Final Fantasy 7
By Tayla Drago
(Cloud, Yakumo, Tifa, Aerith, Barret, Red, Yuffie, Cait, Vincent, and Cid, and the others are aboard the Tiny Bronco, adrift in the ocean. Cid is lying with his head almost in the water, arms dangling. Yakumo was the first one to wake up to see the others were out cold and wet to check on all of them each.)
Yakumo: (Oh, good. There's still breathing...Seems Cid's okay too. I feel bad for his ship...) Oh, no! Cloud!
(She then feels out Cloud getting cold for Yakumo to warm him up with a hood cloth quickly.)
Yakumo: Cloud! (He's cold! That landing really made him fall into the icy waters from strong impacted...! What should I do?)
(Yakumo had to think of something, so she removes half of her clothes real quick to lie down next to Cloud to use her powers to heal and keep him warm.)
Yakumo: (Wait! I can do this! They were there for me, I will be for them and Cloud for getting me this far and stopping Sephiroth!) Cloud! Hold on! I will save you! I'm giving everything I have! In the name of the Mako Energy, give me strengh to save this man's life! Please!
(With this, Yakumo's body started to glow up to healing and warming Cloud's entire body back to normal, but this made her weak to lie beside him to wake up with her in his arms in minutes.)
Cloud: What...? Yakumo?
Yakumo: Oh, Cloud, you're okay. It worked.
Cloud: What worked?
(Cloud sees the others only sleeping for Yakumo t explained to him on what happened.)
Yakumo: It's fine. I shielded them in time. They're only sleeping. You were hurt and cold, so I...I had to use my powers to heal you up.
Cloud: I hope you're not hurt.
Yakumo: I'm fine. Just tired after using that spell to save you, just need to lie down a little.
(Cloud was happy to see and hear that Yakumo's okay.)
Cloud: Glad to hear.
Yakumo: Just...Just let me stay with you for a while, Cloud, please...?
Cloud: !
Yakumo: Just let me hold you.
(With that, Cloud allows it, for he places his arms wrapped around Yakumo to move it around to warming her up next for her to like it. Other than her breasts was pressing up against Cloud's chest to be liking it too.)
Cloud: This is...Nice...
Yakumo: It is. They'll be back up in a few minutes so we got time. Cid will be sad seeing this ship destroyed. Sad to say.
(Cloud could tell already just by looking at it.)
Cloud: So I notice.
(The two laugh together to enjoying their company.)
Cloud: Yakumo.
Yakumo: Yes?
Cloud: I want...I...I want to be there to protect you. From Rufus, the Turks, Shirna army, Sephiroth...I want to be there by your side. I don't want you to leave us.
(Yakumo was so happy to be hearing that from Cloud to hug him.)
Yakumo: Cloud, of course I'll stay with you. Aerith needs me too. I'll never leave your side.
Cloud: That's all I wanted to hear.
(The two hugged each other. For Yakumo cries tears of joy to keeping the others warm from her Mako ESP magic that she had. Cloud goes up to her face to kiss that tear for her to feel it and his warmth. With this, their relationship was becoming stronger for them in being together. Minutes had past for the others to wake up. Yakumo got dress again for her to be with Cloud, as Barret, Aerith, and Tifa watch for shore to land on; Cait and Yuffie played cards, Red and Vincent stayed calm and quiet just by hanging around, and Cid was upset about his ship being destroyed to be complaining right now.)
Yakumo: (I felt this one coming. And he worked so hard on this ship. Poor Cid...)
Cid: She won't fly anymore.
Cloud: Can't we use it as a boat?
Yakumo: Please? Since we're stuck...?
Cid: $#&%! Do whatever you want! Miss...
Cloud: Cid, what are you going to do now?
Cid: Dunno. I'm history with the Shinra and I've given up on the town.
Cloud: How 'bout your wife? How 'bout Shera?
Cid: Wife? Don't make me laugh! Just thinkin' 'bout marryin' her gives me the chills. What're you guys gonna do?
Yakumo: (Don't you really care for her...?)
Cloud: We're going after a man named Sephiroth. We'll have to get Rufus of the Shinra someday too.
Cid: I don't know about any of that, but...
(He stands up.)
Cid: What the hell!? Sign me up! I like you, miss, thanks for slapping me silly.
Yakumo: Really? Wonderful! Wait. You're not mad?
Cid: No...Maybe you're right about me and Shera...
Yakumo: Excuse me?
Cid: Ah...Nothing! I like your guts, alright!?
(Yakumo knew she would get throught to Cid somehow to keep the rest to herself.)
Yakumo: (Don't worry, Cid, your secrets with me. I'm glad I helped you both out.) Welcome to the team, Cid.
Cloud: How 'bout it, everyone?
(Tifa stands.)
Tifa: Of course, no problem!
Aerith: Sure.
Barret: More armies, the merrier.
Yuffie: Let him join! Yeah!
Cait: Okay!
Red Xlll: His ship did get us out of trouble so far...
Vincent: I sense some good in this man.
(And so, Cid was part of Cloud's team. The next part was getting to land anytime soon by using the ship as their boat for the time being, they had no choice. After introducing themselves to Cid, he says this about them.)
Cid: Glad to be aboard, numbskulls!
Cloud: Numskulls...?
Cid: Yeah. Anyone stupid enough to go up against Shinra nowadays, has GOTTA be a numskull! I like it! Except for you, Yakumo, you're alright in my book.
(He shrugs.)
