Wutai - Stolen Material


Cloud and the others land the Tiny Bronco on the shores of Wutai and start making their way north. On a hilltop, Yuffie runs ahead and stands in their way.

Yuffie
Wait, wait, wait, wai----t!!

Barret
What!? The hell happened, all of a sudden!?

Tifa
What the--? Did something happen?

Nanaki
What happened all of a sudden!? Don't scare me like that!

Vincent
What happened all of a sudden? Did something happen?

Yuffie
I know this area pretty well.
It gets pretty tough past here. Better get ready...

Barret
...You serious? And you sayin' that just now means you're up to somethin'! Right!?
That means, I don't trust you.

Tifa
...Really? Something's telling me I still shouldn't trust you.
Are you thinking of tricking us again...?

Nanaki
Hmm, ... Smells fishy.
My nose never lies!

Vincent
Further down? I don't see any signs of danger...
Also, there's something unnatural in the way Yuffie's acting...

Yuffie
No! It's REALLY tough...

Soldiers
There they are, catch 'em!!

Shinra soldiers run in.

Aeris
Hey, the Shinra......!?

Nanaki
It's Shinra!!

Cait Sith
That's Sh... Shinra's......

Cid
What, the Shinra!?

Shinra Soldier
Hey, that's not them! These are the other guys from before!!

Barret
Yuffie, so you're...!

Tifa
Yuffie, you're not......!

Nanaki
So you were, Yuffie...!!

Vincent
So what does this mean... You will explain this later...

Yuffie
I didn't know! I have nothing to do with this one!

Barret
Whaddya mean 'this one'!? 'This one'!
So you WERE plannin' somethin'!!

Tifa
This one? Did you just say 'THIS one'?
So you WERE trying to pull something off!

Nanaki
What do you mean 'this one' 'THIS one'!
So you were concocting some evil scheme!!

Vincent
What do you mean, 'This one'?
You had something else in mind?

Yuffie
No, umm, uh......

Shinra Soldiers
What should we do!?
Uh...... Get them! Grab them and ask questions later!!

The soldiers run to attack Cloud and the others, and Yuffie runs off in the confusion.

Barret
The hell's goin' on!?
I knew somethin' was missing. All my materia's gone!!

Tifa
What's going on!?
I thought something was fishy... My, my materia is missing!!

Nanaki
What's going on?
I thought something was funny, my materia, disappeared!!

Vincent
I thought something was wrong, So that's it.
Look, my materia's been stolen...

Aeris
Hey... where's Yuffie...?

Nanaki
Hey... where's Yuffie...?

Cait Sith
Now... where's Yuffie...?

Cid
Ey... where the hell's that damn kid...?

They all look around.

Barret
That &*&$ kid!!!
Grrrrrgh!! Arrrrrgh Uhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
She was after our materia from the start!!
She went North! When I get my hand on her, I'll get our materia back!
C'mon! We're goin' after her!

Tifa
She's done it to us again!!
I'm never gonna forgive her!
She was after our materia from the beginning.
I won't let her get away with it! I'm pretty sure she ran off North. Let's go after her!!

Nanaki
ZOUNDS!!
Grrrrrrrrrgh...... Grrrgh! Grrrrrrgh!!
Her objective was stealing our materia from the beginning.
...sniff... North! She ran off to the North!
I'm not going to let her get away with this! Hurry, hurry! We have to get our materia back!

Vincent
Inexcusable...
Seems as though all that she was after was our materia.
We can't just let her get away. She ran off...... to the North...
We must go after her and retrieve our materia back.

They go North and arrive in Wutai, where they immediately spot Yuffie.

Yuffie
Hey!!

She runs off.

Woman Walking near River
Life is just like the flowing of a river. It flows from the large ocean of life, and eventually it returns back to it.
Wutai is a historical place. THere are some very unusual things here you should see.

At Yuffie's house..

