(Kyra is hunting in the woods outside Percote. She looses an arrow at her prey, but misses.)
kyra
...Dammit.
There goes our dinner.
It's getting dark, too...
No luck today, I guess.
I'll have to swing by the
marketplace.
I could get some fish. It's
been a bit since we had--
???
Ahah!
kyra
...?
(Mopsus charges in.)
mopsus
(grinning) Hah hah hah hah!
Surprised, are we?
kyra
Er... Yeah, a little.
Do I know you?
mopsus
Feigning ignorance, eh?
Hah hah hah hah!
You thought you would never see me
again... But I will have my revenge!
Follow me if you dare, huntress!
They will call this chapter of history,
The Glorious Charge of Mopsus!
Hah hah hah hah!
(Mopsus charges off.)
kyra
...Well, all right, then.
(Demeter appears behind Kyra.)
demeter
(smiling) Hiii!
(Kyra startles.)
kyra
GAH!!
demeter
Remember me?
It's me, the meter!
Get it? De-me-ter?
Hee hee...
So nice to see you
again, Kyra!
kyra
At least now I know what scared
all the animals away.
Too many people in the forest...
What's going on here today?
And who was that guy?
Do you know him?
demeter
(frowns) Ohh, yeah...
About him...
Er, it's kinda my fault.
kyra
What is your fault?
demeter
Come along.
I'll explain on the way.
kyra
On the way where? Look, can't this
wait until tomorrow?
I still need to go buy something for
dinner before it gets dark.
demeter
(smiles) Ooo, what are you gonna get?
I hope you get pistachio ice cream.
I loooooove pistachio ice cream.
kyra
What...? No, I'm going to buy
some fish. It's for dinner.
demeter
You can have pistachio ice cream
for dinner. I do it all the time.
kyra
Well, that's because you're... Y'know.
You.
(Demeter jumps to attention.)
demeter
(serious) Oh! But before we can go get ourselves
some delicious ice cream (pistachio),
we have to talk about you, everyone you
love and the world itself being in danger.
kyra
......
I'm not getting home in
time for dinner, am I.
(Demeter takes Kyra to another section of forest.)
kyra
Whoa... What happened
to this place?
It looks... weird.
demeter
Yeah, uh... See, I've had
so much fun here, I thought it was only fair
I'd show you my house.
So I tried to open up a
pathway there, but uh...
I kinda sorta broke the
space-time continuum.
(smiles) Whoops! Hee hee...
kyra
...What does any of that mean?
demeter
(serious) Life and death are now united as one.
The spirits of those whose lives you took
have come back to seek vengeance.
kyra
Wait...
(Kyra starts.)
N-No way! I remember now!
That guy, he was...!
Wait, but does that mean...
The inquisition...
Dolus... Even--!
demeter
Yep. Even her.
Maybe.
(Kyra shakes.)
kyra
Nooooooooooo!
How do we stop it?!
Tell me how to stop it!
demeter
First, we should cross a portal
into an alternate dimension.
kyra
Ah, yes, that's what
I was thinking too.
demeter
It's not far.
I'll take you there.
But be wary.
They are out for blood...
kyra
Hope I have enough arrows for this.
Let me check my quiver...
demeter
(smiles) Don't worry. I've brought all your things
from the war.
Also brought your friends.
Even the ones you lost along the way!
That's the convenient part of all this.
Look, there they come.
(Apate, Soter, and Pheme approach. Pheme has her original bright-eyed appearance, even if she survived in the main campaign.)
On subsequent runs
apate
Kyra...
soter
(smiles) Ah, my bold, young friend!
'Tis good that we meet again!
In this new adventure, there are no
rules!
Therefore, we may once more fight
side by side, as one!
Is this not most joyous?
kyra
(scowls) Get the heck out of here,
Soter.
(Soter balks.)
soter
(frowns) Again?! Even now, on this second
wind, you would refuse me?!
You've let Alastor into your squad!
The hierophant!
Sandraudiga!
Sandrau friggin' diga!
Are you seriously drawing the line
at me at this point?!
kyra
Yes.
soter
......
kyra
And for the record, I didn't
want Sandraudiga.
She forced herself into my
squad. As she does.
soter
......
kyra
...What the heck...
(Demeter approaches.)
demeter
He's making puppy dog eyes, Kyra.
You have to let him join.
kyra
But...
He betrayed us...
I...
I don't like him, Demeter...
soter
......
apate
Just let him join already so
we can proceed, Kyra...
kyra
...Oh, what's the point...
Go ahead, tag along.
See if I care.
(Soter pumps his fist.)
soter
(smiles) Ahaha! In excelsis, or whatever
it was I said in Latin!
demeter
(smiles) Hurray! And it only took two laps
and recruiting the main villain!
pheme
Actually... Uh, if you don't
mind me chiming in...
I-I still kinda don't want
him to join.
You know... Victim of a
brutal murder and all...
kyra
(smiles) Great! Soter, hit the road.
(Soter balks.)
soter
(pouts) You're joking!
Y-You can't do this to me!
C'mon! I could be fun to have
around! Give me a chance!
The... The roster won't feel
complete if I don't join it!
pheme
Feels complete enough to me.
kyra
Yep. Sure does.
(Soter starts crying.)
soter
Boohoohoo!
Boohoohoohoo...!
(Soter leaves.)
demeter
(smiles) You're taking this better than
I expected, Kyra!
I should've known better than
to underestimate you.
kyra
Well, of course.
It's obvious what's happening.
I'm dreaming. Must've fallen asleep
when I sat in that tree's shade.
I'll wake up and chastise myself for
falling asleep when I had to hunt.
So, in the meantime...
I'll just have some fun!
demeter
Yeah, let's go with that!
That works!
apate
...Our foes approach.
This will be but a taste
of things to come...
But it would not do to
take this lightly.
Kyra? Let us prepare
for battle.
kyra
Okay!
I'll finally get to see what that
staff of Sandraudiga's does!
You know, the one you picked up
right before you--
apate
I lost it.
kyra
(frowns) Oh.
apate
I still have the essentials.
That will have to do.
kyra
...Aww.
kyra
Y-Yes. Of course, that's
exactly it, Pheme.
narrator
Welcome to the
Postgame!
I'm glad you have decided
to join us in this riveting
extra experience.
A couple things to note.
The postgame works on
a loop - when you finish
it, you will return here.
You will also be given
the option to return to
the start after completing
each level, if you want.
Every time, on this first
level, all absent units,
be dead or unrecruited,
will be returned to you.
No units are force
deployed, and Kyra and
Apate no longer cause
a game over on death.
On seize maps, any unit
may seize.
You may also visit camp,
where every conversation
in the game is available
to be read.
It is advised to restart camp
after viewing any one unit's
convos to avoid potential
issues.
Lastly, you may recruit
a number of
bonus units,
but these will not
appear at camp.
That's all. Sorry to have
bothered you. Hope you
enjoy yourself in this
wacky, wacky Postgame!
