Chapter 23: The Dark Pontifex Lives (Script)
Main story
Marth:
Chris, just ahead is the Dark Pontifex, Gharnef--possibly the strongest sorcerer alive... or dead. Chris...
(If Chris has high Res)
Marth:
Your resistance to magic is impeccable. You might just be our strongest hope of defeating Gharnef. Yes. If you are there, then... we stand to win.
Chris:
Sire... I'm honored. I'll give it my all!
(Medium Res)
Marth:
You're fairly resistant to magic, but you'd be at risk facing Gharnef. If you must fight him, please take all the necessary precautions.
Chris:
Yes, sire. Thank you.
(Low Res)
Marth:
You're not very resistant to magic...
Chris:
T-that's, er, true...
Marth:
'Twould be best if you avoided Gharnef. But in any case, please be extra careful.
(Map Start)
Gharnef:
So you've come, boy. How many times must you get in my way? Enough! I tire of our games!!
Marth:
Gharnef, what have you done with my sister and the others?! Release them at once!
Gharnef:
Heh heh heh... I've allowed them the honor of being sacrifices for the Shadow Dragon's resurrection. You will never see them again. Emperor Medeus will soon be reborn in his true and darkest form. And they will usher in a new era. 'Tis a pity. Their souls couldn't bear the suffering and shattered into pieces... Even I am powerless to help them. Shame, really. I have them to thank for the Shadow Dragon's awakening. Not even the Binding Shield can stop him now. I applaud you for coming this far. But... little prince... you will go no further. I will kill you here, and you will die knowing that you are nothing!!
(Fighting Gharnef)
Gharnef:
Heh heh heh... Perhaps... a taste of Imhullu's might is necessary.
(Fighting Gharnef with Marth)
Gharnef:
Your blade is blunt before me, Marth... I'll smash you and the Binding Shield into pieces!!
Marth:
I do not intend to fall here. Out of my way, Gharnef!
(Fighting Gharnef with Chris (F))
Gharnef:
Heh heh heh... Allow me demonstrate Imhullu's might...
Chris:
I will not let Prince Marth die. I won't...!
(Fighting Gharnef with Chris (M))
Gharnef:
Heh heh heh... Allow me demonstrate Imhullu's might...
Chris:
I will not let Prince Marth die. I won't let the likes of you lay even a finger on him...!
(Killing Gharnef)
Gharnef:
Heh heh... You're too late... The end is nigh...
(Stage Ending)
(If Chris is female)
Chris:
Sire, this way. There are stairs here, leading up.
(If Chris is male)
Chris:
Sire, this way. More stairs!
