Intro[]
- What's going on? What happened?
- From the sensation just now, I suspect we may have gone through a warp.
- Yeah, it felt just like it did when I use a teleporter.
- When the Great Oak Tree collapsed, it must have released enough energy to cause a dimensional distortion.
- That whole area must already have been fairly unstable, thanks to the Fracture and the gold chains.
- Then where are we now? Is it possible to get down from here?
- I can't tell. The armor shutters are still covering the windows.
- Excuse me! Can I have everyone's attention? I have important information to share!
- Oh, Doctor! What's the situation?
- The atmosphere is breathable and non-toxic. Our exterior looks like... THIS! Shutters, open!
- Hmm. Plains, forests... And a big tree. It certainly doesn't look anything like our time period...
- Is anyone else getting weird vertigo or something? Like, that tree looks huge.
- Huh! You're right, its size is incredible. And there, at its base... Is that a town?
- It reminds me of the giant oak, except far more beautiful. Can you imagine picnicking under its branches when it's in bloom?!
- Hell yeah, flower-viewin'! I would get SO trashed.
- Hmmm... Something about that tree looks familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
- Let's descend and see for ourselves. If there's a settlement there, I imagine they may have information useful to us.
- Good idea. We can start by talking to the locals.
- Let's do it. Doctor, can you move the Dragonturtle a little closer to the tree and wait there on standby?
- Will do. I'll make sure she's in good shape and ready to go. Let me know if you run into anything. Excitement-wise.
(Everyone arrives at Halure)
- Huh. Will ya look at that. There really is a town here.
- Are those cherry blossoms? Swag.
- Seriously. I may not be as Japanese as Ogami, but a picnic basket and a bottle of sake sound pretty darn good right about now.
- Ms. Aty! How about an Oden Sandwich as a picnic snack?
- I think that may count as more of an entrée...
- We're not here on vacation. The first thing on our list ought to be to find out where we are.
- Besides... There's something strange about this town.
- Yeah. Where are the people? Doesn't anyone ever step outside here?
- Right now, our first priority is gathering intel.
- Then an inn or a tavern would be the natural place to start. A town of this size ought to have one.
- Good idea! Look for an inscrutable sign like "The Dangling Fishwife" or "The Two-Tailed Fox".
- A sign? You mean like the one on that building there?
- It certainly looks like an inn. Looks like luck is on our side for once. Let's check it out.
- Perhaps we will find new allies to recruit.
- Oh yeah, that happens in RPG taverns all the time. Man, this is so cool!
(Everyone enters the inn)
(Yuri and Flynn arrive)
- Phew! Finally back in once piece.
- Phew, indeed. Never thought we'd find ourselves venturing into strange worlds again.
- If it's not spawn of the Adephagos, it's mysterious gold chains... We're never gonna have a day of peace, are we.
- Well, that's why you've got to focus on just doing what you can. First up... A delivery.
- Huh? A delivery?
- Lady Estellise had some new garments made, so I've got to drop them off.
- Clothes? Sheesh, Estelle, they're Imperial Knights, not your personal delivery service.
- Guarding a princess is tougher than I thought.
- Eh, I need to patrol this town anyway, so I figure I might as well kill two birds with one stone.
- Oh, right. There's been a bit of a monster infestation around here recently, hasn't there?
- Yup. We've asked everyone to avoid stepping outdoors until it's confirmed safe.
- Not only that, we've had reports that an unidentified crimson airship has been spotted in the area.
- Really? You don't suppose someone from another world has made their way into ours, do you?
- Man, out of the frying pan... Well, we'd better get Estelle to stop wandering off, then.
- I hear sometimes she slips out all on her own to go buy milk and whatever.
- Huh? Wait, Yuri. Over there. Isn't that...
- See? What'd I tell you?
(The camera pans to Estelle)
- ...
- Is that... Lady Estellise?
- Yup, no question. Hey, Estelle!
- ...
- ...Something doesn't seem quite right.
- Yeah. I'm starting to get some real bad vibes.
(Yuri and Flynn arrive at the hill Estelle was just at)
- Lady Estellise is... gone?!
- This is starting to set off my warning bells. You think Estelle's mixed up in something?
- Hey Estelle, where are you? Stop hiding and get out here!
