[It's the lava land again. But this time, there's no lava; instead, Kefka, Samara, and his soldiers are at the foot of a set of stairs. It's the only land in this huge ravine. The stairs lead up to a stone door, and in front of the door is a green-haired girl.]
[At the foot of the stairs, across from Kefka and his troops, are a thief, a monk and a moogle. They don't look too happy to see him. The thief yells:]
K-Kefka! You followed us here!?
Uwee-hee-hee!!! Just like the emperor said! "Give them Terra, and they'll open the gate for us!" In other words... [And Kefka points dramatically at the group.] You've been playing into our hands all along! Hee-hee-hee... [And he gestures dismissively.] I have no business with you. I'm here to open the way to my promised glory!
You'd better think again, Kefka!
Oh dear... [Kefka spreads his hands over his face in an expression of mock fear.] You want to fight, don't you? This is just dreadful!
...We have to keep Kefka busy until Terra slips through the gate! [The thief and his allies attack; Kefka blocks the thief's stab and the moogle's flying lance attack, then gets socked in the face by the monk, Samara and the soldiers watching nearby, and then the fight stops because the gate is creaking open. Kefka smiles hugely, like a child getting a gift.]
Oh! Th-the door is opening!
[At the gate, Terra transforms into something pink and glowing. She yells something, but with the shrieking behind the gate, it's impossible to make out.]
[And the gate starts to open. Kefka starts bouncing on his toes, grinning gleefully.]
It's open! It's open!
Terra!
[And, suddenly, Kefka goes pale; his is a very real fear, now.] I...I...I've got a bad feeling about this! Something's coming this way!
[And with a symphony of shrieks, monsters come flying out the door. Wind comes with it, blowing back the thief and company--and shoving Kefka and his soldiers off the edge of the path, down the ravines to the side, down, down, down, and the rocks come with them--]
[The screen goes black. Kefka pipes up:]
Owwww. Is everyone alive? Sound off!
I'm fine. [Samara peeps up. The soldiers murmur among themselves before one adds:]
We're all fine except for Stephani and Daniel, sir! They'll need medical attention before we can leave! The rest of us just need some potions!
Good! We'll have half of your cordon off this area and deal with those two. The rest of you, get healed up. We're following those espers. Did anyone see where they go?
Looks like they were heading east, sir!
Past Vector, huh? We'll head back there and stock up before we hunt those things down! Hee hee hee! They'll regret this!
