Table of contents

Krup

Inn

Ryre
Oooo...Rudy... don't look so miserable...ow...ooo!
Rudy
Ryre...don't give up...!
Hahn
Ryre! You've got to make it!
Saya
What on earth is this illness she has?! I've never seen anyone seem to be in so much pain. It's almost amazing she's still conscious. She really is strong-willed!

Outside

Young man A
This is the village of Krup.
Young man B
Well, Tonoe is north of here but the road to Tonoe is like a maze. What a curiosity seeker you must be to want to go to a place like that.
Woman
Thank you for everything you've done for Hahn.
Man
This village's most successful citizen is Hahn, the armorer's only son. He's a professor at at Motavia Academy. We're really proud of him.

Armorer's house

Hahn's father
So Hahn, you've learnt to say some mighty cheeky things. It seems like just yesterday that you were taking your first baby steps.
Hahn's mother
Dear, Hahn is an adult now.

School

Boy A
Teacher says to study on our own for a while. It's lonely without her.
Boy B
Since the teacher is gone, maybe I should go to the bathroom now.
Boy C
Yeah, so he's hurt, but Saya is one good natured person to stay by the side of a hunter that her fiancee hired!
Rudy
Oh.
Girl A
Is that lady in the red dress sick? Hope she gets better soon!
Girl B
Teacher says to study on our own for a while. It's lonely without her.

Piata

Motavia Academy

First floor

Young man A
Really, I didn't know Hahn knew such uncivilized people!

Aiedo

Guards
This is Aiedo, --- a fluid town. All kinds of things flow in and out, from all over the place. Why, if it isn't Rudy. Where's Ryre? Is anything wrong with her?
Young man A
Hi Rudy. Isn't Ryre with you today?
Woman
There are two weapons and armor stores in this town. If you want good quality stuff you'd better go to the store near the Hunter's Guild.
Guard
I'd say that 'Ryre the Eight Stroke Knife' is the most skilled person in these parts. Come to think of it, I haven't seen her around lately. I wonder what happened to her?
Hunter A
I'm a hunter, but... I haven't been able to find work lately. That's because there's some woman called Ryre who's getting all the work.
Hunter B
Hey there! How dare you bump into me and pass on without a word? Oh, it's you, Rudy. Give my regards to Ryre, will you?

House 3

Old woman
You're talking about Ryre who lives out back. Oh yes, she's a good girl! It looks like she is presently working on a pretty dangerous job. She's really kind to children, and when she puts her mind to it, she can do anything, from cooking, to fighting, to poetry! The next time she comes home, I'm going to take it upon myself to find her a good husband!

Tinkerbell's house

Young man
I had no choice. I went to the Hunters' Guild and asked fortheirr help. I'm sure only a hunter who is really bored and has too much spare time would undertake dog searching.

Mito's house

Mito
Is that right? Ryre is... I should have forcibly prevented her from leaving...

Bar

Barkeeper
Children shouldn't be in a place like this, Rudy.

Hunters' Guild

Hunter D
Ryre sure is one attractive woman, but she won't give me the time of day. I guess she's got a man in her life... Come to think of it, I haven't seen her around lately.
Barkeeper
Ryre hasn't been coming in recently. I wonder if she's on a prolonged job? It's kind of lonely without her around!
Guard C (kneeling)
Just a little lower!
Rudy
Er...
Fal
Rudy, let's get going!
Bunny woman A
Hey Rudy, you sure have guts to come here without being accompanied by an adult!

Prison

Prisoner
Blast! I'll dig a hole in the floor!

Aiedo, house near graves

Old woman
It's a fact that not too many people have had their bones buried here by choice. But, we humans, we die when we die.

Machine Center

(approach it)

Rudy
Yikes! You scared me!
Rena
Please, feel free to enter.

(inspect controls)

Rena
I'm so sorry. What an embarrassing mistake on my part... Unless we have a 'control key' we won't be able to initialize the machine.

