Vicious, in demon form, is facing down Kasque, apparently a goddess. As he fights her, the party exclaims that Vicious now seems to be just as strong as she is, if not stronger.
Vicious: C'mon, is that all you've got?
As he continues to fight, the party (and Kasque's minions) suddenly feel something come over them—a pain like someone gripping their heart, making it hard to move. Black flames erupt from nowhere, covering the whole city.
Vicious seems undeterred.
Vicious: Come on now, entertain me! You can take more'n that! SO TAKE IT! Misella: *Gasp*... Urk... Is this pain... from the flames...? Vicious: CONSUME! RAVAGE! Kanata: The flames...growing...spreading...everywhere... My strength... being sucked... out of me... These flames... They're... Vicious: MOLDER AND CRUMBLE. FUEL ME AND BURN TO ASH. Forte: What we'd heard about the Great Transgressor... That he "consumes all life to feed himself." Is this what that meant...? What he's truly capable of...?
A mysterious woman stands nearby and comments that Vicious is an idiot for releasing power that he's spent so much time suppressing.
Vicious continues provoking Kasque to fight, while the flames still spread and everyone else shudders in pain.
Kanata: *Pant* *Pant* *Pant*... Vicious! That's... That's enough! Don't use...any more power! You have to stop! Vicious: What did you just say? You're not gettin' in my way, are ya, Kanata? Kanata: What? Vicious: Because anything that gets in my way...is dead. BEGONE! BEGONE! BEGONE! LET NOTHING REMAIN! Aegis: He's attacking! Kanata: Vicious, stop! Yuna: Non, Kanana! Your words will not reach 'im now. We 'ave to fight! Misella: Vicious, do you understand what you're doing? Vicious: It's your turn to entertain me, Kanata! Kanata: Vicious... Damn it... Do we really have to fight? Vicious: You better!
They have to fight. They're no match for Vicious.
Vicious: Ah ha ha! Not bad. You never fail to amuse me, Kanata. And that's gonna make this so much more fun! Kanata: *Pant* *Pant*... Urk... I... I can't even... move... Misella: But... if we don't stop Vicious... ???: It is beyond your power to stop him. Aegis: Who are you?! ???: At this rate, he'll consume every last bit of life in the area. That is what the Great Transgressor does. That is Vicious's true power. Kanata: This is the Great Transgressor? This is who Vicious really is? ???: He's spent all this time suppressing it out of fear of what he'd become, and yet here it is. His back must have really been against the wall this time. Hmm. So be it. Kanata: L-Look out! If he comes this way-- ???: ... Vicious: And YOU are?
The woman speaks some kind of incantation. A blinding light envelops Vicious, and when it fades he's back in human form, looking a bit worse for wear.
Vicious: ... Urgh... *Pant* *Pant* *Pant* Who the hell...? Kanata: He's back! Vicious is back to his old self! Vicious!!!
Kanata rushes over to Vicious.
Vicious: What, Kanata, you gonna burst into tears or somethin'? Tch. You look like such a tool. Kanata: Well whose fault is that?! I was worried about you! Vicious: ...Spare me. ???: Do not attempt to wield powers you cannot control. Especially if you have any regard for those around you. Kanata: Thank you so much, ma'am! But... who are you? Ivis: My name is Ivis. I'm but a humble traveling sorceress.
