FFBE Script part 85: Purple Lightning and the Flamelord
Previously...
ZOLDAAD EMPIRE - PURPLE LIGHTNING AND THE FLAMELORD - VOLCANIC GROUNDS OPENING
Rain: Ugh.... This heat! It feels as though we must be close to the Fire Shrine....
Jake: We are. Which means we're nearly to the weapons factory.
Lid: But.... Nichol, are you gonna be okay in this heat? You're a Warden of the Waters, right? Won't you, like, dry out or something?
Nichol: Do you imagine that I am a sahagin in human disguise, Lid?
Rain: I think even a desert sahagin would dry out in heat like this. I swear, if you cracked me open, I'd fry on the ground.
???: Shall I take that as an invitation? Listen to you, mewling like a motherless kitten! Things are only going to get hotter from here on in.
(The party gets ! over their heads. A Veritas appears.)
Rain: Veritas!
???: That's right. I'm one of the Sworn Six of Paladia. The Veritas of the Flame.
Rain: So you're also making for the Fire Shrine, is that it?
(Rain draws his sword.)
Rain: How convenient. How about we just finish you off here and now, then?
Veritas of the Flame: Heh heh... I can never bring myself to truly hate an enemy with a bit of fire in him...
(Veritas of the Flame summons a ball of fire, which knocks Rain and Lasswell to their knees!)
Rain: Guh...
Veritas of the Flame: Oh, come on! You guys can't really be done, can you? I mean, I knew you were weak, but THIS weak? Seriously? This is sad.
Lasswell: Damn it... We're not finished yet! I cannot fall here and leave Rain on his own...!
(Lasswell stands and draws his weapon. Veritas of the Flame gets a ! over his head.)
Veritas of the Flame: Hey... That sword you've got there, boy. Isn't that Purple Lightning?
Lasswell: How... do you know the name of my blade?
Veritas of the Flame: How could I not? I'm the one who made Purple Lightning.
Lasswell: You say that you... made this sword?
Veritas of the Flame: Hah.. So that guy entrusted you with his sword? Too bad then, since it seems like you still haven't mastered it. If you could draw forth the full power of that sword, you wouldn't be losing to me here like this. Man, that sword's former owner would be super bummed to see you waving it around like a wet noodle, with your pissy baby technique.
Lasswell: What did you say!?
Veritas of the Flame: Oh well. I guess I'm outta here. I'm not interested in weaklings like you guys. Flame out.
(He walks away.)
Lasswell: Don't you dare! Stop! Wait! If you're going to go that far to insult us, have the decency to finish the battle!
Rain: Lasswell! Calm down! If we try to fight like this, they'll be nothing left of us but skeletons and ash.
Nichol: Rain is right. We need to recover from the damage he's dealt us. Then we can pursue him.
Lasswell: Of course. Yes. Fine.
(Lasswell turns and walks away.)
Rain(...): (I've never seen Lasswell get that worked up before.) (I know he's attached to Purple Lightning, but I didn't realize just how much it means to him....)

ZOLDAAD EMPIRE - PURPLE LIGHTNING AND THE FLAMELORD - VOLCANIC GROUNDS 1
Jake: That Veritas guy just now... who was that? They're headed for the Fire Shrine too, yeah?
Lid: That's right. We're both aiming for the same place. Our objectives couldn't be any further apart, though.
Jake: I see. I definitely want to find out what this Veritas is up to.
(Round 1 of battle commences, and leads to round 2.)
Lasswell: Darnit! Where is that Veritas of the Flame!
Lid: I've never seen you this worked up before, Lasswell.
Lasswell: ...I'm not worked up.. I'm calm and collected.
Jake: Yeah right. Your face is red with anger. We can all see it.
Rain: (Lasswell... Does he really care that much about his sword...?)
(Round 2 of battle commences. There is no further dialogue.)

ZOLDAAD EMPIRE - PURPLE LIGHTNING AND THE FLAMELORD - VOLCANIC GROUNDS ENDING
Nichol: The Veritas of the Flame must still be ahead of us,.
Jake: Yeah. Looks that way.
Rain: Hey, Lasswell. I know you've always loved that sword, but... Who did you get it from?
Lasswell(...): This sword... Purple Lightning belonged to Sir Raegen.
Rain: My old man?
Jake: Hm? Wait a second...But wouldn't that mean...?
Lid: Rain, your father's sword... was made by the Veritas of the Flame? They knew each other?
Lasswell: I hardly think that's the case. Even if it is true that the Veritas of the Flame forged this sword.... It's most likely that Purple Lightning passed through many hands before it came to be in Sir Raegen's possession.
Rain: I don't care about any of that. I just want to know why you didn't tell me it was his sword. Why keep it a secret?
Lasswell(...): I'm sorry. I regret that it has upset you.
Rain: You've been carrying around that bastard's sword all these years...
Lasswell: Rain. You mustn't speak of him that way.
Rain: Why? He was a bastard. Throw that sword away. I don't want to see it.
Lasswell: Rain... There are some things I will not do, not even for you. Purple Lightning represents the ties between Sir Raegen and myself.....And not only that. It is also a symbol of my bond with you.
Rain: What? What are you talking about? It just sounds like an excuse.
Lasswell: Rain.. You truly know nothing.
Rain: You're the one who doesn't know, Lasswell! You act like you have no idea what he really was!
(Rain walks off. Lasswell gets (...) over his head and follows him.)
Jake: Dear me. I don't know what history you all share, but... it really is embarrassing to witness two grown men squabbling like little girls.
Lid: Nice, Jake. Tactless AND sexist. This is why we love having you around.
Nichol: The true issue here is that the party's offensive capability will be lowered if Rain and Lasswell are at odds with one another.
Lid: They normally make up in no time, but... I dunno. This fight seemed more serious than usual.
(Jake, Nichol, and Lid walk on, leaving Fina behind.)
Fina(...): (I've got to do something at a time like this...)
