Happy Birthday Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	I was wondering why the ship seemed so busy today. Until I found out it was your birthday, that is. Everyone is preparing to show their captain a day to remember. Hm. I'm not sure what to say, but... Ahem... Singularity... No. (Captain). Happy birthday. I never thought the day would come when I would say those words to a mortal. Let us grow together. I remain under your care and tutelage.
2	✔	This is your second birthday since I've accompanied you on this journey, Singularity. Time can be truly fleeting. You've grown so much more mature since then. Hahah, I assure you I am not trying to curry favor—it would not be in my nature to do so. I merely speak the truth. Anyhow, is there anything I can get you, Singularity? Today is a momentous occasion. I'd like to commemorate it with a gift for you. Especially since we are among friends now, please don't hesitate to speak your wishes. I promise to do my utmost to meet them!
3	✔	Happy birthday, Singularity. Despite your young age, you prove to be a spectacular captain. I feel as if I can depend on you for anything without needing to worry. I suppose that is what they call trust. No matter what trials may stand in the way of our journey, know that I will continue to accompany you, Singularity. After all, Estalucia is no longer only your destination—it is the destination for all of us!
4	✔	Looking back, our days have been filled with trial after trial. But they proved to be trials that pushed you to ever further heights. Haha, perhaps I'm stating the obvious. However, it is important to take into account the many view points that may differ from your own. It's a vital part of maturing and broadening your horizons. I'll be here, watching over your progress. Singularity, I wish you a happy birthday.
5	✔	Today marks the day of your birth. In other words... Happy birthday, Singularity! Compared to when we first met, you have grown so much. One could almost mistake you for another person, given the resolute and dependable captain you are now. Perhaps it's only natural to mature with time. Still, your progress should be celebrated! Haha, there's no need to be so humble. Or do you not realize it yourself? Regardless, I speak the truth. The journey ahead will no doubt be perilous, but I swear I shall serve you and the crew with all I have. May we fight together for many more years to come, Singularity!

Happy New Year Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Singularity. This is no time to be sleeping in. We know not when a new threat to the world may arise. We must remain ever vigilant. Now, let us watch the sun rise against the unending blue of the sky! Is it not wonderful? This too is the doing of the primarchs. Since time immemorial the balance of the world has been— Haha. Dozing off again now, are you? Oh, Singularity. Well, I suppose if you weren't this serene, you wouldn't be the captain we know and love.
2	✔	Singularity, happy New Year. May the coming year be just as delightful. So... Have you already decided, Singularity? Haha, must you ask what? I've heard that mortals welcome in a new year by choosing a resolution to follow through with. Yet you've come up with nothing? How will you overcome the many trials and tribulations that await— Or, perhaps, your willingness to stay true to yourself instead of trying to conform to any archetype may be your greatest strength, Singularity. Hm, it seems I still have much to learn.
3	✔	You mean this object called a fortune informs you of your luck for the year... Very well, then I shall draw a fortune for myself. Let's take a look... Hm. Singularity, what does this fortune mean? Haha. Are you telling me I have the worst luck for this year? I see... Hmph! What are you so surprised about, Singularity? It is not the fortune itself that I destroyed! It is the weakness within my heart that caused me to think I could entrust my luck to a simple piece of paper. No. I shall overcome the trials of this year with my own power!
4	✔	So the first calligraphy of the year is reserved for writing your resolution and goals. Interesting. Your strokes are large and bold. How very much like you. Why are you shaking your head? It was a compliment. Your personality shines through the characters. "To Estalucia"... Your goals are the crew's goals. We shall see you there, this I swear. Now that that's out of the way, we should make preparations to depart. It won't do to laze the new year away! Hm? I see. You wish to eat mochi soup before we go. Haha, fair enough. You can't fight on an empty stomach.
5	✔	Singularity! Happy New Year! May this year bless you with fortune and favor. Speaking of which, hold out your hand. Go on. What? Why are you looking at me so warily? You... believe I am challenging you to a competition? Considering the occasion, even I know enough to read the mood and refrain from such behavior... Although if your caution is anything to judge by, perhaps my usual behavior has given you the opposite impression. I must reconsider my day-to-day demeanor. Thank you for pointing it out. I shall work on this over the course of the year. In any case, I asked for your hand only so you could receive your New Year's gift. Please, take it.

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Why is everyone acting so strangely today? Valentine's? I see... A day to make your feelings known. That sounds good. Though two people may trust each other, at times it is important to put that trust into words. Haha. Your kind is fascinating indeed. I have gained yet another valuable perspective to ponder. I thank you.
2	✔	My apologies, Singularity, but if you can spare a moment of your time... Last year, I learned for myself what sort of day Valentine's truly is. I thought I'd try to participate in the occasion myself this year. Without further ado, Singularity, I present to you my very own hand-made chocolate! Hm? Why the sour face? I'm certain I applied sugar... Huh? Too stiff, you say? Sigh... I'll make chocolate so soft that it melts in your mouth the next chance I get! Just you wait, Singularity!
3	✔	Singularity. The long-awaited day is finally upon us—happy Valentine's Day! Haha. Do not gird yourself so. I shall never make tooth-crushing chocolate ever again. This time I have prepared supple chocolate, just the way you like it. Here, please accept it. What is the matter? You bear such a sad expression... Hm. It seems the chocolate was too supple, having become mere chocolate sauce. Ah, Singularity. I feel so ashamed.
4	✔	Singularity, surely there's no need to look so concerned. True, I failed last year, and the year before that... But you have nothing to fear this time around. I have faced reality and come to terms with my complete lack of cooking talent. This is a Valentine's treat from a renowned patissier in town! Doesn't it look marvelous? I had my own sample, and I must say, it tastes as good as it looks. What's wrong? You have an odd frown on your face... What? Instead of a purchased high-quality good, you would rather have an inedible piece of homemade chocolate? I am simultaneously pleased and troubled by this revelation... I can feel my own lips forming an odd frown too.
5	✔	Hail, Singularity. I bring you homemade chocolates. Go on. I promise there's no need to make such a worried expression. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call my work this time a masterpiece. I went through many trials and tribulations to master the art of making sweets. If you don't believe me, all you must do is try a bite. Haha, the sparkle in your eyes speaks volumes. I trust you are satisfied. What a joyous occasion this has proved to be. Not only did I master a skill, but I was also able to see your smile. I'm also satisfied. None of this would have been possible without you, Singularity. For your desire for chocolate, I am thankful.
Gift		Chocolate Fondue

White Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Singularity, what's that pile of boxes you have in your hands? Oh? This is in return for Valentine's Day? Well, for you to be so popular among your crewmates is no surprise. I'd expect no less from the Singularity. Haha! No need to be so modest. You should be proud. I too must grow as you do. I'll be sure to participate in next year's events.
2	✔	A gift for me? Haha. So on White Day, the roles are reversed from Valentine's Day, I see. It gladdens my heart to be able to partake in such an occasion. Ah, what is this ticklish sensation that fills me? I've never felt anything like it. Thank you for allowing me join you on your journey, Singularity. I hope you'll continue to teach me things that broaden my horizon.
3	✔	I am pleased to receive another gift from the Singularity. Thank you. And yet, my own gift of chocolate to you this year was a failure. I still feel the shame. Even if you can pardon my mistake, I cannot. Mark my words, next year I shall make you the perfect chocolate! Haha. New resolutions invigorate us, pushing us forward. I believe this yearly event will allow me to overcome yet one more wall. Singularity. Thank you for dignifying me with this challenge.
4	✔	Every year, I find myself at a loss to your generosity. It is amazing how the captain of such a bustling ship can find the time and effort to give everyone a gift... You are truly kind. More of us could learn from your example... Including myself. I do need to show Master Uriel my own growth too, after all.
5	✔	I offer my sincerest appreciation for your gift. That you thought of me at all is the greatest honor. However... Why did you bring me two? What? One is from Master Uriel? Haha, to think the day would come that he'd give me a present... I'm shocked, to say the least. The other day, I reported to him about all that I had learned from you. Perhaps that is why he became interested in this gift-giving tradition. Hearing about your continued kindness must have inspired him as well. Though I have said it before, allow me to say it again: being able to journey with you has been a gift of its own. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	I heard that Halloween is the day we play with Lost Jack, but... I did not know such a day of mischief existed. Trick or treat? One must trick another if a treat is not given? Hmm. Haha. Fascinating. Oh? Singularity, are you trying to play a trick on me? A futile gesture. Can you not see my mirror-blade barrier? Haha. If you wish to challenge me, fight me in true battle, not with trickery.
2	✔	Rgh, I've been bested... Your remarkable powers of mischief are far too great for me to handle, Singularity... But the true battle begins now. Haha, trick or treat! I will not simply flee from your tricks this year. In fact, I shall assume the role of mighty trickster myself! I pray for your sake, Singularity, that you have your treats ready. For I have more than a few earthen tricks up my sleeve! Mirror-Blade Eruption!
3	✔	Tell me, Singularity. Should I be lenient on the children who come to me with their pranks? Or I should I take this Halloween occasion to teach them the unforgiving nature of this world? I have been pondering this matter since last night, but have yet to reach an answer to my question. What are your thoughts on this, Singularity? Hm. As long as everyone is having a good time, you say? Exceedingly simple, and yet... you are correct. In that case... I shall take this time to enjoy myself as well!
4	✔	How peculiar... You seem to be out of sorts. Is something the matter? I see. So the red dragon and your other friends are conspiring to play a trick on you. Haha! To think the mighty perpetrator of pranks is now the prey being hunted. Wh-what are you doing! It is not your place to bow to a crew member when you are the captain! Raise your head, Singularity! Tch... I wanted to compete in this contest, but it seems my plans have changed. A knight would never ignore a plea for help, after all! Join with me, and we shall mount the ultimate counteroffensive! Mirror-Blade Eruption!
5	✔	So the next challenger is you, Singularity. Mirror-Blade Eruption! You claim to be my ally? I'm afraid I won't fall for your trickery. Many have already tried to fool me today. I'm sure they must have been conspiring together. Which leads me to believe that I am the main target this year. Judging by the sharp look in your eyes, I'm sure I won't be able to pry an answer out of you. However, I prepared for such an outcome—I brought Halloween sweets with me. Now you are forced to give up your tricks, correct? Why do you hesitate? These sweets are delicious! Now open up! I shall feed them to you!