Yuffie
This is MY house! Nobody gets in!

In the Weapons shop...

Shopkeeper
Sorry, listen I... No, nothing... never mind.

Man
Sorry, but we're entirely sold out now.
What's this here? Ah, no... that's uh...
...a sample! Yeah, that's it... a sample. Sory, but why don't you all come back later?

The local pub, Turtle's Paradise... Outside is a flyer.

Pub [Turtle's Paradise] Publicity Flyers! Notice
[Turtle's Paradise] is now having a Publicity flyer campaign.
They will be posted all over the world. So make sure you look for our flyers that say "Turtle's Paradise"
There's six in all. If you find them all, make sure to let the owner of Turtle's Paradise know. You can win a prize!
Just reading them's good enough, so please don't take them down or rip them up!!
--Owner, Turtle's Paradise

Barkeeper
Hey, hey, welcome! You on a trip? Well, just relax and make yourself at home.
Nowadays, thanks to tourism, Wutai's able to get by.

Man
Hey. Did you hear? There used to be a Water God here in Wutai.
They say the Water God was a huge snake!
Now we live in a world filled with Mako. Not many people would believe in something like that now.
But some in the world, and here in Wutai, still believe.
Believe in the scales of the Water God and in materia that has its power in it.

Cloud walks up to the Turks - Reno, Rude, and Elena - who are drinking at the bar.

Elena
Yy, you!? How did you get here...?

She jumps up.

Never mind that. I guess it's fate that brought us together.
Get ready to die!!

Cloud and the others ready their weapons. Reno and Rude don't move.

Reno
...Elena, you talk too much.

Elena
Ww, what?

Reno
What are we doing way out here in the middle of nowhere?

Elena
We're taking our vacation and resting up from our work.

Reno
Now our facation is ruined.

Elena
B, but...

Rude
...even the booze tastes bad now.

Elena
...sorry...

She sits back down, and Cloud relaxes.

Elena
Hmm, you're lucky all right. Now get out of my sight!
The next time we meet I won't be so nice.

Reno
Drink, Rude! How long have we been a team...?
There have been hard times being a Turk, but all in all, I'm glad I did it.
I even got to meet a bunch of wing nuts like you.

Rude
To the Turks... To Reno... cheers!

In the Item Shop...

Shopkeeper
We got a lot of different stuff here. Take what you want.

Woman
I'm sorry. The sign outside says "Materia", but there's almost no materia left anywhere in Wutai.
Listen, this is just a backwoods town. We don't have much to do with Shinra, and besides...
If we had a lot of materia, Wutai would be a much more exciting town, but we don't...

Cloud opens the treasure chest.

Received "MP Absorb" Materia!

Yuffie jumps down.

Stole "MP Absorb" Materia!

Woman
Huh? What? You DID?

Little Kid
Alright, alright, alright! I know!
On the side of the mountain, right there in your face is Da-chao!
I hear you can climb to the top, but since it's dangerous I'd be mighty careful if I were you!
A girl with materia? No, there hasn't been anyone climbing Da-chao for some time now.

Man on the Path to Godo's House
Lord Godo is in this house.
He used to be quite strong, but now, all he does is sleep......
Yuffie's like that, you know. Sometimes she'll just bust into people's houses.
Then she hides in the shadows... Just like a little kid.

Man outside Godo's House
That five-storied pagoda over there is called the Pagoda of the Five Mighty Gods...
The Five Gods are Power, Speed, Magic, War and Omni, who has the best characteristics of everything.
Since ancient times, we in Wutai, have worshipped Da-chao and the Water God.
Legend has it that the village has been protected by Da-chao, the Water God, and the Five Mighty Gods.
But in the last battle, we didn't fare so well... I guess our beliefs were based on nothing more than legends.

In the pagoda...

Gorky
...

If Cloud tries to run upstairs...

Gorky
Freeze!
You aren't from Wutai, are you?

