= STORY MODE: =
== Prologue: ==
(Shows the book in one page a drawing of Luther grabbing his hammer with his two hands, followed by his name below, and then in the other page, a series of texts will show up with the following prologue here.)
The origins for the Holy Roman Empire predated since December 25, 800 in Germany, when the Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne as Emperor, but it's not then until the 13th century when the term itself is used.
In later years, Luther Schneider is appointed by the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, as his personal guard. He's ruthless warrior of justice with an unique approach on dealing with those who attempt to harm the emperor.
Somehow, the emperor revealed that Luther's closest friend since childhood, Ignatius Meridius, is in process of rebelling against the Holy Roman Empire, so he ordered the guard to retrieve the centurion. But unberknowst to the emperor, the guard doubts about his reign.
== Stage 4 Interlude - VS. Ignatius Meridius ==
=== Pre-Fight Cutscene: ===
(Scene takes place in Capitoline Hill. Ignatius just finished with a random Deathopian soldier.)
Ignatius: "I had enough with those darned Deathopians in this darned battlefield!"
(Luther arrives just in time to see his friend Ignatius.)
Luther: "Wait, Ignatius!"
Ignatius: "Luther, this is no time for explanations."
(Luther shows to Ignatius a document that indicates the latter's relinquishment of duty, which the admiral is not impressed.)
Luther: "Under orders of the Holy Roman Empire, I must retrieve you back to the throne room for insubordination."
Ignatius: "Never, friend! I fight for Rome's good old days!"
Luther: "It's an order you must obey!"
Ignatius: "You cannot give me orders!"
(Luther saves the document and grabs his hammer, challenging Ignatius.)
Luther: "You're actually conspiring against the Emperor... and for that, you will be punished!"
(Ignatius unsheathes his saber as he accepts his friend's challenge.)
Ignatius: "Save your words later, Luther... I don't like to fight a friend like you."
=== After Match Cutscene: ===
(Luther summons two spheres from his hammer and traps Ignatius.)
Luther: "I warned you, Ignatius!"
Ignatius: "This is unfair, Luther! Release me if you are still my friend."
(Suddenly, Luther releases Ignatius from the magnetic trap.)
Luther: "You are right... this is unfair. I was a bit hard with you."
Ignatius: "Glad you do have some common sense."
Luther: "Now... return to the throne room."
Ignatius: "But, friend! This is not what you expect from a guard."
(Ignatius sees that more Deathopians are arriving to invade the place.)
Luther: "Changing plans! You and your centurions are going to strike the undead army."
Ignatius: "As for you, which plan do you have?"
Luther: "I'm going to Deathopia to punish the one responsible for this mess!"
Ignatius: "Understand! Once I finish this, I must return to the throne to explain what really happened."
Luther: "Good luck, Ignatius! I have a nation to bring justice!"
(Ignatius leaves the scene but not before he strikes some Deathopians with his hammer. Once he leaves, Ignatius and his centurions prepare positions to fight against them.)
== Fated Battle - VS. Funzo Jack ==
=== Pre-Fight Cutscene: ===
(Scene takes place outside of Deathstructor's Castle, where we see dark brown mountains, a couple of bones and dark gray clouds that cover the entire sky, followed by lightning coming from said clouds.)
Luther: "I will bring justice in the name of the Holy Roman Empire!"
(Just when Luther almost steps the bridge, he notices that an ink blot is coming and turns around, only for him to have his face splat by the ink.)
Luther: "Who dares to provoke me?"
(Luther wipes the ink from his face and sees Funzo, which arrived to scene.)
Funzo: "It is I, Funzo Jack!"
Luther: "So, you're the most wanted criminal of all Europe?"
Funzo: "Affirmative! Bet that you're the Emperor's bootlicker!"
Luther: "Don't talk ill to my Emperor!"
(Funzo challenges Luther and goes to his fighting stance.)
Funzo: "I bet hundred gold coins if you surrender your service!"
Luther: "That will never happen, evil criminal!"
