Introduction

10 years have passed since the battle with Dark Falz... Hunters have now taken a new role. This is the prologue to Episode III. Blue Star Memories

Pioneer 2 city

Military officer
You may think it's weird to find me with a gun in a place like this, but you can't tell if the Administration or military may try to enter here! Pioneer 2 has really become an unsafe place!
Boy
I want to be a hunters when I grow up! But my mama tells me I can't. She says you can't make a living as a hunters now... The Guild has no jobs, and the creatures on Ragol seem to be disappearing.
Girl
Humph! Hey, even a child deserves a chance to complain sometimes. For us Ship Children, this ship has been the only home we know. This new "independence from Coral" isn't something we understand! Grrrr. It makes me so mad.
Matha
Oh, are you... It must be... You're [NAME], right? Have you forgotten me already? It's me, Matha Grave. [NAME], you look exactly the same as when I first met you. As for me... Well, I don't know if I've aged gracefully over the years... But I've gotten married and I even have a child now. Ha ha ha.
Teifu
Lady Matha's daughter is so adorable... I'm sure she will grow up to be a proper member of the Grave family! I'm so excited. I can't wait for that day to finally arrive! *sniff*

Enter the client room. You approach Break.

Break
Are you [NAME]? My name is Wilm Break. I guess the old man asked you to help us. I'm his first disciple! Everybody just calls me Break. Well, what anyone calls me doesn't really matter at all... ... ... Well, as I said earlier, you must've been sent by the old man. I've been looking forward to seeing such a renowned hunters... But you don't exactly look like a heroic person... You really think you're up for this?

Orland appears on the scene.

Orland
It is insulting to talk to someone like that, Break!
Break
!

Orland approaches Break.

Orland
Our master is always telling us that we shouldn't judge other hunters by their appearance!!

Orland turns to you.

Orland
Well, it's a pleasure to meet you! My name is Orland. I've been in training along with Break under our master, Nef...
Break
Well, I think that's enough, Orland. We better stop our self-introductions and get to our master. If we're late, who knows how the old man will react...

Orland turns to Break.

Orland
Yes, you're right, Break.

Orland turns to you.

Orland
Well then [NAME], let's get going. Come on, we better hurry!

Break and Orland run into the warp and take it.

Take the warp. You appear in a small room, and walk up to Nef.

Nef
Oh... I'm so glad you finally arrived, [NAME]. My name is Nef Miyama. I hope these two pupils of mine haven't caused any trouble for you. Please forgive me that I couldn't come greet you myself. Now regarding my request, I'd like you to try out my simulation. I developed it in conjunction with the Lab using the VR system. ... ... ... Hmm...? It looks like you're a little confused. Perhaps you're wondering why we even need a VR system now... Especially since we rarely see any creatures on the surface of Ragol. Ah, now you must be thinking that perhaps I can give you an answer. However, I regret that I cannot answer that question. Well, at least not directly from my mouth... However, there is one sure thing that I can tell you. [pauses] Both the Lab and the Administration feel that we must continue... Continue training hunters that is... Now before we get you to start this simulation... There's one condition I'd like to include. Well, two that is... Those two little children there... I want you to bring them with you when we run this VR simulation. Of course, this isn't a request from the Lab, but rather my selfish demand. But you're a highly skilled hunters, aren't you? You need a handicap to keep this challenging, right?!

Break and Orland turn to Nef.

Break
Hey, wait a second, old man! You don't need to ask this person for help. The two of us can handle this on our own! Right, Orland...?!
Orland
R-right... Master, we can handle this on our own!
Nef
Be silent, you two!!! [NAME]. I am well aware that this is an unreasonable request. It doesn't matter if you think I'm a foolish teacher... who dotes on his pupils. That said, I feel it is necessary that I show these two pupils of mine how a true hunters works! You will take on this job, won't you!?

Break and Orland turn to you.

Break
... ... ...
Orland
... ... ...
Nef
You must know that this VR system was created to truly "test" hunters. Should even one team member become incapacitated... the test will end. Brace yourself before you undertake this trial! Then, when you are ready, I'll transport you from this teleporter. Are you ready?!

Break and Orland join you.

