Training[edit]
The camera pans just outside of the City. Matthew and Na'el are training their fighting stances while Ghondor watches intently, studying their technique. The siblings keep at it until they activate the Ouroboros power, their Irises glowing right before unleashing a blast of energy.
The siblings exhale, cooling off from the burst of power they unleashed.

Ghondor
(proud of his grandkids)
(proud of his grandkids)
Your power was expertly balanced.
Well done. You've both made great strides.
But a real battle is unlike anything else.
You can't just hope for the best.
Come at me...

Ghondor gets up from his chair and walks towards his grandchildren.

You can't just hope for the best.
Come at me...
You can't just hope for the best.
Come at me...
Ghondor signals for them to give all they've got. He's ready for a sparring match, and his fists glow accordingly.
Matthew's Promise[edit]
The last of the siblings' energy have been used up. Matthew gets knocked out after a punch from Ghondor, while Na'el is standing there, both of them exasperated and breathing heavily. The old man won, his arms crossed.
Ghondor
Well?
Matthew
(ow)
(ow)
"Well?" Don't gimme that!
That was cruel, Grandad.
That was cruel, Grandad.
Na'el
(oof)
(oof)
He's right.
Countering the moment we unleash our power's just rude![1]
Countering the moment we unleash our power's just rude![1]
Ghondor
When your concentration is lacking, the body and spirit drift apart.
Only when you've mastered the power of Ouroboros will you find balance...
Nay, you will become one with your very selves.
Only when you've mastered the power of Ouroboros will you find balance...
Nay, you will become one with your very selves.
Matthew
(annoyed)
(annoyed)
...Uh, so this incredible power of yours... Anyone ever actually been able to master it?
Ghondor
(looks to the ground in disappointment)
(looks to the ground in disappointment)
...Nay.
Na'el
Knew it...
Even you fell short, Grandad?
Even you fell short, Grandad?
Ghondor nods silently.
Ghondor
My parents, however... It is said that they were a breath away from success.
Na'el
The ones in the photo?
Matthew
Our great-grandad and grandma, right?
Matthew
That'll have been a proper while ago.
I bet that's why.
I bet that's why.
Matthew
(almost laughing)
(almost laughing)
Everyone in the City must think we're a bunch of clowns.
Na'el
Whuh? You think so?
Matthew
(still going at it...)
(still going at it...)
Yeah, like, "get with the times!"
We're stuck with these wibbly Ouroboros powers...
Everyone's rocking those sweet new amps. It really opens up the options for your Blade.
So yeah!
Nobody uses the Ouroboros stuff any more...

So yeah!

Ghondor stares at his grandson in a deadpan matter.
Ghondor
Nobody thinks we're clowns, Matthew.
Ghondor
(in a fake mocking tone)
(in a fake mocking tone)
"Woweeee. Those guys are some real sticklers for tradition, eh?"
Ghondor
That's about the extent of it.
Matthew
Yeah, but that's the same as calling us "clowns"!
Ghondor, somewhat disappointed, sighs.
Ghondor
(almost solemn)
(almost solemn)
It is not.
The very reason the City exists
is because those who gained the power of Ouroboros confronted Moebius long ago.
The very reason the City exists
is because those who gained the power of Ouroboros confronted Moebius long ago.
Na'el
And it's because of them that lots of soldiers were freed from the system, banded together...
and then founded the City... Right?
and then founded the City... Right?
Ghondor
(with a smile on his face)
(with a smile on his face)
Mm.
Na'el
We musta heard it dozens of times now.
Eh?
Eh?
Matthew
(in a joking tone)
(in a joking tone)
Other kids got lullabies...
Wish we could've traded places.
Wish we could've traded places.
Na'el chuckles. Ghondor, a little amused, smirks slightly.
Matthew
(now sad)
(now sad)
I haven't forgotten...
About how Mum and Dad...
died in the last battle against Moebius 15 years ago.

