INT. AERIS’ HOUSE – BEDROOM – DUSK
ELMYRA snuggly tucks MARLENE in bed.
ELMYRA You must sleep, child.
MARLENE I want daddy.
Elmyra sighs.
ELMYRA I know, I know.
She kisses Marlene on the forehead, turns off the light and leaves.
INT. AERIS’ HOUSE – MAIN ROOM – DUSK
Elmyra walks down the stairs and into her main room. She grabs a cup of coffee from the counter and goes to sit down. She sips the coffee when someone KNOCKS on her front door. She goes sets her coffee down and goes to the door. Before the knob is completely turned the door BURSTS open. A SHINRA CAPTAIN with a squad of SHINRA SOLDIERS enters.
ELMYRA What is going on here!?
SHINRA CAPTAIN #3 Elmyra Gainsborough?
ELMYRA Yes.
SHINRA CAPTAIN #3 You’re under arrest under the order of the President of Shinra Incorporated.
The soldiers grab her by the arm.
ELMYRA This is outrageous! Unhand me!
SHINRA CAPTAIN #3 Negative, Ms. Gainsborough. You are to be transported to Junon immediately.
A THUD! is heard from the second floor.
SHINRA CAPTAIN #3 Are you alone?
ELMYRA Yes, now let me go.
A few beats; then
SHINRA CAPTAIN #3 (to a soldier) Check it out.
SHINRA SOLDIER #15 Yes sir.
SHINRA CAPTAIN #3 (to Elmyra) We will see if you’re telling the truth.
INT. AERIS’ HOUSE – HALLWAY – DUSK
The soldier walks down the hallway with his gun raised. He checks one bedroom from the hall and sees nothing. He progresses to the next door and pushes the door open with the barrel of his gun. He walks into --
INT. AERIS’ HOUSE – BEDROOM – DUSK
The soldier quietly flips the light switch on with his gun raised at the bed. Nothing. The bed is empty. The soldier walks deeper into the room.
Meanwhile, UNDER the bed Marlene hides silently.
ABOVE
The soldier looks around and exits the room.
INT. AERIS’ HOUSE – MAIN ROOM – DUSK
The soldier walks down the stairs back into the main room.
SHINRA SOLDIER #15 There’s nothing sir.
A few beats; then
SHINRA CAPTAIN #3 Let’s go. The president needs her in Junon by the time he gets there.
ELMYRA I already told you, I’m not going anywhere.
SHINRA CAPTAIN #3 We can kill you now, if you’d like.
Elmyra sighs and holds out her hands to the captain. They escort her out.
EXT. OPEN WORLD – OUTSIDE FORT CONDOR – DAY
CLOUD, BARRET, AERIS, TIFA, RED XIII, and YUFFIE walk the plains of the open world. Yuffie’s hands are still bound and she is falling behind.
BARRET (violently shoving Yuffie forward) Keep walking!
Yuffie lets out a small cry of pain.
TIFA Barret!
BARRET What?
CLOUD He’s alright. The girl deserved it.
Yuffie snarls at Cloud from behind. Red XIII looks to north east and sees a tall tower fortress on the rocky terrain of the plains. On top of the fortress is a large golden statue of a bird.
RED XIII What’s that?
CLOUD Fort Condor, one of the only places on the planet that has refused to let Shinra in. In Shinra’s eyes they’re rebels.
AERIS Is Shinra at war with them?
CLOUD You can call it a war if you want. Shinra’s contently trying to invade them. They’ve actually held them off for quite some time.
BARRET A small band of rebels in a fort are able to hold Shinra. Amazing.
CLOUD Right now, Shinra’s got bigger concerns.
TIFA You think the fort will ever fall?
CLOUD The men in there would rather die than be clients of Shinra.
RED XIII Perhaps they need our help.
CLOUD We can’t. Not now. We’ve got our own mission. Just keep walking.
Aeris, disappointed, watches as Fort Condor starts to disappear on the horizon, while Yuffie attempts to chew through the vine binding her hands.
CLOUD It’s no use. Those vines are some of the strongest the planet has.
YUFFIE (biting the vines) I’m not going to Junon with you!
Cloud smiles.
YUFFIE (CONT.) I’d rather be dead.
CLOUD That can be arranged.
(BEAT)
If you want.
Yuffie, intimidated, stops gnawing at the vines. A few beats; then
AERIS Are we really going to just give her to Shinra?
CLOUD Why not?
AERIS You know what they’ll do to her.
CLOUD That’s her problem, not ours.
AERIS She’s a human being, Cloud.
YUFFIE The girl’s right. Why not just let me go?
