Leia Episode 2

In Callaha Sharl, Leia's found out that Drossel has been looking into and sending out teams to find a few Clanspia Agents gone missing in the area. Vel calls, saying that we're near an Alt World and Leia grabs Ludger's phone to ask if the missing Agents have anything to do with it, and Vel says that in their last transmission they reported having managed to pinpoint the identity of monster possessing the Time Factor. Alvin says that a monster that can take out a few Agents is going to be an easy one. Vel gives us the location of Alternate Bamia Canyon in World #F421C to check out the Time Factor, and tells us to be careful. Leia and Alvin go with us.

And the first person we meet in the Canyon is ShikiAgria, a girl who was one of Gaius' top soliders before she died in the last game, and who refused to get along with Leia no matter how much Leia tried-- to the point that even when Leia tried to save her, she chose to die instead. While giving Leia the finger.

Truly the best death in all of Tales.

Anyways, while Leia is shocked at Agria, Agria says she's late and kicks Leia in the knee then askes what's up with these useless guys. Choice between "Don't call us that" and "Nice to meet you". Going with the latter since Agria haet nice people she truly is Shiki...

Sure enough, Agria asks wth is up with us, then switches gears, saying that Leia finally left Jude for another guy AND LEIA DENIES. While blushing, so it's invalid. Alvin saves Leia from more verbal bashing by saying Leia press ganged them into helping with this monster she and Agria are supposed to take care of, and Agria stomps off on her own after it. Likely as not, it's the Time Factor.

God I hate this long climby dungeon forever

We catch up with Agria, and watch this massive gross sandowrm thing killing all the other monsters in the area-- like the one in Jude's episode, the Factor's driven it into a violent frenzy. Agria says with this busting around towns, those Elenpios garbage won't know what hit them. We all pause at this, and Leia asks if she plans to release it into Elenpios instead ofdestroy it. Agria says of course, it's no more than what they deserve with their Jin that kills Spirits, and wasn't this your idea to start? Leia is shocked at both Agria and her alternate self, and starts to argue that the people of Rieze Maxia and Elenpios have work together. Ludger asks why she can't believe in the people of Elenpios, and Agria reminds him of the Else-World Energy Project that the invading Elenpios army tried to use in the last game, and that were willing to completely drain Rieze Maxia in order to sustain themselves and didn't even try to negotiate or anything.

Leia suddenly hits Agria on the head, and says that rather than continue this, they should just get rid of the monster before any more damage is done. Agria hmphs and says she's good to do so on her own, jumps down and... gets knocked away. So we go down too and have ourselves a boss battle.

Afterwards we get a choice to either destroy the Time Factor immediately, or wait a bit, so Leia can help the unconscious Agria, so I take the second. Leia runs over calling Agria's name, but when she goes to kneel down, Agria leaps up and kicks Leia in the the knee again, taking her down, while saying she's too loud, did Leia think she'd die so easily? Leia retorts no, but she was worried anyways, and Agria figures since she owes Leia for that, she'll help her up. Leia's naturally shocked at Agria being nice, but quickly takes her hand when Agria asks what's up with her.

Agria then asks if Leia really believes in the people of Elenpios, and when Leia says she does, Agria says she would like to, since Leia proved that people can be trusted when she grabbed for Agria's hand as she fell in the last game. In this world, the event ended with Agria being saved rather than dying. She then backpedals when she realizes she's being sentimental, and calls Leia an idiot for that time. She walks away while telling Leia she'll call her later with their next job, and to take care on her way home. Leia looks absolutely torn, since she knows they have to destroy this world, and sure enough Ludger takes his cue to spear out the Factor.

Back in the Original World, Lulu mrows and rubs up against Leia who is crouched down and kind of trying not to cry. She asks Ludger that destroying the alt worlds is alright, right? He says it is, and Alvin points that now she knows that even someone like Agria could be saved. Leia understands this but says it's still sad how the people of the alternate worlds, no matter how happy they might be, just vanish like that. As Alvin, Ludger and Elle all head off to get something to eat after that, Leia quietly ask Agria to watch her.
