Namco × Capcom/Story/S5:Stage

《Shinkai: Ishtar's Temple》

(Reiji & Xiaomu, Shion & M.O.M.O., and KOS-MOS return)

Reiji: "Sigh... No progress, huh?"
Xiaomu: "Hmm, I don't get it."
Xiaomu: "...But at least, it seems fundamentally different from the world we belonged to."
Xiaomu: "That vixen... she's done something terrible."
M.O.M.O.: "That woman... who is she?"
Reiji: "...An enemy."
Shion: "Momo-chan... Everyone has things they don't want to talk about, you know?"
M.O.M.O. "O-Okay..."
Reiji: "..."
KOS-MOS: "Heat source approaching. It seems to be a separate unit returning from exploration."
Xiaomu: "Did they find anything?"

(Nakamura, Momo, King & Felicia, and Hsien-Ko return)

Nakamura: "We're back."
Reiji: "I'm sorry for the trouble, Nakamura-san."
Reiji: "What were the results?"
Felicia: "I'm telling you, that's not going to get things exciting!"
Reiji: "...?"
Lei Lei: "Well, you know, it's not just about being aggressive in love."
Lei Lei: "It's also important to see how the other person reacts."
Momo: "Hmm, I think if our feelings are connected, the age difference can be overcome... Is that wrong?"
Felicia: "Nya-haha! So naive! You're so naive, Momo-chan! With that kind of attitude..."
Reiji: (...This conversation is still going on?)
Xiaomu: "...You guys were seriously exploring, right?"
Nakamura: "Please don't misunderstand."
Feng Ling: "Honestly... Do these girls even have any motivation?"
King: "At least the three of us have seen a lot..."

(Bruce & Regina, Sakura & Karin, and Hideo & Kyoko return)

Bruce: "We're back."
Regina: "There's no one around... It's like a world of silence."
Sakura: "Sigh... It's no good."
Reiji: "How was it?"
Karin: "It's just as Sakura-san said."
Karin: "...Where exactly is this place?"
Hideo: "However, the air is surprisingly clear, and the scenery is beautiful too."
Hideo: "Yes, it's a lovely place."
Kyoko: "I'd like to take a walk here with you sometime, just the two of us."
Hideo: "K-Kyoko-sensei? N-No... haha."
Shion: "Ah, Arisu-san..."
Reiji: "...You don't have to say it. I understand."
Reiji: "I wish you'd be a little more tense..."
KOS-MOS: "There's no need to worry about that."
M.O.M.O.: "It seems we have to be tense..."
Xiaomu: "What?!"

(6 Kaox appear)

Shion: "Wh-what?! Is it an enemy?!"
Karin: "It certainly doesn't have the air of a friendly neighbor..."
King: "Felicia, have you ever seen anything like this?"
Felicia: "No, I've never seen anything like this mask. But this feeling... it clearly has hostility towards us..."
KOS-MOS: "No similar entities are registered in the past data. Insufficient data."
Komaru: "This is troublesome...!"
Reiji: "It's just fortunate that it didn't appear when we were separated."
Reiji: "Let's go, we might be able to find out something."

(Nakamura transforms into Bravoman)
(Momo transforms into Wonder Momo)
(Bravoman & Wonder Momo pair up)

vs Kaox

Shion & M.O.M.O./KOS-MOS

KOS-MOS: "It's an existence unlike anything we've ever encountered before."
Shion: "There's something floating there that looks like a mask..."
Shion: "What on earth is this world...?"
M.O.M.O.: "But... Shion. There were also those wobbly, gel-like creatures, weren't there?"
KOS-MOS: "If it's an opponent susceptible to physical attacks, we shouldn't be misled by its appearance."
Shion: "Oh, that's right."
Shion: "You two adapt so quickly..."

3 enemies remain

KOS-MOS: "A heat source is approaching."
Xiaomu: "As expected of the enemy's headquarters."
Xiaomu: "Do you know the number?"
KOS-MOS: "One."
Reiji: "Only one?"

(Jin Kazama appears)

Jin: "Finally, there are people... huh?"
Hideo: "A young man? He looks human, but who is he?"
Kyoko: "I don't know, Hideo-sensei."
Kyoko: "He might be a monster that looks exactly like a human..."
Fong Ling: "Jin Kazama!? You again!?"
Hsien-Ko: "You appeared so dashingly again. Were you perhaps waiting for your turn!?"
Jin: "No, it was just a coincidence."
Regina: "A coincidence...? Hey, where have you been?"
Jin: "I have absolutely no idea."
Jin: "I've been walking for almost two hours..."
Sakura: "Ah, um! On the way here, did you happen to see a person in a white and red karate gi and a person in a blue Chinese dress!?"
Jin: "Huh?"

