                                                                        Ark of Yamato
The Ark of Yamato. The place was dark. Faint red light blowed from patterns on the walls. Five pathways stretched out from the hub of this level of the ship. Each path had a different glowing etching that looked familiar to the prince. But Vegeta just looked back at the closed door behind him. This was the first time he's done something completely on his own. He never felt so alone before and whined in sorrow. And then a voice.
Marco: "My goodness!"
To his left, a spirit. His name was Marco and he was one of the many Celestials that had died inside the ark.
Marco: "I can hardly believe it! My eyes may have been enveloped in darkness all this time, but I know when I see a divine being before me! Are you really Okami Amaterasu?!"
Vegeta: "No. I'm Vegeta. Her second born son."
Marco: "Ah yes! The chosen son of Okami Amaterasu. I, Marco, would like to welcome you on behalf of all Celestials!"
Vegeta: "Marco, where are we?"
Marco: "This is the inside of the dreaded ark which fell from the heavens. It's nothing like our wonderful home, the Celestial Plain. Alas, only my spirit remains in this world. It's been imprisoned here for many years. Perhaps it was my destiny."
Vegeta: "What am I suppose to do? I've never been on my own like this before. I feel so alone right now."
Marco: "You are never alone. Even in death, the spirits of we Celestials will be with you. The Dark Lord awaits for you above. But you must rid the ark of all evil first before you can face him. Each path will lead you to an enemy you've already faced before. Only when they've been cleared from existence, will you be ready to face the Dark Lord himself. I shall remain here until that moment comes."
Vegeta: "Ok."
Five enemies that he's already faced before. Now the symbols on the walls started to make sense. The first one on the far left was the one he chose to start with. The symbol was that of a canine with nine tails. As Vegeta approached the gate to a teleportation beam, the Celestial, Hakuba, sees Vegeta.
Hakuba: "Goodness! If I'm not mistaken... It's you, the son of our great mother, Okami Amaterasu! What is your name?"
Vegeta: "Vegeta."
Hakuba: "Ah, Vegeta! All my waiting under the dark, cold ice has paid off. We Celestials may have lost our physical form... But our spirits live on and are with you for all eternity!"
Vegeta: "Can you tell me what happened here? All that I know is from legends and what happened after my mother fell to this world with Orochi."
Hakuba: "We were heartbroken after the battle on the Celestial Plain, when your mother fell to this world with that monster. We managed to escape before it happened, but... Little did we know the tragedy that was about to befall us. After we ran away from the battle, we boarded the Ark of Yamato hoping to get away. But no longer after we set sail, countless monsters appeared from the depths of the ark. Having nowhere to run, all of us were devoured by the monsters. This ark, which was built by the lunar civilization, turned out to be a cargo ship designed to transport thousands of monsters. Not long after setting sail, the ark lost its rudder, and plummeted down to this world. The Celestials on board, each and every one of us, were slain. I don't know why the Moon Tribe built such a thing. But when the ark fell to this world and brought such tragedy... Well, it was nothing short of a disaster. Okami Vegeta... It seems that the ark has begun to move again after all this time. But this place is like a nest of dark beings. Please take care not to be sucked into the darkness."
After Hakuba finished, Vegeta headed into the teleportation beam to face his first opponent. His first was Ninetails! But Vegeta knew his weaknesses and what to avoid. He burned each tail, electrified his sword and cut down each separate forms of the tails until Ninetails fell to the saiyan's power once again! With Ninetails gone, Vegeta returned to the main room where Hakuba spoke to him for the last time.
Hakuba: "Okami Vegeta! It seems one of the dark beings has disappeared. When all of the evil power has left our midst, I'm sure the ark will return to the Celestial Plain. It seems the time has come for my spirit to take leave. It's brought joy to my heart to have met you before I depart. I hope that you will return to the Celestial Plain, Vegeta. And that you will bring light to this world once more."
And Hakuba's spirit faded, her spirit now finding peace. The half of the wall with Ninetails on it had turned blue, a sign that the evil was gone from there. The next place was marked by a bull with swords, and when Vegeta entered, he came face to face with Crimson Helm again. But a lot has changed since they last met. Vegeta's powers were stronger and Crimson Helm had no hope. After returning to the main hall, Vegeta headed to the next section marked with a spider. The Celestial, Sado, told our hero more about their tragic fate. Orochi was the one who had attacked the Celestial Plain and that the Moon Tribe had built the ark as a rescue boat at the start. Vegeta left to fight the evil in this section. The Spider Queen! So much stronger then the last time, Vegeta quickly dealt with her before returning to continue on his quest.
Sado: "Okami Vegeta! I sense the presence of someone here on the ark... Could it be that man from the Moon Tribe!? I can feel his pain, somewhere deep down inside this ark. Vegeta, you must save him without a moment's delay. You must stop the seeds of tragedy from being sown! In order for the evil in this world to be exercised, the sun god must return to the Celestial Plain. I pray that you will watch over the world from the heavens. And that you will bestow peace upon us all!"
And Sado's spirit moved on. The next path was marked with one Vegeta knew very well. A snake with eight heads.
Vegeta: "Let's see if third time's the charm, Orochi!"
All 8 of the monsters heads faced Vegeta. Like he's done twice already, Vegeta waited for the serpent to roar before he got him drunk. One by one each of the eight heads - fire, earth, poison, light, lightning, water, wind, and shadow, all came down before the great saiyan. Now only one more enemy awaited before Vegeta could face the Dark Lord himself. The last symbol was that of a people who had been impaled by multiple swords. There was only one enemy that looked like that in Vegeta's memory. Blight. At the entrance to his section, the Celestial, Azumi, waited. Azumi told Vegeta the rest of the story and now he nearly understood everything. Amaterasu and a man of the Moon Tribe fought Orochi together until that man prophesied that that Orochi could only be defeated by the chosen one. So Amaterasu descended to the mortal world to search for the chosen one while the man of the Moon Tribe evacuated the Celestial Plain onto the Ark of Yamato, not knowing that the Dark Lord and countless of other demons were hiding aboard. Orochi used Vegeta to spread his curse around the world through his second destruction to bring back powerful demons from the ark like Blight and Ninetails. Hearing that made Vegeta lower his head in grief. He had unknowingly spread the curse throughout Nippon upon defeating Orochi.
Vegeta: "*sigh* So it's my fault that so many lost their lives."
Vegeta pulled himself together as best he could. The best he could do now was to try and rid the world he loved of all evil which partially included himself for his past actions many years ago. He headed on and defeated Blight quickly, who was the easiest of all his enemies. Now all that remained was the Dark Lord himself.
Azumi: "Okami Vegeta... It has begun at long last... The waves of darkness have finally begun to roll. All this evil power... I cannot hold on much longer! Vegeta, there is one final thing I must tell you. The man of the Moon Tribe with the golden hair... I want you to tell him something. The Celestials will never forget how he fought alongside Amaterasu when Orochi attacked. We are forever grateful!"
And Azumi left this world for good.
Vegeta: "So the man of the Moon Tribe is here? But there's only one other person onboard with me..."
At the hub, a teleportation beam appeared in the center atop a pedestal. As Vegeta climbed the pedestal, Marco said his farewell. Now there was only one thing left to do, and Vegeta entered the beam that teleported him to the final battle.
