FINAL FANTASY CROSSOVERS
The Crossover Story - Part 3
(Open to Midgar, the Sector 2 Slums, Midgar County College, the 3F Classroom. Sephiroth is standing in front of Hojo's desk.)
Hojo: What are you doing back here? I thought you were dead.
Sephiroth: Dead? I don't recall anything about me dying.
Hojo: What do you want? Money? Look, I know I'm your father, and I know I probably owe you a million something gil in child maintenance due to the fact I wasn't around while you were growing up, but, hell, I'm not a gillionaire, Sephiroth. I may be a college professor and it may pay well, but, I... I can't afford to shell out cash left, right and center for you.
Sephiroth: Oh, relax, (mocking) Father. I'm not here for money. Thanks to Final Fantasy VII royalties I'm doing rather well for myself in that department.
Hojo: Final Fantasy VII...? So, you're aware of our way of living.
Sephiroth: If, by that, you mean am I aware of the fact that we ourselves are the product of a Japanese video game company, then yes. I've known for quite some time. But that's beside the point.
Hojo: What do you want?
Sephiroth: Your help. I believe you're currently aiding a group of travellers from that... other world place.
Hojo: How did you know?
Sephiroth: Very little gets past me, Professor. Now, all I want from you, is freedom.
Hojo: Freedom? Freedom from what?
Sephiroth: This virtual prison, what else? I want to return to the other world, the living world, with those people.
Hojo: That has nothing to do with me, Sephiroth. Apart from opening the wormhole for them, I'm doing nothing more. I have no desire to leave our Planet, even if it isn't real.
Sephiroth: You may not, but I do. I just want you to confirm to me that this idea of yours will work.
Hojo: Like I told them, nothing is a guarenteed success, but... I do remain highly optimistic.
Sephiroth: Excellent...
(Cut to 7th Heaven, the bar. Squall, Zell and Selphie walk in.)
Squall: Damn! They're not here either!
Selphie: I still don't understand why you would think Irvy would be hanging out in a brothel...
Zell: Ah, come on, Selphie, nobody's THAT naive!
Squall: Hello? Anyone here? Where is everyone?
Zell: I dunno, man. But things are just gettin' way too screwy around here.
Squall: I guess we'd better forget about them for now and get back to Hojo.
Selphie: We can't forget about them! They could be in trouble!
Squall: I doubt it. They're probably having a ball someplace. Anyway, let's get going.
Cloud: (walks in from the basement) Oh, I thought I heard voices. What brings you guys back here again?
Squall: We're looking for-
Cloud: Don't tell me. The cowboy and the Tifa look-a-like.
Squall: They've been here?
Cloud: Yeah, now, you see, this whole just missing each other all the time thing is starting to get really repetitive.
Zell: Yeah, I have noticed that's been happenin' a lot during this adventure...
Squall: Where'd they-
Cloud: Midgar County College.
Squall: Right, uh, thanks.
Cloud: No problem. Oh, but, uh, before you go, you haven't seen our bar hostess have you?
Squall: No. Why?
Cloud: Eh, she's been kidnapped. I kinda thought seeing as how you guys were new, you might have had something to do with it, but Barrett and Aeris assured me it was all the Shin-Ra's doing.
Zell: Kidnapped?? Aw, man! There are kidnappers on the loose?!
Cloud: Apparently so. But I wouldn't worry, they only usually wanna kidnap beautiful women or rich folks with lots of money, and you people don't look like either. With the exception of (to Selphie) you, of course.
Selphie: (giggles) Well I do have quite a lot of money put away in the bank...
Squall: Ah, hell. Rinoa's a beautiful woman.
Cloud: Yeah, well, just tell her to watch herself. Now if you don't mind, I'm going back down to the basement to sit in awkward silence with Barrett. (leaves)
(Cut to the Shin-Ra HQ. Aeris and Red XIII approach the front doors.)
Aeris: Here we are, Red. Shin-Ra HQ. You ready?
Red XIII: Ready as ever! Let's do this!
