CHAPTER IV: BATTLE INSIDE OF IGROS CASTLE
[Ramza approaches the gates of Igros castle. A lone chocobo waits at the gate.]
RAMZA: ...No guards. Strange...
[Ramza approaches the chocobo.]
RAMZA: This Chocobo is my brother Zalbag's...
[Ramza walks towards the castle entrance.]
RAMZA: That's it.
[Ramza flips the lever to operate the gate and walks inside.]
[Inside Igros, Zalbag confronts Dycedarg at swordpoint.]
DYCEDARG: Zalbag! Have you gone crazy? What's this all about!?
ZALBAG: Brother...and you call yourself a Beoulve?
DYCEDARG: You mean Duke Larg? He'd have died anyway! Think about it. He couldn't even fight without relying on others for help! It was a mistake for anybody like him to even start a war!
ZALBAG: It's bad to kill one's lord, but my father... I'll never forgive that. Why him? Why'd you have to kill him?
DYCEDARG: What? I don't know what you're talking about!
ZALBAG: The Duke's dying words... I couldn't believe them! Why, brother!? Why did you kill father!?
[A Hokuten knight runs into the room.]
HOKUTEN KNIGHT: Dycedarg!!
[Dycedarg turns to him.]
DYCEDARG: Zalbag's insane!!
[More Hokuten run into the room.]
DYCEDARG: Capture him!
ZALBAG: Brother!!
[Ramza calls out, his company just having entered the scene.]
RAMZA: Zalbag!!
[BATTLE BEGINS]
ZALBAG: Ramza! You were right! Our brother's started a war and killed Larg to satisfy his own ambition! This is disgraceful and cannot be forgiven!!
RAMZA: Zalbag!!
DYCEDARG: Fools! Why won't you obey? Why do you defy me? The powerful must rule the powerless ones! It's our duty! Even the once mighty Royal Family has fallen and lost their power! It's only natural for us to take their place! It's the right way to use our power!! Why can't you understand!?
ZALBAG: Don't you have any 'justice', Brother!? The Beoulve name is only for the brave! You aren't worthy of it, Brother!
DYCEDARG: 'Justice'? I'm embarrassed to think you even said that! You think such pretty ideals can govern the people!? Why are you able to use that sword? Why do you think the people call you a hero? It's all because of me!! Because I dirtied my hands you're here! You should be thanking me, not despising me!!
[ONCE DYCEDARG IS DEFEATED]
DYCEDARG: If only you hadn't interfered... Ivalice would've been ours, the Beoulve's... You fools...
[As Dycedarg collapses, the Capricorn stone in his posession rises into the air. A burst of green energy pours out of it and Dycedarg is transformed into a goatlike Lucavi.]
ADRAMELK: Heh, heh...So that's it...Now I know...
[There is a flash of green light and the Hokuten vanish. The demon turns its gaze upon Zalbag.]
ADRAMELK: Young fool. Here's a souvenir for you on the way to Hell. I killed Balbanes... Yes, I did it... The Beoulve's finally had their chance to rule... But he blew it! That idiot! So I killed him... Even a sword master can't fight poison!
[Adramelk unleashes another burst of magic and Zalbag disappears.]
ADRAMELK: Now it's your turn... You'll regret opposing me!
[BATTLE ENDS]
ADRAMELK: Shit! It's still not right. If only 'Bloody Angel' were here this wouldn't have happened...
[Adramelk vanishes in a burst of light. The Capricorn stone falls to the floor.]
RAMZA: This is the end of the Beoulve's... Names don't matter... What's important is how you live your life. Alma... I must save Alma!
RAMZA: ...No guards. Strange...
[Ramza approaches the chocobo.]
RAMZA: This Chocobo is my brother Zalbag's...
