1. INTRODUCTION:
-----------------------------
============================== 1.1 ABOUT THE AUTHOR ==========================
Hi, my name is Antonio Hernandez and I'm 18 years old (as of writing). I've
been playing games since I was 5 years old so they have always been a big part
of my life. I currently reside in Canada and I'm a graduated high school
student.DarkLink89 (Really dumb name because I couldn't think of anything else)
was the first account I created when I joined GameFAQs back in 2002.
I'm a pretty active user so you probably have seen me posting in the
boards from time to time. I also use the same username over at Neoseeker so if
you see me sometimes, don't be afraid to drop me a few words.
============================ 1.2 ABOUT THIS GUIDE ============================
I decided to write this document because I'm completely in love with Skies of
Arcadia: Legends. Skies of Arcadia has to be the best RPG you can find in the
Gamecube if you ask me. The characters are likable and the story is pretty
interesting. One day, I was browsing the internet looking for a script
of this game. Since almost every RPG has once written for it, I thought my
search was going to be easy. After a while, I realized no one has written one
for Skies. That's when I decided to get off my ass and take matters into my own
hands. I started playing the game but at the same time, I was recording every
conversation in the game. After I finished playing and recording everything,
I decided to start writing this.
So yeah, that's pretty much how this story goes.
Damn, I really suck at storytelling.

4. PROLOGUE
-----------------------------
The skies that extend beyond limit.
People live on floating islands,
and fly their ships to the skies they have yet to see.
In this world, the "sky" is everything.
In the sky is where they live, trade, and battle.
The sounds of cannons roar in the sky,
and the emblem of the skull flutters.
Air Pirates - A band of armed folks
that display their belief in that flag,
search for uncharted worlds and stronger enemies,
and fly freely in the sky.
Young Air Pirate Vyse, together with his partner Aika,
attacks a battleship of the Valuan Empire.
The two meet a captive, a girl by the name of Fina.
Though she was rescued, she would not give anything
but her name...
Later, the Valuan Empire, the strongest military nation
in the world, sends a fleet to the Pirate Isle,
where young Vyse lives.
After a raid in midday, the Air Pirates are captured,
and Fina also was taken by the Empire.
Vyse and Aika, who escaped the raid,
vow to rescue their friends,
and head for the Valuan Empire.
There is an endless sky ahead of the two...
-----------------------------
5. CHARACTERS
-----------------------------
(taken from the game manual. What?, I'm lazy)
============================= 5.1 VYSE & FRIENDS =============================
Vyse: The main character of Skies of Arcadia Legends. A young boy of the
Blue Rogue. Handles two cutlasses with both hands. Full of curiosity,
and very fearless.
Aika: A childhood friend of Vyse who rides on the same pirate ship.
Straightforward and frank,she will clearly say what she likes and what
she doesn't like. Even the pirate friends admired her agility and skill
with her boomerang.
Fina: A girl who, with certain events, takes action with Vyse. Very quiet,
but the smile she shows at times makes you feel her kind heart. She
wears clothes of a foreing world, but no one, not even Vyse knows where
she is from.
Cupil: A mysterious creature that can change its shape at will. It appears to
be a friend of Fina from her childhood. Normally it is in the shape of
bracelet. But during a battle, it changes its shape to a weapon, such
as a sword, to attack the enemies and to protect Fina.
Drachma: An old sailor Vyse meets in his adventure. Long ago he lost his eye
and arm to a huge arcwhale called Rhaknam, and ever since he has
made capturing Rhaknam his only purpose in his life. His experience
as a sailor is excellent and is very skilled. But with blunt
attitude, he continues to sail alone on his ship "Little Jack."
Little Jack: The middle size ship which captain Drachma has sailed with for
a long time. The ship itself is an old model, but the armor
and cannons have been strenghtened to be able to battle against
the large battleships.
Gilder: Captain of the Pirate ship "Claudia," with free life as his motto.
He wanders the skies in search pof vast treasures, beautiful women,
and "excitement." One can easily see him as a light-spirited man,
cracking jokes at any occasion. But in reality, even the other
Pirates and Valuans recognize his skills.
Claudia: Speedy sailboat of Gilder. By unfurling sails on the ground of both
sides, it is able to sail faster than a normal sailboat.
=========================== 5.2 PEOPLE SORROUNDING VYSE ======================
Dyne: Cool and self-possesed captain of the "Albatross." He is also the head
of the Blue Rogues, who makes the Pirate Isle as his base, and is also
Vyse's father. H eis trusted by his crew, and he also takes the role as
the mayor of the island.
Baltor: Evil and attrocious Black Pirate. Aboard "BlackBeard", he attacks
merchant vessels with no mercy. He is the first foe Vyse meets for
the ship battle.
Piastol: A.k.a, the Angel of Death. With a gigantic scythe, she is feared by
Air Pirates as a bounty hunter who "finishes them off." Very quiet
and cold hearted.
=========================== 5.3 VALUAN EMPIRE & ARMADA =======================
Teodora: The Empress of the Valuan Empire. With a strong lust for conquest
and exclusive possesion, she has the ambition to conquer the entire
world. Very self-righteous and hysteric, she cannot stand anything
that goes against her wishes.
Enrique: The son of Empress Teodora, and the Prince of the Valuan Empire. In
the military country at Valua, he insist on making friendly
relationships with other countries. He has a ver strong sense of
justice, but is also rather fainhearthed.
Galcian: The Lord of the Empire who holds the right to command the entie
Armada. Always self-possesed, he has excellent ability to command.
With an Armada and Admirals full of personality under command, he is
feared not only by the pirates but by nearby nations as well.
Ramirez: As Vice Captain, he has sworn absolute royalty to Lord Galcian. Very
taciturn man, who rarely shows emotion. Very skilled on both sword
and magic, as his lightning quick swordhandling is poweful enough
to defeat an enemy in one strike.
Alfonso: The Admiral of the First Fleet of the Armada. Within the priviledged
classes of the Valuan Empire, he is from a distinguised aristrocatic
family. He is still young among the members of Armada, but he
considers anyone who is not noble class less than human.
Gregorio: The Admiral of the Second Fleet of the Armada. Oldest among the
five. He has served the Valuan Empire from the time of the previous
Emperor, as his loyalty to the Empire is very high.
Vigoro: The Admiral of the Third Fleet of the Armada. A man of ver large
stature, nearing 7 feet tall. His motton is "offense is the best
defense," as he takes pride in greatest fire power among the Armada.
Also, he is too fond of women, as he cannot stand but to employ
every means to win the heart of a beutiful women whenever he sees
one.
Belleza: The Admiral of the Fourth Fleet of the Armada. The only female
Admiral in the Armada, as she is skilled in magic. On the other
hand, she despises the battle that relies only on force, as her way
is to make use of information to work out a plan and to win
without fighting.
De Loco: The Admiral of the Fifth Fleet of the Armada. A mechanical freak who
develops multiple weapons. He rides on his flagship with numerous
anomalous cannons, as he has absolute confidence in the machinery
he has developed. Therefore, if anyone tries to damaged his
machinery, he would chase him to the end of the world to torture
him to death.
-----------------------------
6. THE WORLD OF ARCADIA
-----------------------------
(Also taken from the game manual. Yeah, it describes everything perfectly)
================== 6.1 THE AGE OF GREAT VOYAGES IN THE SKY ===================
In this world, the sky is everything. People live on "islands (continents)"
that float in the sky, and fly ships to make a living. The sky is the place
to live, trade, and to battle. It is truly "the Age of Great Voyages" in the
skies. People build sophisticated ships to travel beyond the known sky.
======================= 6.2 THE WORLD UNDER SIX MOONS ========================
In this world, there are six moons, with colors in green, red, purple, blue,
yellow, and silver. Each moon floats separately in a permanent location in
the sky. Each moon has its own attributes: life, fire, ice, wind, thunder
and void, and each island (continent) under the moon receives its effect to
develop distinctive cultures. From the Ocean where Vyse and co. live, to the
desert continent of Nasr which is under the effect of red moon, and to Valuan
Empire which receives the effects of yellow moon to build a highly civilized
culture of electricity, you will meet various cultures through your voyage.
The rumor has it that there is a continent of greens, or legendary continent,
somewhere in the world. It's Vyse's dream to discover them.
============================== 6.3 AIR PIRATES ===============================
The "Air Pirates" are a group of people that live somewhere in the sky and
appear everywhere in the world. The pirates own their distinct pirate ships,
display their belief in the flag of skull, and fry freely in the sky. By
characteristics, there are two types of Air Pirates: the Black Pirates and
the Blue Rogues. The Black Pirates hoist a black-skulled flag, and attack
indiscriminately to kill and steal treasures. On the other hand, the Blue
Rogues hoist a blue-skulled flag. They do not attack unarmed ships such as
merchant vessels. They attack ships that are larger than theirs, such as
battleships, and they take pride in their actions. One can call them a kind
of chivalrous robbers. Vyse, the main character of the story is a member of
Blue Rogues called "Dyne Family."
The Six Codes of Blue Rogues:
1. Always Be Audacious
2. Make Decisions Swiftly!
3. Take Treasures and Be Thankful!
4. Do Not Tolerate Cowardly Acts!
5. Always Challenge He Who Is Stronger than You!
6. Never Give Up!
============================= 6.4 VALUAN EMPIRE ==============================
To the north of Pirate Isle, where Dyne Family lives, lies the continent of
Valua. And the country that prospers on the continent is the military country
of Valuan Empire. The continent of Valua is covered by thick, dark clouds
throughout the year, therefore it is a very dark land. The Valuan Empire is
also a very industrial country, thanks to the "Yellow Moon Stones" which are
filled with electrical power. In Valua, Empress Teodora holds the absolute
power, and people of the noble class enjoy the luxorious, modern life. On
the other hand, the people in the lower class live in poverty. Although the
disparity in wealth is great, the power of the country is great compared
to neightboring nations. The Imperial Capital is built at the cliff of the
inflexed landscape. On one side lies the Upper City, where the noble class
lives; on the other side lies the Lower City, which consists of industrial
sections and slums. On the island at the center of bay soars the Imperial
Palace of Empress Teodora.
========================= 6.5 VALUAN IMPERIAL FORCE ==========================
Unlike other ships such as Dyne Family's Albatross, Valuan Empire owns steel
battleships that do not rely on winds, thanks to high technology made possible
by the effects of the Yellow Moon. The Imperial Fleets, which they call
Armada, take pride in their overwhelming mobility and power, as they present
threat to the Air Pirates and others.
===================== 6.6 ORGANIZATION OF VALUAN EMPIRE ======================
Valuan Empire is a military country with Empress Teodora as the top. Under
Empress Teodora, there is an invincible Armada with 5 fleets, serving to
conquer the world.

============================== 6.7 MOON STONES ===============================
The rocks that fall from the Moons, they are called "Moon Stones". The
Moon Stones contain a great amount of energy, as they are used as fuels for
everyday living and for floating ships. It is no exaggeration to say that the
Moon Stones support this world. They are traded for a high price. The energy
of Moon Stones reflect on their color. For example, Moon Stones that fell
from the Green Moon, which presides over "life," have power that affects on
life, as they can heal wounds as well as produce poisons. The Moon Stones
from the Red Moon, which presides over "fire," can create flames on one end,
while they can affect on people to raise their attacking and defending powers.
Likewise, the purple Moon Stones have the power of "ice," the yellow Moon
Stones - "lightning," the blue Moon Stones - "wave," and the silver Moon
Stones - "void." The weapons of this world are all created from the Moon
Stones, as by changing their colors the corresponding attributes can be given.
For example, with red swords, you can give the burning damage to the enemies.
============= 6.8 THE ENERGY THAT DWELLS WITHIN THE MOON STONES ==============
Moon Stones can not only give attributes to the weapons for attacking, but
also are realted closely to the magic in this world. It is very important to
understand the power of each Moon Stone.
Red Moon Stone: Contains the power of flame to brun all. It also has power to
raise abilities.
Blue Moon Stone: Contains the power of wind. It also has power to alter
conditions.
Yellow Moon Stone: Contains the power of lightning. It also has power to
weaken opponents.
Green Moon Stone: Contains the power that works upon life force. It has power
to heal wounds and create poison.
Purple Moon Stone: Contains the power of ice. It also has effects that
influences the mind of the opponents.
Silver Moon Stone: Contains the power of void. With special power created from
nothingness, it presides over life and death.
================================= 6.9 MAGIC ==================================
In this world, there exists a kind of magic. When you cast magic, you can
give damage to the enmies with various types of energy, such as fire, thunder,
and ice. There are six types in all, and have the same effect as the Moon
Stones. Each magic is called by its attributing color, such as "Red Magic,"
"Purple Magic," etc. Naturally, skilled casters can wiled stronger magics.
The magic and Moon Stones are closely related, as by using the weapons of
attributing color, the user receives the power to wield the magic of the same
color.

