Flames in the Darkness - Misareaux Coast
Tenzen: So the Emptiness has now devoured Hakutei River...
???: With the waters gone, bandit tribes have little trouble staging raids across the border. 
Our empire's defenses are crumbling.
???: Lord Tenzen, your blade knows no equal. 
I beg of you to return and lead our soldiers into battle.
Tenzen: But my guiding flame has been extinguished...
???: We are aware of your situation. 
However, the emperor will grant you his forgiveness.
???: You need only conquer the barbarians that mass against us, and reignite the Phoenix Blade upon their flesh.
Tenzen: And if that is not enough?
???: Then it will be time to undertake our most desperate plan. 
Based on your information, we will invade the city of Jeuno.
???: Liberating the mothercrystals is the only way to stem the tide of Emptiness.
Tenzen: You speak truly. 
And yet I cannot return to our country. 
Not until I carry out the final duty entrusted to me by the noble Phoenix.
???: Final duty...?
Tenzen: When the Phoenix Blade released its energy to shield us from Bahamut, I could hear every single voice.
Tenzen: The voices of all the children who, in my weakness, I failed to save.
Tenzen: If I betray them here, it will be an unforgivable insult to their faith in me. 
I must strive until the end, with the very last spark of this life I have pledged.
Tenzen: I will secure the safety of the mothercrystals upon which rests the fate of Vana'diel...
???: Understood, Lord Tenzen. 
Your words will be relayed.
Tenzen: ... 
Player name, I did not see you. 
Are you alone?
Tenzen: I, too, have found myself alone.
Tenzen: These sudden separations are truly a lonely experience, don't you agree?
Tenzen: Phoenix has ordered me to lead you to the fifth mothercrystal.
Tenzen: And we must hurry.
Tenzen: There is little remaining of the time her sacrifice has bought us.
Tenzen: Let us board the airship for Jeuno.
Flames in the Darkness - Sealion's Den
Sueleen: You just missed them! 
Not more than a couple of minutes ago, an airship from Jeuno came and took Prishe and her friends away.
Sueleen: Ulmia said that they should wait for you, but Prishe said you'd find your own way back to the mainland...so they left.
Sueleen: I wonder if that means they'll be sending another ship...
Sueleen: If that's the case, those three Tarutaru should have waited instead of hiding away in those barrels.
Flames in the Darkness - Ru'Lude Gardens
Wolfgang: Player name! 
It appears you caught up with the armada.
Wolfgang: I heard the report. 
The attack against Bahamut failed, but we have dealt him a critical blow.
Wolfgang: Lady Esha'ntarl is to join the main fleet and lead our forces in a mass assault.
Wolfgang: She mentioned that she would like to meet with you all before the attack commences. 
You are to meet her for a confidential briefing in the tavern in Upper Jeuno.
Wolfgang: Do not keep Lady Esha'ntarl waiting. 
May victory in battle be yours.
Flames in the Darkness - Upper Jeuno
Mildaurion: I am glad to see that you have all survived unscathed.
Shikaree Z: You...!
Jabbos: You are...the priest...!?
Mildaurion: Nice to see you both again after so long.
Mildaurion: It's been twenty years since I've seen you, Shikaree Z. 
And a hundred years for you, Jabbos, if I'm not mistaken.
Mildaurion: And you, the man of extraordinary luck.
Louverance: I am most delighted to be in you presence once more, Cardinal Mildaurion.
Mildaurion: I would love to celebrate this long overdue reunion; however, now is not the time.
Mildaurion: Lord Bahamut has revealed to us an unsettling truth--the Keeper of the Apocalypse waits in the celestial captial of Al'Taieu.
Mildaurion: Until now, the Armathrwn Society had believed the city of Al'Taieu destroyed.
Mildaurion: Judging by the counsel of the terrestrial avatars and the memories of Selh'teus, however, we can assume that the celestial capital still exists.
Mildaurion: The society is now focused on gaining further information. 
To this end, the objective of our next operation is to capture--not kill--Lord Bahamut.
Mildaurion: I, Esha'ntarl, will join the main fleet of warships and head once more to the ends of the earth.
Mildaurion: But there is another important matter that requires our immediate attention--a matter involving the fifth mothercrystal.
Mildaurion: Someone has apparently severed the fifth crystal from the Crystal Line.
Louverance: When the boy, Selh'teus, appeared, was not this Crystal Line the conduit he traversed with Lord Bahamut?
Prishe: Just a damn moment! 
So now we can't use this pipeline gizmo to get to the fifth mothercrystal!?
Prishe: How are we supposed to get to Al'Taieu and wipe the floor with the Keeper of the Apocalypse!?
Tenzen: How, indeed. 
In any event, we must search for an alternative route now that Phoenix is no longer with us.
Shikaree Z: Wait. 
Mildaurion, you mentioned that "someone" isolated the fifth mothercrystal?
Shikaree Z: Who is rrresponsible for this act of sabotage?
Mildaurion: I do not know. 
