Last part of act 2, yep.

< Act 2-16 >

Clarissa: ...What should I do...?!

[The lava continues flooding the hallway.]

Clarissa: Please, Your Highness, run away from here! This abbey is a death trap--even up there, you might not be safe!
Blonde-Haired Girl: Just hurry up and grab my hand!

[She leans down and holds her hand out.]

Blonde-Haired Girl: Is it too high? Reach for it!
Clarissa: It's too high! There's no way I can reach it! Your Highness, please, just hurry to safety!
Clarissa: I...I'll think of something! So go!
Blonde-Haired Girl: That's your plan? To "think of something"? Then until you do, I'm not moving an inch!
Clarissa: The whole reason we came here was to rescue you, Your Highness!
Clarissa: Joining up with you has been a goal--a dream--for all of us.
Clarissa: So please, Your Highness, for everyone's sake, leave me and run to safety!
Blonde-Haired Girl: Don't be so selfish!
Blonde-Haired Girl: You think your companions don't want to see you get out of here safely, too?
Clarissa: --?!
Blonde-Haired Girl: I will do everything I can to get you out of here.
Blonde-Haired Girl: And I expect you to do the same!
Blonde-Haired Girl: If we both try our hardest, we can overcome anything that fate has in store for us...
Blonde-Haired Girl: When royalty joins hands with the commonfolk, there is no menace that cannot be overcome!
Clarissa: Your Highness...

[The rumbling gets worse. Clarissa turns her head to see the girl pulling her braid over her shoulder.]

Clarissa: What...what are you doing?
Clarissa: Wait! Your Highness, no!

[She cuts off her braid and hangs it down.]

Blonde-Haired Girl: I said I'd do whatever I could! Now it's your turn to do the same!
Clarissa: Your Highness!

[The rumbling worsens and the lava closes in. The screen turns white and then turns to an illustration of them both up there, safe. Clarissa's kneeling on the ground, still clutching on the braid, while the girl is doubled over with her hands on her knees. Clarissa tries to catch her breath.]

Clarissa: Th-thank you... But you mustn't put yourself at risk like that!
Blonde-Haired Girl: Well, I don't intend to make a habit out of it.
Blonde-Haired Girl: Sometimes it's just necessary, that's all. At times like those, I'll do whatever it takes--so that I don't regret not having done anything later on.
Clarissa: I...I'm sorry about your hair.
Blonde-Haired Girl: Oh, that? Well, yes, I was quite fond of it, but in the heat of the moment, it was all I could come up with.
Clarissa: It was so beautiful...
Blonde-Haired Girl: ...
Clarissa: I'm really sorry.
Blonde-Haired Girl: Don't worry. I'll miss it, but there are things in this world that mean more to me than my hair.
Clarissa: Thank you, Your Highness...
Blonde-Haired Girl: That's enough rest--let's resume our escape. I've been cooped up in here for a very long time--I can't wait to breathe fresh air again!

[They continue to make their way through the dungeon and arrive somewhere where there's no lava. There's light coming from above, and a rope hanging down.]

Clarissa: I can feel a cold breeze coming from here. It looks like a well, but there's no water...
Clarissa: Yeah, this is it! Your Highness, I can see the sky!
Blonde-Haired Girl: It does seem to lead to the surface. Perhaps it's a secret exit that they built to look like a dry well?
The only way to know for sure is to climb up and see...
Clarissa: All right... I'll go first this time.

[The girl brings a hand to her chin.]

Blonde-Haired Girl: That's fine, but may I ask why?

[Clarissa smiles sheepishly.]