Cid: So, where we headed? Rufus was goin' after Sephiroth towards the Temple of the Ancients.
Yakumo: They said what?
Cloud: Really!? ...Where is it? That Temple of the Ancients?
Cid: Dunno. That numskull kid was tellin' me he was headin 'the wrong direction'... so maybe it's off this way?
Cloud: Let's just head for land and get some information. Temple of the Ancients... that name bothers me. You ready to go there, Yakumo?
Yakumo: Let's go there. Let's row this boat.
(They sail the Tiny Bronco out over the ocean to push their way to shore as a team in rowing the boat.)
Cid: Row! Row! Row this boat, people! Keep going!
(Cloud and the others have gained the Tiny Bronco to wander about the world. At this point, the party can pretty much do what they please. Onward they journey. Little did Yakumo know that she found a robotic orb from the ship to hold on too, it wasn't a normal type of machine that she found just now...Cloud and the others landed on shore with Dudley tagging along now, to travel in Wutai on the westernmost continent. In the field on the way into the village, Yuffie appears.)
Yuffie: Hey!
Yakumo: Yuffie?
Tifa: What the-? Did something happen?
Yuffie: I know this area pretty well. It gets pretty tough past here. Better get ready...
Tifa: ...Really? Somehow, ...I don't believe it. Are you trying to con us again...?
Yuffie: No! It's REALLY tough...
(Yakumo then senses something huge.)
Yakumo: No...She's not. Someone's making her-!
"There they are, catch 'em!"
(Two Shinra guards approach the party, guns raised.)
Barret, Aerith, Cait, Red Xlll, and Vincent: What the-!?
Cid: What, the Shinra!?
Shinra Soldier: Hey, that's not them! These are the other guys from before!
Tifa: Yuffie, you're not...!
Yuffie: I don't know! I have nothing to do with this one!
Tifa: This one? Did you just say 'THIS one'? So you WERE trying to pull something off!
Yuffie: No, umm, uh...
(Yakumo defends Yuffie, for she feels out not betraying anyone at all.)
Yakumo: Stop it, Tifa! Yuffie's not a spy!
Shinra Soldier: What should we do!?
Shinra Soldier: Uh... Get them! Grab them and ask questions later! We need the Anicent and her sister brought back alive though!
(Yuffie runs off as the soldiers attack leaving Yakumo to go after her to ride on Dudley. As she places some of her magic withing Cloud's head to sense her out again just in case and takes off.)
Barret: Yakumo! Get back here!
Yakumo: No! I'm telling you guys, Yuffie's on our side! Let's go, Dudley! I'll bring her back! Don't worry about me!
(She takess off, Cloud knows that Yakumo would be alright.)
Cloud: She'll be fine. We'll look for them later after we stop these guys first.
Aerith: Then let's go!
(Battle sequence with two Shinra Soldiers. Lucky they were no show in using their guns and flamethrowers; as Cloud slashes his way through some of them, to Barret and Vincent firing their weapons in shooting, Cid with his staff and Aerith took care of the rest, Cait and Tifa wit their skills of fighting, and Red tackling them all to the ground. Within seconds, all the Shinra armies were down for the count for them to make their escape.)
Tifa: What's going on!? I thought something was fishy... My, my materia is missing!
Cid: Ey... where the hell's that damn kid...?
(Everyone looks around the area for Yuffie. Sounds of the wind blowing.)
Barret: Why that little-! Come on!
Tifa: She's done it to us again! I'm never gonna forgive her! She was after our materia from the beginning. I won't let her get away with it! I'm pretty sure she ran off north. Let's go after her!
(Cloud knows where Yuffie was at for Yakumo to help them track the two girls down.)
Cloud: This way. (Yakumo, is there something you know about Yuffie than we do?)
(The nine find out where Yuffie was going and Yakumo to following her with Dudley aiding for the ride, thanks to Cloud sensing her out to know where to go to next. They see a nearby village to sense more danger in the area, where Yuffie lives for her to feel out. She follows the path to Yuffie's location as Yakumo and Dudley stayed close together...
Yakumo: Oh! Ah!
(Yakumo then slips on a steep hill to fall, to tumble all the way down and hurt for Dudley to see the horror and unable to save her in time.)
Yakumo: Ouch...! Oh, no. My shoulder! It hurts!
(Dudley was wondering up top to making noises to be worried about her safety. Then someone was coming for Yakumo tranlate the powers to Dudley for Cloud to track down first, then her, and last being Yuffie later on.)
Yakumo: Dudley! Go! Find Cloud and the others! The Turks are here and Yuffie's in danger! Go now! Don't worry about me!
(And so having no other choice, he takes off to come back for Yakumo as promsie by finding Cloud and the others first. As Yakumo was on the ground for her shoulder to be in so much pain right now, she was unable to get up.)
Yakumo: Ow! (Yuffie! Where are you!?)
(Soon someone appears in front of Yakumo, being Reno again to be suprise in seeing her.)
Reno: Yakumo... (She came back to me.)
Yakumo: Reno...! No!
(Reno sees Yakum in pain to carry her for treatment right away.)
Reno: Crap! Yakumo! Can you move!
Yakumo: No! Put me down!
Reno: Down struggle, you're in bad shape!
(So Yakumo couldn't do a thing but to be taken away from a Turk, only this one was different than the rest of them was besides not really bad guys.)
Reno: (She must've fell down. Can't move, hurt her shoulder really bad. Better get her back to the others, but...She'll be with me under care.) Yakumo, listen. Judge on what I do to you later. I'm going to take you back to get you better, so hang in there.
