The ⑥of Four Against Nature
|
A few of you might have been wondering what happened to my runthrough of Tales of Phantasia. ...I trashed the topic and cancelled it. It just wasn't something I was going to go along with in the end. I realized that quickly and it was just...not fun for me. FF4 is much more familiar to me, since I've beaten it at least three times, so I can have a nice, fun run with it. So let's get started!![]() ...After we get through this crap. ![]() I think we all know who made this game by now. ![]() So last time we were wandering in the underworld and--wait what? Oh, whoops. ![]() Theeeere we go. Let's get this not-so-Final Fantasy started! ![]() These would be the ships belonging to the Red Wings, the Kingdom of Baron's elite air-force. ![]() These are the crewman of the ship, and the Captain of the Red Wings: Sean. But because he hasn't gotten his name legally changed yet at the Namingway, everyone still calls him Cecil. or Captain. or Douchebag. Crewman: Captain, we will arrive at Baron Shortly. Sean: Very Well.... Crewman: The captain seems to be going on an emo streak... Crewman#2: Well after what we were forced to do, wouldn't you be? Orders are Orders, but killing innocent people to get the crystals isn't right! Cue Flashback: ![]() I'll sum this up as best I can. Cec--Sean and the Red Wings are sent to Mysidia and get the Water Crystal under any means necessary. Being Mysidia consists of mages with piss-poor defense going up against a trained military force.... ![]() ...They get themselves owned and the crystal is taken. ![]() Of course, Sean isn't too happy about this. ![]() Sean: *Steps forward* That's enough! Crewman: But, Captain! Surely you don't condone what we've done? Sean: All of you, listen well. The raid on Mysidia was imperative. His majesty and his council concluded that the Mysidians and their broad knowledge of Crystals posed a serious threat to our kingdom. For Baron to prosper, we need the Crystals. As soldiers of the Royal Air Force, we must achieve this by whatever means necessary.... Crewman: How drunk do you have to be to believe that? Sean: ...sigh. Of course, they're quickly interrupted. ![]() ZOMG! MONSTERS! ![]() OH GOD WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ![]() ...Oh yeah, they only do like 1-5 damage. ![]() And then they get roasted. ![]() Sean: Are you okay?! Crewman: Captain! We've got more hostiles! Sean: Damnation! Crewmen: .... Sean: ...Just get into Formation Alpha, idiots. ![]() OH HOLY CRAP DOUBLE DIGIT DAMAGE. ![]() Everyone knows flying types are susceptible to lightning! ![]() Sean: Is everyone okay? Crewman: Everyone accounted for, sir. Crewman#2: There have been a surprising number of monsters lately... Sean: Is it some kind of omen? ![]() Unfortunately, Sean doesn't have time to wax philosophical, as the ships are landing near Baron. ![]() And this is the castle! Sean is greeted by another Baron Douchebag, named Baigan. Baigan: Well done! so the crystal is now ours. Sean: The Mysidians put up no resistance. In fact, they were quite helpless. Baigan: Is this pity I percieve? Hmph! Come captain, his majesty awaits! Sean: (Well considering they were mages with defense stats probably in single digits and no weapons, I think I have a right to pity the poor bastards.) Baigan leads Sean to the throne room... ![]() ...to let us wait a bit longer. Oh well, what's the worst that can happen? ![]() ...Oh. BAIGAN YOU ASSHOLE! Anyways, after they discuss about how because Sean is growing suspicious of their motives, he needs to be sacked, they finally let him join in. King: The Kingdom of Baron hails your return! May I have the crystal? ![]() King: So, this is the Water Crystal. What splendor...you may go now. Sean: Right. Sean heads out... ![]() But then gets second thoughts. Sean: Your majesty! King: Yes? Baigan: Captain, what is it? Sean: Majesty, forgive me, but what are your intentions? My men are confused.... King: And you? Do you question my command? Sean: Well, actually.... King: Silence! Dissension only leads to treason, and that I will not tolerate. You are stripped of your command from the Red Wings! Sean: Your Majesty! King: Now, I charge you with another duty. Slay the phantom beast that infects Mist Valley and deliver this Bomb Ring to the village of mist. You leave tomorrow, at first light. Sean: What the hell is the purpose of that?! King: DO YOU QUESTION ME, MAH BOI?! Sean: ...what? King: ..Err, nothing. Just go. Sean: ... Of course, Sean's friend Jeff enters...but everyone