In an attempt to erase Freesia from the future, the crew incorrectly activates Akasha, inadvertently causing it to begin erasing everyone one by one. However, Vyrn is able to awaken his true power to recover everyone and take Akasha head-on.
Freesia
Argh! Ah... Ahh...
Freesia
Urgh...
Lecia
Gasp... I can do this...
Mithra
...
Freesia
Aaaahhhhhhh!
Freesia
...
Eugen
Look now... We're just going in circles no matter what we do.
Io
But... she seems to be suffering.
Lecia
If Freesia keeps getting revived by Mithra's power, then maybe Lyria could...
Lyria
I can't... I'm sorry. There's just nothing I can do.
Katalina
Lyria's power is no match for Mithra's force.
Katalina
To break the hold of that primal beast, the only thing left is to fulfill her promise.
Lecia
But...
Black Knight
No... There's another way.
Katalina
What?
Black Knight
I'll hold her back. In the meantime, you find Akasha and activate it.
Black Knight
It should be nearby...
Vyrn
What! What's the point in bringing it out here now?
Black Knight
Akasha should be able to rewrite outcomes... Rewrite history.
Katalina
B-but! Even if we manage to rewrite the prime minister's pledge...
Katalina
What would happen to the world now as we know it?
Black Knight
That's why you rewrite the future.
Eugen
The future? Can we even do such a thing?
Black Knight
Akasha controls all history: the past, present, and future.
Black Knight
If you can erase Freesia's existence from the future...
Black Knight
Her pledge will count for nothing, and we might be able to stop her.
Io
But if we do that, then our world...
Ah!
Io
I get it! Since it's the future, it won't matter how it changes, right?
Black Knight
Rare of you to catch on... To our benefit, not a single person here already knows of the future.
Black Knight
So no matter how we rewrite it, it shouldn't affect the present.
Lyria
But... if we do that...
Black Knight
Enough! Just go! We have no other choice!
Freesia
...
With the arguing group in her sights, Freesia slowly begins to move.
Katalina
Let's do this. With nothing else to go on, this is the best shot we have at stopping her.
The crew leaves the Black Knight to handle Freesia as they search for Akasha.
The Black Knight, all alone, comes face-to-face with Freesia in her twisted form.
Freesia
You... You mean to defeat me all by yourself?
Freesia
I have something I can never yield... I'll do whatever it takes!
Black Knight
And what of it? Unfortunately for you, I also have something I'll never yield.
Black Knight
As well as the power to oppose you.
The Black Knight removes a crystal from her pocket that sparkles ominously.
Freesia
Isn't that—
Black Knight
It's a little something I found, but it should pack a punch.
Black Knight
Now... Why don't we have some fun until the future is rewritten!
The Black Knight uses the dark essence on herself and challenges Freesia.
Orchis
!
Upon hearing the sounds of impact echoing from the other room, the crew stop in their tracks.
Orchis
Apollo...
Io
Was that her?
Rosetta
Let's hurry. We need to push forward, not look back.
Orchis
...
Orchis, looking worried, suddenly feels a heavy hand on her shoulder.
Eugen
She'll be fine... Like her dad, she tends to rush into things headfirst...
Eugen
But she always finds her way through somehow. Am I right?
Orchis
Yeah...
The crew moves on until Lyria and Orchis stop before a particular room.
Orchis
Maybe here...
Lyria
Yeah... I can feel a great power!
Akasha
...
Rackam
After all that's happened, this'll be our second time meeting...
Katalina
That's right. But from the way this looks, could it already have been activated?
Katalina
Lyria, do you sense anything? Lyria?
Lyria
...
Lyria
Unauthorized activation and hostilities detected...
Lyria
Performing erasure of all surrounding data including hostile entities...
Katalina
L-Lyria!
Orchis
It's... just like that time. In the forest... when Akasha was awakened.
Vyrn
Oh no! Just what's going on? Has that thing taken over Lyria?
Lecia
I don't know! B-but!
Akasha
...
Akasha releases a ray of light, enveloping everything it touches.
Lecia
Is everything around us... going to disappear?
Eugen
Hey, hey, hey! There's no way to stop it?
Rackam
J-just what d'you expect us to do!
Orchis
...
Akasha
...
Orchis
It... won't respond to me anymore.
Rosetta
This can't be good...
Io
B-but we fought so hard to stop the prime minister... Why...
Orchis
!
Eugen
Hey, hey now! Is this supposed to be a bad joke or something?
Rackam
Nope... Doesn't look like it at all...
