Tacoba: I DON’T CARE. OPEN IT LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET THROUGH,
PEASANT.
Guard: …FINE.
Korigon: FACE IT, YOUR LIGHT THIEF IS NOT COMING TO SAVE YOU. LET’S GO.
Tiffani: (SIGH) LEAD THE WAY.
Tari: SIMON, WHAT HAPPENED?
Simon: TIFFANI!
Tari: LOOK, TENCI AND THE OTHERS WERE CAPTURED.
Simon: I HAVE TO HELP THEM. THIS IS MY FAULT.
Tari: BUT YOU NEED TIFFANI TO GET INTO THE VAULT.
Simon: MAYBE I CAN DO BOTH.
Simon: LIGHTNING SHOULD SCARE THEM.
Simon: STOP!!!
Tari: DID YOU EVEN DO ANYTHING?
Simon…
Tari: SIMON, YOUR MOUTH IS MOVING, BUT I CAN’T HEAR YOU.
Simon…
I FELT MAGIC GO OUT.
Tenci: THAT’S SIMON’S VOICE! MAKE A BREAK FOR IT!
Simon: I CAN’T, EITHER.
Rafael: THEY’RE GETTING AWAY!
Mari: TO WHERE? THIS PLACE IS SHUT TIGHT. WE HAVE THE KEY. THE GUARDS WILL ROUND THEM UP. HELP ME FIND THE LIGHT THIEF!
Rafael: STOP YELLING!
Tacoba: HURRY IT UP, THE CARRIAGE IS HERE.
Simon: MY MAGIC DOESN’T ALWAYS WORK THE WAY I WANT.
Tari: IT’S TOO LATE TO SEPARATE TIFFANI FROM THE OTHERS. WE NEED TO ESCAPE.
Simon: I SUPPOSE YOU’RE RIGHT, TARI.
Simon: NOW’S MY CHANCE.
TI-
WHA...?
YOU AGAIN?
Simon: WHAT IS GOING ON?
Sage: WHO ARE YOU?
Simon: I…DON’T KNOW. I CAN’T REMEMBER.
Sage: WRONG AGAIN. YOU ARE NOT YOUR PAST.
THIS TIME I HAVE A MESSAGE TO DELIVER:
ONLY ONCE YOU ARE LOST A SACRIFICE WILL PAY THE COST YOUR MEMORY YOU SHALL SEE IF SELFLESSNESS IS YOUR KEY
SPLAT!!!
Horus: “NONE OF THESE PRIMITIVES MATTER ANYWAY, ESPECIALLY NOT A THIEF.”
Tenci:...AND HERE’S THE FAKE KEY.
Guard: PLEASE, PLEASE, WE MUST GO INSIDE.
Mero: YOU CAN’T CATCH ME!
Tiffani: IS THAT MERO?
Korigon: THE LIGHT THIEF?
Tiffani: (SIMON?)
Guest: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LIGHTS?
Guard: SIR, WE CAN’T LET YOU THROUGH.
Horus: SO, YOU CAME FOR ME.
Shiara: I AM HERE TO HELP SIMON.
Horus: AND HERE I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO RESCUE ME.
Shiara: HE IS TRYING TO BREAK INTO THE VAULT. TONIGHT. SHOULD I HELP HIM NOW?
Horus: NO. I HAVE PLANS FOR TOMORROW. HAVE TO MAKE A STATEMENT, YOU KNOW.
Shiara: ARE YOU SURE?
Horus: RELAX. AS LONG AS HE DOESN’T GET HIMSELF KILLED, I’M GOOD.
Shiara: PLEASE, DON’T DISCARD HIM AFTER. THINK OF YOUR HONOR AS A PRINCE.
Horus: HA! PRINCE? OF WHAT, A FALLEN NATION? YOU KNOW FULL WELL I ONLY LIVE FOR REVENGE.
BUT WHY ARE YOU INVOLVING YOURSELF IN THE LIFE OF A HUMAN? DIDN’T I RESCUE YOU FROM THAT MISTAKE?
Guard: ?
WHAT’S GOING ON? DON’T TELL ME THE LIGHT THIEF IS HERE?
Mero: HELLO!
Guard: AHH!!!
HEY, WAIT, YOU’RE NOT THE LIGHT THIEF! GET BACK HERE, I’M TALKING TO YOU!
Isabel: DO YOU CARE TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF, SIMON?
Yeshal: SIMON SAYS HE’S SORRY HE USE YOU.
Isabel: CAN’T HE SPEAK FOR HIMSELF?
Tenci: NO, BECAUSE HE’S NOT HERE RIGHT NOW.
BUT HE SAYS THANKS FOR HELPING HIM SO MUCH AFTER HE LOST HIS MEMORY.
Isabel: HE LOST HIS MEMORY? WHAT ARE YOU-?
Yeshal: I TAKE THAT, THANK YOU.
Mari: HAND THAT BACK.
WHY DID YOU THINK THAT WOULD WORK, UNLESS...
Tenci: LET’S GO!
Isabel: YOU HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO, SIMON.
EVER SINCE YOU LEFT ME AT THE CURSED BALL TO DANCE WITH TIFFANI, EVERYTHING CHANGED.
YOU RUN AWAY FROM ME, WORK WITH TIFFANI, AND I STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN THE VAULT.
I WAS TRYING TO BE A GOOD GIRLFRIEND, EVEN THOUGH YOU JUST USED ME TO FREE YOUR FRIENDS AND GET YOU INTO THE TOURNAMENT.
WHAT DID SHE HAVE THAT I DIDN’T? YES, SHE WAS A PRINCESS, BUT NOT ANYMORE. I AM PRETTIER, I’M FUN, I TREAT YOU WELL. SO WHY DO YOU HURT ME?
Mari: BECAUSE HE’S A THIEF. HE ONLY CARES ABOUT HIMSELF. I’VE SEEN HIS KIND TOO MANY TIMES.
Isabel: A GIRL CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH, SIMON.
SNAP!
Mari: DID YOU NOT REALIZE STORM COULD HEAR EVERYTHING YOU SPOKE TO HORUS?
INCLUDING TIFFANI’S CONFESSION. IT WILL BE USED AGAINST HER TOMORROW, JUST AS YOUR PLAN TO OPEN THE VAULT WAS USED AGAINST YOU TONIGHT.
Guard: THERE’S THE SIGNAL. COME ON, SURROUND THE CASTLE, BLOCK THE EXITS. DON’T LET ANY THIEF ESCAPE.
Guard: THERE HAS BEEN A DISTURBANCE. WE WILL NEED TO ESCORT YOU BACK INSIDE.
