Episode 2: The Ghost-Devouring Falcon
About Team Lawrence's assignment to get rid of a group of mercenaries which also happened to steal Falk's old squad name.Chapter 1: Dreams of Farewell
In the wilderness somewhere, the injured Falk found Joyce, his friend and their "Ghost Squadron" squad's leader resting his even more injured body beside a big pile of rocks.
Falk tried to help Joyce but got told by him that it was already too late and that Falk should run away. Falk got so angry he almost punched Joyce.
Suddenly, a huge feral monster appeared in front of them. Sensing that it's the same one that had attacked Joyce, Falk charged into it.
Surrounded by the huge monster and more of other beasts, Falk fought them the best he could while yelling out to Joyce not to die on him.
Shouting that both of them, the strongest mercenaries, Falk and Joyce, who got no money, no family, no training, who were nothing but ghosts with no places in society, only had places in battlefields, had sworn to show the world what they could do, what they could be, to leave their names in history, and that they wouldn't stop until they reached their goal. That that's why Joyce must not die there.
After Falk defeated the monsters, Joyce praised him, asked him what he would like to be, that they wouldn't always be ghosts, that ghosts would be banished when morning comes and they would be born anew. He said he thought it's morning soon.
Joyce couldn't make it back alive.
Chapter 2: Pursuing Prey
Woke up from the same dream he had always had since back then, Falk went to canteen in order to have his lunch.
Before he could get to his lunch, however, he was greeted by Hugo and Amelie who told him about their new missions, so he decided to just skip the meal.
When Amelie was going to start explaining what they needed to do, Falk got impatient and told her to just talk about it on the way before setting off.
And so there they were at Highgarden Capital, Amelie told Falk that they were assigned to take care of a group of mercenaries that was hired by the soldiers but then the group just started pillaging in the middle of a mission.
Falk got pissed off by the he-called-them third rated mercenaries group that made real mercenaries look bad and started by looking for outcasts living on the streets to ask them for more information of the group.
Falk asked Amelie if the group had a name, which she answered that they called themselves "Ghost Squadron".
Falk couldn't believe it and told Hugo and Amelie that the group had died long time ago. Hugo wondered if the group was going with "ghosts can't die" idea. Falk unamusingly rejected the notion.
Lawrence team went to the backstreets, knocked out some approaching thugs in progress, and found a boy called out to Falk.
The boy's name was Salim, he currently worked as a peddler in neighboring towns.
He and Falk had known each other when Falk was still on the streets in the Capital and he was a big fan of Falk.
Salim asked if Falk was there because of the new Ghost Squadron, so Falk asked him about the group.
The boy asked them to bring him with them in exchange for the information. Falk instantly refused but Amelie and Hugo thought it's fine to let the boy come with them, so that they can divide teams to look for information more efficiently.
Amelie went and set up two teams: one with her and Hugo, and another with Falk and (approved be Amelie herself) provisional member Salim. Falk totally had no say in it.
Salim led Falk to Sundown Alley to meet with an information broker who should know about the issue.
They got approached by groups of thugs who didn't let them get through, so Falk just beat them all up while also trying to keep the boy out of danger.
Falk and Salim arrived at the Bar. A man told Falk to fight him as the last test before he could get what he wanted and Falk won against him.
The man knew that Falk was called Falk the Tyrant in the past. While Salim got shocked that the man knew the name, Falk just identified him that the man was the said broker called Doohan who they were looking for, at which the man admitted.
Doohan knew that Falk was there for the "Ghost Squadron" information. He told Falk that he had sold them good amounts of information and told Falk where to find them.
Chapter 3: In a Dark Hole
With that information, Lawrence Team went in the "Ghost Squadron" group's hideout through their front gate. Storming in past all the thugs.
Hugo asked Falk why he seemed especially pissed off more than usual when he heard the group's name, and asked if the former "Ghost Squadron" has anything to do with him.
Falk told them that original Ghost Squadron consisted of two mercenaries, the leader of the group had died and the only survivor was him.
