============================================
= 1.01] The Fall of the Kingdom of Arctica =
============================================

{On a snowy night, Arctica Castle is burning. Three knights and their new King
are running away from winged monsters. They ride an elevator.}

King : "I'm exhausted! Can't we slow down?!"

Coldbird : "There's nothing we can do as long as we are in the dark about
           their intentions. Our duty as Fenril Knights is to protect the
           king."

King : "Preposterous! I am the king, now that my brother has fallen! With
        or without a crown..."

Garrett : "...Huh! Then try to get out of here on your own!"

Coldbird : "Stop that, Garrett! We are in the presence of the king!"

{The three monsters catch up with them. However, the knights eliminated them
quickly with their swords.}

King : "Bravo, Fenril Knights! Bravo!"

Ryan : "A surprise attack within the snowstorm... Maybe they're after...?!?!
       Chief Coldbird, maybe the demons are after the cocoon?"

Coldbird: "The cocoon... It's a possibility. Do you think the cocoon is
          worth something, Ryan?"

King : "What?! They came to get my cocoon? No Coldbird! Do not let them
       take it! They'll use it for no good!!"

{Elevator stops. They move on to a room where the cocoon is.}

King : "Good... My cocoon is safe..."

{A female knight enters from a side door.}

Garrett : "Elmina! Your leg..."

Elmina : "Now I'm holding you back? Me, the [Sword Princess]? Was the
         rest of your party..."

Garrett: "Yes..."

{An ax flies from off screen. Ryan moves near it.}

Ryan : "Wha What?!"

{The ax emits a ring of light and disappears with Ryan.}

Coldbird : "Ryan!"

King : *falls to his knees* "Aahhhg!  The knight... with a single
       stroke..."

{A robed demon appears.}

Alhazad: "Nice to meet you. I am the demon, Alhazad."

Elmina : "But the Demon Race is only a legend?!"

Alhazad : "And yet, here I am right in front of you... I don't have much
          time... so let me get to the point. All right?  Will you give me
          that thing you call a cocoon?"

King : *crawling* "Yes!  Yes!  I'll do whatever you want!! You can have
       anything.  Just let me live..."

Coldbird :  *draws his sword* "No, your majesty! You must not do that!"

{The king disappears just like the way Ryan did.}

Alhazad : "I'm sorry... All I can give you in return is a [Painless Death].
          You will have to live with it. Hee hee hee hee!"

Elmina : "You bastard!!"

Coldbird : "Garrett! Elmina! You must escape from Arctica Castle! Let
           everyone in Filgaia knows what has happened here!"

{Coldbird attacks Alhazad while Garrett and Elmina flee.}

{Garrett is treating Elmina's leg in a passageway.}

Garrett : "Damn, our chief is... That bastard probably got the rest of the
          knights too..."

Elmina : "Hey Garrett! You're a bigger coward than I thought..."

Garrett : *stops treating Elmina* "What?! What are you saying?! Me, a
          coward?"

Elmina :  "Yes. You have no [Courage]... You're probably thinking of a way
          to defeat them even now."

Garrett : "Of course! No matter what it takes, I'll kill that thing!"

Elmina : "So, you call throwing your life away [Courage]?  We will not be
         able to defeat them yet. I know it's hard to admit..."

{Elmina notices the wound in his arm. She ties a ribbon on it.}

Elmina : "What a terrible wound..."

Garrett : "It's not as bad as yours."

Elmina : "I won't hear of it! You think that fighting an unbeatable enemy
         is [Courage]? I don't agree with that!"

Garrett: "So, what do you consider [Courage]?"

Elmina :  "Enough chattering. Let's go, Garrett!"

{They start walking. Elmina lags behind.
As Garrett passes by the gate, Elmina closes it from the other side.}

Garrett : "Huh?! What are you doing, Elmina?!"

Elmina : "I can't get away with this wound!"

Garrett : "Open the door, Elmina! You're the one who said wasting your
          life is not [Courage]!"

Elmina : "Funny for me to say, but you gain nothing from war. But Garrett...
         I fight to protect something important to me. I won't gain
         anything, but I will not lose anything... Protecting something
         important is not a waste of life. Garrett... I don't want to lose
         you."

Garrett : "Nor I you... Open the door, Elmina!  I'll fight with you! Open
          the door, Elmina!"

Elmina : "You must tell the world what has happened here... Don't worry...
         I have no intention of dying here.  I am the Sword Princess.
         The ribbon I wrapped around your arm was expensive... I can't die
         until I get that back."

{Alhazad appears next to Elmina.}

Alhazad : "There you are. You were hard to find. You are the last humans
          left in the castle. Are you ready to die?"

{Elmina draws her sword.}

Elmina : "Have [Courage]! Deliver the Fenril spirit to our friends! Run
         Garrett!! You can overcome anything!"

Garrett : "I promise... I will return... your ribbon..."

{Garrett flees.}

Alhazad : "It's a dead end. There's no way out. Hee hee hee hee hee... You
          are noble and beautiful... Can't you see? My body is trembling with
          joy."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Garrett can be seen walking away from the burning Arctica castle. He
collapses along the way, looking up as snow falls from the sky.
Meanwhile, Alhazad returns to the room where he killed the King and finds
Zeikfried facing the cocoon. Heartbeats can be heard from it.}

Several years later...

===========================
= 1.02] A Wandering Youth =
===========================

Life is gradually fading from the land. Slowly, but surely, the destruction of
Filgaia continues. A devastated environment filled with ferocious monsters
plague the people of Filgaia who desperately trying to cling to their land.

Those who dare to venture out are called [Dream Chasers]. There is a boy in the
village of Surf... It's hard to believe that this boy has the potential to
become a [Dream Chaser]. What does he seek?

{A young boy is working at the stable. A man calls him.}

Man : "We're calling it a day, kid! Thanks a lot. The barrels are all sorted."

{The young boy approaches the man.}

Man : "I hired you at the recommendation of Mayor Pifer... You turned out to be
      OK. By the way, what's your name?"

{The boy says his name is Rudy.}

Man : "Rudy, you're stronger than you look. The horses seem happy. Here's
      today's pay. Sorry kid, this is all the village can afford."

Heal Berry acquired.

Man : "You should see if the mayor has any more work for you. Thanks again!
      See ya!."

@TONY 

 Tony : "Busy, busy, busy. I'm so busy today. Do you want to know why?"

--> YES

  Tony : "Ha ha ha. I can't tell you! Maybe when I get back."

--> NO

  Tony : "No?... Hmm... You didn't find out did you?"

{Rudy goes to Mayor Pilfer's house and talks to him.}

Mayor Pifer : "Rudy! How are you? Thanks to you, the stables are in great
              shape! Take these as a token of my appreciation. Long ago,
              I found these Bombs while exploring ancient ruins. You may find
              them handy."

Tool [Bombs] acquired.

Mayor Pifer : "These Bombs will destroy most small objects. Walk next to the
              object you want to blow up and push the Tools button. It will
              go off in a bit. These magical bombs will never run out. In the
              good old days, magic berries could be found in the cave to the
              south. We would use the bombs to clear debris from the cave. Now
              that all of the berries are gone, we no longer need them. The
              world is fading and our village is starting to feel the impact."

{Rudy bumps to a villager on his way while he's leaving the house.}

Villager : "Excuse me! I must talk to the mayor immediately."

{The Villager pushes Rudy and approaches the mayor.}

Villager : "Mayor Pifer! A child from our village has gone into the Berry
           Cave."

Mayor Pifer : "What?!"

Villager : "What do we do?"

{The mayor walks back and forth, thinking of something.}

Mayor Pifer : "The Berry Cave is full of monsters. There is not much we can
              do. I must talk to the townsfolk about this situation. Please
              keep this quiet. We can't have people panicking."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Rudy heads to the Berry Cave, southwest of Surf. He talks to the man in
the entrance.}

@MAN

 Man : "Wow! I look away for a second and this kid gets past me! No one from
       the village is allowed in here! What am I to do?"

{Rudy explores the cave and finally finds Tony.}

@TONY

 Tony : "I have come to look for berries for my father. The berries are on the
        other side of this blocked passage."

{Rudy bombs the wall and it creates a passage.}

@TONY

 Tony : "Check it out! You've cleared the path! I have to get back! My father
        is waiting for these berries back home."

{Rudy proceeds forward and finds the Holy Berries in front of a glowing
stone pillar.}

*The berries faintly glitter.

Holy Berry acquired.

{Tony approaches Rudy.}

Tony : "Thank you! With these berries, I can heal my father! Let's hurry!
       I've got to get them to him right away!"

{Tony grabs Rudy's hands and they leave the room. The glowing stone pillar
cracks. Then an earthquake shakes the region. Rudy and Tony reach the
entrance of the dungeon. There, they find the townspeople and a dog.}

Tony : "Mom!"

Tony's Mom : "Why do you always cause so much trouble?"

Tony : "I came to get these berries to heal father's wounds."

Tony's Mom : "Are you two OK?!"

Man 1 : "What was that earthquake all about?!"

Man 2 : "I have always told you not to come here..."

Mayor Pifer : "You're safe, that's all that matters. Let's go home."

{They start to leave when the dog suddenly starts to bark. Everyone looks
back and feels an evil presence. A Zombie appears from the tunnel.}

{Rudy fights the Zombie and defeats it with the help of his ARM.
The Zombie starts to regenerate.}

*Rudy casts the Holy Berry at the regenerating Zombie! The healing light
 from the Holy Berry reduces the Zombie to sludge.

Tony : "Wow! You've defeated the Zombie!"

{Tony's mom drags Tony away from Rudy.}

Tony : "...?! What happened Mom?"

Man 3 : "... You have brought tragedy to the entire Village of Surf.

Man 1 : "I know about you. You possess the [ARM]. The forbidden power!
        I know I shouldn't have, but I looked through your stuff the other
        day. The [ARM] has brought doom to us all!"

Townsfolk : "The Dream Chaser, Rudy, has cursed us all..."

Man 2 : "That earthquake was probably caused by Rudy!!!"

Mayor Pifer : "Be quiet everyone!!! Rudy... Thanks for saving the boy...
              But you opened the forbidden path and put us all in danger.
              You also possess an [ARM]! You will be judged for this according
              to our village law. Do you agree, Rudy?"

-> NO

 Mayor Pifer : "I'm sorry, Rudy... Even though you're a [Dream Chaser], you
               still have violated our law. We must judge you. You have no
               choice, Rudy. Please come with us."

-> YES
 
 Mayor Pifer : "We must get back to the village at once. Rudy will be judged
               there."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Rudy is taken back to the Village of Surf. He's at the upper floor of the
Mayor's house and overhears the discussion of the villagers.}

Townsfolk : "The boy brought a terrible omen to the village.
            We must do something!"

Townsfolk : "He's just a [Dream Chaser]. It may sound cruel, but he may bring
            harm upon us all."

Townsfolk : "When the seal was broken, it caused an earthquake that that
            damaged the entire village."

{Rudy goes down the stairs.}

Mayor Pifer : "We all agree then... We'll ask him to leave. I took him in, so
              I'll inform him of our decision."

{The Mayor is about to head to Rudy upstairs, but finds he him along the way.}

Mayor Pifer : "Were you eavesdropping, Rudy? Then you know what we've decided.
              I must ask you to pack your things and leave. And please, don't
              come back."

{The townspeople doesn't like Rudy anymore. As Rudy starts to leave, Tony
shows up.}

Tony : "You saved me! I was so helpless. I know that you did the right thing
       and that they are wrong. I just want to say thank you. I've gotta get
       back. Thanks again!"

{Rudy leaves the village.}

Even though he used his skill to protect them, they rejected him out of fear.
Within him is a power he never asked for... the skill to use the forbidden
ARMs. He still wanders the world in search of his soul, unaware of his inborn
power...

===========================
= 1.03] A Treasure Hunter =
===========================

{A treasure hunter and his Wind Mouse companion, Hanpan, approach the entrance
of a ruin.}

Hanpan : "The [Temple of Memory]... I hope you didn't pay much for this
         information."

Treasure Hunter : "Hey... So you know about this place?!"

Hanpan : "Yeah, sure. It's a famous site. You wasted your money. There's
         nothing left here of any value."

Treasure Hunter : "Shhh! Quiet! My instincts tell me this is it!"

Hanpan : "I can't believe there would be anything left here. This is not
         the first time treasure hunters have come through here. We'll find
         nothing but junk."

{The treasure hunter takes a step forward.}

Hanpan : "OK, let's check it out anyway." Maybe we'll find clues for obtaining
         the [Power]."

Treasure Hunter : "Let's go then..."

{They head inside the temple. Inside, they find a machine that looks like a
console.}

Treasure Hunter : "Hey, Hanpan. What is this?"

Hanpan : "Hey! No! Don't touch that! Let me do it. Let's see... here..."

{Jack bumps to the machine.}

MACHINE : "Are you the keeper of the [Memory]? You must engrave the name."

Treasure Hunter : "You're the brain. Do you have any ideas?"

Hanpan : "I have no idea!"

Treasure Hunter : "Just as a test, I'll put in my name."

{The Treasure Hunter puts in his name, Jack.}

MACHINE : "Jack.....................
          .............................
          ..................No matches.
          I protect the [Memory]. Intruder! I cast you to the bottom of the
          abyss!"

{The floor where Jack is standing disappears and they fall into the abyss.}

Jack Van Burace, Master of the <Fast Draw>, [Dream Chaser],
the Treasure Hunter. His Wind Mouse companion, Hanpan, is curious and
knowledgeable, but also a little arrogant. With no regard to danger,
the Treasure Hunters roam the ruins, seeking treasure and adventure.

Jack seeks the ultimate [Power] surpassing any other in existence.
He relentlessly searches. Is it a sword? Is it hidden in here?
Once again, Jack will be challenging the ruins in search of the [Power].

{Jack falls down in a room with spikes on the floor. He runs around,
dodging boulders and spears and finally bumps into a wall. He falls
down on another disappearing floor.}

Jack : "Damn! That was cool!"

Hanpan : "Forget about exploring! Let's just get outta here!"

{Jack explores the ruins, on his way he finds a note and reads it.}

NOTE : "Ha ha ha... I've taken everything of value."

{Jack moves along and finds another note.}

NOTE : "No way! How the heck am I supposed to get that treasure?!"

Hanpan : "I can help you get to those hard to reach places. Aim and push the
         Tools button. If it's not too heavy. I'll fly over and pick it up.
         I'm a Wind Mouse, after all. Speed and wit are my forte!"

{Moving along, Jack finds a third note posted on the wall.}

NOTE : "Ouch! What are these spikes doing here?!"

{Jack continues to move forward and finds himself in a room with two switches
on the floor that must be stepped on simultaneously.}

NOTE : "How in the world do you operate these switches? I don't get it!"

{Jack steps on one switch and Hanpan steps on another. A portal appears.
They enter the portal and it takes them to a place where there is a huge
machine. Jacks checks the console.}

Hanpan : "Don't touch it!"

{An image of an old man is projected by the machine.}

Hanpan : "... It's an Elw... I've never seen anything like this before..."

Jack : "What... What's an Elw?"

Hanpan : "Long ago... an alien race lived here, an advanced race who used
         technology laced with magic. These are the remnants of a race whose
         lives were in sync with the laws of nature."

Jack : "So is this an Elw?"

Hanpan : "No, this is holographic image. This machine must be a data storage
         device of the Elw! Information is left here to be retrieved later!
         This certainly is a [Temple of Memory]."

Jack : "Wait a minute... The Elw is speaking directly into my mind!"

Hanpan : "Wow! With your thick skull?! This certainly is advanced technology!"

"Seek not Lolithia. She sleeps in her tomb.
Lolithia's icy breath can only destroy."

"Seek not Lolithia in her tomb. The Elw have departed."

"Seek not Lolithia, for she is bound in the [Land of Light]."

"She is the Death Wind. The heartbeat of annihilation,
an absolute destructive power..."

{The image of the Elw disappears. A portal appears in the room.}

Jack : "I can't believe it... The absolute [Power]...
       Hey Hanpan, you heard him! Where is this [Land of Light]?"

Hanpan : "Hmmm... I'm not certain, but... In an ancient tongue, Adlehyde means
         [Light]. Perhaps it's related... Do you want to go there? It's not
         that far form here."

Jack : "... OK."

Hanpan : "Adlehyde is a kingdom located to the southwest of here."

{Jack steps on the portal and they are taken to the entrance of the dungeon.
They leave the ruins.}

There is a price to pay when the Power is attained. Free thyself from the past.
But what awaits in the future? Does man seek strength because he believes that
the Power will light the darkened path to the future? He has no idea that the
Power he seeks is also binding his soul.

= 1.04] A Girl from an Abbey =
==============================

"Oh... Innocent One. You can feel my mind in yours..."

Girl : "Me...? Are you calling me...?"

{The girl looks around, but all she can see is darkness.}

Girl : "It's dark in here. I can't see..."

{Balls of Light appear around her. The space she's in changes a little.}

"Take my wishes to your heart, Innocent One... Tell me your name...
We will again be bound by the ancient contract."

Girl : "Who are you? I'm not the one you want!"

"Hurry... Tell me your name. Once again, the world is being engulfed by
darkness. Tell me your name."

Girl : "... ... My name is..."

{The girl's name is Cecilia. A shadow in the shape of a tortoise appears
before her.}

"Girl, Cecilia... Let go of your ego... The power is in the book...."

{The image is gone and the space turns black again.}

Cecilia : "... Who are you...?"

Cecilia... Cecilia... Cecilia... the Innocent One.
Cecilia... ...Cecilia... ...Cecilia...
...Cecilia Cecilia... The class is over...

{Cecilia wakes up near her desk, in the classroom.}

Cecilia : "Huh? What happened?"

Classmate 1 : "Aren't you turning 17 today? You need to work on not being
              so spaced out."

Classmate 2 : "Aren't you supposed to go back to Adlehyde when you turn 17?
              I worry about the future if our princess has mental problems."

Cecilia : "Gee... You guys are being really nice to me today."

Classmate 2 : "You're going back to Adlehyde soon, aren't you? You should say
              farewell to everyone..."

Cecilia : "Yeah, I need to do that..."

Classmate 1 : "... Are you done yet?"

Classmate 2 : "Stop procrastinating. Get going!"

Classmate 1 : "Everyone will appreciate your visit."

{Cecilia begins to say goodbye to everyone.}

@SISTER MARY

 Sister Mary : "Cecilia, you're almost ready to leave the abbey. Your life
               from here on is going to be a journey. You must be cautious."

@CHEF JACQUES

 Chef Jacques : "You... It's not dinner time yet!"

@LILA

 Lila : *in bed* "Cecilia... You eat so much! You have gotten to be known as
        the [Glutton Woman]. The great mage of... Ouch!..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Cecilia stops by the library and talks to a student in there.}

Student 1 : "Cecilia! Good timing. I know you'll help me out. I was
            sorting the books, but I ended up making a mess. I'm terrible
            at this. Anje, the magician, has a magic [Pocket Watch].
            Please, Cecilia. Get the watch from Anje and help me clean the
            library! The watch will reverse time and put all the books back
            on the shelves."

{Cecilia goes upstairs into Anje's room and talks to her.}

Anje : "Good timing. Please take a look..."

{Anje places a stone on the table.}

Anje : "This is the [Guardian Stone]. It responds to the power of the
       Guardians. According to my studies, the [Tear Drop] has some connection
       to them. Push the Tools button near the desk and use the [Tear Drop].
       The Guardian Stone] should respond. If you do this for me, I shall
       give you my [Pocket Watch].

@ANJE

 Anje : "I have a theory about the Guardians. Your [Tear Drop] contains some
         relationship between the Guardians and Adlehyde. Push the Tools button
         near the table. The stone should respond to the [Tear Drop].

{Cecilia goes near the table and uses the [Tear Drop]. The stone
glows.}

Anje : "Just as I thought, there's a definite reaction! Your [Tear Drop]
       crystal and the Guardians are linked in some way. The [Tear Drop] is
       the secret treasure of the Adlehyde family. That's why the stone
       glowed. This will help so much in furthering my research. You can have
       my [Pocket Watch]. It's very useful."

[Pocket Watch] acquired.

Anje : "By using the [Pocket Watch], you can go back in time.
       You can reconstruct broken boxes and reset objects that are stuck in
       place. It may not be always effective, but it's magic is worth
       repeating."

{Cecilia takes the [Pocket Watch] to the library. She sees her classmate
in the entrance of the room.}

Student 1 : "So that's Anje's watch... Please use it to fix up this mess.
            I'll go over to Sister Mary and make some excuses. I'll be right
            back. Cecilia, I'm counting on you. OK?"

{Her classmate leaves. Cecilia moves inside the room.}

Cecilia : "I hate to use magic for a purpose like this, but..."

{Cecilia uses the [Pocket Watch] and the mess is cleaned up.
There is one book left on the floor, however.}

Cecilia : "Wow! This thing really works! Huh? There's one book still left on
          the floor."

{Cecilia checks the book and hears a voice speaking to her mind.}

"Innocent One... Release... Let go of your ego...
I am... trapped within the [Sealed Library]..."

{The book disappears.}

Cecilia : "The book spoke to me... The same voice as in the dream...
          What is the [Sealed Library]? I wonder if it's located somewhere
          in the abbey?"

{Cecilia starts gathering information about the [Sealed Library].
She talks to Sister Mary in the classroom.}

Sister Mary : "So, a book is calling you to the [Sealed Library]?"

Cecilia : "Yes, it's not a dream. A shadow spoke to me and asked me to release
          him from the book. Sister Mary... I thought you might know..."

Sister Mary : "A book which speaks... And a large shadow? A library in which
              many forbidden secrets are stored does exist. Where the
              [Sealed Library] is... That I cannot tell you. You were summoned
              by the Guardians to search for the [Sealed Library]. If you are
              the chosen one, you must do this on your own."

{Cecilia starts talking to other people in the abbey to learn more about
the [Sealed Library].} 

@CHEF JACQUES

 Chef Jacques : "[Sealed Library]... I've heard of it before. Something about
                the showing of a light being the key..."
@LILA

 Lila : "I'm not the only one who knows this... The [Sealed Library] is a
        popular rumor around here. Something acts as a key to open the door
        or something..."

@STUDENT 2

 Student 2 : "I don't know about any [Sealed Library], but I do know that the
             two statues in the courtyard have secret switches. I want to push
             them so baaaad!!!"

{With the information she got, Cecilia heads to the courtyard and notices
a switch on both statues. She hits the switches and pushes the statues
to make them face each other. Then, she goes between them and uses the
[Tear Drop]. 2 Balls of light emerge and fly northward into the abbey,
creating a Tear Drop symbol on the wall. Cecilia goes near the symbol.}

I am the Eternal Darkness. Come to me, Innocent One.
Bring me your inner light...

{Cecilia uses the [Tear Drop] and it takes her to the [Sealed Library].}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Cecilia moves deeper in the [Sealed Library] until she reaches
the room with the bookshelves.}

The three books act as a door. They are called the [Books of Doors]...
The Key is the [Flame]... Open the door and light the path...

{Cecilia searches the room. She finds three books lying on the ground
and throws them to the fire. A new path is revealed.}

{Inside, she finds a lone book on the desk and she opens it.
A monster comes out from the book.}

The Book Monster : "A human who wants to touch the forbidden book!
                   I shall grant your wish and make you a part of my story!"

Cecilia : "You're not the shadow that calls me, are you?"

{Cecilia enters battle.}

The Book Monster : "Daughter of the way of magic! Become my flesh and blood
                   inside the forbidden book!"

{Cecilia eliminates the book monster, Nelgaul.}

{The pages of the book turn and another creature comes out from it.}

Cecilia : "The shadow figure in my dream...

The Shadow : "I am Stoldark, the Guardian of water. For ages, the demon
             Nelgaul has locked me in this terrible book. I have waited a long
             time for the Innocent One who would receive the Guardian Spirit."

Cecilia : "The Innocent One? Me?"

Stoldark : "The world is at the turning point of darkness again.
           Innocent One... can you hear the anger of the land and the wind?
           The screams of the sea and the sky?"

Cecilia : "..."

Stoldark : "Wear me as your armor, Innocent One. I shall protect you in your
           fight for life. The battle for Filgaia begins again. Everything
           begins with [Lolithia]...

{The image of Stoldark becomes a rune.}

Water Rune acquired.

Cecilia : "[Lolithia]... What does that mean?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Cecilia teleports back to the abbey.}

Sister Mary : "Welcome back, Cecilia. Now you realize the responsibilities of
              the women in the Adlehyde family. The female descendants of the
              Adlehyde family share their thoughts with the Guardians. They
              must carry the burden of their destiny with them for the rest of
              their lives. No one can understand the pain and pressure which
              you must endure. But, they can help you cope with it and make
              your life easier. Cecilia there are those who can relate to
              the burden one's destiny brings. Walk proudly from the
              abbey...You must travel your own path from now on."

{Cecilia exits the abbey.}

The Guardians from the legend have spoken only to her...
Without a sound, the wheels of destiny have started to turn.
The path she followed in the past was guided by her surroundings.
She knew someday she would have to pave her own path to the future.
The Innocent One, who the Guardians speak of... It may be too heavy
of a burden to be the sorceress of the ultimate power at such a young age...

Just as Rudy/Jack/Cecilia enters Adlehyde...}

{The three men from earlier enter.}

Man : "Alarm! There has been an accident at [Lolithia's Tomb]!

Emma : "Oh no! Tell me what's going on."

Man : "We broke through a wall damaged by the earthquake and unleashed
      monsters. Some of the workers were injured by one of the monsters."

Emma : "Gather anyone with military experience!"

Man : "No way!! No one here has ever fought monsters before. There are so
       many of them. You couldn't pay us enough to go in there."

Emma : "All right then! Get to work on the repairs. You hear?! I'll do
       something about the monsters."

Man : "OK!"

{The men leave.}

Emma : "We have a minor problem in the ruins to the north. You can fight,
       can't you? I need to have some monsters slain. I'll pay 500 gella.

        to the monsters that stop me. Will you do it for 500 gella?

a spooky demon statue with a button behind it. They push the button and
4 boxes appear. They push the boxes into position and it creates a path
leading to a closed double door. Cecilia uses the Tear Drop in front of the
door and it opens.}

{From the door comes a monster, Magtortous. The party fights and then
defeats it. They move on past the monster and finds a the golem inside.}

Jack : "...What?..."

Hanpan : "... That's the golem..."

Cecilia : "The same golem written about in the legend?!"

Hanpan : "Probably... In the ancient days, when Filgaia was surrounded
         by forests, it was said that there were eight weapons of the
         ancient giants. They were sealed away in some secret place
         after they nearly destroyed the world. Some of these weapons
         were found in ruins in this area. I had no idea that a golem was
         hidden near Adlehyde."

Jack : "I wonder if the power in this tomb is different from the [Power]
       I have been seeking all this time?"

