"Merry Christmas from the Future"/Story

Merry Christmas from the Future Story: Intro

Speaker	Dialogue
	<Player's Name>'s Residence, Shibuya
	Good job, Master. Today was another busy day. Let's get into bed. We don't want to be tired for Christmas tomorrow!
	Hee hee! I can't wait to see what Santa will bring me!
	Hey, there!
	Oh! H-Holly?! It's you!
	.........
	Oh, and Pipe Fox, too! What are you two doing here at this hour?
	H-Help me...
	Huh?
	Pipe Fox has amnesia!
	What?! Amnesia?! You mean like that thing you get just before surgery?
	Uh, no. That's "anesthesia." We're talking about "amensia" here! Memory loss! Um, Holly... Are you really sure these people can help us...?
	Let's leave the talking for later! Right now, won't you please just come with us?!
	Um, okay. This is a big deal, after all! Let's go, Master!

Bear Attack!

Speaker	Dialogue
	So, what happened to Pipe Fox?!
	Well...
	Grooooooooowl!
	What is that?! It looks like...a teddy bear?!
	One of them followed us here?!
	We have to fight! <Player's Name>, please help us!
<Battle Scene>
	Phew! We did it!
	Wow... You really are just as skilled as I was told.
	Ha ha! What's up with you, Pipe Fox? You're acting like it's the first time we've ever met!
	Well... To me, at the moment, it IS the first time we've ever met...
	Huh? Oh, right... That anesthesia thing...
	<Player's Name>! Mira! Thank you so much for your help! You're very strong.
	No problem! That was an easy fight for my master!
	But, more importantly, what was that teddy bear thing, anyway?!
	Well, that was actually one of the "Extreme Carnage Cybears," or just "cybears," for short.
	Come again?
	One of the "Extreme Carnage Cybears," or just "cybears," for short.
	Extreme...Carnage...?
	Yes. Think of them like police dogs, but in the shape of cuddly stuffed bears!
	I don't think police dogs create carnage!
	They're very loyal and always follow orders. That's why I say they're like police dogs.
	But their name really ruins that whole "police dog" image for them, don't you think?
	Well, I guess you could say the person who created them is somewhat...eccentric... A-Anyway! Don't worry! Those cybears only have orders to arrest us!
	But if they got the order, they would kill us...?
	Hey, wait a minute. Come to think of it, that cybear just now seemed to have been only going after Pipe Fox...
	You're right...
	There's a certain organization that's trying to track Pipe Fox down.
	An organization? What organization?
	The Time Patrol. A group that polices time and maintains its proper order.

Protectors of Time

Speaker	Dialogue
	The Time Patrol... I didn't think they actually existed...
	Oh! You've heard of them, Mira? The Time Patrol is supposed to be established in the future, so it really shouldn't exist now.
	But I've always thought it would be really cool if it actually did exist!
	Oh...h-have you? Well, you certainly are enthusiastic about the subject, aren't you...
	Anyway, why would the Time Patrol be interested in Pipe Fox?
	Growl!
	Uh-oh! Umm... It's an Extreme Carnage Cybear...
	Cybear, for short! <Player's Name>, we have to defeat it!
<Battle Scene>
	Phew... I think we can relax for the time being.
	Anyway... Holly... Tell us, why is the Time Patrol after Pipe Fox?
	It seems that he stole some item of personal property from Chronos.
	Chronos... You mean the goddess of time? That Chronos?!
	Yes. The Time Patrol was established and is managed by Chronos.
	Wow... Playing with the big league...
	So what did Pipe Fox steal from this top hitter?
	A scepter.
	A...scepter?
	Yes. It's the source of Chronos's power. She needs it.
	Pipe Fox, why did you take it?!
	Even I don't know...
	I see...
	But Pipe Fox wouldn't take it without a good reason.
	Huh...?
	I agree. We need to find out the truth.
	I'm starting to get the picture. And we'll definitely help, too!
	Pipe Fox is our friend, after all. Right, Master?
	Friend...?
	Come on. Let's continue on.
	Yes. And keep our eyes out for more cybears along the way.

Pipe Fox's Crime?

Speaker	Dialogue
	Phew... We keep bumping into cybears. I wonder how many of them there are. Do you really think they'd make that many of such a complicated robot?
	Who knows? The Time Patrol is a big organization...
	Hmm... This is looking like it's going to be a difficult case.
	Master, we need to discover why Pipe Fox took the scepter as soon as possible.
	If only Pipe Fox could remember something, it would make the investigation easier. Apparently, Pipe Fox is keeping the stolen scepter inside his body.
	Huh?! You mean he ate it?!
	No! That's not what I mean at all! Chronos's scepter is an enormous collection of energy... It's very difficult to keep it in the form of a scepter. Pipe Fox probably couldn't keep it in its physical form and then he absorbed the dispersed energy.
	And that's what you mean when you say the scepter is inside his body...?
	That's right. I think that his memory got caught up in the huge torrent of energy, and that's why he's confused now.
	I see. So if we do something about that energy, his memory will return?
	Exactly. It's just that either Pipe Fox will be able to handle the scepter, or... He will disappear.
	Disappear...
	Chronos is probably trying to make Pipe Fox disappear so she can get her scepter back.
	We won't let that happen! Right, Master?
	Mira, <Player's Name>...
	Let's go, Master!
	We have to get Pipe Fox's memory back!

Splitting Up

Speaker	Dialogue
	Good job, Master. You're getting used to fighting these cybears.
	Very impressive, <Player's Name>. I can rest easy leaving you on the case.
	Huh? What do you mean?!
	I think I might go back to the Time Patrol's HQ. I'm a member...so I'm the only one who can get some inside information.
	Sure... HUH?! Wait! What? Holly, you're a member of the Time Patrol?!
	Yep! I am, actually.
	So that's why you know so much about the Time Patrol.
	But are you sure you should go alone? You'll be in great danger if they discover you're on Pipe Fox's side.
	I'll be fine. Leave it to me. I am well-respected within the Time Patrol. I will find a way to help Pipe Fox.
	You have some real determination.
	We will do our best, here, too! Don't worry about us!
	Great! <Player's Name>, please look after Pipe Fox! Well, then!
	Okay! Master, let's do everything we can to protect Pipe Fox.
	Pipe Fox, don't worry! You're in the good hands of the experts.
	I-I see. Thank you.
	Let's gather some more information!

