(Alcamoth)
Kallian:
Dearest Homs and Nopon representatives, my humble gratitude for accepting our invitation.
I am Kallian Antiqua, regent of the High Enita.
Otharon:
We all know who you are.
You High Enita have kept yourselves safe, remaining spectators to our destruction. Why call upon us now?
Kallian:
As stated in my invitation, it is our intention to form an allied force from the peoples of Bionis,
with which we will confront Mechonis.
Otharon:
Hah. Look at you. One little scratch and you're already crying for help.
Kallian:
I cannot deny this.
The attack did serve as the catalyst. But the fact remains that things have changed.
Otharon:
When we needed help at the Battle of Sword Valley, our cries were ignored. Give me one good reason why we should bother.
Kallian:
I understand your anger. Our selfishness was inexcusable.
However, please hear what I have to say.
Listen to why our stance has changed.
Otharon:
Hmph.
Start talking if you like. But no promises we'll stick around till the end.
Kallian:
We High Entia were mistaken.
We believed that if we were attacked by the Mechon, our power alone could repel them.
But a brave group of young heroes showed us the error of our ways.
When the Mechon descended upon Eryth Sea, Shulk fought with a courage I have never seen.
I was most surprised to see that this group was comprised of different races.
Homs, Nopon, High Entia; although different, they trusted one another as friends.
As just one inhabitant of Bionis, I desired to… No, I felt compelled to become strong, like them.
Otharon:
Their strength came from the Monado.
Bravery only gets you so far in this world.
Kallian:
Then you will not join us?
Otharon:
Hold your horses, son. I said they didn't win bravery alone. But they wouldn't have got far without it.
All right. You can count on our help.
Dunga:
The Nopon will join too! Th Hom Hom and Bird People are friends of the Nopon. We will fight together!
Kallian:
Dickson, are you leaving?
Dickson:
Yeah, it's just I felt this sudden pain in the neck.
Kallian:
Is that your response?
Dickson:
Don't go jumpin' the gun there, Prince.
I'll leave the colony's forces with old Otharon here. You can use 'em however you want.
I've got somewhere I need to be.
Kallian:
Might I ask where?
Dickson:
A battle's more than just a head-on assault.
The sooner you realise that, the better. I'd better go and remind Shulk 'n' all.
Kallian:
So you know of their whereabouts?
Dickson:
I told you. I've got a pretty good idea.
Kallian:
Dickson!
Dickson:
Yeah?
Kallian:
If you should meet Shulk…
Dickson:
What?
Kallian:
I have something I want you to tell him.
(主角这边)
Dunban:
You want us to kill your son? That is no small request.
Miqol:
There are hardly any of us Machina left on Mechonis.
Back when the Bionis and the Mechonis were fighting, the Bionis almost completely wiped us out.
I suppose the Bionis just didn't want us around.
Lady Meyneth fought the Bionis for us.
In the end, the two titans wounded each other and entered a deep slumber.
Melia:
Who was lady Meyneth?
Miqol:
The creator of Mechonis. You could say that she is the Mechonis itself.
Reyn:
You talk like you saw all this. Ain't this all just an ancient myth?
Miqol:
I know I look young, but I'm actually quite old.
I saw the whole thing with my own eyes.
Reyn:
You can't be serious?!
Melia:
The people of Mechonis must have a longer lifespan. Just like we High Entia live far longer than Homs.
Reyn:
I get that, but he can't have lived that long.
Shulk:
But why do you want your son dead?
From what you've told us, I would've thought you'd want us to destroy the Bionis rather than kill your own son.
Miqol:
Egil was a brilliant young man. Clever, strong and kind to the less able.
But he never forgave the Bionis for what it did, and he swore to take revenge.
Reyn:
So he wants to do to us what the Bionis did to the Machina?
Miqol:
Correct. Egil is trying to eradicate all innocent life on Bionis.
He has to be stopped.
Dunban:
Didn't you ever try to stop him?
Miqol:
We tried, once. A lot of people were killed.
He's blinded by revenge. Even Lady Meyneth herself couldn't convince him to stop.
Shulk:
Where is Egil now?
Miqol:
Most likely the Mechonis capital.
He's trying to restore its former glory all by himself.
Shulk:
I feel sorry for him.
Reyn:
What're you talkin' about?! Did you forget what he did to us?!
