Arriving in Lenankamp:

Viktor:
"Here we are in Lenankamp, Tir. Not much of a place, but they do make fine tea here. ha ha ha ha ha! Well then, it's about time I got to work. Let me go make some arrangements. I may be late, so take a look around."

[Viktor leaves.]

Gremio:
"Who is this fellow that Viktor wants us to meet? You know, I can't quite trust that man."

Cleo:
"I have no idea. So, what shall we do now? I'd love to take a shower..."

[They go to the inn.]

Innkeeper:
"Welcome to the Keyaki Inn. A bed is 70 bits per person. I'll throw in breakfast. So you are a friend of Viktor's. Well then, I will prepare the best rooms we have."

[Fade to a room with four beds and a large, conspicuous grandfather clock.]

Gremio:
"I guess what's-his-name, Viktor... never returned."

Cleo:
"But we didn't make any other plans. Let's wait a bit longer, and if he still doesn't show up. we'll head north. Perhaps Master Teo can help us."

Gremio:
"............. ...Cleo. Why... did Pahn..."

Cleo:
"Don't... Gremio..."

[There's a noise.]

Gremio:
"What's going on? At such a late hour."

[In the other room, five soldiers confront the innkeeper.]

Soldier:
"We've heard that some fugitives are staying here. We'll look around."

Innkeeper:
"But sir, our guests are sleeping."

Soldier:
"Shut up! Do you plan to harbor Rebels?"

[Back to the bedroom.]

Gremio:
"Young Master, they're coming for us! Viktor! He must have ratted on us! I knew we shouldn't have trusted him!"

Cleo:
"This doesn't look good. They'll find us for sure."

Gremio:
"W-what should we do, Young Master?"

Tir:
[x] "Let's fight."
[ ] "I'm scared. Let's run."

Gremio:
"Y-yes, Young Master. I, Gremio, will protect you with my life..."

Cleo:
"Oh, stop it, Gremio. He was kidding. There's too many of them. Calm down."

[In the front room, the soldiers split up to search.]

Gremio:
"We're in big trouble now."

Cleo:
"Gremio, maybe we can get Young Master out before..."

Woman hidden behind the clock (Odessa):
"This way! Hurry!"

Gremio:
"Who was that?"

[Tir approaches the clock. It swings back to reveal a stairway and Odessa.]

Odessa:
"What are you waiting for? Hurry! Do you want to get caught?"

Gremio:
"W-who are you?"

Cleo:
"Whoever it is, thank god!"

[They follow her down into the sewers of Lenankamp.]

Odessa:
"So you're the 'new friends' that Viktor told me about. Everyone's waiting. Follow me."

[They go to a room where Odessa, Viktor, and three other men are standing around a table.]

Viktor:
"Sorry Tir, you must have had a tough time. But it was exciting, wasn't it?"

Gremio:
"What's going on here?"

Viktor:
"I didn't think I'd give myself away so soon. Oh well, now that you've met Odessa..."

Cleo:
"Odessa? The name rings a bell..."

Gremio:
"You don't mean... the Rebel Army..."

Odessa:
"Rebel Army? We prefer to call ourselves the Liberation Army. But who cares about names. Let me introduce myself. I'm Odessa Silverberg, leader of the Liberation Army. How do you do?"

"But who cares about names? Let me tell you my name." -- That makes loads of sense...

Flik:
"Viktor. Are these the people you wanted us to meet?"

Viktor:
"That's right. Prepare yourself for a surprise. This here is the son of General Teo McDohl. And a fugitive to boot. Don't you think he'll be a great asset to the Liberation Army?"

Gremio:
"You've got to be kidding! Why should Young Master join the Rebels? Right, Young Master?"

Tir:
[ ] "Who says I'll join?"
[x] "Maybe I should join the Liberation Army."

Viktor:
"So he says. He's interested."

Flik:
"No way. Recently many of our hideouts have been discovered. There must be a spy among us. With all the problems we already have, we can't afford to recruit complete strangers."

Odessa:
"I guess you've all been fooled by Viktor as well. Whenever he takes a liking to someone, he just drags them in. But they appear to be hunted by the Imperials, and the town's still full of soldiers... You may stay until things blow over. Whatever decision you make afterwards is up to yourselves."

Gremio:
"Y-you've got to be kidding, Young Master. Join the Rebels? No way."

Cleo:
"Rebels... Liberation Army... well why not? Maybe we should become true Rebels. On the other hand, what will Master Teo think?"

[Tir's free to wander around and talk to them.]

Flik:
"If Odessa greets you as a guest, so will I. My name is Flik. Lightning Flik of the Liberation Army. You've never heard of me? Well then, remember the name. The quiet one there's Humphrey the Swordsman. And that's Sanchez. We three are pretty famous in the Liberation Army, you know."

Sanchez:
"My name is Sanchez. How do you do?"

Humphrey:
"........."

Viktor:
"You don't really think the Empire will take you back, do you? They'll kill you for sure."

Odessa:
"I'm so sorry. You must have had a fright. Viktor's got bad habits. I guess we're enemies. Too bad."

[Tir heads back towards the inn, but finds a bandit collapsed on the stairs.]

Gremio:
"Ah-are you all right?"

