Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 42: Chaos Abounds - Episode 1
A man named Gandharva pays a visit to Monika's cell, but she's not thrilled to see the one who threw Amalthea into chaos.
Monika sits sequestered in the corner of her dimly lit cell. Suddenly the bars open.
Monika: Gasp...
???: Well, well, well. You've certainly seen better days, Captain of the Fourth Fleet, Monika.
Monika: Sorry to break it to you, Gandharva, but I'm only the deputy captain now.
Gandharva: Humph. Of course I know that.
Gandharva: But look at you now. The once great Monika is now a lowly prisoner.
Monika: Hah! Big of you to say, considering you're the one who threw me in here.
Gandharva: That's why I said it. The old you would have at least given me a run for my money.
Monika: I don't know about that. I don't have a lust for battle like you do.
Gandharva: You've grown soft. I don't know if you're trying to teach your successor a lesson or what, but you abandoned your post as captain too quickly.
Gandharva: No bite left in you at all. Guess that's one less opponent who's capable of helping me pass the time.
Monika: Gandharva, what are you after? Why have you returned now of all times?
Gandharva: Don't play dumb. You know already, don't you?
Monika: Then my hunch was right. But don't think for a second that your plan will go smoothly.
Gandharva: That's why I threw you in this cell. And it looks like that was the right decision! Your little friend is beside herself.
Monika: ...
Gandharva: Good, good! Keep up that glare. That's all you can afford to do right now.
Gandharva: Well that and wait patiently for the grand finale.
With a wry grin, Gandharva turns, locks the cell door, and leaves the jail.
Monika: (Lecia...)
Monika: (I'm counting on you, Lecia. I know you can do it...)
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 42: Chaos Abounds - Episode 2
(Captain) and the crew land on Amalthea Island to see the once beautiful town lying in shambles. Not long after, an imperial soldier spots them.
Rackam: Whoa, whoa, whoa... What the hell happened here?
Orchis: All messed up...
(Captain) and the crew have come to Amalthea Island to research Vyrn's past.
But the once orderly streets are in utter shambles, leaving only the scars of a conflict to greet them.
Eugen: This whole place got blown away in the blink of an eye...
Lyria: It used to be so beautiful. Why... What's going on?
Katalina: I've got a bad feeling about this. And I sense a dubious presence of some kind.
Imperial Soldier: A-ah! Looks like we missed some of the skyfarers! Where did you hide Captain Lecia?
Rackam: Tch... Katalina, looks like your feeling was right on the money.
Katalina: Why is an imperial soldier here? What happened to the Crew of Enforcers?
Io: No idea, but we better make a run for it!
Io: Whatever happens, we can't let the empire catch us!
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 42: Chaos Abounds - Episode 2: Scene 2
The crew shakes off their pursuers. In order to find out what's happened to the town, they decide to search for an Enforcer.
Imperial Soldier 1: Damn it! Where did they go?
Imperial Soldier 2: We're at a disadvantage in these streets. But it's probably a walk in the park for them...
Imperial Soldier 1: Grr... Guess we should report to the lieutenant general that we encountered some skyfarers.
Io: Yep... They're gone.
Rackam: Whew... I wonder what's happened here.
Rackam: Why are there imperials strutting around the island like they own the place? Isn't this Enforcer territory?
Katalina: No idea. But one thing's for certain...
Eugen: We'll have to look into Vyrn's past some other time.
Vyrn: Shucks... Why's this kinda thing always gotta happen to us?
Katalina: First we should look for Monika or Lecia. I'm sure one of them will be able to explain the situation.
Rackam: Well, let's just hope they got time to stop and chat about it...
Lyria: You know... I see plenty of soldiers, but I don't see any skyfarers...
Lyria: Something might have happened to the Crew of Enforcers.
Io: All we can do now is find someone who looks like they know what's going on!
Rackam: Better yet, wouldn't it be faster to just grab one of these soldiers and beat it out of them?
Katalina: They're military professionals. I don't think they'll give up their secrets that easily.
Katalina: The town isn't crawling with just soldiers; there's plenty of monsters too. Be on your guard while we look for Monika or Lecia.
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 42: Chaos Abounds - Episode 3
While the crew are running through the war-torn streets, they spot imperial soldiers pursuing Lecia. They, too, join the chase.
