= STORY MODE: =
== Prologue: ==
(Shows the book in one page a drawing of Paulo looking upwards like an adventurer, followed by his name below, and then in the other page, a series of texts will show up with the following prologue here.)
The Tupi, a tribe of indigenous amazons, are the inhabitants of a South American region of Brazilia, which is currently in process of colonization by a group of Portugese people. The Tupi and the Portuguese met when the latter stepped in the land of the former in early 1500's approximately.
As a result of the union, a half-blood by the name of Paulo Agostino, is born as the sole son of a Portuguese settler and a Tupi Warchief. Paulo learned the ways of both since childhood up to his teenage years, where he's currently an ambasaddor of the Tupi tribe to the Portuguese.
However, one of the Portuguese hide an ulterior motive, and Paulo feels that the truce between both will be broken. By orders of his parents, Paulo decides to take his explorer skills to new heights by embarking on a long journey around the world with one last destination in mind: Deathopia.
== Stage 4 Interlude - VS. Xochitl ==
=== Pre-Fight Cutscene: ===
(Scene takes place in Tenochtitlan. Xochitl is seen conversing with the emperor Montezuma.)
Xochitl: "Emperor, please help me in the battle against the Spainiards!"
Montezuma (voiced by Rey Mysterio): "Xochitl, I appreciate your efforts, but I cannot allow you to risk your life. I recommend you to go away until the danger is over."
Xochitl: "But, emperor!"
Montezuma: "No excuses... by the way, someone is visiting you."
Xochitl: "As you wish."
(Paulo comes to scene to meet both of them.)
Paulo: "Excuse me, are you from the Aztec Empire?"
Montezuma: "Yes, and... what do you want?"
Paulo: "Sorry for interrupting you, but I'm Paulo Agostinho, and my father asked about some negotiations with your people."
Montezuma: "I don't negotiate with Europeans in general."
Xochitl: *to Montezuma* "Emperor!"
Paulo: "I know, since you have a beef with Cortés' army of Conquistadors."
Montezuma: "One question... which part of Europe is your father from?"
Paulo: "Portugal."
Xochitl: "Leave him to me, emperor!"
Montezuma: "As you wish, Xochitl."
(Montezuma leaves as Xochitl unsheathes her Macuahuitl and appoints to Paulo before she stops.)
Xochitl: "Bet that you are his son, right. In this case, I challenge you!"
Paulo: "All right... but I don't like the idea of fighting a girl like you."
(Paulo unsheathes his Machete as both are now in their fighting stances.)
=== After Match Cutscene: ===
(Paulo helps Xochitl to get up.)
Xochitl: "I admit that you have natural strength!"
Paulo: "Obrigado! (Translation: Thanks!) I inherited my arbokinetic abilities from my mother."
Xochitl: "Don't tell me she's..."
Paulo: "A Tupi warchief. She and her tribe of warriors control wood at will."
Xochitl: "I didn't knew it! This means you're a... half-blood."
Paulo: "Exactly! I got the best of both worlds!"
Xochitl: "Me on the other hand... I got a secret."
Paulo: "Tell me."
Xochitl: "I learned the Spanish language when a dictionary from one of the Conquistadors suddenly left behind in my territory, and I memorized it in seconds!"
Paulo: "This explains why you are trying to befriend Alejandro."
Xochitl: *gets enraged* "Him? No! I hate Spainiards... all of them!"
Paulo: "Oh, I understand."
(Xochitl shakes hands with Paulo.)
Xochitl: "I appreciate your father's offer, but once my battle is over, you can visit Tenochtitlan all the times you want."
Paulo: "And in return, you can visit my homeland, where you can eat delicious amazon food! See you later!"
Xochitl: "Back at you!"
(Paulo leaves the scene as Montezuma arrives to talk with Xochitl.)
Montezuma: "The Spainiards have arrived and I changed my opinion! Are you ready to stop them?"
Xochitl: "I do! My weapons are ready!"
(Montezuma and Xochitl are ready to fight as they leave.)
== Fated Battle - VS. Ousmane Kaba ==
=== 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.)
Paulo: "My parents would be proud! Deathopia will be history!"
(Just as Paulo is almost stepping the bridge, he feels he suddenly stopped moving due to red gravity waves affecting the ground for five seconds. Paulo turns and sees Ousmane, who just stopped the spell.)
Ousmane: "I wouldn't enter to this dangerous place if I were you."
Paulo: "Aww, man! I almost got it!"
Ousmane: "Leave this to the veterans like me."
Paulo: "Are you serious? Not to offend you but I arrived first."
(Ousmane challenges Paulo and goes to his fighting stance.)
Ousmane: "Listen, you're too young to stop the Deathopian menace."
Paulo: "I don't like fighting against an elderly man like you... but if you insist."
(Paulo accepts his challenge and goes to his fighting stance.)
