Tower of Mana
Kratos
Stop!
Lloyd
Kratos! Don't get in our way!
Kratos
Hear me out! The Derris-Kharlan core-system just finished calculating its answer.
If you form the pact with the Summon Spirit the protection around the Great Seed will be completely lost!
Yuan
And that's exactly what we desire!
Kratos
Don't you understand?! What you're hoping for will not happen!
Yuan
Silence! Do you think we'll pass up this opportunity?!
Lloyd! Leave him to me!
Go now! Form the Pact with the Summon Spirit of Light!

Yuan
...You did it!
Kratos
No!

Lloyd
What's happening?!
Zelos
Oh my g...
Genis
Is that...the Giant Kharlan Tree?
Colette
...That person...I feel like I've met her somewhere before.
Yuan
...Martel!
Raine
Martel? That woman about to be consumed by the tree is Martel?
Colette
She reminds me of someone. She reminds me of...
Yuan
Why would Martel reappear with that giant...grotesque tree?
Kratos
I was afraid this would happen...
Lloyd
What do you mean?
Kratos
Having just the stability afforded by the protection of the Summon Spirits the Great Seed has gone out of control.
Yuan
No!
The purpose of the Summon Spirits was to isolate the Great Seed from the outside world and prevent it from growing!
Kratos
That was only half of it.
The two worlds were forced out of phase by Yggdrasill.
They should have drifted apart from each other and have been consumed by the void.
But this was prevented from happening because the Great Seed
was placed in the center between the two worlds.
Yuan
I don't need a lecture from you to know that!
Kratos
The Great Seed is constantly being pulled upon from both worlds as they
try to separate from one another.
It's a miracle that this delicate balance held up for even this long.
Yuan
...Wait!
So the mana links served as a cage to contain the Great Seed in the space between the two worlds?
Is that what you're saying?
Kratos
Exactly. And because you provided the unstable Great Seed with mana.
It germinated in a twisted form and has gone out of control.
It's even engulfed Martel.
Lloyd
Who cares why this happened! I wanna know what's gonna happen it we can't stop this thing!
Yuan
...If what Kratos says is true, then Sylvarant will be consumed and destroyed by the Great Seed.
And it Sylvarant is destroyed.
Tethe'alla will be destroyed as well as it is linked by the Holy Ground of Kharlan and the Otherworldly Gate.
Presea
Then...everyone will die.
Kratos
Everyone except that twisted tree and the angels that live on Derris-Kharlan.
Genis
We have to do something!
Sheena
But what can we do?!
Regal
Yuan. How do you plan to rectify this situation?
Yuan
We can cut off the mana flow and stop the seed from receiving any more mana.
Kratos
But that won't subdue the Giant Tree. The process has already begun.
Zelos
Is the Giant Tree going crazy like that in Tethe'alla, too?
Kratos
Highly unlikely. Although I imagine they are feeling some effects, such as earthquakes.
Raine
...That makes sense. Because Colette activated the process of world regeneration the Summon Spirits of Sylvarant are now active.
Therefore the Giant Tree was drawn over here by Sylvatant's Summon Spirits.
Kratos
Correct. The Summon Spirits exchange their respective roles of yin and yang
each time a Chosen's quest for world regeneration succeeds.
Currently, the Summon Spirits of Sylvarant are carrying out the role of yang by providing the mana.
But because the Giant Tree has over-absordbed Sylvarant's mana, it has gone out of control.
Lloyd
...I that's the case, couldn't we neutralize it
by blasting it with the power of the opposing Summon Spirits?
Genis
...Whoa, Lloyd!! You actually understood what we were talking about?
Lloyd
Shut it, Genis! Professor once said that the negative and positive of a magnet neutralize each other.
This is kind of the same thing, right?
Raine
That's not quite right, Lloyd, but nonetheless it's a clever idea coming from you.
Sheena
Even if we did decide to try and set the Summon Spirits of Tethe'alla against it, how are we gonna go about ding that?
We can't get close to that crazy thing the way it is now.
Yuan
...The Mana Cannon.
Presea
Mana Cannon? That machine Rodyle was building?
Yuan
We were actually manipulating Rodyle into building that.
Before the mana links started to disappear, we planned to have Rodyle destroy the Tower of Salvation.
Kratos
So you're suggesting we feed the mana of Tethe'alla Summon Spirits into the Mana Cannon and fire it at the Giant Tree.
Hmm...I suppose there's no better option right now.
Raine
First we need to shut off the current flow of mana to the tree.
It'll be too late it the tree grows any longer.
Kratos
Then here's the plan.
Yuan. I'm going to pretend I don't know you've been working with or what you've been doing.
In exchange, you're going to order the Renegades to stop firing mana at the tree immediately.
Meanwhile, Lloyd's group will head for the Mana Cannon.
Yuan
...All right.
(Renegade)
It's not possible, sir!
Forcystus has executed our iselia ranch infiltration team!
Lloyd
What does that mean?
Yuan
...The iselia ranch is still operational.
We had people working undercover switch over the mana flow.
Zelos
In other words, we have to infiltrate the place right now and stop the flow.
Kratos
...Then I shall go.
Regal
You? Are you suggesting we should send you our enemy to do this by yourself?
Yuan
I'll send some of my man.
Kratos
Preparations for the Mana Cannon, the shutdown of the mana reactors throughout the world--
there are too many things we need the Renegades to do.
You don't have enough troops to do everything.
Lloyd
...I'll go.
Sheena
What are you saying?! We have to head for the Mana Cannon!
Lloyd
You and the Renegades can take care of the Mana Cannon.
Kratos and the rest of us will infiltrate the iselia ranch.
Fire the Mana Cannon when we give you the word.
You wouldn't be able to trust the signal if it came from Kratos alone, right?
Sheena
Well, that's true, but...
Kratos
...Is it about Chocolat?
Lloyd
Colette
That's right. Chocolat is held at the iselia ranch.
Lloyd you remembered your promise.
Yuan
All right. We'll leave it to you then. Don't let us down.
Lloyd
...Let's go, guys!
