Summary: While the Musashis met, evil has come to introduce the other...

CHAPTER 10: INTRODUCTION COMES FIRST. THE PAST BEHIND THEM.

Somewhere in an isolated area in Allucaneet Kingdom, a mysterious figure appeared. It is a man, around 30 years old. He has a black, messy, long hair. He wears a different-looking samurai costume.

I can't believe it... he thought, as he looked at his hands. He then clasped them tight as he said, "I'm alive!"

Then, another shadowy figure appeared behind him. "Hehehe... it does feel good to feel alive, no?" The man turned around to see a living thing that looks somewhat like person who is completely white, with a red gem on its forehead. He even has horns. Somehow, this man is not really a human.

"Who are you?" asks the man.

The white horned person replied, "I am the one who resurrected you. I heard all about you... Gandrake..."

The man is known as Gandrake. He asked, "How did you know my name? Who are you, really?" The person then said, "I am the Wizard of Darkness. Also known as Dark Lumina. I brought you back to life, because you and I have the same desire for revenge..."

"I see," replied Gandrake. "I have long to take that revenge from that... that..."

"... Musashi..." replied the Wizard.

"ARGH! Don't ever remind me of that... damned name!" says Gandrake. "But how do you know him?"

"Actually, my worst enemy happens to have the name of Musashi." replied the Wizard. "I guess that means that we have two Musashis to deal with..." says Gandrake.

"Hmmm... do you want me to revive all of your directors?" asks the Wizard.

Gandrake felt surprised when Dark Lumina asks that such an offer. "You'd do that? For me?" he asked. "Yes," the Wizard said. "At least I'm also planning to revive some people I know."

"But, after I revive everybody," the Wizard continued. "I must rest until my powers are back, since reviving will use up almost all of my powers."

"Alright," says Gandrake. "Just do what you can do."

The Wizard then went to the center of the area. He chants an unknown spell. Then, a huge circle appeared from the ground where he is standing. A bright light then appeared, covering the area. After awhile, the light stopped shining. Gandrake opened his eyes. He saw that the Wizardsucceeded in reviving. He saw some familiar figures he knew. The first was a fine dressed white-haired man holding a cane, who is around 25-years-old.

"Ah... it's been awhile... Rothschild..." says Gandrake.

The man known as Rothschild, felt awake, although his eyes are closed. He is around 25-years-old.

"...Huh?" he said.

"Glogg..." said Gandrake to a huge man, with a short red jacket and green pants. He is around 24-years-old.

"... Wha-?" he said, as he awakens.

"Malbec..." said Gandrake to a small boy with a flask jacket, holding a wrench. He is around 10-years-old.

"... Hunh?" he said.

"Riesling..." said Gandrake to a messy orange-haired man. He is around 25-years-old.

"... What the...?" he said.

"And finally, Shiraz," says Gandrake to a cat-like man with a long purple hair and a tail. He is around 27-years-old.

"... Gandrake!" he said.

Then, the five Directors shouted all together, "WE'RE ALIVE!"

"It feels so good to be alive again," said Rothschild. "But why? How are we alive?" asked Shiraz. "Thank the Wizard over there," said Gandrake, as he showed them Dark Lumina. "Really? Well, thank you, Mr. Wizard!" exclaimed Riesling. "By the way, who are those other persons over there?" asks Gandrake, as he went near to the other life-still persons. "I think I know these guys," said Dark Lumina. "I'll just wake them up anyway..." He then went near to a short, fat man who seems to be sleeping.

"Hey! Wake up, Fatso! I think I squashed like a bug years ago! And what's your name?" he said.

The man woke up and said, "Huh? Vat? Vat's going on?" He then looked at the Wizard and was shocked. "AAAHHH! Y-You! I thought you died!" The Wizard sweatdropped and said, "Shut up. Just tell me what the heck your name is." The man replied, "F-Flatski... Fuhrer Flatski."

"Ok, Flatski," said the Wizard. "Wake up the others." Flatski immediately obeyed. "Yes, sir!"

First he woke up a man, who seems to be wearing a gas mask. "Rootrick! Son! Get up! Ve're alive!"

"I'm alive!" asked Rootrick after he got up. "Yehaw! I'm alive!"

Then, Flatski woke up two girls, one with a blonde hair, while the other, a redhead.

"Ah, it's the two sisters," said Flatski. He first woke up the blonde, then the redhead. "Bubbles! Gingerelle! Vake up!" said Flatski.

"... Hunh?" said Bubbles. "We're alive! Hey, sis! We're alive!"

"I heard that, darling," said Gingerelle.

