Just for the lulz, I'll note that with the Japanese audio on, Rupert says in the flashback sequence: "USO DA."

< Act 4-5 >

-Council Chamber-

Charlton: I want a straight answer from you, Edna. What did you do to Princess Katrina?
Edna: I...I didn't do anything. But something's awakened inside the girl, that's for certain.
Charlton: "Something"?
Edna: Perhaps her incredible strength as a pricness medium has summoned some powerful presence into her body...
Charlton: ...
Edna: But that's nothing for you to concern yourself over. You have your own job to do!
Edna: Chevalet Blanc can't be far from the capital, you know!
Charlton: It will take another 36 hours to complete the Darkness Tear ritual...
Edna: We don't have that much time!
Charlton: I'll get us that much time. I have something in the works.

[Katrina walks up to them.]

Katrina: Ooh, what is it? Are you conspiring to kill someone?
Charlton: ...
Edna: ...

[Katrina clasps her hands together.]

Katrina: This city will become a battleground soon, right? Tee hee... I can't wait!

-Rasalom Keep: Strategy Room-

[Levin walks up to Clarissa and Alexia with his hand on his chest.]

Levin: Clarissa, Princess Alexia... Could you come over here for a minute? I caught some enemy scouts!
Alexia: Enemy scouts?!
Clarissa: We'll be right there!

[Outside, they walk up to a small group of Drifters.]

Levin: It's these two.
Martial Guard Deserter Ares: No, I swear, we're not scouts! We don't ever want to fight you again!
Martial Guard Deserter Ares: Please, let us go! We...we don't want anything to do with the Council anymore...

[Alexia brings her hand to her chin curiously.]

Alexia: And why is that?
Martial Guard Deserter Jack: The battle is over--you've clearly won. So everyone in the Guard is just trying to get away.
Martial Guard Deserter Ares: They say that even Commander Rupert has fled his post.
Clarissa: Rupert...

[Another flashback sequence starts with Iskender Bey being thrown in the air.]

Felius: Melissa!
Clarissa: M-Mom?

[Rupert catches Iskender Bey and grins widely.]

Rupert: I'll take that!
Clarissa: But...you said you were Mom's friend...!
Rupert: Sorry 'bout that, missy. Hate to tell you...
Rupert: But that was a lie.
Clarissa: A lie?
Rupert: It ain't easy to survive in this wilderness if you're not willin' to tell a lie now and then.
Clarissa: A lie...? You...you told a lie and now... Mommy...

[Clarissa gets upset, but Rupert continues smirking.]

Rupert: Come on, don't hate me, missy. Think of it like goin' to school. The tuition wasn't cheap, but you learned a lesson that'll save your ass foing forw--
What the...?

[The screen gradually starts shaking.]

Clarissa: Mom...? Mom...?! Mom...!! Mom, answer me!! Mom...?! Mooooommm...!!

[The shaking intensifies and Rupert completely loses his smirk.]

Rupert: What's goin' on? Is this... You got some kinda magic power of somethin'?!
Rupert: Or is it...

[A cut-in shows Strahl Gewehr glowing a blue light.]

Rupert: That thing in your hand?!
Clarissa: Waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!

[A beam of light shoots across the screen and we see an illustration of a ball of light coming towards Rupert.]

Rupert: It's like a... A thunderbolt, or a monster's howl...! Is this that girl lashing out?!

[The screen turns white, but it seems Rupert dodged the blast.]

Rupert: Damn...that was close! I almost took that full on!
Clarissa: You... You hurt Mom! You hurt Mom!!!
Rupert: Sheesh... Well, I got what I came for, so there's no point stickin' around any longer...
Rupert: Adios, little missy. I'm takin' Iskender Bey. And let's make sure we never cross paths again!

[Rupert scampers off.]

Clarissa: Waaaaaaaahhhh!!!

[A cut-in shows Clarissa aiming Strahl Gewehr up into the sky as it releases a gigantic blast of light. The screen turns white for a moment until Clarissa goves to Melissa's side. An illustration shows her and Felius and both her sides as Melissa holds the dandelion and gazes at it.]

