The group finally returns to Shang Tu to report their findings, bringing along a piece of one of Serpentine's machines, made of materials uncommon on Avalice, as evidence of an otherworldly plot. Shuigang's airships attempt to intercept and shoot down their airship, but are beaten back. He eventually agrees, sending them off in one of his airships in the direction of Shang Tu. They meet with Mayor Zao of Shang Mu and try to convince him to work with Shang Tu and the Magister in recovering the Stone by appealing to his desire for glory. After finishing off the Robopanther from outside the Shang Mu mall, they arrive too late once again as Dail and Brevon's forces effortlessly steal the Kingdom Stone from Shang Mu and fly off. Distracted by Spade, who reveals his true allegiance in the Kingdom Stone theft was to his brother Dail and not Zao, and Serpentine, a snake with mechanical arms who serves as Brevon's chief enforcer. The next morning, the Royal Magister, having been informed of the theft by General Gong, sends Lilac's group to recover the Stone from Zao. After this, she, Lilac and Milla all agree to help Torque reclaim the Kingdom Stone and stop Brevon's plans before it's too late. In doing this, he will use its energy to power his space fortress to continue his galactic conquest. Brevon intends to use the chaos of the war as a distraction so he can steal the Kingdom Stone for himself. To accomplish this, he invaded Shuigang, murdered its king, and brainwashed Dail to do his bidding, convincing him that Mayor Zao was the murderer and getting him to declare war on Shang Mu. Brevon crash landed on Avalice after a fierce battle, and is working on getting his dreadnought operational once more. That night, Carol discovers that Torque is not who he claims to be when she and Lilac press him on it, he reveals that he is, in fact an alien sent to Avalice to apprehend an intergalactic warlord, Lord Arktivus Brevon. However, Carol is saved by the timid wild child Milla Basset, a basset hound, who had been tailing the pair with the intent of meeting a dragon. The theft of the stone causes a cave-in, which briefly separates Lilac and Carol, the latter being trapped inside and pinned by rubble. However, they arrive just in time to watch the Kingdom Stone be stolen by Spade, a professional thief and assassin, Dail's half-brother, and Lilac and Carol's sworn rival who steals it for Mayor Zao, as part of his own plan to discover the truth of his father's murder. The two rush to the Kingdom's shrine to protect it only to be briefly stymied by Shang Tu's officers, General Gong and the priestess Neera Li, who refuse to believe their claims of a theft plot. The three nations: Shuigang, which has become aggressive and warmongering following the death of its king and the rise of his son, the mentally unstable Prince Dail the city of Shang Mu, whose wealth-obsessed leader Mayor Zao is desperate to solve a recent energy crisis and Shang Tu, an air city whose Royal Magister is not well-versed in war. In doing so, they become embroiled in a brewing conflict between three nations of their planet, Avalice. He asks for help rescuing the Kingdom Stone, a very valuable relic that contains untold amounts of energy. Fed up with Brevon's schemes, she eagerly jumps into action to save Avalice. It's discovered that the pilot is a turtle-shelled, duck-billed man named Torque.ĭuring this Lilac unwittingly catapults herself to the forefront of the impending conflict. When Lilac spots a plane hurtling out of her way into the countryside, she selflessly rushes to rescue the pilot. She and Lilac were on their way to Kingdom Stone a wealthy place where they were going to steal enough funds to sustain themselves for the year. While she can fight effectively in enclosed spaces where wall jumping can be used to avoid hazards, she has far fewer options when fighting in open areas. Speedrunning is difficult as Carol unless she obtains a motorcycle as quickly as possible and avoids taking damage, as it will break after 3 hits. Collecting Gas Cans will cause her to summon a motorcycle that increases her speed and attack power and replaces her pounce with a damage-dealing spin attack.Ĭarol's main weaknesses are her lack of vertical reach, her lack of ranged attacks and her dependency on the environment for most of her abilities. Mobility-wise, she can scale walls by repeatedly wall jumping, and she can also use specialized Jump Pads that warp her to predetermined locations in each stage. She can also pounce forward for a quick burst of speed, and attacking right after a pounce will combo it into a strong claw attack. Her special attack, the Wild Kick, grants her brief invulnerability, making it a great option for countering enemy attacks. Carol is an agile fighter that attacks with rapid-fire punches and kicks.
