OPTIONAL QUESTS: BATTLE AT ZARGHIDAS TRADE CITY




[Cloud wanders the streets of Zarghidas Trade City's slums, where he comes upon the flower seller who Ramza met earlier.]

FLOWER GIRL: Buy a flower? Only 1 gil.

[Cloud turns to her.]

CLOUD: ......

FLOWER GIRL: Something wrong? Do I resemble someone?

[He looks away.]

CLOUD: No... it's nothing.

[He keeps walking. The girl turns to look after him.]

FLOWER GIRL: What's wrong with him?

[A group of thieves approaches her.]

FLOWER GIRL: W, what...?

[One of them steps forward as more men emerge from the shadows.]

TOWN KNAVE (Male Monk): I've been looking for you, Aeris... Selling flowers for your mom? Good for you...

FLOWER GIRL: Ten more days... no, just wait a week, please.

[He grabs her.]

KNAVE : Don't mess with me! It's overdue! I'm gonna get my 30000 gil, one way or another!

FLOWER GIRL: Let...go of me!

[He leers at her.]

KNAVE: Hmm, pretty good looking! Oughta try sellin' your body instead of flowers. Hee, hee.

[Another thief laughs.]

CLOUD: Get your hand off of her!

[Cloud rushes back towards the crowd.]

KNAVE: What did you say!?

CLOUD: Didn't you hear me? Get your dirty hand off her!

[The knave takes his hands off of Aeris and turns to Cloud.]

KNAVE: Who the hell are you? Dressed in funny clothes!

[Cloud pushes him away. The knave turns to him, fists raised.]

CLOUD: Go...now....

[Aeris runs away.]

KNAVE: Bastard, taking me for a fool!

CLOUD: You want to fight? ...u, ugh...

[Cloud sinks to his knees.]

KNAVE: Who the hell are you?

[Ramza and company appear on the scene.]

RAMZA: Cloud! Are you OK?

KNAVE: Damn! Eaaggh!!

CLOUD: I lost...a very important thing...

RAMZA: Cloud......?

CLOUD: Ever since, I've been lost. Who am I? What should I do? What about this pain...

RAMZA: Cloud...there's someone in your world waiting for you. We might be able to send you back where you came from by using the stone's power.

CLOUD: Let's go, Ramza. I can't be here. Must go...to the Promised Land.
