Namco × Capcom/Story/S32:StageB
《Makai: Makai Village - Land of Demon Statues》
(Ryu appears and moves to the center)
Ryu: "Akuma! Where are you, Akuma!?"
???: "..."
Ryu: "...He should be nearby..."
(Ken, Sakura & Karin, Rose, Jin, and Reiji & Xiaomu appear)
Xiaomu: "Oh, there he is. Over there."
Reiji: "Don't leave him alone. Let's go."
Ken: "Hey, Ryu!"
Sakura: "Ryu-san! It's dangerous to go alone!"
(They join Ryu in the center)
Rose: "Ryu, you shouldn't give in to Akuma's provocations."
Ryu: "...Rose, what are his true intentions? What more does he want me to do?"
Rose: "Now that you've overcome the 'Satsui no Hado,' there's probably only one thing Akuma wants from you."
Ryu: "...Is it Bison?"
??? "..."
(2 Skeleton Murderers, 2 Skeletons, 2 Spear Skeletons, and 2 Toads appear)
Karin: "Wh-what is this!? The enemy!?"
Jin: "Tch, this is the worst case scenario. We're surrounded!"
Xiaomu: "We're being observed from afar."
Xiaomu: "This isn't a spectacle!"
Reiji: "Damn, where's the rest of the group?"
(The rest of your team appears)
Masuyo: "Hey! Are you guys okay?!"
Ken: "Yeah, I'm okay. But it's about to get dangerous."
Sylphie: "Shall I help you for 100 Zenny?"
Karin: "Don't take money from your friends!"
Shion: "Um, we'd better help them quickly..."
Soldier 1P: "Yeah, let's get this over with quickly. We'll talk afterwards."
Soldier 2P: "Three types of skeletons and a frog? That's a tough opponent."
Tarosuke: "Toads and skeletons with spears are common in Makai."
M.O.M.O. "According to the data, the ones holding the sickles are monsters from Makai Village."
Kagekiyo: "...And the monsters holding swords are Yoritomo's men."
Hiromi: "Now that you mention it...that's true."
Mitsurugi: "They've completely blended into Makai."
Waya Hime: "But, since Yoritomo's soldiers are here, doesn't that mean they must have passed through here?"
Kagekiyo: "...That's not necessarily the case. If Yoritomo's men are connected not only to Druaga but also to Makai Village..."
Taki: It means they could be scattered all over Makai Village."
Xiaomu: "Hey, save that worry for later!"
Reiji: "She's right. If this keeps up, we'll get beaten up."
KOS-MOS: "At this point, I think we should prioritize rescuing our allies."
Masuyo: "You're absolutely right."
Masuyo: "We'll begin our attack."
Jin: "Okay, let's break through on our own."
Ryu: "...Okay, let's go."
???: "..."
6 enemies remain
Mitsurugi: "They're a completely uncompetitive bunch. Is this what Makai is like?"
Taki: "Don't get too cocky, Mitsurugi. These guys are just low-level demons."
Reiji: "Plus, most of them aren't demons from Makai Village."
Xiaomu: "Hmm, you're right, the frogs and skeletons... they're all from Moryokai."
Masuyo: "That's right. Those special forces haven't even shown up."
Hiromi: "The Makai Village Extermination Squad... was it? Their name is 'Demon's Blazon'..."
Karin: "They're the main force of Makai Village. ...It would certainly be troublesome if they get out there."
Jin: "Yeah, we should either hurry up or go back."
Waya Hime: "Well, anyway, why don't we just take care of the rest? It'd be a pain if they called in our allies."
Soldier 1P: "I'm an expert at sweeping operations. Leave it to me."
Soldier 2P: "Yeah. Let's do it."
???: "..."
Ryu: "..."
Ken: "Hey, Ryu. Don't get too worked up over those weaklings."
Ken: "You'll run out of steam later, you know?"
Ryu: "...No, he's there. It's him."
