*                 Opening                  *
********************************************
Kane is now at
Summit Temple.

Kane: Daikak,
     I have answered
     your call!

Daikak: Welcome,
       brave warrior!
       Enriku Temple
       has been attacked
       and plundered!
       This can
       only be the work
       of evil forces.
       It is the latest
       of many such
       attacks.
       I fear it means
       war,
       though the
       identity of the
       enemy remains
       unknown!
       I sent 10 men from
       Tokak village to
       guard Enriku
       temple,
       but there has been
       no word from them.
       Kane, your destiny
       is somehow bound
       to the attacks on
       our temples.
       Our fates are in
       your hands.
       Will you go there
       to help us learn
       the nature of the
       enemy?

Kane: Count on
     me. I shall not
     fail!

********************************************
*              Enriku Shrine               *
********************************************
Kane: Look at all
     the destruction!
     The men of Tokak
     have been wiped
     out!
     Wait!
     One of the men of
     Tokak is
     still alive!

Tokak: The enemy
      was fearsome! We
      were slaughtered!

Kane: Tell me who
     did this so I may
     avenge you!

Tokak: Izumo...
      Unhh!

With that,
the fighter dies.

Kane: Izumo? What
     can it mean?
     I must
     return to Daikak!

Kane, filled with
resolve, came to
his feet and said:

********************************************
*              Summit Temple               *
********************************************
Daikak: Kane, you
       have returned!
       Report on
       Enriku Temple!

Kane: The men of
     Tokak have
     all been killed!

Daikak: Do you
       know who killed
       them?

Kane: The only
     clue is the word
     "Izumo."

Daikak: The town
       where the council
       resides?
       Kane, go to Izumo
       and discover what
       you can.
       And take this
       Dokko with you.
       You need
       a weapon.

********************************************
*                  Izumo                   *
********************************************
Kuma: Step right
     up for a bowl of
     great spaghetti!
     There are
     strange
     goings-on at the
     shrine!
     You must be
     new here! <SHRINE>
     means Izumo
     Shrine.

********************************************
*              Izumo Shrine                *
********************************************
Kane: Only the
     remains of some
     pillars are here.
     It looks
     like they were
     ripped out!

In front of the
main hall of the
shrine.
Someone else is
here!

Unknown enemy: Foul dog of
              Summit Temple!
              We shall crush
              you like those at
              Enriku, you Flea!

Kane: You are the
     ones that killed
     the Tokak!

Mysterious Enemy: Die!

(after defeating the mysterious enemy)

Mysterious Enemy: Kusanagi!!!

With that word,
the mysterious
enemy disappears!

Kane: Kusanagi??
     What does that
     mean?
     They left
     something behind
     when they left!
     It seems
     like some kind
     of charm!

Kane takes the
charm.

********************************************
*              Summit Temple               *
********************************************
Daikak: Kane!
       What did you
       learn?

About
Kusanagi

Daikak: Kusanagi?
       The sword of
       Kusanagi, maybe?
       The sword of
       Kusanagi is in the
       Attaro Shrine.

Use
Charm

Daikak: This is
       some kind of
       charm from Iwato
       family.
       I think I know who
       is behind this

About
  Iwato

Daikak: Their
       hideout is on
       Mt.Miwa in Nara.

********************************************
*              Attaro Shrine               *
********************************************
Kane: Is that the
     sword of
     Kusanagi stuck in
     the gate?

Kane touches the
sword...

and then...

"Get back!"

From somewhere
there was a loud
shout!

Kane: Who was
     that??

Jukak: Thief!
      Scram!!

(after defeating Jukak)

Jukak: You are
      persistent.
      You are from
      Summit Temple?

Kane: Yes, but
     how did you...

Jukak: I am
      Jukak.
      I guard the sword
      of Kusanagi.

Kane: Guard??

Jukak: Yes, this
      sword holds the
      power of the
      serpent god!
      Some seek this
      sword to use its
      power for evil
      purposes!
      Have you come in
      search of those
      evil ones?

Kane says
nothing.

Jukak: Then I will let
      you in on a
      secret.
      This sword is a
      fake!

Jukak: Strange
      fellow! You want
      the fake sword?
      Well,I guess I can
      trust a man from
      Summit Temple
      with it.
      Well, I'm no
      longer needed!
      Good-by!

