Iwao: Take a deep breath. You can make it through these consaptions.

:Ryo's mother, Kiyoko, was pregnant by nine months:
:She had her legs spread wide open, hoping to be cared to by her good, loving husband, Iwao:

Kiyoko: Their called Contraptions.
Iwao: I'm not the one with the baby here.
Kiyoko: But you can start being a good Father!
Iwao: Once I see a healthy baby pop out of you, that's when I'll start being a Father. It's hard enough being a husband.

:Kiyoko moans:

Kiyoko: Uhhhhmmm!! (taking fast, short breaths) Honey… the baby's coming. Quick, put your hand on my sacred area!
Iwao: Ew. No.
Kiyoko: Do it!
Iwao: What in the hell? I need a drink.

:Iwao picks up the phone:
:The bartender at MJQ Jazz Bar answers:

Iwao: (on the phone) What drinks are on sale tonight?
Bartender: Hypnotic and Hennessey mixed. Stirred and served in a small glass.
Iwao: I'll be there.

"MJQ Jazz Bar"

:Iwao has a seat at the bar:
:Iwao eases himself with a few drinks:

Bartender Yoshifumi: How's the bride?
Iwao: Pregnant.
Yoshifumi: Excited?
Iwao: Let me have a few more drinks and I'll get back to you.
Yoshifumi: That bad, huh?
Iwao: It's been ten years since I've had a drink.
Yoshifumi: College?
Iwao: Army. Never went to College.

:A slim girl sits down next to Iwao:
:She had brown hair in a pony tail, black shirt, a skirt down to her knees, and glasses:
:She had all of the right signs saying she wasn't looking for a date tonight:
:Iwao gained some confidence from the alcoholic substances:
:He takes off his wedding ring and slips it in his pocket:

Iwao: How's it going beautiful?
Bar Girl: It's going.
Iwao: I have five belts, all equivalent to a good beating.
Bar Girl: Pardon me?
Iwao: Oh, hah , I meant Martial Arts Belts.
Bar Girl: Ohhhhh. Nice. I could use you around the house.

:Iwao smiles:

Iwao: Let me buy you a drink.

"Hotel down the Street"
"Room"

:Iwao gets pinned up against the wall by the bar girl:

Iwao: Your strong!

:The bar girl starts making out with him:
:Iwao tries to keep up with the girl, but her inner freak was more powerful than his:
:The bar girl goes for his zipper:

Iwao: (pushing the girl back) Stop. Stop.
Bar Girl: What's wrong?
Iwao: Hate to break it to you, but….but I'm married. I can't do this.
Bar Girl: Bummer. I understand.

:Iwao looks at his watch:

Iwao: (getting sentimental) I have a kid to deliver. He needs to be more stronger and braver then I ever was. He can't make the same mistakes I did, but he can make new ones. I'm leaving now…

(Ryo's Notebook)

Found a letter from a Villager in Bailu Village.

The letter has a map to the Chiyoumen's Mansion.

Must find the mansion!

END OF ENTRY #10

"China.1989."
"Shenhua's House"

Shenhua: Your going after Lan Di now?
Ryo-san: Yes.

:Shenhua takes out her journal and writes an entry:

Ryo-san: You have a journal too?
Shenhua: Yes. I figured I could keep track of thing's easier if I had one.
Ryo-san: That's great Shenhua!
Shenhua: I was in Bailu Village the other day and a man so happened to see me as I was writing an entry. He so happened to be a Publicist. He took a look at my previous entry's and said I had a very fascinating life and that he'd be willing to help me make it into a book. I could sell millions.
Ryo-san: (jealous) That's cool.
Shenhua: You think I have what it takes?
Ryo-san: I don't think you could make an interesting book of your walks through the woods.
Shenhua: There's a lot I haven't told you Ryo.

:Gui Zhang walks in:

Gui Zhang: Ready?

:Ryo nods:
:Shenhua pulls out a long box from underneath her bed:
:She hands the box to Ryo:

Shenhua: Don't open it yet. When the time is right, you'll know what to do.

:Ryo and Gui Zhang walk off:
:Shenhua takes a few scrap pieces of paper and begins to write her book:
:The book was titled "A life in Guilin. By: Shenhua Ling":

"Heaven"
"God's Room"

:Iwao makes God's bed:
:God walks in:

God: God your slow!
Iwao: Listen God, my son is about to go after Lan Di. Can you spare me a few hours?
God: You should of thought of that before I caught you spraying graffiti on the golden road.
Iwao: Jesus made me!
God: Yeah yeah. I'm going to watch some tv. Make my bed good then start dusting my furniture. I have a hard job, you know?

