《Gensoukai: Tower of Druaga - Ruins》
Rutee: "...He's late."
Stahn: "Calm down, Rutee."
Stahn: "Late, late, late... It's only been 10 minutes since the agreed time..."
Rutee: "That's 10 minutes too many! To keep a lady waiting, the Golden Knight has shown his true colors!"
Stahn: "*sigh*..."
Stahn: "Ah, the Golden Knight!"
Rutee: "...Huh!?"
Rutee: "Oh, no, um... We just arrived too!"
Rutee: "Oh, I'm such an impatient person!"
Rutee: "Oho, ohohoho..."
Stahn: "......"
Rutee: "...Wait, huh? Nobody's there."
Rutee: "Stahn! You tricked me!"
Stahn: "Rutee, you're too easy to read..."
Stahn: "...Hm!?"
(3 Green Slimes appear)
Rutee: "Monsters!?"
Rutee: "...See? This is what happens when we dawdle around here! We get attacked by things like this!"
Stahn: "Instead of getting angry, shouldn't we do something about them?"
Rutee: "I know that without you telling me!"
Rutee: "So what if they're just slimes... I'll use them to relieve my stress!"
(Stahn and Rutee pair up)
[Stage Title card]
Stage Start!
vs Green Slime
Stahn & Rutee
Stahn: "...Could this thing possibly be... from the Tower of Druaga...?"
Rutee: "That's impossible. Slimes are just low-level monsters, you can find them anywhere."
Stahn: "...I'm probably overthinking it..."
After fighting a Green Slime
(3 Black Slimes appear)
Rutee: "There's more!?"
Stahn: "Black... slimes...!?"
Rutee: "How annoying. Stahn, let's take care of them all at once!"
Stahn: "Wait, Rutee!"
Stahn: "Black slimes... Could these possibly be...!"
(A motorcycle approaches, and Klonoa & Gantz appear)
Gantz: "Alright! We've arrived!"
Klonoa: "Whoa! We got here faster than I thought!"
Stahn: "Wh-who are you!?"
Rutee: "That outfit... Aren't you residents of Marvel Land?"
Gantz: "Huh? What's with you guys?"
Gantz: "Tch, if you're on a date, do it somewhere else."
Klonoa: "Stop it, Gantz. That's rude."
Rutee: "A-a-a date!? With this country bumpkin!?"
Stahn: "Hey, Rutee!"
Rutee: "What is it!?"
Stahn: "The slimes, the slimes!"
Klonoa: "Aren't we... jumping right into the middle of things?"
Klonoa: "Oh, how unusual! Black slimes!"
Gantz: "Tch, what a pain!"
Gantz: "Alright, Klonoa. Let's have a little fun until the 'Golden Knight' shows up."
Klonoa: "Wahoo! It's a warm-up!"
Rutee: "The Golden Knight!? Could it be... you guys too!?"
Klonoa: "Huh? What do you mean?"
Stahn: "We'll talk later, Rutee!"
Rutee: "Okay, I get it."
Rutee: "Why are you getting so worked up over just a few slimes..."
Stahn: (Black slimes... If the rumors are true, these monsters are...!)
3 enemies remain
Gantz: "That leaves three more."
Gantz: "Hey sis, you're pretty good!"
Rutee: "Of course I am. Who do you think I am?"
Stahn: "..."
Klonoa: "They're... really giving it their all over there."
Dymlos: "Stahn, this is bad."
Rutee: "Huh...?"
Stahn: "Yeah... I have a really bad feeling about this..."
Atwight: "Rutee, the space around here... seems to be subtly distorted."
Rutee: "Hey, what does that mean!?"
Klonoa: "...W-what... These people suddenly started talking to someone."
Gantz: "...Are they dangerous? It's like giving a knife to a madman."
Rutee: "Who are you calling dangerous!?"
Rutee: "The voices of the Swordians can only be heard by their users..."
Atwight: "Rutee! They're coming! Concentrate!"
(3 Blue Knights appear)
Stahn: "Blue Knights...!? Why are they here...?"
Dymlos: "Stahn, don't let your guard down! They're not human!"
Rutee: "What!?"
Klonoa: "...Acquaintances?"
Stahn: "No way. They're probably... no, definitely enemies...!"
Gantz: "Tch, compared to the main knight, these guys look pretty cheap."
Gantz: "And they're enemies too. ...Let's do this, Klonoa!"
Klonoa: "Alright!"
Stan: "Dymlos, these guys..."
