"Long ago in a distant land I, Aku, the shape-shifting master of darkness unleashed an unspeakable evil." "But a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me." "Before the final blow was struck I tore open a portal in time, and flung him into the future where my evil is law." "Now the fool seeks to return to the past and undo the future that is Aku." "Aye, I know of such a thing." "But a tale must be told." "A fisherman's tale about the Triceraquin." "The most elusive creature in the sea." "Yes, the Triceraquin." "AII right, who ordered the green tea?" "But I caught one once." "Seven years ago, off of Tempest Point." "I braved those waters for three days without a single bite." "But on the third day, something bit." "Something big." "On this point, you'll have to trust me because I let the Triceraquin go." "Ah, sure you did...." "Pipe down, you gunnysacks!" "Yes, I let him go." "And in return, he told me about the secret hidden city at the bottom of the ocean Oceanus, and the treasure that lies within it." "A machine." "A time machine." "Oh, boy." "It'II take a brave man to make the trip." "The waters past Tempest Point aren't for the meek." "But you look like a brave man." "A brave man, indeed." "The hidden city." "No, wait!" "Stop!" "Don't be afraid, little one." "We won't hurt you." "tell us, what's your name?" "Jack." "Forgive my trespassing." "I have come to" "Jack?" "well, welcome, Jack." "welcome to Oceanus." "We are the Triceraquins, amphibious beings who reside here." "congratulations on surviving your journey." "Yes." "And without gills too." "Good show, boy." "Come, Jack." "You must be tired." "And hungry too." "We were just about to sit down for supper." "I'm sure we can make room for one more." "Sushi!" "A toast, to our new friend." "welcome, Jack." "welcome, Jack!" "Thank you." "Due to the nature of our geography, it's not often that we receive visitors." "In fact, you're the first." "Of course, it wasn't always like this." "We were once a very social race." "Our people lived on the surface of the ocean and traded with the locals of the mainland." "That was, of course, before he came and banished us to the bottom of the sea." "Aku." "Yes." "But that's ancient history now." "But enough about us." "tell us, young Jack what brings you out this far?" "I am humbled by your generosity, and much indebted to you all." "But the reason I have made this journey to you is to ask" "The time machine, yes?" "It's what you've come for, isn't it?" "You know of it?" "Of course we know of it." "It's ours." "We built it." "What's more, we can take you to it." "But for now, eat, and then rest while we prepare all the details." "What is happening?" "What are you doing?" "You?" "Yes, me." "Did you think that this was your way out?" "No, my friend." "You are our way out." "No." "There is nothing we can do." "Sometimes the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." "I do not understand." "Soon it will all be over." "Sorry, Jack." "Aku!" "Listen, please!" "You don't know what you're doing!" "You have no idea who you're dealing with!" "well, well, Triceraquins." "I am pleased at what I see." "Why?" "Why have you done this?" "Yes." "Why don't you explain to our friend." "please, understand." "We had no choice." "It was either us or you." "You have made a mistake." "Aku cannot be trusted." "Enough!" "It is time for me to rid myself of this menace once and for all." "Goodbye, old friend." "Lord Aku, we have fulfilled our obligation to you." "We now ask that you" "fulfill mine?" "Yes." "Yes, the obligation." "Of course." "Yes...." "well, it seems that I've changed my mind!" "And your pathetic city will remain sunken isolated from the world for as long as I see fit!" "We have been betrayed!" "The samurai was right!" "Revenge!" "fools!" "No!" "The first wave has failed!" "hopefully, the second will succeed." "Can you not see Aku is beyond destruction?" "Now you will pay for your insolence." "It's no use." "He's far too powerful." "We must evacuate." "Wait!" "What about Jack?" "It is pointless to struggle." "Accept your fate!" "Never!" "A brave warrior to the end, eh?" "What?" "welcome aboard, Iaddie." "hold on tight." "We're gonna make a run for it." "No!" "We must turn around!" "Are you mad, man?" "No." "I am the one who holds the key to Aku's destruction." "Lost his mind, he has." "You saw what happened back there." "Yes." "Aku is powerful." "But with my father's sword and the might of righteousness I can end Aku's tyranny forever, freeing all he has enslaved." "I beg you to trust me!" "As I once trusted you." "Now!" "The sword!" "well, good show, matey." "Kudos to you." "This is not over, samurai!" "We shall meet again." "It's so beautiful." "Jack, there's something...." "The way we betrayed you is unforgivable...." "I understand." "Aku's deceit runs deep." "Even a good heart can be tainted in the hands of Aku." "There was never a time machine, was there?" "My quest continues." "But if we could perhaps be of assistance to you in any other way...?" "well, there is one thing." "[ENGLISH]"
