I might have gotten the order kinda twisted. This is from memory and I played this part like a month ago. ANYWAY, the ground starts shaking and OUT COMES A..... giant....
Well, Mr tiger needs to stay behind to guard the crashed sandflier so bandits don't get it. (I despise those Jawas. Disgusting creatures). Let's send the princess to go find help. Because royalty knows how to interact with the lower echelon. This totes can't go wrong.
So anyway princess birdfeather travels through an expansive desert . She comes across a merchant that gets sucked into a sink hole. So she looks over the edge to see, and FALLS IN. Then she gets attacked by a scary dragon-werewolf looking thing. She has wings. She fell in a hole. A HOLE.
Anyway, the dragon roars and flies off. She notices a naked dude. (The main character? who I'm 73.67 percent sure was just birthed from the dragon thing. Anywho, he gets dressed and doesn't really know his shit so Nina's all, "you're a completely perfect stranger that I don't know, but SURE come hang with me it'll be mad netflix and chill." They leave and travel through this giant ass desert of death (there are monsters and bugs and lots of SUN).
During one scene Nina plummets like a brick down a cliff. Ryu jumps down after her, only to pass by here because she used her wings. They bond.
Using the moon as a framing device, the camera switches to this badass emperor dude (Fou Lu) that's a dragon who's like a billion years old. Older than Christ would potentially apply, but that involves Christ being in this universe, and as of yet, that's not super feasible. This dude is awesome. I killed lots of T Rexes like they were nothing. Oh... I'm the legendary Dragon of Doom. I also speak in shakespearean tongue. I'm being hunted by the imperial army of the time like I had the hidden plans for the Death Star. The woods are set on fire in a hope that *that* will kill me. I mean, C'mon, if I'm a super old king dragon dude, who the hell thought it was a good idea to be like, "let's use fire!!" That's like giving a chemo patient hair clippers for a congrats on losing your hair from radiation present. Bad Ass God Emperor gets trapped on a rope bridge. By Yohm General of the Imperial Army who uses an ifrit style summon to knock me off the bridge...fade to black...
Back to Nina and Ryu... they come to a town, and after some wandering due to both camera and control issues, I end up in a bar. 'Barkeep fetch me some sandflier parts!"
Nah bro, this is a bar. We serve beverages. and food.
*fuzziness of the memory for a bit*
You get in a fight with some dude, and ultimately end up going behind the bar to the "black market". Worst black market ever. Dude literally in the supply closet of the bar. Cops would NEVER think to look there. He's all like, go into the desert ship grave yard and get your own stuff. So, you do.
(I was wrong, bar fight happens after you collect the parts and come back)
BOSS FIGHT!!!
You're literally fighting a genie from the bottle lookin' guy. KICK HIS ASS BRO!!!
ftw.
Ryu jumps in and attacks Boss Genie's master. After slashing at him, you and Nina GTFO quick!
The party finds themselves in the middle of the desert being closed in by Imperial troops. How the hell did the army find you to be able to surround you? This seems like a serious misuse of manpower. A merchant that you helped at the bar comes to your rescue and smuggles you out to a town called Chamba. Deus Ex Machina.
