*(A pink flame... it glows hesitatingly.)*

*(The chamber is a total vacuum of light. Every footfall sends a translucent ripple of blue light that momentarily reveals the jagged geometry of floating glass platforms. One misstep into the unmapped void results in a plummet into nothingness.)*
null
null
null
null
*(At the furthest reach of this maze sits a solitary chest. Inside lies the Waferguard.)*
null
null
null
null
*(The final stretch is a frantic gauntlet atop a massive pipe organ hurtling through the collapsing sanctuary. Shadow orbs chase from behind. Kris steers the organ through widening chasms as the floor disintegrates into static. The thunderous, distorted chords provide a manic soundtrack to the escape.)*

*(Kris, Susie, and Ralsei walk up a massive, seemingly endless flight of stairs. The architecture of the church is visible in the background, distorted by the Dark World's influence.)*
null
null
null
null
**Ralsei:** * The fountain...
null
null
**Ralsei:** * I can feel its presence just past this wall...
null
null
null
null
*(Suddenly, several black tracking swords fly in from the left, smashing the ornate wall at the top of the stairs into rubble.)*
null
null
null
null
**Susie:** * H... hey! W-wait
null
null
**Susie:** * The hell are we going to climb up there now...?
null
null
null
null
**...:** * FRAINDS NEED HELP...?
null
null
null
null
*(Jackenstein appears at the bottom of the screen, looking up at the party.)*
null
null
null
null
**Ralsei:** * Mr. Jack, what are you doing here? It's dangerous!
null
null
**Susie:** * Yeah, get back to the study!
null
null
null
null
**Jackenstein:** * JACK FEAR NO DANGER!!
null
null
**Jackenstein:** * FRAINDS HELP JACK CLAIMB OUT OF PIT OF BAD FEELINGS AND LONELY NESTS
null
null
**Jackenstein:** * JACK WILL HELP FRAINDS CLAIMB ANYTHING NOW!!
null
null
null
null
**Susie:** * ... Not like we have another choice anyway.
null
null
**Jackenstein:** * OKI TOKI ON MY SHOULDERS PLEASE :-)
null
null
null
null
*(Jackenstein leaps up to the ledge. Kris, Susie, and Ralsei hop onto his massive shoulders.)*
null
null
null
null
###**obj_jackenstein_climb_sequence**
null
null
null
null
*(Jackenstein begins scaling the vertical iron supports behind the broken wall. He moves with surprising agility for his size.)*
null
null
null
null
**Jackenstein:** * WALL BECOMES THIN HERE... LET'S BE CAREFUL.
null
null
null
null
*(As they climb, more tracking swords fly toward them. Jackenstein tilts his body to dodge, keeping the party balanced.)*
null
null
null
null
**Jackenstein:** * NO WORRY... JACK JUST HANG ON AND...
null
null
null
null
*(A massive barrage of swords strikes the wall directly around Jackenstein, causing the structure to buckle. He loses his grip but uses his remaining momentum to hurl the party upward toward a distant ledge.)*
null
null
null
null
**Susie:** * You guys... The hell are you doing here!?
null
null
null
null
*(A group of Recruits, Guei, Mizzle, Balthizard, and Bibliox, appear on the ledge above. They link arms and tails, forming a living chain to catch the party.)*
null
null
null
null
**Recruits:** * We apologize for our belated realization...
null
null
**Recruits:** * But you three are the heroes, are you not!?
null
null
**Recruits:** * The story of your kindness...
null
null
**Recruits:** * Has become legendary!!
null
null
null
null
*(The Recruits swing the party upward with a coordinated effort, launching them onto the final platform.)*
null
null
null
null
**Recruits:** * And so, posthaste, we come to aid you in your battle...
null
null
**Recruits:** * Go forth... and defeat the Knight!
null
null
null
null
**Ralsei:** * Everyone... thank you so much!
null
null
**Susie:** * Heh, guess being nice kinda pays off...!
null
null
**Susie:** * Now let's go kick that Knight's ass!
null
null
null
null
###**obj_3rd_sanctuary_final_corridor**
null
null
null
null
*(The party enters a long, dark hallway lined with bookshelves. The light is dim, and the atmosphere is heavy.)*
null
null
null
null
**Ralsei:** * It's getting dark...
null
null
**Ralsei:** * Let's stick together.
null
null
null
null
*(Susie and Ralsei huddle close to Kris, their sprites walking in a tight formation. Suddenly, a massive black blade strikes the ground in front of them, followed by a barrage of tracking swords.)*
null
null
null
null
**Susie:** * ...!?
null
null
**Susie:** * D... Damn it!
null
null
**Susie:** * It's so dark... we can't see anything...
null
null
**Susie:** * If this keeps up, we'll be...
null
null
null
null
*(Kris's SOUL suddenly bursts with an intense, pure white light, creating a protective aura around the trio.)*
null
null
null
null
**Ralsei:** * K... Kris?
null
null
**Susie:** * Kris...? What is that... light?
null
null
null
null
*(The Knight's swords continue to rain down. Kris stands firm, the light from the SOUL parrying the projectiles. Susie steps in front of Kris, using her body to shield them from a stray sword.)*
null
null
null
null
**Ralsei:** * S... Susie...! What are you doing?
null
null
**Susie:** * ... Like I'm going to let Kris hog all the bullets.
null
null
null
null
*(Ralsei swapping position with Susie, taking damage at himself.)*
null
null
null
null
**Ralsei:** * Susie... Kris... as long as there's any pain I can take in your place...
null
null
**Ralsei:** * I'll be there, okay?
null
null
null
null
*(The barrage finally ceases. The party reaches the end of the corridor, standing before the entrance to the Fountain's chamber.)*