[Location: Spencer Lane]

Bruce: "She's talking about the two karate men who were on the ship."
Bruce: "I don't think you'd know the one in the Chinese dress."
Jin: "No, you're the first people I've met."
Jin: "Besides them..."

(2 Moos, 2 Shield Moos, and 2 Grizzes appear)

Karin: "Those round things...!"
Wonder Momo: "It's those cute monsters that's appeared so many times...!"
Jin: "Damn, they've caught up to us."
Jin: "Besides you guys, I've only encountered these guys who found me along the way and chased after me."
Beraboman: "That's right, let me ask you something."

[Location: Mishima Zaibatsu Building]

Bravoman: "During the battle in front of the Mishima Zaibatsu building... what happened to that man in the black suit, the one who looked just like me, that you chased after?"

[Location: Shibuya Intersection]

Jin: "I chased him all the way to Shibuya... but I lost sight of him."
Jin: "Then I suddenly felt dizzy... and when I came to, I was here."
Reiji: (Shibuya...?)
King: "We should discuss this later."
King: "I don't know what happened or where this place is... but the enemy is clear."
Felicia: "That's right, King. Let's just beat them up!"
Jin: "Yes, I'm also responsible for bringing these guys here."
Jin: "I'll fight too."
Reiji: "..."
Xiaomu: "What do you think, Reiji?"
Reiji: "Why from Shibuya...? The 'Dimensional Seal' should only be effective within a specific range."
Xiaomu: "Is it an exception, or is 'that guy himself' special...?"
Xiaomu: "Hmm, I'm endlessly curious. He's quite a handsome man."

vs Moo/Shield Moo/Grizz

Bravoman & Wonder Momo

Bravoman: "This opponent... it's those monsters that round clown was with, isn't it?"
Bravoman: "It seems this might be his home ground after all."
Wonder Momo: "Some of them have shields... and some even have missiles..."
Bravoman: "Well, we can extend our arms and throw hula hoops at them too."
Bravoman: "I guess we're even then."

Sakura & Karin

Sakura: "I see these round ones quite often."
Karin: "It seems this is the world they belong to."
Sakura: "...Then, that round clown too?"
Karin: "Let's think about that when he appears."
Karin: "...But there's a high possibility we'll meet again. After all, you're being targeted."
Sakura: "Sigh~"

4 enemies remain

Devil Kazuya: "..."
Kyoko: "Ah, a demon...!?"
Xiaomu: "Finally, someone fitting the description has appeared."
Xiaomu: "Hehehe... A fitting opponent for the first street of hell."
Sakura: "Huh!? Was this the first street of hell!?"
Karin: "I can't exactly deny it anymore."
Karin: "Sakura, concentrate."
King: "Truly a demon... But, where have I..?"
Jin: "...You're...!"
Devil Kazuya: "...I have finally gained freedom..."
Reiji: "He can speak...? This guy... seems different from the others."
Hsien-Ko: "He's a troublesome opponent, probably."
Fong Ling: "Is he one of your companions?"
Hsien-Ko: "Not exactly... But I feel a great power."
Felicia: "Demitri...? He has a pointy head, but he's different, right?"
KOS-MOS: "He is most likely human."
Shion: "Huh!? Wait, KOS-MOS!"
Shion: "No matter how you look at it..."
KOS-MOS: "78% of his constituent components match those of a human."
KOS-MOS: "The rest is currently unanalyzable."
Wonder Momo: "Uh, um... C-Cosplay?"
M.O.M.O.: "From the perspective of constituent components, he might be something like a cyborg."
Jin: "...He's not like that."
Bruce: "Hey, you... Are you acquainted with that guy?"
Jin: "..."

(3 Red Arremers and 2 Skeleton Murderers)

Regina: "More of them?! There are some with similar wings...!"
Hideo: "...They... They also look like demons, doesn't it?"
Reiji: "And skeletons? What is this?"
Bravoman: "But judging by the atmosphere, it doesn't seem like he's one of their companions..."
Devil Kazuya: "...Don't get in our way..."
Devil Kazuya: "We want to test this power..."
Devil Kazuya: "Yes... There is a worthy opponent... You, Jin Kazama."
Jin: "...Yeah, I thought so too."
Xiaomu: "It seems there's something going on here."
Xiaomu: (Hmm? That demon and this kid... Do they look a little alike?)
Reiji: "At least, they seem to be enemies."
Reiji: "...We have no choice but to fight... Let's go!"
Devil Kazuya: "That's right... Come on...!"
Jin: "...Let's fight!"

[Stage Title card]

vs Red Arremer/Skeleton Murderer

Jin

Jin: "These guys... they certainly look like demons."
Jin: "But my target is only him...! If anyone gets in my way, I won't show any mercy!"

