WAXF Script
< Final Act 3 >
[A trail forms to Silver Peaks, marked with a red !. Tactical Map style, we see the very top of Mt. Urartu... and Edna, of all people, suddenly warps in.]
Edna?: How did I...? The jump coordinates must have slipped...
...This body still isn't strong enough to handle the power I need...
[She looks around.]
Edna?: The dimensional collapse... It's growing, expanding...
...Without Felius's body...I can't allow this to continue... It would render centuries of work meaningless...
Edna?: ...Time for a change of plan...
I'll have to stop the gate generator before it destroys both Elw Borea and Filgaia...
[All of a sudden, Katrina floats up to her.]
Katrina: Hee hee hee hee hee...
Edna?: Katrina...?
Katrina: Now what would you be doing here?
Edna?: Get out of my way, Katrina! I don't have time for you now!
Katrina: You wouldn't, would you? After all, Filgaia's about to blink out of existence...
Edna?: Why...how did you know that...?
[Katrina floats a little to the side in order to face Edna.]
Katrina: I don't need to know it. I can feel it. I've never heard Filgaia scream so loudly before.
Edna?: Then get out of my way. There'S still time...I can still stop the worlds from annihilating each other!
Katrina: Why do I have to get out of your way? Why do I even have to listen to you?
Edna?: What...?
Katrina: Can't you feel the fear...? It's about to erupt all over Filgaia, crossing every boundary known to man...
And when that happens, I'll finally be able to understand what fear is truly like...
Edna?: So you're mad after all...
Katrina: Hee hee hee hee hee...
You're scared of yourself, aren't you? Of all the things you've done. There's no point trying to hide it.
That's all you're capable of in the end. It makes me laugh, seeing you hope for far more than you'd ever deserve...
Edna?: Get out of my way!!
Katrina: No.
Edna?: How dare you!!
[Several small blasts of light ignite around them, one at a time, gradually getting closer to Edna.]
Katrina: Didn't you know?
I despise you.
[Katrina throws her arm up in the air and calls forth a large blast of energy and fire to annihilate Edna - and Weisheit - from existence once and for all. Just as the remnants of the blast disappear, Chevalet Blanc arrives at the scene. Back to the normal cutscene style.]
Katrina: Ah hah hah hah hah hah hah! Ah hah hah... Hah hah hah hah hah hah hah!
Katrina: What succulent fear, all cascading into me! And it will only continue to transform into even greater terror!
Katrina: Crumble, world! Suck every living creature into your ultimate destruction!
Katrina: All you who will be sacrificed, heed my demand. Offer up your fear unto me! Let your terror teach me its secrets!
Katrina: Hee hee hee... Ah hah hah hah hah hah!
Alexia: Katrina...
[Katrina suddenly stops laughing and scowls darkly.]
Katrina: Alexia...
Katrina: I suppose you too intend to stop the destruction of the world?
Clarissa: Princess Katrina... Is stopping you even possible anymore?
Katrina: What can mere humans do to stop me?
Levin: ...
[The screen's colors invert for a split second and Katrina holds her hand to her chest, speaking softly.]
Katrina: I just want to understand. I only want to know what it means to feel fear...
Labyrinthia: ...
Katrina: Why wouldn't anyone ever teach me?
Ragnar: ...
[She clutches her head.]
Katrina: I've always wanted to understand it. But because I don't understand... Because I've never known fear, I invited this upon us...
Felius: ...
[The colors invert again and she lets go of her head, scowling again.]
Katrina: You can't stop it. There is no way to stop it. No one can stop this swell of fear...
Clarissa: Princess Katrina...
Alexia: Katrina...
[The colors invert again and she clutches her head.]
Katrina: ...
Clarissa: It'll be okay. You don't need to worry....
Alexia: We'll find a way to save you!
Alexia: I swear that we will find a way to end your misery!
Katrina: ...Yeah...
[The colors invert twice and Katrina screws her eyes shut. She floats up to the air ominously, raising her head as she seems to scream with red eyes. She seems to be shocked by electricity and collapses to the ground. Dark miasma emanates from her and soon, the same giant crow as before flies up above Chevalet Blanc. Red markings appear on its face and wings.]
Labyrinthia: That... That's not a Guardian!
[The crow speaks in a voice resembling Katrina's, but deeper and morbidly distorted.]
Fear Clysmian: Katrina touched a wave of fear, but could not comprehend it. As a result, she summoned not a Guardian, but me.
Fear Clysmian: Indeed, I am no Guardian. I am the antipole of a Guardian.
Fear Clysmian: I am disaster made flesh!
=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 black incarnation lies before us. The great raven of doom spreads its wings, wings born from fear itself.
This is a Clysmian...
Labyrinthia: Compared to before...the silhouette hasn't changed, but I can detect several small differences.
Perhaps it's learned from the previous battle and evolved itself to better deal with our attacks.
Let's counter that by taking a different approach from before. Recall how we fought it in the old capital!
Fear Clysmian: I can feel it--the fear you release! How fragrant it is!
As long as you have breath, there is no escaping fear...the purest, most powerful emotion there is! Let's see how much I can extract from you!
[The battle ends when the Fear Clysmian is defeated.]
Clarissa: Did we kill it?
[More miasma emanates from Katrina's body on the ground, and the Clysmian appears above them again.]
Levin: It...it came back?!
Ragnar: There's no end to this! It'll just keep wearing us down!
Fear Clysmian: I cannot be destroyed by the hand of man. The threat that emanates from above is sowing terror in the hearts of all beings...
Fear Clysmian: That river of fear will revive this body despite your pitiful attempts to destroy it.
[The screen shakes violently.]
Clarissa: Aaaah!
Fear Clysmian: Katrina has summoned me into this world. Here, I can feed on the fear of others, and sustain myself indefinitely.
Fear Clysmian: None can fight this power.
Fear Clysmian: Mine is the force that opposes the Guardians... You will learn what my existence means!
[The screen fades to black and the player is prompted to save.]
