Namco × Capcom/Story/27:Stage
《Gensokai: Pyramid - Underground Magic Circle》
Felicia: "Whoa, is this thing going to attack us?!"
Klonoa: "H-Hey, we're all covered in fur, so we don't taste good! It'll get stuck in your teeth!"
Gantz: "Me too, you dragon bastard!"
Gantz: "...But, it's not moving at all. Is it even alive?"
Soldier 1P: "You don't need to worry that much. This thing can barely move."
Soldier 2P: "Yeah, its body is already rotting anyway."
Rutee: "Are flying dragons made from things like this?"
Stahn: "Maybe, but you couldn't use something this rotten, could you?"
Super Warrior 2P: "Huh? Hey, that wound on its belly... It looks like it's the same as the one we fought?"
Super Warrior 1P: "...From Dust World to here?"
Super Warrior 1P: "What a long journey. Should I give it a shoulder massage?"
Sabine: "This isn't the time for jokes."
Sabine: "Why is this thing here? And what about the others? There are quite a few missing."
KOS-MOS: "I have detected residual energy reactions that appear to have been generated during dimensional transfer."
Demitri: "...Morrigan and that girl named Lilith... Both of their magical powers disappeared as if they were erased."
Demitri: "Probably..."
Roll: "Could it be that everyone... went somewhere else!?"
["The Third Moon" Entrance]
Hiryu: "...The same thing happened as when you guys were teleported to 'The Third Moon'..."
Hiryu: "That's probably the most likely possibility..."
Kurino: "We were lucky to be able to reunite that time..."
Kurino: "Isn't there any way? A way to find everyone... or bring them back..."
[Soul Edge] [Underground Magic Circle]
Valkyrie: "The dimensional transfer was probably triggered by this magic circle reacting to 'Soul Edge'."
Valkyrie: "Then, there's no other way but to use this magic circle once again."
MegaMan: "Using this circle... that means..."
King: "Hmm. There's a tremendously huge obstacle."
King: "With this, the magic circle won't be able to exert its power..."
Soldier 1P: "What a huge cleanup job. Right, partner?"
Soldier 2P: "Hmph, can't be helped. We'll dismantle it and get it out of the way."
Klonoa: "...Can we eat it if we roast it, Gantz?"
Gantz: "Don't even think about eating it!"
(A Goblin, 2 Golems, 2 Fairies, and 3 Gremlins appear)
MegaMan: "U-Whoa! Gnosis!? Why are they here!?"
Hiryu: "...'Copies'? Are they real...?"
KOS-MOS: "Identification is extremely difficult."
Super Warrior 1P: "It's just a hunch, but I think they're real."
Super Warrior 2P: "Yeah. The edge of the universe, Dust World... It seems the Gnosis has infiltrated it."
Tron: "Does that mean they came along with this dragon?"
Roll: "It's possible. If it transferred by involving the surrounding space..."
Felicia: "Enough with the difficult talk! Anyway, what should we do now?!"
Valkyrie: "The situation has changed slightly... but making the magic circle usable... that remains unchanged."
[Soul Edge]
Kurino: "Indeed. 'Soul Edge' is nowhere to be found either. We should hurry."
Demitri: "In that case... these guys are our immediate problem."
Goblin: "..."
Servbot No. 1: "If Xiaomu were here, we'd understand what they're saying..."
Tron: "That's just a trick, isn't it?"
Tron: "In order to find Xiaomu and the others, we have to get the Dust Dragon out of the way."
Rutee: "If that's the case, let's kick these annoying small fry out of the way!"
Stahn: "Yeah, let's hurry!"
King: "For that... first, we need to make it so we can throw things."
Sabine: "That's what he said. Please, KOS-MOS."
KOS-MOS: "Understood."
KOS-MOS: "Deploying Hilbert Effect."
(Hilbert Effect Deployed)
[Stage Title Card]
2 enemies defeated
Rutee: "They've thinned out quite a bit, haven't they?"
Stahn: "Yeah, at this rate, we might be able to wipe them all out sooner than we thought."
Gantz: "Shouldn't we be careful? I don't think it'll end with just a rotten dragon showing up..."