Hanpan : "The power we felt here is probably the golem."

Jack : "Geez! How am I supposed to use this? It's huge! I can barely lift it!"

Hanpan : "He's mad!"

Jack : "Let's get this over with. There's nothing here for me!"

Hanpan : "We must notify the professor about the golem."

{The party returns to Professor Emma and tells her about the golem.}

Emma : "Really?! The golem truly exists! Then I was right in picking this
       site. I'm a genius! Oh... you guys are great, too! We can just sit
       around here. We must evacuate it now! Take some of my crew with you
       to the site where you found the golem! I'm counting on you!!!"

{Emma enthusiastically goes to work.}

-Jack : "Gee, she's bossy..."

-Cecilia : "She's kinda bossy..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party, together with Emma & the crew, heads to where the golem is.}

Emma : "OK, let's pull it up! You won't break it!

Crew : "Got it!"

{The crew ties the golem to a pulley. Then, it is lifted it to the hole above.}

Emma : "It's a pleasant surprise that my Emma-Motor was effective here.
       Thanks to you and my Emma-Motor, we were able to pull her out.
       Yes, this is [Lolithia]. One of the eight golems. Isn't it cute?
       This thing is unbreakable. It's still in mint condition and it's
       completely dormant. The reward of 500 gella will be ready for you,
       but you must come by tomorrow. I'll be too busy preparing for the
       festival today."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party returns to Adlehyde.}

Jack : "We'll get our money tomorrow. After that, I'll go on to the
       next ruin with Hanpan."

Cecilia : "We're parting so soon?"

Jack : "It's the life of a [Dream Chaser] you know. Let's get back to the
       inn, the festival starts tomorrow."

{The party decides to stay at the inn.}

Cecilia : "Tomorrow, we'll go to the festival together, but I have to get
          going now... I have no idea why I was summoned to the north ruin.
          But, I'm glad to know I was of some help. After I go, I might
          not be able to travel with you... But I will never forget our
          adventure. I hope you guys will treat me the same way I've treated
          you."

{Cecilia leaves. She heads to the castle where the King welcomes her.}

 They look human. Their use is unknown. They have been found in several
 places.

 this because it requires psychic synchronization.

*There are mysterious black boxes which may be some kind of control device.

*This fragment of metal is extremely strong. No one has been able to
 duplicate it.

*Asteroid from the Ocean of Stars. Metals found in many of the artifacts can
 be traced back to this asteroid.

@EMMA

 Emma : "Because of you guys, we made it on time. Here is the payment."

 500 gella acquired.

 Emma : "Take it easy. There's a lot to see here... I'm sure you'll see
        something that interests you."

@EMMA

 Emma : "Your presence helped make the excavation much smoother.

{Rudy and Jack see a distressed woman while in the festival.
They talk to her.}

Woman : "My son is missing. He just disappeared into the crowd.
        Please... Can you help look for him? He may be in trouble.
        I'm going to stay here so I don't miss him on this road...
        If you see him, please bring him back to me. He has a red balloon.
        Please!"

{Jack and Rudy finds the kid with a red balloon in Central Adlehyde.
They talk to him.}

Kid : "Mom! Mom! Where did you go?! Oh, my balloon!"

{The red balloon flies to the sky. It gets struck by lightning.}

Suddenly, dark clouds hover over Adlehyde.
The laughter and the murmur cease. As the unsuspecting people look up
to the skies, they watch the silent nightmare spread over their heads.

The sky is cracking.
The [Beginning of the End] is here...
A sword of light strikes the land and a wall of fire rushed across the horizon.

{Rays of light struck the land. The town's burning. Some townspeople
are wounded, some are dead.}

{Near the castle is Cecilia. She is surrounded by Skeletons and Lizardmen.
Rudy and Jack eliminate the monsters.}

-> If Rudy and Jack have saved most of the survivors

 Cecilia : "Thanks to the two of you, we were able to save most of the
           townspeople. We must go, now."

-> If Rudy and Jack haven't saved all the survivors yet

 Cecilia : "The gates to the castle will remain open for another 5 minutes!
          We must get everyone into the castle at once!"

{After they rescue the survivors, they head to the castle.
Meanwhile, a demon, with some monsters, enter the town.}

Belselk : "Not even close, you weak humans! This is no contest.
          There is nothing for me to do here... Well, I guess my superior
          power is too good to use on humans. Give this message to one of the
          humans running into the castle. If they don't give up the [Tear
          Drop], we will tear the castle to pieces.

{A Lizardman goes near Belselk.}

Belselk : "Are there golems here? Are they working?
          All junk? Good! We don't want to fight those things...
          We have the golems now. This is a very interesting situation..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party are on their way to where the King is.}

@KNIGHT 1

 Knight 1 : "The king's wounds are being tended to in his chambers."

{They head to the King's chambers.}

@KNIGHT 2

 Knight 2 : "The king is being treated inside. It doesn't look good."

@MINISTER JOHAN

 Minister Johan : "This has never happened before. Monsters are taking over
                  an entire town. What do they want?"

{They find the King in bed.}

@KING ADLEHYDE

 King Adlehyde : "I've been wounded badly. I was careless... I hope my men
                 get away in time. Urrrrrgh! Let me speak to Cecilia. I need
                 to tell her something before I..."

{Cecilia talks to King Adlehyde.}

King Adlehyde : "Cecilia, I'm glad you're all right. Listen, Cecilia! The
                monsters are after you. You must defeat them!"

{A knight hurries inside.}

Knight 3 : "Your Majesty! The monsters demand that you surrender the [Tear
           Drop] or they will storm the castle."

Cecilia : "The [Tear Drop] belonged to my mother. It's very dear to me, but
          I'll give it up for the sake of my kingdom. The monsters can have
          my [Tear Drop]..."

King Adlehyde : "I won't permit it! No... You won't do it! Cecilia, the
                [Tear Drop] is not just an heirloom. It's holds the key to
                unleashing the power of the ancients. Only a princess of the
                Adlehyde family may possess it. One who hears the will of the
                Guardians can use the [Tear Drop] to change the world."

Cecilia : "But if I do nothing, many will die because of me."

King Adlehyde : "Please understand, Cecilia. Life can be cruel sometimes.
                Cecilia, stay in your room, no matter what happens."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Cecilia is in her room. Jack and Rudy are with her.}

Cecilia : "I don't agree with what my father said. Innocent people should not
          suffer. In the dungeon, there is a secret passage. It should
          still be there. When I was a little girl, I remember trying to get
          to the town from there. We can sneak out from there and give the
          demons the [Tear Drop]."

{The party's objective is to get out of the castle without getting
caught by the guards. They run until they reach the kitchen. They
talk to a cook there.}

Cook : "There is a curfew in place here at Adlehyde. Do you still want to go?
       ...I understand. I'll open the door to the cellar... Please follow me.
       There are powerful monsters down there. Are you ready for this?"

-> No
 
 Cook : "When you're ready let me know. I'll be waiting."

-> YES

Cook : "Let's go."

{The cook pushes a barrel which turns out to be a switch. The party
falls down to the cellar.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party gets through the secret passage and appears in the SE house
in Adlehyde. They go to the center of the town to where Belselk is.}

Belselk : "Hand over the [Tear Drop]!"

Cecilia : "Are you guaranteeing the lives of the people?"

Belselk : "Don't worry, I'm a busy guy. Just give me the Tear Drop and
          you won't see me again."

Belselk receives Tear Drop.

Belselk : "Grab the prize and go through the gate as soon as it opens."

{Belselk is about to leave...}

Jack : "Wait! I'm not done with you yet! You demon... I don't know how you got
       here, but..."

Belselk : "So... What are you going to do?"

Jack : "Revenge! This is what I live for!"

Belselk : "Like I said, I'm a busy guy. Let's make it quick, shall we?"

Cecilia : "No, you can't do that! You're crazy to go after him by yourself."

{The party enters battle.}

Belselk : "Humans break so easily. You guys don't make very good toys.
          We have to be so delicate with you humans. Here, how about a little
          dance?"

{The party battles Belselk.}

Belselk : "Huh? What was that? I feel like I'm being assaulted by a gnat.
          I'm running out of patience!"

Belselk : "Come back when you're more of a challenge, kid!"

{Belselk disappears.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Meanwhile, some monsters can be seen carrying the golems.}

Winged Monster 1 : "Belselk is a slave driver. Why do we have to take this
                   junk back?"

Winged Monster 2 : "We've got to do what we're told... We've got to get this
                   done."

{The monsters fly the golems away.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party returns to the King's chamber.}

Cecilia : "I'm sorry, father. I disobeyed your wishes. The [Tear Drop] is in
          their hands."

King Adlehyde : "...It's done. But the [Tear Drop] must not be used for evil.
                We must..."

Cecilia : "Please don't talk, father. Save your strength. It's my
          responsibility to reclaim the [Tear Drop]."

Minister Johan : "Princess!"

Cecilia : "I have made my decision. Our resources must be conserved for the
          reconstruction of Adlehyde! I have trusty friends. With their
          help, I will reclaim the [Tear Drop]. Rudy, Jack. Please help me.
          I need to reclaim the [Tear Drop] for the future of Filgaia."

Jack : "I understand. I'm sure Rudy is with me as well. We were going to
       volunteer anyway, but you shouldn't come. You'll just slow us down."

Cecilia : "What? I don't mean to..."

Jack : "If I had known who you were, I would have thought twice about working
       with you. I don't trust royalty. I never have and I never will. I kind
       of had an idea, but you still haven't told us the truth from your mouth.
       Hide your identity and roam the land...eh? How romantic... You can
       count me out."

Minister Johan : "That's enough, [Dream Chaser]!"

Cecilia : "I apologize for my behavior. If people find out who I am, they
          become distant. I was lonely... But my passion to save Filgaia is
          no lie. How can I convince you?"

{Jack turns away.}

King Adlehyde : "Cecilia... Please... Ohhh!..."

Cecilia : "Your sword... May I please use your sword?"

Jack : "What do you want with it? It's far too heavy for you."

Cecilia : "Please... the sword!!!"

{Jack hands the sword to Cecilia.}

Jack : "It's heavy... with the weight of its destiny. It's not for you!
       Give it back! Princess, you can't support it on your own."

{Cecilia cuts her hair with the sword. Everyone else looks surprised.}

Cecilia : "Your sword has severed my past... I plead again, please join me
          in reclaiming peace."

Jack : "Once you do this, there is no turning back..."

King Adlehyde : "Be strong, Cecilia. Protect what is yours."

{The King dies.}

Minister Johan : "... We can't just sit around feeling sad.
                 We must honor the dead... Our beloved king and the men
                 who fought so bravely."

{The minister leaves.}


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The day of the King's funeral...}

They gather here today... Three separate agendas, but one common goal...
The stage is set for the fall of [Filgaia]...
The story starts here...

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


==========================================
= 1.07] Mountain Pass and Milama Village =
==========================================

One week from the date of the attack...

Jack : "This is our destiny! The three of us going after the monsters.
       I really don't want to do this, but we must fetch the princess.
       We're running out of time.

{Rudy and Jack fetch Cecilia in her room. She has a new look.}

Cecilia : "Do you like my new hair? It's a lot easier to manage.
          This is easier to move. I can't sit and cry forever.
          I'm waiting for the rainbow after the rain stops.
          I'll be strong again. Please, take me with you.

{The party heads to the Adlehyde Council Room where Johan is waiting.}

Minister Johan : "Finally, the three of you... I hate the fact that you're
                 carrying the burden by yourselves. But, our future depends
                 on your journey."

Cecilia : "Don't worry. Father... For the glory of Adlehyde and Filgaia, I
          shall reclaim the [Tear Drop]. The Water Guardian, [Stoldark], has
          spoken to me about the danger. If you say I am the Shaman Princess of
          the Guardians, then I'm proud to be the Innocent One."

Minister Johan : "The princess had a vision! There is no doubt now. You must
                 follow your destiny, Princess. Go west, through the Mountain
                 Pass and you will find the town of Milama. There, you'll find
                 a large shrine. If you are the Innocent One, then you must go
                 there."

Cecilia : "I don't know anything about being a shaman. But if I can be of any
          help, I'll deal with whatever is expected of me.  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Rudy, Jack and Cecilia travel to the Mountain Pass. They explore the dungeon.}

{The party gets through the first cave. Along their way, a strong wind blows.}

Cecilia : "Whew... Those were some nasty winds."

{Jack looks as if he's thinking of something.}

Hanpan : "Wha...what's going on?"

Jack : "These gusts of wind... If I could harness the power."

Hanpan : "I agree... Why don't you give it a try."

*<Fast Draw> hint acquired.

{The party gets through the dungeon.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{They go to Milama Village, south of the Mountain Pass.
They talk to the Pub's owner, whose father is a Guardian Priest.}

Owner : "What do you want? I'm busy right now! Can you come back later?"

*Do you want to ask the pub owner about the Guardian Shrine?

-> NO
 
 Owner : "Don't waste my time. I said I'm busy!"

-> YES

Owner : "The Guardians?! I didn't think anyone knew about them anymore.
        I may be of some help. My father was the last keeper of the Guardian
        Temple. He told me many stories. Wait until the customers are gone,
        will ya? This isn't a temple I'm running here. Why don't you guys eat
        something while you wait?"

Cecilia : "Okay, five hamburgers please."

Owner : "Wow, that's a lot of food for you guys. Who's gonna eat all of it?

{After a while, the customers are gone. The party is done eating their food.}

Jack : "I can't believe you had seconds..."

Cecilia : "Magic casting requires a lot of energy. That's why I'm always hungry
          after a battle. Plus, I love hamburgers. I learned how fun it was to
          eat through cooking and eating hamburgers at the abbey. Everyone
          loves me because I'm a princess, not because I'm [Cecilia]. If
          people need be because of what I symbolize, then I shall do what's
          asked of me. I will retrieve the [Tear Drop].

Owner : "Okay, I'm ready. Let's talk about the Guardians. There is a room that
        only priests were permitted to see... My father probably wanted me to
        be a priest because he made me memorize the password to the room.
        Write this down."

Owner : "Light the fire at 2, then at 10. When you light the fire at 6, the
        doors will open at 12. Go through the temple with the light."

Owner : "I don't know what this means, but I'm sure you will find out. Take
        this with you... My father left this for me, but I don't need it
        anymore."

Holy Medal acquired.

=============================
= 1.08] The Guardian Shrine =
=============================

{The party enters the Guardian Shrine, NW of Milama.
In there, the party moves on and reaches a room with a mirror.
A light comes from Cecilia and seems to guide them to go through the mirror.}

Cecilia : "I understand, Stoldark. We must go there."

{Cecilia goes near the mirror.}

Jack : "What are you planning to do now, Princess?!"

{Cecilia enters the mirror.}

Jack : "Hey... Follow her!"

{Rudy and Jack goes through the mirror.}

{Jack can be seen alone.}

*All of a sudden, Rudy and Cecilia were gone. They found themselves on a
 strange landscape...

*Each character will be played separately from here. Please, switch
 characters and play them one by one.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{AS JACK}

{Jack moves on until he sees a sword engraved on the ground.
He grabs it.}

Jack : "This sword contains the power I've been seeking! Now, I can have my
       revenge! This is [Absolute Power]."

{Jack pulls the sword up. When he's able to pull it, the sword
seems to start burning and Jack is not able to hold it.}

Jack : "Wha what... What happened?!

{The sword vanishes. Jack appears to be in nowhere.}

Jack : "Gggh... Where am I? Vast nothingness... It's like a dream.
       Is someone here? Come out, whoever you are!"

{Images of the Fenril knights appear.}

Jack : "No way... It can't be..."

Voice : "You're the one who ran. Coward! You seek power, but you refuse to use
       it..."

Jack : "I've never run from anything before. I've accepted every challenge
       I've faced."

Voice : "You ran away from your friends and your responsibilities.
        But most of all, you ran from yourself. Don't you get it?
        A [coward] can destroy, but true power is the power of protection."

Jack : "I know that... I really do... That is why I'm seeking it.
       Please be patient."

{The images vanish.}

Jack : "Wait a minute! I'm gonna be alone again?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{AS RUDY}

{Rudy presses forward until he reaches a room with three mirrors. Tony appears
to be in there.}

Tony : "The monsters are coming!"

{A monster appears, however, it is quickly exterminated by Rudy.}

Tony : "I'm scared... You're just as scary as the monsters. Your powers are not
       like ours."

{More images appears.}

Man 1 : "There is no place for you in this world. You're not needed here..."

Woman : "Nobody wants to be with you. You're a stranger... Who are you 
        fighting for, [stranger]?"

Man 2 : "So, you use your powers to help people eh? What does that prove?
        You're still distancing yourself from people."

Man 3 : "ARMS contain a from of energy that is different from the one found
        in humans. The could have originally belonged to the demons."

Man 4 : "You're another monster! We don't want you in Filgaia. Just look at
        you!"

{Rudy looks at himself in the mirror. He sees a monster as his reflection.}

{The images, besides Tony, disappear.}

Tony : "Filgaia isn't for you... You don't belong here."

{Rudy falls on his knees.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{AS CECILIA}

{Cecilia moves on. She appears to be in Adlehyde Castle.}

Cecilia : "...! No... Not Adlehyde Castle!"

{An image of Johan appears.}

Johan : "The princess is coming to save the world. May the Guardians be with
        her."

{An image of an Adlehyde soldier appears.}

Soldier 1 : "The princess is responsible for being a princess. Remember that."

Cecilia : "I know... I know... But..."

{Another image of an Adlehyde Soldier appears.}

Soldier 2 : "Have you noticed that no one calls you by your name..."

Cecilia : "...!?!?!?"

{A third image of a soldier appears.}

Soldier 3 : "The princess is a symbol, Cecilia is not. Do you understand?"

{An image of King Adlehyde appears in the throne.}

Cecilia : "Please... Not you too, father..."

King Adlehyde : "You knew no one loved you. So, what's the surprise?"

{Another Cecilia, with the long hair, appears.}

Cecilia : "Are you me?"

The other Cecilia : "You requested this dangerous adventure because you wanted
                    to be loved by someone... You're going to save the world
                    because it's your duty as a princess. But, what you really
                    want is sympathy. You hypocrite."

Cecilia : *on her knees* "Am I wrong? Answer me!"

{The images, except the other Cecilia, vanishes.}

The other Cecilia : "No one loves you... You don't love anyone... Wake up!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Rudy, Jack, and Cecilia are together.}

A Voice : "This is the girl Stoldark has chosen?"

Cecilia : *looks around* The voice in my heart, is the voice of the Guardian."

Second Voice : "What a weak mind! The weakening of the world is really the
               weakening of human soul. Guardijeff! Do you really want to let
               this one decide Filgaia's destiny?"

Jack : "What? What do you hear?"

Third Voice : "Listen Moa Gault. We have no choice."

Cecilia : "I can feel the emotions of the Guardians in my heart. The anger and
          rage... The doubt and sorrow..."

Jack : "Damn you... Show yourselves! Stop toying with us!"

{The place darkens. A dragon appears.}

First Voice : "I am the Earth Guardian, Guardijeff. We heard you answer our
              call..."

{A phoenix appears.}

Second Voice : "I am the Fire Guardian, Moa Gault. I have looked into your
               soul, it is weak and vulnerable. It is not strong enough to
               defeat the demons, who we have been fighting with for the past
               1000 years."

{A white tiger appears.}

Third Voice : "I am the Wind Guardian, Fengalon. We are the spirits of the
              Guardians, and we need your help."

Guardijeff : "You may be right, Fengalon. Look at them... They look defeated.
             Nevertheless, they are our only hope."

Jack : "I am not deaf of blind! Damn you! Why have you been showing us these
       illusions? Answer me, Guardians!"

Guardijeff (?) : "You must understand... We do not have enough power to fight
                 the demons. We must get the [Tear Drop] back! We need it's
                 power to defend Filgaia."

Cecilia : "The [Tear Drop]?! How do you know?"

Moa Gault : "We know... We can feel its power... The [Tear Drop] is the light
            that gives life..."

Fengalon : "Yes, it's the same light that gives us life... Which means you
           hold the key to our existence..."

Cecilia : "What do the demons want with the [Tear Drop]? Do they want to
          destroy the world with it?"

Guardijeff : "With the [Tear Drop], it is possible. The demons, however, are
             trying to use it to revive their master, the Mother."

Jack : "The Mother? So, that's the name of their master, huh?"

Guardijeff (?) : "Warriors! Do you still seek our power?!"

Cecilia : "We can't possibly do this ourselves..."

Jack : "I want the power... I want to defeat them..."

Guardijeff : "Because you are weak, you seek power... We shall give you the
             power that you seek, but time is running out. You will have the
             power to summon us into your reality."

*Summon Guardian Force acquired.

Guardijeff : "Take our powers before they weaken any further and stop the
             demons from regenerating the Mother. We shall send our warriors
             to their lair."

Cecilia : "How is that possible?"

Fengalon : "We have our ways... We can sense the power of the [Tear Drop].

Moa Gault : "The only way a warrior, with a weak mind, is able to defeat the
            enemy is by striking at its heart. Come now, show us your faith and
            leap!"

{Moa Gault and Fengalon disappears.}

Guardijeff : "To reclaim the [Tear Drop], we..."

{The party returns to the Guardian Shrine.}

Cecilia : "What happened...?"

Guardijeff : "That was a shock from the Dark Spear of Zeikfried!
             We are not strong enough to transport to the battle.
             Go now... I will guide you to your destiny. You must prevent
             Mother..."

Cecilia : "Guardijeff!"

Guardijeff (?) : "The [Tear Drop] is a source of life. It should not be used
                 for the birth of destruction."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Somewhere...}

Zeikfried : "That damned Guardian! He scanned this area with his mind!"

Lady Harken : *comes from above* "His scans have been shut off. The Duke's
              mansion is superb. But now we know that the humans are in
              contact with the Guardians. We have a few problems..."

Zeikfried : "When the fight is lost, the decay begins... Look at this place,
            it's a dying land of cowards! Humans, Elws, and the Guardians...
            Their defenses are no longer effective. They don't even have a
            world to defend. We have nothing to fear from the Guardians."

Alhazad : *appears from nowhere* "That is correct, my lord. Now that the Elws
          are no longer helping the humans, they don't stand a chance."

Belselk : *enters* "I know. When I watch the squirm in the flames, I can feel
          my power..."

Lady Harken : "We could have gotten the [Tear Drop] with less destruction."

Belselk : "What? What are you talking about, you newby!"

Zeikfried : "Both of you, stop it! We, the Quarter Knights gather for a single
            purpose. We must break the seal which binds our leader, Mother.
            That dreaded Guardian seal must be undone!"

Belselk : "Sorry... This one is mine."

{Belselk leaves.}

Alhazad : "Why should he have all the fun?"


{Alhazad disappears.}

Lady Harken : "......."

{Lady Harken jumps away.}

Zeikfried : "Mother, when you finally wake, will the rest of the Quarter
            Knights share our dreams?"

{A cocoon is inside a container. You can hear its heartbeats.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party is teleported in a wooden area. Rudy wakes up. Then Jack wakes
next. Rudy goes and shakes Cecilia to wake her.}

Jack : "Where are we?"

Cecilia : "The place of the seal. Guardijeff said he would lead us here.
          But... It doesn't seem like there's anything here... Mother... That's
          the last thing I heard before I fainted..."

Jack : "You're saying the demon boss is buried somewhere around here?
       I don't like this... Not at all... Being dragged everywhere by the
       Guardians and having to save the world..."

Cecilia : "What is this? ..."

*All of a sudden, Cecilia noticed she was holding three stone slabs.

Earth Rune acquired.

Fire Rune acquired.

Wind Rune acquired.

Cecilia : "These slabs contain the spirits of Guardijeff and the other
          Guardians. What is this seal that the Guardians are willing to risk
          the last of their strength to protect?"

================================
= 1.09] Baskar and Mount Zenom =
================================

{Rudy, Jack, and Cecilia finds a small village, northwest of where they are.
They learn that this is Baskar Village. They go to the house where the Village
Chief stays and talks to him.}

Baskar Chief : "I've long forgotten my name, but I am the leader of the Baskar
               people. I've foreseen your arrival in my dreams. Listen, warriors
               of the Guardians. As you know, our mortal enemy, the demon Race,
               is approaching. They are after the Guardian statue in the Zenom
               Mountains. In order to conquer Filgaia, they must destroy the
               three Guardian Statues that hold the three broken pieces of
               their Queen's heart. During the war 1000 years ago, the demon
               Queen's heart was torn into three pieces and sealed three
               separate Guardian Statues. They are planning an all out attack
               after the revival of their Queen. Zenom Mountain is to the north
               of here. Go, warriors of the Guardians, and protect the Guardian
               Statue. I believe that you're the callers of [Zephyr], the west
               wind of hope. Go visit the [Wind Caller's Altar]. The guard
               there should be of some help."

{The party goes north, to the Altar.}

Guard : "Your party was summoned by [Zephyr]. Step up to the Wind Callers Altar
        and summon the west wind..."

{The party climbs the altar.}

Guard : "It looks like the west wind of hope... [Zephyr] is not answering your
        call. [Zephyr] is the name of hope that people have long forgotten.
        [Guardijeff], [Moa Gault], [Fengalon], [Stoldark]... The Guardians'
        names are the real names for earth, fire, wind, and water, which we
        humans have long forgotten... It is not because of the battle with the
        demons, it is us humans who are responsible for the weakening of the
        Guardians. Come back again... The Wind will answer if you become the
        true caller of [Zephyr]."

@BASKAR CHIEF

 Baskar Chief : "The caller of [Zephyr] guards the statue in the sacred
                 mountains to the north."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party runs northwest, to Mount Zenom.}

[Zephyr's] messenger : "I believe you will be victorious!"

{They traverse them mountain. On their way, they dodge falling boulders.}

Jack : "Whew! That was close! I couldn't control my body for a second."

Hanpan : "The bigger they are, the harder they fall. If we hit one of those
         rocks, we're goners."

Jack : "So, of I use my sword from higher up, it will always do more damage?"

Hanpan : "Well, I wouldn't say always, but it wouldn't hurt."

Jack : "Maybe it's worth a try."

*<Fast Draw> hint acquired.

{They move on and examine a large statue.}

Cecilia : "Is this the statue of the God of the Seal?"

{A ray of light comes from the sky and beheads the statue.
Belselk appears, floating.}

Belselk : "It's too late! We undid the..."

Jack : "Belselk?!"

Belselk : "So, you got here before me... Oh well, it doesn't matter...
          Orga Widow, go play with them!"

{They battle and defeat Orga Widow.}

{The statue glows.}

The power inside grows weak...
The seal cannot provide me with a link to the girl...

Summit Rune acquired.

Cecilia : "The statue of the God Seal has been broken. The return of Mother is
          becoming a reality! I can't believe the [Tear Drop] is being used
          for such horrors."

