Chapter 6: The Escape

Opening cutscene

August:
"This way, Lord Leaf."

Leaf:
"Bishop August!? What are you doing here?"

August:
"I was making plans to rescue you, but apparently there is no need for that now. ...You look upset, but I am glad to see you are safe."

Leaf:
"August... I've never hated the Empire as much as I do now. They killed my parents, and they even took away the one person who I could call my mother. I hate the Empire...and I hate that Reidric, who follows its commands to do evil. Tell me, August. How can I fight against them? I would do anything to get her back. Please tell me, August!"

August:
"Eyvel has been turned to stone? If that is the case, I am afraid there is nothing we can do."

Leaf:
"! ...What do you mean? Is there no way to bring her back!?"

August:
"A certain staff called the Kia can revive petrification. However, Manfroy, the Lopto Archbishop, has sealed that staff, and it can only be used by those of his heritage."

Leaf:
"What? No..."

August:
"I have heard rumors of a secret Lopto temple in the underground of the Yied desert. They say that the statues of various warriors are kept there. I have even heard that the statues include the captives of the war in Barhara from a decade ago. I am sure that Eyvel's statue will be taken there as well."

Leaf:
"That... That's impossible!"

August:
"I understand your anger, but those 'impossible' things that you speak of are currently happening, Lord Leaf. Already, thousands...no, tens of thousands of children have been kidnapped from this land of Thracia and taken to the Imperial Capitol of Barhara. Areas like Manster and Lenster have been hit particularly hard because of the strong Lopto influence on them... Children are seldom seen there any more."

Leaf:
"Are the parents just sitting there watching? Why won't they stand up and fight!?"

August:
"Of course they are putting up some resistance, but they are still ordinary citizens. They are no match for the Imperial Army or the Lopto Church. If they are not killed on the spot, they are taken away to concentration areas where they are mass-executed. Lopto's mage army, the Schwarze Rosen, is especially cruel. If one villager tries to oppose them, the entire population is burned alive. It is almost a reiteration of the Dark Ages... People have lost their will to resist and have become slaves for those in power."

Leaf:
"How...cruel."

August:
"Yes. Northern Thracia used to be a land of blue skies and rich greenery, but now it is covered in an endless cloud of darkness. Lord Leaf, I understand your concern for Eyvel, but you have more important deeds to attend do. What the people of Northern Thracia truly need is a hero who can unite them into an army to stand up and fight. And you are the perfect example, Lord Leaf. Being the son of the tragic heroes Cuan and Ethlin, you automatically have the right to unite the people. Do you understand? If you stand up, the rebel forces of Northern Thracia will come together to form a single force that will have the power and ability to drive out the Empire and the Lopto Church."

Leaf:
"...I haven't given up saving Eyvel, but I understand what you're saying. If you want me to lead the liberation of Northern Thracia, then I'll do it. Rebuilding Lenster and leading its army to defeat the Empire... That was a dream Finn and I have been talking about for years! August, if you would support me as an advisor, I have nothing to fear! All right, what should we do now?"

August:
"Yes... I wanted to hear that resolve from you. For now, we must escape."

Leaf:
"There are soldiers everywhere coming after us. Is there a safe way out?"

August:
"I suggest using the side gate in the east. The problem will be getting through the castle undertown. If a guard sees us, he will call for reinforcements, making our escape that much more difficult."

Leaf:
"So we have to go unnoticed by the guards... That will be tough."

(The following part happens only if Karin is alive)

Karin:
"You don't want to go through the city, right? Then I'll carry you one at a time on Hermes. We can fly over the castle walls, so no one will notice us."

Leaf:
"All right, then we won't have to fight. But will you be all right?"

Karin:
"Hermes is saying he'll do his best. Pegasi usually only allow women to ride them, but he says he'll bear with us for now. Good boy."

August:
"...I suppose we can rely on her for our escape. Now, the question is getting through the castle town..."

Stopping at the southern gate of the town

Man:
"Hey, you all right? I've heard the news. You'd better esacpe while you still can."

(If you didn't go to Ch 4 Gaiden)

Man:
"If we wait just a little longer, Master Sety should arrive to help us... That should make things easier."

3rd Turn

Galzus:
"Sorry, Bishop, I'm afraid I gave you an extra burden."

Cyas:
"Galzus, was it? Were you not hired by Lord Reidric? Why did you save this girl? Do you know her?"

Galzus:
"No... That's not the case."

Cyas:
"...I see. It is a rather large burden for one traveling alone, but I shall take care of her nonetheless. Farewell, Galzus!"

(Cyas and Mareeta leave the map)

Galzus:
"I never thought I'd see you again..."

5th Turn (Only if you didn't go to Ch 4 Gaiden)

Sety:
"Good, it looks like Lord Leaf is still safe."

Magi group person:
"Yes, we made it in time."

Sety:
"All right, we're going to buy time for him to escape. I'm sorry to put you in danger, but I can't let him die."

Magi group person:
"We understand, Master Sety."

