Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII - クライシスコア · ファイナルファンタジーVII
Chapter 5 - みんなどこいっちまったんだよ - Where Did
Everyone Go?
Not knowing where he has fallen to, Zack is slightly confused and dazed. Zack dreams
of his mother and wakes up to an unfamiliar voice.
Woman: Did something happen?
Zack: Mom? I want to save my friend. But I don't know what I should do.
Girl: Helloooo!
Zack: Mom---?
Aerith: Helloooo! Hurray!
Zack: Heaven?
Aerith: No such luck. This is a church in the slums.
Zack: An Angel?
Aerith: I'm Aerith. You came falling from above, gave me quite a
scare.
Zack: So you're the one who saved me.
Aerith: No, not really. All I did was, "Helloooo?"
Zack: Ha Ha Ha. Thanks so much, Aerith. I'm Zack! Hmm, I got to
repay you somehow.
Aerith: No no it's fine.
Zack: No, that just won't do! Oh how about one date?
Aerith: What's that suppose to mean? That so silly. Stop! Don't step on the flowers!
Zack: What?
Aerith: Normally people would be careful around flowers.
Zack: Sorry about that, but I'm not normal. Flowers are a pretty
rare sight. In Midgar these are a luxury.
Aerith: They only bloom here. The ones I have planted as well are growing quite well.
Zack: If it were me I'd sell the flowers for some money. In Midgar
lots of flowers will attract people with lots of money in their wallets!
Aerith: In Midgar lots of flowers will attract people with lots
of money in their wallets? I've never really thought of it before.
Zack soon realizes his situation and decides it's time for him to return back to headquarters. Although
it would seem he knows little of the slums and decides to ask Aerith to escort him
to Midgar's entrance. Zack asks her how to get out and she agrees. She asks Zack
where he's going but even Zack doesn't know. Aerith tells Zack that he's in the Sector
5 slums. They both make their way to the slum shopping district.
Aerith and Zack arrive at the front entrance of the shopping district. Zack and Aerith
talk a bit about the slums; Zack feels that something is really missing in the atmosphere.
He soon realizes that the slums have no sky to see. Aerith acts a bit depressed about
it, but Zack cheers her up by telling her that once she starts selling her flowers
she'll be able to see it all the time. They both walk into the Sector 5 shops area.
Zack suddenly comes up with an idea; he tells Aerith that it'd be a good idea to
make a Flower Sale Wagon. That way she could carry lots of them at the same time.
Later Zack accompanies Aerith to a certain store she likes.
Store Owner: Oh. Aerith. With your boyfriend today huh?
Aerith: Um, perhaps.
Store Owner: Huh? You're---the one who was chasing that kid earlier
weren't you? I heard it from the other town’s people. In his head he probably thinks
all strangers are bad although he's a good kid. We sincerely apologize for being
so cool towards you. Nevertheless, Aerith you've found yourself a really good boyfriend
here.
Aerith: Mm. It's not like that at all. Not like that at all.
She turns around and faces Zack to ask him a question.
Aerith: Hey, is it okay if I take a look at this shop for a bit?
Zack: What? So the reason you brought me to the town was to go shopping
huh?
Aerith: I guess not then.
Zack acts shocked because Aerith took him seriously and not as a joke.
Zack: I was just joking, it's all right. Go ahead and find the one
you like.
Aerith: Thank you. It'll only be a short while. I'll be quick.
Zack: It seems like you have a lot of interest in this store.
Aerith: Yup, just window shopping here is pretty fun.
Zack: Hey Aerith.
Aerith: Yes?
Zack: About when you said "Hellooo---?" to wake up, I
still owe you for that.
Aerith chuckles.
Aerith: It's really okay. You were offering me one date right?
Zack: You said it sounded dumb right?
Aerith: But that was because---
Zack: Then for helping me get out, I'll buy you a gift to commemorate
our meeting today.
Aerith: Are you sure?
Zack: It's fine.
Aerith: Then---is this one okay?
Zack: Got it, I'll go pay for it. Just wait here.
Zack runs back to Aerith after making the purchase and helps her put on her new ribbon.
Zack: Like this?
Aerith: Did you make sure it's on properly? It won't fly off into
the wind will it?
Zack: Well it's okay like this right?
Aerith: Yup---this is great! Thank you, Zack. I promise to cherish
it---Hey do you still have some time?
Zack: I suppose but how come?
Aerith: Want to come to the park with me?
Zack: Oh, like a date?
Aerith: Yup!
Zack: Then let’s go.
Zack and Aerith head over to the park for their first date. As they walk Aerith starts
off the conversation.
Aerith: Have you ever met a SOLDIER before?
Zack: Probably.
Aerith: I wonder if it's a happy thing.
Zack: What do you mean?
Aerith: A children's story of the hero that protects the world. But, that isn't normal. I'm not quite sure but you have to
do some special kind of surgery right?
Zack: It seems like it.
Aerith: I think being normal is the greatest happiness. Somehow
SOLDIERs seem weird.
Zack: I see, weird huh?
Aerith: And also, scary. They like fighting so much.