(approach controls)

Fal
This place is still alive... It has become independent from Seed and Nurvus!
Rena
A lot of other machines are housed here, but they haven't been used for a long time. They probably need some repairs.
Rudy
I have no idea what these machines are, but this is some place. You're pretty adept at handling these machines. Were you caught by Zio while you were trying to get the system back under control?
Rena
Yes, that's right. Zio is very violent.
Pike
Very funny.
Rena
Defeating Zio is not going to solve the problem.
Fal
What? Isn't the system being out of control a result of Zio's doing?
Rena
Yes, that's so. The real cause of the problem is that 'Zelan' has been issuing abnormal commands.
Fal
Impossible! Not Zelan!
Rudy
Zelan, what's that?
Rena
'Zelan' is the comprehensive control base that controls the Algo solar system's environmental maintenance system. It's an orbiting station on the other side of Motavia.
Pike
Wow.
Rudy
It will be quite a challenge to get there.
Pike
First, let's think about defeating Zio and stopping Nurvus!
Rudy
Yeah, you're right. It's not enough just defeating Zio? If that's the case this makes me worry about... Dark Force!
Rena
Don't worry, it'll be alright! I'll start the Land Master moving! Let's go outside. The Land Master will be waiting. Look at this luster, this massiveness! What a functionally beautiful design! Don't you find it just fascinating!
Rudy
Oh, er...yes!

Monsen

Outside

Old woman
Huh? You're strangers? You must have a strange sense of fun, to visit Monsen.
Man
You're asking about The Ladea Tower? Yes, I think it lies beyond the peninsula to the east.
Old man
That quicksand was just a small area, but now it's growing year by year. Presently, Monsen is a deserted island on land, with no interaction with any other community.
Young woman
You're going to the peninsula? There's a village called Termi there, but... because of the quicksand we haven't been able to get there. I wonder if they're OK?
Young man A
This store's business is booming due to the earthquakes! They're taking unfair advantage of the situation and raising their prices!
Young man B
Th...there've been earthquakes recently...
Pike
Ahhhhh! Help!
Rudy
Yikes! Wh...what's wrong, Pike!
Fal
Oh, I get it! Pike's afraid of earthquakes, aren't you, Pike!
Rudy
Huh? Is that true?
Pike
What if I am afraid? I can't help it!
Fal
Ha, ha, ha! What a coward!
Pike
Oh, shut up!
Rudy
At any rate, with earthquakes happening so often like this, it's a real problem.
Rena
I'm sure...that the Plate System is the cause of all this!
Rudy
Plate System?
Rena
It's a system located just north of here which controls Motavia's planet surface. I'm sure that system is malfunctioning!
Pike
Well, if that's the case, let's hurry up shut it down!
Young man A
What? You are going to stop these earthquakes?
Young woman
Oh, thank you very much!
Rudy
What? Er... we're kind of busy...
Man
Oh, you'll do it? Ahhhhh!
Rudy
But...
Man
I wish you luck!
Young man B
Oh great, you guys will do something about the situation? I appreciate it.

(inspect sign before crack)

Rudy
It says 'Danger: Cracks in the Ground No Trespassing'

Inn

Bald man
With all these earthquakes, we won't get any customers. Boo hoo...
Hunter A
I'm a traveling hunter. What a mess with all the sand worms around here! Just because they don't chase you if you run away from them, don't get any ideas about trying to battle them!
Hunter B
With all these sand worms... The parents will not let their children play outside... I guess they're just being safe.

House 1

Young woman
At that village Termi on the peninsula there, I believe they've enshrined some heroine of yore. Lemme see...A...Ali...Ali... I think they said her name was Alis?

Tool shop

Man
Ha, ha, ha. If the earthquake has broken your goods, buy your replacements at this store!
Shopkeeper
My husband is making cracks in the wares so they would break easily! I am so ashamed, I just can't face my neighbors!

House 2

Old man
My son and his wife used to be living next door, but... They've up and left this town, just abandoning us.
Old woman
This is just between you and me, My son's wife, she's one deprived person! Actually I'm quite relieved that she's gone.

