The following is the script of dialogue used in Triton's hero quest Doing It My Way.
Triton's Quadruple Challenge! has two slightly different versions, depending on whether "Men of the Sea: Booty Calls" ends up with a win for the party (cutscene A) or in a draw (cutscene B). Lanz taunts Triton differently depending on the results.

The Strutting Ferronis[edit]
As the party arrives on Ishan Isle, the ground shakes. A Ferronis appears, walking in the sea and passing near the isle.
Mio
A Ferronis?!
What's it doing here...?
What's it doing here...?
Taion
Doesn't look like it's after us, somehow.
Lanz
Wanna follow?
Taion
Even better, let's make a big sign saying, "We're idiots, please shoot us".
Lanz
You what?!
Eunie
Give it a rest, Lanz. So, what's the plan. Noah?
Noah
Right.
Since it's a Ferronis, it'll doubtless have a bunch of people enslaved to a Flame Clock.
Since it's a Ferronis, it'll doubtless have a bunch of people enslaved to a Flame Clock.
Mio
They might not be too happy to see us, though.
Taion
We'd be lucky if that was all.
Consuls...or rather, Moebius, could be there too.
Consuls...or rather, Moebius, could be there too.
Noah
True. Which is why, whether we follow them or not, we need to think carefully.
Follow the Ferronis to Hargan Point[edit]
Mio
Look! There...
Eunie
Is that... Didn't we see that Ferronis before, at Ishan Isle?
Lanz
So then, that means Moebius might be over there?
Noah
They could attack us at any time. Let's proceed with caution.
Triton[edit]
Triton
Hah! Visitors, eh?
At the sound of the unknown voice, Lanz turns around and finds himself face to face with a Consul. He blinks twice then jumps back, startled. The Consul is revealed and is carrying a dead Gyaark over his shoulder.
Lanz
A sparkin'...
Taion
Moebius!
They all summon their Blade and take a defensive stance. The Consul raises a hand, curling it into a fist. Noah clenches his teeth, readying himself for battle.
The music abruptly stops as the Consul uses his raised hand to hold his chin, studying the party.

Triton
Hoho, what an impulsive pair ye two make!
Anyway, cool your heads and have some grub with me!
Anyway, cool your heads and have some grub with me!
The party looks at him in silence, stunned.
Eunie
Wha- Grub?!
♫
Everyday Life (begins at 1:22 through the track)
Triton
Ya need food if ya want energy!
Don't go tellin' me ye don't eat, now.
Don't go tellin' me ye don't eat, now.
Lanz sheathes his Blade.
Lanz
Yeah, get real! What's his deal?
As he talks, Lanz turns toward the rest of the party. He walks toward them, deciding Triton isn’t worth it.
Triton
But yer all skin and bones, the lot of you!
Right, laddie?
Right, laddie?
Triton gives a friendly punch to Lanz, who stumbles and almost falls flat on the ground.
Lanz
All right, steady on! Anyhow, I'm not even hungry-
As he turns on his heels, he ends up face to face with Triton again, and jumps back for the second time.
Triton
I'm not gonna bite yer heads off, pipsqueaks.
Triton walks through the group, who watches him pass, still stunned.
Triton
Don't just stand there.
Mio sheathes her Blade and walks up to Noah.
Mio
Um. What do we do?
Noah
I-I guess...we can't just ignore him.
They all follow Triton to Colony 15.
Seated with a Consul[edit]
Triton
Ahh, I do love the sea. So I'm taking this thing on a trip.
Taion
Moebius? On a trip?
Triton
O' course! A man's life is a long journey. Walk your path without a destination and you'll get little encounters, like this one.
Lanz
Yeah, uh, if you think we're gonna trust a Moebius, you're off your rocker, man!
Triton
Hoho! Sounds like yer in an awful pickle and no mistake! What a disaster for ye!
But ye see... Moebius I may be, but I don't got any orders regardin' ye.
I'm a free agent, says I.
Anyway, there are things on the sea so tasty they'll make ye weep! Along with some gigantic monsters.
So I arranged for them to be here. Things you landlubbers would never dream of!

