Soul Calibur 2

It was seven years earlier that Cassandra witnessed a mysterious Asian woman bring Sophitia back and draw out shards of the evil sword out of her sister's flesh while treating her wounds.

Therefore, when Sophitia disappeared again a few years later, Cassandra was certain that her sister had left to contend with Soul Edge once more.

One day, after running errands for her family's bakery, Cassandra visited Sophitia's home. There she saw a familiar metal shard. It was undoubtedly a fragment of Soul Edge.

Angered by her sister's panicked reaction to the world, Cassandra ran to the Hephaestus Shrine.

"Why are you doing this to my sister? How can you claim to be an almighty God? Answer me!" Cassandra screamed.

Her voice reverberated throughout the desolate hallowed grounds. Cassandra collapsed on the floor, worn out from shouting. It was then that she saw the metal fragment resonating with the holy sword blessed by Hephaestus.

She realized then that Soul Edge was still alive. But she could not allow her sister to carry the burden any longer.

Around this time when light began to filter in from the eastern skies, the holy weapon disappeared from the temple.

Soul Calibur 3

Determined to destroy Soul Edge on behalf of her sister, Cassandra left her home. In the mountains to the east, she happened upon a city where the residents had lost their minds from the effects of evil energy.

"What's going on?" The fragment she held reacted strongly to this place. Soul Edge was somehow involved in this bizarre phenomenon. She made up her mind to free the city.

"My sister was able to do it... I can, too!" She said to herself. But then something unexpected occurred -- cracks appeared in the sword and shield she had taken from the temple of Hephaestus.

Feeling deeply apprehensive, there was nothing Cassandra could do but to flee the city. She felt completely helpless -- she may have used her sword and shield a bit roughly, but she couldn't believe that arms made from holy ore could be damaged.

As she gazed at her damaged sword and shield, the image of her sister and her young niece and nephew flashed through the back of her mind. Her sister smiled happily, leading her children by the hand...

"No... I can't give up." Cassandra's eyes shone once again with determination. She returned to Greece to consult with her blacksmith brother-in-law, Rothion. Unexpected new was waiting for her upon her return home... however.

During Cassandra's absence, Sophitia had once again set out on a journey to destroy Soul Edge.

"Damn you, Haphaestus! This is all your fault!", Cassandra cursed to herself, though she didn't consider her sister having regained her previous strong will to be completely bad news. She had to help her sister. She would stand by her and support her.

After receiving a new sword and shield from Rothion, Cassandra set out with a pure purpose in her heart, with the early dawn's soft light shining upon her back.

Soul Calibur 4

Cassandra set out once again for the town she had visited before in Eastern Europe, hoping to find more clues that would lead her to Soul Edge, but as she hurried through the night, a man appeared before her. His eyes were stained red. She was reminded of the story she had heard about a swordsman who had led the mad townsfolk.

"You have a piece of Soul Edge, don't you? I can feel it," the man said, and in an instant he was upon her. After a hard fight, she was able to finally land a blow on her assailant, but he only sneered at Cassandra and vanished. "So, woman. You can ward off evil, though not as strong as the Holy Stone. Interesting. I'll let you live for now."

"You're going to run?! You coward!"

A laugh echoed around her. "I already have what I came for." Panicked, Cassandra searched her tunic but the fragment of the cursed sword was gone.

Unerved at first, Cassandra pushed those unhelpful feelings down and headed for the town where she discovered some townslfolk still retained their sanity. In fact, they had been healed by a shining blue crystal. Could it be the Holy Stone the swordsman had mentioned? She set out to learn more, and then a rumour caught her attention. A man carrying a mass of crystal as tall as himself was on his way to Ostrheinsburg. If the crystal he bore had the power to smite evil, then that could only mean some evil presence lurked in the ruined castle there. Was it Soul Edge?! Cassandra decided to follow the man to Ostrheinsburg and find out.
