Marlene: Look! Look! It's the flower lady! (Jumps up and down)
Vincent: And Sephiros...
Aeris and Biggs come to....
Aeris: (in a weak voice) What's going on?
Cloud rushes to Aeris.
Cloud: Aeris? Is it really you?
Aeris: Cloud? Wha.... what's going on?
Cloud: Aeris! It's so good to see you again! (Embraces her)
Aeris: Cloud...
Tifa: (putting hands on hips) Oh great. The competition's back. (Rolls eyes)
Cid: Hey, great to have ya back Aeris!
Barret: Ditto man!
Yuffie searches the rest of the unconscious party for materia. She is disappointed when she finds none. Sephiroth begins to come to...
Tifa: (jumping back) He's getting ready to attack!
Everyone draws his/her weapons.
Sephiroth: Aw, man, am I dead yet? (Rubs the back of his head)
He looks up and sees everyone with his/her weapons drawn, all pointed at him.
Sephiroth: Holy $hit! Cool it man! Back off! (Backs up against the wall)
Cloud: Why should we?!
Vincent: Yeah, why?!! (shoots his gun at Sephiroth)
At that exact same time, Wedge comes to and stands up. He is hit in the chest by Vincent's bullet.
Wedge: Aaaaaaaahhh!! Not again!! (falls over railing, off the Highwind to his doom)
Vincent: Ooops...
Sephiroth: I said back off, man!! Damn!! Look, I was just miraculously reviving in my crater. I thought, damn, my dream come true! My days of revenge are finally here! Then, all of a sudden, these sailor girls appear out of nowhere, and then BAM!! One of them smacks me upside the head with her stupid rod! After that, I don't know what happened!
Cloud: Liar!
Sephiroth: The sailor senshi stole my place as a villain, you turd! There's nothing left for me to do but die! But before I do that, I have to do something first! I won't die just yet!
Cloud: Why not you lousy bastard?
Sephiroth: Because!! I wanna see my mama!
Everyone is silent. Vincent drops his gun and turns around.
Cid: What that gotta do wit' me? Huh? Yo mama got nuttin' to do wit' gettin' Shera back!
Sephiroth: Yo mama!!
Cid: Ey!! Leave my mama outta this!!
Sephiroth: Look!! I'll strike a deal with you clods! I know where the sailor senshi hideout is. I'll take you to where they are, but only if you take me to where my mama is!
Cid: But who is your mother? Huh?
Sephiroth: I was hoping maybe you guys would know. If I knew, I'd be dead by now!
Everyone sighs, then roll their eyes.
Cid: (getting a cigarette) Then you find yo mama! We need to get Shera and the materia back!!
Sephiroth: Yo mama, foo'!!
Cid: Yo mama!!
Sephiroth: Yo mama!
Cid: Yo mama!!
Cloud: Hey, hey hey!! Okay! Sephiroth, we accept your little deal, but on one condition...give us all your materia.
Sephiroth: I don't have any materia.
Yuffie: It's true...
Cid: If YUFFIE says it's true, then he don't got no materia.
Cloud: Okay, okay, then how do we find his mother? How do we know she's not dead? How do we know she's not a he right now?
Tifa: Knock it off Cloud!
Cid: If we had Shera here, we wouldn't have to be using our @#$$%^# brains to figure this out! I don't even know why we're doin' this!
Vincent: You don't need Shera for this one.
Cid: Why don't we need Shera? We don't even have the slightest clue as to where to begin!
Vincent: Fly the Highwind to the cave north of Nibelheim.
Tifa: Lucrecia? Lucrecia's cave? How can she help us?
Cid: 'scuse him Tifa, he still can't get over her and Hojo.
Vincent becomes enraged and begins to tremble and growl.
Barret: Whoa, whoa, calm down, Vincent. Nice Vincent. No need for a shit attack right now!
Tifa: Yeah, Vinny, yeah. Cid was just playin', right Cid? (Eyes him)
Cloud: Yeah, he can't help fallin' in love with Shera.
Cid blushes at this.
Cid: Ey! @#$%^ you and your @#$%^ mama!
Cloud: Yo mama!
Cid: Yo mama!
Vincent calms down.
Sephiroth: Hellooooooo!!! Can we find my mama now?
Cid: Yo mama!
Sephiroth: Yo mama!
Cid: Yo mama!
Vincent: Shut the hell up!!! Fly the damn Highwind to Lucrecia's cave!
Barret: Look, Vincent, man, we know you loved this woman, but ya gotta put the past behind ya, all right? All of us got problems, okay?
Vincent: You moron!! Lucrecia is Sephiroth's mother!!