:God shuts the door and walks into his entertainment room:
:Angels were inside resting on sofa's and lazy boys with a bowl of popcorn, cheering to Ryo's adventure on Earth Tv On Demand:
:God slips on his hat that said "Rock Out With Your Cock Out!":

God: (cheering and joining the angels) Ok, so who's for Lan Di and who's for Ryo?!
Angels: It's all up to you God.
God: What did I say? I'm letting nature take it's course with this one. I can't ever enjoy anything on Earth Tv without deciding who's going to die. Let's make this entertaining for once!

"China"
"Hong Kong"
"Outside of Lan Di's Mansion"

Gui Zhang: Hazuki…
Ryo-san: (not taking his eye's off the mansion) Yeah?
Gui Zhang: Whatever happens, it was an honor being your partner.
Ryo-san: Likewise.

"Lan Di's Mansion"
"Lan Di's Office"

Niao-san: Thank you for taking care of little Chin while I go to work.

:Niao had motherly clothes:
:Her hair was cut short:
:She carried a baby bag strapped over her shoulder:
:She was more down to earth now:

Lan Di: Don't mention it. Would you ever consider joining the Chiyoumen again?
Niao-san: I've thought about it but every time I look into my baby boy's eyes, something inside my heart melts. Sorry Lan Di, but I gave up my swords a long time ago.

:Niao sets up Chin's Big Boy seat next to Lan Di's desk:
:Chin had just turned two:

Niao-san: Listen, I'm sorry for leaving the Chiyoumen. I'm sure the organization is doing much better now that I'm gone.
Lan Di: (turning up the music in his headphones) I'm sorry. What did you say?
Niao-san: Never mind. I'll be back in a few hours.

:She walks out, slamming the door behind her:
:Lan Di and Chin sit quietly:

Lan Di: You want to see what a man with power can do?
Chin: Yes.

:Lan Di pushes the red button on his intercom:

Lan Di: (into the intercom) Get your lazy asses in here!

:Not even a minute later, Lan Di's three guards rush into the room:

Lan Di: Shame. Shame. You were quicker last time.
Guards: We're so sorry Lan Di Sama.
Lan Di: Right. Uhhmm… I came into my office this afternoon and there was no lunch on my desk.
Guard #1: I thought the rule was we make the lunch and you pick it up?
Lan Di: The NEW rule is to have it on my desk every afternoon PRONTO!
Guard #2: Yes sir!

:The guards rush for the food:

Lan Di: (winking at Chin) Like that. Huh?

"Kitchen"

:The three guards run in:

Guard #3: Move dumbfuck!

:Guard #3 pushes the Chef out the way:

Guard #2: Oh dear God, his food has gotten cold.
Guard #3: We have to make another meal!

:The guards start taking out random food materials like tomatoes, onions, roast beef, and chicken:
:Guard #1 sets the stove heat to high and takes out a large pot:
:Guard #2 fills the pot with water and sets it on the stove:

Guard #1: What are we going to make Master?
Guard #3: It's too late to think. Start dumping in random things!

:The guards throw in all of the ingredients at the same time:

Guard #2: What if Lan Di Sama gets sick?
Guard #3: Good. No more orders if he dies, right?
Guard #1: Sounds like a plan! We'll throw in some onion chunks.

:Lan Di walks in with a list in his hands:

Lan Di: What in the Devil!

:The guards turn around and gulp:

Guard #2: M-Master. So good to see you.
Lan Di: (holding up the list in his hands) Our kill count isn't that impressive, our shipments aren't coming in the way I'd like them to, and the top leaders of the Chiyoumen are quitting on me. Seems like we have a problem.
Guard #1: Honestly Master, I believe the Chiyoumen is falling. The end to our organization is abroad.
Lan Di: There's only one solution…

:Lan Di takes out an Ak-47:

Lan Di: We start massacring our own men. Guns for each one of you!
Guard #3: Have you lost your mind?
Lan Di: (clicking in his rifle ammo) I'll take the bedrooms. We'll start with the maids then work our way up to the lower class Chiyoumen members.

"Lan Di's Office"

:Ryo and Gui Zhang walk in with their fists held high:

Ryo-san: Gui Zhang, see anything?
Gui Zhang: Nothing. All we've seen so far are a bunch of easily disposable handymen. Where's the big boss at?!

:Lan Di was heard down the hallway, heading for his office, humming the Shenmue theme song:
:Ryo and Gui Zhang wait on both sides of the door:
:Lan Di walks in, shuts his door, and starts getting undressed in the middle of his office:
:He cuts a fart and smiles:
:Ryo and Gui Zhang wrinkle their noses:
:Lan Di starts practicing different forms of the Tiger Swallow Style in his Haynes underpants:

Ryo-san: Lan Di!

