So what's Soldier Boy's deal?

Is he one of us now?

He's got balls that, uh... What was his name again?

Cloud. Cloud Strife. Right. And he isn't a soldier anymore.

Still, he's a professional, unlike the rest of us.

Soldiers may attack on command, but I hear they make good guard dogs, too.

Ain't holding out on me, are you?

Stamp scared to bite the hand that fed him?

Or is he a loyal little dog?

I was curious to

see the little soldier who destroyed most of my guards.

You probably don't remember anything.

You see, my pawns drugged you with an animal strength dose of

tranquilizer.

You'll be all right as long as you listen and nod at me when I ask a

All right, Pat?

Just kidding.

Or not.

It depends on you and your answers to my questions. Do you understand me?

You cockroaches managed to greatly spoil my plans and my mood. You

will make it up to me.

Be smart now.

Wonderful healing.

But soon will be wonderful for your friend.

If you don't start doing what is required of you.

Yes, it feels better.

Oh, fuck.

I want more.

But my knees are already beat up.

Let's go to a doctor, please.

Fuck with me.

Deep blood high.

You do realize what Mako is, don't you?

Mako is the lifeblood of our world.

I'd worry less about the planet and more about the next five seconds.

Save the screaming for later.

Let's see if Little Stamp really can bite the hand that feeds.

Go on.

Do the honors.

Prove to me you're the man Tifa says you are.

Heya.

So, what did you want to talk about?

When spring comes, I'm leaving town.

I'm going to Midgar.

Should have figured.

All the guys are leaving.

But I'm not like them.

I'm not going just to look for work.

I'm going to be a soldier.

The best of the best.

Like Sephiroth.

The great war hero, huh?

Hmm.

Isn't it pretty hard to become a soldier?

Yeah. So I won't be back for a long time.

Guess not.

Think you'll be in the papers?

I'll try.

Just promise me one thing.

When we're older, and you're a famous soldier... If I'm ever trapped or in

trouble, promise you'll come and save me.

Huh? That's what heroes do.

They save people.

Please?

Just once. Uh... Come on. Promise me.

Fine.

I promise.

What's wrong?

I'm fine.

20 minutes until detonation.

Can you walk?

I'll take that as a yes.

You can have it. For saving my life.

Just doing my job.

Nothing more.

Yeah, yeah.

Fact is, I'm lucky you were there.

Yeah, well, thanks.

Oh, before I forget, here's a little something extra for being so brave.

I was only trying to help. That really was the ride of a lifetime.

Well, see you on the train.

Here, this is for you.

How much?

Well, that depends on the customer.

It's on the house.

Lovers used to give these when they were reunited.

HQ, this is Sector 8, Unit 2. Target is surrounded.

Moving to secure.

Wait! I know that...

Kid Cloud won't be joining us after all.

No need to assume the worst.

I'm sure he's fine. You saw him in action, didn't you?

Guy's a soldier.

Goddamn one -man army.

You think he's a keeper?

You had me worried for a minute.

What the hell you been up to, huh?

Giving public security the runaround, that's what.

Had to draw them away from the station somehow.

Nicely done.

Well, can't argue with results, huh?

Let's get this out of the way.

Personally, I find visual aids make the dull stuff a lot more bearable.

If it helps, think of it as an initiation rite.

How many times do I have to tell you people?

I'm not... There's such a thing as playing too hard to get.

Heads up.

Don't worry.

Our IDs are impeccable.

What'd I tell ya?

Have a little faith.

Like this train, I suppose.

There's only one way it can go.
