----------------------------------------------------- Phantasy Star IV Complete Script - Part Two Wreckage through Nurvus compiled by Mike Ripplinger ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- WRECKAGE ----------------------------------------------------- (Alys, Chaz, Hahn, Gryz, and Rika reach the control room.) CHAZ: This...there're lights flashing. RIKA: I know what it is. Move over, Chaz! (Alys and Rika trade places.) ALYS: Wow, pretty impressive. RIKA: It's a pretty hard security code to break, but...there! We can now access the main computer's memory! (The screens light up, and on one of them they see one of the massive Palman world ships.) CHAZ: What's this? RIKA: Look! It says that this is the space ship that escaped from Parma a thousand years ago! CHAZ: What! Really?! But...Parma exploded a thousand years ago!? RIKA: Oh, you know about that? CHAZ: Yes...I learned about it at the academy. RIKA: Parma, the first planet of the Algo solar system, was destroyed in AW 1284 when the artificial satellite, Gaira, crashed into it... Today, the only vestige of Parma is the asteroid belt. CHAZ: But there were people that were able to escape! RIKA: According to the records... just before the explosion, some people were able to escape... This space ship was damaged and became trapped in orbit around Motavia. They floated around in space until all the humans aboard died. But the computer was able to sustain itself with its self-repairing mechanisms. CHAZ: They all...died? RIKA: According to the flight chart... the orbit slowly decayed over the last thousand years... the ship finally crashed here! CHAZ: Then...that means all the Parmanians perished?! RIKA: Wait... This is not the only ship that escaped from Parma! It seems that other similar ships were able to escape successfully. Most of them landed either in Motavia or Dezolis, but it looks like some of them went right out of the Algo solar system. I can't get an accurate number, but it looks like some tens of ships. CHAZ: ...So they're still continuing their flight... somewhere in the universe... Examine control panel: CHAZ: This must be a space ship that escaped from Parma... ----------------------------------------------------- AIEDO ----------------------------------------------------- Guards: - This is Aiedo, a fluid town. All kinds of things flow in and out, from all over the place. Why, if it isn't Alys. Welcome home! Townspeople - Men: - Hey, Alys! You look just as beautiful as usual. With your hair fluttering in the wind... You're one attractive woman! Well, see you later! (The man runs away.) HAHN: Wh...what was that all about? What a geek! GRYZ: Maybe he's being forced to say those things. ALYS: Hey, you guys over there! What are you talking about? - In the middle of town is a market. Behind it is the Hunter's Guild. Isn't it a big town? - I've come from Zema to peddle my wares, but... Look at this town! It's already got a pretty impressive marketplace! But I still have to sell the wares I brought. Otherwise, I'll be too embarassed to go home! - There are a lot of hunters in this town so it's kind of dangerous, but, on the other hand, we're safe if any monsters appear. There are some benefits to having all these hunters here! Townspeople - Women: - There are two weapons and armor stores in this town. If you want good quality stuff you'd better go to the store near the Hunter's Guild. Oh, it's you, Alys. I don't need to tell you all this. - The fortune-teller named Mito is one of the best. Like last time, she was right on the money about where my husband was stashing his secret savings! Hunters: - I'd say that 'Alys the Eight Stroke Sword' is the most skilled fighter in these parts. ALYS: Didn't I tell you to quit calling me that? It's totally ridiculous! HAHN: Yeah, it certainly is! Ooops! Alys, why are you hitting me?! ALYS: Hmmph! - I'm a hunter, but I haven't been able to find work lately. That's because there's some woman called Alys who's getting all the work. Hey, well if it isn't Alys. Why don't you send some work my way once in a while? ALYS: Don't talk rubbish! Work is not something that gets sent to you. You have to go out and get it! Man in House: - I recently moved here from Nalya. My wife went to the market and hasn't come back yet. What is she doing? Woman in House: - Our pet dog is missing. We've searched this town from one end to the other. It pains me to see the children so crestfallen. Man in House: - I can't even go looking for him, I'm so afraid. There are monsters roaming outside the town. There's the option of asking for help at the Hunter's Guild, but would there be a hunter who would go find a dog? Girl in House (Tinkerbell): - 'Rocky'... That's my dog's name. I wonder where he could have gone off to? Men in tavern: - It was really scary last time. A formidable army rushed past Aiedo. Brrrr. Can't go without a drink. - There's a bar in the Hunters' Guild, too. But that's a place where hunters congregate. Regular people are too afraid to go in there. - Ahem! There's no one to hear me even if I cough. Boy, it's lonesome... Woman in tavern: - I feel safe here because we don't get too many suspicious-looking people! Bartender: - Oh Alys, what a rare surprise to see you here. If you came here to see me, I welcome you heartily. ALYS: Hee hee, maybe I'll have you treat me again next time. Mito the Fortune-Teller: (First time) - Oh, it's you, Alys, Thanks for everything the other day. For you I'll tell you your fortune for free... heh, heh... Ah... No...don't... I...I don't seem to be in good shape today. Come back some other time. (Subsequent times) - Sorry, but we're closing shop for the day. Examine crystal ball: CHAZ: The crystal ball is emitting a strange kind of glow... Old Man in House: - That piece of slime who eloped with my daughter! It still makes me mad when I think about him! Old Woman in House: - It seems like the town of Nalya is in some kind of trouble. I wonder if my daughter is doing all right? I'm so worried. Come on, stop sulking. We should invite her over. Woman in House: - It sounds glamorous to live in such a big town, but we do get a lot of undesirable hunter types, what with the guild and all. It's not a very good thing in terms of giving a child an education. Girl in House: - I don't want to. Boy in House: - Hey, wait, you little brat! Old Woman in House: - Ah, Alys, thank you for giving me that food you cooked the other day. It was all delicious. I'll wash the containers and return them to you. HAHN: You can cook, Alys? GRYZ: People are so unpredictable! ALYS: Oh, cut it out. What's the big deal? Man in House: - That's strange... I could have sworn that I put it away in here... Hey! My secret sav... (Man turns and sees the group.) Yikes! What the heck are you guys doing here?! Don't you have the decency to at least knock?! (Group enters Alys and Chaz's house) ALYS: Ah, we're finally home! Shall we take it easy for the rest of the day? (If YES, Alys says, "OK, let's be up bright and early tomorrow!," and then the group sleeps. If NO...) ALYS: Well, shall we keep going a little longer? Examine living room cabinet: CHAZ: It's a cabinet that contains Alys's most treasured belongings... Examine kitchen cabinet: CHAZ: It's a cabinet for dishes. Of course it's neat since we're always putting it in order. Examine desk in Chaz's room: CHAZ: The books are left out... ALYS: It's you, isn't it? Examine