Jack : "There are two more statues left. We must defend them. Give me the
       [Power]... The [Power] I need to defeat them. The [Power] to destroy
       everything!"

{The party returns to the entrance of the dungeon.}

Guard : "Just now, I have felt the seal holding the Queen of the demons break.
        Messenger of [Zephyr], please notify the elders of the situation. We
        must act quickly."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Meanwhile, in the demons' HQ.}

Mother : "It's dark... I can't see... I can't hear anything... My precious
         Zeik... My children... Let me see you.. Let me hear you..."

{An armored demon enters.}

Zed : *laughing* "That was so easy... All this talk about seals... Who cares
      about the Quarter Knights! Now that Mother is awake! I can go on with my
      career. Glory's up ahead!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party returns to the Baskar Chief and talks to him.}

Baskar Chief : "I can feel that the seal has been broken. The demons are one
               step ahead of us. Do not be alarmed. There are two other seals
               which have not been broken. The other two statues are located
               at [Saint Centour] and [Port Timney]. If we can save just one of
               those, then we can prevent the queen from reviving. Only your
               brave party can accomplish the mission. You must use [Elw
               Pyramids], for they are the link to the Guardians. You can
               usually find the pyramids in the same area the statues are kept.
               It is said that all life can be transported to faraway places
               through the use of Elw technology. Warriors of the Guardians,
               please take this gift, the [Kizim Fire] of Baskar! You can use
               this to light the furnace in the pyramid. For the good of all
               life on Filgaia, please protect the remaining statues."

Kizim Fire acquired.

==========================================
= 1.10] Saint Centour and the Cage Tower =
==========================================

{The party goes Northeast to the Elw Pyramid. There, they place the Kizim
Fire on an ancient mechanism.}

*The Kizim fire has been lit. The Elw Pyramid is filling with strange energy.

{Rudy & co. step on a green pad and gets teleported on another Elw Pyramid.}

Stoldark : "This land contains the [Holy Statue], which seals the evil heart!

{The party leaves the Elw Pyramid and runs south to Saint Centour.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{They tried to pass the gate but it seems that a barrier pushes them out.}

Jack : "Wh... What? I was pushed away..."

{A man comes from the town.}

Man : "Sorry, we thought you guys were monsters! The town of Saint Centour is
      protected by a dimensional protection seal. The entire town wall is a
      charged barrier. It keeps the monsters out. Are you sure you guys aren't
      monsters?"

Hanpan : "I wonder if I triggered the device?"

Jack : "Why would you get caught in the device?"

Man : "The shield is very sophisticated. It will stop spirits as well as
      monsters. Is that a pet of yours?"

Hanpan : "I'm not a damn pet! Jack and I are..."

Jack : "Hanpan and I are partners... ...Can we come in?"

Man : "Then hold him deep inside your pocket and step through. That way, you
      won't trigger the device. That is, if you're not a monster... If you are,
      you'll be stopped again."

{The man re-enters the town. The party are able to enter now.
Some of the townspeople are talking about abductions happening recently.
They talk to guy inside a house.}

Man 2 : "According to my records, about 30 percent of our population has been
        abducted. Strangely enough, most of the abductees were found near the
        [Cage Tower]. If you [Dream Chasers] want to check out the tower in my
        place, I can give you the key that opens the sealed door. I have to
        stay at Saint Centour and protect the people here. Will you do it?"

-> NO

 Man 2 : "Well, if you change your mind... Right now, I have to look into these
        abductions..."

-> YES

Man 2 : "Thanks a lot. Whatever treasures you find in the tower are yours.
         This is the [Key Plate] for the Cage Tower."

Key Plate acquired.

Man 2 : "Good luck... I hope your investigation will lead to a solution to
         the abductions."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party reaches Cage Tower, east of Saint Centour. They use the key plate
on the locked door. They move on till they reach the top of the Cage Tower.
In there, they stepped on a green plate and got trapped inside a
magical barrier.}

{Alhazad appears from nowhere.}

Alhazad : "So, you're the humans working for the Guardians..."

Jack : "You!!!"

Alhazad : "The statue, in the human town, will be destroyed. Unlike Belselk,
          I don't like making a mess out of things. I'm going to need a few
          minutes to complete my experiments in town. Here, you guys can play
          with my friend. I promise, you won't be disappointed."

{Alhazad disappears and summons Night Gaunt. The party defeats it, however,
they still have to figure out how to escape the barrier.}

Cecilia : "The statue is in danger! We must get out of here!!"

Jack : "I wonder what Alhazad meant by [experiment]? Can we do something about
       this barrier?"

{A blonde girl and his butler enter the scene.}

A Girl : "Do you know of the Night Gaunt? Is it in this tower?"

Servant : "Yes, I understand..."

A Girl : "So... This is the evil Night Gaunt?"

Servant : "These people are just like us. They're bounty hunters. They
          apparently killed the Night Gaunt. Master, what should we do?"

Jack : "Yeah! Do something, will ya!"

A Girl : "So, you want to get out, huh? How much is it worth to you? You have
         my bounty and I need the cash."

Cecilia : "Money? You want money! We're trying to save the world and you're
          asking for money..."

A Girl : "Give me a break! I don't give a damn what you're trying to save!
         All I care about is money... It's as simple as that."

Jack : "Damn it! How much do you want?"

A Girl : "Hmm... How about 2000 gella?"

Jack : "There no way we can pay that much."

A Girl : "Like I said, I really don't care.. Do you want out or not?"

-> Don't pay

 A Girl : "Nothing is going to happen if you stay there, you know... One more
          time... Pay 2000 or stay in there?"

-> Pay

A Girl : "That's more I like it. Watch this..."

{The girl fires an ARM to one of the pillars holding the barrier.
The barrier disappears.}

Jack : "Just like Rudy, she uses an ARM."

A Girl : "I'm Jane Maxwell. I'm known locally as the most beautiful woman here,
         next to my sister."

Servant : "She's known as, Calamity Jane in some parts."

Jack : "This little girly is Calamity Jane!?"

Jane : "What's wrong with being a little girl?! Don't tell them anything,
       McDullen!"

McDullen : "Excuse me."

Jane : "Where is my money? We had a deal, remember?"

*Handed over 2000 gella!

Jane : "A deal is a deal. Don't hate me... See ya!"

{Jane and her butler leave. The party leaves, as well.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party runs back to Saint Centaur. There's no people in the town, except
for a blind girl inside a house on the southwest. The town is infested with
monsters. The party goes to the house where they found the guy who gave them
the Key Plate. There's a bloodstained diary on the desk.
They read the last entry.}

"As I lie here wounded, I know that my time remaining here is not long. The
monsters appeared all of a sudden... Out of nowhere... Did the dimensional
protection seal not operate? The monsters' numbers increased as the people
watched in horror... Those bastards went straight for the statue... They
destroyed the statue and then turned on the people... Is it true that a piece
of the heart of the Demon Queen was sealed in that statue?"

{The party goes near the ruined statue of the Guardian.}

Cecilia : "The statue is speaking directly into my mind."

"I am the sacred spirit, [Ione Paua]. My powers are weakening. Take what I have
left and use it against the demons."

Saint Rune acquired.

Cecilia : "Another piece of the Demon Queen's heart has been released.
          There's only one left. Let's hurry to the town of Timney...
          We must reclaim the [Tear Drop] before they use it to wake their
          Queen."

Jack : "The entire town is empty. Everyone just disappeared."

Cecilia : "The demons must have done this... All this just to get at the
          statue."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Meanwhile, the Quarter Knights are gathered before the Demon Queen's cocoon.}

Mother : "I can hear the voice of pain. The voice of sadness... I can feel
         the screams of the human fools for releasing me from these cursed
         chains..."

Zeikfried : "We are almost there. Filgaia is practically ours!"

Alhazad : "I'm still concerned about the humans who contacted the Guardians."

Lady Harken : "You screwed up again? Not once, but twice. I think these humans
              are too much for you to handle. Why don't you let me take care of
              them. I'm sure I can accommodate them."

Belselk : "Damn you! Arrrgh! Just you wait!"

Zeikfried : "Stop it, Belselk! She's right, you know... The Elws and the Humans
            have shown abnormal abilities when pushed into a corner. We cannot
            afford any mistakes until the revival of our Photosphere and Lord
            Mother is completed."

Belselk : "Not you too, Zeik! I'll show you... I'll show everyone what Belselk
          can do. I will bring the heads of those humans and line them up right
          here. Guardians or now, they are history!"

{Belselk leaves.}

Alhazad : "You have such a temper my fellow duke. Here, let me see what I can
          do..."

{Alhazad disappears.}

Lady Harken : "Do what you like..."

{Lady Harken jumps away.}

Zeikfried : "It's been 1000 years since we came here. The loss of our home
            world, Hiades... We came to this planet to make it our home...
            Power rules all. This place will belong to us. Only then will
            we..."

=========================================================

{The party heads to an Elw Pyramid, south of Cage Tower. They step on the
portal and it transports to another Elw pyramid near Port Timney.}

Stoldark : "This land contains the [Lightning Statue], which seals the evil
           heart!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party heads to Port Timney. At the bar, there's a guy called Captain
Bartholomew who seems troubled. The party talks to him.}

Bartholomew : "I can't believe the mess I've gotten myself into... If I don't
              stop drinking, it's going to get the better of me. The [Crystal
              Bud] is in the [Maze of Death]. I hear there are many monsters
              in that place. Who am I going to get to find the entrance in the
              desert to the west and retrieve the [Crystal Bud]? Drake's going
              to have a field day when he finds out. Ever since I found that
              Guardian statue, weird things have been happening."

Jack : "The statue this drunken fool is talking about... Could it be...?"

Cecilia : "The statue is here, I know it... We must get this [Crystal Bud]...
          Then we may get a chance...

@BARTHOLOMEW

 Bartholomew : "Pride forces me to get the [Crystal Bud]... I made Drake believe
               I was getting married and that I would...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{To the west lies the ruin called the [Maze of Death]. The party finds it and
enters. They move on till they find the [Crystal Bud].}

*It looks like a flower. A crystalline mist covers it.

Crystal Bud acquired.

*The whole temple is shaking! It's starting to crumble!

{The party needs to escape the dungeon before it collapse. They go on a detour
and battles Chaos. They defeat the boss.}

"[Death], it isn't the end, but a new beginning... Our civilization, bound
by chaos, has turned your world into a [Temple of Death], where nothing
survives. Innocent One... Release me from this land and use my powers to
revive the dying land of Filgaia!"

Death Rune acquired.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party leaves the [Maze of Death] and goes back to the pub, carrying
the [Crystal Bud]. They show it to Bart.}

Bartholomew : "You have the [Crystal Bud]? I need it really bad. I can't
              explain it right now. Will you sell it for 5000 gella?"

-> NO

 Bartholomew : "Please, I need the [Crystal Bud]! You will be doing this sailor
               a great honor. 5000 gella?"

-> YES

Bartholomew : "The [Crystal Bud] is a token of engagement in these parts. I'm
              a fish out of water when it comes to these things. It's nice to
              meet you. I'm Capt. Bartholomew."

{A bunch of sailors enter the pub.}

Drake : "Hey Bartholomew! Short as usual, eh?!" (That's a [Crystal Bud]!!!
        When did you...)

Bartholomew : "Good timing, Drake... Care to smell my [Crystal Bud]?"

{Bartholomew's men laugh.}

Drake : "Don't get me wrong Barthy, but even if you have the [Crystal Bud], you
        still need a mate... Where do you think you're going to find someone to
        marry your ugly mug?"

{Drake and his men laugh.}

Bartholomew : "Are you blind?! She's standing next to me! You dumb baboon..."

{Bartholomew drags Cecilia to her. Drake and his men laugh.}

Drake : "Oh, her...? I didn't notice. She looks way older than your preferred
        age group."

Bartholomew : "Of course, her! I'm sorry she's above your normal standards...
              I mean, having two legs and all. We're getting married soon."

{Drake laughs out loud. His men are ROFL.}

Drake : "Good! We'll hold the wedding tomorrow then. Okay?"

{Drake and his men laugh.}

Drake : "OK, there you have it... I look forward to tomorrow's festivities."

{Drake and his men leave.}

Bartholomew : "I did it again... Me and my big mouth..."

Jack : "Ha ha! What in the world are you going to do now old boy?"

Cecilia : "Excuse me... but we're on our way... to..."

Bartholomew : "We must go through with it. The wedding... I must deceive them
              or I'll be laughed out of town."

Cecilia : "No... You don't mean... You shouldn't lie, you know... I can't..."

Bartholomew : "It's too late! You're in on this till the end. Either way, they
              will think you were in on my scheme. I shall give you the tour of
              my ship, [Sweet Candy]! We must plan for tomorrow."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party is aboard the ship, Sweet Candy.}

Bartholomew : "So, we're finally on my ship, Sweet Candy." There are many
              special rules the sailors of the Inner Sea must follow. One rule
              is for the groom to provide a place for the ceremony to occur.
              Don't look at me, I feel guilty too. Well, the fake wedding is
              tomorrow, regardless. You guys read up on our customs by
              tomorrow, okay."

{The party is taken to their room.}

Cecilia : "I don't like this! We're here to look for the statue, not to get
          mixed up in all of this."

Jack : "Give it up, Princess! Because of this, we were able to get onboard the
       ship. This is the only way to get to the statue."

Cecilia : "I think you're having too much fun."

Jack : "The wedding is tomorrow. Shouldn't you be reading up on the [Rules] or
       something?"

{The party gathers information from the crew. Then they go to sleep.}

The busy day begins.

{The wedding ceremony has started. Everyone is gathered on Sweet Candy's deck.
A priest is in from of them. During this scene, pretty Cecilia are given
options where she must choose one in order proceed with the ceremony. Correct
choices are marked with "~" while the wrong ones are marked with a "-".}

 Bartholomew : "Good acting...

 Bartholomew : "No, Cecilia. I'm very particular...

???? : "Stop, right there."

{Everyone looks around to see who's talking. Everyone points to a green-haired
(man) standing on the bow of the ship, in front.
His scarf goes with the wind.}

???? : "Ha ha ha! I have it this time..."

{The (man) strikes a pose.}

???? : "My name is Zed. I will hack the statue into pieces with my blade."

Jack : "The statue of the seal! Is he one of the demons?"

Zed : "I'm feeling great today... And so does my blade, heh!"

{Zed jumps down. Drake and his men run to the back.}

Cecilia : "He's lively, all right!"

Jack : "No, he's just dumb."

Zed : "You, so-called warriors, will die before your sacred statue."

{The party enters battle.}

Zed : "Come now! It's my debut!"

{The party fights Zed. After a while...}

Zed : "Hey! This isn't fair! It's three on one... Well, next time it will be
      one one one."

{Zed jumps away.}

Zed : "You may have won this time. Next time, it won't be so easy."

Jack : "I'm glad we fought well against that fool. We saved the statue."

{Some men from the back gets their attention.}

Man : "Oh no! Here too!!"

{Everyone is in panic. The party heads to the back to where the statue is.
There stands Lady Harken.}

Lady Harken : "So... I have to work after all."

Jack : "That fool was a decoy!"

{Lady Harken shows her scythe.}

Jack : "Geez..."

{Jack brings out his sword and attacks but it is futile.}

Lady Harken : "So, you're an expert with Fast Draw, huh? Ha, it looks like a
              Fat Draw than a Fast Draw."

{Lady Harken cuts the statue in half.}

Lady Harken : "You don't deserve to die by my hands..."

{The demon jumps away. The party checks the statue as it releases its
remaining power.}

"Even if the seal is broken, my wishes will be carried out by the Innocent One.
Take my power and let the battle begin. I am [Nua Shacks] and I will fight by
your side."

Thunder Rune acquired.

Cecilia : "The last of the seals has been broken. We can not stop the
          resurrection of the Mother. The [Tear Drop] my mother gave me is
          going to be used to destroy the world... No, I can't let that happen.
          It's my duty to reclaim the [Tear Drop]."

Jack : "Lady Harken... Does she also use a Fast Draw..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party goes to Bartholomew's cabin and talks to him.}

Bartholomew : "Greetings, my friends... I must apologize. Somehow, the wedding
              was called off, but we were still able to fake it all. I heard
              you guys were looking for a statue... This isn't a statue, but
              take it as a token of my appreciation."

{The party receives some items. How much its value depends on how well Cecilia
answered the questions by priest on the ceremony.}

Bartholomew : "The Magic Wand is a very interesting item. If you hit an
              animal's head with it, you'll be able to understand what they're
              saying. I'm sure you'll find a use for it. We are ready for
              departure at the docks. We can leave for Port Timney at any time
              now. Are you ready?"

-> NO

 Bartholomew : "Okay, I'll be waiting here. Let me know when you're ready to
               go."

-> YES

Bartholomew : "Okay, we'll depart at once!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Rudy, Jack, and Cecilia are taken back to Port Timney. They try to leave the
town.}

Stoldark : "What we were afraid of has just become a reality... The Queen
           Mother, Lord of the Demons, has risen from her deep sleep. The seal
           no longer holds back the ripples of darkness from spreading. This
           will be the last transmission of my thoughts... Warriors and
           Innocent One, go to the source of the ripples of darkness. The
           final battleground is the snow-covered Demon Castle in the far
           northern plains."

Cecilia : "The voice is thinning... The waking of Mother is overcoming the
          Guardians' powers..."

Jack : "The northern edge of Filgaia. Did he say the snowy plains? That's it!
       The demons are living in Arctica! My vengeance is about to be fulfilled!
       We must look for a way north!"

Cecilia : "Jack..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mother : "I can see... What a wonderful wasteland. Where life is in its last
         whisper... The vision on our eyes. All the bloodshed... All the
         tragedies... Not a nightmare, but a beautiful reality...

{Zeikfried appears from the ground.}

Zeikfried : "The [Tear Drop] was potent... How ironic that the life force of
            Filgaia gives life to its destroyer..."

{The rest of the Quarter Knights appear to witness the completion of Mother.}

Mother : *laughs* "My little Zeik and all my children... Thank you for
         awakening me from the eternal stillness."

Zeikfried : "We, the Quarter Knights, have waited long for your awakening."

Mother : "You can relax now, my children. I am here... We shall bring
         humbleness to this place called Filgaia. Life will end and we will
         prosper. Destruction to all life. Beauty lies in complete
         destruction." *laughs*

Zeikfried : "Is that when we get to rule the world?"

Mother : *laughs* "Rule? Order? What do those things have to do with me!
         Filgaia will end up just like the other worlds I've been to. The flame
         of life is the most beautiful at its scattering end.. The end of a
         planet is the ultimate beauty supplied by the universe."

Zeikfried : "You're saying we're not fighting to win a second home here on
            Filgaia? Then, to win back our last home?"

Mother : "Hiades was only my last stop... You were only newborns at the time...
         I saw the magnificent fall of that planet with my own eyes."

Zeikfried : "So, what will we do after we destroy Filgaia?"

Mother : "Do not worry, my child. I shall complete the beauty myself by
         devouring all that is left here... You will be burned in the eternal
         flames of your own mother's appetite! No other heaven exists in the
         universe." *laughs*

{Rudy, Jack, and Cecilia start looking for a way to the north. They start
by using the Elw Pyramid, south of Port Timney. They are teleported near
Milama. Thy head east to the Sand River.}

Monkey : "Hey, a human that speaks my tongue! Come with me, I'll show you the
         way."

{The monkey shows them a hidden passage. They follow it.}

C@MONKEY

 Monkey : "This cave has a river of sand. The trick is not to fight the flow.
          But don't get lost..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party comes to the town known as the [Ship Graveyard]. It is known
by the name because the Inner Sea currents bring a lot of debris from
shipwrecks into the shores of the town. The party finds themselves in 
the residence of a former [Dream Chaser] named Dan.}

Dan : "I left Anna there, at the [Pleasing Garden]... I was a hotshot
      [Dream Chaser] back then... I was after this sword called the [Guardian
      Blade]... Out of lust for the sword I... I... My wife Anna... As you can
      see, I can no longer walk. Will you please retrieve my wife's bracelet
      from the [Pleasing Garden]? I want to give my wife a proper burial..."

@DAN

 Dan : "The [Pleasing Garden] is where the dimensions meet. It's a dreadful
       labyrinth. You [Dream Chasers] are my only hope. Please retrieve my
       wife's bracelet..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Rudy, Jack, & Cecilia explore the [Pleasing Garden]. On their way, they
encounter and defeat a Gigamantis.}

{Moving on, the party checks out a yellow light.}

"This is the world of mirages. The curving light and the endlessness...
Free me from this prison of mirages, Innocent One... Let the power of
light show this world some shadows!"

Flash Rune acquired.

{They move further on till they find the bracelet that Dan wants.}

*The bracelet is emitting a sad light...

Bracelet acquired.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party returns to Ship Graveyard and talks to Dan.}

Dan : "Thank you. This is the bracelet I gave to my wife... You found it for
      me in the [Garden]? If only we had the sense to distinguish between
      [courage] and [stupidity]... My wife's death taught me a harsh lesson
      about what's truly precious."

Jack : "[Courage] and [stupidity]..."

Dan : "Many think that [courage] is power. Real power is when you surpass your
      own desires to protect something dear..."

*[Courage] slowly builds up inside Jack.

*Sonic Vision Force acquired.

{Outside, two men are talking to each other.}

Man 1 : "So, the merchant ship is here... Now we can cross the Inner Sea."

Man 2 : "The tide washes up debris from all over the Inner Sea. Just recently,
        the remains of a ghost ship washed up on the beach."

Man 1 : "A ghost ship? We can't go yet. Let's check things out..."

{The men goes to check things out.}

that Bartholomew is also there. They talk to him.}

Bartholomew : "You guys seem to appear when I need you. My soulmates! Can you
              guys give me a hand again? Pleeaase? I want you to get rid of
              this ghost ship that's frightening everyone at the port. If you
              can succeed, people at the port will be happy again. we'll be able
              to resume trade. Of course, you'll be known as the
              [Dream Chasers] who saved the port! You see, it's a win win
              situation. Isn't this a great plan? Hey, no hurry... You need to
              make some preparations first. Come back when you're ready."

{The party gets ready. They return to Bart.}

Bartholomew : "We are ready. Shall we go?"

-> NO

 Bartholomew : "Hey, what's the matter? Let's get going."

-> YES

Bartholomew : "Okay, we'll transfer from [Sweet Candy] to the ghost ship."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party is taken to the Ghost Ship.}

Bartholomew : "Come back to the boat if you get into trouble. We will be
              waiting here."

{The party explores the ship.}

*A log book. Read it? There is a piece of paper folded in the book.

"The stuff is behind a hidden door... No one knows about the hidden switch on
the side of the bed!"

{They leave the room and goes to another, there they examined a skeleton
near a bed.}

Skeleton : "We are men of the sea, pirating and smuggling is our life.
           We'll still be able to fight, even if we get shaved down to our
           bones."

{The party defeats the skeleton. Moving on, they reach the left side of the
ship's deck. There, they find a wandering soul.}

Captain Geist : "The dead will roam the wasteland now. Celebrate our glory
                with your lives..."

{The party defeats the ghost. They return to the [Sweet Candy].
There, they watch the [Ghost Ship] sink.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{They are taken back to Ship Graveyard.}

Bartholomew : "You guys helped me not once, but twice. My pride and honor tells
              me to give you the use of my ship. This will allow you to travel
              the Inner Sea. By the way... Why are you guys traveling around
              Filgaia, anyway?"

*They told Bartholomew the entire story. The Demons, the Guardians, the stolen
 [Tear Drop]...

Bartholomew : "Wow, I had no idea something like that was happening... But it
              sounds exciting... Let me and the [Sweet Candy] take care of the
              sea."

Tom : "Captain... I have a favor to ask... I'm from Adlehyde and the town was
      destroyed by monsters. I want to go and rebuild it."

Bartholomew : "That's right, you were an architect... Don't worry about us.
              We'll be fine. Go and rebuild your town."

Tom : "Thanks for everything. I'm in your debt!"

{Tom leaves.}

Bartholomew : "He is a very talented person. He'll probably make Adlehyde
              better than it was before. Okay, we'll make preparations for
              departure. We'll meet you at the beach, outside of town."

=========================================

{Rudy, Jack, & Cecilia find themselves in Rosetta Town. They learn that
the mayor is currently ill and the townspeople blame an Elw girl living in a
house southeast of the town. They go and see a little flower beside her house.}

Cecilia : "Pretty flowers... I didn't know that beauty like this still
          existed in Filgaia..."

{The Elw girl leaves the house and sees the party.}

Elw Girl : "Hey... Do you like flowers?"

Cecilia : "Are these your flowers? They're beautiful."

Elw Girl : *nods* "I'm different from you. I'll get you in trouble if I talk
           to you..."

Jack : "You're an Elw, aren't you? I met your kind before, in a ruin...
       Although, it was only a holographic projection..."

Cecilia : "I learned that all of the Elw disappeared after the war with the
          demons... But here you are in front of me..."

Elw Girl : "I'm... I'm the only one left in Filgaia... I'm all alone..."

Jack : "What do you mean alone...?"

Elw Girl : *goes near the flower* "I have to pay penance here. That's why I
           could not leave here with the rest of them."

{Three kids runs near them. They seem to be enjoying themselves.}

Kid 1 : "Hey, gimme that thing! We want to play with it now!"

Kid 2 : "Give it to me!"

{The Elw Girl goes behind Rudy.}

Jack : "What a bunch of rat-faced kids. The three of them against one girl."

Kid 3 : "That's an Elw. You'll be cursed!"

{Rudy intimidates the kids.}

Kid 1 : "Hey, what... Our father is the mayor of this town!!"

Kid 1 (?) : "You're gonna be cursed."

{The kids run away.}

Elw Girl : "Why did you do that for me? No one has been nice to me in a long
           time... I'm supposed to be alone forever..."

{That night...}

Mariel : "Thank you for your help today. Those boys always mess up my flowers."

Cecilia : "You have nice flowers. You must like them a lot."

Mariel : "These flowers possess strength as well as beauty... They come up
         through the hard ground... I love that strength."

Jack : "Are you trying to bring back the greenery in your own way? That's real
       strength... Strength a person like myself can't manage."

Mariel : *shakes head* I'm not strong... I'm a... The father of those boys has
         a grave illness. I know the cure... I kept quiet because... An herb
         called the [Arnica] grows in the forest to the south. The [Arnica]
         will cure his illness. I was afraid they'd do terrible things to the
         forest, so I kept silent..."

Cecilia : "You'll be strong with friends. Let's go to the forest and get some
          of that [Arnica] tomorrow."

{Mariel nods.}

{The next day...}

Mariel : "The [Arnica] is in one of my flower fields."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party heads to the Forest Mound, south of Rosetta. They find the
Arnica there.}

*The herb is full of energy.

Mariel : "This is the [Arnica] herb. It should heal the Mayor's sickness."

