Zidane: So...this is Freya's home...
Zidane: What are you doing? Get over here.
Freya reluctantly approaches.
Freya: It's been five years...
Freya (kneels): I've been away for so long...
Freya: Not a night went by when I didn't dream about home.
Freya: I can't believe I'm here...
Freya: I am no longer the selfish child I was five years ago.
Freya: The time has come to serve my kingdom as a Burmecian dragon knight once again!
Zidane: I'll do what I can to help!
Vivi: Me, too!
Quina: I help, too!
Zidane: Let's go.
All but Freya enter the kingdom.
Freya: What can I do for my kingdom?
Freya: This is not the time.
She follows.

Zorn appears on a balcony.

They leave, and two black mages take their places.
(Mages): KILL!
They leap down.
Battle: 2xType A
Zorn (returns): The general will punish you for this!

They leave.

Stairway
Freya: Zidane...
Freya: Burmecia's royal palace is beyond these steps.
Freya: It must be in ruins, just like everything else. I can't bear to see it like that...
Zidane: I understand, but we can't go back now. We have to find out who's behind this.
Vivi: ...I wanna find out who those guys were...and why I look like them.
Zidane: Look, Vivi's scared, too. But we have to face reality.
Vivi: Come on, Freya. It'll be okay...
Freya: Vivi...
Freya: Do you really know what you're doing?
Freya: The answer you seek may forever change your life for the worse.
Vivi: Um......
Vivi: Y-Yeah... But...
Vivi: But I have to... I have to find out who I am...
Vivi: I'm scared... What if I'm not even human...?
(Freya): Vivi...
Quina: What you talking about? I not human, but you definitely human!
(Zidane): Someone's coming!
Some Burmecians approach.
Burmecian Soldier Dan: Who are you!?
The woman protects the children.
Burmecian Soldier Dan: Are you in league with the black mages!?
Zidane: No!
Burmecian Soldier Dan: You're lying! There's a black mage right behind you!
Vivi: No! I didn't do anything! I would never hurt anyone!
(Burmecian Soldier Dan): Lies!
(Freya): He's telling the truth!
Burmecian Soldier Dan: ...Freya!?
The woman and children relax.
Freya: It's good to see you, Dan.
Burmecian Soldier Dan: Damn, I haven't seen you in years! Where've you been!?
Burmecian Soldier Dan: Actually, this isn't the best time to talk!
Burmecian Soldier Dan: We've gotta get out of here fast. There are black mages swarming all over this place.
The Burmecians leave. Dan returns.
Burmecian Soldier Dan: What are you waiting for!?
Freya: Where is the king?
Burmecian Soldier Dan: I don't know. I didn't see him in the palace.
Burmecian Soldier Dan: Well, I'm going. I've got my own family to worry about.
Burmecian Soldier Dan: Freya, forget about the king and get out of here! We're no match for those black mages!
He leaves.
Freya: I will protect my home and my king at any cost. Let's go to the palace.
Uptown Area
* (Burmecian): ......
* Zidane: This statue... Maybe I can tip it over.
* Push it
He tries.
Zidane: Man...it won't even budge!
* Forget it
Inside
Wei: Come on, dear! We have to go now!
Kal: I can't move anymore. Go on without me...
Wei: No! I can't do that!
Wei: Remember that promise we made each other in front of Master Gizamaluke?
Kal: How could I forget...
Kal: But my only wish now is for you and our child to survive.
Kal: Please bear a healthy child, darling. Raise him to be strong.
(Wei): Oh, Kal!
Zidane: It's too dangerous to stay here. You have to escape to Lindblum.
Zidane: I'm sure Regent Cid will protect you.
Wei: But my husband... He was hurt by those black mages. He can't move.
Wei: How can we possibly escape to Lindblum!?
The structure rumbles. Zidane runs toward the pair.
(Zidane): LOOK OUT!
He drags Kal out of the way just as the thing collapses.
Zidane: Whew, that was close!
Kal: Geez... Thanks.
Wei: Thank you.
Gray (enters): Wei! Kal! Are you alright!?
Kal: Yeah, we survived, somehow.
Kal: Can you give me a hand?
Gray: Sure.
Kal: Thanks again, pal. Maybe I'll see you again in Lindblum. By then, my kids'll be born. You definitely have to come and see them.
Zidane: Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Take care.

