Prologue for Shenmue 3

[SMDzero]

What will the new prologue text for Shenmue 3 be?

My idea:


"Turmoil has engulfed Guilin. The taxation of trade routes to outlying villages is in dispute.

Hoping to resolve the matter with a blockade of deadly warships, the greedy Chi You Men has stopped all shipping to the small village of Bailu.

While the People's Republic of China endlessly debates this alarming chain of events, Yuanda Zhu has secretly dispatched Ryo and Shenhua, the guardians of peace and justice in the Orient, to settle the conflict...."

[Zoltor]

I was more along the lines of thinking:

After 16 years being trapped in the Stone pits for 16 years, Ryo emerges , with Shenhua by his side, along with their children

However unknownst to Ryo, is that Lan Di rules all of China now like a tyrant. To make matters worse, Lan Di is looking for a bride, which he then kidnaps one of Shenhua, and Ryo's daughters, so now they need to go rescue her, sending Lan Di to the deepest pits of hell in the process.

After 14 years, Ryo and Shenhua's epic staring contest has finally come to an end.

"The children of the prophecy emerged from the cave of phantom river stone. Their pursuit to find the truth behind the Mirrors and the reason for the murder of Ryo's father had raged for decades - almost one-and-a-half, in fact - but the final battle would not be fought in the future. It would be fought here, in our present, in 2017 (possibly 2018)... in 1986. Tonight... or in the morning, afternoon, or evening; whatever takes your fancy."

If you can tell me what movie title card this is a parody of, you win a boombox!

The Terminator! Gimme that boombox now!

Maybe something like this:
In a world where everything you know is wrong one man is on a journey to avenge his father! A rengegade girl holds the secret that is can bring danger into the galaxy! More than ever! Only love and forgiveness can save us. Coming soon... or not soon... but at least it's coming!...

[Let's Get Sweaty]

He shall appear from a far eastern land across the sea,
A middle aged man who has yet to know his potential.
This potential is a power that could either destroy him or realize his will.
His courage shall determine his fate.
The path he must traverse, fraught with adversity.
I await whilst praying
For this destiny predetermined since ancient times.
A pitch black night unfolds with Kickstarter as its only light.
And thus the saga... resumes.

Got it in one! You can have any colour boombox you like, so long as it's red
