1. The Red Wings
Illustrated chapter · Back to top
Soldier: See, even the captain…
Soldier: Even if it was an order…
Soldier: Stealing the Crystal from innocent people…
Soldier: We are the Red Wings, a proud airship fleet! And now we're robbing the weak and defenseless!
Cecil: That's enough!
Soldier: But Captain!
Soldier: How could we rob mages who didn't even resist!
Cecil: Listen up, all of you! The Crystal is absolutely essential for our Kingdom of Baron to prosper. His Majesty judged that the people of Mysidia know too much about the Crystal's secrets. We are the kingdom's airship fleet, the Red Wings of Baron! His Majesty's orders are absolute…
Soldier: Captain…
Soldier: Captain, monsters!
Cecil: All hands, battle stations!
Cecil: Everyone okay?
Soldiers: Yes, sir!
Soldier: But all these monsters lately…
Soldier: Yeah, far too many.
Cecil: Is something… about to happen?
Baron Castle
Beigan: Excellent, so you have obtained the Crystal.
Cecil: …But the people of Mysidia didn't resist at all…
Beigan: Whatever do you mean? Come along, His Majesty is waiting.
Beigan: Sir Cecil, please wait here a moment.
Beigan: Your Majesty… If I may be so bold, I fear that wretch Cecil seems to be losing faith in you.
King Baron: Truly!? Nothing escapes my Captain of the Royal Guard. Well done! But it matters not, so long as we get our hands on the Crystal. Bring Cecil before me.
Beigan: Yes, my liege.
Beigan: Sir Cecil, His Majesty summons you. Please proceed.
Handed over the Water Crystal.
Cecil: Your Majesty!
Cecil: Your Majesty, what is the meaning of all this? Everyone is losing faith in you!
King Baron: And you foremost among them?
Cecil: ! No, I would never…
King Baron: Did you think I knew nothing of this!? That someone of your standing should fail to trust me… Regrettably, I can no longer leave you in charge of the Red Wings! You are hereby relieved of your post as captain of the airship fleet!
King Baron: Your new charge is to hunt down an Eidolon! We have reports of a phantom beast, an Eidolon, haunting the land near the Valley of Mist. Slay the monster, then deliver this Bomb Ring to the village of Mist. You depart tomorrow morning!
Cain: Please wait!
Cain: Cecil would never…
King Baron: Cain. If this one worries you so, then go with him!
Cecil: Your Majesty!
King Baron: I have nothing more to say! Take the ring and begone!
Obtained the Bomb Ring.
Cecil: Sorry for dragging you into this, Cain…
Cain: Once we slay that Eidolon or whatever, His Majesty is sure to forgive you. You'll be reinstated to the Red Wings soon enough.
Cecil: …
Cain: Don't worry about it. Leave all the preparations to me, and rest up tonight.

Cain · upper right
Cain: What's wrong?
Cecil: I'm really sorry, Cain…
Cain: You're still going on about that? That's not like you at all.
Cecil: I mastered the dark sword as ordered by His Majesty. But that was supposed to be for protecting Baron, not for robbing innocent people.
Cain: Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure His Majesty has his reasons.
Cecil: I envy you, Cain…
Cain: My father was also a Dragon Knight. If I had mastered the dark sword, I probably would have advanced in rank too, but this path suits me better. Besides, I lost my father when I was little, but as long as I stay a Dragon Knight, I feel like he's always with me, you know…
Cecil: …
Cain: Heh. I rambled on a bit. That's unlike me. Anyway, don't overthink things. You won't be much competition if you do. I'll be the one to slay the Eidolon!
Cecil: I won't lose to you!
Cain: We start early tomorrow. Turn in early.

