FADE IN

INT. SHINRA TOWER – PRESIDENT’S OFFICE – DAY

The body of PRESIDENT SHINRA is lifted off of the desk by a SHINRA SOLDIER and thrown into a cart. The new president of Shinra, RUFUS, enters with a bandaged shoulder.

SHINRA SOLDIER #11

Where shall I take the body, sir? Anything special?

RUFUS

No. Just get rid of it.

SHINRA SOLDIER #11

With all due respect sir, he was the president of the company.

RUFUS

Was! Not anymore.

(BEAT)

Throw him the in the furnace.

SHINRA SOLDIER #11

Yes, sir.

The soldier starts to push the cart away.

RUFUS

Oh,

The soldier stops.

RUFUS

(CONT.)

And get a squad together and clean this place.

SHINRA SOLDIER #11

Right away sir.

The soldier pushes the cart toward the door and out of the room. Just as he exits, HEIDEGGER enters the office.

RUFUS

(sitting down at his new desk)

Heidegger!

HEIDEGGER

Congratulations on the promotion, Mr. President.

RUFUS

This desk still stinks of the old man.

A beat.

RUFUS

What you don’t know Heidegger is that you too are getting a promotion.

HEIDEGGER

Sir?

RUFUS

You will continue as Head of Public Safety and Maintenance. However I’m putting you in as my right-hand man.

HEIDEGGER

Vice President?

RUFUS

No. I need no vice president.

(BEAT)

You and Scarlet are the only ones who truly have an understanding of the power of fear.

HEIDEGGER

Then why not Scarlet?

RUFUS

She’s doing fine in her place as Head of Weapon Development. I don’t want to put any extra pressure on her.

HEIDEGGER

I see.

Rufus stands up.

RUFUS

AVALANCHE has escaped. Did you hear?

HEIDEGGER

Yes. I hear that Sephiroth has escaped as well. He left quite mess.

RUFUS

Shinra has two adversaries now, Heidegger.

HEIDEGGER

We will crush them both with ease.

RUFUS

If there’s one thing my father taught me, it’s to never underestimate your enemies. Sephiroth is quite powerful.

Rufus picks up Sephiroth’s bloody sword from off his desk.

RUFUS

Look at this.

Rufus attempts to wave the sword around but it is too heavy for any swift maneuvers.

RUFUS

Sephiroth is indeed strong. The only person who knows his secrets is Hojo.

Rufus hands Heidegger the sword.

RUFUS

(CONT.)

Which is why you are going to give him this. Have him analyze it. See if he can find its origin.

Heidegger props the sword up on his shoulder.

HEIDEGGER

I’ll give it to Hojo.

The office doors open and REEVE enters. Rufus looks over and sees him.

RUFUS

Reeve. I’m grateful you survived the attack.

REEVE

Thank you.

RUFUS

What can I do for you?

Rufus signals to Heidegger. Heidegger nods and leaves the room.

REEVE

I’m sorry about your father. He was a great man at handling money. He always knew what he wanted.

RUFUS

Enough about the old man. What do you want?

REEVE

With your father dead, I want to know where Shinra is headed. Your father wanted to restart the Neo-Midgar project.

RUFUS

I know.

Rufus sits back down in his desk.

REEVE

I am concerned about the amount of money the attack on Sector 7 cost Shinra.

RUFUS

What are you concerned about?

REEVE

It will cost millions to repair the damage. Your father said he didn’t want to rebuild, thus eliminating all our outside income from the Sector 7 slums.

RUFUS

I know.

REEVE

Well, we need that extra income.

RUFUS

I understand your concern, Reeve. However, we won’t need that extra income when we reach the Promised Land.

REEVE

But your father—

RUFUS

(interrupting)

You don’t work for my father! You work for me now.

(BEAT)

I don’t care about this money bullshit. We’ll have all the money in the world when we harvest the Promised Land. Right now, fear is the most important thing, not money. Now will that be all, Reeve?

Reeve sighs.

REEVE

Yes, sir.

EXT. OUTSIDE MIDGAR GATES – DAY

A steel rope-like twine wiggles as CLOUD climbs down. After Cloud reaches the bottom, BARRET with RED XIII clinging onto his back climbs to the ground. When they reach the ground Red XIII jumps off Barret’s back.

BARRET

(sarcastically)

Could you hold on any tighter?

RED XIII

Well it was a long climb down, my friend.

TIFA and AERIS climb down and reach the bottom. Tifa looks at the gates of Midgar.

