(Five moogles are living peacefully in the Farplane)

Moogle

(A dark crystal appears in the sky)

Moogle
 * Was there a crystal there before, kupo?

Moogle
 * I don't know, kupo.

Moogle
 * I've got a bad feeling about this, kupo...

Moogle
 * Should we go take a look, kupo?

Moogle
 * I'm scared, kupo...

(The dark crystal glows)

Moogles


 * Kupo!?

(The moogles run away. Somewhere else, a vision of Aldore King Rain appears)

Rain
 * Is this...the Farplane?


 * Why am I here?


 * Did somebody call me here? Does this mean...that this body of mine is a vision?

(Visions of Hess King Lasswell and Blue Mage Fina appear)

Rain
 * Lasswell! Fina!

Lasswell
 * R-Rain!? And Fina!? What's going on here?

Fina
 * I...could have sworn I was on the Farplane Express just a second ago...

Lasswell
 * Farplane's press? What's that? And those clothes you're wearing...

Fina
 * U-uh! Don't worry about it! And, um, these clothes are...


 * (Wh-what should I do? These two already have enough on their plates...)

Rain


 * I'm sure she's got her reasons, yeah? She'll tell us when she's ready.

Lasswell
 * ...Very well. It's not as if I have any intention of forcing it out of you. I'll be waiting, then.

Fina
 * Thanks, Rain, Lasswell.


 * I'm so glad I get to see the two of you again!

Rain
 * Same here.


 * But...it doesn't look like we can celebrate for too long.

Lasswell
 * I take it you've noticed it as well, Rain. This... incredibly ominous presence...

Rain
 * Yeah. There has to be some reason we were brought here.


 * And it's probably-

Fina
 * Rain! Lasswell! Take a look at that!

(They see a dark crystal in the sky)

Rain
 * Wh-what the hell is that...?

Lasswell
 * A black...crystal...?

(The crystal opens and a large portal appears)

April 23, 2020
Fina
 * Rain! Lasswell! Take a look at that!

(They see a dark crystal in the sky)

Rain
 * Wh-what the hell is that...?

Lasswell
 * A black...crystal...?

(The crystal opens and a large portal appears, with red eyes glowing inside)

Lasswell
 * ...The reason we're all here seems to have something to do with the hole that the crystal just created.

Rain
 * And it may have been the moogles crying out for help that summoned us.


 * This looks like it'll be a rough battle.

Fina
 * But we can overcome anything as long as we're together! Right?

Rain
 * Yeah!

Lasswell
 * That's right. The three of us can fell any foe, no matter how fearsome!

(The eyes inside the hole glow stronger)

Rain
 * This looks like it'll be a rough battle.

Fina
 * But we can overcome anything as long as we're together! Right?

Rain
 * Yeah!

Lasswell
 * That's right. The three of us can fell any foe, no matter how fearsome!

(A cinematic scene shows Dark Bahamut appearing from the hole in the sky, and Rain jumps in his direction to attack. The Dark Visions logo appears. Rain returns to the ground)

Rain
 * Ngh! This power! The enemy is ridiculously strong!

Lasswell
 * Look! Monsters are flooding out from inside that hole!

Rain
 * Huh...!? That one alone is plenty enough to deal with, but this many...

Lasswell
 * With only the three of us, this may pose quite the challenge...but even so!

Rain
 * Like hell we're giving up!

(Visions of Akstar, Sol and Charlotte appear)

Fina
 * Rain! Lasswell! Look, they're...

Lasswell
 * I see... They've come to assist, have they?

Rain
 * Thanks, everyone!


 * All right! Now we've got this!

Lasswell
 * With our powers combined...we're unstoppable!

Fina
 * Let's do this! Rain, Lasswell, everyone!

April 25, 2020
Dark Ramuh
 * Oho... To think that lowly visions of mankind would manage to reach such a place.

Fina
 * That figure... Could that be Ramuh?

Lasswell
 * Most likely. But...he's different from the Ramuh we know.

(Dark Ramuh attacks)

Fina
 * Aah!

Lasswell
 * Guh! There's no talking to him, huh!

Rain
 * It doesn't seem like Ramuh can be reasoned with! Brace yourselves, everyone!

Dark Ramuh
 * Born am I from the crystal of darkness...


 * In my thunder does the dark energy crackle. Revel in its rumbling fury!

April 30, 2020
(Dark Ramuh is defeated)

Lasswell
 * The enemies...stopped attacking?

