| Ch. 2 - 23 - Donau the Flower City                                     DNF1 |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

[Everyone enters the verdant city.]

 Girl: "Wel, Welcome to Donau the Flower City."

 Shana: "Thank you."

 Girl: "Thank god! You don't look like bandits! Your clothes are so filthy
       that at first I thought you might be!"

 Albert: "We really are covered in dust. It's natural the girl would be
         mistaken."

 Shana: "Don't stare at me like that!"

 Dart: "It's not that bad."

 Rose: "We don't have time for fooling around like that."

 Haschel: "Are you jealous?"

 Rose: "I am just concerned about the Dragoon Spirit."

[Elsewhere in town, bandits close in on a person...]
 
 ????: "Noooooooo!! What are you going to do!?"

 Bandit 1: "We are deciding now! Hee Hee Hee.... As I expected. You are one of
           the Sacred Sisters of Mille Seseau aren't ya!? You have such a pretty
           face, don't you!?"

 Bandit 2: "Great! Selling her will make us rich!"

 Bandit 3: "Don't make a noise and we won't harm you!!"

 ????: "Some, somebody help!!!"

[Lloyd walks out from a room.]

 ????: "Oh, Gentleman over there!! P, please...."

 Bandit 1: "Just go away! Or you'll be sorry!"

 Bandit 2: "Are you gonna get in our way!?"

 Lloyd: "Please continue,"

 Bandit 1: "What!?"

 Lloyd: "If you don't mind dying."

 Bandit 1: "YOU are the one to die!! Argh!!"

[Lloyd rebuffs the bandit.]

 Bandit 2: "Wh, What did you do!?"

 Lloyd: "Shall I continue?"

 Bandit 2 & 3: "Ahhh!!"

[They all flee.]

 ????: "P, Please wait!! I don't know who you are, but thank you very much for
       helping me!"

 Lloyd: "It's nothing."

 ????: "Oh, please, let me at least have your name!!"

 Lloyd: "It's Lloyd."

 Wink the Third Sacred Sister: "My, my name is Wink! I am a Sacred Sister of
                               Mille Seseau!! Oh, Lloyd."

[Lloyd's leaves and the allies enter a woman's house.]

 Kate: "Oh why, did you go Lynn? We are having a weddingsoon. It's impossible to
       have a talk with the Gehrichs. Who...who are you!?"

 Dart: "Don't worry. We are not bandits."

 Kate: "Really?"

 Shana: "There is something wrong isn't there?"

 Albert: "We might be able to be of some help. Tell us."

 Kate: "Okay. It all started this morning. When I finished my errands and came
       home, Lynn was gone. In his letter.... It says he is going to persuade
       the gang to pull themselves out of Donau. I'm supposed to wait for him at
       home."

 Dart: "He left a letter?"

 Kate: "I have an idea!! If I show this letter to the Mayor, he might do
       something to help! The Mayor is Lynn's father!"

 Dart: "I see. Let's bring this to the Mayor. You have to wait for Lynn here."

 Kate: "Oh, thank you!" [Acquired Letter from Lynn]

[Dart brings his crew to the mayor's.]

 Butler: "You cannot meet the Mayor because he is busy. I'm sorry, but please
         come back some other time."

 Dart: "Can you take a look at this letter?"

 Butler: "Th, this is.... P, Please come in!! Mayor! A horrible thing has
         happened!! It's about Mr. Lynn!!"

 Mayor of Donau: "!! What kind of man would venture to face the Gehrich Gang
                 himself?"

 Butler: "I didn't know Mr. Lynn was that consumed with...."

 Mayor of Donau: "It was my fault for not realizing it!!"

 Butler: "I bet Miss Kate is very stressed."

 Mayor of Donau: "You must go. As the Mayor, I don't want you to be involved in
                 this."

 Dart: "We are already involved. The gang took something very important away
       from me. Where do they come from?"

 Mayor of Donau: "They are from the Valley of Corrupted Gravity, but we don't
                 know anything about them other than that."

 Butler: "That place is very dangerous. They say nobody can come back once they
         enter the valley."
 
 Mayor of Donau: "Butler!! Don't say that!! Lynn...Lynn went there!!"

 Butler: "Now, we have to gather the people of Donau to form a rescue team."

 Mayor of Donau: "And then what will happen to the city? The gang might take
                 over the city."

 Dart: "Let us do it."

 Shana: "You were planning to go anyawy, weren't you?"

 Mayor of Donau: "Oh...it is encouraging to hear that warriors like you are
                 going!! Now, I can face those punks in our city with courage!!

[Back outside, a commotion is taking place.]

 Bandit: "Hey you, alky! How dare you touch my butt!"

 ????: "Don't be silly! Why would I touch the butt of a kid like you?"

[It's a girl talking with three bandits.]

 Bandit: "What did you say!?"

 ????: "I could forgive you if you'd admit that I am too sexy to ignore and
       apologize!"

 Bandit 2: "Huh? Is this kid dreaming or what?"

 ????: "I can't stand it anymore!!

[She kicks all of their behinds.]

 Bandit: "Ouch...! You!! You don't know who we are!?"

 ????: "I know."

 Bandit: "You think you can get away with it!?"

 ????: "Let me see.... I think so!"

 Bandit: "Darn! You'll pay for this!!"

[They all flee.]
 
 ????: "I won't be paying you!!"

 Dart: "Doesn't she have a better way to say goodbye?"

 ????: "Are you one of the Gehrich Gang? Do you want me to smash you too!?"

 Haschel: "Platinum hair.... The same as Lloyd. The rest is different."

 ????: "Are you maybe one of my groupies? Hmm, don't seem like it though. You
       guys...are some strange group of people. What's your name?"

 Dart: "It's Dart."

 Meru: "Mine's Meru!! I'm the best dancer in Donau!!"

 Rose: "We don't have time for playing with a kid."

 Albert: "I agree. We can't waste any time if we are going to help Lynn."

 Shana: "Sorry. But we gotta get going."

 Meru: "You said Lynn!? Then you guys are going to rescue Lynn!!"

 Dart: "How did you find out about that?"

 Meru: "'Cuz I heard it from Kate. But people in this city are all chickens,
       right? So I was gonna make a raid on their hideout! Then those bastards
       gave me a hard time! I guess they didn't tak eme seriously 'cuz I'm
       alone. You know what!! I'm gonna go with you guys!! Hey you don't need to
       make such a face!!"

 Rose: "Just leave her alone. Let's go."

 Meru: "Hold on!! Do you guys know where the hideout is?"

 Dart: "It's somewhere in the Valley of Corrupted Gravity, isn't it?"

 Meru: "Wow, how naive!! You make it sound easy, but you cannot go through such
       a mell of a hess kind a place without a person like me whose totally
       knowledgeable and totally pretty! Besides, you need the Permission of
       the King, just to enter the valley! Don't ya know that!?"

 Shana: "What are we going to do Dart? This girl is serious."

 Dart: R1 -> We cannot take you.
       R2 -> Oh well, you can come.

       R1: "We cannot take you."

           Meru: "Why is that!?"

           Dart: "It's too dangerous for you."

           Meru: "Don't treat me like a kid!! It's not fair! I wanna go with
                 you guys!! I wanna rescue Lynn!!"

       R2: [see below.]

 Dart: "Oh well, you can come."

 Rose: "Are you serious?"

 Dart: "We can trust her intentions to rescue Lynn. Besides we don't
       know the place. We might need a guide."

 Meru: "Right!! He's completely right!! Now, let's go! Beautiful dancer Meru,
       and friends, form a posse for dealing with the Gehrich Gang!!"

| Ch. 2 - 24 - Twin Castle at Fletz II                                   TCF2 |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

[Everyone arrives after a trip through the Barrens.]

 Albert: "We need the permission of the Tiberoan King to enter the Valley of
         Corrupted Gravity.:

 Dart: "Have you met him?"

 Albert: "I think I met him several times when I was little."

 Dart: "If the king remembers you, it'll be quick."

 Meru: "That's our king! Dignity, huh?"

 Albert: "I am not going to reveal my identity. I am not traveling as the King
         of Serdio. I am traveling as your companion, and Lavitz's friend."

[At the castle gate...]

 Meru: "Hey! Can you get out of our way!?"

 Giant Gate Keeper: "No way. No strangers can get through here."

 Meru: "Never!?"

 Giant Gate Keeper: "Never."

 Meru: "That big man is blocking our way. I'm gonna take care of that."

[She runs into him.]

 Meru: "Ouch!"

 Giant Gate Keeper: "I, I didn't do anything. You bumped into me by yourself.
                    You can't enter the castle by doing that."

 Meru: "Hey big belly! Why can't you let us in!? Hey Al! You are a king!! Can
       you do something about it!?"

 Albert: ("Shhh! That's secret!")

 Meru: "Aw! Come on! Dart! Do something!"

 Dart: "There is no way you can let us in?

 Giant Gate Keeper: "There are lots of bandits walking around. I was told to
                    never let anybody in."

 Shana: "Can we at least send a message to the King?"

 Giant Gate Keeper: "You are...pretty...."

 Shana: "Wh, What did you say?"

 Giant Gate Keeper: "Oops, I am on duty. I cannot let you in. I cannot let
                    strangers in."

 Meru: "What are we gonna do?"

 Dart: R1 -> (Should we break through?)
       R2 -> (Let's retreat now.)

       R1: ("Should we break through?")

           Rose: ("We are not criminals.")

           Meru: "We are breaking through! I'm gonna whack that belly!"

           Dart: "Stop it! I was kidding!"

           Meru: "Yeh!!"

           [Meru goes flying.]

           Giant Gate Keeper: "What are you doing?"

           Meru: "Ouch!"

           Giant Gate Keeper: "I told you so."

           [He blows his whistle.]

           Giant Gate Keeper: "Don't treat them rough. Just kick them out of
                              town."

           [They get shown the door.]

           Dart: "It's no good. We have to think of some other way."

       R2: ("Let's retreat now.")

           Haschel: ("It's a sober judgement.")

           Giant Gate Keeper: "Oh! Finally you are leaving! Come back if you
                              can find someone to vouch for you."

           Albert: "Nello the Green Planner. Do you think he knows somebody
                   in the royal family?"

           Haschel: "How about Kaffi!?"

           Dart: "Let's go back downtown okay?"

[Everyone crashes at the item shop.]

 Fester: "Hmmm... It's a little expensive... If I curtail food... Oh, Dart. Are
         you looking for something?"

 Dart: "No, I am not."

 Fester: "Oh, you look troubled. I would like to say I can help you, but I am a
         little busy now. It will be over soon. I need some materials on stars
         for my research. I have to look in a couple of more places. I have to
         go now. When I finish my errand, I'll be available. Ask me whatever you
         want."

[Dart follows him to the castle entrance.]

 Fester: "Oh boy. We run into each other again. Was your problem solved yet?"
 
 Dart: "Not yet. I guess, you are the only person we can ask, Fester."

 Fester: "I see. Fine. I have finished my errand. You can come to my house and
         talk."

[Back at Fester's digs...]

 Fester: "Gehrich Gang, I see. They must have taken one of your most important
         possessions, if you are thinking of venturing directly into their
         hideout."

 Dart: "It's not just a memento. It means more than that to me."

 Meru: "We're gonna rescue Lynn, too!"

 Fester: "I understand. Shall we go to the castle? I can take care of it. I
         have a side business in addition to being an astronomer that lets me
         freely enter the castle."

 Meru: "What are you doin' Fester?"

 Dart: R1 -> He is from royalty.
       R2 -> He is a governor.

       R1: "He is from royalty."

           Meru: "Wow!!"

           Fester: "No, I am not. I think it's Mr. Albet who is....from the
                   class of royalty rather than me."

           Albert: "No, no, I don't think so! Anyway, aren't you the governor of
                   Princess Lisa, Mr. Fester?"

           Fester: "Yes I am. You can enter the castle by mentioning my name."

       R2: "He is a governor."

           Fester: "Yes I am. You can enter the castle by mentioning my name."

           Meru: "Oh. Can't you answer some other way than that? That's boring."

