DIRNADO - THE IDENTITY OF THE VERITAS - GALEBREAK 1
Lid: The Wind Shrine should be just beyond this barrier.
Lasswell: Surely, Veritas of the Heavens will be waiting for us there.
Rain: I don't know who he is or what he wants, but I do know that we have to put a stop to him.
(Wave 1 of battle commences, and leads to wave 2.)
Rain: You don't need to involve yourself in this fight, Lid. Go ahead and search for the crystal you need.
Lid: What are you talking about? We came here together, so we're sure as hell gonna take on this Veritas together.
Rain: but Lid...
Lid: Don't worry your pretty little head about it, Rain. Good company makes the road shorter, right?
(Wave 2 of battle commences, and leads to wave 3.)
Lid: You gotta understand, I wanna find out who this Veritas is, too!
Lasswell: That dwarf said he saw the villain's face under his mask, isn't that right?
Lid: He sure did. I can't imagine what could have made him so terrified...
(Wave 3 commences, and leads to a boss battle!)
Lid: It couldn't be... This... this ain't the typhon, is it!?
Rain: You know about this thing?
Lid: It's the legendary monster that attacks airships! All technicians know about it! The first Cid dedicated his life to protecting the Wind Shrine, to try and appease it, see?
Lasswell: Legends are only stories. Right now we must focus on the real enemy before us, whatever it is!
(Battle commences! There is no dialogue afterward.)

DIRNADO - THE IDENTITY OF THE VERITAS - GALEBREAK ENDING
(The four are standing outside the barrier. Bodies lay strewn across the ground.)
Fina: This is... terrible... How could anyone...
Veritas of the Heavens: Wretched fools.
(The party gets ! over their heads!)
Veritas of the Heavens: When those who crawl upon the earth dare to reach for the heavens... death is the only suitable reward.
Rain: That's enough! Just... enough out of you! Who the hell do you think you are, anyway!?
Veritas of the Heavens: Must I repeat myself? You should look upon the heavens with awe... Lowly creature of the dirt that you are.
(Rain looks around in all directions, searching for Veritas.)
Rain: Well you're a coward; that's what you are! Stop hiding and show yourself!
(The four run forward. Rain draws his sword.)
Rain: I'll bring you down to earth, you thug! You're lower than dirt, you hear me!? And that's where I'll put you!
Lasswell: Rain! Calm yourself!
Rain: You expect me to stay calm in the face of this butchery!? These damn people... A human life is worth no more to them than an insect beneath their feet! Isn't this why we're hunting them!? To stop them from destroying more lives!? So why... Why do we have to witness a scene like this again...
(Rain bows his head.)
Lid: So that's what all this was about, huh? That's the reason you're all on this journey?
(Lid paces back and forth a few times.)
Lid: I guess that settles it, then. I hope you've got some deep pockets, 'cause I've just made this a long-term engagement. I'm sticking with you guys! And... when I finish my airship, I'll take you on it anywhere you want, see?
Fina(!): You will? Really, Lid!?
Lid: You bet. So listen, Rain... pull yourself together! We're gonna stop them, ain't we? Ain't we?
Rain: Then what are we waiting for!?
Lid: Then we can't go falling to pieces here can we? We'll settle this once and for all at the Wind Shrine!
(Lid has joined the party!)
