Reno jumps down from the Helicopter and runs to the control panel

Tifa Lockheart runs to the top of the stairs panting slightly

Reno says, "once I press this button...."

Cloud Strife says, "You again?"

Reno says, "It seems we keep running into each other"

Cloud Strife says, "Hrmph... Even know who I am"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Stop right there.... You know how many people are gonna die?"

Reno says, "some exSOLDIER who is now a terrorist"

Reno looks blankly at Tifa

Cloud Strife says, "Terrorist?"

Cloud Strife takes a step towards Reno

Reno says, "you are blowing up Mako reactors"

Tifa Lockheart says, "It's killing the planet!"

Barret walks over to the others.

Cloud Strife says, "It's lining my pockets..."

Reno says, "It's killing people and wrecking ShinRa equipment is what you are doing"

Reno presses the button

Cloud Strife says, "Who cares about ShinRa... the president is a dirty bastard"

Reno says, "that's it folks... it's all over"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Shit! "

Reno says, "So they say, but he's still in charge"

Tifa Lockheart runs over to the panel

Reno says, "you can't disarm it. It will trigger the second someone like you messes with it"

Tifa Lockheart says, "You bastard! There are people down there!"

Cloud Strife draws his sword

Reno says, "then why didn't you warn them?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "We just slogged out of the damned sewers!"

Barret says "Damn it!"

Reno looks at Cloud

Reno says, "why do you seem familiar?"

Cloud Strife shrugs.

The Helicopter comes flying back.

Cloud Strife glares at Reno

Reno looks at his watch

Reno says, "heh heh, it's time"

Tifa Lockheart looks helplessly at the panel

Reno jumps onto the helicopter

Tifa Lockheart says, "Cloud I cant do anything!"

Barret says "DAMN IT!"

Cloud Strife says, "Lets worry about getting ourselves out of here first... we cant save them...."

Cloud Strife watches the Chopper

The Helicopter flies away.

Cloud Strife grabs Tifa by the arm and hauls her to the edge of the platform.

Barret Wallace grabs the wire

Tifa Lockheart grabs onto Barret...

Cloud Strife grimaces and grabs onto the wire as well

Cloud Strife says, "Let's go!"

Barret Wallace swings out as the supports explode

-----------ShinRa Tower---------------

Cloud Strife stands outside the tower and looks up at it

Cloud Strife says, "We can either go in the front door or sneak around the back"

Barret Wallace looks up as well

Barret Wallace says, "I say go in the front!"

Cloud Strife says, "Alright... less stairs to climb"

Cloud Strife draws his sword

Barret Wallace heads in

Tifa Lockheart says, "Good old Cloud and Barret... never listen to me..."

They fight their way up the floors

Tifa Lockheart says, "I wanted to go in the back door"

Tifa Lockheart shrugs and fights along with the others

They finally rescue Aeris and get an addition to their group

Red XIII says, "now where to?"

Barret Wallace says, "come on man, let's get to the elevators"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles at Cloud

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you came to save me"

Cloud Strife says, "I guess I did"

Cloud Strife shrugs

Barret Wallace heads for the elevators

Aeris Gainsborough says, "thank you"

Cloud Strife follows Barret....

Red XIII runs after

Aeris Gainsborough walks next to Cloud

Tifa Lockheart follows at the Rear of the group watching Aeris

Cloud Strife says, "You okay Aeris? They didn't mistreat you or anything?"

Barret Wallace walks into the elevator

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I'm fine"

Red XIII says, "Thank you for rescuing me as well"

Barret Wallace says, "let's go man! "

Aeris Gainsborough stands in the elevator

Red XIII runs in after them

Cloud Strife pokes at the buttons on the elevator

Suddenly a bald Turk walks in

Up please"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Erk..."

Cloud Strife sighs and pushes the button for up

They are all lead into the prez's office

Barret is highly struggling, wanting to get out and attack the Prez

Red XIII sits on the floor, sighing

Cloud Strife looks somewhat pale

The Prez walks out from behind his desk and looks them over

you again...*looks at Cloud, recognizing him this time*"

Cloud Strife stands there... tensing visibly

Tifa Lockheart blinks

Barret Wallace says, " Grrr, when I get threw with you!"

Tifa Lockheart says, "You are a murderer... "

Tifa Lockheart glares at the Prez

hmm, so you are the famous AVALNCHE? I guess our brief meeting at the reactor was not enough *looks at Cloud* and You, I remember you now ... I've been looking for you for two years"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Cloud?"

Cloud Strife says, "...."

Barret Wallace says, " man? What the Fuck is he talking about?"

Cloud Strife says, "Nothing..."

