Steiner: How dare they imprison us like this! Those wretched court jesters!
Steiner: Zorn and Thorn will never get away with this!
Marcus: I can't believe I got dragged into this.
Steiner: No one asked you to meddle in our affairs!
Marcus: It's pretty sad, gettin' backstabbed by your own queen.
Steiner: This is all some kind of a mistake!
Steiner: I know the queen. She would never betray me!
Marcus: Wishful thinking.
Marcus: Who knows what she's gonna do to the princess...
Steiner: ......
Steiner: I must save the princess at all costs!
Garnet's room
Dagger: I wonder if Mother will even listen to me...
Dagger: Why did she attack Burmecia?
Dagger: And why did she arrest us like this?
Dagger: I must be sincere with her.
Dagger: She hasn't been herself lately...
Dagger: Actually, she's been acting rather strange since my birthday last year.
Dagger: The same day that tall man visited us...
Dagger: Maybe he had something to do with it.
Dagger: Come to think of it, that was when things began to change.
Dagger: Doctor Tot left Alexandria shortly afterwards, too.
Dagger: What happened that day?
The jesters enter.
Zorn: Queen Brahne summons you.
Thorn: Come with us.
Dagger: What!?
Dagger: How dare you speak to me like that!?
Zorn: Quiet!
Thorn: With us, you are coming, and that is that!
Dagger: (What was that phrase...? Oh yeah.)
Dagger: Get off me, you scumbag!
Zorn: What was that? I do not understand.
Thorn: Understand what she said, I do not, either.
Zorn/Thorn: Enough! Now, come with us!
Another room
They lead her in.
Zorn: Hurry up!
Thorn: For so long, the queen has waited.
She approaches the queen, and bows.
(Dagger): Mother...
Brahne: Darling, there you are.
Brahne: Where were you? I've been worried sick.
Brahne: Here, come closer.
She does so.
Dagger: Mother, there is something I need to ask you.
Brahne: What is it, darling? I will tell you anything you wish to know.
Dagger: Did you... Is it true that you are responsible for the destruction of Burmecia?
Brahne: Oh... Well, no wonder you look so concerned.
Brahne: That is far from the truth, Garnet.
Brahne: You see, those Burmecian rats have been plotting to destroy Alexandria for some time.
Brahne: I couldn't just wait for them to attack and destroy our precious kingdom.
Brahne: So I had no choice but to take initiative.
Dagger: Mother, is that really the truth?
Brahne: Of course.
Brahne: I would never lie to you.
* Believe her
Dagger: Alright... I'm sorry, Mother.
Brahne: It's okay, darling. I'm just happy that you understand.
* Don't believe her
Dagger: I don't believe you!
Brahne: Oh, darling, what's wrong? Why wouldn't you believe your mother?
Kuja enters.
Kuja: May I also play a part in this act?
Dagger: Act?
Kuja: Yes, an act from a beautiful play...
Kuja: There is a knight on a white horse...
Kuja: ...and a beautiful princess. It is a tale of tragic love.
Kuja: Overcome by grief, the princess must sleep for a hundred years...
Dagger: You... I've seen you before...
Kuja: It appears we were destined to meet again.
Kuja: My sweet angel, come to me.
He advances. She retreats. He eventually gets hold of her.
Kuja: I will take you to a world of dreams.
He does magic stuff, and Dagger collapses in his arms.
Kuja: She is beautiful, even in sleep.
Brahne: Hmph, impudent little girl.
Brahne: Zorn, Thorn!
Brahne: Prepare to extract the eidolons from Garnet.
Ominous chamber
Zorn: A belated happy birthday, Princess. Hee-hee-heee!
Thorn: Sixteen years old, the princess has become. Draw the eidolons from her, finally, we can.
Dagger's slab
Zorn: Ediolons of eternal life!
Thorn: Eidolons of infinite power!
Zorn: Arise from the 16 year sleep!
Thorn: Depart after the 16 year wait!
Light shoots into Dagger's body.
Zorn: Let there be light!
Thorn: Let there be life!
There is an explosion.
Zorn: The time has come!
Thorn: The time is now!
Her pendant rises into the air, dragging her with it.
Zorn: Come forth!
Thorn: Odin, warrior of the dark!
Something rises from her body, and the screen whitens.
Cleyra Observatory
Zidane: What are you doing here?
Freya: Tell me. Why do you think the sandstorm disappeared?
Zidane: I don't know.
Zidane: I was surprised that there even was a sandstorm.
Freya: Did you know the sandstorm was here for a thousand years...? And in all that time, it never disappeared, not even once.
Freya: Perhaps Brahne is behind all this.
Zidane: ......
* No doubt; Brahne is behind this
Zidane: It's gotta be Brahne.
Freya: I thought you'd feel the same way.
* What about that guy who was with Brahne?
Zidane: Actually, I'm more concerned about who that guy with Brahne in Burmecia was.
Freya: That man... I wonder who he was...
* Right now, my mind's only on Dagger
Zidane: Who cares? Dagger's the only thing on my mind right now.
Freya: That girl...
Freya: She's Brahne's daughter.
Zidane: Yeah. So what?
Freya: ......
Freya: Zidane, I'm going to head down to find out why the sandstorm disappeared.
Zidane: Hey, I was thinking the same thing!
Zidane: Let's go together.
Zidane: I'm gonna go find Vivi and Quina. I'll meet you at the town entrance.

