Chapter One, Scene 1: Griate

The game begins in the port town of Griate, where we are introduced to the following three characters:

Denim	Kachua	Vice

They are preparing to attack Dark Knight Lans, who is rumored to be coming.

Vice: Denim! Damn it! Lans is here! Just as we had heard.

Denim: Gotcha. Well, I guess this is it, sis...

Kachua: ...This isn't a very good idea...we can't possibly win!

Vice: What are you talking about, Kachua? Isn't this what we've been waiting for?!

Kachua: But...three of us...against the Dark Knights...

Denim: Don't worry, Kachua. They're not expecting us.

Vice: Are you chicken, Kachua? I'm still going to do it, even if you guys wimp out!

Denim: Relax, Vice. Don't say such things. Let's go.

Kachua: We won't succeed. Besides, what good is it to kill these guys?

Vice: Lans is the leader of the Dark Knights. They're the source of Bacrum's power. By killing Lans, we can weaken the Bacrum forces here for a while. Then the Gargastan forces will make their move and invade Bacrum. Then we can launch our counterattack!

Kachua: ...We're still recovering from the last war. Are you trying to start another one?

Vice: What do you mean we're still recovering, Kachua?! The Walstanians are being treated like shit!! Gargastan is trying to wipe us out!

Kachua: But...to start a war over reasons such as these...we'll just end up losing...

Denim: ...Shhh! They're here...

(Several knights appear)

Vice: We will attack from both sides. Denim, you attack from the rear!

Denim: Alright...

Battle 1: Griate Objective: Kill all enemies! Enemies: Lans, Warren, Canopus, Guildus, Mildain Guests: Kachua, Vice Lans Paladin Warren Lord Mancer Canopus Eagle Man Guildus White Knight Mildain White Knight

(As soon as Vice gets to attack, he runs at Canopus and attacks. Canopus blocks the attack.)

Knight: ...Who are you?

Vice: We are warriors of the Walsta Liberation Army! We will avenge our people's suffering!

Knight: Avenge?

Winged Man: What a polite way to welcome people... Look at them, they're just kids!

Knight: Wait. Are you sure you're talking to the right person?

Vice: If your name is Lans, then you're our enemy!

Knight: Indeed, my name is Lans. How did you know?

Vice: You and the Dark Knights burned down this town a year ago!

Knight: Dark Knights? But we are from the eastern kingdom of Zenobia.

Kachua: ...I remember now, the Dark Knight Lans has only one eye.

Knight: Hmm, a one-eyed Dark Knight who happened to share the same name. I see...

Winged Man: We came to this island looking for work as mercenaries.

Knight: My name is Lans...Lans Hamilton. A knight from the Kingdom of Zenobia.

Winged Man: I'm Canopus. People call me the "Wind Rider." And the old fart...his name is...

Magician: Warren...Warren Moons...

Knight: My name is Mildain Walhorn. A Zenobian Knight.

Knight: And my name is Guildus, also from Zenobia. So stop looking at us like that.

Vice: ...But I thought...I guess they're not the Dark Knights...

Kachua: Please forgive us, but I must ask for your help.

Lans Hamilton: We're new to this island. Tell us what is going on.

Vice: My name...is Vice... Damn it, we're wasting time! We must find the real Lans!

Kachua: I am Kachua, a Priestess. And this is my brother, Denim.

Denim:

1. Forgive us.
2. They're lying.

Denim: I'm Denim. Forgive us. Lans Hamilton: ...We sure were surprised. But never mind that...it's very hot here. Why don't you take us somewhere cool and tell us your story?	Denim: They're lying. They might be one of our enemies. Canopus: You sure are one hard-headed lad. Let's just forget about them, Lans. Lans Hamilton: We're not here to harm you, boy. Trust me. Kachua: Denim! Don't talk to them like that! Now, apologize to these Knights! (Lans Hamilton takes out his sword and raises it above his head) Lans Hamilton: I swear as a Knight of Zenobia that I shall never be your enemy. Denim: I believe you. ......
	Denim: I believe you. Forgive me, Lans. (Lans Hamilton sheaths his sword) Lans Hamilton: Don't mention it. I understand. Thank you for trusting me. ...It's hot here. Can we go to a cool place so you can tell us your story?	Denim: ...... Kachua: (To the Zenobians) Forgive us. My brother is not himself today. Please put down your sword. (Lans sheaths his sword) Lans Hamilton: Never mind. I understand your apprehensiveness. ...It's very hot. Why don't you take us to a cool place and tell us your story?

