|
Rikken |
Blast the sea! Blast the waves! Blast it all! |
Elza |
Hadn¡¯t you noticed? He¡¯d been searching for a place to die all along. |
Raz |
Lord Reddas weren¡¯t the sort of man to run away from his problems by dyin¡¯! He weren¡¯t! How could he abandon this town!? |
Elza |
You¡¯d have him regret passing? You¡¯d have him suffer and wail for enternity¡? |
Raz |
Th-That¡¯s not what I meant¡ No, if he¡¯s gone, then he should rest in peace. Gods know, he deserves it. |
Elza |
Then let him. If you¡¯ve time to mourn and curse him, then you¡¯ve certainly time too carry on what he started. |
Rikken |
Satisfied? Reddas? We¡¯d be lucky if we earned a ¡°not disappointed¡± from him! But I suppose everything depends on us now. |
Elza |
Us¡and Vaan¡¯s crew. |
Raz |
Arr? Since when have you trusted that lot with more than swabbing the deck? |
Elza |
I wasn¡¯t blind. I saw the faith that Reddas had in them. I¡¯m sure they¡¯ll discover what it is they need to do in short time. |
Raz |
They should be meetin¡¯ up at the manse as we speak¡ Who was that odd fellow anyway¡? |
Vaan |
Al-Cid? |
Al-Cid |
We let ourselves inside. |
Vaan |
How did you know where we were? |
Al-Cid |
My little birds, they tell me many, many things. |
Ashe |
Then you were unsuccessful in stopping the Rozarrian fleet? |
Al-Cid |
I used a variety of methods. |
Ashe |
The Resistance? |
Al-Cid |
During training, a division of the Resistance ignored their orders and disappeared. |
Basch |
Why would they go there? |
Al-Cid |
You misunderstand. Those ships most surely belonged to a Rozarrian division. |
Balthier |
Should this fight drag on Rozarria will enter the fray, the defense of Dalmasca as their excuse¡and we will have a war between empires. |
Al-Cid |
Correct. They will bide their time ¨C waiting to strike until the Empire has spent itself against the Marquis. |
Basch |
Vayne holds the Dusk Shard no longer. |
Al-Cid |
Vayne has advantages enough. |
Fran |
It is the Mist that came before the Cryst was undone. It breathed life into this Bahamut. |
Balthier |
Yes, the man¡¯s last great accomplishment, I fear. |
Ashe |
Vayne commands Bahamut himself? |
Al-Cid |
He comes to Rabanastre. |
Vaan |
That¡¯s our charge, actually. |
Penelo |
It¡¯s our home. |
Al-Cid |
And my charge is to hinder and delay this Rozarrian invasion for as long as is possible. |
Rikken |
Lo, Vaan! Word from the Resistance! The Imperial sky fortress Bahamut is on the attack! This¡this could be bad¡ |
Rabanastran A |
This wind¡ |
Rabanastran B |
A tornado? It can¡¯t be! |
Rabanastran C |
It¡¯s headed right for us! |
Imperial A |
Make your target the Resistance heavy cruiser. |
Vayne |
Our dear Cid? |
Imperial B |
Firing solution complete. |
Imperial C |
Release valves open! |
Imperial D |
Main and auxiliary show clear! |
Larsa |
Put an end to this! |
Vayne |
Let us make of this an offering. |
Imperial A |
The main battery stands ready! |
Larsa |
I beg you! |
Vayne |
Fire. |
Larsa |
Why this¡ |
Vayne |
Once they see that there can be no surrender, the resistance (they) must need come at us with all they have. |
Larsa |
If you do this, the people will only grow to hate you the more. |
Vayne |
And should I pardon them, they will only rise up yet again. |
Larsa |
I do not believe they would. |
Vayne |
And if I am? You had best find the strength you need to correct me then. |
Imperial A |
Ships sighted ahead! A score or more! |
Vayne |
Hear this! |
Imperials |
For Archadia! |
Resistant |
All ships, prepare to fire on my command. |
Ondore |
May fortune favor us all. |
Imperial A |
This is Orthros leader: |
Imperial B |
Many and more to choose from, ripe for the taking! |
Resistant A |
Remember your training and we¡¯ll make it! |
Resistant B |
Icebrand, with me! |
Resistant |
All ships clear! |
Ondore |
Give word to the cannons. |
Resistant |
We have a clean line! |
Ondore |
Prepare the second volley! |
Resistant |
The Carrier Galuf-Val¡ |
Unknown ship from abaft! |
|
Ondore |
Could it be? |
Ashe |
Uncle, it is I! |
Ondore |
What are you saying? |
Ashe |
If we allow them to destroy us here, there will be no after. |
Ondore |
Stop. |
Larsa? |
Hold it! |
Ondore |
Larsa Solidor? |
Ashe |
No, Uncle. |
Larsa |
Leave it to us! |
Ondore |
Understood. |
Vaan |
Yes! |
Penelo |
¡°I got the Princess covered¡±? |
He doesn't talk like that. | |
Vaan |
Larsa¡¯d say that. |
Really? | |
Balthier |
We¡¯re relying on you for fire support. |
Fran |
One follows! |
Balthier |
Ah, you want to dance! |
Fran |
A new partner. |
Balthier |
It¡¯s not easy being this popular, you know. |
Vaan |
Come on! Come on! |
Sky Fortress Bahamut |
|
Antechamber |
|
Balthier |
Vayne will be in the fortress¡¯s command tower. |
Ashe |
We need not fight all the Empire to win. |
Vaan |
Let¡¯s get going then. |
Imperial |
They hide in the sun! |
Imperial |
Counter-air battery destroyed! |
What are you waiting for? |
|
Zargabaath |
Is this their worst? |
Resistant |
Evasive hard aport! |
Ondore |
The line is drawn. |
Fran |
The Resistance fights their battle well. |
Vaan |
Stop worrying. |
Penelo |
It¡¯s kind of hard to believe. |
Basch |
A queen might always ¡°run away¡± with the help of a sky pirate looking to raise his bounty ???. |
Balthier |
I doubt our queen would need the help of any sky pirates. |
Ashe |
Do you really think me as strong as all that? |
Vaan |
Who said anything about strong? |
Even if you're not...we came together, we'll go together. | |
Basch |
So you have lived. |
Gabranth |
I am Judge Magister. |
Basch |
Gabranth. Do not blame yourself anymore. |
Gabranth |
You confound me, Brother! |
Basch |
I had someone more important to defend. |
Gabranth |
Silence! |
Basch |
I do as I must, brother. |
Gabranth |
Futile, Basch! Long have I walked in Hatred¡¯s company. |
Basch |
Then come! |
Gabranth |
Have you your fill of this? |
Basch |
I would ask you the same. |
Gabranth |
I¡¯ve no right to be called by that name. |
Basch |
Then live. |
Vayne |
I bid you welcome to my sky fortress, the Bahamut. |
Ashe |
I am simply myself. |
Vayne |
Such a woman is not fit to bear the burden of fule. |
Larsa |
No. |
Vayne |
Bold words, child. |
Gabranth |
Lord Larsa¡ |
Vayne |
Your lives are forfeit, and your insurgence with them. Dalmasca will again know order. |
Larsa |
Lord Brother! |
Vaan |
Larsa! |