Rosa: Thank goodness you're safe. Your mission was so sudden, I was worried.
Cecil: Sure, we're safe… Hard to get so much as a scratch facing mages who didn't even resist…
On reaching the left of Baron Castle
Cid: So you're back, Cecil!
Cid: Rosa's been worried sick! Make her cry and you'll have me to answer to, ya hear? Now then, are my darlin' airships okay? Your men are too rough with 'em. Hey now, what's with the long face?
Cecil: Well, Cid, you see…
Cid: Whaa? Eidolon hunting? As if anyone but you could command the Red Wings! Bah, what's gotten into His Majesty? He's tellin' me to make a new model of airship, but… I don't want 'em made into murder machines! Folks in town are all wonderin' about it too…
Anyhoo, you be careful now, hear! You'll take out those Eidolons with one swipe of your dark sword! Me, I'm headin' home. My daughter's been makin' a fuss 'cause I haven't been back home lately!
Woman in red · upper left
I've changed your linens. I hear you leave tomorrow morning, sir… Please rest well tonight.
On reaching the upper left of Baron Castle
Cecil: His Majesty… what has happened to him? He was once a renowned knight, and a kind and strong man. He took in orphans like me and Cain and raised us as though we were his own children. Mysidia's Crystal… Is it something we need so badly as to steal it from villagers who didn't resist? To think we did such a thing, even under orders!
Rosa: What happened? One day you suddenly leave for Mysidia, and the next you're going Eidolon hunting… And you haven't been yourself since you came back.
Cecil: No, it's nothing…
Rosa: Then look at me.
Cecil: In Mysidia, I… stole the Crystal from innocent people! I'm a Dark Knight on the outside… with a heart to match…!
Rosa: …You're not that kind of person.
Cecil: I'm just a spineless Dark Knight who can't defy His Majesty…
Rosa: Cecil of the Red Wings would never whimper like that! Not the Cecil I love…
Rosa: You're going to Mist tomorrow, right? If anything should happen to you, I…
Cecil: No need to worry. Cain is coming with me…
Cecil: It's late… You should get some rest too.
Rosa: Be careful…!
Cecil: Thanks, Rosa… But I'm a Dark Knight. You and I…
Thus the Dark Knight Cecil, captain of the Kingdom of Baron's airship fleet, the "Red Wings," was stripped of his command. Together with Cain, captain of the Dragon Knights, he left Baron Castle for Mist, a frontier village in a valley thick with fog…
The airship, a vessel that soars across the heavens, had long been a dream of mankind…
But the airship's swift reach could become not merely a dream fulfilled, but even a tool of men's desires.
Through its airship fleet, the "Red Wings," the Kingdom of Baron became the strongest military nation.
Why then did Baron, already so mighty, seek the Crystal…? And why did so many monsters begin to appear in broad daylight…?
The Crystal, in silence, simply brimmed with its light…

Cecil: Cain?
Cain: Much as I may be indebted to His Majesty, I couldn't possibly bring dishonor to the Dragon Knight name.
Cecil: Then Cain, you too…
Cain: But Baron is the strongest military power in the world. Just the two of us acting tough won't accomplish anything. We have to let other countries know about this and enlist their aid. We need to get Rosa out, too!
Cecil: Thanks, Cain.
Cain: Not for your sake, though.

Old Man: My daughter Anna was taken in by a bard and has run off to Damcyan! An ominous air hangs over Damcyan!
Cecil: Then you must be the sage Tella!
Tella: Indeed, I am Tella! I grew worried and set out for Damcyan, but I've been held up by a giant monster in the Underground Lake ahead. The brute has tremendous power! I cannot slay it with my magic alone! But together with your dark sword, we might!
!? What's this! So this girl is a Summoner. She has considerable potential.
Cecil: We also need to go to Damcyan!
Tella: Then it's settled! To Damcyan, at once!

Tella: Asleep already, is she? She must have been exhausted. If I'm not mistaken, this girl is…
Cecil: A Summoner from… Mist.
Tella: She has great potential. With proper training, she should be able to master other magic as well. Ah, but what a sweet sleeping face… Just like Anna when she was little.
Cecil: She is your…
Tella: My only daughter. She ran off to Damcyan with a bard… all because I denied them my blessing…
Tella: What business have you in Damcyan?
Cecil: A friend of mine in Kaipo has come down with desert fever.
Tella: Ah, the Desert Light… Without that, even I can do nothing. So you're in a hurry too…
Cecil: What exactly is the monster in this cavern?
Tella: A dreadful brute with eight enormous legs. For the sake of Anna and your friend, we must defeat the beast first! I hope that ominous air I sense over Damcyan is just my imagination…

Cecil: Who on earth is Golbeza?
Gilbert: I don't know… He was clad in peculiar black armor… and his strength was inhuman…

Gilbert: Once they seized the Crystal, they set fires… My mother and father, struck down… and Anna… shielded me from arrows…

