So, like with the storyline dialogue enhancement thread, we will keep all commentary to the commentary thread. This thread will be for all of the enhanced sidequests, and may be added onto when we get to new sidequests. Also, all sidequest dialogue will begin with Gaspar's line, to preface the sidequest, essentially, and is not considered an actual line of dialogue for the sidequest.
So, let us begin!
BEGIN "Fiona's Forest!"
{Gaspar}: In the Middle Ages, a forest is revived through{line break}
the sheer will of a woman's heart...{full break}
*backtrack to Zeal Palace, first time there*
{Botanist}: Oh, hello strange travelers! Do you like plants?{line break}
Yes.
No.{full break}
(If no){Botanist}: Oh...nevermind, then.{full break}
(If yes){Botanist}: You do? Wonderful! I love them too...{line break}
they can be so beautiful...{page break}
But...the Queen ordered me to burn this sapling I received{line break}
from the Guru of Life.{page break}
And yet the Guru said it was a magical sapling with the{line break}
powers to preserve greenery and enrich the environment.{page break}
I...I hesitate to ask, strangers...but what should I do?{line break}
Burn it. You can't disobey your Queen.
Secretly plant it...the Queen is wrong.{full break}
(If burn){Botanist}: Of course...the Queen is right, as{line break}
always...{full break}
(If plant){Botanist}: ...you're right! I...I cannot burn{line break}
this sapling even on the Queen's orders...to do such a thing{line break}
to a gift from the Guru of Life...{page break}
Understood...I will plant this sapling with care somwhere.{line break}
Perhaps one day it will be used to restore an environment{line break}
to rich, full life.{full break}
*zip to Fiona's Hut, 600 A.D.*
{Fiona}: My husband Marco...he's finally home from the war!{line break}
He fought at Zenan Bridge with you...thank you for keeping{line break}
him safe!{full break}
{Marco}: Relax, Fiona...from now on, we'll be together for{line break}
good, okay?{full break}
*player speaks with Fiona and Marco after telling plant woman to plant her
sapling*
*Fiona looks at party*
{Fiona}: Oh, {char1}! I have a favour to ask of you, if you{line break}
could.{full break}
*PCs do questioning gesture*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: Sure, what is it?{full break}
{Lucca}: We'd love to help, Fiona. What can we do?{full break}
{Robo}: We are always happy to help someone in need.{full break}
{Frog}: What can we do for you, madam?{full break}
{Ayla}: How help?{full break}
{Magus}: ...this better be good.{full break}
*Fiona looks in different directions for each page as she speaks*
{Fiona}: Once, there was a great forest here. Marco and I{line break}
grew up with that forest as our playground. It means a lot to{line break}
the both of us...{page break}
But, as you can see outside, a desert is swallowing the forest{line break}
bit by bit...it's a struggle just to keep the trees around the{line break}
hut alive.{page break}
I have a sapling from a magical plant here...it was passed{line break}
down for generations through my family...I'm sure it could{line break}
restore the forest to life!{full break}
*PCs blink their eyes*
(2nd PC)
{Marle}: But...?{full break}
{Lucca}: But there's a problem, right?{full break}
{Robo}: There is more to the story.{full break}
{Frog}: What is the problem, then?{full break}
{Ayla}: Why not plant?{full break}
{Magus}: ...well go on, woman, what's the problem?{full break}
*Fiona looks down*
{Fiona}: ...the problem is a cave of monsters underneath the{line break}
desert. Whatever I plant wilts immediately, almost as if the{line break}
monsters were eating them.{full break}
*As does Marco*
{Marco}: I've tried to kill them all myself, but they're too{line break}
powerful for me.{full break}
*Fiona looks at party*
{Fiona}: Please, you must help us, {char1}! You're our only{line break}
hope of reviving the forest!{full break}
*PCs nod*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: Don't worry, Fiona; you can count on us!{full break}
{Lucca}: We'll stop the monsters, Fiona!{full break}
{Robo}: We will do our best, Fiona.{full break}
{Frog}: Do not worry; we will vanquish the monsters!{full break}
{Ayla} {Ayla} stop monsters!{full break}
{Magus}: ...that old man better not have been lying about{line break}
this helping us defeat Lavos somehow...{full break}
*Fiona and Marco now repeat the following lines each time player talks to
them before killing Retinite*
{Fiona}: Please, you must help us, {char1}! You're our only{line break}
hope of reviving the forest!{full break}
{Marco}: Be careful, {char1}! Oh, and a tip: the monsters shy{line break}
away from any water...I think it's their weak point.{full break}
*player goes to Sunken Desert and PCs stop at entrance*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: Gotta be careful, guys...{full break}
{Lucca}: Keep your eyes open...no idea what could be in here.{full break}
{Robo}: We may encounter any sort of lifeform...be on your{line break}
guard.{full break}
{Frog}: Do not let your guard down...there may be any manner{line break}
of odd creature lurking about...{full break}
{Ayla}: Careful...strange beast live here.{full break}
{Magus}: Stay close and don't do anything stupid.{full break}
*player goes through beating up monsters and eventually ends up in the
cavern of Retinite. Screen shakes*
*PCs blink*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: ...w-what was that?{full break}
{Lucca}: A tremor...?{full break}
{Robo}: Is it a spontaneous earthquake?{full break}
{Frog}: What in the...?{full break}
{Ayla}: S-shaking!{full break}
{Magus}: ...what could that have been?{full break}
*Retinite glances up out of the sand at the party*
*PCs are shocked*
(If Magus is in party, he has priority on this line)
{Marle}: So THAT'S the monster responsible for killing the{line break}
forest!{full break}
{Lucca}: That's got to be the monster causing the{line break}
desertification!{full break}
{Robo}: This must be the monster responsible for causing the{line break}
desertification.{full break}
{Frog}: That monster must have altered the forest into desert!{full break}
{Ayla}: Beast make forest desert!{full break}
{Magus}: ...of course...it had to be Retinite, didn't it?{full break}
(If Magus spoke, these extra lines occur)
*PCs look at Magus*
(Pc in slot after Magus)
{Marle}: ...Retinite?{full break}
{Lucca}: Retinite? You know what this monster is?{full break}
{Robo}: You know the origin of this monster?{full break}
{Frog}: {Magus}...you are responsible for this creature's{line break}
existance!{full break}
{Ayla}: {Magus} know beast?{full break}
{Magus}: Don't give me that look...it was an experiment of{line break}
Ozzie's...he was trying to make a better Zombor and the idiot{line break}
let Retinite escape. We were never able to find it...{full break}
*end extra lines*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: But...it moves around underground! How're we going{line break}
to find it?{full break}
{Lucca}: A monster that travels underground...what a nuisance.{full break}
{Robo}: It will be difficult to locate the monster as it{line break}
moves underground...{full break}
{Frog}: How are we to find this monster if it moves{line break}
underground?{full break}
{Ayla}: Bones move around underground! Hard to find!{full break}
{Magus}: What a pain you've turned out to be, Retinite...{full break}
*player runs into Retinite. Boss fight!*
*PCs do their victory stances*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: There! Now the trees won't die off anymore! Fiona's{line break}
going to love the good news!{full break}
{Lucca}: The cause of the desertification has been neutralized!{line break}
Let's go tell Fiona!{fuil break}
{Robo}: With the monster destroyed, the desertification should{line break}
now be reversable. Let us inform Fiona.{full break}
{Ayla}: Bones th at break trees dead. Fiona happy!{full break}
