Part 2: Destiny
Scene 1: Home Sweet Home?
As the player nears Kalder, the party notices a large column of smoke rising from the distance where Kalder should be.
The party has now arrived at Kalder. Everything around them has been destroyed. Burnt bodies can be seen in the town square (including the mangled corpse of the little girl that DERRIK rescued in Part 1: Scene 2 — she is clutching her fathers' hand).
ANNA: MOM!
< ANNA runs north off-screen, presumably to her house. >
< DERRIK and ALEX run to their house. Camera follows DERRIK as he's in the lead. >
D: NO! MOTHER! MOM! GRAMPS! Alex, what's happend?!
A: I don't know…
< DERRIK runs over to ALEX and falls into his arms. >
D: Fix it! You always fixed things for me! Brother please, make it not true!
A: …I…Derrik, I can't fix this…
< DERRIK shove ALEX back then falls to his hands and knees. >
D: What's wrong with you! FIX IT!
The Player now gains control of ALEX. Attempting to talk to DERRIK only gets a "…".
ANNA: Mom…
{ ANNA is aware of ALEX behind her }
Anna: Who did this?D: I…Think I know…
< DERRIK appears on scene >
Alex: Who?! Who did this?!
D: Mazzeroth.
< Anna and Alex do a "supprize" thing >
Alex: Are you serious?
Anna: How do you know?
D: Somehow, I just know. I feel it in my body.
Alex: For some reason…I think i believe you.
Anna: me too…
Alex: What do we do about it?
D: Alex, It's up to us. We're the last mages! everyone knows only a mage can fight Mazzeroth.
Alex: Wait a minute! We don't even know a SINGLE spell, and you want to fight off MAZZEROTH?!
D: We don't know any spells now, but, once we get that spellbook…
Alex: Learn Magic from a book, eh? I don't know… sounds dangerous…
Anna: Well, large, mean, dragons are dangerous too! Which would you prefer?
D: She's got a point, Alex…
Alex: Ugh! Fine. I guess… we have to do this together.
<D walks to Alex and puts hand on shoulder, if pos.>
D: Mages? Brothers?
Alex: RIGHT! Let's go find that book!
Anna: Wait! I have to get something!
<Anna exit north.>
D: What does she need to get from a burnt down house?
Alex: Probably make-up or something. She won't know it's melted by now.
< ANNA enter from north, with a box of sorts. >
D: What's that?
Anna: It's important….
< ANNA puts down and opens box. Inside is a bow and arrows, along with herbs, and money >
Alex: A bow and arrows? Wait, you're not going to…
Anna: Yep! It was my Mom's. She taught me how to use it.
D: Wait, before i trust you with that thing, aim at something… let me see what you got…
< Anna aims and fires and the bow hits her in the face. She falls on her ass again with the dizzy circles. >
Alex: <head down> UGH!
< ANNA recovers >
Anna: Hehe, I'm out of practice…
D: Look, Anna, You can take it with us, but you're not useing it till we teach you how to.
And you're not fighting either, you're only using it when you have to.Anna: Wait a minute Mister! Do you think that just because i'm a girl, i'm not able to fight?!
Alex: No. Not because you're a girl. Becuase you're Anna.
< ANNA hits ALEX >
D: Uhg, look, Let's get moving. This place gives me the creeps. I don't want to come back again.
<D and party move out. Just as they are about to exit town, however, they are faced with a Boss monster: fire-breathing-lion-type-thing. >
Anna: What do I do?!
D: "You" don't do anything. C'mon Alex!
Alex: Right behind ya!
< Player enters battle without ANNA. Player fights until party is at bare minimum. >
< Just as the party is about to be defeated, Warren's Avatar appears and finishes the battle. >
After the battle, the DERRIK and ALEX can be seen standing where they entered the battle.
Alex: Who was that?
<D recognises the man from his previous vision.>
D: That was Warren!
Alex: Are you serious?
D: Was he…protecting us?
Anna: he must be…
Alex: Well…What do we do now?
D: I guess we should…no, we MUST find the spellbook…and defeat Mazzeroth!
< Now, by some miricle, a piece of paper blows in on the wind. IT'S THE MAP! >
<Anna picks it up>
Anna: What's this? It looks important…
<Alex and D walk up and bug out eyes>
AL + D: IT'S THE MAP!!!
Al: okay, let me have it.
D: Wait a minute! You're the one who got us lost in the first place!
Anna: That's okay, I'll read it!
<D looks at anna then back at alex>
D: Alex, read the map.
<D + Al walk off the screen>
Anna: Wait! <runs behind them, off the screen>
< fade to black. When the screen comes back up, you are outside the town again. >
< World Map window is shown. >
The player now resumes control of the party again. They should have a general idea of where to go from here.
Scene 2: Times Of the Past
[ Silent ]
Once the player finds themselves at the camp, they lose controll of party again.
D, Al, and An, find themselves in a dusty, old building, with lots of books, candles and some weapons.
Al: This is just great! how will we know which one of these books it is?
D: Start looking i guess…
<party starts to look arround. Anna is looking on the table closest to veiw of the
player. the pickes up a bottle, examines it, and sniffs it.>
<dizzy symbols appear above Anna's head, she falls over, D +Al turn around see this and shakes
thier heads, they then continue searching.>
D: What's this?
<D takes a sheet off a rack. on the rack are weapons. (swords, axes, etc.)>
(D gets a weopon's upgrade at this point. )
(Suddenly, a cat appears, and jumps on Derrik's shoulder.)
D: What the hell?!
Al: it's a cat! What's it doing here?
