Lloyd's group moves on to the next area. In the area with a glowing stone on
the pedestal from far away…
Genis: Look, look! There's something glowing.
Lloyd: Wow! Let's go see it!
"He's so easily amused…" commented Kratos.
Colette: Look, there's something here.
Lloyd's group turns around and saw a Golem. Lloyd's group fights Golem. After
Lloyd's group defeats Golem, it turned into a block.
Colette: Wow! It turned into a rock!
Lloyd: Well, it was kind of a rock to begin with.
Colette: Oops!
Colette lost her balance and fell towards the block and to the floor. The block
falls into a hole.
Lloyd: Uh…
The block created one of the paths to the glowing item.
Colette: Oh, no!
Genis: I get it.
Kratos: I see.
Lloyd: What are you two talking about?
Genis: In just a moment, it'll probably… See, there it is.
Richter pondered, "Somehow they know everything…?"
Suddenly, another Golem appeared at the scene.
Lloyd: Whoa, there's another one!
Genis: Now, let's take care of it and drop it down below!
Lloyd looks confused for a bit. After that, Lloyd's group solved the puzzle of
creating a path to the glowing item by defeating Golems and dropping blocks.
Genis racked his brain. "What's odd is… I don't remember this actually happening…"
"Let's go to the sides and get the Treasure chests!" shouted Colette excitedly.
Lloyd agreed. "Yeah!"
Lloyd's group proceeds to the area with the glowing item.
Genis: Is this the Sorcerer's Ring? I've heard about it before. It's a holy
artifact of the Church of Martel!
Kratos: With this, we should be able to deal with most traps and obstacles.
"Ooh, cool, we get a toy!" commented Sheena.
Zelos sighed. "I don't even need to say anything at this point…"
Lloyd: Wow! Let me try it!
Colette: Okay, Lloyd.
Genis: …You're like a little kid.
Kratos, in epic fatherly awesomeness, felt the need to comment, "…He is a little kid."
Lloyd objected. "Hey!"
Lloyd's group received the Sorcerer's Ring. After that, Lloyd's group proceeds
back to the lobby of the temple and approaches the sealed door.
Kratos: It's sealed.
Colette: The Sorcerer's Ring can probably open it.
"Of course it can. Otherwise it would be unnecessary. Why, these video games are all the same!" ranted Tenebie.
"When have you ever played a different game, Tenebrae?" inquired Emil.
Tenebie looked offended. "Hmph. You don't need to know."
Marta whispered, "That's just his way of saying never."
Lloyd: Okay! Leave it to me!
Lloyd uses the Sorcerer's Ring on the sealed door and it opened.
Lloyd: Oh. Is this all the Sorcerer's Ring does?
Genis: You get bored so easily.
Lloyd's group takes the teleporter to the chamber of the Chosen. Inside…
Kratos: This appears to be the top floor.
Colette: Yes. That's the altar.
Lloyd: Then that shining thing there must be the Cruxis Crystal.
Colette: That's right. They say I was born with that in my hand.
Genis: Look at that light!
"GAAAHHHH!! THE LIGHT!! IT BURNSSSS!!!" screamed Yuan randomly.
Kratos commented, "It's the light at the end of the tunnel."
Tenebie paled. "…I hate light."
Suddenly, a winged priest appeared from above the scene.
Lloyd: Wh…what is that?
Kratos: An angel, I would assume.
Genis: So is that Colette's real father?
"PFFFFTTT!!!", snorted Mithos loudly.
"Oh, shut up," groaned Genis.
Remiel: I am Remiel. I am an angel of judgment. I am here to guide Colette,
daughter of the mana lineage, on her journey to heaven as the seventh Chosen.
Lloyd burst into song. "Judgement! Judgement! Sacred Powers! Judgement! Judgement! Rest in peace, sinners!"
Remiel descends a little.
Remiel: The time has come to awaken the Goddess Martel, who sleeps at the
center of the world.
Genis: Awaken the Goddess Martel… It's just like the legend Raine told us about.
Remiel gives the glowing item to Colette.
Lloyd's eyes sparkled excitedly. "Ooooh! It's a shiny!"
Genis sighed. "…You're so easily amused, Lloyd…"
Remiel: From this moment, Colette becomes the Chosen of Regeneration. We of
Cruxis bless this event, and hereby bestow the Tower of Salvation upon
Sylvarant.
We watch a movie of the view of the Tower of Salvation.