7. GAME SCRIPT
-----------------------------
============================= 7.1 ALFONSO'S SHIP =============================
[The game begins with a brief scene showing the full moon, after that the
camera pans down to show a gigantic metal airship chasing a girl in white on
another ship. The game goes inside the big battleship where a person wearing
luxury clothes is standing.]
Alfonso: Hah hah hah... We finally found her...
Vice Captain: Admiral Alfonso, her ship's in range of our cannons.
Alfonso: Excellent. Prepare to fire Concussion Shells on my command but avoid
hitting her ship directly. We need her alive so we can "question"
her. Fire!
[Alfonso's airship starts shooting cannons at the girl's ship. After the girl's
ship is hit a few times, she falls uncouncious.]
Vice Captain: Your Excellency, the girl has been knocked unconcious, but she's
unharmed. She's been taken aboard our ship.
Alfonso: Hah hah hah hah. The Empress will be very pleased with me. I'm sure
to be rewarded... rather handsonly, I might add.
[Alfonso's ship suddenly shakes for no reason.]
Alfonso: What? Where did that come from? It sounded like an explosion. Status
report, now!
Observation Soldier: T... the lower hull has been hit! Someone is attacking us!
Alfonso: Attacking us?! Who would dare attack a vessel of the Imperial Armada?
Observation Soldier: There's a small ship hiding in the clouds off port side!
Th... that flag... Air Pirates!!!
[Another airship comes out of the clouds. Some pirates start throwing hooks to
ties themeselves to the Imperial Armada ship. A pirate wearing blue is looking
from atop lookout tower when he jumps down to the Armada ship]
Valuan Soldier: Air Pirate Scum! Don't you know that we're Valuan Imperial
Soldiers?
Vyse: Of course I know. That's why we attacked your ship. You guys have the
best stuff.
[Some lights get turned on]
Vyse: I'm Vyse of the Blue Rogues! And in a few minutes, I'll be relieving you
of all your valuables!
Valuan Soldier: Heh heh... Attacking us all by yourself? You're either
incredible brave or incredible stupid. We'll be tossing you
overboard.
Aika: Wait for me!!
[A redhead girl jumps down behind Vyse]
Aika: Vyse, you left without me! I'm not going to let you have all the fun.
Oh, hi. I'm Aika. I'm a Blue Rogue like Vyse... And we're robbing you.
Valuan Soldier: You dare mock the Valuan Empire with your insolence? Kill them!
And toss their corpses over the side!!
(Battle)
Vyse: There's no point in resisting. Throw down your weapons and hand over your
ship.
Valuan Soldier: Imbeciles! What do the two of you think you can do against the
five of us? Take 'em out!
[A Valuan Soldier gets shot and goes down. A man appears with his gun pointing
directly at the remaining soldiers]
Dyne: I think you miscounted. I only see four of you.
Vyse: Dad!
Dyne: We'll take care of these guys. Make your way to the bridge and shut down
the engines. And, when we're out here, remember, it's "Captain"... not
"Dad" Got it?
Vyse: Yeah, yeah... Aye aye "Captain." Heh... Aika, shall we go introduce
ourselves to the captain of this ship?
Aika: I'm ready when you are!
Vyse: Alright! Let's go find the bridge!
[Vyse and Aika run down to the bridge where they meet Alfonso and his Vice
Captain who is carrying the unconcious girl on his shoulder]
Alfonso: Well... Well... Air Pirates have decided to... infest my ship.
I am Alfonso, cherised son of Valua's most distinguished family, and
an Admiral of the Imperial Armada. Normally, lowlifes such as yourself
would never have the opportunity to bask in such greatness. Consider
yourselves fortunate.
Vyse: Yeah...right... Who's the girl? I never though someone of your... stature
would stoop to kidnapping.
Alfonso: Hah! You're very observant for a Rogue. However I cannot waste my time
dealing with you! I simply must get going. I think I shall have you
exterminated like the pests you are... Dispose of them!
[Two Guards attack Vyse and Aika]
(Battle)
Alfonso: What? How did you defeat my soldiers! Heh... If you want my ship that
badly, you can have it. I'll get another. I am very busy. I do not
have time to deal with your personality. Now, if you'll excuse me...
[Alfonso walks through a door and leaves]
Alfonso: Hah! You'll never get through this door! I've lock it from this side!
So long, Rogue. Hah hah hah!
[After that, we see a big metal door opening in the room where Alfonso is
standing]
Vice Captain: Your Excellency, the sun is up and visibility is good. The
preparations for your escape have been completed.
Alfonso: Good work. I have finished my preparations as well... Preparations
to dispose of a traitor.
Vice Captain: W... What?
[The Vice Captain turns around to face Alfonso and he suddenly takes a step
back in fear]
Vice Captain: P...Please! Your Excellency!!! What are you doing?!
[Alfonso points his rapier directly at the Vice Captain]
Alfonso: I cannot tell the Empress that I lost my ship to the Air Pirates in
a fair fight. I am going to need a scapegoat and you'll do quite
nicely. To keep my glorious reputation from being tarnished, you must
be sacrifice...
Vice Captain: N...No! You can't do this!
[Alfonso tosses the Vice Captain overboard]
Vice Captain: Aaaaaaahhhh!
[Alfonso puts down his rapier]
Alfonso: Even in death, he'll serve me well. I can't wait to tell the Empress
"But Empress, my own Vice Captain betrayed us and allowed the Air
Pirates on board. I could do naught but dispose of the traitor myself"
Voice: So this is how Valua treats it's people.
Alfonso: What?!
[Alfonso turns around and he sees Vyse and Aika with the uncouncious girl]
Vyse: Now that we're taken control of your ship, we'll be taking the girl as
well. There's just one more thing I need to do.
[Vyse goes into a battle stance]
Vyse: After seeing you kill an unarmed man in cold blood, I can't allow you to
walk away from this. Draw your blade, Alfonso!
Alfonso: Hah... An uncivilized Rogue such as yourself wants to challenge me?
You aren't worth my effort, but perhaps you'd like to meet one of my
pets. Come, Antonio!
[A door gets destroyed and a mechanical bull comes out of it]
Vyse: What? What is that thing?!
Alfonso: He's my personal war beast. I was going to leave him here, but it
seems I've found a use for him after all. Antonio! Tremple the
pests... and make their deaths as painful as possible.
(Battle)
Alfonso: Bah! Perhaps there is more to you than meets the eye. Well, Vyse of
the Blue Rogues... You will rue the day... the day you stood against
the Valuan Empire. We shall meet again.
[Alfonso leaves in his lifeguard ship leaving Vyse, Aika, and the girl behind
with the Armada's ship]
Aika: You coward! What kind of a commander sacrifices his own men and his ship
to run from a fight? Well, even though he was a coward, he was a coward
with gold...
Vyse: True... I suppose that the ship and everything on it officially belongs
to us now.
Aika: We haven't had a catch this big for quite some time! The people back home
are going to be impressed. And look at this girl, I've never seen anyone
dressed like that before.
Vyse: You're right, She sure doesn't look like she's from around here. I wonder
why Valua as trying to kidnap this girl in the first place.
Aika: Hmm... I wonder where she's from...
================================= END SCENE ==================================
========================= 7.2 ABOARD THE ALBATROSS ===========================
[We now see a room that's completely white and only has a table and a chair]
1st Voice: This place... Am I... Am I home?
2nd Voice: Fina... You... replace... Rami... the... Moon...
1st Voice: Elder...
2nd Voice: However, watch... yourself... do not... allow... trust...
1st Voice: Elder...
[The screen turns black]
Aika: How is she, Vyse?
Vyse: Hmm... her breathing's more regular now. I think she'll be alright.
[Aika and Vyse appear to be looking down at the unconncious girl]
Aika: Hey! Look! She's coming too...
[The girl wakes up]
Girl: Wh... Where am I?
Vyse: You're aboard aour ship, the Albatross. I'm Vyse. Don't worry, there
aren't any Valuans troops around, so you'll be safe here.
Girl: Y...yes. Um... Thank you very much.
Aika: Haha... you don't need to thank us! The Blue Rogues are always there
to help people! My name is Aika, it's nice to meet you. Hey, could you
tell us your name?
Girl: My name... my name is Fina.
*IF YOU CHOOSE "So, where are you from, exactly?" *
Vyse: Fina... So, where are you from, exactly?
Fina: ......
Aika: Vyse! She just woke up! You don't need to start interrogating her right
away!! See? Now she's scared.
Vyse: Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean any harm...
*IF YOU CHOOSE "That's a strange name" *
Vyse: Fina... uh? That's a strange name.
Fina: Really Oh... I'm sorry...
Aika: That was really smooth, Vyse. Don't you know how to treat a lady?! Sheesh
Didn't Cap'n Dyne teach you that sailor are supposed to be gentlemen?!
Vyse: Sorry... sorry! I didn't mean any harm...
*IF YOU CHOOSE "That's a great name" *
Vyse: Fina... huh? It's a great name... it's so... so feminine
Fina: R... really? You think so?
Vyse: Geez, you try and compliment someone and nothing... No reaction
whatsoever.
Aika: Ahahaha! Vyse, that wasn't much of a compliment. Looks like you have a
lot to learn about women...
[Fina laughs]
- REGULAR SCRIPT CONTINUES -
Fina: ... Umm... excuse me, but I have a question, What exactly is an Air...
Air Pirate?
[Vyse and Aika look at each other surprised after hearing that question]
Aika: What? You were out sailing all by yourself and you don't know what
Air Pirates are?
Fina: Oh... I... I'm sorry... it's my first time travelling.
Vyse: Basically, Air Pirates are sailors that attack other ships and steal
their cargo.
Fina: Attack?!
Aika: Ahaha... You don't have to worry about us. We're "Blue Rogues." See, Air
Pirates are divided into two factions: The Blue Rogues and the Black
Pirates. The Black Pirates will attack anything in the sky... especially
merchant vessels and unarmed ships. However, we Blue Rogues only take
cargo from armed ships, especially the Imperial Armada.
Vyse: We rob from the rich and keep the gold. But we use the gold to save
people that need our help. That's why we helped you. Don't worry, we
aren't trying to kidnap you or anything. Just relax and enjoy the trip.
Fina: Um... sure...
Dyne over the talking tube: Vyse, Aika... How long are you going to sit there
chitchatting? Come to the bridge now.
Aika: Oh no! I completely lost track of time!
Vyse: Oh well... I guess that means we have to go. Alright Fina, we'll see
you later! Try and get some rest.
[Vyse and Aika leave Fina alone in the room. Vyse then goes to the bridge
of the Albatross where he finds Dyne]
Dyne: Vyse, you're late! You know the routine, swab the decks... And they
better be clean.
Vyse: But... but Dad!! I was only a little late!!
Dyne: On a ship, being a little late can cost lives. And one more thing...
while we're on board, it's not "Dad", its "Captain" got it?
Vyse: Yeah, yeah... I got it.
Dyne: We're heading home to Pirate Isle. Go report to Briggs... see if he needs
you for anything.
[Vyse reports to Briggs]
Briggs the Vice Captain: Oh, there you are, Vyse. You finally decided to join
us on the bridge, huh? Well, we're heading back home
to Pirate Isle. Alright, let's get moving then. Full
speed ahead to Pirate Isle!
================================= END SCENE ==================================
============================== 7.3 PIRATE ISLE ===============================
[The scene starts with Fina walking and looking around the deck of the
Albatross when Vyse appears behind her]
Vyse: Hey Fina. How are you feeling?
Fina: I'm feeling much better. Thank you for your concern.
Vyse: Heh... no problem. I'm just happy to see that you're well. Looks like
we'll be reaching the island soon.
Fina: ... Island?
Vyse: You can see it right over there. That's our base... Pirate Isle.
Fina: Pirate Isle...
[Fina looks down and she sees Pirate Isle. A big door opens on the bottom part
of Pirate Isle so that the Albatross is able to enter it. The door closes.
On the underground dock, we see the pirates ogling at the treasure they just
stolen from Alfonso's ship]
Timmus the Gunner: Weapons, armor, gold... Now THIS is a great catch! One of
our best yet!
Mabel the Raider: Tonight, we should celebrate!
Everyone: Yeah!!!
Aika: Well Fina, this is what we do! What do you think?
Fina: Well... It centainly looks challenging.
Aika: Hahaha... challenging, huh... Well, now that you mention it, it isn't
easy, but it is fun!
Vyse: This is the Underground port outside of Pirate Isle. From the outside,
this island looks like a quite, peaceful village but the inside of the
island is where our headquarters is located.
Aika: There are armories, shops, and even a tavern inside here. Come on, we'll
give you a tour.
Dyne[from outside his office]: Vyse! Come to my office inmediately, and bring
that girl with you.
[Dyne goes into his office]
Aika: Vyse... I wonder what that was all about.
Vyse: ... I'm not sure, but we'd better hurry. You know how my dad gets when
we're late.
-7.3a THE TAVERN:--------------------------------------------------------------
(This scene only appear if you enter the tavern before going to Dyne's office)
[Timmus the gunner, Patch the Deckhand and Mabel the Raider are drinking loqua
and having a prty when the group comes in]
Air Pirates: Cheers!
