FFBE Script part 133: A Serious Fight
Previously...
DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- A SERIOUS FIGHT -- RUGGLES UNDERGROUND PASS 1
(Lid, Jake, and Sakura are walking in an underground pass. They come to a stop next to a ladder leading down.)
Jake: So our battle will take place in an underground tunnel, huh?
Sakura: There was once a very skillful dwarf, known by the name Ruggles. He is the one who dug out this tunnel.
Lid: I've heard that name before. He's a legend even among the dwarves. And to think that I'm getting to see a tunnel made by THE Ruggles...
Jake: My lovely Lid. I hate to interrupt you during your special moment, but I'd rather just get this over with.
Lid: Oh? I didn't think you'd be the on in a rush. You want to get beat up by me that bad?
Jake(...): That's right, I do. Don't hold back. Just come at me.
(Jake and Sakura walk off screen as Lid speaks.)
Lid: huh? You don't seem quite as obnoxious as usual. What's the matter with Jake?
(She gets a (...) over her head.)
Lid: ...Well. Not that it matters. We've just got to do this, and do it seriously, or we can't save the people of that village, right?
(Lid follows them off screen.)
DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- A SERIOUS FIGHT -- RUGGLES UNDERGROUND PASS 2
(Lid and Jake walk onto a field of crystal, like the others. They turn to face one another.)
Jake: ...So then. Shall we get started?
Lid: Wow, would you look at you? That's the first time I've ever seen you look so serious.
Jake: ...
Lid: Hmph. You really are being weird today. Normally I'd expect you to say something like... "I'm always serious... when it comes to girls." Or some stupid thing like that.
Jake(...): Ha ha... You're probably right.
Lid: So what is it? Why are you acting so different now?
(Jake bows his head.)
Jake: I guess... Maybe it's just because... I know I have to win this battle.
(Battle begins! You face Lid with two mechabos.)
Lid: This is my true power! Go, Mechabo, go!
(The mechabo warks.)
Lid: How was that? Bet you won't forget that in a hurry!
Jake: Now's not the time, Lid. We have a job to do. It's not playtime.
Lid: H-hey now! Who said I was playing! Jeez, I don't get no respect!
(Battle begins in earnest now. You defeat Lid's party. There is no dialogue afterward.)
DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- A SERIOUS FIGHT -- RUGGLES UNDERGROUND PASS 3
Lid: i lost... Even with Mechabo at full power....
Jake: My lovely Lid... I'm sorry. I just had to win this one.
Lid: Why? What's that supposed to mean?
Jake(...): I really owe you all for what you did in Zoldaad. That's why... I really want to do whatever i can. Like if I see two of my friends are getting all bothered over something stupid, then I might want to knock some sense into them.
Lid: Wh-what's that supposed to mean? I don't get it at all.
(Jake walks to the right. He is joined by Lasswell, Rain, and Dark Fina. Frostlord stands before them.)
Veritas of the Frost: We are down to four contenders now, are we?
(Frostlord glows, and the four are enveloped in light: Jake and Lasswell in blue, and Rain and Dark Fina in red.)
Dark Fina: I have to battle Rain, huh? Though I've gotta say, I wish I was battling last instead. The final showdown is where the real drama is.
Rain: I've got no complaints. Let's do this.
Lasswell: And I get Jake, do I?
Jake: Well., don't I feel lucky. Interesting pairs we've ended up with.
(The scene shifts. Jake approaches Lasswell near a run-down house.)
Jake: Right about now, Rain must be battling with the naughty Fina...
Lasswell: (...)
Jake: Which one of them would you rather have win?
Lasswell: It doesn't matter.
Jake: That's a bit surprising, coming from you. Didn't you always want a chance to fight Rain? Even if it because of Frostlord's twisted ideas, you've got to admit that this is a pretty rare chance that's landed in your lap.
Lasswell: Rain said something similar himself.
Jake: Isn't that good then? Sounds like Rain is looking forward to the chance to battle you, too. So don't let him down. Give him what he wants. Isn't that what you've always wanted, too? Lasswell. Are you afraid of beating Rain?
Lasswell(!): How dare you! I'd like to see you say that again!
Jake: Sheesh.... Looks like I hit that nail right on the head. You really are making this difficult, aren't you?
Lasswell: What do you know about it!? You don't know how I feel!
Jake: Good. Get angry. Then come at me with all that anger!
Lasswell: Jake....
Jake: Oh? You're back?
(Jake and Lasswell turn as Rain and Dark Fina enter.)
Jake: That was pretty quick. So who won?
Dark Fina: Rain did. He really is strong. As I'd expect.
Rain: What are you talking about> I barely won by the hair of my teeth. That battle could've gone either way.
Jake: So that means that whichever one of us wins this fight will have to battle Rain.
Dark Fina: That's what it means.
Rain: Lasswell. I'm waiting. You'd better win your way through this.
Lasswell: ....Of course.
(Lasswell walks off.)
Dark Fina: What's the matter with Lasswell? He seems a bit off.
Rain: I know. He's been like that this whole time.
Jake(...): Don't you worry about Lasswell. I've got him. You just leave this all up to me.
(Jake leaves.)
Dark Fina: What is that supposed to mean?
Rain: ...
