Chapter 1-1: Primus Island
Scene 1-1-1-1: The Very Beginning
1
Materia
From memory comes great power - the power to protect entire worlds...
2
Materia
With this power and you, Mog, we can...we should be able to save this world.
3
Mog
You can count on me, kupo!
4
Mog
I shall lead our heroes to the Torsions' epicenter!
5
Mog
Together we will eradicate the threat and bring whoever is responsible for this madness to justice!
6
Materia
It will not be nearly so easy as you think.
7
Materia
The heroes you speak of are scattered across realms, each looking to fulfill their own destinies.
8
Mog
Don't you worry, kupo! I've got it covered!
9
Mog
I've already found four warriors willing to fight for our cause.
10
Materia
I see them now. The mighty Warrior of Light...
11
Materia
A young boy who harbors tremendous magical powers...
12
Materia
A man whose love for his family surpasses all...
13
Materia
And a young girl who has grown into herself during a time of war...
14
Mog
And that makes four, kupo!
15
Materia
Indeed. It seems you are more than equal to the task.
16
Materia
Time, however, is not on your side.
17
Materia
Even as we speak, the Torsions continue to spread and evolve at an unprecedented rate.
18
Mog
Which is precisely why I must leave soon, kupo! Before I go, though, I have one question. What of Master Spiritus?
19
Materia
What of him?
20
Mog
You know he is plotting something, kupo! Should we not move to stop him?
21
Mog
Or do you not trust me enough to tell me, kupo...?
22
Materia
He and I... We are as day and night?eternally divorced.
23
Materia
But he is none of your concern.
24
Mog
What if our methods of dealing with this issue were to collide with his plans?
25
Materia
I trust that your warriors will find a way to overcome any problems that may arise.
26
Materia
They will be guided by the light after all.
27
Mog
...Very well, kupo.
28
Mog
Now I really must get going. Already another Torsion has opened!
29
Materia
Go forth, and see that the world is not met with destruction.
30
Mog
Leave it to me, kupo!
31
Materia
These Torsions destroy even the cycle of battle.
32
Materia
I only hope that it is not too late.
33
Materia
If the world were to fall to ruin, it would mean I have failed as protector and god...
Scene 1-1-1-2: The Warrior of Light
1
Garland
Pathetic.
2
Warrior of Light
Nnh...!
3
Garland
With you out of the way, the light shall soon succumb to darkness! Then there will be no stopping me!
4
Garland
Now begone from this world!
5
Rem
Are you all right?
6
Warrior of Light
Where...am I?
7
Vivi
M-monsters! Over there!
Scene 1-1-1-3: A New Beginning
1
Mog
To think that you were able to take on such fearsome beasts and live to tell the tale... You're incredible, kupo!
2
Rem
Sir, are you all right? Earlier you seemed?
3
Warrior of Light
I'm fine. Thank you... Rem, was it?
4
Rem
Yes. And this is?
5
Vivi
Vivi. I am Vivi.
6
Vivi
Mog found and rescued me when I was first transported to this world.
7
Warrior of Light
So you, too, are warriors possessed of the light, brought here for some explicit purpose?
8
Mog
That's correct, kupo!
9
Mog
Lately, Torsions have been threatening the safety of our world. You're our last hope of finding and closing them, kupo!
10
Vivi
The monsters appeared from one of these Torsions, didn't they?
11
Rem
And we're the only ones who can seal them?
12
Rem
I feel that's far beyond our capabilities.
13
Mog
You can do it, kupo! Have a little faith.
14
Mog
There's a small Torsion nearby. Let's make our way there and seal it off, kupo.
15
Vivi
Okay!
16
Mog
I'll assist you in any way I can, kupo.
17
Warrior of Light
Very good. We shall be counting on your support, then.
Scene 1-1-1-4: The World as We Knew It
1
Mog
Look! We closed it, kupo!
2
Vivi
Now we don't need to worry about those monsters anymore.
3
Rem
No, Vivi. You forget that there's more than one Torsion.
4
Mog
Indeed, kupo! They've been cropping up all across the land.
5
Warrior of Light
And it is our duty to ensure that each and every one of them is closed.
6
Mog
You won't be alone! We'll find more people along the way who can help us, kupo!
7
???
Hey!
8
Warrior of Light
Is that man a friend of yours?
9
Vivi
Mister! We're over here!
10
???
Sorry 'bout that! Was busy inspecting the area.
11
Mog
Did you find anything, kupo?
12
Sazh
Yeah. There's a big Torsion up ahead. Bet that's where all the monsters are coming from.
13
Mog
Kupopo! We only just closed one and you're telling me there's another, bigger one nearby!?
14
Mog
Good grief, kupo... Well, I suppose it's nothing we can't handle together!
15
Rem
Once we eradicate all the Torsions, will we be able to return to our respective worlds?
16
Vivi
Yes, I'm certain of it! That's why we have to do our best to help them!
17
Mog
That's the spirit, kupo! Now that Sazh is back, we can go and close the next Torsion!
18
Warrior of Light
When this is all over...
19
Warrior of Light
I wonder if there will even be a world left for me to return to...
20
???
Filthy rats.
21
???
Little do they know, should all go according to plan, soon they'll be dancing to the beat of my drum.
22
???
Oh, what a spectacular show it will be!
Scene 1-1-1-5: An Unexpected Encounter
1
Sazh
Nasty bats nearly had us back there. Dodge every attack you throw at 'em.
2
Mog
That's why we need as many allies as possible, kupo!
3
Vivi
Look?there's someone over there!
4
???
Who's there!?
5
Mog
P-please, kupo! Lower your fists! We mean you no harm!
6
???
...You don't appear to be dangerous.
7
Sazh
We're not, but I wouldn't blame you if you turned and ran the other way. Just look at us?a talking moogle, a knight...
8
???
You, on the other hand, seem fairly...normal. What is this place?
9
Warrior of Light
While I cannot answer that with any certainty, what I can tell you is that none of us are natives of this land.
10
???
You mean...this isn't my world?
11
Sazh
No, it isn't. It's dangerous for a little lady like you to be wandering this place alone.
12
???
I'm not alone. My friends are here, too. We got separated earlier.
13
???
I've been searching for them, but I keep running into monsters.
14
Mog
Kupo... Up until recently, our land was a peaceful one.
15
Mog
It was only after the Torsions started to appear that the beasts began terrorizing us.
16
Mog
But I have hope that tranquility will soon be restored by the light, kupo!
17
Warrior of Light
Perhaps she too possesses the light.
18
???
...I do?
19
Mog
Yes! Yes, indeed, kupo!
20
Vivi
Maybe you can join us, miss?
21
???
Hm... Yes, maybe I should.
22
???
Perhaps then I'll finally be able to find my friends.
23
Tifa
I'm Tifa. I look forward to working with you.
24
Mog
Welcome aboard, kupo! You look like you can take out more than a few skeletons with those fists!
25
Mog
This is fantastic, kupo! Once again our numbers have grown and soon we'll be closing Torsions faster than ever before!
Scene 1-1-1-6: SOLDIER
1
Warrior of Light
Caution, friends. Someone is nearby.
2
Tifa
Wait! That's...
3
Tifa
Cloud!
4
Cloud
Tifa?
5
Tifa
Thank goodness it's you! I've been looking all over for you!
6
Mog
You know him, kupo?
7
Mog
Well, that makes my job easier! Hello, Mr. Spiky-Head!
8
Cloud
A moogle that can talk?
9
Tifa
Well, the world we're in right now is?
10
Warrior of Light
Now is not the time. It seems we have company.
11
Cloud
Stand back. I've got this.
12
Tifa
Cloud! You're not alone anymore! Let us help you.
13
Mog
Why won't anyone listen to me, kupo?
Scene 1-1-1-7: Together We Forge On
1
Warrior of Light
You were quick to defeat those enemies. I'm impressed.
2
Tifa
Cloud, what you're doing is reckless!
3
Tifa
You don't know anything about this world...so let's stick together, okay?
4
Mog
She's right, kupo! Besides, you possess the will of the light. We can save this world together.
5
Cloud
Not interested.
6
Mog
Kupo!?
7
Sazh
Looks like other worlds also have their fair share of strongheaded soldiers who take on way too much alone.
8
Sazh
Cloud, was it? What's your game plan?
9
Cloud
There's someone I need to settle things with.
10
Sazh
And do you have any idea where this someone is? Sure you don't need any help?
11
Sazh
This moogle's the only one who knows anything about this world. Besides, what've you gotta lose?
12
Cloud
Maybe you're right.
13
Cloud
All right, I'll go with you. Just don't get in my way.
