The entire crew, especially Cecil, is shocked at this. This means that Golbez was, all along, really Cecil’s brother.

FuSoYa states that Golbez was controlled by Zemus’ telepathy. Since Golbez has Lunarian blood, he easily fell prey to his influence, and it amplified its effects.

Cecil realizes that all the time, he was fighting his own brother. He also realizes that he could have just been easily chosen as Golbez was. Golbez says no, that Zemus chose him because of the evil in his soul.


Golbez then goes off, saying he’ll settle this himself. FuSoYa tells him to wait, and that since Zemus is also another Lunarian, he will accompany him.

Golbez says farewell to Cecil. He and FuSoYa leave, and needless to say, FuSoYa is out of your party.

The crew asks Cecil if he will go with them. Rosa remarks that Golbez is now willing to die to right his wrongs. Cecil is still having a hard time absorbing all this new information.

Suddenly, the Giant of Babil starts shaking. It’s finally collapsing, with no Core to sustain it. The crew can’t find an exit, but then Kain appears and says to come this way. He says they’ll talk later, but now they have to leave immediately. The party barely escapes from the Giant of Babel, and then returns to convene inside of the Lunar Whale.

Kain says that he’s finally broken free of Golbez’s control, once and for all (since, he is no longer under Zemus’ control). But Kain says he doesn’t expect them all to forgive him. Edge gets angry at Kain, saying that it was his fault the giant was revived. Then, Rosa rushes to his side, saying that Golbez was being manipulated too, and that it wasn’t Kain’s fault. She then explains the situation to Kain.

Kain then decides that he’ll go to the moon too, to get even with Zemus. Edge says he’ll just end up being controlled again. Kain asks him to kill him if that happens. Then Edge says he’ll have to go with him, since he wants to ‘bust up’ Zemus anyway.

Cecil then decides that he’ll go to the moon as well. But he tells Rosa and Rydia to stay behind, so that they’ll be safe. The girls adamantly refuse, but Cecil says that he doubts they’ll all return safe this time. The girls refuse again, but Cecil yells at Rosa to get off. Edge then convinces Rydia to leave as well. Then, the men use the Crystal to fly to the moon.

When they land, Cecil asks if they’re all ready. The men then try leaving the Lunar Whale, discovering that the women were hiding there all along. After an emotional agreement, the entire team decides to go and confront Zemus. Kain is now back in your party. It’s finally time to confront Zemus and begin the final battle.