Kachua: Let's go to our hideout. We can't offer you much, but at least it's cool.

(They enter the hideout)

Kachua: ...We just don't have the manpower to fight against the country of Gargastan. That's why Bacrum asked for support from the Kingdom of Lodis. Their problem was similar to ours.

Canopus: I see... That's why the Kingdom of Lodis sent the Dark Knights to Bacrum.

Warren: ...The "Roslolian Knights" are the knights that work directly under King Saldian. King Saldian commands 16 divisions. Their duties consist mainly of espionage... Collecting information from the other countries, carrying out conspiracies... That is why they're the Dark Knights.

Guildus: But why are the Ros...something supporting Bacrum?

Vice: Let me ask you something. Why did you come to our island? I bet you guys just came here to take over Valeria, starting with us, isn't that right?! The Kingdoms of Zenobia and Lodis are going to trigger the war from this island!!

Kachua: Stop it, Vice. I've had enough of your conspiracy theories...

Lans Hamilton: ...I understand the situation now, Vice. Let me answer your question. It is true that we are Zenobians. But we no longer work for the king. We were banished from the kingdom.

Guildus: In other words, we're fugitives. We can never go back.

Canopus: Therefore, we're looking for employment. With decent pay, of course.

Vice: I'm not buying into this! This is our war!

Kachua: I said that's enough, Vice. (To the Zenobians) You have to excuse him, he's a bit...

Lans Hamilton: Don't worry about it, there's no need to apologize. What are you planning to do now?

Denim: ...We have to rescue Duke Ronway. He's imprisoned in Amorika Castle...

Lans Hamilton: Who's Duke Ronway? Is that your leader?

Vice: Yeah. He's the leader of the Walstanian... He was caught by the Gargastans. We heard that he's going to be executed soon. We have to do something...

Canopus: Hmm...I hear the sound of money... Hey Lans, why don't we help them out?

Vice: I'm sorry that I doubted you guys. Kachua is right. We don't have the manpower. We need your help.

Guildus: If it's a deal, then let's not waste time. Off to Amorika Castle!

Kachua: ...W-wait a minute. There are a lot of soldiers at Amorika Castle... We can't...I mean, even with Knights, we can't win. We'll all die. I don't want to be a part of this.

Lans Hamilton: Denim, it's your call.

Denim:

1. Help us.
2. Don't interfere.

Denim: We can't fight this alone. Please help us. Lans Hamilton: You have yourself a deal. Let's get going.

Denim: This is our war. Please don't interfere. Lans Hamilton: I see... We are going to Amorika anyway... Not to help you, but to fight for truth, justice, and the Amer... Umm, we're just going in the same direction. Our ideals may be different but we share a common goal. So why don't we form an alliance? Vice: Give them a break, Denim. They're going to come with us whether we like it or not. Lans Hamilton: Deal. Let's go!

(Everyone but Kachua and Denim leaves)

Kachua: ...You never listen to me, do you. (Kachua looks away from Denim) ...I know what you're thinking. But I just don't want to lose you. You're the only family I have left. It's just that...you're my only brother. I don't want you to die... I-I'm sorry. I know that I can't stop you. But promise me one thing, don't leave me...

(Vice enters the room)

Vice: What are you guys doing? Everybody's waiting for you.

(Denim leaves)

Vice: You are so over-protective, Kachua. He's a big boy now, he can take care of himself...

Kachua: Don't you ever shut up?! My brother is not blood-thirsty like you.

Vice: Look, I'm not fighting because I want to. I just don't want to go down without a fight.

Kachua: Oh, don't talk like such a tough guy. You were counting on those Knights!

Vice: You were the one who invited them! Don't tell me...

Kachua: I'm being nice to them so that we can take advantage of them. Maybe if you had half a brain, you would have figured that out already. You should be thankful.

Vice: A priestess taking advantage of people. What a bitch!!

(Vice leaves)

Kachua: I just...don't want to lose anyone...