{The three kids from yesterday come.}

Kid 1 : "Hey, there is an excellent playground in the middle of the forest!"

Kid 2 : "Let's make this our fort!"

Kid 3 : "It's ours for sure!!"

{Mariel goes near the kids.}

Kid 1 : "This is our playground. Get out!"

Mariel : "Please... These are important herbs. Don't abuse them."

Kid 1 : "I said move! Do you understand?"

{The Kid tries to get through, but Mariel blocks his way. The kid
pushes Mariel.}

Kid 1 : "Aaahhg..."

{Rudy hits the kid.}

Kid 1 : "You hit me! I'm the Mayor's son!"

Jack : "Mariel came to pick these herbs for your father."

Cecilia : "Both the Elws and humans live in Filgaia. Why should we fight each
          other, when demons threaten both of us..."

Kid 1 : "I don't understand... I was told human history contained many battles.
        What's wrong with the strong leading the weak? You [Dream Chasers]
        possess the power to fight. So, don't be hypocrites!"

{The kids leave the mound.}

Jack : "It's okay, now. Don't be afraid..."


Mariel : *shakes head* "I'm confused. No one has ever been nice to me. I don't
         know what to do."

{Rudy picks up the herbs.}

Herb Arnica acquired.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Rudy, Jack, Cecilia, & Mariel head back to Rosetta town, into the Mayor's
house. Mayor Hernandez is in bed.}

Mayor Hernandez : "The Elw brought healing herbs? Don't be ridiculous! Rumor
                  has it the Elw cast a spell on me to make me sick."

Cecilia : "You should ask the people spreading these rumors how hard she fought
          to get these herbs for you. We met your sons at the south forest, 
          they should know... Let's go Mariel! Now you have a strong heart!"

{The party leaves the Mayor's house.}

Mariel : "I have to water my plants... I have a feeling that I can change the
         world like you said..."

{Mariel heads back to her house. The party tries to leave the town when
they encounter Calamity Jane and her butler, McDullen.}

@MCDULLEN

 McDullen : "The mistress wants to speak with you..."

Jane : "I have an interesting proposal. Will you listen?"

-> NO

 Jane : "Don't let me down."

-> YES

Jane : "Much better! Here it goes... There is a ruin called the [Volcannon
       Trap] at the west edge of the Inner Sea. Rumor has it that the
       [Guardian Blade] used in the ancient war 1000 years ago may rest there.
       I wonder why people's interest in that sword packed up all of a sudden.
       I came to see if you would join my search. I want the treasure in the
       [Volcannon Trap] and you want the [Guardian Blade]... We would make a
       good team, don't you think?"

-> NO

 Jane : "You're not going to give up on the [Guardian Blade], are you?"

-> YES

Jane : "Leave the [Volcannon Trap] key to me... Just take care of the monsters,
       okay?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party leave the town and goes to Volcannon Trap. The dungeon is in
an island, northwest of Ship Graveyard. Once in there, a locked door welcomes
them.}

Jane : "We have the [special key] to open this door."

McDullen : "You sure about this my lady..."

Jane : "Of course! Now, get to it!"

{McDullen places a big bomb in front of the door.}

McDullen : "Okay, my lady!"

Jane : "I got it!"

{Everyone backs away from the bomb; Jane fires her arm to it.
The door gets destroyed from the explosion.}

Jane : "Check this out! Jane does her thang! My work is so flawless and fat
       free... You guys take it from here. I'll take the rear."

McDullen : "So, you want the easy job, my lady."

Jane : "You're damn right!"

{Everyone moves on till they reach the part of the dungeon where they will have
to choose from two staircases. They decide to take the right one first.}

Jane : "Is this the treasure chest?"

McDullen : "It looks like it, my lady..."

Jane : "We have arrived at our destination. We will split up from here."

McDullen : "I shall do my best to find the Guardian Blade..."

@JANE

 Jane : "Easy hunt! Easy bounty! That's my kinda game!"

@MCDULLEN

 McDullen : "My lady is quite excited.

{Rudy, Jack, and Cecilia continue further in the dungeon. They took the
left staircase this time and then move further down. It seems like they
reach a dead end, however, scratching sounds can be heard from the other
side of the wall.}

*There is a scratching sound... What is it?

{The wall breaks down and...Zed comes from the other side!}

Zed : *strikes a pose* "Zed at your service... Thanks for waiting for my
      friends. they are from Filgaia. Let the execution begin. I'm up and
      totally ready to go dude!"

Jack : "Here we go again!"

Zed : "You're the fool who thinks he is a match for me! This time, it's going
      to be different. No sunny breakfast for you tomorrow!"

{Zed and the party enter battle.}

Zed : "You can hear the voices of awe! I'm being praised as the best of the
      best..."

{The party battles Zed until...}

Zed : "Hey, what are you doing? Stop! No, wait! You're getting on my nerves.
      Next time, you won't get off so easily...
      Next time, no more Mr. Nice Guy..."

{Zed disappears. The party moves on through the hole that Zed created.
They meet Belselk on the way.}

Jack : "You again!"

Belselk : *laughs* "That was funny... Alhazad suggested that if we were to
          spread rumors about the Guardian Blade, you fools would show up.
          And you foooools did! Ha! Ha! My stomach hurts from all the 
          laughing... The Guardian Blade you fools are looking for is gone.
          It was lost 1000 years ago. You know the ocean of sand in the middle
          of Filgaia? That's the power of the Guardian Blade. It destroyed
          the demons, the humans and all of Filgaia. In the end, it destroyed
          itself. You took such a long journey for nothing! Ha! Ha! But, you
          don't have to worry about the trip home... I'll take care of that for
          you. I'll bury you guys right here, right now."

{Belselk looks as if he's gathering energy from the surroundings.}

Belselk : "This is the reason why I chose this ruin for our fight..."

{As Belselk gathers energy, it suddenly turned the opposite. Belselk's
powers are being sucked away.}

Belselk : "No way! It can't be... My powers are being drained away..."

{Meanwhile, back in the treasure room. Jane fires her ARM to the pillars
with an orb glowing at the top.}

Jane : "This one is starting to glow too. I'm gonna break it!"

{Jane fires at the pillar.}

McDullen : "If you get any more excited, the ruins will collapse.

{Jane fires at the last pillar. Back to where Rudy & co. is...}

Belselk : "I don't need any help from any enhancing machines... I am a Night
          Crawler! Beware, human!"

{They enter battle.}

Belselk : "I'm getting weak... But, I'll never yield to a human!"

{The party defeats Belselk.}

Belselk : "I lost... I can't believe it!"

{They move further and gets Red Malice from the treasure chest.
They go on their way to leave the dungeon. Meanwhile, In the place
where they defeated Belselk...}

Belselk : "I can't believe I lost to a human. I'll get you next time!"

An Echoing Voice : "How pitiful! You used all your powers and you still lost...
                   And against humans of all things..."

Belselk : "Who was that?... No way!... You're not even a council member!
          Give me a hand, gather my parts and take me back to the Photosphere."

An Echoing Voice : "I have no hand to give to a loser..."

{A boomerang flies from nowhere and cuts what's left of Belselk in half.}

En Echoing Voice : "Climb humans! Climb up here to my level of dreams!"

{The party leaves the dungeon with Jane and her butler. There occurs a sudden
earthquake that causes Jane to trip down and drop her treasures on the floor.}

Jane : "Ouch...Why is there an earthquake here???"

{Jane picks up what she dropped while debris are about to fall on her.
Rudy pushes her out of danger.}

Jane : "Get off me, you idiot! How long do you plan to stay on top of me?"

{Rudy quickly gets off her. Jane stands up and looks at her treasures that
was crushed by the debris.}

Jane : "Hey! You've crushed the treasures! What the hell are you doing? Look
       at this!"

Rudy : "Hey... I'm sorry! Alright! It won't happen again!"

McDullen : "But my lady... Under the circumstances I think that he did the
           right thing. Your safety is the most important thing to me."

Jane : "I know... I know... Don't start on me with that again!"
       *to Rudy* "Thanks for saving my life. Remember! You can't buy a life,
       but there are a lot of other things you can buy in this world."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Rudy & co. leave the dungeon. Meanwhile, inside Photosphere...}

Zeikfried : "Belselk was defeated by the humans."

{Alhazad appears.}

Alhazad: "He ruined the plan I so gracefully gave him... You really can't teach
         an old dog new tricks..."

{Lady Harken shows up.}

Lady Harken : "No need to laugh at his scattered remains. I heard it was a
              death befitting of him. Now that he's gone, we can have all the
              fun..."

Alhazad : "With him gone, we can't call ourselves the Quarter Knights."

Mother : *laughs* "Don't worry, my children! I already have a replacement in
         mind."

{Zed can be seen eavesdropping behind a pillar.}

Zed : *laughing* "Yaaay! My turn has finally come!! With me, the Quarter
      Knights will revive like a phoenix!"

Mother : *laughs* Come Boomerang, show yourself!!"

{Zed looks disappointed as Boomerang, together with Luceid, enters.}

Zeikfried : "No, it can't be... He's known as the [Cannibal]... The
            [Executioner]... A man with reputation should not be joining the
            Quarter Knights."

Boomerang : "To kill other demons was one of my missions. Of course, I didn't
            have any misgivings about that unimportant mission. I do as I
            please..."

Zeikfried : "Mother, this man is not suitable to be a knight!"

Mother : "I cannot listen to you this time, my dear Zeik. Boomerang has a
         mission, you should understand this. I have told Boomerang to
         eliminate the humans guided by the Guardians that are preventing us
         from achieving our goals."

Zeikfried : "I understand, Mother... If you say so..."

Mother : "Oh Zeik! My obedient and dear Zeik."

Boomerang : "Let me handle the elimination of the humans. I would like to see
            if they are worth the trouble. Let's go, Luceid."

{Boomerang and Luceid leave.}

Mother : "I just want to save my strength right now. That's why I sent him
         to go after the human beings. Don't worry, Zeik..."

Zeikfried : "Does that mean that we are going to launch a major attack soon?"

Mother : "Yes, but until then, no one must come near me... Understand Zeik?"

Zeikfried : "I shall activate the Soldelita... It is the ultimate defensive
            barrier. It will keep any intruders from entering. It is the reason
            why our fortress is called the [Photosphere], the sphere of light."

Mother *laughs* "Soon... We shall see chaos and destruction... Soon..."

{The barrier, Soldelita, is activated around the Photosphere.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party is back at Rosetta town. They seem to be saying goodbye to
Jane Maxwell and McDullen.}

McDullen : "What are you folks going to do now?"

Jack : "We have some unfinished business."

McDullen : "Certainly... We'll miss you."

Jane : "We'll see you again. It's a small world."

{Jane and McDullen leave.}

======================================
= 1.15] Tripillar and Giant's Cradle =
======================================

{The party leaves the town and rides the ship to a metallic tower in the
water... A tower called Tripillar. They read the slab in the entrance.}

*There are three roads... Cooperation and trust will bind them into one.

Hanpan : "I think this is showing us how to climb the tower. This must mean
         each of us has to go up separately in order to reach the top. I know
         it sounds dangerous, but we must separate from here on."


{The three go on their separate ways. Jack takes the west teleport and moves
up till he reaches a statue with a blue ball. He goes near it and it lights
up. Meanwhile, Cecilia takes the north teleport. On her way, she encounters
three stone slabs.}

*Behind the doors lies the benevolent stone giant. Deep inside the ground, the
 stone giant waits for the blue heart.

*The blue doors will open, when the three lights merge.

*The golden beast holds the song of the blue heart.

{Cecilia moves up. She also finds a statue holding a blue ball like Jack. The
blue ball lights. Meanwhile, Rudy, who took the east teleport presses upward
till he reach another statue. Once all the blue balls are lit the party are
taken back to the entrance of the dungeon.}

Jack : "Hey, this is the entrance!"

Cecilia : "What strange powers brought us here..."

{The party goes through an unlocked passage. Inside lies a box.
They check it out and the place gets distorted. A voice can be heard.}

"The shrine belongs to me and no one else! May a swift death come their way!"

{A Mage Fox attacks them, however it was horribly defeated. 
The party opens the box.}

Blue Virtue acquired.

{The party leaves Tripillar and journeys to Giant's Cradle.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{As they reach Giant's Cradle, a huge stone door welcomes them.
The door has two holes.}

*A large stone door with a weathered piece of paper next to the small hole.

"Sacrifice the innocent heart to the sleeping giant..."

{They insert Blue Virtue on the left half of the door and Red Malice on the
other half. The door opens. They move inside and read and inscription on
the wall in one of the rooms.}

"This is the crib of eternal sleep. No one must interrupt it."

{They move on, down the desolate ruin till they reach a room with a big thing
in it. There's also an inscription on the upper-left of the room.
They read it.}

"The [Fort of the Gods] is an invulnerable machine protected by a magic seal.
This is where the lines blur between defense and offense."

{They approach the big thing in the middle of the room.}

Jack : "Can it be... Another one sleeps in this desolate ruin."

Cecilia : "It's one of the eight [Powers] from 1000 years ago..."

Hanpan : "A weapon, built by humans to fight the Demon Race. But, what should
         we do now?"

Jack : "We need to figure out how to operate this thing... I know, it's an
       overwhelming feeling!"

Cecilia : "So, the only useful thing this does is fight? Is that what you are
          trying to tell me? We're going to awaken it to fight..."

Jack : "A sword is made for cutting and a spear is for stabbing... Mercy is
       precious, but mercy can also be an indulgence in a world like ours."

Cecilia : "I'm sorry, but..."

Jack : "Let's ask that strange professor, she seems okay."

Hanpan : "You mean Emma, in Adlehyde?"

{The party leaves Giant's Cradle.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party sails to Adlehyde; They go into Emma's house.}

Emma : "You found another golem in the back of the ruin? Please take me there.
       You won't be sorry... I have experience from the Tomb of Lolithia,
       remember... Lucky for you, and lucky for me... Why do I feel like I'm
       the only one talking here... I guess I have the traits of a person born
       to be in charge... Okay, Filgaia Defense Force! Let's go take a look at
       this golem!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Rudy, Jack, Cecilia, & Emma sail to Giant's Cradle. Once in the room where
the Golem is...}

Emma : "I never thought I would see this, while still in my thirtees! Hey you
       guys, this is great! You must have good karma, like me! I'm going to
       check it out. Hey mousy, give me a hand! You look like a candidate!"

Hanpan : "What?! What does that mean?"

{Emma and Hanpan check the golem. After a while...}

Emma : "Here is what I've learned, so far. I call this guy, the [Earth Golem].
       I found some ancient writing on him, pertaining to the [Fort of the
       Gods]. It's written on the shield mechanism, located on both side of the
       arms. Since the ruin is in such good condition, the golem is in perfect
       working order. The thing just stopped working, right now. It's alive.
       Unlike Lolithia, this golem is just sleeping. I've tried to wake it, but
       it needs more than a little shove... Don't worry... When it comes to
       these matters, there's nothing I can't do. Let's go mousy! Try again!"

{Emma and Hanpan work on the Golem. That night, while everyone's asleep,
Cecilia goes to have a talk to the Golem.}

Cecilia : "Why won't you wake up?"

Earth Golem : "Get up? Why? After 1000 years, nothing has changed. People just
              want to use me as a weapon."

{Cecilia walks away and sits on the stairs near it.}

Cecilia : "I was born in a house that was a little different from ordinary
          people. As I grew up, I was looked after every inch of the way...
          What was really important for the people was the symbol I
          represented... Everyone thinks that because I am [Royalty], I am
          expected to act as one. The people only like me because I'm the
          princess. Sorry... I didn't mean to tell you all my problems...
          I thought you might understand... You didn't want to be born as a
          weapon, either."

{The eye of the Golem sparkles. It grunts. Cecilia gets up and looks to it.}

Cecilia : "...?! You can understand me?"

{The Golem makes a noise, which seems like a "yes".}

Cecilia : "No! Everyone wants to use you as a weapon! No one must know that
          you are awake. Please, remain asleep until this is over. 
          If you can hear past my voices... If you can hear the cry of people
          under fire... You must wake of your free own will...

{The eye of the Golem sparks. It creates some noise, releases steam, and 
begins to move. Emma & co. wake up and go near it.}

Emma : "How? I tried everything and nada! You! What did you do?"

Cecilia : "Nothing... I was just talking to it. It decided on its own to get
          up."

Jack : "Who the hell cares! Now we have the [Power]! We have the ancient
       antidote to the demons!"

Cecilia : "No! It's not our weapon! It's joining us as a member of the group.
          Hey guys."

{The golem makes a noise in agreement.}

Cecilia : "See... The Earth Golem is in agreement."

Emma : "The voice pattern of the princess is now registered in the golem's
       memory!"

Cecilia : "Please lend me your big hand for the future! A future where you're
          no longer needed as a weapon."

{The floor where the golem stands raises till it reaches the topmost floor.
It moves out of the Cradle.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Emma : "To ride the Earth Golem, walk to the golem and push the Accept button.
       You can dismount the golem by pressing the Cancel button. It's large
       enough to walk across shallow water but too large to go through a
       forest. The shields on both sides keep enemies away while traveling.
       It's a little low on output. Too bad we can't expect more from it...
       I sure would like to upgrade its shields. It's a defensive golem.
       It's not made for battle, but it can cover a lot of ground. I have to
       get back to Adlehyde to study the data from this discovery. I have a few
       things to try out. it could lead to a new Emma-Motor."

{Emma is taken back to Adlehyde.}

====================================
= 1.16] Court Seim and Epitaph Sea =
====================================

{The party rides the Golem and crosses the shallow waters to enter a
snowy land. They find that it's impossible to enter the Photosphere.
Even the Earth Golem can't penetrate the force field.
So they leave it alone and use the Golem to cross another shallow water to the
south and find a village called Court Seim. It's a village of orphans and
people running from the monsters.}

{The party finds their way into the basement of the northwest house.
There, they encounter a man named Nicholi Maxwell.}

Resident : "I am Nicholi Maxwell. I am the ARMs Meister in this tiny village.
           Long ago, I was one of six who studied at the old man's lab.
           The Zepet Roughnight Laboratory led in the study of ancient
           technology. And you?"

{Rudy looks surprised. He tells Nicholi his name.}

Nicholi : *looks surprised* "What? Rudy Roughnight? You're the old man's
          grandchild? Sorry, we used to call Meister Zepet [the old man]...
          How is he? It's been close to 15 years..."

Rudy starts to talk about his [Dream Chaser] days, before he met Jack and
Cecilia. Zepet Roughnight... He thought of Zepet as his father. He was an
old Dream Chaser who had raised Rudy since infancy. During their travels,
Zepet taught Rudy the life of a Dream Chaser. But most importantly, he gave
Rudy a heart. A heart to protect the ones he loved. One day, the inevitable
happened... The old man's traveling days came to an end. Rudy was now tasting
the true meaning of being alone. Rudy buried the remains of the old Dream
Chaser on a hill that the old man was fond of. The rest is history.

Nicholi : "I'm sorry to hear that... He was... That's quite an ARM you've got
          there! Do you know how to use it properly? I guess the ARM would not
          synchronized with you if you did not know how. My daughter Jane is
          also capable of synchronizing with an ARM, but not nearly as powerful
          as you have here..."

{Jane comes down through the stairs.}

Jane : "Papa, I'm home."

{Jane notices Rudy & co.}

Jane : "What are you guys doing at my house?!"

Nicholi : "Jane, do you know these people?"

Jane : "No, no, Papa! I met them just a little while ago!!"

Nicholi : "...?? Why are you such in a hurry?"

Jane : *backs down a little* "I'll be upstairs. Please, make yourself at home."

{Jane heads upstairs.}

Nicholi : "Jane is a good daughter. It's because of her that I can keep the
          orphanage running. Go to the southeast and cross the shallow water.
          There you will find the [Epitaph of the Sea Wind]. It is an
          uncompleted tower we used in the research of a flight machine.
          The research Meister Zepet and myself left behind may be some junk
          to some, but you might find a use for some of it. Take this key...
          It may look funky, but it will get you inside. Many of Zepet's
          belongings from before Rudy was born are still there..."

Wind-up Key acquired.

{The party leaves the basement.}

@MCDULLEN

 McDullen : "Thank you for what you have done for my mistress. We will be
            holding a humble banquet on your behalf. The mistress is waiting
            for you, I hope you have a good time."

@JANE

 Jane : "Hey! You didn't tell my pops that I'm [Calamity Jane], did you?
        I will never forgive you if you gave him the slightest hint."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party rides the Earth Golem to reach the Epitaph Sea. In there,
they move on till they reach the third floor. The door leading to where
they were from gets locked.}

Jack : "No! The door!"

Cecilia : "Are we trapped?"

Jack : "Someone trapped us in. I'm ready! I'll kick as many butts as I have to,
       to get us out of here!"

{A wolf appears beside them. Cecilia uses her Magic Wand to talk to her.}

The Black Shadow : "Come with me."

{The party follows exactly the route where the wolf passes. They stopped by
a door.}

The Black Shadow : "My master awaits!"

{The path upstairs is unlocked. The wolf disappears.}

Cecilia : "That vibration... It was a Guardian... The only Guardian who has not
          lost its powers... The Guardian of Desire, [Luceid] the black wolf.
          Did she lock us in here?"

{In a room, the party finds a book called "Metal Bird".}

*This book contains theories and applications for the flying machine known
 as the Metal Bird.

{In another room, a control panel asks for a password.}

*.. password? The ones who seek the ocean wind... You shall receive the gift
 of flight!

{The party enters "Metal Bird" as the password. This causes a bookshelf
to move in another room, revealing a path upstairs. They go up and find
Skates, a tool for Rudy. They return down, uses the Skates to get past
the conveyor belt. They move on till they reach the top of the Epitaph.}

An Echoing Voice : "Human warriors! What do you wish to carve in this epitaph?
                   This is the resting place for the dreams of the sea, wind
                   seekers!"

{A demon appears with the wolf they saw earlier.}

Jack : "A new demon? But, this one seems a little different."

An Echoing Voice : "I see that you have followed Luceid's directions well..."

Cecilia : "Luceid?! The Guardian of Desire? Why? Why are you siding with the
          demons?"

{Luceid howls.}

An Echoing Voice : "My name is Boomerang. Here's a little something I've
                   cooked up for your party..."

{The party battles Boomerang and Luceid. They defeat Luceid. 
After dealing considerable damage to Boomerang...}

Boomerang : "Patheic fools, going up against the Demon Race... The cycle of
            desire never ends... Luceid lives..."

{Luceid reappears.}

Boomerang : "If you wish to defeat me, you must attain the miracle you seek.
            If you can win that for yourself, I shall appear again."

{Boomerang and Luceid disappear.}

Jack : "He was just testing us..."

{The party gets Rune Drive from the chest before them.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Rudy & co. returns to Court Seim and talks to Nicholi Maxwell.}

Nicholi : "You found the missing Rune Drive! I never thought that it would be
          hidden at the Epitaph. I'll explain about the Rune Drive tomorrow.
          You must come... My daughter is waiting. We have a little banquet
          for you."

{The time of the banquet arrives. The orphans are present, running around in
the mansion of Maxwell.}

@MCDULLEN

 McDullen : "Is everyone having a good time? When you're ready to call it a
            night, let me know. I will get the beds ready."

@NICHOLI

 Nicholi : "The Rune Drive that you have only works as part of a pair. I have
           the other drive of the pair. We can use the pair to unleash the
           true power of the Earth Golem. I will install them first thing
           tomorrow morning. I was hoping that I would come across something
           that I can do for you."

{Jack/Cecilia talks to Jane.}

Jane : "Hey, can I talk to Rudy? I need to ask him a favor."

{Rudy go talks to Jane.}

Jane : "It's been a while... It's good to see all of you again. Hey, when
        everyone's asleep, can you sneak out for a bit? I have something I need
        to talk to you about."

{The party heads upstairs and talks to McDullen.}

McDullen : "Shall we wrap up the party and call it a night?"

{The party agrees.}

McDullen : "Please wait a minute. Your beds will be ready a little later."

{That night, Rudy sneaks out of the house and finds Jane at the bridge.}

Jane : "I feel bad making you hang out with me just because I couldn't sleep...
       I didn't wake anyone, did I?"

{Rudy nods.}

Jane : "Isn't it silly that [Calamity Jane] became a treasure hunter for a
       bunch of orphans..."

{Rudy shakes head in disagreement.}

Jane : "Thanks Rudy, I knew I could count on you. We used to live in Milama,
       but we spent all our money taking care of the kids. We drifted all the
       way to this desolate place and here we are... I hate this kind of life,
       but what can I do? I hate my father for giving people false hope...
       Kindness and care have no place in this wasteland... He gives people
       hope just to have it shattered by reality... That's cruel... You are
       making this journey to protect Filgaia, right? Why... Why are you
       doing this? For money? For fame? To be a king like in the fairy tales?
       Any of those reasons are fine. Just don't tell me it's for some noble
       cause like saving the world. I dislike it when kindness is thrown at
       just anyone. Kindness should be personally valued and expressed only to
       those you care about. Otherwise... I'm hurt that you saved me just
       because you felt obligated to..."

{The sun rises.}

Jane : "Sometimes I think a day will come when dawn will no longer appear.
       Promise me, Rudy. Promise me that you're risking your life because you
       love Filgaia. That is the reason why you can sacrifice for so much, 
       right? If not, I'll never be able to like you do gooder types."

*Jane's words seep deep inside Rudy's heart.

*[Protector] Force acquired.

{Alhazad appears from nowhere.}

Alhazad : "I tend to run into these situations a lot."

{Rudy goes to shield Jane.}

Alhazad : "I came here this morning because I have a matter to discuss with the
          pretty lady... Could you kindly deliver the [Rune Drive] rumored to
          be in your mansion to us within three hours? If you don't deliver it,
          we'll slaughter everyone in sight in order to find it. Do we
          understand one another? I'll assume you'll make the right decision."

{Alhazad disappears.}

Jane : "Well, we can't just sit here! I must go wake everyone up."

{Jane gathers everyone in town.}

Nicholi : "In the past, I excavated the other Rune Drive from another ruin.
          Just in case, I hid the Rune Drive in the [Sacred Shrine] to the
          south in the forest. A sacred field prevents monsters from entering
          the shrine. We will evacuate everyone to the shrine. Please watch
          over the village for us."

{Rudy nods.}

Nicholi : "Jane, please watch over the people of the village."

Jane : "Gotcha!"

{Nicholi leads the village people to evacuate with Jane at their backs.}

Jack : "It's too quiet... Are the Demons late?"

Hanpan : "There is something wrong here. No one is attacking..."

Jack : "They advertised it enough... What's going on?"

Hanpan : "They didn't know where the [Rune Drive] was... That's why they
         appeared in this village and..."

Jack : "What? What for?"

Hanpan : "The normal reaction to the threat of an imminent attack is to
         evacuate... The safest place? Where would that be?"

