Langrisser 2 Game Script Compiled by Renolan masomuni@hotmail.com Contents: -Introduction -Menus -Hiring/Equipping -General Post -Hero command -Options -Main Script (All scenarios, includes prologue, dialogue, last words, etc.) -Ending Credits Awhile back I compiled the script for the original Warsong and posted it here. Some time afterwards, someone emailed me saying how it would be cool if I could the same thing for Langrisser(Warsong) 2 as well, seeing how both the ROM and the translation patch are somewhat hard to find. I asked one of the people who did the translating about it, and he not only gave approval, he also sent me a text file containing almost all the English text in the scenarios! So even though my name is on this file, it's really due to the work all the people on the Hiryuu Honyaku translation team... and Masaya, of course (See end of credits section for full details). I'm just the one who put it all together. In other words, don't thank me, thank them. Flaming me is fine though ;). The script has been kept the same as what's in the translation patch except where there's an obvious typo or grammatical error, or where the names become inconsistent. I've marked any place that I've made changes to with a * in case anyone's curious. I've inserted text to say when any given string of dialogue occurs, and also to give voice to the occasional rant. They're all opinions, so feel free to be offended. It won't mean anything (unless you're CJayC). Secondly, this script was written for people who for some reason were unable to get ahold of the translation patch and who still want to know what's going on in the game. It is by no means perfect, and probably has many things omitted. It was never meant to be a 100% comprehensive look at the game, only to provide enough detail for someone to enjoy. So while I've tried to get all the critical lines in, when it comes down to things like whether a character says "Yes, sir" or Roger," (which changes depending on who's alive and who's not) I get lazy. Finally, this game contains a good deal of profanity. Most of you won't care, but for those who do, be forewarned. _______ | | | Menus | |_______| Hiring/Equipping Menu This is where you hire troops and buy items for the upcoming battle.

This is Emperor Bernhart] "Haha... this is Alhazard, legendary sword of evil... [Now view changes to rear. Bernhart stands, hands upraised, in front of a large circle incribed on the floor. In the middle of it is a black sword thrust into the ground, radiating energy] "The key to unlimited power... Sword, give me power... to rule the world!!!" [Rest of intro movie follows. It introduces you briefly to the rest of the characters, but it doesn't show any text] Scenario 1 "Knights of the Rayguard Empire" Prologue: "Tired of travel, Elwin rested for awhile in the small village of Sulras. Elwin got on well with the local people, especially a young magician called Hain - they soon became great friends. One quiet day, Hain burst into the inn where Elwin was staying, and in a fearful tone told him that the Knights of the Rayguard Empire were attacking the village. Hain's childhood friend Riana lived close to where the enemy. Grasping his sword, Elwin went to try and help her. X Win Condition -Death of Baldo X Lose Condition -Death of Elwin -Baldo escapes to bottom-right of the map." >> Turn 1 Hain: There's trouble brewing Elwin! Elwin: What's wrong, Hain? Hain: Soldiers from the Rayguard Empire have taken over the village boundary! Elwin: Doesn't your childhood friend live near the edge of the village? Hain: Yes - she's in danger if we don't do something. You're a good swordsman Elwin, please help! Elwin: Of course. Let's go! >> Villagers move Villager: What's happening? Imperial General: Sir Leon! What should we do about the villagers? Leon: No harm is to be done to them. I will not have this to become a massacre. Laird: You must clear the path for Baldo's retreat. Imperial General: As you command, sir! >> Turn 1 Enemy Phase Baldo I've found the girl we're looking for Sir Leon. Riana: !? Leon: Good. Proceed with haste. Baldo: So you're Riana. Are you going to come willingly or shall I force you? *Riana: Wh... what do you want with me? Leon: It is difficult to explain. I am Leon, commander of the Blue Dragon Knights. We were sent to capture you. Riana: Me...? Leon: His majesty Emperor Bernhart awaits your presence at the capitol. Riana: ... If I come, will you promise not to harm the villagers? Leon: Natually. I will not add to the dishonor of abducting you by murdering defenceless villagers. However, those who raise arms against us will receive no mercy. Riana: I understand... On these conditions I will come with you. Leon: I am greatly in your debt. (Baldo approaches) Baldo: Let's get moving! Riana: Ouch! You don't need to pull so hard! Baldo: Watch your mouth girl! Leon: If she comes to harm it will be revisited to you ten times over... Baldo: Oh... I'll take care of her in the future. (Allied reinforcements arrive) Vigilance: Stop! If you want to capture this village you will have to deal with me! Laird: Sir Leon, the village guards have arrived! Leon: It is of no matter. We must continue as planned with our missio. Vigilance: You will regret this! Leon: We will see. >> Leon moves Leon: Follow me Laird, we will eliminate the adversary! Laird: Yes sir! >> Imperial General moves Imperial General: Why does Baldo have to do this? Leon: ... I have never undertaken an assignment such as this. I am ashamed that we must abduct a young girl. Imperial General: Whatever the mission, it is still an honor to serve under your command. Leon I am grateful that you feel that way. Fight with courage, but do not be reckless. >> Imperial General attacks Time to test my skills! >> Start of turn 2 Hain Elwin, the Empire is going to kidnap Riana? Elwin Why I wonder? No, there's not enough time to consider it, we need to rescue her! >> Elwin attacks You cannot stand in my way! >> Hain attacks Begone imperial scum! >> Vigilance moves This village must be protected! >> Turn 2 enemy phase Baldo This is no fun if I can't exercise my sword! Perhaps I can have a good time with that girl over there... Riana Stop it! That wasn't our agreement! Baldo Shut up! Do you think it matters now that we have you? >> Baldo attacks the villager Hey girl, come over here... Villager Kyaa! Help! Laird Baldo stop! There must be no violence! >> Villager death Kyaa! Riana Why are you so brutal? Baldo Be quiet or you'll be next! Leon Stop! I commanded that there would be no needless violence! Anyone who disobeys orders is not worthy of this force! Baldo ... I will leave the villagers alone from now on Sir. >> Laird moves, turn 2 Sir Leon, let's begin the attack! Leon Be on your guard Laird. The opposition's pikemen may cause problems. Laird I plan to break through the outer defenses and take on the commander directly. Leon As you will. >> Laird attacks Our knights cannot be stopped even by pikemen! Vigilance Stand your ground troops! >> Imperial General moves, turn 2 This guy has already defeated some of my troops... Laird As this is your first campaign I'll give you some advice. Position any of your injured troops next to you and they will slowly recover. This helps to guarantee the survival of your force. Imperial General I will do as you say. >> Start of turn 3 Priest: It will be difficult, but we must hold out until his Lordship arrives. Vigilance Even my pikemen cannot hold them off! They must indeed be the best knights in the world! >> Vigilance attacks I will crush you like an insect! >> Baldo moves, turn 3 Move it, girl! >> Elwin attacks Baldo Face my fury! Baldo: Shit! Get out of my way or you'll feel my sword! Riana: No! Please do not fight! You must not risk your life for me... Elwin: That's ridiculous, of course I'm coming to help you. >> Hain attacks Baldo Riana, I'm coming to save you! Riana: Hain don't! Just get out of here, it's too dangerous! >> Baldo attacked You'll regret that! >> Baldo attacks You must be dumb if you think you can cross me! >> Both Vigilance and Shisai (Priest) defeated Leon I will assist Baldo. Laird Yes sir! >> Leon attacked Be careful. Are you able to fight? (I'm not sure whether this is a bug and Leon is really supposed to say this when Laird dies, or if he's saying a "Are you sure you want to mess with me?" type of thing.) >> Elwin attacks Leon Why has an army come to abduct a young girl? Leon: Concern yourself not with our mission. Elwin: I thought the Blue Dragon Knights believe not just in force but chivalry as well! Haven't you got any honour at all? *Laird: Don't pass judgement when you have no idea what you are talking about! We did not choose this mission, we are following the direct orders of His Majesty Emperor Bernhart! Leon: There is no need to be rash Laird. This assignment should be infallible but I do not want you to die here. Learn that ultimately we decide our own actions - do not disgrace yourself by making excuses. >> Baldo escapes, game over You're Elwin? Thought you could stop me? Ha ha ha! Elwin: But... >> Baldo defeated, scenario clear Fool... Sir Leon! Leon: How could we fail? (If Leon and Laird are still alive) Rolan: Trespassing is forbidden on my territory! Scott: Let's drive them out!<> Hain: It's the Lord's army!<> Laird: Enemy reinforcements have arrived!<> Leon: How unfortunate... We must withdraw.<> Laird: Damn... (If Leon and Laird have been defeated) Rolan: Who trespasses on my territory? What... Scott: The fearsome Blue Dragon Knights have been defeated! Rolan: It looks like we have arrived too late to help! Elwin: We did it. Riana: I am grateful that you rescued me, Sir Swordsman. I'm Riana, a shrine maiden at the Temple of Light. May I ask your name? Elwin: I'm Elwin, a traveller. Riana: Thank you so much Sir Elwin. I don't know how to repay you. *Elwin: There's no need to. Did they hurt you? *Riana: No, I'm fine. I should be asking you that, Sir Elwin. Elwin: Please, there's no need to call me Sir. Just Elwin is fine. Riana: Well then, please call me Riana. Hain: Wow Elwin! You're as strong as I thought! Riana: Hain, thank you for helping too. Rolan: It is not safe to remain here, the knights are bound to return soon with more troops. We can take refuge for the moment in my mansion, it is not far off. Elwin: I understand. Let's leave immediately.<> Dying words: >> Imperial General: I'm sorry Sir Leon... Leon: It is a tragedy for the company to lose so brave a warrior... >> Elwin I...I'm finished... >> Hain It's no good... Elwin, it's up to you now. >> Vigilance Argh! >> Priest Uwaa! >> Leon H...how could the leader of the Blue Dragon Knights have been defeated? >> Laird Sir Leon! I don't think I can continue... Leon: Do not be troubled. I will deal with this by myself! Scenario 2 "Besieged Manor" Prologue: "Elwin safely led Riana to Lord Rolan's manor in Sulras. There, it was decided they would seek refuge for Riana in the Temple of Light in Estol. But forces for the Imperial Empire were about to lead an assault against Rolan's manor. Commander Zolm, General Vargas' right hand man, was to abduct Riana. X Win Condition -Riana escapes to top of map -Enemies defeated X Los Condition -Death of Riana -Death of Elwin" >> Pre-battle. It's night, and Elwin stands alone in front of the gates of the manor. Elwin: I feel uneasy. This conflict seems like a dream... For what reason do the Blue Dragon Knights seek Riana? There is something important about Riana, when the strongest knights of the Rayguard Empire seek her... >> Riana enters. Begin tender music. Whack self. Can't sleep, Sir Elwin? Elwin: Ah... today's events have made me anxious. Please, stop calling me Sir. It feels strange. Riana: I am sorry... I said it inadvertently. It seems as if we knew each other from old times... I don't know why. I think if my father still lived, he would be a strong, gentle person such as you. Ah! I'm sorry. Perhaps I said too much... Elwin: It is all right. Riana, I have heard from Hain about your difficult childhood. Riana: Yes. As a baby, I was left at the entrance to the temple. After that, the people in the temple brought me up as their own. I was not sad because the people were good and kind. Elwin: I see... Riana: Elwin... why are you travelling? If it is all right with you, I would like to know the reason. *Elwin: I am not travelling for some wonderful purpose. My parents died when I was a sleeping as a small boy... Since then, a traveller named Doren took care of me. He was like a father to me. I learned much from Doren, especially swordplay. He is dead now... but... Riana: But...? Elwin: Who killed Doren? That is why I am travelling. I must avenge his death. Riana: I am sorry... I have recalled a painful memory... Elwin: Please don't worry. ...It's getting late. Let's call it a night. Riana: ...Good night, Elwin... >> Fade out. It's dawn now, and all the characters have been placed. Rolan: Well, was everyone able to sleep well? Hain: Yes, I was sound asleep. Rolan: Whether that will be possible in the future... Defending Riana from the Empire's army will indeed be near impossible... I am but a local lord, and the Empire seems to be serious about obtaining Riana... Scott: I don't think the Empire seeks to harm Miss Riana. Since the Empire has been expanding its borders, they probably have some military purpose for Miss Riana. Rolan: This premonition I feel is very strong... I don't think I can defend Riana much longer... Riana: Wait... Is the Shinto Priest of Estol not strong? I know him well, he will surely help us against the Empire. Hain: That's right! However, Estol is far, and it would be dangerous for Riana to travel alone. I will be glad to accompany her. Elwin: The empire still seeks Riana... Well, since I travel without any particular destination, I will go as well. Riana: Thank you, everyone! Scott: Father! Please let me go too! I desire to travel and learn. Rolan: ...Alright. It is good experience to travel. Learn well from your experiences. Elwin, watch over Riana well. Scott, be careful... Scott: Yes, father. Hain: Well then, let's travel to the temple carefully. It is a long journey... (Allied generals appear) Rolan: Hmm?! What's going on? General: Sir Rolan. Trespassers have been sighted. (Imperial army appears) Zolm: Hahaha! Take note. I am Zolm, commander and right hand man under General Vargas' Fire Dragon Corps. We'll be taking the girl. Elwin: What now?! Rolan: We will hold our position here. All of you escort Riana out the back door. Elwin: Understood. Let's go, everyone! >> Scott selected The Knight and Lord are too strong! Let's try the back entrance. >> Rolan moves We're going to get them! >> Turn 1 enemy phase Zolm: Kill everyone in our way! We shall catch the lass quickly! Imperial General: Leave it to me. Let's move! >> Imperial General (Knight) attacks General You're not getting past me! Imperial General Move! You will die! >> Rolan attacks I'll never forgive them. >> Grey general attacks Don't even think you can make it out alive. >> Elwin attacks Let's go! >> Scott attacks They're not going to stop me! >> Hain attacked Wow! >> One of the characters crosses bridge, enemies appear (Basically the same thing, the person who does the crossing is the one who speaks) Riana: Help! Elwin: What?! An ambush? Riana! Until they are defeated, stay inside! Hain: What?! An ambush!? Rolan: What?! How did they... Scott: Enemies! Zolm: Hahaha! There's no way she'll escape from me!! Elwin: Riana! Retreat at once! Riana: Yes, yes! >> Ambush party moves Whahaha... The girl is ours! >> Riana attacked Riana: Kyaa! Help, Elwin! Elwin: Wait! I'll be right there. Hold on! Imperial General: Just watch me! >> Ambush party attacked You impertinent! Don't even try! >> Turn 6 enemy phase, Zolm attacks You're not getting away so easily. >> Last of ambush party defeated (enemies still at front gates) Elwin: Let's escape through the back! Riana: Yes. >> Riana defeated, game over Zolm: Hahaha! It's too late, too late to do anything. I finally got you. Come with me. Riana: No! Let me go! Zolm: Mission complete. Let's return. Elwin: What happened... I couldn't protect them... >> Riana reaches edge of map, scenario clear Elwin: Retreat, Riana! Riana: O, okay! Zolm: Shit, they got away. After them! Elwin: No way! No matter what, I'm going to protect Riana! Hain: Uwaa... That was close... Let's hurry to Estol! They will surely return. >> All enemies defeated, scenario clear Hain: Yes!! Elwin: Well then, I guess that's all of them. Scott: Come on, let's hurry to Estol! The Imperial soldiers are bound to return. (Regardless of how you did it, Riana is now safe... for the moment.) Elwin: That's right. Let's go, Riana. It's time to escape from the Imperial soldiers. (If all NPCs are still alive) Rolan: Wait. Take this sword. It is the sword I used to use. (Greatsword obtained!) Elwin: Thanks! I'll take good care of it. Rolan: Alright. Be careful. Riana: Thanks, everyone! All this, just for me... Elwin: We do it of our own will. Don't worry about it. Let's go! Riana: Yes! Dying words: >> Elwin To have lost before protecting Riana... >> Hain I must retreat... >> Scott Damn... am I still too weak to fight?! >> Rolan We can't lose here... Scott: Father, you can't go much further at this rate. Please retreat, I'll take care of it. Rolan: I'm sorry... I'm counting on you. >> Zolm Uh! You!! Bastards!!! Don't think you're going to get away with this!! Imperial General: Commander Zolm! Zolm: Listen up! Get the girl! Imperial General: Yes sir! Zolm: I'm counting on you. Rolan: Alright, let's see how they will get through. If they couldn't beat Zolm, there will be no way that they can get to the empire. And it'll be a good chance for Scott to go through this. >> Imperial Generals M, me... losing to you guys... Gahh! Gahh! Fool... Gaaahhhh! Gahh! >> Allied Generals Oow... Rolan... Rolan: Fool... Our soldiers so easily beaten. Ah, shit! We can't lose Riana! Scenario 3 "Mountain Ambush" *Prologue: Elwin and his friends escaped from Zolm's siege and tried to reach the light shrine in Estol. But the leader of the army Zolm was from, General Vargas, had caught them and sent Zolm to kill them. Elwin and his party had to face huge numbers of enemies and fight with a big handicap. X Win Condition -Death of all enemies X Lose Condition -Death of Elwin -Death of Riana" >> Turn 1 Elwin: Riana, are you doing all right? Hain: This mountain pass is quite difficult for a girl. Heck, it's hard even for me. Riana: I'm sorry, everyone. You all are always going through such trouble for my sake... Elwin: No, it's okay. Just don't overdo it. By the way, with sending out the Blue Dragon Knights and the Fire Dragon Corps, the Empire seems to be quite serious about apprehending Riana. Scott: The Fire Dragon Corps is headed by the dreaded General Vargas, a very fearsome man. The four main forces within the Rayguard Empire include the Blue Dragon Knights, the Black Dragon Sorcerers, the Fire Dragon Corps, and the Ice Dragon Navy. To send out one of their main forces is significant, so to send out two of their best armies means that they're after something they feel is really important. Hain: But if what they're after is so important, why would they bother sending someone like Zolm? >> Zolm appears Zolm: What's that?! >> Zolm's army appears, surrounding the party Zolm: Ha-ha-ha! This time I, the great Zolm, will capture that young girl! Hain: Man, is he persistant or what? Elwin: ...Yeah, I'll say. In that case, it might be wise to have Riana stick to someone's side. (This will show up at the beginning of every turn from now on) Will you change the movement orders for Riana? Hain: Well then, will you stick by me? (If yes) Riana: Hain, if you will. Since Elwin and Scott are fighting on the front, I shouldn't get in the way. Hain: Alright! Just leave it to me! Elwin: I'll stay by your side, Riana. (If yes) Riana: Really!? Thank you, Elwin! Elwin: I'll protect you from anything that gets in our way. Just don't get seperated from me. Riana: Okay. Scott: So, will you follow me? (If yes) Riana: Yes, if you please. Elwin: I'm counting on you, Scott! Scott: Yes! I'll do my best! Elwin: So, will you wait for us on the other side of the river? (If yes) Riana: Very well. So I won't be a nuisance, I'll wait, but be careful, everyone. >> Elwin attacks Do not get in our way! We will pass through here! >> Riana attacked Aaaahh! Elwin: Not good! Everybody, protect Riana! >> Turn 3 Scott: Eh! I just had a thought that may come to be a bit surprising to you. Since pikemen, phalanxes, and the like use long spears, it'd be to our advantage if we use foot soldiers, as they can get in close enough to strike the pikemen where it'd be hard for them to retaliate. Hain: But what good are pikemen, then? Scott: Well, foot soldiers are, unfortunately, no match for horsemen and comparable knight types. However, pikemen prove themselves to be quite effective against knight classes, as their long spears can reach the knights well before the knights can get into range to strike. Riana: It seems Scott is quite knowledgable in many things. Scott: Well, my father taught me quite a few things about the art of war. Hain: So I see... It seems that "the great Zolm" is pretty clueless. Zolm: Damned, conceited fool! Do you think that your stingy tactics can defeat the almighty Zolm?! You'll soon see the greatness in my tactical expertise! You'll soon witness that my strength alone will ensure my victory, and there's nothing you twerps can do about it! Ha-ha-ha! Hain: What a big-headed old geezer you are! >> Zolm attacked Ha-ha-ha! I, the great Zolm, will test your strength if you wish to pass! Elwin: You wanna test my strength? I'll show it to you! >> Zolm attacks Riana Zolm: Ha-ha-ha! Running away from me, the Great Zolm!? Riana: Aaaahh! Help me, Elwin! >> Zolm attacks anyone else I'm going to butcher you little annoyances! >> Southern Imperial General defeated Elwin: Riana, Make your way to the south bridge. Riana: Yes. Everybody, do your best! *Elwin: Leave it to me. I'll be sure to lead Riana to safety in Estol! >> First three imperial generals or Zolm defeated, second wave arrives. Imperial General: I'll make sure you die here! Elwin: What!? More soldiers? Zolm: Ha-ha-ha! Here's your strategy! Scott: Oh, that's right! Hain, are you able to use Attack magic? With it, our troops' strength will increase significantly. (If Zolm's still alive) Hain: Oh, yeah... Well then, let's see what Pops here thinks of this! (If Zolm's already been defeated) Hain: Ah, that's right. >> Second wave moves Let's go, everybody! Capture that little girl! >> Imperials attack: I'll make sure I get you. I shall lead you scum to your grave. >> Riana defeated, game over I'm sorry,...I can't... go...any further... (If it was Zolm) Ha-ha-ha! As expected, I, the great Zolm, finally prevailed over you irritants! (If it was Vargas) Gwaa-ha-ha-ha! I'll take that little girl from you! Both Leon and Zolm said that you were formidable opponents... ...yet I found you guys to be no sweat at all! Gwaa-ha-ha-ha! Elwin: Ugh... I'm just not strong enough. >> Second wave defeated Vargas: Heh, you guys did pretty well. However, this game isn't over. We'll take that little girl soon enough! Scott: Ge...General Vargas... Elwin: It looks like he isn't going to let up on us. >> Vargas attacked You'll regret making me so angry! >> The next turn, mystery knight appears between you and Vargas Vargas: Who are you!? Mystery Knight: I have no name to give to the likes of you. If you think you're going to get through me, you're highly mistaken. Vargas: Bastard, to be prepared with phalanxes... Mystery Knight: Hahaha. One must use strategy when selecting soldiers to meet with the enemy. >> The turn after Vargas: Damn you to interfere with my plans! Eeehh, eliminate them! (Vargas retreats) Elwin: Whew.... That ended up not being so catastrophic after all. Riana: Thank you, sir Knight. You saved us from a very dangerous situation. Mystery Knight: Lately there have been quite a few troublemakers around here. Be careful on the road ahead. Now, if you'll excuse me. (Mystery Knight leaves) Hain: ?! Who was that guy? Scott: I've not seen the likes of him before. But since he could afford to hire phalanxes, I'm sure he's a nobleman of some sort. Hain: Hmmm. That voice sound very much like a child's. I wonder if we're around the same age... *Elwin: Anyways, we should concentrate on pushing onward to Estol! *Scott: I suppose you're right. By now Estol is already within sight. Dying words: >> Elwin No good... My body won't move... >> Hain: Dammit! Elwin... You can rely on me in the future! >> Scott: I'm sorry. I must retreat for now...