Life has ground to a standstill. There are no more jobs to go to. No more
parks to walk in. People do what they're told, or nothing at all.
A warlord named Raptor rules the city. He runs Neo New York for a global
mob. And runs it without mercy.
Raptor has unleashed an army of ruthless, mutating Morphs upon the city to
enforce order.
Only two people stand in Raptor's way. A man named Slash, and a woman named
Alix.
Slash wields the magic sword, X-Kaliber. Better than Raptor's own blade, it
can rip through steel like rancid butter.
Slash is the only man who scares Raptor. And Raptor hates him for it.
KANE: "Raptor, this is Slash. One of the last honest agents in Special
Forces."
KANE: "We can't buy him off. His sword, X-Kaliber, is strong, like yours."
KANE: "As long as he's free, you'll never rule this city."
KANE: "This is the woman, Alix, Slash's partner in Special Forces."
KANE: "We can't buy her, either."
KANE: "Slash and Alix are the only agents we don't own."
KANE: "They dare to rebel against your authority. Raptor, what should we
do?"
RAPTOR: "Kane, anything we can't buy, we take. Bring me Alix. Then Slash
will come to us."
RAPTOR: "And at last we'll have X-Kaliber."
KANE: "Brilliant, sir."
RAPTOR: "I've met this Slash before. It'd be thrilling to fight him."
RAPTOR: "I'm so bored with spineless little men like you."
KANE: "Yes, sir, but unfortunately Slash will never get this far."
RAPTOR: "Of course not. You'll see to it."

| 3. STAGE 1 |
+=--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==+
1-1: This is a pretty basic area. Kill any enemies that get in your way and
avoid falling to your death.
1-2: Avoid getting hit by the guns on the walls and the acid dripping. Fall
through the holes in the floors until you get to the bottom. You will
fight a mini-boss here. A simple strategy is used for this boss. Just
slash and then defend. Keep repeating this until it dies.
1-3: As always, be careful about falls. Stay as high as you can in this
area.
BOSS: TATTOO
TATTOO: "So! Another doomed agent."
SLASH: "Another man with a bad tattoo."
TATTOO: "No one insults my rose, boy! My thorns are gonna cut you... real
bad."
Tattoo has a habit of attacking many times in a row before leaving himself
opened. Defend when he is doing this (or power slash if you don't feel like
waiting. Then, stab him. Repeat this until he is defeated. You can also
corner him and just keep power slashing.
SLASH: "Where is Raptor?"
TATTOO: "No one knows... except his Lieutenant, Kane."
TATTOO: "He's at one of the construction sites."
SLASH: "Don't cut yourself, Tattoo."

+=--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==+
2-1: Watch out for the guys on the motorcycles. Also, avoid the flame traps.
2-2: Watch out for the guys here. They will roll at you and some will come
out of the doors. When you reach the top, you will fight a mini-boss
(consisting of two enemies.) Start stabbing on both sides to keep them
from attacking you. If you keep doing this, they will fall quickly.
2-3: Make sure to avoid falling down, as this is an easy way to die. When
you approach the platform with the glass, jump at the glass and attack
it.
BOSS: CHAINSAW
CHAINSAW: "Halt, you worthless sack of flesh! Your journey ends here!"
SLASH: "How do you figure?"
CHAINSAW: "Because I'm going to shred you!"
SLASH: "No one in this city has manners. Come here -- I'll teach you a few!"
When Chainsaw has a gun, he can only shoot. He can't jump at all, meaning
you'll be able to defend against his shots, and then power slash. When he
gets his chainsaw, he will be much faster. You'll need to find a good time
to attack, as he may attack a lot one moment, and not at all the other. The
only move that will really hurt him is a downwards power slash. Repeat this
until he is defeated.
CHAINSAW: "Tilt... tilt... program over..."
SLASH: "Another Morph! Where does Raptor get that kind of know-how?"
CHAINSAW: "Tilt... tilt..."

| 5. STAGE 3 |
+=--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==+
3-1: Avoid the mines by either blocking or jumping over. At the end of the
path, you will approach a mini-boss. After he stops slashing, use a
power slash. Defend when needed and this boss should be a breeze.
3-2: This area consists of fighting another mini-boss. You will need to stab
him before he attacks. After you hit him, he will jump up and then down
again. You will need to hit him before he does an attack, again. Repeat
this until you are victorious.
3-3: This is the most annoying area in the game. Robots with jet packs will
fly over you dropping bombs. If you get hit, you will end up falling to
a previous part of the area. To get rid of these when on moving
platforms, use a power slash.
BOSS: KANE
SLASH: "You must be Kane."
KANE: "The one and only. Any last requests?"
SLASH: "Where is Raptor?"
KANE: "Hah! Beat me, shake me, and you might find out!"
Kane will try to attack you whenever you can, that is, if he at a corner. He
will waste time running to a corner before attacking you, so you can use a
downwards power slash on him when he is running. Use your basic knowledge of
defending and Kane should go down easily.
KANE: "You're good, Slash... almost as good as Raptor..."
SLASH: "Where is he? I want Raptor now!"
KANE: "He's in the Inter... the InterZone... But you'll never make it."
SLASH: "Kane, you've got a bad attitude."

