FFBE script part 25: A Precipitous Way

 Previously...

LANZELT - A PRECIPITOUS WAY - LANZELT HIGHLANDS OPENING

Rain: Phew... How much further do we have to climb?

Lasswell: Who knows... I'd say we're halfway up.

(Rain gets irritated as Lasswell says this.)

Fina(🎵): It's so clear up here... I bet the air will be even clearer the higher we go.

Lasswell: There, Rain. Why not be more like Fina? She's quite happy to be here.

Rain: Yeah. I guess I should be more like Fina.

Fina: Let's push on! Only halfway left to go!

Rain: Right you are!

Fina(🎵): Right, left! Right, left!

Rain(🎵): Right, left! Right, left!

Lasswell(grumble): Never mind. Don't be like her. One Fina is more than plenty.

----------------

LANZELT - A PRECIPITOUS WAY - LANZELT HIGHLANDS 1

Rain: Wh-whoa, watch it! We're going to fall!

Lasswell: Good grief. An airship captain who's afraid of heights?

Rain: Flying an airship and...this...are completely different.

(Battle commences. There is no further dialogue afterwards.)

----------------

LANZELT - A PRECIPITOUS WAY - LANZELT HIGHLANDS 2

Rain: Curse it all! Where are these fiends all coming from!?

Lasswell: Perhaps we're getting closer.

Rain: Closer to what?

Lasswell: Closer to.... Look, why do you expect me to have all the answers?

(Wave 1 of battle commences, and goes directly to wave 2 without dialogue. After wave 2 is vanquished...)

Rain: Brrr! It's cold enough to freeze fire up here!

Lasswell: Look, Rain. A monster's egg.

Rain: Wait! That's a wyvern's egg!

Fina: What's a why-verne? Can we eat it?

Rain: No, but it can eat us if we're not careful.

(Battle progresses to a boss fight against a wyvern.)

Rain: Here it comes!

Fina: So this is a wyvern. It looks awfully fierce.

Lasswell: And it's twice as fierce as it looks. One misstep and it's over for us.

(After the battle...)

Lasswell: Phew! Now there was a fight to test the mettle.

Fina: But we did it, didn't we!

Rain: Finally, we've reached the summit. This would have been so much easier if we had an airship...

FFBE Script part 26: Nature's Fury

Previously...

LANZELT - NATURE'S FURY - LANZELT SNOWFIELDS OPENING

Rain(grumble): I don't ever want to climb another peak.

Lasswell: Well, then. Aren't you lucky, Rain? This tundra is flat and goes on forever.

Rain: Forever, huh? I hope not. I don't do so well with the cold.

Fina(🎵): I love cold weather! And hot weather, too, in fact. And cool weather... And warm weather!

Rain: So, basically... You're saying you love everything?

Fina: Yup! I guess I am!

Lasswell: Come on. Let's get moving if we ever want to get out of this snow.

-----------

LANZELT - NATURE'S FURY - LANZELT SNOWFIELDS 1

Fina: The snow! It's so white! Brrr... and cold!

Lasswell: This is no place for frolicking, Fina.

Fina: Rain! Lasswell! We should have a snowball fight!

Lasswell: Maybe on the other side of this real fight.

(Battle commences. There is no further dialogue afterwards.)

---------------

LANZELT - NATURE'S FURY - LANZELT SNOWFIELDS 2

Fina: Look! Snow is falling! It's so beautiful...

Lasswell: A snowstorm is the last thing we need. We should hurry onward.

Fina: Whatever can be wrong with snow? It's so delicate and pretty!

Rain: Monsters are bad enough, but at least you can fight your way past them... But there's no fighting the forces of nature.

Lasswell: Heed what Rain says, Fina. He has the right of it.

Fina: Got it! I'll stay on nature's good side!

(Battle commences. There is no further dialogue.)

--------------

LANZELT - NATURE'S FURY - LANZELT SNOWFIELDS 3

Fina: So this is the force of nature... It's amazing!

Rain: Lasswell! I see a light!

Lasswell: There's someone else up here? But are they friend...or foe?

Rain: Either way, if we stay here, we'll freeze to death. Let's go!

(Wave 1 commences, and leads to a boss battle against Flamesblade. Afterwards...)

Lasswell: What was that thing?

Rain: Whatever it was, we won, didn't we? Whew! I could use a good nap!

Lasswell: It was nice knowing you. Fina and I shall each snap a finger off your frozen corpse, as a keepsake.