Flatski spotted another man. He seems familar to him. Very familiar.

Flatski gulped. "I hope that diz iz not the Thristquecher's Prince, Jon..." When he approached the man, the man was already awake. "Uh... you Jon... or Colonel Cappricola?" The man replied, "Uh? I'm Colonel Cappricola..."

Flatski was relieved to hear that. "Finally! The real Colonel Cappricola!"

Cappricola spotted two more men. "I think I'll wake them up..." He first woke up a short man. "Ed! Get up!" says Cappricola.

"Wha?" says Ed as he awakens. "R-R-Really! I'm a-a-a-alive!" Still the same as before, thought Cappricola. Ed then woke up a big man.

"Ben! W-Wake up! W-W-We're alive!" exclaimed Ed.

"Duh," said Ben. "I'm alive! I'M ALIVE! But, where's our boss?"

"You mean this lady over here?" asked Riesling. He was near a lady with mouse ears. Hey! She's cute! he thought.

The lady with mouse ears then woke up. "Unh... what a long nap... wait a sec," she said. "I think I'm alive!" She then spotted Riesling. "Oh," she said. "Who are you? I'm Topo." Riesling blushed and said, "H-Hi, Topo! I'm Riesling! One of the, uh, coolest director of all, uh, Gandrake's directors!"

"Hmph!" says Glogg. "Yeah right!"

"At least I'm not the only one who has a tail," says Shiraz, as he wagged his tail.

"Now, now, men," called Gandrake. "We should introduced ourselves to each other,"

"So we can work together perfectly..." says the Wizard of Darkness.

Meanwhile, in the Allucaneet Castle, the group returned safe and sound. The King and Queen are happy to see them, but also surprised to see that they have someone else with them.

"Fillet?" asks King Richard. "Who are these people?"

"Dad, these are people from another world," says Princess Fillet.

"Really?" asked Queen Julianna. She then asks Mycella. "Who are you, young lady?"

"I am Princess Mycella of the Land of Mystics," says Mycella, as she bowed down in a lady way.

"Land of Mystics?" asks King Richard. "Never heard of that..."

"And I'm Musashi," said (Samurai Legend) Musashi. The King and Queen are surprised. "What?" says the King. "Your name is also Musashi?"

"It looks like we haveth two Musashis now," says Steward Ribson.

"Well, if you don't wanna be confused, you can call me Samurai Legend Musashi," says the brown-haired Musashi. "And you can call me Brave Fencer Musashi," says the blue-haired Musashi. "Just remember which Musashi you are talking to..."

"And you are?" asks the Queen to Harukaze.

"I'm Harukaze. I live behind the castle with my Minku pet, Your Highness," says Harukaze. ("That's right!") says Minka (the Minku). "She's a shaman, Mom," says Fillet. "Oh, I see," says the Queen. "It looks like you're friends now, aren't you?"

The group exchanged looks. "Well, kinda," says (Brave Fencer) Musashi. "Let's just say we really need to team up," says (Samurai Legend) Musashi.

"Why? Did something happen?" asks the King.

"Yes," says (Brave Fencer) Musashi. "And I happen to know the answer."

"Really? What is it?" asks King Richard.

"Well, when we (Kojiro, Princess Fillet, and I) entered Spiral Tower, we encountered the Dragon of Luminescence. He told us that the Wizard of Darkness has escaped. Now, he's with this Musashi's enemy. The Dragon wanted the two of us to team up, because they already team up..."

The King and Queen are surprised to hear the explanation. Now, everyone knows that the evil is back again to take over the world once more...

"Well, if you don't mind, maybe Princess Mycella and I should try to look around for awhile," says (Samurai Legend) Musashi. "Sure," says Princess Fillet. "No problem." Then Harukaze asked, "Can I look around too? I've never been in a castle before..." Then, Kojiro grinned, and said, "I think I'll go with Harukaze to show her around."

"Moron," says (Brave Fencer) Musashi. "You haven't even been inside this castle!" Kojiro sweatdropped. "Oh yeah," he said. "You're right..."

"Then I guess Musashi and I will show you around," says Princess Fillet.

Meanwhile, back in Dark Lumina and Gandrake, it seems that everyone is agreeing towards each other.

"So... Musashi's back, huh?" asks Colonel Cappricola said.

"That's because that damn Dragon of Luminescence tried to summon back the two Musashis," said the Wizard. "Who the hell is the Dragon?" asked Gandrake.

"Well," the Wizard began. "When I finally escaped from the Lumina, that idiot Dragon came out of nowhere to stop me! But I don't want to give up, so I escaped from him as fast as I can. Now, he summoned two Musashis to stop us! DAMN HIM!"

