Chapter 21

Kasatai vs Tauroneo

Kasatai: Sir Tauroneo! I can’t believe that you would…betray Daein.

Tauroneo: …Forgive me…

Kasatai: You…fool!

Tauroneo vs Children

Tauroneo: What’s the world coming to? Why is it children such as you must be thrown into battle?

Ena vs Ike

Ike: Why is a Goldoan dragon in the service of King Daein?

Ena: …I… I merely want to be near the one I love… He is…my everything. That is why I must defeat you, or…I…I…

Ena vs Mist

Mist: Y-you… You’re one of the dragon tribe, aren’t you? When we ran into trouble in the southern sea, the dragon prince rescued us! I don’t want to fight you! D-do I…have to?

Ena: You have met Prince Kurthnaga? I’ve no desire to steal the life of one who received his aid.

Mist: Whoo-hooo!

Ena: Ah, forgive me, little one. For even so… I cannot quit fighting.

Ena vs Beast Laguz

Ena: Beast-tribe cousin, I will warn you but once. Change your shape and flee from this place. Not even you can defeat a dragon.

Ena vs Hawk Laguz

Ena: Bird brother of Phoenicis… You know the power of the dragon tribes. Do you still think to challenge me?

Ena vs Reyson

Ena: Prince of Serenes… You have no reason to be here. Do you wish to perish in this place?

Chapter 22

Schaeffer vs Ike

Schaeffer: Bah! So you’ve made it this far, have you? Tell me, how many pathetic priests did you have to kill to get here? Come on, five? More? They’re pretty scrawny… You could probably take ten or so without breakin’ a sweat.

Ike: Cowardly cur! Time to stop hiding and fight like a man!

Schaeffer vs Beast Laguz

Schaeffer: Yeowch! Look at that ugly thing! It’s a…sub-human!

Schaeffer vs Hawk Laguz

Schaeffer: Fly-flying freak! Bows! Get your bows! Bring ’em down!

Schaeffer vs Tauroneo

Schaeffer: Heh heh heh. Now here’s a familiar face! It’s one of Daein’s old generals! Look, I’m a coward, and you’re a traitor! Let’s be friends! Whattya say?

Schaeffer vs Reyson

Schaeffer: I’m pretty sure you herons don’t know how to fight. Lucky me! I’m gonna kill ya, stuff ya, and mount ya in my den!

Chapter 23

Petrine vs Haar

Petrine: Just as I expected. I thought to give you a chance to clear the stain from your name… Yet you and Shiharam are treachery in the flesh. Useless migrants!

Haar: To think we endured this for eighteen long years. It seems General Shiharam and I were not to be blessed with any masters worthy of serving. All we found were paltry pretenders…

Petrine: You insult His Majesty? You know not your place, you louse-ridden oaf! Your failings are yours, and yours alone! It’s time for you to burn! Don’t worry, I’ll let the dogs snack on what’s left!

Petrine vs Ike

Ike: You… You’re the knight that my father battled.

Petrine: You! If I’d known you were going to grow to be such a thorn in our side… I would have reduced you to ashes when I had the chance… Guess it’s not too late, though! Die!

Haar vs Jill

Haar: Oh, so you want to try me? I trust you’re going to show me how much you’ve improved!

Jill: What!!! It can’t be… Captain Haar?

Petrine vs Beast Laguz

Petrine: Let me tell you what I despise more than anything else in this world… You half-breed beasts! Die now!

Petrine vs Hawk Laguz

Petrine: Bah! Accursed half-breed hawks! I’ll roast you like a goose and use your feathers for pillow stuffing!

Petrine vs Tauroneo

Petrine: So the traitor appears… I’m going to cook you alive! I bet your armor will make a fine cauldron!

Petrine vs Reyson

Petrine: What’s this? If you can’t fight, you should know better than to be here. Stupid half-breed!

Petrine vs Soren

Petrine: You… That mark on your brow… That’s not a charm of the dead, is it? You’re no Spirit Charmer! Hmph! You may be able to fool others with that, but not me. It’s because we’re the same, see?