(Yakumo soon falls asleep to begin to cry in terror in Reno's arm to be thinknig about Aerith, Yuffie, everyone else in the team, Dudley, and Cloud.)
Yakumo: Cloud...Help me...
(Once Yakumo's voice was drawn out of her before she passed out, Cloud heard and felt it to hurry to her aid.)
Cloud: Yakumo!
(He hurries for the others to catch up to him.)
Aerith: Yakumo's in danger! Let's hurry!
(With that going on, it was a race against time for Dudley, Yuffie, and Yakumo now. Reno walks her to wherever he and the others were at, to keeping Yakumo safe under his care and protection. To gaze at her beauty to placing his hand to touch her face slowly to his love and to save her in time from her injury.)
Reno: (So beautiful.) Don't worry, Yakumo, you're in good hands now. I will save you. I will protect you!
(He gets in time for the others being Elena, Rude, and Tseng help Reno out, he won't let them take her away from him, only to continue the other work, but to have Yakumo leave this world won't happen while he's still around. They follow Yuffie into Wutai. In the village, they find her standing on the opposite side of a bridge.)
Yuffie: Hey!
(She runs off. Cloud follows her, but she seems to have disappeared. Dudley appears to be freaking out in telling the others of Yakumo being captured.)
Aerith: Dudley!
Cloud: What happen to Yakumo?
(Dudley gets close to Cloud to feel out on what happened to her and Reno carrying her away.)
Cloud: She's been captured by the Turks!?
Barret: What!? Them again!?
Tifa: She must be here! What's Yuffie what to?
Vincent: Then we better have a look around this village to find out. Maybe Yakumo knows something wrong with Yuffie who's been acting odd lately around us.
(Everyone was confused about it, Cloud sees Vincent's point to at least try.)
Cloud: I'm willing to know too. Let's have a look around.
Cid: You got it, partner.
Cait: I don't see why not.
(As Dudley tries sensing out Yakumo and Yuffie at a time, for Red to aid him too for theo thers to follow.)
Red Xlll: Let's get going then.
(The party travels to the Wutai tavern which looks like in anicent times of Japan almost. After quick treatment for Elena to do on Yakumo on her shoulder, she would make a full recovery now, and more from her healing powers slowly restoring her. As Rude kept watch since they had Yakumo so far...Reno watches over her in the other room, to feel out Cloud and the others have arrive along with Yuffie too; as she slowly opens her eyes to find out where she was and wearing some different type of clothing on her.)
Yakumo: Huh...? Where am I?
(She remembers before passing out.)
Yakumo: Ah! That's right, I fell hurting my shoulder and Reno...! Ah!
Reno: Good. Glad you're getting better. Slept well, Yakumo?
Yakumo: It's you!
(She almost fell out of her bed, for Reno to catch her in time.)
Reno: Easy there. Still a bit sore, but from the looks of it you'll be alright. You're safe with us. I hope you like the new clothes, Elena got them for you. Looking cute.
Yakumo: What do you want...?
Reno: I don't want anything from you, but your passion over me. Unlike the rest of my team, I make sure you'll be in good hands with me around. I'll treat you like a princess.
Yakumo: Me?
Reno: Rufus' going on in saying about have both the Anicent to Tseng as well the most, and you for power to saving our world by stopping Sephiroth. Something like that since you are half Mako and human.
Yakumo: So you do know about me.
Reno: Guess you remembered everything now.
Yakumo: Almost...
(Reno sits nexto Yakumo on the bed side.)
Reno: God, you're so beautiful...
Yakumo: Please don't.
Reno: Why not? I'll help you find out more about your past if you like. I want to know you more and more.
Yakumo: But you can't. I'm with Cloud, Aerith, and my friends. Yuffie came to this village and I want to find her. Something's very wrong.
Reno: Wrong? And what about Cloud? Does he ever show you his feelings?
Yakumo: He does...
Reno: But I care about you most of all. Who needs him when you have someone who loves you so much?
Yakumo: What do you mean?
(Reno pulls Yakumo closes to him by holding her.)
Reno: Because I love you.
Yakumo: What?
Reno: I'm serious...
(He kisses her, Yakumo freaks out to push him away but didn't want to hurt him from her powers again.)
Yakumo: Stop!
Reno: Easy there. I'm not mad what youve done to me last time, I like a woman with a hot passion in fighting, you know?
(Before Reno could try kissing Yakumo again, Rude calls to him after opening the door.)
Rude: Reno...Come on, we're going out for a drink.
Reno: Come on, Rude! Knock on the door next time before breaking in!
Rude: Sorry.
Reno: Couldn't you tell I was in the mood here!?
Elena: Come on, boys, let's get going.
(So the three went out to drink with Reno keeping Yakumo in good hands to being handcuffed.)
Yakumo: Hey!
Reno: It's only for protection. Don't worry, I'll be treting you well. I won't let Tseng take you away from me. So let's go out, okay?
Yakumo: (Reno? Why is he doing this for me...?)
(She soon senses Cloud to come to her aid thanks to Dudley guiding them to where the Turks will be at. Inside, they do find Reno, Rude and Elena drinking at one of the tables.)
Cloud and Aerith: Yakumo!
Tifa, Barret, Red Xlll, Cait, Vincent, and Cid: She's okay!
(Yakumo sees them to go running to their aid and to hug Cloud.)
Yakumo: Dudley! Aerith! You guys! Cloud! You came!