Gilbert: You're right… I am a weakling, just like you said! So I'm going to stay here with Anna forever! Nothing matters anymore!
Cecil: You're not the only one who's grieving! Doing that wouldn't please Anna at all! Besides, right now we need your help!
Gilbert: Me, help you?
Cecil: I'm Cecil. To save a friend of mine stricken with desert fever in Kaipo, I must have the Desert Light. And for that… I need your help!
Gilbert: My help…
Cecil: Right. For Rosa's sake… I beg you!
Gilbert: It sounds like this Rosa is someone dear to you… You mustn't… lose the one you love.
Gilbert: The Desert Light is made from secretions that the Antlion in the eastern cave gives off when it lays its eggs. We must cross some shallow water to reach the cave. There is a hovercraft in Damcyan that can cross the shallows. We should also be able to cross the shallows back to Kaipo.

Rosa: King Baron sent for him to command the Red Wings in your place. Ever since he arrived, the King has been acting more and more erratically… I'm sure Golbeza is manipulating the King to gather the Crystals. The Water Crystal of Mysidia, which you brought back. The Fire Crystal of Damcyan. The Wind Crystal of Fabul. And finally, the Earth Crystal of Troia…
Gilbert: The Fire Crystal is already in his hands…
Cecil: He's Gilbert, Prince of Damcyan. It's thanks to him that we were able to cure you. This girl is Rydia… of Mist.
Rydia: Are you okay?
Rosa: Thank you, Rydia and Gilbert. If Damcyan has already been attacked, then Fabul is next! We have no time to waste! -cough-, -cough-!
Cecil: Don't overdo it, Rosa. We'll go to Fabul!
Gilbert: But Mount Hobs, on the way to Fabul, is covered in thick ice…
Rosa: Surely a Summoner like you can cast a basic black spell like Fire— Ugh… -cough-!
Cecil: Rosa! You have to wait here after all!
Gilbert: Cecil… Rosa wants to be with you.
Cecil: …Okay, Rosa. We'll go together. It's already night… We'll leave tomorrow morning. For now, get a good night's rest.
Rosa: Cecil… Okay.

Gilbert: Anna! No, don't go!
Anna: Gilbert, have courage! You must not let Golbeza get the Crystals… You gave me your love. Now share that love with all people…

Monk: I am sincerely grateful to you for coming to my aid in my hour of need. I am Yang, the head monk of Fabul. We were in the midst of training here on Mount Hobs when we were attacked by a swarm of monsters, and everyone was wiped out except for me… Even though they were all such seasoned fighters…
Cecil: We're also on our way to Fabul.
Rosa: A man named Golbeza is using Baron to gather the Crystals…
Yang: Then Fabul's Wind Crystal too…!
Gilbert: Yes… Damcyan's Crystal has already been taken.
Cecil: They're after Fabul next.
Yang: …! What a calamity. Our main force of monks has been wiped out. Those at the castle are all still novices. If we're attacked now, we won't stand a chance!
Rosa: Those monsters were probably sent by Golbeza too.
Yang: To eliminate us and render Fabul defenseless!?
Cecil: Then he must already be heading for Fabul, with so few left to defend it! We'll help out as well! Hurry, to Fabul!
Yang: However, to drag all of you into this as well…
Cecil: This is our fight too!
Gilbert: I'm the Prince of Damcyan.
Cecil: Rosa and I are from Baron. And this girl… I was deceived by King Baron, and I…
Rydia: …
Yang: So you all have your own reasons… I am sincerely grateful! May I ask for your aid in battle?

King of Fabul: Truly!?
Yang: These people were good enough to come and warn us.
King of Fabul: And who are you people?
Cecil: There's no time. You must fortify your defenses at once!
King of Fabul: But you have the look of a Dark Knight of Baron. Whether I may trust you or not…
Yang: Your Majesty! These are people you can trust! They came to my aid when I was attacked…
Cecil: There's not a moment to lose!
Rosa: Please hurry!
Gilbert: It's been quite a while, Your Majesty.
King of Fabul: Ah, Prince Gilbert!
Gilbert: Damcyan has already been attacked and its Crystal stolen! I lost my father, my mother… even my beloved…! Do you intend to let Fabul suffer the same fate as Damcyan!?
King of Fabul: Forgive me! So it was true. But without our main force of monks… Would you lend us your strength as well?
(a yes/no question)
Yang: These are people of splendid skill! I would have them by my side on the front lines!
King of Fabul: If you so insist, then I will take a chance on you all! Ladies, you shall serve as healers.