:Lan Di turns around and covers his "area":

Lan Di: (blushing) Oh dear.

:Lan Di quickly puts on his robe:
:Ryo holds his fists up and walks towards him:

Ryo-san: Remember me?
Lan Di: I never got your name.
Ryo-san: Hazuki.
Lan Di: What did you do to Master Baihu?! All he says is that name. He's had three divorces because he screams "Hazuki!" during sex. How could you be so heartless?!
Ryo-san: No time for talk. Now you die. Any last words?
Lan Di: I have a few. How long do we have?
Ryo-san: Jesus Lan Di, go ahead.
Lan Di: First, I'd like to thank the Academy. It's been fun. I wouldn't of been able to of done it without my guards, and my Dad Chingy, my grandma wingy, and my son…
Ryo-san: ……
Lan Di: …. That I wish I had.
Ryo-san: That it?
Lan Di: Don't you have any last words?
Ryo-san: No! Because I'm going to win!
Lan Di: How greedy are you? At least you can tell them to me. Sort of a goodbye kind of thing.
Ryo-san: Ok. I really enjoyed hunting you down so I could kill you. Happy?
Gui Zhang: Kill his ass already Hazuki!

:Ryo runs in for a punch:

"Outside of Lan Di Mansion"

:A silver car pulls up to the mansion:
:Lan Di's three guards look out the window:

Guard #3: Oh no. The Chiyoumen leader is here…

"Lan Di's Mansion"
"Lan Di's Office"

Gui Zhang: Hazuki! No!

:Ryo crawls on the floor:
:Blood drips from his nose:
:Both of his eye's were black and his left wrist was sprained:

Lan Di: Your pitiful.
Ryo-san: T-T-Too powerful.

:Lan Di stands overtop of Ryo:
:It looked like he was going to perform the final blow:

Lan Di: And now… Hazuki….

:Ryo looks up at Lan Di, enjoying his final grasps of air:

Lan Di: …. I am going to take a shit on your face.

"Downstairs"

:The doorbell rings:
:The guards answer:
:Tentei, the Chiyoumen's leader, stands outside:

Tentei: Where is Lan Di?
Guard #1: Have any of you heard that name?

:Guard #1 looks over at #2 and #3:

Guard #2: Nope.
Guard #3: Sure haven't.
Guard #1: (looking back at Tentei) Sorry. You must be lost.
Tentei: I smell something fishy.
Guard #1: Grandpa is really sick. We're here taking care of him.
Tentei: I could of sworn this was the right mansion.
Guard #2: Hey it happens man. Nothing to feel bad about.

:Tentei takes out the yellow book and starts to read:

Tentei: Hmmm…
Guard #1: Well, good luck.
Tentei: Wait. I'm still coming in.

:Tentei invites himself in:
:Everyone in the mansion was acting normal, occasionally glancing over at Tentei then immediately going back to what they were doing:

Tentei: Hmmm…
Guard #3: I should go check on grandpa.
Guard #2: Good idea.

:Guard #3 walks into the other room:
:He spots a few members of the Chiyoumen wheeling around a whiteboard with a big operation on it:
:Guard #3 quickly directs them into another room:

"Lan Di's Office"

:Gui Zhang was on the floor next to Ryo, incapacitated:
:Guard #3 runs in:

Guard #3: Master, Tentei is here! He's very angry. He must be mad at the how bad we've been doing lately. We have to get out of here!
Lan Di: Hmmm… this isn't good. Did you use the grandpa excuse?
Guard #3: It's all covered.
Lan Di: Perfect.

:Lan Di looks down at Ryo and Gui Zhang:

Lan Di: You two. Mind helping a little? If this man finds us, he'll kill us all. Even if you two aren't members. I need your help.
Ryo-san: What makes you think I'll help you? You killed my Father!
Lan Di: I'm sorry. I had too. Your Father killed my Father.
Ryo-san: That's no excuse.
Lan Di: Than what's your excuse?
Ryo-san: ……….
Gui Zhang: He does have a point.
Ryo-san: Shut up Gui Zhang!
Lan Di: Hurry! I have a secret door behind my desk. We don't have long.

:Lan Di, Gui Zhang, and Ryo escape through the hidden door:
:Guards #1 and #2 run into the room:

Guard #1: What are we going to do?! We can't hold Tentei off for long!
Guard #3: I'll tell you what to do gentlemen, have you ever been to the Bahamas?
Guard #1 and #2: No.