Nef
If you are ready, I'll transport you from this teleporter. Are you ready?!
Ino'lis
*sigh* I think you two are close enough. Hmm, but you seem so perfect together! Kranz is so much more handsome than you guys! Hee hee hee. Hee hee hee. *sigh* My heart's all a flutter now. I better relax. Huh? Do you want to hear nice little story? You have to keep it a secret, OK? Kranz and I promised each other the other day that "we'll get married". Oh no, not now. In the future... We couldn't possibly get married now. Did you think we could? Well, we'll definitely get married in the future. Ino'lis' hunches often come true! Ha, ha. That's nice, isn't it?

VR Temple Beta

Main area

Go through the first door. It closes behind you.

Orland
The time has come, Break!!

Break turns to Orland.

Break
Yeah. Finally, the time has come to show our true mettle!
Orland
It's actually pretty exciting. All our training has finally paid off. This is it!

Break turns to you.

Break
[NAME]! I need to let you know something right now. I still don't think of you as our leader. Just because you have a Hunter's License doesn't mean you're a leader. I'll only allow those who are stronger than me to order me around!
Orland
Are you saying the only one who can protect you is just yourself?

Break walks over to the switch.

Break
That's right![walks to switch] Then, now, let's get down there! Is everybody ready!?

Break activates the switch, which opens the next door.

As you fight the monsters...

Orland
Here they are! Prepare yourselves!!
Break
Don't lower your guard! You can't tell which attack's coming next!!

Enter the next passageway...

Orland
... ... ...

Enter the next room...

Break
... ... ...

Enter the next passageway.

Break
... ... ...
Orland
... ... ...
Break
Are all these "ferocious" creatures as weak as this? I should've never been nervous as this...

Break turns to you.

Break
But now that you know, let's clear the VR system as quickly as possible!

Orland turns to Break.

Orland
Yes, let's do it! After this, I bet our master will finally admit us. Come on!!
Break
OK, let's go Orland!
Orland
Aargh!

Break and Orland run off.

[NAME]
... ... ...

As you try to catch up to them...

Orland
Uh, Break... Look, the bridge...!?
Break
Ahhh!!! It's a trap!

Defeat all the enemies. You see three doors unlock.

Orland
Well, that was a surprise... I didn't think there could be traps as large as that...
Break
Yeah. That was a bit unnerving...
Orland
On the other hand, [NAME] is turning out to be a great help! I'm pretty impressed!
Break
Oh boy, there you go again. When Orland finds someone who's even just a tad stronger than him, he gets into a "hero worship" thing with them in his head. You shouldn't take it as a real compliment, he says "the hunters he...
Orland
Break!! That was...
Break
Errr... Sorry! The old man told us we've got to keep our traps shut...
Orland
... ... ...
Break
Well, we're just talking cause there just isn't any action! Unless there's a bunch of creatures, there's no challenge here!
Cal terminal at stage 2 door
Stage 2: Labyrinth
Break
Looks like the main stage start here!
Orland
But why is there a "2" here? Does it mean that there's another stage?
Cal terminal at stage 2 door
Stage 2: Labyrinth
Cal terminal at stage 3 door
Stage 3: Darkness
Cal terminal at stage 1 door
Stage 1: Rush

You can do the stages in the order you want; it doesn't change any dialogue. However, the scenes that occur after returning to the main area are always in the same order, even if you get a B rank, resulting in no scene, and an A rank later; there will be no skipping.

Accessing a terminal at the end of a stage again will just repeat your results.

Stage 1

Terminal
"Rush" Here, you're on the clock until you reach the goal. When you reach the goal, your rank for the stage will be determined. Are you ready?

Yes

The door opens

Terminal (after saying "Yes")
"Stage 1: Rush" in progress

Go through the first door. It closes behind you.

Break
It says "Stage 1". So I don't think it should be too hard. Let's take it nice and easy!

Orland turns to Break.

Orland
We can't do that! Remember, we're being timed here!

Break turns to Orland.

Break
Orland, you've got a point here! Ok, let's make sure we get the best time record! You better not slow us down, [NAME]!

Enter room 1...

Orland
Come on, monsters!

Enter room 2...

Break
Better be careful, or you'll get squashed!

Enter room 3...

Break
Run, run!

Enter room 4...

Orland
Huh? Are there any creatures here?
Break
Ahhh!!

Kill many monsters in room 5...

Orland
These creatures! How many of them are there? They keep coming and coming...
Terminal
"Stage 1: Rush" cleared Time to clear the stage = [NUMBER] min. [NUMBER] sec. Clearing Rank: A

Break and Orland take a couple steps forward. Orland turns to Break.