Scientific Genius

Speaker	Dialogue
	Okay! Master, we need to try our best to protect Pipe Fox.
	He is our friend. We can't let the Time Patrol get its hands on him.
	I'm sorry... I'm causing you all so much trouble, <Player's Name> and Mira...
	.........
	Umm... Why do you look so sad?
	Oh, sorry... It's just... You used Master's name... And...
	It's nothing... I mean, of course you'd use Master's name.
	Oh...I...
	Grooooooooooooowl!
	Oh! It's a cybear!
	We managed to run into another one! Come on, Master, it's time to fight!
<Battle Scene>
	All done! Good job, Master.
	I feel that those cybears are getting stronger...
	Of course they are! I'm recalibrating them to be more effective against you!
	Wh-Who are you?
	You don't know me? Fools! Then let me educate you! My name is Déjà Vu! A scientific genius known the world over!
	Umm...well, I haven't heard of you.
	Me, neither.
	I don't think my master knows you, either. I'm not so sure you're all that well-known...
	Ugh... I WILL be well-known, then! Because I'm a scientific genius among scientific geniuses!
	This is just a guess but...as you're with the cybears...are you also a member of the Time Patrol?
	Exactly right! And I'm impressed that you're able to defeat the cybears so easily. You are a good subject for my experiments! There will be a more resilient cybear waiting for you next time. Be watching for it! See you soon!
	She's gone... She was a little weird, don't you think, Master?
	There sure are a lot of different kinds of spirits in the Time Patrol.
	But that doesn't change the fact that they're all after Pipe Fox! We need to be careful.

What Was Lost

Speaker	Dialogue
	Mira... About what you were talking about before...
	Huh? Umm... Remind me...?
	You thought it was strange when I used your master's name...
	Oh, okay. Now I remember.
	What did I used to call <Player's Name>?
	"Master." Just like I do.
	Master...? I would feel kind of awkward saying that...
	Oh...really?
	I feel like we've only just met, so talking to <Player's Name> like that would be weird...
	I see...
	I know it must be strange to you now. I'm sorry...
	Not to worry! Getting your memory back will fix everything.
	And it doesn't matter how many times it takes. We will always be friends again!
	No matter how many times?
	That's right! It's a fresh start! We will just have to make friends all over again. Isn't that right, Master?
	Thank you. Both of you. I wish I could do more in return for you...
	You don't need to worry so much.
	We just need to try our best to get your memory back. Okay?
	Y-Yes... Thank you again.

Bluster

Speaker	Dialogue
	Heh heh heh.
	Oh! Is that...?
	It's you again, Dijon!
	It's "Déjà Vu"! How dare you get the name of the greatest scientist in the world wrong! You'll pay for that!
	Grooooooooowl!
	Uh-oh! It's another cybear!
	This is a special one I made. Beat them to a pulp and teach them to treat a genius with respect!
<Battle Scene>
	N-No...
	Phew... But it wasn't that big a deal, was it?
	I agree. It wasn't much different from the others.
	Ngh... W-Wa ha ha! This was the expected result. Just wait for the next one! The next one will strike fear into your hearts!
	Hmph. She's running away again.
	Oops! OW!
	She...tripped?
	Ngh... You'll pay for this, too!
	She's gone now... She looked like she was going to cry at the end there.
	You know, I wonder... Maybe she calls herself a genius, but she really isn't one, is she?
	I guess somebody had to say it.
	I don't think we should say it to her face, though. It would be too cruel...
	I don't think we have to worry too much about being nice to her.
	Shall we keep going? And, Master, stay prepared. Anything could happen.

The Quintessence of a Scientific Genius

Speaker	Dialogue
	Oh! It's Déjà Vu again.
	So, you have found me once again, have you!
	Well...we weren't exactly looking for you...
	Now for the deciding battle between us! Finally, we will end this!
	"Finally"? We only just met.
	And I'm not sure there's really anything to "decide"...
	Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Whatever! This is the deciding battle, I tell you!
	Grooooooooooooowl!
	Yikes! This cybear looks pretty strong...
	Can you feel it? This one seems stronger than the others.
	Heh... You have realized too late! I am the great and genius scientist, Déjà Vu! And you will kneel before me!
<Battle Scene>
	There! That should do it.
	We've tied her up well. She won't be able to run away now.
	Mmph... Th-This was also an expected result.
	You mean being tied up with rope like this?
	Of course! I am a genius! I had run simulations of every possible outcome in my mind already!<
	In that case, why are you trembling?
	It's a tremor of excitement! I am ready for the fight!
	The fight is already over...
	What do you think, Master? Shall we just leave her here?
	No. Let's take her with us. She's a member of the Time Patrol. She may be able to provide us with information.
	H-How could you capture me, a scientific genius?!
	If you're such a genius, you must be able to understand the situation you're in, right?
	Why are you looking at me like that?! I'll say this now! I will not give up any of my wisdom!
	Are you going to cut it out with the big talk now?
	Umm... Yes, okay...
	Pipe Fox looks really serious.
	He may have lost his memory, but he's still the same steadfast ally underneath.
	All right. We've come to an understanding with the captive. Let's change our location.
	Right. Roger, that.
	Well, let's go, Master.

The Next Clue

Speaker	Dialogue
	Phew... There sure are a lot of cybears.
	I hope we get some information before we're completely worn out. And...Déjà Vu, was it?
	You've finally remembered the name of the greatest scientist who ever lived! Recognition at last!
	Don't confuse "recognition" with "recognizing."
	Er...
	You know what happened to me. Please tell me everything.
	Heh heh heh. I'm not going to tell you that easily!
	I thought we agreed to cut out the big talk?
	.........
	I...think she's going to cry.
	Hmph! No matter how much you threaten me, I won't yield to the likes of non-geniuses like you!
	So you're saying you won't talk?
	Of course I won't! I don't know what you did, but why should I talk to a common criminal?
	Wait a minute... You don't know what I did?
	Well...
	But you were chasing me on the orders of Chronos, weren't you?
	O-Of course! Who can the goddess of time depend on if not a genius like me?
	Are you sure you're telling the truth?
	O-Of course...
	.........
	Well... Actually... The truth is, I quite generously allowed my eternal rival, John Titor, to handle this case. I've been so magnanimous in leaving it to him, in fact, that I...er...don't really know much about the details...
	So in conclusion...you know absolutely nothing, is that it?
	Well, I am a genius, after all. I have more than my fair share of accolades. I thought it would be quite big of me to allow my rival some of the credit now and again.
	The expression on your face is telling quite a different story.
	Bah! Wh-What do you know, anyway?!
	Fine. Whatever. Take us to this John Titor.
	Fine! I will! And then you will have to admire my impressive directional skills!
	Can't you do anything without making a song and dance about it?
	Hmm, John Titor...
	I feel like I've seen that name before on the Internet...
	I think he might be famous. Anyway, we'd better talk to him. Let's press on, <Player's Name>.

Time Patrol Captain

Speaker	Dialogue
	L-Look. That is John Titor.
	That man?
	Hmm? Well, if it isn't Déjà Vu! What happened? Why are you tied up? Is that some kind of new genius game?
	Ngh... Th-That's right. How did you guess? But, of course, I wouldn't expect any less from my rival.
	Déjà Vu, you really shouldn't bluff so much.
	Shut up! And stop looking sorry for me!
	So, you must be John Titor?
	And you must be Pipe Fox. Have you come to turn yourself in peacefully?
	No. Actually, we came to talk to you about—
	I'm sorry. But I'm afraid it's my job to apprehend you.
	Grooooooooowl!
	Yikes! What, no discussion first?!
	<Player's Name>! Looks like we need to defeat this cybear!
<Battle Scene>
	Phew... We did it.
	John... Your cybear is gone now. Please talk to us now.
	.........
	John...?
	Why do you keep staring at my master like that?
	Your master interests me.
	Huh?
	Good. Things are getting interesting.
	H-Hey! Where are you going?!
	We'll met again. Goodbye.
	He left, just like that?!
	We can't let him get away! Come on, [Player's Name]. Let's go after him!