Cloud
- No
- Yes

  • No

    Gorky
    Only those from Wutai are allowed in the tower!
    I'll have to ask for you to leave!


  • Yes

    Gorky
    Hey! I hate people who lie about their identities! Leave this tower at once!

Inside Godo's house, they find Godo lying on a futon.

Godo
GOOGAH... what do you want?
Don't have... GAH... anything much but, you should be able to... GOO... rest yourselves here. GOGAH... make yourselves at home.
......Yuffie? ......nope, never heard of her. ...GOOGO...
...you again? I told you once, and I'm telling you again, I don't know her.

He sits up.

Listen, I said I didn't know her! There isn't anyone named Yuffie here in Wutai!

He gets to his feet and turns to face Cloud.

...never seen you around here before...
Lately I've been seeing a lot of Shinra soldiers around here... You wouldn't have anything to do with that would you?
I don't care about who you are.
But if you're in trouble with the Shinra, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
I don't want the Shinra hanging around here looking over my shoulder.

Yuffie
What's with you, you coward!

She jumps down from the ceiling to stand in his doorway.

Godo
Yuffie......!

Yuffie
You scared of the Shinra?
Then why don't you fall into line and obey them, just like all of the other towns!

She runs into the room.

Those guys are the ones who are really fighting the Shinra!

Godo
Shut up! What would you know about this?

Yuffie
You get beaten once, and then that's it?
What happened to the mighty Wutai I used to know?

Godo
No kid like you's going to talk to me like that!
You keep acting like that! You ought to be ashamed of yourself!

Yuffie
That's my style! And it's my own business, not yours! Don't you try and dictate what I should do!

Godo
Style...? Dictate...?
Throwin' around all those fancy words... You're a miserable daughter!

Yuffie
Hmph! You're a sad excuse for a father!!

She runs out and into the shrine. Godo starts to chase after her, but gives up and returns to his room.

Godo
......take your things and get out of here now.
To protect Wutai, we cannot afford to stand up to Shinra.

Man on the Path to Godo's House
She's always getting into fights. But in that, she takes after Godo to a tee.
Like father like daughter...
Yuffie's like that, you know. Sometimes she'll just bust into people's houses.
Then she hides in the shadows... Just like a little kid.

At the old man's house...

Boy
Oh no! More weirdos
No, these aren't like the one from a while ago, but these ones look weird too!

Old Man
Well, well. Long time no see. What have you been up to? Let's see... what was your name?

Boy
No, Gramps! This isn't anyone you know! This is just some stranger who barged into our house!
What are we going to do, Gramps? Some strange-looking girl came in here a minute ago and I...

Cloud pushes aside a screen to reveal Yuffie hiding behind it.

Yuffie
......

She dashes out of the house.

Old Man
Oh, how exciting. You a friend of my grandson's?

Boy
No, Gramps! These guy's are creepy! They're runnin' all over the place!

Outside the Turtle's Paradise, there is a barrel that's jiggling. Cloud and the others position themselves near the escape routes and then open it. Yuffie jumps out and tries to get away, but finds herself surrounded.

Cloud
You can't get away, Yuffie.

Yuffie
O... ok, I know... I was wrong......
You win. I'll give you back your materia...

She leads them to her house, just as two soldiers run into Turtle's Paradise.



Shinra Soldier
So our reports were right! He IS here on vacation!
We've finally found him! Get the Turks here for back-up!

Reno
...what a drag.

Shinra Soldier
Wh, what was that...?

Reno
Right now we're off duty and can't run off to save your butts.

Shinra Soldier
We know you're off duty, but...

Reno
If you knew that, then don't bother us! Lookin' at you is makin' me sober.

Shinra Soldier
But you all have orders from headquarters to look for him too!

There is a pause. Reno says nothing.

Shinra Soldier
All right, that's it! We'll get him without any help from the Turks, just you see!

The two soldiers run out. One comes back momentarily.

