Heart to Heart, Fist to Fist
Feather gets fired up after dreaming of a long-lost rival. Sensing that their reunion is close at hand, he wakes (Captain) and begs to take a request from the Knickknack Shack as soon as possible.
On a distant island, in a distant town, Feather exchanges words with a certain pink-haired man.
Feather: Check it out! The weather's perfect!
Feather: The world's practically tellin' us it's all gonna be okay!
The man nods.
Feather: Look. We go way back, don't we?
Feather: But I never got the chance to share a battle with you! That's my greatest regret!
The man is about to respond, but Feather stops him, balling his fist remorsefully.
Feather: No! I should be the one to apologize! I'm too weak, and you just couldn't bring yourself to raise your hand against a weakling like me. Isn't that right?
Feather: So I'm going to get stronger. I'm going to fight the strongest foes in the sky with these fists of mine!
Feather: And when we meet again, you'll have to fight me!
Feather: Hm? What was that? Oh, of course! I wouldn't dare put myself in danger!
Feather: Right on! We may not have matched fists, but I still know exactly what you're thinking!
Feather: Well, off I go! Till we meet again!
Feather: Sigh...
Feather: ...
Feather: Was that a... dream?
It's early. The sun's only just beginning to rise; it's not enough to warm Feather's cold, uncovered head.
Feather: I can't just stay here!
His mind reawakened and firing on all cylinders, Feather leaps out of bed and heads for the door.
Meanwhile Vyrn is slumped over (Captain)'s face back in their room, fast asleep.
Vyrn: Yawn... Lemme sleep a little longer, (Captain). You should too. You had a long night.
After slowly pushing Vyrn aside, (Captain) readjusts the covers and goes back to sleep.
Choose: Slowly push him aside.
Vyrn: I-I ain't gonna...
Vyrn refuses to let go of (Captain)'s face.
With sleepiness once again encroaching, (Captain) gives up on dislodging Vyrn and goes back to sleep.

Feather: (Captain)! (Captain), wake up!
Vyrn: What the?
Surprised by Feather's early-morning alarm, (Captain) and Vyrn leap out of bed in confusion.
Lyria: Oh my gosh! What's the matter?
Lyria has been roused from her slumber in the room next door as well, sleepily stumbling into the hallway.
Vyrn: Hey, Feather! What's the big idea?
Feather: (Captain)! I can't just stay here!
Feather: He's out there somewhere, and when I think about all the conversations he's having with his fists, I get all fired up! I won't lose!
Lyria: Um... You're not going to lose what exactly?
Vyrn, Lyria, and (Captain) haven't quite finished waking up yet. Feather's words aren't connecting.
Feather: He and I are competing to have the strongest fists in the sky! I'm sure he's out there somewhere getting stronger as we speak!
Vyrn: Who's he? And would it kill you to calm down a little?
Feather: Yes! It would!
Lyria: Oh my gosh!
Feather's outburst shocks (Captain) and company to their senses.
Feather: As long as we're striving to be the strongest, I can't—no, we can't—afford to stand still!
Vyrn: Uh-huh? We're still not really sure what's going on though.
Vyrn may be thinking with a clear head now, but he still doesn't quite understand what Feather's talking about.
Feather: If you're feeling well rested, let's match fists, (Captain)!
With tremendous sighs, (Captain) and the others suddenly feel the energy drain out of them.
Vyrn: And that's why we suddenly came running into the hall.
Lyria: Oh... I thought a monster must have shown up. I'm glad it was nothing!
Having calmed down, Feather explains the dream he had that morning.
It was a dream from his past. A dream from the moment he made a promise to an old friend from his hometown.
Feather: Sorry about what happened earlier. I never meant to cause you guys any trouble.
Feather: I just... got impatient after that dream I had of him.
Vyrn: Wow. I've never heard of this childhood friend of yours!
Feather: I still haven't had a chance to talk to him with my fists. I was too green at the time.
Feather: But I want to light a match and set his thirst for battle ablaze. I promised him I'd make him use his fists the next time we meet!
Vyrn: But you have no idea where he is right now?
Feather: Right. I'm sure we'll run into each other eventually though.
Feather: I'm definitely going to match fists with him before I encounter the Inquisitor!
Feather: That dream must have been a sign from the heavens! A sign that we're going to settle our score!
Vyrn: Uh-huh...
Feather: Anyway! We're gonna go get a request, right, (Captain)?
Feather: Let's go take a monster extermination gig or something! Right now!
With Feather leading the charge, (Captain) and company head to the Knickknack Shack far earlier than anticipated.
Heart to Heart, Fist to Fist: Scene 2
The crew stops to eat before heading to the Knickknack Shack and hears rumors of a terrifyingly powerful monster. Feather's interest is piqued at the prospect of facing such a powerful foe.
Before taking a request, (Captain) and company head to a local cafeteria to eat, where they hear a strange rumor.
