[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!

[Inside Eagrose, Zalbaag confronts Dycedarg at swordpoint.]
DYCEDARG: Have you taken leave of your senses, Zalbaag? This is madness!
ZALBAAG: After what you've done, you think yourself fit to lead our house?
DYCEDARG: That business with the duke? Larg was long dead ere my dagger found its mark. Think, Brother. He was a weak man, who relied on others to fight where he could not. More fool he for starting a war he could not stomach.
ZALBAAG: Our liege lord's murder bothers me not half so much as our father's! How could you dirty your hands with his blood? What manner of son are you?
DYCEDARG: I am my father's son! I know naught of his murder!
ZALBAAG: Duke Larg's dying words. I could scarce believe my ears, but there was no mistaking what he said. Why did you kill him, Dycedarg? Why!?
[A Northern Sky knight runs into the room.]
NORTHERN SKY KNIGHT: Lord Dycedarg!!
[Dycedarg turns to him.]
DYCEDARG: Zalbaag is taken with some madness!
[More knights run into the room.]
DYCEDARG: Seize him!
ZALBAAG: Lord Brother!!
[Ramza calls out, his company just having entered the scene.]
RAMZA: Stand your ground, Zalbaag!
[BATTLE BEGINS]
ZALBAAG: Ramza! It is all as you've said! Dycedarg enkindled this war and slew the duke. All to feed his own ambition. He has sullied our name, brought scorn upon our house--he must be made to pay!
RAMZA: He shall, Lord Brother!
DYCEDARG: You fools! Why will you not follow where I lead? Why do you turn against me? The powerful must rule the weak! It is our duty! The Crown once held such power, but no more! See how fate has brought it low? Why should we not rule in its stead? We must wield our power and seize the reins of Ivalice! Why will you not see this?
ZALBAAG: You feast on power, Brother, but leave no place at table for justice. The name Beoulve befits brave men who raise their swords in justice's name. You are no Beoulve!
DYCEDARG: Justice? I'd die of shame to hear the word from my own lips! Such lofty ideals cannot rule a people so common. Who has earned you the right to wield your sword of justice? To be hailed as hero? Is it not I? I, who have dirtied my hands to keep yours clean? All that you are you owe to me! You ought be on your knees thanking me, yet here you stand in judgment!
[ONCE DYCEDARG IS DEFEATED]
DYCEDARG: You've ruined...everything. Ivalice was to be...to be ours. You fools...what have you done?
[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.]
ADRAMMELECH: So this is what it is to be a god.
[There is a flash of green light and the Hokuten vanish. The demon turns its gaze upon Zalbaag.]
ADRAMMELECH: Fool of a brother! Heed well these words, the last your ears shall hear. Slain by my hand, our father, Barbaneth. This war had brought our house its chance to rule. He would but watch as hist'ry passed us by. His due I granted him, no more, no less. No sword yet wrought can parry poison's kiss.
[Adrammelech unleashes another burst of magic and Zalbaag disappears.]
ADRAMMELECH: And so on you, Ramza, my gaze alights. Now know regret, a traitor's recompense!
[BATTLE ENDS]
ADRAMMELECH: Too soon this mortal coil did I assume! Angel of Blood, High Seraph...come too late..
[Adrammelech vanishes in a burst of light. The Capricorn stone falls to the floor.]
RAMZA: House Beoulve is no more. But what does it matter? We are the sum of our deeds, not our names. Alma...I will find you, Alma.
from Sugnuf's story translation.
[Dycedarg is on the floor, with Zalbag hovering over him, wielding his sword.]
DYCEDARG: Zalbag, have you lost your wits!? What is the meaning of this!?
ZALBAG: You dare call yourself a Beoulve after what you've done!?
DYCEDARG: You mean Prince Larg? He would have died anyway! Larg was an imbecile who sent better men to fight his battles for him. It was a mistake for him to start a war in the first place! Even you must see that!
ZALBAG: The Prince's murder was ill done, but what I cannot forgive is father's death... How could do something so foul!? Why did you kill father!?
DYCEDARG: What in the blazes are you talking about!?
ZALBAG: I thought perhaps that I had misheard Prince Larg's dying words... Ajora damn you, Dycedarg, why did you kill father!?
[enter a knight]
AQUILOR KNIGHT: Lord Dycedarg!!