Timmus the Gunner: Haha... Loqua sure does hit the spot. Captaim Dyne really
does know how to pick his Loquat Berries! This stuff is
good!
Patch the Deckhand: Heh... it's been a while since we've taken over an Armada
Flagship. We deserve to take a little break now and then.
Mabel the Raider[looking at Timmus]: Hmm? Should you be sitting here drinking
loqua with the rest of us when you've got a beautiful,
hard-working wife for you at home?
Timmus the Gunner: Hey! There's nothing wrong with relaxing with friends after
a hard day's work!
Aika: My, oh my... This place sure is full... Fina, this is our tavern...
They serve all kinds of drinks here: nectars, juices, loqua...
Fina: Um... Excuse me, but what exactly is "loqua"?
Vyse: WHAT?! Fina... you really don't know what loqua is?
Fina: Well... um... I don't know exactly, but it appears to be a really good
tasting drink of some kind. Everyone seems to be drinking it so
fervently... it must be delicious.
Mabel the Raider: You want to share a bottle of Mur Loqua with us? It's made
from Loquat Berries and Moon Stones. It's just a juice, but
it tastes great!
Aika: Nonononononon! We don't have time to just sit around right now! We have
to go talk to the Captain!
Fina: Why? Are we not suppopsed to be here?
Aika: Well, the Cap'n is always getting on our case for being late and stuff...
I really don't want to get into more trouble today...
Vyse: Heh... Yeah, my dad can get pretty worked up when he's mad. We wouldn't
want him to have a heart attack now, would we?
Aika: Haha... you're so mean to your dad, you know that Vyse?... We should
probably get going. Your dad's waiting for us.
[The group leaves the tavern and they go directly to Dyne's office]
Vyse: Vyse and Aika reporting for duty. And we've brought Fina like you
requsted.
Dyne: Hmph... you're a little late. I'll let it slide this time... Come on
over. Young lady, I am Dyne, the Captain of the Blue Rogues. There are
a few questions that I want to ask you. Will you answer them for me?
Fina: Of... of course.
Dyne: I've been sailing for a very long time, but I've never come across anyone
wearing clothes like yours. What country are you from and why were you
travelling alone out there?
*IF YOU CHOOSE "Defend Fina" *
Vyse: Dad, you're worrying too much. Fina is just a normal girl.
Dyne: ...Vyse. Even though I am your father, I am also the leader of the Blue
Rogues. Therefore, it is my duty to not only protect the safety of my
family, but the safety of my crew as well. If this girl is a danger of
any sort to you or any of my men, I cannot let her live.
Aika: But... but...
*IF YOU CHOOSE "Sit quietly and listen" *
Vyse: ......
Aika: Cap'n Dyne, you worry to much. Fina is just a normal girl.
Dyne: Silence, Aika. I am the captain here. It is my duty to protect the safety
of my family and crew. If this girl is a danger of any sort to you or any
of my men, I cannot let her live.
Aika: But... but...
- REGULAR SCRIPT CONTINUES -
Dyne: ... Fina... It is your turn to speak.
Aika: Fina...
Fina: I... I cannot say.
Dyne: Why is that? Is it because we are Air Pirates? Don't you trust us?
Fina: No, that has nothing to do with it. I thank you with all my heart for
saving my life but I cannot tell any living soul about the purpose of my
quest. Even if it means sacrificing my own life. I ahve no intentions of
endangering any of your lives. If you believe anything that I say, please
believe this.
Dyne: ...... Alright then. Heh... looks like I lost this one. I understand your
dilemma, and I can see in your eyes that you are true to your word.
Although we're Air Pirates, we also have a strong sense of honor. You do
not need to divulge the details of your quest. Understand that you now
have my trust... Be careful that you not lose it.
Fina: Captain Dyne... Thank you kindly. I will not dissapoint you.
Dyne: Vyse. Aika... Bring the girl... Fina topside and give her a tour of the
village.
Aika: Now that's more like it!
Vyse: Way to go , Dad! You're the best!
Dyne: ... It's not "Dad", it's Captain! I swear... how many times do I have to
remind you? You're excuse... Don't be late for dinner.
[Vyse, Aika, and Fina leave Dyne's office and the underground port. They arrive
to the village entrance when Aika suddenly says something]
Aika: Vyse, go ahead. I have to stop by my house for a second.
Vyse: Why? What's wrong?
Aika: I just want to freshen up. Don't worry, I'll catch up with you guys in a
few minutes! See you at your house!
[Vyse enters his house with Fina]
Vyse's Mother: Oh! Welcome home, Vyse. So, you're Fina. It's very nice to meet
you.
Fina: The pleasure is all mine. I... I hope I'm not intruding.
Vyse's Mother: Oh, don't be silly! It's been a long time ago since we've had
guests. Well, I have to finish cooking dinner. Go outside and
have some fun. I'll call you when it's ready.
[Aika enters Vyse's house]
Aika: Hey guys! Sorry to have kept you waiting! I was just fixing my hair.
Hey... the sunset outside is beautiful. Why don't we go outside and check
it out?
Vyse: Well, we still have some time before dinner... Why not?
Aika: Okay, great! Come on! We can't get a great view from up top on Lookout
Island.
[The group goes to Lookout Island. In there, we see Vyse, Aika, and Fina
sitting on a wood bench looking at the bright sunset]
Fina: It's so beautiful...
Vyse: I love it up here, it's so peaceful. I come up here to relax and watch
the sunsets. When I'm up here, I often wonder what lies beyond the
sky... Beyond the sunset...
Fina: Beyond... the sky... ?
Vyse: Some say there's monster. Other say there's a maelstrom that either blows
ships, or pulls them in... and they're never seen again. And there are
other that just say it's impossible...
Fina[looking directly at Vyse]: ......
Vyse: I want to know what's out there... Besides, I don't like giving up on
anything without giving it my best shot. Someday, I will be the captain
of my own ship. I'll go beyond the sunset, and I'll see what's out there.
Aika: Wow... I bet if you could go beyond the sunset, the sky would look even
more beautiful.
Vyse-Aika: Hey!!
[A flash of light suddenly appears in the sky]
Vyse: T... That was a Moon Stone!
Fina: ... A Moon Stone?
[The Moon Stone is then seen crashing in another island on the horizon]
Vyse: It landed on that island over there. I think that's Shrine Island.
Aika: It's been a long time since we've seen a Moon Stone fall!
Fina: I don't understand. That was a Moon Stone?
Aika: That's right. Fina, you've heard of Moon Stone before, right? They're
pieces of rock that fall from the Moons. They usually crash land on the
islands. They're a really powerful source of energy, too. We use them for
all sorts of things. They power our airships and we can also forge
weapons out of them.
Fina: Oh, yes. I know of Moon Stones. But, it's my first time seeing a Moon
Stone actually fall from the sky.
Aika: Vyse, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Vyse: Yeah, we should try to recover the Moon Stone. Let's go first thing
tomorrow.
Vyse's Mother: Vyse! Aika! Fina! Dinner is ready! Come on down!
Vyse: Let's go Fina. You're going to eat with us, right?
Aika: We're so lucky!! I love your mom's cooking... Fina, let's go eat while
it's still hot!
Fina: Yes, thank you for your gracious offer.
================================= END SCENE ==================================
============================= 7.4 SHRINE ISLAND ==============================
[It's morning on Pirate Isle and Vyse has just waken up from a night's sleep]
Aika[from outside his window]: Vyse! Vy ~ se! Good morning! We're going to
Shrine Island today, right?
Vyse: Yeah... I'll be right down. Give me a second.
[Vyse goes dowstairs to greet Fina and Aika]
Aika: Good morning, Fina! Did you sleep well?
Fina: Yes, Thank you.
Vyse: Fina, will be heading over to Shrine Island to get that Moon Stone in a
few minutes. You can stay here and relax at my place if you want.
Fina: That will be fine, Thank you.
Aika: Alright Vyse, let's get going. The boat is on the upper dock, and it's
ready to go!
[Vyse and Aika reach Shrine Island]
Aika[outside of Shrine Island]: Vyse! Over there! Look at the size of that
hole!
[The camera shows a enormous hole on the side of the island]
Vyse: The Moon Stone must have caused that. It must he huge... Aika look!
Water is flowing into the Shrine! In the Old World, this island was a
sacred place. These ruins used to be some sort of temple. Nobody's been
here for generations.
Aika: Yeah, I've heard stories about this place too. I've heard that there are
monsters crawling around the building inside. But Moon Stones that big
are rare! We've got to go in and get it! You know I can't pass up a
treasure hunt. Besides, how bad can it possibly be?
Vyse: You're right. We're going treasure hunting!
[They enter Shrine Island]
Vyse: This is just great... The place is flooded... Aika! Look! The Moon Stone
at the bottom!
Aika: Wow! It's so bright! That Moon Stone must be huge! So, Vyse... How do you
plan on getting it out of there? The water is pretty deep...
*IF YOU CHOOSE "Swim down to the bottom" *
Vyse: Let's swin down there to get it. I think the water is still shallow
enough. What do you think?
Aika: No way! You know I can't swim! How am I supposed to help you carry that
thing back up here?!
Vyse: Hahaha... Ever since that one time you fell into the well when you were
a kid, you've been afraid of the water.
Aika: Besides, I doubt either of us could swim while carrying that Moon Stone
back to the surface. It looks way to heavy!
Vyse: Yeah, you're probably right!...
*IF YOU CHOOSE "Find a way to drain the water" *
Vyse: Let's try and drain the water from this place. That way we can just carry
the Moon Stone out of here.
Aika: Well, considering that I can't swim, I like that plan better...
Vyse: But there's still one problem... how are we supposed to drain all of this
water?
- REGULAR SCRIPT CONTINUES -
Aika: Hey, Vyse. Look over there! There's a door over there. Maybe if we can
find a way to open it we can drain the water out of this place.
Vyse: Hm... you might be right. We'll use the doors as drains.
Aika: A'lright! Let's go!
[After a while, Vyse and Aika drain all the water from the island. Both of them
reach the Moon Stone lying at the bottom]
Aika: We finally made it. That wasn't too bad!
Vyse: Yeah, but look at the size of the stone! It'll be an adventure and a half
just to get that thing back outside.
Aika: Aaaahh!
Vyse: Aika?! What's wrong?
Aika: Vyse... Those rocks... They're... They're moving!
[The rocks move to form the rock monster, Sentinel]
(Battle)
Aika: Whew... Look like it won't be getting up anymore. What was that
thing?
Vyse: Some kind of ancient guardian, I think. Who knows? Okay Aika, we
need to hurry up and secure the Moon Stone.
Aika: That's my kind of plan!
[Aika takes a closer look at the stone]
Aika: Wow... This Moon Stone is huge!
Vyse: Yeah, it was definitely worth going through all that trouble. We
won't have to worry about fuel for a while!
Aika: It's beautiful... Treasure hunting is definitely my favorite part
of being an Air Pirate. Wait till everyone back home sees what we found!
[Aika and Vyse do a celebration dance of some kind]
================================= END SCENE ==================================
======================== 7.5 VALUA's SURPRISE ATTACK =========================
[This scene begins with Ben the Lookout looking up at the sky in Pirate Isle]
Ben the Lookout: Ahhh... It looks like it's going to be another nice day today.
Not to windy... Well, there's the bell... Time to get to
work... I gotta losen up a little. Huh?
[Six Imperial Armada airships are seen aproaching Pirate Isle]
Ben the Lookout: Oh... oh no! Ships!! Ships approaching! From the North-
Northwest... distance: 1.5 leagues! It's the Imperial Armada!!
They've got a full battle squadron! They're in attack
formation!!!
[The Armada ships start shooting at the island]
Dyne: Everyone underground! Women and children first! Hurry!
[The attack continues]
Dyne: Damn... I never though they'd find us...! That flag... It's
Galcian's Flagship!
[The camera goes inside the Imperial Armada's ship where we see An Admiral and
his Vice Captain commanding the attack on the island]
Ramirez: Lord Galcian, we've blasted the island with cannons fire and our
troops have begun the invasion.
Galcian: Good... They seem very organized for a small village that is under
siege. I don't know who their leader is, but he seems very capable.
Perhaps Alfonso was in over his head.
Ramirez: ... Perhaps.
Galcian: No matter, it appears the battle is over. Retreive the girl and bring
her to me. Capture the Air Pirates. We'll need to interrogate them
when we return to Valua. And be sure to destroy their ship as well...
Ramirez: And if they resist, Lord Galcian? What does Your Excellency wish me to
do if the situation arises?
Galcian: I don't think they're foolish enough to resist. However, if something
should happen... Burn the village and kill them all. Let the bodies
rot in the sun and leave one of our flags to set an example for others
who may defy us.
[After the attack, Vyse and Aika finally arrive to Pirate Isle after their trip
to Shrine Island. They find it completely burned down to the ground so they go
to the undergroud port where they find the hiding women and children]
Vyse: Mom!!!
