"All in good time my dear, for now you don't need to know anything" Astra states sternly,
"But Mother I can help collect her! The Winter Soldier hasn't done anything, she hasn't even attempted anything yet!" Millicent shouts.

"Wha...What the hell" a giant vortex opens in front of her
"No! Not again" Leandra screams as she's sucked into the vortex.

The Winter Soldier waits a moment "First, may I offer you some advice?... Millicent, you need to keep her on our side Mistress" Astra looks at her "I know, but her battling Kilina like that, could have brought memories back. And I cannot let that happen!" "I understand Mistress".

"Ugh, no! If they find that book my plans could be ruined! I need to break Kilina more! She needs to turn, I need to get Soul Edge close to her!" Astra stomps around thinking "Hmm, I know Soul Edge is in Astral Chaos somewhere... I must find it!" Astra shouts her daughter, Millicent in.

"You're right! She could, I mean I saw her freak out back at the house... Maybe she has it on her!" Klymene smiles. Alex keeps searching for a moment and finds a mysterious book "Kl.. Klymene, is this the Amulet?" Alex shows Klymene the book he found, the front picture is the Amulet. Klymene snatches the book from him
"Yes, that's the Amulet! What does this book say?".

"Ah damn it, she took my sword.. I would have been able to smash right through these chains! We have to escape! I need to find my weapons!"

In Astra's throne room, Astra is standing looking very pleased with herself "Yes! This is perfect! The niece of Kilina captured. This could be enough to break her. Now all I need is to get Kilina to search for her" Astra lets out an evil laugh.

**Episode 14 - Searching for a Cure**

Kisandra is with Kilina "Kilina how could you suggest the Amulet? You know the dangers it has! Anyway, isn't it in Leandra's world? How would we even get there?" Kisandra panics
"Kisandra please, we have to do something she can't be dead she just can't!" Kilina begs. Kisandra stops and looks at Kilina, her eyes filled with tears "Fine.. We will search for a way. We will ask Ivy, surely she knows how to cross through worlds" a knock is then heard on the door. It's Abelia.

"Abelia? What are you doing here?" Kisandra asks shocked. Abelia burst in past her and runs to Klymene's bedroom "Klymene?! Klymene are you here?" Abelia shouts. Kisandra looks startled
"What? She's gone? I thought she was here?" Kisandra panics. "Oh no! I saw Klymene at Ivy's Library, she was with a boy. I didn't catch his name but she's searching for the Amulet! The next minute the room is filled with purple smoke and she was gone?!" Kisandra runs and grabs her sword and shield
"Kilina I'm sorry but I need to find my daughter" Kilina breaks down "No.. It's my fault, she went after the Amulet because of me! I'm such a failure I'm sorry!" Kisandra looks down "Kilina.. Please be strong, I need to go" Kisandra runs out and Abelia follows suit. Right outside Tira is standing
"Searching for the Amulet? I WILL FIND IT FIRST!" Tira attacks.

"Yes! Thank you daughter! I knew you could do it!" Astra takes the evil sword and places in on a mantle "Soon Kilina, you will learn the truth!". Astra walks over to the middle of her throne rooms and does a spell, the spell acts like a live video feed and Astra is watching Kisandra.
"Damn it! I should have known it would be Kisandra who goes looking for Klymene! Hmm... Millicent! I need you to go and kidnap Leandra Scott, but do not get caught by Kilina!" Millicent nods and runs off.

Millicent teleports to Earth and begins to head towards Kilina's home. As she is on her way she overhears Kisandra and Abelia talking...

"Kisandra... What's wrong?" Abelia asks, Kisandra looks over at her saddened "It's Kilina... She's been acting so strange lately... It's like she is breaking down... I'm worried Soul Edge is going to malfest her again"
"Kisandra, don't worry! Soul Edge is in Astral Chaos.. Unless the portal to Astral Chaos opens again Kilina is safe". Out of nowhere Millicent jumps out "Your sister won't be safe for long" Millicent attacks Kisandra, however Abelia jumps in the way and blocks the attack "Don't worry, I'll protect you!"

