The third chapter of Future Redeemed gives a proper introduction to a new ally, and sets up a familiar threat.
This page is divided into sections based on the Event Theater. Scenes not in the Event Theater (such as story quests, unvoiced dialogue, or field dialogue) are shown as italic headers and given unofficial titles.
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the entire plot of not only Xenoblade Chronicles 3, but also Xenoblade Chronicles, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and their respective extra stories.

What Choice?[edit]
Na'el
15 years ago feels like a dream now.
Like it was an eternity away...
You might never have to use those again.

You might never have to use those again.
Matthew
Now wouldn't that be amazing?
The Queen of Keves, though... She's still not free.
The Queen of Keves, though... She's still not free.
Na'el
What, you think our fight's still not over?
Can't things stay like this?
Can't things stay like this?
Matthew
The soldiers, they're still fighting.
Right this moment.
Right this moment.
Na'el
Personally...
If things could just stay this way... I'd be happy.

Matthew
You serious?
If Grandad could hear you, he'd lay you out flat.
If Grandad could hear you, he'd lay you out flat.
Na'el
Yeah, I know what he'd say. "The soldiers are the roots from which we grew."
But still...we are who we are, right?
And them and the Moebius, they're a whole different story.
No reason we can't coexist...
But still...we are who we are, right?
And them and the Moebius, they're a whole different story.
No reason we can't coexist...
Matthew
Nah, don't gimme that. Come on!
Na'el
There's no need to fight if we just stay out of each other's way.
It's worked out fine for the past 15 years.
I guess for you... it's all or nothing, huh?

Huh?
Na'el
Those children are everything to me, you know.
...What choice have I got?

Rex
Leave it to Uncle Rex.
I'll show 'em a thing or three!

You OK?
Nikol
Y-yeah...
Matthew
Can you stand?
Nikol, ready to fight?
You too, Glim! Hup-hup!
Nikol, ready to fight?
You too, Glim! Hup-hup!
Glimmer
Huh?
Matthew
There'll be time for thinking later.
For now...
It's down to brass tacks!

Reunion[edit]
Rex
I get it.
So that's his game, is it?
I'll take the one on the left!
Shulk, you take the right!

Shulk
Sure thing!
Rex
And as for you!
Kiddo!
Kiddo!
Matthew
Eh?
Oi, who you calling "kiddo"?

Rex
You take out the Moebius!
All in sync!
All in sync!
Matthew
Whuh? In sync?!
Rex
Let's go!
Matthew
Hey!
The hell...
...Tch.
I better hop to it then!
The hell...
...Tch.

Moebius W
You're getting on my nerves! Piss off!
My...my Ferronises...
My pretties... My fused friends!
All my work ruined!!!
My...my Ferronises...
My pretties... My fused friends!
All my work ruined!!!
Rex
Phew...
He gave us a hard time.
He gave us a hard time.
Shulk
Nice timing there, Rex.
Thanks for that.
Thanks for that.
Rex
Everyone knows the real hero steps up in the third act!
Still, something's off here.
Still, something's off here.
Shulk
Mm. Double the Flame Clock...
Rex
...But no soldiers in sight.
Linka
...There has to be more to it, Boss.
Shulk
I've heard a rumor...
About how one of the Moebius likes to create all kinds of experimental Flame Clocks.
About how one of the Moebius likes to create all kinds of experimental Flame Clocks.
Rex
Linka, mind looking into that for me?
Linka
I can do that.
I'll dispatch a platoon, we'll see if they can get a handle on it.

Rex
Lovely.
Rex
Arright, so?
Who's this then?
Who's this then?
Shulk
City refugee, it seems.
Rex
Well!
That explains the Ouroboros power.
And this soldier?
Who released him?
Huh.
My day keeps getting better.
To business. Tell me, Shulk... How'd Moebius get the jump on you?

Huh.
My day keeps getting better.

Panacea
Cause of her.
Glimmer
(offended breath)
Panacea
We'd meant to protect her, but she went and gave away our position.
Glimmer
Uh-!
Rex
Hang on...
You wanted to get back to your friends, huh?
Even if it meant getting us all killed.
You wanted to get back to your friends, huh?
Even if it meant getting us all killed.
Glimmer
(small breath...) No!
Rex
Don't try to play the innocent with me.
You were well aware of the consequences.
But you decided to ignore that inconvenient fact.

