Namco × Capcom/Story/S36:Stage
《Makai: Tower of Druaga - Intermediate Floor》
Xiaomu: "I... I can't take it anymore..."
Tarosuke: "Huh? What's the matter?"
Tarosuke: "I mean, sure, the enemy attacks were pretty fierce on the way here, but..."
Xiaomu: "That's not it! It's the stairs!"
Reiji: "Huh?"
Xiaomu: "They build a tower this ridiculously tall, there should be an elevator, or at the very least, an escalator?!"
Xiaomu: "Stop making an old lady do all this heavy lifting!"
Guy: "To give up over something as trivial as this... your training is sorely lacking."
Waya Hime: "Want to take a quick break here? My sensors aren't picking up any movement or heat signatures... Looks like there aren't any enemies on this floor."
[Soul Edge]
Mitsurugi: "We have no time to be taking it easy. "Soul Edge" must be located somewhere within this tower."
Mitsurugi: "Besides, there's also the matter of Gilgamesh and his group, who went on ahead."
Taki: "...I cannot speak for Gilgamesh and his group, but as for "Soul Edge"... it may be close by."
Mitsurugi: "What...? What do you mean, Taki?"
[Mekki-maru]
Taki: "Look... Mekki-maru is crying. "Soul Edge"... it is likely nearby."
Kagekiyo: "Kunoichi, is this true? That the legendary blade lies upon this very floor?"
Taki: "I have no absolute proof. But... it is certainly worth investigating."
Ginzu: "According to Armor King and Gilgamesh's accounts, "Soul Edge" had somehow found its way inside a treasure chest... is that correct?"
(Looks toward the treasure chest in the back)
Reiji: "A treasure chest... True enough, we haven't seen any on the floors we've traversed so far, but there is indeed one sitting here on this level."
Koumu: "I wonder if there are any wet towels inside?"
Felicia: "What kind of treasure chest is that?"
Felicia: "Oh, hey, how about over here?"
King: "Hey, Felicia." "Don't act on your own."
(King & Felicia, Chun-Li & Cammy, Hideo & Kyoko, and Rose move to the center)
Kyoko: "Treasure chests... I see."
Hideo: "Even in such a secluded place..."
Chun-Li: "They seem to be scattered all over the place. Is "Soul Edge" in one of these?"
Rose: "Even if we wanted to check... it looks like we'd have to break the lock."
Cammy: "It could be a trap. We should be careful."
Taizo: "If that's the case... my gut feeling tells me it's this way."
Taizo: "Some of you, come with me!"
Morrigan: "Seriously, this is the Tower of Evil, and there's no sense of tension at all."
(Taizo, Morrigan & Lilith, Kurino & Sabine, and Haggar move to the cells)
Taizo: "See? There it is. A mountain of treasure!"
Sabine: "What a fool. ...Did you sniff it out or something?"
Krino: "But you're right—there really are a whole bunch of treasure chests sitting behind those iron bars."
Lilith: "With this many, there's a chance that 'Soul Edge' is in one of them!"
Haggar: "Let's check them out before the enemies come."
Reiji: "We'll take a look at the treasure chests over there too."
Reiji: "We'll go up the next set of stairs after that."
Xiaomu: "Phew... now I can rest..."
Xiaomu: "I wonder if a foot massage machine will come out of the treasure chest."
Hideo: "Oh, that would be great. If so, we could probably climb another 20 floors."
Kyoko: "...Hideo-sensei, don't forget our objective. We need 'Soul Edge'."
Kagekiyo: "...We must hurry. That sword, 'Soul Edge'..."
???: "Ho ho ho... I won't let you do that, Kagekiyo."
Kagekiyo: "......!"
(Minamoto no Yoritomo, 3 Skeletons, 2 Onihimes, 4 Biwa Priests, Fujin, and Raijin appear)
Yoritomo: "The 'Soul Edge'... I cannot let you have it."
Kagekiyo: "Yoritomo...!"
Waya-hime: "They didn't trip my sensors...?"