14
Sazh
We won't. We're on your side.
15
Mog
Then it's settled! Great having you aboard, kupo!
16
Tifa
Looks like it's you and me again!
17
Mog
The more the merrier! You can never have too many friends, kupo!
Scene 1-1-1-8: The Lost Boy
1
???
*Sigh* Is there no end to this place?
2
???
Why me? Why do bad things always happen to me?
3
Sazh
Huh? Is that...!?
4
???
Wait. Is that an exit over there?
5
Mog
Do you know him, kupo?
6
Sazh
Do I know him? He's one of my buddies from my world!
7
Mog
Kupopo! I sensed a strong will of the light from him!
8
Sazh
But he's still just a kid, you know? I mean, he's older than Vivi...
9
Vivi
You're really worried about him, aren't you?
10
Sazh
Yeah, I have a son of my own, so I can't just... Sorry, this isn't the time to be getting sentimental.
11
Warrior of Light
Getting out of here alone is not a simple task. We must find him quickly.
12
Mog
Let's help him and get him to join us, kupo!
Scene 1-1-1-9: The Light of Hope
1
Sazh
Hope!
2
Hope
Sazh!
3
Hope
Where are we? And who are they? And why are they?
4
Sazh
Relax, relax. They may look a little different, but they're on our side.
5
Mog
Your name's Hope, kupo?
6
Hope
Did that moogle just talk? This is some kind of ultra-realistic toy...right?
7
Mog
I'm not a toy, kupo! More importantly, I have something I need to tell you!
8
Mog
...And that's the situation we're in right now, kupo.
9
Warrior of Light
And you, Hope, also possess the will of the light. You are one of us.
10
Hope
The will of the light? M-me? Are you sure?
11
Mog
I'm positive, kupo! Trust me.
12
Sazh
At any rate, we gotta do something about this world if we ever plan on going back to our own.
13
Sazh
So come with us. It's safer that way, you know?
14
Sazh
Besides, you'd be doing us a favor! We could use your skills.
15
Hope
All right, I'm in.
16
Hope
I'll do what I can to help.
Scene 1-1-1-10: The Cultured Conjurer
1
Mog
Hello, kupo! What are you doing?
2
???
...A moogle? Your kind do not live in the neighboring regions, do they?
3
Mog
No. Why, kupo?
4
???
Good.
5
???
This forest's aether is corrupted. I can only hope that the taint has not spread much further beyond this area.
6
Mog
Corrupted aether...? Oh, because of the Torsions! That's where the dark energy is spilling from. We're here to close them!
7
???
Torsions?
8
Mog
Yes, they serve as an interdimensional portal to our world. That's where the dark energy and scary monsters are coming from, kupo.
9
???
That would explain the sinister presence I felt earlier.
10
Mog
The will of the light radiates strongly from you. Will you help us, kupo?
11
???
Hm... Working with a group would certainly facilitate my investigation.
12
Mog
Hooray, ku?!
13
???
I am afraid, however, that I must decline. There is another matter I must attend to first.
14
Mog
What if we can help you? Would you join us then?
15
???
Perhaps. But before we discuss this any further, I ask that you draw your swords.
16
???
It seems we've been joined by a few uninvited guests.
Scene 1-1-1-11: The Search Continues
1
Mog
A-are they gone, kupo?
2
???
I believe so. I can no longer feel their presence.
3
Mog
Good! So what do you say? Will you join us, kupo?
4
???
Having witnessed your incredible strength first-hand, I would be honored to call you allies.
5
???
Please allow me to properly introduce myself. I am Y'shtola.
6
Y'shtola
I am well versed in the art of Conjury, and believe my talents will serve you well.
7
Mog
How exciting, kupo! Another friend possessed of the light has agreed to lend a hand to our cause!
8
Y'shtola
I take it that having this light is essential to one's ability to close Torsions?
9
Mog
That's right, kupo! ...But I don't know how it works...
10
Y'shtola
Fascinating... Perhaps there is more to this world than meets the eye.
Scene 1-1-1-12: Darkness Descends
1
Rem
I have a bad feeling about this. The monsters in this area are acting very strangely.
2
Mog
That means there's a Torsion nearby, kupo!
3
Warrior of Light
Yes. I can feel it...and something else.
4
Warrior of Light
Everyone, be on your guard. There is something far more malevolent than mere monsters lurking about.
5
Vivi
M-more malevolent than monsters!? I don't like the sound of that...
6
Vivi
Wait! Please don't leave me behind!
7
???
Ah... There you are.
8
???
*Sigh*
9
???
Why must you insist on always ruining my fun?
Scene 1-1-1-13: The World Beyond
1
Cloud
Is that it?
2
Sazh
And more importantly did getting rid of it solve our monster problem?
3
Tifa
I think so. Their numbers seem to have diminished at the very least.
4
Y'shtola
You must remember, however, that this is not the only Torsion that plagues this world.
5
Mog
Indeed, kupo! Our job is far from over.
6
Mog
But if we continue working together I'm sure we'll accomplish our goal in no time!
7
Tifa
Then let's keep going.
8
Mog
Yes, kupo! Our next destination: the lands beyond the northern sea!
9
Mog
And before you ask how we're going to get there, we'll be going by airship, kupo!
10
Sazh
Airship? Excellent. That's just my style.
11
Cloud
Are you a pilot or something?
12
Hope
Only the best! How could you tell?
13
Cloud
I have a friend a lot like him.
14
Sazh
Let's go! I can't wait to see how this baby flies!
Chapter 1-2: Ruins of Deserta
Scene 1-2-1-1: The Will of the Light
1
Materia
I see you were successful in closing the Torsion and averting disaster. Thank you.
2
Mog
Of course, kupo! It's my duty after all!
3
Mog
And not to toot my own horn, but I've also managed to find four new warriors!
4
Materia
Indeed. And each and every one of them has demonstrated enormous promise.
5
Materia
I fear, however, that the darkness continues to grow stronger.
6
Mog
Wh-what do you mean, kupo?
7
Materia
Whoever is responsible has been attempting to bend the Torsions to their own will.
8
Mog
That sounds very dangerous, kupo! We must proceed with the utmost caution then!
9
Materia
Yes. And remember, Mog, among the warriors you will encounter is one who knows the darkness.
10
Materia
When all is lost, you best turn to him for guidance.
11
Mog
Yes, kupo!
Scene 1-2-1-2: Unfamiliar Terrain
1
Sazh
We're here!
2
Vivi
That was amazing! You really are a great pilot, Mister!
3
Sazh
It's easy once you know the basics. Shame we couldn't fly in any closer, though.
4
Mog
Sadly, there aren't any areas we can safely land the airship beyond this point, kupo.
5
Cloud
Whatever. We can walk from here. If anything gets in our way, I'll put it down.
6
Tifa
And who knows? Maybe we'll make some new friends along the way.
7
Warrior of Light
Where exactly do we need to go?
8
Mog
North, kupo! To where the ancient ruins are.
9
Tifa
Ruins? I guess your world isn't that much different from ours.
Scene 1-2-1-3: ...And So We Meet Again
1
???
Zidane? What are you doing here? I don't have time to be entertaining guests.
2
Zidane
I don't need you to entertain me.
3
Zidane
You've been gathering an army of beasts. What do you intend to do with them, Kuja!?
4
Kuja
You of all people should understand! If you've come all this way to mock me?
5
Zidane
Mock you? I'm here to?
6
Vivi
Oh! That's him, everyone?the friend I was telling you about! And he's with that man...
7
Zidane
Vivi!?
8
Kuja
Bearers of light... How inconvenient.
9
Warrior of Light
That man?he just opened a Torsion!
10
Zidane
No! I can't believe he got away!
11
Vivi
I-I'm sorry... It's all my fault.
12
Zidane
Don't worry about it, Vivi. I'm just glad you're safe. ...That said, who are these pretty ladies?
13
Tifa
I'm Tifa. I take it you're Vivi's friend?
14
Vivi
Yes! His name is Zidane. He's really, really strong and reliable!
15
Zidane
Aw, Vivi?stop it! You're making me blush. And you might be...?
16
Rem
I'm Rem. It seems we come from very different places.
17
Mog
Everyone here is blessed with the light?the power to close Torsions, kupo!
18
Zidane
Torsions...? Is that what you call the portals Kuja uses to let monsters in and out?
19
Vivi
Yes, and that's why this world is in big trouble.
20
Mog
Not just this world, kupo! If the Torsions continue to spread, they'll eventually reach your home, too!
21
Zidane
So that's what he's been up to!
22
Mog
Zidane, you also have the gift of light! Will you help us, kupo?
