AEHU/Plot/Plot Sketch Chapter 28

"Untitled Wittel Chapter"

Robo leads the rest of Wittel's party to Wittel's and Glenn's location per instruction from 2400AG Robo and Belthasar. Everyone rejoices and learns more about Dream Schala. Robo senses something may be wrong, since all available records and theories indicate that Schala has never been freed from the Dream Devourer. Magus dismisses Robo's concerns.

Raqh and his cult are causing an immediate crisis in Guardia that needs to be resolved, and Dream Schala somehow saves Leene together with Magus. Dream Schala calls Raqh out on his hypocritical moral code (a matter that Raqh takes very seriously, because his wish to save as many people as possible is pure) and confronts him as a guest with Wittel's party, against Magus' wishes. She uses all of Magus' old Chrono Trigger skills, which shouldn't go unnoticed by the player (especially since Schala has only Lightning and healing techs in her chapters). This endears everyone to Dream Schala except Robo, who still thinks something weird is up. However, Raqh unleashes Masamune's full capability and causes insane destruction. He seems to deliver a killing blow to Dream Schala, but she's miraculously unphased (further evidence that she's not all as she seems). Magus throws himself into the battle to intervene, and in his weak state barely manages to get everyone out through a spatial distortion. Raqh tells his followers that the time of deliverance is nigh, and the survivors of his Guardian sect begin the pilgrimage to Giant's Claw.

At Fiona's villa, Wittel's party and Magus/Dream Schala come to the conclusion that Raqh must be stopped somehow, Dream Schala leading the discussion out of pure concern for innocent life. They know that Levantine is the key due to its ability to disable Shadow Realm phenomena(such as the dream creatures residing in the Masamune). Wittel remembers that Artemis went after Dalton to acquire it.
