Matthew: Na'el? You're...I thought you were dead. I'm so glad...I...I was so sure you'd...I really thought I lost you for good this time! Hahaha...What's up with that outfit, huh? Where'd you pick up a weird...get-up like... (Starts walking towards Na'elpha)
Rex: Matthew, no! It's not her!
Matthew: Huh? Not Na'el? But it clearly is! How can you not recognize her? Oh! Of course! You've never met her before! Hang on, I-I should have a photo...
A: Matthew! Look at me! The person you see before you isn't Na'el. It is in part, but not wholly. Inside of her... is Alpha!
(Beat)
Matthew: Huh? Not you, too, A? What is this? Who is this "Alpha" guy, anyway? I don't understand!
Alpha: What are you doing? Come quickly. Everyone's waiting, Matthew.
Matthew: Na'el...hold up a minute, will ya? Seems there's something really confusing going on here...
Shulk: Alpha...suddenly appeared one day, with the goal of destroying this world. Rex and I, and Z, too... we fought against Alpha. To save the world from his rancor. Alpha's power is unparalleled. For all our efforts, it wasn't enough. Even our collective might failed to repel him. In the end...all we managed to do was to buy a fraction more time.
A: Having tasted frustration in battle, Alpha understood. He realized...he needed something to amplify his power. An avatar. Na'el is the avatar, Matthew. The day the City fell, you didn't...lose Na'el because she went missing. Rather, she had become Alpha's vessel.
Matthew: No...Come on, not you, too, A, I can't...! What the hell is this? Can you stop making shit up?
Rex: There'll be time for explaining later! For now, you gotta give her a right real drubbing!
Matthew: "Drubbing"?!
Shulk: Not that violent. If at all possible, we will free Na'el.
Matthew: And if it's not?
Rex: If not, then...better buckle up, kid!
Matthew: You can't be bloody serious!
Alpha: Hmph. You are in the way...of our vision.
Matthew: Na'el?
Rex: Matthew, no! It's not her!