23
Zidane
I don't see why not.
24
Mog
Hooray, kupo! Once again, our number's grown!
25
Zidane
That's right. If you need someone agile, I'm your guy!
26
Warrior of Light
You would be the first among us capable of such feats. We would be glad to have you in our ranks.
Scene 1-2-1-4: The Dark Knight
1
???
Where am I?
2
Y'shtola
A man has stepped through the Torsion!
3
Sazh
Sweet mercy! I hope he's friendly.
4
Sazh
All these armored-up soldiers look the same to me.
5
???
Identify yourselves!
6
Sazh
Your mother not teach you any manners? You first.
7
Cecil
My apologies. I am Cecil, knight of the Kingdom of Baron. When I awoke, I found myself in this foreign land.
8
Sazh
Guess you really shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
9
Mog
I can sense the will of the light, kupo!
10
Warrior of Light
It appears that fate has guided him to us.
11
Cecil
The will of the light? Fate? What does any of that mean?
12
Mog
The portal you just came through is a dimensional Torsion. They're what's destroying our world.
13
Mog
We're on a journey to seal them, kupo.
14
Mog
You share that destiny with us?the will of the light, kupo!
15
Mog
You should join us, kupo!
16
Cecil
You would be better off without me.
17
Y'shtola
I don't blame you for having doubt, but we need your help.
18
Warrior of Light
You possess cosmic potential as a warrior?a gift which must be used for good.
19
Cecil
I've walked the path of darkness for too long.
20
Cecil
The light you speak of has faded to but a mere shadow of the past.
21
Mog
You just need to believe in yourself, kupo!
22
Cecil
Forgive me...
Scene 1-2-1-5: Light That Penetrates Darkness
1
Cecil
Is everyone all right!?
2
Warrior of Light
It seems we owe you a debt of gratitude.
3
Cecil
I could scarce stand by and simply watch as the monsters attacked you.
4
Mog
Thanks for watching out for us, kupo!
5
Y'shtola
Indeed. I fear to think what would have happened had you not been here.
6
Sazh
You made it all this way alone!? Where'd that self-doubt from earlier go?
7
Cecil
I'm glad I could be of some help. Well, I wish you all the best on your journey.
8
Mog
Wait, kupo!
9
Mog
Your power is an important piece to our puzzle. Our journey wouldn't be complete without you, kupo.
10
Cecil
I appreciate the offer, but I've walked the path of darkness for too long.
11
Warrior of Light
Darkness is nothing to fear. For there is no darkness without light.
12
Cecil
Nothing to fear?
13
Sazh
Don't know anything about all this darkness mumbo jumbo, but you helped us out of a jam. That makes you a good guy in my book.
14
Warrior of Light
It is as Sazh says. Your sword may be forged of darkness, but the light resides in your heart.
15
Cecil
Do you truly believe I can fight alongside you?
16
Cloud
That's up to you. What do you want to do?
17
Cecil
You are right. If this Dark Sword can be used for good...
18
Cecil
Then I shall accompany you on your journey to save the world!
19
Mog
Hooray, kupo!
20
Cecil
There is no darkness without light...
21
Cecil
Maybe my sword will bear the light one day as well.
Scene 1-2-1-6: Exploring the Ruins of Deserta
1
Sazh
The Torsion's on the other side of these ruins right?
2
Mog
Yes. We need to stay vigilant, kupo! The closer we are, the stronger the monsters!
3
Rem
Be careful, everyone. There's no telling what's out there.
4
Zidane
Aw, Rem?you're so sweet. Just my kind of girl.
5
Rem
Please, Zidane. Now's not the time for jokes.
6
Zidane
Who's joking?
7
Sazh
Quit while you're ahead, kid.
8
Y'shtola
That man you were with earlier?what is your relationship with him?
9
Zidane
It's a long story. Simply put, he's the one responsible for wars that've ravaged Gaia?the world where I'm from.
10
Sazh
And I guess laying waste to his own planet wasn't enough?
11
Zidane
I have no idea what his motives for coming here are, but I intend to find out.
Scene 1-2-1-7: A Familiar Place
1
Zidane
This may sound weird but...
2
Zidane
I feel like I know these ruins.
3
Hope
Yeah... They're familiar somehow.
4
Cloud
Aren't the two of you from different planets?
5
Sazh
Hope and I are from Cocoon. We had something of a...penchant for ending up at ruins.
6
Sazh
That said, these ruins don't look like any we've been to, but they do feel familiar.
7
Zidane
Maybe Mog knows something.
Scene 1-2-1-8: Creation
1
Zidane
Mog, you told us these were ancient ruins.
2
Zidane
That means this world must have had a civilization that once lived here.
3
Mog
Actually, no, kupo!
4
Cloud
What do you mean?
5
Mog
You see, our world was created by the gods in the image of other planets.
6
Mog
Each aspect of this place was inspired by your homes, kupo.
7
Mog
That's probably why you recognize certain areas.
8
Sazh
So the reason why we haven't met any natives of this planet...
9
Sazh
Is because this place is something of an artificial creation?
10
Mog
Yes, kupo! And that's why it's important for us to stop this world from becoming corrupted.
11
Mog
Otherwise, it'll spread to all the other worlds, kupo!
12
Zidane
We have to do what we can.
Scene 1-2-1-9: Explorers of the Lost World
1
???
Well, then. It looks like my work here is done.
2
???
Who goes there!?
3
Warrior of Light
Please lower your weapons. We have no intention to fight you.
4
???
Very well. Although...
5
???
I would have loved to test my own skill at combat against yours. Perhaps another time.
6
Mog
What brings you here, kupo?
7
???
A moogle!? If you must know, I was searching the area for living creatures...and it looks like I found some.
8
Sazh
He doesn't live here, if that's what you're thinking. We've only come to close the Torsions.
9
???
So this land is completely devoid of life? How odd...
10
???
You see, I've been attempting to learn more about what has caused the sudden influx of beasts in this region.
11
???
The only real clue I've stumbled across in my investigations was a mysterious coil of energy.
12
???
...Is this perhaps the Torsion to which you refer?
13
Sazh
That'd be it. Our goal is the same, then.
14
???
Our goals are the same? So these Torsions must be connected to the monsters!
15
???
Interesting. Thank you for your help!
16
Mog
W-wait! ...She's gone. What a shame, kupo. She had the light, too.
17
Y'shtola
You appear perplexed. What's wrong?
18
Sazh
We met a girl who came as quickly as she left. Didn't even have time to recruit her.
19
Y'shtola
If, as you say, our goals are the same, you'll get your chance?when the crystal's light shines brightest.
Scene 1-2-1-10: Reunion
1
???
Hyah! Never fear! I've come to save?
2
???
Aw, don't tell me the fun is already over.
3
Warrior of Light
We only just finished.
4
Y'shtola
Yda?
5
Yda
Y'shtola!? What are you doing here!?
6
Y'shtola
I could ask you the same. So you're the girl everyone was talking about earlier... Speaking of which, where are the others?
7
Yda
I couldn't tell you.
8
Y'shtola
Gods... Well, at least you're here.
9
Sazh
You guys know each other?
10
Yda
Of course! In fact, she's one of the very people I've been searching for!
11
Yda
I was following the Torsions when I spotted you. I never expected Y'shtola to be here.
12
Sazh
You've been following the Torsions?
13
Yda
That's right. I noticed the monsters coming from them and figured by pursuing them, I'd find my friends sooner or later.
14
Sazh
A woman of action. I like it!
15
Mog
How goes the search, kupo?
16
Yda
Good, thanks largely to you.
17
Yda
I'm also thinking to investigate another area. What would you say to accompanying me?
18
Y'shtola
Chance has brought us together. It would be unwise to defy it, would it not?
19
Mog
I agree, kupo! Let's go!
20
Yda
Excellent! I'll meet you guys there!
21
Sazh
Make that "non-stop action." Well, I guess we better get going before we lose sight of her.
Scene 1-2-1-11: To the Lands Beyond
1
Yda
I think that about takes care of this area.
2
Yda
Thank you. I couldn't have done it without your help!
3
Y'shtola
What do you propose we do next, Yda?
4
Yda
I must go and find the others. I'll leave things here to you.
5
Y'shtola
Wait! It's better if we all go together.
6
Yda
Hm?
7
Y'shtola
You must see it too. This place?it's nothing like Eorzea. If we part ways here, there is no telling when?or if?we will be reunited.
8
Y'shtola
I understand your concern for the others, but we mustn't let hate cloud our judgement.
9
Yda
You're right.
10
Yda
Besides, the Scions are a tough bunch! I'm sure they're fine.