Soren: …The same? Don’t be ridiculous. I’m nothing like you. You kill for sport, and hide your fear behind a wall of bravado. Now let me show you true fear!

Chapter 24

Black Knight vs Ike

Ike: I’ve found you at last.

Black Knight: Hmph. You see me, and instead of fleeing, you come to face me. Interesting…and foolish.

Ike: I will keep challenging you until I have avenged my father!

Black Knight: There will be no next time. I will snuff the life from your breast here today.

Ike: I will not lose! Ready yourself!

(Ike defeated)

Ike: Urghgg… I’m… …not strong…enough…yet…

Black Knight: Is that all you have? It seems you do not possess the talents to surpass your father after all. A pity.

Rikard vs Ike

Rikard: Are you the dog of a general who led his forces to victory over General Petrine? Speak your name!

Ike: Ike.

Rikard: Ike! My battle with you will send my own name soaring to new heights of glory! Now… Die!

Rikard vs Beast Laguz

Rikard: Oh, how I’ve missed you half-breeds! It’s been so long since I’ve hunted your kind!

Rikard vs Hawk Laguz

Rikard: Birds from the southern isles… Can you be as strong as I’ve heard? Now’s my chance to find out!

Rikard vs Tauroneo

Rikard: Your traitorous blood will decorate the blade of my axe. Long live my glorious name!

Rikard vs Reyson

Rikard: Killing one who cannot fight will gain me no glory… But you must die nonetheless!

Chapter 25

Gromell vs Ike

Gromell: You knew we were here, but still you charged our positions? I’ll teach you to regret your impudence!

Ike: Sorry, but at this point, I don’t think you’re in a position to teach me anything.

Gromell vs Beast Laguz

Gromell: Sub-humans? Have they already joined with the Gallian army? No, it’s not possible. My chance is now! I won’t let it pass!

Gromell vs Hawk Laguz

Gromell: Bothersome birds! You think you can fly wherever you please? I’ll pluck your wings, and laugh as you fall to your doom!

Gromell vs Tauroneo

Gromell: YOU! Shame of the Daein army! For your blackhearted treachery, I will execute you here and now!

Gromell vs Haar

Gromell: You’re one of Shiharam’s men! You betrayed your country twice, you cowardly dog! Now die like one!

Gromell vs Jill

Gromell: Hmph! So you’re Shiharam’s daughter? You may ride a wyvern like your father, but you know nothing of a true knight’s faithfulness!

Gromell vs Marcia or Tanith

Gromell: A Begnion pegasus knight, eh? I’ll prove that Daein’s aerial prowess is more than equal to yours!

Gromell vs Reyson

Gromell: Here comes another bird… Oh…it’s so beautiful… It cannot be of our world… That’s it! It must be a sub-human! Die, half-breed! Die!

Chapter 26

Bertram vs Elincia

Bertram: ……Gu…guuoo…

Elincia: …Eeep…

Bertram: …Gu…oo…OOO…

Betram vs Ike

Bertram: …Perissssh…Perissssh…

Ike: So you’re Bertram, are you? Sorry, but I can’t perish right now.

Bertram: …Me… Kill…

Ike: What?

Bertram: Kill…me……KILL…M-ME…

Ike: What’s going on? Are you mad?

Bertram: …Gu, gu… GUAAAA!

Ike: Ah!!

Betram vs Laguz

Bertram: …I will eat…your ssssoul…

Chapter 27-1

Hafedd vs Ike

Ike: Is the Black Knight in there?

Hafedd: Yes.

Ike: Step aside. I have business with him.

Hafedd: Aha… It would seem you and Sir Knight have some connection! My curiosity knows no bounds, but… Before you reach Sir Knight, you must first vanquish me!

Hafedd vs Beast Laguz

Hafedd: It’s one of the beast tribe… Quite a formidable foe, indeed! Yet, you will find that I, too, am a robust opponent. Begin!