Hideo & Kyoko

Kyoko: "First we had Japanese monsters, and now it's Western demons?"
Kyoko: "It's like a nightmare, isn't it, Hideo-sensei?"
Hideo: "That's right. But it doesn't seem like it'll all be over just by waking up..."
Hideo: "At least we can do something about it with our own power, so it's more bearable than just a simple nightmare, Kyoko-sensei."

Hsien-Ko & Fong Ling

Hsien-Ko: "These guys... they look like the demons that Raptor brought with him."
Bruce: "Raptor...? You mean that zombie guy we met on the ship?"
Regina: "It seems this place is definitely connected to those guys."
Fong Ling: "Yes, we need to get to the bottom of this."

Reiji & Xiaomu

Reiji: "These guys look like Western-style demons."
Xiaomu: "I specialize in Eastern demons. Besides, I dislike Westerners because they lack 'elegance'."
Reiji: "Do you even possess that 'elegance' you're talking about?"
Reiji: "...Stop rambling and get ready. We're going to strike all at once."

vs Devil Kazuya

After 1 battle

Devil Kazuya: "..."
Jin: "Kazuya Mishima... I have one question."
Jin: "Why... are you in that form, and why are you here...!"
Devil Kazuya: "It's been a long time... until the 'factor' within me awakened...!"
King: "Mishima...!?"
King: "That's right, I heard about him from the previous Father King... the master of Mishima Style Karate...!"
Karin: "I've seen him in documents."
Karin: "The 'cold-blooded heir' of the Mishima Zaibatsu... My father was also once given a painful lesson by him."
Karin: "But..."
Fong Ling: "That's right, Kazuya Mishima... nearly 20 years ago, at The King of Iron Fist Tournament..."
Fong Ling: "He should have been missing since then."
Jin: "...21 years ago."
Bruce: "Won't you tell us? What happened?"
Bravoman: "Yes. And why he's in such a hideous form..."
Jin: "Later. ...We'll talk about it slowly in front of his corpse."
Devil Kazuya: "Heh heh... Can you do it? You... defeat me...?"
Devil Kazuya: "..."
Devil Kazuya: "...You think you can defeat us...? A mere human..."
Komaru: "What...? You're saying 'I' and 'we'... Make up your mind."
Jin: "It doesn't matter. I'll crush him...!"
Reiji: "It's certain that there's a considerable history between them."
Reiji: "...I can't really say anything about others, but in times like these, it's usually pointless to try and stop them."
Reiji: "Let's do this."
Jin: "..."

Jin

Jin: "Where have you been all this time?!"
Devil Kazuya: "I was sleeping. ...It was a long... a very long sleep, Jin Kazama."
Jin: "Then I'll put you back to sleep again."
Jin: "This time, it will be a sleep from which you will never awaken... for all eternity!"

Bravoman & Wonder Momo

Devil Kazuya: "...Wearing such ridiculous outfits... What an eyesore you guys are."
Beraboman: "The same could be said for you."
Wonder Momo: "And that has nothing to do with the fight!"

King & Felicia

Devil Kazuya: "I've... seen you before."
Devil Kazuya: "Yes, a long time ago... somewhere..."
Felicia: "Huh? Huh? ...Are you actually really old, King?"
King: "You must be talking about the previous Father King. This mask... is his memento, and my pride."
King: "To think I would be fighting across two generations... Is this also God's guidance?"

Sakura & Karin

Karin: "The notoriously cold-blooded heir... I never imagined I'd meet him like this."
Devil Kazuya: "Who are you...? I don't know you."
Karin: "That's quite alright. You'll get to know me soon enough."
Sakura: "...K-Kanzuki-san, can't you stop?"
Sakura: "I don't want to attract any more weird attention..."

Bruce & Regina

Bruce: "Is this guy... really human!?"
Hsien-Ko: "He's completely transformed. Although I can't really say much about other people."
Devil Kazuya: "Hahaha... You won't understand. And soon, you won't need to."
Fong Ling: "Regardless of his appearance, his personality is just like Kazuya Mishima's."
Regina: "Mishima... huh. I have so many questions I want to ask."

Reiji & Xiaomu

Xiaomu: "If you are truly Kazuya Mishima... you should have been defeated by Heihachi Mishima in a fighting tournament about 20 years ago, and then disappeared without a trace, shouldn't you?"
Devil Kazuya: "..."
Reiji: "That form... is it due to 'possession'?"
Devil Kazuya: "Ho... You seem different from the others."
Reiji: "...I'm just knowledgeable because of my profession."
Reiji: "And I also know how to destroy it."