Cecilia : "The [pyramid] that controls the dimensions is in the forest to
          the south!!!"

Jack : "Alhazad! He's always one step ahead..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Rudy & co. enter the Sacred Shrine to the south.}

@MAN

 Man : "Someone disabled the defense systems. There are monsters all over the
       place!"

{They explore the area. They find a room where there is a seemingly harmless
dog from the village until they go near it. The dog transforms into a huge 
monster tank called Agaless! The party exterminates it, however.}

@JANE

 Jane : "She was saying something about, the dimensions..."

@MCDULLEN

 McDullen : "How did the monsters get through?"

{The party comes to a room where there are three kids surrounding a nun.
They talk to a boy.}

Boy : "When are we going to be able to get out of here? There may be rats in
      this place... I'm afraid of rats, more than I am of monsters."

{Jack uses Hanpan to scare the boy.}

Boy : "I hate rats! Did you know that?"

{They talk to the nun.}

Nun : "I can't believe we got invaded. The monsters didn't look like they
      forced their way through. They must have figured out a way to get through
      the barrier."

Hanpan : "That reminds me... Something like this happened before."

- The town of Saint Centour.
~ The town of Rosetta.

Hanpan : "That's right, I remember... I got past by..."

~ Going through a secret hole.
- Huddling against your body.

Hanpan : "That means..."

~ Go through undiscovered
- Go through with a human.

Hanpan : "They used the same method as I did to get through the defenses."

- Got in with the humans.
~ Broke the barrier and got in.

Hanpan : "We just saw a dog turn into a monster... I don't want to think
         that..."

- Villager became a monster.
~ Villager sided with monster.

Hanpan : "How could a human turn into a monster?"

Alhazad : "Smart kids! I'll tell you exactly how we do it... We used special
          seeds. These seeds were developed with magic. These seeds don't
          register to the barrier, thus they were able to pass through. After
          they are eaten, the seed will grow inside the body and take it over
          at our command. How perfect can this get? We turned the entire town
          into a giant laboratory. We may be made of different materials, but
          we demons have the same body construction as humans. If you guys
          are [Living Flesh], then we are [Living Metal]. No one can stop us...
          Well, enough talk... I'll have to ask the [Rune Drive] now. I have
          my orders..."

{Jack & co. move on to the treasure room. There's a man guarding it.}

Guard : "I can't let anyone through here. Mr. Maxwell is looking through the
        treasure. Only Lord Alhazad may pass..."

{The man transforms into three Caracenians. (...) The party finishes the
plant monsters and gets through the room. Once inside, they find Alhazad.}

Alhazad : "You guys work too hard. If you had just ignored me, you could
          have gone about your business. I hate you miserable maggots, who
          live by those pitiful beliefs. Your time has come to die. Prepare
          yourselves!"

{The party battles Alhazad. After dealing considerable damage to him...}

Alhazad : "Not bad... Not bad at all. We could use you... We will forget about
          the [Rune Drive], for now... Come to our [Photosphere], we'll give
          you a welcome you'll never forget."

{Alhazad disappears.}

Nicholi : "We were successful in our defense of the [Rune Drive]. They wanted
          the [Rune Drive], an ancient power amplifier. A very powerful
          device. We can use this device to strengthen the golem you're using.
          There's no time for you to do the work alone, let's see if I can
          give you a hand."

{Nicholi unlocks the big chest behind him.}

Nicholi : "There's a source of pure energy in this chest. It's emanating
          from the [Rune Drive]. It can be used for good or evil, depending on
          the user."

{They get the Rune Drive inside the chest.}

Nicholi : "Let's power up this golem of yours."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Everyone returns to Court Seim. The party goes to have a talk with Nicholi.}

Nicholi : "The Rune Drive upgrade the shield mechanism of the Earth Golem. The
          Earth Golem was called the [Fort of the Gods]... The ultimate machine
          created to counter the Demon Race. It may be mankind's last
          fortification. I am an ARMs meister. I learned everything I know from
          old man Zepet."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{FLASHBACK. Outside the town, Nicholi installs the Rune Drive on the Earth
Golem. Rudy & co. looks at it.}

Nicholi : "The two Rune Drives will restore the weakened power output of
          the Earth Golem. Its Anti-phasing shield is at full power. It will
          disintegrate anything that touches it. If you think about it, it's
          the ultimate offensive weapon as well... I don't believe people
          should possess powers beyond their own control. The history of our
          people is to fight for power. With power, there is a chance for
          meaningless destruction. The old man, Zepet used to say... The saga
          can be reversed if the power is used to protect the precious. There
          is a definite difference between the power to acquire and the power
          to protect. I will revive the power of the Earth Golem, for the
          righteous fight of protecting Filgaia!"

{The Golem grunts. END FLASHBACK.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nicholi : "There is said to be a ruin in the snow covered northern mountains
          where a light of illusion guards against intruders. Some say that the
          demons live there, but it's not certain. The Earth Golem should now
          be able to break through the light of illusion that is probably the
          Demon's barrier."

@JANE

 Jane : "Is a world where innocent children and kind people are the first
        to die worth protecting?"

@MCDULLEN

 McDullen : "All the things you love are slipping away from you. There is
            nothing that I can do to help you."

{The party leaves Court Seim.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=====================
= 1.17] Photosphere =
=====================

{The party rides the Earth Golem back to Arctica. They approach the orange
barrier, Soldelita.}

{Rudy & co. lands on the ground.}

Jack : "You sure the Earth Golem can handle this dreaded thing?"

Hanpan : "Watch out for the shield boundaries. If any part of your body touches
         the shield, you'll lose it."

Jack : "Okay... okay... We get the message! You're enjoying this, aren't you?
       Okay princess, do your thing. Tell this guy to neutralize the defenses."

Cecilia : "They are not tools, Jack! Please, Earth Golem, would you help us?"

{The Earth Golem goes near the barrier and destroys it.}

Cecilia : "This is fantastic! This is powerful alright!"

Hanpan : "And they say the [Anti-Phasing Shield] is a defensive weapon!"

Jack : "Let's get inside this thing. The enemy won't stay quiet much longer..."

{The party gets in the Photosphere.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party explores the dungeon, battling monsters in their way. They bomb
some generators, and then move on till they find a room where they can't get
past yet. They return and encounter a blue robed figure,
appearing from the floor.}

Blue Robed Figure : "The [Tear Drop] is this way... What's the matter, don't
                    you want it?"

Jack : "So, you expect us to just follow you! Yeah right! First of all, who
       the hell are you... What do you want?"

Blue Robed Figure : "You're afraid, aren't you...?"

Jack : "Me?! Afraid?!"

Blue Robed Figure : "The one who does not have the [courage] to look at the
                    truth is called a coward. A coward is afraid..."

Jack : "All right then, I'll follow you..."

Blue Robed Figure : "The Photosphere is being prepped for travel. Hurry up and
                    follow me!"

{The robed figure disappears. The door to the North opens. They move along.
The Blue Robed Figure appears again.}

Blue Robed Figure : "I'll tell you the truth. We share a common goal. I have
                    no intention of fighting you people. I need your
                    assistance. We must destroy Mother before the Photosphere
                    burns away all of Filgaia."

{The figure disappears. The north door opens. The continue on till they find
the Tear Drop inside a machine.}

Cecilia : "I am short on words... Mother's heirloom... The warm light... I'm
          so relived..."

Tool [Tear Drop] acquired.

{The robed figure appears.}

Blue Robed Figure : "The Photosphere and the Mother derive their powers
                    from the [Tear Drop]. Now that the power is down, you can
                    attack the Mother. This is your one and only chance,
                    humans. This is as far as I go. If you don't destroy
                    Mother now, your world will suffer the same fate as
                    mine..."

{The Blue Robed Figure disappears.}

Cecilia : "Mother destroyed his planet..."

Jack : "I couldn't care less... We've been dancing in that guy's court all this
       time... Might as well dance the last song. Let's go for it!"

{The party returns to the room where they can't pass earlier.
Now that the Tear Drop has been taken they could get past it.
They move on until they find a room where Lolithia is.}

Jack : "Hey... Long time no see..."

{The golem lights up.}

Cecilia : "The golem is attacking us! I thought..."

Jack : "Maybe it forgot, it has been a thousand years."

{The party fights and defeats Lolithia.}

Cecilia : "I can't believe the golems are on their side..."

Jack : "Weapons only act according to what the user wants. That golem probably
       got reprogrammed. We are different! We can't be reprogrammed."

{The party moves down ahead till they reach a door.}

*There are strange, cold vibrations coming from ahead. Dive in anyway?

{The party decides to enter.}

*A strong jolt! The Photosphere must be on the move...

{The door opens and they enter it. Inside they find Mother. They are ready
for a fight.}

Mother : "I am Mother, Queen of the Demon Race... I have brought countless
         star systems to an end, each full of life... I am the messenger of
         death. Beings of life! Do you come to me for judgment? Do you seek
         the glory of being devoured by a being of such eminence?"

{The party battles Mother. After Rudy & co. deals considerable damage against
Mother...}

Mother : "Humans cannot do this... How terrible... Humans defeating the
         defeater... No, no, no... ...... Yes... The beauty strikes my thought
         for the last time... This the ultimate beauty I can experience...
         The scattering of self! Everything returns to nothing. Light returns
         to darkness..." *laughs* "The Photosphere has fallen into the sea...
         That shock was from the sphere losing control after we let go...
         No one can stop the sphere from sinking now..."

Jack : "We've got to get the hell out of here!"

Mother : "Humans! You are part of this journey to the depth of darkness.
         Enjoy the trip as I am enjoying the poetry of the ending theme! We are
         heading straight for the bottom of the Inner Sea. The Photosphere is
         unstoppable."

{Mother disappears then... Jane appears from the back!}

Jane : "I don't want any part of this!!!"

Jack : "What are you doing here?!"

{McDullen and Captain Bartholomew enters the scene.}

Cecilia : "Captain Bartholomew, McDullen!"

Jane : "Hurry! Or there'll be hell to pay!"

Bartholomew : "This thing came down from the skies! There is water seeping in
              from everywhere! Let's get back to the Sweet Candy! I don't want
              to be fish food!"

{The party runs like hell and escapes the Photosphere.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{They're aboard the Sweet Candy.}

Bartholomew : "I thought we were goners for sure that time..."

Jane : "I was the one who suggested we follow that big ball! It's time I start
       feeling appreciated around here."

McDullen : "You were worried about Rudy."

Jane : "Oh... yeah... I thought that he might... No, no, no, no, no!!
       Where did you get that idea?"

McDullen : "What do they say? A look is worth a thousand words."

Bartholomew : "The boss has been defeated and the princess has what she was
              looking for... Let's party!"

Cecilia : "Finally, I was able to complete my destiny as a princess. Without
          you guys, I wouldn't have been able to do it. Thanks, everyone..."

Jack : "I have some unfinished business to attend to... Defeating Mother was
       not my objective. Jack Van Burace's journey is not over until he
       overcomes his past affairs..."

Voice of Alhazad : "He, he, he, he! You're right, it isn't over!"

{Alhazad, Lady Harken, Boomerang, and Luceid appear.}

Lady Harken : "Don't forget about us!"

{The Blue Robed Figure, from the Photosphere, appears.}

Cecilia : "You... You must be...?!"

{The figure removes his blue robe and reveals a demon in an armor.}

Zeikfried : "Zeikfried, of the Quarter Knights, at your service."

Bartholomew : "Who the hell are you guys?! I never gave you permission to come
              aboard!!"

Zeikfried : *draws his weapon* "This is a warning and a declaration. We will
            take Filgaia. We will completely destroy the Guardians and take
            away your source of power... That will be the end of the human
            race..."

{The Quarter Knights disappear.}

Bartholomew : "I've had enough of those guys! Let's attack them! Don't you
              agree princess? They're determined to rule the world!"

Cecilia : "Let's go back to Adlehyde. We have to plan our next move...

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

=======================

And a few days pass...

{Inside Adlehyde's Conference Room...}

Emma : "Good, everyone is here."

Bartholomew : "What do you want? Why have you summoned us like this? We were
              attacked by some demons today. We have to return the favor."

Emma : "I know... From what I've heard, it sounds like the enemy is stepping up
       their plans... The total annihilate of life on Filgaia and the complete
       destruction of the Guardians' powers... We must keep them from gaining
       the upper hand... That is why I formed E.I.A., the Emma Intelligence
       Agency."

Jane : "That sounds extremely self-absorbed!"

Emma : "Cecilia, Rudy, and Jack will be our main reconnaissance team. The
       captain will provide transportation within the Inner Sea. Your job is
       to gather as much intelligence on the enemy as possible. To win the war,
       we must win the information battle. Any questions? No? Let's get to
       work."

Jane : "What are you going to do Prof. Emma? Director of the E.I.A.?"

Emma : "I will back you up as an ARMs meister. Also... I would like to study
       Zepet's journal on the [Metal Bird]."

Jack : "Is there something interesting in this book?"

Emma : "A thousand years ago, the ability to fly was a reality. There are some
       interesting theories on flight in this book. I would like to study it.
       Can I borrow it? I promise I won't write in it."

{Rudy agrees.}

*Handed over Metal Bird.

Emma : "Wow! This is really inspiring!"

{After a while, Rudy, Jack, and Cecilia are the only ones left in the room.}

Jack : "We got the [Tear Drop] back... There is no need for you to travel
       anymore, Princess. I on the other hand, have some unfinished business
       to attend to."

Cecilia : "Revenge, is it?"

Jack : "......"

Cecilia : "I can't stop now... Something happened to me during our travels.
          I don't know exactly what, but I feel like I have to stay with
          you guys. Rudy... Please take me with you."

-> NO

 Cecilia : "I was preoccupied with trying to get the [Tear Drop] back. Now that
           I have it back, I want to find out what this unresolved feeling is.
           Please, take me with you..."

-> YES

Cecilia : "Thank you, Rudy... You won't regret this."

Jack : "You don't take no for an answer, do you? Well, we've fought together
       and we've accomplished a lot together.

@EMMA

 Emma : "My mentor was a traveling ARMs meister... He was more like a [Dream
        Chaser] than an ARMs meister. He had a lab to the far east
        somewhere..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Rudy & co. goes on to search for information. They stop by Rosetta Town
and talked to the mayor there.}

Mayor Hernandez : "Do you know about the large vortex to the east of here?
                  The strait that joins the Inner Sea and the Outer Ocean
                  is where the Guardian of the Oceans, Lucadia, lives. The
                  entrance to his lair is supposed to be somewhere nearby.
                  Rosetta is suffering from a lack of trade. Ships come through
                  here with reports of dragon attacks. Can you look into this
                  matter on behalf of our village?"

{The party leave the town and boards the Sweet Candy. They sail to the
vortex, east of the town.}

Cecilia : "The [Tear Drop] shines."

Cecilia : "Wow! This is incredible! Lucadia, the Guardian of the Ocean, is
          contacting me through the [Tear Drop]. It's so strong, I can feel it
          with my entire body... It's saying... ...... ...... I understand,
          Lucadia... I'll use the [Tear Drop]."

Jack : "What? What's happening, Princess?"

{Jack, Rudy, and Cecilia gets enclosed in a bubble.}

Bartholomew : "Woooweeee!!! What is this, the mystery spot?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The bubble takes them to a shrine deep under the sea, called Dragon Shrine.
They find a Magic Vase in a bunker.}

Magic Vase tool acquired.

*Magic Vase... When used by Cecilia, it produces an endless flow of water.
 She can use it to put out those difficult fires.

{They press on till they encounter the Sea Dragon.}
 
Sea Dragon : "Welcome warriors... And the Innocent One. I am Lucadia. I am the
             eternal flutist who's music permeates the oceans from the depths
             of the Dragon Shrine. The [Tear Drop], in its rightful hand, 
             called you over here. Mother has been defeated and is now my
             nourishment... Yet the dreams of the Demon Race are not over."

Cecilia : "Tell me, Lucadia. What are they planning to do now? How was
          Zeikfried going to destroy the Guardians?"

Lucadia : "The [Ray Line]... It's the artery of life which connects all of us
          together and maintains all life on the planet. After our strength
          had weakened, we decided to combine our strength through a device
          the Elws had left behind. From inside the [Elw Pyramid], the network
          began to pump life energy throughout Filgaia."

Voice of Lady Harken : "And if we sever this [Ray Line], we can clean this
                       planet for good."

{Lady Harken appears.}

Lady Harken : "I'm not sure about this, Zeik! But, here goes nothing..."

Jack : *draws his sword* Harken!"

Lady Harken : "I came for the big fish. the Sea Guardian. But this is a
              pleasant surprise! I always wanted to fight you again... We are
              meant for each other, you and I... We were both born to fight.
              En guard! Let's see what you've got!"

{The party fights Harken. After dealing considerable damage to her...}

Lady Harken : "I guess I was wrong about you, baby. Go back to the ship with
              a blow from my [Asrael]! What?!... What? I can't move... We're
              going to continue this later, sweetheart..."

{Harken disappears.}

Lucadia : "So, they were after the [Ray Line]. It's not easy to destroy an
          entire planet, even for the demons. Shaman child! Use my powers to
          defend your planet."

Triton Rune acquired.

Jack : "Her sword technique looks just like my Fast Draw... But, it looks a
       little different."

*<Fast Draw> hint acquired.

{The party leaves the Dragon Shrine and returns to the ship. The vortex
is gone and they are able to explore the Outer Ocean.}

=================================
= 1.19] Sailing the Outer Ocean =
=================================

{The party explores the Outer Ocean with the help of the Sweet Candy.
The party finds the Forgotten Ruins. They enter a house.
There is an ocarina on the table.}

Ocarina acquired

*There is a memo located under the Ocarina. 

"[The Giant's Ocarina] will call the registered golem to the controller's 
location. The existence of [Holmcross], the successor to the golem, which was
built during the battles of 1000 years ago, has been confirmed...
Someday, an active golem will be excavated. Then it will be a great chance to
try the Ocarina. I can't wait."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party finds their way to Milama while gathering information.
The talk to the pub owner there.}

Owner : "Busy, busy, busy! I was looking the files my father left...
        I found this thing called the Sanctuary. In this sacred place, they
        worshipped the three Guardians. They were called the Guardian Lords and
        they supposedly represented [Love], [Courage] and [Hope].
        Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out their location, but this is a
        good start.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party finds the Wandering Isle, near a beach south of Court Seim.
They got past the dungeon and heads west to Dead Sanctuary. While
they are exploring the sanctuary, they find some slates.}

*The [Guardian Lords]...
 Long ago, this place was the sacred land for the masters of the Guardians.
 The [Guardian Lords] were the Guardians of [Hope], [Courage] and [Love].
 The omniscient power of the [Guardian Lords] is greatly missed in Filgaia.

*The red glow is a symbol of the Guardian of [Love]. The hot emotion to care
 for another.

*The blue glow is a symbol of the Guardian of [Courage]. The power to heighten
 one's self.

*This is the sacred place where three powers that hold the world together are
 worshipped. The three powers will never crumble. The shattered will is the
 weakness of humans.

*Let [Courage] reside in your right hand, [Love] reside in your left hand,
 and [Hope] reside within...

{Using the knowledge from the slates, the party are able to get past the
puzzles presented to them. They continue on till they find a door with
a Tear Drop symbol engraved on it. Cecilia uses her Tear Drop and goes
inside.}

Voice of Boomerang : "I used to think Guardian hunting was a bit boring,
                     since they lost their gusto."

{Boomerang and Luceid appear.}

Boomerang : "It looks like we might have some fun..."

{The party battles Boomerang and Luceid. They defeat Luceid and deal
considerable damage to Boomerang.}

Boomerang : "You've gotten much stronger. I look forward to seeing how much
            you can improve, humans! Maybe you can take care of my
            loneliness after all..."

Boomerang : "I would like to congratulate you, but... What you have there is
            just a rock. Not much of the old juice is left..."

{Luceid reappears.}

Boomerang : "You cannot defeat me unless you unlock the secret of desire...
            The one controlling the eternal power will always be victorious."

{The duo disappears. They move forward and find three shattered statues.}

*The scattered statue of a goddess.

Goddess Idol acquired.

*The scattered statue of a lion.

Lion Idol acquired.

*The shattered statue of a dragon.

Dragon Idol acquired.

*I can feel the faint powers of the Guardian from the three stone statues.

"We are the fossilized essences of [Courage], [Love] and [Hope], the Lord
Guardian. The thoughts that feed us are nearly gone... We can no longer
materialize."

Cecilia : "What? It can't be..."

"If all the people in Filgaia had thoughts of [Courage], [Love] and [Hope]...
The world would not have fallen. But, the weakness of their thoughts have
brought Filgaia to its knees. I am ready, Innocent One... Our shaman...
The image of us must be in your heart, when you receive this true gift.
Take hold of this, Innocent One, all of the Guardian's energy! Shaman, receive
the truth!"

*[High Guardian] Force acquired.

"Guardijeff, Moa Gault, Fengalon and Stoldark... The Guardians have joined
onto the Innocent One... Bring light to the darkness that has engulfed
Filgaia."

Cecilia : "I can't believe it was our fault Filgaia was weakened.
          [Courage], [Love], and [Hope]... Those ideals were always in my
          heart..."

{The party leaves Dead Sanctuary.}

========================================
= 1.20] Demon's Lab and Gate Generator =
========================================

{Rudy and co. sails to an island where Demon's Lab is situated.
They get inside the lab. Meanwhile, further inside the Demon's Lab,
Lady Harken is standing near a machine.}

Lady Harken : "His sword technique looked just like mine. Who is he...
              Why can't I remember... The battles... *kneels down* 
              "What happened to my body...?"

{Alhazad appears.}

Alhazad : "Rejection of the body by the consciousness... You think too much,
          my Lady Harken." *goes near her* "You are so beautiful, yet..."

Lady Harken : *stands and draws her weapon* "Get back you sleaze! Only the
              souls of the warriors I have devoured sleep in my bosom. Do
              you want to know what that means?"

Alhazad : *backs down* "Those words are too strong for me... I came to serve
          you and protect the [Darkness Tear]."

Lady Harken : "I don't need your dumb ideas! All I need is my blade..."

{Alhazad disappears.}

Voice of Alhazad : "As you wish... Please take care of the Darkness Tear. You
                   and the Darkness Tear share a similar beauty..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party moves deeper into the Lab. In there they encounter several
guys near some terminals.}

-Guy 1 : "You came to take the Darkness Tear... Do you really think you can?

 {They kill the dude.}
 
 *This terminal will retrieve information from the Demon Archives. Do you want
  to turn it on? Ether analysis complete... Demon Gate... Correcting vector...
  Gate Generator at 20%...

-Guy 2 : "When the Darkness Tear is complete, Filgaia will be ours. Goodbye
         Humans!"

 {They kill the dude.}

 *This terminal will retrieve information from the Demon Archives. Do you want
  to turn it on? We have discovered the energy of the [Tear Drop] can be
  reversed to create an anti-life force. The experiment continues...

-Guy 3 : "Research with the [Tear Drop] has lead to the discovery of an
         ultimate weapon against the Guardians."

 {They kill the demon.}

 *This terminal will retrieve information from the Demon Archives. Do you want
  to turn it on? The revival of the Underwater Golem, [Leviathan] is complete.
  Ammunition equipped... Ready for battle..."

-Guy 4 : "We scientists are working on the latest weapons. You will be our next
         guinea pigs!"

 *Please choose parameter.

 *Data Display. Seven out of the eight golems have been retrieved. Implement
  working golems to the front lines... The model [Barbados] was found to be
  uncontrollable. Terminated all revival data and dispose of it in the desert.
  Much concern for the golems still posing a threat...

 *Data Display. Door lock ID code... Demon Gate.

{The head for the big door which asks for an ID Code. They enter "Demon Gate"
and the door opens. They head further inside. And finds a strange machine.}

Cecilia : "What's happening? The [Tear Drop] is resonating. It's as if it's
          afraid..."

{Lady Harken appears.}

Lady Harken : "Because it's a fake. It contains the darkest of souls within 
              it."

Jack : "Harken! We meet again! And this time, we share a common sword
       technique."

Lady Harken : "Many tales we have shared... But, the warrior needs no words.
              We let our swords do the talking!"

{The party defeats Harken.}

Lady Harken : "What have I witnessed...?"

{Harken transforms into a human.}

Jack : "...!!!"

{Harken disappears. Alhazad appears.}

Alhazad : "We cannot give you the Darkness Tear or Lady Harken. You'll have to
          come after me if you want them...."

{Alhazad disappears.}

Jack : "So, what was my revenge all about? I should have known... That
       sword technique..."

*<Fast Draw> hint acquired.

Jack : "The real fool who couldn't face reality was me! ............
       You probably already know, but I'll tell you anyway, when I'm ready."

{Rudy and Cecilia nods. They move north and check another terminal.}

*Terminal will retrieve information from the Demon Archives. Do you want
 to turn it on? Priority One... Recovery of the [Ka Dingel], that was sealed
 by the Guardians..."

{The party leaves the Demon's Lab.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{As they step outside, the sky darkens.}

Cecilia : "What!? That's a..."

Jack : "An army of demons is coming down! This is the same thing that attacked
       Adlehyde!"

Voice of Zeikfried : "This is the Demon Gate. We can travel through space
                     using dimensional shifts. It has many useful purposes,
                     troop transport is one of them. The tearing darkness is
                     the Anti-Guardian. Welcome to the Gate Generator! Have
                     fun my friends!"

{Rudy & co. gets transported above...}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The trio is lying on some kind of space. Jack wakes up.}

Jack : "What... How is this possible..."

{Rudy and Cecilia wake up.}

Voice of Zeikfried : "Good morning! This is the Gate Generator. This is our
                     Demon Gate and your grave. Get it?"

{Three Amplifiers (monsters) appear.}

Voice of Zeikfried : "It's going to be fun from here on boys and girls.
                     I have you in the palm of my hand now. Appetizer anyone?"

{They defeat the Amplifiers. The Gate Generator area seems to be clear now.}

Voice of Zeikfried : "You fool! You shouldn't fight in an unstable
                     dimension... You could explode from all the energy you
                     create in a battle!"

Jack : "You knew that would happen! No, I will not let you enjoy this! I will
       chase you till the end of the world!"

{They explore the place. On their way, they encounter the ever energetic, Zed.}

Zed : "Here I am, dripping with talent, ready to do battle! You're not going
      to get off easy this time... Watch my phenomenal attack, the
      [Drop Floor]!"

{Part of the floor between the party and Zed drops down. OH NOES!
Jack hooks his Grapple tool on Zed to get to the other side.}

Zed : "That hurt! What do you think you're doing?"

Jack : "Shut up, you annoying bastard!"

Zed : "Operation [Hell Thunder]!!!"

{Zed runs away. And they follow him. They got in the middle of a bridge,
then Zed appears near a lever on another platform}

Zed : "This is operation [Hell Thunder]. The electricity through the floor was
      mighty ingenious of me!" *flips the lever* "Aaaaarggg!"

