WAXF Script
< Act 3-5 >
[Charlton observes Katrina as she undergoes the rite, looking rather displeased.]
Charlton: (...The Rite of Divine Coalescence is progressing... Once we have an heir to the throne, our plan to take over Elesius could proceed like clockwork...)
Charlton: (...)
Charlton: (But...)
Charlton: (Something doesn't feel quite right...like a gear turning with a missing tooth. Is something happening beyond my control...?)
Charlton: (What are you thinking, Edna? I know how casually you'll lie to protect yourself... Is it you that has my intuition buzzing?)
Charlton: (What are you hiding...? What are you planning...?)
[Rupert runs in.]
Rupert: --Boss!
Charlton: ...
Rupert: Sorry, boss, I...I screwed up! I figured she'd be a sittin' duck if I just got the jump on her, but...but she--
Charlton: Rebel movements rarely survive the death of their leader. Taking her out was all you needed to do, Rupert. You couldn't even accomplish that much?
Rupert: Y-yeah, but you gotta understand...!
Charlton: Enough. I will not allow you to betray my expectations again.
Rupert: Urgh...
Edna: I thought keeping order was supposed to be your job! What the hell are you doing?!
Charlton: He will fulfill his duty, as you will yours.
Charlton: I don't want this to end with another failure, like the rite a year ago. Concentrate on your own business.
Edna: I...I know that! You'll see! This time the Rite of Divine Coalescence will succeed!
Edna: It's different this time... I have so much more at stake in its success... This time it's about what comes next for me!
Charlton: ...
[They turn when they hear footsteps. Edna brings her hands to her face in horror.]
Charlton: So Chevalet Blanc has arrived...
[An illustration shows the party facing the three, who are standing in front of the altar where Katrina is.]
Clarissa: --Katrina?! Hold on! We're coming for you!
Charlton: Admirable as ever, Imposter Princess. Though, surely we can dispense with that charade now.
Clarissa: ...
Labyrinthia: We've finally caught you. No longer will the Council rule Elesius as they please!
Charlton: You've caught us? Heh heh heh. That's absurd... I led you straight here!
Charlton: Did you really believe I didn't expect you to come? That I wouldn't be ready for this?
Charlton: Rupert!
Rupert: I'm on it!
[Rupert flicks on a switch and the screen stretches out.]
Felius: Arrgh! That...that device again...
Charlton: That's right. It's one of the excavated relic weapons we were testing out at the capital.
Charlton: A fitting tribute to Weisheit, don't you think?
Ragnar: Ugh, this is unbearable...
Rupert: Bwah hah hah hah hah hah!
Where're your smart mouths now, huh? Better sass it up while you still can--at the rate this thing's powerin' up, you ain't got long!
Labyrinthia: Aaahhhh...urrrghhh...
Charlton: I'm almost ashamed to call it a trap at all, and yet you blundered right into it. Don't you think you were being a little too careless, Labyrinthia?
Labyrinthia: Thank you...for...believing in me...
Labyrinthia: It's...what drives me...to live up to...your expectations...
Charlton: What?
Labyrinthia: Have you...forgotten already? I'm more capable...than you give me credit for!
Edna: --?!
Edna: Ch-Charlton! There's another...!
Edna: There...there's more than five of them now!
[A beam of light flashes across the screen. An illustration shows Chevalet Blanc kneeling on the ground as someone from the entrance fires at the machine in Rupert's hand and destroys it.]
Rupert: Wha--? Aaaah! What the hell...?!
[Enter Clarissa with Strahl Gewehr pointed at them.]
Clarissa: That's enough!
[She runs up to the group, in front of the 'other' Clarissa.]
Charlton: A trap?!
Charlton: --?! Why...why are there two of them?!
[Clarissa fires at them, and Charlton blocks the ray of light with his hand.]
Charlton: Eeeaaarrgghhhh!!!
Charlton: That light... Its power... It's the same one she used at the capital!
Charlton: That means...this princess is...
[The attack stops and Charlton is still holding his hand up in a clenched fist.]
Edna: Oh no, no no no no no...!
Charlton: They're identical! Their deception was...a deception?!
Clarissa?: You want to succeed my father and ruled Elesius, Charlton?
Clarissa?: Then quit scheming from the shadows and make your intentions known! That is how a worthy king would conduct himself!
Charlton: The real princess...? Princess Royal...Alexia Lynn Elesius?!
[An illustration then shows Alexia and Clarissa throwing off their disguises, weapons drawn.]
