= STORY MODE: =
== Prologue: ==
(Shows the book in one page a drawing of Jean appointing with his gun while he smirks, followed by his name below, and then in the other page, a series of texts will show up with the following prologue here.)
The first thing when it comes to your mind when the word "Pirate" is mentioned is seafaring illicit activities and criminal violence with the objective of stealing valuable objects, often living with their motto of "No prey, no pay", and the more loot they get from the treasure chests, the more prize reward for capturing them raises.
In France, one of the most feared pirates is Jean DuBois, who started his career at his short age of 16, and since then, he's among the most wanted criminals in the European region for his illicit activities of plundering gold mines, damaging public property and even avoiding capture by the French authority.
Jean's desire to become more notorious is evident on his quest for a treasure hidden in the dark region of Deathopia, so he and his crew are now travelling in the seven seas with the objective of getting the treasure chest, which is rumored to have a valuable object hidden inside.
== Stage 4 Interlude - VS. Gunnar Rulfson ==
=== Pre-Fight Cutscene: ===
(Scene takes place in the Village of Vikings. Gunnar is walking to his boat.)
Gunnar: "My adventure here will begin!"
(Then, Gunnar looks and sees a pirate ship landing, as we later see Jean stepping foot to scene as he greets Gunnar.)
Jean: "Bonjour, viking!"
Gunnar: "What are you doing here, pirate?"
Jean: "I want to seek a cooperation between us."
Gunnar: "No deal, criminal!"
Jean: "You know, if we work together, we could become the best of 'da buds!"
Gunnar: "Buzz off!"
(Jean and Gunnar clash their weapons for a while before they retreat back to the square one.)
Jean: "Then, I challenge ya' to a duel!"
Gunnar: "Your days as a pirate will be counted!"
(Both are now in their fighting stances.)
=== After Match Cutscene: ===
(Gunnar starts to get up.)
Jean: "Any last words before I leave?"
Gunnar: "You want information? You got it!"
(Gunnar then explains to Jean.)
Jean: "Say it quickly before I blow yer' brains with mah' gun!"
Gunnar: "In my house, there's a world map. You can find the location of Deathopia.
Jean: "So this means I spare ya'?"
Gunnar: "Only if my crewmate Rydell will bring it to you." *notices Rydell*
(Rydell Sorensen comes from Gunnar's house with the world map.)
Rydell: "Here's the map that he needed, boss!"
Jean: "Gimme me that!"
(Jean takes the map from Rydell and then reads.)
Gunnar: "For what reason do you want to go to Deathopia?"
Jean: "There's a booty I need to take!"
Rydell: *says silently to Gunnar in the ear* "Beware, boss. He's not to be trusted."
Gunnar: "I know."
(Jean finishes reading the map.)
Jean: "Well, that means I must go! See ya, suckers!"
(Jean goes back to his pirate ship and leaves the scene as he rides. The camera focuses on both Gunnar and Rydell shruging.)
Gunnar: "I don't get it!"
Rydell: "Me too!"
== Fated Battle - VS. Haruto Kazama ==
=== 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.)
Jean: "Just wait... the booty will be mine!"
(Just when Jean is almost stepping the bridge, a Shuriken is thrown behind. Fortunately, Jean turns around and picks the Shuriken with his cutlass.)
????: "Your acts piracy will be over, kaizoku!"
(Haruto then shows up in a puff-a-smoke in front of Jean.)
Jean: "Nice try, scurvy ninja!"
Haruto: "But not for a long time, Jean DuBois!"
Jean: "Can you dare to stop me?"
(Jean launches his Water Gun while Haruto launches his En-Ryuu-Zan as both collide.)
Haruto: "I will not take this easy... Iza, jinjou ni! Shoubu!"
Jean: "Well then... I will take the big prize once I finish with you!"
(Both are now in their fighting stances.)
== After Match Cutscene: ==
(Haruto attempts to get up, but Jean appoints his gun to the ninja's forehead.)
Haruto: "Jean, you cannot threaten me with that gun!"
