4Level 2 Cutscene 1 - Welcome to the Feudal Era
The Shogun Must Go On
The trio have appeared outside an Imperial shrine.
"Welcome to the next stop in our Multiverse mission, boys," Stewie addressed. "Feudal Era Japan."
"Oh, yeah," Vinny began, "I heard about that era. They say that the honorable soldiers during those times were the katana-wielding samurai."
"Yes, Vinny," Stewie replied, aware. "And these soldiers wore suits of amror to protect themselves." He began daydreaming. "I wonder what it would be like to wield a katana."
"Stewie, look out!" Brian shouted.
Vinny leapt, pushing Stewie out of the way before a katana would hit either of them. Said katana landed blade down on the ground.
"Whoa," Stewie said, relieved. "If you hadn't pushed me out of the way, that sword would have shishkabobbed me."
Stewie then noticed an armored samurai warrior, about Brian and Vinny's size, wearing a maroon scarf around their neck.
"Wait a minute," he said, noticing something. "That scarf. It can't be." On this, he sounded rather horrified.
As we view the samurai from the front, we see a familiar bone shape on the scarf the samurai was wearing. However, the samurai wore a kendo mask over their face.
"What are you three doing here, outsiders?" the samurai asked in a familiar male voice.
"I was about to ask you the same thing," Stewie replied. "I'd demand that you remove your mask since I know who you are, but it wouldn't be honorable."
"You know this samurai?" Brian asked.
"You know him, too, Brian," Stewie replied. "We've met him when we thought you were getting too old."
"Wait, you don't mean...?" Brian said, surprised.
"I do," Stewie answered. "It's Vinny's predecessor as your replacement. It's New Brian."
"Wait," the samurai began, removing his mask to reveal himself to be New Brian. However, while doing so, he was confused. "How do you know my name?"
"Don't you remember?" Stewie asked.
"No," New Brian shook his head. "You do look familiar to me, though. Are you not with the Akuza?"
"Akuza?" Stewie repeated. "What are you talking about?"
"We're being attacked by a race of opposing ninja known as the Akuza, led by KÅjiro," New Brian explained. "Right now, I'm the shogun of a group of justice samurai known as the Masayoshi. If you're not with the Akuza, then I shall consider you my allies."
He put away his katana and replaced it in the sheath.
"New Brian, listen to me," Stewie began. "My half brother Bertram has brought you back from the dead and sent you back in time to the feudal era, and has somehow rewritten your memories so that you'd be a samurai for the Masayoshi. If you'd join forces with Brian, Vinny and I, we can bring you to your home time."
"Wait, you're saying I was dead?" New Brian replied, confused. "How did I get brought back to life?"
Before Stewie could answer, a few shurikens landed next to the four, frightening them.
"Uh-oh," New Brian continued. "The Akuza are here."
The aforementioned ninja surrounded them.
"Come on, guys," Vinny said, readying his fists. "We can take these ninjas, right?"
"Right," New Brian agreed. "But I think it'd be better without this heavy armor on. I want to fight them like a dog."
"You are a dog," Stewie agreed.
And with that, a battle began.
You've recruited New Brian
