Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)
Cornerstone of Ambition:
Depending on your progress in the story, characters you have yet to recruit may appear in these events.
- Chocobo: Kweh! Kweh, kweh!
- Terra: That's a good chocobo.
- Firion: Looking at this almost makes me forget we're in the midst of a battle.
- Layle: Playing around is fine, but try not to ruffle their feathers!
(The ground shakes)
- Firion: Wh-what is this trembling!?
- Mog: I've detected powerful magic coming from over there, kupo!
- Mog: I've got a bad feeling about this! We should go check it out, kupo!
(The Emperor defeats a group of Skeletons)
- The Emperor: Insufficient... This simply won't do...
- The Emperor: I need more power to see my ambitions through...
- Firion: The Emperor!
(The party arrives)
- The Emperor: Ah, the worms have come crawling.
- Layle: Did you just take out some monsters? Weren't they your subordinates?
- Terra: Don't tell me you also mean to destroy all life...!?
- The Emperor: Please. I am nothing like that blathering buffoon.
- The Emperor: They have offered their magic energies up to me. A far more significant purpose than meaningless destruction.
- The Emperor: It will become a part of my new castle...
- Firion: You're absorbing the power of monsters to rebuild Pandemonium?
- Layle: That didn't turn out so well before. And now you're trying to make a new one?
- Layle: I'd almost think you're being vindictive...but really you've just got a lot of time on your hands, huh?
- Firion: Emperor! We won't let you do as you please!
- Firion: We'll stop you here! Let's go!
- Terra: Yes!
- Layle: Leave it to me!
- The Emperor: The girl born with magic powers and the man imbued with the power of the crystal...
- Layle: ...Quit staring, would you? You're creeping me out...
- The Emperor: I hope you have no qualms with being sacrifices.
- Firion: You can't mean...!
- The Emperor: Submit your power to me, you worms!
- The Emperor: Consider it an honor to be a cornerstone of my ambition! Ahahahaha!
Imperial Nuisance:
- The Emperor: You impudent worms...!
- Leon: Give up, Emperor. Your ambitions end here.
- The Emperor: Traitors have no right to speak.
- The Emperor: Have you forgotten that I was the one to gift you that power?
- Leon: Enough! My strength comes from the desire to protect my comrades!
- The Emperor: Emotions... How useless.
- The Emperor: But it would be hasty for me to give up here.
- Maria: What are you saying?
- The Emperor: I see now that even worms can be strong when they band together...
- The Emperor: So tell me: what is the secret to your power!?
- Bartz: Secret? Fighting together.
- Ace: Not something you could understand.
- The Emperor: It is because I do not understand that I cannot overlook this.
- The Emperor: I look forward to seeing you grow into worthy human sacrifices...
(The Emperor disappears)
- Maria: Wait!
- Leon: He got away...
- Bartz: Just what was he trying to say?
- Ace: He called us human sacrifices...most likely to complete his plans.
- Ace: What's that?
(The Emperor's Dimensional Coordinates are left behind)
- Maria: Dimensional coordinates!?
- Bartz: Did he leave them here!?
- Ace: He said he looked forward to seeing us grow... I get it.
- Ace: Should we keep it?
- Firion: Throw them away. I have less than no desire to cooperate with him.
- Maria: Me neither! How horrid!
- Bartz: I understand how you guys feel, but...
- Bartz: Look.
(The Chocobos arrive and gather around the coordinates)
- Chocobo: Kweh? Kweh?
- Maria: The chocobos...
- Bartz: It seems like they're interested in those coordinates.
- Bartz: We just can't leave something like that lying around...
- Ace: If any harm came to the chocobos...!
- Leon: For heaven's sake... Your love for chocobos knows no bounds.
- Leon: I suppose we had best pick them up then...
- Firion: L-Leon, are you out of your mind!?
- Bartz: I understand how you guys feel, Firion, but the chocobos are blameless.
- Ace: It's up to us to decide whether or not to call on the Emperor in battle.
- Ace: There may come a time when we have no choice...
- Leon: ...And must we simply accept the conditions.
- Maria: How did it come to this...?
Domination is His Name:
- Barret: I can't take this...
- Barret: It's fine if he comes to help, but how long is he going to keep calling us "worms"!?
- Selphie: It's so weird, right? I guess it's because he really, really looks down on us.
- Deuce: Why did he decide to work with us after all this time?
- Firion: The Emperor?
(The Final Fantasy II party arrives)
- Barret: Yeah! I can't stand the jerk!
- Selphie: He keeps saying "ambition" this and "ambition" that! Just what does he want?
- Firion: To dominate the world.
- Maria: He used monsters to conquer our world...
- Maria: I think he plans to do the same here. Now there are just more worlds he can invade.
- Barret: ...That's simple enough.
- Selphie: "The world is mine! Mwahaha!" A for real, by-the-book villain!
- Deuce: You might call it refreshing...
- Leon: But that is what makes him so terrifying.
- Leon: He believes that his dominion is the only justice.
- Leon: Those who stand in his way are obstacles he has no choice but to destroy.
- Selphie: Ahhh, that's why he calls us worms!
- Deuce: That's what cleared things up for you...?
- Leon: He will use whatever means necessary to gain total control...
- Barret: So he's like a monster that can speak? Great...
- Barret: So? What's got that monster wanting to hang out with us?
- Firion: The Emperor judges a person's value by how much he can use them.
- Maria: Do you remember when he worked with Seymour?
- Selphie: Yes! And he totally betrayed him!
- Firion: The Emperor can't use any of Spiritus's warriors, so they don't have any value to him.
- Deuce: I see... That's why he's setting his sights on us.
- Firion: Whether he uses us or eliminates us only spells out trouble...
- Selphie: Then why don't we just pretend to be super weak in front of him next time?
- Selphie: Then he'll think we're useless, attack us, and we can beat 'im up!
- Barret: I don't think we can do that...
- Maria: There is a chance the Emperor will try to trick us in the future.
- Leon: So we shouldn't let ourselves be deluded by his words.
- Leon: Like...someone before.
