World of Holy War/Script
Part 1: Baldr's Holy Knight
Pre-Battle
Veronica: Arden, come here, and be quick. It's time you put your life on the line for Sigurd. Keep him safe, now. Strong and tough, I grant you. But why must you be so slow?
Arden: Hey! Strong and tough is good. I like that. But slow! Why is it always slow?
Sigurd: Come now, Arden. Do this for me. You're the only one I can rely on right now.
Arden: All right, all right. I'll give it everything I got, same as always. Just don't leave me behind!
Sigurd: The fight begins!
Post-Battle
Veronica: You've done enough, Arden. Stand down.
Arden: Got it! Off I go!
Part 2: Od's Swordswoman
Pre-Battle
Loki: Oh, my. Here they come. So punctual! It's your turn, dear. Use that blade of yours to send our enemies to the heavens, as our contract demands. Is that understood, Princess Ayra?
Ayra: Yes, yes. But know that if you fail to uphold your end of the bargain, you'll have to answer to me. And I'd follow you to the depths of hell just to lay hands on that neck of yours, if it came to that.
Loki: Ooh, scary! But don't worry! Fight as fiercely as I know you can, and I'll be happy to send you back home. Now show me what you're really made of. There's a dear.
Post-Battle
Loki: Oh, what a shame. I guess I won't be freeing you just yet, Princess. As the contract stipulates, it's time for you to retreat. Got it?
Ayra: Tch...
Part 3: Bound by Blood
Pre-Battle
Veronica: Brother... I...
Deirdre: Princess Veronica, you look so pale. Is everything all right?
Veronica: My brother is on a journey... He told me he planned to search for a cure for the both of us... I don't quite understand what he means. Neither of us is sick...
Deirdre: Oh, princess... You're not unlike me, are you?
Veronica: In what way?
Deirdre: Bound by the blood you were born with... And deprived of your own thoughts... You cannot even be with the ones you love. I understand this anguish...
Veronica: ... My brother told me to bring an end to all this fighting... But I don't know how to stop. Because that voice keeps whispering to me... "Kill Askr!"
Post-Battle
Sigurd: A fine demonstration of strength. I thank you for it, for now we are freed...
Deirdre: Oh, Lord Sigurd...
Sigurd: Deirdre... Let's go home. Here and now, I swear this to you: I will never leave your side again.
Deirdre: Thank you...

Veronica: Did that do the trick?
Loki: Yes, thank you. I've had ample time to prepare for the rite. The rainbow bridge will become real... Soon, our king and his forces will invade. Hah! Picture it. Isn't it grand?
