Crono, Frog, and the third character are in Ayla's hut. She's as hyperactive as ever. Crono gets up first, followed by the third character.

Robo: Ayla-san.
Which means this IS....

Frog gets up slowly.

Ayla: Ayla wanted meet.
Went Mystery Mountain.
Yous were falled down.
Ayla carried everyone
herself, brought to tent.

Frog wakes up a bit more and jumps, waving his sword around.

Ayla: This frog huge.
Present? Can Ayla eat?

Frog: Wh, why you!
More importantly, that pale-faced
caped lowlife wasn't there!?

Ayla: No, just yous.
That one tastier than you?

Frog calms down a bit and puts his sword away.

Marle: But if Magus didn't bring
forth Lavos....
Just how long has Lavos...?

Lucca: Come to think of it, Magus
was saying Lavos has existed
since ancient times long ago....

Robo: The records that say Magus
produced Lavos WERE mistaken.
Then, when MIGHT the actual time
of Lavos's birth BE?

Ayla: Lavos?
Forget that, rest good.
Yous full of wounds.

Ayla walks out of the tent, and everyone goes to sleep. When they wake up later, Kino walks in.

Kino: Healthy, Cros?
Ayla hard time now.
Searching Laruba Village.
Join strength with Laruba Village,
have final battle with Dinomen!
If not destroy Dinomen, Kinos
destroyed.

A generic villager rushes in.

Kino: What wrong!? Cros resting.
Make quiet!

Kino: What happen!   Villager: Somebody set up us the bomb!   ...okay, that's enough "all your base" references....

メラ (mera) is probably from メラメラ (meramera), bursting into flame.

Kino jumps at the news and rushes out. Better follow him....

The trading hut has new weapons for everyone except Frog. His damage starts to lag a bit, but the high critical rate makes up for it. Anyhow, a large part of the forest northwest of Ioka is now burnt out, revealing a small village. The village itself is ruined, but some villagers are still around. People Who Abandoned the Desire to Live plays. As Crono enters the village, one of the villagers cries out.

Further into the ruins, Ayla is talking to the apparent leader.

Elder: Ayla... this all your fault....
Look, how this is....
Dinomen followed after you!
That why this village suffer like this!

Ayla: ......
Sorry... Ayla careless....

Elder: Opposing Dinomen foolish!
Dinomen on this earth from
more long ago than us.
That why we were hiding.
But Ayla say fight together....
Ayla say fight even if suffer
like this!?

Ayla: If alive, Ayla fight!
Winners live. Losers die.
That law of this earth.
Dinomen too, Aylas too, all
living thing no can defy this law.
Elder, yous not alive.
Just not dead.

Elder: Ayla, you strong....
That why can say that.
We not have strength....

Ayla: That wrong!
Fight because have power, wrong.
Power come because fight!
Aylas lend power.
That why Pteran!
Need Pteran now.
Lend Pteran.

Actually, that's how things usually work in RPGs... you don't fight because you're strong, you get strong because you fight....

Elder: Pteran...?
You want go in Tyran Castle!?
That place Dinomen's castle.
Danger! Even if Ayla!
Want to die?

Ayla: Wrong, want to live, so go.
Ayla fine. Depend on you!

Elder: ...okay.
I tell those who care for Pteran.
Go Pteran nest.
Ayla be careful!

Ayla leaves. Crono follows.

First are a few cliffs to climb, with monsters as usual. Primeval Mountain plays. At the top of the mountain, Ayla shrieks, and a pterodactyl lands in front of her. What looks like a bright red star is also visible in the sky.

Lucca: Isn't it awfully cold of you
to go on your own?

Marle: Trying to go and leave us
behind, you can't do that!

Frog: You plan on going alone?
I don't understand the situation
too well, but if you're Crono's
friend, you're my friend....
I can't let you do such a thing
as facing death alone.

Ayla: No! Tyran Castle danger!!
All might die!!

Lucca: ......
I don't like the idea of skipping
out on owing someone a favor.
Right, Crono?

Marle: No!
Now we really can't let you go alone!!
You're really helped us out, for one
thing....
This time it's our turn to repay you.
Right, Crono?

Frog: Then you intend to die alone?
We were saved by you earlier....
Many times already people have
died thanks thanks to me....
We're going, Crono.

Lucca: Come on, we're going!
Now, on to Tyran Castle!!

Marle: Let's go, Ayla!
To Tyran Castle!!

Robo: Then LET US go!
To Tyran Castle!!

Ayla calls two more Pteran. After the player chooses which character will go with Crono and Ayla, the three of them board the Pteran and lift off. The red star glitters ominously.... Ayla is required to be the second character in the active party until further notice.