calls him Kain because he too suffers from lacking a legal name change. ![]() Jeff: He has done no wrong! King: You insolent cur! How dare you barge in here?! Jeff: You left the door wide open, Your Majesty. King: ...Well if you're so worried about him, you can accompany him. Now take the ring and begone! ![]() They're given the item and kicked out. Sean: I'm sorry, Jeff. Jeff: No matter. The King will forgive us once we complete this mission. We will rejoin the Red Wings in no time. Sean: ... Jeff: Cheer up, Emo Boy! Get some rest. We have some ass to kick tomorrow. Jeff heads out and you're free to wander about the castle. ![]() There's not much worth exploring, but I'll show you what IS worth exploring.. ![]() It's impossible not to come across this room on the way to your bedroom. Come here. It's in your best interest. ![]() The Soldier tells you this, but if you can't see it, just press A right here. ![]() Money! ![]() Ether! ...wait, none of Baron's soldiers, or at least the decent ones (CoughSeanandJeffCough) are magic users. ![]() Sean: Oh, sweet! Now I can go camping! You can choose to go Left or Right from this room. Left is where you want to go and there's no point in going Right...so let's go Right anyway! ![]() Translation: There's something here we don't want you to see. We'll find out what's there later, I'm sure. ![]() You'll need to see these schmucks sometime in the future. For now, ignore them. We take the left path until we're interrupted by.. ![]() Sean: Dammit, my name is Sean! Rosa: Not until you get it legally changed. Sean: *Grumble* Rosa: Anyways, I was so worried! You left on such short notice. Sean: I'm fine. I wish I could say the same for the Mysidians we slaughtered. Rosa: Cecil! Sean: ... Rosa: ..Sean. Sean: mmyes? Rosa: I'll visit you later, okay? Sean: Mm. Right. She leaves, and we head on forward..until we're interrupted again. ![]() It's Cid! But we can't see him cause the textbox is in the way. ![]() See, there he is! He's waving. Say hi. Cid: Don't you ever worry her like that again, you hear? So, how are my airships? I'll bet you and your goons wrecked them up something awful. Sean: ....Yeah. Cid: Hey, what's the matter with you, kiddo? Sean: The King's being a prick. Cid: What? The King demoted you? What about the Red Wings? They'll be a mess without you! What's coming over the King? He's been acting peculiar. He ordered me to build an airship that he can use to slaughter people! Everyone's worried about his majesty... Anyhoo, be careful out there! Make short work of that mission and get back safe. Sean: Thanks. Cid: Whoa, I have to start heading home or my daughter's going to kill me! Sean: Heh heh. Take care. Cid: It's good to see you smile. Jeff says you're turning into an emo boy with all this crap lately. Sean: Figures. He leaves shortly after. We go inside that big tower looking thing...which leads up to Sean's room. ![]() Sean: Nifty! ![]() Sean: ...What? Never seen a guy sleep in his armor before? ![]() Sean: ...possesed. And he'll resort to any means to get them. And yet, I cannot defy him. How could I cross the man who raised Jeff and I like his own children? The Chivalrous knight whom I've admired since childhood. I will not betray him. I won't. ![]() Oh look, more interruptions. Rosa: What's going on? You've just returned from Mysidia and now you're travelling afar to to battle this Phantom Beast? You're acting very strange. ![]() Sean: Everything is fine. Nothing is broken. Rosa: Look at me, Cecil. Sean: Sean... Rosa: Sean... Sean: In Mysidia, we killed innocent people to steal the crystal. It was horrible. I suppose this is my fate as a Dark Knight. Soon I won't feel remorse for my actions. Rosa: You and I both know that'll never happen. Sean: Still, I cannot defy the king. I'm a hopeless coward. ![]() ![]() Sean: You mean the Sean you love, right? Rosa: You're Cecil until you get that name change, honey. Sean: Bah! I'll do it in the morning. Rosa: Sigh...You leave for Mist early tomorrow, right? Sean: Yes, but don't worry, Jeff will be with me. Rosa: That's not very reassuring. Come back to me in one piece. Sean: I'll do my best. She leaves. ![]() Awwww..... Anyways, the next morning, Sean and Jeff meet in the central area of the castle. ![]() Sean: Always. Cue the music! ![]() Sean and Jeff leave Castle Baron and make their way for the village of Mist.... ![]() But first, a little change is in order..... Next Time: Sean and Jeff are now legally known as Sean and Jeff! Edited by Sean, Jun 4 2009, 01:37 PM.