An Elusive Man

Speaker	Dialogue
	There he is! John!
	Oh! You're fast! You already caught up with me, did you? But I'm not quite ready to apprehend you yet. Let me go for a little while longer.
	Well, we're certainly not going to stand around idly while you GET ready. And the one who will be doing the apprehending... ...is us!
	Wow! He's fast! But in a very straight line.
	...!
	He dodged us! That guy can really move!
	Too bad for you. Now, if you'll excuse me.
	Wait!
	Pipe Fox!
	Master! We have to chase after John, too!

Commence Experiment

Speaker	Dialogue
	Master, Mira. Stop! Please! It looks like he's ready now.
	Huh? Oh...
	Hey, there. I've been waiting for you.
	John... Do you intend to capture Pipe Fox?
	That is my job.
	Hmph. Liar. A genius like me can see right through you. You're not the sort of man who's devoted to his job. You have something else up your sleeve.
	Heh. You figured it out, did you? I guess I'm no match for you, Déjà Vu.
	Exactly! I know, because I'm a genius.
	Let's just ignore Déjà Vu. John... Tell us. What are you up to, exactly?!
	I am under no obligation to tell you.
	Gr-Grooooowl!
	Yikes! It's another powerful cybear!
	John! I need to talk to you!
	Sure. If you can defeat this cybear.
	Grooooooooooooowl!
	Master, here it comes!
<Battle Scene>
	We did it! We beat the cybear!
	Just what I expected of you, <Player's Name>.
	Indeed... This agent is unusually strong. Who are you?
	This is my master! A remarkable agent who has solved many, many cases!
	A legend of the time. A hero, some might say. I see. Just as I thought.
	How impertinent! I don't like the way you're smirking!
	I'm not smirking. I'm just enjoying myself. So you're <Player's Name>? It is an honor to go up against you.<r> I want to see more of your power. The experiment continues.
	Hey! He ran away again!
	Experiment? Why do I feel he isn't taking this seriously?
	Pipe Fox, Master, let's chase after him! I have a feeling we need to find out what he's up to!

Very Special Indeed

Speaker	Dialogue
	You defeated that one, too? You really are something else!
	John... Please, give us a break.
	Hmm? What do you mean?
	This attitude of yours! We need you to be serious and talk to us properly.
	That's right! Tell us what you think is so amusing.
	Ha ha! Please don't get so mad. I can't help but enjoy observing you.
	Observing...us?
	Perhaps you don't realize it, but... You are all very special indeed.
	Well, you don't need to tell me that! I am, after all—
	Shut up, Déjà Vu.
	Whoa! Your glare is really scary...
	Setting aside Déjà Vu here for a moment... And I'd better keep quiet about <Player's Name>, too. I don't want to tread into classified territory... But, you, Pipe Fox. You are the only spirit in the whole of history who has ever managed to pull off the theft of the goddess of time's scepter.
	But...
	That scepter is basically Chronos's life. You stole her life.
	When you say it like that, it does sound really serious.
	But what can I say? I don't remember any of it.
	I suppose you're right. It's such a shame that you lost your memory. But you and <Player's Name> are so very special... I'd like to observe you a little longer. I still have some cybears left. Please let me enjoy myself a bit more.
	And he's gone again.
	Well, at least we know his motives now. But we need to keep moving forward.
	I agree. It doesn't seem like he bears Pipe Fox any ill will, though.
	Maybe we can even persuade him to join us!
	Do you really think that's possible? He's quite tough, you know. He is, after all, the rival of someone like me!
	Yes, let's try and persuade John!
	Hey! Don't ignore me!
	Heh heh. Come on, Master. Let's go after John again!

The Quintessence of Charisma

Speaker	Dialogue
	We found you, John.
	Hello again. The cybear here is the strongest of my command. I want you to fight him and show me your true courage.
	Will this be the final battle?
	This is all just an experiment to me. Now, let's begin!
	Grooooooooooooowl!
	Here it comes!
<Battle Scene>
	I-I can't believe it... You defeated it so easily...
	You were great, Master! That was an amazing battle!
	John... We defeated your cybear. Now will you be reasonable?
	Yes, all right. But let me ask you a question. Do you remember nothing about how you stole the scepter or why?
	Nothing at all. I really have no idea.
	I see...
	So we really can't do anything until we get Pipe Fox's memory back.
	Let's try and do that, then, shall we?
	Huh?
	Are you inviting yourself to join us?
	I am a researcher above all things. If I go with you, I may be able to discover some clues.
	You mean...you'll help us?!
	If that's all decided, then, we should move out. There is lots of information to collect.
	Hey! Wait a minute! Master, what do you want to do?
	We don't want to lose sight of him. For now, let's just go after him.
	Hmm. Such a charismatic personality! Quite fitting in one great enough to rival a genius such as me!
	Déjà Vu! Stop muttering to yourself and come on! Otherwise, we'll leave you behind!
	W-Wait! You can't leave a genius behind! The world needs me! Anyway, isn't it time you untied me?!

Constant Cybears

Speaker	Dialogue
	Phew... It feels good to be free again.
	Now, remember. You promised to help us.
	That's why we untied you. If you were lying...
	I was telling the truth! Don't glare at me like that! It will be a good opportunity to have a showdown with Titor. This is my chance to demonstrate the power of my true genius!
	Ha ha! Déjà Vu, you are as excitable as always.
	A-And you're very easygoing...
	Anyway, John... How are we going to get my memory back?
	Grooooooooowl!
	Gaaaaah! It's a cybear!
<Battle Scene>
	<Player's Name>, good work. You make it look easy. Anyway, let's talk more about Pipe Fox.
	Hey! Wait! Why are we getting attacked by cybears?! Aren't you a member of the Time Patrol, John?!
	Oh, that... I'm sorry, but I can't stop the cybears from attacking.
	Huh? Why not?
	I'm not the top commander in this case. It's Chronos. Until things are resolved between her and Pipe Fox, the cybears will keep attacking.
	So the goddess of time really is after Pipe Fox, isn't she...
	But, John... If you can't stop the cybears...
	Does that mean you'll have to fight them with us?
	I don't mind. It's a small price to pay to have the chance to accompany you. Right. Now, let's get back to data collection. I look forward to working with you, <Player's Name>.

