| A portion of Meteor sticks itself through the smoke and clouds above Midgar. Rescue workers are evacuating the city and carting off the dead amidst harsh Meteor-generated winds. |
Yuffie | Vincent approaches the base of the Sister Ray. |
| She looks up at the cannon, holding an electronic device which scans for life signs. |
| The screen of the device flashes "Detected Life Signs 01" |
| Vincent hangs up. |
| She lowers the phone and looks up at the cannon. |
| Vincent runs up to the top of the cannon, reaching the area where the group fought and defeated Hojo in the original game. Bright white light surrounds Vincent as the camera panes around to reveal... Hojo, slumped over the controls of the cannon, not moving. Vincent stares at him with utter hatred, and pulls out his tripled-barreled gun, Cerberus. Just as he's about to fire, a stray lightning bolt strikes the gun, distracting him. When he looks back up, Hojo isn't there. Unsure whether it was a hallucination or not, Vincent is given no time to ponder as a secondary explosion occurs nearby. |
| She approaches on some sort of hoverbike. Vincent jumps on and they fly away. On the computer screen that Hojo had previously been near, the words "start" and "fragment program" appear, flashing.
|
| Some strange, subtle fluctuations appear around her. The screen fades to black. |
| Vincent opens his eyes; he's in a room in Kalm. |
| A noise in the background signals the start of a television news program. We see Vincent's cell phone with a message to Vincent, from Reeve, stating "Meet me in Kalm. We need to talk." An anchorman begins the news story. |
| Footage appears on the television screen; beneath it is the text "A television crew and 38 members of an investigation team are believed missing".
