Light (part 1)/Script (Eliwood)

Opening

Eliwood: ...Nergal should be back there. Should we wait for Lord Athos?

(Athos teleports to the group)

Athos: If you're looking for me, I'm right here.
Eliwood: Lord Athos!
Hector: You're late, Graybeard!
Lyn: ...Well? Were you successful?
Athos: I was. Use this magic tome.^[sic]
Eliwood: What is it?
Athos: A legendary item, Aureola. The strongest light magic, wielded by Saint Elimine herself. With this, we should be able to rend Nergal's dark cloak and do him much harm. And these, too, have been infused with magic that makes them more effective against Nergal. Durandal for Eliwood. And for Hector, Armads.
Eliwood: It's... I can feel it already... Its power is beyond words.
Hector: Incredible! With this, I know I cannot fail.
Athos: ...And Lyndis, this is for you.
Lyn: Hm? What blade is this?
Athos: A spirit-inhabited sword, the partner of the Mani Katti. This is the Sol Katti. It's not a legendary item, but its blade contains much power.
Lyn: Thank you!
Athos: Nils, is Nergal back there?
Nils: Unn... I sense tremendous power. ...What could it be? I feel something really odd.
Athos: He should have lost most of his henchmen in that last battle. But... Mm. I read energy, too...if only a little. Nils is right. The sense of it is different than before. Brace yourselves. He is...formidable!
Eliwood: We understand. Let's go, everyone!

If Mark is present

Eliwood: Mark, this is it. The last battle. Lord Athos spoke the truth about Nergal... Average men cannot hope to stand against him. Ordinary weapons hold no power against him. Those who go with us... They must be chosen carefully.

Augury

Nils: This... This must surely be your final battle. As Lord Athos said, our destiny hangs in the balance of this final confrontation. You don't need an augury. Nergal is...strong. You and your companions must match him, strength for strength. There are...others. You must defeat them all before you can confront Nergal. ...Mark, everything now comes down to your strategy. Please...lead us......to victory!

In battle

Player phase of turn 1

Merlinus: Lord Eliwood... Lord Hector...
Eliwood: Merlinus... Thank you for everything.
Hector: You're made of sterner stuff than I'd imagined. Thought you'd've fled by now.
Merlinus: ...Sniff sniff... I thought as much. You're not taking me with you...... ...Sniff ooh...
Hector: That's disgusting. Cry if you must, but do something about that runny nose. What are we supposed to do? You can't fight, so we can't afford to take you with us.
Eliwood: Take this and return to Fargus's ship.
Merlinus: ...Wh-What is this, may I ask?
Hector: A letter of introduction. Take this to Ostia, and you'll be able to do good business there. Of course, if we fail in our mission, it's just a worthless slip of paper.
Merlinus: But... ...I must protest!! For the rest of my days, I've vowed in my heart to continue serving you both! Please, oh please! Do not abandon me.
Eliwood: Merlinus... ......
Hector: Then go get on the boat and pray for our safe return!
Eliwood: ...Please. Have faith in us. Wait for us.
Merlinus: ...Sniff sniff... ...I... I under...stand. Until the end of time, my lord. I will wait for you until the end of time. Please...come back...safely... Please!
Hector: Yeah, OK. We're going. Bye.
(Hector leaves)
Eliwood: We'll be back.
(Eliwood leaves)
Merlinus: ......... Oh, Lord Eliwood... Oh my...

Eliwood: Nergal!
Nergal: Pah...you're here. But you're too late. The gate is already opened. I will claim the mighty quintessence of dragons. I will become stronger and move ever closer to perfection.
Eliwood: How many lives must you steal before you're satisfied!? And it's not only those who die. What about the ones left behind in pain and sorrow? What about them?
Nergal: I am who I am. The pain of others, I do not feel. The sorrow of others does not touch me. Death feeds me. Death pleases me. I am the essence I consume. You fools will become corpses here, because I wish it to be. Rise and come forth, my servants!

(Morphs teleport around Nergal)

Eliwood: This...
Nergal: You seem impressed with my work. Or perhaps it's just that you've seen a familiar face?
Eliwood: That's... Marquess Laus! And... Those are Black Fang members. What have you done, Nergal?!
Nergal: These morphs you see before you, I've given them the abilities and appearances of the people whose essences I used to craft them. Well, that's not entirely true. I've made them far more powerful. This is the ideal plan for hypocrites like you. Especially you, Eliwood. You continue to regret causing harm to anyone, even enemies. However, no matter the reason, once the deed is done, it's done. Whether you enjoy it or not is irrelevant--the result is the same.
Eliwood: It is not the same! If you feel no horror for taking someone's life...then you...you yourself are not alive!
Nergal: Heh heh heh... Your weakness runs deep in you. You can never understand. The concepts of good and evil are devoid of any meaning, any value. These ideas prevent humans from liberating their own strengths. Such foolishness... The ultimate foolishness of the human race!!
Athos: Nergal, after all these years... You have not stopped to reconsider your ideas at all.
Nergal: The same is true of you, Athos. You must see the truth of it! All living creatures take energy from somewhere. We all use it to create, to change it into something better. The knowledge of Arcadia has shown us the road to the ultimate transformation. And yet you will not take that road! Why do you reject the obvious?
Athos: I am not opposed to the quest for power, for greater knowledge. However, that quest must be driven from within. To fuel your quest with the stolen lives of others, this brings not wisdom but abomination.
Nergal: Heh heh heh... I remember. I still remember! Those words are unchanged from when you first said them ages back. When you and the dragons conspired to bury me!

