Aeris Gainsborough says, "Cloud ..."

Cloud Strife says, "Aeris .. leave me be....."

behind them in the core .... voices can be heard. there is a great surge of power

Aeris Gainsborough turns around

Cid Highwind says, "ohh, can you help me up Yuffie?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh ... wow ...."

Cloud Strife turns as well

Yuffie Kisaragi says, "sure, ... hey, do you hear that??"

Yuffie Kisaragi lifts him

Cid Highwind says, "yea"

Cid Highwind leans on Yuffie

Cid Highwind says, "turns around"

there are bunches of people there, everyone from Cloud's home town

Cid Highwind says, "what in the world???"

Cloud Strife blinks

everyone Sephiroth killed

Cid Highwind limps over to Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "I must be dead"

they are all there

Cid Highwind says, "hmm"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "no, I know I'm not. this is .. Holy has undid all the death Sephiroth has caused"

Cloud Strife looks around

Cid Highwind says, "Rufus is......there?"

Yuffie Kisaragi says, "hey, I see some people from Wutia!"

Rufus Shinra is there, looking around

Cloud Strife sees Rufus and rushes him

Rufus Shinra sees Cloud. hugs him up and kisses him passionately

Cloud Strife says, "Rufus....."

Cid Highwind says, "ok, I'm tuning around"

Rufus Shinra does not care that people are watching

Cloud Strife holds him tightly

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "I missed you so much"

Cid Highwind says, "so, they are finally reunited"

Cloud Strife says, "Mom?"

Cloud's Mom says, "Cloud?"

Cloud Strife forgets Rufus for a sec and hugs his mother

Cloud's Mom walks to him carefully and hugs back

Rufus Shinra smiles

Cid Highwind says, "odd"

Rufus Shinra suddenly realizes who else must be there and his eyes darken. his fists clench

Cid Highwind says, "hey, it's the president. that person I know to well"

Cloud Strife looks confused for a moment

Rufus Shinra looks around for a weapon

Cid Highwind says, "he's the son of a bitch that cut back the space program!"

Rufus Shinra sees the prez, and is ready to make him dead again

Cid Highwind says, "my dreams where ruined because of you old man"

Yuffie Kisaragi says, "that guy?"

Cid Highwind says, "yea"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "he wanted me to lead him to the Promised Land"

Rufus Shinra's eyes fill with rage as they look upon the president

Cloud Strife is talking to someone from his town.. both of them confused

President Shinra says, "so, it's my son"

Rufus Shinra seems to have forgotten about Cloud, who is talking to some people, and his face darkens

President Shinra says, " long time no see"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes ..... "

President Shinra says, "oh well, I'm alive again so I'll go back to my corporation and I'll just ship you back to Junon"

Rufus Shinra says, "NO WAY"

President Shinra says, "how dare you raise your voice to me"

Cloud Strife hears Rufus yell.. and walks over to him

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm about to make you dead again old man"

Rufus Shinra growls in anger

President Shinra says, "I should have just left you in that basement years ago"

Cloud Strife says, "Rufus?"

Rufus Shinra softens a second, hearing Cloud's voice. turns to him

President Shinra says, "you where a real big disappointment to me, now you become a faggot"

Cloud Strife flushes red and growls. puts a hand on Rufus' shoulder

President Shinra says, "your not my son, I never had a son, your just a nobody, you don't disserve to have the Shinra name"

Rufus Shinra says, "I know I'm not your son. I don't want your name"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Cloud Strife says, "Rufus.. remember... what the penalty is for child abuse?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Tell him Rufus"

Rufus Shinra grins

Rufus Shinra says, "yeah, ....."

President Shinra says, "I should have killed that ancient when I had the chance too"

Rufus Shinra says, "What I did to Rude and Reno ... only worse"

Aeris Gainsborough twirls her staff

Cloud Strife says, "I won't feel bad over his death....."

Rufus Shinra says, "good"

Cloud Strife bares his teeth in the closest thing to a wicked grin he can make

President Shinra says, "I treated Reno like a real son, unlike you"

Rufus Shinra whistles for attention

President Shinra says, "humph, what are you going to do now, kill me?"

Cloud Strife says, "Worse"

Rufus Shinra says, "hey, everyone, please restrain the soon to be dead again president Shinra ...."

President Shinra says, "hmm, so you are serious"

Rufus Shinra watches the mob of people surround the prez

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm always serious"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and walks over to her brother

Cloud Strife says, "All the crimes against Humanity... against Rufus... will be paid for"

President Shinra says, "..............."

