Namco × Capcom/Story/S7:Stage
《Shinkai: Sky Temple - High Priestess's Room》
Kurino: "Sabine, where are the High Priestess and the others?"
Sabine: "Zuhl took them further inside."
Sabine: "They'll probably do their job to justify the reward, so there's nothing to worry about."
Joka: "Sigh, what a pain. I wanted to get this over with quickly and easily."
Joka: "The people outside will come back."
Sabine: "It's not going to be that easy."
Joka: "No, no, I don't think so."
Joka: "You guys wouldn't be much help without the Maiden Knight."
Joka: "Nohohoho."
Sabine: "This guy... he's really annoying."
Kurino: "..."
Joka: "...And there wouldn't be a Maiden Knight without you guys."
Kurino: "What...?"
Joka: "Oh? You don't know?"
Joka: "It seems she went to 'Makai Village'? ...by herself."
Kurino: "Well, Makai Village...!? Something like that has... appeared again...!?"
Joka: "That's exactly what happened."
Joka: "But, seeing the new Makai Village, even the Maiden Knight had to turn tail and head home."
Joka: "I wasn't able to meet her... what a shame."
Kurino: "Lady Valkyrie..."
Sabine: "...Could it be that Valkyrie was trying to keep us... No, Kurino away from this turmoil..."
Kurino: "She's a kind person."
Kurino: "I think... she didn't want to get us involved."
Joka: "What are you whispering about?"
Joka: "There's more to this story, something like this."
(3 Dadattas and2 Robotians appear)
Kurino: "Huh?! This monster... is Zouna's?!"
Sabine: "Those guys we fought on the way here... Were they sent by you?"
Joka: "Nohoho, that's true."
Joka: "...I borrowed soldiers from Demon Lord Zouna."
Kurino: "From Zouna himself?! That's ridiculous!"
Sabine: "He's been resurrected...?!"
Sabine: "That's a bluff! Valkyrie...!"
Joka: "Nohohoho."
Joka: "Well, do you really think that's a bluff?"
Kurino: "...No, Druaga has been resurrected, and Makai Village has reappeared..."
Kurino: "The fact that Demon Lord Zouna, who was sent to the same 'Rift of Time,' is the only one who hasn't shown up... That's too convenient."
Joka: "As expected of a hero, Kurino! Your understanding is top notch."
Joka: "That's all I have to say. Well, I think it's time to say goodbye to you guys."
Joka: "If the Maiden Knight were to change her mind and team up with you guys again... it would be quite troublesome."
Sabine: "Come on, Kurino!"
Kurino: "...You called yourself Joka?"
Kurino: "I've made up my mind. No matter what anyone says, I will meet Lady Valkyrie."
Kurino: "Even if... even if she doesn't want it."
Kurino: "So... I'm not a 'hero' right now."
Kurino: "...I'm a 'rebel.'"

1 enemy defeated or Joka battles
Joka: "As expected, you're really good at it."
Sabine: "You have absolutely no sense of danger. ...You must have a hidden weapon, right?"
Kurino: "I bet you do. There's still some leeway."
Joka: "Well, then? Nohohoho."
(The door opens and Janga appears)
Janga: "Oh, it's started?"
Joka: "Oh?"
Sabine: "So you had a companion after all."
Kurino: "Huh? But... you're alone?"
Janga: "Huh? I thought there was no one here?"
(Janga moves next to Joker)
Joker: "Oh, you're back early, Janga-chan. How's it going?"
Janga: "Yeah, I guess so. Those guys from Busshitsukai... put up a resistance."
Joker: "So? You came back like this?"
Janga: "...Shut up."
Janga: "Two of those 'sacrifices' came together."
Janga: "Awful considerate of me, huh?"
Janga: "I bought you enough time, c'mon."
Sabine: "What are you talking about? From Busshitsukai...?"
Kurino: (Sacrifice...?)
Joker: "The sacrifices! Wow, what luck! It saves us the trouble of having to go out."
(Klonoa & Gantz)
Gantz: "Jangaaa!"
