This is a transcript of the cutscene before the two parts of the final battle. That means MAJOR ENDING SPOILERS!! A number of lines may be different depending on what characters you recruited for your optionals (In this playthrough, I had Nel and Albel). Certain bits of dialogue also have a random variation. Different possibilities are shown like this: Person A: Meow~ // Person B: Since when do squirrels meow? Person C: Moo? // This means that after Person A says his line, ONE of the people in between the // (that means EITHER Person B OR Person C) will speak. ========== [Fayt and co. enter the massive door, which leads to a strange room that appears to be floating in empty space. Towering panels that look and sound like stained glass "clocks" with pendulums tick away ominously. They form a circle around a glowing light, which must be control panel for the Eternal Sphere's central database.] Luther: Why ... why is this happening ... *raises arms in bewilderment* Blair: *steps up* Owner ... I mean, Luther ... Now do you understand? Stop this right now! Luther: *turns* Blair!? So you led them here. Your defiance knows no bounds, my sister. // Nel: You're brother and sister!? Albel: Hmph, so that's what's going on. // Maria: *shakes her head* So, Blair is the Owner's sister ... Blair: The life forms spawned within the Eternal Sphere have attained a level of intellectual development that rivals our own. It's time to let them go their own way. Luther: You're kidding me ... They're nothing but data. The cosmos of the Eternal Sphere is a toy! It's just a game! Blair: Now that they've developed minds equal to our own, how are they any different from us? The evidence is clear. It's getting harder and harder to interfere in their dimension as we please. Doesn't that prove that they've become equals? That they deserve to live? Luther: But they've gained the power to cross into our own dimension and inflict harm on us. Such dangerous entities cannot be ignored ... Blair: They didn't appear in our dimension until you tried to destroy theirs. In my mind, they have done nothing wrong by coming here to stop you. Luther: What are you talking about? The very existence of entities like these is causing massive bugs in the Eternal Sphere itself. Tell me what's wrong with eliminating flawed code? // Maria: Flawed code? But you were the one who claims to have written us in the first place! Still ... that does not mean we'll stand by and let you do as you please. We should live and die according to our own free will! Fayt: *closes his eyes and shakes his head* Flawed code? Sure we might be entities created by your hand. But that doesn't give you the right to decide everything! *gestures angrily* We deserve the right to live and die on our own! // Luther: This is ridiculous. *points* You're nothing more than a collection of 0s and 1s ... Sophia: No matter what the real truth is, the fact is we have thoughts and feelings of our own. We want to save our dimension, and everyone in it. Fayt: *nods* She's right! We've come all this way, thanks to the thoughts and feelings of countless people. Allowing you to erase us would betray them all! Luther: *shakes his head* Thoughts and feelings? What rubbish. Your thoughts and feelings are nothing more than fabrications modeled on our own. Blair: Luther! You still don't get it, do you!? Luther: *throws out his arms* Shut up already, Blair! It's you who doesn't understand! No matter how high a level of existence they try to reach, they're still nothing but fabrications! Data should obey the will of their creator and submit to deletion! // Albel: *draws sword* Like we'd let you do that! Nel: *draws daggers* Don't mess with us! Cliff: *clenches fists* You're asking for it! // Sophia: *draws staff* We won't give up! Fayt: *draws sword* Don't think everything will go your way! We're not your toys! [Closeup to Luther's face. He snarls. The first half of the final boss battle begins] Luther: *after the battle, kneeling close to the ground* This can't be ... I'm the Creator. Why is this happening!? *punches the ground* Blair: *kneels down beside him* Luther ... Stop this right now. *gets up* Hurry, everyone. Get the Eternal Sphere back up. I'll try to fill in the gaps the best I can. Fayt: *nods* Luther: This makes no sense ... How could this happen to me? How could I be surpassed by my own creations? *Fayt walks towards the control panel and Luther starts up and knocks him down. Luther gets up* Now I see ... It's because I took the easy way out by only erasing the problematic data. If the viruses are working together to create their own data, then I should delete everything! Blair: L-Luther? Luther: Hahahaha ... THat's it! I won't stop with the Milky Way Galaxy, I'll completely delete all the datal linked to the Eternal Sphere! That will completely eliminate these viruses, too! Heh heh heh ... *turns back to look at Fayt and co.* It's so simple. Why didn't I think of it before? It all ends now. No more of your silly tricks. I'll delete the whole universe!!! Ahahahaahahahahaha!!! Blair: *tries to stop him* What are you doing!? You're putting yourself in grave danger by trying this while you're still projected into the Eternal Sphere! Luther, don't do it! [A brilliant zap of light :P] Luther: Haahahahahaha ... *flails about* Die! Die!Die! Die! Die! Die ...! Be gone, everyone and everything! Righteousness shall prevail!!! [The second half of the final boss battle begins]
