The end is near

Or it already happened. I dunno.

The Earth whosit is located under Pioneer Town, but Emilina won't let us into her basement. Talk to her twice with that interrogation stuff, and we'll convince her to let us in. But we'll have to do her a favor. She wants the flower that blooms from her Mystery Seed. Head back in time and talk to the old dude near the future train station. Plant the seed there, and we'll see it growing when we return to the present. I'm so glad the construction crew didn't dig up the soil, or another person took the seed in the intervening forty years. Show her the flower, and she'll give us access to the storage. Apparently, that's a plant she cultivated.

Make your way to the dragon statue and go to where we saw Barkley. The path should be clear. There won't be a dog here, but Limitz and Marion will be waiting for us. Leonard and Limitz have some back-and-forth, but this scene is about Star and Marion. Limitz has completely warped her mind. No matter how hard Star tries to make his love remember, she remains loyal to Limitz. In one last act, Star pulls out the music box, hoping her song will work. It does! She remembers that her father never approved of Star. Limitz doesn't appreciate this and calls her a failure. He strikes her with lightning, killing her instantly. As expected, Star gets furious, and a fight begins. Star uses one Shot, and Limitz dies instantly.

Star is still upset, thinking all of his life has been in vain. Limitz, though, reminds him Marion is still alive. She has the same immortality he has. Marion emerges from the relief painting in the back and has regained her memories. As he accepts his death, Limitz gives us a Gold Card, which lets us access Star's best weapon and a key to returning him to his human self. It's in the Tower of Sand, a few rooms after the elevator room. Dorothy remembers we need to find Kandel for Emilina's sake, which Marion knows how to do. Pick up the Topaz and go to the Desert.

Star considers separating himself from Krill, his alien ghost. No one's sure what'll happen, but Star has a change of heart. For now, he needs this seemingly unimportant creature inside him.

Head to Emilina, and Marion reveals she's Kandel's physical self. She heads into the relief painting to combine once again and save Barkley. Star gets upset again because this means his goal has lost its meaning. He just found his love, but she's leaving him again. He leaves the team and enters the painting himself. We think he's dumb, so we go after him. Inside is another Satakula we need to beat up. Poison Drop the eye two or three times and attack. Every round, Kandel will summon a cyclops at a random location. Just ignore them. It's a pretty easy battle that only lasted three rounds.

We'll all exit from the relief, Marion included. She's carrying Star, who eventually gets up. Doing this seemed to have saved Marion from whatever would have made Star die, and Star rejoins the team. Emilina thanks us for saving Barkley and goes home.

Unaleph is the last to see. Inspect the ice coffins outside first to learn what happened to Leon in a battle long ago. We'll also notice Ellon is gone. Make your way to Unalpeh, and we can ask her a lot of questions. The biggest thing is that Unaleph is a Satakula, a Priestess, and a General. She's in charge of time, so she gets to be everything. It's confirmed that Selphia and Oriales are gods. Myra is also important, but she's not sure of it herself. If we have the Black Feather, we learn that Unalpeh did help kill everyone in Pioneer Town. When you've done, Unalpeh challenges us to a fight she quickly loses. She survives, gives us the Sapphire, and we should climb back to the statues.

Activating each one will give us a piece of gear that the user can use to summon the respective Satakula. Except for Dorothy's weapon, they're pretty useful, so I equipped them. This also opens up a new path. We're on the rainbow bridge, and there's one battle.

It's another awful one where mobs keep spawning. This is terrible game design!

We'll arrive at the Temple of Dream, Energy Breaker's final dungeon. If all goes well, we'll be done with this game...

...tomorrow!

I managed to get Myra's beat weapon. You bees to hand in thirty Pebbles before she gives it to you. But I still have so many questions! Unless something changes, I have a good idea what EB's rating will be.
