FE12 Story Script Rewrite (Chapter 7: Scarlet Sword.)

Chapter 7: Scarlet Sword.




Opening
(Location: The Fane of Raman)




Having liberated Grust, Marth and his companions accepted Wendell's request

and stopped by the Fane of Raman in search of the missing star shards.

However, the ancient temple built to worship Naga had been wrecked by constant warring,

and was now nothing more than a den of thieves.

"They're escaping with the temple's valuable treasures. We must catch them!"

"Stay clear of the Free Company guarding Chiasmir Bridge. We cannot defeat them."

"It seems a dancer is lost inside the forest. We must find her before the thieves do!"

As the soldiers received their orders,

the flames of a new battle around the Fane of Raman were ignited...









Chapter Begins



Jagen:
Kris. There is something I'd like to ask you.

Kris:
Yes, Sir Jagen?

Jagen:
From your perspective, what kind of person am I?

Kris:
What kind of... person?

Jagen:
I keep wondering about how I should have acted towards Lang... Our homeland, Altea's position is important, but perhaps I brood far too much and offend certain people...

Kris:
There's no need to worry about these things,sir. It shows that you care about all of us. Your concern for Prince Marth is more than evident. You're very strict, but also very kind. You're a true knight of Altea.

Jagen:
Is that so...? Ho ho, if you cheer me on enough, I may even age backwards!

Kris:
Sir Jagen, when you look at me, what kind of person do you see?

Jagen:
Hmm, well... You're very capable as a Royal Guard, you do great work as my assistant, ... [Variable statement here; See next section] That's the kind of person you are.

Kris:
Is that so? What an honor.

Jagen:
Well, we'd best begin the war council. Let us go, Kris.

Kris:
Yes sir!

(Battle Preparations)





(Ready to Fight)




Phina:
Huff... huff... Please... help me... The thieves... They're going to...

Navarre:
...

Phina:
No... It can't be! You're... one of them... as well? Oh, fine... Do your worst! If you're going to kill me, do it fast!

Navarre:
You... Get behind me. The Altean army is marching towards the south of this forest. I'll take you to them.

Phina:
...Huh? You're going to help me...? You mean..., you're not with the thieves?

Navarre:
Until just now, I was. But, I've changed my mind.

Phina:
Why?

Navarre:
There's someone in the Altean army that I want to see. That's all.

Phina:
Hmmm... But really, it's 'cause I'm cute, right? At any rate, I'm glad. My name's Phina. I'm a dancer from Warren. People say that once they see my dancing, they feel instantly refreshed! I can show you, if you like. Oh, I should tell you my story: I got separated from my troupe, and wandered into this forest. And then, those horrible thieves came and tried to take me by force... But it's okay now. You seem kind of scary, but actually you're very kind. However, your appearance is... Your face isn't bad, but your dress sense is kind of lacking. And, ugh, what's with your hair? You know, nowadays...

Navarre:
Enough! Stop talking! Anyway, don't stray too far. We'll cut our way to the west corner, and then escape through there. If you want to live, then shut up and come with me.

Phina:
Ah... Y-yes, sorry...

(Houses)


1# Man:
The ones protecting the bridge are Astram's Free Company: powerful men who stop at nothing. As a wise man once said: "Let sleeping dogs lie", eh?






2# Old Man:
The ancient Fane of Raman is just a treasure trove to thieves. You can see 'em carrying the stolen treasure all over the place. I hope they get what they deserve...






3# Old Man:
I wonder if you've seen that young lady's dance? Marvelous, isn't it? Makes a tired body feel healthy again in the blink of an eye!






4# Lady:
Listen to me. You must never go near that cave. I heard a rumor that in that cave dwells a terrible fire dragon. So please, stay clear!








(After a number of turns)


Soldier:
Captain Astram! We've sighted the Altean army to the south! Shall we attack?

Astram:
Our mission is to hold this bridge. Leaving the bridge will not be permitted. Only attack if the enemy approaches.

Soldier:
Yes sir. But what about the troops in the fort? I hear they will march out soon.

Astram:
They were bought with coin by the Emperor: Let them do as they please. Either way, they won't win. WE will be the ones to stop the Altean army.








(Nearing the Fire Dragon’s hideout)


Jagen:
Sire, please exercise caution! Reports indicate that a fire dragon has emerged from the cave in the west!









(Fighting Astram)


Astram:
Traitors! I'll show you the might of Mercurius!





(Astram dies)


Astram:
Midia... My love...












(Fighting Dahl)


Dahl:
Tryin' to take a cut from a thief's plunderin'... You people ain't even human!





(Defeating Dahl)


Dahl:
Murderers... the lot of you...











Map Clear!!




Jagen:
Sire, we've driven away the thieves, but the temple was completely ransacked; anything that wasn't nailed down is gone. I'm sure even Guardian Deity Naga would be saddened. 'Tis truly the end of civilization...

Marth:
Jagen, do you know the legend of Naga as well?

Jagen:
Yes; only vaguely, however. Kris, do you know of it?

Kris:
I'm afraid not... Sorry.

Jagen:
Unknown among the youth, I see... Then, allow me the honor. “It's said that a thousand years ago... when there was not one king in the lands, people only lived in small villages. One day, terrible monsters descended and the humans were massacred, pushed to the brink of extinction. The few who survived prayed to the gods for salvation. The gods heard their prayers, and a gigantic warrior was sent down to earth. The warrior carried a gleaming blade of light in his right hand, and in his left hand, a shield embedded with five orbs. Then, after a fierce battle, he eradicated the monsters and returned to the heavens. He was our guardian deity, Naga, and this temple is dedicated to him. He was the avatar of the gods”.

Marth:
With the blade of light and the shield of five orbs... That is the legend of Naga.

Jagen:
Well then, sire. We have to cross Chiasmir Bridge soon. And we must hurry. If the enemy takes it, getting across will be nigh impossible.

Marth:
I understand. Inform the whole army: We cross Chiasmir Bridge at once. We haven't a moment to waste!

Kris:
Yes sir!








(Speaking with Wendell)



Kris:
Lord Wendell, we're off to Chiasmir Bridge. I... A-achoo!

Wendell:
Oh dear, are you alright? Have you caught a cold?

Kris:
Perhaps. It's too early to tell.

Wendell:
Don't push yourself too hard, and remember to keep yourself warm. Oh I know, shall I lend you one of the hats that I'm wearing?

Kris:
Huh? Is that okay?

Wendell:
Yes, I have many of these, so there's no need to worry. Well then, would you like to try it on?








(Say Yes)

Kris:
Yes, please, if it's not a bother.

Wendell:
No, no, don't be shy. Here you go. And do remember to watch your health.

Kris:
You're a very kind person, Lord Wendell. I'm glad you're traveling with us. ...Oh yeah, I suppose I should put this on now. Who knows, maybe I'll be a bit more like Lord Wendell!








(Say No)

Kris:
No thank you, but I appreciate the gesture. I'll be just fine.

Wendell:
I understand. But, do remember to watch your health, alright?
