and scriptures. The cold air and a musty
smell fill the library...

Underground Book Storage First Floor
[Female & male priests are lying prone at the bottom of the staircase. Simon is lying prone at the top of the staircase. Alma comes in.] Alma Simon!! [Alma runs up to Simon and kneels near him. Ramza comes in and kneels near Simon, too.] Alma Please answer me!! [Simon stands up on the knees, using hands as support, and looks at Alma.] Simon U, ugh... Alma... Why... are... you.... here? Alma What happened? Simon It's dangerous.... here. Hurry.... run. They... came for the Holy Stone 'Virgo'... Ramza Holy Stone!? Then Alma was right... [Simon looks at Ramza.] Simon The stone's been a royal treasure for generations... When Princess Ovelia came here, they gave it to us as proof of her status. Ramza Who are 'they'? Who's trying to get the stone? Simon You're Alma's older brother Ramza, aren't you? Don't get any more involved. You'll be killed..... [Through the door below Simon, that leads to the second underground floor, sounds] Man's voice Where is the Holy Stone!! Another voice Wait! It must be here somewhere! Look for it! Another voice We can go underground from here. Let's go!! Ramza I'm a fugitive, branded by the church as a 'heretic'. Is it because of the stone? Please tell me. Who are they? Simon High Priest and his sect are trying to regain power. First, they're reducing Larg and Goltana's military power by causing in-fighting. If the war drags on, it not only reduces their power, but trust in the royal family. Ramza What's the real reason for collecting the stones... and reviving the Zodiac Braves? Simon To gain the people's trust, of course. Ramza But the Cardinal's already joined Lucavi. If it's only the stone's power, it'll be strong enough to replace the military. Funeral wants that power? Simon You're different from your brothers. More like Balbanes. Perhaps you might be able to destroy their ambition. [Ramza stands up and looks at Alma.] Ramza You stay here. I'll go after them. [Alma stands up.] Alma I'll go with you! Ramza We can't leave Simon alone. Hide in a safe place! Alma ....OK, I will. [Ramza gives 2 Holy Stones to sister.] Ramza Hold on to this stones, just in case. If I don't come back, make sure to throw it in Bugros Sea. OK? [Alma turns away and kneels near Simon.] Alma I regret I can't help you. I wish I were born a man... Ramza Don't be silly. You're the only one I trust. [Alma looks at Ramza.] Alma Brother.... Ramza Take care of Simon! [Ramza goes to the second underground floor...]

[Enemies were defeated. Izlude's voice flies out of the third floor.] Izlude Wow! Is this 'Virgo'? How beautiful!! Ramza Underground! Let's go! BONUS MONEY: 19,300 Gil WAR TROPHIES: Battle Dict

Izlude Why do you go against us, Ramza? Though you're a Beoulve, you don't obey your brothers. Why? Ramza It's because I'm a Beoulve that I don't obey them! The name shouldn't be used for self-gain, but rather for divine 'justice'! During the War, my father fought and died to save the people from invasion... Beoulves must not fight for a defunct royal family, but only for Noble rights! Izlude Then, let's fight together! Our goals are the same! Listen well, Ramza! The Glabados want a world where all people are equal! St. Ajora's ideal world, is 'God's world'! You know people don't trust the royal family or nobility! We must do something before Ivalice is ruined!! Ramza You started this war! Was that the will of God? Izlude Certain sacrifices must be made for the revolution! Decadent royalty and nobles must pay! For the people! Now, cooperate with us. As Delita did! Ramza It sounds good when you say 'for the people', but what you really want is... a stronger army than the Knights, and the evil power to control the people. Izlude 'Evil power'? No, the stone is 'holy'! We want to guide people by God's miracle! Never "evil power"! Ramza You know the Cardinal joined Lucavi, right? If that's not 'evil power', I don't know what is! Izlude What do you mean? You killed the Cardinal and took the stone from him! But he died because he was secretly collecting the Holy Stones for us. [Izlude attacks, but soon he understands: Ramza fights better.] Izlude Damn! I refuse to acknowledge his power!! I can't die... I must bring the stone back! Ramza, the next time I see you, will be your last! Remember! [Izlude & his men disappears.] Ramza Wait! Izlude!! BONUS MONEY: 13,900 Gil WAR TROPHIES: Defense Armlet
32.3. Underground Book Storage First Floor - Poor 'old friend'
[5 women: 2 archers, 2 knights & wizard are looking at Izlude. He holds Alma's hand. She tries to free her hand, but can't.] Alma No! Let go! [Wiegraf walks here through the door in the middle of the wall, which divides the room in two.] Wiegraf Izlude, leave this to me! You gotta get out of here with that girl! [Izlude pulls Alma to the exit.] Izlude You, come on this way! Alma Help me! Brother Ramza! [Izlude pulls Alma out. Wiegraf turns toward the other side of the room, where a door to the 2nd underground floor is located.] Wiegraf Here's Ramza! It would be a fatal mistake to underestimate them! Don't let your guard down!! Conditions for Winning: Defeat Wiegraf!

