Cupido: Look at this one: Such lifeless eyes!
Kayin: Who are you? Go away.
Cupido: Even she who lost everything, who lives like a puppet with severed strings, even she struggles in the darkness of her soul to see a gleam of light. Not you. You'd need pain just to live like a lifeless doll.
Kayin: Yes, you're right, I've lost my way.
Cupido: You must learn how to walk alone. Otherwise you're at the mercy of fate. Then only death can save you.
|
Eiji: Kayin? I don't want to fight you!
Kayin: You think I do? But we've come this far. I must avenge my father's death, and you must find Sho. But only one of us can go on. Those are the rules.
Eiji: I know where we stand. We must fight.
Kayin: Yes. We must fight.
|
Ellis: I don't want to hurt you. But this is the only way to find my father!
Kayin: Little girls shouldn't play with blades.
Ellis: You must fight me! Please!
Kayin: The tournament is no place for you. Go home.
Ellis: I can't. You must fight with me!
|
Fo: Look at this youngster!
Kayin: I know you, Fo Fai. Magician, killer.
Fo: Me? I'm a harmless old man. I've heard you are looking to avenge your father's death.
Kayin: What do you know? Did you kill him?
Fo: I don't know much. All I know is-- I can't help killing a fresh one like you!
|
Gaia: Well, so it's you, not Eiji.
Kayin: Aye, it's me. Do you run the tournament? I must ask you-- who won last year?
Gaia: I must answer you? Such confidence. Your name?
Kayin: I am Kayin Amoh.
Gaia: Amoh? I did not know he had a son. This could be interesting.
|
Sho: It's been a long time. You look good.
Kayin: Sho! It is you! Where have you been? Eiji and Emi are worried about you. While you were gone, someone killed my father.
Sho: I know who killed him. The winner of last year's tournament.
Kayin: How do you know?
Sho: How could I not know? I was the winner.
Kayin: No...
|
Sofia: Go home before you get hurt, boy.
Kayin: Don't waste my time. I've got things to do.
Sofia: Oh, and I don't?
Kayin: We have to keep winning, eh? Can't win without the fight.
Sofia: It can't be helped. Come on then.
|
Kayin: You let me win. Why?
Cupido: I saw hope for you in the way you used your sword. Even though you have felt sorrow, you will find your way, even if you live as a wanderer.
Kayin: I entered this contest to seek vengeance. My father's killer turned out to be an old friend. He was Sho, the man who first taught me to fight. Where's the hope in that?
Cupido: You will find hope again. Until then, you will bear your sadness. You may find light, or stumble in the dark. It's up to you. I hope you won't be like her.
Kayin: It's over. It's all over.
|
Kayin: Eiji--
Eiji: No. You're better than I am, that's all. I'll be fine. Besides, I'll never find my brother if I fight this badly. Kayin, you will find what you're looking for.
Kayin: And so will you.
Eiji: A good fight! Just like the old days.
Kayin: The old days... I must go now, Eiji. Say hello to Emi.
|
Ellis: I'm sorry. I, I...
Kayin: You fought bravely. I'm just older and more skillful, that's all.
Ellis: You are too kind. I picked a fight I couldn't win.
Kayin: Here, don't cry. You look better when you smile.
Ellis: I wanted to find my father. I heard that he had something to do with this tournament. I had to enter!
Kayin: Don't worry, you will find him. Have faith and don't give up. Your thoughts will reach out to him.
Ellis: You're right. I must not lose hope.
Kayin: Never lose hope.
|
Kayin: Did you kill my father?
Fo: I only like young blood.
Kayin: Blast! It isn't you. I know it.
Fo: Poor boy. The more you love someone, the more pain it causes.
Kayin: Advice from a wise elder?
|
Gaia: You're good. You are Amoh's son.
Kayin: Did you know my father?
Gaia: He defeated me, utterly. Years ago. He fought like you. After our fight, I never saw him again.
Kayin: I learned to fight from a master. Sho, the brother of my best friend. Do you know him?
Gaia: You learned from him? He won the last tournament. He even fought Master. He is called the Stranger.
Kayin: Sho? No, that must be a lie.
Gaia: You know it is not.
Kayin: I won't believe it!
Gaia: Come, see with your own eyes. Soon you will meet the stranger.
|
Kayin: Now then, tell me.
Gaia: If I tell you, what will you do?
Kayin: I will gather clues, and find vengeance.
Gaia: Vengeance... you will find your father's killer, and then what? Kill him? If you find him, you lose everything. Can you take that?
Kayin: I've already lost everything.
Gaia: You think so? All right, here!
|
Kayin: Please tell me that you didn't kill my father.
Sho: Have you come to avenge his death, or not? Here stands his killer. Destroy me. That's what I deserve.
Kayin: I look in your eyes and I see nothing but sorrow there. But inside, you must be the same. The Sho I knew would never kill.
Sho: But I'm not the Sho you knew. I'm no longer a man. I am chaos. And my sword brings only death.
Kayin: I entered this tournament to find a killer. Well, I've found him. But there is no joy in the finding. Why you, Sho, my teacher, my guide?
Sho: Kayin, be strong. You don't need me. Take up your sword. I am not your friend. I am your enemy.
Kayin: I can't do it! Eiji! What should I do?
|
Kayin: Sho, it isn't true. You didn't kill my father.
Sho: It is the truth, Kayin.
Kayin: No, you wouldn't do such a thing.
Sho: Kayin... I am no longer the man you once knew.
Kayin: Please tell me you're lying.
Sho: I'm ready to face you. Destroy me, Kayin. It's all I deserve.
Kayin: No. No.....
|
Kayin: Sorry, but I must go on.
Sofia: I've heard of you. The man with the Scottish sword. They call you Storm. I've heard you wish to avenge your father's death.
Kayin: Yes. This is my purpose in life.
Sofia: I have a purpose too. I wish I could understand it. Sometimes I hate myself.
Kayin: Believe me, I understand. I wouldn't want my daughter to see me doing this. But I have no choice. I must go on.
Sofia: I accept my defeat. Go now.