House 3

Eddie
There's a crack in the ground right in front of our house. I'm afraid that the children will fall into it.
Boy
I wonder if you can get to the other side of the planet if you fall into that crack?

House 4

Young woman
Hey, you. Did you see the house next door? I'm scared to death every time an earthquake occurs, thinking when this house is going to be like that one!

Plate System

(open chest)

Rudy
What? There's some weird machines here.
Rena
Weird! Don't be so rude. These are spare parts for androids.
Fal
Spare parts?
Rena
Yes, they look like weapon units that are installed internally. Let's see...they seem to be in working order. And they look like they will fit my body. I will install them right away. Will you close your eyes and turn your back?
Rudy
Huh? Why?
Fal
Just do it, Rudy!
Rudy
Oh...
Rena
Hmmm... OK everybody, I'm done. Now I'm powered up!
Rudy
I don't see that anything has changed.
Rena
It looks that way doesn't it? Well, soon you shall see.
Rudy
Huh?
Rena
It's the new weapon 'Phononmezer!' I can't wait to try it out!

(inspect control center)

Rena
This is the control center of the Plate System!
Pike
The system is down! Now there won't be any more earthquakes! Hooray!
Rena
Yes, we'll be all right for the time being. But this doesn't solve the problem you know. The abnormalities will not go away unless we stop Nurvus, and in particular, Zelan!
Fal
Yes, you're right... And, in order to do so...first, we must get to Zio!
Rudy
Right!

(inspect control center again)

Rudy
...OK, it's stopped. Good, god.

Monsen (after shutting down the Plate System)

Outside

Old woman
Ah, this town of Monsen has become a peaceful town.
Woman
Ah, this town of Monsen has become a peaceful town.
Young man A
When the earthquakes subside, I'll never again buy anything from this store!
Young man B
I wasn't able to get any peace of mind what with the earthquakes, but how quiet it is now! It's so quiet, it's almost eerie.
Young woman
The earthquakes have subsided and it looks like the quicksand is getting smaller!

Inn

Bald man
Maybe we'll finally get some customers now.

Tool shop

Man
When the earthquakes stopped, suddenly nobody came to shop here anymore.
Shopkeeper
This must be divine punishment! You're really dumb...

House 4

Young woman
You say there'll be no more earthquakes? I wonder if that's true?

Termi

Outside

Young woman A
My, you must be strangers here. This is Termi. This is a village that worships a heroine of yore.
Young woman B
This village has a lot of history. Apparently, a heroine came to visit, and took to this town greatly!
Old woman
The statue of the heroine is atop that hill. It is said that even the most skilled stone mason could not do justice to her beauty.
Old man
You don't know about our heroine? You'll be stricken with divine punishment! She is a great person, who, long, long ago, confronted the evil wizard and conquered him.
Man
This is the Hill of the Person of Courage. Isn't it romantic? Perfect for a couple, isn't it?
Young man A
Oh, The Ladea Tower? That's located down south of this village. Come to think of it, there was some other person the other day who said he was heading for the tower too. He was tall and was gazing at the statue of the heroine for quite a while.
Young man B
This heroine of ours was beautiful. I admire her!

Inn

Man
Ah, there's lots of greenery and the smell of the sea! Here's the statue of the heroine. But with that quicksand getting bigger and bigger...

House 1

Young woman A
This heroine of the past you talk about, she put her adversary down by force, right? Only uncivilized people would do something like that.
Young woman B
I can smell the urge to fight in you! It may be a necessary evil in order to survive, but I don't like it! I don't like you guys! Please leave!

House 2

Young woman
It is a fact there were a series of earthquakes, but I left home because I got sick and tired of that mean old lady! Return to Monsen? That's a joke!
Man
At first, I thought little about moving to Termi, but... Now with the quicksand, I can't go home when ever I want to. And my wife, the way she's carrying on...

Equipment shop

Young man A
In the past, a spell binder came to town and taught to put feelings in metal. And this is the store that has inherited that spell.
Young man B
It's been said that The Ladea Tower was erected by the spell binder who came to town in the past. I'm sure this story has gotten a little exaggerated. After all it's an old story.

