Begin Into the Hollow: Volume 1? You won't be able to switch maps for a while.
Who are you?
The hollow time has awakened. After a long, silent battle of time, the counterstrike is finally signalled.
Hollow time?
Yes, Kamlanage. I came here for you. Take my hand and come with me...
My son.
What?!
I've been waiting for this moment for so long. The time is finally nigh for the Chronos Empire to strike back.
I'm glad you came, Aldo. Is everything okay?
Hello there, Wait a minute, Ashtear?!
Hello, Aldo.
Um... What are you doing here?
I called her. I wanted to talk to her about something.
Oh, right... You two know each other, don't you?
Yes. She helped me out a lot when I was making Time's Forgotten Stop.
Exactly. You're only here because I was here first. It was yours truly, the genius Ashtear, who made that Gate Holder outside.
It was? I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
So if we're done talking, I'll be on my way.
Thanks for coming all this way. I'll leave the rest to you.
Oh, nothing much.
I've been thinking. After our Eastern adventure, Professor Madoka and Eden returned to the ocean of time. But in her final moments, she said to me that we'd meet again.
So we can't give up. We may not have any leads so far...but there has to be a way. And I'm going to keep... looking until I find it.
I see...
The others and I have been flying about on Hydra. That's actually what I was doing before I stopped by here.
I wish you luck. All I can do is keep watch here.
Don't say that. You're always helping me.
So...is there anything else? Noticed anything different lately?
Different? Hmm... Actually...
There is something?
How to explain it? It's like, I've been having this really foreboding feeling... Like something huge is about to happen.
......
But it's just a hunch. Well, I'd best be off now. Everyone will be waiting for me.
Don't let your guard down, Aldo.
Huh?
Perhaps you're in the calm before the storm. And your sense of foreboding...is the coming storm.
Yeah, I know. See you later.
A foreboding feeling, eh? Having crossed space and time so often, perhaps you can hear it... The great whispers of time.
The true battle, the time war, has already started. It's all up to you. The future of our planet is in... your hands, Aldo.

Aldo! Aldo, are you okay?
Yeah, somehow. My head's still spinning though.
Last thing I remember is a huge battleship appearing out of thin air and attacking us. It was timed so well, it must have been an ambush.
Hmph. When someone throws down the gauntlet, we pick it right up.
Oh, Guildna. We've got more pressing matters to worry about right now.
Précisément. We need to find out where we are first.
Yes, I remember seeing a huge hole in the sky open up when we were fleeing from that battleship...
And we fell through it.
Which would mean that this isn't our world?
No, I dare say it is not. This forest does appear most different from our own.
I do not detect any anomalies in atmospheric composition or gravity. The hazard index is all clear!
But what about Hydra? Is he okay? If he crashed to the ground...
No need to worry, Feinne. It takes more than a little crash to hurt Hydra. Why don't we take... a look around?
Yeah, I think that's our only option right now. But keep on your toes, everyone. Who knows what's out there?
You will be unable to switch between maps for a while.

12 linesHm?
What is it, Aldo?
I thought I heard a strange noise...
Oh yeah! I think it's getting closer!
It's coming from over there!
Wh-What is that? It's moving so fast!
Hmm... It was long and slender, yet segmented. A giant caterpillar, perchance?
Eww gross! I hope not!
It didn't look like a creature. A vehicle, perhaps?
But I've never seen a vehicle like that. It looked nothing like a bus...
Interesting. Let's run like the wind. If it's a vehicle, we should ride it!
Why do you sound so excited about that?