Vyse's Mother: Vyse! Aika! Thank the Moons you two are safe!
Aika: What happened here?
Vyse's Mother: It was the Imperial Armada... They came out of nowhere and
attacked us.
Vyse: What happened to Dad? Where is everyone else?!
Vyse's Mother: Your father said that if we fight, too many lives would be lost.
So, he... He surrendered.
Aika: So Cap'n Dyne... and the others...
Vyse's Mother: They were taken prisoner by the Armada and taken to Valua.
Vyse: Damn! ... Fina! What happened to Fina!
Vyse's Mother: I'm sorry, Vyse... The Armada took her too.
Aika: In Valua, the punishment for Piracy is death! Fina will probably be
killed too! Vyse, what should we do?!
*IF YOU CHOOSE "There's nothing we can do" *
Vyse: What do you mean, "What should we do?" We can't do everything by
ourselves.
Aika: Don't give up, Vyse! Let's go to Valua and rescue them! We're the only
one who can. We're the only ones left, Vyse! I though you said you won't
give up on anything without giving it your best shot!!!
Vyse: Aika... You're right, we should leave right away. Our friends, our
families... Fina... they're all counting on us!
Aika: ... Yeah! Let's go, Vyse...
*IF YOU CHOOSE "Try and save everyone!" *
Vyse: What do you think Aika? We have to save our families... and Fina! I know
rescuing everyone isn't going to be easy, but it's not impossible! We
can't let them get away with this. Don't worry, we'll get them back...
somehow.
Aika: ... Yeah, you're right! It's up to us. We can't give up now! Alright,
let's go! Let's show those Valuans what happens when they mess with the
Blue Rogues!...
- REGULAR SCRIPT CONTINUES -
Vyse's Mother: ... Wait... you. You won't be able to do anything against Valua
in the shape you're in right now. Don't just rush aftem them.
You'll need a plan first. It's not going to be an easy fight.
Aika: But, but... If we don't hurry, everyone might...
Vyse's Mother: My husband always said, "Acting guidly and rushing are two
completely different things". Especially in times like these,
you must calm down and plan every move carefully. Don't worry...
Everything will be alright. He... your father won't let things
end like this, not him.
Vyse: Yeah Mom, you're right. Aika... Let's rest up today. We'll leave for
Valua first thing in the morning!
Aika: Okay!
================================= END SCENE ==================================
========================== 7.6 ON THE ROAD TO VALUA ==========================
[The scene scene starts with a Valuan soldier bringing Fina to see Galcian
inside his ship]
Valuan Soldier: Lord Galcian, as you ordered, I brought the girl to see you.
Galcian: Excellent. You may leave.
Valuan Soldier: As you wish...
[The soldier leaves]
Galcian[looking through a window]: At leat we meet... Fina. You cannot imagine
how much trouble the Armada has gone through
to find you.
Fina: ...! How did you know my name?
[Galcian turns around to face Fina]
Galcian: I am Galcian, the Sworn Protector of Valua and Supreme Commander of
the Imperial Armada. I am under direct orders from her Royal Highness,
Empress Teodora, to find you and bring you back to Valua. As a citizen
of the Silver Civilazation, you have information that is useful to us.
Will you help us?
Fina: ......
Galcian: I see. I did not expect you to help us without the proper motivation.
However... I believe we have the same goals. So, wouldn't it be best
for us to help each other?
Fina: ......
Galcian: ... We will reach Valua in half a day. Enjoy the comforts of the
brig until then.
[After that, the scene now shows Aika and Vyse getting ready to leave for Valua
in their small sailboat]
Lindsi[from the dock]: Vyse! Aika! Good Luck!
Alan: You'd better come back! Promise me, okay?
Aika[from the boat]: Of course! Don't worry... We'll come back with everyone
else, too!
Vyse: Alright... Aika, let's go.
Aika: Aye Aye. Valua should be on a landmark due north from here.
Vyse: I'm getting the course! Alright... Valua, here we come!
[After a while, Vyse and Aika are travelling to Valua when they stumble upon
a really thick fog that turns the screen completely white]
Aika: Visibility is terrible! Vyse, the fog's too thick! I can barely see!
Vyse: That's strange... there's never any fog in this region... I wonder
what's causing it. The only way to get to Valua is through here... Slow
to half speed...
Aika: Vyse, wait... we're to close to that island over there!
Vyse: What? Where?
Aika: Aaahh! Vyse! Look! It's not an island! Whatever it is... it's alive!
Vyse: What the?! It's an archwhale!
[A gigantic whale appears out of nowhere and starts swimming besides Vyse
and Aika's ship. The weather suddenly becomes windy]
Vyse: I've never seen one this big before!
Aika: Vyse, we'll get killed if we get too close to it, but we've got to hurry
to Valua. Vyse, What should we do?
*IF YOU CHOOSE "... I don't know!" *
Vyse: ... I don't know. Aika, What do you think we should do?
Aika: Vyse! Everyone is depending on you! If you want to become a captain
someday, you'll have to be more decisive than that! Without any cannons,
there's no way we can take that thing out. It's best that we retreat!
As long as it doesn't see us, we'll be okay!...
*IF YOU CHOOSE "Attack it!" *
Vyse: Attack it! We've got to hurry and it's in our way! If we don't do
anything, I'll probably knock us out of the ship anyway!
Aika: What are you talking about, Vyse? Are you crazy? How are we going to
fight in this little ship? We don't even have cannons! What do you want
to do... 10,000 Cutlass Furies?! There's no way we can kill that thing!
We'll be okay as long as it doesn't see us. Aaaahh!...
* IF YOU CHOOSE "Retreat!" *
Vyse: What do you think we're going to do? Of course we're going to retreat!
We don't stand a chance against that thing in this ship! I know we're in
a hurry, but if that thing attack us, every one will know will be
executed. We'd better play it safe...
Aika: Okay. I can't argue with that. We'll be okay as long as it doesn't see
us! Aaaahh!...
- REGULAR SCRIPT CONTINUES -
[The big archwhale suddenly begins sucking in the ship into his mouth]
Aika: Vyse! It saw us!
Vyse[grabbing ahold the side of the ship]: Grab hold of something and brace
yourself! Don't let go!
Aika: But... but... The ship! It's breaking up!
Vyse-Aika: Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!
[The screen turns black for a while and suddenly a voice is heard]
Voice: Hey... get up.
[The camera shows Vyse lying unconcious on the floor of another ship]
Vyse: Ugh...
Voice: Are you goin' to sleep all day? Get up!
[Vyse wakes up and he begins rubbing his head]
Vyse: Oh... my head...
Aika: Uhhh...
Vyse[looking at Aika lying on the floor too]: Aika, are you okay?
[Aika wakes up]
Voice: So... you finally decided to get up, huh?
Vyse: ......!
[An old man appears to be standing in front of Vyse and Aika. He's looks about
60 years old and has a metallic arm instead of a real one in his right one]
Man with the Artificial Arm: Because of you two, Rhaknam got away! I was so
close...
Vyse: Rhaknam...? Now I remember... that huge arcwhale that blew our ship off
course!! I though we were finished, but you rescued us, Hey, thanks!
[Vyse gets up to thank the man]
Man with the Artificial Arm: Thanks?!... Thanks you say??! Don't start with me!
[The man hits Vyse in the face with his metallic arm. After getting hit, Vyse
falls down to the floor again]
Aika: Vyse!
Vyse[rubbing his head]: Owwwww! I'm not sure why, but I keep getting hurt
today...
Aika[looking at the man and helping Vyse up]: Hey!!! What are you doing, you
crusty... err rusty... old man?! He didn't do anything!
Man with the Artificial Arm: Didn't do anything?! I've been chasing after that
archwhale for years!!! I was so close to finally
capturin' him, but because of you kids, he got
away!
Vyse: I'm really sorry... That you didn't catch him... Really...
Man with the Artificial Arm: Hrmph... Debris from you ship hit my sails...
I'm lucky my ship is still airbone, you kids were
even luckier that I was here to grab you. I was
working all morning' tossing' what was left of
your ship overboard. Now I'm stuck with the two
of you.
Aika: What?! Our ship... was destroyed?
Man with the Artificial Arm: Aye... Now, this isn't a passenger ship. Everyone
on board needs to pull their own weight. If you
don't like it, you can jump off... I need to keep
the load as light as possible anyway.
Aika: Wh... What?!
Vyse: Oh, great... What kind of mess have we gotten ourselves into?
[After that, the scene goes into the ship's bridge, where we see the man and
Vyse standing there]
Man with the Artificial Arm: Go down into the hull and bring the two supply
boxes up to the bridge.
Vyse: Bring to supply boxes to the bridge? No problem. I'll bring them right
away! Actually, sir... We were on our way to Valua when we were attacked.
Where is this ship heading?
Man with the Artificial Arm: Where this ship is going' is none of your concern.
Now get moving!
Vyse[talking to himself]: I give up... I don't really have time to be doing
this! But what other choice do I have?
[This dialog only appears if you speak to Aika before picking up a box]
Aika[moping the deck]: That old man... He's working us really hard. He needs to
lighten up. Be he did save us... so I guess we can't
complain too much. Oh, well, back to work...
[The script then continues until you go and pick up the boxes]
Vyse[looking at one box]: Well, this looks like the box that the old man wanted
to get.
[Vyse picks up a really heavy box]
Vyse: Urrrrgh! What the...? What's in this thing? Great, this guy is probably
going to work us to death!
[Vyse begins carrying the box back to bridge of the boat where the man is
looking directly at him. Vyse then puts down the box direcly where the man
wanted it]
Man with the Artificial Arm: Hrmph... You look like you've got a little more
than lubber on your bones. What's your name, boy?
Vyse: My name is Vyse, I'm a Blue Rogue. I used to do this type of grunt work
on the pirate ship.
Man with the Artificial Arm: An Air Pirate, huh? Well... and what exactly would
two Air Pirates be doin' sailin' alone?
Vyse: Well... We have our reasons... Sir, we need to get to Valua. I beg of
you, please take us there!
Man with the Artificial Arm: ... Valua, huh? Explain.
[Vyse then begins explaining to the Old Man what happened to him and why he
needs to get to Valua]
Vyse: ... and that's why we have to get there as soon as possible. We need to
save our friends.
Man with the Artificial Arm: Hrmph... tryin' to pick a fight with the Armada?
You've got to be out of your mind, boy. I have no
time to babysit you and your friend and I need to
find Rhaknam again. Try your luck with a different
ship.
Vyse: I see... It would really help if you could bring us, but we can't force
you to. By the way, Why are you exactly chasing Rhaknam, anyway?
Man witht the Artificial Arm: ...... There is no need to tell you. And there
still one supply box left! Get down into the hull
and get movin'!
Vyse[talking to himself]: Great, I spill my guts, he keeps quiet... And then
makes me do more work! What's with this guy?
[Script continues until you go and pick up the second box]
Vyse[looking at the second box]: Great, now I gotta move boxes all day...
[Vyse picks up the box]
Vyse: Ummph! What is in this thing anyway?!
[Vyse goes back to the bridge and puts down the other box]
Vyse: I'm done, sir.
Man with the Artificial Arm: Alright, now on to the next chore. Take the helm.
Vyse: What? Are you really letting me?
Man with the Artificial Arm: I want to see how well you can sail. If you can't
sail, then you'll be loadin' boxes the rest of the
trip!
Vyse: Wow! Most of my duties revolved around raiding, so I hardly ever get to
actually fly our old ship!
[Vyse runs to the front of the ship where the helm is and begins checking
it out]
Vyse: Well... They're pretty old, but these gauges are in great shape! And the
wheel is so light! It's really responsive, too! This ship must make
really tight turns.
Man with the Artificial Arm: Heh... For someone who's hardly ever been at the
helm of a ship this size, you seem to know quite
a bit, boy.
Vyse: Hehe, I spent a lot of time on the bridge of the Albatross, so I picked
up a lot.
Man with the Artificial Arm: Good. Now let's see if you can actually sail. Our
destination is Sailor's Island, about 40 leagues
from here.
Vyse: Wait a minute... You could at least tell me the name of this ship... and
yours while you're at it?
Man with the Artificial Arm: Hrmph. The ship's called the Little Jack.
And I'm Drachma.
Drachma: Alright, now stop fooling around... The sun is going to set soon!
Vyse: Aye aye, Captain Drachma! Little Jack, Full Speed ahead!
================================= END SCENE ==================================
============================ 7.7 SAILORS' ISLAND =============================
[Vyse, Aika and Drachma dock at Sailor's Island. After that, they stand in
front of the main entrance of the island]
Vyse: Wow... So this is Sailors' Island .
Aika: I've never been here before, but I can already tell that this place is
lots of fun! Yup, I think I'm gonna like it here.
Drachma: Good, after I restock my supplies here, I'm leaving again. You' two
can stay here.
Aika: Hey, Wait a second! We have no ship! Are you planning to just strand us
here?!