Guest 1: So you locked up with fear the minute your eyes met?
Guest 2: Yeah. I was expecting to die, man. The fact that I'm even here to tell you this feels like a miracle.
Vyrn: That sounds suspicious!
Feather: Hey, you! Can you tell me more about what you're talking about?
Guest 1: You must not be from around here. We're talking about a monster that's got everyone in the village scared out of their minds!
Guest 1: Five groups have tried to take it out this month alone, and they've all failed.
Guest 1: It's only a matter of time until the whole village falls to that thing.
Feather: The monster's that strong?
Guest 2: Monster's too nice a word. That thing's an atrocity. If you're prepared to go after it, be prepared to die.
Vyrn: Whoa... That's got bad news written all over it.
Lyria: Hmm... I'm not sensing a primal beast, so it's probably just a regular monster.
Feather: Gotcha! I don't care if it's a primal or not! I was looking for a chance to fight something tough, and life delivered!
Guest 2: Before I forget to mention it, that thing's driven all the nearby monsters into a frenzy. Be careful out there!
After finishing their meal, the crew hurries back to the Knickknack Shack.
Heart to Heart, Fist to Fist: Scene 3
Feather is overjoyed to find his pink-haired rival Randall, who turns out to be the very same rival he dreamed about earlier that day. The two decide to settle things with a race to see who can fulfill Siero's monster-extermination request the fastest.
Someone else is already speaking to Siero by the time the crew arrives.
???: I told you I can handle this by myself!
Sierokarte: Of course, of course! I'm not doubting your abilities, Randall. Just making sure you understand how dangerous the request is!
A young man with long, pink hair is aggressively arguing with the head of the Knickknack Shack.
Randall is a crew member
Lyria: Huh? That pink hair looks awfully familiar...
Feather: Is that you, Randall? It is, isn't it!
Randall: Feather? What the hell are you doing here?
Randall is a crew member
Vyrn: Well, if it isn't the Randster! What brings you to the Knickknack Shack?
Vyrn: And... wait a sec, you two know each other?
Randall: Do we know each other? Do you have any idea how long I've been searching for this idiot?
Randall not in crew
Vyrn: Hm? This an acquaintance of yours, Feather?
Feather: An acquaintance? This guy's the super strong frenemy I dreamt about this morning!
Randall: Who are you calling a frenemy?
Randall: We've got a long and painful history together, sure, but I don't remember acknowledging you as my—
Feather: This is unbelievable! I can't believe we ran into each other here!
Feather: Everything good, Randall? Hahaha! I knew I had that dream for a reason!
Randall: I see your habit of interrupting others remains in full effect.
Randall: Humph! Fine. I've been waiting for this day.
Randall: It seems it was the will of the stars for us to meet here. And today... I'll put you away for good!
Randall is a crew member
Vyrn: Okay, okay! Simmer down, you two!
Lyria: You've finally been reunited, and all you can think about is fighting?
Randall not in crew
Lyria: Um! Could you maybe not fight?
Feather: Don't worry, Lyria! This isn't a fight. We're just gonna share all the stories of our adventures! With our fists!
Vyrn: That sure sounds like a fight to me!
Randall: Who said anything about using fists?
Sierokarte: Oh dear... Care to listen to the request I have, then?
Vyrn: That's right! We came here to get a request!
Lyria: Yes! Which is why you shouldn't fight! Isn't that right, (Captain)?
(Captain) nods vigorously.
Feather: Well, you're the boss. Let's listen to what Siero has to say.
Randall: Humph. We can do it now, or we can do it later. The outcome's not gonna change.
Sierokarte: Let's see... All I have to offer right now is this local monster exterminator job.
Vyrn: Hmm... What're the details?
Sierokarte: Well, you see... A terrible monster has taken up residence in a local cave as of late.
Sierokarte: Everyone sent to defeat it has been wiped out, and the town isn't sure what to do.
Feather: What the? That wouldn't happen to be the super tough monster we heard rumors about, would it?
Sierokarte: I'm afraid so.
Lyria: Uh-oh... Everyone was at a loss about it.
Vyrn: Sounds like just the thing to put (Captain)'s training to the test!
Feather: Same here. I want to see how my fists fare against this thing!
Randall: Hey! What about our big showdown?
Sierokarte has a flash of brilliance.
Sierokarte: Whoever beats the monster boss gets the loot! How does that sound?
Randall: What?
Feather: Excuse me?
Vyrn: Heh heh! Sounds good to me! That'll tell us which one of you is stronger for sure!
Lyria: And this way you won't have to fight each other!
Randall: Humph. If that's how you want it, I'll happily prove my superiority to you by exterminating this monster!
Feather: I'm game! We can match fists after we beat it!
Feather: I'm getting fired up! Haaah!
And just like that, the crew finds themselves caught up in the fiery confrontation between two feisty fighters.