Melissa: Clarissa... What was that...?
Clarissa: I don't know. I don't know, Mom!
Melissa: We can't talk if you're going to be sobbing like this. Settle down, Clarissa...
Clarissa: O...okay, but...
Melissa: That was...the power of Strahl Gewehr...wasn't it? Your lucky charm will protect you...so don't be afraid...
Clarissa: My...lucky charm...?
Clarissa: I don't want it! I don't need a lucky charm! I want you to protect me, Mom!
Melissa: I'm sorry...
Clarissa: Mom!
Felius: Melissa... Please don't talk anymore. Your wounds will worsen...
Clarissa: Mom... Look, it's a flower... You said we'd search for the Yggdrasil System together....
Melissa: I wanted...to make even flowers grow...in the wilderness...
Felius: And if your wounds heal, that dream can still come true! So please...!
Melissa: Felius...take care of...Clarissa, all right? Protect her for me...
Felius: I...I can't protect anyone...
Melissa: But we're a family...right?
Felius: ...
Felius: Yeah. We're a family. And that...that means everything to me.
Melissa: Thank you. That's...good to hear...

[Melissa's eyes close and her hand holding the flower drops down.]

Clarissa: Mom? Mom...?!
Felius: ...

[The screen turns sepia and the flashback ends. Back to Rasalom Keep.]

Martial Guard Deserter Ares: I hear Rupert went to the port at Atraige to catch a ship out of the country...
Clarissa: Are you certain?!
Martial Guard Deserter Jack: I can't be sure, but everyone else has heard the same thing. And certainly none of us have seen Rupert lately...

[Clarissa turns to Felius.]

Clarissa: Felius...
Felius: Whatever you want to do is fine with me.
Clarissa: We...we need to head for the capital. That's more important than pursuing Rupert...
Labyrinthia: Are you sure?

[Clarissa hangs her head.]

Clarissa: ...
Labyrinthia: Isn't reclaiming the sword that Rupert stole the whole reason you and Felius came to Elesius in the first place?
Clarissa: That's true, but...
Labyrinthia: If you're choosing to attack the capital when you'd rather be doing something else, I'd worry that it might adversely affect your performance...
Clarissa: ...
Tony: ...
Clarissa: You think so too, Tony?
Tony: ...
Clarissa: ...

[She looks up.]

Clarissa: Yeah...yeah, that's right. I understand.
Labyrinthia: You have the strength of all of us behind you. So keep charging full speed ahead, Clarissa!
Alexia: If Rupert makes it out of the country, it would be extremely difficult to ever find his trail again. We should finish this now.
Clarissa: Thank you. All of you...
Felius: We can no longer allow Iskender Bey to be used for evil purposes...
Clarissa: Never again shall blood and tears be shed over Mother's sword!

[On the world map, a link between Path of the Unjust and Windhalt Gatehouse is formed to shorten the travel to Port Atraige, which is now marked with a red !.]

-Port Atraige: Pier 8-

Rupert: At this point, I don't even care where it's going. I'm hoppin' on the first ship outta here.
Martial Guard Deserter Ebara: Commander! Wait!

[Two Martial Guardsmen come up behind Rupert.]

Martial Guard Deserter Ebara: Please, take us with you!
Martial Guard Deserter Salman: We don't want to fight a losing war!

[Rupert turns around to look at them.]

Rupert: ...

[A third one joins them.]

Martial Guard Deserter Franny: Don't leave us behind, Commander!

[Rupert snarls.]

Rupert: (The whole idea was to slip away quietly by myself... How could they have found me here...?)

[On the other side of the pier, Clarissa and Chevalet Blanc arrive.]

Clarissa: Rupert! Give me back my mother's sword!
Rupert: Dammit, you guys too?! What the hell is goin' on?!
Labyrinthia: You haven't figured it out yet? The Council sold you out to buy themselves time.
Rupert: Me? They sold ME out?!
Labyrinthia: They probably needed more time to fortify the capital, so they let you go as a decoy. Like a lizard detaching its tail to save itself.
Rupert: I'm the one who's supposed to be usin' people! Do I look like some sorta stupid pawn?!
Labyrinthia: You've seen how Charlton operates. You should have known this was coming.

[Rupert leans back and smirks.]

Rupert: ...
Rupert: Heh... Heh heh heh. You gotta love the irony...
Rupert: Me, of all people, bein' used like that... So this is what it all comes down to, huh...?
Clarissa: Rupert...

[His smirk fades as he reaches for his sword.]