>> Elwin >> Zolm Goddamn it!! I lost again! >> Vargas Bastard, I owe you for this wound! I'll remember this! The next time we meet, I'll give you a bloodbath. >> Imperial Generals Guh! Guah! S... strong... Uah! H, how could I lose!? Uwoo! Arghh..... Scenario 4 "The Light Shrine" Prologue: "With the mysterious knight's help, Elwin and the people defeated General Vargas and tried to reach the light shrine in Estol. If they could reach the shrine, the priest in the shrine could help protect Riana. The Shrine was famous for having lots of strong priests, because it was the main light shrine out of all of them. However, the thing that Elwin and his party saw when they reached the shrine was the Black Dragon Sorcerers from the Rayguard Empire trying to fight their way into the shrine. X Win Condition -Death of Mage Morgan X Lose Condition -Death of Shinto priests -Death of Riana -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 *Morgan: Will you stop your futile resistance soon? You're alive only for now. If you say you wish to fight, just keep in mind that you will not be able to beat me. I would just hate to have to kill you young women. Wah-hah-hah-hah! Shinto Priest: What on earth are your intentions? What is it in here that you want? Morgan: You don't know, do you? I plan on confiscating a stone tablet within this sanctuary. If you value your lives, don't be pathetic and just hand over the stone, otherwise we'll be forced to kill you all. High Priest: You're after the stone tablet that has to do with the seal on Alhazard! Now that I know that, I'll definitely not hand it over to you! Morgan: Oh, really? How disappointing that you're willing to throw away your whole life just because you won't listen to a simple request. Well then, you shall be so kind as to die. (Elwin and company arrive) Scott: Look, the church is under attack! Riana: High Priest! Morgan: So, it's you guys, eh? Well, it seems my timing is perfect. Along with the tablet, I shall take that little girl! Hain: Oh, is that right!? Elwin: While we're fighting, Riana, I want you to stay put. Riana: O, okay. >> Elwin attacks Elwin: That's enough! >> Hain attacks Get a load of my strength! >> Scott attacked Observe my elegant fighting style! Morgan: High Priest.... It is useless to resist us, the Black Dragon Sorcerers. This is your last chance. Why not do the right thing and just give up? Priest: Never! I will never hand over the stone tablet! I can not let you have access to the spell that will release the seal on the demon sword, no matter what your intentions are! *Morgan: Well, then. His majesty Bernhart and my master Lord Eggbert have their reasons. Their intentions are not necessary for you to know (Note: The name Eggbert seriously pisses me off, but it seems to be the accepted spelling of the name among translators. Ah well. He's a cool guy no matter what his name is.) Morgan: You have a choice. Either you hand over the stone tablet, or you all shall die. So, what will it be, all of you? All who interfere will die! >> Thieves attack the shrine Imperial General: Huh huh huh. There's nothing more fun than killing. And there's plenty more of it to do. Shinto Priest: I shall defend this church with my life! Imperial General: Wah hah hah! Run, run!! Imperial General: I've got you! You're gonna die, you piece of trash! >> Riana attacked Elwin: Not good! Riana's been targeted! We must hurry and help her! >> Riana defeated (Pre-charm) Aaaahh! Aaahh... Elwin....! Elwin: No, not this... >> Turn 2 Scott: Watch out for the enemy's Dark Elves. Be careful if you don't engage in melee! Elwin: The elves' defenses are weak, aren't they? Scott: Yes. Therefore you can kill them very quickly if you attack directly. Hain: However... the attack power of these elves is very high, right? Scott: Yes, that's correct. I believe, though, that troops with high defenses will be all right when trying to attack them. Elwin: I see... In that case we should be careful in their vicinity. >> Thieves penetrate outer entrance to shrine. Priest: I will not hand over the tablet! I cannot allow the reawakening of Alhazard! Morgan: The enchanted sword of darkness contains magic power of incredible proportion. Now, after I'm through with you meddlers, you'll be nothing more than zombies! Haaah-hah-hah-hah!! >> Turn 3 Riana: Those people are searching for the stone tablet that will dissolve the seal on the Alhazard. Because of that, we must protect them no matter what. Hain: Eeehhh... What's an Alhazard? Elwin: The Alhazard? Riana: The legendary demon sword of darkness. It's terrible magic power has been kept in secret, the details of which entrusted to me... Scott: The holy sword Langrisser and the dark sword Alhazard. The stuff of legends.... Elwin: Anyway, not interfering with those Imperial goons would be a mistake. >> Shaman attacks Shika shika! >> Turn 4 enemy phase *Morgan: Hmmm... We don't seem to be doing too hot, are we? That's right, Lord Eggbert gave me an interesting magic spell in case the need arises. So, without delay, I shall make use of that small girl. I shall control her soul. ......? Afterwards, she might end up losing it, but that's fine with me. Lebira Tole Lekeseta! Riana: Ah! My...my head... Elwin: Riana! Are you all right!? Morgan: Now, little girl, shread that bad man into little bloody pieces! Riana: ....... Morgan: Hmm, it seems that the spell isn't perfect. Oh, well, it should be okay this once, at least. Hain: What's wrong!? Get a hold of yourself, Riana! Elwin: This is bad... How can we counter that magician's technique? What in the world can we do? Scott: We have to beat that man, Morgan! If we defeat the origin of the spell, I think Riana should regain her senses. Elwin: I see! We have to defeat Morgan! Morgan: Waaahahahaha! You're actually going to fight me?! You really want to become zombies, don't you?! >> Thieves attack after death of first shrine priest Huh huh huh. Who's gonna be next...? Wah hah hah! There's another left to kill. >> Charmed Riana attacks Die! >> Charmed Riana attacks Elwin Morgan: Now, little girl, I will take your precious life. Elwin: No, stop! I don't understand; why are you doing this!? Morgan: Wah-hah! Your efforts have been nothing but a waste! Why not just give up this fight? >> Player attacks Riana Morgan: Haah-hah hah-hah! Isn't this interesting? The fight's getting more exciting by the minute! >> Charmed Riana killed by player Riana: Uuh.... Huh!? I..., I've been manipulated... Everyone, I've... I'm...sorry.... Morgan: Haah-hah hah-hah! I'm in a truly good mood! Thanks, guys, you're good for a laugh! Elwin: Rrgh. We weren't able to defeat that man in time. >> Turn 6, an old friend arrives near shrine entrance. Mystery Knight: The enemy appears to be in strength... Elwin: Who's that!? Are you the knight from before? Mystery Knight: So we meet again. Morgan: Are those reinforcements? Well, isn't that grand? Just itchin' to die, huh? Haah-hah-hah-hah! >> Mystery Knight attacks How long are you going to sulk!? We have to take the rear! >> High priest attacked Augh! Elwin: This isn't looking good. It's important that we defend the priest and the others without fail! >> Turn 10 or certain point on map is crossed: Morgan attacks What surprising people. No matter, you all will fall by my hand. >> Morgan attacked Eeeeek! I've, I've been hurt! >> Morgan attacks Morgan: Taste my power! >> High priest defeated, game over The, the stone tablet...cannot... be surrendered to...! Morgan: Haah hah-hah! Killing people is fun, isn't it? The stone tablet is ours. Well, so long, suckers! Elwin: How could such a thing...? >> Morgan defeated, scenario clear Morgan: Eeeeeek! I've, I've been hurt badly!! You'll live to regret this! Mystery Knight: The enemy has fled... Shinto Priest: Their escaping is no cause to rejoice! They're heading for that town! Priest: My God! That town... Mystery Knight: We have to go after them! Elwin: Who in the world ARE you?! Mystery Knight: I am... Sherry: ...Sherry. I'm glad I could lend you my strength. Scott: ... Sherry...? Where have I met you before...? Riana: Uh.... Huh!? I...I... Elwin: Are you feeling alright? We wounded Morgan in order to break his concentration over his spell on you. Riana: Morgan used me against you... I might've killed you, Elwin! I...I... Elwin: Everyone's all right, so it's okay. Besides... A smile better suits a girl's face. So, please, won't you stop crying? Riana: ...Thank you. Once again, I've been nothing but trouble for you, Elwin. I'm truly very sorry. However, I'm feeling better, so please don't worry. Elwin: Good. Cheer up soon. Riana: Okay. Riana: I'm sorry. Had I attacked you all some more.... Scott: Ah, I almost forgot. By the way, what are we going to do about Riana? Hain: Eventually, the High Priest would've been in trouble... Sherry: Yeah.... but I wonder if Kalxath castle is all right. *In addition to Kalxath, this wonderful place has also been called Kalzas, Karzas, and Kalxthas. For consistency, I've changed all mentions of it in this script to Kalxath, since that seems to be the most common. *Hain: Kalxath castle? Elwin: Okay, we'll head over there to make sure it's all right. However, first we need to deal with those guys who got away. I'm worried about the villagers. Riana: Please, let me fight with you! Hain: No way! It's dangerous for a girl to fight! Riana: It's nothing I can't handle. Because of me, you... Elwin: ...? Riana: ...you all were hurt! Sherry: Appreciate what she's trying to do for you! Unless you don't care about her self-confidence. Elwin: ...... Riana: ...... Elwin: Fine. Now, let's put a stop to Morgan! Sherry: That's right! We can't allow that man or his marauding band to kill those people! (If all three priests are still alive) Shinto Priest: Wait! At least accept our gratitude for saving us. Priest: Thanks to you people, the sanctuary is safe. Please accept this token of thanks. Shinto Priest: Please accept this cross. May good fortune shine over you people on your travels. Elwin: Alright! Let's go, everyone! Elwin: Riana is not evil. It's all due to Morgan's technique. Riana: Thank you.... Please, be careful, everyone... Dying words: >> Elwin No...not like this... >> Hain Ow! No, no more... Sorry, Elwin. >> Scott I'm sorry. I must take my leave now. >> Mystery Knight Impossible, that such a thing... >> Shinto Priests: Aaaahhh! H, help me... *Imperial General: Hehehe, you've got to love the sight of blood... Morgan: Wah-hah! Continue the assault! Let's teach these impetuous fools a lesson! >> Imperial Generals Shi, shikaaa!! Guh! Gwah! I, impossible! You, you bastard! I.... Scenario 7 "A Werewolf Howls" Prologue*: "The damage to the Light Shrine was far worse than people thought and if the Imperial Forces were to attack one more time, Elwin would not be able to protect Riana from them. Also, Mage Morgan was about to escape to the village near the shrine and would probably kill all the villagers for revenge. Elwin and his party pursued Morgan with Sherry, and Riana, who'd also decided to join their fight as a healer. X Win Condition -Death of all enemies within 22 turns -Elwin reaches above map in 22 turns X Lose Condition -Run out of time -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 Morgan: Hurry up! We can't let those guys catch up to us! (Elwin and party appear) Elwin: Oh, so there you are! Morgan: Eeeeeek! They caught up, didn't they? All right, you guys, engage them again! (Two groups of Werewolves are summoned) Werewolf: WAOOON! Scott: Werewolves! Sherry: At our present level, I doubt we'll stand much of a chance against those creatures. Riana: But we can't spend too long fighting the werewolves, lest we lose sight of Morgan. Elwin: All right, let's go! >> Elwin attacks Elwin: This is as far as you go! >> Hain attacks Let's go! >> Riana attacks I'll prove that I can be of use to everyone! >> Morgan moves Morgan: Eeeeeek! For the love of God, if it weren't for those annoying, meddling lowlives, I would've gotten that stone tablet by now... Imperial General: Now, Lord Morgan. I think we should probably retreat into the forest. Morgan: Do you not think I understand that!? Besides, you gave YOU the right to order ME around?! >> Imperial General (Thief) moves Morgan: I'm leaving you behind to fight those guys. Imperial General: But we have no more than some werewolves. We won't be able to win! Morgan: Whaaat? That should be more than enough to defeat those fellows! Just don't worry about it and fight. Imperial General: If that's the case, why are you running away, Morgan, sir? Morgan: Eeeeek!! Shut up and just fight them! Imperial General: This can't be happening... >> Sherry attacked Huh?! You're doing quite well. This time, I'm returning the favor! > Scott attacked I will not be defeated! >> Certain point on map is crossed Morgan: Oh, oh no! I've been chased all the way over here. Hey, you! I'm outta here, so keep those pests company! Imperial General: You, you can't be serious! It's paramount that you, Sir Morgan, remain here until the bitter end! Morgan: Eeerrrgh, how annoying! Morgan: You will not go any farther. Soon you will die! (More werewolves appear) Hain: Hiyaaah!! Watch out, Elwin! There are still more werewolves waiting for us. Elwin: It seems that he has not yet run out of surprises. Watch out as you go ahead. Morgan: Now, let the bloodbath begin! >> Second werewolf group moves Morgan: Now, eat them all up! Werewolf: GAAAAH! >> Certain point on map is crossed Morgan: Honestly, what obstinate fellows. However, they will not advance any farther! (Third set of werewolves appears) Hain: Whaaat, werewolves again?! Morgan: Silence! Those were the only monsters I could get around here. >> Morgan escapes Morgan: Well, I'm out of here. So, everyone, good luck in your battle! Haaah-hah-hah-hah! Imperial General: M-Morgan, sir! Please don't retreat! Morgan: Silence! Don't waste time following me. I know we've come all this way together, but I order you to let up on your flight! (If you haven't triggered both werewolf encounters) Well, I must be off. Now, regarding you guys, please accept my wonderful present. (Werewolves appear) Elwin: Werewolves! I guess he hasn't run out of surprises. Watch out as you go ahead. Elwin: Everybody, hurry! Otherwise, this time we'll lose sight of Morgan! >> Turn 16 Riana We can't allow any more time to pass. Elwin: We've almost lost sight of Morgan as it is. We need to hurry! >> Turn 20 Scott: We're almost out of time. We need to defeat him immediately! Soldier 1 grey] Soldier: We're almost out of time. We need to defeat him now! Elwin: Alright, let's hurry! >> Turn 22 Elwin: Our time's almost up! We have to attack with all of our strength! >> Turn 23 - out of time, game over Scott: Oh, no... We've lost sight of Morgan! Soldier (If Scott is defeated): No! We've lost sight of Morgan! Elwin: How could such a thing... Is this the end...? Elwin: It's useless to pursue Morgan any longer. >> Imperial General (Warlock) escapes *Huff*... *Puff*... I'm coming, Sir Morgan! Wait for me! >> Morgan attacked Eeeek! I didn't think that these swift legged troops would catch up to me. However, they will not defeat me here! >> All enemies defeated or fled, scenario clear Sherry: There's a village not far away. It's important that we catch him quickly. (If Sherry has been defeated) Soldier: I see a village over there. We must hurry and catch him! Elwin: Alright! We'll get Morgan in the village. Dying words: >> Elwin Ugh... Is this the end...? Morgan: Oh, come on, don't be that way. Your life has just run away from you. Waah-hah-hah-hah! >> Hain Uwah! >> Scott Was my training insufficient...? >> Riana I'm sorry. I've been defeated. >> Sherry What's this? I was a little unprepared for this. Teh... Hain: Teh? Why do you make us worry by getting yourself hurt? >> Imperial Generals Morgan, s-sir! I'm not dead yet... Gwah!! Gwah! Morgan: Eeeek! What incompetant servants! I don't have much time left to flee this place. (If first werewolf group has not appeared yet) Morgan: Errgh. Honestly, what insufferable peons I have. However, this is not the end. (Summons werewolves, see the other lines above) >> Werewolves GYAAA! >> *Morgan Egads! Impossible; I've been smitten! However, it's a bit early too think you've caught me. Hain: Damn! He got away! Soldier (If Hain is defeated) This is bad, he fled. Elwin: It couldn't have been helped! We were slowed down by his minions. Scenario 6 "The Lone Warrior" *Prologue: "Elwin and his party managed to defeat the werewolves, and Morgan was left with but a handful of soldiers. But the village was already in front of them and Morgan had already gone in. It seemed that there was something very important to him in the village. People were coming running and screaming from the village, except for one old, brave soldier with sharp eyes. X Win Condition -Death of enemies X Lose Condition -Death of all citizens -Death of Elwin >> Turn 1 Imperial General: Lord Morgan, this village... Morgan: Hmm, this'll do quite nicely. We still have one more task to accomplish. *Imperial General: We demand that you hand over an old document regarding the legend of the Alhazard! Anyone who resists us will be executed! *Morgan: Lady Luck's with us, as we've been brought to the very village where the document about the Alhazard was hidden. After snatching away the stone tablet from Estol and obtaining the document from this village, our master, Lord Eggbert, will be quite pleased. Aaron: I'm afraid I can't let you do that. Morgan: Waah-hah hah-hah! What do you think you, an old man, alone, can accomplish? Pay that geezer no mind. Begin searching for the parchment! Sherry: Did you forget about us? Morgan: Eeeeek! You defeat my werewolves and still you continue to chase me. What insolent people you are. Kill them all!! >> Aaron moves Everyone stay where you are. I'll protect you from danger. Villager: Y, yes. >> Turn 1 enemy phase Imperial General: Sir Morgan! Should both of us break off and attack the guard? Morgan: Yeah. You two go deal with that old man! Imperial General: Yes, sir! Leave it to me! >> Imperial General attacks Well, old timer! Let's see if you've slowed down any with age. >> Shaman attack Shikaaa! Shika shika shika! >> Aaron attacked Morgan: Isn't this battle amusing? All these people screaming, and you standing there wheezing at us! If you're so tired, why don't you just go home, you old windbag? Wah-hah-hah-hah! Aaron: And how do you suppose I do that? >> Aaron attacks I won't allow you to lay one finger on the people of this village! >> Turn 4, enemy phase Morgan: It's time to punish those saucy fellows! Imperial General: Shika shika! Morgan: Eeeek! Hey, try to talk a bit more human-like, okay? >> Town attackers defeated Aaron: Whew... I have to take a breather... Sherry: Teacher! Aaron: Oh, Sherry! I see your sword arm's gotten better! Sherry: Yeah! It took me a while, but I've finally got your fighting style down pat! Aaron: Hmm. It's been a while since my last skirmish, so I'm starting to get a bit tired. In a while I'm gonna need a break. Aaron: It's been a while since I've last fought. I wonder if I'll get an interval sometime soon... >> Turn 7, enemy phase Imperial General: Morgan, sir! We'll aid you in your fight! Morgan: In truth, their coming here was good timing. Now, teach those stupid, conceited fools a lesson! Hain: Huhhh. It's almost as though Morgan thinks he's in luck... Morgan: Hah hah hah! Today, everywhere I go I'm blessed with good fortune. You all will soon see what I'm talking about! Hain: Is that so....? >> Imperial General moves You will not get in the way of sir Morgan! I will strike you down! Morgan: That's what I like to hear. Now, punish these irreverent stooges! >> Imperial General attacks Die! >> Player crosses certain point on map Morgan: It seems the more often I run into you guys, the more I lose. But this time around, I won't fail! Sherry: No matter how many times you try, the outcome will always be the same! Morgan: Eeeek! No, I won't allow it! >> Elwin attacks Morgan Elwin: This ends here! I can't let such a sick and twisted person such as yourself continue with your schemes! Morgan: Eeeeeek! My, what a big mouth you are! >> Villagers attacked Help! Please help me! Gaaah! No! Stop it! >> All villagers killed, game over Aaron: I can't believe it, I couldn't protect the villagers. Because of my incompetence, many people have lost their lives... Elwin: Urgh.... The people of this village have been sacrificed because...I couldn't... >> Morgan attacks After all that we've been through, you will finally yield to me. Get ready to taste defeat! >> All enemies defeated, scenario clear Elwin: Is it over? Sherry: Teacher! Are you safe? Aaron: Are you kidding? 'Twas a simple and quick win for me. Oh, Sherry! Hain: Hey, Sherry, did you call him "teacher"? Elwin: Teacher? Sherry: Aaron taught me everything I know in the art of swordplay. Aaron: Something tells me you're not here to simply pay me a visit... Sherry:Well, actually... Aaron: No, don't say anything. I know why you've come. It's because of those Imperial troops, wasn't it? Lately Imperial troops have been showing up in large numbers. This is truly a problem... ...Anyways, as you saw, my swordsmanship just isn't what it used to be... I'm sure we were fated to meet like this... Though I may be more trouble than I'm worth, I'll come along with you. Elwin: You are quite strong at heart. Scott: Now that I think of it, Morgan said he was looking for something in this village... Elwin: By the way, Morgan seemed to be looking for something in this town... Aaron: Perhaps he was looking for an old document we have in our posession. It has to do with a holy sword and a demon sword, and that whomever posesses the blades has the power to do with the world as he wishes. Riana: The holy sword in question is the Langrisser, isn't it? Hain: It's as I thought! Rayguard Empire has been quite serious about searching for a stone tablet... But up to now I've always considered it to be a legend. Elwin: I guess that these things are for real after all... Aaron: Make no mistake, the holy sword Langrisser really exists, as does the demonic sword Alhazard. The old document in this village chronicles the history of the Alhazard. The people in this village never knew it, but it was given to us by the High Priest. Hain: What an exciting adventure this is turning out to be. (If all three villagers are still alive) Elwin: Well, it's fortunate that the village didn't suffer much damage... As it stands, it seems as though everyone lived through this. Villager: Excuse me... At least let us express our gratitude. You triumphed over the forces which threatened our village. Because of this, we want to express our thanks by bestowing upon you a gift which will protect you from dark magics. Please accept this amulet. (If one or more of the villagers have been killed) Villager: Excuse me.... While we want to express gratitude for your assistance, you did fail to protect one of our citizens. But at any rate, we wish you Godspeed and a safe journey. Villager: Please have a safe journey, and Godspeed. Elwin: Thank you. Aaron: Well, it would seem the sun has set. Now would probably be a good time to rest for the night. We shall continue tomorrow. Dying words: >> Elwin I...I lost...to such a person.... >> Hain Dwah! >> Scott: Waugh! >> Riana It, it can't be... Elwin: Riana! Fall back! We'll be sure to get those Imperial scumbags! Riana: Alright. >> Sherry Ouuuch. I couldn't help it. I'll retreat for now! >> Aaron Is, is this it...? (After first character death) Morgan: Geeeeee! That would be just fine! Haahahahahhahahhahha!!! Sherry: Teacher!? Please stop and get out of harm's way! Aaron: Oh, if it isn't Sherry! I'm sorry, but I can't stand any longer. Morgan: Hah-haah! Finally the old geezer shuts up! >> Villagers Aaahhh.... Somebody help...me... M...mother... Uuhh... >> Morgan Uh... keek... It hurts, it hurts, IT HURRRRTS!!! I can't stop the bleeding!!!! EEEEEKKK!! Lord Eggbeeeeert!!! Imperial General: Impossible, that those guys defeated sir Morgan... Fear not Sir Morgan! We shall exact vengeance upon those guys! >> Imperial Generals Shi shika... Shi... Ugah! Guh! I, impressive... Whooah! Is this the end...? Kwah.... Gwohh! Scenario 7 "Revival of the Old Spirits" *Prologue: "With the joining of Sherry's sword teacher Aaron, night fell around the party. In this peaceful dimly-lit environment, an intense battle seemed unlikely to occur any time soon. However, in the graveyard outside the village, several men were participating in what appeared to be some kind of ceremony. There, the souls of the dead were summoned from their slumber into an evil existence. X Win condition -Death of Necromancer Ginam X Lose condition -Death of all citizens -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 Aaron: I see... So, they're after that girl. Sherry: We were thinking about hiding her in Kalxath Castle. Aaron: But don't you think that's where the Imperial goons may be headed already? Ginam: Hee-hee. I've found you, little girl! You think your troubles ended the instant Morgan departed from this mortal coil? Think again. Riana: !? What evil energy... Aaron: He's outside! The wizard's in the cemetary! Ginam: You're mine, little girl. Now, without further ado, I shall promptly stain this tranquil night with spots of crimson blood! Elwin: You think so!? >> Aaron attacks Bring it on!! >> Scott attacks Take this! >> Riana attacks Poor spirits, return to your slumber. >> Elwin attack Ginam I despise the likes of you, who thinks you have the qualifications to toy with people's lives! Ginam: Oh, really!? >> Ginam attacked Hey, all you living. After this is all over, I'll see to it that your corpses will remain animated forever! >> Villagers move Help! Somebody help me! Elwin: The church! Run to the church! Villager: R, right! >> Turn 1 enemy phase Ginam: I ask, oh spirits of old, to offer your lives to me and have your hearts beat again. So tear open the door to the world and stand once more! Lenier nie Delfahr! Scott: U,u, undead! Hain: Ugyaaahhh!! Riana: How cruel.... To bring back dead spirits just for your own ambition... Ginam: Hee hee hee! I don't care if you kill everyone in the town, just get me that girl! >> Necromancer followers move *Ginam: This little excursion will be an entertaining exercise for my subservients. Imperial General: Kheh... Leave it to me.... >> Imperial General (Hawk Knight) attacks I'll kill everyone, down to the last man! >> Villagers attacked Help me!! Stop it! S, somebody, help me! Elwin: No! >> Turn 2 Sherry: I really don't want to fight undead, as they really make me sick. I despise slimes just as much. I just can't seem to penetrate their defenses when trying to fight them. Scott: Using guardmen would be the most prudent course of offense against the slimes. Sherry: Gotcha! Hey, Hain, you can use Guardmen, can't you? Have your troops concentrate on the slimes! Hain: Alright! But what about the undead? Scott: Monks are the most effective troops to use against undead such as skeletons and zombies. In general, you should try to use holy troops against undead and demons. Sherry: Hey.... You've really been studying up on battle techniques, Scott. Since I've mostly been concentrating on training my body physically, I haven't really given much thought to strategy. I think you'll turn into a really fine knight someday. Scott: Nah.... I'm really not all that amazing... Hain: But, wait a minute... If that's the case, Sherry, then how come when we first met, you seemed to know what types of troops to use? Sherry: Oh, that. I really only knew about the affinities between knights, soldiers, and the like. When I was in training, I listened to that same old spiel about troops what seemed like every day. But, with the exception of that, I can't remember ANYTHING else. Hain: What?! Sherry: Is there some sort of problem with that!? Hain: