Game Script We begin this game in the Red Wings airships. Crew 1: Captain, we will arrive at Baron shortly. Cecil: ...Alright. Crew 1: The captain seems kinda down. Crew 2: After what we did, who wouldn't be? I mean orders are orders, but killing innocent people to get the Crystals...? In Cecil's memory, he thinks about the past of that the crews killed two Black Mages and one White Mage. Cecil took the Water Crystal. The memory ended. Crew 1: It isn't right. The Red Wings are supposed to protect people. We should never- Cecil: That's enough! Crew 1: But, Captain! Crew 2: Surely you don't condone what we've done, Captain? Cecil: All of you, listen well. The raid on Mysidia was imperative. His Majesty and his council concluded that the Mysidians, who know much about the Crystals, posed a serious threat to our kingdom. For Baron to prosper, we need the Crystals. As soldiers of the Royal Air Force, we must achieve this by any means necessary. Crew 1: Captain! Monsters incoming! Cecil: Prepare for battle! Cecil fights 3 FloatEyes. After Cecil defeats them... Crew 2: Ugh! Cecil: Are you alright!? Crew 2: More incoming! Cecil: Dammit! Cecil fights Zuu. After Cecil defeats it... Cecil: Is everyone alright? Crew 1: Yes, sir. Crew 2: So many monsters these days... Where the heck are they coming from? Cecil: What is happening to this world...? Crew 1: Captain, we are now over Baron. Cecil: Prepare for landing. The airships landed near Baron Castle. Later at Baron Castle... Baigan: Ah, the Crystal is now ours, yes? Cecil: The Mysidians put up no resistance. They were so helpless... Baigan: You pity them? Hmph. Come, Captain. His Majesty awaits. On their way to the throne room... Baigan: Forgive me, Captain, but I must speak to His Majesty in private. Please wait here. In the throne room... Baigan: Your Majesty, I'm afraid Cecil can no longer be trusted. He clearly questions your authority. King: I suspected as much. It matters not, so long as I get the Crystals. Send him in. Baigan: Yes, your Majesty. (to Cecil) Captain. His Majesty summons you. King: Baron hails your return. The Crystal, Cecil. Cecil: Yes, Your Majesty. Cecil handed the Water Crystal to Baigan. Baigan showed the king the Crystal. King: So this is the Crystal. What splendor... Dismissed, Cecil. Cecil is about to leave, but turns back and talks to the king. Cecil: Your Majesty! King: !? Baigan: Why, Captain. What is it? Cecil: Your Majesty, forgive me, but what do you intend? The men are confused-some, even displeased. King: And you? You question my command? Cecil: No! I only- King: Silence! Dissension only leads to treason, and that, I will not tolerate. I hereby relieve you of command of the Red Wings. Cecil: Your Majesty! The king's soldiers blocked Cecil's way and tries to push him out of the throne room. King: Now, I charge you with another duty. Slay the phantom beast that infests the Mist Valley, and deliver the Bomb Ring to the village Mist. You leave tomorrow, at first light. Suddenly, Kain came in to the throne room. Kain: Your Majesty, I beg you to reconsider. Cecil has done no wrong. King: You insolent cur! How dare you barge in here!? If you're so concerned about him, by all means, accompany him! Now, take the ring and begone! Cecil: Your Majesty! Cecil received the BombRing. Cecil: Your Majesty! Cecil and Kain got pushed out of the throne room. Cecil: I'm sorry, Kain. Kain: Don't worry. After we finish this task, you'll be flying again in no time. Cecil: ... Kain: Get some rest. Leave tomorrow's preparations to me. Cecil's on his way to his room. Then... Rosa: Cecil! Rosa appeared to talk to Cecil. Rosa: Thank goodness you're alright. I was so worried. You and your men left on such short notice. Cecil: We're okay... I wish I could say the same for the Mysidians... Rosa: Cecil! I'll visit you later, okay? Cecil: Alright... Rosa left. On his way, Cecil encounters Cid. Cid: Well, well, well. Look who's back. Rosa was mighty worried about you. I told you before, and I'll tell you again. If you EVER make her cry, I'm gonna-I...I'm not gonna let you ride my airships. So, how are my babies doin'? I'll bet you and your grunts crashed them again, huh? What's the matter with you, boy? Cecil: Well... Cid: WHAT!? The king demoted you to an errand boy!? What about my Red Wings!? They'll be a mess without you! What's come over the king? Maybe I should think twice about workin' on the new prototype he's been hounding me to finish. Hell if I'm gonna let him use my beloved airships as killin' machines! Cecil, you and me, we gotta stick together on this. Now, you go complete your mission and get back safe, you hear? Whoa, I've gotta get home, or my daughter's gonna kill me. Cid left. Cecil proceeds to his room and sleeps. Cecil talks to himself... Cecil: What's happened to the king? He covets the Crystals as though he's possessed...and he'll resort to any means to get them. Nevertheless, I can't defy him. How could I cross the man who raised Kain and me like his very own? The chivalrous knight whom I've adored and admired since childhood? I will not betray him. I can't. Rosa appeared. Rosa: Cecil! What's going on? You just returned from Mysidia, and now you must leave again to battle this phantom beast. Cecil: Don't worry. Rosa: Cecil, look at me. Cecil: In Mysidia, we killed innocent people to steal their... It was horrible. I guess it's my fate as a dark knight. Soon, I won't even feel any remorse for my actions. Rosa: You and I both know that would never happen. Cecil: Still, I can't defy the king... I'm a hopeless coward. Rosa: The Cecil I know would never whimper like this! The Cecil I love... You leave for Mist early tomorrow, right? Cecil: Don't worry. Kain's coming, too. I'll be fine. Trust me. Rosa: Please come back safe, okay? Rosa left. Cecil: Thanks, Rosa... The next morning... Kain: So, are you ready for some real combat? Cecil: Always. Kain: Lead the way. Cecil and Kain leaves Baron Castle. The following message appears. "And so, the dark knight Cecil was stripped of his command as captain of the Red Wings. He and the master dragoon Kain head toward the dark valley for the village Mist. The advent of the airship marked the realization of Baron's dreams, but also the birth of its militarism. With its Royal Air Force "Red Wings," Baron soon reigned supreme. Now, as monsters multiply and stir unrest, Baron only exploits its power to collect the world's Crystals. Why? The Crystal shed their light silently..." Cecil and Kain proceed to the Mist Cave. In there and on their way out... ???: KNIGHTS OF BARON. Kain: Who are you!? ???: LEAVE NOW AND NO HARM WILL BEFALL YOU. Kain: Confident bastard, aren't you? ???: YOU REFUSE? Cecil: Yes. We have to go to Mist Village. We're not going back. ???: SO BE IT. Kain: The mist is gathering! Cecil and Kain fights Mist Dragon. After defeating it, they move on to The Village of Mist. And then... Cecil: The ring's glowing! Suddenly, Bombs came out of the BombRing and burned the whole village. Kain: My god! Cecil: ...This is it? This is why he sent us!? Kain: The entire village in flames... Cecil: WHY!!! Girl: Nooo! Mommy! Cecil: !? Girl: My mom's dragon died, so my mom also... Cecil: What!? Kain: People with the power to summon monsters-the summoners... They really exist. Cecil: Then...her mother died because we killed the dragon. Girl: You killed my mom's dragon!? Cecil: We didn't know. I'm...I'm sorry. Kain: So this is the king's wish...to annihilate every summoner in this village. ...I'm afraid we have to take care of her, too. Cecil: WHAT!? Kain: I know, but it's the king's orders. Cecil: Kain! She's just a child! Kain: You intend to defy the king? Cecil: I refuse to continue this slaughter in the king's name! Kain: Damn... I was afraid you'd say that. Well, I can't kill you, so I might as well join you. Cecil: Kain. Kain: I owe the king so much, but I can't disgrace the dragoons. Not on my life. Cecil: I guess we're both traitors hereon. Kain: Opposing the mightiest kingdom in the land... We'll need allies to survive. We have to rescue Rosa somehow, too. Cecil: Thanks, Kain. Kain: Save it. I'm not doing it for you. Cecil: ... Kain: We'd better get going. What should we do about that girl? Cecil: We can't leave her. (to the girl) It's alright. We're not going to hurt you. Come with us, okay? Girl: No! Kain: Come on! We have to go now! Girl: No! Stay away!! Cecil: Wait! Girl: I hate you!! You killed my mom!! Cecil and Kain fight the girl. The girl then summons Titan and attacks Cecil and Kain. There was a massive earthquake. After the earthquake, Cecil wakes up with just the girl unconscious. Cecil: She's safe. Thank goodness. !! Kain? Kain! I hope he's safe... I have to get her out of here. Cecil carries the girl to Kaipo. In Kaipo... Cecil: I have to find her a place to rest. In the inn... Innkeeper: Welcome. Oh, is she hurt!? Take her inside! No charge, just go ahead! Cecil: Thank you. Cecil puts the girl on the bed. Cecil: Hey. Are you okay? Girl: ... Cecil: My name is Cecil. What's yours? Girl: ... Cecil: ...I'm sorry about your mom. I understand if you can't forgive me. Will you at least let me protect you? Girl: ... Cecil and the girl go to sleep. Suddenly, during the middle of the night, the general and the soldiers from Baron Castle came in. General: Cecil! Finally, I've found you. Girl: ! Cecil: Wait! The king- General: I am here on the king's orders. All summoners of Mist must be annihilated. Now hand over the girl. Girl: !! Cecil: No. General: (to his soldiers) Kill him. Cecil fights the General and 3 Soldiers. After Cecil defeats them... Girl: Are you okay? Cecil: Yeah. Don't worry. I won't let anyone hurt you. Girl: You promise? Cecil: I promise. Girl: ...I'm Rydia. Cecil: Rydia... The next morning, Cecil and Rydia exit the inn. Cecil then went to one of the house and saw Rosa suffering from the desert fever. Rosa kept muttering Cecil's name. Cecil and Rydia then proceed to the Water Cavern. In there they talk to an old man. Old Man: Could that be...the dark sword-indeed! Dark knight, I need your assistance! Cecil: What's wrong? Old Man: I must get to Damcyan to reclaim my daughter, who was deceived by a WICKED BARD!! We must hurry, for I sense an ill omen! Cecil: You must be the sage Tellah. Tellah: Indeed I am. That girl! She is a summoner! Perfect! She can help, too! A giant monster lurks in the underground lake ahead. The devil even withstands my magic. Together, I think we can defeat it, and then I can finally be on my way! Cecil: We're heading to Damcyan as well. Tellah: Then let us hurry! Cecil's group moves on. They later stop at a magic field. Tellah: We'll rest here. This magic field repels all monsters. You can Save and use a Tent or a Cabin in here. Let's rest in my Tent and prepare for the coming battle. Later during the campfire... Tellah: Fast asleep. She must have been very tired. Where is her home? Cecil: Mist Village. Tellah: She seems very gifted. With proper training, she'll be able to master any spells. Look at her. She looks so adorable...reminds of Anna, years ago. Cecil: Anna is... Tellah: My only daughter. She eloped with a bard to Damcyan, because I didn't consent to their union. What business have you in Damcyan? Cecil: A friend of mine suffers from desert fever. Tellah: You need the Sand Ruby. Acquiring it won't be easy. Cecil: Tell me more about this monster we must face. Tellah: A vicious creature with eight huge tentacles. We must kill it quickly and reach Damcyan before it's too late. Cecil: Too late for what? Tellah: I don't know. I only pray my instincts are wrong... Cecil's group moves on. Later near the Waterfall... Tellah: He's down there! Later after the waterfall, Cecil's group approaches the tentacle. Tellah: There he is! WATCH