* Shiro: ...
* Siegbert: ...
* Kana(M): Uhh...
* Kiragi: ...
* Forrest: ...
* Kana(F): Um...shouldn't we say something?
* Kana(M): Yeah! Now that we all know each other, let's talk about something fun.
* Siegbert: No need for idle talk, Kana. All that's left is the coming battle.
* Kana(M): But...shouldn't we pass the time while we get there?
* Siegbert: Why bother? Yes, we share a destination and an ultimate goal. But beyond that, I see no reason to acknowledge them at all.
* Kana(F): So you're just going to keep giving each other the silent treatment? That's so sad. And here I thought I made a lot of new friends...
* Shiro: Forget it, Kana. It's better not to get involved with people from other worlds.
* Kana(F): Ughhh! This is awful! Can't we do something, Shigure?
* Shigure: Mmm...
* Kana(F): Um...Shigure?
* Shigure: You're very different people from the ones I knew.
* Kana(F): What did you say?
* Shigure: Oh, er, nothing. But yes, I agree. This is a problem. I'm sorry. I though you'd all unite as one as soon as I dispelled the illusion. Looking back, I didn't handle matters as well as I could have. I should have told you from the first that you all came from different worlds.
* Kana(F): Oh, I think this probably would have happened anyway. It's not your fault.
* Shigure: You're a kind soul, Kana.
* Kana(F): Awww, thanks. It's the truth, though...
* Kana(M): Yeah! If you didn't show up, we'd still be fooled into seeing fake things! You're the reason we didn't fight again, and I'm glad. Kana hits REALLY hard.
* Kana(F): So do you! I was shaking every time I had to fight any of you! So I was extra happy when it turned out you weren't bad guys after all. I thought it would be easy to rescue Papa and everyone if we all worked together. But that's not how it happened at all...
* Kana(M): Don't cry, Kana...
* Shigure: I don't know where we go from here. Originally I was planning to take you all directly to Anankos's seat at Castle Gyges. But with the tensions between you all, I'm not as sure as I was that we can win.
* Kana(M): Hmmm...is there any way we can help?
* Kana(F): Oh, I know! Yato can become Omega Yato, right?! Would that help?
* Kana(M): What's the Omega Yato?
* Kana(F): You don't know about it?! Whenever the Yato meets another divine weapon, it transforms. The Noble Yato turns into the Blazing Yato, and THEN it's the Omega Yato. Some people call it the Fire Emblem, I think?
* Kana(M): Our sword can do all that?
* Shigure: How did you hear of this?
* Kana(F): This blue-haired lady in a white dress told me.
* Kana(M): Oh, HER! Yeah, I met her too! But...I can't remember her name now.
* Shigure: Mother...I don't understand.
* Kana(F): Anyway, she said we can save our loved ones with the Omega Yato!
* Kana(M): Huh! I bet if we had it, then everyone would start getting along!
* Shigure: The Omega Yato... Does everything come back to that sword?
* ???: Not this time, I'm afraid. (scene transition; Arete teleports in)
* Shigure: It's you...Arete.
* Arete: Leave, child. Your threats are empty. They will change nothing. I will remove you from this world before you ever lay eyes on the great King Anankos.
* Shigure: Rrrgh...! (the Nohrian and Hoshidan princes appear)
* Siegbert: Shigure! Is this our enemy?
* Shiro: Is she the reason we lost our parents? Then only one of us is leaving here! (Siegbert and Shiro advance towards Arete)
* Shigure: Wait, don't! She's too strong!
* Arete: Oho...you think very highly of yourselves. (Arete attacks Shiro and Siegbert)
* Shiro: GRAAAH!
* Siegbert: ARRRGH!
* Shigure: No! (the retainers appear)
* Soleil: Stop it! Don't hurt Siegbert!
* Asugi: You've got some nerve hurting Shiro... If it's a fight you want, try me instead!
* Shigure: Back, all of you!
* Arete: What appaling ignorance... You should have stayed in your world of illusion. Your deaths would have been far easier that way. But you insisted on facing reality, and now you shall reap your punishment! (screen flashes and transitions to Shigure and both Kanas being thrown backwards)
* Shigure: Urgh... What just happened?
* Kana(M): Sh-Shigure! Bad news! They've all...
* Shigure: They've what, Kana? What has she done with them?!
* Kana(F): They're all gone! Wh-what now?! (scene transition)
* Siegbert: What overwhelming strength she had... Is everyone all right?
* Shiro: I'm fine. Anyone else? ...Anyone?
* Siegbert: Oh, no.
* Shiro: You're telling me there's nobody here but us? Well, damn. This is awkward.
* Siegbert: Just what I was about to say... more or less. We must find the others before— Hm? What's this?
* Shiro: Did you find something?
* Siegbert: I'm...I'm not sure. Come and see... (scene transition)
* Kiragi: Uh-oh...where'd everyone go? Guess it's just you and me here.
* Forrest: So it would appear. Er...
* Kiragi: Hey, relax. It's not like I was waiting for the chance to stab you in the back. I'm on your side! And I know you're on mine when it counts. Now c'mon, let's go look for the others.
* Forrest: A capital idea. After you... (scene transition)
* Arete: You poor wretches... You'll never reach the road ahead, not even with the aid of a certain gem. Nothing you do now can help you to reach the glorious King Anankos. If you cease this fruitless struggle, I'll grant you a merciful end.
* Shigure: I am no fool. And I will not yield to the likes of you. I will not lose another soul. And I will reclaim those you took from us!
* Arete: But you must know by now that there is no hope of that. No matter how much you and your false companions resist, the result is the same.
* Shigure: Say what you will. But Kana and my friends still have time to save their loved ones. So long as they fight, I won't give in either.
* Arete: In that case, enjoy being annihilated, over and over again. The splendid King Anankos's servants and the Vallite army will be your executioners.
* Shigure: Yes...Anankos's servants... The mere sight of your faces was enough to overwhelm us last time. But in truth, you are victims too.
* Arete: What arrant nonsense. (Arete teleports away)
* Kana(M): Um, Shigure...do you know that lady?
* Shigure: Not personally. She led an army I fought once, nothing more.
* Kana(F): But it really looked like what she said was bothering you. And she called us "false companions." What did she mean?
* Shigure: That was only her trying to sow unrest. I wouldn't dwell on it. What's more important is that the Vallite army will arrive soon. If we dawdle here, we'll be easy prey. We must prepare to engage them.
* Kana(M): Yikes! Will we be OK? There's just three of us...
* Shigure: No matter. We can do it. The key is to believe the others are safe—and to fight so you can be reunited.
* Kana(M): Oh, I already believed that.
* Kana(F): Me too. I can't wait to see them again!
