= STORY MODE: =
== Prologue: ==
(Shows the book in one page a drawing of a malevolent Shadoz clenching his right hand, followed by his name below, and then in the other page, a series of texts will show up with the following prologue here.)
Phillip Anderson had a rough childhood, as he was never properly raised correctly due to his parents being abusive towards him, and even they attempted to murder him. He had to kill them in self defense and ran away from home. As a result, he was bullied by the rest of the kids of his town, even the girls he had a crush on due to his lack of manners and social skills. As he grew up to adulthood, Phillip would enlist to the Shining Knights alongside with Rudolph Barrett, the man he was considered as his only friend since childhood.
Henry VIII was impressed at Phillip's skills as a swordsman, making him a proud warrior in the wars against the foreigners. Unlike Rudolph, Phillip commited the worst of the acts during his battles against the foreigners, and when recognized the grown-up girls that bullied him in the past, he outright raped them but also murdered said girls as a retribution. His fellow knights, even Rudolph, found his actions as heartless, so much that they executed him in public for his crimes.
Now, he's reborn in the dark region of Deathopia by the skeletal lord Deathstructor. Donning a demonic armor and a sword, and now having both a wisp and a dark dragon as companions, Phillip now goes under the name of Shadoz, and is planning to follow his new lord's orders as a way of revenge against the very people they turned their backs against him. He also has a personal issue against his former friend Rudolph in a fated battle.
== Stage 4 Interlude - VS. Iron Crusher ==
=== Pre-Fight Cutscene: ===
(Scene takes place in the Papal States Headquarters as Pope Leo X is seen conversing with the priests.)
Priest #1: "We're worried about the situation of this world, your holliness."
Leo X: "Don't worry, my children. God is always here to protect us."
Priest #2: "In any case, we must be prepared in case the Deathopians will invade our holy land."
Leo X: "That's because we got our automaton in operation, ready to save us from them."
(Shadoz enters to scene with a decapitated priest's head. He throws said head to the ground in front of the other priests being scared of the dark knight's prowess.)
Shadoz: "Is there anyone worthy to fight against me?"
Leo X: "Unlike my predecessor Julius II, I'm not a warrior... however, I got my triumph card to fight against evil."
Shadoz: "Better hurry up or I will cut your head."
Leo X: "If you insist... time to introduce the mechanized savior of mankind: Iron Crusher!" *unveils Iron Crusher* "Show this spawn of devil what you got!"
Iron Crusher: "AT YOUR ORDERS, YOUR HOLLINESS!"
(Iron Crusher starts walking to the square one in front of Shadoz.)
Shadoz: "So, you must be that automaton of the Papal States?"
Iron Crusher: "CORRECT, EVIL BEING. NOW PREPARE YOURSELF TO BE PURGED!"
Shadoz: *laughs* "This is getting interesting!"
(Both warriors are now in their combat stances.)
=== After Match Cutscene: ===
(Iron Crusher is defeated with damage scratches in the ground but still functionally operating.)
Iron Crusher: "SYSTEMS MALFUCTIONING."
Shadoz: "Anyone else here?"
Leo X: "No."
Shadoz: "Consider yourselves lucky for sparing your precious creation..."
Leo X: "So, this means you're not going to kill us?"
Shadoz: "Heh! The next time he challenges me, I will turn him into scraps and then I will cut your heads off. Understand?"
Leo X: "Yes!"
Shadoz: "Well... I'm not going lose more of my time. I got more victims to murder."
(Shadoz leaves the headquarters. The camera focuses on Leo X calling the mechanics to fix Iron Crusher.)
Leo X: "Don't worry, Iron Crusher. You will be alright soon."
Iron Crusher: "THANK YOU."
== Fated Battle - VS. Rudolph Barrett ==
=== 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. Shadoz is seen standing in the cirlced area with his sword in the ground.)
Shadoz: "Rudolph will show up... I can feel his presence in this place."
(Rudolph then shows up to the scene as Shadoz pulls his sword off.)
Rudolph: "You called me?"
Shadoz: "Yes! You came just in time."
Rudolph: "Phillip Anderson? Is that you?"
Shadoz: "Good observation, my old friend. However, from now on... I am Shadoz."
Rudolph: "So, Deathstructor reanimated you as his henchman after the townspeople executed you for your crimes."
