Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII (2006) > Script
Prologue: Meteorfall | Chapter 1: Sea of Flames | Chapter 2: Showdown in the Wastes | Chapter 3: Silent Edge | Chapter 4: Headquarters under Siege | Chapter 5: Manor of Despair | Chapter 6: Deepground Strikes Back | Chapter 7: The Shera | Chapter 8: Midgar Assault | Chapter 9: An Empire in Ruins | Chapter 10: Shinra's Dark Secret | Chapter 11: Beginnings | Chapter 12: A Chaotic Finale | Omega Reports and G Reports


Vincent proceeds forward a bit; in the distance he notices a bunch of Gargoyles fly up to him. For a long time, Vincent makes his way throughout the Deepground complex/city, with no story developments; just a lot of dungeon crawling.
Eventually, something of note happens; a whirlpool of black energy suddenly appears behind Vincent! He tries to run away, but it engulfs him; he's surrounded by darkness, and it completely swallows him. Somewhere in the darkness, a small blip of light appears and gets larger. A girl's voice is heard.

Null.png Girl   ????  
No. Don't let Chaos control you.
だめ、それ以上カオスになっては……
Null.png Girl   ????  
You cannot be contained by this darkness
because a part of you was born from it.
あなたは、この闇に捕らわれないはず。
同じ闇より、生まれし命を持つから……
Null.png Girl   ????  
Find yourself. Regain control.
心を……細く……落ち着……けて……
The darkness disappears from around Vincent; we see him jump out of the darkness cocoon that had enveloped him.
Scene change; somewhere else in the darkness that Vincent had just escaped from, we see Shelke, encased in a blue ball of energy (most likely generated by her Shield materia.

Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
As old as he is,
あんなに大人なのに……
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
and still acting like a helpless child.
手がかかる人……
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
I can see why Lucrecia
had such a difficult time.
彼女の気持ちも少し分かる気がしますね
Cracks begin to form in the Shield.

Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
I don't know why I'm doing this.
魔力が切れても死ぬだけ……
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
I will die when my magic runs out, anyway.
たいした意味はありません
Null.png ????   ????  
Is this...?
ここが……
Shelke looks up and gasps.
Scene change; we see the "girl" was Lucrecia. It's another flashback; it's a flashback to when she first discovered the cave that would later be known as "Lucrecia's Cave"; the crystal formation is there as well.

Null.png Lucrecia   ルクレツィア  
Is this the place you spoke of?
ここが、そうなんですね?
An older man is standing beside Lucrecia. His clothes slightly resemble Vincent's current attire, though they're almost entirely black.

Null.png ????   ????  
Yes. Deep within this grotto is
where Chaos is destined to awake.
あぁ、この奥こそ、
カオスが生まれる場所に違いない
Lucrecia runs towards the crystals & giggles.

Null.png ????   ????  
Wait!
あ、おい!
Null.png Lucrecia   ルクレツィア  
Come on, Dr. Valentine!
早く! グリモア博士!
Dr. Grimoire Valentine goes "heh"

Null.png Grimoire   グリモア  
The fountain isn't going anywhere.
泉は逃げないよ
Scene change; we're in the laboratory of Shinra Manor, Grimoire is standing by Lucrecia's side as she works on the computer; a ball of dark energy appears to be festering inside one of the regenerative tubes.

Null.png Grimoire   グリモア  
Don't you think you are
taking things a little too quickly?
少し、急ぎすぎてるんじゃないか?
Null.png Lucrecia   ルクレツィア  
And why not? All those people at
Shinra who laughed at my thesis...
I have to prove them wrong!
急ぎますよ。私の論文を妄想だなんて言ってる
やつらを見返さなきゃならないんですから
Null.png Grimoire   グリモア  
Rushing into matters
will get you nowhere, Doctor.
急いては事を仕損じるというがね
Grimoire looks at the black ball of energy and goes "Hmm?" The black ball soon expands, filling the tube. Lucrecia gets up from her computer, as the energy cracks the tube.

Null.png Grimoire   グリモア  
Null.png Lucrecia   ルクレツィア  
え?
Null.png Grimoire   グリモア  
Look out!
あぶない!
Grimoire shoves Lucrecia out of the way, as the dark energy hits him in his right hand/arm. Lucrecia gets up and rushes to his side.

