CHAPTER I: ATTACK BY THE DEATH CORPS!

『Attack by the Death Corps!: The Pirates attacked the Beoulve mansion in Igros, knowing the majority of the troops were out killing Death Corps. The Corps objective was to kill Dycedarg, a major influence on Larg. The attack went smoothly until Zalbag spoiled the plan. Delita's sister, Teta was taken as hostage...』

Meanwhile, at Igros,
capital of Gallione,
Beoulve castle

TETA: Let go! Stop it, let go of me!!

[The shot pans down to show a Death Corps fighter racing away on a chocobo, Teta in tow. Another man waits on birdback by the gates of the Beoulve home, while Hokuten bodies litter the ground.]

GOLAGROS: Hurry up!

[A man emerges from the gates, dragging Alma by the wrist.]

ALMA: Ouch! Let go of my hand! Brother!!

[Zalbag rushes out and strikes the man down. A chocobo runs off, startled, while Alma collapses to the ground.]

GOLAGROS: Damn...That's it!!

[He rides off. Alma stands up, and Zalbag turns to her.]

ZALBAG: Are you all right, Alma?

[Alma walks towards him.]

ALMA: I'm OK, but Teta isn't.

[Zalbag looks towards the direction in which the kidnappers fled.]

ZALBAG: Yes, I know.

[Dycedarg staggers outside, clearly injured. He falls a little, and Alma steadies him.]

ZALBAG: Brother!!

DYCEDARG: I, I'm all right...... What about ...Alma....?

ALMA: Yes. I'm fine. What an awful wound....

DYCEDARG: I never thought they'd come here. They're after me.

ZALBAG: Five people were killed, and Teta was kidnapped.

DYCEDARG: After them....Leave no stone unturned until you find them.

ALMA: Please don't talk anymore!

[Dycedarg closes his eyes.]

DYCEDARG: Death Corps.....bastard.

[He falls unconscious.]

ALMA: Are you all right!?

ZALBAG: Hey! Anybody there!?
