Colosseum

Colosseum Man: Hey, Okamoto. Looks like you brought your fighter, (hero). Don't go down too easy. The crowd'll get mad and start a riot.

The final is a Dungeon Match. Each fighter goes in their own entrance and heads through the dungeon to the ring in the middle. There are a few items lying around the dungeon. Grab them and you'll have an edge, but there are demons loose in there, so watch out. Once both fighters are in the ring, the real fight begins. Of course, whoever takes down the other first wins. Got the rules?

All right, (hero), go on up.

Okamoto: We've come this far, there's nothing left to say! Believe in your strength! You're strong! You'll win! Come back no matter what! Now get out there!

Announcer: Today's main event! The tournament final! The fighters battling for the championship are... Red Bear!

...and (hero)!

READY!

GO!

Colosseum Man: Hey, champion. Good fight the other day. Do your best next time too. Did Okamoto give you your money? The fight money was 1000000 macca. What? You didn't get your cut? ...That old man's at the casino again...

Colosseum Man: So you came, champion. You're set to fight (friend 2) here. You know about that, right?

Then go on in. (friend 2)'s already inside waiting.

Voice: So you've shown yourself, (hero)! You Anti-Messiah, holding out a false saving hand and leading people astray! For the world's sake and for the people's, I can't let you live!

...But if you step into the Colosseum ring in that shape, there's no match. Hurry up and get yourself healed.

Then I'll fill you in.

(friend 2) is a man people in the Millennium have lately been saying might be the Messiah. He says he's the true Messiah, and to settle it, he told us he wants to fight you. A fight between you and (friend 2), both rumored to be the Messiah, works out pretty well for us too. So we set up a Special Match... Got it?

Colosseum Man: Ah, Lord Messiah! Who'd have thought you, the champion, were the savior. I guess the strong really are in the right.

(demon): You...

(demon): ...Hey! Where are you looking?! Listen when someone's talking! Ignoring me, you've got some nerve. Or are you just an idiot? (hero), you've done well to fight your way up here. I'll praise your fighting, and...

I'll mourn your end!

(demon): ......Just one more win...... and I'd have been... champion...... and gone... to the Center......

Announcer: We have a champion! (hero) wins!

The new champion is (hero)! The new champion is......

(friend 2): So you didn't run, and made it this far. But a fake like you is fated by God's will to disappear right here! Anti-Messiah! Prepare yourself!

(friend 2): I am the savior! In the name of the Messiah, I'll destroy you!

(friend 2): Feel it! This is the power of the true Messiah!

(friend 2) lands a deadly blow!

(friend 2): You're a tough one!

But this ends it!

(her): Look out!

(hero), move!

Aaaaaaah!!

(friend 2): Y-you bastard!!

Hiding behind a woman! I'll never forgive you!

(friend 2): Why would I...

How could I, the savior, lose...

Why......?

Finish off (friend 2)?

(her): Stop.

...

You mustn't kill him.

......

Do you really want to finish off (friend 2)?

(her): No.

You mustn't kill him.

I'm done for anyway,

so I want him to live. And

you too.

My job was to protect

you.

It was only a short time, but

b-being with you

made me so

hap-

py......

(her) has breathed her last.

(friend 2): D-damn it! This grudge,

I will never

for-

get,

you hear

me......

(friend 2) ran away.

Center Bishop: (friend 2), who called himself the savior, has been defeated!

Just as God foretold, the Anti-Messiah appeared to lead people astray, and has been struck down by the hand of the true Messiah!

(hero) is the true Messiah! At last, God has sent a savior to us!

Voice: Hail (hero), our savior!

Child: Some weird old guy told me to give you this. Here.

The child hands you a memo. The memo says:

I want to tell you the truth. Please come to the back of the Gaea Temple on the first floor of the Slums.\nMekata

Got the "(item)."

(her): You've changed

your mind.

(her): Please listen

to me, (hero).

Voice: Look! That's the fake, the false savior, the Anti-Messiah!

Guide: This is the Hall of Fame. Statues stand here in honor of the champions who won the tournament and went on to the Center.

Akira Otomo: A small fighter who beat one strong opponent after another. He was best at turning his foe's strength against them.

King Muscle: Always proud of his own beautiful body. He was also known for his incredible luck.

Tears are running from the eyes of The Hero's statue......