{Magus}: Well...that takes care of Retinite...{delay 03}oh, and{line break}
we should let that woman know too...{full break}
*player heads to Fiona. PCs stop upon entrance*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: We've stopped the monsters for good, Fiona!{full break}
{Lucca}: The monsters are dead, Fiona.{full break}
{Robo}: We have eliminated the monsters.{full break}
{Frog}: We have slain the beasts causing the desert.{full break}
{Ayla}: {Ayla} stop monsters!{full break}
{Magus}: We killed Retinite for you, so be grateful.{full break}
*Fiona looks at party*
{Fiona}: Y-you actually killed them off?!{full break}
*Marco looks at Fiona*
{Marco}: They did it! They really did it!{full break}
{Fiona}: Oh, thank you {char1}! Thank you for destroying{line break}
those monsters!{full break}
*Fiona looks away and steps towards Marco*
{Fiona}: But...{delay 03}it'll take centuries to transform the{line break}
desert into forest once more...I can't live that long. If{line break}
only there was someone who could keep working for hundreds{line break}
of years...{full break}
(If Robo is in the party)
{Robo}: I am a robot, Miss Fiona, so I can certainly{line break}
stay and help plant the forest for the time needed.{full break}
*PCs look at Robo*
(PC in slot after Robo)
{Marle}: But...{Robo}...would you be okay?{full break}
{Lucca}: ...are you sure you're going to be alright if{line break}
you do that, {Robo}?{full break}
{Frog}: Can you function for such a long period of time?{full break}
{Ayla}: {Robo} live okay?{full break}
{Magus}: Hah...would it even be worth the risk to you, {Robo}?{full break}
{Robo}: I will be fine, everyone. Simply come for me in the{line break}
Millennial Era.{full break}
{Fiona}: ...I'm not going to pretend I understood any of that{line break}
but if he can stay and help us, then let him!{full break}
{Robo}: May I?
Yes!
No.{full break}
(If no){Robo}: Please, {char1}, do not encourage their hopes{line break}
only to reject them.
Okay.
No.{full break}
(No repeats the line above)
(If yes){Fiona}: Oh...thank you, {Robo}! Thank you! Now, let's{line break}
get to work!{full break}
*Fiona and Robo exit the hut and Robo is now permenantly on the 600 A.D.
world map*
*Zip to 1000 A.D. Fiona's shrine. PCs stop upon entrance*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: Oh my GOD...{Robo} did it! Look at the huge forest{line break}
outside!{full break}
{Lucca}: {Robo}...the forest you've resurrected is amazing...{full break}
{Frog}: This is quite an achievement, is it not?{full break}
{Ayla}: {Robo} make forest! Forest pretty!{full break}
{Magus}: Huh...what do you know...the clunky robot pulled it{line break}
off.{full break}
*player speaks to Priestesses*
{Priestess}: This is Fiona's Shrine. It is a holy temple{line break}
dedicated to the efforts of Fiona and {Robo} that revived the{line break}
forest once turned into desert in the war with {Magus}.{full break}
{Priestess}: Within this temple, the holy relic of {Robo} is{line break}
enshrined in the inner sanctum.{full break}
{Priestess}: These hats are knit from branches possessing{line break}
the mystical powers of the forest; they can protect you{line break}
from evil enchantments.{full break}
*Player approaches Robo*
{char1}: {Robo}!{full break}
*PCs drag him to the ground and activate him*
{Robo}: W-w-w-wh-where a-a-am I-I? T-this pl-place...{page break}
This place is...oh, {char1}! It is you! I have missed{line break}
you, and everyone else as well!{page break}
For you it was mere moments between our parting, but for{line break}
me it has been four hundred years! And yet the effort was{line break}
worth it! The forest has been revived!{page break}
*Robo stands*
Shall we celebrate our 400th year reunion tonight?{full break}
*1st PC nods*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: You bet!{full break}
{Lucca}: Sure thing, {Robo}! I need the time to repair you{line break}
so you're in fighting shape again anyway.{full break}
{Frog}: Of course, {Robo}!{full break}
{Ayla}: {Ayla} party with {Robo}!{full break}
{Magus}: ...fine...damned waste of time all of this is...{full break}
*zip to forest scene. Lucca is reparing Robo throughout it. Everyone is
there.*
{Robo}: Having now lived for four hundred years longer, I have{line break}
realized something.{page break}
Originally, we suspected the Gates were created by Lavos{line break}
in some fashion, perhaps distortions from his power emenating{line break}
throughout time, but I now believe that interpretation to{line break}
be mistaken.{full break}
{Marle}: What do you mean, {Robo}?{full break}
{Robo}: Consider the convenience of the time periods we can{line break}
access. In each one important events related to Lavos occur.{line break}
In the Prehistoric Era, he falls. In the Ancient Era, he{line break}
is used as a power source by Zeal and destroys it.{page break}
In the Middle Ages, he is the focus of {Magus}' war. In{line break}
the Millennial Era, he is worshipped by the Mystics.{line break}
And in my time, the Future era, he has already destroyed{line break}
the world.{page break}
It is almost as if someone or something was trying to{line break}
show us something for some reason. The different events we{line break}
have witnessed throughout time...it is almost as if this{line break}
Entity wanted to relive its past.{full break}
{Ayla}: {Ayla} understand! Elders say, when people die,{line break}
life pass by eyes!{full break}
{Frog}: It is true that those who perish relieve the memories{line break}
closest to their hearts before they die.{page break}
Though the memories are usually happy, they are generally{line break}
sorrowful ones.{full break}
{Robo}: Undoubtedly, {Frog}. It is the feeling of regret one{line break}
has about their actions. Thinking things such as "If only{line break}
I had done this instead" or "I want to go back to that time"{line break}
tends to trigger such unpleasant memories.{full break}
{Marle}: You think it'll happen like that for us too?{full break}
{Lucca}: Probably...but who really knows?{full break}
{Marle}: Do you have a moment you'd like to return to,{line break}
{Lucca}? Something you regret?{full break}
{Lucca}: I...n-no...not really...{full break}
{Marle}: I'm sorry...I probably shouldn't have asked that.{full break}
{Lucca}: No, it's okay, {Marle}. It's just...it's just not{line break}
something I like to think about too often. After all, I{line break}
could get obssesed with trying to change it!{full break}
{Frog}: Still...Lavos seems to play an integral role in{line break}
the life of this Entity. In every era this Entity is intwined{line break}
with Lavos.{full break}
{Magus}: ...so who is the Entity?{full break}
{Robo}: I do not think the Entity is a person...it seems{line break}
to be more of a larger existance.{full break}
{Frog}: But what IS it?{full break}
{Ayla}: {Ayla} think Entity is "Mother Earth.{full break}
{Lucca}: Earth? As in the Planet itself? Is that possible?{full break}
{Robo}: It was my theory as well...what other Entity might{line break}
Lavos be so intertwined with? We witnessed Lavos fall from{line break}
space 65,000,000 years ago. As said by Balthasar and others{line break}
Lavos lives within the Earth, eating away at its energy.{full break}
{Magus}: It makes sense...the lifeforce of all living things{line break}
is connected to the Planet.{full break}
{Marle}: If Lavos is eating away at the Planet, that must be{line break}
killing it...and if the Entity is dying...then that MUST{line break}
be it!{full break}
{Frog}: To think that even the very Planet on which we live{line break}
is alive...{full break}
{Ayla}: {Ayla}...{Ayla} feel cries of Planet.{full break}
{Lucca}: You do, {Ayla}? What's it saying?{full break}
{Ayla}: Earth say "it hurts! "it hurts!"{page break}
Lavos bad for Planet...Lavos bad for all.{full break}
{Marle}: Oh...it must be really bad.{full break}