Fina
 * D-did we win?

Rain
 * No. There's still one left.

Lasswell
 * But he doesn't seem to be taking an offensive stance. It's more like he's watching to see what we do.

Fina
 * It's fine! The fighting stopped, so it's our win!

Rain
 * Haha... Maybe so.

Rain, Lasswell and Fina

Lasswell
 * In any case, we succeeded in greatly reducing their forces.


 * Now is not the time to let our guard down, however. We should make ready for the next assault.

Rain
 * Well said, Lasswell.


 * Our battle with him...looks like it's going to be an arduous one.

(The screen darkens, and bright red eyes appear)

May 28, 2020
Rain, Lasswell and Fina

Lasswell
 * Ugh... Another new enemy!

Rain
 * They just keep coming... This isn't good.

Fina
 * We just have to keep fighting!

Rain
 * Right! Let's do this!

May 30, 2020
(The group is attacked)

Fina
 * Ahh!

(Dark Tetra Sylphid appears)

Fina
 * Tetra Sylphid?


 * It's unlike such chatterboxes to attack without even a hello.

Lasswell
 * Fina, get ready to fight!

Rain
 * You'll get hurt if you don't!

Dark Tetra Sylphid
 * Tehehe... Sister, some humans have come.


 * Stand still and be battered by our winds!

(Dark Tetra Sylphid creates a powerful wind)

Fina
 * This wind... It's gonna blow us away!

Lasswell
 * Don't back down! We can win if we work together!

Rain
 * Lasswell's right. Everyone, give it your all!

June 4, 2020
(Dark Tetra Sylphid is defeated)

Rain
 * Hah... It appears we've won.

Lasswell
 * What's wrong, Fina?

Fina
 * It was so hard to fight them... They look just like Tetra Sylphid.

Rain
 * It may have been hard, but we can't just ignore such dangerous power.

Lasswell
 * We have to keep fighting... No matter how hard it may be.

Rain
 * Let's keep going for now.

Fina
 * ...Yeah. You're right!

June 25, 2020
Rain
 * Their numbers keep growing, and their attacks are getting even more powerful...


 * And not only that, it feels like something really big is coming our way, too.

Lasswell
 * The ground is shaking... Could it be...!?

Rain, Lasswell and Fina

Fina
 * Guys! Eyes forward!

June 29, 2020
Rain


 * ...Here she comes!

(Dark Alexander appears)

Delegate

Lasswell
 * As I thought... Alexander is here, as well.

Delegate
 * (You have been deemed unjust. Accept divine punishment from this mechanical castle.)

(Dark Alexander attacks)

Rain
 * Ugh! Where's a jury when you need one!

Lasswell
 * If we work together, we should be able to defeat it!

Fina
 * Everyone! We've got this!

Delegate
 * (You shall not reach the realm of the Dark Dragon King...!)


 * (Now, be cleansed by my sacred judgment!)

July 6, 2020
Rain
 * ...There was one thing that struck me as odd.

Lasswell
 * "Dark Dragon King," was it?

Fina
 * So that winged monster is really Bahamut?

Lasswell
 * Seems like there's a pretty good chance.


 * Do you remember what Dark Ramuh said? "Born am I from the crystal of darkness."

Rain
 * If that's the case, these creatures are all separate from the espers we know, the Dark Dragon King included.

Lasswell
 * They may not be completely unrelated, but their existance certainly is suspicious.

Fina
 * A Bahamut who isn't Bahamut...


 * Do you think we can beat him?

Rain
 * Of course we can. No, we will! Absolutely!

Fina
 * Rain... Yeah! You're right!

(A large image of Bahamut appears)

Dark Bahamut
 * ...Fools.

(The image disappears)

Rain, Lasswell and Fina

Lasswell
 * He's finally come.

Rain
 * Bahamut!

July 16, 2020
Dark Bahamut
 * What truly pitiful beings.


 * What chance of victory fo you have?


 * Drown in your own negativity, and be swallowed by the darkness.

Lasswell
 * Rain. The power emanating from these monsters isn't something to scoff at.

Rain
 * Lasswell. You can always run away if you're scared.

Lasswell
 * Heh... Your teasing really takes me back.

Fina
 * Don't worry! There's no way we'll lose if we're together!

Rain & Lasswell
 * Right!

Dark Bahamut
 * Feel free to continue your pointless resistance.

Rain, Lasswell and Fina

Dark Bahamut
 * My servants! Drag the fools that stand before me into the depths of darkness!