N, no, not at all... >> Turn 6 Keith: I can hear the sounds of battle coming from around this vicinity. Hain: That's incredible! Kalxath's aerial troops are simply amazing! Sherry: Keith! Keith: Princess!? I've been looking all over for you! Hmm, what's this? I'll help you out. Sherry: Please! Elwin: Princess? Sherry!? >> Keith moves I'll show you the power of Kalxath's aerial troops! >> Keith attacks I have no sympathy for those who would launch an offensive against civilians. >> Turn 6, enemy phase Imperial General: Nn hee hee hee! I'll spill lots of blood today! You guys, kill everyone! Elwin: Oh, no! They've surrounded the outskirts of the village! Keith: I'll take care of things here. You guys concentrate on the necromancer! >> All villagers killed, game over Elwin: Damn it... All we could do was sit and watch the townspeople get killed right before our eyes. >> Ginam defeated, scenario clear Geh, could it be that I've been defeated? However, don't think you've won. I've reported your whereabouts to Master Eggbert already! Guah! Elwin: To use the bodies of the dead to further your own ends is just despicable.. Riana: The dead were waken from their eternal slumber... Scott: That was truly a cruel deed. (If Keith is still alive) Keith: Princess!? I've found you! This battle is finally over. Sherry: Well, if it isn't Keith. We were just cleaning up the place. Keith: So I see. Anyway, I'm just glad you're safe. Hain: Huh!? Sherry's a princess!? Aaron: Anyway, Keith, what brings you to these parts? Keith: Nice to see you again, Sir Aaron. I have something of great importance to tell the princess. Sherry: What's the matter? Keith: We've begun to take up arms against the Blue Dragon Knights, who are currently en route to Kalxath. Sherry: !? Very well. I'll return as quickly as possible. Riana: But why are they heading to Kalxath? Keith: Haven't you noticed lately that Rayguard Empire has been invading various locales, all in the name of unification? Riana: Yes. Sherry: You see, we're all in the middle of a large resistance between various kingdoms and Rayguard. Keith: In other words, if Kalxath were to fall to the empire, the surrounding kingdoms would take notice. They would then lose all their spirit to fight, especially against the empire's formidable and intimidating emperor. Scott: As of now, the only kingdom with enough strength to rebel is Kalxath. It is because of that alone that if Kalxath were to crumble before the Empire, the ramifications would be astronomical. Aaron: It's evening, now. We should be heading out, soon. Kalxath has been without the protection of its princess and Keith for far too long. We must hurry and try to intercept the Blue Dragon Knights before its too late. (If all three villagers are still alive) Villager: Wait a minute! We would like to express our gratitude. Elwin: Eh!? Villager: Please have this runestone, a rare stone that will be sure to protect you on your travels. Elwin: Thank you. Dying words: >> Elwin No! Ginam: Heh, heh, heh. And I didn't even reveal my true strength. Now, hand over the girl! >> Hain: Damn it! You won... >> Scott Even my strategy couldn't help me. >> Riana Aah... Elwin Don't do anything rash! We can't let Riana fall into the imperial's hands! Riana I'm sorry. I just can't stand any more... I have to withdraw for now. >> Sherry OUCH! Hey, Elwin, I'll be back later >> Aaron Ungh... Maybe I'm just too old for this... >> Keith Nnggh... That was more than I could take... >> Villagers Aah... P... please... somebody...h.. help... W, why... Why couldn't you help...me... >> Imperial Generals: Guh! To...to die here... No! I don't want to die yet! Gwoh... Gueh! >> Great Slimes Pwoosh! Squish! Scenario 8 "The Great Bridge" *Prologue: "After receiving word from Keith that the entirety of the Blue Dragon Knights' Army was advancing towards Kalxath castle, Sherry tried to hurry back to the castle. Keith also joined them to guide Sherry and the party back to Kalxath Castle. In the vicinity of Kalxath Castle, there was a wide crevice. Elwin's party decided to cross a certain bridge that would cut many days off of their journey, but they found a branch of the Blue Dragon Knights, led by Kramer, attempting to lower the bridge. If Kramer was successful in lowering the bridge, it would add a few days to their journey, and Kalxath Castle would almost certainly fall. X Win Condition -Death of Kramer within 23 turns X Lose Condition -Run out of time -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 Kramer: Hurry up! Kalxath's princess is on her way back to her castle, and they're soon to cross this bridge! We have to drop the bridge before they get here. Scott: Huh!? They're trying to lower the bridge! Keith: If the bridge is dropped, we'll have to take the long way around. That would add three days to our journey. Sherry: Kalxath is going to be attacked any minute now! We can't waste time by going the long way! Let's tear them to shreds!! Hain: Allllriiight! We'll show 'em who's boss! Kramer: Damn, they're already here. Hurry! We've gotta drop the bridge, NOW! >> Turn 1 enemy phase Kramer: Aerial troops, surround the enemy. Knights, move to the front and give 'em all you got. Then regroup, form a second wave, and attack! Don't let them get one step over this bridge, understand? Imperial General: Yes, sir! >> Turn 2 Sherry: Careful about the enemy's air troops. They're so fast that we can be surrounded in no time. Scott: That's right. We should use elves to counter aerial units, as they're susceptible to arrows. Sherry: You got that, Keith? Watch out for the enemy's Dark Elves. Keith: Princess, if our aviators didn't know that by now, we would no longer be alive. You really should keep studying your strategy on a daily basis. Sherry: But strategy is BORING! The best way to learn real combat is through experience on the battlefield. Aaron: .... Hmmm...as ever the same, I see... >> Elwin attacks Don't waste my time! Die! >> Sherry attacks Get outta my way! >> Keith attacks No matter what, I'm going back to Kalxath! >> Hain attacked Crap! >> Imperial generals attack How much longer do you think you can withstand our assault? You think you're gonna get to Kalxath? While you've been able to make it this far alive, let me show you just how fickle luck is. You won't pass here! >> Imperial general (Mage) attacked Damn you! You ain't bustin' through here! >> Turn 2 enemy phase Kramer: Urrgh, the bridge isn't lowered yet? Imperial Soldier: No, but I'm confident we'll get it done in time. Kramer: Let's move, people! Sir Leon's already attacking Kalxath. Once the castle's fallen, those guys will have lost! >> Enemy commander defeated Kramer: So, you think you're tough stuff, eh? Well, I'm just gonna have to up the ante a bit. Second wave, break off and attack! >> Second wave moves Kramer: Give the enemy what's coming to them! Pound the enemy into a mat! Imperial General: Leave it to me! I won't let them cross this bridge alive! >> Second wave defeated Kramer: Impossible! They're way too strong! However, they're not getting over this bridge! >> Turn 12 Kramer: Faster! These guys are stronger than we thought. Imperial Soldier: Please, we need just a little more time. Kramer: We can't waste any time! We cannot allow them to reach Kalxath! Once Kalxath falls, the continent will be united before our very eyes! >> Kramer attacked So you made it, huh? Well, you're not getting any further than this! Kramer: No, not yet! I've not lost yet! Vargas: It looks like this is our last chance. We can't let them get to the Blue Dragon Knights. Zolm, let's help! Kramer: General Vargas!? Please understand that your involvement is not required. This is a job for a Blue Dragon Knight. Even if it's just me, I won't allow them passage to Kalxath! Vargas: I'm just offering my assistance. I guess there's no point, as you've got too much pride. >> Elwin reaches other side Watch out! Don't bite off more than you can chew! Kramer: Ergh! We have to keep them here until Sir Leon's victorious at Kalxath! Imperial General: Don't let them cross the bridge! Kill all of them! Elwin: The enemy's commander is within sight! Kill him before they drop the bridge! >> Same turn, enemy phase Kramer: Please listen, General Vargas! You don't have to go through all this trouble for my sake. We also have our pride as being the strongest knight corps in the empire. I can't allow Sir Leon's dignity to be compromised. Zolm: What should we do, General? We don't have enough troops to begin with, but after stumbling in the middle of this skirmish... Vargas: Is there really anything to discuss? After risking our lives in so many battles, can we really just sit back and watch? Zolm: ...How true. I, Zolm, shall show you the true limits of my prowess! >> Vargas moves Vargas: Listen, Kramer. I didn't come here just to help you out. I'm here only to see you perform as a commanding officer, that's all. Kramer: ...Thank you, General. I won't forget this. Vargas: Don't worry about it. Now then, let's go, Zolm! Zolm: Leave it to me! (Or, if Zolm was already killed) Vargas: Don't worry about it. Now, let's dance, fellas! >> Kramer attacks You won't make it to Kalxath! >> Zolm attacks Die! >> Vargas attacks Open your eyes! >> Turn 18 Elwin: C'mon everybody, hurry! That bridge won't last much longer! >> Turn 21 Imperial Soldier: Just a little longer until the bridge is out! Kramer: Great! Don't slow down! >> Turn 23 Scott: Hurry up! There's only one rope left! (If Scott has been defeated) Soldier: There's only one rope left! Sherry: This is the final stretch. Everybody, attack with all you've got! Elwin: We don't have any time to spare! Concentrate on the enemy's commander! >> End of Turn 23, game over Imperial Soldier: The bridge has fallen! Kramer: Great! Hurry! Soldier: Waah! Kramer: Kalxath's reinforcements can't cross here. This is the end for you guys. Fwaah-hah-hah-hah-hah!! >> Kramer defeated, scenario clear Kramer: Even General Vargas wasn't able to help me... But...if what I did was...enough... then... Soon...Kalxath Castle...will...gah! Vargas: Hrm, impressive. No choice, retreat! Vargas: (If Zolm still alive) Damn it, retreat! Zolm: But, General Vargas, we haven't fought yet! Don't you want to gut the enemy just a little bit? *Vargas Don't you see? We need to drop the bridge. If the bridge is down, then they're done for. Zolm Huh!? Gotcha. I'll hurry and drop the bridge! (If Zolm is dead) Vargas: Is this it...? Vargas: I wonder how much longer this is going to take. Right now Leon's busy with Kalxath, and these guys are done for. It's not looking good, fellas! You'd better hurry to Kalxath if you want to make it! Aaron: Hrmmm. Kalxath's already probably in danger. Hain: Hnn... The old guy's gone mad. Aaron: Oh, really? I'm not worrying about nothing, you know. If Kalxath were to fall, it'd be terrible. We have to help out at once! Sherry: Guys.... Elwin: I know, we gotta hurry to Kalxath! Elwin: We don't have much time. Everybody, make haste to Kalxath! Dying words: >> Elwin Keh... I should've known... >> Hain Ugh... You got me... >> Scott Damn it! I'm still not experienced enough for this... >> Riana Uh.... I'm sorry, but I can't stand any longer... >> Sherry Sorry, guys, they won. >> Keith Kuh... How shameful... >> Aaron Ooh!! It looks like it's over... >> Vargas And to think I prepared what I thought was a worthy armed force and hurried here... Can't help it, fella. I have to run! >> Zolm Argh! Again, I failed! I'll see y'all again soon! >> Imperial Generals: Gwah! That you've beaten me so easily is... I... Impressive... Ugh...! Guh... You... you're good. Guys, handle the rest...okay? *Scenario 9 "The Siege of Kalxath Castle" *Prologue: "Thanks to a brilliant charge by Elwin and his party, they were able to defeat Kramer and cross the bridge to Kalxath Castle. The moment they step out of the forest, Elwin sees the castle defending against a fierce attack by the Blue Dragon Knights. The defenders of the castle were putting up a brave struggle, but due to the superiority of the soldiers led by Leon and Laird, the castle's fall was inevitable if Elwin and his party did not do something soon. The intense battle for Kalxath Castle unfolded. X Win Condition -Death of Laird X Lose Condition -Death of all NPC members -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 Leon What's the status of the Castle Forces? Give a full report. Laird Yes, sir. We've just now taken control of the castle, but it's better protected than we thought. We're having a bit of trouble. *Leon Impressive... Kalxath Castle. However, we can't waste time as we're on enemy grounds. They could appear at any time. Laird Soon we must make our attack. Leon ...True... Imperial General "Leon! Emergency!" Leon "What's wrong?!" Imperial General Monsters are appearing in the vicinity of the border. Even civilians are being killed. We can't last. Leon Shit! Of all the times... We can't leave our civilians to be murdered. Laird, I'll leave this to you. I'll go rescue the citizens. Laird Yes, sir. Be careful, Leon. General The enemy's commander has left! Now's our chance! Counter attack!!! Sherry Our soldiers are quite impressive, aren't they? Such spirit! General Oh, the princess! Everyone do their best! It's the reinforcements! Soldier Oh... Keith We the Kalxath forces will show the Empire our strength. Protect the castle until we can save you! Laird Reinforcements?! Kramer was beaten?! With Leon gone, we cannot hesitate. We'll show them the wrath of the Blue Dragon Knights! >> Allied Generals move Just a bit more. If we can hold on a bit more... the Princess will save us! Alright. We'll wait and get back to you. >> Turn 1 enemy phase *Laird Make use of the aviation division's mobility and divert the enemies' reinforcements! Split their reinforcements down the middle. Alert the archers in the mountains and protect them. Whilst we're stopping the enemy reinforcements' movement, destroy their defense forces. I'll act on their escape! Whether the continent is restored to its former state depends on this battle. Failure is intolerable. >> *Dragon Knight moves We'll head off the reinforcements' attack! Laird I beg you! Stop them before they destroy the castle! (Sounds kinda awkward for both his station and the situation. Guess one can't expect him to be a Leon.) >> Castle attackers move Go! Invade! Laird Please. Take out the castle when they're stopped their advance. Imperial General Yes! >> Castle attacked What a fighter! If this continues, we won't last long. We have to at least wait for the princess to get back to us. >> Inner castle attacked No matter what, I'll protect this castle. >> Allied General attacks Don't think we'll just keep on getting killed like this. >> Sherry attacked Allied General: Pr-Princess?! Sherry I'm okay! This command... am I going to lose? General Please Princess. Don't do anything in vain. If there's anything we can... Sherry What're you talking about?! Even though eveyone's fighting so hard, you expect me to retreat alone?! Sherry I won't be killed here! >> Turn 2 Sherry Hey Scott, Isn't Laird's group quite strong? You're the one that's always using your head, so think of an easy way out! *Scott Huh?! There's no "easy" about it! Our opponent is the sub-leader of the Blue Dragon Knights! But maybe I have something... if we attack his group with phalanxes or griffons we should be able to defeat him. Keith Careful, though... if you don't use your subordinates sparingly, you'll be struggling in the end. Sherry R... really? >> Elwin attacks You're going to have to do better than that! >> *Keith attacks Don't worry Kalxath! I'll definitely save you! >> Keith attacks besiegers Think of something! This is the end for you too! Imperial General That asshole! We won't give up! >> Keith attacked We must protect Kalxath! No way am I inferior! >> Sherry attacks I can't have you changing my castle! >> Sherry attacks besiegers What?! I can't allow you to do that! Imperial General Shit! They came all the way here! >> Imperial Generals attack This will not do! You all will die here! >> Imperial General (Mage) attacked You've done well to get this far. However, I won't give up. >> Laird attacked You again?! Even so, I'll take back what you owe! >> *Laird attacks With a knight's glory, there is no way we can lose. >> Castle attackers move (Two allied generals killed) Laird Okay! There's only one fleet remaining! Blow them away as quickly as possible! Imperial General Y-Yes, sir! Leave it to us! >> All Imperial Knights defeated Laird What?! Broken through?! They truly are formidable foes... We've come this far. I've no other choice but to fight them myself. >> Laird moves They've followed us all the way here. But, even if I fight alone, I'll make this battle successful! That's the nature of the Blue Dragon Knights! >> Laird defeated, scenario clear Ah... Retreat at once! Leon, please forgive me. Sherry Is anyone hurt?! Allied General No, Princess. Luckily we were saved. Keith You withstood the attacks of the Blue Dragon Knights well. Good job. Allied Generel Thanks to the princess and the others rushing to the castle. (If all three generals still alive) Keith Princess... we must pay homage to Elwin. Sherry Yes. Well, what about this? The armor used by our ancestors. Supposedly much stronger armor existed, but cannot be found. But, this should do just fine I should think. *Hain Even so, it seems Kalxath is quite a strong castle. It seems that it could even protect Riana. Sherry Of course! Leave it to me! Scott Somehow, my duty seems finished. I shall hurry back to Salras. Hain Huh?! Without you, Scott, I won't know how to fight with any strategy! Scott Yes. But it's not always good to rely on someone. Hain Sheesh. But I guess that's that. Suppose I'll just have to study from other soldiers. Elwin Thanks for everything. Scott But I... Well then... General Elwin, there's someone here to see you. Priest It's been awhile, Elwin. Elwin Priest! Priest I examined the ancient Document I received from Aaron. Thanks to that, we now understand the hidden power of the evil sword Alhazard. *Aaron Oh... that's great news. *Priest It appears that the Evil Sword Alhazard beholds a frightful power. Not only will the wielder of that sword have increased strength and psyche, but will also approach the dark world. Hain Dark world?! We couldn't find a magician that could do that if we searched the continent through! Priest Exactly. But it is written that the one king of the Dark World - the Demon Lord - can be summoned using Alhazard. Riana The demon that can single-handedly destroy an entire city?! Sherry All will be lost if such a thing is used! Is there anything we can do? Priest Fortunately, Alhazard has yet to be fully revived. And it is written that one needs the Dark Rod to fully revive it. *Keith I see. So the imperial forces were diligently searching for the ancient manuscript. Elwin Anyway... seeing how Alhazard's power is unusable without the Dark Rod... Priest That is so. However, it is written that the Dark Rod exists somewhere. Sherry Speaking of which... I've heard something of a great magician near the *Raul River from some hundreds of years ago. Someone like that will likely know where it is. (This is another name with many possible translations. These include Raul, Rahl, and Raar.) Keith I've heard something of him too. Riana Then let's head over there. Elwin We can't just ignore the empire just yet. Sherry True. We'd better just take off. *Hain I'll help as well. I'd like to meet this magician too. But I wonder if he has a human body. Keith Okay! Prepare for departure! Soldier Y-Yes, sir! Riana ....... *Elwin What's wrong? No matter where we are, we'll protect the people of the castle. There's no need to worry. Sherry True, true. No need to hesitate. *Riana No, it's not that... Uh... *Elwin It's okay. We'll definitely come back. Keith Princess! We've finished preparations! Sherry Depart! Riana ...Take care... Dying words: >> Elwin "This is it? Sorry, Sherry." >> Hain "Ouch! Sorry... Retreat!" >> Scott "Shit! It's no good!" >> Riana "Sherry, I'm sorry. I couldn't get the job done." >> Sherry "Even though I came just to protect the castle, I die first?!" >> Aaron "I'm done for..." >> Keith "Im-Impossible..." >> Imperial Generals (Attacking castle) "This is it for me..." "Just a bit more, and the castle..." (1st) Allied General "Oh! You saved us!" *Keith "Just a little more! Let's do it!" Sherry "Now we'll get the rest of them!" (2nd) Allied General "Thank you very much! The castle should be fine now!" >> Imperial Generals (Vanguard) "Ah..." "Ah! Will I die here...?!" "Ah!" "Just a bit..." "Ak...k..." >> Allied Generals "P-Princess, forgive me..." Sherry "......." *Keith "Let's hurry! We don't need any more dead than this." Sherry "I won't forgive you! I'll definitely have my revenge!" "Princess...!!!" Sherry "Terrible..." *Keith "Unforgiveable! The Kalxath we bore and raised to be used by the Empire!" Sherry "Now I'm mad! I swear on my life you won't like me much after I'm finished with you!!!" (Last general defeated, game over) "Princess... Forgive me..." Sherry "E-Everyone!" Laird "Well done. Leon will be quite pleased." Keith "Did we fail?! Our... castle..." Sherry "Sorry, everyone. I took it on my own to leave the castle..." *Elwin "The Kalxath castle has been defeated..." Scenario 10 "The defender of the Raul River" Prologue: "After learning the true horrors of the sword Alhazard from the Priest of Estol, and being told that for the Empire to restore completely, the magical Dark Rod would be required, Elwin decided to seek out the Dark Rod in hopes that if he obtained it first, the Empire would not be able to revive Alhazard without it. Elwin and his party rushed to the Raul River to meet a Wizard who was said to know the location of the Dark Rod. But when they got there, they were stopped by Lester, the defender of the Raul River. X Win Condition -Death of Lester X Lose Condition -Death of Elwin >> Turn 1 Sherry "Hey, Keith. How much farther until we reach the great magician's house?" Keith "Just a little longer. Once we cross the river, we should be there." Sherry "So, once we get to the wizard's..." Aaron "Eh? Someone's coming." Lester "Wait a sec! You guys trying to cross, who are you?" Hain "Hu, huh?" Lester "The price for crossing this river's quite high. If you want to live, then don't even try getting across." Elwin "Bandits? It doesn't look like they have the power to prevent us from crossing." >> Turn 1 enemy phase Lester These monsters will not pass by us!! Let's go, men!" Pirate "Sir's exactly right. Obediently returnin' like this, you blokes must be friggin' stupid!" >> Lester defeated before turn 4, scenario clear "Hmph, you're not too shabby." Elwin "Now, let us through here." Lester "... Guess I hafta. Now what the hell is so important on the other side that you caused all this mess?" Keith "We're heading to the great wizard's domain over yonder." Sherry "Do you know what we're talking about?" Lester "I dunno, but I am Lady Jessica's student. Right now, though, I'm here to protect Lady Jessica from people who want to "get acquainted" with her." Elwin "Frankly, in order to stop the Empire from reviving the sword of darkness, we need the great magician's help." Lester "Alright, leave it to me. I'll make sure everything goes smoothly!" Aaron "If you would, please." Lester "I'm off. Hold down the fort till I get back!" Pirate "Aye, sir!" (If both pirates are still alive) Pirate "By the way, sir, take this here treasure with ya." Lester "A necklace? Thanks." >> Pirates attacked "If ye values yer life, end this futile resistance!" "W, what are you blokes? Y' ain't yer usual soldiers." >> Turn 3 enemy phase, monsters appear *Scylla "Hee-hee-hee. I've found you, Descendants of Light. Your lives will be rendered nil!" Lester "Who are you punks? A bunch of monsters!?" Scylla "You meddling insects will suffer the same fate. If you don't wish to die, then retreat!" Hain "Monsters! Moreover, they appear to be in large numbers!" Sherry "It's time for the real fight." Lester "Damn it all! Of all the goddamn times!!! Hey, punks! Help us get rid of the monsters!" Scylla "Kill them all! We're not going back until they're all dead!" >> Turn 4 Hain "What in the world? Why are the monsters after us??" Elwin "They're being manipulated by someone. Otherwise, they wouldn't be organized like this." Sherry "So, someone's using the monsters to attack us?" Elwin "Yeah... why, though, I haven't a clue." Keith "Whatever you do, don't even bother attacking the Scylla in the water." Aaron "That's correct, entirely. If you engage them on land, the odds will undoubtedly be in your favor." >> Keith attacks "Take this, monsters!" >> Hain attacks "I won't lose to any monster!" >> Elwin attacks "Eat it!" >> Pirate moves "Don't be messing up our territory! And don't even THINK of being messin' wit' us!" Lester "We weren't ready. These guys are surprisingly buff." Pirate "Heheh... 'tis alright, sir." >> Lester moves "The scylla and her companions are water units, so I'll show you guys where my true strengths lie." >> Lester attacks "Damn monsters! I'll strike you all down!" >> Scylla attacks "Take what's coming to you!" *"You'll all sink and then die!!" >> Scylla attacked "I won't forgive anyone who scars me!" "Ya shouldn't have done that to me mate! Now I'll really have ta kill ya Lester "Don't worry, just get out of here! You can't beat these guys!" Pirate "S, sir... that you got into such danger..." Lester "This is an order! Just shut up and let me handle this. I still want to be able to laugh and talk shit with you guys after the fight. Don't get yourself killed or something like this!" Pirate "Beggin' your pardon, sir, but please don't be doin' anything rash." Lester "Now, I hope you're ready monster shits! You're gonna pay for murdering my pals!" >> Lester attacks "You can't run anymore! Now you've gotten me mad!" >> Lester attacked "What's up with you? Rather full of ourselves, aren't we?" >> All monsters defeated, scenario clear Elwin "Whew... we did it." Lester "You're pretty good. So where was it you were heading, again?" Keith "We're heading to the great wizard's domain over yonder." Sherry "Do you know what we're talking about?" Lester "I dunno, but I am Lady Jessica's student.