[Dycedarg turns to the knight.]
DYCEDARG: Zalbag's gone insane!
[Several knights enter, swords ready]
DYCEDARG: [to the knights] Detain him!
ZALBAG: DYCEDARG---!!!
[enter Ramza and company]
RAMZA: Zalbag!
[battle ensues, with Dycedarg as target]
ZALBAG: Ramza, you were right all along! Dycedarg started this war to further his own ambitions! He even killed Prince Larg! We cannot forgive this stain upon our House!
RAMZA: Lord brother!
[sparring]
DYCEDARG: Why must you persist in defying me!? None in the kingdom are the greater or more capable than our House; with the Royal Family all but fallen, why should Beoulves not take their place!? Both duty and reason demands that we rule those lesser than us. There is no nobler way for us to exert our might!
ZALBAG: Justice, Honour... do these mean nothing to you!? You betray your name!
DYCEDARG: And does Hypocrisy mean nothing to you, Zalbag!? Who put that sword your hand? Why are you praised as hero? Because of me! I brought you to power, to all your victories! Everything that you have is because I dared to sully my hands! By all rights you ought to be thanking me, but instead you scorn me for these petty scruples of yours!? When have justice and honour ever ruled over men!?
[Once Dycedarg is wounded.]
DYCEDARG: ... Ivalice would've belonged to Beoulves... had... you fools...
[Dycedarg falls, but the holy stone given to him glimmers in his robe. It emits a radiant light and chilling moans, and transforms Dycedarg into Adramelech.]
ADRAMELECH, THE AVATAR OF FURY: Heh, heh, heh... So this is it's secret... Now I know... [The stone shines once more, and zaps away all the knights. He speaks to Zalbag.] Fool of a brother... allow me to send you on your way to the afterlife. Indeed, I killed Balbanes... we Beoulves had our chance to seize the throne, but the old man wouldn't do it! So I killed him... Even the greatest of swordsmen cannot fight poison! [The stone glows, and Zalbag is zapped away. Adramelech then speaks to Ramza.] Now it's your turn... you'll regret opposing me!
[battle ensues yet again, with Adramelech as target]
[Once Adramelech is defeated...]
ADRAMELECH: Noooo--! This cannot be!!! If only the Bloodstained Angel was here, this... would not... have... happened...!!!!
[Adramelech explodes in a burst of colour. The holy stone falls behind.]
RAMZA: It is the end for House Beoulve... all that matters is how one lives life. [pausing] Alma... I must save Alma!
[fade out]
[Inside Igros, Zalbag confronts Dycedarg at swordpoint.]
DYCEDARG: Zalbag! What are you doing? What is the meaning of this?
ZALBAG: Brother... how dare you? All this time...
DYCEDARG: The duke? He was as good as dead already! Think, Zalbag! He was a weakling! To have me murder in his name for years... what could he expect? More fool he was for starting a war that he couldn't stomach.
ZALBAG: So what about Larg? You killed our father! You monster!
DYCEDARG: I am my father's son! How could you even suggest it?
ZALBAG: Duke Larg's dying words... I couldn't believe them! Why, you bastard? Why did you kill him?!
[A Hokuten knight runs into the room.]
HOKUTEN KNIGHT: Dycedarg!
[Dycedarg turns to him.]
DYCEDARG: Zalbag has lost his mind!
[More Hokuten run into the room.]
DYCEDARG: Seize him!
ZALBAG: Ramza!
[Ramza calls out, his company just having entered the scene.]
RAMZA: Zalbag! Hold on!
[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...yes!
DYCEDARG: Fools! Why not follow my lead? Why do you defy me? The powerful must rule the powerless! It's our duty! The crown has fallen at last! See how fate had brought it low? Why shouldn't we take our rightful place? Everything I've done has led to now! Why will you not see this?
ZALBAG: Do you care at all about justice? The Beoulve name is only for the righteous! You aren't worthy of it, Dycedarg!
DYCEDARG: 'Justice'? I'm embarrassed to think you even said that! You think such petty ideals can govern? Why are you able to use that sword? Why do you think the people call you a hero? Is that not my work? I, who dirtied my hands to keep yours clean? All that you are you owe to me! You ought to be on your knees before me, and here you stand in judgement!
[ONCE DYCEDARG IS DEFEATED]
DYCEDARG: If only you hadn't interfered... We had an open goal, you fools... you've ruined everything... The Beoulve name...