Aeris: Right! (chants) Super Ancient morph! (a bolt of lightning hits her and Red XIII, morphing them together, with Aeris's upper half joined to Red XIII's lower body, like a centaur)
(Cut to Shin-Ra HQ, the lobby. The Aeris/Red XIII beast bursts through the front door.)
Aeris: I need to see the President!
Receptionist: Did you make an appointment? (the Aeris/Red XIII beast roars and runs off upstairs) Hey! No running up the stairs!
(Cut to Rufus' office. Tifa is still gagged and tied to the chair. The Aeris/Red XIII beast bursts in, roaring.)
Tifa: (panicking) Mpphh!!! Mmmpph!!!!
Aeris: Don't be scared, Tifa. It's just me, Aeris. (Red XIII stamps his foot in anger) Oh, and Red.
Tifa: Mph?!
Aeris: Oh, this? Red and I, being of Ancient blood, can morph together and become this brilliant beast. We figured it out last month while trying to mate.
Tifa: Mph?!
Aeris: Did I say "mate"? I meant, uh... Anyway, let's get you out of here. (takes the sock out of Tifa's mouth and begins untying her)
Rufus: (walks in) What the devil are you doing??
Aeris: Stay back, Mr. President! I have claws and I'm not afraid to use 'em!
Rufus: Leave my easy money alone!
Aeris: Sorry, Mr. President, but there's no way you're getting any money for this beauty. Now, back off.
Rufus: Not so fast! You can't just come in here, untying my hostages without an appointment! Turks! Fall in! (Reno, Rude, Seifer, Raijin and Fujin run in, wielding their weapons)
Aeris: Urk!
Tifa: Aeris, forget about me. Save yourself! (Red XIII stamps his foot) Yourselves!
Aeris: Don't be stupid. We came here to rescue you, and we're not leaving without you. Besides, Red and I can take these creeps on. Come on, Red, let's kick some ass! (attacks Reno and Rude, knocking them out with her claws)
Raijin: She's pretty tough, ya know?
Fujin: RETREAT!
Seifer: The Turks never retreat! (looks down at Reno, who smiles weakly) Attack!! (he, Raijin and Fujin attack Aeris with their weapons)
Aeris: (jumps over the threesome) Is that the best you can do?
Seifer: Limit! (flashes with light) No Mercy! (attacks Aeris, defeating her, causing her and Red XIII to return to their normal forms)
Aeris: Ugh...
Red XIII: We've been defeated...
Rufus: Well done, kid. God, I really under-estimated you. Good show.
Seifer: Thank you, Mr. President.
Rufus: Guards! (some guards run in) Take them away! (the guards pick up Aeris, Red XIII and Tifa)
(Cut to 7th Heaven, the bar. Squall, Zell and Selphie are sitting at a table.)
Squall: (checking his watch) Come on, Rinoa... Come on, Irvine...
Selphie: Wouldn't it be better to just continue looking for 'em?
Squall: We've missed them once to often by doing that. If we stay here, we've got a better chance of meeting up with them. (a letter is pushed under the door) Huh? (picks up the letter and reads it) Oh, Hyne... Zell, I think you'd better get that Cloud guy.
Zell: Why?
Squall: Just do it, please.
(Cut to the bar, a little later. Cloud is reading the letter.)
Cloud: Ah, crap! They've got Aeris and Red now, too!
Barrett: For God's sake! Can't any of them stay out of trouble? How much is it gonna cost us now?
Cloud: They want an additional two million.
Barrett: Dammit!
Cloud: Ugh, this is the worst situation we've ever been in...
Barrett: I dunno. There was that whole reality TV thing we took part in that one time, that was pretty bad.
Cloud: What do we do?
Barrett: You and me, we wouldn't stand a chance against the Shin-Ra. But... if these guys here were to join forces with us.
Cloud: Yeah! We'd be unbeatable! You'd help us rescue our friends, right?!
Squall: We're waiting for OUR friends. We've got to find them; they could be in danger too.
Cloud: You're not gonna find 'em by sitting around here. Please. Help us.