Cathedral interior
Freya: Sir Fratley, I...
Freya: I have missed you so much...
Freya: I began my search for you immediately after you left Burmecia.
Freya: Where have you been all these years...?
Freya: To what corners of the world have you traveled?
Freya: My dear Fratley...
Freya: I climbed the highest mountains only to hear rumors of your victories...
Freya: I searched the deepest valleys only to find your footsteps.
Freya: But I never found you.
Freya: And in the end, I heard something...
Freya: Something unbearable!
Fratley: Freya, you say?
Fratley: I believe this is the first time we have met...
Freya: What...did you just say?
Fratley: I'm sorry, but I cannot remember you for the life of me...
Freya: Y-You jest!
Freya: You cannot have forgotten me!
Freya: It's me, Freya! Freya of Burmecia!!
He goes to the balcony.
Fratley: I am sorry...
Freya: No...
Zidane: Hey, wait a minute!
Zidane: You can't be serious!
Zidane: It's Freya, your lost love!
Zidane: How could you forget her!?
Zidane: Well, say something!!!
Freya: That is enough, Zidane...
Zidane: What!!!?
Zidane: You've been searching for this guy for years, and now he's right here!
King of Burmecia: Fratley!
King of Burmecia: Do you remember me, the King of Burmecia?
Fratley: Not at all, I'm afraid.
King of Burmecia: Impossible! Have you forgotten everything that has passed!?
King of Burmecia: Then let me ask you this: What brought you back to Burmecia?
King of Burmecia: Is it not because you learned of the crisis here in Cleyra, whose people are our brothers?
Fratley: As a matter of fact...
(Voice): As a matter of fact, I'll tell ya!
(Zidane/King of Burmecia): Puck!
(Freya): Prince Puck!
(Fratley): Lord Puck!
Puck: I found Fratley during my travels around the world!
Puck: And you guessed it, he didn't know who I was!
Puck: Or even who he was!
Puck: But when Burmecia was attacked and he heard that Cleyra was in danger...
Puck: His faint memories as a dragon knight called him back here!
Fratley: Dragon knight...
Fratley: Yes, I was once called that...
Fratley: But now, that is all I can remember...
Freya: Fratley...
Fratley: I must go.
He leaves.
Zidane: Freya, aren't you gonna follow him?
Freya: No...
Freya: I am happy simply knowing that Sir Fratley still lives.
Puck: I'm sorry, Freya.
Puck: I knew you weren't ready to see him, but with Cleyra under attack and all...
Freya: I need no such courtesy, Highness.
Puck: Uh...well, I'm gonna go after Fratley!
(Puck): Later!
He leaves, knocking the entering Vivi over.
King of Burmecia: Wait, Puck! I have not seen you in ages!
Vivi: Wh-What? That was Puck?
Vivi: So, what happened?
Vivi: What's the matter, Freya? Are you crying?
Freya: Ahahaha...
Freya: What irony.
Freya: To find the man about whom I have dreamed endlessly...
Freya: ...only to discover that he cannot even remember who I am!
She stands.
Freya: Come, Zidane! The enemy's hand has not been stilled!
Freya: We must regroup!
(Zidane): Freya...
(Voice): Eeeeek!
Beatrix is holding a sword to the High Priest's neck.
Cleyran High Priest: Eeeeek! Have mercy!
Beatrix: Hmph! Pathetic rodents!
Beatrix: You fail to grasp the true power of this jewel!
She flips it up with her sword and catches it.
Cleyran High Priest: Our magic stone!
Beatrix: Now that I have this jewel, I am through with your city!
She leaves.
(Zidane): Wait!
(Freya): Halt, villain!

(Zidane): Think you can get away?
(Beatrix): Get away?
Beatrix: Hahaha.
(Beatrix): You're a bigger fool than I imagined...
Beatrix: Have you forgotten how badly I beat you back in Burmecia?
Freya: So, you are more the fool for not finishing what you started!
Vivi: You're gonna pay!
Quina: I find no tasties in this town, so we cook you for breakfast!
Beatrix: Then allow me to shatter your delusions of grandeur.
Battle: Beatrix
* (After so long)

She uses Stock Break, reducing everyone to 1HP.
(Beatrix): I shall leave with the jewel now.

Beatrix: Black mages, our work here is done. Commence withdrawal immediately!
A black mage enters a teleport bubble, and is followed by Beatrix.
Zidane: Hey, they disappeared!
Zidane: What now, Freya?
Freya: Good question...
Another mage enters.
Freya: Zidane! Look out behind you!
It teleports.
Zidane: There! I'm gonna follow 'em!
Zidane: Everyone follow me!
He leaps into the bubble, and it flies away.
Vivi: Zidane! He's gone!
Freya: I highly doubt I will ever return to this place...
Freya: Besides, this may be your last chance to find the truth about who you are...
Freya: Come, Vivi! Show us your courage!
Freya follows another mage.
Vivi: Oh no... Freya's gone, too!
Vivi follows yet another.
Quina: I no like heights...
Quina just runs off.