Lecia: Urgh! Let's retreat and get back into formation! Everyone, follow me!
Skyfarer: Pant... Pant... Damn it! They just won't give up!
Imperial Soldier: Halt! Hand over Captain Lecia immediately!
Io: What was that!
Orchis: Lecia... They're after her...
Katalina: Mm? Orchis, you know Lecia?
Orchis: She's nice. When they took Apollo, she was nice.
Orchis: But she was hopeless. So I'm worried...
Katalina: Well, Lecia does disregard danger to some degree, doesn't she?
Io: Forget all that! Let's go after her on the double! We need her to tell us what happened to this island!
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 42: Chaos Abounds - Episode 3: Scene 2
(Captain) and the crew narrowly rescue Lecia from danger. As they begin to question her, imperial reinforcements arrive and launch an attack.
Imperial Soldier 1: There's nowhere left to run. It's time to surrender, Captain Lecia.
Imperial Soldier 2: The lieutenant general has no intention of killing you. Why don't you just come quietly?
Lecia: Pant... Pant... Don't be ridiculous!
Imperial Soldier 1: Humph. Have it your way. But don't say we didn't try.
Imperial Soldier 1: We were ordered to take you alive, but he didn't say anything about roughing you up a bit first!
Imperial Soldier 2: Argh!
Lecia: What was that!
Imperial Soldier 1: Did we overlook more Enforcers? Damn it! Where are you! Show yourselves!
Rackam: You don't have to shout. We're right here, yeesh...
Eugen: We've got business with that captain. Could ya let us through?
Lecia: What are you all doing here!
Katalina: It's certainly been a while, Lecia. I never imagined this is how we'd meet again.
Io: Hey! What's happened on this island exactly?
Io: And after that, we've got plenty of other stuff we want to ask you.
Imperial Soldier 1: Tch... Damn stubborn skyfarers!
Imperial Soldier 1: Heeey! Over here! Attack 'em from both sides!
Rackam: Guess our Q and A sesh with Lecia's just gonna have to wait.
Lyria: Unfortunately... For now, we have to fight our way through! Be careful, (Captain)!
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 42: Chaos Abounds - Episode 4
Lecia informs the crew that she knows of a safe place on the island where they can talk in peace.
Lecia: You guys... Why are you here? What happened with Prime Minister Freesia?
Lecia: Huh? You got separated from the Black Knight? And that woman isn't with you now either...
Eugen: Well, it's a long story...
Eugen: And it's kinda the reason why we came to this island. Because we need your help.
Katalina: Lecia. Do you know what's happening on this island?
Katalina: Why are imperial soldiers chasing you? Aren't you the captain?
Katalina: And furthermore, the town's a wreck. Who caused this?
Lecia: Ah... You see...
Imperial Soldier: They're here! This way!
Lecia: Agh! Let's save the explanation for later.
Lecia: Come with me. I'll take you to a place where we can calm down and speak.
Lecia points to the outskirts of town.
Vyrn: A safe place? You mean you're not going to the Crew of Enforcers headquarters?
Lecia: I'll explain that too. But for now let's just go.
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 42: Chaos Abounds - Episode 4: Scene 2
The crew head further into the outskirts of the city, where there are fewer soldiers but more monsters.
With Lecia guiding them, (Captain) and the crew move farther and farther from the center of town.
Katalina: I don't see any soldiers out here, but there are more than enough monsters to make up for their absence.
Lecia: True, but don't let your guard down. The empire's placed soldiers in every little nook and cranny of this island.
Katalina: What? You make it sound as if the empire is occupying Amalthea...
Lecia: ...
Rackam: Yep... I think I'm starting to see the bigger picture here. This island's definitely in a crisis.
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 42: Chaos Abounds - Episode 4: Scene 3
Once safely inside the hideout, Lecia divulges what's happened on Amalthea. The crew agrees to back her up in exchange for potential information concerning Vyrn's origins.
Lecia eventually brings the crew to a small cabin out in the woods.
Skyfarer 1: Captain Lecia! Good to see you safe and sound.
Skyfarer 2: Captain... According to recon, the troops in the western forest have been almost completely wiped out...
Lecia: Understood. It's hard to get your hopes up in a situation like this.
Lecia: Please report back to recon and tell them to check the emergency bunkers throughout the island.
Lecia: Among them, old abandoned-looking ones take the most precedence.