Lanz
You mean you're mixing the colony up in all this, just so you can have a bit of fun?
Triton
Guess you're right.
I just love watchin' the sea from a Ferronis, truth be told.
Therefore, free agent that I be, I work as Colony 15's Consul, with a spot of moonlightin' as the commander.
The other Moebius tell me rubbish like "your name is T". Perhaps it's fate I met up with you lot.
So, if you please, you can call me Cap'n Triton!

Lanz
Um... Somebody... Tell me what's happening?
Noah
Captain Triton. I get what you're saying, I do. But...
Eunie
Noah, you ain't humoring this windbag?
Api
Indeed! Can't listen to any words from this man's mouth!
His crazy, reckless schemes will get friends dead! Smashed to pieces!
His crazy, reckless schemes will get friends dead! Smashed to pieces!
Triton
And what! Once I get an idea, I have to put it in motion, otherwise nothin' around here would happen!
Kio
The Cap'n's awesome! He might be an ugly lump, but he can smash a big monster clear into next year!
Triton
Well, I like a good challenge, so we spend a chunk o' time goin' around, and... Wait. Who're you callin' ugly?
Kio
Whether they're in the sea or the sky, we find big nasties and biff 'em up good!
Mio
Riiight. Gotcha.
Triton
...You definitely called me ugly.
Lanz
Look, Mio. We're better off keeping away from this lot. You can't be best pals with a Moebius!
Triton
Come now, young pup! You've only just arrived. Fancy a little contest?
Sena
A...contest...?
Triton
The wind brings me a couple of rumors, such as all of ye bein' pretty capable!
Seein' fellow warriors always gets me fired up! So, it be contest time!
Seein' fellow warriors always gets me fired up! So, it be contest time!
Lanz
What are you on about? No way I'm doing that.
Triton
Scared, eh?
Lanz
Eh?!
Triton
Aye, you're lily-livered! Guess Ouroboros just run away with their tails between their legs. That right? Hah!
Li-ly liv-ered!
Li-ly liv-ered!
Lanz
Who're you calling lily-livered?!
Taion
Just leave it, Lanz. You're wasting your time bothering with someone like him.
Triton
Must be nice for you, leavin' one foot out the door so the sparks won't fall on you when there's trouble!
You're frightened of gettin' knocked down, so you're makin' out like you're warnin' him?
You tryin' to save face or summat? Be you so scared of Moebius?
That's lily-livered, or my name's not Cap'n Triton!

Taion
I'll give you lily-livered!
Triton
It's settled then! Been lookin' for someone hot-blooded!
Api, make the preparations!
Api, make the preparations!
They move to an open area.
Triton
Men of the Sea: Triton's Triple Challenge!!!
Api
By power vested in Api, Api will now explain rules of contest.
Mio
Huh? You mean we're actually going through with this?
Noah
Uh...
Api
Rules are simple!
In vicinity of Colony 15 there three islands! Each island have specific challenge.
Team that solves challenge fastest wins points!
In vicinity of Colony 15 there three islands! Each island have specific challenge.
Team that solves challenge fastest wins points!
Taion
Hmph. If that's all we need to do, this'll be incredibly simple.
Lanz
I totally thought this was gonna be a big punch-up.
Triton
Gah, where's your sense of romance?! Ain't no contest in a straight-up fistfight!
Api
For friends' informations, Colony 15 soldiers wait on each island to observe contest.
Contest teams are: all of friends' team, versus the Captain and three others.
Contest teams are: all of friends' team, versus the Captain and three others.
Lanz
Eh? So we have a bigger team? Doesn't seem fair.
Triton
Ye be guests, you see. I'll accept a handicap, by way of hospitality.
Lanz
Oi, are you having a laugh?
Taion
Ignore it, he's just provoking you.
Triton
A man doesn't go back on his word. Now then all of you, get to it!
Api
Friends prepared? First challenge is at Ishan Isle. Talk to Ronja to find out more!
Let contest begin!
Let contest begin!
Talk with Api again:
Api
Please don't lose to Captain, friends! Api will never hear end of it!
Talk with Ronja[edit]
Ronja
There you are, landlubbers!
The challenge for this island is simple. You get to show us your brawn!
The challenge for this island is simple. You get to show us your brawn!
Noah
Uh, brawn...?
Ronja
Welcome to "Men of the Sea: The Brawny Deep"!
There are some beasties in this area known as Gyaarks. You have to bring down four of them.
It goes without saying that the first to do so wins the challenge! What are you standing around for? Get to it!