Why yes, I do like snickerdoodles.

I can't count how many times "Cecil" was shouted. D: I have an instant dislike of that name, like I had an instant dislike of the names "Petunia", "Elandor," and "Rosh". They all sound like they're for old people. |

The ⑥of Four Against Nature

![]() Last we left off, we were leaving Baron for the Mist Cave. But first.... ![]() LEGAL NAME CHANGES. WHOO! ![]() And I bought some items. Some potions in the event of injury or a Phoenix Down in case of death (Not that I'll need either, any enemy we encounter here is piss weak....) ![]() Enemies in the Baron Area include Floating Eyes, and they're still easy even without Red and Blue Fangs. ![]() There's Goblins too but they suck, so screw 'em. ![]() Entrance to the Mist Cave is here. ![]() Well, it is a misty cave, so at least it's aptly named. ![]() Oh, there's Goblins here too. They still suck. ![]() Sean: What?! Who's there!? Jeff: I am! Sean: Anybody besides Jeff? Jeff: I am! Sean: *Facepalm* ![]() This was a potion. Guess I didn't need to buy any. Oh well. ![]() ZOMG! NEW ENEMY. Sword Rats aren't that intimidating though, but they can get you with their needles, so they're not AS weak as the rest. ![]() ...I don't even KNOW what these things do. I always kill them before a single one can act. ![]() You can never have too many Tents! Unless you have more than 99. Then you have too much. ![]() More Potions! ![]() Jeff: Could that be the beast of Mist Valley? Sean: ...What VALLEY? this is a CAVE. Jeff: There's a Valley on the other side of this cave, you idiot. Sean: ...Oh. I'm not good with directions. Jeff: ...You're obviously not good at Geography, either. Sean: ^_^; Anyways, moving forward from here will trigger the script for the boss fight. BOSS 1: MIST DRAGON (Yes, that's a link. All Bosses will have accompanying videos. The exit is a few steps away from the boss' area. ![]() And we're outside! To the right is Mist. ![]() What are you waiting for? GO IN. Unfortunately, as soon as they get into the town, all hell breaks loose. ![]() ![]() ![]() Yes, the Bomb Ring had bombs in it. Which are used to blow up the town. WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED?! No, seriously. This just pisses me off because it's so obvious. You're told to deliver a BOMB RING to a town that's not too hard to reach. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS?! This wasn't a problem in the original SNES game where it was called "Package", and was much less obvious of a trap there. ![]() Sean: This is it? This is why he sent us here?! Jeff: We've...destroyed the entire village. Sean: Why would he make us do this?! WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOOOR?! Jeff: *WHACK!* Sean: OW! That hurt! Jeff: You had that coming. ![]() Sean and Jeff go to see the source of the crying. ![]() Sean: What? Jeff: I've heard of people with the ability to summon monsters. Summoners, that's what they're called. (Sean's note: Duh.) Sean: Then...we are the ones responsible for killing the mother by killing the dragon. The girl backs away. ![]() Sean: We...we didn't know that would happen. Jeff: I knew that was going to happen. This is why you don't fall asleep in the middle of class. Sean: Shut up, Jeff. Jeff: Anyways, seems that was the king's wish. To annihilate everyone in this village. Sean: That...can't be... Jeff: I'm afraid so. We're going to have to kill the girl, too. Sean's a bit shocked at that idea. ![]() Jeff: We have to obey the King's orders. Sean: But she's just a child! Jeff: You would defy the king? Sean: Short Answer: