Chapter 5 – Dark Clouds
Ardyn drops off Noctis’ team at the nearby chocobo ranch. However, the gang need their car to travel, so they call Cindy asking her to go look for it, despite knowing full well that the Imperials likely took it. Several days of waiting later, Gentiana – The Summon Shiva, and servant of the Oracle – appears for a moment to cryptically tell Noctis’ team that Luna is about to awaken Ramuh, and to go to Altissia after she does. She then tells Noctis in secret (again, cryptically) to locate three Runestones hidden around Duscae (though she does not say that this is to awaken Ramuh). Noctis’ retainers determine that they can reach Altissia by using a hidden boat in Caem. Gladiolous says he’ll have Iris set it up (we never see him call). But, in the meantime they should go locate Ramuh. After finding the first Runestone, Gentiana urges Noctis to hurry as the empire is going to try and stop him. Two Runestones later, Noctis acquires Ramuh’s power.
Cindy then calls Noctis saying that the car is in an imperial base (it isn’t specified which one). The gang decides to go after it ASAP before the empire moves it. After locating the base, Ignis decides to infiltrate stealthily. So, the gang waits till nightfall, successfully destroys the enemy forces, and reclaims the Regalia. Before they can get inside, however, Ravus – Luna’s older brother and commander of the imperial army – appears to issue meaningless threats and goad a fight with Noctis. But, Ardyn materializes before a fight can break out to shoo away Ravus and protect Noctis. (He also does so quite deftly, lying to both parties about when he’ll next see Noctis so that he can assist him again in the near future while avoiding imperial detection).
Noctis and co. return to Lestallum (no reason for this is given) and find out at the inn that Iris is still there. Imperials came in the night looking for Noctis, but no one said anything so they killed Jared. Iris states that she’ll take Talcott with her to Caem because they can’t stay in Lestallum while Noctis swears revenge for Jared.