Golbeza: I have no business with insects!
Rosa: Stop, Cain!
Cain: !
Cecil: Stay back, Rosa…!
Golbeza: Oh, is this woman so dear to you? In that case, allow me to keep her in my custody. I'd very much like to meet you again. She will serve as a token of that promise. Let's go, Cain!
Cain: You're lucky to be alive, Cecil!

Rydia: Get a grip, guys! I'm sure Rosa's fine. And we can just take the Crystal back, too!
Gilbert: …You're right!
Yang: Sir Cecil! Now it is our turn to lend you our strength. Let us rest and recover, and think of a way to rescue her.

Gilbert: We must rescue Rosa!
Cecil: In order to face Golbeza, we're going to need an airship… But only Baron can make them…
Yang: I wonder if there's any way we can sneak into Baron…
Cecil: Since Baron's main force is the Red Wings, its navy is relatively weak. If we're going to sneak in, we should do it by sea…!
Rydia: Then we'll need a ship.
Yang: In that case, first thing tomorrow morning I shall ask the King to prepare us a ship. We are indebted to you all. The King, too, should not hesitate to help.
Cecil: Please do…
Yang: …Just who was that Dragon Knight?
Cecil: His name is Cain, and he used to be my… best friend… We swore to leave Baron together, and yet…
Yang: I see…
Gilbert: …Anyway, let's get a good rest tonight…
Cecil: …
King of Fabul: …I see. Understood. Yang. You shall accompany them and lend them your strength.
Sir Cecil, I have no words to thank you enough. To think that even Lady Rosa would be captured… I shall have a ship readied at once.
Sir Cecil. Take this sword with you. It was carried by a Dark Knight who came to Fabul long ago.
It is the least I can do to thank you for fighting on behalf of Fabul. However, the dark sword is, after all, a sword of darkness…
It should prove useless against true evil. You must defeat Golbeza, without fail.
Obtained Deathbringer!
King of Fabul: As soon as you are ready, make your way to the east dock. A ship should be waiting for you there.
King of Fabul: Should all the Crystals fall into that menace's hands, the world would face an unprecedented crisis. We're counting on you!

Elder: You are the one from before… Just what have you come for this time?
Cecil: I am Cecil, formerly in command of the airship fleet. Back then, I lacked the courage to defy the King's orders…
Elder: Apologizing to me won't bring back those who have died.
Cecil: …
Elder: However… I can see a faint glimmer of radiance in you now, at odds with that form of yours. It might be worth listening to what you have to say.
Cecil: I'm now fighting someone named Golbeza, who is manipulating Baron. But my friend was captured, and on our way to rescue her, we were attacked by Leviathan, and my other friends were…
Elder: …Perhaps that too is an ordeal bestowed upon you. But so long as you rely on the dark sword, you cannot defeat true evil, and worse, you yourself could be stained with an evil heart at any moment. If you wish to fight with a good heart, then go to Mount Ordeals to the east. A powerful destiny is bound to be waiting for you there.
Cecil: But I must hurry and save my friend!
Elder: Someone dear to you, I take it? But you must not be hasty! It seems you bear the burden of a great destiny… First, you should try to ascend Mount Ordeals. You must replace that wicked sword with a sacred one. I hear that those who can accept the sacred light may become sacred knights… or Paladins… Many have gone to Mount Ordeals with these aspirations, but not a single one has returned. …What do you say, will you go and try?
Cecil: …Yes!
Elder: However, with your dark sword and by yourself, it would be hard going. I will assign mages to go with you. Palom! Porom!
Boy: So you're that Baron guy from before, eh? I've got no choice but to help out because of the old man's orders, so you'd better be grateful!
Cecil: These two?
Elder: Indeed. These are the twin mages, Palom and Porom. They're still in training, but they should be helpful. Though they are still young, I personally vouch for their talent.
Palom: You'd better be grateful that I, the great Palom, child prodigy of Mysidia, am gonna escort you!

