FFBE Script part 130: Frozen Edge
Previously...
DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- FROZEN EDGE -- DUGGLE VILLAGE 1
(The scene pans over the town of Duggle Village. Villagers are gathered in small groups. Two townsfolk near the entrance of the village were standing with an older man, but they quickly leave. Four members of our party enter town: Jake, Lid, Lasswell and Fina.)
Lid: What could have happened? The people seem pretty unsettled around here...
Lasswell: Why don't we ask some of the villagers?
(Lasswell approaches the old man. As he does, the rest of the party enters town.)
Lasswell: What is going on? Did something happen here?
Old Man: I never... How could this have... The god... The wrath of our god...
(The man walks away.)
Lasswell: God?
Fina: What does that mean? Maybe we should try someone else?
???: It's no good. It won't change, no matter who you ask.
(A pink-haired woman has approached the party.)
Lid: Who're you?
???: I'm Camille. This town's bodyguard.
Jake: Hey, hey... Are you okay? You're bleeding. Here. Use my handkerchief.
Camille: Thanks. And sorry.
Jake: Not at all. I should be thanking you. For giving me the chance to gaze upon such a strong, beautiful woman.
(Jake gets a ♥ above his head.)
Jake: What do you say? If you're not busy this evening, maybe you and I...
Lid(irritated): "Maybe you and I..." will do what now?
(Jake gets a ! over his head as Lid swings her hammer menacingly. Jake backs away.)
Jake: Nothing. We'll do nothing. Not a blessed thing.
Rain: Camille, right? What happened? How did you get hurt like that?
Camille: Someone hit me from behind. And when I woke up, things were like this. Apparently the village's god disappeared.
Nichol: Their god? What does that mean? Did they worship some sort of idol here?
Camille: I guess? It was some weird suit of armor or something...
Rain: Armor?
Sakura: It must be...
Lid: What!? S-snow!?
(Indeed, a flurry of snow fills the screen.)
Camille: No... no way... What the heck is this...?
(Camille has been partially encased in ice.)
Camille: How can this be...?
(The ice now covers her completely!)
Jake: Camille!
(The snow has stopped, but the camera pans to show the rest of the villagers encased in ice as well.)
Fina: Everyone... everyone is frozen...
Sakura: This power... There is no mistaking it. Frost. This is the work of the Veritas of the Frost.
Rain: What!?
Lid: But... Frostlord died 700 years ago!
Sakura: Over there! I can feel him!
(Sakura rushes off, the rest of the party following.)
DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- FROZEN EDGE -- DUGGLE VILLAGE 2
Sakura: I thought the Frostlord was dead, too. That is to say, I haven't felt his presence over these past 700 years. However, no one ever saw his remains. That means the Frostlord... He could have just been asleep for these past 700 years, for some reason.
(Wave 1 of battle commences and leads to wave 2.)
Jake: So if the Frostlord's been asleep this whole time, it means you don't know everything that's happened up until now?
Sakura: That's fair to say.
Jake: If so, then just like the villainous Veritas you so eloquently explained about to us... We could just recruit him into our group and have him fight alongside us!?
Lid: Yeeeah, I dunno if that';d go over so smoothly.
(Wave 2 of battle commences. There is no further dialogue.)
DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- FROZEN EDGE -- DUGGLE VILLAGE 3
(The party approaches the armor of a Veritas.)
Rain: So this is the Veritas of the Frost.
Sakura: ...Frostlord. It really was you.
Veritas of the Frost: ...Sakura? ...It's been a while. 700 years, I suppose.
Rain: It was you, wasn't it? The one who covered all the villagers with ice.
Veritas of the Frost: Yeah. That was me. I was asleep for 700 years, after all. I needed a bit of a warm up before the real show could begin.
Rain: A... warm up? You've got to be kidding! Turn those people back to normal!
Veritas of the Frost: Certainly. If you can defeat me, I would be happy to release them from the ice.
Rain: Oh, I'd be more than happy to beat you. I'll take you on this instant.
Veritas of the Frost: Are you the strongest?
Rain: What?
Veritas of the Frost: I am asking if you are the strongest among your ragtag group.
Rain: What does that have to do with anything?
Veritas of the Frost: I do not bother with meaningless battles without any value. In other words, I have no interest in battling anyone who cannot face me on even footing.
Rain: Then what do you expect us to do!?
Veritas of the Frost: What to do at a time like this... I'm sure Sakura knows.
(Sakura moves forward.)
Sakura: Frostlord... You can't mean...
Veritas of the Frost: I will wait for you in the valley that lies ahead. Come find me there. But come ready.
(He teleports away.)
Rain: Sakura? What does he have in mind?
Sakura: That man... loves battle. Both taking part in battle and watching it. He loved battle so much he had his own private arena back in the old days.
Rain: You said he likes watching battle.... You don't mean...?
Sakura: Yes. He wants us to fight. To decide who among us is the strongest. So that he can battle against the one who makes it through till the end...
