On the eve of their return home, the Unicorn Brigade came under a night attack at [[Tenzan Pass]]. Attempting to flee, the hero and Jowy discovered that the raid was not conducted by the [[City-State of Jowston]], but by [[Luca Blight]] under the guise of an attack, a betrayal. The two were eventually corned on a cliff by Captain [[Rowd]]~~. With no other choice, they made a mark on a nearby rock and promise to meet again here if they ever get separated before jumping desperately into the rapids below~~.

There, they found [[Leknaat]], the guardian of [[Gate Rune]]. Encouraging them to enter further, both the hero and Jowy were shown the memories of their peaceful childhood and their failures in protecting those they cared for. Desiring the power to protect people, the hero would gain the [[Bright Shield Rune]], changing his destiny forever.

Making his way to [[Muse City]], the hero continued to fight in Viktor's mercenary army. A reconnaissance mission at the [[Muse-Highland Border]] ended disastrously with the capture of Jowy. Even Jowy's eventual escape turned sour when it was revealed that Jowy had chosen to align himself with Highland for his own reasons. After Muse City fell to Highland, the hero, Nanami, and Pilika were forced to flee once again, first to [[Coronet Town]] and then to [[South Window City]].

===Leader of the New State Army===

Reuniting with Viktor and Flik in South Window City, the hero became regarded as a figure to look up to in his own right after playing a pivotal role in defeating [[Solon Jhee]]. [[Shu]] would then ask him to lead a [[New State Army]] against the invading Highland forces. Although Nanami protested the idea, the hero believed that he could not ignore the threat of Luca Blight's ambition~~, and after~~ listening to the story of Genkaku, the man who raised him, decided to lead the force. Upon taking the mantle of leadership, Leknaat appeared once again to tell the hero that the [[108 Stars]] would gather under him and lent him the [[Stone Tablet of Promise]] and the services of [[Luc]] to that effect.

[[File:Luca attacks the hero.png|220px|thumb|right|All right, cool it, Mr. 25% HP.]]As the leader of the New State Army, the hero helped repel the Highland advance. However, the army was soundly defeated by the power of Luca Blight himself. Learning that Luca was planning a night attack, an ambush was prepared. The ambush was successful but, despite his wounds, Luca sprung his own attack on the hero, pushing the two into a fatal duel. The hero would emerge victorious, ending the battle but not the war.

Just before the New State Army siege on [[Greenhill City]], Jowy would meet with the hero, asking him to stop fighting. However, the hero could not give up the friends who have helped him and the hope he held. With the same feelings spurring Jowy forward, this marked the moment when the two best friends realized that their battle was inevitable as befitting the bearers of the two halves of the [[Rune of Beginning]].

Although it started as a small group, the New State Army would gain rapid momentum, becoming a mighty torrent backed by the charm and magnetism of its leader. He would lead the army to victory, sweeping away the [[Highland Kingdom]] and ending the [[Dunan Unification War]].

However, Jowy was not present in [[L'Renouille Palace]] for the fall of Highland. Seeing the inevitable fall of the kingdom, he had returned to that fateful rock at Tenzan Pass, where their journey began. Heading there, the two would face off in one final duel, both their lives being chipped away by their runes. But when the hero's desire for peace overcame the power of the [[Rune of Beginning]], a miracle occurred and the two were restored.
