The Unfamiliar Spear[edit]

The party is walking around near the Royal Guard Barracks toward Fonsa Myma Port.
Praxis
Nia, stop!
Nia turns around.
Nia
What's up?
A spear is thrown right behind Nia, digging into the ground, making her recoil.
Nia
A lance?!
Rex
Enemies?!
Zeke
What direction did it come from?
Praxis
I don't know.
But I think we'll be fine now.
Whoever threw the lance seems to have run off somewhere.
Nia
Why'd they throw a lance at us, though?
Rex
Maybe they were trying to pick you off?
Nia
Why would they wanna off me? Anyone else here would make more sense.
Zeke
They probably just fudged their aim and it ended up heading your way.
Nia
Ugh, this is the worst.
Mòrag
No, if someone wanted us dead, they wouldn't be using such an unreliable method.
Zeke
So can we take that as a warning or something?
Rex
Well, I think it's going to be more like 'back off'.
Mòrag
Hmm... It's hard to tell.
Praxis
Anyway, there's one thing that's clear. Someone has their eye on us.
Just keep on the lookout, OK?
Mòrag
Hold on. There's something attached to it.
Rex
You're right! Let's have a look then.

Attached Note[edit]

Nia
There's a note attached to it.
Zeke
What's it say, Nia?
Nia
Gimme a sec...
Look for Thunder Crystal in the Old Quarry in Uraya...
and then stand by at Gormott's Garagorm's Arch.
Follow these instructions and you are sure to regain your memories.
...Eh?
Zeke
Whose memories...?
Nia
It's probably just some stupid prank.
Mòrag
That, or it's a trap. Of course, I'd much prefer if it were a prank.
Nia
Yeah. In either case, probably best to ignore it.
Praxis
...
...Wait.
Zeke
What's up, Praxis?
Praxis
If they'd intended to hurt us, they'd already be attacking us this very moment, right?
And if that were the case, they wouldn't have missed their mark with the lance either...
Mòrag
...Very true.
Praxis
So I'm just wondering...maybe there's a meaning to all this. They're clearly going to a lot of trouble.
I can't help but wonder what whoever's doing this is trying to achieve...
I think we should follow the instructions. But I'll respect your decision.
Mòrag
There's still the possibility that it's a trap, but there is merit in the experience regardless.
Rex
I'm with you, Praxis. We'll do it.
Everyone OK with that?
Nia
Sure. Can't resist a good puzzle. Let's go!
Praxis
Thank you!

The Spear Flies Again[edit]

The party is waiting around Garagorm's Arch.
Rex
The note said for us to look somewhere around here...
Praxis
Not a single soul in sight...
Zeke
Any chance someone was pulling a fast one on us?
Tora
Someone play tricksies on us?
Nia
I doubt it. 'Cos really, who'd go this far to play tricks on us?
Dromarch
Get back, my lady!
A spear is thrown right in front of Nia and Dromarch, digging into the ground.
Nia
Whuh?!
Dromarch! Are you all right?!
Dromarch
I'm fine. It seems they never intended to actually hit us.
Rex
Again with the lance? I really don't get this.
Praxis looks up.
Praxis
There! I see someone!
Someone is standing on the roof of a building to the side of Garagorm's Arch, who proceeds to flee upon being spotted.
Tora
They running away!
Nia
Let's go after them! Uhh...or not.
Mòrag
Indeed. I don't believe we'd be able to catch up.
But never mind that. Is there something written on this lance too?
Praxis
Lemme check that right now!

Investigate the lance that was thrown[edit]

Nia
Another note...? What now?
Praxis
Now defeat the monsters inhabiting these locations:
The Magno Blant near Sternum Arch in Uraya...
the Bodom Grebel near Underground River Lavi in Spirit Crucible Elpys...
and the Cherys Medooz on the Lud Cloudway of the Leftherian Archipelago.
When you have defeated these monsters, come to Nharil Central Plaza in Mor Ardain.
Follow these instructions and you are sure to regain your memories.
Zeke
First a treasure hunt, now a monster hunt?
Nia
I don't get what they think they'll hope to achieve by us doing this.
I just don't get it...
Rex
Praxis? What's your take on this?
Praxis
I'm just thinking... Maybe these notes are meant for me?
These memories it talks about... Couldn't it have something to do with the memories of my former self?
Zeke
What makes you think that?
Praxis
Hmm... It's just a hunch, really.
But I get the feeling I'm supposed to be the one following these instructions.
Look at the weapons they keep throwing. Lances. I use lances.
Nia
So are you gonna keep going along with this?
Praxis
I think so, yeah. If you think I should stop, though, I'll stop.
I'd just really like to know what's going on in their mind.
Rex
Nah, I'm still with you, Praxis. Let's roll with this hunch you've got.
Zeke
And hey, you might actually get your memories back like it says. No harm in trying.
Nia
I guess we're going then!