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Singularity, what do you intend to do with all those spheres of snow? Haha. I know what you're thinking. Very well. I accept your challenge! Hm? What's wrong? You seem displeased. Though it may be a mere game, one must give one's very best in all things! What? You understand what Master Uriel meant when he said what he did? Singularity. You must tell me the meaning of this.
2	✔	Singularity, have you noticed how everyone in the crew seems awfully fidgety today? Huh? You mean... Haha! Ah, yes, I remember now! Tonight is the night of the holy eve! What an embarrassing faux pas it is that I'd forget. But I shall make things right. I'll make certain that I'm on time for the gift exchange later today. I'll prepare gifts that send hearts aflutter!
3	✔	Hm... Singularity, I have a question for you. I am noticing an increase in the number of people walking closely together in town as of late. Why is that? The holy night, you say? I don't understand. Is it necessary to flaunt so explicitly to others on such an occasion? Hm? Singularity... Why do you laugh? Hmph, don't be mistaken. This is not the jealousy you presume it to be. I was simply asking a question.
4	✔	Is that you, Singularity? You appear before me with blessed timing. I have a request—would you join me on a trip through town? The truth of the matter is... I am responsible for the shopping today, but I do not wish to go alone. You seem confused. I shall explain. Tonight is the holy night, which means the town will be filled with couples. If I go into town alone, I will attract every manner of pitiable stare! Perhaps I am overthinking the matter, as you say. However! The more time I spend with you mortals, the more I realize how much importance you place on this holiday! Pray cease your questioning, and accompany me through the illuminated town.
5	✔	Singularity, you're acquainted with Santa Claus, correct? Would you mind introducing us to one another? Haha, you need not fret. I have no intention of begging for gifts. In truth, it is the opposite. The more I learn of the holy night, the more I'm interested in gift-giving. Children are the pillars of our future. Is there naught more noble than showering them with presents? I desire to know more of the person who would dedicate their life to doing so. That is my goal tonight while helping Santa Claus with his task. Hm? You wish to help as well? Excellent. This holy night might prove to be our most exciting yet. Now let us be off. To Santa Claus!

An Earnest Disciple

The primarch Uriel asks (Captain) to let his disciple Alexiel join the crew. Though amused by how this master and disciple are polar opposites in so many ways, the crew gladly accepts.

---

The stars twinkle bright, and the crew of the Grandcypher has hunkered down for another peaceful night of rest.

Or so they thought.

When the ship shakes with the sound of thunder, (Captain) jumps out of bed.

???: Hahaha! Singularity. Are you awake?

(Captain)'s eyes open wide at the sight of the bulky man leaning against the wall.

1. Uriel?

Choose: Uriel?

Uriel: Haha. I'd like to thank you again for your help from before.

Uriel: Never dreamed I'd be saved by the likes of a mortal.

(Captain) blinks and stares at the figure, then goes back to sleep—must be another dream.

Uriel: Hey! Don't ignore me!

1. This isn't a dream?
2. Y-you're real?

Choose: This isn't a dream?

Uriel: Hahaha! Do you like my trial that much?

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Y-you're real?

Uriel: Of course! Or would you like a battle to prove it? That ought to wake you up.

Continue 1

(Captain) realizes this is not dream, but reality.

At the same time, (Captain) fears that the primarch's visit could only mean a new calamity threatens the skies.

Uriel: Don't worry. I'm not here with ill tidings or whatnot.

Uriel: The supreme primarch says we need to learn more of your ways.

Uriel: By working with your allies and strengthening your bonds, you gained power unobtainable on your own.

Uriel: So today I've come with a request.

1. Do you want to join our crew?

Choose: Do you want to join our crew?

Uriel: Hahaha! Not a bad idea.

Uriel: But I've got my own duties to attend to. So in my stead—

The ship rocks with another thunderous sound. Uriel winces at (Captain) apologetically.

Uriel: Sigh...

Uriel: I'm sorry. Could we step out for a minute?

Uriel leads (Captain) outside, where a large cloud of dust greets them.

Uriel: Get out here already. And lose the dust!

The dust cloud settles, and from it emerges the figure of a familiar young woman.

1. Alexiel!

Choose: Alexiel!

Alexiel: Singularity. It's been a while.

Uriel: Hey, I told you I'll do the talking.

Alexiel: But, Master Uriel, you needn't have deigned yourself to come here. I could have—

Uriel: It's better if I'm the one who asks for this sorta thing.

Just then, a flustered Lyria and Vyrn come out to see what's happened.

Vyrn: The heck's goin' on here?

Lyria: (Captain), are you all right?

Lyria: Wha! It's Uriel!

Vyrn: Hm? Who's the other one?

Amused by the confusion on their faces, Uriel lets out a chortle.

Uriel: Hahaha! Look! You woke them up!

Alexiel: The blue-haired girl and the red dragon...

Uriel: C'mon and join us. I'll explain.

Uriel beckons the two over and begins to speak.

Uriel: I came today to ask if you would let this one join you on your travels.

Alexiel: I am called Alexiel, disciple of the benevolent primarch Uriel.

Lyria: Disciple?

Uriel: Basically she follows me around and tries to be like me.

Vyrn: Didn't know you primarchs took disciples.

Uriel: Well, it all began on my search for a countermeasure in case of a new threat.

Uriel: I scoured the world for one who could be worthy of the role.

Uriel: It was no easy task. Far and wide I searched, but there were none fit for the task.

Uriel: That is... until I found her. A resilient primal whose powers perfectly compliment mine.

Uriel: Heh heh. Her body's bursting with the power of earth.

Alexiel: When we chanced upon each other, I was made known of the existence of the primarchs.

Alexiel: Finally the connection between the primarchs, primals, and our Astral creators became clear to me.

Alexiel: And I was fool enough to wonder if my power could rival that of theirs.

Alexiel: However...

Alexiel: I was no match for Master Uriel.

Lyria: Oh my...

Uriel: After that, she bent the knee and asked to be my disciple.

Alexiel: One must be strong to protect the weak.

Alexiel: And I believed more than anything that Master Uriel could guide me to the realization of that ambition.

Vyrn: Whoa... Primarchs sure are something.

Uriel: And how could I refuse?

Uriel: After all, I found what I was looking for, and what was the harm?

Uriel: So ever since, I've been training and preparing her in case another threat to the world comes along.

Vyrn: Hm, but if that's the case...

Vyrn: Wouldn't it be better if she stayed with you, not us?

Uriel: Well, I've gotten a little more busy lately.

Uriel: So I'll have to leave her under your care, if only for a while.

Alexiel: Master Uriel has spoken of your great deeds during the last calamity.

Vyrn: A real nail-biter, that one was...

Alexiel: Please, I wish to grow under your guidance that I may be of greater use to Master Uriel.

Alexiel: What do you say? Will you grant our request?