TIFA

So this is it?

AERIS

This is what?

TIFA

We’re leaving Midgar. I spent the past eight years there.

CLOUD

We should get going.

RED XIII

Where exactly?

Cloud looks out into the open world and sees nothing but hills and plains.

CLOUD

Wherever Sephiroth is going, I’ll follow.

BARRET

Alright I’ve had enough. What’s the deal with you and this Sephiroth?

Cloud stares at Barret briefly before answering.

CLOUD

I’ll tell you all,

(BEAT)

Soon.

RED XIII

This doesn’t quite answer my question. Where are we going?

BARRET

There’s a small town called Kalm, northeast of here. We should stop there for some food.

TIFA

He’s right. I haven’t eaten all day.

CLOUD

Okay then. When we get there, I’ll tell you about me and Sephiroth.

AERIS

How far away is Kalm?

BARRET

Couple hours.

RED XIII

Enough talk, please. Like all of you, I’m hungry. So can we please?

The group starts walking out into the open world northeast toward Kalm.

EXT. OPEN WORLD – HILLTOP – (LATER THAT) DAY

The group walks to the top of a hill. They see a small village about two miles away.

BARRET

(pointing)

Kalm.

CLOUD

Let’s go.

The group continues its journey to Kalm.

EXT. KALM – STREETS – DAY

They enter the town of Kalm. The streets are made of black stone and the buildings are built in an old Victorian style. An old windmill blows in the center of the town. Townspeople walk about the streets.

AERIS

So this is Kalm, eh?

RED XIII

It would appear so.

TIFA

Nice place.

Aeris walks inward a bit and smiles at the sight of the people.

AERIS

It’s so peaceful.

Some tears develop in her eyes.

CLOUD

What’s wrong?

AERIS

It’s so great to see people who aren’t suffering.

(MORE)

AERIS

(BEAT)

My whole life I’ve been around the suffering of the slums. Seeing this place gives me hope that those people can live in a better place.

BARRET

That’s what this whole mission is about, Aeris.

TIFA

Yeah. We’re here to save the planet and end Shinra’s oppression.

Cloud starts to walk toward the shops.

BARRET

Where you goin’?

CLOUD

You said you were hungry. Get some food then.

(jokingly)

If not, we can resort to eating Red, here.

RED XIII

How about not?

INT. KALM – TAVERN – DAY

The group walks over to an open table and sits down. Barret unscrews his gun-arm and places it next to him on the floor. Cloud places his sword up against the wall.

AERIS

(looking at Barret’s missing right hand)

How it happen?

Barret looks up.

AERIS

Your hand, I mean.

Barret sighs.

BARRET

Long story.

Cloud stands up from the table.

CLOUD

You guys wait here.

TIFA

Where you going?

CLOUD

To buy a few things.

As Cloud starts to leave, Red XIII goes to follow.

RED XIII

Mind if I join you?

CLOUD

No.

(to Barret)

Save some for us.

Barret waves and Cloud and Red XIII leave.

EXT. KALM – STREETS – DAY

Cloud and Red XIII walk out onto the streets of Kalm.

RED XIII

So tell me my boy, why’d you really leave?

CLOUD

To avoid all the annoying small talk.

RED XIII

Fair enough. I’d do the same.

CLOUD

I hate it when people ask questions and that that “get to know you” stuff.

RED XIII

So where you headed?

CLOUD

There’s got to be a shop that sells materia here.

Cloud and Red XIII walk into --

INT. KALM – SHOP – DAY

Unlike the shop in the slums, this one has a few customers inside. Cloud and Red XIII walk up to the counter. Everyone inside stares at Red XIII.

PROPRIETOR

What are you supposed to be?

RED XIII

Does that matter now?

The PROPRIETOR squints his eyes at Red XIII then looks to Cloud.

PROPRIETOR

What can I do for ya’?

CLOUD

I’m with a group,

(BEAT)

A traveling group. We need some sleeping materials if you’ve got them.

PROPRIETOR

A traveling group, eh? Well you’re in luck.

The proprietor goes to the shelves and grabs several blankets. As he grabs them Cloud notices two green materia spheres hidden in the back.

PROPRIETOR

(placing blankets on front desk)

Here you go. It’s not much but good enough I’d say.

CLOUD

And how much for that materia in the back?

The proprietor looks and sees the two spheres. A few beats; then

PROPRIETOR

You’re the second guy to ask me about them.

CLOUD

Who was before us?

PROPRIETOR
