(Scene: Ethan, Leo) (Ethan stops as a call comes in over the Comm)

• Leo: Ethan, can you hear me?
• Ethan: Yeah. I hear you loud and clear.
• Leo: All right, then just keep heading down that passage.
• Ethan: Roger that.
• Leo: It shouldn't be too far to the next platform.

(As Ethan looks around he notices strange life forms)

• Ethan: Hold on a second!
• Leo: What's going on?
• Ethan: There are these... things. They're uh... Well...
• Leo: What? What is it?
• Ethan: They're... some sort of life form... I've never seen before. What the heck are they?
• Leo: Okay, focus on what's important now. Don't worry about what they are, just get past them. I'll guide you from here, so do exactly what I say.
• Ethan: All right.

(End Scene)

(Ethan proceeds to destroy the creatures)

(Scene: Ethan, Leo) (After defeating the creatures, Ethan comms Leo)

• Ethan: Okay! It looks like I've got things under control.
• Leo: Great. You seem to have a keen sense for these things. Check out the containers in the the northeast corner of that block.Break them open and look inside.They should be stocked with emergency supplies.

(End Scene)

(Ethan breaks the containers)

(Scene)

• Ethan: Hm. What's this?

(Receive Sword)

• Leo: A sword is a two-handed weapon more powerful than a saber. Don't forget to equip it!

(Fight your way through B-3)

(Scene: Ethan, Leo)

• Ethan: *pant* *pant*

(Ethan's comm beeps)

• Leo: Ethan, are you all right?
• Ethan: This is getting tough!
• Leo: I understand you're worried about your sister, but don't overdo it. If you use a monomate you can recover some of your health.

Access Corridor C-1

(Scene: Ethan, No Vol, Do Vol) (Ethan enters corridor and sees No & Do Vol standing together)

• Do Vol: W-What are we gonna do?
• No Vol: Calm down! I need to think.
• Do Vol: B-But we...
• Ethan: Huh? What are you two doing here!?
• No Vol: It's that kid from before! Well, I guess ya didn't make it out in time either, eh?
• Ethan: Something like that. Look, I guess we never finished what we started back there...but I don't have time right now for the likes of you. Later!
• No Vol: Hey, hold up! Just a second there. We were, uh, wondering...Can you help us out a little here?
• Do Vol: Yeah! We can't find our big brother, Hiru.
• Ethan: Huh? You can't be serious? Why do you think I'd help out a couple of punks like you?
• No Vol: You're trying to get out too, aren't you? It's kinda risky to be wandering around here all alone. Come on, lets's help each other out!
• Do Vol: Yeah, c'mon!
• Ethan: ... All right, whatever.
• No Vol: Great, great! I'm the middle Vol brother, No Vol.
• Do Vol: I'm the third brother, Do Vol.T-Thanks for offering to help!

(Ethan calls Leo over the comm)

• Ethan: You get all that, Leo?
• Leo: Roger that, Ethan. The comm terminal should have some spares. Lend them to those two. I'll manage operations between the three of you from here.
• Ethan: Thanks!

(No and Do Vol join your party) (End Scene)

• No Vol: All Right! Lets do this!
• Do Vol: Yeah! Do this!
• Ethan: Those two sure got a lot of spirit...

(Scene: Ethan, Leo, No Vol, Do Vol) (Fight your way to the locked door. Leo comms Ethan)

• Leo: All right. From there, go forward.
• Ethan: Huh? If we're going forward, we'll need to find a way to unlock this door first.
• Leo: What? Doors in that area are supposed to open automatically in the case of an emergency. Oh. Wait a minute. I think I understand why. A little while ago I received a report from the troops who are making their way there. With all those creatures running around, it looks like the security system has been compromised.
• Ethan: So then what are supposed to do?
• Leo: Calm down, Ethan. The security system has the ability to repair itself to a certain extent... But since the system's been under abnormal stress, you'll need an info Key. If you access that console in front of the door, it will tell you what info Key you need. Try to eliminate the creature that's causing all the disorder and you should receive the Info Key.
• Ethan: All right, I can do this. I think. I'm gonna need your guys' help.