- If you're there, say something!
(Chapter title screen appears)
(Segata says "Sega Sataan, Shiro!" in the background but there is no text box in game)
- Huh?! Wh-Who's there?!
Segata (Off-screen)
- You! Young ones! Know you the joy only possible through serious devotion?!
- It's coming from up there!
(Segata lands in front of Yuri and Flynn)
- Yes? What is it?!
- What? We... Huh? Why are you asking us? What are you even doing?
- Who ARE you?
- ...Segata.
- Segata? Is that your name?
- A man who loves himself, who believes in himself, who surpasses himself.
- Buh?
- A man who has mastered the art of play, and now stands at its zenith.
- Play?
- That is who I am. That... is Segata Sanshiro!
- ...Uh, Flynn? Do you know who this guy is?
- If my guess is right... I suspect he's a man who loves himself, believes in himself, and surpasses himself.
- And he's also mastered the art of play, stands at its zenith, that sort of thing. In other words, Segata Sanshiro.
- ...You've got no idea either, do you.
- Fine, Mr. Zenith Playmaster. Tell me, what were you doing in Halure's tree?
- That... is for you to discover.
- OK, I can tell I don't have the patience for this. Flynn, if you would?
- ...Ahem.. Nice to meet you, Mr. Segata. I'm Flynn Scifo of the Imperial Knights.
- And this is Yuri Lowell of the guild "Brave Vesperia".
- Halure is actually under a curfew right now.
- Can you explain to us what it is you were doing out and about?
- And for the record, depending on your answer, we may have to become a little less cordial.
- Very well, young ones! Listen close!
- Man, why am I always bumping into weird old guys?
(Segata explains)
- So, you were out training in the mountains... And then the next thing you knew, you were up in this tree?
- Correct! I had tied a Saturn to its trunk and was using it for striking practice.
- So, just so we've got this straight... Segata, you come from another world known as "Japan"?
- Japan... That name sounds exotic, yet vaguely familiar. Maybe it's a world we visited once.
- I see. So I am overseas! Splendid! The glory of the Sega Saturn will envelop the globe!
- I'm sure I'd agree if I only knew what that meant. Either way, Mr. Segata, we'll need you to take shelter inside.
- Hm?
- There's been some disturbances around here lately. Not a good time for unarmed civilians to be wandering around.
- Sorry, but we're not playing games here, old man.
- ...!
- I-Is something wrong, Mr. Segata?
- Not playing games? Yuri! Say that one more time, I dare you!
- Huh? I mean, we're not. This isn't a game, it's serious.
- Deplorable! Two young men who know not the delight of serious play!
- It seems I have no choice but to teach you myself! Forgive me!
- Huh? What are you talking about?!
- Hiyaaaah!
- Wait, Flynn. I get it. He's gonna speak to us through his fists.
- Huh? That makes no sense.
- Agreed. It makes no sense. And yet, here we are.
- You must play the Sega Saturn!
- Sheesh...
- *sigh* We ought to be searching for Lady Estellise, not brawling with strangers...
After defeating Segata[]
- Well done, young Yuri! Bravo!
- Yeesh, do you have a volume below "Scream"? Anyway. You satisfied, Segata?
- Not yet! Not till my fingers break and your sword shatters!
- Holy crap, did this guy OD on Miracle Gels or something? What do we do now?
- Mr. Segata! This world is in chaos right now. That may explain how you ended up here.
- We have come here to investigate the source of that chaos. Please allow us to carry out our duties!
- ...
- And are you both taking your investigation seriously?
- Huh? I mean, sure. The usual amount.
- Yuri!
- Ahem... Yes. We stake our lives, if necessary, to preserve peace among the citizens we serve.
- I see... So you do have something to which you are willing to devote your very lives...
- You have touched me, young Flynn!
- As long as there remain shining youths such as yourselves, Japan's future will be bright indeed!
- This isn't Ja--Oh, never mind.
- Regardless, good job, Flynn. I guess you got through to him.
- He's certainly a very... passionate fellow.
- I'm just glad he's settled down. But now we've got to figure out what happened with--
(Shinra and the Combat Revue arrive at the scene)
- So this is where all that ruckus was comin' from.
- ...!
- The heck? What are you folks doing here?
