Double Dragon III: The Rosetta Stone

There are two versions of the story in Double Dragon III: the American version follows the cliché plot of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress, with Marian being kidnapped yet again; the Japanese version is a pure martial arts quest—the brothers embark on a journey to find the Rosetta Stone in order to perfect their Double Dragon Fist. Comparatively, the Japanese version has a clearer main storyline and leaves more room for character development. The following outline is based on the Japanese version and incorporates recruitable companions. --- Novel Outline: Double Dragon III: The Rosetta Stone Core Theme: The cost of power and self-transcendence.