"No! I will not let you!" Kisandra shouts, Millicent smiles "We already have your daughter!". Millicent kicks Kisandra in the shin, jumps up, and runs away!

"Ugh, if they would have captured me... Mother would have been so angry!" Millicent says to herself as she continues onwards towards Kilina's home. After a few more minutes of walking Millicent arrives, she walks round to the back of the house and spots Leandra's body through the window. Millicent grabs the window and quietly slides it up to open it, she climbs inside and begins to walk towards Leandra.. With her eyes focused on Leandra Millicent doesn't notice Ivy standing in the corner of the room
"You! I know you, Millicent! Begone from here!" Ivy shouts and attacks Millicent.

Kilina falls to her knees, with her head down. With no noise she slowly raises her head, she opens her eyes which have now turned a pink/red colour.
"No more fun and games" Kilina mutters to herself.

**Episode 17 - Journey to Chaos**

Kisandra runs over to Abelia's unconscious body "Abelia wake up, wake up!" Abelia slowly starts to open her eyes "Ugh, where.. .What... Where is that little brat gone?!" Abelia shouts
"She got away, but I now know where Klymene is... Astral Chaos" Abelia looks at Kisandra, shocked. "As.. Astral Chaos? Kisandra, you can't really be considering going there? Opening a portal there is dangerous you know what happened last time!" Kisandra looks down "Abelia I know... But she's my daughter I can't lose her!".
Out of the shadows Kilina emerges
"You're not going" Kilina says "I am" Kisandra looks over at her shocked "Wha? Kilina no! Wait, what... What happened to your eyes?" Kisandra runs towards Kilina worried, Kilina puts her head down "Nothing! I am doing this, this is all my fault Kisandra! Now... Please forgive me" Kisandra stumbles backwards as Kilina pulls out a potion, she throws it towards Kisandra and Abelia and they both disappear "I have to do this alone".

In Astral Chaos Astra is watching Kilina "Yes! Yes! She's breaking, her eyes are turning... Soon, her whole body will become malfested... And Kilina will realize her true destiny! Winter Soldier!" The Winter Soldier enters Astra's throne room "Yes Mistress"
"Go, collect Kilina. She is just about breaking, you will lose the battle against her, but as she knocks you down say "Klymene" and the rest will fall into place" The Winter Soldier nods and disappears.

"What did you just say?" Kilina asks "Klymene" The Winter Soldier repeats. Kilina raises her sword to The Winter Soldiers throat "Where is Klymene?!" Kilina shouts. "Look girly" The Winter Soldier pushes the sword out the way and stands up "Just follow me".

Back in Astral Chaos Millicent returns with Leandra's body "Here Mother, I have what you want!" Astra smiles "Great daughter, now take her to the dungeon then give her this.. It will bring her back to life" Millicent nods and heads for the dungeon. When she arrives she chains Leandra up and feeds her the potion.
"What is that? What are you feeding her?" Klymene asks "You will see..." Millicent states. Leandra's body glows and she screams, she takes a deep breath and is breathing again, she is alive. "Leandra! You're alive" Klymene shouts. Leandra looks around, confused. "Please, you have to let us go!" Klymene begs Millicent
Millicent walks over to Klymene "I can't.. Your Aunt is expecting to see you..." Millicent walks out.

"Don't worry" Leandra says "I'm not called "The Legend" for nothing" Leandra manages to break her chains and free herself. She grabs her weapon from the ground and shoots bullets towards Alex and Klymene, their chains break too. Back in the throne room Astra hears the commotion, she rushes to the dungeon "But how?" She asks shocked. Sneaking up behind her Klymene attacks, however Astra teleports away "Foolish girl, did you really think you could hit me" Astra shouts. Klymene, Alex, and Leandra flee to the throne room
"There is no escaping Astral Chaos!" Astra says. Klymene spots The Amulet in the corner of her eye, she runs towards it and grabs it "Nooo!" Astra screams. Klymene pushes a button on The Amulet and her, Alex, and Leandra disappear.

