Chapter 22 The Moon
つきのたみのやかた Lunarians' Hall

"Welcome! You have done well to come!"
Cecil: And you are…?
Old Man: I am Fusuya, who guards the sleep of the Lunarians…
Rosa: Lunarians?
Fusuya: Indeed. It was long, long ago… Life on a planet between Mars and Jupiter stood on the brink of extinction. The survivors escaped by ship to the Blue Planet…
Cecil: The Blue Planet…?
Fusuya: The land where you live. But its people had not yet evolved far enough, so the survivors created another moon and fell into a long sleep there…
Edge: So those are… the Lunarians.
Fusuya: But one among them hated the sleep! He thought to burn away everything that existed on the Blue Planet so his kind could dwell there.
Rydia: That's horrible…!
Fusuya: …I sealed him away. But during the long sleep, he strengthened his waves of malice! They made the wicked of your planet more wicked still… and set them gathering the Crystals.
Cecil: Then Golbeza was his puppet too!
Edge: Who is this guy!?
Fusuya: His name is Zemus…! The Crystals are our source of energy. Most likely he had them gathered to power the Dimensional Elevator in the Tower of Babil. With it, he means to lower the Giant of Babil onto your planet and burn everything away…!
Rosa: No…
Fusuya: But most Lunarians are not like him. We watch over the people of the Blue Planet, waiting for them to evolve enough to speak with us as equals… They all sleep on, dreaming of that day…
Cecil: What about the magic ship we came here on?
Fusuya: …Long ago, my younger brother Kluya built it and descended to the Blue Planet. Kluya yearned for your unknown world… It was then that the Devil's Road and the airship technology were brought there… And Kluya fell in love with a young woman of the Blue Planet, and two children were born… One of them… …is you.

Cecil: !! Me…? Then the voice I heard on Mount Ordeals…
Fusuya: That was your father… Kluya's spirit… I see… you look much like Kluya did when he was young…
Cecil: That voice was… Father…!
Fusuya: To foil Zemus's scheme, Kluya granted his power to you. Zemus must be stopped! For the Blue Planet, and for the Lunarians! Now… hurry to the Tower of Babil in Eblana!
Edge: The Tower of Babil!? But there's a barrier there…!
Fusuya: I, at least, should be able to enter! The Giant of Babil must not be lowered onto the Blue Planet! I shall go with you…! Lunarian Fusuya joined the party!
