WAXF Script
< Act 4-6 >
[A link from Rasalom Keep to Elensia forms. Elensia is marked with a red !. And now for a sidequest interlude...]
-Heart of Fire-
[The party steps into the volcano. The colors invert for a moment and Clarissa looks around.]
Clarissa: What on earth is this pressure?! It's overwhelming!
[The colors invert again and Ragnar stands on guard.]
Ragnar: Yeah, I can feel it, too!
Felius: Some kind of dimensional tremor?! Is something trying to enter this world without even using a gate?!
Labyrinthia: Look at that! Someone's appearing!
[In the center, the screen flashes white and a huge black monster appears.]
Levin: Whoooooa! Are you serious?!
Uh...listen, how about we all just go home, all right?
Alexia: I don't think he has any intention of letting us do that...!
Tony: ...
Clarissa: Well, let's do this, then!
=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...no, this is no line. All he's doing is waiting for us.
This power, though...it's overwhelming. Enough to make me feel like we're fighting a hundred monsters rolled into a single body...
From what I heard, this monster's chief weapon is the searing flame it holds control over.
With that in min, I think it'd be best to fight back with water-based attacks.
But...well, with an enemy this strong, I'm concerned how well such a straightforward approach will work on the field.
This will be a test of how effectively we can take advantage of the element of water, no doubt about it.
Of course... I doubt that'll be all there is to this battle, either...
[When Ragu o Ragula is defeated, he... explodes. The player returns to the world map.]
-Richala Rose-
(Quarry)
Wistful Woman: The pressure I detected from the western volcano is gone. I suppose the King of Monsters was just a myth after all... Thank heavens.
[Upon entering Elensia, the party runs into the city, with Tony in the front.]
Levin: This is looking surprisingly easy... Maybe the enemy's finally run out of steam.
Labyrinthia: No...it's going a little too well. Don't let your guard down.
[The camera pans over to the city square, showing Zortroa kinsmen with their monsters and a Tarasque in the center.]
Ragnar: The Zortroa Kinship! They're still serving the Council?!
Labyrinthia: They've assembled a large army to defend the capital... But there's something fishy about this.
Ragnar: You mean, about the Council's approach?
Labyrinthia: If they intended to overwhelm us with numbers, there wouldn't be any need for them to delay us... They've got to have something up their sleeve!
Ragnar: You may be right...but we can't turn back now, no matter what awaits us.
=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: The Council's deployed a horde of monsters in the center of the city... We cannot allow them to trample on our countrymen any longer.
Labyrinthia: Judging by the monsters they have in place, this is going to be far from a straightforward conquest...
Labyrinthia: It looks like they've chosen their units carefully, so as to cover each other's weaknesses as smoothly as possible.
Labyrinthia: We'll need to have the right classes, and the right skills, for the units we have at hand...
In fact, the key to victory might be to balance out our party as much as we can, to prepare for any further reinforcements that have yet to arrive.
[After about six enemies are defeated...]
-Reinforcements appeared!-
[When two more enemies are defeated...]
-Reinforcements appeared!-
[The battle ends when all enemies are defeated. Tactical Map style, a group of Martial Guardsmen surround Chevalet Blanc.]
Felius: ...Here it comes! The second wave!!
Ragnar: Oh, great, now it's the Martial Guard?!
Clarissa: They don't have anyone leading them! We can't afford to lose this!
-Council Chamber-
[Katrina holds her hands together eagerly.]
Katrina: This is incredible! So intense! And so much of it... So much fear flowing into me...
Katrina: Fear of being hurt by someone... Fear of having to hurt someone..
Katrina: More... I need more! Give me more fear, so I can know what it is!
[On the other side of the room, Edna faces Charlton.]
Edna: You're sacrificing all that's left of the Martial Guard to fuel the Darkness Tear...? Then let's finish this, Charlton!
Charlton: That battlefield is directly above the ring of desecration I've created. This is goodbye, Chevalet Blanc.
Charlton: The life energy torn from the Drifters will trigger a chain reaction that lays waste to everything in the area!
Charlton: Behold, the Darkness Tear! Their life force iwll be dissolved and consumed before they even sense that anything is amiss!
Katrina: No!
[The two flinch suddenly and stop moving.]
Charlton: Urrggghh... What?! I...can't move...! Katrina, are you...?!
[Katrina walks up to them, scowling coldly.]
Katrina: I said no, Charlton. You can't do that.
Katrina: If you do it that way, no one will have a chance to be afraid.
Charlton: What...what are you...
[Katrina closes her eyes, smirking.]
Katrina: Stay here and watch, Charlton, Edna. I'll take care of this for you.
[Katrina warps away and Edna shrieks in horror.]
Edna: Eeeeekkk!!!
Charlton: Has Katrina gone to the battlefield? What is she planning to do?!
[Back at the city sqaure...]
Martial Guardsman: Battles are won with numbers! We can't lose when we have them this outnumbered!
[Katrina appears not too far away, standing on a rooftop.]
Katrina: Hee hee hee. Things are about to get interesting...
[She closes her eyes and a dark red light glows from her, envelopping the area and turning the screen black.]
Martial Guardsman: What...what's going on?! What the hell happened?
Martial Guardsman: Where'd the enemy go? Wait... where is everybody?!
[Two guardsmen turn, back and forth in their confusion.]
Clarissa: What just happened? Their formation is falling apart...
Alexia: Katrina?!
Clarissa: Huh?
[A cut-in shows the same rooftop, but Katrina is nowhere to be seen.]
Clarissa: Where?
Alexia: That was Katrina... I know it was...
Levin: You two! Let's get focused here!
Ragnar: Their confusion is our opportunity! This is the only chance we'll get to turn the tables!