**Episode 19 - Homeland**

"Where... Where are we?" Klymene asks, Leandra looks around "We.. We have returned to my world!" Klymene stumbles backwards, shocked. "Wait! Where's Alex gone?!"...

In Klymene's world Alex wakes up outside the Cassaventes residence, he stands up and opens the front door. He walks to the back room and notices Ivy knocked out, he gets some water and throws it over Ivy to wake her up.
"Ugh..." Ivy stirs as her eyes begin to open "What happened here? Who are you?" she asks. Nervous, Alex stumbles "I.. I... My name is Alex".
"Ugh..." Ivy grabs her head "I sense someone is at my Library. Are you coming along?" Alex nods and the pair set off to Ivys Library. When they arrive a man is at the entrance.
"I've heard their are books filled with magical information inside! I will not let you stop me retrieving it!" the Man attacks.

"Are you coming? Or are you just going to keep looking at him in awe?" Ivy asks. Embarrassed, Alex blushes and steps over him. "It's okay Alex, people will still accept you" Ivy states as she lets out a slight smile. Alex blushes and rushes on ahead inside.

**Episode 20 - Reunited**

Alex and Ivy make their way up the steps, at the top are giant doors to Ivy's library. She opens them and inside are Kisandra and Abelia, trapped in a pink, magical bubble. Ivy says a spell and the bubble burst. Kisandra and Abelia fall to the ground
"Thanks Ivy" Kisandra states, she looks behind Ivy's soldier and notices Alex "Alex? Is that you?!" Kisandra smiles and runs over to him, the pair hug.
"I can't believe it's you! Wow, you have grown! Your hair has gotten longer too!" Alex blushes and tussles his hair. "What are you doing here anyway?" Kisandra asks. "I was in this Library not so long ago looking for a book to help me.. My shield, Raphael has been stolen" Kisandra looks confused "What? But how? I thought you said no one can steal it?"
"I thought that too... But someone found a way... I.." Ivy interrupts "Did you say Raphael? As in the Guardian Angles Michael and Raphael?"

Shocked Alex nods. "I have many books about Guardian Angles, I will most probably be able to find Raphael. Do you have your sword on you?" Alex nods and passes Ivy his sword. Ivy gathers some potions and lays Alex's sword on the ground, she pours the potion over the sword. A few flashes appear and Michael emerges.

"Alex, it is good to see you. However I must make this quick. Raphael is in Astral Chaos, the Queen Astra has him. You must go now, his power is draining.. Alex save him!" Michael disappears.
"So... I have to go to Astral Chaos... But.. I awoken without Klymene... Where is she?" Kisandra looks at Alex shocked "Did you say Klymene? She is my daughter!

"Klymene found the Amulet? It could have taken her anywhere! That Amulet can travel through time and space.. She could be anywhere! Kisandra begins to panic "Don't worry Kisandra, we will find her, the Amulet, and Kilina. I promise!" Abelia reassures Kisandra.

In Leandra's world things are looking grim for the duo.

"Come on Klymene, my home is just ahead!" Leandra and Klymene are near Leandra's home, the closer they get the more they begin to see that the portal is still active.
"Yes, it's still open!" Klymene exclaims. The pair run to Leandra's home and into her bedroom, where the portal is. Klymene hesitates to jump into the portal "Come on Klymene, it's safe I promise. Be brave!" Leandra grabs Klymene and jumps into the vortex.

Back in Astral Chaos Astra is impatiently waiting for The Winter Soldier to return. Astra is angry, The Winter Soldier is taking too long, and Millicent has failed her. "Mother I..." Astra turns around and snarls
"You! You have failed me once again, you couldn't even keep the prisoners is suit! I should have known you would never be good enough to work for me, I don't know why I raised you!" Millicent falls down to the ground "Mother I'm sorry!" Astra looks at her with anger on her face "Stop calling me Mother! I am not your Mother!" Millicent runs out crying.

