"Fryd y nameav! E druikrd fa ryt mucd oui."
Buddy
"He's been blubbering about how he couldn't go on living if
something were to happen to you."
Rikku
"We hadn't heard anything in
so long!"
"We tried tossing a CommSphere into the hole, but it didn't
help one bit."
Shinra
"Hey, it's still in beta."
Paine
"So, what happened?"
Yuna
"Well..."
Buddy
"Lenne, huh?"
Shinra
"Yeah, the girl from the Songstress dressphere."
"That's Lenne?"
Shinra
"Sure. She wore that dress one thousand years ago."
"Why didn't you tell us?"
Shinra
"No one asked. Besides, all I knew was her name." "What's to
tell?"
"What Shinra said surprised
me, but only a little."
"So there really was a connection."
"Okay, okay. So, the reason Shuyin keeps calling Yuna "Lenne"
is--"
"Because of that dressphere?"
Shinra
"I can't really say for sure."
Brother
"Forget Lenne!"
"Shuyin's the one who's wanting to vaporize Spira!"
Buddy
"Yeah, but what can we do?"
"Nooj and Gippal are already planning
something."
"Let them deal with it for now."
"Yunie, Yunie!"
"Yeah?"
"You met Shuyin, right?"
"Was he
anything like you-know-who?"
"Not really. Just his face."
"They gave me these."
"They say anything?"
"No."
"I see."
"They're old friends."
"The
three of them were candidates for the Crimson Squad."
"And I was the
recorder assigned to their team."
"Yevon created the Squad and started
training members two years ago."
"It was supposed to be an elite
fighting force."
"The best were to be assigned leadership of Crusader
chapters
across Spira..."
"But?"
"The Squad was destroyed
before that happened." "Most of the candidates died. An accident."
"The four of us were separated then."
"Things happened."
"I don't get it."
"I was there. I saw everything."
"But still. I don't know why it happened that way."
"Even now."
"So I went to look...for some answers."
"You became a sphere hunter."
"I always did want to fly on
this thing anyway."
"Whatcha talking about?"
"Or is it another one of those secrets?"
"That's all right. I didn't wanna know anyway."
"Too bad. And I was just about
to tell you."
"Really?"
"Too late now."
"Oui pimmo!"
"We used to laugh like this
once. The four of us."
"I've been chasing my past for so long..."
"Sometimes getting it back is all I can think about." "Other times, I
just want to forget."
"What about you?"
"Shuyin isn't who you
thought, is he?"
"No."
"Maybe we should both let go
of our past and focus more on what's to come."
"You're not leaving the
Gullwings?"
"Always a possibility."
"So many things seem
intertwined."
"But nothing leads to you."
"Why
be a sphere hunter if what I'm hunting for can never be found?"
"You're not leaving us, are
you?"
"I may not look it, but I am
having a good time."
"Right! Right?"
Buddy
"What about Yuna? Think she'll quit?"
Brother
"Uv luinca hud!"
"Yht fru ycgat oui, yenrayt?"
Brother
"Yuna..."
Shinra
"I hate to interrupt, but Spira's falling apart with its leaders
missing. Check the CommSpheres and see."
Wakka
"Hey, Yuna. How you been, huh?"
"Well, not too bad. How are
things in Besaid, Wakka?"
Wakka
"It's okay. It's been pretty quiet, ya?"
"No more fiends in the
temple."
"Really?"
Wakka
"That's what Beclem says, and he patrols the place every day."
"He's a dedicated man."
Wakka
"Yeah, but he's gonna be leaving the island pretty soon."
"Youth
League's having some trouble or something, so they called him back
to headquarters."
"On top of that, word around here is the New Yevon
praetor's gone missing."
"Not sure what it all means, but things don't
look good, ya?"
"Yeah, it's a bit crazy all
over."
Wakka
"Listen."
"I dunno about the rest of Spira, but Besaid's in good
shape."
"I got this place covered."
"It's that, or Lu'll let me have it."
"You know what I'm sayin'?"
"Thanks, Wakka."
Dona
"Well, that's Kilika Port for you."
"From the moment Nooj
disappeared, everyone's been running around in circles."
"Just look at
them. No one knows what to do without someone barking orders at
them."
"They've already started looking for a new leader."
"In fact,
they even asked me."
"Figured a former summoner would make a perfect
leader for the town."
"Why don't you?"
Dona
"Too busy looking after myself, dear."
"Of course I'll do what I can
to keep things from getting too far out of hand, but..."
"Until Nooj
gets back, things are not going to be the same."
"Lady Yuna!"
"More fiends?"
Yaibal
"Actually, we've received some unconfirmed reports of trouble
brewing in Bevelle."
"It seems a unit of New Yevon's troops have been
gearing up for a raid."
"With Nooj gone, they're hoping to strike
quickly and catch us off guard."
"But don't worry about us!"
"We won't
be so easily trapped!"
"We're planning to launch a preemptive strike
before they can attack."
"As soon as our preparations are complete, we
move on Bevelle!"
"But you're not even sure
they're planning an attack, are you?"