Lanz
Get it in gear, Noah! We'll show that mudder who's boss!
Noah
Yep. Sure thing...
Talk with Ronja again:
Ronja
What's up? Did you forget your task? Go hunt four Gyaarks.
Talk with Api:
Api
Friends must defeat four Gyaarks! Wishing you smooth sailings!
Report to Ronja[edit]
Lanz
Aaand we're done! Did we win?!
Ronja
I saw it all! Maybe you aren't such landlubbers!
Triton and his team arrive running.
Triton
(huff puff, huff puff)
Ronja
You're late, Cap'n! I'm afraid that means you lose!
Lanz
Looks like you're all mouth and no trousers, eh "Cap'n"?
Triton
Grrrr...
Lanz
Look at you, you're knackered! Who's taking the handicap now? Eh?
Triton
I must've ate a bad shrimp or summat, that be all! Now on to the next one!
And don't ye even think about backin' out now! Set a course for Daedal Isle!
And don't ye even think about backin' out now! Set a course for Daedal Isle!
Eunie
Who's backing out? We're the ones kicking his arse...
Talk with Ronja again:
Ronja
Next up is Daedal Isle. Talk to Lhukavu when you get there.
Talk with Lhukavu[edit]
Lhukavu
Ahoy! Welcome to the next challenge, "Men of the Sea: Booty Calls"! Bring me high-quality booty, and I'll judge it!
Noah
...Booty?
Lhukavu
Exactly! I need the most valuable booty on this island!
Sena
You keep using that word...
Mio
Yeah, we don't know what you mean, or what's on this island...
Taion
Surely you could send us after something a little more concrete!
Lhukavu
Booty is booty. If you can't tell good booty when you see it, then we're done here.
Lanz
All right, fine! We'll do it!
Mio
Let's have a think then. Group talk?
Noah
Yeah, group talk.
Talk with Lhukavu again:
Lhukavu
I'm looking for the best booty you can find!
Talk with Api again:
Api
Friends must find booty!
Booty?[edit]
- Main article: Booty?
Bring the booty to Lhukavu[edit]
Lanz
We're back with the booty!
Lhukavu
Whoa, that was fast, but then what did I expect?
Right, let's not waste time! Show me what you brought.
Right, let's not waste time! Show me what you brought.
Eunie
We found these three things, but-
Lhukavu
Now wait a second!
Eunie
Mate, rude.
Lhukavu
What I asked you for was booty of the highest value!
Whichever way you slice it, there's only one most valuable booty, not two, and certainly not three!
So, please pick one of them and pass it to me.
Whichever way you slice it, there's only one most valuable booty, not two, and certainly not three!
So, please pick one of them and pass it to me.
Lanz
Awkward... What do we do?
Which booty will you pick?
Millennial Tree Amber
Lanz
This is what we've picked. Get a load of that!
Lhukavu
Oho, interesting!
Triton
Yarrr, they be here first!
Lanz
All right, beef. Taking it easy are we?
Triton
Unlike some people, I have a more discerning eye and take my time with things.
Anyway, what've ye got there? A rock, is it?
Hahaha! Ye reckon ye'll beat me plonkin' down a little old rock?
Anyway, what've ye got there? A rock, is it?
Hahaha! Ye reckon ye'll beat me plonkin' down a little old rock?
Lanz
Say that again!
Triton
