FFX - Script - Escape from Bevelle
[Screen fades in on a series of jailcells hanging from the ceiling; they look like enclosed lamps, actually. Tidus screams]
Tidus
"Get me outta here! I want out now!"
"You hear me?"
[We see inside the jailcell. Auron is there as well]
Auron
"You waste your breath."
[Tidus sighs and sits down]
Tidus
"Man, I hope Yuna's okay."
Auron
"She's strong. She'll make it."
Tidus
"She'll make it?"
"What, so she can die?"
[He sighs]
"Why is it..."
"everything in Spira seems to revolve around people dying?"
Auron
"Ah, the spiral of death."
Tidus
"Huh?"
Auron
"Summoners challenge the bringer of death, Sin, and die doing so."
"Guardians give their lives to protect their summoner."
"The fayth are the souls of the dead. Even the maesters of Yevon are unsent."
"Spira is full of death."
"Only Sin is reborn, and then only to bring more death."
"It is a cycle of death, spiraling endlessly."
[Tidus sighs. Screen fades to black. Fades back in on Kinoc walks on a walkway near the jailcell of Tidus and Auron]
Kinoc
"Come out. Your sentence has been decided."
Auron
"Sentence? Don't you mean execution?"
Kinoc
"Really, now, what person would execute a dear friend?"
Auron
"You would."
[Screen fades to black. Fades back in on a stone floor..several guards with rifles are standing behind Tidus; in front of Tidus is a small pool of water]
"Looks like you're next!"
Tidus
"Next for what?"
[The guard pushes Tidus into the water]
"Get going!"
Tidus
"Where's everybody else?"
"Floating down there somewhere, maybe."
[Tidus swims. He meets Wakka]
Wakka
"Oooh! You made it!"
[They high-five each other. Rikku swims on screen]
Tidus
"What's our sentence?"
Wakka
"Think they expect us to give up and die down here."
Tidus
"Well, that's a lame way to kill someone."
Rikku
"Where's Yunie?"
Tidus
"I don't know."
Rikku
"Wonder if we should wait for her..."
Tidus
"Hmm..."
"Let's wait at the exit."
Rikku
"If there is an exit."
[Screen changes to Mika, Seymour, and Kinoc, talking to each other]
Mika
"How fares the Ronso maester?"
Seymour
"It seems my father's murder troubles him."
[Mika laughs]
Mika
"Ever the Ronso."
"Hard-headed, hardly useful."
Seymour
"However..."
"The summoner Yuna, daughter to High Summoner Braska..."
"She may be of some use to us alive."
Mika
[Turns away from Seymour]
"She has disturbed the order of Yevon."
"She cannot be allowed to live."
Seymour
"I understand."
[He bows]
Kinoc
"Let it go, Seymour."
"No one thrown into the Via Purifico has ever survived."
Mika
"Yet there is always a small chance that they might."
"Place guards at the exit. Kill any who emerge."
Seymour
[He bows again]
"Sir. Leave that to me."
Mika
"First your father, now your bride?"
Seymour
"Allow me to do this because she is my bride."
Kinoc
"Wait. I will go, too."
Seymour
"You do not trust me?"
Kinoc
"Would you trust a man who murdered his father?"
Seymour
"Very well. As you wish."
[Seymour leaves: screen fades to black]
"Lady Yuna, forgive me."
[Screen fades in on Yuna. She's in the Via Purifico, which is a dungeon/maze. She makes her way through it. Along the way, she meets Kimahri]
Kimahri
"Yuna, sorry we left you alone."
Yuna
"No, it's okay."
[They continue, meeting Auron]
Auron
"There must be an exit somewhere. We search!"
[You can probably find Lulu in here too....though I never did. Anyways, in one room, the group finds....Isaaru!]
Isaaru
"Lady Yuna... So it is you!"
Yuna
"Why are you here?"
Isaaru
"We rode the airship to the Calm Lands, then came to Bevelle."
"Maester Kinoc summoned us then. Ordered us to "deal with the traitors.""
Auron
"You will fight us?"
Isaaru
"The temple's orders are law."
"Even if you are Lord Braska's flesh and blood..."
"You're a traitor!"
"Forgive me, Lady Yuna."
[Yuna steps forward. One on one boss battle begins; Yuna and her aeons against Isaaru and his. He uses Ifrit (Grothia), Valefor (Pterya), and Bahamut (Spathi). They all get destroyed. Poor Isaaru..ahahaha. After the battle, Isaaru is lying down on the ground. Yuna begins to approach him]
Isaaru
"Stay away!"
"There's a way to the surface up ahead."