And with that,
Jukak was gone.

Kane takes the
sword.

********************************************
*                 Mt.Miwa                  *
********************************************
A suspicious old
woman here in the
foothills.

Old Woman: This
          mountain is
          sacred! Go away!

When Kane draws
the sword there is
a blinding flash!

Old Woman: Auggh!
          Help!

The old woman
doubles over in
pain.

Old Woman: That sword was
          taken from Attaro
          Shrine!

The hidden power
of the sword
sucks up her
magic power.

Mysterious Enemy: I am the guard of
                 Mt.Miwa. Leave
                 now!

********************************************
*             Mt.Miwa Shrine               *
********************************************
Wakahiko: You
         have done well to
         come this far,
         Kane.
         I am Wakahiko, of
         the Iwato family.
         You have come too
         late, however!

Kane: What are
     you planning?

Wakahiko: I've
         been waiting
         here...to kill
         you. Die!

(after defeating Wakahiko)

Wakahiko: You are
         the one caught in
         the trap!
         My friends are
         calling forth the
         serpent god!
         I only had to
         delay you!
         You are doomed!
         Ha,ha,ha!

Kane kills
Wakahiko.

********************************************
*              Summit Temple               *
********************************************
Daikak: So! They
       were after the
       Kashima Shrine!
       They only feigned
       interest in the
       sword of
       Kusanagi.
       Kane, quickly go
       to defend the
       Kashima Shrine!
       If the shrine
       falls, the serpent
       will be freed!

********************************************
*             Kashima Shrine               *
********************************************
Kane has arrived
at Kashima Shrine
someone is here!

Enemy: We will destroy
      the Shrine.

Kane: Stop! The
     serpent god must
     not be freed!

Enemy: Try to
      stop us, whelp of
      Summit Temple!

(after defeating the enemy)

Kane: What's
     that? The man I
     killed before had
     that!
     I've seen
     that before...
     A sword of
     branches!

Kane take the
sword of branches.

********************************************
*              Summit Temple               *
********************************************
Daikak: Kane,
       you're safe! I've
       been waiting!
       The enemy is after
       the real sword of
       Kusanagi!
       We have been
       played for fools!
       The real sword may
       yet be in the
       underwater shrine.
       We cannot let the
       sword fall into
       the enemy's hands!
       Kane, you must
       go to Shimono Port
       quickly!

Move to Shimonoseki

Daikak: Wait! Give
       me the sword of
       branches first!
       The sword will be
       safer here!

Kane: Yes,
     Daikak!

Daikak: Also,give
       me that charm
       before you leave!

Kane: Yes,
     Daikak!

Daikak: From here
       on,the enemy will
       be much tougher.
       Don't depend on
       that sword alone,
       anymore.
       The enemy from
       now on in much
       more experienced.

********************************************
*              Shimono-seki                *
********************************************
Kane: It seems
     like a typical
     port town, but...
     There's a girl
     over there, on the
     pier!
     She seems
     lonely! Why, I
     wonder!
     Now she's
     rowing away in a
     boat!
     There's a
     whirlpool! The
     boat has gone in!
     I have to
     do something
     quick!

Kane prays to
Hatten.

Kane: Hatten,blow
     thy foes to their
     destruction!

Hatten sends a
tornado into the
midst of the
enemy.

Kane: I did it! I
     saves the girl.
     But now what?

Kane prays to the
god Makiri.

Kane: Makiri,
     give me strength!

Kane flies into
the air!

Kane catches the
girl just in time
and returns to
the pier!

Kane prays to the
god Kannon.

Kane: Kannon,
     guide thy humble
     servant.

Kannon opens the
path to the
temple of the
phoenix.

The spell works!
Kane holds
the girl and
forces the evil
spirits back to
the underworld!

Kane: You're
     going to be
     alright!

Kane gently
shakes the girl.

Girl: Hmm...mmunh..huh?

The girl regains
consciousness!

Girl: What...? Where
     am...???

Kane: You were
     seized by evil
     spirits!

Girl: I'm Midori.
     I came to sit by
     the sea.

Midori: I felt
       someone calling
       me.
       Those spirits?

Kane: Do you mind
     if a ask you a few
     questions?