Hafedd vs Hawk Laguz

Hafedd: A hawk! Which means you hail from Phoenicis. Yesterday, we lost a virtual mountain of men to your king! Now then, if I may be so bold, I would be grateful for the chance to test the power of his subjects.

Hafedd vs Tauroneo

Hafedd: Leaving Daein and siding with Crimea is not unheard of. Soldiers are human, after all. However, the penalty for treason is steep. And now you must pay!

Hafedd vs Reyson

Hafedd: Aha, you are one of the Serenes nobles I’ve heard whispers of… If only this were not war, I would request a song of you… What a shame.

Chapter 27-2

Black Knight vs Ike

Black Knight: What an odd fate. This will be the third time I have defeated you. The first was in the forest of Gallia. The second at Delbray in Crimea.

Ike: We’ve met twice, and I’ve lost twice. But the third time will be different.

Black Knight: Oh?

Ike: My sword-fighting skills were given to me by my father. If I stay true to them, I cannot lose.

Black Knight: Did you never think that]using your father’s techniques on the man who killed him would be futile?

Ike: My father robbed himself of using his stronger arm. If he had, he would not have lost to the likes of you.

Black Knight: Hah… You think so? Let us test your stronger arm then. Come, son of Gawain… Show me your strength.

(Ike defeated)

Ike: Urggg…I… I’m… not…strong…enough…

Black Knight: …Good-bye.

Black Knight vs Mist

Mist: …Sniff…sniff…

Black Knight: Do you tremble in fear, little daughter of Gawain? How…entertaining. But if you value your life, you will leave this place at once.

Mist: You…you took my brother and my father! My sword may not even scratch you, but I don’t care. This one blow… will contain… all my anger…and all my pain…Rrrraaaaa! I’ll kill you!

Chapter 28

Heddywn vs Ike

Heddwyn: That one… He has the look of a commander. If I can only hit him… Well, here goes nothing!

Heddwyn vs Beast Laguz

Heddwyn: That’s a Feral One, isn’t it? They all look alike to me… Eh? Wh-why is it coming this way? Aaah! I don’t like this at all! I think I’ll destroy it just to be safe.

Heddwyn vs Hawk Laguz

Heddwyn: Is that a Feral One? Or is it an enemy…? I can’t tell the difference! I’ll attack it just in case.

Heddywn vs Ena

Heddwyn: E-Ena? It can’t be… You were supposed to be executed!

Heddywn vs Nasir?

Heddwyn: None of the Feral Ones is that color. Which means it’s an enemy! Yaaaaaa!

Final Chapter

Ashnard vs Ike

Ike: …

Ashnard: Heh heh heh. I remember that stance well. So your father taught you swordplay, did he? How very happy that makes me.

Ike: Mad King Ashnard! I will cut you down with this blade and end your reign of terror!

Ashnard: You? Cut me down? Heee… Good. If you possess the strength to do so, then so be it. That process is the principle on which my ideal world operates.

Ike: What are you talking about?

Ashnard vs Ena

Ashnard: Heh heh… Heeee heeee heh… So you’re still alive, are you?

Ena: …

Ashnard: Do you really want to do this? Do you believe you can defeat me?

Ena: I… I was mistaken. You are truly mad… …Even so… I wanted to be near you. If I could have been near you, it would have been all right…

Ashnard: Did you think I would allow that? Whaaaa haa haa haaaaa!

Ena: King Ashnard of Daein. You will die at my hand!

Ashnard vs Nasir

Ashnard: […Eh? You’re not human. But your aura… You’re not a beast, nor a bird… You must be a dragon!]

or

[A white dragon! To meet with you here… Wheeee haa haa haaaa! For me, there is no greater joy!] (Depends if Nasir is transformed)

Nasir: King Daein… There is a reason I had to meet you.

Ashnard: And that is?

Nasir: I would have you tell me how to heal my warped and twisted laguz brothers. If you created them, you should know how to restore them.

Ashnard: That… That is what you want? Whaaa haaa haaa haaaaa! Fool! There never was such a cure!

