Into the Granblue
The crew encounters Cailana, a daredevil surfer looking to ride the waves of Leviathan, during their last vacation of the summer. Eager to improve her skills by riding waves across the islands, Cailana joins the crew.
(Captain) and the crew are spending the last days of their summer vacation in Auguste.
???: Whoa!
Vyrn: Ha-ha! She's out there riding the waves again today!
Lyria: Yeah! The championship's coming up soon. It looks so fun!
The girl speeds ahead on the waves, and makes a perfect turn as she dances through the air.
The party is unable to turn its eyes away from the girl's effortless command of her board.
Suddenly a man appears.
Fisherman: That girl better come back to shore soon or she's gonna sprout fins!
Girl: Give her a break, Dad! The championship's just a little way off.
Vyrn: Heyo! Good to see you out on the beach.
Girl: Yep. I got up early to dive for oysters and haul them to the Fisherman's Guild.
Fisherman: Guess you could say the oyster's her world, huh kids?
Girl: Dad, cut it out! We were all just about to have a late breakfast.
Lyria: Oh, so you came down here to get Cailana!
Girl: Yeah! Over here, Cailana!
Cailana: Morning! I'll be right there. The wind's still blowing, so let me catch another wave!
Fisherman: Looks like her hands are tied... by the tide!
Girl: Hey (Captain), you guys wanna come eat with us?
Vyrn: Huh? Are you sure?
Girl: Of course! You did everyone in Auguste a huge favor by beating those monsters.
The party joins the three locals for a breakfast of grilled seafood.
Vyrn: This crab is so sweet and delicious!
Fisherman: That's good to hear. I wouldn't want our little catch to crab your style.
Girl: Eat as much as you want, (Captain). And enough of the weird jokes already, Dad!
Fisherman: What, you want me to clam up? To crawl into my shell?
Girl: Don't use me to make excuses for your bad jokes, Dad!
Fisherman: My own daughter's carping on my sense of humor!
Cailana: I love your ocean jokes, gramps. Keep 'em coming!
Cailana: You're skyfarers, right? So, like, you sail across the sky on an airship?
Lyria: We do!
Fisherman: Well isn't that just as cool as a sea cucumber?
Cailana: Ha-ha! I love it! So, is gramps right? Has it been as cool as a sea cucumber?
Lyria: Yes, it's been a very nice trip!
Cailana: That sounds like so much fun! I've always wanted to see the world beyond this island someday.
Vyrn: Really?
Cailana: Auguste's great, but I want to see the ocean on other islands... and surf their waves, of course.
Cailana: My dream's to be a pro surfer, but my tournament results aren't there yet.
Vyrn: Really? I guess even as good as you are, there are still people who are better.
Cailana: That's why I want to surf as many beaches as I can. I figure it'll help me grow as a surfer, right?
Lyria: That reminds me. I heard there's going to be a surfing championship around here pretty soon!
Cailana: I'll be there for sure. The winner gets an invitation to surf other oceans.
Vyrn: How about that! If you win the championship, your dream of leaving this island will come true!
Cailana: I guess so, huh? The real challenge is off this island, but I've got to compete here first.
Vyrn: We'll be cheering you on!
Cailana: Thanks! I appreciate it!
Cailana: Uh-oh. The wind's changing.
Lyria: Huh?
The air surrounding Cailana suddenly grows tense.
Vyrn: Hey, what's gotten into you?
Cailana: That smell!
Lyria: What's happening?
Vyrn: What's wrong, Lyria? Is something happening with Surfer Girl here?
Cradling her board under one arm, Cailana runs toward the ocean.
One giant whirlpool forms after another, as if the seabed itself is twisting.
Vyrn: What in the sky's going on with the sea? Wait up, Surfer Girl!
Filled with determination, Cailana rushes into the water.
As Cailana's board enters the surf, she catches the riptide and begins moving away from the shore.
Cailana: Whew... Huff, huff...
Lyria: Vyrn, it's Levia—
A thick wall of water begins advancing towards the crew.
Vyrn: Whoa! Where'd that come from?
At the same time, waves of tremendous height rise up just offshore.
Cailana: It's been a while since we've had winds like this!
Cailana: Today I'm going to ride this wave to the end. Come on, big guy!
The gigantic wave bears down on Cailana.
Cailana: Haaah!
Vyrn:
Vyrn: Surfer Girl's riding that giant wave!
Cailana: ...!
Cailana hits the heavy wave directly, and struggles to stay above water.
Cailana: Ah!
Despite her good effort, the force of the water pulls Cailana under.
Lyria: Cailana! No!
Fisherman: Get to high ground, everyone! The waves'll swallow you up!
Girl: But Dad, Cailana's in danger!
Fisherman: She'll be okay. She might have wiped out, but she'll be okay. Worry about yourselves for now!
(Captain) and the crew obey the fisherman's commands, and flee for higher ground.
The waves smash against the shoreline. The spray has enough force to almost reach the top of the cliffside.
As the great wave begins to recede, the whirlpools, too, slowly lose strength and vanish.
Vyrn: What the heck makes waves like that?
Girl: Dad, I don't see Cailana anywhere!
Vyrn: Yeah, where'd she—
Cailana: Aaagh! I was this close!
Girl: Thank goodness you're safe, Cailana!
The party breathes a sigh of relief as Cailana's face peeks out from beneath the water.
Fisherman: That was the most foolish thing I've seen in my life! Made it out unscathed, at least.
Cailana: I was this close to riding it. I didn't think it'd be so big, but next time...
Fisherman: What in the sky do you think you're saying? There's not gonna be a next time!
Cailana: No need to get up in arms! I'm safe and sound, right?
Fisherman: Pure luck! You could've died!
