[The Emperor is seated in a room which should be rather familiar to those who had seen Lufene's little pout-fest previously or in the case of one flower-bearing boy had actually been in the place first hand. His hair is no longer in the style it held before, the golden horns to either side of his head now revealed for any to see and while he's still in those mage robe's he wore previous, he now holds his usual golden staff, though the oak one is still nearby, leaning against the throne he's seated in. The man looks almost contemplative as he looks at the screen within the phone.]

Might someone explain just what Death means here?

For quite certainly I had managed to kill Firion a while back, but now he once again walks this world.

Does death hold no sway or is there something within this world which defies it and brings back those who have no desire to remain in Death's cold embrace?

[Utterly infuriated to see this man gloating about murdering someone he knows, Edward was honestly struggling to say anything to this fanciful monster. This must be the Emperor, the man which Rydia mentioned earlier.]

You...

[He glares at Mateus.]

You have no right to talk so callously about causing the death of another! If you are truly Firion's murderer, then you shall face judgment for your actions.

[Have a rather bored look in your direction boy.]

I'm an Emperor, if my subjects displease me I have every right to destroy them. Firion was from my own realm and empire, thus I see no reason I should have refrained from killing him since he had displeased me previously with his continued defiance against me.

[He's not very impressed with you either, sparky!]

You are no emperor! You're merely another lunatic seeking for what cannot be obtained by force or bloodshed. People are not things to be tossed around for your amusement, and your subjects are not puppets!

Therefore, it wasn't the madman who killed the boy after all.

[The Marquis wasn't fond of exchanging words with someone as foul as this autocratic emperor, but he couldn't help but say something to the fiend.]

You do realize that you've merely condemned yourself by announcing such a crime so frivolously.

Correct, and you say that as if I should care what these petty human governments think of me or my actions. I'm an Emperor within my own realm and with time I will be Emperor of this one as well.

[It dawns on him suddenly that this is the fiend that the anonymous messenger warned the Council about weeks ago after Firion's public demise.]

I see...

You're the monster he mentioned.

You... you were the one that killed Firion? You just signed your own death warrant.

[Yuffie's not happy in the slightest.]

As if it matters now, but I did yes. You may try to come after me, but I doubt it will be my death that comes of such a meeting between us.

You'd be surprised at what I'm capable of. Of what the rest of us are capable of.

Don't you dare touch him.

That is a rather redundant statement, dear. I already have once, perhaps if I do it again I might figure out this mystery since no one seems inclined to answer my questions.

Why would any of us want to answer your questions? You just admitted that you killed Firion. If I'd known that, I would never have told you about Pandaemonium.

You admit to cold-blooded murder in public!?

Yes. Your point is?

I don't know why you are all so fixated on the point of the killing, I only used it as an example for the question I desired answered.

Does death mean so little to you!?

We do not tolerate such evil in Gaia! Those who take innocent lives will be executed!

[GLARE.]

How dare you. We won't let you touch him again!

[A frightened gasp, but there's anger laced in her trembling voice.]

How...? How can you say something like that so calmly, as though his life means nothing?

Does it really?

Considering the way humans fight each other, saying one thing and doing another, false promises of justice which only lead to more war and death given by human hands.. how can I hold any value to such pathetic creatures when they hold none for it themselves?

[No. No! Not everyone wanted to fight--there were truly good people here, who wanted peace. This wasn't like Ivalice, where everyone fought each other, grasped at everything to gain power...

Her voice kept trembling, uncertainty but definite anger becoming more apparent with each word:]

That is not true. There are many humans who feel the value of human life. Not all of us want to fight, want to kill.

Don't put us in the same category as you!

You assume my dear, that I am human. You shouldn't make such base assumptions that everyone which looks human actually is.

What you say may be true and yet likely isn't. But even if it were, those who might truly desire peace are in a definite minority.

Look at how the natives in this world are treating the unfortunate 'sky people' who certainly didn't ask to be brought here and yet are trying to make the best of it. This is their thanks for trying to help this world? If that is so, then one could certainly do without such rewards.

Should I assume they are not? You speak true; one should not judge by appearances...

You lie. More wish for harmony than you realize; what can one gain from war, from fighting? There are those who gain and revel in it, but I am certain that there are fewer of those than you say.

There must be.

And the natives are simply frightened. It is wrong for them to lash out, but in a state of great stress and duress, panic is expected. In time, things will calm. I am certain of that.

Death is not a mere word to be tossed around, your Highness. Surely, your will be the next to be purged from this world and to atone for your sins.

[He should have stabbed you when he had the chance, Emperor. Drain or no.]

You should not bother to ponder such things. Even if this world does return you to life, we will be there to kill you once again.
