The Fell Dragon Sombron/Script

Introduction

The Divine Dragon's army rushes to Destinea Cathedral to rescue King Morion.

When selecting chapter

Marth: Are you ready, Alear? Destinea Cathedral is our enemy's home base. I suggest we stock up on supplies.

Opening

Hortensia and Rosado are looking out of a window at Destinea Cathedral.

Hortensia: Aw, the snow's really coming down out there.

Rosado: Yeah, the cathedral always gets hit harder than anywhere else, huh?

Hortensia: And Ivy's late. We've been waiting here for ages. What if she never comes? Maybe things went bad at Brodia Castle and she didn't survive...

Rosado: No way! Princess Ivy can handle herself!

Hortensia: Thanks, Rosado. You're sweet. Ugh... Why is this happening, anyway? Ever since Lord Sombron was released, Father's been acting weird. He used to be so kind to me! But since they came into the picture, it's like I hardly exist.

Rosado: You mean the ones who showed up at Elusia Castle with Lord Sombron?

Hortensia: Yeah. That kid with the hood and the four weirdos who follow her around. Father probably only likes them because they brought him so many rings. I thought if I could get him some, he might praise me like he used to... Heh, look how that turned out!

Rosado: I'm sorry, Hortensia...

Hortensia: It's not your fault. What happened at the Grand Crossing...that was all me. I just... I don't have any clue what Father's up to. I don't know why he wants the rings or what this ritual's about. I'm totally in the dark!

Goldmary enters.

Goldmary: Hortensia? Pardon me for interrupting.

Hortensia: Hey, Goldmary.

Goldmary: King Hyacinth has asked you to join him at the altar. And he wants you to have this.

Hortensia: An Emblem Ring?

Rosado: Whoa, the king gave you another one, huh?

Goldmary: He said you should wear it and prepare yourself for battle.

Hortensia: That must mean the Divine Dragon is coming. Good. I'll get some answers about what happened at Brodia Castle. Let's go, you two.

Meanwhile, Alear and their army is gathered outside the cathedral.

Alear: We've arrived. Destinea Cathedral. Veyle's directions really did help. Let's head inside, quickly.

Marth: Hold on a moment.

Alear: What is it, Marth?

Marth: I sense the Fell Dragon's presence. He's waiting for us inside the cathedral.

Alear: ...

Marth: We're not ready to fight him. If the ritual has been completed, we should retreat. And even if it hasn't, I think we had best escape at the first sign of danger.

Alear: You mean, leave King Morion behind?

Marth: I'm worried about all this. We shouldn't stay any longer than we have to. Whatever we do, we must avoid a direct encounter with the Fell Dragon.

Alear: It'll be all right. Princess Ivy said that Sombron can hardly move, remember? Plus, we have half of the Emblem Rings. Even if they had the rest, we'd be evenly matched.

Marth: It is true that with the allies we've gained, we are formidable. But I urge you, as our leader─do not fall prey to overconfidence.

Alear: Perhaps I am being too bold. Still, despite everything we're facing, I'm calm. I think it's because you're here, Marth.

Marth: Me?

Alear: With you and the other Emblems supporting us, we're all feeling more courageous. I hope you'll always stay with us.

Marth: We're not going anywhere. We will remain by your side until the end of this journey.

Alear: Thank you. Now, is everyone ready? It's time to put a stop to this ritual and bring King Morion home.

Movie - King Morion Corrupted

Alear, Emblem Marth, Diamant, Alcryst and Alfred are standing opposite King Hyacinth and Princess Hortensia at the altar.

Hyacinth: I bid you welcome to Destinea Cathedral. We're so happy to greet you, loathsome Divine Dragon.

Alear takes a step forwards.

Alear: Spare us your lies.

Hyacinth: Alas, your presence indicates that Ivy lost her battle. A predictable outcome, of course. You don't appear to have taken her captive. I assume her body has been left for the birds.

Hortensia's face drops.

Hortensia: You mean my sister...is dead?

Alear: Where have you hidden King Morion?

Hyacinth: All will be known in due time.

Alear: Tell us─now!

Alfred: Look, over there! There's someone beside the altar.

Alcryst: Can it be... Diamant, it's Father─he's alive!

A staggering Morion is standing at the fat end of the room with his back turned.

Diamant: Don't worry, Father! We're here to save you!

Morion: Urgh...

Diamant: Something's wrong...

Morion turns around. His skin has lost its color and his eyes are a glowing red. He leans back and roars.

Morion: Ngh... Raaaaaargh!

Diamant: Father!

Alear: He's been...

Hyacinth: It appears you were a few moments too late. As you can see, the ritual has been carried out.

Diamant: Hyacinth... You bastard!

Marth: We have to leave at once, Alear. Call a retreat without delay.

Alear: We can't!

Marth: King Morion is beyond our aid.