Glimmer
Enough... Stop.
I am *not* letting the enemy get into my head!
I am *not* letting the enemy get into my head!
Panacea
Manners...!
Glimmer
I didn't ask for any of this!
It was almost time for my Homecoming!
My comrades and I... We made it all this way...
I fought...
so snuffing hard...
(weeping)

Rex
Listen. Two things.
First of all,
that there was your enemy.
And second...
Let it go.
Your friends are gone.

And second...
Let it go.
Your friends are gone.
Matthew
Ermmm, sooo...
What's the plan from here, then?
It's pretty clear you're not our enemies from the way stuff's panning out, but...
It's all a bit, "ehh", right?

Obviously we're teaming up, eh Matty?

Dillon
Ahahah!
That was about my reaction too.
Glad you're still with us, Matt.
That was about my reaction too.

Shulk
I'll set us up some tents.
We can all debrief each other there.

Matthew
Ohh, now we're talking.
Haven't slept under shelter for yonks.

Shulk
First light, we'll make a start for our base.
If it's all right with you, I'd feel a lot safer if we traveled together.

Matthew
I don't really mind...
Whatcha think?
...Awrite then.

Great to hear.
Matthew
So, what's this "base" thing?
And who are you guys? Feeling kinda lost here...

I'll tell you all about it on the way.
It's not like we're in any rush.

Right...
Yeah, I suppose that's true.

Shulk
Great.
Bound by Fate[edit]
Linka
That was harsh, Boss.
Rex
Hm?
Linka
You didn't have to talk to her like that.
Not cool.
Not cool.
Rex
Tell me something I don't know.
Linka
You don't want her with us, is that it?
I'm sure she'd see sense if you just gave her a chance.
What's the problem?
Is it because...it feels too close to home?

Rex
D'you always have to be right on the mark?
Very well spotted though, Linka.
Very well spotted though, Linka.
Linka
I knew it the moment I saw her. She looks like them...exactly.
Rex
I know, right?
Someday, I knew it'd happen, but...
Not exactly the best timing, is it...?
Someday, I knew it'd happen, but...
Not exactly the best timing, is it...?
Linka
It's the same deal with him, y'know.
Rex
What, Shulk? Really?
Linka
Really really. Panacea said she had a hunch.
Rex
Strike me...
I guess we're bound by fate. Like it was meant to be...

Nice gear you've got.
The joints move without a hitch,
and listen to the purr of that motor!

Nikol
...It's just a tool for destruction. Death.
Nothing...to be praised.

Shulk
Good point.
Whoa...!
That's an Equites pulse driver assembly!
No wonder it's so pleasing to the ear! And melded with a cylinder...?
Perfect soldering technique!

Nikol
Hey... Stop that...
Shulk
Did you make it yourself?
Nikol
Uh... Yeah...?
Well...
Well...
Shulk
I've always liked tinkering with machines, as well.
I can't help myself.
Uhm...
Earlier...
You tried to help us, right?
Using this.
I can't help myself.
Uhm...
Earlier...
You tried to help us, right?
Using this.
Nikol
Uhm...
Shulk
A tool is merely a tool.
It does as the user chooses.
Wouldn't you agree?
Be it to kill others, or to help them...

Your arm...
Shulk
A war wound. From way back when.
Then Riku here made me this one, but...

"But"...what, please?
Manner of expression seem pointed.

Shulk
I'm not saying it's bad!
It's not bad at all. Just a little squeaky.

Riku
That same as saying "bad".
Riku had to make from hodgepodge material. Do not nitpick.

Nikol
Hey, um...
Would you mind if I take a look?
...Thought so.
Here. You're missing a shim between these bits.
That'll be why it creaks.
Hang on. I should have one here somewhere...

I won't run away again.

Nikol
...I, uh...
I think it was good...what happened.

