Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals

by Blackbelt Bobman

Part 29




I meant the codec needed to watch it, gawrsh. Watch it in VLC or something.

ANYWAY so how about then dual blades.


So that old man sent us to look for some land of mermaids.


Oh gee I wonder what could be here


The gate opens! Well I mean we do have that Jade and shit.


Oh wow


Through the front door. . . ?


But they're so delicious



Hmm, you don't say? Doesn't sound like anyone I know.


They sell Zircon equipment woo


This looks like an important palace type thing.


Queen fishy.

How did you manage to open the door of the submarine cave?

The Elder in Chaed gave us this ball.

Oh yeah? How's he doing these days?

Huh? Well, he's living with his granddaughter and seems pretty happy.

Good, good.

Do you know of a sword called Dual Blade?

Dual Blade. . . now I know why I sensed some form of energy since you arrived. Are you the ones fighting the Sinistrals?

Can you tell?

I have an ability you do not possess. Anyway, it was about Dual Blade, was it not? I know of a legendary shining sword in the Submarine Shrine. It may be Dual Blade.

Where can I find this shrine?

North of here lie three small islands in a circle. It's in the center of them. But nobody knows who made that shrine, or when or why. Nothing is known about it. You are still going, yes?

Of course.


uh oh when have I heard that one before

The current?

Yes. There has been some sign that it would, but it suddenly happened today. It became extremely fast. Once you are in, it's impossible to come back out.

Well, that will stop anyone from going close to the cave.

And also. . . well this isn't confirmed but. . . Princess Piara seems to be missing. She loves to swim near that cave, so. . .

Piara?!

I will assemble a team and go.

No, it's too dangerous. Besides, the Ghost Ship is said to appear near there. Listen: stay away from the cave.

Who is Piara?

My daughter. Now if you'll excuse me, I have something to do that is NOT going to that cave, because that would be silly.



She said she isn't though.

You have no concept of Maternity, clearly.

I'm more concerned about the current changing. Something might be moving.

Something moving under the water?! Man, never heard THAT plot device before.


Here's this cave, also note that on top of these islands are three towers that are said to go closest to the gods or some shit. We'll go there, eventually.


Yeah this is exciting woo


The door opens! Mysteriously! Of course when I came here before, the door didn't open.


But I want to be, a part of your world!

I don't think we have time to go back now.

I guess not. It's coming!

What is it?


THE GHOST SHIP!


The single lamest boss ever. It cannot attack you, so it either defends syduck: or summons really weak flaming skull monsters that die in one hit anyway so it basically can't do ANYTHING. Let's Zap it!


Zap is the stronger version of Fry, and since this is a GHOST ship, it does a lot of damage to it. And when he summons stupid enemies, I can just multi-target Zap to take them both out.


Butts shows off his fish kicking abilities.


That was so ridiculously simple.


Maybe!



I told you not to come here!

Well we disobeyed, because we couldn't leave our queen in peril!

Well. . . thanks. . . I guess. . .



I was always told all humans are selfish. Now I know I was wrong.

Don't judge so quickly. It's true that there are many selfish people.

Thanks a lot, Artea! Are you saying there are no selfish Elves?

Well, a lot fewer than humans!

That's because the absolute number of elves is less!

Oh no don't argue.

Nah don't mind them, they're not being serious.

Really?

Yeah they do it because they're equals.

Wow, humans are so interesting.



What's the deal with that ball?

Well it's like. . .


welp


That's pretty obvious.

And then guy says

and it was good


They are. . . FOR NOW!

Then we talk about how we feel a strong energy presence, and then the mermaid guys, in a hurry, think that palace is the exti and rush towards it. Big mistake.


And they're dead. A voice says that ONLY THE CHOSEN MAY ENTER!


Yeah. The queen tries to go in but we stop her


with DROWSY! But of course we're chosen so let's go in. Also they mention something about how super beings created everything, but now they want to destroy. It doesn't make any sense, really. Something about how the power to defeat the Sinistrals is given by the super beings. It doesn't make sense, I guess they're supposed to be like the creators or something.


Are you ready?


Are you ready for the single greatest glitch in the history of video games?


Welcome to the submarine shrine! No, my emulator isn't fucked; this is in the PROGRAMMING OF THE GAME. THEY OVERLOOKED A GLITCH THIS MASSIVE IN AN AREA THAT IS MANDITORY! GOOD JOB TAITO!


woo


That 2x2 square is Dual Blade.


And then of course, it rings when Maxim gets close to it, but not anyone else. And then Daos shows up.



Who are you?!??!?!?


What the fuck emoticon did I use for him in the other thread? Oh wait I remember now.

The boss of the Sinistrals. . .

'Tis I.

Why? Why do you want to destroy the world? Why do you kill without reason?!!

Because of Dual Blade.

What?

Dual Blade belongs to us! But Dual Blade has begun to ring.

What has that got to do with anything?

It means a human with the power to fight us has appeared! And we. . . cannot allow that!

What an excuse!

The strong were meant to rule the world! And yes, we are the strong, so we shall rule!

As if! I'm going to take this Dual Blade and defeat you!



Ha! I see you are not worthy of weilding Dual Blade!

N. . no. . .

You are no enemy without Dual Blade! Watch as we reign over all with Terror! Hoohah!


Suddenly we find ourselves warped to Chaed.


Hmm this sucks


That's what he looks like, all I saw was a black blob before.

You who are too accustomed to peace have lost the faith! Now taste real terror!


Apparently Doom Island can shoot lasers in this game.


Yeah Chaed is pretty much fucked.


And then of course everyone died.

Did he being us here just to make a point?

I wont forgive him! He won't get away with this!

Do you understand now how powerless you people are?!

Daos, you monster! I'll get you if it's the last thing I dooooo!!!!!!! (I hope you watched the dracula thread)

come up here and say that!

if only I could. . . but you're up in the sky. . .

Hmm I wonder if we could figure out some way to, you know, fly or something.


We'll never find help HERE!



who what

That's what I named that island.

yeah so how the fuck am I supposed to get up in the sky?

I knew you'd say that, so I'm going to remodel Excerion into an air ship.

What, you mean a ship that can fly in the air?

Not fly, float! I'm going to put a big baloon on Excerion! The plan isn't difficult, but. . . We'll need another engine. This one doesn't have enough power.

Can you make it?

It took me years to make that engine, I can't just make another one right away.

So we're boned, basically.

Well, not exactly, you see. . . North lies the kingdom of Grantz, a militaristic land with no relations to other countries. Some say they're out to rule the WORLD! Their technology is far advanced, especially tanks, tey're said to have a bunch of those. And powerful engines.

So you think they'll lend us an engine?

Of course not!

So we steal one.

But stealing is wrong!

we have no other choice. Also, there's no way to get there from land or sea. People say there's no way to get there, but. . . there must be a secret.

Hey remember when we were in that cave and shit and that guy from Grantz was there? We should check that out.

Okay well next update we'll check out Grantz and see if we can get all up on that shit. And I'll use House's M form, but only for that update and only because blackflare watched the WHOLE ancient cave video.