Scenario 11 "Inside the Flame" Prologue: "Lester guided Elwin's party to meet the wizard who was rumoured to know the location of the Dark Rod, the Great Wizard Jessica who was said to have lived hundreds of years. However, the Rayguard Empire had plans of their own, and the Black Dragon Dark Priest Eggbert was secretly devising one of his own. X Win Condition -Death of all enemies X Lose Condition -Death of Elwin -Death of Jessica" >> Turn 1 Lester: Miss Jessica! There's some people here to see you. Jessica: Welcome, everybody. I am Jessica. Hain: What! This person, for hundreds of years... She still looks so young no matter how I look at her! *Elwin: Pleased to meet you, Lady Jessica. I am Elwin. There is a matter on which I must consult you. That is why I am here... Jessica: The sword of Darkness Alhazard, yes? And what you want to know is the whereabouts of the Dark Rod. Sherry: !? How did you know that? Jessica: The Imperial armies have been on the attack at the borders. Following that the world will be filled with waves of evil and chaos. An ancient relic lying dormant... All of this can only mean one thing... the Sword of the Dark, Alhazard. Aaron: Wow, you know so much. Not bad. *Jessica: The cause of the waves of destruction this time has nothing at all to do with Alhazard. Alhazard is still dormant and has yet to fully regain its strength. Elwin: For that very reason, we have to get Dark Rod first before the empire! Before any more damage is done! *Jessica: The Dark Rod can be found at the Sacred Ground, Reital. Elwin: The Sacred Ground.... Reital. Eggbert: I see. I would've never suspected it to be in such a place. Jessica: That voice?! Eggbert!! Hain: It's Eggbert!? The legendary sorcerer from the Rayguard Empire! Those who practise the black arts all know of him and his immense powers! Keith: I too have heard of his magical prowess, and his brilliant use of strategy. He is responsible for the defeat of numerous kingdoms at the hands of the Empire.... Eggbert: Ooh.... You're all well informed.... Still, I now know the location of the Dark Rod. There is no longer the need to make use of you all. All of you will perish here. Jessica: Eggbert! No, stop! Eggbert: Hehehe... No matter what you say, you will not be able to save even one of their lives! Lester: Eggbert! Dammit, How dare you say such things to Miss Jessica?! Here marks the end of your evil doings! Eggbert: Heh.... I think Lester thinks that I will be his only opponent. Not quite!!! Imperial General: Master Eggbert! The others have arrived! Lester: What the?! Hey, something reeks like oil.... Aaron: Be careful! He's planning something... >> Jessica moves Jessica: Eggbert... As I thought, you plan to break the seal of Alhazard. Eggbert: Oh, so you knew eh? You may have transmigrated and been reborn, but will you be able to defeat me? Jessica: You are right. From an old, dying body, I transmigrated to a younger body and was reborn. My magical powers are also recovering. However.... if you revive Alhazard, you will not be a match for it! You don't know what you're getting yourself into! Eggbert: Is that so.... If it's true I will take my chances. But for you, you will die here! Lester: Miss Jessica only needs to lift but one finger to deal with you! Eggbert: I see you're still the same good-natured man. >> Turn 1 enemy phase Eggbert: Hehehe... So it's goodbye, foolish ones. Burn in flames! Lester: I thought as much! This is what the oil was for! Aaron: We're down-wind! We'll be swallowed by the flames! Jessica: The flames can't follow us across the river! Hurry, let's escape to the other bank! >> Hawk Knight moves Eggbert Don't let them escape! Imperial General: Die!!! >> Swordsman moves Don't let them escape, all of them must die! Elwin: Are you serious!? If you are to do that, I shall use fire to trap and attack you! Imperial General: No! It does not matter how big the flame is! For the Empire, we can even lay down our lives! Forward! We must kill all of them! >> Turn 2 Jessica: The fire, due to the oil has spread too early and quickly. While we are battling our enemies, we could be trapped within the fire. Lester: Elwin, I will protect Jessica! The rest of you quickly finish off the remaining enemies! Elwin: Alright! I understand, Lester! Lester: Yes! Leave it to me! Jessica: Lester, thank you. Lester: Please don't mention it. It is only right that we protect Miss Jessica. >> Eggbert attacked How thoughtless to raise a sword against me... >> Eggbert defeated Indeed there is no one who can surpass in strength and power. However now is not the time to finish this matter. I'll go to the Sacred Ground Reital early. However, before that, I want to thank you. >> Turn 2 enemy phase Eggbert: Weakling.... I have never met my match before in my life. I shall get to the Sacred Ground Reital first. (Regardless of what happens, Eggbert will teleport by the end of turn 2) Elwin: Looks like we've got ourselves into something here... Anyway, we must escape, we'll talk later. Jessica: It seems Eggbert teleported. Let's hurry and get out of here too. At this rate, Eggbert will get his hands on the Dark Rod first. >> Turn 3 Hain: By the way, Jessica. Can I call you teacher from now on? Truth is, I'm studying to become a magician, so I've always wanted to become a famous magician's pupil. Sherry: I've been thinking about that, But you're pretty carefree, aren't you, Hain?! Why don't you worry about flames! Hain: But we might not have another opportunity like this! I doubt you'll understand, Sherry, but to a magician, searching for a teacher is a matter of life and death! Jessica: Sorry. I don't plan on taking another pupil. Hain: Eh?! But you don't... I... Lester: I'm sure you'll find a teacher... Don't worry about it too much. >> Player crosses certain point on map Imperial General Don't let them escape! Don't let them go no matter what! >> Turn 6 Imperial General: You'll all fry here! Elwin: Of all the times! Jessica: Elwin! This isn't the time for such timid talking! That feather-like decoration is... Elwin: ...? There's something about this Tiara...? Jessica: Elwin, we must pay attention here...! I'll talk about it later! >> Second hawk knight moves Your destinies shall end here! >> Second hawk knight attacks Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Jessica: Apparently, the Empire is serious about removing the seal from Alhazard. I shall deal with it. Elwin: Hurry up! I won't allow Dark Rod to fall into the hands of the Empire! >> Jessica killed, game over dead] Jessica: Ahhh, the sky is a shade of blue.... *Imperial General: Run for your lives, fools! >> All enemies defeated, scenario clear Elwin: Is everyone okay? Hain: Somehow, we're still alive. Jessica: But if the place that holds the Dark Rod is guarded, you'll need a rest. Shall I help you? Elwin: Thank you, Jessica! Jessica: Then we shall follow the path the Tiara had pointed out and act accordingly. *Elwin: This Tiara is a keepsake from my father, It's been passed down from generation to generation. There's just something about it... *Jessica: You've come all this way. I might as well take this opportunity to tell you. Long ago, I served in a royal castle. Just as you are, the prince was wearing that Tiara. And also, a boy... Elwin: I've heard something about it from Doren, my late mentor... But seriously... In other words, you're saying that I'm a descendant of the Royal Family of Baltia?! Jessica: Yes. You are guided by brightness. And you are the one that will overcome in the battles surrounding the dark, evil-sword Alhazard. That is your mission! *Elwin: Really. But I can't stop the revival of Alhazard just because it's "my mission". Evil will erupt throughout the continent. If the empire attains Alhazard's power... No matter what we do, we must stop their greedy plans! Jessica: Then we should head for the Holy Land of Reital... Dying words: >> Elwin What?! My end is here.... >> Hain It's too cruel.... >> Sherry Aaaah! >> Aaron Damn! I'm dead... >> Keith What!? I was too careless.... >> Lester Damn! I let my guard down.... >> Imperial General Why are we defeated?! Argh... What! Aahhh... We've lost.... Why.... What?! H... How DARE you... you... urk... Dead.... Scenario 12 "The Holy Land of Reital" Prologue: "The Holy Land of Reital. Surrounded by rocky mountains and so skillfully hidden beyond the eyes of men, no man had ever set a foot inside, and there was no trace of Eggbert. And inside the cave, the ancient guardians and protectors of the Dark Rod awaited the intruders. X Win Condition -Death of all enemies -Get the Dark Rod X Lose Condition -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 Elwin This seems to be the place. *Witch Those who tresspass upon the forbidden land listen. Leave immediately. No one shall desecrate this sacred place. If you enter, know that you shall die! (There's a chance that this was meant to be 'Lich'... the picture certainly does look like an undead. However, both words fit reasonably well, so I'll just use what's in the patch, which is 'Witch.' Keith Who are these guys? Jessica Ancient Guardians... Protectors of the Dark Rod. Sherry So then Eggbert can't take it either? *Aaron He's not the kind of man who would stop at this. Hain Anyway let's get the rod before Eggbert does! Lester Don't get sloppy Hain. The opponent is the ancient undead, if you let your guard down you'll die for sure. >> Any character attacked Jessica Be careful! Don't slacken off! >> Player passes certain point on map *Eggbert "It seems with that amount of power you can't defeat them." Elwin Eggbert! Eggbert Well you did beat some undead for me. This time you have my thanks... Jessica Eggbert... you know how dangerous Alhazard's... power really is... Eggbert Power can be controlled, when the one who uses it is competent enough. Can't it, Jessica? Or should I still call you "teacher"? Jessica You're so fascinated with power that you have no right to call me teacher. Hain What! Eggbert was Jessica's apprentice?! Lester Yup... after Jessica's Rebirth he suddenly disappeared... Eggbert I don't have time to baby-sit like you do. Lester I see your attitude still leaves a heck of a lot to be desired... >> Enemy phase Witch There are so many fools here today. But no matter who you are we won't forgive the desecration of our sacred temple. You shall all die. >> Eggbert moves Hahaha... it's a waste to try and get in my way... (Teleports) ...hm. This is the Dark Rod? Elwin Wait! Eggbert! Eggbert Noisy brat... ....? Who are you!? That winged tiara... is he a descendant of light...? Elwin What are you talking about? Eggbert A descendent of light would get in my way... Of course that person was right. Oh well whatever... the Dark Rod is mine! Jessica Eggbert! Stop it!! >> Next turn Elwin I can't believe Eggbert was Jessica's apprentice... Jessica Before I used Rebirth, he studied magic under my wing. But soon enough he craved a more powerful magic and created the Rayguard Empire with the Emperor. Eggbert If his Majesty and I combine our power, it is a simple task to create a nation. Once we break Alhazard's seal we'll receive infinite power. Our conquering of this continent will become reality! Jessica I regret ever teaching you magic... But at least I can stop your ambitions! Eggbert I'm sorry but I must hurry to revive Alhazard. I don't have time to play with you. >> Enemy phase Eggbert Now all that's left is that girl, Riana. You can fight with as many undead as you want. If you manage to make it out of here, I'll play with you some other time. Jessica Wait! Eggbert Jessica after this I will defeat you. But now is too soon. It would be too boring to defeat you now when you haven't reached your full power... well then farewell. Hain Dammit! Elwin Shit! He ran away?! It's pointless to continue fighting the undead then. Jessica However since the Guardians have begun their actions, unless we exterminate them there's no way we can leave. Elwin Got it. Everyone let's wipe them out! >> Next turn *Elwin I'm worried about Riana. Let's beat them and go to Kalxath. >> Living armor attacked I won't forgive you! >> Witch attacked How could such reckless people challenge me, me who's lived beyond centuries? >> Elwin reaches upper left platform Entrance to the Muscle Shrine? What is this about? Well, we'll think about it later. >> All enemies defeated, scenario clear Elwin It seems we beat them all... Jessica However the Dark Rod was taken.... Later to unlock Alhazard's power they will need a catalyst... I think Eggbert was referring to Riana as a catalyst. *Sherry Riana is in danger! We must quicky return to Kalxath castle. (If Elwin discovered secret passage earlier) Yes... but what will we do about the shrine? There's probably some big riddle involved...? Will you investigate it? >> If Yes Elwin Wait up! There's a path to a hidden shrine! If we investigate, maybe there's something that can help us understand Alhazard better. Let's quickly investigate! >> If No or if passage was not discovered *Elwin Yes... I'm worried about Riana. Let's return to Kalxath! Dying words: >> Elwin Damn it! This is it... >> Hain Uwwa! >> Sherry Ouch... I'm dead. >> Aaron Guh! How sickening... >> *Lester Son of a! Not too shabby! >> Jessica Aaaahhh.... >> Keith Damnit! >> Great Slimes Squelch! Splash! Squish! >> Ghost Suu.... >> Master Dino WAOOOOON... >> Living Armor Gu.... Guu.... >> Witch I can't believe it... I've been defeated!

Let's show 'em, Samson, Adon! Adon All right! Jessica What in the world...? >> Turn 1 enemy phase Varan This is OUR night! Adon, Samson, with our "posing", let's give our enemies a real "KO".

You've become a brother now, too! Adon B, brother! Keith Brother! Aaron Brother! Samson OH, YEAH! >> Turn 4 Hain Hey, Elwin. We didn't really have to come here, did we? Elwin No..., I think we did.

It's said that it was brought to this world, long ago, by the last emperor known as mohimohipuh. Hain ... is for that purpose, I'd say.... Sherry For what purpose? Hain Hmph! Children wouldn't understand. Sherry Ah! So we're back to being stupid, are we? >> Turn 13 enemy phase Varan Zero! Elwin Crap! Brace yourselves! Varan Too late! Elwin What, have we perished?? Jessica Since you were posing for such a long time haven't your blood vessels burst? Hain Isn't something strangely calm about Jessica-teacher? Elwin Riana wasn't here after all. Sherry Elwin... ... well, NO SHIT! Honestly, what WERE YOU THINKING!?!? What would Riana be doing in a PLACE LIKE THIS!?!? Get a grip, boy! Hain Hey, Sherry. Between the last battles, I did 10 pushups and 10 situps! What'd ya think? *grunt* Sherry NOO, PLEASE, ENOUGH! ....? Ha-ha-ha-ha! Hain, you really are a wimp. Hain Sherry, you're mean... Elwin ...

Scenario 13 "Battle with the Fire Dragon Corps" *Prologue: "Elwin and his party managed to defeat the ancient guardians, but before they could obtain the Dark Rod, Eggbert suddenly appeared and with his magic managed to get the Dark Rod and get away. Moreover, Eggbert then teleported to Kalxath Castle to kidnap Riana. The party, worried about Riana, tried to hurry back to Kalxath Castle to see what they could do, but General Vargas the Valiant was waiting for them to hinder their progress. X Win condition -Death of General Vargas X Lose condition -Death of Elwin >> Turn 1 Keith We've got a problem! The enemy is right ahead of us! Elwin What?! Zolm Gya ha ha ha ha... no matter what you scum won't pass through here, I'll die before I let you through! Haha!!! Lester Who the hell is that? Hain That's that annoying stuck up fart. Aaron Be careful, everyone. This time they're serious. Sherry We can't afford to eat it here! Attack! >> Turn 1 enemy phase Zolm We will crush the enemy with our power! Together with the General's soon to be born child, the legends will speak of our victory for ages to come! Imperial General That's right! Before we are certain the General's baby is born, we refuse to die! Zolm Let's show these insolent whelps the power of the Fire Dragon Corps! >> Zolm moves Even if Lord Vargas isn't here, I fight with all my might, and the Fire Dragon Corps will not fall! >> Turn 2 Elwin It seems the enemy has ballistas. Hain Leave the explaining to me. After Scott left I studied tactics. Since ballistas use incredibly huge instruments to fire rocks and spears, their range is really long. Therefore flying troops should be very careful. They'll be killed in a single shot... Sherry What the hell are you talking about?! Flying troops are so fast and agile that they won't even have a chance to aim. Therefore flying troops should not be concerned. Hain, get your facts straight before you start telling us about strategy! Hain Huh.....?? Really?! Keith That's right. Flying troops should just be concerned with Dark Elves. But Princess... when did you study tactics? Sherry *giggle* .....That's a S-E-C-R-E-T. *Keith I see. However Princess, that amount of knowledge shows you still have a ways to go. Since Griffons' defenses are weak to ballista attacks, if you are unprepared they will get killed. Hain Ha in your face! Flying troops really do need to be careful! Sherry AAAAAHHHHH! Your words make me sick! I'm mad, uugghhhh! Keith Well Princess, please study tactics a little more. >> Imperial General (Lower left Bishop) attacks You will soon know the pain of having my men's boulders crash into your head! >> Elwin attacks Get out of the way! >> Sherry attacks I don't have time to play around! >> Lester attacked Life isn't something you abuse! >> Certain point on map is crossed Vargas Are you ok Zolm? Zolm General Vargas! Why are you here?! Is Lady Eliza happy about this? Vargas For such an important fight, do you think I'd leave you to fight it yourself?! Do you think you can win without my commands?! Zolm But Lord Vargas.... Vargas Shut up! Don't say a thing. The only thing you should care about is winning! >> Enemy phase Zolm If Lord Vargas doesn't make it back, please apologize to Lady Eliza. And now, let's teach these fools how terrible we are! >> Vargas moves Zolm Lord Vargas, please leave this to us and go to Lady Eliza. Even if the Almighty Zolm's life is taken, the enemy will not pass through! Vargas Zolm. No matter how I look at it, it's obvious my army will be at a disadvantage. Knowing this and abandoning you, how could I bring myself to return to a safe place, alone, and leave you here?! You really think I can do that!? Zolm There is no one waiting for my return! But, General, your wife... Vargas My father was a man who would abandon his men to flee home. Would you call that pride? My father would abandon his men to save himself. He was a cruel man... Because of that when I was young he looked down on me very much and often really insulted me. I don't want my child to know those feelings. I don't want my child to be ashamed of his father. No matter what the situation I'll fight with pride and honour. I want to be a brave man worthy of praise... Moreover I haven't given up yet! Kill the enemy's commander! Zolm Yes sir! (This is the first of many conversations in Langrisser II that I think makes the the game unique. Ever since the beginning of story-driven games, there have been many attempts to make the villains as evil, despicable, and stupid as possible. Precious few have tried to make them human. That, in my opinion, puts it years ahead of its time. All things considered, I found the villains to be MUCH more interesting people than the heroes... the only one who really appealed to me on the 'good' side was Sherry.) >> Zolm attacked I've grown stronger since the last time we met... If you think that I'm going to fall to just a scratch, you're going to be very disappointed... >> *Zolm attacks I won't let you do as you like forever!!!! >> Vargas attacked I won't die! I must win and return to my wife and child's side! >> Elwin attacks Vargas Why! Why are you fighting?! What on earth could be worth throwing your life away?! Vargas Whelps will never understand! My disgraceful father gave those he raised such suffering! I despised his cruelty. Moreover I'm not planning to lose! If you CAN beat me, then win this battle! Come young whelp! Don't hold back! (Of course when Elwin and company do the same no one gives a damn. It's taken for granted that the -protagonists- can do anything.) >> Vargas attacks Don't make me laugh whelp! I will surely defeat you! >> Vargas defeated, scenario clear I've been killed.... It's ok... is this the end.....???? Laird General Vargas!! Leon Wait! We've come to save you! Vargas No, it's too late. And now I have one last favor to ask.... My child is about to be born. Please go to Eliza, I want you to tell her that... I won't be coming home. And that I fought bravely to the end with my men... Leon ....Yes. I will go tell her. Vargas I'm sorry to ask this of you... But please.... Laird Lord Leon.... Leon Laird you will lead our platoon to find the castle! I must go to explain what has happened to Eliza. I will leave immediately. Laird Yes sir! Understood sir! Leon Red-headed man, you are the leader? I am Leon, tell me your name. Elwin My name is Elwin Leon Then, Elwin, you'd better remember this! I will defeat you the next time we meet! I look forward to the day! Elwin ........ This is called war. Aaron But don't we have to hurry to Kalxath Castle? General Vargas' purpose was to stop us apparently... Elwin ... Yes, that's right. Well, let's hurry to Kalxath Castle! Soldier A message! Sherry What is it!? Soldier A detachment of wizards attacked the castle, and Riana was kidnapped right before our very eyes. I'm very sorry... Keith Dammit..... Hain Shit! Those assholes wasted our time just so they could kidnap her! Damn them!! Elwin Riana.... *Sherry Riana's kidnapping means that Alhazard's revival is right before our eyes... Keith Princess...... *Aaron We don't have the power to save her by ourselves... According to legend, Alhazard bestows upon its wielder a tremendous power. He becomes a thing of the demon world. Elwin Isn't there any way we can save her.... Jessica If only we had Langrisser.... Elwin Huh? Jessica The only thing that can oppose the Sword of Evil is the Holy Sword Langrisser. Sherry The legendary sword, Langrisser! It really exists! Elwin If that's the case then can we save Riana? Jessica There is no other way to defeat the Empire. Well Elwin, let's go to Baltia! Dying words: >> Elwin Damn! This is it.... >> Hain Uuuu! I've been killed... >> *Sherry Ouch... this cut is deeper than I thought. I'm sorry, I have to fall back. >> *Aaron Dammit! Am I really too old? >> Keith Ungh! >> Lester That's the way it goes... I'm outta here! >> Jessica No.... >> Zolm Shit that was pathetic.... General Vargas will definitely avenge me--- aughh! Vargas Zolm! You son of a bitch! You bastard!!! I won't forgive you for this failure!! >> Imperial General GWAAA! Ugghh... Damn! Damn!! G... General Vargas!! Argh!!! Bastard! I'll get youuuuu... Darn! My life will soon be over... Scenario 14 "The race for Langrisser" Prologue: "Hundreds of years ago, it is said that the Descendants of Light once ruled the Kingdom of Baltia. The legendary ancient castle now rested quietly at the bottom of a lake. With Jessica's help, Elwin and his party were able to find Baltia castle, and within it, the holy sword, Langrisser. Elwin and his party weren't the only people seeking Langrisser, however, as the Blue Dragon Knights were also at Baltia Castle with the same purpose in mind. Now, after hundreds of years, the stage was set once again for the struggle of the holy sword Langrisser. X Win condition -Elwin, Jessica, or Sherry gets to Langrisser -Death of the Blue Dragon Knight Leon X Lose condition -Leon reaches Langrisser -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 Elwin: So this is the legendary Baltia Castle... Lester: No one has noticed it the bottom of the lake. Sherry: But why has it sunk? Jessica: I did that. Hain: What are you saying?! Jessica: Langrisser possesses a mighty power. Once conflicts began throughout the continent. The king of that time went somewhere in secret, there he begged me.... I took the sword to this castle after I concealed it, and sunk the castle to hide it further. This was so no one could ever awaken such limitless power again..... However once again this sword is required... Aaron: History repeats itself.... I guess this was destined to happen. Hain: Everyone look! It's there in the castle's center, that's definitely Langrisser! Elwin: Everyone hurry. If we have Langrisser, we can confront Alhazard. If we do that than we can save Riana! Keith: Huh?! That's! *Laird: Found it! This is what Lord Leon has searched for, the Baltia castle ruins... It seems there is no mistake. Imperial General: Lord Laird! The enemy is across from us!! Laird: Am I too late!? No the enemy hasn't gotten there yet, they just barely got here. Alright, everyone attack! Until Lord Leon returns don't let them near Langrisser! Imperial General: YEAH!!!!! Elwin: The Blue Dragon Knights! Everyone, no matter what, we must beat them to Langrisser! >> Jessica selected Langrisser can't be used by those that aren't Descendants of Light. With the exception of me that leaves only Sherry and Elwin. Elwin: In other words if somebody goes to take that sword it has to be one of us? Jessica: That's right. >> Turn 1 enemy phase Laird: Water Units attack the enemy inside the ruins! Imperial General: Yes sir! Laird: Flying units strike the enemy if they penetrate our forces! Imperial General: Leave it to us! Laird: Ballista units aim for the enemy's rear forces! I will cut a path to Langrisser for Leon. The enemy is strong. Don't screw up! >> Dragon Knight moves Our footing in this battlefield is bad. Speaking of which using ground units puts us at a disadvantage. But if we take the flying unit we'll have the advantage! Go, don't let them take that sword! >> Turn 2 enemy phase Imperial General: But... Around when will Lord Leon come? Won't this waste a lot of time? Laird: Lord Leon went to tell Lady Eliza of General Vargas' death.... Having to explain one's death to one's wife is