Yes. Long Answer: HELL YES. I refuse to continue any slaughter in the king's name! Jeff: I knew you'd say that. Don't worry. I'm on your side. Sean: You are? Jeff: Of course. I owe much to the king, but I will not disgrace the name of the Dragoons. Sean: So you'll join me? Jeff: Yes. We'll need allies though if we are to oppose Baron. We'll have to do it for Rosa, as well. Sean: Thank you, Jeff. Jeff: Save it, this isn't for your sake. Sean: ...? Jeff: I'm doing it to look better to the fans. Sean: Figures. Jeff: We have to leave this place. It's too dangerous. What about the girl? Sean: We can't leave her here. We'll take her with us. They go to negotiate with the girl. ![]() Girl: No! Jeff: We have to go now. Girl: No! Go Away! Sean: What? Girl: I hate you! You killed my mom! CUE BATTLE ![]() Jeff: ...seriously? Sean: She's just a little girl! ![]() Jeff: ...with a very powerful friend. Sean: Oh hell.... ![]() Jeff and Sean: BLARGH! *I didn't catch it in the screenshot but they took about 250 damage each, which kills them in one hit.* The Earthquake winds up separating Mist from the rest of the valley. Sean wakes up a while later and checks on the girl. ![]() Sean: Wait..Jeff? Jeff! ....Jeff! Dammit all, he's missing. Great. I have to get this one over here somewhere safe. Jeff, you better still be alive. ![]() And this is where we wind up. We'll continue on from here next time! |

Last we left off, we were stranded in some place. Time to go wandering!![]() Desert Sahagins. I killed them before they could do any damage. ![]() I got to Kaipo pretty quickly and upon arrival, Sean heads to the Inn to let the girl rest. ![]() Innkeeper: Oh! She looks very pale! Is She alright? Sean: What does it look like, genius? Innkeeper: Get her to bed quickly! Sean: (Something about that statement does NOT sound right...) Innkeeper: She can rest here, free of charge. Sean: Thanks. Innkeeper: YOU, however, need to pay up. Sean: Oh, THANKS. Sean takes her to one of the beds to rest and tries to speak with her. ![]() Girl: ... Sean: My name is Sean. and yours? Girl: ... Sean: I'm sorry about your mother. I understand if you can't forgive me. Will you at least let me protect you? Girl: ... Sean: ...screw it. Sean gives up and goes to bed. ![]() ![]() Girl: What was that? Sean: *Mumble* *Snore* Girl: ... *Baron soldiers rush in* Sean: GYAH! *Crash* Wha...oh. It's you guys. *Walks up to them* ![]() Sean: Wait! General: I am here on the king's orders! All summoners from Mist must be annihilated! Hand over the girl! Sean: ...Hmm... Girl: O_O; Sean: Never! Girl: *Whew...* General: Then you shall die! Boss 2: Baron General and Soldiers! After the beating, Sean checks on the girl. ![]() Sean: Of course. My blade and my tactics will overcome all obstacles! Also, I'm not going to let anyone hurt you. Girl: Promise? Sean: Promise. Girl: ...I'm Rydia. Sean: *nods* Gotcha. The next morning... ![]() Rydia: Let's go, big brother! Sean: ...big brother? Where did THAT come from? Rydia: I've always wanted an older brother! ![]() Sean: ...*sweatdrop* Ookay, whatever. After getting a staff for Rydia, we wander around town a bit. ![]() Wonder what's in here? ![]() ...Oh. Sean: ...Rosa. Rosa: ...Sean....Sean, be careful! Sean: ...I have to help her! Rydia: Who's she? Your girlfriend? Sean: *Blush* Y-yeah.... Caretaker: *Walks up to him* Ahh, so you're Sean, then. Sean: Yep. Caretaker: She has desert fever. In order to cure that, you'll need a rare jewel called the sand ruby, only found in a cave where an Antlion dwells. Sean: Hmm, alright. Let's go monster slaughtering! Rydia: Yay! Caretaker: ...