WAXF Script
< Act 2-7 >
[An immense blue orb floats above the plaza.]
Clarissa: So that's the Grauswein device...
Labyrinthia: We may lack the knowledge and expertise to safely disarm the bomb, but fortunately, this is just the summoning apparatus.
Labyrinthia: If we destroy the apparatus itself, we should be able to stop them from ever summoning the bomb at all!
Levin: You mean, if we can destroy it before they activate it. Knowing them, they're not gonna let us at it without a fight!
Ragnar: Well well... Look who's there! Looks like this is going to be an all-out battle.
[Rupert is there, looking annoyed.]
Rupert: Dammit, Weisheit... You couldn't have held them off for just a little while longer?
Rupert: ...Then again...
Clarissa: Rupert?!
Felius: ...
[Rupert throws his head back and laughs.]
Rupert: Hah hah hah, this is great! Now I KNOW I was right!
Rupert: After all, who could imagine big brother traveling with anyone but little missy, huh?
Clarissa: ...
[He smirks and winks.]
Rupert: What did you come here for, anyway? Control of Elesius? Or...this?
[He draws and holds up Iskender Bey.]
Clarissa: Iskender Bey...
Rupert: You know its name? For a princess, you sure know a lot about swords, Your Highness!
Clarissa: Don't play games with me!
Rupert: You think I'm the one playing games? I'm done playing along with your farce!
Rupert: After today, I won't ever have to see your faces again!
=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 goal here is to stop the tactical mass-annihilation device, Grauswein, from being summoned.
We'll have to weave our way through the defending units in order to attack the summoning device.
Labyrinthia: There's no time left to spare. Stopping the ceremony before the countdown reaches zero is our first and only priority.
Labyrinthia: If we can't destroy the main summoning device...we'll have to aim for the six generators instead.
Rupert: Let's get this over with, people! No need to let the princess go runnin' around while this thing's still warmin' up!
[If someone tries to attack the device...]
-The generators repair the damage to the device!-
[The battle ends when either all enemies have been defeated or all six generators have been destroyed. Three slashing motions flash on the screen and Rupert backs up.]
Rupert: Dammit! These pests are messing up everything!
Labyrinthia: Avoid engaging the foes too much, and focus your attacks on the summoning apparatus! We can end this now!
Rupert: Those are coward's tactic! Why don't you come fight me fair and square?!
[Charlton enters the scene.]
Charlton: "Fair and square..." That's not an expression I think I've ever heard you use before, Rupert. ...It doesn't suit you.
Rupert: Boss?! Damn, speakin' of firsts, I've never seen you risk scuffin' your boots before!
Levin: --The Council Chairman? Charlton?!
CLarissa: (That's...the Chairman?!)
Charlton: It's not how I prefer to opening, but we do stand to lose everything if we can't suppress this rebellion...
Rupert: Yeah. Well, the thing is...
Charlton: I'd prefer to see you focus more on your blades and less on making excuses.
Rupert: ...Hmph.
Charlton: Rebels, please suspend your futile attacks.
Ragnar: Don't you realize you has the upper hand here?
Charlton: Haven't you learned? The upper hand is always ours.
[A pair of blue-robed men bring Hrathnir along.]
Labyrinthia: What! You've taken the King of Elesius hostage?!
Levin: And you call yourselves statesmen?!
Charlton: King Hrathnir seems quite distressed with your ill-advised actions against the national interests of Elesius.
Clarissa: (King Hrathnir...?!)
Charlton: Now, would you kindly drop your weapons?
Charlton: Don't worry. Once the Grauswein summoning preparations are complete, you can all expire together.
[Ragnar smirks.]
Ragnar: Do you honestly think we're going to agree to a plan like that?
Charlton: I do not intend to negotiate with you, and I will not allow you to stall for time. I ask you to respond to my demands, and nothing more.
Clarissa: ...We'll do it.
Levin: --Your Highness?!
Charlton: That is quite admirable. Putting aside the issue of whether or not you truly are the princess, your selflessness has earned my esteem.
Charlton: ...
Charlton: Very well then, my lady. Might I ask you to throw that weapon you're holding towards me?
Felius: ...!
[Clarissa holds up Strahl Gewehr, looking down at it.]
Clarissa: It's all right. Protecting the king is our priority...
Felius: ...
King Hrathnir: How low can you possibly sink, Charlton?
King Hrathnir: And how much value as a hostage could I possibly have, with so little time left to live?
Charlton: Your value is not for us to determine. The other side seems to have already assigned you one.
[Clarissa throws down her gun with a clatter.]
Clarissa: As you asked, I've thrown down my weapon...
King Hrtahnir: My sickness may have rotted my body, but it has not dulled my mind, Charlton.
Charlton: That matters little if you've already become too frail to rule. The nation has no further need of you, Your Majesty.
Charlton: ...
Charlton: You two... You know what to do.
Robed Man #1: As you wish.
[One of the robed men picks up Strahl Gewehr.]
Robed Man #1: Such an intriguing design. Could this be the "howling blaster" of legend?
Clarissa: ...
Robed Man #1: I wonder how much power it possesses? Perhaps you can assist in a demonstration...
[He aims at Clarissa.]
Clarissa: ...!?
Robed Man #1: Die.
[He pulls the trigger, but nothing happens.]
Robed Man #1: What? Why won't it fire?
Clarissa: Tony!--Get him!
[Tony lunges on the robed man, forcing him to drop Strahl Gewehr. Hrathnir sees the opening and dashes towards them.]
King Hrathnir: Catch!
[He kicks it up and Clarissa catches it in mind-air. Hrathnir moves out of the way as Clarissa aims for Charlton and fires a beam of light in his direction; Charlton blocks it with his right hand.]
Clarissa: Strahl Gewehr?!
Charlton: My arm--?! They're reacting...?!
[The screen flashes white as the attack ends. Hrathnir stands by Labyrinthia.]
Labyrinthia: His Majesty is safe! I'm calling for a temporary retreat! Chevalet Blanc, fall back, quickly!
[They run off.]
Rupert: Dirty cowards!
[He prepares to run off after them, but Charlton interrupts him as he speaks up.]
Charlton: Let them flee, Rupert. As long as Grauswein is safe, we still have a care to play.
Charlton: ...
Charlton: Tighten security around the summoning apparatus. When we lure them back here, I want to see every last one of them caught in the blast.
[The screen fades to black and the player is prompted to save.]