Klonoa: "High Priestess! Lolo!"
Joka: "Hey?"
Janga: "Tch, they're here already."
Joka: "So noisy. This ain't a children's playground, y'know?"
Klonoa: "Ahh! That clown!"
Gantz: "Janga... So you're teaming up with him!"
[Location: Tower of Druaga - Ruins]
Kurino: "You were... in the ruins of the Tower of Druaga..."
Klonoa: "H-hero Kurino?! Why are you here?!"
Klonoa: "Could it be... that you were protecting the High Priestess and Rolo?!"
Sabine: "It only turned out that way, though."
Kurino: "We were chasing Zouna's monsters."
Kurino: "We missed a few... were you fighting them?"
Klonoa: "What?! Those... were monsters of the Demon King Zouna?!"
Gantz: "Zouna...?"
Gantz: "Oh my god... This just keeps getting worse...!"
Janga: "It was your fault?"
Janga: "Only one Scissors came, and the others were completely destroyed!"
Joka: "Oh my goodness..."
Joka: "I guess I can't let you meet the Maiden Knight."
Janga: "Because of this guy, I'm being chased by those annoying brats! Dammit!"
Gantz: "Kurino's fault?"
Gantz: "Ha! It's because you're weak!"
Janga: "What? You brat..."
Joka: "Okay, okay, that's enough."
Joka: "...Hmm... I guess I've had too much fun."
Joka: "Let's settle this, Janga-chan."
Janga: "Hmph, no need to tell me twice."
Klonoa: "I won't let you go to Lolo and the others!"
Kurino: "Klonoa-kun, what about the denizens of... Busshitsukai outside?"
Klonoa: "Um, um... I'm sorry."
Klonoa: "Gantz ran off chasing this Janga guy..."
Kurino: "I see... No, shouldn't have gotten our hopes up."
Sabine: "...We don't need help from some unknown bunch."
6 actions taken
(Your team appears)
Kurino: "Enemy reinforcements...?!"
Fong Ling: "As I thought, they're already in battle!"
Bruce: "Tch, We've really been tricked."
Reiji: "Any casualties?! Were we too late?!"
Komu: "I don't know if it's too late or too early, but it seems that a commotion has definitely occurred."
Joka: "What!"
Joka: "When I heard that the sacrificial girls were coming, I wondered if it was you..."
Hideo: "I don't know any monsters."
Kyoko: "But Hideo-sensei... the word 'sacrifice'... That cat over there said it too."
Janga: "So they've all gathered here in the end. This is so troublesome..."
Wonder Momo: "That clown-like enemy... Is it really from that time...?"
[Location: Namco Theater]
KOS-MOS: "Yes. They appear to be the same beings we encountered in front of a facility called 'Namco Theater.'"
Shion: "Yeah...there's no way I could mistake something like that."
Klonoa: "...You know him?"
Bravoman: "Yes."
Bravoman: "But now, what Arisu-kun said about it being the 'enemy's base' seems even more plausible."
Sakura: "It seems so. ...Maybe they've come to capture us instead."
Kurino: "Klonoa-kun, are these people...from Busshitsukai?"
Klonoa: "That's right! They're a little strange, but they've become our allies."
Sabine: "...Are they really that strange?"
Karin: "Wait a moment. I don't want you guys to call me 'strange.'"
Felicia: "Yeah! Just say 'different,' alright?"
Hsien-Ko: "That's the same thing."
Regina: "That green creature... It's surely some kind of suit, isn't it?"
M.O.M.O.: "Um... I analyzed it, and seems to be a real creature..."
Kurino: "...?"
Xiaomu: "We've dealt with so many monsters, it's not surprising at this point."
Xiaomu: "Now now, let's just clearly distinguish between friend and foe."
King: "That's right. ...Are you our enemy? Or..."
Kurino: "I'm Kurino. The girl is Sabine."
Kurino: "If you're on Klonoa's side, then we're on your side too."
Reiji: "That's felicitous."
Reiji: "I see. Our circumstances may be different, but it seems we have a common enemy."