Elder: Oh, just look at you!
Porom: As you can see!
Palom: I never thought he'd actually pull it off!
Cecil: What do you mean?
Elder: I felt bad, but I ordered these two to keep watch over you. Though it seems there was no need after all. Job well done, Palom and Porom!
Palom: Yup, that's pretty much the deal.
Porom: Sorry we hid that from you. But we had no choice.
Cecil: No, I deserved it. After all I'd done…
Elder: But you've overcome your past self and become a Paladin…! …!? That sword?
Cecil: It was granted to me at the summit.
Elder: My word! This inscription is identical to the legend passed down in Mysidia since antiquity!
Cecil: Legend?
One born of a dragon's mouth shall soar to highest heaven, hold darkness and light aloft,
and bring promise anew to the land of slumber.
The moon, veiled in light everlasting, shall bestow unto Mother Earth great bounty and mercy.
Cecil: …That light called me "son." What exactly is that light?
Elder: What the light on Mount Ordeals is… and what this legend means… even I do not know… Only that we people of Mysidia have been told for generations to keep this legend in our prayers. And to believe in the one who bears the sacred radiance… Perhaps you are the one, after all!
Tella: All that remains is to defeat Golbeza without delay!
Elder: Oh, Tella!
Tella: It's been a while.
Porom: We made his acquaintance on Mount Ordeals.
Palom: Gramps here got his hands on Meteor!
Elder: Meteor…! Are things so dire that even that spell has been unsealed…!?
Tella: It appears so. With this, I shall avenge Anna!
Elder: Anna was…?
Tella: Struck down by Golbeza! I'll defeat him myself with Meteor!
Elder: Tella. Fight with hatred and you will ruin yourself! What's more, Meteor is far too dangerous for you right now!
Tella: Even if it ruins me! I'll never forgive that scoundrel!!
Elder: I thought you would say that. You haven't changed since the old days.
Tella: Nor have you…
Elder: However, Sir Cecil has also become a Paladin. If the two of you were to join forces…!
Cecil: But to stand against Golbeza, we'll need to return to Baron and get an airship…
Elder: Very well… I shall unseal the Devil's Road! Now that you've become a Paladin, you should be able to travel along it! Go forth, to Baron! I shall enter the Tower of Prayer and continue to pray for you all… I'm counting on you…! Sir Cecil, Paladin!
Cecil: Yes!
Elder: Palom! Porom! Your duty is done!
Palom: We're not done yet! Elder, you told us to help this guy out, right?
Porom: Please grant us permission!
Elder: You two… If Mount Ordeals accepted you, perhaps this is your destiny as well… I cannot leave Mysidia. Sir Cecil, Tella… Take care of these two!
Cecil: But…
Palom: You know what we can do!
Porom: Precisely!
Tella: Fear not. You have me as well!
Cecil: All right… I'm counting on you!
Elder: Now, take the Devil's Road on the right side of town and head for Baron! From the Tower of Prayer above, I shall keep praying for you… no, for all living things! I'm counting on you…!

Porom: If you're going to put on an act, I'd appreciate a slightly better performance.

King Baron: Baron? Kukakakaka… Who's that? Oh, right, I remember now. The fool of a human who went on about never handing over his country. I was posing as him, wasn't I… Hyah hyah hyah!
Cecil: You…! What have you done with His Majesty!
King Baron: Wanna see him? Wanna see your king? I won't make a sorry mess of it like Scarmiglione. After all, he was such a weakling, it's a wonder he was ever made one of the Four Archfiends. Guh-heh-heh-heh-heh!

Cecil: Sorry.
Cid: What happened to Rosa!? She ran off, sayin' you were alive…
Cecil: She was kidnapped by Golbeza…
Cid: What a sorry sight, and you right there with her! But man, that Golbeza… Not only is he usin' my airships for awful things, but Rosa too!
Tella: That girl's in danger. Quickly, take us to this airship of yours!
Porom: Now, now… You're Master Cid, correct? This is Master Tella. He is a great sage.
Porom: This is Master Yang, head monk of Fabul. And I am Porom, an apprentice mage from Mysidia.
Palom: Hmph, a pair of old fossils!
Porom: That foul-mouthed one is my twin, Palom.
Palom: Heh, acting all goody-goody!
Yang: I am very pleased to make your acquaintance, sir. It's dangerous to remain here, so we must move swiftly.
Cid: Well now, you sure know your manners!
Cid: Somewhere nooo one would ever think to look! It's a little handiwork I rigged up in advance!
Tella: I told you, we've no time! Rosa's life is at stake!
Cid: Man oh man, what a nagging geezer! I get it already! Come on, it's this way!
"Kukakaka…"
"So you beat me, eh? But I can get rather lonely. Kukakaka… The terror of Cagnazzo of Water, dreadful even in death… savor every bit of it as you die! I'll be waiting for you in hell! Hee-heh-heh!"

