Back at Leona's:
Anabelle and Apple are waiting for them.
Viktor:
"Hey, what a surprise. I was watching the meeting too. It was rough, but you did well."
Anabelle:
"Well, just part of my job. Nobody's giving full cooperation, but nobody wants anyone destroyed by Highland either."
Viktor:
"So what is it? You didn't come here to make small talk."
Anabelle:
"Viktor, I need you to somehow slow down the Highland Army. It will take 7 days to gather all of the State forces. But the Highland Army will arrive here in 5 days. 2 days would be enough. Please just buy us 2 days."
Apple:
"2 days....We battle outside Muse, and maybe bloody their noses a little. Yeah, I think I can buy you 2 days."
Viktor:
"You'll never change. You ask for crazy things like they're nothing. The idea of us alone trying to stop that Luca Blight...."
Anabelle:
"I'm counting on you, Viktor. Also, we'll be expecting reinforcements from the Matilda Knights to arrive early."
Flik:
"Well if it's just slowing them down, I think I can handle it."
Anabelle:
"Thanks, handsome."
Viktor:
"Well err...hey, that's my job.... Plus if it's a request from a fine lady like you, I could never refuse."
Flik:
".........................."
Jowy:
"Ummm........ Please let us fight with you."
Anabelle:
"Jowy, Riou.... It was wrong of me to get you guys involved in this whole mess. Forgive me. But you don't need to do any more than you already have. This is a problem for us adults."
Jowy:
"No...we want to fight. We'll help you slow down the Highland Army....Riou, you'll fight too, won't you?"
Riou:
[ ] "Well I....."
[x] "Of course."
Anabelle:
"Riou, Jowy, Nanami. ....Don't get yourself killed. When the battle is over, come back and visit me. I'll tell you all about Master Genkaku."
Nanami:
"Okay....Yes, yes!"
Anabelle:
"Well, I've got to get back. Viktor, do a good job for us. I know you will."
Viktor:
"Yeah, well you're right."
Fade to an inconsequential scene of Nanami waking Riou and Jowy. They go downstairs.
Apple:
"The Highland Army advance forces are close. If we can beat them, we'll have done our job."
Viktor:
"Our job isn't to defeat the entire Highland Army. If we can slow them down, it'll be enough. But remember, if we don't protect Muse and it falls to Highland, it's all over. So give it all you've got!"
Flik:
"Everyone, gird yourselves for battle. We'll go when preparations are complete."
Viktor:
"Hey, are you already?"
Riou:
[x] "Yes."
[ ] "Not yet."
Viktor:
"Good, we're just about ready."
Battle screen:
Apple:
"I can see the Highland Army's advance troops."
Solon Jhee:
"It's that guy, Viktor, again!!! This time I'll kick his ass!"
Viktor:
"Don't worry. All we've got to do is slow them down."
Apple:
"If we can defeat Solon Jhee's unit or buy enough time, they should retreat."
Battle commences.
Viktor:
"Hey, Flik, see someone you recognize?"
Flik:
"Gilbert is it?..... I can't believe he's working for Highland."
Apple:
"Do you....know him? If only you could get him to switch sides..."
More battling. Miklotov and his units arrive.
Miklotov:
"I am Miklotov, Captain of the Blue Knights of Matilda. I'm here to assist Sir Viktor of Muse."
Flik:
"Gilbert!!! How can you fight for Highland..."
Gilbert:
". . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
Flik:
"Have you become the kind of man who can sit idly while villages burn and children die screaming??? Well....have you!!!!"
Gilbert:
"Talk......"
More battling.
Viktor:
"You've lost your touch!"
Gilbert:
"Why you worthless..... Grrr.........."
Flik:
"How about it, Gilbert? Why don't you join our side? A proud warrior like you shouldn't take money from a scum like Luca Blight!!!"
Gilbert:
"I guess this.... is fate..."
"Okay, I'll do it."
Gilbert changes sides.
Highland Army:
"Lord Jhee!!! The mercenaries!!!"
Solon Jhee:
"Gilbert!!! You dare betray us!!!!"
Gilbert:
"Sorry. I'll send you a refund."
(And that line is why Gilbert is cool.)
