FFBE Script part 97: No Matter How Far Away
Previously...
ZOLDAAD EMPIRE -- NO MATTER HOW FAR AWAY -- DOWNTOWN ZOLDAAD 2
Jake: Prince Shera... Ah, I beg your pardon. Emperor Shera. Please do your best to rebuild Zoldaad, and restore its soul.
Emperor Shera: Of course. I fully intend to. And, Jake... If you wish to... I would be happy to have you remain here in Zoldaad, as well.
Jake: Emperor Shera. I think you know better than to make such an offer. But no matter how far I am from Zoldaad and you, I will always be watching over you both. I hope that will be enough.
Emperor Shera: Yes.... I understand.
Evan: I am going to remain here and continue my airship research, with the support of Emperor Shera.
Emperor Shera: I plan to have Evan build us airships that will aid us in times of peace, now.
Evan: Even if I was being manipulated by someone else, that doesn't just wipe away what I did. That's why... I've got to do whatever I can to atone for that.
Lid: I'm sure you'll do a whole lot! You're the man that Cid himself acknowledged, after all.
(Jake and Lid walk away from the Emperor and Evan, joining the rest of the party.)
Jake: Then I guess it's time I atoned for my crimes as well. I did destroy the crystal, after all. So, Rain. It looks like I'll be joining you. Let me redeem myself by helping you in your fight to protect the remaining crystals.
Rain: I understand. Welcome aboard, Jake.
Lid: Sounds like a convenient excuse to me. Really, you just wanna keep chasing me and Fina around, ain't that right? You pervert.
Jake(...): ...I deny that absolutely.
Lid: See, that hesitation right there is why I don't believe you.
Jake: Ha ha ha ha! Well, why should I avoid the company of two beautiful women? My lovely Lid! My sweet Fina! And you other fellows are tolerable enough, too!
(Rain, Nichol, and Lasswell get irritated at this.)
Lid: ...You see? You see what we're stuck with now? Just look at him.
(Jake has joined the party!)
(The scene shifts to the Veritas. Darklord and Flamelord are standing outside. Heavenlord appears in a whirlwind.)
Veritas of the Flame: Oh, Heavenlord! You're back? Did you fight them?
Veritas of the Heavens: My purpose in going there was not to battle Rain and his allies. I was there to take bqack the Invincible.
Veritas of the Flame: What? So you didn't even fight? I would've come along if I'd known you were gonna wimp out like that. I don't like letting them go on thinking they've beat us.
Veritas of the Dark: Flamelord.. What does victory mean to us? These petty battles are like butterflies. Chasing them can only lead us off the path of true victory.
Veritas of the Flame: Yeah, yeah. I know that. Damn smug butterflies...
Veritas of the Dark: Look. We have nearly come to the end. Our goal lies just ahead.
(The scene pans up. The earth cracks in front of them.)