Midori: My grampa
       might be able to
       help you more.
       Come see
       him at our house.
       Come with me!

********************************************
*              Midori's House              *
********************************************
Midori: Grampa,
       this man wants to
       ask about
       spirits.

Grampa: Eh? Out
       to make trouble?
       Go on back home!

Midori: No,
       Grampa! He's come
       a long way!
       Maybe he can
       restore calm to
       the spirits!

Grampa: In that
       case, I'm sorry.
       I don't know
       much...
       Lately,
       there's a lot of
       disasters at sea!
       All accidents
       were strange,the
       work of evil
       spirits!
       All I know is no
       one will go out in
       boats anymore!

Kane: You've been
     very helpful!
     I must go now!
     But I need
     to find a
     boat to go out
     on the sea!

Grampa: In that
       case, I'll lend
       you our boat.
       It's an old boat,
       do with it as you
       like.
       The evil
       spirits killed my
       son. Avenge him!

Midori: Kane,
       I'll take you to
       the boat.
       Come this way.

his Lute and
plays...
<Rattle,rattle>

Kane: There's
     something inside
     my Lute!
     Oh, no!
     Auggh!

Kane has
accidently broken
the Lute open!

Kane: What's this
     string of beads?

Kane grasps the
string of beads.

Kane takes out
the string of
beads...

The string of

Kannon opens the
path to the
temple of the
phoenix.

Mother: Oh,thank
       you,now we can
       rest in peace!

The spirits
disappeat. Only a
sword remains.

Kane: This is the
     real sword of
     Kusanagi!

As Kane touches
the real sword of
Kusanagi...

The fake sword in
his hand
shatters!

Kane: The real
     sword is found,
     so the fake
     one died!

Kane takes the
real sword of
Kusanagi.

Dannoura.
Kane's boat is
surrounded by
Iwato family.

Head of Iwato Family: We've
                     been waiting. The
                     sword!

Kane: Where have
     you been hiding?

Iwato: We've been
      looking for the
      sword of
      Kusanagi!
      That devil of a
      ghost kept us
      from finding
      it, though!
      You came just in
      time to do our
      work for us.
      Give us the sword!
      You have no use
      for it!

Kane: Never!

Iwato: You aren't
      very bright!
      Get him,boys!
      Enemy attack.

Kane brandishes
the sword of
Kusanagi.

The sword begins
to release its
pent-up energy.

Kane is
surrounded
the men disappear
one by one.

Iwato: What is
      happening? What
      is the sword
      doing?
      The sword...
      We...augghhh!!

The remnants of
the men of Iwato
begin to run!

Kane: The sword
     of Kusanagi saved
     me!
     But I still don't
     understand what
     is really going
     on.
     Somehow this
     mystery involves
     me.
     I first must
     return to Daikak
     and report to him.
     Maybe he can
     figure out what
     is going on.

Kane quickly
heads back for
Summit Temple.

********************************************
*              Summit Temple               *
********************************************
Daikak: Kane, you
       are safe! And you
       seem stronger...
       You have done
       well to get the
       sword of
       Kusanagi, but
       you must now
       return to Izumo
       to revive the
       serpent god of
       the Iwato family.
       This will answer
       all questions.

Kane: There's
     someone here! A
     woman!

Princess Asaka: I am Princess
               Asaka, of the
               proud Iwato
               I shall kill you
               to avenge
               my fallen people!

Kane: Wait!First,
     I want to talk to
     you!

Asaka: Silence!
      Are you afraid?
      You cannot hide!

Asaka casts a
spell, changing
into a dragon!

(after defeating Asaka)

Kane kills the
dragon!

Asaka: You...
      you broke the
      spell!
      Go on,kill
      me! I want no
      mercy from you!

"Enough, Asaka!"

A voice called
out from within
the main shrine.

"Kane,you said you
wished to talk!
so do we!
Enter the main
hall of the
shrine!"

(after entering the shrine)

Shimazu: Welcome,
        Kane. What do you
        want to say?

Kane: I have come to
     revive your god!
     Why do you
     prevent
     me from righting
     the wrong that
     has been done?

Shimazu: We
        do want our
        god revived...

Asaka: Shimazu!
      Don't tell me you
      believe him!!

