Part 68: Knight - Bonus Chapter

Knight Chapter, Bonus
Armageddon




You can select a protagonist to start with in the final chapter. One of the choices is Orsted. As you might guess, if you pick Orsted, the story you follow is... Not the same as if you pick anyone else.



Here we are at Devil's Peak, right where we left off. Well, it seems some bodies have been cleaned off the area, but other than that. And, let's just jump right into a villainous monologue, shall we?




: Animals may be ruled by instinct, but they will not take a life unless they need the food.
: You maggots, however... you are different! You never tire of senseless destruction!!
: I must teach you...
: I will show you what it is like to be the vanquished...!

Music: Journey to the Mountain of the Demon King




So now we're going back through this tunnel. I think you all remember what was in that room.



Not this one.



This one.




: You used me, betrayed me, and cast me aside like so much garbage...



: For the vanquished, there is no tomorrow!

Music: The Demon King Odio

: I shall visit distance places in distant times...
: I shall change the past, and you will bear witness...!
: Bear witness to the power of these seven stone idols! To the power of my hatred!!




Right, so here we are. We pick any of these statues, Odio will make a short remark, and we'll play through the corresponding boss fight from the other side. I'll save you the trouble of going over these, since the final bosses were covered already, and you don't have any new techniques. Except for one, which we'll get to.

But for right now, let's start with the center idol, which is right next to us.


: Why bother bringing people together? It will only result in more despair.
: Destruction! This filthy world built by dirty people...





Now!
The Great Inko Buddha statue shall bring unto us salvation!
Master Odeo arrives!



: Fuhahaha...!

Top left.

: You, born from nothing, were created from humans to fulfill their selfish desires!
: And at the whim of those same humans, you were destroyed! Fight...!





Everything within the ship must work in harmony_
I was built to maintain harmony_
Therefore, my will is absolute_
Nobody will stand in my way_
Anyone who tries..._
... will be terminated!_



: Well done...

Top right.

: The souls of those fallen in battle... Nobody has the right to deny you your desires!
: Use your power, for this putrid land...





Bahahaha...
Doesn't matter how many rats you rustle up...!
You won't be able to win against a Gatling Gun!!



: Very good...

Right.

: You who choose the path of battle, to become the strongest man alive...
: Defeat is only temporary!




You are such a... tiny man. Your determination is admirable, if misplaced.
I am not impressed, though. The competition was not exactly stellar.
I gave them... quick deaths.
First up was that amateur, Namcat... and the Lucha wimp...
I twisted Tula's joints in ways nature never intended!
Then Max, and that fatass, Iaukea...
And the geezer, whatever his name was.
They were weak... so they died!
Now, you fight me...!
Odie Oldbright!



: That's right, you're the strongest!

Left.

: Strength is everything! Those who allow themselves to feel emotions will remain weak!
: The victor...





Foolish child...



: Yes, you are the victor...

Bottom left.

: I shall ensure that your future is turbulent and uncertain!
: No ideals! Only those who sell their soul will obtain power...





Cower before the sublime form of he who shall rule the Land of the Rising Sun!
Gu...
Gugrgu...
Guh...!
Erggruh...!!
Grooowwr!!



: Amazing...

Lastly, bottom right.

: You shall die, powerless humans, as sacrifices...







: Have you realized it yet?
: You are trapped by your own illusions!
: We...



: Hehehehe...
: Hahahaha...
: Hahhaahaahaahaa...!!



Hope is destroyed in all times. There is only Odio.

Music: Wings That Don't Reach

As the credits play and the sombre theme of the Knight Chapter plays, Odio visits the various areas Orsted travelled to.



To the summit...



The cave's entrance...



Familia...



Hash's cabin...



The hero's grave...



The woods...



The castle town...



The jail...



The courtyard...



Memories...



The throne...



The balcony.


Music: The Demon King Odio




Listlessly, Odio stares into the distance.






------------------

Oh, but that's not the only way this chapter can end. Don't forget, I mentioned that each of the bosses had one new technique. It becomes available if you are in critical condition, and replaces the Flee command.