All are shocked.
Cid: You're in love with Sephiroth's mother? That's @#$%^^ up!!
Sephiroth: You're in love with my mama, Vincent?
Vincent: ( to Cid ) At least I don't pretend to hate her.
Cid: @%^#%^* you!!
Tifa: (sighs) In any event, let's go to Lucrecia's cave.
At Lucrecia's cave...
Cloud: Hello?! Anyone home?
Tifa: Hellooooo!!!!
Cid: Damn, it's cold in here! (Cigarette blows out) Dammit!!
Lucrecia is startled to hear voices.
Lucrecia: Hello? Who's there? (Looks at Cloud, Tifa, and Cid) Oh, it's you guys! What brings you all here?
Lucrecia: Whatever for?
Tifa: (drags her by the arm) You'll see. C'mon!
All four exit Lucrecia's cave. Lucrecia's eyes widen at the sight of Vincent. She almost hadn't recognized him with the long hair and vampire look.
Lucrecia: Vincent? Is that you?
Vincent: Rukre, it's been a long time.
Lucrecia runs up to him and embraces him.
Lucrecia: It's really been a long time.
She gasps at the sight of his claw-arm.
Lucrecia: Vincent..what..what happened to your..arm?
Vincent: Your beloved Hojo did this.
Lucrecia: Oh my god... (puts hands to her mouth) Hojo...did that?
Vincent: Yes, he did.
Lucrecia: Vince, I'm so sorry...
Vincent: It was not your fault. Don't apologize for that bastard.
Cloud: Ahem!
Vincent: Oh yeah, Rukre, I'd like you to meet Sephiros, your son.
Lucrecia: My.....son? (Looks at Sephiroth) You're my....son? (Takes his hands in hers)
Sephiroth: You're my...mother??
Lucrecia: (begins to cry) Oh, how I've dreamed of the day I'd get to see you! (Embraces him)
Sephiroth: Mama..... (hugs her more tightly)
Later, all are aboard the Highwind.
Lucrecia: I'd like to come with you all on your journey. I may be of some help to you.
Sephiroth: Mama!! It's too dangerous!
Cloud: You may come with us, Lucrecia.
Lucrecia: Thank you, Cloud. (Gets up) Well, Sephiroth and I need to talk privately. There is still much to catch up on. Excuse us.
Barret: Go ahead, Lucrecia.
Sephiroth: We'll be in the operation room if you need us.
Lucrecia and Sephiroth leave to the operation room.
Tifa: (when they were gone) Vincent, so tell us, how did you fall in love with Lucrecia, and how can Sephiroth be her son and be the same age as you and her?
Cloud: Tifa!
Vincent: No, it's all right. It happened like this...
Vincent tells them what happened in Nibelheim when he was a Turk.
Barret: (when Vincent was done) Wow! Now THAT'S a problem!
Cid: (smoking a new cigarette) Yeah, a major #$%^ up problem!
Cloud: Man! We knew Hojo had been with Lucrecia and that they had a baby together, but we didn't think that it could be Sephiroth!
Yuffie: You are sooo pathetic Cloud.
Marlene suddenly taps Vincent's shoulder.
Marlene: Mr. Valentine, how come your hand is like that? (Points to claw-arm)
Everyone turns and stares at Marlene.
Marlene: (shrinks back) Sorry....
Vincent: Well, Marlene, Professor Hojo did experiments on me. He scientifically altered me, thus the reason I can transform into beasts.
Tifa: That was so cruel of Hojo. Imagine what else he could have done!
Cid: Yeah, well @#$%^& that! (Reaches over to his ice chest and grabs a cold one. He then pops it open.) I don't see how that's gonna help us get Shera back!
Cloud: (annoyed) Cid, why are you all of a sudden determined to get Shera back? Aren't you always telling her to go to hell?
Cid: Because!.......(blushes).....we....we need her to devise a strategy against the sailor senshi!
Tifa: Cid, I thought YOU always wanted to be leader. You never even let Shera PARTICIPATE in these events!
Cid: Ummm......umm....shaddap!!
Vincent: I do believe you are busted, Cid.
Yuffie: Yeah, he probably took my Hanson CD too.
Cid: Ahhh!!!! Shut the @#$%^ up! (Throws her the half full beer can)
The beer can hits Yuffie on the head, knocking her senseless. Soon after, Lucrecia and Sephiroth come back up to the deck. Lucrecia sits down next to Vincent, while Sephiroth sits next to Biggs. Suddenly, Sephiroth jumps up.
Sephiroth: Ouch!! This damn blade itches!! (pulls out Masamune to adjust it, and accidentally stabs Biggs in the process.)