[Yuna bows and walks away. Kimahri follows her. Auron walks up to Isaaru]
Auron
"Your pilgrimage is over."
[Screen fades to black. Fades back in on Tidus, floating underwater. Rikku, Wakka, and Tidus are in the watery part of Via Purificio. Eventually, they reach one area, where hundreds of pyreflies past them.....and re-form the monstrous fiend, Evrae! Except now, it's a zombie. Battle vs. Evrae Altana: you can escape by opening a lock, or merely finish it off with curative potions/magic/2 phoenix downs. It explodes into a ton of pyreflies. The group makes their way out of the watery Via Purificio. The screen goes black; fades back in on everybody reunited]
Rikku
"Yunie!"
"You're all right?"
"We were so worried! It's good to have you back!"
[Yuna hugs Rikku]
Yuna
"Thank you."
Tidus
"Um... I...uh..."
[He stops, and turns around. Seymour, Kinoc, 3 Guado soldiers and 1 Bevelle soldier approach them. The Bevelle soldier, holding Kinoc, drops him. Kinoc falls flat on his stomach, and lies there, motionless]
Auron
"Kinoc!"
Tidus
"Why, you!"
Seymour
"I have saved him."
"He was a man who craved power."
"And great power he had, but he feared losing it."
"Trembling at unseen enemies, he spent his days scheming petty schemes."
"Chased by his fears, never knowing rest."
"You see..."
"Now he has no worries. He has been granted sleep eternal."
"Death is a sweet slumber."
"All the pain of life is gently swept away... Ah, yes."
"So you see..."
"if all life were to end in Spira, all suffering would end. Don't you see?"
"Do you not agree?"
"That, Yuna, is why I need you."
"Come, Lady Yuna."
"Come with me to Zanarkand, the lost city of the dead."
"With death on our side, we will save Spira, and for this..."
"I will take from you your strength, Yuna, your life, and become the next Sin."
"I will destroy Spira! I will save it!"
Tidus
"You're totally nuts!"
[Kimahri runs forward and stabs Seymour with his spear. It becomes lodged in Seymour's chest. They stand, staring at each other. All is silent. Seymour looks down at the spear]
Seymour
"Unpleasant..."
"Very well."
"I will give you your death. You seem to want it so."
[Seymour holds up his rod. Dark energy radiates from it; the four soldiers and Kinoc dissolve into pyreflies. The pyreflies surround his body; he transforms into a white being with purple armor and huge, strange wings in the back. He's earned the nickname "Safer Seymour" from myself. Seymour floats in the air, while Kimahri is still in front of him, spear in hand (though not in Seymour's chest anymore)]
Kimahri
"Run! Protect Yuna!"
Auron
"Go!"
Tidus
"No way! I'm fighting!"
[Auron takes out his sword and holds it in front of Tidus' face]
Auron
"I said go!"
[Tidus looks at Yuna. They nod to each other. Everybody except Kimahri runs away. They put alot of distance between themselves and Seymour, before Yuna says...]
Yuna
"I won't leave Kimahri behind!"
Auron
"He is a guardian. Protecting you is everything."
Yuna
"Auron!"
Tidus
"That's right! We're all guardians!"
"Yeah, and you know what that means?"
"Yuna... Anywhere you go, I'll follow!"
Yuna
"Anywhere I go?"
Tidus
"Yeah, anywhere!"
[She smiles]
Yuna
"Well, then!"
Tidus & Yuna
"Let's go!"
[They run back towards Seymour]
Tidus
"Hey, Kimahri! Leave some for us!"
Wakka
"Hey! Wait for me!"
Rikku
"Me, too!"
[They run off. Lulu walks up to Auron]
Lulu
"I'll go, too!"
[She walks off. Auron smirks and runs after them. The group returns to where Seymour and Kimahri are fighting. They surround Kimahri; he shakes his head. Boss Battle vs. Seymour Natus begins. He gets defeated and evaporates in a cloud of smoke (with some pyreflies). The screen goes black]
"We escaped with our skins intact, but Yuna lost something."
"I could already tell, her faith was shaken, Yevon had betrayed her."
"I felt like I should do or say something--anything..."
"But nothing came. I was just as lost as she was. And then..."
[The group's sitting near the big tree near Lake Macalania]
Wakka
"Well?"
Auron
"We're all clear."
"We will have to avoid Bevelle in the future."
"Yuna?"
Rikku
"She said she wanted to be alone."
Auron
"Of course."
[Tidus goes to speak to her]
Yuna
"I always thought that this would be easier somehow."
"I thought that everyone would help me..."
"with all my new friends together beside me."
"I've been trying so hard."
Tidus
"Maybe you're trying too hard."
"They told me...everything."