*looks to Rude and Tseng* take those three to the cells ... but give this fourth one his own cell"

Rude and Tseng comply

Barret Wallace is in a Cell with Red and Tifa

Red XIII goes to sleep

Barret Wallace looks at Tifa

Barret Wallace says, "do you know what the fuck is going on?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "No clue"

Barret Wallace says, "The Prez knows Cloud? Now this is getting freaky man"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Did you see how tense he was? He wasn't very happy either"

Barret Wallace says, "yeah ... I noticed. Damn, what the hell"

Cloud Strife sits in his cell, alone... looking quite unhappy

Barret Wallace says, "Two years ... damn ... "

Tifa Lockheart says, "Why would he have been looking for cloud?"

Barret Wallace says, "Why the hell would the Prez be after him for two years? You don't know either?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "No clue"

Barret Wallace sighs

Tifa Lockheart says, "I do know Cloud was a Solider...."

Barret Wallace says, "yeah"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Perhaps he went AWOL and they were looking for him"

Barret Wallace says, "hey, he did drop SOLDIER and become a Mercenary"

Barret Wallace yawns

Barret Wallace says, "I'm tired"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Mebbe he has war crimes or needs to be punished?"

Barret Wallace stretches out

Barret Wallace says, "war crimes?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "No clue"

Barret Wallace says, "well, I'm getting some sleep"

Tifa Lockheart says, "But he was there when Sephiroth went nuts... maybe they want to question him"

Tifa Lockheart shrugs

Barret Wallace lies down

Tifa Lockheart says, "Me too... "

Barret Wallace closes his eyes and drifts to sleep

Tifa Lockheart sleeps as well

Cloud Strife twiddles his thumbs in his cell wondering what kind of fate he will have

When Cloud wakes he finds his cell open the guards are dead"

Cloud Strife pokes his head out of the door

Cloud Strife says, "Whoa... "

Cloud Strife moves down the line of cells testing the other doors... until he finds his friends

Barret Wallace wakes up

Barret Wallace says, "Wha?"

Barret Wallace stands up

Barret Wallace says, "Cloud?"

Cloud Strife says, "All the doors are open.... The guards are dead"

Cloud Strife shrugs

Red XIII wakes as well

Barret Wallace walks out

Aeris Gainsborough walks out of her Cell

Tifa Lockheart picks herself up

Aeris Gainsborough says, "What happened?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "What's going on?"

Red XIII sniffs around

Cloud Strife shrugs

Barret Wallace says, "well, I'm not waiting around to find out, let's get moving"

There is a trail of blood

Cloud Strife says, "Shall we follow this?"

Cloud Strife eyes the blood speculatively

Barret Wallace says, "I guess"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "hmm"

Cloud Strife says, "Red... wanna lead the way?"

Red XIII says, "sure Cloud"

Red XIII sniffs and leads them off

Red XIII says, "follow me"

Cloud Strife follows Red

Red XIII leads them up to the floor under the prez's office... where the trail stops

Barret Wallace says, "Man ... look at all the dead"

Tifa Lockheart says, "This is unnerving"

Barret Wallace looks at the stairs that lead up the prez's office

Tifa Lockheart says, "Who could have done this?"

Barret Wallace says, "hmm, I wonder..."

Cloud Strife says, "Lets go up...."

Cloud Strife begins to climb the stairs to the office

Barret Wallace follows Cloud

Red XIII follows

Aeris Gainsborough follows

The Prez is lying over his desk, dead... blood all around...

Barret Wallace says, "YEAH! PRESIDENT SHINRA IS DEAD!"

Barret Wallace celebrates

Cloud Strife folds his arms across his chest

Cloud Strife says, "He deserved it"

Red XIII says, "hmmm"

Aeris Gainsborough nods

Aeris Gainsborough says, "yes"

Barret Wallace says, "It's the end of the ShinRa!"

Cloud Strife shudders... remembering himself and Rufus....

Cloud Strife says, "No... It isn't... the Vice President..."

As if on cue, the helicopter outside whirs to life

Barret Wallace says, "Oh Fuck, RUFUS!"

Barret Wallace lifts up his gun arm

Cloud Strife looks at Barret

Barret Wallace says, "I totally forgot about him!"

Barret Wallace growls

Barret Wallace says, "The President's son..."

Red XIII says, "Never heard of him..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I've heard no one has ever seen him bleed or cry"

Cloud Strife says, "He was always in Junon... only called here.... For 'Special' things...."

The helicopter stops wiring

Barret Wallace says, "I'm gonna pay that little twerp a visit. He's been farther away then that"

Barret Wallace starts to head to the roof exit

Cloud Strife says, "Barret"

Barret Wallace says, "WHAT?"

Cloud Strife gives Barret a look that sends ice through his veins

Barret Wallace backs up

Barret Wallace says, "what the?"

Cloud Strife walks out onto the roof

Aeris Gainsborough looks at Cloud in surprise

Tifa Lockheart says, "What was that all about?"

Barret Wallace follows

Red XIII follows

Aeris Gainsborough follows

Tifa Lockheart shrugs and follows everyone