| 6. STAGE 4 |
+=--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==+
4-1: Pretty easy. Just run through the area and defend when you're about to
be hit by a fish.
4-2: Go through it normally and make sure to watch out for the fish. You'll
fight a mini-boss at the end of this area. To beat it, you'll need to
do a mid-air slash before the boss can attack you.
4-3: Be careful of the things on the ground. They will fly at you and shoot
lasers.
BOSS: DR.BLAST
SLASH: "Here's the InterZone... but you're too ugly, even for Raptor!"
DR. BLAST: "And you're like an ant... compared to Dr. Blast!"
SLASH: "Pardon me if I'm not impressed."
DR. BLAST: "Oh, but you will be... when I squash you! Hee... hee... hee..."
Dr. Blast can only shoot a gun when he's in his human form. You'll want to
do a stab when he starts to move. After a few hits, he'll change into a
monster. He's very hard to hit when on the ground, but in the air he is very
prone to attacks. I recommend using a downwards power slash because you'll
catch him most of the time falling down from his jump.
DR. BLAST: "You destroyed me... You pest... you little insect..."
SLASH: "Blast didn't make these Morphs by himself... something's wrong..."
SLASH: "Just wish I brought along some bug spray."

5-1: Just like last stage, you'll be faced with more things on the ground
that shoot lasers. At the end, you will face a mini-boss. To simply
beat her, use a power slash before she attacks.
BOSS: RAPTOR
SLASH: "Raptor!"
RAPTOR: "Don't you recognize me... little brother!? We meet at last!"
RAPTOR: "It can't be any other way."
RAPTOR: "You've walked into my trap -- and now I want your sword!"
RAPTOR: "I have a mean blade, too -- to help me take it!"
SLASH: "Even if we're flesh and blood, Raptor, you've got to pay..."
SLASH: "For what you've done to this city and Alix."
Raptor isn't very hard. All you really need to do is stab or slash at him in
between his attacks. Always crouch and defend his attacks.
RAPTOR: "You haven't won. You think you get your pretty little partner back
now?"
RAPTOR: "Sorry, brother, it's time to meet the real boss!"
SLASH: "What do you mean? Where's Alix?"
RAPTOR: "I mean I just follow orders! Alix is with the real kingpin..."
RAPTOR: "A nightmare named Krux! But you're too late, Slash..."
SLASH: "Too late for what?"
RAPTOR: "You don't get it, do you? This is all a front!"
RAPTOR: "Krux isn't human! The Morphs are his!"
RAPTOR: "We're being invaded by gangsters from another dimension!"

| 8. STAGE 6 |
+=--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==+
6-1: This isn't very hard, but the dog-like Morphs are annoying. They can be
easily killed with a downwards power slash.
BOSS: SPUKE
SPUKE: "So, earthling, you've made it this far, after all."
SPUKE: "I'm Spuke. I work for Krux. And our plans for your world are almost
finished."
SLASH: "Quit yapping, Spuke! I want Alix!"
SPUKE: "No! You have what is ours! X-Kaliber! And I've come to take it
back!"
For this boss, you will need to use slashes as your main attack. You will
have to catch Spuke in mid-air to hit him. If you can time it right, you can
jump into the air and then slash him on the way down when he rolls towards
you.
BOSS: KRUX
SLASH: "Alix!"
KRUX: "Human worm! Your pathetic little knife can't stop me!"
KRUX: "Your planet's mine! To use up and destroy!"
For the first part, try to get one hit at the head in the beginning. You may
use a slash to hit it, or a downwards power slash, but with a downwards
power slash, you may not be able to defend the projectiles he shoots after
he takes damage. I suggest using a downwards power slash to take out
everything he creates when he creates it. After you have beaten him, you
will have to fight the rest of his body. The second part is very easy. Just
stand a little left or right from right under his head. Keep using the
downwards power slash move and he'll be defeated.
ALIX: "Where... where am I? Slash?"
SLASH: "It's all right, Alix. It's over."
ALIX: "I don't remember anything..."
SLASH: "Don't worry... everyone's all right... the warlords have fallen..."
SLASH: "We're free... Let's go home..."

Inspired by Slash and Alix, the people of Neo N.Y. began to change. No
longer terrorized by Krux, Raptor, and their army of Morphs, the people took
control of their lives and their city. There were jobs to do. There were
parks to walk in...
