Script[]
| And thus, King Steve's Kick Ass Bridge was built. | |
| View of a bridge. | |
| There's already a wreck in the southbound lane. | |
| Cut to Corneria Castle. Light Warriors and King Steve are present. | |
| And then the Light Warriors left. | |
| King Steve | Do you have Elfish people in your country too? |
| Thief | You could say that, yea. |
| Because the alternative was Hell. | |
| Cut to the Light Warriors crossing the bridge. | |
| Fighter | Man, traffic is always so bad on the King Steve. |
| Thief | SHADDUP! |
| Red Mage | |
| Black Mage | |
| Cut to a wide shot of Corneria. On fire. | |
| King Steve | (Distantly, in the castle) Now we can drill for mana anywhere! |
| Sara | Oh, dad. |
| Red Mage | (Nearby, on a hill) Well, it looks like we got out of Corneria just in time. |
| Black Mage | You can hear their screams from here... |
| Red Mage | It's a shame about you losing Theiferia though. |
| Thief | Oh, I don't know. I had a bazillion gil insurance policy on the kingdom. |
| Black Mage | You cunning bastard! |
| Fighter | Well, now what should we do now? |
| Black Mage | I say we get to Prontera before the wind changes and we have to smell the burn victims. |
| The Light Warriors begin walking through the wilderness. | |
| Red Mage | Good call, BM. Morbid, but a good call all the same. |
| Black Mage | (Closeup with twisted trees in the background) Hey, that's what I'm here for: sage, yet disturbing, advice. |
| Black Mage | (Back to walking) What's so special about this stupid Prontera anyway? |
| Red Mage | It's the capital of the Rune-Midgart kingdom. |
| Red Mage | (Closeup) The city has a cathedral, a Knight's Guild, and a park. There's the Great Annual Arena Tournament that attracts warriors from around the-- |
| Black Mage | Okay, okay, Captain Tour Guide. I get it. Sounds like there's a lot to do there. |
| Red Mage | Oh yeah, it's a lot of fun... if you enjoy pointless leveling up. And I do. |
| Fighter | (At the bottom margin of the strip) I wrote Princess Sara a haiku of love. Here it is!
I like swords and I |
Trivia[]
- The wide angle of the Light Warriors silhouetted on the bridge mirrors the interlude on the original Final Fantasy (though Corneria isn't on fire in that game)
- A Haiku is a Japanese "poem" which has lines of five, seven and five syllables respectively