Orland
We made it. We got Rank A!

Break turns to Orland.

Break
Heh, heh. That was so easy!

Main area

Go through the door. It closes behind you.

Orland
If we clear all the stages, the Master will admit us, won't he!?

Break takes a couple steps forward.

Break
He better... That old man treats us like such babies.
Orland
Rico and Flowen were already hunters at the same age we are...

Orland takes a couple steps forward. You do as well. Break turns to you.

Break
[NAME], you must've already passed the Hunter's License Trial when you were our age, right?

Break takes a couple steps away. You take a couple steps forward. Orland turns to you.

Orland
I envy you... I want to get a Hunter's License as soon as possible. Then I can go and fight! I want to take an active role in making history. I want to be such a famous hunters that I'll be called a hero!

Break turns to Orland.

Break
So do I!!

Orland moves a couple steps away.

Orland
Despite that, our Master always discourages us. He's always putting us down. He says, "You kids are half-baked!"...
Break
But, you know, if we can clear this VR trial... I believe that he might be impressed. After all, it was the old man who designed this simulation!

Break and Orland take a couple steps away, then turn to you.

Orland
[NAME]! Regardless, we need to clear this VR field anyway. And just maybe, we'll go through the "Hunter's License Trial" next! Please help us make this happen.

You take a coupl steps forward.

Break
We need your support!

Stage 2

Terminal
"Stage 2: Labyrinth" Here, you're on the clock until you reach the goal. When you reach the goal, your rank for the stage will be determined. Are you ready?

Yes

The door opens.

Terminal (after saying "Yes")
"Stage 2: Labyrinth" in progress

Go through the first door. It closes behind you.

Orland
"Labyrinth"...

Break turns to Orland.

Break
What's the matter, Orland?

Orland turns to Break.

Orland
I just have a bad feeling about this one...
Break
I see! That's because you tend to run straight ahead without thinking, Orland!
Orland
This is clearly something that will tax your mind!
Break
Haa haa ha... Well, it'll be all right as long as we're together!
Orland
Hmm...

As you go through the labyrinth, Orland will say several things.

Break and Orland will complain in the fire room.

Orland
Hot... Hot...
Orland
Too hot...
Break
That's hot!

When you run towards the goal...

Orland
Hey, that's the goal!
Terminal
"Stage 2: Labyrinth" cleared Time to clear the stage = [NUMBER] min. [NUMBER] sec. Clearing Rank: A

Break and Orland take a couple steps forward.

Break
Great, we got Rank A!

Orland turns to Break.

Orland
That was easier than I thought it'd be.
Break
Yeah, right! You were just following behind [NAME] the entire time!
Orland
Humph! I could say the same thing about you, Break!!
Break
Uhhh... ... ... Well, anyway, we got Rank A! We owe it all to [NAME] here!

Main area

Go through the door. It closes behind you.

Break
But then, [NAME]... You are able to keep us with us, and that's no small feat. Us being the disciples of the old man after all!

Orland turns to Break.

Orland
Hey, Break! You shouldn't talk like that! [NAME]'s already our senior. We should respect him!

Break takes a couple steps forward.

Break
What are you blathering about, Orland? There're much better hunters who we could use as role models. And just being senior doesn't mean we have to respect them!

You take a couple steps forward. Orland does as well.

Orland
Ah, real heroes... Donoph, Zoke, and Flowen... Now those were legendary hunters that people have heard of... I wonder what they were like... I wish I had a chance to meet them...

Break takes a couple steps forward.

Break
But Orland... You've never really mentioned these hunters before...

Orland takes a couple steps forward.

Orland
You're right! My real heroes are hunters who are ever stronger than those 3! ... ... ... I suppose...

You take a couple steps forward. Break turns to Orland.

Break
Well, why'd you bring up these guys then? How can you admire people whom you've never met?

Orland takes a couple steps forward.

Orland
Hey! I just like them, okay!?

Break takes a couple steps away.

Break
Well, I for one don't believe the stories about them.

VR Spaceship

Terminal
"Stage 3: Darkness" Here, you're on the clock until you reach the goal. When you reach the goal, your rank for for the stage will be determined. Are you ready?

Yes

The door opens.

Terminal (after saying "Yes")
"Stage 3: Darkness" in progress

Go through the first door. It closes behind you.