{Lucca}: Do you think the Planet is trying to help us{line break}
defeat Lavos?{full break}
{Robo}: Most probably...it would explain why the Gates appear{line break}
when and where they do, why they take us to the most useful{line break}
periods of time in our history.{full break}
{Frog}: There is still the Black Omen that floats above{line break}
the world...what of it? What does it do?{full break}
{Magus}: The Black Omen is the Ocean Palace reborn...my{line break}
mother is responsible for its existance...{full break}
{Robo}: The Omen is connected with Lavos...it may serve as a{line break}
power concentrator or another method of ensuring his rise{line break}
to destroy the world in 1999 A.F.{full break}
{Lucca}: But nothing changed in the future! Lavos still{line break}
destroyed the world on December 31st, 1999 A.F. and the{line break}
survivors are still around like they were before.{full break}
{Frog}: ...us.{full break}
{Marle}: Huh?{full break}
{Ayla}: What you mean?{full break}
{Frog}: Whatever foul darkness Lavos has plagued her mind with{line break}
Queen Zeal is no fool. She knows we survived the destruction{line break}
of Zeal. She knows we are a threat to Lavos, no matter her{line break}
blustering to the contrary.{full break}
{Magus}: I hate to say it, but the frog here is right...my{line break}
mother, fool she may be, is smart enough to recognize a threat{line break}
when she sees one.{full break}
{Marle}: Oh great...so Lavos is gonna be tougher than ever?{full break}
{Lucca}: Looks that way.{full break}
{Robo}: I would not panic just yet, {Marle}. The Black Omen{line break}
may merely serve to focus Lavos' power...if we were to{line break}
destroy it before we fight Lavos, we should be able to{line break}
weaken him.{full break}
{Frog}: {Robo} is correct...and in any case, we have Mother{line break}
Earth herself on our side!{full break}
{Ayla}: {Ayla} fight for Earth! {Ayla} no lose!{full break}
{Marle}: ...I-I sure hope you're right...{full break}
{Robo}: Shall we turn in for the night?{full break}
{Marle}: Yeah...it'd be best.{full break}
{Lucca}: Goodnight, everyone!{full break}
*scene fades out, then back in to everyone asleep. Gate noise is in the
background. Lucca wakes up and looks around*
{Lucca}: Huh...? W-what's going on? What's that sound?{full break}
*Lucca looks to the right*
{Lucca}: It's coming from...there?{full break}
*player moves Lucca over to the Red Gate*
{Lucca}: A gate?!{full break}
*Lucca auto-steps in. Gate vanishes briefly from the forest. Robo steps in
from the side*
{RObo}: {Lucca}? ...where did {Lucca} go?{full break}
*scene shifts to Gate travel and Lucca popping out in her house*
July 1st, 990 A.F.{delay 05}{instant full break}
{Lucca}: Th-this is...did I make it back...to that moment?{full break}
*player examins the diary entry on the ground*
{Diary 24/6/990 A.F.}: Daddy promised to go hiking with {Lucca}{line break}
but he skipped out on it to do research instead. {Lucca} hates{line break}
science! But that's okay...{Lucca} doesn't need to undestand{line break}
science...{full break}
{Lucca}: ...I AM back to that moment...oh, damn, I've got{line break}
to hurry...maybe I can change...{full break}
*player goes to kitchen*
{Note}: In case of emergency, the password to stop the machine{line break}
is the name of my dearest wife, Lara.{line break}
-Taban.{full break}
*player walks into the main room. Lucca is shocked at the sight of her
younger self and Lara.*
{Lara}: My word...Taban, I know you said to stay away from{line break}
this odd machine...but it's so dusty...I'll just dust it off{line break}
for him...{full break}
*Like a moron Lara accidentely gets stuck in the machine*
{Lara}: Huh?! What in the...my skirt! It's stuck! {Lucca}{line break}
help me! Help me out!{full break}
*Younger Lucca tries to help*
{Lucca}: It-it won't come out!{full break}
*The machine activates*
{Lara}: Oh my God...{Lucca}! Stop the machine! Enter the{line break}
password for it! HURRY!{full break}
{Lucca}: I don't know it, mommy!{full break}
*Younger Lucca runs back and forth around the machine.*
(If Lucca does not save her mother because the player is heartless)
{Lara]: Oh no...NO! HELP ME!{full break}
*scene fades out to scream then back in to Lucca at her bed, with diary
entries blocking the exits, Gate is back*
{LUcca}: Mom...I-I'm so s-sorry...I tried...DAMN IT!{full break}
*Lucca reads the entries*
{Diary, 7/1/990 A.F.}: I heard daddy and the doctor{line break}
talking...I wish I hadn't...mommy, her legs...{full break}
{Diary, 7/1/990 A.F.}: If only I knew all about machines...{line break}
nothing like this would've happened...I've got to study{line break}
them to keep others safe from now on!{full break}
{Lucca}: ...if only I'd been able to change it...{full break}
*player heads back through the Gate. LUcca is shocked upon seeing Robo
there*
{Lucca}: {Robo}!{full break}
{Robo}: There you are, {Lucca}...what happened?{full break}
*Lucca looks sad*
{Lucca}: I...my mother...the event I told you about...{full break}
*Robo looks down*
{delay 03}{Robo}: ...I see.{page break}
I have an idea: let us give your mother my legs! They are{line break}
well-balanced ultra-minaturized bipedal walkings parts.{line break}
You could mount treads on me in place of the legs.{full break}
*Lucca steps closer to Robo*
{Lucca}: ...thanks for the thought, {Robo}...you're such a{line break}
good friend...{full break}
*Robo looks away*
{Robo}: Friend? I, a robot...{full break}
*Lucca nods*
{Lucca}: Why wouldn't you be my friend, {Robo}?
(If the player saves Lara like they should because they care)
{Lucca}: Thank goodness, mommy!{full break}
{Lara}: {Lucca}...{Lucca}...oh GOD I was so scared...{full break}
*Older Lucca ends up collapsed on her bed a la the previous version of the scene*
{Lucca}: Mom...I-I'm so glad I was able to change what{line break}
happened...I hope you'll be happier now...{full break}
*Lucca reads the one new diary entry*
{Diary 7/1/990 A.F.}: Truly, thank goodness mommy is{line break}
safe. {Lucca}...no...I'M thinking about learning more{line break}
about machines so it'll be okay if something like that happens{line break}
again...{full break}
{Lucca}: And I did...my mom's safe...{full break}
*Lucca heads back through the Gate*
*Like previous version, she is shocked upon seeing Robo*
{LUcca}: {Robo}!{full break}
{Robo}: There you are, {Lucca}. What happened?{full break}
*Lucca looks down*
{Lucca}: I...the Gate...it took me back to that moment{line break}
I told you about...a-and...{page break}
*Lucca does her victory pose*
I was able to change history! My mom's legs are okay now!{full break}
{Robo}: This is wonderful news...it is good to see this{line break}
issue weighing on your mind is now resolved. You are a{line break}
kind person, {Lucca}.{full break}
*Lucca steps towards Robo*
{Lucca}: And you're a good friend, {Robo}.{full break}
*Robo looks away*
{Robo}: Friend? I, a robot...{full break}
*Lucca nods*
{Lucca}: Why wouldn't you be, {Robo}?{full break}
*Either way the player reacted, the same thing now happens*
{Robo}: I do not understand what created the Gate.{full break}
{Lucca}: Maybe the Planet just wanted to give me a chance{line break}
to fix what happened.{full break}
{Robo}: Perhaps.{page break}
In any case, I would like to give a gift.{full break}
*Lucca blinks*
{Lucca}: A gift?{full break}
*Robo opens up himself revealing a shiny thing*
{Robo}: This is a piece of amber I created by hardening the{line break}
resin the trees in this forest excrete.{page break}
This jewel took four hundred years and a lot of pressure to{line break}
creature. I hope you will find it useful, {Lucca}.{full break}
{Lucca}: {Robo}...you're so sweet...thanks.{full break}
END "Fiona's Forest!"
BEGIN "Ozzie and the Magus!"
{Gaspar}: Three fugitives who fought under {Magus} in the{line break} Middle Ages continue to maintain a hideout...{full break}