Memorial Mission

Speaker	Dialogue
	Great work, <Player's Name>. Quite an intriguing battle, indeed! Anyway, I knew from the beginning that we weren't going to learn anything by just floundering around haphazardly.
	If you knew that from the beginning, why didn't you say so?
	So...what should we do? How do we break this deadlock in our case?
	I just thought of something. If we give Pipe Fox a blow to the head, maybe the shock will bring his memory back?
	If you hit me, I'll hit you back.
	Er...
	Well, I guess that idea is out. He might just forget more. But I do agree with the idea of giving him a stimulating shock.
	Of course you agree! It's the idea of a genius!
	Umm... So can you outline the plan?
	Let's go and see some of Pipe Fox's acquaintances. If they talk about their shared memories with Pipe Fox, it just may stimulate his memory to come back.
	But that didn't work with us or Holly.
	This will be volume over quantity. If we have him see a lot of his friends and stimulate the part of his mind that stores memories, they might just return.
	.........
	Uh-oh. You don't look happy.
	There's still a problem. If he's lost his memory, he's not going to know where his friends are.
	Oh, I can help with that!
	You can?
	Pipe Fox and I have talked a lot, so I know who he's friends with.
	Let's go find lots of daemons and see if we can't get those memories of his back!
	All right. It's certainly worth a try.
	Great! Just leave it to me!
	It's decided, then. Come on, <Player's Name>. Let's go. We're off on a memorial mission!

A Fox and Dog Snowball Fight

Speaker	Dialogue
	Here we are. It's Cu Sith.
	Hmm? Mira and Pipe Fox! And I don't believe I've ever met your friends. Is something up?
	Yes... You see, Pipe Fox has—
	Pipe Fox! Just the guy I wanted to see! I have a question for you. So, about tomorrow... Did you want to meet at the plaza?
	I made plans with you for tomorrow?
	Huh? Did you forget?
	That's what we've been trying to tell you. Pipe Fox has—
	Grooooooooooooowl!
	Whoa! What's with the bear thing?!
	We were in the middle of a conversation!
	Master. We need to get rid of this cybear first.
<Battle Scene>
	Pipe Fox has lost his memory?
	Exactly.
	That's why I don't remember our plans. I'm really sorry.
	Well, I guess, given the circumstances, it can't be helped. Don't worry about it.
	I think we should get down to business. We have a favor to ask. Can you talk to Pipe Fox about your memories with him?
	Do you really think it will help?
	We hope so.
	It doesn't sound like much of a plan... But, whatever. Let's try it. Okay, so Pipe Fox and I are always complaining about our friends.
	What sort of complaints?
	Well... In my case, it's always about that dumb cat.
	Oh! You mean Cat Sith, right? Yes, we sympathize...
	And Pipe Fox is always complaining about Mira.
	Huh? You mean me?!
	That's right. For example, he knows you're really dedicated, and that he can trust you, but he says you act like a kid. He thinks you need to grow up... Etc... Etc...
	He says I'm childish?!
	Something like that. Anyway, we just like having gripe sessions together. So? Did you remember anything?
	No... Nothing...
	Hmm... Anyway, what was the plan for tomorrow?
	Nothing important. It looked like it was going to snow, so I invited you to come and play in the snow with me. You know, blow off some steam.
	L-Like a snowball fight, you mean?
	Yeah. Snow is great! We can get all excited... Run around a bit...
	A-And I said I wanted to do that?
	Sure. You were pretty excited about it.
	I-I see...
	Hmph. You're the one who's a big kid, Pipe Fox!
	I-I don't know if I am or not...
	Hmm... I guess his memory didn't come back. Let's try the next one. Mira, show us the way.
	Oh, sure. Thanks, Cu Sith! See you soon!
	You bet! I hope you get your memory back soon, Pipe Fox!
	Thanks. So do I...
	Hey, don't look at Cu Sith that way. You're the one who agreed to have a snowball fight!
	I know... I'm not mad at Cu Sith. But I would like to have a little chat with the person I was before I lost my memory...
	Ha ha. Anyway, on we go!

Fox and Hare Parallel Worlds

Speaker	Dialogue
	Oh, no! This is awful, simply awful!
	Huh? March Hare?
	Hey, Mira! Good evening! But this isn't the time for hellos! I'm late! For a very important date!
	You're always in a big rush, aren't you, March? Oh, which reminds me! March, you know Pipe Fox, right?
	Huh? Umm...yeah, a bit.
	In that case, maybe you could talk to him? You see—
	Grooooooooooooowl!
	Eeek! A bear?!
	Look out! It's another one! You know what to do, Master!
<Battle Scene>
	So Pipe Fox has lost his memory?
	Exactly. And we want you to talk to him to see if you can help him remember anything.
	I'm not sure if I'll be much help. I've only spoken to Pipe Fox that one time before.
	What do you mean by "that one time?"
	Well... I was running late to the Red Queen's party... Pipe Fox knew what happened and he came with me to apologize. He covered for me by lying and saying that I was late because I had been helping him with something. It's because of him that the queen didn't chop off my head. I owe him a lot.
	Wow. I didn't know about all that...
	What do you mean, you didn't know? You were there with us, Mira!
	Huh? This is the first I've heard of it...
	What? But you apologized with us to the Red Queen!
	I don't remember any of that. Am I losing my memory, too?!
	No... That must have been a parallel world.
	Huh? A parallel world?
	That's right. It's like another possible world. A "what if" world. There isn't just one world. There are infinite worlds branching at each possibility. The hare is talking about a Mira from another world.
	It sounds pretty confusing.
	We aren't normally aware of parallel worlds. And it shouldn't be possible to move between them. But this hare apparently— No. I think I'll leave that thought unspoken. It's interesting, but I want to focus on one problem at a time.
	Umm... Do you need me anymore? Or can I go? The Red Queen has a party.
	Then you really shouldn't be late! You'd better hurry!
	Yes, I really had better! If you'll excuse me!
	Phew... That was a shock! I sure hope March doesn't get her head chopped off for being late.
	That's an interesting hare. I'll want to get to know her better after this is over. Come on, [Player’s Name]. Let's move on.
	Was that person March Hare talked about really me...?

Fox, Doll and an Enchanting Dance

Speaker	Dialogue
	Ah! There you are, Pipe Fox!
	Oh! It's Dancing Doll!
	Whoa! Is that your Christmas outfit? It's really cute.
	Hush! I don't want to talk about my outfit. Anyway, Pipe Fox. I heard you lost your memory?
	How did you know that...?
	Cu Sith told me. Apparently, you're a friend in need, so I came rushing out to find you. I actually had to leave a party to come.
	Oh, so that's what's up with that outfit!
	I said I didn't want to talk about my outfit! Anyway, I have a memory for Pipe Fox...
	Grooooooooooooowl!
	Waaah! Master, it's time for battle!
<Battle Scene>
	Well... That was some excitement. Okay. Let me talk about my memory of Pipe Fox now.
	I didn't even know you and Pipe Fox knew each other.
	Hee hee! We're pretty good friends! I am Pipe Fox's dance teacher.
	Dance? Pipe Fox?
	That's right. He's quite interested in dance, so he came to me to get some lessons. I saw a new side to him as he was concentrating so hard on learning the steps.
	Really?! You like to dance, Pipe Fox?
	Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't know any of this.
	Anyway, that's how we know each other. I really hope it will help him remember.
	So, what do you think, Pipe Fox?
	I have so many questions about who I really am...
	You're an amazing daemon who is kind of sweet!
	Sweet...? Anyway, it seems like my memory hasn't come back yet. Dancing Doll... Thank you.
	No problem. I'm sorry I couldn't help you get your memory back. When you do get it back, though, come and see me! I'll teach you my favorite dance.
	Thank you. I will.