The Winter Soldier appears in Astra's throne room. "Mistress, I have her". Astra smiles as Kilina reveals herself from the shadows.
"Kilina... I have been waiting for this day for a very long time" Astra states. "I am not interested in what you want. I just want to know where my niece is!" Kilina says angrily. "Oh Klymene? She was here... However, your "friend" Leandra Scott kidnapped her" Astra teases Kilina.
"Leandra is dead, don't play games with me! Where is my niece??!" Kilina, getting more angry falls to the floor holding her head "Ugh... Soul Edge..... It's here" Kilina states.

Back on Earth Kisandra, Alex, and Abelia are heading to the Penitentiary of Destiny in Spain. "Kisandra are you sure you wan't to do this? Opening Kilik's statue again could result in Astral Chaos merging with our world once again.." Abelia says, worried. "I am sure.. Abelia, I will do anything to save my family" Kisandra is determined to do whatever it takes.
"Everything will be fine" Alex states "Ivy gave me this book before we left, it has a spell to open Kilik's statue safely" Kisandra and Abelia nod and the trio continue onwards. They reach Kilik's Temple and hop on the raft to the statue.
Traveling on the raft Alex here's a strange noise, a wooden-like create floats down from above. "I am Yoshimitsu the second" the creature states. Yoshimitsu emits a green light that knocks Abelia and Kisandra out, Alex is protected by his sword however. "I guess it's up to me" Alex attacks.

"Oh Klymene I'm just glad you're safe!" Kisandra hugs her again "and Leandra, you're alive!" Kisandra hugs Leandra. Klymene runs over to Alex and hugs him too "Alex you're safe!" Klymene exclaims, Alex smiles "As are you! I am glad". Abelia looks over at everyone smiling, however the happiness is short lived as the world starts shaking and Kiliks statue begins to crack.

In Astral Chaos Astra is watching the scene, Kilina is knocked out in the corner. "Those idiots! Astral Chaos is once again merging with Earth! Well... I guess this may be enough to break Kilina!". Astra awakens Kilina "Kilina, your family is arriving as promised" Astra lets out an evil smile. Kilina jumps up and looks at Astra's screen of her family.

On Earth everywhere is still shaking.
"No! Astral Chaos is merging again!" Abelia states "It must be because you never finished the spell" Everyone panics. Kilik's statue breaks to pieces and Astral Chaos burst out, everyone is sucked through into the Chaos. Everyone appears floating around Astral Chaos. In the distance is Astra's castle.
"Come on, over there in the distance is where me and Alex where captured. That's where your shield will be Alex!" Klymene states. As everyone is heading to Astra's castle a loud roar is heard in the distance. "That sounds like Night Terror, we must hurry" Kisandra says. Everyone rushes towards the castle.

**Episode 25 - Michael and Raphael**

Kisandra, Klymene, Abelia, Leandra, and Alex all arrive at Astra's castle. They land on a huge platform, and stand in front of huge metal doors. Inside Astra grabs Kilina "Look, your family is here" Kilina looks onwards in a dazed, weakened state. The heroes enter the castle and Alex's sword begins to glow
"What's going on?" Klymene asks "I think.. I think Michael is showing me where Raphael is!" Alex's sword floats up into the air and begins to lead Alex to Raphael. Alex follows suit, his sword leads him to another dungeon, where Edge Master is protecting his shield. "That sword is as powerful as that shield! I must have it, who knows what could happen if the True Evil gets a hold of these!" Edge Master attacks. Alex blocks the attack and worries that he will be killed in this battle, as he knows how powerful Edge Master is.

Klymene looks over at him and smiles "I told you Alex!" she says. "Well come on, we have to find whoever kidnapped you now! And I bet Kilina is here too!" Abelia says. In the darkness a voice is heard "Of course I am here".