cabinet in Chaz'z room: CHAZ: This is my own cabinet so I can open it freely! Let me see what's in it... There's a bunch of underwear in here. Examine poster on Chaz's wall: CHAZ: It's a special training workout Alys made. It's pretty strenuous. Examine cabinet in Alys's room: CHAZ: Al, Al al al al, Alys's cabinet! ALYS: What are you stuttering for? Examine mirror: CHAZ: It's a full-length mirror. ALYS: Don't get it dirty, Chaz! Baker: (When in front of counter) - Welcome! This is the Naura cake shop. (When behind counter) - Our family has been running this bakery for generations. We can knead the dough better down here in the basement because of the temperature and humidity! CHAZ: I see. Though, I don't see why you have to keep the store front area down here too. Woman in bakery: - I'm sorry about the inconvenient location of this bakery! Examine shelves: CHAZ: It's kind of dark and hard to see, but it looks like condiments. Man in Marketplace: - This is the biggest market in all of Motavia! Woman in Marketplace: - Oof! I bought so much stuff it's hard to carry everything! Woman with Kid in Marketplace: - Aiedo's market is just as impressive as I heard it was! Kid in Marketplace: - Mommy, I'm bored. Let's go home... Hunters in Marketplace: - We don't have to go all over town to find stuff. You can pretty much find everything here. - What possessed me to buy such a thing? It's kind of frightening how you can't stop shopping when you get caught up in the excitement of the moment! Girls at Marketplace Inn: - We travelled all the way here to shop at the market, but... We used up all our money with travel expenses. Actually, we don't have the money to pay for our rooms, but we haven't been able to admit it, and have kept on staying... Wh...what shall we do? - Say, why don't we climb out that window during the night! Woman Outside Prison: - This is the prison. You'd better not get too close. Prison Guard: - Guarding a prison is no easy job. It's so boring. Prisoner: - Hey, Alys, you rotten...! Thanks to you I've ended up in here! Woman in Cemetary House: - Why, it's Alys. So you're finally thinking of buying a plot in this town? ALYS: Are you kidding? I have no desire to have my bones buried in a squalid town like this! When I'm old, I'm going to lead a relaxing lifestyle in a quieter place! Woman in Cemetary at Grave: - Hmph... RIKA: Chaz, I don't think you should get in her way when she is paying her respects at the grave. ----------------------------------------------------- THE HUNTER'S GUILD ----------------------------------------------------- Hunter outside Guild HQ: - Hey there! How dare you bump into me and pass on without a word? Oh! It's you, Alys! Oh dear, please excuse my rudeness. Hunters in Guild Weapons/Armor Store: - Hmmph, you call that a market! There's nothing that would be of use there! - So many things catch my eye, but even the best weapon is wasted unless it is used by skilled hands. Hunters in Guild HQ "Main Lobby": - Zio? I don't know who hired you, but don't even think about it! Even if you had an infinite number of lives it wouldn't be enough! - This town is relatively peaceful thanks to us... I hear that other towns are plagued with disasters. In one case an entire town burnt to the ground! It's been said this is all Zio's doing. I wonder if it's true? - This is just between you and me... The cave to the north of Aiedo leads to the area beyond the hills. No one who's ever gone into the cave has come back alive! I wonder what is beyond that cave? - Monsters have recently become extremely strong, making combat with them difficult. I'd better thing about a new profession pretty soon! Desk Clerk (when in front of counter): - Welcome! You have come to the Hunters' Guild where we enrich the lives of hunters! The enrollment area is over there! For those of you hunters who have already joined, I'd like to give you information about available job listings. Currently listed are... These are the jobs that are currently offered. Any applicants? (If YES, see specific Hunters' Guild Mission. If YES to an already completed mission, the Desk Clerk says, "Very funny. This incident has already been resolved by our hunters here." If YES to a "Listing Pending" mission, the Desk Clerk says, "I'm sorry to say that there are no jobs yet." If NO...) Please come again to the Hunters' Guild where we enrich the lives of hunters! Hunters in Guild HQ Tavern: - Hey, Alys! You're still as attractive as ever. Why don't you go out with me once in a while? ALYS: Thanks. I'll consider it when you become more of a man. - There's been a big army going in and out of that cave up north. It must be Zio's troops that we've been hearing about! - My, my. Alys's quite a looker, but aren't you a cutie pie too? RIKA: Ahhhh! Ugh! CHAZ: Cut it out, you! Guild Tavern Bartender: - Hey, Alys! The usual? ALYS: Sorry. I just don't feel like it today. I'll see you some other time. Man watching Show: (When dancers face him.) - Cool! (When dancers face away from him.) - Just a little lower! CHAZ: Er... RIKA: Chaz, let's get going! Girls Backstage: - My, I'm so honored that you're here, Alys. It inspires me to do well! - In times like this, those in the hunting profession seem to be doing well. But the monsters have become very strong. Apparently only the most skilled are still in business. That fact is reflected by how painfully few customers there are! Desk Clerk (when behind counter): - Are you insinuating that I'm purposely withholding information about the best jobs? How dare you think that! I swear by my good name that that kind of thing absolutely never happens here! Now please go back to the front area! Examine book in lobby: CHAZ: Hunter journals? I didn't know something like this existed! Examine sign in lobby: CHAZ: There's a notice posted here. 'Do not run on the floor'... Examine sign in lobby: CHAZ: It says 'The guild is everybody's guild. Please use it quietly'... Examine sign in lobby: CHAZ: 'Hunters with the most cases processed: No.1 Alys Brangwin...' Examine stage entrance backstage: CHAZ: There's a notice posted over there. 'General Public May Not Enter!' Examine mirror backstage: CHAZ: What a big mirror! It must be for industrial use! Examine left cabinet behind desk: DESK CLERK: Wait! Don't touch that! Examine right cabinet behind desk: DESK CLERK: No, no! Those are important documents that have been accumulated up to now! ----------------------------------------------------- HUNTERS' GUILD MISSIONS COMMISSION ONE: THE RANCH OWNER ----------------------------------------------------- (Alys, Chaz, Hahn, Gryz, and Rika ask about, "The Ranch owner") DESK CLERK: This is a request from a ranch owner at the village of Mile. 