Beowolf: Where are we?Meliadoul: How should I know?
Mustadio: That blast from Ajora hurt like...Meliadoul: Hey! I see something!
Agrias: So do I! I think it's... a chocobo?
Mustadio: I thought chocobos only came in yellow, black, and red.
Beowolf: Well... this one's green.Meliadoul: Weird... and someone's on it.
Agrias: Looks like it may be female. What do you think Mustadio?
Mustadio: I could tell you if you got off of me...
Meliadoul: What's that over there? A city?
Mustadio: It looks like a version of my gun, except larger... MUCHlarger...
Meliadoul: Wait! Here she comes!Tifa makes the scene.Beowolf: Who're you?
Tifa: I should be asking you that.
Beowolf: What do you mean? He has a puzzled look on his face.
Tifa: I'm not the one who's dressed in full body armor.
Beowolf: I'll have you know that this is the latest in designer armorą..
Meliadoul: Never mind that, we seem to be lost, which way to GarilandMagic City?
Tifa: Where? There's no such place.
Mustadio: Of course there is! Guess you've never heard of Goug MachineCity?
Tifa: Goug? No, I think I might have remembered that name. She gives
them a look like they are all crazy.
Agrias: Uh, what city is that behind us? She points to the city with abig gun.
Tifa: That's Midgar.Mustadio: Never heard of it.
Tifa: You aren't from around here, are you?
Meliadoul: That may be true. We just came from a battle with a, um, uh,
what do you call it? She ponders the question for a moment.
Tifa: Look, you might as well come back to my place and tell me of yourstory.
Beowolf: Uh, okay.Agrias: Thank you for the hospitality.
Tifa: No Prob. Her face is touched with a tinge of sadness.
Meliadoul: ąBloody Angel, I guess that's what you can call it.
Tifa: Angelą She trails off muttering some words to herself. They then
head to Midgar toward their destination.Scene 2
The six are in a bar titled 7th Heaven, it is hastily put together but
nonetheless, very good craftsmanship. Meliadoul and Tifa are currently
engaged in a conversation.Meliadoul: You don't say? A one winged angel?
Tifa: Yeah. And your angel was a two winged one? Well, it makes no
difference, they both were monsters. (She sighs heavily).
Meliadoul: (Sensing some sorrow in her tone) You're depressed about
something, aren't you?Tifa: You probably wouldn't understand.
Meliadoul: Try me. I've lost a brother, and a father within about a year
(Stretching things, perhaps).
Tifa: Oh, I don't knową. Oh man! I'm so sorry! I forgot to ask you who
you are and tell you who I am! I'm sorry about that!
Meliadoul: Don't worry about it. I'm Meliadoul Tingel, Mustadio enters
with a piece of equipment, and this is Mustadio.
Tifa: Oh! Please put that down! If Barret found out that one of his
gimmick arms was broken, he'd have a fit!!!
Mustadio: Hmmmą doesn't look too dangerous. He fiddles around with the
Maximum Ray and accidentally sets it off, WHOOPS! My Bad!!!
Tifa: ACH!!! She narrowly dodges the bullets of the Maximum Ray around
her feet, Stop that please!!! Mustadio turns off the gun. Meliadoul
simply shakes her head in embarrassment.Meliadoul: Alright, tell me your story.
Tifa: Okay, my name is Tifa Lockhart, and I lost a boyfriend, well not
exactly a boyfriend, and he didn't die, at least I would hope not.
Anyhow, we, my party and I, were watching meteor contained by the
Lifestream. After it died down, we were about to celebrate when our
leader suddenly disappeared and left only his sword, materia, armlet,
and accessories. We looked for him everywhere but it was all for not. He
was gone. A tear slides down Tifa's cheek.
Meliadoul: Our leader, Ramza, was with us until the explosion. That's
when we got here. I assume that he's alright, but I'm not sureą (A tinge
of sorrow and longing appears on Meliadoul's face)Tifa: You love him, don't you?
Meliadoul: (In shock) Whaą meą? I like him and all, but loveą? I umą
wellą (She sidesteps the ques-tion)
Agrias: (Agrias comes in with Cloud's Ultima Weapon) This is a nice
knight sword, what's it called?Tifa: (Sighing) Ultima Weapon.
Agrias: Hmmmą I would've called it Evanescenceą
Meliadoul: (Ignoring the comment) So, what was this boyfriend's name?
Tifa: Cloud. (A sudden hush is heard over the bar)Meliadoul: Cloud?
