Rufus ShinRa is watching the people build the structure.

Rufus Shinra you saw cloud a little while ago come up and say stuff to Rufus, but you couldn't hear very well.

Rufus Shinra his single eye glows

Rude walks over to Rufus

Rude "So where is everyone"

Rufus looks at him, arms crossed.

Rufus "meaning? People are everywhere"

Rude "never mind, what do you want me to do now"

Rufus "continue... it is almost finished now"

Rude goes over and continues to build

Rude stops building for a second

Rude looks over at Rufus

Rude "wait a minute"

Rufus watches the work being done

Rude "um, Rufus I have a quick question?

Rufus looks at rude

Rufus "yes?"

Rude "I just thought of something, what happened to you after the room was destroyed by weapon?"

Rufus flicks his hair back

Rude "shouldn't you be dead?"

Rufus "that's what they say"

Rude "well then how are you walking around then?"

Rufus "how do you think?"

Rude "that's why I asked"

Rufus shrugs

Rude "I can figure out quite a bit, but being blown to bits doesn't make it easy to come back"

Rufus has only lost an eye from that too

Rude "and how did you lose your eye?"

Rufus "Shrapnel"

Rude "if shrapnel hit your eye, why didn't it kill you"

Rude "you would think it would have hit the brain"

Rufus runs his fingers over the scar

Rufus "it ran down"

Rude "that still doesn't explain how you managed to survive the blast"

Rude "what happened after the shots hit the building"

Rufus looks blankly at him

Rude starts to think to himself that maybe this isn't Rufus

Rude "and why are we rebuilding the temple anyway"

Rufus "for the planet"

Rude "It held no real importance to the Shin..."

Rude pauses in thought for a moment

Rude "why do we build something that held the most dangerous thing on the planet, to help the planet?"

Rufus "is that what you think is going on?"

Rufus chuckles

Rude "I'm not sure what's going on that's why im asking"

Rufus "no one knows"

Rufus "other then the planet and the Cetra

Rude stares at Rufus with an expression of wonder

Rude "your not building this to help the planet are you"

Rufus "yes I am"

Rufus flicks his hair back

Rufus "the planet is dying, it must be healed"

Rude "and the temple will help it?"

Rufus "for that, it needs spirit energy"

Rude!

Rude "that's why were here"

Rufus folds his arms

Rude starts to back away from Rufus slowly

Rude "you need our spirits to rebuild the planet"

Rufus his single eye blinks

Rufus a few people look at rude with concern

Rude looks around

Rude does not like the way this day is turning out

Man whispers "you should get back to work before something happens"

Rude looks at the man

Rude raises an eyebrow

Rude whispers "I don't think it matters, either way were all dead"

Man whispers "would you rather die now for sure? I mean, look at him"

Rude looks at Rufus

Rude whispers "there's only one way out of here"

Rufus watches him with his single eye

Rufus flicks his hair back

Rude goes back over and starts working again

Rude "you know its true what I said yesterday"

Rufus "which was?"

Rude "you're turning out just like your father"

Rufus "why do you say that?

Rude flips around and looks Rufus straight in his one eye

Rude "you don't care what happens to anyone"

Rufus "the planet must be healed"

Rude "you sacrifice anyone and everything to get what you want"

Rude "there's got to be a better way to do it"

Rude "how many people must be sacrificed to heal the planet"

Rufus shakes his head

Rufus "depends on how badly the planet is hurt"

Rude "if you sacrifice everyone then what good would it do us"

Rufus "right now it is dying"

Rufus "all because of the stupidity of the people on it"

Rude "and who was draining the power out of it in the first place?"