**Episode 26 - Winters Ending**

Kilina is standing in the shadows, Kisandra runs over to her "Kilina you're okay!" Kisandra attempts to hug her but Kilina does not react. "Kilina?" Kisandra looks at Kilina worried, she sees that Kilina's arm is beginning to show signs of malfestation. "No, no, no! Kilina looks we're all here we're all safe!" Kisandra tries to reassure Kilina everything is okay. "Look, Leandra is alive, Klymene is here!" Leandra walks over to Kilina "Le..Leandra... You're alive?" Leandra smiles "Yes, I am!" "and.. And Klymene?" Klymene walks over to Kilina "I'm right here Aunt!" Kilina smiles, the malfestation on her arm begins to disappear.

"NO!" A loud shout is heard from above. "My plan cannot fail now!" Astra flies down and with a click of her fingers everyone is transported to the throne room. Millicent is tied down and The Winter Soldier is standing alongside Astra's throne. "What do you want from me you creature!" Kilina shouts at Astra. Astra smiles "I am Queen Astra! And Kilina, you are the true evil, the true power to Astral Chaos! I need you to join me and take over the entire universe! Every single world, every single time period will belong to us! I have been trying to break you to become malfested.. However that proved to be difficult!"

**Episode 27 - Truth of the Past** - Cutscene Only

Astra walks over to Millicent and unties her mouth "You see Kilina, I was hoping I didn't haven't to do this.. I thought you would have broke easier" Astra says "But you see her here" Astra strokes Millicents hair "She is.." Millicent interrupts Astra
"Mother why are you doing this? I've always been loyal to you! Please let me go!" Millicent begs. Astra snarls and slaps Millicent "For the last time I am not your Mother!"
"What do you think you are doing? You misguided this poor girl into being evil just to do your dirty work!" Kilina shouts at Astra. Astra lets out an evil laugh "Oh Kilina, you can't be more wrong. She came from the true evil of Astral Chaos. Millicent came from you!". Kilina stumbles back shocked
"You're lying!" Kilina shouts, Astra smiles "Am I?" Astra walks over to her screen and waves her hand in the air, on the screen events from the past are played "Watch this then Kilina".

The screen goes black and on screen text appears **"Many Years Ago"**
Astra is in her throne room holding the seed of Astral Chaos in her hand. "Astral Chaos is dying.. I need to plant this seed into a human in order for Astral Chaos to not destroy itself.. But who? I need a pure specimen" Astra flicks her wrist in the air and looks through different humans, she comes across a baby named Kaarina. "Hmmm, Kaarina means pure. She will do perfectly!" Astra smiles and disappears.
Astra appears in Kaarina's room and abducts her. She implants the seed of Astral Chaos in her and erasers the babies memory just in case. She returns Kaarina before her parents notice she is gone. Astra returns home and laughs "with that seed inside her she will give birth to a child of pure evil in the future! Then we can merge the realms together and take over the entire universe!" Astra laughs.

Years later Kaarina is pregnant with her first child, Kisandra. She gives birth to Kisandra months later, Astra was pleased she had waited for this day for years! Astra visit's the newly born baby Kisandra "What?! She is not the seed? How could this happen?? The seed, it didn't activate? Kaarina needs to get pregnant again!" Astra storms away and waits once again. Eventually Kaarina became pregnant with her second child Kilina. The seed activates and implants itself into Kilina, the unborn baby now carries the whole evil of Astral Chaos inside her. Kaarina gives birth to Kilina soon after but with the birth of Kilina Kaarina's memories are restored. She remembers being abducted, she remembers the seed. Torn inside, Kaarina had no idea which child had the seed inside them, and thus abandoned both children on the streets, with a heavy heart. Astra discovered that Kaarina left the children and was angered, she feared the children would die and so she took them and brought them to the kingdom of Grandall. She left the children at the doors of Grandall Castle and then went to kill Kaarina and her husband in revenge for abandoning Kilina.

