(2.0) - Intro - (GS0)
[M0001]
NARRATOR: Long ago, the Giant Kharlan Tree, the essence of balance and order in
the world, withered and died.
By the will of the heavens, the world was cleaved in two.
(An image of Martel meeting with Lloyd and Colette)
NARRATOR: Many years later, the Chosen of Regeneration planted a new World Tree
to take the place of the withered Giant Kharlan Tree.
(An image of a new map)
NARRATOR: The birth of the New World Tree also brought about the unification of
Sylvarant and Tethe'alla.
The two words were now reborn as one.
(No image)
NARRATOR: The world was at the dawn of a bright new era.  Or so it seemed...
*Palmacosta*
(Flames rise up from every building.  A red boot steps on a roof.  The shadowy
Lloyd looks out over the ruins, then leaps.)
(The scene switches to a maple-haired girl running for her life, clutching a
red orb.  She stops under an awning to catch her breath.  She looks down at the
orb, a curious shape floating inside it.)
???: There she is!
(The girl looks up and starts running again.)
???: Seize her.  I'll follow Lloyd.
(The girl runs as four men in strange masks pursue.)
NARRATOR: With their high level of technological prowess, the Tethe'allan
civilization looked down upon the people of Sylvarant as barbarians.
The Sylvaranti blamed the Chosen of Regeneration for bringing this world
into being, as they turned their backs on the Church of Martel that supported
her.
Amidst all of this chaos, the world itself began to cry out.
(An image of a town covered in snow)
NARRATOR: Scorching hot deserts were blanketed with snow.
(An image of a barren, dried up town)
NARRATOR: Bountiful lakes dried up and withered.
(An image of a burning forest and a crashing ice mountain)
NARRATOR: Forests burned to ash, as glaciers melted into the sea.
(No image)
NARRATOR: These phenomena fanned the flames of dissatisfaction within the
hearts of the people, leading to the birth of a monster.
A resistance organization was formed by the oppressed people of Sylvarant
to defend themselves.
(An image of the Vanguard flag)
NARRATOR: United against the perceived evils of Tethe'alla and the Church of
Martel, they called themselves the Sylvaranti Liberation Front, the Vanguard.
(The perspective of a running person looking at the cobblestones; we can hear
heavy breathing.)
???: This way!  Hurry!
(The runner looks up to see a man and a woman, also out of breath)
WOMAN: [Y-]Yes.
MAN: Emil, hurry!  We must get away or we'll all be killed by Lloyd.
(The camera switches to the people's backs)
???: Who did you say is going to kill you?
(The man and woman turn around.  Lloyd stands at the top of some nearby stairs)
MAN: Lloyd Irving!
(Lloyd leers down at them, then draws his two katanas)
LLOYD: The people of Palmacosta have aided the Vanguard and undermined the
authority of the Church of Martel and the Chosen.
The punishment for this crime is death.
(On "death," Lloyd leaps at the couple.  The view switches to the black clouds
as the woman screams.)
???: Mom!
MAN: Emil, run!  Get away from here!
(The maple-haired girl hits a dead end, and the masked men surround her.  She
backs up against the wall, then presses the orb against her head, closing her
eyes.)
GIRL: Help me.  Help me, Ratatosk!
(The orb begins to glow, and white light engulfs everything.)
(The girl lies on the ground, a red glow coming from her forehead.)
???: Are you all right?
(The scene switches to a mysterious boy with blonde hair and gray eyes who
wears a lab coat.  The masked men lay nearby.)
(The girl slowly looks up, clutching at the glow.)
GIRL: Are you the one who saved me?
(The girl and the boy stare at each other for a few moments, and then a
mysterious howl echoes through town.  The boy turns and listens.)
GIRL: That's Tenebrae's howl.
BOY: I have to go.  (Starts to walk away, as if drawn by the noise)
GIRL: (Reaches out)  Wait!  What's your name?
(The boy comes across the man and woman, now slain in the street.  He looks
down at them, studying them.  He kneels over the woman, who suddenly stirs and
tries to look up.)
WOMAN: Emil, you came back.
Oh, dear.  I can't even see your face.
[I...]  I'm not going to last much longer.  But you, you have to live.
(She reaches up towards the boy, grabbing his knee)
WOMAN: You have to run before Lloyd comes back.
Go to Luin.  To your Aunt Flora.
Hurry.
(She falls back down and grows silent.  The boy stares at her for a while, then
slowly reaches out.)
BOY: [M...] Mom...
(Screen goes black)
BOY: (Wailing) Mom!

(2.1) - Chapter 1: World In Dischord (GS1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Luin*
EMIL: (Shakes head) I don't even know what you're talking about.
TENEBRAE: Well then, I suppose we'll see how long you last against the monster
by yourself.
EMIL: [B-]But--
TENEBRAE: Let me know if you change your mind.
EMIL: [I-]I'll make the pact.
TENEBRAE: Understood.
(Purple rays fly into Emil)
TENEBRAE: Emil, I command you.  Unleash the power within yourself.
Awaken, "Hunter of Evil!"
(Emil staggers and his clothes change.  A flash of white light fills the room)
*TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: "Hunter of Evil?"  Keep in mind this name never comes up
again.
AQUA: (Angrily) Spiteful Tenebrae!  What are you doing here?!
TENEBRAE: Let's go.
AQUA: What!  You wanna fight?!  You're gonna regret this!