Squall: ...
(Cut to the Shin-Ra HQ, the 67th floor, the prison cells. Tifa, Aeris and Red XIII are sitting in their cell. The door is kicked open, revealing Barrett, Cloud, Squall, Zell and Selphie standing outside.)
(Cut to the 66th floor. Squall, Zell, Selphie, Cloud, Barrett, Tifa, Aeris and Red XIII are running toward the elevator. Seifer, Raijin and Fujin jump out in front of them.)
Squall: Seifer?!
Seifer: Squall?!
Tifa: (to Squall) You know these guys?
Squall: What are you doing here?!
Seifer: What does it look like?
Squall: I don't know! That's why I asked!
Seifer: My buddies and I have moved up in the world, literally. We're no longer the losers we once were. We're Turks now.
Squall: Turks?
Barrett: Turks?! Aw, man! Have you guys made a big mistake!
Squall: What's a the Turks?
Barrett: Bad news, that's what. They're into everything, kidnapping, murder, drug dealing, you name it, they have a hand in it.
Seifer: That's right. And we're under strict orders not to let you guys get away. So march your butts back to those cells right now.
Squall: You're crazy, Seifer! This place isn't even real, it's a video game!
Seifer: ...what?
Squall: We've been zapped into a video game by that electrical thunder storm. Everything here is virtual only, the people, the places, the food, everything.
Raijin: (holding his stomach) Aw, I should never have eaten that donut!
Squall: You've got to get back to the Garden. There's this scientist we know, he's currently working on opening a wormhole that'll take us back to our world as we speak. You have to stop playing these silly games and get back there.
Seifer: Silly games? I assure you, Squall, this is no game.
Zell: Actually, it is. Haven't you been listening?
Seifer: Game or no, this place is the bomb. I'm recognised here, I'm a somebody, I'm doing something with my life. I don't care if it is all virtual, I'm not about to leave and throw this good thing I've got going on away.
Squall: You're such an idiot, Seifer.
Seifer: Silence! Prepare to die! Fellow Turks! Attack! (pause) Fellow Turks? Raijin? Fujin?
Selphie: (smiles sweetly) They left.
Seifer: Le... Left?!
Squall: I guess they had no intentions of living out their lives in a video game, Seifer. Smart move, if you ask me.
Seifer: They're just cowards, that's all! I'll fight you, even if I have to fight alone!
Squall: Eight on one?
Seifer: ...all right. You win this one, Squall. But don't think you've heard the last of this. (leaves, then returns to speak to Barrett) Could you say goodbye to the Turks for me?
Barrett: Up yo' ass! (Seifer leaves)
(Cut to 7th Heaven, the bar. Squall, Zell, Selphie, Cloud, Barrett, Tifa, Aeris and Red XIII walk in.)
Cloud: Man, that was tedious...
Tifa: Well, at least we're back now, safe and sound. Squall, Zell, Selphie, thanks for helping rescue my friends and I. We appreciate it.
Zell: No problem, Tifa! It was our pleasure! And it was worth it to see the look on Seifer's face!
Rinoa: (she and Irvine walk in) Squally!! (runs toward Squall and hugs him)
Squall: Rinoa! Thank Hyne you're okay!
Irvine: Course she's okay. I was lookin' out for her.
Selphie: (rolls her eyes) Oh, Irvy!
Squall: Well, we'd better check back on Hojo's progress. He should have finished setting everything up by now. (to the FFVII heroes) If Hojo's completed the work on Sister Ray, this'll probably be the last time we see each other.
Cloud: That's a shame. I was really starting to like you guys.
Barrett: Me too.
Aeris: Yeah.
Red XIII: You bet.
Tifa: We're all very found of you. You guys taught us so much, about our world, and, uh, no wait, that's all you taught us. Well, we'll miss you anyways.
Squall: Ditto. But hey, I guess if we're ever missing you, all we have to do is turn on Zell's video game.
(Cut to Sister Ray. Squall, Zell, Selphie, Rinoa and Irvine are with Professor Hojo.)
