(Intro)
(Tira is seen standing in the Coyote power plant with the rest of the team, listening to Cortex. She holds an unamused and uninterested look in her eyes, but continues to listen. Comparing sizes, the only ones Tira is taller than are Cortex and Yoyo.)
"I didn't know why I was brought to this stupid place in the middle of nowhere, and with a bunch of other worthless people. These people weren't even worthy enough to be the next host for Soul Edge. Gah. Just being here was wasting my time. I looked at the short one, whom seemed to be the one responsible. He asked us to give him a chance to explain himself."
(Cortex continues talking for a bit. Tira pauses in thought for a second, pondering what to do. Finally, she looks at Cortex and nods. Cortex laughs evilly and rubs his hands together, earning a strange glare from Tira.)
"The little twerp needed help eliminating some people called the Vigilantes that were throwing some severe bumps in his plan to take over the world. Now, at first, I wasn't too keen on helping this guy out. After all, I DID have more important things I needed to get done, such as search for a good host for Soul Edge. Suddenly, it hit me. What if one of these Vigilantes could make a host for Soul Edge. Delighted with the possibility, I agreed to help Cortex for now."
(Cortex smirks and jerks his thumb over his shoulder. Tira looks over and sees the Tsunami parked nearby. Tira smirks in anticipation as she gets behind the wheel in curiosity.)
"I needed one of these 'vehicles' to drive in order to battle the Vigilantes, and Cortex gave me one called the Tsunami. This car was small, but quick, unpredictable, and extremely deadly. Heh. Just like me. Those Vigilantes had better prepare, because their worst nightmare is coming in for the kill! I'll have a new host for Soul Edge in no time! I can hardly wait!"
(The Tsunami flies out of the open doorway of the power plant and takes off down the desert road.)
(Level 1)
(Tira is seen perched on top of an old, drive-in theatre screen like a crow and is scanning the area with a pair of binoculars. After a few seconds, she pulls the device away from her eyes and sighs in frustration.)
"My first mission was a simple pick-up mission. I was to g to this old theatre and await the person with the goods to show up. However, I wasn't stupid. I knew that the Vigilantes were probably hot on our tails already and I had to be ready for anything. That and the stupid guy was taking forever to deliver whatever it was he needed to deliver."
(Tira continues looking until she shots the Samson Tow Truck driving into view. Tira smirks as she jumps off the theatre screen and lands gracefully on the roof of the parked Tsunami.)
"Just as I suspected, a Vigilante showed up. This one didn't look all that strong, and thus wouldn't make a good host for Soul Edge. While it was a slight let-down that I hadn't found what I was looking for just yet, it just meant that I'd have to keep searching after dealing with this minor obstacle in my path."
(Jumping into the Tsunami, Tira starts it and drives into battle.)
(Tira goes into battle against Haruka Hikari and wins.)
(Level 2)
(The Tsunami is seen driving onto a mountain range with an abandoned oil mill. Tira looks around as she drives past the old machines, but sees nothing of importance. Again, she sighs in frustration.)
"Cortex explained that there were some rare materials on this snowy mountain range, but when I got there, I have to say that I couldn't find what he was looking for. That shrimp must be crazy, because there weren't any special materials around here. Just a bunch of old, run–down machines that probably didn't even work anymore. I was extremely tempted to turn around and drive away when something caught my eye ."
(Seeing something out of the corner of her eye, Tira looks and sees the Livingston Truck driving towards her. Tira smirks in anticipation, but her evil grin quickly fades and scowls again.)
"Drat. Another Vigilante came to stop me…Wait. This one looked immensely strong. I could feel it. Maybe this one would make a good host for Soul Edge! My face drooped in realization when I saw that this Vigilante was an abominable snowman. Soul Edge definitely wouldn't want to have a monster as a host. So, although in disappointment, I trekked on into battle, knowing I had to take this thing out to continue."
(Tira sighs and drives into battle, straight towards the Livingston Truck.)
(Tira goes into battle with Yeto and wins.)
(Level 3)
(The Tsunami is seen parked outside of an old, abandoned mansion. Tira is then seen walking out of the mansion with a briefcase. Tira walks towards her car and loads the briefcase into it.)