*sweatdrop* We head out of town.... ![]() And head north to the Waterway.... ![]() More Insecticus, who suck, and Flying Moths, which don't suck as much. This is where things start to get challenging. ...Although it's not for Sean, moreso than it is for Rydia, since she's Level 1 and has really REALLY horrible HP. Refer back to my save file from a while back to figure out how bad we're talking. ![]() Also, since she's some 11 levels behind Sean, she's also much slower. Sean got two moves for every one of hers. ![]() And she hits for 1 damage.....good thing she gained two levels in that fight. ![]() And this would be the entrance to the cave. ![]() Gigantoads are a pain in the arse cause they can Toad-ify you. ![]() Fortunately, Rydia knows magic now. ![]() Aaaaaand, Damnation. Rydia got Toad'd. ![]() This is just to note that I changed my formation. The shells are pretty easy to kill with either dark or Thunder on everyone (Which because I ran in here to get Tellah before leveling Rydia up she can't even use due to having no MP. >_<; ) ![]() North from the entrance is a potion. ![]() And a Maiden's Kiss! This'll turn Rydia back to normal. ![]() Killer Fish are easy to kill if you have Thunder...which I don't right now. <_<; ![]() Tent! Yay! ![]() And that's Tellah. ![]() Sean: What's wrong? Tellah: I must get to Damcyan to reclaim my daughter! She was decieved by a wicked bard! We must hurry, for I sense an ill omen! Sean: Wicked? Bard? Are you serious? Tellah: Shut up! Sean: Anyways, you must be Sage Tellah! Tellah: Indeed I am..... ..! That girl! Rydia: ? Tellah: She is a summoner! Perfect, she can help, too! Rydia: Umm...I only know a little magic and only know how to summon Chocobo... Sean: Wait, what? You knocked the shit out of me and my friend Jeff with a TITAN SUMMON. Rydia: ....I was angry and didn't know what I was doing? ^_^; Sean: ...... Tellah: *cough* As I was saying...a giant monster lurks in the lake ahead. That devil even withstands magic. I think we can defeat it together, and I can be on my way. Sean: We're making our way to Damcyan as well. Tellah: Then let us make haste! ![]() Yay! New Party Member! That's it for now. Next time, we traverse the Waterway! Also, some names ARE being kept, but Tellah is not one of them! So before the next update, tell me what you think I should rename him and I will! |

Awesome stuff. Jeff: Actually, I jumped over the Titan summon and let Sean get his ass kicked. Sean: GO AWAY! YOU'RE NOT IN THIS SCENE! Jeff: Up, up and AWAAAAAAAAAAY! Yeah, anyways, as per old man Tellah? He should be Shade. Because that'd amuse me a lot. |

Alright, after a bit of level grinding, mostly to get Rydia to Level 8, we continue from where we left off (Go back to the previous update. I'm not putting the exact same bloody screenshot on here.)![]() We're going underwater! ![]() Damn me and my quick fingers! It was a Potion. ![]() Yeah, sorry for the screenshot right in the middle of combat but it's there to demonstrate Tellah's abilities. He can cast White and Black Magic. Right now he's got about as many spells as Rydia but when we see him again later he has them all. He also has Recall, which allows him to use one of the aforementioned spells he "forgot" It's random though... ![]() And he winds up pulling crap like this... ![]() ...and it actually accomplishes something. Wow. ![]() Rydia is basically the same, although she didn't forget spells, she actually just doesn't know them yet. She can summon though...one thing for the time being, but I can forgive