Shadoz: "That's right, and you should join to me... I saw that your heart is tainted with sin."
Rudolph: "Nonsense! I will never become a bloodthirsty sadist like you!"
Shadoz: "If only you know the true meaning of darkness... you will understand."
(Shadoz and Rudolph start to clash their swords with each other in a correographed fight before they return to the square one.)
Rudolph: "I don't know how Henry VIII approved of your heartless methods?"
Shadoz: "Simple, he always knew my true nature... and if you listened to his true motives more often, you will become like me."
Rudolph: "My parents taught me that I will never commit the same crimes you have done months ago."
Shadoz: "Foolish human, there's no time for us to lose... Our duel has just begun."
(Both warriors are now in their combat stances.)
== After Match Cutscene: ==
(Rudolph is unconscious but still capable of talking.)
Shadoz: "You don't understand? If you joined me like now, we will rule Earth together!"
Rudolph: "Never!"
(Shadoz appoints with his sword to the neck of Rudolph.)
Shadoz: "Any last words?"
Rudolph: "You are strong than I have imagined."
(Shadoz stops appointing.)
Shadoz: "Very well... I appreciate your bravery. That's why I spare you."
Rudolph: *pants* "So this means..."
Shadoz: "Keep training harder in order to challenge me again. Once you have done... I will await for you once more."
(Rudolph ends up passing out for the fatigue. An illusion of Deathstructor's head shows up in front of Shadoz.)
Deathstructor: "Good job for defeating Rudolph, Shadoz."
Shadoz: "This can't be possible had it not for your help."
Deathstructor: "And now, return to my castle, my loyal henchman."
Shadoz: "As you wish, my lord."
(Deathstructor's illusion dissipates as Shadoz runs towards Deathstructor's castle.)
== Sub-Boss Cutscene: ==
(We cut to Deathstructor's lair as we hear his laugh as he sees Shadoz through a crystal ball. Shadoz is walking towards the throne room and then suddenly stops.)
Deathstructor: "I got a test for you to pass, Shadoz. Do you accept?"
Shadoz: "I accept the test, master!"
(Deathstructor's skeletal right hand glows to the crystal ball. We cut to the castle as a black energy teleports Shadoz to a platform in a cave with lava surrounding it.)
Shadoz: "This place is not what I have in mind for my test."
(We hear an animal growl for a while. Then, an hybrid creature starts to land the ground with a huge shockwave.)
Mantigore: "Oh, but it's the same Shadoz in person!"
Shadoz: "How do you know my name in first place?"
Mantigore: "It's obvious that since you serve Deathstructor, I should know you in first place."
Shadoz: "Well for you."
Mantigore: "I am Mantigore, the ancient Animal Spirit!"
(Mantigore screams in front of Shadoz. The latter is now in his combat stance afterwards.)
Shadoz: "Let me see if you're the legendary one everyone's talking about."
Mantigore: "Then... bring it on, Dark Knight of Deathstructor!"
== Final Boss Cutscene: ==
(Mantigore gets up easily, but he's appointed by Shadoz' sword.)
Mantigore: "What are you doing to me?"
Shadoz: "Did you just give up?"
Mantigore: "No... but instead, I recognize your skills as a warrior."
Shadoz: *stops appointing with his sword* "For an ancient Animal Spirit, I appreciate your ruthlessness."
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.)
Shadoz: "Now, bring me to the throne room, master!"
(We cut to Deathstructor's lair, as he's proud that Shadoz passed the test against Mantigore, seeing through a crystal ball.)
Deathstructor: "Excellent work, my top enforcer! Because of that, you're now seeking an audience with me."
(Deathstructor's skeletal right hand glows to the crystal ball.  We cut back to the cave as Shadoz accepts his master's request.)
Shadoz: "Yes, I can feel it!"
(Dark energies causes Shadoz 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: "Welcome back, my loyal henchman."
Shadoz: "It's a pleasure for me to return in this grimdark place."
Deathstructor: "Now, you think you are ready to join me in our invasion against Earth?"
Shadoz: "I do!"
Deathstructor: "Glad you accept it... because I got the preparations in order."
Shadoz: "However, I now realize that Deathopia will rule under a new and better leadership... My own leadership."
Deathstructor: "What are you saying?"
Shadoz: "That an old, skeletal and creepy creature like you will be eradicated."
