(Movie The Escape plays)
Before battle (Days lafter; Capital
of Daein, Nevassa)
Edward
Something must have happened to him.
Micaiah
Don't worry. He'll be here.
Edward
Hey, I have an idea... Micaiah, why don't you use your farsight to see
when Leonardo will arrive?
Micaiah
Edward, you know that's not how it works. I foresee some things, but I
don't get to choose what I see.
Edward
I was just teasing! Still, Leonardo's never late. Something must have--
???
H-help! Someone, please help us!
Lady
Bandits! Bandits are attacking the town! Run away! Who knows what the
brutes will do if they catch you!
Edward
Where is the Imperial Occupation Army this time? How can they keep the
peace when they're nowhere to be found?
Lady
Who, the Begnion soldiers?! Hah! They don't care a lick
about us! We lost the war, and they won. We're nothing to them. They're
only interested in chasing down the Dawn Brigade. They let the real
Bandits run wild and brutalize us.
Edward
They're worse than useless! We'll be glad to help you. Just find
someplace to hide, and leave those bandits to us.
Micaiah
And don't worry about us. We happen to be members of that same Dawn
Brigade that the Begnion troops are so interested in!
Nico
What! Really?! You guys are in the Dawn Brigade?! Wow, my friends and I
talk about you all the time!
Lady
You? But you're just children! Oh, how Daein has
fallen... Children, forced to fight and steal for the good of the poor.
But we can't fight the rogues, so we'll take you up on your offer.
Please be careful. They'll slice clean through you if they can.
Pugo
Listen up, you louts! This town is nothin' but idiot kids and drooling
graybeards. Steal everything you can!
Micaiah
Yune, it's dangerous here. Go find someplace safe for now.
Micaiah
All right, Edward. The usual plan of attack?
Edward
Yup! You strike the brutes from afar with your magic.
But be sure not to get too close to them. Then, I'll move in when
they're weak. That's the safest strategy.
Micaiah
I'm ready. You and I should be more than a match for them. Let's go!
Leonardo arrives
Leonardo
Micaiah!
Micaiah
Leonardo! How did you find us?
Leonardo
A little bird told me. Yours, in fact.
(Yune chirps)
Leonardo
What were you two thinking, taking on these bandits alone? That's
beyond reckless.
Micaiah
I'm sorry, Leonardo. We couldn't just leave the helpless villagers to
these monsters. Please, help us fight them.
After battle
Edward
Fantastic! We won! It's just like you said, Micaiah. They were no match
for us!
Micaiah
Yune, come here.
(Yune chirps)
???
You did it!
Lady
Thank you so much! We owe you our lives.
Begnion Soldier
You there! What are you doing? Stop immediately!
Edward
Well, well, well. Look who decided to show up... Begnion soldiers. They
certainly took their time, didn't they?
Leonardo
We mustn't be caught. Micaiah! Edward! Make a break for it. Run!
Micaiah
I'm sorry. We have to leave.
Lady
I know. Thank you again for all you've done. Now, go! Run!
Nico
Hey, lady! My name's Nico! When I grow up, I want to be just like you
guys! Come back sometime!
Begnion Soldier 1
Hold it! Stop right there!
Jarod
Who are you bellowing at, soldier?
Begnion Soldier 1
General Jarod!? Wh-when did you arrive?
Jarod
Answer my question, maggot. I want to know who you were yelling at and
why you did nothing but yell at them.
Begnion Soldier 1
S-sorry, sir. We suspect they were from
the Dawn Brigade, a band of thieves that targets goods levied from the
town. People say they give what they've stolen back to the villagers
and strut around acting like heroes.
Begnion Soldier 1
They're said to have a witch among them, a
girl called the Silver-Haired Maiden. They say she can heal wounds
instantly by laying her hands on any injury. Townspeople treat her like
a savior.
Jarod
And? What have you been doing about this band of fools?
Begnion Soldier 1
Sir. A few days ago we stormed their
hideout. We found a girl much like the Silver-Haired Maiden... We ran
the dogs from their den, but they were cunning and cautious, and ...we
lost them.
Jarod
I see. I'm beginning to understand.
Begnion Soldier 1
How do you mean, sir?
Jarod
I'm beginning to understand exactly how incompetent you all are!
Begnion Soldier 1
Urk!
Jarod
You! You there! Make the villagers talk. I want to know who these
bandits are and where they're hiding.
Begnion Soldier 2
Y-yes, sir! Understood, sir!
Alder
I don't care who they are. The more kick they have in them, the more
fun for us, don't you think, sir?
Jarod
Precisely. Overseeing this dusty old town is wearing thin. A little
fresh game is just what I need.