{Zed leaves. Omigosh! The party got trapped! There is electricity on the
floor in front and behind them. What to do? Rudy uses his skates tool
so the floor could not hurt them. They move further in till they meet Zed 
again.}

Zed : "Not bad, Not bad at all."

{The party moves on. They come to a room with 4 sub rooms, each with a lever.
The first sub room is open. They flip inside then the second sub room opens.
They do the procedure till they reach the fourth sub room. They flip the
lever there and the north door opens. Zed comes from the door and flips
the lever on the third sub room, locking the party inside the fourth sub room.}

Zed : "Ha haha! I must say, this is most entertaining."

{Zed exits. Cecilia uses her Pocket Watch to turn back time.
This time they lock the third sub room before flipping the
lever on the fourth. The door opens. From it comes Zed. He finds
the third sub room locked. haha!}

Zed : "Lucky bastards!"

{Zed returns to where he came from. The party follows him...Oh my...
There's a golem behind him.}

Zed : "Diablo, the Crimson Hellstorm! Taste it for yourself my friends..."

{The party gets a taste of the Golem. However, it wasn't enough to defeat
them.}

Zed : "No! You have defeated Diablo as well!"

{Zed runs away. The party follows him and finds a door between them and Zed.}

Zed : "My defenses are not working! Damn it, there's no time to screw around.
      I'll use my [Tempest] strategy... You will suffer dearly humans!"

{The door asks for a password. They try to input anything.}

Zed : "Ha ha ha hahahaaaa! You fools! That thing will open to any password.
      Does your pea size brain hurt?"

{Zed runs and they follow him. Zed stops by a closed door.}

Zed : "Please, my lord Zeikfried! Let me in! They're already here. I need to
      psyche myself up before I fight them.

{The door opens. The party follows him!}

*There is a low rumbling sound. It must be a huge machine. Do you want to go
 in?

{Of course! They go in.}

Zed : "You pesky maggots are getting in the way of my career! You will be
      condemned to death, without appeal! *draws sword* This is the power of
      the immortal reborn! A gift from Alhazad! Here we go!"

Zeikfried : "Get back! This isn't your caliber, you squirmy snake!"

Zed : *backs down* Lord Zeikfried!?"

Zeikfried : "We can't have you running around, messing things up anymore. We
            need to acquire this world for settlement. With Hiades gone, we
            need a new home."

Jack : *draws sword* "Cut the crap! You can't fool me! You betrayed your mother
       because you wanted to become the ultimate ruler! Right?!"

Zeikfried : *draws weapon* "Say what you will... I like it here on Filgaia,
            and I will become the ruler. Exterminate the humans so we demons
            can rule both heaven and earth. The magical spear, Glumzamber
            will skewer you!"

{The party fights Zeik. After dealing considerable damage to him...}

Zeikfried : "Humans can't have powers equal to ours... It's impossible! I knew
            the Guardians were involved. I will not let them ruin my plans!
            Do you think you've won? Think again... My dreams and aspirations
            have just begun... Round two! Turn the generators on Zed! Output
            at 200 percent!"

Zed : "You can't do that, my lord. It's going to overload. No... That will
      create a..."

Zeikfried : "Yes, a black hole. Right in this room!"

Zed : "I knew it... What should I do?"

Jack : "I don't know what you're trying to do, but you've lost. Surrender!"

Zeikfried : "Surrender, me?! Ha, ha, ha! Don't be ridiculous! I am going to
            activate the generator. Everyone here will be sucked into the
            dimension gap. Of course, I'll be sucked in as well, but I will
            recover because I am the ultimate ruler of this world.
            I will never die here!!"

Zed : "I don't know what he's talking about, but here goes nothing.

{Zed goes to turn on the generators. Rudy tries to stop him but Zeikfried
catches him by attaching a wire to his left arm.}

Zeikfried : "No way!"

Cecilia : "Rudy!"

{Zed confronts Cecilia & Jack. They draw their weapons.}

Zed : "All right my lord, we'll see what happens."

{A black hole is generated.}

Zeikfried : "No way to escape... What are you going to do? You're going on a
            trip with me to the vortex."

{Rudy tries to cut the wire with his sword.}

Zeikfried : "You think you can cut the wires with those flimsy swords! They
            are made from magic silver... No way... What?!?!"

{Rudy cuts his arm...}

Zeikfried : "What! Your own left arm?!"

{Zeikfried gets caught in the vortex. It gets bigger and bigger, catching
Rudy & co. as well. Cecilia's Tear Drop shines brightly and they get
transported near Adlehyde.}

Cecilia : "This is near Adlehyde... I was thinking about everyone needing to
          get home... I imagined the castle, and the town... The next thing
          I knew, the [Tear Drop] brought us here..."

{Cecilia looks around. She notices Rudy lying on the ground.}

Cecilia : "... Rudy. Oh yeah... Rudy's arm is hurt! Good, you didn't get lost
          in the dimensions."

Jack : "Could this possibly be, Princess? Rudy's body... His ARM..."

{Cecilia goes near Rudy.}

Cecilia : "What's the matter? There's nothing to worry about. We'll get the
          magic to heal him in time."

{Cecilia uses her magic to try to heal Rudy.}

Cecilia : "No... It can't be... Rudy's body is a machine... Just like the
          demons! Rudy... I... I..."

Jack : "Princess! If we don't support him in times like this, who will? Look,
       he's shaking... He doesn't know, himself... No one wants to be an
       outsider, right? Well, he just found out he is one. Rudy has been
       protecting us all along, we should do the same in return."

Cecilia : "You're right. It'll be okay, Rudy. Prof Emma from Adlehyde should
          be able to help you."

Jack : "Let's get going, Princess. She should be able to..."

{Jack carries Rudy.}

Jack : "If the old man was still alive, he would know more about this... You
       know Rudy didn't ask for this... He's not a machine made for
       destruction!"

{Jack and Cecilia takes Rudy to Adlehyde.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Meanwhile, Zeikfried is lying on the ground, inside the ruined Photosphere.
The lights are turning on and off.}

Zeikfried : "....... No way... I'm back on the control chair of the
            Photosphere! I... I was sucked up the Gate Generator! That was
            close. I thought I was going to be lost in another dimension.
            Although, it's ironic that I'm back at this place of hatred.
            The hatred between a child and a parent."

{Zeik crawls forward.}

Zeikfried : "If I made it through, they probably have... Now, I have the dark
            [Tear Drop]. With this, I will gain control of Filgaia. I and I
            alone will rule this world. The Demon Race shall reign again!"

{Somebody laughs...Mother!}

Zeikfried : "Who is this... Is someone else here?"

{Heartbeats can be heard. The scattered remains of Mother drips down.}

Zeikfried : "This is... This is a bad dream..."

{The slimy remains of Mother drops down from her destroyed container.}

Mother : "My... iek... is ... come ... child..."

{Zeikfried crawls away but the slimy thing follows him.}

Mother : "My sweet Zeik... From now on ... me..."

=========================================

{Rudy is lying on a bed inside Emma's residence. Everyone is gathered near
him: Cecilia, Jack, Emma, Jane, McDullen, and Bartholomew. Emma examines
Rudy's body.}

Emma : "This... Even I can't do anything about this..."

Cecilia : "So you're saying that Rudy's body is..."

Emma : "The anatomy is the same as humans. The bones... muscles...
       nervous system... They're all the same except for the fact that
       everything is artificial. It is just like the bodies of the metal
       demons in the legends."

Jane : "No way, Rudy can't be..."

Emma : "No, not a demon. It looks like he was made by a human. He feels pain.
       He's a machine that feels pain. Why would anybody want to do that?"

Jane : "Those things don't matter. It doesn't matter! How come I can never
       help the people I really care about?"

Emma : "I'm sorry, I didn't think..."

Jack : "I don't know how it works, but... Rudy's body is the same as a human
       body, except the material that he's made of. You can get herbs from
       Mariel, in the town of Rosetta. Those herbs will probably..."

Emma : "See, don't give up all hope. Jack... you should take care of Rudy.
       The rest of you should prepare for an invasion in case the demons
       try to take advantage of this situation."

Jane : "Okay."

Emma : "Captain! Prepare the Sweet Candy for battle!"

Bartholomew : "Got it! No one can take me on the ocean!"

{Bart leaves.}

Jack : "You make us work for our friendship, Rudy..."

Cecilia : "Okay, everyone..."

Jane : "Hey! No time to sit around. Your friend needs you."

Cecilia : "Yes, he's our friend isn't he... That's why we care so much..."

Jane : "Are you stupid? Why would you have to think about that? What have you
       been fighting for all this time? To protect your loved ones, right?
       Not for some cheap foolish destiny of mission in life. Get a clue girl!
       Figure it out! I'm getting very frustrated listening to you."

Cecilia : "Thank you... I feel better. Rudy said you had a big heart."

Jane : "Enough! Let's go McDullen. I've got to go blow off a cannon or
       something. I've got to get rid of this rage."

McDullen : "Yes, my lady..."

{Jane and her servant leave.}

Jack : "Every minute counts. Let's get to the town of Rosetta."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Jack & co. leave for Rosetta. They talk to Mariel.}

Mariel : "What...? How...? Rudy, his arm... What's happening?"

*Jack and Cecilia tell Mariel everything up to this point in their adventure.

Mariel : "Use the herbs and the pain will go away... This is the benefit of the
         [life within metal] body that you possess, Rudy..."

Jack : "[Life within metal]? How would you know Mariel?"

Mariel : *shakes head* "It is a 1000 year old sin! The metal that has a
         consciousness. As you know, the demons have machines for their bodies.
         The Elws and Humans dared to step in their realm and play gods...
         If this was a small wound, I could do something about it with herbs.
         But to replace a lost arm..." *shakes head* "Nowhere in Filgaia
         can you recreate [life within metal] again... Maybe if it were 1000
         years ago... maybe then... Rudy's arm could have been..."

Cecilia : "1000 years ago, in Filgaia... How can you...?"

Mariel : "Let's go to the temple in the Forest Mound. Deep in that forest,
         the Elws... We left a gift..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Mariel & co. leaves for the Forest Mound. They head to the temple further
north.}

Mariel : "The Elws left Filgaia after the war with the demons had ended. We
         Elws normally live in the forest. After the war, the land was no
         longer suitable for us. So, we created this realm called the [Elw
         Dimension]. We used the last of our power to move this land to
         another dimension. We closed the gates and this became our new home.
         There you can still see Filgaia of 1000 years ago. And this is the
         gate that connects the Elw world to Filgaia."

Jack : "We couldn't budge this thing, even with a cannon! Maybe the gate
       broke because of 1000 years of inactivity. That would not be good for
       Rudy..."

Mariel : "This gate operates the Elw's heart and life energy..."

{Mariel cuts herself and her blood spills on the ground.}

Mariel : "The Elws live by [bonds]. We bond to time in order to live an eternal
         life. We bond to the land to enjoy nature. We will gladly give up
         everything to bond with those who we believe in. Rudy saved my life
         in this forest. Now, it's my turn to repay him."

{The place start shaking. It seems that the gate is working.}

Mariel : "...please ...don't ...leave ...the mound ...Vassim ...can ..."

{Mariel & co. get transported into the Elw dimension.}

Cecilia : "The [Elw Dimension] is a replica of Filgaia 1000 years ago..."

Jack : "Hey Mariel! Mariel! She's bleeding badly. We need to treat her now!"

{The head south of the Forest. They meet three Elws along the way.}

Elws : "The humans have activated the gate? And they are here!?"

Jack : "We came to ask for your help."

Elw 1 : "We Elws want nothing to do with you foolish humans... Please leave."

Cecilia : "We have people wounded here. Only you can help cure them. One
          of the wounded is an Elw girl. Please, let us in."

Elw 3 : "She is the child of a criminal. There is no reason for us to help
        her... Go, go back to your dying world..."

Elw 2 : "Wait... We cannot risk exposing the gate to other humans. We will
        take you to the village. Master Fulcanelli will decide your fate."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party is taken to a house in Tarjon Village. Rudy and Mariel
are in bed...separate beds. Rudy is in pain while some old Elw is checking
on him.}

Cecilia : "Please help, Rudy!"

{The old Elw uses some kind of magic on Rudy. But he's still in pain.}

Jack : "What the hell did you do?!"

{Rudy seems to calm down.}

Emiko : "Follow me, outsiders from the dying world.

{Rudy and Cecilia follow old Emiko to the basement.}

Emiko : "So, you want to use our powers to fix this young man's left arm?"

Cecilia : "Rudy is an important part of the team. We're trying to save the
          world."

Emiko : "The battle with the demons has begun again. Do you trust us? The ones
        who are more like demons than humans..."

{Jack and Cecilia thinks for a while.}

Cecilia : "We have to, Rudy is too important. The whole world needs him."

Emiko : "1000 years ago, we created this machine to combat the demons."

Jack : "The golems are the [Absolute Power]..."

Emiko : "Power without heart can be good or evil. The Elws and the human mage
        have reached into the realm of the unknown and came up with a new
        technology... We based this technology on demons we've captured.
        We used living metals and adapted it to human physiology. An artificial
        biometal was created. It was called the [Holmcross Project]. Artificial
        life that can survive under any conditions. This Holmcross is the
        ultimate enhancement to many different kinds of ARMs. It synchronizes
        with different ARMs, thus enhancing the psychic power of the ARM.
        But, the Holmcross enjoyed killing so much, they literally became a
        killing machine. Was is the blood of the demons or was it man's lust
        for conflict... No one knows for sure... The deployed Holmcross were
        destroyed. There is, however, one Holmcross left. An experimental
        model was sealed deep underground."

Cecilia : "Rudy is not a killing machine. He has a bigger heart than anyone
          I know!"

Emiko : "The time he spent as a human have him a pure [heart]. Is that what
        you're saying?"

Cecilia : "Rudy used to travel with an old man called Zepet. Zepet had a kind
          heart and it was he who kept Rudy from turning into a weapon. He kept
          Rudy's heart pure."

Emiko : "You're telling me after 1000 years, this man unleashed the
        experimental machine... But, it's too late. We don't have the
        technology to give life to metals anymore. Those powers were lost
        to us long ago."

Cecilia : "Then Rudy is..."

Emiko : "There is nothing we can do..."

{Cecilia cries. Then, Mariel comes down.}

Mariel : "The Guardian Blade..."

Jack : "Mariel! You must rest!"

Mariel : "The Guardian Blade has a life on its own... I bet it's power could...
         Go to brother Vassim and use the Guardian Blade on Rudy."

Emiko : "What in the world are you saying? The Guardian Blade..."

Mariel : "It went out of control and disappeared. But not before it took half
         of Filgaia with it... You know the Sand Ocean that starts from Rosetta
         and cuts across the land? That was the result of the untrained and
         refined Guardian Blade of Vassim."

Emiko : "Mariel stayed there, alone to pay for her brother's sins. He is
        working to turn the Sand Ocean back to normal... We can't afford to
        make the same mistake again."

Mariel : "If we do nothing, then that is what Filgaia will be... Nothing...
         If we run now, we will live like weaklings for the rest of our lives.
         I don't want to lose the [bond] between myself and the people who
         taught me to be strong."

Emiko : "Vassim lives in the forest to the southwest. There, he can live
        without being exposed to us... He's the only one that can possibly
        repair the arm... If not, it will destroy us all..."

{Jack & Cecilia seem ready to go.}

Mariel : "Please take me with you. I want to share some of what I've learned
         with him."

{They are about to head upstairs when Emiko gets their attention.}

Emiko : "Do you still want us to make the Guardian Blade? It's going to take
        a miracle. We have lost much of our technology to time. That evil
        sword..."

Cecilia : "Miracles only have value if you can do it yourself... It is
          absolutely true."

{Cecilia & co. head upstairs.}

Emiko : "Miracles don't occur easily. If it can be done, it will probably be
        done by a human. The Guardian of Filgaia is human..."

{Upstairs, Cecilia checks on Rudy.}

Cecilia : "Please, hold on... Our wishes will make you well again."

{They take Rudy with them.}

@OLD ELW

 Old Elw : "The Forest Prison... It is a prison for monsters, built by the
           Elws to trap monsters who infiltrated the Elw's world. They go in,
           but they don't come out. Not all the prisoners are monsters. The
           Guardian of Life is also trapped in there. Outsiders, I ask of you
           to release the Guardian of Life. Use this key to open the chest
           which seals the Guardian.

 Spirit Key acquired.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party goes southwest to Forest Prison. All monsters in Elw Dimension
are kept here. They explore the forest till they encounter a big chest.
They use the Spirit Key on it then it opens. A light comes out from it
and they follow that light. It takes them to a spring.}

Unicorn : "I am Odoryuk, Guardian of Life. Innocent One from Filgaia,
          receive my gift. I shall cast a light upon your dwindling faith!
          Either in eternity of mortality, my powers are never absolute.
          Take my powers, shaman, for I am the Guardian of Life!"

Life Rune acquired.

{They got through the other side of the forest and finds Vassim's Lab.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mariel : "Vassim!"

Vassim : "Mariel! What are you doing here?"

Mariel : "Vassim... Rudy is in trouble..."

Vassim : "Calm down, Mariel. Breath... Breath..."

{They place Rudy in bed. Vassim checks on him.}

Vassim : "I can't believe I'm looking at a forbidden Holmcross..."

Mariel : "Rudy needs some living metal to heal his left arm. Please, use the
         Guardian Blade one last time!"

Vassim : "No! Do you want me to crack the ground in half again? I can't
         take part in the creation of another weapon for destruction...
         The Guardian Blade is a blade of doom."

Mariel : "I'm not talking about a weapon. I want you to pound out some
         [Life Force] with those hands. Only you can save Rudy. Only you can
         make metal come to life. Fix Rudy with the technology that produced
         the Guardian Blade..."

Vassim : "You've become strong... Or should I say your love has become
         strong..."

Mariel : "Rudy shared his strength of heart with me. Rudy can change the future
         of mankind. Make the Guardian Blade save Rudy."

Vassim : "It is possible to repair the arm... But, we are missing two key
         ingredients for the operation through... To reclaim the left hand,
         we need the [Life Force] Guardian. To regulate it's powers, we
         need the [Illusion] Guardian. With both of these in place, we can
         finally apply the Guardian Blade to his left arm. Mariel and I will
         prep him for the operation. You warriors go and gather the two powers
         of the Guardians. The [Life Force] Guardian is sealed somewhere in the
         forest prison... I don't know where the [Illusion] Guardian is...
         There is a magical book called [De Le Metalica]... It's a book about
         alchemy and it is said the power of [Illusion] lives in it. To find
         one tiny book in this huge world I... You must do this. You are our
         last hope..."

C@RUDY

 Cecilia : "We'll get your arm fixed up. Hang in there...

J@RUDY

 Jack : "Everyone is worried about you. We will be back soon to help you.

C/J@MARIEL

 Mariel : "I've heard of a library that contains every magic book ever
          written. You might be able to find the [De Le Metalica] book there.
          All I can do is use herbs..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Jack & Cecilia return to Filgaia via the Forest Mound and heads
to the Sealed Library. There, they find the book called "De Le Metalica".}

*The pages turn by themselves until it reaches a section on forbidden magic.
 As your consciousness wanes you begin to hear a voice from afar...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party gets transported to De Le Metalica. They explore it till they
find a magic circle on the floor. Duras Drum, the Illusion Guardian, appears.}

Duras Drum : "This is the realm of the forbidden knowledge. I am the keeper
             of all the knowledge stored here. Humans! You have successfully
             overcome the labyrinth. You have earned the right to possess the
             secret power of [Illusion]. Just remember, the power is a vehicle,
             not a driver. Warrior and the Shaman Princess, take my powers...
             Have faith in what you do."

{Duras Drum transforms into a Rune.}

Hades Rune acquired.

{They exit the forbidden book.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{They go back into the Elw Dimension and into Vassim's Lab.}

@MARIEL

 Mariel : "Hurry! Rudy needs your help!"

{They talk to Vassim.}

Vassim : "The two powers of the Guardians are together again. The [Lifeforce]
         and the [Illusion]... I am unleashing the forbidden powers... Am I
         making a terrible mistake again? No! Not this time! The [Guardian
         Blade] will be forged. It's the weapon capable of saving the future.
         The Guardian Blade!!!"

{The sounds of hammering metal can be heard.}

The surgery took the better part of the day...

{Everyone's beside Rudy, who is still asleep in bed.}

Vassim : "I have done all I can. Now, we'll see how he holds up."

C@MARIEL

 Mariel : "I want to help. I want to make him better... I feel so helpless...
          My heart aches for him."

C@VASSIM

 Vassim : "I have done all I can... It's up to him now."

C@JACK

 Jack : "He's closed up his heart... I know how that feels... If I found out
        I had the same body as the demons. The same demons I've been fighting
        all my life, I..."

{Cecilia goes to check on Rudy, upstairs.}

Cecilia : "Don't close your heart, Rudy... You are who you are...
          You're one of us... Ever benevolent and invulnerable..."

{Cecilia falls asleep.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cecilia : "Where am I...!? Dreaming...? No, this isn't my dream... It's
          someone else's dream..."

Voice of Children : "Rudy! Hurry, come here!"

{Four kids are playing with a younger Rudy. He's chasing the other kids.}

Cecilia : "This is an unfamiliar landscape... This is Rudy's dream...
          That child is... Rudy? So, this is his childhood. The situation
          made Rudy's mind go back to his childhood. The childhood in his
          heart is the world where old man Zepet protects him."

{Cecilia watches as Rudy's dream is playing.}

Boy 1 : "I'm going to be a [Dream Chaser] when I grow up."

Boy 2 : "Like Rudy?"

Boy 1 : "No, I'm going to be a better [Dream Chaser]! I'll be traveling alone,
        not with my grandpa. Check this out!"

{Rudy seems to say that he's going to pick up a crate near them.}

Boy 2 : "Impossible?! A kid can't lift that..."

Boy 1 : "Rudy can't do it either! It's a draw!"

{Rudy picks up the crate, shows it in their face, and then throws it.
The crate breaks.}

Boy 1 : "No way, that's impossible! Rudy isn't normal!"

Boy 2 : "I know... I know... Rudy has no parents!"

Boy 1 : "Rudy's probably a monster child!"

{The kids run away in different directions. The young Rudy walks away,
passing through Cecilia.}

Cecilia : "Rudy ..."

{Rudy continues to walk away. He meets Zepet along the way.}

Zepet : "What happened, Rudy? Are you alone again... Huh? You want to know
        why you're different from the others? So, you're old enough to think
        about such things..."

{Zepet and Rudy walks away.}

Cecilia : "I think I'm lost in Rudy's dream... He must turn to his memories
          with old man Zepet when his feelings are hurt. Being with the old
          man must be relaxing for Rudy."

{Zepet and Rudy appear on a bridge, with the sea in sight. They're looking
at the sunset.}

Zepet : "This power you have... There must be a reason why you were chosen to
        possess it... Hmm... This is a little difficult to explain. Let me
        put it to you this way. You feel pain when someone hits you, right?
        The same thing happens with people's hearts. Your heart hurts when
        something sad happens. You can understand those hard feelings better
        than other children... Someone like you will need the power to protect
        people in the future. You must practice with your ARM and sword until
        that time comes."

{Rudy appears to be in old man Zepet's grave, on the top of a cliff.
A shining blue necklace is attached to the grave's cross.}

Voice of Zepet : "Real power is the power to protect what's dear to you."

Cecilia : "Rudy's kindness comes from his understanding of people's hard
          feelings, not only the old man's teachings. Now I understand.
          The constant pain he has within his artificial body has
          taught him mercy..."

{Rudy enters the town only to find it burning. Bodies are lying on the
ground.}

Cecilia : "I know you're scared, Rudy. Just hang in there. You are not afraid
          of the demons. Your fear is pointed inwards! You are Rudy, our dear
          friend! Don't deny yourself..."

{Zeikfried walks toward Rudy. Rudy runs away in fear.}

Cecilia : "Don't look away from what hurts you. This is an illusion generated
          from your own heart. It's easy to run away, but that won't solve
          anything. Rudy, come out and face it!"

{Rudy runs back to a house where Zepet is seated on a rocking chair.
He sits on the floor in front of the old man.}

Zepet : "What's the matter? Why are you in a hurry? You bumped into something
        so bad you wanted to run away? Don't worry, I will get rid of anything
        that will hurt you. You can always come to me."

Cecilia : "Rudy! Do not close your heart!"

Zepet : "Always stay here, Rudy... Don't listen to anything else... Just listen
        to me."

{The screen turns black with Rudy and Cecilia alone.}

Cecilia : "Everyone is waiting for you... Jack, Hanpan, Jane, McDullen, Prof.
          Emma, the Captain, even Mariel! And me... Rudy is Rudy. You are no
          one else but our dear friend! I know being with old man Zepet is
          comfortable for you, but that's an ancient memory! This is an
          illusion... The old man is dead!!"

{Rudy seems to get to his senses. Old man Zepet appears in front of
Cecilia.}

Zepet : "Shut up, you noisy little brat!"

Cecilia : "Zepet?!?!"

Zepet : "I'm never going to let this kid go. I've never met someone with such
        a beautiful heart!"

{Zepet transforms into a monster.}

Elizabeth : "I am Elizabeth... I'm a devil who eats dreams."

Cecilia : "So you're the one keeping Rudy's mind closed..."

Elizabeth : "If you want him, you'll have to beat me first. I wonder if a noisy
            brat like you could do that?"

{Cecilia beats Elizabeth.}

{Rudy's dream world slowly shatters. Cecilia runs and embraces Rudy.}

Cecilia : "Be strong, Rudy! You're not alone... A lot of people care about you,
          because you care about others. .....!! Now... Now I understand...
          I have always hated myself for being the Princess of Adlehyde. I
          always thought that people would only see me as a princess. I wasn't
          being hated... My selfish thoughts were keeping people away from me.
          I've finally found out by watching Rudy... If you want to be loved
          by someone, you have to love other people yourself..."

*The [Goddess Idol] shatters!

{The image of an angel appears above Rudy and Cecilia.}

Raftina : "I am Raftina, the Guardian of the [Love], the love that people have
          lost. Your cries have been heard... Princess, why do you risk your
          life for your dear friend?"

Cecilia : "At first... I was doing it because I am the princess and the shaman
          of the Guardians... But now I do it because I love Filgaia...
          Because I love my friends..."

Raftina : "You've learned the true meaning of love... If you need my powers,
          call upon me in the name of [Love]."

{Raftina becomes a rune.}

Love Rune acquired.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Back at Vassim's Lab, Cecilia walks up beside the bed where Rudy was
sleeping.}

Cecilia : "Wow... I fell asleep. ...!? Rudy!"

{Cecilia sees Rudy, staring at the window.}

Cecilia : "...... This isn't a dream?"

{Rudy goes near Cecilia.}

Cecilia : "You wouldn't laugh at me, call me a space cadet or anything like
          that would you?"