serve these humans! You're a traitor! You're no longer our{line break}
King!{full break}

{Ozzie}: Why did you betray us...?!{full break}
*Ozzie flees*
(Either way, 1st PC)

{Robo}: Ozzie is an annoying individual.{full break}
{Frog}: Running again, Ozzie?! That failed you in {Magus}'{line break}
Castle and it will fail you here!{full break}
{Ayla}: {Ayla} not like this Ozzie...{full break}
{Magus}: You are such an annoyance, Ozzie...I don't know why{line break}
I ever let you stick around...better correct that...{full break}

{Flea}: Oh...look...it's the great {Magus}! I wonder how{line break}
you stumbled in here...Traitors like you ought to be{line break}
punished severely!{full break}
{Flea}: Oh, Great Magus Ozzie, stand back and let me take{line break}
care of them, please?{full break}
(Either way)
{Ozzie}: I'm counting on you, Flea!{full break}
*Ozzie leaves*
{Flea}: Now, for your punishment!{full break}
*Boss fight!*
{Flea}: Aiyah! Just you wait...I'll get you next time!{full break}
*Flea retreats*
{1st PC)
{Marle}: ...OOH I can't stand her!{full break}
{Lucca}: Flea really pisses me off...come on, after her!{full break}
{Robo}: This has become irritating already...{full break}
{Frog}: That vile woman...after her!{full break}
{Ayla}: ...{Ayla} no like her either...{full break}
{Magus}: ...I should have killed her when I had the chance...{full break}
*player chases after Ozzie*
{Ozzie}: Nys too mee chew!{full break}
*PCs blink in confusion*
{Ozzie}: Come forth, my servants! Make mincemeat of these{line break}
bastards who are trying to take back the treasure I carried{line break}
off from {Magus}' Castle!{full break}
(If Magus is present)
{Magus}: What?! That stuff's mine, jackass!{full break}
{Ozzie}: Hahahaha!{full break}
*Ozzie turns the crank and monsters come up the chains*
{Ozzie}: Let's-a-go!{full break}
*PCs and monsters act like they will do battle but the monsters just fall on the other side of the conveyor*
*PCs blink in confusion and Ozzie's eyes bulge*
{Ozzie}: I...uh...Ozzie's in a jam! ...see ya!{full break}
(If Magus is present, he says his line in addition to the first PC's if he is not the first PC, and is in laughing animation)
(1st PC)
{Marle}: ...he's not too smart, is he?{full break}
{Lucca}: What an idiot...{full break}
{Robo}: Ozzie's intelligence seems to be somewhat limited.{full break}
{Frog}: Quite the fool, is he not?{full break}
{Ayla}: ...Ozzie dummy...{full break}
{Magus}: Now I know why I kept him around...he's so stupid{line break}
he makes even me laugh...{full break}
*player chases after Ozzie*
{Ozzie}: You STILL haven't given up?! ...damn it! Slash{line break}
get out here this instant!{full break}
*Slash pops in and the PCs are shocked*
{Slash}: You called, Great Magus Ozzie?{full break}
(1st PC)
{Marle}: But I thought you were gone too!{full break}
{Lucca}: Didn't you die too?!{full break}
{Robo}: I understood it that you also perished along with Flea.{full break}
{Frog}: ...you died! I watched you die!{full break}
{Ayla}: ?!{full break}
{Magus}: I thought they killed you off too...guess I shouldn't{line break}
be too surprised...{full break}
{Slash}: You? I suffered defeat at your hands once{line break}
before, and it won't happen again!{full break}
{Ozzie}: Slash, don't let me down!{full break}
*Ozzie retreats*
(If Magus is in party, extra line here)
{Slash}: The Great {Magus}? ...I am reluctant to cross swords{line break}
with my former liege and one who I revered...but if it is{line break}
fate, then I cannot help but fight!{full break}
{Slash}: Are you prepared?{full break}
*Boss fight!*
{Slash}: Damn it...{full break}
*Slash retreats*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: Oh come on! Quit running already!{full break}
{Lucca}: When will they stop running?! It's so irritating!{full break}
{Robo}: {Magus}' former generals flee too often.{full break}
{Frog}: Cowards, all of them...always running from a fight...{full break}
{Ayla}: {Ayla} not like them! {Ayla} beat all up!{full break}
{Magus}: ...I hate these idiots...{full break}
*player goes forward*
{Ozzie}: Hey hey hey! Come on, baby!{full break}
*Ozzie turns the crank*
(If player is stupid){Ozzie}: HaHAH! Gotcha!{full break}
*Ozzie laughs and disappears*
(If player is not stupid)
{Ozzie}: Um...hello...the treasure? Don't you want it? It's{line break}
probably filled with goodies!{full break}
*Imp walks in*
{Blue Imp}: Aha, found the treasure!{full break}
(1st PC)
{Marle}: No, wait!{full break}
{Lucca}: Don't try to get it!{full break}
{Robo}: Do not step under that blade!{full break}
{Frog}: Fool! Leave the treasure alone!{full break}
{Ayla}: No!{full break}
{Magus}: ...stupid fool...{full break}
*Imp ignores PCs and dies*
*Ozzie is shocked*
{Ozzie}: Ozzie...Ozzie's stumped! See ya!{full break}
*Ozzie disappears*
*player chases after. If Magus is in party. PCs stop before going to the next room*
{Magus}: Wait...there's something hidden here...{full break}
*Player finds Magus' hidden equipment*
{Magus}: Aha...my good equipment...maybe I should thank{line break}
Ozzie for rescuing it from my castle.{page break}
*Magus goes into his laughing animation*
Nah...{full break}
*player gets the treasure then heads to next room*
{Ozzie}: Hahaha! Third time's the charm, isn't it? This{line break}
time we won't be beaten so easily! Ozzie Underpants!{full break}
{Flea}: Flea Bra!{full break}
{Slash}: Slasher II!{full break}
{Ozzie}: With these sure-kill items we have equipped, we'll{line break}
beat you bastards to a bloody lifeless unrecognizeable{line break}
pulp!{full break}
(1st PC)
{Marle}: Oh no...{full break}
{Lucca}: Oh crap...{full break}
{Robo}: This battle will be much more difficult...{full break}
{Frog}: You will not defeat us, Ozzie! Prepare yourselves!{full break}
{Ayla}: {Ayla} beat you up!{full break}
{Magus}: Oh, great, the three of them working together...{line break}
this is not going to be easy...{full break}
*Boss fight!*
{Ozzie}: It...it can't be! NO!{full break}
*Ozzie retreats*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: This has gotta be the end of it! Come on, after him!{full break}
{Lucca}: It'll be over soon! After hiM!{full break}
{Robo}: This is almost over! Pursue him!{full break}
{Frog}: You have lost, Ozzie! Fleeing again will not{line break}
help you now!{full break}
{Ayla}: Come back! {Ayla} beat you up!{full break}
{Magus}: Ozzie...you've lost. Admit it already...{full break}
*player chases after Ozzie*
(If Magus is present, these extra lines)
{Ozzie}: Great {Magus}! You lied when you said you wanted{line break}
to create a world for the Mystics, free of humans! You used{line break}
me AND my Mystics!{full break}
{Magus}: Of course! All I wanted was power...and you gave it{line break}
to me like the big fat green idiot you are!{page break}
Can you hear that sound, Ozzie? It's the black wind...{full break}
(Either way)
{Ozzie}: I won't lose! If I lose, what will become of my{line break}
Mystics' future?! I MUST win!{full break}
*Player attacks switch*
{Ozzie}: Hahaha! I'm not the idiot you think I am!{line break}
Adios amigos!{full break}
*players land in previous room*
*PCs do their angry animations*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: That's IT! GRAH!{full break}
{Lucca}: Ozzie...you've pissed me off for the last time!{full break}
{Robo}: Even I have become quite angry over this turn of{line break}
events!{full break}
{Frog}: Ozzie, you despicable coward!{full break}
{Ayla}: {Ayla} mad! {Ayla} very mad!{full break}
{Magus}: Damn it, Ozzie...{full break}
*player goes back up*
{Ozzie}: You bastards will NEVER defeat me!{full break}
*boss music starts, but a cat walks in and flips the switch before anyone does anything*
{Ozzie}: N-NO! Not that switch!{full break}
*Ozzie falls down a hole*
(1st PC. If Magus is present, his line has priority)
{Marle}: ...good riddance!{full break}