This is what I brought. Any fool can see it's bigger.
Lanz
Wha... That is pretty big!
Lhukavu
Oh! Good choice, Cap'n! This local fruit is said to be jaw-droppingly delicious!
Manana
Totally true! Manana could have told you that!
Triton
Hmph. That'll be a win for me then.
Lhukavu
Our guests are the winners, Cap'n.
Triton
What?!
Lhukavu
I did ask for the most valuable booty!
What our guests have brought sells for ten times more than that coconut!
And while the coconut is certainly delicious, its value is only...so-so.
What our guests have brought sells for ten times more than that coconut!
And while the coconut is certainly delicious, its value is only...so-so.
Triton
Maybe the value is only so-so, but have you seen it? Look at the size! And it tastes fantastic!
Bigger be better than smaller, says I! It's worth more in size, therefore I win!
Bigger be better than smaller, says I! It's worth more in size, therefore I win!
Manana
Friend right! Taste alone make it bestest treasure!
Lanz
Hey, whose side are you on, shortcake?!
Manana
Manana will not make fibs. Tell Manana what more important than deliciousness!
Triton
Ye can't say fairer than that. I win.
Lanz
No, you did *not* win. Just man up and accept you lost!
Lhukavu
Cap'n... Accepting defeat is part of being a man of the sea.
Triton
Ghh... Ye've really got me over a barrel here... Well played.
But the next one's gonna be mine, ye'll see!
Come to Cape Arcaphor! I'll give you a damn good thrashin'!
But the next one's gonna be mine, ye'll see!
Come to Cape Arcaphor! I'll give you a damn good thrashin'!
Noah
Augh...
Mio
That man is a few screws short of a Levnis...
Yum-Yum Coconut
Lanz
We're gonna pick-
Triton
Hold it there, me hearties!
Lhukavu
Ah, Cap'n! You're a little late.
Triton
Booty you asked for, and booty you shall receive!
Lanz
Hey, hey, we were first! Get in line.
Lhukavu
Settle down, settle down! We're not concerned with who came first in this one. You can both go at the same time.
Triton
Fine by me!
Lanz
Bring it on! This is our-
Triton
Booty!
Lanz
Wha...
Lhukavu
Oho! Can't believe you both brought the same thing!
Manana
Believe it!
This Yum-Yum Coconut blast off tastebuds and most of face with its deliciousness! Is greatest treasure!
This Yum-Yum Coconut blast off tastebuds and most of face with its deliciousness! Is greatest treasure!
Triton
See, this girl knows what she's talkin' about! It's tasty, it's huge...
Lanz
So...both sides brought the same thing? What happens now?
Lhukavu
Looks like we have a draw. I can't give either of you the point if you bring the same thing.
Triton
You best be lookin' carefully now, Lhukavu!
Surely you can see mine be way bigger than his?!
Surely you can see mine be way bigger than his?!
Lhukavu
A coconut is a coconut. I'm not going to play favorites just 'cause you're the cap'n, Cap'n.
Triton
Ah, just stow it. Fine. On to the next one!
We'll settle things on Cape Arcaphor, mark my words!
We'll settle things on Cape Arcaphor, mark my words!
Noah
I'm not sure I can keep up with that energy of his.
Mio
It is a bit much...