9th Turn (Only if you didn't go to Ch 4 Gaiden)

Sety:
"...Everyone, retreat! We have to leave before the enemy's main forces arrive. Hurry!"

15th Turn

Reidric:
"Ah, Galzus! You're late."

Galzus:
"Do you need something?"

Reidric:
"Can't you see? One of our prisoners escaped. It's a powerful one, and we need your help."

Galzus:
"Hmph... Pathetic."

(If you let Cliff escape in Ch 4 Gaiden)

Old man:
"Ah, you're the ones who saved my grandson, Cliff. You're fighting alongside our savior, Sety, eh? Here, take this Rapier as a sign of my gratitude."

(If you didn't let Cliff escape)

Old man:
"Cliff will never return... It's no use expecting anything from you, who aren't even Holy Warriors. We can only hope for light from the east..."

House (Top left)

(If you let Boy escape in Ch 4 Gaiden)

Woman:
"The Magi group let Boy, my little brother, escape to a safe village. Thank you so much. Please take this magical book as a sign of my gratitude. I hear it has special powers, so I hope it will be of some use to you..."

(If you didn't let Boy escape)

Woman:
"...I have given up hope for Boy. No...it's not your fault..."

House (Bottom left)

(If you let Leena escape Ch 4 Gaiden)

Man:
"Hey, it's you guys! Thanks for rescuing my younger sister, Leena! Here, I'll give this. I found it in my backyard the other day. It looks like a page torn out of a book or something. I hope it'll be of some use to you!"

(If you didn't let Leena escape)

Man:
"Ha, you call yourself the Liberation Army, huh? Well, my little sister's still captured! Don't go around acting like a hero when you can't do shit!"

House (Bottom center)

(If you let Emily escape in Ch 4 Gaiden)

Woman:
"Are you the ones who saved my daughter, Emily? How can I ever thank you? Oh, here, take this. It's a Knight's Crest, a family treasure."

(If you didn't let Emily escape)

Woman:
"Oh, Emily... Where have you gone...?"

House (Top center)

(If you let Maphy escape in Ch 4 Gaiden)

Hicks:
"Hey, I was waiting for you guys. I heard you saved Maphy, my son. Thanks to you, I was able to hide him in safe place, along with the other children. I'm Hicks, an Axe Knight of Manster. I was thinking it was about time to teach that Reidric a lesson. I'll fight alongside you."

(If you didn't let Maphy escape)

Hicks:
"Get out of my house! You call yourself the Liberation Army, when you can't even save one kid? You people sicken me!"

House (bottom right)

(If you let Bella escape in Ch 4 Gaiden)

Woman:
"I heard you saved my little sister, Bella. We're poor, so we can't give you anything much, but please take this Holy Water as a symbol of my gratitude."

(If you didn't let Bella escape)

Woman:
"Bella...she's gone forever... And I know you people can't do anything..."

Leaf leaves the map

Soldier:
"Lord Reidric, Prince Leaf has escaped the castle."

Reidric:
"You fool, what were you doing! You can't even capture one measly little rat!?"

Soldier:
"W-We're sorry, sir!"

Reidric:
"Command General Eisenhow to lead his troops and pursue him immediately! It will be a pain if Leaf escapes into Thracian land."

Soldier:
"Yes, sir."

Reidric:
"By the way, what happened to that Mareeta girl? I haven't seen her..."

Soldier:
"Well, I was going to tell you, but... The guards were ambushed, and she was taken..."

Reidric:
"You are all so useless! Do you not have any idea at all who did it!?"

Soldier:
"Whoever did was clearly a very skilled individual. Some people say that they saw that mercenary, Galzus, near the scene... Are you sure he can be trusted, my lord?"

Reidric:
"Hm... Galzus..."

Soldier:
"Some claim that they saw the markings of Ordo on his back. If that's true, it means he is of the royal family of Isaac..."

Reidric:
"Hmph, I am not so foolish as to hire a mercenary of unknown origins. Yes, he is part of the Isaac family. He is the prince of the now demolished Kingdom of Libo. He is in fact the cousin of Prince Shanan of Isaac."

Soldier:
"Isn't Prince Shanan one of the leaders of the rebel forces against the Empire? Is it safe to hire one of his relatives into our service?"

Reidric:
"Do you not know anything? The Kingdom of Libo, Galzus' country, was invaded and destroyed by Isaac's forces, led by Shanan's grandfather. Galzus was put through many hardships since he was a youth because of that. Do you really think he would help Shanan?"

Soldier:
"Ah, I see..."

Reidric:
"I can see why he let that girl escape... I saw the same markings on her back as well... Hahaha..."

Soldier:
"What?"

Reidric:
"No, it is nothing. Anyway, don't worry about Galzus. That girl is of no use to us any more. However, we can't afford to lose Galzus, so don't do anything to him."

Fighting Galzus

Galzus:
"Curse your fate for bringing you before me..."

Defeating Galzus

Galzus:
"Ha... So now...I meet...a powerful foe..."
