TROY SAGA.
alright, my brothers, listen closely. tonight we have [name] pay.
but now we'll be the ones who slay.
do what i say and you'll see them again.
avenge your father.
find that inner strength now, use that well of pride. fight through every pain now.
ask yourself inside: what do you live for? what do you try for? what do you wish for? what do you fight for?
i fight for us.
a vision of what is to come, cannot be outrun, can only be dealt with right here and now.
i don't think you're ready.
say no more, i know that i'm ready.
what sort of imminent threat does he pose that i cannot avoid?
know that he will grow from a boy to an avenger.
if you don't end him now you'll have no one else to save you.
i could raise them as my own!
please don't make me do this! please don't make me do this!
the blood on your hands is something you can't loose. all you can choose is whose.
i look into your eyesĀ and i think back to the son of mine.
will these actions haunt my days every man iāve slain? is the price i pay endless pain?
i'm just a man who's trying to go home, even after all the years away from what iāve known.
deep down i would trade the world to see my son and wife.
but when does a comet become a meteor? when does a candlе become a blaze? whеn does a man become a monster? when does a ripple become a tidal wave? when does the reason become the blame? when does a man become a monster?
with only goal in mind: make it back alive to our homeland.
full speed ahead!
watch where the birds fly, they will lead us to land.
something feels off here. i see fire, but there's no smoke.
we should find a way no one ends up dead.
you can relax, my friend.
i can tell you're getting nervous so do yourself a service and try to relax my friend.
think of all that we have been through, we'll survive what we get into.
i know that you're tired of the war and bloodshed. tell me, is this how we're supposed to live?
look at how you grip your sword, enough said.
why should we take when we could give?
you could show a person that you trust them when you stop and lower your guard.
i'm telling you this life is amazing when you great it with open arms.
if we don't get back safely, my men will turn this place into blazes.
have you forgotten the lessons i taught you?
have you forgotten to turn off your heart? this is not you.
i see you changing from how i've designed you.
my life has one mission, create the greatest warrior.
maybe one day they'll follow me and we'll make a greater tomorrow.
i know they'll change the world. they're a warrior of the mind.
how can you see through my spell?
i was lying! and you fell for my bluff!
enlighten me, what's your name?
nice try, but two can play at this game.
if you're looking for a mentor, i'll make sure your time's well spent.
don't disappoint me.
CYCLOPS SAGA.
i've gotta hand it to you both, this is quite the treat.
what gives you the right to deal a pain so deep? don't you know the pain you sow is pain you reap?
time to drink your blood over where you stand. your life is in my hand.
a trade, you see? take from you like you took from me.
there's been a misunderstanding. we never came here to steal. but now i can see we've done some damage, how about you and i make a deal?
my name is nobody.
yes, you shall be the final man to die.
and if we're defeated, they're as good as dead. straight ahead, that is who we're fighting.
no backup, no chance for support so draw out your sword! our foe must be thwarted right here and now!
show me how great is your will to survive!
no dying on me now! defeat is not allowed!
stand up and fight for your lives!
we must move quickly, we don't have much time.
what'll we do with our fallen friends?
remember them. when the fire begins to fade, for the fallen and the brave. we are not to let them die in vain.
our comrades will not die in vain.
who hurts you?
don't go!
have you forgotten the lessons i've taught you? he's still a threat until he's dead! finish it.
what good would killing do when mercy is a skill more of us could learn to use?
the next time you dare chose not to spare, remember them. remember us. remember me.
you were reckless. sentimental at best. that's not a teaching of mine.
you've grown soft. your dead friends can attest.
put your emotions aside.
i don't know where i went wrong, but i warned ya and you failed the test so now i'm gone.
this way, you'll know what your place is. this way, you can't cross the line. this way,Ā when all is over you'll keep yours and i'll keep mine. this way, you won't disappoint me. this way, you won't waste my time. this way, iāll close the door. consider this as my goodbye.
unlike you, every time someone dies, i'm left to deal with the strain.
i'll remind you i saw you as a friend, but now i'm done.
this way, you're out of my head now. this way, you won't plague my life.
you're not looking for a mentor. i'm not looking for a friend.
at least i know what i'm fighting for while you're fighting to be known. since you claim you're so much wiser, why's your life spent all alone? you're alone!
one day, you'll hear what i'm saying. one day, you might understand. one day, but not today, for after all you're just a man.
this day, you sever your own head.
this is my goodbye.