'The sand worms at my ranch have become so big that I'm at my wit's end. Please help me...' That is the message. The fee offered is 5000 meseta. Will you take this job? (If NO, Desk Clerk says, "I see. That is too bad." If YES...) DESK CLERK: In that case, please go to Mile and get more details from the rancher. (The group goes to Mile.) Innkeeper: - Mr. Hunter, I thank you and wish you well regarding my sand worm problem. Innkeeper's Daughter: - Could you do something about those sand worms on the ranch? Ranch Owner: (First time) - Are you the hunters from the guild? The sand worms I've raised in this ranch have grown so big, the situation is out of hand! P...please! Can you do something about it? I won't complain, whatever the outcome is! (Subsequent times) - H...hurry, do something about it! (Group fights and defeats Sand Worm.) Ranch Owner: (First time) - Sigh. And I was finally able to feed those sand worms successfully... The ranch...my dream... Sigh. Thank you. There's no use lamenting about the past. I should make a clean break and go on to the next thing. I'll send your compensation to the guild, so please pick it up there. (Subsequent times) - Thank you. You can pick up your compensation at the guild. Innkeeper: - If we left it the way it was, it would've become a real problem. And at that point, it would have been too late. It may have been a little cruel to the sand worm, but it was the right thing to do. Mr. Hunter, thank you for your help. Innkeeper's Daughter: - My father... another of his ventures has failed. The reason why my father can do as he likes is all thanks to my mother keeping the inn business going. But, I do love both of them, my wonderful mother and my father who doesn't lose heart. (The group returns to the Hunters' Guild to pick up their commission.) DESK CLERK: Good job. Congratulations on dealing with the sand worms so effectively! Please accept your commission fee of 5000 meseta. CHAZ: I'm glad we resolved the problem before anyone got hurt. Too bad for the ranch owner though. RIKA: But he seemed like a person who would not be daunted for long. I'm sure he'll prosper again. ----------------------------------------------------- Return to MILE ----------------------------------------------------- Ranch Owner: - This is Mile...hey, it's you. Thanks for your assistance the other day. I'm in the process of figuring out what to do next. I do look forward to it! ----------------------------------------------------- KADARY ----------------------------------------------------- Townspeople - Men: - This place? This is the town of Kadary. Have you come to visit Zio's church as well? - A church that spreads the teachings of a man named Zio was erected in this town. Devotees come here from all over the place. I don't want to say it in a loud voice, but... it sure is a big bother! - Zio says that the end of this world is coming soon. I wonder if that's true? - How pathetic, a full-grown adult like you crying for Zio! You have to be able to respect yourself before you can respect others, so grow up! - That inn in the back of the town... I used to frequent that place, but recently, I can't go in even if I wanted to... Townspeople - Women: - Did you come by the path to the north? In that case, you must have seen the town burnt to ruins on your way here? It's been said that was all due to Zio! I'm so afraid! Woman Kicking on the Ground: - Oh...Zio, the holy one... Man in back of town: - Excuse me, can I ask you something? Do you believe in Zio's teachings? If YES: Ah, a kindred spirit! Glory be to the great Zio! Purge the souls of the fools! If NO: In that case, become one of us at once. Otherwise, you will be purged by us. Examine statue: CHAZ: Wow, what a suspicious statue! Innkeeper: - I don't like that new church. Zio's soldier stay the night here, but I'm too afraid to collect room charges from them! It's just too much! Woman in Inn: - Among the believers of Zio, there's a saying that goes, 'The righteous do not ignore Kadary.' Kadary is a scared area! Man in House: - What is going on with those guys going overboard with this Zio thing? It just makes my skin crawl! Woman in House: - Why don't we get out of this town? Woman in House: - Our daughter has become a follower of Zio and won't come home. Woman in House: - If it is the fate of this planet to die anyway, we might as well pin all our hopes on this one man. Don't you agree? Men in Inn in back of town: - Huh? You've got some guts to bring a woman to a place like this, eh, Boys? - What's with you? How dare you eye me like that! Don't you know that we are Zio's subordinates? - It's true that I don't have to worry about money to feed myself, but my hands are definitely becoming soiled... I wonder if I'm doing the right thing? - If you follow Zio we can show you a good time, just like this! Bartender: - I've just been running this place like a regular inn, but one day, Zio's soldiers came... They said to just put everything on a running tab, but they never pay up ...boo hoo... Woman in Inn: - Oh my? Such a little boy as a customer? How adorable. I'm going to give you some great service. CHAZ: Huh? Wh... What are you talking about? People in Zio's Church: - It's only we believers that Zio will lead to the new world! - This is a church where we worship the great Zio. Zio says he's going to cleanse this soiled land with the fires of destruction... And then, he's going to build a utopian society populated with only the finest citizens! How wonderful! The thought makes me tingle! - Those ignorant masses living in idleness! These are exactly the people that should be purged at the hands of Zio! - We, the believers of Zio, are the chosen people! - I came here from the Motavia Academy. School work is so stupid! - Zio is at his Fort where he teaches and guides us. How thankful we are to him. - Only after the destruction can we create a new world! - That's Zio's fort which soars just east of Kadary! It is our symbol! It's our castle of hope! - Ziiio! Ziiiio! - No one other than Zio can save us from the uncleanliness of Motavia! Ahhh! Glory be to you, Zio! (The man faints.) RIKA: He's fainted... CHAZ: How...how frightening. Examine altar: CHAZ: I wonder if this is an altar? ...I better not get too close. ----------------------------------------------------- ZIO'S FORT ----------------------------------------------------- Examine energy barrier: CHAZ: It's an invisible barrier. We can't go forward! Examine Dark Force statue: CHAZ: What a sinister-looking statue... (The group finds Juza.) CHAZ: You are... JUZA: I am Juza. You will never get near Zio - unless you defeat me! (The group fights and defeats Juza. Afterwards, a set of stairs appears.) *** CINEMA SCENE LOCATION: Zio's Fort DRAMATIS PERSONAE: Alys, Chaz, Hahn, Gryz, Rika, Demi, and Zio. (When the group reaches the top level of Zio's Fort, they find Demi tied to the wall.) GRYZ: What's that? RIKA: Somebody's been captured... it's Demi! CHAZ: We've got to rescue her! (The group cuts away Demi's bonds.) DEMI: Who...who are you? ALYS: Alys Brangwin and company. DEMI: Thank you very much! You are all injured, are you not? Allow me, it's the least I can do to show my gratitude. (Demi heals the group.) CHAZ: Huh...? I feel strength welling inside me!? DEMI: It's my Medical Power. My name is Demi, and I am in charge of controlling Nurvus. GRYZ: Whew! I heard she was supposed to be an Android, but this is beyond my expectations! HAHN: She's no different than a human being! ALYS: Be that as it may. Demi, can you stop the transmission of energy to the system that's malfunctioning? You're the only one who can do it, right? Yes. I, too, have tried to freeze the entire system, but... ZIO'S VOICE: Go no further. CHAZ: Who's that! DEMI: That voice! It's Zio! (Zio appears before them.) RIKA: Wh...what is this? I feel...this incredible menace! GRYZ: Zio! You son of a...! ZIO: Watch your tongue son. So you thought you would sneak in while the owner's out, eh, you little sneak thief? CHAZ: Take a look at your own evil self before you dare put us down! Think about all you've done! ZIO: