There's something rather comforting facing death like this, wouldn't you agree? It's all that matters. Nothing else even seems to exist outside my pure instinct to survive. Rank, personal history and birth, race, sex, the name given to you...it's all meaningless. This is the only thing that's real, to fight on behalf of my own life and nothing else. I've never felt so complete. I guess you could say I've finally arrived.
Lines by Wrath 2
[Meanwhile, in the room above Father and the sacrifices, Wrath and Scar continue their battle]
ISHVALAN! I guess I was mistaken! I thought the science of alchemy was abhorrent to the eyes of Ishvala, the one you believe to be the creator of all things! Have you abandoned your god?! You would leave him... SO EASILY?! Is your god so readily lost to your people?! IS HE?! In the Ishvalan Civil War... WHEN YOU WERE SURRONDED BY NOTHING BUT DESPAIR!
[Scar attempts to attack, but is pinned down. Wrath raises his sword, poising for the kill]
Surely, somewhere in the darkest depths of your heart, you began to believe that… THERE WAS NO GOD IN THIS WORLD AT ALL!
[Up above, the eclipse ends, and the sun shines through Wrath's sword, blinding him. Taking advantage, Scar uses his destructive alchemy to destroy Bradley's sword and sever both his arms; but Wrath, in one last act of defiance, grabs the blade of his sword by his teeth and stabs the Ishvalan in the stomach with it. Scar coughs up blood, and soon after, the two collapse, both bleeding profusely.]
I myself have never believed in fate or God. If they exist, perhaps this is their way of divine justice or providence.
Scenes with Wrath 3
Long time no see. You should have just fled and kept quiet.
Unfortunately, my avarice knows no bounds. I want your life, too, Wrath.
Is he our backup?
World all over town is that you died in a train accident. How did you survive it?
My eyes are too sharp for that. I was able to evaluate in an instant where among the rubble to run to get out of here. However, the years take their toll. My body won't keep up like it used to.
[Thinking to himself] This man just survived a train wreck, and yet he's complaining about age?
Ling Yao, right?
Yeah! Haven't seen you since I hide out in that run down apartment, huh? Been a long time, Warrant Officer Falman.
I'm a lieutenant!
I owe you for the stay and the meal, so I'll give you a hand.
Although, the truth is, we both have a personal grudge against him!
[Ling and Wrath are fighting]
Moving into my blind spot, huh?
My partner inside me taught me how to fight you.
Did he? Then I will do this..
[They continue to fight as Wrath takes off his eyepatch revealing the Ultimate Eye]
[Ling and Fu continues fight against Wrath]
Ow! Watch it, old man!
I didn't do it on purp-I mean, I didn't mean it!
Why you!
I do feel more comfortable with a weapon like this. You move well, for someone even older than I am. However...this is the end for you!
[He slices Fu's headband off, and Fu jumps back, when the blood pumps out and covers his face]
[Ling Takes Over] Old man Fu!
The Xingese prince, huh?
Ling! Don't take over without my permission!
It's just like the time with that girl who lost her arm. Once again, you risk your life for something you are unable to leave behind.
Young Lord, forget me. My life isn't worth fighting for.
Don't give me that crap! Are you honestly telling me that I should be like him?! A king should fight for his people because he is nothing without them! This man is about to sacrifice his own nation! His people! I'll never become the monster that he is!
If you truly are a man worthy to be king, you must be able to accept some loss- [He coughs up blood]
You need to rest, please!
Hehehe, You're right, Young Lord, I need rest. Time for this old man to find rest. [He knocks Ling down with the back of his weapon and charges Wrath in for a suicide bombing attempt] Harden your shield, Greed! Protect the Young Lord's body! Young Lord, become the king you're meant to be. But this old servant has no choice but to offer his retirement!
[He hardens his Shield] You stupid fool!
I'm taking you to hell with me! BRADLEY!
[Wrath slices through the explosives and fatally wounds Fu]
[In his thoughts] Even with my life on the line, I cannot even lay a scratch on him? Young Lord...forgive my shame....
Even if you do have godlike eyes, there's no way you can dodge an attack you can't see coming! Old man, I'll accompany you down to hell.
Oh...you have my gratitude....
[Wrath kicks Buccaneer and Fu out as Ling uses Greed's shield hardening to attack Wrath's Ultimate Eye and destroys it for good, leaving him a mortal man]
[Looking down on the battle] GRANDFATHER!
Any last words you'd like to say?
None.
Such a sad life. Tell me, Bradley. Was there anyone who you loved? Any friends? Your wife?
My wife...
Are you saying you have nothing? No message for her? When she finds out what you are...
Your trivial words of sorrow, of love and guilt mean nothing to me, young lady. My wife understands. She is the woman that I chose to live by my side. There are no more words that need to pass between us now. That's what it means to be the wife of the Fuhrer. [Bradley chuckles as his hair turns grey with age, while Lan Fan looks on in shock] And now you've spent all your time asking useless questions and lost your opportunity for vengeance. What a shame. [He sighs] I've lived my life by forever following the path that had been set for me. Thanks to the idiosyncrasies of humanity it was, at least, a life worth living for, and maybe even a life worth dying for. [Bradley closes his eyes for good, a content smile on his face]
