Map of the Ragnarok Ship

Question No.5
Q. How do I defeat those Ailens at the Ragnarok
A. Well, this is quite simple. You will not encounter any random battles here. Firstly you must defeat those ailens with the same colour first. Let's says if you have defeated the Purple Ailen in the main compound, you must then fight the Purple Ailen at the other side [refer to map]. If you did not, they will regenrate and you will fight them all over and again. Certain Magic Stones will appear after you have defeated them. There are 4 kinds of aliens and they are different in colours and there are two of the same kind.

After defeating all aliens, head for the elevator where you found the green monster and you will have an event. Squall taking control of the seat and there you will hear the song ... very mushy stuff. Here are the lyrics:

E Y E S   O N   M E

Whenever sang my songs, on the stage, on my own.
Whenever said my words, wishing they would be heard.
I saw you smiling at me, was it real, or just my fantasy?
You'd always be there in the corner, of this tiny little bar.

My last night here for you, same old songs, just once more.
My last night here with you? Maybe yes, Maybe no.
I kind of liked it your way, how you shyly placed your eyes on me.
Oh~ did you ever know, that i had mine on you?

Darling~ so there you are, with that look on your face.
As if you're never hurt, as if you're never down.
Shall i be the one for you, who pinches you softly but sure,
If frown is shown, then i will know that you are no dreamer.

So let me come to you, close as I want to be.
Close enough for me, to feel your heart beating fast.
And stay there as i whisper, how i loved your peaceful eyes on me.
Did you ever know, that i had mine on you?

Darling~ so share with me, your love if you have enough,
Your tears if you're holding back, of pain if that's what it is.
How can i let you know, i'm more than the dress and the voice.
Just reach me out then, you will know that you're not dreaming.


Thanks to Michiru.
