FFBE Script part 142: The Waterlord's Regret
Previously...
KINGDOM OF PHARM -- THE WATERLORD'S REGRET -- RHAO HILLS 1
Nichol: (I am also responsible for Elle's death.) (Wait for me, Elle. With these hands, I will atone for your death.) (I will put an end to the Waterlord for you.)
(Wave 1 of battle against fodder commences, and leads to wave 2.)
Jake: So many aannoying issues to deal with being with you lot.
Lid: You've probably right... My older brother is so annoying it's almost inhuman.
Jake: Surely that's due to hard work. I like such annoying people like that.
Lid: Huh? I-I see.
Jake: Hmm? Lid, why's your face turning red?
Lid: I-it's nothing, really!
(Wave 2 commences. There is no dialogue afterward.)
KINGDOM OF PHARM -- THE WATERLORD'S REGRET -- RHAO HILLS 2
(Nichol runs ahead of the party, to where there are people laying face-down on the ground.)
Nichol: ...What is this?
(The rest of the party has caught up with him.)
Investigator: You're... here to... help? Is Goken... all right? He... made it back?
(Nichol moves to one of the injured party and crouches by him.)
Nichol: What on earth happened here?
Investigator: A monster appeared... A monster in blue armor.... Thought we were doomed... But then she... doubled over as if in pain...
Nichol: What?
(The camera pans up to show Waterlord. The party approaches her, Nichol in the lead.)
Nichol: It's her....
Veritas of the Waters: Ugh.... ng... I can't... take anymore.... Enough....
Nichol: ...What was that?
Veritas of the Waters: I do not wish to fight.... I can't take anymore... I don't want to kill anymore...
Nichol: Do yoy mean to beg for your life? If you're planning to make excuses, you can make them in hell.
(Nichol readies his spell book. Rain moves to his side.)
Rain: Nichol, stop this! She's in no shape to fight! Where's the honor in this?
Nichol: Honor? Where was the honor in what she did to Elle!?
Rain: What the Waterlord did... is not something that can be forgiven. But even so, this kind of revenge... What is killing her going to do? I don't think it will make you feel any better.
Nichol(...): Getting revenge provides only momentary satisfaction... And afterward, I would surely regret it.
Rain: If you already understand that, then why...?
Nichol: I don't care. Even if I do regret it.
(Nichol turns away from Rain to face Waterlord again.)
Nichol: The Waterlord killed Elle. He is dead while she yet lives. And that is something that I cannot forgive.
Veritas of the Waters: Killed who? I did what?
Nichol: Don't you dare try that again...
(Flamelord enters from the east.)
Veritas of the Flame: Wait!
(The party gets ! over their heads.)
Lasswell: Veritas of the Flame!?
(Flamelord moves to Waterlord's side. Nichol and Rain back up to let him pass.)
Veritas of the Flame: Wait, please. She really doesn't remember.
Nichol: What are you talking about?
Veritas of the Flame: She doesn't remember what she's done when she's in another personality. So please...
Veritas of the Waters: Flamelord! Don't tell them that!
Veritas of the Flame: Come on then, Waterlord. We need to get you out of here. Come with me!
(They cast spells and teleport away. Nichol moves to where they were standing.)
Nichol: Stop! You think I will just let you retreat!?
(He runs off west.)
Fina: Wait! Nichol!
Rain: We've got to go after them, too!
(The party hurries after Nichol.)