Battle: Mimic
Armory
Freya looks around.
Freya: Is there anything here we can use?
She goes to the spear at the back of the room.
Freya: This spear...
She takes it, and tries it out.
Freya: It's pretty light and easy to use.
<Mythril Spear>
Zidane: Alright, let's go beat up some black mages!
Vivi is sad.
Zidane: Come on. You know I don't mean you.
Vivi: I know...
(Vivi): But...
Vivi: Never mind...
(Zidane): Vivi...
Vault
- Lightning Staff: Chest.
* Chest
Stiltzkin enters.
Stiltzkin: Well, look who we have here.
Stiltzkin: Hey, buddy. Do you wanna buy something?
* Atla Mognet
Atla: Thanks for delivering the letter from Mogki! Kupo! (title: Map of the Entire World in His Bag?)
From Mogki to Atla
I heard that Stiltzkin is headed in your direction. Kupo! I've never met him. Tell me what he's like if you meet him. Kupo!
Check and see if he travels with a map of the entire world and with rare items, like the rumor says! Kupo!
* (No Stiltzkin)
Atla: I've never met Stiltzkin either. Kupo!
* (Stiltzkin)
Atla: Stiltzkin is my hero!
Atla: And I'll give you this in exchange for delivery!
<Kupo Nut>
* Stiltzkin: Here's what I got: Soft, Hi-Potion, Ether. Do you wanna buy 'em for 333 Gil?
* Okay
Stiltzkin: Thanks. This'll keep me going for another week or so.
* Forget it
* Stiltzkin: I can't stand all this rain.
Base of the palace
Zidane: Geez, this is terrible...
Zidane: Freya, I'm sorry, but from the looks of this, I don't think the king made it.
She kneels.
Zidane: ......
* Talk to her
Zidane: I don't know what to tell you...
Zidane: We can only hope that the king and the others escaped.
(Freya): ......
Zidane: ......
* Talk to her/Leave her alone/I wonder if Dagger's alright...
* Leave her alone
* I wonder if Dagger's alright...
Zidane: I don't think Dagger came here...
Zidane: I wonder where she went...
* Talk to her/Leave her alone/I wonder if Dagger's alright...
Zidane: Vivi, let's go see what's over there.
They start to leave.
(Freya): !!!
She leaps away.
(Zidane): Freya!
They look up.
Freya: There's someone inside the palace! What are you waiting for? Get up here.
She leaves.
Zidane: You make it sound so easy...
Zidane: I guess I'll start here.
He leaps up a little way, and turns to the group.
Zidane: Come on.
Vivi: Um...okay.
Vivi follows, and falls over. Zidane sits down.
Zidane: Oh, man.
Zidane: I'm gonna go on ahead. Try to find a way up here. I'll meet you up top.
Quina: I meet you after I eat food inside palace!
Zidane eventually makes it up, and follows Freya.
Throneroom
Zidane and Freya spy on Brahne and Beatrix.
(Zidane): Who is that?
(Freya): I knew she was behind all this.
Zidane: What do you mean, you knew?
Freya: I decided to return to Burmecia because I heard rumors that Brahne had set her sights on our kingdom.
Zidane: Then that girl standing next to her must be Beatrix, Alexandria's general.
Freya: That's Beatrix?
Freya: The cold-blooded knight who knows no mercy.
Freya: Beatrix...
Black
Beatrix?
Yes... Beatrix.
Fade in to see that the first voice is Freya, talking to Sir Fratley.
I hear there are many fierce warriors out in the world-some more powerful than even I...
...Beatrix of Alexandria, in particular. They say her swordsmanship is the best in the land.
Sir Fratley, do you still insist on going on your journey?
Yes... Please understand, Freya.
Right now, Burmecia is at peace, while other nations are slowly but surely gaining power.
I don't know if my spear alone is enough to protect Burmecia...
...which is precisely why I must go out into the world.
Sir Fratley...I don't think I can live on my own-not without you.
Freya, you're going to be fine.
Trust your strength... and have faith in your destiny.
Once I complete my journey around the world, I will return to Burmecia.
Then promise me, one more time, that you will return.
I promise.
He turns, and leaves. Freya collapses to her knees. Fade to black.
Fratley...
You never came back...
You've left me with nothing except rumors of your death.
I couldn't believe it!
I still won't believe it!
