< Prev | Index | Next >


Power Outage


[Sakae - Centering Park] [17:00]
You encounter a group of people running away from the direction you're headed...

Scared Man: Oh! You there, turn back! Th-There's demons that way!

> Just demons?
Scared Man: Um... W-Wait! There were a few people who didn't get away, but we can't go back for them!

> Is that all you know?
Scared Man: Um... A few people didn't get away in time. Other than that... Look, you should run!

The man runs off as fast as he can...

???: Aieeeee!

[The party arrives in the park.]

Daichi: Whoa...! Everyone, look!

[Joe enters the park.]

Joe: ...Come on, hurry! If you don't want to die, RUN!

[Other civilians arrive in the park.]

Office Work: *pant* *pant* I... guess I made it?

Tired Woman: W-Wait... I can't go any further...

[A Pryo Jack appears!]

Joe: Oh no, demons!

Tired Woman: N-No...! Get away!

[The Pyro Jack burns the woman.]

Tired Woman: Aaaaaaah!

Joe: Dammit... This is unbelievable...

[More demons start appearing.]

Joe: This is bad... If it keeps up, everyone's going to--

[One of the Pyro Jacks attacks an office worker.]

Office Worker: Waaaaahhh!

Joe: Ugh, this is horrible. Maybe there's no point...

> Joe!
> Are you okay?

Joe: Huh!? Oh, Hiro! Great timing!
Joe: My phone isn't working very well, so can you help these people? ...And me, too?

???: Everyone, get to safety immediately! I'll protect you!

[Ronaldo arrives in the park!]

Ronaldo: Hmm? Is that... Joe? Hey, come over here!

Joe: Oh! Clicky! Uh... What should I do?
Joe: Hiro's over there, and Ronaldo's over there...

> Go to Ronaldo!
Joe: Oh... huh? Okay. I'll do that!

Ronaldo: You... You're Hiro! All right, I'll take that guy on! We'll surround the demons!

> Get over here!
Joe: Oh... huh? Okay. I'll do that!

Ronaldo: Hm... Hiro! All right, I'll go around and assist you!

[Battle start!]

[The person speaks is dependent on who the second team leader is.]
Airi: Ugh... Do we have to work with him? I don't like this, but if it's to save Joe...
Jungo: Huh? We're cooperating with Ronaldo now? I'm fine with that, if we're saving people.

[Joe's turn.]
Joe: Whew... I'm safe. Can I let you guys take care of the rest?

Daichi: O-Oh, sure! Be safe, Joe...

Joe: Whoa ho ho ho! I knew I could count on you guys! Be careful!

[Saving an office worker.]
Office Worker: N-No! Help meeeeee!

Io: You'll be all right now! Go!
Otome: You're going to be safe! Now go!

Office Worker: A-All right...! Thank you so much!

[After some demons have been defeated, more appear.]

Joe: Man, I wish I could fight, too... Sorry I can't help. I'm counting on you!

[When Joe reaches the escape route.]
Joe: We've made it this far... I think we'll be okay. I'm safe now. Thanks.

[When the Female Worker reaches the escape route.]
Female Worker: I've been saved! Be careful, you guys!

[When the Office Worker reaches the escape route.]
Office Worker: D-Did I make it...? Thanks so much, guys!

[When Joe and all the civilians have escaped.]
Ronaldo: Good...! Everyone escaped! Now we'll just beat down the rest of these demons.

[After all demons have been defeated, Mission Complete!]

Joe: Bleah... What a mess. I didn't think that would happen.

> You're a freakin' moron.
Joe: Haha... You're right. For some reason it never occurred to me my battery had died...

> What about your demons?
Joe: Ahaha... Actually, I noticed later that my phone's battery had died...

> What were you doing?
Joe: Who, me? Well, it turns out my phone's battery had died...

Daichi: Th-The battery died...!? You really are dumb, huh!?

Joe: Hahaha... Yeah, I was in a real fix there. You know how I'm a city boy?
Joe: When I got here, I ran into some folks who were being chased by demons.

Ronaldo: ...You're a fool through and through. But I admire your bravery.

Joe: Hm...? Ooohhh, Clicky. I gotta thank you too. It's 'cause of you that I'm A-OK.

Ronaldo: Cli... Anyway. Don't rush in so recklessly. If we hadn't been around, you'd have died.

> Yeah, what he said.
Joe: Ahahah... Not much I can say to that, huh? I'll be more careful from now on. Probably.

