As the Auguste and imperial forces clash, Lyria begins to sense something intense from Leviathan: hunger. It's decided that they move to a safer location.

After receiving a report from Eugen and company, Auguste's cavalry arrives to give backup. The island seems to have devolved into chaos.

What do we do! H-how did this happen so fast?

Eugen

Easy there, little miss. It'll be okay. The Auguste cavalry's here.

Eugen

Leave it to them. They'll have things cleared up in no time.

Katalina

In that case, we should look for the Black Knight. Given the situation, that's
probably—

Lyria

Wait, Katalina. I've been sensing something strange for a while now.

Lyria

I think something bad is going to happen. There's a deep rumbling within me...

Katalina

Could that be... Leviathan?

Lyria

Oh...

Katalina

Oh?

Lyria

It was just hunger.

Katalina

...

I could grab a bite too, now that you mention it.

Lyria

That's not what I meant.

Lyria

I searched for Leviathan, and hunger is what I felt!

Vyrn

Hey now. Nothing wrong with being hungry. Right, Gran?

Dialogue Option

We'll eat later.

Lyria

I told you I'm not hungry, Gran!

Katalina

It's fine! You're a growing girl after all!

Dialogue Option

Let's eat now.

Lyria

I told you I'm not hungry!

Katalina

Well, we should probably take a little break anyway.

Rackam

That's the spirit! Let's find ourselves a nice, safe spot to set up camp!

Gran and the others move away from the frenzy of the battle to try and find a place to rest. But they end up finding a group of hostile monsters instead.

Lyria

I'm not all that hungry, but I might as well... Nom, nom.

Vyrn

All that protesting and yet here you are eating anyway.

Katalina

You must be exhausted after all that concentrating on Leviathan. Eat up and get some of that energy back.

Eugen

They act like they're on vacation or something. Are they always like this?

Yeah. I mean, as far as I know anyway...

Monsters

Grooaar!

Rackam

Whoops. Looks like break time's over. We've got monsters coming our way!

Gran and the others try to distance themselves from the opposing armies, but one group of soldiers refuses to be left behind.

Eugen

We should be able to avoid getting caught up in the fighting if we stay this far back.

Rackam

Yeah, but then we have to deal with swarms of monsters instead.

Er... It looks like we're gonna have to deal with more than just that.

Vyrn

Uh-oh... We've got troops creeping up on us. Think they're from the empire?

Katalina

We need to get out of here either way. They likely won't chase us too far if they see we don't intend to fight them.

Lyria

Hm? There's something drawing closer... and it's weirdly familiar...

Gran and the others are being tailed by a group of imperial troops, which Katalina notes is a violation of the empire's code. The appearance of monsters forces the crew into a bitter fight.

Imperial Agent

...!

Vyrn

Hey, Katalina! They're clearly tailing us!

Katalina

What do they think they're doing? Imperial soldiers are forbidden from chasing retreating enemies...

Rackam

This isn't good... Looks like we have monsters coming from the other side.

Katalina

We're trapped! Which should we take care of first, Gran?

Who cares? We're gonna have to fight both of 'em eventually!

Vyrn

I think the choice's been made for us already, Gran! Monsters first!

The group of soldiers chasing Gran and the others is led by Captain Pommern. Having let Lyria and Katalina slip through his fingers on Zinkenstill, the enraged captain has set his sights on revenge.

Katalina

Those guys aren't giving up... Do you think they have a grudge to settle with us?

???

Why yes, yes we do, my dear Lieutenant!

Lyria

I-I know that voice...

Vyrn

You were there when we met Lyria and Katalina!

Pommern

Indeed I was! This is our first encounter since Zinkenstill, you vile turncoats!

Katalina

Captain Pommern?

Pommern

Ah, how long has it been since you called me that...

Katalina

Why are you here? I'll never let you have Lyria!

Pommern

Lyria, you say? Oh, no. I'm quite finished with that.

Katalina

So why are you here? Why are you chasing us?

Pommern

What a simple question! I am here for—

Pommern

Revenge most sweet!

Pommern

Prepare yourselves! You won't be scampering away from me this time!

Rackam

Ugh. Another annoying weirdo for us to take down...

I don't care what you want with them... but I'm not gonna stand here and take it! We're breaking through!

Gran and the others once again find themselves face-to-face with Furias and the Black Knight. Furias boasts about Adversa, the empire's latest and greatest weapon, which has already been loaded onto his battleship.

Katalina

With all these imperial dogs and monsters all over us, we can't hold out forever...

Black Knight

Humph... That old fool can be quite tenacious when he sets his mind to it.

Rackam

What'd you say?

Furias

Hm? What have we here? Are you trapped? You are, aren't you? Someone do something interesting before I die of boredom!

Eugen

If yer feeling bored, why don't you take us on yourself?

Furias

Staining my hands? Gross. Besides, this place is already finished.

Lyria

What do you mean finished?

