{We open to the scene of Bell walking through Spook Cliff, following the arrows which are pointing towards the lighthouse. As he gets closer and closer, his footsteps become more erratic.}

BELL: Sarah? SARAH?! Where are you, babe?

{Bell reaches the front door to the lighthouse. He knocks it four times but receives no answer. He knocks four more times. Again, no answer. In desperation, he kicks the door down, entering the tower.}

BELL: Sarah? Are you here?

{Laughter echoes from the top of the tower. Bell looks up.}

BELL: I SWEAR TO GOD, YOU SON OF A BITCH, IF YOU'VE EVEN TOUCHED ONE HAIR ON HER FUCKIN' HEAD, I WILL-...

{More laughter. It has become louder and more frantic, much like that of a hyena. Bell rushes towards the staircase, trying to find his way up. Cut back to the exterior of Sephiroth tower. Sephiroth and Chaos are standing away from the door, both smoking cigarettes.}

CHAOS: Y'know, these things kill six million people each year, and here we are, just puffing on them like there is no tomorrow.

SEPHIROTH: I won't even deny it, I just smoke them to look cool. I'm pretty sure I'm immune to lung cancer, anyway.

CHAOS: Eyyyyy, same. The benefits of immortality, eh?

SEPHIROTH: Near immortality.

CHAOS: Yeah, yeah, whatever. Say, I wonder how Bell's doing. Y'just gotta wonder what kind of "surprise" would make him leave that quickly.

SEPHIROTH: How's Noelle?

CHAOS: Oh. Yeah, she and I split a while back actually.

SEPHIROTH: Shit dude, no way?

CHAOS: Yep. Apparently, I focused too much on battels and not enough on her.

SEPHIROTH: Wow, I never knew there was a thing such as too many battels.

CHAOS: Me neither dude, me neither.

{As Sephiroth and Chaos are talking, Tracy runs towards them, in a panic.}

TRACY: SEPH, CHAOS!

CHAOS: Whoa, slow down there, skipper. What's up?

TRACY: Y-you haven't seen Bell a-and Sarah around, have y-you?

SEPHIROTH: Bell was here just an hour ago. He left to see Sarah. Why? Are they not home?

TRACY: Fuck. Fuck. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUUUUUUUUCK. SHIT. SHIT. FUCKING... FUCK.

{Tracy screams.}

TRACY: ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

{Chaos grabs Tracy by the shoulders.}

CHAOS: What's going on? Tell us, we can help you.

TRACY: I went back to the house, and it is completely fuckin' trashed. Blood everywhere. And there's also some dead guy in the kitchen. I think he might be one of Raiku's. Bell and Sarah are nowhere to be seen.

SEPHIROTH: Oh shit.

CHAOS: Where's Bling?

TRACY: He.. he doesn't know yet. He's currently training in Japan, which is good. I don't know how he'd be taking this. But guys, please can you help me find them? I think I have a clue.

{Tracy pulls out the note which was pinned to Turin's body and hands it to Chaos. Chaos reads it out, with Sephiroth looking behind his shoulder.}

CHAOS: Spook... Cliff. What in the hell is that?

SEPHIROTH: I think that's the abandoned village up north. They spelled it wrong, though. It's "Spooke" Cliff.

CHAOS: So you know where it is, then?

SEPHIROTH: I'm pretty sure.

TRACY: Please guys, I have a really bad feeling about this. Let's get there already!

SEPHIROTH: Righteo!

{Cut back to Spooke Cliff. Bell is inside the lighthouse, running up what seems to be an eternity of spiral stairs. The laughing echoes and reverberates within the lighthouse.}

BELL: Why... {huff} is... {huff} this... {huff} taking so long?!

????: Getting tired?

BELL: What? Who is that?

{Bell turns around to see who is talking, only to find himself on the top floor of the lighthouse. Standing in front of him is what appears to be Raiku, standing still with his hands behind his back.}

RAIKU: Oh boy, that was so fun! Seeing you tire yourself out like that, I believe I could watch you doing that for even longer, hehe!

{Bell, already in a fury, grabs Raiku by the neck and lifts him up. Raiku is completely unfazed by this.}

BELL: WHERE IS SHE?!

{Raiku begins to laugh. It is clear that the laughing Bell heard earlier came from him.}

RAIKU: She is much closer than you think, that's for sure!

{Raiku laughs harder as Bell throws him across the room. Bell lunges at Raiku and punches him in the face. Raiku, still unfazed by this, laughs even harder.}

BELL: TELL ME!!

RAIKU: Oh Belly-boy, if only you could see yourself right now.

{Bell punches Raiku even harder, before proceeding to choke him.}

BELL: I will not ask again.

RAIKU: A-at this.. point.. heh... y-you r-really d-don't wan't... to know. Heh...

BELL: YOU BASTARD!! I SWEAR TO GOD, IF YOU TOUCHED EVEN ONE HAIR ON HER HEAD, I'LL-

RAIKU: I didn't... do anything. Heh. Y..you did.

{Raiku laughs in Bell's face. The laughter begins to fade as Raiku begins to change. As the laughter stops, Bell's face turns from one of fury into one of absolute horror. A crack forms on the front of his helmet, quickly forming a split between the two halves of his face, like the Liberty Bell. Cut to the exterior of Spook Cliff. Chaos, Sephiroth, and Tracy have just arrived. From where they're standing, they notice the lighthouse beginning to brighten up.}

SEPHIROTH: They must be in there!

CHAOS: C'mon! We have to see if they're safe!

{As the three run towards the lighthouse, they are thrown backward by a massive pulse of energy. The light of the tower burns even brighter to the point where the light becomes blinding. music plays in the background as the earth around the lighthouse begins to shake.}

TRACY: N-no... it can't be.

CHAOS: What's happening?

{Tracy begins to tear up.}

TRACY: I-I can feel it. It-it's...

{Before Tracy can finish talking, the lighthouse explodes with a flash of pure light. Everything around Chaos, Sephiroth, and Tracy disintegrates as the light touches it. The ground shakes at its hardest, and Spook Cliff begins to crumble into the sea. The three are knocked back even further, flying several feet as they all fall on their backs. Looking into the light where the lighthouse once stood, they see Bell holding the body of Sarah, who appears to have been beaten badly. Tracy manages to get back onto his feet and runs towards Bell, but is knocked back by the power emanating from him. Bell appears to be completely unaware of the scene around him, walking into the woods with Sarah's body as three look upon him with sorrow.}

SEPHIROTH: Bell... no...