Mitsurugi: "Tch. So this is Minamoto no Yoritomo...!"
Taki: "That inhuman 'presence'... It is unlike even Yoshitsune or Benkei. Be on your guard; this is an extremely dangerous adversary."
Haggar: "To think he let us walk right into an ambush like this."
Cammy: "This treasure chest... Was it a trap after all?"
Chun-Li: "Don't tell me... Did Gilgamesh and the others who went ahead... fall victim to these guys!?"
Yoritomo: "Have no fear. The only one I seek is Kagekiyo."
Yoritomo: "...I have no interest in the rest of you. I shall leave you to the 'Druaga' that lies ahead."
Taizo: "...So that means Masuyo and the others made it upstairs safely, then."
Reiji: "That’s excellent news. The fewer loose ends we have, the better."
Xiaomu: "Is this really the time to be chatting with such smug expressions? Watch the distance between us and the enemy!"
Yoritomo: "Ho ho ho... We can hardly cross blades if we stand too far apart, now can we?"
Morrigan: "Cross blades... is it?"
Morrigan: "Where are your escorts, Yoshitsune and Benkei? You certainly seem to be taking us rather lightly."
Yoritomo: "They have their own duties to attend to. Until those are finished, I shall amuse myself by keeping you company."
Lilith: "He's totally laid-back, isn't he?"
Sabine: "We'll knock that smug look right off his face!"
Kurino: "He looks like a tough opponent... but we absolutely cannot lose!"
Kagekiyo: "..."
Mitsurugi: "Kagekiyo! You've got a grudge against this guy, don't you? Why are you just standing there spacing out!?"
Yoritomo: "I know exactly what you are thinking, Kagekiyo. Ho ho ho..."
Tarosuke: "Kagekiyo! Snap out of it! What’s gotten into you?"
Kagekiyo: "..."
Rose: "It seems something is troubling him... but we can't just stand around like this forever."
King: "Agreed. For now, getting out of here is our top priority. Let's go, Felicia!"
Felicia: "Okay! Let's go take down that Yoritomo guy while we're at it!"
Ginzu: "The enemy's ringleader stands right before us... We must not let this golden opportunity slip away."
Guy: "Understood. If this man is one who sows chaos in the human realm... then he must be struck down!"
Yoritomo: "Ho ho ho... You fools from another world who know not your place. Come, then."
[Yata no Kagami] [Yasakani no Magatama]
Kagekiyo: (Two Sacred Treasures are now gathered... Can I do it? Can I bury him—right here, in this very spot?!)
[Scenario 36: Heroes of the Demon Palace]
8 enemies remain or Yoritomo's HP falls below 70%
Kagekiyo: "You're open, Yoritomo...!"
(Kagekiyo & Tarosuke move next to Yoritomo)
Kagekiyo: "O Yasakani no Magatama! O Yata no Kagami! Grant me your power!"
(Kagekiyo cuts down Yoritomo)
Yoritomo: "Nuuoooh!"
(Yoritomo is scattered)
Tarosuke: "You did it! You actually did it!"
Reiji: "Fast...! That footwork... that sword stroke... It was flawless."
Xiaomu: "L-O-V-E! KA-GE-KI-YO!"
Xiaomu: "...Something like that! You took him down in a single blow!"
Kagekiyo: (Did I... strike true!?)
(Minamoto no Yoshitsune, Musashibo Benkei, Kiso Yoshinaka, Pooka, Mage Pooka, Fujin, and Raijin appear)
(Yoshitsune, Benkei, and Yoshinaka move towards the center, breaking down the nearest door if it wasn't already broken)
Haggar: "Those samurai...!?"
Cammy: "Enemy reinforcements? It seems they were stationed on the floor above us."
Chun-Li: "The Genji clan's boss... Yorimoto's entourage, I presume."
Pooka: "..."
Taizo: "And what's more, they've brought along those Baraduke mutants...!"
Kagekiyo: "...Yoshitsune."
Yoshitsune: "So you were on this floor after all, Kagekiyo."
