Welcome to the night of Wonderland.
I am Cid, an inventor.
According to Lisa, Kaze's Magun can give birth to the energy of
special Summon Beasts through the use of a driller and Soil bullets.
With the use of different kinds of Soil,
he can supposedly summon a variety of different beasts.
Oh, I'd love to see that sometime.
There is also the vapor-like gas called Mist, which produces energy through linear motion.
Then there are Elenium Condensers, which extract energy from Wonderland water.
Still others, like June and Nene, extract energy from potatoes.
And so on and so forth.
There are many energies in the world of Wonderland.
Incidentally, our submarine, Jane,
can not only travel at a top speed which exceeds 500,000 peseta knots,
but her attitude control nozzles installed on her hull allow her to be piloted with incredible ease!
Daichi ni sosogu yoake
The light of dawn pours over the vast Earth

And marks the beginning of our journey
Mirai wo mezashi kaketeyuku kaze
With our eyes on the future
Kono mune ni suikonda
I deeply breathe in the rushing wind
Yume dake wo kizamitsuketa hitomi
The eyes that could only speak in dreams

Presented us with the path we're to take

Awaken the unlimited courage inside of us
Welcome to the sea of Wonderland.
I am Fabula, your guide.
Traveling deep through the sea,
together with trusty comrades.
But Pist controls the Ocean Puzzle to trap them
and leads them into a maze beyond any known dimensions.
Don't give up, my courageous travelers.
Well then! Are you ready?!
Please be sure to have fun in my incredibly cool attractions!
Where is this place?
Have we landed on some island somewhere?
Cid, what's going on here?
I have absolutely no clue.
We are trapped somewhere inside a cube-shaped space!
Maybe this is the cube from the Ocean Puzzle that guy Pist told us about.
We're on land!
There's no way we can move forward like this, is there?
What's going on?
I've got a bad, eerie feeling about all this.
You guys...
Must be very eager to escape the sea of Wonderland.
Is it a mermaid?!
It's huge.
Who are you?! One of the Earl's henchmen?
I am Somosan, one who loves wisdom.
Wisdom?
Now I will present you with riddles.
For every question you answer right, I will take you that much closer to reaching your goal.
But for every time you guess wrong,
you will move towards falling into the endless darkness of Chaos.
The darkness of Chaos...
How does that sound?
It's quite a peaceful solution, wouldn't you say?
Decide.
Three among you must be chosen to determine the fate of the group.
This is a trap. I'm sure of it!
Yeah, but she's saying that she doesn't want to fight, so...
I'll do it! This too is a battle for the sake of order!
What about Kaze?
No way.
He doesn't seem the least bit smart to me.
Just for safety's sake, Cid, we'll have you stay back here.
All right, you'll be going up against the three of us!
I can practically smell your intellects.
Hey, I heard you possess that special Kigen Arts power.
It's something that we can use here, right?
Well...
Is that kind of thing normal in the world that you come from?
Something about your smile bothers me, you know.
It looks like you're trying to hide something.
Who shall go first?
I will have each of you answer three questions.
I'm going first!
I will solve any riddle you give me!
How promising.
Let's begin! Time for the first question!
In the beginning it has four legs.
Next it has two legs,
and in the end it has three legs.
What living creature does this describe?!
This riddle is...
It's just a normal riddle?!
Me, me, me! I know the answer to this one!
I thought this was going to be difficult, but this riddle is so simple.
The answer is...
A human!
In the beginning it is a baby crawling,
then it becomes an adult who walks on two legs,
and in old age he walks with a cane for his third leg.
How is that?!
Incorrect!
The correct answer is the Wonderland bacteria, Hemora!
What is that?!
We don't know about that kind of stuff!
We really are moving towards the bottom of the puzzle, space and all!
This is the Ocean Puzzle.
We can only be saved by answering correctly!
You should be very afraid!
Every time you move down, your fear makes Chaos stronger, and it moves the puzzle further!
Moving on to the second question!
What is quick to cry,
likes to sing and dance,
and is always swimming in the ocean?
What is that?!
Of course I know this one!
The answer is...
Something that is quick to cry, sings and dances,
it is the Wonderland fish, the Maimai!
Incorrect!
The correct answer is Ocean TV!
We've fallen again!
What is Ocean TV?! What is that?!
This quiz isn't fair at all!
Knave, are you sure you've got this one?!
Hang in there!
For the third question,
I will use all of the knowledge I have attained in Wonderland!
And the third question!
This living creature runs on land,
but its feet never touch the ground.
What is it?!
