Part 140: The End of Fyda and Royd (TW: death)

We're still at the airship, where Fyda and Royd look at the view. Fyda points out the big irony of the late scientist.



Fyda: "The greatest genius in history ends like that. Such is life...This ship will lose its balance and begin its descent."



:(

But Royd turns around.



There's a gull!



Fyda: "No...it can't be that simple." Of course, it's probably here for Ark, not for Fyda nor for Royd.

Fyda says we're 10,000 meters up in the air, noticing how hard the gull had to work to make it here...

Fyda: "Seeing as this one's alone, maybe the other gulls couldn't make it?"

Fyda and Royd turn to us.

Royd: "Hey Ark. You get on the gull." No...

Fyda: "Royd is right. We will do what we can here. People have been known to survive airplane crashes. Humans are made resilient!"

They block the passage into the airship.

Fyda tells us to take the gull and fly away...

Royd also says his farewell.





See you later, Fyda and Royd... :(

Part 139: Airship (4)

...then we hear the fireworks...

Royd: "Okay! All we have to do now is escape."



I knew it felt too easy since Beruga's very clever...

Royd notices his voice coming from the stern.



Beruga gives us his "remarkably well" grade for effort, and points out his occupation to science.



He knew this was going to happen.

Beruga: "They have jet nozzles on the soles to keep me airborne."



Beruga starts boasting.

Beruga: "Before I bid you farewell forever, let me tell you something amusing. Your stolen rocket belts? They are controlled by computer."

Oh no...



Beruga: "A world of eternal life is about to be born..."

The propeller behind him spins...



...sucking him in!

Beruga: "Aaaaahh!! Dark Gaia...Save m—"

Part 139: Airship (3)

Unfortunately, I'm at half health...

I recover and go aft.

I notice a trapdoor ahead at the lookout post...

We go back to lower decks, and move forward...

Two security drones patrolling the fifth console see us, but we take care of them quickly...

We plant bomb no. 5, and go portside, making our way back to the center of the airship again...

Passing through more mech walkers, and ascending to the upper decks, we find the last consoles...





That's all of them!

Heading to the tail of the airship, Fyda and Royd catch up with us!



Fyda asks if we planted all the bombs on the consoles.



Fyda sets them off!

Nothing's happening...

Part 139: Airship (2)

Inside again, we face off against more gunners...

We check the map once more, and go southwest...which leads to an empty balcony...

North and upstairs now...



Aside from the shaking of the airship, the view looks pretty nice...

I also noticed there are exit signs in the airship too...the details of this game are nice touches.

Going south, the HUD is off. It seems that there's no enemies in this part of the ship...



The map's not open either...

We go southwards, ending up at the tail end of the airship...



Now we move to the east wing of the airship, where Royd's standing near a computer. He tells us to plant a bomb in this console, then asks us a question...



Ark doesn't know. Neither do I...his answer after that is interesting.



We plant the second bomb and make our way to the northern parts of the airship...

We go up the central staircase, and find two more consoles...



Fyda: "We thought we cornered Beruga, but he escaped at the last instant. It doesn't matter. When we set these bombs, he's done."



Fyda mentioning "escape pods" and "rocket belts" means... I wonder if Beruga's trying to go to space...

Fyda: "Beruga should have no way out."

Fyda tells us to head for the stern after all the bombs have been set.

We put in bombs three and four and go outside to the center deck, where more gunners surround us!

Part 139: Airship (1)

We dash off to the east, and we end up near a huge hole. Maybe this was where Beruga's airship was parked...



We go north and jump down!

Inside, Fyda and Royd are there!



Fyda explains to Ark what the airship's computer does, telling us to find and shut down seven computers like these.

She gives us the tools we need to do that!

She wishes us luck...



Royd: "Leaping onto an airship lifting off takes some guts!"



Oh Royd...



No doubt...

They split up, and we go to the computer here...



I don't know whether Ark's in awe of the machine or not here, but he places a bomb in its spot.

Earlier while looking for a map of the tower, I noticed the airship had a map, so we check our position before going anywhere...



We're in the center of the ship...

The cannons here are untouchable!

