WHAT IS THIS?
In Rena's story, if you leave Phynal after the final save point and return 
to Fun City, you can find Claude requesting a rematch with Dias in the Arena.

This time, he is beatable.

multiple sweatdrops as opposed to one big one. xD

*these are actions ...*

__________

*Rena wanders into the left area of the Arena and finds Dias and Claude*

Claude: Can you do me one more favor before the final battle?
I want you to fight me again.

Rena: (yellow!) Claude, are you sure?

*she trots over to stand across from the two of them*

Dias: (...) Come to think of it, I haven't fought you since the Armory Contest. 
Get ready; I won't go easy on you.

*they draw swords. Auto-battle begins*

[IF CLAUDE LOSES]

*Claude is down on one knee*

Who will you talk to?
	# Claude!
	## Dias!

Rena: *makes her way to Claude* Claude!

Claude: Dammit ... I still can't beat you, Dias ...

Rena: Claude ...

Dias: You're far more different than you were in the Armory Contest, Claude ... 
far, far stronger.

Claude: *gets up* Dias ...

Dias: You've found something to fight for in this world ... friends to protect. 
That's what makes you so strong.
- You have what it takes, Claude. Protect the world ... and protect Rena for me.
*he walks off*

Claude: Thanks, Dias.

Rena: *turns to Claude* Nice job, Claude.

[If you speak to Claude again] Claude: Do you think I'll be able to beat Dias by the 
end of our journey?

Rena: Dias!

Claude: I'm still not good enough ...

Rena: He did a good job, didn't he, Dias?

Dias: He did. I just wish this fight could have gone on a little longer.

Claude: *Sigh*

Dias: But you've got what it takes to win the final battle.

*Claude gets to his feet as Dias exits*

Rena: Dias ... you're finally accepting him, aren't you?

Claude: Thanks, Dias ... but I want to be stronger. Stronger than you.

Rena: Claude ...

[If you speak to Claude again] Claude: Do you think I'll be able to beat Dias by the 
end of our journey?

Rena: Claude!

Dias: *gets up* Heh ... nice work, Claude. I'd say the world's safe in your hands. 
Take good care of Rena while you're at it.
*leaves*

Claude: Dias let up on me. I'm sure of it.

Rena: That's not true! You gave Dias everything you had. 
You won it fair and square, Claude.

Claude: Thanks, Rena. Now we've got another battle to win.

Rena: Mm-hmm.

[If you speak to Claude again]  Claude: I think I might finally be strong enough 
for my skills to be recognized by others.

Rena: Dias!

Claude: I-I won ...

Dias: *gets up* You've gotten stronger than before, Claude. *makes to leave*

Rena: Dias!

Dias: *stops* Rena ... what do you think is the source of Claude's strength?

Rena: Hmm?

Dias: It's you. So stay by his side, Rena. *exits*

Rena: ... Dias.

[If you speak to Claude again]  Claude: I think I might finally be strong enough