Sakura: "By 'him,' you mean...that old man?"
Rose: "I definitely felt his gaze on me the whole time we were fighting. He's watching me from somewhere."
Sylphie: "He's like a stalker."
Shion: "I don't think you should say that with a smile on your face."
M.O.M.O.: "In that case, we'd better get out of here quickly..."
Tarosuke: "Yeah! That old man is way too scary."
Ryu: "...No, I want to know what he's really thinking."
Ryu: (If he's going to show himself, he should come out sooner...!)
KOS-MOS: "Motion response, rapidly approaching."
Kagekiyo: "They're coming. ...Are they the monsters from Makaimura, or maybe..."
(Kiso Yoshinaka and 3 Onihimes appear)
Xiaomu: "Oh, oh, they're here!"
Reiji: "These costumes... are they Genji...?"
Yoshinaka: "So you've finally come this far, Kagekiyo."
Kagekiyo: "...Yoshinaka? I don't have time to deal with you. Get out of here."
[Underground Lake]
Yoshinaka: "...That's not possible. We can't let any more enemies into the underground lake ahead."
Tarosuke: "Underground lake?"
Masuyo: "It looks like that's our objective."
Taki: "'More enemies' means that's where the evil demons are headed, so I'm sure you're not wrong."
Soldier 2P: "That's settled. That makes things easy."
Soldier 1P: "Yeah, we can either shake them off and say goodbye, or we can eliminate every last one of them."
Sylphie: "I recommend annihilating them all. You'll get money and items."
Xiaomu: "That's a great idea! Let's strip them!"
Karin: "That makes us no different from bandits."
Karin: "...But it's no fun being targeted from behind."
Reiji: "You should stop worrying. You never know what's going to happen."
Waya Hime: "I agree. Well, let's finish this off."
KOS-MOS: "Affirmative. I'll commence the attack."
Yoshinaka: "I wonder if it will go as smoothly as expected?"
M.O.M.O.: "I'm sensing an energy reaction from the other side, rapidly approaching!"
Mitsurugi: "They've prepared an ambush, haven't they? And they're attacking us from both sides, they've really put a lot of thought into it."
Sakura: "Could it be... that old man Akuma this time!?"
(2 Dark Green Slimes, Dark Yellow Slime, Mage, Sorcerer, Druid, and Wizard appears)
Ken: "Not Akuma? Heh, don't scare me!"
Jin: "But these guys are minions of the demon known as Druaga."
Rose: "He's so generous, lending his soldiers."
Hiromi: "Is Yoritomo... really that strong?"
Shion: "I once saw him in the place that made us pun..."
Yoshinaka: "No one can lay a hand on Lord Kamakura. You know that well, Kagekiyo."
Yoshinaka: "No matter how powerful 'Druaga' may be..."
Kagekiyo: "..."
[Yasakani no Magatama] [Kusanagi no Tsurugi] [Yata no Kagami]
Kagekiyo: "So, without the Three Sacred Treasures, we cannot destroy him."
Yoshinaka: "Indeed. Lord Kamakura..."
Kagekiyo: "...Don't speak, Yoshinaka."
Kagekiyo: "No matter how fierce a man, he will eventually perish. That is..."
[Scenario 32: The Law of Rise and Fall]
14 enemies remain
(Akuma appears on the northeastern cliff)
Akuma: "..."
M.O.M.O.: "Huh?! Ah... What?!"
Shion: "That person's...! Hey Momo, KOS-MOS!"
KOS-MOS: "There was no reaction on my sensors. I think that's why Momo seemed surprised."
Waya Hime: "None on mine either. That guy... appeared in the 'Chaos'..."
Taki: "Tch, this demonic energy... it's definitely the man with the evil eyes."
Reiji: "What kind of stealth technique did he use?"
Xiaomu: "I have no idea. It goes beyond just hiding your presence."
Ryu: "I knew it, Akuma! What are you doing here?"