11
Yda
Well, then! What are you guys waiting for? Let's go!
12
Y'shtola
While a little reckless at times, Yda is an old friend and a good ally.
13
Y'shtola
As Scions of the Seventh Dawn, we've fought countless battles together, and I can vouch for her prowess on the battlefield.
14
Y'shtola
I'm certain she will prove to be a source of great strength in the journey ahead.
15
Yda
Reckless? You almost make it sound like I'm a liability!
16
Mog
We're very happy to have you, kupo! We need all the help we can get!
17
Yda
I'm glad to hear it! You won't regret it!
Scene 1-2-1-12: The Hunt for Kuja
1
Zidane
So this is a Torsion...
2
Warrior of Light
You seem troubled.
3
Zidane
Kuja... He warped into the space right in front of me with one of these.
4
Cloud
He did? But he's not a monster, is he?
5
Mog
It's scary to think he can create them so easily, kupo! Torsions rip apart the planes of time and space and randomly put them back together.
6
Zidane
...Shortly after, he opened another one and disappeared into it...
7
Sazh
You've gotta be kidding. Don't tell me you're actually considering?
8
Zidane
We know next to nothing about these Torsions. Maybe the only way to find out more is to enter one.
9
Warrior of Light
The idea has merit.
10
Sazh
And what if we're walking into a trap?
11
Y'shtola
The chance to gain some answers outweighs that potential risk.
12
Zidane
I don't know about you guys, but I'm going in there.
13
Mog
I don't think you should, kupo, but I won't stop you...
14
Zidane
I've made up my mind. Coming?
15
Sazh
*Sigh* Kids these days...
16
Y'shtola
I take it you're planning on staying behind?
17
Sazh
Do I even have a choice?
18
Warrior of Light
So this is how the Torsion looks from the inside...
19
Vivi
The atmosphere is so much heavier in here... I don't like it.
20
Rem
Yes... It almost feels like we're on a battlefield.
21
Mog
What you're feeling is darkness, kupo. We're surrounded by it in here.
22
Zidane
Kuja's gotta be around here somewhere!
23
Vivi
Look! Over there!
24
Kuja
It's not enough...not nearly enough.
25
Kuja
To change the course of fate, one must first reshape the cogs on which the world is run.
26
Zidane
Kuja! What are you doing!?
27
Kuja
I knew you would come, Zidane.
28
Kuja
After all, you are but puppets to those foolish beings you call gods?your lives but scripts written by their hand...
29
Warrior of Light
Gods? Foolish!? How dare you!
30
Kuja
Ah, the Warrior of Light?the man from which this narrative unfolds...
31
Kuja
Even you, in all your might, shall fail to stand against me.
32
Kuja
Get them, my darlings!
33
Vivi
Something's coming!
Scene 1-2-1-13: An Enemy Unknown
1
???
...Absolute...power...
2
Warrior of Light
Those things?they appear to have assumed our forms.
3
Sazh
Or were created by Kuja to look like us.
4
Vivi
Back on our world, he often created soldiers to do his bidding.
5
Zidane
The thing is, even if he did make them, how did he know what all of us looked like?
6
Cloud
And also why go through all that trouble?
7
Warrior of Light
...There is always the possibility that the specters were in no way related to Kuja.
8
Mog
Whatever the case, we must be very careful, kupo! Whoever is behind this is extremely dangerous!
9
Mog
We also need to find the rest of these monsters and destroy them before they cause any problems!
10
Zidane
Don't worry. We'll get rid of them.
11
Cloud
Yeah. We need to stop them before they reach our home.
12
Mog
Yes, kupo! I'm counting on you!
Scene 1-2-1-14: 2-12 Of Space and Time Pt. 4
1
Manikin
G...od...
2
Mog
They look like us, but I don't sense the will of the light.
3
Mog
Everyone, get ready!
Scene 1-2-1-15: An Escape Route
1
Hope
Look! I bet this will take us back!
2
Zidane
If there's a way in, there's gotta be a way out, huh?
3
Y'shtola
But it might not lead back to the same world we came from.
4
Vivi
At least Kuja seems to be gone.
5
Warrior of Light
Shall we continue forward?
6
Hope
But wait. Kuja knows how to manipulate Torsions and move between them.
7
Hope
How do we know he didn't create this one?
8
Zidane
There's only one way to find out.
9
Vivi
Kuja, what are you planning?
10
Hope
Are you okay?
11
Vivi
Yes. I'm just worried. He hurt a lot of my friends back home.
12
Hope
Don't worry, Vivi. It's not going to happen again?because you won't let it.
13
Hope
Just remember to stand strong and keep going no matter what happens.
14
Vivi
I will. Thank you, Mister!
15
Hope
...Mister?
16
Y'shtola
Are the two of you coming?
17
Hope
We'll be right there! Come on, Vivi!
18
Vivi
Right behind you!
Scene 1-2-1-16: The Hume Boy
1
???
Hey! That your airship?
2
Sazh
Who's asking?
3
Vaan
Oh, me? I'm Vaan. And that's a really cool airship!
4
Sazh
Finally, someone who understands! And it's not just for show. It's fast, safe, and comes with the best pilot you've ever met.
5
Vaan
Heh-heh, I know a good airship when I see one. So it's yours, huh?
6
Mog
Since when did you become the owner!? I got us that ship, kupo!
7
Vaan
Oh yeah! I almost forgot to ask.
8
Vaan
Where am I?
9
Mog
You're just now wondering that, kupo?
10
Vaan
What's the big deal? People get lost all the time when they're hunting.
11
Vaan
I can't be the first. So, can you take me home in that airship of yours?
12
Mog
I'm afraid it can't take you back to your world, kupo.
13
Vaan
My...world? What are you talking about?
14
Mog
Dimensional Torsions have been appearing, connecting this world to others, kupo.
15
Sazh
We all came from another world. Including you, apparently.
16
Vaan
We're not in Ivalice? I...I don't understand.
17
Sazh
Hoo-boy! Looks like we've got company.
18
Sazh
Be right back with you in a second, kid.
Scene 1-2-1-17: A Love of Airships
1
Vaan
What was that all about? That monster looked just like me.
2
Tifa
We call them manikins. We've already run into others that look like our friends as well.
3
Mog
It's true, kupo. The world's being invaded by monsters.
4
Mog
So we're on a journey to find new friends with the will of the light to stop them.
5
Mog
And I can sense the light in you, kupo!
6
Vaan
I get it. You're on a mission.
7
Vaan
But wouldn't it be easier to find and stop whoever's making these, uh, Torsions?
8
Mog
We still don't really know who or what that is, kupo.
9
Tifa
But we do know that monsters are using the Torsions to spread destruction throughout this world.
10
Mog
Which is why we've been defeating the monsters to seal the Torsions, kupo.
11
Vaan
Then let me come with you. I can't just look the other way when someone's in need of help.
12
Tifa
Wonderful! We can use all the help we can get.
13
Sazh
All right, all right, enough chitchat. Hey kid, wanna peek at the engine?
14
Vaan
Seriously!?
15
Mog
I hope he knows how important our mission is, kupo.
Scene 1-2-1-18: Vivi and Zidane
1
Zidane
It looks like we're back at the ruins. May the hunt for Kuja begin!
2
Zidane
Everything okay? You seemed lost in thought back there.
3
Vivi
I'm fine. Let's just keep going.
4
Zidane
...If you say so. You've done great so far, you know.
5
Vivi
For that I have you and everyone else to thank. I never could have done anything on my own.
6
Vivi
Even with the light, I don't think I can save the world...
7
Vivi
I'm not strong like any of you.
8
Zidane
Trust me, you're just as strong as any of us.
9
Zidane
You have a reason to fight and so long as you keep reminding yourself of it, you'll find you have the power to save any world.
10
Vivi
Thanks, Zidane. You always know what to say.
11
Zidane
I've been thinking, if the reason we can close Torsions is because of the light...
12
Zidane
How does Kuja do it?
13
Vivi
I don't know. He shouldn't have the light. He's done a lot of bad things.
14
Zidane
Yeah...
15
Zidane
But it's no use talking about it. For now, we just need to focus on finding him.
Scene 1-2-1-19: A Reason to Live
1
Rem
I come from a world called Orience.
2
Rem
There, when you die, you also cease to exist in people's memories.
3
Vivi
And there's no way you can transfer your life's memories to others?
4
Vivi
That's terrible. What's the point of even living if you're going to be forgotten?
5
Rem
It was done so that those left behind wouldn't have to suffer. It's the Crystal's will.
6
Rem
That said, we fear death just the same as any of you.
