[In the middle of a sea storm, a lady and her child is seen on
a small boat. The camera shows the lady and her child's face.
Suddenly a girl wakes up, apparently she was dreaming. The
girl wipes her eyes and looks out the window. The camera pans
out of her window showing Alexandria. After that birds are
seen flying and a ship appears. Inside the ship a boy with a
tail slides down from a pole and enters a door]
Boy with a tail: Sure is dark...
[The boy walks up a little]
Boy with a tail: Guess nobody's here yet.
[The boy lights a match and lights the candle in the middle of
the room]
???: Who's there?!?
Zidane: It's me, Zidane!
[Three guys comes out from the right side room and does a
Tantalus handshake]

kidnappers'll be Blank and Zidane!
[The camera changes view. Blank brings out an oglop]
Blank: I'll distract the audience from backstage with these
little buggers. I can't stand oglops...
[Blank puts the oglop back]

your cue, Zidane!

amazed. The audience claps. The captain looks at the princess
and is shocked because the princess still looks depressed]
[Baku comes out on stage and bows at the audience. The
audience is still clapping]
Baku: Ladies and Gentlemen! Tonight's performance is a story
that takes place long, long ago. Our heroine, Princess
Cornelia, is torn from her lover, Marcus. She attempts to flee
the castle, only to be captured by her father, King Leo. When
our story begins, Marcus, having heard of this, crosses swords
with the king. And now, Your Royal Majesty, Queen Brahne, Your
Highness, Princess Garnet...noble ladies and lords, and our
rooftop viewers, Tantalus proudly presents 'I Want to Be Your
Canary'!
[Music plays and Baku bows down. Everybody claps]

lost even thy love!
[Cinna stand up]
Cinna: Fortune hath escap'd thee! For what end shalt they
live?
[Zidane stands up and swings his sword up]
Zidane: For the sake of our friend... Let us bury our steel in
the heart of the wretched King Leo!
Cinna and Blank: Aye!
[They run towards the screen. On the stage lightening is seen.

is trying to capture Marcus when the three aids Marcus]
Blank: We shall back thee, kinsman!
Marcus: Pray, sheathe thy swords! This villain is mine alone!
Cinna: Nay, kinsman! For I, too, have lost a brother to this
fiend!
[The King Leo swings his sword]
King Leo: What ho? Out, vermin! Away! Thou darest bare thy
sword before thee king!? All who stand in my way will be
crush'd!
[The camera changes view. Marcus draws his sword and points it
to the king]
Zidane: Treacherous Leo, my kinsman's suffering shall not be
in vain! For I shall instruct thee in his incomparable pain!
[They all fight]
[The king attacks Blank]
King Leo: Taste steel
[The four defeats them. The king holds his wound]
King Leo: Arrg...Grr...
[The king walks up the stairs and come on top]
King Leo: Thou hast not seen the last of me, Marcus!
Zidane: Come back!
[Zidane tries run after him but Blank steps in front of him
and blocks the way]
Zidane: Out of the way, Blank!
[Zidane slashes his sword at him. Blank jumps back]
Blank: Consider this, Zidane! If Prince Schneider were to
marry Princess Cornelia, peace would reign over both their
kingdoms!
Zidane: 'Tis foolishness! If all were so easy, why, none would
suffer in this world!
[The two goes up the top and starts sword fighting]
Zidane: Aha!
[Zidane slash at Blank. Blank ducks]
Blank: Mph!
[Blank slashes down. Zidane jumps. Zidane slashes at him but
Blank ducks it]
Zidane: Aha!
[Zidane tries to hit his leg but Blank avoids it with a back
flip. The two fights around the stage and comes in front of
the audience]
Blank: En garde!
Zidane: Expect no quarter from me!
[The two fights]
Blank: We shall finish this later!
Zidane: Come back here!
[The two runs into the castle]

Jack?
Alleyway Jack: Huh? How id you know my name? If you know who I
am, you probably wanna challenge me to a card game, huh? What?
You don't know how to play? And you want me to teach you?
Well... Why not? I finished one job already. Follow me, kid!
[The boy follows Alleyway Jack to the bar]
Alleyway Jack: We'll start with the basics. You need 5 cards
to play the game. To play a game, approach someone and press
[]. Some people may not be interested; in that case, move on
to someone else. Do you understand now?
1. How do you play the card game?
2. How does the card game proceed?
3. What's a card battle?
4. What's a combo?
5. What's a perfect?
6. What's a collector's level?
7. Can we try a game?
8. I think I understand
< 1. How do you play the card game? >
-------------------------------------
[He already explained so no need to explain it again]
< 2. How does the card game proceed? >
--------------------------------------
Alleyway: Let's talk about how to actually play the game. You
take turns placing your cards on a 4x4 grid with your
opponent. Sometimes your opponent's card flips. That's because
of the yellow arrows on the corners and the sides of the
cards. If your arrow is facing in the direction of yours
opponent's card, that card becomes yours. But if your
opponent's card has an arrow facing yours, a card battle
begins.
< 3. What's a card battle? >
----------------------------
Alleyway Jack: When several arrows face each other, multiple
card battled may occur. You can choose where to begin the
cared battle when that happens. Where you choose to begin the
battle affects how the rest of the battles play out. Let's
see... You can also use combos.
< 4. What's a combo? >
----------------------
Alleyway Jack: Okay, I'll teach you the technical stuff now!
You gotta be careful during a card battle. If your card wins
against the opponent's card, all the cards facing that card's
arrows are yours. That's called a combo. It's a double-edged
sword, because the same thing happens to you if your card
loses against your opponent's card! Try to play a perfect
game!
< 5. What's a perfect? >
------------------------
Alleyway Jack: What is a perfect game, you ask? You get one of
your opponent's cards when you win. If you flip over all of
your opponent's cards and play a perfect game, you can take
all of them! Reach for the highest collector's levels!
< 6. What's a collector's level? >
----------------------------------
Alleyway Jack: Let me tell you about collector's levels! Check
your menu and go to the section entitled Card. You can check
your collector's level there. You level up as you collect more
cards. Even I don't know what the highest collector's level
is.
< 7. Can we try a game? >
-------------------------
Alleyway Jack: Let's play.
< 8. I think I understand >
---------------------------
Alleyway Jack: This is the only town where I'm called Alleyway
Jack. I go by other names elsewhere. They're also just
aliases, of course. You wanna know my real name? I'll tell you
when you get better.
Pointy-Hat Boy: Thank you.