Akuma: "...I was watching your farce."
Kagekiyo: "Man with the eyes of a demon, what do you want?"
Yoshinaka: "I met this guy ages ago on the Path of Penance... is he a demon?"
Tarosuke: "Are you up to something again!? At this busy time, no less!"
Ken: "Akuma! Don't tell me... you plan to hit Ryu with the 'Satsui no Hado' again...!"
Akuma: "...Stop barking, you little brats."
(Akuma comes down from the cliff)
Rose: "Akuma...I want to know your true intentions."
Rose: "...Ryu overcame the 'Satsui no Hado.' So didn't that accomplish your goal?"
Akuma: "...Overcame it?"
Akuma: "Lol. He didn't overcome it. He just wasn't absorbed."
Akuma: "...Proof that, the 'man with the power of evil' has not yet fallen."
Sakura: "The power of evil...? Who are you talking about?"
Karin: "...You mean Bison of Shadaloo, right?"
Mitsurugi: "Bison...that bastard with that eerie aura?"
Jin: "...It's true that the battle wasn't resolved back then. Is that the problem?"
Akuma: "..."
Masuyo: "Hey, you know. Stop giving out information piecemeal."
Hiromi: "Yeah! We've come all the way here, and we're at our limit!"
Sylphy: "I'll buy this information for 100 Zenny."
Akuma: "You'll understand immediately. There's no need to explain it in words."
Xiaomu: "...No matter how many times we meet, he only says what he wants to say..."
Reiji: "And then he attacks us? That's pretty bad, but..."
Soldier 1P: "You're really motivated, aren't you?"
Soldier 2P: "Hmm, I see why you're so quiet."
Akuma: "...Ryu, let me see your fists, the ones that deny the 'Satsui no Hado'."
Ryu: "I don't know what you want from me."
Ryu: "But if you're only willing to speak with your fists... I'll take you on...!"
8 enemies remain
Jin: "We've pretty much eliminated the enemies."
Jin: "The demons, the Genji, the man of 'heaven'... What's next?"
Shion: "I've had enough..."
Masuyo: "For balance's sake, wouldn't it be perfect if something like the Octy showed up?"
Xiaomu: "That's right. Or maybe all the skeletons lying around here suddenly rise up."
Reiji: "...How many do you think there are? We can't keep up with that."
Tarosuke: "Let's stop that. If you say things like that, it'll really come out."
M.O.M.O.: "Um... a heat source is approaching..."
(Shtrom, Carol, Brenda, Z, and Red Horokko appear)
Shtrom: "There are multiple heat sources at this location... Hmm?!"
Waya Hime: "Enemy attack...?! These guys..."
Hiromi: "Thank goodness! It's not Octy!"
Karin: "You're missing the point of being happy."
KOS-MOS: "There's no doubt they're an enemy force."
Ryu: "Yes, these guys were working with Bison..."
Soldier 1P: "Are they the Grandmaster's minions?"
Sylphie: "To be precise, they were subordinates of the Super Criminal Scumocide."
Reiji: "So... they're already in Makai...?!"
Sakura: "Makai is incredibly popular. Even though it's a place full of skeletons..."
Xiaomu: "It has a certain charm that draws people in... doesn't it?"
Shtrom: "When I went out to do some scoutin', I found some unexpected prey."
Shtrom: "Shame the Commando Team isn't here, but I'll take your heads as a gift."
Soldier 2P: "Hey, hey, don't just go ahead and talk like that."
Kagekiyo: "...What brought you all the way here?"
Shtrom: "Why should I tell you that? It's none of your business, you're about to die."
Masuyo: "You said scouting, right? That means that everyone other than you... in other words, the main force has come to Makai."
Ken: "Is that so? Considering that these guys are involved with Shadaloo...it must be Bison."
Shtrom: "...Well then."
Ryu: "Does Akuma know about this? That Bison...has come to Makai!?"
Akuma: "..."