7
Hope
And so Kuja attempts to defy fate.
8
Hope
In our world, each of us is given a life's purpose?a destiny, if you will?by cosmic beings similar to those you call gods.
9
Vivi
Me and Zidane and Kuja are just like you...
10
Hope
Have you ever attempted to defy your fate?
11
Vivi
Have you, Mister?
12
Hope
My friends and I...we fought it once.
13
Rem
...Defying fate, huh?
14
Vivi
Just like Kuja. Only he's done a lot of wrong in his life.
15
Rem
If Torsions distort reality, that means there's a chance we can use them to change the fate of our worlds.
16
Vivi
B-but what about all the monsters that come out of them?
17
Hope
We also still don't know the true nature of these Torsions. I think we should forget about this and put our trust in Mog for now.
Scene 1-2-1-20: Kuja's Plan
1
Rem
Vivi, Zidane?that man, Kuja, he's from your world right?
2
Zidane
Gaia, yeah. That's where we're from, though I can't necessarily say the same for him...
3
Hope
And you have absolutely no idea what he could be after?
4
Vivi
I think he's...afraid of dying...
5
Vivi
Kuja likely thinks that by creating Torsions and warping reality, he can defy fate.
6
Rem
So he's motivated by a fear of death?
7
Hope
And he fights to change his destiny...
8
Zidane
It doesn't matter what his reasons are. The fact remains that he hurts people to get what he wants. He must be stopped.
9
Zidane
What he's doing, if left unchecked, will affect all our worlds.
10
Zidane
Besides, it's not our sympathy he's after.
Scene 1-2-1-21: Love Is in the Air
1
Zidane
Tifa, you like plays, don't you? You ought to come watch me perform sometime.
2
Zidane
I'm pretty talented. I even got the princess to cry once, and trust me, she's practically made of ice.
3
Tifa
Zidane, do you even understand the gravity of our situation? Now's really not the time.
4
Zidane
Aw, come on?lighten up. We've still got a long trip ahead of us.
5
Zidane
So, Rem, I hear we're the same age. Do you have anyone you?you know?like?
6
Rem
Hm... Not like, per se, but there is someone I want to protect.
7
Zidane
Ah... Guess I don't stand a chance here.
8
Y'shtola
Hm?
9
Zidane
...Nothing.
10
Tifa
Zidane, you're a lot funnier than I ever gave you credit for.
11
Zidane
Of course I'm funny. What use would I be if I couldn't keep beautiful ladies like you entertain?
Scene 1-2-1-22: Well Roared
1
Zidane
Huh? Did you hear that?
2
Warrior of Light
We must be close.
3
Cloud
Look.
4
Kuja
More! ...More!!! Rip it apart, dismantle it?disfigure this world beyond recognition!
5
Zidane
What do you think you're doing!?
6
Warrior of Light
He appears to be giving power to the Torsions.
7
Mog
He can't get away with it, kupo!
8
Kuja
Fools! Spare me the sermon! You know nothing!
9
Kuja
You, especially, tiny rat! You blindly worship these so-called gods?
10
Mog
I won't let you speak of them that way! This is where it ends, kupo!
11
Kuja
Threaten me all you want, but it will not change what's to come.
12
Zidane
What are you talking about!?
13
Kuja
My role here is finished. I am bowing out. Come, my dragons! It is your time to take center stage!
Scene 1-2-1-23: 2-14 Dragon of Folklore
1
Mog
D-d-dragon! Kupooo!
2
Mog
Watch out for the Red Dragon's ability Megaflash! If it uses Charge, do whatever it takes to stop him!
3
Mog
I don't wanna be barbeque, kupo!
Scene 1-2-1-24: 2-15 Scarred Sanctuary
1
Zidane
Kuja! I've got you now!
2
Kuja
This light... It's riveting.
Scene 1-2-1-25: The Mystery Deepens
1
Zidane
Stop with this nonsense! Tell us what you know!
2
Kuja
To divulge such knowledge to someone as worthless as you is but a waste of my breath.
3
Kuja
Farewell, Zidane.
4
Mog
He escaped again, and we still don't have answers, but our mission remains the same, kupo!
5
Mog
Hooray! One more Torsion gone, kupo!
6
Yda
So this is your?rather our?mission.
7
Vaan
So this area is now safe from monsters, right?
8
Warrior of Light
Aye. But that is not to say we can let our guard down. The threat we face might be far greater than we anticipated.
9
Zidane
It's like he's trying to use the Torsions to do something else...something more.
10
Hope
So the Torsions are what is corrupting this world...
11
Mog
And that's why we need to close them, kupo!
12
Mog
If we don't, it'll begin spreading to your worlds!
13
Warrior of Light
What can you tell us of the Torsions' origins?
14
Mog
I'm not sure... Much of this world still remains a mystery to me, kupo!
15
Mog
I was hoping we'd find the answer to that as we went along...
16
Zidane
Well, standing around interrogating Mog isn't going to get us anywhere. We need to continue our search.
17
Sazh
Let's head on back to the airship!
Chapter 1-3: Lost Kingdom of Thronus
Scene 1-3-1-1: Decay Takes Hold
1
Materia
Kuja, what so spurs you to change the tides of destiny?
2
Materia
Have you been swayed by the darkness or is there something more to this that I fail to understand...?
3
Mog
Our allies continue to grow, kupo!
4
Materia
I have noticed.
5
Materia
You have done well, Mog. The greater our numbers the sooner this war will end.
6
Mog
Yes, kupo!
7
Materia
I only hope you will continue to be so forthright in your efforts.
8
Mog
Is something on your mind? You seem worried, kupo.
9
Materia
...Kuja has been manipulating the Torsions.
10
Materia
I have yet to determine if his handiwork will be the very thing to damn us or save us.
11
Mog
Kupopo! It doesn't matter who he is. If he's creating Torsions, then he's the enemy, kupo!
12
Mog
He must be struck down at all costs, kupo!
13
Materia
Indeed. And I shall rely on you to do just that, my friend.
Scene 1-3-1-2: Adventures on the Coastline
1
Sazh
We made it!
2
Mog
Just up ahead is the ancient Kingdom of Thronus, kupo!
3
Cecil
That is where the next Torsion is located, correct?
4
Mog
Yes, kupo! *Shiver* I can feel the darkness from here.
5
Sazh
Sorry, wish we could've flown in a bit closer.
6
Cecil
There is no need for apologies. We understand that it is near impossible to land the airship on certain terrain.
7
Zidane
I'm not complaining! This gives me a chance to go on romantic strolls along the beach with some beautiful ladies!
8
Tifa
You really think a lot of yourself, don't you?
Scene 1-3-1-3: Materia Hunter
1
???
Yoink!
2
Tifa
Wait... Yuffie!?
3
Zidane
Hey, what happened to the jewel on your glove?
4
Yuffie
Wow, I've never seen a device like this before. And what's this, an ancient dagger? Not bad. Not bad at all.
5
Tifa
What do you think you're doing!? Give that back!
6
Yuffie
Oh, hey, Tifa! Long time no see.
7
Tifa
"Long time no see"? Do you even understand the situation you're in right now!?
8
Yuffie
Don't know, don't care. Want your stuff back? Then ya gotta catch me!
9
Tifa
All right, you asked for it.
10
Yuffie
Uh-oh... Tifa's serious.
11
Yuffie
There's only one thing to do at a time like this... Run away!
12
Zidane
Don't tell me that thief's a friend of yours?
13
Tifa
I'm afraid so. I had no idea she was here though.
14
Zidane
The nerve of that girl! She took my favorite dagger.
15
Hope
She, uh...stole my device, too. It's not something I can use in this world, but...
16
Tifa
Ugh, she's always like this! Come on, we're going after her!
Scene 1-3-1-4: The Chase
1
Zidane
Gotcha!
2
Yuffie
Uh-oh!
3
Cloud
It's over.
4
Yuffie
Cloud! You're here too!?
5
Cloud
Just give back what you stole.
6
Yuffie
Not in a million years! Let me go!
7
Y'shtola
You best surrender now.
8
Yuffie
Hmph. I wouldn't be so sure about that. Never underestimate a ninja.
9
Yuffie
Hah!
10
Cloud
Guess I should've seen that coming.
11
Yuffie
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk! You can never let your guard down around me!
12
Yuffie
Oh, and check out what the cat-girl gave me.
13
Y'shtola
My staff!?
14
Yuffie
Look at all these goodies! I've never seen anythin' like 'em.
15
Yuffie
I bet I can sell this one for a hefty price!
16
Sazh
Yeah, you'd make a small fortune selling items from other worlds.