Bandit:
"I-I must tell... Lady Odessa."

Cleo:
"Let's take him inside."

[They do so.]

Bandit:
"Where are we?"

Odessa:
"Don't worry. This is the Liberation Army hideout. Have you a message for me?"

Bandit:
"You must be Odessa. Thank goodness. I'm one of the Mt. Seifu bandits. But we only attack those rotten Imperials. Anyway, the other day, the Imperial Guard came over and captured our bosses... Varkas and Sydonia."

Gremio:
"Varkas and Sydonia? Could they be..."

Cleo:
"Shhh.... Be quiet."

Bandit:
"Lady Odessa, please. Help Varkas and Sydonia. That rotten Grady of Rockland has strung them up to starve to death."

Cleo:
"Outrageous! Execution without trial! Even by Imperial Law, that's illegal."

Odessa:
"How awful..."

Flik:
"But Odessa... Imperial surveillance has been intense lately. We have to keep a low profile."

Odessa:
"I'm aware that we're understaffed. But the bandits have asked for our help. We can't let them down."

Tir:
[x] "It's our fault."
[ ] "This has nothing to do with us."

Odessa:
"What do you mean, it's your fault?"

Gremio:
"We..."

[Screen fades to black for their explanation.]

Viktor:
"I see. Well, even if you didn't know what you were doing, you still have to claim responsibility, right, Tir? You must rescue Varkas and Sydonia. I'll help you too."

Cleo:
"I agree. I don't plan to betray the Empire, but Grady is unforgivable."

Gremio:
"You're right. Undoing Grady's wrongs would be good for the Empire... Besides, if Young Master gives the orders, I will follow."

Bandit:
"Thank you. Varkas and Sydonia are strung up at the home of Rockland's military commander. If you don't hurry, they'll dry up. Please help them."

Odessa:
"Tir, I beg of you too. Viktor, you go too."

Viktor:
"Leave it to Viktor. Let's get going, Tir. Rockland, here we come!"

[Tir is free to walk around and talk to them. Flik is the only one with anything interesting to say.]

Flik:
"Don't for a moment think that I trust you. Viktor, that goes for you too."


In Rockland:

Guard in front of Grady's house:
"Who are you? You've no business here. Get out, or you'll be strung up like those bandits there. Ha ha ha ha!"

[They move away from the house.]

Gremio:
"Security's pretty tight. It'll be tough sneaking in."

Viktor:
"Leave it to me. I'm used to things like this."

[Viktor leaves. A moment later, a man comes running up to the guard.]

Man:
"Help! Help! The Grady mansion is on fire! Fire! Fire!"

Guard:
"What?!"

[The guard runs off. A moment late, Viktor rejoins the group.]

Gremio:
"Viktor! What have you done? You didn't...?"

Viktor:
"Heh, heh. I didn't do anything. It must be the dry weather."

Gremio:
"My goodness! Young Master, don't you dare take after someone like this!"

[They approach the house. Sure enough, part of it is on fire. They enter, and fight their way through to the back yard, where Varkas and Sydonia are tied up on stakes.]

Sydonia:
"Ha."

Varkas:
"Uhhh, what's going on?... I can't see... My god! It's you Imperials! Why are you here? Have you come to laugh at me?"

Gremio:
"Of course not. If we'd known what sort of fellow Grady was, we never would have helped him."

Cleo:
"A few things happened, and we're wanted by the Imperials, just like you. We'll help you out."

[They get Varkas down from his stake.]

Varkas:
"Thanks. Get my buddy too, will you?"

[Sydonia frees himself in a flash of light.]

Sydonia:
"Ha. Not necessary."

Varkas:
"Sydonia! Why you... If you've got tricks like that, why didn't you escape sooner?"

Sydonia:
"Ha. Can't very well escape alone."

And he couldn't untie Varkas after freeing himself???

Varkas:
"Sydonia? You..."

Viktor:
"Hey, let's get out of here."

[They make their way back through the house. Grady stops them before they leave.]

Grady:
"You... you dare to turn against the Emperor, free the bandits, and even... even set my house on fire! You'll be sorry!"

Varkas:
"So you want a fight? Don't think you're the only one with a grudge. Why I'll cut out your eyeballs..."

Grady:
"What? Oh, well..."

Sydonia:
"Ha. I'd rather tear him to pieces."

Grady:
"Um, please... Well, you see... You'll regret this! I'll tell Master Kraze about this. You'll get yours!"

[Grady runs off.]

Gremio:
"Cleo, do you think the Empire will take us back?"

Cleo:
"I don't know."

Gremio:
"Y-young Master."

Viktor:
"Ha ha ha! Don't worry. There's all kinds of ways to make a living."

[They leave the mansion.]

Varkas:
"I guess we owe the Liberation Army our lives. Tell Lady Odessa that if she ever needs help, Varkas and Sydonia will be there in a flash. Well, we're off! Perhaps we'll meet again."

[Varkas and Sydonia leave.]

Viktor:
"It sure is great to be done! Let's go back to Lenankamp. Tir, why don't you spend a bit more time with the Liberation Army? Come on!"

Cleo:
"Young Master, when we return to Lenankamp, let's decide what to do. At this rate..."