KOS-MOS: "That seems like a very accurate prediction. A heat source is rapidly approaching."
(Black Valkyrie, Armor King, Rose, and Judas appear)
Black Valkyrie: "...No, the power of 'Soul Edge' was also significant, wasn't it? Hehehe..."
Rose: "..."
Rose: (It's not just that. If my fortune-telling is correct, Ryu's "power of the heart" should also be involved...)
Rose: (I can't see Ryu...)
Rose: (Ryu...)
Valkyrie: "Black Fallen Knight...! Could it be that you... knew about this!?"
Valkyrie: "What was going to happen here...!"
Black Valkyrie: "...Hehehe, you're half right, Maiden Knight."
Black Valkyrie: "The magic circle of Zouna and 'Soul Edge'... I knew that 'something would definitely happen'."
Kurino: "...So you were watching from the shadows."
Sabine: "Don't do such sneaky things."
Armor King: "Let's just say we were waiting for the right moment."
Armor King: "That sword... I can't find it. Didn't you guys get it?"
King: "...Unfortunately. It disappeared somewhere again."
King: "We have to search for our missing comrades now."
King: "Armor King, please move aside...!"
Armor King: "..."
Black Valkyrie: "I won't move. You are an eyesore to me."
Black Valkyrie: "You must disappear here."
Valkyrie: "...Your purpose should be revenge against me."
Valkyrie: "But you have another purpose now... Don't you?"
Black Valkyrie: "..."
Judas: "That doesn't matter. ...Fallen Knight, what should I do? Tell me quickly."
Black Valkyrie: "Don't rush, Dragonbone Swordsman."
(Black Valkyrie gets on top of the Dust Dragon)
Black Valkyrie: "Your objective is to eliminate the Valkyries and secure this magic circle."
Black Valkyrie: "Understood?"
Rose: "...Understood."
Armor King: "Hmph... Very well."
Judas: "..."
Felicia: "Whether it's King's master or the others... why are they listening to her?"
Demitri: "...It doesn't seem like they're being mentally controlled."
Demitri: "You can tell by looking at them. They are fighting of their own free will."
Hiryu: "...They're simply members of the enemy."
King: "That can't be! Armor King, that solitary man...!"
Valkyrie: "...The Black Fallen Knight is an angel who governs death. Their 'souls' are probably bound by her."
Roll: "Binding their 'souls'...?"
Tron: "Isn't it some kind of mind control or something like that?"
MegaMan: "As Demitri said, it doesn't feel like they're being controlled..."
Soldier 2P: "I don't understand much, but anyway, if we beat up that black honey..."
Soldier 1P: "...won't that 'compulsion' or 'binding' be released?"
Valkyrie: "...I wish it were that simple..."
[Sanzu River]
Valkyrie (They are undoubtedly those who have crossed the "Sanzu River"...)
Valkyrie (They cannot resist the Fallen Knight who possess the power to control death... Is there no way to stop them?)
Armor King/Rose/Judas defeated
Armor King
Armor King: "Ugh... Gaaah...!"
King: "Armor King!"
Armor King: "...King..."
(Armor King disintegrates)
King: "Master... this was the only way..."
Felicia: "King..."
Rose
Rose: "...I... I can't die yet..."
(Rose disintegrates)
Judas
Judas: "Ugh... *groans*"
Stahn: "Tell me! What... what is your true identity?!"
Rutee: "What's wrong, Stahn?!"
Judas: "My name is... I am... Judas."
(Judas disintegrates)
Regardless
Valkyrie: "With this, the curse of the Fallen Knight will be broken...!"
Valkyrie: "Return to the world you belong to... Please forgive us... for we could only save you through death..."
Black Valkyrie: "...You saved this person through death?"
Black Valkyrie: "How dare you utter such nonsense in front of me, who governs death and destruction... Green-eyed child."
Valkyrie: "W-What did you say...!?"
Black Valkyrie: "These souls... I hold them in my grasp. It is my power that binds them to eternal darkness...!"
(A dark aura rises from Black Valkyrie. The defeated enemy is revived and the other two are fully healed.)
Soldier 1P: "What?! They've been revived...!"