Reno: (Crap! Just when we're about to have fun!)
(Dudley hugs Yakumo for Aerith does too, as everyone was happy to see her, more for Cloud to go up and hug her. Leaving Reno out again to losing the love of his life for she cared about someone else instead.)
Cloud: Yakumo! You're okay.
Yakumo: I just fell, but they saved me.
(Elena freaks out.)
Elena: Y-Y-! you!? How did you get here...?
(She leaps up from the table.)
Elena: Never mind that. I guess it's fate that brought us together. Get ready to die!
(She assumes a fighting stance. The party leaps over the table and prepares to battle. Yakumo however...)
Yakumo: Stop! None of you are fighting with anyone here!
(So Reno takes Yakumo's advice well for her only.)
Reno: (Yakumo...) ...Elena, you talk too much.
(She looks at him.)
Elena: W-w-what?
Reno: Do as Yakumo says, okay? And besides...What are we doing way out here in the middle of nowhere?
Elena: We're taking our vacation and resting up from our work.
Reno: And if Yakumo said not to fight, then don't. I wanted to save her so badly, so I ask you guys to help me and you did. It was luck for me. Now because of these guys and, Elena, being crazy again, our vacation is ruined.
Elena: B, but...
Rude: ...even the booze tastes bad now. Girl has point, we protect her not hurt her.
Elena: ...sorry...Forgive me, Yakumo.
(She sits back down. )
Yakumo: Thank you.
Reno: Drink, Rude! How long have we been a team...? There have been hard times being a Turk, but all in all, I'm glad I did it. I even got to meet a bunch of wing nuts like you.
Elena: Hmm, you're lucky all right. Now get out of my sight! The next time we meet I won't be so nice.
Rude: To the Turks... To Reno...cheers!
(They drink up, for Yakumo had to return to the others for Reno to unlock the handcuffs off of her wrists.)
Reno: Here.
Yakumo: But why?
(Instead he gives her a bracelet to wear instead and kisses her hand.)
Reno: I'm coming back for you. Just have fun around here, okay?
(Cloud gets his sword out.)
Cloud: Back off!
(Yakumo stops the two from almost about to fight with each other.)
Yakumo: Cloud! Reno! Don't! Want to fight, we'll deal with that later after we find Yuffie!
Cloud: ...Very well. Yakumo, you still be by my side, right?
(Yakumo hugs Cloud to holding his hand.)
Yakumo: Of course I will.
(Reno understood.)
Reno: For you, Yakumo, I'll do anything. And Cloud...Next time we meet as Elena said, we will stop you. I'll stop you the most. Yakumo will be with me after I'm done with you.
Cloud: She cares about me more than you. So I will stop you the next we face off.
Reno: ...Yakumo, I won't give up on you. I saved you today, next will be fighting your teammates. Better get going.
(So for now they leave, but they will meet again later on.)
Cloud: Let's go.
Yakumo: Right, let's go find Yuffie. Thank you again, Reno.
(They leave the bar to go look for Yuffie somewhere.)
Rude: You sure?
Elena: Our target's getting away...
Reno: Don't bother. I got for her on my own. I'll stop Cloud only if I had to for her to mine...She did said thank you to me, worth it!
(Guess Yakumo knows the those Turks are special than anyone else is...Cloud, Yakumo, and the others travel to the courtyard in the northern area of Wutai. To seeing Yuffie hiding, running away from them, and stealing more Materia from them, they all surround the parts as Dudley does too, for Cloud to find her in a pot to come out and got her cornered along with Yakumo's help too.)
Yakumo: Stop! No more!
Cloud: You can't get away, Yuffie.
Yuffie: O.. OK, I know... I was wrong...You win. I'll give you back your materia...
(Yuffie leads them away towards the house where she has the materia stashed. As they leave, we see two Shinra guards behind them run into the tavern. The scene shifts to the tavern's interior as the guards enter. Elena stands up from the table.)
"So our reports were right! He IS here on vacation!"
"We've finally found him! Get the Turks here for back-up!"
Reno: ...what a drag. (Coming to get you back ,Yakumo, real soon.)
Shinra soldier: W-w-what was that...?
Reno: Right now we're off duty and can't run off to save your butts.
Shinra soldier: We know you're off duty, but...
Reno: If you knew that, then don't bother us! Lookin' at you is makin' me sober.
Shinra soldier: But you all have orders from headquarters to look for him too!
(Reno doesn't move.)
Shinra soldier: All right, that's it! We'll get him without any help from the Turks, just you see!
(The soldiers run out of the tavern. A second later, one pops back in.)
Shinra soldier: And don't think that headquarters isn't going to hear about this!
(He runs off.)
Elena: Reno, do you think that was really such a good idea!? I mean is that the way a professional, a Turk would act!?
Reno: Elena. Don't misunderstand. A pro isn't someone who sacrifices himself for his job. That's just a fool. I'm doing this for her now.
Elena: So you do love that girl, don't you? What do you think, Rude...?
Rude: ...He is.
Elena: Well, I don't buy that! Goodbye!
(She runs out of the tavern.)
Rude: ...
Reno: Relax. She's not a child. Let her have her way now...I know my Yakumo will be safe. Incredible woman she is...
(The scene shifts to Yuffie's house next for the others to be there and Dudley waits for them outside of the home.)
Yakumo: This is where you live. Looks nice.
Yuffie: Thanks...I know, I know, the materia, right? I have it stored in a safe place. ...Follow me.