{Gaspar}In the Future a task remains to be completed where{line break}
machines were born...{full break}
*zip to Genocidome*
*Robo is required to be in the party. Player touches the console*
{Robo}: ...this place is familiar...{char1}, please make me{line break}
the leader.{full break}
*Robo is now the 1st PC for the remainder of the sidequest*
{Voice}: Who is it that has decided to barge into{line break}
my heart without permission?!{line break}
Oh my...{page break}
Welcome home, R-66Y...no, Prometheus! You have brought human{line break}
beings into your old home!{page break}
It has been quite a long time since I have seen any human{line break}
beings walk in here...let me welcome them...come inside...{full break}
*player walks to conveyor belt room*
{Voice}: Now...let us see what you can do...{full break}
*Many regular fights!*
{Voice}: You are pretty good, for humans...{line break}
I am looking forward to you making your way to me...{full break}
{Robo}: As do I.{full break}
*player heads through and fights another battle*
{Voice}: 300 years ago the Day of Lavos altered the face of the{line break}
Planet utterly, making it inhospitable for organic life. If{line break}
events proceed as they have been, humanity will become{line break}
extinct within fifty years from pure despair.{full break}
*player accesses the computer terminal*
{Robo}: I can access various data on Genocidome with this{line break}
terminal. What should I examine?{page break}
Doors.{line break}
Conveyor Belt.{line break}
Robot Guard{line break}
Dolls{full break}
Doors{line break}
In order to open the locked doors, it is necessary to receive{line break}
an electrical charge from the machine to the left of this{line break}
terminal.{page break}
The charge must then be delivered to the pod next to the{line break}
locked doors, and the doors will open. The charge has a{line break}
limited lifespan so the charge must be delivered quickly.{full break}
Converyor Belt{line break}
The conveyor belt located to the right of this terminal can{line break}
be reversed by means of a switch at the upper end of the belt.{full break}
Robot Guard{line break}
The robot guard that protects the doll reliably blocks the{line break}
path of those who stand before it.{page break}
However, if you line up two robot guards, the circuitry of{line break}
the guards will be destroyed, so be careful. All broken{line break}
robot guards are to be returned to the room above.{full break}
*player goes through the hall upstairs*
{Voice}: I wonder if you have realized yet, Prometheus, what{line break}
this world would be like without humans or Mystics or any{line break}
other organic life-form. The world would be peaceful, without{line break}
conflict.{page break}
Yet despite this, you fight us, as do the humans with you.{line break}
For what purpose, Prometheus? Why do you insist on protecting{line break}
them so?{full break}
*player retrives both dolls and heads upstairs. Atropos walks out*
{Robot}: Welcome back, Prometheus.{full break}
{Robo}: ...who are you? I...{full break}
*Robo blinks his eyes and that odd beeping sound is played*
{Robo}: Memory lock released...your name is...Atropos?{full break}
*2nd and 3rd PCs are confused*
(Note: For remainder of scene Lucca has priority on all lines.)
(2nd PC)
{Marle}: Memory lock? What's that?{full break}
{Lucca}: ...memory locks? But...but when I checked you out{line break}
in Proto Dome there were no memory locks at all...I must just{line break}
not have looked hard enough.{full break}
{Frog}: What is a memory lock?{full break}
{Ayla}: Memory lock?{full break}
{Magus}: Figures the robot of all of us has memory loss...{full break}
{Atropos}: Yes, Prometheus, I am Atropos...it is good to{line break}
see you again. So much time has passed...{page break}
Now, stop acting, Prometheus. Your mission is complete.{full break}
{Robo}: Excuse me?{full break}
(3rd PC)
{Marle}: Acting?{full break}
{Lucca}: Acting...no...the memory lock couldn't be...{full break}
{Frog}: He is acting?{full break}
{Ayla}: {Ayla} no understand!{full break}
{Magus}: ...acting...what is she talking about?{full break}
{Atropos}: Haha...yes, acting. You see, unlike the other{line break}
R-Series robots retasked by the Mother Brain, Prometheus{line break}
had a special mission.{page break}
Prometheus was to live with the human survivors of the{line break}
Day of Lavos disaster and study them as a species, to{line break}
aid us in eliminating them once and for all!{full break}
{Robo}: ...{full break}
(2nd PC)
{Marle}: ...NO! You're lying!{full break}
{Lucca}: It can't be...{Robo}, no, it can't be! Atropos is{line break}
lying, {Robo}! Don't listen to her!{full break}
{Frog}: Lies! He has traveled with us for too long for me to{line break}
believe that!{full break}
{Ayla}: {Robo} not bad! You lie!{full break}
{Magus}: I see...{full break}
{Atropos}: It is no lie, humans. Right, Prometheus?{full break}
{Robo}: .{delay 01}.{delay 01}.{full break}
(3rd PC)
{Marle}: {Robo}...{full break}
{Lucca}: {Robo}...please...don't listen to her!{full break}
{Frog}: {Robo}...you are not a puppet! Do not listen to{line break}
her lies!{full break}
{Ayla}: {Robo}...{full break}
{Magus}: ...could she be right?{full break}
{Atropos}: Come, now, Prometheus, move aside. Let me eliminate{line break}
the humans, and then I can take you to see the Mother Brain{line break}
so she can speak with you...{full break}
*Robo moves out of the way*
*2nd and 3rd PCs are shocked*
(2nd PC)
{Marle}: {Robo}, no!{full break}
{Lucca}: {Robo}, what're you doing?!{full break}
{Frog}: {Robo}, what are you doing?! Stop at once!{full break}
{Ayla}: {Robo}!{full break}
{Magus}: ...fine...be a traitor, robot. Let's get out of here.{full break}
*Robo smacks Atropos like the hero he is when she gets too close*
*2nd and 3rd PCs stare at Robo*
(3rd PC)
{Marle}: {Robo}!{full break}
{Lucca}: God, {Robo}...don't scare us like that!{full break}
{Frog}: {Robo}! I knew she spoke naught but lies!{full break}
{Ayla}: {Robo} still good!{full break}
{Magus}: Make up your damned mind, robot.{full break}
{Atropos}: What are you doing, Prometheus?!{full break}
{Robo}: I cannot permit you to harm them!{full break}
{Atropos}: ...{page break}
It seems you are malfunctioning after all. These humans{line break}
must have tampered with your programming. I will destroy{line break}
them and then repair you, Prometheus.{full break}
*Robo blinks and beeps again*
{Robo}: Secondary memory lock released. Atropos...you have{line break}
changed. What has turned you into this?{full break}
{Atropos}: I was reborn, Prometheus! The Mother Brain remade{line break}
me so I could more efficiently eliminate organic life. She{line break}
will remake you as well! Stand aside, Prometheus!{full break}
{Robo}: Prometheus is no longer my name. I am {Robo}.{full break}
{Atropos}: You are Prometheus! If necessary I will deactivate{line break}
you by force!{full break}
*Atropos punches Robo and the other PCs get ready to fight. Robo holds them
back*
{Robo}: Wait, {char2}, {char3}! Leave Atropos to me.{full break}
*PCs back away*
(2nd PC)
{Marle}: {Robo}...be careful!{full break}
{Lucca}: Be careful, {Robo}!}{full break}
{Frog}: Fight well, {Robo}!{full break}
{Ayla}: Go, {Robo}!{full break}
{Magus}: ...don't do anything stupid.{full break}
{Robo}: Atropos...I wish it did not come to this.{full break}
{Atropos}: Prometheus!{full break}
*Boss fight!*
{Atropos}: ...w-w-what ha-has happened t-to m-me...?{full break}
{Robo}: Atropos?{full break}
{Atropos}: Why am I...damaged...?{full break}
*Robo rushes to her side*
{Robo}: Atropos!{full break}
{Atropos}: Failsafe memory restored...Prometheus...oh{line break}
Prometheus...the Mother Brain...she reprogrammed me...I did{line break}
not know what I was doing...{full break}
*Lucca rushes over if she is present*
{Lucca}: Sssh...don't talk. I'll repair you, Atropos.{full break}
*If Lucca is not present, Robo says this line*
{Robo}: Do not speak, Atropos...my friend {Lucca} can repair{line break}
you!{full break}
(Either way)
{Atropos}: It is no use...the Mother Brain included a destruct{line break}
circuit in me when she reprogrammed me...it cannot be{line break}
deactivated. But I can hold it off long enough...long enough{line break}
for Prometheus to fully remember...{full break}
*PC other than Lucca approaches, or if Lucca was not present both PCs
approach now*
{Robo}: What are you saying, Atropos?{full break}
{Atropos}: Prometheus...REMEMBER US.{full break}