Jean: "Can you tell me why you came here?"
Haruto: "Nobunaga-dono told me that the menace known as Deathstructor is located in the castle."
(Jean stops appointing.)
Jean: "That makes two of us!"
Haruto: "Really?"
Jean: "However, since I'm not to be trusted... I have bad news for ya'!" *whistles*
(Then, Jean's crew appear to scene and they tie Haruto with ropes.)
Skinny Pirate: "Captain, what are we doing with him?"
Jean: "Send him back to Japan!"
Haruto: "No! Unless I have defeated Deathstructor first, I wouldn't return!"
Fat Pirate: "Our captain needs to finish his duty before you, pretty boy!"
Haruto: "I will sue you with Nobunaga-dono after this!"
(Jean runs towards Deathstructor's castle.)
== Sub-Boss Cutscene: ==
(We cut to Deathstructor's lair as we hear his laugh as he sees Jean 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 Jean walking towards, as a black energy teleports him to a platform in a cave with lava surrounding it.)
Jean: "Arr... this place really smells like sulfur."
(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!"
Jean: "Heh, heh! What are doing a strange creature like ya'?"
Mantigore: "For your information, pirate, I am Mantigore, your worst nightmare!"
Jean: "Ya' don't look threatening for me!"
(Mantigore screams in front of Jean. The latter is now in his combat stance afterwards.)
Mantigore: "You think I'm not threatening? I will show you that I'm actually like that!"
Jean: "Heh, heh! I guess dis' means war, mate!"
== Final Boss Cutscene: ==
(Mantigore gets up easily.)
Mantigore: "You seem so strong... for a pirate like you!"
Jean: "I was just looking for the booty, you know."
Mantigore: "My time here is over... go to his throne room as I'm resting myself in peace back at my homeland."
(Mantigore's eyes start to close as his ethereal body starts to disappear in front of him/her.)
Jean: "Send a greeting to Davy Jones from mah' part!"
(We cut to Deathstructor's lair, as he gets angry for Mantigore's vanishing, seeing through a crystal ball.)
Deathstructor: "This is completely absurd! How a low-life pirate like him would beat Mantigore? And because of this, I will apply the death penalty to him!"
(Deathstructor's skeletal right hand glows to the crystal ball. We cut back to the cave as Jean is feeling a strange sensation.)
Jean: "The treasure will be mine!"
(Dark energies causes Jean 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 insolent Jean DuBois... in the flesh!"
Jean: "More respect to me, old geezer!"
Deathstructor: "There's no respect to you, for I am Deathstructor, the future harbinger of apocalypse!"
Jean: "Yeah right... Say, ever heard of Davy Jones' locker?"
Deathstructor: "Oh, that one pirate myth about that place? I don't recall that a stupid ghost like him owned a locker."
Jean: "That's because said locker is a metaphor for hell, and don't call him stupid."
Deathstructor: "Whatever. As a matter of fact, what do you come to the place?"
Jean: "I want the big cheese I'm seein' here!"
(Jean appoints with his cutlass to the treasure chest located at right of Deathstructor's throne.)
Deathstructor: "No! You will not getting this posession of mine! By the way, all the pirates are the same, plundering everything they see, backstabbing in mutinies, and such stuff. And because of that, my undead invasion is the answer to your dirty deeds."
Jean: "Don't dare to insult me... and mah' comrades!"
(Jean shoots with his water gun to Deathstructor, which he grabs the bullet with his hand and breaks it. Then, 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 Jean.)
Deathstructor: "You think you are going to take what is rightfully mine? You're wrong!"
Jean: "So ya' decided to step up! Time for you to be eradicated!"
Deathstructor: "It is you that you will be eradicated in the so-called "locker" once I will kill you!"
(Jean is now assuming in his combat stance.)
== Ending cutscene: ==
(Deathstructor is defeated, however he gets up easily.)
Deathstructor: "I already hate you... and only you, low-life pirate!"
Jean: "I will take da' booty! If this doesn't disturb ya'!"