Glimmer
Huh?
Nikol
Fighting against you.
Glimmer
I don't understand.
Nikol
If we hadn't fought...
we wouldn't be here now like this.
we wouldn't be here now like this.
Glimmer
"Here" isn't exactly a sparking picnic.
Nikol
People...would bully me...
Glimmer
Wha?
Nikol
Cause...I can't summon a Blade.
Makes me...kinda useless.
...But all those bullies,
they're dead now.

Glimmer
Yeah? Well, good for you.
Bet that's a weight off y-

Nikol
Someone like me... How'd I survive?
Nobody else did...
...But now, I can make something of myself.
That's how it feels.
Honestly, just knowing who I'm meant to be fighting...
That's the biggest thing of all.

Another thing...I'm happy about.
Glimmer
Hm?
Nikol
Back then...
I'm glad I didn't have to kill you.
I'm glad I didn't have to kill you.
Glimmer
You have got to be joking.
A little squirt like you could never take *me* down.

Nikol
That day...
we became friends.

Glimmer
You're an idiot.
Wow...
Wow...
Matthew
Oi-oi!
Lovely morning today! Perfect weather.

A
Wrong.
This cloud cover practically guarantees rain.

Nikol

Glimmer
Hello...
Matthew
Whoa! Did I just hear a "hello" from you?!
What next, a rain of Brogs?
What next, a rain of Brogs?
A
Plain rain's bad enough.
Matthew
Damn, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were warming up to me.
Glimmer
I was forgetting the real idiot among us.
Matthew
There you go!
It's cool. This is progress!
It's cool. This is progress!
Pioneers[edit]
Chyra
Na'el!
Na'el
Mm, you smell nice.
Guess I won't see you for a while...

Chyra
Come and visit!
Na'el
Yeah.
I will, I promise.
I will, I promise.
Chyra
I wanna hear you play again!
Na'el
Without a piano? Tricky...
Chyra
Then bring one with you!
Na'el
Uhh...
Matthew
We'll all miss you guys.
Chyra's Dad
It's been a long time coming. Place is full up.
Matthew
Don't forget to call us, soon as you arrive.
Chyra's Dad
Yeah.
A second City... We'll make it greater than you can ever imagine.
A second City... We'll make it greater than you can ever imagine.

Them's fighting words.
Chyra's Dad
Ahahah!
Chyra

Remember your promise!

Colony 9[edit]
Matthew
This it...?
Shulk
Yes. The Liberators' base of operations.
All the City survivors we find, we keep safe here.

A Way to Live[edit]
Panacea
What? Never seen a field?
Matthew
No...
Those guys... They're Kevesi and Agnian soldiers, aren't they?

Doesn't look like they died in combat...
All the husks around here are whip-thin.

Female City Soldier
You think they starved...?
Matthew
...Maybe.
Female City Soldier
With this much wildlife around, though?
Matthew
Most things around these parts are poisonous.
Not really edible.
Not really edible.
Male City Soldier
Well...there's Castle supplies. Don't they get those?
Na'el
You think they got raided, maybe?
Matthew
Doubt it. Enemies woulda mopped 'em up.
No sign of Blade wounds.
For whatever reason, intentional or not...
These people...were abandoned.

Na'el
Local fauna aside...with this much fresh water, they could have easily farmed.
There's so many ways they could've kept themselves alive...!

Matthew
Thing is, though, fighting's all these guys know.
Na'el
Yeah, but...
Matthew
You know they're not like us.
Nobody taught them what could be...

Linka
It's not as simple as: plant some seeds, wait for the harvest.
We're teaching them the ins and outs, as you can see.
We're showing them there's more to life than battle.

Friendship[edit]
Matthew
...Right...
So you haven't seen Na'el...
So you haven't seen Na'el...
Dillon
I'm really sorry, Matthew.
It was hard enough for the six of us to escape.
But hey, it wasn't just our group. I hear Naomi's group made it out as well.
There's a chance...she's with them.

Matthew
Naomi?
Dillon
Seems Caleb tried to stop them, but they weren't able to hear him.
We think they were headed towards Fornis.
Except...he said he was too far away to see who was actually with her.

Dillon
This is Na'el, though.
Bet she's with them, A-OK.
She's like you, mate. Hard as nails and twice as tough.

