Volume 2 - Tempest

Tempest

Act 1, Scene 1

Takes place after Breakout Arch. There is a terrible storm. Sparrow and the Ameyura are shown in ships, along with the Moresuke Villagers. Skip to morning. There are two ships wrecked on the shore of an island.

Sparrow: Did the others make it?

Atsura: I don't know...

Imeda: I see them in the distance!

Everyone looks, and sees the rest of the ships. They are damaged.

Sparrow: The ships looked pretty damaged. It may be a while before they're good enough to return, and get us.

Imeda: We should explore! Who knows what we could find here?! *runs off*

Sparrow: Imeda! Wait! *runs off*

Atsura: *looks at villagers* I guess we have to set up camp.

Scene 2

Shift to a part of the island.

Mysterious Woman: Canon!

Canon: *enter scene* Yes, Mirada?

Mirada (Mysterious Woman): Our visitors are here.

Canon: Already? Did you cause the storm last night?

Mirada: Of course not! It was, however, caused by the spirits I command.

Canon: Why?

Mirada: Because, there is a certain man on shore who wronged me many years ago... and the time for retribution has come. Aru, Edu, Oma! Canon, leave.

Canon leaves. Three spirits enter.

Aru: Aru, present!

Edu: Edu, present!

Oma: Oma, present!

Mirada: Oma, you will draw THAT man from his friends, and lead him to this place, but he must not arrive until night fall. Edu, you will lead Canon away until I call for you. Aru, you will bring Imeda here, but without Sparrow. You may need Guruto's aid.

Spirits: Yes, milady!

Scene 3

Scene change, to Sparrow and Imeda.

Sparrow: *huffing and puffing* Imeda, wait!

Imeda: Oh, sorry! *stops*

Sparrow: We, need, to, stay, together. *gasping for breath* Gosh, you run fast.

Imeda: This place is so beautiful...

Sparrow: Too bad we got lost in the tempest, this would be a nice place to visit on vacations.

Imeda: What about living here?

Sparrow: But how could we fight Irakura from here?

Imeda: You know... Irakura is not your entire life.

Sparrow: That's incorrect. My whole existence is to destroy the Prince.

Imeda: What about when you are finally victorious?

Sparrow: Then... I'll find a girl like Ekura, before she was a traitor, of course, and settle down, and live happily for the rest of my life.

Imeda: (secretly hurt when he says “a girl like Ekura”) Well... let's keep moving.

Sparrow: Hey what's that? *Aru laughs* Did you hear that?

Imeda: What are you talking about?

Sparrow: *Aru continues laughing* Someone's laughing. She sounds beautiful.

Imeda: Sounds beautiful? You are so shallow... I'll meet you back at shore... *leaves*

Sparrow: Imeda- *Aru's laughter drifts away* Wait! Where are you going? *chases sound*

Scene 4

Scene shifts to a deformed man.

Deformed Man: Curse Mirada! Curse her and Canon! I'd blast this island, my home, if only to destroy them!

Aru: *enters scene* Guruto.

Guruto (Deformed Man): Aru! I curse you as well! Servant of Mirada!

Aru: Would you spite the hand that taught you how to speak, the very hand that feeds you?

Guruto: I could get along well enough without her.

Aru: Nevertheless. You are her servant, and you must follow her orders.

Guruto: And if I don't want to?

Aru: Dog! *lightning crashes* Cur! *thunder booms* You blasted scourge! *landscape becomes hideous, cracks open in the ground and blast fire*

Guruto: *Very scared* Make it stop! Please, infernal witch!

Aru: Will you follow my orders, as Mirada's?!

Guruto: *trembling* Yes! Just make it stop!

Aru: Very well. *landscape becomes normal* You must... entertain... a guest for a little while.

Guruto: How?

Aru: Scare him back to his allies. Then escape him.

Guruto: It will be done... grudgingly.

Aru: What?! *landscape begins to morph*

Guruto: It will be done, quickly!

Aru: Very good.

Scene 5

Scene shifts to Edu.

Edu: Canon?

Canon: *enter scene* Yes? Edu?

Edu: Indeed. Your ears are well tuned.

Canon: Uh, thank you?

Edu: Come with me. There is something I wish to show you.

Canon: Very well.

Shift scene. Canon and Edu are at a waterfall.

Edu: Follow me Canon. *walks through waterfall*

Canon: There must be something back there... *follows*

Canon and Edu are in a cave behind the waterfall. The cave is filled with glowing crystals, of every color.

Canon: *gasp* It's beautiful...

Edu: *smiles*

Scene 6

Scene shifts to Oma. She is on the shore.

Oma: (hauntingly) Jakirusa...

Jakirusa: *looks up. Leaves crowd on beach* Who's there?

Oma: Jakirusa...

Jakirusa: Stop it!

Man on beach: (towards Jakirusa) Mayor?

Jakirusa: It's nothing! (whispers) Who's there? Stop it.

Oma: Jakirusa...

Jakirusa: Stop. Why are you doing this?!

Oma: *appears* Follow me and all will be revealed.

Jakirusa: *looks back*  Fine. But hurry.

Oma and Jakirusa leave.

Scene 7

Scene shifts to Aru, who is following Imeda.

Aru: *appears* Hello, maiden.

Imeda: *spins around* Who are you?! … what's your favorite color? Do you have any pets?

Aru: I am Aru, one of the lady Mirada's spirits. I was sent to bring you to Mirada. Sky blue, and no.

Imeda: Sure! She sounds nice!

Aru leads Imeda to Mirada.

Mirada: Good work, Aru! After tonight, you will be free, along with your sisters!

Imeda: Aru? You have sisters? Your a slave?!

Aru: I do have sisters, Edu and Oma. And we are not slaves, in the strict sense. We chose to serve lady Mirada after she freed us from our imprisonment within a crystal tree. Now, Mirada is freeing us for the rest of our lives.

Imeda: A crystal tree?! I want to draw one! Can I see it?

Mirada: Maybe later. But, first, there is someone I want you to meet. Edu!

Edu appears, with Canon in tow.

Canon: Mother? Wh- *sees Imeda* (stunned) Hello.

Imeda: Hi! Your pretty!

Canon: *blushes* Thank you. So are you.

Imeda: Aw, your so cute!

Canon: *intense blush*

Imeda: So, can I see the tree now?

Mirada: Canon, do you remember the cave Edu showed you?

Canon: Yes?

Mirada: Take Imeda there. The tree is in the very back, behind a hidden wall.

Canon: Yes mother. *blushing when Imeda is mentioned*

Imeda: Hey, come on, let's go! *drags Canon behind her*