Rupert: If this is the end, then I ain't holdin' nothin' back!
Rupert: No one lives, and no one leaves... I'm gonna gut every last one of you!

=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've finally managed to corner Rupert.
Labyrinthia: If we let someone as despicable as Rupert run free, it'll only lead to more tears and bloodshed later. It's time to put a final end to this sordid tale.
Labyrinthia: Don't get too caught up with his Drifter cronies, or he may try to stage another escape. Let's rush him and finish the job before he can react.
Labyrinthia: Aim for Rupert, and only Rupert. With all of our power focused on the same point, we'll have victory firmly within our grasp!

Martial Guard Deserter Franny: We'll join you on the retreat, Commander! We'll protect your rear!
Rupert: Knock that crap off! I'm done relyin' on you freaks!

[When Rupert is defeated...]

Rupert: Urgh... No...little missy... The fun's just gettin' started!!

[The battle ends. Clarissa shoots at Rupert and he dodges. Felius tries to attack, but has his attack blocked. Rupert makes a run for it and runs towards the docks, but Alexia intercepts him.]

Rupert: Outta my way, real princess!

[He slashes and her and she blocks, clashing blades with him. Her claymore is knocked out of her hands and flies away. Smirking, he charges at her.]

Rupert: Tough break!

[Alexia, thinking quickly, punches him in the face and sends him flying into a pile of crates before he can strike her, forcing him to drop Iskender Bey in the process.]

Rupert: You kidding me, Princess? You come at me bare-handed, and you're as good as dead!
Alexia: I'm my father's daughter, body and soul. I have nothing to fear from a scumbag like you!

[Rupert reaches for his sword.]

Rupert: Your smart mouth can't save you this time! One flick of my wrist, and it's over!

[Alexia grips Iskender Bey and the two charge at each other, striking at lightning speed. Rupert stops after the attack and turns around, wincing, to see Alexia brandishing Iskender Bey as it emits a powerful flow of bright light.]

Rupert: Is this some kinda sick joke...?! After all these years... NOW Iskender Bey comes alive...?!
Alexia: ...

[Rupert clutches his chest.]

Rupert: Why? Why...?!
Alexia: The sword knew what I wanted to use it for... And the sword granted my request.
Rupert: You're tellin' me...the sword can choose...? After I spent...all that time...
Rupert: I can't...die like this...

[Rupert tips back and falls into the water, never to be seen again.]

Clarissa: Alexia!

[Alexia turns around, smiling, and offers Iskender Bey.]

Alexia: Here. This is what you've been chasing for so long, right?

[Clarissa stares for a moment before smiling.]

Clarissa: Yes. But I want you to use it, Alexia.
Alexia: Why?
Felius: Iskender Bey has recognized you as its new owner. So please, take it.
Alexia: ...
Alexia: I don't really understand, but... Are you sure?
Clarissa: I,m sure our mother wanted you to have it. That's why it chose you...

[Alexia, after a moment, accepts and takes Iskender Bey back.]

Alexia: I understand. But it's quite a responsibility.
Clarissa: I know you'll do fine. You'll wield it well, and you'll wield it wisely.
Alexia: Then I swear to honor the past owners with every strike, and to never bring them shame. Enough tears have been shed over this sword already...
Clarissa: ...Thank you...

-Recovered the Iskender Bey!-

-Council Chamber-

Edna: Who'd have thought that vulgar ruffian would prove so useful in the end?
Charlton: The Darkness Tear ritual will be completed momentarily... Chevalet Blanc will be walking into a massacre. The finale is upon us at last.
Katrina: This is the end? I can't wait to see what sort of fear you're about to show me.
Charlton: ...
Edna: The conclusion we have planned should put the entire capital into a state of terror. I'm sure you will be most please with the outcome, Your Highness.

[As Edna smirks, Katrina scowls slightly.]

Katrina: Oh, really...?

[Edna panics.]

Edna: What...what's wrong?

[Katrina smirks.]

Katrina: You're afraid of me, aren't you? I can sense the fear rolling off of you...
Edna: ...
Katrina: Yes... Give me more. I want more fear.
Katrina: Then I, too, might finally understand what it means...

[She clasps her hands together in delight.]

Katrina: I need more... I need everyone to feel sheer terror!

[The screen fades to black and the player is prompted to save.]