17
Zidane
But you're much too cute for petty thievery. If you want something to steal, you can have my heart any day.
18
Sazh
This ain't the time for that!
19
Yuffie
Heh, now's my chance! Later!
20
Sazh
See what you did? Now she's gone!
Scene 1-3-1-5: Recruiting Yuffie
1
Tifa
Give it up, Yuffie. We've got you now.
2
Sazh
You've taken this prank too far.
3
Vivi
Excuse me... Could I please have my stuff back?
4
Yuffie
*Sigh* All right, all right. You win.
5
Yuffie
My beautiful treasures...
6
Tifa
They're not yours!
7
Mog
Kupo! I've never seen anyone run so fast! We sure could use someone like you, kupo!
8
Sazh
This little thief? You gotta be kidding.
9
Tifa
Yuffie's actually a close friend of mine back in our world. She...just has some sticky fingers.
10
Sazh
If you say so.
11
Yuffie
Hm, so they really need me.
12
Tifa
All right, then. Shall we get going?
13
Mog
Hooray for new friends, kupo!
14
Yuffie
I mean, they're practically begging me to join them...
15
Yuffie
All right, you've got it! I'll go with you!
16
Yuffie
H-huh?
17
Yuffie
Hey! Didn't you hear me!? The conqueror of evil, Yuffie Kisaragi, just said she'll join you!
18
Yuffie
Oh, well. Who cares? This is gonna be great!
19
Yuffie
Now I'll be just seconds away from those otherworldly treasures.
20
Yuffie
And soon they'll be all mine for the taking!
Scene 1-3-1-6: The Mysterious Trio
1
???
What's this? A cat-girl and living armor? ...And to think I got my hopes up for a moment.
2
Y'shtola
...Cat-girl? I would appreciate you not refer to me as such. I am a member of a proud race known as Miqo'te.
3
???
Who do you think you are, taking that lofty tone with me!?
4
???
Maybe we should ask 'em where we are, ya know?
5
???
AGREED.
6
Seifer
As if they have anything worthwhile to say.
7
Seifer
If there's anything I despise, it's mindless sheep!
8
Warrior of Light
Mindless sheep!?
9
Mog
How rude, kupo!
10
Cloud
Stop with whatever it is you're trying to do.
11
Seifer
I don't like the look of you.
12
Seifer
You remind me too much of...someone I know.
13
Cloud
Are we going to stand here and take this?
14
Mog
Please be on your way, kupo! If you continue to harass us, I'll have no choice but to report you to Mistress Materia!
15
Mog
Well, kupo?
16
Raijin
What? I wasn't listening, ya know?
17
Seifer
Quiet, Raijin. Can't you see they're trying to pick a fight with us?
18
Y'shtola
Far from it. You are the one intent on starting a fight with us.
19
Seifer
I can't stand people like you. Talking down to others as if you know better!
20
Warrior of Light
Nothing we say will get through to him.
21
Mog
Kupopo! Then we have no choice but to open his ears to reason!
Scene 1-3-1-7: 3-5 Where the Waves Fall Pt. 5
1
Seifer
Heh. These weaklings aren't even worth my time. Raijin, Fujin, take care of them.
2
Raijin
You better be ready, ya know!
3
Fujin
READY!
Scene 1-3-1-8: 3-5 Where the Waves Fall Pt. 5 II
1
Seifer
What's the matter with you guys?
2
Seifer
Whatever. I don't need help taking out the trash.
Scene 1-3-1-9: Friend or Foe
1
Cecil
Are you finally ready to talk? If so, let us begin with basic introductions.
2
Raijin
There's a lot we wanna say, ya know?
3
Seifer
Stop it! Stop engaging them! They're?
4
Fujin
WITHDRAW.
5
Raijin
Sorry?the Disciplinary Committee has spoken. My hands are tied now, ya know?
6
Raijin
We'll be back!
7
Vivi
Why did that man want to fight us? He didn't seem to be a bad person...
8
Cecil
Perhaps he was feeling overwhelmed and turned to anger.
9
Mog
I understand, kupo. But it doesn't excuse his actions!
10
Mog
That said, we can't get distracted. We have a Torsion to close, kupo!
11
Cecil
We are well aware of the fact.
12
Vivi
Um, Mr. Cecil?do you think there's a chance they'll become our allies, just like you did?
13
Cecil
It is not out of the question. They appeared to be new to this world.
14
Cecil
If we run into them again, perhaps we can attempt to recruit them.
Scene 1-3-1-10: Unmasked Hostility
1
Yda
Seifer, was it? He seemed to have quite a temper.
2
Vaan
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
3
Tifa
Vaan! No need to be rude!
4
Hope
He didn't seem like a bad person...just liable to cause trouble, probably without even meaning to.
5
Tifa
There's no denying he was a pain, but it felt like he was putting on an act.
6
Yda
Well, I suppose there's no harm in trying to recruit him and his friends.
7
Cloud
It's not their skill that's the problem. It's their personalities.
8
Vaan
Yeah, just because they aren't the enemy, doesn't mean they're on our side.
9
Vaan
I don't want him coming with us. He's too arrogant and grumpy.
10
Hope
Agreed... Even if we did form an alliance, I don't know if that would mean anything to him.
11
Mog
No matter who they are or what they're like, we just need to focus on our task at hand, kupo.
12
Mog
But if they get in our way, we will have to fight them, kupo...
Scene 1-3-1-11: Ask Me No Questions
1
???
Come back for more, have you!?
2
Mog
M-more of what, kupo!?
3
???
Don't think I'm so easily fooled! I shall trounce you as thoroughly as I did the first time!
4
Warrior of Light
It appears he is under the impression that we are manikins.
5
Sazh
Kid, listen. I know you think you saw us, but?
6
???
Enough! I'll show you what Eblan ninjas are made of!
Scene 1-3-1-12: The Prince of Eblan
1
???
*Pant* Not bad! Nothing like those monsters from earlier!
2
Zidane
I'd hope so. We are the real thing after all.
3
Warrior of Light
I gather you were attacked by foes who resemble us.
4
???
...You can speak? Properly? I guess you really aren't them.
5
Rem
We're human just like you. We're not going to hurt you, I promise.
6
???
What choice do I have than to trust the words of a pretty lady such as yourself?
7
Edge
I'm Prince Edge of Eblan.
8
Cecil
Did you say Eblan!?
9
Cecil
Then could it be that you hailed from the same world as I?
10
Edge
Wait. That armor...
11
Edge
I've heard about you. You're the dark knight of Baron, leader of the Red Wings.
12
Cecil
Indeed. My name is Cecil.
13
Edge
What's a Baron knight doing here? Shouldn't you be exploring the world for the crystals?
14
Rem
This isn't the world you call home anymore.
15
Mog
Let me take over from here, kupo!
16
Mog
...And that's what happened, kupo.
17
Edge
So the world's in danger and you're on a journey to save it?
18
Edge
All right, then! Count me in!
Scene 1-3-1-13: To Battle
1
Seifer
Just shut up and follow us. I'm going to?
2
???
But I... I...
3
Zidane
Picking up girls now? Not too good at it, are ya?
4
Zidane
Lesson one: Tenderness and affection go a long way. The very opposite of what you're?
5
Seifer
Silence!
6
Seifer
I let you off the hook last time but you won't be so lucky this time!
7
Zidane
You let us off the hook!? That's not how I remember it!
8
Seifer
Shut up!
9
Raijin
Not again...
10
Fujin
INEVITABLE.
11
Seifer
Whose side are the two of you on!?
12
Mog
...He really does have a temper, kupo.
13
Seifer
This time, I'll make it as a knight... I have to...
14
Seifer
And I'm not going to let you stand in my way!
15
Mog
Then you give us no choice, kupo!
Scene 1-3-1-14: 3-8 Somber Grove Pt. 3
1
Raijin
Time to get serious, ya know!
2
Fujin
RAGE!
3
Seifer
Let's see what you wusses can do!
Scene 1-3-1-15: The Traveling Summoner
1
Raijin
Seifer, you should've listened to us, ya know. Let's get outta here.
2
Warrior of Light
...And they are gone?before we could even speak a word.
3
Zidane
Are you all right? Did they hurt you?
4
???
No, I'm fine. I met them right before you came. As soon as I told them who I was...
5
???
They insisted I join them. I, of course, had no choice but to refuse.
6
Mog
The light radiates strongly from you, kupo! What's your name?
7
Yuna
Ah, sorry. I'm Yuna.
8
Yuna
I'm a summoner, if any of you are familiar with the concept.
9
Zidane
We have your kind where I'm from.