Shulk:
I haven't forgotten, or forgiven! But Egil's clearly suffered a lot in his life. You don't feel any sympathy at all?
Reyn:
All I know is, this stinks. Who cared what he's been through?
Shulk:
Reyn!
Dunban:
I understand about Egil. But why us?
You should be aware that Shulk's sword, the Monado, has the power to destroy Mechonis weaponry.
It's said that it was once the sword of the Bionis. Doesn't the very sight of it make you quiver?
Miqol:
Zanza…
Just talking to myself.
If you're gonna kill Egil, you'll need all of that sword's power.
That's how strong Egil is.
But enough talk, you must be tired. Take your time and think it over.
Until the young lady's treatment has finished feel free to spend time in our village.
Linada:
She has done well to survive such injury.
Sharla:
What do you mean? Is she sick?
Linada:
Since you seem to have knowledge of Homs medicine, I'll explain it like this.
I'm afraid she's had several of her organs removed.
Am I correct in assuming she was configured to operate inside a Mechon?
Sharla:
That's right.
Linada:
She has been transformed into a Mechon's central nerve unit.
Her blood can now circulate through a Mechon's components.
Sharla:
How?
Linada:
I believe her immune system is now configured for compatibility with the Mechon.
That's why her strength has depleted.
Sharla:
But you can treat her, can't you? Please!
Linada:
Of course.
Even as a Machina doctor, I cannot turn a blind eye to this butchery.
With our equipment she will regain her strength, but…
She will be stuck with this body. I cannot restore her flesh and blood Homs body.
Fiora:
That's OK.
I don't want to be a burden to Shulk.
I don't care if I have a machine body. Just make it so I can fight beside him.
Sharla:
Fiora…
Linada:
Leave it to me. If that is your wish, I'll do my best.
(Shulk出现)
Linada:
I must implant a new circulation system for her immune functions.
But we have one problem.
Shulk:
A problem?
Linada:
I don't have a Piezoelectric Unit, which is required to control such a system.
As long as she remains on this bed, the life support machine can compensate.
But to move around freely, she must have the Piezoelectric Unit.
The same unit is used in Mechon, so if you were to find some Mechon parts…
Shulk:
But where?
Linada:
Well, outside of the village, at the base of Digit 5, there is a beach.
Debris from above washes ashore there.
You might be able to find one among the Mechon wreckage.
Shulk:
We'll take a look. The beach at the base of Digit 5, right?
Linada:
Yes. It gives off a faint red glow so it might be easier to find at night.
(接到剧情任务，寻找Piezoelectric Unit)
Shulk:
I think we found it. Is this the Piezoelectric Unit?
Linada:
Yes, that's it. Well done.
Shulk:
Linada, will Fiora be OK now?
Linada:
She'll be fine.
It will just take me a little time to reconfigure and install the unit.
Leave it to me. You get some rest.
Shulk:
But!
Linada:
Shulk, do you want her to see you looking exhausted when she wakes up?
Shulk:
You're right. I'll try and get some rest. Thank you for everything you're doing.
Linada:
By the way…
Shulk:
Yes?
Linada:
The chief says he wants to speak with you.
I think it's about Egil.
Shulk:
I'll go and see him.
He wants Egil stopped, and so do we.
But I need to sleep on it.
Linada:
Good. You mustn't overburden yourself.
We will help you in any way we can.
Shulk:
Thank you.
(前往目的地休息)
Shulk:
Umm…
Miqol:
How are you? Sleep well?
Shulk:
Yes, very well.
I wanted to…talk about your son.
Miqol:
Have you made up your mind?
Shulk:
Yes.
We agree with you. Egil must be stopped.
But we can't act now.
Miqol:
Why's that?
Shulk:
Before we came here, we heard of plans to form an allied force on Bionis.
Any day now they're going to launch an attack on Mechonis. But it's too dangerous.
Egil has made a weapon that could kill us all.
Dunban:
The weapon that Mumkhar was using? The one that shoots green fluid?
Sharla:
He said it can decompose any being from Bionis.
Shulk:
We have to go back and warn them. Before it's too late.
Dickson:
Well, you could always ask me to do it.
Shulk:
Dickson?! What are you doing here?
I can't believe you found us.
Dickson:
Why? This place is directly below the fortress.
If you fell from up there, I figured you must've ended up here. And Bob's your uncle.
Miqol:
You're looking well, Dickson.
