Siegfried and Nightmare fought at the Cathedral with Taki as witness. The battle released strong energies that destroyed the place, Taki barely survived. Sieg was almost killed but SC saved him by bonding with his soul. Nighty almost fell apart, but escaped into Oshtreinsburg.
Back on home, he restored his faux body. The energy released in the fight spread over the world and awoke all shards of the sword, which flew back toward the castle in a rain of light, making SE "technically" complete (Asty has his shard still inside, and Maxi may too). Taki wants to stop the new confrontation between SC and SE, thought, having realized the danger it represents.
Tira - Sent her crows to gather warriors to help protect SE.
Voldo - Answered the call. Was deceived by SE to serve him under the guise of Vercci.
Astaroth - Invited by Tira as well. Accepts since he wants strong souls to grow in strength and defeat Ares.
Cervantes - Absorbed souls and created a fleet of ghost pirates. Let his SE to fuse with the main one so he can get the whole thing in one swoop.
Ivy - Told by someone (apparently Edgemaster) that she can't use SC's power. Tried to make an Homunculus to do it, but was attacked by Cervantes and most of her soul stolen. She takes the artificial soul she was making to survive instead. But she knows it won't last long.
Mi-na - Told Yun about SE being evil. Also learned from Talim that there's an "opposite" to SE. She's interested by this.
Talim has been seeing an illusion of Soul Calibur in her dreams frequently (this started in SC3). Its when she sees "objects flying to the west" (which are shards of the sword, gathered by Nightmare to make SE complete again) is when she realizes the sword's strength getting way out of wack.
Yoshimitsu's gathering the whole Manjitou for a great-scale strategy against Soul Edge and Rock has been pwned HARD by Astaroth while he was crossing the Alps. He barely survived, and now tracks the rock golem into Oshtreinsburg.
Yun - Even after Mi-na told him, he still wants to see it for himself. Bumped into Hwang as well, who told him the same, but he's still wanting to see it for himself.
Cass - Fought Raphael and lost the shard of SE she got. Later heard about the couple healing people in his town, and went looking for them. Ended following Sieg, believing SC is Dvapara-Yuga.
Raph - Found a tribe that claims to have been the protectors of SC. Now believes SC will give him the power to create a world for Amy.
Soph - Discovered her daughter can't survive without SE's aura. Destroying SE means her death.
Maxi - Met with Kilik and X and recovered memories, but left them due to his body having a shard of SE. Later Tira told him that only SE can give him an edge against Asty.
Kilik - Wants to become the "mediator" between SE and SC to keep their powers at check. Wants to not involve X in that, so he has not tell her his plans.
X - Wants to stop Maxi from using SE for his revenge, apparently.
Zas - After seeing a vision of the future, has changed his mind: now he wants to stay immortal and see that future.
Mitsu - Still looking for a good battle. Defeated Greed and Miser in the meantime.
Liz - His soul seems to have been tainted, so he's back to his old animal self, and back as the head of a Liz unit.
Amy - Nothing new from her SC3 profile. Seeks Raph.
Hilde - After a meeting with Sieg, thinks its a good opportunity to lead an attack against Nightmare.
In short, everyone's gathering at Oshtreinsburg for the Ultimate Battle of Ultimate Destiny!
ai, kẻ nào 
...kiểu ko có SE là con nó chết cũng như Amy phần 3..lên núi thỉnh thầy Kilik về abc là xong chứ gì
