Last Bastion Opening Slayde Returns

The Last Bastion Script Part 1

Opening Event Script

Massena- Hold there, soldier.
Fernand- I'm afraid I can spare you no time, sir, my liege has requested of me right away-
Massena- That won't be necessary. Lord Berkut is no longer leading the force at the last bastion. You're being reassigned under her new captain.
Fernand- New captain? Who on earth could possibly stand to rival Lord Berkut with military achievement and merit?
Slayde- Oh, only a true knight, not unlike yourself. It's been a while, Fernand.
Fernand- ! You!
Slayde- Ohohoho, how I've waited for this day for so long. How long has it been? Me, you, and old Clive used to be like three peas in a pod, so we did. Too bad Sir Clive didn't happen to see our ambitions for what they were, eh old friend?
Fernand- Shut your damned mouth, cur! What would you know of being a true knight?! You are nothing but a leech who latches on to anyone who will spare you even a passing glance! How dare you put yourself on a pedestal as if you have anything above Sir Clive!
Slayde- A leech, you say? And where does someone like you stand if you are to be marching below a "leech?"
Fernand- I will not be party to this. I serve one man and one man alone. Lord Berkut has shared my ideals and given purpose to what was otherwise a forfeit life. I've no place in the ranks of Rigel's banner. Now if you'd excuse me, I have to return to my lord's side at once.
Slayde- Now wait right there, Fernand: you may be treated with the honor and respect of a Rigelian soldier, but we've no obligations to keep you in such an... esteemed way. Despite what you believe, Desaix handed you over as a ward of Rigel. If you disobey orders, well... Let's just say that pretty little head of yours would be stuck on a pike. Speaking of pikes, is that not how the commoners of your land did your dear old family in? It'd be such an ironic shame to see you meet the same fate, my dear Fernand...
Fernand- Gh! You... You bastard!
Massena- That's quite enough you two. Fernand, your orders are clear. You are to march with Slayde, or you may be struck down here and now.
Fernand- Fine. Massena, may I make one request?
Massena- Speak.
Fernand- Once the battle is done, may I return to my liege's side?
Massena- I suppose.
Slayde- That's enough talk, worm. Now crawl before me.
Fernand- Rrgh...