Benkei: "You are here as well, I see... Mitsurugi."
Mitsurugi: "And what if I am? ...Perfect. Let's settle this right here and now!"
Taki: "Minamoto no Yoshitsune, Musashibo Benkei, and Kiso Yoshinaka...?"
Taki: "Heh. Looks like you're a step too late."
Yoshinaka: "Too late... you say, woman?"
Felicia: "That's exactly what I mean! We just finished slicing your ringleader to ribbons—barely a moment ago!"
Yoshitsune: "...Brother, I have returned."
[Soul Edge]
Benkei: "'Soul Edge' is, in all likelihood, located somewhere on this very floor."
Sabine: "...These guys aren't listening to a single word we're saying."
Sabine: "I told you already! We took care of Yorimoto..."
Yoshinaka: "Are your eyes merely holes in your head?"
Kurino: "Don't tell me... he's still alive!?"
Kagekiyo: "..."
(Minamoto no Yoritomo reappears)
Yoritomo: "Ho ho ho ho... It seems your skills have improved since last we met... but you cannot defeat me."
(Yoritomo moves to the north part of the map)
Yoritomo: "The games are over, Kagekiyo."
Kagekiyo: "Ngh... Just as I suspected...!"
Hideo: "Wh—What is the meaning of this!? We definitely defeated him, didn't we...?"
Kyoko: "Was he just playing dead?"
Ginzu: "No, that's not it... Could this be... a regenerative ability!?"
Lilith: "Huh? What? H came back to life?"
Reiji: "Sorcery...!? But... is such a thing even possible!?"
Xiaomu: "Hey, Kagekiyo! You... you knew about this all along, didn't you!?"
Kagekiyo: "..."
Guy: "Kagekiyo... how do we defeat him?"
[Kusanagi no Tsurugi]
Kagekiyo: "The last of the Three Sacred Treasures... With the Kusanagi no Tsurugi lost to us, he cannot be defeated."
Morrigan: "Whoa—wait, wait, wait! Are you telling me we have absolutely no chance of winning!?"
Yoritomo: "Ho ho ho..."
Wayahime: "Hey... can't we just use *that*?"
[Soul Edge]
Rose: "...'Soul Edge'."
King: "Are you saying we have no choice but to find it?"
Yoritomo: "It is futile. ...Ushiwaka, finish this."
Yoshitsune: "As you command. Let us go—Oniwaka, Komaomaru."
Benkei: "Understood. Perish in the depths of despair, Kagekiyo."
Yoshinaka: "Regretting the day you dared to defy our clan...!"
Kagekiyo: "..."
Tarosuke: "Wh-what do we do?! In a situation like this?!"
Reiji: "We have to intercept them, no matter what! ...Though the claim that he 'cannot die' is something I can barely bring myself to believe..."
Reiji: "But if it is true, our only option is to wait for an opening and retreat...!"
Xiaomu: "Mmm... If he truly cannot be defeated, then there really is nothing we can do..."
Kagekiyo: (Where is it? Where is it hiding...? 'Soul Edge'...!)
10 enemies remain
Yoritomo: "To think you could hold your ground against my forces for this long... Kagekiyo...!"
Kagekiyo: "..."
Tarosuke: "This is nothing! Don't you dare underestimate us!"
Xiaomu: "That's a spirited boast... but I don't think this is the time to get cocky."
Reiji: "If we let this battle drag on, we'll be at a disadvantage. If the demons within this tower start to gather... we'll be crushed by sheer numbers."
Rose: "Fighting recklessly doesn't seem like it's going to yield any good results."
Guy: "If we cannot strike down Minamoto no Yoritomo himself, might I suggest we at least cut down the subordinates who protect him?"
Ginzu: "Indeed. If he loses his fighting force, the extent of what that wretch can accomplish on his own will be severely limited."
Kagekiyo: "Nay... Unless we sever Yoritomo's demonic power, the Genji army will simply rise again."
