Night is almost over. The moon has disappear. The stars are fading. And the sky brighten. Deep inside the forest, a man walks through tree after tree. Clad in bright white armor, he keep on walking as though nothing can stop him. He has walked all night, ignoring the darkness that was surrounding him. On his right hand is a massive sword, fully composed from glowing white crystals. It shines brightly, cutting through the curtain of darkness.
Slowly but sure, the sun's ray spreading through the sky, chasing away the darkness. Finally, after a long walk through the forest, the man able to escape the forest. He stops for a second, letting the sun shine on his face and the wind blows his long blond hair and his long blue scarf. His armor is shining brightly under the sun as if its made of crystal. He looks up to the now bright sky. Ahead of him, he can see a dark cloud. An area covered in darkness as though untouched by the sun glorious rays.
Seeing this, the man frowns. He firmly holds his sword and hasten his pace. It must be there, he thinks. Whatever he's looking for, he is certain that the darkness ahead of him is a clue of it's location. He doesn't want to waste any time. "It is I who must end this." He keeps on walking toward the eerie darkness in front of him.
Soon, he found himself inside the darkness. It is dark as though it's night even with the sun just rising from the east. As he walks through the darkness, he can sees people laying down all over the place. They not just laying there, they are dead. Those bodies bear really deep and long cut on them. The cuts are big and grotesque. Those are not ordinary cuts. Something really horrible must be the one to cause it. The darkness and the piles of dead bodies are creating a really creepy atmosphere. One need great courage to be able to walk through all these horrors.
From somewhere in front of him, the man can hears a vague noise. Been on many battlefields, he quickly recognize the noise as the sound of metal meet metal. Clashing swords. Slashed armors. Screams of dying people. A battle has waged up there. He grips his crystals sword hardly and run toward the source of the sounds. "It is here," he say to himself, "And I'm the only one who can stops it." He runs as fast as he can. His armors rustling heavily as he run, making a lot of noise.
Finally, he can see it. In the middle of ruined Cathedral, surrounded by swirling darkness, an armored figure standing tall. It's azure armor glisten eerily. From the gap in it's horned helmet, one can see a red glowing eyes peeking from the darkness. One can't ignored its grotesque right arm. So big and horrid, its arm is not something that of a man. Its flesh covering all of its right arm and end up as three big claws. On its right hand, it holds a knight by his head with it's immense claws. The knight suspended in the air. Still. Lifeless. The armored figure crushes the knight's head and throw the body to the side. It then turns and shows an explicable hole with swirling black orb where its stomach should be. It's like the upper body is suspended by the black orbs.
When its glowing red eyes take a glimpse of the man with crystal sword, the armor being swing out a huge and creepy sword and let out a scary scream. Its sword is huge and reddish, as if it was soaked with blood for a long time. On the hand guard, one can see a huge eye-like ornament. Yet, upon further inspection, the eye is moving, looking around wildly, even blinks several times.
Looking at the grotesque Azure armor in front of him, the man murmurs, "Nightmare." He grasp tightly and and ready his crystal sword, the holy sword Soul Calibur. "This time, I will finish you. Forever!"
Upon seeing the holy sword, the eye on the Nightmare's sword wide-opens. It looks like the sword really irritated by the presence of the ever white Soul Calibur. Eager to beat the man down, Nightmare readied his weapon, the evil sword Soul Edge and whisper, "Sieg.... fried...." And it let out a high pitched eerie scream.
Seeing an opening, the white armored man, Siegfried, dash toward the Azure Knight, Nightmare, with Soul Calibur ready in his hand. Noticing this, Nightmare swiftly swing the gargantuan sword toward Siegfried. Siegfried acted quickly to this sudden attack and able to parry the Soul Edge out of the way. With both unable to use their weapon to attack quickly at this distance, Siegfried rushes and jumps toward Nightmare, charging it with his shoulder.
With the gap he has made and his stance is ready, he thrust Soul Calibur forward, aiming at Nightmare. Just managed to regain its balance, Nightmare is unable to use Soul Edge to block nor parry. Instead, it rise it grotesque right hand in the air and swing it down unto the incoming crystal sword, making it crush to the cobblestone below.
Before Siegfried able to recover, Nightmare rush forward and lunge toward Siegfried, kicking him with both of his feet. Siegfried knocked back and separated from the holy sword. Seeing its enemy unarmed, Nightmare quickly stands and slash Soul Edge vertically to the now downed Siegfried. He rolls to the side, barely able to dodge the humongous sword from slashing him.
Siegfried stands and rush toward the Soul Calibur. Behind him, Nightmare swinging Soul Edge, which still stuck on the ground, with both hand horizontally. The Soul Edge makes a huge swing arc and quickly getting near to Siegfried. Noticing his life in danger, Siegfried rolls forward, averting his fate of chopped into half.
The big swing has it disadvantage. Nightmare lose its balance after the swing, giving time for Siegfried to take back Soul Calibur. Doesn't want to waste anymore time, Siegfried rush forward with Soul Calibur on his hand, swinging it from the air as he getting near to Nightmare. Nightmare barely able to block it with his Soul Edge. The two legendary sword locked to each other. Siegfried's blue eyes meet with Nightmare's glowing red eyes. Siegfried eyes show despise and hatred toward the hideous being in front of him.
As the two nemesis struggle to bested each other, a black pillar of darkness struck down from the sky, shattering the earth. The shockwave pushing the two armored entity back and away from each other. Unhappy with this distraction, they look at the towering dark pillar which slowly fade away. In the source of the pillar standing a black skinned man with long silver hair. He's wearing black and white clothes unlike what Siegfried ever see.
"Ah," the mysterious man starts speaking, "Here at last." He turns and look into the two armored fighters. His eyes stop at the sight of Soul Edge. "That's what I'm looking for!"
Nightmare hold his Soul Edge tighter as he doesn't want to separated from the evil sword. Siegfried, whose objective is destroying Nightmare and Soul Edge for good, also unhappy with this. No one could handle the power of Soul Edge, he think. And so, he ready his Soul Calibur against the mysterious man.
Seeing the intense hostility against him, the mysterious man shrug his shoulder, "If you don't want to give it peacefully, you give me no other choice." He swings his hand and suddenly, out of nowhere, a black key-like weapon appears on his previously empty hand. He change his stand, preparing to attack the two sword wielding figures in front of him. "You should never mess with Xehanort!"