Lecia: Word from HQ is that almost all of the newer bunkers have already been overrun with suppressive force.
Skyfarer 2: Yes ma'am!
Eugen: Well... For the time bein', it looks like there aren't any enemies around here at least.
Katalina: So tell us, Lecia. What's happened here?
Lecia: ...
Lecia: Amalthea Island, headquarters of the Fourth Fleet of the Crew of Enforcers, is now being occupied by the Erste Empire.
Lecia: As you know, I left this island for a certain amount of time to visit Mephorash on Ravi Island.
Lecia: During my absence, the imperial army invaded Amalthea Island...
Katalina: Wait. Even if you were absent, Monika was still here, wasn't she?
Lecia: Yes. Monika helmed the Fourth Fleet's retaliation.
Lecia: However—
Rackam: They lost, right? Otherwise this wouldn't be happening right now?
Io: No way! We fought her when we were fleeing Amalthea!
Io: She was small, but ridiculously strong!
Katalina: Yes... I must admit it's hard to believe that Monika could lose so easily.
Lecia: I had my doubts too. I was sure that there was some kind of mistake.
Lecia: But it's all fact. And now Monika is imprisoned in the Fourth Hall jail.
Katalina: Insanity... How did this happen?
Elderly Skyfarer: I can explain that part...
The elderly skyfarer steps forward to address the crew.
Elderly Skyfarer: When the empire invaded, Captain Lecia was absent, but Deputy Captain Monika was here on the island.
Elderly Skyfarer: So we weren't worried. We were all certain that no matter what happened, we couldn't lose.
Elderly Skyfarer: But the imperial commander... I'm not certain if I should say...
Eugen: Hey now... At this point, let's not hide anything else, all right?
Lecia: Please continue. We can trust these people.
Elderly Skyfarer: Very well... The imperial commander is Lieutenant General Gandharva.
Elderly Skyfarer: He was once a captain for the Crew of Enforcers.
Katalina: What? Then why would he...
Lecia: By the time I joined the Crew of Enforcers, Gandharva had already been kicked out of the crew.
Lecia: So I read the files we had on him, and apparently he had overwhelming skill—rivaling even Monika's power.
Lecia: But he was exceedingly violent and arrogant, and he refused to accept any consequences for his actions.
Lecia: He was at the top of the crew. But after he fought and lost to the Blue Knight in a duel, he was exiled from our crew, never to be seen on this island again.
Rackam: This guy thought he'd pay a little visit to his former home now that he's the empire's lieutenant general, eh?
Io: S-such a powerful guy's out there right now?
Lecia: After defeating Monika, he took over the Fourth Hall as the lieutenant general of the imperial army.
Katalina: So to summarize, he's hijacked your headquarters, and the remaining forces are still resisting.
Vyrn: Whoa now... This is startin' to sound more serious than I coulda imagined!
Lecia: I'm fully aware that the odds are stacked against us. But I don't want to give up.
Lyria: Psst, (Captain)...
Choose: We'll help you.
Lecia: Huh?
Lyria: That's right! As fellow skyfarers, we can't abandon you in a situation like this!
Choose: Good luck with that!
Lecia: Sigh... Th-thank you... I'll do my best.
Lyria: No! (Captain), that's not what I meant...
Lyria: Don't you think we could help Lecia and her crew?
Continue 1Katalina: Well, I suppose... With the situation as it is now, we can't accomplish what we came here for.
Lecia: Speaking of... Why did you come to Amalthea?
Katalina explains to Lecia what's happened since they parted ways on Ravi Island.
Lecia: What, no way... I can't believe the prime minister would do such a thing...
Katalina: So you see, we need information.
Lecia: Information on that winged lizard? Would we even have anything like that?
Lecia: Well, the Fourth Hall archive does contain all kinds of reference material from all over the Skydoms.
Rackam: Great! Then that settles it!
Rackam: We help you guys out with your infestation problem, and you guys help us gather info. Deal?
Lecia: Uhh... I guess desperate times call for desperate measures.
Lyria: Great! I think we'll get along well, Lecia!
Lyria and Lecia exchange a smile, solidifying the temporary alliance between the Grandcypher's crew and the Enforcers.
Little do they know that the bond they have just formed will go on to cause reverberations throughout the Phantagrande Skydom.