Clarissa: Um, Your Highness... You're wearing a skirt.
Blonde-Haired Girl: Well, I don't think you'd be able to see much with my legs wrapped around the rope. But why even worry about that? We're both women.
Clarissa: Oh, I certainly didn't intend to look. It's just, you're royalty, you know? You represent the ideals of the people. It...it just wouldn't be right!
Blonde-Haired Girl: Well, that is one of the duties of royalty, but fearing to look upon me that way... That might be taking the reverence of the people a little too seriously.
Clarissa: Well, I suppose...
Blonde-Haired Girl: You know, I've often wondered...
Blonde-Haired Girl: What a joy it must be to attend a festival, not all dressed up and waving from a parade carriage, but as a common girl, wandering with friends among the vendor stands...
Clarissa: Your Highness...
Blonde-Haired Girl: ...
Clarissa: ...

[Clarissa smiles widely.]

Clarissa: When this is all finished, and peace has returned to the kingdom, let's go to a festival and wander through the stands together!
Blonde-Haired Girl: You'd do that with me?
Clarissa: Of course! Jut think of it--candid apples, corn on the cob...and fried noodles! Just the smell of spices and garlic on the skillet... I can never get enough of it!
Clarissa: And there's all sorts of other stuff, too, like that game where you reach into a bucket and try to catch goldfish.
Blonde-Haired Girl: Goldfish? The people have been reduced to eating goldfish?!
Clarissa: No, no one eats the goldfish... They're actually pretty expensive.
Blonde-Haired Girl: ...
Blonde-Haired Girl: But...if peace does return to Elesius...
Blonde-Haired Girl: I'll have to succeed the throne, and there will be so much to do in the aftermath of this disorder. Going to a festival with you feels like a distant dream.
Clarissa: I can wait. For as long as it takes.
Clarissa: When this mess is settled, we'll have all the time in the world.
Blonde-Haired Girl: I'll do my best not to keep you waiting too long.
Clarissa: I don't think it will take all that long. With an attitude like yours, you'll have Elesius reformed in no time, and then we can go have fun!
Blonde-Haired Girl: You make it sound so easy! Perhaps you're the one who should succeed the throne?
Clarissa: Me? Become royalty?!

[She smiles.]

Blonde-Haired Girl: ...I'm kidding, of course.
Clarissa: That's a relief. I've had my fill of being royalty!
Blonde-Haired Girl: Hee hee...
Clarissa: Hah hah hah hah!

[Clarissa makes it outside and looks around.]

-Sundome Abbey Ruins-

Blonde-Haired Girl: Can you see anything?
Clarissa: Yes... It looks like this path leads back into the abbey grounds.
Clarissa: We need to find the others and tell them we're all right...
Edna: Well, look what just squirmed out of the ground! The two slippery serpents that have been destroying the traditions of Elesius, and making my life hell.
Blonde-Haired Girl: That voice... Edna?!
Clarissa: Where is she?!

[Edna stands in front of a group of Drifters.]

Edna: This is the former Sundome Abbey--a perfect place for cleansing the world of vermin! Better say your prayers quickly!
Clarissa: They've been waiting for us!

[A barrage of arrows is shot in their direction.]

Clarissa: --!

[The arrows hit the ground just between Clarissa and the girl and separates them.]

Edna: Not so fast, you!
Edna: Deal with the imposter later! Get the Princess first--make sure she's dead, like she's supposed to be!
Edna: She's the one in the dress! Focus your spells on her! Don't leave even a shred of cloth!
Blonde-Haired Girl: --?!
Clarissa: That's right...!
Clariss: Your Highness! Catch!

[Clarissa throws the ARM and Alexia catches it.]

Edna: It's time for you to die already, Alexiaaaaaa!!!!

[A bright flash of light blinds everyone. As the light fades, the girl stands with hair cropped in a bob, grinning; her dress has been replaced by a shorter dress and armor. She swings a large sword and the snow at her feet is blown away in a cloud.]

Alexia: Wrapped in steel, sword in hand, I am prepared for battle. Ready yourselves, you who would sell your country for coin!
Alexia: A savage warhorse rages within, yearning to reclaim all that you have stolen! Once I set it free, it will not be easily subdued!
Edna: Arrrrrrrrgh! You! YOUUUU!!!

