== STORY MODE ==
=== Prologue ===
(Shows a background composed of a humongous clock with many gears surrounding it, with the following prologue showing up here in a scrolling text.)
The planet Zionik is the home to the advanced blue skinned race known as the Zythorians, known for being devout followers of Athnum, the Imperator of Void. Little they know that Horocron and his army of time devourers arrived to the planet to cause discord and destruction.
Zen-Garr, once a proud warrior of the Psionic Brotherhood serving Athnum, got involved in a situation between life and death when Horocron arrived to his planet and offered him to join the KnightHunters, the counter-squadron to the recently formed heroic BeastKnights. He outright rejected the time destroyer's offer, knowing that if he joined it, he would betray his master's will. Unfortunately, Horocron doesn't take the rejected offer slightly, and as a result, erases the entire timeline of Zionik, but leaving the devout follower of Athnum as the sole survivor.
Ashamed for his failure to save his race, Zen-Garr decides to exile himself in a ship to another planet. When he arrived, it turned out to be Earth. Sensing that Horocron's intentions to erase more timelines, he decides to avenge his family and comrades, and restore his lost honor as a lone wanderer.
=== Stage 4 Interlude - VS. Wildclaw ===
Pre-Fight Cutscene:
(Scene takes place in A Predator Never Escapes the Prey. We see Wildclaw training with parkour-like maneuvers around the stage before pursing a rat. Zen-Garr then shows up to interrupt the hunter.)
Zen-Garr: "I'm searching for Horocron... where's him?"
(Wildclaw didn't take his interruption well and comes towards Zen-Garr.)
Wildclaw: "Do you think I am a fool, otherworlder?"
Zen-Garr: "He destroyed the timeline of my planet. If I don't stop him now, this planet will be destroyed too."
Wildclaw: "Listen... I don't have time for your answers. Leave this place immediately!"
Zen-Garr: "I don't think so, Wildclaw of the Anthromorphic Dimension."
Wildclaw: "You are spying on me?"
Zen-Garr: "Under orders of Athnum, I need valuable information of Horocron."
Wildclaw: "And if I don't, alien?"
Zen-Garr: "You will face my wrath for civil disobeyance!"
Wildclaw: "Now you asked for it!"
(Wildclaw reacts and attempts to attack Zen-Garr, which evades his opponent's attacks quickly before the latter shoots his psionic arrows towards the former, which claws these arrows with ease.)
Wildclaw: "These strange powers, I never saw these in my life before!"
Zen-Garr: "The void is one of the gifts the Imperator gave to me."
Wildclaw: "In my case, I'm going to unleash my Primal Rage!" *channels his body into a red aura and roars*
(Wildclaw launches two red-colored cross slash energy from his claws and goes towards Zen-Garr, of which he dispels easily with a void-powered palm while falling the Weretiger down. Wildclaw gets up easily.)
Zen-Garr: "I analyzed your attribute: Rage, capable of turning the user into a berserk state and generates animal energy from each attack."
(Now that both fighters knew each one of their attributes, they are walking to the square one.)
Wildclaw: "Heh, your smartbutt attitude ain't going anywhere... prepare to be hunted!" *sets his bladed claws*
Zen-Garr: "Let's see if you're so fearsome as you say..." *puts his bow in one of his hands*
After Match Cutscene:
(Wildclaw gets up so easily.)
Wildclaw: "I admit my defeat, otherworlder."
Zen-Garr: "Try to control your instincts next time, Wildclaw. You fought well..."
Wildclaw: "Thank you, but I don't know your name yet."
(Zen-Garr introduces himself to Wildclaw after the match.)
Zen-Garr: "I am Zen-Garr of Planet Zionik, weretiger."
Wildclaw: "My king, Lionel, ordered me to hunt Horocron for his crimes against the space-time continuum."
Zen-Garr: "So we have an enemy in common."
Wildclaw: "Horocron is a menace to all the dimensional planes."
Zen-Garr: "Is your dimension safe?"
Wildclaw: "Yes! If you want to step foot in my homeland, you must adress my king with courtesy."
Zen-Garr: "Your king must have a noble heart, unlike some of them from this planet."
Wildclaw: "And speaking of them... you already know what a certain Tudor king did to his best knight?"
(Zen-Garr uses his neural link to get information on both King Henry VIII and Rudolph Barrett.)