"I never thought I'd be thankful for the freak in the bus and the wimp in the hatchback. Those two were off distracting several Vigilantes, and that allowed me to go on to this marsh and collect some goods that were located in this old mansion. I quickly went there and got what I was sent to get. I hate to admit, but hiding goods in a mansion no one went to anymore was a clever idea on Cortex's part. Now all I needed to do was get back to the power plant and give this stuff to Cortex."
(As Tira is about to climb into the Tsunami again, she hears some engines revving up. Turning her head, she sees the Thunderbolt and the Xandu RV driving onto the scene. Neither of the Vigilantes look too thrilled to see Tira.)
"Great. A couple of Vigilantes got through Yoyo and Demyx. I was tempted to use one of them as a host for Soul Edge, but decided against it. The one in the RV was no good at all and the one in the black car didn't look very strong either. So, I had no choice but to wipe these two out and get them out of the way."
(Getting into the Tsunami, Tira starts it and drives into battle to take the Vigilantes on.)
"I was getting restless in my search for a good host for Soul Edge. None of these Vigilantes looked good enough to be hosts, and they were attacking me with everything they had. These people were becoming a waste of my time, but I had no choice but to go along with it, because I wouldn't accomplish my goal in just sitting around doing nothing. I had to make sure that I defeated these two."
(Tira goes into battle against Luigi Mario and Skidd McMarxx and wins.)
(Level 4)
(The Tsunami is seen driving around a rocket on an island. Tira looks over the rocket several times each time she circles it, as if trying to think of a way to destroy it.)
"I couldn't believe how hard this was going for me. At first, I was thinking it would be much easier to locate a decent host for Soul Edge than it was back in my world, but it was actually turning out harder. Not one person I had come across in this world was worthy enough for Soul Edge. I was serving Soul Edge for as long as I could remember and I was determined to find a host, no matter what the cost."
(Just before Tira can open fire on the rocket, the Moon Trekker and Grubb Dual Loader drive into view. Tira jumps in surprise and veers away from the rocket.)
"Cortex told me that if we took out this before it launched, it would show the Vigilantes that we meant business. However, before I could do anything, these two random drivers pulled up and stopped my attack. And the worst part was that they were both fools. Neither of them were even close to being good hosts for Soul Edge. How much longer am I supposed to put up with all of this?!"
(Spinning the Tsunami around, Tira drives straight into battle, watching the Rabbid scream underneath the dome on the Moon Trekker.)
"These two fools were definitely not Vigilantes, because not even they looked this stupid. Even still, they were intent on taking me out and getting me off this island. I was probably intruding on their property, but I didn't really care. These guys weren't going to give me any problem, because if I could take on two Vigilantes at once, I could definitely take on two loners."
(Tira goes into battle against the Rabbid and Hoagie and wins.)
(Level 5)
(Driving onto another snowy mountain, the Tsunami passes by a ski lodge and several skiers. Tira sighs as she rives past the people and stops her car. She pulls out another pair of binoculars and starts scanning the hill.)
"Cortex said that there were a couple more Vigilantes hanging around on this ski hill. While I figured that neither of them would serve as good hosts for Soul Edge, I went up into the mountains to take them out. I quickly saw all of the people around when I got there and just couldn't believe it. All of these people hanging around a ski hill and NONE of them were worthy enough for Soul Edge. It was almost enough to make me scream."
(A loud explosion is heard off to the side. Tira looks over and sees the Wonderwagon and the Dakota Stunt Cycle fleeing from the Goliath Halftrack, which is preparing another explosion of fire.)
"I didn't get the chance to scream. The two Vigilantes burst onto the scene, but they seemed to be dealing with someone else already. Hmm…That guy's pretty strong. It's too bad that he's not human, because the Soul Edge would prefer nothing but a human for a host. Great. The one time I come upon someone with strength and he's not eligible for being a host. This only meant that I had to take him out as well."
(The Dakota Stunt Cycle drives close to the Tsunami, making Dingodile spot Tira as well. The Goliath Halftrack drives straight towards the Tsunami, but Tira quickly drives out of the way.)
"One of the Vigilantes got too close to me and the strong one in the truck decided to attack me as well. Too bad. I was hoping to dive in for the kill while the survivors were weak, but that wasn't the case. This was going to become my hardest mission yet, but I wasn't about to back out now."