Gantz: "I guess that's what they call a long-lasting bond."
Gantz: "...But Janga, this spells disaster for you guys."
Janga: "This brat's gettin' too cocky..."
Joka: "Hmm, it looks like they've formed quite the coalition."
Joka: "Then let's increase our own forces as well."
(5 Skeleton Murderers and 6 Red Arremers appear)
Gantz: "This guy...! Just how many have he brought along?"
Klonoa: "I've never seen anything like this before..."
Jin: "Ugh, these demons...! Are you the leader of these guys!?"
Joka: "Hmm, "leader" isn't quite the right word."
Joka: "Well, let's just say we're involved."
Bruce: "Kazama, don't rush."
Bruce: "...That round thing and the monster cat... If we can capture either of them, we should be able to find out something."
Jin: "...Okay. I'll hurt them a bit, but I'll get them to talk."
Joka: "Oh, that's scary. ...But don't forget, I have girls I want to capture too."
Joka: "Let's fight over them, nohohoho."
Komu: "I don't know if they're sacrifices or sacred rice, but I won't let you have your way with them, okay?"
Komu: "One is a slightly rough fighting otaku who shines when polished!"
Komu: "The other is a cosplay otaku who's all the rage right now!"
Komu: "I won't give you either of them!"
Sakura: "Hey..."
Wonder Momo: "She's treating both of us like otaku..."
Reiji: "You can deal with her later."
Reiji: "Apparently, unless we get rid of those guys, we won't be able to meet the High Priestess."
Reiji: (...On the other hand, the High Priestess is still safe.)
vs Skeleton Murderer/Red Arremer
Jin
Jin: "That clown-like monster... is he connected to Kazuya Mishima?"

King & Felicia
King: "Demons... God, protect us."
Felicia: "That God asked us to..."

vs Janga
Klonoa & Gantz
Gantz: "Janga! You!"
Janga: "You... you're such a persistent brat, you know."
Gantz: "I won't forgive you... I won't forgive you!"
Janga: "Ooh, scary, scary."
Klonoa: "Calm down, Gantz! Something's not normal! Hey!"
Gantz: "Shut up! I'll crush you...Janga...!"
Sakura & Karin/Hideo & Kyoko
Karin: "Okay, I've cornered you. I'll turn you into shamisen strings!"
Kyoko: "Girls these days are pretty extreme..."
Janga: "She keeps pickin' on me!"
Sakura: "Of course! A monster cat that suddenly starts talking about being sacrificed has to be exterminated!"
Hideo: "This is also a teacher's job. You'll need to be prepared!"
KO
Janga: "Tsk! Annoying! You're making me mad! Bastards!"
Gantz: "This is the final blow, Janga!"
Janga: "That won't do! My revenge ain't over yet!"
Kurino: "You're running away!?"
Sabine: "It's better to get rid of guys like that. ...It'll just be a pain later, Kurino."
Janga: "Exactly! Remember that!"
(Janga retreats)
Gantz: "Wait! Wait!"
Klonoa: "Gantz! Don't chase them anymore! You can't leave Rolo and the High Priestess behind!"
Gantz: "Guh!"
Gantz: "...God dammit!"
vs Joka
Klonoa & Gantz/Kurino & Sabine
Joka: "You two have a fateful connection, don't you think?"
Joka: "The hero Kurino and... Can I call you Klonoa-chan?"
Klonoa: "Don't get chummy with me! I don't want to meet the likes of you!"
Kurino: "If this is what you call a bad relationship, I'd like to cut it off here and now."
Sabine: "Yeah, it's annoying."
Gantz: "If you cooperate with Janga, you're my enemy too. I won't show you any mercy...!"
Bravoman & Wonder Momo/Sakura & Karin
Joka: "Oh, my dear honeys! Did you come to see me?"
Joka: "You're so popular, nohohoho!"
Sakura: "Of course not!"
Wonder Momo: "If only you were a little cuter..."
Karin: "That's not the issue."
Bravoman: "No matter what the conditions, I can't hand you two over. I'll protect you...!"
