Beyond the Trial
The Inchoate World unleashes his full power to overcome the trial that is the crew. A final showdown ensues.
Inchoate World: You've come.
By tracking the aura of the Inchoate World, the crew finally reaches the center of his realm.
The Inchoate World looks down on the crew as he speaks, a hint of surprise in his breath.
Inchoate World: How strangely comforting... Though you obstacles in my path normally fill me with disgust...
Inchoate World: Seeing you as a trial meant to be overcome fills me with pride and joy.
Inchoate World: The face of fate changes depending on your interpretation. And my interpretation has led me to birth a new world.
Inchoate World: You are nothing but nuisances now—stepping stones on my path to world creation... That is how I define your fates.
Katzelia: Stepping stones? Fate? Heh, surely you jest.
Inchoate World: What?
Katzelia: Your own fate ends here—there are no more stepping stones for you. Learn to use language befitting of yourself.
Katzelia: You'll do well to remember the final word in your dictionary: "Failure."
Inchoate World: Yes... this will do. A fool pretending to be emperor is a far more worthy trial than a laudable Evoker.
Katzelia: I am not pretending. I am the emperor.
Inchoate World: Arrogance is a crime.
Katzelia: In that case, the one to undergo judgment will be you.
Inchoate World: Once I have created my new world, I will be the new reason. The right to judge will be mine.
Inchoate World: The time has come to bury you all as wretched artifacts of the old world!
Fierce winds begin to blow around them, causing the various colors to converge on the Inchoate World.
As he is encased in what appears to be some sort of cocoon, Lyria audibly gasps.
Lyria: Watch out! The Inchoate World is getting stronger!
Inchoate World: You antiquated relics will become the cornerstone of the new world. For that is your fate; that is providence.
Inchoate World: You have no future beyond today. Your destinies end here. I shall wipe away your very souls from existence!
Beyond the Trial: Scene 2
The crew finally defeats the Inchoate World and returns to the Sky Realm. With their battle against The World over, Katzelia decides it is time to return to Galgenia together with Judgement and ascend to the throne as emperor.
Inchoate World: Rgh!
Inchoate World: Impossible! I should be the one who decides destiny!
Inchoate World: All trials succumb before me... Your defeat here was supposed to mark the celebration of the new world's creation...
Inchoate World: But yet... how is it that mortals of the old world have bested me!
Katzelia: Now it is clear who was the overly arrogant one. The crime is yours to bear.
Katzelia: I hereby sentence you to execution!
Katzelia: Emperor Katzelia himself shall personally send you to your grave!
Katzelia's raging winds batter mercilessly against the Inchoate World.
Inchoate World: Gwaaah!
Inchoate World: Damn you... Damn you all! How could I lose...
Inchoate World: What of my new world!
His hands reach out, only to grasp at thin air. Cracks begin to form all over the Inchoate World's body.
Inchoate World: Guuuuh!
With a deafening roar, the Inchoate World lets out a flash of light followed by a harsh noise that stains the world white.
Vyrn: What... happened to us? Where's the Inchoate World?
Katzelia: Seems like the winds were a little too strong. I'd intended to send him to the execution grounds, but he ended up crumbling before I was able to do so.
(Captain) and company wake up to find themselves collapsed on the deck of the Grandcypher. Katzelia tilts his head up to look at the sky.
Lyria: I don't sense the Inchoate World's presence anywhere... The sphere's disappeared as well. Is it over?
Judgement: I cannot find The World either. I believe we can safely assume he has been terminated.
Katzelia: Only foolish things happen when fools obtain power. Easy to see why he chose my brother to disguise himself as.
Katzelia: Our battle with him may be over, but my wish has not yet been fulfilled. Until then, it is not truly over.
Vyrn: So you're gonna return to your country and become emperor?
Lyria: Your brother is still chasing after you, isn't he?
Katzelia: Yes... But I am growing tired of being chased. It's time for me to stand up against him.
Katzelia: He is the man who killed the members of my orchestra and laid the blame on me.
Katzelia: I cannot tolerate the fact that a criminal who deserves proper judgment is sitting on Galgenia's throne as emperor.
Lyria: Please let us know if there's anything we can help with!
Katzelia: Heh. I want to be surprised, but after everything you've done for me already, I suppose I shouldn't be.
Monika's Voice: Hey! Is everyone all right?
Just then, they hear a voice calling out to them from afar.
When they turn toward the sound, they spot an airship approaching, with Monika and Lecia standing on its deck.
Vyrn: They must be here to check up on us, now that the sphere's gone.
Lyria: We're fine! Nobody's hurt!
As (Captain) and the others report to the Crew of Enforcers on what happened inside the sphere, Judgement turns to Katzelia.
Judgement: Katze, my objective has been fulfilled. You have my gratitude.
Katzelia: Now it's my turn. I will need your assistance.
Judgement: Very well. What shall we do with the others?
Katzelia: I need to borrow the crew's power as well, albeit only momentarily. I plan to give a solo performance to my brother.
Judgement: I take it you already have a way to enter the country then.
Katzelia: Our time inside the sphere has given me an idea. It seems The World was not entirely useless.
After an intense struggle against the Inchoate World, Katzelia finds himself with a new power.
Now he fixates his eyes on his real goal, which he must fulfill by first returning to the Galgenia Empire.