Soldier 2P: "Tch, what kind of magic did you use?"
Sabine: "The power of the Black Valkyrie...?"
Kurino: "This is... what it means to 'control death'...!"
Valkyrie: "As expected, their souls are bound to the Fallen Knight...!"
King: "...Is this the reason why Armor King is following that person?!"
Armor King: "..."
Black Valkyrie: "That's right. I hold the 'souls' of these individuals in my hands."
Black Valkyrie: "To be precise, I am assisting them with the lingering attachment to life that they left behind..."
Black Valkyrie: "I told you before. These individuals are standing here of their own free will."
Rose: "..."
Judas: "..."
Judas: "...I can't let this chance I've been given slip away."
Judas: "I will atone for my mistakes... with my own hands."
Rutee: "You... no way. Something like that... something like that..."
Stahn: "...Rutee, there's no mistake. This man is..."
Judas: "...I don't know any of you. Don't speak unnecessarily, Stahn..."
Stahn: (...Even in that state... what are you trying to do? You...)
Hiryu: "I don't know what kind of trick you're using... but does that mean there's no way to kill them?"
Demitri: "Soul binding... it's not an uncommon ability in Makai."
Felicia: "What should we do, Demitri! How... how can we save King's master?!"
Gantz: "The one using the magic is the Black Valkyrie, right?"
Gantz: "Then, if we just beat her up..."
Black Valkyrie: "...Want to try? Hehehe..."
(Black Valkyrie gets down from the Dust Dragon)
Klonoa: "Ah! She came down!"
Roll: "Then, then we just have to defeat her!"
MegaMan: "...No, that's probably not a good idea, Roll."
Servbot No. 1: "Huh? Wh-why not?"
Tron: "...That's precisely why she came down, because your prediction is wrong."
Black Valkyrie: "Hehehe..."
KOS-MOS: "It seems to be a matter of probability. As long as the probability isn't 0%, I believe we should try."
King: "...I agree with that opinion. Black Valkyrie... I will defeat you."
Black Valkyrie: "Oh. Then, I shall have this man protect me."
(Armor King moves next to Black Valkyrie)
Armor King: "...It doesn't matter."
King: "Ugh...! Armor... King...!"
Valkyrie: (The power to break this curse... I don't have it right now...)
After the above event OR 8 enemies remain
KOS-MOS: "High-energy entity rapidly approaching."
Servbot No. 17: "Miss Tron, a huge energy source is approaching, even I can tell!"
Tron: "Ugh! What else is coming?!"
Tron: "How many?!"
Servbot No. 28: "Just one!"
(Heihachi appears)
Heihachi: "Hmph, there they are. They seem to be having quite a good time."
Heihachi: "...What? What is this dragon?"
Roll: "Huh?! Oh, wait...? MegaMan, this old man is...?"
MegaMan: "Yeah, he's the one who fought alongside us when we fought Juno and the others before."
Dimitri: "Hmm? Is this guy... Jin Kazama's?"
Heihachi: "Indeed, I am Heihachi Mishima."
Heihachi: "Jin... isn't here. Hmph, well, that's fine. It saves me from any trouble."
Armor King: "Heihachi Mishima...!? Why is he in this place!?"
Rose: (From our world... this man?)
Hiryu: "...An energy reading from this man? Is there some kind of mistake?"
KOS-MOS: "The energy reading is being emitted from an object this person is carrying."
[Golden Seed]
KOS-MOS: "This is the same reaction as the 'Golden Seed' we observed before."
Kurino: "'Golden Seed'...?!?"
Black Valkyrie: "What...?!"
Sabine: "Hey, old man! Why do you have that?! That belongs to the High Priestess..."
Heihachi: "You insolent little girl who doesn't know how to speak properly."
Heihachi: "To speak so disrespectfully to me, Heihachi Mishima..."
Valkyrie: "Mishima... Heihachi! Wh-Why do you have that?!"
Heihachi: "So you are Valkyrie."
(Heihachi moves next to Valkyrie)
Heihachi: "...Hmph, just take it already."
[Golden Seed]
(Resonance)
Valkyrie: "...Huh?"
Heihachi: "That so-called High Priestess, to dare to use me, Heihachi Mishima, as a messenger... she's got some nerve."