1. Of course!

Choose: Of course!

Alexiel: You have my utmost gratitude.

Uriel: That's the singularity for you. Quick on the uptake.

Uriel: She can be a little... stiff sometimes... but she's got a good heart, just like you guys.

Uriel: Hope she might get a little more flexible after spending some time with you though.

Alexiel: ...

Uriel: But I'd best not get my hopes up.

Uriel: Well, good luck! I'm off!

A gust of wind blows and Uriel disappears in a cloud of dust.

With Uriel gone, Alexia turns to face the crew with a smile.

Alexiel: Companions, as I have been entrusted by Master Uriel, I hereby swear to safeguard you through all manner of trial and tribulation.

Vyrn: Pfft! Ahahaha!

Lyria: Vyrn?

Alexiel: Red dragon. Why do you laugh?

Vyrn: Sorry! Just that he really wasn't kidding about you being all stiff!

Vyrn: I mean, for a disciple of Uriel, you sure sound nothing like him.

Lyria: Hehe. I see your point.

Alexiel: Master Uriel is great in battle and fervent in loyalty, so it is only natural that his actions are at times guided by emotion.

Alexiel: So I wish to support him—compliment his disposition—by always remaining composed and reserved.

Vyrn: Ooh. You're really taking this disciple thing to a whole new level.

Lyria: You and Uriel are like elements balancing each other out! You compliment each other perfectly!

Alexiel: Haha. I wonder how true that is.

Alexiel: At any rate I am in your care.

Lyria: Welcome aboard!

And so the crew gains a new member, Alexiel.

The crew is in a jubilant mood as the seeds of chaos are silently sown.

Back to top

Time to Go Legit

When explosives planted in cargo on the Grandcypher go off, the airship crash-lands on a small island. Faint rumbling of the earth warns Alexiel of impending danger, made evident by the machina soldiers that show up soon after.

---

The crew have undertaken a transportation assignment and are currently en route to their destination.

When they come across a certain mountainous archipelago, however, the unthinkable happens.

Their cargo explodes. This damages the ship's wings and sends them spiraling into the island below.

Lyria: Oh no!

Rackam: Tsk. Not how I imagined today going!

Rackam: Hang on tight, guys! This is gonna get bumpy!

Rackam: Raaaaagh!

With his piloting expertise, Rackam eases the ship onto the face of a mountain and slides it down the rocky slope until they come to a stop at the mountain's foot.

Vyrn: Whew. Thought we were goners for a second there.

Rackam: Everyone! You okay?

Rackam: Sigh. And why the heck do we have cargo exploding?

The crew goes to the cargo bay to investigate what happened.

Bits of food lie scattered on the ground, along with the smell of gunpowder and what looks like a metal device used to track time.

Lyria: We... We were carrying bombs?

Alexiel: Not only that. I believe this was no mistake. Whoever did this, did so with murderous intent.

Lyria: That's awful... Who would do such a thing?

The crew wonders. They'd never seen the client who hired them before; what could he possibly have against them?

The sound of thunder in the distance reaches Alexiel's ears. She looks to the encompassing mountains and furrows her brows.

Alexiel: The elements of earth here are becoming roused...

Vyrn: Huh? Don't tell me the island's gonna fall like with the last calamity?

Alexiel: No, no. There's no need to worry about that. Right now the tetra-elements are still in balance.

Alexiel: However... Singularity, this island is dangerous. We must leave posthaste.

Rackam: Sorry, I'd love to get outta here myself, but I'm gonna need some time to fix the wings.

Rackam: Luckily we've got the materials and the hands needed. I'll try to get her up and flying as fast as I can.

The crew rushes to repair the ship.

However, machina soldiers appear from out of nowhere and surround them.

Rackam: What the! When did these guys get here?

Alexiel: You take care of the repairs. Leave them to us.

Rackam: All right. We're counting on you!

Alexiel: Singularity. Stay sharp.

Together, (Captain) and Alexiel battle the machina soldiers.

Time to Go Legit: Scene 2

When the machina soldiers are defeated, a group of arms dealers explain that they seek revenge against the crew—as (Captain) and company's peacekeeping efforts have been bad for business. (Captain) and Alexiel chase after the men when they suddenly run off.

---

Machina Soldier: ...

The crew fends off the machina soldiers but stays alert for any more attacks.

Alexiel: No more hiding! Show yourself!

Rough-Hewn Voice: Humph. Expected as much from the guys who quelled the calamity.

A rough-hewn man hollers from the shadows, and as if on cue, lackeys step out from behind the scraggly trees.

They look at the relatively undamaged ship and give a sour expression.

Rackam: ...
Wouldn't happen to know 'bout what happened to us, would you?

Rackam: See... There was some scrap metal scattered around the explosion that took out our ship...

Rackam: Metal that looks an awful lot like the kind those machina soldiers were made of.

Heavyset Man: Heh heh. Not a clue, bud.

Rackam: ...
Oh? That so?

From the way the men laugh, it's obvious to the crew that they've found the culprits.

Rackam: Heh. So that means the client was in on it too. We've been had.

Lyria: No... But he seemed like such a nice person...

Alexiel: Why did you conspire to bring us here? Talk.

Heavyset Man: You guys are just the best, ain't ya. Saving the world, ending wars, real heroes... Man, you make me sick.

Heavyset Man: How about you mind your own business and stop ruining ours!

Vyrn: Ruining their business? What're they talking about?

Rackam: Hmm...

Alexiel: You know something of this?

Rackam: Think so... Siero might've mentioned them before.

Rackam: There's a group of traders who sell machina soldiers and weapons to islands across the sky.

Sierokarte: That's right! They've got very good technology, but they never seem to use it for the right reasons.

Sierokarte: They're always spreading rumors about kings and the wars they're planning, regardless of how true those rumors are.

Rackam: So they tell people that rival kingdoms are preparing for war just to get them to buy weapons.

Sierokarte: That's right! But I simply can't approve of methods like that myself.

Rackam tells the crew what he knows of the arms dealers, information that leaves a very bad taste in the group's mouths.

Alexiel: I understand that trading can at times be competitive.

Alexiel: But to cause wars between nations while you sit idly by and enjoy the horrors you have wrought...

Alexiel: It would be another story if you did what you did to protect others, but it is plain to see you have strayed from the path of righteousness.

Rackam: Yeah. What she said.

Lyria: Selling weapons for war...

Lyria: How could you do something so awful!

Heavyset Man: Hah! Hey, people want something and we happen to sell it! That's just business, kids!

With the sound of thunder, smoke rises from a mountain in the distance.

Vyrn: Wh-whoa. This doesn't look good.

Alexiel: Ngh... No doubt that volcano is soon to erupt.

Men: Heh heh heh.

Vyrn: What the? Do these guys think lava's a joke?

Lyria: It does seem very strange... If the volcano erupts, they're in as much trouble as we are.

Heavyset Man: Hahaha! We brought you all the way out to this island. Didn't think the soldiers were all we had planned, did ya?

Heavyset Man: You ain't seen nothing yet!

With those ominous words, the man retreats into the woods.

Vyrn: What? I thought he was gonna do something, not run away.

Lyria: (Captain), I've got a bad feeling about this...

1. After them!

Choose: After them!

Alexiel: Wait, Singularity. Right now we're fighting against time, not them.

Alexiel: As captain of this crew, your priority is to get the ship off this island.

But (Captain) remains adamant.

Adamant that the fiends need to be brought to justice.

(Captain) gives the order for all members to return to the ship and aid in its repair, while the captain goes after the men alone.

Alexiel: Haha... Your sheer pluck reminds me of Master Uriel.

Alexiel: If you're going after those evildoers, then I'm coming with you.

And so as Rackam and the crew repair the ship, (Captain) and Alexiel go after the men.

Time to Go Legit: Scene 3

The knaves about-face and use a mechanical monstrosity to blast (Captain) away. Alexiel saves the captain in the nick of time. And after confirming that the Grandcypher is fully repaired and in the air, she shows the men the full force of her mirror-blades.

---

(Captain) and Alexiel have decided to split up in search of the men.

And (Captain) is the one to find them.

Heavyset Man: Oh, just you, eh? I'm guessing everyone else is busy repairing the ship.

Heavyset Man: Perfect! We just have to take the captain out and the whole crew falls apart!

Heavyset Man: Behold! My ultimate creation!

???: ...

Trees collapse to make way for a giant mechanical monstrosity. (Captain) stands at the ready, sword in hand.

But just before (Captain) takes the first strike, the man interjects.

Heavyset Man: Oho! Not so fast there, Captain! I'll have you know this baby's core is chock-full of explosives.

