~ The Hero Appears ~


 
Truce Inn


patron

Have you heard?! The legendary Hero has appeared! He went to see the King. Now Magus’s army hasn’t a chance!


men

#1:  They say the King has been wounded! Is this the end?

#2:  No, the Hero has appeared! He’ll save us!


man

Is it true? I heard Magus’s army has taken the bridge!


 
Truce Residence


Banta

I had almost completed the bell when Magus’s army wounded our King. I’ve lost the will to work.


Banta's wife

I hope this bell will ring in a new world of peace.


 
Truce Residence


woman

I heard Magus’s army is at the bridge. We’re in trouble now!


man

Wearing the "Hero Medal," the chosen one has appeared! We’re saved!


 
Zenan Bridge


Knight Captain

Our rations have run out! Have the supplies from Guardia Castle arrived yet?!


knights

 
#1:  Our food supplies have run out.

#2:  We cannot defeat Magus’s army by ourselves. Our only hope is the Hero.

#3:  I never believed those stories about the Hero and his legendary medal…
       Now it turns out he’s our only hope.

#4:  Forming a protective ring around the Hero, the best knights of the Kingdom kicked off the offensive.

#5:  Does the Hero alone have the power to take on Magus’s army?

#6:  It appears our knights and Magus’s troops are locked in battle, at the center of the bridge.
       May we emerge victorious!


 
Guardia Castle


soldiers

#1:  Halt! Who goes there! Oh, it’s you again. Magus’s troops had us cornered but the appearance of
       the Hero, saved us.

#2:  Hero? He just went to see the King a moment ago.


Chancellor

Sir Crono! The legendary Hero has finally appeared! He just arrived a moment ago, to meet the King.


knights

#1:  The King was injured, and is recuperating in bed.

#2:  Queen Leene has been at his side all night.


 
King's Chambers


knights

#1:  The King fought bravely against Magus’s troops. Had he not heard of the arrival of the Hero, he might have
       fought to the death!

#2:  I’m so ashamed… I treated him badly, thinking he was just some brat. Luckily, he forgave me. A hero, HE IS.


attendant

At this rate, Queen Leene will also succumb.


Leene

Cyrus must have sent the boy to us.


King Guardia

Oh, Crono… I’ve let down my kingdom. Since we cannot locate Cyrus, our sole hope rests on the boy who has the hero medal… He searches the southern continent, for the sword that can defeat Magus.


 
Knight’s Quarters


soldier
upstairs

The Knight Captain has gone to Zenan Bridge. Many of the wounded from there, are resting below.


soldiers

#1:  Magus has already defeated 3 fierce warriors.

#2:  There’s a food shortage on the front lines.

Dining Hall


soldier
upstairs

The chef’s in a snit, trying to get food to the front lines while keeping the King healthy.


assistant

Hey you, is this food good enough for the King?


waitresses

#1:  We’ve got to nurse the King back to good health!

#2:  Chef, hurry with the food that goes to Zenan Bridge!


chef

      (said only after visiting Zenan Bridge)

What? My brother?! He’s… That’s what you get for thinkin’ that you’re the only ones fighting for your country!


assistant

Hey! Stop bickering! Grow up!


chef

… Pipe down! What do you know?!


assistant

Men are such fools!


chef

Hey, hey, come on now!!


waitresses

#1:  He acts that way, but the chef always worries about the Knight Captain.

#2:  Those two are really looking for a way to make up.

 
 

chef

      (at entrance as Crono leaves)

Wait! … Take this with you!

      (receives jerky)

And, this is for you guys. Take it, will ya. And tell that fool… He had better come back alive!


 
Zenan Bridge


knights

#1:  Mere mortals can never expect to beat Magus’s troops.

#2:  Aaagh!

#3:  The Hero has made it across the bridge somehow, but our troops have suffered heavy losses.

 

Knight Captain

 
Sir Crono! Is that for us?
      • Yes.  »  Food rations! The cook…he has saved us all! Sir Crono, if I do not make it back…
                  …give my brother my thanks…
      • No.  »  Magus’s army has the advantage now. Keep back!