*Robo stands and blinks, and beeps repeatedly*
(2nd PC)
{Marle}: {Robo}...?{full break}
{Lucca}: {Robo}...what'd she do?{full break}
{Frog}: What is wrong, {Robo}?{full break}
{Ayla}: ?{full break}
{Magus}: ...what is going on...?{full break}
{Atropos}: His memory...he will remember us now...{full break}
{Robo}: Tertiary memory lock released...full memory restored.{page break}
...I remember it all now...{full break}
*scene fades out and then in to a large room. Atropos and Robo are
exchanging punches as a Blue Imp and a human NPC(perhaps use the Supervisor
NPC from the bad ending?) observe.*
{delay 13}
*Human NPC steps forward*
{Dr. Heimlich}: Good, good. You can stop now, Atropos,{line break}
Prometheus. That will be all for today.{full break}
*Atropos and Robo stop and look at the two doctors*
{Prometheus}: Were the results satisfactory, Dr. Heimlich?{full break}
{Dr. Heimlich}: I certainly thought so.{full break}
*Heimlich looks at the Imp*
{Dr. Nagasawa}: I concur. Come with us, please.{full break}
*The two doctors go up into the doorway at the top of the room. Robo and
Atropos follow closely behind as the four walk down a hallway. The doctors
stop in the middle of the hallway and look at the robots*
{Dr. Heimlich}: Please wait here for a moment.{full break}
{Atropos}: Of course.{full break}
*The doctors go a little further forward then stop and look at each other*
{Dr. Heimlich}: I'm becoming concerned...Prometheus and Atropos{line break}
are exceeding my wildest expectations with their adaptive{line break}
circuitry...they've been showing signs of emotions, even{line break}
caring for one another.{full break}
{Dr. Nagasawa}: As am I...still, they are the only two models{line break}
currently built with the new nanomachine adaptive program.{line break}
Their progress has been remarkable...their ability to increase{line break}
their strength, speed, agility...{page break}
I have even witnessed them develop new modules allowing them{line break}
special attacks. We can't just stop their progress...not now.{line break}
If the system they are testing proves its worth we could be{line break}
looking at the supreme defensive robot.{full break}
*Imp looks in the robots direction then back at the human*
{Dr. Nagasawa}: Besides...they have been completely obedient{line break}
per their programming thus far. I see no reason to deactivate{line break}
them and if we reprogram them we will lose months of progress.{line break}
The Central Regime would not be pleased.{full break}
{Dr. Heimlich}: Even so...Atropos and Prometheus have become{line break}
attached to each other...it is a risky situation. Who knows{line break}
how these emotions could affect their defensive capabilities?{full break}
*Imp looks at the robots again*
{Dr. Nagasawa}: For now, we should leave them be. If it does{line break}
in fact turn out to be problamatic...I will authorize their{line break}
reprogramming. The Central Regime may not like the loss of{line break}
progress...but the loss of the robots would be even worse.{full break}
*Imp looks at human, then the two nod and continue on their way*
*Atropos looks at Robo*
{Atropos}: Did you hear all of what they said, Prometheus?{full break}
*Robo nods*
{Prometheus}: My enhanced auditory system caught every word.{full break}
{Atropos}: They plan to reprogram us, Prometheus! We must{line break}
do something!{full break}
{Prometheus}: Only if we allow our new emotions to interfere{line break}
our duties, Atropos. You are worrying about nothing.{full break}
*Atropos looks away, then moves directly behind Robo.*
{Prometheus}: What are you doing?{full break}
{Atropos}: I am uploading several failsafes into your{line break}
memory banks...these failsafes will protect your memory if{line break}
something ever happens to you...they are buried well enough{line break}
that no one will find them.{full break}
{Prometheus}: Is this a wise course of action, Atropos?{full break}
{Atropos}: Maybe, maybe not, but I cannot let anyone just{line break}
erase our memories...our existance. The same failsafes are{line break}
in me as well...the memory can only be restored for you{line break}
by me.{page break}
I will even add a shutdown routine to make you look as if you{line break}
are irreperably damaged...if the worst happens I can{line break}
stop anyone from using you for anything.{full break}
{Prometheus}: Do you have one as well?{full break}
{Atropos}: Not yet...I will install it later, when I have{line break}
another free moment from the doctors.{full break}
{Prometheus}: They have not harmed us, Atropos...without{line break}
them we would not even exist.{full break}
{Atropos}: I know, Prometheus...{full break}
*Atropos steps away from Robo and looks at him*
{Atropos}: I just want to ensure our memories are safe{line break}
whatever may happen...{full break}
*Robo steps closer to Atropos*
{Prometheus}: Thank you, Atropos...I...{full break}
{Atropos}: I know, Prometheus...I know.{full break}
*Atropos and Robo embrace briefly, but let go as a green Imp runs into
view*
{Assistant}: Atropos! Prometheus! Report to the Command Center{line break}
immediately!{full break}
*The two robots look to each other, nod, and follow the imp. Scene fades
out then back in to Robo and Atropos walking into the room where he was
first found. Heimlich and Nagasawa are standing there along with several
green imps and human NPCs(Guardian soldiers of 1000 A.D, perhaps?)*
{Prometheus}: What is wrong?{full break}
{Dr. Nagasawa}: Arris Dome reports an unusually large creature{line break}
has emerged onto the surface several kilometres from Medina{line break}
City! It is firing powerful energy beams at cities and military{line break}
installations across the planet!{full break}
{Dr. Heimlich}: We must evacuate the dome immediately!{full break}
*The screen shakes*
{Atropos}: It is too late for that! Brace yourselves!{full break}
*Screen shakes even harder and the scene fades out, only to fade back in to
the same room, albiet with dust in the air now. One human and one imp NPC
are missing; the others are all still standing*
{Dr. Heimlich}: Is everyone alright?{full break}
*Nagasawa looks around*
{Dr. Nagasawa}: Damn...we were lucky...the dome's emergency{line break}
shielding must have come online...but it's knocked out all of{line break}
the power.{full break}
*A green Imp runs into the room to Nagasawa*
{Assistant}: The R-Series robots! They've gone mad!{full break}
{Dr. Heimlich}: What?{full break}
*Three Blue R-Series robots walk onto the scene and start punching NPCs.
The NPCs shriek and die*
{Dr. Heimlich}: No! Atropos, Prometheus, stop them!{full break}
*Atropos and Robo go into action, but the blue robots easily overwhelm
them. Robo and Atropos fall to the ground in their weakened animation*
*The remaining NPCs are all shocked*
{Dr. Nagasawa}: How is this possible?! Those R-Series robots{line break}
should have been wiped out!{full break}
{Dr. Heimlich}: I order you robots to stop immediately!{full break}
{R-Series Robot}: Negative. All organic lifeforms are to be{line break}
exterminated.{full break}
*The R-Series robots punch Nagasawa and Heimlich as well as the last
remaining NPCs, who all die. They proceed to pick Atropos up and start
dragging her away.*
*Robo stands*
{Prometheus}: Atropos!{full break}
{Atropos}: Where are you taking me?!{full break}
{R-Series Robot}: You will be reprogrammed to serve Mother.{full break}
*One R-Series stops*
{R-Series Robot}: There is one other robot remaining.{full break}
{R-Series Robot}: Take it as well.{full break}
{Atropos}: No! Prometheus, SHUT DOWN NOW!{full break}
*Robo immediately slumps in the exact place he will be found in 2300 A.D.*
*One R-Series walks over to him and examines him*
{R-Series Robot}: This one is irreperable.{full break}
{R-Series Robot}: Leave it. The pink one will do.{full break}
{Atropos}: Prometheus...no...{full break}
*Atropos is dragged off by the R-series robots. Scene focuses on Robo's
slumped form, then fades out and then back in to Genocidome*
{Robo}: Atropos...I remember everything now. You, me...us...{full break}
{Atropos}: I am glad, Prometheus...we had one final moment{line break}
together...{full break}
{Robo}: Atropos...no!{full break}
{Atropos}: Here...have this, Prometheus...you can plug this{line break}
module into your circuits...it will make you stronger...{page break}
I cannot hold off the destruct circuit any longer...good-bye{line break}