Alcryst: What do you mean? You would have us...leave our own father behind? I cannot! I will not abandon him here!

Diamant: The only option is to fight Hyacinth. I won't flee after...after what he has done!

Alear: Diamant... Alcryst...

Hyacinth: Foolish, but I'm not a bit surprised. Hm.

The massive doors close behind the Divine Dragon's army.

Alear: The doors!

Marth: Yes. We're trapped within!

Hyacinth: This grand cathedral will serve as your grave. Thanks to your impetuousness, you brought the rings unto my very hand.

Alear: Hyacinth, you...

Alcryst: You're a monster... That's our father!

Diamant: You're going to pay for this. Here and now!

Alear: So be it, Hyacinth. Now we fight!

Alear draws their sword. Everyone else take a stance.

Battle

After preparations

Morion: Raaargh...

Alcryst: Father, it's me! It's your son!

Alfred: Isn't there some way we can change him back?

Marth: There's nothing we can do. The king you knew is gone.

Alear: No...

Diamant: ... We have to end this.

Alcryst: What are you saying, Brother?

Diamant: You think Father would want to live like this? As this...abomination fighting for Hyacinth? We have to let him die as the proud, noble man he was. As the king of Brodia.

Alcryst: I don't know if I can do this...

Alear: We must. We will free King Morion's soul... and take down Hyacinth.

When the door is opened or destroyed

Marth: With that Emblem at his side, King Hyacinth will be able to fire arrows from a great distance. Let us proceed with caution.

When Hyacinth creates Illusory Doubles

Alear: There are so many of him! How is this possible?

Marth: He used the Emblem to create doubles. Careful. We do not know what they're capable of.

Battle quotes

“	Hyacinth: Tell me. How do you feel about the new Brodian king? Once Lord Sombron drank his blood, we had no need of him. But we corrupted him...for you. Am I not generous? You can show your gratitude by dying.	”	— Hyacinth battle quote

“	Diamant: This is our last sparring match, isn't it, Father? When I was a boy, you taught me the meaning of strength.

Now I take on that mantle. Morion: Uraaargh! Diamant: Was I a good son? I should have asked you that sooner. You instilled in me pride and strength. But most importantly...you gave me your love. I should have told you what that meant.	”	— Diamant vs. Morion

“	Alcryst: Father... If you have to die, let it be by my hand. This would be an unbearable burden for Diamant. So I... I must... Morion: Raaargh! Alcryst: I must do this, Father!

Hortensia: See, I knew it! You're lying! I'm going to make you pay for what you did!	”	— Alear vs. Hortensia

Post Battle

Alear: We've won, Hyacinth. It's over.

Hyacinth: Get away! Do not come near me!

Diamant draws his sword.

Diamant: And now, I avenge my father. HYAH!

He swings it with all his might.

Hyacinth: Aah!

Suddenly the hooded figure appears beside Hyacinth and casts a spell, interrupting Diamant's swing.

Diamant: Urgh!

Alear: That spell...

Hooded Figure: Heh...

Alear: It's you. The one who killed my mother.

Hyacinth: Oh, thank you, thank you! I thought I was finished there.

Hooded Figure: I'm not being merciful. Merely pragmatic. The ritual was a success. The Fell Dragon will be here in a moment.

Hyacinth: He can move once again? That means the sacrifice worked!

Alear: ...

Veyle: Here he comes.

Movie - Fell Dragon Sombron

Sombron is once again resurrected. He stands in front of the altar in his humanoid form. Hyacinth in kneeling in front of him

Hyacinth: Haha... Lord Sombron!

Hyacinth rises. He is overjoyed.

Sombron: Hmm... It seems my powers have returned because of you.

Hyacinth: It was an honor, my lord.

He bows.

Sombron: And yet, I still hunger for more.

Hyacinth: Please, my lord, devour these fools.

Sombron: Hahaha... Alas, I have a different meal in mind.

Sombron steps forward, towards Hyacinth.

Hyacinth: Huh?

Sombron: Only sovereign blood will quell my hunger. You understand.

Hyacinth is sweating. Sombron raises a hand to his chin, lifting his heads.

Sombron: I want your blood...and I will take it!

Hyacinth scuttles backwards as Sombron transforms into his Fell Dragon form. He raises his mouth towards the sky as the terrified Hyacinth attempts to escape, only to be stopped by Sombron's tail grabbing him. Sombron lifts him up to his gaping maw and bites down on the small monarch, crushing him in an instant. The only remains of him is the Ring of the Lady of the Plains hitting the floor where the king once stood.

Hortensia: AH! FATHER!

Alear: King Hyacinth...

Alfred: I thought he and the Fell Dragon were on the same side.

Hooded Figure: Hahaha! Now that was entertaining.

Hortensia: What?!

Hooded Figure: Hehehe, did you see his face? The shock! The betrayal!

Hortensia: Stop laughing! What's wrong with you?

