The image whirls, sky-ground-sky-broken building-ground-sky-ground, and then stops facing skyward, a fairly nice blue sky marred by a cloud of thick brown smoke floating off into it.]
[For several moments there is only silence, punctuated by a distant thumping of something very large moving around, and then the phone is picked up, and shows the face of a little girl who couldn't be more than five or six. She has dirt on her cheeks, and a cut on her forehead, and she turns the phone this way and that.]
Terra, I found it!
[The little girls shouts, and a moment later there's a roar, closer than the one earlier, and an arm comes into view wrapped in a fancy red sleeve, scooping child and phone up.]
Yes, I see that honey. Now hush, please...
[Terra's voice is soft, breathless from running, and the little girl points the camera at her as they move. Her green hair is loose from its normal ponytail, and she's just as covered in dirt and the occasional cut as the child was. Then the camera turns away, showing what appears to be South Figaro, free of Kefka's assault only to be ravaged by something else. Despite the swinging motion of the screen, it's not hard to make out one of the nearby buildings. It seems to have escaped some of the damage, except now the roof suddenly buckles under the weight of...well, nothing. It collapses inward, dropping the invisible creature inside, and there's another roar as one of the walls crashes outward, shattering as it hits the ground.]
Terra, it's coming!
Shhh...
[The screen whirls again, showing a shot of the ground and then the underside of a broken wall as Terra slides underneath a beam and into one of the broken houses.]
Let me have the phone, sweetie...
[After a moment, the screen shows Terra, sitting in the corner of the room they are in, holding the child in one arm and the phone in the other.]
Celes, it's on the west side of town, I...I don't know what it is. It's big, and kinda invisible, it just knocked down another house...I found a little girl, W-we're hiding in the chocobo stables...
[There's a roar from outside, and the screen and whole building shake.]
Won't be able to stay here long.