Na'el
Mm...
They gave us this. This time of peace we get to enjoy.
They gave us this. This time of peace we get to enjoy.
Ghondor
(determined)
(determined)
And you must never forget that, you hear me?
The only true end...is the moment that you give up.
The only true end...is the moment that you give up.
Matthew
Yeah.
Na'el chuckles. Ghondor, a little amused, smirks slightly.
A group of five children come running to the trio.
Children (In Unison)
Na'el!
Matthew
(in a joking tone)
(in a joking tone)
...Huh?
So much for our time of peace.
So much for our time of peace.
Child A
This is where you were!
Child B
Are you fighting with your grandad again?
Ghondor smiles, nodding.
Chyra
You can't do that!
Chyra
You promised! You said you'd play piano for us after the nap!
Na'el
Ah, sorry, of course.
I'll be with you in just a minute.
I'll be with you in just a minute.
Chyra
No, not a minute! Now!
Na'el
Urggh... Yes, all right.
I'm at your behest... (sigh)
I'm at your behest... (sigh)
Both Matthew and Ghondor nod, encouraging her to indulge the children. She starts walking off, with the children right beside her.
Na'el
What song would you like?
Child C
Child D
Child E
Na'el
*All* of them?
City Children (In Unison)
All of them![4]
Na'el
If I must.
From the top, then.
From the top, then.
City Children (In Unison)
Yaaaaay!
Matthew
You can relax.
I'm on it.
I'm on it.
Ghondor turns to Matthew. The scene pans out to the sky above the City.
Matthew
I'll protect her, I swear.
The scene cuts to black.
Nikol
*Ahem*...
Uhm...
Uhm...
Nikol wakes Matthew up from his beauty sleep from last chapter. Matthew doesn't seem to appreciate the gesture.
Matthew
Mm-hmm?
Nikol
Well... Um, sir...
Matthew
Matthew's fine.
Matthew stretches, preparing for the day to come.
Nikol
Matthew. She's gone.
Matthew
(too tired to process what's going on)
(too tired to process what's going on)
Huh?
Who's what now?
Who's what now?
A's there too, looking as annoyed at Matthew as usual.
Nikol
That girl...
The soldier from Agnus, Glimmer.
The soldier from Agnus, Glimmer.
Matthew's eyes jolt up, and so too does the rest of his body, as he finally processes the situation.
Matthew
(pissed off)
(pissed off)
...Seriously?!
The scene pans across the wreckage of the battle between Colonies 9 and Gamma. The trio are fully up now.
Matthew
...When did it happen?
A
(not even subtle about it)
(not even subtle about it)
It'll have been shortly before dawn...
Five o'clock, give or take.
Five o'clock, give or take.
Matthew
Oh yeah? Five, huh?
It takes Matthew a second to realize the implication of what A said.
Matthew
...Hey! You could've said something!
A
You would have stopped her.
Matthew
Well, no shit!
A
This is her personal matter.
Even the most impassioned speeches may fail to persuade.
Even the most impassioned speeches may fail to persuade.
Matthew
Sounds like loser talk.
A
(smug)
(smug)
I believe *you* said something to that effect.
Matthew
Uh, did not!
A
Did too.
Like yesterday. "I guess words aren't getting through to them." Eh?
You said it.
Like yesterday. "I guess words aren't getting through to them." Eh?
You said it.
Matthew
(defeated)
(defeated)
Uh... Let's just get going!
Nikol
But where to?
Matthew
After her, of course. Glimmer.
If she meets with a colony, she's stuffed.
If she meets with a colony, she's stuffed.
Nikol
Um... How stuffed, exactly?
Matthew
Might find out soon enough...
Er, but not if we can help it.
...We going or what?!
Er, but not if we can help it.
...We going or what?!
Matthew walks ahead without their input, ready to search for Glimmer. Nikol follows.
A
(sigh)
As per usual, A's the last one to go.
Aurora Shelf[edit]
All Up to You[edit]
Matthew
Boom!
A
"Boom"? Hardly.
That there...was what you'd call gratuitous.
The poor thing was within a cetri of its life.

Matthew
This old chestnut?
I was quick. We won't get rumbled.
I was quick. We won't get rumbled.
A
You're aware we took out two Moebius yesterday?
We could well be the targets of a manhunt as we speak.
We could well be the targets of a manhunt as we speak.
Matthew
Then we knock 'em down some more.
A
There's no guarantee that you'll keep winning.
Matthew
Nah, but *we* will.
A
Think back on what you know. Not all Moebius are like those two.
Matthew
What's up?
Nikol
No, nothing...
A
Do you have something to get off your chest?
You don't have to hold your tongue.
We were the ones who extricated you.
You may hold us fully accountable.
You don't have to hold your tongue.
We were the ones who extricated you.

Matthew
These gloves?
You want 'em?
You want 'em?
Nikol
No, not what I meant...
That Art... What was it?
That Art... What was it?
Matthew
Uh, which Art...?
Ohhh, you mean the Ouroboros power?
Is that it?
Ohhh, you mean the Ouroboros power?
Is that it?
Nikol
"Ouro-boros"...?
A
First time you've seen it.
Nothing weird about being curious.

Nikol
...It was just...wow.
Matthew
But hold on a mo'. You've got Blades and Arts too.
Pretty much the same thing.
Pretty much the same thing.
Nikol
Not me... I can't...
Matthew
Can't...what?
A
He means he can't summon a Blade.
Surely you must have realized given the way he's been fighting.
I hear it can be an issue with some soldiers.

Matthew
Uh, still, you know.
All part of life's rich tapestry.
No big deal, am I right?