Shimazu: But
        there are so many
        riddles!
        Why can he use the
        sword of Kusanagi?
        And who has
        restored our
        powers, and for
        what reason?
        I think Daikak is
        hiding something
        from us!
        Kane, a truce! I
        want to talk with
        Daikak!

Shimazu and
Asaka disappear...

"Augghh!"

Suddenly, Shimazu
screams from
outside!

(after exiting the shrine)

In front of the
main hall of the
shrine.

Shimazu and the
others are being
attacked

Kane: I have to
     go help them!

(after defeating the enemy)

Kane: Shimazu,
     are you O.K.?

Shimazu: I'm done
        for...please...
        take this...

Shimazu gives
Kane a sphere.

There is a
strange mark on
the sphere.

Shimazu: I meant
        to give you this
        before, but...
        this sphere will
        help you to
        restore our god!

Kane: What were
     all of you
     planning to do?

Shimazu: We
        wanted to get
        revenge for our
        ancestors!

Kane: Revenge??
     For your
     ancestors?

Shimazu: Against
        the Tenson tribe
        who stole our
        land
        Your people are
        their
        descendants.
        All will be
        resolved by the
        serpent of
        Yamato.
        Kane, go to the
        Kumano Shrine
        and see Utsuho.
        He will help you.

Kane: Shimazu!!

Peacefully,
Shimazu breathed
his last.

Asaka: I'll
      ensure that
      Shimazu's wishes
      are seen to
      I will now believe
      what you said
      about our god...
      But if I discover
      that to be a lie,
      I will kill you!

With those words,
Asaka
disappears!

Kuma: Kumano
     Shrine? That's

Kane: Utsuho!!
     Hmm, he's
     not here!

Utsuho: Who calls
       me? You! Kane of
       Summit Temple!
       I will smash you
       to avenge my
       brothers!

Kane then
removes the
sphere he got
from Shimazu.

Kane: Utsuho,
     look at this!

Utusuho: That was
        Shimazu's!

Kane: He gave it
     to me and said to
     come here!

Utusuho: Ok, what
        do you want to
        say to me?

Kane explains the
events leading up
to the present.

Utsuho: Shimazu
       and I questioned
       our chief's plans.
       I will show you
       where the serpent
       is, at Kakogen
       in Hinokami.
       I can't tell you
       anymore than
       that.
       Asaka and I will
       make sure you do
       as Shimazu hoped.
       Maybe someday we
       will understand
       each other
       better.

And with that,
Utsuho
disappears.

Kane senses a
great amount of
energy in the air.

Kane: There must
     be something in
     that caldron!
     This looks
     like some sort of
     entrance!
     There's a
     round depression
     here...

Kane places
Shimazu's sphere
in the hole.

Kane: Oww! I got
     an electric
     shock!
     It's no
     use. I can't put
     the sphere here.

Kane prays to
Indra, god of
lightning.

Kane: Indra,
     strike thy foes
     with thy fury!

Indra sends a
bolt of lightning
down on the enemy!

The power in the
cauldron
was destroyed by
the force.

Kane places the
sphere in the
hole.

The top burst off
of the caldron!

Kane: There seems
     to be a passage
     inside!

     There's a

     here! It's huge!

       you have any

Kane: I found a
     battleship, but
     not the snake!

Utsuho: You
       didn't know?!
       The <snake> is the
       computer!
       An ancient god was
       <transplanted>
       into the computer!
       He has watched
       over the people of
       Iwato since then!
       Daikok only
       knows how to
       restore a god,
       not a machine
       but he can
       control us at
       will. Only you
       can fight him!
       It's up to you to
       restore our god!
       You must help us!

********************************************
*                Hinokami                  *
********************************************
Kane: Daikok, come
     out and face me!

Suddenly, the
warriors appear
as evil beasts!

Kezeus: Our plan
       to lure you here
       has worked well!

Kane: You... you
     are practicers of
     magic?

Kazeus: That
       matters not to
       you, a dead man!
       Daikak was a pawn
       we used to fool
       Summit Temple!
       He never knew we
       controlled him.
       He bought us
       enough time! Now
       you shall die!

Kane defeats
Kezeus!

Kezeus: Daikok, do
       not let Kane live!
       He hinders us!

With a last order
to Daikok, Kezeus
vanishes!

Daikok seems to be
here, wearing
strange armor.

