Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (240)

Just now the Rune Codes Claude is carrying suddenly emitted a strong glow, so Rena was startled; however, for some reason she sounds like it's Claude's fault (unless she's talking to the Rune Codes here, which would be even more stupid).

It's a non-stop journey for our heroes, and we've fast-forwarded a bit, but don't worry: here's a summary of what we've missed so far.

Finally at the top of the mountain, the group could see some ancient ruins in the distance, but while they were walking on the bridge that led there, guess what? No, the bridge didn't collapse... A gargantuan monster appeared before their eyes, blocking the path. Actually, it looked like an android heap of scrap metal with a funny voice (or at least that's how I imagined it talked); it said that our heroes had passed the test of power... so far. Of course the last part of the test was to beat said android to pieces, which they did easily, thanks to the Eternal Sphere. The way to the ruins was then freed.

Walking up to the small ruins, they could immediately see what appeared to be the Jewel of Power, but they could only get their hands on it after watching anoter vision: this time it was about Claude's adolescence, and his career in the Earth Federation under his father's shadow. 'No! I never wanted special treatment!', said Claude, but that wasn't what most people around him thought, but that we knew from the very start of the game. I can't remember what Rena saw, but there goes; Claude and Rena finally got the Jewel of Power, and everyone worked their way down the mountain (a process possibly involving avalanches, but they declined to comment on that).

Feeling strong of their success in the Field of Power, our heroes decided to press on and tackle the next one, the Field of Courage. So here they are, inside of a cave with multiple paths, and even more monsters inside.
