«Scene: Ultimon's Fortress. The fortress suddenly rumbles.»
«You»: What was that?!
ElBhe: Whatever it was, it came from outside.
«Outside the fortress, a swirling vortex forms, lightning striking everywhere. Tendrils appear from the vortex.»
«You»: What the heck is going on?
Lord Barrius: ....oh dear. I know this sensation. It's Mother.
«You»: Wait... you mean THE Mother?
ElBhe: The one who created the shadow universe and all of its inhabitants? Yes.
«You»: What is she doing here? Didn't you say she was still asleep?
Lord Barrius: It seems that gathering a large army was only part of the overall plan. Ultimon wanted to conquer Lore and turn it into a place to escape from the influence of the shadow universe.
Lord Barrius: But he must have known that there was always a chance that he'd fail. After all, he knew that Lore wouldn't just allow his brethren to sweep in and take over.
Lord Barrius: Which is why he set up a secondary plan. While he was in the shadow universe, he somehow drew Mother's attention.
«You»: How'd he manage that?
ElBhe: Well, Mother's normally in a state of slumber. So usually, a shadow only gets Mother's attention if it does something very, very bad.
Lord Barrius: I can think of one shadow that once drew that kind of attention by murdering every one of its brethren across an entire plane.
Lord Barrius: What he did, though, is irrelevant. The results are what matters.
«You»: So what happens when a shadow does something so bad to draw Mother's attention?
Lord Barrius: It gets dragged down to one of the deepest planes in the shadow universe and sealed there for all of time.
«You»: ....this Mother of yours doesn't mess around with her punishments.
Lord Barrius: Unfortunately for us, however, Ultimon killed himself before he could be caught and sealed away by Mother.
Lord Barrius: Naturally, as a shadow, he won't be dead forever. But by doing so, he can temporarily hide from her wrath.
Lord Barrius: And you can be sure that she'll ravage all across this universe looking for him.
«You»: So in his mind, if the shadows can't have this universe, then he'll use Mother to make sure that no one can.
Lord Barrius: Exactly.
«You»: So, how do we stop it?
ElBhe: We don't.
«You»: Er, what?
Lord Barrius: I may be her favorite child, but I can tell she's very angry. I can't calm her down in this state. At best, I could only keep her busy for a while.
ElBhe: And the gods of this universe can't stop her by force. She's the creator of their shadows. She's in another league as far as sheer power's concerned.
ElBhe: So the world's gonna end. On the plus side, we have the best seats in the house to watch.
«You»: This is serious!
Lord Barrius: Well, there may yet be one way. When a shadow dies, normally it is reformed in the shadow universe later on, provided its counterpart isn't also dead.
Lord Barrius: Yet Ultimon obviously wouldn't want to reform himself there, because he'd be easily caught by Mother and it would spare this universe from destruction.
«You»: So you're thinking that he's hid the bits of his essence here in Lore, to conceal himself from Mother, yet leave traces large enough for her to know that he's here?
Lord Barrius: Exactly right. Meaning that if we gather the bits and pieces of his essence back together and force them to reform quickly enough....
«You»: We give your Mother a target for her anger, and she doesn't take it out on the rest of Lore.
ElBhe: It could work. Mother's been asleep for so long that it'll take her time to awaken fully.
«You»: How can we track his essence down? And how can we get to all of the locations across Lore where his essence may be hiding?
ElBhe: I can help you with that. I can track down shadows, even pieces of them, pretty easily. Then it would only be a few quick shadowsteps to get there.
Lord Barrius: In the meantime, I'll try to keep Mother's rage under control. But you have to hurry, «You».
«You»: Where to first, ElBhe?
ElBhe: I think I can feel one underwater, near the Maelstrom. Hope you can hold your breath a while.
«The scene fades to black. Over at the Maelstrom...»4 BATTLES
Full Heal after battles #2 and #4 «Shadow essence gathers to form Ultimon's head.»