Zen-Garr: "You mean, Henry VIII? The knight he once worked for, left because of the king's obsession with a male heir, and not letting his daughters become heirs to the throne. In fact, one of his many wifes, Anne Boleyn, was executed in public because of an incestuous affair with her brother, which disgusted the king."
Wildclaw: "And what about the knight?"
Zen-Garr: "Said knight is known as Rudolph Barret, leader of his own independent unit of Shining Knights. He's one of the four who defeated Deathstructor two years ago."
Wildclaw: "You really has the brain of a historian!"
(Zen-Garr and Wildclaw shake hands with each other.)
Zen-Garr: "Until next time we meet again... I must finish what I started since I first step foot in this planet."
Wildclaw: "Take care well, Zen-Garr!"
Zen-Garr: "Back at you, Wildclaw!"
(Zen-Garr turns his back and then jumps far away from the scene. The camera then focuses on Wildclaw finally finding the rat and proceeds to catch it before eating it entirely.)
=== Fated Battle - VS. Rudolph Barrett ===
Pre-Fight Cutscene:
(Scene takes place inside a gothic room, whose wall decorations have a mysterious and eerie architecture, followed by decorative glass windows that have the Animal Spirits in it. Zen-Garr steps to the stage through the left side of the portal.)
Zen-Garr: "Horocron must be there... I must hurry up!"
????: "Not so fast, otherworlder!"
(Rudolph appears from the right side of the portal to the scene.)
Zen-Garr: "Step aside, human! Vengeance awaits me!"
Rudolph: "Don't let revenge blinds you..."
Zen-Garr: "My problem doesn't concern you, Rudolph Barret of Planet Earth!"
Rudolph: "Since when you know my name?"
Zen-Garr: "I have a neural history with every life being of the universe."
Rudolph: "And because of this, I'm challenging you!"
(Rudolph goes closer towards Zen-Garr as the former jumps farther and launches three psionic arrows from his bow towards the former, of which he immediately cuts them easily with the Shining Knight's shielded sword. After that, both are now in the square one.)
Zen-Garr: "Like father, like son... show me what made you one of the saviors of Earth!"
Rudolph: "Never bring a bow and arrow to a swordfight, alien!"
After Match Cutscene:
(Rudolph is currently exhausted from the battle with Zen-Garr.)
Rudolph: "I was surprised on this outcome... you have conviction!"
Zen-Garr: "Sorry if I defeated you, Earthling."
Rudolph: "It's nothing, otherworlder, but I don't know your name yet."
Zen-Garr: "Name's Zen-Garr of Planet Zionik, remember it!"
Rudolph: "Thank you."
(Zen-Garr helps Rudolph to get up.)
Zen-Garr: "For what reason you traveled to this place?"
Rudolph: "My mother, Elizabeth Barret, is kidnapped by Horocron's forces."
Zen-Garr: "That disgraced time master... I will never forgive him for what he caused to me!"
Rudolph: "For what reason?"
Zen-Garr: "He erased the entire timeline of my planet, and murdered my wife, children and comrades."
Rudolph: "I don't blame you... but I must save my mother as soon as possible."
(Zen-Garr entrusts Rudolph with the duty of saving the knight's mother as the vagabond decides to continue on his quest.)
Zen-Garr: "Go ahead, save her. I have a personal issue to solve."
Rudolph: "Thank you, Zen-Garr and good luck with your duty."
(Zen-Garr then goes to the center of the lair and stands on a floating platform, which goes upwards with him.)
=== Sub-Boss Cutscene ===
(We cut to the clock tower, with the floating platform flying to the floor of it as Zen-Garr arrives to scene. It's then when Horocron appears on a hologram.)
Horocron (via hologram): "Welcome back, Zen-Garr of Planet Zionik!"
Zen-Garr: "Horocron, I will never forgive your vile acts agaisnt my kin!"
Horocron (via hologram): "Insolent as always, otherworlder."
Zen-Garr: "I must stop you for ruining my life!"
Horocron (via hologram): "So you are going to challenge me... but first, you must defeat him!"
(Paku Tiki lands to the scene in a groundshake and roars with his four Koa swords in front of Zen-Garr.)
Horocron (via hologram): "Behold, my right hand of a stone idol, Paku Tiki!"
Zen-Garr: "I don't fear him, murderer!"