No big deal, am I right?
Nikol
I couldn't take them...with these.
Not like you did. No way.
Not like you did. No way.
Matthew
I don't follow. Uh...
A
He's talking about us defeating the Moebius.
Matthew
Ohhh, now I get it.
Think you got it all wrong, though.
Think you got it all wrong, though.
Nikol
Wha...?
Matthew
You have it now. Inside you both.
This power.
Remember? Back when I freed you.
With a burst of light.
Anyone who gets touched by that light...
inherits the Ouroboros power.
That's the way we got it too.

Nikol
What, really...?
Matthew
Uh-huh.
With a little work, I'll be able to draw out its true power...
And then, in theory, I'll be able to free others without even having to destroy their Flame Clocks.
Well anyway, the rest's all up to you.
It's easy. You'll get the hang of it in no time.
Thing about Ouroboros power is,
it was created so we could smash up Moebius cores.

Nikol
And those are...what?
Matthew
Their shiny chest whatsits.
You destroy one and it takes 'em clean out.
See, my grandad's pops...
He used that power soon as it came to be,
and made it so that us City folk... would hand it down through the generations.

Matthew
Ohh, sorry...
Long story short...
All this business went down about 70 years ago, or thereabouts.

Nikol
Right...
Matthew
Hey, Nikol.
I'm gonna be...frank with you here.
Don't think yourself a burden, because you ain't one.
We've all got our strengths and weaknesses. No big deal.
Yeah?

Prediction[edit]
A
I'm quite surprised. He's more flexible than I thought.
He comprehends his situation, does his best to adapt.

Matthew
Oh yeah?
I find him kinda, I dunno, meek.
And he's not much of a chatty fella...

All in life's rich tapestry, no?
People are people.
Not everyone's going to have a personality as straightforward as yours.

A
No. Call it praise.
Anyway,
the real issue is our other friend.

I guess you..."foresaw" all this, didn't you? Right from the start?
A
Yes, but you needed to experience it.
I'll take the blame.

Matthew
...Ah, man.
Anyway.
We'd better go and find her.
Before the gal gets herself...

Glimmer
Uhh, no good...
Still a bit farther till comms range.
Volffs?!

New Soldiers[edit]
Glimmer
(sigh of relief)
Wh...what?
How did...?
Wh...what?
How did...?
Matthew
("And your Iris Clocks... They're gone, aren't they?")
("You're done.")
("No need to fight any more.")
("No need to take life, or fear its loss.")

Glimmer
No way... I-it's true...
Engines...
Levnises?
But they're...
not Kevesi Levnises.
What's that gear...?
From the City...like the ones we studied in the textbook?
(surprised gasp)

Male Liberator with Goggles
Ah-uh...
An Agnian soldier?

Female Liberator with Visor
Out here all alone, eh...?
Panacea
She's probably scouting out territory.
Glimmer
(cautious breath)
Panacea
We'll capture her for now, get her unit's location.
Don't wanna be getting into fights with colonies right now.

So she's out of the loop, huh...?
Female Liberator with Visor
Who could've done it...?

Strange...
Male Liberator (Machina)
Whaddya wanna do,
Shulk?
Shulk?
The camera pans upwards to reveal the unknown person speaking is Shulk, significantly aged from when he was last seen.
Traces of Battle[edit]
Matthew
Uh, A...
You're totally sure we're going the right way?
You're totally sure we're going the right way?
A
The region beyond here, it's under Agnian control.
If we posit she wanted to rejoin her people, there's a high chance she passed through here.

All right, I trust you...
Nikol
Ah...!
Matthew
Wassup?
A
Signs of battle.
Not a full-scale army engagement...
Something smaller...

There's a reading, but it's faint.

Definitely hers.
Matthew
So...she really was here.
A
No husk though.
It likely means...she was taken...

You think maybe she killed 'em all?
Unlike the soldier kids, we don't leave a trace after we kick the bucket.

That's not possible.
Given the evidence, they had the numerical advantage.

Right, OK...
So we follow 'em.
If it *is* survivors from the City, they might know...something about Na'el.

High Time for a Break[edit]
Matthew
A. High time for a break.
A
Got it.
Taking Flight[edit]
Nikol
(exhausted sigh)
Matthew
I feel kinda guilty.
For freeing you from the cycle like that.
For freeing you from the cycle like that.
Nikol
S'fine.
Matthew
No, but...
I just can't stand to see it.
You guys, fighting all the time.
You're not really great with strangers... are you, pal?
D'you wish you could go back to your colony?
I just can't stand to see it.
You guys, fighting all the time.

the same boat.

Well then, I guess that makes us friends, eh?

How she is...

