= STORY MODE: =
== Prologue: ==
(Shows the book in one page a drawing of Alejandro doing a regal pose with his rapier, followed by his name below, and then in the other page, a series of texts will show up with the following prologue here.)Spain, a nation of monarchy with a rich story, located in the iberic region of Europe. The Spanish Empire is the result of the dynastic union between the Crowns of Castilla and Aragón through the marriages of Isabel I and Fernando II respectively, forming a system of of hereditary territories. When Cristóbal Colón discovered the American continent, they knew that one day or another, the colonization will be made.
Under orders of King Carlos I of Spain, Hernán Cortés and his men embark on a journey to Tenochtitlan as a way to expand the Spanish Crown. One of his men is Alejandro Barragan, the self-proclaimed herald of Cortés and one of the best fencers in Sevilla. Alejandro is trying his best to follow Cortés' footsteps during his journey.
However, he doesn't expect that one day or another, the Deathopian invasion is incoming. Alejandro, being unaware of Deathstructor's return, has decided to check the source of it during his duty as a reporter for Cortés troops as soon as posible.
== Stage 4 Interlude - VS. Ignatius Meridius ==
=== Pre-Fight Cutscene: ===
(Scene takes place in Capitoline Hill. Ignatius is observing the centurions' patrolling of the place.)
Ignatius: "Keep going forward, soldiers!"
(Then, one of the centurions advise Ignatius.)
Centurion: "Sir, you got a personal visit!"
Ignatius: "Understand! Now, go back to work!"
Centurion: "Yes, sir!"
(The centurion leaves just as Alejandro shows up in front of Ignatius.)
Alejandro: "¡Saludos, almirante!" (Translation "Greetings, admiral!")
Ignatius: "What do you want here?"
Alejandro: "I'm Alejandro, and I want a personal duel with you!"
Ignatius: "I'm sorry, but I got a duty to accomplish."
Alejandro: "Then you will be branded as a coward!"
Ignatius: "How dare you!"
(Ignatius unsheates his saber and starts to attack Alejandro, which repels with his rapier for ten seconds before they go back to the square one.)
Alejandro: "Not bad... however, can you dare me to fight like a real hombre?"
Ignatius: "This disrespectful attitude of yours must be corrected right now!"
(Both warriors are now in their fighting stances.)
=== After Match Cutscene: ===
(Ignatius is still unconscious but capable of talking.)
Alejandro: "Give up, admiral. I defeated you!"
Ignatius: "Darn it! Why you don't back off from my sight?"
Alejandro: "You look tired. Take a rest."
Ignatius: "A centurion never takes a rest until the duty is completed."
(Ignatius gets up.)
Alejandro: "Oh, I now understand your determination."
Ignatius: "The one who should back off is you for interrupting me."
Alejandro: "Okay, okay, I'm leaving."
(Alejandro almost leaves the stage, until Ignatius stops him.)
Ignatius: "Wait!"
Alejandro: *turns his head for a while* "Did you forgot something to say?"
Ignatius: "Even though you're arrogant, you fought well."
Alejandro: "¡Gracias, almirante!" (Translation: "Thanks, Admiral!")
(Alejandro then leaves the stage for real. The camera focuses on Ignatius continuing with the centurion observation.)
== Fated Battle - VS. Xochitl ==
=== 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. Alejandro starts to walk in the circled area.)
Alejandro: "This place is so escalofriante (Translation: frightening)... to say at least."
(Then, Alejandro turns around and sees that the ground is shaking in line as he evades the debris. He then sees Xochitl with her Macuahuitl in the ground before she pulls off of it.)
Xochit: "Better get off of this right now!"
Alejandro: "You can't boss me, little girl. I found this place first."
Xochit: "Deathopia deserves to be eradicated!"
Alejandro: "Wait! Is that place Deathopia?"
(Xochitl challenges Alejandro and prepares her fighting stance.)
Xochit: "¡No digas estupideces porque te mataré!" (Translation: "Don't say stupid things because I will kill you!")
Alejandro: "¡Te juro que esto se va a poner bien feo!" (Translation: "I swear to you that this will get ugly!")
(Alejandro accepts Xochitl's challenge and prepares his fighting stance.)