Uh-huh...
Rex
You've got it so much easier, you know.
At least yours is well-behaved.
At least yours is well-behaved.
Shulk
You're jealous?
That's a surprise.
That's a surprise.
Rex
That's not what I mean.
Shulk
Nothing about this is easy.
There's this awkward distance between us.
I'm just lucky that things panned out this way.
There's this awkward distance between us.

Rex
Is that right?
Shulk
It's all about how to handle things in the moment.
That's the crux of it, or at least I think so.
That's the crux of it, or at least I think so.
Rex
Hrmm...
Shulk
You were independent from a young age, right?
Rex
Yeah... Well, apart from Gramps sticking to me like glue.
But I supported myself.
But I supported myself.
Shulk
That explains it, then.
The way you think of her, as being somehow different from you.
The paths you've walked are too unfamiliar.
No?
Try talking to her again...but be yourself.
Actually...
Perhaps she'll be the one who comes to you.

Liberator
Hey, Shulk! And Rex!
The search party's returned!
The search party's returned!
Shulk & Rex
(surprise)
Shulk
...You've not found a single person?
Liberator (High Entia)
There were clear signs of combat, that's it.
But...
As I've informed you, we've not been able to confirm any survivors.
There were no husks present either, so I'd expect it to have been monsters...

But even then...can't see the whole group croaking it.
Nagae's unit? Shoulda been the cream of the crop.
Nagae's unit? Shoulda been the cream of the crop.
Shulk
Mm...
Liberator (High Entia)
Any case, we brought back anything we could find on the scene.
Most objects belonged to the unit, but...there were also a few oddities.

Shulk
Namely?
Liberator (High Entia)
According to Carrom, things that may have potentially belonged to City refugees.
Matthew
Whuh...!
Ah...!
I know this!
Oi!
Where'd you find this?!
This belonged to Na'el!
Tell me!
Ah...!
I know this!
Oi!
Where'd you find this?!
This belonged to Na'el!
Tell me!
Liberator (High Entia)
Li-like I said, the location of the S.O.S.
Matthew
Is that true?!
You better not be lying!
You better not be lying!
A
Matthew.
Liberator (High Entia)
It is, I'm not.
It was with everything else, on the ground by a tree.

The Ragmos Desolation[edit]
Anguish[edit]
Panacea
No traces of Ouroboros power being used.
Linka
Plenty of footprints though.
Although, they seem to all be from search party boots.

Rex
Nothing else at all?
Gotta be some trace of the refugees.

Linka
Oh, there's something all right.
But it's weird.
But it's weird.
Shulk
Weird how?
Linka
There are tracks leading up to here, but... nothing to suggest that anyone left.
Rex
So do we think they were done in?
Uh, sorry.
Uh, sorry.
Citizens

Na'el
(despairing breath) Oh no...

Chyra...

Red-haired Kevesi
Heheheh...
See? What did I tell you? I was sure they'd show up.
Be sure to strip their corpses.
We'll be eating fine this week!

Na'el
Why...?
Why can't you just leave us the hell alone?!

Na'el
*Why* are we bringing those people with us?!
Soldiers
(soldiers, uneasy)
Matthew
Drop it, Na'el.
Na'el
Matthew...!
Matthew
You know why. Surely.
Na'el
Yeah, but...!
Matthew
Some of our folk were soldiers.
Spare a thought for them, yeah?
Spare a thought for them, yeah?
Na'el
...Makes no sense...
Matthew
Na'el...
Na'el
Haven't we done enough?!
We could've just kept to ourselves...
But we're still doing this! And now Chyra's dead!

Na'el? You here?
Why ya in the dark?

Go away...
With or without Moebius, nothing will change...
In the end...people always kill people...

Those soldiers were still part of the cycle.
I bet...they were controlled.

Na'el
Matthew... Always in fantasy land.
Matthew
What...?
Na'el
You can't keep every bloody person happy!
How can you not understand it's impossible?!
How can you not understand it's impossible?!
Matthew
The only true end is the moment you give up. Isn't that what Grandad taught us?
Na'el
...Then show me already!
This world of peace...where nobody has to die... Make it come true!
You think you can do that, do you?! You think you've got what it takes?!