Fina: Ew, no! I don't want anyone's frozen finger!

Lasswell: Then, Fina, every time his eyes start to close, you must give him a good, hard slap.

Fina: Leave it to me! KA-POW!

Rain: Ow! I'm awake! I'm awake, already!

----------------

LANZELT - NATURE'S FURY - LANZELT SNOWFIELDS ENDING

Rain: We've been walking a pretty long time. How much further is it to these ruins then, Lasswell?

(Lasswell stops and gets (..) over his head. Rain and Fina turn to look at him. Rain gets (...) and steps closer to Lasswell.)

Rain: We're not lost, are we?

Lasswell: We just got a bit turned around in that last snowstorm.

Fina(💡): Meaning...that we're lost, right?

Lasswell(grumble): ...Yes, you could say that.

(Rain looks around.)

Rain: There's a snow rat nest over there. That's the way we should go.

Lasswell: And why is that?

Rain: Snow rats' prey don't live on the tundra. They make their nests near its edge so they can venture out to find food. If we keep an eye our for nests, we should make it off the tundra. And hopefully to the ruins. It doesn't seem like there are many places to for prey to hide around here, other than those ruins.

Fina: Wow, amazing! You never let us down, Rain!

Lasswell(...): Indeed. Thank you, Rain. Next time I'll be sure to tell you right away if I lose my way.

FFBE Script part 27: Make Haste, Not Waste

 Previously...

LANZELT - MAKE HASTE, NOT WASTE - WOLFSFANG OPENING

Rain: What do you think the Sworn Six of Paladia want in these ruins? More importantly, what do they even hope to achieve by destroying the crystals? You don't have any idea, Fina?

Fina(...): No... I'm sorry. But I don't.

Rain(...): They don't seem to be after riches, and they don't seem to be revolutionaries... Without any of the usual motives, I can only think that they are...dangerous.

Lasswell: ...Yes, I agree. They are definitely dangerous.

Fina(🎵): Well, then... Let's just capture that armored man and get the truth out of him!

------------------

LANZELT - MAKE HASTE, NOT WASTE - WOLFSFANG 1

Lasswell: Did the Sworn Six pass this way...?

Rain: At least we know that this will take us to the ruins. We're following the snow rats' burrows, after all.

Fina: But we'll never catch up to the man in armor this way!

Lasswell: This is true. If only there were a shortcut....

(Wave 1 of battle commences, and progresses to wave 2.)

Fina: Good idea! We should search for one!

Rain: No. If we get lost, we'll only fall further behind. It's like they say: slow and steady...catches the worm.

Fina: I've never heard that before! You're so wise, Rain!

Lasswell: Hmph. He didn't even get it right....

(Wave 2 commences. There is no further dialogue.)

----------------

LANZELT - MAKE HASTE, NOT WASTE - WOLFSFANG 2

Rain: I've got a bad feeling...

Fina: Yes, I feel it too...

Lasswell: What? Both of you now!?

Rain: There's as monster ahead...and a deadly one, I'm sure of it.

(Wave 1 commences, and leads to a boss fight against a Frost Dragon.)

Lasswell: Look out! A dragon!

Rain: A dragon? Here? You have got to be kidding me....

Fina: Well! Now we know what that bad feeling was.

Rain: Gah! We'll just have to fight!

(There is no dialogue after battle.)

-----------------

LANZELT - MAKE HASTE, NOT WASTE - WOLFSFANG ENDING

Fina: We somehow managed to win!

Rain: That was tough... Even for us.

Lasswell (...): Yes, that last monster was strong... But if we are so challenged by a mere monster, then how can we ever hope to defeat those armored bastards?

Rain: Lasswell... What good will it do us to go into battle thinking that we'll lose?

Lasswell(...): I suppose there's some truth to that.

Fina(!): I can see light there! An exit!

Rain: Then it's time we see the Lanzelt ruins!

Fina: Finally! We will face the Sworn Six of Paladia!

Lasswell: So it would seem...

Rain: You still think we can't we in, Lasswell?

Lasswell(...): More or less. There is certainly more chance of us losing than there is of us winning.

Rain: Then why come so far with us?

Lasswell: The greatest chance of defeat...would be if I fought these enemies alone. But with you, Rain... With you, I don't mind giving it a shot.

Fina(🎵): Exactly! And you've got me, too, you know!

Lasswell: That I do. I'll be counting on you, Fina.

Rain: Right... Then here we go!