OUT! Cecil's group fights Octomamm. After defeating it... Tellah: Come now! Damcyan is beyond this waterfall! Cecil's group moves on and out of the cave. Then outside, they suddenly saw the Red Wings airships destroying Damcyan. Cecil's group immediately rushed into Damcyan. In there, Cecil's group saw the body of Anna on the ground. Tellah: !? Anna!! A bard then arrived. Tellah: You! You're that bard!! Tellah fights the Bard. After the first attack... Tellah: YOU SPOONY BARD! Bard: No! Wait! Tellah attacks the Bard the second time. Tellah: DIE! Bard: P-Please! Listen! Tellah attacks the Bard the third time. Tellah: SHUT UP! Bard: Forgive me! Please! Tellah attacks the Bard the fourth time. Tellah: Take this!! Bard: Aaagh! Anna: Father! Stop! The fight stopped. Tellah: Anna! Anna: Father, Edward is...the prince of Damcyan. Forgive me, Father, for running away...but I love Edward. Still, I knew I couldn't find happiness...without your consent. I was going to come home, but... Edward: Baron's Red Wings, led by Golbez, blitzed us. Cecil: I've never heard of Golbez. Who is he? Edward: I don't know. His powers were beyond words. Cecil: But why did they attack Damcyan? Edward: They wanted the Crystal, and they spared no one to get it. My mother, my father... Anna shielded me from their arrows... Tellah: You love him that much...? Anna: (dying) Father...forgive me. Edward...I love you... Anna died. Edward: Anna!! Tellah: Anna!? Anna!! (extremely angry) Golbez is dead!! DEAD!! Edward: Anna! Anna, open your eyes. Anna, please! Don't leave me! Tellah: SHUT UP! Crying won't bring her back!! Cecil: Tellah, wait! Tellah knocked Cecil out of his way. Tellah: I will kill Golbez! I don't need you! I don't need anyone!! Tellah left the group. Edward: (crying) Anna!!! Rydia: Stop crying! You're a grown-up! Grown-ups don't cry! I lost my mom...but I'm not gonna cry anymore. Cecil: Rydia... Edward: I don't care. Leave me alone! I'm staying here with Anna. I will never leave her side. Cecil knocked Edward in the head. Cecil: That's enough! You're now the rightful ruler of Damcyan, so start acting like it! You owe it to your people, and most of all, you owe it to Anna. King of Damcyan, my name is Cecil, and I need your help. Edward: Huh? Cecil: My friend is suffering from desert fever in Kaipo. I need to get the Sand Ruby to save her. Can you help me? Edward: ...What is her name? Cecil: Rosa. Edward: Rosa...she is very dear to you, yes? Like Anna was to me... You can find the Sand Ruby in the Antlion Cave, which lies to the east. The ruby forms from the fluid that the antlion secretes when it lays eggs. We must cross the shallows with our hovercraft to reach the cave. After we acquire the Sand Ruby, we can cross the shallows to reach Kaipo. Let's get going. Cecil: Thank you. Edward: Oh, and please don't call me a "king." Cecil's group moves on. Edward went back and said one last thing to Anna's dead body... Edward: Goodbye, Anna... Cecil's group pilots the hovercraft to the Antlion Cave. Inside the Antlion Cave... Edward: This is where then antlion lays its eggs. The Antlion appeared. Rydia: AAAH! Edward: It's okay. Antlions are quite tame. They don't attack people. Here, I'll demonstrate by getting the Sand Ruby. Edward tried to take the Sand Ruby, but the Antlion attacked. Edward: Uwaah! Cecil: Let's go, Rydia! Rydia: Yeah. Let's get him. Cecil's group fights Antlion. After defeating it, they received the Sand Ruby. Edward: How could this happen? They've always been so harmless. Cecil: Monsters are rapidly multiplying these days, and their behavior is changing as well. I just don't know why... Rydia: Come on! Let's go help Rosa! Cecil: Yeah. Cecil's group pilots the hovercraft to Kaipo. In there, Cecil's group goes to the room where the ailing Rosa is. Cecil: Rosa! Cecil used the Sand Ruby on Rosa. After that... Rosa: ...Oh. Cecil. You're alive! Cecil: How do you feel? Rosa: I'm fine. I thought I had lost you. Weren't you in Mist when the earthquake struck? Cecil: Yeah. I'm sorry I worried you... Rosa, who is Golbez? Rosa: He's the new captain of the Red Wings, appointed by the king himself. The king has not been himself lately. I believe Golbez is manipulating him to collect the Crystals for himself. With Mysidia's Water Crystal in hand, he'll surely go after the other three-the Fire Crystal of Damcyan, the Wind Crystal of Fabul, and the Earth Crystal of Troia. Edward: The Fire Crystal has already fallen into his hands. Cecil: Edward is the prince of Damcyan. And Rydia is a summoner of Mist. I couldn't have forgotten the Sand Ruby to cure your fever without their help. Rydia: Hi. Rosa: Hello, Rydia. Thank you both so much. Cecil, after Damcyan, their next target must be Fabul. We must-ugh! Cecil: You have to rest now. Don't worry. We'll go to Fabul. Edward: But to reach Fabul, we must traverse Mt. Hobs, and the trail is blocked by thick ice. Rosa: Rydia, can you cast Fire? Rydia: ...No. Rosa: Fire is the most elementary of black magic spells. As a summoner, I'm sure you can-ugh! Cecil: Rosa, stop! You're definitely not coming with us... Not in this condition. Rosa: I'll be alright, really. As a white mage, I promise I won't be a burden. Edward: Cecil...Rosa only wishes to be with you. Cecil: ...Alright. We'll go together. Make sure you get a lot of rest tonight. Rosa: Cecil... Thank you. That night, Edward goes out and walks towards the river. Edward: ... Edward plays his harp. Edward: Anna, I miss you so much. Suddenly, the enemy appeared. Edward: Uwaah! Edward fights WaterHag. The spirit form of Anna appeared. Anna: Edward. Edward: A-Anna! Anna: You must fight, Edward. Believe in yourself. Edward: Anna... Edward defeats WaterHag. After that... Edward: Anna! This can't be true! This is a dream. Anna: Yes, it is, and now you must go on. Goodbye, Edward. Edward: NO! Don't go! I love you! Please, Anna! Don't go! Anna: You must not let Golbez have the Crystals. Fight for your people, Edward, and give them the same love you shared with me. Anna's spirit disappeared. Edward: Anna... I'll fight. I'll fight for you! But what am I to do without... I don't know. The next morning, Cecil's group proceeds to Mt. Hobs. Rosa: Rydia, can you try chanting the Fire spell? Rydia: ... Edward: Rydia, what is the matter? Rosa: Give it a try. I know you can do it. Rydia: ...No. Rosa: ? Rydia: I...I hate fire. Cecil: That's right... Her village was destroyed by fire when... Rosa: Rydia... You're the only one who can melt this ice. Rydia: ... Rosa: If we can't get through here to Fabul, more people will be in danger. Please, Rydia. Edward: Rydia, you've helped me. You've helped Cecil and Rosa. You have the power to help many more people. Cecil: ... Rydia: ... ... ... Fire! Rydia cast Fire and melted the ice blocking the way to Mt. Hobs. Edward: Rydia, you're incredible! Rydia: Tee hee. Rosa: I knew you could do it! Cecil: Thank you, Rydia. Cecil's group moves on. They later saw a monk surrounded by the enemies. Cecil: What's going on? Edward: That garb... He's one of Fabul's monks. I'm sure of it. Monk: Kiai! The monk defeats two enemies and then takes out three more enemies. After that, the enemy leader came to fight. Edward: Good grief! A BOMB! Rydia: Let's help him! Cecil's group fights Mom Bomb. After defeating it... Monk: You have my gratitude. Yang is my name. I am the high monk of Fabul. I came here to train with my men. Now they are all dead-killed by a swarm of beasts. And they were Fabul's finest. Cecil: My name is Cecil. We bring urgent news to Fabul. Rosa: A villain named Golbez abuses Baron's authority to seize the world's Crystals. Yang: Then he covets out Wind Crystal as well. Edward: There is no doubt. He easily seized Damcyan's Crystal a few days ago. Yang: ...The odds are against us. The only monks left in the castle are students. They stand little chance against Baron's forces. Rosa: Golbez must've sent the monsters that wiped out your men. Yang: ...Then the attack is imminent. I must go. Cecil: We will follow you to Fabul. We would like to help. Yang: I am grateful; however, this does not concern you. Cecil: But it does. Edward: I am the prince of Damcyan. Cecil: Rosa and I are citizens of Baron, and this girl is one of many victims of our kingdom's recent attacks...which I have personally led. Rydia: ... Yang: I see... I humbly accept your assistance. Cecil: Let's go. We haven't much time. Yang: Fabul lies to the east of these mountains. Cecil's group proceeds to Fabul. In the throne room... King: Yang, at last. Yang: Sire, we must prepare for battle. Baron will attack us any second to steal our Crystal. King: How do you know this? Yang: These two are citizens of Baron. They came to warn us. King: And these others? Cecil: Sir, we haven't much time. The castle's defense must be tightened immediately. King: Yang, can we trust this dark knight and his companions? Yang: Yes. They risked their lives to help me. Edward: I'm honored to see you again. King: Prince Edward! Edward: Sire, Baron's fleet decimated Damcyan and claimed our Crystal not long ago. Many died, including my parents...And my beloved. Damcyan's tragedy must not be repeated! King: Forgive me for my suspicions. Yang, mobilize the men for battle. Prince Edward, dark knight, will you help us defend Fabul? Cecil: Yes. Yang: They have already offered to help, sire. We will join the forward guards by the main gate. King: Very well. Will the ladies assist our medic? Rosa: Yes, sire. King: Fabul's fate rests in your hands. May we be victorious. Yang: We will assemble at the main gate. Rosa: Cecil! Cecil: Rydia, take care of Rosa for me. Cecil's group prepares for battle. Soldier: THEY'RE COMING! Yang: Attack! Cecil's group fights the first sets of enemies. After defeating them... Soldier: RED WINGS! The Red Wings attacked Fabul. Cecil: We can't hold them! Yang: Retreat! Inside Fabul... Yang: We are severely outnumbered. I regret involving you all. Cecil: This is our war, too...and it's far from over. Edward: They're coming!! Cecil's group fights the second sets of enemies. After defeating them... Yang: Fall back! In the next room... Cecil: The king is behind us. We must hold them here. Yang: He has already retreated. We can withdraw into the throne room if the need arises. More enemies appear. Yang: Crush them! Cecil's group fights the third sets of enemies. After defeating them... Edward: Let's get out of here! Yang: ! In the throne room... Yang: The door has been locked. We must hold this ground. The Crystal is in the next chamber. The soldier then unlocked the door. Edward: OH MY GOSH! Yang: You fool! What are you doing!? Edward: H-He's one of them! Cecil's group fights the soldier that was transformed into one of Baron's enemy. After defeating it, they fight the fourth sets of enemies. After defeating them... Yang: This is endless. Withdraw to the Crystal Room. When Cecil's group is about to move to the Crystal Room, Edward tripped and fell to the ground. Edward: Uwaah! Cecil: Edward! Cecil's group fights the fifth sets of enemies. After defeating them, Cecil's group proceeds to the Crystal Room. Then Kain came in. Kain: It's been a while. Cecil: Kain! You're alive! We'll talk later. For now, fight with us. Kain: Of course. Three-on-one or one-on-one, your choice. Cecil: Wh...? Kain: One-on-one it is. Cecil: Kain! Wait!! Kain: En garde! Cecil fights Kain, but Cecil was KO'd by Kain. After that... Kain: Have you any final words? Cecil: Kain...you're under Golbez's spell... Kain: Alright. Time to put you out of your misery. Yang: Stop! Rosa: NO! Rosa and Rydia came in. Kain: Rosa! Rosa: Kain, you of all people... Kain: No, I... ???: Befuddled by a woman? You pitiful wretch. It's Golbez. Edward: Golbez! Cecil: So you're Golbez. Golbez: Cecil, I presume? Never