Rufus Shinra looks around Junon for his wife... needing to find her ASAP

Tifa Lockheart stretches

Rufus Shinra finds her back in their room

Tifa Lockheart looks out the window at the meteor burning in the sky

Rufus Shinra says, "Love, I think I know how to stop Meteor..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Hmm?"

Rufus Shinra says, "We need to get to the Northern Crater ASAP... but first we need to move the Mako cannon to Midgar and use it to destroy the shield"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm having the cannon moved there as we speak... but you and I have to get ready to face Jenova... and even Sephiroth if needed. It seems that Cloud is no where to be found... "

Tifa Lockheart says, "Ooh... Fighting"

Rufus Shinra nods

Tifa Lockheart says, "And where did he get to you think?"

Rufus Shinra says, "to save the world... to keep us all alive. I have no idea..."

Rufus Shinra moves over to Tifa and puts his arms around her

Rufus Shinra says, "The world... life must go on"

Rufus Shinra kisses her cheek

Tifa Lockheart says, "Yes... although I hope we don't die. I would like us to go on as well"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "as do I... but the way things stand now with Meteor we will all die... so our lives would be a luxury"

Tifa Lockheart nods

Rufus Shinra says, "Come on my love... we must be on our way to Midgar"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Alright"

Rufus Shinra takes her hand and leads her to the Airship

Tifa Lockheart climbs aboard

Rufus Shinra flies with her to Midgar... where the Mako cannon is being installed

Tifa Lockheart watches out the window

Tifa Lockheart says, "That thing is huge"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes... and we can use it to take away the barrier"

Rufus Shinra watches from the deck of the Highwind

Rufus Shinra says, "once the barrier is gone we will go after Jenova"

Tifa Lockheart says, "What's it run on?"

Rufus Shinra says, "Regrettably Mako energy... after this I'm shutting the reactors down. Of course... I hope there is enough for this since Reactors 1 and 5 are gone..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Oops... heh"

Rufus Shinra says, "It's ok... I'm betting the other reactors will short out now though... I had them evacuated for the firing of the cannon. I don't want more people to get killed"

Tifa Lockheart nods

Tifa Lockheart says, "So.... We have little time"

Rufus Shinra nods

Tifa Lockheart says, "Once that barrier goes down we gotta hightail it up there"

Rufus Shinra says, "Yes... and hope for the best"

Tifa Lockheart says, "We'll make it"

Rufus Shinra kisses her deeply

Rufus Shinra says, "yes... I'm so glad you are here. If not for you... I'd be dead... and perhaps the whole world too cause no one else might have thought of what I have in time"

Tifa Lockheart says, "I know love. And we're married.... I hope we get to have a family once this is over"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "yes... you and I"

Rufus Shinra turns back... listing to the reports that the cannon is ready

Rufus Shinra says, "alright... it's time"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Okay"

Rufus Shinra gives the order to fire the cannon. Watches the cannon gather power... all the lights of Midgar go out as the energy goes to the cannon

Tifa Lockheart blinks

Rufus Shinra watches as the cannon fires... heading out to the Northern Crater. Smiles faintly

Rufus Shinra says, "Let's hope this actually did something"

Rufus Shinra listens to the reports and smiles more

Tifa Lockheart says, "Good news?"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes... the barrier is gone... let's go"

Rufus Shinra turns to the pilot and orders them off to the crater

Tifa Lockheart says, "Alright.... Here we come Sephiroth and whatever else is there!"

Rufus Shinra puts an arm around Tifa as they fly. Smiles once they reach the crater

Tifa Lockheart looks at the crater

Rufus Shinra says, "now... time to meet our destiny if need be"

Tifa Lockheart says, "It better be a good one!"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes..."

Rufus Shinra walks done to the ladder, holding his Shotgun

Tifa Lockheart fixes her glove and follows Rufus

Rufus Shinra heads down into the crater

Tifa Lockheart follows Rufus down... wishing she could be elsewhere

Rufus Shinra cocks his gun

Rufus Shinra says, "you ready to face our peril?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Yes love...."

