Nightmare Memories/Episode 5 - Storyline

Episode 5

Monster	...
Holy Guard Knight D	That strength...it's no ordinary monster. We have no choice, but to temporarily fall back...
Dias	Get out of my way!
Monster	...
Holy Guard Knight B	With just one blow, he destroyed that monster we were struggling against...
Dias	You came at the perfect time. After you take care of all the bandits, clean this up as well.
Holy Guard Knight C	Did he take out all the bandits on his own? Wait...no, please a moment, Sir Dias!
Dias	Stop following me.
Holy Guard Knight D	As much as it hurts to admit, his ability with the sword is the real thing. Furthermore, his calmness and stability in dealing with that monster...could Sir Dias be a hero for the ages?

Dias	I'm home, Yuffie...sorry I haven't been back in a while. I want to make a more beautiful tomb, not something as simple as this. Just give me a little more time. I must've been getting carried away, having made a new brother and sister. Because of that, I'd forgotten... The world is a hopelessly distorted place tainted with despair. But don't worry. My eyes are finally open. No longer do I dream some naive fantasy. Yuffie, when I come next time, the world will be different. I will create a world of peace where everyone can live happily.
???	Brother!
Dias	?! ...You're the child who was caught by the bandits.
Girl	Um...thank you. This is for you.
Dias	This small, blue flower...is it a begonia? Do you know the language for this flower?
Girl	For this? Um...I think it was "I forgive all."
Dias	Forgive...I see. Thank you. (...It's a flower far removed from my own life. Yuffie, why this flower...?)
Woman Villager	Thank you for saving that child. May god shine down on you, Sir Paladin.
Dias	Stop!
Woman Villager	Sir...?
Dias	Do not pray to god! Prayer will not save anyone. If you have time to be praying, then work towards obtaining the power to change this twisted world. That is the only thing you need to survive.
Woman Villager	O-okay...understood.

Dias	...
Gabirond	Who would've thought you'd come home in two days. You also seem quite refreshed.
Dias	Who knows. So? You obtained some information regarding the Sacred Stones, didn't you?
Gabirond	That can wait. Rejoice, Dias. You have been officially appointed Captain of the 4th Regiment.
Dias	Me, a Captain? Well, that's a rather shallow endeavor you've got going there, Gabirond.
Gabirond	What did you say?
Dias	It's pointless to try to use that title to shackle me down. I realized this during my assault on the bandits. I will move on my own. It's more efficient.
Gabirond	If you become a captain, you will be given command and authority over an entire battalion. It'll become much easier to search for the Sacred Stones.
Dias	That would be one thing if each Paladin equaled in skill to that of Bertrand, but Paladins these days... Does such a knight even exist? The Peacekeepers did nothing more than get in my way. I much prefer the alternative of searching for the Sacred Stones on my own.
Gabirond	Wait, Dias! Do you think I would allow such insubordination?
Dias	Allow? Who is commanding who?
Gabirond	What are you saying? I am the commander of the Corpse.
Dias	I see. Then it's just a matter of switching the head of the Corpse. Gabirond, if you die, the Holy Order will send in a new commander for the Corpse, correct? For me, it doesn't matter who it is. You take advantage of my power. If so, then make sure you're providing me with enough value that equals this. You can either die here and now, or you can let me remain on my own. As commander of the Corpse, the choice is yours.
Gabirond	... ... Just don't shirk your period reports.
Dias	Yeah, I won't.
Gabirond	What's with those eyes? Such emotions as anger, hatred, sadness, impatience, and fear are easy to manipulate. He was supposed to be a tool that easily expressed such emotions. However, he was looking at me the way one would look at the gravel on the side of the road. What is going on? Ack. Something bad may be brewing beneath the surface. Just in case, I'll report to Lord Dario.

Dias	...
Holy Guard Knight B	Please wait, Sir Dias!
Dias	You're from the Peacekeepers... Is there something you want to say to me?
Holy Guard Knight C	Your victory over the bandits was highly impressive. We wanted to apologize for our earlier rude remarks.
Holy Guard Knight D	Moving forward, we of the Holy Guard will follow you without hesitation.
Holy Guard Knight B	It appears that we will be joining your troops.
Holy Guard Knight C	Please, we humbly ask that you let us serve as your troops. Sir Dias...?
Dias	I'll act on my own. There is no longer...any whom I trust to have my back.
Holy Guard Knight D	Sir Dias?! Please wait, Sir Dias!

Dias	(What simplistic animals. However, that is the nature of man. To clamor to the power stronger than your own.) (That is why I must obtain absolute power.) (Only by ruling with absolute power can the world be changed. I will fulfill the promise that I made them.) (Agatha...this time I will follow through. I will protect you.) (Logi...if your naive self were to see me like this, you would look me straight in the eye and try to stop me.) (Yes. You can come at me whenever you want to, but you will never be able to stop me.) (To fix this distorted world...I will gather the Sacred Stones and obtain absolute power!)
