In Agart Observatory...
Corio: My goodness!
Apprentice: What is it, sir!?
Corio: The moon!
The moon that we were on retreats. On the Lunar Whale...
Porom: The moon... It will be just a speck before long.
Rydia: The Creator must have sent the moon away from us before he fell apart completely.
Edge: I never imagined that the Crystals were created for that purpose.
Golbez: But what does this mean for the future of the Blue Planet's Crystals?
Ceodore: It all depends on how we decide to use them, doesn't it?
We return to the planet.
In Troia...
Epopt: The Crystal has returned... and in one piece, no less.
Epopt: With this in order, our people can finally concentrate on rebuilding our pround nation.
Epopt: Leonora... as of this day, you are to stand officially amongst our ranks.
Leonora: I... I... Thank you so much! Um... If I may, however...
Izayoi: (Hee hee...)
Just to lower the amount of time I'm explaining things, for these first few scenes, the Eblan Four are in disguise. The scene fades out.
Epopt: What?
In Mysidia...
Palom: ...
Porom: There you are!
Palom: Mm-hmm.
Porom: The elder wants to see you.
Palom: He's woken up?
Porom: He sure has!
We head for the Elder's bed.
Elder: Palom... You've returned.
Palom: Elder, what were you thinking? You know you're not young anymore.
Porom: Palom!
Elder: It is quite all right, Porom. He only states the truth. I was wondering, Palom. Have you made a decision about your sage training quite yet?
Palom: That can come later.
Porom: Huh?
Palom: Come on. You know as well as I do how helpless Mysidia would be without me.
Elder: Ah, long have I awaited those words!
Porom: Elder...
Elder: From this day forward, I leave Mysidia in the hands of you both.
Palom: Wha...!?
Porom: Elder, you couldn't! We are still unprepared for the job!
Elder: Oh, you'll be fine... as ling as the two of you are together. Black and white. Darkness and light. Male and female. Your differences are exactly why I am sure you will lead us along the right path.
Palom: You... These aren't your last words or anything, are they?
Porom: Palom! What are you...!?
Elder: Ugh! You cheeky fool! Back to training with you!
Palom: Sure thing. Just don't keel over on us yet, eh, Elder?
Porom: Palom!
A Black Mage runs in.
Sir, a visitor from Troia is here.
Palom: Oh?
We head out. Leonora's there.
Porom: Leonora!
Palom: If you're looking for me to teach you something, then I'm afraid you're out of luck. You've got everything you need.
Leonora: I... I understand that.
Palom: So why'd you come here, then? What about the Epopts and everything?
Leonora: I... I gave it up.
Palom: Wh-what!?
Porom: Why, Leonora?
Leonora: Th-there are lots of Epopt trainees in Troia... most of them much more suited for the post than I am.
Palom: So what're you gonna do now?
Leonora: I... I thought I would start on the journey towards becoming a sage.
Palom: Are... are you serious?
Leonora: Wh-what? Is... is that so strange?
Porom: Not at all! I'll give you all the help you need.
Leonora: R-really!?
Porom: Of course!
A toad walks onto the scene.
Tsukinowa: (Good for you, Porom!)
Palom: Well, whatever. Guess I'll be babysitting you a while longer.
Leonora: Y-yes, sir! Thank you!
In the Dwarven Castle...
King Giott: Well, I'll be. So that's what the Crystals were made for...
Luca: Yes, Father.
King Giott: ...It's all over my head, anyway.
Luca: What? I could try to explain it again, if you like.
King Giott: If you ask me, we dwarves aren't meant to sit around all day, pondering the mysteries of the world. We should keep it simple, you see? And I don't see why we shouldn't protect our Crystals the way we always have.
Luca: ...Maybe you're right.
A kid runs in.
???: Luca!
Luca: Mid!
Cid follows.
Cid: Ah, there you are. My grandson wouldn't stop whining about how much he wanted to see you, so...
Luca: Well, perfect! Come, to the Falcon!
Cid: Whoa! What, already?
Luca: Come on!
Out we go.
Cid: Oh! Say, that makes good sense, there!