Rose: (Akuma's goal is... really Bison. But... is that really all?)
Soldier 1P: "This is getting complicated."
Soldier 2P: "In times like these, it's best to let the person themselves speak."
Sylphie: "Then, shall we capture him?"
Shtrom: "I won't let you do as you please."
Shtrom: "You think I'd come to a place like this unprepared?"
(2 Mitsurugi (Doppel), 2 Kagekiyo (Doppel), and 2 Reiji (Doppel) appear)
Doppel: "..."
Doppel: "..."
Doppel: "..."
Tarosuke: "W-Whoa! Bro Mitsurugi and Bro Reiji!"
Xiaomu: "R-Reiji...!? Wait, are you his long-lost brother?"
Xiaomu: "Brotheeeeer!"
Reiji: "Don't just add to my family without my permission."
Sakura: "What?! Everyone... betrayed us?!"
Mitsurugi: "What are you talking about? Look closely. Don't let the enemy's magic fool you."
Taki: "The number of people is just weird."
Taki: "...I feel like I've seen this technique before."
Karin: "Sakura-san, have you forgotten? This is a monster that can transform into someone else's exact likeness."
[The Third Moon - Entrance]
KOS-MOS: "There are combat records of The Third Moon."
KOS-MOS: "If the data is correct, we believe this is Super Criminal Doppel."
Shion: "That's right. That's when so many Captains appeared."
Kagekiyo: "...Is that the sorcery from back then? I never thought I'd end up fighting myself."
Jin: "They've also copied Shadaloo and Mishima Heihachi."
Jin: "So they've gathered samurai this time?"
Waya Hime: "Reiji, isn't he just carrying a Japanese sword?"
Xiaomu: "This is complicated. Reflect on your actions, Reiji."
Reiji: "Tell that to the enemy."
Hiromi: "...The selection criteria are pretty vague."
Shtrom: "Your data is quite useful."
Shtrom: "I'll put it to good use. Hahaha!"
M.O.M.O.: "It's...a difficult fight..."
Taki: "It's just magic, after all. Besides, this is my second time cutting down a Mitsurugi impostor... I'm used to it."
Mitsurugi: "You say so."
Mitsurugi: "It's a shame there aren't any impostors of you."
Rose: "It seems some people have different motives..."
Ken: "We only have one thing to do. ...We need to find out about Bison."
Ryu: "Yeah, there's also the issue of Akuma. We can't waste time... Let's go!"
Akuma: "..."
Akuma: (...Bison is finally making his move.)
Akuma defeated
Akuma: "..."
Karin: "We did it! That hit worked."
Sakura: "R-Really?... I'm not sure if it worked on this guy or not."
Akuma: "...You still can't win. Your strength isn't enough to defeat the 'power of an evil heart.'"
Ken: "What did you say? Tell me clearly, Akuma! You...!"
Akuma: "..."
(Akuma retreats)
Ryu: "Rose, Akuma is talking about..."
Rose: "He's talking about Bison, Ryu. You must defeat him."
Rose: "The man with the Psycho Power that bring chaos to the human world."
Ryu: (...Is that still not enough? Akuma. My fists... can't reach Bison...?)
Reiji (Doppel) defeated
Reiji: "I never thought a copy of me would appear."
Sakura: "Oh no, we've defeated Arisu-san."
Sakura: "...But Xiaomu-chan isn't here."
Karin: "Soon, dozens of them might show up."
Sakura: "Uwah."
Xiaomu: "...Don't talk about people like they're insects, you dolts."
Mitsurugi (Doppel) defeated
Mitsurugi: "The only thing that looks similar is the appearance. ...How trivial."
Taki: "But he was tougher than the real thing. Hehe."
Wayahime: "And his durability was better than the real thing."
Mitsurugi: "Shut up!"
Kagekiyo (Doppel) defeated
Tarosuke: "I defeated him. Don't worry too much, Bro Kagekiyo."