Cecil: Just you wait…
Golbeza…!
Golbeza: So even Cagnazzo fell. It seems he's grown quite formidable…
Cain: About the one remaining Crystal…
Golbeza: I know… but that place is a bit troublesome.
Cain: Perhaps we could send Cecil to fetch it?
Golbeza: Send him…?
Cain: We have Rosa here. We could exchange her for the Crystal… Would that suit you?
Golbeza: I see… A fine idea. And that will be our chance to dispose of him, too…
Cain: Then I shall go and relay the message.
Rosa: Cain!
Cain: I'll show you that I'm better than your little Cecil.

Gilbert: Looks like you did it…
Cecil: Gilbert! It's all thanks to you.
Gilbert: No, not really…
Cid: But why did that song affect him?
Gilbert: A while ago, when I was wandering as a bard… I heard a song said to ward off evil faeries. So I thought that maybe…
Yang: And thanks to that, we were saved.
Gilbert: No, really… someone like me… Ugh…!
Gilbert: Tella…
Tella: Anna was happy, for she was loved by so brave a man as you…
Gilbert: Tella…
Tella: For now, think only of getting well. I swear to avenge Anna with my Meteor! And Gilbert… for you as well.
Gilbert: …Thank you.
Cecil: Gilbert, you are… a man of courage…!
Gilbert: Anna… Somehow I feel like I understand now…

Tower of Zot
Cecil: Cain!
Cid: Where'd you disappear to!?
Cain: Don't be so hasty… Lord Golbeza would like a word about a return favor.
Tella: Golbeza!
Golbeza: I am most grateful that you have fulfilled your end of the bargain…
Tella: Show yourself!
Golbeza: I understand your impatience, but I'd like you to accept a favor in return.
Yang: A favor?
Golbeza: I am on the top floor of this Tower of Zot with your dear Rosa. If you make it all the way up here, I shall do you the favor of exchanging Rosa's life for the Crystal.
Cecil: Golbeza, you monster!
Golbeza: If you don't come quickly, I cannot guarantee your precious Rosa's life… Now, climb up to me!

Golbeza: The Crystal comes first.
Cecil: Rosa had better be safe. Is she?
Golbeza: Of course she's safe. Now, give me the Crystal.
Cecil: Here it is!
Handed over the Earth Crystal!
Cecil: Give Rosa back!
Golbeza: Rosa? Whatever are you talking about?
Cecil: What!?
Cid: That wasn't the deal!
Tella: You're rotten to the core!
Golbeza: I have no business with a withered old man.
Tella: Perhaps not, but I have plenty with you!
Tella: Feel it…! Anna's pain!!
Battle dialogue
Golbeza: A mere decrepit old man like you…
…could never have the power to defeat me!
Tella: So the time has come to use Meteor…
Cecil: Don't! If you do that…
Yang: Madness! It is you who will not last!
Tella: I'm exchanging every last bit of my life for MP…
…to defeat… you!!
Golbeza: Ugh! Im-impossible… Meteor…!
Golbeza: Even so… the Crystal is mine… Cain, withdraw!
Cain: …
Golbeza: So that Meteor broke my spell! So be it. I have no further use for you. I will repay this debt without fail!
Cecil: I won't let you get away, Golbeza!
Golbeza: Gah… do not underestimate me!
Golbeza: …!?
Cecil: Ugh… Why… won't you finish me off…
Golbeza: You…
Cecil: ?
Golbeza: Just who are you… Ugh… ughh!
Cecil: …?
Golbeza: We… we'll settle this another time…!
Yang: Sir Cecil!
Cid: Are you all right!?
Cecil: Y-yeah… It seems Meteor took its toll on him after all… But Tella!
Tella: I couldn't defeat him…
Cid: You shouldn't be talkin'!
Tella: This… may well be my punishment for fighting while consumed by hatred… Avenge Anna… I beg… of—!
Cid: Open your eyes! You damned old codger!!
Tella: …