Edna: Eeeeyyaaaahhhh!!!
Rupert: They played us like chumps...
Labyrinthia: Once you figured out that our princess was an imposter, how could we pass up the chance to make an imposter of our imposter?
Charlton: Grrr...
Labyrinthia: As you put it, it was so obvious that I'm almost ashamed to call it a trap at all.
Labyrinthia: But since you did fall for it, I have to ask... Don't you think you were being a little too careless?
Charlton: Arggghh! You little...!
[Charlton turns to Edna and yells.]
Charlton: Weren't you supposed to have taken care of this?! Edna, you swore to me that you killed her yourself!!
Edna: Nooooo! No! This can't be...
Charlton: You already knew, didn't you? Now I see... You've been hiding this!
Charlton: You were saving Alexia to use as leverage against me... You've been holding her as your trump card all along!
Edna: I'm sorry! Forgive me, Charlton! It was...it was for the good of the Council!
Charlton: You still dare to speak?!
Edna: I, urgh, aaaahhh...!
Rupert: Forget her, boss--we need to do somethin' about them!
Charlton: Then do it, Rupert! Show me what you're capable of! Show me that you can crush them with might alone!
Rupert: Why does everything have to end up going so wrong?! I guess there's nothing left to do but bury 'em under an all-out Martial Guard assault!
=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: With the gravitational device turned off, the enemy has deployed a party of tough, heavy fighters.
Labyrinthia: If we pull the switch again, we'll have a distinct advantage in this battle. Let's give it a shot.
Labyrinthia: The only problem is the distance between us and the switch. Be careful not to get defeated before you even make it to the device.
Labyrinthia: The Council undoubtedly sees this as a must-win battle... There's a very good possibility they have backup units ready to deploy at a later time.
No matter what they throw at us, once you get a bead on their abilities, I'm sure a strategy will become apparent soon enough!
[Once five enemies have been defeated...]
-Reinforcements appeared!-
[The battle ends when all enemies have been defeated.]
Rupert: Dammit! This wasn't supposed to be this difficult!
Alexia: Hiyaah!
[Alexia charges at him. A flurry of slashes follow, and the two back up from each other. Rupert has his hand on his sword.]
Rupert: Is that all you got, Princess? Last time i thought I was goin' up against the Arwin girl, so I didn't bother breakin' a sweat.
Rupert: But now I'm givin' it my all, and you're all out of surprises. You ain't got nothin' against me!
Alexia: --!
Rupert: What's the matter? Thought a skilled swordsman only swings once? You can throw that fencing-school crap around all you want--you're only makin' a fool outta yourself!
Alexia: You work a little too hard to maintain your infamy, Rupert Dandridge! Would a warrior with true skill need to hide behind such a facade?!
Edna: Not like this... I can't let it end like this!
Edna: This country is supposed to be mine! I'm not letting anyone take it from me!
[Edna turns and walks away. Charlton yells after her.]
Charlton: Hold it right there, Edna! How are you planning to betray me this time?!
[A cut-in shows Edna touching a dais with strange symbols on it; the center glows purple.]
Edna: I won't let anyone take it from me... Not the royal family! Not Charlton! The lead of this performance is supposed to be me!
Edna: Argh! This is taking too long! I can't waste any more time on the preparation phases... I'm skipping straight to the end!
[The screen flashes white, and the blue wind that enveloped Katrina turns into yellow electricity. Her eyes bolt open as she screams in pain.]
Katrina: Kyaaaaaaahhhhh!!!
Clarissa: Princess Katrina!
Alexia: Katrina!
Charlton: Edna! What are you...?!
Edna: Elesius is a nation that reveres its Guardians. If I just complete the Rite of Divine Coalescence, we'll have a true princess medium...
Edna: And when we have a princess medium to speak for the Guardians, the people will look to the Abbey! My power will grow! There's still a chance for me...!
Edna: We don,t need to go through every stupid step of the rite! If you ahev the talent, Katrina, you can merge with a Guardian directly!
Edna: Aaaah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah!
Edna: Hurry up and bring me a Guardian! My beautiful puppet princess!
[The screen shakes.]
Katrina: Yeeeearrghhhh!!!
[The screen flashes white, then the colors invert briefly.]
Clarissa: What...? This energy...
[A bolt of electricity heads in Clarissa's direction from above. Felius moves in in front of her and shields her, blocking it with his back as Clarissa falls down on her behind and stares up at him. She stands up as the attack ends.]
