[CHORACE2: Chocobo Square]
Cait Sith:
Hey! Over here! The Keystone!
Tseng:
Well done.
Cloud:
Hey!
Cait Sith:
W, wait a second. I won't run or hide.
Yes, I was a spy. I was hired by the Shinra.
If Aeris is your date
Aeris:
...I trusted you. I can't believe you!
If Tifa is your date
Tifa:
Don't mess with us!
If Yuffie is your date
Cloud:
You think I'm jokin'!?
If Barret is your date
Ya dirty &*$*%$!
Cait Sith:
I couldn't help it.
How 'bout if we continue like nothing ever happened?
Cloud:
No way, cat! You gotta lot of guts acting like a friend but being a spy!
Cait Sith:
Then, what are you goin' to do? Kill me?
Cait Sith:
You'd just be wastin' your time if you tried. This body's just a toy anyway.
My real body's at Shinra Headquarters in Midgar. I'm controlin' this toy cat from there.
Depending on your date
Aeris:
So you're from Shinra. Who? Who are you! Tell me!

So you're from Shinra. Who are you?
Yuffie:
Part of the Shinra! Who the *&$# are you!?
Barret:
The hell are ya!? What's your real name!?
Cait Sith:
Whoa, I can't tell you my name.
Cloud:
We're not gettin' anywhere.
Cait Sith:
See? I told you! Talking won't do any good, so can't we just continue our journey?
Cloud:
You think I'm jokin'!?
Cait Sith:
...Alright, yes, I am a Shinra employee.
But we're not entirely enemies.
Cait Sith:
...Something bothers me. I think it's your way of life.
You don't get paid. You don't get praised. Yet, you still risk your lives and continue on your journey. Seeing that makes me...
Cait Sith:
It just makes me think about my life. I don't think I'd feel too good if things ended the way they are now.
Depending on your date
Aeris:
......And so on, and so on...
Tifa:
You're lying again.
Yuffie:
Sounds fishy---
Barret:
Hmph! You ain't foolin' us this time!
Cloud:
He'll never tell the truth. Once a spy, always a spy.
We can't go on with someone like that. C'mon get real!!
Cait Sith:
...just as I thought. Talking won't make a bit of difference.
But I prepared something in case this happened.
Cait Sith:
Why don't you listen to this?
Papa! Tifa!
If Aeris is your date

Ma......Marlene!?
Hey! It's Dad! Dad! It's me, Marlene!
Cait Sith:
...So, you have to do as I say.
Cloud:
...you're the lowest...
Cait Sith:
I didn't want to do this... using dirty tricks and taking hostages...
Cait Sith:
But this is how it is...no compromises. So why don't we continue on as we did?
If you did not hear about Keystone from Gongaga blacksmith
Cait Sith:
Oh, you didn't seem to know this, but...
The Keystone is the key to the Temple of the Ancients. Even so, you're all going, right?
I know where it is, so I'll show you later.
The Shinra have already been there, but I guess you have to deal with that.
If you heard about Keystone from Gongaga blacksmith
Cait Sith:
Tomorrow is the Temple of the Ancients, right? I know where it is so I'll tell you later.
Of course,we'll get there after the Shinra, but you'll have to deal with that.
Cloud:
...Well, we're stuck... We'll have to do what he says.
Depending on your date
Aeris:
I wonder if Marlene is all right... I wonder what happened to Mom.
Tifa:
......Marlene.
Yuffie:
Uh, yup.
Barret:
Sorry, Cloud.
[CHORACE: Chocobo Square]
There's another version of this dialogue hidden in the game. The people at Square must have decided to move the scene at the last minute.
Cait Sith:
Hey! Here now! The Key Materia!
Well done.
Cait Sith:
W, a second. I won't run or hide.
Yes, I was a spy. I was hired by the Shinra.
Don't mess with us!!
Cait Sith:
I can't help it. What's done is done. That's just the way it is.
How 'bout if we continue like nothing ever happened?
Cloud:
You're pushin' it, Cait Sith! You gotta lot of nerve staying with us all the while being a spy!
Cait Sith:
Then, what are you goin' to do? Destroy me?
Cait Sith:
Right? I told you! Talking won't do any good, so can't we just continue our journey?
Cloud:
You think this's a big joke!?
Cait Sith:
...Alright, yes, I am a Shinra employee.
But we're not completely enemies.
Cait Sith:
...Something bothers me. I think it's you're ways of living
You don't get paid You don't get praised. And yet you still, risk your lives and continue on your journey. Seeing that makes me...
Cait Sith:
It just makes me think about my life. I don't think I'd feel too good if things ended the way it is now.
Cloud:
He won't come clean. And he won't quit being a spy.
We can't go on with someone like that. Pull your head out!
Cait Sith:
...I thought so. It won't do any good talking to you.
So, I've prepared myself in case something like this happened.
Cait Sith:
Why don't you listen to this.
Dad! Tifa!
Hey! It's Tifa! Tifa! You know what!
Cait Sith:
...So, there's no other way but to listen to me.
Cait Sith:
I didn't want to do this either. Not by using dirty tricks and taking hostages...
Cait Sith:
So, this is how it is so, there's no room for compromises. So why don't we continue as we did.
Cait Sith:
Tomorrow is the Temple of the Ancients, right? I know where it is so I'll tell you later.
Of course we'll get there after the Shinra, but you'll have to deal with that.
Yaay Yaay!

