Sacred Stone Memories Chapter 11/Quest 14 - Storyline

Assembled Warriors

Sol	!
Kanon	Nngh... Th-the town...?
Kudanstein	U-urgh... K-Kagura... Kagura!
Sol	I see. You unleashed your phoenix to envelope and suppress the blast to minimize the damage. Clever trick, Redhead.
Kagura	Gnngh...
Bud	Hey... You okay?
Kagura	Haaa... I don't need your little comments. There's no way you can be allowed to do as you please!
Sol	Oh, really? What a bold proclamation. Who is going to stop me? You?
Kudanstein	Nngh... Don't underestimate us. This fight...has only just begun!
Kanon	Urk... We will stop you!
Kagura	I won't allow your attacks to destroy our determination to bring you down!
Bud	Same here!
Kanon Kudanstein	Huzzzaahhh!!!
Sol	Dear me. I certainly hadn't intended to offend. You understand me, don't you?
Acht	Of course.
Neun	Tsk. You're always stealing my thunder. That was my line!
Kudanstein	Wh-what?! Grk!
Kanon	Gah!
Kagura	T-Templars?!
Bud	...
Acht	Unfortunately for you, I will never let you lay a single finger on Sol.
Neun	Seriously, I got here first! How dare you try to hog the spotlight! They're my prey!
Sol	Well, well, well. It looks like you'll be busy without me. Such a shame.
Bud	Y-you... Don't get cocky just because a couple of your friends showed up! The flames of our justice will not be dampened by such an obstacle!
Sol	Really? It seems your comrades feel differently.
Bud	Huh?
Kagura	Sol a-and those two...?!
Kudanstein	Tch!
Kanon	No... Wh-what should we do?
Bud	H-hey! Don't let me down like this now!
Sol	They, unlike you, understand how outmatched you all are. You cannot win.
Bud	Hey! Hey!!! This is no time to panic! There're only two more people to defeat than before!
Kagura	Shut up for a second, would you?! Kanon...
Kanon	Yes, I know. We can't defeat them in a straight fight. If they all come at us at once...
Sol	That's quite the idea.
Kanon	Oh no!
Sol	Neun, Acht, don't we owe them a farewell gift? I think fulfilling this last..."request" of theirs would fit the bill perfectly.
Acht	Understood.
Neun	...
Kanon	Oh no! Get ready, everyone!
Neun	Pitiful creatures, it's too late! The outcome of this battle was determined the moment we stepped foot on—!
???	Huzzzaahhh!!!
Neun	What the—?!
Victor	!
Neun	Grrr... You...
Victor	Ha! I'm not going to let you get away! Let's fight! Yeah!
Chloe	Victor! I told you not to get ahead of yourself and run off like that! Why don't you ever listen?
Kanon	Chloe?! How...? Why...?
Basheeny	We rushed over here as soon as we subdued the Greed Dike soldiers in Envylia.
Kanon	Basheeny!
Basheeny	Knights from Lustburg and Gluttony Foss should be on their way here as well. If we can hold out until they arrive, we should have a chance to pull through to victory.
Vettel	...
Scarlet Flame Knights	...
Vettel	Lord Commander! I apologize for the breach in protocol. Allow me to formerly request permission for the Scarlet Flame Guard of Envylia to join this battle at your side.
Kanon	Captain Vettel! We would be honored to have you and your knights aid us in battle!
Vettel	Victor, I hope you have learned from this. We are a knight order that has come to represent our country. There are certain formalities that must be observed before we just charge in with our swords swinging.
Victor	Yes, Captain Vettel...
Vettel	This is our chance to get revenge for Captain Monzein! Let's show him what we can do!
Sol	Acht?
Acht	Understood.
???	We won't let you take a single step toward any of them!
Acht	What—?!
Miuna	!
Acht	Nnrk!
Kazahaya Spica	...
Miuna	You thought you could just forget about us, did you? We already warned you! If you want to get at them, you'll have to get past us!
Kanon	Miuna!
Miuna	Sorry about that, Kanon. I didn't mean to let her get away. I'll take her down here instead!
Chloe	Thank you, Spica! You must have had a hard time holding her back!
Spica	Chloe...
Kazahaya	Lord Commander Kanon, reinforcements are coming from the other countries.