Nasir: … What have you…done… It is…already…too late…

Ashnard: Tell me, dragon, were you our Worm? Heh heh heh. I see… So your goal is to stop the Goldoans from fighting. Tsk, tsk, tsk!

Nasir: We dragons are known for our wrath. Even spilling your blood today will not atone for what you have done!

Ashnard: Despise me! Loathe me! Whaaa haa haa haaaaaa! I will feast on your hatred! Let your hate build, dragon! Attack me with everything you have! I know your strength is not gone yet!

Ashnard vs Elincia

Elincia: Ashnard!

Ashnard: What? You again, Princess Crimea? I told you, you are not the foe I seek.

Elincia: You may not think so… Yet my purpose here is to defeat you. In the name of my father, my mother, my lord uncle, and the countless citizens of Crimea… You murdered them all! And I will never forgive you that!

Ashnard: In the world I am creating, only those with power will be allowed to live. Hurry and die, weakling!

Ashnard vs Tibarn

Ashnard: Oh, the king of hawks! Meeting your feathered carcass here today is… Fantastic! I am so pleased!

Tibarn: As am I. I want to rake my talons across your face so much, I can hardly control myself.

Ashnard: Waaaaa haaaa haaa! Heeee heee haaa! Perfect! PERFECT!!! That is what war is all about!

Tibarn: Come. Let’s get started.

Ashnard vs Naesala

Naesala:
[Seeing you like this makes me want to forget this whole fighting thing.]

or

[Just thinking about fighting you makes me want to forget the whole thing.] Heck, it’s not like I’m getting paid… Say… Do you want to hire me? (Depends on which form of Ashnard)

Ashnard: What’s this? Do you wish to return to Daein’s loving embrace?

Naesala: I do… If you agree to make me very, very rich.

Ashnard: Enough of your lies, crow. Even now, your beady eyes look to find a chink in my armor.

Naesala: Ah…you found me out. All right, let’s proceed in earnest. No more tricks… Oh, look over there! Didn’t work, eh? Then die, madman! I won’t be doing you any favors if I let you live.

Ashnard vs Mist

Mist: As long as you’re alive, this war can not end. How many lives have you stolen with your selfishness?

Ashnard: You ask that of me? You? A girl? Pah! Trivial. You’re not worth the effort it would take to kill you.

Mist: Give me back my medallion! You aren’t supposed to have it!

Ashnard: Are you…Gawain’s daughter?

Mist: I am! And like my father and mother before me, I will protect the world from your madness!

Ashnard: Heh heh… Hwah hah hah hah… Wheeee haaa haaa haaaaaarrr! Perhaps I’ll kill you after all! If you are their child, you get special privileges! Show me your might!

Ashnard vs Reyson

Ashnard: Galdr singer, did you come here today so that I might take ownership of you?

Reyson: I have something to ask you. Were you the one who stole the medallion and my sister, Lillia, from Serenes Forest?

Ashnard: You know that already, do you not? Why would you come all this way to ask something you already know? Do you wish me to deny it?

Reyson: If the dark god is awakened, the world will once again be flooded. And this time, even our continent will fall. You will not survive that event… Do you truly desire such an end?

Ashnard: I do. Oh, how I do… It’s true. The world may be destroyed by the coming of the dark god. Then again, it may not. I question the way in which our society is designed. No matter what strength a person has, it is the station he is born into that controls his destiny. And you cannot control where you will be born. Do you believe that a person of low birth should simply endure the curse of his station? I think not. If you are stronger than those around you, you should benefit from your strength. This is why I will use my strength to remake this world. Class and rank will not matter. Human and sub-human will not matter. The strong will possess everything. The weak will submit to their will. Is this not the meaning of peace?

Reyson: Are you saying that the lives of those without strength have no value?

Ashnard: That is the natural order. The only way for the weak to survive is to cling to the strong. Our discussion is over. Tell me, frail little bird who cannot fight; which do you choose? Submission? Or death?

Reyson: …Life proffered to me by your hand is something I would never accept!

Ashnard: Very well… Then I will give you the alternative! You will be a weight around my neck no more!