Never. Not until I witness proof of your death with my own eyes.
And I will travel across the world forever if I must...
Throneroom
Zidane: Are you alright?
Freya: Yes.
Freya: I was just thinking... about the past...
Zidane: You still can't get over him, huh?
A mystery man meets the Alexandrians.
Zidane: Who is that?
A better view
Mystery Man: I find this rain quite pleasant...
Mystery Man: It feels as though the raindrops are blessing our victory...
Brahne: This is a great victory for us. Kuja, your black mages made this conquest so simple.
Brahne: My only concern now is finding the king of Burmecia.
Brahne: We must take care of him once and for all, and prevent these rats from ever rising up again.
Brahne: Beatrix, what's taking so long!?
Beatrix: I don't know, Your Majesty. I've ordered Zorn and Thorn to search the perimeter, but there's been no word so far.
Beatrix: I will join them and lead the search right away.
She starts leaving.
Kuja: You're wasting your time.
(Beatrix): What?
Kuja: Rats often look for new homes when they sense an earthquake.
Kuja: They probably moved to the sandy tree house by now...
Kuja: So, you see, it's too late. The king has already turned tail and fled.
Brahne: Sandy tree house... Surely, you don't mean Cleyra!?
Brahne: It'll be quite difficult if they escaped to Cleyra.
Beatrix: Cleyra...
Beatrix: Unless we can get through that sandstorm, it will be impossible to attack them.
Brahne: Sneaky, little rats!
Brahne: Kuja, what do you think? Surely, with your powers, there must be something you can do.
Kuja: Of course, Your Majesty. I will present you a marvelous display of my power. I am certain that you will be most pleased.
Kuja (to Beatrix): I was wondering if you would gather your troops near Cleyra.
Kuja: I'm certain those filthy rats will retaliate in full force, and my black mages may not be enough.
Spies' view
Zidane: Sounds like we got trouble.
Freya: That sinister man... Who is he?
Zidane: Beats me... I've never seen him before.
Zidane: Well, it sounds like they're going to Cleyra. I've always wondered why people call it the 'City of Illusion.'
Freya: I don't know, either. Cleyra has remained in isolation for a hundred years.
Freya: If my people escaped to there, they'll be safe, at least for a while.
Zidane: What's this place like?
Freya: The people of Cleyra are originally from Burmecia.
Freya: Long ago, they severed ties with Burmecia over a trivial conflict.
Freya: Now the kingdom is at peace, shielded by a large sandstorm.
A Burmecian runs up to Beatrix.
Zidane: Look, there's someone else coming!
The Burmecian draws his sword.
Freya: What is he thinking!?
Zidane: Geez, he's gonna get killed!
They leap down to them.
A better view
Burmecian Soldier: Burmecia will never fall! Prepare to die!!!
Beatrix: You wish to fight me, Beatrix of Alexandria??
Burmecian Soldier: B-Beatrix!?
Beatrix: I commend your courage, but I will show you no mercy.
Freya and Zidane enter.
Zidane: Hold it!
Freya: You'll have to deal with us, first!
The Burmecian approaches Freya.
Freya: We'll take care of this. Go find the king. Protect him with your life.
Burmecian Soldier: ...Thank you, Freya.
He leaves.
Beatrix: Ha ha ha. I've never been so humiliated in my life.
Beatrix: I once killed a hundred knights single-handedly... To me, you two are nothing more than insects.
Quina and Vivi appear.
Battle: Beatrix
* (After some time)
You're no match for me!
She uses Stock Break, knocking everyone to 1HP.
Ignorant fools.
Battle ends.
Beatrix: How ridiculously weak...
Beatrix: Isn't there anyone who is worthy of facing me?
Brahne: Come, Beatrix. We must prepare to attack Cleyra.
Beatrix: Yes, Your Majesty.
They leave. Kuja inspects the party.
Kuja: Now, what do we have here...? Another filthy rat, and...
Kuja: Hmm... This boy could become a problem...
Movie: The rain continues to fall on the throne room. We see Kuja close-up, as he casts his eye over the defeated party. Freya struggles, much to his amusement. With a final glance, he climbs atop a dragon. Freya shields her face as it flies away.