Furias

You'll see soon enough! You ruined our research lab! Oh, yes, you did!

Furias

But the weapon we found in Magnani Reef... It's finished now. And it's on my beautiful battleship.

Rackam

Say what?

Furias

Oh, I would just looove the chance to show it to you... but unfortunately I have to leave you in the care of old Pommy here.

Furias

My only job is to make sure you don't get away! So don't let those monsters get you, okay?

With Gran and the others trapped, Furias boasts of his plans to use Adversa to destroy the Auguste Isles. But a messenger shows up and tells Furias that his battleships are being swallowed by the sea one by one.

Pommern

It seems that your bad deeds have finally caught up to you!

Furias

Bravo, guys! Fantastic show! But too bad. So sad. This is the end of the line.

Furias

Time to get rid of this unsightly island! Somebody activate Adversa!

Vyrn

Argh... Looks like this might really be the end, Gran.

Lyria

No... This can't be happening...

Katalina

Don't worry, Lyria. Whatever this weapon of theirs is, I'm sure it's nothing to—

Lyria

No! I mean the imperials! They're being swallowed up!

Black Knight

It's time.

Furias

Didn't you hear me? Why aren't you moving? We need to hurry up and finish this—

Imperial Soldier

Sir! I have orders from the empire!

Furias

What's this? Come again? What do they mean, retreat? What are they? Stupid?

Imperial Soldier

B-but, sir! More than half the airships we've anchored have been swallowed up by the sea!

Furias

What is the meaning of this?

Furias

Blast!

Furias

Back to the battleship! We've got work to do!

Pommern

G-General?

Rackam

I'm not sure what's going on, but we've got a chance now!

Katalina

Agreed. Gran, let's take advantage of the confusion to escape!

Lyria comes to understand that Leviathan and the sea are one and the same, and that Leviathan swallowed the airships to heal itself. An enraged Pommern attacks the crew.

Huff... Huff...

Why are the empire's airships getting swallowed up by the sea?

Black Knight

No, it'd be more accurate to say they were eaten.

Vyrn

Black Knight!

???

...

Black Knight

I do believe you understand now. Don't you, Lyria?

Lyria

Y-yes. The hunger I've been feeling was... Leviathan's.

Lyria

Which means that Leviathan's the one who ate the airships...

Black Knight

Precisely. Leviathan has been changing for quite some time now. Becoming one with the sea. Giving it power.

Black Knight

But the damage done to it by the sea's pollution was too much for it to recover from on its own. It compensated by eating the airships.

Black Knight

And having done that, Leviathan is now stronger than ever before.

Black Knight

It was only a matter of time until it manifested. What a flock of fools... but even scum can be useful from time to time.

Eugen

The sea... Leviathan ate the airships?

Eugen

You blasted fool! Do you have any idea what you've done? The sea is everything to Auguste!

Black Knight

Quiet, worm! Do you intend to place the blame at my feet? Have you no shame?

Black Knight

Disgusting. Come, my dear. We have our part to play.

???

...

Vyrn

Hey! Wait!

Pommern

No, you wait! You've left me with no choice...

Pommern

I'll perform your last rites myself!

Vyrn

What the? He just transformed!

Pommern

This is what the empire has been working toward... Behold the power of dark essence!

Pommern

I'll crush every last one of you to dust!

Rackam

Tch... Talk about stubborn. Let's go, Gran! It's time to show them what the good guys can do!

Gran and the others defeat Pommern, but it's only a matter of time until Leviathan swallows the Auguste Isles. Lyria senses power from Auguste Falls, so they head there to try to quell Leviathan's rage.

Pommern

Grgh... Cough...

Pommern

This isn't over...

Pommern

Next time, my face will be the last thing you see. Prepare yourselves to meet your maker!

With a pained look on his face, Pommern flees in the direction of the imperial army.

Rackam

Whew... Looks like the empire's fleeing Auguste en masse.

Eugen

Of course they are. This is a whopper of a situation.

Eugen

I just got word from one of my comrades. A lot of unpopulated islands are being swallowed by the sea... Or eaten, I guess.

This Leviathan's a serious eater. Once it realizes how much weight it's gonna put on, it'll be too late!

Vyrn

This is Leviathan we're talking about here. I don't think it's ever gonna stop eating.

Katalina

Which means the populated islands are in danger too.

Lyria

We need to stop it. No, we will stop it! Right, Gran?

Katalina

Now I get it... The damage done to Leviathan by all that pollution is what sent it into a frenzy!

Katalina

Perhaps Lyria can use her power to subdue it...

Katalina

But we have to figure out where Leviathan is first, don't we?

Lyria

I can feel it, Katalina... Its power seemed scattered before, but now it's focused in a single place.

Lyria

Over there... I can sense its presence over there!

Eugen

That's where Auguste Falls is.

Rackam

There you have it. Off we go to save the islands!

The great primal beast Leviathan is now a calamity threatening Auguste, and it has taken form in the massive falls, fierce and ferocious.