Biggs: Aaaahhhh!! DAMN YOU!!!!!! (falls overboard to his doom)
Sephiroth: Oops...(puts the Masamune back in the case)
Lucrecia: Sephiroth, who taught you to kill like that?
Vincent: Rukre.....
Lucrecia: What Vince?
Cloud: If you only knew, Lucrecia.
Cid: Let's just go rescue Shera, okay?
All: Okay...
Sephiroth: Take the Highwind to the crater. I'll lead you to their location.
At the sailor senshi hideout.....
Mercury: They're coming.
Jupiter: Yes, I can feel it too.
Venus: What do we do?
Uranus: We fight back.
Pluto: No, wait. They won't attack.
Venus: Why won't they?
Pluto: Because, (looks at Shera, who is tied to a chair) we have a hostage. They won't eliminate our hideout without trying to save her.
Uranus: What if they leave her like they left those other two?
Pluto: They were different. They die in every story, so it didn't matter. But they'll come for this one, count on it.
Venus: What makes you so sure?
Pluto: Before we attacked Cid Highwind, we did a little spying. We noticed the way she always obeyed him, the way she would look at him, the way she would always put up with his abusive language to her. She is in love with Cid Highwind. That is why she won't leave him. No doubt he'll be the one to rescue her.
StarHealer: Brilliant thinking! But how can we use her to our advantage?
Mercury: Simple. We exchange her for the last of the materia. This time, they WILL give us the materia.
Mars: (turns to Shera) Whaddya say, little girl? You wanna go back with Cid? We know you wanna be with him.
Shera: Shut up!! I am not a little girl!! When I get outta here, it'll be personal between me and you!
Mars: But until then....(slaps Shera, then punches her out)
Pluto: They are here.
Jupiter: Let's go out and greet them, shall we?
The other senshi nod.
At the crater entrance...
Cloud: Okay, it's best to split into two groups, so we won't alert them. One group will go left, one group will go right. Tifa, Barret will follow me down the right path. Vincent, Lucrecia, and Cid, you guys go down the left path. Yuffie and Aeris, you both stay and guard the Highwind and Marlene.
Sephiroth: (looking around) And me???
Cloud: Didn't you say as soon as you saw your mother, you were going to kill yourself?
Sephiroth: I changed my mind.
Cid: (rolls eyes) Then hurry the @#$%^& up and decide who you're gonna go with!!
Sephiroth: All right!! All right!! I'll go with my mother!!
Cid: (to himself) Great...
Lucrecia: All right, Seph, let's go. (Takes his hand in hers)
Sephiroth: Mama!! I'm too old to be taken by the hand!!
Lucrecia: Nonsense Sephy!! You're only five years old! (Turns to Vincent) Vince, promise me you'll protect my baby.
Sephiroth: Mama!! You're embarrassing me! (Tries to wiggle hi hand out of her hand's grasp)
Vincent: Rukre, Sephiroth is....
Lucrecia: Please!! (looks at him with begging eyes)
Vincent: Okay, okay, I promise.
Cloud: Okay, everyone. Move out!
In a split second, everyone is gone.
Yuffie: (calls out after them) Bring my materia back safely!!
With Cid's group...
Cid: How much farther is it to their @#$%^& hideout?!!
Sephiroth: Just beyond the corner, moron, where I was before they whacked me. (Points to corner)
He had somehow managed to break free from Lucrecia's grasp.
Cid: Yo Seph, I've been itchin' to ask ya, why DID you want to take over the world and find the Promised Land?
Sephiroth: I guess it was just a phase. I thought it was cool at the time.
Lucrecia turns at this and stares hard at Sephiroth.
Lucrecia: You tried to take over the world? How come you never told me?
Vincent: It's in the past, Rukre.
Lucrecia suddenly loses her footing.
Lucrecia: Help!! I'm....(falls over ledge) VIIIIINCEEEEENT!!!!!!!!
Vincent: Rukre!!!!!
Sephiroth: Maaaaamaaaaa!!!!
Cid: CAN WE GO GET SHERA NOW!!!!
Cid, Sephiroth, and Vincent all run down to where Lucrecia had landed.
Vincent: Are you okay? (Kneels beside her)
Sephiroth: Mama, are you all right? (Kneels too)
Lucrecia: I seem to be okay....
Cid: Watch your damn footing next time!!
Sephiroth: (stands up and faces Cid) Ey!! Watch what you say to my mama, foo'!!
Cid: Yo mama!!
Sephiroth: Yo mama!!
Cid: Yo mama!!
Sephiroth: Yo mama!!
Cid: Yo mama!!
