Platinum Sky II - Chapter 3: Upset - Episode 4

Wild panic overtakes the spectator stands as Rackam drops by to explain that the entire island is enveloped in a storm, making evacuation an impossibility. As Meteon and Maddie calm the crowds, a rampaging monster no one has ever seen suddenly emerges from the storm.

---

News of the approaching tornado stirs unrest among the spectators.

Spectator 3: What's this about a tornado? Are we really safe here? I need to get away fast...

???: Rest assured that preparations for evacuation are underway.

Spectator 3: Huh?

Meteon: I understand your concern.

Spectator 3: M-Meteon?

Meteon: Did you know we have battle-hardened skyfarers here who've been to hell and back more times than I can count? And their airship is just as impressive.

Meteon: Anyway, my point is every single one of us is gonna make it out of here okay. So chin up.

Spectator 3: R-right!

Meteon: I'll need your help to ensure that the evacuation goes smoothly.

Spectator 3: Yeah! Of course!

Spectator 1: Seriously now, what's holding up the line? Let's get moving already!

Spectator 2: Get your mitts off me! We've got too many people around to be shoving each other left and right!

Spectator 1: Like I give a hoot! You're the real problem here, slowpoke!

Spectator 2: You wanna try saying that to my face?

???: Would you two quit moaning already!

Spectator 1: Wha? Maddie!

Maddie: Look, I don't know what your problem is, but you need to cut that crap out.

Spectator 1: But Maddie...

Maddie: What's there to be afraid of? Don't forget we've got an entire flock of racers here who can sail through the roughest storms.

Maddie: As long as you mooks don't mess things up for everyone, this itsy-bitsy tornado might as well be a fart in the wind!

Spectator 1: I-I guess you're right...

Spectator 2: Like I've been saying, everything's gonna be fine.

Spectator 1: I sure as heck don't remember hearing you say that!

Maddie: Shut the hell up already, both of you!

Racers and spectators alike finally come together as one, making the evacuation process relatively painless and efficient.

However, not all is well.

Vyrn: Yikes... That can't be good!

The view from the port suggests a raging storm is brewing around the island, blocking all routes in and out of Nimmus.

Lyria: Even the Grandcypher would have trouble flying through a storm like that...

Rackam: Guys!

Vyrn: Rackam! How's it look? Can we get the ship moving?

Rackam: What do you think? It'd be one heck of a takeoff under these conditions.

Lyria: I thought that'd be the case...

Rackam: We'd stand a decent chance if it were just us. But to get everyone off the island would be a real challenge.

Rackam: I hate to say it, but I can't guarantee everyone's safety.

Vyrn: Aren't there any other ports we could use? Maybe the storm's not as bad elsewhere.

Rackam: That won't work. It's like this all over the island.

Lyria: So then... We're basically trapped here?

Rackam: That's one way to put it.

Vyrn: None of this makes any sense though. Why's the weather so finicky today?

Vyrn: I mean, a hurricane on the island, and a storm all around it?

Rackam: My thoughts exactly, Vyrn. Any chance that this is the work of some primal beast?

Lyria: I doubt it. I don't feel the presence of a primal anywhere on this island.

Vyrn: How do we explain what's happening then!

Vyrn: That storm's almost as bad as the Grim Basin!

Lyria: This is awful! Why would similar conditions be showing up here all of a sudden?

Rackam: ...!
Look, over there!

Monster: ...!

A mysterious creature suddenly appears from the storm, unleashing an earsplitting sound with each flap of its wings.

Lyria: Eep!

Spectator 3: What the! A monster?

Spectator 2: What's it even doing here! Where are we supposed to run to next!

Monster: ...!

Vyrn: I don't think I've ever seen a monster like that!

Monster: ...!

Rackam: Urgh! It's a nasty one.

Rackam: This might even be worse than the Grim Basin.

Lyria: We have to do something before anyone gets hurt!

Vyrn: We're up! C'mon, (Captain)!
