CHAPTER III: BATTLE INSIDE OF RIOVANES CASTLE




[Ramza walks into a dark courtyard. The entire location is strewn with corpses.]

RAMZA: What's this....?

[Wiegraf stands at the top of the stairs. He turns to greet Ramza.]

WIEGRAF: There you are Ramza.

[He steps towards him.]

WIEGRAF: Draw your sword, Ramza. What's wrong? If you don't, I will.

RAMZA: How miserable you are... Giving your spirit to Lucavi just to avenge yourself. If Miluda knew about this, she'd be very disappointed.

WIEGRAF: Revenge? Ha! That's not what I'm after..... I want far more than that. I don't give a damn about Miluda's murder. I want to bring 'chaos' into the world...to hear the screams of humans... But, don't worry, Ramza, I'll kill you...myself.



[BATTLE BEGINS]



RAMZA: The stones are evil...and so are the Zodiac Braves. The legends we believed in were all lies!

WIEGRAF: Hya, ha, ha. So much for 'God's miracle'. Governments falsify history only so it favors them. But you can't blame them. Because people always hope for a 'miracle'. Endlessly complaining, lazy, nuisances... that's what the masses really are. Governments give the people what they want...and history repeats itself. Governments might well have taken advantage of their insecurity.... But then again, people are satisfied being used... 'God' is nothing but an image created out of their insecurity. It's their fault for knowing they're comfortably numb, and not doing anything about it.

RAMZA: And what about you? Relying on miracles instead of beating your insecurities!

WIEGRAF: It's because humans are insecure that they rely on 'miracles'. Can you honestly say you're not, with any confidence?

RAMZA: I'm trying!

WIEGRAF: Then your efforts have come to an end!



[ONCE WIEGRAF IS INJURED]

WIEGRAF: You've improved...

[He vanishes. Ramza looks around for him.]

RAMZA: Running away? Wiegraf!!

[He races to the center of the courtyard.]

RAMZA: Come out of there! Wiegraf!!

[Wiegraf reappears at the top of the stairs.]

WIEGRAF: Let's have it out here...

[There is the blue glow of Aries and a burst of light and magic. Wiegraf is once more transformed into Velius.]

VELIUS: Sorry to keep you waiting.

[Ramza turns to find his company behind him.]

VELIUS: I see you have some help. Then I'll do the same. Come out, loyal servants!

[He summons three archaic demons to stand behind him.]

VELIUS: Here I come, Ramza! Let me show you the power of evil!



[BATTLE ENDS]



VELIUS: Whooooah!! They're just humans.....!

[Velius disintegrates in a burst of blue light. The Aries stone hovers a few moments before dropping to the ground. The remnants of the archaic demons vanish. There is the sound of a scream.]

RAMZA: Alma!!