Kagekiyo: "Even if we cut down the likes of Yoshitsune and Benkei... it will not truly mean we have snuffed out their lives."
Yoshitsune: "Hyo-hyo-hyo... You understand it well enough."
Benkei: "As long as Lord Kamakura stands, defeat is impossible for us."
Yoshinaka: "Give it up, Kagekiyo."
Cammy: "...So it seems our only option is to crush the head."
Chun-Li: "And since we can't crush that head... we're at a complete dead end. What do we do now?"
Kagekiyo: "..."
Kagekiyo: "...Kunoichi. The location of 'Soul Edge'... is it still unknown?"
Taki: "If I knew, we wouldn't be struggling like this. For a while now, Mekki-maru hasn't cried out..."
[Mekki-maru] (Resonance)
Taki: "Gah!? What...?"
Waya Hime: "Ah—an energy signature...! It's coming from inside that room!"
(The northwest door is destroyed) (3 Charades appear)
Charade: "..."
Mitsurugi: "This monster... those are 'Soul Edge' clones!"
Mitsurugi: "In that case... Hey, Taki!"
[Mekki-maru] (Resonance)
Taki: "Mekki-maru...!"
Taki: "Indeed! There can be no doubt now...! 'Soul Edge' is in that room!"
Kagekiyo: "...Is it true!?"
(Resonance) (Soul Edge appears from the chest in the northwest room)
Lilith: "Yeah, I can feel the power of that sword...! So it really was here after all!"
Morrigan: "Well, at least we’ve pinpointed its location... though I wouldn't exactly say it's time to celebrate just yet."
Sabine: "Why not? We should just hurry up and snatch it while we can!"
Kurino: "...If that sword actually surfaces, our enemies certainly won't sit idly by, Sabine."
Yoritomo: "Ho ho ho... You speak the truth. That wicked blade—it is my clan that shall claim it!"
Kagekiyo: "I will not allow it! Yoritomo, I shall take that sword... for the sole purpose of cutting you down!"
Taizo: "Looks like this is going to come down to 'first come, first served.'"
Haggar: "By the looks of it, their defenses are rock solid. It’s going to be a tough fight... but I suppose we have no choice."
Reiji: "...And what's more, we aren't the only ones here with our sights set on that thing."
Xiaomu: "Reiji...?"
Xiaomu: "Ah, so that's the situation. Leave it to them to show up at a time like this—just like always."
(Saya, Dokugozu, Dokumezu, and 2 Go Tengus appear)
Kyoko: "...I see. So this is what it comes down to."
Hideo: "Even if we had secured the sword and attempted to retreat... it seems our escape route has been cut off."
Saya: "Yoo-hoo!"
Saya: "Oh? Am I interrupting something?"
Felicia: "Can't you tell just by looking?! Why are you wandering around in here?!"
King: "If I recall correctly, she possesses the ability to teleport freely to wherever that sword is located."
Reiji: "Now that 'Soul Edge' has fully manifested, she used its power to make her way here."
Reiji: "...Isn't that right, Saya?"
Saya: "Correct, boy."
Saya: "But don't mind me. I'm not that tactless; I'll just grab the sword and be on my way."
Xiaomu: "That the definition of tactless! We won't allow you to cut in ahead of us!"
Yoritomo: "...Youkai Fox. It has been a long time."
Saya: "Oh, Lord Yoritomo. Long time no see. Traveling all the way out here on business—that must be quite a chore for you."
Yoritomo: "Ho ho ho. Given the bond between you and me, you simply must lend a hand here. I assure you, you won't regret it."
Saya: "Oh my, please don't say things that might lead to misunderstandings."
Saya: "However... as someone whose personal creed is to always honor her obligations, I suppose I can't very well turn you down after being asked like that... can I?"
Taizo: "Huh? What the hell? They just formed an alliance without a second thought!"
Mitsurugi: "Right... I'd forgotten. These two... they've been in cahoots behind the scenes all along."
Xiaomu: "...And so, the farce continues."
Reiji: "It's business as usual. I'm used to it by now."