Back in the present
"You killed our parents?" Kisandra shouts angrily "You bastard!" Kilina shouts, Astra laughs "Ah yes.. Seeing Kaarina scream when she saw me. It was great!" "You are truly evil!" Kilina shouts. "Oh no I'm not Kilina, you have the seed inside you! And my tale is still not finished.. It's time to find out about your daughter" Astra smiles and looks over at Millicent.

**Episode 28 - The Daughter of True Evil**

A black screen appears on screen again, white text appears and says **"Thirty Seven Years Ago"**.
The King of Grandall steps outside of the castle, he see's the two babies and takes them in. He looks at Kilina and instantly knows exactly what is inside her, he knows she is the true evil, the seed to Astral Chaos. Being a selfish, power mad king he gets the most intelligent people around to do experiments on Kilina. Experiments to remove the seed and use the power for himself. For years Kilina was experimented on, being a baby she had no idea what was going on. Years past and as Kilina and Kisandra got older the researches had to start taking precaution while doing their experiments. They managed to get a hold of some magic, magic powerful enough to put Kilina and Kisandra in a deep sleep, this was Kisandra wouldn't catch them experimenting, and Kilina would never know what was going on.

When Kilina reached the age of sixteen the researches where mildly successful. They managed to obtain a very small amount of the seed from Kilina's body, although small the researches told the King about their breakthrough and he ordered them to create a living being from the fragment. A being that would be very powerful and contain the power of Astral Chaos, this being would be able to help the kingdom in battle and take over the world. However there was one problem, they needed a host and some DNA to create new life. The researches got some DNA from Kilina and used her as the host, the other DNA came from the seed itself. The researches implanted the mutated fragment inside Kilina and she became pregnant. However, Kilina did not know she was pregnant. The researchers put a magical spell on Kilina so that her stomach would not grow, and thus she would not look pregnant. Kilina was only pregnant for about a month as the seed grew at a rapid rate. When the baby was due to be born the King personally used magic to put Kilina in a deep sleep, he done this in an attempt the get the baby out. The king got a scalpel and was about to cut Kilina's stomach open to get the baby out. Just as he presses the scalpel at her stomach a giant purple light appears out of nowhere, Astra appears. "You fools! Do not mess with what you do not understand!" Astra uses a safety spell and gets the baby out herself "Kilina can not be injured, she needs to be alive and safe!" Astra shouts. "Did you really think a tiny bit of seed would be powerful enough to take over the world? You idiots! The baby will come with me, and if you dare harm Kilina again I will destroy your kingdom!" Astra disappears with the baby in hand. In Astral Chaos Astra holds the baby closely "Your powers could be useful however. You will serve me, my dear... My dear Millicent."

Back in the present day.
"It's true... Millicent is my daughter" Kilina falls down crying. Astra laughs "Yes, yes she is! And now, to finally break you.. I will kill her!" Kilina screams "No!".

Millicent falls silent and falls to the ground. "No!" Kilina shouts. Kilina stands up now with a malfested arm and dark hair. "NO! You have destroyed everything and everyone I love!!

**Episode 30 - A Dark Destiny** - Ending

Kilina falls to the ground, still holding onto her sword... "No.. I know just what to do!" Kilina jumps up and runs to the other side of the room, she grabs Soul Edge. "What are you doing? You're just helping yourself malfest!" Astra says laughing. "No, I'm killing you!" Kilina runs over to the Amulet and activates it's power, a vortex opens within the Amulet and Kilina point it towards Astra. Astra laughs loudly "You ignorant fool! This is just what I wanted! You'll see, you have enacted my plan!" Astra laughs as she is sucked into The Amulet. The vortex closes and Kilina holds Soul Edge and The Amulet tightly.