Hojo: All right, everyone, I've wired Sister Ray's cannon so that it may create a rip in the space/time barrier over the ocean northwest of here when fired. When the rip, or wormhole, opens you'll have around ten to twenty seconds to go through, after that, the wormhole will be closed forever, making any kind of escape from this world impossible.
Zell: Ten to twenty seconds? That isn't very long.
Hojo: I know, and since it's your only chance, it's imperative that you make it though. Does your Garden have enough speed to make it in time?
Squall: It's not known for its speed, but... yeah, we should be able to. We have to.
Hojo: All right, here's the deal. Whilst I power up the cannon, you people must return to your Garden and prepare to make the leap. Once it's opened, you go through, fast. It should transport you back to your world almost instantly, though you may experience a slight stinging sensation. This sensation should only last from the time you enter the wormhole, to the time you emerge from the other end into your world, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
(Cut to Balamb Garden, Headmaster Cid's office. Squall, Zell, Selphie, Rinoa, Irvine, Quistis, Nadia, Xu and Cid are looking through the window.)
(Cut to the Midgar Area. Sephiroth looks around, suspiciously. He sneaks onto Balamb Garden. Above, Sister Ray fires a lazer beam, ripping a hole in the space/time barrier.)
(Cut to Balamb Garden, Headmaster Cid's office.)
Cid: Let's go!!
(Cut to the Midgar Area. Balamb Garden approaches the wormhole. Sephiroth, who is clinging onto the side, smiles evilly. Balamb Garden makes it into the wormhole and disappears.)
(Cut to the Alcauld Plains. The wormhole is floating above a ditch in the ground. Balamb Garden comes through the wormhole, landing back in the ditch with a thud. The wormhole in the sky disappears. Sephiroth jumps off the Garden.)
Sephiroth: I did it! I made it to another world! I- (begins to disintegrate (Carbuncle: Because he's not real.)) -no, I'm disintegrating!! I'm disintegrating!!! (fades away into nothingness)
(Cut to Balamb Garden, Headmaster Cid's office. Everyone is looking out of the window.)
Cid: We're home!
Everyone: Yay!!!
(Cut to the hallway. Squall and Zell walk out of the elevator. Seifer, Raijin and Fujin are standing around by the fountain, looking disappointed. Seifer is hitting Raijin over the head.)
Zell: Y'know, Squall, being in the Final Fantasy VII world made me think. I mean, what if we're just characters in a video game too? What if the world we live in isn't real?
Squall: Oh, Zell, relax. We are not characters in a video game. You're just being silly. Now come on, we're going to have to hurry if we want to make it to level 99 before dinner.
Zell: Okay. (he and Squall leave)

(Cut to the Midgar Area. Balamb Garden approaches the wormhole. Sephiroth, who is clinging onto the side, smiles evilly. Balamb Garden makes it into the wormhole and disappears.)
(Cut to the Alcauld Plains. The wormhole is floating above a ditch in the ground. Balamb Garden comes through the wormhole, landing back in the ditch with a thud. The wormhole in the sky disappears. Sephiroth jumps off the Garden.)
Sephiroth: I did it! I made it to another world! I- (begins to disintegrate (Carbuncle: Because he's not real.)) -no, I'm disintegrating!! I'm disintegrating!!! (fades away into nothingness)
(Cut to Balamb Garden, Headmaster Cid's office. Everyone is looking out of the window.)
Cid: We're home!
Everyone: Yay!!!
(Cut to the hallway. Squall and Zell walk out of the elevator. Seifer, Raijin and Fujin are standing around by the fountain, looking disappointed. Seifer is hitting Raijin over the head.)
Zell: Y'know, Squall, being in the Final Fantasy VII world made me think. I mean, what if we're just characters in a video game too? What if the world we live in isn't real?
Squall: Oh, Zell, relax. We are not characters in a video game. You're just being silly. Now come on, we're going to have to hurry if we want to make it to level 99 before dinner.
Zell: Okay. (he and Squall leave)