Cait Sith:
Oh yeah, about the Temple of the Ancients. I think if we take the Tiny Bronco East towards the sea, we should be able to find it.
Cait Sith:
Well then, shall we get goin'? Who's gonna go?
Aeris:
I want to go! I'm going for sure!
Talk to party members to reform party

Cid:
I don't care what's goin' on let's just go!
Yuffie:
I'm startin' to get nervous.
Cait Sith:
The Temple of the Ancients is to the east. Shall we go?
Vincent:
The Temple of the Ancients... This might be pretty interesting...
Try to walk out the door
If Cait Sith is not in the party
Cait Sith:
Then see you later.
Fort Condor is under attack again. The Wutai sidequest is still available now that you don't need to worry about dating. This is your last chance to play freely with Aeris in the party. You will not be able to leave Temple of the Ancients once you enter, and she will leave permanently after that. Go to the pyramid on the big island south-west of Fort Condor when ready.

This is...the Temple of the Ancients...
I...I know... I feel it... The knowledge of the Ancients...floating...
Aeris:
You could become one with the Planet, but you're stopping it with the strength of will.
For the future? For us?
Cloud:
What are you saying? Do you understand?
Aeris:
You're uneasy... But happy?
Because I'm here? I'm sorry...I don't understand.

Cloud:
Sephiroth? He's inside!?
Tseng:
Look... for yourself...
Tseng:
Damn...
Letting Aeris go was the start... of my...bad luck...
The President... was wrong...
Aeris:
You're wrong.
The Promised Land isn't like what you imagined.
Aeris:
And, I'm not going to help.
Either way, there was no way Shinra could have won.
Tseng:
...pretty harsh. Sounds like something... you'd say.
Tseng:
The Keystone... Place it...on...the altar...
Received Key Item "Keystone"!
Cloud:
You crying?
Aeris:
...Tseng's with our enemy, the Turks, but I've known him since we were little...
There's not a lot of people I can say that about. In fact, there are probably only a handful of people in the world who really know me.
Talk to Tseng
Tseng:
I am......still alive...
Examine the altar
Cloud:
Let's put the Keystone in.

It smells the same as Cosmo Canyon.

Whew! We finally caught up to you.
I'm sorry. You waited for me.
Aeris:
Those are the spirit bodies of the Ancients.
They've been away from their Planet for a long time to protect this Temple.
Aeris:
Over the many years, they've lost the ability to talk.
Actually, they didn't need words from the beginning because there was only one objective for those left in the Temple.
Aeris:
Please, talk to me!
Aeris:
No good. I don't understand the rest. Are you afraid...?
Is it because Sephiroth is in the Temple? Or something else?
Talk to the old guy again
Nyum, nyum...
Can I buy something?

Yeah...
Hey Elena, how 'bout dinner after this job's over?
Elena:
Th...Thank you very much.

Is this the Promised Land? No, it can't be...
Tseng:
Sephiroth!!
Sephiroth:
So you opened the door. Well done.
Tseng:
This place...what is it?
Sephiroth:
A lost treasure house of knowledge. The wisdom of the Ancients....
Sephiroth:
I am becoming one with the Planet.
Tseng:
One with the Planet?
Sephiroth:
You stupid fools. You have never even thought about it.
Sephiroth:
All the spirit energy of this Planet. All its wisdom...knowledge...
I will meld with it all. I will become one with it... it will become one with me.
Tseng:
...you can do that?
Sephiroth:
The way......lies here.
Sephiroth:
Only death awaits you all. But do not fear.
For it is through death that a new spirit energy is born. Soon, you will live again as a part of me.

[KURO_9] In front of pedestal
Sephiroth:
Soon... we will become one.
Aeris:
How do you intend to become one with the Planet?
Sephiroth:
It's simple.
Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury.
Sephiroth:
The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury.
Sephiroth:
...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet?
Think how much energy would be gathered!
Sephiroth:
Ha ha ha. And at the center of that injury, will be me.
All that boundless energy will be mine.
Sephiroth:
By merging with all the energy of the Planet, I will become a new life form, a new existence.
Melding with the Planet... I will cease to exist as I am now...
Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every soul.
Aeris:
An injury powerful enough to destroy the Planet?
Injure...the Planet?

Behold that mural. The Ultimate Destructive Magic...Meteor.
