KOLOBOS ISLE - SIGHTS ON DIRNADO - GHOST PORT KOLOBOS 2

Rain: I'm afraid... this is where we say good-bye, Emma. We have to continue on to Dirnado.

(Lasswell steps forward.)

Lasswell: Emma... Do you have a place to go?

Emma: Don't worry. There's a very nice lady who has said she'll take me in anytime.

Lasswell: Is that so? That is good to hear.

Emma(...): I won't be sad. My mom is still with me in my heart. Now I can carry her memory inside me, with pride and free of doubts.

Lasswell: Good. That's very good.

Emma: Lasswell... Rain.... Fina. I'll carry you three in my heart, too. We'll meet again someday, won't we? Promise?

Rain: Yeah. That's a promise.

Lasswell: Let's go, Rain. The ship is going to leave.

Fina: Goodbye, Emma! You be good!

(Rain and Fina leave, followed by Lasswell after a minute. They stop before boarding the ship.)

Rain: Lasswell... Your eyes are wet.

Lasswell(!): Th-that is because of the wind! That's all it is!

Rain: No need to be embarrassed.

Fina: Yes, that's right! You can cry if you need to!

Lasswell(grumbling): I hate you both.

(Lasswell boards the ship, followed by the other two. The ship sets sail. A little while into the journey...)

Fina(🎵): Rain! Lasswell! Bring a fishing rod! And quick!

Rain: A fishing rod? Did you see a fish?

Fina: Yeah! A huge one! Look! Right here!

(They look off the bow of the ship to see something large swimming around. They get ! over their heads as the crew starts running around.)

Lasswell: Fina! That's no fish!

Rain: That's a leviathan!

Fina: A leviathan?

Lasswell: This is bad, Rain!

(There is a whirlpool in the sea caused by the leviathan. Fina crouches down in fear.)

Fina: Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!

Rain: Fina! Lasswell! Find something to hold onto and hold on!

FFBE Script part 42: Lightning's Judgment

Previously...

KOLOBOS ISLE - LIGHTNING'S JUDGMENT - THUNDER SUMMIT OPENING

Lasswell: We've come this far. Are we ready to fight the esper Ramuh?

Rain: No problem. The people in town said this Ramuh was really wise, right?

Fina: So you think you can talk him into helping us? Like, if we just explain the situation to him, maybe he'll lend us his power?

Lasswell(...): You want to talk an esper into helping? If only it were that easy every time... He may be wise, but that does not mean that he will share our values. Espers are far more powerful than any human being. The powerful don't generally have much sympathy for the problems of the weak.

Fina(!): You mean....

Lasswell: I mean why should any esper care what happens to humans like us? We are like insects before them.

Rain(🎵): We may not be the same, but we still live in the same world, don't we? If our world is in danger, then the same must be true for them, too. Don't you think they want to protect it?

Lasswell(sweating): ...I certainly hope they do.

Fina: I'm sure they do! Let's try talking to Ramuh!

KOLOBOS ISLE - LIGHTNING'S JUDGMENT - JUDGEMENT BOLT 1

Ramuh: You come through my lightning barrier? Wretched humans. What would you do with my power?

Rain: You've noticed it, too, haven't you? This strange change in the world. We're going to stop that!

Ramuh: The human world is always changing. It matters not to me.

Rain: You live in this world. You'll share our fate!

Ramuh: Ridiculous. Do you weak humans fear destruction? Would you struggle in vain against the workings of the world?

Lasswell(!): The workings of the world? So you espers... would accept your own destruction if it was fated?

Ramuh: All creatures have a beginning. All creatures meet their end. I stay here. I watch the changing world. And I bestow judgment upon those who deserve it.

Rain: Like it has nothing to do with you! Then all of your power is as good as nothing!

Ramuh: The howling of powerless dogs... will be drowned out by my thunder! You dare to think that espers and humans are the same!? Know your shame and be struck down by my lightning!

Rain: Why!? Just listen to us!

Lasswell: Give it up! He's coming!

(Battle happens! Afterward...)

Ramuh: ...Impressive. So there are still some children of men who know of courage. I have seen what you are made of.

Lasswell(...): You were testing us?

Ramuh: I was. If all you sought was power... If there was evil in your heart... I would have rendered judgment, and struck you down with my lightning.

Rain: But we're not the ones that need striking down.

Ramuh: I see that. Any who would bring destruction to this world will not be allowed to continue. I am the esper of judgement. I will not neglect my duty!

Fina: Then you'll help us!

Ramuh: I have already stated your worthiness. Take my lightning... Use it for good.

(Ramuh turns to stone.)

Fina: Thank you... Thank you, sir.

KOLOBOS ISLE - LIGHTNING'S JUDGEMENT - JUDGEMENT BOLT 2

(The party approaches Ramuh's statue.)

Rain: This is where we met Ramuh. I feel like something called us here....

???: The time... has come.

(Ramuh turns to flesh once more!)

Ramuh: I have fought beside those with power. This is how an esper grows to greatness. As has been dictated, I will test you. Show me you are worthy of greater power. Children of men... If you wish to judge what is right... Then withstand my lightning!

(Battle happens! Afterwards....)

Rain: Ugh... Did we win?

Ramuh: I have seen your strength. It is my lightning that will bring down justice upon the wrongs of the world. Use my bolts as the hammer that forges the path of righteousness!

(The esper Ramuh evolved! Ramuh turns to stone once more.)

Rain: Don't worry, Ramuh. We will use your new power in a battle that no man could feel ashamed of.