Reiji: "Whether Yoritomo is here or not, she isn't the type of woman to simply back down quietly."
Reiji: "In any case... the priority is 'Soul Edge'."
Reiji: "I don't care who! Cut through the enemy's ranks and get that sword!"
Saya: "Oh? So you won't play with me, boy?"
Reiji: "I'm a busy man. However... if you stand in my way, I won't hesitate to cut you down."
Reiji: "...Come at me with that in mind."
Kagekiyo: "'Soul Edge'... There is no telling when it might vanish completely."
Kagekiyo: "We must hurry...!"
Saya defeated
Saya: "I was almost there... but as always, you boys just don't give a damn about anyone else's convenience, do you?"
Reiji: "Your 'convenience' is of no concern to me."
Reiji: "...And *my* convenience dictates that I cut you down right here!"
Saya: "Ooh, scary, scary..."
Xiaomu: "It's only scary at first. Rest assured."
Saya: "...With such a golden opportunity right before me, I simply can't afford to get sliced in two just yet."
Reiji: "What...?"
Saya: "Don't you get it, boy?"
Saya: "...That the demonic energy of 'Soul Edge' is currently stable."
Xiaomu: "...True enough... That sword, right now..."
Xiaomu: "You vixen! What are you planning to do?!"
Saya: "Heh heh... Now, wouldn't you like to know?"
Saya: "Ciao."
(Saya retreats)
Rose: "Reiji, what do we do?"
Taizo: "She shouldn't have gotten too far away yet, right?"
Reiji: "It's no good... Given the situation, we can't afford to split our forces here."
Xiaomu: "That wretch... She knew this all along, which is why she had the audacity to sashay away with that 'Monroe Walk' of hers."
Reiji: "...Forget about her."
Reiji: "Right now, we head straight for the 'Soul Edge'."
An ally reaches Soul Edge
Reiji & Xiaomu
Reiji: "Alright! Got it!"
Xiaomu: "This demonic energy... it gives me goosebumps..."
Xiaomu: "Hey, take a look at this. It's really intense right here."
Reiji: "...Don't show me that."
Reiji: "Anyway, with this..."
(Soul Edge resonates, and its glow intensifies.)
Reiji: "Ugh!?"
Xiaomu: "What is this!? Such a sudden surge of demonic energy!"
Kagekiyo & Tarosuke
Tarosuke: "We did it, Kagekiyo! We're the first ones here!"
Kagekiyo: "Indeed. If I use this... perhaps...!"
(Soul Edge resonates, and its glow intensifies.)
Kagekiyo: "Ngh!?"
Tarosuke: "Yikes! Wh-what's going on!?"
Mitsurugi
Mitsurugi: "Heh... so the moment has finally arrived."
Mitsurugi: "Soul Edge... it's mine!"
(Soul Edge resonates, and its glow intensifies.)
Mitsurugi: "...Mgh!?"
Taki & Waya Hime
Waya Hime: "We finally made it. This energy... it truly is incredible."
Taki: "If it didn't possess this level of spiritual power, I wouldn't have any use for it."
Taki: "In any case... I'm going to claim it."
(Soul Edge resonates, and its glow intensifies.)
Waya Hime: "Taki! The energy readings are spiking!"
Taki: "What!?"
Guy & Ginzu
Guy: "We shall take possession of this sword!"
Ginzu: "I only hope this proves to be the secret weapon that turns the tide."
(Soul Edge resonates, and its glow intensifies.)
Ginzu: "Ngh!?"
Guy: "What is happening!?"
King & Felicia
Felicia: "Alright! Got it!"
King: "If we use this sword... can we defeat the Genji?"
(Soul Edge resonates, and its glow intensifies.)
Felicia: "Mrow!? Wh-what is this!?"
King: "Don't tell me... is something about to happen again!?"
Chun-Li & Cammy
Chun-Li: "Alright, that settles it; it's officially seized. Cammy, over to you."
Cammy: "Right. Securing the target."
(Soul Edge resonates, and its glow intensifies.)