Shinra Soldier
And don't think that headquarters isn't going to hear about this!!

He leaves again.

Elena
Reno, do you think that was really such a good idea!?
I mean is that the way a professional, a Turk would act!?

Reno
Elena. Don't misunderstand.
A pro isn't someone who sacrifices himself for his job. That's just a fool.

Elena
Rude...?

Rude
.........

Elena
Well, I don't buy that! Goodbye!!

She runs out.

Rude
.........

Reno
Relax. She's not a child. Let her have her way now...



At Yuffie's house...

Yuffie
I know, the materia, right? I have it stored in a safe place. ...Follow me.

She leads them down to the basement, a training room.

...I've been hearing that ever since I was little. Before I was born, Wutai was a lot more crowded and more important...
You saw what it looks like now, right? ...JUST a resort town...
After we lost the war, we got peace, but with that, we lost something else. Now look at Wutai...
That's why... if I had lots of materia I could...

She starts crying.

Cloud
Listen, Yuffie. I don't care about the history of Wutai or your feelings.
You've got our materia and I want it back... now.
If you give it back now, we'll drop the whole thing.

Yuffie
I know. I know that...
That... sniff... switch... the lever on the left...... materia's... sniff, hic... in there.

Barret
Ain't nuthin' we can do about it...

Aeris
I feel bad, but......

Cloud
- Flip the Left Lever
- Flip the Right Lever

Regardless of which lever he pulls, a cage comes down atop the party members.

Aeris
Eyaaaaah

Yuffie
Ha ha ha------! Never trust anyone that easily!!
The Materia's mine! Tough!
You want your materia? Then go find it yourself!
Yeah that's right. And when you're looking for the materia, remember you gotta steel it.
He heh... steel... steel! Get it?
C ya!!

She runs off. Cloud frees the others from the cage and they go looking for her.

At the Turtle's Paradise...

Barkeeper
Seems like the town got really boisterous since you arrived. Did anything happen?

Reno
......It's just that we're off duty!
I don't feel like drinking with you. And don't talk to me.

Rude
.........

Cloud goes to the bell near Godo's house to find the gate open. When he rings the bell, a hidden door opens. Going inside, he finds Yuffie being abducted by a man in black.

Yuffie
Let go! I SAID let GO!
Hey! Who do you think I...... OW! What're you doin'...? Jerk!

Cloud
You......!

Corneo
......ho..... ...............ho.........
Hohi, hohi! Hohihi!

Cloud
Corneo!?

Corneo
Hohi!
I've finally got a new chicky!
Two for one, in fact! Hohi, hohi!

Cloud
Two!?

Elena
H......hey! Let go of me! You're gonna regret this!!

Corneo
Hohi, hohi! Hohihi!

Corneo and his lackeys run off, and Cloud follows them into the shrine. Three Shinra soldiers cut Corneo off.

Shinra Soldier
There he is! It's Corneo! Don't let him get away!
Attaaaack!

Corneo runs aside, and the soldiers attack Cloud and the others instead. The Turks are standing outside Godo's house.

Reno
Hmm... that Corneo is good at escaping...

Rude
......Elena.

Reno
Let's go, Rude. We'll give them a taste of what the Turks can do.

Rude nods and runs off.

Reno
......Sounded pretty good.

He turns to Cloud.

If Elena is in his hands, that's going to make things a little difficult.
And uh...

Cloud
......Ok. Corneo took Yuffie from us.
And without Yuffie, there's no way we'll get our materia back.

Reno
Don't misunderstand.
We have no intention of joining you. But for now, we'll agree not to bother each other. That's all.

Cloud
That's fine. We have absolutely no intention of cooperating with the Turks either.
Now, uh, just what direction did Corneo run off to?

Reno
Hmm, nice attitude. Here's a clue, it's the place that stands out the most.

Reno runs off.