      (fighting is heard)

WHAT is going on here?!


knight

Magus’s troops have launched an attack! They’re breaking through our defenses!!!


Knight Captain

Stop sniveling! It shames the Knights of the Square Table! We shall DESTROY Magus’s troops and bring honor to our King!


knight

But, we are far outnumbered!


Knight Captain

This is our last line of defense. We must let no one through!


knight

Understood!


knight

#1:  Magus’s army is awfully well trained!


Knight Captain

Our troops are suffering greatly. Sir Crono, will you assist us?
      • Yes.  »  We are eternally in your debt! You will find Magus’s troops across the bridge! Take this with you!
                            (receives Gold Helm)
                      Magus’s troops are highly trained. Please be on your guard.
      • No.  »  I see… We Knights of the Square Table cannot surrender.
                    We shall hold this position to the last man!


Ozzie

I’m Ozzie, Magus’s top general! Those who dare defy Magus have to answer to me!
Yes my children… Give ‘em a taste of doom!

      (after battle)

Those wimps’re stronger than I thought.

      (following said by 2nd party member)


Marle

Wait up, already!


Lucca

He’s pretty swift when it comes to running away.


Robo

We’ve got him.

 

Ozzie

 
Seems I misjudged you. But I won’t do that twice! Grrrr! You’re through!

      (after battle)

Drat! That’s IT! Now you’re finished!

      (following said by 2nd party member)


Marle

Don’t mess with Crono, or you’ll really be sorry!


Lucca

Poor sport, huh?


Robo

You cannot win. You had best surrender.


Ozzie

Go Zombor! Crush Sir Magus’s enemies!


knight

      (after battle)

We held Zenan Bridge with Sir Crono’s help.


Knight Captain

Thanks to Sir Crono, we held the bridge! But, unless we defeat Magus, this is an empty victory.


 
San Dorino Market


woman

The Hero has appeared? That means the epic battle will begin!


clerk

Welcome, what can I do for you?

      (after sale)

Thanks a lot!


 
San Dorino Residence


boy

Mom said I can’t play outside ‘cause of the monsters. I’m so bored!


woman

Oh! Where could Sir Cyrus be? Surely he hasn’t deserted the kingdom?


old woman

I heard Magus knows arcane magic which the monsters can’t match.


old man

 
Is it true that the King was injured? What’s going to happen to us, and to our country…?

      (upon Crono’s departure if in possession of the bromide)

Hey! Is that a Naga-ette Bromide you’ve got there?! I’ll trade you something good for it. How about it?
      • Let’s trade!  »  Really, you mean it? Yahoo! Now just hold your horses and I’ll be back in a jiffy!
                                It’s unlocked so you’re free to take it. And I’ll be taking this. Hee hee…
                                Don’t tell Grannie. Hee, hee, my very own Naga-ette pet.
      • I don’t want the geezer’s loot.  »  Hmph! Fine then, suit yourself.


 
San Dorino Elder's House


Elder

I want you to find the mythical "Rainbow Shell." Here’s some front money. We’re counting on you Toma!


Toma

Hey, no problem! ‘cause, like, I’m the mythical explorer. Good match, eh chief.


Elder

Hmm… I’ll be waiting for good news.


Toma

With that settled, I’ll grab a bite before I go.

      (if spoken to)

I’m busy right now. Let’s talk later.


Elder

We can use the "Rainbow Shell" to make some reflective armor. It’ll be strong against magic!
But that guy’s a little flakey… Was it a mistake to trust him?


old woman

The chief of Sandorino Village lives here. Are you foreigners? Did you flee from Magus’s troops?


woman

Magus has 3 fearsome henchmen, Ozzie, Flea, and Slash. They’re tone-deaf, evil fiends!


man

Magus’s lair is on an island to the east. Sheer cliffs make it inaccessible.


woman

Only the ancient sword, "Masamune," can defeat him. And only the Hero can wield it!


girl

The Hero has come! He’s strong and he’s gonna thrash those monsters!


