Junon - Huge Materia

Lower Junon

The Underwater Reactor

Stealing a Submarine

Back in Junon

The Sunken Gelnika

Back on the Highwind


Cloud and the others arrive at lower Junon.

Woman
They say Shinra's gathering Huge Materia from around the world and bringing it to Junon.
Bringing it to Junon must mean they want to use their airplanes.
I've noticed there's been a lot of Shinra ships recently. I think they're going to the off-shore Underwater Reactor.
Isn't Shinra trying to transport the Reactor's Huge Materia?

Older Man
I remember years ago, seein' the Shinra build a long pipe underwater.
The underwater reactor is connected to Junon by a pipe.
You should be able to get to the reactor through it.

Priscilla
Who are you---?
Cloud!!
Stupid jerk! Look how much you made me worry!! Were you at the Lifestream?

Cloud
Yeah, that's right.

Priscilla
You've gotta be more careful! Because you're going to marry me one day.

Cloud takes the elevator to Upper Junon.

Soldier on the Path to the Airport
The Shinra's collecting Huge Materia at the Junon Undersea Reactor!
When they're done, they'll bring it to this airport.
Get out of here before you get in the way!
What... me? I'm gonna be watching from here, so that I don't get in their way either!

Cloud runs outside to the airport.

Soldier
After they get it, they'll take it to the airport and will transport it to Rocket Town by Gelnika. Don't let your guard down!

Soldier 2
They've finally started collecting the Huge Materia from the Junon Underwater Reactor.

Cloud leaves the base and starts down the street, then stops and turns to his companions. Behind them, the Junon cannon is no longer visible.

Cloud
I may be mistaken, but...... Doesn't it feel like we're missing something?

Cloud and the others continue on. On the path to the reactor, they come across a commander drilling his soldiers.

Commander
All right!! Let's see how hard you trained!
Attention! Charge--!!

The soldiers all charge in the opposite direction.

Commander
He... hey--!! That's the Underwater Reactor!! Come back!!

The commander runs after them. At the end of the path, Cloud gets on an elevator with two soldiers and a redhead.

Soldier
How 'bout, whoever stays alive, gets to take her out?

Soldier 2
All right, you're on!!
But... What if both of us...

Soldier
Whoa!! Don't even talk about that!

Cloud defeats both of them.

Redhead
...gulp... (Great... there went two perfectly good men!)

The elevator reaches the lower floor, and another pair of soldiers appears outside it to fight them.

Soldier 3
OK! Back to work!! Back to work!!

Soldier 4
Yawn... I'm sleepy!!

Soldier 3
For Junon!!

Cloud and the others continue on, go down another elevator, and pass through the underwater pipe to the reactor. They cross a catwalk above the submarine dock and fight their way through the reactor.

Soldiers in Reactor
You, you're Cloud!!
You are NOT getting this Huge Materia!!
So you WERE after the Huge Materia!

Cloud and the others reach where the Huge Materia is stored.

Cloud
!? The Huge Materia!

They watch as a machine arm reaches down and removes the Huge Materia.

Barret
Damn, just missed it!

Tifa
They're gonna take it on that submarine!

Nanaki
If we take a short cut, we might just make it......!

Yuffie
Hey! A Crane Game!

Cait Sith
There's the submarine dock just ahead of us.

Vincent
We were a little late...

Cid
That's what you think! ^%$@#&$#!

They run to the submarine dock. Reno is standing with his back to them, supervising.

Cloud
Did we make it!?

He watches as the Huge Materia is lowered into the red submarine.

Reno
What are you doing? Help load.

He turns around.

Cloud!?

Barret
We're gonna help transport the Huge Materia... Reno!

Tifa
Looks like we barely made it.

Nanaki
Help?

Yuffie
I'm SURE! You want me to do manual labor?

Vincent
I refuse...

Cid
You know I don't work for cheap!

Cloud
Either give it to us or else.
...which is it gonna be?

Reno
Unfortunately, I don't have time to deal with you.
My priority is the Huge Materia!

