| == Dialogue ==
| |
| | |
| === [[Dark Waves, Black Ships]] ===
| |
| Yasuke travels to the [[Trading Port]] in [[Obama]].
| |
| | |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''The port of Obama. There might be clues about Duarte here. I will hunt you down and remove your head from your shoulders, bastard.''
| |
| | |
| In one of the buildings, Yasuke found a note on a table.{{IUNote|Title=Signal Instructions|Text=[[Samemaru]],<br>Get your men to light the 3 signals around Obama's port and we will come ashore by the beach.<br>Do not light them unless you're ready, you know the consequences.<br>I am growing tired of waiting, so I expect them to be lit soon.}}
| |
| | |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''Signals... The ships will look for a signal. I will look around.''
| |
| | |
| Yasuke traveled to the nearby warhouses and eavesdropped on an elderly man talking to a woman.
| |
| | |
| * '''Elderly Man:''' ''They cannot take me. I am old, withered. I cannot work. Starving is better than living by their rules. I am too old, too weak. it is the young ones who must worry, not me. Not me.''
| |
| | |
| Yasuke found one of the signal fire nearby.
| |
| | |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''This must be one of the signals.''
| |
| | |
| Yasuke lit the fire and went to light next the one, located on an islet in the middle of the port.
| |
| | |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''One more to light. Then Duarte de Melo is mine.''
| |
| | |
| Yasuke traveled to the last signal fire located the edge of a cliff in the outskirts of the city and lit it up.
| |
| | |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''That was the last one. Now I find somewhere to wait.''
| |
| | |
| Yasuke traveled to the small island north of the bay to wait. After some time, he spotted the arrival of [[Portuguese Empire|Portuguese]] boats at the meeting point.
| |
| | |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''They come. I have you now, Duarte.''
| |
| | |
| === [[My Name is Yasuke]] ===
| |
| Yasuke got down from his vantage point and approached the [[Portuguese Empire|Portuguese]] envoy on the beach.
| |
| | |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''That coward is not here. I must find his ship.''
| |
| | |
| Yasuke sneaked into the bushes and eavesdropped on two Portuguese [[Soldier|soldiers]].
| |
| | |
| * '''Portuguese Shooter 1:''' ''Look, look! Captain is on the shore, probably talking about the missing shipments.''
| |
| * '''Portuguese Shooter 2:''' ''Some idiota lit the signals! Hah!''
| |
| * '''Portuguese Shooter 1:''' ''Bet the captain will have to report back to Senhor Duarte now.''
| |
| | |
| Yasuke attacked the Portuguese soldiers.
| |
| | |
| * '''Portuguese Swordsman:''' ''Intruder! Kill them before senhor finds out!''
| |
| | |
| The [[samurai]] eliminated the soldiers and looted a letter from one of the bodies detailing Duarte's orders.
| |
| | |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''Duarte's ship... there is a boatman who can take me to him.''
| |
| | |
| Yasuke went down the road and found the boatman along with two Portuguese guards.
| |
| | |
| * '''Portuguese Shooter 3:''' ''What? Senhor Duarte is not here?''
| |
| * '''Portuguese Shooter 4:''' ''Idiota! Do you think he would risk coming so close to shore? You know what happens on his ship, eh? He did this when we moored in the islands to the south. Senhor is a careful man. Cruel, but careful.''
| |
| | |
| Yasuke eliminated the two guards, sparing the boatman.
| |
| | |
| * '''Man:''' ''Please don't hurt me! Mercy! I have a family to feed!''
| |
| | |
| Yasuke confronted him.
| |
| | |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''You! Where is Duarte de Melo? Tell me!''
| |
| * '''Man:''' ''(gasps) Who are you?''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''A monster he helped make.'' ''Duarte. Now.''
| |
| | |
| The boatman was forced to take Yasuke to Duarte's ship out in the sea. Onboard, Duarte is torturing one of the [[Slavery|slaves]] who was bounded up.
| |
| | |
| * '''Duarte de Melo:''' ''What did I say about crying?''
| |
| | |
| Duarte placed his knife near the slave's neck.
| |
| | |
| * '''Duarte de Melo:''' ''I hate crying.''
| |
| | |
| The slaver proceeded to slash the slave's neck, killing him. Yasuke arrived too late to stop him.
| |
| | |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''Stop!''
| |
| | |
| Duarte stood up and turned around to find Yasuke behind him.
| |
| | |
| * '''Duarte de Melo:''' ''You interrupted play time.''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''You remember me.''
| |
| * '''Duarte de Melo:''' ''I remember your face. I never forget a face... and all the things one can do to it..''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''Where is [[Nuno Caro]]?''
| |
| * '''Duarte de Melo:''' ''Even you can make allies, it seems. I received word about my ventures. Foiled by a [[shinobi]]. To think they would ally themselves with one of your kind.''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''You will speak no more. Not of me, not of my allies.''
| |
| * '''Duarte de Melo:''' ''Have you come to kill me?''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''You remember my face, but today you will remember my name.''
| |
| | |
| Yasuke drew his [[katana]].
| |
| | |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''I will make you feel the pain of those you have touched. (roars)''
| |
| | |
| Yasuke begins his fight against Duarte, who wielded a pistol in one hand and a [[sword]] in another.
| |
| | |
| * '''Duarte de Melo:''' ''(grunts) You're trying to kill me? (grunts)'' ''(grunts) Curse the idiota who put that weapon in your hands!''
| |
| | |
| Yasuke dealt heavy blows on Duarte.
| |
| | |
| * '''Duarte de Melo:''' ''(grunts) Such fire, (grunts) such anger! (laughs)''
| |
| | |
| Ultimately, Yasuke overpowered Duarte, pinning him against the railing and holding his sword by his neck.