Hortensia runs up to the hooded figure and pulls down their hood, revealing that the person underneath it is... Veyle?

Veyle: ...

Alear: Is that...Veyle?

Veyle: You irritating girl.

Veyle explodes with a blast of fell energy.

Hortensia: Ahh!

Veyle: You had to go and ruin my fun. This is why I detest humans.

Alear: No, it can't be. But...that's the bandage I used to dress her wound.

Veyle: I should introduce myself. I am Sombron's daughter, the Fell Princess. You may call me Veyle. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

Alear: Veyle... What do you mean, "the Fell Princess"? How could you deceive us like this?

Veyle: Deceive you? We've never even spoken before.

Alear: What?!

Sombron: Enough idle chatter, Veyle. Take the rings.

Suddenly four corrupted appear behind Veyle.

Veyle: As you wish, Father.

Movie - Stolen Allies

Alear, Vander, and Alfred, along with the six Emblems they have collected thus far are standing across from Sombron as Zephia appears from the entrance alongside three other people. The Divine Dragon and their allies are now surrounded on both sides. Zephia gestures to Alear.

Zephia: Well, well, well! If it isn't the Divine Dragon and their merry band. Fancy running into you here.

Alear: It's you again.

Alfred: I know you! You're the wretch who stormed Firene Castle!

Zephia: Wretch? Not much of a greeting, that. But I guess the fault is mine for not properly introducing myself. You have my apologies for my man's actions in Firene. I take responsibility for what he's done. Take comfort in the fact I killed him myself.

Alfred: What?!

Zephia: As for who I am, my name is Zephia. I am a Mage Dragon of great power...and Lord Sombron's humble servant in all things. As for my companions here...they are like family to me. Together, we are known as the Four Hounds.

Griss: Hah! You tell yourself that. She's a dragon, and the rest of us are humans. Family, she calls us... The name's Griss, and I'm not the prisoner-taking type.

Marni: Call me Marni. I heard we'd be meeting some royalty today...but you look like a bunch of losers to me.

Mauvier: I am Mauvier. The pleasure is all mine. Lady Veyle has told us much about you.

Alear: I don't care what you call yourselves. You're in our way. Now stand aside! Come on. We can fight our way past them. Everyone, engage with Emblems!

Alear, Vander and Alfred raise their hands to engage. The are ready to fight alongside the Emblems.

Veyle: Hm-hm-hm...

Veyle briefly pulses with fell magic, and Alear looks at their hand.

Alear: Huh? The rings!

Veyle: Something the matter?

Alear: Ah!

Veyle: The Draconic Time Crystal. Of course, you had it with you all along. Sorry, but I just had to take it back again. I grabbed it during your little chat with Zephia.

Veyle is still standing right beside her father, but she now has all of Alear's Emblem Rings.

Veyle: Amazing you didn't notice. You must not be very bright.

Alear: Hold on... You used it?

Veyle: Yes. Now all your rings are here, right where they belong.

Alear: Give... Give them back!

Veyle: Six, eh? I have to admit, I'm impressed. Father. The Emblem Rings.

Veyle hands the Rings over to Sombron.

Alear: ...

Sombron: Well done. Now the rings are in my possession. Good. Now, to purge them of any trace of Divine Dragon power. To begin... The Ring of the Hero-King.

He brings Marth's ring up to his face.

Alear: Marth!

Sombron: Shine on, Emblem of Beginnings.

Marth: Argh... Ah... Ah! AAH! ...

Marth grabs his head in anguish but falls silent as he is transformed into a Dark Emblem.

Alear: Marth?! Marth, speak to me! Please!

Veyle: It's no use. My father's fell power is now coursing through the Emblem Ring. He's no longer the sweet little Marth you knew.

Alear: No, please...

Sombron: Provide for us, Emblem of the Holy War.

Sigurd too is transformed into a Dark Emblem.

Alear: Sigurd!

Sombron: Care for us, Emblem of Echoes. Heal us, Emblem of Dawn.

Celica and Micaiah become Dark Emblems as well.

Alear: Celica! Micaiah! Stop it...just stop!

Alear falls to their knees.

Sombron: Free us, Emblem of Genealogy. Rise up, Emblem of Binding.

Leif and Roy fall as the last two Emblems. All of Alear's former allies are now turned, the only people remaining by the Divine Dragon being Alfred and Vander.

Alear: Leif! Roy! I can't do this without you...

Veyle: Hahaha! Say goodbye to your beloved Emblems. Now they belong to us. Oh, how I wanted these two. Marth...and Sigurd. After killing Lumera, I was forced to leave them back there with you. Do you have any idea how irritating that was for me?!

Alear stands back up.

Alear: Veyle!

Vander: We must retreat, Divine One!

Veyle: Oh...so now you want to turn tail and run? We have all your rings, and you have nothing. Abandon hope. You will all die.

Alear: Give them back. Give them back to me!
