Star Ocean EX

After an asteroid crashes onto the planet of Expel, strange things begin to happen. Natural disasters happen with greater frequency and monsters begin to appear. A legend states that a warrior will come to save their planet with a sword of light.

After saving her life, Rena takes Claude to her village, Arlia, where she has him wait at the church for her to get the town elder.

Claude arrives at Alen's house but finds that the front door is locked. Yuki appears from behind the house and shows him another way in.

Rena and Claude decide to visit the king in Cross, who tells them that the battles with the monsters on the continent of El, where the Sorcery Globe landed, are still going on.

Rena, Claude, and Celine discover a sign pointing them in the direction of a town called Mars. Celnie tells them that this town is a town of Heraldic sorcerers like her. Then Celine notices a bog crawling on her hand and runs away. That is when Claude and Rena hear someone scream. They go see what the trouble is and find some bandits trying to steal a stagecoach full of children.

Because of the dragons attached to Ashton's back, Ashton decides to join Claude's gang in search of the Tears of the King to remove the dragon, Gyoro and Ururun behind his back.