hesitate to kill, Kain. Observe. This is how it's done! Edward: Cecil! Golbez: Silence! Golbez lightning attacks Yang and Edward knocking them out. Golbez: Get the Crystal. Kain: Yes, sire. Rosa: Kain, please! Help Cecil! Cecil: Rosa, no! Golbez: (to Cecil) So, you cherish this woman? Then I shall take her with me to raise the stakes. Until next time. Golbez kidnaps Rosa and leaves. Kain took the Crystal. Kain: (to Cecil) You won't be so lucky next time. Kain left. Cecil: Rosa... ... Rydia cast a spell. Rydia: Cure! Rydia cured Cecil, Yang, and Edward. Rydia: Are you okay? Edward: Thanks, Rydia. Yang: The Crystal is gone...I failed. Cecil: Rosa... Rydia: Come on! We have to go help Rosa! Edward: She's right. This is no time to get depressed. We must rescue Rosa and retake the Crystals. Yang: Cecil. It is our turn to assist you. For now, let us heal our wounds. Cecil: Thank you. Cecil's group proceeds to the inn. Innkeeper: Master Yang, please let me know if you need anything. Edward: So, how will we go about the rescue? Cecil: To fight Golbez, we need an airship. But Baron is the only kingdom that has them. Yang: Then we must sneak into Baron and seize one. Cecil: Baron's main force is the Red Wings; its sea power is relatively weak. We might be able to slip in by sea. Yang: I will ask the king for a ship tomorrow morning. If all goes well, we could leave port before noon. Cecil: Thank you, Yang. Yang: Who was that dragoon? Cecil: His name is Kain. He used to be my best friend. I don't know what happened to him... Yang: Perhaps you will have your answer in Baron. The next morning in the king's room... King: I see. I will arrange for a ship right away. Yang, accompany Cecil and help him with the rescue. (to Cecil) Cecil, take this sword. It belonged to a dark knight who came to Fabul many years ago. The sword exudes tremendous force, but it is still a weapon of darkness. Darkness can never prevail over true evil. Cecil receives the Death sword. King: Go to the harbor to the east as soon as you are prepared. A ship shall await you there. Golbez must be stopped. If he acquires all the Crystals, the world will suffer an unprecedented crisis. Cecil's group proceeds to the dock. In there, a ship awaits them. Yang's Wife: Break a leg, hon, and bring back some gifts for a change! (to Cecil) Keep your chin up, Cecil! You'll get her back in no time! Cecil: Thank you. Yang: I trust you will look after everything. Yang's Wife: You bet. Take care. Love ya. Cecil's group proceeds to the ship. Cap'n: Cecil, I reckon. I heard you beat the hell out of those Baron lovelies. Sit back, mate, and enjoy the ride. Anchors aweigh! Crew: Aye-aye, Cap'n! The ship takes off. Yang: What will you do once we arrive at Baron? Cecil: I have to see Cid; he's Baron's chief airship engineer. I'm certain he will help us. Edward: ... Rydia: Why are you shaking? Are you cold? Edward: No. I'm fine. The ships keeps sailing. And then... Cecil: What's going on!? Some creature appeared out of the water. Sailor 1: Shiver me timbers! Sailor 2: Holy mackerel! Sailor 3: The lord of the sea! Sailor 1: Is that really... Cap'n: Leviathan! Leviathan appeared. Cap'n: Change course! Rydia: AAAH! Rydia fell into the water. Yang: Rydia! Yang jumps into the water. Cecil: Rydia!! Yang!! Edward: Uwaah! Edward fell to the ground of the ship. Cecil: Edward! Suddenly, the ship was sucked in by Leviathan. Later at a beach with Cecil alone... Cecil: ... ... Oh... Where am I...? Rydia! Edward! Yang! What happened to them...? Cecil proceeds to the nearest town Mysidia. In there, Cecil talks to the elder who he used to steal the Crystal from. Elder: Knight of Baron... What do you want this time? Cecil: My name is Cecil. ...I can't begin to ask you to forgive me for what I've done. Elder: Apologies will not bring the dead back to life. Cecil: ... Elder: So...you have mourned and suffered as we have... You are not the mindless killer you once were. What brings you here? Cecil: A sorcerer named Golbez now commands Baron's forces, and took my friend captive. While en route to Baron to rescue her, my companions and I were attacked by Leviathan. I was shipwrecked here, and I don't know what's become of the others. Elder: I sense your trials are just beginning. But while you depend upon the dark sword, you cannot overcome true evil. Moreover, you might be consumed by its darkness someday. If you wish to fight evil with righteousness, go to Mt. Ordeals, which lies to the east of Mysidia. Cecil: But my comrades... Elder: There is a time for everything. First, you must climb Mt. Ordeals and renounce this evil sword for a holy sword. Only then can you receive light and become a holy knight-a paladin. Many have ventured to Ordeals to become a paladin, but none have ever returned. Will you risk your life as well and go to Ordeals? Cecil: Yes. Elder: You face heavy odds by going alone. I will assign two mages to accompany you. Palom! Porom! A girl named Porom came in. Porom: You called for us? Elder: Where is Palom? Porom: Palom! Come out this minute! Palom came out. Palom: Man, I can't believe I'm helping this bastard. Be grateful that Mysidia's prodigy Palom will accompany you! Cecil: ...These are the mages you spoke of? Elder: Yes. Porom and her twin brother, Palom. They are still students, but I am certain they will be of great help. Palom: That'll be a thousand Gil per hour for my services, starting now. Elder: Palom! Consider this a part of your training. Porom: My name is Porom. I'm pleased to meet you, sir. (to Palom) Palom! You must greet him! Palom: S'up, dude. Elder: Now go to Mt. Ordeals. Palom, Porom, do everything in your power to help Cecil. Cecil's group proceeds to Mt. Ordeals. In there, they saw a passage blocked by blazing fire. Porom: Well, what are you waiting for? Palom: Yeah, yeah, keep your hair on. (casting a spell) Ice! The Ice spell Palom cast took out the blazing fires. Palom: Too easy. Porom whacks Palom in the head. Porom: Palom! The elder taught us not to submit to arrogance! (to Cecil) Please forgive him for his antics. Cecil's group moves on. Meanwhile in the Tower of Zot, there are three people there, Golbez, Kain, and Rosa tied to the chair. Golbez: Milon, come forth! Milon appeared. Milon: Milon of Earth, at your command. Golbez: Cecil aspires to too much. He ascends Mt. Ordeals as we speak. I shall clip his wings now. Milon: So he desires to become a paladin... Golbez: Dispose of him beforehand. His dark sword should be all but useless against your undead. Milon: I shall return with his head shortly. Milon disappeared. Golbez: This should be interesting. Kain: Cecil might still prove quite a formidable opponent. Golbez: You dare question my judgment? Kain: No, sire! Golbez: Milon is one of the Four Fiends of Elements. He will not fail. Rosa will bear witness as well. Kain: Sire, please grant me a second chance! Allow me the task of slaying him, instead of Milon! Golbez: Just be grateful I let you live after that blunder. Kain: ... Rosa: Cecil... Later, Cecil's group saw Tellah. Cecil: Tellah! Tellah: Cecil! What brings you here? Wait, you seek Meteo as well? Porom: Meteo!? Palom: Hey! You're Tellah, right!? Porom: Palom, behave yourself! You stand before the Great Sage! (to Tellah) It is an honor to meet you, sir. We came here from Mysidia under the orders of our elder. Palom: Yeah, we're spying- Porom whacked Palom in the head. Porom: Excuse me. As I was saying, we're just serving as guides for Sir Cecil. My name is Porom, and that's- Palom: Palom, Mysidia's most exalted mage! I've heard a lot about you even in my neck of the woods. Tellah: What noisy brats... Cecil, where are Rydia and Edward? Cecil: We were attacked by Leviathan on our way to Baron, and... Tellah: What!? Are they dead? Cecil: ...I'm afraid so. And Rosa was captured by Golbez. Palom: (to Porom) I'll bet that's his girlfriend. Porom: Hush! Cecil: I thought you'd headed straight to Baron to confront Golbez. Tellah: Against the likes of Golbez, my spells still lack power. So I've traveled here to seek the legendary spell, Meteo. I sense a strong aura on this mountain. I believe it holds a secret. Porom: But that spell is much too dangerous! It requires tremendous vitality, and for a man of your age... Forgive me. Tellah: I admit, I am old. But I will make Golbez pay, even if it costs my life! Palom: Geez. Why are adults so pigheaded? Porom: You don't understand because you're still a kid! Now hush! Tellah: Cecil, you have yet to answer me. Why did you come here? Cecil: I came here in hopes of becoming a paladin. I cannot defeat Golbez with the dark sword...and I have longed to renounce this hateful thing. Palom: Who's Golbez? Porom: Don't you know anything? He's the man controlling Baron. Tellah: Not just an ordinary man, but a powerful sorcerer, brimming with evil! So, you've come here to become a paladin? Then, this mountain must hold some secret, just as I suspected. I shall accompany you. Cecil's group moves on. ???: Bshrrr... Porom: Palom, stop that! Palom: What!? I didn't do anything! ???: Bshrrr... Porom: Palom! Palom: It wasn't me! ???: BSHRRR... Tellah: I sense evil nearby. ???: I will enjoy killing you all. Cecil: Who's there!? Show yourself! Milon appeared. Milon: Under Master Golbez's orders, I, Milon of Earth, will deliver you to the gates of hell. But first-my undead hunger for your flesh! Cecil's group fights Milon and 4 Ghasts. After Cecil's group defeats them all, they move on until... Milon: Bshrrr... Fools. My true strength lies in death. Join me in hell! Cecil's group fights Milon Z. After Cecil's group defeats him... Milon: H-How could I possibly lose to...? See you in hell! Milon falls to his death. Cecil's group proceeds to the Tomb of the Paladin. Voice: My son... Cecil: Son...? Inside the tomb... Voice: Through much sorrow have I longed for your coming. I shall now entrust you with my power. By doing so, my pain will only grow. But there is no other way. Cecil touched the holy sword and turned into a paladin. Voice: Break from your past and overcome your darkness. Only then will you receive the holy power. Suddenly, the dark knight came out of the mirror. Tellah: !? Palom: What's goin' on!? Porom: There are two of them! Tellah: Cecil! Palom: Geez! Porom: Look out! Cecil: Stay back! This is my battle, to atone for my wrongs. Cecil fights the Dark Knight. Cecil chose to Parry all that time. Voice: Some fight for law. Some fight for justice. Cecil... What will you fight for? The Dark Knight disappears. Voice: Well done. Now receive my spirit of light, and remember: Golbez must be stopped. Farewell, my son. Cecil: Please, wait! Cecil is now a paladin. Porom: Are you alright? Palom: Dude, look at you! High five! Porom: Palom! Cecil: This feeling... I can't explain it. It seems...so familiar. What was that voice? Tellah: Oh... OH, YES! Porom: Master Tellah? Tellah: My spells! I remember them now!! Tellah remembered all of his spells. Tellah: !? Me... Meteo? That light! Somehow it broke the seal upon Meteo! Tellah has learned Meteo. Porom: My goodness. Palom: Hey, Porom... Porom: Um... Palom: To tell you the truth, we- Tellah: Golbez is doomed!! Huah ha ha! Come Cecil! To Baron! Cecil: ... I still don't understand. That light... It called me "my son"... And why did it mention Golbez? Tellah left the tomb. Palom: Hey, wait up! Palom left the tomb. Porom: Are you ready to go? Cecil: ...Yeah. Cecil's group heads back to Mysidia and visits the elder. Elder: Unbelievable! You've succeeded! Porom: Sir Cecil fought brilliantly. Palom: I'll say. He passed with flying colors. Cecil: What? Elder: Forgive me. I assigned them to spy on you. As it turned out, there was no need for it. Palom, Porom, good work. Palom: Hey, no hard feelings, alright? Porom: I'm sorry. Cecil: It's okay. You did the right thing, considering all I've done. Elder: But now, you are a paladin and... That sword! Where did you get it? Cecil: On Mt. Ordeals. Elder: (looking at Cecil's sword) The inscription on this sword matches a passage from Mysidian legend. Cecil: Legend? The following message appears: "One born of a dragon, bearing darkness and light, shall rise to the heavens over the still land. Bathing the moon in eternal light, he brings a promise to Mother Earth with bounty and grace. Cecil: The light at Ordeals called me "son." What was that light? Elder: I don't know, nor do I know what the legend means. But we Mysidians, for generations, are told to pray for the fulfillment of this legend and to believe in the one with the sacred light. And I believe you just might be the one. Tellah: Enough talk! We must go defeat Golbez! Elder: Tellah? Tellah: It's been a while. Porom: We met him on Mt. Ordeals. Palom: And guess what? The old man learned Meteo. Elder: What!? Meteo, the legendary spell, unsealed? What is happening to this world...? Tellah: I couldn't care less as long as I avenge Anna! Elder: Your daughter Anna? Tellah: Golbez took her life. I swear I'll crush him with my Meteo! Elder: Tellah, you should not fight with hatred. Besides, you are in no condition to use Meteo. Tellah: If I die, so be it! I will kill Golbez at any cost! Elder: ...Still stubborn as a mule, I see. Tellah: And you still have a big mouth! Elder: Nevertheless, with your spells and Cecil's newfound power, you might be able to defeat Golbez. Cecil: In any case, we must return to Baron to commandeer an airship first. Elder: Very well. I will have the Devil's Road opened. As a paladin, I am certain you can safely travel the bedeviled path. Well, I will retire to the Tower of Worship now. Cecil, Tellah, I pray for your success. Cecil: Thank you. Before Cecil and Tellah could leave... Elder: Palom, Porom, return to your studies. Porom: Elder, please allow us to accompany him. Palom: You're the one who told us to help him. Elder: ...You have both overcome the trials of Ordeals to return alive. Perhaps this is your fate. (to Cecil and Tellah) Please look after them. Cecil: But... Palom: Hey, you got a problem? Porom: I'm sure we can still be of assistance. Tellah: They're annoying runts, but we could use their help. Cecil: Alright. I'm counting on you all. Palom: Yeaaah, baby! Porom: Palom, this is not some picnic! Elder: The entrance to the Devil's Road lies on the east side of town. Palom, Porom, train well and return safely. Good luck to you all. Cecil's group proceeds to the Devil's Road. It teleports them to the Town of Baron. Cecil saw Yang at the inn and talks to him. Cecil: Yang! Yang: ? Cecil: It's me, Cecil! Yang: Cecil... Baron's knight turned traitor. Seize him! Guard: Yes, sir! Cecil's group fights 2 Guards. After Cecil's group defeats them... Cecil: Yang! What's wrong!? Yang: You insolent wretch! Cecil's group fights Yang. After Cecil's group KO'd Yang... Yang: Cecil! What just happened? After Leviathan attacked us...I cannot remember anything. Tellah: Obviously, you suffered a slight case of amnesia and were being used by Baron. Cecil: Do you know what happened to Rydia and Edward? Yang: Rydia was swallowed by Leviathan. I don't know what happened to Edward. Cecil: I see. Yang: Where are we? Cecil: Baron. Let's get a room to discuss everything. Cecil's group talks to the innkeeper. Innkeeper: Thanks for taking care of those soldiers. You're more than welcome to spend the night here. Cecil's group proceeds near the bed. Cecil: Yang, this is Tellah. His daughter and Edward- Tellah: My daughter beloved him enough to sacrifice her life for him. Yang: I am sorry for your loss. I am Yang, of Fabul. Palom: Ahem! I am Palom, of Mysidia... Heh heh, pretty good impersonation, huh? Porom: Please don't mind him. I'm his twin sister, Porom. Palom: Hey, that kick really hurt! How could you let him play like that? Porom: Palom! Apologize! Yang: No, he is right. Forgive my actions. Cecil: Well, first things first. We have to find Cid. Tellah: Sneaking into the castle won't be easy. Yang: (saw something) Hm? What is this? Cecil: This is the Baron Key! Of course! They must've given it to you when they gave you command of those guards. With this key, I believe we'll be able to find Cid. Cecil got the Baron Key. The next morning, Cecil's group used the Baron Key and opened the passage to the Waterways of Baron. After Cecil's group arrived at the castle... Baigan: Cecil! Good of you to return. Cecil: Baigan. Baigan: Is something the matter? Cecil: You serve Golbez as well? Baigan: Never! As captain of the Royal Guard, my loyalty lies with Baron. Cecil: Where is Cid? I heard he was confined somewhere in the castle. Baigan: I, too, have attempted to find him, but my men and I were ambushed. Now, I remain the sole survivor. Cecil: Then let us find him together. Baigan: It would be an honor to join you. Cecil's group moves on, but Palom and Porom stops. Cecil: What is it? Palom: Something's wrong. Porom: Yes. I sense danger. A monster? Baigan: What!? Palom: Oh, give me a break. Porom: What shameful acting! Cecil: Baigan, you also betray Baron!? Baigan: Golbez's wishes are Baron's wishes. He granted a wonderful gift to me. Observe! Baigan transform into a monster and Cecil's group fights him. After Cecil's group defeats Baigan... Palom: Scrap metal! Nothin' to it! Cecil: Even Baigan, who seemed so loyal... Cecil's group proceeds to the throne room. Cecil's group talks to the king. King: Cecil!? You ingrate! How dare you renounce the dark sword without my authority!? Cecil: ...How dare YOU renounce your duty to your people, "Your Majesty"! King: Your who? Oh, you must mean the old duffer who refused to surrender this kingdom. Kahaha. I must say I've enjoyed impersonating him. Cecil: What have you done with the king!? King: You'll see him soon enough. Oh, and give my regards to Milon when you see him in hell. That weakling never deserved to be one of the Four Fiends of Elements. Cecil: !? The king transformed into Cagnazzo. King: Behold! I am the Devil of Water, Cagnazzo! Cecil's group fights Cagnazzo. After Cecil's group defeats him... Cid: You swine!! Cid came in. Cid: Lockin' me up in that stink hole! I'm gonna knock your teeth in! ...Eh? Cecil: Cid! Cid: Cecil? Doggone, I thought you croaked! Where's my beloved Rosa!? She ran after you, convinced that you were still alive. Cecil: Golbez took her... Cid: WHAT!? You bumblin' pinhead!! Curse that Golbez! First my airship, and now Rosa! Tellah: Cut your jabber and lead us to your airship! Cid: Who is this old fart? Tellah: You bug-eyed stinker! Cid: Ahh, go get your walker, y'fossil! Porom: Please, this is not the time. Sir, this is the great sage, Master Tellah. Master Yang, the high monk of Fabul. And I'm Porom, from Mysidia. Palom: Oh man, oh man... We've got another geezer aboard. Porom: That repulsive brat is my twin brother, Palom. Palom: Your goody-two-shoes attitude is gettin' old. Yang: Pleased to meet you. Cid: Well, ain't you a mannerly fella. Cecil: Cid, where is your new airship? Cid: Heh heh heh. Where nobody would suspect. Wait 'til you see my beloved! She's my finest work yet! Tellah: How about today!? Before Rosa's killed! Cid: Ahh, go shave your ears! Doggone... Follow me! In the next room... Voice of Cagnazzo: Kahahahaha... You have defeated me...but you have not heard the last of Cagnazzo. Now join me in the nether world! Suddenly, the walls are reacting. Tellah: The walls! The walls are moving closer to Cecil's group. Cid: It's locked! Tellah: Same here! Palom and Porom came up with an idea. Cecil: Palom! Porom! Palom: ...We got no choice. Porom: We would've followed you forever, Cecil. Tellah: What!? Palom: It's been fun, Cecil. Porom: Thank you. Palom: Ready? Porom: Yeah. Cecil: NOOO! Palom & Porom: Stone! Palom and Porom cast Stone, petrifying themselves to stopped the walls from moving in. Cecil: Palom!! Porom!! Tellah: Hold on! Esuna! The spell has no effect, as the twins have become stone of their own will. Tellah: You fools!! I'm an old man; it should have been me! Yang: Forgive me, Palom, Porom. Tellah: I shall avenge you both... Do you hear me!? I shall avenge you!! Cid: Time for some payback! To the Enterprise! Cecil: Why...? Golbez...! Meanwhile in the Tower of Zot... Golbez: He defeated Cagnazzo. His power continues to grow. Kain: Sire, regarding the last Crystal- Golbez: I know. That place remains a problem. Kain: Then, by all means, let's have Cecil get it for us. Golbez: Hmm... Kain: I'm certain he will comply; after all, we have Rosa. We can exchange her for the last Crystal. Golbez: A primitive idea, but it just might work. And I will destroy him at the time of exchange. Kain: I shall go to convey your terms to him. Rosa: Kain! Kain: Rosa, you'll see soon enough that I am superior to Cecil. Later with Cecil's group... Cecil: I never knew about this. Cid: It's been here all along. Cid opened the secret passage to the airship. In the airship... Yang: Amazing... Cid: Ain't she a beauty? Let's go, Enterprise! The airship is in the air. Then... Cid: Battle stations! Time to unleash the power of the Enterprise! Cecil: Wait! Yang: What is that? Tellah: It's a white flag. A red airship came and stopped near Cecil's group's airship. Cecil: Kain! Kain: Heh! That drag suits you well. Cid: Kain! You little maggot! Cecil: Where's Rosa!? Kain: If you want her back, bring me the Earth Crystal. Cecil: The Crystal in Troia? Tellah: You shameless dog! Kain: We'll make the trade once you get the Crystal. Remember, Rosa's life depends on it. Yang: You call yourself a knight!? Cecil: Snap out of it, Kain! Please! Kain: I've said my piece. The red airship left. Yang: Cecil. Cid: That dirty scumbag... Cecil: Cid, set a course northwest...to Troia. Cecil's group pilots the airship to Troia Castle. In there, they saw Edward in bed and Cecil's group talks to him. Cecil: Edward! Edward: Cecil...? You look so different...so radiant. I wish to join you again. Tellah: Hmph! You'll only burden us! Edward: Tellah... I can't begin to ask for your forgiveness. Anna died because of me. Tellah: ... Edward: I can never atone for that. Yang: Edward, think only of your health for now. Edward: Yang... So, we all survived. Where is Rydia? Yang: ... Edward: No!! She didn't!? ...I feel so worthless... Cid: The air's sure gettin' heavy. C'mon, get your hearts up! We can rise above anything with my Enterprise! Edward: You must be Cid, the airship engineer... Wait, that means you now command an airship. (to Cecil) Cecil, whatever became of Rosa!? Cecil: Golbez proposed a trade: Troia's Crystal for Rosa's return. But the Crystal lies in the hands of the Dark Elf. Edward: Dark Elf... Cecil, pray take this. Cecil: What is it? Edward: ...My substitute. Edward gave Cecil's group the Twin Harp. Edward: Cecil, please save Rosa. Cecil's group proceeds to the Chocobo Village and they found a Black Chocobo. Cecil's group rides the Black Chocobo to the Magnetic Cavern. Then, Cecil's group heard a strange noise. Cid: What the hell's causin' this magnetic field!? Equipping anything metallic might tie us down! Yang: Wielding my claws has no effect, it seems. Tellah: Fear not! We stand invincible with my magic! Cecil's group eventually found the Crystal Room. In there... Dark Elf: I comMEND your efFort. But your excurSION ends here. You will nevER get the crysTAL. You canNOT deFEAT me with those weaPONS. Yang: We shall see. Tellah: Let me carry the weight. Cecil's group fights Dark Elf, but Cecil's group were attacked by Dark Elf's brutal magic and they are weakened since they are equipped with non-metallic weapons and armors. Yang: We stand no chance. Cecil: I need my sword. Tellah: Ugh... Cecil: If only I could use my sword... Cecil's group are badly injured. Meanwhile in Troia Castle... Edward: Cecil... Edward got out of bed, but he is in bad shape and fell to the floor. Doctor: Where are you going!? Nurse: You're in no condition to move! Edward: I'm alright. I just want to...get my harp to-ugh! Doctor: Please! Return to your bed! Edward: ...I must help them. The screen switches to Cecil's group. The Twin Harp sounds the melody from Edward's harp. Yang: ...? Tellah: This melody... Cecil: It's Edward! Dark Elf: DAH! What is this torturOUS sound!? The magnetic field is released because of the melody from Edward. Edward: He cannot control the field while I am playing! Now draw your sword! Cecil: Alright! Cecil's group re-equipped themselves with their powerful weapons and armors. Then after that... Dark Elf: You... GAAAH! Cecil's group fights Dark Elf. After the Dark Elf takes enough damage... Dark Elf: Say your prayers! Dark Elf transformed into Dark Dragon. After Cecil's group defeats the Dark Dragon... Dark Elf: This canNOT be! With the crysTAL...my eterNAL life... GaaaAH! Dark Elf disappears. Cecil: Thank you, Edward. Cecil's group takes the Earth Crystal. Then upon exiting the Magnetic Cavern, Cecil's group rides the Black Chocobo back to the Chocobo Village. Then, Cecil's group returned to Troia Castle. Cecil's group talks to the clerics. Cleric: Oh, my goodness! The Earth Crystal, indeed! How the hell'd you...! Three cheers! BANZAI! Voice of Kain: It's about time, Cecil. Cid: Who the hell!? Cecil: Kain! Kain: Bring the Crystal and board your ship. I'll take you to Rosa. Cecil's group boards the airship. Then, the red airship arrived near Cecil's group's airship. Kain: Show me the Crystal. Cecil: (shows Kain the Crystal) Here. Where's Rosa? Kain: In the Tower of Zot. Follow me. The airships proceed to the Tower of Zot. In there... Cecil: Kain! Cid: Come out! Kain: Keep still! First, Master Golbez would like a word. Tellah: Golbez!! Golbez: Well done, Cecil. You have exceeded even my expectations. Tellah: Wretch! Show yourself! Golbez: Rosa stands beside me at the top of this tower. Bring the Crystal here, and we will make the trade. Cecil: She had better be safe. Golbez: You had best hurry... ...before she ends up dead. Cecil's group moves on. Then later... Sandy: Boo! Cindy: Charmed. Mindy: We the Magus sisters welcome you. We serve Valvalis, Devil of Wind. Mindy! Sandy: Sandy. Cindy: Cindy. Thank you for playing and good night. Cecil's group fights the Magus sisters. After Cecil's group defeats them... Sandy: Oh poo! Cindy: The Delta Attack failed! Mindy: Nooo! The Magus sisters disappeared. Cecil's group proceeds to the door where Golbez and Kain awaits... Golbez: Welcome. Tellah: At last! Cecil: Where's Rosa!? Golbez: The Crystal first. Cid: She'd better be alright! Golbez: Hand over the Crystal now or she dies. Cecil: Take it. Cecil gave Golbez the Earth Crystal. Cecil: Alright, where's Rosa? Golbez: Rosa? There is no Rosa. Cecil: What!? Cid: You sick bastard!! Tellah: Return her this minute! Golbez: Ignorant dotard. Have you any idea with whom you are dealing? Tellah: How could I ever forget the monster WHO KILLED MY DAUGHTER!? Vengeance will be mine! Tellah fights Golbez. After casting couple of spells on Golbez which has no effect... Golbez: Such feeble spells. A vain attempt at revenge. After Tellah cast two more spells on Golbez... Tellah: I must cast Meteo. Cecil: No!! Yang: It will destroy you! Tellah: I have no choice. Witness my final power! Tellah cast Meteo on Golbez. Golbez: I-Impossible! After the fight, Tellah collapsed and Kain fell to the ground. Golbez: Ugh...How could he know Meteo...? Cecil: Tellah! Golbez: It matters not. I have the Crystal. Kain. Kain: ... Golbez: The Meteo broke my spell over him. So be it; he no longer serves any purpose. (to Cecil) Mark me, Cecil. Someday I will destroy you. Cecil: !! Golbez: Impudent fool! Golbez attacked Cecil with lightning. Cecil fell to the ground. Golbez: ...!? Cecil: Ugh... I can't... Golbez: You... Cecil: ? Golbez: What is going-aagh! Cecil: !? Golbez: Next time, for certain. Golbez got away. Cecil gets up. Yang: Cecil. Cid: Y'alright there? Cecil: Yeah... Meteo must have weakened him. Tellah! Tellah: ...I failed... Cid: Keep still! Tellah: I'm such a fool... I lost myself...in hatred. Avenge my daughter...for me...I beg you... Tellah stopped breathing and died. Cecil: Tellah! Yang: !! Tellah: (dead) ... Cid: Get up, you old... Tellah: (dead) ... Yang: ... Cid: ...I'll bet yer daughter's showerin' you with praises right now. Cecil: Tellah, Anna... On my life...we will avenge you! Cecil's group talks to Kain who is lying on the ground. Cecil: Kain! Kain! Kain: Cecil... I... I don't know what to- Cecil: It wasn't your fault. You were hypnotized. Kain: But...I retained my consciousness. Rosa... I can't believe I... Cecil: !! Where is she!? Kain: Beyond these doors! We must hurry! In the room where Rosa is tied up to... Rosa: Cecil! Cecil released Rosa in time before the blade landed on the seat. Cecil: Rosa... Rosa: I knew you'd come. Cecil and Rosa embrace. Cecil: I missed you...so much. And I realized... I... Kain: ... Cid: "I," what!? Spit it out! Rosa: Kain!? Cecil: He's okay now. Tellah's Meteo broke Golbez's spell. Kain: But I was still aware. Yet... Rosa...I wanted to keep you close at any cost! Rosa: Kain... Kain: ... Cecil: ... Rosa: Let's fight together, Kain. Kain: After all that I've done... It's too late. Cecil: ... Cid: Oy! Save the corny drama for later! We gotta scram! Cecil: Let's go, Kain. Kain: ... Cecil: We need your help more than ever now. Kain: Cecil... Rosa... Thank you. Cecil's group moves on. And then... ???: Ahahahahaha... It seems Master Golbez has underestimated you. Kain: The Devil of Wind, Valvalis! Valvalis: You disappoint me, Kain. Submitting to a weak imbecile, despite all your powers. Kain: I've simply come to my senses. I've grown sick of siding with freaks like you! Valvalis: You snotty little wretch. I'll enjoy killing you all. With the old man and his Meteo gone, you have no chance. Kain: You forget. Fighting in the air is my specialty, too. Cecil's group fights Valvalis. After Cecil's group defeats Valvalis... Valvalis: It's not over... The Last Devil of Elements still remains! Regardless, you'll never leave here alive! Ahahahahaha... Suddenly, the Tower of Zot is collapsing and shaking. Cecil: It's collapsing! Kain: Dammit! Cid: That bleeping broad! Rosa: Hold on to me! (cast a spell) Exit! Rosa cast Exit and Cecil's group teleported to Baron Castle. In Cecil's room... Cecil: What the... Is this...? Rosa: Yes, it's your room in Baron. Cid: Well, I'll be jiggered! Kain: Cecil, we still have our work cut out for us. Cid: Is this about the Crystals? Kain: Yeah. Cecil: We've lost Troia's Earth Crystal to Golbez, which means he now holds all the Crystals. Kain: Not quite. He only has four. Rosa: You mean there are more? Cid: Of course! So, the legends are true after all! Kain: Right... The Dark Crystals. Cid: Alright, listen up. The Crystals of this world are those of light- of the "surface," so to speak. Cecil: So, there's a whole set of Dark Crystals as well. Kain: Exactly. So you see, he only has half of the Crystals. Cid: Well, we now know they exist, but where the hell do we find 'em? Kain: They lie under the surface of the earth...in the underworld. Cid: Underground!? You sure about this? Kain: I overheard Golbez. He also said that when all of the Crystals of light and darkness are gathered, the path to the moon will open. Cecil: Literally, a path to the moon? Kain: I don't know. But this item's the key to unlocking it, supposedly. Cecil's group got the Magma. Kain: You're supposed to use it somewhere to open the path to the underworld. Yang: Where, exactly? Kain: I wish I knew. Cid: Ah, no worries. We'll just fly around the world on the Enterprise 'til we find somethin'. Cecil: But we lost the airship near the tower. Cid: My beloved's equipped with auto-pilot. I'll bet she's flown back here already. Rosa: Cid, what would we do without you? Cid: Heh heh. Alright, let's rest up for our journey to the underworld. Cecil: I still don't understand. What stopped Golbez from finishing me off at the tower? Rosa: Cecil? Cecil: Never mind. Let's get some rest. The next morning, Cecil's group pilots the airship to Agart. In there, Cecil's group dropped the Magma in the well. Cecil: What's going on!? Suddenly, the nearby mountain formed an opening. Cecil's group pilots the airship and enters the hole on the mountain. In the Underworld... Cecil: !? Kain: The Red Wings! The tanks and airships start attacking Cecil's group's airship. Yang: They have beaten us here. Cecil: Who are they fighting? Cid: I'm gonna bust through the line! Hang on! Cecil's group's airship got hit by the attacks of the Red Wings. Cid: She's falling apart!! Cecil: We're going down! After Cecil's group's airship landed to the ground... Rosa: Cecil! Cecil: Rosa! Is everyone alright? Cid: Yeah, but my baby took a helluva beating. She might go down any minute. Cecil: Let's set her down. Cecil's group gets off the airship and enters Dwarven Castle. In there, they speak to the king. King: Rally-ho. King Giott, ruler of the underworld. Cecil: Thank you for welcoming us. My name is Cecil. Giott: State your business. Cecil: We've come in search of the Dark Crystals. Giott: Like the others. But not on the same side. Kain: Where are the Dark Crystals? Have they been taken? Giott: They took two. Only two remain. Yang: One step too late. Giott: The castle's Crystal is still safe. Our tanks fought them off. Rosa: Yes, we saw your tanks fighting against the airships on our way here. Giott: Air-ships? The overworld makes incredible things... Hard battle for our tanks. Can you help us-with your air-ships? Cid: We need to repair her first. The bombardment really busted her good. Giott: We can help fix. Cid: Ahh, she won't last in the heat of all this lava anyway. For now, I'm gonna make temporary fixes, then fly back up to the surface and gather me some mythril to armor her better. Rosa: Cid! Cid: Just button up and relax. I'll be back in a jiffy! Rosa: Be careful, Cid. Cid: Heh heh. You're not fallin' for me are you, Rosa? Cid left. Cecil: King Giott, the Crystal in the castle-where is it? Giott: In the safest place. Hidden behind my throne. Yang: ! Cecil: Yang? Yang: Someone is spying on us. Giott: Come out! Cecil: Perhaps it was your imagination. Yang: I definitely sense a presence ahead. Giott: Open the door! Dwarf: Rally! Cecil's group proceeds to the Crystal room. Then all of a sudden, the door closes. Kain: It's locked! Dolls: Yip-ho-ho! Cecil: ? Rosa: Dolls? Dolls: Guess who? Calbrinas! We're cute! And we're scary! Love to kill! Let's take their heads! Yeah-yeah! Gift for Golbez! Yip-ho-ho! Cecil's group fights 3 Cals and 3 Brinas. After a while, the dolls unite into a giant doll, Calbrina. After Cecil's group defeats Calbrina... Calbrinas: Owww! Big bully! But Golbez now knows! He's gonna getcha- getcha! Golbez! The Calbrinas disappeared. Cecil: !? Golbez: Our path cross again... Golbez appeared. Cecil: Golbez! Golbez: I commend you for finding your way to the underworld. To reward your efforts, I shall tell you why I am collecting the Crystals. The eight Crystals of light and dark are the keys to reactivating the Tower of Babil, which leads to the moon. Legends say the moon possesses power beyond our comprehension. I need only one more Crystal to realize my dream. You have been of great aid to my quest. Now prepare for your final reward! Cecil's group fights Golbez. Cecil's group's first attacks have no effect on Golbez. Golbez: Heh heh heh... Such is your power? I