           Dart: "You, you think so?"

[The town bell rings.]

 Fester: "It's time to go. Let's head to the Twin Castle. Follow me."

[With Fester, the party gets an audience with King Zior.]

 Fester: "I am here, Your Majesty."

 King Zior: "Oh, Fester! Please take care of my dear Princess Lisa for today!
            By the way, I think I have some problem with my eyes. I see many
            Festers."

 Fester: "King Zior... There is only one of me. These people are my friends,
         Your Majesty."

 King Zior: "Oh, indeed there is only one Fester! And, what is their request?"

 Albert: "We are here to requrest permission to enter the Valley of Corrupted
         Gravity."

 King Zior: "Hmm... Fester...I think I've heard of the 'Valley of Corrupted
            Gravity'... Was it my imagination?"

 Fester: "King Zior... Your ears are fine too. These people need to talk to the
         Gehrich Gang so they would like to go to the Valley of Corrupted
         Gravity."

 King Zior: "Oh, you too! Well, the other day, a young man named Lynn came to
            me for the same reason. It seems being a daredevil is trendy
            nowadays."

 Dart: "We are not going there for a picnic."

 King Zior: "You understand all the risks. Fine. Servant! Bring the pass for
            them!" [Acquired Pass for the Valley of Corrupted Gravity] "Be
            careful!"

 Dart: "I appreciate this Your Majesty."

 King Zior: "It is late already. Why don't you relax in the castle."

[Everyone rests in the castle.]

 Fester: "I am going back to work. Princess Lisa's studies are going very well
         by herself."

[As the party tries to leave...]

 Lady's Maid Libria: "Excuse me, Your Majesty Albert. I am Libria, the Lady's
                     maid for Princess Lisa. Princess Lisa had me call you and
                     your company."

 Albert: "...Princess Lisa knew of our visit."

 Lady's Maid Libria: "She speaks with the stars and knows the future. Astrology
                     shows her the way. This way please."

 Dart: "What is going on?"

 Albert: "We will find out when we meet Princess Lisa."

[Up at the princess's room...]

 Lisa: "Welcome, Albert, the King of Serdio. I am Lisa, the younger sister of
       Emille. I have invited you here because I have a favor to ask of you."

 Meru: "Hey wait a minute! How does she know he's a king?"

 Dart: "Albert was talking about it a moment ago, wasn't he? Princess Lisa found
       out about it through astrology."

 Haschel: "Hold there! What the heck is astrology?"

 Shana: "It is the telling of a person's fortune from the location of the stars.

 Lisa: *giggle*.... "You have such amusing friends."

 Dart: "Please continue."

 Lisa: "It is about my sister Emille."

 Albert: "What has happened to the princess? I cannot believe that's her normal
         self...."

 Lisa: "Well, it started a half year ago. Back then, my sister Emille was very
       king, and my...or everyone in the country admired her. It all started
       when the two of us went horseback riding. Suddenly, my sister Emille's
       horse bucked and ran away to the forest."

 Shana: "What about Princess Emille?"

 Lisa: "It seemed that my sister lost consciousness, and couldn't control the
       horse. I chased her with my vassals. My sister was on the ground in the
       forest. Fortunately, she didn't have any injuries. Everybody felt
       profound relief. However, when my sister Emille came to, she was a 
       completely different person. Everyone says it is because she hit herself
       on her head, however, something more than her language and attitude was
       wrong. It ws as if she was a different person..."

 Albert: "Does anybody doubt the change? How about King Zior?"

 Lisa: "No, instead he was happy to see my sister Emille become so active... I
       heard you are heading to the Valley of Corrupted Gravity. And I have a
       favor to ask. I would like you to find out about the relationship between
       my sister Emille and the Gehrich Gang."

 Dart: "The relationship between Princess Emille and the Gehrich?"

 Lisa: "Tiberoa appears to be peaceful, however, we are having a serious
       problem. It is infested with bandits."

 Meru: "Donau is totally awful now!"

 Lisa: "I know. However, it used to be different. Yes, until a half year ago."

 Haschel: "It was the same time Princess Emille began acting strange."

 Lisa: "Astrology also says there is some kind of relationship between my sister
       and the Gehrichs. And one more thing... The stars told me 'Never hand
       over the Moon'. My sister will celebrate her 20th birthday soon. At the
       ceremony, the Tiberoan national treasure, the Moon Dagger will be passed
       down to my sister Emille. I assume the 'Moon' refers to that."

 Albert: "The second divine moon object."

 Dart: "It is linked with Lloyd."

 Lisa: "I have to find out the truth before the ceremony. About the relationship
       between my sister Emille and the Gehrich Gang. Would you please look into
       this for me?"

 Dart: R1 -> We will.
       R2 -> ...

       R1: "We will. We have no reason not to because our original intention
           was to pursue the Gehrich Gang."

       R2: "..."

           Albert: "What are you hesitating about?"

           Shana: "You are thinking about Lloyd aren't you?"

           Dart: "I know there is no reason to say no. But I'm worried if I can
                 fight with him without having a Dragoon Spirit...?"

           Haschel: "You...since when have you become such a wimp? Or...maybe
                    you've grown too accustomed to using the power?"

           Dart: "I understand...Princess Lisa."

 Lisa: "Thank you. I appreciate it."

 Voice: "The dinner will be ready soon Your Highness." 

 Lisa: "Oh, is it already that late? Oh, I forgot about Fester! I left him in
       my room! I am expecting you there."

 Lady's Maid Libria: "King Zior also said to invite everyone. When you are ready
                     please let me know. I will take you to the dining room."

 Meru: "I was totally right about coming with you Dart!! I was expecting these
       things to happen!!"

 Haschel: "Right!? I am looking forward to it! I wonder what I can feast on
          there!"

[Everyone begins their dinner with the King.]

 King Zior: "Please make yourself at home! Haa Haa Haa! Isn't she a great eater!
            It seems when girls become 20 years old they develop quite an
            appetite! Oh, Fester? Would you introduce our guests to Emille?"

 Fester: "Yes, Your Majesty."

 Emille: "Oh, I didn't know you were here, Fester. Are you still wasting time
         on useless things? Those things with moons or stars?"

 Fester: "L, let me introduce my friends, Your Highness! This..."

 Emille: "You and you. What's your name?"

 Dart: "I"m Dart."

 Albert: "I am Albert. It is a pleasure to meet you."

 Emille: "You are cute guys. I like you."

 Fester: "I am glad to hear that. And these..."

 Emille: "I didn't ask you about the others."

 King Zior: "Oh, please don't be insulted. Emille is a bit shy."

 Emille: "I'm not shy! I don't like them. That's all! Hey!! Bring me more food
         will ya!!"

 Lisa: "Please enjoy your meal. I assume you are leaving early tomorrow morning?

 Emille: "Where are you going?"

 King Zior: "Well, they are saying that they want to go to the Valley of
            Corrupted Gravity. They understand the risk so I have granted them
            permission."

 Emille: "Huh! Stupid guys!"

 King Zior: "Come on! Enjoy yourself! Let yourself go tonight!"

[Later on, after the dinner, everyone lounges by the balcony.]

 Albert: "Can people change that much from only the shock of falling off a
         horse?"

 Haschel: "I can produce the same impact with my fist."

 Shana: "It won't work!"

 Meru: "Then with my hammer!"

 Dart: "It won't work either."

 Lisa: "Everyone, it is getting late. Please stay at the castle tonight."

 Albert: "Thank you for your concern."

 Lisa: "It is fine. It is me asking you the favor. Have a good night."

 Lady's Maid Libria: "This way please. I will show you the way to your bedroom."

[Over at the guest room...]

 Shana: *sigh* "You don't like such a formal feast, do you Dart? Aren't you
        tired?"

 Dart: "I would rather practice with my sword."

 Meru: "I didn't have enoguh to eat! Princess Emille stole my portion!"

 Haschel: "Me neither. And I was looking forward to it."

 Albert: "I understand Princess Lisa's hardship. But, Princess Emille might
         lead us to Lloyd. The Moon Dagger is our guide."

 Dart: "Everything leads to the Gehrich."

 Shana: "It all started with the Dragoon Spirit."

 Dart: "We have to get it back quick or it'll be too risky."

 Rose: "You shouldn't have let it be taken to start with, then."

 Haschel: "You are harsh as always. There are some other ways to say that. Why
          don't you show a little smile at least?"

 Rose: "I don't remember...how to smile. Good night."

 Shana: "I'm getting sleepy too."

 Albert: "I'll get some sleep too."

 Dart: "Good night, Shana."

 Haschel: "Being with you young people reminds me of Claire."

 Meru: "What's she like?"

 Haschel: "She had a strong will. She suffered by herself, decided things by
          herself."

 Meru: "Same here!"

 Haschel: "Call me a fond parent, but she looked like her beautiful mother.
          She was a strong fighter, but her heart was too sweet. It's the
          complete opposite of Meru."

 Meru: "I am a strong fighter too!"

 Dart: "That's not the point."

 Haschel: "I only taught her how to use her fists, but I wish I could see her
          in a wedding dress."

 Meru: "You can see me in a wedding dress!! I'll be totally beautiful in that!
       Don't you think?"

 Dart: R1 -> Yes, I think so.
       R2 -> I don't know.

       R1: "Yes, I think so."

           Meru: "Right!? Happy sleeping time!"

       R2: "I don't know."

           Haschel: "I don't know either. Mature does not have a mature charm."

           Meru: "Hey hey! Boring! I'm gonna go to bed!!"

 Haschel: "I'll get some sleep too."

[The next morning everyone leaves for the Valley.]

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

[After being let in, the party surveys the odd, fractured, floating landscape]

 Meru: "Oh! It's not bad at all! I was expecting to have some fun!"

 Dart: "!! Meru, watch out!!"

[A rock bounds upward and almost crushes Meru.]

 Meru: "Oh my god!!"

 Rose: "It still has the backwash from the Dragon Campaign. The collision of
       the magic power of the Dragoons and Winglies can distort nature quite
       a bit. I don't think you're gonna have 'fun' from now on."

 Meru: "I'm not just following you guys for that! Let's go guys! We gotta find
       the Gehrichs!

[After going through a bit...]

 Dart: "!!"

 Rose: "What a welcome we got.

 Shana: "Oh, look!"

 Dart: "Virage!!"

 Meru: "Huh? What the heck is that?"

 Rose: "What is worse is it has the complete form...."

 Meru: "Guys! I'm asking you what is that!"

 Dart: "It might be the real cuase of the distortion of the valley."

 Meru: "Wow! That's scary."

 Dart: "Shana?"

 Shana: "Here it comes again. I hear the voice, again. Don't go! It's too
        dangerous to go!"

 Meru: "Yes, we gotta go. We're not gonna make it to the Gehrichs without
       going over this thingamajig. What are you looking at!? You guys don't
       trust me!?"

 Dart: "Is there no way but to advance?

 Shana: "I can't let you go! If we advance we will have to fight again!"

 Meru: "Hey, nothing can be done without meeting the Gehrichs, right? What
       about Lynn, Dart's memento, and this Lloyd that you are looking for."

 Dart: "Worrying won't help. Besides, it might not start to move this time."

[It starts to move.]

 Shana: "Everybody run!!

[The Virage almost falls over the edge, but turns towards Shana.]

 Dart: "Shana!!

[Light comes out of Shana and pushes Virage off the cliff.]

 Rose: "Shana! What on earth are you...to Virage?

 Shana: "I don't know... I don't know anything!!"

 Dart: "There is no more Virage!!"

 Shana: "Da-rt. It's okay now.

 Rose: (The power that can awake the sleep of 11,000 years.... Is that rancor
        against us? The rancor against Dragoons awakening the Virage!? Or....
        is that something to do with Shana?)

 Dart: (Shana....)

---

 Shana: "After you came back, Dart, a lot of things started to happen. But we
        have overcome everything, and we will continue. Because I am not alone
        now. Everybody is with me and, I have you...Dart. You make me strong.
        I can do it! I can leave any time!"

---

 Haschel: "Shana has changed. She has obtained more strength."

 Dart: "I agree."

