Story[]
The act begins with "No. 1 Reactor Bombing", in which Cloud, Barret, and AVALANCHE destroy Shinra's first mako reactor. Cloud then flees through Sector 8 to meet up with AVALANCHE to Sector 7, where the next chapter, "At the Hideout in the Slums", begins. After meeting with Tifa and waking the next morning, "To the No. 5 Reactor" begins, in which Cloud, Barret, and Tifa travel to the No. 5 Reactor to destroy it.
The events lead to "The Woman at the Church", in which Cloud crashes into the Sector 5 slums church and meets Aeris. Following this, and a run-in with the Turks, the two notice Tifa traveling to Wall Market, and go to meet up with her and interrogate Don Corneo in "To Corneo Hall". They then learn of Shinra's plans to destroy Sector 7 in "Prevent the Fall of the Plate", where they reunite with Barret. After Aeris is captured, Cloud, Barret, and Tifa go to find her mother in "Aeris's Secret", and then to rescue her from the Shinra Building. Midway through, "The Nightmare Beginning Anew" takes place, in which the group flee Midgar, leading into the next act.