10
Rem
I don't know what that is. I assume you're also a warrior of some kind from a different world?
11
Yuna
...So this is not Spira?
12
Zidane
What exactly do summoners do where you're from?
13
Yuna
We are trained to kill monsters and protect the people.
14
Yuna
It's a skill I'm glad to have. I was separated from my friends, and while searching for a way home, I was attacked by monsters.
15
Rem
And that's how you met Seifer?
16
Yuna
Yes. He wouldn't let me out of his sight, telling me he couldn't leave a girl with such an unfortunate destiny on her own.
17
Warrior of Light
He also proclaimed he wanted to become a knight.
18
Zidane
Seems to me, he needs to learn the meaning of "no." What an oaf.
19
Mog
Well, if you're alone, why don't you come with us?
20
Mog
We know more about this place than Seifer and his friends. We can tell you all about it, kupo!
21
Yuna
Are you sure it's okay for me to come with you?
22
Zidane
Of course! We can't leave a beautiful young lady out here to fend for herself!
23
Yuna
Thank you. In that case, I look forward to learning more about this place from you.
Scene 1-3-1-16: Eclipse
1
Raijin
I think we should've listened to what they had to say. They might've been able to help, ya know?
2
Fujin
REGRET.
3
Seifer
Stop talking about them! Can't you see I'm in a bad mood already!?
4
Seifer
That girl?she said her name was Yuna...
5
Seifer
Fate, you cruel mistress?to think that you'd thrust such a great burden upon such a frail creature...
6
Raijin
She seemed to be a sorceress of some sort, ya know?
7
Fujin
PROTECT.
8
Seifer
Exactly right, Fujin. A girl who bears the weight of destiny on her shoulders needs a knight by her side.
9
Seifer
Wait. I remember now?those imbeciles that showed up mentioned they were going to the Lost Kingdom.
10
Fujin
PURSUE?
11
Seifer
No. We're gonna beat them there.
12
Seifer
We'll protect her by exterminating all the monsters in the area before they arrive.
13
Raijin
Got it, Seifer! We'll follow your lead, ya know!
Scene 1-3-1-17: A True Warrior
1
Vaan
Not again.
2
Seifer
You're late. We've already taken care of this area.
3
Warrior of Light
You mean to say you have defeated all of the monsters here?
4
Cecil
You have our thanks. You have saved us a great deal of trouble.
5
Raijin
Thanks? From you? I must be hearing things, ya know?
6
Vaan
These two are actual knights, after all.
7
Seifer
What are you trying to imply, kid!?
8
Vaan
Well, you're not exactly the knightly type?at least not by my world's standards.
9
Vaan
Don't tell me you're upset?
10
Raijin
He's upset, ya know.
11
Warrior of Light
There is a Torsion beyond this point that we must close. There are many more like it that must also be sealed.
12
Warrior of Light
If left unattended, the corruption will continue to spread and monsters will run rampant.
13
Fujin
UNDERSTOOD.
14
Seifer
All right.
15
Seifer
We'll take care of this Torsion?even if it means I have to pry the privilege from you.
16
Raijin
Seifer!
17
Cecil
Please. For once, I ask that you lower your sword and listen to what we have to say.
18
Seifer
I don't have the time to listen to a clown like you.
19
Seifer
Fujin! Raijin!
20
Vaan
You're his friends, aren't you? Why aren't you stopping him!?
21
Fujin
ARMED.
22
Raijin
Like you said, we're his friends?we can't let him fight you alone, ya know?
23
Warrior of Light
If you continue to raise your weapons against us, we will be forced to take action against you.
Scene 1-3-1-18: A Great Divide
1
Seifer
Why is everyone trying to make a fool out of me!?
2
Yuna
We're doing no such thing!
3
Yuna
We just want you to listen to what we have to say. We know deep down you're a good man...
4
Yuna
Which is why we want you to join us.
5
Seifer
What? You've got to be kidding me.
6
Seifer
Just stay out of our way. That's the only kind of alliance we need.
7
Sazh
You really don't know anything about how these things work, do you?
8
Seifer
I'll give you this Torsion, but it's going to be me that saves the world?got it?
9
Seifer
So long.
10
Raijin
We'll see ya around, ya know!
11
Fujin
HUSH.
Scene 1-3-1-19: Yuffie's Dream
1
Yuffie
Hey Vaan, that's some awful nice jewelry you got there.
2
Yuffie
Where'd you steal it from?
3
Vaan
I didn't steal it from anywhere. This was one of the treasures taken from my people by the empire. I just took it back.
4
Yuffie
A kindred soul! Where I'm from, there used to be a powerful group known as Shinra.
5
Yuffie
My country wasn't weak by any means, but they destroyed us in the war.
6
Zidane
And that's how you became a thief.
7
Yuffie
What!? I'm not a thief! I'm a ninja.
8
Yuffie
A ninja looking to take back all that Shinra stole from my homeland.
9
Vaan
I like your ambition.
10
Vaan
Unlike you, I was whittling away my life on the streets. I wouldn't have imagined I'd end up in another world on some grand adventure.
11
Yuffie
Well, I'm glad someone finally understands the noble cause I fight for!
12
Zidane
...She's really something, isn't she?
13
Zidane
Must've been hard to work with someone as flighty and brash as her.
14
Cloud
Yeah.
15
Cloud
She's just like you.
16
Zidane
What?
17
Cloud
Nothing. Let's go.
Scene 1-3-1-20: At the Kingdom's Gate
1
Mog
Kupopo! We're here, everyone!
2
Sazh
How does Seifer plan on closing the Torsion when he knows next to nothing about how it works?
3
Yda
Good question. I guess we just have to hope he doesn't do anything foolish.
4
Warrior of Light
They do not appear to be in the near vicinity. Perhaps they went elsewhere?
5
Hope
Either way, I'm sure they're fine. They have each other. That should be enough.
6
Sazh
Well, there's no use in us worrying about it.
7
Mog
Agreed. Let's focus on our task for now, kupo!
8
Warrior of Light
Yes. We must keep an eye out. We are close to a Torsion. No doubt there are monsters lurking nearby.
9
Hope
We should be extra careful, then.
Scene 1-3-1-21: A Lone Stranger
1
???
You there, in the Akademeia uniform!
2
Rem
King!?
3
King
Where're the others? I haven't been able to get in contact with anyone since I wandered into this place.
4
Rem
King, I know this is going to sound crazy, but we're not in our world?we're not in Orience anymore.
5
Mog
Do you know him, kupo?
6
King
Huh? Is it just me or does that moogle look a little different than our usual Military Operation Guide?
7
Rem
He's not from Akademeia, but he is our friend.
8
Warrior of Light
It appears you were also summoned to this world to act as its savior.
9
King
All right, I get what's going on now. Surprised Rem was chosen out of everyone in Class Zero though.
10
Rem
Y-yeah, I can't believe someone as inexperienced as me was chosen either.
11
King
That's not what I meant. You're ill, you know?
12
Rem
I-it's nothing. I just get a little cough sometimes, so you don't need to worry about me, okay?
13
Warrior of Light
It seems we have visitors.
Scene 1-3-1-22: Rem's Wish
1
Rem
Um, King? Could you do me a favor?
2
Rem
Could you keep my illness a secret from everyone else?
3
King
Sounds like it really is serious then.
4
King
That's more the reason why you shouldn't be fighting.
5
Rem
No, I'm fine! Really. Everyone's just so nice that I don't want to worry them.
6
King
What a terrible liar.
7
King
If only he were here for her. He'd know what to do.
Scene 1-3-1-23: A Personal Brand of Justice
1
Rem
King, I was wondering... Why don't you come with us?
2
Sazh
Yeah, come on! We could use another gunslinger?and a talented one at that.
3
King
I was trained to use these handguns for war, not for protection.
4
King
A guy like me isn't fit to fight for a noble cause like saving the world.
5
Sazh
That ain't a reason. Weapons are just tools that level the playing field.
6
Sazh
What matters is why you pull that trigger. What're your intentions? What's your purpose?
7
King
My purpose...
8
Vivi
...I was supposed to be a puppet for war back in my world.
9
Vivi
But my family and friends gave me purpose.
10
Vivi
Instead of hurting others, I decided to protect them with my magic.
11
Mog
They're right, kupo!
12
Warrior of Light
Your noble intentions shall illuminate the path to righteousness.
13
King
So these are the values of other worlds, huh?
14
King
I can feel there's something here that wasn't in the shelter I grew up in or Akademeia. Or even in Orience.
15
King
I don't know if I believe everything the moogle said just yet, but...
16
King
I'm in. I'll fight for this world...and for myself.