Kane: You say
     nothing!
     Open your eyes!

Daikok starts
speaking
gibberish.

Kane: It's
     no good,
     He's crazy! And
     dangerous!

(after defeating Daikok)

Kane: The rest of
     the armor is
     broken and
     useless.
     Hey! This
     mark was on
     Shimazu's sphere!

Kane takes the
armored glove.

********************************************
*              Kumano Shrine               *
********************************************
Utsuho: Kane, you
       are safe! What
       did you find out?
       That
       armor was
       Daikok's special
       armor!
       It is likely the
       key to waking up
       the serpent!

********************************************
*            Battleship Ameno              *
********************************************
Kane is
transported to
the cockpit of a
craft.

Computer: ...The
         Battleship Ameno.
         All systems
         yellow
         Insert the input
         device and issue a
         command.

The glove on
Kane's hand fits
the hand imprint.

Computer: ID
         confirmation
         complete.

Kane's mind
merges with that
of the
serpent-god Ooku!

Ooku: Long ago
     the Iwato ruled
     a highly advanced
     world.
     In their time
     they trapped an
     evil lord which
     threatened their
     planet.
     But in trapping
     the beast they
     used up their
     magic force and
     were ruined.
     For many years
     they kept
     this beast trapped
     in a pyramid on a
     distant planet.
     When your people
     came, the few
     remaining Iwato
     decided not to
     interfere, choosing
     instead to fade
     away, taking the
     secret of the
     evil lord with
     them.
     This is the truth
     behind the
     legends.
     Kane, evil beings
     seek to revive the
     evil lord.
     He is trapped in
     the pyramid on
     Mt.Minakami!
     This ship is
     heading for the
     place.
     You must stop the
     forces of evil
     from taking over
     the pyramid!

Computer: Throttle up to
         120 percent; all
         systems go.
         Flight path is
         clear. Ameno is
         ready for
         takeoff.

The ameno has
arrived at
Mt.Minakami.

Ooku: We cannot
     help you much,
     Kane!
     I will spare you
     as much energy as
     I can!
     That is all
     we can do for you.
     We can't give
     more
     The extra
     strength should
     help you in future
     struggles.
     We are all
     counting on you,
     Kane!

The ship's
transporter hums
to life.

Now at the north
side of the
pyramid.

********************************************
*           Mt.Minakami Pyramid            *
********************************************
Kane prays to the
god Makiri.

Kane: Makiri,
     give me strength!

Kane calls on his
power and flies
up in the sky.

Kane is standing
on top of the
pyramid!

Kane takes out
the pyramid point.

Kane: Oops!

The pyramid point
slips out of
Kane's hand.

The pyramid point
is resting on the
tip of the
pyramid.

Kane: This is all
     very strange.
     Maybe...
     I better go down
     and investigate
     again.

(after reaching the end of the pyramid)

Demon appears.

Demon: Welcome to your
      farewell party,
      Kane!

Kane: I've been
     tricked!

Demon: Very
      perceptive! Say
      your prayers!

Kane: What do you
     mean?

Demon: I have
      someone special to
      kill you! Regina!
      Disappears, a girl
      on armor appears.
      Her
      names is Regina,
      she is your equal.
      Regina! Kill him!

Regina attacks!

Kane: You must be
     possessed!

But Regina does
not here Kane's
words.

Kane: Wake up!
     I don't want to
     have to kill you!

Regina attacks again!

Kane: You are
     going to have to
     kill or be
     killed!

Regina finally
hears Kane's
words.

Suddenly
confused, Regina
attacks again...

Kane: I know that
     your true self
     lies hidden inside
     I can see that you
     really are a
     gentle person...
     Let's stop
     fighting. Call out
     your true self.

Regina: Kane!

Regina's tears
wash over Kane's
wounds.

Immediately, Kane
regains his
strength!

Demon: Kane,
      your days are
      numbered!
      I will free the
      lord of darkness
      despite you!

The echo of
Demon's
laughter lingers.

Kane: Demon
     has begun his
     work already!

Demon: You
      are already too
      late, Kane!
      He will soon be
      free, and you
      shall perish!

Kane: It's
     hopeless! I'm
     trapped!

(after defeating Demon)

Kane fells
Demon!