Man on the Path to Godo's House
Two girls just went off towards Da-chao. I wonder if that place is starting to become popular with the kids?
One had herself all tangled up in a rope. And the other one kind of looked like Yuffie.

Little Kid
Alright, alright, alright! I saw an old man in flashy clothes running towards Da-chao!
He was babblin' somethin' and looked like he could float! It almost bowled me over!

Cloud arrives at Da-chao.

Reno
You're finally here. We're gonna split into two.
You do whatever you want. But don't endanger Elena.
Don't worry. We won't do anything to that girl, Yuffie.
For now...

Following Reno...

Reno
Don't fool around. You know the enemy's not gonna wait for us, right?

Following Rude...

Rude
......

In the end they find Corneo holding Yuffie and Elena tied to the face of a statue, observing from the palm of the statue's hand.

Yuffie
LET... ME...... GO!!!!

Corneo
Hmm! Delicious... scrumptious! I think I've just found a new HOBBY!
Which shall it be? Hmm... Hmm...
Should I go... with HER?

Elena
He... hey, I'm one of the 'Turks'! Don't think you can get away with this!?

Corneo
Or... maybe... HER?

Yuffie
Oh GAWD! If I knew this was gonna happen, I would've taken rope escape lessons more seriously!!

Corneo
Hmm!!! I've made my choice! My companion for the night will be......
...the cheerful one!

Yuffie
GROSS-NESS!
Don't mess with me old man! You don't even have any Materia!

Corneo
Oooooh! And she's saucy, too! Wheee! Wheee!

Cloud
All right, that's it!!

Corneo
Hee-haw. What... what's goin' on!? Who's there?

Cloud and the others run in.

Yuffie
Oh man! Cloud......!

Corneo
Wheeel... long time no see.

Cloud
Don't tell me you forgot...

Tifa
That fall into the trap really hurt!

Nanaki
Hurry and let the two go!

Cid
Maybe God'd forgive an ugly ^#@# like you, but I won't!

Vincent
I don't care what you're doing, so much as the idiotic way you're doing it...

Corneo
Be quiet! None of you know how much I've suffered since then...
It's a long story, but......

Tifa
We don't want to hear it! Just let the two go!

Cid
I don't really give a damn! You're gonna let the two girls go, or else I'm gonna break your arm!

Corneo
Hmm... You guys are... serious. ......Good, good.
...this ain't no time for me to be fooling around either...
Why did you kill my little Aps?
I'm gonna make you PLAY with my new pet, so you won't get in the way of my search for a bride!
RAPPS---come here!!

Cloud and the others fight and defeat Rapps.

Corneo
Wait...
Just wait a second!

Cloud
SHUT UP!

Corneo
Just listen to me - it won't take long.
Why do you think a bad guy like me would swallow his pride and plead for his life?

Cloud
- 1 Because he's ready to die
- 2 Because he's sure to win
- 3 Because he's clueless

  • 1 Because he's ready to die

    Corneo
    Hmm...! WRONG...!


  • 2 Because he's sure to win

    Corneo
    Hmm...! RIGHT!


  • 3 Because he's clueless

    Corneo
    ____

Corneo pushes a button and Elena and Yuffie flip upside down.

Elena
Eyaaaah...!

Yuffie
Makes me so MAD...!

Corneo
If I push this button, they'll fall upside down, and we'll have a SQUASHED TOMATOES!

Cloud
Damn...!

Tifa
Coward!

Nanaki
Grrrrrgh...!

Cid
So this is how a loser lives...!

Vincent
......!

Corneo
Now, give me your women too!
Ha, ha, ha, ha! I guess I'm the one laughing last!

Reno
No, that would be us.

Corneo
Hee-haw. What... what's goin' on!? Who's there?

Enter Reno.

Corneo
...The Turks!

Reno
You knew this was gonna happen ever since you leaked that secret.
We're going to take care of you... personally.

Corneo
DAMMIT! Then they're all goin' with me!

