[They see the old man on the dock.] Old Man: Oh, it's you, Serge. Great day, huh? How's your day been? What was that...? You want me to take you to Water Dragon Isle? Wellk, it's not too far, so I'm willin' to take you there for 100G. (Serge): Yes, take me! Old Man: Great! Shall we get going? [They get on the boat.] Old Man: There you go. [They head to Water Dragon Isle.] Old Man: Hoho, it's been a while since I visited this isle, but its beauty never fades. But there's something strange... I don't see any of the fairies that usually dance around the pond. Oh, pardon me. There's a small village of fairies on this isle. It should be just beyond this pond. I don't know what brings you to this isle, but it's best to ask the fairies to learn about the place. In the meantime, I'll be 'round here fishing. This pond is great for fishing. [They head further through the isle and find the dwarves destroying the place!] Dwarf Chieftan: Hmph, just when I thought it was a rarity to see humans on this remote isle, you all hi-ho along. Look at thsi isle... It's beautiful, a perfect fit for our new home! Too good for these damn fairies. You humans taught us that the world is built on the dead bodies of other species... Now, hi-ho away with you... along with the fairies... to the deeps of the sea! [They go further into the cave. Serge and the others follow.] [Inside...] Dwarf Chieftan: Hmph, I knew you'd come. Now we must confront you fools once again... I suppose this is fate... This ends now... With your death! Die, human scum!!! [The dwarves are defeated.] Dwarf Chieftan: Krr... What strength. I can not allow our clan to be defeated here... Next, the next will be your last! Come after us, humans. If you want to save the fairies! Retreat! Tallruf, Beardruf! [They run further in the cave.] Dwarf Chieftan: So, you've made it this far, but you will not find us so easy to defeat! We will settle our scores here by avenging the extinct Hydra and our dying homeland with your death! [They defeat the dwarves and their tank.] Dwarf Chieftan: Grrh, such strength... Are we to be driven off our land once again? Is there no land on this planet where we can live in peace? Oh, Goddess of Fate, why are we dealt such a hand... Are humans really the greatest species on this planet? These heretics of evolution, these destroyers of the planet...? Ugh... [They die.] Guile: Serge! There is a fairie over there... [They head to it.] Guile: ...Serge. Is it alright? Rosetta: Agh...who are you? I will be fine. The other fairies, are they alright? Kid: I don't feel their presence in the caves anymore... I am sure it's safe outside as well. Guile: We are sorry, but wait right here for a minute... We need to go further into the cave. It will only be a little while... [They continue on, to the Water Dragon.] Water Dragon: Welcome, son of man. Now, come to me... [They walk up to it.] Water Dragon: ...Thou needeth not explain. I know already what thou seeketh here. There is naught to be surprised about. It is but a trifle for we "Sleeping Dragons," who hath dwelt upon this land for ages... Mount Pyre, the land thou seeketh is home to the "Fire Dragon." Unless thou quench his red blazes, it will prove a difficult journey. Take this, son of man. My breath can freeze even boiling lava... [They get the Ice Breath.] Water Dragon: Take my subordinate as well... It will be useful in holding back the Fire Dragon of Mount Pyre... [They get the Frog Prince summon.] Water Dragon: Wilt thou change this world... Or wilt thou change thyself? Wilt thou live with thy mother planet... Or wilt thou turn thy back on the planet and tread another path? [Later, they talk to the fairies.] Fairie: They said they "were chased out of the forest by the humans." And they drifted down to our island... so the humans are to blame!!! Fairie2: Because of you humans, our village, our friends have been made victims!!! Why can't humans live in harmony with nature? Why do you continue to act the way you do? Don't you see what the outcome of your choices will be in the future!? Why, why... Fairie: You crooks, I hate all you wicked humans!! Hurry up and get off this island! Rosetta: A very sad tragedy, triggered by acts of humans. We have lost so many of our people and loved ones. Although our village has been saved, no one here thinks kindly of man... I am extremely sorry, but please leave the island as soon as you can... [Kid faints] [FMV] [Children's drawings burn. In a dark room, stands Lynx.] [FMV] [Kid awakens, later at a campfire. The others are asleep.] Kid: ...Where am I? I fainted, eh? [Serge awakens] Kid: Sorry... Did I wake you up? I had a bad dream. Seein' that fairy's eyes filled with tears over losin' her friends... That must've triggered memories of me own past. I was an orphan... I was abandoned when I was a baby... There was someone who took me in and raised me as if I were her own little sister... I'm alive here today thanks to her. There were a lot of others like me at Sis's place, and... she was always makin' strange stuff... We didn't have money, but we were all happy. UP until that Lynx bastard... came and shattered our happiness to pieces! Lynx raided our house, burned it down, and kidnapped Sis! Sister... never came back... Since then, I've wandered the world and experienced so much pain, just to get by... No one was there to help me. I was always alone. If you ask me, the idea of guardian angels watchin' over us all the time... that's a load of rubbish. [She stands.] Kid: In this world, the underhanded always gets the last laugh. Only the ones who don't think anything of hurtin' others are the ones who get blood-stained fortunes. The ones who kill, the ones who devour, they're the ones who survive. That's the only rule of this world. The great species of mankind... our wonderful world, filled with love and happiness... HA! Don't make me laugh! But if that's how it is, that's fine with me. As long as I'm alive, there ain't no goin' back. I'll abide by this world's rules, and do what I gotta do, despite the rotten hand of cards I've been dealt! I'll make sure that bloody bastard pays for what he's done!!! I will get even...! No matter what it takes!!! [The next day, they start leaving.] Guile: Huh? What is going on? The old boatman is gone! Kid: Did he head back to the village because we were so late? [The old man comes.] Old Man: I figured you'd be coming back, so I set the boat out. Are you all safe? Oh, many pardons. It didn't look like you'd be coming back before sunset, and I had to return before it got dark. Well, since you made it back here, I guess you did what you needed to do? ...But you guys look a little gloomy for it to have gone well... No second thoughts? Then let's head back to the village. (Serge): Let's head back to the village. Old Man: ...You sure? Then let's go back to the village. [They return to the village.]