Null.png Lucrecia   ルクレツィア  
Are you alright, Dr. Valentine?
大丈夫ですか?!
Null.png Grimoire   グリモア  
I'll be fine.
あ、あぁ、大丈夫だ
Null.png Grimoire   グリモア  
I'll be...
大丈夫……
Scene change; no idea where we are now (the background is black), but Grimoire is on his back and Lucrecia is by his side. His eyes are closed and green particles are floating upward from his body.

Null.png Lucrecia   ルクレツィア  
Dr. Valentine!
グリモア博士!
Null.png Grimoire   グリモア  
Tell my son that I'm sorry.
息子に……ヴィンセントに……
すまないと……
Lucrecia shakes her head.

Null.png Lucrecia   ルクレツィア  
Dr. Valentine!
Dr. Valentine!
ダメです!
しっかりしてください!
He looks at her, as the green particle-evaporation quickens.

Null.png Grimoire   グリモア  
My time has come
to return to the Lifestream.
じゃあ……ボクは……
先に星へ還るよ……
He disappears.

Null.png Lucrecia   ルクレツィア  
No!
いやぁーー!!
Null.png Lucrecia   ルクレツィア  
No! Come back! Why did you
have to fade away!? Why did you...
いや! いや! なんで? なんで、
消えちゃうの? なんで、あなたが……
The camera pans out and we see Shelke is observing a crying Lucrecia.

Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
It's alright.
He simply returned to the planet.
大丈夫……
星に……還っただけだから……
Scene change; still clearly a flashback, someone is crying over a cross draped with flowers, though we don't see who... we just see the cross.

Null.png Shalua   ????  
Stop crying, Shelke.
もう、泣くな
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
But... But...
だって……ぐすん
Null.png Shalua   シャルア  
It's alright. Mom just returned
to the planet. We'll see her again.
大丈夫……星に還っただけだから……
また、会えるよ
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
We will?
ぐすん……ほんと?
She turns around, and we see the Girl in question is a younger Shalua.

Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
(Is this...)
(……私……?)
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
Of course we will.
あぁ、本当だ
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
(No... Shalua?)
(違う……姉さん……?)
Null.png Shalua   シャルア  
Mom said everything in this world flows around
in a circle. That means she'll come back someday.
この星の命は、巡ってるんだ。
母さんが言ってた。だから、また、会えるよ
The younger Shelke stops crying.

Null.png Shalua   シャルア  
Mom wouldn't lie to us, right?
母さん、嘘つかないだろ?
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
Right.
……うん
Null.png Shalua   シャルア  
Right.
だから……
Back to the present, Shelke is still dreaming or hallucinating.

Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
Shalua...
姉さん……
Shalua appears beside her.

Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
?!
Null.png Shalua   シャルア  
Shelke.
ねぇ
Null.png Shalua   シャルア  
Is it alright for me to return to the planet?
私も、星に還っていいかな?
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
No...
……だめ
Shalua looks at her.

Null.png Shalua   シャルア  
ん?
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
Not yet.
There's still so much I...
まだ……だめ……
私、お姉ちゃんに……
Shalua pets her hair.

Null.png Shalua   シャルア  
Don't worry.
大丈夫
Null.png Shalua   シャルア  
We'll see each other again.
また会えるよ
We see Shelke is still inside her cracked Shield; she wakes up.

Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
A dream?
夢……?
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
No... Data interference.
いえ、また……断片が干渉を……
One teardrop rolls down her cheek; then another on the other cheek. She wipes the first one away.

Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
えっ?
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
I didn't think
I had any tears left.
とっくに……
なくなってると……思ってました……
Back to Vincent, who's staring at the swirling dark energy he escaped from. He turns around and continues on: gameplay resumes, and he continues through Deepground's complex. Eventually he reaches a gateway, which puts him one step closer to Mako Reactor 0. But plumes of dark energy are scattered about, which can only mean...

Null.png Nero   ネロ  
A pleasure to finally meet you, Vincent.
初めまして……ですかね?
Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
Nero.
ネロ
Null.png Nero   ネロ  
At first, I thought you nothing more
than a nuisance. However, it seems I can
no longer let you run about unchained.
I must protect my beloved brother.
アナタはどちらかというと、
ボクたち寄りの存在だと思い、放っておきましたが、
これ以上、兄さんに近づくなら、消去しますよ?
Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
Your brother?
兄さん?
Null.png Nero   ネロ  
Dear Weiss. Powerful Weiss. The only person who
ever loved me. And the only person I will ever love.
えぇ、ボクのヴァイス兄さん。ボクよりも強く、
世界で唯一ボクを愛してくれた兄さん
Null.png Nero   ネロ  
However...
でも……
Nero hangs his head.