Demon: Impossible! I can
      not be killed...
      I am head of the
      evil lord's army!
      I do not die
      cheaply!
      Before I die,
      I will
      free my lord!

Kane: The
     pyramid...!! It's
     collapsing! Run!

Gragging Regina,
Kane heads for
the ship!

Kane and Regina
head for
Summit Temple.

********************************************
*              Summit Temple               *
********************************************
Kane: Daikak,
     there's no excuse
     for my failure.

Daikak: The evil
       lord's prison was
       opened?

Kane: Yes. The
     enemy's forces we
     did defeat,
     but...

Daikak: If the
       dark lord is
       revived...
       We have to rely
       on the gods to
       help us.
       Kane, ride the
       Ameno to the
       underworld!
       Find Izanami!
       Perhaps Izanami
       will bless you
       with a gift.
       The dark lord has
       been freed, but he
       is still
       not awake.
       We must hurry
       before he begins
       to stir!

Kane: Count on
     me. I shall not
     fail!

Once again, Kane
boards the Ameno.

The Ameno sets
off on the journey
to the underworld.

********************************************

Guard: No living

      Go back! Go back!
      Hey! You
      are holding the
      sword of
      Kusanagi!
      Please, enter! This
      is the least we
      can do for you.
      Izanami is
      in Yomotsu. Cross
      at Misty Ferry.

********************************************
*              Misty Crossing              *
********************************************
The Ferryman is
sound asleep.
He won't wake!

Kane: Hello?
     Anybody here?

Ferryman: Zzz,
         zzz...

Kane: It's no
     use, he won't wake
     up!

********************************************
*            Underworld Entrance           *
********************************************
Guard: Is the
      Ferryman asleep
      again?
      In that case, see
      the princess Toyo
      at the Chizu Sea.
      She is the goddess
      of Nectar and can
      help you.

********************************************
*               Chizu Sea                  *
********************************************
Toyo: Come, come,
     join us and have
     some Nectar!
     Some necter will
     refresh you!

Kane drinks some
nectar and feels
refreshed.

Toyo: Take a
     bottle of nectar
     with you!

********************************************
*              Misty Crossing              *
********************************************
The Ferryman is
sound asleep.
He won't wake!

Kane opened the
bottle.

Ferryman: Hmm,
         that smell's
         good!

The smell of
nectar woke up
the Ferryman!

Kane holds out
the nectar to
the Ferryman.

Ferryman: Ahhh,
         very refreshing.
         The nectar woke me
         right up!
         Yomotsu, huh? I'll
         take you right
         across!

********************************************
*              Amano's House               *
********************************************
Suddenly, a
magic creature
appears!

Amano: A human?
      You must not
      venture here!
      A mere human
      dares to oppose
      me?

Amano attack.

Ker-crash!!

Kane defeats
Amano!

Amano: Please,
      please, spare me,
      giant among men!
      You'll really
      spare me? How can
      I repay you?

********************************************
*               Izanami Shrine             *
********************************************
Izanami: What do
        you wish of me?

Kane: The lord of
     evil is being
     revived!
     I come to seek
     help in preventing
     this event.

Izanami: Hmm, I
        see...
        I am not able to
        destroy the lord
        of evil, but...
        If you are true of
        spirit and stout
        of heart,...

Kane: What must I
     do?

Izanami: Find the mirror,
        then return here.
        Go to
        the shrine of
        Yomotsu in
        Tamagi.

********************************************
*              Yomotsu Shrine              *
********************************************
The entrance to
Yomotsu Shrine,
Cerberus is here!

Kane: Hey!
     Anybody here!

Berberus: Rrrorf!
         Grrowwff!

Kane: It's no
     use, there's no one
     here.

********************************************
*              Amano's House               *
********************************************
Amano: What's
      up?

Kane: I went to
     see the god
     Yomotsu...

Amano: That guard
      dog is pretty
      foreboding,
      right?
      He likes music.
      Go to Toki Field
      and search for a
      harp

********************************************
*               Toki Plains                *
********************************************
Kane: There's a
     huge rock there!
     There's an
     object in a crack
     under the rock.
     No good,
     I can't reach!

********************************************
*              Misty Crossing              *
********************************************
Ferryman: Use
         this oar, it's
         old, and I don't
         need it.