Gift shop

Young man
Are you guys tourists? Won't you buy 'Alis-Sword'? I'll give you a discount!

Ladea Tower

(approach Rein)

Rudy
Rein! So you were here after all!
Rein
You've come, Rudy! Amazing that you got all the way up here with those short legs of yours!
Rudy
Rein, this is no time for jokes! I implore you. Give us your assistance!
Rein
Hey? What happened to Ryre? Is something wrong?
Rudy
Well, the fact is...
Rein
Is that right... Such a thing happened... Ryre... But let's not be hasty. As long as we have the 'Psycho-wand'...
Fal
'Psycho-wand'?
Rein
Yep, I came here to get it. The Psycho-wand is the only weapon that can break through Zio's magic barrier!
Rudy
So...Rein!
Rein
The Psycho-wand is supposedly sealed up in the uppermost level of The Ladea Tower. I haven't got my hands on it yet. I'm on my way to get it now. Will you accompany me? Once you find the Psycho-wand, I will be more than happy to lend a helping hand.
Rudy
OK, OK, I get it.

(approach Psycho-wand)

Rudy
So, this is the Psycho-wand!
Rein
We can now break the barrier!
Gy-Laguiah
Ha, ha, ha! This is it! I've been waiting for this moment! Upon the decree of Zio I am taking the Psycho-wand!
Pike
You're Zio's underling!?
Rein
Hmmph, what a brain dead kid you are. Rudy, don't give him the Psycho-wand!
Rudy
You don't have to tell me that! Stop ordering me around all the time!
Fal
Come on! Is this any time to bicker? It's coming!

(get Psycho-wand)

Rudy
We did it! So, as long as we have this Psycho-wand, there's no need to fear Zio.
Rena
You two, is anything wrong?
Rein
Fal...you too!
Fal
Rein...
Pike
What's going on, you two?
Rein
Rudy! We've got to return to Krup right away!
Rudy
Huh?
Rein
Get a move on it! We're leaving!
Hahn
Rudy! Ryre's condition has suddenly taken a turn for the worse!
Rudy
Ryre!
Ryre
...Rudy...were able to... meet Rein? That's goo..d...
Rudy
Ryre! Ryre! Rein! Can't you do anything with your powers!?
Rein
'The Black Wave' is not a product of Zio alone. It contains an even more evil power which I can't cure.
Ryre
Rudy...don't worry. Rudy... ...Re...in...
Rein
I'm here... I'm right here...Ryre.
Ryre
...Rein...Please help... Rudy...Rein... Don't worry... Leave it to me...
Rudy
Ryre...
Ryre
Rudy...come here... let me take a good look at you... You've become a honorable adult...before I knew it... From now on... you have to carve out... your own destiny... by yourself...
Rudy
Ryre! Don't say that! Ryre!!!
Ryre
Ru...dy...Thank...you...
Rudy
Ryre...
Fal
...Waaaaaaaaaa!
Rein
You can't sleep?
Rudy
What...am I doing?
Rein
Rudy?
Rudy
In a far off country, before Ryre picked me up, I did some pretty bad things. When I joined forces with Ryre as a hunter... I was at last able to earn some money, and live a pretty comfortable life. Everything seemed to be going fine... But now...Ryre is gone. Of course I want to avenge her death, but what am I to do? Should I fight? If so, what for?
Rein
Money, huh... Do you really think that Ryre was fighting just for money?
Rudy
What?
Rein
Is fighting technique the only thing you learned from Ryre?
Rudy
I...
Rein
You better think it over!
Fal
Hey, Rudy? I'm thinking... it was really a good thing that I was able to get out of the Bio-plant. I've learned so much from Seed. About oceans, mountains, towns, and people! There's a big difference between knowledge attained from studying and actual real life experiences Like, the smell of the ocean, the blue of the mountain, the bustling of a town, and the warmth of people.
Rudy
Thank you, Fal. I get it, it's OK...
Hahn
I'm going to return to the academy. I think it's best to report on what has happened so far. I plan to convince the academy to come up with plan of action.
Rudy
Good. I'm counting on you, Hahn!
Saya
I'm also going to return home. The children are waiting for me.
Hahn
Rudy, keep your spirits up!
Rudy
OK! We'd better go too!