CLOUD Because I don’t want to. I have no sympathy for thieves.
YUFFIE I told you, it was my job!
CLOUD Yeah? It’s the Turks job to run around and kill people. Should we just them go too?
Yuffie is speechless.
BARRET He’s got a point, little lady.
Yuffie sighs.
EXT. OPEN WORLD – NEAR JUNON - DUSK
The party continues to walk the open world. Off in the distance is Junon built into a cliff face on the shore. A 500 hundred foot canon stretches from the base and points all the way out to the sea.
TIFA Is that it!?
CLOUD Junon Harbor.
BARRET Look at the fuckin’ cannon!
CLOUD Just wait ‘till we there. It’s much bigger than it looks.
AERIS Unbelievable.
RED XIII Are you positive we’ll make it in unnoticed?
CLOUD There’s a small town at the bottom of the base. The people there are pretty normal.
TIFA This is suicide! Cloud there’s no way you can get to Rufus, much less kill him.
CLOUD I’ll find a way.
(BEAT)
Besides if Sephiroth can get in, so can I.
EXT. JUNON TOWN - STREETS – NIGHT
Cloud and the others walk into the town at the bottom of Junon. The houses and streets are run-down but not as bad as the slums. On the west side of town is the large cargo size elevator leading to the base.
CLOUD (scanning the town) What happened to this place?
AERIS Have you been here before?
CLOUD Once. I was in SOLDIER and they assigned me here.
AERIS You think anyone would recognize you?
CLOUD Probably not. It was a long time ago.
AERIS You never know, Cloud.
Suddenly a TOWNSMAN (32) walks up to the group.
TOWNSMAN Can I help you folks?
CLOUD Who are you?
TOWNSMAN Just a citizen living here. We’re not used to visitors.
TIFA We’re looking for a way up into the base.
The man looks at everyone in the group. A few beats; then
TOWNSMAN What for?
Cloud grabs Yuffie, drags her forward, and stands her upright in front of the man.
CLOUD We got a prisoner to turn into Shinra. We’re bounty hunters looking to collect.
YUFFIE They’re lying! He’s going to assassin—
Barret plows his gun-arm into the back of Yuffie’s head knocking her unconscious. Tifa catches her as she falls.
BARRET The bitch is scumbag thief. You can’t believe anything she says.
The man is skeptical.
TOWNSMAN What’s going on here?
AERIS Like my friend said, we are bounty hunters and we must turn this woman in.
TOWNSMAN Why is it that a pretty lady like you chose to be a bounty hunter?
CLOUD Enough! We told you our business not move aside!
TOWNSMAN This is our home. We’ve had enough of scum like you screwing with this town.
CLOUD We don’t care about your town. All we need is to get into the base. That’s all.
TOWNSMAN Well you’re out of luck. Shinra closed access of the elevator.
CLOUD You sure?
The man points to the elevator and two SHINRA SOLDIERS guarding it.
TOWNSMAN (pointing at the elevator) Those soldiers won’t let anyone through. No one.
CLOUD Why not?
TOWNSMAN Word is that there’s a big ceremony for Rufus, the new president of Shinra. Security’s tight.
CLOUD Is there any way up?
TOWNSMAN Not that I know of.
CLOUD (BEAT) Alright, thanks.
A few beats; then
TOWNSMAN You promise to be outa’ here once you’re done with your business?
CLOUD Once we drop off this prisoner, you’ll never hear from us again.
The man sighs to himself and rubs his forehead.
TOWNSMAN As long as you don’t shit up the town, you’re welcome to stay. I’m Aaron.
Aaron extends his hand and Cloud shakes it.
AERIS Thank you.
AARON You can get some rooms in the inn and bring this town some profit.
Aaron spits a chunk of saliva on the ground and walks away.
CLOUD Let’s get to the inn.
The party walks toward the inn. Tifa drags the unconscious body of Yuffie.
INT. AARON’S HOUSE – DINING ROOM – NIGHT
Aaron, the townsman, walks to his countertop and grabs a bottle of liquor. He opens it and quickly swigs a fourth of the bottle. His eyes blink rapidly like he’s half-drunk.
AARON (looking at the bottle of liquor) Damn.
He takes another swig and walks to the window. Aaron watches from the window as Cloud and the others walk to the inn. Suddenly Aaron’s wife, RAPHIELLA (30), walks in wearing old-style clothing.
RAPHIELLA What are you staring at?
AARON We got visitors.
Raphiella walks to the window and watches next to Aaron as Cloud and the party enter the inn.
AARON (CONT.) I don’t trust ‘em.
RAPHIELLA Maybe they’re travelers.
AARON