Dickson:
I see you're lookin' like your usual old self.
Dunban:
You know each other?
Dickson:
Kinda.
Miqol:
I scratch his back, he scratches mine.
He tells us about the outside world, and we give him technology and information.
Dunban:
Why did you keep that to yourself? That information is vital to all who fight Mechonis.
Dickson:
Not all of us Homs are good people. What'd happen if the Mechonis-hating types found this place?
These Machina cut themselves off from the world to get away from pointless fighting.
Melia:
So they escaped to live in peace? Somewhere they wouldn't be seen. Makes sense.
Dickson:
Clever little crown princess, ain't ya.
Dunban:
So this is where you obtained all that stuff you brought back to Colony 9.
I wondered where you were getting it from.
Dickson:
I thought it was fine as long as it helped Shulk out at the lab.
I guess the secret's out now.
So, that weapon. How dangerous are we talkin' about.
Shulk:
I haven't discovered why, but it disintegrates anything if touches.
But only if it's living tissue from Bionis.
Dickson:
Bet that would come in handy.
Dunban:
Dickson!
Dickson:
I'm only jokin'. Anyway, for now just don't let any of it touch you.
I'll come up with something to counter it. Leave it with me and I'll keep ya posted.
You lot go and take care of that Egil or whatever his name is.
If you take him down, the allied force might not even be needed.
Shulk:
OK!
Let me think about it for a bit.
Shulk:
Fiora.
Dickson:
Ain't made your mind up yet?
Shulk:
Dickson, listen.
Dickson:
Dunban told me all about it. The goal of your mission. So you wanted to avenge Fiora?
Shulk:
Yes.
Dickson:
But you found her alive. And now you've got her back. So you're all done now, ain't ya?
Shulk:
What are you fighting for, Dickson?
Dickson:
Me? He just gets right under my skin. That Egil guy.
Shulk:
Because he's trying to exterminate the Homs?
Dickson:
There's that. But that ain't everything.
It's his hatred for the Bionis, or more like his aim to wipe out everything that lives on the Bionis.
I'll tell you one thing. That Bionis allied force is coming together quicker than I thought.
Shulk:
Really?
Dickson:
Yep. That High Entia prince is really movin' things along.
Shulk:
Will they launch an attack on Mechonis?
Dickson:
Of course. But it looks like the prince has got another plan. He gave me a message for you.
When the allied force attacks Mechonis, you don't need to join the fight.
He wants you to take advantage of the chaos and do what it is you need to do.
Shulk:
Prince Kallian said that?
Dickson:
I was pretty surprised too. He looks like a sissy, but he's got guts.
Shulk:
Yeah. I think that's the type of man he is.
Dickson:
So what are you gonna do? He wanted me to let him know.
Shulk:
We're going to the Mechonis capital.
Dickson:
You're gonna take down Egil?
Shulk:
I don't know.
I can't forgive the Mechon for what they've done. But after listening to Miqol, I think there might be another way.
Dickson:
You're too soft.
Shulk:
Do you really think that?
Dickson:
Too right. He's the self-proclaimed leader of Mechonis.
I heard about what he did to the Monado. If you face him, it might get eaten up.
But you have to throw everything at him, even if there's only a slim chance of winning.
Hesitate for one second and you're a goner.
Fiora:
We won't let Shulk die. Not ever!
Shulk:
Fiora!
Are you OK to be walking around?
Fiora:
Yep!
Sharla:
I have to hand it to her. That Linada's pretty good. And not just with machines. She's also quite familiar with organic physiology.
Fiora:
You went to get the thing she needed to cure me, right? I'm sorry I've caused all this hassle.
But I'm fine now. I'll be by your side, fighting to protect you.
No matter where we go, no matter how difficult it gets, Shulk will do the right thing.
It doesn't matter how slim our chances, Shulk will always stick to the right path.
Dunban:
And don't forget, it's because of Shulk that we're all here, fighting together.
I think that shows he has a strong character. Am I wrong, Dickson?
Dickson:
Well, when I think about everything you lot have done, I can't deny that.
Shulk:
Dickson, we're going to the Mechonis capital. About the allied force…
Dickson:
Yeah, leave it to me. I ain't gonna let anything happen to the colony.
Those Mechon won't get away with anything else.
Miqol:
Are you going?
Shulk:
Yes. Thank you for all your help.
