*Tilith: We did it, !
*Tilith: I still can't believe we actually had to take on two gods at the same time.
*Tilith: But for my it must've been a breeze, right?
 	
*Karl: *Huff* *huff* *huff* Looks like we somehow made it out alive from this one too.
*Karl: That's for ya.
 	
*Tilith: Karl, you okay?
*Tilith: I mean, you said you barely made it out alive.
 	
*Karl: Yeah, it looks like it wasn't just one god we had to fight.
*Karl: Seria, Lugina, and I all had to fight some of our own too, but
*Karl: we felt a way stronger presence coming from over here, so we ran over as fast as we could.
*Karl: Looks like we had nothing to worry about though.
 	
*Tilith: What?! Seriously?!
*Tilith: Is everybody else okay?
 	
*Karl: Yeah, we're all okay somehow.
*Karl: They should be here soon...
 	
*Seria: Don't run in front of me! You're getting in my way!
*Lugina: Shut up! You're the one that keeps getting in my way!
 	
*Karl: See? Nothing to worry about.
 	
*Tilith: Yep! Those two are totally fine.
 	
*Seria: *Huff* *huff* *huff* Ugh... *Huff* *huff* *huff* 
*Seria: I-I-m...definitely... faster...than you...are...
 	
*Lugina: Haha! Why don't you catch your breath. I can't understand a word you're saying.
 	
*Seria: Sh-Shut up! If I won, then I won!
 	
*Lugina: Nobody said it was a race.
 	
*Seria: Oh, is Lugi making up excuses for losing at the last moment?
 	
*Lugina: Hey, what'd you say to me?
 	
*Karl: Hey, you two! Enough already!
 	
*Karl: successfully defeated those gods from another world.
 	
*Tilith: Everyone, you all worked so hard.
*Tilith: However, my put so much into this fight!
*Tilith: It wasn't easy for us to simultaneously defeat two gods at the same time, you know!
 	
*Lugina: Hah, I don't wanna hear about what you guys did or didn't do.
*Lugina: So, did the path to Vriksha open up already?
 	
*Tilith: Umm... Looks like nothing has changed on that end so far...
 	
*Lugina: Don't tell me we did all of this for nothing.
*Lugina: Also, where did Paris run off to?
 	
*Tilith: Paris said that she had something to take care of by herself, and then just left.
 	
*Lugina: Rats! That woman ran away yet again!
 	
*Karl: Don't talk like that. Maybe she had some errands she had to run.
 	
*Lugina: How do you figure that?
*Lugina: She always disappears when things get tough!
 	
*Eerie Voice: So that is the extent of your power.
 	
*Seria: That voice...
*Seria: Zurg!

*Zurg: It looks like you somehow defeated all of the gods from the other world.
 	
*Karl: Judging by the way you're speaking, I'd say you knew there'd be so many gods coming after us.
*Karl: Not only did you test , but us too. What do you want from us?
 	
*Zurg: I wanted to see what you were truly capable of.
*Zurg: One could say, you might have what it takes to serve my master, Afla Dilith.
 	
*Lugina: What is that supposed to mean...?
 	
*Zurg: I will give you Summoners a choice.
*Zurg: You can swear loyalty to my master and pledge your lives to help us rebuild this world into a pure one.
*Zurg: Or you can refuse my offer and relinquish your lives.
 	
*Seria: In short, you want us to betray everyone and join Afla Dilith's side, right?
*Seria: There's no way we would ever join a god who wants to destroy other humans!
*Seria: How can a god be so stupid?
 	
*Zurg: Foolish human.
*Zurg: I have no need for your ignorance. Though your power is true.
*Zurg: That's why I'm willing to reveal the truth to you.
 	
*I also would like to hear this truth that the disciple of a Fallen God has to say.
 	
*Tilith: Eri and Paris!
 	
*Paris: ...
 	
*Eriole: What truth could the Fallen Gods that have been disturbing the peace of Grand Gaia possibly know?
*Eriole: At any rate, this truth would be one that you reconstructed with your own lies to fit your own purposes, wouldn't it?
*Eriole: Summoners from Akras Hall.
*Eriole: Pay no attention to his nonsense!
*Eriole: You have Lord Lucius behind you, savior of the human race.
*Eriole: And besides that, you have the Goddess Tilith by your side too, do you not?
*Eriole: Or perhaps do you plan to betray Lady Tilith, whom you have fought alongside with this whole time?
*Eriole: I believe there is not one among you who would do something so foolish.
 	
*Zurg: ...
 	
*Seria: Of course.
*Seria: We obviously have no plans on turning our backs on Tilith.
*Seria: And we don't need you to be telling us that either!
 	
*Tilith: Seria!
 	
*Seria: Wha- Tilith! Get off me!
 	
*Karl: My answer is the same as Seria's.
*Karl: You feel the same way too, don't you, ?
*Karl: And Lugina, what about you?
 	