He runs off, leaving Cloud and the others to fight the Carry Armor roboguard. After the battle, they find the red sub has already left.

Cloud
Damn! The submarine!

Barret
Damn! So they was just buyin' time!?

Tifa
We have to go after it!

Nanaki
But it's already in the water!

Yuffie
!? The Huge Materia!

Cait Sith
Oh no! It left the dock...

Vincent
There is one way...

Cid
Hold on to your horses! Let's get it from them!!

If Cloud tries to leave the submarine dock instead...

Barret
We ain't jes' gonna let them take the Huge Materia, are we?

Tifa
Cloud--! We have to go after Rude!

Nanaki
Aren't we going after the Huge Materia?

Yuffie
Wait a sec! What about the Huge Materia---?

Cait Sith
Hey you! Where ya goin'?

Cid
Hey, hey, hey! Where do you think you're goin'?

They run for the other submarine, and the soldiers just outside it turn frantic.

Soldiers
Y, you...!
You're not taking over this ship!

They defeat the soldiers and board the submarine.

Soldiers
You want the Sub? Just try an' take it!
Um... sir! Maybe we shouldn't piss them off...

They fight off these soldiers, too.

Barret
Come on, Cloud! Follow me!
Damn, man!! ......what the...?
Hey yo! Remember I was the leader first, man!
Yo! We come a long ways since we got on that train!
Lotsa things changed! This and that.

They enter the bridge.

Captain
NO, NO!! This is terrible!

Soldiers
We don't have much time left! I don't want to die!
There's still so much more I've got to do!
I never even got to do my special victory dance in battle!

Captain
All right!! Then make this your first victory!!
Go on, show 'em!!

Soldiers
Yes, sir!!

Captain
Remember your last training. Begin!!

Soldiers
Yes, sir!!

Captain
I'm back! An' now I got no regrets!!
ATT----ACK!!

Cloud
Hmmmm...
- Fight them
- Take them prisoner

Fight them

Captain
Let me show you how it's done.

Soldier
Eyaaarrrgh!
Captain... I can't hold on any longer!
Eyaaarrrgh!

Captain
Uggh... They got me.

Soldier 2
The Special Pose...

Take them prisoner

The soldiers move aside to let Cloud and the others into the control room.

Cloud crouches down, wringing his hands. Yuffie doesn't look any better off.

Cloud
Someone... please. I'm sorry I can't take it anymore.
The lack of space, the shaking, the roar of the engine...

Barret
Stop your blubberin'!! How we gonna move this without you?

Tifa
What are we going to do... We stole a submarine but can't pilot it.

Nanaki
My legs can't budge it.

Yuffie
I... I can't... I'm history.

Cait Sith
I can't fit in this seat... No good!

Vincent
Better hurry. Reno's getting away.

Cid
DAMN-SAM! I've GOT to get back in the air!

One of the others goes up to the control panel and presses a button.

Barret
Arrrrrrrgh!!
EY!! Looks likes we're almost on our way! Just keep on fiddlin' with it!!
It's all up to you!

Tifa
See!?
Just fiddle with the controls, and we'll get somewhere!
Hey Cloud? Why don't you try piloting it?
They say you don't get motion sickness if you're driving.

Nanaki
It moved!
Cloud!! Try it!

Yuffie
HEY---! It's movin'!
Oh man, this sucks!! Cloud, do something!

Cait Sith
It's movin'--- Keep it up, Cloud!

Vincent
I'm not very mechanical, but it seems like we're starting to move.
Hang in there.

Cid
Hunka junk... just gotta do this!
SEE! Now you take over!

Cloud gets up.

Cloud
Hey, you're right... I DO feel a little better driving.
No sweat. Just leave everything to me.

Barret
Don't worry!
If it breaks down, I'll smack it one--that'll fix it!

Tifa
You can do it, Cloud!

Nanaki
Cloud!! Try it!

Yuffie
I'll hold my breath, so HURRY!

Cait Sith
Oh please drive safely, Cloud!

Vincent
Shinra's technology is really something.

Cid
I'll be watchin' from here!

