Script[]
| Cut to the Light Warriors on a cliff near Pravoka. Red Mage is looking through a monocle. | |
| Black Mage | So? What do you guys see? |
| Thief | There's only one ship at the docks. It bears the mark of the rapscallions of the inner sea. |
| Red Mage | I count nine pirates aboard. |
| Fighter | The nine of them vs. the five of us? I like those odds. |
| Black Mage | Fighter, there's four of us. |
| Fighter | I like those odds. |
| Black Mage | Okay, so there's a bunch of pirates. |
| Bikke and nine pirates are shown. | |
| Black Mage | And we're got to get at their big bad pirate captain so we can get that witch her crystal thingie back. |
| Red Mage | Right! |
| Red Mage draws his plan on the sand. | |
| Red Mage | Therefore, what we must do is this. We shall out flank and beguile them with the brilliant strategy I'm sketching into the sand at this moment. It'll consist of a multi-pronged attack from all flanks, thus throwing them into a state of confusion and defeat. It shall be remembered as the "Red Mage Manuever". |
| Black Mage | What are you talking about?! They're a bunch of dorks on a boat. I could probably nuke them from here with a well aimed Hadoken. Those unlucky enough to survive the explosion would drown in the mangled wreckage of their ship. Problem solved. |
| Meanwhile... | |
| Back on Bikke's ship. | |
| Bikke | (to Garland) ...So the pirate says, "It's drivin' me nuts!" BWAHAHAHA! |
| Garland doesn't laugh. Bikke draws his sword at Garland again. | |
| Bikke | Laugh, damn ye! Don't ye know hilarity when ye sees it? Yar. |
| Garland | "Ha". "Ha ha". |
