Story
Ancient Tower - Underground
Navigating through a labyrinth of chutes and ladders, Bowie and the Bowie Bunch find themselves on the edge of a massive magma-filled chasm.
|
|
April Script
[Hero], nice to see
you again.
|
|
Final Script
[Hero], you're finally
here.
|
|
|
Odd Eye is on the other side of the chasm.

April Script
Oddler...are you Odd Eye?
Zalbard said....
|
|
Final Script
Oddler, are you Odd Eye?
Zalbard said...
|
|
|
|
|
April Script
You're the leader of the
devil army who attacked
Bedoe....
|
|
Final Script
You're the leader of the Devil
Army who attacked Bedoe...

Odd Eye only knows about Astral because Bowie told him about the septuagenarian repeatedly.
|
|
April Script
|
Final Script
|
|
Odd Eye says not to talk to him like that, 'cause he's all sad.
|
|
April Script
Sad? No kidding!
You could've fooled us!
|
|
Final Script
Sad?
You've got to be joking!
|
|
|
|
|
April Script
No, I was kidding.
I really am quite evil.
|
|
Final Script
Well, yes I am.
I'm really quite evil.
|
|
|
|
|
April Script
Leave the jewel, your
weapons, and your items
here. Now, go away!
|
|
Final Script
Leave the jewel, your
weapons, and your items
here...or DIE!
|
|
|
Translation Notes
Odd Eye shows more mercy in the April draft.
Peter realizes they don't have to fight Odd Eye.
|
|
April Script
Precisely...but we can't
accept his offer. We can't
give him the jewel.
|
|
Final Script
True, but we can't take the
easy way out. We mustn't
give him the jewel.
|
|
|
|
|
April Script
You know how strong I am,
right? I think you had
better accept the offer.
|
|
Final Script
You know how strong I am.
I think you had better
accept the offer.

April Script
Times up! We need the
space to enjoy our battle.
|
|
Final Script
Times up! We need space
to battle.
|
|
|
Translation Notes
They never fixed the "Times up" typo...
Glass rise up from the lava, bridging the chasm.
|
|
April Script
I'm very sorry, but...
[Hero]! I'll kill you!
|
|
Final Script
I'm very sorry, [Hero],
but I must kill you!
|
|
|
Peter wonders if they're really going to kill Oddler.
|
|
April Script
|
Final Script
|
|
And it they did.
|
|
April Script
You won, [Hero]...
You've become so strong.
I knew you would...I did....
|
|
Final Script
[Hero], you won?
You've become so strong.
I knew you would....
|
|
|
|
|
April Script
|
Final Script
|
|
|
|
April Script
Your friends are very
good. I knew it since I
was with you.
Yes...it was interesting...
I miss that journey....
|
|
Final Script
You friends are very good.
I knew that when I was
traveling with you.
Yes, it was interesting...
I miss that time....
|
|
|
|
|
April Script
Odd Eye, no, Oddler!
Did you....
|
|
Final Script
Odd Eye...no, Oddler!
Did you...?
|
|
|
|
|
April Script
No, [Peter]. I did my
best. You were just
stronger than me.
|
|
Final Script
No, [Peter]. I did my
best. You were just better
than me.
|
|
|
|
|
April Script
|
Final Script
|
|
|
|
April Script
I wouldn't have had to
fight if I wouldn't have
gotten my memory back.
Funny...ha, ha...
Fighting is everything to
me.
|
|
June Script
I wouldn't have had to
fight if I never had gotten
my memory back.
It's funny, fighting is
everything to me.
|
|
Final Script
I wouldn't have had to
fight if I never had gotten
my memory back.
It's funny, fighting was
everything to me.
|
|
|
|
April Script
| Oddler...please don't die!
|
|
Final Script
| Oddler, please don't die!
|
|
|
|
|
April Script
Oh...the pain...
let me say good-bye...
|
|
Final Script
Oh, the pain!
Let me say good-bye.
|
|
|
Bowie and Peter walk closer to Odd Eye.
|
|
April Script
If possible...I want to
relive my life...not as
a devil...next time....
|
|
Final Script
If possible, I want to
relive my life...not as
a devil...next time....
|
|
|
Odd Eye's remaining energy sparks out of his body before his body flickers out of existence.
|
|
April Script
(Sob, sob)...how sad...
[Hero], Sir Astral....
|
|
Final Script
(Sob, sob)...how sad.
[Hero], Sir Astral...
|
|
|
|
|
April Script
Odd Eye had a pure
spirit...I'll miss him.
|
|
Final Script
Oddler had a pure spirit...
I'll miss him.
|
|
|
Translation Notes
Calling him "Odd Eye" makes sense, since he met the guy on Zeon's side.
Of course, by this point in the conversation he'd have learned his other name anyway.
|
|
April Script
Don't cry for him now.
All of this is Zeon's doing.
|
|
Final Script
Don't cry for him now.
This is Zeon's doing.
|
|
|
Astral tells them to keep Oddler's memory in their hearts, and they head off to the Ancient Tower's base.
Ancient Tower - Stairwell
And at the top of the stairwell...
|
|
April Script
Unbelievable... you finally
arrived.
|
|
Final Script
Unbelievable! You've
finally arrived.
|
|
|
|
|
April Script
|
Final Script
|
|
|
|
April Script
That's OK, [Peter].
I doubted if you'd ever
make it here.
The enemies you've faced
so far were strong.
|
|
Final Script
That's OK, [Peter].
I doubted you'd ever make
it here.
The enemies you've faced so
far were strong.
|
|
|
|
|
April Script
|
Final Script
|
|
Creed offers to help the only way he can: Sacrilegiously.
|
|
April Script
There is no church around
here. Why don't you
pretend I'm a priest.
|
|
Final Script
There is no church around
here. Think of me as a
priest.
|
|
|
OK, you do that.
Ancient Tower - Exterior Steps
At the bottom of the steps, Bowie, Peter, etc. hear a voice from up high.
|
April Script
Who are you!? Oh, are
you from Granseal?
|
|
Final Script
Who are you?!
Oh, are you from Granseal?
|
|
|
A Reaper (but not the Reaper, thankfully) stands atop the steps, wondering what happened to Odd Eye.
|
|
April Script
...Impossible...
Was he defeated?
Inconceivable! But...
...OK, I'll stop you here.
|
|
Final Script
Impossible!
He was defeated?
Inconceivable! But...
OK, I'll stop you here.
|
|
|
No you won't.
Ancient Tower - Ground Seal
The Ground Seal room is now flooded with water and what looks like human souls. Oh, and it's dark inside. That's pretty spooky, right?
|
|
April Script
|
Final Script
|
|
|
|
April Script
Is it too dark for you?
Let there be light.
|
|
Final Script
Is it too dark?
Let there be light!
|
|
|
The room brightens. Princess Elis is behind King Galam, unconscious.
|
|
April Script
She isn't moving!
Is she alive?
|
|
Final Script
She isn't moving!
Is she dead?
|
|
|
|
|
April Script
We can't kill her yet.
She will be the first
sacrifice for King Zeon.
|
|
Final Script
We haven't killed her yet.
She will be the first
sacrifice for King Zeon.
|
|
|
|
|
April Script
You said, you'd return her
in exchange to the jewel!
|
|
June Script
You said, you'd return her
in exchange for the jewel!
|
|
Final Script
Zeon said, you'd return her
in exchange for the jewel!
|
|
Translation Notes
"You" is probably supposed to refer to Zeon's forces in general.
This and the following line were changed anyway for clarity.
|
|
April Script
Ha, ha, ha! Now, would
I lie to you? Ha, ha!
You killed our greater
devils...all of them.
I have to return the favor.
You shall never see Zeon!
I'll kill you all before
that!
|
|
June Script
Ha, ha, ha! I lied.
You killed our greater
devils.
I can't allow this to go on.
You shall never see Zeon!
I'll kill you before that!
|
|
Final Script
Ha, ha, ha! He lied.
You killed our greater
devils.
I can't allow this to go on.
You shall never see Zeon!
I'll kill you before that!
|
|
Though they put up a good fight, Galam and his forces are slain by Bowie and his force(s).
|
|
April Script
|
Final Script
|
|
|
|
April Script
I never...lose to anybody
except for gods....
Heh! Heh!
|
|
Final Script
I've never lost to anybody
but the gods.
I don't understand!
|
|
|
Translation Notes
A slighter sadder ending for Galam in the final scripts. Emphasis on slightly.
Galam finally dies.
|
|
April Script
Oh, my King Galam...
Poor King Galam....
|
|
Final Script
Oh, King Galam...poor
King Galam....
|
|
|
Princess Elis moves a bit in her sleep.

