Script translation (Book 2)

Chapter 16: Reclaiming the capital

Map opening

This was a fierce battle like no other.
But, their homeland of Aritia has been liberated.
All that remains is the castle...
If I could regain Aritia castle, where I was born...
Everybody, thank you...
I really must thank you all for placing your trust in me...
Before Marth’s face flowed shimmering tears...
Even the girl, who gently wiped his tears away, couldn’t prevent her own tears...

Pre-battle

Marth:
What’s going on...?
Even thieves have managed to find their way in.
Could the Earth Orb have been taken by them!?
Jeigan:
Your highness, a suspicious thief is escaping towards the north.
We should send somebody in pursuit before it’s too late.
Marth:
Mmm, but we can’t use horses or Pegasi inside, so what should we do...

Recruiting Astria

George:
Astria, how are you doing?
Astria:
So it’s the traitor, George.
What do you want with me?
George:
Wait, Astria.
General Eibel has already fallen.
You won’t be able to win even if you continue fighting.
Astria:
You want me to surrender...?
Never!
Even if I am the last one standing.
I am a warrior of Akaneia to the end!!
George:
Why are you...
Who are you fighting for?
Are you fighting for Emperor Hardin?
Astria:
No!
It’s not because of that man, but because of Nina...
And for Akaneia!!
George:
But, did Nina tell you to fight here?
Do you really think that Nina would hope for this kind of battle?
Astria:
Well... I hadn’t seen Nina for a while.
I was told that she fell ill, and that I couldn’t see her.
But... Since Hardin is Emperor of Akaneia, I have no choice.
If I don’t follow his orders I will become a traitor, and I will be betraying Nina.
George:
Astria, Nina already entrusted the Emblem to Prince Marth. Do you understand... the meaning of her actions?
Astria:
Wh-what!!
When did this happen, George?
Nina requested Prince Marth for help?
George:
I believe that is the only explanation.
Astria, if you want to find out the truth then come with us...
If you die here, what will Midia do?
You must live on, for her.
You must live on, so you can confirm with your eyes what is happening.
Astria:
Hmm...
I guess I have no choice.
But, George.
If this war is as Hardin said, and was caused by Prince Marth’s ambitions.
I will never forgive you!
Remember that!!

Versus Astria

Astria:
You foul traitors!
Taste the might of my Miracle Sword!

Astria falls

Astria:
Midia...

Versus Willow

Willow:
Hahaha...
It’s time for me to show you...
The destructive power of my Meteor magic...

Willow falls

Willow:
Emperor Hardin, forgive me...

Chapter end

Jeigan:
Prince Marth.
The enemies in the castle have been vanquished.
Aritia is finally in our hands again.
Marth:
Really? That’s great.
But, I still don’t see my sister...
Gato:
Your highness, Princess Ellis was taken by Garnef.
Marth:
Huh? Gato, is that true!?
Gato:
He ordered the dark priests to search for sisters of noble birth.
Rena, Maria... and even your sister Ellis. They have all been taken by Garnef...
Marth:
Is that so...
But what is he planning on doing by capturing them?
Gato:
That I don't know, but I bet it’s not anything good.
The chain of events so far was all the doing of Garnef.
Marth:
Gato!
Where is he now?
Gato:
I don’t know, but I bet Garnef’s next target will be Princess Nina.
So he is probably at Pales...
Marth:
I see.
We will go to Pales.
I will rescue Hardin from the Dark Orb’s influence.
I will defeat Garnef and the dark priests...
And I will rescue the captured sisters!!