:Guard #3 holds up three cruise tickets:

Guard #3: Let's get out of here. Leave this life. We've been slaves far too long.
Guard #2: Let's do it!

:The three of them start to pack their things:

"Underneath the Mansion"
"Secret Underground Parking Lot"

:Lan Di gets into the Black Car:

Ryo-san: This thing is a piece of shit. When I first saw it, it was very shiny and presentable. I even shopped around for it in some catalogs for prom.
Lan Di: Many crazy nights. Plus, the mileage far exceeds it's limit. I'm long overdue for an inspection.
Gui Zhang: Hmmm…
Lan Di: Get in!

:Ryo gets into the passenger seat and Gui Zhang gets into the backseat:
:The song "Girl's Just Wanna Have Fun" plays in Lan Di's cd player:

Lan Di: Umm… hehe… good song.

:Ryo opens Lan Di's glove box and numerous cd's fall out on the floor:
:Cd's from singers such as: Madonna, Rick Springfield, and Cyndi Lauper. All various hit singers from the 80's:

Lan Di: You HAVE to like Madonna! Did you hear her last release? It was a powerful piece of music.
Ryo-san: Can we go now?
Lan Di: Who's driving?
Ryo-san: I thought you were.
Lan Di: Me? Of course not. I never drive. I don't even know how to.
Ryo-san: I'll drive then.

:Lan Di and Ryo switch places:

"Lan Di's Office"

:Tentei walks in:
:He was furious:
:He tasted himself a piece of grandma's home cooked Lan Di pie:
:Guard #1 sat at Lan Di's desk:
:His feet were prompt up on the desk:
:He had a blunt in his mouth and a shotgun pointed at Tentei:

Guard #1: Why hello.
Tentei: What's going on?! Where's Lan Di?!
Guard #1: He aint here anymore.
Tentei: What do you want?
Guard #1: Good question. That's hard to say, really. I've been thinking a lot lately. We all have.

:Guard #2 walks from the side with a handgun pointed at Tentei:
:Guard #3 walks from the side doing the same:

Guard #1: What's the point in this business. You tough men walking around thinking you can knock off a limb or two here and there? Catch my drift?

:Guard #1 stands up and walks over to Tentei:

Guard #1: You read the bible Tentei?
Tentei: Which God?
Guard #1: The Jesus one.
Tentei: (embarrassed) Sometimes.
Guard #1: Ezekiel 26:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

:Guard #1, 2, and 3 fire their weapons at Tentei:
:Tentei flies backwards, dead:

Guard #2: That was awesome!
Guard #1: (blowing the smoke from his shotgun) Yes… it was.
Guard #3: Something tells me we'll be seeing that in a future movie….

"Countryside of China"

:Ryo drives down a road in the middle of nowhere:
:There were vast fields all around him:

Lan Di: You take this road all the way to the end then make a right turn.
Ryo-san: Where are you taking us?
Gui Zhang: Hazuki can you please pull over? I don't want to use the public bathrooms. Do you know what happens in them?
Lan Di: Your taking me home.
Ryo-san: Home? Like Mother and Father home?
Lan Di: Mother and Stepfather.
Ryo-san: Oh right.

"Ranch in middle of Field"
"Lan Di's Home"

:Ryo drives forever down a mile long driveway:
:He reaches the ranch home and parks the car:

Lan Di: I didn't want my henchman to see me do this.
Ryo-san: Why are you getting so dramatic over this?
Lan Di: I haven't seen my Mother in over twenty years. I got in a huge argument with my Stepfather, broke his leg, and ran off.

:A group of pigs walk by the front of the car:

Lan Di: (pointing at a specific pig) I had my favorite pig, Oinky. Stepfather would wake up bright and early. I'd hear him clipping on his trousers. He'd eat a quick breakfast, then run out to the mill before the sun floated up. I woke up to the sound of Oinky, my favorite pig. Oinky and I had adventures together. We ate together, he showered together, and we slept together. We had a bond. So beautiful. Anyways, I could go on forever about Oinky. He kind of made me who I am today…
Ryo-san: A pig?
Lan Di: No. An ass sniffer…
Gui Zhang: Like forreal forreal?
Lan Di: I've sniffed people's asses all of my life. How do you think I got to my Chiyoumen position?
Gui Zhang: You sniffed an ass?
Lan Di: Uhmm anyways, back to my story. One day on the lonely ranch felt so different. I woke up and Stepfather had awoken a little early. He was already outside, chopping wood and fetching water. I didn't hear Oinky that morning.
Gui Zhang: Hazuki, give me some tissues.
Ryo-san: What?
Gui Zhang: Give me some goddamn tissues quick!
Lan Di: I walked alongside our long brittle black fence all the way to the Butcher's Shed. I found Oinky in there… gutted. It was the end to a great friendship. I cried forever, under the beating sun. And since then, I never forgave Stepfather…

:Gui Zhang was balling his eye's out in a stack of tissues:

Gui Zhang: Why did it have to be OINKY!!