Luca: This was just a little something I picked up while examining the Lunar Whale's engine. We need to do something about this part here, though...
Mid: How 'bout this?
Luca: Wow!
Cid: Haha! That's my boy!
King Giott: If there is anything you need, Cid, do not hesitate to let me know.
Luca: Hmm... Well, we could really use some crewmen, actually.
Lali-ho! His Majesty is free right now!
King Giott: Dah! All right, all right! I'd be happy to help out!
Luca: Oh, Father, you wouldn't understand anything on this ship! I was talking about your bodyguards!
Zangetsu: Nari-ho!
How many times do we have to tell you!? It's "lali-ho"!
The bodyguards jump.
Lali-ho!
In Fabul...
Duke Consort: The moon is gone... and our Wind Crystal is safe once more.
Chancellor: I wonder, though... Now that we know the Crystals' true nature, can things ever truly be the same?
Sheila: Well, what difference does it make? People pray to the Crystals because the Crystals're always there for them. They're a unifying force... Everyone wants to help protect them and take care of them.
Chancellor: Hmm. Makes sense.
Duke Consort: I could not have stated it better.
Sheila: No need to compliment me. That's just how my husband put it.
Chancellor: Speaking of Master Yang, where is he right now?
Sheila: Training, of course. With Ursula.
Duke Consort: My. It is strange to think back to when Yang treated Ursula like a rare, fragile jewel...
Sheila: I think my silly husband said it best himself: "How can I believe in my people's future if I cannot even believe in my own daughter?"
Outside...
Ursula: *huff huff*
Yang: I told you I was not going to go easy.
Ursula: Y-yes, Master!
Yang: Is that the best you can do?
Ursula: N-no, Master! I'm not done yet!
Gekkou's standing on the castle walls. He doesn't have a disguise.
Gekkou: (Hmm... I suppose Fabul has its own honor to uphold, as well.)
In Damcyan...
Harley: So the Crystal is the same as always?
Edward: Indeed. I cannot help but think that our Crystals are different... different from all the other Crystals the Creator has made.
Harley: How so, my lord?
Edward: Our nation believes in this Crystal, yes... but it would have taken more than that for it to recover its light.
Harley: ...Are you suggesting that the Crystal itself is evolving, too?
Edward: Perhaps. Perhaps it has responded to the evolution we ourselves carry in our hearts... I would like to believe that, anyway.
???: Your Majesty!
The chancellor comes in.
Chancellor: There you are! Ah, and Harley, too!
Edward: What is it, Chancellor?
Chancellor: Have you obtained the material we were discussing earlier?
Edward: Harley?
Harley: Yes, my lord. I have made all the necessary arrangements.
Edward: As I would expect.
Chancellor: Then, Your Highness...
They start to leave.
Edward: Anna... Tellah... From the bottom of my heart, I thank you both!
The two ghosts appear by the Crystal as Edward leaves.
In Eblan...
Seneschal: Your Young Highness! Where is His Young Highness?
Guardsman: He left just a moment ago, sir.
Seneschal: What? Again!? Where?
Guardsman: I'm afraid he didn't say, sir. He simply stated he was going out on patrol.
Seneschal: What was that!? Oh, just when we've almost completed renovating the castle... I fear His Young Highness has fallen into his habit of slipping off unannounced once more!
Outside, Edge starts to leave.
Master...
Gekkou jumps down.
Gekkou: All's clear in Fabul.
And Zangetsu.
Zangetsu: Nothing seems out of order in the Underworld, either.
And Izayoi.
Izayoi: Troia's Crystal is the same as always.
And Tsukinowa
Tsukinowa: Nothing to report from Mysidia, either!
Edge: Good work, everyone. You are free to go... Go and live the life you've wished for.
Gekkou: Then we will continue to serve as your shadows, Master.
Zangetsu: Until your next orders come!
Izayoi: Whenever you are imperiled, just call for us. We will be there.
Tsukinowa: We are Eblan's ninja guard and we will be that way forevermore!
Edge: Pfft. Whatever, people.
Edge is still the best character, by the way. That didn't stop being a thing.
