FFBE Script part 135: Reunion
Previously...
DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- REUNION -- GRONOA SHRINE DEPTHS 1
Rain: Everyone, follow me.
Lasswell: The Frostlord's headed for the crystal. We have to stop him at all costs!
Jake: What was that!?
Lid: Come on, lickety-split! If the crystal is broken, it's all over!
(Wave 1 of battle commences and leads to wave 2.)
Jake: Yes, yes. Lickety-split indeed. Who won the fight between Rain and Lasswell?
Lasswell: Rain come out victorious. I still have a lot of training to do.
Fina: Lasswell, how happily you speak even in spite of losing.
Lasswell: R-really?
(Wave 2 commences, and leads to wave 3.)
Lasswell: Jake, I am sorry. I'm aware I troubled you greatly.
Jake: It's okay. I just went with my gut on that one.
Lasswell: I am grateful for your kind words.
Jake: C-come now. Don't get all meek like that; it makes me feel weird.
(Wave 3 commences. There is no further dialogue.)
DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- REUNION -- GRONOA SHRINE DEPTHS 2
(Frostlord stands in front of the crystal. The party hurries up behind him.)
Veritas of Frost: You've taken your time, haven't you?
(Rain steps forward.)
Rain: Frostlord! Get away from the crystal!
(Rain draws his weapon. Frostlord still has his back to the party as he speaks.)
Veritas of Frost: Do you all know what this is?
Rain: We do. We've journeyed all this time to protect the crystals.
Veritas of Frost: ...I see.
(Frostlord casts a spell, sending a ball of darkness into the crystal. The party all get ! over their heads.)
Rain: Frostlord! What have you done to the crystal!?
Veritas of Frost: I will only tell you one thing, and that is how much time you have left: five minutes.
Lid: How much time we...? Did you set a bomb on the crystal!?
Veritas of Frost: Did I? If you want to know, perhaps you'd better beat me.
(He turns and steps towards the party.)
Veritas of Frost: Rain. Thank you for giving me the chance to see how you fought. You may have defeated the others to face me, but now I know that you are not powerful enough to defeat me in single combat.
Lasswell: What did you say?
Rain: So what?
Veritas of Frost: Why don't all of you come at me at once? That should do nicely.
Lid: What? Are you making fun of us!?
Nichol: No. But if he can say that even after seeing Rain and Lasswell fight, then he must have quite a bit of confidence in his own strength.
Sakiura: ........
Rain: Hmph. I hope you don't end up regretting this.
Veritas of Frost: Hah. I'd like to see you try to make me.
(Battle begins!)
Jake: Tch, five minutes isn't much, but I can handle it!
Rain: Yeah. That's right.
Veritas of Frost: What an expression. Exactly what i was hoping for.
(Battle begins in earnest now. You defeat Frostlord. There is no dialogue afterward.)
DARK CONTINENT GRONOA -- REUNION -- GRONOA SHRINE DEPTHS 3
(Frostlord is on a knee in front of the party.)
Fina: We did it!
Lid: But now we're almost out of time!
Jake: No, we';re already out of time! It's already been over five minutes! But nothing seems to have happened to the crystal...
Nichol: What... What is the meaning of this?
Veritas of Frost: Of course nothing has happened to the crystal. It was simply a lie to help you draw out your full power. I was able to enjoy the results well enough. You all are strong. I am satisfied.
Sakura: Frostlord....
(Sakura gets a !)
Sakura: What's this? This overwhelming power...
(She turns. One by one the Sworn Six teleport in. They're glowing.)
Rain: Veritas!
Lid: What!? All six of them!?
Veritas of the Dark: Rain. Lasswell. We have come to battle you for the last crystal.
(Flamelord gets a !)
Veritas of the Flame: Hey! Ain't that Frostlord right there!?
Veritas of the Heavens: What!? Did you say Frostlord!?
Veritas of the Flame: You were alive!? Color me surprised!
Nichol: Rain, did you notice? The Veritas seem to have changed their armor.
Rain: Yeah. Looks like they've had a little upgrade.
Veritas of the Dark: So now we have all Sworn Eight of Paladia together in one place.
Veritas of the Flame; First time in 700 years. How moving.
Lid: Wait a sec. Are we really sure about this? There's no way we can beat seven Veritas at once!
Sakura: ..That's true. I don't feel very good about our odds, to be honest. But that doesn't mean we can give up. I really hate this stifling time can, but... Hah! I guess needs must!
(Sakura casts a spell, glows brightly, and dons her armor.)
Lid: Boltlord's armor!
Sakura: Come, my friends! The time is now! We are going to do what we must to protect this world, even if it kills us!
Rain: Damn right!
Veritas of the Earth: Frostlord. Come join us. There will be time for explanations later, but you can trust that these people are our enemies.
(The scene pans up to Frostlord, still on one knee in front of the crystal.)
Veritas of Frost: I see.
(He stands, glows, and teleports himself in between the two parties. He turns his back on the Veritas and walks towards Rain's party. Flamelord get a !)
Veritas of the Flame: Hey! Frostlord! Where are you going!?
Veritas of the Frost: .......
(Frostlord takes his palce at the head of Rain's party.)
Veritas of Flame: The hell, Frostlord!?
Vertias of the Dark: Frostlord. What is the meaning of this? You belong on our side.
Veritas of the Frost: No, I belong right where I am.
(Frostlord removes his helm. Everyone gets a ! over their heads.)
Rain: D-dad!?
Raegen: It's been a long time. Rain. Lasswell.
Veritas of the Light: Raegen... Why...?
Veritas of the Flame: Oh, come on! Seriously, what the hell! Who the hell is our Darklord then!?
(The other Veritas have turned to look at Darklord.)
Veritas of the Dark: ........
Rain: That's all you've got to say for yourself!? Where the hell have been till now!?
Raegen: Searching for Frostlord's armor. I finally found it here, where the people had been worshiping it as a sacred object.
Veritas of the Light: Why... Would you want Frostlord's armor?
Raegen: Isn't it obvious? It would be a bit difficult to stop your plot for revenge in just my own fragile skin.
(Raegen turns to Rain's party.)
Raegen: Oh yeah. And I had to make sure that you all would be strong enough to fight alongside me, too.
Lasswell: Sir Raegen... You cannot mean that you forced us to fight amongst ourselves for our own growth?
Raegen: I think those little details can wait. Till after we've beaten these guys, that is.
(Raegen puts Frostlord's helmet back on.)
Raegen: Now let's do this! It all ends here!