Kagekiyo: "...I'm here. Even if his appearance is the same, you can't copy my soul."
Yoshinaka defeated
Yoshinaka: "Hmph... I guess this is the limit of what we can do with our insufficient military forces."
Masuyo: "It's naive to think you can wipe us out without even assembling your main forces."
Hiromi: "Well, I suppose I don't really want to engage in all-out war..."
Jin: "We'll have to do it someday. ...We should whittle down the enemy's forces in preparation for that time."
Kagekiyo: "Indeed. Yoshinaka, I will defeat you here at least...!"
Yoshinaka: "I can't settle this with you here."
[Tower of Druaga]
Yoshinaka: "Kagekiyo, I'll be waiting... at that tower."
Kagekiyo: "Are you planning to run away? If so, you'd better tell Yoritomo... to wash his head and wait."
Yoshinaka: "Hahaha... That's fine. But, can you take the head of Lord Kamakura... like this?"
(Yoshinaka retreats)
Tarosuke: "Bro Kagekiyo... are you okay? The Genji seem pretty confident..."
Kagekiyo: "..."
[Kusanagi no Tsurugi]
Kagekiyo: (One more thing. The lost Kusanagi no Tsurugi... I must find it. I must...)
Shtrom defeated
Shtrom: "I guess this is all we can do for a scouting force..."
Shtrom: "I wasn't able to eliminate them... but I must report that you guys are here."
Soldier 1P: "This is going to get complicated. We should finish him off."
Soldier 2P: "I agree."
Shtrom: "That won't do. There's no point in scouting...!"
(Shtrom retreats)
M.O.M.O.: "Ah! He's getting further and further away!"
KOS-MOS: "Shall I pursue him, Shion?"
Shion: "Wait, KOS-MOS. We can't split up any more than this."
Sylphie: "Maybe the main force will show up now."
Ryu: "...If Bison shows up, that's what I want."
Ryu: "We have to settle things with him..."
All enemies defeated
Shion: "Is it over? How is it, Momo?"
M.O.M.O.: "No reactions nearby."
M.O.M.O.: "But... I can't guarantee it if that scary guy is hiding..."
Ryu: "...I think it's okay. I don't feel his presence."
Ken: "What does that old man want, anyway?"
Ken: "If he wants you to fight Bison, he should just shut up and watch."
Rose: "...That man has his own ideas."
Rose: (As things stand, we can't beat Bison... Is that really true, Akuma...?)
Karin: "There's no point in prying into what that man is thinking here."
Sakura: "This isn't the right atmosphere for discussion, either."
Masuyo: "Well, enough of that, let's decide our next move."
Masuyo: "Should we go back to the entrance, or move forward..."
[Makai Village]
Sylphie: "Is everyone still at the entrance to Makai Village safe?"
Sylphie: "Are you having trouble connecting?"
Hiromi: "The signal is terrible. Contacting them... looks like it's going to be impossible."
Tarosuke: "In that case, I guess we'll have to go there in person..."
Xiaomu: "This is such a pain..."
Reiji: "We can't keep saying that. We should meet up with one of them soon."
Reiji: "...What do you all think?"
Soldier 2P: "I think we should move forward."
Soldier 1P: "Yeah, it's going to be tougher being closer to the center, no matter how you look at it."
Mitsurugi: "Besides, I don't like turning back. Our destination is still ahead anyway."
[Underground Lake]
Kagekiyo: "Indeed. The 'underground lake' Yoshinaka spoke of must be up ahead."
Kagekiyo: "We're wasting our time here."
Taki: "Captain and Gilgamesh, who are still in front of the castle gate, aren't fools. They'll catch up soon."
Waya Hime: "That's true. I'm more worried about Bravoman, who went ahead, than the ones who are still there. He's missing something."
Jin: "Then it's decided. Let's go. What we should be looking for... is the entrance to the underground lake."
KOS-MOS: "Understood. Then, let's proceed while searching for the water source."