 Haschel: "I don't know what is happening to Shana, but she is trying to solve
          that alone. She has become a woman."

 Dart: "I guess so."

 Haschel: "It's not the time to talk about this but.... It's time for you to
          change."

 Dart: "Me?"

 Haschel: "It's too hard on Shana if you continue to treat her like a mere
          baby sister forever. Doesn't matter. Your Dragoon Spirit is waiting.
          We have to think about going.

---

 Albert: "We were saved by Shana. But it seems that this is not that simple
         for her. The existence of Dragoons and the existence of Virages should
         have ended 11,000 years ago. But they were brought to life around us.
         I think we have to go forward to find out more about this."

---

 Rose: "There must be something wrong with Shana, and she must definitely see
       it. Everybody knows that."

---

 Meru: "Thanks for my guiding you, it was totally thrilling wasn't it!? Now we
       can go straight to the Gehrich Gang! We can go rescue Lynn!"

[After talking to everyone...]

 Dart: "Let's go everybody! The Gehrichs will be just ahead!"

[At a large gate...]

 Dart: "I sense the enemy's presence."

[Arrows come his way.]

 Dart: "!!"

 Gehrich Gang B: "I don't know what you want, and how did you manage to get
                 all the way here!?"

 Gehrich Gang D: "We should play with them a little!!"

 Gehrich Gang C: "Yo men!! Don't kill'em!! That's what our boss said!! But...."

 Gehrich Gang A: "Why don't we stomp them till they hate being alive!! Haa Haa
                 Haa! Shoot'em!!

[Dart tries to escape further in, but a door shuts.]

 Gehrich Gang A: "You thought it would be that easy, huh!? Shoot'em!!"

[They try to leave again, but enemies block their way.]

 Gangster B: "Hee Hee Hee!! Where are you goin'!?"

[After missing their strikes awhile...]

 Gehrich Gang A: "Darn!! Those nimble rats!!"

 Gehrich Gang B: "Yo, brother!! Take care of them will ya!!"

 Gangster A: "Yeah! I got'em!! It's been a while. I'm aching to get'em!!"

 Dart: "Let us meet with your boss!! We have to talk!!"

 Gangster A: "There will be no 'talkin'! You've already ruined our territory!"

 Haschel: "!! That pose, it must be from the Rouge School!"

 Gangster A: "What!? How do you know about that!?"

 Haschel: "That's my question! How did you find out about the Rouge School!?"

 Gangster A: "Humph!! Who cares!! If you really wanna laern about it, tussle
             with me!"

[They all get defeated.]

 Bandit 1: "R, Run!!"

 Bandit 2: "Yeek!!"

 Haschel: "The Rouge School of Martial Arts is a tradition found only in my
          village. All the people who use the Rouge style from outside of my
          village must have a connection there. Do you know a woman fighter
          called Claire?"

 Gangster: "I, I don't know any such woman! I learned it from my boss, Gehrich!

 Haschel: "Gehrich...."

 Gangster: "My boss used to study it seriously, but was kicked out 20 years
           ago. Then he became a bandit!"

 Haschel: "Kicked out.... Now I know!! That Gehrich!! He must be the man who
          was once my disciple!!"

 Dart: "He is over there, right?"

 Gangster: "Y, yeah! But! You cannot defeat my boss! My boss is ten times as
           strong as me!!"

 Haschel: "It's my fist that decides if I can defeat him or not!!"

[The gangster flees.]

 Haschel: "We're on our way."

 Dart: "What are you doing?"

 Haschel: "I'll show you what the real Rouge School is like. YAAAAAAAA!!
          YAA!!!!"

[A single punch demolishes the huge barrier to Gehrich.]

 Haschel: "Shall we?"

[Continuing on a ways...]

 Albert: "It seems obvious there are bandits hiding."

 Dart: "Let's start looking here."

 Shana: "What's wrong?"

 Haschel: "I think I did too much. My back hurts. Don't worry. I'll be all
          right if I rest a little."

 Meru: "Men! You should've thought about your age! Go ahead, I'll take care of
       him."

 Haschel: "Hm. You will? I think I can wait here by myself...."

 Meru: "No way! We don't know when they will come back!"

 Dart: "We gotta leave them, then. We'll be back if something happens."

[Dart and his crew leave Meru and Haschel to wait.]

 Meru: "If they come back, I'll destroy them! Be good, Haschel. Ah...."

[Haschel smacked her and knocked her out.]

 Haschel: "Sorry about that."

[He runs off on his own into Gehrich's lair.]

 Dart: "I guess there are only Rock Fireflies here. Meru!! What happened!?"

 Meru: "Ouch... Um... Something bumped into me and... Oh boy? Where is Haschel?

 Dart: "Did he go by himself?"

[In Gehrich's chamber...]

 Mappi: "Hee hee hee!! I cannot stop laughing! Boss! They came all the way
        here! I guess that pebble I took was super important."

 Gehrich: "There are too many people who don't care about their lives. The
          snotnose from Donau too."

 Mappi: "Let's just kill that kid! I don't care that he's the son of the Mayor!
        I got that woman with us now! Now is a good chance, cuz the woman is in
        control of the palace.... It'll be a piece of cake to take over this
        country...."

 Gehrich: "My fist doesn't desire that kind of thing. I just want to live free.
          If she wants the power, I'll give it to her."

 Mappi: "Boss!! You're gonna be taken advantage of, being a wimp like that!!"

 Haschel: "Gehrich, you haven't changed a bit."

 Mappi: "Who are you!?"

 Haschel: "Shut up, you small fry."

 Mappi: "What did you say!? Boss? Is something wrong?"

 Gehrich: "M, Master...."

 Mappi: "Master of the Rouge School?"

 Haschel: "Head of the bandits? How low you have fallen. I was right to kick
          you out."

 Gehrich: "Yes!! You were right!! Thanks to you I obtained freedom. I am not
          the person you remember!!"

 Haschel: "Martial arts is your heart. When you hit, your fist aches, and your
          heart aches. Except, it seems your heart has forgotten the ache."

 Gehrich: "...."

 Mappi: "Shut up!! I'll shut you up!!"

[Dart slaps Mappi away from Haschel.]

 Mappi: "!!"

 Dart: "Have I kept you waiting!?"

 Meru: "It's not fair leaving me like that!!"

 Haschel: "You...."

 Gehrich: "Then why don't you remind me of your so-called aching heart!!"

[The party defeats Mappi & Gehrich.]

 Mappi: "I'll smash you!!"

[The room shakes, and part of a statue falls towards Haschel.]

 Gehrich: "Please run!! Master!!"

 Albert: "It's hopeless!!"

[All of a sudden, Kongol catches the debris and throws it to the wayside.]

 Kongol: "Whhhoooooaaaaahhhhh!!!"

 Dart: "Kongol!?"

 Haschel: "Gehrich.... Now I seem to be helping you remember the ache in your
          heart with my fist."

 Dart: "Will he make it?"

 Haschel: "Barely, at least for now. But if the Giganto over there hadn't
          saved us, he would be completely dead by now...and all of us too."

 Dart: "Kongol, why are you here? And, why did you save us?"

 Rose: "It's a strange way to get revenge on us. What's going on in your mind?"

 Kongol: "You enemy no more. Here Holy place of Gigantos. Me survivor."

 Shana: "What about the other Gigantos?"

 Kongol: "Human killed us. They stole Giganto's treasure. Human thinks other
         species can die. Human selfish creature."

 Albert: "That was the reason why you joined with the human's war?"

 Kongol: "It's for Emperor Doel. Me still small and ran. He saved Kongol. He
         fought against bad people. Kongol comes with you. So Kongol is here.
         Emperor Doel say he make world where every species equal. World needs
         strong leader. Whether you can be leader, Kongol will watch to the
         end. Giganto's sadness should not be repeated...."

 Rose: "There is no such world where 'equal' exists. What we have is killing
       and being killed. That's it."

 Dart: "Wait! I have my own objectives. I am just continuing my journey towards
       them. I don't think I make a good 'leader'."

 Kongol: "You defeat Emperor Doel. Strong Strong Power. Stronger than Emperor
         Doel. Kongol wants to see where the power goes."

 Meru: "Sounds good doesn't it? Cuz more people makes us feel more secure.
       Besides.... I understand how he feels to be attracted to you, Dart.
       There must be something wherever you go. I still dunno what it is
       but...I wanna be with you and do something. Don't you guys feel that
       way?"

 Dart: "...Okay. We are friends now."

 Kongol: "...Friend. It sounds good."

 Meru: "We did it!"

 Rose: "You have forgotten the most important thing."

 Meru: "Come on! We gotta find Lynn!"

 Shana: "The Dragoon Spirit too!

 Kongol: "What you are looking for may be down there. You push the thing up
         here."

 Dart: "Is this it?"

[A button on the throne shows a room below it.]

 Gehrich: "Ugh...!!"

 Haschel: "Gehrich, you have come around."

 Gehrich: "I'm glad...to receive your fist, Master...."

 Haschel: "Shut up. Talking makes you die."

 Gehrich: "I gotta tell you...this or...I'll die as a real fool.... It's about
          the Princess Emille in the Castle.... She's...a fake.... That woman
          was switched.... Ugh...!!"

 Haschel: "Don't say anything!"

 Gehrich: "Ugh...!! The real one is hidden in...the castle......."

[Gehrich dies, and Haschel carries him.]

 Haschel: "I'll catch up to you later. I have to entomb him."

[Down in the treasury...]

 Meru: "Lynn!! Where are you!?"

 Lynn: "Meru!! Are you here to rescue me!?"

 Meru: "Of course! Kate't totally worried about ya! Oh no? I'm letting you out
       now!!"

 Albert: "This opens it. If your brawn doesn't work, you should use your brain.

 Lynn: "Meru! Thanks!! Do you know these people?"

 Meru: "These are my pals! We are traveling together for a variety of reasons!"

 Lynn: "You came all the way to such a dangerous place.... What great people!!
       Thank you!! People's courage hasn't dried up yet!"

 Dart: "You showed it yourself."

 Meru: "But, why did you come alone?! I had lots of things to say to the gang
       too!"

 Lynn: "I wanted to solve this by myself. Besides, I thought I might be able
       to talk to Gehrich if he hadn't changed. But something had changed.
       Probably, the person who joined him a half year ago changed Gehrich."

 Albert: "And that person is now assuming the form of Princess Emille. We need
         to go back to the castle quickly."

 Rose: "That's after we find the stolen Dragoon Spirit."

 Lynn: "Any stolen goods should be around here. They were throwing all the 
       stolen items in here."

 Shana: "Now, let's split up and look for it."

 Dart: "I got it!!"

 Meru: "Wow!!"

 Shana: "It seems happy to meet you again." [Acquired Red-Eye Dragoon Spirit]

 Dart: "Now let's go back to Fletz and see Princess Lisa and tell her
       everything!"

[Back upstairs...]

 Kongol: "Did you find thing?"

 Haschel: "It seems you found both Lynn and the Dragoon Spirit."

[Back at The Barrens...]

 Meru: "Hey! We'll be in Donau soon! Go home quick to her, you handsome man!
       Kate's worrying!"

 Lynn: "Dart, I cannot thank you enough. But I have to say it, thank you. Now
       Donau is saved."

 Dart: "It's just the beginning. The Mayor must be taking action now, in
       response to your courage, Lynn."

 Meru: "Finally. That Mayor is taking action."

 Dart: "Thank you for your guidance, Meru."

 Meru: "What are you talking about? It's not over yet."

 Dart: "What?"

 Meru: "Dart's journey won't be easy. What you guys do is not normal. Monsters
       like Virage appear, Dragoons, Gigantos. I thought they only existed in
       fairy tales. I can't explain it, but I think there'll be a lot of things
       I can help you with. So, why don't we go to Fletz now? We can't
       procrastinate like this, right!?"

 Dart: "It'll continue to be like a traveling three-ring circus."

 Meru: "All right!!"

 Lynn: "I'm going."
 
 Dart: "Say hello to Kate."

 Lynn: "Please come to our wedding! I'm having it tomorrow if it's possible.
       Bon voyage!!"