Hmmph. So I've wrought damage to Motavia. What's wrong with eliminating worms? GRYZ: Worms? You dare call us worms?! You...you... I cannot forgive you! ZIO: Heh, heh, heh. Now, now. That's the expression I want to see! A face filled with pain and anguish, begging fearfully for help, a face quivering with anger! Go, on! Get angry! Suffer! Be sad! That would truly be the ultimate offering to me and my great god! ALYS: Your god? CHAZ: Son of a...! Blast! Come on! Let's go everyone! ALYS: Wait, Chaz! Zio! Do you understand what's going on? If we don't stop the systems that are running out of control, Motavia itself is going to become uninhabitable. You must let Demi... ZIO: Total annihilation of life, What a fine thing! Death to all that lives! Destruction to all that has form! That is indeed my desire! CHAZ: That's crazy! ZIO: My god will not tolerate any life forms in Algo! Everything must be wiped out. And I, with these very hands, will do just that! CHAZ: That means you yourself will be gone too! ZIO: If my god wishes that to be so, that is also my wish. HAHN: You...you're out of your mind! (Zio's eyes turn red.) ZIO: Fun and games are over with. Anyone who dares get in my way shall perish. My humble self, who has taken it upon myself to do the wish of my god, shall destroy thee. Oh, the greatest, my one and only ultimate god, Dark Force! CHAZ: 'Dark Force'? (The group fights Zio, but they can not penetrate his magical barrier. Finally, Zio launches the Black Energy Wave at Chaz.) ALYS: Chaz! Careful! Ahhhh! (Alys, however, takes the blast full force.) CHAZ: Alys? HAHN: We're in trouble! RIKA: We'd better make a temporary retreat! CHAZ: I think you're right. (Chaz uses Hinas magic to retreat from Zio's Fort. Standing out in the desert, looking at the Fort...) CHAZ: We...we've lost! GRYZ: Blast it! (Rika tries Gires on Alys's wounds.) RIKA: Chaz! It's no good! Even Gires won't repair Alys's wounds! CHAZ: No! Alys! HAHN: We'd better return to my village, Chaz! CHAZ: Alys... sniff (Chaz uses Ryuka to return to Krup, where he, Hahn, Saya, Gryz, Rika, and Demi crowd around Alys's bedside.) CHAZ: Alys... (Hahn turns to Chaz.) HAHN: I have no idea what these symptoms are... GRYZ: It appears she isn't getting any better. CHAZ: That Zio...there was something different about him from other enemies I've fought! RIKA: She refuses everything. It's as if she's... possessed by some evil power. GRYZ: Damn you! Zio you devil! HAHN: Can we save her if we shut down Nurvus? DEMI: No, that won't work. Nurvus is located in the basement of Zio's Fort! Actually, Zio has erected his fort on top of Nurvus. (Chaz turns to Demi.) CHAZ: Oh, below that invisible barrier!! GRYZ: So we'll have to defeat Zio after all! ALYS: I...if only Rune were... (Chaz and Hahn turn to Alys.) CHAZ: Alys! Don't talk! ALYS: Rune should know... some way to do it. RIKA: Alys, don't worry. We'll defeat Zio somehow! ALYS: Now, listen. With what we have right now... there's no way we can win. We've got to do something about Zio's magic barrier. CHAZ: Magic barrier? RIKA: 'Magic'! That sort of thing should have ceased to exist a thousand years ago! (Hahn turns to Chaz.) HAHN: Come to think of it, Rune was indeed using some kind of magic! Something called Flaeli. ALYS: That's right...so if you can get the cooperation of... Rune...ooo! RIKA: Alys! Chaz, who is Rune? (Chaz and Saya turn to Rika.) CHAZ: Oh, he's a disgusting, conceited jerk! (Chaz turns to Demi.) CHAZ: I hate to admit it, but we have no choice but to ask for his help. HAHN: Didn't Rune go off somewhere with Grandfather Dorin? GRYZ: If he's with Grandfather Dorin... Perhaps he's gone to the 'Ladea Tower.' Because he was saying something about opening the gates to the Ladea Tower. CHAZ: What's the Ladea Tower? GRYZ: I'm not quite sure myself, but I hear it's located on a small island beyond the quicksand in the east. Grandfather Dorin said that something important is there. CHAZ: How are we going to get across the quicksand? How did Rune and Grandfather Dorin do it? GRYZ: That's beyond me. Probably that's where magic comes into play. DEMI: Don't worry. Leave it up to me! There's the 'Land Rover'! CHAZ: The Land Rover? What's that? (Rika turns to Demi.) RIKA: Do you mean to say there's still a Land Rover in existence? DEMI: Yes, absolutely. The Land Rover, is an all-purpose armor-plated car of an ancient civilization! With a Land Rover, crossing quicksand is nothing! If we go to the Machine Center directly south of here, I'm sure we'll find one. CHAZ: A Machine Center? Is there such a place? DEMI: If you come with me, you'll see. HAHN: OK! In that case, let's hurry and get going! (Chaz turns to Hahn, Rika turns to Alys.) CHAZ: Will you stay here, Hahn? HAHN: What? Ah, but... CHAZ: We want you to remain here and look after Alys. Also, you have a cute girlfriend here! HAHN: Er...but... (Chaz turns to Alys.) CHAZ: Alys, I'm sure we'll find Rune! ALYS: Chaz... (Chaz turns to Hahn.) CHAZ: Hahn, take good care of Alys! *** ----------------------------------------------------- Return to KRUP ----------------------------------------------------- TALK: CHAZ: Oh no! Alys is... RIKA: Chaz, let's do as Alys says and find this person called Rune. DEMI: We'll need the 'Land Rover' to cross the quicksand. Let's find the 'Machine Center.' It's located south of the village of Krup! Hahn: - Alys! You've got to make it! Saya: - What on earth is this illness she has?! I've never seen anyone seem to be in so much pain. It's almost amazing she's still conscious. She really is strong-willed! Alys: - Oooo...Chaz...don't look so miserable...ow...ooo! CHAZ: Alys...don't give up...! Villagers - Men: - This is the village of Krup. - This village's most successful citizen is Hahn, the armorer's only son. He's a professor at Motavia Academy. We're really proud of him. Villagers - Women: - Thank you for everything you've done for Hahn. Hahn's father: - So Hahn, he has learnt to say some mighty cheeky things. It seems like just yesterday that he was taking his first baby steps. Hahn's mother: - Dear, Hahn is an adult now. Students at desks: - Since the teacher is gone, maybe I should go to the bathroom now. - Teacher says to study on our own for a while. It's lonely without her. - Yeah, so she's hurt, but Saya is one good-natured person to stay by the side of a hunter that her fiancee hired! CHAZ: Oh. Running students: - Is that lady in the red dress sick? Hope she gets better soon! - Teacher says to study on our own for a while. It's lonely without her. ----------------------------------------------------- Return to MOTAVIA ACADEMY ----------------------------------------------------- Students: - I'm studying history. This planet has bad problems from the beginning. Presently, we have an abnormal climate, soil depletion, and a decreasing birth rate... It makes he pessimistic about the future. - Really, I didn't know Hahn knew such uncivilized people! - Here at Motavia Academy, we search for the truth of the universe. This is the largest research facility on the entire planet. What do you think? Isn't it grand? ----------------------------------------------------- Return to AIEDO ----------------------------------------------------- Guards: - This is Aiedo, --- a fluid town. All kinds of things flow in and out, from all over the place. Why, if it isn't Chaz. Where's Alys? Is anything wrong with her? Townspeople - Men: - Hi