(All is quiet.)
-Cloud (very disoriented): "What's going on? Who's voice was that?"
(Squall helps Cloud to his feet.)
-Squall: "Shhh! I hear it again!"
(Cloud and Squall stand in the dense fog with their weapons ready. Sephiroth lurks deep in the shadows.)





-Voice: "I AM THE ETERNAL BEING. I AM THE EVERLASTING HATRED. I AM NEO-SEPHIROTH."




(Neo-Sephiroth materializes in a cloud of red mist.)
-Cloud: "Holy shit! Get away from it!"
(Screams of horror surge from the depths of the red mist, lost souls attacking everything nearby.)
(Squall and Cloud barely crawl away in time.)
-Neo-Sephiroth: "WHO KILLED MY TOOL? WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?"
(Squall looks around for where Sephiroth went, but cannot see him.)
(Cloud fearfully puzzles for a moment, trying to recall the final few moments of the last battle. He vaguely remembers seeing someone stabbing Ultimecia.)
(Neo-Sephiroth focuses on Squall.)
-Neo-Sephiroth: "WHY ARE YOU HERE HUMAN? YOU ARE NOT SCHEDULED TO BE FIGHTING HERE."
-Squall: "I...um...finished my match and uh...didn't know where my next opponent was, so I came in search of him."
-Neo-Sephiroth: "YOU ARE LYING. I SENSE YOUR FEAR. ANSWER ME NOW OR I WILL MAKE YOU SCREAM."
-Squall: "I'm not lying! It's true! I had..."
-Neo-Sephiroth: "THEN IS YOUR OPPONENT DEAD? DID YOU KILL SEPHIROTH?"
-Squall: "Well...yes. Yes I did. I await the victor of this match."
-Neo-Sephiroth (turning to Cloud): "AND YOU? WAS IT YOU WHO JUST KILLED MY TOOL?"
(Cloud looks at Ultimecia's lifeless body, not remembering how she got that way.)
(Squall nudges Cloud with his foot.)
-Cloud: "Oh, um...yes I suppose I did. I just..kind of....hit her and..."
(Neo-Sephiroth gives Cloud a very displeased look.)
-Neo-Sephiroth: "YOU WILL PAY. BUT NOT HERE."
-Cloud: "Huh? I was just doing what I was supposed to and...."
-Neo-Sephiroth: "THE GRAND THRONE ROOM. THAT IS YOUR NEXT OBJECTIVE. MEET THERE IN THREE HOURS."
(Neo-Sephiroth fades away in an explosion of blue fire.)




The end is near: Cloud advances.