[Everyone hotfoots it to Fletz.]

| Ch. 2 - 27 - Twin Castle at Fletz (III)                                TCF3 |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

[Everyone arrives in Fletz as the 20th-birthday celebration takes place.]

 Dart: "That sound, it can't be."

 Albert: "It seems the ceremony for Princess Emille's coming of age celebration
         has already started."

 Meru: "We just found out that Princess Emille is a fake."

 Shana: "It doesn't necessarily mean that the Moon Dagger has already been
        passed on."

 Dart: "Let's go!"

[Everyone scoots into the palace.]

 Giant Gate Keeper: "Bad people! Coming in without permission. Just kidding.
                    I excuse you, because today is such a happy day."

 Dart: "When did it start?"

 Giant Gate Keeper: "A moment ago. But just asking doesn't mean you have an
                    invitation. It's so packed you couldn't fit a penny in.
                    Look."

[A weird guard is up top.]

 Giant Gate Keeper: "She suddenly got a lot of hanger-ons. There are so many
                    new faces that I have never seen befpre. amd according to
                    rumor, they used to be bandits. See, bad attitude, right?
                    They call themselves knights, but nobody can say anything
                    because it's Princess Emille. Oh!! Don't tell anybody about
                    this! And I'll let you in.

[The guy leaves.]

 Bandit Knight A: "Who the hell are you? They're busy with an important
                  ceremony. Don't even think about bothering them."

 Dart: "They are not decent knights..."

 Bandit Knight A: "Can't you see our armor!? We are the authentic Knights of
                  Tiberoa!"

 Dart: "Is Princess Emille in there?"

 Bandit Knight A: "Whoa! You can't go in there. It's not a place for commoners
                  like you. Cuz it's the birthday of our princess! Do you
                  really think you can get away with making a scene like that!?

 Dart: "It's special today.


 Bandit Knight B: "Are, are you gonna...make an enemy of all of Tiberoa!?"

 Albert: ("Seems like bluffing is working.")

 Shana: "Can you send a message to Princess Lisa?"

 Bandit Knight A: "She's not here! And it's the birthday of her own sis!! I
                  guess she is keeping herself cooped up in her room!"

 Dart: "I'll be back. Then I'm going to get past you."

[Up in the Star Tower, where Princess Lisa awaits...]

 Lisa: "I have been waiting for you, everyone. I am ready. Please tell me the
       truth..."

 Dart: "The Princess Emille attending the ceremony is a fake. A woman who is
       helping the bandits made the switch a half year ago."

 Albert: "The star of Princess Lisa has shown the truth."

 Lisa: "Oh thank god... It is impossible for my sister Emille to have such an
       attitude. Now, where is my true sister, Emille!?"

 Albert: "It seems she is confined somewhere in this castle."

 Lisa: "Confined...somewhere in here?"

 Haschel: "It was the last words of a dying man... We can trust him."

 Dart: "It all started out at the time of a horseback ride a half year ago...
       By taking advantage of the confusion, the mysterious woman switched
       herself with Princess Emille, and took over Tiberoa with the cooperation
       of bandits..."

 Albert: "It's an amazing plot."

 Rose: "The finale was to be the Coming of Age ceremony when the Moon Dagger
       was passed down..."

 Dart: "Princess Lisa! We have to find Princess Emille or we cannot stop the
       ceremony!"

 Shana: "Is it possible to use astrology to find Princess Emille!?"

 Lisa: "Let me try."

[Lisa uses a power in her hands that glows radiantly.]
 
 Lisa: "... All the stars are refusing to tell their story... As if a mist is
       covering the night sky."

 Dart: "Then we just have to search every nook and cranny..."

 Lisa: "Let me come with you. When I am with you, you may be able to avoid some
       trouble."

[Back in the main hall...]

 Bandit Knight: "Oops! Princess Lisa!! Are you already feeling better... Hee...

 Lisa: "Shall I go in?"

 Bandit Knight: "We cannot..."

 Dart: "Why is that?"

 Bandit Knight: "We were told that nobody, not even Princess Lisa, can come in
                til the Moon Dagger is passed on..."

[The party infiltrates the Moon Tower's summit.]

 Bandit Knight: "If you wanna talk to Princess Emille, go to the Chamber of
                the Sun! Oh, Pr, Princess Lisa...!? How are you feeling...?"

 Lisa: "I feel much better. I have to go into my sister Emille's room. Can I
       come in?"

 Shana: "It's far away from the bottom of the tower."

 Rose: "Screams won't be heard down there... Why don't we settle this here?"

 Bandit Knight: "Damn it!!"

[They flee.]

 Lisa: "Shall we go? If the real sister Emille is in this castle, she must be
       somewhere in this room."

[Emille's room looks normal, but...]

 Lisa: "It is awful..."

 Dart: "Somebody looted the place..."

 Albert: "That makes this room even more suspicious. We might find something
         here to help us find Princess Emille...."

 Kongol: "Kongol go outside, watch."

 Meru: "Kongol is too big for this room. I feel sorry for him. I'm gonna go
       wait with Kongol!"

 Haschel: "I'm going too. There are too many people in this room."

 Dart: "Let's split up and search."

[Dart inspects the painting of Emille.]

 Dart: "It is a portrait of Princess Emille. Wow!!"

[Everyone gets sucked inside.]

 Haschel: "What was that noise!?"

 Meru: "There's nobody here!

[In some weird quasidimensional space...]

 Dart: "Where are we...? What on earth has happened!?"

 Rose: "It seems a Magical space was created in the painting. It seems
       peculiar..."

 Dart: "Is this 'magic'!?"

 Voice: "Dart! Where are you!?"

 Dart: "We are in the painting!!"

 Voice: "Haschel! They must be talking about this!"

 Albert: "Don't touch the painting! It seems to be linked to the world over
         here!"

 Voice: "I got it!

 Dart: "Look!!"

[The real Emille is right nearby.]

 Lisa: "Emille!! Sister Emille!!"

 Dart: "It is too dangerous to go!!"

 Albert: "Oh... She is Princess Emille..."

 Rose: "It is linked with a different dimension... It is too dangerous to
       jump over."

 Albert: "She is right in front of us.... How can we?"

[Dart inspects a weird white light on the wall, making a bridge.]

 Dart: "We can cross now!!"

 Albert: "Princess Emille!"

 Lisa: "Sister! Sister!! Sister Emille!! Please wake up!! I cannot wake her!"

 Albert: "Let me do it! Princess Emille!! Wake up!! Wake up at once or
         something irrevocable will happen to Tiberoa!!"

 Emille: "Ah... Ahh..."

 Lisa: "Oh Emille!!"

[The spell's broken.]

 Emille: "Lisa... And you...? Where...am I?"
 
 Lisa: "You have been sleeping for the past six months since we went for a
       horseback ride, sister."

 Emille: "A half year? I was sleeping...the half year since the horseback
         ride... What about the Coming of Age ceremony!? Yes...what about
         the Moon Dagger!?"

 Dart: "It is about to be passed over to another person!"

 Emille: "Can you explain that to me? About this other person and you?"

[Dart does.]

 Emille: "It seems I've troubled you a lot due to my absence. Let us go to the
         Chamber of the Sun. We have to let people know the truth."

[They all hurry to the Chamber of the Sun.]

 Bandit Knight: "Oops!! It's Princess E, Emille...!?"

 Emille: "Did I make it in time for the ceremony?"

 Bandit Knight: "Ye, Yes!!"

 Emille: "Shall we go?"

[In the throne room...]

 King Zior: "You've been filled with 20 years of experience since you came into
            this world. You have reached the age that deserves the succession
            of the Moon Dagger as an heir to the throne of Tiberoa. Never 
            forget the blessings of the Sun, Moon and Stars. Anybody!! Are
            there any objections!? I assume this silence to be the approval of
            the succession."

 Dart: "Wait!!"

 Emille: "I have an objection to the succession!"

 King Zior: "Oh my god!? There are two Emilles!! !!"

[The fake Emille steals the Moon Dagger.]

 King Zior: "The Moon Dagger! What is going on!?"

 Dart: "King Zior! That girl is a fake!"

 Emille: "I have been put into a sleep for the last half year. During that
         time, it seems this person was making a variety of social missteps."

 Lisa: "Father! That woman was going to take over Tiberoa, by forming a
       conspiracy with the Gehrich Gang!"

 King Zior: "Oh my god!?"

 Fake Princess Emille: "Huh!! I guess you found out about everything!! Don't
                       ya think it's too late? I got this in my hand."

 Dart: "Look around yourself."

 Fake Princess Emille: "You think I'm cornered, huh?"

 Dart: "Who are you?"

 Fake Princess Emille: "I guess I cannot run in this stuffy dress. This will
                       be a treat! Let me show ya my true self!!"

 Dart: "!!"

 Lenus: "Surprised, huh? This is the true self of Miss Lenus!"

 Dart: "Princess Emille!! Please leave the room with the King and Princess
       Lisa!! The Gehrich Gang has fallen apart! Give us the Moon Dagger!"

 Albert: "The only chance you have is to give up."

 Lenus: "A girl in love doesn't know the meaning of the words 'give up'! I
        have managed to get this for my love. I won't give this up so easily."

 Rose: "I'm sorry but you don't have time to be in love anymore. Because you
       will die here."

 Lenus: "Interesting! Why don't you try!?"

 Dart: "What the heck is on her back!?"

[Lenus gets trounced.]

 Lenus: "You are not bad, I guess...."

 Albert: "Give us the Moon Dagger. Don't waste your time on this meaningless
         battle."

 Haschel: "Gehrich is already dead."

 Lenus: "Gehrich!? I didn't care about the man from the beginning! I told ya!?
        I need the Moon Dagger for my love!"

 Dart: "Admit your defeat. There is no way to escape."

 Lenus: "No way to escape, huh!? Hey you over there! What do you think of
        that!?"

 Meru: "..."

 Lenus: "Whatever! See for yourself! Is there no way to escape?!"

[She jumps over the railing and...flies away!?]

 Lenus: "Bye now!!"

 Dart: "Wait!!"

 Albert: "Oh no... She is a Wingly!?"

 Rose: "The species that dominated the bygone world... She's a survivor."

 King Zior: "'People of magic who run across the sky with wings'... Was she
            here to take it back from Humans?"

[Later on...]

 King Zior: "You are the King of Serdio, Albert. Why did you take such a risk?"

 Albert: "It might be self-gratification. However, I would like to settle my
         friend's old score, with my own hands. We are pursuing a man who
         manipulated the war with Serdio from behind the scenes. My friend was
         killed by that man. At the same time, the Moon Gem, which belonged to
         Serdio, was taken away. We have different reasons, however we are all
         linked to that man, and here we are."

 King Zior: "You said the Moon Gem. It is a legacy of the Winglies, isn't it?"

 Dart: "Could you please tell us about the Moon Dagger Your Majesty?"

 King Zior: "It was after the Dragon Campaign. Humans defeated the Winglies
            and built Serdio, Tiberoa and Mille Seseau. They say the few
            surviving Winglies sent a divine objet of the moon as a proof of
            peace to the three countries. That's all I know about the legend."

 Albert: "We have the same legend in my country. What is dangerous is that we
         Humans don't know what the divine moon object is for."

 Dart: "You mean the Winglies know everything and formed this entire
       conspiracy?"

 Emille: "Father. We have to take the Moon Dagger back. Before the stars that
         have beheld Tiberoa are lost in a shadow."

 King Zior: "It seems that girl of the Winglies got away to Illisa Bay. Now,
            it's time for an appearance by Commodore Puler. I will send the
            most powerful warship that Tiberoa has, the Queen Fury. Have
            Commodore Puler pursue her. Of course, you are more than welcome
            to be on the boat."

 Dart: "I appreciate it, Your Majesty."

 King Zior: "It was the first time I've seen a Wingly. But they seem to be
            beyond our power...so that...we might need your help."

 Emille: "Please take care of yourselves."

[The party goes to Donau's harbor.]

 Shana: "Is this a ship?"

 Kongol: "Kongol is excited. This bigger than me."

