Alrighty guys. This is it...the review you've been waiting for...Cipher Crusade 2 and take not that I'll be doing this in SomeCallMeJohnny's style of reviewing unlike the last time. This is a huuuuuuge interactive,adventure drama movie that I'll have to go in depth to get to the meat and cheese of the content. With that said,let's begin,shall we?  2:28 please and thanks..that line only.

The beginning of the movie greets us with a new and improved logo for ZMediaProductions that featured Dr Menace from MenaceofGames,Sean Basinger from VibraniumProductions a.k.a the Fox in the Fedora and fightingleaf and Husky the wolfhand. This shows
that this time,they ain't messing aroun',they meant business. Also added in are the Fox in the Fedora logo which is adorable and star2behold's logo which is movie-esque. They are fantastic.

The movie then begins with yellow text which is surprisingly dull considering how big the movie is supposed to be. Take a look at TeamFourStar's Return of Cooler Abridged here:  2:06 please but it is understandable because they are making the movie outta they're free time so I'll let it pass. The movie has a scene of a crow which gives the ominous feeling to it which can be described by its accompanying music piece and a view of the planet Earth itself. We are then greeted by the Narrator who is M.D/Mister Director who was the cool character I mentioned in the Guardians of Avalon review I did back before who told us a tale of a demigod named Xavier whom alongside his father: Archimedes ruled Avalon after the war between humans and monsters. (I told you people about Xaver's backstory so please check that out. I'm not repeating it.) The way he spoke here at 1:57:  is awkward. I know he wants to have a booming and very intimidatingly scary voice buuuuuut it didn't work which is a minor gripe to the prologue narration soooo I'll let it pass. The narration only goes through Xavier's immortality state and banishment so there's nothing to lose.

Onwards to Part 1: 

We All Fall Down

Remember the ending to Crusaders Adventures Ep. 11? Well,the intro segways us to Sean's house,presenting us the time and place of where the event took place like Sonic Adventure 2 which was a decent game. Sean,informed by Waverly Wednesday,was told that the Congregation of Fear or C.O.F was terminated by an unknown source that left their Secret HQ demolished and painted with blood all over. Sean finds it hard to believe that it would take someone of pure power to take down 2 powerful villains as he mocked the Ghoul's incompetence which is hilarious to be honest. Stephanie then gave a photo by Waverly's Wednesday group of what happened outside of the C.O.F's fortitude before the event struck and it happens to have a crow with a glowing red eye. This prompts Sean to tell Stephanie about the legend that their grandmother foresaw in a journal she wrote long ago involving 7 heroes destined to destroy a god who is being manipulated by a demon from hell who represents a crow which stands for a deceiver to the god. It also states that 3 heroes will die in the legend foretold which Stephanie calls bullshit. Suddenly,a man with a golden mask appeared,stating that he wants the journal but through a harsh battle,Sean was nowhere to be seen,leaving Stephanie in tears.

Meanwhile,Prof. Cabbage alerts fightingleaf that Righteousness energy was found in Sean's home,leaving the hybrid ninja pondering if Sean had the potential to do so which left him worried and suspicious. He sends out Rugburn to investigate the scene immediately but not until Cabbage gives him a....toaster. You'll find out soon enough. While Cabbage and leaf ponder about Sean's power mystery,Jerry barged in and unaware of the situation. The same man with golden mask appears and stated that he wants leaf's right-hand wolf 'Husky' which left everyone puzzled as to why someone wanted him to begin with. After a battle with the man while in his Shining form,fightingleaf lost.

Cut to Menace Manor and Dr Menace's comrades gathered around with the exception of ol' man Nixon as they fit the pieces on the energies around leaf and Sean's homes and the mysterious Righteous energy that made up Dr Menace's Keyblade. Dr Menace wastes no time and activate security measures to prevent any danger in his territory but it was in vain as the Golden mask man appears behind him. Dr Menace stalls the menace until his keyblade finally shows up. This turned to the gold mask's advantage as he proclaims himself to be 'Xavier,son of Archimedes' whom his father found Avalon,an island of mythical monsters which Menace finds it staggering to understand. Xavier then rips his soul in order to 'remove the keyblade's bond with him' and spares Jason's life. Menace Manor's self destruct sequence activated in hopes to remove Xavier but a black portal appears before Jason,taking his life which shocked Xavier. Xavier promised to keep Jason alive which his slave,Malphas did not get the memo. They escaped the exploding mansion but as soon as they were about to depart from their destination,Nixon arrives too late as he sees the bodies of Menace and Jason laying on the ground while Jason dies a slow and sad death.

Deep in a cave,a young woman with purple hair consulted her guardian in the form of a bird what to do in order to combat Xavier. Her guardian told her to join others and Nixon to combat him. With those words in mind,she sets off. Fast forward to the island of Avalon,deep in the council chambers,Sabelina requested both Alexis and Connor there so they could plan the next move of attack against Xavier with M.D,a pirate,his trusty sidekick..sort of named Beth...Luna and Alari,the new member of the Crusaders. M.D has a plan of his own...

Sean did a very good job on being the worried man and revealing the journal to his sister made him all the more mysterious in a sense. Of course,he did fought demons and the Master before which made him incredible in a sense. Fighting Zeth Zamora makes you wonder why Zeth fought Sean to begin with. This was the reason. So there was no doubt that Zeth really had that same journal back in his dimension,felt mad for not obtaining it and wanted Sean to unleash this 'Righteousness energy' he wanted so badly. Crazy stuff.

Stephanie did do a fine job buuut the part where she was saying 'Whaaaaaat?' in a 'Oh yeah. I saw this one coming.' kinda felt forced but the part where she finds out her brother died by Xavier was really sad. Makes you wanna hug her.

fightingleaf and his team did a good job too.

Dr Menace did a ace job as well but the scene where Jason dies needed to be more sad and Jason needed to...you know,look like he was stabbed in the heart like 'Urgh...ugh...Ni..xon!!' Nixon also needed to look sad too.

The mysterious character with purple hair does a fine job too.

The villains are the ace in the hole as Xavier only needed to kill the main three Crusaders to fulfill his plans,everyone else can live and he does feel like he did a mistake when Jason got killed by the mysterious Malphas. Xavier does ponder whether it is right or not to kill since his journeys which is deep.

Avalon creatures are A-ok and Luna is convincing as an annoying dragon since she's voiced by Stephanie. No offence,Steph. The only one who has the most out of place voice is of course,Sabelina..it doesn't work for someone of high authority. That stll bugs me till this day.

So overall,this first episode is really well done,much better than Might Gaine's will ever be so I'll leave it up to you if it's great or not.

Next up,Walkabout.