Rufus Shinra smiles, glad she's here

Tifa Lockheart grabs Rufus and hugs him tight

Rufus Shinra hugs her tightly as well

Tifa Lockheart says, "whatever happens.... I love you"

Rufus Shinra says, "I love you as well"

Sephiroth is hovering in the core

Tifa Lockheart sighs and looks at Sephiroth

Rufus Shinra sees Sephiroth

Tifa Lockheart says, "we gotta kill him?"

Rufus Shinra says, "No clue... if we do thought Cloud's gonna go insane"

Sephiroth flicks his eyes open

Sephiroth says, "Cloud? Where is he?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "He's not here.... We don't know where he went"

Sephiroth floats down next to them

Rufus Shinra says, "Sephiroth... meteor must be stopped"

Sephiroth looks at Rufus

Sephiroth says, "So it would seem to you"

Tifa Lockheart says, "If you don't stop it everyone... including Cloud... is going to die"

Sephiroth blinks

Sephiroth says, "Cloud will be with me..."

Rufus Shinra says, "Be with you? In what way Sephiroth?"

Sephiroth says, "In every way...."

Tifa Lockheart says, "he'll be dead"

Rufus Shinra says, "Where is Jenova?"

Rufus Shinra says, "Where is she... so we can end this... I know that's what you want Sephiroth... just to be with Cloud..."

Sephiroth floats back up into the air

Sephiroth says, "I grow tired of this"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Please Sephiroth... he loves you and I know you love him too... do you really want to know he's going to die... possibly in great pain?"

Sephiroth says, "Pain?"

Sephiroth blinks at Tifa

Rufus Shinra says, "Yes Pain... he'll die alone... You'll be down here while he's up there..."

Sephiroth says, "Mother is calling..."

Sephiroth vanishes

Tifa Lockheart shakes her head

Rufus Shinra looks at Tifa

Tifa Lockheart says, "What do we do now? Oh... sorry I asked..."

Rufus Shinra says, "We fight"

Rufus Shinra cocks his gun, aiming at Jenova

Tifa Lockheart puts up her fists

Tifa Lockheart says, "Great... I gotta touch it... Ech"

Rufus Shinra fires at Jenova

Rufus Shinra says, "well... there is always magic"

Tifa Lockheart says, "True"

Tifa Lockheart fires off a round of fire spells at Jenova

Tifa Lockheart says, "Aii... fuck!"

Rufus Shinra says, "Grrr"

Tifa Lockheart sends a summon spell... Kjata after Jenova

Rufus Shinra fires more rounds into Jenova. More upset at his wife's pain then his own injuries

Tifa Lockheart says, "Its up to something"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes, we got to destroy it now"

Tifa Lockheart says, "What summons you got?"

Rufus Shinra takes out Knights Of The round and casts it on Jenova

Rufus Shinra says, "This one"

Tifa Lockheart says, "ooh"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Well... its dead...."

Rufus Shinra goes to Tifa after putting his shotgun away

Rufus Shinra says, "yes it is"

Rufus Shinra hugs her close

Tifa Lockheart says, "So what happens now? Meteor is still on the way"

Sephiroth drops down from out of no where... wielding his Masamune

Sephiroth says, "I must find my love... where ever he is..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Wait a sec"

Sephiroth looks at Tifa

Sephiroth says, "what is it?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "We're still screwed aren't we?"

Sephiroth says, "Holy will take care of Meteor. Aeris's prayer worked..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Well... that's good"

Tifa Lockheart hugs Rufus

Rufus Shinra hugs her back, smiling

Sephiroth says, "Now... I'm off to join my love..."

Sephiroth walks on past them and off to find Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "You know... assuming Sephiroth is right... we wanted to have a bigger wedding with everyone invited... right?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Yep"

Rufus Shinra smiles and holds her close

Tifa Lockheart says, "Too bad Aeris can't come...."

Rufus Shinra says, "Let us go... and hope that the world is right"

Rufus Shinra nods slowly

Rufus Shinra says, "but, she'll be there in spirit"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Yes"

Rufus Shinra kisses her, hooking her arm

Rufus Shinra says, "shall we go then my love?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Yes. Lets go... we got a life to live"

Rufus Shinra smiles and leaves the crater with her