that for now since Chocobo isn't HORRIBLE for the early game. She'll basically surpass Tellah by around Level 12-15, because Tellah is old and...honestly, he sucks. I'm going to say that right here and now. He sucks. After getting a good deal into the cave, you'll reach a save point. Tellah explains how to use it and offers to use his tent, so..whoo! free healing! ![]() ![]() Sean and Tellah start talking in the middle of the night. Sean: She's a summoner from the Village of Mist. Tellah: She holds great potential. With Proper Training she'll be able to master many spells. Look at her. What a cute face... Sean: You're getting creepy now. Tellah: ...I was about to say "She reminds me of Anna when she was that age." Sean: ...Oh. Who IS Anna, anyway? Tellah: My Daughter. She eloped with a Bard to Damcyan because...I didn't consent to their union. Sean: Ah... Tellah: What business do you have in Damcyan? Sean: My girlfriend suffers from desert fever. Tellah: Ah, so you're trying to obtain the Sand Ruby. It won't be easy to obtain. Sean: I'll manage. Tell me about the monster we're going to face. Tellah: A Vicious creature with eight huge tentacles. Sean: ....I'll warn Rydia to stay far away, then. Tellah: Huh? Why? Sean: ...Nevermind. Tellah: We have to get to Damcyan before it's too late... Sean: Why? Tellah: I don't know. I just pray my instincts are wrong.... Eventually they decide to get some rest and everyone wakes up the next morning. ![]() Let's rock! ![]() Sean: Ooh, shiny! Here, Rydia. This is your new weapon. Rydia: Yay! ![]() These are Zombies. Note here how Sean does 1 damage to them. Sean's weapons are dark elemented, so anything with a dark element won't even be scratched by his weapons. I usually avoid them because they're a pain in the arse. ![]() More potions! ![]() Something you should be aware of, if you run, there's a chance you'll drop some money behind. Usually not enough to matter, but it's noteworthy. ![]() There's a secret passage here. ![]() Rydia: Oh, it's pretty! Sean: Here you go. Tellah: HEY! Why does SHE get all of the equipment? Sean: You're a subpar party member and you're leaving the party soon? Tellah: ...Fourth Wall breaking aside, are you sure there isn't some OTHER reason? Sean: Piss off, Old Man. I have a girlfriend already and besides, I dig older women. Rydia: ...? ![]() Red Mousse. Physical attacks are essentially worthless. Go for spells. ![]() DNOSDGBSDO....HATRED. The Sahagins aren't an issue, but the Tiny Mages can burn in hell. If you use spells, not only do they do 1 damage, the mages cast Osmose. Granted, sometimes they'll cast it on Sean, who has 0 MP, but when it connects with a mage, it hurts. If you physically attack, it uses Hold. It's just a pain in the ass. ![]() Money! ![]() Bomb Fragments cast a free Fire (free as in no MP, the item will fade afterwards) ![]() Ethers are hard to come by early game, so use them sparingly, but don't hoard them. You can eventually buy them and they aren't THAT expensive. ![]() Antarctic Wind casts Blizzard for free. ![]() Watch out for Alligators. They can attack twice in a row and can hurt. ![]() Hourglasses do..something. I forgot. I don't use them. I think they cast Slow on an enemy. ![]() Sean: Why, Hello there! Tellah: There was a dark sword in this cave...?! DAMMIT! Sean: Doesn't matter. You can't wield them anyway. But I will gladly take this new sword. ![]() Tellah: Use a tent if you must. I do, since I'm lacking a bit in MP and there's no point in wasting Ethers. ![]() ![]() Sean: I am NOT jumping down the waterfall. Tellah: Too Bad. *Drags him down* Rydia: Wheeee! ![]() Sean: ...Fuck my life. ![]() Sean: BLARGH! ![]() Sean: *Cough, cough!