Rude runs in from behind, throwing a knife at Corneo, who falls to the edge of the hand.

Corneo
Ugh...!

Reno
Good timing, Rude.

Rude
...Let's get to work.

Reno walks over to Corneo and steps on his fingers.

Reno
All right, Corneo. This'll be over quick, so listen up.
Why do you think we went to all the trouble of teaming up with those guys to get you...?
1. Because we were ready to die
2. Because we were sure of victory
3. Because we were clueless

Corneo
Two... Number two?

Reno
All wrong.

He grinds his foot into Corneo's hand.

Corneo
No...! Wait, sto......!

He loses his grip and falls.

Aaaaaaaaaa......p

Reno
The correct answer was...

Rude
...because it's our job.

Elena
Oh, thank you very much...!
I never expected you'd to come help......

Reno
Elena, don't act so weak.
You're a Turks!

Elena
Y... Yes, sir!

Aeris
Thanks for your help.

Nanaki
I'll just say you... helped.

Cid
I guess, thanks for today.

Rude
......

Reno's cell phone rings, and he answers it.

Reno
Yes... this is Reno.
Yes... Yes... I'll get on it right away.

Elena
Was that the company?

Reno
Yeah, they want us to find Cloud...

Cloud and the others ready their weapons.

Rude
Are we on...?

Reno
No, today we're off duty.

Yuffie
Hey---who cares about that!? Get----me-----down----!

Back at Yuffie's house. She darts around putting the materia back in its slots.

Yuffie
Phew, perfect. Now the materia is back in its righful place.

Cloud
Hey... the placement of it is all messed up.

Yuffie
Huh? Oh, it'll be all right...
Don't be so picky!
Anyways, that sure was close......
No, normally I would kick their butts, Boom, Bang!!

She shakes her fist and turns away.

That Corneo guy's a real pain.

Behind her back, Cloud and the others exchange looks.

Yuffie
I'd rather deal with my dad than deal with that guy.

Cloud and the others walk out.

Yuffie
Oh, by the way, some of those guys from the Turks are good, huh?
At least, after all that, we got the materia back.
Now come on everybody, let's continue our journey...

She turns around to notice they've gone.

......Hey!! W...... Wait!
Oh, all right. Here, I'll give this to you guys.

She runs into her room to grab something and comes back out.

Here, look, look!

Received "MP Absorb" Materia!

Yuffie
.........
Come on, wait---!

She runs out after them.

No matter what anyone says, I'm going with you!
...next time......



After everything has died down, they can go back to Wutai so Yuffie can climb the pagoda.

Woman Walking near River
Materia is like Life. They both come from the large ocean of life, and both must return to it.

In the Weapons Shop...

Man
Listen, I'm sorry about last time. Yuffie told me not to sell anything to you.

Shopkeeper
Hey yo! Welcome!
Strike while the iron's hot, I say! We got some of the best blades right out of the furnace!

Little Kid
Alright, alright, alright! I know!
On the side of the mountain, right there in your face is Da-chao!
I hear you can climb to the top, but since it's dangerous I'd be mighty careful if I were you!
Why Da-chao? Alright, alright, alright! I don't know!

Cloud and the others enter the pagoda.

Gorky
Oh, Miss Yuffie! Will you be climbing the pagoda today?

Yuffie
- Yeah, that's it
- No way!

Gorky
Then I, Sacred Gorky, will be your opponent on the first floor!

A boy runs down from upstairs.

Shake
Yo! They call me Shake! I'll be watchin' your fight with Gorky!

Gorky
Then, begin!
Power Change!

Yuffie fights Gorky.

  • If she loses...

    ___


  • If she wins...


    Gorky
    Here I am, Miss Yuffie!


    Yuffie
    Of course!


    Shake
    Hmm, I thought you were just a wild girl, but you handled that pretty well!
    Well, we'll see how you do on next one...