Fox, Angel and the Mixer

Speaker	Dialogue
	Pipe Fox! I found you!
	Okay, who is it this time?
	Uh-oh. I think Pipe Fox is starting to get a little cranky.
	Hee hee! I'm Lustful Angel. I'm your friend, Pipe Fox. Cu Sith told me everything and I came running to find you. Oh, and look! You have a cute little bear with you, too!
	Huh? Master! There's a cybear right behind you!
	Gwooowl…
	Huh? This cybear looks like...it's in love...?!
	You can make even robots fall in love with you? Fascinating... I guess they don't call you Lustful Angel for nothing.
	That IS pretty impressive. No more cybears should attack us now...!
	Grooooooooooooowl! (Don't come near my angel! )
	Gaaah! It attacked!
	M-Master! There's only one thing to do!
<Battle Scene>
	Oh, my goodness! [Player’s Name], you're so strong!
	There's something about the way she talks that really grates on my nerves...
	Now, now. Anyway, Lustful Angel...
	You can just call me "Lustful"!
	Umm...okay. Lustful... You know Pipe Fox, I take it?
	Oh, right! Yes! Pipe Fox and I were supposed to go to a mixer together!
	Huh?
	A mixer?!
	You can still come, you know, even if you have lost your memory! Maybe your memory will come back while you're out having fun!
	Umm... Actually...
	Come on, Pipe Fox! Let's go have some fun!
	Please don't pull on my arm.
	Look... I really think you've got this wrong, Lustful.<
	Umm...what makes you say that?
	Pipe Fox told me once... He said he has zero interest in mixers.
	He was probably just saying that, because, the truth is, he really IS interested! (N.B.: This line should belong to Lustful Angel)
	Well, he certainly doesn't seem interested now. So maybe...
	Lustful, are you lying to us?
	Okay. You got me!
	I knew it... But why would you tell a lie like that?
	Because having a hottie like Pipe Fox at the mixer would ensure that it went really well! And I thought maybe it would end with a night in...if you know what I mean!
	A night in? Like with fast food and a movie?
	Mira, you're still such a kid.
	Wh-What do you mean?! What's wrong with fast food?!
	What in the world are you all talking about?
	Anyway, I guess this encounter didn't bring back Pipe Fox's memory, either. Let's go and find the next friend.
	All right. Come on, Pipe Fox.
	Mira... When you lose your memory, you can't even tell if people are lying about you...
	Poor Pipe Fox...
	Don't worry about it too much, Pipe Fox!
	Lustful! Why are you following us?!
	Well... This is a really beautiful group of people. I thought this would be more fun than the mixer.
	We're not doing this to have a good time, you know.
	That's okay. I'll have a good time for you! Don't you worry about a thing!
	Well, you'd better not get in our way!
	Come on, Master! Onward!

Deadlocked Investigation

Speaker	Dialogue
	We've visited a lot of people already...
	Pipe Fox. Are all of your friends characters like the ones we just met?
	Well, I...
	They're all really amazing! Even if they are a little eccentric...
	However, none of those spirits have jogged Pipe Fox's memory.
	.........
	Pipe Fox, don't look so down.
	Master is here for you, too. We'll find a way through this!
	Mira... [Player’s Name]...
	Grooooooooowl!
	Oh, no! It's another cybear! We won't let it touch Pipe Fox! Come on, Master. We need to fight it off.
<Battle Scene>
	Another battle over... Let's get on to the next place.
	.........
	Pipe Fox? Is everything okay?
	Mira... [Player’s Name]... Thank you for working so hard to bring my memory back. But I'm getting scared...
	Why are you scared?
	The more I find out, the more I realize I don't know myself. Everyone is talking about me, but it feels like they're talking about a total stranger... It makes me feel really...lonely...
	Pipe Fox…
	Does that mean you want to stop trying to recover your memory?
	No... That's not what I'm trying to say...
	Grooooooooooooowl!
	Whoa! Another cybear?!
	But it's not coming this way. It's going that way!
	That way? Where? Oh, no! Look!
	...!
	Is that Holly? Why are those cybears chasing her?!
	Holly! Over here! Run toward us!
	...!
	Huh?! She ran in the other direction?!
	Come on, Master! Let's go after her! We have to help Holly!

Christmas Chase

Speaker	Dialogue
	These cybears! There's just no end to them!
	Holly! Over here! You're in danger on your own!
	No! Don't come near me!
	Huh...?
	What are you saying?! They're going to kill you!
	Mira is right! Come over this way! Quick!
	No... I...
	Oh, no! She's gone again!
	Why would cybears be chasing Holly? Wait... Do you think something happened with the Time Patrol?
	Let's go after her, Pipe Fox!
	Y-Yes! Let's hurry!

Captive

Speaker	Dialogue
	There she is!
	Holly, we can help you!
	What? I already told you "no" once! Why are youー
	We're the ones who should be asking the questions! Why are you being chased by cybears?! Is it because of me?!
	N-No! It's just that I made a mistake...
	Grooooooooooooowl!
	Doesn't look like there's time to chat.
	gulp* [Player’s Name], please help me! We have to save Holly!
<Battle Scene>
	We did it! We defeated all of the cybears!
	But where did Holly go?
	I don't see her anywhere. Did she get away, or was she...?
	Why is she causing all this unnecessary trouble?
	.........
	Yikes! That cybear is still moving.
	Déjà Vu, wait! Something isn't right.
	Huh?
	"I have your friend." "If you want her back, come to the plaza in front of the train station."
	D-Did the cybear just say that?!
	That's Chronos's voice.
	Chronos?!
	"Pipe Fox, listen well." "You dared to invade my realm and steal my precious scepter!" "You shall pay for your crime against me—the great goddess of time, Chronos!"
	Ah! I know exactly how she's doing that! She adjusted the sound of the cybear's inner motor to make it sound like her voice andー
	Déjà Vu, how about you quiet down for a minute?
	"Pipe Fox. I will not tolerate what you did." "Your crime..." "...along with the things that you found out... I will bury away each of those memories of yours!"
	Is she done talking now?
	It would seem so, yes. "The things that you found out"? What could she have been talking about?
	She said the plaza in front of the train station, right? Well, I'm going there.
	Pipe Fox, you can't go alone! It's too dangerous!
	Master, let's go with him!

