Episode 13 - Astral Chaos Part 2.
"Astral Chaos? What is that?" asks Kisandra. "Astral Chaos is an alternate dimension and the final resting place of souls which have been devoured by Soul Edge. The core of Astral Chaos, the "Star of Chaos", is surrounded by multiple souls which have blended together." "So, are you telling me Kilina's soul has been devoured" Kisandra looks worried, Abelia puts her head down "Maybe, but when I was in Spain I managed to find the Penitentiary of Destiny and inside it looked like Astral Chaos was coming into our world. There may be a portal there that leads to Astral Chaos" "Well then, I'm going there to find my sister!" Kisandra walks away. "No! You cant its too dangerous! I cant lose you again! Astral Chaos is infinite, you could get trapped in there it will be impossible to find Kilina now!" "NO! I have lost everything, if this is my chance of finding my sister I'm taking it! She will know where Klymene is! And I need you to stay here Abelia to continue looking for Klymene. I know a man named Siegfried he may help you" Abelia gives Kisandra a sad look. "Everything will be fine Abelia don't worry" Kisandra turns around and leaves.
Kisandra arrives at Spain and finds the cave, the entrance of the cave is beaming with light, Astral Chaos has expanded further into the real world. "Okay Kisandra you can do this, its time to see your sister" Kisandra walks into the cave and is transported to Astral Chaos. The screen goes black.
"Okay, Kilina you're here. Now all you have to do is find Edge Master wherever he'll be in this place..." Kilina is floating around in Astral Chaos hoping to find Edge Master and her Niece.

Episode 14 - Edge Master
Inferno flies up into the air, his body twist, and a loud roar is heard. Inferno blows up and from him falls Soul Edge which falls from Astral Chaos into the real world. Edge Master stands there watching Soul Edge disappear. "How... How did you do that?" Kilina asks "I am Edge Master, I know all there is to know about fighting. I have mastered everything". Kilina stands in shock "Do... Do you know where my niece is?" "Yes, she is somewhere here, among the Astral Chaos. But your fate upon finding her is inevitable" Kilina looks scared. "Why? What happens to me? Isn't there anything I can do to save her? To stop all this from happening?" "There is one thing..." Edge Master pulls out a strange looking amulet "This amulet has the power to travel thorough time. It will tell you when certain events will happen in the time period you are in" Kilina grins "Seriously? I can travel through time? With this, I will be able to save my sister! This will stop any of this from happening!" "Yes, but choose wisely as you can only choose one date to travel to then you can only come back to this time no further! Astral Chaos itself spreads across every time period from here you can go anywhere but it is extremely dangerous and many souls get lost!" Kilina looks at the amulet and her surroundings "I'm ready to save my sister Edge Master! And I know just what time period I should go too!" "Well then I wish you good luck" Kilina grabs the amulet, a white flash is then seen engulfing her. She disappears. The screen goes black.
Kisandra is in Astral Chaos. "Wow!" she says as she's looking around "Kilina I hope you're here, I just want to end this madness" Kisandra floats around Astral Chaos hoping to find some clue of Kilina or even Klymene. "This is impossible, I have been floating around for hours... Oh Kilina will I ever find you?" Kisandra is losing hope, thinking that entering Astral Chaos was a mistake. "Wait a second" Kisandra glances over and in the distance sees a giant circular platform "That place... Where have I seen it?" Kisandra floats closer and closer to the platform until she lands on it. Its the Tower of Glory: Most Holy Dichotomy. Upon landing on it she groans and grabs her head "urgh... I... I have been somewhere similar..." Images flash on screen. They show the battle her and Kilina Ω had 17 years ago on a very familiar stage the Tower of Remembrance - Degradation. The images stop. "I remember now! I fought Kilina somewhere like this years ago! Except she was..." "Malfested" a deep mans voice says. "Who.. Who are you? Stay out of my way!" "I am the mighty Algol. Be crushed small human!" Algol attacks Kisandra and the battle begins:

"Ahhh, urgh" Kisandra grabs onto the side of the platform and Edge Master walks over to her "A determined soul... Your soul is very powerful." Edge Master stretches out his hand and helps Kisandra up "Thanks" Kisandra says "But please, you said my daughter is here. Tell me where she is I beg you!" Kisandra cries "Your daughter, Klymene is here... In Astral Chaos... She could be anywhere, Astral Chaos spreads across every time plain its infinite." Kisandra falls to her knees "No, please I have to find her! Don't you know this place well?" Edge Master thinks for a moment "I can become one with the Astral Chaos, but this requires heavy meditation and ultimate concentration.. I must not be disturbed" "Please, anything that will help me find my daughter!" "Okay, follow me" Edge Master leads Kisandra to the Tower of Glory: Spiral of Good and Evil. "What is this place? Kisandra asks "this is the spiral of good and evil, created by Algol whom you just defeated" Kisandra cant stop gazing at everything. "Before I start meditating I need you to test your skills, if I can find her you need to have great skill to get to her" Edge Master says a magical chant and in front of Kisandra's eyes a unknown person appears.