(Luther accepts his challenge and goes to his fighting stance.)
== After Match Cutscene: ==
(Funzo Jack gets up easily and tries to attack Luther, which evades it with ease.)
Funzo: "I didn't finished this duel already!"
Luther: "But I'll finish it now!"
(Luther summons two violet spheres from his hammer, trapping Funzo's feet and then generates a ray to flip the jester down but still floated due to the guard's magnetic powers.)
Funzo: *laughs* "I think you and I... are destined to do this forever!"
Luther: "Like I would fight you for the rest of my life? I have better things to do!"
Funzo: "Don't deny it! Remember that I'm a wanted criminal in every European country!"
Luther: "Say that to the Holy Roman Emperor!"
(Funzo falls down as Luther starts to walk to the bridge while Funzo talks.)
Funzo: "Wait a minute, don't ignore me! Please have some pity!"
Luther: "I don't pity you. In fact, I outright ignore you, clown!"
(Luther ignores Funzo's words and walks towards Deathstructor's castle.)
== Sub-Boss Cutscene: ==
(We cut to Deathstructor's lair as we hear his laugh as he sees Luther through a crystal ball.)
Deathstructor: "So you have decided to fight me... However, this isn't going to happen soon."
(Deathstructor's skeletal right hand glows to the crystal ball. We cut to the castle with Luther walking towards, as a black energy teleports him to a platform in a cave with lava surrounding it.)
Luther: "In the name of God, what's happening here?"
(We hear an animal growl for a while. Then, an hybrid creature starts to land the ground with a huge shockwave.)
Mantigore: "Nobody's going to step Deathopia, mortal!"
Luther: "I don't have time to lose, Ancient Spirit!"
Mantigore: "Your time has been lost the day you pledged your life to the emperor."
Luther: "Tell that to your undead boss!"
(Mantigore screams in front of Luther. The latter is now in his combat stance afterwards.)
Mantigore: "Let me see if you have the might enough to beat me, guard!"
Luther: "I'll show you the true meaning of justice!"
== Final Boss Cutscene: ==
(Mantigore gets up easily.)
Mantigore: "I sensed pride in you, Luther!"
Luther: "Part of my job description as a guard."
Mantigore: "My time here is over... go to his throne room as I'm going to rest myself peacefully at my homeland."
(Mantigore's eyes start to close as his ethereal body starts to disappear in front of him.)
Luther: "Abschied (Translation: Farewell), Ancient Spirit."
(We cut to Deathstructor's lair, as he gets angry for Mantigore's vanishing, seeing through a crystal ball.)
Deathstructor: "That reckless guard! Why Mantigore has proven to be a failure?" *leers* "If you think you can protect and serve your empire... you are be wrong!"
(Deathstructor's skeletal right hand glows to the crystal ball. We cut back to the cave as Luther is feeling a strange sensation.)
Luther: "Justice will be made!"
(Dark energies causes Luther to be teleported to Deathstructor's throne room, a place located in the top of the castle, decorated in dark fantasy architecture. Deathstructor is seen sitting in his black throne.)
Deathstructor: "The Holy Roman Emperor's top guard!"
Luther: "And to be fair, I'm the best there is!"
Deathstructor: "Save your boasting for later, for I am Deathstructor, the future harbinger of apocalypse."
Luther: "Harbinger of apocalypse? That will never happen!"
Deathstructor: "Do you think you remain loyal to your emperor?"
Luther: "I do! That's why he trusted me with my job."
Deathstructor: "Liar! Do you realize that the emperor, Charles V, is only using you for to boost his political power?"
Luther: "The liar is you, evil one!"
Deathstructor: "For all of my heartlessness, I never lie! In fact, once your services are done, he will put you and Ignatius as expendables! That's the truth!"
Luther: "But that doesn't excuse your intentions to commit atrocities against mankind."
(Deathstructor unearths his scythe, Black Cleaver, out of the ground and grabs it as he starts to walk outside of his throne to the square one in front of Luther.)
