FFBE Script part 23: Shadow of the Sworn Six

 Previously....

LANZELT - SHADOW OF THE SWORN SIX - GRANDPORT 1

(The three enter Grandport.)

Rain: Ho... So this is Grandport, huh?

Fina: It's beautiful!

Lasswell(...): You two...do recall that we're not here as tourists, don't you?

Rain: Yeah... But it seems like the ship to Dirnado won't be leaving for a while. And here we are in a lovely port city. Why not have some fresh fish and enjoy ourselves while we wait? You could probably use the rest, too, Lasswell. You may have had the nectar of that bloom, but you need rest, too.

(Lasswell grumbles but doesn't say anything. Rain approaches a sailor and a man.)

Rain: Hey, friends. Any recommendations for great fish around these parts?

Man: ...You travelers? You'd do better to keep moving. There've been some strange men hanging around town of late. A man clad in strange armor from head to toe, and that's not all, either. He travels together with a monster.

(The three get ! over their heads as the man speaks.)

Rain: A man in armor who travels together with a monster? Sounds like our man. Veritas of the Six Sworn of Paladia.

Lasswell: But that's ridiculous...why would he be in a place like this? There is no crystal near here...

(Lasswell steps up to the man.)

Lasswell: Where did you see this armored man?

Man: Near the Lanzelt ruins. Why? Are you actually thinking to go there?

Rain(...): The Lanzelt ruins? What could he want there?

Fina: We'll find out when we catch him!

FFBE Script part 24: To the Ruins of Lanzelt

Previously...

LANZELT - TO THE RUINS OF LANZELT - LANZELT LOWLANDS OPENING

Rain: What huge mountains... Just to be sure I've got this clear... We're going to WALK up these mountains?

Lasswell: Unless you're hiding an airship in your pocket. What other choice do you see?

Rain: What a joke...

Lasswell: If we make it over these peaks and then through the snowfields... We'll find the Lanzelt ruins.

Rain(...): Someone please tell me this is a joke...

Fina: Just joking!

Rain: Right! You were just pulling my leg!

Fina: Just joking!

Lasswell(grumbling): I'm not taking part in this nonsense. I'm going ahead. Consider it training, if it makes it any easier to accept.

LANZELT - TO THE RUINS OF LANZELT - LANZELT LOWLANDS 1

Fina: Hm?

Rain: What's the matter, Fina?

Fina: This feeling... Maybe it's just my imagination...?

Lasswell: We're in battle, Fina! Eyes forward!

(Wave 1 progresses to wave 2.)

Fina: No, I'm not imagining things. We're definitely being watched.

Rain: W-watched? Come on, you're creeping me out!

Lasswell: Creepy or not, these monsters are staring right at us.

(Wave 2 commences and leads to wave 3.)

Fina: No. That's not what I'm talking about.

Rain: Then what is it, Fina? You think there's someone else watching us?

Fina: Yes, watching us....or following us.

Rain: We're being stalked...?

Lasswell: Then we must be on our guard.

(Wave 3 commences and leads to a boss fight against three Purusas.)

Fina: Look, a big bear! It's so fluffy and cuddly!

Lasswell: I would advise against any...cuddling.

Rain: Unless you want to cuddle your way right into its stomach.

(Battle commences. Afterward...)

Fina; That sensation I had... It's gone.

Rain: So it was the bear's presence that you felt...

Lasswell: Your intuition saved us, Fina.

Rain: Feeling danger in the shadows... It's almost like you have a sixth sense.

Fina: All right! I've always wanted six senses! Hear that, fiends? If you think you can hide from me, think again!