very difficult. His wife just gave birth to a child, to have to tell her what has happened would be very difficult.... Imperial General: I see.... Laird: But he'll soon be here. Until than everyone do your best! Imperial General: Yes sir! >> Turn 3 *Elwin: Don't let them get Langrisser! If they get it it's over for us! >> Elwin attacks Clear the way! >> Aaron attacked I may be old, but heaven forbid you think my technique's rusty. >> Jessica attacks Don't let them break my concentration! >> Imperial Generals attack Don't let them get the sword! If you let them any further than be prepared to die! How do you like that! This is the power of the Blue Dragon Knights! I've got you! Now we must fight those pathetic bastards! Let's see if you can best me! >> Imperial Generals attacked Don't get caught up! >> Turn 3 enemy phase Laird: Lord Leon! Leon: Sorry I was late. I was playing with Vargas' child and I started talking with Eliza about Vargas... Laird: Really.... Eliza's friendship with the general is famous even among the troops but this must have been heartbreaking... Finally we are about to inherit the child... Leon: But now in this battlefield, living men with wives will rule... Fighting always brings forth sadness and unhappiness.... And because of that, in about one hour we will unify the continent and create a world without wars! Laird: Our Blue Dragon Knights, everyone has the same beliefs as you. Imperial Soldier: We share the same beliefs, Lord Leon. Leon: For that we must take Langrisser! Everyone cover me! >> Dragon Knight moves (Turn 3) Imperial General: Lord Leon! We while we stop the enemy invasion please take the sword! Leon: Yes. Do it! >> Leon moves Eggbert once told me that only I could take that sword.... Flying troops cut off the enemy's advance, give me time to get the sword! Imperial General: Yes sir! Leon: Laird, you defeat the enemy while they are occupied! Laird: Yes! *Leon: Elwin. Originally I wanted to finish this with you myself but, this Langrisser has chosen me as its wielder and I must go forth to destiny! So don't forget it! At any rate I will settle this between us! Definitely! >> Turn 4 Hain: I've, umm, been having some thoughts... Why has the Empire become so frantic to unbound Alhazard's seal? Jessica: ...Alhazard was born from the Realms of Chaos and Darkness, in the embodiment of human desires and wickedness. It is the evil sword of darkness... In the distant past there was a time when Alhazard's true power was unleased... In that time, a gate appeared between this world and the world of demons. Light fled from this world , Wicked and evil apparitions sprang forth and the world was covered in darkness. Mountains and flames suddenly rose, many living things died out. Only a few humans survived who despaired and lost their will to live, they would take their own lives..... Hain: Oh....... Alhazard is really such a terrible sword.... So if this happens, how would Langrisser help us? Jessica: When the world was covered in darkness, the King Jarkhart used his own body and brought forth the holy sword.... And the light that sprang forth from the Holy sword Langrisser saved the world. Borrowing Langrisser's power, the evil that people unleashed was destroyed. Sherry: Then in other words, if we retrieve Langrisser, we'll be able to stop Alhazard... Hain: Well then, if we get Langrisser, that means we can stop Alhazard's power.... Aaron: Does the Empire know all of this about Alhazard? If so, why are they still trying to unlock the seal... Jessica: Alhazard's power cannot control humans, so the Empire wishes for the sword to make use of it's power, without realizing fully the danger in doing so! Elwin: I can't believe it! Why are they thinking of using the power of evil!? We aren't just saving Riana! To save everyone in the world we must stop the Empire's ambitions! Jessica: That's right. We musn't let history repeat itself! (This is one of those times when I feel like slaughtering my characters) >> Turn 5 enemy phase Leon: Laird, That's sufficient. If they get this far, first we must get in the enemies way. Laird: Yes sir! Let's move to ambush the enemy! Leon: Yes, do it. >> Various characters try to take the sword Elwin: This is the Legendary Sword Langrisser.... Why does it feel so familiar? Sherry: ...That's from the sword isn't it. Jessica: The time to take the sword is once again at hand..... Hain: This is Langrisser. This is no ordinary sword, admittedly, but is it really all that great? What?! I can't pull it out! Aaron: I finally got here. !? How strange..... It seems I can't pull it out.... Keith: This is the Legendary Sword.... RRRR, I can't get it out! What does this mean!? Lester: That's Langrisser eh. It'll be mine in a second! Damn, I can't get it out! What the hell? >> Leon reaches castle center, game over Leon: Hmm'.. Is this Langrisser? Leon: The operation is over. Anymore fighting is pointless. Everyone retreat! Elwin: Wait Leon! Leon: Goodbye! Elwin: Shit, is this it... >> Leon defeated, scenario clear Damn, this is impossible.... Everyone retreat! Elwin: Ahhh... Now we can breathe a little and get Langrisser. (If you already have Langrisser for some reason) You have found the Masayan Sword! Elwin: That's? Isn't that Langrisser? It's a strange sword.... >> Player reaches center first, scenario clear Leon: Shit! We were too late. Laird: Lord Leon, let's hurry to defeat the enemy. If we go now there's still time! Leon: Stop it! Recklessly plunging in without knowing how powerful that sword is... Retreat! Laird: ...Yes.... Sir. Leon: If we were to beat them now, we still don't know if we can get that sword, it may only accept him as a wielder now. Also, our losses are heavy. We must retreat now... Elwin. I've been waiting for our fight! The next time we meet, Elwin, I will defeat you! (Scenario clear) Elwin: Leon of the Blue Dragon Knights, eh... Sherry: This is the one and only and sword that bring down the sword of evil? Jessica: And those who can handle it are the Descendants of Light. Hain: I'm so excited! Like this we can attack them in a single stroke! Aaron: Since the enemy appears to be so confused, it seems that the Alhazard has still yet to show its true power. Elwin: Since the enemy appears to be so confused, it seems that the Alhazard has still yet to show its true power. Keith: Then we must stop the Empire before it is too late! Elwin: If we are going to attack we must now. Lester: Finally! I'm getting all excited. Elwin: No matter what we must stop the breaking of the seal of Alhazard! To crush their ambition we'll fight under the divine protection of the holy sword Langrisser! Dying words: >> Elwin If I could've hung in a litle longer, Langrisser would've been ours... >> Hain Ugh.... I'm sorry everyone. >> Sherry That I was beaten at such a crucial moment... >> Aaron HN!? My eyes're just not what they used to be, not dodging attacks such as that... >> Keith Augh! That was just a bit too much for me... >> Lester Shit! I was too caught up in the moment! >> Jessica No... Since you beat me, I... >> Laird (Leon arrived) ???? ??? Leon: Don't push yourself. Fall back now! Laird: Yes sir.... >> Laird (Leon not on map) H, How can this be?! That kind of strength.... But I won't die here. I'm falling back.... >> Imperial Generals I, I can't believe it. How could I lose... Lord Leon..... Gwah! Impressive... Ugh... Ugh... They're good... really good... Impossible.... Ugyaaaaaa! Scenario 15 "The Battle at Roleck River" Prologue: "Elwin's party had at last retrieved Langrisser and decided to go to Rayguard to rescue Riana. With little time left, however, the quickest route to Rayguard was to trudge across the Roleck River. However, on the opposite shore, the Amazon Imelda has been awaiting them. While at a disadvantage, Elwin and his party decided there wasn't enough time to find another route. Though worried about Riana, Elwin drew his sword and prepared to fight Imelda. X Win Condition -Beat General Imelda -Elwin reaches bottom of map X Lose condition -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 Jessica: If we cross here, Bernhart's castle will be right before our eyes. Elwin: I'm worried about Riana... Hurry and cross! Imelda: They're finally coming. Keith: That's the female general, Imelda! Imelda: Ohhh, ho, ho, ho..... I'm famous now. You can adore me as much as you want, but you won't cross this river! Elwin: No matter what we will cross! Imelda: *giggle*... You have neither the power nor the skill, boy. >> Turn 1 enemy phase Imelda: Don't let them cross this river! Stop them in their tracks and kill them! Imperial General: Yes, sir! If it's for Lady Imelda, I do not fear my own death! Imelda: Awwww, what cute kids you guys are. >> Turn 2 Jessica: We musn't allow Alhazard to awaken! We can't allow nightmares of that time to happen again! >> Keith attacks You're in the way! >> Aaron attacked Know the power of experience! >> Lester attacked You piece of shit, you ain't gonna win! >> First Imperial General falls Imperial General: You can't win with the strength of your troops as they are. Outta the way! Imelda: Hey, hold on! When did I give the order to retreat! Imperial General: But, Imelda, we can't stop them now with our troops! We need reinforcements! Imelda: If you wanna whine please do it from heaven! Imperial General: Impossible..... >> Imelda attacks fleeing General Imelda: Arrrghh..... I don't forgive cowardice! Do I have to do everything myself...?!?! Imperial General: Please! We can't run away, forgive me! Imelda: Hmph, slob! If you say runaway again, your life will be worthless! Imperial General: Yes! I'm sorry! Imelda: You'd better get it through your thick skull. Now, back on duty! Hain: Wow.... She's really a bitch.... Lester: What's the meaning of that? Does that woman not care about the morale of her troops? (Imperial General moves) It's not over yet! Keep it comin'! (Other Imperial General moves) Attack! >> Turn 3 enemy phase Imelda: What! You still haven't crushed them yet? I don't have a lot of patience. Imperial General: But with this operation, I think an ambush on the enemy while they are crossing is the best plan.... Imperial General: Yes, please forgive me! >> Imperial General defeated Imelda: Honestly, I can't believe this. My troops can't be this weak, can they? >> Imperial General attacks Die! >> Imperial Generals attacked You're not strong enough for me! What are you doing! That's far enough! Imperial General: I won't let you get near General Imelda! >> Turn 6 enemy phase or certain number of enemy units defeated Hain: Ahhh! Riana! Elwin: Riana?! Larna: Having a hard time, General Imelda? *Imelda: Humph! Well, if it isn't the Dark Princess, herself.

Larna: After hearing you accuse me in such a manner, I won't regret what will happen later. Anyway, my orders are to assist you. Now, my faithful servants, let the foolish mortals know death! Imelda: ....Damn, Having that brat help me, I'm falling in this world.... Jessica: She controls monsters, and she follows the path of evil....? Elwin: That's impossible. >> Scylla moves Heeheehee..... What a delicious looking meal. >> Scylla attacks Scylla: Hah-ha-ha..! Die! >> Next turn Jessica: It seems she is being manipulated by someone. Elwin: Riana.... Is there no way to wake her up? Jessica: If you defeat the person who cast the spell, they will turn back to normal. Elwin: Damn! It's almost as if they're mocking us! >> Turn 8 Scott: Elwin! I've come to help! Elwin: Scott! Scott: Please look at the results of my training! (Gains several levels) >> Scott moves Scott: Okay, let's go! I'll protect everyone! Hain: By the way, Scott, what on earth are the troops with the feathered wings? Scott: They are called angels. They're quite useful, as they aren't affected by offensive magic. Sherry: Hrmm... If magic can't breach their defenses, then they're pretty freaking awesome! >> Scott attacks Let's go! I'll show you how far I've progressed! >> Various characters attacked by Larna Lester: Were they really friends? Elwin: It's Elwin! Don't you know me! Hain: What's with you, Riana? Open your eyes! >> Imelda attacks Give up and die by my sword. >> Imelda attacked Ooh-ho-ho-ho! You couldn't put a blemish on my beatiful face! >> Lester attacks Imelda Fighting with girls ain't my idea of fun. Oh, well, guess I gotta this time. Imelda: Hmph! See just how sweet fighting with women is while you're eyes are blinded with pain! mad] Larna: What are you saying? I'm Larna! Dark Princess Larna! Larna: "She" has nothing to say to you people. Withdraw or fall back! >> Elwin reaches bottom of map, scenario clear Imelda: Shit! Troops... regroup! Everyone retreat! >> Imelda defeated, scenario clear Imelda: Guh! Pests! I'll remember this! >> Scenario clear Sherry: The enemy ran away. Elwin: Why on earth is Riana controlling monsters?! (If Larna was defeated) Jessica: I felt a spell on her. And the voice which summoned her back is one I remember hearing before. Scott: Well then, everyone, didn't we need to go to Rayguard castle? Aaron: Scott... In just a short period of time you have become very tough... Lester: Rayguard Castle is right before us. Elwin: Got it. Anyway I'm worried about Riana. Let's hurry ahead! Dying words: >> Elwin Is this the end...? >> Hain You got me... >> Sherry Ouch! >> Aaron N, not good... >> Keith Oh, no! >> Lester Son of a bitch! >> Scott Guh, not yet! I thought I improved upon my strength since... >> Jessica Impossible...... >> Larna How, how could I lose. " Return, Dark Princess. We can't afford to lose you" Larna ....Yes, I understand. Imelda: Hmph! What a waste that girl is. I won't confront her after all. >> Imperial General Is this it...? IMPOSSIBLE! Uuhh... Madame Imelda!!! General Imelda! Help me...please.... Imelda!!! Gaah! Uuuf! >> Scylla Ugaah! Uuuhh... >> Wyvern GYSYAAAH! Scenario 16 "The Blue Dragon Knights Again" *Prologue: "Riana was apparently being controlled by someone, and Elwin and his party were in shock over her complete and total change. At last, Emperor Bernhart would reveal himself. His castle was designed to be hard to attack, and easy to defend. Bernhart had, in just one generation, formed a nation, and had taken over half a continent. But now he was planning to use Alhazard, the legendary sword of evil, to unify the entire continent. To prevent this, Elwin's party had to penetrate into Bernhart's castle and stop him before Alhazard's seal was broken. But as Elwin and his party approached the castle gates, they saw Elwin's old rival, Leon, waiting for them. The final battle with the Blue Dragon Knights had begun. X Win condition -Death of Blue Dragon Knight Leon -OR one character reaches the gate of the castle X Lose condition -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 Elwin: We finally made it! *Sherry: Just inside is where... Emperor Bernhart resides. Leon: It seems that Imelda's plan didn't work out so well... But, thanks to that, I'm able to confront Elwin! *Elwin: Leon! But there's no way we'll lose! We'll defeat Bernhart and rescue Riana! >> Turn 1 enemy phase Leon: If this fight lasts long we'll end up with quite a few disadvantages. And it doesn't help that our enemy is powerful... Laird: I understand, sir! >> Imperial Generals attack Take this!! >> Imperial Generals attacked Think you can win? Taste this! Don't make me laugh! Huh! Take this! Can your power match this? Show me the extent of your power! Uhh... However, I'll die in order to defend this fort! Take this! Not bad... Not sloppy at all. >> *Laird attacked Don't let them take a single step into the castle! >> Turn 8 Larna: I'll help you Leon. Leon: Larna?! I have no need of a woman's help. Larna: Unfortunately, you owe me big... I'll do as I please. Leon: Fine... Do as you like. Elwin: No matter what it takes, I'm going through! >> Ghosts move Larna: My cute little monsters. Protect Leon. >> Larna attacks Elwin: Why, Riana?! Why are you fighting us?! Aren't we your friends? >> All imperial generals defeated Larna: This is too easy... Leon: This has been a long and violent path, and we've come this far... But, this time I have a partner! You will not proceed any further! Larna: I'll fight too! Leon: Stop it, Larna! I'll take care of this! Larna: Nope. You still haven't paid me back yet. Leon: Hmm. You've changed... Anyway, don't press yourself too hard. >> Larna attacked This wasn't as easy as I thought it would be... (Continue same as above with Leon, "This has been...") >> Leon moves Leon: Let's go Larna! If things stay as they are, the enemy can't pass! Larna: Hahaha... As long as we're together, I have nothing to fear. Leon: Don't slacken off. >> Larna moves Larna: Don't let the Descendants of Light interfere! >> Larna attacks You've made it this far. However, for Leon and that other guy, you'll die here! >> Leon attacks Elwin! I've waited forever for the chance to fight you! And now I'll pay you back for everything!! >> Leon attacked Leon: You've gotten better, Elwin! >> Elwin reaches castle gates, scenario clear Leon: Heh! So you're gonna try to get through? All right, Elwin! We'll see this through to the end! *Larna: You're going to attack? ...Well, fine. Whatever happens to Bernhart is of no concern to me. >> Leon defeated scenario clear dead (eye open)] Leon: Damn, that's impressive! But don't forget that your power comes from that sword! Alhazard's revival is right before our eyes. Once the seal has been broken, you won't stand a chance! (If Larna is still alive) *Larna: This has to be the power of Langrisser, since even Leon was beaten... Never mind about Bernhart, injuring Leon is something I cannot tolerate! You will know the true power of us, the premier family of darkness! dead (eye open)] Leon: .....Stop Larna. We're at a disadvantage, fall back! Larna: But I won't be content unless I do something. Leon: Please, just retreat! I won't let you expose yourself to danger simply for my sake! *Larna: ...And yet you would do it for Bernhart's sake? Leon: ...Yes... I probably would. Larna: I'll forget it this time, Leon. Next time, I won't be so forgiving! Leon: Farewell, Elwin! (Scenario clear) Elwin: Shit! Where's the spellcaster who's controlling Riana?! Sherry: Elwin.... Aaron: Finally our last battle has come. Let's combine our power and go. Hain: Let's go, Elwin. I'm worried about Riana. *Scott: If we can defeat Bernhart, we can end this wave of wars. *Jessica: Well then, let's go. Before Alhazard awakens, defeat Bernhart! ...Wherever Alhazard is, the spellcaster controlling Riana shall also appear. *Elwin: Alright! At last we can attack! We will defeate Bernhart! And... Save Riana! Dying words: >> Elwin Ugh... That's it... >> Hain Sorry, guys. I've been beaten... >> Sherry Ouch... >> Aaron I'm too old... >> Keith Was I unprepared...? >> Lester I screwed up.... >> Jessica Impossible... >> Scott My training wasn't enough... >> Imperial General Lord Leonnnn! What...?! Gwah! Uggh! They beat me... Gehuh... >> Ghost Hyuuuuu...... Uooooooooon >> Laird Damn..... Leon: Fall back Laird! We can't afford to lose you. Laird: I'm sorry. >> Larna Ergh, well done. Leon: Are you OK, Larna?! Larna: Yes, relax. I just made an error.... *Leon: You must retreat! I won't allow you to put yourself in danger for my sake! *Larna: ......And yet you would do it for Bernhart? Leon: ...Ummmm... Larna: Never mind. This time, I'll retreat. (If Laird still alive) Leon: ...Let's go Laird! We'll prevent them from reaching His Majesty! Laird: Yes sir! (If not) *Leon: Even if I have to fight alone, you won't reach the Emperor! Leon: It's over, Elwin! *Scenario 17 "Emperor Bernhart" *Prologue: "Elwin's party defeated the Blue Dragon Knights and broke into the castle to find a hard-bodied man with piercing eyes sitting on a throne. He looked more like a soldier than an Emperor, but he seemed to carry an air of dignity that separated him from normal soldiers. Near him was a man with an evil smile standing back, looking extremely interested in the party that had fought their way through so many of the Empire's best soldiers. Elwin and his party had very little time to prepare their soldiers, while Bernhart calmly awaited the decisive battle. X Win condition -Death of Emperor Bernhart X Lose condition -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 Bernhart: What a noisy little bunch has come... Elwin: We found you! You're Bernhart! Bernhart: I am the Rayguard Empire's Emperor Bernhart. I'll have to thank you for bringing Langrisser all this way. Sherry: How can you be so calm while being pushed in such a corner? Bernhart: Why shouldn't I be? The last laugh shall be ours! Elwin: ..... Riana isn't here! Why isn't she here?! *Bosel: .....Ha You came all this way for the girl. Too bad isn't it. Jessica: Th, That can't be! That man is.... Bernhart: Hmmm..... You know this man? He helped me obtain Alhazard. Jessica: Emperor Bernhart, this man Bosel is called the Prince of Darkness.... You are being used by him. The power you think you've achieved isn't just from the sword. Alhazard will bring over the destruction of this world, the cursed sword of evil! Bernhart: Even if it's a cursed evil sword I will control all its power. If you have time to talk...Then you have time to fight. Elwin: You wish! Let's go guys! >> Imperial Generals attacked Not bad at all. But you won't reach his Highness! Let's see if you've got what it takes. No matter how much pain I must endure, I WILL protect the Emporer! How arrogant! >> Imperial Generals attack Take this! We'll teach them what it means the oppose the Imperial Army. *Let's show them our power! Kuu Ha ha ha. How's that! I'll protect His Majesty! Don't let them take another step! >> Turn 1 enemy phase Bernhart: Elwin? I've learned much about you from my men. However with just those soldiers it will be a long fight to this throne. Not to mention that raising a sword to me is pure suicide... Elwin: Is that so! We will win this fight! Bernhart: Hmm... You're interesting... In that case show me what you've got. >> Turn 5 enemy phase, reinforcements arrive Imperial General: Your Majesty! Are you ok! *Bernhart: Yes. They made it here. Engage them before they have time to develop a strategy. Imperial General: Yes, sir! >> Reinforcements move Imperial General: You dare raise arms His Majesty, you fools won't leave this castle alive. Wipe them all out! >> Player crosses certain point on map Elwin: Bernhart! You've already lost. Give up while you can! Bernhart: Pathetic! The Rayguard Emperor doesn't know the meaning of give up. Not to mention defeat! >> A couple of turns later *Bosel: Be careful, Bernhart. These fools have more power than you'd five them credit for... Bernhart: Those fools even being able to touch a man of your measure is a riduculous concept. Yet, from what you've said, you think the Descendants of Light are a danger. Bosel: Fu.... No I said I was worried about your ability to defeat them. Bernhart: That's a waste of breath. I won't lose to them. >> Bosel attacked Bosel: Fu.... The Descendants of Light? >> Elwin attacks Bosel Bosel: Descendants of Light?... You're always intefering with my plans! I tried to kill you all before you could take the sword. I almost succeeded in wiping out your bloodline forever too... You've got good luck in bad situations, eh? Elwin: Wait a minute...! You killed Doren?! Bosel: I didn't know who he was. But your old man seriously wounded one of my men. Elwin: So it was your orders!! I'll avenge Doren! Bosel: What a snobby little idiot you are... If that old man wasn't there you would be already dead! Because of that battle, the old man Fayas still has to tend to his wounds. Elwin: I'll never forgive you! I'll defeat both you and Fayas!!! Bosel: You've got some balls... >> Jessica attacks Bosel Jessica: Bosel! This time, I'm going to make sure you can't continue doing as you see fit! *Bosel: Wait a minute... You were that sorceress? Using Rebirth means that you possess a high command of extremely powerful magic. But this time I won't make the same mistake, I'll you pay you back for that humiliation. >> Bosel attacks Die beyond agony... >> Various characters attack Bernhart Elwin: Your ambitions are over! Hain: Let's finish it! Sherry: Bernhart, prepare yourself! Keith: This is it for you! Lester: I'm gonna kick your ass! Jessica: Prepare yourself! Elwin: Where is Riana? Answer me Bernhart!! Bernhart: That is not of my concern. To revive Alhazard, Bosel took her. After that I have no idea. Why don't you find out yourself. Bernhart: That is not of my concern. To revive Alhazard, Bosel took her. After that I have no idea. Find him and ask him yourself. Aaron: Don't even think about it! Scott: Let's go! >> Bernhart defeated, scenario clear Damn!! You're stronger than I thought, but don't think this is over! Arrgghh! (If Bosel hasn't retreated) Bosel: How foolish. We still have the puppet.... Jessica: Bosel! You can't escape! Bosel: I'm sorry but I don't have time to play with you. When I reach my full power we will meet again, Descendant's of Light! You'd better prepare yourself! Lester: It's over.... Elwin: No not yet. Sherry: Why not? We beat Bernhart. Hain Why? Bernhart has been defeated. Jessica: That man.... It's not over while Bosel lives. Elwin: Unless he is killed he will revive Alhazard.... And also Riana... If we don't defeat him, we can't rescue Riana. Sherry: That's it! That man is controlling Riana! Hain: Yes!!! That man is controlling Riana! Elwin: Well.... We must follow after Bosel. *Jessica: Bosel is called the Prince of Darkness, a long time ago he obtained the power of the God of Chaos, and covered the world in fear. However his ambitions were always cut off by descendants of Light's hands. Knowing this hundreds of years ago he tried to lead the world into ruin. *Scott: That's what's called the War of the Holy Sword. Was this the fight you fought with the Baltia royal family? Soldier: That's was called the War of the Holy Sword. Was this the fight you fought with the Baldia royal family? Elwin: In other words, he didn't die during that war. *Jessica: We couldn't completely destroy