Tales of Vesperia
The party chases Regaey here to retrieve the box he stole back in Nordopolica, but there was no sign of him. Estelle and Raven deduce that he went through here to get to the other side of the mountain. Karol Capel tells them that they are in the Weasand of Cados and that a powerful and dangerous monster named Pteropus lives here according to what Nan told him. Judith states he must have went inside without knowing that fact. Suddenly Repede finds him hiding behind a wall, hoping they would pass by him. When Yuri Lowell asked what he was trying to gain by setting them up at the coliseum and when Rita Mordio ordered him to give back the box he stole, he calls forth some members from Leviathan's Claw to cover him while he escaped.

After the struggle, they assume Ruins' Gate and Leviathan's Claw are connected. Rita gets angered by this fact and declares her revenge. When Karol asks how a famous guild like Ruins' Gate can do this, Judith moves ahead, stating that he will get away if they don't hurry. However, Karol reminds them of the monster and Raven states he can not go far from Nordopolica without getting the letter to Belius and if he did Don Whitehorse will give him an even more tedious job. Rita decides to go after them. When Estelle does the same she orders her to stay put, but she refuses. Yuri adds this job is not something Brave Vesperia would pass up as it was their job to protect Estelle. They move on and leave Raven behind, though he follows anyway.

Further in, they find Regaey on the other side of a river. Suddenly the water begins to glow and the party soon realizes that the substance in the river was not water, but aer. It reminded Rita of what happened in Keiv Moc which led her to think there is an aer krene here as well. When Raven asked what they should do, Yuri suggested they charge in but Judith think that would be a bad idea and Estelle backs up her claim that touching that aer is dangerous. Regaey thanks his good fortune and runs but he is blocked by more concentrated aer. The mountain began to shake and A giant dragon appeared. Yuri asked Karol if it was the monster he talked about but Karol claimed that he never seen anything like it before, though Judith is silent about it. The dragon began to absorb the aer into itself causing everyone in the area to feel dizzy. Things seemed hopeless until the dragon took off. Everyone could move again as the aer was stabilized, meaning Regaey was fortunate enough to escape. Rita enters the aer flow suggesting it was safe to traverse. Raven wanted to know what happened and she suggested the monster stabilized the berserk aer krene meaning it would control the aer, thinking back to what Duke Pantarei did back at the Forest of Keiv Moc. She also confirmed to Yuri that it was safe to traverse. She wanted to study the aer krene but remembered that catching Regaey comes first and that she can come back to it another time. As they prepare to move on Yuri asked Karol if he was okay and he replies he is just fine. As they move on, Rita wonders if the monster's power was similar to the Rizomata Formula and caught up with the party.

At the exit they finally caught up with Regaey who was being blocked by a bunch of bats. Repede managed to get the box and give it back to the rest of the party. Yuri told him the game was over until he started to speak in a strange accent. Regaey revealed that he was actually Yeager, the leader of Leviathan's Claw. A confused Estelle wondered if he disguised himselfm but Judith told her there was no time to worry about that. He then told them he did not want to end up like Ragou. When Estelle asked what happened to him, he told her that the knights found his body face-down in a riverbead in Dahngrest and he could not bear it if he ended up like him. Estelle wanted to ask why, but Yuri and Yeager could not say, though the former knew why. Estelle tried to stop him but Gauche and Droite appeared and cleared a path for him to escape. The bats then group together to form the Pteropus and knocks the twins down.

After defeating the monster, Estelle heals the twins but Gauche tells her not to bother as they do not need help from their enemies and they would not make fools of them. Estellle tells them they can not go very far with their injuries but they use a smoke bomb and escape. Even Repede's nose could not handle the stench and they lose them. Rita felt the heat from outside the cave and judith confirms they have arrived at the Sands of Kogorh. Estelle decides to meet Phaeroh and the party goes with her as it is their job to protect her. Now that they retrieved the box, there was no point in chasing Yeager anymore. Rita asks if she is really going through with it and she tells her she must and she is ready for the desert. Judith tells them that the desert was divided into three regions: the western foothills, the eastern peaks and the center where it is the hottest. She also informs them of a town located between the end of the western foothills and the central area. When Rita asked how she knew that, she told her that she went there with a freidna dn th town was nice since it was built near an oasis. Yuri decided that the party should hold off making any decisions until they got there.
