Battle at Mount Frost Cutscene

After defeating the Armored Frost Dragon, the hero breaks into the ice cave behind it.

• Voice: Breaking in is a crime, you know. And not to mention, vandalizing private property... tisk, tisk. Have you no manners?

• Hero: Who is there? Show yourself!

• Voice: Show myself? Just open your eyes, Human... I am everywhere. The snow beneath your feet... the icicles above your head... the frigid breeze wrapping around your nearly frozen body...

• Hero: Listen, creepy voice from the shadows, I don't have time for your silly metaphors. I am looking for someone by the name of Aisha...

Queen Aisha appears.

• Aisha: That's Queen Aisha to you! How dare you use my name so freely?

• Hero: Well I'm glad you finally came out of your cubby hole. It's about time.

• Aisha: Likewise. I was starting to wonder how long it would take you to reach me. My people have been talking about you ever since you began your climb...

• Hero: Wait, what? What do you mean by "your people"?

• Aisha: Silly Human, do you not listen? My people are the innocent ones that you carelessly cast away. The Wyrms... the Golems... the Dragons... everyone. They are my people... they are part of me... they are my family!

• Hero: Your family, huh? If that's the case, I can't imagine what your in-laws are like... Listen, lady, I've climbed all this way and I'm in no mood for your shenanigans...

The hero points at Aisha.

• Hero: ...I'm cold, I'm cranky, and I could really use a hot cup of cocoa. Can we just get this over with?

• Aisha: I thought you'd never ask.

With one wave of her arm, Aisha calls down an ice laser that sends the hero plummeting back down to the bottom of Mount Frost.

• Adak: I take it things didn't go so well?

• Hero: I... I guess that's the optimistic way of looking at it.

• Adak: Well, what happened?!

• Hero: ...She's too powerful... I'm sorry... She just raised her hand and THRRRUP! Down the mountain I fell... Her strength was incredible... her face was as cold as ice... her eyes showed no mercy... it was like... it was like she wasn't even human!

• Voice: It's because she's not human.

Camera pans over to include Nythera.

• Adak: Who are you?

• Hero: Wait... I think I've seen you before... are you...

• Nythera: That's right. I'm Nythera. The Blue Mage Warlic briefed me on what has been happening to the Frozen Northlands. I decided to come investigate... but I never expected to find you here.

• Hero: Nythera, I-

• Adak: Please, Nythera, please help! My village... my people... Queen Aisha is going to freeze it all!

• Nythera: What do you think I'm here for, Villager? The Queen and I have some striking similarities...

Nythera's eyes glow as she smiles.

• Nythera: and I have what some would consider "a plan".

• Hero: I have a bad feeling about her so-called "plan"...

• Adak: What choice do we have left? Nythera, I speak for everyone here: please, we will do whatever it takes to defeat Queen Aisha.

• Nythera: Just the answer I was looking for. I suggest preparing yourselves for the toughest fight of your lives. We attack in one week.

• Hero: Nythera! Wait! When you said "she's not human", what did that mean? What kind of similarities do you "share" with Queen Aisha?

• Nythera: Oh, didn't you know? It's quite simple. I am half dragon and Aisha... She is Queen of the Ice Dragons.

Facing Aisha Cutscene

The hero and Nythera enter Aisha's throne room and look around. Aisha appears.

• Aisha: Well look at that, you're back. And your front. You're both here! I've been expecting you. It appears I have the upper hand, too. I knew you would come barging in if I backed off from that primitive village! Now you are both trapped on my turf.

• Nythera: Hmph.

• Hero: Aisha! Your cold-hearted reign is over! Surrender now, or prepare for your chilly doom!

Aisha laughs.

• Aisha: Did you think of that all by yourself?

• Hero: Uh... well... yea, I thought it was pretty clever given the circumstances...

• Nythera: Queen Aisha, stop this at once. You cannot win. So I don't even see a point to fighting.

Aisha begins powering up.

• Aisha: Well there is only one way to find out for sure.

• Nythera: Here's your chance. Hold her off for as long as you can. I need a few minutes to prepare...

• Hero: WHAT?! Prepare for what?!

Nythera runs off to prepare for her ultimate attack. Aisha summons her drake. Aisha's drake roars.

Nythera's Sacrifice Cutscene

Aisha's drake has been defeated, and Aisha is struggling to get up.

• Aisha: You... you...

Aisha gets up and laughs.

• Aisha: You have seen nothing yet!

Weary after having defeated Aisha's drake, the hero is panting. Aisha powers up again, and this time transforms into a dragon. Nythera runs back in and holds out a Chaos Gemerald.

• Hero: Nythera, no you can't-

• Nythera: Hmph. Do not tell me what to do. This is my choice. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the greater good.

Nythera breaks her Chaos Gemerald and transforms into a dragon. She and Aisha fight as they blow their flames at one another. The flames clash together in the fashion of one of those deals where you know that one of the attacks is going to overpower the other. And, of course, Nythera's fire overpowers Aisha's and defeats her, destroying her throne room and tossing the hero out. The hero rushes over to her.

• Hero: That was amazing! The way you faced her and how you were all like-
• Nythera: Leave me alone.
• Hero: Huh? Are you okay?
• Nythera: I need to be left alone for a bit. Please. Just go. Go back to Guwio and let Adak know that he has nothing else to worry about... for now...
• Hero: Nyth-
• Nythera: Go!

The hero leaves. Nythera holds out a sample of Chaos energy.

• Nythera: This... power... it is amazing... but no... no... it's Chaos... it is beyond evil...

Xing & Xang appear.

• Nythera: Who are you two?
• Xing: We are your friends...
• Xang: ...and we are here to guide you on the right path.
• Nythera: Hmph. Really how? And which path would that be?

Xing & Xang laugh.

• Xing & Xang: You already know.

Nythera becomes chaorrupted.