Miqol:
You might run into someone called Vanea in the capital.
Just mention my name and she'll lend a hand.
Fiora:
Vanea…
Shulk:
Is she a Machina as well?
Miqol:
She's my daughter. She won't be far from Egil.
Dunban:
Hold on. You mean she's Egil's sister?
Miqol:
You've got it, lad.
Shulk:
And you say she'll help us?
Miqol:
The girl doesn't want to hurt Egil, but she doesn't like what he's doing.
She should be a big help to you young 'uns.
Shulk:
I dunno why she'd help us, but…
We'll try and find her when we get there.
Miqol:
Good luck.
Linada:
Fiora, don't forget. I've only made temporary repairs.
I think you should be able to fight bu don't overdo it.
Come and see me the moment you experience any further system failure.
Fiora:
I will. Thank you.
Linada:
In the meantime, I'm hoping I'll find a way to restore your former body.
Fiora:
Is that possible?!
Linada:
Theoretically, it might be possible to use your genetic information to regenerate your missing organs.
Sorry. It's unfair for me to give you hope. To be honest, there's very little chance.
But if there's even the slightest possibility, I have to try.
Fiora:
Thank you, Linada!
Shulk:
Fiora…
Fiora:
Don't make that face! OK, let's go!
Dickson:
Off ya go, kid.
I'm counting on you and the Monado. Don't let me down, Shulk.
(机神界)
Egil:
Why did that Face betray me?
And that light.
No. that is not possible.
It must have been remnants of memories from her former life
that made me lose control.
Memories.
They are what limited the potential of Metal Face as well.
I now know what I must erase every last trace of what they once were.
All my servants need is the instinct to fight.
This Homs female.
She was with the boy who wields the Monado.
The light of her memory.
It shines strongly in this one.
Bring me Face 20814!
So it is this male.
The boy, Shulk,
remains a thorn in my side.
I will enjoy watching my minion crush him.
Be still, my servant.
I see that your memories cause you much suffering.
(主角这边)
Linada:
Shulk, take this.
Shulk:
What is it?
Linada:
There's a path leading from the base of Digit 2 to the foot of the Mechonis.
This is the security key to the door that seals the path.
We who live in the village don't have any need for it, but it will be invaluable to you.
Shulk:
We're in your debt. Linada.
Linada:
Shulk, Fiora… Take care on your journey.
Shulk:
We will.
Fiora:
Linada, thank you for everything.
(前往目的地)
Shulk:
Bionis and Mechonis.
Fiora:
It's so different seeing them from this kind of perspective.
Melia:
We cannot see it from here, but our people are still fighting up there.
Shulk:
It's difficult to believe that two such huge things ever fought each other.
I wonder how the Machina felt at the time.
Reyn:
Must've been horrible.
Sharla:
Scary too.
Dunban:
Fear robs us of reason.
Out of fear we commit terrible atrocities
and call them acts of self-preservation.
Shulk:
Fear gives rise to more fear.
A never-ending circle of hatred.
Melia:
Perhaps that circle can be broken?
Shulk:
Fear.
It must be what's driving this.
What's made Egil act this way.
(进入Mechonis Field)
Sharla:
We're inside the Mechonis.
Reyn:
Just how I imagined it. It's all totally mechanical.
It ain't gonna be easy getting up this thing.
Shulk:
Egil is at the top…
(到达目的地)
Reyn:
What's up, Shulk?
Shulk:
Look. It's a switch to activate a lift. If we can get it to work, it should take us up.
Riki:
Riki want to ride lift!
Shulk:
We can't. There's no power going to it.
Riki:
Boring!
Sharla:
What do we do?
Shulk:
Well, if we could find the main power supply…
Reyn:
OK people, let's get lookin'.
Shulk:
Yeah. If we can connect the power to the switch, we should be able to use the lift.
(前往顶部目的地)
Reyn:
Whoa, don't look down! Anyone know where we are? Other than high up?
Fiora:
Maybe…somewhere around the thigh?
Reyn:
The thigh? You mean we ain't even half way there yet?
Shulk:
Stop moaning about it. Look. We can make camp over there.
Let's rest for a while.
Dunban:
Fiora, are you sure you're feeling OK?
Fiora:
I feel a bit like
I haven't got used to this body yet.
But please, whatever you do, don't tell Shulk about it.
I'm sorry, Dunban.
Dunban:
Don't worry about it.
