Chapter 5: The Floating Island, Altera

Elsword and the gang ended up crashing in Altera Village. They soon begin to realize that it was the Black Crow battleship that attacked Wally's Airship. Adel has helped the Party to arrange a surprise attack on Raven. Raven was defeated by the Party, and he realized that he was making a mistake all along. He then decided to join forces with his opponents. Raven decided to help the team find the El Shard, so he led the Party to Altera Core to get the stolen El Shard back from King Nasod.

  • (CLANG--!)
  • Elsword: Ugh...!
  • ???: ...
  • Elsword: This, sword technique... You are...
  • Elsword: (It's not the same as mine... But this sword technique is definitely based on Velder's. And he's really good...!)
  • Elsword: (He's going to take me down if I'm not careful!)
  • Aisha: Be careful Elsword!
  • (SLAM-!)
  • Elsword: Ack!
  • (THUMP)
  • Rena: Are you ok? That was dangerous... Can you get up?
  • Rena: Who is that person? And that arm...
  • Aisha: One thing for sure, is that the black airship was not on Wally's side.
  • Elsword: Cough, and the El is now in his hands.
  • ???: How pathetic. You followed my ship with that abysmal skill?
  • Elsword: It's not over yet... I can still fight!
  • ???: Bow down, human. Kneel and lower your head. Revere power and submit to authority.
  • ???: That is the repulsive human nature.
  • Rena: ... How can you say that?
  • Elsword: Cough! Ugh, give me a break! You're the one who submitted!
  • Elsword: That arm... That's a Nasod arm you exchanged for power, isn't it?!
  • ???: You dare...!
  • ???: You dare say that... 'I' am not...!
  • (PZZZZZZT---!!)
  • ???: Ugh... Gah...!
  • Rena: Wh, what's going on? He's holding his head...
  • Aisha: Something's wrong. He seems to be in pain. But why...?
  • Rena: Hey! Who are you? We don't know why you are doing this, but we don't want to fight you!
  • ???: You don't know! You make me laugh, human! I will not forgive, I, I...
  • (PZZZZZZT---!!)
  • ???: Agh! Damn... it... Stop interfering me...!
  • Rena: Who is he talking to?
  • ???: ...
  • ???: ... Experiment 137. Mission El Retrieval complete. Returning to the island.
  • (CLICK-)
  • ???: Eliminate all humans before departure. Commence attack.
  • Aisha: What...!
  • Rena: No! We need to get out of here, now!
  • (BANG! KABOOM! KAPOW-!!!!)

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Adel: Are you awake, Pong?
  • Elsword: Oww...
  • Rena: Eeuu... Where are we?
  • Aisha: Ponggos?! You are really Ponggos? I heard they all disappeared after the El Explosion!
  • Amos: We didn't hide away on purpose, pong. We are trapped on this floating island, Altera, pong.
  • Rena: Wait, did you say floating island? Like floating in the sky?
  • Adel: Yes, pong. The Black Crows prevent us from leaving, and no one can enter. You were lucky to survive.
  • Aisha: My goodness... I had no idea. I can't believe no one noticed a giant island floating in the sky...
  • Rena: Black Crows? There was a man with a machine arm commanding the black airship. Is that the right guy?
  • Amos: A machine arm? You must be talking about Raven, pong. You guys were really lucky.
  • Elsword: ... Is Raven his name?
  • Adel: Yes, pong. He is the leader of Black Crows. He and the other Black Crows uses the airship to move to-and-fro Altera and steals El shards and Nasod parts.
  • Rena: I heard about them. Apparently an unknown group of bandits were going around pillaging villages. I thought it was a strange rumor, but to think it was true...
  • Aisha: If they are using Nasods, is Wally behind them as well?
  • Aisha: So the Nasods have control of this area?
  • Adel: You are correct, pong. Altera island is ruled by the survivor of the ancient Nasod race, King Nasod, and his army. pong...
  • Amos: We Ponggos know Nasod technology, so King Nasod is detaining us to make sure the technology doesn't spread. That's why we live in seclusion, pong.
  • Rena: Oh, we're underground. I was wondering why I couldn't see the sky.