:Lan Di's mother walks out of the house:
:Lan Di gets out of the car, bending down to say his last words to Ryo:

Ryo-san: Guess we're even. You made this whole thing so damn sad I'd hate to kill you.
Lan Di: Bitch please. You know I'd still kick your ass.
Ryo-san: Take care.
Lan Di: Thank you. Now I might actually be able to milk a cow with Stepfather. I can feel those tight leather trousers run up my ass crack once more.

:Lan Di takes a big sniff out the country sides fresh air:

Lan Di: What a good feeling.

:Lan Di shuts the door and walks towards the house:

Lan Di's Mother: Ronald! Ronald come quick! James is back!

"Somewhere in the Western Atlantic Ocean"
"Cruise Ship"

:The three guards cheer their alcoholic drinks:
:They were in their swim suits only:
:They watched as the girls in bikinis dove into the pool:

Guard #1: Who still wants to guard Lan Di?
Guard #2: Certainly not me!

:The three guards start to laugh:

Guard #3: You know guys, we live the life now.
Guard #1: Damn right!

:Guard #1 gets up:

Guard #1: Master, I'm going to use the bathroom now.
Guard #3: Why the hell you tellin' us?!
Guard #1: That's the joke! Where's Lan Di?! Ha!

:The guards start laughing:

Guard #1: I'm going to take the biggest piss of my life! To freedom gentlemen!

:The guards cheer their drinks once more:

"China"
"Ranch"
"Lan Di's Home"

:Ryo and Gui Zhang stand on a hill, overlooking the vast fields surrounding Lan Di's Home:

Gui Zhang: Thing's always turn out for the best.
Ryo-san: I'm returning to Yokosuka. I forgot about life completely the past few years. I believe life will be different, but in a good way.
Gui Zhang: I think I'll start to love Father….for the short period of time he has left. You two sure know how to make someone feel bad about their Father.
Ryo-san: Master Chen doesn't have much time left. You should start to grieving process right now.

"Japan.2008."

Yu Suzuki: And that's it!

:Yu Suzuki claps:

Yu Suzuki: Someone had to clap! Hahaha! ShenmueIrony is over. It's done. A perfect end to a great series! I almost wet my pants half the time! Hahaha! What was so ironic about ShenmueIrony. Nothing really! And it's called "ShenmueIRONY". That's all the irony you need!
I'm Yu Suzuki ladies and gentlemen, and throughout this long series of jokes and all out humor, we've come to learn one thing, I can at least do one thing right… get joked on! Hahaha. Now get closer. Give ol' Suzuki a hug.

:A truck runs over Yu, crushing him underneath:

Trucker: (inside the truck) Holy shit, did we just hit that guy back there?!
Teenage Shenmue Fan: (in the passenger seat) No. He's fine. Keep driving

Fuku-san: How's everything going for you Ryo-san?
Ryo-san: (unpacking his thing's) Couldn't be better.
Fuku-san: That's great to hear but ummm…
Ryo-san: What Fuku-san?
Fuku-san: I've been really lonely in the Dojo the past few years.
Ryo-san: I'll come spar with you.
Fuku-san: Yes! Really?! Thanks Ryo-san!

:Fuku giggles and runs out:

Ryo-san: That Fuku-san…

:Ryo digs through his green bag and finds that long box that Shenhua gave him:
:He unclips the locks and opens it:
:Inside what the Floating Sword from the Phantom River Cave:
:Ryo wraps his hand around the sword and lifts it up in front of him:
:The sword felt like it weighed a ton:
:Ryo starts to get a sense of euphoria:
:Everything that dwelled deep inside of him went away:
:His mind starts to believe that what he felt right now was how he should of felt:
:He had a new mission, and it didn't involve Lan Di:
:He must rebuild Yokosuka:
:His veins start to pierce his skin and turn red:
:His skin fainted to a clear color:
:His eyes transformed red and his hair engulfed into flames:
:His muscles tripled size and his legs grew a few feet:
:Ryo holds the floating sword high:
:Fuku walks in:
:Ryo had an automatic scan in his vision:
:His scanner scopes the room, targeting Fuku:
:It read Fuku's age, height, ethnicity, fighting skill, blood type, and heart beat:

Fuku-san: Ryo-san, you look different.
Ryo-san: (smiling) I am.
