Zeta's Fate
The crew stops at an island at Zeta's request. She immediately runs off to meet the lord of the island alone, but the crew chases after her her out of worry.
As the crew nears an island, Zeta suddenly starts making a fuss.
Zeta: Excuse me! I have a request!
Katalina: What's the matter, Zeta? You're almost acting politely for once...
Zeta: I've got some things to take care of on that island... Can we make a quick stop?
Katalina: Hm... I suppose we don't have any urgent business. I don't mind, but what's this all about?
Zeta: I heard an unsettling rumor about the island. I just want to check it out.
The airship changes course and soon arrives at the island's port.
Zeta: See you guys later! I'm just gonna meet with someone real quick!
Vyrn: Hey! Who are you in such a hurry to see?
Zeta: The lord of this island!
Vyrn: Did she say lord? What does she have to do with a lord?
Katalina: Hmm... I might have an idea...
Vyrn: You know something?
Katalina: Well, I can't remember it exactly, but...
Katalina: I once heard a story about a beautiful blonde knight who became a wanted criminal after insulting an island lord.
Katalina: Or something like that. Could it be Zeta?
Vyrn: So you're thinking this lord and the lord from your story are the same?
Katalina: Could be. I certainly hope she's not here to get revenge for that arrest warrant...
Vyrn: We can't just sit on our tails if she's in danger! Let's go, (Captain)!
Vyrn: Hey! Red!
Zeta: Huh? What are you doing here, Vyrn? (Captain) and Katalina, you guys too... I thought I told you all to wait on the airship!
Katalina: Yes, but we were worried. We thought you might be out for payback...
Zeta: How do you know about that? Fine, whatever.
Zeta: I just didn't want to drag you guys into problems from my past.
Ruffian 1: Hey. That woman... Isn't she the one on the wanted sign?
Ruffian 2: Looks like it. How much is the reward?
Ruffian 1: Who cares. We can check after we turn her in. Let's go.
Zeta: See? I told you guys there'd be trouble.
Zeta's Fate: Scene 2
Zeta explains that she became a wanted criminal on the island after turning down an offer from its lord. The crew arrives at the lord's mansion, which is suspiciously run-down, and Zeta thinks that it may be the work of the Foe.
Katalina: Zeta, what happened on this island? I can't imagine you being treated as a criminal...
Zeta: Um... It's sort of hard to...
Zeta: Oh, all right! I'll talk!
Zeta: I used to be in the order of knights here for a little while. We ended up not getting along.
Vyrn: Red... Don't tell me you attacked the lord when you left...
Zeta: Of course not! You know me better than that!
Zeta: They told me I had to become the lord's adopted daughter if I wanted a promotion. I was so mad I stormed right out of there!
Katalina: And the lord took that as an insult...
Zeta: I guess so. And that's why the rumor I heard about this place is bothering me.
Katalina: What rumor?
Zeta: Apparently the lord has been acting strangely. You saw it right? There's something off about the town...
Zeta: It was much nicer when I used to live here.
Zeta: So I came to find out what happened.
Vyrn: I see. All right! We've come this far already, so we'll go with you to this lord's place!
Zeta: Huh? Now wait just a minute!
Katalina: Haha. We can't let our friend go charging off into danger alone.
Zeta: You're all such softies!
Katalina: Is this really the lord's mansion? It looks like it's seen better days.
Zeta: I knew it. There's something wrong here. It doesn't even look like they clean the place!
Monster: Groaar!
Vyrn: Whoa! Monsters!
Zeta: I hate to admit it, but this could be the work of the Foe.
Zeta's Fate: Scene 3
The crew arrives at the lord's room, but his words make no sense. Zeta runs out of patience and pierces his chest with a spear, revealing that the lord is actually a monster in disguise.
The crew makes its way through the mansion and arrives at the lord's room.
Zeta has a bad feeling about what awaits as she places her hand on the doorknob.
Zeta: Hello! I'm coming in!
Lord: Who are you?
Zeta: Excuse me? You wanted to adopt me, and you forget who I am? What's the big idea?
Lord: Adopt, adopt, adopt... Hm...
Lord: I'm more concerned about the state of the town than some silly adoption.
Zeta: Is that so? Then why's the town completely run-down, and why aren't the knights doing anything about it?
Lord: I replaced them with monsters. I was told to bring disorder. By the way, did you say you wanted to be my adopted daughter?
Lord: I've adopted so many monsters, and a few straggling knights are still around. But adding a daughter? Hm, not sure about that.
Zeta: Huh? What are you even talking about? You're not making any sense!
Zeta: Actually who are you? Because you're clearly not the lord. Are you disguising yourself with magic?
Lord: I've been the lord here for many years... But...
Lord: I was told to bring disorder... I'm just a minion after all...
Zeta: Oh, forget this!
Zeta pierces the lord's chest with her spear.
Vyrn: Hey! Have you lost it?
Lord:
Lord: Ngh... Grrr!
Zeta: Just as I thought. Those knights couldn't even see through a simple ruse like this? Pathetic!
Zeta's Fate: Scene 4
After defeating the fake island lord and rescuing the real one, Zeta discovers that the matter concerning her adoption and promotion was a misunderstanding. Though the dispute has been settled, (Captain) continues to worry about Zeta's mention of the Foe.
(Captain) and crew defeat the imposter and rescue the lord of the island.
Zeta: You're lucky we came by. This island would have been done for if we hadn't.
Lord: I apologize. No... I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Vyrn: Bet you're glad to be safe and sound!
Lord: Yes... It seems their goal was to make me watch as the town was run into the ground.
Vyrn: What's up with that? What kind of crazy person wants to do that?
Lord: I have no idea either, but...
Lord: Zeta, you are every bit as skilled as they say. I would have liked to welcome you as my daughter.
Zeta: Please! I left the island because you used that as a condition to get a promotion.
Lord: What? I arranged no such thing.
Zeta: Huh? What do you mean? I heard it straight from the leader of the knights!
Lord: I never made an official statement about it. I did mention it in passing, but... it seems the leader acted without my orders.
Zeta: I sure wish someone had told me sooner...
Zeta: No wonder I didn't get along with that order. It's almost funny now.
Lord: It seems there was a misunderstanding. And I lost my top knight because of it. How foolish.
Zeta: I sure don't regret it though. I was able to save the town thanks to the skills I gained out in the world.
Lord: I see... Zeta, I'd like to ask one thing of you.
Zeta: Mmm? What is it?
Lord: I want you to come back to this island one day so I can thank you properly at that time. I'd do so now, but with the town as it is...
Zeta: Okay. I'll take care of the root of the problem by then.
Vyrn: We'll be seeing you around, island lord.
And so the crew leaves the island.
Zeta: Ugh... How exhausting. That sucked as much as I knew it would.
Vyrn: But you're not a wanted criminal anymore, so it all worked out, right?
Zeta: I guess so...
Vyrn: Sheesh, what a surprise! If you had been adopted by that lord, you'd be Princess Zeta right now.
Zeta: What? P-Princess Zeta? Cut it out!
Choose: Long live Princess Zeta!
Zeta: Agh! You too, (Captain)?
Vyrn: Lookie here! Red's redder than ever! Don't be shy, Your Highness!
Zeta: Ugh! I thought I said zip it, Vyrn!
Choose: That doesn't really suit Zeta.
Zeta: Excuse me? I mean, you have a point and all, but you could at least let me say that. What are you implying, (Captain)?
Zeta: Now I'm pissed! Get over here, (Captain)! We're gonna duke it out like true knights!

And so another of Zeta's adventures comes to an end.
But Zeta's mention of the Foe will bother (Captain) for many days to come.
