| Carl | Are you sure you're not the Black Mage we're looking for? |
| Black Mage | Is this the face of a liar? |
| Lenny | It's kinda hard to tell, what with that cheesy disguise and all. |
| Black Mage | It's time to end this...
Well, let's discuss it in theat secluded alley. |
| Carl | I don't see why not. |
| The guards walk down the secluded alley as Black Mage draws out his dagger. | |
| Black Mage | Good. It'd just take longer if you resisted. This is for the best. |
| Black Mage stabbs the guards with the dagger. Blood splats everywhere. | |
| Black Mage | The problem with guards is that they are too inquisitive for their own good.
That and the clean up afterwards is always such a bitch. |
| Cut to the Onion Kid walking in Black Mage's general direction. | |
| Onion Kid | Man, I hope I don't bump into that crazy mage again today. But Corneria's a pretty big town and I'm nearly home so I should be fine. |
| The Onion Kid sees Black Mage who has blood stains on his clothes | |
| Black Mage | I wouldn't go back there if I were you, kid. It ain't pretty. Unless you're particularly morbid... like me. |
| The Onion Kid carries on anyway and finds Carl and Lenny and the alleyway soaked in blood. The word 'HELP' is written in blood on the wall. | |
| Black Mage | (offscreen) Don't say I didn't warn ya, sport. |
| Onion Kid | This has not been a good day for me. |
