Part 4 Final Chapter: Rebirth (5)
Flashback
[Note: This scene is slightly different in the English version]
Ashera
I will not...countenance this
plan.
Lehran
Hear me, Goddess Ashera... Yune's imprisonment within the medallion has
begun to change you. When part of you slumbers, the other part will
soon follow it to slumber... You
are one being, comprising both parts.
Ashera
Even so, I
will not return Yune to this body. It is as I have
said, Yune must be destroyed.
Lehran
Ashera,
you mustn't! You might not 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.
Lehran
Then, would you agree to free Goddess Yune from her containment?
Ashera
That is not what I meant. 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 one tribe bathes in glory while the other suffers oppression,
or if the chaos of war never ceases... 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. Both tribes will be erased from this world.
Lehran
My Goddess...
Ashera
Laguz and Beorc must not fight. The chaos of war will disturb Yune from
her sleep. You
must not allow her to fully awaken.
(Image of Lehran holding the medallion)
Ashera
When Yune awakens, so will I. If I
awaken before the thousand years are up, I will know that you have gone
down the wrong path, and you
will pay for your sins with your lives.
Lehran
Goddess Ashera, Yune is sleeping thanks to the galldrar I sang to her.
I can sing the galldr of release to awaken both of you. If I did that...
Ashera
I know. You sang the galldrar to save Yune... and since you, of the
Heron tribe, are an avatar of order, you are able to control Yune's
emotions within the medallion. If you are in need of us during these
thousand years... you may sing the
galdr of release and awaken us both. 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.
(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 destroy mankind, Ashera! One thousand
years still hasn't
passed. We were woken by galdr, not by mankind's war. Mankind still has
a chance, so please don't judge them...
Ashera
It doesn't matter.
Yune
It... 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
How could you say that? Who can pass judgement on what hasn't yet
happened? The first judgment didn't turn everyone to
stone, and I'll tell you why. Because these people have changed. They
are not "people" as
we know them.
(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. Some of these children are born with
a brand. These special children look like beorc, but
they're not the same. They have longer lifespans and lots of special
abilities like the laguz. They are still very few in number,
but if allowed to flourish, with passing time, mankind might become
anything! If the two
races, beorc and laguz, continue to evolve,
I'm sure something wonderful will emerge! I want to see what mankind
becomes. 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. You refuse certainty and
welcome change. The world does not
require the
evolution of man. The process of evolution requires countless
sacrifices. My responsibility is to protect order, the balance of
all life-forms. Man has no place in my world. 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. Ashera, it
doesn't matter how you want to balance this world or how you want to
preserve order... We will always fight among ourselves and cause
trouble for you. I bet you're really angry with us.
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
But, even the dumbest creatures will love their family, their friends
and... even love others. They will all have things that they can't
afford to lose.
Yune
...
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? What right do you have to make
such a request? 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? Don't be absurd. It matters not how man has
changed. Nor does it matter that Yune has blessed you with her great
power.
After all, you are facing the creator of all living beings. Your lives
were created by me, and you expect to defeat me? It's simply not
possible.
Ike
In every battle that mattered in my life, I've always been the one left
standing, no matter how slim my chances. I've taken many lives in my
battles. 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
What... We didn't... even leave a scratch on her... How could this be?
Ashera
You have no other options available to you. Accept your judgement.
There is no way for you to win.
Micaiah
No, there must be a way.
Ashera
Even if there were. How do you intend to defeat me?
Ike
I suppose I don't really know, but 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)
Gods' End
[Note: This movie is slightly different in the English version, so I'll
translate this as well]
Ike
Are you going to disappear as well?
Yune
Yes, but it's probably for the best. Absolute beings like us only serve
to distract mankind and restrict their evolution. So, I... I'm
already...
Ike
It wasn't so bad before.
Yune
Huh?
Ike
You were like a mother to all of life-- Your children still require a
mother like
you. When you watch over us, we don't always do things that make you
happy and sometimes we even disappoint you. Still, I think we would
like you to continue
watching over us. How about it?
Yune
But it would be difficult... Could we really coexist? Does it not
bother you that I'm
an imperfect being?
Ike
You forgave all the mistakes that we made, so how could we not forgive
you.
Yune
Ah...
Ike
We all need to work hard to accept each other. As long as we don't try
and run away from our mistakes, then I'm sure we'll be able to see each
other again one day.
Yune
Yes... One day... We'll be together again...