 Dart: "So, this is the Queen Fury?"

 Kayla: "!? You must be Dart!?"

 Dart: "Yes, I am, and you?"

 Kayla: "My name is Kayla! I'm a crew member on the Queen Fury! I'm getting
        the Commodore now! Commodore!! Commodore Puler!! Dart and his friends
        are here!"

 Puler: "What Kayla!? Be quiet! A man of the sea should have a big heart.
        Sometimes you listen to the waves, and cast your dreams to the ocean.
        That is a man's romance!!"

 Kayla: "Commodore! Dart and his firneds are here! You got an order from the
        King didn't you sir?"

 Puler: "Oh! You are the brave young people who routed the bandits! You deserve
        to be guests on my ship! The Queen Fury!"

 Dart : "Thank you. But we don't want to be treated as guests. We have the same
        objective, to pursue Lenus."

 Puler: "Hmmm!! I like that!!"

 Kayla: "We are ready to go, sir!!"

 Puler: "I see. Now the only thing left is for you to board. As soon as you
        are ready, we will hit the ocean!!"

 Kayla: "We have been waiting for you! Are you ready to go?
        R1 -> Please wait a little.
        R2 -> Yes.

        R1: "Please wait a little."

            Kayla: "Please hurry up! Or we will lose the person we are
                   pursuing!"

        R2: "Yes."

 Kayla: "Now, let's set sail!!"

[All aboard the Queen Fury...!]

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

[Dart's party lazes around the ship, all in different areas. Shana is near a
 railing with some seagulls.]

 Shana: "Many things have happened. I was put in jail...and Dart came to
        rescue me. ... We were with Lavitz. And now we are here, pursuing
        Lloyd. There are so many things I don't understand. The Moon That
        Never Sets, the voice of Virage.... I wish I could fly like you
        guys. But it doesn't take me anywhere. ... ... Dart will laugh at
        me. Dart, I wonder where he went?"

[Shana eventually finds Dart on the bridge.]

 Shana: [Here you are, Dart.] "Hi, Dart. Dart?"

 Puler: "When Humans go to sea, there is a lot to think about. Friendship,
        love, life and romance! Probably Dart's heart is wandering in the
        mother ocean."

 Shana: [Such a scary face. He must be thinking about the Black Monster.]

 Dart: "Oh, Shana.... Is something wrong?"

 Shana: "I have been thinking too. About the past and future. And about you
        and me...."

 Dart: "You and me?"

 Shana: "Eventually, our journey will end."

 Dart: "Yes, eventually. But.... I wonder where we will be?"

 Shana: "I want to be next to you, Dart. But.... Nobody knows about the future.

[Shana quickly leaves.]

 Puler: "Love and sailing are alike. If you don't swim against the waves and
        just enjoy it, you will overcome it. Thinking alone is sometimes good.
        But sometimes, when you listen to others, your way will open up."

 Dart: [The Black Monster, I still don't know anything about it. Maybe, Rose
        might know something about it.]

[Dart seeks out Rose at the crow's-nest.]

 Dart: [Here you are, Rose.] "Here you are."

 Rose: "May I help you?"

 Dart: "It's about the Black Monster. I thought you might know something about
       it, Rose."

 Rose: "That's right. You are traveling just for that.... Unfortunately, I
       have nothing to tell you."

 Dart: "Oh...."

 Rose: "What are you going to do when you catch the Black Monster, what are
       you going to do with him? Kill him to avenge your parents? That'll
       satisfy your feelings?"

 Dart: "'Revenge does not generate anything.' That's what I learned from
       Lavitz. To tell the truth, I don't know what I am going to do or even
       what I want to do when I face the Black Monster. I just want to know
       what he is."

 Rose: "I see.... Well, I can tell you one thing. Do you know what is the
       source of the power of Dragoons? War is not in human nature. Humans
       fight by making themselves enter insanity. It is...the same for revenge.
       This is a tool to amplify the insanity. And this insanity is the source
       of the power of Dragoons, the Dragon Knight."

 Dart: "I didn't know that...."

 Rose: "Someday, something will happen, and if you cannot chasten your insanity,
       I wonder if you will be able to endure it, given the size of your spirit?
       Sorry. It was just nonsense."

 Dart: "It's okay. When I finish with Lloyd, I'll go on my journey to pursue the
       Black Monster. When I face him, I'll find my own answer to that."

[Dart leaves.]

 Rose: "Mine is not a 'journey'.... I'll take a walk for a change."

[She eventually finds Haschel sitting alone.]

 Rose: [Haschel....] "Are you thinking about something?"

 Haschel: "Oh, Rose. Do you want to talk about your love?"

 Rose: "I was just walking around and happened to be here."

 Haschel: "Can I ask you one thing?"

 Rose: "Sure."

 Haschel: "You, why are you with us? I heard that in the beginning it was
          Dart's Dragoon Spirit. It seems that's not all."

 Rose: "I guess.... Maybe this journey is just a little break for me...."

 Haschel: "'Break,' hmm. Well, everybody has different objectives on the
          journey. But you, you look like you're rushing yourself to death,
          with your life being run by something."

 Rose: "It's none of your business."

[Rose walks away.]

 Haschel: "I guess I was involved too much. I cannot make judgments about other
          people.

[Flashback: Haschel's home village 25 years ago. His daughter is fighting.]

 Claire: "Taa!"

 Haschel: "Claire!! Your steps during the attack are slow!! Take more precise,
          faster steps!!"

 Claire: "Yes, Father."

 Haschel: "You idiot! During the training, don't think of me as your 'Father'!
          Call me 'Master'!"

 Claire: "I am sorry, Master."

[Present-day Haschel says the next line.]

 Haschel: "Claire.... You, my daughter, were the only heir to our ancestral
          Rouge School martial art.

[Claire starts fighting again.]

 Claire: "Yaa! Here!

 Haschel: "Claire!! You cannot take over the Rouge School with such pathetic
          skills!!"

 Claire: "Daa!"

 Haschel: "You implanted a murderous intention in your fist, didn't you!?"

 Claire: "Oh Lotta.... What's wrong? Lotta? What's wrong!? Oh! Lotta!?"

 Haschel: "Get out of my sight!!"

 Claire: "Lotta...."

 Haschel: "Get out of my sight!!"

[Claire gets run off. Back on the ship.]

 Haschel: "... I shouted out of anger. I was just running away from the pain
          that we have to overcome together, as a Master and as a Father. It's
          been 20 years since I left the village pursuing Claire, but what I
          have found was only my immaturity. As time goes by, I forget the
          objectives of my journey. But Dart and the others gave me a new one.
          I think...what I am going through now is a journey to support the
          passion of young Dart and his friends. Oops! Oops! I have become too
          mushy! Well, maybe  I'll go tease Kongol! I hope he is not knocked
          out with seasickness!"

[Haschel goes to pester Kongol in the fore engine room.]

 Haschel: [Here you are, Kongol.] "What are you doing alone?"

 Kongol : "Kongol always alone."

 Haschel: "You are not now."

 Kongol : "Friends. I still don't know. Kongol is here to see if you become
          leader instead of Emperor Doel."

 Haschel: "Doel.... It was your objective for the journey, wasn't it? Hmm, then
          why don't you talk to Albert? He might know something about Doel's
          story from the past.

 Kongol : "King of Human...."

[Haschel leaves, and Kongol seeks out Albert in his room.]

 Kongol: [Human king, Albert.] "Kongol wants talk. What is friends? Dart said,
         Kongol friend. Kongol don't know. What is friend?"

 Albert: "My Uncle Doel was your friend...wasn't he?"

 Kongol: "No. I fight for Emperor Doel. To make a world where all the species
         equal."

 Albert: "Maybe we can put it this way. Maybe 'friends' are the people who walk
         the same road. People who walk together, but not led by somebody, who
         share happiness and pain."

 Kongol: "That is friends...?"

 Albert: "Yes. That is us now. Although we have different objectives, we are
         walking side by side. Kongol. You are already walking the same road
         as us."

[Kongol leaves.]

 Meru: "Boring!! Anybody, wanna hang out with me!!"

 Albert: "It's tahnks to those girls. I can continue to walk on this road. 
         Now, I'm going to socialize with my friends too."

[Albert goes to chill with Meru.]

 Albert: "You are having fun as always."

[She hits him with a pillow.]

 Meru: "I gotcha!!! Big success!!"

 Albert: "It's an awful welcome."

 Meru: "Hey, Al. You are a bit too squarish. You gotta become cool like Dart...
       Are you mad now?"

 Albert: "No. But I now have a question."

 Meru: "Wow!? The exciting question time!?"

 Albert: "Meru, when you joined us, you said 'There is still something I can
         help with'. Is that true?"

 Meru: "Um.... ILet me see. I dunno why but I really feel that way. It's true.
       But, I dunno what it is."

 Albert: "You are not just kidding it seems. Our journey is a dangerous one.
         We will not be able to succeed, if we take a lackadaisical attitude
         towards it. Therefore, I wanted to make sure one more time. I don't
         want to see anybody else dying. Now, please excuse me."

[Albert bails.]

 Meru: "Whatever. The King became too serious. Now is my big chance!! To hang
       out with Dart!!"

[She goes to the bridge.]

 Meru: [A Dart spotted! Thinking about something...? I know! Hee hee hee.]
       "Who do you think it is?"
       R1 -> Is that you Shana?
       R2 -> Of course, it's Meru!
       R3 -> No way...it's Rose?
       R4 -> Albert, don't be silly.
       R5 -> Haschel...quit that voice.
       R6 -> I doubt it, but, Kongol?

       R1: "Is that you Shana?"

           Meru: "Hey! You! Don't you have anything else to think about!?"

           Dart: "Oh, it's you Meru."

           Meru: "What is that 'Oh' about!"

           Dart: "S, sorry."

       R2: "Of course, it's Meru!"

           Meru: "Wow! How did you know?"

           Dart: "There is nobody else who does such pranks."

           Meru: "I guess so."

       R3: "No way...it's Rose?"

           Meru: "Of course."

           Dart: "Wh, what do you want?"

           Meru: "I have something to tell ya! Oops, tell you. I, like you
                 ...Dart..."

           Dart: "Wh, what are you saying? I, I have Shana."

           Meru: "Hey! Are you an idiot or what!? I have such a pretty voice,
                 it can't be anybody else but me!!"

           Dart: "M, Meru...."

           Meru: "BY THE WAY...."

           Dart: "Wha, what?"

           Meru: "Well! I won't tell Shana about this!"

       R4: "Albert, don't be silly."

           Meru: "Yes, I am. I am the King of Serdio, Albert. I am the most
                 important person in this country. I don't think so!!"

           Dart: "I knew it, it's you Meru."

       R5: "Haschel...quit that voice."

           Meru: "You, You really think so?"

           Dart: "You never change Haschel. You always like pranks."

           Meru: "I'm not, I'm not an old man."

           Dart: "S, Sorry! I was just kidding!"

           Meru: "Really?"

           Dart: "It's impossible to mistake your pretty voice."

           Meru: "Of course!

       R6: "I doubt it, but, Kongol?"

           Meru: "Yes. Kongol don't speak with forked tongue. I don't think
                 so!!"

           Dart: "I knew it was you, Meru."

 Meru: "Well! I have great news for someone who looks totally bored. Why don't
       ya come with me on an adventure on this ship?"

 Dart: "I've already seen a lot."

 Meru: "Hey! You were thinking about Shana, weren't you! If she sees you
       walking with a pretty girl like me, she would get mad, wouldn't she?"

 Dart: "Shana doesn't get mad about those things. What's with this adventure,
       suddenly?"

 Meru: ("Well.... There is something bothering me. Don't ya think Rose is
        strange?")

 Dart: "She is strange, but I don't think she is as strange as you."

 Meru: "I'm not talking about that strange! I think she has something that she
       hasn't told us or she has been involved in something shady or...."

 Dart: "Have you told us everything about you, Meru?"

 Meru: "I'm the exception!"

 Dart: "Don't talk bad about your friends. Everybody has something that they
       need to hide."