Pest Control 3[edit]

Main article: Pest Control 3#Dialogue

The Emotion-Filled Spear[edit]

The party is waiting around Nharil Central Plaza.
Mòrag
As expected, there's no one here either.
Zeke
If last time was anything to go by, somebody's probably having a cheeky peek at us right about now.
Praxis
Hey! I know you can hear me! Stop creeping around like a coward and show yourself!
As if to answer her, a spear is thrown right next to Praxis.
Praxis
Another one of those...?
What are you trying to tell us with all these lances?!
Stop beating around the bush! Come out, and tell us what you want to our faces!
Or are you afraid of me?!
Theory jumps in front of the party.
Nia
Ah! It's that Blade again!
Mòrag
No doubt about it. It's the other Blade from the Core Crystal hunters.
Rex
Her name was Theory, right...?
Praxis
So it WAS you...
You were the one who kept messing with us in the middle of battle, weren't you?
What do you want from us?
If you've got something to say, then say it.
Theory
...
Praxis
The message said the reward would be 'memories', but I just can't figure out what's going on.
We've been playing along with you for long enough. It ends here!
Theory
So it didn't work...
Praxis
What didn't work? Tell me!
Theory
*sigh*
Read the message. It's the last one.
Theory flees.
Praxis
Hey!

Investigate the lance that Theory threw[edit]

Praxis
...?!
Nia
What's it say this time?
Praxis
...
"Praxis, we need to talk."
"Meet me at the Lost Capital Judicium in Temperantia."
Rex
...That's it?
Praxis
That's it.
So that Blade we met wants to talk to me one on one?
Zeke
Seems about the size of it.
Praxis
But why? What do they want from me?
Nia
Since we know who the culprit is now, I've got a pretty good idea...
Zeke
I wonder what's up with her?
Mòrag
It's worrying, to say the least.
Praxis
You...you all know who she is, don't you?
Rex
Uh, well...
Praxis
Tell me! Who is she? What's she got to do with my former self?
Tell Praxis about her past?
Tell her
Don't tell her
Rex
...
Praxis
You know, don't you?
Rex
I think it's for the best if you didn't, Praxis.
If we tell you the truth, you'll-
Praxis
Screw that!
You know the kind of personality I have. I never get depressed. Always bubbly, looking to the future...
Nia
Rex... We should tell her.
Rex
All right.
Praxis
Thank you.
Rex
Her name is Theory.
Praxis
Theory...
Rex
You two used to be a team.
Praxis
A team? Fighting together like we are now?
Rex
That's right. Except, you weren't exactly doing good things.
You called yourselves Core Crystal hunters. You attacked people without remorse and stole their Blades' Cores.
Praxis
What? Me...? I...did awful things like that?
So...we used to be enemies?
Rex
We did.
We had to cooperate with the Ardainian military to stop you. And we fought in battle.
...That's how your Driver died.
Praxis
So I would have returned to my Core Crystal...
Rex
Yeah. Which we picked up.
But Theory and her Driver escaped.
After that, she seemed to vanish off the face of Alrest.
Praxis
I...I can't believe it. I was a criminal...
...
Nia
Praxis... Best not to dwell on the past.
You're our friends now, and that's all that matters.
Praxis
But... Theory probably doesn't think the same does she?
She probably thinks of me as a traitor...
Mòrag
Praxis, relax.
We won't know what she thinks of you unless we hear it from her directly.
But it surely won't be easy for you.
We can go, but only if you think you're up for it.
Praxis
...
I'm shocked, I can't deny that. Finding out that you were a terrible person in a past life...who wouldn't be?
But...there's no reason to get all depressed about it.
In fact, now, I feel like I need to help her. Just like how you all helped me.
I'll go. I'll meet her in person!
Rex
We're behind you, Praxis. We go together, to save Theory!
Mòrag
Are you sure about this, Rex?
Rex
It's better than moping around here, isn't it? And besides, I want to help Theory too.
Praxis, let's do this!
Praxis
Yeah!