Agrias: Cloud?Mustadio: Cloud?
Tifa: Cloud. (Looking at everybody) Do you know him?
Meliadoul: So this is our little friend's past, ehą?Tifa: What do you mean?
Agrias: I thought he couldn't use knight swords. And this one's heavy,
too. Even for Knight Sword stan-dards.
Mustadio: Tifa, your boyfriend was that spiky haired guy in weirdclothes?
Tifa: He doesn't like to be called spiky hairedą or I think he doesn'tą
Meliadoul: Was his last name Strife?Tifa: Yes. Why?
Meliadoul: I fought beside him one or so times before. (Lounging
backwards) He was kind of weak in the beginning, but at least he could
beat MalakąMustadio: (Interjecting) A uribo could kick Malak's behind.
Meliadoul: Wellą anyhow, he picked up pretty fast and used really weird
sword skills that required char-ging.
Tifa: That's him! (With much glee and happiness) He's alive! He's alive!
HE'S ALIVE!!!Meliadoul: Woah! Hold on cowgirl!Tifa: I've got to call the others!
Mustadio: Hey, are we gonna see this world some more or what?
Tifa: (On the phone) Cid! Get everyone together! I think I have a clue
where Cloud is!Agrias: (Looking around) Where's Beowulf?
Mustadio: He's taking in some drinks, he keeps mentioning Reis too.
Think he's hungry?Scene 3
(Around the Gold Saucer Desert, aboard the Highwind's main bridge
rebuilt out of steel and other metals)
Tifa: Hey Cid, nice job with the Highwind. It looks like its old selfagain.
Cid: (Slightly peeved) Yeah, well I had to rework the entire *#$%&@*
thing from practically scrap and *$#@.Mustadio: (Observing) You swear a lot.
Cid: You *#$%&@* think so?!
Tifa: (Playing peacekeeper) Please, Cid, they're guests.
Cid: (More peeved) Where to?Tifa: The northern crater.
Cid: Why the *#$% do you want to go there?
Tifa: I heard that some anomalies are going down there. Maybe that's
what brought our guests here, and what might bring Cloud back to us.
Cid: Well hold onto your #$$es, cause Captain Cid Highwind is gonna turn
on a dime here. (He turns and a scream can be heard from below) Whattheą?
Mustadio: (Looking outside the Highwind) It's Meliadoul! You left herbehind!!!
Cid: Can't go back now.Mustadio: Why the hell not!?
Cid: (Extremely Pissed Off now) Cause Ruby Weapon's down in that desert
below us! That thing can kill us all in like one *#$%&@* BLOW!!!
Tifa: (Looking at Mustadio) He's right you know. (Turning to Cid) But we
can't let her die down there.Cid: Yeah yeah.
Tifa: Get everyone together, we're attacking Ruby Weapon. (In runs Red
XIII a.k.a. Nanaki) What is it?
Red XIII: You know that lady on the deck? Meliadoul I believe.
Tifa: Yeah, she fell off. We know. We're going after her.
Red XIII: Ummą that won't be necessary.Tifa: But Ruby's down THERE!!!
Red XIII: She defeated it.Tifa: WHAT!!!
Red XIII: She said some words and swung down with her sword. Then a big
sword just popped up under Ruby and broke her in half.(Enters Yuffie)
Yuffie: (Looking greedily) I want her sword. Hee hee hee.Tifa: Broke in two?
Red XIII: Yeah, in two.Tifa: Wow, that's some power.
(Enter Barret with Meliadoul)
Barret: (With excitement in his face) This girl was da bomb! She crushed
Ruby like it was nothing!Meliadoul: Ruby? So that's its name.
Tifa: How'd you take out Ruby Weapon?Meliadoul: Weapon? So that's why it worked.
Tifa: Come again?
Meliadoul: My Hellcry Punch skill breaks WEAPONS, so when I used the
sword skill, it broke Ruby down.
Yuffie: (Disappointed) Rats, it's just a skill, not the sword.
(Brightening up) Hey, you have any materia?
Meliadoul: Well, Ramza did get some, but he gave it to Cloud. (Yuffie
looks angrily at the floor) (Exit Yuffie with a sick look on her face)
(Enter Agrias, Beowulf, Vincent, and Cait Sith)
All four in unison: What happened?
Cid: Forget about it, we're heading to the Northern Crater. So buckle up
and hold your beverages, cause we're blasting off now! (The Highwind jets come out and blasts them ahead)