*Lugina: I don't know.
*Lugina: Do I have to say what I'm thinking in front of all of you?
*Lugina: But more importantly, Mr. Bigwig over there.
*Lugina: I don't like you making my decisions for me, all right?
*Lugina: Well, it's not like I care about what else this disciple has to say anyway.
 	
*Karl: Yeah, I'm with you. Mr. Zurg, sir.
*Karl: Now that you have our answer, what do you plan to do about it?
*Karl: Are you gonna take our lives, just like you mentioned before?
 	
*Karl: Of course. But I don't plan to make it easy on you.
 	
*Zurg: I am a disciple who will live for a long time.
*Zurg: Unlike you, I'm not in a hurry.
*Zurg: After I have revealed the truth to you, I will ask you once more.
 	
*Eriole: Even if we were to take forever to decide?
 	
*Zurg: Foolish human.
*Zurg: I already know when you will be ready to make your decision.
*Zurg: It is not yet time to reveal the truth to you.
 	
*Zurg: I should look forward to our next encounter.

*Eriole: Hmph, it'd be nice if we really got that chance.
 	
*Eriole: Summoners.
*Eriole: For having defeated the gods from another world, you have my gratitude.
*Eriole: Thanks to you, the power that was blocking our passage to Vriksha has disappeared.
*Eriole: I'm sure Lord Lucius will open the path there for us now.
 	
*Tilith: H-How do you know that, Eri?
 	
*Eriole: My apologies.
*Eriole: This is only an assumption.
*Eriole: I have no means of knowing what Lord Lucius's movements are.
 	
*Tilith: I see. You had me there.
*Tilith: But hey, everyone!
*Tilith: I can feel it now too.
*Tilith: I can feel that we'll be in Vriksha soon!
 	
*Lugina: But until that happens, I'm gonna take a well deserved rest.
 	
*Lugina: Because unlike some uppity people around here, I'm too tired from fighting those gods from earlier.
 	
*Paris: Grr...
 	
*Lugina: Heh, cat got your tongue?
 	
*Eriole: Summoner Lugina, my assistant is a bit busy as well.
*Eriole: I would like you to please understand that we cannot move as freely as you do.
 	
*Lugina: What a pathetic excuse.
*Lugina: But whatever.
 	
*Lugina: Hey! !
*Lugina: I'm gonna go back to Elgaia just for a bit.
*Lugina: I'm gonna let the Summoners' Hall know of all the good deeds I performed this time.
 	
*Lugina: And while I'm at it, I'll fill them in on yours, too.
 	
*Seria: Are you trying to pass off his exploits as your own?
*Seria: Seriously, you're quite pathetic.
 	
*Lugina: What was that?!
 	
*Seria: .
*Seria: I'll go back to Elgaia too to prepare for our next battle.
 	
*Seria: And Tilith!
 	
*Tilith: Who, me?
 	
*Seria: Yes, you!
*Seria: It looks like you have a lot on your mind...
*Seria: ...but you're not that bright, so don't push yourself too hard!
*Seria: We've got your back, so try and stay your usual bubbly self!
 	
*Karl: Just look at her, trying to tell a goddess that she's "not that bright"...
 	
*Tilith: He he he...
*Tilith: Thanks, Seria.
*Tilith: I knew you were a nice girl.
 	
*Seria: A-Am not!
*Seria: It's just making me crazy that you're acting so weird!
 	
*Karl: Hahaha. That's just like you, Seria.
 	
*Karl: .
*Karl: I, too, will return to Elgaia for a short while.
*Karl: There's something I need to check up on.
*Karl: 
*Karl: Anyway, next time we meet, let's wipe that Afla Dilith out!
 	
*Tilith: !
*Tilith: I'm sorry that I wasn't much help this time.
 	
*Tilith: Next time I'll be back to my energetic and pretty old self, so you can count on me!
*Tilith: And I, I believe in you wholeheartedly, .
 	
*Eriole: Looks like and all of his Summoner companions have gone back.
*Eriole: Hmph, they're quite the interesting bunch.
 	
*Paris: Certainly.
 	
*Eriole: Loosen up.
*Eriole: I'm thankful to you for all you do.
*Eriole: Despite the rough start this alliance had with everyone fighting so much in the beginning...
*Eriole: ...you've managed to pull them together into quite the cohesive group.
 	
*Paris: I-I'm not worthy of such kind words, thank you sir!
 	
*Eriole: I'm counting on you to see things continue this way.
 	
*Paris: Y-Yes sir!
 	
*Eriole: She's gone.
*Eriole: Dark Figure. How about you come out now?
*Eriole: The last stage of our plan is finally near.
*Eriole: It's about time I start making you play your part.
 	
*Dark Figure: I know.
*Dark Figure: Preparations are already done.
*Dark Figure: Now we just have to wait for the right time to make our move.
 	
*Eriole: And it is at that time that people will welcome a new world!
*Eriole: The world awaits the arrival of its new hero!
*Eriole: Hahaha...
 	
*Eriole: Mwahahaha...
*Eriole: Mwahahahahahahaha!