I must be sure to think conceptually.
Isn't it a car?
Oh no, it couldn't be that. This is Wonderland.
Oh, I've got it!
The answer is the incredible fast animal of Wonderland,
the Bicharing!
Incorrect!
The correct answer is the driver of a car.
What the heck?!
Knave!
Oops,
I forgot to tell you that whoever answers all three questions incorrectly
will turn into a puddle of water, just like that!
How's that?
I'd be extra careful from now on.
Knave is...
Is he dead?
So who will be next?
I will.
No! I, the soldier Miles, will be your next opponent!
Well then, what a brave little girl.
Thinking of your friends and exerting yourself. How noble.
Now, shall we begin?
Bring it on!
The first question!
The second question!
The third question!
Knave, Miles...
It seems you are all alone now.
It will all be over soon.
Once you fall, it will be to the bottom of the darkness of Chaos.
You will never rise from it again.
Chaos...
The bottom of darkness?
It looks like the next question will decide all of your fates.
Lisa! You can do it!
Don't lose!
And now, the question!
Wow! I hope that cute one gives us a good show.
These guys aren't any good at all.
Look at me. I've gotten all the questions right so far.
I could have guessed that, Your Excellency.
You're the quiz king of Wonderland.
They are all common sense questions about Wonderland.
If they don't know the answer to such easy questions,
they are not worthy of living in Wonderland.
Incorrect!
Lisa!
If you get the next one wrong, we're going to drop into the bottom of the darkness!
At last it is time for the final question.
A face is growing from the middle of its hair.
When it drinks water, it breathes fire.
Some say it looks like a living creature and some say it looks like a machine.
What is it?!
Give me your answer!
Do you know it?
She doesn't know.
Come on, come on!
Well...
Come on, come on, come on!
What an ugly face.
Don't think you can trick me and get out of this with that smile.
Wait! Give me a little more time!
I'm putting all my thoughts together.
Please, just a little longer.
Lisa! Quit trying to avoid the issue by laughing and take this seriously!
Sis, Lisa is just trying to buy a little more time!
Yeah, that's right. I am always...
Mom!
Even though it was to help the town...
If you use your life spirit recklessly,
you'll end up like me.
Mom!
Don't forget this!
The Kigen Arts are always on your side.
A brave heart will always find the energy to save others.
So let me see you laugh.
Thank you.
You must never forget that smile, Lisa.
Mom...
Mom... Hey, I'm laughing.
Hey, Mom, say something.
Mom...
After that I moved to the neighboring country.
Even though I was surrounded there by unfamiliar settings and people,
I protected myself by always putting on a false smile.
That is why this smile is fake.
It's a big lie that I only use when I'm in trouble.
Come! Time is almost up!
What should I do? Mom...
Don't laugh.
Kaze!
Since when?!
No way, does Mister think he's going to answer the quiz?!
None of it means anything.
Meaning?
Really? I see.
It is just like the camouflage that I use.
Looks like you can't come up with an answer!
No.
There were never any answers, to any of the questions.
That's my answer!
You're just putting together words that make no sense,
and no matter what we answer, you have no intention of saying it's correct.
All of your questions are just tricks.
No one has ever been able to answer...
Lisa...
Awesome!
I've won! Now release our submarine!
The day I lose is the day this cube is destroyed.
I'm going to take you all down with me!
You've tricked us, haven't you?!
If they are lives you want to protect at all costs...
If it is for their sake, I won't stop you.
I won't stop you from using the spirit of your life.
The spirit of the rushing water...
I will transform my life into spiritual energy.
I'm sorry, Ai, Yu.
I thought I would be able to help you until you were reunited with your parents, but...
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Lisa!
Thanks to you, we were able to come back to life.
Lisa!
I'm still alive?
Even though I used the spirit of my life?
The spirit of your life probably reacted with
the water of Wonderland to give birth to a huge energy source.
It was like a Summon beast.
If it comes from you, we have to call it a Kigen Dragon, right?
I'm just so glad that you are all okay!
Thank you.
What? That laughing face!
See, I knew you could laugh for real.
It looks much better!
What about Kaze?!
He's with us!
Look, he's over there.
So you've cleared the first stage, have you?
Let's move right along then!
Start the second stage!
And now the journey begins

Final Fantasy: Unlimited
Here is my prophecy.
You mustn't give up, Cid.
You are the only one who can solve the riddle of the Ocean Puzzle
and save the lost travelers from the mud of Chaos.
Next time, I will return to offer you my Unlimited guidance.
