"Let the Final Nightmare Proceed..." (Terios, at the end of the introduction)

To think all this time, you actually thought that Conquest of the Judgment Emperor was the last of the main series? Baka! This one seems to be the final chapter, the ace in the hole, and last but not least, the end of all souls: Epic Saga IV... Ouroburos vs. Beecanoe! For release only for the GigaCom, this puts an end to the main series with a twist: in the end of the last Epic Saga storyline, Ouroburos, Dark Guy, Genius Guy, Dry Paratroopa, and many others celebrate with a grand feast over Emperor Shiroan's death, with Belphegor tortured by Galactic Petey. Along with them are the heroes, who they now have some newfound trust with! Beecanoe, shown off-screen, ends the celebration and brutally attacks Ouroburos! He drags him over to Beecanoe's throne room and whispers "Traitor" to him... While Epic Saga IV still has that Beat 'Em Up/RPG-hybrid gameplay, it evolves a little bit into the Fighting game genre (when it comes to boss battles, of course) over time. This entry to the series also is the first to have its very own soundtrack, made up of songs from famous titles such as Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Tekken 5... For mainstream and underground music, we have most likely heavy metal artists consisting of Pantera and Machine Head.

Characters[]

Ouroburos the Saurian: He is an icicle golem that originated from the now-deceased homeplanet Sauria, with a strong sense of honor, sympathy for others, independence, and strictness. Wanting to know what happened to him after the feast, it does not take long for the creature to realize that Beecanoe was the only one who still kept hatred for humanity... He is now a bitter enemy! Shortly after, Ouroburos's true memories are restored and now must have what it takes to bring back the existence of Sauria... But he must reason with his former comrade, Beecanoe, and also end Terios's reign! During gameplay, Ouroburos is a playable character alongside Beecanoe and Genius Guy, whom have separate storylines.

Beecanoe the Dry Bones: A Dry Bones that was once an evil Koopa Troopa working under Bowser. Beecanoe was responsible for assaulting Ouroburos during the celebration and now wanted answers to why his team would side with the heroes... Which he blames Ouroburos of, hence making the two bitter enemies! Beec is a little more aggressive, power-hungry, and arrogant in this story than he was previously... This mighty Dry Bones is playable, as well as the ice golem, Ouroburos and the mighty, intelligent Genius Guy #445.

Genius Guy: He is a member of Ouroburos's team, and the only one who sided with the latter when Beecanoe became enraged about the new alliance... Known famously (or 'infamously') for riding a hovercraft and having such an enormous power of intellect... You'd think there was a reason for his brain to be that huge! Genius Guy is a little more sympathetic here than he was in the previous titles (if I ever recall that, however) and actually has the same sort of heart the golem does... Genius is playable in Story Mode once you beat both of Ouroburos and Beecanoe's respective stories, with the latter's name in gameplay being referred to as "No. 445".

Terios: The main antagonist of Epic Saga IV. This shadowy figure is known as an ancient goddess who has lived for approximately five centuries, which is longer than the active years of Ouroburos, himself. Terios is mostly an incredibly emotionless individual who cares not about others (except Beecanoe at the time of entering the Netherworld and beyond, but then started not caring for him in the final part of the game) and even herself at times... Yet she has a ridiculous connection to the people of Sauria, as well as Sultan Penumbra. Also, Terios could be responsible for both erasing the original memories of Ouroburos and making Beecanoe turn into a heartless, insane bastard (Genius Guy's case in the story, anyway)... Fun fact: During or before debuting in Sonic Adventure 2, Shadow the Hedgehog would originally be given the name Terios, meaning reflection.

E.T.G.: E.T.G. is a human from an unknown land, where there are always ninja wars... And as you guessed, he's a ninja! However, he is cursed with a spell that makes him appear as a girl with a brash and aggressive, yet spirited attitude. While he does appear in Epic Saga IV, his backstory is rarely explained, nor can you really play as him. In Those Who Fight, however, E.T.G. gets a full backstory and playable appearance...
