= STORY MODE: =
== Prologue: ==
(Shows the book in one page a drawing of Red Axe raising his right hand with his tomahawk, followed by his name below, and then in the other page, a series of texts will show up with the following prologue here.)
The Sioux are a group of Native American tribes located in the Dakota state of the American region, and within said group, there are seven major Lakota tribes that comprise it. The literal translation of the word Lakota means "Ally", in reference to the alliance of the Great Sioux Nation.
One of the seven Lakota tribes within the Sioux is the Oglala. Representing said tribe is Nazúŋspe Lúta, beter known as Red Axe, one of the best warriors within the tribe. Red Axe is both a hunter, an artist and an ambassador to the Seven Tribes.
The Warchief of his tribe predicted the return of Deathstructor, which means bad news for him and his people, meaning that his tribe would be eradicated, so he tasked Red Axe with only one objective, find Deathstructor and then eradicate him before it's too late.
== Stage 4 Interlude - VS. Shadoz ==
=== Pre-Fight Cutscene: ===
(Scene takes place in the Dark Forest. Red Axe walks to scene and then stands.)
Red Axe: "So... is this Deathopia? I can't see a castle here."
(A wisp shows up, as it turns into a portal, which allows Shadoz to appear in front of Red Axe.)
Shadoz: "You are not allowed to step Deathopia."
Red Axe: "Who are you?"
Shadoz: "I am Shadoz, top enforcer of Deathstructor."
Red Axe: "For what reason he sent you?"
Shadoz: "To kill those who want to get in his way."
Red Axe: "In this case..."
(Shadoz uses his wasp to conjure the Dark Trap. However, Red Axe counters with his Bolt Shock. Then, Shadoz challenges Red Axe and goes to his fighting stance.)
Shadoz: "You shouldn't have stepped here in first place!"
Red Axe: "I don't hold back for nothing! Taste the power of the Oglala!"
(Red Axe accepts his challenge and goes to his fighting stance.)
=== After Match Cutscene: ===
(Shadoz falls to the ground as Red Axe walks slowly before he stops.)
Shadoz: "Why I can't defeat you with all my hatred?"
Red Axe: "Because the power of hatred doesn't solve anything."
(Shadoz tries to get up, but fails.)
Shadoz: "You seek an audience with my master... do you?"
Red Axe: "Exactly!"
Shadoz: "I'm telling one thing... If you're finding the castle... Keep searching!"
Red Axe: "You're not helping me!"
Shadoz: "Trust your warrior instinct... and you shall see the truth."
Red Axe: "Thanks for your information, evildoer!"
(Red Axe then walks out of the stage as the camera focuses on Shadoz still laying down.)
Shadoz: "I failed you, Deathstructor!"
(Shadoz orders his wisp to create a portal, allowing him to get out.)
== Fated Battle - VS. Zi Lang ==
=== 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.)
Red Axe: "Here I am... just as the Warchief indicated me. Deathstructor will be history."
(Just as Red Axe is almost stepping the bridge, a tornado wave appears in front of him. Zi Lang then shows up and lands to the scene from the tornado.)
Lang: "Step aside... I found it first."
Red Axe: "No... I found it first, stranger."
Lang: "I will be the one who will stop Deathstructor at all costs."
Red Axe: "Don't get in my way!"
(Zi Lang challenges Red Axe and goes to his fighting stance.)
Lang: "If you insist on fighting me? Go for it now!"
Red Axe: "As you wish, warrior!"
(Red Axe accepts his challenge and goes to his fighting stance.)
== After Match Cutscene: ==
(Lang is unconscious but still capable of talking.)
Lang: "Are you saying you're going to stop Deathstructor?"
Red Axe: "Yes! Why the question?"
(Lang gets up easily.)
Lang: "My fellow Shaolin Monks were turned into Jiang-Shi."
Red Axe: "Sorry for the misunderstanding."
Lang: "Name's Zi Lang, the last of the Shaolin."
Red Axe: "Nazúŋspe Lúta, Sioux Warrior of the Oglala Lakota."
Lang: "I was considering entering to the place... but since you have proven to be brave, you can pass."
Red Axe: "Thank you, Lang."
(Red Axe and Lang shakes hands for five seconds.)
Lang: "Hope we're meeting again, Sioux."
Red Axe: "By the way, good luck on your purge against the Jiang-Shi!"
(Red Axe runs towards Deathstructor's castle.)
== Sub-Boss Cutscene: ==
(We cut to Deathstructor's lair as we hear his laugh as he sees Red Axe 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 Red Axe walking towards, as a black energy teleports him to a platform in a cave with lava surrounding it.)
Red Axe: "This is not good for me."
(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!"
Red Axe: "My ancestors told me about you, Mantigore."
Mantigore: "Your ancestors caused the eradication of my kin."
Red Axe: "This is not true! And why are you working for Deathstructor?"
(Mantigore screams in front of Red Axe. The latter is now in his combat stance afterwards.)
Mantigore: "For revenge! That's why!"
Red Axe: "I hate to do this, Ancient Spirit... but my duty comes first!"
== Final Boss Cutscene: ==
(Mantigore gets up easily.)
Mantigore: "I judged you bad, Nazúŋspe Lúta."
Red Axe: "Now you are free from your sins, Mantigore."
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/her.)
Red Axe: "Hope you rest well with my ancestors!"
(We cut to Deathstructor's lair, as he gets angry for Mantigore's vanishing, seeing through a crystal ball.)
Deathstructor: "What? How a mere Sioux Warrior put Mantigore down? If this is what you insist... I'll show him that you shouldn't mess with Death incarnate!"