Yakumo: Please do.
(She goes downstairs. Cloud follows. As he arrives downstairs, Yuffie is standing in the middle of a large basement, the walls lined with statues.)
Yuffie: ...I've been hearing that ever since I was little. Before I was born, Wutai was a lot more crowded and more important...
(She goes to stand in a corner.)
Yakumo: You okay, Yuffie?
Yuffie: You saw what it looks like now, right? ...JUST a resort town...After we lost the war, we got peace, but with that, we lost something else. Now look at Wutai...
(She stands in the doorway, her back to the party.)
Yuffie: That's why... if I had lots of materia I could...
(She starts to sniffle.)
Cloud: Listen, Yuffie. I don't care about the history of Wutai or your feelings. You've got our materia and I want it back ...now. If you give it back now, we'll drop the whole thing.
Yuffie: I know, I know that...That... sniff... switch... the lever on the left... materia's... sniff, hic... in there.
(Cloud walks to the back of the back of the basement. There is a control panel with two levers and a monitor with the word OFF displayed on a green field. He pulls the lever on the left. The monitor changes to a large red ON. A metal cage suddenly drops from the ceiling, trapping Tifa, Aerith, Barret, Red, Cait, Vincent, and Cid were all in a cage that fell on them but Yakumo and Cloud.)
Cid: Whoa!?
Yakumo: A trap! Yuffie, why!?
(Yuffie, who has given up on sniffling and commenced to laughing.)
Yuffie: Ha ha ha-! Never trust anyone that easily! The Materia's mine! Tough!
(She runs up the stairs, stops, and runs back down.)
Yuffie: You want your materia? Then go find it yourself! Yeah that's right. And when you're looking for the materia, remember you gotta steel it. Heh heh... steel... steel! Get it? C ya!
(She runs off. Cloud flips the other lever, the monitor reverts to OFF, and the cage rises in freeing the others. They set off yet again in pursuit of Yuffie.)
Yakumo: Cloud?
Cloud: We have to do this, Yakumo.
Yakumo: I understand. Let's follow her!
(Cloud, Yakumo, and the others travel to the courtyard in northern Wutai. There is a small shrine enclosing a gong at one side. Cloud rings the gong and a hidden door opens in the side of the shrine after Yakumo sense it out. They enter. Inside is a small storeroom. In the center stands a man dressed in a suit, holding a struggling Yuffie.)
Yakumo: Yuffie?
Yuffie: Let go! I SAID let GO! Hey! Who do you think I... OW! What're you doin'...? Jerk!
(The man runs deeper into the room. Cloud and Yakumo run after him.)
Cloud: You...!
Yakumo: Not him again!
Corneo: ...ho... ...ho...
(Goes up to show Don Corneo observing Yuffie still thrashing in his flunkies' grip, hands clasped, looking quite pleased.)
Corneo: Hohi, hohi! Hohihi!
Cloud: Corneo!?
Yakumo: (Someone I didn't want to see again after last time.)
(The Don does a little curtsy.)
Corneo: Hohi! I've finally got a new chicky! Two for one, in fact! Hohi, hohi!
Cloud: Two!?
(Showing another flunky holding a flailing Elena.)
Yakumo: Elena!?
Elena: H... hey! Let go of me! You're gonna regret this!
(Both flunkies carry their receptive women up some stairs in the back of the room.)
Corneo: Hohi, hohi! Hohihi!
Tifa: Now what?
Aerith: Should we save them?
Barret: Even Yuffie?
Yakumo: Of course we have to! Yuffie, yes! Elena...We need to. I contacting the Shinra army to find Corneo here to stopping him and saving her and our friend. I had to do it.
Cloud: It's fine. We better follow him.
Yakumo: Right. We won't let that man get his hands on any of the two.
(The Don runs up the stairs as well. Cloud, Yakumo, and the others follow him. They both emerge through a door next to a small shrine in a back room of Godo's mansion. The Shinra soldiers rush into the room, blocking the Don's way out as he tries to escape.)
Shinra soldier: There he is! It's Corneo! Don't let him get away!
(Don spins worriedly as one of the soldiers raises his gun.)
Shinra soldier: Attaaaaack!
(The soldiers rush at Don, who jumps nimbly out of the way, sending the soldiers crashing into Cloud.)
Yakumo: Look out!
(Battle sequence with three Shinra guards. For Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Aerith, Red, Cait, Vincent, and Cid to finishing them off in seconds as a team. Yakumo shielded all of them in time from their gun fires, only for Corneo to get a hold of her himself while his men still had both Yuffie and Elena.)
Yuffie: Yakumo!
Elena: Get away!
(He has her.)
Yakumo: Not again!
(Corneo smells Yakumo all over her hair and face for her not to like that at all.)
Yakumo: Cloud!
Corneo: It's you! From the Honeybee Inn! You're coming with me...Three girls in a price of one, I love it!
Cloud: Yakumo!
Yakumo: Cloud! Save us!
(Cloud and the others rush out of Godo's mansion. They run into Reno and Rude again on their way out of the courtyard.)
Cloud: Great...
Rude: ...Elena.
Reno: Hmm... that Corneo is good at escaping...No way...Yakumo's capture with Elena too! How could that bastard do this to her!? Damn him!
(Reno had an odd feeling too for Yakumo to be in danger like Elena was.)
Rude: ...Elena. Yakumo.
Reno: Let's go, Rude. We'll give them a taste of what the Turks can do. (No one touches my Yakumo and gets away with it!)
