< Act 3-10 >
[The scene opens to Weisheit in his lab, holding a hand to his face in a cryptic manner.]
Weisheit: I've got you now, Felius... Heh heh heh... Hah hah hah hah hah! I can feel you drawing closer and closer!
Weisheit: But the tale I know so well has come to its end. Now it is time to embark upon a new story, to be written in the years to come.
Let us begin our new story, Felius!
Weisheit: A story of revenge upon the man who defied me! A story of my revenge upon the world that defied me!
Weisheit: And then, when my revenge is complete, I shall succeed the throne of Belia Lugos!
[He holds his hand to his head, laughing manically.]
Weisheit: Ah hah hah hah hah! Ah hah hah hah hah hah...Aah hah hah hah hah hah hah!
[The screen then shows the Lombardia as a yellow light shoots out from under it.]
Lombardia Computer: Escape pod launched.
[Inside, both Felius and Kressen are staring each other down, wincing.]
Lombardia Computer: Warning: A degenerative chain reaction has been detected in the generator. All crew members, evacuate immediately.
[The ship shakes. Felius then picks up Iskender Bey.]
Felius: This is the end, Kressen. You will never succeed the Lord of Darkness's throne.
Kressen: What do you know? This isn't the end! I refuse to let it end this way!
Kressen: I'm taking you with me, Felius!
[Kressen charges at Felius, but is pushed back with one sweep.]
Kressen: Yeargh!
Felius: Yulia... Please be safe...
Kressen: Heh heh heh heh... Hah hah hah hah hah!
Felius: ...
Kressen: You can't protect her. You don't have the power to protect anyone!
[The ship shakes again.]
Lombardia Computer: All crew members, evacuate immediately. Repeat--
[Felius turns and walks away. We hear several beeps and something like a hatch opening.]
Lombardia Computer: Escape pod launched.
[The Lombardia starts exploding on the outside. It shakes and rumbles again.]
Kressen: This isn't the end! This is the beginning! The beginning of my revenge!
Kressen: I am the man who will inherit the power of Belia Lugos!
Kressen: Felius...and every other living being on Elw Borea... Inscribe this warning upon your souls!
Kressen: I pledge here and now that one day I will find you, and the humiliation that you have inflicted upon me will be avenged!
Kressen: Never forget this being who has vowed vengeance upon you! If it takes me all of eternity, I will find you!
Kressen: Hah hah hah! Ahh hah hah hah! Bwaah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah!
[The rumbling gets worse and the screen turns blue, then flashes white as we hear an explosion. Then we see Felius on a black background.]
Felius: --Kressen!!!
[The background changes to Weisheit's lab.]
Felius: ...
[A cut-in shows the others lying on the floor.]
Felius: Where... What is this..?!
[Weisheit warps in behind him.]
Weisheit: It has been a very long time since anyone has called me Kressen. I cannot tell you how happy I am to hear you say that name...Felius.
[Felius turns.]
Felius: "That name"...? What... But you...
Weisheit: Are you having trouble deciding what to call me? Feel free to use whichever name provokes the strongest reaction within you.
Felius: Then...you really are Kressen...?
Weisheit: you do have trust issues, don't you, Felius? If I were to count the cuts sliced into Yulia's chest, would you believe me then?
Felius: ...! You...!!!
Weisheit: heh heh heh... Hah hah hah! Ah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah!!! Welcome to my laboratory, Felius!
Weisheit: It took a great deal of trouble to track you across the dimensions and summon you here, you know.
Felius: You brought us here...?
Weisheit: Heh heh heh... Not "us", Felius. You.
[Tactical Map style, Ragnar finally stands up.]
Ragnar: Where are we...?
[Clarissa then stands up.]
Clarissa: Urgh... Is everyone all right?
[The others all stand.]
Weisheit: Finally up, are you? Too bad I have no use for any of you. As long as I've got Felius, that's all I need.
Alexia: What are you saying...?
Weisheit: I'm saying that you're uninvited guests...and I'm afraid I can't guarantee your safety here!
[A red golem appears in front of Weisheit.]
Labyrinthia: A golem! The same one as before...?!
Levin: That's not all, Ms. Wordsworth!
[Several zombie Drifters appear around them.]
Ragnar: Are those...oh, no, the black ARM victims?!
Weisheit: ARMs, including the Necro Oracle Crypt ARM, are all part of my family of weapons...
Living art on the battlefield... A gift from Elw Borea, made to throw Filgaia into the flames of warfare.
Ragnar: You made these...? These weapons that spread war worldwide...that toy with the lives of all mankind!
[Weisheit draws his sword.]
Weisheit: Heh heh heh... Would you be so kind as to show me how my weapons stack up against each other...?
Asgard! Don't hurt Felius. He's important to me.
[Asgard "growls".]
=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: We're fighting Weisheit's guard force: Asgard, the golem, and a group of black ARM victims.
Asgard will require care to defeat. His overwhelming power is a serious threat, even now.
Labyrinthia: If we get a chance to strike, we must take advantage of his Machine element. His body is made of strong, thick steel.
Labyrinthia: As an Arcanist, my "lightning" would deliver a crushing blow to a machien like him.
If we could launch a barrage of lightning-based moves at him, this battle would be easily won...but I'm afraid it won't be that simple.
Labyrinthia: Asgard's got to leave himself open sooner or later, though. Keep a close eye on the tide of battle. When you spot a chance, take advantage of it!
[The battle ends when all enemies have been defeated.]
Weisheit: Withdraw, Asgard.
[Asgard warps away.]
Felius: Heeeyah!
[Felius charges at Weisheit, halberd drawn, but his attack is deflected. Weisheit holds out his purple and black sword in a defensive manner.]
Felius: Aleadrex?!
Weisheit: That's right. Just one piece of Belia Lugos' legacy. I'll make a worthy successor, wouldn't you agree?
Felius: Kressen! You're still obsessed with that?!
Weisheit: Oh, absolutely. Enthralled, in fact, by a power far too strong to resist.
Weisheit: Making others yield to one's power is an intoxicating sensation, but so is yielding to a greater power oneself. I don't doubt Yulia would tell you the same.
Felius: You...!!!
[He charges at him again, but he's warped away before he can strike.]
Weisheit: Heh heh heh...
Clarissa: Felius?!
Weisheit: You needn't worry. I will safeguard Felius's life.
[Weisheit warps away. Clarissa runs up to where he stood, looking around frantically. Weisheit's voice resounds from afar.]
Weisheit: After all, he is my key. Heh heh heh. The key to the door to another world...!
[The screen fades to black and the player is prompted to save.]
