*Lugina: Saw that comin'...
 	
*Lugina: Hey, Bertz. Those guys aren't stopping, just like we thought.
*Lugina: They may be annoying and dumb, but they still have considerable power.
 	
*Bertz: I see...
*Bertz: Well then, what shall we do now?
 	
*Lugina: I'll go with them.
 	
*Lugina: I'll report back with full details once everything's settled. Make sure to have my hefty reward waiting, or else...
 	
*Bertz: Ha ha ha, understood.
*Bertz: I'll be sure to prepare something, which I'm sure will more than satisfy you.
 	
*Lugina: One more thing, don't get in my way. Got it?
 	
*Bertz: As you wish.
*Bertz: I must ask, though, has there been a time when I have stood in your way?
 	
*Lugina: Too many to count.
 	
*Bertz: How cold.
*Bertz: I must be on my way, everyone. Please do take good care of my friend here.
*Bertz: I'll be leaving Fal Nerga.
*Bertz: Seria, I look forward to seeing you again.

*Seria: W-Wait! You can't just leave us with this weirdo!
 	
*Lugina: Who're you callin' a weirdo?!
 	
*Seria: You! Who else?!
*Seria: I don't recall anyone giving you permission to join us...
*Seria: You can't just strut on over like you belong here!
 	
*Lugina: C'mon, I'm saying I'll help you out. This is the part where you thank me for it.
 	
*Seria: Are you, even listening to me? You dummy!
 	
*Lugina: Quit your nagging! I don't care what you think.
 	
*Lugina: Karl, ! You two had a hard time without me around, huh?
*Lugina: With this dumb broad and that dismal girl over there, I'm shocked you were able to defeat anything.
 	
*Seria: Why, you...!
 	
*Karl: Ha ha, okay, that's enough you two.
*Karl: This is really nostalgic and all, but moving forward is more important right now.
*Karl: And I'm more than certain that having Lugina around will only help us with that goal.
 	
*Seria: You have a point...
 	
*Seria: But, he just shows up with that other weirdo, picks a fight with us...
*Seria: ...and then suddenly when the fight is over, he acts as if nothing's changed. Makes me sick!
*Seria: And let's not forget, Bertz didn't really seem to care about Lugina leaving him...at all!
*Seria: He's most definitely still an informant for the Elgaia Federation!
 	
*Karl: So what if he is?
*Karl: At least if he's on our side we can keep an eye on him. That only makes our lives easier, right?
 	
*Paris: That's an excellent point.
 	
*Karl: Bertz most likely already knows everything anyway.
*Karl: Lugina, you don't think that maybe Bertz has his sights on something different?
 	
*Lugina: Possibly.
 	
*Lugina: But, like I told you before, you can't take anything he says at face value.
*Lugina: If you let him get to you, you lose.
 	
*Karl: Ha ha, ain't that the truth. I mean, just look at me now.
 	
*Seria: You might be right, but...
 	
*Lugina: Let's keep moving.
*Lugina: If we don't hurry, Ark's going to release Karna Masta's seal.
 	
*Seria: Hold on a sec, who died and made you leader?!
*Seria: And what is Ark planning?! Have...have you met Ark here?! 
*Seria: I said wait!
 	
*Karl: Yup, I sure missed this.
*Karl: , Paris, let's go, too.
 	
*Paris: He he, it has been quite a while since we've all been together, hasn't it?
*Paris: Truth is, as I no longer have to do most of the talking, this puts me at ease.
 	
*Paris: Now then, shall we be off, ?

*Bertz: Now then, with this, we've driven Barion into a corner.
*Bertz: And if a certain someone decides to make her move when the time comes, then all the pieces will fall into place.
*Bertz: Lugina, Karl, and Paris are all moving as expected...
*Bertz: ...but I'm still unsure about Seria and....
*Bertz: Each and every time, the unpredictability of those two puts me on edge.
*Bertz: Hopefully everything will go according to plan...