Heavyset Man: And the ground we're standing on is right above a lava vein!

Heavyset Man: You know what that means, don'tcha? Hahaha!

The men laugh as if they've won.

But (Captain) refuses to be provoked. The captain gives a sigh and lets the sword fall to the ground.

But (Captain) has not given up. In those eyes, the flames of justice still burn bright.

Heavyset Man: Hahaha! I'm glad we're on the same page! Let's see how much pounding you can take!

Heavyset Man: Get 'em!

???: ...

Meanwhile Rackam and the crew race to fix the ship.

Rackam: All right, keep the wing steady. Reattaching now!

Vyrn: Say, Lyria. Is it just me, or is that volcano getting even smokier?

Lyria: Oh no! What're we going to do!

Rackam: No use thinking about it. We just gotta do what we can, as fast as we can.

Rackam: We gotta get this ship fixed and get to (Captain)!

Lyria: Right!

Lyria: (Please be all right, (Captain)...)

But (Captain) is far from all right.

The captain has been able to fend off the machine's attacks for a time, but fatigue soon sets in, and (Captain) starts to succumb to the enemy's blows.

???: ...

Heavyset Man: Aww, where's your ship? Still ain't up and flying?

Heavyset Man: Too bad, looks like your death will be in vain.

Heavyset Man: Whoops... Guess it's almost time.

Heavyset Man: All right, guys! Let's get outta here!

1. You're not getting away that easy!

Choose: You're not getting away that easy!

Heavyset Man: Speak for yourself, kid.

???: ...

(Captain) takes a direct hit from the giant machine and is thrown into the air from the impact.

Heavyset Man: Don't let that brat get in your way.

???: ...

Heavyset Man: You've done good up till now.

Heavyset Man: But this is goodbye.

Men: Gahaha!

The men leave with the sound of their vile laughter hanging in the air.

???: ...

The giant machine grabs (Captain), preventing any movement.

And begins to count down to its explosion.

???: ...

1. I can't give up now!

Choose: I can't give up now!

???: ...

And right when all seems lost...

Alexiel: Mirror-blades!

Alexiel: Hrraaagh!

???: ...

Alexiel: Goodbye.

???: ...!

Alexiel appears with the swiftness of a flash of light, unleashing her mirror-blades.

The barrier they create is able to contain the explosion around the machine alone, saving (Captain).

Alexiel: Singularity, are you all right?

1. Heh. What took you so long?

Choose: Heh. What took you so long?

Alexiel: Haha. My apologies.

The Grandcypher then appears above them.

Alexiel: Excellent, there's no need to worry about the crew anymore.

Alexiel: Now come, let's get those men.

Together they give chase.

Underling: B-Boss! They're on our tail!

Heavyset Man: What? How're they still alive!

Alexiel: Don't think you can get away from us.

Alexiel: Mirror-blade Eruption!

Time to Go Legit: Scene 4

(Captain) convinces Alexiel to spare the lives of the crooked arms dealers on the condition that they turn over a new leaf. This whole incident has no doubt allowed the primal beast to strengthen her bonds with the captain.

---

Heavyset Man: Graaagh!

Having captured the men, (Captain) and Alexiel smile at each other as they watch the Grandcypher draw closer.

Alexiel: Working with your allies, strengthening your bonds, gaining power unobtainable on your own... I think I'm starting to see what Master Uriel sees in you.

Alexiel: Now, back to the matter at hand...

Heavyset Man: W-wait!

Heavyset Man: P-please. Spare us!

Alexiel: ...

Heavyset Man: We won't make any more weapons! Or sell them!

Heavyset Man: We know what we did was wrong! We'll turn from our ways! Promise! Just please...

Alexiel: Oh? So you admit your deeds were evil.

Alexiel: Then you understand you must be punished.

Alexiel: Face your judgment. Face my mirror-blades.

Men: Nooo!

With a look of indifference, Alexiel raises her giant sword.

However—

1. Spare them.

Choose: Spare them.

Alexiel: The benevolence of my captain demands your lives be spared.

Men: Y-yes...

Alexiel: And so I must.

Slowly, Alexiel lowers her sword. She faces the men with a severe gaze.

Alexiel: Waste not the lives you've been given. From henceforth, you shall walk the path of righteousness.

Alexiel: Or else...

Men: W-we'll walk the path of righteousness!

Alexiel: Humph. I look forward to it.

Alexiel: Quickly now, Singularity. There's no more time.

Alexiel: You lot as well. Hurry! We need to go!

Heavyset Man: Yes, ma'am!

They meet up with Rackam and the crew and leave the island as fast as they can.

From behind the Grandcypher, the volcano erupts and consumes the island.

Vyrn: Whew... Made it out just in the nick of time.

Lyria: I don't want to think about what would have happened if we didn't fix the ship fast enough...

Lyria: Alexiel! Thank you so much!

Alexiel: No thanks is needed. This was only possible because we all worked together.

Alexiel: Isn't that right, Singularity... No, (Captain).

The airship carries them into the horizon.

Whatever the future may hold, they will face it together—as one.

Lament of the Fallen

Alexiel helps to lessen the load on the crew by taking on a request alone—one that has her traveling to an island she once operated from. The island has been suffering from poor harvests, which she believes stems from stagnation of the elements.

---

The sun has set on another day.

Alexiel reports to the crew her success on a solo mission.

Alexiel: In addition to the promised reward, the client also gifted us a few boxes of fruit out of appreciation.

Vyrn: Yay, fruit!

Lyria: To think that you're finally taking on requests alone... You've really come a long way as a skyfarer, Alexiel!

Alexiel: Yes, this was quite a valuable experience as my first solo mission. Though there were things I could have done better as well.

Vyrn: Hey, no need to be humble! The client sent us a letter showerin' ya with praise.

Vyrn: Right, (Captain)?

1. You're a huge help as always.
2. And I'm proud to be your captain.

Choose: You're a huge help as always.

Alexiel: You all, too, have lent me countless aid. I am glad to repay the favor, even if only slightly.

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: And I'm proud to be your captain.

Alexiel: I-I am pleased to hear that, even if it is a bit embarrassing...

Continue 1

Lyria: Haha. We're happy to have you in the crew, Alexiel!

Lyria: Given all the assignments you've been helping out with lately, you should definitely take it easy for the rest of today.

Alexiel: Yes, I think I'll do that.

Leaving the others to take care of various odds and ends, Alexiel heaves a sigh.

Alexiel: Though I never did care much about my reputation, I must admit that receiving such praise fills my heart with glee.

Alexiel: Perhaps even Master Uriel will acknowledge the growth I have shown...

Alexiel: No, I must not let pride get the better of me. Rather, I should let my newfound confidence be a reminder to remain humble.

Despite her self-admonishment, Alexiel is unable to contain the joy that surfaces on her face.

Her glee is contagious—noticing that fellow crew members are smiling her way, a bashful Alexiel hurries to her private quarters.

Lyria: Hm, so we can do these requests together... But how about this one?

Alexiel: Is something amiss?

The morning after her first solo mission, Alexiel approaches a meeting in progress. Three sets of eyes look up from a document.

Vyrn: You see, we've got overlapping requests and not enough people...

Alexiel: Allow me to help. If it's to provide protection, or is a monster extermination job, I should be able to handle it alone.

Lyria: Well, we were thinking you could use some rest since you've been working nonstop lately...

Alexiel: Hahah. I appreciate the concern, but I cannot stand idly by while the rest of you toil away.

Lyria: Hrm... Okay then! Thank you, Alexiel!

Vyrn: All right, think you can handle this one? You'll be providing security for a merchant while helping to transport their cargo.

Alexiel: Very well. Where will the cargo be delivered to?

Looking down at the request slip, Alexiel's eyes flutter upon seeing the location.

Vyrn: Huh? What's wrong?

Alexiel: Seeing that island's name brings back fond memories...

Alexiel: Before meeting Master Uriel, I operated from a place not too far from that island.

Vyrn: Oh yeah? Sounds like the perfect assignment for ya then!

Alexiel: Yes, I believe so as well. You will be going on a separate mission, I take it?

Vyrn: Yep! Got us a few monster-hunting requests we can knock out all in one trip!

Alexiel: I see... You may want to bring this along, just in case.

Alexiel raises a hand, causing a single mirror-blade to materialize.

Alexiel: This mirror-blade is imbued with my blessing. Should you fall into grave danger, I will rush to your aid at once.

1. We'll be fine.

Choose: We'll be fine.

Alexiel: Of course, I trust you'll be safe. But it never hurts to be prepared for an emergency... Please, consider it a good-luck charm.