[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: Small consolation... to be a god.
[There is a flash of green light and the Hokuten vanish. The demon turns its gaze upon Zalbag.]
ADRAMELK: Here's a souvenir for you on the way to Hell. I killed our father... Slowly, deliberately, with real purpose. The war brought us a chance to rule, and he watched history pass us by... I gave him what he was due, no more, no less. To your pathetic faith, the same.
[Adramelk unleashes another burst of magic and Zalbag disappears.]
ADRAMELK: I never imagined I could despise anyone as much as you, Ramza. Your strength insults me. Your conviction is repugnant. This is the end, you wretch!
[BATTLE ENDS]
ADRAMELK: Shit! I was too soon... Angel of Blood, High Seraph... such a waste this has been...
[Adramelk vanishes in a burst of light. The Capricorn stone falls to the floor.]
RAMZA: This is the end of my family. Honestly, I'm disgusted. We didn't deserve any more than this. Alma... I couldn't bear to lose you too.
[Inside Igros, Zalbag confronts Dycedarg at swordpoint.]
DYCEDARG: What the hell is your problem, Zalbag?!
ZALBAG: You!! You're the source of our problems! Everything you've done has caused mayhem!
DYCEDARG: What are you talking about? I haven't done anything! Have you gone mad?!
ZALBAG: Mad?! Pissed off beyond mortal comprehension! That's what I am, 'brother'! You killed Larg when I had my back turned! You stabbed him in the heart and feigned it was all the Southern Sky's fault! Having a secret meeting with one of Funebris' men, and worst of all, you poisoned our father to death with mossfungus mixtures!
DYCEDARG: I didn't do any of that! Are you drunk?!
ZALBAG: If father were here now, he'd be putting you in your grave himself!! What kind of son are you to poison your own loving father to death?! It boils my blood even look at the face of my 'brother'!!
[A Hokuten knight runs into the room.]
HOKUTEN KNIGHT: My lord! What's going on?!
[Dycedarg turns to him.]
DYCEDARG: Help! Zalbag's lost his mind!
[More Hokuten run into the room.]
DYCEDARG: Seize him!
ZALBAG: Listen to me! Dycedarg's the one you should be fighting, not me!
[Ramza calls out, his company just having entered the scene.]
RAMZA: Zalbag!! We're here! Just hold on!
[BATTLE BEGINS]
ZALBAG: Ramza! You're a sight for a sore heart! You were right about Dycedarg, how we couldn't trust him, him plotting to kill Ovelia, everything! I should have trusted you, you ARE a Beoulve afterall!
[sic]
RAMZA: I forgive you, just focus on killing him!
DYCEDARG: Do none of you understand?! For generations our family's been a pawn of the Royal Family!
ZALBAG: So you kill them all in the hopes of ruling over Ivalice?!
DYCEDARG: And getting rid of a useless family member. Someone who sullied our bloodline. Using some common whore to sire Ramza and Alma... they're as much a disgrace as you are, Zalbag!
[ONCE DYCEDARG IS DEFEATED]
DYCEDARG: Ivalice could have been ours... Ours to rule...
[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.]
ADRAMMELECH: My dear Dycedarg. I won't let your dreams die here. I've much in store for you.
[There is a flash of green light and the Hokuten vanish. The demon turns its gaze upon Zalbag.]
ADRAMMELECH: Your Father was a fool, Zalbag. Never suspecting... haha. Never suspecting it was his own flesh and blood poisoning his evening medicine!
[Adrammelech unleashes another burst of magic and Zalbag disappears.]
ADRAMMELECH: I'll administer a toxin so potent, no antidote in creation can cure it! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!
[BATTLE ENDS]
ADRAMMELECH: Shit! This guy wasn't a suitable body at all!!
[Adrammelech vanishes in a burst of light. The Capricorn stone falls to the floor.]
RAMZA: First my father... then my sisters... and now both of my half-brothers?! Calm down, Ramza... Marak talked about Murond. Alma must be there. If I can't save Zalbag, at least I can save her...