Amidst Forgotten Memories

Speaker	Dialogue
	With the cybears around we can't make very good progress.
	We'll have to defeat them all. Holly has been helping me out this whole time I had amnesia. No one could replace what she has been to me. I want to help her.
	Yes, of course! We have to save her! Master. We'll be facing the goddess of time, Chronos. This is going to be a tough fight, but I know we can do this!

Awakening

Speaker	Dialogue
	There she is! It's Holly!
	.........
	She's unconscious. Where's Chronos?
	I-I don't see her anywhere...
	"So you came after all..." "Pipe Fox. Now you can pay me backーwith your life!"
	Good luck trying to take it. But before we get to that, please release Holly. She has nothing to do with any of this.
	"She DOES have something to do with this."
	What...?
	"Holly... And Titor, and Déjà Vu, too."
	Huh?! M-Me, too?!
	"All of you gave cover to Pipe Fox and hindered me in my objective." "That is a major offense. You will all die here today."
	That's a bit much...
	[Player’s Name]! Mira! Please go help Holly!
	All right! Come on, Master. Let's go!
<Battle Scene>
	There are too many cybears!
	We're so close, but we can't get to Holly!
	Grooowl!
	Oh, no! That cybear is getting closer to her!
	Holly, wake up! Wake up!
	Pipe Fox...?
	Holly! Phew, you're conscious again!
	I'm so sorry, Pipe Fox...
	For what?
	All this happened to you because I invited you to join the Time Patrol...
	That's why you risked your life?!
	Of course... After all, we're friends.
	Ah!
	Growl!
	Another cybear! Holly, quick! Run!
	I can't get to her in time!
	Ah!
	Grooooooooooooowl!
	Enough! No mooooooooooore!!!
	Huh?! Wh-What's that blue light?
	.........
	The cybears stopped moving...? Could it be the light of the scepter?
	L-Look. Pipe Fox is holding the scepter in his right hand!
	Pipe Fox! You learned how to use the scepter!
	Pipe Fox?!
	Holly. Are you hurt?
	I-I'm fine. Thanks to you.
	What a relief. Let me tell you something now.
	Huh? Oh, my goodness!
	They're hugging! I have a feeling things are going to get fun... *wink*
	No way! You have the wrong idea!
	Holly. You don't need to feel responsible for any of this.
	But...if I hadn't invited you to join the Time Patrol, then none of this would have happened...
	That's not true.
	Huh...?
	Well, I'm the one who said I wanted to join the Time Patrol. That was my choice.
	What?
	I became part of the Time Patrol through your invitation but my own volition. That's why you don't need to feel responsible, not in the least.
	Pipe Fox, does this mean your memory is back...?
	I think so, yes. Wielding the scepter seems to have brought back my memory.
	Oh, I'm so glad! I really am!
	I'm also really glad that you're all right, Hollyー
	Grooooooooooooowl!
	Huh?! Pipe Fox, a cybear!
	Holly, look out!
	Aaagh!
	Ngh...! L-Let me go!
	No! Now Pipe Fox has been carried off by the cybears!
	Wh-What do we do now? It's all my fault...
	Don't worry! We'll save him! Let's go, everybody!
	.........
	Um, Déjà Vu? Are you all right?
	Hmm?! Oh, uh, of course. I'm ready to go. This scientific genius won't stop until she gets that fox back!

Twisted Truths

Speaker	Dialogue
	Please, please let Pipe Fox be okay!
	Holly. Pipe Fox is going to be okay. We have to believe that.
	Mira... You're right. I'll calm down now.
	Anyway, I wonder when Pipe Fox first entered the Time Patrol.
	Master, did you know he was part of the Time Patrol?
[Narrator]	You shake your head "no."
	He didn't tell anyone. Just around this time last year, I became friends with Pipe Fox and invited him to join. Since he's serious and has a strong sense of morals, I thought he'd make a wonderful member of the Time Patrol.
	I totally know what you mean! It's so much fun to take down such a rigid and formal person, isn't it?
	Huh? I-I don't know what you mean by "take down." Anyway, Pipe Fox really was a wonderful member, and he excelled at his work. Working hard for the world and for people, that's the main job of any spirit, he said.
	Oh, Pipe Fox...
	He even attracted Chronos's interest... She appreciated his work.
	Good ol' Pipe Fox. That sounds just like him.
	But then why would Pipe Fox steal the scepter from Chronos, who valued him so highly?
	Chronos mentioned that Pipe Fox found out something he wasn't supposed to know. Well, I can imagine a few potential situations, but to know for sure we'd have to ask him.
	.........
	You're right, John.
	We have to rescue Pipe Fox! Isn't that right, Master?

I’ll Be Back

Speaker	Dialogue
	Hm, we're not having much luck finding him...
	He definitely came this way. Let's stay calm and focused, and hurry onward!
	......... H-Hey! Wait a minute, you simple non-geniuses.
	Huh? What's the matter, Déjà Vu?
	W-Well... How do I put this? Are you planning to go fight Chronos now?
	Of course we are.
	We can't just let her kill Pipe Fox!
	I...I see. ...Oh, that reminds me! The scientific genius standing before your lucky eyes has some important research to attend to!
	You do?
	My research will fundamentally change the way people think! I, Déjà Vu, am the only one who could possibly perform this research!
	Um, Déjà Vu? What could this "research" possibly be?
	So! I'll be taking my leave!
	You're going to back out now?
	What a pity! It really is a shame, but no one else could possibly perform this research, so there's nothing I can do about it!
	I see. So you're just going to run away, is that it?
	I'm not "running away"!
	...Sure. Right. Sorry about that.
	I...I would never run away. Because I'm a genius! I'll be right back, as soon as my research is complete! Well, until then, do your best without me! Ha ha ha!
	Sh-She's gone... I wonder what that was all about.
	I, for one, am sort of attracted to that kind of cowardly character...
	N-Nobody asked you.
	Well, let's just leave her be. More importantly, we need to go after Pipe Fox!
	Yes, exactly. Let's keep moving.

Taking Back Pipe Fox

Speaker	Dialogue
	Oh!
	Grooowl!
	.........
	We found him! There's Pipe Fox!
	Grooooooooowl!
	Cybear, release Pipe Fox!
<Battle Scene>
	All right! We beat the cybear!
	Pipe Fox! Are you all right?!
	Holly...?! ...! The scepter! Where's the scepter?!
	Huh? Um, I don't see it anywhere...
	Oh, no! That cybear must have taken it! We have to get it back... Everyone, please help!
	Wh-What's so important about that specter, anyway?
	We can't let Chronos get her powers back. Chronos...plans to destroy this world!
	What...? WH-WHAAAAAAAT?!
	I'll explain more later! Right now, we have to get that scepter back before it falls into Chronos's hands!
	Okay! Master! Everybody! Full speed!