Yuna
"Everything?"
[he nods]
"Well, so then... you know."
[He goes "Yeah"]
Tidus
"I'm sorry."
[She turns to face him]
"It's just, you know... all those things I said."
"Like "Let's go get Sin!" Or about Zanarkand..."
"I didn't know what would happen to you, Yuna."
"I guess... I hope it didn't make you sad."
"Forgive me."
Yuna
"I wasn't sad."
"I was happy."
[Tidus goes underwater, then surfaces in a few metres in front of her]
Tidus
"Yuna."
"Just don't do it."
Yuna
"The pilgrimage?"
[He goes "Yeah"]
Tidus
"That's right."
"Forget all about Sin, about being a summoner. Forget all that."
"You know, live a normal life. Come on now, Yuna, what do you say?"
Yuna
"Maybe I will."
[Tidus goes "Huh?" and turns to her, then swims up to her]
"Wouldn't everyone be surprised?"
Tidus
"Yeah."
"Except Rikku. She'd be with you."
"Lulu and Wakka wouldn't hold out long."
Yuna
"Kimahri would say yes, too, I know. But Sir Auron..."
Tidus
"I'll make him understand, Yuna. It's the least I can do for you."
Yuna
"No, I should tell him. He deserves it."
[Scene changes: she's floating on the water]
"What'll I do if I give up my pilgrimage?"
Tidus
"Hey! Zanarkand! Let's go to Zanarkand!"
"Not the one in Spira, the one I'm from."
"Yeah, we can all fly there. Everyone can go!"
"Then we'll have a big party at my place!"
Yuna
"And then we could see Blitzball!"
Tidus
"Yeah!"
Yuna
"Your Zanaraknd Abes would play!"
"We could all watch you play, in the stadium all lit up at night!"
"I'd cheer and cheer till I couldn't cheer anymore!
Tidus
"Right on!"
Yuna
"Well, what about after the game?"
Tidus
"We'd go out and have fun!"
Yuna
"In the middle of the night?"
Tidus
"No problem! Zanarkand never sleeps!"
"Let's go to the sea, before the sunrise."
"The city lights go out one by one. The stars fade..."
"Then the horizon glows, almost like it's on fire."
"It's kinda rose-colored, right? First in the sea, then it spreads to the sky, then to the whole city. It gets brighter and brighter, till everything glows."
"It's really...pretty."
"I know you'd like it."
Yuna
"I'd like to see it, someday."
Tidus
"Well you can, Yuna. We can both go!"
[A teardrop hits the water. Yuna starts crying]
"Yu..?"
Yuna
"I can't. I just can't!"
"I can't go!"
[FMV. Tidus walks up to Yuna. She's crying. He holds her shoulders.]
Tidus
"Yuna."
[He kisses her. She doesn't resist. The smooching continues. Pyreflies fly around them. They go underwater, still kissing. They embrace; she looks at him. They hold hands, still looking at each other, while underwater. He brushes her hair. She holds his face. More kissing. FMV ends, scene changes; they're sitting on the shore afterwards]
Yuna
"I'll continue. I must."
[Tidus goes "Hmmm"]
"If I give up now..."
"I could do anything I wanted to, and yet..."
"Even if I was with you, I could never forget."
Tidus
"I'll go with you."
[She turns to him and goes "Hmm?"]
"I'm your guardian."
"Unless I'm...fired?"
[Yuna looks away, giggles, and faces him again]
Yuna
"Stay with me until the end. Please."
Tidus
"Not until the end..."
"Always."
[Yuna nods]
Yuna
"Always, then."
[Kimahri, watching from a distance, turns around to return to the group. Neither of them were aware of his presence]
"Maybe you should head back to camp first."
Tidus
"Roger!"
[They stare at each other. He turns around and begins to head off. He stops, and looks up at the sky, and moving pyreflies that look like shooting stars. Yuna whistles. He runs and meets her. She giggles]
Yuna
"Wait. I'll go with you."
[He nods. They go together, holding hands. The group is silent; they see Tidus approach. Rikku gets up and approaches him. They talk, but we don't know about what. Tidus walks past her; she doesn't move. Yuna walks on screen and goes "Umm..."]
Yuna
[She looks at each person as she says their name]
"Sir Auron?"
"Wakka?"
"Lulu?"
"Kimahri?"
"Rikku?"
"Everyone, we leave at dawn."
"And..."
"I'm sorry for putting you through all of this."
"And...um..."
Auron
"Enough. You need your rest."
Yuna
"Yes."
"Good night."
[It's dawn. We see the group, reunited, waking up, and walking out of the forest one by one. Next stop: the Calm Lands!]
