'''Hiro:''' Ghaleon!\\
'''Lucia:''' What are you doing here?\\
'''Ghaleon:''' Ah, but you see, Zophar's restoration is not ''quite'' complete, and you've been making faster progress than we expected. Therefore... it's my job to create a little... crisis. ''[EvilLaugh; cut to battle scene]''[[note]] The rest of the dialogue is rendered as text only in the game; the punctuation is as in the original.[[/note]]\\
'''Lucia:''' I know your plan, Ghaleon. You have joined with Zophar to destroy this world!\\

'''Ghaleon:''' Hrmph! What a seriously confused little boy. If he had minded his own business, he'd still be alive. But, now that he's out of the way, Lucia is all mine!\\
'''Lucia:''' Hiro!?...Hiro!!! [[BigNo Nooooooo!]]\\
'''Ghaleon:''' .... .....\\
'''Lucia:''' Hiro! Why did you...\\
'''Ghaleon:''' Ha ha ha! Poor, lost, little Lucia. You care for Hiro more than yourself. That's so touching. You know, there is a way you can save your true love... If you were to give me the secret of the Blue Tower's power, I could...\\
'''Lucia:''' Ghaleon! How do you know about the Blue Tower's secret power?!\\
'''Ghaleon:''' Ha ha ha. I know many things, my dear. I also know that you now control the destiny of your little Hiro. Go to Pentagulia to finish your mission, or return to the Blue Tower to save Hiro. It's up to you...hm hm hm hm hm hm... ''[he vanishes; cut to the "overworld" view of the deck]''\\
'''Ruby:''' Oh no! Hiro! Hiro! Lucia, you have to save Hiro! Please???\\

'''Lucia:''' If I use the secret power of the Blue Tower, I can save Hiro... ....but that would...

'''Ruby:''' Lucia, we have to hurry and get to the Blue Spire to restore Hiro.\\
'''Lucia:''' But, there's no time. Zophar is...\\
'''Lemina:''' ''[if Lucia talks to her]'' With money, practically anything is possible... but, I'm pretty sure that there's no way we can buy Hiro back from the dead. You've got to save him, Lucia!\\

'''Ruby:''' I'M NOT LISTENING! LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA.....\\
'''Ronfar:''' Listen, I know how important it is not to let Zophar revive, but I will not let Hiro die like this! I'm going to the port at Dalton. I can take him to the Blue Spire from there. Maybe I can figure out how to revive him. You can do what you want.\\
'''Lucia:''' Ronfar, you don't understand anything! If Zophar revives before Althena, he will seize Althena's power, and become the most powerful being in the universe, with the absolute power of creation and destruction. Once his evil is infused with this power, it will be the end of everything! This is our only chance to stop him.\\

'''Lucia:''' Yes, my mission nears its end. But, instead of joy, all I feel is pain... as if a burning knife twists within my heart, scraping away my soul, my life... .... .....\\
'''Ruby:''' Well, duh! Your pain is caused by the fact that you've abandoned Hiro. It's your choice: antacids and guilt forever, or turn around now and rescue Hiro.\\
'''Lucia:''' But, if I don't go to Pentagulia now, Zophar will take control, and the world will\\
'''Ruby:''' Will what? Explode? Implode? Turn into a giant tin of sardines? C'mon Lucia! You're putting true love on the altar of trust and spitting on it! Show a little respect! You know what's right, so just do it!\\