(Emil speaks, but with a different voice)
R.EMIL: The only one who's gonna regret this is you.
(Emil opens his eyes to show blood-red eyes instead of his usual green ones)
R.EMIL: (Angrily clenches fists) Now, come on!
(Emil engages Aqua's monster in battle)
INSTRUCTIONS: Emil learned the base arte Demon Fang.  Use it with "B."
You can register up to four artes by combining "B" and the Control Stick.
Open the menu with "+" and select "Artes" to register.
Artes use TP.
Aside from items, TP will recover slightly with attacking and winning.
Base artes can be executed after a regular attack.  This ends the
explanation of artes.
EMIL: (Shakes head) Not much.
TENEBRAE: A brief explanation, then.  Long ago, the Giant Tree that sustained
our world withered, and the end of the world was upon us.
The Goddess Martel and the Hero Mithos managed to prevent this destruction
by dividing the world into two.
But two years ago Colette the Chosen successfully reunited the two
separated lands by sprouting the new World Tree to support the world.
While the world was divided in two, Lord Ratatosk transformed into his core
and became dormant.
MARTA: (Pushes up her bangs to reveal the red jewel) That's this core on my
forehead-- Ratatosk's core.
EMIL: (Panicked) [Y-]You mean that's the demon lord Ratatosk's egg?!
TENEBRAE: Lord Ratatosk is not a demon lord.  He was a summon spirit of the
Great Tree of old, and is the lord of all monsters.
MARTA: In order to awaken Ratatosk, we have to first awaken all of his
servants, the Centurions, by hatching them.
That's why we're on a journey looking for the Centurions' cores.
EMIL: Why can't Ratatosk stay asleep?
MARTA: If he's asleep, nature will be thrown off balance and destroy the world.
For instance Ratatosk's sleep is the reason why Lake Sinoa has dried up.
And without him around to oversee things, most monsters have cut ties with
the Centurions they serve.
So the monsters are running wild and causing the world's mana to fall out
of balance.
TENEBRAE: Even while Lord Ratatosk is dormant, the Centurions are supposed to
form ties with monsters and maintain order.
Yet, the Centurion of Water, Aqua, has allied with Richter, and is
neglecting her duties.
Which is precisely the reason why we have seen one water-related disaster
after another.  It's absolutely deplorable...
EMIL: If all this is true, then why do you have to fight?
TENEBRAE: Lord Ratatosk is exceedingly powerful.
Though they may not be as powerful as Ratatosk's core, Centurions' cores
still possess remarkable powers.
MARTA: Some people are trying to get the cores for their own selfish reasons.
TENEBRAE: Lloyd and Richter are among those people.  Lady Marta recovered
Ratatosk's core from them.
MARTA: But somehow the core managed to attach itself to my forehead.  To tell
you the truth, it's a bit frustrating.
TENEBRAE: Do you understand now?
EMIL: (Nods) [Y-]Yeah I guess.
(Looks down, thinking) But I still can't believe Richter would do something
like that.
*Luin*
TENEBRAE: I'll drop out of sight since my presence may draw unwanted attention.
EMIL: (Shocked) Oh, hey!  You're not one of the monsters that attacked the
people in town, are you?
TENEBRAE: [Hmph!]  Of course not.  Those monsters were lured to the village by
Lumen's core.
When Centurions are in their core state, they're unable to control their
powers.
This results in the disruption of the mana balance and throws nature into
chaos.
MARTA: (Turns to Emil) That's why I don't want to give the core to Lloyd or
Richter.
EMIL: (Slumps) I guess Centurions' cores are nothing but trouble.
TENEBRAE: How rude.
(Tenebrae disappears)
MARTA: (Walks closer to Emil) All right.  Why don't we go to your house for
now?
EMIL: (Shakes head) Oh.  [Um...]  We should first go tell the mayor what
happened with Richter.
MARTA: Okay.  Maybe we can ask him about Lloyd, too.  Let's go.
EMIL: (Nods) Yeah.
(Slumps, thinks) I don't want her to see me being yelled at by my aunt and
uncle.
EMIL: Hey, Tenebrae, are you here?
TENEBRAE: (Flies by) Yes, I'm right over here.
EMIL: [Huh?]  Where?
TENEBRAE: (Flies by again) Here.
EMIL: [Uh...] Over here?
TENEBRAE: (Flies by again) No, over here!
EMIL: Wait, you mean here?
MARTA: Tenebrae!  Stop teasing Emil!
TENEBRAE: How rude.  This is part of the training of a Knight of Ratatosk.
Let's see, where am I now? [Laughs craftily]
EMIL: [SIGH] Now I know why Aqua calls you "spiteful."
MARTA: Rats!  Here I was getting all ready to visit Emil's house, introduce
myself to his family, and make our status as a wonderful new couple official!
TENEBRAE: So that's why you demanded he take you to his home so suddenly.
MARTA: (Light bulb) I get it now!  Emil's so shy, he must be too embarrassed to
return home with his girlfriend.
TENEBRAE: That sounds like wishful thinking to me.
MARTA: Quiet, Tenebrae! (Bops Tenebrae)  That settles it.  I've got to get him
to like me more!
(Grabs Emil, beaming) Hey, Emil!  When's your birthday?
What's your favorite food?  Do you like girls with long or short hair
better?
EMIL: (Nervous) [H-]Hey, Marta!  Stop clinging to me!
TENEBRAE: I'm afraid this will be an unrequited love.
