Ninja Gaiden 2: The Dark Sword of Chaos
Sent in by Jared Solovay
Once you defeat the third incarnation of Jaquio, the Dark Sword of
Chaos shatters into pieces. Ryu carries a prostrate Irene from the fortress
as the doorway disappears behind them. Ryu shouts Irene's name, but to
no avail. Suddenly, the ground shakes violently, and we see the fortress
rumbling. In dramatic fashion, enormous pieces of the fortress slowly
crumble into the sea. When the destruction is complete, the shot pans
to reveal Ryu holding Irene in his arms as he watches the aftermath from
a mountain top. We see close-ups of a hoodless Ryu despondently
holding Irene, and he says: "Irene... I'm so sorry. My clan... defeating
the demons... none of that matters... now that you're gone." To his
surprise, Ryu's Dragon Sword begins to pulse and transforms into a ball
of light. It flies around and eventually goes into Irene. She murmurs, and
her eyes blink to life. Ryu declares it a miracle and Irene says: "Ryu.
What... what happened to me? I feel like I've been dreaming... for a long
time." Ryu responds, "It's all right... It's over. It's all over, Irene. The
Darkness is gone." Irene answers, "Oh, Ryu. Then... It's true. The part
about... you and I... isn't it?" Ryu says, "Yes, Irene. Look. Can you believe
how beautiful our world is, Irene? And it'll stay like this... forever." Side
by side, the couple stands atop a mountain and watches an enormous
sunset over the sea, after which the stars come out and a shooting star
flies overhead. The credits then play, accompanied by numerous shots
from throughout the game. The final image (Ryu holding the recently
revived Irene) fades to black and white, and it says "The End."
