- Shulk: [over a cloudy scene] Long ago, the world was nothing more than an endless sea cloaked in a boundless sky, reaching as far as could possibly be imagined.
- [the clouds part to reveal two giants - one white, the other black]
- Shulk: Then two great titans came into existence: the Bionis and the Mechonis.
- [the titans fight each other using sword-like weapons. One of them, the Bionis, strikes the left arm of the Mechonis, which breaks off and lands into the sea as the fight continues]
- Shulk: The titans were locked in a timeless battle...
- [the Bionis and Mechonis strike each other at the same time, and they both stop moving]
- Shulk: ...until at last... only their lifeless corpses remained.
- [the scene fades to white]
- Reyn: [after winning a battle with Shulk and Sharla] I'm on fire! Sharla, didya see it? Didya see what I did?
- Sharla: Oh, I, uh, wasn't really watching.
- Reyn: Oh, come on! That's not fair!
- Shulk: Hahaha!
- Shulk: I'm really feeling it!
- Dunban: They're advancing down our weak right flank. For a bunch of soulless machines, they seem to know a thing or two. But we'll see.
- Shulk: [seeing the Mechon flying overhead] It's a - !
- Fiora: This can't be!
- Reyn: No way.
- [the camera zooms into the flying machines, revealing squads of Mechon waiting for deployment]
- Shulk: Mechon!
- Vangarre: [as Shulk enters the Military District] YOU IDIOTS! What the hell are you playing at?
- Shulk: [thinking] Uh-oh. The colonel's gonna explode.
- Vangarre: Crashing the mobile artillery into a house? How long have you been in the force?
- Defense Force Soldier: Sorry, Sir. It's just that we were trying to go as fast as we could, like you ordered...
- Defense Force Soldier: But it's impossible to get to the Mitilary District in only 40 seconds.
- Vangarre: I don't want any excuses! Champions don't *whine,* they WIN!
- Defense Force Soldier, Defense Force Soldier: [dropping their heads] Yes, sir.
- Vangarre: You're a disgrace to the uniform! Are you forgetting the shame you brought on this force during joint manoeuvers with Colony 6? Stick your back into it, maggots! MOVE IT!
- Defense Force Soldier: Yes, sir.
- Vangarre: Get the artillary to the Military District, DOUBLE TIME! Then I want a million press-ups from both of you! And you better not stop until your biceps EXPLODE!
- Defense Force Soldier: Colonel. W-We can't move the artillery.
- Vangarre: WHAT? You'd better give a damn good reason why!
- Defense Force Soldier: Sir! The impact of the crash damaged the ether conduction cable! The ether fuel proceeded to leak out and now the cylinder is empty!
- Vangarre: Well, change the cylinder, then! Can't you even do something as simple as *that?*
- Defense Force Soldier: The auxiliary cylinders have all been used up. It'll be three days until more come in, sir.
- Vangarre: I told you to keep a stock of fuel in reserve!
- Defense Force Soldier: Sorry, sir...
- Vangarre: You're nothing but slackers!
- [punches the soldier hard in the face]
- Shulk: [wincing before muttering] Same old colonel. At this rate, the men will all be dead before they see any action.
- Mumkhar: Those idiots. I'll just come and get the Monado when everything's quietened down a bit. That thing's gonna be mine!
- [Mumkhar trips and falls down a slope. As he gets up, a laser aims for his forehead. Then hundreds of lasers aim at his entire body]
- Mumkhar: [backing away] Oh, no! Please - NO!
- Dunban: Vile Mechon! If you think the Homs, the people of Bionis, are just waiting here for you to pick us off, you are sorely mistaken!
- Dunban: [what Fiora offers to feed him] You don't need to treat me like an invalid. I'm much better than I was a year ago.
- Fiora: [sitting down] Much better. I thought I'd lost you back then.
- Dunban: Yes. But now I'm almost strong enough to wield the Monado again.
- Fiora: [gets up] Dunban, don't say that! The Mechon have gone now! Why would you say that?
- Dunban: [realizing what he'd done; apologetic] I'm just saying I'm prepared. Sorry.
- Shulk: The Monado... I hope I can figure out the secret of its power one day.
- Fiora: [keeping the canister cases away from Reyn] Ah, I'm coming along as well! I'd feel better going with you boys than sitting at home worrying about you. So, let's get moving.
- [walks off]
- Reyn: [to Shulk] I knew she didn't trust me.
- Shulk: [sympathetic] Looks like it.
- Sharla: I swear I won't stop until I've scrapped *each* and *every* one of you!
- Sharla: [after Shulk shares his vision of Juju being attacked by Mechon] Wait a second! What was all that about?
- Reyn: I know you won't believe this... but Shulk can see the future.
- Sharla: [in disbelief] The future? That's not possible.
- Shulk: That's what I thought, too. I still can't explain this, but that vision *will* come true unless we stop it.
- Sharla: So you're telling me Juju's in danger?
- Reyn: Believe it or don't believe it, that's your call.
- [turns around]
- Reyn: But I wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for Shulk's visions.
- Shulk: [to Metal Face, who has just killed Fiora] *I'll kill you!*
- Shulk: [about Dunban] Even without the Monado, he's the strongest person I know.
- Reyn: [Tephra Cave; when he and Shulk discover the dead bodies of a trade convoy] Man, that's grim. I don't wanna go like this. Not even killed by Mechon, jus' some monsters in a cave.
- Shulk: I've made a decision. My purpose in life - I will pursue that faced Mechon. They attacked our colony, killed Fiora... I will find that Mechon - find it and destroy it. Destroy them all!
