Burmecia:
Zidane: Who is that?

The view changes from behind Zidane and Freya to where Brahne and Beatrix are standing. Kuja walks onto the screen.

Kuja: I find this rain quite pleasant...It feels as though the raindrops are blessing our victory...

Queen Brahne: This is a great victory for us. Kuja, your black mages made this conquest so simple. My only concern now is finding the King of Burmecia. We must take care of him once and for all, and prevent these rats from ever rising up again. Beatrix, what's taking so long!?

Beatrix: I don't know, Your Majesty. I've ordered Zorn and Thorn to seach the perimeter, but there's been no word so far. I will join them and lead the search right away.

Kuja: You're wasting your time.

Beatrix: What?

Kuja: Rats often look for new homes when they sense an earthquake. They probably moved to the sandy tree house by now... So, you see, it's too late. The King has already turned tail and fled.

Queen Brahne: Sandy tree house... Surely, you don't mean Cleyra!? It'll be quite difficult if they escaped to Cleyra.

Beatrix: Cleyra... Unless we can get through that sandstorm, it will be impossible to attack them.

Queen Brahne: Sneaky, little rats! Kuja, what do you think? Surely, with your powers, there must something you can do.

Kuja: Of course, Your Majesty. I will present you with a marvelous display of my power. I am certain that you will be most pleased. I was wondering if you would gather your troops near Cleyra. I'm certain those filthy rats will retaliate in full force, and my black mages may not be enough.

The view changes back to behind Zidane and Freya.

Zidane: Sounds like we got trouble.

Freya: That sinister man... Who is he?

Zidane: Beats me... I've never seen him before. Well, it sounds like they're going to Cleyra. I've always wondered why people call it the 'City of Illusion.'

Freya: I don't know either. Cleyra has remained in isolation for a hundred years. If my people escaped to there, they'll be safe, at least for a while.

Zidane: What's this place like?

Freya: The people of Cleyra are originally from Burmecia. Long ago, they severed ties with Burmecia over a trivial conflict. Now the Kingdom is at peace, shielded by a large sandstorm.

Zidane: Look, there's someone else coming!

A Burmecian Soldier runs into the palace where Queen Brahne, Beatrix and Kuja are.

Freya: What is he thinking!?

Zidane: Geez, he's gonna get killed!

Zidane and Freya rush down to save the Burmecian Soldier. The screen switches back to Queen Brahne, Beatrix and Kuja.

Soldier: Burmecia will never fall! Prepare to die!!!

Beatrix: You wish to fight me, Beatrix of Alexandria?

Soldier: B-Beatrix!?

Beatrix: I commend your courage, but I will show you no mercy.

Zidane: Hold it!

Freya: You'll have to deal with us, first!

The Burmecian Soldier runs to Freya and Zidane.

Freya: We'll take care of this. Go find the King. Protect him with your life.

Soldier: ...Thank you, Freya.

Beatrix: Ha ha ha. I've never been so humiliated in my life. I once killed a hundred knights single-handedly... To me, you two are nothing more than insects.

Vivi and Quina join Freya and Zidane. A battle takes place between your party and Beatrix.

Beatrix: You're no match for me!

Beatrix uses Stock Break on your party, reducing them each to 1 HP.

Beatrix: Ignorant fools!

With this, the battle is ended. Your party is lying defeated on the ground.

Beatrix: How ridiculously weak... Isn't there anyone who is worthy of facing me?

Queen Brahne: Come, Beatrix. We must prepare to attack Cleyra.

Beatrix: Yes, Your Majesty.

Queen Brahne and Beatrix leave. Kuja walks up to your party, which is still lying down after Beatrix's attack.

Kuja: Now, what do we have here...? Another filthy rat, and... Hmm... This boy could become a problem...