 Meru: "Sorry. I don't mean to talk bad about Rose, but she's cold to me....
       So somehow...."

 Dart: "Then you want a change of pace with an adventure?"

 Meru: "That's my Dart! You are totally cool! Come on! Now departing on Meru's
       expedition!!"

 Dart: "Meru's expedition huh...?"

[Meru joins Dart for awhile; they go towards the crow's-nest.]

 Dart: [Rose....]

[Meru goes behind her.]

 Dart: ("Don't play a prank on her. She doesn't understand jokes.")

 Meru: ("I won't!" Rose has a mysterious personality. She is always cold but
        when it comes to a critical point, she leads us in a variety of ways.")

 Dart: ("We are alive now because of Rose.")

 Meru: ("I agree.")

 Rose: "!!"

[The Phantom Ship of sailors' legend appears and strikes the Queen Fury.]

 Sailor: "!? What on earth is this?"

 Sailor: "I can't believe this."

 Puler: "What are you doing!? Get back t oyour stations and check on the
        damages!!"

 Crew: "!!"

[They salute and leave.]

 Albert: "There is a heraldry. It looks like a royal ship of Mille Seseau."

 Meru: "Is this, like a phantom ship!?"

 Dart: "Oh boy!!"

 Kayla: "Commodore!! Bad news!! It got the engine room!!"

 Puler: "Kayla!! Let them hurry to fix it!!"

 Kayla: "Aye aye sir!!"

 Dart: "We cannot pursue Lenus like this!"

 Puler: "Sometimes the ocean shows it capriciously, but I have never seen such
        a thing. Wait for a while, there is nothing we can do now."

 Rose: (Th...this ship is...)

 Haschel: "Dart!! I can't find Shana anywhere!!"

 Voice: "Yeeeeeek!!"

 Dart: "Shana!?"

[He jumps onto the phantom ship.]

 Shana: "Where am I? !? Yeeeek!!"

 Dart: "Shana!! Why did you come here!?"

 Shana: "I don't know. When I woke up, I was in here. But those knights
        protected me. They...are gone though."

 Albert: "At least you are safe and sound."

 Meru: "Come on! Come on!! We are here already so we might as well just take
       some tour here!?"

 Dart: "No way!"

 Shana: "I want to go too. I don't know why, but I want to know about this
        ship! Oh please!"

 Albert: "We'll go with them. Then, it won't be a problem."

 Dart: "Okay, but if anything happens, we gotta go back."

[In the corridor leading to the captain's bridge.]

 Ghost: "Captain, please open here. Where are you, Captain?"

[On the topdeck...]

 Dart: "!?"

 Ghost Crew A: "Help me.... The bastard...the bastard is.... I don't want to
               ...die. H...Help."

 Dart: "What!?"

 Ghost Crew A: "We...cannot make it. We'll be killed by him. I don't want to
               die. H...Help."

 Dart: "What are they talking about?"

[Dart finds a Magician Bogy, which flees after being fought.]

 Dart: "It ran away!"

[In the last room...]

 Dart: "We cornered it!! !?"

[Out of the opened treasure chest...]

 Ghost Captain: "I have a favor to ask you. Please come to the captain's cabin.

[Dart goes to said cabin.]

 Meru: "Wow! A portrait of a beautiful woman. It seems like the queen of some
       country."

 Dart: "It closed by itself!"

 Ghost Captain: "Please, help me!"

 Dart: "...!?"

 Ghost Captain: "He...killed...the crew...Nanny...knights...me...and the
                newborn princess.... Him.... The Black...Monster."

 Dart: "Wh...What!? This was done by the Black Monster too!?"

 Ghost Captain: "We couldn't protect...the princess, so we couldn't finish
                dying. Please destroy the fear...please send the souls of the
                knights to rest. AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!"

 Dart: "It's impossible to fully die. He killed people for no reason!"

 Rose: "..."

[On the topdeck...]

 Ghost Knight: "We won't give you Princess Louvia!"

 Dart: "Rose!!"

 Ghost Knight: "We'll protect her even if it costs our lives!"

 Albert: "'After counting 108 years, when the Moon That Never Sets glows red,
         a moon child descends upon the earth, to fill the world with holy
         bliss.' However, what was actually brought was the child of
         destruction, the Black Monster. We are witnessing a tragedy from the
         past."

 Shana: "It's awful. Why did it have to do this?"

 Dart: "The Black Monster!! How much does he have to kill before he satisfies
       himself!?"

 Rose: "Stop it!! Sorry. What was I thinking? Let's move on. You want to know,
       don't you?"

[Inside the princess' room...]

 Dart: "!?"

 Head of Ghost Knights: "You, Black Monster...."

 Ghost Knight A: "How dare you come here, pursuing Princess Louvia."

 Ghost Knight B: "But, as long as we are here with her, we are not going to
                 give her up."

 Dart: "We are not the Black Monster! We are...!"

 Ghost Knight C: "How dare you monster, using human words to fool us.:

 Ghost Knight D: "Unforgivable. Even if it costs my life, I won't give up our
                 Princess Louvia!!!"

[The ghosts are defeated.]

 Ghost Knight: "AHHHHHH!!!"

 Head of Ghost Knight: "Princess? Princess!"

 Dart: "Shana!!"

 Shana: "It's over! There is no more Black Monster. Oh please.... Please suffer
        no more."

 Head of Ghost Knight: "You...you are...."

 Shana: "...I...!?"

 Head of Ghost Knight: "Thank god. You made it. Princess Louvia...."

[The ghost knight vanishes.]

 Shana: "W, Wait!! Is there still something that I don't know about?

 Dart: "!? The door is open."

[Inside, Dart looks at the baby crib.]

 Ghost Nanny: "Princess Louvia, she was still young. If she wasn't a princess
              of Mille Seseau, this wouldn't have happened."

 Shana: "Princess of Mille Seseau?"

 Ghost Nanny: "Oh my, you are...? Alive.... Oh lord. It was not in vain. I have
              been wandering for 18 years and longing for you. I can now end
              everything. I can go to the place everyone is."

[The nanny sublimes.]

 Shana: "Wait! What kind of relationship do I have to this person!?"

[The crib stops rocking.]

 Albert: "!?"

 Shana: "Yeek!!"

 Dart: "This ship is sinking!?"

[The party goes to escape.]

 Kayla: "Everything is fixed and under control in the engine room now, sir!!

 Puler: "Now let's relax and wait for Dart and the others to come back.

 Kayla: "Whoa!?"

 Puler: "Kayla!! Get ready quick!!"

 Albert: "Everyone!! Hurry up!!"

 Meru: "Dart, Rose!! Quick quick!!"

[Dart and Rose are stragling.]

 Shana: "Dart!!"

 Rose: "Let's go!! We are the last ones!!"

[The two try to jump but almost fall in the water.]

 Albert: "!!"

 Dart: "Rose!! Let go!! You gotta live!!"

 Rose: [This is the same as back then!!] "No!! I won't let go!! I will never
       let it happen again!!"

 Albert: "Rose!? Dart!! Rose!!"

[The two fall into the waves.]

 Albert: "Dart!!!"

 Shana: "Commodore Puler!! Put out the life raft, quick!"

[Dart and Rose end up in a cave somewhere on the mainland, away from the crew.]

 Rose: "Dart and Zieg, they are so much alike. Not only are they dragoons
       recognized by the Red-Eyed Dragon, but there is something else, 
       something that attracts me.... After 11,000 years of time, I now feel
       the strength and tenderness of Dart...and even...his frailty. These tame
       the insanity of the Dragoon for me. Zieg.... If my hands could grab him,
       I wouldn't have had this bitterness."

[Flashback: 11,000 years ago in the Dragon Campaign]

 Rose: "Kanzas!"

[Kanzas self-destructs on a Virage. Zieg tangos with a weird person.]

 Zieg: "Not bad! I'm taking you with me!"

 Zieg: "Melbu Frahma! Die!!"

 Melbu Frahma: "How dare you!?"

[The large structure starts to break. A Dragoon holds it up.

 Shirley: "Belzac? your death won't be in vain!"

[Shirley destroys a Virage with an arrow.]

[Rose is alone and sees Zieg calcifying.]

 Zieg: "Revel to your very core in my internal curse!!"

 Rose: "Zieg!!"

[She grasps his hand.]

 Zieg: "Let go! Save yourself!"

 Rose: "Zieggggg!!!!"

[Back to the present.]

 Rose: "I saw Zieg in Dart. But.... Dart is Dart. He is not Zieg. No...he is
       not Zieg."

[She falls asleep cradling Dart ^___^  The next morning a dog/kid find them.]

 Pete: "Pooch! What's wrong!? Oh my god!! There is somebody there!!"

[He takes them to his town.]

 Pete: "Pooch, you like him, don't ya? I was surprised. Nobody would think
       there are people there."

 Dart: "We are saved thanks to you, Pete. We have to thank Pooch too."

 Pete: "By the way. Are you in love with each other? Cuz you two are traveling
       alone."

 Dart: "Do you think so?"

 Pete: "I think so. Don't they look it?"

 Pete's Ma: "Yes. You make a good couple."

 Rose: "Don't be silly."

 Dart: "We were just looking for our friends. Actually, there are seven of us."

 Pete: "Okay, but you don't need to be shy."

 Pete's Ma: *cough* *cough* *cough*

 Dart: "Are you sick?"

 Pete's Ma: "It's nothing." *cough*

 Pete: "Actualy, we should have been to the clinic in the neighboring town."

 Rose: "Neighboring town?"

 Pete: "It's Fueno. There is a port and they have a boat to Donau."

 Dart: "You know what...? The Queen Fury might have dropped by. But why don't
       you take your mother to Fueno?"

 Pete: "Cuz there is a monster on the way in the Undersea Cavern."

 Pete's Ma: "I know we rarely have guests, but we have to let them go, Pete.
            Mr. Dart. I hope you can meet your friends soon."

 Pete: "I hope so too! Say hi to everybody, okay!?"

[As the party tries to leave...]

 Pete: "Dart!! *Huff. Huff*"

 Dart: "What's wrong?"

 Pete: "Would you please take us to Fueno! I'm afraid of the monster, but we
       gotta go before it's too late!"

 Dart: "It's about your mother, isn't it."

 Pete: "I want her to be in the hospital."

 Dart: "You got it. We'll take you there."

 Rose: "I can annihilate the monster for you. Did I say something wrong?"

 Pete: "Thank you! I'll bring my ma!!"

[He leaves for a sec.]

 Rose: "What are you looking at?"

 Dart: "No, nothing."

[Soon the party leaves for the Undersea Cavern.]

 Pete: "Since the Monster appeared, the water has never ebbed. But it's okay
       cuz Fueno is not this way."

[And it's off to Fueno!]

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

[The bustling city opens up before the party.]

 Pete: "Here we are at Fueno!! Thank you! Dart and Rose!"

 Dart: "You have to get better soon and make Pete happy."

 Pete: "I hope you can find your friends soon! But, are you actually in love
       with each other? Cuz in that cave, you...."

[Rose yanks him aside.]

 Rose: !! ("You are a good boy and didn't see anything, okay!?")

 Pete: ("O...okay. I didn't see it, maybe.") "It's nothing! We are going!
       Rose! You gotta confess to him!!"

[Rose nearly chases him off.]

 Rose: "Kids.... What are you looking at?"

[The two walk down to the docked Queen Fury.]

 Crew: "!!"

 Kayla: "Well..in that storm.... Even for the powerful Dart and Rose...."

 Crew: "You, you are!!"

 Kayla: "Mr. Dart!! Miss Rose!!"

 Dart: "Kayla. I had you worried."

 Kayla: "Thank god!! Both of you are safe!!"

 Dart: "That was nothing."

 Kayla: "Oh!! Did you see Miss Shana!? Please go see her, hurry!! She hasn’t
        spoken even a word, since you disappeared!"

 Dart: "Is she on the boat!?"

 Kayla: "Everybody is in the city now!"

[Dart and company go back into the city, running into Meru.]

 Meru: "!! Ouch!! Don't you have eyes!?"

 Dart: "Meru!!"