Cailana: But I didn't, did I? And besides, it's not every day we get waves like this. I'm gonna go check 'em out.
Girl: Hold up, Cailana! I'm coming too!
Ignoring the fisherman's pleas, Cailana heads back to the shore, fisherman's daughter in tow.
Fisherman: That girl's got a bad case of surf brain, but I suppose there's not much I can do to stop her.
Vyrn: Y-yeah...
Lyria: Those waves seem to be coming from Leviathan.
Fisherman: That's exactly right, young miss. The one and only Leviathan's behind this.
Vyrn: Oh, yeah?
Fisherman: Every surfer in the sky wants to catch one of Leviathan's cascade waves.
Fisherman: They're truly legendary. Many have tried, but none have managed to successfully ride one yet.
Fisherman: She's no different. Just when it seems like she's about to tame the beast... Sploosh.
Fisherman: Talented as heck, but not enough fear for her own good.
Fisherman: She's stubborn, won't listen, and that devil-may-care attitude is gonna get her killed one day.
Vyrn: I can really feel this guy's frustration!
Monster: Squrrk!
Vyrn: We've got monsters, (Captain)! Get ready!
Vyrn: That last wave must have pulled up a bunch of sea monsters!
Fisherman: You folks sure are tough. I almost got carried away watching you!
Vyrn: Once (Captain) gets involved, we're sure to get things sorted out!
Fisherman: Hm, the bonds you share seem quite resilient.
Cailana: Hey gramps!
Vyrn: Huh?
Cailana: About the wave from before... Wait, what's with this monster?
Fisherman: These lads here took care of the monster lickety split!
Cailana: Wow, you guys are amazing!
Lyria: Done watching the waves, Cailana?
Cailana: Yeah, I'm good for now. There won't be any waves that big again today.
Fisherman: Ahem... Were you about to say something before, Cailana?
Cailana: Yeah, sorry about what happened back there. I'll be more careful. Oh, and there's a squall coming!
Fisherman: You don't seem concerned at all.
Vyrn: A squall's coming? But it's totally clear out!
Cailana: Yeah! It'll be here in—sniff, sniff—just a couple of minutes.
Fisherman: Don't underestimate her sense of smell, skyfarers!
Fisherman: Unless you're trying to get wet, you'd better get somewhere with a roof!
(Captain) and the crew hurry into a beach house to wait out the rain.
Soon, the day of the surfing competition arrives.
Vyrn: She's doing it! She's really doing it!
Lyria: We're rooting you on, Cailana!
Cailana: Thanks for cheering me on, everyone! Yay!
Onlooker 1: Good luck out there, mermaid! We're all rooting for you!
Onlooker 2: Lookin' gorgeous, mermaid! Over here!
Cailana: They're all watching me! Whoohoo!
Fisherman: Sigh... She's getting distracted during a competition again.
The cheers from the crowd destroy Cailana's focus, causing her to make a series of mistakes. She doesn't place.
Vyrn: What a shame! Your moves were amazing!
Cailana: Sorry, everyone!
After the tournament, Cailana visits the crew.
Cailana: Glad to see you're still here. You're about to head out, aren't you?
Vyrn: Really sorry about what happened during the competition, Surfer Girl. I had a blast watching, if that makes you feel better!
Cailana: Thanks! I actually have a little favor to ask you guys.
Vyrn: Huh?
Cailana: Can I follow you on your trip?
Fisherman: What?
Lyria: Oh my gosh!
Cailana: I've been thinking about it since yesterday. I may not win the competition, but I can still tag along with you, (Captain).
Cailana: Gotta admit, when I heard you guys travel the skies, I got really jealous.
Cailana: If I want to get better, I have to see other oceans, and experience other waves for myself!
Fisherman: Don't get ahead of yourself, Cailana.
Cailana: I've already made up my mind, so—
Fisherman: So wait. You think you know everything, don't you? You're not a bad surfer... but you cod... do better.
Cailana: ...
Fisherman: What do you want to do about her request, (Captain)?
Fisherman: Bunch of softies, aren't you?
Choose: Let me think about it.
Fisherman: Hm, not a simple matter to consider, is it?

Fisherman: This journey of theirs is no laughing matter, Cailana.
Cailana: I get that. I don't plan on goofing around.
Fisherman: You don't seem to get it at all.
Fisherman: They're risking their lives on a dangerous journey, you know.
Fisherman: Once you join them, anything you do could put them in danger.
Fisherman: And when monsters appear, you're going to have to fight right alongside everyone else.
Fisherman: Can you prove to me that you really understand that, Cailana?
Cailana: ...
Fisherman: Because if you can't, I'm going to stop you no matter what (Captain) happens to say.
Cailana: I...
Cailana: I love surfing. And I want see what the waves on all the other islands out there have to offer.
Cailana: But I also want to pay back everyone here who's helped me.
Cailana: Surfing's all I know, but I'll help in any way I can.
Cailana: Isn't that enough?
Girl: (Captain), Dad... Cailana's really given this some thought.
Fisherman: Does she have your seal of approval, (Captain)?
Choose: We'll have a halibut time!
Fisherman: Hm. Three out of ten, that one.
Vyrn: Talk about the cod calling the cuttlefish black.
Vyrn: Clam down, (Captain)! You've dolphinitely gotta scale back on the fish puns!

Cailana: I liked the joke! Anyway, thanks for having me aboard!
Cailana: Take good care of Auguste's sea while I'm away, you two!
Fisherman: Didn't take long for her to change her tune!
Lyria: Thank you for coming aboard, Cailana!
And thus, the free-spirited wave rider joins (Captain) and the crew.
Cailana boards the Grandcypher, eagerly awaiting the high-flying adventures to come.