Clarissa: Th-thank you, Felius!
Felius: It was nothing. But...what's going on?
Clarissa: I don't know! I don't know, but I...
Clarissa: This energy... I know this from somewhere... From long ago....
Felius: What...?
[Katrina floats above the altar, head hung.]
Levin: What...what just happened?
Ragnar: Did the rite finally finish? Or could it be...
[The screen zooms in on Katrina. A close-up shows her face; her head is still hung and her bangs cover her eyes. A faint red energy comes out of her body.]
Rupert: What the...? Somethin's comin' offa that girl...!
Alexia: Katrina...? Katrina! Say something, Katrina!
[Katrina suddenly looks up with large red eyes, mouth wide open as an unknown voice comes out of her and screams. Her face is twisted as the screen shakes. Tactical Map style, Katrina floats above the floor and unknown monsters have appeared between her and the party. Clarissa is on her knees.]
Clarissa: I can feel it echoing in my heart... It's like some kind of enormous beast. As if some uncontrollable torrent of pure power has taken the form of a monster.
Felius: Can you stand, Clarissa?
Clarissa: Yeah...
Labyrinthia: The uncontrollable power of the Guardians--that's what's raging inside Princess Katrina's body...
=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: Our job here is to rescue Princess Katrina from herself. She's fallen into an unconscious rage...
Labyrinthia: Try to get her MP down to 0--that's the only way to suppress the chaotic gales of magic coming out of her. She ought to be powerless after that...
Labyrinthia: Please be careful, though. No matter what you do, do not injure Princess Katrina!
Labyrinthia: There's another issue at hand, too: The mysterious monsters taht suddenly appeared when Princess Katrina was enveloped by that energy.
If there's no effective way to deal with them, then there's only one option: We must pool our strength, and prepare for the onslaught!
Katrina: It's...so dark... What is this...?
[The battle ends when Katrina's MP has been reduced to zero. Alexia holds onto Katrina, helping her sit up. Clarissa follows her and kneels behind her with a worried expression on her face.]
Alexia: Katrina! Katrina...? Katrina!!
Clarissa: Princess Katrina!
Katrina: A...Alexia? You finally came back... I'm so glad...
Katrina: ...
Katrina: Oh... I...I met a Guardian... It was black, with giant wings...
Alexia: Yes, of course... I want to hear all about it later... So come with us...
Katrina: Go...with you? We've been apart...for so long...
Alexia: That's right... But now no one will ever be able to separate us again.
Clarissa: --?! What out, Alexia! It's Edna! Edna's still--
[Edna is still at the control dais.]
Edna: Damn right! This isn't over yet!
Edna: The final phase of the Rite of Divine Coalescence! Taste it, my puppet princess! Take it all!
[Katrina is suspended in the air and electrocuted again.]
Katrina: Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!
Alexia: Katrina!
Clarissa: Princess Katrina!
[A ball of red energy starts swelling from Katrina's body. The entire place turns red and a cut-in shows the ball of red light spreading everywhere as the screen shakes.]
Labyrinthia: That light that's spreading out from the princess... What is that?!
Levin: What should we do? Tell me what to do!!
[Clarissa looks down at Strahl Gewehr, which glows blue.]
Clarissa: Everyone, over here!
Clarissa: Strahl Gewehr will protect us!
Ragnar: --What are you talking about?!
Clarissa: Just trust me!
[The screen flashes white. A dome of light blue energy forms around the party and protects them from the red, black and green light energy coming from Katrina. The screen shakes more until it turns white again; Katrina finally collapses to the floor, unconscious.]
Charlton: ...
Charlton: The rebels... They just vanished...? Did they disintegrate in that stream of light?
Rupert: What the hell... No...I don't even wanna know.
Rupert: So that's the power of the Guardians...
[Edna smirks.]
Edna: Hah hah... Hah hah hah hah hah! I did it! I finally did it! The Rite of Divine Coalescence has succeeded!
Edna: No princess medium who has ever lived has exhibited this much power...!
Edna: Heh heh heh... Hah hah hah hah hah! And I made it happen!
[Edna throws her head back and laughs uncontrollably.]
Edna: Ah hah hah hah hah! Ah hah... Ah hah hah!
[The screen fades to black and the player is prompted to save.]
[Charlton observes Katrina as she undergoes the rite, looking rather displeased.]
Charlton: (...The Rite of Divine Coalescence is progressing... Once we have an heir to the throne, our plan to take over Elesius could proceed like clockwork...)
