Accepting All Challengers
Cleo: Thank you for helping with the shopping, Yuya.
Yuya: No sweat, sis! Gotta put my strength to use somehow.
Yuya: ...Not like I can fight anymore. I'm just a wuss without a partner now.
Cleo: If you mean that chariot of yours, you needn't worry.
Cleo: It is being repaired at the Halidom as we speak. I'm sure it will be back in working order before long.
Yuya: Ya really think so?! Man, I can't wait to see my guy again.
Yuya: I'm tellin ya, sis, when me'n him are together, there ain't NOTHIN' that can stop us!
Cleo: Yuya, hush!
Yuya: What is it, sis, ya don't believe me?
Cleo: I am NOT your sis! Please, just get down and keep your voice low.
Cleo: We can't let them spot us.
Yuya: Who now?
Cleo: The imperial soldiers marching this way.
Imperial Commander: ......
Yuya: I don't like these odds, sis. There's too many of 'em!
Cleo: Indeed. And if we assume they are headed for the Halidom to mount a surprise attack...
Yuya: I read ya loud'n clear. We gotta take 'em out here!
Cleo: Did we not just agree that their numbers are too great?
Cleo: If we hurry back ourselves, we can still warn everyone in time.
Cleo: Though that's far from guaranteed...
Yuya: Then we'll have wasted our chance! We gotta finish 'em here.
Yuya: Come on, they can't beat me when I've got my chariot!
Cleo: ...But you DON'T have your chariot, do you?
Yuya: ...Shoot.
Cleo: I fear retreat is our only option. We shall simply have to try our best to reach the castle before they do.
Cleo: Come, Yuya. Let us hope we are not too late.
Yuya: I gotta run away...?
Cleo: What is the matter? We must hurry.
Yuya: I know I'm nothin' without my chariot, but I seriously have to turn tail and run?
Yuya: Sure, I'd just get killed if I got in a scrap right now, but...
Yuya: Is this really all I've got? A lousy bet that we can make it back to Slick and them in time?!
Yuya: Red Champ wouldn't run. And neither would Slick!
Yuya: They'd stand their ground, put their lives on the line. That's what STRONG people do!
Cleo: What you're planning is insane, Yuya! I won't allow it!
Yuya: Don't worry sis—insanity's my bread'n butter.
Yuya: Now beat feet back to Slick. I'll buy you some time!
Yuya: It's gonna work. We can save everyone!
Cleo: You truly believe you can hold them here? By yourself?
Yuya: Hey, if my life can save everyone else's, that's a price worth payin'.
Cleo: Yuya...
Cleo: Very well. I shall follow your plan.
Cleo: But you are to disrupt their ranks ONLY, and then retreat. Am I clear? You are not allowed to die.
Yuya: Heh... Damn legs are shakin'...
Yuya: I can't die here. I'm gonna live to get stronger.
Yuya: All right. OVER HERE, TURKEYS!
Imperial Soldier 1: What?! ...Oh, it's just a kid.
Yuya: Oh yeah?!
Imperial Soldier 1: Aaargh!
Yuya: You ain't gettin' nowhere NEAR Slick's castle, you imperial scumbags!
Imperial Commander: Ah, a friend of Euden's, are you?
Imperial Commander: It was quite foolish to face us alone. Show him why, men!
Imperial Soldiers: Yes, sir!
Yuya: You cats ain't got NOTHIN' on me!
Imperial Soldiers: Haaaah!
Yuya: Urk! That one hurt... But I'll show you how tough I am!
Yuya: Even WITHOUT my chariot!
Yuya: Underestimate me at your own risk, freaks!
Imperial Commander: Urgh! How can someone so small be so strong?!
Yuya: *pant* *pant* No one...bends my comb. OR my will!
Yuya: And you can take that to the bank!
Imperial Commander: What a pest. Don't hold back, men— KILL HIM!
Imperial Soldiers: Yes, sir!
Yuya: Urgh... You turkeys won't beat me. Not now, not EVER!
Yuya: Ah! Damn it... My leg's givin' out on me.
Imperial Commander: Now! Finish him!
Cleo: Yuya! Your chariot is fixed!
Imperial Commander: Argh!
Yuya: No foolin'...?
Yuya: Partner! You look better than ever.
Euden: Yuya! I'm so glad we made it in time.
Imperial Commander: Urgh... Wait—Euden?!
Imperial Commander: Blast! We wasted too much time on the child!
Ranzal: Sure did. Now take THIS! HAAAAH!
Imperial Soldier 2: Aaaagh!
Ranzal: Ambushes don't feel so good, do they?
Yuya: Slick! Sis! Ya made it!
Cleo: It was only possible thanks to you.
Euden: Cleo told me everything. You were incredibly brave, Yuya!
Ranzal: Damn straight! Didn't know ya had that kinda courage in ya, kid!
Ranzal: And now you've got yer partner back; why don't you show us what yer made of?
Yuya: Ha ha! Hell yeah.
Yuya: With me'n my partner back together, my heart's about to get a hundred times stronger!
Yuya: So don't blink, or you'll miss all the action!
Yuya: Let's go, go, GOOOO!
Imperial Soldiers: Aaaaah!
Yuya: Ka-POW! KA-POW KA-POW KA-POOOOW!
Imperial Commander: Wh-what IS this kid?!
Imperial Soldier 3: Commander, he's decimating our formation! We can't take much more!
Imperial Commander: Ugh... Fine. RETREEEAT!
Yuya: Ha HA! I'm the best, baddest, STRONGEST cat around!
Cleo: I'm amazed you could keep fighting after sustaining such injuries.
Cleo: Hold still. I'll heal you.
Yuya: Thanks, sis!
Cleo: *sigh* I must admit that is not my favorite moniker, but I suppose I can live with it.
Yuya: Man... I frickin' DID IT!
Yuya: I finally closed the gap between me and Slick and Red Champ!
Yuya: And I owe it to all of you! Now let me go buy you some bread as thanks! Let's go, Chariot!