Soldiers
I thank you! I am happy to be a hostage!
Piloting a submarine is very difficult! I am completely clueless!

Captain
Hey! Who am I to know!

Cloud
Well, now what?
- Read the manual
- Sit in the seat
- Leave it alone

Read the manual

Submarine Operation Manual - Beginner's Edition

A button controls reference is provided.

Mission Orders: Presently on the ocean floor near Junon, a Red Leader Submarine carrying Huge Materia is being escorted by covert Shinra Submarine Units.
Furthermore, it has been confirmed that several mines have been dispersed onto the ocean floor.
The ocean floor can only be monitored with Shinra's Sonar Radar Screen.
Enemy subs can only be detected with the Sonar area. Get in front of the detected enemy sub and "Lock On"!!
Push [] button to fire the torpedo!
The mines are found on the radar screen at the top of the indicators. The mines inflict great damage, so be careful!
Objective: Sink the Red Leader Submarine carrying the Huge Materia! Time Limit: 10 minutes!
Advice
1. Get the enemy submarine in front of you!
2. Concentrate attack on the Red Leader Submarine!
3. If you lose track of the enemy, push the R1 button and use your radar!

Submarine Operation Manual - Intermediate's Edition
Radar Screen: The mines are found at the top of the indicators on the screen.
The basic strategies are to 1) avoid the indicators, and 2) "Lock On" to enemies from behind.
The lower gauge shows the sub's remaining power. The right gauge shows the sub's speed. Other warnings are as follows...
WARNING... Enemy submarine detected nearby!
ALERT... Approaching torpedo detected!
MINE... Mine detected nearby!
CONFLICT... Collisison with the ocean floor!

Submarine Operation Manual - Advanced Edition

A button controls reference is provided.

How to release the "Lock On" mode: If the sub leaves the center of the sonar screen, the "Lock On" mode will reset.
When Locked On by an enemy torpedo: Shift up to maximum speed by pressing [triangle] button repeatedly.
This will enable you to speed up past the maximum speed and outrun the torpedo! ...That is all.

Sit in the seat

Cloud sits down.

Cloud
Everything seems set...
- Read the manual
- Start the mission!

Once Cloud starts the mission:

Cloud
This switch...?

Main screen: ON
Change the screen mode.

Leave it alone

Cloud shrugs.

Cloud and the others get on with the mission and chase the red leader submarine.

If they successfully shoot down the red leader submarine...

Cloud
Phew--! We did it!!
The Huge Materia should be at the bottom of the sea by now. Let's continue the search...

...All Shinra Submarine Units, do you read...?
...All Shinra Submarine Units, do you read...?

Cloud
Hmm...? ...Must be from Shinra.

...Report, No. 2...

Barret
Is it us?

Tifa
No. 2...
...I saw that written at the dock! They must mean this sub.

Nanaki
We're Submarine No. 2

Yuffie
Oh my gawd...! They mean us.

Cait Sith
We need to respond!

Vincent
We've no choice but to respond.

Cid
Make 'em shut up! Just answer somethin'!

Cloud
All right, I'll do it.
This is Shinra No. 2... Everything's normal.

...Roger...
...Your next mission is...
...Return to Junon Dock...
...We will transport the Huge Materia from the airport...
...Those without other assignments will report for guard duty...
That is all. Over and out...

Cloud
Junon Airport... We should make it if we hurry.
Forget about the Huge Materia for now.
We're climbing!

Barret
Shit! What's all this 'Climbing!' crap? Gimme a break!

Tifa
Aye, aye... CAPTAIN!

Nanaki
Take o-ff!

Yuffie
Climbing...arrrgh...my ears...! LET ME OUT---I HATE THIS---

Cait Sith
We gotta hurry!

Vincent
First the ocean, now the air... What a busy day.

Cid
The airport? No sweat!

[ To Junon Airport ]

If Cloud's submarine is shot down or they run out of time...

Cloud
We're gettin' outta here!

...All Shinra Submarine Units, do you read...?
...Your next mission is...
...Return to Junon Dock...
...We will transport the Huge Materia from the airport...

