Scarlett spots Biggs walking toward the city, which is still rather in chaos

Scarlett says, "Biggs, where have you been?"

Biggs walks down the street. Looks at Scarlet

Biggs says, "I've been ok."

Scarlett looks rather upset about something

Biggs says, "Scarlett, what's wrong?"

Scarlett says, "you don't know what's been going on?"

Biggs says, "Whatever do you mean?"

Scarlett says, "There was... well ... a battle ... over at the hall of the gods. Much damage was done"

Biggs says, "A battle? Oh, no. What are the Gods fighting about this time? That's awful..."

Scarlett says, "it was not the gods"

Biggs says, "Oh?"

Scarlett bites her lip

Scarlett says, "um.... "

Biggs looks worried.

Biggs says, "Spit it out..."

Scarlett says, "in fact, all the gods had to ally together..."

Biggs says, "They don't usually do that… Almost NEVER."

Scarlett says, "once the two banished ones started to slaughter mortals on the planet with all of hell's army behind them"

Biggs opens eyes wide in amazement.

Scarlett hangs her head

Biggs puts his hand on Scarett's shoulder, trying to comfort her.

Scarlett looks up at him

Biggs says, "Who are those two?"

Scarlett says, "Tseng and...."

Scarlett grits her teeth

Biggs listens

Scarlett says, "no one is aloud to say his.... Name any more ... the one in charge of it ... whom all the gods got together to ... destroy..."

Biggs says, "...Well... Is there any way you can tell me?"

Scarlett closes her eyes

Biggs says, "... I think I may already know..."

Scarlett says, "...your best friend...."

Scarlett sighs heavily

Biggs says, "No… It... it can't be!!"

Scarlett says, "The gods destroyed him for what he did .... but, some say he's not destroyed .. that he'll be back"

Biggs says, "....."

Scarlett says, "it's .. horrifying"

Biggs says, "I never thought that he'd go through with his threats..."

Biggs shakes his head in dismay

Scarlett opens her eyes and looks at him

Scarlett says, "It happened though"

Biggs looks down at her, cocking his head

Scarlett says, "he .. well ... turned evil"

Biggs says, "This is a nightmare..."

Scarlett says, "well, it's one that is over. the gate of hell is closed"

Biggs says, "Over? Or just beginning?"

Scarlett says, "and he's .. either destroyed forever or .. gone for now"

Biggs says, "...I don't know what to say..."

Scarlett says, "he was your best friend"

Biggs says, "I never thought he would be the one to turn evil... Never him..."

Scarlett says, "none of us did"

Biggs sighs heavily

Scarlett sniffs

Scarlett says, "you must be upset Biggs ..."

Biggs puts his arms around her and tries to comfort her

Scarlett hugs him back

Biggs says, "I don't know anyone who wouldn't be upset..."

Scarlett says, "the gods are outraged. the gods of hell gave him a new form when he was cast down"

Biggs says, "That's what I'm worried about the most. What form is that?"

Scarlett says, "and was being called the one winged angel"

Biggs says, "Oh."

Scarlett sighs again

Biggs breathes deeply, trying to compose himself

Scarlett says, "will you be ok?"

Biggs says, "I'll maintain. I always have..."

Scarlett says, "alright. if he does return though ....."

Biggs says, "Hmm?"

Scarlett says, "he'll be trying to kill every mortal on the planet"

Biggs says, "That isn't good..."

Scarlett says, "no, it isn't"

Biggs hangs his head in shame

Scarlett says, "Biggs?"

Biggs says, "Yes?"

Scarlett says, "why do you look shamed?"

Biggs says, "Because..."

Scarlett listens, folding her arms

Biggs says, "He was my friend and I didn't try hard enough to stop him..."

Scarlett says, "maybe you couldn't stop him"

Scarlett says, "Biggs, what would you have said to him if you had stayed?"

Scarlett says, ""

Biggs says, "I would have probably told him he was crazy like I did when he started talking strangely..."

Scarlett says, "would that have helped?"

Biggs says, "Probably not. He wasn't listening to me to begin with..."

Scarlett says, "true. I guess we'll never know what caused him to do that"

Biggs says, "He was always so... Superior..."

Scarlett says, "yes. I heard he was laughing at the gods as he was being torn apart by them"

Biggs says, "I suppose that he was..."

Scarlett says, "yes"

Biggs says, "Being torn, I mean."

Scarlett says, "being torn?"

Biggs says, "He was talking like he wanted to be one of them. How strange..."

Scarlett says, "yes, he even got the power to take the souls of mortals. that's why he was on the planet killing them"

Biggs says, "That's an awful power. And it's not right..."

Scarlett says, "he got it placed in a blade… something called the Masamune"

Biggs says, "....."

Scarlett says, "which the hell gods wound up fusing into his arm"

Biggs shakes his head

Biggs says, "That's disgusting."

Scarlett says, "yes. They altered his form ...."

Scarlett sighs

Biggs says, "How... Sad."

Scarlett says, "yes"

Biggs says, "This is most definitely a sad day indeed..."

Scarlett says, "and to be torn apart"

Scarlett closes her eyes

Scarlett says, "yes, but the gods do not see it that way"

Biggs says, "....."

Scarlett says, "they see it as .. he's been destroyed .. it's a good day"

Biggs says, "They wouldn't."

Scarlett says, "I don't know, he might still be around, waiting to keep his final promise to return"

Biggs says, "I hope not..."

Scarlett says, "hope not?"

Biggs says, "I hope that he never returns..."

Scarlett says, "why? you of all people ...."

Biggs says, "He sounds dangerous now... Not himself..."

Scarlett says, "well, if you want him never to return, then .. you'll be hoping that the gods truly destroyed him"

Biggs says, "For his sake, it may be best if he is really destroyed..."

Scarlett nods

Scarlett says, "gone forever ..... out of existence save for the past .. which cannot change. that's a little sad to think about in some ways, but comforting against threats"

Biggs says, "Yes."

Biggs looks up and sees how late it's getting

Scarlett says, "and if he does return one day?"

Biggs says, "Are you gonna be ok?"

Scarlett says, "yes, are you?"

Biggs says, "I shudder to think what may happen. I suppose I'll be fine..."

Scarlett says, "alright. depart in peace and remember, we are never to speak his name again"

Biggs says, "Yes. I'll remember that."

Scarlett says, "the gods stripped it of him"

Scarlett walks off

Biggs kisses Scarlett's hand in a gentlemanly way before she walks off.

Scarlett smiles

Biggs says, "Bye, Scarlett"

Scarlett says, "bye Biggs"

Biggs walks off