== After Match Cutscene: ==
(Xochitl is seen defeated in the ground as Alejandro appoints his rapier to her neck.)
Alejandro: "That's enough, girl. I defeated you."
Xochit: "Kill me... I failed the Gods!"
(Then Alejandro stops appointing and he helps Xochitl to get up.)
Xochit: "Why did you help me?"
Alejandro: "Because I see in you the courage to stand up."
Xochit: "But you're supposed to work with the enemy of my homeland."
Alejandro: "Sooner or later, Cortés will take over Tenochtitlan. I will advise my people as soon as possible, and please... stay out of the danger zone."
Xochit: "And what are you going to do?"
Alejandro: "I will talk with the ruler of Deathopia. ¡Deseame suerte! (Translation: Wish me good luck!)"
(Alejandro runs towards Deathstructor's castle.)
== Sub-Boss Cutscene: ==
(We cut to Deathstructor's lair as we hear his laugh as he sees Alejandro 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 as Alejandro walking towards, as a black energy teleports him to a platform in a cave with lava surrounding it.)
Alejandro: "¡Santa Madre de Dios!" (Translation: "Holy Mother of God!")
(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!"
Alejandro: "Who are you in first place?"
Mantigore: "I am Mantigore, the ancient Animal Spirit."
Alejandro: "So, you're like my partner Caballo Veloz in humanoid form."
Mantigore: "Don't compare me with your useless horse!"
(Mantigore screams in front of Alejandro. The latter is now in his combat stance afterwards.)
Alejandro: "You just insulted my animal spirit, so this means war!"
Mantigore: "What a foolish way to declare me the war, human."
== Final Boss Cutscene: ==
(Mantigore gets up easily.)
Mantigore: "Not bad... for a fencer."
Alejandro: "That's because I'm the best of Spain, believe it or not."
Mantigore: "My time here is over... go to his castle 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.)
Alejandro: "What an honorable warrior, indeed."
(We cut to Deathstructor's lair, as he gets angry for Mantigore's vanishing, seeing through a crystal ball.)
Deathstructor: "I can't believe this spainiard outsmarted Mantigore! However, he will not run fast for long time."
(Deathstructor's skeletal right hand glows to the crystal ball.  We cut back to the cave as Alejandro is feeling a strange sensation.)
Alejandro: "¡Ay, no!"
(Dark energies causes Alejandro 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 to Deathopia, so-called herald of Hernán Cortés."
Alejandro: "So you're the ruler of this spooky land."
Deathstructor: "Exactly! I'm Deathstructor, bringer of the incoming apocalypse."
Alejandro: "Xochitl told me well about you."
Deathstructor: "Did you talked with that girl who hated you?"
Alejandro: "To be fair, she no longer hates me."
Deathstructor: "You are not but a war-mongering hypocrite! Spainiards like you only have one thing, conquer every land they see as expendable! Considering that you work under the service of the Spanish Crown, everything is possible."
Alejandro: "The conversation with her allowed me to send the report to them and advise that Tenochtitlan will not get conquered."
Deathstructor: "However, do you realize that Tenochtitlan... is now conquered?"
Alejandro: "What?"
(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 Alejandro.)
Deathstructor: "Once you advise them about the cease to fire, it's now too late."
Alejandro: "Perhaps what you did say may or may not be true. Changing the subject, I got one thing to say: ¡En guardia!"
Deathstructor: "You may be fast, but your death will be slow and painful."
(Alejandro is now assuming his combat stance.)
== Ending cutscene: ==
(Deathstructor is defeated, however he gets up easily.)
Deathstructor: "How a pathetic human like you defeated me that way?"
Alejandro: "Not even an undead monster like you would stop my fast strikes!"
Deathstructor: "You fool!"
(Deathstructor runs towards Alejandro and attempts to attack him, but is countered by his rapier, 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 can't be possible? I shouldn't get killed by you!"
Alejandro: "If you excuse me, soon to be "dead" ruler, I got a report to send. ¡Adios!"
(Alejandro leaves the castle as the components of it are starting to fall while energy waves are starting to surround Deathstructor.)
Deathstructor: "¡Terminarás siendo un don nadie, Alejandro Barragan!"