Deathstructor: "Are you going to betray me? After all the time I helped you?"
Shadoz: "Yes! The era of Deathsructor will be over... and the new era of Shadoz will rise!"
(Shadoz commands his wisp to attack Deathstructor, but the skeletal lord grabs said wisp and throws it back to where the dark knight is located. 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 Shadoz.)
Deathstructor: "Insolent! I shouldn't have reanimated you, traitor!"
Shadoz: "Who's laughing now, old geezer? Time to bite your dust!"
Deathstructor: "I will backfire your treachery attempt right now!"
(Shadoz is now assuming in his combat stance.)
== Ending Cutscene: ==
(Deathstructor is defeated, however he gets up easily.)
Deathstructor: "Why my own top enforcer backstabbed me?"
Shadoz: "You will be no longer ruling Deathopia, so it's logical for me to take your place."
Deathstructor: "Traitor!"
(Deathstructor runs towards Shadoz and attempts to attack him, but is countered by Shadoz' sword, 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: "I brought you back to life... and that's how you serve me?"
Shadoz: "I'm now superior to you in everything. Soon I will start my own reign of terror."
(Shadoz leaves the castle as the components of it are starting to fall while energy waves are starting to surround Deathstructor.)
Deathstructor: "You're still an ungrateful sociopath, Shadoz!"
(The waves cause Deathstructor to explode into bones. We cut to Shadoz leaving the castle and summons Darkonus, leaps towards the Dragon Spirit, flying with him as the Deathopian castle is falling into pieces. We cut later to the town of Greenwich at night, as we see Shadoz standing up in one rooftop of the buildings.)
Shadoz: "Those pathetic scums will pay for what they have done me in the past!" *summons Darkonus* "I will deliver them the biggest retribution for hummiliating me!"
(Shadoz jumps to the streets in front of the Shining Knights that are patrolling the zone as Darkonus starts to fly.)
Shining Knight #1: "Watch out, it's the disgraced knight!"
Shadoz: "In one few hours, you will feel the flavor of death!"
Shining Knight #2: "Attack!"
(The knights are starting to fight against Shadoz, but he kills the two instantly, decapitating them. Then, more knights show up.)
Shining Knight #3: "For the House of Tudor!"
Shadoz: "How foolish!"
(Shadoz uses his wisp to create a portal that conjures black spheres towards the knights to hit them, before Darkonus starts to use its tail to cut them in half.)
Shadoz: "Now, I will show the people the meaning of fear."
(Darkonus starts to breath dark flames to the town buildings to the point of burning them. We cut to Henry VIII's throne, where a messenger comes to advise King VIII about Shadoz.)
King's Messenger: "My lord, I have bad news!"
Henry VIII: "What bad news we have?"
King's Messenger: "It involves one of your former knights."
Henry VIII: "Don't tell me it's related to Phillip Anderson? But he was supposed to be executed."
King's Messenger: "See it for yourself!"
(Henry VIII grabs his golden binoculars and sees the massacre of the Shining Knights at the hands of Shadoz.)
Henry VIII: "What I have done?"
King's Messenger: "I'm sorry, your majesty. Phillip may be dead for your people, but he's now back... as Shadoz, the Knight of Darkness."
(Cut back to the town as purple flames start to emanate from the destroyed buildings, as well as mutilated corpses of the rest of the Shining Knights. Shadoz starts to laugh as Darkonus lands to the ground.)
Shadoz: "Tremble before my might!"
????: "Not before I can stop you!"
(Shadoz hears a familiar voice, and he sees that Rudolph shows up.)
Shadoz: "I see you came just in time, my old friend."
Rudolph: "Enough of your barbarism, Shadoz."
Shadoz: "Very well, Rudolph. Now, are you ready for your final day?"
Rudolph: "I will stop you and emerge victorious!"
Shadoz: "Then, bring it on and attack me with all of your hatred!"
(Rudolph summons Dragolux as he goes to his fighting stance as Shadoz does the same with Darkonus. Then, both knights rush themselves as they clash their swords with each other whereas their Animal Spirits are charging in a freeze frame for ten seconds. After that, the screen fades black.)
(Avril Lavigne's "Keep Holding On" starts playing as the credits which background is accompanied of a sepia colored paper with ink-stained reflections of the Animal Spirits while the credits are rolling.)