Deathstructor: "Say everything you want, German bootlicker, but you'll never stop me and my undead invasion!"
Luther: "Of course I will stop it! Germany will be prosperous without your evil!"
Deathstructor: "You and your precious Holy Roman Empire will fall by my mighty hand!"
(Luther is now assuming in his combat stance.)
== Ending cutscene: ==
(Deathstructor is defeated, however he gets up easily.)
Deathstructor: "You don't have idea about your stupid sense of justice!"
Luther: "Justice is blind, not heartless!"
Deathstructor: "Heartless is what you will become!"
(Deathstructor runs towards Luther and attempts to attack him, but is countered by his magnetic powered hammer, smashing the skeletal ruler's chest armor, damaging it in process, before he pulls it off. Deathstructor starts to feel that his ironic death is starting now.)
Deathstructor: "It seems you didn't learned your lesson!"
Luther: "Of course I do, unlike you and your falling reign!"
(Luther leaves the castle as the components of it are starting to fall while energy waves are starting to surround Deathstructor.)
Deathstructor: "Ich hasse dich (Translation: I hate you), Luther Schneider!"
(The waves cause Deathstructor to explode into bones. We cut to Luther leaving the castle and summons Batneto and uses the bat's wave to attract his owner to float before they leave as the Deathopian castle is falling into pieces. We cut to the Holy Roman Empire's throne in Hasburg, Germany, where Ignatius and Charles V are conversing.)
Charles V: "I cannot tolerate your insubordination attempt!"
Ignatius: "The way you rule is not correct... I just wanted to return Rome to its glorious days."
Charles V: "Luther is more responsible than you, and this is what you should learn from him."
Ignatius: "But, emperor--"
Charles V: "No buts! Go back to your duties!"
(Luther then enters to scene as he talks with Charles V.)
Luther: "Emperor, I want to talk with you."
Charles V: "You just came in time, Luther. What do you offer here?"
Luther: "It's true that you're actually going to expel me?"
Charles V: "This is not true, Luther! What are you saying?"
Luther: "I finally realized that my friendship with Ignatius is more valuable than my loyalty to you, emperor!"
Ignatius: "Luther!"
Charles V: "Nonsense! You are insubordinating me too, Luther?
Luther: "I have the right to question your reign! Especially when your politics are little to no good for my country and that of the rest of Europe!"
Charles V: "You don't have any right, Luther! For what reason are you speaking of?"
Luther: "There's one reason for that: I quit!"
(Charles V gets shocked for Luther's resignation of his duty as the emperor's guard.)
Charles V: "You know what... you two leave this place... now! And don't ever return!"
(Both Luther and Ignatius leave the Holy Roman Empire's throne room, disgusted. Then, we cut to the town of Hasburg as Luther and Ignatius are pondering about their future.)
Luther: "Well... this is the end of my service as the emperor's guard."
Ignatius: "I don't blame you, friend. You finally made the wise decision."
Luther: "The entire world is oppressed by the dirty business of politics. That's why from now on, I will become your personal guard."
Ignatius: "My personal guard?"
Luther: "More than personal guard... a battle partner!"
(Ignatius thinks for a while before he accepts the offer by shaking hands with Luther.)
Ignatius: "Accept!"
Luther: "All right! Let's show the empire that we don't need loyalty!"
Ignatius: "And that our friendship will surpass every nation's barriers!"
Luther: "We will fight for what it's right!"
Ignatius: "Oppresion will not be tolerated!"
Luther: "Justice will be served!"
(Luther and Ignatius cross their weapons to each other before they raise them up to the sky.)
Luther and Ignatius: "Our alliance will prevail!"
(The camera zooms out to the town of Hasburg, Germany for twenty seconds. After that, the screen fades black.)
(Avril Lavigne's "Keep Holding On" starts playing as the credits which background is accompanied of a papyrus with ink-stained reflections of the Animal Spirits while the credits are rolling.)