(Rude nods and runs off.)
Reno: ...Sounded pretty good.
Vincent: Jealous, Cloud?
(He was but he would never admit his feelings for Yakumo, but Tifa and Aerith knew Cloud.)
Cloud: Shut up...?
Barret, Cait, and Cid: Yep!
Red Xlll: I guess he is.
Aerith: It's okay. She's brave, we will save her.
Tifa: And get back at Corneo twice as hard this time.
Cloud: ...
(He turns to Cloud.)
Cloud: Reno...
Reno: Yeah, I know...Guess we both need to save Yakumo. And if Elena is in his hands too, that's going to make things a little difficult. And uh...
Cloud: ...OK. Corneo took Yuffie from us. And without Yuffie, there's no way to get our materia back.
Reno: Don't misunderstand. We have no intention of joining you. But for now, we'll agree not to bother each other. That's all. I'm doing this for Yakumo, she would probably say not to fight with you guys. Well, you and I...We'll battle for her heart to win over some other day. Deal?
(Looks like Reno does trust Cloud to make Yakumo happy, but to still prove his love for her.)
Cloud: That's fine. We have absolutely no intention of cooperating with the Turks either. Now, uh, just what direction did Corneo run off to?
Reno: Hmm, nice attitude. Here's a clue, it's the place that stands out the most.
(Reno runs off. Cloud follows him to Dachao, the carved mountains, to the northeast. He finds Reno and Rude on the path there.)
Reno: You're finally here. We're gonna split into two. You do whatever you want. But don't endanger Elena. Yakumo will be in good hands with me to helping her again. I did save her life after all. And don't worry. We won't do anything to that girl, Yuffie For now...
Cloud: I guess I should say...Thank you for...Aiding Yakumo...
Reno: Whatever...If you don't mind, we should get to it.
(He half-salutes and runs down the path, followed closely by Rude, Reno, and then Cloud. All three head down the road through the mountains shaped like giant people, arriving at last on one colossal stone hand. It shifts to show the huge hand before Cloud and the others have arrived. Don Corneo is perched atop the middle finger. Strapped to the eyes and mouth of a huge stone head in the background are Elena, Yakumo, and an energetically struggling Yuffie. The hand and head are a long way up from the ground.)
Yakumo: This is not good...!
Yuffie: LET... ME... GO!
Corneo: Hmm! Delicious... scrumptious! I think I've found a new HOBBY! Which shall it be? Hmm... Hmm...
(He walks down the palm and waggles at Elena.)
Corneo: Should I go... with HER?
Elena: He... hey, I'm one of the 'Turks'! Don't you think you can get away with this!?
(Goes over to Yakumo next to blowing kisses at her.)
Corneo: My little cutie from before...?
Yakumo: Don't touch me!
(He walks onto one finger and does a little dance at Yuffie.)
Corneo: Or... maybe... HER?
Yuffie: Oh GAWD! If I knew this was gonna happen, I would've taken rope escape lessons more seriously!
(Corneo moves around like silly.)
Corneo: Hmm! I've made my choice! My companion for the night will be...
(He turns to Yuffie.)
Corneo: ...the cheerful one!
(Yuffie thrashes with a renewed vigor.)
Yuffie: GROSS-NESS! Don't mess with me old man! You don't even have any Materia!
Yakumo: Don't touch her!
Corneo: Oooooh! And she's saucy, too! Wheee! Wheee! All right, that's it!
(Corneo backs away, onto the middle finger.)
Corneo: Hee-haw. What... what's goin' on!? Who's there?
(Cloud and the others arrive on the huge stone wrist.)
Yakumo: Cloud! And Reno and Rude? (I knew it...)
Yuffie: Oh man! Cloud...!
Corneo: Wheee! ...long time no see.
Cloud: Yakumo, I'll be right there! Don't tell me you forgot...
Tifa: That fall into the trap really hurt!
Cid: Maybe God'd forgive an ugly ^# # like you, but I won't!
Barret: You damn Midgar hyena!
Corneo: Be quiet! None of you know how much I've suffered since then...
(He turns away and looks contemplative.)
Corneo: It's a long story, but...
(Flowing, reminiscent harp music begins to play... then is abruptly cut off.)
Aerith: After what you try to do to my sister twice, forget it!
Tifa: We don't want to hear it! Just let the three go!
(Corneo turns to face them.)
Corneo: Hmm... You guys are... serious. ...Good, good...this ain't no time for me to be fooling around either...Why did you kill my little Aps? I'm gonna make you PLAY with my new pet, so you won't get in the way of my search for a bride!
(The party prepares for battle. Corneo melodramatically falls to one knee and raises his arms.)
Corneo: RAPPS- come here!
Yakumo: In coming enemy! Some type of flying dragon!
(Boss battle with Rapps. Cid and Aerith use their staff weapons to reach out and hit the dragon hard to move away, as Red pounces on it, allowing Tifa and Cait to punching and kicking it really hard. It uses its Scorpion Tail for them to move away in time; leaving both Vincent and Barret to fire away at it from the wings for all of the bullets to go flying for Cloud to use his sword to bounce them all away with his quick skills. Without Yuffie or Yakumo fighting in this battle will be much harder for them and Elena to watch while being tied up Cloud couldn't stop it alone with his sword for the dragon to bite down at it before he gets crushed; Yakumo knew she had to do something for the robot orb fell near her lap to hold on to with one hand still being tied up.)
Yakumo: (I wish I can do something to get out out of here...! I...I...)