"…It's a giant stick sticking up out of the ground," observed Tenebie.
Kratos contemplated. "You're right. I never thought of how boring it could sound."
A mental connection formed in the head of the unexpected anime addict, Genis. "It looks like the orbital elevators from Gundam 00!"
After that…
Lloyd: So that's the Tower of Salvation!
Genis: Now the world will be saved!
Remiel: Colette, the Chosen of Regeneration. Unlock the seals that guard the
Tower of Salvation and climb its stairs to heaven in distant lands.
Colette: I humbly accept this task.
Remiel: Very good. We of Cruxis shall grant you the power of the angels with
each seal you unlock. Once you are reborn as an angel, this eroded world shall
be regenerated.
"Remiel has the voice of a movie announcer," observed Sheena
Colette: Thank you. I swear on my life I will regenerate the world.
Remiel: First head south, to the Seal of Fire. Offer your prayers in that
distant land.
Colette: Yes, Lord Remiel.
Just as Remiel ascends away from the scene…
Colette: Uh, wait! Please wait! I have a question I wish to ask of you. Are you
really my fa—
Remiel: First head to the Seal of Fire. Understood? My beloved daughter,
Colette.
Colette: F…father!…So you really are my true father.
Remiel: We shall meet again at the next seal, my daughter.
Genis waved his fist at the screen. "That guy is full of such complete BS-"
Raine slapped him. "Be polite."
Remiel ascends away from the scene. Lloyd talks to Genis.
Genis: So that was the oracle. I wish Raine could have seen him.
Lloyd talks to Colette.
Colette: I can't believe Remiel is my father… I'm all right. I was just a
little surprised. That's all.
Lloyd talks to Kratos.
Kratos: Colette must now go on a long journey to search for those seals.
Later…
Kratos: (to Colette) You've received the oracle. Then let us leave now, Chosen.
Colette: …Oh, yes.
Kratos: We're going on ahead.
Kratos takes the teleporter to the lobby of the temple.
Colette: Uh…thank you, both of you. Please stop by my house later.
Colette takes the teleporter to the lobby of the temple.
Lloyd: She left…
Genis: The rumor was true.
Zelos shouted randomly. "No it wasn't! Don't believe those lies! Don't trust the media! Nothing anyone ever says is true!!!"
Mithos looked wounded. "I am deeply offended by that fact."
Lloyd unsheathed one of his swords and pointed it at Mithos. "Why? Is it because you ARE the media??"
Mithos tried to bring the anti-plot back on track. "Please, let's avoid any potential plot and get on with the game."
Lloyd: What rumor?
Genis: That Colette is the daughter of an angel and is not really related to
her current father.
Lloyd: Even if you're not related by blood, family is family… At least, that's
what I think.
Genis: I…I'm sorry.
Lloyd: Hey, don't worry about it.
Lloyd and Genis takes the teleporter to the lobby of the temple. In the lobby,
Lloyd and Genis saw Raine who is doing researching.
Raine: MARVELOUS!
Genis paled. "Oh shit. Ruin Mode."
Raine looked appalled. "WHAT did you say?"
"Uh… I said, 'Raine's Ruin Mode is very educational'," stammered a nervous Genis.
Raine slapped him.
Lloyd: …Professor?
Raine turned and faces Lloyd and Genis.
Raine: What? What are you two doing here?! You're supposed to be studying in
class!
Lloyd: Uh! Uh-oh…
Raine angrily approaches Genis.
Genis: Raine! I…I'm sorry!
The camera briefly blacks out and shows Lloyd who closes his eyes. Raine
grabbed Genis and spanked his butt. After that…
"GAAAHH!!!" screamed Genis randomly.
Raine: …You're next, Lloyd. Are you ready?
Lloyd opens his eye.
Lloyd: Whoa, no, hey, stop!
Raine kicks Lloyd with a bright flash on the camera.
Lloyd: Oww!
"That is one violent woman," observed Kratos
Tenebie agreed. "Indeed."
Lloyd got knocked to the wall. Afterwards…
Raine: Now, you two, if you've learned your lesson, go back home. There will be
no class for the rest of the day.
Genis: What about you?
Raine: I've received permission from Phaidra to study this temple a little
while longer. It's not often that ordinary citizens have the opportunity to
enter this place.
Raine left the scene. As Lloyd and Genis approaches the exit…
Unknown Voice: MUHAHAHAHAHA!