Krup

Armorer's house

Hahn's father
This armor shop was started in my grandfather's generation. And now it's all over, maybe it's for the best!
Hahn's mother
Hahn...so you're leaving again... Come back and show your face once in a while.

School

Boy A
Everybody's mothers are congregating and looking sad. Did something happen?
Boy B
Oh dear! Your eyelids are red! You were teased, weren't you?
Boy C
When the time comes, humans die no matter how old they are. I'm sorry I said such a terrible thing the other day.
Girl A
Is it true that the lady in the red dress isn't here anymore?
Girl B
Hey, where did that lady in the red dress go?
Saya
Oh, that such a thing has happened to Ryre... Keep your spirits up Rudy and best of luck.

Piata

Motavia Academy

Principal's room

Principal
I just don't want to get involved. Please don't come here any more.
Hahn
Hey, everybody. Long time no see! But...it won't work... The upper management of this academy is hard-headed. They're such cowards. They won't do anything for us.
Holt
Hahn... I want to help you somehow but...

Zio's fort

(inspect barrier)

Rein
Everybody, out of the way! ...One, two, three!
Rena
Underneath here is Nurvus, the center of the entire control system!
Rudy
Zio...is Zio in there?
Rein
Rudy, I know how you feel, but... right now, we've got to shut down Nurvus!
Rena
We don't have time to talk about it! We must hurry!

Nurvus

(inspect terminal)

Fal
Rena, can't you send an interrupt command to Nurvus from this terminal?
Rena
Impossible! Presently, Nurvus is not accepting input from the outside. We can't even access the system unless we get inside it's nucleus!

(approach control center)

Zio
Well, well... You've made it here...it was to be expected. You should be aware that one step further is the road to your death. I won't let you escape this time! Oh, reverent one! Lend me power!

(defeat Zio)

Zio
This...this can't be I'm supposed to be immortal! Oh, why... Why do you abandon me? Dark Fo...Aaaargh!
Pike
We did it! We've defeated Zio! Yahoooooooooo!
Rudy
Ryre!
Rena
At this point we're not going to be able to stop Nurvus' with normal operations. I am going to connect myself to Nurvus' system and forcibly enter it.
Rudy
Forcible entry?!
Rena
Yes, this is good bye, Rudy.
Fal
Rena!
Rena
Good bye everybody... Thanks for everything. Access main system... Issue top priority interrupt...
Rudy
Has...has it stopped?
Rena
The operation is a success.
Fal
Rena! Where are you now?
Rena
I'm in Nurvus' control center. Right now, we have a condition where all the systems that have been maintaining Motavia are all halted. Now there won't be any more disasters. With all the systems that maintain the environment halted, sooner or later, the entire planet will become a barren land. Unless we restore the functions of each system!
Fal
To do that we'll have to do something about Zelan.
Rena
That's right. As long as the satellite is emitting these abnormal signals, we cannot gain control of the system.
Fal
Rudy. Why don't we go?
Rudy
...OK! Let's go to Zelan!
Pike
But, this Zelan, isn't it located in outer space?
Rena
Don't worry. An emergency shuttle is available at Nurvus. It's being readied for you. Please use it. I won't be able to leave here just now. I must stay and maintain each of these systems. At Zelan, you should find my master, 'Forn.'
Fal
Forn? I know him! When I was at the Bio-plant, I often telecommunicated with him! About half a year ago, I was unable to reach him on the communication circuits, I've been concerned! Please locate Forn at Zelan...
Rena
Well, good luck with Zelan everybody... Be careful.
Pike
Rudy...I'm sorry, but...
Rudy
I know, I know. You just can't leave your little sister.
Pike
Exactly. Sorry.
