Test 2.
WILLPOWER The chamber at the back of the cave is not unlike the one before it - it's large and oppressively dark, with shallow pools of water puddled on the floor. However, it isn't entirely impossible to see; off in a far corner of the cavern, there's a dim light shining pale blue, the soft glow pulsing steadily like it's keeping time, like a heartbeat. It's likely, however, that you're not going to get a good look at whatever is causing it before a voice rings out from the entrance behind you, immediately setting the Spiritombs off with loud, ringing shrieks that indicate over half a thousand souls aren't pleased with what seems to be happening here, and as the words register, you'll realize it's probably for good reason. "In the name of Team Galactic, I'm going to have to ask you all to leave. The Guardian is rightfully ours." It's immediately obvious that at the very least, the voice doesn't belong to Saturn - it's higher-pitched, belonging to a woman from the sound of it. Turning to face the source will reveal a woman in full Galactic grunt uniform; she seems young in the face and she's rather short, though she's built as though she's likely strong for her size. While she's clearly here to do a task, her eyes are noticeably just as devoid of spirit as the others that you've seen - she's just as heavily brainwashed as the rest. The Spiritombs you've encountered will do their jobs; they'll protect the Lake Guardian physically, promptly proceeding to get between it and...well, everyone else here. They aren't going to back down until the perceived threat is dealt with; they really, really don't like Team Galactic. What happens now is up to you. |

I want to help this world, if I can.
no subject
[Mm.]
We tried to help it, too.

You and the other... Gym Leaders?
[ Is that a thing? She said it like its a thing ]

I am sure your effort was a valiant one.
no subject
...Are you going to the other lakes, then? After this one?
no subject
Yes, probably! If there are other lake guardians to find, and their power might help, we certainly will.

I have a friend who used to be the gym leader there. Her name is Candice. I don't know what happened to her - if you could find out if she's still there, or where she went, that would be... I'd really appreciate it.
[She pauses for a moment.]
You don't have to, and I understand if you don't want to, of course. You don't owe me any favors.

... That you ask at all gives me hope though, Maylene. [ . . . ] Even in the event of failure, that does not mean that the loss is complete [ Her failure, the one that cost Hyrule the champions and her father most of all- ] as long as people hold true and strong, and as long as there are those who persist. This journey of ours has been somewhat haphazard before now, but - yes.
I believe that we have a chance against Cyrus and the others, and I believe that you and this land's other champions still have your role to play. So once we meet with this lake guardian, as we seek out the others, we shall venture north, and I- shall do what I can to find your friend.
[ She shouldn't be speaking for everyone again she chides herself as she finishes, but. ]

I've been fighting a hopeless battle for a while now. Eventually, though... Eventually we'll have the strength to win. I'm sure of it.
no subject
It is never too late, as long as people continue to fight. I am certain of that.
no subject
[We can do this shit, Zelda.]
