City
-As you fly up the stairs-
-Dead bodies are everywhere-
-Sprawled-
-Without any further interruptions, you reach the end of this particular stairwell-
-There is a room on the other side of the top door-
... I sense a ward here. I will need to crack it open before we can move on.
-OUTSIDE PEOPLE-
.... Shit.
No, not now, not now-
-John takes the stairs ten at a time-
Battlefield
-LOOF-
Right. Okay. Yes.
...
Okay, if true, that is pretty cool. What kind?
-Lance-
Good. Go on Barkley.
He was... a Messian prisoner. It was a convenient way for us to dispose of them... like that time, so many years ago, with the boy... God placed him right into my hands. It helped you too, you know.
-Stanton carefully controls his face-
What was his crime?
He and... a friend of his, thought they could infiltrate us. Thought they could take us down, before our plan could succeed. Chris, and Ben their names were. One of them escaped, the other one was captured, sacrificing himself so his friend could run free.
-Hey, one of those names should be vaguely familiar for anyone there from the start, the other one is not tho-
The one we caught, he was the one we strapped to the chair.
Battlefield
-He listens to Loof with a blank expression on his face-
I'll try not to make a habit out of that.
-Lance-
Feh! The great advances are always made by people like me.
But many Messians agreed with you. This was my third and final chance... I couldn't go behind their backs, they had to watch over me... watching my every move... restricting me...
-Kosuke-
W-we didn't know. I think that one escaped, and went to meet up with another friend. Hiji-something was overheard.
They found out about Conception you see. Or one of them did. Always a fringe idea, but gaining more and more popularity.
No wonder one of them was willing to die to save the other, get the word out.
City
-The UNLOCK-
-Does not work-
Not so simple I'm afraid.
-Chris goes down, and begins to work-
-His hands are shaking, but he speaks to himself-
Ben... Hiji... your sacrifices will not go to waste.
-The loudspeaker crackles to life again-
What's the matter? A little pooped out? Your friends outside are coming too you know, they kept their promsises.... but only for a little bit longer... before this world goes kaput!
-As Chris works, he speaks without looking at any of the security cameras-
Kefka... you want to end the world right? For what reason I don't know but... I have met people like you before. Countless times.
And there's something you should know about this world.
-He continues tracing circles over the seal-
Something all of you should know, really. This is the last chance I will have to say this, before the end.
After all, once we pass this, you'll be dead ahead of us.

I am not sensing any falsehood from him. Keep talking.
-Regarding Conception-
The young lady has the right idea. It is, Conception. The genesis of a new world... and the end of the old.
You can see why it was a controversial decision to go ahead with that plan... but with new revelations, we did.
That's why I'm telling you this. I'm not one of the saved. When we summoned that demon, in that chair... it felt like a servant of the Will. And it wrote the words.
I tried to keep them from knowing. It could have been a mistake... I was a good servant, I learned my mistakes, the Will wanted me to make his soldiers.
But I have not been extracted by the Messians. and n-
-Klara-
-Stanton nods-
Then likely they are connected. No wonder you found your way here.
-Barkley however-
-Blinks in surprise-
What? Y-you must be mistaken...
Ben was the one who escaped. We captured Chris, and he died on that chair when we summoned it, and it possessed him.
City
Go on then! What is it?
-Chris stands up straight and Speaks with a loud voice-
Mene mene tekel uparshin.
-With those words all strength vanishes from the party-
-Drawn into a point, deadened by the ward that Chris had placed on them-
-John looks back at Fen, sensing something, a strange expression on his face-
-The door at the top of the stairwell slams shut, and a seal appears over it-
-A vast light shines through Chris' body, as it crumbles away from him-
-And with a sound of a thousand beating wings, a new form appears
◊-
-The Angel smiles kindly down at them
-
Fear not, Sons and Daughters of Man. Everything is going according to my glimpse of the Will's plan.
And you have been chosen for a great task: the creation of a new world.