[Clarissa rejoins Alexia.]

Clarissa: Your Highness?!
Alexia: The first performance of the evening shall be a duet between you and I, Clarissa. Are you ready to take the stage and put on a show?
Clarissa: Of...of course!
Edna: Utter nonsense! Hurry up and take these two fools down!
Edna: The only star of this show is ME!!!

=D.E.R.=

Clarissa: ...
Clarissa: ...
Clarissa: ...

Alexia: I'm sick of waiting around... I'll start things myself!

[The battle ends when all enemies have been defeated. After the fight, another number of Drifters pop up in front of them.]

Clarissa: Look at all the Drifters she's hired...
Alexia: Edna must be serious this time.
Felius: Clarissa!

[Over on the corner of the map, the rest of the party arrives.]

Felius: We'll be right there!
Labyrinthia: That battle outfit...
Levin: Princess Alexia?! You...you're really alive!
Ragnar: Is she the real princess, then? I'd love to sit down and chat with her...but first, we've got this little score to settle.

=D.E.R.=

Labyrinthia: Let's take a look at the Tactical Map we'll be fighting on.
Labyrinthia: We'll be starting here...
Labyrinthia: And the enemy line looks like this.
Labyrinthia: Clarissa and Alexia are surrounded by a large army of soldiers. First and foremost, we have to hurry over to their side.
Labyrinthia: There are two possible routes I can think of... We'll need to figure out which one will get us there more quickly.
Labyrinthia: Give it some thought as you work out which classes and skills you'd like on the field.
Labyrinthia: Until our reinforcements arrive, the best Clarissa and Alexia can hope for is not getting themselves killed.
Change their classes to give them high HP, high DEF, and enough healing ability to survive!

Clarissa: Let's go, everyone!

[When most of the enemies have been defeated...]

-Reinforcements appeared!-

[The battle ends when all enemies have been defeated.]

Levin: Dammit! That froggy old hag slipped away in the chaos.
Ragnar: Well, I suppose we'll have to let her go. It seems we have other matters to deal with at the moment.
Felius: Clarissa...
Clarissa: Sorry... I didn't mean to worry you. But everything worked out great, see?
Labyrinthia: Your Highness! I'm so relieved to see you safe!
Alexia: Thank you for all that you've done. You have assumed the burden of defending Elesius when I could not.
Alexia: Forgive me.
Labyrinthia: I think it's Clarissa you should be thanking most.
Clarissa: Me? I didn't do anything...
Clarissa: I would never have made it here without the support of everyone who's helped me along the way.
Clarissa: Felius, Labyrinthia, Levin, Ragnar... And now you, Your Highness...
Alexia: Is that the core of "Chevalet Blanc"?
Clarissa: That's right, Your Highness.

[Alexia smiles.]

Alexia: Then surely this happy reunion should be share by more than just us?
Labyrinthia: Yeah, we should get everyone together.
Clarissa: Hey, Levin! Ragnar! Where are you guys?
Levin: ...
Ragnar: Why don't you run to them? As a young man, perhaps you've become lost amidst the conflicting desires of your heart?

[Levin frowns and blushes.]

Levin: What the hell are you talking about? It's not like that at all! Seriously...
Ragnar: If you can't make up your mind, you could always just not choose, you know. Nobody's forcing you.
Levin: What's that supposed to mean?

[Ragnar winks.]

Ragnar: Hey, the only thing better than one beauty at your side is two. Even if those loves are unrequited...
Levin: But that...that would be cheating!
Ragnar: Says who? Whether or not it's cheating depends entirely on how you approach things.
Levin: Huh? Really?
Ragnar: Hmm... In the end, who really knows?
Levin: Now you're just making fun of me!
Ragnar: Not at all! I'm simply trying to teach you how to be a better man!

[Ragnar runs past him.]

Levin: A better man?! You're teaching me how to be a jerk!

[Levin runs after him. The screen fades to black and the player is prompted to save.]