Drachma: I've got to find Rhaknam... and in the meantime, I have to find a
cannon that is powerful enough to destroy him. I have no time to waste
with you kids. You two can resolve your own problems.
[Drachma walks into a tavern and leaves Vyse and Aika alone on the island]
Aika: This is just great! He's not listening to anything we're saying!
Vyse: I wonder if there's anything that will make the old man change his mind.
Maybe we can dig up some information. Let's go around town and see what
we can find.
[Vyse and Aika start snooping around town asking people for some
useful information. After a while, they enter a Ship Part store where the
merchant and owner greets them]
Ship Parts Merchant: Hey there, big guy. How's the sailing going? This is a
ship parts shop specializing in big guns and stuff. But
actually, I just ran out of stock. I'm waiting for the
next shipment to arrive. So, I'm a little bored right now.
Why don't you stay and talk for a while? I don't have
anything to do and I might have some information that
might interest you.
Vyse: So tell me, What's this "information" that you have?
Ship Parts Merchant: I'm glad you asked. It's something I heard from a sailor
in his way back from Valua. He says that the Ship Parts
Merchant in Valua has started selling a cannon called the
"Harpoon Cannon" It's sort of a giant spear-like weapon
that they mount on the front of your ship... and it's
connected by a rope or something. And from what I hear,
because there's a rope attached, you can real that spear
like thing back into your ship. Saves money on ammo. I
expect it packs a real punch. With a weapon like that,
even a small ship can probably hold it's own against
larger ships.
Vyse: A Harpoon Cannon, huh?
Aika: You know, we just might be able to use this information to try and
convince Cap'n Drachma to take us to Valua.
[Vyse and Aika leave the Ship Parts Store and they go back to the tavern to
speak to Drachma about what they just heard]
Vyse: Captain Drachma!
Drachma: Will you stop callin' me that? You don't sail with me anymore.
Therefore, I'm no longer your "Captain"
Aika: Really? Oh, that's too bad. I heard about a cannon that might be able to
take out Rhaknam, but since you'e no longer sailing with us... I guess it
doesn't matter...
Drachma: ... What did you say?
* IF YOU CHOOSE "Come right out and say it" *
Vyse: Well, in Valua, there's something called a "Harpoon Cannon" It's the most
powerful cannon there is. Cap... err... Drachma, you could go to Valua
and get one yourself... and take us along for the ride...What do you say?
Drachma: Hmm... It's probably just some trick to get me to take you to Valua...
Vyse: Wait a minute! I'm telling the true!...
* IF YOU CHOOSE, "Beat around the bush" *
Vyse: You know, I was amazed when I saw Rhaknam... I've never seen an archwhale
that big before. I used to think that he was indestructible until I knew
that there was a cannon that could destroy him... But, you're not sailing
with us anymore... So I guess it doesn't really matter... Gee Aika... I'd
do anything for a ride to Valua... I wonder who can get us there...
Drachma: Are you trying to bargain with me, boy?!
Vyse: Well, since you put it so eloquently... If we are going to give you
information that will help you, we expect you to help us.
Drachma: Hrmph!...
- REGULAR SCRIPT CONTINUES -
Polly: ... Now that I think about it, I remember hearing about something like
that. Some Valuan soldiers passing through here were talking about it
one day. They said it had enough power to destroy a small island.
Drachma: ... Polly, I hope you aren't takin' their side and lying to me...
Polly: When, Drachma, have I EVER lied to you, huh?
Drachma: Hmm...
Polly: And besides, I can tell these kids aren't lying by the looks in their
eyes. I've been running this tavern for 20 years. Drachma... I know
people. I can spot fakes and liars... and these children are neither...
Drachma: ... Alright, I won't get my hopes up, but I'll take you to Valua
anyway.
Aika: What?! That means...
Drachma: Hrmph... If you want to go, you'll have to work the ENTIRE way, but
I'll take you there...
[Vyse and Aika do the celebration dance of some kind]
Vyse - Aika: Alright!
Aika: Cap'n, you're the best! And thank you too, Polly! Thank you for believing
us...
Drachma: Hrmph...
Polly: Don't sweat it. When you're done with your adventure, come back and tell
us about it. This crusty old bunch is dying for some fresh tales.
Aika: Aye aye, ma'am! It's the least I can do!
Polly: Hahaha... alright... but be careful. Valua isn't know for their
hospitality... They usually shoot first and ask questions later.
Drachma: She's right. Also, we'll need an entry passport to get in.
Unfortunately, I don't have one... but I'm sure someone here on
Sailors' Island has one.
Vyse: Valuan Passport, huh? Alright! Let's go look for one... Captain Drachma!
[Vyse, Aika and Drachma go to the Sailor's Guild for some information about
Valuan passports]
Vyse: Is this the Sailor's Guild? I need some information...
Guildmaster: Oh! If you have questions about sailing, you're in the right place
Vyse: I need to get a Valuan Passport sometime... um... soon. Do you know how
can I do this?
Guildmaster: Hmm... A Valuan Passport soon, huh? That might be a little
difficult... After the initial application, there's an intensive
background check... and that can take up to a full lunar cycle.
Aika: We can't just sit around for a lunar cycle!!! You're the guildmaster here
right? Can't you make a fake passport or something?!
[The Guilmaster takes a step back in fear after hearing those words]
Guildmaster: NO NO NO NO... NO way! If anyone is caugh making or copying a fake
passport, they're executed on the spot!
Aika: So, what you're saying is that all we have to do is not get caught,
right? Or, if we do get caught, all we have to do is escape.
Guildmaster: I don't want the Valuans after me! If I make a fake, and you get
caugh, they might be able to trace it back to me! Then, I'm a dead
man.
Aika: You call yourself a Guildmaster, huh? You're just a Valuan puppet...
Let's go find someone else!
Voice: Um... Excuse me...
[Vyse and Aika turn around to see a small old man in desert clothes standing
there]
Nasr Merchant: So, you are looking for a Valuan passport, eh? I was in Valua on
business and now I'm on my way home. I don't need this anymore.
I have but one request to ask of you, and the passport is yours.
Aika: Really? You have a passport?! What do you want? Anything... Ask us
anything!
Nasr Merchant: I'm a merchant from the Kingdom of Nasr. Nasr is located on a
desert island to the east of here. I've heard rumors that the
Black Pirate, Baltor, has been seen in the skies near there...
Drachma: Baltor, huh? I've heard of him. He's ruthless... He attacks unarmed
ships and steals their cargo.
Nasr Mercahnt: And, what I wanted to ask of you was, well, if you could escort
back to Nasr. If you get me safely to Nasr, then I will give you
the passport when we arrive. I think it is an even trade, yes?
* IF YOU CHOOSE, "No thanks, we'll find a something else..." *
Vyse: It's alright... we'll find some other way to get a passport. Nasr is too
far out the way for us.
Aika: What are you talking about, Vyse?! Aren't we supposed to help those who
needs us? We're Blue Rogues, remember!? Besides, do you have any other
plans on how to get into Valua if we turn down this offer?
Drachma: Hmm... It appears that we have no other choice at this point.
Nasr Merchant: So you accept my offer? Excellent. I leave myself under your
protection...
* IF YOU CHOOSE, "We accept your offer!" *
Vyse: We accept your offer! It's a deal.
Nasr Merchant: You accept? You are wise beyond your years, young one.
Aika: Just leave it to us! We'll protect you!
Drachma: Hrmph... Well, if we want to get into Valua, I suppose we have no
other choice...
- REGULAR SCRIPT CONTINUES -
Nasr Merchant: ... I shall be waiting for you at the docks.
Vyse: Alright. We'll finish up here and meet you at the Little Jack.
================================= END SCENE ==================================
======================== 7.8 BALTOR THE BLACK PIRATE =========================
[The group meets the Nasr Merchant at the docks. After that, they get ready to
leave for Nasr]
Nasr Merchant: You see that stone reef straight ahead? Nasr is the desert land
just beyonnd that reef. However, normal ships cannot pass
through that reef. Therefore, you must fly alongside of it and
go straight for a while. Eventually, you will see the South
Dangel Strait, a vally-like area in between two islands.
Vyse: So just fly alongside the reef and head due east, huh? Alright, let's
move!
[The group is just getting close to Nasr when suddenly a Black Pirate ship
appears out of nowhere. The ship is the Blackbeard, commanded by Baltor]
Air Pirate: Captain Baltor! There's a Nasr mercahnt ship coming into view of
port-side! But, there's a strange ship following it very closely...
I don't recognize the markings.
Baltor: Gahahahahaha! You have nothing to fear from a ship THAT old! Let's
introduce these fools to the true meaning of fear! They will know that
I, Baltor, send them plummeting to their deaths!!! Alright men!
Battlestations!!! Don't let them escape! And take everything on board
that isn't nailed down!
[The Blackbeard suddenly appears in front of the Little Jack]
Aika: Vyse, there's a ship straight, heading right for us! I see a black skull
and... They're Black Pirates!
Vyse: So that's Baltor, huh? What should we do, Captain?
Drachma: We're vastly outnumbered. Don't let them board us. We'll fight it out
from a distance. Ready the cannons. If you see them attack, I want you
to go into evasive maneuvers. Them, when they're in your sights, blast
them.
Vyse: Aye aye, Captain! Let's rip'em to shreds... Sir!
Baltor: Gahahaha! How do you like that? Feel the power of my ship, the
Blackbeard!
(Ship Battle)
[After the battle ends, we see Baltor's ship on fire]
Baltor: Blast! You were lucky this time! But I will hunt you down and have my
revenge! This I swear on the code of the Black Pirate! You will rue
the day you ever crossed paths with me! And somebody put out that fire!
Aika[inside the Little Jack]: Vyse, we did it!
Vyse: Yeah!
[Vyse and Aika do the celebration thing again but this time, Drachma hits Vyse
on the the back of his head]
Vyse: Ow! What'd you do that for, Captain?
Drachma: We're not there yet, you idiot! Never take your hands of the wheel
until we've come to a complete stuff!
Aika: Yeah, you idiot! Why don't you watch what you're doing? It's a good thing
Cap'n Drachma's here to keep you in line.
Vyse: Aika... why you little...
Aika: Hahaha... I'm sorry! I just couldn't resist. You just defeated Baltor
the Scary, why don't you lighten up a little bit?
[Aika points at a map]
Aika: We're almost there! Get ready!!!
[The group finally arrive to Nasr]
Nasr National Guard Fleet: Greeting! Welcome home! We are the fleet that guards
the South Dungel Strait. We will escort you from
this point.
Nasr Merchant: Oh, that would be great appreciated! Lead the way... Thank you
very much. It would appear you have safely brought me home. As I
promised, here is the Valuan passport.
Aika[looking at the pasport with Vyse]: Alright! So this is what the passport
looks like...
Vyse: We can finally get into Valua with this!
Nasr Merchant: I must get going! May the Red moon watch over you and light your
path.
[The merchant leaves]
Drachma: Off to Valua! Let's not waste any more time!
Vyse: Aye aye! Little Jack, full ridder! Turning 180 degrees... to Valua! Full
speed ahead!
================================= END SCENE ==================================
=========================== 7.9 THE GRAND FORTRESS ===========================
[Vyse and the gang finally gets to Valua. When they arrive, they are stopped
by a patrol ship]
Vyse: A passport? I've got one right here. Take your time looking it over.
Valuan Patrol Ship: ...Hmm. Very Well. You may proceed.
[The group finally enters Valua]
Aika: Looks like we made it through. We just passed a Valuan Security
Checkpoint. That's quite an accomplishment, don't you think?
Vyse: Yeah... I thought getting into Valua would be a lot tougher. Now all we
have to do is sneak into...
[Some really bright lights get turned on]
Vyse: ...!
Aika: Huh? What's that?!
[The camera now shows a gigantic, metallic wall with a locked door being guarded
by Valuan airships and guards]
Drachma: It's the only entrance into the city of Valua... "The Grand Fortress!"
Valua is sorrounded by impassable mountains so that is the only way
in or out.
Vyse: Wow... I can't believe they actually built something that big...
Drachma: During the Valuan-Nasr War, over a 100 Nasr warships bombarded this
fortress for days. However, all the shells were repelled by these
walls. The fortress may be the strongest structure of the new world.
Aika: Look! It's moving!!!
[The Grand Fortress begins opening up to allow all the ships waiting outside
to go in]
Drachma: The door of the fortress opens only once a day to allow ships to pass
through. The backside of that wall is completely lined with cannons.
It was those cannons that nearly wiped out the entire Nasr fleet.
Vyse: Defense and offense all in one... It's an invincible fortress.
Aika: That's where they're holding Captain Dyne... and Fina!
Drachma: No prisoner has ever escaped from that fortress. Although, I've heard
that there's one way out.
Vyse: Really? Then it's possible?
Drachma: Yeah. After they execute prisoners, their corpses are thrown off the
island.
Aika: That's just great! What are we going to do now?
Vyse: Hah! No one's ever escaped, because they've never tried!
I love a challenge! Don't worry, I will rescue our friends and escape
from that fortress. Just watch me!
