Editing Hero (Dragon Quest V) (section)

===Generation 2===
Ten years pass, and The Hero is now 16 years old. He, along with Prince [[Harry]], have grown up laboring at the slave camp. After an altercation with two of the slave drivers, who were abusing a fellow captive named [[Maria]], the two are approached by her brother, one of the guards, who arranges for the three to escape via a barrel. After drifting through the central sea, they soon wash up at the [[Heaven's Above Abbey]] where they recover. While [[Maria]] stays as an initiate, The Hero and [[Harry]] depart to try to fulfill [[Pankraz]]'s final request.

After obtaining a [[wagon]] from a trader in [[Fortuna]], and learning how to [[Monster recruitment|tame monsters]], the pair head north to discover [[Whealbrook]] was razed years ago. During their stay, they find a cache left behind by [[Pankraz]] deep inside [[Whealbrook Adit]] - where they find the {{Zenithian sword}} and a [[Pankraz's letter|letter from Pankraz]] explaining that he has been searching for The Legendary Hero and the [[Zenithian Equipment|Zenithian gear]], as [[Madalena]] was captured by the forces of [[Nadiria]] years ago. Heading west to [[Roundbeck]], the two learn that {{Bianca}} and her family have since moved away, as well as some disturbing rumors about [[Coburg]]. Upon returning, they learn [[Harry]]'s father has passed on leaving his half-brother Wilbur as king, and the Queen Dowager is enacting a tyrannical rule over the kingdom. Sneaking into the castle via a secret entrance, they pass through the dungeons -- where they find the real Queen Dowager held captive in a cell. After entering the courtyard, they speak with Wilbur, who discreetly passes a key to [[Harry]] in order to access a [[teleportal]].  Wanting to determine who is the impostor, The Hero and [[Harry]] set off to find [[Ra's Mirror]] stored at [[Abovitall Tower]]. With it, the false queen is unmasked and defeated. [[Harry]] decides to stay at [[Coburg]] to help his brother run the kingdom, leaving The Hero to continue his journey alone.

Acting on a tip from King Wilbur, The Hero sails to the continent of Zephyrus to reach the village of [[Mostroferrato]], the last known location of the {{Zenithian shield}}. There he meets up with [[Rodrigo Briscoletti]], who trying to find suitors for his daughter {{Nera}} - with the shield as a wedding gift. Applying as a bachelor, The Hero is tasked with find both the [[Circle of Fire]] and the [[Circle of Water]] to be deemed worthy. After retrieving the first ring from the [[Mount Magmageddon|volcano]] in the south, Rodrigo lends his yacht to let find the other ring in the [[Cataract Caves]]. Along the way, a large watergate blocks the path, and The Hero stops at the nearby mountain village of [[Stockenbarrel]]. There he meets with his childhood friend, {{Bianca}}, now a young adult. She agrees to unlock the watergate and help him to retrieve the ring.

Back at [[Mostroferrato]], Mr. Briscoletti was impressed at The Hero fulfilling both tasks, and agrees to let him to marry his daughter. However, when she notices {{Bianca}}, she wants to make sure The Hero doesn't also have feelings for his childhood friend. Mr. Briscoletti asks to The Hero to decide which woman he wants to marry, promising to finance the wedding either way. Before he can decide, {{Nera}}'s temperamental sister, {{Debora}}, appears and offers herself as a candidate (in the {{DS}} remake) as a challenge. After The Hero makes his decision, he and the chosen bride a wed. After the celebrations, Mr. Briscoletti presents them both the {{Zenithian shield}} and a personal yacht. With their new ship, the newlyweds sail south to [[Helmunaptra]], where the prophetic ruler, [[Queen Cleohatra]], shows them the {{Zenithian helm}} stored in a vault, awaiting the arrival of The Legendary Hero. After that, they sail east to find The Hero's homeland, [[Gotha]].

After crossing a treacherous mountain pass, they arrive at the castle town of [[Gotha]], where it is revealed that [[Pankraz]] was originally its king until he departed years ago, and is currently ruled by his brother Albert. Reuniting with [[Sancho]], he presents The Hero and his {{wife 5}} to King Albert, who states that he wants to relinquish the throne to his nephew. Meanwhile, it is revealed The Hero's  is pregnant with a child, and she remains at the castle. At the chancellor's insistence, The Hero must travel to the nearby [[Riteof Passage]] and retrieve the [[Royal Insignia]] before he can be coronated.

After returning from the cave of trials The Hero learns that his wife is giving birth, and soon after she gives birth to twins - a [[Hero's Son (Dragon Quest V)|boy]] and a [[Hero's Daughter (Dragon Quest V)|girl]]. After a night of celebrating the coronation of The Hero as the new king of [[Gotha]], The Hero's {{wife 5}} is kidnapped in the middle of the night by {{MFamilies}}s. After tracking her to [[Knightmare Towers]], he finds her captive by [[Kon the Knight]]. Unfortunately, after defeating Kon, they confronted by Bishop [[Ladja]], who reveals that she has Zenithian blood and is destined to give birth to The Legendary Hero. He turns both of them to stone in order to prevent this -- unaware that she had already given birth to the [[Hero's Son (Dragon Quest V)|Legendary Hero]].
