FFBE Script part 62: Advantages and Disadvantages

OLDERION FEDERATION - ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES - OLD OLDERION 1
Rain: They just keep coming... We'll never stop battling at this rate!
Olderion Soldier: News from the scouts, sir! More invaders have been spotted in the north!
Elle: In the north!? Arsha!
(Elle runs off.)
Nichol: Elle! Wait!
Rain: Hey! Are you really going to let him go out there alone?
Nichol: If I leave now, the line will not hold for long. If it is breached, many civilians will die.
Rain: I know that... but... he's your little brother!
Nichol: Yes. He is. Faced with a choice between saving one life or one hundred lives... you must choose the hundred. That is creed of the tactician. Elle knows that as well as anybody. (That, and... he should be able to survive long enough for me to reach him...)
Rain: That's ridiculous. If the choice is to save one person or a hundred people... then save both! That is the creed of a Grandshelt knight!
(Rain rushes off after Elle.)
Nichol: Rain, wait! We cannot afford to lose you as well.
Lasswell: Fear not. I will make up for his loss. He can save that one life. I will save the hundred.
(Lasswell draws his weapon.)
Lasswell: We are knights of Grandshelt, after all!

(Elle stands before Arsha. Monsters are advancing on them.)
Elle: Are you okay, Arsha!? I'll keep you safe!
(Rain rushes in and draws his sword!)
Elle: Rain!? What are you doing here?
Rain: I don't doubt that you can protect Arsha on your own, Elle. But the sooner we sort out this little mess, the sooner we can go back and help Nichol.
Elle: "This little mess"? Do you realize what we're up against?
Rain: What are you worried about? Pray disentangle your undergarments, brave Elle, for with both of us fighting together, we'll have this taken care of in two shakes of a trained lamb's hoof.
Elle: ...You're trying to make it sound trivial so I don't lose my nerve, is that it?
Rain: I don't think so. I'm just being my usual self, I promise!
Elle: Hm... fine then. Seems like I owe you an apology. I was pretty rude to you when we first met. You're a knight. And you can use the power of visions. I guess I was jealous. But now it's time I was honest. So thank you, Rain. I'm really glad you came after me.
Rain: Thank me if you like... but not until we're both out of this place in one piece. Well, two pieces. One piece each, I mean.
Elle: All right, I get it. Arsha! Watch this! I will protect you!
Arsha: Are you all right, Elle? Your sword hand is shaking...
Elle: N-never fear, my love! I am merely trembling with excitement for the coming battle!

OLDERION FEDERATION - ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES - OLD OLDERION ENDING
(The party is all back together by Nichol.)
Nichol: It seems we managed to keep the city safe.... somehow. But... it is only a matter of time until the next attack occurs.
Elle: Damn it... Why is this all happening now...
Luka: It is the water. The defilement of our holy waters must be causing this. We should hurry to the lake and see for ourselves what has befallen the water god...
Nichol: Luka is right. But if we bring any soldiers with us at this critical time, we may imperil the city by thinning its defenses....
Rain: Then why don't we escort you there?
Nichol(...): You still have not told us what it is that brought you here to Olderion.
Rain: We want to go to the Water Shrine.
Nichol(?): The Water Shrine?
Rain: This may sound hard to believe, but right now, there is a mysterious group of people out there who are traveling the world, destroying the crystals.
Luka: But the Water Crystal... I have placed a barrier upon the shrine. It will repel any intruders.
Rain: Well, that... is just another reason that we need to keep you safe.
Nichol: I see... So these villains will also come to attack my sister.
Lid: But in that case... if Luka goes to the lake, wouldn't that be playing right into their hands? Like, this could all be a big setup, you know? So they can ambush you!
Luka: Nonetheless, I must go. I am the Water Priestess. Such is my duty.
Nichol: (Strawberry-brain is right, though... This could indeed be a trap. If these villains of Rain speaks think to entrap us... we shall have our surprise ready for them.)
Elle: Brother, you should go with Luka, too. We will keep the aquapolis safe. And... You can trust Rain. Arsha and I will both vouch for him.
Nichol: Elle... I understand, Elle. The city is in your hands, then.