Chaz. Isn't Alys with you today? Townspeople - Women: - There are two weapons and armor stores in this town. If you want good quality stuff you'd better go to the store near the Hunter's Guild. Hunters: - I'd say that 'Alys the Eight Stroke Sword' is the most skilled fighter in these parts. Come to think of it, I haven't seen her around lately. I wonder what happened to her? - I'm a hunter, but... I haven't been able to find work lately. That's because there's some woman called Alys who's getting all the work. Bartender: - Children shouldn't be in a place like this, Chaz. Mito the Fortune-Teller: - Is that right? Alys is... I should have forcibly prevented her from leaving... Old Woman in House: - You're talking about Alys who lives out back. Oh yes, she's a good girl! It looks like she is presently working on a pretty dangerous job. She's really kind to children, and when she puts her mind to it, she can do anything, from cooking, to fighting, to poetry! The next time she comes home, I'm going to take it upon myself to find her a good husband! (Group enters Alys and Chaz's house) CHAZ: Ah, we're finally home! Shall we take it easy for the rest of the day? (If YES, Chaz says, "OK, let's be up bright and early tomorrow!," and then the group sleeps. If NO...) CHAZ: Well, shall we keep going a little longer? Examine desk in Chaz's room: CHAZ: The books are left out... RIKA: You should tidy up after yourself. Examine poster on Chaz's wall: CHAZ: It's a special training workout Alys made... Examine cabinet in Alys's room: CHAZ: ...I better not. Examine mirror: CHAZ: It's Alys's fill-length mirror... Prisoner: - Blast! I'll dig a hole in the floor! Girls in Prison (were at Marketplace Inn): - We tried to escape during the night, but we got caught. - We're ex-convicts now. No one will marry us now! Woman in Cemetary House: - It's a fact that not too many people have had their bones buried here by choice. But, we humans, we die when we die. ----------------------------------------------------- Return to THE HUNTER'S GUILD ----------------------------------------------------- Hunter outside Guild HQ: - Hey there! How dare you bump into me and pass on without a word? Oh, it's you, Chaz. Give my regards to Alys, will you? Hunters in Guild HQ Tavern: - Alys sure is one attractive woman, but she won't give me the time of day. I guess she's got a man in her life... Come to think of it, I haven't seen her around lately. Guild Tavern Bartender: - Alys hasn't been coming in recently. I wonder if she's on a prolonged job? It's kind of lonely without her around! Girls Backstage: - Hey Chaz, you sure have guts to come here without being accompanied by an adult! ----------------------------------------------------- MACHINE CENTER ----------------------------------------------------- (As the group approaches, the Machine Center rises from beneath the ground.) CHAZ: Yikes! That scared me! DEMI: Please, feel free to enter. TALK: DEMI: The Land Rover is inside the Machine Center! Let's hurry! (The group enters the Machine Center. After they acquire the Control Key, they enter another room where a Control Panel awaits them.) RIKA: This place is still alive... It has become independent from Seed and Nurvus! (Demi steps to the control panel. Rika looks over her shoulder, Chaz stands behind her, and Gryz stands near the door.) DEMI: A lot of other machines are housed here, but they haven't been used for a long time. They probably need some repairs. CHAZ: I have no idea what these machines are, but this is some place. You're pretty adept at handling these machines. Were you caught by Zio while you were trying to get the system back under control? DEMI: Yes, that's right. Zio is very violent. GRYZ: Very funny. DEMI: Defeating Zio is not going to solve the problem. RIKA: What? Isn't the system being out of control a result of Zio's doing? DEMI: No. The real cause of the problem is that Zelan has been issuing abnormal commands. RIKA: Impossible! Not Zelan! CHAZ: Zelan, what's that? DEMI: Zelan is the central control for the Algo solar system's environmental maintenance systems. It's an orbiting station on the other side of Motavia. GRYZ: Wow. CHAZ: How are we going to get there?! GRYZ: First, let's think about defeating Zio and stopping Nurvus! CHAZ: Yeah, you're right. It's not enough just defeating Zio? If that's the case this makes me worry about... Dark Force! (The floor beneath them moves until the Land Rover is in sight. Demi turns to the others.) DEMI: Don't worry, it'll be alright! I'll start the Land Rover up! Let's go outside. It will be waiting. (The group leaves the Machine Center and gets into the Land Rover.) DEMI: Look at this luster, this massiveness! What a functionally beautiful design! Don't you find it just fascinating! CHAZ: Oh, er...yes! TALK: CHAZ: OK! We've got the Land Rover! GRYZ: Now we can cross the quicksand to the east and get to The Ladea Tower. RIKA: And there's supposed to be a person called Rune there. CHAZ: I don't feel much like seeing him, but I guess we have no choice! ----------------------------------------------------- Return to MACHINE CENTER ----------------------------------------------------- Examine control panel: CHAZ: At this point we won't need any of the other machines, will we? ----------------------------------------------------- MONSEN ----------------------------------------------------- Townspeople - Women: - Huh? You're strangers? You must have a strange sense of fun, to visit Monsen. - I wonder what was behind those earthquakes recently? Maybe something bad is going to happen... - You're going to the peninsula? There's a village called Termi there, but... Because of the quicksand we haven't been able to get there. I wonder if they're OK? Townspeople - Men: - This store's business is booming due to the earthquakes! They're taking advantage of the situation and raising their prices! - Have you seen the Ladea Tower? It stands on the peninsula to the east. - That quicksand was just a small area, but now it's growing year by year. Presently, Monsen is a deserted island on land, with no interaction with any other community. Man near Fissure: (First time) - Th...there've been earthquakes recently... (Suddenly, another earthquake rocks the ground. Chaz, Rika, Demi, and the townsperson surround Gryz.) GRYZ: Ahhhhh! Help! (Gryz spins around, apparently dizzy.) CHAZ: Yikes! Wh...what's wrong, Gryz! RIKA: Oh, I get it! Gryz's afraid of earthquakes, aren't you, Gryz? CHAZ: Huh? Is that true? GRYZ: What if I am afraid? I can't help it! RIKA: Ha, ha, ha! What a coward! (A pause. Then,) GRYZ: Oh, shut up! CHAZ: At any rate, with earthquakes happening so often like this, it's a real problem. DEMI: I'm sure that the Plate System is the cause of all this! (Chaz and Rika turn to Demi.) CHAZ: Plate System? DEMI: It's a system located just north of here which controls the tectonic plates of Motavia's surface. I'm sure that system is malfunctioning! (Gryz turns to Chaz.) GRYZ: Well, if that's the case, let's shut it down! (Suddenly, another townsperson joins them.) MAN #2: What? You're going to stop these earthquakes? (Now, a woman from the town joins the group.) WOMAN: Oh, thank you very much! (Chaz looks between the Woman and Man #2 twice. Then, to the Woman:) CHAZ: What? Er... we're kind of busy... (Two more townspeople join the group.) MAN #3: Please. You must stop these quakes. Please. CHAZ: