"Logan." "This is where we're keeping her." "That's that construction site in the skull block..." "If you want to save her, then come on out." "We'll be right here." "Kurohagi..." "One more problem to deal with..." "Not only that, but I find out Yukio is your granddaughter." "Kind of a shock." "Whoa, look how deep it went in!" "It's kind of hard to handle, but still a pretty sweet weapon." "If you don't throw it right, you might kill her." "So what?" "She's screwed, even if Logan does show up." "You got that right." "No one getting in here." "Even with those claws of his?" "Those little pig stickers won't be able to scratch this bunker." "And to top it off, we've got heavy duty fire power pointed at every angle of approach." "No matter how he tries to get in..." "He's toast." "Even he can't survive something like that." "Well, there's some other security stuff set up, but..." "We'll save those for when he shows up." "With all this, I don't know if he'll have the guts to try." "Well, I guess we'll just have to kill time until he gets here with this!" "Where are you going?" "Ain't it obvious?" "To finish the fight they picked with me." "You can't." "You need to finish your end of our bargain first." "What was that?" "Our deal comes first." "So you're more worried about bringing Kurohagi down than you are about your granddaughter?" "What's so funny?" "!" "Yukio said something along those lines when she left this place." "She had the right idea." "Probably." "But still..." "It cries out..." "The pain in my leg is crying out!" "It tells me to kill Kurohagi." "I get wanting to take risks because of how you feel." "But not for the sake of some stupid grudge but for the sake of someone you love!" "Min, get the map." "R-right!" "Don't you want to know the shortcut to the Dragon Palace?" "There's only one direct path... and this is it." "It's called Hell Road." "I assure you there's no irony in its naming." "Kinda on the nose, ain't it?" "There have been numerous attempts to assault the Dragon Palace using this road..." "But..." "None of them made it back in one piece." "Hell Road..." "I can't think of a more perfect name." "So what ambushes should I be worried about?" "What kind of traps?" "I have no idea." "Y'know, I would've thought that kind of thing would be included under "showing you the shortcut to the Dragon Palace."" "I just told you that no one who has tried this path has survived!" "There's no way for us to know!" "Well, when you put it that way..." "There's only one thing I can say for sure." "Hell Road is like the embodiment of Madripoor's history." "What?" "Criminals from countries all over the world gathered here, and while climbing over each other to establish dominance, managed to create an independent city-state." "And all over this city-state, there are traps that were designed to kill off any outsiders who made their way here." "Truly hellish traps, understand?" "Hell Road is where those traps are most prevalent." "So it's gonna be like a first-hand history lesson, eh?" "I dunno what kind of tuition I'm expected to pay, but I get the feeling it's supposed to come out of my hide." "So what are you gonna be doing while I'm learning about your rich history?" "If you make your way down Hell Road, Kurohagi will be occupied with tracking you." "We'll use that distraction to invade the Dragon Palace from underground." "Could you move a little bit?" "This is a tunnel we've dug for just such an occasion." "I get it..." "I'm just the distraction, I guess." "I've told you what you need to know." "Yeah." "I dunno how fair a trade this is, but I'm in." "But first..." "I'm gonna take care of some business." "Let me show you how you're supposed to use this thing!" "Looks like I made the right move, checking up on you like this." "Mr. Kurohagi!" "This is the weapon that took Logan down, but don't worry..." "It only has a fraction of the dose he got." "But these rounds are the full dosage." "Shall we test it out?" "What's wrong?" "!" "A.I.M. developed this one with lethal applications in mind!" "It should be able to kill any mutant it's used on, as well." "When Logan shows up, use this to finish him off." "Then cut his head off, and bring it to me." "It'll make a lovely decoration to commemorate my marriage to Mariko." "You dying as bait for someone bigger is perfect!" "Just like your parents did." "Y-you... bastard..." "My father always had his eyes on his opponents, even if he claimed victory in a conflict." "So I knew all about you..." "The only thing I would criticize him on is not finishing you off!" "If you'll excuse me..." "I need to get ready for the ceremony." "You look beautiful!" "It really suits you, miss!" "We should be able to finish the preparations in time." "We shouldn't waste any time." "That mirror reflects the reality of your situation." "Father..." "I see you're still thinking about Logan." "He will make his way here, just as you've been wishing." "That should make for an ideal wedding gift." "His death, that is." "It will mark the beginning of your new life." "How are we supposed do know Logan hasn't chickened out?" "I dunno, but Mr. Kurohagi says he's coming." "He ain't coming..." "Check camera six." "Huh?" "I don't see anything." "Look closer, dumbass!" "That's—!" "Y-you gotta be kidding..." "Yeah, it's him!" "Logan!" "That's right, bring it on!" "This should be good!" "Dammit!" "Alright, time to get serious." "Bring it on!" "Got him!" "Oh crap!" "Don't worry about it!" "He can't get in here." "You sure about that?" "!" "Of course!" "Not even a scratch..." "I see." "It got quiet all of a sudden..." "Maybe he gave up?" "Go out and check, if you're so sure." "Hell no!" "He won't give up... that's one thing we can count on." "So what are we gonna do?" "Just sit here?" "Nah..." "Mr. Kurohagi will figure out something, eventually." "We just have to wait here until then." "What the—" "I gotta say, I think I like you better when you can't talk." "Took you long enough!" "Now who's the ungrateful one?" "Not that I was expecting much..." "I remember these..." "You can get nostalgic later." "We've got a job to do." "I guess you're right." "And I guess I might as well say this..." "Thank you." "Well, you're welcome." "Where are we headed?" "The shortcut to the Dragon Palace." "Shortcut?" "They called it Hell Road and made it sound like a big deal." "Who told you about it?" "!" "Some old guy named Koh." "You met him—?" "He kinda forced me to." "He used that scrawny kid Rin to lure me out." "Have you heard... the whole story from him?" "About me..." "Yeah." "Didn't even have to ask him." "I see..." "He's the one who raised me." "I have to admit, the only reason I'm still alive is because of the things he taught me." "But..." "But the only thing in my grandfather's head is what would have happened if he had taken control of Madripoor from Kurohagi's father." "He cares more about taking control of this island than he does about avenging my mother and father!" "When I realized he was training me to help him for that purpose, I started to hate him." "And I left." "I still feel the same." "I don't intend on getting caught up in your family's business." "I'm sure you don't." "You're gonna get revenge on Shingen for killing your parents." "And I'm gonna save Mariko." "That's all there is to it!" "Right." "That's all it is." "What do you think?" "It looks lovely." "You look like a movie star, sir." "You don't have to flatter me with false praise..." "Oh sir, I would never!" "I'm sure Ms. Mariko will think you look great as well!" "That's right!" "R-really—?" "Pardon me." "Damn you, Logan..." "I've got news!" "Logan was successful in rescuing Ms. Yukio." "Master Koh!" "They were seen heading toward Hell Road together." "So far, so good..." "But this is where it really begins." "Although I'm sure Wolverine is in for a surprise..." "Let's get ready!" "So this is Hell Road—?" "I'd heard about it, but my grandfather always kept me from checking it out." "Madripoor's history of crime..." "Let's check it out." "Logan has started down Hell Road." "Seems like a regular backroad, if you ask me..." "For now, at least." "We're gonna push on through!" "It's not like there's any other options!" "Logan..." "The remains of the people who went down Hell Road... and never came back." "Mariko." "Next time on Wolverine..." "Hell Road."