Part 138: Beruga's Lab Tower (5)

We face off against more enemies: robot sentries in the next room, more spinning cubes, and more mech walkers as well...

The mech walkers drop a lot of money...

We're in another room with more levers to pull now. I wonder where Royd is?



Here he comes!

Royd puts out his "I wasn't expecting to help us" line, but he is.



He fires the cannon at the wall ahead!

He doesn't waste words, and tells us to go.

We gain a level after taking care of a sentry, and go up one more floor...

We take care of more mech walkers and go into another room where Meihou is...



Meihou: "Beruga is trying to escape on an airship. But the corridors to the airship have already been sealed."

What's our next move?

Meihou says we have to open the doors to the airship hangar since Beruga's getting away...

We grab the life boost near Meihou and leave. After using up the boost, we go to the room across the hall, where Meilin is.



We go back to the hall, and enter another room, where Perel is waiting.

Perel says that Meilin and Meihou are in the other rooms, waiting for us to get into position.

We dash to a switch room across Perel's room.



Meihou speaks to us by the PA system here, and we push the switch!

I go back to the rooms to see if we opened the doors, and for words of encouragement...

Part 138: Beruga's Lab Tower (4)

Okay, we're in the second floor of the tower...



And we get caught by a spinning cube!

Reading online, these cubes are huge xp farms!

We go downstairs and up again to face the cubes for round two before going west to the next room...



Fyda does not waste time for our next task.

Fyda: "Two levers must be operated at the same time to open [the] shutters ahead. You work that lever."

We go to the lever, and pull!

The shutters have opened, and Fyda leaves the scene...



These things must be the shutters Fyda was talking about...

Not knowing where to go next, we go north and back, then to a room with robots.

The second room we enter also has robots, so we make our way north, fighting more enemies...



Best not forget that Magirock at the catwalk...

I do like the design of the spiral stairs here...



The robot walker, however...

Part 138: Beruga's Lab Tower (3)

I check the map, but no map is displaying for this place.



Perel tells us Royd was operating the crane.

Ark: "I should've guessed from the rough handling. I had no idea being a hero involved this much pain..." Oh, Ark...

Perel tells us to keep the mood "upbeat."

I wonder if we've missed something from that area where Meilin was earlier...

I check for any map online for the lab tower, none.

Perel mentions a laser beam machine ahead. He explains Meihou's ability of foresight, telling us what would happen to us if we went forward from here. So he has a plan:





We hear battle noises...

And explosions...



It seems there were laser cannons ahead...and by the size of them, that was a close one!



He tells us to go ahead.

We dash past the gunners leaping about and head up the staircase...



I try to take care of the gunners, but I can't cross over the gap...

Part 138: Beruga's Lab Tower (2)

We talk to Meilin next. She's excited for this mission.



Ark: "Easy for you to say."

We go forward, but Meilin warns us not to abandon her, also mentioning a surveillance camera...oh no...I hope this isn't like Dragoon Castle...

Meilin goes on ahead to take care of the camera...

A while later...



We go in the next area, where we see the cameras looking straight ahead. I wonder what Meilin did?



She pulled one of her mirages again on the cameras...

We go forward, and notice a robot sentry patrolling the area past the gap. No, two sentries!

Meilin creates the illusion to distract the sentries and we go to the passage west of here...

It seems we ended up in the wrong place...





I almost thought the crane was going to drag us out of the tower!



We make it to where Perel is...

Part 138: Beruga's Lab Tower (1)

We meet up Meihou, Meilin, and Perel at the entrance of the tower.



Perel: "I've got Beruga’s number."

Meihou explains the situation to us. In the first sentence, I notice another typo from his name.



Meihou: "This is Beruga's lab tower. At its apex, he is doing abominable work. I get this feeling that Beruga is being controlled by someone."

I certainly have a feeling who that person is behind Beruga's...deeds.

Meihou: "He claimed he is resurrecting the world with someone underground. I don't know who that someone is. But we must stop the atrocities."



No pressure.

Meihou now takes action, and says that everyone is going to step in to help. He moves away, revealing our passage forward. Meihou and Perel, however, will enter through a back door...

Meihou: "Ark. I entrust you with Meilin's care."



Perel tells us not to slow down at this point...
