Story Information
Story Dialogue
Huey: A new challenger approaches! All right! The more the merrier!
Huey: The stage is Naverius! It'll be a score attack as contestants race through the Forest!
Huey: We'll take out all the extra Falspawn that appeared because of the revival of the Dark Falz, too, so it'll be two birds with one stone!
Huey: You gotta raise a ruck-- Erm, select worthy opponents and head to the battlefield! I'll be waiting for you!

[PLAYER NAME] arrives in the forest and Afin turns around to them
Afin: Ah, you made it, mate! I've been waitin' for ya.
Afin: Man, I can't believe people are taking this so seriously. I thought it was gonna be a laugh.
Afin: Well, it's been a while since we've paired up. So if we're gonna do it, let's not hold back. Right, mate?
They receive a transmission
Afin: Oh...! Looks like things are about to start.
| A.P.238/4/9 11:00 |

Huey: Testing, testi-- Nah, you think I'd do a mic check? I don't need to do that!
Huey: Since I'm using the power of the photons within my body, I bet you guys hear me just fine. Now how about we get this show on the road!
Huey: Always rarin' and ready to go! It is I, Huey of the Council of Six! Wait, no. Today, I'm host of this wonderful tournament!
Huey: Man... Doing this through a monitor, I have no idea how you guys are reactin'.
Huey: Meh, seems like you're all pretty excited, so I won't worry!
Huey: We appreciate everyone participating in this tournament! Since I'm the host I can't participate, so I'm a little crushed.
Huey: I can't believe they won't let me join! Damn... How could my plan be flawed!?
Huey: Anyway, so this is how the tournament is gonna go. No need to worry about the rules! There's just one thing you need to do!
Huey: The winner will be the strongest among you who makes it the furthest in! That's the whole deal!
Huey: So, all you guys gotta... Hey, quit it! I'm in the middle of speechifying here...!
Klariskrays joins the transmission
Klariskrays: Hey, dammit...! I'm helping run the things too, so let me have a turn at speaking!
Klariskrays: Heh... Well, hello, ARKS ops! Can you hear me? My wonderful, voice!?
Klariskrays: I'm Klariskrays, number five of the Council of Six! I'm also part of the Trio of Heroes!
Klariskrays: I'm helping put the tournament together, too! I hope you're all ready to have fun!
Klariskrays: Especially since I've got something very SPECIAL in store for you guys! Hehehe... Just you wait!
Huey: Listen, Klariskrays! You can't say anything else! You'll ruin the surprise!
Huey: Now then, the tournament is about to begin!
Huey: You listen here, Klariskrays... Stick to the script, all right?
Klariskrays: S-Sorry!
Huey: Now then, the ARKs Tournament...
Klariskrays: Ah! R-Ready! GO!
Huey: Hey...!
The transmission ends and the tournament begins
[PLAYER NAME] and Afin make their way through the forest and arrive in the tundra
| A.P.238/4/9 11:30 |