Orland
Darkness... I wonder what kind of evil creatures are waiting for us?
Break
Do you think they'll be anything else we'll need to deal with as well?

Orland turns to Break.

Orland
Of course. Remember, the Master created this simulation.[turns to Break] He wouldn't let things get too predictable! I'm sure there are some devious traps waiting for us! We have to be careful!

As you go through the stage, Break and Orland will make comments.

Break
Ha, ha, ha... It's totally dark...
Orland
... ... ...
Break
It's dark again...
Orland
Phew!
Break
It's so dark we can't see anything, let alone the creatures...
Orland
It's dark. [NAME], can you keep standing on that switch?
What's this switch?

As you leave the darkness and make your way towards the goal...

Orland
Uh, that's so bright...
Terminal
"Stage 3: Darkness" cleared Time to clear the stage = [NUMBER] min. [NUMBER] sec. Clearing Rank: A

Break and Orland take a couple steps forward.

Orland
Great, we got Rank A!

Break turns to Orland.

Break
This isn't so hard once you get used to it!

Orland turns to you.

Orland
[NAME], you've been tremendously helpful, too! Thanks! I'm surprised that the darkness didn't bother you at all!

Break turns to you.

Break
Looks like you really earned your title of "hunters". I think a little more highly of you now!

VR Temple Beta

Main area

Go through the door. It closes behind you.

Break
Okay, it looks like we've finally cleared all three stages.

Orland turns to Break.

Orland
You know, even though this VR system is supposed to test our limits, it was pretty much a snap...

Break takes a couple steps forward.

Break
And what were you expecting? A dragon 10 times as large as us, or maybe giant worms perhaps? Come on, Orland.

You take a couple steps forward. Orland does as well.

Orland
Well...

Break takes a couple steps forward.

Break
It's foolish to believe all those stories we hear in the city. Such creatures couldn't possibly exist!

You take a couple steps forward. Break and Orland turn to you.

Orland
[NAME], what do you think? Are the stories true?
Break
What!? Are you kidding!?

Orland turns to Break.

Orland
See! Master also talked about this!!

Orland moves a couple steps away, then turns to you.

Orland
So [NAME], do the words "Dark Falz" mean anything to you?

Break turns to Orland.

Break
Hey, Orland!
Orland
Master told us... It was responsible. The reason why the native creatures of Ragol became ferocious... And the reason why the people on Pioneer 1 disappeared! And he said that Rico was absorbed by it...

Break takes a couple steps forward.

Break
Until one day... hunters from Pioneer 2... They released Rico from Dark Falz...
Orland
The Four Heroes... That was what Master called them. It was because of them that things started to improve. Even the creatures on Ragol were affected by this event. Now these hunters are the very definition of a hero!

I know.

Break turns to you.

Break
And here I thought they were just stories to encourage Orland... Just something to keep him training...
Orland
The "Four Heroes". They're real!! I wish I had a chance to fight with such great heroes!
Break
If such hunters really existed... Wow... I sure wish I could meet them...

You take a couple steps forward.

Orland
I want to become as strong as those "Four Heroes". Definitely!!!

Nope. Never heard of them.

Break
You see, since Orland wants to become a hero, it's only natural that he would believe such stories.
Orland
Hmm...

Approach the boss transporter.

Break
Oh, what's this!?
Orland
That teleporter wasn't here a moment ago, was it?

Break approaches the Cal terminal.

Break
Stage 4: Crimson It seems... This is the final stage!
Orland
Well, whatever's waiting for us in this stage, it can't be anything worse than what we've encountered so far!
Break
Yeah, I agree! Let's clear the stage and completely finish this simulation!
Orland
Yes!!

VR Temple Final

Break
Whoa, what's this!?
Orland
Help, help me!!!

Defeat Barba Ray.

Break
... ... ... ... ...
Orland
... ... ... ... ...
Break
... ... ...
Orland
... ... ...
Break
... ... Is this the end?
Orland
... We've defeated it.
Break
Ah, ha, ha, ha...
Orland
Ha, ha...
Break
We made it, Orland!!!
Orland
Yes, we've completely cleared the VR fields!!!
Break
We cleared the simulation that the old man developed...
Orland
And we've become much stronger without realizing it...
Break
We're tough!

Break swings his katana.

Orland
Yeah, we're strong!

Orland swings his partisan.

Break
We're the best!!!