(Deathstructor's skeletal right hand glows to the crystal ball. We cut back to the cave as Red Axe is feeling a strange sensation.)
Red Axe: "Hope this will bring me back to his lair."
(Dark energies causes Red Axe 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: "Nazúŋspe Lúta... I knew you come!"
Red Axe: "Just as I thought, my ancestors predicted your return!"
Deathstructor: "Good observation! I am Deathstructor, harbinger of the upcoming apocalypse!"
Red Axe: "So the Warchief is right about you."
Deathstructor: "The Oglala Lakota... a tribe of brutes who only think of nonsensical bloodsheed."
Red Axe: "Don't dare to speak ill of my tribe."
Deathstructor: "How heartwarming of your part... But I have bad news for you!"
Red Axe: "What are you planning?"
Deathstructor: "The eradication of all lifeforms, not only from your grounds... but also from the more civilized lands of Europe."
Red Axe: "Not for long time!"
(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 Red Axe.)
Deathstructor: "You dare to stop my invasion, red-skinned man?"
Red Axe: "That's racist! I'll show you the power of the Sioux!"
Deathstructor: "Enough talk! Your moment of death will begin!"
(Red Axe is now assuming in his combat stance.)
== Ending cutscene: ==
(Deathstructor is defeated, however he gets up easily.)
Deathstructor: "No! This shouldn't be the end!"
Red Axe: "Evil creatures shall never roam free!"
Deathstructor: "Of course it shall be!"
(Deathstructor runs towards Red Axe and attempts to attack him, but is countered by his tomahawks, 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: "Why? Why you have done this to me? I should have done that to you!"
Red Axe: "That's because you are now perished to the oblivion... I finished with my journey!"
(Red Axe leaves the castle as the components of it are starting to fall while energy waves are starting to surround Deathstructor.)
Deathstructor: "The extinction of your tribe will await soon, Nazúŋspe Lúta!"
(The waves cause Deathstructor to explode into bones. We cut to Red Axe leaving the castle summons Bullshock and mounts to him running as the Deathopian castle is falling into pieces. We cut later to the Dakota Grasslands at night as Red Axe and his fellow Oglala warriors are dancing in the campfire for twenty seconds. After that, the Oglala Warchief makes an important announcement.)
Oglala Warchief: "For the willpower and bravery in his quest against the Deathopian army, I concede you the chance to become my successor to the Oglala Sioux."
(The Oglala Warchief gives his feathered helmet to Red Axe.)
Red Axe: "Thanks, chief."
Oglala Warchief: "Once my fated day comes, you will lead our people to the path of prosperity and peace."
(A vision from the campfire shows up. The vision in question shows the European soldiers feuding against the Native Americans in a foreseeable future, followed by the subsequent colonization. As a result, a messenger advises to the warchief from the ear before he leaves.)
Oglala Warchief: "Nazúŋspe Lúta, someone wants to talk with you."
Red Axe: "Got it."
Oglala Warchief: "I leave you for a while."
(The Warchief, as well as the rest of the tribe, leave for a while as Rudolph Barret shows up and sits alongside with Red Axe.)
Red Axe: "Welcome, visitor."
Rudolph: "It's the first time I step foot in the New World."
Red Axe: "What's your name?"
Rudolph: "Barrett... Rudolph Barrett."
Red Axe: "My name is Nazúŋspe Lúta , one of the best warriors of the Oglala Sioux tribe... and soon to be Warchief."
Rudolph: "I heard about your people earlier on."
Red Axe: "Who told you that?"
Rudolph: "King Henry VIII."
(Red Axe gets worried.)
Red Axe: "The current Warchief received a vision of what we call your people "The White Men"... and I have a feeling that the King you serve is not to be trusted."
Rudolph: "Don't worry... I have resigned. I'm now a freelance knight."
Red Axe: "But still, if the visions indicate, I have the feeling that they will take over not only my homeland, but also the rest of the Native Tribes as well."
Rudolph: "Unfortunately, this will be the sad truth that you and your people you must confront in the future. Are you okay with that?"
Red Axe: "I knew it... "The White Men" will take everything that we are considered sacred. But, are you sure I can trust your word?"
Rudolph: "Regardless of that, your people will be among the surviving tribes once the fated time comes. If anything, we can trust to each other."
Red Axe: "Let's make a truce, so we cannot taint our blood for the foreseeable future. Is that right?" *offers Rudolph a handshake*
(Rudolph thinks for five seconds before he shakes hands with Red Axe.)
Rudolph: "Done!"
(Another vision from the campfire appears. Turns out it's Gretchen reclaiming Rudolph in her lab.)
Gretchen (in the vision): "Hey, lardbutt, remember that I got a date with you! Don't make me mad!"
Rudolph: "I must return to home... Gretchen will kill me if my date with her got delayed."
Red Axe: "Take your time, Rudolph."
Rudolph: "Thanks!"
(Rudolph walks away with his travel bag as he summons Dragolux and mounts on him, leaving the scene. The warchief reappears.)
Oglala Warchief: "Hope your friendship with him will last longer, Nazúŋspe Lúta."
Red Axe: "Thanks, chief."
(Later, we cut outside of home in the grasslands as we see Red Axe running with a group of bufallos, as well as Bullshock, for twenty seconds.)
Red Axe (v/o): "When the time comes, my people will make sure the Sioux Tribes will last longer for an eternity. Until then, I continue with my duties as the next warchief of the Oglala."
(Red Axe then chants in Lakota dialect and rises both of his tomahaws upwards as thunder shocks said tomahawks 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.)