Heihachi: "As a condition for returning me to my original world, she wanted me to deliver this to you..."
Valkyrie: "The High Priestess... gave you this?"
Gantz: "That's a bold move. ...What would she have done if you'd just run off with it?"
Klonoa: "But, he's not that bad of a person..."
Heihachi: "Heh heh..."
Klonoa: "...Maybe not a good person either..."
Black Valkyrie: "Heh heh... This is good. Now I have another reason to defeat you, green-eyed child."
Rutee: "...That's right, isn't it? Now we'll be targeted even more."
Stahn: "Does the High Priestess have something in mind...?"
Valkyrie: ".........!"
Valkyrie (So that's it, High Priestess. If I use this kind of power... perhaps...)
Heihachi: "I've certainly delivered it, Valkyrie."
Heihachi: "Hmph, now I can finally return to my original world."
Valkyrie: "Heihachi, thank you. Please tell the High Priestess that I have indeed received the 'Golden Seed'."
Heihachi: "But, there's still work to be done."
Heihachi: "...I'll join this fight as well."
King: "...What's gotten into him?"
King: "Kazama isn't here. There's no reason to stay here, Mishima."
Heihachi: "It's true, I gave the seed to that Valkyrie."
Heihachi: "But, it would be a bad conscience to leave the girl fighting alone."
Valkyrie: "Heihachi..."
Kurino: "Thank you... I'm grateful...!"
Heihachi: "Hehehe... Don't worry about it."
Heihachi: (The 'Golden Seed'... I don't know how to use it. ...But seeing it here might be interesting. Heh...)
Sabine: "Kurino looks so happy."
Felicia: "...He's definitely plotting something."
Heihachi: "Hahahaha! Think whatever you want!"
Heihachi: "Besides..."
(2 Evil Swords and 2 Inquisitors appear)
Soldier 1P: "What? What are these robots...?"
Heihachi: "These are the defense robots of this facility that have come after me... I'll take care of them."
Soldier 2P: "I see. I thought he was just a pushover, but this old man seems to have some integrity."
Valkyrie: (These mechanical soldiers... they're not Zouna's soldiers?)
Judas: "...Zouna's? These guys?"
Black Valkyrie: "..."
[???]
Black Valkyrie: (These machines... I see, Zouna... You've finally brought "that" to the surface.)
8 enemies remain
(The magic circle glows, a sign of dimensional transfer.)
Demitri: "Hmm? This surge of magical power...!"
KOS-MOS: "A high-energy reaction from the central circle. It appears to be a dimensional transfer."
Soldier 2P: "Tch, give me a break."
(MegaMan Juno, Hien, Solo, 3 Solo Mass Produced Models, Gorubesshu, and 2 Fire Gorubesshus appear)
Felicia: "Ugh! This place is already full! And there's already an incredibly huge dragon here!"
King: "They can't possibly be allies, can they?"
Rutee: "You never know, maybe they are?"
Stahn: "...That's impossible, Rutee. There are some here that we've fought before."
Soldier 1P: "Yeah, these guys were the ones from 'The Third Moon'!"
Rock: "...And... Juno!"
[Gai-nee Tooren in the Sky Temple]
Heihachi: "Is that the robot that shoved that giant thing into the High Priestess's room?"
Juno: "Oh? Where are we?"
Hien: "This is... a Dust Dragon!? Could this be Dust World...?"
Super Warrior 1P: "Nah, bro. Dust World is a much dirtier place."
Super Warrior 2P: "Yeah, it's not this fancy."
Hien: "What...!? Ugh..."
Solo: "...Target confirmed. Strider Hiryu..."
Hiryu: "..."
Hien: "Hiryu...! Why are you here!?"
Hiryu: "It doesn't matter. Talking is pointless."
Hiryu: "Hien, what are you doing? How did you get here?"
Juno: "Let me explain that."
[Gai-nee Tooren in the Sky Temple]
Juno: "I intended to use dimensional transfer to return to the place I went to before, in order to retrieve the Gai-nee Tooren..."
Juno: "Due to a device malfunction, we ended up here."