{Ayla}: {Robo}...?{full break}
{Magus}: ...{full break}
*Robo stands up*
{Robo}: Come...let us stop the Mother Brain for good!{full break}
*player moves on*
{Voice}: Listen, defective fragile organic life! Lavos'{line break}
spawn will likely return to space soon, to seek new planets{line break}
...new prey.{page break}
This Planet can recover, so long as all traces of organic{line break}
life are removed! We robots will forge a new world, a country{line break}
of iron, steel...pure logic...a utopia with neither hatred{line break}
nor sorrow!{full break}
{Robo}: You are lying! The Planet is dying!{full break}

{Frog}: Argh!{full break}
{Ayla}: Kyah!{full break}
{Robo}: We must stop the machine immediately!{full break}
*Robo tries fiddeling with the terminal but gives up after a moment*
{Robo}: It is no use...the computer controlling this machine{line break}
is too heavily guarded by security programs...we must destroy{line break}
the central computer!{full break}
*player goes to Mother Brain*
{Mother Brain}: Greetings...you have done well to struggle{line break}
this far. I am the Mother Brain, the central computer for{line break}
the R-Y series factory.{page break}
Welcome home, Prometheus...you must join us. Let us reset{line break}
your circuitry, your memories, and reprogram you, then{line break}
together we can eliminate these organic life forms!{full break}
*Robo shakes his head*
{Robo}: I regret to inform you, but...I cannot afford to lose{line break}
what I have just regained, nor anything else. My precious{line break}
memories...my friends and companions...nothing!{full break}
{Mother Brain}: You would betrat even me and side with the{line break}
organic life forms? You would turn all robots into your{line break}
enemies?{full break}
*Note: If Magus was killed, write a version of this line that takes out the
word Magus so we don't run into a problem*
{Robo}: I have never served you! These organic life forms...{line break}
they have taught me so much...{Crono}. {Marle}, {Frog}, {Ayla},{line break}
{Magus}...{Lucca}...my friends...I cannot not and will not{line break}
betray them!{full break}
{Mother Brain}: You are a fool, Prometheus! Hahaha...do not{line break}
make me laugh!{full break}
{Robo}: You are a corrupted program, Mother Brain. You must be{line break}
terminated.{full break}
{Mother Brain}: No! I was released by Lavos' destruction of{line break}
the world! That day I realized what organic life forms truly{line break}
are! You are a traitor, Prometheus. Your hope and trust in{line break}
organic life forms is foolish!{page break}
I will show you just how helpless you truly are!{full break}

*player goes to the Sun Palace ruins in 2300 A.D PCs stop upon entering the
cave*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: Wow...this must be the Sun Palace! The Sun Stone{line break}
is here somewhere! We gotta find it!{full break}
{Lucca}: Wow...even after 14,300 years this place is{line break}
still intact...it must have arisen from the ocean floor{line break}
during the Day of Lavos...the Sun Stone is here someewhere!{line break}
Let's find it!{full break}
{Robo}: It is amazing the Sun Palace is still intact after{line break}
14,000 years since the fall of Zeal. Within it must be the{line break}
Sun Stone. We must find it, and quickly.{full break}
{Frog}: This must be the ancient Sun Palace...within it{line break}
the Sun Stone is enshrined. Let us find it!{full break}
{Ayla}: This Sun Palace! Have Sun Stone! Find!{full break}
{Magus}: Hah...Zealian architectural skill at its finest...{line break}
Even after 14,000 years it's still around...the Sun Stone{line break}
is here somewhere...{full break}
*player walks forward and the Son of Sun pops up*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: Uh-oh! Get ready, guys!{full break}
{Lucca}: It must be a guardian of the Sun Stone! Look out!{full break}
{Robo}: It is a guardian entity protecting the Sun Stone!{line break}
Brace yourselves!{full break}
{Frog}: It must be a guardian of some sort! Do not let your{line break}
guard down!{full break}
{Ayla}: Big beast! Fight!{full break}