| |
| | |
| * '''Duarte de Melo:''' ''(grunts) How does it feel?''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''Shut your damned mouth.''
| |
| * '''Duarte de Melo:''' ''Revenge is dull. Just like death.''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''Where is your master? Where is Nuno Caro?''
| |
| * '''Duarte de Melo:''' ''Who wants to know?''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''Where. Is. Nuno. Caro.''
| |
| * '''Duarte de Melo:''' ''You are no one. A sad, nameless nothing who thinks they stand for something.''
| |
| | |
| An angered Yasuke took his hands off Duarte and turned around.
| |
| | |
| * '''Duarte de Melo:''' ''You are simple, boring, predictable, dull. Just. Like. Her. (laughs)''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''(breathes)''
| |
| | |
| Duarte's words sparked a memory in Yasuke's mind, reminding him of his past.
| |
| | |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''(breathes)''
| |
| * '''Duarte de Melo:''' ''Filfth like you does not deserve a name. (spits)''
| |
| | |
| Duarte secretly took out a knife from his pocket.
| |
| | |
| * '''Duarte de Melo:''' ''(laughs)''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''My name is Yasuke. (grunts)''
| |
| | |
| Before Duarte could strike, Yasuke took his sword and swung it towards Duarte's neck, killing him.
| |
| | |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''(spits)''
| |
| | |
| On his body, Duarte looted a note and promptly departed, with the boatman from earlier taking him back to the port of Obama.
| |
| | |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''Go. There is nothing left for you here.''
| |
| | |
| As the boatman left, Yasuke inspected the note engraved with a symbol on it.
| |
| | |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''A symbol. [[Templars]]... what is that? I cannot make sense of this. But I know [[Luís Fróis|who]] can help.''
| |
| | |
| === [[The Path He Walks]] ===
| |
| Yasuke arrived at the [[Jesuit Residences]] in [[Kyoto]], where he met his former associate Luís Fróis at the pond.
| |
| | |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''Do my eyes deceive me? Diogo, is that you, my friend?''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''(laughs) I am called Yasuke now, Luis.''
| |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''(laughs) Right! It will take some time for me to get used to that.''
| |
| | |
| Frois approached Yasuke.
| |
| | |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''Time has robbed us of each other, my friend. I had hoped dearly that we would meet again.''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''I feel the same.''
| |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''We did not talk much when we last met. Circumstances were difficult, so to speak. But look at you now - [[samurai]] in your own right! To think this is your reality.''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''Hm. Much has happened since.''
| |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''I will not tell you lies. Things have been trying since Lord [[Oda Nobunaga|Nobunaga]]'s death.'' ''The realm is unbalanced, and no one knows from which direction the next army will come. But I have been keeping above ground.'' ''Oh! I have also been hearing rumor of an interesting duo, a [[shinobi]] and a samurai, causing no small chaos in this land.''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''(laughs) After Lord Nobunaga's death, I have been running with a [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|band]] of... allies, you could say. We are a varied mix, but we share ideals.''
| |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''It is tragic [[Honnō-ji incident|how]] he left us. (sighs) To put your trust in the [[Akechi Mitsuhide|wrong hands]]...''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''I will forever be indebted to Lord Nobunaga, he who honored me. At the very least, he found death the way he wanted to.''
| |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''As much as we wish to be the masters of our fate, [[Jesus of Nazareth|Christ]] has his own grand designs.''
| |
| | |
| Yasuke followed Frois to a tree by the pond.
| |
| | |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''Why have you come to me? I take your return to [[Kyoto]] as no coincidence.''
| |
| | |
| Yasuke took out the letter he recovered from [[Duarte de Melo]] and handed it over to Frois to read.
| |
| | |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''I found a letter. I cannot fully understand it, so I was hoping you could tell me.''
| |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''It is an oath to the [[Templar Order]].''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''You know them.''
| |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''Sim. I have heard of them when I was in [[Italy]]. The [[Rodrigo Borgia|Pope]] and [[House of Borgia|three]] [[House of Pazzi|great]] [[House of Barbarigo|houses]] were involved. The House of Borgia was one of them, a prominent noble family. They caused a lot of turmoil in [[Rome]]. Their thirst for power nearly ruined the city. I was there before I worked with [[Alessandro Valignano|Valignano]].''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''What happened to them?''
| |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''Eradicated, mysteriously. They say a [[Italian Brotherhood of Assassins|secret organization]] put an end to their conspiracies, but not much is known.'' ''This letter is addressed to Duarte de Melo. Does this name mean anything to you?''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''He was a [[Slavery|slaver]]. Someone who did not deserve the mercy of death.''
| |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''What happened to him?''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''I ended his life.''
| |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''Was he someone you knew?''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''He was someone from my past. Another demon.''
| |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''It says here that someone called [[Kimura Kei]] is training a group of secret warriors at a school in [[Kii]]. They will serve someone called... [[Nuno Caro]].''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''Caro.''
| |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''You know this name?''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''I worked for him. Before you and I met.''
| |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''Ah, I remember when we pulled you out! That piece of wood you were drifting on was at the end of its life.''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''It is good that you found me Luis. Let us leave it at that.''
| |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''Even more fortunate for us. You were a great asset to Valignano.'' ''You've never painted a clear picture of how you were left floating in the open sea as you were.''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''I was on a ship with a few others. It was destroyed.''
| |
| * '''Luis Frois:''' ''Well, safe to surmise that this Duarte de Melo, and Nuno Caro, are part of the Templar Order.''
| |
| * '''Yasuke:''' ''Hm. Then I must find this Kimura Kei.''