More battling. Eventually, Camus appears.
Camus:
"Miklotov, Commander Gorudo orders us to withdraw our forces immediately."
Miklotov:
"What are you saying, Camus!! Our knights should turn our backs on the enemy and run?!!!"
Camus:
"It's a knight's duty to follow the orders of his liege lord. Have you forgotten your oath?"
Miklotov:
"Damn............."
The knights depart.
Flik:
"What's the matter with them!! They're not going to defend Muse!!!!"
Viktor:
"It looks like someone is up to some nasty tricks here. If Muse falls, next it'll be your necks on the line...."
Jowy:
". . . . . . . . . . . ."
More battling. *yawn*
Solon Jhee:
"Ha. Today was just a greeting. Tomorrow, your head will decorating the walls of this city!"
(Ah, the irony...)
Flik:
"Well try it, if you've got the guts."
The Highland Army withdraws.
Apple:
"Somehow..... we managed to slow them down."
(Skipping a Jowy-acting-mysterious and a Nanami-waking-Jowy-and-Riou scene.)
At Leona's:
The group comes down the stairs to where Viktor and Flik are drinking.
Viktor:
"Oh, Riou and Jowy, you're both awake."
Nanami:
"I'm here too."
Viktor:
"Oh? Sorry, sorry. You're going to see Anabelle today, aren't you? Tell her what a great job I did, okay."
Nanami:
"Who did a great job???"
Flik:
"Ha ha ha ha ha. That's right. Anyway, don't go outside of the city. The Highland Army is all around."
Jowy:
"Okay, let's go, Riou. Don't you want to hear about Master Genkaku?"
City Hall:
Nanami:
"Lady Anabelle....... I wonder what she knows about Grandpa Genkaku?"
They enter Anabelle's room. Anabelle, Jess, Granmeyer, and Gustav are there.
Granmeyer:
"Lord Gustav, are you saying that Tinto City will not cooperate?"
Gustav:
"That's not what I'm saying. But as long as we don't know the Highland Army's intentions, I'm not going to commit my troops."
Granmeyer:
"I think their intentions are clear. Perhaps you're just frightened?"
Gustav:
"How dare you! It was the South Window Army who retreated at the first sight of blood during the Scarlet Moon Empire war!"
Granmeyer:
"You're a fool.... War isn't a gambling game......."
Anabelle:
"Stop it, the both of you. It's no use arguing."
Gustav:
"In any case, we're not ready to commit troops. That's my decision."
Gustav leaves.
Anabelle:
"Whew.............."
Anabelle sees the children.
Anabelle:
"Forgive me, Riou, Nanami. As you can see, we're in the middle of negotiations. Could you come back this evening?"
Nanami:
"Yes, of course. Let's go, Riou, Jowy."
Riou and Nanami leave.
Jowy:
"Lady Anabelle...... Umm...may I ask you something?"
Anabelle:
"What is it?"
Jowy:
"Why are you fighting, Lady? What do you hope to get from this war?"
Anabelle:
"I'll get nothing from it. I fight so we won't lose. I was born in Muse, raised in Muse. It's natural that I want to protect her."
Jowy:
".........................."
Jowy leaves.
Nanami:
"I was still debating...... Well, she's busy, so let's go."
Back at Leona's:
Viktor is drinking at a different table than his usual one. Leona and Pilika stand near the bar; Flik is facing Pilika. Flik turns as the group enters.
Flik:
"That was fast. Didn't you get to see Anabelle?"
Nanami:
"We saw her, but she told us to come back at night. She was really busy. It looked like she was arguing about something."
Flik:
"Yeah, well...that figures. She hasn't really seen with her own eyes how scary Blight is."
Pilika pushes past Flik and runs to Jowy. She hops excitedly in front of him. Then a question mark appears over her head.
Pilika:
"................????"
Jowy:
"I'm sorry...........Pilika. Nanami, could you play with Pilika for a little while?"
Nanami:
"Huh? What? .....sure I can....but what's up?"
Jowy:
"..............................."
Nanami:
"Over here, Pilika. Come play with me."
Jowy:
"I'm sorry....Pilika."
Jowy leaves. (Skipping another scene of Jowy acting mysterious.)