Dymlos: "I don't want to think about it, but it seems that 'that demon'..."
All Blue Knights have acted
(Kurino Sandra and Sabine appear)
Kurino: "Those are Blue Knights... just as I thought."
Stahn: "Someone else came...!"
Rutee: "Golden armor...?"
Rutee: "A golden knight... that can't be right."
Kurino: "More people? Why are they here...?"
Sabine: "Should we take them all on, Crino?"
Kurino: "No, we can't do that, Sabine."
Kurino: "You guys, it's dangerous here! These guys are... undoubtedly minions of the demon king Druaga!"
Stahn: "...Just as I thought...!"
Gantz: "Who the hell are you, showing up outta the blue?"
Klonoa: "Gantz, Gantz! That person... it's Kurino! Kurino Sandra from Sandland!"
Rutee: "Huh? Who?"
Gantz: "What did you say...?"
Gantz: "...Wait, could it be!? The Maiden Knight... Valkyrie!"
Klonoa: "That's right! So cool! It's the real thing!"
Gantz: "The demon king Druaga, and the 'hero' Kurino...?"
Gantz: "Hey, hey... isn't this gettin' a little too big?"
Sabine: "...You're quite famous, Kurino."
Kurino: "It's Lady Valkyrie that's famous."
Kurino: "...From the looks of it, they seem to have weapons too. Let's cooperate and try to manage this."
Sabine: "Got it."
Rutee: "I don't know what's going on, but you're allies, right?"
Kurino: "Yes, I'll explain the details later."
Kurino: "For now, we can't let these guys get out of this area...!"
Stan: (The demon king Druaga... But he was supposed to have been defeated a few years ago...)
3 enemies remain
(Joka and 2 Moos appear)
Klonoa: "Phantom Beasts!? Why now of all times!"
??? "Oh my...? I came here thinking there was some trouble brewing..."
??? "It seems things have taken an unexpected turn."
Rutee: "Who are you?!"
??? "Excuse me... I apologize for the late introduction."
Joka: "I am Joker. Please remember me."
Joka: "...Although, I'm not sure if we'll ever meet again."
Kurino: "Are you the one controlling Druaga's subordinates?"
Joka: "...Oh? Oh my, oh my, oh my~?"
Joka: "Well, well, well, if it isn't Kurino Sandra."
Joka: "I see... Although they are low-ranking pawns of Lord Druaga... the reason for the struggle was you, wasn't it?"
Stahn: (Lord Druaga...!?)
Dymlos: "Stan, did you hear that?"
Stahn: "Yeah, Lord Druaga... that's what he said."
Stahn: "...Which means..."
Klonoa: "He respects Druaga... is that it?"
Gantz: "Wrong! It means Druaga is alive!"
Joka: "Correct."
Joka: "That little one over there is... well, but the one with the sharp, mean-looking eyes is quite handsome."
Gantz: "You're not complimenting me, are you?"
Joka: "Nohohohoho."
Joka: "...But, you'll be a hindrance to the 'plan' that's about to begin."
Rutee: "'Plan'...?! What is it?!"
Rutee: "...Aha, I understand."
Rutee: "You're planning to use the name of a powerful demon to do whatever you want, aren't you?"
Rutee: "The story about Druaga being alive is suspicious too."
Joka: "Hmmmm! So close!"
Joka: "But, I can't tell you any more than that, unfortunately."
??? "I'd like to know as a parting gift."
Kurino: "......!!"
Joka: "Hmm... that's right. Either way, you're all going to disappear here..."
Joka: "A parting gift... that has a nice ring to it."
??? "He should have been banished to the 'Rift of Time'."
Joka: "Exactly! But the door to the 'Rift of Time' has opened..."
Joka: "...Wait, hold on a second!"
Joka: "Why do you know that!?"
(Gilgamesh & Ki appear)
??? "So the 'Rift of Time' has been opened after all."
[Image: Key of Time]
??? "Gil, the one who stole the 'Key of Time' again... It's him after all..."
Rutee: "That person...!"
Kurino: "The 'Golden Knight' who once defeated Druaga..."
Stahn: "Gilgamesh...!"
Joka: "M-Mmm... I heard you had already retired."
Gil: "As long as he exists... I'll be active my whole life."
Gil: "Thanks to your words, I have a pretty good idea of what happened in this incident."
Ki: "Thank you, Mr. Clown."
Joka: "Mukiii! What a leading question! How cowardly! How shameless!"
Joka: "...If that's the case, my pride won't allow it! I'll beat you to a pulp right here and now!"
