Rune Knight at Arms:
It is recommended that you clear Ch. 8: Capta Est Tower before playing.
(Celes defeats a Wolf)
- ???: Huff... Is this the last of them?
- ???: Argh! There's no end!
(Celes defeats another Wolf)
- ???: What on earth...is going on? Why is this happening to me?
- ???: Oh... Ohhh...
(Celes is attacked by Cyan and Setzer Manikins)
- ???: Setzer! Cyan!
- ???: Thank goodness I found you! Where have you—
- ???: Something's not right...
- ???: ...No.
- Manikin: Ohhhgh... Ough...
- ???: You're just imitations...
- ???: It seems I have no choice...but to fight...!
Undefeated General:
- Setzer: ...Blue skies and lustrous clouds. If only I could take the Blackjack for a spin, it'd be perfect...
- Setzer: Hm? Is someone there?
(Celes approaches Setzer)
- Setzer: Celes! Well, this is a surprise! So you were dragged—
- Celes: Not a step! Don't you come near me!
- Setzer: ...Now what's this about? It's rare to hear you joke around.
- Celes: I'm not joking! If you fakes think you can fool me again—
- Celes: ...It can talk? And it isn't sparkling like the others...
- Setzer: Of course. You fell in with some manikins. It happens a lot around here.
- Setzer: How about this? Celes Chere, the brilliant Magitek Knight raised in the Gestahlian Empire.
- Setzer: Numerous feats on the battlefield have earned you a reputation as the undefeated general...
- Setzer: Not to mention your stunning good looks and equally stunning vocal chords. You could be in the opera.
- Setzer: Aren't I well informed? You still doubt I'm the genuine article?
- Celes: Setzer...! It's the real you!
- Setzer: Welcome to a world abounding in thrills and mysteries. It's good to have you, Celes.
- Zell: Aha, there he is. Setzer! You lookin' at the sky again?
(The rest of the party arrives)
- Layle: That never gets old with you, does it? ...And who have we here?
- Celes: Cyan!
- Cyan: Wh-what's this! If it isn't Lady Celes!
- Zell: A friend of Setzer and Cyan? That means a new friend of ours!
- Layle: Hmm... Presumably a friend of Edgar's then, too.
- Celes: Ah, who might you be?
- Celes: A different world... Warriors of light... Another, newly formed Returners...
- Cyan: It is expected that thou wouldst be confused. I had no easy time grasping it myself.
- Layle: Is it that complicated? It all made sense to me.
- Zell: You get used to things too easily...
- Setzer: We're not alone. Terra and Shadow are here, too. Don't you worry.
- Celes: And Kefka... That menace is also here...
- Cyan: That villain would lead this world to ruin as well. We mustn't let him roam free!
- Layle: So is it safe to assume you'll be coming with us? You have a beef with Kefka, too, I'd wager.
- Zell: He's not the only punk up to no good either. You gotta help us out!
- Celes: I have no reason to decline. Allow me to join your ranks.
- Celes: We'll cut short their wicked ambitions!
The World's Rules:
- Terra: Before you met us, you were attacked by manikins of Setzer and Cyan, right?
- Celes: Yes... They looked so much alike, I'm sorry to admit I let my guard down.
- Tidus: Those things sure are a piece of work. When I first saw Seymour's manikin, I couldn't tell either.
- Bartz: They couldn't fool me! I'd never seen the real Galuf sparkle like that!
- Galuf: Good grief. You choose the oddest things to be astute about...
- Galuf: Be that as it may, isn't it true you learnt I was here after finding a manikin of me?
- Celes: In other words...
- Celes: If we see a manikin of someone, it means that person's somewhere out there in this world?
- Shadow: That would be a natural conclusion.
- Terra: Mog says the manikins are created by Spiritus...
- Shadow: If you believe what he says.
- Terra: He didn't seem to be lying, though!
- Tidus: Now, now, arguing won't get us anywhere.
- Celes: Assuming it's true, why would Spiritus make those copies?
- Bartz: Ummm, aren't he and the goddess who summoned us on real bad terms?
- Celes: Enjoying watching allies fight each other? I did point my blade at Setzer...
- Tidus: You mean he's trying to get us all mixed up?
- Shadow: That does not explain the manikins of our adversaries from our home worlds.
- Tidus: Ah, good point...
- Galuf: Manikins usually appear in or around Torsions, a road anyone who's come here has taken...
- Galuf: We're bound to learn the source of the manikins in time, wouldn't you say?
- Bartz: There's lots of enemies with manikins as lackeys, too.
- Celes: So Spiritus makes manikins of anyone who comes through a Torsion...
- Celes: And then places them under the command of the warriors he's summoned...?
- Tidus: Has she got it right?
- Shadow: I can't jump to any conclusions, nor have I a reason to.
- Terra: I'll go ask Mog again. Maybe he has something new to tell us.
- Celes: I'll go with you. There's plenty more I'd like to know, too.
(Terra and Celes leave)
- Shadow: ...Too bad it's a waste of your time.