* I hate everything. Tellah: What's the problem? Can't swim? Rydia: Hee hee, Sean can't swim! Sean can't swim! Sean: I actually can swim quite well...just not in HEAVY FRICKIN' ARMOR! ![]() You can find the Hades set here. (I couldn't find the Hades Shield so it's either not here or I missed it.) I suggest you try to get it. Sean doesn't get much equipment as a Dark Knight so every little bit helps. ![]() Hermes Shoes, I believe, Cast Haste. ![]() ![]() More of the Hades set. ![]() And we finally make it to the boss! BOSS 3: OCTOMAMMOTH ![]() After that, we go outside! ![]() Onwards to Damcyan! ![]() ....Oh. Crap. Damcyan got exploded. Let's check the damage. ![]() ...This castle has seen better days. ![]() So have the people here... ![]() Sean: Hey! A tent! It wasn't a total loss after all! Tellah: You're a bastard, you know that? Sean: Never said I wasn't. Tellah: Touche. ![]() Oh hell. ![]() ....A bard comes in, presumably Anna's fiancee, and Tellah lashes out at him. BOSS...err...about that... ![]() Anna: Oh, Father...Edward is the Prince of Damcyan...Forgive him, father, for running away....but I love Edward. Still, I knew I couldn't find happiness without your consent, I was on my way home when... Edward: We were attacked by Baron's Red Wings, led by Golbez. Sean: Wait, wait, huh? I'm was the leader of the Red wings up until some three days ago, and I haven't heard of any Golbez. Edward: I have no idea, but his power is incomparable. Sean: What did he want? Edward: Damcyan's crystal. They spared nobody to get it. My mother...my father..even Anna shielded me from their arrows. Sean: Wait, ARROWS? I saw them BLOW UP THE ENTIRE FREAKIN' CASTLE. Tellah: Anna...you love him enough to give up your own life? Anna: Father, forgive me... Edward: I love you..... Anna dies right around here. ![]() Edward: He just came into Baron one day and took control of the Red Wings. He leads them in their quest to plunder the crystal. ...*sob* Anna... Tellah: Stop your whimpering! That won't bring Anna back! ....Golbez of Baron, I swear I'll kill you with my own two hands! Tellah starts to rush out. ![]() ![]() He casually knocks Sean over to the side. Why couldn't he demonstrate power like that during the boss fight?! ![]() Rydia: Stop crying! You're a grownup! You're not supposed to cry! I lost my mom...but I'm not going to cry anymore! Sean: Rydia...(wow, a little girl has to give a pep talk to a grown man. This is...pretty sad.) Edward: I don't care! I'm staying here with Anna! I'm not leaving her side! ![]() Sean: EDWARD! CLENCH YOUR TEETH! Edward: Wha--*POW!* ARGH! Sean: You're the rightful ruler of Damcyan now, so start acting like it! You owe it to your people and to Anna! Your majesty, My name is Sean, and I need your help. Edward: What? Sean: My girlfriend is suffering from Desert fever in Kaipo. I need to get the Sand Ruby to help her. Can you help me? Edward: ..What is her name? Sean: ...Rosa. Edward: She is very dear to you, isn't she? Sean: Of course. Edward: Like Anna was to me....You can find the Sand Ruby in the Antlion Cave, which lies to the east. The Ruby forms from the fluid that the Antlion secretes when it lays eggs. Rydia: Eww.... Sean: Srsly. Edward: We must cross the shallows with our hovercraft to reach the cave. After that, we can use it to quickly get to Kaipo. Let us be on our way. Edward Joins the Party! ![]() And after one last farewell to Anna, we set off! ![]() Next time, we go to the Antlion Cave! |