  • Elsword: You know, replacing body parts with Nasod parts... At first, I thought it was similar to Banthus's arm, but his seemed more... machine-like.
  • Rena: He seemed to have suffered through a lot. He was in pain...
  • Adel: ... It's no surprise. Those who have been modified with Nasod parts have a mind control device attached to their head, pong.
  • Adel: That device caused you to lose your memory of when you were human and leave you under King Nasod's control. Burning with hatred towards humans, pong.
  • Aisha: That's horrible...
  • Elsword: ... His sword technique, it was precise and without hesitation, like a machine...
  • Elsword: ... He's so strong even when he's under control.
  • Amos: You said Raven took your El shard? If you are going to fight him, we will help you, pong!
  • Aisha: Thank you. The Black Crows seemed strong, not to mention Raven himself. We'll need to approach this carefully. Any ideas?
  • Adel: ... How about we neutralize the mind control device, pong? Raven hasn't lost his humanity yet, pong.
  • Rena: Huh? Can you tell me more about that?
  • Amos: One time... Raven escaped and came to us. He asked us to stop the mind control device so he won't have to be forced to commit atrocious crimes under Nasod control, pong.
  • Amos: Before we could do anything, he was discovered by the Nasods and was taken away...
  • Rena: That's...
  • Adel: Raven was put under harsher control due to his escape attempt, but he still resisted, pong. He refused orders and retreated with the Black Crows, giving us time to escape underground, pong.
  • Adel: Even before Raven came to us, we tried to save humans controlled by the mind control device, but no one ever regained their consciousness, pong. However...
  • Aisha: You think with a strong will power like his... it might succeed.
  • Aisha: Once Raven is no longer under control, do you think he can order the Black Crows directly to stop attacking the Ponggos?
  • Adel: It sounds like a possibility, pong.
  • Elsword: ...
  • Rena: Alright. We'll talk to him.

  • (CLANG- CLANG-)
  • Elsword: Ugh.
  • Aisha: Are you alright? You can't let your guard down. He's not an easy opponent.
  • Elsword: I... know! Damn it, I'm doing my best.
  • Aisha: This isn't working. I thought we just needed to get rid of the device somehow. What if his mind is completely taken already?
  • Elsword: No, he was definitely resisting. And...
  • (CLANG!!)
  • Elsword: Oof!
  • Elsword: (Again! He shifted. Even though he could have landed a fatal blow at anytime...!)
  • Elsword: ... Hey! Your name is Raven, right?
  • Raven: ...!
  • Elsword: Stop the nonsense about experiment or whatever! You're human! Remember who you are!
  • Raven: Ugh...! Shut up!
  • Elsword: This technique... It's a little different from mine, but I recognize it. You're a swordsman from Velder, aren't you?
  • Raven: ...
  • Elsword: And not just any swordsman. I don't know how someone like you ended up under the Nasod's control...
  • Elsword: But are you going to allow someone to lead your life, fighting for something you don't believe in forever?
  • Raven: ... This is my will.
  • Raven: Until every human is wiped off Elrios, I will not stop...!
  • Elsword: Damn it, give me a break! Then why are you hesitating! You could have killed me several times over already!
  • Elsword: Either hate humans, or wake up and own up! It's annoying when I'm doing my best here, and you're going easy on me!
  • Raven: Agh...
  • Aisha: That resentment is not yours. It's because of King Nasod's mind control device!
  • Rena: ... You were not surprised to see us again. You were never planning on killing us to begin with, weren't you?
  • Rena: You already knew when you shot down our ship that we will make it to the Ponggo village alive.
  • Rena: That's why I know, your stance, your threat, you don't mean any of it. You don't have to lie to yourself anymore!
  • Raven: ... No.
  • Aisha: No...?
  • Raven: I... I never... Not once...
  • Raven: I swear on my blade... That I always acted with honor. Even amidst all the accusations thrown my way, and against injustice I could not overcome on my own...
  • Raven: But it was no use. All that remained was my family tarnished with false accusations, my friend's betrayal, and the death of my fiancé and my comrades!
  • Rena: ...
  • Raven: How can you say this hatred, this rage is not mine!