Rufus "the ones who created me"

Rude "you helped"

Rufus flicks his hair back again

Rude "you ordered the construction of the Sister Ray"

Rude "that helped in the planets destruction"

Rufus "no, it delayed it by helping to stop Sephiroth"

Rude "when you got control of the planet, and the meteor was coming you almost destroyed it by using the huge materia"

Rufus stares at him blankly

Rude "well, what's the response to that one"

Rufus "now the planet must be healed"

Rude "you were as much responsible for the destruction of this planet as much as everyone else is"

Rude "by sacrificing us all"

Rude "that makes since"

Rude gets back to work

Rufus "sacrifice is necessary"

Rude "then sacrifice your self"

Rude " why must we pay for your arrogance"

Rufus stays quiet

Rude grins

Rude "won't answer that one will you"

Rufus just looks at him

Rufus "it was not my arrogance:

Rude "thought so"

Rude "how do you figure"

Rude "but why must we get sacrificed. We are your friends"

Rufus "did I say that?"

Rude "then why are we here?"

Rufus "because you are here"

Rufus flicks his hair back

Rude shakes his head and gets back to work

Rude "Rufus hers one for you, of all the people in the world, why would the planet choose a soulless creature to heal it?"

Rufus "I am a Cetra"

Rude "Cetra?"

Rude "when did you become a Cetra"

Rufus "born"

Rude "I was born too Rufus, what difference does that make"

Rufus "you are not a Cetra"

Rude "so how did you become a Cetra"

Rufus "I was born one"

Rude "does that mean your father was a Cetra?"

Rufus "no, my mother"

Rude "who was your mother?"

Rufus "I never knew her"

Rufus "I was born in a ShinRa lab"

Rude "so your father wasn't your father?"

Rufus "no"

Rude "so then who was your father?"

Rufus "Professor Gast"

Rude "Gast!"

Rufus "the most brilliant mind on the planet"

Rufus flicks his hair back

Rufus his eye blinks at rude

Rude "if he was the most brilliant man on the planet he made a big mistake"

Rufus "yes... he thought Jenova was an ancient..."

Rude "no he made an even bigger one"

Rufus shakes his head

Rufus "I was not conceived that way"

Rufus "Aeris was to them though"

Rude "He still made you"

Rude "doesn't matter how you do it"

Rufus "I was born from a seraget mother... the same as Sephiroth's true mother"

Rufus "she was filled with Jenova cells"

Rude "you and Seph had the same mother"

Rufus "sort of"

Rufus "we had the same birth mother... and Jenova...

Rufus "but, my birth mother was not my genetic mother"

Rude "dang man lets hope your birth mother didn't have any more kids"

Rufus "no, she died after sephiroth"

Rude "thank god"

Rufus folds his arms

Rude "you don't like me do you?"

Rufus "you do not like me"

Rude "you haven't given me a reason to"

Rude "you hold me here against my will"

Rude "keep me from my wife"

Rufus "you are supposed to be here if you are here"

Rude "you're just trying to justify your actions"

Rufus "meaning?"

Rude "you just keep telling us that because you're trying to make yourself believe that"

Rufus "oh?"

Rude "I think you actually succeeded"

Rufus "what do you mean?"

Rude "you actually believe that we are going to heal the planet"

Rufus "and why do you think im doing this then?"

Rufus "that's is what Im going to do"

Rude "try to do"

Rufus "then, whit is it that you think is the truth if I have mearly convinced myself of this?"

Rude "just because your doing something you think is good, doesn't mean your going to succeed"

Rude "you don't know what you're doing"

Rufus "really?"

Rude "if your trying to help the planet why are we building this bloody thing"

Rufus flicks his hair back

Rufus "it is almost done"

Rude "what good is the temple going to do?"

Rude "it was the black materia"

Rufus flicks his hair back

Rude "sephiroth had it last I knew"

Rufus "it was more then just that"

Rude "explain"

Rude "what was it other than a death trap"

Rufus "it was a treasure house of knowledge and wisdom."

Rufus "and that is what it will be again."

Rude "Of the greatest destructive force in the universe

Rude " why don't you just transform the black materia back into the temple"

Rude "wouldn't that be quicker and easier?"