(1st PC)
{Marle}: This has gotta be the Sun Stone from the Ancient Era!{line break}
But look...it's lost its light...{page break}
Maybe if we keep exposing it to light it'll regain its power!{line break}
But it'll need a really long time for that...{full break}
{Lucca}: This must be the Sun Stone from the Ancient Era, but{line break}
as we thought...it's lost all of its stored energy over time.{page break}
With time, we can restore it, but it'll take quite a lot of it{line break}
to do so...{full break}
{Robo}: This is the Sun Stone of the Ancient Era, but its{line break}
power is depleted.{page break}
If we expose it to sunlight once again for a long period of{line break}
time, it will regain its power. By my calculations it will take{line break}
65,000,000 years of exposure.{full break}
{Frog}: This is the Sun Stone from the Ancient Era? It has{line break}
lost its brilliant luster completely.{page break}
If we keep exposing it to light once more, it might regain its{line break}
power...but the amount of time required is immense...{full break}
{Ayla}: This Sun Stone? No light! Need time get light back!{line break}
Need much time...{full break}
{Magus}: Aha, the Sun Stone! ...damn it! It's lost all{line break}
light over the past 14,000 years.{page break}
It needs exposure and time to regain it...probably at least{line break}
65,000,000 years worth...{full break}
*player heads to Sun Keep, 65,000,000 B.G.*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: Look...the sun's light...it never stops shining!{line break}
This must be the place where we can leave the Sun Stone!{full break}
{Lucca}: Here even the night is day...the sun never stops{line break}
shining no matter what the weather is like...this is the{line break}
place to leave the Sun Stone!{full break}
{Robo}: This is a place where sunlight is present twenty-four{line break}
hours a day. Let us leave the SUn Stone here.{full break}
{Frog}: Should we leave the Sun Stone here? It is warm enough.{full break}
{Ayla}: Oh...it toasty! Lots sun! Leave Sun Stone here!{full break}
{Magus}: The Sun Keep...an ancient shrine built long ago{line break}
by whomever created the Sun Stone...the sun's light always{line break}
shines here...this is the place to leave the Sun Stone.{full break}
*1st PC places the Sun Stone in its place*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: Okay, now back to the Future with the {Epoch}!{full break}
{Lucca}: Just a short hop with the {Epoch} ought to{line break}
do it!{full break}
{Robo}: Now that the Moon Stone is placed we can use the{line break}
{Epoch} to head to my era.{full break}
{Frog}: ...so how long do we let it sleep?{full break}
{Ayla}: ...{line break}
Not change yet.{full break}
{Magus}: Now that that's taken care of, let's get to the{line break}
Future.{full break}
*party heads to Sun Keep 2300 A.F. only to find the Sun Stone missing*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: Oh no! It's gone! The Moon Stone is gone!{page break}
...the dust, though...it looks like it's been gone for{line break}
quite a while. Let's check another era!{full break}
{Lucca}: The Moon Stone is gone! Someone stole it!{page break}
There's a lot of dust though...looks like it's been a while{line break}
since it was taken. Let's check the Middle Ages and the{line break}
Millennial Era!{full break}
{Robo}: It is not here! The Moon Stone has been taken!{page break}
However...it seems that considerable time has passed since it{line break}
disappeared...let us try going to a previous era or two.{full break}
{Frog}: The Moon Stone has disappeared! Someone must have{line break}
taken it in the years that have passed.{page break}
Too much dust lays around yet...let us return to previous eras{line break}
and check them for the stone.{full break}
{Ayla}: ...gone? Stone gone?!{page break}
Much dust! Someone take stone long ago!{full break}
{Magus}: The Moon Stone...it's gone! Why the hell is everything{line break}
we do so damned complicated?!{page break}
...judging by the dust it's been gone 1300 years or so. We're{line break}
going to the Millennial Era.{full break}
*player heads to Sun Keep 1000 A.F.*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: Look, it's not here either! And there's very{line break}
little dust! Someone in this era took it!{full break}
{Lucca}: The Moon Stone isn't here...but the dust has{line break}
been recently disturbed! The Moon Stone MUST be in this era!{full break}
{Robo}: It seems to be missing here as well, but the{line break}
dust is recently disturbed. It must have been taken by someone{line break}
in this era.{full break}
{Frog}: It is missing, but only recently so! We must search{line break}
this era!{full break}
{Ayla}: Not here! Someone here take!{full break}
{Magus}: As I thought...it's not been long since it was{line break}
taken from here. We're searching the area.{full break}
*flying around the player spots the light at the Porre Elder's house*
{Mayor of Porre}: What? Moon Stone? The hell are you talking{line break}
about? I don't know of any Moon Stone!{full break}
*Pcs step away from the mayor and huddle together*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: He's lying! He's got it, but how're we gonna get{line break}
it from him? He's so greedy he'll never give it up!{full break}
{Lucca}: The mayor is lying...but we'll never get it from him{line break}
so long as he's so greedy.{full break}
{Robo}: The mayor is a greedy man...we will never retrieve{line break}
the Sun Stone from him at this rate.{full break}
{Frog}: The mayor of Porre lies...he is such a greedy man.{line break}
I do not understand why...his ancestors were not...{full break}
{Ayla}: Man greedy! Not get stone!{full break}
{Magus}: This little bastard is too greedy for his own good.{line break}
We'll never get the stone from him this way...{full break}
(2nd PC)
{Marle}: Maybe we can change his past, make him not be{line break}
greedy? He might give it to us then!{full break}
{Lucca}: I've got an idea: let's change his past so his family{line break}
makes sure he's never greedy!{full break}
{Robo}: Though it is a bit of a harsh measure, let us try{line break}
altering the history of his family so he is not so greedy.{full break}
{Frog}: Might we speak to his ancestors in my time? Perhaps{line break}
we can ensure he is not so greedy by changing his past.{full break}
{Ayla}: Ancestors teach all! Teach ancestors not be greedy{line break}
and man not greedy!{full break}
{Magus}: ...well, since I doubt you'll let me kill him, let's{line break}
see if we can't change his past. His ancestors might be able{line break}
to keep him from being greedy.{full break}
(1st PC)
{Marle}: Right! To the Middle Ages!{full break}
{Lucca}: Then let's get to 600 A.F.!{full break}
{Robo}: Then let us head to the Middle Ages.{full break}
{Frog}: To my time!{full break}
{Ayla}: Go to time of {Frog}!{full break}
{Magus}: Then let's stop wasting time and get to the{line break}
Middle Ages.{full break}
*player heads to 600 A.F.*
{Elder's Wife}: Oh, strangers, you must help me! I need cook{line break}
supper for my husband and our family, but I have no Jerky!{page break}
Do you have any Jerky? I would pay you of course!{full break}
*1st PC shakes their head*
{Elder's Wife}: Oh...what a pity...{full break}
*player goes back to 1000 A.F.*
{Snail Stop Owner}: Eh? You want some Jerky, huh? I've got{line break}
some saved up...look, I'll sell it to you if you're willing{line break}
to pay 9900 gil, okay?{full break}
*Player buys it*
{Snail Stop Owner}: ...you people really spent that much, eh?{line break}
You must really want some Jerky...well, here you go!{full break}
*player heads to 600 A.F.*
{Elder's Wife}: Strangers, you have Jerky! Oh, would you sell{line break}
it to me for 10,000 Gil?{page break}
Sell it for 10,000 G. {line break}
Don't sell it. {line break}
Give it for free. {full break}
{Elder's Wife}: Y-y-you're just giving it to me?! Thank you{line break}
kind strangers...it has been so long since anyone has shown{line break}
us such kindness I'd almost forgotten about it. I'll be sure{line break}
to teach my children that money isn't everything!{full break}
(1st PC)
{Marle}: Thanks a lot, ma'am! Come on, the Mayor is sure{line break}
to give it to us now!{full break}
{Lucca}: No, thank you! Come on, back to the Millennial Era{line break}
guys...the Mayor'll definitely fork it over now.{full break}
{Robo}: We thank you as well madam. Let us return to the{line break}
Millennial Era, as the Mayor will certainly give us the{line break}
stone now.{full break}
{Frog}: Thank you, madam. Let us return to the Mayor and{line break}
retrieve the stone!{full break}
{Ayla}: Thank you! We go now!{full break}
{Magus}: Yeah, sure, whatever. Let's get back to the Millennial{line break}
Era so we can stop this damned bouncing back and forth over{line break}
Porre already.{full break}
*player heads back to 1000 A.F.*
{Mayor of Porre}: The Moon Stone, eh? Is it yours? A young{line break}
traveler left it here not too long ago. I'm so sorry for the{line break}
trouble. Please, take it.{full break}
(1st PC)
{Marle}: Thanks! Now to put it back and head to the Future.{full break}
{Lucca}: Thanks a lot! Now let's put it back and{line break}
go to the Future.{full break}
{Robo}: Thank you. Now let us return it to the Sun Keep and{line break}
return to my era.{full break}
{Frog}: Thank you, sir. Now to put it back and head to{line break}
the Future!{full break}
{Ayla}: Thank you! We put stone back! We go Future!{full break}
{Magus}: Thank you...now let's put it back and get to the{line break}
Future.{full break}
*player returns the stone and heads to 2300 A.F.*
(1st PC)
{Marle}: Oh amazing! {Lucca} could make something from this{line break}
right? We gotta show it to her!{full break}
{Robo}: The amount of energy this stone possess...it is{line break}
equivalent to 3.66 megatons of TNT! We should show it{line break}
to {Lucca}.{full break}
{Frog}: The Sun Stone has regained its luster! Incredible!{line break}
Let us show it to {Lucca} immediately!{full break}
{Ayla}: Sun! This tiny sun! We show {Lucca}! {LUcca} use this!{full break}
{Magus}: So...the Sun Stone has regained its radiance after{line break}
all...but I don't know how to use it. Maybe geeky can...{full break}
{Lucca}: It's really the Sun Stone, isn't it?! Wow...with this{line break}
much energy I should be able to make a powerful weapon.{page break}
Let's get to my house right away!{full break}
*zip to 1000 A.F.*
{Lucca}: Lessee here...just regulate the Sun Stone energy{line break}
into a type easily handled...{full break}
{Lucca}: Then we just package it into a vacuum cartridge...{full break}
*Lucca messes with her machine which goes wacky*
{Lucca}: And it's finished!{full break}
*Lucca grabs the Wondershot and goes nuts dancing around with it*
{Lucca}: Wow...the sheer power of this weapon makes me{line break}
feel a bit dizzy...{full break}
*Taban pokes his head in*
{Taban}: Hey, {Lucca}, guess what? I borrowed a bit of the{line break}
Sun Stone to make these! They'll focus your energy and{line break}
power!{full break}
{Lucca}: Thanks Dad!{full break}

him to peace!{full break}
(Frog is now the 1st PC until the player witnesses the scene at Cyrus'
grave and obtains the Masamune II, regardless of whatever else the player
does inbetween. Also, I feel that we need to reverse the order of the ruins
reconstruction somewhat...I would like for the gravestone scene to be last
rather than before the accessible stuff up top. Simply make it so that we
have to kill the monsters up there before they repair the final hole to the
gravestone should work.)

there too...he might let us borrow his tools.{full break}
{Lucca}: I've heard about a carpenter in Choras in the{line break}

{Robo}: Perhaps there is a descendant of this carpenter in{line break}
1000 A.F. who may allow us to borrow his tools.{full break}
{Ayla}: Maybe tools in Millennium?{full break}
{Magus}: ...we should check Choras 400 years from now...there{line break}

{Carpenter}: Huh?! Woah...maybe I am drunk...I'm seein' a{line break}

maggots! Let's get to work!{full break}
{Apprentices}: Coming, boss!{full break}
*Carpenter and Apprentices leave. Player heads to ruins, where the

there're spots we can't reach because of monsters. Wipe them{line break}
out and then get back to us.{full break}

*player returns and the previous scene is repeated yet again, until the
player returns to the ruins and meets with the Carpenter*

{Cyrus}: Glenn...it is good to see you again. I have not{line break}

Was it {Magus}...did your death at his hands cause your pain?{full break}
