rid of the online fee, and make it gamecube-exclusive like it SHOULD have

Legend of the White Shadow
So many thoughts were running through Tenshi's mind...
"Who is this guy? How did he transform like that? Is he strong enough to beat that android? Am I going to die if he cant? What about Sakura and Katie? I know Katie can be repaired, but what if something happens to Sakura?"
But in Sakura's mind, the only thought running through her head was...
"Hey... That guy's kind of cute!"
Meanwhile, back at the scene of the battle, the now-transformed HUmar and the enraged HUcast stared each other down
"Attacking innocent girls, eh? Not exactly the kind of thing I'd expect from a fellow hunter..."
"Shut up! i have no affiliation with you! You'll die just the same as those two!"
the HUcast lunged his partisan at Seraphim...
"HEY! In this form, I'm called "White Shadow", got it?
What? But you introduced yourself as "Seraphim" in the prologue!
Just do it, or I'll sic a Hildetorr on you!
Fine! Fine! No need to get nasty! Now where was I..? Ah, yes!
The HUcast lunged his partisan at WHITE SHADOW...
Thank you...
...and began to perform a 3-hit combo, to which White Shadow easily weaved between all three strikes, and somehow, disappeared from sight
"What? Where'd he go?"
"Up here!"
He was standing on the HUcast's partisan! Just below the photon blade, where it's long handle became it's beam generator
"There's a funny thing about long weapons like partisans, you know..."
"WHAT? What are you talking about? Stop playing around! This is a fight to the death!"
He quickly ran down the partisan's shaft, bringing him just inches from his opponent's face!
"Once your enemy gets behind the range of your blade, you have no way to counterattack!"
With a sharp motion of his wrist, he used Tenshi's saber to cut the HUcast's right arm off!
"Victory is mine!"
"No, it isn't!"
"What? I just cut your arm off!"
"No you didn't!"
"Then what's that right there?"
...
...
...
"I've had worse..."
...
...
...
"You know what? I'm not going to go through this entire skit before i kill you... I'm just going to do this!"
He thrust Tenshi's saber through the HUcast's chest, severing the cord that controlled it's movement, causing the HUcast's body to fall to the ground
"Like using paralysis traps? Try a taste of your own medicine!"
"This is impossible! How did he beat me?"
"You fight dishonorably, so you lose dishonorably... Now if you don't mind, I'll go help those newman girls you tried to kill..."
He walked towards Sakura, and knelt down beside her
"Sakura, was it? don't worry, you'll be alright. RESTA!"
He cast a healing technique on her, and helped her to her feet
"Um... thank you for saving me, Mr..?
"Shadow... White Shadow... I assume you're able to cast the "Resta" and "Anti" techs?"
"Yes I can, I planned ahead for becoming a force, so I downloaded my tech. discs earlier than most people"
"Good, why don't you go help your friend over there. I need to do a few last things to that HUcast."
He walked over to the fallen HUcast, and pulled out a small, handheld computer
"Datalog entry: March 14, AUW 2004. I have encountered and defeated a renegade HUcast in forest sector 1. witnesses to my fight include a young HUnewearl and FOnewearl. The HUcast's description: Red armor, and a large metal horn on his head match the description of "Blight", a Hunter who is supposedly registered within the "Black Flame Organization". I will be bringing the witnesses back to LightBase, along with a record of the HUcast's memory files, as is standard procedure"
As he performed this strange procedure, Sakura began to walk over to Tenshi, but stopped at the sight of something on the ground
"Hmm... should I, or shouldn't I?"
...
...
...
"Heheheh... this is going to be good!"
She reached Tenshi's side, and cast a resta and anti technique on her
"Hey, Tenshi? You all right?
"I think so, Sakura... what just happened here?"
"It looks like that "Phantom Hunter" saved us! I guess I was right: He really is cool!"
"Trust me, Sakura... If you knew him the way I did, you wouldn't think that..."
She tried to get to her feet, but was having difficulty doing so, due to her recent injurys
"Hey, Tenshi? Need a hand?"
"Sure, I guess I'm still a little woozy from that paralysis trap and... AAH!"
She had reached out to grab Sakura's hand, but ended up grabbing cold metal. She was holding the HUcast's severed arm!
"SAKURA!!!"
"HAHAHA!!! Sorry, Ten-chan! I couldn't resist!"
Meanwhile, White Shadow had finished downloading the HUcast's memory, and walked over to the two newman girls
"Well, it looks like I've finished all the required procedures. something tells me that you two are very confused right now, right?"
"Yep"
"Yep"
"Well, then follow me, and all your questions will be answered! RYUKER!"
He generated a telepipe in front of him.
"Well? you two coming?"
Tenshi and Sakura exchanged glances, and nodded at each other
"We'll go, but we expect all our questions answered!"
"And so they shall..."
the three of them entered the warp pipe, vanishing, as they moved to a different location. Meanwhile, on the forest floor...
"Damn it, Seraphim! You forgot about me!"
Katie's head had been dragging itself back to her body with her tongue, and re-attached her head and body using her nanorepair system. She quickly ran into the telepipe, which closed shortly behind her.
All was quiet in the forest, until a dark figure emerged from behind a tree. He was a HUmar, clad in black, with black hair and red eyes.
"So, Blight lost to him after all... But then again, I expected as much..."
The dark HUmar looked up at the now-setting sun
"You've grown strong over the last two years... Little Brother..."
