	Simon!!




	Please answer me!!


	U, ugh... Alma...
	Why... are... you.... here?


	What happened?


	It's dangerous.... here.
	Hurry.... run.
	They... came for the Holy
	Stone 'Virgo'...


	Holy Stone!?
	Then Alma was right...


	The stone's been a royal
	treasure for generations...
	When Princess Ovelia came
	here, they gave it to us as
	proof of her status.


	Who are 'they'? Who's
	trying to get the stone?


	You're Alma's older brother
	Ramza, aren't you?
	Don't get any more involved.
	You'll be killed.....


	Where is the Holy Stone!!


	Wait! It must be here
	somewhere! Look for it!


	We can go underground
	from here. Let's go!!


	I'm a fugitive, branded by
	the church as a 'heretic'.
	Is it because of the stone?
	Please tell me.
	Who are they?


	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.


	What's the real reason for
	collecting the stones...
	and reviving the Zodiac Braves?


	To gain the people's trust,
	of course.


	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?


	You're different from your
	brothers. More like Balbanes.
	Perhaps you might be able
	to destroy their ambition.


	You stay here.
	I'll go after them.


	I'll go with you!


	We can't leave Simon alone.
	Hide in a safe place!


	....OK, I will.




	Hold on to this stones, 
	just in case.
	If I don't come back,
	make sure to throw it
	in Bugros Sea. OK? 


	I regret I can't help you.
	I wish I were born a man...


	Don't be silly.
	You're the only one I trust.


	Brother....


	Take care of Simon!

32.2. Underground Book Storage Third Floor - Izlude escapes with 'Virgo'





	I didn't expect you to find
	us here! But, just in time.
	Heretic Ramza,
	hand us the stone!


	No, why don't you give
	me yours?
	Do as I say and I'll let
	you live!


	You think you can beat us?!
	Then I'll take it by force!

	Conditions for Winning:
	Defeat Izlude!

	Map







	Why do you go against us,	
	Ramza?
	Though you're a Beoulve,
	you don't obey your brothers.
	Why?


	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!


	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!!


	You started this war!
	Was that the will of God?


	Certain sacrifices must be
	made for the revolution!
	Decadent royalty and nobles
	must pay! For the people!
	Now, cooperate with us.
	As Delita did!


	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.


	'Evil power'?
	No, the stone is 'holy'!
	We want to guide people by
	God's miracle!
	Never "evil power"!


	You know the Cardinal joined
	Lucavi, right?
	If that's not 'evil power',
	I don't know what is!


	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.]


	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!




	Wait! Izlude!!

	BONUS MONEY:
	13,900 Gil

	WAR TROPHIES:

32.3. Underground Book Storage First Floor - Poor 'old friend'





	No! Let go!


	Izlude, leave this to me! You gotta
	get out of here with that girl!

[Izlude pulls Alma to the exit.]


	You, come on this way!


	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.]


	Here's Ramza!
	It would be a fatal mistake
	to underestimate them!
	Don't let your guard down!!

	Conditions for Winning:
	Defeat Wiegraf!

	Map







	...Miluda, finally I can avenge
	your death!

[Wiegraf rushes toward Ramza.]


	Wiegraf!!
	You're still alive!!


	Been a long time, Ramza.
	Glad to see you again!!


	You've become a dog for the church
	and have forsaken your ideals!


	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!


	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?


	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.]


	Ouh.......
	No, I won't lose...!
	I'm... a member... of
	Zodiac Braves... with 'Aries'...
	I... can't... lose... like this!




	Where are you! Wiegraf!!


	BONUS MONEY:
	32,800 - 33,000 Gil

	WAR TROPHIES:
	2500 Gil







32.4. Outside of Orbonne Monastery - Rebirth of Velius





	Are you OK? Wiegraf!!


	Don't worry... about me...
	Just... go!


	Alma!!


	Go.... Izlude....


	Sorry, Wiegraf!!




	Wait! Izlude!!


	Goho!

[Wiegraf tries to stand up, but can only raise his head.]


	Damn.... I can't die here.
	I can't face my dead allies
	without avenging Miluda...
	No.... I don't want to die...


	Holder of the Holy Stone...
	Promise me....


	What....?
	The stone.... spoke...?


	Holder of the Holy Stone...
	Promise me....
	Your spirit will unite with
	my flesh to live forever.


	Is this the stone's secret?


	Your despair and resentment
	called me...
	now promise...


	No! Wiegraf!!
	Don't open that!


	Help..... me......


	I am Velius...


	the devil.


	Your wish is granted.




	This is the stone's power!


	Wiegraf......!


	Ramza,
	its power is magnificent!
	No, not just the power.
	Centuries of knowledge
	ingrained into my brain.


	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.]


	Hya, ha... superb...
	Superb power.......!




	Simon!
	Can you hear me...?


	H, here...


	What is this book?


	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...


	Please don't try to talk!


	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...


	Simon!!


	Whew, now I can finally rest.
	Take care of the rest...
	Ramza.....
	You're just like Balbanes
	...when he was young.


	Simon!!