Friends Forever

Speaker	Dialogue
	Uh-oh!
	Grooowl! Grooooooooooooowl!
	How can there be so many cybears?!
	Hm. They're tightening their defenses... The scepter must be just ahead. I guess they're ready for an all-out battle!
	They won't hold us back! We'll soon put them to rout! Here we go, Master!
<Battle Scene>
	We finally got rid of the cybears. Come on, Master! Let's push on!
	Heh heh heh. Yes...
	Wh-What's with the big grin?! This is no time for playing around!
	Oh, sorry... It's just that, I'm glad.
	Glad?
	It sounds so much better now that you're saying "Master" again. Don't you agree, Master?
	Hmm?! Enough with that nonsense. Come on. We're going now, Mira! ...And Master.
	Hee hee! You're turning red, Pipe Fox!
	H-Holly, please don't tease me.
	Ooh, is it just me or is it getting steamy in here?!
	Cut it out! Come on! Hurry up and get running!

The Book of Time

Speaker	Dialogue
	Pipe Fox. Can I talk to you for a minute?
	What is it? We don't really have time to be standing around...
	It won't take long. If you can satisfy my curiosity, that is.
	C-Curiosity?
	Yes. I've been holding it back for so long, I can't take it anymore.
	Ooh! What's with the romantic talk all of a sudden?
	What did you mean about Chronos trying to destroy the world?
	Geez, that's what you wanted to talk about? You're so boring!
	Lustful Angel, you should just keep your lips zipped from now on.
	I don't know the details myself. But there's no mistake. I found some writing in her room that said as much.
	Was it written in some kind of important classified document?
	No, just her diary.
	Wait, what?
	She keeps a diary in one of those notebooks they make for kids.
	O-Okaaay... Well, let's not judge her for what she does in her spare time... But what exctly was written in there?
	She usually writes things like, "Dinner tonight was really good."
	She does?
	Or, "The sky was really beautiful," or "I woke up early today for once," or "Work keeps piling up!" Stuff like that.
	Pretty run-of-the-mill for a goddess!
	Then, one day she wrote, "I think I'll destroy the world sometime soon."
	So she goes from dinner to destroying the world?! W-Wait, don't you think that's just a joke or something?
	No, I think she was probably serious. She's been writing in that diary ever since the universe was created.
	In that case, she must have an awful lot of volumes by now.
	Apparently, she writes whatever happened and whatever she felt that day. Whether it's her boring daily routine or the end of the world...either way, it's all true.
	Th-Then...there's no chance it was a joke?
	I don't think so. Chronos really plans to destroy the world.
	I-I see. I believe you. Let's go, Master! We certainly can't let her destroy the world!

The Scepter of Time

Speaker	Dialogue
	Look, it's a cybear!
	Gr-Grooooowl!
	Is it just me, or is his body shining blue?
	The light of the scepter! He must be the one who ran off with it.
	All right! Now we can get it back!
	Finally! Let's go, Master!
<Battle Scene>
	Great job, Master. A great fight, just as I expected!
	Thank goodness. Now we'll be able to get the scepter back before it falls into Chronos's hands.
	Wait... Where did it go?
	Huh? I thought it rolled over there...
	.........
	Oh, no! It's Chronos!
	No! Chronos has the scepter again!
	At last I have my scepter back! With this, I can finally destroy the world.
	Sh-She's gone!
	Is she in some kind of hurry, or does she just not feel she has to bother with us?
	Could she be planning to destroy the world now?!
	Like, right now?!
	I won't let her! Master, after her!

Chronos, Goddess of Time

Speaker	Dialogue
	There she is!
	What a nuisance!
	Now! Grab the scepter!
	Grooooooooooooowl!
	Yikes! These cybears came bursting out of nowhere!
	When you're the goddess of time, I guess you can summon as many cybears as you want.
	Master! We have to defeat those cybears!
<Battle Scene>
	Can we handle this big of a group...?
	Of course we can. Our master isn't one to be daunted by enemies like these!
	Right. Of course you're right.
	Chronos, at least tell us why you want to destroy the world. As the goddess of time, you've been protecting the world for, well, forever, right?
	Precisely. That is precisely why I will destroy it!
	I don't follow.
	In the not so distant future, mankind will begin a war.
	A war?!
	A very harsh war. A war like the world has never seen, that involves both humans and spirits. In the end...the whole world will be destroyed.
	Wh-What?!
	And that is not all. The war will be so bad, so intense, that it will even affect other worlds.
	Other worlds... You mean parallel worlds that have branched off from our own?
	The war started in this world will hurt countless other worlds. So I must destroy this world before the war starts. If this world is going to be destroyed in the end anyway, then, in order to protect the other worlds, I should destroy this one in advance.
	So it's all to protect the other worlds...?
	Then...it's not really a bad thing, is it?
	It doesn't sound so bad when you put it like that, but still...
	First, I must go build up some power in the scepter. Please excuse me.
	Oh! Sh-She left!
	So what should we do? We should go after her...right?
	The answer is clear. Master, we have to go after her!

What to Protect?

Speaker	Dialogue
	She isn't easy to catch. She definitely came this way...but where did she go?
	We have to hurry. Before she destroys the world!
	But now I'm confused. Should we really stop her?
	Holly...?
	Oh! I-I'm sorry... Of course you're right. Destroying the world can't be a good thing...right?
	Of course not. That goes without saying.
	Right... I know. I know, but... I guess I should stop feeling like this...
	But you just can't help it, right?
	Huh?!
	Perfectly understandable. She said this world would be destroyed anyway, and it would create problems for other worlds, too. I'm sure Chronos knows what she's talking about. It's natural to feel confused.
	I...guess so. I just don't know. Suddenly, I just don't know what's right anymore... All I really care about is keeping Pipe Fox, Mira, and all my other friends safe... Do you think we're doing the right thing?
	I'm sorry. I don't care what's right or wrong, so it's all the same to me. I thought Mira would decide what to do.
	M-Me?
	People like you usually come up with the best solutions.
	Mira…
	U-Um, I think that...
	We don't know what exactly will happen in the future, so I am opposed to destroying the world in the present.
	But...the goddess of time said it will be destroyed in the future anyway.
	But maybe my master and all of us can do something to prevent that...
	All of us, together...
	Huh? Did I say something wrong?
	No... You're right. Nothing's been decided yet. I like your line of thinking.
	Really? Heh heh. I'm kind of embarrassed.
	Mira and Master are really great people.
	Yes, they are. I can understand why Pipe Fox loves you two so much.
	Pipe Fox does what, now?
	H-Holly! Do we have to talk about all this?!
	You don't need to be so embarrassed. It's a beautiful thing.
	E-Enough already! If this is settled, let's go on ahead!
	Yes, let's. It's going to be okay.
	Heh heh. I like the expression on your face right now, Holly.
	It's all thanks to you. Hmph... All right, everyone. Let's go! We must stop Chronos in order to save the world.