Horocron (via hologram): *to Paku Tiki* "Show this immigrant what you got, my favorite KnightHunter!"
(Horocron's hologram fades away. Then, Paku Tiki walks closer towards Zen-Garr.)
Paku Tiki: "You heard Paku Tiki's master! Paku Tiki's gonna kill you!"
Zen-Garr: "Heard you used to protect the Hawaiian Chief Kanipahu years ago."
Paku Tiki: "That was Paku Tiki's past thing! Paku Tiki now serves Horocron!"
Zen-Garr: "Shame on you, stone idol."
(Both Zen-Garr and Paku Tiki are now in the square one as they go to their fighting stances.)
Paku Tiki: "What's wrong? You scared of Paku Tiki's might? Paku Tiki is going to kick your candybutt!"
Zen-Garr: "You don't know me well... it's time to react to your senses!"
=== Final Boss Cutscene ===
(Zen-Garr is standing over a defeated Paku Tiki.)
Zen-Garr: "If you never worked for the murderer of my kin, you could be a greater warrior."
Paku Tiki: "Paku Tiki... is impressed at your skills."
Zen-Garr: "Horocron will pay for what did to me. You better repent of your sins!"
Paku Tiki: "Paku Tiki will return next time..." *passes out*
(Horocron's hologram appears again.)
Horocron (via hologram): "Well done, old friend."
Zen-Garr: "You... will pay for all my suffering!"
Horocron (via hologram): "If you want an audience with me, you got it!"
(Zen-Garr stands in the center of the floating platform and goes upwards. We cut to Countdown to Destruction, the rooftop of the clock tower, as the floating platform arrives to the center of the rooftop with Zen-Garr stepping on it. Horocron is standing in the back.)
Horocron: "Time has passed since we last met, former aide of mine."
Zen-Garr: "And it's your fault I lost everything!"
(Horocron turns around and introduces himself.)
Horocron: "Horocron, the one who has destroyed your planet's timeline from history, will do it again on Earth!"
Zen-Garr: "What are your intentions to erase this planet?"
Horocron: "I know your story well... A former templar who was betrayed by his own superiors."
Zen-Garr: "Because I was a fool trusting you... but now, I'm a new kin."
Horocron: "Let me refresh your memory a bit."
(We cut to a flashback in Planet Zionik, where we see Zen-Garr and his fellow Zythorians walking towards their targets, a group of heretics who rejected Athnum's will. Zen-Garr and the other Zythorian launch their arrows towards them, killing every innocent in the process.)
Horocron (v/o): "Your fellow Imperators of the Psionic Brotherhood were in a war against a group of heretics. Athnum was instructing his own men to spill blood... not even sparing innocents."
Zen-Garr (v/o): "And what does involve me?"
Horocron (v/o): "You are a slaughterer, like those 'monsters' you swore to kill."
Zen-Garr (v/o): "Because it's your fault! You deceived me into this madness you made!"
(Then we see another flashback where Zen-Garr is arguing with Horocron after the former realizes that the latter is betraying him.)
Horocron (v/o): "Exactly... I helped you to let Zionik conquer every single planet, until you decided to turn against me."
Zen-Garr (v/o): "I realized that I was no better than you if I remain complicit in your hate crimes."
Horocron (v/o): "You shouldn't have turned against me... you could become the perfect KnightHunter the very day you stepped the third planet of the solar system called Earth."
Zen-Garr (v/o): "But I didn't! I choose to exile myself and atone for all the bad things I did!"
(Lastly, we see to a final flashback where Horocron erases Zionik's timeline from history, but somehow, Zen-Garr remains immune to the time erasure.)
Horocron (v/o): "I did erase the timeline of your planet, but I spared you for a reason."
Zen-Garr (v/o): "What?"
Horocron (v/o): "You commited a irredeemable sin, enough to be declared as a fugitive in the Dimensional Planes, and Earth is the perfect place for your death sentence. That... was your sin of war."
(We cut back to Zen-Garr and Horocron in Countdown to Destruction.)
Zen-Garr: "What death sentence are you going to do against me?"
Horocron: "I'll execute you personally for your sin of war!"
Zen-Garr: "Not in a million of years!"
(Horocron summons his weapon, Chrono Changer, before grabbing it as he now floats towards Zen-Garr before stepping to the square one as Zen-Garr goes to it as well.)
Horocron: "This is the last time we fight together, old friend."
