Part 79: Taking the Spear of Heroes 2

Welcome back!





Yeah, of course that was the right choice.

: Thank you, Feena!



That looks like some sort of Heroic Spear. Better not touch it.

: This is it! This is the spear! Here goes!



Being a key item at the end of a dungeon, the Spear of Heroes is clearly load-bearing, and the tower begins shaking.



Yup.



"It", in this case, being the important, mysterious, void-floating, possibly metaphorical staircase.



Welp. There's only one thing left that can fall, really.



Feena did choose the right path, but the Spirit Stone is saving us now.



: What, what is this light?



I love how matter-of-fact Gadwin is here.

: Justin successfully pulled out the Spear of Heroes! He is all the more a true hero!

: That doesn't matter! Justin... what happened to Justin!?

And it's at this point that this screen begins shaking.



It's crazy how much Feena's eyes bug out here.

: Mmmmph! This isn't working! Only a few hours remain until the tower collapses! Feena and Sue, you go outside first! I will wait here until Justin returns!

Feena turns back around to face the mirror here.

Also, all this screen shaking is making gifs hard to get.

: No way! I will wait here! I won't leave Justin. Justin, Justin!

: Feena!? Get a grip! Surely Justin is all right!

: I will stay.... I made a promise to Justin. The two of us are in this together. ....

: It's inevitable!



And with that, Gadwin grabs ahold of the others...



... And hauls ass with them out of the tower.







The tower shakes, and, with a bright flash, vanishes completely.





: Justin....

: The wretched tower has left together with the light. Oh, Justin, have you left us, too?



Gadwin is supposed to be a serious character. Supposed to be.

: Justin is not dead, you silly Gadwin!



: Hey... Justi-i-n....

Yep. She kicks Gadwin in his armored shins, and only starts crying because she misses her best friend.

The rest of this cutscene is voiced out. If you've been wondering why this game gets a lot of flak for bad voice acting, this is your first big example.

(Video plays for the rest of the update)



: Wha-what's happening?



: Justin!

: What?!



: Ow!



: Are you alright? Are you hurt?!

: Are you kidding? I'm just fine!

: Wow! Justin, you're like a real hero!

: That's right! You're just the man I knew you to be!

: Re-really? Com'on Gadwin... you're gonna make me get embarrassed.







: Wha-what the heck was that for?!



There's something about this line. Not sure why I like it so much, but I do.



: Justin... you fool! I.... Look at me, I'm crying! You have no idea how worried I was...!

: Feena....

: Promise me, Justin. Promise that you'll never, ever worry me like that again.



: Justin... you... you had me really, really worried.



Sue desperately tries to change the subject.

: Look! Look, look everyone! Over there! It's a rainbow!



And on that note, we are unceremoniously given control back so that we can walk back down the mountain. What with all them mold birds back again.

See you next time when we get back to Dight! And actually have some gameplay!
