Major spoilers for the game Bastion. This is a basic recap of the story. you have been warned!
Caelondia, once the most beautiful city in the land, reduced to rubble. When the Calamity struck, took the floor out from under us. Now everything seemed to be floating high in the sky. Only thing down was a seemingly endless tumble.
Windbags took over what remains of Caelondia, too bad it ain't much. The wild unknown was growing wild once more. The Ura, our pale neighbors to the east, they got every right to be mad. After all, we were the ones who planned the Calamity. Now all that's left of Caelondia, is the Bastion. The kid kept at it, finding cores, aged pieces of stones from Burstone Quarry, they used to power what was once Caelondia, now they're going to bring everything back.
Over time though, he finds others. Down in the Hanging Gardens, he finds Zulf. Zulf was an Ura man, he lost everything to the Calamity. In Prosper Bluff, he finds another Ura, her name was Zia, she was a musician, played her own little Harp-Guitar.
I swear every time the kid came back from finding a core, he brings back all sorts of creatures with him. He brought with him a baby Squirt, a Pecker bird, and even to my surprise an Anklegator. Even managed to fix up an idol of Pyth the Bull.
Lots happened since then, Zulf betrayed us, betrayed the Bastion. Soon he and his countrymen went to finish it off. Ain't for the critters, kid may have been to late to save it. Shame we lost em to the Ura's blades.
The kid did it though, he made his way to the Tazal Terminals, the Ura's home city, a network of underground tunnels. It was cast to the stars in the Calamity. The Ura weren't too happy when the kid began to make a ruckus in their own home. They switched that anger to the man who brought the kid there,
Zulf.
They turned on him, beat him till he was red and blue. Then they left him for dead in the snow, hardly believed it when kid brought it in himself to save the man. Bet he had to do more than say please that time.
Now here we are, The Bastion is complete. Kid just needs to pull that switch, and everything will turn back to normal. Don't worry, everyone will be alright. Things will go back to the way they used to be. All that needs to be done, is for the kid to pull that switch.
Caelondia, we're coming home.
Takes place a month after Rainbow Rocks, and after the first restoration ending in Bastion.
