C’mon Jan, stay with me! I’ve seen you walk away from much worse.

Janora tries to speak but coughs up blood first.

JANORA Lucky shot.

VIRGIL

You’ll get him next time. Right now we need to find a healer.

Virgil tries to stand up but Janora grabs him by his shirt collar and pulls him back down. Clearly struggling, she picks up the knife that Virgil left on the ground and places it in his open palm.

JANORA Finish it.

Janora goes limp. Virgil stands up and looks over the battlefield. Kick ass rock music starts playing. Virgil runs out in a POV style montage where he cuts down both barbarians and alchemists alike.

EXT. - BATTLEFIELD - FINAL BATTLE

Eve and Naxid once again meet eachother on the battlefield. Naxid is sporting a fresh bandage over his eye.

NAXID

Are you ready to fight fair this time?

EVE

I’m ready to take you out of the equation.

Eve raises her arm up into the air. A force field materializes to isolate Naxid and her from the rest of the battle. They fight hard and both manage to land devistating blows. However, Naxid eventually grabs a hold of Eve’s arm and breaks it, along with the device she wears. The force field fades away.

Naxid stands over Eve as she collapses to her knees. He then solemnly raises his fist to finish her off. Suddenly, Virgil appears behind Naxid and slits his throat. The king falls and Virgil turns off his shadow aura.

EVE

Thank you. For your service to the Empire I-

VIRGIL

Do you remember a young couple who refused to let their village become a part of your precious empire?

EVE Excuse me?

Virgil rolls Naxid’s body over and pops the second relic out of his belt. He looks at it instead of directly at Eve.

VIRGIL

No? Then how about the little boy that you left homeless,

(Pause) and drenched in his parents blood.

EVE

I realize that some of our early territory disputes caused collateral damage. But they were a calculated-

VIRGIL

I don’t give a damn!

As Virgil says this he clutches the second relic tighter and begins glowing red. He glares at Eve. When Virgil yells again the ground shakes and cracks around him.