Gekkou: Yes, Master!
Izayoi: Thank you for your kind words!
Zangetsu: I bid you farewell...
Tsukinowa: Until the next mission!
In Mist, the Maenad child is playing.
Boy: Cuore!
Well, at least she has a name now.
Cuore: What?
Girl: Don't say "What"! You're supposed to say "Yes?"
Cuore: Yes?
Girl: Right, right! Doesn't that sound better?
The Eidolon King and Queen appear.
Boy: Ah!
Girl: You!
Cuore: Rydia!
Rydia comes outside.
Rydia: What is it?
Eidolon King: It's been quite a while.
Rydia: Your Majesty! And the queen!
Queen: Mist is certainly a fine place, is it not?
Rydia: I'm glad to see you both in good spirits... but what brings you here so suddenly?
Eidolon King: Well, we just realized... If you are not able to visit us, then the least we could do was visit you.
Rydia: So...
Queen: I apologize, Rydia...
Cuore: Who're they?
Rydia: My parents. Say hello to them, please.
Cuore: Good... afternoon.
Eidolon King: Hello there! Nice to meet you!
Queen: She looks quite a bit like you did when you were a child, Rydia.
Edge walks into the scene, then stops.
Edge: (Whoa!)
Cuore starts running after him.
Cuore: Edge!
Edge: Um... hey, Cuore!
Cuore: You're late!
Edge: Sorry, sorry. Kind of hard to find free time when you've got a country to run.
Eidolon King: Ah, Master Edge.
Queen: He's the one who suggested we pay you a visit, Rydia.
Rydia: What!?
Cuore: We're gonna play all day today!
Edge: Sure, sure. No magic, though, okay?
Cuore: Okay!
Rydia: (Edge... Thank you!)
In Baron...
Cecil: Ready, Ceodore?
Ceodore: No training wheels this time, I hope.
Cecil: Of course not.
Ceodore: Haaah!!!
We have a battle now. We just have Ceodore auto Attack, not much else to do.
???: That's enough.
Kain walks onto the scene.
Ceodore: Kain!
Kain: I'm your squad captain, starting today.
Ceodore: Oh! Y-yes, Captain!
Cecil: I'll be counting on you, Kain.
Rosa: Try not to be too rough on him.
Kain: That depends on what Ceodore wants.
Ceodore: I... I'll be just fine, Captain!
The two leave.
Rosa: I wonder how he's doing these days...
Cecil: Golbez?
Rosa: Yes...
Golbez is just flying through space.
Golbez: ...
Flashback to Kluya's grave at Mount Ordeals.
Cecil: Are you sure you want to go?
Golbez: I am.
Rosa: Do... do you think Fusoya is still alive?
Golbez: ...
Kain: Would anyone on that moon still be in one piece, for that matter?
Golbez: I don't know. That is why I must go there at once.
Cecil: Golbez...
Golbez: Farewell.
Ceodore: May we meet again, Golbez!
Cecil: Ceodore...
Ceodore: Someday, somewhere!
Golbez: Ceodore... Thank you.
Back to the present day on a Red Wings airship...
Luca: Do you really think this is in the Red Wings' best interests? Not upgrading our airships one bit?
Cid: We have a royal decree, Luca. We are to disarm our airships and never rearm them again.
Luca: It seems like such a waste... but that certainly seems like a rule that Cecil would come up with.
Kain and Ceodore board the ship.
Cid: We're ready to go whenever you are, Captain!
Kain: Good.
Ceodore: Our destination, Captain?
Kain: Around the world. We're off on a reconstruction support mission to every nation in the land.
Ceodore: R-really, Captain?
Kain: Does this look like a pleasure cruise to you, Ceodore!? Did Biggs and Wedge teach you nothing!?
Only Bands and how to be good at dying.
Ceodore: I... I'm sorry, sir!
Luca: Where are we headed first?
Kain: Damcyan. Edward's procured some building materials for us.
Luca: Roger!
Kain: Off we go, Ceodore!
Ceodore: Yes, Captain!
The airships take off and we get a shot of the single moon. Roll credits.
