No happy endings.

We return to Conkram, but there's something missing. Like, everything. The clamshell that we saw on the world map is closed. The party climbs it, and Noa calls out to her parents, hoping desperately for any response. The area is barren, devoid of anything. Gala assumes that the city became such a vital part of the sim-seru that it vanished as its parasite did when the mist disappeared. He believes that the King and Queen knew this would happen. Noa gets mad at Terra because Terra should have known this would happen. Noa wanted to know it. Out of anger, confusion, and a realization that this journey brings nothing for her, she tells Terra she hates her. Noa breaks down and starts crying, and everything jumps ahead a few days. We've returned to Rim Elm.

Nene has to wake up Vahn, who's enjoying his retirement from saving the world. I can relate. Our friends are waiting for us, so let's go for a walk around Rim Elm. Everyone is glad to see us. We can also have a final match against our master. He's faster than me and whooped my ass, so maybe he should have saved the world?

Poor Noa is living with the elder. She's despondent and looking out the window. The loss of her family caused her to have an outburst against Terra, and even she's not talking to Noa anymore. The girl has never been more alone and hopeless. Sadly, Vahn is a silent protagonist and sucks.
Maya leaves her house and encourages us to talk to Mei. She's becoming a high class tailor and enjoying life. She's changed, as has Vahn, apparently. Out of character, Vahn moves in and kisses Mei. She turns red as Maya comes back. Vahn has to go talk to Gala at the Genesis Tree...

I don't remember what they talk about because they're interrupted by a kid telling them someone's asking for them. We can guess it's Usha, but the kid said his name is Songi.

Noa beat us there, as has our master and a few other townsfolk. I try to assume Songi has changed, but Vahn's quickly proven wrong. Songi starts talking about ruling the world and destroying Rim Elm. Tetsu tries to defend us but is quickly stopped with a single blow. Songi says he pulled his punches. I don't know why because he summons Juggernaut! He's fused with Cort, and Songi is going to use him to take over Legaia. But not just our world but Seru-kai as well.

Juggernaut does something and turns Rim Elm into a similar location as Conkram. Songi seals something to prevent us from stopping him and leaves. If we truly want to save the world, we need to travel to Seru-kai and get him there.

Eru Mai is our gateway. After the party prays to Tieg, an interdimensional hole opens up. As we go through it, Terra encourages everyone and wishes them well. The rest of the seru tell us more about the ra-seru. They're supposed to be fail safes in case Rouge got freed. They're supposed to do what they're doing and help mankind save the two worlds. So it's all going according to plan!

Everyone arrives in a world with floating blue hexagons around. It's a short walk filled with seru you probably already have, and there's a giant Genesis Tree at the end. The Great Genesis Tree is trapped in a special type of sim-seru, and Songi is draining the tree's power. After he compares himself to us, saying we're all being manipulated by the ra-seru, which he has, and reminds us he's the perfect being and best to become god, a fight starts.

This sucked. Songi's attacks do between 1500 and 3000 damage, and there's no way to know who or when he'll strike. I died and realized I'm kinda over Legend of Legaia. I cheated and gave myself a permanent max HP code. Sorry.

We beat the ra-seru that was inside Songi, and his body starts to convulse. Humans aren't capable of being in this realm, so he's being torn apart now that his seru is gone. He curses us and dies. But he fatally damaged the GGT. All the seru will soon die, and we will follow along with them. Suddenly, three lights appear overhead. It's Hari! They're the words of Tieg and, therefore, immortal. They appear and grant the tree more power at the cost of their souls, allowing us to empower it more. But it's only for a short time. We'll need to defeat Cort again to save our world before the tree dies. Time is running out.

We're warped back to Legaia and find ourselves on Mt. Rikuru, where we met Noa. The Rim Elm tree is dead, so this is the closest. From here, we can explore the world one more time. Our friends are boring, but we still should travel to three (two) places. Our ra-seru has one more level to gain. Terra's level is the tree on Rikuru, and Ozma is his tree in Voz. Vahn has to seek the tree in Sol. Hari will give us even more last of his power. And with that, I'm ready to finish this!

We walk back to Rim Elm, and Vahn needs a second to stabilize himself. Gala reminds him of all the miracles they've done throughout the journey, so what's one more. Noa seems less enthusiastic, seeing as her hometown looked a lot like this, so there's no guarantee the villagers will be alive on the otherside. The ra-seru unseal the magic block over Juggernaut's mouth and climb into the final dungeon. And I'll do that...

...tomorrow!

Why did Songi help us? Are sim-seru not reliant on the Great Genesis Tree? Let's see how this ends!
