DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- DESIRERS OF DESTRUCTION -- DESOLATE LANDING 1
(Dark Elf is shambling along. He looks around, and walks some more. The party hurries up behind him.)
Sakura: There he is! Dark Elf!
Dark Elf: Freedom... Destruction... Crys... tal...
(The party hurries to Dark Elf, who turns as they approach.)
Dark Fina: I'm not eager to fight a former comrade, but... it doesn't look like I've got much choice.
Fina: Yes. We have to protect the last crystal, no matter what!
(Rain readies for battle.)
Rain: Let's go, everybody!
DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- DESIRERS OF DESTRUCTION -- DESOLATE LANDING 2
(Dark Elf backs a few steps away from the party.)
Lid: Did we do it!?
(Dark Elf glows!)
Lid: Um... Does he seem... a little weird to anyone else?
Dark Fina(!): No, no, no! Everyone, get down!
(There is a sound, and the screen fills with light emanating from Dark Elf. When the light retreats, the party is laying on the ground.)
Dark Elf: Crystal.. Destruction... Freedom...
(He walks a few steps forward as he speaks, then walks off screen. Lasswell gets up on his knees.)
Lasswell: How... How can he be so powerful?
Jake: I know, right? I can't even move my body...
(Nichol gets up on his knees.)
Nichol: How careless of us... Dark Elf was storing up magic the entire time we were battling.
Sakura(!): No! Not now... Not when we're nearly--!
Lid: Sakura! What's wrong?
(Fina and Rain get up on their knees. The only one still laying prone is Dark Fina.)
Sakura: My sister... She's close.
Lid: What!?
(Lightlord enters.)
Veritas of the Light: Hmph. I saw everything. You truly are naive. Dark Elf won't be defeated by moves like that.
Lid: This... this is bad. Why did she have to show up now?
(Lightlord steps closer to Sakura.)
Veritas of the Light: ...I can't believe how lucky I've been to get this chance.
Sakura: Sister...
(A halo of crystals surrounds Lightlord, and she disappears.)
Sakura: What!?
(Lightlord reappears behind the party, next to Rain.)
Veritas of the Light: You. Raegen's son. Rain. You should be the first to die.
Rain: Ugh!
Sakura: Sister. Wait. If you want to kill someone, then kill me.
(Lasswell stands.)
Lasswell: Stop! You will not lay a finger on Rain!
(Fina stands.)
Fina: We will protect him!
(Lightlord gets (...) at this.)
Sakura: Sister?
Veritas of the Light: There is no thrill in killing those who can't even fight back.
(She turns and begins to walk off.)
Veritas of the Light: You all can just keep lazing about here. I will defeat Dark Elf. I won't let anyone else destroy the Dark Crystal. I will destroy it with my own two hands.
(She walks a few more steps, but stops as Sakura speaks.)
Sakura: You think you can take Dark Elf on your own, sister? It's impossible. Even for you. You'll die.
Veritas of the Light: I'll die? Don't make me laugh. I've already died twice. First when Aldore betrayed me. Then when you did.
(She walks away.)
Sakura: Sister....
DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- DESIRERS OF DESTRUCTION -- DESOLATE LANDING 3
(The party is hurrying along. They all come to a stop with a ! as they hear something.)
Fina: What's that noise?
Jake: Is that the sound of Lightlord and Dark Elf fighting?
Dark Fina: Probably.
Lasswell: She's a fool... Trying to take on Dark Elf alone? She could have all the visions in the world, and it would still be suicidal.
Fina: Why do you think it is... that Lightlord wants to destroy the crystal herself?
Sakura: Because she has nothing else. No other reason left to live for.
Rain: She really is hopeless, isn't she... The Veritas of the Light.
Sakura: ...Yes. She is.
Lasswell: Let's hurry. It doesn't matter to us which wins. It will not change what we have to do.
Nichol: Yes. We must protect the last crystal.
(They hurry on. The scene shifts to Lightlord and Dark Elf.)
Veritas of the Light: Hah...hah...hah...
(She slowly walks towards Dark Elf.)
Veritas of the Light: You... beast...
(Dark Elf moves towards her.)
Veritas of the Light: Don't... Don't stand in my way!!!
(Lightlord rushes Dark Elf, who casts his devastating magic spell again. The scene ends as the light fills the screen.)
