FFBE Script part 129: Awakening of Power
Previously....
DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- AWAKENING OF POWER -- GRONOA SHRINE INTERIOR 1
(the party is in the shrine.)
Rain: So this is where the last crystal is? We're here at last, Lassell.
(Lasswell has his back turned to the party. He gets a (...) over his head.)
Lasswell: (What was that yesterday...? What happened during that training session?)
(He bows his head.)
Lasswell: That feeling... as though a great door had opened within me.) (Ever since that moment, I've felt my body flooded with power.)
Rain: Hey. Lasswell, what is it? What's wrong?
(Lasswell gets a ! and turns to face Rain.)
Lasswell: What? Ah... Yes. As you said. The final battle at last.
Fina: Do you think we'll be able to protect the crystal from the Veritas?
Rain: Of course we will. We've gotten so strong during our journey.
(Dark Fina gets a ! over her head.)
Dark Fina: This feeling.... Looks like there are monsters gathering in the shrine. They were probably drawn by the negative aura that Dark Elf projected.
Lid: So... I guess we'll warm up for our final battle with a bit of good old-fashioned monster clean up!
Jake: Yeah? I guess I could get behind that. My future wife should be good at cleaning up messes. My lovely Lid. You're going to take such good care of me, aren't you?
Lid: Sure. You can count on me.
Jake: Wha... Y-you mean you'll....
Lid: Of course. I'm gonna take re-e-eal good care of you. And those insane fantasies of yours!!!
Jake: What!?
Nichol(...): Come. If you're done with your usual act, I believe there are some monsters that still need cleaning up.
Lid: Our usual "act?" What do you mean by that, Nichol?
Jake: That's right. There's no acting here. Our love is real.
Lid: Whose love!?
(She hits Jake with her hammer.)
Jake: Gurk! Uuuunh. Just as real as this pain is...
(The party moves on.)
DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- AWAKENING OF POWER -- GRONOA SHRINE INTERIOR 2
(There is the sound of a katana being wielded, and a purple streak lights the screen. When the scene appears, Rain and Lasswell have just dispatched a monster. Lasswell turns to Rain.)
Lasswell: What's wrong, Rain? It's not like you to move so slowly in battle.
Rain: Huh?
Lasswell: Don't let your guard down simply because we';ve defeated Dark Elf. You always let your guard down too soon. It's a dangerous habit.
Rain: Y-yeah... You're right.
(Lasswell turns his back to Rain.)
Lasswell: Of course I am. Not that you ever seem to learn.
(Lasswell walks off. Rain gets a (...) over his head.)
Rain: (I never let my guard down, though. I was fighting with everything I had that whole time.)
(Rain bows his head.)
Rain: (But Lasswell thought I was moving slow? What is going on...?)
(Nichol and Sakura approach Rain.)
Sakura: All right. It looks as though we're done cleaning up the monsters.
(Nichol turns to Sakura.)
Nichol: So... shall we ready an ambush here for the Veritas?
Sakura: Yes, we probably should...
(Sakura gets a ! and walks a few steps in the direction Lasswell went.)
Sakura: No... This feeling is... But it can't be. How could he...
Rain: Sakura? What is it?
Sakura: There's something I need to check. There is a small village up ahead. Rain. I need to go there.
Rain: But... but we don't know when the Veritas will strike...
Sakura: This has to do with them. I will hurry.
(Sakura rushes off.)
Rain: Hey! Wait! Sakura!
(Rain and Nichol rush after her. The scene shifts to the Invincible. Flamelord stands at the railing on deck. Darklord approaches him.)
Veritas of the Dark: Flamelord. I'd been looking for you. What are you doing in a place like this?
Veritas of the Flame: Oh... Darklord... I was just thinking about Frostlord, that's all.
(Darklord joins him at the railing.)
Veritas of the Dark: Frostlord...
(A flashback begins. Frostlord stands before Flamelord and Darklord.)
Veritas of the Frost: The Eight Sages of Hess are near. Why don't you move?
Veritas of the Flame: Just working out the final details of my plan. So wait for Darklord's sign.
(Darklord gets a (...) over his head.)
Veritas of the Frost: What's there to decide? If you're having that much trouble with it, why don't I go take care of all eight on my own? You won't need any plan that way.
(Frostlord begins to leave, but stops and turns back as Darklord speaks.)
Veritas of the Dark: Frostlord. Taking such actions alone will not be forgiven. You will wait for your orders.
Veritas of the Frost: Forgiven? Who do you think you're talking to?
(Frostlord glows.)
Veritas of the Frost: I do not fight meaningless battles. I do not fight the unworthy. I'm not interested in fighting anyone who is not equal to myself in strength. So what about you, Darklord? Are you strong enough to be able to stop me?
Veritas of the Dark: ......... Do as you will then. I will not stop you.
(Frostlord stops glowing.)
Veritas of the Frost: Coward.
(Frostlord leaves. The scene returns to present day.)
Veritas of the Flame: Was it because you knew what kind of battle was waiting for us? Was that why you didn't take part?
Veritas of the Dark: Yes. That's right.
Veritas of the Flame: I wonder what would have happened... if you'd taken part...
Veritas of the Dark: I don't know. But it seems impossible to think that we would have both walked away unharmed.
Veritas of the Flame: Too bad that we'll never get the chance to fight again. It's been 700 years though. There's no way Frostlord could still be alive, right?
Veritas of the Dark: ......
(Darklord moves as if to leave but stops as Flamelord speaks.)
Veritas of the Flame: Nevermind all that. What did you need from me? You said you were looking for me, right?
Veritas of the Dark: The preparations are complete. We're heading for Lazarov's lab now.
Veritas of the Flame: Right... So the time's finally come to use that thing, huh?
(They walk on, and the scene ends.)