Zen-Garr: "I am not your friend, not since you murdered my family and comrades! I will make justice for their deaths!"
Horocron: "Hah! Try it if you can, Zythorian traitor!"
(Zen-Garr is now assuming on his combat stance.)
=== Ending Cutscene ===
(Horocron attempts to get up, but is instead kneeled down due to the damage he suffered in battle.)
Horocron: "I helped you to become my perfect warrior, and that's how you pay me?"
Zen-Garr: "You took everything sacred for me, and this is what you will pay for it!"
Horocron: "Enough... your erasure is imminent!"
(Horocron launches a powerful ray from the Chrono Changer as a way to erase Zen-Garr from existence, but the archer evades the ray instantly and then goes closer to his enemy. Zen-Garr puts his bow behind Horocron's neck, preparing his final attack.)
Zen-Garr: "Your time is up, murderer! Any last words?"
Horocron: "Killing me will never bring back your family and comrades, Zen-Garr!"
Zen-Garr: "But still I will do that to alleviate my grief!"
(Zen-Garr does a knee strike to Horocron alongside with the bow, decapitating the disgraced time master immediately. Then, the Zythorian launches one void-charged arrow from his bow and hits it to the decapitated head of Horocron, but not before using his void powers to explode the head into many gory pieces. After that, he remains quiet but satisfied.)
Zen-Garr: "For Athnum!"
(Zen-Garr notices that the clock tower is going to be collapsed soon.)
Zen-Garr: "I must leave this place immediately."
(Zen-Garr steps in the floating platform and goes out of the stage. We see that the entire clock tower is falling in pieces. Then, we cut to Mysterious Watchman's Solace, where Zen-Garr is standing in solace.)
Zen-Garr (v/o): "I made justice to the killer of my family and comrades, but I think I will remain alone in this planet for eternity."
(Somehow, Zen-Garr senses that someone is coming and prepares his bow and arrows for the imminent arrival.)
Zen-Garr: "Who's there?"
(But fortunately, Rudolph arrives, which Zen-Garr immediately recognizes and saves his weapons.)
Rudolph: "Take it easy, Zen-Garr. It's me, Rudolph!"
Zen-Garr: "Oh, so it's you, Earthling."
(Both Zen-Garr and Rudolph are conversing.)
Rudolph: "Heard about your suffering, otherworlder."
Zen-Garr: "A suffering I unwillingly caused back in my planet of origin."
Rudolph: "Did you commited hate crimes in the name of Horocron?"
Zen-Garr: "Yes... but I decided to atone myself for my sins of war."
Rudolph: "I'm glad your soul is free from being corrupted with evil, which caused Phillip to become Shadoz."
Zen-Garr: "Wished you saved his soul before Shadoz' human self died. By the way, is your mother safe, knight?"
Rudolph: "Of course I did save her before the clocktower collapsed into pieces. She's now back home."
Zen-Garr: "As for me... I feel that I'm not going to see my kin again."
(Rudolph puts one of his hands to Zen-Garr's right shoulder.)
Rudolph: "You are not alone, Zen-Garr."
Zen-Garr: "Why you said it, human?"
Rudolph: "I heard your story and told it to my comrades. They wanted you to stay... As a matter of fact, I got an offer only for you!"
Zen-Garr: "What is it?"
Rudolph: "Join the BeastKnights of the Polygonal table. Earth will be your new planet, and you will finally find a new reason to protect if you do!"
(Zen-Garr thinks for a few seconds and then makes his decision.)
Zen-Garr: "I've lost comrades before because I was a fool, but this time, I will never leave my new comrades behind... so therefore, I accept!"
(Zen-Garr shakes hands with Rudolph. Then, we cut to the cliff from the opening cutscene as we see Zen-Garr running with Zentikpeden.)
Zen-Garr (v/o): "I am Zen-Garr, The Fallen Follower. Zionik was the home I failed to protect, but this time I will protect Earth with my sheer determination, in order to protect the innocent and make sure I will never harm them again."
(The last take has Zen-Garr putting his three arrows in his bow before he launches them closer to the camera while the screen freezes for five seconds before it gets covered with void waves, turning the screen black.)
(Jem's "Once in Every Lifetime" starts playing as the credits which background is accompanied of the gothic wall with the stained glasses decorated with the designs of each one of the Animal Spirits inside while the credits are rolling.)
