Part 39: The Chase

Chapter 38 - The Chase

I've editted the Viddler links to be Gamevee, if you have any problems let me know.



If you ever play this game, make sure you buy plenty of these for your characters that will fight Luca.



"I understand. Very well, we'll place the army in the woods near Genkaku Castle. When Luca appears, we'll close off all the exits."



This was about the closest I could get to the groups voted on while still having any sane chance of beating Luca!

"Okay, let's go, but don't use torches. I want our eyes as adjusted to the dark as possible. But leave the castle torches lit."

If you never watch any video except one, make sure it's this one!

The Battle Against Luca Blight










"Luca Blight............ Gather our arches. We're headed for the prearranged position."



There's a lot of this. I don't know where the fuck they kept coming from.






Luca Blight's End







"Lord Riou, let's go back. We won and there are a lot of people who are waiting to hear news of our victory."



"Yes............It's what I always hoped for, and I want to believe I'm brave enough to accept fate."





"You did it, Riou!!! You're really terrific!!!"

"You beat those Highland bums!!!"

"Great job, Riou!! Great job!!"

"Pilika... sweetie... We won. Riou won for us."



"Riou!!!!!!! W, w, what happened!!!!!"

"Let me take a look. ...Whew. He's okay. It looks like he just fainted. He must be exhausted. Carry him to his room."

"I'll take care of him."



"...we hereby accept a shining new flame into the Blight family. Jowy Blight, Jillia Blight, we are here to record the vows made between you this day."

"By my body and by my soul, as a guardian of this place, as a knight and as a subject, I pledge to serve Jillia Blight."

"............................"

"What is it?"

"By my body, and by my soul, as successor of the Blight family lineage, I take you..... Jowy Blight.... as my husband. Furthermore, I confer upon him the title of King of Highland and I pledge to serve him the rest of my nature days."

"I pray that you two shall find happiness as you walk together on your new path in life."





"But you've been resting in bed and drinking my soup for a whole week now. You must be feeling better, right? Apple told us that the Highland Army has withdrawn. So does that man that the war is finally over....?"



"Hey, hey, hey, Riou. Let's go for a walk, okay? Ever since we escaped from Muse, we haven't had any free time. I want to look around in South Window and Kuskus Town."



"What should we do? Should we take a look?"



"W, what?"



"I've seen you on the battlefield, but never face to face like this, Lord Riou. I'm Culgan, General of the 3rd Royal Highland. I work under Commander Jowy Blight. I'm pleased to meet you."

"Jowy... Blight? Could that be our Jowy???"

"Yes. Lady Jillia, the sole surviving heir to the Blight family, has officially wed Lord Jowy. Jowy has now become King Jowy, successor to the Blight Royal Family and King of Highland."

"Eh? Eh?? Eh????? Whaaat!!!!! J... Jowy... is... married!!!!!!"

"You two are friends of his. He wanted you to attend the ceremony, but unfortunately it was impossible."

"Eh? Eh? So what do you want? Some kind of wedding gift.........?"

"No, the reason I am here today is to make a peace treaty between Highland and the State...... I've brought a letter addressed to Lord Riou, leader of the Unicorn Army."

"Peace treaty? You mean........... the war is over?????"

"Yes.... if negotiations go smoothly, that is."

"Really? REally? You did it, Riou."

"I'm embarassed to ask the Unicorn Army leader, but could you take me to Genkaku Castle? I could deliver the letter here, but to prove that this is a formal peace offer, I'd prefer to do it there."

"Lord Culgan... you're not... really going with them, are you?"

"Don't worry. I want you to wait here. Lord Riou isn't that kind of person. I'll see you later."

"But of course. If it means the war will end, no problem at all!"







"Damn! Get away from Riou!!!!"

"Please don't misunderstand me. I've come to negotiate a peace agreement."

"Peace agreement?"

"Yes, Luca Blight has passed away, and the current King of Highland, Jowy Atreides, wishes only to end this terrible war."

"Did you say that Jowy has become King of Highland....?"

"I'm hoping for a peace treaty between the Highland Kingdom and the City-State. We should be signing the peace treaty with the mayor of the capital city of Muse, but it's not possible now. For that reason, I request that Lord Riou and Teresa, acting mayor of Greenhill accompany me to Muse. Here is a letter from Lord Jowy Blight. Please accept it. Lord Riou, Lord Jowy is hoping for peace. Please go to Muse City. Well, please excuse me. Farewell."



"Me?"

"Well, it could be a trap."

"C'mon, Jowy isn't that kind of a kid." (Yes, he only murdered Anabelle way back earlier in the game. No biggie.)

"But Jowy Blight has Leon Silverburg as his strategist. You mustn't underestimate him."

"It could be a great chance. Highland is weak and we're strong. Perhaps we could sign a peace treaty with very favorable terms."

"But what if this is a trap, and we lose Lord Riou? What will we do then?!! First of all, I don't believe that the Highlanders can keep their promises!!! Don't forget that this war started when they broke the last peace treaty!!! With Luca Blight gone, we can take Muse and Greenhill back from Highland by force!!!"

"Everyone, calm down. Why don't we ask Lord Riou's opinion? Lord Riou, if you say you're going to Muse, we're with you. Please decide."



"Lord Riou, as acting mayor of Greenhill, I'm going with you. Shall we depart for Muse?"

"Please go with Chaco. He may be of some help."