Valkyrie: "...Perhaps, due to this magic circle and the transfer phenomenon of 'Soul Edge,' this is where the dimensional wall is thinnest."
Gantz: "All's well that ends well. It would have been bad if they had invaded the Sky Temple right now."
Klonoa: "That's right. There's no one to protect Lolo and the High Priestess..."
Sabine: "Isn't this the first time 'Soul Edge' has actually been useful?"
Kurino: "...But, it means we have more enemies to deal with... It's complicated."
MegaMan: "Juno, I think our meeting here is fate."
MegaMan: "...I'm going to destroy you."
Juno: "That won't happen. I told you, didn't I? I can't be destroyed twice."
Juno: "MegaMan Trigger."
MegaMan: "..."
Roll: "...Rock..."
Tron: "It seems they are being drawn to each other."
Rock: (Drawn to each other... Maybe that's really the case...)
Black Valkyrie: "It seems they are not our enemies. ...Perfect. Let's use them."
Judas: "No matter who comes, what I have to do remains the same."
Armor King: "Intruders? This might liven things up a bit."
Rose: "...This is also a trial for them."
Hien: "...Hiryu. 'That person' has issued an order to eliminate you."
Hien: "I don't want to kill my comrade... but this is my mission."
Hiryu: "You are a traitor, Hien. ...Don't tell me you don't know the Striders' code."
Hien: "...In the end, it's a fight to the death, Hiryu...!"
Black Valkyrie defeated
Black Valkyrie: "Hmph... Hehehe... Impressive. But even if you defeat me..."
Armor King: "..."
King: "It's impossible, then...!?"
Felicia: "Valkyrie! Isn't there anything we can do!?"
Rose: (If you have a plan... show me.)
Valkyrie: "With my current power... I might be able to do it."
Black Valkyrie: "What...?"
Stahn: "That man, Judas... You're saying you can save him!?"
Judas: (Even if that were the case... I...)
Rutee: "But, but how!?"
[Golden Seed]
(Resonance)
Valkyrie: "With the power of 'this'... Black Fallen Knight, I can free them from your curse!"
Klonoa: "Huh?! That thing has that kind of power?!"
Gantz: "Shut up, Klonoa. This isn't our fight."
Gantz: "We'll leave this to the maiden knight."
Black Valkyrie: "Impossible...! You mean you can unleash it?! The power that seed possesses!"
Valkyrie: "Who do you think retrieved this seed from Kamuz?"
Valkyrie: "It was Kurino and... me."
Valkyrie: "Golden Seed! Grant me your power...! Banish the power of evil darkness and bring peace to those who are bound...!"
(Light spreads from Valkyrie, resulting in a whiteout.)
Black Valkyrie: "Wh-what...!"
Black Valkyrie: "Whoa!"
Armor King: "Th-this power... What is this...!"
Rose: "With this...!"
Judas: "..."
(The light subsides. Black Valkyrie, Armor King, Rose, and Judas are gone.)
Hiryu: "...Did they escape?"
Soldier 1P: "That was an incredible light. What happened!?"
Soldier 2P: "I'm glad I had my sunglasses on. It was like a stun grenade."
KOS-MOS: "Energy reaction exceeding measurement limits. Analysis is impossible."
Demitri: "This is the magic of the 'Golden Seed'...!"
Demitri: "It's tremendous. Even that Black Valkyrie would have to back down in the face of this power."
Sabine: "But, did it actually work?"
Tron: "It's certainly a powerful energy reaction... but did it work on Black Valkyrie?"
Roll: "It looks like she was surprised by the light and ran away..."
Kurino: "Lady Valkyrie! Did it... did it work!?"
MegaMan: "What happened!?"
Valkyrie: "...Probably. The curse on their souls should be broken."
Heihachi: "The 'Golden Seed'... huh."
Heihachi (This "qi"... Is this the power of an unknown world? ...Heh, not bad.)
Any enemies remain
Solo: "Energy, unanalyzable."
Hien: "Damn... What exactly is going on?"
Juno: "Is this technology from another world? I see... quite interesting."
Valkyrie: "We have no way of confirming whether it was effective right now."
Valkyrie: "Anyway, let's do what we can. Let's defeat the remaining enemies!"