Sabine: "...He's completely lost it."
Klonoa: "Hehe! I was planning to beat him up from the start anyway, so this makes things easier!"
Gil: "By the way, who are you all...?"
Kurino: "We're allies, Knight Gilgamesh."
Ki: "You... you're Kurino, right?"
Ki: "I've heard about you from Lady Ishtar."
Kurino: "..."
Joka: "Now then, let's get the show on the road!"
Stahn: "Here he comes!"
vs Blue Knight
Stahn & Rutee
Stahn: "A Blue Knight of Druaga...!?"
Rutee: "Don't be scared, Stan!"
Rutee: "Let's go!"
Kurino Sandra & Sabine
Sabine: "A Knight of Druaga..."
Kurino: "Among them, the weakest is the Blue Knight... But we can't let our guard down, Sabine."
Gilgamesh & Ki
Gil: "...A Blue Knight, huh?"
Ki: "Gil, don't let your guard down."
Gil: "I know, Ki."
Gil: "The enemy isn't serious yet... We can't lose."
vs Moo
Klonoa & Gantz
Klonoa: "It's a Moo! What's it doing in a place like this!?"
Gantz: "That clown bastard... He might be the head of the Phantom Beasts."
vs. Joka
Stahn & Rutee
Stahn: "This guy, with his insolent attitude!"
Rutee: "Can't you do something about that smirking face!?"
Joka: "Hehe, it's just how I'm born."
Joka: "Can't you do something about your temper either?"
Joka: "...Are you frustrated? Hehehe."
Rutee: "Shut up! It's just how I am!"
Klonoa & Gantz
Joka: "Oh my, who are you two?"
Gantz: "Just passing bounty hunters."
Joka: "Regarding this matter... if you get involved lightly, you'll regret it."
Klonoa: "What are you talking about! We'll give it our all!"
Kurino Sandra & Sabine
Joka: "To meet you here... well, what an honor."
Kurino: "........."
Joka: "I don't see the beautiful 'Maiden Knight' around..."
Joka: "Could it be that she dislikes you?"
Kurino: "...Maybe."
Kurino: "Even so, I have to go to her side."
Kurino: "If you get in my way... I won't show any mercy."
Gilgamesh & Ki
Joka: "Nohohoho."
Joka: "No matter how much of a 'Golden Knight' you are, you're just a figure of the past..."
Joka: "Your name is just walking around on its own, that's all."
Ki: "That's not true! What do you know about Gil...!"
Gil: "You can't be intimidated by your opponent before you even cross swords, Ki."
Gil: "Especially a clown, that's their job... right?"
Joka: "I see... It seems you're not easy to deal with. You're indeed a most difficult customer."
Joka: "Well then, let's see what you can do...!"
At 50% or less HP
Joka: "Oh my, oh my... I never imagined you people were so capable... That was a miscalculation."
Joka: "And with the Golden Knight returning as well... Well, well, it's all over now."
Sabine: "...You talk big for someone who's just observing."
Joka: "Now, whatever could you be talking about?"
Joka: "Well then, everyone, adio-..."
Gil: "...I want you to give Druaga a message."
Gil: "Just you wait."
Joka: "........."
Joka: "...Very well. It seems we'll meet again."
Klonoa: "I don't want to meet you! You smirking clown!"
Joka: "Nohohohoho."
Joka: "Well then, a~dio~s!"
(Joka retreats)
All enemies defeated
Gil: "It seems everything is settled now."
Gil: "Hero Kurino, you..."
Kurino: "Golden Knight, Gilgamesh. I... I'm no longer a hero..."
Kurino: "Let's go, Sabine."
Sabine: "Hey, wait, Kurino!"
(Kurino & Sabine retreat)
Kai: "Wait! Mr. Kurino!"
Gil: "........."
Stahn: "Mr. Gilgamesh... I..."
Gil: "Just call me Gil, Stahn Aileron."
Rutee: "What business do you have with us...?"
[Image: Eye of God]
Gil: "Regarding the 'Eye of God'... I have some unfortunate news."
Stan: "The Eye of... God...!!"
[Location: Sky Temple]
Ki: "You can talk on the way, Gil. I'm going to the High Priestess."
Gil: "...That's right. Please do, Ki."
Gantz: "Tch, did we just stick our noses into something big?"
Gantz: "...I'm starting to feel like this isn't just about the bounty anymore."
Klonoa: "But..."
Klonoa: "It's getting interesting now, isn't it, Gantz?"