Taking Flight[edit]
Shulk
Release her.
Panacea
Huh? But, Teacher!
Shulk
She's already been freed from the Flame Clock. And that makes her a friend.
Glimmer
"Friend"...?
Shulk
All right, then.
I'd like you to answer a few questions for me.
May I?
First we'll need your name, and the colony you belonged to.
...So your name is "Glimmer".
Colony Gamma. Assigned to the field support platoon, yes?
That's far.
Gamma's territory is nowhere near here.
So what are you doing out here all alone?
Tell me who destroyed it.

That isn't military intel.
Surely you could tell me that, no?

Glimmer
...Weirdos. Two of them.
Shulk
"Weirdos"?
Glimmer
They waded straight into our battle with Keves,
and then...
and then...
Panacea
And the Consuls?
You're saying they took out Moebius?
That's not too shabby.
Teacher's level.

What were these two like?
Glimmer
One had...silver hair. Blue garb.
Cut the Clock clean through with a red sword.

Shulk
Right...
And the other?

Glimmer
...Some guy, didn't seem too bright.
Black clothes, used knuckles.
He's the one that defeated the Consuls,
with the power of some weird light.

Dillon
Hang on a sec.
You're serious about that?
That guy. Did his hair...kinda look a bit like this?
It's Matthew. Has to be him.
That's mad. So he's still alive!

Shulk
Matthew, eh?
Dillon
Ah, yes.
He's a guy from the City.
We were in Procurement together. If someone's been beating up Moebius,
I can't think of anyone else but him.

Glimmer

Panacea
Quiet. Did I say you could ask questions?
Shulk
No, it's all right.
You're correct, we do have Citizens among us... but there's a bit more to it.
We are the Liberators.
We seek out survivors from the City.

Whoa...!
W-what the...?!

Nikol
Earthquake?
A
Wrong.
There's some kind of giant entity on the move.
...Over there.

Huh?
A Ferronis!
This late at night? Which colony is it?

It's odd.
It should have a crew of soldiers but doesn't.

Looks like it's heading to the east.
A
After it, Matthew.
Matthew
Yeah!
Panacea
We've been had, Teacher!
Shulk
Huh?
Panacea
The girl. She's snuck off!
Shulk
You're kidding...
The watch?
The watch?
Panacea
She knocked them clean out.
Nothing that'll leave a scar.
Nothing that'll leave a scar.
Shulk
Indeed...
Let's find her. She'll likely be heading for a colony.
They'll erase her on sight.

Told you we should've given her the full lowdown...
Told you we should've given her the full lowdown...
Shulk
I'm sorry.
I thought it'd be too much for her to take in.
I was hoping to ease her into it...
Ah!

Ah! Teacher!
Shulk
Well now... This isn't good.
Panacea, rouse the others now!
Ready for battle!

(panting)
Made it... (sigh of relief)
I... I'm Glimmer from Colony Gamma! I was a member of the field support platoon!
I lost my colony in the fight with Colony 5. I've been...reconnoitering solo!
Beyond here, there's a camp!
I...I'm telling you... I'm Glimmer...from Gamma!
I'm not your enemy!
Listen to me!

Consul W
Oh but you are, pet.
Glimmer
Huh...?
Consul W
Soldiers who've lost their Flame Clocks have outlived their purpose.
Glimmer
My...Lord Consul...!
Consul W
You wanna know why? Because you're no longer good for anything.

Then I suppose you were good for something...
But your fate is erasure.
G'night!

Consul W
Who're you...?
Shulk
This wasn't the compact...
Consul W
"Compact"?
Shulk
The one with Z.
We vowed a ceasefire. Not to interfere until matters were resolved.

Consul W
Ah yes.
I guess Lord Z did order us, not to get involved or some such...
But that was before...
Before two of my comrades were slain without remorse!

Sorry, man. Stealin' your show.

Oh, and he's Nikol.

Couldn't just let her split, y'know?

So this is the so-called "Ouroboros power"?
Now I see.
So that's how you were able to kill a Moebius, is it?

You ain't seen nothing yet, bub.
How about I give you a demo from up close?

Notes[edit]
- ↑ Gameplay-wise, the previous fight had Ghondor topple the siblings right before his health was drained. This line, as well as the start of this cutscene, paints a different picture.
- ↑ Child D unfortunately got the name wrong. It's actually "The Tomorrow With You", according to the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Original Soundtrack and all future releases of it. Not the biggest mistake, but worth pointing out.
- ↑ Child E got the name right, but not the punctuation (although she's speaking out loud, so if anyone, the screenwriter's to blame). It should be "Bringer of Chaos! Ultimate", not "Bringer of Chaos, Ultimate", according to the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Original Soundtrack, its future releases, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
- ↑ This scene has an error where there's only five children on-screen, yet there are six children speaking (Chyra and Children A-E).
