Irene:
-This is an urgent request from the council.
 A big earthquake was confirmed under the surface of Ragol.
 The size of this quake was similar in power to that of the explosion.
 An army research team was sent to Ragol to investigate the quake.
 But they haven't returned yet...
 The army quickly decided to send hunters to find the lost researchers.
 The council also decided to send Hunters.
 [NAME], we want you to go below the surface of Ragol.
 According to the lab, the epicenter is located far beneath the ruins.
 Rescue the research team and also report to us on the status of the area.
 ......
 This is a confidential mission.  Don't talk about it to anybody.

dialogue]

 We have a mission to complete!
 Right?
Takuya:

Takuya:
-Hey, wait!
 I'll do as the boss said... I'll put them away!

 Where am I...? I can't remember... We all fell down, and...
 [white fog envelops her]
 Yes...heard the voice... What?  Oh, yes...please take me back home...

Nadja:
-When we arrived here, there were no traces of the research team...
 One of us started acting strange... and we heard a voice...beneath us.
 Are you listening to me?
Voice:
-COME CLOSER... ...COME...I... EVOLVE... [white fog envelops Nadja again]

Nadja:
-But I hear nothing anymore.  Hey, are you really listening to me?

[approach Ash]
Ash:
-Who is it?  Are you from Pioneer 2?
 I'm Ash, a hunter! I'm here because the army was asking for help!
 [pauses]

 [earthquake]
 [Ash joins]

[kill all enemies in room]
Ash:
-You...!
 Hey, do you remember me? It's me, Ash!
 You saved me that time.
 I've trained myself to be tougher since then. Do I look different?
 [pauses]
 ...Are you... are you still normal? Huh?
 !!
 [earthquake]
 Here is... Hey, why are you here?
 The research team?  Oh, they were all killed. I found evidence of it.
 I saw a strange machine near the monument.  It's what caused the quake.
 If you're going there, let me go with you.
 I want to become strong like you.  You're my role model now.
 I want to prove to you that I'm better now. Let's go!

[enter monument room]
Ash:
-....

[arrive at warp leading to monument]
Ash:
-....

[arrive at monument]
[earthquake]
Ash:
-It's vibrating...
 Is it reacting to this monument?  I think these monsters are strange...
 The more that are killed, the stronger the next monsters become...
 It seems like something is controlling them.
 They just come at us as if they were soldiers ordered to do so...
 ......
 Yes... these unending monsters are fighting to protect something.
 Did this machine find something significant?
 ......

Narrator:
-It's not working...

 Was it examining this monument?
 Perhaps it happened to touch something sealed in this ruin...
 Earthquake, panicked guys, monsters...
 Anyway, let's copy the data and then turn it off.
Narrator:
-Got Monument Data!
 Machine stopped...