{Rudy nods.}

Cecilia : "I was dreaming... A dream about Rudy..."

{Rudy nods.}

Cecilia : "Rudy had the same dream? Wow, I now know the burden you carry...
          You are truly strong of heart, and in might... I would have been
          crushed by the sadness..."

{Cecilia blushes and backs down a little.}

Cecilia : "If we did share the same dream, then what do you remember? What
          happened? There's the real me, not the princess.. All I could think
          of was saving you..."

{Jack and Hanpan hurries to the room.}

Jack : "You made us worry, kid!"

Hanpan : "You look great..."

{Rudy nods. Then, Vassim and Mariel runs to the room.}

{Some time later, at the lab's ground floor...}

Mariel : "I'm going back to Filgaia. I can't fight, but the least I can do is
         try to protect our home."

C/J@VASSIM

 Vassim : "Rudy is unaware of the powers that sleep inside him. Once
          Rudy accepts himself for what he is, the power will awaken.
          Let me talk to Rudy."

R@VASSIM

 Vassim : "Your body is not human... That is the truth. If you can accept this
          fact and grow beyond it, you will be able to produce unbelievable
          power from your ARMs. The synchronization beyond normal limits will
          produce a runaway destructive force. I know you will use this power
          wisely... Bring the future to us Rudy!"

 *Vassim's words have awakened powers deep inside Rudy's body.

 *Fury Shot Force acquired.

 Vassim : "Your body represents a past that we are trying to forget. The war
          with the demons and the Holmcross Project... The Guardian Blade...
          You're the Pandora's Box..."

@VASSIM

 Vassim : "You saved me, not the other way around... If I keep running, I'll
          never solve anything."

= 1.22] The Gemini Circuits =
=============================

{The party returns to Filgaia via the Forest Mound.}

Mariel : "Umm... I'll be okay from here. I'm going back to town to continue
         my work on reforesting the land. Not out of guilt, but out of love.
         I want to do what I can to save Filgaia, a land full of wonderful
         people. You have changed my life. Thank you, everybody..."

{Mariel leaves. Rudy & co. runs south to leave the Mound.
They meet Jane and her servant.}

Jane : "You're late! Where the hell were you!"

McDullen : "My lady was so worried."

Jane : "Naah! There is something going on! We must get back to Adlehyde
       Castle!!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{On their way to Adlehyde...}

Jane : "It's incredible! I've never seen anything like it."

Jack : "What? What are you talking about! What is incredible?"

Jane : "Prof. Emma's invention is finished. The Flight Machine is done!
       The strange looking contraption in her lab actually flies!"

Cecilia : "A machine that can fly?"

Hanpan : "It is said that 1000 years ago there was a vehicle that could
         travel to the stars... How can you fly using current technology?!"

Jane : "I have no idea how it works, but Prof. Emma has been researching
       flight mechanisms for a long time. you know the Emma Motor...? It was
       invented for this machine! For a long time, she said it didn't have
       enough power to fly yet, but..."

Jack : "Why now?"

Jane : "I'm not sure, it was a lot of information for me to digest. Speaking
       of digestion, she was checking out the Earth Golem's stomach while
       we were gone... We better hurry or we'll miss the test flight."

{The move to the edge of a cliff, with Adlehyde in sight.}

Jane : "That crazy captain... What's his name is going to be the test pilot.
       He's scared of heights. Imagine, a grown man whining and crying!"

Cecilia : "I'm sorry to hear that..."

Jane : "There! It's coming this way!"

{The flying machine crashes on the ground.}

Jane : "OHHH!!! SHIE..."

Cecilia : "That crazy captain!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Everyone gathers at Adlehyde's Council Room.}

Emma : "Wow, that was scary. We didn't have enough power to maneuver into the
       upper atmosphere. We need to start on the modifications right away.
       Rudy, it's good to see you up and about again!"

Jane : "Where's the captain?"

Emma : "There's always a price to pay for progress. We should all go and visit
       him later... But first, I want you to meet some one."

{Anje (from Curan Abbey) enters the room.}

Anje : "Before the introductions... I would like to report my findings."

{Anje places a shining stone on the table.}

Cecilia : "This is the Guard Stone. What???"

Anje : "There is instability in the Guardian's energy. The Guard Stone is
       responding very erratically. There is some problem to the southeast,
       far away... I will continue with my observations... Is something
       happening to the Guardians?"

{Anje exits the room.}

Emma : "I don't have any confirmation... But, it's worth a look.
       We must use..."

Jane : "But... I thought it wasn't completed yet?"

Emma : "If only we had the [Gemini Circuits]! If we had the ancient [Gemini
       Circuits], we could increase the power of the Emma Motor. We need a pair
       of them in order for them to work. Let's split up into two teams.
       Jane, your team will take to the sea with the captain. Fetch him from
       the hospital. Rudy and gang will use the new machine that I've created
       for them. Come with me, Rudy. I'll show you my secret laboratory."

Jack : "A secret laboratory... Where could it be?"

Emma : "No one knows... That's why it's called a secret laboratory."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Emma takes Rudy and gang to the "secret laboratory".
The place is dark, but there's a few crewmen inside.}

Cecilia : "I can't believe there's a secret facility under Adlehyde Castle!"

Hanpan : "There you go again, with another crazy idea... Isn't this illegal?"

Jack : "Someone stop this crazy professor..."

Emma : "I wasn't sure what I was getting into, so I didn't bother getting a
       permit. Okay. Light it up!!"

{The place lights up. The flying machine can be seen.}

Emma : "Here it is, surprise! The result of Zepet's studies on the theory
       of flight, the [Metal Bird] and my Emma Motor! I was able to create
       this flying machine by combining the two technologies. At last,
       my dream is finally becoming a reality. I'm going to name it the
       [Gull Wing], the wing of the Holy Bird. No... It's a prototype...
       How about the [Protowing]!"

Jack : "All that steam over a prototype... The thing can't even fly!
       We all saw it crash!"

Hanpan : "According to my wisdom... What goes up, must come down."

Emma : "As long as you don't get caught in a high altitude jet stream,
       you'll be okay."

Hanpan : "Somehow, you don't sound very convincing..."

Emma : "In this world, you can only count on two things... Our love for Filgaia
       and my technology! In order for me to complete the Protowing, I must
       have a pair of [Gemini Circuits]. Gemini means twins... Thus, they will
       not work unless we bring the two Gemini Circuits together. Jane's group
       will go by sea and your group will go by air... Get back as soon as
       you find the [Gemini Circuit]. What is the repair status of the
       Protowing? Stop wasting your time, hurry up!"

Workers : "Repair complete. It can take off at any time."

Cecilia : "Those people..."

Emma : "Yeah! They're the same guys that were helping me with the [Lolithia]
       dig."

Workers : "Emma is being a slave driver as usual!"

Emma : "Shut up and send the machine to Gate 14! Okay, ready? Protowing...
       Take Off!!!!"

{The Protowing surfaces from underneath the ground near Adlehyde.}

Emma : "To ride the Protowing, walk to the Protowing and push the Accept
       button. To land, push the Cancel button. You can't land in a forest
       or on the water. It doesn't have enough power to fly over the mountains,
       it is just a prototype."

{Emma returns to Adlehyde.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Rudy & co. flies the Protowing and finds a ruin called Gemini's corpse.
They explore the ruin till they get to the end, where one of the Gemini
Circuits lies. When they try to get there hands on the Circuit, a Mech
Drake attacks them. The party teaches the beast a lesson by defeating him.
Back to their business, the party touches the Circuit.}

Cecilia : "This must be one of the Gemini Circuits that Prof. Emma is looking
          for."

Jack : "If we can get two of these Gemini Circuits, Emma can complete the
       Protowing. Let's get back to Adlehyde. Maybe our good captain and
       his gang has found the second Gemini Circuit."

Gemini Circuit acquired.

{The party leaves the dungeon.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Rudy & co. heads back for Adlehyde Castle. Inside the Council Room...}

Emma : "So, we got one of the Gemini Circuits already... We can get to work as
       soon as we have the other one."

{An Adlehyde soldier enters the room.}

Soldier : "Professor Emma, I have an important message! We received a
          transmission from the team on the Sweet Candy."

Emma : "Continue..."

Soldier : "One Gemini Circuit found. Returning to base..."

{The Soldier leaves.}

Emma : "Oh boy! We can start the work soon."

{Another Soldier enters.}

Soldier 2 : "This is Sweet Candy! Mayday! Mayday! Under attack! Requesting
            back up!"

Emma : "This is happening at the worst possible time..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The screen switches to the Sweet Candy. The ship shakes a little.
The crew goes on panic. Bart tries to know what's going on.}

Bartholomew : "GeeeeeWiiiiz! What the hell is that!"

{There's a rumbling from under the sea.}

Jane : "Just as we found one of the Gemini Circuits, we get this! Do you have
       any special weapons or something?"

Bartholomew : "This is a trade ship, not the USS Missouri."

Jane : "You haven't got a clue, have you? this is a game! You should always
       carry a special weapon!"

Bartholomew : "Huh..."

{There's rumbling from under the sea.}

Bartholomew : "Wooooow! Grab onto me!"

Jane : "Noooo doggone waaaay!!!"

Bartholomew : "My poor ship, the Sweet Candy... She's sinking! All hands,
              Abandon ship!"

{The crew abandons the ship by boats. The ship is then attacked and destroyed.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{At the Ship Graveyard, Jane & the others stare at the sea. Rudy & co.
then, enters the scene.}

Jane : "Geeez! I'm drenched! Heey! Don't look at me!"

Jack : "What happened? The ship's gone. Did you get the Gemini Circuit?
       Is it okay?"

{Bartholomew & Jane looks at Jack for a second then, looks away.}

McDullen : "What a horrific creature. ...A stone mermaid. I'm sorry, we were
           too busy getting away from the monster... The Gemini Circuit is
           probably at the bottom of the Inner Sea by now..."

Cecilia : "So, the Protowing upgrade will..."

McDullen : "I am deeply sorry. We must get back to Adlehyde, so we can regroup
           our thoughts."

Bartholomew : "Oh! My Sweet Candy! Rest in peace!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Everyone's gathered back at Adlehyde Castle's Council Room.}

Emma : "So, the other Gemini Circuit is at the bottom of the sea."

Bartholomew : "My poor Sweet Candy..."

Jane : "Ahhh! This is so frustrating. Does this mean that all our efforts
       were for nothing? Even McDullen did a good job!"

McDullen : "Thank you, my lady..."

Emma : "The Gemini Circuit only work as a pair... I guess we have to give up
       our idea, now that the other circuit is buried deep beneath the
       ocean..."

Too bad...

Emma : "Don't give up, everyone. There must be another way."

Jane : "Okay..."

Bartholomew : "... Candy..."

{Emma, Jane, McDullen, and Bart leave the room. Rudy & co. soon follows.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Rudy & co. decide to return to the shores of Ship Graveyard. It is
said that anything that is dropped in the sea will eventually return to
the shores of Ship Graveyard... Oh, it's true! The party finds the other
half of the Gemini Circuits.}

Jack : "This is it! It's the other Gemini Circuit! It's true, everything
       eventually ends up in this area... Sometimes I don't know if we're
       just lucky or what..."

Cecilia : "We must take this to Prof. Emma..."

Jack : "That's right! This makes it possible to make the Protowing
       modifications..."

Gemini circ. acquired.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Cecilia & the gang finds Emma at her residence in Adlehyde. They came
to tell her of their findings.}

Emma : "You've found the Gemini Circuit that was lost at sea? That's too good
       to be true... All right! Now my Protowing will become a full fledged
       Gull Wing before your very eyes! I just have to get some extra help and
       then I'll get to work..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{After a while, Emma takes the Dream Chasers in the underground facility
near Adlehyde. Where the Protowing lies in the darkness.}

Emma : "Each Gemini Circuit is an energy amplifier. When combined together,
       they will achieve an energy level that cannot normally be generate.
       It's important for even small powers to support each other. Whether
       it's machines of human beings, it's the same thing..."

{The lights open up and the Protowing is in sight. Beside the airplane are
some unfamiliar faces.}

Cecilia : "Who are they?!"

Emma : "Colleagues of mine... They're from all over Filgaia or rather..."

Matthew : "Six students of old man Zepet."

Lilud : "Emma asked me to come all of a sudden. I had no idea you were making
        a flying machine."

Norman : "It was always our master's dream..."

Tokanak : "This really was a sudden call. You're still a slave driver. Huh,
          Emma?"

Nicholi : "Rudy's needs are the world's needs now. Right, Emma?"

Emma : "The Guardian's power in the southeast point is weakening. We
       need a vessel to take us there... We need to finish this machine
       before morning. I need your help to accomplish this."

The midnight oil was burned... And in the morning...

Emma : "I think we did it... We should test this thing out first. Once you're
       off, push the Accept Button to go up higher. With this, you can
       travel to areas you couldn't reach before. You can use the Cancel
       Button to lower your altitude. It's all up to you now."

{The Gull Wing is raised up from under the ground to the surface.}

======================================
= 1.23] Pandemonium & Arctica Castle =
======================================

{The party flies the Gull Wing. They find a dungeon called "Pandemonium"
on an island, surrounded by mountains. They explore the are till they
find Lady Harken appearing from above. She suddenly turns into a human.}

Jack : "Elmina!"

{A beast, called Turask, appears behind her. Alhazad, then,
appears beside her.}

Jack : "Alhazad! What's going on! I thought Elmina was one of you."

{Turask growls.}

Alhazad : "One of us? Yeees... An important part of the plan. I can't have any
          more intrusions. Turask, take care of my friends for me!"

{The party kills Turask. Elmina is surrounded by a sphere. Jack
tries to get Elmina.}

Cecilia : "No, Jack! It's a trap!"

Alhazad : "Too late, my princess."

{A sphere surrounds Jack.}

Jack : "Shhie! What is this! I... can't... move..."

{Spheres imprisoned Cecilia & Rudy, as well.}

Alhazad : "How beautifully these humans behave. So much waste in their effort.
          You folks need to keep quiet, during our event."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Jack appears to be in a cell.}

Jack : "Damn it! This is all my fault."

Hanpan : "I wonder if everyone is all right?"

Jack : "They'll be fine. Let's get out of here."

{There's a small hole in the cell.}

Jack : "You could get through there. It's all yours, Hanpen."

H@JACK

 Jack : "Hurry Hanpan! We don't have much time."

{Hanpan bravely enters the hole. Through the tunnel, he is able to find
a lever. He jumps and flips it.}

Hanpan : "Jack's going to do all the work next time... The labor laws also
         apply to rats, you know."

{Hanpan returns back to where Jack is.}

Jack : "Hey, there you are! Are you all right?"

Hanpan : "You, worry about me? How sweet... All the locks are unlocked.
         It's all up to you, Jack."

Jack : "That means Rudy and the princess may be on the move as well.
       I wonder what they could be doing... Let's go, Hanpan."

{Rudy, Cecilia, & Jack find each other. They meet the Demon Prophet
along the way.}

Demon Prophet : "I am your captor and seer. No one escapes my vision.
                I punish those who try to escape and I reward those who are
                obedient... Now, go back to your cell..."

-> YES

 Demon Prophet : "No one leaves here, alive..."

-> NO

{The party fights and defeats Demon Prophet.}

Demon Prophet : "I can see... The end of this fight... It is... No! Not me!"

{Demon Prophet dies. The party moves on till they encounter Shazam.}

Shazam : "In just a little while, the Black Tear will rain down the land. The
         end draws near for this planet."

{Cecilia & co. defeat Shazam.}

Shazam : "It is too late... All will perish! You will perish with this planet."

{Shazam dies. The party presses forward.}

*The Tear Drop is vibrating.

{The party jumps in. There, they see a huge black crystal, the Darkness Tear.}

Jack : "What...? What's going on?"

Voice of Zeikfried : "I told you earlier... I will kill the Guardians."

Cecilia : That voice... Zeikfried, you're alive...?!"

Jack : "Damn it, I can't see him! Show yourself!"

Voice of Alhazad : "I'm quite surprised myself... Good job, Zeikfried.
                   Hee, hee, hee..."

Jack : "I guess we weren't the only one who escaped from the dimension gap..."

Zeikfried : "Just sit there and watch as the black light of the Darkness Tear
            rain rips Filgaia into pieces."

Jack : "No... How is this possible...?"

Alhazad : "Easy my human friends... The Darkness Tear can generate anti-life
          energy by reversing the effects of the [Tear Drop]. You know how
          energy is delivered to the different regions, don't you?"

Cecilia : "No... The [Elw Pyramids]..."

Zeikfried : "Yes, the machine the Elws built has now become a doomsday device
            for Filgaia!! With the satellites, we can broadcast the anti-life
            energy from space. We will put an end to this [Ray Line], the power
            of the Guardians... Not just wastelands, we will bring utter death
            to this planet!"

Cecilia : "I thought you wanted to rule this planet for yourself?! What you're
          doing is just killing the planet... You sound more and more like
          Mother... Who you used to hate, you know!!"

Zeikfried : "..."

Alhazad : "Lady Harken was originally a human woman... A woman gives birth...
          Who else is more perfectly suited to give birth to anti-life than
          a Mother!"

Zeikfried : "Do it Alhazad, let the [Black Tear] rain onto the world."

Jack : "There's no way we will let you do that!!"

{The energy from the Darkness Tear is scattered throughout Filgaia.}

The Elw's teleportation device had scattered the Darkness Tear all over
Filgaia. The dark glow of the crystal severed the life line of the Guardians.
This line, called the Ray Line, spreads deep under the planet's crust.

The power that held the world together quickly diminished, as the Guardians in
each area lost their link. Nature hangs in an uncomfortable balance of an
occasional, major disruptions...

The Darkness Tear... The antithesis of the [Tear Drop]. It will suck Filgaia
dry of its life before our very eyes...

Jack : "Stop! Damn it! Stop it!"

{Jack tries to slash the Darkness Tear with his sword, however, he
is thrown back by the thing.}

Cecilia : "Jack!"

Jack : "Grrrraaaaaargh!"

{Jack slashes the Darkness Tear once, twice, but again, he's thrown away by it.
Jack stands up and slashes it the third time and it breaks apart.
From it, comes Lady Harken, who turns into a human. Rudy helps Jack to get
near to Elmina.}

Lady Harken : "Get away! Don't come near me! I'm Lady Harken, the demon
              warrior."

{She reverts to being a demon and disappears.}

Jack : *goes on his knees* "I couldn't protect her! Again, my power alone could
       not save her!" *faints*

Cecilia : "Jack! He's hurt!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alhazad : "The Darkness Tear didn't do too much damage after all. Thanks to our
          human friends here, the Guardians remain alive... I guess this plan
          turned out to be a failure..."

Zeikfried : "This wasn't a failure! This was suppose to get their attention
            on what we've accomplished."

Alhazad : "What would be the meaning of that? Ahh... I see. [Ka Dingel]..."

Zeikfried : "A thousand years ago, the legendary evil tower of [Ka Dingel] was
            sealed somewhere. We needed to know where and how we could
            find it. That was the real objective for this project. Ha, ha,
            ha... Humans, wait till I obtain the heavenly power. You will be
            thrilled by the [New Moon]... And finally Filgaia will..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{FLASHBACK. At Arctica Castle, Garrett & Elmina are together. They are
looking at the entire town from the balcony. Coldbird enters the scene.}

Coldbird : "What in the world do you think you're doing? Elmina and Garrett,
           this is the knighting ceremony. You could lose your title for this!"

{Garrett and Elmina looks at each other then, looks away again.}

Garrett : "Shoot! The old man found us!"

Coldbird : "Not an old man, but your superior as of today."

Elmina : "Chief Knight, I asked Garrett to come. It's my fault."

Coldbird : "Why are you here?"

Elmina : "You can see the entire town from here... You must find what it is
         that makes you who you are before you can utilize any of the fighting
         skills we are learning. If not, you'll always be just half a warrior.
         I thought that by looking from here, he would find something to
         protect..."

Garrett : "Something to protect? I already have that... For a good looking
          girl, I'll show you my [Courage], Elmina."

Coldbird : "The most important thing a knight should know is what he is
           protecting. That is why we, the Seven Fenril Knights, are named
           after tools of defense. I, Coldbird, am the armor. Commander Ryan,
           is the shield. Elmina is the attack."

Elmina : "I am the Sword... Lately, I have been known as the Sword Princess."

Garrett : "So... What am I called?"

Coldbird : "You're a newcomer... You will be Van Burace, the hand guard."

Garrett : "Van Burace? What is that? It sounds terrible."

Coldbird : "The sword is the key to defending against an enemy. You, Van
           Burace, are the hand guard that protects Elmina. Are you not
           satisfied?"

Garrett : "Ha ha ha... No problem. I'll guard everything... Let me at it..."
          *draws his sword* "I am Van Burace! I am a Fenril Knight as of
          today!!!"

{END FLASHBACK.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{At Adlehyde Castle, Jack is in bed. Rudy, Cecilia, & Hanpan are beside him.
He wakes up.}

Jack : "......! Rudy! Princess!"

Cecilia : "Welcome. We're back in Adlehyde."

Hanpan : "We were all worried about you."

Jack : "I was dreaming... about the past. I was supposed to protect... But...
       I didn't... Couldn't..." *stands up*
       "I had no right to badger you on your secrecy, Princess... I sacrificed
       everything to be a Van Burace. I couldn't tell you the truth about who
       I am..."

Cecilia : "Jack is a Van Burace... You're an important member of this team
          now."

{Rudy agrees.}

Jack : "Member huh... Thanks everyone... Rudy, Princess... Could you guys do
       me a favor? We have to go to Arctica. I have to go there to take care
       of some unfinished business. I cannot let her stain her hands any
       further. She's knee deep in blood and sin. I have to help and protect 
       her..."

Cecilia : "You're going to use your powers for protection!"

Jack : "I've forgotten the true nature of my sword!"

@DRAKE

 Drake : "Hey, don't you recognize me? Drake... from that idiotic wedding,
         remember? My gang and I were working on some beached ships at the
         town of Ship Graveyard when we came across some broken pats of the
         [Sweet Candy]... We laughed so hard... But then I realized that as
         much as I hated that bastard Bartholomew, we shared a love of the
         ocean and ships. So I thought I'd be nice for a change... I have a
         gift for you on the beach... Go take a look at a miracle of patchwork.
         Many ship parts were put into making that thing...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party flies the Gullwing to Arctica Castle.}

{They move deeper in the castle till they meet Lady Harken (in human form).}

Jack : "Rudy... Cecilia... I need to do this alone..."

{Cecilia and Rudy agree.}

Jack : *to Elmina* "I apologize for making you wait. I really don't want to see
       you like this if I can help it..."

Lady Harken : "My bloodstained hands will never let me go..."

Jack : *draws sword* "It's the same for me... I can't turn back. Elmina will
       laugh at me. For Elmina, I shall use my sword against you. En Garde! One
       way or another, we shall attain honor."

Lady Harken : "Everything begins and ends here today. My art does not create
              or destroy. It's the essence of pure combat that I live by.
              Come Jack. We shall taste each other's blood for the last time!"

{She turns into her demon form.}

Lady Harken : "Is this all you've got? It will never be enough!"

{Jack defeats Harken.}

Lady Harken : "You finally look like a knight."

{Harken turns into her human form then, lies on the ground.}

Jack : "Elmina...!!!"

{Jack goes near Elmina then, a ball of light goes above.}

Jack : "What is this light?"

Elmina : "You still don't get it do you? That is the light from your heart.
         The light of the [Absolute Power]. It is the power to go beyond
         yourself in order to protect the ones we love. That is the light of
         your new [Courage]..."

Jack : "Please, save your strength... Please don't talk."

Elmina : "Many precious things have slipped through your fingers. You are now
         glowing with [Courage]. It's stronger than..."

Jack : "Elmina! Open your eyes!"

Elmina : "Here are a few words for you from the dead... I don't care how boring
         or terrible things get. Protect this world, the world that provided
         for us to meet."

Jack : *looks above to the light* "I... I will not use my power for revenge.
       I will use my blade to..."

*The [Lion Idol] explodes from the light!

{Justine, the Guardian of Courage, appears.}

Justine : "I am the Guardian of [Courage]. The death of the demon knight and
          the cry of the human warrior summoned me to Filgaia once again.
          Call my name for the sake of [Courage] and you shall rise above
          yourself."

{Elmina's body floats then disappears.}

Courage Rune acquired.

Cecilia : "Jack..."

Jack : "I'm okay. Let me fight with you, for the sake of Filgaia.
       She taught me that there are things in this world worth protecting."

{The party moves on past the room and reaches the exit.}

Cecilia : "...!?!? The powers of the Guardians are going berserk inside the
          [Tear Drop]! They're trying to tell us something."

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

===================
= 1.24] Ka Dingel =
===================

Tears of darkness fell on the land. The damage to the [Ray Line] was temporary,
but it was enough to greatly weaken the Guardian's powers. The tower, hidden
deep within the ocean, was detected by Zeikfried. The technology that reached
the skies... A thousand years ago, there was residential colonies in orbit
around the planet. In those days, humans and Elws lived together. The
gigantic mechanism, [Ka Dingel] connects the land to the colony.

{Ka Dingel rises from deep within the ocean.}

Ka Dingel... The power deemed too uncontrollable to use by the Guardians,
has been found by Zeikfried. It was awakened through time and space, to show
its face once again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party leaves Arctica Castle and heads for Ka Dingel. As soon as they
enter, Boomerang and Luceid welcome them.}

Boomerang : "I knew if I waited here, you would eventually come. Zeikfried is
            after the [New Moon], called [Malduke]. This is the Dimensional
            Elevator, [Ka Dingel], which leads to the space colony."

Jack : "Why are you telling us this? What do you want?"

Boomerang : *draws his boomerang* "[Malduke] is a colony that existed 1000
            years ago that has the capability to attack Filgaia. It's easy to
            guess what Zeikfried plans to do with it once he acquires it. Now
            that you know, I'm sure you plan to head to [Malduke]... But there
            will be many people who will get in your way, including me! You
            can't go ahead unless you defeat me. Come, human warriors! Only
            battle will quench my thirsty heart! I thirst for the fight!"

{Rudy & co. fight and defeat Boomerang and Luceid.}

Boomerang : "This is... I have no regrets... I have witnessed that the
            potential of human beings is endless... Go... Go through here
            to defeat Zeikfried. I like this... A power used to protect
            something precious... Someday, I..."

{A pack of flying winged demons surround them.}

Voice of Zeikfried : "You have overstepped your bounds one too many times.
                     Boom! We are finished with you. You will die with the
                     humans! Right here, right now!"

Boomerang : "Go humans! I'll take it from here!!"

Jack : "Boomerang!"

Boomerang : "There's a transport device on the top of [Ka Dingel]. I am letting
            you guys go, I am not saving you... Remember, I am the one who
            hunts the perfect prey! Until that day, my friends... Go now!
            Hurry!"