  • Raven: Even if it wasn't my choice, even if I didn't mean it, can you guarantee that I can go back? Even when I cannot guarantee the same myself?
  • Rena: ... It might not be my place to say so... But yes. I believe you can.
  • Rena: Your pain... your anguish... is the biggest proof that your mind is not completely taken by the Nasods.
  • Rena: So it's not too late. You can go back.
  • Raven: ...
  • Elsword: I think so too. That's why I'm going to give it my all to stop you.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • (SLAM)
  • Amos: Oh! You did it! Pong!
  • Raven: ...
  • Adel: Is, is he dead, pong...?
  • Aisha: He's just unconscious. Can you get rid of the mind control device before he wakes up?
  • Amos: Leave it to me, pong!
  • Amos: Oh, about the airship that you brought, pong. Is it alright if we fix it up and use it?
  • Amos: It would help us a lot in escaping this island, pong.
  • Aisha: It's not really ours, so I don't mind... but can you even fix it? Do what you want with it.
  • Rena: I hope everything works out. Oh yeah, we looked around the Black Crow, but could not find the El shard. We will have to ask Raven when he wakes up.
  • Rena: I think it's already in King Nasod's hands... Do you know where we might find him?
  • Adel: We don't know where King Nasod is located, pong. But it's probably heavily guarded, so we can use that to predict where he might be, pong.
  • Adel: There's a vast plain near the village, pong. At some point, we began calling it the Return Plain.
  • Adel: It's where all old Nasods go to die. A burial ground for Nasods, if you will, pong.
  • Aisha: I see! If we trace where all those Nasods are coming from, it should lead up to the location of King Nasod!
  • Rena: Then we'll go look around the plain. Let's go, Elsword.
  • Elsword: ...
  • Aisha: Hello? Hey, get up! Let's go!
  • Rena: Ahaha... He did overwork himself this time. No wonder he's knocked out. Let him sleep and we can go on our own, Aisha.
  • Aisha: Ugh! I suppose I'll let it slide! You just rest while I go this time, you dummy!
  • Elsword: Uuu... ugh.
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • [Return Plain]
  • Rena: This place is desolate... and lonely. Maybe because I know it's considered a grave for Nasods.
  • Aisha: I think they're just gathering them in one place because they're useless.
  • Rena: Gathering them in one place... Do you think that's all there is to it?
  • Aisha: Well... According to ancient scriptures, Nasods were no ordinary machines. They had high intellect and were capable of social behavior enough to define themselves as a species.
  • Rena: I heard that as well. That is wasn't Nasod machines, but the Nasod race... It's been a while since I heard this phrase.
  • Rena: I don't think the Nasods Wally made had any intellect. Maybe the Nasods here were different?
  • Aisha: I've never seen a proper Nasod, but if they exist, I'm sure they will be furious when they see the junk of a Nasod Wally made!
  • Rena: Hahaha! I have to agree with you. It wasn't exactly aesthetically pleasing!
  • Rena: Anyway, all these Nasods have something on them. Is this moss? I haven't seen them around Ruben, for sure.
  • Aisha: It's a bit powdery to be considered moss... Maybe it's mold? The air is really stuffy, too.
  • Rena: You think so? Oh, I see more Nasods this way. I think we're on the right track.
  • Aisha: Rena! Look! I thought that was a hill from afar, but it looks like...
  • Rena: A giant pile of Nasods! I wonder why there's so many of them piled up here?
  • Aisha: It's strange. They look like they are holding hands, or linking arms.
  • Rena: It looks like the Nasods are coming from that cave over there. It looks dark and deep...
  • Rena: Hm... Let's end our investigation here. Let's return to the village.

The El Search Party scouted Return Plains and found a suspicious cave where decommissioned Nasods were tangled together. They decide to investigate the cave further to search for King Nasod's location.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Raven: ...
  • Elsword: ...
  • Elsword: (Hm... I have nothing to say. Where did everyone go? I can't believe they left me without a word...)
  • Elsword: ... Ahem.
  • Elsword: (... Might as well train since I don't know when they are coming back.)
  • Elsword: (How did he move earlier? I want to try it out.)