The only people capable of such a feat would be either Selh'teus, or Nag'molada...
Mildaurion: I currently have Jeunoan troops preparing to invade Movalpolos.
Jabbos: M...Movalpolos...!?
Jabbos: The Moblins...are in danger...!? 
I must...leave...immediately!
Louverance: Jabbos has spent a century living with the Moblins in an effort to avert this sort of development.
Louverance: This is most worrisome. I shall follow him and see he does not come to harm.
Shikaree Z: I will accompany you!
Mildaurion: I realize that Jabbos has tried for years to convince the Moblins that they are not the children of Promathia.
Mildaurion: But for the sake of the mothercrystal, the Moblins cannot be left to their own devices.
Mildaurion: If he fails to persuade them otherwise, they may attempt to destroy the fifth crystal.
Tenzen: Destroy the crystal!?
Mildaurion: The mothercrystal is at both the beginning and the end of a person's journey in this life.
Mildaurion: After learning this fact from Jabbos, the Moblins now believe that destroying the mothercrystal will spell the end for the children of Altana.
Ulmia: How could Jabbos fail to mention something so important!?
Prishe: He had no choice. 
If that kinda thing became public knowledge, Movalpolos would be gutted and all the Moblins slaughtered.
Ulmia: !
Prishe: Miss Mildaurion. 
I'm not in a position to be giving advice to a ten thousand-year-old, but just hear me out.
Prishe: Killing every last Moblin might make this mess all nice and neat, but it's not what I'd call a solution.
Prishe: Isn't this the exact thing that Bahamut is trying to do?
Tenzen: ...
Mildaurion: You are right... 
Nothing good can come of this...
Mildaurion: I will plead with the Armathrwn Society to find a peaceable solution to this problem.
Prishe: Thanks, Miss Mildaurion!
Mildaurion: But from this point onward I will be joining the society to monitor its actions.
Mildaurion: My movements will be limited, but rest assured that I will be watching over you always. 
Now go, my brave companions. The fate of the world and her people is in your hands.
Prishe: Alrighty! 
Ulmia, Tenzen, Player name! 
On to Movalpolos!
Prishe: Everyone who wants to scrap it out for the ultimate victory, follow me!!!
Flames in the Darkness - Upper Jeuno
Jabbos: Swipostik! 
Swipostik!!!
Jabbos: Chekochuk!
Jabbos: Noooooooo!!!
Jabbos: You... 
You...did this...!
Prishe: Whoa, hold on, Jabbo-man! 
They didn't do squat!
Cherukiki: Nag'molada...
Kukki-Chebukki: He did it!
Makki-Chebukki: He's a bad, bad man!
Cherukiki: Waaah!
Kukki-Chebukki: Waaah!
Makki-Chebukki: He's a bad, bad man!
Ulmia: It is all right, children. Prishe and I are here now. We will not allow Nag'molada to harm you.
Prishe: Come out, you lousy rat! Come out and fight like a man!
Tenzen: They're still alive! 
Come, give me a hand!
Jabbos: ...
Prishe: I'm really sorry, Jabbos. It's all my fault. If I hadn't told Nag'molada about Movalpolos, none of this would have happened.
Prishe: I should have known that creep would do something this low...
Jabbos: ...
Jabbos: You...knew that...he was planning...to call forth...the Wyrmking...
Jabbos: You were only...trying to stop...him...
Prishe: ...
Ulmia: According to the Tarutaru, Nag'molada disappeared down the path the Moblins cleared for Selh'teus.
Louverance: However, it seems as if he caused a cave-in to prevent us from following him...
Louverance: The Moblins' wounds are severe. It would be impossible for them to aid us in clearing the tunnel...
Shikaree Z: He missed their vital organs on purpose. 
He knew exactly what he was doing. Nag'molada is toying with us...
Jabbos: Arrrgh! 
I will not...forgive...him for what...he has done to...my friends... 
Nag'molada...you won't get...away...
Prishe: Hold on!
Shikaree Z: What do you think you are doing!?
Jabbos: What...does it...look like...!?
Jabbos: When I'm...through with him...he'll know...the meaning...of pain!
Louverance: Calm down, my friend. We all understand how you feel, but you will never be able to clear this tunnel by yourself.
Jabbos: But if I...don't...who...will...?
Prishe: Dammit! What in Altana's name are we supposed to do now, huh!?
Tenzen: No matter the hardship, there will always be a path lighted for the righteous.
Tenzen: When the land no longer gives an answer, we must look to the heavens for guidance.
Tenzen: Phoenix will be our guiding light. She will show us the way.
Tenzen: I do not know how, and I do not know when, but I know she will...
Ulmia: Look to the heavens...? 
Could the path we are searching for...be located in the heavens?
Prishe: Well, there you go! If pushin' gets you nowhere, start pullin'! THat's what I always say!
Prishe: C'mon! Let's go see our buddy Cid. He'll help us out!
Prishe: Jabbos! If you really want to get some revenge, stop your whinin' and come with us!