[The Little Jack goes into Valua. After that, the door closes completely]
================================= END SCENE ==================================
=========================== 7.10 THE FIVE ADMIRALS ===========================
[In this new scene, we first see Ramirez and Galcian talking to each other in
a big, fancy room in Valua]
Ramirez: Lord Galcian. Your Admirals have assembled... as you have commanded.
Galcian: Excellent.
[Galcian turns around and he sees 5 Admirals sitting around a large table on
the middle of the room]
Galcian: Admirals of the Valuan Armada... Let me first offer my gratitude to
each of you for asembling on such short notice. Let it be known that
we succesfully captured a citizen of the Silver Civilization, as
Empress Teodora requested.
Old Admiral: What?! How?!
Large Admiral: So, we've finally captured one... Who accomplished this?
1st Admiral of the Armada Alfonso: Hah hah hah... Of course, I was the one who
find her first... I crippled her ship and
captured her. But I was betrayed by my own
Vice Captain and she was taken from me...
2nd Admiral of the Armada Gregorio: I'm sure Empress Teodora is very pleased
that she was recovered. Now, if we can
persuade her to give us the information
we need, it would be worth all of the
effort we spent tracking her down.
3rd Admiral of the Armada Vigoro: You said that the citizen of the Silver
Civilization that you found was a woman? Now
THAT'S something worth getting excited for.
How old is she? Is she good looking? Does she
wear leather? I like my women wild and crazy!
4th Admiral of the Armada Belleza: You're out of luck, Vigoro. The girl is the
exact opposite. She's very shy and demure.
Her name is Fina. She is currently being
escorted to see Empress Teodora in the
Imperial Palace.
5th Admiral of the Armada De Loco: Hehehehehe... Very Good, Admiral Belleza.
I see that you are our espionage expert for
good reasons. Of course, being the head of
weapon development, I have deeply vested
interest in the technology of the Silver
Civilization! Hehehe!
Galcian: I will head back to the Imperial Palace and await Empress Teodora's
orders to commence the search for the Moon Crystals. Fina, our new...
ally, shall aid us in gathering all six of the Crystal from around the
world.
As for you... Alfonso. You lied on your report. As a punishment, you
are now relieved of your position as Commander of the Mid Ocean fleet.
And for an indifinite period of time, you shall be confined to
Ixa'taka.
Alfonso: Y... you think that I lied in my report sire? Ha... haha... What are
you talking about?
Galcian: You were attacked by the Air Pirates and you deserted your crew and
your ship to save yourself. Your ship and your crew were released by
the Air Pirates and returned recently. They filled a full... and
ACCURATE... report.
Alfonso: Bah...
Galcian: Our Armada in invincible. Showing any signs of weakness is
unforgivable. I trust that you will not forget that. This meeting is
over. I want all of you to be ready to depend at a moment notice.
Valuan Admirals: Yes, Lord Galcian!
================================= END SCENE ==================================
=========================== 7.11 LOWER CITY VALUA ============================
[The scene starts with the Little Jack entering Valua]
Vyse: So this is the capital of Valua, huh? It's impressive...
Aika: It's beautiful... But the skies are so gloomy...
Drachma: Valua is a beautiful city, but because of the fierce thunderstorms
caused by the Yellow Moon the city is shrouded in eternal darkness.
[The camera now shows a bright palace standing on the horizon]
Drachma: That's the Imperial Palace straight ahead of us. The area on the left
shore is called Upper City.
Vyse: Upper City?
Drachma: The people of Valua are either very rich or very poor and they detest
each other. Only the richest people in Valua can live in Upper City.
The less fortunate are confined to Lower City. It's on the right shore
Aika: It doesn't seem right to force them to live in poverty like that.
Vyse: Hey, Captain... Where should we land?
Drachma: In Lower City. There is a dock that repairs and remodels ships.
Vyse: Aye aye. I'll bring us into Lower City Port.
[The groups docks at Lower City]
Aika: Hmm... Lower City looks worse up close. Everything is dirty and run down
and it smells like... garbage.
Vyse: We still need to check the place out. We need to find a way to save Dad
and the others. Captain, what do you think we should do?
Drachma: I'm returnin' to the docks... I'll be overseein' the installation of
the Harpoon Cannon.
Vyse: Let's split up. Aika and I will check out the city while you get your
cannon. When we're done, let's meet back at the inn.
Drachma: Sure, I'll see you two later then.
[Drachma then heads back to the docks leaving Aika and Vyse free to explore
the city. While they are checking out the city, they run into a red-headed boy
wearing some really old, dirty clothes]
Young Boy: Hm? Who're you? You guys look like sailors... stupid ones, at that.
Why else would you come all this way to see a dump like Lower City?
Aika: Well, well... aren't we a little obnoxious... kind of reminds me of a
particular someone when they were little.
Vyse: Hey! I wasn't this annoying when I was little! Give me some credit here!
Young Boy: What did you say? Are you trying to start a fight with me?! The name
is Marco! Everybody who is anybody knows who I am!
Vyse: Hah... for such a short kid, you sure know how to talk big! Sorry, boy,
but we don't have time to play with little kids right now.
Marco: What did you say?! I'll remember this! Fools!
[Marco leaves. After a while, Aika and Vyse walk in into a dirty tavern that
looks like it's falling apart completely. In there, the Taverkeep greets them]
Taverkeep: Did you hear? Tomorrow morning, there's going to be an execution at
the Coliseum. I heard that they will be executing some Air Pirates
that the Armada captured.
Vyse: Wh, What? Is that true?
Tavernkeep: Yeah. There was a soldier in here earlier telling everyone about it
Heh... It's been a while since we've had an interesting show.
Vyse: They make executions into shows? This place is horrible...
Aika: Vyse... We have no time to waste.
[Vyse and Aika leave the tavern and they head directly to the Inn]
Innkeeper: Are you going to stay the night? It's 80 gold...
Vyse: I guess we'll stay the night. We've got another guy joining us... a big,
old man. He'll pay for the room.
Innkeeper: You better be telling the truth, for your own safe. If he doesn't
come, I'll be knocking on your door.
Vyse: Okay, okay if he doesn't come, then you can kick us out if you want.
We'll be heading off to the room now.
[Vyse and Aika enter the room. When they enter, Aika jumps onto a bed]
Aika: I'm so tired... I can barely stand. It's been a long time since I've laid
down in a nice, warm bed... with pillows... and... blankets...
Vyse: I'm tired too, Aika, and it's not like we've had time to relax ever since
we left Pirate Isle...
Aika: True... and I don't think I'll be able to sleep right now, even in a real
bed. I can't stop thinking about Captain Dyne and the others.
Vyse: I'm sure they're okay. Let's at least try and get some rest while we can.
Who knows if we'll be able to sleep in real beds again?
Aika: That's right... you've been cramped on a hammock in the engine room of
the Little Jack for quite a few nights now...
Vyse: I don't mind the lack of space... it's just that the engine is so old...
and it's so loud...
Drachma: Well, excume me for having an old ship.
[Drachma enters the room]
Vyse: Captain! I didn't expect you back so soon!
Drachma: If you don't like my ship, you can find yourself another one. My ship
wasn't mean for anyone but me in the first place.
Vyse: I didn't mean anything like that! I'm really greateful! Honest!
Drachma: Hmm... What's wrong Aika? You're quiet for a change.
Aika: Tomorrow morning... The Air Pirates... our friends... are going to be
executed!
Vyse: They said it's going to happen in the Coliseum. They said that when they
execute Air Pirates, it draws a huge crowd.
Drachma: Public execution, huh... sounds like somethin' the people of these
town would enjoy.
Aika: We've got to hurry and rescue them! They'll all be killed! Vyse, what
should we do?!
* IF YOU CHOOSE: "Hmm... I... I don't know..." *
Vyse: Hmm, I... don't... know. We don't have any. What should we do Aika?
Aika: Vyse, you're embarassing me! Why can't you be more decisive?! I can't
sit any longer! Let's go find them right now!
Drachma: You'd be making' a huge mistake...
* IF YOU CHOOSE: "Let's try and save everyone right now!" *
Vyse: Let's go save everyone right now! We won't cost another moment!
Aika: Yeah! We have to rescue them before it's too late!
Drachma: Now just calm down. If you start runnin' around haphazardly, you're
bound to be caugh and executed as well. How exactly did you plan to
save them if you don't even know where they're been held?
Vyse: So what are you suggesting we do? We're out of time!...
* IF YOU CHOOSE: "Let's sneak into the Coliseum!" *
Vyse: Hmm... Tomorrow, we'll sneak into the Coliseum. Dad and the others will
be difinitely be taken there tomorrow morning... we'll resue them there.
Aika: What? You mean you're not going to try and save them right now?!
Vyse: If we start frantically searching everywhere, we'll probably get caught
by the Valuan Guards and if that happens, we're all dead.
Drachma: Vyse is right. But it may get a little ugly at the Coliseum tomorrow..
but it's our best chance to save them.
Aika: So, tomorrow morning at the Coliseum it is! Now that we sort of have a
plan, I feel a little better! I think It will work... besides, we have
the element of surprise on our side.
Vyse: So, that's our plan. Tomorrow we will break into the Coliseum and rescue
everyone!
- REGULAR SCRIPT CONTINUES -
[The group hears a lound sound coming out of outisde of the room]
Vyse: Who's there?!
[They go outside and they find someone standing on the roof of the inn]
Drachma: Someone was spying on us! Don't let him get away!!!
Aika: Vyse! Need a lift?
[Aika lifts Vyse into the roof. After that he start chasing the kid who was
spying on them. When Vyse is getting close to him, the kid tries to escape
through a sewer hole but before he jumps in and escapes, Vyse caughts him by
the neck ring on his shirt and lifts him into the air with his hand]
Marco: Put me down, you glass-eyed freak!
Vyse: What the...? You're that kid from this afternoon!
Marco: So, what's it to you? PUT ME DOWN NOW!
[Vyse drops Marco to the floor]
Marco: Ow! You didn't have to drop me!
[Aika and Drachma arrive to the spot]
Aika: Vyse! Did you catch him? Oh, no... It's that annoying kid again.
Marco: Who are you calling annoying?! At least I don't have hair like a
scarecrow! Heh, I heard EVERYTHING you said. Now, if I was to rat on you
to the guards... you'd all be executed!
Drachma: Well... that really leave us no choice. We're goin' to have to kill
you now, boy.
Aika: W... wait!!! Cap'n!
Marco: Hmph! If you're going to kill me, then kill me! It's not like anyone
would care! I don't even think the rats would miss me. I've pretty much
given up on life in this dump! If I'm dead, at least I won't have to
search the garbage bins for food every night.
Drachma: Really... good. Then you have no regrets...
Aika: Cap'n!! He's just a kid!
Vyse: Hey, Marco. That hole in the ground next to you... What is it?
Marco: Oh... this? There's Catacombs under the city... I've heard that they've
been around since the Old World. Now, they're just sewers... This is...
where I live.
Vyse: Sewers, huh? Can you use them to get into the Coliseum?
Marco: Yeah, it reaches the Coliseum... W... wait a second... You were serious!?
Vyse: Yep. If we take the Catacombs to the Coliseum, we can sneak in without
worrying about the guards.
Marco: AHAHAHAHA!!!!! What're you, stupid or something? You're going to get
caught! There's no way! Why don't you just give up and go home?
Vyse: Can't do that. Blue Rogues never give up! Especially when their friends
are counting on them. Marco, if you ever went sailing and ran into a
storm, with the way you're talking, you'd probably just give up.
"It's too rough! I shouldn't have gotten on this ship! I want my mommy!"
is what you'd probably say.
Marco: W... what? Take that back!
Vyse: Even if you run into a storm, there's always a way out. No matter how
bleak things seem. I've been in really bad situations before and I always
look for a way out. I'm in that kind of a situation now, and I'm not
giving up!
Marco: So, what are you trying to say?
Vyse: Captain... Aika... tomorrow, we're taking the Catacombs to the Coliseum.
Since we don't have to get there until tomorrow, we should rest tonight.
[Aika, Drachma and Vyse start leaving back to the Inn leaving Marco behind]
Marco: Hey! Aren't you supposed to kill me now?
Vyse: You're going to be at the Coliseum with us tomorrow, too. You said that
you've grown tired of living, right? Well, I just want you to see
something interesting before you die.
Marco: What? You can't be serious...
[Aika, Drachma and Vyse head back to the Inn]
================================= END SCENE ==================================
============================ 7.12 TO THE RESCUE! =============================
Vyse (narrating): Now, we had a plan... With our objective in mind, we hurried
back to the inn, crwled into our soft, warm beds, and were
fast asleep. Morning came too soon. The skies were so dark
that it fell like the sun had deserted us. Quietly, we all
hoped that this wasn't an omen.
[It's morning in Lower City Valua. We see Aika, Vyse and Drachma talking to
each other in front of the Inn's entrance]
Aika: It all comes down to today... I hope we can save them...
Vyse: Let's go to the entrance to the Catacombs and get to the Coliseum.