expected more. Golbez cast Hold Gas on Cecil's group, paralyzing them temporarily. Golbez: Open your eyes... ...and taste true terror. Shadow, come forth! Golbez calls Shadow. Shadow cast Demolish KO'ing Yang, Rosa, and Kain. Golbez: Farewell, Cecil. Suddenly, the Mist Dragon attacked Golbez and Shadow. Shadow is defeated. Golbez: Dragon...? Shadow...destroyed by mist? Voice: Y'okay? You can move now. Cecil: That voice... Rydia came in and joined the fight. Cecil and Rydia revived the KO'd members and they all fight together to defeat Golbez. Golbez: Im...possible... After the fight... Cecil: We did it... We've defeated Golbez! Rosa: Rydia...! Cecil: What happened to you? Rydia: Leviathan took me to the Land of Summons. A world where all the summoned monsters live. We became friends during my stay. I learned a lot there. I can't use white magic anymore, but I've grown stronger as a summoner. Time flows differently there, so maybe I've aged faster. Rosa: That explains why you look all grown up. Kain: Cecil, who is she? Cecil: The girl we found in Mist. Yang: Fortune favors us indeed. Cecil: Rydia, we owe you our lives. Thank you. Rydia: You don't have to thank me. The queen of the Land of Summons told me: A great force is secretly at work. We must confront it together. Just when Cecil's group were about to leave... Golbez: I...cannot perish! Golbez transformed into a gauntlet, took the Crystal and disappeared. Cecil: The Crystal! Later in the throne room... Cecil: Forgive me. Golbez has taken the Crystal. Giott: One Crystal left... We must protect. Rosa: Yes. Where can we find it? Giott: In the Sealed Cave to the Southwest, where Golbez is now heading. Worry not. He cannot enter without the key. I have a request. Cecil: Anything. After all, we lost your Crystal to Golbez. Giott: Request you retrieve the seven Crystals at the Tower of Babil. Yang: I presume it will be fortified... Kain: ...by Golbez's forces. It won't be easy. Giott: My plan: Our tanks will distract them. You sneak in. You seize the Crystals. Now or never, before Golbez returns from the Sealed Cave. Kain: What do you think? Rydia: A large force might be waiting. Rosa: It's a risk. Yang: As they say, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Kain: Like Giott said, now might be our only chance. Cecil: Alright. We'll go to the tower to retake the Crystals. Giott: Excellent! Exit is at the bottom of the castle, whenever you are ready. Good luck. Cecil's group proceeds to the exit at the bottom of the castle. Outside, they proceed to the Tower of Babil. In there, they see the doctor. Doctor: Have a safe trip, Master Rubicant. Rubicant: Not to worry. Eblan has been decimated along with its ninjas. Take care of things until I return. The doctor teleported Rubicant to another place. Doctor: Uwee-hee-heee!! Golbez and Rubicant are gone! Time to party! Rydia: What's with him? Rosa: Shh. Doctor: Who's there!? Cecil: ! Doctor: Cecil! How'd you get up here!? Kain: Caught you at a bad time, eh? Your buddy Rubicant's gone. Whatever will you do now? Doctor: GAH, disrespecting me! You nincompoop! Though I'm not one of the Four Fiends, I, Dr. Lugae, am the brains of Golbez's operation! On my honor, I will protect this tower! Kain: That's a laugh! Doctor: I heard enough out of you! My great creation will shut your pie hole soon enough! Cecil's group fights Dr. Lugae and Balnab. After Cecil's group defeats Balnab and wounding Dr. Lugae... Doctor: DANG IT! Okay, time to get serious! Dr. Lugae transform into Lugaborg. Cecil's group successfully defeats him and they take the Tower Key. Doctor: You're too late. The Tower of Babil connects the underworld and the overworld, and Rubicant has already taken all the Crystals to the surface. And my super cannons will blow the dwarves away! I win! I win! Uwee-hee-UGH! Dr. Lugae disappears. Rydia: The dwarves are in danger! Yang: We must stop the cannons! Kain: What are we waiting for? Let's go! Cecil's group proceeds to the Super Cannon. They use the Tower Key and inside... Dark Imp 1: Gah ha ha! Dark Imp 2: Killing dwarves is fun! Cecil: You cowards! Dark Imp 3: What the-How'd you get in here!? Dark Imp 1: Kill them! Cecil's group fights 3 Dark Imps. After Cecil's group were victorious... Dark Imp 1: Urgh... D-Destroy the controls. The Dark Imps destroyed the controls to the Super Cannon. Dark Imp 1: Nothing can stop the cannons now! The Dark Imps disappeared. Cecil: !! Kain: Dammit!! Cecil: Yang! Rosa: What are you doing!? Yang: Leave this to me! Go! Rydia: No! Cecil: It's gonna blow! Yang: GO! Yang forces Cecil's group out of the Super Cannon room. Cecil: Yang!! Yang: Cecil, everyone, I thank you. Kain: Open the door! Rydia: Yang! Rosa: Please don't do this! Yang: Tell my wife... ...I will always be with her. Cecil: Yang!!! Yang: Farewell. The Super Cannon blew up. Cecil: !! Cecil's group moves on and upon exiting Tower of Babil... Voice of Golbez: You never cease to amuse me... Cecil: Golbez! Voice of Golbez: When the cat is away, the mice will play. The game ends now. Suddenly, the bridge is collapsing and Cecil fell off, but just in time, the airship catches Cecil's group in the nick of time. Cid: Whooey! Doesn't get any closer than that! Rosa: Cid! Cid: Where's Yang? Rosa: Cecil: ...He sacrificed himself to save the dwarves. Cid: ...We've lost another good man. And who is she? Cecil: Rydia. She's a summoner of Mist. Suddenly, Cecil's group heard the Red Wings' airship. Cid: Ahh, persistent runts! Cecil's group's airship are being chased by the Red Wings' airship. Kain: Can we shake 'em!? Cid: I don't know. They've definitely upgraded the Red Wings. While being chased... Rydia: They're catching up! Cid: Doggonit! Still being chased... Cid: The engine's not gonna last! Cecil, take over! Rosa: Cid! Cecil: Where are you going!? Cid: Once she flies outta here to the surface, I'm gonna seal the entrance with this bomb! Rosa: Wait! Cid: Oh yeah, return to Baron afterward and talk to my men. Rosa: Cid!! Cid: Take care of Cecil...and tie the knot already! Have a whole mess of kids! Cecil: No! There has to be another way! Rydia: Cid, please don't! Cid: Hey, I'm Uncle Cid to you, lassie! Remember! Head for Baron immediately! Cid jumped off the airship. Cid: Now this is what I call goin' out with a BANG! HEH HEH HEH heh he...h... Cid used the bomb and sealed the entrance to the Underworld. The screen switches to Cecil's group in the airship. Rosa: Cid... Rydia: Why...? Kain: Everyone rushing towards death... Cecil: Let's head to Baron. Cecil's group proceeds to Baron Castle and talks to Cid's men. Cid's Assistant: Hello, Cecil. The boss ordered us to attach this hook to the Enterprise. It won't take long. The assistants attached the hook to the airship. Cid's Assistant: It's done. Now you can hoist and carry the hovercraft. Just fly the Enterprise right over the hovercraft and press the confirm button to load and unload the vehicle. With both vehicles you can go pretty much anywhere now, even the Cave of Eblan by the Tower of Babil. Cecil: There's something I must tell you both. It's about Cid...He's- Cid's Assistant: He's impossible. Yes, we know. With all that crazy energy, I can't imagine he'll ever check out. Please baby-sit him awhile longer. Cecil's group pilots the airship and picks up the hovercraft. They land the hovercraft near the Cave of Eblan and Cecil's group lands the airship. Then they pilot the hovercraft to the Cave of Eblan. In there, they saw a ninja about to fight Rubicant. Man: Rubicant! At last...! Rubicant: Pardon, have we met before? Man: I am Edge, Prince of Eblan! Rubicant: No, I don't recall that name. Edge: It doesn't matter 'cause you're dead! Edge fights Rubicant, when Edge cast Flame on Rubicant... Rubicant: Poor technique. This is how it's done. Rubicant cast Scorch on Edge and Edge is KO'd. After the fight... Edge: Aaagh! Rubicant: I must say I'm quite impressed. Continue your training. I look forward to our next meeting. Rubicant got away. Edge: Come back! Cecil: Are you alright!? Edge: I lost... Damn... Who are you all? Rydia: We're after Rubicant, too. Edge: Stay out of this! He's mine! Kain: Well, you obviously don't know with whom you're dealing. He's one of the Four Fiends of Elements. Edge: Heh, you take me for some sissy prince? I'm the rightful heir to the throne of Eblan, famed for its ninjutsu for generations. So buzz off! I can take care of myself! Rydia: (upset) Stop it! Rydia began to cry. Rydia: Tellah, Yang, Cid... They're all gone... Please. No more... Edge: Hey... Rosa: Rydia... Rydia: Cecil: Rubicant is the strongest Fiend. The odds might be against us, but somehow we must recover the Crystals. Edge: Alright, I'll let you all in on this. I can't bear to see a pretty girl cry. Kain: Heh, he sure talks big for a guy who just got worked. Rosa, give him a hand. Rosa: (casting a spell) Cure! Rosa cast Cure on Edge and Edge is recovered from his wounds. Edge: Sweet! Not one, but two babes in the party. Alright, let's bust in there! Rydia: Gee, I don't know about him... Cecil's group proceeds to the Tower of Babil. They eventually reach the entrance to the Crystal Room. Then, the king and queen appeared. King: Edge... Edge: Father! Mother! Queen: Thank heavens... You're alright... Edge: You're...alive? Queen: Come with us, Edge. King: Yes...we must go now. Edge: Where? Queen: TO HELL! Cecil: !! Cecil's group fights King and Queen Eblan. King: Fools... Burn to ashes! Edge: What's goin' on!? Father! Mother! It's me, Edge! Your son! The king and queen regained consciousness. King: Edge... We are no longer humans... We no longer belong here. Queen: I'm sorry, Edge. Edge: ... King: We must go now. Eblan lies in good hands. Do your best for the people. Edge: Don't go! The king dies. Queen: I love you. Edge: Mother! I love you! The queen dies. Edge: ... Rosa: Edge... Suddenly, Rubicant appeared. Rubicant: Lugae... How dare he...? Edge: Rubicant!! You sick bastard!! Rubicant: It was Lugae who turned your parents into monsters. I am sorry for your loss. Know that my only wish is to fight fair. Edge: To hell with your self-righteous crap! Rubicant: I admire your spirit. But anger never bears true strength, and it blinds you. Edge: Shut up! I'll show you the power of anger! Anger evoked Edge's dormant powers. Edge learned Flood and Blitz spells. Rubicant: Well, this is interesting. Still, nothing can penetrate my Cloak of Flame, not even ice. Cecil's group prepares themselves and then talks to Rubicant. Rubicant: I shall restore you to full strength. Do not disappoint me. Cecil's group fights Rubicant. After Cecil's group defeats Rubicant... Rubicant: Though you are five, you have defeated me as one. I am most impressed. Still, you will never stop Master Golbez. 