Shake goes upstairs, and Yuffie follows.

Yuffie
Who's next?

Shake
Are you blind? I'm right here!

Yuffie
What? I gotta fight a punk?

Shake
Heh! Punk. I'm more of an adult than some bimbo girl!

Yuffie
Wh, what did you say!?

Shake
See what I mean? That kind of anger's what makes you so immature!
Don't pat yourself on the back until you beat me!

Yuffie
Now watch...!

Shake
'bout the only thing you do really good is breathe! Sure you're brave enough to fight!

Yuffie
- Stop yappin'!
- I'll forgive you

  • Stop yappin'!

    Shake
    Hm, so someone finally got past Gorky.


  • I'll forgive you

    Shake
    So when it comes down to it, you're just all talk. Brat!

A woman comes down from upstairs.

Chekhov
So, I guess it's time for Chekhov to stand in...

Shake
Here I go, brat! Speed Change!

Yuffie fights Shake.

  • If she loses...


    Shake
    HYAAAAAAH! BRATBRATBRATBRAT!!


    Chekhov
    You can't go to the next floor unless you beat Shake.


    Yuffie
    Shut up! Shut up! SHADDUP!


  • If she wins...


    Shake
    URRGRAAAAGH! So you CAN fight a bit!


    Yuffie
    Of course!

    Chekhov
    Ho, ho, ho... It's been a while since I felt pain...

Chekhov goes upstairs, and Yuffie follows. A man comes down from the fourth floor.

Staniv
So even Shake's been defeated. It's been a while since you had to fight, Chekhov.

Chekhov
Unfortunately, this is as far as it goes. Staniv, you watch over there.

Yuffie
That ain't going to happen! I'll teach you about the strength of youth!

Chekhov
Keep mouthing off like that, little girl, and you're going to get burned.

Yuffie
- I got insurance
- Let's get this over with, old bag

  • I got insurance

    Chekhov
    Ho, ho, ho. We'll see if you still talk like that after you taste some of my Sacred Magic...
    Magic Change!


  • Let's get this over with, old bag

    Chekhov
    Ho, ho, ho. What do you expect from a child barely out of diapers!?

Staniv
First, Chekhov will keep you company...

If Yuffie tries to go to the next floor prematurely...

Chekhov
How dare they mock us like that, thinking they could sneak past us.

Yuffie fights Chekhov.

    I can't believe you beat me...


    Yuffie
    Of course!


    Staniv
    This should be interesting...! It's been a long time since I've had a chance to use my powers to their fullest...

Staniv goes upstairs, and Yuffie follows.

Staniv
The rule is the best fighter on each floor will be your opponent... Although it's a five-storied pagoda, the fourth floor is the highest...
In other words, no one has ever defeated me--Master of Weaponry!
You still want to try...?

Yuffie
- Just come on!!
- I'll pass!

  • Just come on!!

    Staniv
    I like you! Now watch...
    Weapon Change!


  • I'll pass!

    Staniv
    You don't seem like the kind of person who can make it to the fourth floor without a problem...

If Yuffie tries to go to the next floor prematurely...

Staniv
HAAAAH!

The door closes.

Yuffie fights Staniv.

  • If she loses...


    ____


  • If you win...


    Staniv
    Wh, what...!?


    Yuffie
    Of course!

The others start coming up from the lower floors.

Gorky
Splendid! Your level and skills have improved...

Shake
Oh, ho! You might not be as much of a child as we thought you were!

Chekhov
Of course. If WE lost to her...

Staniv
You have defeated four of our best, but now you will have to face HIM......!

He goes upstairs, and the others follow. Yuffie finds the four of them assembled on the fifth floor, along with Godo.

Gorky
......

Shake
Sh......!

Chekhov
...

Staniv
......

Yuffie
D, ...Dad!?

Godo
I'm glad you made it this far, Yuffie!

Yuffie
Why, why are you......

