Flashback
Ashera
Lehran... I will not...countenance this
plan.
Lehran
Hear me, Goddess Ashera... Yune's imprisonment within the medallion has
begun to change you. Order and chaos, you
are one being, comprising both parts. The one must naturally affect the
other.
Ashera
Even so, I
will not return Yune to this body. She is unstable, and I must be
perfect in order to protect this world. It is as I have
said, Yune must be destroyed.
Lehran
Ashera,
you mustn't! You cannot survive without your opposite. Please, you must
not do this. Your world still needs
you.
Ashera
Lehran, you have ever been a wise
and kind- hearted child. In deference to you, I will place my faith in
your kind one last
time. For the next thousand years, I
shall sleep as well. When I wake again, I hope it is
to a world of peace and order, where all prosper as equals. If I do,
then I
will know that you have advised me well. I will reward your counsel. I
will also allow Yune to return to me. I will once again be the goddess
of creation, whole and complete. Ashunera, the Dawn
Goddess... The name your ancestors gave me so long ago. I should like
to hear it
again.
Ashera
However, during this thousand
years, if the chaos of war should arise and awaken Yune from her
slumber in the
medallion... I will know that you have
strayed from your path, and I will punish your failure as I would
reward your success. And then
you will know my judgment. You will pay for your sins, each of you to
the
last.
Lehran
In the names of our people, we
vow to keep this covenant. There will be no great war between laguz and
beorc for a thousand
years. So pledge Altina of the beorc,
Dheginsea of the dragon tribes, Soan of the beast tribes, and I,
Lehran, of the bird tribes.
Ashera
If
you believe during this thousand years that you have created a world
that has outgrown the atrocities of war... Or if you
feel the world has fallen beyond hope of redemption, you may sing the
galdr of release and awaken us both. Your heirs will possess that
ability as well...
(Image of Lehran holding the medallion)
Ashera
Sing to awaken us,
and tell us your tale. Tell us of the world your two kinds have built
in our absence. We will listen,
and we will judge fairly and impartially. This is our covenant with you.
(End of flashback)
Ike
It's her...
Yune
Ashera.
Yune
Ashera! It's me...Yune. Can you hear me?
Ashera
...
Yune
Please! Please listen to me! You don't need to pass any more judgment!
You can return the people to normal!
Ashera
I cannot. There are still people in my world who are made of fallible
flesh. This imperfect world has passed beyond control. Now, I shall
pass my final judgment.
Yune
Wait! You can't violate the terms of the covenant, Ashera! One thousand
years still hasn't
passed. We were woken by galdr, not by mankind's war.
Ashera
It doesn't matter.
(Image of warring Beorc and Laguz)
Ashera
During my long sleep, beorc and laguz continued to fight. The children
of flesh will never learn nor grow. Time will pass as always, but
nothing can change the destiny of mankind.
(Image returns to normal)
Yune
You have to look deeper! The first judgment didn't turn everyone to
stone, and I'll tell you why. Because these people are not "people" as
we know them. Ashera, these people have become something new!
(Image of Ashunera and the Zunanma)
Yune
People--the
Zunanma--are the only living creatures of this world that we didn't
create. Animals evolved to become Zunanma, who then became laguz and
beorc. That evolution continues today!
(Image returns to normal)
Yune
Ashera... I'll tell you a secret you didn't know. Children can be born
of both a beorc and laguz parent. They are still very few in number,
but if allowed to flourish, mankind might become anything! If the two
races continue to evolve,
I'm sure something wonderful will emerge! You can't just bring that to
a halt.
Ashera
Do not claim certainty of anything. The children of this world are born
of chaos, and nothing could be more uncertain. The world does not
require the
evolution of man. My responsibility is to protect order, the balance of
all life-forms. Beings that evolve without my
guidance will only destabilize and threaten this world. Because of
that--
Yune
You have to wipe out everything made of flesh? Is that what you're
trying to say? ...Very well then. You and I have nothing more to talk
about. My only choice is to defeat you.
Ashera
Yune, do not be absurd... You cannot overthrow me, just as I cannot
overthrow you.
Yune
Of course not. But they can. Everyone! The time has come! Defeat
Ashera, or everyone
you love will be a statue forever!
Ashera
These people, they carry your blessing, Yune... You mean to fight me?
Ike
Ashera, our goddess... This is the world--and we are the people--you
created. You make it sound as if we're some sort of filthy creatures
that just decided to settle down here and cause trouble.
Yune
Ike! Don't say it like that.
(Image of the warring Beorc and Laguz)
Ike
We're not perfect. Sometimes our brains tell us one thing, while our
emotions tell us another. And war... The more we try to avoid it, the
worse it is when it comes to us.
(Image returns to normal)
Yune
People are probably
the dumbest creatures alive. But... Somehow you're also the most
endearing. It's your imperfections that make you so interesting...
Imperfections very similar to ours.
Ike
We know that we've messed up. We'll do our best to avoid more war and
to make peace our highest priority. Ashera, just give us one more
chance. All we ask is for one more chance.
Ashera
You expect me to reverse my judgment? The goddess of order cannot be
so... mercurial. My decision is final.
Ike
So that's how it's going to be,
huh? Then we will fight...and we will save our people. Make your peace
with whatever the gods worship. Your end is near.
Ashera
My end is near?
Ike
In every battle that mattered in my life, I've always been the one left
standing, no matter how slim my chances. This battle means more than
any of the others, because it's for the life of every person that I've
ever cared about. I will win this fight.
Battle begins
Yune
Everyone, listen carefully. In
order to reach Ashera, we must first destroy the aura protecting her.
Got it? Attack the
aura.
(When Ashera's Aura has been destroyed)
Yune
The aura is
gone.
Ike
Excellent. Now we can finish this.
Ashera
...
(When somebody other than Ike defeats Ashera)
Ike
...
Micaiah
It's over. It's
all over... We did it. Our fighting is finally done. Now the people...
Ike
Now the people should all turn back to normal.
Micaiah
Yes!
Ike
Let's get out of here. I'm sure the others are getting tired of waiting
outside.
Yune
Wait!
Ike
Huh?!
(Ashera revives herself)
Ike
What... What's going on? This is insane! We defeated
her...
Ashera
You defeated nothing. This is nothing at all out of the ordinary.
Mortals cannot defeat the divine. It is not possible.
Micaiah
But... We won... General Ike... We
have to fight one more time! The people out there need our help!
Ashera
You can try as many times as you like. The result will always be the
same. There is no way for you to win.
Micaiah
I can't believe that! General Ike, you can do it! Forge a new destiny
for us! Ike, please... You've got to!
Ike
I don't need encouragement. I'd fight to the end no matter what.
Ashera, you can't stop me. It doesn't matter if you're a goddess. It
doesn't matter if I have no way to win. Fighting defines me, and I will
not lose.
Ashera
When will you tiresome gnats surrender?
(When Ike defeats Ashera)
(Movie Final Strike plays,
followed by Gods' End and
then Life
Returns)