him... He was no longer human, he'd reached the power of the God of Chaos, and by using the power of darkness he could resurrect himself. Even with Langrisser there was limit to how much we could seal him. Scott: But how did he break the seal? Elwin: But how could he have broken the seal? Jessica: I don't know, but there's one thing I can answer. Bosel controlled Emperor Bernhart so that he could revive Alhazard. Aaron: Bernhart was helpless... During his hunt for power he lost sight of himself... That was how Bosel used him... Elwin: Pathetic man.... He lost sight of himself over his crave for power. That was how Bosel used him. Jessica: If Alhazard's power is revived, then no one will be able to defeat Bosel. Since he already possesses an incredible magic power, Alhazard's power will intesify his strength even more. Lester: Well then, let's tear him up before he revives Alhazard! Elwin: Then we must defeat Bosel before he revives Alhazard. *Jessica: Let's go to the forbidden land Velzeria. Bosel and Riana must be there. Elwin: Alright, let's go! To save the world and Riana! Dying words: >> Elwin I made it this far just to die... >> Hain Shit! How could I die now, pathetic... >> Sherry Ouuchh! I won't forgive you! >> Aaron No! >> Keith Uooohh! I was too reckless.... >> Lester Keh... Pretty good... >> Jessica Impossible..... >> Scott Not good... >> Bosel My full power still hasn't returned.... You just wait until it does! Then we shall meet again, descendants of Light. Bernhart: What rubbish. >> *Imperial Generals Guuooooo! What power... But that's not enough to beat his Majesty. Gwah...! Why.... I... Impossible?! Geh... Y....Your Majesty... Nuah... Long live...Emporer Bernhart... Gwah! Uuooooooooooo! Scenario 18 "The Dark Princess Larna" Prologue: "Hot on Bosel's heels to Velzeria, Elwin and his party came across a village being attacked by demons. Laughing amidst the carnage was a young girl. Elwin couldn't believe it when he saw that the young girl was Riana. Despite being at a total loss as to what had happened to Riana to make her evil and allow her to be able to control monsters, Elwin and his party rushed to stop Riana. X Win condition -Death of Great Dragon -Death of Dark Princess X Lose condition -Death of Elwin -Death of all the people in the village" >> Turn 1 Villager: P, Please save me! Larna: Ah ha ha ha ha! Run away run away! If you don't escape you'll die! Villager: Kyaaa! Jessica: Please stop! Larna: It's seems they showed up... Elwin: That's enough! There's no reason to attack the innocent! Hain: Yeah! I'm really mad! Larna: What a noble sense of justice! Bosel said humans are demon's food Jessica: We really must stop Bosel at all costs. *Keith: Where is there a safe place to evacuate the villagers.... The city's south is cut off, but the west seems pretty easy to protect. Aaron: Elwin, what will you do? Make them go to the west? Elwin: Everyone! Go west! Make them go to the south? Elwin: Everyone! Go south! Order them not to move? Elwin: Please don't move from there. Please wait patiently! Villager: Ye, Yes. >> Turn 1 enemy phase Larna: Those who get in Lord Bosel's way have no right to live! Elwin: Bosel... He was that man near Bernhart.... Larna: Fu Fu Fu... Bernhart was our puppet from the beginning. He was just a piece of the puzzle for Alhazard's complete revival. Hain: Bernhart really was controlled by Bosel! Jessica: We'll stop both Alhazard's revival and Bosel's ambition! Larna: Fuu Fuu Fuu... You have that kind of power? >> Scylla attack I'll spill blood all over your face. It's been awhile since I've eaten such delicious looking humans. There's enough to go around! >> Witch attacks Destroy! >> Witch attacked I have mastered the evil ways, you really want to fight?... You really want to throw away your life eh. >> Aaron attacked Protect the villagers! >> Keith attacks Larna Riana! Please wake up! >> Elwin attacks Larna Wake up Riana! Larna: I am.... The Dark Princess, Larna! I'm not this Riana person! >> Turn 5 enemy phase Larna: Well cute dragon. Burn everything in sight! Great Dragon: GRAAAAAGH!!! >> Turn 6 Larna: It won't be long before this village is reduced to smoldering ashes! If you don't like that then prove to me that you have the power to stop it! Elwin: Why is the Dragon going after the city.... Jessica: She's controlling that fearsome dragon with the power she received from Bosel... And if Bosel possesses Alhazard's power, the world will be covered in darkness. If we don't defeat Bosel, we'll never achieve true peace! Elwin: No matter what we've gotta defeat Bosel... To prevent evil from ruling the world... And for Riana.... Elwin: It's terrible, and this is all due to Bosel's powerful magic strength... Sherry: And if Bosel adds Alhazard's power to his own, it will become a really bad situation. >> Great Dragon attacked ROOOOAARRGH!!! >> Next turn Sherry: The Great Dragon is expectedly strong. Elwin: Using our most powerful soldiers attacking at once, is probably the safest way. >> All enemies besides Great Dragon and Larna defeated - Larna becomes active Larna: As I expected... Be waiting for the power of Bosel's wrath! >> Larna moves Larna: Personally, I want to test your test... ('Mettle' or something would be more appropriate here, but it's hard to say what it's supposed to be so I'll just leave it.) >> Next turn Jessica: To prevent Bosel's plans, we must quickly reach Velzeria. In that meantime, that man will be trying to revive Alhazard! Keith: As usual Jessica is right. However taking a land route we'll lose a lot of time. But with a boat we can go there via the Dires channel... Elwin: But taking a land route will take to much time. If we had a boat, we can cross the Dires channel, but.... Jessica: That's true. In that case we have to find boats. >> Jessica moves within 2 spaces of Larna, scenario clear Jessica: With great pains I've moved close to her. I'll try to break Bosel's spell! Lumind, Lim, Dikas, Raihi, Oovi! Larna: Uu...... Sto.....p....... ...the pain..... Elwin: Riana! Jessica: ...I seem to have failed. My power couldn't break the spell after all.... Hain: If Jessica couldn't do it, it would be a waste for me to try. Elwin: But why did they plan to attack the village.... Villager: Well.... At the Empire's Mireil port they are preparing for a departure. So that you couldn't interfere, it seems they needed to buy time. Elwin: Really! They were planning to use that ship to go to Velzeria! >> Larna defeated, scenario clear Why.... Damn.... But I must have wasted a lot of time for Imelda's departure.... When we meet again, I'll take your lives. >> Great Dragon defeated, scenario clear Great Dragon: SCRRRRARGH!!! *Larna: What!!? My cute little dragons are dead.... Well it's ok. I've wasted enough time for Imelda's depature. When we meet again I'll take your lives. (Larna fled) Elwin: Riana! Sherry: ...... Hain: She left... Scott: Speaking of which, there's a port town called Mireil in the area. There Imelda needs time to prepare for her departure, she's planning to go to Velzeria. Aaron: Of course.... Lester: If we're gonna go to Velzeria, we gotta hurry up and get that boat. (Scenario clear) Sherry: No matter what Bosel must be defeated.... Also for Riana... Elwin: ...Yeah. But why is Riana backing up Imelda? Jessica: If we're worried, that's to be expected. We will have a huge battle ahead of us... Let's hurry to Mireil! (All villagers still alive) Villager: Please wait! Thanks to you, we were saved. This is a small gift of our appreciation. Please accept this. (Receive Crown) Elwin: We don't have more time for a land route, therefore we have to take a ship. All right, let's go to Mireil! Dying words: >> Elwin R, Riana.... Why... *Larna: Ha ha ha! It's already over? Oh well, Lord Bosel's orders are over with, I can withdraw now. >> Hain Uwaaa! >> Sherry Ouucchhhh! >> Aaron Damn! She's strong! >> Keith Damn, impossible.... >> Lester Shit! I got beat! >> Jessica Ahhhh.... >> Scott Damn! >> Villager M, mommy... No.. I don't wanna di..e.... Larna: Ha ha ha.... Humans are trash. *Ha ha... Humans are so fragile. >> Minotaurs Guuuuuuuuu! Gyuoooooo! >> Wyverns SCRAAAAAAAAKK!!! >> Scylla Uggyaaaa! I've been injured... >> Witches Gufuu... How could you posses that kind of strength... Scenario 19 "Battle at Mireil" Prologue: "After Elwin and his party managed to save the little village under attack from the Dark Princess and her Dragon, the grateful villagers informed Elwin of preparations going on at the Imperial port of Mireil. Elwin and his party decided that they would capture a boat from the port and thus would be able to get to Velzeria much quicker via the Dires channel. Elwin and his party began the operation to capture the ship. X Win condition -Death of General Imelda in 23 turns X Lose condition -Run out of time -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 Imelda: What the hell's taking so long?! We still can't depart! Imperial General: The boat takes a long time to prepare, I'm sorry...! Imelda: Hurry up! Before that little brat comes! Hain: Ahhhh! The Imperial Army's boat! Keith: I guess we made it in time. Lester: Great Timing! We'll take their boat from right under their feet and go to Velzeria. Imelda: That little bitch, Dark Princess! She is really one of Bosel's minions, and with that power it can't be helped! Defend until we can depart! >> Turn 2 Jessica: Let's hurry... If we miss that boat, we'll have a tough time finding a way to Velzeria. Aaron: Yes. We'll have a hard enough time crossing the Dires channel... Elwin: It's looks likes the preparations for the departure are still taking some time. While they're doing that let's take the ship! >> Imperial Generals attacked Audacious scum! Funny! You think you can beat me! >> Imperial Generals attack Fu ha ha ha ha... Die, Die! Uriyah! >> Imelda attacked Imelda: I'm so grateful to have the chance to kill you all myself! >> Imelda attacks Son of a! You dare raise a hand against me! (These two sound like they should be switched) >> Player moves onto ship *Imelda: You scum, you think you can take this ship! No matter what you won't interfere with our departure. Laird: Wait Elwin! It'll take more than that! Elwin: Is that Laird! At such a time! Imelda: Laird isn't it! You've saved us. I'll have to thank you! Laird: Now since Lord Leon is in the middle of a mission, the regular army is marching out. I haven't gotten used to having this little power yet, but we'll support you. Imelda: You siding with me here means that Leon was also worried too. Anyway until we can depart please give us some time! Laird: Yes m'am! >> Laird moves Laird: Well let's go! We can't let them take off with the ship! We'll buy General Imelda some time! Imperial General: Yes sir! >> Next turn Elwin: Why? It seems that Bosel is trying to save Imelda. Furthermore something about combining and saving Imelda???? As far as Bosel is regarding the empire.... Are the forces of evil really their enemy? Laird: That's right, the forces of evil are considered our enemy. However, his Majesty's final wish was to serve the Empire. But the Blue Dragon Knights will not be used by evil! Elwin: How foolish! You for the sake of a dead man you follow the forces of evil?! Laird: Morever Lord Leon said to bear it. Leon does not fight selfishly. Therefore we will follow Bosel as those are our orders and our choice! I won't anwser anymore! If you have time to this listen than come and fight! (Or, if Laird has already been driven out) *Imelda: Certainly, following the forces of darkness isn't fitting for someone of my gender or beauty... However, since the defeat of my Emperor, I have been ordered to follow Bosel. Because of that, I've been reduced to serving those creeps! Elwin: How foolish! You're obeying a dead man's wish to follow the forces of evil! Imelda: I'm no longer answering you! The last laugh is ours! >> Elwin reaches top right corner of map Elwin: Since it seems enemy reinforcements are on their way, we must consider what to do next. Right now, though, we must concentrate on defeating Imelda! >> Turn 13 enemy phase Imelda: How are the preparations going? Imperial Soldier: The weapons have been loaded aboard. Imelda: Hurry up! Isn't the actual the battleship ready?! (What she says depends on how many imperial generals have been killed) (Case 1) Imperial General: Lady Imelda! The men have been exterminated, wiped out! Imelda: I, Impossible! We don't have more time to spare! Hurry with the preparations! (Case 2) Imperial General: Lady Imelda...I'm sorry, the garrison was complety defeated... Imelda: I can't believe this! FIGHT!!! Stop those little brats!! Imperial General: Yes m'am! Even if it takes my life! (Case 3) Imelda: Do as I said, since we don't have the soldiers for reinforcements! Be prepared to die for me! Imelda: Good. Now give us some time! Imperial General: Yes m'am! Everyone is putting up a good fight! Imelda: All right great! Now give me some time! Imperial General: Understood! Imelda: Give me a report on the garrison's present condition! Imelda: Then hurry up! How is the garrison? Imperial Soldier: Yes m'am! At once! >> Turn 18 enemy phase Imelda: Not yet? Imperial Soldier: Almost... Just a little bit longer! Imelda: You screw around and I'll leave you here! Imperial Soldier: Very well! We'll attack with all our might! Imelda: Oo ho ho ho ho! We made it on time! Bon voyage little lambs! Elwin: Dammit! We weren't on time. Sorry Riana.... >> Turn 20 enemy phase Imperial Soldier: Lower the ropes! Raise the anchor! Elwin: There's no time! We must finish this now! >> Turn 21 enemy phase Imelda: Still not yet!! Imperial Soldier: There's no time! >> Turn 22 enemy phase Imperial Soldier: Prepare the departure! Tighten the mast! Elwin: This is bad! Hurry!! >> Turn 23 enemy phase, game over >> Imelda defeated, scenario clear Gyyaaaa! B, Beautiful me, I can't ..... Die....in such a....remote... Place..... (If Laird is still around) Laird: General Imelda... It is futile for us to continue to fight... ....We're falling back. (If you brought Elwin to the top righ corner) Elwin: Well it's about time to leave. But should we take care of the enemy reinforcements.... *Will you attack the enemy's reinforcements? (If yes) Elwin: If we do this, we can aim for a time to leave for Velzeria... Scott: Please wait! If we don't repair the damage caused by the battle, we can't leave. Elwin: It can't be helped. Let's attack the enemy! (If no) Elwin: Yes, let's go as it is! Next stop, Velzeria! Lester: Raise the anchor! Let's go! Dying words: >> Elwin Damn! How could I die.... Imelda: *Ahhhh*... We can finally get out of here. Raising a weapon again me was a mistake in the first place. Ohh ho ho ho.... >> Hain No.... >> Sherry Ouuuchhh! Hey, what are you doing?! >> Aaron Uugh, my old wound... >> Keith Damn! Not bad.... >> Lester I was unprepared... >> Jessica No... >> Scott I've been beaten... >> Laird As I expected Leon, you assessed the enemy well.... Imelda: Laird..... Thanks. Leave this to me and retreat. If you died how could I ever face Leon again. Laird: I was absolutely useless... I'm sorry... Imelda: That's not true. Thanks to you we bought some time. Well quickly retreat. Laird: Yes m'am.... >> Imperial Generals Gyahhh! Uuuggghh.... Guha.... L.... Lady... Imel...d....... ....Ghhh! General.... I'm finished..... Ugghhhh... Uwaaaaa! *Scenario ?2 "Fierce Battle of Dires" *Prologue: "With the preparations of the large ship incomplete, Elwin's party decided to leave on small boats, one for each Commander. However, in the horizon, Elwin saw an imperial boat that was pursuing them. Could it perhaps be General Imelda's troops who meant to avenge her defeat? Elwin and his group got ready to face what they expected to be a quick battle. However, the Rayguard troops aboard the ship were prepared to fight fiercely for their fallen general. X Win condition -Death of all enemies X Lose condition -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 Seigal: Fu ha ha ha... If we see the enemy we just take them out right away... What fools! Our ultimate aerial troops will punish you! Folger: Imelda's backup was late but we shall avenge her! Keith: Be careful! The enemy's flying troops are balanced. Aaron: It's a shame that, since we're on the high seas, our movement is quite restricted. Elwin: Flying and sea units, help protect our more vulnerable comrades. Do your best everyone! >> Turn 1 enemy phase Seigal: Folger! Me and two others will take on the red headed wuss! Folger: Leave it to me! Seigal: Alright! All the troops attack the enemy by your own judgement! >> Seigal moves Go now Folger! Take that little man's head! >> Seigal attacks Litte runt, prepare yourself! >> Seigal attacked Seigal: Die! Die! Die! >> Folger attacked Folger: Even if it takes my life I'll destroy you! Seigal: Don't exhaust yourself! The enemy is very powerful! Folger: Yes sir! >> Turn 2 enemy phase Seigal: Ultimate Aerial Troops, words of wisdom. One, the enemy thinks that our life is theirs to take... >> Turn 3 enemy phase *Seigal: Ultimate Aerial Troops, words of wisdom. Two, for our beloved Empire we will definitely win anything! >> Turn 4 enemy phase Seigal: Ultimate Aerial Troops, words of wisdom. Three, yesterday's friends are today's enemy. Today's enemies are tommorow's enemies! Sherry: Wha?? >> Turn 5 enemy phase Seigal: This is the Ultimate Aviation Battle Squadron's Clause of Wisdom. If one were to fall during combat, a weary person he would be. Aaron: Hey. These guys have no clue. >> Everyone but Seigal defeated, Sherry alive Sherry: The only troops left are yours. Why don't you give up? Any more fighting is useless! Seigal: The Ultimate Aerial Troops never retreat! >> Everyone but Seigal defeated, Sherry also defeated Seigal: Damn.... My ultimate aerial troops how could we be annihilated.... But we'll fight down to the very last man..... >> All enemies defeated, scenario clear Elwin: It's over..... Sherry: I really didn't get those guys... Elwin: Once our preparations are finished, we need to hurry to Velzeria! Dying words: >> Elwin ...I attempted a little too much... >> Hain Uwwwaa! >> Sherry Ewwww! Why do I have to lose..... >> Aaron Yeah.... I'm tooo old...... >> Keith Uooooo! >> Lester Damn.... >> Jessica Ahh.... >> Scott My training was unsatisfactory..... >> Folger Seigal.... This is it for me.... Seigal: Yes. You did well, I appreciate your efforts! >> Seigal Guhaa.... Folger: Seigal! Seigal: Leave this to me! I promise...I will avenge... Folger: Understood! >> Imperial Generals Uoooooo! Uuuuu! Mommy.... No good... I've lost my teeth... Uoooo!! I don't want to die! I don't want to die..... Gwaaaaaa.... Uwwaaaaaa.... Scenario 20 "The Red Sea" *Prologue: "After defeating Imelda, and successfully taking the boat, Elwin left for Velzeria to rescue Riana. Inside the calm heavens, the trip seemed to be going smoothly, but a big ship from Velzeria drew near. On that ship were monsters controlled by Bosel for an ambush, and they had come to stop and challenge Elwin's invasion. Two boats joined via gangplanks, and the fight began between the two boats. X Win condition -Death of all enemies X Lose condition -Death of Elwin >> Turn 1 Scott Looks like there's trouble... a boat has stopped next to us! They're trying to board us! Sherry Let's give them a proper greeting! *Fayas So, just as I thought, the Descendants of Light have come here. For you to take up arms against Bosel and still be living creatures requires much skill and strength on your behalf. But you're not going to reach Velzeria! I simply won't allow it! *Elwin It can't be helped. Looks like we have to break through. Fayas ...Interesting. I'll fight you to see if my old wound gets in the way. >> Fayas moves This is my last chance to prove myself to Bosel... I won't make the same mistakes as last time... I shall bathe in the blood of the Descendents of Light from here on! >> Turn 2 Hain Among the enemy, that's one of the strangest statues I've ever seen, isn't that a Golem.... *Scott That's right.... Golems are made impervious to harm, making them difficult to defeat. Furthermore since they carry pikes fighting them with horse troops is dangerous. But since they are so slow, foot soldiers can take the advantage. Sherry Ehhhh.... Scott, you really know a lot, don't you. Hain Sherry, I think it's more that you're just ignorant to these things... Sherry OH! Puh-leease! If you're so concerned about my alleged "lack of knowledge", then put your mind at ease knowing that I already understood such a simple fact! Keith Princess, I really wish you would concentrate more on your studies! Sherry Fine then, Keith! That does it! Once this war is over I'm runnning away! Keith Princess, please! Aaron My...... what a pain in the..... >> Turn 2 enemy phase Fayas I have an old grudge with you descendants of light. Especially the red squirt, you! Elwin What are you talking about? *Fayas You really don't know? I had orders from Bosel to eliminate the descendants of Light..... But when I went out to kill you, an old buffoon got in the way.... Elwin WHAT?! Then you killed Doren! Fayas That's right! Thanks to him I got a bad wound and I've never quite recovered. But even with this wound.... this time, I will feast in your blood. Elwin I'll never forgive you!!!!!! I will definitely defeat you! Prepare to die! >> Same turn, Fayas moves Fu ha ha! I've always wanted to show you! That old bag's bleeding corpse! Sherry Elwin.... *Elwin I'm okay. If I fight with rage and hatred I'll be no different from him. Besides if I lose my cool I won't be able to win this fight that I must win. Fayas Hmmmmm... You're the leader alright, you're not so stupid after all. Sherry The victory which you speak of will be ours alone! >> Turn 3 Fayas Ha ha ha..... You despise me? Want to kill me? That rage and hatred is the source of our power..... You're nothing more than a hate-ridden fool. Elwin Damn...... Jessica Elwin! Don't fight with just rage and hatred! If you do that you will lose the power of light! >> Turn 4 enemy phase Fayas Oh, by the way, this girl Riana that you speak of is quite the delicious-looking morsel. Heh-heh-heh, wouldn't it be dreadful to see the look on her tender face if I were to rip the flesh off her tender body and suck the blood out from her veins? Elwin Fayas!! You won't get away with this! I'll surely rescue Riana! Fayas Fu ha ha... you can say that after you beat me! >> Player moves onto enemy ship Elwin Let's go in one stroke! Eliminate the enemy! Fayas Son of a..... But you underestimate our magic power! Lester We'll see about that! If we surround the sucker with flying and water units, we should kick his butt easily enough. *Elwin That's right. Let's not give them a chance to counterattack! >> Fayas/Elwin move near each other *Elwin Fayas! There's nowhere to run! Prepare yourself! Fayas Pathetic! I'll let you meet your old man! >> Witch attacked I don't wanna die like this... >> Turn 9 enemy phase Kraken GYUGOOOOH! Wyvern GISYAAA! Fayas Fu ha ha...Bosel's reinforcements are right on time. Soon we will put an end to you. Hain Damn! The enemy reinforcements are here! Scott A Kraken is here! We must change our strategy! Elwin Don't fight it in the water! Lure it on to the ship and fight! >> Kraken reaches ship Elwin Let's do it! Lure the Kraken to the ship like this. >> Elwin attacks Fayas Fayas Shrimp! You finally made it! But how long will this fortune continue? Elwin Don't underestimate me! >> All enemies defeated, scenario clear Elwin He died because I was a descendant of light... ..He died instead of me... Many people close to me have died.... I can't protect anyone... Sherry Elwin.... *Jessica You were destined to be born as a Descendant of Light. But everyone gathered here today hasn't come simply because you're a Descendant of Light. Since they believe in you, they've fought with you this far, haven't they? Hain That's right, Elwin! *Jessica If you don't press on... If the Descendants of Light won't do it... If you, yourself, aren't up to the task... *Elwin That's right isn't it. Then from here on in we have no time to spare. Let's combine our strength and save the world! Prevent Alhazard's revival, save the world, and rescue Riana! Lester Hey! Oi, look over there! Land ho! Jessica We're getting closer and closer to Velzeria... Scott We're approaching the origin of the monsters... Keith The enemy probably won't hold back for much longer. From now on, we must remain alert. Elwin Everyone... I've finally spotted Velzeria! Don't let your guard down! Dying words: >> Elwin Fayas.... >> Hain I'm beaten.... >> Sherry It's no good.... >> Keith Dammit! They're too good.... >> Aaron Ugh... I feel sick... >> Jessica This can't be.... >> Lester Damn! I got whooped.... >> Scott Damn?! >> Scylla You shouldn't have done that to me... Kwah! >> Minotaurs Gwoh!! Gugah!! >> Wyverns GYSYAAAH! GYSYAAAH! >> Kraken GOOOH! >> Witch Bo....Bosel! He-he-he.... no matter how quick you are, you won't be able to stop the reawakening of Alhazard. I'm sure Bosel has planned quite a hideous death for such pests as yourselves. >> Fayas Powerful indeed.... But with that amount of skill opposing Bosel is reckless. A horrible death awaits you in Velzeria... Now Bosel can easily draw forth those with my level of power. Though you've beaten me, raising a sword to Bosel is the same as death. I will be waiting in hell! Fu ha ha ha....Gyhaaa! Elwin Doren.... I have defeated him. Please sleep peacefully.... Scenario 21 "Marionette" *Prologue: "The forbidden land Velzeria.... It had been around for hundreds of years. The Descendants of Light had defeated Bosel here before. The mountain ranged had surrounded the area. It was also said that the God of Chaos was in this accursed land. When Elwin found the bay and tried to land, the Dark Princess, being controlled by Bosel once again, stood in his way. X Win condition -Death of all enemies X Lose condition -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 Aaron Well, well... this is Velzeria? Scott Let's get on dry land... Larna Hmmmm... I figured you'd make it