(Captain) is swayed and takes the mirror-blade. Alexiel nods in satisfaction.

Alexiel: I suppose I should be going to my client now. Godspeed to all of us.

Lyria: Mm-hm! Be careful out there, Alexiel!

And so the primal beast makes for the island where her client awaits her.

Merchant: Ah, welcome! You must be the skyfarer who accepted my request.

Alexiel: A pleasure to meet you. I was told this was a protection and cargo transport job...

Numerous armed individuals, most likely mercenaries, loiter around the area.

The merchant notices Alexiel's side-eye glances and sounds almost apologetic when addressing her concern.

Merchant: It may seem a bit over-the-top, but they're here on the same job. There are multiple locations to deliver to after all.

Alexiel: It must be a particularly large order for you to hire so many people.

Alexiel: As far as I can tell, these are all victuals?

Merchant: Yes. The purchase was made by the island's authorities themselves.

Merchant: A string of poor harvests has plagued the entire island for quite some time now, leading to a severe food shortage.

Alexiel: And this has continued to the brink of famine?

Merchant: I mean, I'm happy for the business, but it's no joke for the locals.

Alexiel: ...

Alexiel: (Odd... The incredibly rich soil of that island should make it immune to such poor harvests...)

This contradiction has Alexiel ill at ease, leading her to form a hypothesis.

Alexiel: (A yield so meager that it leads to an island-wide shortage... Could the elements be out of balance?)

Alexiel: There may be more to this request than meets the eye.

Alexiel: If this is an anomaly that threatens the lives of skydwellers, it is my duty as Master Uriel's disciple to pinpoint the cause and resolve it.

Heart filled with resolve, Alexiel slaps both her cheeks to steel herself for the challenge ahead.

Lament of the Fallen: Scene 2

Alexiel speaks to villagers about the soil quality, then makes for the mountain where the poor harvests' cause may have originated. She spots a mirror-blade on the ground and reaches out to it, causing a hole to open up in the sky. Recognizing the voice coming from beyond the hole, she leaps into it.

---

Alexiel accompanies the merchant to a remote village on the island to deliver foodstuffs.

During the merchant's stay, Alexiel has free time to investigate the island's recent crop woes.

Alexiel: (I can sense the impurities in the elements here, particularly the earth element...)

Alexiel: (Never mind crops, not even weeds would grow under such conditions.)

A shadow suddenly crosses the patch of ground that Alexiel is crouched over to assess.

Villager's Voice: Everything okay, miss? If you're having trouble moving, I can piggyback you to the nearest clinic.

Hearing the worried voice from above, Alexiel promptly rises to her feet.

Alexiel: No, you misunderstand... I am not unwell.

Villager: You sure? You were bent down for so long that I started to get worried...

Alexiel: I thought I'd look into the island's poor harvests by examining the soil quality. Thank you for your concern anyhow.

Villager: Ah, that'd explain it. You do look the picture of health on closer inspection.

Villager: We've had to contend with an epidemic around these parts lately as well. As if the monsters weren't enough of a problem...

Alexiel: An epidemic?

Alexiel turns her attention to a line of patients waiting outside the village's only clinic.

Alexiel: Tell me something... When did things start to go sour for the village?

Villager: Hrm? I'd say around... two years ago.

Villager: You see the towering mountain down that way? The trees on that mountain suddenly withering were the first sign of something amiss.

Villager: Monsters that mostly kept to the peak began descending upon the village and ravaging our fields.

Alexiel: Oh? Is that also when the crops stopped growing properly?

Villager: Yes. We barely had anything to harvest last year, while not a single crop has matured this year.

Alexiel: I see... Thank you for the info.

Alexiel studies the barren mountain slope looming in the distance.

Alexiel: It will be too late if the issue is left untended. I must take action at once.

Clenching her fist in a show of resolve, Alexiel departs from the village.

In order to determine the cause of the island's famine, Alexiel wastes no time in heading to the mountain.

Alexiel: (The elemental stagnation is indeed worse here; whatever is causing the anomaly must lie on this mountain. Now to find the source...)

Alexiel: What a foul stench. The water is contaminated like the earth.

Amid the faint scent of decay, Alexiel surveys her surroundings with a frown.

Alexiel: ...!
What was that sound?

Alexiel: There it is again! It's coming from farther ahead...

Alexiel: (The elements are more stagnant with each step I take... I'm on the right track!)

Alexiel inches ever closer to the source of the sound.

Alexiel: ...!
There!

Something akin to black mud bubbles up incessantly from the cracked ground, resembling a spring.

Alexiel's eyes widen when she spots a flickering glow coming from deep within the foul-smelling mud.

Alexiel: Is that... a mirror-blade? What could it possibly be doing here...

Drawn to the familiar gleam of the mirror-blade submerged in mud, Alexiel instinctively reaches out her hand.

???: ...

Alexiel: Who's there?

In the next instant, the ground begins to shake violently as a blinding pillar of light pierces the sky.

Something peers back from beyond the distorted crack in the blue skies.

Alexiel: ...!

Alexiel: The god-realm has opened up!

???: ...

Alexiel: ...

Although the exact words are hard to make out, a faint voice amid the thunderous roaring is audible from beyond the fissure.

Alexiel's eyes dilate and her lips quiver.

Alexiel: So this is the cause of the anomaly...

Alexiel: Are you calling for me, Belung?

Another thunderous roar follows from beyond the fissure.

That's all Alexiel needs to hear before leaping into the fissure without a moment's hesitation.

Lament of the Fallen: Scene 3

Sensing an anomaly from a mirror-blade Alexiel left with the crew, (Captain) and company follow her tracks all the way to the mountain. With Uriel's assistance, they enter the god-realm and save her from a losing battle in the nick of time.

---

At some point during Alexiel's absence from the crew, (Captain) notices a small crack in the entrusted mirror-blade.

Taking this as a sign of foreboding, the crew goes to the island where Alexiel was last seen and traces her steps.

Vyrn: Eww... What's with the yucky smell on this mountain? The stuffy air doesn't help either. Something's not right with this place.

Lyria: Alexiel must have climbed the mountain to find out what's causing the island's problems...

Merchant: You're her crewmates, huh? She told one of the villagers she was looking into soil quality, and then disappeared into the mountain.

Merchant: She was up there for so long that the neighborhood watch went searching for her. No luck so far; she must've gone in pretty deep.

Lyria: So that's what happened... Thank you!

Lyria: The crack in the sky appeared some time after Alexiel left the village, they said.

Looking up reveals that a thin fissure still runs through the azure sky.

There was said to be a large hole that coincided with Alexiel's disappearance, though only the crack remains now.

Vyrn: Guh... She tells us not to be reckless, then goes and does somethin' like this! I'm gonna give her an earful when she gets back!

Lyria: I sure hope Alexiel is okay...

The crew continues trekking deeper into the mountain.

Vyrn: Whoa! What's goin' on?

Startled by the sudden sound of an explosion, the crew rushes over to learn what happened.

Uriel: Gah! Open up, you stupid hole!

Lyria: Uriel?

Staring straight up past the withered forest's dead canopy is the lone figure of Uriel, master of Alexiel.

Vyrn: If you're here... does that mean something's happened to Alexiel?

Uriel: You see the crack in the sky too, right? I can feel her fighting on the other side in the god-realm.

Uriel: She's up against the one responsible for this island's mess... A creature of the god-realm that pollutes the elements just by existing.

Vyrn: God-realm?

Uriel: It was a dimension used as a frontline base by the Astrals during the War. Supposedly connects the Sky and Astral Realms somehow.

Uriel: The contaminated elements from the god-realm have seeped through, affecting this island as well.

Uriel glares at the glowing, wound-esque crack.

Uriel: Being that she was once a guardian of the god-realm, Alexiel probably rushed here the moment she sensed something amiss.

Uriel: I wanted to force the crack open to lend her a hand, but the thing won't even budge.

Uriel's words stir something in the captain's memory.

1. Think you can use this?

Choose: Think you can use this?

(Captain) produces the good-luck charm Alexiel had left behind before departing.

Uriel: That glow... It's one of her mirror-blades!

Uriel: If I channel the earth element into the mirror-blade and unleash it all in one go, just maybe...

1. It's worth a try.

Choose: It's worth a try.

Uriel takes the mirror-blade from (Captain) and leaps toward the fissure.

Uriel: Uryaaaah!

Vyrn: Look! The crack's spreading apart fast!

Lyria: So that's the god-realm...

Uriel's blast opens up a hole in the fissure, allowing a peek into the landscape beyond.