  • Elsword: (It was something like... spinning here... Then step here... and extend your arm like this! And swing downwards... What was the next move...?)
  • Raven: ...
  • (Twist)
  • Elsword: Uaah!
  • Raven: ... You're going to twist your back if you try that with your sword.
  • Elsword: Huh?!
  • Raven: It doesn't suit well... with a sword like yours. It's better for medium size, or smaller swords. If you attempt with your sword, your side is going to be wide open.
  • Elsword: ... Is, is that so?
  • Raven: Yes. It's different for me, as I can block incoming attack with my Nasod arm and counter.
  • Raven: Even then, I only began to use this technique recently due to the change in my body's balance. It's not a technique I used often before.
  • Elsword: Mm... Well, I just wanted to try it out.
  • Raven: Is that so? ... That wasn't too bad for a first attempt. You're very skilled for your age.
  • Elsword: Ah, of, of course I am!
  • Elsword: I was taught by the best swordsman in Velder!
  • Aisha: What are you all please about about, you dummy.
  • Elsword: Whaa! You scared me! Where did you guys go off to?!
  • Aisha: Scouting the area instead of a certain someone who was sleeping, why?
  • Rena: You're both awake! Raven, how do you feel?
  • Raven: Ah... Not... bad.
  • Rena: Hehe, that's good!
  • Raven: ... I, ... I'm sorry. For what I did to you...
  • Raven: When I woke up after being freed from the mind control device, it felt like my mind was finally cleared from the fog.
  • Raven: Although, I was under control, I still felt hatred and a desire for revenge.
  • Raven: The device merely amplified what was already there. I... do not wish to deny that.
  • Raven: What I have done... I remember clearly, even though I was under control. But... I am thankful for that.
  • Raven: I have acted against my beliefs. Even if I live a life of atonement, it will never be enough.
  • Raven: You're here to find the El? This is largely my fault, so I will help you.
  • Raven: ... Of course... only if you are willing to accept...
  • Elsword: Of course! I'm glad you'd join!
  • Aisha: I wasn't planning on objecting... But think before you decide, you dummy.
  • Rena: Huhu, I'm glad you're joining us.
  • Elsword: Anyway, where did you all go?
  • Rena: We looked around the plain, hoping to find clues to where King Nasod is located.
  • Rena: We found a cave there... and it seems the Nasods that are no longer functioning are coming out from there. I think it's worth investigating there, what do you think?
  • Raven: ...
  • Aisha: ...?
  • Elsword: Is something wrong?
  • Raven: Ah, no... ... I don't know. A cave...
  • Raven: I remember... doing something there. But I don't remember anything else.
  • Rena: Maybe a side effect of the mind control device? You should rest some more.
  • Raven: It's fine. I can still fight. And... The longer I stay here, the more trouble it is for the Ponggos.
  • Aisha: At least we know that it's no ordinary cave if it's in Raven's memory... Now it's even more likely that it has something to do with King Nasod.
  • Elsword: Let's go check out the cave!
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • [Inside Underground Cave of the Plains]
  • Rena: Here's another one of those Nasods piled up with their hands linked...
  • Rena: Some of them are still moving. They're not in good condition, but it's better to be careful than sorry.
  • Aisha: It's fascinating... How is it still moving? It looks even more damaged than the ones in the plains. Ugh... and there's even more mold on them, too.
  • (TDDDDDDD...)
  • Elsword: Ugh... I hear slamming noise everywhere, and the air is really stuffy! What's this? The wall is covered from top to bottom with... Huh?
  • (SWEEP- SWEEP-)
  • Aisha: What are you doing? That's disgusting.
  • Elsword: I found something. 'b4-1' ... What does that mean? Is it some kind of code?
  • Aisha: Maybe its a designation code for this area. The Ponggo village also had something similar.
  • Aisha: There are pipes everywhere on the wall, and on the ground... And is that a filter? Not that it's doing its job properly.
  • Elsword: I'm not scared of a bunch of tin cans. We'll just wipe them out as we go.
  • Raven: Alright, and beginning is half the battle. Let's go.
  • Rena: Those two get along quite well.
