Location:
Hanamura, Japan | Genji and Hanzo

Hanzo drops from a building and runs through the gates into a temple. He climbs onto a fence and shoots a guard, dropping down, Hanzo then runs and kicks another off the fence. Hanzo then grabs another guard in a choke hold and shoots the last guard's phone as he starts to call the police. He then sneaks into the main building of the temple and sits in front of a katana and its sheath on a rack. He then pulls out three items. A bowl, a stand, and a feather. Hanzo sets them down in that order from left to right. Hanzo then grabs meditation candles and begins to meditate.

Hanzo: You are not the first assassin sent to kill me, and you will not be the last.

Hanzo sets the candles on the stand. Genji activates his armor and jumps down from a balcony.

Genji: You are bold to come to Shimada Castle. The den of your enemies.

Hanzo: This was once my home. Did your masters not tell you who I was?

Hanzo grabs his bow and shoots at Genji. Genji dodges the arrow.

Genji: I know who you are, Hanzo.

Hanzo shoots another and Genji dodges again.

Genji: I know you come here every year, on the same day.

Hanzo shoots three arrows at once and Genji takes cover.

Genji: You risk so much to honor someone you murdered.

Genji equips his shurikens and throws them at Hanzo. Hanzo dodges.

Hanzo: You know nothing of what happened.

Hanzo shoots Genji. Genji blocks it with his sword and jumps backward and into a trench in the floor. Hanzo then shoots his richochet arrow and they seperate and bounce around the room Genji ran into. Genji blocks them with his sword then jumps back up to Hanzo's level and dashes up stairs.

Genji: I know you tell yourself that your brother disobeyed the clan-

Hanzo shoots where Genji's voice came from.

Genji: and you have to kill him to maintain order. That wasn't your duty.

Hanzo: That was my duty, and my burdon

Hanzo shoots at Genji. Genji blocks the arrow.

Hanzo: That does not mean that I do not honor him.

Hanzo shoots at Genji again. Genji splits the arrow in half right down the middle. They charge at each other and start doing melee combat. Genji jumps over Hanzo and kicks him against a fence. He jumps and lunges Hanzo. Hanzo blocks Genji's sword with his bow.

Genji: You think you honor your brother, Genji, with incense and offerings? Honor comes from one's actions.

Hanzo looks at an arrow stuck in the floor board.

Hanzo: You dare, lecture me about honor? You are not worthy to say his name.

Hanzo runs and slides grabbing the arrow and his dragon tattoo shines blue and ignites the arrow.

Hanzo: Ryuu-ga, Wa-ga-te-ki-wo, Ku-ra-u.

Hanzo shoots the arrow at Genji and the arrow turns into two blue dragons

Genji unsheathes his Katana.

Genji: Ryūjin no ken wo kūrae.

Genji creates a green dragon and steers the blue dragons back at Hanzo.

Hanzo falls to his knees and Genji sheathes his katana.

Hanzo: Only a shimada can control the dragons. Who are you?

Genji runs at Hanzo and puts a knife to his throat.

Hanzo: Do it then. Kill me!

Genji: No. I will not grant you the death you wish for. You still have a purpose in this life, brother.

Hanzo: No. How? My brother is dead.

Genji removes his faceplate to show his scarred face.

Hanzo: What have you become?

Genji: I have accepted what I am. And I have forgiven you. Now, you must forgive yourself. The world is changing once again Hanzo. And it's time to pick a side.

Genji hops to a tower. Hanzo grabs an arrow.

Hanzo: Real life is not like the stories our father have told us. You were a fool for believing it so.

Genji: Perhaps I was a fool to see there was hope for you. But, I do. Think on that, brother.

Genji vanishes.