Scene 1-3-1-24: On the Brink of Disaster
1
King
We're saving the world by wielding our guns and magic against monsters. A far cry from home, huh?
2
Rem
Yeah, while monsters exist in Orience, it wasn't them we had to fight most of the time.
3
Rem
...King, there's something that's been weighing on my mind lately.
4
King
Let me guess. Death?
5
Rem
Yeah. While no one we know has died yet...
6
Rem
If something were to happen to them, they wouldn't be erased from my memories, right?
7
King
Probably not. I don't imagine the Crystal's influence extends this far.
8
Rem
...I'm just scared that should anyone die, we'll remember them.
9
King
I agree.
10
King
But that's why I strongly believe that we need to protect those important to us.
11
Rem
That's what we can and should do.
12
Rem
Sorry for bringing it up. Let's go back to the others.
13
King
It's nothing. We're from the same world. No one else would understand.
14
Rem
But... Yeah, I guess you're right. If I fight and die here...
15
Rem
At least I won't be forgotten.
Scene 1-3-1-25: Something Smells
1
Zidane
*Sniff* *Sniff* You smell that?
2
Vaan
Is it the sweet smell of treasure?
3
Zidane
No, not that. It stinks. Doesn't anyone else smell that?
4
Sazh
Smell what?
5
Sazh
Whoa! What is that!?
6
Mog
It's coming from up ahead, kupo!
7
Zidane
I hope it's not what I think it is...
8
Mog
We have to keep going, no matter how smelly, kupo!
9
King
I think I know which monster you're talking about, Zidane. If it's what I think it is...
10
Y'shtola
Then we must proceed with caution, else risk being rendered defenseless.
Scene 1-3-1-26: From Dimensions Beyond
1
Zidane
Phew. Let's get outta here?I need a breath of fresh air.
2
Yuna
The Torsion should disappear any second now, right?
3
Mog
Yes, ku? Wait, do you hear that?
4
???
RAAAH!
5
???
Where...am I?
6
Mog
You nearly gave me a heart attack, kupo!
7
Zidane
...Who are you?
8
Bartz
I'm Bartz.
9
Bartz
A wandering adventurer of sorts.
10
Bartz
I got separated from my friends, and while I was searching for them, I was pulled into a limbo-like space. Now I'm here.
11
Bartz
So who are you guys? You look to be a knight of some kind...and you, a summoner. Fellow adventurers, I take it?
12
Zidane
I guess you could say that.
13
Zidane
Lemme explain everything from the beginning....
14
Bartz
Now it all makes sense!
15
Bartz
I think I'll join you! Fate brought us together?that must mean something. Besides, I don't have anywhere else to be.
16
Warrior of Light
The monsters in this area are quite powerful. The greater our numbers, the better.
17
Yuna
I, um, I'm glad to have you with us.
18
Mog
Now that we have a new friend to help us, let's make for the next Torsion, kupo!
Chapter 1-4: Snowy Peaks of Crudelis
Scene 1-4-1-1: The Fight Continues
1
Mog
Talk about progress! The light shines brighter than ever, and we just closed our biggest Torsion to date, kupo!
2
Materia
Mog, tell me...
3
Materia
Why did you refuse Seifer's help? He is possessed of the light?just as any of your other warriors.
4
Mog
Even if I explained my reasoning, I don't think you'd understand, kupo. You are a goddess, after all. And they are humans.
5
Materia
I will do my very best.
6
Mog
You see, humans are ruled by emotion. Even if their goal is the same, should their beliefs conflict, the result will be disastrous, kupo!
7
Materia
Seifer and your warriors, though they share the same goal, are simply too different...
8
Materia
I think I grasp what you are saying.
9
Mog
Yes, their intentions are good and their hearts are in the right place, kupo!
10
Mog
They just have different methods, kupo!
11
Materia
Very well. I will not claim to understand it, but will trust in your judgement.
12
Materia
Now returning to the matter at hand?I sense a great danger from the lands you are to travel to next.
13
Mog
Great danger, kupo!? L-like a super strong monster?
14
Materia
Yes... One that is taken by madness and more powerful than you can even imagine.
15
Mog
Regardless of its strength, we will return victorious, kupo! We have the light on our side after all!
Scene 1-4-1-2: Snow-Covered Peaks
1
Zidane
Brrr! It's so cold out here! I can barely feel my nose!
2
Bartz
Too bad we couldn't take the airship over those peaks.
3
Mog
Kupo! Unfortunately, the next Torsion is located beyond the Crudelis Mountains.
4
Yuna
And we will have to scale it to get there.
5
Yuffie
You're lucky, Mog. You've got a thick layer of fur to protect you from the elements.
6
Mog
The heat, the cold?it's all the same to me, kupo! What's important is that I do a good job as your guide!
7
Zidane
Come on, guys! If this little guy can do it without complaining, so can we!
8
Yuna
Stay on your toes, everyone. Remember, monsters could appear at any time.
Scene 1-4-1-3: 4-3 Arctic Snowfield Pt. 3
1
King
That Magitek Armor... It's different from the rest.
2
Cloud
We'll worry about the details later.
Scene 1-4-1-4: The Little Mage Girl
1
Edge
Did she just fall out of that machine!?
2
Zidane
Hey! Are you okay!? Wake up!
3
Warrior of Light
Wait! She attacked us. I think it unwise to approach her.
4
???
*Groan*
5
Zidane
She's practically unconscious. She couldn't hurt us even if she tried.
6
Edge
Why was she in that machine?
7
Rem
Magitek armor requires someone to operate it.
8
Rem
The model she was in, though, looked a bit different from those in my world.
9
Zidane
Look?something just came off her head.
10
Rem
I sense something. Could it be magic? Magic used to addle the mind?
11
Mog
Kupo! So maybe she was being controlled by this band of metal?
12
Zidane
...Then she's not the enemy.
13
Edge
We should wait for her to wake up so she can tell us what happened.
14
Warrior of Light
Let us take her to a safe place and treat her wounds, then.
15
Mog
Good idea, kupo! There's a cave just over there!
Scene 1-4-1-5: A Hidden Ally
1
Mog
Kupo! I sense the light coming from someone in that direction.
2
Bartz
Are they one of us?
3
Yuna
If they are, I hope they're okay. This area is crawling with monsters.
4
Zidane
Are they alone?
5
Mog
Most likely, kupo. They might be lost.
6
Bartz
Then let's get a move on.
7
Zidane
Right behind ya.
8
Mog
*Sigh* We should follow them before they get into trouble, kupo...
Scene 1-4-1-6: A Special Friend
1
Vaan
So, you have any idea what this person looks like?
2
Mog
No, but I can try to conjure up an image, kupo!
3
Tifa
What is it, Vaan? Something on your mind?
4
Vaan
Yeah, I'm wondering if? Nah, couldn't be.
5
Mog
Kupo, kupo...
6
Mog
It's a girl! She has blonde hair...and braids. That's all I could get, kupo.
7
Vaan
Or could it!? I've gotta make sure she's okay.
8
Zidane
Is she your girlfriend? Come on, tell us about her!
9
Vaan
We grew up together. Sorry, guys, but I can't leave her out there all by herself.
10
Yuna
She must really mean a lot to him.
11
Tifa
Yeah, which is why we should hurry.
Scene 1-4-1-7: Reunited
1
???
Vaan! Is that really you?
2
Vaan
I knew it was you, Penelo! What are you doing here?
3
Penelo
How can you be so calm!? I was worried sick about you!
4
Zidane
Vaan was really worried about you too, you know?
5
Penelo
Huh? Oh, I... Right.
6
Penelo
I'm Penelo. Thanks for saving me. May I ask what you're all doing here?
7
Mog
We're on a journey to seal the Torsions, kupo.
8
Penelo
Torsions? You mean those portals the monsters have been coming out of?
9
Vaan
You're coming with us, right? Not like you can go home, anyway.
10
Penelo
Wait... We can't return to our world?
11
Zidane
For the time being, none of us can.
12
Yuna
Even if we could, those Torsions are spreading destruction to our worlds as well. We have to do something.
13
Penelo
But I... I don't know what to do.
14
Vaan
That's why you should come with us. We can worry about getting home after we take care of things here.
15
Penelo
Are you sure? I don't want to get in the way.
16
Zidane
We'd love to have you. Right, guys?
17
Zidane
All right, let's do this! Unlike some bozo I know, I can actually protect you.
18
Vaan
Huh? Are you talking about me?
19
Zidane
*Sigh* It's just no fun when they're this dense.
20
Penelo
All right, I've made up my mind. I'm coming with you!