July 20, 2020
Dark Bahamut
 * To think you'd dare stand before the Dark Dragon King.


 * Is this the strength of man, who cannot grow without the sustenance of war?

Rain


 * We are not fighting because we want to.


 * Dark Bahamut. Take your underlings and go home. Then you don't have to fight us.

Dark Bahamut
 * How utterly foolish. Do you honestly think that you can defeat me!?


 * What contempt! Insolence! Ignorance! Even death is too generous!


 * Accept my dark flames! And not even the tiniest sliver of your soul will remain!

July 23, 2020
Dark Bahamut
 * Ngh... For petty humans to...cause I, the Dark Dragon King, such distress...


 * From where did you obtain such power?

Rain
 * People's hearts may create darkness, but they also create light.

Lasswell
 * It's all too easy to fall prey to darkness. We're frail, unstable beings.

Fina
 * However... As long as light remains inside our hearts...

Rain
 * We will not give in to the darkness!

Dark Bahamut
 * Haha... Hahaha... We creatures of darkness were born from the hearts of man.


 * I may have just slightly underestimated the strength of you humans.


 * Very well... A reward for causing me this much grief.


 * Allow me to show you the true might of the Dark Dragon King!

Lasswell
 * Aghhh!

Fina
 * What ominous power...!

Rain
 * This is...the Dark Dragon King's true strength!

Dark Bahamut
 * Humans! Prepare to savor even more agonizing dark flames!

August 20, 2020
Dark Bahamut
 * Humans! Prepare to savor even more agonizing dark flames!

Rain
 * Hah, we haven't lost yet! Let's go, everyone!

Rain, Lasswell and Fina

Dark Bahamut
 * Heh, by unleashing my true strength, my dark brethren are becoming more aggressive.


 * How about entertaining them before the main event?

(Dark Bahamut leaves)

Rain
 * Looks like we have to take care of these monsters first. How about it, can you two still fight?

Lasswell
 * Of course. We can't afford to lose here.

Fina
 * We need to hurry and defeat the Dark Dragon King and restore peace to the Farplane!

Rain
 * This time it's the final battle. Let's go, everyone!

August 22, 2020
Dark Bahamut
 * So you've come, humans. Let us begin the battle.


 * Feel the despair of my dark flames!

Rain
 * Ngh... What strength...!

Lasswell
 * Can we defeat him with just the three of us?

(Visions of Sol, Akstar, and Charlotte appear)

Rain, Lasswell and Fina

Fina
 * Everyone! You came to help us!

Lasswell
 * The ultimate reinforcements!

Dark Bahamut
 * So the light from your hearts summoned other sources of light...


 * Very well. Take all the light and power you can muster and fight me with everything that you have!

Rain
 * C'mon everyone, we need to team up to defeat the Dark Dragon King!

August 27, 2020
Dark Bahamut


 * We were created from the black crystal, born from human negativity.


 * Even if I am defeated here, I will not disappear from this world.


 * When the world is again enveloped in despair, we will reappear and obliterate everything.

Rain
 * Should that time come, we'll do something about it.


 * Even if we're not here then, someone is sure to carry on our will and fulfill our duty.

Dark Bahamut
 * ...Very well.


 * Should you humans wield your true strength, you would emerge victorious.


 * However, be overcome with despair and victory is ours.


 * Do your best to prevent the world from falling into darkness...

(Dark Bahamut disappears)

Lasswell
 * ...Rain. We did it.

Rain
 * Thanks, Lasswell. Fina. And everyone else.

Fina
 * Yeah!

(Sol, Akstar and Charlotte disappear)

Rain, Lasswell and Fina

Fina
 * Ah, what happened to everyone?

Lasswell
 * They probably went home, since they fulfilled their duties as visions.


 * Looks like we, too, have to say goodbye.

Rain
 * It was short, but I'm glad I was able to go on another journey with you guys.

Fina
 * We'll meet again. No matter how far apart we may be.

Lasswell
 * That's right. I'm looking forward to seeing you two again.

Fina
 * See you again, Rain! You too, Lasswell!

Rain, Lasswell and Fina

(Lasswell and Fina disappear)

Rain


 * (He was an enemy that really got me thinking...)


 * (And he'll come back when the human world is enveloped in despair...)


 * (I have to do what I can, too.)


 * (There's no way that I can let the world be enveloped in despair. Never again.)

(Rain disappears)