Lyria
Performing erasure of all surrounding data including hostile entities...
Lecia
Could it be... Is this Akasha's true power?
All around Gran, friends are disappearing one by one into the light.
Io
No!
Vyrn
H-hey now, Lyria! Wake up already! There's gotta be something you can do!
Lyria
...
Lyria
Performing erasure of all surrounding data including hostile entities...
Rosetta
It seems... Lyria may be lost to us now.
Katalina
Unbelievable...
Lyria
Two targets remaining. Performing erasure of all surrounding data including hostile entities...
Vyrn
Even Katalina... W-what do we do, Gran? We're all that's left!
Vyrn
(Is this really the end for us?)
Vyrn
H-hey... Gran. You're not ready to give up yet, are you?
Dialogue Option
Of course not!
Vyrn
Y-yeah! There's gotta be a way outta this...
Dialogue Option
We're just getting started!
Vyrn
Heh heh! Even in a rough spot, you play it cool as always, Gran!
Vyrn
(That's right... We can't give up now!)
Vyrn
(There's gotta be... just gotta be something I can do...)
???
...
Vyrn
!
Lecia
Huh? What happened to us?
Eugen
Good golly... My head...
Eugen, on his knees, shakes his head as he slowly gets back up.
Katalina
!
Rosetta
At the least, we haven't been annihilated.
Like Rosetta, everyone starts to reappear one by one from the enveloping light.
Lyria
Partial functional damage confirmed. Self-defense functions suspended. Switching to... functional recovery...
Katalina
Lyria!
Gran catches Lyria just as she falls.
Lyria
Huh? What did I...
Io
Hey, hey, what happened? Don't tell me, Vyrn just...
Vyrn
I-I dunno what happened either.
Eugen
Anyways, now's our chance!
Eugen
Akasha's power is limited, so let's take it out while we can!
Lyria and Orchis activate Akasha properly, allowing Gran and company to stop Freesia. However, Lyria spares Freesia's life. A great enemy force is finally defeated after a long battle, but a conflict still remains between the Black Knight and Orchis.
Gran and company struggle to subdue the primal beast Akasha.
Akasha
...
After being properly reactivated by Lyria and Orchis, Akasha's abilities were left to Lyria.
Lyria
(Within here... lies all record of the past, present, and future of this world...)
Lyria
(Then that means... maybe my history is here too?)
Using her consciousness, Lyria directs Akasha to find records of herself.
Lyria
This is... my...
Lyria
...
Lyria
Huh? This is...
Black Knight
Aaahhhhh!
Freesia
Ergh!
Freesia
Gasp...
Mithra
...
Freesia
Ugh... Ah... Ahhhhh!
Freesia
...!
Black Knight
Humph...
The Black Knight is forced into a difficult battle as the power of Mithra unceasingly continues to revive Freesia.
Freesia
...
Black Knight
(There's no end to this, as I expected... But I can't allow this to go on much longer...)
Freesia
...
Freesia
Ah...
Black Knight
Hmm?
Freesia
Ahh...
Black Knight
...
Just then, the crew returns to the Black Knight, having overcome Akasha.
But upon their arrival, they are not met with gratitude, but with reproach from the Black Knight.
Black Knight
Why... Why did you do this?
Lyria
Huh? Um...
Black Knight
Don't play dumb. I told you to erase Freesia's existence from the future.
Black Knight
But why is she still here?
The Black Knights points to Freesia, collapsed on the floor.
Lyria
Um... I'm sorry...
Black Knight
She was trying to destroy the world. And yet you let her live?
Lyria
You might be right...
Lyria
B-but! I couldn't just... erase someone...
Black Knight
...
Katalina
Now, now, it should be fine. In the end, we turned the tables in our favor.
Although Lyria doesn't use Akasha's abilities to erase Freesia from the future...
She erases the dark essence and pledge from the future, ultimately stopping the prime minister.
Black Knight
Humph... You're all a bunch of softies.
Eugen
You might think so, but we've certainly cleared things up here.
Rackam
Oh boy... Now I can finally take a breather.
Io
After all that, I feel totally beat...
Rosetta
Good work. You really gave it your all this time.
Lecia
For now, it seems the capital is safe, and the world is saved! Excellent job, Gran!
Vyrn
Heh heh! I guess we did it again, Gran!
Everyone breathes a sigh of relief, having made it through to the end of a long and treacherous journey.
Black Knight
...
Orchis
...
Lyria
...
But amongst them, a veiled conflict over the next path to take will soon threaten their peace.