 Meru: "Oh? Dart!! Rose!! I knew it!! You guys are alive!! Did you see Shana?
       Bad boy!! Come with me quickly!! We're in the hotel!! Come quick!!

[They go to said place.]

 Dart: "Hmm? She said the hotel.... Meru.... Where is she?"

 Meru: "Who am I!?"

 Dart: "!?"

[The rest of the men come down.]

 Meru: "You guys are slow pokes!"

 Albert: "Welcome back!

 Haschel: "We were tired of waiting for you!"

 Kongol: "You, die, impossible."

 Dart: "Everybody!!"

 Rose: "Hurry. Go see Shana."

 Albert: "She is in the back room upstairs."

[Dart runs up to see her.]

 Meru: "Let's leave them alone!"

 Haschel: ("Rose, she has changed somehow.")

 Albert: ("I agree. Indeed I got the impression that she has calmed down. In
         any event, it's a good thing.")

[Upstairs...]

 Dart: "Shana!"

 Shana: "Dart? Oh Dart!!"

 Dart: "I made you worried. Are you crying?"

 Shana: "It was nothing. I'm so happy that I'm crying. So.... Please don't say
        anything. I'm happy just like this."

 Voice: ("Peeking is not a ladylike thing to do!")

 Voice: ("I thought you wanted to leave them alone didnt' you!?")

 Dart: "!?"

 Voice: ("It's okay for me! I gotta learn about love and romance! You guys go
        back! Or we're gonna be caught!")

 Dart: "Kids...."

[Dart opens the door and the eavesdroppers -- Haschel, Meru, Albert -- tumble
in.]

 Meru: "Wow!! Please excuse us!!"

 Shana: "Ha ha! It's typical of Meru!"

 Dart: "Finally, you smiled."

 Shana: "True. It's been a while."

[Later on...]

 Dart: "And this and that.... We finally made it to Fueno."

 Albert: "Not only that, you two are safe and sound. It is just a miracle that
         the seven of us can meet again. We have to offer our thanks to the
         Tiberoan God."

 Dart: "We ought to return the favor to the God by taking the Moon Dagger back.

 Haschel: "We have to catch Lenus then."

 Meru: "May I ask you a question please!?"

 Dart: "What's wrong? Why are you being so formal like that?"

 Meru: "You guys were alone in the cave, weren't you? Did you guys put
       yourselves into...um...a romantic situation?"

 Haschel: "Meru! Don't be silly. Even though you are trying to learn about love
          it's too rude!"

 Meru: "Okay."

 Haschel: "So, Dart. Did you cuddle with Rose?"

 Rose: "Haschel!!"
 Dart: "Haschel!!"
 Meru: "Haschel!!"
 Albert: "Haschel!!"

 Haschel: "Sorry, sorry. It slipped out."

 Dart: "What do you mean 'slipped'."

 Rose: "Don't worry, Shana. Dart was concerned about you the whole time.
       Anyway, about Lenus.... We should go out and ask about her in the city.
       We may find out something."

 Dart: "I...I agree."

[A drunk is near the entrance.]

 Drippy: "You, you don't believe me either!? I really saw it! I saw a Dragon on
         the Prison Island!"

 Dart: "Dragon!? On the Prison Island?"

 Drippy: "You don't know that! My ship was smashed by the Sea Dragon rumored to
         live over the Undersea Cavern! I gotta have a drink or something! But!
         You cannot go there anymore! There are lots of monsters there! My
         house was taken by those monsters! I gotta have a drink! It was a half
         year ago that the monster showed up. It's all the monster's fault that
         I'm like this now. Give my ship and house back. ZZZZZZ...."

 Rose: "A half year ago.... It is the same time that Lenus joined the gang."

 Dart: "Okay. Let's go to the Prison Island."

 Drippy: "And, in the Prison Island?"

 Dart: "What is that noise!?
 
 Shana: "It's from over there!"

 Albert: "There must be something over there."

 Rose: "It's not just 'something'. It seems that the rumor about the Sea Dragon
       is true."

 Meru: "That is the Dragon's cry."

 Rose: "I can't blame you for feeling scared."

 Meru: "I...I'm not scared! A dragon or two is nothing!"

 Dart: "We have to look for a way to go to the Prison Island."

[They pitstop in Lidiera first. The mayor's playing cards.]

 Mayor of Lidiera: "Sorry! I'm in the middle of something! Here we go! How's
                   this!?"

 Villager A: "Darn!! Not again!"

 Mayor of Lidiera: "Well! I got a good win! Let's take a break! And what do
                   you want?"

 Dart: "We want to go to the Prison Island, but we cannot go because of the
       flood tide. We are wondering if there is any other way to go."

 Mayor of Lidiera: "You said the Prison Island!?"

 Villager A: "Are you serious?"

 Villager B: "Do you want to commit suicide or something?"

 Dart: "We are serious but we don't want to commit suicide."

 Mayor of Lidiera: "You know it's dangerous to go there, young man!! But,
                   why!? Why would you want to throw yourself into danger?"
                   R1 -> Danger attracts me.
                   R2 -> Danger is my middle name.
                   R3 -> We need to see the monster.

                   R1: "Danger attracts me."

                       Mayor of Lidiera: "What!? I cannot let daredevils like
                                         you go there! I didn't close the way
                                         because it was fun! Now go!"

                   R2: "Danger is my middle name."

                       Mayor of Lidiera: "What!? I cannot let crazy people like
                                         you go there! I didn't close the way
                                         because it was fun! Get out of my
                                         sight!"

                   R3: "I need to see the monster."

 Mayor of Lidiera: "You need to 'see' the monster!? ... ... You look serious.
                   The appearance.... You are warriors, aren't you? I got it.
                   I'll tell ya. But it's up to you, whether you can survive
                   there or not! I closed the route to the Prison Island, after
                   the monster problem arose."

 Villager A: "Why didn't you close the whole cave, it's really dangerous."

 Villager B: "Then we wouldn't be able to get to Fueno?"

 Mayor of Lidiera: "That's why I closed only the path to the Prison Island."

 Albert: "I have a question. How do you control the tide. It's puzzling me."

 Mayor of Lidiera: "Oh! Don't be so puzzled! I just closed the gate to the
                   sea when the tide was full! Then even after the tide has
                   ebbed, the water level inside won't go down inside!"

 Albert: "Oh...my. What a simple trick."

 Mayor of Lidiera: "You imagined I could think of something complicated!? Haa
                   haa haa!! Hey!! OPen the gimmick gate for'em!!"

 Villager: "I got it!!"

[A person opens a gate near Pete's house.]

 Mayor of Lidiera: "Go into the cave from the right side of Pete's house. Turn
                   the Valve and you can open the gate. Then you can go to the
                   Prison Island!"

[Dart flips the crankvalve.]

 Dart: "Now! We can go to the Prison Island!"

[After trekking through the Undersea Cavern, a scene with Lloyd/Lenus.]

 Lenus: "Here is the Moon Dagger that you wanted. I didn't kill those Humans
        as you said. But why did you suddenly start to say such a thing?"

 Lloyd: "The blood-smeared road might be the only way to lead us to the world
        we desire. Death gives birth to tears. And tears give birth to anger.
        When anger turns itself into rancor, it opens to war. It's silly that
        I have to repeat it, and since once is enough."

 Lenus: "Well, I won't stop you if you want to do so, Lloyd. Anyway! He's
        called something like Dart! Aren't they the ones coming after you,
        Lloyd!?"

 Lloyd: "It's all in my plan."

 Lenus: "Hmm. 'Plan' huh? Now, let me tell you my plan. My plan is to get a
        hot prize from you. Tut!"

[Dart's gang arrives.]

 Lenus: "Hey, you're disturbing my moment here!! You're gonna pay for this!!"

 Dart: "Why...why is Lloyd here!? Is this all part of your plot!?"

 Lloyd: "My will is with Emperor Diaz. Namely, everything was planned by the
        god."

 Rose: "You are still talking about that crap!"

 Albert: "You killed Lavitz, let us settle this score now!!"

 Lloyd: "I have the calling to reform the world. I have no time to pay
        attention to little things, like Lavitz."

 Dart: "Lloyd!!"

 Lenus: "I can't stand it anymore!!"

 Lloyd: "I am the one who torched your home to the ground. I am the one who
        deprived your friend of his life. And I hold the Moon Gem and the Moon
        Dagger in my hands! You abhor me, don't you?"

 Rose: "!!"

 Lloyd: "I am heading to Mille Seseau. Pursue me, if you can survive!"

[Lloyd leaves.]

 Lenus: "Easy easy! Wait a minute! Don't be so hasty! It was nice of him giving
        you an 'invitation'. But you gotta decline it. Because you will die now
        in here!!"

[Lenus transforms into the Dragoon of Water, getting defeated anyway.]

 Lenus: "Lloyd, my life...is for you!!

[She throws her chakram at Dart.]

 Shana: "Dart!"

[Shana pushes Dart out of the way, escaping harm. He bats the other away.]

 Lenus: "Lloyd...."

[Lenus disappears. A shiny, familiar light goes to Meru...]

 Meru: "This...."

 Dart: "It's Meru's Dragoon Spirit."

 Rose: "Oh, I am surprised that Meru was recognized."

 Meru: "Does that mean this Dragoon Spirit chose me? It means.... Am I one of
       the Dragoons?" [Acquired Blue Sea Dragoon Spirit] "I'm a Dragoon too!"

 Rose: "'Dragoon Spirits attract each other, and Dragoons gather as the Dragon
       Spirit desires.... As Soa's fate leads....'"

 Dart: "Are we drawn to each other like that? Is that what you are saying?"

 Rose: "It's just folklore. You are going to pursue Lloyd aren't you?"

[She walks away.]

 Albert: "Unfortunately, we have to go meet King Zior to tell him we couldn't
         bring the Moon Dagger back."

 Dart: "Aren't you hurt?"

 Shana: "No, thanks to you, Dart."

[Everyone's walked away.]

 Meru: "Hey guys!! Don't you ignore me like that!! Heeey wait for me!!"

[They backtrack to Fueno.]

 Puler: "Dart! I heard about you! You successfully defeated the monster on the
        Prison Island and the female bandit! What's wrong? You have a long
        face. We are ready to go back to Fletz in triumph."

 Dart: "We couldn't get the Moon Dagger back."

 Puler: "I like the ocean. Let yourself flow in the waves and winds. The
        problems of this world become not a problem at all. Here is an idea,
        Dart. Why don't you come with me on the ocean? Dart, you would make a
        good sailor, or even a great man of the sea!"
        R1 -> A man of the sea, not bad.
        R2 -> I can't.

        R1: "A man of the sea, not bad."

            Shana: "What are you talking about! We have to pursue Lloyd now!"

            Dart: "Yeah. We have something we have to take care of."

            Puler: "I understand, but it's a shame. However, I'm moved that you
                   considered being a man of the sea. It's small, but it's my
                   farewell gift to you! Take this! [Acquired 100G]

        R2: "I can't. I still have something to take care of."

            Puler: "I understand. It's a shame, though."

 Puler: "Dart, as soon as you are ready, just come aboard. Meet you on the
        boat! Be ready for departure!!"

 Kayla: "Are you ready?"
        R1 -> Not yet.
        R2 -> Yes.

        R1: "Not yet."

            Kayla: "Please hurry up. Commodore Puler is losing his patience."

        R2: "Yes."

            Kayla: "Casting off! Getting ready to cast off!!"

[Back to Donau...]

| Ch. 2 - 33 - Twin Castle at Fletz IV                                   TCF4 |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

[Everyone heads towards the castle square.]

 Man: "Princess Emille is here!!"

 Albert: "Let's go!"

 Man: "Her graceful steps...."

 Woman: "Her dainty movement of the hands...."

 Man: "Her gracious eyes...."

 Woman: "She must be.... She is our Princess Emille!!"

 Crowd: "Princess Emille is back!"

 Emille: "I have returned after a half year of sleep. My father, King Zior,
         wouldn't say it, but I heard that the evildoings of the sinner who
         feigned to be me has harmed our people in Tiberoa. I can say it is
         my fault. Because people were wounded by trusting someone they thought
         was me. I am determined to make atonements for this, even if it takes
         forever."

