Narration

Thousands of years have passed since the fall of the ancient world.

The world is a wasteland and the few remaining human tribes live in fear of bio-genetic terrors; artifacts born of the sciences of old, left behind as gruesome reminders of ancient perdition. Scattered across the land, the people strive only to survive in this age of fallen grace.

However, from amidst the ashes, a human Empire rose to power. Utilizing the power of artificially engineered humanoids, called Drones, created by the Ancients, the Empire was able to resurrect the primeval armament production facility: the “Cradle”.

Ultimately, the Empire succeeded in creating a biological weapon of incredible power: the dragonmare. With its new dragonmares, the Empire swept across the entire Continent, wiping out anyone who dared resist.

FMV Narration

Chained… How long had it been…

since she had been free of this dark prison?

She could not remember…

FMV (Opening)

Cavalry: Captain Evren! I have located the girl!

Cavalry: All units, move in!

Yes sir!

Cut-Scene

Evren: What?! A dragon?!

Heh… How intriguing. All units, prepare for attack!

Cut-Scene (Episode 1 Event 1)

Officer: Target in sight! It’s escaping on an airborne creature!

Captain: Deploy the airships! We must not let it escape!

Yes sir!

Boss: Assault Carrier Vermana

The shutters have been damaged! The airships cannot be deployed!

We must put an end to this!

The target is in front! Forward cannons, open fire!

{Then the first time you go around to the boss’ left:}

Remote mines ready!

{Then when you have taken away a third of the boss’ health bar:}

All systems malfunctioning! What the hell is that thing…?!

It’s… a Dragon unit. Contact HQ immediately!

{Then if you destroy one of the forward cannons:}

The forward cannons have been destroyed!

What about the Cavalry? Where the hell are they?!

{Then when you have taken away two thirds of the boss’ health bar:}

We’re at critical hull integrity, sir! We can’t hold out!

Why won’t that thing die?!

Cut-Scene

The core has been damaged!

We’re losing lift! We’re going to crash!

Cut-Scene (Episode 1 Event 2)

Why did you save me?

Evren: That’s the creature that destroyed the carrier!

Cavalry: It’s the dragon that destroyed the last Empire!

Silence!

Whatever it is, its legacy ends here…

Evren: Abadd!

You dare betray the Empire, Drone??

Fool!

I shall be back for you, little girl!

All units, retreat!

Orta… I have been searching for you.

You… you know who I am?

I have foreseen your destiny.

You must save this doomed world from itself.

Please chase him!

Cut-Scene (Episode 1 Event 3)

The Dragon and the girl are heading north. They appear to be following the Drone, Abadd.

Captain Evren and the Mare Squadron are currently in pursuit of the target.

The legendary Dragon of Destruction… Perhaps the dragonmares led it here…

Capture the girl and the dragonmares within the Cradle will be completed!

Yes sir!

Narration

Until that day, those cold, stone walls and heavy chains were all of this world that Orta had known.

She had never questioned why she was there. She did not even know her own significance.

But, that night, she was freed from her prison. And for the first time, she felt as though her eyes were finally open.

That night, her world was changed forever.