Either we all go home, or none of us go...
[They cross the Catacombs until they reach the entrance to the
Coliseum. After that, we see that inside the Coliseum, Dyne and the Air
Pirates are just about to be execute in front of a really big, loud crowd]
Executioner: And now we present the executions of the notorious Air Pirate Dyne
and his treacherous band of Blue Rogues! Their crimes include
attacking Imperial Air Ships and stealing precious cargo. The
price of stealing from Valua is high! And Dyne and his pitiful
band will pay... with their heads!
[Marco is then seen standing on the crowd looking at the execution]
Marco: Heh... looks like he gave up after all... I knew it... Huh?!
[Suddenly when no one is expecting it, Vyse comes out of the manhole leading
from the catacombs and he attacks a Valuan Guard holding Dyne. Dyne is free
after the guard falls to the floor unconcious]
Dyne: ...Vyse!
[The others guards are attacked by the remaining Air Pirates. They set
themselves free and they start to run away]
Vyse: Hurry! Run for the opening in the floor!
Aika: Hi, everyone! I missed you, guys! We're here to rescue you! Come on,
let's go!
[The Air Pirates go down the hole but Vyse, Aika and Drachma remain on the
surface of the Coliseum standing directly in front of the Excecutioner]
Executioner: Well... how very bold of you... You have deprived the audience
from witnessing the death of a notorious band of Air Pirates!
Now they will witness your execution!
Vyse: I don't know why you're all upset. The audience already got to watch us
free our friends, and trash your guards! Now they get to watch us beat
the snot out of you. What more could they want? By the way, the name's
Vyse!
(Battle)
[After the Battle ends, the audience start cheering for Vyse. He does a few
victory moves and starts posing for the audience. After that, he goes down the
hole where he finds Marco standing there]
Marco: Hey... you really did it. You rescued your friends. I can't believe it.
You really are something...
Vyse: Marco! What are you doing here?
Marco: I told you before, right? I live here. I know everything about these
sewers. This wall was built with a secret door. I took your friends into
the secret room just behind me.
[Vyse goes into the secret room where he happily greets Dyne and his crew]
Dyne: You were a little late, Vyse... If you were any later, I'd be a whole
head shorter right now. Vyse, I always knew you were tough, but breaking
into a public execution and freeing us all... Now I think you're crazy
too!
Vyse: Heh heh... what can I say? I'm not ready to take over as head of the Dyne
family just yet.
[Vyse start looking around the room for something]
Vyse: Wait a minute... Where's Fina?
Dyne: Fina? When they captured us from Pirate Isle, they took her somewhere
else. I overheard some soldiers talking about her... sounded like she was
taken to the Valuan Imperial Palace.
Vyse: What? Why was she taken to the palace?
Dyne: It appears that the Empress herself wanted to meet Fina. I've got a
feeling that there's more to that girl than meets the eye. She knows
something important enough to have Valua after her.
Vyse: Fina...
Dyne: Vyse, what are you going to do?
*IF YOU CHOOSE: "Let's lay low for a little while" *
Vyse: We should lay low for a little while. If we start combing the palace,
we'll be spotted for sure.
Dyne: You've still got lots to learn. This is Valua... we'll be discovered
sooner or later, whether or not we remain in hiding. This may be our only
chance to save Fina... right now, the Imperial troops are more concerned
about finding us!...
*IF YOU CHOOSE: * "We have to go save Fina" *
Vyse: Of course we have to go save Fina! The guards are scattered... The whole
island is in chaos.
Dyne: Hmm... It'll be dangerous, but it looks like now is our best chance to
strike...
- REGULAR SCRIPT CONTINUES -
Drachma: I will take all of the Air Pirates back to the Little Jack. We'll be
waiting for you. You need to be at the Little Jack when they open the
gates!
Vyse: I know... when the gates open, it's our only chance to escape.
Drachma: First, you'll want to go to Upper City. You might be able to sneak
aboard a rail car that's on it's way to the Palace.
Vyse: I see... Upper City, huh? Marco, how do I get to Upper City from here?
Marco: Um... If you go down that tunnel over there, you'll reach Upper City.
But there are tons of guards in Upper City! You shouldn't go! It's too
dangerous!
Vyse: I'm ready for anything, Marco. In the midst of the storm, I can see the
path that will get us out of Valua. I've got to try. Let's go, Aika!
We gotta save Fina!
[Aika and Vyse leave the Air Pirates with Drachma and they start heading down
the tunnel leading to Upper City. They reach the exit when Marco suddenly
appears and stops them completely]
Marco: Wait, Vyse!
Vyse: Marco... you followed us? What's wrong?
Marco: Vyse... Don't... go... please...
[Marco begins to sob]
Marco: My.. mother... and father... were both killed by Valuan soldiers while
they were trying to escape from this city! There's no way out! Trying
to get through the Grand Fortress... it's impossible! No one has ever
escaped from Valua! You're gonna die this time! I just know it!
Vyse: Your parents... I'm... I'm sorry to hear that, Marco. But, I have to go.
I don't have a choice. And every time I hear the word "impossible", it
makes me want to prove everyone wrong. A long time ago, a handful of
sailors took a small boat out into uncharted skies. They had no idea what
they would find... Monsters... a maelstrom... then end of the world...
It was because these sailors challenged the unknown, that new land were
discovered.
[Marco stops sobbing]
Vyse: If we challenge ourselves, and never give up, our own horizons will
broaden... in our hearts, and in our minds... I need to push myself
everyday, I have to know what I can accomplish... I never give up, and so
far, nothing has ever stopped me.
Marco: But... but... Vyse...
Vyse: Don't worry about me. I believe that we'll make it out... I will find a
way... That's what's keeping me going. I'm going to prove that it's not
impossible to escape. Impossible is just a word to let people feel good
about themselves when they quit.
Marco: .....
[Marco wipes some tears from his eyes with his arm]
Marco: Vyse... Do you think I could ever be a sailor? If I would ever... sail
the skies?
Vyse: Heh, of course! You've got what it takes... I'll be waiting for you...
out there!
Marco: Thank you...
[Vyse goes through the hole and leaves for Upper City]
================================= END SCENE ==================================
============================= 7.13 SAVING FINA ===============================
[The scene starts in the Imperial Palace. We see Galcian and Fina(who has her
hands tied together) standing in front of the Empress herself. The Prince of
Valua is standing beside her]
Imperial Guard: Lord Galcian brings good news, Your Majesty.
Galcian: Indeed I do... Your Highness... I am sure you will be pleased.
As you have requested, my forces have captured a Silvite.
Ruler of the Valuan Empire Empress Teodora I: Ahhh... Excellent work, Galcian.
You have yet to fail me.
[Teodora looks at Fina]
Teodora: So, this is what a Silvite looks like. Hmm... such a beautiful girl.
Her clothes are... interesting... a nice specimen...
Today we have taken another step closer to our main objective. Soon
the Valuan Empire shall rule the world.
Fina: ......
Teodora: You seem... sad, young one. Why do you not rejoice with us? You shall
witness our finest hour. You have the knowledge that we seek. You can
assist us. Hahaha... All who oppose us shall fall... Their islands
will be reduced to ash and dust. Anyone who stands in our way will be
destroyed! And you, young one, shall help us...
Prince of Valua Enrique: Mother... Ruling the world by force is not something
that I am sure I approve of. An Empire that doesn not
listen to the plight of its people is destined to fall
Teodora: Enrique, you still have much to learn. You cannot walk the path of an
emperor and concern yourself with the petty worries of the "people."
Enrique: But, Mother!
Teodora: Now now, Enrique... I am building an empire for you... Since you shall
inherit the throne when I pass on, you should pay more attention.
[Teodora looks over at Fina again]
Teodora: Well then, young lady! I know that there are 6 Moon Crystals and that
they have been scattered all over the world. I also know that he who
controls the Moon Crystals controls weapons of mass destruction.
I believe your people refer to them as... Gigas! When the Gigas are
ours, we shall rule the world!!! Now, young lady... You will tell me
where to find the Moon Crystals.
Fina: I will die before I tell you.
Teodora: What did you say!?
Fina: You do not understand how powerful the Gigas really are. The Gigas were
great weapons of destruction built by the Old World... they are more
powerful that you can imagine.
Teodora: And that is precisely why Valua must obtain those weapons. Since we
are the most powerful empire, we should have full control over them.
And once we have them, we shall rule the world!
Fina: No! Humans must never control the Moon Crystals and they Gigas ever
again! Power hungry dictators like you are the reason humans must never
control them!
Teodora: You dare to insult me?! The Empress of the Great Valuan Empire?! In
my own palace?!? Kill her! Kill her! Kill the little wench! Off with
her head!
Enrique: Mother! Think about what you are saying! You cannot kill her, she's
done nothing wrong!
Teodora: Are you saying that this girl is innocent, Enrique... even after she
insulted me so?! Kill her! Kill her now!
Fina: Please! You must believe me! The power of the Gigas is not to be
understimated!
Imperial Guard: Silence, wench! You shall pay for your insolence!
[A Valuan soldier hits Fina on the back of the head with his lance. She then
falls to the floor face down]
Fina: Ugh...
Messenger: Lord Galcian, I bring you urgent news! Someone has broken into the
Coliseum and freed the Blue Rogues!
Galcian: What?! I am on my way. Take the girl to the ship and bring her to the
Grand Fortress immediately.
Imperial Guard: Yes, Lord Galcian!
Galcian: Your Majesty, I request permission to deploy the Armada. I will take
the girl with me and she will guide me to the Moon Crystals.
Teodora: Very well, then! Use the power of the Armada and bring the Crystals to
me!
Galcian: Of course, Your Majesty. However, I have but one humble request...
I would like to request that a new addition be made to our highest
ranking officers... I would like to recommend my Vice Captain, Ramirez
for the position.
[Fina gasps when she hears Ramirez's name]
Teodora: Do as you wish. In return, I want you to give me your word that you
will bring me those Crystals!
Galcian: As you wish, Your Majesty.
Soldier[talking to Fina]: You heard the Admiral... Get up!
Fina: Ramirez?
[The scene nows hows Vyse and Aika running up some stairs in Upper City. They
stopped to look around. They keep looking until they see something]
Aika: Wow! Vyse, that huge vehicle over there must be the rail car.
Vyse: I think you're right, Aika. Looks like it can only ride on those rails.
I guess it would be hard to steal... Let me get a close look!
[Vyse uses his eyepatch too look the rail car a lot closer. He then notices
two Valuan Guards forcing Fina to board the rail car]
Vyse: Fina!
Aika: What are you talking about? I thought Fina was supposed to be at the
palace.
Vyse: That's what I though, but it looks like that rail car is going to the
Grand Fortress. If she gets taken into the fortress, we'll never be able
to get her out! We have to move.. now!
[The rail car gets turned on]
Vyse: It looks like the engines are starting... We'll never get down there in
time.
Aika: Vyse, what should we do?
[The car begins to move with Fina inside it]
Vyse: We've got to jump onto the roof!
Aika: What?! Isn't there a Plan B?
Vyse: Come on, Aika!
Aika: This shouldn't be too tough.
[Vyse and Aika jump on to the roof of the rail car. Vyse lands perfectly on
his two feets, but Aika falls face down on the roof. She gets up and she's
all dizzy from the blow. When she's about to fall from the rail car, Vyse
grabs her by one arm and saves her]
Vyse: Fina should be at the front of the rail car. Let's go!
[The scene now shows Galcian standing on the center of the Coliseum. He's
looking at what happened to the place when a guard suddenly comes running to
him]
Valuan Guard: Lord Galcian! We've just received a message from Central Station
in Upper City... They've spotted some Air Pirates snooping
around the rail cars.
Galcian: What? And the Air Pirates who escaped the execution... Are they still
free?
Valuan Guard: Yes, Lord Galcian. My humblest apologies...
Galcian: It matters not...
Valuan Guard: I'll summon the City Guards and sweep all of the rail cars. We'll
find them.
Galcian: That won't be necessary. We know where they are heading... they are
going to try to rescue the girl. What's the status of the
Grand Fortress gates?
Valuan Guard: They are currently open, sire. They aren't scheduled to close
for a while.
Galcian: Close the gates immediately. Place all ships in the bay on full alert.
Dispatch the Imperial Rail Car immediately. I shall deal with these
pirates myself.
Valuan Guard: Yes, Lord Galcian.
[We now see Vyse and Aika running through the roof of the rail car when
suddenly another rail car comes from behind and rams into the one they
are on. After the two cars are stuck together, Galcian comes out and boards
the one Aika and Vyse are on. He takes of his cape to reveal a large sword
that he's carrying]
Aika: Who's that? Vyse, there's something about this guy... I'm not sure what
it is, but I don't think we can take him.
Vyse: Yeah... And he looks really mad too! Aika, here's the plan... Run!!!
We have to get Fina before he catches us!
Aika: Yeah!
[Vyse and Aika start running away from Galcain who is slowly chasing them.
