Soul Calibur II: The Seven Evils
There echo a legend of a great battle between two swords. Soul Edge, a blade that was believed to be the greatest weapon know to man and Soul Calibur, a blade that was said to rival that of Soul Edge. The truth was that Soul Edge was a sword made for destruction and to spread evil and pain. Soul Calibur was made to defeat Soul Edge's evil rein. The legend written, said that the mighty Soul Edge was defeated and shattered into seven pieces, all its power lost and it's evil broken forever.
But. what if Soul Edge wasn't destroyed?
After Soul Edge was shattered, its pieces flew across the world and sealed Soul Calibur away. With Soul Calibur out of the way, the shards of Soul Edge lied and waited, gaining the evil that was lost back.
Driving the evil back into the hearts of men, Soul Edge is calling to be rejoined.
*****
To the north of Egypt, a clan called 'Tiger fang' which consist of a few people has set up a settlement, on the very belief that Soul Edge was never really destroyed, that it was ready to be awaken. The clan consisted of five families each with six people within the families. Ti, the leader of Tiger Fang, had fallen ill in his old age but in a most odd way. All cures and ancient medicine failed to heal his illness and no one understood why he was sick. His two sons Riyougi and Ryoun never left their fathers side, even when his mother and father told them to help the others, they wouldn't listen.
Ti knew that his life was short and that some dark power was responsible for his illness. He knew very well what the source was, but he also knew that he was in no condition to stop it, but he wasn't going to send his sons to do it either; they weren't ready. With what time he had left, Ti had no choice but to tell them the secret that he based the clan on, the secret that was going to take his life and the world's.

"Riyougi! Ryoun! Get in here" Ti called out, lifting his head and upper back from the bed. The tent doors flapped opened and Riyougi and Ryoun entered, seating next to their ill father. "My sons"
"Yes father?" the boys asked. Ti rolled onto his side to get a better look at his two sons. Riyougi sat taller then Ryoun, being the oldest and all. Riyougi was next in line to take over the clan when his father passed away. Ryoun was the youngest; he was always mucking around and had a lot to learn.
"Riyougi, my oldest son. Ryoun, my youth. Before I die."
"You won't die father!" Ryoun interrupted, his eye filling with tears. Ti smiled and patted his younger son on the head.
"You keep thinking that young one" Ti exclaimed, removing his old hands. "But I've called you both here for a very important reason. As you know my life is almost up, and there are many things I need you to know" Ti paused and started to cough heavily.
Ryoun reached for his father back, and patted it with his small hands to help his father. Riyougi just sat back and watched, not moving or giving aid. Riyougi just sighed and closed his eyes.
"There father, feeling better?" Ryoun asked, sitting next to his older brother. Ti nodded and sat up right.
"Are you sure your meant to sit up father?" Riyougi asked, opening his eyes. "Mother told you to rest"
"I'm fine, really I am" Ti smiled, through his small beard. "Now then, sons, do you remember that tomb we found just west of here?" The boys nodded their heads. "Good! Remember what I said about it?"
"You said something about a battle of swords." Ryoun answered, raising his hand up.
"Soul Calibur and Soul Edge" Riyougi finished off. Ti's smile grew.
"Very Good, but." Ti began to say, pausing and losing his smile. "The legend that was told to you about the battle and how it was finished, was not true"
"What?!" Riyougi shouted standing up as he did.
"Big brother! Sit down!" Ryoun ordered, at his brother's sudden stands.
"No Ryoun, its alright. Riyougi has no fault in his action, for what I am about to tell is most unpleasing" Ti explained, setting his back against the tents wall.
Riyougi and Ryoun closed off the tent and lit the candles around their father. The tent was filled with the bright lights and with shadows that the light caused. Ti's faces, just likes his sons were half lit with light and the other half with shadow.
"Now then" Ti began to speak, clearing his throat. "This is the legend told the way it is meant to be, the truth behind the battle.
There echo a legend of a great battle between two swords. Soul Edge, a
blade that was believed to be the greatest weapon know to man and Soul
Calibur, a blade that was said to rival that of Soul Edge. The truth was that Soul Edge was a sword made for destruction and to spread
evil and pain. Soul Calibur was made to defeat Soul Edge's evil rein.
The legend written, said that the mighty Soul Edge was defeated and
shattered into seven pieces, all its power lost and it's evil broken
forever.
But. what if Soul Edge wasn't destroyed?
After Soul Edge was shattered, its pieces flew across the world and sealed
Soul Calibur away. With Soul Calibur out of the way, the shards of Soul
Edge lied and waited, gaining the evil that was lost back.

rejoined.
Riyougi was lending back, resting on his arms behind his back and his legs outstretched. Ryoun was lying on his belly, while holding his head up with his hands. Both were deeply drawn into the story, understanding the bitter truth.
"So Soul Edge is alive?" Ryoun asked.
"It wasn't destroyed, but shattered?" Riyougi asked, after his younger brother.
"Yes exactly, I built this clan on that very belief. And now you know, but there is something that I haven't even told the others, even your mother doesn't know"
Ryoun and Riyougi sat upright and drew in closer.
"Soul Edge is the one who is causing this death on me"
"But why?" Ryoun asked, moving in a lot closer. Ti was silent and peered at Riyougi. Riyougi had harsh brown eyes that were unnatural in his father's line. Ryoun had much softer eyes, more like his fathers.
"I have one of Soul Edge's shards" Ti explained. Riyougi eyes shot opened, just like Ti knew they would. Even Ryoun eyes opened. "I am not meant to have this piece, the shards choses the person it wants to carry it, and if someone has it that it doesn't want, then that person is doomed"
"Where is it?" Riyougi asked sounding a bit interested. Ti narrowed his eyes to his older son.
"It's in the tomb, on the alter. But I warn you, being faint of heart will only cause you more pain!" Ti warned his sons, but mostly Riyougi.
"What must we do father?" Ryoun asked.
"You must gather the other pieces, bring them together and fully destroy Soul Edge! Only then can I and the world be saved!" Ti explained.
"But how? Soul Calibur couldn't even do it"
"The person that holds Soul Calibur must be rid of all his evils, if any one bit of evil is there, Soul Calibur can't be purified and Soul Edge would just shattered again!"
"That's not going to be easy!" Riyougi stated, standing up and opening the tents doors. "A person that has no evil? Where will we find such a person?" Ti shrugged his shoulders.
"That is up to you"