 Crowd: "It wasn't your fault Your Majesty!! Please do not blame yourself Your
        Highness!! Your returning only makes us happy!!"

 Emille: "I owe you a debt of gratitude. I love this country. I love you
         people. Let us make this country continue to be a wonderful country!"

 Pregnant Mother: "I have a favor to ask you, Princess Emille. May I ask you to
                  name my baby, my soon-to-be-born baby, Your Highness?"

 Emille: "It would be my pleasure. How about Eyie for a girl and Al for a boy?
         They have the sound of great energy and strength."

 Pregnant Mother: "They are beautiful names!! I thank you very much Your
                  Highness!!"

 Crowd: "God bless Princess Emille!! God Bless Tiberoa Kingdom!! All the best
        for the kingdom and us!!"

[After the crowd disperses...]

 Albert: "Oh Princess Emille.... How beautiful she is...."

 Dart: "Albert?"
 
 Albert: "Just like I imagined.... Oh, thank you lord for leading me to the
         country of Princess Emille...."

 Dart: "Is something wrong?"

 Albert: "Oh.... Oh. Oh, no? Where is Princess Emille?"

 Dart: "You can meet her again in the castle."

[In the Twin Castle...]

 Tiberoan Knight: "We have been waiting for you, sir!! Please proceed to the
                  Chamber of the Sun!!"

[The party goes for an audience.]

 King Zior: "Heroes! Forget about formality! You are the special guests of
            Tiberoa! Welcome back!"

 Emille: "I'm glad you are safe and sound..."

 Lisa: "My sister is now acting as if nothing happened, but until you came
       back, King Albert, she had lost her appetite completely."

 King Zior: "It's not only Emille. We were longing for all of you to come
            back. Well done."

 Dart: "But... The Moon Dagger is still in their hands..."

 King Zior: "Stop it! You people brought justice upon the evil bandits!! You
            defeated the Sea Dragon that infested Illisa Bay!! It was you,
            young people, who brought peace and happiness to Tiberoa and
            brought smiles back to our people!!"

 Albert: "However, the Moon Dagger has to be passed on to Princess Emille..."

 King Zior: "The Moon Dagger is a mere royal tradition. Tradition alone doesn't
            put smiles on our people's faces. That is all the Moon Dagger can
            be. King Albert. We are satisfied with the way things turned out."

 Emille: "Instead of the Moon Dagger, we found something else to hand down. 
         That is...the heroic story of you."

 Lisa: "It will be passed down through the ages from person to person: 'The
       seven stars arose from the East to save the country of the king who
       lives in the Chamber of the Sun.'..."

 Dart: "It was my pleasure, Your Majesty."

 King Zior: "That's enough for formality!! We are having a banquet for you!
            Please enjoy yourself!!"

 Meru: "Is a 'Banquet' a party?!!"

 King Zior: "Plainly speaking yes, it is!!"

 Meru: "Cool!! It's a party!! A party for us!!"

 Shana: "Oh Meru! Behave and be quiet!"
 
 King Zior: "Haa Haa Haa! She is cheerful and excited!!"

 Emille: "We still have time before the party. Please feel free to relax."

 King Zior: "Let us prepare for the banquet!!"

[Back in the lobby...]

 Dart: "It seems we can relax for the first time in a long time, tonight."

 Albert: "I think so too... We have to leave here tomorrow. It is a good chance
         to relax."

 Shana: "Mille Seseau... The country where Dart was born... We'll be busy
        again..."

 Meru: "I'll be walking around till the party starts!"

[Everyone starts to do their own thing.]

 Dart: "Hey... Where are you going!?"

 Haschel: "I have an errand to do."

 Rose: "Are you going too, Rose?"

 Albert: "Let me go too. You have to appreciate what everyone did."

 Shana: "Why don't we go out too?"

[Shana and Dart talk on the between-towers bridge.]

 Shana: "I love you, Dart. Since I was little... It never changed, even when
        you went on your journey, Dart. Actually, I started to love you even
        more... Because while you were gone, I was thinking about you every
        single day..."

 Dart: "Shana..."

 Shana: "So, I don't mind being your baby sister. Because I can be with you
        everyday... That's just how I think."

 Dart: "I... I...don't think of you as my baby sister, Shana. I..."

 Shana: "Let's continue this after our journey is over...all right?"

[Fester interrupts the almost-kiss (grr!)]

 Fester: "Dart! Welcome back! What's wrong? You have such a sour face."

 Dart: "You, you think so?"

 Fester: "Anyway! You are famous in the city! The hero who defeated the dragon
         that descended down on Tiberoa!"

 Dart: "If you say so... It still doesn't feel like it's real."

 Fester: "It's your modest attitude! You are our times' latest hero!"

 Dart: "Um..."

 Fester: "By the way, the party is starting! Get rid of your sour face. And be
         happy! See you later."

[He leaves and this time Libria interrupts an almost-kiss.]

 Libria: "Oh!? Mr. Dart! Miss Shana! Why are you here!?"

 Dart: "We are waiting for the party to start..."

 Libria: "It's starting soon! Please get everyone or I cannot prepare the
         dresses! I'll see you later!"

[She leaves.]

 Shana: "I am going to look for everybody."

 Dart: "Wait!"

[Dart finds Albert in Emille's room]

 Albert: "Do you know about the Legend of the Mermaid?"

 Emille: "No.... Please tell me about it."

 Albert: "The king of some country is gazing out over the waves of the sea and
         thinking his life is hollow, just like the vanishing bubbles.
         Everything looked like that because the king didn't know true love.
         Under the waves, a mermaid was thinking the same thing while gazing
         at the clouds in the sky."

 Emille: "Oh my... And what happened to the two of them?"

 Albert: "Would you like to know? This is a secret story handed down only
         within the Serdio royal family, so...I cannot tell you anymore. Oh...
         I'm sorry I cannot go on."

 Emille: "Oh! You are teasing me!" *Chuckle*... "But I am having a fabulous
         time. I didn't notice the passing of time when I'm talking with you."

[Dart enters.]

 Dart: "I knew it, you are here...."

 Albert: "Is something wrong?"

 Dart: "The party is starting soon. So I am calling everybody down."

 Albert: "It's already that time. Unfortunately, I have to leave you."

 Emille: "When can we meet again?"

 Albert: "When the stars fill the sky...."

 Dart: "You can simply say 'tonight'."

 Emille: "At the party...."

[In the kitchen...]

 Meru: "Just a peek is fine! I wanna see the party food!"

 Haschel: "We are not going to eat now. We just want to sample the food..."

 Maid: "That is eating! Come on! Please get out! You are delaying the
       preparation!"

[Both get booted outta the kitchen.]

 Maid: "Mr. Dart! Please stop them!"

 Haschel: "Wars never choose their time. You have to eat whenever you can. That
          is a basic understanding for a warrior!"

 Meru: "You wanna eat too, don't ya Dart?"
       R1 -> Me too!
       R2 -> The party is starting soon.

       R1: "Me too!"

           Shana: "Stop it! You are not a kid anymore! You too Haschel! The
                  party is starting soon. Behave yourself!"

           Meru: "Is that true?"

           Haschel: "Why didn't you say so!"

           Dart: "Y, Yes! I'm here to tell you that!"

           Meru: "C'mon. Let's go!

       R2: "The party is starting soon. You can eat as much as you want then,
           right?"

           Meru: "Is that true?"

           Haschel: "Why didn't you say so!"

           Dart: "I'm here to tell you that."

           Meru: "C'mon. Let's go!

[Rose is in the guest bedroom.]

 Rose: [I am...a hero... He would laugh at me...] *Chuckle*... [...!? I...
       laughed now... ...I did laugh... Since I have started to wear this
       choker... I have not laughed...for years...] *Chuckle*... [It was worth
       the wait...]

 Dart: "Oh, you are here. I'm here to tell you that the party is starting."

 Rose: "It'll be a fun party."

[Kongol is in the knights' training area using his axe.]

 Kongol: "Kongol has friends. Friends of different species."

 Dart: "Not bad. Whoa!!"

 Kongol: "Don't do that."

 Dart: "That's what I should say!"

 Kongol: "Did you hear Kongol speaking?"

 Dart: "Not really... By the way, the party is starting."

[All allies are collected!]

 Dart: "Everybody's here. By the way, she was saying something about dresses,
       but where should we go...? We have to ask Libria about it...."

[Libria's near the training center.]

 Libria: "It seems everyone is here. Miss Shana, Miss Rose, and Miss Meru,
         please come this way... You have to change into the dresses."

 Shana: "Dresses? You are talking about us?"

 Libria: "Yes I am. Princess Emille and Princess Lisa insist."

 Dart: "Good for you."

 Meru: "No thanks."

 Dart: "It's not like you."

 Meru: "Cuz, I'm a dancer. I can't dance well in those dresses."

 Rose: "No thanks for me either. I feel naked without my sword."

 Libria: "Please wait in the living room. I will come and take you there later.

[Everyone lounges in the guest quarters for awhile.]

 Libria: "Everything is ready. Please proceed to the Chamber of the Sun."

[In said chamber...]

 King Zior: "This is a banquet to honor the seven heroes who saved Tiberoa!!
            Please enjoy yourselves to the utmost!!"

[Haschel stands alone.]

 Woman in Red Dress: "Mr. Dart!"

 Woman in Blue Dress: "Wait for us!"

 Woman in Red Dress: "You must be Mr. Dart! I am dying to hear your story..."

 Woman in Blue Dress: "Oh, excuse me, but monopolizing him is not fair. Please
                      let me hear your story too."

 Woman in Red Dress: "I would like to know more about you."

 Woman in Blue Dress: "Oh my! Don't be so fresh with him! I talked to him
                      first! Oh... You must be Mr. Haschel..."

 Haschel: "I'll take care of things here. Why don't you go enjoy yourself
          with Shana. At least tonight, you have to make good use of the time
          the two of you are together."

 Dart: "Thank you."

[Kongol stands alone.]

 Kongol: "What did you do to Shana?"

 Dart: "Do...? I didn't do anything."

 Kongol: "No Shana here."

 Dart: "No!?"

 Kongol: "Kongol tall. Kongol doesn't see from here."

 Dart: "Where is she...?"

[Meru is dancing all around.]

 Dart: "Are you enjoying yourself?"

 Meru: "Yup! It's fun! Are you gonna dance too!?"
       R1 -> I'll try.
       R2 -> No thanks.

       R1: "I'll try."

           Meru: "Right on!"

           [They start dancing together.]

           Meru: "Where is Shana?"

           Dart: "I don't know."

           Meru: "Go look for her. She should be waiting for ya. Come on! Go!"

       R2: "No thanks."

           Meru: "Don't say that! You gotta totally enjoy yourself tonight!!"

           Meru: "Where is Shana?"

           Dart: "I don't know."

           Meru: "Go look for her. She should be waiting for ya. Come on! Go!"

[Albert is talking with Emille.]

 Albert: "I have to go to Mille Seseau with Dart."

 Emille: "I'll wait for you... I'll wait for you forever."

 King Zior: "Emille! Well said! The future of Serdio and Tiberoa is shining
            like the sun!"

 Albert: "I believe love is the only entity that never changes over time."

 Emille: "And distance makes the love grow deeper."

 King Zior: "I cannot watch this anymore! What's wrong...you have a long face?"

 Albert: "...If you are looking for Shana, she is not here."

[After talking to everyone:]

 Libria: "Mr. Dart! Miss Rose needs you. This way..."

[On the balcony...]

 Dart: "Rose...?"

 Rose: "Dart... Why are you procrastinating like that? Do you want her to
       catch a cold or something? Making her wait all night like that? She's
       over there."

[Shana is all dressed up nearby.]

 Dart: "You look beautiful..."

 Shana: "Thank you. But...it's all thanks to this dress."

 Dart: "That's not true."

 Shana: "Look! A falling star! I wonder if my wish will come true?"

 Dart: "It will. Because... I wished the same thing..."

[They kiss and the disc ends.]