Kanon	Yes, I heard that from Basheeny. Thank you, Kazahaya. Hey. You heard that, right? Once all of our forces have combined, you won't have any chance of winning! You should give up now, while you still can!
Victor	Yeah! We've got all these amazing, famous fighters here! You're going down!
Sol	How wonderful. I didn't realize that such illustrious heroes had come to participate in our little tete-a-tete.
Victor	What the heck, man? You've been fighting them without even realizing how awesome they are? I can give you a quick summary of everyone if you like—
Chloe	Victor.
Acht	Sol...
Sol	Yes, Acht. You're right. They're all here...which means that if we kill everyone here, this country will crumble in their wake.
Victor	Wh-what?!
Chloe Vettel	...
Kazahaya Spica Miuna	...
Kudanstein Basheeny Kanon	...
Basheeny	Lord Commander Kanon, please be careful! That man...
Kanon	I know. Don't worry, Basheeny. I have a plan. I will stop him.
Sol	Acht. Neun.
Acht	Yes.
Neun	What's up?
Sol	Let's show these interlopers that they are outclassed, no matter how many people they try to throw at us!
Acht	Understood.
Neun	Heheh... This is going to be fun!
Sol	This battle will be the anchor for the future we have been striving for! We shall wage our own holy war against the skies that have weighed so heavily upon us and crush the world that has tried to grind us into the ground!
Kagura	They've started their charge!
Miuna	We will stop you! Come on, Spica!
Spica	Got it!
Acht	Fools...
Miuna	...
Spica	...
Acht	Shouldn't you have figured it out already? This type of fighting is my specialty. Crumbling Armor Hand!!!
Spica	...
Miuna	Spica, watch out!
???	Nice try.
Acht	What—?!
Chloe	!
Acht	Nghh...!
Chloe	I don't wish to interfere, but this is a dangerous enemy. I believe that we would all be better off working together.
Acht	Hmph. I have no objection to that.
Chloe	Huh?
Acht	Solid Destruction Axe!!!
Chloe	Urgh...!
Spica	Nngh...!
Miuna	Agh...!
Acht	One, two, or three... No matter how many of you there are, you will never defeat me.
Chloe	Nngh... Even three of us is not enough?! It can't be!
Basheeny	Urgh!
Bud	...
Victor	Oh man, oh man... This guy's strength is unbelievable!
Neun	...
Bud	All of us combined still can't stop him?!
Neun	Get out of my way, worthless grunts! No one less than a Captain can even hope to stand against me!
???	Then, why don't you try your hand against me?
Neun	Huh? Who're you?
Vettel	If three challengers are not enough, perhaps four will suit you better. If you don't mind, of course.
Neun	...
Vettel	Wha—?!
Neun	I probably should have been a little more exact with my words.
Basheeny	Urgh...!
Victor	Hrgh...
Bud	Agh!
Vettel	Nngh.
Neun	I meant that anyone less than a Captain of the Holy Guard cannot hope to stand against me!
Basheeny	Is there no limit to his power?!
Vettel	Nngh... Y-you... Don't you underestimate the Scarlet Flame Guard!
Later...
Sol	!
Kanon	Urk!
Sol	Well, well. What happened to your absolute justice? I seem to recall you saying something about stopping me...or have you given up already?
Kanon	Agh...
Sol	Bring as many people as you want. I will show all of them that fate itself has chosen me to lead the way into the future! You and your little armies are nothing more than specks among the dust of history. You are all just remnants of an obsolete world! I will destroy you here and the whole world will recognize its rightful leader!
Kudanstein	I may not know much, but I know that whoever that may be...isn't you. After all, were you not saying that you will send us all into the next world within three minutes? People are not fools enough to believe in someone who is all talk!
Sol	...
Kudanstein	Wha—?!
Sol	Please. Did you think I wouldn't notice you gearing up to try to take me down? You too, Redhead.
Kagura	Wh-what?!
Sol	Plasma Burst!!!
Kanon	Urk...!
Kudanstein	Nngh...!
Kagura	Hrgh...!
Sol	Sorry if I led you to think I'm all talk. Let me follow through with my promise to you.
Kudanstein	A-Argh! Y-you... Even my powers of darkness cannot damage him?!
Kagura	Th-that's ridiculous... How can he be so untouchable?!