Break finishes his swing.

Orland
The best!!!

Orland finishes his swing. A moment of silence.

Break
All right, let's get back to the old man and give him our report.
Orland
Master's going to be so surprised!

Pioneer 2 city

You appear before Nef.

Nef
Oh, you've finally returned! You took a little longer than I would've expected. Nonetheless, this is what I have come to expect from you, [NAME]. Especially when you have to deal with these two handicaps! Now, about the result... You cleared Stage 1 with a Rank A... You cleared Stage 2 with a Rank A... You cleared Stage 3 with a Rank A... What a great job, considering you had to deal with these children. Only [NAME] could do this!
Break
What are you saying?! Did you know what [NAME] did for us? If [NAME] wasn't with us, we wouldn't have made it!
Orland
Yes, that's true!
Nef
I know, I know... You two also did well...
Break
Heh heh. But old man... Does that mean we've finally proven ourselves to you?
Orland
Will you allow us to finally take the trial that'll make us hunters?!
Nef
Well... You show much promise. But, you are still lacking. And it is only when you realize what you lack that I will consider...
Break
Wh-at!!!
Orland
What do we lack, Master?!
Nef
The fact that you don't know means you are not ready yet.
Break
Sheesh, the old man is always like that...
Nef
Ah, youth... Now then... Thank you very much for your work. This is a token of my appreciation. Please accept this.

Oh, that outfit... Are you part of the hunters now? I also joined the hunters the other day. Ha, ha. hunters are great! Citizens can't use items. But us, we can use them and get them cheap, too! And best of all, hunters are cool! Popular with women!! Meseta, women and moderate thrills. Truly, hunters are great!

True ending

VR Temple Final

If you got rank A on all the stages and confirmed the stories that Orland talks about, instead of the red transporter there will be a triangle of PSO characters.

Break
Huh? What are these?
Orland
What is it? It appears to be characters... Some sort of program maybe?

Break approaches it.

Orland
What are you doing, Break? Stop it! That's dangerous!!
Break
It seems the data used to create the boss we fought a little while ago was too big for the cache to handle, so now it's spilling to another area.

Break touches the triangle.

Break
Hmm...

Break gets into a guard stance.

Break
Whoa, what's this?
[NAME]
!!!!!

Orland takes a step forward.

Orland
Break, get away from there!!!
Break
I, I can't move!!!
Orland
Get out of there, Break!
Break
Orland!!! No...
Orland
Break!!!
Break
No, I'll be sucked in! [NAME], help... Aargh!

Break disappears.

Orland
Break!!!

The alarm goes off.

Operator
Emergency! Emergency! Error #01 An unexpected error has occurred. The VR system will shut down in 10 minutes. In 10 minutes, the sensor link will be terminated. This action is harmful to the mental functions of sentient beings. All hunters in the VR field are advised to leave the field now. Emergency message will be repeated. Error #01 ... ... ...
Orland
Uh, what should we do?
Uh, what should we do?
Break... Uhh...
What should I do..., what should I...
Break..., Break...

Follow me!

Orland
... Huh? Okay, lead the way! Remember, we've got to find Break!!!

Orland joins you.

Return to the Lab!

Orland
No! I could never leave Break behind!!!

VR Temple Beta

The field is all computery. Orland will call out for Break while you look for him.

Approach Break, who is lying down next to a blue triangle of PSO characters.

Orland
Hey, Break! What's happened? Better get a grip on this situation!

Break gets up.

Break
O, Orland...
Orland
Are you all right? We've been looking for you, Break. What happened to you?
Break
Ah... ... ... ...!! I-I remember, where's that monster!?
Orland
Monster...? What are you talking about? And more importantly, unless we get away from here, the VR system...
[NAME]
!!!
Orland
This is...!!
Break
Oh no! No way!!

Everyone gets into a guard stance.

Orland
Darn, I can't move!
Break
Grrr...
Orland
[NAME]... No!
Break
Noooo!!

Break and Orland disappear. You do as well.

VR Spaceship Final

Break
Here it comes!!

Defeat Gol Dragon.

Break
Did we succeed?
Orland
Huh!!?

A field of light appears with the shadow of a man in it.

Break
... ... ... I understand, it's clear now...
Orland
It seems that the real last boss has finally appeared...
Break
OK, let's go Orland!!!

Break readies himself for combat.

Orland
Yes, Break!!!