Lucrecia: (crying out suddenly) OWWWW!! My ankle!!!
Cid: (throws up his hands) What about it?!! Let's get goin'!
Vincent: (examines Lucrecia's ankle) Looks like you sprained it.
Cid plops to the floor and sits down Indian style. He takes out a cigarette and begins to puff.
Cid: Tell me when you're ready to go, dammit.
Vincent picks up Lucrecia.
Vincent: Let's go Cid. There's nothing we can do for Rukre here.
Lucrecia: Thank you, Vince.
When they arrive at the sailor senshi hideout entrance...
Vincent: (whispering) Doesn't look like anyone's around.
Cid: (whispering) Good. That means their @#$%^& lives are spared.
Sephiroth: It's too easy. Where are they?
Vincent puts down Lucrecia in a corner.
Vincent: Rukre, stay here.
Lucrecia: Where am I gonna go?
"Hold it right there."
Vincent, Cid, and Sephiroth turn around and face all 12 sailor senshi, with Shera.
Cid: (cigarette falls from his mouth) Holy @$#%^!!!
Vincent: There are a lot of them.
Sephiroth: Who cares? (Draws Masamune) Let's get this over with!!
Saturn: Halt! (Points Silence Glaive at Sephiroth's throat) Let's get right to the point.
Uranus: Space Sword! (Points sword at Shera's chest)
Mars: Mars Flame Sniper! (Points arrow to Shera's neck)
They are trapped.
Neptune: Give us the last of your materia, or she'll suffer a very, very cruel death.
Cid: Goddamn @#$%^&*, let her go!!!
Venus: Before we do that, little Shera here has a deep dark secret she would like to tell you Cid.
Mars: Yeah, go on, say it. (Inches arrow closer to Shera's neck)
Shera: Cid....(feels heat from arrow)
Mars: Say it!! (puts point of arrow on Shera's neck)
Shera: (struggling) AHHHHH!!!! Stop it!! It burns!!
Mars: Then say it!!
Cid: Leave her alone you @#$%^&!!! (runs towards them)
Sailor StarHealer runs forward too.
StarHealer: Star Sensitive Inferno!!
The attack hits Cid, sending him flying back with an amazing force.
Cid: Yeoow! (Hits a wall)
Mars: Hurry up missie!! (puts flame arrow on her neck again)
Shera: Oww!! Stop it!! It burns!!! (tries to move arrow)
Vincent: (pulls out materia box and throws it at the senhi) Let her go now!!
Sailor Venus picks up the materia box.
Mars: (takes arrow off of Shera's neck) Well, little girl, had enough? Ready to tell Cid how you feel about him?
Cid: What the @#%^ are ya talkin' about? I know she hates my guts!! Let her go!! A deal's a deal, remember?
Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus free Shera.
Shera: Cid!! (tries to run)
Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune catch her. Sailor Uranus then puts an arm around her neck and begins to choke her.
Uranus: Tell him! He's dyin' to know!
Shera: Ci... ughh...err...(tries to pull off Sailor Uranus' arm, but to no avail)
Sephiroth: Think fast! (Swings Masamune and knocks Sailor Saturn's glaive out of her hand)
Sephiroth then charges forward in an attempt to reach Shera, but Sailor Pluto knocks his Masamune out of his hands with her Garnet Rod. Sailor Mercury , Sailor Venus, and Sailor Jupiter then attack.
Mercury: Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!
Jupiter: Jupiter Oak Evolution!
Venus: Venus Love and Beauty Shock!
Sephiroth: Holy @#$%^&*!!!!!!!
Sephiroth is knocked unconscious.
Lucrecia: Sephiroth!!! (crawls over to him)
Shera: Cid...I.....I....
Uranus: Go on... (tightens grip)
Shera: I....(struggling) Cid.....I......I....
Cid: Dammit Shera! Just hurry up and say it so they won't hurt you anymore!
Sailor Uranus tightens her grip all she can.
Shera: Eeerrrggg.... I, I love you Cid!! I love (gasping for air) you.... (passes out shortly after)
Sailor Uranus merely drops her. Then all of the senshi retreat, along with the materia.
Cid: Shera!! (runs towards her) Shera!! Shera! (Takes her in his arms) Speak to me!!! Shera! You @#$%^&*&^%$#@!!!! (pulls her close to him)
Vincent: We should get out of here.
Cloud and the others arrive.
Cloud: (with sword in hand) Are we late? Where are they?! I'll slash 'em! (Swings sword around) I'll rescue Shera from them!
Vincent: Aya, Cloud, you are a little late.
Cid picks up Shera and walks out without a word.