Nearing Destruction

Speaker	Dialogue
	All right! We beat the cybear!
	Great job, Master. Let's continue on...
	"It's hard to understand."
	Huh?! The cybear got back up after we beat him?!
	Is that Chronos?
	Chronos is speaking to us again through the cybear...
	"Are you really willing to hurt other worlds in order to save this one, a world that will be destroyed in the future anyway?" "Do you really think I will allow that kind of selfishness? "
	Selfishness? You're the one being selfish, Chronos.
	"I have no clue what you're talking about."
	The world isn't some silly little thing that you can destroy on a dogmatic whim. And the people living in this world aren't as small and helpless as you think. We will protect the future for ourselves.
	"...Well, just talking about it is pointless." "I'm doing some preparation in the center of town. If you want to stop me, then by all means feel free to join me!" "I'll crush your selfish illusions, as well as your life!"
	...I guess that's that.
	Okay. It's no use talking to her anymore. Everyone, let's get a move on! The final battle is at hand.

Among the Infinite Worlds of Time and Space

Speaker	Dialogue
[Narrator]	Rumble, rumble...
	What's that noise?! It sounds like an earthquake.
	It's a sign that Chronos is getting her powers worked up. Her powers are so great that they disturb the space-time continuum. Intriguing...
	This gentle rumbling actually feels rather pleasant...
	Ummm...
	Master, Mira. Almost time for the final battle.
	It sure is. I'm feeling kind of nervous.
	Fighting with the goddess of time... Isn't that a bit, I don't know, much? Oh, Mira. I knew you'd say something like that.
	I-Is that supposed to be a compliment?
	Of course it is. When I found out Chronos was trying to destroy the world, I...I got frightened. I know it's right to stop her. But we are facing someone who can control time. She seemed really impressive when I stood before her.
	Oh, come on. I would be trembling with fear if I were all alone.
	Really?
	Yes. But now I'm not scared or anything like that.
	Because my master, you, and everyone else is here with me.
	Well, well, Mira.
	You are quite an intriguing entity yourself.
	...Yeah, it's true. I feel stronger when I'm with you and Master, too. Both of you. Thank you so much for all your help up until now.
	Heh...Heh heh. It's embarrassing when you act so humble and respectful.
	Master. I... Master... ...No, wait. I'll tell you after the battle.
	Th-That's an interesting thing to say.
	It makes you fight harder when you have something to look forward to afterwards.
	Huh? Pipe Fox is always saying such suggestive things.
	Yeah, he is pretty amazing.
	*Cough, cough* All right, let's go! To protect our world, to protect the future!

Creating the Future

Speaker	Dialogue
	So this is the center of town...
	Wh-What in the world? There are cracks in the space-time continuum.
	So this is what Chronos's powers can do...
	Welcome! What was the hold up? I've been expecting you!
	There she is. Chronos, the goddess of time.
	We won't let you destroy our world.
	Th-That's right! We are going to stop you.
	Too bad. I told you. You're a little too late.
	Huh?
	I already gathered enough power in the scepter. With one shake of my stick, the world will be destroyed. There's no need to fight with me anymore.
	Y-You tricked us!
	What takes precedence is maintaining the order of all worlds. In order to do that, I must destroy one world.
	No... Absolutely not!
	Well, you're too late. All right, world. It's time for your demise.
	Uh-oh, the scepter isー
	It's shaking!
	AAAHHHH!
	Huh?!
	*gasp, gasp* I got it. (N.B.: This line should belong to Déjà Vu)
	I got the scepter!
	Déjà Vu?!
	Déjà Vu, why are you here...?
	Hmph! Because I made a promise to you simpletons! I said I'll be back as soon as I finish my research! Did you think a genius like me would just run away and never come back?! Don't be so stupid!
	Heh heh. Is it just me or are her legs shaking?
	Ha ha. They are indeed. I am...honored...to be your rival.
	Good one, Déjà Vu!
	Now all we have to do is stop Chronos!
	Do you really think we can?
[Narrator]	Rumble, rumble...
	Uh-oh!
	That one was powerful...even though she doesn't have the scepter anymore!
	She isn't joking around, is she...
	Come on out, boys!
	Grooooooooooooowl!
	Whoa! Now THAT is a lot of cybears! ...Um, this doesn't look too good.
	I will defeat you all, and then destroy the world. There will be no changes to what the goddess of time has planned.
	We won't let you do anything like that. We will create our own future.
	Yeah, what she said! Even if we are up against a goddess like you, we still won't lose!
	It's not usually in my nature to get so worked up about things. But still–– The world exists so that we can observe and examine it. I can't allow that to be taken away from me.
	I just came along with everyone for the ride... But if the world ends, then I won't be able to go on any more double dates, so I guess I'll help you fight Chronos, too.
	I-I'm not scared, not scared one little bit. Not scared at all... I am the greatest scientific genius in the world!
	Everyone's effort together will be enough to get this done!
	We won't lose, not even to the goddess of time!
	Fools... You will be annihilated, along with the rest of the world!
	Master...help me out. Here we go!
<Battle Scene>
	W-We did it... We beat the goddess of time!
	Y-Yay... I was terrified...
	Heh heh heh. In other words, there is nothing a scientific genius like me can't do!
	Ha ha... Maybe you're right.
	So, Titor. Will you finally recognize me as a genius now?
	"Finally"...? I recognized you as a rival a long time ago.
	You did...?
	But, this time, I am the loser in our rivalry. Seeing as how your heroic acts saved the world.
	Wh-Wha... I-I... I think that you are quite an amazing man, too, Titor.
	Well, well, well. I can see where this is leading!
	Erm! You perverted angel! Just go stand over there!
	Heh heh. This is love, isn't it? I sure am glad I came along with everyone today.
	Right... Those two make quite a pair.
	Holly, there's someone YOU make quite a pair with, too, though!
	Huh? I'm so busy with work, I don't really have time for...you know... There's no room for romance in my schedule right now.
	Ah, I see. Too bad, Pipe Fox...
[Narrator]	.........
	.........
	Chronos. Can you see what's going to happen in the future?
	No... That is completely beyond me.
	You humans and spirits are showing me more than I ever imagined possible. With that power, you can change anythingーeven the future. I learned that from you, Master.
	You...are a great master.
	Yeah. I'm proud of you, Master. Chronos. We and Master will show you that it's possible to avoid the destruction of the future. So...could you protect time? Just a little while longer?
	......... If there is anything you can do, then, by all means, try it. But if it ever looks like it is not possibleーeven in the slightestーI will be waving my scepter again.
	..Thank you.
[Narrator]	.........
	Master, take a look at this! There was a present from Santa here when I woke up! And also a letter from Holly.
	She wrote that, with the help of Pipe Fox and John Titor, they are now in the process of preventing the end of the world.
	And, the charges against Pipe Fox for stealing the scepter were dropped. What a relief!
	Oh, and one more thing. A letter from Pipe Fox. "Dear Master, I caused you a lot of trouble." "But all of this made me realize something." "I'm really glad that I became one of your spirits, Master." "I'm grateful that I was able to meet you in this world. Best wishes, Pipe Fox." That's all he wrote.
	I see... Master, that makes me realize... It's possible that we might not have ever met each other, depending on how things worked out.
	I'm glad that I became one of your spirits, too. I'm looking forward to all our future adventures. Anyway... Now it's time to open our presents from Santa!

The End.