Ancient Taos Fossil
Same as the Millennial Tree Amber.
Talk with Lhukavu again:
Lhukavu
Your next goal is at Cape Arcaphor!
Talk with Kio[edit]
Kio
Ahoy chums! I've been waiting!
You haven't sighted Saoru, have you?
You haven't sighted Saoru, have you?
Noah
Saoru? No, I don't think so, sorry.
Kio
Curses... I knew he'd be up to his usual tricks!
That Saoru... He couldn't find his way if you nailed a map to his bum!
That Saoru... He couldn't find his way if you nailed a map to his bum!
Lanz
That good with directions, is he?
Kio
He's probably got himself ate up by some monster! Hahahaha!
Mio
And that's...funny?
Kio
Saoru was gonna do this next part, but I can't help it if he's done a disappearing act, can I? So it's up to me to explain the next challenge!
The first group to track a certain monster and bring it down is the winner!
The first group to track a certain monster and bring it down is the winner!
Taion
That all sounds quite simple.
Sena
Yep. Find some big footprints, follow 'em.
Kio
Well, best of luck to you!
Noah
OK then. Let's head out.
Talk with Kio again:
Kio
Follow the tracks, find the monster, then take it down!
Talk with Api:
Api
One who find monster and beat it up first will win!
Investigate the footprints[edit]
Noah
We've got footprints. Two sets of them...
Taion
Hmm. And it looks like they're going in different directions.
Sena
Which way do we go?
Noah
Good question.
Find Saoru[edit]
Following the footprints to the right leads to Saoru.
Saoru
Hm? Ahoy, guests. What's up?
Lanz
What's up? We wanna know what you're doing here, that's what's up.
Saoru
That's not good, friends. You're supposed to be taking down that monster! Oh. Did I explain that to you already?
Eunie
No, you'd scuttled off somewhere, so we had to get the deets from someone else!
Saoru
Well, that's not good then, is it! If you waste time here you're gonna lose!
Eunie
We followed the tracks here, you numpty!
Sena
Ah! We got more tracks here!
Lanz
Oh my- We'd better follow these, then.
Saoru
Good luck, friends! You'd best not hang about, or the Captain'll sail ahead!
Talk with Saoru again:
Saoru
Come on, guests! If you don't track that monster and defeat it, the Captain's gonna leave you in the dust!
Defeat the Arcaphor Gogol[edit]
Lanz
Yusss, now that's what I'm talkin' about!
Noah
Now that was a bone-cruncher, eh?
Lanz
Where are the others? No sign. Right, let's leg it back to the Ferronis!
Taion
Yeah. That buffoon's going to regret making fools of us!
Triton's Quadruple Challenge! (A)[edit]
Plays if the party won "Men of the Sea: Booty Calls" by bringing a precious amber or fossil.
Lanz
The big lug still isn't here?!
Api
No. Friends have come back before arrival of Captain.
Have to say, Captain is not most punctual...
Have to say, Captain is not most punctual...
Triton
Augh! Don't tell me we're pipped to the post again!
Api
Captain. Captain is late. Is never good thing to make guests wait.
Lanz
Pssh, it was a piece of cake! Maybe we shoulda given you a handicap?
Api
Winners of contest are honored guests-
Triton