Cammy: "Gah!? What just happened!?"
Chun-Li: "Cammy, get back!"
Hideo & Kyoko
Hideo: "We've finally made it this far."
Kyoko: "It is still too early to let our guard down, Sensei."
Kyoko: "Quickly, 'Soul Edge'..."
(Soul Edge resonates, and its glow intensifies.)
Kyoko: "Kya!?"
Hideo: "Kyoko-sensei, step back!"
Rose
Rose: "This power... Yes, I just might be able to use it."
(Soul Edge resonates, and its glow intensifies.)
Rose: "Eh!? Wh—what is this...!"
Taizo
Taizo: "I've got no interest in swords, but this is a job. I'll take it!"
(Soul Edge resonates, and its glow intensifies.)
Taizo: "...Whoa—what the hell?!"
Kurino & Sabine
Kurino: "Soul Edge... So I'm finally going to get my hands on it?"
Sabine: "I just hope it goes smoothly..."
(Soul Edge resonates, and its glow intensifies.)
Kurino: "Whoa! Soul Edge—!?"
Sabine: "Kurino! Get back! It's dangerous!"
Morrigan & Lilith
Lilith: "Yay! We'll take this!"
Morrigan: "Don't get carried away. We still don't know what might happen..."
(Soul Edge resonates, and its glow intensifies.)
Lilith: "Eek! Wh—what is this!?"
Morrigan: "Is something happening again!?"
Morrigan: "...Honestly, what a troublesome sword."
Haggar
Haggar: "Phew... You certainly put me through the wringer."
Haggar: "But now..."
(Soul Edge resonates, and its glow intensifies.)
Haggar: "Whoa! Wh—what is this!?"
Regardless
Reiji: "Don't tell me... it's going to teleport again!?"
Kagekiyo: "I cannot let this golden opportunity slip away!"
Kagekiyo: "That sword is our last hope...!"
Tarosuke: "Hey, Kagekiyo!"
Taki: "Kagekiyo! Stop it! There's no telling what might happen!"
(Kagekiyo & Tarosuke move next to Soul Edge)
Xiaomu: "Can't you think ahead for once, you dummy!?"
Lilith: "Hey, isn't it dangerous to touch that right now...?"
Morrigan: "If you get caught up in the teleportation... there's no telling where you might end up!"
Mitsurugi: "Kagekiyo! Don't rush in like that!"
Kagekiyo: "This blade... I claim it for my own!"
Yoritomo: "Don't tell me...! Kagekiyo!"
Kagekiyo: "Ngh... Aaaargh!"
(Soul Edge resonates, and the screen shakes)
Cammy: "Energy readings are rising rapidly...!"
Cammy: "A spatial distortion is beginning...! This is bad!"
Hideo: "Everyone, get back!"
Kyoko: "Kagekiyo!"
(The glow of Soul Edge spreads to Kagekiyo as well. Following the resonance, the shaking stops.)
[Kusanagi no Tsurugi]
Kagekiyo: "Wh-what is this...?"
Tarosuke: "Kagekiyo's sword... it's changed!?"
Kagekiyo: "Kusanagi no... Tsurugi...!"
Yoritomo: "Wh-what utter nonsense...!? Kagekiyo, enough of your foolish prattle!"
Yoritomo: "You could not possibly possess that sword! That accursed blade was surely lost during the war of old!"
Kagekiyo: "...So this is what Andaba was speaking of..."
Kagekiyo: "Kusanagi no Tsurugi... to think it had been in my hands all along."
Sabine: "...I'm completely lost here. What exactly is going on?"
Kurino: "I don't know... but I suspect it may have been under a seal."
Guy: "A seal...?"
Ginzu: "Something like a limiter function, designed to suppress its output?"
Haggar: "But why would such a function suddenly activate now?"
Taki: "It's 'Soul Edge'. By coming into contact with that sword's demonic aura..."
Taki: "That's right! What about 'Soul Edge'!?"