Vyrn: Hey, something strange is spillin' out of the hole!

Uriel: (Captain)! I'm gonna use my power to send you guys to the other side!

Uriel: Bring Alexiel back while I'm able to keep the hole open. Sound good?

1. You got it!

Choose: You got it!

The moment (Captain) nods, elements surround the crew members and lift their bodies into the air.

And thus begins Alexiel's rescue from the god-realm.

Giant Dragon: ...!

Alexiel: Ngh!

Unfolding in the god-realm is an intense battle between Alexiel and a massive dragon cloaked in polluted elements.

The primal uses her greatsword to prop up her wounded body, and she glares at her opponent.

Alexiel: Worry not... I'm going to finish you off with this next stroke!

Alexiel: Hraaaah!

With a ferocious shout, Alexiel brings her sword down on the dragon. However...

Giant Dragon: ...!

Alexiel: Curses!

Giant Dragon: ...!

Alexiel: Urk!

The dragon swipes its claw, easily parrying Alexiel's blade before slashing her.

Alexiel: Nhg!

Giant Dragon: ...

Alexiel: No... I cannot afford to lose...

The dragon's massive shadow looms over her as she struggles to rise.

Giant Dragon: ...!

It sends a claw hurtling toward Alexiel yet again.

Lyria's Voice: Colossus! Now!

Colossus: ...

Giant Dragon: ...!

Vyrn: Alexiel! You okay?

Arriving just in time, (Captain) and company gasp at the dire sight of Alexiel.

Lyria: You're terribly hurt, Alexiel! Let's pull back for now! Uriel's keeping the path open for us!

Alexiel: Master Uriel? Rgh, to think I troubled him with this matter...

Alexiel: Even so, I cannot retreat! Not until that creature is put to rest!

Vyrn: C'mon, Alexiel! You're hurt bad enough already!

Alexiel: My mind is made up! I shall stay and fight!

Alexiel: I won't turn my back here! Not again!

Alexiel grits her teeth as she struggles to rise, only to fall back down again—a likely sign that she's reached her limits.

1. Trust us on this one.

Choose: Trust us on this one.

Alexiel: But I...

Giant Dragon: ...!

Colossus: ...

Lyria: Colossus is being pushed back! We need to leave now!

Vyrn: Let's drag Alexiel with us if we've got to!

Nodding in agreement, (Captain) slips under one of Alexiel's arms and half-carries her to the exit.

Alexiel: Belung...

Giant Dragon: ...

Alexiel utters what seems to be the dragon's name before losing consciousness.

Guardian's Pledge

In a flashback of the time of the War, Alexiel and the dragon Belung defend the god-realm from skydwellers. Faced with their relentless attacks, Belung suggests calling for reinforcements. Alexiel, however, dismisses this advice out of pride. Belung later ends up sacrificing himself to save Alexiel from the skydwellers.

---

???: ...xiel... up.

Alexiel: What a nostalgic voice...

???: Alexiel, wake up.

Alexiel: That voice belongs to... Yes, I remember now.

Alexiel: My better half. The guardian dragon born of my mirror-blades. His name is...

???: Oh, you're up! Morning, Alexiel!

Alexiel: Belung?

The first thing that pops into Alexiel's view is a massive, friendly dragon looking down at her.

Belung: Yep! It's me! You feeling all rested up yet?

Alexiel: Yes, I'm fine now... How long have I been asleep?

Belung: Um, well, I've seen about three suns go down since you shut your eyes!

Alexiel: I overslept a tad bit. Thank you for waking me.

Alexiel rises and furrows her brows at the lingering scent of war in the air.

Alexiel: What is the current situation? It appears the enemy's advance has halted.

Belung: Some tried to sneak in at one point, but I took care of every last one of them, just like you asked!

Belung: After that... It's pretty much been a waiting game, I guess.

Alexiel: I see...

Alexiel: The War was drawing to a close.

Alexiel: Astrals had begun retreating from the Sky Realm. Skydwellers, seeing this as an opportunity, pressed the attack.

Alexiel: They were relentless in their counteroffensive, pushing all the way to the god-realm.

Alexiel: We defenders of the god-realm fought for days on end to buy enough time for the Astrals' retreat.

Belung: Hey, Alexiel?

Alexiel: Yes, Belung?

Belung: Um, I was thinking maybe we should call on other guardians for reinforcements.

Alexiel: That again?

Belung: I mean... Despite our best efforts, the skydwellers' front line is inching closer and closer.

Belung: My shield and your sword make for the ultimate combo, but there's only so much we can do...

Belung: Not to mention the latest wave of skydwellers aren't like other skydwellers we've faced before...

Alexiel: ...

Alexiel instinctively crosses her arm as if to cover the wounds that have yet to fully heal.

Belung: They've been extra scary lately... So it only makes sense for us to be extra prepared.

Alexiel: Belung... This god-realm's protection is a job entrusted only to the two of us.

Alexiel: Thus we need no reinforcements. We will continue defending it until the Astrals have completely withdrawn.

Alexiel: That is our purpose. Even if it means we must give our lives for it.

Alexiel: Your shield is an unyielding sentinel, whose unassailable defense rebuffs all who dare approach.

Alexiel: As you've often said, your shield and my sword together are unstoppable in the face of any skydweller threat.

Belung: Mm... Yeah, I suppose you're right! Whatever it takes, us two are gonna keep the god-realm safe!

Alexiel: Yes, I'm counting on you, Belung! We shall come out of this victorious.

Alexiel: Somewhere deep down, I had underestimated skydwellers for being mere mortals. Mortals who couldn't possibly stand against us primal beasts.

Alexiel: Misjudging the opposition on the battlefield can be fatal. It was a lesson I thought I'd already learned from the countless skirmishes I'd engaged in.

Alexiel: Haaah!

Alexiel takes a deep breath after mercilessly cutting down a group of skydweller soldiers. She is unaware of the shadows sneaking up behind her.

Belung: Alexiel!

Alexiel: !

A single moment of carelessness is all it takes. Four swords pierce through her body simultaneously.

Alexiel: Ungh!

Sky Soldier 1: W-we did it! That's one primal beast down—

Belung: No one bullies Alexiel!

Sky Soldier 1: Gwaaah!

Sky Soldier 2: Wretched monster! Do not let up! We must break through, no matter the cost!

Belung: I won't let you get any closer to Alexiel! Or the god-realm!

Seeing the skydwellers valiantly stepping over the corpses of their fallen comrades, Belung erects a massive barrier.

Yet the opposition remain undeterred and continue their advance.

Sky Soldier 2: Fire!

Belung: Rgh!

Alexiel: Belung!

Belung: I-I'm fine! I'll live on!

Belung: I just don't get why they're so much more aggressive now! Normally they'd have retreated after taking this many casualties...

The skydwellers even pay no heed to friendly fire, resuming the onslaught against Belung in an attempt to destroy the barrier.

Alexiel breathes a deep sigh, somewhat taken aback by the enemy's unprecedented boldness.

Alexiel: If they're here on a suicide mission, then we'll just have to respond in kind.

Muttering under her breath, Alexiel pulls out the swords piercing through her body and readies her own blade.

Belung: That's reckless, Alexiel! Even you can't keep fighting with injuries that big!

Alexiel: Retreat is not an option for us guardians! We fight until one side falls!

Alexiel: It's time, Belung! Our final battle, one way or another!

Alexiel: Huff... Huff...

Alexiel: (Have all the Astrals withdrawn yet? How much longer must we keep fighting? Someone answer me...)

A mountain of corpses spreads out before her eyes, yet the sounds of battle do not cease.

Barely managing to stay upright by leaning on her broadsword, Alexiel's thoughts begin to wander amid her fading consciousness.

Sky Mage: Throw everything you've got at her! Show them what we skydwellers are capable of!

As soon as those words register, Alexiel notices an unusual trembling of the air around her.

Alexiel: ...!

Alexiel looks up to see a torrent of searing light fast approaching.

Alexiel: (Is this the end...)

Lacking the strength to move out of the way, the primal closes her eyes in acceptance of what is to come.

Alexiel: ...!
Belung!

The torrent of light drives into the dragon's body instead, now standing in front of Alexiel to act as her shield.

Belung: Urgh...

Alexiel: Belung! Why! Why did you cover me?

Belung: I promised you, didn't I? That I'd keep you safe... I'm... your shield... after all...

Belung: Rhg... Gwaaaah!

Alexiel: ...!
I don't believe it!

Alexiel bites her lip as she witnesses the edges of the gaping wound in Belung's body begin to discolor and rot away.

