Prince of Persia 2

CUT SCENE:
Inside an Arabic brothel or 'house of pleasure'(A luxurious setting). There are flowery drapes and ornate carvings along the interior, The Prince, walks along the path as alluring voices call out to him, he is enticed, but chooses to follow the corridor as if greater treasure await him the deeper he goes. The edges of the scene are blurry. You don't actually see anyone else but the Prince. Shadows of feminine shapes may appear behind the drapes.

Sample female Voices: "Prince, come here" "We've been waiting for you" "Hey, Handsome" "Come on in, we have everything you desire" Soothing music plays in the background.

PLAYER CONTROL:
The control is given to the player. Note: There is only one path for this tutorial mission.

Players will move the Prince down a corridor, on either sides are flowing drapery indicating openess, however the Prince will gravitate towards the paths, More walls will appear as he walks further and the voices and music will become quieter. It also becomes darker as the rooms are lit by lanterns and it becomes apparent that it is at night. The path has several right angle turns aimed at getting the player used to camera and character control.

Second Checkpoint: a shoulder height ledge. [Press X to Jump]
Onscreen notes (The Prince will hang on to any ledge, press up to climb up a ledge)
A few other obstacles block the Prince's way, another ledge, a beam, a pole. Finally he reaches the Wall Run section

Third Checkpoint: Wallrun section, [Press X to jump towards a wall]
Onscreen notes: (The Prince will wall run on any suitable surface when you jump towards it) At this section, the Prince is already well away from the 'brothel' section
The walls are slightly more bare, but clean, indicating that it belongs to someone wealthy. Small details of luxury like ornate lanterns or tapestry may appear. Finally the Prince approaches and faces a ledge against a wall. [Press R2 to release and Gripfall] The Prince finally lands near a doorway that leads to a garden.

OSN: (The Prince will grip and fall safely on any suitable surface)

CUTSCENE 2: The Prince walks into the Garden, it is raining heavily and windy but there is no lightning yet. There are several tall trees in the garden. The Camera pans towards one of the trees, the height is just right for it to be next to a balcony with an open window. This can be seen as the curtains are blowing out of the room.

The balcony looks strangely familiar to the Prince and he is drawn to it. He climbs the tree(pillar) nearest to it and leaps into the balcony. This scene is reminiscent of the first time 'Sands of Time Prince' meets Farah.

Camera points out from inside the room from a bed, in the shot is a sleeping figure on the bed and the shadowy figure of the Prince standing at the balcony (his scarf is flying with the wind) while the storm rages outside. The sleeping figure stirs...

Prince: Elika?

A bolt of lightning streaks across the sky, everything brightens up and the camera zooms into the Prince's eyes as they widen.

CUTSCENE 2A: The Prince opens his eyes widely
Prince (screaming): Elika!!

Scene: it is a dark dungeon and the Prince is in a cell, there is only a cot in the cell, The cell is longer than it is wide, and several of the rocks are portruding from the walls, there is also some old and destroyed woodwork above the high ceilings of the cell. The Prince is wearing different clothes, but his scarf has been cut and it is frayed at the end. The Prince has also lost his Gaunlet and is without the ability to Gripfall or gain height as he jumps towards a wall.

The Camera cuts to the outside, there is some fighting going on, the Corrupted soldiers are fighting some Human soldiers out side the Fort/Castle. A flamethrowing Corrupted simultaneously takes out a group of Persian? Soldiers while setting much of the place on fire, arrows shot into any of the Corrupted get absorbed and shot back as flaming arrows. The Human side is slowly but steadily being pushed back, the place is burning to the ground. Some of the fire manages to burn part of the wall off the high part of the opposite cell, a hole appears giving the Prince a chance to escape.

PLAYER CONTROL:
Either allow the player to climb up through the several ledges around the cell or introduce a Walljump mechanic for the lower part of the the cell before expanding to a wider ceiling area where the Prince can perform the Roofrun. The Prince can then move across to the opposite cell to access the hole.

END OF TUTORIAL SECTION

I have some more ideas about the general outline of the story and where it goes, although I have no doubt that Ubisoft has already got a pretty solid outline for PoP 2, this is just a fun thing for me to do.

This is the world a few years after the Ending of PoP1, at this point in time, the Prince and Elika have been separated for sometime but unknown to them both, they are in the same city, one of the last few cities that have withstood the Arihman's invasion. The Prince as his usual dastardly devil self has finally been caught for stealing/tomb raiding/fighting. Elika appears to have joined the harem of the Sultan of the land or is a guest/prisoner of the King. Her powers as an Ahura are greatly appreciated and she is used as a weapon or kept as a prisoner to trade with Ahriman.

The Prince will find his Gaunlet, throw away his scarf, rescue Elika, they will have a tense but respectful relationship, they will hold each other more and in one of the boss fights, Elika will be separated from the Prince, guess the right Elika through clues and you get the Good Ending, guess the wrong one and you get the Bad Ending. They still won't kiss. They will travel around the massive city and heal the fertile lands thereby making it a safe haven for people. The Prince is still a charming rogue in PoP2 but more open and vulnerable around Elika. He also helps enough people in the city that they actually recognise him and wish to reward/assist him again in the future. In PoP 3, they go into the heart of Arihman's twisted new capital and seek to defeat him and heal the fertile lands again. Will Elika die again this time? Or will Orzmand finally show up and grant the Prince a boon?