Vayne |
Behold the power left me by our fallen friend. |
Gabranth |
Yes, I will defend Lord Larsa! |
Vayne |
The hound strays. |
Gabranth |
One I gladly pay. |
Vayne |
Ivalice will know a new Dynast-King, and Man will keep his own history! |
Gabranth |
Even a stray has pride! |
Vayne |
Burn in hell, Gabranth! |

Basch, tell me. |
Basch |
Aye. |
Vayne |
Venat! |
Entrust your dream in another person. | |
Venat |
They are fulfilled beyond your knowing. |
The world no longer has any need for the immortal ones. | |
You shall not tread this path alone. Together we gao. Come. |
|
Vayne |
Won¡¯t Cid be eager to learn what has happened here. |

Balthier |
Well? |
Fran |
No fuel goes to the glossair engines. |
Balthier |
Damn! |
Vaan |
Right. |
Balthier |
Fran, with me! |
Ashe |
Look! Bahamut¡¯s glossair rings are stopping! |
Balthier |
Vaan! |
Vaan |
Don¡¯t worry. |
Fran |
Penelo, watch for interference from Bahamut¡¯s skystone. |
Penelo |
I¡¯ll see what I can do. |
Gabranth |
Basch. |
Basch |
I understand. |
Gabranth |
Lord Larsa is our last hope. |
Penelo |
Vaan, the power¡¯s back! |
Vaan |
Right! Let¡¯s go! |
Resistant |
Sir! |
Ondore |
The Strahl! |
Gabranth? |
This is Judge Magister Gabranth. |
Larsa |
Attention. |
Resistant |
Sir! Your orders, sir? |
Ashe |
This is Ashelia Dalmasca. |
Ondore |
The Lady Ashe! |
Ashe |
I confirm what Judge Magister Gabranth and Larsa Solidor have said here. |
Penelo |
Look Vaan, the Bahamut! |
Resistant |
A message from the Alexander! |
Ondore |
Take it. |
Resistant |
Sir. |
Zargabaath |
This is Judge Zargabaath, captain of the Alexander, flagship of the 12th Dalmascan Fleet the Arcadian army. |
Ondore |
Madness! |
Zargabaath |
Should she fall, the paling will not hold, and all Rabanastre will be obliterated! |
Balthier |
Hasty, aren¡¯t they. I think it¡¯s a little early to be throwing away our lives just yet. |
Vaan |
Balthier? |
Balthier |
Ah, Vaan! |
Ondore |
What does he think he¡¯s doing? |
Balthier |
Marquis! Stop that fool Judge on the Alexander for me, would you? |
Ashe |
Balthier! Do you understand exactly what it is you¡¯re doing? |
Balthier |
Princess! |
Ashe |
Listen to me, Balthier. |
Fran |
I¡¯d say you¡¯re in more of a supporting role. |
Balthier |
Fran, please. |
Vaan |
Roger that. |
Ashe |
Balthier¡ |
