FFBE Script part 104: Fight for Destiny
Previously...
MAGI NATION MYSIDIA - FIGHT FOR DESTINY - NAMELESS RUINS 1
(The party enters the chamber of the crystal.)
Lid: Really? So Mysidia's crystal is kept in a place like this?
(Rain gets a ! over his head and turns to Sakura.)
Rain: Which crystal is it?
Sakura: This is the Crystal of Light.
Lasswell: Light? I thought that Mysidia housed the Ice Crystal.
Rain: That's right. There are supposed to be only two crystals remaining in the world.... The Lightning Crystal in Pharm... and the Ice Crystal in Mysidia. I've never heard of any Light Crystal.
Jake: Huh? Hold on a moment. You said Pharm and Mysidia? That's not what I've always heard.
Lid: What? What do you mean?
Sakura: You are both right, and you are both wrong. After all, I've been spreading conflicting tales of the crystals' locations around the world, to make things more difficult for the Veritas.
Rain: You what?
Sakura: The Lightning Crystal and the Ice Crystal no longer exist. They were destroyed long ago by someone else. The only one left who knows which crystals remain and where they are housed... is me.
Nichol: Indeed.... So it is your campaign of misinformation that has kept the Veritas from swooping down and destroying all of the crystals at once.
Sakura: It's worked pretty well, if I do say so myself. But that strategy has reached its limit.
???: I would say so. What underhanded games you play.
(Rain gets a !, and the party turns. Two Veritas appear on balconies above them.)
Rain: Veritas!
Sakura: So you came... Earthlord. And if it isn't the Veritas of the Light.
Veritas of the Light: ....
(Veritas of the Light casts a spell. Sakura gets a ! over her head, then is thrown a few steps away, falling to her knees.)
Rain: Sakura!
Sakura: Ugh... Ridiculous... When did you gain such power? You're nothing like the Lightlord of old...
Veritas of the Light: Traitors like you are not needed in this world. This is what comes of casting aside your armor. I will not let you did a simple death. For you, I will take the time to carve you apart piece by piece.
Fina: Sakura!
(Fina rushes towards Sakura, but Earthlord jumps down from the balcony, landing in front of her. The party is driven back outside.)
Veritas of the Earth: Fina. Do you remember me?
Fina: Get out of the way! I don't know you!
Veritas of the Earth(...): You don't know me? Really?
(Earthlord takes a few steps towards Fina.)
Veritas of the Earth: Then I shall have to force you to remember.
Fina(backing up): Y-you want to fight? I'll fight you!
Veritas of the Earth: No.. You are not a warrior of Hess. To cross blades with you would be unfair. Lowly monsters are enough for you.
(Earthlord sets his shield in front of himself, preparing for battle.)
MAGI NATION MYSIDIA - FIGHT FOR DESTINY - NAMELESS RUINS 2
(The party rushes back into the ruins to confront the two Veritas. Sakura's still on her knees behind the Veritas.)
Veritas of the Earth: Yes... Seeing you fight now confirms it. Fina. You are worthless as you are now.
Fina: What?
(Veritas of the Earth takes a step forward.)
Veritas of the Earth: Is this what comes of the great Demon of Hess lending her power to a pack of humans? Is that what has made you so weak? You should return to your true form. For my sake, Fina.
(Veritas of the Earth begins to glow, and Rain and Fina get ! over their heads.)
Rain: Watch it, guys! That one's got something up his sleeve!
Veritas of the Light: You can just stay still.
(Veritas of the Light flashes brightly, and the party falls to its knees.)
Rain: Augh! My eyes!
Veritas of the Light: Go on, Earthlord. Do what you will. Unleash that inexhaustible power of yours.
(Fina, who was still standing, takes a few steps back.)
Veritas of the Earth: Now, Fina! I'll free you from the confines of that wretched form!
(Veritas of the Earth hurls a yellow ball of light at Fina. She's enveloped in a glow.)
Rain: Fina!
Fina: What... is this...? It doesn't feel like an attack... It's more like... I'm being filled with power...
(Fina glows brightly, and turns into her dark form.)
Fina: This... This is... Earthlord, what the hell were you thinking?
Veritas of the Earth: That's the first thing you have to say to me after 700 years? You must know what I was thinking. You know what I want. It is the one thing we have always desired from each other!
(Fina takes a few steps forward.)
Fina: ...To fight to the death, of course!
Veritas of the Earth: Exactly!
(The camera pans up to focus on Sakura.)
Sakura: (This will no do... If Fina should fall here...)
(There is a flash as Sakura teleport to the middle of the party.)
Sakura: All of you! Withdraw from this battle!
Rain: What are you saying? If we run now, they'll destroy the crystal!
Sakura: There will still be one crystal left to protect, though! But if you are destroyed here and now, all will be lost!
(Sakura glows, and teleports the party away.)
Veritas of the Earth: You would abandon this crystal to flee with your lives?
Veritas of the Light: Hmph. It's pointless either way. We'll find the last one in no time, no matter what you do.
(The two Veritas walk to the crystal, and Lightlord destroys it.)
Veritas of the Light: And now just one crystal remains.
Veritas of the Earth: The time is finally here. The day that was promised.
(The scene shifts to outdoors, some distance away. The party appears in a flash of light.)
Sakura: Hah... It seems we managed to get away.
(Jake get a ! over his head.)
Jake: Wh-what--! Whence such heavenly beauty, and is she staying?
Lid: AH, sheesh. She turned into THAT Fina again?
Jake: Fina? That's Fina? Seriously? When did she even have the time to change outfits and do all that makeup and everything!?
Lid: We'll explain it all later, so just... shut up for now, would you? Or permanently, if you like.
Rain: Fina? Are you okay?
Fina: Heh... So we meet again. Rain. And how have you been doing? Perhaps your well being isn't what we should be discussing, though.
Rain: Huh?
Fina: You know that the other Fina was born when I lost my true power. She was all that remained, then....
Nichol: Yes.. And now the Earthlord shared his own power to restore you to your former self.
Fina: Full point. You are as quick to understand as ever, Nichol.
Lid: So the Fina in front of us right now is...
Fina: Exactly. I am completely myself once again. I am just as I was 700 years ago... before I was sealed in that crystal. But... as a result of that, the other Fina is on the verge of dissolving within me.
Rain: Fina... will disappear?
Fina: And if she does, that Fina will never again appear before you. That doesn't matter much to me, of course, but... I thought you all deserved to know, at least.
Lid: We can't let that happen! I don't want Fina to disappear!
Jake: The simple and innocent Fina... and this sexy bombshell Fina... isn't there a way to have both of them?
Lid: You shut your slobbering pie hole. If you want a bombshell, I could arrange for you to be blown to pieces.
Rain: Isn't there some way to save Fina?
Fina (turning away): I'm sorry. I don't know of any.
Sakura: ...If you wish to save her, then there is one way.
(The party, minus Fina and Sakura, get ! over their heads at this.)
Sakura: You must go into Fina's mind, and stop what remains of her from being destroyed.
Lid(...): Well, yeah, that's what we'd like to do... but how the heck do you go into someone's mind?
Sakura: Explanation can wait till after. If you want to save her, you must hurry and come with me at once.
(Sakura turns and begins walking off.)
Lid: What? Wh-where are we going?
Sakura: To the Magic Lirbrary.
(Sakura walks off, and the party follows.)
