CHAPTER III: BATTLE ON THE ROOF OF RIOVANES CASTLE
[Rafa and Barinten stand face to face on the roof of Riovanes.]
BARINTEN: Fool! This is what I get? Revenge for kindness!? Why do you think you're even still alive today! Because of me! I took you out of the garbage! Or did you forget that already?
RAFA: Revenge for kindness? You burned the village! You are the one who killed my parents! And you say it's revenge for kindness? No...it's justice!
[Rafa draws a sword and approaches him. He produces a gun, which he aims at her.]
BARINTEN: Justice? How can you kill me? I'm your father. I raised you! I'd like to see you try and kill me!
[Rafa doesn't move.]
BARINTEN: Hya, ha! You can't... And do you know why? Because your body recalls the terror... Don't worry...that terror will gradually subside. Hya, ha, ha.
[Malak's voice calls from below.]
MALAK: Is that true?!!
[Barinten turns as Malak scrambles up the roof.]
MALAK: Is what you said true?
BARINTEN: You're turning on me, too? You're both ingrates!
[He looks to Rafa.]
RAFA: I'll kill you!
MALAK: Stop it! Rafa!!
[Malak charges forward, intercepting the bullet as Barinten fires. He falls forward, dead.]
RAFA: Malak!!
[Rafa throws her arms around him.]
RAFA: Malak! Are you all right!
[Ramza races up the side of the building.]
RAMZA: Rafa! Malak!!
[Barinten turns towards him.]
BARINTEN: So, you're Ramza. ....Dont' move. Rafa, if you want to help Malak, bring the stone here. Malak should have it. Find it!
[Rafa finds the stone. In the meantime, a figure has crept behind Barinten.]
BARINTEN: That's right. Bring it to me! Hurry!
[Barinten turns to see a woman in assassin's garb behind him. She lifts him up by the throat.]
BARINTEN: Gya!!
[With seemingly no effort, she nonchalantly tosses him off of the edge of the roof. Two other figures approach, one another woman in similar dress, the other the Marquis Elmdor.]
MAN'S VOICE: Can you hand me the stone?
RAMZA: M...Marquis Elmdor. Why are you here.....?
[Rafa puts the stone among her possessions.]
ELMDOR: No... Give it to me...
[The wind ruffles Elmdor's hair as Ramza races over.]
RAMZA: Rafa! Watch out!! They are not human!
ELMDOR: So you're Ramza, the heretic? I never really thanked you for doing me this favor. Thank you.... I don't want to have to get rough like Vormav did. Please understand. Now, hand me the stone and I'll ask Vormav to return your sister.
RAMZA: Where is Alma!? Bring her back!!
ELMDOR: Didn't you hear me? Give me the stone first.
[Rafa looks to Ramza.]
RAMZA: No, I won't.
ELMDOR: Are you abandoning her? I thought you came here to save her, knowing there'd be danger.
RAMZA: ......
ELMDOR: Very well. I didn't want to get rough but... Celia, Lede, go ahead! That girl has the stone. Get it back....!
[BATTLE BEGINS]
[IF RAFA IS KNOCKED UNOCNSCIOUS]
RAFA: Brother......Malak......
RAMZA: Rafa!!
[BATTLE ENDS]
ELMDOR: I see why Queklain and Velius were beaten..... Celia, Lede, retreat! Listen Ramza, If you want our stone, come to Limberry Castle! We'll be waiting...!
RAFA: Malak......
BARINTEN: Fool! This is what I get? Revenge for kindness!? Why do you think you're even still alive today! Because of me! I took you out of the garbage! Or did you forget that already?