=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... Well, it's hardly a "line" at this point!
Labyrinthia: What on earth is going on here?! The Martial Guard just fell into chaos, all of a sudden... They're in a state of complete disarray.
Labyrinthia: ...
It would be remiss for us not to take the advantage of this, of course...
Labyrinthia: Avoid their flailing weapons, and counterattack swiftly and accurately!
Labyrinthia: We'll have to watch out for their attacks... They may be untargeted, but the Guardsmen's fear will lend additional strength to their already powerful attacks.
These Guardsmen may be rudderless, but they're still the keystone of the capital's defenses... We must be cautious. Don't let yourself get panicked!
Martial Guardsman Zazie: Damn... Why'd it get dark so fast?!
Martial Guardsman Uno: I can't see anything! Who are you...?! Friend, or foe?!
[The battle ends when all enemies are defeated. In the Council Chamber...]
Charlton: This isn't a battle anymore... It's pandemonium...
[Katrina warps in.]
Charlton: What did you do to the Drifters?
Katrina: They were so confident that they had their foes outnumbered, they radiated no fear at all.
Katrina: So I locked them in darkness. I stole their light.
Katrina: It caused a mass panic, and their hearts nearly burst with fear!
Charlton: ...
Edna: Ch...Charlton... This is no longer the capital... This is hell.
[Katrina's smirk widens into a crazy grin.]
Katrina: Whatever do you mean, Edna? This city has become drenched with fear. It's such a wonderful place!
Edna: Charlton! We have to get out of here!
Edna: We can loot the royal treasury, and make a new capital somewhere else!
Edna: I don't want to die! Not in a hellpit like this! Charlton...!
[Charlton clenches his teeth, snarling.]
Charlton: ...
Charlton: We have a duty to rule this country. To let them chase us out of our own capital like cowards...
Edna: You're useless when I need you most! This is no time for principle, Charlton--pull it together!
[Charlton folds his arms in thought.]
Charlton: ...
Charlton: It won't end like this, Chevalet Blanc...
Charlton: There may be but one heaven over Filgaia, but there is more than one capital in Elesius...
Katrina: Hee hee hee! So much fear! So many kinds of fear!
Katrina: Hee hee hee hee... Hah hah hah!
[The scene changes to Chevalet Blanc arriving in the castle hall.]
Alexia: ...The Royal Knights?!
[Eisen stands at the top of the stairs, brandishing a bladed shield.]
Levin: No... Father! What're you doing?!
Alexia: I thought you sympathized with my father, Eisen... Why?!
Royal Knights Captain Eisen: ...
Felius: Something's wrong with him... He's like a puppet with all the will sucked out of him. Like he's not even human...
Levin: After all this time... Princess Alexia has finally returned to the capital...
And this is how you welcome her, Father? You idiot...
Alexia: ...Levin...
Levin: Listen... I don't want any of you to hold back. Help me wake up that no-good father of mine...
Labyrinthia: Let's take a look at the Tactical Map we'll be fighting on.
Labyrinthia: We'll be starting here...
Labyrinthia: And the "iron wall" of the Elesius Royal Knights looks like this.
Labyrinthia: ...
Captain Eisen and his knights are acting more than a little oddly, as you can see... Something must have happened to them.
Labyrinthia: ...
Attack them and deplete their HP until they're within breathing distance of death. Rob them of their ability to fight. That's got to be enough to wake them up...
Do you understand, everyone?
Whatever you do, don't go overboard. The Royal Knights are sickened by the state of this nation as much as we are!
Royal Knights Captain Eisen: ...
[The battle ends when all enemies are in crisis status.]
Royal Knight Gordon: Wha...? Where are we? What happened?!
Royal Knight Herschel: I...I feel like I was fighting someone in a dream...
Alexia: Royal Knights!
Royal Knight Louis: --Huh?!
Alexia: You disappoint me. You are supposed to be the strongest warriors in the realm.
Alexia: Herschel, Gordon, Louis... At the tournament two years ago, you displayed greater strength and finer technique.
Alexia: Have you let them rust in my absence?
Royal Knight Herschel: The tournament two years ago...?
Alexia: And Eisen most of all!
Alexia: Leading the Royal Knights is your sworn duty! Perhaps you've been too busy pruning your precious bonsai tree to discipline the men under your command?
Royal Knights Captain Eisen: --?!
Royal Knight Gordon: She even knows the captain's secret hobby! Then that means we raised our swords against the true princess...
Royal Knights Captain Eisen: ...
Royal Knights Captain Eisen: ...
Royal Knights Captain Eisen: Clear out, men.
Royal Knight Gordon: Captain...
Royal Knights Captain Eisen: We have no right to be here.
Royal Knight Herschel: ...
[The three knights slowly move out. Eisen turns to follow suit until Levin comes up behind him.]
Levin: What are you doing?! Why would you...
Royal Knights Captain Eisen: ...
[Eisen leaves.]
Levin: Father, you idiot, you got it all wrong! That isn't what she was trying to do!
[Levin clenches his teeth.]
Levin: Why... WHY?!
Alexia: Levin... I understand how painful that must have been for you...
Alexia: But for now, please try to stand proud for me.
Levin: ...
Alexia: I need everyone to hold their heads high, to give confidence to the people.
[They turn to the entrance. The doors are open and a crowd is gathering there.]
Levin: The people of Elensia...
[Alexia steps forward.]
Alexia: ...
Alexia: Until today, until this moment, you have endured much for me. I am proud of you all!
Alexia: I, Alexia Lynn Elesius, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Alexia: ...
Alexia: ...
Alexia: ...
[She smiles.]
Alexia: I'm back, everyone. I'm sorry it took so long...
[The crowd cheers. The screen turns black and the player is prompted to save.]