Once More, Together[edit]

The party arrives at the Lost Capital Judicium.
Theory
Praxis. So you came.
Praxis
That's me, in the flesh.
I'll admit, I was a little curious about you. Just a little.
Theory
*sigh* I can tell you're not the same...
It was naive to think you'd remember.
Even after I showed you the antique lance you liked...
Even after I took you to places we'd been before...
None of it jogged your memory. It's like you're a blank slate.
Praxis
You seem pretty invested in me getting my memories back, huh.
But why would you go this far?
Theory
I just...wanted for us to be together again. As a team.
I wished for nothing more.
But...
But back in Mor Ardain, I realized that could never be.
This is my last resort!
Waldemar arrives with his lackeys.
Waldemar
Well played, Theory. Looks like you're gonna get your wish after all.
Rex
You?!
Mòrag
The Core Crystal hunter...
Waldemar
Been a while, eh? Glad to see you remembered me.
A lot's happened since.
Praxis's Driver was killed and most of my squad got taken in.
Not a day's gone by that I haven't been thinking about you lot.
Look at my Theory.
Look at what you've done to her. She's nothing more than a coward now.
She's nothing without Praxis. So I'm gonna have to ask you to hand her over.
Nia
Excuse me? Who d'you think you are?
You can't do a thing without your Blades to protect you, can you?
Praxis
If you think I'm siding with some thugs, you've got another thing coming!
Waldemar
Ohh, now that's not very nice, is it? Calling your old pal Theory a thug?
I guess that's how you end up once you belong to a feeble Driver like that.
You saw what's become of her, Theory.
You really want to leave her like that? Like a half-broken toy?
Theory
Of course I don't.
I will kill her Driver. And I will get her back.
Nia
Wait...so you're going to fight Praxis?
Theory
No. I will take out all of you, so that Praxis can be free!
Mòrag
What have you done to her?
Waldemar
Hahahah... I resent the accusatory tone. All I did was tell her the truth.
If she wants Praxis back...
she just has to kill you all, get ahold of Praxis's Core Crystal...
and then...let me reawaken her!
Rex
Cut the crap! Blades aren't your slaves!
It's wrong to exploit them like this!
Waldemar
Shut your trap, kid!
Life ain't a bunch of roses. That's not how the world works!
Besides, you've taken plenty of Blades for yourself, haven't you?
Praxis's proof of that!
Rex
We aren't resonating with them for the same reasons as you!
Waldemar
Get them, Theory! Take 'em all out!
Theory throws ice shards at the party.
Praxis
Stop!
Praxis blocks them.
Theory
Praxis?!
Give it up...
This is the only way for us to be together again!
So please, do as you're told! It won't be long till you're free again!

I'll Never Forget You[edit]

All of Waldemar's lackeys were beaten by the party.
Waldemar
Oi! What are you playing at, Theory?!
Keep focused on the battle!
Praxis
Please, Theory. There's no reason for us to be fighting.
I'm sorry, Theory. I'm sorry that I can't remember who you were.
But if there's one thing that's clear, it's that you were someone very, very special to me.
So let's just stop this. Please.
Waldemar
Gimme a break!
She's deluded! Finish her off, Theory! Don't listen to a word she says!
Get Praxis out of the way and taking out the rest of them'll be plain sailing!
Come on! Kill her!
Theory
N-no...
Waldemar
What?
You defy the words of your Driver? Finish her, Theory!
Theory
No! I can't do it!
Waldemar
Good for nothing-! Then step aside!
Waldemar takes a nearby lance and prepares to attack.
Theory lunges at him and cuts him.
Praxis
Theory?!
Theory
Theory... You little...
So...you betrayed me, eh...
Waldemar collapses, with Theory following suit.
Praxis
Theory!!!
Praxis runs at Theory's side.
Praxis
Why... Why would you do that...?!
Theory
I'm sorry, Praxis... I never meant for all this to happen.
I didn't really...want to fight you...
Praxis
I know, Theory. I knew all along.
Theory
Hey, Praxis... Am I going...to forget you...?
I...I don't want that.
Praxis
It's all right, Theory.
Even if you forget me, I'll always remember what you meant to me.
I swear it!
Theory
That's a...promise... Prax...x...
Theory returns to her core.
Praxis
Theory...
