Fa Yuan pleads for Fifteen to spare him, but Fifteen drowns him in his own toilet. The first time is when Fifteen corners Fa Yuan in Mutual-Nil prison.And Now for Someone Completely Different: One stage has you play as Fifteen as he fights his way through the prison looking for Fa Yuan.This occasionally pops up to add flavor (for instance, a war medal is the Distinguished Service Crescent). It seems like a standard cyberpunk example of the trope, except that the country of Neo Mecca, despite having the feel of immediately post-Vietnam America, is an Arab country with Japanese influence instead. After you finish a section, you get to see a security cam play out in your real-time so you can see how unstoppable you were. Should that happen, you have to start that section all over again, enemies and everything, so don't get cocky. The bad news is you go down in one hit too. The good news is your enemies go down in one hit. You can even grab certain objects and throw them at the baddies.
You can counter bullets with your trusty katana and make time go slower to get the drop on your prey. Gameplay-wise, the levels are essentially you planning out your line of attack during your assignments.
But you're seeing a therapist, so it evens out, right? Still though. You've also been having some really vivid nightmares. For starters, you don't know much about yourself and the stuff there is to know is pretty nasty.
Pretty sweet, right? Problem is, you've got some personal issues going on. How do you do it? By utilizing Chronos, a drug that lets you screw around with time and even look into the future. You are a katana-wielding assassin, known only (and mistakenly) as The Dragon, who leaves no one alive.
