It's the little things that wow me.
The party returns to Stonehenge only to find Brown G as they leave. There's not much of a happy reunion, as Red gets down to business and wants answers for Brown's actions. He reiterates what he said in his letter: Brown wanted to explore the World Tree, so he researched the Oparts. Much of this was spurred on by, presumably, Georgia talking to him in his dreams. The topic turns to the Ferric Falcon, which the Brothers G inform their father has been repaired. Dr. Hello went and done it! With that knowledge, the game automatically jumps us to Babel Dome.
Also, Leonardo ran up to Red and gave him a duel invite that Leo wanted us to hand to J-Elf. We ignored it...
Hello retells us how the Falcon is only missing its power source, but Georgia gave us the Feather for that purpose. Hello begins preparations, but those'll take a few days. Days that we quickly learn we don't have. The warning klaxons ring out as monsters are attacking the tower. The party heads down two flights, fighting some incredibly powerful mobs. The exp rewards are really good, though, so it may be worth grinding a bit. But fire ends up blocking the path, so the party must return to the top. Hello urges us to escape, but we're concerned about the Falcon. Hello is worried that his work will end in another failure, but everyone believes in this man we just met. We climb aboard the Falcon and prepare for take off.
But then Dark Lord warps in. He doesn't want us to advance, but there's no way we can blow past him. Brown exits the Falcon and prepares to fight against the Dark Lord. He throws us the final Opart, the Talking Stone, first. Greg hits him with a chi blast, and Brown poofs away. Okay... But it worked, and the Ferric Falcon takes off!
While Dark Lord cannot fly, another underling can. Fossile catches up to us midflight, so there's a battle here. It's a tiny field, but it's enough. Hopefully, you gave all your SP pits to Blue because he's pretty useless here. Pongo and Rain can use magic, and Red should spam Slashes. I also placed the smiling doll behind everyone for some good regain.
After the flying dinosaur skeleton dies (again), a new task is at hand. A series of natural events tries to block our path. These are barriers by the World Tree and fairies. The Oparts need to be used. Dad's Talking Stone is used first and guides us through the procedure. It's usually obvious, but the Dark Globe sets up the final push. It feels kinda random, but I'll blame translation puffery.
The Ferric Falcon lands good enough in another frozen realm. Dr. Hello and his bird remain behind to repair it, so we're on our own. Luckily, he brought a new item with him that we can use (by speaking to him) to restore our status and save. From here, we need to battle our way through abominable snowmen. We'll only need to fight one, but someone is waiting for us.
The final (?) underling of Dark Lord jumps out at us, declares his love for Greg, and fights us. Fenril is joined by three yetis and can summon red skeleton goblins. I had Red and Rain go up the middle while Blue and Pongo distracted the other two with status effects.
Behind him is the final fairy, but she's already been crystallized. It yells at the guardians for help. Behind her is the biggest tree ever. The party wonders how they'll get to the top, and Rain and Pongo step up. They appear to cast a spell, and we all start to fly up the trunk of the tree. It takes a long time, and Blue mostly talks about something childish. Rain is concerned that her secret will be revealed...
At the top is a desolate and ruined village. Most of the homes are empty or contain new gear. But there are a few depressed beings underground in the back. They believe that the fairies are gone, and the guardians (who are different than the fae) are nowhere to be found. One thinks we're them but refuses to get hopeful. There's a restore and save sphere within, and the Demon's Castle is what appears to be where a temple would be. I think we're at the end, so I'll finish Treasure Hunter G...
...tomorrow!
There are a lot of things that need to be explained and very little time to do it in.