'Til we meet again... Rubicant disappeared. Edge: ... Father... Mother. You can rest in peace now. ???: Your Highness! The people of Eblan arrived. Edge: Gramps! Gramps: Pray, let us fight with you! Where is that devil Rubicant!? Edge: We got him. It's over. Gramps: Splendid! Splendid, Your Highness! Edge: They helped me out. (to Cecil's group) So, who's this Golbez? Kain: Rubicant's master. He plans to gather the world's Crystals to reach the moon. Edge: Why the moon? Cecil: We don't know exactly. He seeks some great power there. Rydia: We have to stop him. Edge: So he's the mastermind behind all this. I'm going with you. Gramps: But, Your Highness, Eblan needs you. Edge: That can wait! We've gotta stop this guy before it's too late! Gramps: But- Edge: Ahh, stop worrying and go home. I'll be fine. Gramps: Very well... Sirs, ladies, please take care of the prince. All (Eblan's soldiers): Good fortune, Your Highness! Edge: Yeah, yeah. Gramps and the soldiers left. Edge: Okay, let's go bust up Golbez. Rydia: We need to get the Crystals first. Edge: Whatever. Lead the way. Cecil's group proceeds to the Crystal Room. Then... Cecil: It's a trap!! The floor collapsed and Cecil fell to the Underworld level of the tower. Edge: Damn, that hurt! Kain: That was a nasty drop! Cecil's group moves on. They later saw a red airship. Cecil: An enemy airship. Edge: Let's bust outta here with this. Rydia: That's stealing! Edge: Who cares. Cecil's group gets on the airship. Rosa: It could be a trap. Edge: Hey, she's not bad. Let's call her...Falcon! What do you think, Rydia? Rydia: Oh, whatever. Cecil: Let's get going. Edge: Falcon, take us up! The airship cannot fly over the magmas. Cecil's group pilots the airship to Dwarven Castle. In there... Giott: Rally-ho! You recovered the Crystals? Cecil: No, I'm sorry. Giott: Golbez is persistent. Trying to open the Sealed Cave. A matter of time before he succeeds. I want you to get the Crystal before he does. (to Luca) Luca. Luca: Yeah? Giott: Your necklace. Luca: Here. Giott: The key to open the Sealed Cave. Without this necklace, no one can enter. We must protect the last Crystal. Cecil: We'll do our best. Cecil's group got the Necklace. Cecil visits the infirmary and saw Cid in bed. Cid: Oy, where's my food? Cecil: Cid! Rosa: I can't believe it! Kain: How'd you- Cid: Heh heh heh. Edge: Who's this geezer? Cid: Geezer!? Who is this punk kid!? Edge: Watch your mouth windbag! I'm Edge, prince of Eblan! Kain: Don't mind him. He's real slick. Edge: Don't forget handsome, and really skilled! Rydia: Stop provoking him! He's injured! Cid: Heh heh, Rydia's got you whipped, eh, boy? Edge: Shut up! Cid: (to Cecil) So, what of Golbez? Cecil: He still holds all of the Crystals except one. Rosa: We can't go after the last Crystal, since we left the Enterprise on the surface. Kain: We've taken an enemy airship, but it can't fly over magma. Cid: Damn, you're all hopeless without me. Cid gets out of his bed. Dwarf 1: Back to bed! Dwarf 2: Wait 'til you heal! Cid: Ahh, can it and give me a hand! Cid and the dwarves began adding something to the airship that can fly over magma. After that has been done, the screen switches to the infirmary. Cid: Now you can...fly over anything. Rosa: Great! Cid: ... Kain: Cid!? Cid fell asleep. Cid: Zzzz... Rydia: He must be exhausted. Rosa: He's overworked himself. Cecil: Thanks, Cid. Cecil's group proceeds to the airship. First, they stop at the Sylvan Cave and at the house of the Sylphs, they found Yang unconscious. Then they visit the Cave of Summons. They eventually found Land of Summons. There, Rydia asks Asura for assistance. Asura said she wants to test out Cecil's group's strength. After the fight, Asura told Rydia that she could call her anytime for summoning in battle. Then, Rydia talks to Leviathan for assistance. Leviathan wants to test out Cecil's group's strength. After the fight, Leviathan told Rydia that she could call him anytime for summoning on battle. Then after that, Cecil's group pilots the airship to the Sealed Cave. Cecil's group used the Necklace and the sealed door opened. Cecil's group moves on. Eventually, they reached the Crystal Room and Cecil took the Dark Crystal. Then all of a sudden... Cecil: The walls! Rydia: They're moving! Kain: Removing the Crystal must've triggered it! Edge: So much for a smooth exit. Cecil's group fights Evil Wall. After Cecil's group defeats Evil Wall... Rydia: Alright! Edge: Nothin' to it! Cecil's group is on their way out of the Sealed Cave. But then... Cecil: What's going on!? Voice of Golbez: Kain... You belong to me, Kain. Bring me the Crystal. Cecil: Golbez! (to Kain) Kain! Rosa: Get a hold of yourself! Kain: I'm...alright. I'm no longer under his control! Kain is now controlled by Golbez. Cecil: Ugh. Kain took the Dark Crystal. Edge: What the hell!! Rosa: Kain! Voice of Golbez: Now I can restore the Tower of Babil. At last, I shall reach the moon! Cecil: Kain! Wake up! Kain: ... Rosa: Please, Kain! Kain: With all the Crystals in hand, the way to the moon will open. Edge: Stop!! Kain left. Voice of Golbez: Haah ha ha ha ha! Edge: Damn! Cecil: ... Cecil's group pilots the airship to Dwarven Castle. In there, they talk to the king Giott. Giott: Rally-ho! Show me the Crystal! Cecil: Actually... Giott: They have all the Crystals!? Nothing we can do now...unless the Lunar Whale legend comes true. Cecil: Lunar Whale? Giott: A huge ship spoken of in a legend. It says, "One born of a dragon-" Cecil: The Mysidian legend! Giott: You know Mysidia? Cecil: It's the home of the mages in the overworld. Giott: Mysidia really exists! Cecil: I've met the elder of Mysidia, who now prays tirelessly in some tower. Giott: Prays...!? Cecil: ? Giott: Praying for the Lunar Whale, perhaps! You must hurry to Mysidia! Rosa: But the exit is sealed. Edge: We can't use the Tower of Babil, either. Voice of Cid: Then dig your way out. Cecil: Cid! Cid: I'll attach a drill to the Falcon's bow. Rosa: Shouldn't you be in bed? Cid: Ahh, no worries. Edge: Can you really do it? Cid: Piece of cake. Okay! Let's get to work! Cecil's group and Cid are working on attaching a drill to the airship. Suddenly, Cid collapsed after that. Cecil: Cid! In the infirmary... Cecil: Cid. Rosa: You've overworked yourself. Cid: I guess the old windbag needs to step out of the action for awhile. Other than messin' with airships, I'm not much use anymore. Edge: My hat's off to you, old man. You're really something. Rydia: Get well, okay? Cid: Look after Cecil and Rosa. Edge: Don't worry. Just get some rest. Cid: Take care of yourselves, you hear? Rosa: You too. Cid: Alright. Get outta here. Cecil: Thanks for everything. Cecil's group pilots the airship with a drill and they drill out of the Underworld. They land near Mysidia. In there... Elder: We knew you would return. Please join us at the Tower of Worship. The following messages appear on the screen: "One born of a dragon, bearing darkness and light, shall rise to the heavens over the still land. Bathing the moon in eternal light, he brings a promise to Mother Earth with bounty and grace." In the Tower of Worship... Elder: Pray, everyone! Now is the time to make the legend come true. After praying for awhile, they all hear something coming out from the water... Elder: Ohh... Look! Our prayers... They were answered! The Lunar Whale came out of the water. Elder: There is no doubt. The glorious ship... The Lunar Whale! The Lunar Whale landed on the land near Mysidia. Elder: A strange voice addressed me during our prayers. It said, "Come hither to the moon." Someone awaits you on the moon. Cecil: How can we possibly get there? Elder: The Lunar Whale came from the moon. An old Mysidian record revealed that the Crystal inside the ship, not the flight panel, controls navigation between here and the moon. Cecil: I'll see what I can do. Cecil's group pilots the Lunar Whale to the Moon. In the Moon, Cecil's group lands and they proceed to the Crystal Palace. Then... ???: Thank you for coming. The old man magically appeared. Cecil: ...Who are you? Old Man: I am FuSoYa, guardian of the Lunarians. Rosa: Lunarians? FuSoYa: In eons past, a planet between Mars and Jupiter verged on extinction. The survivors escaped by ship to the blue planet. Cecil: The blue planet...? Our home? FuSoYa: Yes, Earth. But because the people of Earth were still evolving, the survivors created another moon, where they now sleep. Edge: So these survivors became Lunarians, and they're still sleeping. FuSoYa: Some were reluctant. One even schemed to destroy life on Earth and usurp the planet. Rydia: My gosh... FuSoYa: I forced him to sleep, but even through long repose, the power of his will continue to grow. That very will has further corrupted evil souls, inciting them to gather the Crystals. Cecil: Golbez being one of them. Edge: So who is this guy? FuSoYa: Zemus. He plans to use the Crystals, our source of energy, to restore the Tower of Babil and bring down the Giant of Babil to annihilate life on Earth. Rosa: Insane... FuSoYa: Such is not the Lunarians' wish. They quietly wait for earthlings to evolve, and long to commune with them one day. Cecil: How did the Lunar Whale come into being? FuSoYa: My brother KluYa made it long ago to go to the blue planet, which he had longed to visit. He introduced the concept of airships and the Devil's Road to your people. Moreover, he fell in love with an earthling. She bore two children. You are one. Cecil: !! I'm... Then that voice at Mt. Ordeals was- FuSoYa: The spirit of your father, no doubt. You resemble KluYa. Cecil: That light...was my father... FuSoYa: KluYa gave you his power to fight Zemus. We must stop him for the sake of our two races. Now let us depart for the Tower of Babil. Edge: The tower's shielded. FuSoYa: I can neutralize the barrier. Come, we have little time. Cecil's group pilots the Lunar Whale back to Earth. Upon landing, there was a vibration going on. Rydia: Aaah! Cecil: The tower!? FuSoYa: We are too late! Edge: What do you mean "too late"!? FuSoYa: The Giant of Babil will come forth! The Giant of Babil appeared and starts attacking. The screen switches to the Lunar Whale. Rydia: Oh gosh! Edge: Dammit!! Rydia: We have to do something! Cecil: What's that!? Suddenly, the attacks to the Giant of Babil are from Cecil's allies in tanks. In the first tank... Giott: Enter the dwarves! We will join you! Fight for Mother Earth! All the Dwarves: Rally-ho! In the second tank... Yang: I will not rest while you brave this crisis. Another attacks are from Cecil's allies in the airships. In the first airships... Cid: Time to steal the show, boys! Full throttle! Apprentices: Aye, aye! In the second airship... Palom: Hey, bro! Whassup! Porom: The elder restored us to normal. Elder: This battle is not yours alone! Everyone must fight for the sake of survival. In the third airship... Edward: All the courage you have taught me, I will put forth! They continue to attack the Giant of Babil. In the Lunar Whale... Cecil: Thank you, all of you... Rosa: The giant is staggering! FuSoYa: Now is our chance to enter the Giant of Babil! Edge: I get it! We get inside and destroy the core! Cecil: (calling from radio communications) Cid! The airship Cid is piloting picks up Cecil's group from the Lunar Whale. In the airship... FuSoYa: (to Cid) Approach its mouth. Cid: Who is he? Cecil: FuSoYa, guardian of the Lunarians. Cid: Lu-what? FuSoYa: Can you or not? Cid: Ahh, keep your beard on. There's nothin' I can't do. FuSoYa: Now! Cid: Hang on! Cid dropped Cecil's group into the Giant of Babil. On their way to the core, Rubicant got in Cecil's way. Rubicant: At last. Valvalis: You cannot stop the Giant of Babil. Cagnazzo: Kahaha... Now it's your turn. Milon: To go to hell! Cecil: The Four Fiends! Milon: Indeed. Cagnazzo: Master Zemus blessed us with a second life. Valvalis: Prepare to die. Rubicant: I shall enjoy fighting you again. As you have taught me, we, too, will fight as one. Now allow me to restore your strength. Rubicant restored Cecil's group's strength. Rubicant: This time we shall prevail. Cecil's group fights Elements. After Cecil's group defeat Elements... Milon: Master Zemus! Milon is gone. Cagnazzo: One last chance! Cagnazzo is gone. Valvalis: Failed again... Valvalis is gone. Rubicant: Farewell, valiants. Rubicant is gone. Cecil's group proceeds to the core. In there... FuSoYa: We have reached the core. Edge: Damn! It's huge! FuSoYa: The defense system repairs the main system. We must destroy it first. Cecil's group fights CPU. After Cecil's group destroys the CPU... Cecil: Alright! Edge: It stopped! Voice of Golbez: YOU WRETCH! Golbez came in. Golbez: You are all DEAD! FuSoYa: You! Golbez: Die! FuSoYa: Have you forgotten who you are!? Golbez: Urgh! Stop!! FuSoYa: You must