~ Tata and the Frog ~


 
Denadoro Mountains


Tata

Aaagh! Th, this is a terrible place! Y, you’d best run away while you can!


Kilwala

Mountains’re nice. This’s the life. Mountains’re nice. Man, you’re nosy. Here, take this.


 
Denadoro Mountains (cave)


Mune

I’m the wind! Whoosh!

       (after approaching Masamune)

Stop! Are you here for the Masamune?
      • Yes  »  Thought so… Wait a second, okay? Oh big broooother… Where are you, Masa?!
      • No  »  You’re not? Then you should leave quickly.


Masa

What is it, Mune? Not again!? So! You want to get a name for yourself by grabbing the Masamune?
What a buffoon!


Mune

Humans are so…silly! It’s how you USE the sword that’s important…not who owns it!


Masa

You can’t even understand something as simple as that. That’s why you’re human.


Mune

What should we do?


Masa

The usual…test them. You can entertain us for awhile.


Mune

All right! Here we go!!! Whooosh!

 

Mune

      (after battle)

Hey they’re pretty tough.


Masa

Only Cyrus made it this far.


Mune

What should we do?


Masa

This time it’s for real!


Mune

All right, this is it…


Masa

Yeah. We mean business! With Masa’s bravery and…


Mune

…Mune’s knowledge! Two become one!!

 

Mune

      (after battle)

They beat us, big brother…


Masa

That was fun!


Mune

Will they fix us? Will they find us an owner?


Masa

Yeah, it’ll be all right.


Lucca

So this is the Masamune…
But it looks like it’s been broken for ages.
   


Robo

So! The Masamune is not just a myth…
But it has long been broken.


Masa

Allow me! We’ll ride the wind to the base of the mountain!


Mune

Good luck to you.


 
Melchior's Hut


Lucca

Say, where’s Melchior? There’s a note? What does it say?    


Marle

Hey, looks like Mr. Melchior isn’t home! I wonder what this is? Let’s see here…


note

Sorry, but I’m out on the road peddling my wares. Please come back some other time. Melchior


Lucca

What!! The geezer’s gone when we need him the most!


Marle

He’s gone when we need him the most!



 
San Dorino Inn


owner

Last I heard, the Hero went to the Denadoro Mountains to find a sword. I hope he’s okay!


 
Tata's House


Tata

I…I’m sorry everyone. Some frog guy dropped this in a cafe. I thought I’d sell it, but then everyone started calling me a "Hero." I couldn’t bear to get rid of it! I just can’t fake it any longer. I’m no Hero…! I’m so ashamed! Here. Please take this!


Tata's father

Scoundrel! I knew this was all a sham!


Tata

Listen to YOU! Who was going around telling everyone that you raised a Hero, huh?!


Tata's father

How could I have fallen for that? For my dear departed wife’s sake, I vow to keep my feet on the ground!


Tata's grandfather

Oh, my grandson! He secretly told me, "My next goal is to command the Super Legendary Space Ship, XR-RX!" Hahahahaha!!


 
Porre Café


mistress

I guess Tata’s home now. It was so quiet without him… But I’m glad he’s back.
It was a bit TOO quiet around here…


woman

So Tata was a fake after all! Then where’s the real Hero?


man

And I thought the Hero was from here. What a let down…


 
Porre Elder's House


woman

Oh, that Tata! He’s just too loveable.


 
Cursed Woods


Frog

Thee hath returned? Th, the Hero Medal! Aye… Then thou hast seen the lad. Yet there’s nary a thing I canst do
against Magus. The legendary Masamune is required to fight Magus. And I’ve no right to wield it. Please leave now…


Lucca

A broken sword… It’s part of the Masamune! It’s engraved with archaic letters. I think I can read it. Um…mm… …M…e…l…c…h…i…o…r!


Robo

A broken sword… A part of the Masamune! Something is written in archaic script. I will translate… …… R…o…i…h…c…l…e…m? Roihclem? System error! I reversed it! It says "Melchior!"


Marle

Melchior? That guy in Medina Village? What does this mean, Crono?


Lucca

"Melchior?!" That guy in Medina Village?


Frog

Nary a soul remains to mend’eth the Masamune.


 
Melchior's Hut


Melchior

You’re back again? Come to see my collection? Th, this sword…it’s the Masamune! How did you get it?


Lucca

Why would your name be engraved on the sword?


Marle

Why would YOUR name be on that sword?


Melchior

…It’s a…long story. You do want to hear this story, right?


Lucca

Of course! Tell us about the Masamune! Is it possible to reforge it?


Marle

Yes! Tell us about the Masamune! Can you fix it somehow?


Melchior

Hmmmm… It might be possible if we could get our hands on some Dreamstone, which the sword is made of.


Marle

Dreamstone? Where can we get that?


Robo

Dreamstone…? No data in my memory banks of such a rock.


Melchior

You can’t find it anymore. It was a red stone that was once used as money. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been available for a very long time. I doubt that you’ll ever find the red stone, but if you bring some to me, I will fix the Masamune. Keep the sword with you until then. Would you like to buy something?


 
End of Time


Old Man

Dreamstone?… I’ve heard of it, of course. It’s a prehistoric mineral…
You might find it way back in the prehistoric era.