Ashnard vs Giffca

Ashnard: You’re the one they speak of in whispers… The lion king’s shadow. What are you doing so far from your body, shadow? Am I so terrible that your king hides in fear?

Giffca: Your strength, King of Daein, [even with your medallion,] is not sufficient. That is why I am here. If I fail to stop you today, then your next opponent will be our king. But first, this imposter will measure your fighting prowess. (Depends on which form of Ashnard)

Ashnard: What impudence! Are you prepared become a pile of bones for your king? You’ll make a fine snack!

Bryce vs Ike

Bryce: So you’re the enemy general, eh? You’re much younger than I had imagined.

Ike: My age matters not. The palace will be ours this day.

Bryce: We will not relinquish it so easily. But allow me to introduce myself as befits a warrior. I am Bryce of Daein.

Ike: And I am Ike of the Greil Mercenaries. Now… Let us begin!

(Bryce defeated)

Ike: Your name was Bryce, was it not? You fought…a good fight.

Bryce: As…did you…Ike. I…commend you… Your style of fencing…is unique… Who was your teacher?

Ike: My father. Greil.

Bryce: I thought…I recognized that style. You truly are Gawain’s… I see it…now… The resemblance…is strong…

Ike: Farewell, knight.

Bryce vs Ena

Bryce: Ena… You, too, have had your fate warped by the king. You should pray that you at least know peace in your final moments.

Bryce vs Tauroneo

Bryce: Ah, Tauroneo… I see that you have found another path to follow. Perhaps you were inspired by my old friend Gawain.

Tauroneo: Tell me, Bryce. Beyond mountains of corpses, what do you see Ashnard bringing to the future of this place?

Bryce: …I see nothing, save for a land of absolute darkness and terror.

Tauroneo: Then why fight by his side?

Bryce: Some men can change, Tauroneo. Others cannot… I am of the latter type. There is no other reason.

Ashnard vs Beast Laguz

Ashnard: That is not the extent of your might, beast tribe warrior! I will not allow you to die while the great power within you still slumbers. Release your rage! Release your hate! Show me the fury you keep inside!

Ashnard vs Hawk Laguz

Ashnard: Hawks of Phoenicis! How strong are you that Begnion should fear you so? I trust I may expect good things from our battle.

Ashnard vs Tauroneo

Ashnard: Is that you, Tauroneo? As I thought… You betrayed me after all.

Tauroneo: …

Ashnard:In my father’s time, there was a man who was one of the Four Steadfast Riders. That man grew old and useless, and retired from the front lines. How does his story end, you ask? Come, let us write it together.

Tauroneo: Oh, my king… In all of Daein’s history, perhaps no other ruler has used the talents at his command to the degree you have… But all the same, no other king has chosen a path so incredibly stupid.

Ashnard: Heh heh heh… Will history judge me to be just or evil? We will not know until all of this is finished.

Tauroneo: …Now that I’ve confronted you and traded words with you, I have come to a decision. Throughout Daein, I, Tauroneo, will be known as the king killer. Come! Let me earn my name!

Ashnard vs Haar

Ashnard: Who are you, dog?

Haar: You don’t seem to recall my name… I’m a man who was once a part of your army, if just barely.

Ashnard: You’re some nobody who turned traitor and joined the Crimeans? I’ve no interest in you. Begone.

Haar: I’ll leave as quickly as I’m able. Right after I’ve taken your head!

Ashnard vs Jill

Ashnard: Annoying little insect. Whose path is it that you think to block?

Jill: …My father died because of you. He tried so hard…to prove he was a loyal citizen of Daein. And you never recognized his efforts. Not even once.

Ashnard: Are you complaining to me? Come back some other time. I’m busy.

Jill: Answer me! My father was General Shiharam! Why did he have to die?

Ashnard: Eh? Who are you talking about? The name is unfamiliar… I don’t think we ever had such a general.

Jill: What?

Ashnard: This is a waste of time. Leave my sight at once.

Jill: …Ashnard… Ashnard!! ASHNARD!! I…will never forgive you! NEVER!!!