(Soul Edge resonates, then warps away)
Tarosuke: "I—it vanished...!"
Taizo: "What did you say!?"
Waya Hime: "Along with the spatial distortion, the energy signature has completely vanished... 'Soul Edge' is lost."
Mitsurugi: "Tch! To have it slip through our fingers when we were just one step away...!"
If Saya is present
Saya: "...Wasn't that your chance?"
Reiji: "What...?"
Saya: "Didn't you notice, boy?"
Saya: "...That the demonic power of 'Soul Edge' had stabilized."
Komaru: "...I certainly felt it. Right after it resonated with the sword Kagekiyo has... the demonic aura of 'Soul Edge' wavered."
Komaru: "Was it then!?"
Saya: "Heh heh... Now, wouldn't you like to know?"
Saya: "Ciao."
(Saya retreats)
Rose: "Reiji, what do we do?"
Taizo: "She shouldn't have gotten too far away yet, right?"
Reiji: "It's no good... Given the situation, we can't afford to split our forces here."
Xiaomu: "That wretch... She knew this all along, which is why she had the audacity to sashay away with that 'Monroe Walk' of hers."
Regardless
Felicia: "But hey... with this... we can beat him now, right!?"
King: "Yoritomo, huh..."
Yoritomo: "Ngh... Nuooooh...!"
(Taira no Kagekiyo's radiance subsides.)
[Yata no Kagami] [Kusanagi no Tsurugi] [Yasakani no Magatama]
Kagekiyo: "At last, the Three Sacred Treasures are gathered in my hands. Now is the moment to decide the ultimate victor!"
Yoshitsune: "Don't get carried away, Kagekiyo...!"
Benkei: "I shall protect Lord Kamakura... even if it costs me my very life!"
Yoshinaka: "I will not let you have your way...!"
Yoritomo: "I will not allow it...! I shall never return... to that dark Sanzu River!"
(Yoritomo moves to the stairs leading up)
Yoritomo: "Come forth! Protect me!"
(Silver Dragon, 2 Lizardmen, and 3 Blue Ropers appear)
Chun-Li: "The monsters... are they from this tower?"
Xiaomu: "It would seem so. That dragon, for instance... looks familiar, doesn't it?"
Xiaomu: "Speaking of which... that scoundrel Yoritomo certainly beat a hasty retreat, didn't he?"
Reiji: "...The power of the sword Kagekiyo wields appears to be the real deal. Yoritomo's panic didn't look like acting to me."
Rose: "Yes, he certainly seems rattled. We simply cannot let this opportunity slip away."
Kagekiyo: "...Prepare yourself, Yoritomo."
Kagekiyo: "Genji Clan... this shall be your grave."
Yoshitsune defeated
Yoshitsune: "Oh... Oh... Could it be... that such a thing has come to pass...?"
Yoshitsune: "Brother...!"
(Yoshitsune disappears)
Benkei defeated
Benkei: "Kagekiyo...! Kagekiyoooo!"
Benkei: "Not yet... Not yet... The battle... is not over!"
Benkei: "Not yet... The battle..."
Benkei: "L-Lord... Kamakura...!"
(Benkei disappears)
Yoshinaka defeated
Yoshinaka: "Ah... such bitter regret...! To think... to think... that it would end in such a place...!"
Yoshinaka: "Lord Kamakura... I... failed..."
(Yoshinaka disappears)
Yoritomo defeated
Yoritomo: "Surely not... I...? This... this must be a dream... It cannot be... It cannot..."
(Kagekiyo & Tarosuke move next to Yoritomo)
Kagekiyo: "Yoritomo, return to your original world...! To the world where you truly belong...!"
(Kagekiyo cuts down Yoritomo with Hissatsu Senpuken)
Yoritomo: "I will not fade...! My soul... is... im...mortal..."
(Yoritomo explodes)
If Yoshitsune is present
Yoshitsune: "Oh... Oh... Could it be... that such a thing has come to pass...?"
Yoshitsune: "Brother...!"