(Yakumo started to glow again to surround Elena and Yuffie to shielded them and herself too, the orb started to glow up from her powers as well for this to happen.)
Yakumo: I want to protect everyone!
(Then the orb turns into a giant robot-like machine with one red-robotic eye and many long arms out to being turned on from her powers. It goes flying out to stopping the dragon's jaws from biting down Cloud's sword in time to freeing Yakumo, Elena, and Yuffie in time.)
Yuffie: Nice one, Yakumo!
Elena: But what is that thing!?
Yakumo: I don''t know! I just found it on Cid's ship!
(Cid knew what Yakumo was talking about.)
Cid: A Servant A-I...I never thought it would work for me again, but since she did it, it's all hers now. Just get it's attention for you to control it, Yakumo!
(And so she does, Yakumo touches it for the A-I to see her and feel her out from Cid's past in caring for the machine.)
Yakumo: It worked! Listen! My friends are in danger! I have to protect the girls here, from that man! He try to hurt us! And his pet is trying to hurt them, save us! Go aid them!
(With that, the robot understood for Yakumo to control it's every move it makes from her powers alone, leaving Corneo confused on what was happened. The dragon fights the robot for it to read its every move; from stopping the tail stinging, wings to blow it away, powerful jaws, and strength it didn't stand a chance against it.)
Yakumo: Cloud! Let's finish it!
Cloud: Got it!
(Cornero started to worry for Cloud and Yakumo using the A-I to stopping the dragon better than ever, leaving Cornero to be freaking out in losing the battle.)
Corneo: What have you done...? You took my brides away!
(As the robot was beating the dragon many times without it fighting back to ripping off it's wings, Cloud slashes it hard, allowing for Yakumo to power the A-I to fire a powerful beam to blast it into aches for good.)
Yakumo: We did it!
(Yakumo hugs Cloud and the others along with her new weapon-like friend that she awoken.)
Yuffie: Alright!
Elena: Not bad...
Yakumo: Thank you my friend. For that, you're welcome in our group as my weapon to help the others in battle. I'm Yakumo.
(It scans the others on who they were for it makes beeping noises to light up, it doesn't talk but it does understand.)
Yakumo: In that case...I'll call you Orbit. As for you...!
(Yakumo then goes over Corneo to finally do what she hasn't done yet, punch him in the face for him to bleed out from his nose really hard.)
Corneo: OUCH! My face...! It hurts!
(He was crying like a baby.)
Aerith: Nice hit.
Vincent: You having many girls in your life? Sir, you make me sick.
Corneo: Wait...Just wait a second!
Cloud: SHUT UP! Try to hurt Yakumo again was a big mistake.
Corneo: Just listen to me - it won't take long. Why do you think a bad guy like me would swallow his pride and plead for his life?
Cloud: Because he's sure to win.
Corneo: Woo-hoo! Right!
(Both eyes of the stone head rotate, flipping Elena and Yuffie upside down. Though Yakumo got out, they didn't yet.)
Elena: Eyaaah...!
Yuffie: Makes me so MAD...!
Yakumo: Oh, no! Yuffie! Elena!
Corneo: If I push this button, they'll fall upside down, and we'll have SQUASHED TOMATOES!
Cloud: Damn...!
Tifa: Coward!
Barret: Why you...!
Cait: That just not right.
Cid: So this is how a loser lives...!
Red Xlll: You wouldn't dare!
Corneo: Now, give me your women too! Yakumo is still mine! Ha, ha, ha, ha! I guess I'm the one laughing last!
Reno: No, that would be us.
Corneo: Hee-haw. What... what's goin' on!? Who's there?
(Reno enters along the arm and stands atop the man-sized thumb and guards Yakumo to keep her behind him.)
Corneo: ...The Turks!
Yakumo: Reno!
(All turn to face Reno.)
Reno: Glad you're safe, Yakumo. As for you...! You knew this was gonna happen ever since you leaked that secret. We're going to take care of you... personally. You touched one of our members and my Yakumo, you'll pay dearly...
Corneo: DAMMIT! Then they're all goin' with me!
(Rude quickly darts out from a path behind the giant stone head. He throws a tiny weapon at the Don.)
Corneo: Ugh...!
(Corneo grimaces in pain, teeters backward and falls off the finger, barely managing to grab the end before he falls.)
Reno: Good timing, Rude.
(Rude raises a hand.)
Rude: ...Let's get to work.
(Reno hops off the thumb and walks over to where the Don clings. He puts one shoe on the Don's fingers.)
Reno: All right, Corneo. This'll be over quick, so listen up. Why do you think we went to all the trouble of teaming up with those guys to get you...?
(Corneo nods frantically.)
Corneo: Two... Number two?
Reno: All wrong.
(He wiggles the foot pinning the Don's fingers.)
Corneo: No...! Wait, stop...!
(Reno takes his foot off. Corneo falls.)
Corneo: Aaaaaaaaaa...p-!
Yakumo: Ah!
(Yakumo covers her head on Cloud's chest to see the horror happen for him to confronts her, they knew that something like this would happen to end Corneo's life.)
(Reno pushes his sunglasses farther up his nose and stares down into the canyon.)
Reno: The correct answer was...
(A pause.)
Reno: ...because it's our job. Sorry you had to see that, Yakumo. But he had to pay after what he did to you, your friend, and Elena. He was a sicko.
(He kisses Yakumo hand for her to be surprise and Cloud still jealous of him.)