Jin
Joker: "Huh? Oho... Could it be that you..."
Jin: "What are you trying to say? I have no intention of falling for your pointless provocation."
Joker: "No, no, I'm not sure yet."
Joker: "Hmm."
Jin: "No need to waste any more time."
Jin: "...Let me hear about the winged blue devil."
Joker: "..."
Joker: (He means "Mishima.")
Joker: (...But this man...)
Reiji & Xiaomu
Joker: "So you're the leader after all. Leading the group all the way out here, thank you for all your hard work."
Reiji: "You're right. It'd be less of a hassle if you'd just back off."
Xiaomu: "If you'd also show us the way home... I might fall in love with you."
Joker: "Oh dear, if you were a little rounder, I'd fall in love with you too."
Reiji: "...Xiaomu, can't you be rounder?"
Xiaomu: "It's hard enough to maintain this figure. Don't be so selfish!"
Xiaomu: "Besides, there's a limit to how round you can be, dummy."
KO
Joka: "Owowowow..."
Joka: "What a thing to do! I wonder if I've gone too far with my playfulness."
Jin: "Accept your fate."
Jin: "If you promise not to resist, I won't harm you any further."
Hideo: "That's right. We just have something we want to ask!"
Kurino: "Me too... About Lady Valkyrie."
Komu: "You're being bombarding with questions. You're practically like an idol."
Joka: "Well, that's very kind of you."
Joka: "But... that'll have to wait for another time."
Fong Ling: "What? Are you planning on running away again!?"
Joka: "Don't be rude. It's a strategic retreat."
Joka: "With the sacrificea in this world, we can always take action."
Joka: "Now then, adiooos!"
Bruce: "You son of a...! Wait!"
(Joka retreats)
(All remaining enemies retreat, except Janga if he's still present)
Reiji: "When it's time to retreat, let's retreat together. ...What a troublesome opponent."
Gantz: "But I won't let you get away, Janga!"
Janga: "Ugh, that bastard Joka...!"
Janga: "I'll play with you again, little Gantz!"
Gantz: "Wait!"
(Janga retreats)
Gantz: "Damn, that Janga... He got away again...!"
Jin: "In the end, both of them got away..."
Kyoko: "Kazama, you can't be impatient. ...As long as we're in this world, we'll meet again whether we like it or not."
Regina: "I agree. ...Will that noisy punk zombie show up soon?"
Hsien-Ko: "D-don't say such ominous things..."
Bravoman: "But we managed to repel the enemy and protect Momo and the others."
Bravoman: "Looks like we can at least take a breather."
Felicia: "I should have brought some lunch."
Felicia: "Oh, by the way, you brought lunch, Mr. Bravo, right?"
Reiji: "This is no time to relax."
Reiji: "I wonder if the High Priestess is really safe."
Kurino: "I think she's okay. Let's go further in."
KOS-MOS: "There are three vital signs. Their lives doesn't seem to be in any danger."
Shion: "Three?...Who else is there besides the High Priestess?"
Klonoa: "Oh, my childhood friend, Lolo..."
Sabine: "There's a merchant named Zuhl with them. He's a friend, so it's fine."
King: "Okay. Let's accomplish our goal now."
M.O.M.O.: "That's true... The enemy might come again..."
Xiaomu: "Right. Let's get this over with quickly."
Sakura: "Ah! That's right!"
Sakura: "Xiaomu-chan! ...Who said you were a rough fighting otaku?"
Wonder Momo: "Cosplay otaku... So you looked at me like that?"
Karin: "You laughed at my hairstyle once, too. ...Like a drill."
Xiaomu: "Huh... Oh, you remember."
Xiaomu: "...I mean, there are people who are bringing it up again and getting mad!"
Xiaomu: "C-Come on, Reiji! You have to say something too!"
Reiji: "I'm going to meet the High Priestess now."
Reiji: "If you're going to do this, please do it behind the school building."
Sakura: "Okay!"
Xiaomu: "W-wait a second! The school building?"
Xiaomu: "This kind of situation isn't even a junior high school anymore!"
