"(EARPIECE BUZZING)" "(BEEPING)" "MR BIG:" "Hello, Mai." "Why did you pick this freezing hole?" "Payback." "Remember that sauna you chose last time?" "You gonna hide back there all day?" "You wish." "Boy, you really hold a grudge." "What the hell is that?" "That'll be my victory." "That was close." "Hey, does your mother know you're wearing her coat?" "It was a gift." "Oh..." "Ouch." "(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)" "(MR BIG GROANING)" "I'm just going to lay here for a second." "You do that." "(BEEPING)" "Oh, God." "(EXCLAIMS)" "Shit!" "You got to be kidding me." "Excuse me, you wouldn't have happened to have seen my date, would you?" "No, but I could try to help you find her ifyou want." "You're late." "Sorry." "You were called in?" "Ten minutes ago." "And?" "I'm going on to the next round." "Mai, I'm so proud ofyou." "Let's skip the party." "No, no, no, no." "You said we were late." "Invitation card, please." "Excuse me?" "Sorry, Mr Yagami." "You don't need an invitation." "(CHUCKLES)" "I think we just lost camera seven." "Do you know where l was stationed before this?" "Afghanistan." "That's right, Afghanistan." "Million dollar surveillance equipment sent to the hills of Tora Bora, thousands of miles away from civilisation." "Anything I wanted was a phone call away." "So could somebody please tell me how I can be in the most technologically advanced country in the world and not get one decent surveillance camera?" "I don't..." "Don't all answer at once." "lori, I'm so glad you could finally make it." "I am so sorry we're late." "Chizuru, this is Mai Shiranui." "It's so wonderful to finally meet you." "I understand congratulations are in order." "Well, thank you very much." "You've come a long way this past year." "I can't remember when we've had a fighter quite so driven." "Well, now that you're here, I guess we can begin." "Truth be told, I'm a little nervous." "What's going on?" "Well, these artefacts have never been displayed like this." "Well then, why risk it?" "If anything should happen..." "Takao Iwata insisted." "He's in financial control of the tournament, and it's no secret he likes to show off." "I lust have to make sure the security we've put in place is adequate." "Does she know about our cameras?" "I don't think so, but..." "Thank you." "Wow." "Look at you." "The way they treat you, you'd think you were the King of Fighters." "I've been retired way too long." "I've been invited because I'm the last of the Yagami clan." "You never told me why you retired so early." "It's complicated." "Well, you're a complicated guy, lori." "I wouldn't expect it to be simple." "Another time." "Promise?" "l will." "Hey, that's not a promise." "I will." "Come on." "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Mr Iwata." "Please, follow me." "Come with me." "Come on." "Best seats in the house." "There they are, the treasures of the clans." "These make the King of Fighters tournament possible." "(PHONE RINGING)" "You need to take that?" "No, I don't." "You have my full attention tonight, I'm sorry." "Sit down." "Well, the secret of the treasures are meant to be kept within the clans." "Oh..." "But I can tell you a little." "Okay." "The Yasakani no Magatama was created by my ancestors almost 2,OOO years ago." "At that time, the necklace possessed the energy to unlock the door." "It's the key." "The Yata mirror is the door, and it was the Yata clan who first created the mirror." "Chizuru is the last descendant of that clan." "And do you remember what happens when you direct the energy of the necklace into the shield?" "You unlock the passageway to the other dimension." "Exactly." "But I still don't understand. I mean, you have a necklace and a mirror." "It's not logical." "How?" "Miss Logical, I forgot." "lori, we're using earpieces." "I mean, how does that even happen?" "Look, I know it doesn't look like much, but that's the point." "Chizuru's father was a genius, and he was able to consolidate the existing energy waves from these artefacts and condense them into the earpieces we're using today." "Now, at the push of a button, we're able to enter another dimension." "Wow." "I know, it's crazy." "Well, what about that third one?" "It's the Kusanagi sword, the most important of the treasures." "Only the sword can defeat the Orochi." "What is that?" "The Orochi is a spirit, or a demon, that was banished to the dimension 1,800 years ago." "Legend has it promising unlimited power to anyone that frees it, but he would have to possess all three treasures to do so." "What would happen if he was freed?" "That's a lesson for another day when you're ready." "Hopefully soon." "I'm looking to do more. I think I need to." "Go!" "Go!" "Go, go, go, go!" "Let's get a closer look, okay?" "(DOOR OPENS)" "What?" "Who is that?" "Come on." "Chizuru." "How are you, Rugal?" "Excuse me." "Peek-a-boo." "Go!" "Now!" "Get out now!" "Chizuru." "Chizuru?" "She's hurt bad." "Chizuru, look at me, look at me." "Where's Rugal?" "He's down." "Don't worry, relax." "The relics." "He wants back in." "The relics are..." "Call for help." "We need an ambulance!" "Call 911!" "lori!" "Come with me." "Remember what waits for us on the other side." "I can't, and I can't let you either." "Okay." "More for me then." "Wouldn't it be ironic if I was to kill you now with this sword?" "Come out with your hands up!" "God." "Stay down!" "Hands above your head!" "No, go, go!" "It's the other guy, it's the other guy." "Thanks for the lesson, Chizuru." "(GRUNTS)" "No way out." "He's trapped." "Okay, are there any windows?" "Wait!" "Back off!" "Back off!"