Elena: Oh, thank you very much...! I never expected you to come help...
(Reno turns to her, still suspended from the stone head.)
Reno: Don't act so weak. You're a Turk!
Elena: Y... Yes, sir!
Yakumo: (He and Rude were worried about Elena. They're toughing her up so they won't look so worried for her sake. They are...Different from any other Turks I heard of.)
(A beat.)
Aerith: So that's it?
Cid: I guess, thanks for today.
Rude: ...
(Reno's cell phone rings. He answers it.)
Reno: Yes... this is Reno. Yes... Yes... I'll get on it right away.
Elena: Was that the company?
Reno: Yeah, they want us to find Cloud...
(He puts the phone back into the pocket on the inside of his jacket. He turns to Cloud and the others. They assume fighting stances. A long pause.)
Rude: Are we on...?
(Reno runs his fingers through his hair.)
Reno: No, today we're off duty. As promise...
Yakumo: Thank you again, Reno.
Reno: The least I can do is to make you smile, Yakumo. Very beautiful.
(A long pause for Reno to finally see Yakumo smile. He goes up to Cloud to say this to him.)
Reno: Cloud...You guys are good to go and Yuffie. Yakumo will be mine, we will meet again for us to fight. You and I only. I won't lose to you.
Cloud: Fine by me. I will win.
Reno: Until then...Elena. Rude. We're heading back. We'll come back for my Yakumo later.
Rude: Okay.
Elena: What do you mean 'your' Yakumo!?
(Yuffie resumes struggling.)
Yuffie: Hey- who cares about that!? Get- me- down-!
Yakumo: Oops. Coming!
(Everything goes to black. Yakumo frees Elena and Yuffie thanks to Orbit's help; as her, Reno, and Rude take off for now. Yakumo knew they were on their side. Then shows back into Yuffie's room. Cloud and the others watch as she hops around, replacing their materia.)
Yuffie: Phew, perfect. Now the materia is back in its rightful place.
Yakumo: Thank you, Yuffie.
Cloud: Hey... the placement of it is all messed up.
Yuffie: Huh? Oh, it'll be all right...Don't be so picky! Anyways, that sure was close...No, normally I would kick their butts. Boom, Bang!
(She shadow-boxes briefly.)
Tifa: That Corneo guy's a real pain.
Yakumo: Never want anyone like that again.
(Yuffie looks down at the floor.)
Yuffie: I'd rather deal with my dad than deal with that guy.
(Cloud, Yakumo, and the others leave the house, leaving Yuffie behind, still looking down.)
Yuffie: Oh, by the way, some of those guys from the Turks are good, huh? At least, after all that, we got the materia back. Now come on everybody, let's continue our journey...
Yakumo: Okay. I want to try out Orbit in battle. I can finally fight with you guys.
Yuffie: You bet.
(She looks up.)
Yuffie: ...Hey! W... Wait!
(She runs into the bedroom area of the house and starts rifling through a drawer.)
Yuffie: Oh, all right. Here, I'll give this to you guys.
(She runs out.)
Yuffie: Here, look, look!
(She holds up an MP Absorb materia.)
Yuffie: ...
Yakumo: Another Materia. Thanks.
(She runs out of the house.)
Yuffie: Come on, wait-! No matter what anyone says, I'm going with you! ...next time...
Yakumo: Okay, we get it. Cloud, please?
Cloud: ...Very well. She did give us back the Materia.
Yakumo: Thank you.
Yuffie: I'm back!
(Guess the others forgive her this time to keep a good eye on Yuffie for now on.)
Cid: Back together again.
Cait: Glad everything's back to normal.
Red Xlll: Me too.
Vincent: Welcome back...
Barret: Better start behaving for now one, kid!
Tifa: Or else.
Aerith: I'm sure she'll be fine now. I knew Yakumo could tell of Yuffie being friendly to us.
Yakumo: Then let's continue moving forward.
(Soon it goes black since Yuffie was back in the group. They headed out to continue on their next journey...Cloud, Yakumo, Tifa, Aerith, Barret, Red, Yuffie, Cait, Vincent, Cid, Dudley, and Orbit. For Yakumo's training with the robot made her stronger to aiding the others little at a time.)
Yuffie: I think I rather be with them than taking their Materias anytime. What a life...(And Yakumo is cool. I want to be just like her.)
(As Reno, Rude, and Elena finish their vacation to tell the others of not finding Cloud and the others to meet them again next time since they save Yakumo and Elena today from Corneo. Cloud, Yakumo, and the gang continue their travelers on land, and to sea again using Cid's ship as a boat to get to the other side.)
Cloud: Yakumo, you've...Become stronger now with Orbit on our side.
Yakumo: It is cool. I feel like i know what I'm doing.
Cloud: Reno...
(Yakumo hugs Cloud for him to hug her back.)
Yakumo: Cloud, my feelings will never change for you. And Turks...Well, those three...They're not bad. I know it. So please...Don't hurt Reno, Rude, and Elena next time. Please?
(Cloud believes in Yakumo to doing that for her.)
Cloud: ...I guess you're right. Reno and I...I won't let him take you away from me..
(Yakumo knew that Cloud was jealous of him to hugging Cloud for her feelings will always be with him only.)
Yakumo: Oh, Cloud...
Cloud: Yakumo. I need you with me.
(As Orbit sees them together in love slowly to make some sounds, their journey continues with Yuffie staying with them for good and getting Materia on her end instead. The way of a ninja she was to making friends with Yakumo the most to look up to her...)