Hien defeated
Hien: "...Is it time to retreat? There's no other choice."
Hiryu: "Are you running away, Hien?"
Hien: "This teleportation was unexpected."
Hien: "Especially against you, Hiryu... this level of fighting power isn't enough."
Hien: "I'll be taking my leave now."
Hiryu: "...Hien, where did you come from? 'The Third Moon'..."
Hien: "Since I came, there's a place for me to return to. ...Unlike you, Hiryu."
Hiryu: "..."
Hien: "That 'person' is someone who will obtain everything. You should understand the meaning of that, Hiryu."
(Hien retreats)
Hiryu: "..."
Hiryu: (What he's so fixated on, even abandoning 'The Third Moon'...)
Hiryu: (Taking control of all worlds...?)
Hiryu: (It must be somewhere... the place he needs to achieve his goal.)
Hiryu: (I must find that place...)
Solo defeated
Solo: "Sampling complete. Due to the emergency situation, I will withdraw immediately."
(Solo retreats)
Hiryu: "...He ran away. Oh well."
Hiryu: (The Third Moon... What happened to it after we escaped...?)
Hiryu: (Where did these guys come from? Did they build a new base, or...?)
MegaMan Juno defeated
Juno: "Things just aren't going well... Why do I keep failing like this?"
MegaMan: "I won't let you... no, I won't let you have your way."
Juno: "...Why? ...It's impossible for me to fail."
Juno: "...If it were to happen, it would be because of someone trying to sabotage me."
Juno: "...That would be you, wouldn't it?"
Juno: "...It must be."
Juno: "..."
MegaMan: "Juno, are you... becoming an 'Maverick'...!?"
Juno: "..."
Roll: "Maverick? What are you talking about, Rock?"
MegaMan: "Ah, no... Roll..."
Juno: "...It's your fault. Rockman... Trigger..."
(MegaMan Juno retreats)
MegaMan: ("Maverick"... I don't understand... even though I said the word myself... What does it mean...?)
Roll: "...MegaMan, something's strange...? When he appears... you..."
MegaMan: "Oh, it's nothing. It's nothing at all, Roll."
MegaMan: (Irregular... The only thing I understand is that we can't leave him alone.)
All enemies defeated
(The ground shakes, the magic circle flashes, a sign of dimensional transfer.)
Klonoa: "Whoa, whoa, whoa! What is it this time?!"
Servbot No. 17: "Kyaa! Miss Troooon!"
Tron: "We've annihilated all the enemies... What's going on?!"
Gantz: "Huh?! Hey, look at the dragon!"
(Particles of light rise upwards from the magic circle, and the Dust Dragon is transported through dimensional transfer.)
Soldier 1P: "Hey, the Dust Dragon..."
Soldier 2P: "It disappeared...!? Did it return to its original world!?"
KOS-MOS: "Target 'Dust Dragon' has completely disappeared. Based on the residual energy readings, it is almost certainly a dimensional transfer."
Rock: "That's good, it's gone..."
Hiryu: "...The space seems stable now."
Roll: "But why so suddenly...?"
Valkyrie: "The release of the power of the 'Golden Seed' just now... That's probably the reason."
Demitri: "It seems the 'Golden Seed' and the magic circle resonated."
Demitri: "So, the phenomenon that 'Soul Edge' caused before has now been manifested by the 'Golden Seed'."
Heihachi: (Heh heh... This is interesting. ...This is no time to be returning to the original world.)
(Tiny particles of light rise from the magic circle.)
Kurino: "Light is coming from the magic circle!? Lady Valkyrie!?"
Valkyrie: "It seems the power has returned to this magic circle. In this state..."
Stahn: "Could it be, to where everyone has been scattered!?"
Valkyrie: "...Probably."
Rutee: "That saves us a lot of trouble, doesn't it!"
Rutee: "Okay, let's jump in all at once!"
Sabine: "So suddenly? Shouldn't we check things out first?"
Felicia: "It'll be fine! Valkyrie said so!"
King: "...Alright, let's hurry. Our comrades might be in danger just like us."
King: (Armor King... I believe that your curse has been broken...)
