BUGENHAGEN (V.O.)

Time is growing thin. Shinra’s secrets have poisoned this planet.

FADE IN

INT. COSMO CANYON – OBSERVATORY – DAY

BUGENHAGEN, an elderly priest-like scientist paces around in his observatory. He is dressed in a purple robe had wearing circular glasses.

BUGENHAGEN

(talking to himself)

Something is amiss. Why is there even more unrest? Is the planet that close to dying?

Bugenhagen walks to a control counsel and presses a button. A 3D image of the planet shoots up from the floor. The image planet looks to be dying.

BUGENHAGEN

What can I do? What can I do to help you?

INT. PRESIDENT’S CAR – DAY

RUFUS and HEIDEGGER sit in Rufus’ presidential car as it speeds down the road. Rufus is looking at a black-and-white photograph of Bugenhagen.

HEIDEGGER

That’s him.

RUFUS

(looking at the photo)

Bugenhagen. I hear he’s a man filled with so much knowledge that he rivals Professor Gast.

HEIDEGGER

The man hasn’t done anything though. He’s up in a small village in Cosmo Canyon.

RUFUS

Why don’t we just talk to Hojo?

HEIDEGGER

Hojo’s given us everything he knows about Sephiroth. This Bugenhagen definitely knows something.

Rufus tosses the photo on the floor of the car.

RUFUS

Bring him in. Arrest him. Do whatever.

HEIDEGGER

But sir, our own laws-

RUFUS

(interrupting)

If there’s anything you learn from me, learn this.

(BEAT)

We make these “laws” thus we are above them.

Heidegger laughs.

RUFUS

(CONT.)

If Mr. Bugenhagen here can find Sephiroth for me and ultimately lead Shinra to the Promised Land then I want him here!

HEIDEGGER

Understood.

RUFUS

I want him back at Shinra Tower. I’ll question him, and then we leave for Junon.

HEIDEGGER

Yes, the ceremony.

EXT. KALM – STREETS – DAY

CLOUD, BARRET, RED XIII, and TIFA stand outside the Kalm Inn.

BARRET

You think we got enough rest?

CLOUD

We got enough for where we’re going.

RED XIII

Speaking of which, where exactly are we going?

BARRET

Hell if I know. Tifa?

TIFA

(shrugs)

I don’t know.

The group looks at Cloud.

CLOUD

Well,

AERIS interrupts as she runs toward them.

AERIS

Hey!

She reaches them and starts to catch her breath. Cloud notices a small box in her hand.

CLOUD

What’s that?

Aeris opens the box revealing two cellular phone-like devices.

AERIS

(picking one out of the box)

It’s a PHS. We can keep in contact with each other.

Cloud and Barret each take one.

CLOUD

How much did these cost?

AERIS

(hesitant)

Nothing.

Barret looks to the distance at one of the shops. He sees an angry CLERK looking around.

BARRET

I think it’s best if we leave.

They turn and see the clerk.

CLOUD

(pocketing his PHS)

Right.

They all quickly walk down the streets exiting the town.

EXT. OPEN WORLD – (LATER THAT) DAY

The group, all exhausted except Cloud, walks the plains of the planet. The sky is clear and the grass is green.

TIFA

(fatigued)

How much farther?

CLOUD

You’re tired?

RED XIII

I think we’re all tired.

AERIS

He’s right. We’ve been walking for hours.

BARRET

Some rest would be nice.

CLOUD

We don’t have time. Sephiroth came this way.

BARRET

How do you know!?

A beat as Cloud stops and ponders.

CLOUD

I just do. Now let’s go.

They continue walking.

TIFA

Can you at least tell us where we’re going?

CLOUD

After Sephiroth.

BARRET

Where!?

CLOUD

I don’t know. There’s a very small mountain region not far from here. It’s surrounded by marsh.

AERIS

Is that where we’re going?

CLOUD

It’s the only to the other side of the continent.

RED XIII

How long will this journey take?

CLOUD

If we keep walking through the night we’ll make it by tomorrow afternoon.

Everyone except Cloud groan.

CLOUD

Alright listen, if we see a settlement we’ll stop for rest, okay?

BARRET

What settlements?

CLOUD

Just keep walking.

EXT. COSMO CANYON – VILLAGE SQUARE – DAY

Bugenhagen walks down the streets of the Cosmo Canyon village. The village has an almost Native American style to it. Bugenhagen walks up to a food cart, there he meets the VENDOR.

VENDOR

How ya’ doin’, Bugenhagen? Still up there in that observatory?

BUGENHAGEN

It’s the only thing that’s keeping me busy these days.

He picks out some meat. The vendor grabs it and wraps it up for him.