- Yuri and Flynn?! If you two are here, that can only mean one thing...
- Is this your world?!
- Wait, don't tell me those sightings of a crimson airship were...
- Afraid so. That's our transport you spotted.
- So can we assume you're the ones who brought this guy here? I mean, you're all from "Japan", right?
- ...
- Huh?! Isn't that...
- ...Segata?
- ...
- ...
- Saaakura.
- Teehee!
- This way, this way! This way!
- This way!
- Sakuraaaa! Sakuraaa!
- Ahahahahah! Hee-hee-hee...
- Hahahahahahah!
- ...It's good to see you again.
- ...Likewise to you.
- Uh? Wha?
- Heh, I see Sakura and Segata are as close as ever.
- Ogami! We should become closer, too!
- Th-That's okay! Erica, please, no!
- Oooogamiiii!
- E... Erica...
- ...That's enough.
- Y-Yes, of course.
- The heck's gotten into you folks?
- Let's, uh, pretend that didn't happen, shall we. I've got a far more pressing question.
- How does the Imperial Assault Force, coming from a world whose history diverges from ours, know of Segata Sanshiro?
- That's right. In our world, the existence of Segata Sanshiro is known only to a select few.
- Huh? Mr. Segata comes to the Imperial Theatre all the time. He's even sparred with us at judo practice.
- Yes! But it's been quite a while, so it's wonderful to see him again!
(Ryo, Ulala, and Axel surround Segata)
- ...?!
- Is everything OK here? We heard fighting, so we... Hm? Is that you, Segata?
- Segata Sanshiro?! What's he doing here?!
- Breaking news alert! It's none other than Segata Sanshiro himself! A man who has devoted his life to the way of play!
- Well well, Detective Axel! And the Hazuki Dojo boy--keeping those eyes of yours full and reactive, I hope! Ulala, I see you're still hard at work informing the masses!
- Huh you really are a celebrity, aren't you, Mr. Segata!
- Wait... Space Channel 5 isn't founded until the distant future. How do you know about it?
- ...
- Segata Sanshiro will live forever in your hearts!
- Um... Inspiring, but not exactly what we were asking.
- Yeah, he's been a total weirdo this whole time. If you know him, you think you could take him off our hands?
- Sure, that's no problem... But we only ended up here by coincidence ourselves.
- And I reckon we'll need your help to get back! I better run fetch the others from the inn.
- Hold it, Gemini. We're looking for someone as well.
- Looking for someone? It's not her, is it?
(Everyone turns to find Estelle on the other side of the trunk)
- ...
- Lady Estellise! When did you get here?!
- Estelle, get back home, all right? This area's not safe!
- ...Yu...ri...
- It's the ever-telegenic Princess Estellise Sidos Heurassein. And yet, viewers, something doesn't seem quite right!
- Hmm, true. It's almost like someone stole her heart away, and I don't mean a hunky prince.
- ...I must go...
- To see... Master... Bison...
- Bison? Hey, did you just say "Bison"?! But that's the head of...
- I... I...
(B.B. Hood appears)
- Aha! There you are! I was wondering when you were finally gonna wander out of the town! ♪
- Estellise, sweetie, it's not nice to keep people waiting!
- ...
- Who's that? Is she... a friend of yours, Lady Estellise?
- No! She's an assassin working for Shadaloo!
- An assassin?!
- Guilty as charged! Teeheehee! ♪
(Four Q-Bees appear around B.B. Hood)
- ...
- All right, you lot! Get over there and bring back that little twit!
(Robot Axel and two Robot X's appear by Estelle, with Robot Axel approaching her)
- ...
- Bastard! What did you do Estelle?!
- ...Hey, wait! Why does he look like you?
- It's an android... A mechanical doll! But at least there's one thing we now know for sure...
- Shadaloo's here in this world, and for reasons unknown, they're after Princess Estelle!
- Shadaloo? That's the first I've heard that name... But I won't forgive anyone who would target a fair young girl!
- The situation is quickly heating up! But we still don't know what we're going to do!
- Don't worry. The others will notice that something's not right.
(Everyone else exits the inn)
- ...Enemies spotted.
- Oh dear. If it isn't our disagreeable friend B.B. Hood.
