Prologue VI: Bonds (Script)
Main story
Luke:
Hmmm...
Ryan:
What's the matter now, Luke?
Luke:
Guys, guys, guys, I need an opinion! How's my hair look?
Rody:
Your... hair?
Luke:
I'm a soldier of love, seeking out only the most beautiful women,
but I... haven't gotten any dates yet.
Katarina:
I'm sorry to say, most of the girls here think of you as small fry.
I mean, people think Ryan is a "cutie," or Rody is "Ohmigosh, so
cool!" Quite a few people seem to secretly lust after Chris too.
Luke:
Exactly! I didn't get it at first. I thought, "what am I doing
wrong?" That's when I realized: it's my hair!
Chris:
I'm not sure what leap of logic led you to that particular
conclusion...
Luke:
Well, for example, I'll fix up my hair like you do! And
then...
(If Chris is female and has hair type X)
Luke:
They'll see me as brave... and beautiful, just like Chris,
right?
Rody:
Err... Luke, you're a guy. How does mimicking Chris automatically
make you gallant...?
Katarina:
Luke, maybe if you did something about that attitude of yours, you'd
be more popular. Oh, it's time. Apparently, today, Sir Jagen wishes
to have a word with us before training..
(If Chris is male and has hair type X)
Luke:
They'll see me as brave... and handsome, just like Chris, right?
Rody:
Not possible...
Katarina:
Luke, maybe if you did something about that attitude of yours, you'd
be more popular. Oh, it's time. Apparently, today, Sir Jagen wishes
to have a word with us before training.
(If Chris is female and has hair type Y)
Luke:
My feminine grace'll win hearts, just like Chris!
Ryan:
Your "feminine grace" is scaring me actually...
Katarina:
Luke, maybe if you did something about that attitude of yours, you'd
be more popular. Oh, it's time. Apparently, today, Sir Jagen wishes
to have a word with us before training.
(If Chris is male and has hair type Y)
Luke:
They'd see me as gentle and quiet, like softly falling rain! Just
like Chris, right?
Ryan:
Umm... If you say so?
Katarina:
Luke, maybe if you did something about that attitude of yours, you'd
be more popular. Oh, it's time. Apparently, today, Sir Jagen wishes
to have a word with us before training.
(If Chris is female and has hair type Z)
Luke:
N-no, let's not actually. The girls would run away in fear if I had
Chris's hairdo...
Chris:
...How rude! What's wrong with my hair, exactly?
Katarina:
I-I think your hair looks great, Chris... Oh, it's time. Apparently,
today, Sir Jagen wishes to have a word with us before training.
(If Chris is male and has hair type Z)
Luke:
N-no, let's not actually. The girls would run away in fear if I had
Chris's hairdo...
Chris:
...How rude! What's wrong with my hair, exactly?
Katarina:
I-I think your hair looks great, Chris... Oh, it's time. Apparently,
today, Sir Jagen wishes to have a word with us before training.
(Jagen's speech)
Jagen:
Three months have passed since you first came here. During this
time, I've witnessed many a platoon desert because they couldn't
stomach the harsh training. Not to mention platoons that failed due
to miserable results... Of all who remain, there are only twenty
names.
Katarina:
Eep, the requirements are incredibly strict!
Chris:
True. But we still remain in the game. That's what matters. As long
as we keep working hard...
Jagen:
From now on the practical training will be far more grueling. As
such, we will be introducing lectures to advise you.
Chris:
Lectures?
Frey:
I am Frey, the knight in charge of lecturing. In my lectures, you
will learn essential knowledge that all knights should possess.
Jagen:
From here on, this is the real thing. Prepare to be pushed to your
limits.
(Frey's battle advice- Hard mode?)
Frey:
Now, firstly, I'll talk about the preparations you need to make
before a battle. Before you fight your enemy on the battlefield, you
must ensure that you are sufficiently prepared. Selecting those who
will fight, organizing their weapons and items... Chris, you will do
all these things, as part of your role as commander.
Chris:
I understand. I'll do my best.
Frey:
One more important thing: Pay attention to party members who wish to
speak with you. Talking to your party members will often yield
tactical advice. The more stars displayed, the more important a
conversation is. When you come to a new battlefield, it's always a
good idea to check if anybody has something to say.