But... MAN #3: Thanks! (Everyone except the first townsperson leaves.) (Subsequent times) - Oh great, you guys will do something about the quakes? I appreciate it. Woman in House: - At that village Termi on the peninsula there, I believe they've enshrined some heroine of yore. Lemme see...A...Ali...Ali... I think they said her name was Alis? Man in Shop: - Ha, ha, ha. If the earthquake has broken your goods, buy your replacements at this store! Woman in Shop: - I can't believe my husband is taking advantage of our friends! Old Man in House: - My son and his wife used to live next door, but... They've up and left this town, just abandoning us. Old Woman in House: - This is just between you and me. My son's wife, she's one depraved person! Actually, I'm quite relieved that she's gone. Woman in House (Eddie): - There's a crack in the ground right in front of our house. I'm afraid that the children will fall into it. Kid in House (Tallas): - I wonder if you can get to the other side of the planet if you fall into that crack? Man in Inn: - With all these earthquakes, we won't get any customers. sigh. Hunters in Inn: - I'm a traveling hunter. What a mess with all the sand worms around here! Just because they don't chase you if you run away from them, don't get any ideas about trying to battle them! - With all these sand worms... The parents will not let their children play outside... I guess they're just being careful. Woman in House: - Hey, did you see the house next door? I'm scared to death every time at earthquake occurs, thinking when this house is going to be like that one! Examine sign near fissure: CHAZ: It says: 'Danger: Cracks in the Ground No Tresspassing' ----------------------------------------------------- HUNTERS' GUILD MISSIONS COMMISSION TWO: TINKERBELL'S DOG ----------------------------------------------------- (Chaz, Gryz, Rika, and Demi ask about, "Tinkerbell's Dog") DESK CLERK: This is a request from the house where Tinkerbell lives. 'Our household pet 'Rocky' has disappeared. Please find him...' That is the message. This certainly doesn't seem to be the caliber of work for a hunter. The fee offered is 2000 meseta. Will you take on this request? (If NO, Desk Clerk says, "I see. That is too bad." If YES...) DESK CLERK: In that case, please go to Tinkerbell's house and get more details directly from the owner. Tinkerbell's house is in the east section of Aiedo. (The group goes to Tinkerbell's house in Aiedo.) Man in House: (First time) - What? You're a hunter from the guild!? You sure must have a lot of spare...no, no -- I'm so very thankful! The fact of the matter is that Rocky, our daughter's dog, is missing. We searched the town, but we couldn't find him. And outside the town with all those monsters... That's why we went to the Hunters' Guild. I beseech you, help us! (Subsequent times) - I beseech you, help us! Woman in House: - Rocky is, well...tremendously stubborn and kind of fat. That's because he loves sweet things... No wonder he gets fat. ...Would this constitute some kind of clue? CHAZ: No, no, please tell me every detail even if it may seem irrelevant. Tinkerbell: - Let me see, 'Rocky' has good manners and is really cute! Mister, please bring back 'Rocky' as soon as possible! Please! CHAZ: She, she called me mister... It's like some bad luck is destined to occur... (The group goes to Monsen, where they find Rocky.) ROCKY: Woof woof! CHAZ: This scraggly little dog must be Rocky! ("Examine" Rocky again.) ROCKY: whimper. CHAZ: Good boy, good boy. Here's your favorite food, a piece of shortcake. Here's our chance. Let's take him back to Aiedo! (Group automatically returns to Aiedo, to Tinkerbell's house.) Father: (First time) - Oh, thank you! Great job! Only to be expected from a hunter! My daughter is overjoyed! I'll send the agreed upon commission to the guild. (Subsequent times) - Thank you very much. Mother: - Thank you very much. See, my daughter is so happy. Tinkerbell: - Yahoo! Yahoo! Rocky's back! Hooray, Hooray! CHAZ: No wonder he ran away. Rocky: - Woof Woof! CHAZ: Do you like that kind of treatment? (The group returns to the Hunters' Guild to pick up their commission.) DESK CLERK: Good job. Congratulations on a job well done! Please accept your commission fee of 2000 meseta. Please come again to the Hunters' Guild where we enrich the lives of hunters! CHAZ: That was one interesting dog! RIKA: Perhaps... there's a trait that he has in common with you! CHAZ: Don't be ridiculous! ----------------------------------------------------- Return to AIEDO ----------------------------------------------------- Father: - Thank you for what you did the other day. ----------------------------------------------------- PLATE CENTER ----------------------------------------------------- (Chaz opens a box.) CHAZ: What? There's some weird machines here. DEMI: Weird! Don't be so rude. These are spare parts for androids. RIKA: Spare parts? DEMI: Yes, they look like internal weapon units. Let's see...they seem to be in working order. And they look like they will fit. I will install them right away. Will you close your eyes and turn your back? CHAZ: Huh? Why? RIKA: Just do it, Chaz! CHAZ: Oh... (Demi turns around and installs the new weapon.) DEMI: Hmmm... OK everybody, I'm done. Now I'm powered up! CHAZ: I don't see that anything has changed. DEMI: It looks that way doesn't it? Well, soon you shall see. CHAZ: Huh? DEMI: It's the new weapon 'Phononmezer!' I can't wait to try it out! (The group arrives at the Plate System's control center. Chaz, Rika, and Gryz stand back as Demi steps up to it.) DEMI: This is the control center of the Plate System! (Demi turns the system off.) GRYZ: The system is down! Now there won't be any more earthquakes! Hooray! DEMI: Yes, we'll be all right for the time being, But this doesn't solve the problem, you know. The abnormalities will not end unless we shut down Nurvus - and maybe even Zelan! RIKA: Yes, you're right... And, in order to do so...first, we must get to Zio! CHAZ: Right! Examine Plate System control center: CHAZ: ...OK, it's stopped. Good, good. ----------------------------------------------------- Return to MONSEN ----------------------------------------------------- Townspeople - Women: - Ah, this town of Monsen has become a peaceful town. - Ah, this town of Monsen has become a peaceful town. - The earthquakes have subsided and it looks like the quicksand is getting smaller! Townspeople - Men: - Now that the earthquakes have subsided, I'll never again buy anything from this store! Man near Fissure: - I wasn't able to get any peace of mind with all the earthquakes, but how quiet it is now! It's so quiet, it's almost eerie. Man in Shop: - Now that the earthquakes have stopped, no one shops here anymore. Woman in Shop: - This must be divine punishment! Man in Inn: - Maybe we'll finally get some customers now. Woman in House: - You say there'll be no more earthquakes? I wonder if that's true? ----------------------------------------------------- TERMI ----------------------------------------------------- Townspeople - Women: - My, you must be strangers here. This is Termi. This is a village that worships a heroine of yore. - The statue of the heroine is atop that hill. It is said that even the most skilled stone mason could not do justice to her beauty. - This village has a lot of history. Apparently, a heroine came to visit, and took to this town