Story Mode:

Intro Cutscene:

(We treated with a landscape of the highlands of Scotland. We then cut to a pleasant village where we see Wallace farming in the fields.)
-Wallace: "The fields sure aren't gonna harvest themselves."
-Wife: "That's about alot of crop handling there is gonna be."
-Wallace: "Yeah."
(All of a sudden, an army of English soldiers come in to attack everyone in the village, much to Wallace's horror.)
-Soldier: "Surrender to the Longshanks regime or die!"
-Villager: "AAAAAHHH!!!"
(As the slaughtering goes on, we see King Edward Longshanks arrive at the village. Longshanks has a dark brown pointed beard, a bald head, brown eyes, and he's wearing armor, a red cape, and a silver crown.)
-Longshanks: "Make way for King Edward Longshanks the I! Anyone who dares to oppose me will suffer dire consequences, most likely death!"
(Longshanks stumbles upon a crying little boy mourning for his slaughtered parents. He holds the boy up in anger.)
-Longshanks: "Stop your crying, you little shit!"
(After throwing the crying child onto a nearby fire that was caused by the mass destruction, Longshanks orders two of his men to hold Wallace's wife hostage. Wallace comes to stop him but Longshanks pushes him aside as he walks towards Wallace's wife.)
-Longshanks: "I will let you live you swear loyalty to me."
-Wife: "I will never swear loyalty to you! No one in Scotland wants to!"
-Wallace: "You leave my wife alone!"
-Longshanks: *punches Wallace to the ground* "Beat it, you nuisance! So anyways, if you won't surrender to the Longshanks regime, I guess it is time for plan B."
-Wife: "AAAAAIIIIIIIIIIII!!!"
-Wallace: "NOOOOOOOOO!!!"
(Longshanks takes an axe and splits the wife in half with it.)
-Wallace: "NOOOOOO!!! FUCK YOU, LONGSHANKS!!!"
-Longshanks: "KILL HIM!!!"
(As Wallace runs towards Edward Longshanks, the soldiers try to stop him, but he just wouldn't give up. He kept resisting to the point where the soldiers decided that halting him is no use.)
-Longshanks: "You know what, forget about Wallace. We'll fight him another day."
(The carnage throughout the village goes on for 5 more seconds until we see Wallace, kneeling, grieving for his homeland.)
-Wallace: "This... is a travesty. My people, my land, all taken over by a cruel English tyrant. I will put an end to Edward Longshanks." *gets up* "I will lead my country to freedom from his reign, only then will Scotland suffer no more!"
(We cut to a forest the next day where Wallace is encouraging the surviving villagers, as well as villagers from other districts in Scotland, to start a revolution against Edward Longshanks and his men and free Scotland from his tyranny.)
-Wallace: "And this is why we must stand up against King Edward Longshanks."
-Random villager #1: "I know. He and his men have been harassing my village for too long."
-Random villager #2: "He took everything form me. He killed my wife and kids."
-Random villager #3: "Longshanks must be stopped."
-Wallace: "Indeed. We shall rise up and free Scotland from his tyranny. It'd gonna take alot of strength and courage to stand up against Edward Longshanks and his army."
(The camera rotates upward to the sky.)

Prologue:

Scotland, a land home to the great highlands, has come under attack by a cruel and sadistic monarch king named Edward Longshanks. Longshanks wanted to take over the region, led his men to attack local villages, forcing those to submit to King Edward or die by the sword. One landowner named William Wallace has witnessed the horrors that were going on against his people and his home as well. With his family killed by English soldiers, no longer would he stand idly by and let the Longshanks reign walk all over his country. It was then that Wallace went from a simple landowner to a fierce warrior, a Highlander, out to fight for his country's freedom.

Rival Cutscene:

(Scene takes place in a circular arena surrounded by mountains, skulls, and crooked pillars with pointy ends and the sky is covered in clouds with colors ranging from grey to blackish blue. Wallace rides his horse onto the circle and gets off of it.)
-Wallace: "I will find the Sphere of Wonders and it will help me in my quest to free Scotland from Longshanks."
-???: "Excuse me."
(Hiroshi Masaru also rides his horse to the circle and gets off of it.)
-Hiroshi: "Sorry to intrude, but may I get to the Sphere of Wonders?"
-Wallace: "What do you need the Sphere of Wonders for?"
-Hiroshi: "I must bring the sphere over to my emperor!"
-Wallace: "And why would he need the artifact?"
(Hiroshi extends his naginata towards Wallace.)
-Hiroshi: "My emperor has a shogunate regime to overthrow. Now bring me the sphere!"
-Wallace: "You're going to have to be more specific about this shogunate and how much of a big threat it is..."
(Wallace twirls his sword before going to battle position.)
-Wallace: "I need the sphere so I may win a battle against the forces of King Edward I!"
-Hiroshi: "You'll have to find another way to win that battle. My emperor wants to bring back imperial rule!"

