5.1 To the Moon!
---------------------

After you’ve done these side-quests (and please, make absolutely sure you’ve obtained Asura and Leviathan), and stocked up on supplies, it’ll be time to finally go to the moon. Enter the Lunar Whale. You’ll notice that the Lunar Whale is pretty awesome, it has a control panel (at the top) to navigate it like a normal airship, a Fat Chocobo you can use without using a Gysahl Green, and beds for everyone to act like an inn. But, to get to the moon, you must examine the Crystal inside the Lunar Whale, which will automatically pilot you to the moon. It’s time to find out what all this is about!

When the Lunar Whale reaches the moon, you can navigate freely. However, see that giant blue crystal tower? That’s our next destination. However, unfortunately, you can’t land in front of it. Instead, land just a bit northwest of it, right above a set of stairs in a cliff. Right near you should be a cave, enter it to go through one of the first ‘Lunar Paths’ that we’ll have to traverse to get to that ominous blue tower.

Take note, the monsters on the moon are a good step up from the monsters you’ve encountered previously. You should do just fine with a party with levels ranging in the late 30s, as you’ll level up a lot from the great experience you win here. Remember, Leviathan truly is your friend.

---------------------
5.2 Lunar Paths
---------------------

When you enter the first Lunar Path, take the way to the right near the entrance to a chest that is a monster-in-a-box. You’ll have to fight two Procyotes and two Juclyotes (should be ‘Eucaryote’ and ‘Procaryote’, two types of cells in the body...). They hit hard, so use Leviathan to finish them quickly. You’ll get an ‘Au Apple’ (Gold Apple) for winning, it increases a party member’s HP by 100, a better version of the Silver Apple.

Heal up your characters, and continue on the Lunar Path. Right when you reach the exit, head to the right to two chests. One chest contains a MoonVeil (Moon Veil, hang onto this too!), and another contains a Stardust (a spell item). Go out of the exit, and you’ll be back in another section of the moon’s world map again. Follow the linear path to the next Lunar Path.

From the entrance of the second Lunar Path, head down and go through the linear path to the exit. There isn’t any treasure here.

When you exit again, head west. You’ll soon reach that blue crystal tower.

------------------------
5.3 Crystal Palace
------------------------

In this beatiful place, there are not random encounters, so don’t fret.

Right when you enter, to your left is a path leading to a spot that when stood upon, will refill the party’s HP and heal them of all status ailments. The right path leads to a spot which refills your MP.

When you’re ready to go on, go up the center path. The truth is about to be revealed.

When the crew steps into the center chamber, a voice thanks them for coming. The room starts flashing, and a mysterious bearded, robed man appears on the throne at the center.

Cecil asks who this man is. He replies that he is FuSoYa, guardian of the Lunarians. Rosa inquires as to who the Lunarians are.

FuSoYa explains that eons ago, a planet between Mars and Jupiter was on the brink of destruction, as a meteor crashed into it (this planet later became the asteroid belt) The survivors escaped by ship to the blue planet. Cecil asks if this planet is their home. FuSoYa says that it is, called Earth. However, because the people of Earth were still evolving, the survivors created another moon, where they now sleep.

Edge tries understanding all of this, trying to affirm the situation. FuSoYa says that some Lunarians were relunctant though. One Lunarian even planned to destroy all life on Earth and usurp the planet. The party is appalled at this.

FuSoYa says that he forced him to sleep, but even through long repose, the power of his will continues to grow. His very will has further corrupted evil souls on Earth, inciting them to gather the Crystals. Cecil says Golbez being one of them. Edge asks who this Lunarian is.

FuSoYa says that his name is Zemus. He plans to use the Crystals, the Lunarian’s source of energy, to restore the Tower of Babil and bring down the Giant of Babil to annihilate all life on Earth. FuSoYa assures the party that this is not the Lunarians’ wish. The Lunarians wait quietly for the Earthlings to evolve, and long to commune with them in the future.

Cecil asks how the Lunar Whale came into being. FuSoYa replies that his brother, KluYa made it long ago to travel to the blue planet, which he had longed to visit. He introduced the concept of airships and interdimensional transportation like the Devil’s Road to the Earthlings. He also fell in love with an Earthling woman, and they had two children.

FuSoYa says that Cecil is one of those children.

Cecil is shocked. He now realizes what the voice on Mount Ordeals was. FuSoYa says that it was no doubt the spirit of KluYa. He says that Cecil resembles KluYa greatly.

As Cecil tries absorbing this startling revelation, FuSoYa tells Cecil that KluYa gave him his power to fight Zemus. He says they must stop Zemus for the sake of both their races, and says they must depart for the Tower of Babil.

Edge says that the Tower of Babil is shielded, so they can’t enter. FuSoYa says that he’ll come along and neutralize the barrier. Then, FuSoYa, the Lunarian, joins the party.

You may notice that FuSoYa is pretty kick ass. He has every Black and White magic spell in the game, and comes to your party at level 50 (pretty high, compared to your party which will probably be in the 30s.) He also has a special ability, ‘Regen’ (Regenerate) which will gradually refill the party’s HP. To be honest, this ability is quite worthless, as FuSoYa should be casting spells to aid the party in some fashion, but at least it introduces the ‘Regen’ status to the FF series. Also, reserve three spots in the back row, and put Rosa, Rydia, and FuSoYa in them. Cecil and Edge belong in the front rows of course.

You may go up and speak with the Lunar Crystals for some interesting info, but there really isn’t anything else to do here. Exit the Crystal Palace, and trek back to the Lunar Whale. But DO NOT go back to Earth yet! Instead, operate the control panel on the Lunar Whale. We have some quick things to do on the moon first.