ElBhe: There's one. Defeat it in battle and I can send it back to my owner so we can start reforming him!1 BATTLE: Ultimon's Essence
Full Heal «The essence disperses.»
ElBhe: I've sent it back. I can already feel another one in the Western Expanse, so we'd better get moving.
«While in search for Ultimon's Essence in the Western Expanse, you get intercepted by more enemies.»4 BATTLES
Full Heal after battles #2 and #4 «You find another part of Ultimon's Essence.»
ElBhe: There we go. Another one located. Take care of him!1 BATTLE: Ultimon's Essence
Full Heal «The shadow essence disperses.»
ElBhe: I can feel one more, and this one's in Darkovia. Hope you're not scared.
«You»: Not a bit. Let's go, ElBhe.
«Darkovia's minions are not treating you well either in your search for Ultimon's Essence.»4 BATTLES
Full Heal after battles #2 and #4 «You find Ultimon's Essence in a clearing within Darkovia.»
ElBhe: Last one, «You». Let's finish up, and hurry!1 BATTLE: Ultimon's Essence
Full Heal «The last of Ultimon's essence disperses.»
ElBhe: That seems to be all of them.
«You»: Take me back to his fortress, then. And quick!
«Back in The Veil, the shadow essences of Ultimon merge together, and Ultimon reforms.»
Ultimon: No... no! You fools! How did you know about... you've ruined everything! I can't allow this!
ElBhe: Hrm, I think we missed some pieces. He seems somewhat weaker than he was before.
Ultimon: What do you expect? I tore myself apart and scattered most of my magical essence across Lore in order to conceal myself.
Ultimon: It was a gamble, but one that was going to work. Mother couldn't find me, and she would have taken her rage out on you!
Ultimon: But it seems you've foiled my very last plan, «You». So what happens now?
«You»: You go home to your Mother, Ultimon.
«You have two options:»
And here's a beating for the road! (Challenge Battle)Ultimon: Oh, so just because I'm not at full strength, you think you can beat me now? Fine then, let this be our last battle!
1 BATTLE: Ultimon
Full Heal
«If you beat Ultimon:»
Ultimon: I can't believe it...! I underestimated you, «You».
Ultimon: I imagine your shadow must be truly monstrous in strength, for you to be strong enough to best me.
Ultimon: I wonder what will happen if it should ever escape the shadow universe...? Perhaps if I escape, I'll go find out.
«If you lose to Ultimon:»
Ultimon: As I thought, your muscle couldn't back up your mouth. Even in this state, I am still more powerful than you.
Ultimon: Still, I am impressed. Your shadow must be quite powerful indeed.
Ultimon: I wonder what will happen if it should ever escape the shadow universe...? Perhaps if I escape, I'll go find out.
Goodbye!Ultimon: Not going to try and force me to leave yourself? Content to let Mother drag me away in chains? I expected better of you. «Shadow tendrils wrap around Ultimon and lift him off his feet.»
Ultimon: No! Mother, please!
Lord Barrius: You made a mistake in angering her. Mother is not the forgiving type.
Lord Barrius: But at least you got the attention you were craving. Even if it's not the sort of attention you may want.
«Mother takes Ultimon along with her and disappears from the scene.»
«You»: It's sort of hard to imagine that someone so powerful can be so terrified of anything.
Lord Barrius: No matter how powerful a shadow becomes, there are always a few things that they fear. One of them is their Mother.
Lord Barrius: Fortunately, we likely won't have to worry about him again. Mother rarely lets go of those she imprisons.
ElBhe: Let's not stick around. Even if it's just a symbol of his influence, this castle still kinda creeps me out.
«The scene fades to black. Near Ultimon's fortress, a shadow vortex opens and swirls...»
???: It seems my dear Mother couldn't keep her attention focused on me while she was occupied with finding that other shadow.
???: I suppose I owe him my thanks for that. It certainly isn't easy to escape from such confinements alone, after all. But now that I'm out....
«A very, very familiar purplish limb sticks out from the portal.»
???: ....I suppose that I owe a few people a visit.
«The scene fades to black...»
