Gra had always been a staunch ally to Altea. But as Altea fought Grust, Gra backstabbed Altea. Altea's army was taken by surprise. King Cornelius and Falchion disappeared in the ensuing chaos. Two years have elapsed since that tragedy… J-Hope has finally arrived at Gra Bastion to confront the treacherous King Jiol, who has barricaded himself in.

(A Battle begins. A few minutes pass. J-Hope vists a house.)
Young man: They say that shops will all give you half off if you have a silver card… Sounds too good to be true if you ask me!
(A few minutes pass. J-Hope vists another house.)
Young man: I heard that once you reach LV.10, you can change jobs! Cavaliers can become paladins, mercenaries can become heroes… There's more but I forgot!
(A few minutes pass. J-Hope vists a village.)
?: Are you Prince J-Hope of Altea? I have a request of you. This tome belongs to one Bishop Boah of Archanea. Heimler of Grust got hold of it. It has come to be in my possession. Please return it to the bishop for me. One more thing… Watch over Princess Nyna. Your attention to this would put my mind at ease. I shall take my leave of you. We will meet again…
(A few minutes pass. J-Hope approaches Palla.)
Palla: I am pleased to meet you, Prince J-Hope. I am Palla of the Whitewings. As soon as we heard that Princess Maria was safe, my sister Catria and I left Macedon. Just as she promised you, Catria and I will join your fight alongside Princess Minerva. However, our youngest sister Est still has not returned from Grust. If she makes it back, the three of us will show you how we can light up the battlefield together!
(A few minutes pass. J-Hope approaches Catria.)
Catria: Hello, Prince J-Hope. It has been a while. Do you remember me? I am Catria. I was waiting for Princess Minerva's order before joining your army. I look forward to fighting together. I will do all that I can.
(A few minutes pass. J-Hope approaches Jiol.)
Jiol: You Altean rabble! I should have ground you into the dust when I had the chance!
(J-Hope and Jiol fight. A few minutes pass. J-Hope Seizes the area and ends the battle.)
Malledus: We searched every inch of the castle but could not find the blade of light… As the rumors suggest, Gharnef must have taken it to Khadein.
J-Hope: I see... Without Falchion, we cannot hope to defeat Medeus. Altea is so close…but we must go to Khadein instead. Disappointing, but I have to tell the troops.