Final Boss Cutscene:

(After defeating Hiroshi, Wallace sees the fabled Sphere of Wonders and walks towards it, only to be carried over to Hell. Wallace is greeted by Belial.)
-Belial: "Are you looking for the Sphere of Wonders?"
-Wallace: "Yes, yes I am! You must be the devil!"
-Belial: "The devil known as Belial! If you are desperate enough for that damn artifact, you might as well fight me for it."
-Wallace: "Fair enough! Only then will I bring down Edward Longshanks for his oppressive nature against my land and my people! He will be brought to justice and so will his men!"
(Belial starts dreaming about how he'll get to torture Edward Longshanks shall Wallace kill him in battle. We see Belial in the dream sequence grabbing a naked Longshanks in the outer ring of Hell's Seventh Circle.)
-Longshanks: "Where the bloody fuck am I?"
-Belial: "You are in Hell, my friend. This is where those who've committed unnecessary acts of violence end up, you are one of those people, and so are your men, who have murdered, raped, and sacked everything in Elderslie." *lifts Edward by his neck* "You will now join them in Hell!"
(Belial throws Longshanks into the river known as Phlegethon. Longshanks begins to rise up as a bloody skeleton, screaming for his life while his men, who happen to have gone to Hell also, burn with him. He tries to crawl out of the river.)
-Belial: *turns around* "STOP HIM!!!"
(A centaur-like guardsman clad in red armor, a horned helmet, and legs that look like a mix of horse legs and dragon legs, shoots an arrow at the burnt Longshanks hand, piercing it to the ground. Belial kicks Longshanks back into the river.)
-Belial: "You will not be crawling your ass out of the river this time around."
-Wallace (v/o): "Belial? BELIAL?!?"
(Cut back to Wallace and Belial. Belial opens up from his daydreaming and goes back to paying attention to Wallace.)
-Belial: "Oh, I'm sorry. It's just that the fact that you want to kill King Edward Longshanks just had me thinking... You know what, I'll let you have the Sphere of Wonders!"
(Belial summons his trident Nequitius into the scene.)
-Belial: "But as I said before, you'll have to fight me, first! Only then, will you have the Sphere of Wonders."

Ending:

(Belial is destroyed and the Sphere of Wonders is now free for Wallace to access.)
-Wallace: "Now with the devil out of the way, I will get to the sphere. Sphere of Wonders, help me and my Scottish men have the strength and courage to defeat the evil reign of Longshanks."
(After making a wish, Wallace cuts the sphere in half. The scene cuts to the Highlands of Scotland with Wallace's army standing as Wallace gives a speech before battling Longshank's army.)
-Wallace: "Sons of Scotland, I am William Wallace! As we are about to face against our oppressors, we will fight as free warriors! We will come close towards our enemies and tell it in their faces that they may take our lives, but they shall never take OUR FREEDOM!!!"
*Highlanders cheering*
(Wallace and his men and King Edward Longshanks and his men charge against each other in combat. That brutal and bloody battle (a la 300) goes on for 30 seconds and King Longshanks is the last man of his regime in the battlefield alive. Wallace walks up to the kneeling tyrant.)
-Wallace: "Any last words, Longshanks?"
-Longshanks: "You will not get your freedom so long as I am here to rule over you! You might as well give up!"
-Wallace: "Never."
(Wallace splits Longshank's head in half and kicks his corpse to the ground. His soldiers stands besides Wallace.)
-Wallace: "Highlanders, we have won the victory against the vile, tyrannical King Edward Longshanks and his army! Scotland is now given its freedom back!"
(Wallace raises his sword up in the air and all of his soldiers who were left alive cheer in celebration of their victory. The scene cuts to two swords clashing eachother to form an X in front of a shield that fades to existence, followed by the text "EPIC BLADES" emerging from behind the shield, followed by the credits with a montage of character renders and screenshots from each character's story mode as well as Sevendust's "Corrected" playing throughout.)
That's right, this is William Wallace! The braveheart! The highlander! The fucked-in-the-head drunkard Mel Gibson...

...OK, disregard the Mel Gibson part, eventhough he did play Wallace in the movie Braveheart. But we're talking about the Epic Blades version of Wallace, not his movie counterpart. In fact, Mel Gibson's not even voicing Wallace here. Kyle Hebert is. Yes, THAT Kyle Hebert, the man known for voicing Kamina, Ryu and Jarvan IV, is the one voicing the Wallace in Epic Blades!

Anyways, Wallace's story is much like his movie counterpart. The English army are a bunch of iredeemable meanies, Wallace loses his wife, he and other Scottish villagers rise up against the tyrant King Edward I, the only difference however is that in the ending, Wallace actually wins against Edward Longshanks rather than ending up being executed by him like in both the film about him and in real life. Then again, this is alternative history so what do you expect?