Nergal: Look at this wound! The wound I took from your magic!!

Nergal: It was a mistake. The only person who understood... The man I thought my truest friend... It was a mistake to try and destroy me. Heh heh heh heh... It confirmed some things for me. That trust brings betrayal. That friends bring weakness!
Eliwood: If that is what you learned from your encounter, then you are a fool. Do you believe for a moment that, when wise Athos struck down his dearest friend, he felt nothing!? His heart was torn in two, and yet you refuse to understand that!
Athos: Eliwood...
Eliwood: Nergal! I will defeat you! Here! Today!! But...even now, there is no hatred in my heart. You who were born human, you who lost the heart that defines your humanity... For you, I have nothing but pity.
Nergal: ...Pity? Heh heh heh... Amusing. A weak fool like you has "pity" for me? Interesting... Now, if you hope to defeat me, you may have your chance. Of course, you will have to best my morphs first!

(Light flashes; Nergal and the morphs disappear)

Eliwood: Listen to me! This is my fight now! Mine alone! Everyone, stay back!
Hector: Hey! What are you talking about? We've come this far together, haven't we?
Lyn: That's right! I've said it before. We all feel the same way.
Eliwood: Hector... Lyndis...
Nils: Don't forget me, Lord Eliwood! And...Ninian. I'm sure she's here as well.
Eliwood: Nils...

If Mark is present: Elliwood: Ah! Mark, you, too?

Each deployed character says their respective lines:

Marcus: I'll show you the strength of a knight of Pherae.

Lowen: Knights should fight, not speak! ...Was that right?

Rebecca: I'll do whatever I can to help!

Dorcas: ...Winning this battle means protecting my family.

Kent: I will gladly volunteer to protect Lycia with my life.

Sain: I won't hold back! This is for all the lovely ladies I've yet to meet!!

Raven: If I die here...so be it.

Lucius: Blessed Saint Elimine, please grant us a miracle...

Canas: Let this battle be forgotten by history... That is all I ask.

Dart: I'm Dart, brave crewman of Fargus's pirates, and I fear nothing!

Fiora: For the honor of the Pegasus knights of Ilia, I will annihilate the foe!

Legault: My oh my... Fools aplenty. That includes me, too.

Isadora: My pride shall not be broken! My strength holds true!

Rath: For those whose reasoning is bent. I will straighten it with my bow.

Heath: For Bern, land of my birth... May I return to it soon!

Hawkeye: ...I, too, will join you in this final glory.

Wallace: I'm trembling with anticipation!

Geitz: This looks like fun! This is what I've been waiting for!!

Pent: If he has power to rival Athos, then I must test that power myself.

Louise: No matter what happens, I'll be at Lord Pent's side.

Karel: As long as there's someone to cut, you will have my aid.

Harken: Lord Elbert... I will protect your son.

Nino: ...Father... Brothers...... For all that I've lost... I won't let him get away!

Jaffar: ......

Vaida: What are you worried about? With me here, we can't lose!

Renault: It is for this moment that I have lived...

Eliwood: Everyone... Let's go! We've got to stop Nergal!

Ending

Hector: It's...finished.
Lyn: Yes. At long last...
Eliwood: ...Father...
Nils: ... ... ...

(The screen shakes; the door behind Nergal opens)

Hector: What was that!?
Lyn: What on earth... What happened?
Eliwood: It can't be...

(The group moves through the doorway to the Dragon's Gate, which dragons are emerging from)

Hector: Ah!
Lyn: Th... Are those... Dragons?
ELiwood: Nergal's final warning... This is what he meant!
Athos: What a calamity! If dragons return to this world... The continent will be ash in less than a month!!
Eliwood: This must end at any cost! I will stop it!!

Athos: Nergal...
Nergal: Heh heh... Athos... Take a good look at me! At my tremendous power!
Athos: Already...words are useless. As an old friend... I will fulfill my duty.

Defeating Nergal

Nergal: Why? Why must I lose? Gaa... Not like this... I will not die...like this. With my last breath...tremble...and...despair. Hwah ha ha... Ha...ha ha ha...
