The fifth chapter of Future Redeemed concludes a saga that began thanks to a press of a button.
This page is divided into sections based on the Event Theater. Scenes not in the Event Theater (such as story quests, unvoiced dialogue, or field dialogue) are shown as italic headers and given unofficial titles.
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the entire plot of not only Xenoblade Chronicles 3, but also Xenoblade Chronicles, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and their respective extra stories.

The Ark[edit]
The camera pans across a suburban neighbourhood whilst a radio plays in the background. Na'el, looking content, is overlooking the city below. A tall tower protrudes amongst all the buildings.
The blinding lights fade, as the party stand confused. They all appear to be in a suburban neighbourhood.

Matthew
Where's this...?!
Klaus's World[edit]
The party follow a pathway toward an opening and arrive at a balcony overlooking a great city.

Pretty...
I've never seen anything like this.

Wow. Those towers...
It's like they're all...sparkling...
It's like they're all...sparkling...
This city spans far beyond the view given. Focus is drawn to the tall tower shown before; it reaches far past the clouds above.
Panacea
And that enormous one...
Linka
It's so huge... Bigger than a castle.
Shulk grunts, realising where they are
Rex
(can tell what Shulk is thinking)
(can tell what Shulk is thinking)
Shulk. This what I think it is?
The camera zooms outward. This is what everything once was.
Rex
Before the fall...
Matthew turns back to Shulk and Rex, wondering what this means.
Matthew
What was that about the world?
Shulk
Before mine and Rex's worlds came to be, everything was one.
And this is that place.
And this is that place.
Matthew
(trying to piece it all together)
(trying to piece it all together)
Erm...
What you said at the base. About the two worlds, before they came together...
This was even further back than those ones?

Rex
The lad's got brawn and brains.
I'm impressed.
I'm impressed.
Matthew
So what, we've traveled back into the past then?
Shulk
(deciphering with all the facts)
(deciphering with all the facts)
No, not really.
This is Origin's memory stage.
We were directly underneath it.

Rex
Yeah...
I think we're probably...inside of it now.

Glimmer
Meaning...we're inside someone's memories...?

(gifting the final piece of the puzzle)
Of all the people who could remember this era, only one's left.
Rex
Alpha, eh...?
But what's the point of him showing us all this...?
Is it really Alpha that's doing this?
Or is it...

Rex gets cut off by a melody. It catches everyone's attention, as they all turn towards where it's coming from.
Matthew
Piano...?!
Matthew
(realising)
(realising)
This melody...!
A flashback plays of Na'el at the piano playing.
This could be Na'el. Matthew sprints away from the group. He could finally get to his sister.
Na'el's Dream[edit]
Matthew arrives at an open backyard with a piano situated in the middle, being played by Na'el.
Matthew
Na'el...!
Na'el is in her own world, blissfully playing, until she realises.
Na'el
Huh?
Matthew!
Welcome!
I was waiting for you.
Matthew!
Welcome!
I was waiting for you.
The radio carries on its broadcast
Matthew
Na'el,
how come you're-
how come you're-
Na'el
It's such a wonderful place, isn't it?
I've always dreamed of this.
A place we could live together. A place to call home.
And not just for you and me, but for everyone we know.
Every who?
Uh?... When did they...?

Child A
Hey Miss!
I'm hungryyy!
I'm hungryyy!
Child B
Can we have a snack?
Na'el
OK!
All right, wash your hands first and then make a line.
Because today...I've made something extra special.

Children (In Unison)
Hurray!
Na'el
There's plenty to go around.
Just let me know if you want seconds.
See? Isn't this great?
There's no room for woes or worries here.
Nothing to ruin our happiness.
Out there...there's a world like this waiting.
A place for new lives to live as they please.
Just like this.

Matthew
Na'el...
You can't-
You can't-
Na'el
It was promised to me.
By him.
"Him"...?
The person with the silver hair and kind eyes.
He gave us this beautiful world.
He said if we simply cast away the old lives...
we can set out, unburdened, and all this can be ours.
You see?