Where's Rosa!?
Cain: She's up above! There's no time!
Rosa: Cecil!
Rosa: Cain!?
Cecil: He's come back to his senses…
Cain: Forgive me, Rosa… It wasn't just that I was being controlled! I wanted you… to be by my side!
Cid: C'mon! This ain't the time for lollygagging! It's dangerous here!
Cecil: Let's go, Cain!
Cain: Cecil…
Cecil: We need your power as a Dragon Knight! You'll fight Golbeza with us, won't you?
Cain: …Thanks, Cecil… Rosa…!
White Mage Rosa and Dragon Knight Cain joined the party!
On reaching the upper left of Tower of Zot
"Ho-ho-hohoho…"
"To think you managed to wound Lord Golbeza… it seems we underestimated you all!"
Cain: It's Barbariccia of Wind, one of Golbeza's Four Archfiends!
Barbariccia: Cain. It seems you betrayed us too. And with all that power of yours!
Cain: Don't call it a betrayal. Call it coming back to my senses, Barbariccia!
Barbariccia: How dare you address me so casually! Had I known it would come to this, I would have eliminated you and Rosa both. But the one who wielded Meteor is no more. Now that you're all reunited, I'll bury you together, the best of friends to the end!
Cain: Heh. You're not the only one who can fight in the air!
Battle dialogue
It's no use… we can't see her head-on because of the wind!
We'll have to attack her with Jump!
Barbariccia: Cain, you…! Even if you defeat me… the last of the Four Archfiends remains! Together with this Tower of Zot… you shall vanish!!
Rosa: Hold on to me!
Rosa: Teleport!
Baron Castle
Cecil: This is…
Rosa: Your room in Baron.
Cid: Should be safe now, 'cause that phony king is toast!
Cain: Cecil… There's something I must tell you…
Cid: What's up?
Cain: It's about the Crystals…
Cecil: The Earth Crystal we borrowed from Troia was stolen too… which means he's gathered all the Crystals now.
Cain: No, he's only gathered four of them so far!
Rosa: Aren't there only four in all…?
Cid: I've heard rumors of it!
Rosa: You don't mean…
Cain: Yes… the Dark Crystals!
Cid: The four Crystals of this world are, you might say, only the surface Crystals…
Yang: Then there are Crystals beneath the surface…
Cecil: The Dark Crystals!
Cain: Right. Which means that Golbeza has taken only half the Crystals!
Cid: I've only heard rumors of the Dark Crystals, but not where they would be…
Cain: Golbeza has located them, though.
Cecil: We have to hurry! So where are they?
Cain: Beneath the surface, quite literally… the Underworld!
Yang: The Underworld!?
Cid: We'll have to dig a hole or somethin'!
Cain: Anyway, he said that once he gathers all the Crystals, those of the surface and those beneath… that is, of Light and Darkness, the way to the moon will open…
Cecil: The way to the moon?
Cain: I don't really know what that means… but apparently this is the key. I'll give it to you.
Obtained the Magma Stone.
Cecil: What's this?
Cain: Apparently the way to the Underworld will open if you hold this up somewhere.
Yang: Somewhere?
Rosa: Where exactly would that be?
Cain: I don't know…
Cid: What's there to dwell on? We've got the Enterprise! We can zoom around the world in the blink of an eye!
Cecil: But we left it at the Tower of Zot…
Cid: Don't go sellin' me short, now! I told you she's the latest model! She came riiight back to Baron by remote control!
Yang: It is decided, then.
Rosa: Cid, we can always count on you!
Cid: Ain't it the truth? Hah! Well if that's what we're doin', let's head out first thing tomorrow! Get some shut-eye, then we're off to find the entrance to the Underworld!
Cecil: But… I wonder why Golbeza didn't finish me off back there…
Rosa: What's wrong?
Cecil: No, it's nothing… Let's rest…

