Final Fantasy IV - stream 3
Story recap: The antlion turns out to be more hostile than expected, so the party is forced to kill it to take a sand pearl. The pearl cures Rosa's fever, and she joins then to travel to the kingdom of Fabul, to warn them that their wind crystal may be Baron's next target. On the way through Mount Hobs, they come across a group of monsters attacking Yang, a monk of Fabul, and rush to his aid. He joins the party, and the five travel to Fabul to defend it against the coming attack.
Sure enough, the Red Wings arrive the next day, and Cecil and his friends do their best to hold the castle's defenses. They eventually get pushed back into the crystal room, when Kain appears. Cecil asks him to join the fight, but Kain turns out to be on Baron's side, and fights Cecil instead. Rosa manages to stop the fight before Kain deals a killing blow. Golbez enters, meeting the party for the first time, and commands Kain to take the crystal. He abducts Rosa and leaves with her and the wind crystal before anyone can do anything about it.
Cecil and Yang devise a plan to attack Baron from the sea, where its defenses are relatively weak. The king of Fabul gives them a ship, and they set off in the morning. However, before they can reach their destination, Leviathan, the king of the sea, attacks the ship. Rydia falls overboard; Yang dives in after her; Edward has a bad fall on the deck of the ship; and Cecil loses consciousness.
Cecil wakes up on a beach, all alone. As fate would have it, the sea brought him back to Mysidia. After enduring a very hostile reception from the town's residents, he gets an audience with the Mysidian elder. Cecil does his best to apologize for his prior deeds, and explains his mission to stop Golbez from gathering the crystals. Despite the urgency of the situation, the elder tells him that he cannot hope to defeat Golbez while he wears the armor of a dark knight. He sends Cecil on a quest to Mount Ordeals in the east, and summons two young mages, Palom and Porom, to accompany him.
As the three ascend the mountain, they cross paths with Tellah, who had come to the mountain seeking Meteor, the most powerful spell, in order to use it in vengeance against Golbez. Tellah joins the group so they can seek the secrets of the mountain together.
At the top of the mountain, they come face to face with Scarmiglione, an elemental archfiend sent by Golbez to put an end to Cecil and his quest. After a fearsome battle, they reach a monument at the top of the mountain, which speaks to Cecil, drawing him into a hidden place deeper inside the mountain. Cecil is granted the light of the paladin, and has a spiritual battle with his former self. The light of the mountain also grants Tellah all of his forgotten spells, as well as Meteor, the greatest of black magic. As Cecil acclimates to his new role, the party heads down the mountain for a triumphant return to Mysidia.