Null.png Nero   ネロ  
But that is all forgotten. In a matter
of moments, everything will change.
まぁ、いいでしょう。それも、今日までです。
あと、少しで兄さんは……
Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
What did you do with Shelke?
シェルクはどうした?
Null.png Nero   ネロ  
Shelke?
? ……シェルク?
Null.png Nero   ネロ  
Ah yes, what did I do with her?
I do recall running into the lass
when I journeyed to the airship.
A feisty one, she is.
あぁ、そういえば、どうしたのでしょうね?
確か、空に材料の回収をしに行った時、
ボクに向かってきた気がしました
Null.png Nero   ネロ  
The girl is inside me, lost like a little puppy.
多分、ボクの中で、消えてるんじゃないですかね?
Vincent lifts his gun, Nero goes "Ah"

Null.png Nero   ネロ  
So you wish to dance?
いいですよ、少し……遊びましょうか?
Nero quickly draws both of his gun. You're thrown into a boss battle vs. Nero the Sable! A remarkably easy boss fight, too. Afterwards, Nero's on the ground; he gets up.

Null.png Nero   ネロ  
Impressive. Perhaps Azul and Rosso never
stood a chance against the mighty Valentine.
なるほど……アスールやロッソが、
敗れたのも無理はないかもしれません
Null.png Nero   ネロ  
But enough. I have other matters to attend to.
でも……そろそろ終わりにしましょう
Nero engulfs Vincent in darkness; the scene changes to Shelke, also in the darkness, with her cracked Shield-bubble losing strength.

Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
So this is the end.
終わり……ですかね……
Someone is there; she looks up. It's Vincent!

Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
え?
Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
I think you dropped this.
返しに来た
Shows her her cellphone.

Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
Unless you find something appealing
about this place, I suggest we leave.
こんな居心地の悪い場所で、
話し込むこともないだろう……
Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
Let's go.
出るぞ
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
……はい
She nods.
Back on the battlefield, Nero is observing the darkness that he sent Vincent into. He begins to walk away, but out come Vincent & Shelke. Nero turns around.

Null.png Nero   ネロ  
そうですか……
Null.png Nero   ネロ  
I see.
カオス……
Null.png Nero   ネロ  
Soul wrought of terra corrupt.
命の淀みより、生まれし生命
Null.png Nero   ネロ  
My darkness would have
no control over you, would it?
だから、その淀みを埋められた、
ボクの闇は効かない……
Null.png Nero   ネロ  
So I must try a different dance.
そういうことですか
Null.png Nero   ネロ  
How about...
なら……
He generates a large cloud of darkness behind him, but is quickly distracted as a shuriken hits the ground near his feet. We see Yuffie high above, sporting her "mysterious ninja" garb from the Shinra Manor.

Null.png Yuffie   ユフィ  
Even in a world where fear and
despair reign over the heavens,
天網恢々、疎にして漏れちゃう世の中だけど
Null.png Yuffie   ユフィ  
you must never forget--where there
is shadow, there is always light!
闇あるところにゃ光ある
Null.png Yuffie   ユフィ  
That's right!
そう……照らしてみせます
Null.png Yuffie   ユフィ  
Bask in my rays, evildoers!
アタシの光で!
Null.png Yuffie   ユフィ  
Feel the radiance of Wutai
Super Ninja, Yuffie Kisaragi!
ウータイ一のスーパー忍!
ユフィ・キサラギ!!
Null.png Yuffie   ユフィ  
Back and ready for action!
後光を背負って……
再び参上!!!
Awkward silence.

Null.png Nero   ネロ  
My brother calls.
兄さんが呼んでる……
He turns around and disappears in his darkness. Vincent looks at Shelke, who's sprawled on the ground.

Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
Are you alright?
大丈夫か?
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
I...
……えぇ
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
I don't know.
夢をみました
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
Maybe I was dreaming.
いえ……夢ではないですね……
Null.png Yuffie   ユフィ  
Hey!
お~い
Waves her hands.

Null.png Yuffie   ユフィ  
Over here, guys!
無視すんな!
Trips due to the hand-waving; falls down hard. Vincent sighs.
Scene change; inside some room of the Deepground complex. Apparently here they have regenerative tubes, because Shelke is presently in one. Yuffie is by Vincent's side.

Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
Will you be alright?
これでいいのか?
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
Yes.
はい
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
Thank you.
すみません……
Null.png Yuffie   ユフィ  
Okay!
よし!
Null.png Yuffie   ユフィ  
Now, let me see if I've got this.
You keep going, find Nero and Weiss,
and smack 'em into next Tuesday.
じゃあ、さっき話したとおり、ヴィンセントは
このまま潜入、あわよくば、ネロとヴァイスを倒す
Null.png Yuffie   ユフィ  
And while you're cleaning house,
I sneak into the reactor and shut her down.
んで、アタシはその隙に、
中心部に侵入して炉を止めると
Yuffie twirls.

Null.png Yuffie   ユフィ  
Sounds like a plan.
まぁ、1人の方が、身軽でいいや
Null.png Yuffie   ユフィ  
So, see ya around, Vince!
んじゃ、ヴィンセントもがんばってねぇ~
She runs off. Vincent begins to walk away, but...

Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
Vincent Valentine.
ヴィンセント・ヴァレンタイン
He turns back to face her. The camera pans out, and we see a nearby computer terminal state "Discoverer" followed by "Grimoire Valentine"

Flashback. Vincent walks into the laboratory in Shinra Manor.

Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
Lucrecia? Hello?
ルクレツィア、ちょっと……
Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
Anybody here?
いないのか?
As he looks around, he sees a computer terminal that profile's Grimoire Valentine's Shinra bio.

Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
Father?
え?! 親父?
Null.png Lucrecia   ルクレツィア  
Who's...!?
誰?!
Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
あ……
Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
Lucrecia. This file...
ルクレツィア……この資料は?
Null.png Lucrecia   ルクレツィア  
It's none of your business.
あ、あなたには関係ないわ
Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
But it is. Why didn't you tell me
you worked with my father?
関係ある。なぜ親父と? なんで……
He reaches for her arm, she smacks his hand away.

Null.png Lucrecia   ルクレツィア  
Stop it! Just stop it!
やめて! 聞きたくない!
Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
Lucrecia...
ルクレツィア……
The background is now black; we only see Lucrecia and Vincent.

Null.png Lucrecia   ルクレツィア  
I...
It was all my fault.
だめ……。私のせいで、あの人……
We see Lucrecia and Vincent are now holding hands. She's on the verge of sobbing.

Null.png Lucrecia   ルクレツィア  
I didn't mean for your father to die.
I couldn't... I'm so sorry.
あなたの……お父様が死んだの……、
だから……ダメ……なの……ごめんなさい
She starts to cry and runs away; Vincent just stands there.

Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
But I never blamed her.
All I wanted was to see her smiling face.
関係ないと思った。
ただ、私は彼女の笑顔が見たかった……
Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
But after that day,
the light left her heart.
でも、あれから彼女は、
私の前で、笑わなくなった……
The camera pans away from Vincent. We see Lucrecia facing Hojo, as a light shines on him.

Null.png Hojo   宝条  
So you've come to your senses and chosen me.
じゃあ、私の元に来てくれるんだね?
Null.png Lucrecia   ルクレツィア  
Yes, Doctor.
はい
She hugs him.

Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
However, if she is happy, then I don't mind.
彼女が幸せなら……構わない……

{| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;"

|- | style="padding: 20px" |Fade out on Lucrecia and Hojo embracing, and Vincent standing around like the lonely sorry bastard he is. |}

Back to the present; Shelke's wakes up inside the tube.

Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
Another dream?
また……夢?
Vincent is standing in front of her.

Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
Vincent Valentine.
ヴィンセント・ヴァレンタイン
Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
なんだ?
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
Why are you fighting this battle?
あなたは、なぜ、戦っているのですか?
Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
To destroy Deepground
and stop Omega's return.
やつらを倒し、オメガ復活を止める
Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
It's time that an end is put to this madness.
Or at least, that is what I tell myself.
ちゃんとした理由はあるのだろうし、これは、
ケリを付けねばならぬことのようにも思う
Null.png Vincent   ヴィンセント  
Though I'm not completely
sure that's the reason.
が……正直よく分からんな
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
Not sure.
Neither am I.
そうです……よね……。
私も分かりません
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
But, Vincent...
ただ……私は……
Null.png Shelke   シェルク  
I don't want to see the world end.
I just don't want there to be any more pain.
この星から命が消えてしまうのは、
とても……悲しいこと……
かもしれないと、そんなことを考えました
