(At the imperial base. SABIN and SHADOW hide so as not to be seen.)

This's an imperial base. Too many soldiers...

(Two soldiers on patrol walk by each other and stop to chat.)

SOLDIER A: Hey, have you heard?

SOLDIER B: Oh, you mean...

SOLDIER A: Shhh! Quiet down. If Kefka catches us, we're toast.

(Soldier A looks around.)

SOLDIER A: If he drives General Leo out of our battalion, he'll probably become the ntext general!

SOLDIER B: Don't make me laugh! If someone like him becomes a general, I'll go home!

SOLDIER A: Shhhhh! What if he hears you? You'll be jailed!

SOLDIER B: Alright, alright!

SOLDIER B: Uh, oh... Here he comes... Back to the waiting zone!

KEFKA: Hey, you! You keeping a sharp lookout?

SOLDIER A: Yes, Sir. You're Kefka, correct? How are you, Sir?

KEFKA: Please! Save your petty small talk! Just do your job!

(Kefka walks away.)

SOLDIER B: Phew...! Someone's gotta put that guy away! I'd like to tell him to his face he's no General Leo!

SOLDIER A: Shhhh! Do I always have to tell you to keep it down?! You're hopeless...!

SOLDIER A: ... I hate that weirdo, Kefka. I don't even think he's human, not like General Leo...

SOLDIER B: Agreed.

(A Commander arrives.)

COMMANDER: You two! We're about to storm Doma Castle... You will join the assault team!

(The Soldiers scramble.)