 
San Dorino Inn


woman

Are Magus’s armies really closing in? Well, the mythical Hero has appeared so we’ll be all right!


man

Want to hear my tale?
      • Yes.  »  Goblins with huge hammers, roams the Denadoro Mountains to the east.
                      But burn their weapons, and they’re pussycats.
      • No.  »  Well…I’ll tell someone else…


man

Did you know? They say the mythical Masamune lies deep within the Denadoro mountains.
But it’s guarded by terrible beasts.


nun

Clear your conscience, the end of the world is coming.


old man

Many people go to the inn. If you seek someone, ask there. By the way, Energy Whirls will dissipate if you use your "Slash" attack. There’s balance in nature.


man

Magus is trying to bring forth an immense evil… If he succeeds, there will be nowhere to run. We’ll all perish!
That’s why I’m living it up now!


Toma

Hey, how have you been? You pay my tab and I’ll let you in on some stuff. How about it?
      • Sure.  »  Thanks a bunch! Hey, one more, please! Some creepy, dangerous frogs have taken over
                       the southern woods.
      • No way.  »  Fine! Go away, I don’t have time for you. Now for that "Rainbow Shell"…
                            I guess Porre would be the first place to look.


owner

You’re looking for the Hero? Go south, to the village of Porre, where they say he’s from.


woman

Have you met the Hero already?
      • Yes.  »  Wow! I wish I could just get a glimpse of him… I’ve got butterflies!
      • No.  »  I haven’t met him either. I wonder what the champion of the world looks like? I’m so excited!


maid

A sword called the "something-or-other mune" was made hundreds of years ago.
No one has the skill to make a sword like that anymore.


employee

Helloooo there! This is the R & R hotel. It’ll cost you 50 G! Well? Will you stay?
      • Yes.  »  Oh yes! Well then rest and relax!
      • No.  »  What a shame! I’ll wait for you to come back…


 
Fiona's Villa


Fiona

My husband Marco hasn’t returned from the war. But these woods mean a lot to us, so I’ll guard them until he returns.


 
Porre Inn


clerk

20G in advance… Well?
      • Yes  »  Very well!
      • No  »  Come again soon.


 
Porre Market


soldier

I’m gonna put on this armor and fight that stupid Magus! Yeeeoooww! It’s heavy!


girl

Don’t overdo it!


 
Porre Café


old man

A strange monster came by the other day, mumbling about Queen Leene and the Masamune…
That shore were an ugly frog! Hardy har!


man

I can’t believe the legendary Hero was a boy from this village! Did you hear the latest?
      • Yes.  »  Everyone’s talking about him! I bet his old man is proud!
      • No.  »  Well, remember that the legendary Hero is from this village then!


mistress

Little Tata must be away… We haven’t seen him in awhile. But things are a lot quieter without that brat around.


woman

I can’t believe the legendary Hero is that naughty runt, Tata!


man

Have you heard about the magical cave? The one east of the Denadoro Mountains? I saw a rock wall there pop open, and a gaggle of ghouls just walked right in! Best to leave Magus and his cronies alone, though!


Toma

Hey, you again! How ‘bout buying me a soda?
      • Sure.  »  Thanks! I’ll wish you a safe journey. I tracked down the Rainbow Shell that the chief wanted.
                       It’s on some small island… Only thing is…I don’t know WHICH island. And the money he
                       gave me is gone. What should I do?
      • No way.  »  What a miser! I don’t even have enough for grub!


 
Tata's House


Tata's father

My son’s the legendary Hero! It must have been all that oatmeal! And to think that I’m his father…!


Tata's
grandfather

My grandson’s a brave Hero! That’s from my side of the family! Heeheehee…


 
Porre Elder's House


woman

If only I had some Jerky… What a great meal I could make…


girl

I’m gonna marry Tata!


man

Next to the bed is a treasure box. Open it, and the contents are yours.


Elder

The "Magic Cave" lies under a mountain east of Denadoro.


woman

Tata received the Hero Medal! At first I thought it was fake! He must have done something very brave!
He’s probably up north, looking for the legendary sword.


 
Cursed Woods


Frog

Who’s there!? ‘Tis thee, Crono! Thou art here to practice thy skill in swordplay? What?! The King hast been injured? …… I see… ‘Tis nary a thing I canst do… Please be on thy way. The Hero, I am not. I can do naught.