KO or after 6 battles

Devil Kazuya: "Is this power...? I'm still not used to it... But even so, this much power..."
Devil Kazuya: "Hehehe... Hahahahaha!"
Jin: "...Are you planning to run away! Kazuya Mishima! You will die here, by my hand...!"
Devil Kazuya: "...Kukuku... Don't bark, Jin Kazama."
Devil Kazuya: "No... My son."
Karin: "What did you say...!? The son of the Mishima Zaibatsu's cold-blooded heir!?"
Fong Ling: (As I thought... They were related by blood.)
Felicia: "Eh!? A half-breed!? I didn't get that feeling at all!"
Jin: "Ku...! Don't say it!"
Jin: "I would never acknowledge that monster who abandoned my mother as my father!"
Regina: "Hey, calm down!"
Reiji: (A man who inherits the blood of a monstrous being...)
Reiji: (Could it be that the reason this man came to this world, even though he wasn't at that place, is...)

(5 Red Arremer Kings appear)

Bruce: "Tch, there's more!"
Sakura: "As expected of the first street of hell... it's full of demons."
Wonder Momo: "They look like they're allies of those red demons..."
Kyoko: "But if they keep coming out like this, we'll just keep getting worn down."
Hideo: "...There's no end to it."
Hideo: "Arisu-kun, we should retreat for now."
Reiji: "...Indeed."
KOS-MOS: "I will secure a retreat route. Is that alright?"
Shion: "Please, KOS-MOS."
Jin: "Go if you want! I'll take care of him!"
Devil Kazuya: "Hehehe... Don't be in such a hurry, Jin..."
Devil Kazuya: "There's plenty of time... for me, and for you."
Jin: "What...!?"

(Devil Kazuya retreats)

King: "He escaped?! What incredible speed!"
Jin: "Kazuya Mishimaaa!"

(The Red Arremer Kings leave)

Bravoman: "Huh!? The demons flew away too?"
Hsien-Ko: "W-What did you come here for?"
M.O.M.O.: "It seems like they went after that person."
Reiji: "So we weren't even on their radar?"
Xiaomu: "That's so frustrating... It's humiliating to be completely ignored."
Reiji: "We avoided a pointless fight. Don't complain."
Jin: "..."

[If there are any enemies remaining]

Reiji: "Let's take care of the remaining guys."
Reiji: "It seems these guys have no intention of pursuing Kazuya Mishima."

All enemies defeated

Kyoko: "...Well, it seems to have quieted down for now."
Regina: "There's a possibility of ambushes."
Regina: "Those kinds of people are just waiting for this kind of situation."
Xiaomu: "Hmm... In that case, it might be even better to pull up stakes."
M.O.M.O. "Pull up... huh? What does that mean?"
KOS-MOS: "It seems to be an anagram of 'changing locations'."
KOS-MOS: "Given the current difficulty in understanding the situation, I don't necessarily think it's the best course of action."
Xiaomu: "Ugh... a-another rejection..."
Reiji: "I'm not defending her, but things won't get better if we just stand still."
Bravoman: "Both are valid points. Now, what should we do?"
Jin: "I've decided. We'll chase him... Kazuya Mishima."
Hsien-Ko: "Now, now, calm down."
Hsien-Ko: "He's gone off somewhere, so even if we try to search for him... you know..."
Jin: "...Even so."
Reiji: "Kazama, your relationship with him... I don't mind if you don't want to talk about it."
Reiji: "But, given the current situation... and also, given my position, I can't let you, a civilian, do anything reckless."
Xiaomu: "Hmph, acting all high and mighty. You have a similar opponent yourself, don't you?"
Felicia: "And since it involves a woman, it seems even more deeply rooted than Jin's situation."
Wonder Momo: "It's... deep..."
Reiji: "...It's not deep."
Sakura: "But... if Jin was somewhere else, that means Ryu and the others are somewhere else too, right?"
Sakura: "If that's the case... I want to go look for them too."
Karin: "However, that's just a possibility... there's no confirmation."
Hideo: "That's right. I don't think we should act separately."
Bruce: "But, splitting up to gather information is also a valid option, isn't it?"
Fong Ling: "That would disperse our forces. What would we do if we were surrounded by a horde of demons like before?"
Shion: "This is getting... confusing."
Xiaomu: "Hmm. We can't seem to come to a conclusion."
Xiaomu: "...Something that could be a catalyst..."

(Ishtar comes out of the temple)

???: "..."
Xiaomu: "Whoa, who's that?"
Xiaomu: "There shouldn't be anyone inside the building, right?"
King: "...This divine radiance... w-what is this...?"
Felicia: "W-What's wrong, King?"
???: "...I've witnessed your battle."
???: "Please come in. I have something to discuss with you."
Reiji: "A discussion...? They don't seem to be an enemy..."
Reiji: "Hmph... a 'catalyst,' huh? On the contrary, I'm starting to have a really bad feeling about this."