== After Match Cutscene: ==
(Ousmane just sits up after his defeat.)
Ousmane: "Those woodbending skills... are worthy of a warrior."
Paulo: "Thanks for your advice. Your gravity spells are not that bad either."
Ousmane: "You seem energic for a young boy like you."
Paulo: "I try to maintain positive every day!"
(Ousmane gets up and conjures a vision of a brown bearded Portuguese general killing Paulo's parents and massacring the Tupi.)
Ousmane: "My predictions indicate that one of the Portuguese will break the truce."
Paulo: "But who? My father told me earlier on but I don't know who's that person."
Ousmane: "The one who will break it... is a greedy Bandeirante working for Queen Isabel. Your parents are in danger if you don't stop him."
Paulo: *gets worried* "Thanks for your advice. I will react first once I finished with Deathstructor."
(The vision disappears.)
Ousmane: "You have a great future ahead. Don't waste it."
Paulo: "I will do that, shaman!"
(Paulo runs towards Deathstructor's castle.)
== Sub-Boss Cutscene: ==
(We cut to Deathstructor's lair as we hear his laugh as he sees Paulo 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 Paulo walking towards, as a black energy teleports him to a platform in a cave with lava surrounding it.)
Paulo: "This place is not what I have in mind."
(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!"
Paulo: "My mother talked well about you, Mantigore."
Mantigore: "I don't like humans, especially the Tupi like your mother."
Paulo: "Your judgement is wrong in first place!"
(Mantigore screams in front of Paulo. The latter is now in his combat stance afterwards.)
Mantigore: "You try to act like a civilized Portuguese, but your hunger shows otherwise."
Paulo: "Don't understimate my good image, so I'm ready!"
== Final Boss Cutscene: ==
(Mantigore gets up easily.)
Mantigore: "You are really a brave boy, just like your father."
Paulo: "I'm a half-blood! What do you expect?"
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.)
Paulo: "Have a good eternal rest, Mantigore."
(We cut to Deathstructor's lair, as he gets angry for Mantigore's vanishing, seeing through a crystal ball.)
Deathstructor: "How Mantigore is defeated by a mere half-blood like him?" *laughs* "If what he wishes is an audience with me, he will taste my hand of death!"
(Deathstructor's skeletal right hand glows to the crystal ball. We cut back to the cave as Paulo is feeling a strange sensation.)
Paulo: "Is that possible? Am I returning to the castle?"
(Dark energies causes Paulo 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 half-blood, son of a Portuguese and a Tupi."
Paulo: "And truth to be told, I'm proud of it!"
Deathstructor: "I don't doubt of that. By the way, I am Deathstructor, bringer of the upcoming apocalypse."
Paulo: "Are you the evil creature that my mother talked about?"
Deathstructor: "That dirty-faced cranky woman?"
Paulo: "Don't talk ill about my mother!"
Deathstructor: "Tupians like you make me sick! They are nothing but a bunch of cannibals who perform sickening rituals to satiate their hunger."
Paulo: "At last they admit to do it, because my mother ate a lot of enemy tribe warriors in combat when she was younger!"
Deathstructor: "But I have bad news for you... one of the Portuguese will break the truce, and that will do... now!"
Paulo: "You know what, I'm not losing my time here!"
(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 Paulo.)
Deathstructor: "Foolish mudblood! You made the wrong decision of fighting against me!"
Paulo: "I still have time to stop him, but saving the world is my priority first."
Deathstructor: "Then, say goodbye to your half-blood life, explorer."
(Paulo is now assuming in his combat stance.)
== Ending cutscene: ==
(Deathstructor is defeated, however he gets up easily.)
Deathstructor: "This is not what I should end this!"
Paulo: "Be glad you are no longer commiting atrocities like this!"
Deathstructor: "Darn you, half-blood!"
(Deathstructor runs towards Paulo and attempts to attack him, but is countered by Paulo's machete, impaling the skeletal ruler in the chest for five seconds and then pulls off. Deathstructor starts to feel that his ironic death is starting now.)
Deathstructor: "This is absurd! I am Death personified!"
Paulo: "Death itself will be reduced to a concept, evil one."
(Paulo leaves the castle as the components of it are starting to fall while energy waves are starting to surround Deathstructor.)
Deathstructor: "The Tupi will be extinct, Paulo Agostinho!"
(The waves cause Deathstructor to explode into bones. We cut to Paulo leaving the castle and summons Macawhee and creates a wooden surf-esque table with both leaving as the Deathopian castle is falling into pieces. We cut later to the Amazonian Rainforest as an arson is happening in that moment. Paulo arrives to scene.)
Paulo: "What's happening here? Why my home is on fire?"
(But to his horror, sees the heavily damaged bodies of his parents. Paulo's father, Heitor Agostinho, is a black haired Portuguese man wearing a refined beige civilian suit, whereas his mother, Maiara, wears a beige and green Tupi warchief dress.)
