OLDERION FEDERATION - THE WATER MAIDEN - SHIPWRECK OPENING
(Nichol stands in a shipwreck. Rain enters.)
Rain: Hey! Nichol! What was that all about? Why'd you run off?
Nichol: This ship.. There is no mistaking it. This is the ship that the Water Priestess departed on. But it should not be in a place like this. Luka... please be unharmed.
Rain: Let's take a look around, then. Perhaps the crew is still below deck.
Nichol: Take a look around? I would advise you all to leave at once. The ship looks ready to capsize at any moment.
Rain: Exactly. That's why we've got to help you find that Water Priestess as soon as possible, right?
(The four run off into the ship. Nichol gets (...) over his head, then runs after them.

OLDERION FEDERATION - THE WATER MAIDEN - SHIPWRECK 1
Lasswell: Blast, these cursed monsters are everywhere!
Rain: It seems monsters are to blame for the ship going down.
Nichol: Surely that's impossible. This ship should be under the protection of the Water Shrine.
Rain: What's this about a water god?
(Wave 1 of battle commences, and leads to wave 2.)
Lid: Yeah, Nichol, what kind of god is the water god?
Nichol: Why would you care? It is of no consequence to you.
Lid: What are you talking about? How could you be so could when we've come so far together?
Nichol: Come now. No need to get yourself so upset. We will talk to the water priestess once we meet her. That is what you want, right?
(Wave 2 of battle commences, and leads to wave 3.)
Nichol: This ship is sinking a lot faster than I thought it would.
Fina: I-I'm sorry! It seems I ate too much for breakfast this morning...
Lid: I had seconds, too. I feel a bit heavier than I usually do...
Nichol: Hmph, how humorous...
Lasswell: Do you know, I really think they're telling the truth. Just look at those two.
(Wave 3 of battle commences, and leads to a boss battle against two mermaids.)
Rain: That couldn't be a mermaid, could it? It's so beautiful...
Lid: Hold it, Rain! Don't get so close to that monster!
Nichol: Mermaids are dangerous creatures which charm human men then lure them deep underwater. They drown countless men just like Rain every year.
Lasswell: Rain, you're going to follow your lascivious eyeballs all the way to the bottom of the sea!
(Battle commences. There is no dialogue afterward.)

OLDERION FEDERATION - THE WATER MAIDEN - SHIPWRECK ENDING
(Rain rushes towards a maiden laying on the floor. The astute will recognize the music playing as being "The Water Maiden" from Final Fantasy III.)
Rain: Miss... Are you all right?
Luka: Who... are you?
(She stands. Nichol comes up behind Rain as Rain speaks.)
Rain: Me? Oh, no one; no one at all. Just the man... who came to save you.
Nichol: Thank the crystals that you are unharmed... Luka.
Luka: Brother! Oh, brother, I knew you would come to find me!
(Rain gets (...) over his head. Lid turns to Lasswell, and also gets (...) over her head.)
Lid: Wait.... Did she just say "brother"?
Lasswell: He did introduce himself as one of the Wardens of the Waters. I suppose it is not surprising that they should be related.
Lid: The confusing point ain't that they're related, exactly. It's how she stayed so sweet growing up around a dagger-eyed, condescending prig like that guy.
Nichol: And I can still hear you.
Luka: Dear brother, who are your companions?
Nichol: Grandshelt knights. So they have led me to believe.
Luka: Please allow me to thank you on my brother's behalf. I'm sure you have all been a great help to him. Brother, if you have come seeking me out, then have the waters of the aquapolis been affected?
Nichol: They have. We should return there at once. We must purify the defiled water before it spreads any further.
Lid: Hey, uh... We're definitely sitting lower in the water than we were when we got on board. Ain't we?
Nichol: That is not all. The tide has also driven us out further out to sea.
Luka: Please do not fear. I can at least do this much....
(She clasps her hands and begins to glow. Bubbles of water envelop the party.)