Sol	This is the end for you. Neun, Acht... The time is upon us. Wipe them all from this earth!

Neun	What? Wait, but I haven't had my fun yet! There's just nothing like the satisfaction of crushing my opponent with my own hands.
Sol	Is it not enough for you that I recognize you as the strongest of them all? If you dally around here, you might miss the moment that the legendary power returns to this world.
Neun	Tch. Well, I guess there's nothing for it.
Acht	However, would it not be wise to conserve our strength here?
Sol	It's fine. Orion is only one man. Rather than strength, it is time that is of the essence.
Acht	I see.

Sol	...


Bud	Wh-what is that black light?
Basheeny	It's him... Above his head, a ball of black light is...?
Victor	...
Spica	He's amassing some kind of energy. What an ominous light!
Chloe	Just looking at it sends shivers down my spine. What would it do if it actually touched the ground?!
Miuna	...
Kanon	Kazahaya! We must tell everyone in Northern Pride to evacuate immediately!

Sol	That would be a pointless endeavor. The shockwaves of my Cursed Sun will reach all who reside in this country. In a few moments, this country will be wiped from the face of the planet.
Kanon	No!

Sol	Don't worry. Death will come gently. Everyone will have time to reflect thoroughly on their lives until this point.

Sol	...
Kanon	W-wait!
Sol	Transform into scorched earth, Northern Pride!


Victor	H-he unleashed it?! Is this the end?!
Kanon	Urk! Huzzahhhhhhhhhh!!!
Kudanstein	Huzzahhhhhhhhhh!!!
Kagura	Kanon! Kudan!
Neun	Now, where do you think you're going?
Kanon	...
Acht	...
Kudanstein	Grk... Get out of my way!
Acht	I will not allow you to interfere.
Kanon	Let go of me! Let go! No!
Neun	...

Sol	Finally... Finally, this limitless blue sky is ours for the taking! A new age is upon us!

Vettel	No! Have we truly run out of options to stop this?!
Basheeny	N-no... Is this really how it must end?
Bud Victor	...
Kanon	It can't be... We have lost and learned so much... Struggled until we had the strength to face our enemy... Could it all have been for naught? Is this really to end with our inability to fulfill the hopes and dreams of all of those who came together to save Babel? Nothing has changed! Nothing has been resolved! This can't be the end for us! Please, Excalibur!!!
Victor	Whoa! What's that light?! Is that...the light at the end of the tunnel? Am I dead?
Chloe	No, that light... It's Kanon.

Sol	That sword! It's...!

Kagura	Excalibur is...glowing?
Yauras	How unlike you, Kanon. You were really never the type to pray for your life.
Kanon	Huh?
???	Twin Fang God Wolf!!!
Kanon	That's—?!

Sol	What...? Tch!
???	Wow. Rude. I went through all the trouble of getting myself here, just so I could have the last laugh. Don't ruin this for me.

???	Ill Atmosphere!!!

Sol	Nngh?!

Othima	Hey, Kanon! You look well. Healthy. How's the battle going? I didn't mean to just drop in like this, but I kinda have to return the favor to this guy here. Even in my eternal rest, I couldn't rest in peace. Literally.
Kanon	C-Captain Othima?
Seida	Captain Othima, I must apologize. You have given me an opening which I shall now take advantage of.
Kudanstein	You...

Sol	Agh!!!

Sol	...
Seida	I promise you, this is just the beginning. We still have quite a lot to repay you for.
Kanon	Seida?!
Sol	Urk?! Grr... Wh-what is this? Restless spirits come to settle their regrets? Ha... Don't make me laugh. You can rise from the dead as many times as you want to fight me. The outcome will always be the same!
Seida	...
Othima	Hey, now. I dunno if you really want to waste your time yelling at us.
Sol	You dare—?
Othima	Dare what? I'm just saying, we're not the ones who are most upset about this whole thing.
Yauras	Hey... I don't know if I appreciate the way you have phrased that. I am no sore loser. I personally feel that such pettiness is beneath me.
Sol	Y-you?!
Kanon	Captain Yauras?!
Yauras	In fact, I would like to clarify that my good manners simply will not let me disappear without making sure I make myself clear. To that end... I swear to you that I will make you pay a thousand times over! Eternal Rose!!!
Sol	Aghh...!