Yaibal
"In war, victory favors the bold!" |
"I must be off! Farewell!"
"What are you doing?"
Maroda
"Well, for one, I'm running reconnaissance on New Yevon."
"The
praetor's gone, fiends are on the loose-New Yevon is upside down."
"Fortunately, security is
lax, so even Youth League members like me can walk around in the
open."
Guard
"You there! What are you doing!"
Maroda
"Took them long enough."
"So long!"
Buddy
"Looks like Nooj and Baralai still haven't come back." "And now Gippal's vanished, too."
"Spira's three leading big shots have all
gone AWOL."
"If I was one of their followers, I'd be pretty
worried-and scared."
Shinra
"Tension between the two groups is getting volatile." "It won't be
long before things get very ugly."
"And Vegnagun's on the loose."
"You can bet Shuyin's controlling that thing."
"I wonder if Gippal and the
others are trying to destroy it..."
"Maybe."
"Ooh, nothing makes sense
anymore."
"I mean just what the heck are we supposed to do!"
"Nooj spoke to me on the
Farplane."
"He told me to take care of things topside."
"As if it were
the simplest thing to do, really."
"And everything was going so well."
"At least, that's what I thought."
"I changed my mind. I want to do something."
"Nooj asked me to help
and that's what I'll do."
Brother
"Oac, drec ec dra Yuna dryd E ghuf."
"Alrighty! Let's smash that
action figure!"
"We'll risk our lives and protect Spira from Vegnagun!"
"No, I think...there has to be
something we can do besides fighting."
"Like what?"
"With its leaders gone,
Spira's falling apart."
"Maybe we can bring people back together."
"Yeah! Yeah! Great idea there,
Yunie!"
"So like, what are we gonna do? Huh?"
"Sing campfire songs?"
Brother
"Ooooh! That is it!"
"All of Spira will be the captive of Yuna's
singing and dancing!"
"Great idea!"
Shinra
"I can handle the techie stuff."
"H-Hang on!"
"I know! I know! I bet Tobli
would help!"
Buddy
"Where is he now?"
"The Moonflow."
Buddy
"Gullwings..."
Brother
"Move out!"
"I began this journey
hoping to find you."
"But I know now that may never happen."
"Still, I
will keep walking these roads."
"I have to find where they connect."
"I
have to see for myself."
Shinra
"Would you like to check the CommSpheres?"
"The sphere waves keep pouring in."
"Huh?"
Buddy:
"Yikes, sorry!"
"Must've dropped you off at the wrong place."
"As long
as
you're there, why not take a little stroll?"
Man 1
"Hey, you! You haven't seen Tobli anywhere around here, have you?"
Man 2
"We have word that he's somewhere nearby."
Man 1
"Huh? Aha! There you are!"
"Where'd he go?"
"Ah! That obnoxious midget! Found him!"
Man 2
"Where'd that little ball of pudge learn to run like that? I'm
beat."
Man 1
"We can't keep up..."
"Come back here, you beak-faced fraud!"
"Has Tobli passed this way, sir?"
Man 3
"Eh, nope, can't say I've seen him."
"He must still be on the south
bank."
Man 4
"Go take anudder good look."
Man 1
"Yes, sir."
"He says Tobli crossed the
Moonflow."
Hypello
"Follow on shoopuf, yesh?"
Man 1
"He has to be here somewhere."
Man 4
"You don't suppose he climbed into one a dem trees, do ya?"
Man 1
"You! I'm gonna! You're gonna...KILL!"
Tobli
"Hi, hi, what can I do for you? What brings you here?"
"Well..."
Tobli
"Spectacularly spectacular!"
"'Twill be a yummy Yunapalooza indeed!"
"'Twill go down in history!"
"I most definitely, definitely want to
arrange it!"
"Can I, can I?"
"Yup-yup!"
Tobli
"A minor detail. Where oh where should it be?"
"Well, the more people we can
gather together, the better."
Tobli
"Aha! Then how about the Thunder Plains?"
"Yes! You could practically
pack a plethora of people in that place."
"Now, how do we get people to
come?"
Tobli
"Simple, simple! Leave it to me!"
"My power PR team will push it
pronto!"
"Oh, boys!"
Hypello
"Advertising ish our shpeshalty."
"We'll get you your shpectatators."
"Are you sure about this?"
Buddy
"Brother's orders."
"Bring every last Hypello back with you."
"We're over the Calm Lands now. We ready to go?"
Brother
"Grab everyone you see!"
"We do not want anyone in Spira to miss
this!"
Hypello
"Leave it to ush."
"Will they be all right?"
Hypello
"Be back in a jiffy, shishter."
"They've got guts."
Buddy
"All right, next stop!"
"What are you up to?"
Shinra
"A project."
"I'm engineering a giant sphere screen for the stage."
"That way, even people way in the back will be able to see you."
"Your invention?"
Shinra
"Not to mention we're still picking up lots of waves through the
CommSpheres."
"Nice work."
Buddy
"All the Hypello have been deployed."
Brother
"Achtung, baby! To the concert grounds!"