Deathstructor: "No, you don't!"
(Deathstructor runs towards Jean and attempts to attack him, but is countered by his water gun, shooting the skeletal ruler in the chest. Deathstructor starts to feel that his ironic death is starting now.)
Deathstructor: "Why this is happening to me?"
Jean: "Tell Davy Jones yer' torture will be awaiting in his locker! Au revoir!"
(Jean summons Sharkripper, allowing the shark spirit to take the treasure chest and both of them leave the castle as the components of it are starting to fall while energy waves are starting to surround Deathstructor.)
Deathstructor: "You will feel the effects of scurvy soon, Jean DuBois!"
(The waves cause Deathstructor to explode into bones. We cut to Jean leaving the castle and rides with Sharkripper as the Deathopian castle is falling into pieces. We cut later to the pub where Jean and his crewmates are drinking beer while a pirate folk song is heard. Said crewmates are of different hair colors and sizes, and one of them is a female.)
Skinny Pirate: "You did a good job, captain!"
Jean: "Thanks to ya', my duty for the booty is now complete!"
Midget Pirate: "Can you show me the reward, please?"
Jean: "But with one condition... don't ever sell the gold to mah' enemies!"
Pirates: "Okay!"
(Jean opens the treasure and sees a huge amount of gold coins, alongside with jewels and a mystical artifact called the Scepter of the Dead.)
Fat Pirate: "So, what's this thing?"
Jean: "This is da' Scepter of the Dead. Legends say that whoever uses the object will reanimate the undead with only using it."
Huge Pirate: "What are you doing with that object?"
Jean: "I will safeguard it to a good friend of mine I met in the journeys!"
Female Pirate: "You mean Tifa Eillan... I heard she's sly and deadly, not to mention deceitful."
Jean: "Don't understimate the business I do with my closest allies."
Midget Pirate: "We cannot allow this to be used in the wrong hands!"
Jean: "Don't worry... I wouldn't!"
(Then, we see Destin Abelino, who's wearing his primary Epic Blades II attire, opening to the door and signals Jean.)
Destin: "Stop right there, criminals!"
Pirates: "Oh no, it's Destin Abelino!"
Jean: "Arr... not that scurvy musketeer again!"
Skinny Pirate: "You know him, captain?"
Jean: "Yeah! He's targeting me and my good friend Calixte le Charognard so he can put us in jail!"
Fat Pirate: "This is bad!"
Destin: "In the name of the French Empire, you will be arrested!"
Huge Pirate: "What are we going to do?
Jean: "There's only one solution for this... RUN!"
(The crew are running to evade Destin's pursuit in circles for ten seconds.)
Destin: "Hey! Don't run, cowards!"
(After that, they leave the pub. The camera focuses then on the Pirate Dock as Jean and his crew are running. Tifa shows up and signals to the pirate boat.)
Tifa: "Come with me if you want to survive!"
(They start to go aboard in their pirate boat, except Tifa, who receives the Scepter of the Dead from Jean.)
Jean: "Thank ya', Mademoiselle!"
(Destin then appears and warns them.)
Destin: "Come back here right now!"
Jean: "Sorry to say that, Monsieur Abelino, but we're leavin'!"
(Destin gets shocked with his mouth wide open while Tifa elbows him.)
Tifa: "That's my lover!"
(The camera later focuses on Jean starting to grab the handle of the boat.)
Jean: "All aboard, comrades!"
Pirates: "Hoo!"
(Then, the female pirate grabs the spyglass and sees an island. The name of said female pirate is revealed to be Mariette Lombard, Jean's loyal second-in-command. She's described as a black haired woman with blue eyes, and wears a modified version of Nami's attire from One Piece.)
Mariette (voiced by Luci Christian): "Look! We found an exotic island!"
Jean: "All right... let's make this journey more interesting!"
Pirates: "At your orders, captain!"
Jean: "Sooner or later, I will become the King of Pirates!"
(Jean steps in the front part of the boat and appoints with his cutlass with his crewmates raising their hands as the screen freezes 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.)
