This is
a history passed down through the ages.
A legend of destruction
brought by the sins of humanity.
Four hundred years ago,
humanity prospered.
But in their hearts,
deception, envy, and distrust
spread like a disease.
As an overripe fruit rots and falls,
it called forth the Dark.
Or rather,
created the Dark.
Using the power of the Dark,
humanity tried to rectify its mistakes.
They tried to eliminate strife from the world,
but the Dark
soon realized the true essence of the world humanity built.
I have been…
born.
The time has come
for your sins to be judged.
The Earth
desires peaceful sleep.
It must be freed from your hatred,
your distrust,
your greed,
and your pride.
The world must be set free
from the Dark within your hearts.
Humanity
was on the verge of destruction
at the hands of their own power,
their own Dark.
But at that time,
a great pillar of light
erupted from the ground toward the sky.
The thing that emerged from the light
resembled both a huge dragon spreading its wings
and a person wielding a sword.
The Dark and the Dragon
saw each other as enemies.
As if they knew
that they were destined to fight.
Their fight raged on,
shaking the axis of the Earth.
Several continents
sank into the ocean.
Their fight
claimed the lives
of billions of people.
But in the end, the Dragon was victorious.
As the years passed,
people also passed on the legend
from generation to generation.
The story gradually changed over time,
and soon became
something else entirely.
The real legend,
the truth,
is long since forgotten.
400 YEARS LATER
KINGDOM OF META-LLICANA CENTRAL METALLION CONTINENT
THE CONTENT, SETTING, ETC., OF THIS PROGRAM ARE FICTIONAL
AND HAVE NO RELATION TO ANY ACTUAL GROUPS, PEOPLE, NAMES, OR LAWS.
Go forth!
Spawn of chaos!
The Kingdom of Meta-llicana
will be ours!
Stand your ground!
This is our last line of defense!
They had to come now,
when the King, the knights, and the Great Priest are absent!
They've breached the gate!
Keep them out!
Crush them!
Crush them all!
THE ARRIVAL
The enemies are inside the castle!
All remaining troops,
head for the cathedral!
We must defend our princess.
Princess Sheila Tuel Meta-llicana!
Princess Sheila.
You'll be safe here in the cathedral.
Please hold on for a while.
Who are the intruders?
My lady,
they serve the late evil wizard
known as Dark Schneider.
They call themselves
the Dark Rebel Army.
Dark Rebel Army.
I'm scared!
You're in my way! Get off me!
Lucien!
What are you doing?
I'm scared, Yoko!
Let's get out of here!
You little wimp!
Stop crying!
Come on, wipe your face.
Okay.
I got your hanky dirty.
I'll go wash it.
It's fine, just give it to me.
No, I'll wash it first.
Be quiet!
There are too many enemies.
It's only a matter of time
before they get here.
Oh, no.
Yoko?
Yoko.
I will teach you
a secret spell.
When spoken, it releases a specific person
who has been sealed away using holy power.
It is extremely dangerous.
Therefore, you must not use it
unless the kingdom faces grave danger while I am away.
No matter what.
Uttering this spell
will awaken the second identity
sealed within Lucien.
What are you saying?
Lucien has another identity?
He is a reincarnation of an ancient wizard.
Dark Schneider.
Dark…
Schneider?
Once the seal breaks and he is awakened,
he will destroy his enemies
with his powerful magic.
Also…
In order to make this spell effective,
a virgin maiden's kiss will be needed.
What?
That's why
you must not get a boyfriend, Yoko.
You must remain pure.
What?
You've got to be kidding me!
Who comes up with this stuff?
I'll go wash the hanky.
Hey, Lucien!
Oh, my!
You're that kid!
What's a useless brat like you
doing here?
Say something, dammit!
You little brat!
Hey, man!
Don't hurt Lucien.
Who the hell are you?
I'm Yoko.
Lucien's guardian.
Yoko?
The Great Priest's daughter?
I can't believe you!
You're going to cry because of a little threat like that?
Yeah!
I was scared!
You're such a wuss!
You're a boy.
Don't you get pissed off when people mess with you?
Geez.
You're making a mess.
But that's a good thing when you think about it.
They're too strong.
Is this the end?
We're doomed.
I'm so scared!
Lucien…
I'm scared too.
Tia Noto Yoko.
Princess Sheila?
A long time ago,
your father told me a story.
There is a legendary wizard
who can destroy any opponent
sealed away somewhere in this land.
Is that true, Yoko?
Then this is the time to unleash that power.
Yoko!
-Yoko! -Yoko!
No! That is way too embarrassing!
I can't do it.
What?
"Embarrassing"?
I've found you, Sheila!
I'll kill you now!
I won't let you do that.
Osborn!
You promised
that you would spare us, right?
We were the ones who made arrangements
to aid your surprise attack.
Our ministers?
They sold us out!
We swear our undying allegiance to you!
Very well.
No way!
Giants!
What the hell?
Attack! Kill them all!
Yoko!
I'm scared!
A virgin maiden's kiss…
No!
Not in a million years!
We're not ready for that!
Yoko, look out!
Die!
Lucien,
you must be scared.
I'm scared too.
I mean, it's my first time.
But…
Accept.
In the name of the beloved goddess of beauty,
Ino Mata…
Let the seal…
depart.
Lucien?
What is that?
Princess Sheila.