You see?
Na'el
We don't need any of this...old life...
A
...Certainly, it's beautiful.
If it could truly stay this way...
Na'el.
Don't you know what came after? Have you ever seen it?
Weren't you ever...curious?
I think you suspect already.
How it changed. What became of this world.
And...how people have always been...
Ambition leads to pride.
Even when they'd been granted limitless freedom, even having built the perfect world for themselves,
humans yet desired the "beyond".
And then, the world became the way it is now.

Na'el
Lies...
This is all lies!
Don't think your ludicrous stories are going to change my mind!
Alpha, he made me an inviolable promise.
He said this is what awaits us at the end of our road.
He said we could make a world like this...!

Oh come off it!
Really? You think that?
Really? You think that?
Na'el
Of course I do!
Everything that we were denied is right here for us!

Matthew
It's obviously a scam!
Wherever you go, it's the same.
You leave *them*, it only ends one way.

Na'el
Oh, so we should just let them keep killing each other!
Killing to live?! What a load of crap!
Good riddance to anything those *butchers* want to save!

Good riddance to anything those *butchers* want to save!
Matthew
They're not "things".
They're lives!
And yeah, I can't forgive Moebius either.
Reaping lives like grain during harvest...
But come on... What crimes have their victims ever committed?
What did they do?!
They weren't given a single choice.
They were just trying to make the most of each moment, like us!
They're lives!

Na'el
Everyone you know died for that!
Are you OK with that, Matthew?!
Are you OK with that, Matthew?!
Matthew
Course I'm bloody not!
Truth is...
What you're talking of doing would make you exactly the same as Moebius.
...Exactly the same.
If you build a new world on that foundation, it'll only end one way.
Like this!
This here?! And this is the future you want?!
You see, Na'el?
The lives that you and I have... You know that's a possible future for all the soldiers, right?
If it weren't for those guys, we wouldn't even be here.
Don't lose sight of the real enemy. You know who it is.
Moebius, or Alpha...
It doesn't matter what you call 'em.
The real enemy's whoever threatens our lives...
Whoever tries to rob us of our hopes and dreams.
Let's build a future, Na'el.
The one our elders wanted...
With our own hands...!
C'mon. What do you say?

Ahah... There is no place for it in the Trinity Processor.

Cause Klaus... He entrusted the future to us.
So he could atone for his past.

And he failed to realize that his *conscience* led him astray.
An atavistic delusion. It is common among the old.
Wholly unnecessary for all subsequent life.

Matthew
I knew it...
Of course that would be your vision of the world.
As long as there's people like you, nothing's ever going to change.
Casting off the old world and its people, and just walking away.

Alpha
You could not comprehend it, Matthew.
Matthew
Turning around, going back...
Looking for a new way forward...
Doing that time and again, that's how you build a future.
...Eh, but you're just an obsolete piece of scrap,
so no wonder you don't get it!

Life is on our side.
And since there's none in you...
You're destined for the scrap heap!

I... I won't...!
Alpha
What harm did your kind do?
You have done nothing wrong.
You simply strode forth towards the future.
But the olden humans... They did not find value in it.
You must have realized?
This is not where you belong.

Why be a stepping stone?
For as long as the old is not excised...
mankind has no future!

I've got a crapload of stuff I wanna say to you.
But right this instant,
I'm glad we're both fighting on the same side.
Am I right?
There you go.

You wanna go so badly, then pick up and go!
This world - it belongs to us!

Regrettable, Matthew.
I'd hoped that we could celebrate the day of departure together.
But very well...
It seems that I must forsake you.
The olden ones, olden life...

Release the Power (Epilogue)[edit]

Rex
It's no more.
So someone else has to pick up the slack.
The annihilation events, they'll keep happening whether you like it or not.
The world needs a bit of propping up.

We can imbue you with our life, keep the wheels turning.
That way, you'll be able to live out the rest of your lives.
Enough time to do what you must.

Then... It's all up to you now.
With us taking the role of the avatar, Z may well seize upon it to gain power.
What we did, and all that concerns Origin, will become but a dim memory...
Nevertheless, our intentions will live on,
and one day coalesce again.
Be it tomorrow... or in a thousand years...
Surely, the time will eventually come.
I can see it, clear as day.
