DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- THE DARK ELF -- GIGANTIC UNDERGROUND RUINS 1
(The party, including Fohlen and Illias, are walking in the underground ruins. They come to a stop as Dark Fina gets a ! over her head. There is a figure standing nearby.)
Dark Fina: That...
Rain: Fina? What is it?
Dark Fina: That is one of Hess's Eight Sages. Dark Elf.
(The camera centers on Dark Elf, who walks further into the ruins.)
Dark Elf: Freedom.... Destruction...
(Dark Elf appears to cast some magic, perhaps Ultima, as a large circle of light appears around him.)
Dark Fina: So it's true... they are all damaged.
Illias: Wh-what extraordinary power.
Fohlen: I've never seen anything like it....
(The camera centers on Dark Elf again.)
Dark Elf: Death... Death is freedom...
Sakura: (It's as I suspected.... Being trapped in crystal for so long has left its mark upon them.)
Dark Elf: Destruction... is freedom.... Crystal... Destroy the Crystal...
(Dark Elf glows, then disappears. The camera pans back down to the party. Lid gets ! over her head.)
Lid: Hey... Did he... just say something about destroying a crystal?
Nichol: This might become rather inconvenient. We should follow Dark Elf at once.
(The party walks on, but Jake stops Fohlen and Illias.)
Jake: Fohlen. Illias. I want the two of you to return to Zoldaad.
Fohlen: What are you talking about? We've come this far. We'll fight, too.
Illias: We won't get in your way or hold you back. I swear that we can be of help.
(Jake grumbles.)
Jake: I'm not saying that you wouldn't be. I know you'd be a help to us. But.. that's why I... ...You're not going to listen no matter what I say, are you?
Fohlen: Pretty much. I will not retreat.
Jake: Then... fine. Don't fall behind. We've got no time to waste.
DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- THE DARK ELF -- GIGANTIC UNDERGROUND RUINS 2
Fohlen: Jake is just as I imagined, given all the rumors. To believe that womanizer is the brother of Emperor Shera...
Illias: Still, his skill is undeniable.
Fohlen: True, and the former emperor was a bit of a ladies' man himself, too, wasn't he?
Illias: Great men have a taste for the sensual pleasures in life. So they say!
Fohlen: ...Well, promise me they won't say it again. Once is enough.
(Wave 1 of battle commences, leading to wave 2.)
Jake: ...It's a bit awkward, isn't it.
Illias: What is, exactly?
Jake: Until not long ago I was part of the rebel army, and your enemy, more to the point.
Fohlen: The actions you have taken thus far speak volumes of your feelings for Zoldaad. That is why we have come here. There is nothing to be concerned about.
Illias: You are a lot more delicate than I had imagined, Jake.
Jake: More than you imagined...? That's a beautifully phrased insult, Illias. But right back at you.
Illias: Insult!? No, no, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that!
(Wave 2 commences, and leads to wave 3.)
Lasswell: Fohlen and Illias are quite the pair of veterans, it seems.
Nichol: Yes, they make a dependable attack and recoup combo.
Jake: That's for sure. And that's why...
Lid: What is it, Jake? What's with the serious face all of a sudden?
Jake: Sorry everyone. I have something to say. But allow me to tell you after we deal with these guys.
(Wave 3 commences. There is no further dialogue.)

(Fohlen and Illias are walking along, alone. They come to a stop. Illias looks around and gets a !, while Fohlen looks at him with a ?)
Illias: Fohlen! We have a serious problem! Jake and the others are gone!
(Fohlen gets a !)
Fohlen: What!?
(Fohlen turns and looks in the direction they came.)
Fohlen: They couldn't have.. meant to give us the slip?
Illias: We've got to go after them at once! If we go back to the path we took here...
Fohlen(...): No... we're done here. Jake felt he had to do this. That is plain enough to see. We will go back to Zoldaad. And pray that they are successful.
(The scene shifts to the main party, which comes to a halt.)
Lid: Jake... Are you sure we did the right thing?
Jake: They really are the good sort. Which is why Zoldaad will need them, even ore than we do.
Sakura: They are both true warriors, as well. I imagine they will understand why you insisted on this, Jake.
Rain: If it hadn't been for those two, we would have been done in by that miasma. They've already done enough for us.
Fina: There are so many people who have supported us along the way.
Rain: That's right. We'd better not let them down. Come on. We should get a move on. We've got to protect that crystal from Dark Elf.
(They hurry off.)