here. Witch Soon the ceremony to release Alhazard will begin. We can't let them get any further. Larna I know... Elwin So.... we really do have to fight. Sherry ....It's painful isn't it. Keith I know this is a little cold, but now isn't the time for mercy. Lester Yeah, you're right. *Jessica If we don't make it to the ritual in time, we won't be able to stop the revival of Alhazard. Larna Fu fu fu.... Try it if you think you can! >> Sherry attacks Let's go! >> Elwin attacked You think you can kill me here?! >> Player reaches shore Larna You would've thought I'd have defeated you so easily by now... I now see why Bosel was so scared of the Descendants of Light... But you won't pass any further! >> Succubus attacked How dare you raise a sword to the demon tribe! >> Succubus attacks Why don't you rest on my bosom! >> Living armor moves At last we can fight for real. >> Living armor attacked Fu ha ha... you fools! Rarrrrrghhh!! >> Witch moves So, you're seriously considering confronting me? How wonderful that the Descendants of Light made it all the way here. >> Witch attacked How foolish to try to confront Bosel. You'll now pay for your foolishness! Ha, you think we'll let you get out alive! >> Larna attacked Impressive! My, what maneuverability... As I would expect of the Descendants of Light. But I will finish you all! >> Turn 9 enemy phase Kraken GYUGOOOOH! Hain Arhgh! A Kraken! Elwin Don't panic! If you approach it with a clear head, you should defeat it. >> Turn 12 enemy phase OR Larna defeated Imperial General A message! For the Dark Princess! Eggbert says the ceremony preparations are complete. Please return as soon as possible! Larna I understand. The demon sword's revival is right before our eyes! At last the age of darkness shall be realized! Hain It seems the ceremony's about to start. Elwin We don't have much time. We must prevent the ritual from reviving the Alhazard! >> Imperial General moves Your strength seems to have caught the eye of Lord Eggbert. Because of that, I shall smite you and your allies with all my might! Come to know my power! >> *Imperial General attacks You won't interfere with the ceremony! Alhazard will make our dreams come true! >> Next turn Elwin If Riana's heading to the ceremony, then we really don't have much time... Sherry But where are they doing the ceremony? If we don't know we can't do anything. Jessica Nearby there is a temple called the Temple of Darkness. Elwin The Temple of Darkness.... Anyway, we must make haste and waylay the enemy. We can't let the revival of Alhazard commence under their hands! >> All enemies defeated, scenario clear Elwin This isn't good.... It seems the ceremony to unlock Alhazard has begun. Jessica Let's make haste. If the Alhazard gets awakened, it'll be all over for us. Sherry Finally we're going to the Temple of Darkness. *Aaron That means the Prince of Darkness, Bosel, is there. *Elwin .....Bosel. If we defeat him, then maybe we can break Riana's spell... Hain Ever since Riana left for the ceremony, our time has grown shorter and shorter. If we don't hurry to the temple, the ceremony'll start! Keith I too am worried about Miss Riana. Let us hurry! Elwin Alright! Everyone let's go to the Temple of Darkness! And defeat Bosel! (What, no 'save Riana' this time? Elwin, you broke the mantra.) Dying words: >> Elwin Kuh... and I had just made it to Velzeria... >> Hain Uwah! >> Sherry Kyah! The pain! >> Aaron Dang it! >> Keith Ngh...good job... >> Lester Damn you! >> Jessica Ah... >> Scott Uwah... >> Larna ...How can this be.... >> Living armor Guh! Uwooaahh!! >> Succubi Ugah!! Damn you... >> Witches Gwah! Gah! >> Kraken GOOOH! >> *Imperial General Guwaaa.... No matter how you hurry, you can't interfere with the ceremony.... You'll kneel before the might of Alhazard! Ack... I'm short of breath... *Scenario 22 "Alhazard's Revival" Prologue: "To prevent the dark sword Alhazard's release Elwin's party finally made it to the Temple of Darkness, where an astonishing sight awaited them. X Win condition -Death of all enemies X Lose condition -Death of Elwin -Death of Jessica" >> Turn 1 Keith: This is the Temple of Darkness... What an eerie place. Scott: Look at the altar! Hain: Ahhhhhh! There are two Rianas...? Sherry: Riana and the Dark Princess Larna!? Elwin: They are two different people?! Jessica: Perhaps the maiden of light and the maiden of darkness.... Aaron: The evil sword is sealed the maiden of light. Then the maiden of light can break the seal when the time comes to destroy Alhazard. Sherry: Then, what is the maiden of darkness for? Jessica: It's her duty to break the seal and infuse the sword with the power of darkness. Lester: If we screw this up the ceremony's gonna end. Elwin: That's right. Before the seal is broken, defeat Eggbert! Let's go everyone!! >> Turn 1 enemy phase Bosel: The nuisances have arrived.... We can't let them interfere with the ceremony. Until the the ceremony is over silence them! Eggbert: If you allow my Dark Dragon Priests to do their job, there's no need to concern yourself with the enemy. More importantly you can concentrate on the ceremony. Bosel: Heh, that should be fine. >> *Witch attacks You came here just to be killed on purpose, what fools. >> Witch attacked You won't get away! >> Certain point on map is crossed Elwin: Bosel! There's no where to run! Prepare yourself! Bosel: Hmph, too... late... Jessica: No! The seal! Bosel: Geh, *gasp*... ...th, this is.... our Sword of the Night...Alhazard... Elwin: No! Get the sword! Eggbert: Hnnn. Bozel seems to have turned this ritual into a violent mess. It appears I was right about this place... Bosel: What are you insinuating, Eggbert? Eggbert: Hmph, what a joke... >> Same turn, Enemy phase (Actual dialogue may vary slightly depending on whether you were able to kill the witches or Bernhart) Eggbert: Time is ebbing and flowing. You who controls the very fabric of space and time! Open the gates of eternity and grant my request! Alfeier Lete Keser Rie Egron! Bernhart: You did it, Eggbert! Eggbert: I beg your pardon for the trouble. *Elwin: What!? Bernhart!? Bosel: Hoh.... You're alive. Eggbert: Heh, heh, heh... We are very alive... Bernhart: Bosel. While you may have seen fit to use us in the past, now it is your turn to be used! Bosel: Heh! You accursed Imperials, to whom I've submitted myself, you're right on the money. While it was my plan all along to betray you, I thought it would be fun to stick around for a while first. However, have you forgotten that I'm about to release the power of the Alhazard? You will most surely fall to my hand! Bernhart: Stupid fool, we've counted on the ritual leaving you weary. *Eggbert: His Majesty's persistent! On top of that, there's no reason we need assistance from your reprehensible monsters any longer. We don't need you alive any more. Kill them all! Imperial General: Yes, Sir! Bosel: How DARE you mock me! My servants, teach these rude people a lesson! Witch We, the forces of darkness, will be the perfect instructors. >> Bernhart moves Bernhart: Hey Bosel, Give me Alhazard! Bosel: Nonsense! Over my dead body! Bernhart: Hmmmph.... A little overconfident in our strength aren't we? >> Bernhart attacks Bernhart: If you care about your lives at all, give up and give me the sword! Bosel: In that case you'll have to defeat me right? But even if you do, can you use this sword? Ha ha ha... Eggbert: It's too bad isn't it. His majesty has already made a pact with the God that rules Darkness. In other words he posseses the right to use Alhazard. Bernhart: You've lost, Bosel! >> Bosel killed *Bosel: It looks like my exhausted body couldn't.... Oh well..... I'll lend you that sword. Do with it your heart's content. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha..... Larna: Lord Bosel! Ugghhhh!! Bernhart: Hmm.... This is Alhazard.... At last it is mine! Hain: Strong! Elwin: ..Can we win? *Jessica: ... everyone! I'm going to send Bernhart to a parallel dimension. Since I need to get close to him, I need your protection! Aaron: Will you be okay doing that! Don't put yourself in any danger! Jessica: There's no other way. Right now, we can't beat Bernhart and Alhazard. Lester: Jessica..... Jessica: Please. Protect me! Keith: Apparently we have no other way to win, eh... Elwin: Got it. All right let's do it! >> Next turn Hain: What going on!? The enemy soldiers are fighting amongst themselves!! Jessica: Eggbert let himself be used by Bosel, so he could take advantage of him. And once Alhazard was revived, he sent for Bernhart.... After the ceremony the exhausted Bosel couldn't handle Bernhart's fierce attack, and Alhazard is now Bernhart's. He made every calculation, what an impressive plan... Bernhart: You're my next victim! You won't escape me! Elwin: A fearsome enemy has taken Alhazard.... But I won't lose! If we falter now the world will be covered in darkness! Eggbert: In just a little bit, Alhazard shall be revived. Why don't you watch closely, Jessica? Jessica: You know how dangerous unleashing the power of darkness is.... You, who was afraid of the Darkness, why have you joined sides with them? Eggbert: Heh heh heh... What sentimental rubbish. To achieve my purpose I will utilize what I consider to be the best plan. >> Next turn enemy phase Eggbert: Ahhhh... This is going just as I planned. Jessica: Why do you mimic Bosel... Despite the fact that Bosel is defeated, using the power of darkness is too dangerous! Haven't you realised that by consuming yourself with the power of darkness you'll follow the same path as Bosel?! Bernhart: Pathetic! I'm the only one with the power to handle Alhazard. I am the true owner of Alhazard! >> Imperial General attacked I'll prevail! You think you can challenge me? Funny. Take this! >> Imperial General attacks Dieee! >> Elwin moves to top right corner of platform (below torch) Elwin: What the? What is this switch?? Flip the switch? Elwin: ....? I thought I heard a sound in the distance just now. >> Elwin brought to top left part of map after pressing switch (need to meteor or earthquake a pillar in order to reach it) Elwin: There's something written on the wall. "This connects to a dragon's lair. This entrance has been sealed to prevent foolish people from wandering in, as no one has ever returned alive." Elwin: It seems that the switch over there opened up the lair of the dragon. I think I hear what appears to be a dragon's roar from within. Anyway, I'll check it out after the battle. Right now I have other things to concentrate on! >> Eggbert attacks Now your lives come to an end... >> Bernhart defeated or Jessica moved within two spaces of him Bernhart N, no! *Jessica: I'm now ready to teleport Bernhart! Jessica: You who controls the fabric of space and time! Open the gates of eternity and grant my request! Irud Lete Keser La Door! Eggbert: So, this is the power of the Alhazard? It looks as if Lady Jessica's magic is incomplete. I wonder if Velzeria castle's the right place for this? Sherry: ...?? What on earth is going on? Soldier: W, what's going on? *Lester: Jessica's used her magic to seal Bernhart in an alternate universe... *Elwin: Jessica used her magic to seal Bernhart away in a parallel dimension.. Hain: She used the power of her own body to increase the strength of the spell. Keith: So that's what it was... So, he's defeated? Elwin: ...No, I don't think so. Just before Jessica finished casting her spell, I saw a light glow forth from the Alhazard. The two then vanished into that light. Aaron: Eggbert said something about Velzeria castle... Hain: There's a high probability that Jessica's been transported there. Elwin: Because of Eggbert, they're now in Velzeria castle? Riana: Uuuhhh.. Elwin: Huh!? Riana! Riana: Aah... Elwin! Elwin: I'm so glad you're safe! Sherry: The girl over here seems fine, too! Larna: ...W, Wha.... Keith: It looks like Bosel's spell has been lifted. Riana: Sister! Big Sister Larna! Larna: Riana? Is that really Riana? Riana: Sister, I thought I would never see you again.... Scott: I never would've thought Riana had a twin sister. Larna: Speaking of which why am I here? Lester: You were being controlled by Bosel. Larna: By... Bosel.... That's right, when I was little I was kidnapped by the Prince of Darkness, Bosel, and separated from Riana.... Ahhh, then Alhazard...!!! Elwin: Bernhart has taken Alhazard. But now we don't know where he's going. Larna: No problem. By sensing the waves from Alhazard I can find where he is. ......, It appears that Bernhart is in Velzeria Castle. I can feel a strong wave of evil from there.... Riana: I've heard that beneath Velzeria Castle the God of Chaos sleeps. It's no mystery why Alhazard was brought there. Elwin: In that case, let's hurry to Velzeria! Elwin: Bernhart took Alhazard. If we don't hurry and follow him... Larna: Nope. First and foremost we must break Langrisser's seal. The only thing that can defeat the Evil Sword Alhazard is the Holy Sword Langrisser. Langrisser's true power still rests. *Aaron: What? You mean its can get stronger? Hain: WOW...... Riana: We'll need the Holy Rod in the ruins of Elrad to break the seal. Larna: Please allow me to help. While I was controlled I hurt so many innocent people.... At least let me do this much. Lester: We'll let her join, won't we Elwin! That way she can make up for what she did when she was being controlled! Larna: I'm so sorry. Elwin: But what shall we do about the dragon's cave? Larna: Listen before you sneak into the dragon's lair. Unless you feel you're a true hero, you shouldn't attempt entering. Do you venture forth into the dragon's lair? Elwin: Sounds fun! Let's get a move on, folks! (If no, or if cave wasn't found) Elwin: Of course you can! Anyway, first we must obtain the Holy Rod. Then we'll rescue Jessica! Dying words: >> Elwin Damn.... This is it.... >> Hain Uwwwwaaaa! >> Sherry Owwwww...... >> Aaron Damn! >> Keith Dammit! I was unprepared... >> Lester Arrrgh! I goofed up.... >> Jessica Ahhh.... The sky..is..blue.... >> Scott No..! I'm dead.... >> Imperial Generals Ghhaa! How could I lose... Kyaahhhh! >> Witches Guooohh! Gufuu! >> Iron Golems GU.... GU.... >> Eggbert Quite an impressive feat.... But such a scratch cannot kill me. We'll meet again. >> Bernhart Wha, How could this happen!? I was foolish..... But I won't die by such a scratch. >> Larna Uwaaa...... Scenario ?3 "Magic Dragon's Lair" Prologue: "In the temple, Elwin's party continued to progress deeper into a dragon's lair, and passed through a dangerous passageway. They opened the passage and entered the cave to find that it was actually a Great Dragon's Lair. Inside was one person, a young female witch who lived there.... Who was she? For what purpose did she live there? Everything was unusual about this strange young girl. X Win condition -Death of all enemies X Lose condition -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 Elwin What is this? This cave is? Sherry Look! There's somebody in the back. Aaron Wha? It looks like a girl.... Hain A girl? Alriiight, now it's my turn! Hey cutie! What are you doing in this place? Witch ......

We are in serious danger!!! >> First time Witch attacked by character ...... (Character's name), love, that hurt! >> All enemies defeated, scenario clear *Sherry It's ooooverrrr. Elwin But, why were we in such a place? Hain Yeah, yeah! Who the hell made this scenario?! *Aaron Well... some asshole, he's probably saying something like "You'll never beat this scenario! Think you can?! Then try it! Hahahaha!!". Anyway this is a secret scenario, so that's why it seems so strange... Riana I can't believe some people would do an awful thing like this... Scott Yeh... They must not understand what we're going through here! *Larna Definitely!!! I'm, like, really tired. I just wanna FINISH this scenario!! Elwin Agreed... Let's go... Dying words: >> Elwin Shit! How could I die here.... >> Hain Uwwwwa! >> Sherry Ewww! >> Aaron Damn, this is too hard on an old man like me... >> Keith Damn.... >> Lester Shit! I was too careless... >> Scott I'm still not ready.... >> Riana Uuuu, no.... >> Larna I'm sorry everyone... >> Witch Ehh, that hurt. You're so mean..... gaku.... >> Great Dragons ...... Roarrgh! Garrrrh! ....! GYAAAAA! Gragh! Guooo! Errragh! Scenario 23 "The Light Rod" *Prologue: "Finally Alhazard's seal was broken. But Bernhart, who everyone thought dead, had appeared, and had taken Alhazard from Bosel. Moreover, to accomplish his mission of continental unification, Bernhart planned to awaken the dark power of Alhazard which would cover the world in darkness and give Bernhart immense powers. Due to Jessica's sacrifice, they flew to Velzeria. Both Riana and Larna had their spells broken, and Larna told Elwin that Langrisser's power was not yet complete. Now, to release Langrisser's full power, Elwin's party had gone to Elrad where the Holy Rod was said to exist, which had the ability to awaken the full power of Langrisser. X Win condition -The person with the light rod reaches the top of map -Death of all enemies X Lose condition -If the light rod is lost -Death of Elwin >> Turn 1 Laird This temple.... Inside here upon the altar lies the Holy Rod. Imperial General We'll have to split up and check each compartment individually. Laird This will take up much time.... Somebody is coming! The enemy?! Larna This is the place. Somewhere in these ruins is the Holy Rod. Lester Hey, can you use magic to see where it is? Hain Maaaaybe.... Elwin Wait! The Blue Dragon Knights are here! Scott Leon isn't leading them, it looks like the sub-leader Laird! Laird It's Elwin's group? Hurry, we must find it before they do! Riana They seem to be going after the rod too. Let us hurry! Elwin Alright! Let's get it immediately! >> Turn 1 enemy phase Laird Aerial troops follow me! Hold back the enemy! The other troops check each and every room! No matter what we must obtain the Holy Rod before they do! Imperial General Yes! Let's go and crush the enemy! >> Laird moves Leon has entrusted me with carrying out this mission.... I won't allow failure. We will take that Rod! >> Laird attacks Let's go! >> Laird attacked Heh....not bad! >> Imperial General attacks Give up! >> Room searched, Holy Rod not found It's not here! >> Room searched, Holy Rod found It's in here! >> Holy Rod taken (Imperial) *Laird Alright, let's hurry and escape! Everyone else back me up! Elwin Damn! They got ahead of us.... We can't let them get away! We must take the Holy Rod back! >> Holy Rod taken (Player) I have the Holy Rod! Elwin Alright, let's go outside! Character Yes! >> Imperial General with rod reaches top of map, game over Laird You can't follow us any further. Now we have nothing to fear from Langrisser. Elwin Damn if we just had a little more time.... >> Character with rod reaches bottom of map, scenario clear Laird Dammit! I've failed again.... Shit..... Retreat! >> All enemies defeated, scenario clear Elwin It's finally over.... Riana Well now let's take the Holy Rod. Soldier Found it! This is the Holy Rod! (Scenario clear) Hain We did it! Now we can confront Alhazard! Larna ...... Riana Big Sister..... Sherry Fighting with Leon is quite painful.... Larna No...it's ok. I have to seal Alhazard. Even if it means this.... Sherry ....We need to end this war quickly, so we can all look upon each other as friends instead of enemies. Larna ...Yes that's right. But first we must break Langrisser's seal. Elwin At last, we can break Langrisser's seal, right.... Riana Let's hurry and break the seal, sister! Larna Yeah! Dying words: >> Elwin Damn.... this is it...... >> Hain I'm beaten.... >> Sherry OUCH! Why did you do that? >> Aaron Keh! With such a wound, I'll... >> Keith Can't stay awake... >> Lester Damn it! You're tough! >> Riana Ah! Oh, no... >> Larna To be defeated here... >> Scott Waugh! >> Imperial Generals *It looks like the time to meet all my buddies has come.... Ugghh! Guuuuu.... Ugghh..... Kyaaahhhh.... Impossible.... I'm sorry... It's over for me... Kyahhhh! Ah... I'm... losing.... strength.... So strong.... Gufuu..... >> Laird Why!? Why can't I surpass you?! Scenario 24 "Light and Dark" *Prologue: "After a long and intense battle with Laird, finally Elwin's party obtained the Holy Rod. The maiden of light, Riana, and Larna at last began the ceremony to release Langrisser's seal. Now, the legendary sword's power had been released. However, Bernhart had been waiting for this moment, and waged an attack. X Win condition -Death of all enemies X Lose condition -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 Larna Release the seal of light sleeping inside of me.... Riana Endow the sword with the power of light sleeping inside of me.... Larna Over the Holy Rod with light... Riana Now, let the sword regain that power! Keith ....What a magnificent light. *Sherry The hidden power of Langrisser has been released. Bernhart Congratulations, Ladies and Gentlemen. Scott Bernhart! Bernhart I have a splendid gift for you. If you can defeat them, you can come to Velzeria Castle. When that happens I will defeat you! Hain Ehhh?! That was an illusion. Lester This isn't looking too good! Elwin Let's show them the power of Langrisser! >> Turn 1 enemy phase Vampire Lord It looks like Bernhart has somehow overestimated them. With our power, we can slaughter anything. Very well. Take care of them at once! >> Vampire Lord attacks It's over! Now we'll finish you! >> Witches attack Feel the power of the race of darkness! I will give you a painful wretching death... And you'll entertain me.... We'll see what kind of people you are.... >> Demon Lord attacks GUOOOOOOOO! >> Turn 5, Vampire Lord moves I've heard rumors that the Descendants of Light command an enormous power.... We'll have to fight seriously now. >> All enemies defeated, scenario clear Keith We finally did it. But this is just one taste of Alhazard's power.... Hain I can't believe they can summon all this...... It's good that we beat them but if we take more attacks like that it's gonna get worse! Aaron Obviously a fearsome power. *Larna Alhazard is the source of all darkness. The existing demons in this world all exist due to the work of that sword. Can you see it? The twisted dark sky of Velzeria.... (How did humans come into the world, then? Did Alhazard and Langrisser decide to be friends and cooperate for a day? ) Riana The one and only thing that can hold it back is Langrisser. For that it can grant unlimited power. Unless we use Langrisser properly, we cannot banish Alhazard. Elwin You mean people have used it incorrectly? Sherry They were indulged with desire... what foolishness... Lester They must've realized that, but probably thought it was worth it. Larna The final battle of light and dark is soon upon us. Riana We must put an end to this twisted world. Elwin Alright let's go! To return this world to peace again! Dying words: >> Elwin What!? I'm dead.... >> Hain Ugeee! >> Scott Damn.... I can't win.... >> Sherry Terrible! It doesn't hurt! >> Aaron I can't. I'm beaten..... >> Keith What skill... >> Lester Ahhh Shit! I got my ass kicked! >> Riana I'm sorry. I'll retreat.... >> Larna ....It's too much to go any further.... I'm sorry.... >> *Vampire Lord Guha! Humans must be stronger than I thought if they can injure me... Looks like I have to retreat..... Witch Impossible! How could the Vampire Lord be beaten... >> Witches *Damn.... this is what the power of the descendants of light is.... Well done! Your future awaits a horrible death, I'll cast a spell on you! Why..... Guaaaaaa! >> Demon Lords GAHA! Gugigigi...... GUGA! >> Cerberus GU.... Scenario 25 "The continent's strongest knight" *Prologue: "The source of all evil, the cursed Velzeria castle... Within the castle's deepest halls, Emperor Bernhart, who wielded Alhazard, awaited. But first before him, the Blue Dragon Knight Leon and Eggbert stood before Elwin. Moreover, Eggbert was holding Jessica captive. Neither side could surrender, and an intense battle began. X Win condition -Death of all enemies X Lose condition -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 Eggbert: At last you finally made it here. Elwin: Eggbert! Eggbert: I have something very interesting to show you. Riana: Jessica! Eggbert: She tried sending His Majesty to the other world, foolish sorceress. She underestimated the power of Alhazard. Leon: Wait Eggbert. I have no intentions of using hostages in this operation. This fight is between me and Elwin! No matter what you say, interference is a waste. Don't get in my way! Eggbert: Ha ha.... How soft of you Leon. But this is a good place for you. Luckily I'll release this woman. Now you'll have nothing to regret. Eggbert: Then I'll prepare the welcoming reception. I hope this isn't going to be a waste of my time... Jessica: Eggbert.... Leon: Elwin! Now we can fight it out with all our might! Elwin: Leon! Why are you fighting like this! To release Alhazard's power Bernhart has unleased a huge disaster upon the world! (I'm somewhat unclear on what said disaster is.) Larna: Please Leon! Stop this futile battle! Leon: To unify this world of wars, you need power to acheive peace! Even if that power is the power of evil! Imperial General: Sir Leon!!! The troops are ready! We can attack at will! Leon: Elwin! At last the final battle has come! I'll show no mercy! Elwin: Idiot...... Well it can't be helped, can it..... Everyone, let's go! >> Turn 1 enemy phase Leon: Elwin! Elwin: ...... Leon: .....No, I have nothing to say.... Larna: ....Leon..... Leon: Glory to the Empire and the Blue Dragon Knights!! Everyone Attack!! >> Laird moves Attack! Don't let them near His Majesty! >> Laird attacks Prepare yourself! >> Laird attacked You have all fought well... However, that stops here! Even if it kills me I will defeat you! >> Elwin attacks Leon Elwin: You still haven't noticed the mistakes you're making! Leon: I was born to the glorious Empire, raised in the Empire.... And became head of the proud Blue Dragon Knights! I can never run away from the path I've chosen! Leon: Hmphhh... Your skill has improved Elwin. But you won't get through me! >> Leon attacks Elwin Elwin! It's over! >> Imperial General attacks I can't believe they've even made it this far...! >> Imperial General attacked Attack!! >> Turn 2 Larna: Stop Leon! Why? Why must you fight us? If we join hands we can end these wars. Leon: Of course if we fight together we can end these wars..... But some day people will continue to fight. Even if we end this war, people will continue making the same mistakes throughout the ages... Because of that, to end this age of wars we must form an ideal unified nation with power. And I swore, together with the Emperor, that his dream of the continent's conquest shall become a reality! Only the Emperor can do that. And that is the shortcut to making a world without wars! To acheive that, Elwin's existence is in the way! Larna: Why... Why must you fight like this? Leon: I don't want to wash blood with more blood. The Empire? Elwin? Who has the power to bring about peace.... Elwin: ...... Leon: Well then, let's go, Elwin! Mercy is useless. Come fight at full power! >> Turn 2 enemy phase Leon: If we lose here there is no tommorow. Fight with all your might! Among the Blue Dragon Knights, you are the most elite squadron. Fight a proud battle that will bring honour to the Blue Dragon Knights! >> Turn 3 enemy phase Leon: Even if I must sacrifice my life, I will defeat you! Let's go Elwin! >> Larna attacks Leon Larna: Leon.... We can't stop you anymore? Leon: ...... You know how I feel. I can't betray the Empire..... No, his Majesty, Bernhart. Till the end I want to fight with his Majesty. Larna: Leon! There's no one who's despises fighting and ward more than you do. Why do you continue this fight? Leon: War only creates sorrow. However, a fight does not finish until there is a victor! It is necesssary that we unify the continent! And I will stand for that! Therefore we must finish this fight!!! >> All enemies but Leon defeated Leon: The glorious Blue Dragon Knights have led down to just me.... Elwin: Give up Leon. You've already lost! *Leon: Ha! You think a man like yourself can defeat my platoon? Elwin: ...... Leon: I am the leader of the Blue Dragon Knights! I never retreat, and I always win!!! Larna: Please Leon! Stop it! I don't want to fight anymore with you! Leon: Larna...... I love........ No I have no right to say that.... I will fight to the end! For the men who have died! Larna: Leon! Leon: This is the end! Let's go Elwin! >> All enemies defeated, scenario clear Elwin: Leon... Hain: That fool... Sherry: He was stubborn but.... Leon...... Larna: Even when I was under Bosel's spell controlled as the Dark Princess, he treated me like a regular woman. There's was no one warmer than him, and his heart desired peace.... Riana: Elwin... I can feel a wave of evil... very nearby. Larna: Alhazard is in the castle's basement. Perhaps it's an underground temple. Elwin: Let's advance. Let's finish this immediately. Dying words: >> Elwin (Leon alive) Damn! Leon: Have we won.... It was a painful battle. >> Elwin (Leon defeated) This is the end.... >> Hain I'm done with... >> Sherry OOOWWWWWW! >> Aaron Dammit.... >> Keith Damn! So careless.... >> Lester Jeez! I'm beat.... >> Riana Kyaaaa! >> Larna Leon.... Leon ..Sorry, Larna.... >> Jessica Ahhhh..... >> Scott Ughhh..... This is no good at all... >> Laird (Leon still alive) Leon... Once again, I have failed you... Leon: Laird! I won't let you die! You didn't come here to fight just to die! Don't die Laird! Laird: ..... I'm sorry........ Please... with his Majesty...... Acheive his dream..... of unifying...... the continent.... Leon: I won't let you go to hell before me! Open you eyes Laird! Please open your eyes! Leon: ....Again, I've lost my only friend..... We must finish this age quickly. Us? Or Elwin? One of us can do it. This is the best condolence for all those who have given their lives for the Empire.... Larna: Leon.... >> Laird (Leon defeated) General Leon.... It looks like this the end for me.... Please... with His Majesty...... Acheive his dream..... of unifying...... the continent.... dead] Leon: You can't....pass...through.... Ughh. >> Leon Damnit! Better than I expected.... Laird or Imperial Soldier: Leon! Please fall back! Leon: Even in the face of death I won't retreat! Laird or Imperial Soldier We can't allow that! If General Leon is killed, who will protect the Empire of tommorow! Imperial General: That's right! This is our duty! Leon: You...all of you... Laird: No matter what we will waste some time. In that time please reorganize! Leon: ....... Got it. Please..... Laird: Please go well..... Take care of the Empire. Leon: Don't die..... Laird: I won't! >> Imperial Generals Argh...! Ughhh! Uuuu.... Leon, please..... for...gi... ve...me... General Leon! I can't die....yet... Guhaaa! Uoooooo! This is it..... Leon... I'm sorry... Scenario 26 "The Black Dragon Sorcerer's Trap" *Prologue: "Elwin defeated his destined rival Leon, and invaded Velzeria Castle, and while rushing towards the underground temple fell into a secret passageway. There lay the leader of the Black Dragon Sorcerers, Eggbert, who waited to encircle the party. Surrounded by enemies on all sides, Elwin's party began taking massive magical attacks from the Black Dragon Sorcerers. X Win condition -Death of Mage Eggbert X Lose condition -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 *Eggbert: ...You finally came.... Jessica... I am reluctant to fight my former teacher but at least I can give you a suiting death. Elwin: Eggbert? Eggbert: This is the first time we've fought firsthand.... Lester: I'll send you where I sent your friends. Eggbert: My... What a mighty proclamation. But can you break through this Magician's camp? >> Turn 1 enemy phase *Eggbert: This is the hall to repel the invaders. Jessica, I'm impressed. Your group was even able to pass Leon. But you will not defeat me, the leader of the Black Dragon Sorcerers!!! >> Imperial Generals attack You can't get away from me! You must've come here to die on purpose! Gotcha! >> Imperial Generals attacked *Do not let them get to me! *I cannot let the descendants of light win... *Eggbert: !? Tenacious little insects! His Majesty, Emperor Bernhart won't let a single of you pass! >> Turn 5 enemy phse *Eggbert: If you are to defeat me here, you will only be able to do it with Langrisser. But even so you will not be able to defeat the Empire with its newfound power! Jessica: You know better than anyone else in the empire how dangerous the power of darkness is. When then, in spite of that danger, are you trying to use the power of darkness?! Eggbert: We must end this dark age. Also we should seal the chaos with Langrisser. But tell me, if you used the power of darkness, would it make you any different a person? As long as you yourself have the strength, the power can be controlled and surely power is power no matter whether it is the power of evil or not. *Jessica: But even if you can do that, the power of darkness ruins people's souls. You'll become the next Bosel, the power of evil! Eggbert: That's the case for the weak. But as for me... We don't know if that unless we try. Jessica: I simply won't allow such dangerous actions! >> All but Eggbert and his bodyguard defeated Jessica: Please give up Eggbert! You studied magic to battle against the forces of evil.... Please one more time, study magic with us! *Eggbert: Naturally I knew of the existence of evil and thinking of destroying it, I become your apprentice. But when you used Rebirth, Bosel was trying to acheive his ressurection.... I thought I could depend on the descendants of light to defeat Bosel. But at the time, they didn't posess the power to confront Bosel.... Around that time I encoutered his young Majesty.... And I thought His Highness could it, therefore I lend him a hand in acheiving his nation. Lester: So that's why you left me and Jessica.... *Eggbert: That is why. Because of that, together with His Majesty we used Bosel and took Alhazard. With a massive power unifying the contient is possible. Before a powerful military nation's reign, even wars will die out. And before a military kingdom, destroying the forces of evil is child's play.... For that I wanted dangerously massive power...... Jessica: With that power you could do that. But....You would lose your soul in the process. Eggbert: I did not choose this path on purpose. It is the only means to the end. Imperial General: I will protect Eggbert till the very end! >> Jessica attacks Eggbert *Jessica: Your ideas are heavily flawed!! Eggbert: That's one perspective.... But there are an infinite number of ways to get to a place in life.... Isn't that so? >> Eggbert attacked Ku ku ku.... What a reckless bunch.... >> *Eggbert attacks Jessica I'm sorry Jessica... But you came to this place to fight! Now this one thing is left! Prepare yourself! >> *Eggbert defeated, scenario clear My dear teacher.... The descendants of light you believe in are unmistakably strong.... I think....I think they can change the world...... ....Thanks to them I can peacefully go......to hell...... If I....was....given a...second... chance....I would, with my teacher.... one...more....time.... (If certain conditions are met. See beginning of scenario ?4 for details) Eggbert: Still... I guess you're not defeated yet... Hain: We may defeat you! Fight with everything you've got, people! Eggbert: Wait. I have a proposition for you... A challange. It is only for the strong and strong willed. Will you accept Eggbert's challenge? (Yes) Elwin: Got it! I'll accept your challenge Eggbert: Mya ha ha... How foolish.... The fight is in Death Tower. The tower I made, the tower of our stregthened magic. You might not make it out alive. Just in case, make another save spot. (No) Elwin: I have no plans for a pointless battle. Eggbert: Is that so? That is a pity indeed... (Scenario clear) Jessica: Eggbert.... Lester: Eggbert.... Why didn't you wait? *Jessica: Eggbert needed tremendous power to fight Bosel. But... he needed it urgently..... ...Therefore, he extended himself to forbidden black magic. As a result he could acquire an immense magic power...... But in exchange for his soul.... His flesh was decayed from the influence of evil. Therefore with the little time left of his life he risked his life for the only man he approved of.....Bernhart. Lester: Yeh... He seemed almost crazy... *Larna: Such a thing is even greater proof that we must, now or never, defeat Bosel and Emporer Bernhart! (Actually, I think that if Elwin and his crew were defeated it would not be as bad as they think it would. Granted, it would still be bad, but the Empire is run by strong, able people who are really not entirely evil. It could be a lot worse. Then again, since most of those strong, able people are dead by now, maybe it would be.) Riana: To end the history of evil... Elwin: That's right. This is our final battle! No matter what we will win! Elwin: Let's finish it! Let's end this history of darkness! >> Character defeated *Eggbert: It seems to fall away and not be troubled... May it fall into an everlasting rest... Dying words: >> Elwin What?! Impossible... Eggbert: You fought well. But this is the end for you. To defy our Empire is truly reckless.... Elwin Damn! This is it.... >> Hain Dammit! I'm beat.... >> Sherry So terrible...! What is this?!? >> Aaron Ugh... I just can't take it anymore >> Keith This is it..... >> Lester Shithead! >> Riana Ahhhh..... Elwin...... Elwin: Don't push yourself! Retreat! >> Riana Um, Ok.... >> *Larna This can't be..... >> Jessica Ahhhh!? >> Scott How could this happen now.... >> Imperial Generals Gyhaa! Eggbert..... Uggggghhh! Does this mean I'm dead.... Just a little.... Regrettable... Eggbert, please...run..... away.... Gefuuu! Ugghhhh! Impossible.... Scenario ?4 "The Death Tower" *Prologue: "Elwin accepted Eggbert's challenge and entered the Death Tower. There Bernhart began the assault of many powerful enemies. The situation was also worsened by Eggbert's powerful magic and the power of Alhazard, and it seemed that the enemies were more powerful than usual. Though many familiar faces were fighting, they had newfound strength. Moreover, Elwin's friends were captured on each floor, and even if Elwin was to use stage select, this battle appeared to be a disadvantagous battle situation. With only Hain by his side, whether or not he could these powerful enemies, and capture each floor of the impressive Death Tower all fell to Elwin's strategy. X Win condition -Death of all enemies X Lose condition -Death of Elwin" (The path to reach this scenario without using level skip is long and convoluted, and I'm not entirely sure of how it goes. Here are the possibilities: 1:You reach it by having all characters at level 10 at the end of scenario 26. This is what Vermillion suggested to me, though I've since heard it's a fairly common rumor, and he says he has the save state to back it up. I have no reason to not believe him, but this can't be the only condition since I tried doing this myself and it didn't work. 2:You reach it without ever using the level skip to go back and get extra experience. This might have something to do with what Eggbert says at the start of the scenario, "You came here without running away..." i.e. you came without going back to get extra experience. Again, this is a possibility, but it can't be the only one because I have also tried this. It is possible to get a near-infinite amount of experience in any scenario using the Masayan Sword, the heal1 spell, and one enemy kept somewhere between 1 and 9 HP through the use of magic arrow spells. Just keep sending troops in suicide runs and you're guaranteed to catch 4x2 units' worth of healing every other turn. 3:You reach it without ever having a character fall in battle. This is is possible since these are considered 'retreats,' and thus fit with the whole not running away thing. I don't remember whether or not the time I tried this I was able to keep all of my characters from dying, so I guess it's a possibility. 4:Keep all characters and allied NPCs from dying. Same thing as above. 5:Complete all scenarios within a certain number of turns. At the end of the game, it shows how long you took on each scenario. If this is one of the conditions, it would explain why I was unable to reach this scenario... I dragged scenarios into 40+ turns to do the Masayan Sword/Healing thing. 6:It's just plain impossible to reach this scenario by normal means. It was a last-minute thing that Masaya decided to drop for some unknown reason. This is supported by the fact that this scenario is extremely buggy - the enemies will attack your imprisoned characters, and some of Bosel's demon lords will turn and attack Bernhart. Still, I really hope that this last (likely) explanation is not the case. It takes away from the grandeur of it all... or something =P. Whew! Good luck getting here. Luck is nearly useless in the tower itself, so I hope you're prepared.) Eggbert: Ku Ku Ku..... You came here without running away..... In accordance to the law of Death Tower, we have taken your friends hostage. Hain: What are we gonna do Elwin? It's just you and me Bernhart: If you beat us your friends will increase. *Elwin: All right, Let's go Hain! >> Laird attacks You won't pass another step! >> All enemies defeated, scenario clear Elwin: Haaa.... Finally over.... *Scott: All of the Empire's Generals... In one scenario... Lester: Come on... let's go now... Elwin: Alright! At last the final battle! Dying words: >> Elwin Damn... This is it.... >> Hain Eeoowch!!! I'm done for...! >> Sherry Owwwww! >> Aaron Damn.... >> Keith I'm sorry... >> Lester Uuuh... They got me... >> Riana I'm sorry..... >> Larna I'm sorry... I'll retreat.... >> Jessica This is..... >> Vargas Eliza.... Sherry: Elwin! Thanks for saving me! Hain: Hey.... What about me.... Sherry: Ahhh, thank you too, Hain... Hain: Geez, why do I SUCK so much in this game?! >> Imelda ....How could beautiful me lose to such.... Aaron: It's about time you saved me... Keith: We can almost reach the final floor! C'mon!!! >> Leon Impossible, how could I lose.... Lester: YEAH! Thanks a lot everyone! >> Laird Leon.... Forgive me...... >> Eggbert Damn... I've been beaten a 2nd time.... >> Demon Lord Gegegege...... Guha! Guoooooo! >> Bozel Fu fu... We'll meet again! Riana: Thank you, Elwin! Elwin: Riana.... I was worried.... Are you ok? Riana: Yeah..... Lana: ...The only one left is Bernhart. Let's hurry! Riana: Yes, big sister! >> Bernhart Hmmm, quite impressive.... Scenario 27 "The end of the legend" *Prologue: "Elwin and the party finally made it to their final battle with Bernhart. In the deepest halls of Velzeria Castle, Bernhart had awaited them. The Temple of Darkness eerily silent. At the altar stood Bernhart, with Alhazard. With the destructive power within Alhazard, Bernhart's eyes were filled with confidence and fighting spirit. X Win condition -Death of Bernhart X Lose condition -Death of Elwin" >> Turn 1 Bernhart You finally made it. As I would expect of Langrisser. Larna That's not the reason! Riana Since we believed in our fight we made it here! We simply borrowed Langrisser's strength... Sherry Yes! That's the power of light! Elwin A man of your stature hasn't noticed that, Bernhart! *Bernhart Silence! With power I have achieved every victory. If there is mighty strength, with that you can gather people. Money. People without that are nothing. Yes it's that kind of world! I have those means, and I have Alhazard too! Aaron You are just an egotistical fool, Bernhart! Bernhart Fuhahaha... You losers... This victory is already mine, and it is even more certain if I take Langrisser away from you... Rise, servants of evil! Elwin I swear upon the sword of light we won't lose! >> Turn 1 enemy phase Bernhart With strength to unify the continent is the only reliable way to bring peace! If that power is weak, no money, no people, just betrayal... A single, mighty powerful ruler is what this world needs! >> Enemy phase after Bernhart has been attacked or all but Bernhart defeated Leon W, Wait! You won't lay a finger on his Majesty! Elwin Leon...! Bernhart Don't press yourself Leon. Don't waste your life. Leon No! I am the Rayguard's Imperial Army's Blue Dragon's Corps Captain! Let me do my duty till the end! Bernhart ....What devotion. Leon Yessir! >> Leon moves Let's go Elwin! *Elwin Leon, stop it! It's pointless to sacrifice yourself for the Empire! Leon If you're a man of honour, you can't change your decisions so easily! And I'm not sacrificing myself for the Empire! I'm risking everything for the Emperor! Larna Please stop it! It's impossible to continue! Leon I can understand if I seem unreasonable! But I will continue to fight. I promised to fight for your Majesty until this body did not move. I keep an oath of a knight and must fight until the end. >> Leon attacked Kuuu... *Elwin Leon! You still want to fight! Don't you know any more fighting is a waste! Leon I already told you! I will fight to the end! >> Larna attacks Leon Leon... If you must fight no matter what, then I will have to defeat you.... Leon It pains me greatly also, and that is the fate of the battlefield. There is no greater reason than this for the unification of the continent, hence the need for that sword! >> Various characters attack Bernhart Elwin It's over! Your ambition is finished! Bernhart Funny. Try and stop me! Hain I'm gonna kick your butt! Scott Let's go! Let's finish this war! Riana We can't let Alhazard awaken..... We must seal Alhazard again! Bernhart In that case you must defeat me! Sherry Your troops are no match for mine! Prepare to die! Aaron You may be strong, but you will fall by my hand! Keith This is it! The Empire's history ends here. Bernhart I wouldn't be so sure about that. You really think you can beat me Lester You wimps! I'm gonna kick your ass so hard, you'll be choking on it!! Jessica This is the final battle between light and dark... We shall prevail soon! >> Bernhart defeated, scenario (and game) clear Impressive. As I would expect of Langrisser... Elwin That's wrong! What defeated you was combining everyone's power! *Bernhart That is the power of Langrisser. People's hearts are weak. Jealosy, distrust, resentment and betrayal..... Such feelings cause petty conflicts. People who don't even believe in themselves believe in others.... There's no way to stop people from causing wars. From when I was a young soldier I found it disgusting. And I thought...... Somebody, if somebody could rule this world.... If there was an absolute ruler wars could be eliminated. Therefore power... the power to rule all was what I wanted. Elwin .... Bernhart But, the way I took power to rule wasn't true peace. In the end, the weak people who didn't believe in others were all around me... Elwin Emperor. Wars are now over. From now on for the sake of the continent's people.... Bernhart Though I am defeated, I am the proud King of Rayguard! I won't die by your sword! And I'd rather die than submit myself to your mercy! Alhazard! Give me your final strength! Jessica Ahhh! Alhazard's power is going wild! Leon Your Majesty! I will join you! Bernhart ....Leon. It is not time for you to die. You will live and witness the end of the Empire! Leon A world without his Majesty has no meaning to me. I thought of his Majesty's ideals as my own, I've done that much...I want to enforce my ideals to the end. Even if it leads to death.... Your Majesty! Please let me join you to the end! Bernhart Fuu.... Do as you wish. Elwin Leon... Leon Elwin.... I leave this continent to you. Only you can help me to rest safely. Please, farewell! Larna Leon! *Leon I'm sorry Larna.... Until the end I want to be with the ideals I believed in... *Larna Leon... I'll go to, together with you... Riana Sister! Leon ...I can't answer you feeling.... Stubborn aren't I.... .....Thank you, Larna.... Larna Leeeeeoooooonnnn! *Larna ...Leon... Riana After this long fight all that's left is this Alhazard, what sadness.... Keith A person even as strong as him desired power... Elwin But the power of darkness is not for humans to use... Darkness is the enemy of humans... Sherry Alhazard was forged from people's desires... Aaron Probably. Hain But we've finished the battle. *Larna Well, let's begin an end to this age of wars. Riana Langrisser. This is your final duty... Dying words: >> Elwin I came all the way here, just to die like this... >> Hain I'm sorry everyone, I just can't go on anymore... >> Sherry This is the worst... How could I die like this?! >> Scott Wow... I can't... >> Aaron Uuuhh... That's enough... >> Keith Kuuuu... I was too careless... >> Lester Sorry everyone, I messed up... >> Jessica Ahhh, the sky is blue.... >> Riana I am sorry, I must retreat... >> Larna Kkks... I can't die just yet... >> Leon Guha! *Elwin Leon! Any more fighting is pointless! Leon Are you trying to give me mercy! I'll kill you! Elwin Stop it. You don't have the strength to fight. *Bernhart That's enough Leon. You've done a fine job. Now just sit back and watch the fight. Leon Yessir! *Bernhart You defeated Leon, but do not become complacent. The Empire will not fall as long as I am not defeated. And you cannot defeat me when I have the power of Alhazard. If you to attempt to defeat me and make desperate efforts, then you may throw your life away. But I will win this fight! Elwin Nope.... We will win this battle! We must win! >> Demon Lord Gugigigi! Guga! Guha! >> *Vampire Lord Me... And immortal king is failing...?! >> Imperial General Not yet... Banzai! Kyaaa! Uuuhh.... Me..... A few questions/comments before I finally shut up. I've left them to the end for the sake of those trying to just enjoy the ending. In fact, if you want to enjoy the ending, I suggest you ignore the rambling of a bored guy who enjoys chucking his ideas at others. (The power of light is said, among other things, to be 'belief.' The Imperials believed in their fight at least as much as Elwin and company did. Their stands within the last few scenarios very similar to the last stands traditionally given to heroes. They've been no less heroic than those of the 'light'.) (Elwin says at the end almost exactly what Bernhart said at the beginning. They seem to have given up on that argument.) (Is Leon's assuming of Bernhart's ideals as his own the weakness Bernhart was talking about? And for that matter, was Leon listening to that conversation?) (Both Egbert and Bernhart used the power of darkness, and they retained control of their wills till the very end. Egbert's proposition to Jessica remains unanswered. Yet Elwin confidently states that darkness is unfit for humans.) (What, might I ask, is not forged from people's desires?) The ending cutscences and character endings remain untranslated. I'd be curious if anything interesting goes on in them. Evil seems to get the best and final word on good, much like in Warsong... though Garett's/Ledan's justice rebuttal makes more sense to me than anything Elwin says in the final moments of the scenario. ________________ | | | Ending Credits | |________________| Executive Producer Mio Shibuya Main Programmer Tomohiko Matsuda Programmer Nobuyasu Takayoshi Visual Programmer Masao Matsumoto Scenario Planning Fuuma Yato Planning Support Masayuki Suzuki Kyousa Shindou Scenario Support You Hatsuki Kiho Ishizuka Hiroaki Hori Main Graphics Designer Masayuki Suzuki Graphics Designer Syuuichi Furuno Yuumi Seki Takayuki Jingou Masako Tazaki Kinya Morishita Sound Sound Producers Isao Mizoguchi Music Noriyuki Iwadare Operator Kouji Yoshimura Sound Programmer Dougenzaka Shibuya Character Designer Satoshi Urushihara Business Managers Toshiyuki Komori Kouichirou Terada Public Relations Akisei Matsuda Kigen Iwamoto Hiroaki Sato Technical Advisor Kohiro Shosawa Special Thanks To Hisatsuya Souki Takeshi Kubota Kiyoko Kawai Shunshou Nakamura Thanks To Mamoru Koyamada MORIYAH Tetsuya Ooya Kouhiro Higuchi Kenyoshi Akane Takahide Saito Director Shin'nichirou Takada Copyright 1994 NCS Translation Credits Langrisser 2 was translated thanks to the efforts of Warui Toransu and HiryuuHonyaku.
