After finding Pilika in the ruins of Toto:
Jowy is holding Pilika. Pilika is crying. The rest of the group stands and watches. (This time, my party was Riou (Hero), Jowy, Nanami, Kinnison, Shiro, and Rikimaru. Everyone but Riou and Jowy are optional party-members in this part of the storyline.)
Apple (off-screen):
"Somebody? Is somebody there?"
The group, except Jowy and Pilika, turn in the direction of Apple's voice. Apple walks into the scene.
Apple:
"You? You don't look like Highland soldiers. Are you survivors?"
Riou:
[x] "What happened here?"
[ ] "Who are you?"
Apple:
"It's the work of the prince, Luca Blight. He looted and burned this village just to keep his army entertained. And next he'll.... Do you know a man named Viktor? He's a mercenary from near here. I've got no time left, so if you know him, please take me to him."
Jowy:
"Wait! This girl...Pilika... she's still crying."
Apple:
"There's no time. Drag her if you must, but we have to go."
Apple and Pilika join the convoy. Fade to outside of town.
Go back into Toto. Hanna stands looking at the remains of the inn.
Hanna:
"Unh....it's my fault.... My power wasn't enough.... I couldn't protect this village... So my journey was just a waste of time...."
(Yes, thank you, Hanna, for that lovely bit of gratuitous guilt and angst. We're not going to get enough of it from Jowy later, you know...)
Riou:
[x] "Let's fight together."
[ ] "You should hurry up and escape."
Hanna:
"Hmm. So there's still a chance for me to wield my sword? In that case, I'll join you."
Go to fort.
In front of the fort:
Apple:
"This is Viktor's fortress. Let's hurry."
(How does she know if she's never been there? After all, she asked a bunch of kids to help her find the place...)
They enter the fort.
Fade to the meeting room. Viktor and Flik stand on one side of the table. The group stands on the other. The random soldier at his desk is also there.
Viktor:
"Hey, it's Apple, isn't it? It's been a long time."
Apple:
"How dare you?! You're here like the godfather of all mercenaries and you don't even let us know? We were worried!!!"
(Um... if she was worried--thinking he was dead because of the last game--how did she know about him being here? I assume that if she's also working for Muse or the State, someone from Muse told her about Viktor, but then why would she need help finding the place?)
Flik steams.
Flik:
"You've got some nerve, Viktor! I can't believe it! Didn't you say you'd keep in contact?!!"
Viktor sweattles.
Viktor:
"Huh? No I...aha aha ahem. Anyway, Apple, what are you doing here? Doing some sightseeing?"
Apple:
"Unfortunately not. Luca Blight attacked Toto Village. I came to relay word of that."
Flik:
"Luca...the royal prince?"
Apple:
"Yes, it was horrible. He looted what he could and then burned everything to the ground. This child is the only survivor."
Viktor:
"Damn! What is he up to..."
Apple:
"Luca Blight has his eyes set on an invasion of the City-State. This was just a warm up. This fort is in his way. If he leaves it, he'd be opening himself up to an attack from behind when he invades Muse."
Viktor:
"You're joking. What about the peace treaty?"
Apple:
"Luca set things up so it looked like the State broke the peace treaty with a surprise attack. Now he's screaming for all citizens of Highland to take revenge for the lives of the young men slain in the attack."
Jowy:
"So that's how it is...."
(Okay, Jowy becomes a pretty good strategist later, but somehow here, he's a moron. Rowd already revealed Luca's plan to Jowy and Riou back when they were in that cell in the Unicorn Brigade Headquarters.)
Flik:
"Gimme a break. He can't fool anyone with that dog and pony show."
(Since Shiro was in my party, I really wanted him to bark or snarl here...)
Viktor:
"Riou, Jowy, good work. We have some important strategy to discuss, but you must be tired. Why don't you go to your quarters and get some rest."
Fade to black.
Fade to a room in the basement. Pilika is in one of the beds. Riou and Jowy are there.
Jowy:
"Riou? She finally cried herself to sleep........ Poor girl........"
"Riou.... I just don't know who to feel loyal to... I thought I was a Highlander and then they hunted us down. But I always thought someday we could go back to Highland. The Unicorn Brigade massacre, Captain Rowd's betrayal, Toto Village burning down...I just don't know who to trust anymore."
Riou:
[x] "You can trust me."
[ ] "I don't know either."
Jowy:
"I know. I know I can... Thanks, Riou."
Leona enters.
Leona:
"There you are. Viktor is calling for you. What's wrong? You both look so glum."
(Oh, a village burning down wouldn't be enough to make anyone glum, would it, Leona? ... And she's supposed to be from Toto...)
Jowy:
"Let's go, Riou."
Go to the meeting room. Apple, Viktor, and Flik are there. There are a couple of spears propped up next to Viktor.
Viktor:
"Riou, Jowy, I have a favor to ask. I don't know how long this fort is gonna last against Luca Blight, but we've decided to fight."
Flik:
"I'm going to Muse to request reinforcements."
Apple:
"I'm going to look for a good place to lay some traps."
Viktor:
"I'll gather soldiers and weapons. We'll use whatever we can find. Take a look at this, Riou, Jowy."
Viktor goes to the spears.
Viktor:
"These are called Fire Spears. They're weapons forged years ago by the Dwarves. They shoot fire from their tips. We've got several of these 'Fire Spears' in the fort's storeroom. They could be very useful, but they're all rusted over."
(And now for my favorite bit of Flik/Viktor banter:)
Flik:
"I told you to take care of your toys."
Viktor steams.
Viktor:
"Quiet. Anyway, I need them fixed, but only one man can do it. A man who lives near here named Tsai of the Divine Spear. Riou, Jowy, I want you to find Tsai. Will you do it?"
Riou:
[x] "Of course."
[ ] "We can't do it."
Viktor:
"Really? Thanks. I'm counting on you."
Flik:
"I got some money together for you to give to Tsai. Don't spend it along the way."
Flik gives 2000 potch to Riou.
Apple:
"Tsai lives near Ryube Village. He moved into the mountains cause he likes privacy... Anyway go find Tsai. We're counting on you."
Jowy:
"Let's go, Riou."
They go to Ryube. They get Tsai to join. They head back down the mountain and discover...
Luca Blight's Big BBQ Party!
