Pre Mission

Shiori

Finn! Raleigh's back! The raid was a
success!

Rebel A

This is wonderful... My ol' mum can
finally rest in peace.

Rebel B

Our enemies have lost their weapons! I guess
the final battle's comin'... I'm so nervous.

Rebel C

You idiot, just enjoy yourself! It's a feast!
Drink up! Cheers, to Captain Astrid!

Shiori

Thank you for all your hard work, everyone!
I heard about what happened on the island!

Rebel A

It's thanks to you and Finn's information!
Cheers to the two of you!

Finn

(She's trying to keep the mood light. This is
a joyous occasion. I should do the same...)

Raleigh

...

Finn

Raleigh? You're not drinking?

Raleigh

Oh it's you, Finn. Yeah, I just can't seem to
get anything past my lips.

Finn

Yeah, me neither. I don't know why, but I
feel weirdly restless.

Finn

Thank goodness... welcome back, Raleigh!

Raleigh

C'mon, let's sit. I know you don't have much
reason to like me, but let's talk it out.

Finn

Right. And you have something on your mind
too, don't you?

Raleigh

...I can't stop thinking about the dragonfire.
Should we really have tossed it all out?

Finn

Well, once we learned how it was made, we
couldn't just let it go on, right?

Raleigh

Yeah. I know it was the right thing to do,
morally speaking.

Raleigh

But, when I think about what's ahead of us...
I'm scared, man.

Raleigh

I'm just a footsoldier. I've got no special
powers to stop the undead...

Raleigh

I know we're in a revolution, but after all this
is over, we still have a war to win.

Raleigh

Besides, dragonfire's a powerful weapon.
Anyone who can throw a bottle can use it.

Raleigh

It's a dangerous resource, so why hasn't
Ludmilla reacted to this yet?

Raleigh

I'm exhausted. The pressure felt like
it was going to crush me flat.

Finn

You're right. We haven't seen even a hint
of a counterattack, huh?

Raleigh

The Vanguard monitor every last crumb
in the city. All the dragonfire goes missing,

Raleigh

and you think Ludmilla hasn't noticed that?

Raleigh

I was sure Ludmilla would ride down our
necks at any moment up on those walls.

Raleigh

That's why I went along. But no, there was
nothing. It just doesn't feel right.

Finn

You're amazing, Raleigh. I was worried, but
I couldn't put those worries into words.

Raleigh

Stop it. It's just because I'm an
overthinking coward.

Finn

That's not true. You're just looking at the
big picture.

Finn

All I could do was distract myself by watching
the dragonfire pour out of the flasks.

Raleigh

...wait a minute. 'Pour?'

Shiori

But you pulled it off! You did great!

Finn

Huh? Yeah. Shiori and I were tasked with
pouring the dragonfire into the canals.

Raleigh

Into the canals?! Why would you ever
pour dragonfire into the canals?!

Finn

Huh...? Didn't Astrid tell you? We were
disposing of it...

Raleigh

Astrid told me you would be burying it
underground, casks and all!

Raleigh

Those casks are warded against explosions.
It's a safety feature.

Raleigh

I told Astrid that! So why would she have you
pour the dragonfire into the water?!

Finn

What?!

Raleigh

This is bad. The dragonfire is going to flow
along the waterways, into the city...!

Finn

But... it's like gunpowder, isn't it? Won't it
be useless after being diluted in water...?

Raleigh

No, it's much, much worse than gunpowder.

Astrid

Listen well, everyone! The raid on
Outcast Isle was a success!

Raleigh

It doesn't weaken in water. It's just going
to spread through the city!

Raleigh

If something triggers an explosion... all of
Last Bastion will be caught in the blast!

Finn

No...! Why would Astrid...?!

Astrid

I would like to propose a toast.

Raleigh

Astrid...?

Astrid

To all those who were sacrificed.
To all my loyal companions.

Astrid

Thanks to you all, my goal is nearly realized.
My revenge is at hand!

Finn

Revenge...? Astrid, what are you talking
about?

Astrid

Come, raise your glasses, my dear allies.
To you, at least, I grant a painless death.

Shiori

W-What?! This is—

Astrid

We rescued all the prisoners, and rid the
island of the Vanguard's evil!

Shiori

Hnngh!

Raleigh

Shiori, what's wrong?! Shiori!

Shiori

I...I can't move...
I...I can...thpeak...

Rebel A

Urgh! Grgh?! Wh-What is this...?!

Finn

Everyone else, too?!

Raleigh

It's poison! We haven't eaten yet, so that's
why we can still move...!

Astrid

You have done well. To the end of humanity,
and the beginning of eternity... Cheers!

Undead Army

...!

Rebel B

Agh...! How are there undead here...?!

Rebel C

Stop! Don't come closer! Graaagh...
Aaaaah!

Astrid

In addition, we have disposed of all the
dragonfire on the walls, just as planned!

Raleigh

Undead?! Astrid! Are you...?!

Astrid

Haha...
Hahaha!

Finn

Astrid's... undead too?! No...
NO!!

Raleigh

It's an explosion above ground! The
dragonfire has started to erupt!

Finn

We have to get to the surface! The walls
are crumbling...! Shiori, come with me!

Shiori

F-Finn... Raleigh... I... can't... mo...

Finn

I'll carry you. I can't let you die here!
Hajime would never forgive me!

Shiori

So I.. .am... a bur... den... once...
again...

Astrid

My apologies, but you will die here.
Along with the rest of Last Bastion.

Finn

Astrid... please, don't make us do this.
Move aside.

Astrid

Let us drink in celebration!
Tonight, we feast!

Astrid

I refuse. This is no longer about the
Vanguard or the Rebellion.

Astrid

All that live will become like me...
Endless, and eternal.

Astrid

You fools. If you had eaten like the rest,
your deaths would have been painless.

Raleigh

Damn it... guess I've got no choice.
Come on, then, freak!

Finn

Raleigh! Let me—!

Raleigh

No! You need to protect Shiori!
Don't worry. I won't lose to that thing!

Raleigh

I'm here because I want to do what's right.
I'm not gonna give up that easily!

Rebels

Yaaaaaaaaaah!!!