(End Scene)

• No Vol: I guess there's no way around it.
• Do Vol: We got your back.
• Ethan: (thinking) Well, it's for your guys' sake as much as it is mine!

(Try to exit back to the previous area)

• No Vol: Hey! Try to remember which way we're supposed to go!
• Do Vol: Why're you trying to go back?
• Ethan: Geez, sorry!

(Trial Start) (Ethan and the Vol Brothers fight from corridor C-2 to the Linear Line Platform)

Linear Line Platform

(Try to exit back to Corridor C-1)

• Ethan: I've got to get to the Linear Line platform to help Lumia.

(Approach Hiru Vol at the bottom of the platform) (Trial end)

(Scene: Ethan, Vol Brothers)

• Do Vol: B-Brother!
• Hiru Vol: Dol!? Is that you?
• No Vol: Hiru! We've been looking all over for you!
• Hiru Vol: You're here, too, No? Are you guys all right?
• Do Vol: W-We're fine. How about you, Brother?
• No Vol: We've been so worried!
• Hiru Vol: Hey, don't worry about it! I can take care of myself against a couple of measly monsters.

(Ethan calls Leo over the comm)

• Ethan: Hey Leo, it looks like they're taken care of on this end.
• Leo: Perfect timing. The relief forces have just arrived. I'm on my way to meet up with you now.
• Ethan: All right.

(End Call)

• Ethan: Hey!
• Hiru Vol: Huh?
• Ethan: Looks like the GUARDIANS relief forces are on their way. If you go back the way we came you'll probably be picked up by them. I've got to go find my sister, so I'm gonna head out now. Later.
• Hiru Vol: Hey you! Wait up!
• Ethan: What now? make it quick! I'm in a hurry.
• Hiru Vol: You did a pretty good job of taking care of my brothers. I guess I should thank you. So... well...
• No Vol: You really helped us out of a tight spot!
• Do Vol: Yeah, thanks.
• Ethan: Okay...
• Ethan (thinking): (This is kind of weird.)
• Hiru Vol: All right. So we're all squared now. Back to normal. Don't think this changes anything between us. Next time we run into you, it's not like we're gonna be pals or anything.
• Ethan: Boo hoo. I'm heartbroken. No, really.

(Vol Brothers exit) (End Scene)

(Continues down the Linear Line rail)

(Scene: Ethan, Young Woman)

• Voice from the rubble: H-Hello?
• Ethan: Huh?
• Voice: Is... Is someone out there?
• Ethan: Is someone stuck under there?
• Voice: Thank goodness! There's somebody out there! I can't move! Please help me!
• Ethan: All right, give me a sec. Hm. I guess I'm gonna have to get rid of all that debris.

(Ethan comms Leo)

• Ethan: Hey Leo, you go any ideas?
• Leo: Let me think...Is there a set of goggles in that equipment I gave you? I think there should be.
• Ethan: Huh? I don't remember any goggles.
• Leo: Look harder.
• Ethan: Uh... Here they are! I must have missed them before.

(Receive Goggles) (Goggle Tutorial)

• Leo: Use the goggles to see which parts of the debris can be safely moved. Then use your weapon to break up those pieces and get that person out of there!

(Ethan inspects the rubble with the goggles and destroys it)

• Young woman: Thank you so much! You're with the GUARDIANS, aren't you?
• Ethan: Me? Well I...
• Young Woman: Just as I thought! you can always rely on the GUARDIANS! The GUARDIANS are truly the salvation of our colony... No, the salvation of every single person in the Gurhal System!
• Ethan: Ah, okay. Uh... if you wait here, the relief forces should meet up with you.
• Young Woman: Okay. Thank you so much! I owe you my life. There are probably others that need saving, so good luck!

