The party travel in time to the [[Prehistory]], meet [[Ayla]], and eventually obtain some Dreamstone. They then travel back to the Present and show it to Melchior. He says that he can now reforge it, though is perplexed that they were able to obtain both the Masamune and Dreamstone. He eventually finishes reforging the sword and gives it to the party, which they then take to [[Frog]] in the Middle Ages. | The party travel in time to the [[Prehistory]], meet [[Ayla]], and eventually obtain some Dreamstone.

When the party is in the Antiquity, they are asked by [[Schala]] to save Melchior, who is trapped on the [[Mountain of Woe]]. They head to the mountain, defeat [[Giga Gaia]], and free Melchior from a barrier that constrained him. They say his name, which surprises him as he has never met them before and asks of [[Queen Zeal]] and the [[Ocean Palace]]. They tell him that it is still being constructed and that the Queen plans on moving the Mammon Machine from [[Zeal Palace]] to the Ocean Palace to get closer to Lavos. Hearing this, he says that it seems the more energy the Mammon Machine absorbs from [[Lavos]], the further the Queen descends into madness and that Lavos is overtaking her soul. The mountain then begins to collapse, so they flee to [[Algetty]]. The mountain breaks from the chain holding it in the air, and it collapses into the ocean. | |||
At Algetty, Melchior tells the party that Lavos is sleeping beneath the earth's surface, absorbing the planet's energy. The Mammon Machine, being so close to him, could awaken him. He tells them that they must hurry and make sure the machine is not activated. Schala and [[Janus]] then arrive at the village and tells Melchior that the construction of the Ocean Palace has completed. She tells Melchior that she refuses to activate the machine and asks the party to stop the Queen from activating the machine. [[Dalton]] then enters and disappears to with Janus and Schala, saying that Schala will activate the machine or die. Melchior then tells the party that if the Queen's plans come to fruition, then there will be no hope for life. The party offers to prevent this from happening, and says that they risk their lives for the Antiquity's people time and again, and yet he still does not know their name. They joke that he will help them someday as well, though is confused at hearing this. Before they leave, he gives them the [[Ruby Knife]], which he says was made from the same "red stone" the Mammon Machine was made from. | |||
When the party arrive at the Ocean Palace, they see [[Masa]], who tells them that Dreamstone has been used throughout the ages and that the Mammon Machine, the [[Pendant]], and the Ruby Knife were made from it. He goes on to say that he and [[Mune]] are the embodiment of Melchior's hope sealed within the knife. | |||
When the party arrive at the Mammon Machine, they throw it into it, transforming the knife into the Masamune. | |||