> Clicky!
Joe: Ooh, you like it? Ahaha... Don't worry, I think I can be more careful from now own!

Io: I... I guess you'll be okay?

Joe: Hahaha. Sure, yeah, I'll find a way through!

Ronaldo: ...You were impressive as well, Hiro. It's a real shame to see you still with JP's.

> You think so?
Ronaldo: ...I won't force the issue. Well, time I was going.

> You're probably right.
Ronaldo: Indeed. But I won't force the issue. If you'll excuse me...

Ronaldo leaves...

Joe: He really is a nice guy. Yep...
Joe: ...So, Hiro. What brings you guys here?

> Seriously...?
> Actually...

You tell Joe about the death clip...

Joe: Whoa... Yikes. Did I really die in that thing? Man...
Joe: Then again... You know, I felt a little like my number was up until I saw you.
Joe: So that was it. Thanks a ton, man. I really appreciate it.
Joe: Hm... With that out of the way, I'm getting hungry. I'm gonna go grab a bite to eat.

[Joe leaves.]

Airi: Oh, for the love of...! Does he really understand that he almost died?

Hinako: Hmm... Who can say? He's a strange cookie.
Hinako: At least we can rest easy now! Just gotta wait for Yamato to contact us and beat Megrez.

Daichi: Oh yeah... Do we have to do something about that thing? I guess we do, huh...

You say your farewells to everyone and leave...


Alternate: RIP Joe


[Sakae - Centering Park] [17:30]
You encoutner a group of people running away from the direction you're headed...

Scared Man: Oh! You there, turn back! Th-There's demons that way!

> Just demons?
Scared Man: Um... W-Wait! There were a few people who didn't get away, but we can't go back for them!

> Is that all you know?
Scared Man: Um... A few people didn't get away in time. Other than that... Look, you should run!

The man runs off as fast as he can...

Daichi: Oh... Hey, Hiro! We got big problem...!
Daichi: Some demons showed up and a ton of people tried to run... It's total chaos!
Daichi: Dammit... Joe might be here already! Let get over there!

[The party arrive at the park, looking around.]

???: Dammit, hold on! Stand! Stand up!

[Joe and Ronaldo are surrounded by a Noa and Pyro Jack. It looks like Joe's injured.]

Joe: Haha... Thanks, Clicky. But... I don't think I'll make it...

Ronaldo: ...Don't be ridiculous! Now stand up! C'mon, Joe!
Ronaldo: Dammit, I'm not going to let you do this!

[Ronaldo defeats the Noa.]

Ronaldo: Yes, that should do it.

[The Pryo Jack burns Joe.]

Joe: Waaaaaahhh...!

Ronaldo: No! Joe!
Ronaldo: ...! You bastard!

[Ronaldo kills the Pyro Jack in retaliation.]

Ronaldo: Joe, are you all right!?
Ronaldo: Come on, stay with me!

Joe: Haha... No... I'm done. I burned... And I'm burned out...

[Joe disintegrates into ashes and blows away with the wind.]

Ronaldo: ......! Joe!

[The rest of the party approach...]

Ronaldo: ...Oh... Hiro... I'm sorry. I... couldn't save him.

> It's not your fault.
> Don't worry about it.

Ronaldo: He... seemed to have been helping some civilians escape a demon attack...
Ronaldo: ...Even though his phone was out of batteries and he wasn't able to summon any demons...

Daichi: Joe was helping them...? Really?

Ronaldo: I... saw his death clip. I knew it would happen, and still...!

> The same goes for us.
Ronaldo: The same...? I see. Yes, of course... You were Joe's friends too, after all.

> We saw it too.
Ronaldo: You too...? I see. Yes, of course you did... You were Joe's friends too, after all.

Ronaldo: ...I swear of Joe's memory that I'll be stronger than this.
Ronaldo: Stronger than anyone... so I can save as many people as possible.
Ronaldo: I shouldn't say this to JP's collaborators, but... I respect your power and your drive.
Ronaldo: I truly hope, with all my heart, that a day will come when I can call you "friend."

Ronaldo leaves...

Airi: ...I hate this...
Airi: I couldn't do anything... We couldn't save Joe.

Hinako: I hear you... but we can't be sorry for ourselves, either. Megrez is still out there.

Daichi: Yeah... You're right. We need to wait for Yamato to contact us and then beat that thing...

Io: Mmm-hmm... Let's give this all we have. For Joe's sake...

You all mourn Joe's death as you leave the area...
