Dialogue
Elisanne: The reports said there were a large number of fiends amassing here, but this is something else entirely.
Notte: Dude, the whole village is just...gone.
Cleo: It seems their vast numbers were no exaggeration.
The Prince: Come on, everyone! It's time to take these fiends out for good!
Ranzal: Sweet creepin' hell, they just keep comin'! Fine then—see how ya like THIS!
The Prince: Enough of this. It's time to shapeshift! O dragon, lend me your power!
The Prince: *pant* *pant* Did...I get them...?
Notte: Get 'em? You wiped the floor with 'em!
Cleo: Still, this is no time for celebration; I cannot imagine fiends gathering in such numbers without some manner of outside stimulus compelling them.
Ranzal: This whole thing stinks to high heaven, and I wanna know who's responsible!
???: A shapeshifter, is it? I guess the Syndicate finally managed to create the perfect specimen they were searching for.
The Prince: Who are you, stranger?
Mysterious Person: Don't start getting high and mighty just because you managed to sweep aside a few scrawny fiends.
Cleo: What do you know about this?
Notte: Spill it, rando! Was this all your doing?!
Mysterious Person: ......
The Prince: If you are responsible for this, you'll have to answer for it.
Mysterious Person: How rich that you speak of my answering for crimes when it is YOU who should be begging forgiveness from ME!
The Prince: What in the world?!
Ranzal: Uh, boss? I don't want to get all technical, but it looks like this here cat's got a dragon...arm...thingie goin' on.
Mysterious Person: Wyrmbinding!
Mysterious Person: Burn the sight of it into your mind! Let it be etched onto your very souls! This curse—MY curse—will be your end!
Elisanne: Hold on, Your Highness! We're coming!
Mysterious Person: Back off, peons! This is not your fight!
Ranzal: Holy hell! That dragon arm thingie's got a punch like a runaway wagon!
The Prince: All of you, stand down! Leave this to me!
Mysterious Person: Bold words—too bad they'll be your LAST!
The Prince: If fighting is the only way you'll listen, I guess I'll just have to speak to you in a language you understand!
Mysterious Person: Then do it, if you can!
The Prince: Hrk... So...strong...
Notte: Dude, watch yourself out there! This guy is the real deal!
The Prince: Then I'll have to try a different approach... Lend me your strength, O dragon!
Mysterious Person: Ha! You ain't the only one around here who can control a dragon!
Mysterious Person: O dragon that burns inside me, GIVE ME YOUR POOOOOWER!
Mysterious Person: Oh, we're not done... I want more... Give me MOOOORE!
???: STOP THIS!
???: Stop! Your body can't take any more!
Mysterious Person: Quiet, Andromeda! My body is a small price to pay if it means my revenge!
Mysterious Person: Uraaaaaaaagh!
Everyone: *gasp*
Ranzal: Holy crap. He shapeshifted!
Mysterious Person: I'll wipe you from my sight, and then from the world itself!
The Prince: I didn't expect to find myself fighting a shapeshifter here...
The Prince: But even if you CAN shapeshift, I won't be defeated!
Mysterious Person: I will break you! Crush you! End you! I will grind your bones to dust and then blow the dust into the WIIIIIND!
Luca: He's strong enough to fight the prince on equal terms... This is incredible...
Elisanne: This is not the time for marveling with your jaw agape, Luca! We must help him!
Notte: Hang on! Something's happening to angry dragon guy!
Mysterious Person: Urgu... GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Ranzal: He's mowin' down everything in sight! Trees! Buildings! BIGGER buildings!
Cleo: It's almost as if he is not in control of his own power.
???: Oh, I KNEW this would happen... The dragon's power is out of control!
???: I have to do something or else he'll...
Mysterious Person: AAAAAAGH! URAAAAAAGH!
Luca: Uh, wow. Okay. Looks like he took off.
Cleo: Well, THAT was an experience.
Ranzal: Nothin' a hot bath and a roll of bandages won't fix. Bigger question is, who in the name'a hell WAS that guy?
The Prince: I don't know, but I don't think he's related to anyone of my bloodline.
???: Wait, can it be? Are you a member of the Alberian royal family?!
Notte: He sure is! ...Also, wait a sec. You're that dragon from earlier!
???: Yes. My name is Andromeda, and I need your help. Please!
Andromeda: Help me save that man— help me save Aldred!
Elisanne: And how would you like us to do such a thing, exactly?
Andromeda: He has doubtlessly collapsed somewhere, drained of energy after his rampage. If a fiend or other enemy comes along, he'll be at their mercy!
Luca: Did you miss the part where this guy went bonkers and attacked us? Why would we help him?!
Andromeda: I know how absurd it sounds, but you must trust me when I tell you this is all just a...very large misunderstanding.
Andromeda: I don't have time to explain everything. Please help me! I beg you!
Ranzal: Well, boss? Whatcha say?
The Prince: Whether we want to help him or not, we can't leave a violent man like that to wreak who-knows-what kind of havoc.
Cleo: Also, if we can find him, it might help us understand why so many fiends suddenly appeared in this place earlier.
The Prince: All right, I think we have a plan. Let's go, everyone!
