FFBE Script part 147: To the Crystal Tower
Previously...
Chapter VII, Part II:
Land of the Crystals
LAND OF THE CRYSTALS -- TO THE CRYSTAL TOWER -- LAND OF THE CRYSTALS
(The scene opens on a ship at sea, a sailor standing near its prow. He reacts with a ! as a rumbling sound occurs and the scene shakes. He scurries away from the prow, passing other passengers who are also reacting with ! one by one.
The camera then shows the open sea, and a crystal tower erupts from the sea floor, thrusting into the sky.
The scene shifts to Sol and Behemoth, outside on the ground near some ruins.)
Sol: The destruction of the seals and the opening of the gate have had a great effect on the land of the crystals. Everything has gone according to plan. Let's go, Behemoth. Let us bestow the honor of death upon the ugly life of this world.
(The scene shifts to the party, laying prone on the ground amidst the ruins. Only Raegen is on his knees.)
Rain: Ngh...
(Rain stirs and gets up on his knees.)
Rain: Everybody...okay?
(One by one, the rest of the party revives.)
Jake: I-I think so, yeah...
(Nichol gets a !, followed by the others as he speaks.)
Nichol: Wha...what is that?
Lid: Seriously, what is that? It's like the crystal grew into an entire tower...
Sakura: It may be an effect of the gate's pull on this world.
Lid: Wait. Wait. Does that mean... the world is still going to get pulled apart?
Sakura: Yes... it is only a question of time.
Lid: B-but we...
Raegen: No. This could be our chance. We have to get as close as we can to the gate, after all, to try to close it.
Nichol: I see. So we climb that crystal and try to reach the gate?
(Lasswell gets a (...) over his head as he ponders this.)
Lasswell: But, Sir Raegen... Do you know a way to close the gate?
Raegen: It would take a long time to explain and that's time we don't have right now. But trust me. I know what we have to do.
Lasswell: Yes, sir...
Raegen: No need to worry. You'll understand once you're standing in front of that gate.
Rain: Sorry, Lasswell. but you know he's always been like this. You can;t expect any straight answer from my old man.
Passwell: That's true enough.
Raegen: Hahaha! It seems I can't pull anything over the two of you any longer.
(Dark Fina, alarmed, reacts with a ! as she senses something.)
Dark Fina: Th-this is...
Fina: What's wrong?
Dark Fina: I sensed Sol and Behemoth... I'd say they're already climbing that crystal tower.
Jake: They're climbing it? What for?
Dark Fina: I don't know... I may have known them once, but... they're different people after being in the crystal for so long. They hardly resemble the wise sages they were back then.
Lid(...): No way! Do you think maybe they're trying to close the gate, too!?
Jake: No...my lovely Lid. Unfortunately, I don't think reality will be that convenient.
(Lid sweats.)
Lid: I-I know that! I was just thinking it might be nice if it were true!
Dark Fina: That's fine. No one knows what's really going to happen now. Let's go defeat Sol and Behemoth. Then we close the gate once and for all. That's all we have to do.
Jake: Agreed. Let's keep it simple and get this over with.
(The party slowly walks off, leaving Sakura, Raegen and Rain behind.)
Rain: What's wrong? Dad?
Raegen: No.... It's just that I don't see Lightlord and Darklord anywhere....
Sakura: My sister is alive. I can feel her still. But... Darklord...
Raegen: Even he couldn't withstand Sol's attack. I see...
Rain(...): I...I really thought Darklord was you for a long time. He's...
Raegen: It's been a tough journey. Doubtless everyone has a lot to sort out after all that's happened. But I'm afraid... that talking about it will have to wait until after we've saved this world.
Rain: Yeah... I know.
(They walk off. The scene shifts again, to Lightlord, alone.)
Veritas of the Light: My Raegen... ...Now I really have lost everything. What... am I supposed to live for now?
???: You know what. There is still something we have to live for.
Veritas of the Light: Th-that voice....
(She stands and looks north, but the scene ends.)