(Young woman exits. Ethan comms Leo)

• Ethan: ... Did you hear that, Leo? I'm no Guardian. I don't deserve her praise.
• Leo: It sounds like her gratitude went right where it should have. You saved her. That's the truth.
• Ethan: I guess... ...
• Leo: What's the matter, Ethan?
• Ethan: Nothing. I mean, I was just thinking about all the people we helped. The Vol brothers, that girl... It's just, I think it was a good thing, that's all.
• Leo: Is that a revelation?
• Ethan: Well, before... I think I was... mistaken.
• Leo: About what?
• Ethan: My father was a Guardian. When I was a little boy, he died in an accident during a GUARDIANS mission. He was trying to save a stranger's life. It was so hard on mom, making ends meet alone. And then my mother died soon after having Lumia. The two of us had to go live with our uncle.
• Leo: I see.
• Ethan: So ever since I was little, I've always disliked the GUARDIANS. I mean... They took away everything we had. I really hated them for that.
• Leo: That's not unheard of. We work alongside danger everyday. Sometimes lives are lost in the process of carrying out our duties. But you know, I've never considered leaving the GUARDIANS. Not once. I'm proud of the work we do. And I'm sure your father felt the same way. And surely your mother was also proud of the work your father did.
• Ethan: Yeah, I guess that's probably true. ... There's no time for this! I've got to find Lumia, and soon! That line's gotta be around here... somewhere.

(End Scene)

(Exit to second Linear Line platform)

• Ethan: This is... There's no mistaking it. This is the platform by the viewing plaza!

(Proceed to the end of the platform)

(Scene: Ethan, Lumia) (Ethan rushes up the rubble where Lumia is trapped)

• Ethan: Lumia! Lumia! Are you hurt?
• Lumia: Ethan? No, I'm okay.
• Ethan: The GUARDIANS relief forces are on their way, so hold tight!
• Lumia: The GUARDIANS? But you hate the GUARDIANS!
• Ethan: No, it's okay. I think I may have been wrong about them.
• Ethan: !?

(The room begins rumbling, and a SEED-Vance appears) (End Scene)

(Trial Start)

• Lumia: What is it? What's happening?
• Ethan: It's all right, Lumia!
• Ethan (shouting): Get as far back as you can!

(Defeat the Seed-Vance) (Trial End)

(Cutscene) (Leo enters the corridor followed by two other Guardians)

• Leo: Hey! You all right there?
• Ethan: Yeah.
• Leo: Sorry it took so long. Is your sister okay?
• Ethan: Yeah, she's safe.
• Leo: I meant to come earlier, but we were shorthanded everywhere. Guys, get working on that rubble, okay?
• Guardians: Yes Sir/Right away!

(The Guardians rush off to free Lumia. Leo looks over at the dead SEED form)

• Leo: So... you did this?
• Ethan: Yeah...
• Leo: Alright.. Not too bad, kid. Tell me... ever thought about becoming a Guardian?
• Ethan: Huh?! Well... it could be interesting. I'll think about it.

(Camera changes to the Guardian members helping Lumia out of the rubble)

• Guardians: This way/Watch your step.
• Lumia: Ethan!
• Ethan: Lumia!

(Ethan and Lumia rush to one another and embrace)

• Ethan: I'm so glad you're okay...

(Cutscene) (A news report broadcast showing images of destruction across the Gurhal system)

• Reporter: The strange meteorites that have plagued the first and third planets Parum and Moatoob have finally reached the second planet Neudaiz early this morning with truly horrifying results. The meteors left a path of destruction in their wake, contaminating the earth wherever they struck.The local fauna has grown increasingly hostile, along with reports of new and unknown lifeforms. Due to the shape of the meteorites, and emerging unidentified life forms from within, authorities have begun calling these objects, SEEDS. The SEED destruction which started at the Alliance Centennial Ceremony has reached astronomical proportions. A galaxy-wide state of emergency has been declared.The planetary governments have mobilized the Alliance Military Force for relief efforts. Stability is the AMF's first priority, in order to prevent any further casualties. Obel Dallgun, who leads the GUARDIANS, has issued a statement. Presented here is a portion of his speech. But could it be too late? Experts are predicting another wave of SEED attacks soon. Reporting live from the Guardians Colony.
