Paralogue 15: A Shot from the Dark (Script)

Pre-Battle
Ezra
All alone are you, lamb? Off searching for dear old mum? How very sweet. But the world's a dangerous place, my dear, full of wolves waitin' to snatch you up.
Noire
Um...th-thank you for the warning, sir, b-but...
Ezra
That's no warning, lamb. I'm a wolf, and you've been snatched! Now come quietly. Scars tend to lower the sale price, and we wouldn't want that...
Frederick
Slavers, milord. Such damnable scum...
Chrom
We'll have to hurry if we hope to catch them.
Tharja
Or we could stay right here and just let me go to work on them. A curse to wither them away, perhaps? A slow death over a year? Oh, fie. Let's make it two.
Chrom
I think their captive would likely appreciate something a bit more immediate. Shepherds! Saving the girl is our top priority! Now move out!
Start Battle
Noire
It's over... My life is over... Mother, I'll be by your side soon...
>Battle Start
Ally Phase
Noire
So this is how it ends... Killed...or worse. A clean death would be a mercy compared to what awaits... Huh? What's this? An old bow? Hmm, the string's still taut. I suppose I could use this to try and fight my way out. B-but those bandits are so strong and scary and... W-wait! My talisman! Let me just grab my talisman and then... ...... ...I AM THE FIRE AND THE FURY! ALL WHO DEFY ME WILL PERISH! REPENT, SCUM! REPENT THOUGH IT WILL SAVE YOU NOT! REPENT AND DESPAIR! BWAAA HA HA HA HA!
>Noire becomes controllable
Noire defeated as "Ally"
Noire
Farewell...
VS Ezra
Ezra
More meat for the wolf, is it?
Ezra Defeated
Ezra
I've...had my fill...
Post-Battle
If Noire was defeated
Chrom
Damn and blazes! The girl is lost. ...There's nothing more for us here. Let's be on our way...
If Noire survived
Noire
Oh, thank you! Thank you so much! Had you not saved me, I... I fear to even think what would have happened...
Chrom
It's all right, take it easy. No one's going to hurt you now.
Noire
*Sniff* P-please, sir... Let me come with you. There's someone I need to talk to, but I'm s-scared to be alone...
>scene change
Tharja
What do you want?
Noire
I, um... I mean... Er... H-here, please look at this.
Tharja
Nice ring. Looks just like mine. You messing around with alchemy? Or is this something...darker?
Noire
Wha—? N-no! It's nothing of the sort! It's just...
Tharja
Tell me the truth, girl. You don't want to see what happens if you lie to me.
Noire
P-please, just give me... I n-need a moment... M-my talisman... Wh-where is my talisman... ......
Tharja
......
Noire
I AM BLOOD AND THUNDER! I AM A RIGHTEOUS FURY! ...I AM YOUR FUTURE DAUGHTER!
Tharja
You are trying my patience.
Noire
INSOLENCE! I speak the truth! The ring I bear also hails from the future. A memento of you, my departed mother!
Tharja
And that bizarre talisman?
Noire
Your own handiwork! Wrought to steel the mewling heart of your coward daughter! In its strength did I find blessed escape from grief and solitude! Fear of death and killing, too, it drove from me, until I became an avatar of retribution! Only by clinging to it have I survived the crushing desolation of a ruinated future! BWAAA HA HA HA HA!
Tharja
Oh, give me that.
Noire
Um, w-wait! I need that! Without it, I can't—
Tharja
Survive? You can and will. And not by becoming some avatar of retribution. Just be my daughter. Leave the retribution to me.
Noire
M-Mother...
Tharja
My, this is a nasty little number. The future me is good. ...And very, very bad. Hee hee. I can't wait.
Noire
M-Mother, you're f-frightening me! ...A-again!
Tharja
This little trinket will advance my research in the dark arts nicely... Hmm... You have my blood, right? I'm going to need a bit of it back.
Noire
Aaaaiiieee! I... I mean... BLEED ME DRY AND I SHALL BE AS THUNDER STILL!
Tharja
See? No daughter of mine needs some mummer's prop to be strong. Hee... Hee hee...
Noire
BWAAA HA HA HA HA!
Tharja
Eee hee hee hee hee!
Chrom
Oh, this is just wonderful...
