Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (2017 Video Game)

David Menkin: Malos

Quotes 

• Mythra : [Illusions of Pyra and Mythra are speaking to Rex in his mind]  So forget us, Rex! For the sake of the world, abandon us.

  Rex : [Whilst dueling Jin]  Abandon you? When you are injured, I feel your pain. When you feel pain, I feel the sorrow in your heart.

  Malos : What the hell? Has he finally cracked?

  Rex : You really think I can just stand by like this? And watch someone I love suffer?

  Pyra : You can make it to Elysium! You can make it... with or without us. So, please...

  Rex : What would be the point of that? Listen, I swore to you. We're going to Elysium together! That's a promise.

  Pyra : Rex...

  [Mythra covers her mouth] 

  Rex : I'm going to Elysium for you. I'm doing all of this for you.

  [Rex knocks Jin back. He lowers his sword and closes his eyes] 

  Rex : We'll do it together! We'll find out together! We'll find our place in this world! Find out where we're headed... And see what our future holds. So believe me!

  [Jin poses, preparing to charge in for the kill] 

  Rex : I won't let the world burn a second time! So Pyra, Mythra... Jooooiiiin meeeeee!

  [while Rex is totally helpless, Jin charges and begins a fatal diagonal overhead slash] 

• Rex : So Pyra, Mythra... Jooooiiiin meeeeee!

  [while Rex is totally helpless, Jin charges and begins a fatal diagonal overhead slash. We fade to white, and Rex finds himself in an illusion of the Aion Hangar with Pyra and Mythra] 

  Pyra : This is our whole being. This is the power we were granted at birth.

  Mythra : So, Rex... Are you still sure you want this?

  Rex : Tell me, do you love this world?

  Pyra : ...Yes. Nia, Azurda... and you, Rex... I love this world because you're in it!

  Rex : [Rex nods]  Well then!

  [he extends his arms. Pyra and Mythra exchange a glance before taking his hands] 

  Jin : [Back in the real world, an emerald Core Crystal appears, hovering in front of Rex]  Wh-what? How?

  Rex : Hyaaaah!

  ["Counterattack" by Kenji Hiramatsu starts playing. The Core Crystal transforms into the third Aegis Sword as Rex grabs the handle. A rush of power pushes Jin back] 

  Jin : Ugh!

  [as Jin looks on, the third Aegis Sword finishes materializing, and Rex points it towards his right and at the ground, posing heroically] 

  Malos : A new sword?

  [suddenly, Pyra is hovering behind Rex. Yellowish-white light envelops her, flashing and fading to reveal a woman with aqua hair in a long ponytail. Her armor is silver and black with aqua and sapphire blue accents, with gold on the fronts of her boots. Futuristic "wings" materialize and hover behind her, sharing their color scheme with her armor, but being tipped with blades of aqua ether energy. She leans back before landing on the ground. Greek writing on her bosom identifies this new form as Pneuma before she smiles and finally opens her aqua eyes] 

  Rex : [Rex turns to Pneuma, relieved]  Pyra! Mythra!

  Pneuma : Apologies, Rex. Worry not. All is well. I am lost... no longer.

  [she raises a hand and points it at Rex, whose Salvager Suit is also enveloped in yellowish white light. The light recedes to reveal another new outfit, which matches Pneuma's perfectly; the armor of the Master Driver] 

  Rex : What's this?

  Pneuma : Ah, that's better, don't you think?

  [smiles adorably] 

  Rex : I could get used to this!

  [turns back to the battle and does the same pose again] 

  Rex : Everyone! Attack!

  Zeke : Yeah!

  Nia : Payback time!

  [Rex shifts to his standard battle stance; the third Aegis Sword's blade is behind its back while its hilt is held to his right side. The camera zooms out, the song ends, and we fade to black]