Alexiel: (An anti-primal spell that interferes with the elements, causing rot. Who would have thought the skydwellers were capable of something so deadly!)

Sky Soldier 2: That troublesome shield is gone at last! Don't let up!

Alexiel: ...!

Seeing the uplifted spirits of the advancing skydwellers, Alexiel returns her gaze back to Belung.

Alexiel: (This is bad... Before long, the elements composing Belung's body will lose control and run amok!)

Alexiel: (It won't just be the god-realm that suffers! Both the Sky and Astral Realms will be greatly affected!)

Belung: It'll be okay... Alexiel...

Alexiel: Belung?

Belung: As guardian dragon... I'm going to make sure I keep you and this place safe...

Belung: Mirror-blades, invert... My shield, take your new form as a cage!

The next moment, a faint light engulfs Belung's body, which transforms into countless mirror-blades.

Sky Soldier 2: The heck?

Sky Mage: Crap! F-fall back! We're retreating!

Belung: Oh, no, you don't! We're going out together in a big bang!

Perceiving incoming danger, the skydwellers attempt to turn back, but the mirror-blades close around them like a spherical cage.

Alexiel: No...

Alexiel: Stop it, Belung! You don't need to do that!

Belung: I'm sorry I couldn't protect you until the very end, Alexiel.

The pale glow of the spherical mirror-blade cage suddenly explodes in a brilliant flash of radiance.

When the light subsides, Alexiel opens her eyes and gasps at the sight before her.

Alexiel: No...

Alexiel: It's my fault this happened to you, Belung...

Lips trembling with terror, the primal stares in stunned silence at what is now a vast expanse of void.

Guardian's Pledge: Scene 2

Days later, a rejuvenated Alexiel recounts her past to the crew. As it turns out, the dragon nestling in the god-realm and polluting the elements is a remnant of her former guardian partner, Belung. She apologizes for diving headfirst into danger and asks for the crew's help in saving him.

---

Lyria: ...

Alexiel: That is my past... and also the true nature of the anomaly afflicting this island.

Alexiel: What now infests the god-realm are the remnants of Belung, hindered from passing on by the tainted elements.

Having retreated from the god-realm, the crew is currently taking refuge in a nearby village.

Alexiel had been unconscious for several days, but she's now awake and speaking of her past in the god-realm.

Alexiel: As a guardian of the god-realm, Belung's choice to sacrifice himself in taking out those skydwellers may have been the correct one.

Alexiel: That doesn't mean, however, that I can agree with it. More than anything else, I cannot forgive myself.

Alexiel: For forcing Belung into making such a drastic decision, due to my own gross incompetence.

Alexiel: For stubbornly refusing Belung's advice to call for reinforcements because I'd overestimated my own strength.

Lyria: Alexiel...

Seeing a downcast Alexiel with fists clenched in remorse, Lyria and Vyrn can do little more than trade glances.

Uriel: So you stepped into the god-realm alone when you realized your partner was causing this mess, huh?

Alexiel: Yes. What's become of Belung and the threat he poses can ultimately be traced back to my failure.

Alexiel: I did feel a strong need to resolve this calamitous situation that was of my own creation. But at the same time...

Alexiel: Belung was created from my core and mirror-blades, which essentially makes him a part of me.

Alexiel: So I was also motivated by a desire to personally relieve Belung of his suffering.

Uriel: Look... I know how you feel, but...

1. I have to admit I'm angry.

Choose: I have to admit I'm angry.

Alexiel: My apologies. At the very least, I should have sent word to you, (Captain).

1. You should have waited for us first.

Choose: You should have waited for us first.

Alexiel: ...

Alexiel: Still, the situation needed to be resolved as quickly as possible, and I did not wish to trouble you with my own affairs.

Vyrn: That's all well and good, but chargin' straight ahead alone is how you lost your buddy in the first place.

Vyrn: If we didn't notice the crack in the mirror-blade you gave us, or if Uriel couldn't get through to the god-realm, you might be a goner now...

Vyrn: (Captain)'s angry 'cause we came so close to losin' ya back there.

Vyrn: Heck, I'd say every one of us feels the same way.

(Captain) silently nods in agreement as Alexiel realizes her shortcomings.

Alexiel: (Ah, done in by my overconfidence again... Why do I keep thinking I can accomplish the impossible alone?)

Alexiel: (Ever since accepting Uriel as my master and traveling with (Captain)'s crew, I've overcome so many hardships.)

Alexiel: （But I was only able to do so with others—as a team. Yet here I am, still clinging to my old ways...）

Amid the dark clouds of regret, the faces of those she met and fought alongside during the journey thus far flash through her mind.

Alexiel: It was because we combined our strengths and worked as one that I was able to overcome numerous trials and tribulations.

Alexiel: How could I forget a lesson so simple yet so crucial... Let it serve as proof of my viridity.

Alexiel: Forgive me. I should have withdrawn before being cornered.

(Captain)'s expression finally softens upon seeing Alexiel's deep bow.

Alexiel: Now, given all that has been said, I'd like to make a formal request of the crew.

Alexiel: In order to solve this anomaly...

Alexiel: No, rather... In order to save Belung from his endless suffering once and for all... I ask that you fight by my side.

Alexiel extends a hand. (Captain), Vyrn, and Lyria nod to each other, and then individually shake with the guardian.

1. We're with you!

Choose: We're with you!

Vyrn: Heheh! No way are we gonna say no to a friend in need!

Lyria: Let us work together to save Belung!

Alexiel: (Captain), Red Dragon, Girl in Blue, you have my thanks.

Alexiel: Master Uriel, I must ask something of you as well.

Alexiel: Will you safeguard the island from the polluted elements that leak out of the god-realm while we battle Belung?

Uriel: Yep, not a problem, but... aren't you guys a bit shorthanded?

Alexiel: The goal isn't merely to destroy him... In fact, I believe I can prevent his annihilation by reintegrating what remains of his personality from the mirror-blades into myself.

Alexiel: That is the true way to save Belung. And it is something only I, his other half, can do.

Alexiel: Belung may have died once, but if any part of him remains, I wish to preserve it if at all possible.

Uriel: Good, you've got it all figured out. Your resolve's palpable, Alexiel.

Uriel: Leave things here to me! Once this is all over, I'll make you some of my special stew!

Alexiel: Thank you, Master Uriel. I look forward to savoring your stew once this is all over!

Vyrn: Now that that's settled... Ready to go, Alexiel?

Alexiel: Yes. Let us finally resolve the matter.

Alexiel: Belung, hang in there. I promise to save you!

Her heart filled with determination, the primal makes for the god-realm once more, except with backup this time.

Guardian's Pledge: Scene 3

Seconds before success, back in battle with the dragon, a final attack threatens (Captain)'s life. Desperately, Alexiel recalls Belung's final moments and a lesson from Uriel, inspiring a new technique that she uses to deflect the attack.

---

Belung: ...

Alexiel: Belung... It ends here and now...

Having crossed into the god-realm, Alexiel and crew prepare to face off against the rampaging dragon.

Alexiel: As we discussed earlier, Girl in Blue!

Lyria: Right! I'll call out to Belung's consciousness to try and slow him down as much as possible!

Alexiel: Good. Into the fray we go, (Captain)!

The captain charges forward without hesitation, weapon in hand.

Lyria: I'm sorry, Belung! But I have to do this!

Belung: ...!

Lyria calls out to Belung's core in an effort to pacify him, only to be met with a fierce roar in resistance.

Lyria: Nhg!

Vyrn: Lyria! You all right?

Lyria: Y-yeah... Belung's the one who's in incredible pain...

Alexiel: Stay strong, Girl in Blue!

Alexiel: Hraaah!

Without a second thought, Alexiel brings her greatsword down on the massive dragon.

Belung: ...!

Alexiel: Rgh!

While Alexiel is taking the brunt of Belung's attacks, (Captain) manages to slip past the dragon's guard.

Belung: ...!

Alexiel: (Captain)!

The captain gets back up and signals for Alexiel to keep formation.

Seeing (Captain) dash toward Belung again without pause, the primal refocuses.

Belung: ...!

Alexiel: Uoooogh!

The relentless assault of the pair combined with Lyria's suppression proves to be highly effective.

The rampaging dragon's movements grow increasingly dull.

Alexiel: (I can feel it! We're whittling Belung down little by little...)

Alexiel: (Captain)! Let's finish this!

Sword in hand, knuckles whitening, the captain zips past the dragon's guard once more.

Alexiel: Haaah!

(Captain): ...!

Belung: ...!

Vyrn: We did it!

Lyria: ...!
Wait, this is...