Godo
I'll answer you by having you try your skills against me!
Hold nothing back. Come as if you're trying to kill me! If you don't... then I'll have to kill you!

Yuffie
H... hey!

Godo
What are you doing! OMNI-Change! ......!!

Yuffie fights Godo.

If she loses...

Yuffie
Dammit......

Godo
Ohhh! And what was that!? Come back when you get more training!

When Yuffie tries again...

Yuffie
I'll show you this time, you old Fart-meister!

Godo
Hmm? A slight improvement.
Come at me with all you have! OMNI-Change! ......!!

After winning the battle, both lie sprawled on the floor panting.

Yuffie
...heave...... heave...

Godo
...huff...... puff......

Yuffie
O... old coot... n...... ot... bad...

Godo
You've...... also...... improved...

Yuffie
Hah... Ha, ha......

Godo
...Heh, heh......

Yuffie
Ha ha haaaaaa......!

Godo
Waha haaaaa......!

They eventually get up off the floor and compose themselves.

Godo
It's time I gave this to you, Yuffie...
This is Leviathan Materia. Take it.

Received "Leviathan" Materia!

Staniv
But, Lord Godo. The Leviathan Materia should only be given to the person who conquers and takes over this Pagoda. That is our custom...

Yuffie
CUSTOM, CUSTOM, CUSTOM... I'm so sick of hearing that!
It's so stupid!

Gorky
Silence, Miss Yuffie!

Yuffie
Then what 'bout the rest of you? You have all that power...
Are you satisfied being cooped up in this tower?

Godo
Yuffie...!

Yuffie
You too, dad...! Just because you lost the war!
And turning Wutai into a place like this!

Chekhov
...What do you want to say?

Yuffie
You turned Wutai into a cheesy resort town peddling to tourists...
How dare you!? Da-chao Statue and Leviathan are ashamed!!

Godo
...

Shake
She IS a kid.

Yuffie
Wh, what did you say...!?

Godo
Yuffie!!
Forgive me... It's all my fault...

Gorky
What are you saying, Lord Godo!

Godo
Losing the war... turning Wutai into this. It was all my fault...

Chekhov
Lord Godo!

Godo
Silence!!
Yuffie......
I am the same now as I was before when I wanted the war.
But, after I lost the war, I began to think...
Is strength, only for defeating the enemy?
...or just something to show-off to others...?
Might begets might.
That's the same way as the Shinra...

Yuffie
......

Godo
I knew you were looking for Materia for the good of Wutai.
But, the reason I hide my strength now, is also for the good of Wutai...
And now, I realize both are necessary...
Strength without determination means nothing. And determination without strength is equally useless...!

Staniv
Lord Godo...

Godo
You there, please take Yuffie with you!
I preceive that you all have both determination and strength!

Aeris
All right. We'll take your daughter with us.

Cloud
All right, I don't mind.

Godo
Go, Yuffie!
For the sake of strengthening Wutai!

Yuffie
Dad...

Godo
I'll take care of the Five Sacred Gods until you return!
Go! And come back alive!

Yuffie
......
Of course!

Everyone else files out, and Yuffie starts to follow them.

Godo
Yuffie, wait a minute.
The Materia they all have...
After their battle is over, you think they'll still want it?

Yuffie
Dad...!

Godo
Go! Survive till the end! And return!
With the Materia!

Yuffie
Heh, heh... you bet!

She runs off.

Godo
Go! Survive to the end! And return to us!
Mat-...
Take care of the Materia!!

Staniv
Miss Yuffie. Your feelings for Wutai are the same as Lord Godo's. Always remember that...

Chekhov
Fight so that you never bring shame on Wutai.

Shake
You say there's some unusual materia where the underground pipe is!?
But, first you gotta get if from a monster and unless you use your head. You won't be able to do it.

Gorky
Miss Yuffie. We pray for your success!

Cloud and the others leave Wutai and return to their quest.
