Gran and the crew force aboard the battleship and hurry towards the weapon holding the primal beast.
Rackam
Listen up! The Grandcypher doesn't have any weapons capable of taking down a battleship like that!
Rackam
So the only way to take down Luminiera is to destroy the weapon it's controlling!
Vyrn
Rackam, we get all that. But if we don't slow down soon, we're going to hit the battleship...
Rackam
That's the only plan we've got!
Rackam
We need to bring the Grandcypher alongside the battleship and force our way on!
Katalina
It's like we're pirates now... Look, Lyria, you stick close by me!
Lyria
Okay! You stick close too, Gran!
Rosetta
You know, I like the idea of an assertive helmsman...
Io
But this plan's still full of holes! Isn't there a more subtle way to go about this?
Eugen
Pipe down, all of you! If you can't say somethin' useful, then save your energy!
Rackam
Here we go! Prepare for impact!
Gran and the crew force their way aboard the battleship with their sights set on the primal weapon.
Gran and the crew come face-to-face with Luminiera. Katalina vows to defeat the primal beast and break the bonds that have imprisoned her friend.
Adversa
...
Katalina
What's that? It looks like it's spouting some kind of miasma...
Rosetta
But of course. It's lost to us once before, so it's in a frenzy to protect itself and defeat us.
Vyrn
But the joke's on the primal now! If it's already steaming, it can't control the big guns!
Rackam
We're not in the clear yet. We're up against a primal beast. We don't know what it can do.
Katalina
Primal beast Luminiera! As the guardian knight of Albion, I know you have things you need to protect.
Katalina
But because of your power, someone dear to me is imprisoned here.
Katalina
I've got nothing against you. In fact I blame my past cowardice...
Katalina
But I'm putting a stop to Albion's cruelest legacy right here and now!
After defeating Luminiera, Gran and the crew gain a piece of the sky map. Katalina makes peace with Vira who is now freed from the spell. Gran and the crew set a course for Golonzo to repair the Grandcypher.
Gran and the crew successfully defeat the primal beast Luminiera once more.
After acquiring some of the primal's power and a piece of the sky map, they return to Albion Castle.
Siero
Katalina! You'll be glad to hear that Vira's awake!
Katalina
Oh really? I'll go see her then...
Lyria
Katalina...
Katalina
It's all right. There's nothing for you to worry about.
Vira
Katalina...
Katalina
Vira... I need to apologize to you.
Vira
You mean about the tournament? There's no need...
Katalina
No, it's not just that...
Katalina
To make up for what I did back then, I thought I should stay by your side for as long as you wished.
Katalina
But... I just don't think I can.
Katalina
What I did was wrong and I should be reproached for it.
Katalina
And even so, I want to carry on traveling the sky with this crew.
Katalina lowers her eyes in guilt, but Vira gazes at her with a gentle smile.
Vira
I understand. I've been well and truly defeated.
Katalina
Vira?
Vira
I tried using force. I tried stealing your heart. But I was no match for your crew...
Vira
But I heard the news. You fought to free me, didn't you?
Katalina
Ah! Well, that is... You see, we had to defeat Luminiera regardless...
Vira
That's reason enough! You freed me from this place, Katalina.
Vira
I've had to spend the last six years working as the lord, you see.
Vira
And the thought of being stuck in this city never bothered me much.
Vira
It's just that being unable to go and see you got me so frustrated sometimes...
Vira
But now I'm no longer trapped here. I can freely follow you whenever I wish!
Vira
I'll never give up on you, Katalina. You might as well learn to accept that now.
Katalina
I see... Then I look forward to seeing you again one day.
Vira
Yes! I'll surely see you again sometime... Someplace...
Vira
That reminds me... You're all gathering pieces of the sky map, right?
Vira
Have you already decided where you'll be going next?
Katalina
Not yet... Until now we've just been following leads and running into the empire.
Katalina
If possible, we want to track down the Black Knight and Orchis. But we haven't a clue where to begin...
Vira
If that's the case, then how about you all take a short break in Albion?
Vira
Unworthy as I am, I'd like to offer you the best hospitality that Albion can provide.
Eugen
Sorry, miss, but we don't have time to sit around and relax.
Io
Hm? What are you saying? It's not like we get to relax often, so we should make the most of it!
Eugen
When we defeated Luminiera, the Grandcypher wasn't really able to put up much of a fight.
Eugen
And with the amount of distance we've covered so far, it's gotten quite a lot of damage.
Eugen
If we don't carry out major repairs now, who knows how long we can keep flying?
Rackam
And there are some repairs that we just can't handle ourselves.
Eugen
If we go to Golonzo Island, we're sure to find a special technician to do the tricky work.
Eugen
So that's where we should head to next.
Io
Golonzo? Isn't that the place where all sorts of shady types get together?
Eugen
There are quite a few tough guys there, but, they're not really bad. Right, Rackam?
Rackam
I dunno... Sounds like you know more than I do, Eugen.
Vira
Golonzo? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before...
Eugen
Well, that's because it's famous—or maybe even infamous! You probably heard it come up in chatter somewhere.
Vira
Not quite. I think that short Erste general was talking about it...
Katalina
What? Does that mean the empire is up to something on Golonzo now?
Vyrn
Well, we should just go there and see! That settles it for our next destination!
Gran and the crew set a course for Golonzo in hopes of repairing the Grandcypher and finding out what the empire is scheming.
Meanwhile an air of unrest is slowly spreading its way through the sky.