Dwarf King: So you are unharmed.
Cecil: And you are?
Dwarf King: I am Giott, King of the Dwarves and ruler of this Underworld.
Cecil: What of the Dark Crystals!?
Giott: So that is indeed what brought you here. We thought you were with the others, but they were giving you quite a shelling. We very nearly shot you down ourselves.
Cain: Are the Underworld's Crystals still safe?
Giott: Sadly, two of the four have fallen into their hands.
Yang: So we were too late after all…
Giott: But the Crystal in this castle is still safe. The Dwarven tank corps drove them back, barely.
Rosa: So those were the tanks fighting the airships just now.
Giott: Oh, so you call those things airships? To think the world above has such things… Even our proud tank corps is a little hard-pressed when attacked from the sky… I know! Could you cover us with this airship of yours, as you call it?
Cid: Well, the thing is, what with that shelling and the crash landing, she's gone and got herself a bit busted.
Giott: If you need anything for repairs, shall I have it prepared?
Cid: I can patch her up for now, but the hull won't stand the heat of the Underworld's lava. We've got to go back to the surface and plate her in mythril! Right, I'll make a quick run up there!
Cecil: Cid!
Cid: Bah, I'll be right back! I'll come back better than ever, so be good and wait for me!
Cid left the party.
Cecil: King Giott, where exactly is this castle's Crystal?
Giott: Truth be told, it's in a hidden room behind this very throne! This way, as long as I'm alive, it's safe!

Golbeza: I am much obliged to you for your assistance the other day. But the one who wielded Meteor is no more. So, by way of returning the favor from that day, I shall tell you why I have been gathering the Crystals. Eight Crystals in all, light and dark… together, they are the key to reawakening the Tower of Babil, the sealed path to the moon. It is said the moon holds a power beyond our human understanding. This Crystal makes seven… and thus only one remains. And for this, too, I have you to thank. It would be most discourteous of me not to return this favor as well. Accept it! This is my final gift to you!

Cecil: The Eidolon Realm?
Rydia: It's the world where the Eidolons live. They became my friends there. I can't use white magic anymore, but to make up for it, my summoning and black magic got stronger! But time flows differently in the Eidolon Realm than here…
Rosa: So that's how you grew up?
Cain: Cecil, who is this girl?
Cecil: Rydia, from the village of Mist.
Cain: That child!?
Yang: Well, this is a surprise…

Cecil: I'm sorry… The Crystal is in Golbeza's hands…
Giott: It can't be helped. Now we must guard the last Crystal with our lives.
Rosa: Where is the last Crystal?
Giott: In the Sealed Cave, to the southwest. Golbeza has gone there, but do not be alarmed. Without the key to its seal, none can enter that cave. And so, I have a favor to ask of you!
Cecil: It's our fault the Crystal was taken! If there's any way we can help…
Giott: With Golbeza bound for the Sealed Cave, now is our chance. Will you infiltrate the Tower of Babil and take back the seven Crystals?
Cain: The Tower of Babil?
Yang: You would have us infiltrate the enemy's own stronghold!?
Giott: Have no fear! Our tank corps will draw the enemy off! While they are busy, I want you to recapture the Crystals! With Golbeza gone, it's now or never!
Cain: What'll we do?
Rydia: It's the enemy's base, isn't it?
Rosa: It certainly is dangerous.
Yang: Yet one cannot take the tiger's cub without entering its den…
Cain: With Golbeza away, we won't get another chance.
Cecil: All right…
Cecil: We'll try!
King Giott: I am counting on you! Beneath this castle lies the entrance to a secret passage! Go as soon as you are ready! I pray fortune is with you in battle!

Edge: Heh… Don't take me for some pampered little prince. Eblana's royal line has handed down the secret arts of the ninja for generations…! I'm a cut or two above… you chumps!
Rydia: Stop it! I don't want anyone else to die!

Edge: Quit spouting all that crap!!
Rubicante: I'm fond of those with courage, such as yourself. …But a human swayed by such emotions can never attain complete strength. Not for all eternity…
Edge: Then I'll show you… this 'human' thing…

Rydia: We're going to stop it!

Elder: The magic ship is a vessel from the moon! Mysidia's records say that apart from its switch for normal flight, it holds something called the Crystal of Flight. Speak to it, they say, and it will carry you to the moon and back!

On reaching the lower of 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!

Rydia: So Golbeza went to the moon with Fusuya to defeat Zemus.
Cain: Golbeza… Cecil's brother…
Cain: …Then I, too, must pay this Zemus back, whoever he is!
