Let's Play Final Fantasy IV USA (#4) - Yang of Fabul
12In this episode the party heads to Mt. Hobs to make their way to Fabul, the kingdom that holds the Wind Crystal. Upon arrival at the foot of the mountain, the party finds the path blocked by thick ice, and Rosa asks Rydia to use fire magic to melt it. Rydia is initially reluctant, however, due to her traumatic experience with the fire that burned her hometown. Rosa reminds Rydia that if she cannot overcome her fear, even more people will be in danger. Rydia takes Rosa's speech to heart, and courageously casts fire magic to melt the ice, opening the way forward and conquering her fear. At the summit of Mt. Hobs, the party encounters a man under attack from monsters. They stand in amazement as he single handedly defeats several of them, but when a larger bomb-like creature attacks him, they join the stranger to help fend off the attack. Working together, they defeat the creature, even as it expands and explodes into six lesser monsters. The warrior introduces himself as Yang of Fabul, and the party informs him that Fabul is their destination as well, and that the kingdom is in immanent danger of a Baronian attack. Yang reasons that the monster ambush was a ploy by Golbez to buy time to attack Fabul, and joins the party as they rush to defend the Wind Crystal.
Upon arrival in Fabul, the party informs the king of the danger, and they hurriedly redouble the castle's defenses, with Yang, Cecil, and Edward manning the front-line. Rosa and Rydia stay inside as healers, and the battle soon commences. Wave after wave of monsters are smashed by the three heroes, but the Redwings arrive as air support to being bombing the castle, and they are forced to retreat inside. The monsters keep coming, and continue pushing the trio back, until they decide to retreat to the crystal room to make their final stand. Suddenly, Kain appears, and Cecil is initially relieved until he realizes Kain is under Golbez's sway. Kain challenges Cecil to a one-on-one duel, and Cecil proves no match for the Dragoon Knight. Soon Rosa and Rydia arrive to intervene, and Kain cannot bear to have Rosa look upon him. This strange reunion is interrupted by the arrival of Golbez himself, who uses his immense power to fell Yang and Edward in a single blast of lightning. He commands Kain to take the crystal, and when Rosa protests, Golbez decides to kidnap her as a promise to Cecil that they will meet again. Golbez, Kain, and Rosa all leave, and the party lays defeated, save for Rydia. She uses her Cure magic to revive the remaining team, and refuses to allow them to fall into despair over their defeat. Rydia tells them that they can still get the Crystal back along with Rosa, and the party decides to regroup to plan their next move. They head to the inn inside the castle, and make a plan to attempt to get to Baron by sea, as their navy is much weaker than their air force. Yang convinces the king to allow them to use a ship to enact their plan, and before they leave the king gifts Cecil the Black Sword, a powerful sword left behind by another Dark Knight from long ago. Before they disembark, the king admonishes Cecil that he will not be able to defeat true evil wielding the power of the dark side. The party then makes preparations to disembark on their ship, but hear ominous whispers of recent shipwrecks among the remaining castle guards.