greatly! Townspeople - Men: - You don't know about our heroine? You'll be stricken by divine punishment! She was a great person who long, long ago confronted and conquered the evil wizard. - This is the Hill of the Person of Courage. Isn't it romantic? Perfect for a couple, isn't it? - Oh, the Ladea Tower? That's located south of this village. Come to think of it, there was some other person the other day who said he was heading for the tower too. He was tall and gazed at the statue of the heroine for quite a while. - This heroine of ours is beautiful. I admire her! Man in Inn: - I love this town with all the greenery and the smell of the sea! Here's the statue of the heroine. But with that quicksand getting bigger and bigger... Woman in House: - It is a fact there were a series of earthquakes, but I left home because I got sick and tired of that mean old lady! Return to Monsen? That's a joke! Man in House: - At first, I thought little about moving to Termi, but... Now with the quicksand, I can't go home even if I want to. Besides, my wife would rather stay here. Woman in House: - This heroine of the past you talk about, she put her adversary down by force, right? Only uncivilized people would do something like that. Woman in House: - I can smell the urge to fight in you! It may be a necessary evil in order to survive, but I don't like it! I don't like you guys! Please leave! Man in Weapons Shop: - In the past, a spell binder came to town and taught me to put my feelings in metal. And this is the store that inherited that knowledge. Man in Weapons Shop: - It's been said that the Ladea Tower was erected by the spell binder who came to town a long time ago. I'm sure this story has gotten a little exaggerated. After all, it's an old story. Man in Bayamare gift store: - Are you guys tourists? Won't you buy an Alis-Sword? I'll give you a discount! Clerk in Bayamare gift store: - Come in and look around! This is the Bayamare gift store, known throughout Termi! Examine statue: CHAZ: 'Statue of Heroine, Alis Landale' A cat? I wonder if it's a pet. ----------------------------------------------------- LADEA TOWER ----------------------------------------------------- (On the third level, the group finds Rune.) CHAZ: Rune! So you were here after all! RUNE: You've come, Chaz! Amazing that you got all the way up here with those short legs of yours! CHAZ: Rune, this is no time for jokes! I implore you. Give us your assistance! RUNE: Hey? What happened to Alys? Is something wrong? CHAZ: Well, the fact is... RUNE: Is that right... Such a thing happened... Alys... But let's not be hasty. As soon as we get the Psycho-wand... RIKA: 'Psycho-wand'? RUNE: Yep, I came here to get it. The Psycho-wand is the only weapon that can break through Zio's magic barrier! CHAZ: So...Rune! RUNE: The Psycho-wand is supposedly sealed up in the uppermost level of The Ladea Tower. I haven't got my hands on it yet. I'm on my way to get it now. Will you accompany me? Once you find the Psycho- wand, I will be more than happy to lend a helping hand. CHAZ: OK, OK, I get it. TALK: RUNE: To break through Zio's magic barrier, we'll need the 'Psycho- wand.' RIKA: And it's on the topmost floor of The Ladea Tower? CHAZ: Let's defeat Zio with that wand! And...Alys needs to get better quick! (When the group reaches the top, they find a chest surrounded by four diamonds which glow, creating a force field surrounding the chest.) CHAZ: So, this is the Psycho-wand! RUNE: We can now break the barrier! (Rune steps forward to retreive the Psycho-wand. The force field and the diamonds shatter. Just then, there is a voice...) GY-LAGUIAH: Ha, ha, ha! This is it! I've been waiting for this moment! (The Gy-Laguiah suddenly appears, as if previously invisible, and grabs the chest in its pincers.) GY-LAGUIAH: Upon the decree of Zio I am taking the Psycho-wand! GRYZ: You're Zio's underling!? RUNE: Hmmph, what a brain dead kid you are. Chaz, don't let him get the Psycho-wand! CHAZ: You don't have to tell me that! Stop ordering me around all the time! RIKA: Come on! Is this any time to bicker? It's coming! (Group fights and defeats Gy-Laguiah.) TALK: CHAZ: We've defeated Zio's underlings, but... RUNE: It seems that the Psycho-wand works well against him. GRYZ: Let's get it quickly before the next ones come. (The group steps forward and retreives the Psycho-wand.) *** CINEMA SCENE LOCATION: Roof of Ladea Tower DRAMATIS PERSONAE: Chaz, Gryz, Rika, Demi, Rune CHAZ: We did it! GRYZ: So, as long as we have this Psycho-wand, there's no need to fear Zio. DEMI: You two, is anything wrong? RUNE: Rika...you too! RIKA: Rune... GRYZ: What's going on, you two? RUNE: Chaz! We've got to return to Krup right away! CHAZ: Huh? RUNE: Get a move on it! We're leaving! (The group returns to Krup, to Alys's bedside, where Hahn and Saya still stand vigil.) HAHN: Chaz! Alys's condition has suddenly taken a turn for the worse! (Slowly, Alys opens her eyes.) CHAZ: Alys! ALYS: ...Chaz...were able to... meet Rune? That's goo..d... CHAZ: Alys! Alys! Rune! Can't you do anything with your powers!? RUNE: 'The Black Wave' is not a product of Zio alone. It contains an even more evil power which I can't cure. ALYS: Chaz...don't worry. Chaz... ...Ru...ne... RUNE: I'm here... I'm right here...Alys. ALYS: ...Rune...Please help... Chaz...Rune... RUNE: Don't worry... Leave it to me... CHAZ: Alys... ALYS: Chaz...come here... let me take a good look at you... You've become a honorable adult...before I knew it... From now on... you have to carve out... your own destiny... by yourself... CHAZ: Alys! Don't say that! Alys!!! ALYS: Ch...az...Thank...you... (Alys's eyes close. She dies.) CHAZ: Alys... RIKA: ...Waaaaaaaaaa! (Later, as the sun sets, Alys is buried. Later that night, Chaz stands out on the balcony, staring at the stars. Rune comes to his side.) RUNE: You can't sleep? CHAZ: What...am I doing? RUNE: Chaz? CHAZ: In a far off country, before Alys picked me up, I did some pretty bad things. When I joined forces with Alys as a hunter... I was at least able to earn some money, and live a pretty comfortable life. Everything seemed to be going fine... But now...Alys is gone. Of course I want to avenge her death, but what am I to do? Should I fight? If so, what for? RUNE: Money, huh... Do you really think that Alys was fighting just for money? CHAZ: What? RUNE: Is fighting technique the only thing you learned from Alys? CHAZ: I... (Rune steps back inside.) RUNE: You better think it over! (Later, after Rune is gone, Rika comes to Chaz's side.) RIKA: Hey, Chaz? I'm thinking... it was really a good thing that I was able to get out of the Bio-plant. I've learned so much from Seed. About oceans, mountains, towns, and people! There's a big difference between knowledge attained from studying and actual real life experiences (Chaz appears intrigued but remains silent as Rika peers downward.) RIKA: Like, the smell of the ocean, the blue of the mountain, the bustling of a town, and the warmth of people. CHAZ: Thank you, Rika. (He puts his arm around her shoulder.) CHAZ: I get it, it's OK... (Meanwhile, elsewhere... Rune, too, stares at the stars...) (The next morning, Chaz, Gryz, Rika, Demi, and Rune are assembled with Hahn and Saya at Alys's gravesite.) HAHN: I'm going to return to the academy. I think it's best to report on what has happened so far. I plan to convince the academy to come up with a plan of action. CHAZ: