[A black cat wearing a witch's hat sits in front of the camera]

I'll miss that fish stand guy. The fish better be just as good on here or you’re gonna have one unhappy kitty to deal with.

[Blair begins to lick one paw and then suddenly stops. Her tone of voice is much more enthusiastic now]

Hey, if we find a place that's filled with delicious fish and good looking boys then I want to stay there! Even if it’s kinda stinky.

[A sigh and then a smile]

Oh well! Blair will try to like it here.

[Suddenly a burst of purple smoke obscures the camera lens. When it clears there sits an incredible looking woman. Large breasts, small waist, cute face. She leans closer to the camera—perhaps a little too close.]

Does anyone wanna play with me?

[The last thing she remembers is the crystal covering her and Fang. Cocoon is saved. Her eyes flutter open when the bright light assaulted her senses. It doesn't make sense. She shouldn't be here. She slowly rises looking around at the beach before her. It is clear that this isn't Gran Pulse.

Vanille takes a moment to look around before feeling for the device in her pocket. It takes her awhile but she manages to get it to work.]

Hello?

[Her thick accent echoes into the phone. She only hopes that someone is there who can tell her what has happened.]

Where am I?

 Hey, whoever runs this damn place.

[The voice is female, but rough in quality. It clearly comes out as demanding and annoyed.]

Did you really feel that you could constrain me by just limiting my powers? Ha. I am the wind. And I will not be kept like some bird in a cage!

[The feed cuts off just as a gust of wind kicks up, and anyone in the courtyard will see a giant tornado whirling to a start, heading in no direction in particular, but trying to cause as much damage as possible.]

[ For a moment, all you see is the floor and a corner of the door to his suite, shuddering as something repeatedly rams into it from the other side. ]

If anyone can hear this...

[ Cloud can't quite focus the camera on him and cover the door at the same time and clutch an odd-looking green orb to his chest. Whatever's trying to get through, he's only barely keeping it at bay with his back pressed up against the door and his teeth gritted in pain. ]

There was a dead man in my room. He--

[ The thing beyond the door is groaning. It yells something that sounds like, "CLOUD STRIFE, YOU OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!" ]

He came to life. He--

[ Cloud's aggressor is shouting demands now. It sounds like, "Cloud! If you're gonna leave a guy stuck alone out here, you might as well bring him a pizza! . . . Pepperoni and Pineapple!" ]

You gotta believe me. I don't know what's going on, but it's bad.

[ The video feed switches to a closeup of one burning Mako-blue eye. Cloud softly concludes with: ]

Gaea have mercy on us all.