Princess Elis awakens.
|

Sir Astral? Oh, what

Elis looks at Peter and Lemon and wonders who they are.
|

She walks up to Bowie, recognizing him from the battle one year prior.

Peter tries in vain to butt in on this scintillating exchange.
|
|
April Script
[Peter], don't bother
them! This is private!
|
|
Final Script
[Peter], don't bother them!
This is a private moment!
|
|
|
After a beat, the ground starts shaking violently, as it is wont to do.
|
|
April Script
An earthquake from deep
below us...
|
|
Final Script
An earthquake!
Deep below us....
|
|
|
|
|
April Script
Something is coming up...
through the earth...

|
|
|
|

April Script
I almost forgot...there...
there is another devil...

I almost forgot...about...
the other devil....

Translation Notes
Thanks for clearing that up, script editors.
At the back of the room, a demonic portal starts opening up.
|
|
April Script
|
Final Script
| This doesn't look promising.
|
|
|
The portal fully opens, revealing a giant set of arms and a devilish head.
|
|
April Script
|
Final Script
|
|
Translation Notes
Bowie couldn't be less concerned in the April text.
There's some modicum of worry in the June and final scripts.
Zeon revives! He fully absorbs King Galam's body as energy.
|
|
April Script
You have resisted me...
I...I never...
|
|
Final Script
You resisted me....
I...I never...!
|
|
|
Astral suggests to retreat and return later. Unfortunately, that's not possible, seeing as Elis fainted again after seeing Zeon.
|
|
April Script
|
Final Script
|
|
|
|
April Script
And now we're surrounded
by the devils.
|
|
Final Script
And now we're surrounded

[Hero], believe in your
sword and the jewel!
We must kill him now!
|
|
Final Script
[Hero], believe in your
sword and the jewel!
We must fight Zeon now!
|
|
|
The force charges at Zeon, Bowie with his Force Sword in hand...
...and scene.