Lyria: Alexiel, (Captain), no! Get away from there!

Belung: ...!

Following a roar powerful enough to shake the atmosphere, light bursts forth from deep within Belung's body.

The radiating light spreads out in all directions, turning nearby floating boulders to dust in an instant.

Alexiel: Rgh! (Captain)! Behind me—

Vyrn's Voice: Uwaah!

Alexiel wastes no time generating a shield when Vyrn screams out from behind her.

As countless beams of light erupt from Belung, the dragon's giant claws aim directly for the defenseless figures of Lyria and Vyrn.

Alexiel: (The girl in blue can't move while she's focusing! What can I do from here...)

Belung: ...!

(Captain) intercepts Belung's claw just in time, only to then be brought down by the barrage of beams.

Alexiel: (Captain)!

Belung: ...!

Belung gathers light in his jaws to finish off the immobilized captain.

Vyrn: Oh crud! Here we go again!

Lyria: Ngh! I can't suppress him any further!

Alexiel: Back off! I will not allow you to hurt them!

Belung: ...!

The instant Alexiel arrives at (Captain)'s side and deploys her shield, Belung unleashes a powerful beam of light.

Alexiel: Rhg!

Vyrn: Alexiel!

Alexiel: Worry not! My shield is impenetrable... I will withstand this!

Belung: ...!

Resonating with Belung's roar, the beam continues to grow in intensity. A piece of Alexiel's shield chips off.

Alexiel: (Never mind pushing the beam back, the shield won't last much longer at this rate!)

Alexiel: (Th-there must be some way to break out of this!)

Lyria: Huh?

Vyrn: Lyria! What's wrong?

Lyria: I think I heard a voice just now...

Lyria closes her eyes and takes a deep breath to focus, scanning for the source of the voice.

Lyria: Power of the mirror-blades... Alexiel... You can do this...

Alexiel: Was that Belung you heard?

Lyria: It must be! His voice was faint, but that's what I heard him say!

Alexiel: ...

Alexiel: (A power of the mirror-blades that only Belung knew about?)

Alexiel: (Think, Alexiel, think! There must be a hint in your memories! How did Belung use them to fight?)

After flashing back to Belung's final moments, a far more recent memory surfaces next.

Alexiel: (It was shortly after accepting Uriel as my master...)

Uriel: Set aside winning and focus on protecting what's important first.

Uriel: Then while the enemy's tiring itself out trying to break your defenses, determine their weakness!

Uriel: If you exploit that weakness, you can turn the tables in an instant.

Alexiel: Right... It all makes sense.

Vyrn: Alexiel?

Alexiel: I've finally figured it out... The meaning behind Master Uriel's teachings and Belung's actions that day!

Alexiel's shield, which had been wavering under Belung's assault, reclaims its original sturdiness.

Belung: ...!

Alexiel: I'm ready to bear the weight of it all, Belung... Your suffering, your pain—lay it all upon me!

Alexiel: I will grant you true rest without fail this time!

Belung: ...!

Alexiel's declaration seems to intensify the light emanating from Belung, causing the cracks spreading across the shield to widen rapidly.

Alexiel: (No, this isn't enough! The final attack must be able to shatter his core in a single strike!)

Vyrn: Careful, Alexiel! Your shield's about to break!

Alexiel: Not yet, my shield! I beg of you to endure for a bit longer!

Alexiel: I swear upon my duty as guardian to protect every one of you along with the skies!

With a sharp crack, Alexiel's shield buckles from the pressure.

???: Alexiel!

Alexiel: Mirror-blades, invert! Release the soul ensnared by darkness and grant true rest!

Alexiel: Nibelung Reflection!

A beam of light shoots forth from the shield, piercing straight through the center of Belung's body.

Guardian's Pledge: Scene 4

The defeated Belung has one final heartfelt conversation with Alexiel before being absorbed into her mirror-blade. With the root of the island's elemental stagnation gone, the poor harvests soon become a thing of the past. Reflecting on this series of events, Alexiel is now more determined than ever to become a true guardian capable of protecting all she holds dear.

---

Belung: ...!

Amid the grating cacophony of its death throes, the dragon's massive form begins to crumble.

Particles of light spill forth from its body, gathering together to create a singular form.

Belung: Huh? That you, Alexiel? It's been so long...

Alexiel: Belung...

Alexiel: I'm sorry I didn't come sooner... It's because of my shortcomings that you've suffered for so long...

Belung: Oh, that's not true. I mean, it definitely wasn't fun. Nope, no fun at all...

Belung: But the whole time, I was sure you'd eventually come to take me out.

Alexiel: ...

Belung: I'm the one who's sorry. If I'd just gone out in a blaze of glory like I meant to...

Belung: I could've saved you so much trouble. Shame I ended up leaving pieces of myself behind...

Alexiel: No, Belung, please don't blame yourself. I'm the one who must apologize.

Alexiel: Had I simply heeded your advice and called for reinforcements, you wouldn't have had to sacrifice yourself to begin with!

Alexiel: I accept full responsibility for what happened to you! I don't know how I'll ever make up for it...

Alexiel lowers her head, straining to speak under the weight of her regret. Meanwhile, the light forming Belung's shape gently envelops the primal as if to offer solace.

Belung: There's no need to cry, Alexiel. I regret nothing.

Belung: I say that as both the god-realm's guardian dragon... and as your shield. I'm so glad I was able to keep you safe.

Belung: Besides, I was born from your mirror-blades to begin with. In a way, I'm just going back home to where I belong.

Belung: We'll be together forever and ever from now on, Alexiel. I'll be right beside you, even if you might not be able to see me.

Alexiel: Yes, that's right... We'll never have to be apart again.

Belung: Mm-hm! So cheer up, Alexiel! And... I'll see you later!

With those last words, the final remnants of Belung's shape disintegrate.

Lyria: Alexiel...

Alexiel: ...
I'm fine. I do indeed feel Belung with me. There's nothing to be sad about.

Alexiel: Welcome home, Belung. And may your sleep be peaceful...

Once all the light has faded, only the shard of a shattered mirror-blade remains in Alexiel's hand.

Alexiel: (Captain)... Will you hold on to this?

1. This is... a mirror-blade?

Choose: This is... a mirror-blade?

Alexiel: Yes, though it's different from what I handed you before. This one is equivalent to a second core, like the one that gave life to Belung.

Alexiel: Although Belung's consciousness no longer inhabits this shard, the protective blessing remains ever present.

Alexiel: I would like you, my comrade, to have possession of this. I imagine Belung would be proud.

Looking down at the mirror-blade shard, then up at Alexiel's expression, the captain responds with a solemn nod.

1. I'll treasure it.

Choose: I'll treasure it.

Alexiel: Thank you. Belung, too, will keep you safe through the mirror-blade.

The shard in (Captain)'s hand seems to agree by emitting a soft glow.

Uriel: Welcome back, Alexiel! Glad you managed to wrap things up.

Alexiel: Master Uriel! I apologize for all the trouble I've caused. How fares the village?

Uriel: As you can see, the pristine earth element that now flows out of the god-realm is already fast enriching the soil.

Uriel looks to a plot of previously barren farmland that is already showing signs of a rapid recovery.

Alexiel: It'll take some time before everything's back to normal, but we should have nothing to worry about now.

Alexiel: And with the pollution lifted from the elements, the epidemic plaguing the land will soon become a thing of the past.

The villagers, too, have regained their vitality, perhaps invigorated by the vibrant greenery that's sprouting all over.

Their jubilance brings smiles to the faces of (Captain) and company.

Alexiel: Master Uriel...

Uriel: Hm?

Alexiel: I have learned much through the resolution of this matter.

Alexiel: My duty is not to conquer the enemy, but rather to protect against them.

Alexiel: I am both the shield and the weapon that safeguards my allies.

Alexiel: As a defender who is also your disciple...

Alexiel: I vow to continue bettering myself in order to become a true guardian—one for the people of the skies, for the god-realm, for all that needs protection.

Uriel breaks into a grin and ruffles his disciple's hair, lightening the mood.

Alexiel: M-Master Uriel?

Uriel: Hahah, attaguardian! Good to see you growing up!

Uriel: All right! Time to chow down on my stew so you can grow even bigger!

Alexiel: Yes, I certainly will!

Nodding firmly at Uriel, Alexiel places a hand on her chest and gazes up at the sky.

Alexiel: Of course, you will be joining me as well.

Alexiel: Belung... May we continue on the path to becoming true guardians.

Her hair sways gently, caressed by a gentle breeze that picks up as if in answer, carrying her words wherever they may go.