Back when my arm was injured, it was you who took care of me.
Fiora:
I'd almost forgotten.
It seems so long ago now.
Sharla:
Thanks, Reyn.
Reyn:
Doing a spot of maintenance?
Sharla:
Yep.
The sighting's been a bit off lately.
Shulk:
You know, Miqol let us have some new parts.
I could make you a now rifle if you want.
Sharla:
Thanks.
But I want to keep using this one for now.
Reyn:
Shulk, get a clue, man!
It's more than just a weapon to her.
She can't just throw it away and get a new one.
Shulk:
Yeah.
Reyn:
I suppose so.
If she let anything happen to it, I bet she'd get a whack from old Otharon.
(回忆)
Sharla:
Doesn't my man ever rest?
Gadolt:
Not a chance.
The lives of everyone in the colony rely on the Defence Force.
Our readiness and our will to keep on fighting.
Sharla:
We never know when the Mechon will strike next.
Gadolt:
No. but I won't let anyone else die!
Gadolt:
I…
If only I had more power!
Sharla:
Stop it! Gadolt, it's not your fault.
Gadolt:
We lost thirty men in Fortress Three alone!
Sharla:
Listen to me!
Nobody knew that so many Mechon would come!
More people would've died if it wasn't for you!
Gadolt:
It's not about reducing casualties.
We lost thirty men
and we've lost the fortress.
Those men died for nothing!
Sharla:
Would their deaths have meaning if we'd won?!
Gadolt:
Yes.
At least they would have died for something.
This is the end now.
It's either the Mechon or us.
I don't care if I'm the last man standing.
I'll take them down!
(回忆结束)
Sharla:
Hey, Reyn.
Reyn:
What is it?
Sharla:
Do you want to beat the Mechon?
Reyn:
Of course. What you askin' that for?
Sharla:
At any cost? Even if it means giving your own life?
Reyn:
Giving my own life? No way. I can't do anything if I'm dead.
I'm gonna take down the Mechon and survive.
And there's no way I'm gonna lose Shulk, Fiora or you along the way.
We're all gonna win this and get out alive!
Sharla:
If only we all thought like you.
Reyn:
What do ya mean?!
Sharla:
It's charming.
Reyn:
What?!
Dunban:
We should get moving. We don't have time to hang around.
Sharla:
Reyn, did you rest well?
Reyn:
Yeah! I feel great!
Dunban:
It looks like we're about to re-enter the Mechonis.
Brace yourselves.
Shulk:
Got it!
Riki:
Dundun! You OK?
Dunban:
Oh, it's nothing.
Just my imagination.
(到达目的地)
Shulk:
Are you OK?
Melia:
She looks very tired.
Should she not get some rest?
Fiora:
Thank you.
But really, I'm OK.
Dunban:
No.
We'll find a safe place to rest.
We've hardly stopped since we left the village.
Riki:
Riki tired too.
Riki tummy rumble.
Reyn:
I'm with you.
Time to park our-
Shulk:
Get down!
Dunban:
A Mechon assault!
Can anyone see them?!
Reyn:
Another vision?
Nice one, Shulk!
Shulk:
No. It wasn't.
Fiora:
Shulk?
???(Gadolt):
You did well to evade me.
Just what you'd expect from he who wields the Monado.
Sharla:
That voice!
Dunban:
It's a faced Mechon!
Reyn:
Is there someone inside?
What do we do, Shulk?
Shulk:
We fight.
But don't kill him.
Reyn:
Thought you might say that.
(Boss战：Jade Face)
Reyn:
Sharla!
Sharla:
Gadolt! It's you, isn't it?
Please answer me!
Let me see you!
Gadolt!
I knew you were alive.
Reyn:
Gadolt?!
Shulk:
Is that Sharla's boyfriend?
Gadolt:
The destruction of the Monado.
That is the will of Lord Egil.
Sharla:
Gadolt?!
Shulk:
What do you mean, Lord?
What's Egil done to you?
Sharla:
What's wrong, Gadolt?!
Why would you say that?!
Speak to me, Gadolt!
Gadolt:
This world is in disarray.
I must eliminate the cause of this disorder
and restore the world to its original form.
That is my duty.
Nay, the will of the world!
Now the time has come.
The time to restore order!
Sharla:
Gadolt! Stop!
Gadolt…
Reyn:
Sharla!