Eunie

The last challenge be a good old punch-up. The winner gets, uh...

Good. Now, put 'em up!
Good. Now, put 'em up!
Lanz
Oh, this is takin' the piss! It's called the "triple" challenge!
Taion
Yes, we agree for once!
What happened to "a man doesn't go back on his word"?

Triton
Heh.
The music stops.
Triton
You be right, he doesn't.
But a man always wants more!

Behind Triton, Pergas and Torto look fed up with Triton and accept their fate.
Lanz
Ugh, this clod! What crud is he spouting now?!
Taion
It's the same stuff he's been spouting from the start.
Triton prepares to pounce at Lanz.
Noah
(gasp) Lanz!
Lanz
Huh?
Triton
Ye better pay attention!
Man of the Sea's Sucker Punch!
Man of the Sea's Sucker Punch!
Triton punches Lanz and knocks him down.
Sena
Lanz! You OK?!
Eunie
What a bloody underhanded way to start a fight! Arsehole...
Triton
Carelessness on the sea gets you killed.
A man's gotta pay attention every second of every minute!

Friends, watch out or get sucked into Captain-tornado!

Challenge Won![edit]
Triton falls down, defeated. The party is on their knees, catching their breaths.
Lanz
So it's settled, right? We totally won this bloody thing...
Eunie
Man, what a real mudder of a Moebius...
Ugh, my aches have aches...
Ugh, my aches have aches...
Triton
Hurgh... Haha.
Ye've bested me.
Ye ain't half strong!
Ye've bested me.
Ye ain't half strong!
Noah
It wasn't exactly one-on-one.
Triton
To be sure! I'd have beaten any one of ye in a fair fight!
But...I feel no ill will.
Been a while since anyone knocked me down.
But...I feel no ill will.
Been a while since anyone knocked me down.
Lanz
Well, *I'm* feelin' all *kinds* of ill. He snuffin' sucker punched me!
Taion
I have a question. If you're a Moebius, you could have transformed at any time, right?
So, why didn't you do it?
So, why didn't you do it?
Triton
Ah, young 'un. Only thing I trust are these old bones and my own two fists.
In a brawl, anythin' else kind of taints things.
Besides, usin' anything else be no fun at all!
In a brawl, anythin' else kind of taints things.
Besides, usin' anything else be no fun at all!
Lanz
I feel that... I think.
Triton stands back up.
Triton
Ah, truth be told, I've been alive so long,
I've clean forgot how to transform!
Hah hah ha!
I've clean forgot how to transform!
Hah hah ha!
Taion
Oh for spark's... Don't know why I asked.
Triton
By the by...
Wonder if I could ask ye a favor.
Wonder if I could ask ye a favor.
Lanz
Come on! Think it's a bit early in our relationship for that!
Triton
If I let this get away from me now I might not remember again.
I gave up thinkin' ahead long, long ago, see?
I gave up thinkin' ahead long, long ago, see?
Mio
Well then...what is it that you need?
Triton
Ha, well! I want you to smash that big ol' shiny thing.
Sena
That's your Flame Clock...?
Lanz
Mate, do you even have a clue what you're saying right now?
Triton
I've been waiting for this moment.
For that thing to disappear, see?
For that thing to disappear, see?
Noah
Are you really sure?
Triton
Yeah. Tear it down, says I.
Triton removes his helmet.
Triton
While I'm around to watch it happen!
Noah
Here we go!
Noah and Mio destroy the Flame Clock.
Flame Clock destroyed[edit]
Triton
Finally, you're free, friends...
Lanz
Huh...
Mio
I know it's a bit late to ask this, but... Are you sure this is OK?
Triton
Now you boys and girls might not be understandin' this...
I've been a Moebius for a long time. Seen and learned a lot about death.
The thing with death is, it doesn't care about your feelings... It just comes when it wills.
I've seen people who lived short but full lives, people who cling to every last bit of life, people who're only too happy to die...
I've encountered so many people, I've lost count. But, good or bad, they die, while I carry on.

Sena
But...but of course that's going to happen, with the way the world is...
Triton
If I'm gonna accept things just because that's how they are, then maybe I've been livin' too long.
Watchin' the way they lived, I ended up thinkin'... Wonderin', what fun these people could get up to if they were free...
Somethin' fun, maybe somethin' stupid.

Taion
Fun?
Triton
Sure.
I think about Dougie, best strongman I ever saw. Or Serena, nobody loved the sea like her. Gould had no equal in battle.
I knew all sorts of spirited folk, but no matter who they were, the Flame Clock would end up bein' their reason for livin'.
I wanted to do somethin'... But not even these boat hooks could put a dent in that blasted thing.

Lanz
You mean you tried to do it as a Moebius?
Triton
Aye. But nothin' came of it.
That's when it really hit home that I was a Moebius...
I couldn't destroy the Flame Clock... and after a while I just gave up. Isn't that ironic?

Eunie
Man. And here I thought you were just some giant without a thought in his head. Turns out there's a bit more to you.
Triton
Hahaha-hah! It be true, gettin' the old noggin going is not a skill I possess.
But round about the time I gave up thinkin' about anythin', I started hearin' about you lot.

