FFBE Script part 150: A Joint Struggle
Previously...
LAND OF THE CRYSTALS -- A JOINT STRUGGLE -- SKY CAVE 1
(The party is walking in a cave with a crystal floor. The camera pans up to show Sol and Behemoth some distance before the party.)
Raegen: They're here. Sol and Behemoth.
Nichol: They don't seem to have noticed our presence. We should attack while they're unaware.
Rain: I'll second that.
(Fina collapses, and the party, minus Raegen and Dark Fina, all react with ! over their heads.)
Rain: Fina!? What's wrong!?
Fina: I-I don't... What's wrong with me? At a time like this...
Jake: Bad news, guys! Looks like we've been spotted!
(Indeed, Sol and Behemoth have entered the scene.)
Sol: So you came after us? How ugly it is, the way that beings like you cling to life. I hardly have to do a thing any longer. I can just watch life snuff itself out. It's a beautiful sight.
(There is a glow of white light obliterating the scene. When the light disappears, the party is surrounded by elementals.)
Raegen: What!?
Jake: How did he do that!? He just summoned monsters outta nowhere!?
Sakura: What is this?
Fina: Guh...
Rain: Keep it together, Fina!
Raegen: Don't break formation, ladies and gentlemen! Keep Fina safe as you fight!
Lid: Got it!
(The party readies for battle, but there is another glow -- a column of white light as Waterlord and Lightlord teleport in.)
Nichol: Waterlord! What are you doing here?
Veritas of the Waters: Nichol! This is my penance!
Sakura: Sister... You as well?
Raegen: Lightlord...
Veritas of the Light: The time for talk will come later! First we've got to cut our way out of this mess!
Rain: For once, I agree with you!
LAND OF THE CRYSTALS -- A JOINT STRUGGLE - SKY CAVE 2
(The battle has ended. Raegen and Sakura approach Lightlord, who's standing alone.)
Sakura: Thank you, sister. I am glad that we had your help.
Veritas of the Light: It's... it's not that I was trying to help you, particularly. I don't know what Sol is really after, but having the gate opened is just plain convenient for me. I want to go back to Paladia, no matter what. Even if I'm the only one left, I won't give up on the dream of the Sworn Six... I will get our revenge on Aldore.
Sakura: Sister... Must you still persist in such folly?
(Raegen takes a step closer to Lightlord.)
Raegen: Lightlord. I am sorry for what happened to Darklord.
Veritas of the Light(...): Don't talk to me like you kn ow me. The only Raegen I knew was the Darklord who died. Not you.
Raegen: Right...
(Lightlord turns her back to them.)
Veritas of the Light: I will never walk the same path as you all. No matter what. However.... I will defeat Sol and Behemoth to avenge the Darklord's death. And until I accomplish that, I will fight at your side. But once I've gotten my revenge... I will view every last one of you as my enemy if I see you still trying to close the gate. Don't forget that.
(She walks off. The camera pans to show Nichol has entered the scene behind Raegen and Sakura.)
Nichol: ...
(The scene shifts. Rain is crouched next to Fina, who's on her knees. They're alone.)
Rain: Fina? How are you feeling now?
Fina: Um... A little better, I think.
Rain: Yeah? That's good then... Don't push yourself too hard.
Fina: I know. But this is our final battle. There might be no choice but to push myself too hard...
(She stands.)
Fina: After all, I'm fighting for everyone in this world. I'm fighting for you, Rain.
Rain: Wha...? For me?
(Fina reacts with a !.)
Fina: What!? Did I just say that out loud!?
(She backs away from Rain.)
Fina; It was nothing! Nothing at all. It was just a slip of the tongue, that's all!
(She runs off.)
Rain: That's all? Sheesh, you had my heart pounding and everything!
(Rain follows after her slowly, and Dark Fina enters the scene from the north once he's off screen.)
Dark Fina: Looks like that's the end of that. Too bad for them...