Hugo and Amelie told him that from their investigation, they found that the current leader of "Ghost Squadron" was a woman.
Whacking thugs through the buildings, they still couldn't find the leader.
Falk began to wonder if they got tricked by the broker while Hugo suggested for them to research the buildings first before getting to the conclusion.
They found a man in one big room. The man thought they are imperial soldiers and said he didn't expect them to find the man's group hideout. The man told them this place was not their main base and he guessed they already knew that.
They fought and when Falk was going to finish him off, the man told him that the group had got a hold of Salim who reached the place before them, currently the boy was in their main base. The man ridiculed him, saying how sad it was that he, Falk the Tyrant, couldn't protect his friend. Falk raged and immediately killed the man without knowing where the said base was.
Hugo said they might still be able to save Salim in time. Falk snapped at him, asking how would they save the boy without knowing where to go.
At that exact moment, Amelie found a piece of paper with symbols on it.
Chapter 4: The Vanishing Ghost
The symbols were used when Falk was still on the streets, so he could read it.
The content in the paper told Falk where the main base was.
Along the way to the cave that was where the main baae was located in, Falk complained about how Salim went in the base by himself and got captured, that it was when weaklings tried to act tough like this that they brought themselves to death.
Amelie asked if this whole incident made Falk think about Joyce's death and if that's why he was angry. Falk flatly declined.
After a while, Amelie asked Falk if he lived on the streets after he left the orphanage which he answered yes, out there he talked with his fists and lived as he pleased. He also told them that it was then when he met Salim who was an orphan who kept getting bullied and stolen food and gald by other kids.
Seeing too much of it, Falk back then allowed the boy to go with him to work and after that he couldn't get the boy away from him.
Telling all this, he confirmed that he just didn't want to have the sight of the boy's corpse haunting him.
Falk, Hugo and Amelie got rid of the guards in front of the cave and went inside.
In the middle of the cave, they found Salim's belongings dropped on the floor, the bag confirmed that they had took the right way.
Storming through swarms of beasts and thugs in the cave, they found themselves with biggest hoards of beasts.
Hugo and Amelie told Falk to go ahead because there was not much time left to save Salim.
Falk sped into the deepest part of the cave after telling both people not to die on him.
Falk ran into the "Ghost Squadron" leader trying to have Salim join them or they might just have to kill him.
The leader greeted Falk and told him that ghosts like him should just stay buried in the past.
Falk swept away some good amount of the group's thugs. There, Amelie and Hugo came in the scene.
Seeing that there was no way to talk Lawrence Team to join them, the leader got in to the fight to finish them off herself.
Observing the way she fought, Hugo pointed out that she was actually a stigmata knight.
Now that they could identify her, the leader didn't feel she had any reasons to conceal her identity anymore.
It was Federation's scheme to infiltrate in the Empire, pretending to be bandits. However, the leader found herself enjoyed being able to just take things from people, to live like a ghost without rules. Falk thought she had got some issues but that had nothing to do with him. The only issue for him was how she stole his squad's name and that's why he would end her here.
The leader lost the fight but she didn't regret it. She said she was satisfied to the point that she didn't even need a grave, even if it's just going to end like this.
She told him that as a noble, she had never had freedom before in her life, everything was decided for her, so now she was fine to just die on her own terms as a nameless ghost. She couldn't understand why Falk gave up being a ghost.
Falk told her he was different from her, that he one day wanted to have it all, and that ghosts didn't get to have anything, couldn't even live in the light.
The woman laughed and said having it all wasn't really worth a thing.
Falk said that's what for him to decided by himself and finished her off.
Falk was still pissed off how the woman said having it all wasn't worth a thing.
Hugo said she might have her own struggles.
Falk said it didn't matter since she's dead now.
Salim ran back to them and got scolded by Falk. He apologized to Falk saying he just wanted to be of use to him, or more like, to have Falk be proud of him.
Falk told Salim to be more careful because it didn't matter how brave one was when they ended up dead.
The morning seemed to have come.
Falk hoped that this time the light would really banish all the ghosts.
