Let's Play Final Fantasy IV USA (#5) - The Trial of Mt. Ordeals
9In this episode the party disembarks aboard the ship provided by the king of Fabul, and Yang's wife is there to see us off. Things finally seem to be looking up, as Cecil plans to see Cid once they arrive in Baron in the hopes that the engineer will provide some assistance in overthrowing command of the Redwings. Edward, however, begins to have a bad feeling, and sure enough, a gigantic whirlpool appears in the sea nearby. The crew looks on in horror as they realize what they're seeing: Leviathan, master of the seas. Everyone begins to panic, and as waves crash against the ship Rydia is thrown overboard. Yang fearlessly dives in after her, and Edward is thrown to the deck as the ship is pulled into the center of the whirlpool and sinks.
An unknown amount of time later, Cecil awakens on a beach, and realizes he is all alone. With the fate of the rest of the party unknown, he solitarily trudges to a nearby town. In a cruel twist of fate, that town happens to be Mysidia, the very place Cecil attacked as captain of the Redwings. The townspeople are filled with spite and incredulity at his second appearance in their town, but the Elder is slightly more forgiving; he is, at least, willing to hear Cecil out. The Elder informs Cecil that if he wishes to repent for his past misdeeds, he must climb Mt. Ordeals in the east to undergo its trial. At the summit Cecil must cast aside his alliance with darkness and turn to the light if he ever hopes to defeat Golbez. The Elder then summons two child wizards, Palom and Porom, to accompany Cecil's quest to the top of the mountain. The three then disembark for the mountain, at at the base find the way blocked by a wall of flames. Porom uses his ice magic to clear the way, but when he begins to boast of his prowess, Palom knocks some sense into him, and the three continue their journey upward. As they draw closer to the summit, they encounter Tellah, who is there seeking the legendary black magic Meteor. Cecil has nothing but bad news about his travels since the two last met, and Tellah decides to accompany him once again, saying that he cannot defeat Golbez with his spells alone. Meanwhile, Golbez has some plans of his own, and summons Milon, the fiend of Earth to do his bidding. Golbez does not want Cecil to complete this trial, as it will represent a growing threat to his domination. Milon happily obliges Golbez's request that he travel to Mt. Ordeals to confront Cecil, and when the party reaches the summit they find Milon waiting for them. In concert with his group of Ghasts, he attacks the party, but proves no match for Tellah and Porom's fire magic. The party travels across the bridge, but they haven't won just yet: Milon reappears behind them in his true form, Milon Z! The party must quickly get back in formation due to this dastardly back attack, and the real battle begins. The combined efforts of Palom and Porom's Twin magic, along with helpful healing from Tellah and Cecil's Black sword prove enough to defeat the creature, and he plummets to the bottom of the ravine. With nothing standing in his way, Cecil travels inside the temple atop the mountain, and is greeted by a voice calling him "My son." Facing his reflection in the mirrored wall, the Legend sword is granted to Cecil and he transforms into a Paladin! However, the trial is not yet over, as Cecil's mirror image emerges from the reflection and attacks him. The image tells him not to fight, so Cecil remains calm in the face of withering darkness attacks. The image then tells Cecil that "Justice is not the only right," and fades away. The trial is completed, and even affected Tellah, who remembers all of the spells he had forgotten in his old age, including the ultimate black magic, Meteor. With Cecil transformed into a Paladin, and Tellah having learned Meteor, the party heads back to Mysidia to speak with the town Elder again.