Cloud Strife says, "Just like Sephiroth"

Rufus Shinra looks at Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "sounds like you got an Idea of your own of what to do to him"

President Shinra says, "all of you step back, I am the president and I order you!"

Rufus Shinra laughs

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm the president now! the people love me!"

President Shinra says, "you're not even related to me"

Rufus Shinra says, "You knew, didn't you?"

President Shinra says, "humph"

Rufus Shinra says, "I didn't even know till I died"

Cid Highwind says, "damn it, I'm ready to push this fat fucker off the cliff"

President Shinra says, "humph"

Cloud Strife is a tad bit twisted from having Rufus die and having to kill Sephiroth

Aeris Gainsborough says, "yeah, he's my brother, so back off you mean old man"

Tseng steps into view

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Tseng!"

Tseng says, "Hi Aeris"

President Shinra says, "great another disappointment"

Cloud Strife kisses Rufus on the cheek

Cloud Strife says, "This fat bastard is spoiling our reunion.... shall we remove him?"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "yes"

President Shinra says, "I die and you will never know who your true father is"

Rufus Shinra says, "I've wanted my whole life to kill him"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm....."

Rufus Shinra says, "I know already"

Tseng looks at the old guy

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Cloud Strife says, "Cut of what he holds most dear first..... "

President Shinra says, "what!"

Cloud Strife says, "What would be a fitting punishment.... hmm"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "He knows he's my brother"

Rufus Shinra looks at him

Cloud Strife says, "I think we should disfigure him and let him live... cut out his eyes.... his nose... .. destroy his senses......."

Rufus Shinra says, "I suddenly got a great idea .... no body out there will let him take back ShinRa corp. I know what we have to cut off"

Rufus Shinra's eyes darken

President Shinra looks over at the edge that he is standing near

Cloud Strife says, "Leave him his ears... so he can hear the cries of disgust.... "

Cloud Strife chuckles dryly

Cid Highwind says, "I think I prefer to remove you of the dignity of killing me"

Cloud Strife says, "Either that or lock him in a cage at the whorehouse.."

Cloud Strife bares his teeth in a sadistic grin again

Tseng says, "you were a horrible person"

President Shinra says, "I don't want any of you poor trash touching me. so long disappointment"

Rufus Shinra raps his arm around Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "How I've missed your touch"

Rufus Shinra says, "is that the best you can do old man?"

President Shinra raises both arms and falls back into the core"

Rufus Shinra laughs

President Shinra silently falls to his death

Rufus Shinra turns to Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "I missed being able to touch you"

Cid Highwind says, "well, that fat basted is dead. I wonder where Yuffie is"

everybody cheers

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh, she's back at the Highwind"

Tseng says, "how did we come back to life?"

Cloud Strife says, "Cling to the one hope... the only hope... it came true"

Cloud Strife pounces Rufus and nearly knocks him over

Rufus Shinra hugs Cloud up in his arms

Cid Highwind says, "come on everyone, I know you all don't want to stay in this dark and creepy place"

Tseng stares at Cloud and Rufus

Cid Highwind falls to one knee

Tseng says, "so, that's why you told us not to touch them after you took over ....."

Cid Highwind says, "damn! hard to walk"

Rufus Shinra is to busy kissing Cloud to really care about anything, or hear Tseng

people rush around, cheering. soon only Tseng, Cloud's mom, and another woman are standing there

Cid Highwind says, "great, the old pilot has to struggle to his ship"

Tseng goes to Cid

Tseng says, "I guess I'll help you out"

Cid Highwind says, "thanks"

Tseng helps Cid back to the Highwind

Cloud Strife undoes Rufus' jacket and lifts up his shirt slightly to see if there is any scar

Cloud's mom smiles as she watches her son

Cloud Strife says, "Sorry.. killer curiosity there....."

Rufus Shinra says, "It's ok"

the other woman, who is in a lab coat, walks over to them

Aeris Gainsborough walks off after Tseng and Cid

Cloud Strife buttons Rufus' jacket back up and pats his chest

Rufus Shinra smiles

Lucrecia says, "Rufus, do you have any idea who I am?"

Rufus Shinra looks to her

Rufus Shinra says, "no, I don't"

Lucrecia nods

Lucrecia says, "I figured they would never have told you. I gave birth to Sephiroth, and died as a result."

Rufus Shinra says, "... then you would be my mother"

Cloud Strife wonders if his own mother is disappointed in her son's sexual preferences

Lucrecia smiles

Cloud Strife walks over to his mother again

Lucrecia looks at her son

Cloud Strife says, "Mom... I can explain......."