{Cecilia, Jack, & Rudy moves forward. Rudy looks back on Boom for a second
then moves on.}

Boomerang : "I will never stop unless I lose my desire to fight... Come Luceid,
            Guardian of Desire!"

{Luceid reappears.}

Boomerang : "Luceid... We're going to take a little trip to hell, together. I
            shall return to hunt the perfect prey. If the humans turn hope
            into power, then I can turn desire into a blade..."

{Boomerang & Luceid battle the demons.  Meanwhile, the party goes
deeper in Ka Dingel.}

{Alhazad appears on their way.}

Alhazad : "You have broken one of my masterpieces. Lady Harken no longer
          functions with us... Khhk Khhk Khhk!"

Jack : "You're enjoying this, aren't you? Playing with human lives."

Alhazad : "Oh Yeah! I just want to play with my toys all day. You know, take
          an arm off... attach this here... By the time I'm done, you would
          have no idea what animal it is... Now, isn't that fun... By then,
          they look at you with these funny eyes and say, [kill me...].
          Khhk Khhk Khhk! Zeikfried wants Filgaia, but I really don't care...
          But, I can't allow you to stop my fun... So, I came here to take care
          of the problem, myself. Do you want to see the inside of this robe?
          It isn't cheap..."

{Alhazad takes off the robe and reveals his true appearance.
An ugly monster with fangs and teeth. The party battles Alhazad
till he's exhausted.}

Alhazad : "No! No way! Humans can't do that. They can't."

{Alhazad's body vibrates...}

Alhazad : "I will not accept death before [Malduke's] revival. I will not
          accept this... I will not die."

{Alhazad dies.}

Jack : "Revenge, hatred... I didn't defeat you with that. I defeated you
       because I protect the ones I love."

*The dark cloud in Jack's heart lifts away... The doubt is gone...

[Double Attack] Force acquired

two pillars near it. Jack uses the Lighter to light the pillars.}

*There's writing on it, but can't make it out...

*Some sort of writing is becoming visible in the flame... In battle, the most

Jack : "What are you doing? Aren't you a little old to be playing hide and
       seek?"

Man : "Yeah! No no no... Ha, well... I was being reprimanded. ...Well, thanks
      for the help. I should thank you in some way..."

Jack : "I wonder what he did..."

{The man runs around another man that is standing innocently.}

Jack : "You're a pickpocket!"

Cecilia : "We won't take dirty money."

Man : "How PC... Who cares how I earn my living! Money is money. Fine, I'll
      go return it... You'll regret it.

{The man returns the money.}

Man : "Don't look at me like that... I only steal from the rich. They're
      usually dumb. Just distract them a little and they're defenseless. Even
      novices can learn to pick a pocket. Just distract the target. Thus
      concludes my lesson on how to pick a pocket..."

{The man leaves.}

Hanpan : "Strange guy... He knows his trade I suppose..."

Jack : "Hey Hanpan, let's give it a try."

Hanpan : "Are we reducing ourselves to stealing now?"

Jack : "No! You're going to take a look inside the monsters' pockets while I
       fight them..."

Hanpan : "Hmmm... I'd have to go inside their pockets. Who knows what they
         keep in there..."

      technique."

*Will you spare on of your scrolls in exchange for a new technique?

-> NO
 
 Man : "I understand..."

-> YES

 Man : "Yes this is it! The [Secret Sign]! All right, here's my end of the
       bargain." There is a [Soul] in everything that exists. You can defeat an

Cecilia : "Wow, I didn't think it would blow up!"

Hanpan : "The explosion occurred because of a build up of internal pressure."

Jack : "What? In English please! English!"

Hanpan : "The energy level got too high in too close of a space. Do you know

Justine : "Are you trying to open the path to the future with the light from
          your heart? You are an artificial being. An artificial heart cannot
          bring a bright future. You cannot call the future wind. Why do you
          still seek the future of Filgaia? How can you do that?"

Raftina : "You're all alone in this world. You are a stranger who does not
          belong anywhere... How can you try to open the future to this world?
          Can you believe in dreams?"

Jack : "You never gave up... As long as you have that spirit, you'll always be
       right for this world."

Cecilia : "It is because of you, Rudy, that we were able to believe in the

            world, or at least I'm supposed to be... Why would I want this
            messed up place if it does not benefit me at all... I was napping
            because I'm bored, but if you want to fight, I will fight you.
            I must warn you though, I'm tough!"

[The party defeats Angol Moa.]

{Sometime after getting the Chrono Rune, the party passes by Milama.
 In the pub, they notice a familiar looking waitress.}

Jack : "You! No, it can't be..."

Waitress : "What? Is there something on my face? Hey, I bet I look like an
           old girlfriend, right? If you want to seduce me, you're gonna have
           to do better than that. Hey, you okay? What did I say...?"

Jack : "Never... Just ignore me."

Waitress : "Sounds like you've got problems. Do I have anything to do with it?
           You know, I have amnesia... I can't remember anything. It's really a
           pain not be able to remember your name. Those guys gave me one, but
           it just doesn't feel right. What's your name?"

Jack : "I'm Jack Van Burace."

Waitress : "I wish I could remember my name..."

Jack : "You see this ribbon... Please take it?"

Waitress : "Why are you giving this to me? I can't take this. It looks like
           it's full of memories. You don't give something like this to a
           stranger."

Jack : "There you go, preaching as usual."

Waitress : "...?! Did you say something?"

Jack : "Nothing... Sorry to bother you."

{Jack turns around.}

Waitress : "Jack! You're coming back aren't you Jack Van Burace?"

Jack : "Probably... Someday..."

C/R@WAITRESS

 Waitress : "I can't feels sorry for those with amnesia. They may be the lucky
            ones."

J@WAITRESS 

 Waitress : "You look like a [Dream Chaser]... Maybe a swordsman? Can I use
            your sword...? Just kidding."

{After the events at Gate Generator, the party passes by Saint Centour.
The town is almost empty after the demons attacked it. There is, however,
a survivor. A blind girl. They talk to her.}

Girl : "Hey, it's Rudy. There is this guy I've been seeing lately... He's a
       little weird, but he seems sincere enough."

Girl : "That voice... it's Jack. It's been a long time stranger... There been
       someone else visiting me... He's very nice to me... He's a swordsman
       too. He's a little odd, but very funny."

Girl : "This feels like... Cecilia. How are you? There's this swordsman I've
       been seeing... He's very nice, but a little hyper. I wonder if he'll
       visit me today."

{Rudy and co. leave the town when they see Zed come in.}

Zed : "You persistent bastards! Why are you here!?! Are you here to take my
      little paradise away? Here I go, ready or not. I'll crush your little..."

*Will you fight against Zed?

-> NO

 Zed : "You want to pick a fight with a guy who's in his prime? Do you know how
       dangerous that is? Well, I'm feeling generous today. Why don't you
       go..." *leaves*

-> YES

{Zed's appearance suddenly changes. He has a longer, spiky hair. He
also looks bigger.}

Zed : "This is heaven! Here I am! The Grim Reaper's pen pal! The ultimate
      macho man."

{Zed and the party battle. After a while, Zed gets exhausted.}

Zed : "Wait a minute! Give me a chance to explain!"

{Zed reverts to his former form. 
*NOTE: I copied exactly what Zed will say.*}

Zed : "Just listen to me! I won't run. There was an accident with the Gate
      Generator. I was caught in it and ended up here in this town. I didn't
      know what was happening. There were monsters everywhere. I saw this
      woman. I told her too keep quite or I would kill her... She was calm
      and quite... Later, I found out she that she was blind. For the first
      time in my life, I felt complete. She was the first person that treated
      me normally. It felt kind of nice, so I decided to stay and helped out
      around the house. I was afraid you might tell her who I was.... That is
      why I attacked... Yes, I'm a demon. Go ahead and kill me..."

Jack : "Geez, you sure talk a lot for a demon! All I need is one shot."

Zed : "Hey... You're a lot meaner than you look."

{Jack looks ready to deliver the blow.}

Cecilia : "No! Stop... I really believe Zed doesn't want to die. He has
          discovered a life other than a one for fighting... I think we let
          him stay here, in this town... Maybe he can help the blind...
          What do you think, Rudy?"

-> NO

 Zed : "Let me go! Please! I beg you to let me go!"

-> YES

Zed : "You guys are really nice people, aren't you? I'm a born again Guardian!
      I'll protect this girl with my life... We shall meet again my
      friends. Don't forget me. I'm Zed, the deviant."

{Sometime, after defeating Boomerang at the entrance of Ka Dingel, the party
comes by and accepts the challenge of the Ancient Arena once again.}

Register : "This is the Arena of Survival. The entry fee is 1000 gella.
           Do you want to enter?"

{The party agrees. They move on to the battleground.}

???? : "This is my prey! Go home and play with your toys!"

{Boomerang appears in a different outfit. He's carrying a sword instead
of his Saber Fang (boomerang).}

Boomerang Flash : "So you've been waiting for me, human warriors... To settle
                  my score with you, I came dancing all the way up from the
                  fires of hell. I've attained new powers... My obsessive
                  desire to fight bonded with the Guardian of Desire to create

{The party fights against Rang Flash. After a long fight, Boom finally gets
exhausted.}

Boomerang Flash : "Miracles... The humans' belief system that makes the
                  impossible possible. The power that protects Filgaia...
                  Looks like this is the end... Did I lose? No I did not...
                  I lived the life of a Demon Warrior! I fought and lost my

=================

{The returns to Ka Dingel and reaches the Dimensional Elevator.}

*The Dimensional Elevator's power switch. The destination is set to [Malduke].
 Do you want to turn it on?

{The party decides to fire it up.}

Jack : "So, this is the Dimensional Elevator..."

Cecilia : "The [New Moon] in the ocean of stars, [Malduke]... This will take
          us there. So, destiny takes us to the final battleground in this
          strange place..."

Jack : "There is nothing to think about. I am going now..."

Cecilia : "Not for myself, but for the planet I love..."

Jack : "I don't ever want to lose anything again."

{The dimensional elevator takes them to the New Moon, Malduke.
They move on till they find three levers with corresponding circles
and a teleporter. They flip the left lever and step on the 
teleporter.}

*Malduke, Area 31 [Residential Area] selected.
 Do you want to activate the transport?

{Rudy & co. activate it and they are sent to the Residential Area of Malduke.
They read the slab to the north.}

*This town is an illusion. Everything is a lie!

{The party can listen to different "sounds" inside the houses in this
town. Here they are:}

-Voice : "Hid... it... in... the... barrel...

-Voice : "I saw something glowing under the stairs...

-Voice : "I saw something shining from the roof of the house below...

-Voice : "You don't need the treasure..."

-Voice : "The treasure is on the other side of the well."

-Voice : "I didn't see any treasures in the cemetery..."

-Voice : "Really! You were just walking and...!!!"

-Voice : "Southwest of this town, there is a...

-Voice : "There isn't any treasure here..."

-Voice : "Left some treasure under the gate at the cemetery..."

-Voice : "We can't get to the treasure..."

-Voice : "There is a treasure in the house to the northeast."

{Knowing that everything in this town are lies, they look in the cemetery.
Behind the biggest grave in the graveyard, they find the treasure, Wings.
They go back to the Traffic Area. This time they light the blue circle and
again, step on the teleporter.}

*Malduke, Area 21 [Statue Area] selected.
 Do you want to activate the transport?

{The party agrees. They are sent into the Statue Area of Malduke.
To the north, they read a stone slab.}

*Malduke's three areas are regulated by three holy keys, the [Eye],
 the [Wings] and the [Arms]. These three holy keys will guide the holder
 to the central control.

{There is a slab here, telling where an optional boss is. They read it.}

*Do not retreat... Retreat means decay... The golem, [Lucifer] sleeps there.
 It has not lost any of its powers. Only a fool who does not know the true
 power of a golem would challenge [Lucifer] and [Sado].

{They explore the area till they find the Arms. Then, they return
to Area 11. They make the red circle glow then, step on the
teleporter.}

*Malduke, Area 41 [Mine Area] selected.
 Do you want to activate the transport?

{The party agrees and they are taken to the Mine Area of Malduke.
To the north is a stone slab. They read it.}

*If the spirit of the machine is good, then the machine will glow faintly
 blue. It will lead the righteous. If the spirit of the machine is evil,
 then the machine will glow bright red. It will lead the evil.

{There is a stone slab here, telling us about another optional boss.}

*The circle still binds the thousand year old power of [Sado]. The awakening
 of the golem will occur with the arrival of the [Maya] songs.

{The party gets the Eye on this area and then leaves for Area 11.
They find a room with three pedestals and a sealed door.}

Left Pedestal : "I am Malduke, ruler of the Sea of Stars. Go to the Altar and
                present my wings that encompass the heavens."

Central Pedestal : "I am Malduke, ruler of the Sea of Stars. Go to the Altar
                   and present my all seeing eye."

Right Pedestal : "I am Malduke, ruler of the Sea of Stars. Go to the Altar and
                 present my arms that divide the continents."

{They place the Wings, Eye, and Arms on the pedestals. The door opens.
The party passes by it and moves on. Along the way, they are caught by a
searchlight.}

*Intruder alert! Area 51! Sending the Golem, Berial... 3...2...1...0!

{They fight and defeat the golem on wheels. They press forward and
reaches the door that leads to Malduke Central Control room.}

*[Malduke Central Control] Do you want to enter?

{The party agrees. They move north to the central control, where 
they can view Filgaia. There, they find Zeikfried.}

Zeikfried : "You're late... Or should I say, too late. Look at the tiny little
            planet down there. That's your Filgaia. Watch as it shatters into
            oblivion!"

Jack : "No! You can't do that!"

Zeikfried : "Malduke isn't your ordinary colony, it has ground assault
            capabilities. A thousand year old human city in the sky...
            Now, it's mine to do as I choose. Burn! Burn to the ground!
            Pure power does not discriminate! All power is destined to
            destroy!"

Cecilia : "Filgaia is our home. We won't allow this!"

{The party battles Zeik. Rudy & co. win against him.}

Zeikfried : "I cannot fail yet... I have to.... stay... myself.
            I cannot control... It's too early for this... I will not give
            up my body... Aaaaarrggh!"

Cecilia : "Destruction will not bring our future, Zeikfried. You lose."

Zeikfried : "Lose? Fool! You haven't got a clue! Destruction is just the
            beginning!"

Jack : "Is that right, Zeikfried?"

Zeikfried : "The power of absolute darkness. The eternal nothingness will
            devour Filgaia with teeth of fire! You cannot avoid death...
            Watch as your planet's last flame of life goes out!"

{Darkness engulfs Filgaia.}

Cecilia : "Stop! Please, stop it now! What do you want with a world where
          nothing exists?" What benefit is there in suffering like this..."

Zeikfried : "Khhk Khhk Khhk! Cry out! Repent! Your defeat gives me such a
            warm feeling inside... It feels so good... Now, the pure extinction
            of life begins... This is your final lesson, humans! All will come
            to a sudden halt, like a machine being turned off... There is
            nothing beyond the end of life..."

{Zeikfried disappears. Lights flash. The party appears
to be in another dimension. A familiar being appears.}

Cecilia : "It... It can't be... This force is the same as Mother..."

Motherfried : "I am Motherfried... I have become one with my beloved child.
              I have returned, reborn of my own flesh!"

Cecilia : "Zeikfried has been engulfed, like a baby being cradled by a mother."

Jack : "Wow! This is getting out of hand. That thing grew up inside of
       Zeikfried and basically consumed him to become the thing that we're
       fighting now!"

Motherfried : "I am the ultimate beauty... The rejoining of a mother and her
              child... Satisfy me with your last dance of agony!"

{The party battles Motherfried. After dealing considerable damage to the
creature...}

Motherfried : "Even if my flesh is destroyed, I will always have a home
              at the end of time... Filgaia will not be able to escape the
              darkness that is upon it... Nothing can stop the end from
              arriving..."

{Motherfried looks like she's having a hard time to breathe. She
disappears, as if getting sucked in the dimension. Cecilia & co.
notice Filgaia still engulfed in darkness.}

Cecilia : "All that we've accomplished was for nothing?! It's all coming to
          an end!?"

{Bright energy begins to gather above them.}

Cecilia : "I don't think so... I feel the power... I'm not going to let this
          happen!"

Jack : "No way! We must do something about this."

Cecilia : "I can see so clearly now! I can feel the life energy from the
          [Tear Drop]. The [Tear Drop] is responding to the power of
          protection. The power of the Guardians!"

Jack : "We fight because we have something worth protecting! That is why we
       believe in miracles!"

{The Tear Drop emits a bright light.}

"The bright light of the [Tear Drop]... Did the spirit of a thousand years
past come back to life?"

Cecilia : "Their voice is in my heart again... Has the power of the Guardians
          been restored?"

"The [Tear Drop] is glowing, just as it did in the days when Filgaia was
still a rich and fertile land. The power to behold! Ohh, the power...
All of the Guardians have gathered together onto this shaman child! We
shall rid this planet of darkness once and for all...."

"[Tear Drop]! Give us the power once more..."

{The darkness that engulfed Filgaia fades.}

Jack : "The darkness has faded."

Cecilia : "This is the power of the Guardians and the [Tear Drop]. This is
          the [Absolute Power]!"

"We are the protectors of Filgaia and the [Tear Drop]. Behold...
You humans have experienced the wounds of our land and the hearts
of the people... Somehow, you have found your faith again and you
have created a better future for Filgaia and yourselves. It will take
time, but as long as people care enough for the planet, the flow of
decay can be reversed. Purity of the heart makes the impossible possible.
You humans are the real Guardians of Filgaia... You hold the key to Filgaia's
future."

Cecilia : "Humans are the Guardians of Filgaia?"

"Not all humans have the light in their heart... But, we sense that it will
not be too long before everyone does."

{The Tear Drop emits a blue glow, then disappears.}

Jack : "It will take a miracle indeed to accomplish that."

Cecilia : "This isn't the end, but a new beginning. Rudy, Jack, let's get back
          to Filgaia."

{It seems that everything's so peaceful now.
Rudy & co. go to a Dimensional Elevator, not too far from where they are.}

*This is the power switch for the Dimensional Elevator. The destination
 reads [Ka Dingel]. Do you want to activate it?

{The party fires up the Dimensional Elevator. On the artificial space, down to
Filgaia, a being approaches them.}

Zeik Tuvai : "Don't think you're getting off that easy! We're not done yet!"

Cecilia : "That voice... Is that Zeikfried?"

Jack : "Didn't he get eaten by Mother and absorbed within her?"

Zeik Tuvai : "I ditched Mother and returned from hell. I am Zeik Tuvai,
             the Revenge Blade! In this artificial place, between the land
             and the sky... Your destiny will end here. You can die by my
             blade or be crushed between the dimensions, the choice is yours."

{Zeik battles the party. However, his power is still not enough to beat them.}

Zeik Tuvai : "Look, I have given you so much damage in this unstable
             artificial space. As I said before, battle in artificial space
             is very risky. Our previous battle was nothing compared to this.
             We will all be blown away! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. No one can
             beat me. Someone who is destined to rule cannot lose."

{Zeik gets sucked away, scattering in space. They party continues to
descend to Filgaia. A bright light surrounds them.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{The party gets teleported outside the exploding tower of Ka Dingel.
The Earth Golem is beside them. The trio wakes up.}

Jack : "The targeting system is off. The stress of the previous battle is
       taking its toll on Ka Dingel..."

{The eye of the Earth Golem sparkles. He moves to defend Cecilia & co.}

Cecilia : "The Earth Golem! What?! I haven't asked for..."

{The Earth Golem activates its Anti-Phasing Shield.}

Jack : "The [Anti-Phasing Shield]...! Will it work? The tower can't hold the 
       pressure any longer. The only thing left is to believe in the 
       [Anti-Phasing Shield]..."

{The tower breaks apart. A whirl of yellow surround the party.
The Earth Golem continue to defend them and breaks his right arm.}

Jack : "Wow! Now that's a defensive mechanism! Princess, have the Earth Golem
       keep the shield up until the explosion dies..." 

Cecilia : "No, I... I didn't do anything. He's doing it on his own...
          As if he has his own will... Please stop, Earth Golem! You're going
          to die... Thank you, Earth Golem... I can feel you in my heart.
          You're more than just a fighting machine." 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Cecilia moves toward the nearly buried Earth Golem.}

Cecilia : "Hi Earth Golem... Are you asleep? You sure did well... I want to
          stay here with you as long as I can, but... There are a lot of things
          left for me to do in Filgaia. The next time you wake up, I promise
          you will see a peaceful Filgaia. You will be surrounded by joyous 
          people and nature... Until that day comes... Good night, Earth
          Golem..."

{The Tear Drop emits a bright light.}

Cecilia : "Good night..."

================

{Jack and Rudy are walking on a road near Adlehyde.}

Jack : "Rudy... Sometimes, I can't believe we're traveling like this... And
       that we survived that huge explosion... I felt like... I woke up and
       it was morning. You and the princess were preparing for the journey."

Hanpan : "That's not like you. You still don't believe in reality?"

Jack : "Oh, I just remembered. The princess gave me a letter. She said I 
       shouldn't read it until we left the castle. Hey, Hanpan. Why don't you
       read it now."

Hanpan : "Me?!" 
 
Jack :  "Yes, it's your job..."

{Rudy hands the letter to Hanpan and he reads it.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Everyone is gathered around Cecilia as she's asleep in bed. 
The Tear Drop glows and she wakes up.}

  "I wonder where everyone will be when you read this letter? I wonder if it
  will be sunny, or if it will be raining? Maybe it's because I experienced 
  a painful battle, but I feel very comfortable in this ordinary life."

{The ruined Earth Golem is shown on the screen.}

  "Because of the protection from the Earth Golem, we were able to return
  to Filgaia again. However, the Earth Golem has returned to its slumber.
  He will never wake up again. He doesn't have to be a fighting machine
  anymore. Good night, Earth Golem... When you can sleep peacefully, the
  world is full of tender light and peace. This is how it should be... But
  to tell the truth, I am very lonely."

{Cecilia appears to be kneeling in her father's grave. A bundle of flowers
is noticeable above it. Jack and Rudy approaches her. Cecilia stands up
to greet them.}

  "I was shocked when I heard the two of you were leaving... I thought we
  would always be together."

{Cecilia is on the castle, viewing Adlehyde.}

  "I will never forget the days, when the weight of Filgaia was on our
  shoulders. If it weren't for you guys, I would have
  been crushed under the burden. I was able to overcome the painful journey
  because of you. You lent a hand to such a lonely heart. Because of that,
  I developed the selfish thought of the three of us always being together."

{A scene shows Rudy, Jack, & Cecilia in Adlehyde. They are surrounded by kids.
Rudy and Jack are laughing while Hanpan is entertaining the kids.}

{The three of them are walking. Suddenly a group of people appear,
chasing Jack and back to where Rudy and Cecilia are. Hanpan appears
and the people chase Hanpan. Jack runs after them.}

{There is a ceremony. Several Adlehyde soldiers are lined up. 
The party, along with several soldiers & the minister, walks toward
the exit of Adlehyde.}

  "Filgaia is not free of all the monsters... People will still need
  my sword... That is why I must go on... Jack, I never thought you would
  say such things... You must have something new within yourself.
  I guess I wasn't the only one who's life has changed."

{Jack waves to Cecilia before he and Rudy depart on a journey.}

  "You two have departed on a journey because you choose to follow the new
  desires in your hearts."

{Cecilia appears to be reading a book in her room. She decides to walk out
to the balcony. Her hair goes with the wind.}

  "I too have decided to follow the new desires in my heart. The Princess of
  Adlehyde shouldn't live like this, but it's my decision, as an ordinary
  human being. I will no longer force myself to be the [perfect princess].
  From now on, I will be an ordinary 17 year old girl. I will think hard and
  be honest to myself."

{Cecilia appears to be preparing to leave on a journey. She drags a
suitcase with her.}

  "If you want to be cared by someone, you must care for someone else first.
  You, Rudy, taught me this lesson..."

{Cecilia is talking to Minister Johan regarding her decision to leave
the castle. Johan appears to be surprised by her decision.}

  "I can't stand watching Filgaia deteriorate. I must do something.
  I want to protect what I care for. This is my new desire."

{Cecilia is walking through Adlehyde. She stops as the wind blows.}

  "Today, the west wind blew through Adlehyde again. A wind which promises 
  prosperity. I pray this wind takes my desires beyond the horizon..."

  "P.S.
  The two of you should be receiving something that you forgot from
  Adlehyde soon. Don't be lazy, make sure you take it."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jack : "So, the princess is also starting on her new journey..."

Hanpan : "Where?!"

Jack : "It doesn't matter! As long as she's doing it of her own free will...
       I'm sure she'll turn Adlehyde into a good kingdom."

Hanpan : "She used to hate royalty so much?!"

Jack : "Well, the life of royalty is very complicated. Right, Rudy!!"

{Rudy nods. Then, they move on in their journey.}

Jack : "Oh yeah... The letter mentioned something we forgot. Rudy, it must
       have been you. What did you forget, you careless kid?"

Hanpan : "He's not like you, Jack. I wonder what it is?"

Jack : "This is too much. You deal with it!"

{Rudy, Jack, and Hanpan walks past a tree. Cecilia comes out from behind 
that tree and stands behind them.}

Cecilia : "I told you he'd be lazy!"

{They look back at her.}

Jack : "What...what are you doing here?!"

Cecilia : "Am I not supposed to be here? I'm delivering to you, the item that
          you forgot."

{Rudy and Hanpan look at each other, confused.}

Hanpan : "And what is that?" 

Cecilia: *giggles* Haven't you figured it out yet?"

{She turns around and raises her wand.} 

Cecilia : "So, where are we going?"

Jack : "Wait a minute! You said you found what you wanted to do in your
       letter. What's going to happen to Adlehyde?"

Cecilia : "You're right, Jack. I have to do something to save my precious 
          Filgaia from deteriorating. Minster Johan will take care of Adlehyde,
          in my absence. Don't worry... I've decided to live true to the
          desires of my heart. We just happened to be on the same path today."

Hanpan : "Just happened to be!? Today?! Are you sure about this..."

Cecilia : "Yes, it's a coincidence. Today, tomorrow and forever!
          I guarantee it! Right, Rudy?!"

{Cecilia grabs Rudy's arm and runs away with him.}

Jack : "Hey! Don't leave us here!!"

{Jack and Hanpan run after Rudy and Cecilia.}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Rudy, Jack, and Cecilia stand by the edge of a cliff.}

Jack : "Look... this is the land we have been protecting..."

Cecilia : "It wasn't only us... There was Professor Emma, Jane, McDullen, the
          Captain, and Mariel... Every single desire that lives on Filgaia
          and..."

{The trio looks back and then above. The birds are flying
peacefully in the clear sky.}

                                                                            END