They finally get to Fina who's being guarded by to Valuan Soldiers looking all
sad. We all hope is lost for her, Vyse and Aika arrive to the spot where she's
in the train. She looks surprise at the arrival of both of them]
Fina: Vyse?!
Valuan Soldier: Who are you?!
Aika: Sorry we took so long, Fina! We're here to get you out!
Valuan Soldiers: Insolent pests! You'll have to get past us first!
Vyse: Bring it on!
(Battle)
[After the two guards are defeated, Vyse and Aika approach Fina and they
start untying her hands from her back]
Aika: I'm so glad you're safe, Fina! We were worried about you.
Fina: Vyse... Aika... Why did you... Why?
Vyse: Why do you think? We're here to save you!
Fina: You mean... you did all this... just for... me?
Aika: Aw, Fina... We're friends! We weren't going to let them take you from us.
Fina: Thank you both so much! Honestly, I... I was so scared... I was all alone
I was afraid they were going to hurt me. Oh, thank you... I'm... I'm so
grateful!
Vyse: Everything is okay now, Fina. Now, let's get out of here!
[Galcian appears with two guards]
Galcian[laughing]: I can't allow that.
Vyse: What?! He found us!
Galcian: I am Galcian, Lord of the Imperial Armada. You have caused us a great
deal of trouble, boy. What is your name?
Vyse: I'm Vyse of the Blue Rogues. I just thought you were the guy that cleaned
the rail cars.
Galcian: Ah... so you're the one who made a fool out of Alfonso. That girl is
worth nothing to you Air Pirates. Hand her over to me. I guarantee
that your lives, as well as that of the girl, will be spared. Is it
a deal?
*IF YOU CHOOSE: "Never!" *
Vyse: Never! I don't know what you want with her... But you're Valuans.
Whatever it is, it can't be good.
Galcian: Do you honestly think that after attacking the Valuan Armada you'll be
able to fly the skies freely?
Vyse: We're Air Pirates. We don't need your permission for anything...
If we see something we want, we take it.
Galcian: That's very dissapointing. I'm afraid you leave me no choice... I must
destroy you.
[A green object appears by the window of the rail car]
Vyse: The Little Jack!
[The Little Jack shoots a cannonball at the rail car destroying it in half.
Since Vyse is the the side where the engine is, his part still moves forward
leaving Galcian behind who's looking all serious. Aika cheers at the arrival
of Drachma. They board the Little Jack where Drachma and Dyne are waiting for
them]
Dyne: You were late, Vyse. We decided to come get you and from the looks of it,
we were just in time. Fina, are you alright?
Fina: Yes. Thank you very much. I'm very grateful that you've gone through so
much trouble to rescue me...
Aika: Relax Fina... We're all okay now... Save the mushy stuff for later...
Drachma: She is right. We can all be thankful after we've gotten out of Valua.
Timmus the Gunner: Captain, emergency! They're closing the gates!!!
Drachma: If the gate closes, we're all dead!
[The Little Jack gets hit by something]
Timmus the Gunner: We're under attack! Valuan ships, dead ahead! They're
blocking the entrance!
Drachma: We've got to act fast! We need to take out that blockade! Looks like
I'm going to be able to test out the Harpoon Cannon earlier than I
thought! All hands to battle stations!
(Ship Battle)
[The battle ends when the Little Jack destroy some Valuan Cruisers with a shot
from the Harpoon Cannon. The group is in the top deck and as always, Vyse is
at the helm]
Vyse: Looks like that was the last of them! Now we just need to get through
that gate!
[The Little Jack speeds up and goes directly for the exit of Valua. The wall
is closing really fast too]
Aika: Vyse! It's closing! Hurry!!!
Vyse: Come on!!! Come on, Little Jack!!!!!
[The Little Jack speeds up. It looks like they won't make it in time but just
as the gate closes, they go through it and they leave Valua for good. The
gates closes completely after they escaped unharmed.]
Vyse: Woohoo!!! We did it!!!
Aika: Alright! I knew you could do it Vyse! You're the greatest!
Dyne: You got us through there by the skins of our teeth. You had me worried
for a second there.
Vyse: We can finally say good-bye to Valua! Alright! Let's go back home to
Pirate Isle!
[The groups leaves to Pirate Isle. After that, we see Galcian still standing
on the broken rail car in the middle of nowhere]
================================= END SCENE ==================================
============================ 7.14 FINA'S MISSION =============================
[The scene begins with Fina thanking Vyse, Aika and Drachma on top of Lookout
Island at Pirate Isle]
Fina: Vyse... Aika... Captain Drachma...
I just wanted to tell you how much I... I...
Vyse: Heh... don't worry about it. The Valuans went through a lot of trouble
to capture you. We just like making them mad.
Aika: Vyse is just kidding, Fina. You're our friend now. But while we were
there, I did want to grab some more loot...
Vyse: What? Aika! You wanted to stay in Valua?! We barely made it out of there!
Aika: Hey! It's an Air Pirate's duty to liberate any treasure that can help the
needy.
[Vyse, Fina and Aika begn to laugh. After they finish laughing, Vyse gets all
serious again]
Vyse: Umm... Fina... there's something I want to ask you... what is this
mission that you're on? What are you looking for? And why is the Valuan
Empire after you? We might be able to help...
Fina: ..... Alright, I'll tell you...
I am a Silvite, a descendant of the Silver Civilizaton.
Aika: Silver Civilization?
Fina: Hundreds of generation ago... the world's population was didvided into
6 civilizations.
[The screen now shows a paiting of a beautiful valley covered completely in
grren grass. The sky is clear blue and the clouds are completely white. On the
middle of the picture, a really high tower that reached the skies stands.
A palace of some sorts can be seen in the horizon. Fina continues to narrate
her story]
Fina: One existed under each of the Moons in the sky...
Green, Red, Blue, Purple, Yellow and Silver. Each civilizaton harnessed
the power of the moon by learning how to use Moon Stones as a source of
energy. The entire world went through a technological revolution, but
technology advanced faster than the people wielding it. The leaders of
the civilizations became corrupt... and their ambition led them to war.
They used their technology to create weapons.
[The screen changes and it now shows a green, gigantic monster coming out the
ground. Fina continues to narrate her story]
Fina: These weapons were called "Gigas." They were gigantic living weapons that
were capable of destroying whole islands.
Aika: I heard about these Gigas before. There's a giant, and a dragon...
But I thought those were all tales parents told their children... I never
thought that they were real.
Fina: Oh, Aika, they were very real. When the Ancient Civilization went to war,
they unleashed the Gigas on each other. So many people died...
Then something happened... The Rains of Destruction fell... No one knows
exactly what caused it...
[The screen now shows thousands of Moons Stones falling from the sky like
meteorites destroying everything in their path. On the back, the forests are
burning. And like always, Fina is narrating]
Fina: Moon Stones fell from each of the Moons... They fell for what seemed like
an eternity. Thousands of Stones fell at a time... Like a rainstorm...
It was almost as if the Moons wanted to make sure that their powers would
never be misused again. Millions died in the Rains...
The stones battered the lands and leveled the cities... All of the
Ancient Civiliations were destroyed. Only a few survivors remained.
[The scene shows the group on Lookout Island again]
Fina: But even if the Rains of Destruction never happened, the Gigas would have
destroyed the world anyway. Now, there are people who are trying to
reawaken te Gigas.
Vyse: You mean... The Valuan Empire?
Fina: Yes, But to command the Gigas, it is necessary to find the Moon Crystals.
A Moon Crystal is a highly concentrated form of Moon Stone. The original
Moon Crystals used to control the Gigas are scattered throughout the
world. Valua is searching for those Crystals so they can reawaken the
Gigas!
Aika: And that's why the Valuan Empire kidnapped you... to find out where they
were hidden!
Fina: Yes. I was sent here to gather the Crystals before the Valuans could find
them and put them somewhere where they can never be used again.
... Vyse... Aika... I know I have caused you enough trouble, but I have
another favor to ask of you. I would like you to go with me. Help me
travel the world in search of the Crystals. Please... without my ship, I
can't do it... and if Valua gets the Crystals... I don't even want to
think what would happen...
*IF YOU CHOOSE: "Leave everything to us!" *
Vyse: Heh... leave everything to us! We'll go with you and find those Crystals!
Aika: Yeah, Vyse... I guess this is your chance to see what lies beyond the
sunset!
Vyse: You're right, Aika...
Fina: Thank you so much! If you two were to come with me, I would be so honored
[A squeaky noise is heard]
Aika: Huh? Vyse, what was that noise? Was that your stomach?
Fina: Oh... I'm sorry. It's okay, you can come out now.
[A small, gray fishlike creature comes out from Fina's hand]
Vyse: Huh?
Aika: Wh... what is that thing?! Where'd it come from?
Fina: It's been with me ever since I was a baby. It's from my homeland...
It can change it's shape... And it's usually shaped like a bracelet
around my arm.
Aika: Heh... actually, the thing is kind of cute. What's its name?
Fina: Its name is Cupil. Come, Cupil... say hello to everyone.
[Cupil says hello]
Aika: It's so cute! I'm very pleased to meet you, Cupil!
Vyse: Well, Fina, we've got a long journey ahead of us. We'll do our best to
help you get the Crystals.
Fina: Thank you... I'm so glad that you're helping me.
Aika: Now, the only problem left is Cap'n Dyne... I wonder if he'll let us go.
Vyse: What are you worried about? Even if he does say no, we'll just go anyway!
Alright! Once we're finished getting everything ready, we'll leave from
the underground port!
================================= END SCENE ==================================
=================== 7.15 THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ADVENTURE ====================
[The scene begins with Vyse, Aika, Fina and Drachma, some Air Pirates, Dyne
and Vyse's mother in the underground port. Dyne speaks up first.]
Dyne: What's wrong, Vyse? You're looking uncharacteristically grim.
Vyse: Dad... Actually, there's something that I have to tell you...
Dyne: Don't worry... I have a feeling that I already know what you're going to
say. I remember when I was your age... The feeling that I had to get away
from my own little island and see the rest of the world. But when a man
decides to step out onto his own path, he doesn't need to ask for his
parents' permission. From now on, you are my equal, son. A man who lives
by the skies. There is nothing more honorable than that...
Heh... You're late on almost every other occasion, but you sure aren't
wasting any time to try and get out on you own...
Vyse: Dad...
Dyne: Go on, get out of here, Vyse. Go make your mark in the world.
[Vyse talks to his mother]
Vyse's Mother: I hear that you've decided to leave. Your father's told me all
about it already. But, I know you well enough to figure that it
wouldn't be long before you'd yearn to travel the skies by
yourself.
Vyse: Mom...
Vyse's Mother: It's okay, dear. Everyone ultimately has to fly away from their
parent's nest. I knew it was just a matter of when. I knew this
day would be coming sometime. It's just... It's just that it
came a lot sooner than I expected... or hoped. So stand tall,
son. Go chase after those dreams that you'd always talked about.
And make sure you take care of Aika, too, okay?
[After saying their last goodbyes, the group board the Little Jack. They're
about to leave Pirate Isle but Fina has to say something first]
Fina: Thank you all so much for rescuing me from the Valuans. I hope that I
will be able to repay all of you, someday.
Dyne: Just worry about keeping those Moon Crystals out of the hands of the
Valuans. And Vyse, we're all counting on you too.
Vyse: Don't worry Dad. I won't let you down! Well... I guess we should get
going...
Aika: We'll be back soon! Bye Cap'n! Bye everyone!
Fina: Vyse... Aika... Are you sure you want to do this?
Vyse: Fina, there's no way we can turn this down. After what you told us about
the Gigas, I don't even want to think about what the Valuan Empire would
do if they got their hands on them. We're the only ones that can stop
them. And... well, to be completely honest... I've always wanted to sail
the world. And this is my chance... Moon Crystals, lost cities, strange
lands... I want to see them all with my own eyes! This is my chance to
find out what's really out there.
Aika: Fina, you couldn't stop us from going, even if you tried. This is the
kind of adventure that Air Pirates dream of. If we passed this up, we'd
regret it for the rest of our lives.
Fina: I understand. Thank you! Thank you all!
Vyse: Fina, do you have any ideas where the Crystals might be?
Fina: Well, according to the ancient legends, there should be a Moon Crystal
hidden in the lands under each of the moons. The closest one from here
are... hmm... the Yellow Moon of Valua... and the Red Moon of Nasr.
Dyne: Well, there's no chance of getting back into Valua right now. You should
probably wait a while before going back there... If you go East from here
you'll reach Nasr. With a normal ship, you'd probably never make it
through the stone reefs on the way... But, now that the Little Jack is
equipped with a Harpoon Cannon, you've got a pretty good chance of making
it through.
Vyse: Sounds like a plan. We're heading East to Nasr and we're going to get
that Red Moon Crystal.
Drachma: We've been standing round here long enough. let's get going.
Vyse: Well... Dad, I guess it's time to say goodbye.
Dyne: Remember everything I've taught you... Make us proud, son...
[The group and Drachma board the ship]
