Robin Atkin Downes: Yasha

Asura's Wrath

Yasha

Yasha: When you live among the stars, you lose sight of what is happening on the ground.

Yasha: [defeats Asura] Enough! We are bringing salvation to Gaea. As Priestess, Mithra has dedicated herself to the salvation of our world. You should be proud.
Asura: What did you say? Be proud, of Mithra suffering?
Yasha: Yes, and I will say it again: your daughter is devoted the cause in order to save the world!
Asura: Who do you think you are?
Yasha: God.
Asura: YASHA!
[charges]

Yasha: [to Asura] Now that you have something to protect, why are you so full of rage? Or perhaps, that is exactly why...
Augus: Something to protect? Nonsense! The only reason one needs to fight, is the fight itself!
Yasha: That is so like you, Master.

Yasha: Even Augus could not defeat you... why? Why do you keep coming back? What is it that you are fighting for? And this power of yours, how can it surpass the power that took us 12000 years to attain?

Yasha: All these years, I have believed in the cause. But Asura's Mantra has grown powerful enough to rival our own, that of the Brahmastra... after the blast, we lost track of his whereabouts. We do not know when he might attack again!

Sergei: [to Asura] What fuels your wrath? Was it the loss of that woman...?
[Yasha moves]
Sergei: Oops! How careless of me. Ah, but the cat is out of the bag now, as they say. 12000 years ago, when he was branded a traitor and hunted down, where do you think I was? Yes, who do you think took Mithra? Who do you think I took her from?
[laughs]
Sergei: It was I! I killed your precious sister!
[Yasha is silent]
Sergei: Oh, how boring. I thought you would show me a more beautiful face than that.
Yasha: I... I knew.
Sergei: I see. So you chose the cause over your own sister. Bravo! You deserve a treat, loyal dog of Deus! So you, too, see the beauty in the death of your family...
[Asura stomps Sergei]

Yasha: [looks at Asura] There is not much time... you are the only one who can save this world.

Yasha: Why are you here, Asura? Do you even know what you want? You have already failed once at living. You are a fool. Next time, do not come back.

Yasha: [fighting Asura] Do you realize Wyzen wasted hundreds of millions of souls, just to fight you? No, I suppose not.

Asura: You are as ugly as ever.
Yasha: [unmasked] As is your temper. But... before the cause, it is meaningless!
[chops Asura in half and drops him into lava]
Asura: Do not return again. Witness the salvation of the world from the depths of Naraka.

Yasha: Olga, you cannot do this! With that one blast, do you realize how much Mantra will be lost? All the souls that have been given for the cause... Do you not realize that this will hinder the coming of the Great Rebirth?
Olga: Then we will just get more Mantra! With the mortals under our control, our supply is endless! If we do not finish him now, there will be NO Great Rebirth!
Yasha: Wait, I will finish Asura...
Olga: Like you did before?... If we finish him now, once and for all, he can never come back!
Yasha: Do not stray from the cause! That power is made for the eradication of the Gohma! Do not waste the souls of the dead on the likes of him!
Olga: This conversation is over! You will not interfere!
[shuts off the screen]
Yasha: All of those souls are for the cause... I will interfere. I will not let you do this!

Sergei: Soon this village will be overrun with Gohma. Before that happens, we must take action. Prepare to purify the village immediately. Wipe it out.
Yasha: But the village is not under attack yet...
Sergei: That's quaint. But this is what we do, you know this.
[the Gohma are spotted]
Sergei: Well well well, here they come! How disgusting!... Or perhaps YOU would like to exterminate them before they reach the village?
Yasha: I had planned on it...