awaken! FuSoYa cast a wake up spell on Golbez and Golbez came to his sense. Golbez: ...How did I bear all that hatred...? FuSoYa: You have come to. Do you remember your father's name? Golbez: My father... KluYa. Cecil: What!? Rosa: Wait! Edge: You're brothers!? Cecil: ... FuSoYa: You were controlled by Zemus's telepathy. Your Lunarian blood easily fell prey to his influence, and amplified its effects. Edge: (to FuSoYa) You alright? Cecil: I have been cursing...and fighting my own brother...? Golbez: ... Cecil: Then again, Zemus could have chosen me instead... Golbez: No. Zemus chose me because of the evil in my soul, however small it was. Zemus... Cecil: Where are you going!? Golbez: I shall settle this myself. FuSoYa: Wait! Zemus is a Lunarian, of my race. I will accompany you. Golbez: Farewell, Cecil. Cecil looks down. Edge: Aren't you gonna go with him? Rosa: Golbez... He's willing to die. Cecil: ... ...He's my brother. Rydia: Cecil. Cecil: ... Suddenly, the Giant of Babil is shaking and collapsing. Edge: Aw, crap! Rydia: Let's go! Rosa: Cecil! Cecil: ... Edge: Come on! Rydia: But where's the exit!? Voice of Kain: This way! Kain appeared. Rosa: Kain! Edge: What are you doin' here!? Kain: Talk later! Come on! Rosa: Cecil!! Cecil's group evacuates the Giant of Babil immediately. The Giant of Babil is destroyed. In the Lunar Whale... Kain: I've broken free of his control once and for all. Still, I don't expect you all to forgive me. Edge: Forgive you!? The giant was revived because of you! Rosa: Stop it! Kain: ... Rosa: Golbez was being manipulated, too! It's not Kain's fault! Kain: Golbez...too? Rosa: Golbez is Cecil's brother. A Lunarian called Zemus controlled him from the moon. Rydia: FuSoYa helped Golbez remember everything. Now they're going to the moon to fight Zemus. Kain: Golbez is... Cecil's brother... Cecil looks down. Kain: I'm goin to the moon, too-to get even with Zemus. Edge: You'll just end up gettin' hypnotized again. Kain: Pray kill me if that happens. Edge: Then I'll have to go with you. I wanna bust Zemus up anyway. Cecil: Okay... Let's go. Rosa: Cecil. Cecil: Rosa, you and Rydia stay behind. Rosa: What!? Rydia: No! Cecil: I doubt we'll all return safe this time... Rosa: ... Rydia: But- Cecil: Get off! Rosa gets off. Edge: (to Rydia) Now you be a good girl and stay home. Rydia: Idiot! Rydia gets off. Edge: Kain: Cecil. Cecil: Alright, then. Let's go! Cecil's group pilots the Lunar Whale to the Moon. Then, they land. Cecil: Ready? Just when Cecil, Kain, and Edge were about to get out, Rosa came in. Kain: Rosa! Rosa: ... Cecil: We're taking you back. Rosa: No! I'm coming with you! Cecil: ! Rosa: I don't care what happens! As long as I'm with you. Cecil: ... Edge: Aw, what about me? Where's my love? Kain: Come on, Cecil. Cecil: ...Okay. Rosa...no matter what, I will protect you. Cecil and Rosa gave each other a hug. Rydia: Awright! Edge: You! Rydia: I told you before. We have to confront this together. Besides, you'll need my help. Cecil: You're right... Let's go. Cecil's group proceeds to the Crystal Palace. They take the teleporter that takes them to the Lunar Subterrane. They move on and they eventually saw FuSoYa and Golbez. Cecil: Golbez, FuSoYa! Golbez and FuSoYa fight Zemus. After they cast some spells which are less effective on Zemus... FuSoYa: Cast Meteo now! Golbez: Ready! Zemus: Die trying. Golbez and FuSoYa cast W. Meteo on Zemus. Zemus: The body dies. But the spirit lives on... Zemus is defeated. Golbez: It is done... FuSoYa: What waste... A man of such power to be consumed with evil. Edge: Right on! FuSoYa: We meet again. Edge: Shucks! You guys beat me to it. Golbez: Cecil... Cecil looks down. Cecil: ... Rosa: Cecil. Suddenly, Zemus transformed. Zeromus: I am the incarnation of Zemus's enmity... Zeromus, the absolute darkness, the epitome of hate. The attack KO'd Cecil, Kain, Edge, Rosa, and Rydia. FuSoYa: Death only increase Zemus's hatred. Golbez: Zemus...or should In say Zeromus. I shall destroy you once and for all! FuSoYa: Your hatred ends with us! Golbez and FuSoYa fights Zeromus. They tried casting Meteo, but it had no effect on Zeromus. FuSoYa: Meteo is useless! Use the Crystal! Golbez used the Crystal on Zeromus. Zeromus: The Crystal... It is eclipsed...in the hands of darkness. It is no use. Zeromus casts Meteo on FuSoYa and Golbez and they both got KO'd. Zeromus: Agony... Death... The hatred to rage on until all dies. Meanwhile in Mysidia's Tower of Worship... Porom: Elder! Palom: We gotta do something! Elder: It is time. We must pray for them... We must pray for the world. Palom, Porom, we shall send everybody's prayers to Cecil. Yang: Cecil... Edward: Pray show us your courage, once more. Cid: We're all waitin' for you! Apprentices: Please return safe. Giott: Return peace to Mother Earth. Luca: Please stand up! Clerics: You're our last hope. Palom: Come on, bro! Porom: Everyone... Please... Elder: Moon of the heavens. Receive our prayers. The screen switches to Cecil's fallen group. Cecil gets up. Cecil: Brother... Golbez: Cecil... Here... Use this... Cecil got the Crystal from Golbez. Cecil: Zeromus... For all life...and for those who gave their lives... We will not lose! The images of Palom and Porom appear. Palom: You got this, bro! Porom: Please accept this. They gave Cecil's group life. Kain, Edge, Rydia, and Rosa got up. The images of Edward and Tellah appear. Edward: I hope this helps. Tellah: Trust your power. They gave Cecil's group strength. The images of Yang and Cid appear. Yang: Keep your focus! Cid: Come home soon! They gave Cecil's group vitality. The images of FuSoYa and Golbez appear. FuSoYa: You must prevail. Golbez: Brother. With your holy power, trust the Crystal. Zeromus! Show yourself! Cecil's group's final battle is against Zeromus. Cecil used the Crystal on Zeromus. Zeromus reveals himself and Cecil's group finally defeats Zeromus. Zeromus: I will not...perish...so long as evil...dwells in the hearts...of mankind. G...gh... GRRRAAGH! Zeromus is gone. FuSoYa: Well done! Your powers have far exceeded my expectations. Indeed, your race has come far-transcended ours, perhaps. Edge: Yeah, we rule! Kain: Zeromus's last words... What do you think...? Rosa: As long as evil dwells in the hearts... FuSoYa: In every heart, there resides good and evil...just as the Crystals of light and dark exist, just as the overworld and underworld together form the Earth. Against evil will, good will arises; thus did you overcome Zemus. Edge: Ahh, it was nothin'. I was born a hero. Rydia: Could you be more arrogant!? I'm surprised Zemus didn't control you. Edge: Hey, never me. I'm all righteousness. FuSoYa: I must go now and sleep along with my people. And you? Cecil: We are going home. Rosa: Our friends are waiting. FuSoYa: Ah, yes. You are truly blessed with fine companions. I look forward to our next meeting. Golbez: I wish to accompany you. FuSoYa: You? Golbez: I cannot go back-not after what I've done. And I long to know more about the Lunarians, my father's people. FuSoYa: Ah, yes-you are half Lunarian. A long sleep awaits us, mind you. Golbez: I have no qualms. (to Cecil) You called me "brother." Cecil: ... Golbez: I have caused you much pain... I can't expect your forgiveness. FuSoYa: Fare you well. We shall pray for peace on Earth. Come. Golbez: Yes. Rosa: Cecil. Kain: So that's it? Rydia: He's your brother! Cecil looks down. Golbez: Farewell. Edge: Cecil! Cecil is about to say one last thing to Golbez. Cecil: ... Goodbye. ...Brother. Golbez: ... ...Thank you, Cecil. Cecil's group takes the Lunar Whale back to Earth afterwards. Now we see the view of the Sun, Earth and the Moon with these messages: "One born of a dragon, bearing darkness and light, shall rise to the heavens over the still land. Bathing the moon in eternal light, he brings a promise to Mother Earth with bounty and grace. But someday the moon shall depart, seeking its own light. The sons of moon and Earth shall then part, divided by the flow of time." The Lunar Whale goes back to the water near Mysidia. In Mysidia... Elder: Now for today's lesson. Porom: Yes, Elder. Elder: Uh, where is Palom? Porom: Oh, not again! The screen switches to Palom talking to a girl. Palom: Yep, that's when I cast Ice, and bam! Porom found Palom and whacked him in the head. Palom: Oww! Porom: Get back to the house! The elder is angry! In the elder's house... Elder: ...and you expect to become the next Tellah! Transcribe one thousand spells by tonight! Palom: Nooo! Porom: Get to work! The screen switches to Eblan Castle. Gramps: Your Highness, as the heir to the throne you must exercise more prudence! Edge: Stop naggin' me! I know! Gramps blocked Edge's way. Gramps: Then, hereon, you will refrain from courting ladies everyday. Edge: Yeah, yeah. Gramps: Please stop with those lazy answers! Edge: Damn, Rydia...no girl in this world compares to you. Gramps: Your Highness! The screen switches to The Land of the Summons. Leviathan: She has boundless potential. Asura: Yes. I never imagined she would return. Summon Kid: Rydia! The summon kid appeared. Summon Kid: I was wondering: why do I have fangs? I don't like fangs. I wish I were like you. Rydia: Listen to me. Humans and summons look different, but we're the same. Asura: She brings new life to our land. Leviathan: And beauty. Rydia: You and I have the same heart. That's all that matters. The screen switches to Fabul. Yang's Wife: Hon, I don't like this one bit. Yang: Stay calm. You are a queen now. And stop addressing me as "hon." Yang's Wife: All this formality crap's makin' my neck stiff. Yang: Oh, I must go. It is time for training. Students: Kiai! Yang and the students left. Yang's Wife: Hon! Get your butt back here! Ex-King: Now, now. Yang is striving to build a new Fabul. The screen switches to Damcyan. Kids: Hey, Prince! The kids talk to Edward. Kids: Play us the paladin song! Edward: Alright. But first, we have to work. We need to rebuild the castle as soon as possible, right? Kids: Yeah, okay! See you later! The kids ran off. Edward: Anna... Watch over me; I'll bring happiness to my people. Take care of Tellah. The screen switches to Dwarven Castle. Dwarves: Rally-ho! Giott: Begin work! The castle needs much fixing. Dwarf: King, we rally need more steel! Giott: Scrap the tanks! No more wars! No need for them! Luca: Father, have you heard from Cecil? Giott: Good news. Cecil and Rosa will rule Baron, as king and queen. Luca: Really! Giott: We are going to the coronation. Luca: Yay! Dwarf: King, we rally need more tanks. Giott: Scrap the swords and armor! Dwarves: Rally-ho! The screen switches to Mt. Ordeals with Kain without his helmet. Kain: Cecil... Rosa... Forgive me. I can't give you my blessing. I will train here at Ordeals to surpass my father and return someday as a worthy dragoon. Maybe then... The screen switches to Agart. Researcher: Huh!? Corio: What? Researcher: Oh my gosh! The moon! Corio looks at the telescope and saw the moon. The screen switches to Cecil and Rosa in their new room. Cecil: ...! Rosa: What's wrong? Cecil: Nothing... I thought I heard my brother. Rosa: What did he say? Cecil: ...It was just my imagination. Cid came in. Cid: Oy, what the hell's takin' so long!? You're holdin' up the show! Rosa: Sorry. Cid: Save the hanky-panky 'til after the ceremony! Come on, Rosa! Wait, do I have to call you Queen from now on? Rosa: No, please don't. Cid: So I'm still your daddy, right? Well, I can't give the bride away until she puts on some makeup. The maids are waitin' for ya. Rosa: I'll be right down. Cid left. Rosa: Everyone will be here soon. I can't wait to see them. Cecil: Yeah. Rosa left. Cecil: I did hear him... He said... Goodbye... And so, the ceremony begins and all of Cecil's friends came in and celebrated.