Kane takes the oar
in hand.

Ferryman: Don't
         worry, I have
         another!

********************************************
*               Toki Plains                *
********************************************
Kane sticks the
oar in crack
and pushes--

The rock rolls
over!

Kane: This is the
     mystic harp!

Kane takes the
harp of Amano.

********************************************
*               Chizu Sea                  *
********************************************
Kane plays the
harp.

Toyo: Let me teach
     you how to play
     properly.

Kane: I see...
     that sounds much
     better.
     Thank you!

********************************************
*              Yomotsu Shrine              *
********************************************
The entrance to
Yomotsu Shrine,
Cerberus is here!

Kane plays the
harp.

Cerberus sits and
listens to the
music.

The god names
Yomotsu can be
seen in the
shrine.

Yomotsu: Wonderful
        playing! What do
        you ask of me?

Kane tells
Yomotsu
everything that
has happened.

Yomotsu: The 8
        swords of fury
        are needed.
        One is held by
        the Thunder God!

********************************************
*              Misty Crossing              *
********************************************
Ferryman: The god
         of thunder is in
         the underworld.
         I'll take you to
         very near where
         he is!

********************************************
*              Yomotsu Shrine              *
********************************************
Kane holds out
the sword of
fury.

Yomotsu: You
        got it!
        You defeated the
        god of thunder!
        A very powerful
        god indeed!
        Now go to the
        holy bridge
        to find the
        sacred mirror!

********************************************
*              Amano's House               *
********************************************
Amano: The holy
      bridge? Look for a
      rock door nearby.

********************************************
*               Holy Bridge                *
********************************************
Kane sticks the
sword in the
pedestal!

There is a huge,
bright flash!

Kane: Something
     happened!
     That
     entrance must
     lead to the
     mirror!

********************************************
*               Izanami Shrine             *
********************************************
Kane takes the
sacred mirror!

Izanami: You got
        the mirror!

Kane: Please tell
     me how to kill the
     Dark Lord!

Izanami: There is
        only one way to
        to kill
        the Dark Lord...
        You, Kane, must
        do it yourself.

Kane: Huh,
     me...?

Izanami: You
        received a gift
        of increased power
        earlier...
        But you do not yet
        know your true
        capacity for
        strength!
        Now face your
        destiny as a
        Spellcaster!
        Awaken the serpent
        god and call his
        power unto
        yourself!
        The serpent has
        much energy.
        Concentrate the
        energy using the
        sacred mirror.
        Use the sword of
        Kusanagi to draw
        the power into
        yourself!
        That mystic
        power...along
        with everything
        you have learned..
        will give you the
        strength to defeat
        the Dark Lord...
        If your heart
        remains pure!
        Kane,everyone
        is awaiting your
        victory!

Kane: I go to my
     destiny!

Kane mounts the
Ameno and heads
for Summit Temple.

********************************************
*              Summit Temple               *
********************************************
Daikak: Kane,
       heres the sword
       of branches!

Kane takes the
sword.

Daikak: Hurry,
       Kane! The Dark
       Lord awakens!
       Leave the harp
       here! It will be
       of no further
       use!

Kane: Yes,
     Daikak!

Kane: Count on
     me. I shall not
     fail!

Daikak: Hurry, and
       stop the revival
       of the Dark Lord!

********************************************
*             Kashima Shrine               *
********************************************
Kane: The Dark
     Lord has already
     begun to wake!

Kane swings the
sword and cuts
the cornerstone.

Kane: I can feel
     terrific energy
     pouring forth!

The energy begins
to take the form
of a snake!

Kane: The serpent
     god!

Kane throws the
sacred mirror at
the serpent god!

The energy of the
serpent god fills
the mirror!

Kane raises the
sword of
Kusanagi...

The energy of the
serpent god flows
into Kane!

Kane: Aaaughhh!

The true power
within Kane is
called forth!

Kane! Quick! To
the final battle
with the Dark
Lord.

********************************************
*                  Ending                  *
********************************************
The evil lord and his armies
have been defeated.
But as long as suffering
exists, the threat that
the Dark Lord will return
remains.

You must strive to relieve
that suffering. The road
ahead of you is long, hard
and endless. You must not
pause, but journey ever
onward. For that is your
destiny, Master of Spells.