What's happening?
What is this evil aura?
This will awaken the second identity
sealed within Lucien.
He is a reincarnation of an ancient wizard.
Dark Schneider.
I'm finally back!
Damn that Great Priest!
After I had reincarnated,
he tracked me down
and sealed me away inside a baby!
I'll kill him for that!
That goddamned geezer!
I don't know what kind of trick you just pulled,
but you die now!
Ogres!
Put a sock in it!
Damned!
Impossible!
The Damned spell
can only be used by a few powerful wizards!
Who is this man?
Are you…
really Lucien?
Yeah, that's right.
Yoko.
We grew up together, didn't we?
And you're the one who woke me up.
He can use not only Damned,
but ancient creation spells too?
Tell me,
are you no longer Lucien?
Did you go back to being that old evil wizard?
I'm the reincarnated ancient wizard,
Dark Schneider.
But I'm also your friend Lucien.
Dark Schneider?
The mastermind
behind the Golem War
that ravaged all of Metallion 15 years ago?
He fought against Prince Lars of the Five Knights
and used the dark art of reincarnation
to cheat death.
I've heard the rumors.
My brother lost his life in that battle.
Is this man
that legendary wizard?
Can you stand?
Hey!
You!
Won't you kill these guys already?
No.
What?
What did you say?
You know what?
Yoko always had my back,
and she set me free.
Okay!
I'll save you and only you.
The rest of you can die here.
After all, I don't owe you guys anything.
Lucien!
Come on!
Stop messing around!
Whoa!
You cold-blooded, petty monkey!
Is that the kind of person you are?
I'm ashamed of you. We're no longer friends!
You're nothing to me!
I won't stand up for you again.
We're through!
What's with that look?
Are you trying to go against me?
Okay, fine.
I owe you a lot, after all.
So fine.
I'll do it.
Oh, really?
That's the Lucien I know!
Good boy!
Do your best.
Good grief!
Will you stop talking already?
We're all waiting here!
You call yourself Dark Schneider?
You're not worthy to even speak his name,
you damn phony!
Times have changed.
We, the Dark Rebel Army, rule now.
Attack!
Skiss… suratt…
shumega… megadeath…
You idiot.
You're just a young punk. You don't look a day older than 100.
Don't mess with me!
Sodom!
Is this
the power of the legendary wizard?
Incredible!
Such terrible power!
You're the only one left.
I'll kill you!
The Dark Rebel Army
is on a mission
to destroy the Kingdom of Meta-llicana.
I, Osborn,
will use my strongest spell
that no one can withstand!
What?
Thunder?
It's concentrating on the castle.
Slayer, slayer!
Oh, lightning of Balmor's dark mists!
A lightning spell, huh?
Dumbass!
That won't work on me!
Die!
You twisted freak!
Balvolt!
You said it wouldn't work on you?
It worked just fine!
Lucien!
Oh, no!
Well?
How did you like my lightning?
Look at you! Burnt to a crisp!
How do you like it?
Well, what do you say?
Say something!
You're fried! You're charcoal!
That hurt.
No way! It can't be!
Lucien!
You bastard!
You dare put a scar
on my cute face?
I'll kill you!
Zaazard, zaazard…
Schrono…
Chronossk…
No, not that spell!
Hellfire burning in the pitch-black mist…
No, please!
Please, don't kill me!
I'll do anything!
Become my sword and destroy my enemy!
Venom!
Oh, god!
He did it!
He won!
Princess Sheila.
He did it!
Yes.
Such power.
This man…
is the ancient wizard.
Dark Schneider.
Thank you.
On behalf of my country,
I, Sheila Tuel Meta-llicana,
second princess of the Kingdom of Meta-llicana, thank you…
Hey!
How dare you ignore the princess when she's talking?
What?
Don't you have
something to say?
Oh, well,
thanks.
Is that it?
You know,
the bad guys are all gone.
Isn't it time for you to turn back into Lucien?
What?
Wait!
Hold up! Where are you going?
I've got things to do.
What things?
Okay.
I'll let you in on my plans.
First,
I'm getting my revenge
on your father for sealing me.
And then,
I'll start one hell of a war to conquer the world.
What do you think?
Makes you tingle with excitement, right?
What did you say?
If anyone opposes me, good or evil…
I'll kill them.
You're a demon…
But,
as promised,
I'll spare your life.
What's wrong with me?
Why
does he make my heart beat so fast?
Is this…
Could it be…
Stop!
This is magic!
You…
used a charm spell on me, didn't you?
How could you?
I never did that.
Lucien!
Do you love me?
I hate you.
All you do is boss me around.
What is this?
What?
No way!
What?
Yoko?
Could it be
that a virgin maiden's kiss activates the seal too?
What happened to the monsters?
Where did they go?
They disappeared somewhere.
Oh, I see.
Lucky us. Right, Yoko?
That's right.
Yoko, I'm hungry.
Let's go home then.
Yeah, let's go.
Tell me, Lucien.
Do you like me?
I sure do!
KINGDOM OF JUDAS CENTRAL METALLION CONTINENT
Urgent message! Osborn's forces
who had invaded Meta-llicana Castle, have been wiped out!
Are you sure that's true?
Yes, my lord.
And the magician who killed Osborn
used the Venom spell.
Impossible.
Venom died with Dark Schneider.
Fifteen years ago,
on that day.