Lucrecia opens her arms wide and hugs him, crying

Rufus Shinra holds his mother, never having known her touch before

Lucrecia says, "At last, I can hold you my son. I was not aloud to hold you .. or Sephiroth ...."

Cloud Strife's mother and himself stand there for several moments.... in uncomfortable silence

Rufus Shinra says, "That must have been sad for you"

Lucrecia says, "That's what I felt killed me ... but it was also complications giving birth the second time. your birth flatlined me .. but they managed to bring me back"

Rufus Shinra nods slowly

Lucrecia says, "Now I am going to search and find out if the man who loved me ... Vincent Valentine ... who had been a Turk ... is still alive"

Lucrecia smiles at her son and walks off

Cloud Strife has a long discussion with his mother....

Rufus Shinra walks over to Cloud. wonders if the mother knows who he is at all. stands by Cloud. puts his hand on Cloud's shoulder and looks at Cloud's mom

Cloud Strife sighs Cuz his mother looks very disappointed in him

Rufus Shinra looks at her

Rufus Shinra says, "do you know who I am?"

Cloud's Mother says, "No I don't recognize you..... not quite anyway...... "

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm President Rufus Shinra, head of the ShinRa Corporation ... "

Rufus Shinra grins and flicks back his hair

Cloud's Mother says, "Cloud. of all the people to fall in love with... "

Cloud Strife says, "....."

Rufus Shinra watches her carefully

Cloud's Mother says, "But if you're happy.... *wanted to see grandchildren... but wont because of her loser son*"

Rufus Shinra seems to be reading minds again

Rufus Shinra says, "You know, now you can create children from genetic samples?"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm.. wonder what our kids would look like "

Cloud Strife snickers at the thought

Rufus Shinra starts to laugh

Cloud Strife hugs Rufus tightly.. laughing

Rufus Shinra hugs Cloud tightly

Rufus Shinra says, "Hey I'm the richest, most powerful person in the world ..... I can get anything done"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm also the luckiest ... not cause I'm rich and powerful ... but because ... I have Cloud"

Cloud's Mother says, "Well if you feel that way about my son... I guess all I can do is give you two my blessings....."

Rufus Shinra smiles and looks at Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "Thank you for coming back to me"

Rufus Shinra says, "Why wouldn't I have come back? You are all I really need"

Cloud Strife says, "You're all I need to.... well mebbe some bread and water now and then....."

Cloud Strife is going back to his normal self... no more hard edge bastard

Rufus Shinra chuckles and smiles. swoops him up in his arms and carries him up the way Cloud came

Rufus Shinra says, "lets go, everyone has a ton of celebrating to do"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah! I can eat.. and then the sleep part......"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "I'll be there to hold you again"

Cloud Strife says, "Yes yes!"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Cloud Strife says, "I was so depressed...."

Rufus Shinra says, "you'll be able to sleep and you'll be happy again"

Cloud Strife says, "Yes... sleep without seeing you dead....."

Rufus Shinra says, "I hated seeing you depressed"

Cloud Strife says, "No more of that"

Rufus Shinra says, "right"

Cloud Strife says, "You me and the world love....."

Rufus Shinra kisses him deeply. sets him gently on the ground again, but not letting go of his sweet mouth

Cloud Strife returns the kiss passionately... pressing himself against Rufus

Rufus Shinra knows there is a Crowd of people around .. seeing that he carried Cloud back to them, but does not care. holds Cloud tightly, but not enough to crush his bones

Cloud Strife knows he is being stared at.. by mother and everyone else... but doesn't care..... his life is his again

people are cheering all around, but the only thing Rufus really cares about is Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "I'm never gonna let you go again"

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm yours forever it seems"

Cloud Strife says, "And longer if you'll have me"

Rufus Shinra says, "they say if you let something go and it comes back, it's yours forever"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "but of course"

Cloud Strife says, "You came back"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Cloud Strife says, "Prrrr...... for me... I feel so special"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes, for you .. and you are. you are the special one who made me feel. who revived a heart ... and made me whole"

Cloud Strife says, "Now we can show the world you are not a monster"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Cloud Strife hugs Rufus

Rufus Shinra holds Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "And change it for the better.. we gotta lot of fixing to do"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes, we do"

Cloud Strife says, "We can do it... and teach the future to take care of this place"

Rufus Shinra nods

Rufus Shinra says, "So that everything can blossom and grow"

Cloud Strife says, "C'mon Rufus... lets get these people home"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes love"

Rufus Shinra walks with Cloud out of the crater .... to leave the memories of death .. and of Sephiroth, behind forever.