Cloud
Hear that? Junon Airport!
We can still get the Huge Materia back! Let's hurry!

They hurry from the control room.

Cloud
We're breakin' out of here!

Barret
Whatcha gonna do!?

Tifa
But how? We're at the bottom of the sea!!

Nanaki
I can't swim...

Yuffie
I wanna get outta here, now!

Cait Sith
What we gonna do?

Vincent
We're at the bottom of the sea.

Cid
Damn! What are we gonna do!

Cloud
We're gonna hop on a torpedo and blast outta here!
Don't worry! I won't miss!
We don't even have a target. We're just aiming for the sky.

Fade to black as they run towards the torpedo bay. Cloud comes to on the Junon beach with an old man nearby and Mr. Dolphin splashing him with its tail. The old man runs back into the village, and Cloud sits up.

Cloud
Old man...

Barret
Yo!! Junon airport?

Tifa
Just in time!
Come on! Let's go to the airport!

Nanaki
Ugh. It's salty! Let's go to the airport!

Yuffie
Phew... The air up here is great!
Hey! Let's go to the airport!

Cait Sith
Let's go to the airport!

Vincent
It seems as though we made it. You'll probably head for the airport, right?

Cid
God!! I'm drenched!
Hurry up! Let's get to the airport!

Cloud
Hmm... Junon.
I'd love to get my hands on a submarine right now.

Barret
Yeah! I could go for that! Let's go to the submarine dock under Junon!

Tifa
There should only be a few guards now.
It might be safe to go to the submarine dock under Junon.

Nanaki
I would like to ride it! Let's get one from the submarine dock beneath Junon!

Yuffie
...Yeah!!
The submarine dock underneath Junon! I can steal sub easy enough, but forget about me piloting it!

Cait Sith
Security's pretty light now! The submarine's at the submarine dock!

Vincent
It should be alright.

Cid
You want it? Then you gotta have it! They're down at the submarine dock underneath Junon! You gotta get what you want while you can!

Cloud
Let's go...

The party can now return to the Underwater Reactor, but taking the earlier path through the underwater pipe leads to a locked door. Instead, Cloud talks to a pair of soldiers guarding a door near the entrance with a dog.

Soldiers
This is the Junon Submarine Dock!
If you want to enter, please talk to my dog.
That's all the instructions you're going to get! Let's go!!

Cloud and the others fight and defeat the soldiers, but the dog remains.

Cloud
Damn, Shinra dogs!!
We'll take that submarine!! Out of our way!!

The dog runs through the door, and Cloud gives chase out onto a submarine dock.

Cloud
Shinra dog...!!
- Ignore it
- Dognap it!

Ignore it

Cloud
Feelin' lonely!? You'd better get back to your master.

The dog whimpers and runs away.

Dognap it!

Cloud
Shinra dog!! I'm gonna dognap you!!

The dog whimpers and runs onto the submarine.

Cloud
Those attackers won't bother us now.

Cloud and the others board the submarine.

Soldier
P... Please!! Spare me!!

Cloud
Hmm......
- Take them all hostage
- Fight them

Take them all hostage

Cloud
Be grateful. I'm taking you prisoner.

Soldiers
You're pretty nice!
Thank you!

Fight them

Cloud
Don't think we're weak.

If you try to leave the submarine...

Cloud
We can't go back after coming this far.

If the dog came aboard, it will be waiting outside the bridge. Cloud continues to the bridge to find the captain and two more soldiers.

Cloud
An unconditional surrender, huh?
- I'm your prisoner
- Don't bet on it...

I'm your prisoner

The soldiers nod and step aside.

Don't bet on it...

Cloud and the others fight the soldiers.

Captain
Let me show you how it's done.

Soldier
Captain... I can't hold on any longer!
Eyaaarrrgh!

Captain
Uggh... They got me.

Soldier 2
The Special Pose...

Received "Shinra Sub"!

Cloud hops into the driver's seat.

Cloud
We'll hide it somewhere secluded.

They return to the surface and dock the submarine outside Junon. They hurry back to Junon.