Orland readies himself for combat. Both run towards the light. The camera switches to the man standing in the light, who is Nef.

Nef
Those idiots!!!

Nef casts a Technique.

The light disappears.

Break
Ouch...
Orland
Ugh...
Nef
Have I taught you nothing? What did you learn from this?
Break
Old man, what are you trying to say?
Orland
Of course! Until the last...
Nef
Do you really think so?! Do you still think you could have accomplished this on your own? Well, you're wrong!
Orland
What do you mean?
Break
... ... ...
Nef
Yes, Break. You look like you're starting to understand. Let me help. If the VR system failure was real, what would've happened to you by now?
Orland
You said, "If it was real..." -- You've got to be kidding me!?
Nef
I first told you that this VR was developed to truly test hunters! [pauses] The true value of a hunters is determined by the actions they take when they run into an unexpected situation. So, Orland, how about you?
Orland
What? ... ... ...
Nef
Now this is the real lesson I sought to teach you two. Now recall... Who was always standing beside you, while you were running around doing whatever you felt like? Who drew out their power when you needed it in battle?
Break
... ... ...
Orland
... ... ...
Nef
Hmm, you appear to have finally figured it out. *Who defended you two in battle, risking their own life? Who gave you the support and guidance you needed? Yes, [NAME]. A real hunters. *And that is the very reason why [NAME] is adored as one of the "Four Heroes".

The music stops. Break turns to you.

Break
!!!

Orland turns to you.

Orland
!!! Oh? Then...!?
Nef
Orland. [pauses] This is one of the "Four Heroes" you've been yearning to fight with. [pauses] [NAME] the [CLASS]!
Break
Are you serious...?

Orland takes a couple steps forward.

Orland
... It was only by being able to depend on [NAME] that we could finally make it...

Orland turns to Break.

Break
Indeed. We were blind, and only sought to look after ourselves. Our only focus being to defeat as many creatures as we could...
Nef
You understand. It seems the both of you understand this lesson well!! It was worth the effort to have [NAME] come over here! *Now, I only have one trial left to give you both! *I've put your names on the list for the next Hunter's License Trial. Pass the exam on your first attempt so you do not shame your Master! And find friends that you can trust!

Break and Orland turn to Nef.

Break
Really, old man?
Orland
Is it true, Master!!?
Nef
Unless you forget what you've learned today, you'll pass the the Trial!!
Break
Old man, that's great!! I'll get such a high score, it'll shock the examiners!!
Nef
Hey, don't get carried away again!
Orland
Ha, ha, ha...
Nef
Now [NAME]... It was due to your efforts that I was able to teach them. How can I thank you... Oh! Please take this with you! I believe it will be helpful to you someday.

Epilogue

A.U.W. 3094

A mysterious coup against Dol Grisen and his new administration took place, but failed.

During this year, an ominous feeling could be felt throughout Pioneer 2.

Break and Orland were finally able to acquire their Hunter's License.

The rumors of two young men who inherited the legendary Miyama sword technique spread in no time, and became known to everyone on Pioneer 2.

A.U.W. 3095

Planet Coral issued a single statement. Pioneer 2's proclamation of independence as a separate state was officially accepted and approved.

A.U.W. 3099

Orland, together with several friends, took an active role working on quests for the government, acting behind the scenes. His most important contribution was the arrest of a key person, Han Walt, from the OPSS Incident.

He holds the record of being the youngest person to win the title of Gi-Ei.

However, the man known as Break, who used to always be by his side has not been seen for quite some time...

In A.U.W. 3105

C.A.R.D. technology began being tested and was introduced to a few select hunters who worked through the lab, where it was kept as a military secret.

"Arkz" was founded and started causing "trouble."Now, the tales and battles of hunters continues to grow...

Thank you for playing this Quest. See you again in Episode III!

Rank B in stage 2

Terminal
"Stage 2: Labyrinth" cleared Time to clear the stage = [NUMBER] min. [NUMBER] sec. Clearing Rank: B

Break and Orland take a couple steps forward.

Orland
Oh man... we got Rank B...
Break
Rank B isn't that bad, is it?
Orland
Of course it is. For us. [NAME] obviously got lost along the way...
Break
I guess it was better than having Orland take the lead, though!
Orland
Eh!? How do you know?

In the normal ending, Nef will obviously tell you that you got rank B on stage 2 if you did.