(Tira goes into battle against Kathy, Blue Monkey and Dingodile and wins.)
(Level 6)
(Tira is seen standing outside of the Tsunami, which is parked on a bridge suspended over the docks below. Tira looks down at the small buildings just off to the side of the docks and smirks as she climbs into the Tsunami again.)
"The battle was almost complete and Cortex was nearly done with his machine. I only had to do one more mission to send the Vigilantes packing for good, and it was more the less a destruction run. I needed to go to the docks where the Vigilantes were storing their supplies. They would be powerless without their supplies, so the destruction of those buildings off the side of the dock would be the final nail that would help us win the war."
(Tira drives the Tsunami down towards the docks, but before she can get to the supply buildings, the Samson Tow Truck, the Xandu RV and the Wonderwagon drive into view and block her path. Tira growls in annoyance as she looks around for a way out. Suddenly, a ball of energy slams into the side of the Tsunami. Tira looks to her left.)
"Won't these Vigilantes ever leave me alone?! I've already determined that they're all unworthy for Soul Edge! They should have backed off after I beat them the first time! Now they were blocking me from my goals, and trust me, I didn't like it in the slightest. However, before I could rush in to finish the job, something struck the side of my car. Who was the dead guy that thought doing that would be a good idea?!"
(Carmelita Fox is seen nearby, standing outside of the Vertigo. She holds a smoking stun gun in one hand and is flashing her police badge with the other. Carmelita quickly gets back into her car and starts it.)
"I turned and saw the culprit. It was some fox chick that was holding some strange weapon. I saw what she was holding in her other hand and sighed. Great. A cop, probably intend on arresting me and the rest of the Coyotes. Well, I'm extremely pleased to disappoint her, because I'm not about to go down that easily. I've had many sharp swords pointed at me, so why should that little pea-shooter of hers scare me?"
(Tira steps on the gas and drives into battle, going towards the Vigilantes first.)
(Tira goes into battle against Haruka Hikari, Skidd McMarxx and Kathy. After defeating them, Carmelita Fox drives in for a one-on-one battle. Tira wins.)
(Ending)
(Tira is seen back in her home world, perched on a tree branch. A crow sits on her shoulder silently as Tira's eyes light up evilly at what she looks at down on the ground.)
"After I beat every last one of those Vigilantes and destroyed their supplies, I went back to Cortex. He told me that if Soul Edge was as powerful as I said it was, it would make do with whatever body it was given, no matter how strong it was. For once in my life, I was unable to make a reply. That twerp had actually been right for once. I had only been searching for the strongest bodies to become hosts for Soul Edge, when it would be able to be just as powerful if it had a weak body!"
(Looking down at the ground, it is seen that Tira is watching Zasalamel, his hood hanging down and his scythe resting loosely in his hand. Tira smirks darkly as she jumps down from the tree, preparing to swing her weapon.)
"Upon returning to my home world, I was filled with a renewed vigor. Now I knew that anyone could become a host for Soul Edge, I searched around until I could find someone whom could fight. What luck! I spotted the bald freak with the gold eye wandering the forest when I came back. He would make an excellent host for Soul Edge, but I needed to be quick, because he was known to run off with amazing speeds. Without thinking of the outcome, I jumped in for the kill."
(Hearing Tira, Zasalamel looks up, his golden eye gleaming. In the blink of an eye, Zasalamel swings his scythe, which blocks the attack from Tira's unusual weapon. Tira snarls as she steps back and swings again.)
"Just my luck. The fool saw me before I could attack. Now I really had to make this quick, because if given the chance to run, he would. I wanted a host for Soul Edge, and this guy was going to become it whether he wanted or not."
(Blocking Tira's next attack, Zasalamel kicks her into a tree. After he does, he turns around and flees. Tira is quick to recover, but sees that Zasalamel has escaped. Tira lets out an aggravated scream of fury, causing the birds in the trees to fly into the air in fright.)
"Once again, I have failed Soul Edge. However, I am its most loyal servant, and will keep searching until I find someone that will become the host. I refuse to give up my search now! Not after I've come so far!"
(Tira makes a mad dash into the forest, trying to chase after Zasalamel. Unfortunately, she goes in completely the wrong way, and thus quickly loses him.)
(Finish)