Good. I'm counting on you, Hahn! SAYA: I'm also going to return home. The children are waiting for me. HAHN: Chaz, keep your spirits up! (Chaz steps up to Alys's grave, faces it, then turns to the others.) CHAZ: OK! We'd better go too! *** ----------------------------------------------------- Return to KRUP ----------------------------------------------------- TALK: RUNE: As long as we have the Psycho-wand, we needn't be afraid of Zio's power. DEMI: Let's go to Nurvus in the basement of Zio's Fort...! CHAZ: Blast! Alys...! RIKA: Chaz... Examine Alys's grave: CHAZ: 'Here Lies Alys Brangwin'... Alys... Man with dog (or who was with dog, rather): - That dog belongs to you? Hahn's father: - This armor shop was started in my grandfather's generation. And now it's all over, maybe it's for the best! Hahn's mother: - Hahn...so you're leaving again... Come back and show your face once in a while. Saya: - Oh, that such a thing has happened to Alys... Keep your spirits up Chaz and best of luck. Students at desks: - Oh dear! Your eyelids are red! You were teased, weren't you? - Everybody's mothers are congregating and looking sad. Did something happen? - When the time comes, humans die no matter how old they are. I'm sorry I said such a terrible thing the other day. Running students: - Is is true that the lady in the red dress isn't here anymore? - Hey, where did that lady in the red dress go? ----------------------------------------------------- Return to MOTAVIA ACADEMY ----------------------------------------------------- Hahn: - Hey, everybody. Long time no see! But...it won't work... The upper management of this academy is hard-headed. They're such cowards. They won't do anything for us. Professor Holt: - Hahn... I want to help you somehow but... Principal: - I just don't want to get involved. Please don't come here again. ----------------------------------------------------- Return to ZEMA ----------------------------------------------------- Townsperson - Man: - It's because that investigation team came upsetting things in Birth Valley that we're having problems! ----------------------------------------------------- Return to AIEDO ----------------------------------------------------- USE PENNANT in Chaz's house: CHAZ: Since we have it, we might as well put it on the wall! (Chaz puts it on the wall.) USE WOODCARVING in Chaz's house: CHAZ: We might as well put it on display, seeing that we have it! Examine pennant: CHAZ: This is a pennant I bought at Termi. There's a statue of a heroine on a hill beyond the sea. It also says 'Termi.' RIKA: What a waste of money! CHAZ: It's all right, it's a memento of our trip. Examine woodcarving: CHAZ: This is a sand worm carved from wood that I bought in the village of Termi. Wonderful workmanship! It really makes you appreciate the skill of the artisan. RIKA: What a waste of money! CHAZ: Try to understand the romance of travel. ----------------------------------------------------- Return to TERMI ----------------------------------------------------- Townspeople - Men: - Huh? Are you saying that this guy is a member of your group? ----------------------------------------------------- Return to ZIO'S FORT ----------------------------------------------------- (The group reaches the magical barrier.) RUNE: Everybody, out of the way! ...One, two, three! (Everyone stands back. Rune approaches the magical barrier and destroys it. Demi then stands next to him.) DEMI: Underneath here is Nurvus, the center of the entire control system! CHAZ: Zio! Is Zio in there? RUNE: Chaz, I know how you feel, but... right now, we've got to shut down Nurvus! DEMI: We don't have time to talk about it! We must hurry! TALK: RUNE: We've broken the invisible barrier. Now all we have to do is get to Nurvus! DEMI: We can't abandon the situation with Zio, but yes, stopping Nurvus is a higher priority! CHAZ: Yes, that's true... RIKA: Chaz... (The group descends into Nurvus.) ----------------------------------------------------- NURVUS ----------------------------------------------------- Examine computer console: RIKA: Demi, can't you send an interrupt command to Nurvus from this terminal? DEMI: Impossible! Presently, Nurvus is not accepting input from the outside. We can't even access the system unless we get inside it's nucleus! (When the group reaches the center of Nurvus, Zio appears before them.) ZIO: Well, well... You've made it here...it was to be expected. You should be aware that one step further is the road to your death. I won't let you escape this time! Oh, reverent one! Lend me power! (The group fights and defeats Zio.) *** CINEMA SCENE LOCATION: Nurvus DRAMATIS PERSONAE: Chaz, Gryz, Rika, Demi, Rune, Zio (Zio starts to explode.) ZIO: This...this can't be I'm supposed to be immortal! Oh, why... Why do you abandon me? Dark Fo...Aaaargh! (Zio explodes into white light.) GRYZ: We did it! We've defeated Zio! Yahoooooooooo! CHAZ: Alys! (Demi turns to the others.) DEMI: At this point we're not going to be able to stop Nurvus by normal means. I am going to connect myself directly to Nurvus' system and crack its security. CHAZ: Connect directly? DEMI: Yes, this is good-bye, Chaz. RIKA: Demi! DEMI: Good-bye everybody... Thanks for everything. (Demi walks to the main control panel, which opens to allow her in. It closes behind her and she disappears inside.) DEMI: Access main system... Issue top priority interrupt... (Nurvus shuts down.) CHAZ: Has...has it stopped? DEMI: The operation is a success. RIKA: Demi! Where are you now? (We see Demi inside Nurvus' control center, physically hooked up to the system.) DEMI: I'm in Nurvus' control center. Right now, all the systems that have been maintaining Motavia are halted. Now there won't be any more disasters. (We see thunderstorms across the deserts of Motavia.) DEMI: But with all the systems that maintain the environment halted, sooner or later the entire planet will become barren. We must work to restore the functions of each system as soon as possible! RIKA: To do that we'll have to do something about Zelan. DEMI: That's right. As long as the satellite is sending abnormal signals, we cannot control the system. RIKA: Chaz. Why don't we go? CHAZ: ...OK! Let's go to Zelan! GRYZ: But, this Zelan, isn't it located in outer space? DEMI: Don't worry. An emergency shuttle is available at Nurvus. It's being readied for you. I won't be able to leave here just now. I must stay and perform maintenance on each of these systems. At Zelan, you should find my master, Wren. RIKA: Wren? I know him! When I was at the Bio-plant, I often telecommunicated with him! About half a year ago, I became unable to reach him on the communication circuits. I've been concerned! Please Chaz, let's go find Wren at Zelan... DEMI: Well, good luck with Zelan everybody... Be careful. (Outside, the spaceport appears. The group leaves Nurvus and goes there.) GRYZ: Chaz...I'm sorry, but... (Chaz places his hand on Gryz's shoulder.) CHAZ: I know, I know. You just can't leave your little sister. GRYZ: Exactly. Sorry. *** TALK: CHAZ: We've been able to stop Nurvus, thanks to Demi, but... RIKA: We've got to go to the artificial satellite 'Zelan' to restore the functions of the environmental control system. And Wren is there, right? RUNE: Whatever. Let's just hurry to 'Zelan!' ----------------------------------------------------- END OF PART TWO -----------------------------------------------------