Noah
About us?
Triton
Yep. Some idiots goin' around beatin' up Moebius, smashin' up Flame Clocks, things of that ilk.
Need I explain any more? I knew you were the ones who could release my friends, trapped by that infernal clock.

Sena
Well, we did do that...
Taion
Indeed, I suppose you could say that us destroying the Flame Clock set your friends free.
But that doesn't mean that your friends would have got the same lease on life as Moebius.

Triton
You don't half come out with some tripe, four-eyes.
Taion
Four-ey-?! My name is Taion.
Triton
I be talkin' about in here.
Sena
The...heart? You mean like feelings?
Triton
That's right, girl.
It doesn't change anybody's lifespan, but in that moment, it's the bonds between us all that changed.

Lanz
But you're a Consul. You're telling me something's changed between you and your underlings?
Triton
I think you know the answer, boy.
We be equal now, not tied to each other by time, or who be above and who be below.

Lanz
Equal...
Triton
Aye! Me and ye are equals. We've had a good brawl, and now there's no grudges.
Noah
So...what will you do now?
Triton
Good question.
I reckon I'll find the next big beastie and beat the snot out of it! Hahahah! Hope you got room, kiddies!

Lanz
Uh?
Triton
Didn't really think I'd be fightin' Moebius... Ah, but I'm a big boy. It'll be fine!
Mio
You mean...?
Eunie
You're joining us?
Triton
Yep. I bet you feel all kinds of reassured!
Eunie
Uh, I mean... You are pretty tough...
Lanz
Wait wait wait... Did you forget we're Ouroboros?
Taion
And he's Moebius! You're gonna go against your own kind?
Triton
Too right! You could live a thousand years and not get the chance to team up with Ouroboros and take a pop at Moebius!
I may like an odd scrap with some tough 'uns, but goin' on some idiot adventure with 'em sounds fun, too!

Uh...
During chapter 5:
Mio
What d'you think?
Up from chapter 6:
Mio
What do you think, Noah?
Noah
...He doesn't seem the type to have any ulterior motives.
Triton
There's one.
I've a debt to pay ye, and I decided I'll pay it now.
Otherwise, ye softies'll get knocked down by the next breeze that comes along!

Taion
And not because you're planning on punching us when our backs are turned?
Triton
Nope. When I have a problem with somebody I be the sort to tackle it head-on.
Lanz
I mean... No, you definitely punched me when I wasn't looking.
Triton
Avast with your pesky details! Come on, this is a good deal!
Lanz
...All right. You convinced me.
Sena
You sure?
Lanz
You can't say you hate him after listening to all that!
Noah
That's true. OK, you're on the team, Triton.
Triton
Glad that didn't take long! I like a good snappy decision, so I do!
Lanz
But! If you put one foot wrong, we're kicking you out faster than you can say Ouroboros!
Triton
Hahah! I shan't, cross my heart!
Just you watch, boy! I got me own special power I can help you out with!

Lanz
Oh yeah? I'll keep my expectations low.
The scene cuts to the other Colony 15 soldiers in front of the broken Flame Clock.
Api
Meh-meh?! What happen to Flame Clock?!
Back to Triton and the party.
Triton
Oops. Guess I'd better relay the tale to my men.
Oh! One last thing.
Oh! One last thing.
Lanz
Huh? What is it now?
Triton
I got feelings deep as the sea, which I like to pound into some tough enemies.
I want to fight forever. But when I became a Moebius, that's when I realized that one human life would always've felt too short.
I've lived my life in fear, worried that it was too short.
But now a quick scuffle with ye all has helped clear things up for me. I really felt alive!

Lanz
Err...
Triton
I be grateful. Thanks to ye, I can chart a new course.
Lanz
Tch, get outta here with all that, man.
Triton
Ha! You got it!