Wiegraf ...Miluda, finally I can avenge your death! [Wiegraf rushes toward Ramza.] Ramza Wiegraf!! You're still alive!! Wiegraf Been a long time, Ramza. Glad to see you again!! [Wiegraf 'greets' Ramza with sword. Ramza parries and they're talking while fighting.] Ramza You've become a dog for the church and have forsaken your ideals! Wiegraf You don't understand how hard it is to fulfill your ideal. Even if your ideal is great, it's just a dream if you can't fulfill it! So how can you fulfill it? You need power! That's the politics of the world! I can see it clearly now! You can't fulfill your dreams without power! You say I'm a dirty dog of the church! Go ahead!! I don't care! You can despise me, but I'll be laughing at the end. You'll all submit to me! Ramza I pity you, Wiegraf. Even if you couldn't fulfill your dream, your people wouldn't have forgotten you. Your ideals and actions inspired your people and even stirred up the old Nobles customs! Your actions have meaning only if they hold true to your ideals. Miluda and your old comrades would be disappointed with your current choice of actions. If you need someone else to fulfill your dreams, it loses its value. Wouldn't you agree? Wiegraf You say you are different? You say you depend on no one? You'll never know the feeling of the 'Meager'! You may think you know it, but you've never lived it! You'd never know! 'Reality' is far harsher than you can possibly imagine. Why do you blame me? You have no right to blame me! [Wiegraf fought like berserk and Ramza was forced to injure him badly.] Wiegraf Ouh....... No, I won't lose...! I'm... a member... of Zodiac Braves... with 'Aries'... I... can't... lose... like this! [Wiegraf disappears.] Ramza Where are you! Wiegraf!! BONUS MONEY: 32,800 - 33,000 Gil WAR TROPHIES: 2500 Gil
32.4. Outside of Orbonne Monastery - Rebirth of Velius
[Izlude is sitting on the Chocobo. Alma is lying behind him. Wiegraf is lying prone near them. A trace of blood is behind him. Wiegraf grasps the ground and crawls few foots forward.] Izlude Are you OK? Wiegraf!! Wiegraf Don't worry... about me... Just... go! [Ramza rushes out of the Monastery.] Ramza Alma!! Wiegraf Go.... Izlude.... Izlude Sorry, Wiegraf!! [Ramza rushes toward Izlude & Alma, but Chocobo fastly carries them away. Ramza stops.] Ramza Wait! Izlude!! Wiegraf Goho! [Wiegraf tries to stand up, but can only raise his head.] Wiegraf Damn.... I can't die here. I can't face my dead allies without avenging Miluda... No.... I don't want to die... [Blue stone falls out from Wiegraf's clothes. Ramza with surprise looks as it flies up. The stone shines with brightest blue light and a voice sounds.] Holder of the Holy Stone... Promise me.... Ramza What....? The stone.... spoke...? Holder of the Holy Stone... Promise me.... Your spirit will unite with my flesh to live forever. [Wiegraf raises his head and looks at the stone.] Wiegraf Is this the stone's secret? Your despair and resentment called me... now promise... [Ramza stretches his hands toward Wiegraf.] Ramza No! Wiegraf!! Don't open that! [Too late--Wiegraf speaks at the same time.] Wiegraf Help..... me...... [The stone shines and speaks while flying down toward Wiegraf.] I am Velius... [The stone stops on Wiegraf's back. It speaks and shines with such strength that Ramza covers his eyes with hands.] the devil. [Blue 'souls' flies into Wiegraf while he is fusing with the stone.] Your wish is granted. [The light consumes Wiegraf. 'Souls' flies away. The light fades. Huge horned monster appears instead of Wiegraf in front of Ramza.] Velius This is the stone's power! [Ramza grasps his sword.] Ramza Wiegraf......! [Wiegraf-Velius turns toward Ramza.] Velius Ramza, its power is magnificent! No, not just the power. Centuries of knowledge ingrained into my brain. [Ramza bares his sword.] Velius Hya, ha... easy... save some for later....! [Ramza & Velius are looking at each other under heavy rain. The lightning colors a night scenery in ominous color.] Velius Hya, ha... superb... Superb power.......! [Velius disappears. Ramza hides his sword. Simon limps out of the Monastery. Ramza runs up to him and supports him before he falls down.] Ramza Simon! Can you hear me...? Simon H, here... [Simon hands an old book to Ramza.] Ramza What is this book? Simon Germonik, a disciple of St. Ajora wrote it... It had been missing... till I found it in the underground library.... It explains in detail about the Zodiac Brave Story... Ramza Please don't try to talk! Simon That's all right..... I'm a sinner... I knew of the church's wrongdoing... but said nothing... You can bring them to justice with this book! You can bring Alma back with this book... Ramza Simon!! [Simon closes his eyes.] Simon Whew, now I can finally rest. Take care of the rest... Ramza..... You're just like Balbanes ...when he was young. [Simon's body hangs on Ramza's arms.] Ramza Simon!!
