Opening Scene TranscriptEdit

Several shots of the Der Riese factory is seen, as Ludvig Maxis is heard screaming.

Maxis: Edward, what are you doing!? Open the door! Edward!! Open this door now!

Shots of gears within a machine are seen, while Maxis tries to comfort his daughter.

Maxis: Stay by me Samantha!

Richtofen: Goodbye, Dr. Maxis.

The clock outside the facility slowly strikes 1:15, then stops. The area begins to snow. The view changes to a close-up of Edward Richtofen, wearing his World War II outfit, as he laughs maniacally.

Suddenly, a gun cocking sound is heard from behind him. He turns back and sees Tank Dempsey, in his World War I outfit.

Dempsey: This ain't funny, Doc.

From behind, Nikolai Belinski and Takeo Masaki, also wearing their WWI gear, step up. All three aim their guns at Richtofen.

Nikolai: Turn around.

Takeo: Slowly.

Richtofen slowly turns toward the three of them.

Richtofen: Do you know... who I am!?

Dempsey: Yeah, we know. That's why you'd better do exactly what we say.

Nikolai: A great evil approaches. There is a chain of events that must be set in motion.

The sound of zombies screaming outside catches the three's attention. Dempsey and Nikolai turn around, ready to face the horde.

Takeo: (to Richtofen) The future hangs by a thread. You must awaken the test subjects.

Nikolai stands guard near a barrier, while Dempsey readies his dual pistols. Takeo slowly draws his katana, still staring at Richtofen. The camera switches to shots of the teleporter behind Richtofen, then quickly turns black.

Zombies begin to break through the barrier, but are stopped by Nikolai, Dempsey and Takeo. Richtofen then begins to activate the teleporter.

Dempsey: Richtofen! Whatever you were thinking of doing... don't do it!

Nikolai: You do not want to meet what's on the other side of that door!

Takeo: You cannot begin to comprehend the great evil you could unleash!!

Richtofen ignores the three's warning, and pushes the button. The teleporter slowly opens, revealing a bright white light inside. He slowly steps forward the teleporter, his face showing excitement.

A figure then steps out of the teleporter, and is revealed to be another Richtofen, dressed in his World War I outfit. The WWII Richtofen takes off his hat, ready to greet the WWI Richtofen. WWI Richtofen quickly pulls out a gun and shoots WWII Richtofen in the head, killing him instantly.

Dempsey: Dammit Richtofen! I thought we were done with this!!

WWI Richtofen checks on WWII Richtofen's corpse.

WWI Richtofen: What can I say Dempsey? Things change.

Nikolai: Only a fool would dare to change history!

WWI Richtofen: I am no fool. What I do... I do only to secure a better tomorrow.

Dempsey: Yeah? Well, let's see if we live to see it.

As the zombie horde approaches the four heroes, they leap into the air and charge at the zombies. Takeo, leading in front, swings his katana at the screen, as it turns black.