You think you can do that, do you?! You think you've got what it takes?!
Matthew
I, I... (resigned sigh)
Na'el
Well, I don't... I'm barely holding on!
You hear me?!
You hear me?!
A
We can't yet be sure that she's dead.
Even the footprints. The search party's little skirmish could be wholly unrelated to this.

In my head, I get it, yeah.
Cept...in my heart of hearts...
(sigh) ...I bloody hate this.
Cept...in my heart of hearts...
(sigh) ...I bloody hate this.
A
You hate what?
Matthew
These stupid bodies we have.
If only we turned into husks, the same way that soldiers do...
But no, we vanish without a trace. No evidence, nothing.

You fellas?
Can I help you?

Rex
Food's up. Saved you some.
C'mon. Everyone's havin' a blast.
C'mon. Everyone's havin' a blast.
Matthew
I'm not depressed or anything.
Rex
Heh.
Oh, I know you're not.
That's not what I was implying.
Oh, I know you're not.
That's not what I was implying.
Shulk
We're having a...little shindig.
Sister[edit]
Shulk
Matthew...
I don't suppose you'd mind telling us?
About your sister...?
What happened to Na'el, and so on?
I wouldn't want to force you.

Matthew
Nah, it's fine...

Moebius...!
Na'el!
Grandad!

Grandad!!!

It's in your hands, Matthew!
Matthew
When I came to, I was all...cuts and bruises.
Back then, A was the one that nursed me back to life.
Found me while traveling, apparently by pure chance.

I see...
That's why...

It's not just that.
It's him, too...
The Moebius bastard...
I'll wring his neck with my bare hands.
I swear it...

You've hardly changed, to my eyes.
A
You're saying I'm like him?
No need to throw it in my face.

Shulk
So why do you look like that?
Rex
...Logos was the male persona.
And Pneuma the female one.
Ontos was meant to stand somewhere between.
Forming the Trinity Processor.
It all adds up to me.

I see...
Does Matthew know?
So, about you and Alpha... What happened?
How did you split apart?

...It was unforeseen.
For that Moebius and man... to have that kind of power.
To my fortune, it unshackled me.
From the chains of Ontos.

Chains?
A
As you may know...
And this is surely evident to you, Shulk...
But Origin... It's based upon the architecture of Ontos's core.

I heard about that from Melia.
A gift from Alvis, she called it.

Ontos was the arbiter...
and thus, was predicated on the existence,
or perhaps the opinions,
of the others, Logos and Pneuma.

In short...
Without the two of them present, Ontos was just a machine.

My original, he was shaped by Klaus,
and shouldered the man's regret, as he was born into that world.
Hence, he was able to help you.
But he is no longer...
The "me" that is left is just a machine.
And machines know no sympathy.
That's why...
he took steps...to erase this world.
To create a new future in its place.
Debris of the past, and the noise that permeates the present...
Your lives are to him...redundant.
His conclusion: that only new life, that of the people of the City, ought to be preserved.
Ontos proclaimed himself "Alpha", and chose to leave for a new world,
shepherding the Citizens along with him,
while erasing the old world in his wake...

However, N's intrusion caused something of a setback.
A
That is not all it did.
In any case, I was able to separate from Alpha.
The memories of traveling with you,
and all other faint recollections...
They compose me.
...You could call me his conscience.

Rex
...So, here's what this conscience or whatever is saying, then.
There's no life that deserves to be left behind.
All life is worth saving, more or less.

A
Yes, that's the gist of it.
I suspect that if Logos or Pneuma were here now, they would surely say the same thing.

Rex
Yeah, I bet.
A
So why tag along with the kid?
Shulk
You've good reason, don't you?
A
For Alpha to command some form of power in this world, he needs a body to inhabit.
Yes, like how Zanza once lived in you.
And Matthew's sister-

Wh-what's this?!
This wind...!

Nikol
Over by the lake!
Na'el
I've come to fetch you,
Matthew.
Come... It's time to go.
Matthew.
Come... It's time to go.