After Astra is sucked into the vortex everyone comes back to life, including Millicent. Millicent stands up and a light glow surrounds her, her outfit begins to transform and her hair colour changes, Millicent transforms into her true human form. Kisandra and everyone run over to Millicent after witnessing her transformation.
"You.. You really are Kilina's daughter! And my niece" Kisandra says as she hugs Millicent. Millicent walks over to Kilina who is still standing there holding Soul Edge and The Amulet "Moth... Mother?" Kilina ignores Millicent for a moment. "I won't let anything harm my family.. The Amulet needs to be destroyed!" Kilina says, she throws the Amulet to the ground and pierces Soul Edge right through it. The Amulet shatters into pieces and bright lights and sparks fly from Soul Edge and the Amulet. Many gruesome screams are heard, the Amulet's power and Soul Edges start merging together, flying around in the air. The stream of power emitting from them flies towards Kilina, the power enters Kilina's body through he scarred eye. Kilina lets out a scream as red streams of power emit all around her, Kilina's body changes, her skin becomes more grey, her eyes malfest, the transformation is complete. The power of the Amulet escaped into Kilina, she is now the most powerful, evil thing in the entire universe. Kilina is the true evil of Astral Chaos.

Kisandra runs up to Millicent and pulls her away. The shattered Amulet restores itself but lays on the ground with no more power. "We have to leave now!" Leandra shouts, Kisandra cries "I can't shes my sister!" the entire castle begins to shake. Klymene also cries "Mom she's right! We have to go, Kilina is insane there's nothing we can do right now!!" Kisandra breaks down and falls to the floor, Alex goes over to her "Kisandra we will figure something out! But Klymene is right, Kilina is going to kill everyone! We need to go!" Kisandra snaps "Go where?" she shouts "Astral Chaos was merging with our world when we arrived everywhere is probably destroyed by now!" Kisandra cries more. Kilina Ω begins to walk towards Kisandra, she lets out a scream and with a wave of her sword she makes everyone go flying across the stage and get knocked out, except for Kisandra. "Your Soul is so pure sister! I am evil, I am the seed of Astral Chaos. I must consume your Soul!" Kilina Ω attacks Kisandra, Kisandra doesn't fight back and flies across the room.
"Oh what's the matter? Won't you fight me?" Kilina Ω goes to attack Kisandra again but this time Kisandra blocks her attack, Kilina Ω looks shocked at Kisandra. "I'm sorry. I cannot let you harm anyone else!"

Kisandra falls down and cries, Klymene and Alex run towards her and hug her, also crying. Abelia begins to cry at the scene also, and even Leandra lets out a tear. Millicent walks over to Kilina's body. "I never got to know the real you.. But someday I will" Millicent says. Millicent walks over the the Amulet and picks it up "Wait a second" she notices how the jewel on the Amulet is now blue "The Amulet still has power! It was overcome with Dark magic but that's inside Kilina, with dark magic also come light magic! The Amulet is now filled with light magic! Kisandra, you are the opposite of what is inside Kilina, you are pure and good just like your Mother. You can wield this power and stop the merge!" Millicent states.
"Can I.. Can I bring Kilina back" Kisandra asks, Millicent looks down "I don't think so". Kisandra puts her head down and cries harder "Okay" Kisandra mumbles. She stands up and grabs The Amulet of Millicent "Let's go home" she holds the Amulet in the air and a bright blue light beams out of it. The light fills the entire castle and Soul Calibur comes down and lands in Kisandra's hand. "Goodbye, sister" Kisandra says one last time as she as her friends are transported back home. Kilina Ω's body lays in the center of the Throne room, alone.

**Epilogue**

Kisandra, Klymene, Alex, Abelia, Leandra, and Millicent appear outside Kilik's statue. Kisandra uses the Amulet and places a spell on the statue for it to never be opened again. She then uses the Amulet to return back home with everyone. Outside her home everyone mourns the death of Kilina. Everyone cries as Klymene and Alex hold onto Kisandra. After mourning, everyone begins to part ways.

