Platinum Sky - Chapter 5: Superstar Reborn - Episode 1

(Captain) gets the hang of Nightcypher's acceleration device thanks to Meteon's advice. When the crew goes on about how much fun it is to pilot a speedship, Meteon suddenly runs off to the pit stall.



The next day.
Vyrn: Okay! Now that Fangio's given us all those pointers, let's hit the track and see how we get on, huh?
Lyria: So it's accelerating we've got to work on, right? To go faster than we did in the heats.
Vyrn: We got it right by pure fluke when Sturm and Drang got us with their claw before. Now we need to learn to control it.
Lyria: Well, (Captain) was caught off guard that time.
Vyrn: Come on then. Let's give it a shot.
Vyrn: Umm... It's going from bad to worse.
Lyria: We keep shaking about and drifting off course. What could we be doing wrong?
Vyrn: Well, we're accelerating all right, no question about that. But maintaining the speed while keeping on course seems like a tall order at the moment.
(Captain) and company discuss why they're unable to control the speedship effectively.
Vyrn: Maybe we should try asking Fangio for advice again. He can probably set us straight quicker than we can ourselves.
Just then...
Meteon: ...
Lyria: Hi, Meteon!
Meteon: (Captain), can I talk to you a minute?
(Captain) looks a little puzzled, but nods.
Meteon: First, I wanted to say, I really owe you for what you did at the heats.
Lyria: Um, are you talking about that time (Captain) saved you?
Vyrn: When we stopped you from hitting that rocky mass by pulling in front of you, you mean?
Meteon: Yeah. If you hadn't done that, my career would be over right now. So thanks...
With a shake of the head, (Captain) lets Meteon know that it's fine, but the young champion's spirit still seems crushed.
Meteon: Can I ask? Why did you do that?
Lyria: Sorry?
Vyrn: Why? Well, because... Right?
Lyria: Of course.
Meteon: Huh? You've lost me. What do you mean?
Lyria: Well, you've lost us, asking us why we helped you.
(Captain) nods in agreement.
Lyria: I mean, if someone's in danger and you're in a position to help, you help. That's a given, isn't it?
Vyrn: Yeah, (Captain) just kind of acts on impulse in situations like that.
Meteon: On impulse, huh?
Meteon falls quiet as he seems to ponder the idea. The party is puzzled.
Lyria: Meteon? Are you okay?
Meteon: Hm? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I see.
Meteon: By the way, I saw you practicing before. It's not going too well, huh?
Vyrn: You can say that again!
(Captain) and company explain to Meteon what Fangio had told them.
Meteon: Sounds to me like your technique just isn't up to the speed the ship flies at now. You can't keep up.
Vyrn: Whoa! Call a spade a spade, why don't you?
Lyria: Well, we're all still new to skyracing...
Meteon: Ah, right. I guess it's not something you can master overnight.
Meteon: I tell you what though: I can teach you some tricks. Come on, jump in.
Lyria: Really? Oh wow, Meteon, thanks so much!
Meteon ushers (Captain) into Nightcypher's pilot's seat.
Meteon: So, (Captain), tell me: does going fast scare you?
  1. A little.
  2. Not really.


Choose: A little.

Meteon: Good to see you're honest.
Go to "Continue 1"


Choose: Not really.

Meteon: Humph.
Meteon: I don't know if you really believe that, or you're just trying to sound tough, but the fact is you are afraid. I can see it in your flying.

Continue 1

Meteon: It's nothing to be ashamed of. Going at speeds you're not used to is frightening.
Meteon: But a good racer needs to be able to tame the fear.
Lyria: Tame it how?
Meteon: Well, normally you'd overcome it naturally in time by flying speedships over and over again.
Meteon: But we don't have time for that. So I'm going to show you some tricks to get you there faster.
(Captain) nods and starts to follow Meteon's instructions about various ways to control the ship.
Meteon explains things like maintaining good posture, how to shift weight under acceleration, and how to hold the control stick.
After putting everything into practice, (Captain)'s flying is unrecognizable. Nightcypher cruises steadily with barely a wobble.
Meteon: You learn fast. I can tell you're very brave. Actually, you guys are skyfarers, right?
Lyria: That's right. The airships we fly are nothing like these speedships, but it's still flying at the end of the day.
Meteon: Well, the speed you pick things up and your courage are something else. I'll give you that. But I can also tell you really are new to skyracing.
Meteon: But you still made it through to the main event.
Vyrn: Hehe, pretty impressive, huh?
Meteon: Why are you looking so pleased with yourself? That wasn't supposed to be a compliment exactly. Well, maybe it was...
Lyria: Haha, well, anyway, Meteon, thanks so much for helping us.
(Captain) thanks Meteon as well, before reaching for Nightcypher's control stick once more.
Meteon: Geez, you're going again? You've flown enough for one day. You've got to pace yourself.
  1. I'm fine!
  2. Thanks for the concern.


Choose: I'm fine!

Meteon: You know, it's hard to get a handle on how tired you really are when you're not used to skyracing.
Meteon: Speedship flying really takes its toll on your body, especially accelerating rapidly.
(Captain) gives a wry smile.
Go to "Continue 2"


Choose: Thanks for the concern.

Meteon: Hey, I wasn't trying to... Ugh, something about being around you guys just makes me say stuff. Geez!
(Captain) grins, amused.

Continue 2

Lyria: Haha, I know exactly how (Captain) feels though. It's just so much fun flying speedships!
Vyrn: Yeah, you said we'd have fun before the heats, and, boy, were you right!
Meteon: ...
Lyria: And I bet it's even more fun for you, seeing as you fly even faster than that all the time.
Meteon: I...
Vyrn: Hm? Are you okay?
Meteon: Hm? Yeah, I just, um...
After pausing for a bit, Meteon turns and sprints in the other direction.
Vyrn: Hey, where are you running off to?
Meteon runs back toward the pits, with the party hurriedly rushing after him.
