NAVIGATION 1: "Jikuu Yusou" (Travelling Through
Space And Time)April 3, 2001 -- Crawd and his father are travelling
together with the crew of the Karnas on a space exploration, when they
come upon Milokinia, a planet which is radiating strange energy.
Crawd is upset that he's always beneath his father -- his father is
always telling him what to do, and Crawd wants to do things his way.
They search the planet and find a device which accidentally transports
Crawd to Expel. Cut off from his father and crew members, he decides
to survey the area, but while enjoying nature, he hears Rena being
attacked by a gorilla-like monster. Unable to defeat the monster on
his own, he uses his phasegun to destroy the monster. Unfortunately,
the beam from the gun makes Rena think he's the Legendary Hero who
uses a sword of light.
NAVIGATION 2: "Contact" April 10 -- Crawd is
introduced to Aria, Rena's home village. The Legend of the Hero is
told in detail here. Is Crawd the Legendary Hero? Rena's mother
Westa and the Mayor Lejis (Kenichi Ogata) doubt it, but Lena is
steadfast about it. Crawd overhears the conversation and says point
blank that he is not a hero, and that he only wants to return.
Perhaps the only way for him to return, though is if he finds the
Sorcery Globe. So he goes to Salva for help, but hears that the head
of the town, Alan (Hikaru Midorikawa), has been acting strangely, and
that Rena's in trouble, so he tries to stop Alan's horse-drawn
carriage, but jumps out of the way and watches it speed away.

NAVIGATION 3: "Maseki" (Demon Stone) April 17
-- Rena is kidnapped by her friend Alan (Hikaru Midorikawa), who seems
to be possessed by something, so Crawd must go out and rescue her from
a strange marriage ceremony. But he uses up his phasegun's energy,
and has to fight Alan using just a sword. Rena's cure magic is first
used here.
NAVIGATION 4: "Monshou-Jutsushi" (The Heraldic
Scroll) April 24 -- The two go to Cross Castle for help, whereupon they
receive a scroll that would ensure them passage to get to the Sorcery
Globe. Celine joins the party in hopes of getting help to find
treasure. They must travel to Klik, which is unfortunately destroyed
in a bizarre tidal wave.
NAVIGATION 5: "Kuuhazan" May 1 -- They travel
to Mars, Celine's home village, where the children of the village have
been kidnapped. The mayor recruits Dias to save the children, but he's
a loner, and instantly both Dias and Crawd take a dislike to each
other. But Rena refuses to let Dias go into dangerous territory alone,
and with or without Crawd, she goes with him. The two go to rescue the
children, but Crawd and Celine follow later. The children are saved,
the monster is killed, and Dias leaves the three to continue their
journey.
NAVIGATION 6: "Soutouryuu" (Two-headed Dragon)
May 8 -- Another way to reach the Sorceror Globe is through the port
town of Harley, then through the kingdom of Rakuul, but on the way to
Harley, they find many people gathered outside a cave. A knight had
gone in alone to fight two fierce dragons, and they are worried about
him. So the party enters the cave to help the knight, who tells them
to leave, but as he fights, they talk among themselves as to whether
they should leave or stay. Bothered by their bickering, Ashton turns
to tell them to shut up, which gives the dragons the opportunity to
attach themselves to his back.
NAVIGATION 7: "I-Houjin" ("Tetra-Genes") May
15 -- The party must help Ashton get rid of the dragons on his back,
named Gyoro and Ururun by Rena, so they search for the Tears of
Royalty. So they enter a mountain pass, where they find three-eyed
Opera, who is looking for her lover Ernest, but her using an energy
rifle leads Crawd to suspect that she's not from Expel. They don't
find Ernest, so Opera leaves to continue her search while the party
continues their search.
NAVIGATION 8: "Namida" (Tears) May 22 -- In
order to get the Tears of Royalty, they must fight Jeene the Demon
Bird. To their surprise, Ashton is possessed by Gyoro and Ururun, who
explain that the time when monsters and humans lived as enemies has
passed, and fights Jeene for the Tears. They defeat Jeene, who then
flies off, bidding farewell. Ashton recovers, unknowing what just
happened, and now comes the time to separate Gyoro and Ururun from
Ashton's body. But the party asks Ashton if he's sure he wants to go
through with this, since the ceremony would not only mean that Gyoro
and Ururun would separate from him, but they would also die. Halfway
through the ceremony, Ashton stops. He can't go through with killing
the dragons, no matter how annoying they are.
NAVIGATION 9: "Shiokaze Harley" (Breezy
Harley) May 29 -- While in Harley, Crawd and Celine kiss, and Rena has
an encounter with Yuki, a girl who sells jam. But where did Ashton go?
There's a little boy going around stealing things and causing trouble.

June 5 -- It's night time in Harley, and Crawd witnessed two pirates
stealing gold. He goes after them alone, and encounters a ghost.
NAVIGATION 11: "Hatsumei-Shoujo" (The
Invention Girl) June 12 -- On their way to Rakuul, they come across
Precis and Mujin-kun. Ashton likes Precis, but Precis obviously likes
Crawd. The party splits up to look around Ringa, leaving Ashton
behind; he finds a ribbon belonging to Elenore, a bed-ridded girl
who's suffering from a deadly disease and needs the Metalx herb to
make the cure. Elenore is Precis's dear friend, and she goes off on
her own to find the Metalx.
NAVIGATION 12: "Gekkou-ka" (Flower of
Moonlight) June 19 -- The party goes to "The Sanctuary of Ringa"
(Ringa no Seichi) to help Precis and find the Metalx, but they
encounter a woman entangled in roots and vines, who's actually a
monster that can manipulate people. She bites Celine and Rena and
turns them against Crawd and Ashton.

Crawd, fight! ...But Leon interrupts the battle with grave news:
Monsters are coming from the Continent of El!
NAVIGATION 17: "Iseki" (Ruins) July 24 --