Zack: I happen to be a SOLDIER.
Aerith: Sorry!
An awkward atmosphere hits the two but Aerith manages to bring them back together
with her sweet words.
Aerith: So beautiful.
Zack: My face?
Aerith: He He. No your eyes.
Zack: Do you like'em? If that's so, then look at them some more.
Eyes filled with mako signs of a SOLDIER.
Aerith: Oh stop it.
Zack: Ha Ha. If you look into them looks like you can see the sky
doesn't it?
Aerith: If it's that sky I'm looking at then I'm not scared at all.
Zack: It's true though that there's nothing normal about me at all. Aerith, you don't have a problem with that do you?
Aerith: I wonder if today will be a peaceful one? Then I thought to myself, "Today a SOLDIER
will drop from the sky".
Zack: It wasn't such a bad thing.
Aerith: Yup.
Zack gets a phone call from Sephiroth.
Sephiroth: Zack return to the Shinra building immediately. Genesis
has started his attack.
Zack: Understood.
Zack quickly hangs up.
Zack: It looks like I have to go somewhere.
Aerith: Then, I guess I'll be going. I'll see you again right?
Zack: Of course!
Aerith: Give it your all to save your friend.
Zack: Huh?
Aerith: You said so while dreaming.
Zack: I'll be fine. I feel I can do it now.
Zack makes his way back to Shinra HQ. While running across the highway there he encounters
several new Genesis Clones, it appears they're evolving! Zack eventually breaks through
the swarm of Clones but encounters someone unexpected.
Angeal: Lend me your strength!
Zack: Why should I? I can't understand what you're thinking at all.
Angeal: The truth is, even I don't know. From time to time I feel
like I'm about to snap but no matter the situation I can't let go of my pride as long as
I have this Buster Sword. Zack, fight alongside me. The enemy will be anything that
torments the world.
Zack: My strength---I'll lend it to you.
Zack turns around but Angeal's already disappeared. But it's just Angeal swooping
up behind Zack to pick him up.
Angeal: We don't have time to dawdle here.
Zack: It's fine!
Angeal: Flying is quite a good feeling.
Angeal quickly flies with Zack to the Shinra Headquaters. Once inside they find Sephiroth
fighting against more Genesis Clones. Sephiroth stays to defend the current floor,
Angeal goes below and Zack heads up to the upper floor to make sure Professor Hojo
is all right. Zack makes his way to the laboratory.
Zack: Thank goodness, you're safe.
Hojo: The combination isn't quite complete yet.
Zack: Right now the building is swarming with Genesis Clones. I
have to take you to safety!
Hojo: You're going to my protector?
Zack: In any case, shouldn't we leave together?
Hojo: Ku Ku Ku. Deteriorating monsters have no fear.
Zack: Are you---talking about Genesis?
Hojo: That is correct. It is the Life Body of Knowledge that fell
from the sky, a product that was used in those foolish times.
Zack: Life Body of Knowledge?
Hojo: The disaster which came from the sky Jenova.
Zack: Uhhh---
Hojo: Not knowing is not a problem. Without even thinking, your
first job should be to protect my brain before me.
Zack still confused, walks around the laboratory trying to find clues on Genesis.
Zack tries and helps Hojo with one of his experiments but before he can, the man
they speak of swoops in.
Hojo: Speak of the devil! Is this Hollander's order? Do you really
think if you follow Hollander your deterioration will stop? How sad, truly how sad!
Zack: Genesis!
Hojo: Ku Ku Ku. No second-rate scientist can stop your deterioration.
Angeal makes his entrance as well.
Angeal: Stop this already Genesis!
Hojo: Well isn't this quite the sight.
Genesis: 「It is your fate. Your dreams and pride are no more. From the Goddess's bow, the fated arrow is released」
Hojo: Hollander's monsters are now gathered.
Zack: SHUT UP!
Genesis: 「Loveless」 Act 4
Hojo: The scene where the best friends duel each other. An epic story from a long time ago. I've read all the research materials on it but, it's worthless.
Angeal: Was there an end to the duel?
Hojo: Unknown. The last act is missing. Even till today it hasn't been found.
Genesis: There is an end. What meaning do you think the Goddess's
gift has for us?
Genesis flies out of the wall his just blew up and both Angeal Zack chase after him.
Zack: Hey! Wait Genesis!
Genesis: 「Thy revenge has scarred my soul. Agonizing for its end my wish becomes my relief---and your peaceful slumber.」
Zack: He's using a summon again.
Angeal: Zack, I'm counting on you.
Zack: Huh?
Angeal: I know you can beat it.
Zack: Hey don't leave me here! Wait for me!
After Angeal drops Zack off to fight the summon creature, Zack suddenly get a phone
call.
Zack: Aerith? You know what? I'll give you a call a little later.
I've got a guest who's just arrived.
Zack hangs up the phone.
Zack: Can't be rude to our guests now can we?
Zack gets pumped up and fights a new Bahamut! Blasting swing after swing Zack finally
defeats Bahamut.
Zack: Where has everyone gone?