Afin: Phew. Looks like we're done with the first part. And this seems like a great place to take a break.
Afin: I gotta say, it was a great idea on their part to have the tournament on the planet where we've fought so many Falspawn.
Afin: I think it's helping me deal with my fear and anxiety about the place.
Afin: Kinda like when I asked you to help out with that request, mate.
Afin: But I gotta say... How do I put it? It doesn't feel very dangerous here. It just makes me feel uneasy.
Afin: I guess it's not uneasiness... It's kinda familiar and scary... Argh, I don't really know what to call it!
They receive a transmission
Huey: Hahahaha! Well done, contestants! Are you all having a spectacular time!?
Klariskrays: Huey, Huey! I want to be a part of this too! Can I join?
Huey: Aren't you supposed to be helping ro run this show? Ahem... Never mind that. Tell me, what's it look like right now?
Huey: The current leaders are... Ranger Afin and, uhhh, yeah! That pair!
Klariskrays: I could swear I've heard that name before... Haven't I?
Huey: I'm happy to see young operatives taking the lead! Keep it up, you two!
Huey: Next, we have Oza the Hunter and Marlu the Force!
Huey: It looks like the two intel sisters I've heard so much about are doing quite well!
Klariskrays: Who're they?
Huey: At any rate, you are all pretty evenly matched! I expect to see some fierce competition with some epic comebacks!
Klariskrays: Hey, Huey, why are you just reading everything that's on the page word for word? Is that fun for you?
Huey: I look forward to seeing you all perform in the second half! That is all!
Huey: ...Listen up, Klariskrays. Growing up is a sad state of affairs. Sometimes, we adults even have to rely on cue cards.
Huey: For the moment, why don't you read over the participants' files and try to familiarize yourself with their basic info, okay?
The transmission ends
Afin: Hmm... I'm happy we're in the lead and all... But this is definitely bothering me. I can't really concentrate.
Afin: What is this feeling? Do you not feel it too, mate? Is it just me? Hmm...
[PLAYER NAME] and Afin make their way through the tundra and arrive in the ruins
| A.P.238/4/9 12:00 |
|---|
Afin: Is that so? I see. I think I remember this feeling from another time.
Afin: Like the time you and I first went to Naverius. It feels just like that!
Afin: It feels bad. Like when all those Falspawn were crawling all over everything.
Afin: I hope that doesn't mean there's gonna be a ton of Falspawn here...!
Afin: B-But everything's gonna be okay, isn't it? We've both changed since then. We can deal with whatever comes our way.
Afin: Dammit... Not that I know for sure something's going on in the first place!
Afin: Anyway, we've only gotta make it through this last area! Let's get this over with, mate!
The duo defeat the final enemies in the ruins
Huey: Stop right there! Wonderful! Excellent! Splendid! I've analyzed your every movement!
Huey: Hmmm, these results are somewhat lacking!
Huey: But you had enough guts to make it to the end of the tournament! That's exactly the kinda thing every ARKS operative needs!
Huey: Now go on back to the ship! Everyone's waiting for yo--
The transmission abruptly ends and the sky slowly turns red
Afin: ...! Wh-What's this weird feeling?
Afin: Hey, who's there!? Come out!
???: Ha, you're pretty bright for an ARKS operative.
Apprentice the Vernal appears before them
Apprentice the Vernal: I thought I'd hidden myself well enough to not get in the way, but I guess I'm not used to this body yet.
Afin: You...!
Apprentice: Hmm? Do I look that strange? I believe I look like a proper Newman.
Apprentice: Ah, are you mad that I was spying? What's the harm? It's no big deal. And besides, it was fun.
Apprentice: Plus...
Apprentice: I wanted to see the one who defeated [Elder] with my own eyes.
Afin: "Elder"... You mean that Dark Falz from before!?
Apprentice: No need to be so on edge. I've no intention of stirring up trouble here.
Apprentice: So just relax. I'll be leaving soon anyway.
Apprentice turns around
Afin: Hey!
Apprentice: I don't really feel like discussing it any further, other than perhaps your desire to die.
Afin: That face... No... Who are you!?
Apprentice turns around to Afin
Apprentice: I'm the enemy.
Apprentice: No, I guess strictly speaking you're our enemies?
Apprentice: Usually, I'd kill you soon as look at you, but...
Apprentice turns around once more
Apprentice: I feel calm all of a sudden, so I'll allow you to keep breathing, just this once.
Apprentice: Farewell. The next time we meet, I'll probably kill you. You've been warned.
Apprentice teleports away and the sky returns to normal
Afin: You...saw that just now, right?
[PLAYER NAME] nods
Afin: The way she spoke and acted... That incredible aura of intimidation... Mate, she's...
PLAYER CHOICES: She might be a Dark Falz. or She looked like that masked person.
PLAYER CHOICE 1: She might be a Dark Falz.
Afin: Yeah, I guess...you're right. I mean, you've actually seen one in person, so you'd know best.
PLAYER CHOICE 2: She looked like that masked person.
Afin: Yeah, exactly. She had the same feel as that person we met on Naverius.
Afin: But...this was kinda different. That overwhelming presence of a Dark Falz...
Afin: It was almost like she was holding it in.
Afin: But why? Why did she have that face?
Afin: Sorry, I kinda was out of it for a moment. I don't understand anything that's going on.
Afin: Ha ha... Why are my bad hunches always right?
Afin: It's really annoying when the stuff I don't want to be true always ends up hitting the bullseye.