Lloyd: What was that?
There was a brief pause.
Genis: …You're better off knowing.
"We never did find out," complained Lloyd.
Genis facepalmed before answering. "…It was Raine."
"The Professor is that evil sounding?" inquired Lloyd, surprised.
Zelos objected to Genis's answer. "That can't have been Raine. It was probably just some monster."
A set of ellipses marks appeared above Genis's head.
Lloyd and Genis exit Martel Temple and proceed back to Iselia. In Iselia, Lloyd
and Genis enter Colette's house. Inside, the mayor sits down with Kratos,
Colette and her family at a table.
Mayor: Then, we shall entrust the protection of the Chosen to Kratos and Raine.
Kratos: I have no objections.
Colette: Thank you so much for your help earlier!
Lloyd and Genis arrived at the scene.
Phaidra: Ohh, you're back! Thank you for your assistance earlier! Please accept
this small thanks.
Lloyd and Genis received the Collector's Book.
Genis: Thank you.
Lloyd: Thanks, Phaidra. Say, were you talking about the world regeneration
journey just now?
Colette decided to attempt to sound mysterious while laughing. "…Maybe. Maaaaybe. Maaaybe not."
Phaidra: Yes.
Lloyd: Wow! I want to go, too! I wanna see Colette regenerate the world!
Genis: If Raine is going, I want to go, too.
Kratos: No. You'll get in the way.
Lloyd: Wh…what?!
Kratos: The battles at the chapel were nothing compared to the journey that
awaits us. Children need to stay home.
Mayor: Kratos is absolutely right. Now then, we still have things to discuss.
You two should go on home.
Richter noticed something amusing and said, "It sounds like he should be saying, 'Your mother is absolutely right'."
Kratos looked offended. "…What are you implying?"
Outside, as Lloyd and Genis walks away from the scene, Colette opened the door
and came out.
Colette: Please, wait!
Colette approaches Lloyd and Genis and then she lost her balance and fell to
the floor. Colette gets up after that.
Colette: I'm sorry.
Lloyd: It's not like it's your fault.
Colette: Oh yeah…I'm sorry.
Lloyd: Listen! Ah, never mind.
Genis: Oh yeah, happy birthday, Colette!
Lloyd looked puzzled.
Genis: I baked you some cookies. If I knew you'd be leaving tomorrow, I
would've made something a little more special, but…
Colette: No, no, I love your cookies! Thank you very much!
"Yeah, Genis, everyone loves your cookies," said Lloyd eagerly.
"Uh…thanks?" said Genis. "But you still don't get any. MY cookies."
Genis: (to Lloyd) So what about you, Lloyd? You promised to make her a
necklace, right?
Lloyd: …Uhhh…heh…
Genis: …Don't tell me you forgot.
"He always forgets," commented Genis matter-of-factly.
Lloyd: Uh, it's…it's almost done. Uh, I'll give it to you…tomorrow, before you
leave. I swear!
Colette: Really? I'm so happy! As soon as I find out when we're leaving, I'll
go to your house to let you know.
Lloyd: Isn't it going to be dangerous?
Colette: I'm the Chosen, remember? I'll be fine. See you later, then.
Colette went back to her house and closed the door.
Genis: …Liar.
"NONSENSE!!" shouted Lloyd suddenly. "I had the basic idea in my head! I just had to…"
Genis finished his sentence for him. "...Actually do the work?"
"Yeah, that," answered Lloyd
Colette looked offended. "You never told me you forgot, Lloyd!"
"Heh. Heh. Heh," stammered Lloyd nervously.
Lloyd: If I start on it now, I'll finish it in time.
Genis: Oh, really? Well, whatever. By the way, you're going home now, right?
Can I go part of the way with you?
Lloyd: Sure, but where are you going to go?
Genis: I'm going to see a friend.
"He's going to see that dog that he's always feeding," shouted Lloyd.
Genis objected "She's not a dog, she's a person!"
Lloyd looked sad. "Yeah…"
"I miss her…" said Genis.
Lloyd: Huh? I didn't know you had friends outside the village besides me.
"Gee, thanks," said Genis sarcastically.
Genis: Does it matter? Anyway, can we swing by my house so I can get my stuff?
Lloyd inquired curiously, "Did you ever end up getting anything anyway?"
"I got food," answered Genis bluntly.
"That's important, so good," commented Lloyd.