【ザルバッグがダイスダーグに剣を向けている】
ダイスダーグ卿: 気でも狂ったのか、ザルバッグ！ いったい何のまねだッ！！
聖騎士ザルバッグ: 兄上ッ、兄上はそれでもベオルブの名を継ぐ者かッ！
ダイスダーグ卿: ラーグ公のことを言っているのか？ 私が討たなくとも死んでいたよ！ 考えてもみろ？ 他人の力を借りなければ戦うことのできない奴だったのだ！ そうした奴が戦争を始めたこと自体が大きな間違いだったのだッ！！
聖騎士ザルバッグ: 主君殺しも恥だが、私が許せないのは父上のことだッ！何故、父上を…父上を暗殺するような卑劣なマネをしたのだッ！！
ダイスダーグ卿: 何のことだ？ 私は知らん！ 知らんぞ！！
聖騎士ザルバッグ: ラーグ公の最期の言葉…、聞き違いかと思ったが……！！ 「何故だッ、兄上ッ！！ 何故、父上を殺したッ！！
【騎士が入ってくる】
北天騎士団騎士（男）: ダイスダーグ様ッ！！
ダイスダーグ卿: ザルバッグが乱心したッ！！
【騎士たちがザルバッグを囲む】
ダイスダーグ卿: ザルバッグを捕らえよ！
聖騎士ザルバッグ: 兄上ーッ！！
剣士ラムザ（入ってきて）: ザルバッグ兄さんッ！
聖騎士ザルバッグ: ラムザ！ おまえの言っていたことは本当だった！！ 兄上はおのれの野心のために戦争を引き起こし、さらにはラーグ公をも暗殺したッ！！ ベオルブの名を汚し、地に貶めるその行為、許すわけにはいかんッ！！
剣士ラムザ: ザルバッグ兄さんッ！
ダイスダーグ卿（次のターン）: 愚か者どもめ！ 何故、私に従わん！ 何故、私に逆らうのだ！ 力を持つ者が持たざる者を支配するのは当たり前！ それは持つ者の責任なのだ！！ かつて力を有していた王家も今では堕ちるところまで堕ちてしまった！ 力を持つ我々が王家にとって代るのも当然のことではないか！！ それが正しい力の使い方なのだ！！ 何故、それを理解せん！！
聖騎士ザルバッグ: 兄上は“正義”という心を持っていないのか！！ ベオルブは正義のために剣を振るう者にのみ与えられる勇者の称号！ 兄上にはその資格がないッ！！
ダイスダーグ卿: “正義”だと？ そんな言葉、口に出すのも恥ずかしいわッ！！ そんな奇麗事で民を治めることなどできるものかッ！！ おまえがそうやって剣を振れるのは誰のおかげだと思っている！？ 英雄と呼ばれるのは誰のおかげだ！ すべてこの私だ！ この私が手を汚しているおかげで、おまえはその立場にいられるのだ！ 感謝されることはあってもおまえに恨み言を言われる筋合いなどないわッ！！
【ダイスダーグ死亡時】
ダイスダーグ卿 そ…、そんな……おまえたちが邪魔さえしなければ… このイヴァリースは……ベオルブ家の……ものに……なったのだ…ぞ…… 愚か者ども…め……
【ダイスダーグが倒れる。すると聖石が輝きダイスダーグをルカヴィへと転生させる】
憤怒の霊帝アドラメレク: ククク…、そういうことか……そういうことだったのか……
憤怒の霊帝アドラメレク: 愚かな弟よ……。冥土のみやげに教えてやろう…。 そうだ……。バルバネスはこの私が殺した…。私が殺したのだよ……。 せっかく、ベオルブが君臨するチャンスがやってきたというのに、あの戦争バカめ……。だから、殺してやったのさ……。クククク…、どんな剣の達人でも毒には勝てんというわけだ……。
【アドラメレクが体を震わす。光が降ってきてザルバッグを消し去る】
憤怒の霊帝アドラメレク: 今度はおまえの番だ……。逆らったことを後悔するがいい…！！
【アドラメレク死亡時】
憤怒の霊帝アドラメレク: くそッ！！ まだ…不完全だったか…。 “血塗られた聖天使”さえ…いれば…こんなことには……ならなかった………
【アドラメレクの体が爆発し、聖石のみが残る】
剣士ラムザ: ベオルブ家も、もうおしまいだ…。 いや…、家なんか関係ない…。 大切なのは、どう生きるかなんだ…。
剣士ラムザ: アルマ…。アルマを助けなければ…！！