Fisherman
It seems like there's something going on again up there.
Is that huge plane going to take off again with that deafening roar?

Older Man
I just saw some Shinra soldiers all huddled together discussing something.
They said a plane carrying Huge Materia would be taking off from the airport above.

They take the elevator to Upper Junon.

Soldier on the Path to the Airport
Finished loading the Huge Materia!
All we have to do now is to ready the cargo ship, 'Gelnika', for departure and we're done!

Cloud arrives at the airport only to watch the Gelnika take off from Junon.

Cloud
Oh no! The Huge Materia...

Barret
Let's go after it!

Tifa
Can't we go after it?

Yuffie
Let's get there before they do and catch 'em!

Cait Sith
How 'bout us getting there beforehand and stealing it back?

Vincent
Let's go after it.

Cid
Grrrrgh! Just barely! We're goin' after it!

Barret
But where to?

Tifa
Where are they headed?

Nanaki
Where's their destination?

Yuffie
Hey, where? Where? Where are they headed?

Cait Sith
Where is it flying to?

Vincent
Where is their destination...?

Cid
Where's that thing headed?

Cloud
Rocket Town, of course.

Soldier
Whew... I hope everything goes all right until we get to Rocket Town. Then, our mission is nearly complete.

Soldier 2
Not so fast. We still have one major task... we still have to transport the stuff...

Soldier
The stuff...

Soldier on the Path to the Airport
I'm glad we got Gelnika to the Rocket Town safely.
But they sure think big. Looks like they're going to use the Huge Materia's to break up Meteor...

Cloud and the others leave Junon.

If they successfully shot down the red leader sub, they can now search the ocean floor for it.

Cloud
So this is the Leader Sub...
Damn...... makes me sick just thinking about it...

...Huge Materia recovered...
...no damage appears to have been sustained...

Cloud
...Phew... That's good to hear.

Received Key Item "Huge Materia"!


They may also come across the sunken Gelnika. Cloud and the others board it.

Cloud
This is the Shinra's Gelnika type airplane... I wonder why it went down here?

They enter a side room.

Cloud
What is this place...? Must be some kind of a Research Establishment because there's a Mako generator?

In the hallway, they encounter Reno and Rude.

Cloud
Turks!?

Rude
...again?

Reno
We just seem to keep running into each other lately!
There were weapons and Materia developed solely to destroy Sephiroth.

Rude
...but, it was attacked by Weapon and sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Reno
I can't give you what's here. We'll take out Sephiroth.
I guess this is our last meeting.

Rude
I won't let you get in our way.

Cloud and the others fight the Turks.

Reno
These guys are pretty tough.

He runs off.

Rude
..................

He runs off after Reno.

Cloud
So Shinra's new, secret weapon was on this Airship...

They enter the room beyond.

Cloud
This must be the Cargo Room...
This is terrible... It's all messed up...

Cloud and the others salvage what they can from the cargo room and return to the submarine.


If they continue exploring the ocean floor, it is possible to find the Key to Ancients before it becomes plot relevant.

Cloud
It looks like a key to somewhere...
It seems really old.

...analysis completed...
...exact date of origin cannot be determined...
...estimated to be several thousand years...

Cloud
Several thousand years... ...Ancients?

Received Key Item "Key to Ancients"!


Back on the Highwind...

Barret
Them Shinra guys think they're gonna fight Meteor with the Huge Materia?

Tifa
How are you feeling?
You ought to rest a bit... Don't push yourself.

Nanaki
Shinra only cares if things are good right now.
But, I plan to live for 500 years and won't stand for that type of thinking.

Cait Sith
Them Shinra's ar' all gathered at Cid's Rocket Town...
Yep... there ain't nuthin' I like more than lettin' out secrets.

Vincent
...how does it feel, Cloud? Living for yourself and not someone else?

Cid
You said there's somethin' goin' on at Rocket Town...?

Yuffie
Hmph!......
I wonder why anyone would ever make an airship like this......
Ugh...... ugh......

Learner Pilot (L9)
Wanna go?

Cloud
- Go
- Don't go