Leandra walks to Kisandra "I promise we will find some way to bring Kilina back to us, I promise you that.. I must return home however, I have some problems to deal with.. Including The Winter Soldier" Kisandra nods and the pair hug, Kisandra uses the Amulet to send Leandra home. Alex walks towards Klymene "So.. What next?" Alex asks "We will find a way to get my aunt back! I know we will!" Alex smiles and admires Klymene's confidence "I know you will" Alex kisses Klymene on the forehead. "Here" Klymene says, Alex looks towards her as she take out her bow "You have it, it will be a reminder of me!" Alex smiles and attaches the bow to his chest. "Thank you" he says, "I need to deal with a few things, I promise I will be back and I will help you get your Aunt back!" Alex hugs Klymene and walks towards Kisandra.
"I'm leaving now Kisandra.. Listen, I will be back we will get Kilina back I promise" Kisandra cries a little more and hugs Alex. Alex then walks off into the distance.

Millicent begins to walk away, "where are you going?" asks Kisandra "I don't belong here... I'm a bad person, I helped Astra break and destroy my own Mother!" Millicent says crying.
"No, Astra tricked you. You're good, and you do belong here. Look, you have physically changed... You look just like Kilina" Kisandra smiles, Millicent runs towards her and hugs her.. Finally part of a family. Abelia walks towards Kisandra and the others "the kingdom I came from was one of the causes for Kilina's destruction, I will go there and have my revenge for Kilina! Don't you worry her death won't be in vein, and we will retrieve her Soul I promise!" Abelia says her goodbyes and leaves.

Kisandra, Klymene, and Millicent remain, and they swear the will get Kilina back no matter what. The screen fades to black and the text reads:

**Sometimes, the one's you love succumb to darkness.. But the bonds of family are stronger than any other bond, love will always find away. For now however, A Dark Destiny awaits**

**THE END**

## Trivia

* The character select screen has 30 slots two of which are random and Custom characters respectively.
* You can now select your weapon on the character select screen like in the classic *Soulcalibur* games (pre Soulcalibur IV).
* This game uses the Soulcalibur V engine like it's predecessor Soulcalibur Astral Swords.
* In the Beta, Kilina had short hair (resembling her hair from Soulcalibur III) but this was changed as it made her look younger than what her actual age is.
* The last story episode of *Soulcalibur Astral Swords* is called "A New Light", the name of this game.
	+ The episode was called this as the sequel was already planned and it was a hint to this game.
	+ The last story episode of this game is called "A Dark Destiny" the name of the sequel and final game in the trilogy.
* *Kilina* and Kisandra's Mother appeared in a flashback.
	+ Although it was previously stated that both the Mother and Father would appear and both their names would be revealed.
	+ The Mothers name was revealed to be Kaarina.
* It was previously stated that we would find out more backstory on both the sisters but more so *Kilina*. However we only got backstory on *Kilina* and *Kisandra* was mentioned.
* Alex's 1P Costume is slightly different in story mode as it is missing the bow. This is because he doesn't get the bow until the end of the game. Therefore his story mode model is a whole different model than his actual 1P costume.
* The original story concept for the game was very different than that of the final product. Originally there was going to be a twenty-eight year old Klymene from the future who travels to the current time period using The Amulet. She came back in time due to the events of the previous game and a certain event that would have happened in this game, which causes a time altering crisis to happen in the future filling the world will malfested people and the Astral Realm being fully merged with Earth. *Klymene* comes back to find the root causes of the destruction and kill them... *Kilina*.
	+ This concept was scrapped in early development but a promotional poster for the future *Klymene* was made.
	+ This would have made *Klymene* the main Protagonist of this game and *Kilina* would have been the Antagonist.
* In the Beta, *Klymene* had an entirely different appearance. This version of *Klymene* appears on one promotional poster also.
* The post credit scene in *Soulcalibur Astral Swords* shows the silhouette of Astra. However that scene originally didn't exist as the story for this game was not final. The scene was patched in after the announcement of A New Light and after the developers settled on a story.
	+ The scene was added to connect the two games together.
* The characters Leandra Scott and The Winter Soldier are characters created by SoulGauger.
* The game contains 30 episodes in total, plus the epilogue. That is five episodes (six if you include the epilogue) more than *Soulcalibur Astral Swords*.