<Cat jumps on top of the tallest bookshelf, and knocks over a heavy book.
It lands on Alex's head.>
Al: Oooff! <Alex falls>
D: What's that?
Derrik and Anna go over to Alex, but only to get the book.
D: <picks up book> A bit dusty…. <blows on it, dust goes in Anna's face, she sneezes,
now she is also on the floor, and D is ignoring them both, and fliping thought the book.>
D: Reciting: "Yur palin ect ger sir mage miniches. Mar kal Minishesho."
It's in that old language… I can't read it…
(just so we know: "this book is for the mage who studies. use it wisely.")
(Al and An have recovered, and are standing next to D, looking at the book with him.)
An: There's more words here, on the front… "Chanka, Uriv, Urcha, Keril…"
("Fire, Water, Earth, Wind")
D: <continueing> "ker pelaner vebernas, heletir barimas…."
("he continues to be born, he travels to heal…")
Al: It's no use, we don't know what it says. how do we know if it's warren's?
<Cat jumps down from bookshelf onto the open book. Stars Mewing.>
D: <Drops book, and it opens to a different page.>
D: <goes after cat> C'mere you!
Al <joins in cat fight ^_^>
(While D and Al are fighting with the cat, Anna picks up book.)
Anna: "Jelga ma… ter warren… WARREN?!"
D and Al: "WARREN?!"
D: where does it say that?
Anna: <points> There.
Together: "Jelga ma ter WARREN!"
Al: Jackpot!
D and Al: <Dance of Joy / Genrou Koji dance.>
Anna: <deep in thought, (well, shallow in thought…)>
Anna: Okay guys, i may not be that smart, but i have a question…
If you can't read the old writing…how are you supposed to learn
the spells?
D and Al: <stop abruptly, face-vault.>
D: Gaah!
<Cat jumps suddenly and knocks D down. D falls unconcious.>
D: <fall, crash, whatever.>
Al: stupid cat! Derrik, buddy, you okay?
D:…
An: I guess not…
(Rumbling can be heard. the screen shakes.)
Al: Anna, what did you touch?!
An: I didn't touch anythi—-
(The floor falls through, and the screan goes to black.)
------------------—Part 5: Friend of Monsters.
(Screen comes back up, and you can see D, Al, and An, all unconcious on the floor.)
(A strange young man with red hair can be seen walking up to them. He starts to take
one of the party and pulls them to the bottom of the screen)
(Screen fades to black)
(Screen comes back up. Danko is tending to the Party members. the Party members are on straw mats
on the floor.)
D: <waking up> Where… am I now?
An and Al soon follow in waking up.
An: Jeez, how'd we get here? It's all your fault, Derrik!
D: Is not! I didn't do a thing!
Al: well, the cat knocked you over, and i guess when you fell it weakened the floor and
casused us to fall.
D:See! It's not my fault, it's the cat's fault! Damn that cat!
<Danko enters from the bottom of the screan.>
Dan: Niji no fault!
D: uh.. Pardon me? Who are you?
Dan: ah…forgive. I speak not long time. It…not Niji Fault.
(The cat enters from the bottom of the screan and goes to Danko)
An: Oh! That's the cat's name! CUUUUUUTE!
(Cat walks to Anna and An plays with it.)
Al: Oh, i get it. It's not the cat's fault. That's what you're saying right?
<Danko nods>
D: Uh, Hey, What's your Name?
Dan:??? Name? ah, name. I Name is Danko.
D: Danko, eh? My name's Derrik. Nice to meet you.
Dan:…nice to…meet you…
Al: Hey, buddy, Where are we?
Dan: Where we are….is….I home.
(In the background Anna is doing funny things with the cat.)
D: You live here?
Dan: Yes.
(distant noise can be heard: rumbling)
Al: <to D> Hey, did you hear that?
(Rumbling louder)
Dan: (eyes!) Quick! not safe!
(Dan runs off, exit right)
D: What?
<a big hairy, scary monster appears… looking somewhat like a mutated mole,
enter boss fight>
<Party (D, Al, An) fight with this thing for a while, but it's too much)
Anna: Oowww…. this hurts….
Al: I can't take this! We're though!
Der: But…There must…be a way…
<Enter Danko, riding a big, goat-like thing. (not scary) >
Danko: <use CHEBI attack with KINETUK>
<big mole dies>
<exit battle screen>
<D, An, Al, are looking hurt>
Dan: Are you Okay?
D: I…Think…maybe…
Dan: (shakes Head) I help you out… then you get hurt again… strange people…
D: Hey, Danko, what was that thing you were riding? It sure helped us out.
Dan: Oh! my friend!
Al: your FRIEND?
Dan: When I need help, I ask my friends to help me.
An: There's more than one of those things?!
Dan: Yes. I make friends a lot.
D: Does your friend have a name?
Dan: Yes. KINETUK. He's my favorite.
Al: Uh-huh…um, Listen, Why don't we just rest the rest of the day and set out tomorrow?
Dan: That is good idea.
D: Alright then. Danko, can we stay here tonight?
Dan: Yes. Are you my friends now?
D: Yeah, sure, but you're not hopping on my back okay?
Dan: Okay!
<Fade out>

Group wakes up in Danko's Cave.
AL: Well, Derrik, what do you think we should do? We've got the book, but where do we go from here?
D: I don't know….but…something tells me there's something special about these caves. I'd like to
explore them further.
An: No Fair! I want to get out of here!
Al: Cool it, Anna. We'll find the exit while we're exploring, RIGHT, Derrik?
