- Adel: Are you awake, Pong?
- Elsword: Oww...
- Rena: Eeuu... Where are we?
- Aisha: Ponggos?! You are really Ponggos? I heard they all disappeared after the El Explosion!
- Amos: We didn't hide away on purpose, pong. We are trapped on this floating island, Altera, pong.
- Rena: Wait, did you say floating island? Like floating in the sky?
- Adel: Yes, pong. The Black Crows prevent us from leaving, and no one can enter. You were lucky to survive.
- Aisha: My goodness... I had no idea. I can't believe no one noticed a giant island floating in the sky...
- Rena: Black Crows? There was a man with a machine arm commanding the black airship. Is that the right guy?
- Amos: A machine arm? You must be talking about Raven, pong. You guys were really lucky.
- Elsword: ... Is Raven his name?
- Adel: Yes, pong. He is the leader of Black Crows. He and the other Black Crows uses the airship to move to-and-fro Altera and steals El shards and Nasod parts.
- Rena: I heard about them. Apparently an unknown group of bandits were going around pillaging villages. I thought it was a strange rumor, but to think it was true...
- Aisha: If they are using Nasods, is Wally behind them as well?
- Aisha: So the Nasods have control of this area?
- Adel: You are correct, pong. Altera island is ruled by the survivor of the ancient Nasod race, King Nasod, and his army. pong...
- Amos: We Ponggos know Nasod technology, so King Nasod is detaining us to make sure the technology doesn't spread. That's why we live in seclusion, pong.
- Rena: Oh, we're underground. I was wondering why I couldn't see the sky.
- Elsword: You know, replacing body parts with Nasod parts... At first, I thought it was similar to Banthus's arm, but his seemed more... machine-like.
- Rena: He seemed to have suffered through a lot. He was in pain...
- Adel: ... It's no surprise. Those who have been modified with Nasod parts have a mind control device attached to their head, pong.
- Adel: That device caused you to lose your memory of when you were human and leave you under King Nasod's control. Burning with hatred towards humans, pong.
- Aisha: That's horrible...
- Elsword: ... His sword technique, it was precise and without hesitation, like a machine...
- Elsword: ... He's so strong even when he's under control.
- Amos: You said Raven took your El shard? If you are going to fight him, we will help you, pong!
- Aisha: Thank you. The Black Crows seemed strong, not to mention Raven himself. We'll need to approach this carefully. Any ideas?
- Adel: ... How about we neutralize the mind control device, pong? Raven hasn't lost his humanity yet, pong.
- Rena: Huh? Can you tell me more about that?
- Amos: One time... Raven escaped and came to us. He asked us to stop the mind control device so he won't have to be forced to commit atrocious crimes under Nasod control, pong.
- Amos: Before we could do anything, he was discovered by the Nasods and was taken away...
- Rena: That's...
- Adel: Raven was put under harsher control due to his escape attempt, but he still resisted, pong. He refused orders and retreated with the Black Crows, giving us time to escape underground, pong.
- Adel: Even before Raven came to us, we tried to save humans controlled by the mind control device, but no one ever regained their consciousness, pong. However...
- Aisha: You think with a strong will power like his... it might succeed.
- Aisha: Once Raven is no longer under control, do you think he can order the Black Crows directly to stop attacking the Ponggos?
- Adel: It sounds like a possibility, pong.
- Elsword: ...
- Rena: Alright. We'll talk to him.
- Ain: (The Elf, the Magician, and Elsword... I got them all.)
- Ain: (The El Shard... The energy is fading away...)
- Ain: (The right decision is to leave them behind and chase the El stolen from Ruben...)
- Ain: (But the resonance between the El and Elsword that I felt when I first saw him...)
- Ain: (It might be a better investment to watch over him for now.)
- Ain: (I should move them to a safer location.)
- Adel: Are you awake, Pong?
- Elsword: Oww...
- Rena: Eeuu... Where are we?
- Ain: Ah, are you awake? What a relief!
- Ain: The airship crashed, and Elsword was nowhere to be found... I had to follow the wreckage to find you here. Imagine my surprise when they told me you were found unconscious by the village entrance.
- Elsword: Yeah... If it ween't for you saving us, it would have been a disaster. Thank you.
- Ain: ...?
- Aisha: Ponggos?! You are really Ponggos? I heard they all disappeared after the El Explosion!
- Amos: We didn't hide away on purpose, pong. We are trapped on this floating island, Altera, pong.

- Ain: (El Shards...?)
- Rena: I heard about them. Apparently an unknown group of bandits were going around pillaging villages. I thought it was a strange rumor, but to think it was true...
- Aisha: If they are using Nasods, is Wally behind them as well?
- Ain: That lord? He didn't look that competent.
- Aisha: So the Nasods have control of this area?
- Adel: You are correct, pong. Altera island is ruled by the survivor of the ancient Nasod race, King Nasod, and his army. pong...
- Amos: We Ponggos know Nasod technology, so King Nasod is detaining us to make sure the technology doesn't spread. That's why we live in seclusion, pong.
- Rena: Oh, we're underground. I was wondering why I couldn't see the sky.
- Ain: (Altera Island... An island floating with the power of the El, and the last destination of the Nasod War of the past.)
- Ain: (After the war, every Nasod was bereft of El energy and stopped operating. That's when they went extinct.)
- Ain: (But they are still active here? ... This is going to complicate things.)
- Elsword: You know, replacing body parts with Nasod parts... At first, I thought it was similar to Banthus's arm, but his seemed more... machine-like.
- Rena: He seemed to have suffered through a lot. He was in pain...
- Adel: ... It's no surprise. Those who have been modified with Nasod parts have a mind control device attached to their head, pong.
- Adel: That device caused you to lose your memory of when you were human and leave you under King Nasod's control. Burning with hatred towards humans, pong.
- Aisha: That's horrible...
- Ain: (To be controlled by the very race that they created. How ironic.)
- Elsword: ... His sword technique, it was precise and without hesitation, like a machine...
- Elsword: ... He's so strong even when he's under control.
- Amos: You said Raven took your El shard? If you are going to fight him, we will help you, pong!

- Ain: You better be careful. You did technically lose before.