Well, did I prove myself" "You did, I shall now meditate do not disturb me. Disturbance could destroy Astral Chaos and the mortal realm." Edge Master sits and meditates.

While she's looking up she spots something heading down "What the?" a person is slowly descending from the sky and lands right in front of Abelia. "Who are you state your name?" Abelia asks "I..

Where is she?!" Kisandra screams "She went back in time to save you but something has went wrong, the amulet has been destroyed the world is doomed! Space and time as we know it is going to collapse in on itself!" Edge Master shouts! "What are you saying? We're all going to die?" "No, we're all getting erased from time! That amulet was a core part of Astral Chaos, the controller of space and time itself with that destroyed our fate is inevitable!" "No, there has to be a way to stop this!" Kisandra states "But there isn't!" "No, there is" Kisandra runs off. Edge Master look down "It's too late" he sits on the ground as the entire room is sucked into a vortex, along with himself. The screen goes black.
Down on Earth things are just as bad. "You're Klymene? Kisandra's daughter?" asks Abelia "YES! My Mother died years ago!" "Your mothers not dead! she alive! we have to find her before the earth is destroyed!" Abelia grabs Klymene and the pair run. "She's alive? But how?" "No time to explain just run faster!

"Your Mother has went there looking for you! We have to find her NOW!" Abelia grabs Klymene's arm and attempts to run. "You don't have to look no further" Kisandra is standing there "MOTHER!"

The sky returns to normal and the world begins to rebuild its self. Kilina and Klymene walk into the electric energy and return to their own time. The screen goes black.
"Huh, where are we?" Kilina awakens confused? Her and Klymene where transported to Tower of Glory: Spiral of Good and Evil in Astral Chaos. "What are we doing here?" Kilina asks. Standing before her and Klymene is Edge Master "You restored space and time everything is fixed and back to normal. No one will remember any of this happening. It's as if nothing ever happened." "Well that's great for everyone else! But I'm left without a Mother still! After everything we've been through, all the things me and Kilina did to keep my Mother is gone!" Klymene begins to cry again "Your Mother is a savior." Edge Master states "Yeah, that no one will even remember" Kilina says angrily. "Your sister Kilina, your Mother Klymene, was a brave women, she had a pure soul... A pure strong soul that survives a lot and will always find her" Kilina looks interested "Wha... What are you saying?" "I'm saying that, Kisandra is still..." Edge Master is interrupted "Right here!" Kisandra says. "MOM!" "SIS!" Klymene and Kilina run over to her and hug her "But how?" asks Kilina "Like I said, she has a pure, powerful soul, and a family who loves her dearly." says Edge Master. "Now, go home and enjoy the rest of your lives together!" Kisandra looks sad "What about Abelia? Is she alive?" Kisandra asks "Yes. But she wont remember anything" Edge Master says "Oh..." Kilina looks confused "Abelia? I thought we..." "It's a long story" Kisandra says "Well, you have all the time in the world to tell it Kisandra" Edge Master smiles "Now go, the two swords will stay here with me... Oh and Kilina.. I found this" Edge Master hands Kilina her old sword and shield to her Digamma Sword & Nemea Shield "Wow. Thank you!" The trio leave Astral Chaos and Edge Master seals Soul Edge and Soul Calibur away.
Back on Earth the trio are heading home. "Wow, its so good to be home" Kisandra states. She opens the door and standing there is Abelia. "ABELIA?!" "Kisandra!" the pair hug "But, Edge Master said..!" "I know, but I guess he didn't want me to forget" Kisandra smiles and hugs Abelia once again. "Hi Kilina" Kilina looks at Abelia... "I'VE MISSED YOU!" Kilina runs over to her and hugs her! Klymene looks confused "Will someone please explain who she is?" Klymene asks Kisandra and Kilina laugh "Well we do have all the time in the world!" Music starts to play and we see the four of them sitting around the fireplace supposedly telling Klymene everything there is to know about Abelia and their lives. The screen fades to black and the text dialogue says:
The family was restored proving that the strongest power comes from the soul. And with a bit of love and faith, you can achieve anything. A new light shines upon the family
The credits then roll.
THE END!
A post credit scene is played. A silhouette of a woman with huge wings is seen, she appears to be in Astral Chaos. She is heard laughing and then says "Enjoy the peace while you can Kilina.. Because I'm right here!" the woman lets out an evil laugh and the screen fades to black.

Omega also praised the fact that the game is on an Nintendo console. The only criticism Omega had was the fact that Just Guards where removed. Omega's final score was 8/10.
