The Coral Caverns, Lemurian Belt
Demeui is currently resting in the coral caverns, an area nearby the coral chamber. Demeui's stewing is interrupted by others entering his presence
Kelpie: Hey chief, you look pretty sullen
Demeui: Oh hey Kelpie, I'm just thinking about our recent adventure
Iaray: You know just sitting here all by your lonesome isn't gonna do anything for you
Demeui: I know…but I'm just pondering my own warrior heart
Iaray: Warrior heart?
Demeui: The heart of a warrior, what does fighting and struggle mean?
Kelpie: Listen I hardly care for all that sentimental stuff I just serve this guild because I want to and in my heart I know it's the right thing to do
Iaray: Heh, he's right ya know, our own warriors hearts are in each others
Another person enters
Moesha: Hello?
Kelpie: Hello Moesha
Demeui: Another friend of yours Kelpie?
Kelpie: Yup, Moesha is someone who I'd stand by my entire life
Moesha: Really?
Kelpie: Yes really
Moesha: You sure take your friendships seriously
Kelpie: It's because I'm committed to them, so I am committed to you as well
Demeui: Your bonds are your reasons to fight?
Suddenly a strange noise is heard
Demeui: So, are we off to another war?
Iaray: Well yeah, when we're together, we stand our ground
Moesha: I'll gladly stand beside you
Kelpie: We're going into the unknown together, you and me
Demeui: Let's make haste
Begin The Coral Caverns
When you are 25% through, a group of Department X agents begin attacking the party, the agents are swiftly defeated
Moesha: I wonder what these people are doing all the way out here?
Kelpie: No clue
Demeui: So Department X is doing something in The Crystal Caves? We shall put a stop to it
Iaray: Let's get it done

When you are 45% of the way through
Moesha: Something about the Caverns is oddly calming and soothing, like you could take a nice long nap on the floor
Kelpie: I can post up behind you
Moesha: That's sweet of you Kelpie
Kelpie: You just say the word and I'll do it, my loyalty knows no bounds
Moesha: I truly don't deserve someone like you Kelpie
Kelpie: I disagree, don't sell yourself short!
Iaray: This is cute
Demeui: Young love…
Resume
When you are 70% of the way there
Demeui: Kelpie, earlier you said you didn't care for that sentimental stuff but you went on a spheal about how you'd stay by Moesha's side no matter what?
Kelpie: It's not a sentiment Demeui, it's my undying loyalty becoming physical will
Iaray: Kelpie's commitments are so strong that he'd do anything for someone he's committed too
Moesha: It's the power of friendship!
Iaray: Never say that again
Demeui: No no, she's got a point
Iaray: Isn't that stuff all made up anyway for Fluff Purposes and sappy shit
Demeui: No it's clearly real, remember what Kelpie was saying. Although his talk of commitment is still somewhat of a sentiment that he has
Kelpie: Ok and what of it?
Demeui: I'm amused by your hypocrisy
Iaray: Heh
Moesha: Didn't one of us say "who cares about being a contradiction when I'm defending something I love"
Iaray: No that was Larkin who said that, but the sentiment rings true for Kelpie I guess
Kelpie: I mean I agree with it
Demeui: I do enjoy learning why you fight Kelpie

When you're 90% of the way there
Iaray: Hey Demeui, why do you fight?
Demeui: I fight because I am seeking something
Iaray: What do you mean by that?
Demeui: Sometimes I seek action or challenge or reflection or pause or peace. Maybe I seek to protect or to defend or simply for the fight itself but if I can pursue something, then I will fight to pursue it?
Iaray: So your reason for fighting, your "warrior's heart", is to fight?
Demeui: That's a roundabout way to put it
Iaray: So basically, the reason you fight is your life
Demeui: I am a stalwart warrior, I live and die by the fights I make

When you reach the bottom of the caves, the party comes across a Department X agent inspecting strange rock formations
Agent Kiko: It's got to be nearby, I swear it must be…
Demeui: Hello, can we assist you?
The Agent turns around to see The Century Corps behind her
Agent Kiko: Oh damn it
Kelpie: What's so damnable?
Agent Kiko: You…people…your guild…seriously sucks
Iaray: I don't think that's exactly eloquent or well spoken?
Agent Kiko: I seriously don't like you
Moesha: So what are you doing here at the bottom of this big empty cave?
Agent Kiko: Looking for the thing?
Kelpie: The Thing?
Agent Kiko: Yeah…just a thing
Iaray: Alright so why did you send your goons to kill us?
Agent Kiko: I didn't? I didn't even know you jokers were here
Demeui: They had their own reason to fight us?
Agent Kiko: Yeah and now I'm gonna fight you
Demeui: I see why
Agent Kiko: I seek to avenge all my fallen friends right now
Kelpie: You're welcome to try
Iaray: Looks like it's clobberin time
Fight against Agent Kiko
When she is at 50% health
Moesha: Is it really worth it for you?
Agent Kiko: I've got to try at least, I owe Weaforth and Mercedes that much
Demeui: You're friends?
Agent Kiko: Spare me your sympathy, one of your own killed Weaforth in cold blood, I refuse to cooperate with his killers
Moesha: We're just curious creatures?
Agent Kiko: I don't give a damn about your wonder
Resume
When she is defeated
Agent Kiko (Spitting up blood): Damn it…I failed…
Demeui: You don't have to die you know?
Agent Kiko: ….
Kelpie: Are we really gonna leave her here?
Moesha: Well she doesn't have any real threat to us, does she?
Kelpie: Alright, fair enough
Agent Kiko: So I'm just a joke to you….
Iaray: More like a sad, broken thing.
The Century Corps leave Kiko on the floor, alone with her thoughts as they head up. When they finally get up to the top, the Xen Grand is docked outside
Kelpie: Captain?
Thechr: Hello Crew, we've got adventures to get too?
Iaray: You heard them, let's go
Two Others step out from the deck
Woelyn: The waves aren't gonna sail themselves
Elghene: We've got more to do
Demeui: Well, let's go
Moesha: Aye aye chief
The four get back onto the Xen Grand and get ready to set sail again