"Well," says Gandrake. "At least they don't even know where we are now..."

"Hmmm... why don't we pay a little visit to them?" says the Wizard.

The othersare surprised to hear that.

"Are you crazy!" asks Colonel Cappricola. "They're gonna kill us!"

"He's right, you know," says Rothschild.

"No. Not me or Gandrake," says the Wizard. "I'll tell you when the time has come... soon..."

Nighttime. Samurai Legend Musashi stands alone in the terrace. He stared up in the sky, as if he is thinking about something. Then, Brave Fencer Musashi entered the terrace.

"Aren't you sleeping?" (Brave Fencer) Musashi asked.

(Samurai Legend) Musashi just shook his head. "Naw," he said. Then (Brave Fencer) Musashi asked, "You thinking about something?"

"I guess..." says (Samurai Legend) Musashi. "What is it?" asked (Brave Fencer) Musashi.

"I... I was just thinking... do you think our destinies seem to be... intertwined?"

They both fell silent.

Then, (Brave Fencer) Musashi looked up at the sky and said, "Maybe. Maybe not. All I know is... we are not the same, just similar." (Samurai Legend) Musashi then said, "I see what you mean..."

(Brave Fencer) Musashi then asks, "What is your surname?" Samurai Legend Musashi answered, "... Minamoto." (Brave Fencer) Musashi then said, "Well mine is Benosuke." Then, (Samurai Legend) Musashi realized something.

"Hey, haven't you noticed something?" he asks. "What is it?" replied (Brave Fencer) Musashi.

"Our surname's seems to be connected to the REAL Musashi..."

"You mean Musashi Miyamoto? Yeah, my parents called me that, because they believe that I'll a great samurai like him..."

"Me too..."

They both fell silent. "Are... your parents... dead?" asks (Samurai Legend) Musashi.

"... Yeah..." (Brave Fencer) Musashi. (Flashback) "When I was still young, we lived in a peaceful life, until a mob of assassins came to the village. They were obviously trying to destroy the village or simply exterminating the villagers. My father was one of the samurais to protect the village. My mother hid with me, until one of the assassins found us. They took my mother, declaring her that my father died. The others try to hold me back, while one of them drew his katana. Then, he pierced his katana through her heart. I happen to witnessed it... It was terrible..."

"Then, what happened?" asks (Samurai Legend) Musashi.

"I felt like my world was breaking apart, after hearing my father died, and seeing my mother die in front of me, I felt anger running through my body, and at the same time, I felt great strength. I then tossed one of the assassins and took a stick. They mocked me that I can't fight like a real samurai. Then, one of them went towards me to slice me up. I then countered attacked and hit him hard continuously, until he died. The others then began to run away. (End of flashback)

"I've been alone since then, until a doncho took care of me and trained me as a fencer..."

"... And that's where you met Kojiro, correct?" asks (Samurai Legend) Musashi.

"Yeah," replied (Brave Fencer) Musashi. "How 'bout you? Did you know your parents?"

(Samurai Legend) Musashi fell silent for awhile. Then, he said, "...Not really... All I know is I've been raised in a fencing school. Some say my parents left me; some say they died in some kind of accident...whatever it is, I never really knew who my parents really are..."

Flashback. A small baby boy, wrapped up in a cloth, rests near a fencing school stairway. The door opened, and a man came out. As he saw the baby, he said, "What the? A baby? Who left this baby?" As he picked up the baby, he noticed something in the baby's cloth. A note.

"Nani kore (What is this)?" he said, as he unfolded the note. The note reads:

'To anyone who lives in this fencing school, please raise this child. Please help him grow into a strong samurai. When he is strong enough, he may live alone, if he wishes to.

P.S.: His name is Musashi Minamoto'

End of flashback. "It looks like we're orphans, huh?" asks (Brave Fencer) Musashi. "I guess we are..." said (Samurai Legend) Musashi. They fell silent for a while. Then, (Samurai Legend) Musashi said, "You know what? We should REALLY stick together."

"You think so?" asks (Brave Fencer) Musashi.

"Of course. I mean, our arch-nemesis ARE sticking together too!" says (Samurai Legend) Musashi. "If they work together, that means we should too!"

(Brave Fencer) Musashi thought for awhile, and said, "Yeah, I think we should. Besides, I think destiny is in our hands..." (Samurai Legend) Musashigrinned, and said, "Well then, friends?"

"Best friends," said (Brave Fencer) Musashi, as they gripped their hands as sign of their new friendship.

Their adventure together will surely be a whole new one.