- Oh dear, yourself. You should have stayed back and kept resting. ♥
- Now you get to rest... in pieces!
- I-If she's here, then that means...
- Shadaloo. They're starting to annoy me.
- Wow, you brought a whole army? Welcome to Terca Lumireis, I guess.
- Yuri?! So we're in your world now?
- It would seem our circumstances have reversed themselves this time.
- Valkyrie and Lucina too... I can't believe this.
- Ooh, I can already tell this is going to be such ♥ a ♥ pain! ♥
- Oh well. Come on in, everybody! ♪
(Three Gattusos, two Egg Bears and two Gentlemen appear)
- Hmph, as if these pitiful creatures could stop us...
- These monsters should never have been able to enter the town! How did they get in here?!
- I don't know! The town's barrier blastia is still functioning!
- Gosh, Psycho Power is the best, don't you think? I just love it! ♥
- It's all kinds of useful! Heh-heh-heh...
- They broke the seal with Psycho Power?! Does that mean that Bison himself is here along with Shadaloo?
- And that Bison is trying to kidnap Princess Estelle?
- Wait, the princess is here too?
- ...
- Keep your heads on! A true warrior is one who remains unperturbed, no matter the circumstances!
- A true warrior? Are you saying you know what a true warrior really is?!
- Who's that? An old dude in judo pajamas?
- ...
- I know this man... He's "The Master".
- Segata Sanshiro himself. What are you doing here?
- Are you here to train, Mr. Segata?
- Young fighters, perhaps the time has come for each of you to grace the Saturn once more!
- Still at it after all these years, huh? Shame you never turned your skills to somethin' more lucrative, Segata Sanshiro.
- The path of the gangster is still a path! Be it play, be it honor, the important thing is that you devote your entire soul to it!
- I'm no longer a part of that world... But I get what you're saying, Segata.
- Great timing, Segata. Think you can help us out?
- Hm? Team Vashyron! Are you still relying on those silly pop-guns? Use your heads!
- You mean your headbutt thing? I'll pass.
- Hmm. If I jumped as high as I could, and then fell down head-first...
- ...Segata Sanshiro. I won't ask how you got here.
- Will you help us?
- If it isn't Hotsuma, shinobi of the modern age! Of course I'll help!
- I'll show up what it takes to save a life!
- Yuri! Flynn! You're going to go rescue the princess! Right now!
- Well, yeah, we're all for that, old man. The problem is--
- Segata? Wh-What are you doing?!
(Segata throws Yuri and Flynn to the other side of the trunk)
- What's gotten into you?! They're on OUR side!
- Wait. Look at their new positioning!
- That was, uh, not expected... But I think I get it now!
- Hey, old man Segata! You ain't half bad!
- Excellent coaching!
- Yu... ri... Flyn... nnn...
- Lady Estellise! We're coming to help you!
- But how are we going to free her from the Psycho Power? Are we going to have to track down M. Bison himself?
- She just needs a little shock to the system. Go ahead and attack her! It'll be fine, I bet!
- Uh... Are we really, totally sure about this?
- I fought Estelle once when this happened to her before. Damn them, dredging up those terrible memories...
- We'll get you back, Estelle! Try to hang in there!
- Keep the enemy back and give Yuri and Flynn all the support you can! Everyone, move out!
After defeating B.B. Hood[]
- Aww, I failed! Teehee. ♪
- Well, that's the end of my contract!
- What?
- I said I've had it with jobs that ain't worth the trouble, old-timer!
- Anyway, I've got a new client waiting, so this is me, signing out. Ta-ta! ♥
- S-So does this mean you're not after my life anymore?
- You got it, Mr. Lawyer.
- Except... I don't much like you. Next time I see you, you're dead.
- Th-That doesn't change anything!
- Teehee! Buh-bye now! ♪
(B.B. Hood leaves)
- Well, at least that seems to take one issue off our plate.
- She certainly is in demand, isn't she. Though I do wonder who her new client is.
- No one friendly, that's for sure.
After defeating Robot Axel[]
(Robot Axel explodes)
After defeating Estelle[]
- Nnn... Aaah...!
- Estelle! C'mon! Hurry, wake up!
- I think she's on the verge of coming to her senses.
- Be careful. Multiple heat sources are rapidly approaching.
