Dialogue
*Continuing where Across the Fearscape left off, Kassandra glares at horror as the Fear Engine has generated a fear manifestation of Aker'varus.*
Kassandra: The Aker'varus...
*Scene shifts to the fear manifestation of the Aker'varus, the legendary beast of the South that has a resemblance to a dragon.*
Sirius: So this is it. The creature that took your parents from us.
*Sirius summons a summoned sword to prepare to fight against the Aker'varus.*
<Character>: Kassandra, are you okay?
Kassandra: I... I can't—
*Scene shifts to a young Kassandra witnessing the death of her parents by the Aker'varus in the Exalted ruins; the Aker'varus roars; Kassandra sobs as the scene transitions back to present day.*
Kassandra: I— Mom?! Dad?! Sirius?!
Sirius: I'm here this time...
Sirius: We'll take it from here. Right, <Character>?
Sirius joins you as Guest A.
<Character>: Right!
Battle! - begins battle with Aker'varus (1).
Heal - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions.
Run Away! - returns to Falconreach (Book 3).
*You and Sirius fight against the Aker'varus, however, it proves to be an insurmountable obstacle for both of them.*
<Character>: We aren't doing anything to it!
<Character>: How did you say this thing was beaten before?
Sirius: It wasn't! The Arcana were able to rescue Kass and fled!
<Character>: That would have been good to know before we started this!
<Character>: Kassandra! A little help here!
*Kassandra is still sobbing upon reaching her with your words; the Aker'varus strikes an attack, but is blocked by Sirius' swords.*
Sirius: Kass, I need you to snap out of it!
Sirius: Just think of the Aker'varus as another species you've studied!
Sirius: You have to have learned something right? I need you!
*Reached by Sirius' words, Kassandra stops sobbing.*
Kassandra: You— You're right.
*Kassandra stands up to fight against the Aker'varus.*
Kassandra: Sorry. I'm here... Let me think.
Kassandra (thinking): The one thing that makes the Aker'varus so indestructible is its metallic hide.
Kassandra: If we had a way of softening it, we could maybe—
Removes Sirius from Guest A.
Sirius: I got it! I know what I have to do!
Sirius: You two, get behind me!
*Sirius casts pink flames from his hands; this causes Kassandra to react strongly against it due to Sirius' link with the Sword of Inanitas.*
Kassandra: Sirius, what are you doing? The Sword! It will—
Sirius: Don't worry. Like I said.
*Scene shifts to the young Sirius protecting Kassandra from Sibling Bonds as the scene splits with the past and present Sirius saying…*
Sirius (Past and Present): I'll always be here to protect you!
*Scene shifts back to the present day, where Sirius incinerates the Aker'varus' metallic hide with pink flames, causing it to roar strongly against it; as Sirius incinerates the Aker'varus, his sleeves incinerate, showing his magical wounds from the Sword of Inanitas.*
Sirius: Stay back!
*Sirius continues to incinerate the Aker'varus' metallic hide with pink flames.*
Sirius: Ahhhhh!
Kassandra joins you as Guest A.
Kassandra: Sirius, that's enough! <Character> and I will take it from here!
*Sirius stops incinerating the Aker'varus.*
Sirius: Y-yeah, sounds good.
Battle! - begins battle with Aker'varus (2).
Heal - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions.
Run Away! - returns to Falconreach (Book 3).
Removes Kassandra from Guest A.
*You and Kassandra fight against the weakened Aker'varus, however, it still proves to be an obstacle for both of them.*
<Character>: I don't think we can finish it off.
Kassandra: The Aker'varus's natural regeneration is being enhanced by the Fear Engine.
Kassandra: We can get it weak, but it's going to be good as new soon enough...
Kassandra: You two, get out of here while you can. This is my mistake, I'll deal with it.
Sirius: No... *pant*.
Sirius: Let me give this one last try...
*Sirius calls out to the Sword of Inanitas.*
Sirius: I know you're in there. Please, give me the power to get them out of here.
*The Sword of Inanitas turns blue as Sirius becomes empowered with Inanitas' power.*
Inanitas: You humans are truly interesting. Alright, but it's going to hurt.
*Using his two fingers, Inanitas prepares to incinerate the Aker'varus with blue flames.*
Inanitas: Vanish.
*The Aker'varus moves as Inanitas incinerates it with blue flames, defeating it completely; you and Kassandra become shocked as Inanitas incinerates it.*
Inanitas: Now don't die on me. We have much to do.
*Sirius turns back to normal as Inanitas leaves him.*
Sirius: Did... did it work?
*Sirius collapses from exhaustion.*
Kassandra: Sirius!
<Character>: What was that?!
Fear Engine: System Overload. System Overload.
Fear Engine: Beginning Shutdo—
*Suddenly, the Fear Engine begins its meltdown sequence.*
Fear Engine: Beginning Self Destruct Sequence.
Kassandra: What?!
*A portal that leads back to Kassandra's ship opens near Kassanda, you, and the collapsed Sirius.*
Kassandra: <Character>, take Sirius and run as far from here as you can!
<Character>: But what about you?!
Kassandra: If the Fear Engine self-destructs, the machinations that create the Fear creatures will be released and fuse with the surrounding area...
Kassandra: ... turning everything into a permanent Fearscape. This time with no exit.
Kassandra: I am going to try and minimize the damage as best as I can.
<Character>: Then I'm staying to help!
Kassandra: And do what?! Do you know the workings of Fear magic?
Kassandra: I need to do this! So many people got hurt because of me and my obsessions. I won't let this thing hurt anymore people.
Kassandra: I need you to help me by making sure Sirius doesn't get hurt as well.
Kassandra: Take this and go!
*Kassandra gives you a book; left with no choice, you decide to take Kassandra's book and Sirius.*
<Character>: Alright...
<Character>: Just make it out safe... You know, for Sirius's sake...
Kassandra: That's the plan. Now go!
*You leave the Fearscape with Kassandra's book and Sirius; scene shifts back to Kassandra, who looks down solemnly.*
Kassandra: I'm sorry, Sirius...
*Scene fades to black as the portal closes.*
