Granseal Field

After leaving Galam, the group is stopped by Galam forces outside the town's gate.

Another Galam Soldier walks onscreen.

Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
What's going on here?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Galam Archer
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
They're want to deliver a
package to the King Galam.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
They want to deliver a
package to the King.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The Galam Soldier points out that King Galam hasn't rescinded his orders yet.

Galam Soldier
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I'm go get the package
from them now.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I'll get the package from
them.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Slade
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I think we're trouble!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
I think we're in trouble!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The soldier approaches Bowie and Slade, and quickly realizes who they are. Seems that Galam soldiers are smarter than the ones in Granseal who fell for the whole "fake package" thing.

Galam Soldier
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Hey! Granseal spies are
here! Hey!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Hey, these are the Granseal
spies!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Slade
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Oops! We failed!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Oops! That didn't work!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Luckily, the force is better at fighting than deceiving, so they make quick work of their foes.

Granseal

Galam forces have already made their way through the town, leaving Granseal soldiers in their wake. Bowie looks in the town's jar depository and sees that one of the zoo's animals, a turtle-looking thing, has escaped. And he's terrified.

Blank.png April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
He is shivering.
Do you speak to him?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
He is shivering.
Will you name him?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

After naming the turtle-thing (hereafter referred to as Kiwi), he agrees to join the force!

Granseal Castle

Making their way past the ironclad corpses, the force encounters Astral talking to an obviously distraught Lemon, who won't let him pass through. Astral asks as to where King Galam is.

Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
He went into the tower,
Ground Seal, right?
Shut up!
I have to go!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
June Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
He went into the tower,
Ground Seal, right?
Be quiet!
I have to go!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
He went into the tower,
Ground Seal, right?
Then, I must go there!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Lemon
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Please do not move,
Or I have to defeat
you! Please!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Please don't move, or I'll
have to kill you! Please!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral asks Lemon to calm down, saying that he must have figured it out what's happened already.

Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
We did harm to Galam?
The King said so? If
it's true, we apologize!
But do you still
believe it true?
Then why did he...
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
We didn't attack Galam.
Your King lied!
We are allies.
Do you believe me?
We would never...
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Translation Notes
Astral is more forceful in the final English script.

Lemon refuses to believe this.

Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
You have to accept
the truth.
Your master is
possessed by a devil.
He is not King Galam!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
You have to believe me.
Your King is possessed
by a devil.
He is not King Galam!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Lemon
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
....!....
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
No!....
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Princess Elis screams from the top of the stairs! This is enough to provoke Astral to try to shove past Lemon.

Lemon
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Stop, Sir!
I can't pass you!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Stop, sir!
I can't let you pass!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral suggests that Lemon come with him, then. Lemon nods, and leads Astral to the tower. Astral tells the force to come along too.

The King and the Minister tag along with the gang, wanting to rescue Princess Elis and having nothing better to do, what with the war and all.

Ancient Tower

The force make their way to the massive central room of the Ancient Tower, where Astral and a freshly possessed King Galam square off. The Princess is held hostage behind the evil King. Galam sees King Granseal at the room's entrance.

Galam
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Give up now, King Granseal!
Do you want anothervict
im?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Give up now, King Granseal!
Do you want here to die?!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral and Galam talk some more trash, then they start charging into each other. They both fall over. Princess Elis tries to get away, but some of Galam's new, more demonic forces pop out of the ground. King Galam commands them to eat up the force(?!) before they get any closer.

The demons are no longer hungry. They're dead. Astral gets up and tries to get Princess Elis back, but King Galam gets up as well! The King and Minister approach Galam.

Galam
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Stay there! Or you'll
lose your beautiful
princess forever!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Stay there! Or she'll die!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

King Granseal demands that Galam leave the princess alone.

Minister
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Princess Elis...I'll save
you! Believe me!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Princess Elis...I'll save
you!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

No you won't. King Galam knocks both of them down with two fireballs.

Elis
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Father, father!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Father!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral asks what's in this tower, anyway. King Galam, having had enough of this chicanery, says he's going to open the door to the "Evil World", raising the Jewel of Evil up.
A giant hole opens up from the ceiling, and two clear tubes of light emerge and envelop the Princess and King Galam. The tubes start to rise up towards the Evil World's new entrance.
In the smartest plan ever, Astral and the Minister throw Bowie towards the tube carrying King Galam. Bowie attempts to get the Jewel of Evil off of Galam.

Elis
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Wow! Bowie's brave.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Wow! He's so brave. Hmmm...
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Bowie successfully steals the Jewel of Evil, which quickly fuses with the Jewel of Light. He loses his grips and falls off, and it's too late for the Princess. She's swallowed by the abyss.

Elis
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Father....
[Hero]...help....
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Father...
[Hero]...help meeeeee!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

King Galam, who's none too pleased by having his jewel stolen from him, falls in as well. Astral wonders why Bowie now has two jewels around his neck.

Blank.png April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
[Hero] explains
the reason why he has two
jewels around his neck
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
[Hero] explains
what happened.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral wonders whether the two jewels could solve this. Not for long though, because the entire tower begins to shake violently.

Minister
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Wow! It getting worse!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Wow! It's getting worse!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Minister
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
SSSSSir Astral!
What should we do?!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Sssiirrr Astral!
What should we do?!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral says to leave, obviously, and they'll come back with soldiers later to get Princess Elis. Poor King Granseal won't budge and has to be carried out of the room.

Granseal

Making their way through a quaking Granseal Castle, the party encounters the two soldiers guarding Granseal Castle.

Soldier
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
King! Sir Astral!
Are you all right?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Your majesty! Sir Astral!
Are you alright?
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral asks why they're still here, and the soldiers say there's a ship in the harbor waiting for them. And also that giant chasms are appearing all over town. Then a giant chasm appears right under them. Ouch, man.
They quickly board the ship at the harbor.

Old Man
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
King! Sir Astral!
Glad to see you again.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Sire! Sir Astral!
Glad to see you again.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The old man asks if they're ready to leave. Astral and Bowie agree, not waiting to fall into any ironic chasms.

Old Man
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Leave the port!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
Weigh anchor!
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

The Minister asks where they're headed.

Astral
April Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
That earthquake
must caused damage
all over the island.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png
Final Script
Shining2DialogueBoxTop.png
This earthquake must
have caused damaged all
over the island.
Shining2DialogueBoxBottom.png

Astral thinks, then decides to head east to the mainland. The King objects, saying they have to rescue Elis, but Astral informs him that it's too dangerous to stay here, what with the chasms and all.
The ship leaves to the east. The entire town of Granseal and its rich history are enveloped by a massive canyon, leaving the Ancient Tower the only structure left standing.

That Sega Guide isn't going to help you now, kid.

The typos of "suffured" and "Granseals" are present in both the June and final scripts.

The castle's treasure guard is good at his job.

This is the first of the English translators' attempts to inject more humor into the script.

A shopkeeper takes interest in Bowie's newly acquired jewel (no success in removing it, though)