(The Shtroms, three Wookys, three Eddys and four Zs appear)
- Man, how did we get stuck with this crappy job?
- Shut up, Junior! Now, where's that girl?
- I see her! Right over there!
- The gang of arch-criminals?! So it's not just Shadaloo that came to this world?
- If these scoundrels are after the princess, I expect they and Shadaloo are conspiring together.
- Captain Commando?! So the spatial warp we picked up--that was you folks?
- What are you arch-criminals and Shadaloo plotting together?
- We're plotting to call you a butthead. That answer your question, Maverick Hunter?
- We're only doing what we need to do. ...Now, grab the girl.
- What?
(Two Wookys take Estelle away)
- Lady Estellise?!
- Where did they take her?!
- You shoulda just done this from the get-go, B.B. Hood! But nooo, ya had to go and toy with them.
- That's out first job done. Now we just gotta take out all these punks.
- You sons of-- What've you done with Estelle?!
- Nothin' that matters to you anymore. 'Cause you're about to die!
- Then we'll just have to tie you up and force it out of you. Get ready!
- Yuri, Flynn, I swear we will find your princess. But right now... You know what needs to be done, right?
- Yes. We can't let these invaders lay waste to the town.
- Got it. Let's finish this up quick!
After defeating Shtrom Jr.[]
- Sorry I can't stick around, but I got other work to do. I'll get you next time, Captain Commando!
(Shtrom Jr. leaves)
- What could the arch-criminals be after?
- Nothing good. That much is certain.
After defeating Shtrom[]
- We got what we came for! No need for us to waste our time here!
(Shtrom leaves)
- That was easier than expected. What's he up to?
After defeating Druk[]
- Darn it, no one told me you twerps would be this strong... I'm gettin' out of here!
(Druk leaves)
- Looks like they didn't expect to run into us here.
- Well, sucks to be them. Now all that's left is...
- Yeah. We've got to get Estelle back.
Outro[]
- Phew... Looks like it's finally over.
- I sent word to the knights. They agreed to keep watch over the town.
- Our info-gathering is turning into more trouble than it's worth. I say we cut our losses and get out of here.
- I hate to admit it, but I have to agree.
- Flynn and I have to track down Estelle. I guess this is where we part ways.
- Don't be ridiculous, Yuri. It would be an honor to repay my debt to you by helping you locate her.
- I've got no problem with us joining the search... But do we even have a clue where they might have taken her?
- I just called the Doctor. Hopefully she's seen something.
(The Dragonturtle arrives)
- Whoa! What the hell is that?! A giant metal carriage?
- Hm! Category: Steampunk. FULL POINTS!
- Could this be the crimson airship?
- Yeah, this is what we came here on. We left it outside.
(Urashima comes out of the Dragonturtle)
- Sorry for the wait! ...And for the record, no, she's not steam-powered.
- Doctor, did you notice anything unusual while you were waiting outside the town?
- We ran into a bunch of enemies over here. Were you all right on your own?
- It was all good, Doctor-wise. Although...
- Someone did come by and tell me, "If you want to save the girl, head for fallen Tarqaron."
- Tarqaron? Is that another town or something?
- Tarqaron? The Ancient Tower?! Where did you hear that, and who told you?!
- Hold on, did you run into someone, Doctor?
- Just before I came here, yes. An attractive young man with silver hair and a flashy outfit of red, black, and gold.
- ...
- I asked if he'd marry me. He turned me down, but he was very sweet about it.
- Please don't go marrying randos in other worlds, Doctor. Anyway, who was he? What was his name?
- Beats me. He told me that Tarqaron thing, then walked off without even saying goodbye.
- Who could it be? Yuri, you're from around here, right? Do you have any idea?
- ...NOt a clue. But I do think we can trust his information.
- Do you know where this place is?
- We can show you the way. But I'll warn you, it's quite a hike...
- That's no problem! This car can fly!
- Oh, right. This red thing was an airship, wasn't it.
- Sure is. C'mon, Doc, let's get going.
- On it. OK, everyone, get on board.
- Will do! Hiyaaah!
(Everyone gets on the Dragonturtle except for Yuri)
- ...
- (Thanks, Duke. We'll take it from here.)
(Yuri gets on the Dragonturtle and it flies away)