(The waves cause Deathstructor to explode into bones. We cut to Alejandro leaving the castle and summons Caballo Veloz as he mounts on the horse, running faster as the Deathopian castle is falling into pieces. We cut later to Spanish Royal Throne as the King Carlos I of Spain and Queen Isabel of Portugal are seen talking with Hernán Cortés and the conquistadors.)
King Carlos I (voiced by Tom Cruise): "I appreciate your efforts for expanding the Kingdom of Spain in Tenochtitlan."
Hernán Cortés (voiced by Jean Reno): "Thanks, your majesty!"
King Carlos I: "And in recognition for your duties, you are now awarded with the medal of honor!"
(The king Carlos I then gives the medals to Cortés and the conquistadores. It's then when Alejandro opens the door and advises them.)
Alejandro: "¡Ya volví, mi querida gente!" (Translation: "I'm back, my dearest people!")
Queen Isabel of Portugal (voiced by Penélope Cruz): "What times are these to come, Alejandro?"
Alejandro: "I got the report that Tenochtitlan will not be conquered!"
King Carlos I: "Do you realize that we already took Tenochtitlan?"
Alejandro: "But... I already talked with Xochitl so she will advise her people that her town will not be taken!"
Hernán Cortés: "Are you deluded? My men already made our move, and what you did instead? Trying to befriend an Aztec teenager?"
Alejandro: "Trust me, master! They are not bad as you apparently said!"
(Cortés punches Alejandro, falling him to the ground as the other conquistadors mock him.)
Hernán Cortés: "What a shame! If only you would obey me more often, this wouldn't have happened."
King Carlos I: "Alejandro Barragan, for your insubordination and paranoia, I discard you from the duty!"
Queen Isabel of Portugal: "Take him off of our sight! From this point, he's no longer affiliated with the Spanish Crown!"
Conquistadors #1 and #2: "Yes, your majesty!"
(The conquistadors take the rapier off of Alejandro as they hummiliate him out of spite by kicking him down, and then one of them send the former herald out of the throne. One day later, we see a disemployed Alejandro, wearing dirty clothing in the streets of Sevilla. Many citizens see him with prejudice, especially a mother and her son.)
Kid: "Mom, what's doing him here?"
Mother: "Don't talk to this undesirable, son."
Kid: "I recognize this guy earlier ago. He's Alejandro Barragan!"
Mother: "How many times I said that we only talk with decent persons."
Kid: "Fine, mom."
(Then, we see a brown moustached spainiard wearing a white and red knight armor and wielding a halberd. This man in question is Manuel Gutiérrez.)
Manuel: "You don't seem with good mood, compatriot."
Alejandro: "Are you?"
Manuel: "¿Es que no me reconoces, tío?" (Translation: Is that you don't recognize me, sir?)
Alejandro: "I know who you are!"
Manuel: "That's right! I'm Manuel Gutierrez, elite soldier of the Spanish troops!"
Alejandro: "Good for you."
Manuel: "Say, what happened?"
Alejandro: "The Spanish Crown fired me for apparently not following their orders despite the fact that I almost sent the report."
Manuel: "I feel pity for you."
Alejandro: "Not only that, my former master Hernán Cortés branded me as a paranoid."
Manuel: "Listen, not because you served him doesn't mean you cannot make your own decisions."
Alejandro: "I understand what you said, Manuel."
Manuel: "However, do you want to take a second chance?"
Alejandro: "How?"
(Manuel sends Alejandro's rapier back to the latter's hands.)
Manuel: "From now on, the decision is yours to take, without anyone ordering like a pawn. Fight now like a free man, and you will suceed!"
Alejandro: "¡Gracias, señor! (Translation: Thanks, sir!)"
Manuel: "Good luck on your future endeavors, Alejandro!"
Alejandro: "I will!"
(Later, we cut to the grasslands of Spain as we see Alejandro wearing back his signature outfit and mounted to Caballo Veloz.)
Alejandro: "No matter what they think about me... I will make my own destiny, regardless of the circumstances! Hear me, people... I'm back... to rise!"
(The camera starts to focus on Alejandro riding in front of it as the screen makes 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 papyrus with ink-stained reflections of the Animal Spirits while the credits are rolling.)
