FFBE Script part 68: The True Form
Previously...
OLDERION FEDERATION - THE TRUE FORM - NEW OLDERION ENDING
(Veritas of the Waters stands in Olderion, holding the glowing artifact. The party runs up to her.)
Rain: So it was you! I suppose this flood is your work as well?
(The glow stops as Veritas of the Waters turns to the party.)
VoW: Heh heh... Doesn't the name "aquapolis" seem so much more fitting this way?
Nichol: The ring he is wearing... That is the sacred vessel of Paladia that was used to injure Leviathan.
Rain: What? What is this sacred vessel thing?
Nichol: The sacred vessel of Paladia. It is a legendary artifact said to multiply magical power many times over.
Lid: And that's how he flooded this whole city? What a jerk!
Fina: Then we just need to do something about that ring!
(Fina rushed Veritas of the Waters, only to be bounced back by a force field.)
Rain: Fina!
Fina: Ugh...
VoW: Foolish child. Did you not think at all? The power of the sacred vessel itself protects me!
Fina: The sacred vessel of Paladia... This is its power?
Rain: Fina! Are you okay? Don't be so reckless; you'll get yourself killed!
(Fina stands.)
Fina: I'm fine... I'm fact, I think I can do something about that thing. I just remembered something.
(She turns to Veritas of the Waters.)
Fina: I know about that sacred vessel!
(Fina rushes Veritas again!)
VoW: Honestly.. Did you not listen the first time? I am protected by the power of the sacred vessel...
(This time Fina isn't thrown back. The force field blows where she has contact with it.)
VoW: Wha... Y-you... What are you doing?
Fina: The sacred vessel of Paladia! Let it go!
VoW: No! I will not! Don't touch me with your filthy hands!
(Fina is thrown back once more!)
Rain: Fina!
(He rushes to her side.)
(Fina kneels, then stands and begins to glow. Her appearance changes. She is now wearing a black veil on her head.)
Fina: How unexpected... I never thought I would return to myself like this...
(She looks around.)
Fina: Olderion has also changed quite a bit since my last visit. How many centuries have passed since then?
VoW: Y-you... You can't be...I
(Fina steps towards Veritas of the Waters.)
Fina: It has been a long time, servant of Aldore. How lucky for me that you're here. Attack me, won't you? Playing with you should be a good warm-up.
(THE scene flashes white. Veritas of the Waters in full form stands before Fina, ready to battle.)
VoW: D-do not mock me, girl!
(Veritas launches water attacks at Fina. They're ineffective.)
Fina: What? You're finished already? Then I guess it's my turn.
(Her did glows as energy is gathered to it. She unleashed an attack that engulfs Veritas of the Waters in a dark bubble of energy.)
VoW: (I never dreamed she would regain Hess's power. I shall have to retreat and regroup.)
(VoW stands, backs up a few steps, and disappears in a funnel of water.)
Fina: Hmmmm. It seems I'm not fully recovered just yet. I used to be able to eliminate someone like you in a single bliw.
Rain: Fina... Y-you are... Fina... Aren't you?
Fina: Oh, Rain. Really, now. You'll make a girl feel like fish food, gawping like that.
Rain: Huh? Oh...uh...sorry?
Fina: My, my... Go on and stare, then. I understand the temptation; it must be quite irresistible for you, poor boy.
Lid: Wh...what the neck is going on? Fina's suddenly acting kinda... Uh... Grown-up, don't you think?
Lasswell: Something like this happened once before... But yes, this time her behavior is even more...unaccountable.
Fina: Lasswell, first of all, just say "strange" if you mean "strange". And secondly, how dare you call me strange! On the contrary: I'm finally being my true self. Now, I believe we have some business to attend to. Or don't you plan to catch that Veritas? As long as he holds the sacred ring of Paladia, he can wreak the same sort of havoc on any city in the world as he did upon Olderion.
Lid: Sure, but how are we supposed to catch him? We don't even know where he ran to.
Fina: Oh, is that all? I can always sense the presence of the sacred vessel. How could I forget it's power? It hurt me badly, a long time ago...
(She focusses for a second.)
Fina(...): North, is it? Yes. That watery louse is somewhere North of here.
Nichol: Somewhere North of here? The only thing North of here is the sea.
Fina: Oh, and once we beat that Veritas and take the sacred vessel from her, we're heading for the Water Shrine.
Nichol: The Water Shrine?
Fina: Yes, dear echo, the Water Shrine. If we borrow a bit of power from the Water Crystal, I can have Olderion back to normal in no time at all.
Rain: Borrow the power of the crystal? Why? How?
Fina: Do you really think I can explain it to you? That's just what crystals are, you know. They're power.
Rain: They're power...? B-but what does that actually mean?
Fina: Rain, look, I know I've gasted your flabber right off, and I know there's a lot you want me to explain to you, and I'm sorry, but... (💗) I simply can't right now. So you're just going to have to suck it up, dear. You're a big boy, aren't you? Look at your big boy armor. You can handle it.
Rain: Wha... I... Yeah, but...
Lasswell(...): (Fina was--is--a warrior of Hess, sealed away within a crystal....) (How much could she tell us about all this madness?)
Elle: Nevermind all that. We know where we need to go, don't we? So let's set out North at once.
Fina: That's the spirit! The quicker the better.
