Opening Scene Transcript
A boat is seen sailing in the Pacific Ocean during a stormy night.

Japanese Officer: 密航者共をデッキに上げろ. (Bring the stowaways up on deck.)

The scene switches to young Takeo Masaki being punched in the head by a Japanese officer from the Imperial Japanese Navy, while being restrained by other Japanese soldiers.

Japanese Officer: この恥晒しめが！日本を裏切り陛下に仇なすとは！(You are a disgrace! A traitor to Japan! A traitor to our Emperor!)

The officer holds a Katana towards Takeo, with young "Tank" Dempsey, Nikolai Belinski and Edward Richtofen watching from the side.

Dempsey: Take it easy, Tak.

''The officer looks towards Dempsey before looking back at Takeo. Another Japanese solider then walks towards the officer with the Summoning Key in his hand before giving it to the officer.''

Japanese Officer: どうやっててに入れてんだ、この遺物を (How did you come into possession of this... artifact?)

Richtofen: I'm sorry! I don't speak Japanese.

Japanese Officer: 誰か答えられないのか. (You will explain yourselves.)

Dempsey: The object in your hand? It's going to bring you nothing but pain. Believe me, I know.

Japanese Officer: ネズミどもを海に叩き落とせ (Throw this vermin overboard!)

Takeo: I... am an envoy of the Emperor himself!

''The ship then hits a massive wave, causing everyone to briefly lose their balance. Takeo then kicks the Japanese Officer in the stomach before grabbing his Katana and stabbing him in the stomach, killing him.''

Takeo: I AM NO TRAITOR!

''Dempsey then elbows his captor before everyone gets into a brawl. Takeo keeps slicing Japanese soldiers before the officer falls to the ground, dropping the Summoning Key as it rolls around the deck. Nikolai then holds down a Japanese soldier as he fires his KN-44 at a few barrels filled with gasoline. Richtofen then grabs a nearby lantern and throws it at one of the Japanese soldiers, causing him to light aflame as he then explodes, sending Richtofen onto the ground, where he notices the Summoning Key rolling towards the edge of the deck. Takeo then kills another soldier before noticing the Key. He begins to walk towards the Summoning Key as Dempsey and Nikolai attack two soldiers trying to charge towards Takeo as Takeo himself kills another soldier. Takeo jumps over Nikolai's back as the Summoning Key rolls off the side of the deck.''

Richtofen: No, no, no!

''Takeo quickly reaches for the Summoning Key as the others help him. The camera pans down Takeo's arm, who is now holding the Summoning Key.''

Dempsey: That was close.

Richtofen: Yes. A little TOO close.

Takeo inspects the Summoning Key as the fire behind them ignites more gasoline filled barrels.

Nikolai: We must go, now!

''Nikolai pushes the others off the side of the boat as an explosion occurs. The four can then be seen climbing onto an overturned lifeboat as Richtofen nods to Takeo. The four look forward and notice an island in the distance. The four jump off the side of the overturned lifeboat as they begin to swim towards the island as the fiery boat behind them sinks into the ocean as the scene ends.''

Ending Scene Transcript
''Takeo approaches the cell where his original self is. The original Takeo is sitting on the ground, then looks up at the cell door.''

Original Takeo: Your eyes... I recognize them. Almost as though they were my own.

''The young Takeo looks at him in shock. He then opens the cell door.''

Takeo: Takeo Masaki... I did not believe I would find you in such a place.

Takeo then sits down, his back facing his other self.

Original Takeo: I was a warrior... I fought many great battles, for the glory of our nation... for the honor of the dying samurai spirit. I was... a hero.

Takeo: I... share this memory. I have lived many of the same victories.

Original Takeo: I later learned that my victories were... unwelcome.

The original Takeo then stands up, and walks outside the cell, toward Dempsey, Nikolai and Richtofen.

Original Takeo: His betrayal was driven by petty jealousy. He knew I could endure anything, that I fear not even my own death!

The young Takeo follows outside the cell.

Takeo: Punishment is one thing. This is... cruelty. Who could be so evil to desire another soul to endure such suffering? Who amongst us can be so dishonorable?!

The original Takeo then turns around.

Original Takeo: Are you so blinded by your own loyalty? The orders... came from the Emperor himself!

Takeo is shocked by the revelation, as he looks at his other self in disbelief.

Takeo: My life... my path... is built upon a lie.

''Richtofen looks at Takeo, then looks down in disappointment. Takeo looks down on his hands.''

Takeo: This realm... may have been corrupted and consumed by evil. But we possess the power to change things.

''Takeo then unsheathes his katana. Original Takeo nods his head. The young Takeo then hands his katana to him.''

Takeo: A better tomorrow is only possible... if we blow away the ashes of the past.

Original Takeo: ...None of us choose the means by which mercy will find us...

The original Takeo then picks up his katana.

Original Takeo: ...But I am at peace.

''The original Takeo then walks into his cell. He looks back at his younger self.''

Original Takeo: I understand what must be done... Will you be my kaishakunin?

Takeo: It is... my honor!

''The original Takeo then kneels on the ground, as he readies to commit seppuku, with the young Takeo holding a katana behind him. The original Takeo then plunges the katana into his stomach, prompting the young Takeo to decapitate him. Screen turns black. The Summoning Key is then shown capturing the original Takeo's soul, before fading to white.''

Dempsey: Three down, one to go. Guess it's you next, Nikolai.

Richtofen: Nein. There is something else we must do. There is a chain of events that must be set in motion.

The group is seen teleporting, then back in the cell.

Dempsey: Okay, gotta admit, I didn't see that one coming.

Richtofen: Call it... our insurance policy, in case we don't like where we end up.

Easter Eggs

 * The major easter egg of the map is "Seeds of Doubt".
 * A musical easter egg, "Dead Flowers", can be activated by finding three sock monkeys around the map.
 * A second musical easter egg, "Samantha's Lullaby", can be activated when the player fills Melody bulbs that can be found on the wall next to the location of the Purple water. There are 7 bulbs in total, one in which is used as a play button, you must fill the other bulbs with purple water (each bulb is required to be filled to a certain amount, here is the order: 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 5). If done correctly, the player can interact with the last bulb to activate the song.

Trivia

 * If the player uses the Anywhere But Here! GobbleGum after the Spider Boss (player must be inside the boss's arena), they can either interact with a white blueprint on the desk on the right side or a hatched egg to the left side. It will trigger the noise of an unknown creature.
 * Upon finishing the main easter egg, all four characters will have two blood vials each on their person, similar to Richtofen. However, unlike the blood vials Richtofen carries, the others' don't have any marking on them.
 * If the player looks up at the sky, the player will see that there is a tear in time and space. From one of these tears, the Icarus from Mob of the Dead can be found. Other tears will have what looks like a dogfight between an F4U Corsair and an A6M Zero.
 * If a player (either solo or co-op), stands in leaked spore gas long enough, the player will start to have hallucinations that will trigger scary sounds to play and a bloody background in certain spots on the map.