(Yoshitsune disappears)
If Benkei is present
Benkei: "Kagekiyo...! Kagekiyoooo!"
Benkei: "Not yet... Not yet... The battle... is not over!"
Benkei: "Not yet... The battle..."
Benkei: "L-Lord... Kamakura...!"
(Benkei disappears)
If Yoshinaka is present
Yoshinaka: "Ah... such bitter regret...! To think... to think... that it would end in such a place...!"
Yoshinaka: "Lord Kamakura... I... failed..."
(Yoshinaka disappears)
Regardless
(All remaining Genji enemies - including Pookas - disappear)
Tarosuke: "...He's... he's gone..."
Xiaomu: "Well, that was certainly a flashy exit. As befits a boss—even his final moments were quite the spectacle."
Xiaomu: "You ought to take notes, Reiji!"
Reiji: "Don't say things that bring bad luck."
Reiji: "Leaving my 'final moments' aside... this is a major victory."
Mitsurugi: "Indeed. We may have let Soul Edge slip away... but it seems the Genji specters have been dealt with."
Kagekiyo: "..."
Guy: "Kagekiyo, it appears you have fulfilled your lifelong quest."
Kagekiyo: "...Mm."
Ginzu: "Hm... Is something troubling you?"
Tarosuke: "Pull yourself together, Kagekiyo!"
Sabine: "I mean, sure, you might have accomplished your objective, but our fight isn't over yet, you know?"
Kurino: "Sabine, don't put it like that."
Cammy: "Nevertheless, the fact that we were able to dismantle yet another enemy organization here is a significant step."
Chun-Li: "True. Now, if only we can defeat Druaga, who resides in this tower..."
Chun-Li: (And... Vega, too, who must be lurking somewhere within Makai...)
Kagekiyo: "..."
Waya Hime: "Honestly! Everyone else is getting all fired up, yet the very person who actually completed the mission has been acting like this the whole time!"
Taki: "Kagekiyo, is something on your mind?"
Kagekiyo: "...Nothing at all. Do not concern yourselves."
Kagekiyo: (My body... despite having struck down that wretch Yoritomo... it has yet to crumble away...)
[Sanzu River]
Kagekiyo: (In the battles of old... when I struck that wretch down... I had already crossed back to the Sanzu River...)
Kagekiyo: (Am I being kept alive...? Or perhaps...?)
If any enemies remain
Reiji: "Getting ambushed from behind would be a hassle. Before we head upstairs, let's clear out the rest of them."
All enemies defeated
Tarosuke: "There aren't any enemies left, so let's hurry up and head to the top!"
Hideo: "Indeed. We've lost quite a bit of time."
Kyoko: "Let's hurry and catch up with Gilgamesh and the others."
Rose: "The reading... isn't very good. It seems we're running out of time."
Tarosuke: "You're in on this too, right, Kagekiyo?"
Morrigan: "Just because you've achieved your own objective, don't you go saying 'I'm out of here' on us."
Lilith: "That would be so boring to quit right here! Come on! Please?"
Taizo: "Whether it's 'fun' or 'boring' aside, you'd better stick with us to the very end. Not after we've made it this far."
Haggar: "Is that clear, Mr. Samurai?"
Kagekiyo: "...As you wish."
Reiji: "..."
Xiaomu: "Hm? What's the matter, Reiji?"
Xiaomu: "You're not exactly pulling off that Kagekiyo impression, you know? For starters, you're missing the kumadori makeup."
Reiji: "That's not it. I was thinking about Saya."
Felicia: "Come to think of it, she did leave pretty abruptly. Said something about things having 'stabilized'..."
King: "That sword... She might just have a plan to get her hands on it."
Xiaomu: "Hmph. As if a vixen like her could ever manage to acquire Soul Edge."
Xiaomu: "That was nothing but an excuse to make a quick getaway."
Reiji: "...I hope you're right."
Reiji: (She may act like a goofball, but she's a woman with a fierce sense of pride. I find it hard to believe she'd stoop to telling such a pathetic lie... And yet...)