(Frey's battle advice- Normal mode?)
Frey:
Now, firstly, I'll talk about the preparations you need to make
before a battle. Before you fight your enemy on the battlefield, you
must ensure that you are sufficiently prepared. From today, you will
be allowed to choose who will come onto the battlefield. Chris, as
commander, the decision of who to send falls upon you.
Chris:
Understood. I'll do my best to choose the most suitable companions
for the battle.

(Training begins- Ogma's map)
Cain:
Well then, let's begin today's practical training! Your opponents
from here on will be the toughest yet, so show me that fighting
spirit of yours! The 7th Platoon's opponent, today, is...
Ogma:
I will serve as your opponent.
Katarina:
What? We-we have to fight Ogma...? Chris, Ogma is a hero from the
last war... He'll make for a formidable enemy.
(Training begins- Draug's map)
Cain:
Well then, let us begin today's mock battle. From here on, I will
prepare an instructor based on your performances until now. The 7th
Platoon's opponent, today, is...
Draug:
I am Draug, armor knight of Altea. Your opponent is none other than
me.
Katarina:
Draug is an armor knight famed for his sturdy defense. Chris, he'll
be a formidable enemy.
(Beginning the stage if Ogma is the boss- Normal mode)
Ogma:
The soldiers here will be your opponents, first. If you defeat all
of them, I'll step up to fight.
(Beginning the stage if Draug is the boss- Normal mode)
Draug:
These soldiers are your opponents. You must defeat all of them if
you wish to fight me.
(Meeting with Cecille)
Cecille:
Huff... puff... I-I made it. Hey, where's this Commander Chris
person?
Chris:
That would be me, but who are you?
Cecille:
I'm Cecille, a junior knight like you! I know it's very sudden, but
I was invited by Katarina to join your group.
Chris:
...Very sudden indeed. But, the more the merrier. Could we talk
after the battle?
Cecille:
Sure, I'm glad you understand. Oh yeah, I brought along some strong
weapons that Katarina prepared for you! Just give me the orders and
I'll give you them to replace your worn out ones.
(Defeat Ogma’s underlings- Normal mode)
Ogma:
Not bad. As promised, I will fight.
(Defeat Draug’s underlings- Normal mode)
Draug:
You're not bad at all. But I won't be beaten so easily.
(Fighting Ogma)
Ogma:
Don't think of this as simply training. Come at me without
restraint!
(Fighting Draug)
Draug:
I keep hearing about your abilities. Please, allow me to judge for
myself whether or not you're the real deal.
(Defeating Ogma)
Ogma:
...Not bad. That's quite some skill you've got.
(Defeating Draug)
Draug:
S-so you managed to penetrate my armor...
(Ending if you fought Ogma)
Ogma:
Such great power. Looks like Altea is blessed with good knights.
Chris, if you have need of my power you need only ask.
Katarina:
We did it, Chris! Good job!
(Ending if you fought Draug)
Draug:
How...? Even my defense couldn't withstand such a tremendous
onslaught. Commander Chris, if you have need of an armor knight's
strength, you may call on me.
Katarina:
We did it, Chris! Good job!
(Stage Ending)
Katarina:
Excuse me, Chris, do you have a moment?
Chris:
Huh? Of course. What is it?
Katarina:
That Royal Guard position that Prince Marth offered us. Did you
think about it? I... I'd like be a Royal Guard, if you're in with
me. Together, we'd be an unstoppable team... When I imagine a future
like that, I feel very happy. ...Um, what about you, Chris? Do you,
perhaps, feel the same as I...?
(Answer "Yes", if male)
Chris:
Yeah, I think it would be nice.
Katarina:
R-really? I'm so glad... Well, this is a little awkward... I should
get to bed. Good night, Chris. Good luck for tomorrow.
(Answer "Yes", if female)
Chris:
Yes, of course.
Katarina:
R-really? I'm so glad... Well, this is a little awkward... I should
get to bed. Good night, Chris. Good luck for tomorrow.
(Answer "No")
Chris:
Um, I'm sorry. I haven't really thought about it yet...
Katarina:
...I-is that so? Yes, I... So it was just me after all... I'm sorry.
Good night, Chris.
