CHAPTER II: BATTLE AT THE GATE OF LIONEL CASTLE

[Ramza's company is at the gate of Lionel Castle. Ramza has evidently climbed over the wall and walks along the top of the fortifications.]

RAMZA: Wait there. I'll open the gate.

FAMILIAR VOICE: Not so fast!

[Ramza turns, and we see Gafgarion approaching.]

GAFGARION: You got in all right, but didn't notice an ambush.

[Troops in Lionel colors approach the front of the gate, surrounding the party.]

RAMZA: Damn!!

GAFGARION: Ramza! It's me you must fight with! En garde!!



[BATTLE BEGINS]



[ONCE RAMZA MAKES IT TO THE LEVER TO OPEN THE GATE]

RAMZA: If I push this lever ...

[He pulls the lever and the gate opens.]



[ONCE GAFGARION IS DEFEATED]

GAFGARION: Ugnn...is this...end?

RAMZA: Goodbye, Gafgarion......

[Gafgarion's body transforms into a crystal.]



[BATTLE ENDS]



RAMZA: We must save the princess before reinforcements arrive!