VENDOR

26 gil.

Bugenhagen pays him.

VENDOR

Before you go,

BUGENHAGEN

Yeah?

VENDOR

So people have been asking about you.

BUGENHAGEN

Who?

VENDOR

They looked like Shinra.

BUGENHAGEN

What’d they want?

VENDOR

I don’t know. They just been walkin’ ‘round town looking for you.

BUGENHAGEN

Alright thanks.

Bugenhagen shakes the man’s hand and cautiously walks away.

INT. COSMO CANYON – OBSERVATORY – DAY

Relieved, Bugenhagen enters his observatory safe. He shuts the door and turns around only to see RENO, of the Turks, pointing a gun at him. Reno has made himself at home and is sitting at Bugenhagen’s table.

RENO

(smiling)

How you doin’ Bugenhagen?

BUGENHAGEN

Who are you?

Reno takes bite out of sandwich that was on the table.

BUGENHAGEN

(CONT.)

Why are you here?

RENO

(mouth full of food)

I’m just,

He swallows.

RENO

(CONT.)

I’m just here representing President Rufus.

BUGENHAGEN

Rufus!

Reno stands up.

RENO

Yes, new president of Shinra Inc. Surly you heard of what happened a few days ago did you not?

BUGENHAGEN

Of course I know. Shinra Tower was attacked. But what do you want with me?

Reno starts walking toward Bugenhagen.

RENO

President Rufus has got some questions for you.

BUGENHAGEN

Me? Why not talk to that maniac Hojo?

RENO

I’m told you know things. Things that not even Hojo knows.

BUGENHAGEN

What makes you think I’ll help you?

RENO

Your life depends on it.

(BEAT)

You were friends with Professor Gast. He told you things that Shinra needs.

BUGENHAGEN

I will not aid in the death of the planet!

RENO

You are coming with us.

Reno nods and two SHINRA SOLDIERS appear from both sides and each grab one of Bugenhagen’s arms.

BUGENHAGEN

(struggling to get free)

Let me go! You can’t do this!

RENO

You’ve broken the law, Bugenhagen. Resisting arrest.

Reno pistol whips Bugenhagen knocking him unconscious.

EXT. OPEN WORLD – OUTSIDE CHOCOBO RANCH – DUSK

Despite heavy fatigue, Cloud and the others continue to walk the plains of the planet. The sun is setting. Tifa collapses.

RED XIII

(pushing Tifa up with his head)

Come on, m‘lady. We can’t quit now.

Cloud, who isn’t fatigued, looks back at the group.

TIFA

(catching her breath)

Cloud,

(BEAT)

We need rest.

BARRET

She’s right. We’ve got zero strength here.

Cloud sighs. Aeris sees the Chocobo Ranch off in the distance.

AERIS

What’s that?

Everyone turns and sees the ranch.

BARRET

Who cares!? We can rest there.

Everyone except Cloud starts walking toward the ranch.

CLOUD

Where you all think you’re going? We can’t stop!

They ignore him.

CLOUD

(through his teeth)

Dammit.

He joins the others.

EXT. CHOCOBO RANCH – NIGHT

Cloud and the others walk to the house on the ranch. The ranch is primarily made up of a large fenced in area that his home to the chocobos, large yellow ostrich-like birds. Cloud knocks on the door. A beat; then the door opens.

(MORE)

An elderly man appears in the door frame. He is the ranch master, CHOCO BILL.

CHOCO BILL

Can I help you folks?

CLOUD

Hi. We need shelter for the night. Can you help us?

Choco Bill scans the group.

CHOCO BILL

(uncertain)

Where you headed?

CLOUD

We need to pass over the mountain range and the marsh.

CHOCO BILL

(BEAT)

Come on in.

The group follows Choco Bill into--

INT. RANCH HOUSE – MAIN ROOM – NIGHT

CLOUD

Thank you.

Choco Bill walks to a rocking chair and sits down. He looks at the faces of everyone.

CHOCO BILL

Where you all coming from?

AERIS

Midgar.

Choco Bill looks eye with Cloud.

CHOCO BILL

You aint Shinra are you?

BARRET

Hell no. We’re AVALANCHE.

CHOCO BILL

AVALANCHE, eh? Never heard of ya.

(BEAT)

I got an extra room upstairs but that’s it. As long as you aint Shinra you’re welcome to stay.

TIFA

You hate Shinra too?

CHOCO BILL

Bastards think they can put a tax on my stock.

RED XIII

What is your stock?

Choco Bill looks at Red XIII.

CHOCO BILL

Chocobos. Aint you seen ‘em out back? And what the hell are you suppose to be?

CLOUD

He was specimen of Shinra’s.

CHOCO BILL
