"It's me, Ark! It's me, Ark! It was ME all along, Ark!"
Not this shit again.
Chapter 4: Resurrection of the Hero
Inside a house, Princess Elle sits at a table. A baby that looks like Ark is asleep in a bed, and Elle tends to him. The baby looks suspiciously like Ark, and we learn that Princess Elle found the baby crying in a field in Storkolm. She has named the baby Ark due to the baby's resemblance to him. As Elle goes out to look for some food, the other Elle - Elle from Crysta - enters the house and is ordered to kill the baby as this was why she was brought from Crysta to the above world. It appears that Ark was resurrected as a baby. Elle from Crysta takes the baby from the bed before Princess Elle can return, and Princess Elle is shocked to find out that the baby is gone.
Elle from Crysta has brought the baby to an underground chamber, and is ordered to stop hesitating and kill Ark. It is then that the two Elles meet, and we find out that the voice ordering Elle from Crysta to kill Ark was none other than Yomi. Now we know why Yomi knew the password to Dr. Beruga's computer: Yomi was in on it all along, too.
Yomi orders Darkside Elle to kill Lightside Elle. As this happens, Kumari reaches Ark through telepathy and tells him to wake up, as all the living things in the world await his awakening. The great tree Ra also speaks to Ark, telling him the earth is screaming and that he should save the planet. Leim also reaches you through telepathy, and even he knows that the world has gone awry. He asks you to give courage to the world. The Kingbird also speaks to Ark, saying that the sky is crying and the tears are filthy. Kumari then tells you that plants and animals are with you even though you cannot converse with them, and tells you once again that the world awaits your awakening. Ark transforms back into an adult and returns to his normal self, and Ark's resurrection is complete.
Yomi is displeased, and says that he was to kill Ark when he has resurrected Beruga, but he bided his time as he thought he would find the hero. Now that Ark is the hero, nothing will be able to stop "us" when Ark is killed, and the earth will be reborn by the hand of not the Elder, but Dark Gaia, also known as "the Devil" by humans. We finally know who the highest power is in all of this!
Yomi orders Darkside Elle to kill Ark, but Elle refuses and leaves. Head north and talk to Darkside Elle, and she tells you she only wanted to meet you again...but not like this. She tells you she was ordered to kill someone on the surface world endangering Crysta. She had no idea that it was Ark.
Yomi shows up and tries to kill Ark himself, and Ark has no idea why Yomi would turn on him. Yomi finally explains everything: Ark was just a pawn in the Elder and Dark Gaia's scheme to recreate the world in their image. Yomi then says that the Elder's word is absolute, and finally tries to kill Ark. Yomi creates an earthquake that stuns Ark, but Elle rushes up to Yomi, tells Ark to save the surface world, and then sacrifices herself along with Yomi. After saying that she wanted to be with Ark forever, Elle dies along with Yomi as they are both sucked into a portal, killing both of them. Ark wonders if the world would have remained peaceful if he had not opened the box that day, but realizes it doesn't matter even though he wishes for things to be as it once was.
