Force without wisdom falls of its own weight. - Horace

This is a continuation of the story.

After the funds were transferred, the halls showed a clear disorientation among the soldiers which now seemed more busy arguing in a hostile way. Before too long, fire breaks out and so does mass slaughter. The main character knows that this will be on a larger scope than simply in this vicinity, by the force of the coin, he had successfully turned his nation against himself. He manages to take the remaining characters upwards towards the observatory in the this grand momentum. A few loyal soldiers fall victim as the tough soldier character deals with them. Continuing up the monument he can see that the entire city below them is in disarray, fires breaking out. This scene does focus heavily on artistic values such as color theories and light/eye guidance. Near the top a single room is visible, this is the room of the top vassal. They open the door, and see the old wise man character sit in the middle in the great office. He seems more content if anything. The main character pins all fault on him, holding him at gunpoint. However, the old wise man seems to be accepting blame so easily, so light heatedly. Something was up, and they soon caught the smell of it.

The old wise man had a past which had troubled him greatly, all the lives he had claimed both now and then. Even though he tried to change the system for the better, it was irreversible and bad just lead to worse. Although this is not properly explained, the main character knows it. He gives him the following message. " You think I am going to let you get away that cheaply, think again". The Old Wise man smiles and says the way now is open. The palace walls now find themselves breakable, take out the general/sub antagonist and all loyalty will be gone.

They take down to the streets, the fires blaze high and the streets in chaos. The otherwise green-like sky would now be radiating a more red environment. Driving past what seems to be an endless wasteland of destruction towards what can be described as a massive complex. It also is suffering from a large scale level of damage. There was a way through the walls they utilized, but the hallways were more or less filled with slaughtered corpses. They soon realize that there is no one here, until they reach what seems like a hangar. There a single man dressed in a large, black armor stands. The tough soldier class prevents the protagonist from going any further. Stepping close towards him, no words are shared. This is the one that stood behind the general. The one which the tough soldier reacted too so much earlier.

Before too long, the environment turns completely gray. The strong dynamic use of gray scale with highlights. Since there are no weapons, each blow reveals in a shock wave type of artistic design color as a falloff of the force which is used. Red is shown, at least in the blood as the battle is quite intense. Before too long, the black guardian stabs him through the chest with what seems to be a cheap move. The tough soldier is by now coughing blood as he is lifted into the air while this is occurring. A few simple words slips out of the mouth of the dark guardian. "Inferior.....". After this, the tough soldier pulls himself closer too the dark guardian. With all his force, the tough soldier lands a blow upon him which knocks him out cold. Taking much of the tough soldier with him. As he lays dying on the floor, the protagonist approaches him. The tough soldier seems happy, and asks the protagonist to promise to save his sister.

This is however when one can hear the applause of a single person above them. The general was watching them. Telling the protagonist that he was very impressed. How well he had managed to use others to his own gain and that he would have made a great military commander.

The tough soldier does not understand, but on a large screen what shows the video of his his sister being killed while in prison. After the video finished, the tough soldier, dying as he was seemed fuming. The general said the following. " Commander 'name'. You are now relived of your duty, your service is complete and you may now find peace...... Or not by the looks of it".

This is when the protagonist turns towards him, looking him in the eye once more. Although he feels like shit, he knew what he was doing. It is a powerful moment in the film and one that sets the tone for the final parts of the movie. Words are shared, but the one that feels worst is the sub-protagonist. They eventually leave the tough soldier behind and follows the general which said he would be waiting at the top of the tower. Since the tower was rather huge, it would probably be a long way to the top.