Paulo: "Mom! Dad!"
Heitor (voiced by Kevin Conroy): "Paulo... forgive me."
Paulo: "What did this to you?"
Heitor: "Someone broke the truce... and betrayed me in the back."
Maiara (voiced by Cree Summer): "It's not his fault... that it happened."
Paulo: "Please don't die! Tell me who?"
Heitor: "General Regulus Freitas. He will... never get away... with the act of treason."
Maiara: "Be strong, Paulo. We're proud... of you."
(Both Heitor and Maiara close their eyes as they die, much to Paulo's sadness.)
Paulo: *crying* "Why? Whyyyy?"
(Then, we see Regulus Freitas, a brown bearded Portuguese general wearing a red and green Bandeirante outfit.)
Regulus (voiced by Malcolm McDowell): "So the little boy has finally becoming a man... what a strange surprise."
Paulo: *stops crying* "Regulus, you caused this unforgivable thing, right?"
Regulus: "Why not? This place is already doomed from the beginning."
Paulo: "For what reason?"
Regulus: "I broke the negotiations between my own people and those cannibals you call your tribe. Your parents were useless against me wheny they learned about my true purpose."
Paulo: "You did that just to fulliful your own ambitions?"
Regulus: "My plan is to turn your pathetic rainforest into my own personal empire once I overthrow Queen Isabel. After that, I will exterminate not only the Tupi, but also the other tribes living in it."
Paulo: "That's enough, monster! I will kill you for what you have done!"
Regulus: "Bring it on, mudblood!"
(Regulus unsheathes his sword as Paulo is now holding his machete. Both are clashing their blades in a correographed fight that lasted for twenty minutes, until Regulus kicks Paulo to the ground and appoints his saber to the half-blood's neck.)
Regulus: "Any last words?"
Paulo: "Yes! I have one for you!"
(Paulo starts to summon wood spikes to Regulus, impaling him. He continues to raise the wood to the general, trapping him.)
Regulus: "What are you doing?"
Paulo: "I will show what my mother taught to me long time ago, my true Tupi heritage."
(Paulo slashes Regulus' abdomen, exposing the organs from his body. He has no choice than to eat the general upside down until he leaves the general's skin to a skeleton with some exposed muscles, effectively killing him. We cut to a forest where Paulo looks at the graves of his recently deceased parents with angst.)
Paulo: "I have failed... if only I could save you earlier on... this wouldn't happened."
????: "It's not your fault, Paulo. You did your best to save this rainforest."
(We see the presence of a full-blooded Tupi woman of black hair with hazel eyes wearing a yellow outfit comprised of a bustier and loinclotch, wielding a spear.)
Mirina (voiced by Emilia Clarke): "Sacrifices must be done in order to save mankind, Paulo."
Paulo: "But how?"
Mirina: "He almost tried to kill me and my fellow Amazons, but fortunately I survived.
Paulo: "My parents were murdered by the traitor! If only I would spend time with them before my journey... I wouldn't be sad."
Mirina: "As long as they are watching over you in the heavens, your life must go on. You just done the right thing by killing him for what he has done."
Paulo: "Thanks, Mirina. I now understand what this memory matters to me."
Mirina: "By the way, I will become the queen of the remaining Tupi tribes, and knowing your historial of travelling place to place, do you want to become my personal messenger?"
(Paulo shakes hands with Mirina.)
Paulo: "I accept your offer!"
(Lastly, we see the restored Amazon Rainforest back to normal, as Paulo is surfing with his wooden surf table as he's holding documents in hand. He starts to send documents to each one of the BeastKnights: Xochitl, Alejandro and Rottex eating their food in the grasslands of the rainforest, with the former two covering their noses to avoid the bad smell of the latter. Ignatius, Gunnar and Iron Crusher training soldiers from each part of the world. Jean fishing with his cutlass, and so is Haruto with his Ninjato, as both grin to each other. Tifa digging with her daggers to find a treasure. Shadoz standing stoicly at the top of a cliff with his sword inserted in the ground. Red Axe, Lang and Ousmane relaxing in a yoga-like stance, and lastly Rudolph and Gretchen kissing each other inside of Paulo's own hut.)
Paulo (v/o): "The rainforest is now back to normal, but at the cost of the deaths of my parents, which is sad. On the good part, I'm now the personal messenger of Mirina, who currently tasked me to send a message to the warriors I met in the journey."
(Then, we cut to Paulo as he returns to the Tupi throne as the camera focuses on his face.)
Paulo (v/o): "Needless to say... I enjoy my job as an explorer... and a messenger."
(The scene is turned into a paper with an ink drawing in a freeze frame. The paper starts to burn in a screen transition, effectively turning it 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.)
