Soul Calibur  Namco1998Kilik was a member of the Ling-Sheng Su Temple. When the evil seed appeared, everyone inside it went insane and started killing each other.
Kilik remained barely affected, using his own inner strength and the Dvapara-Yuga. In his own self defense, Kilik killed many temple members, including his sworn sister Xianglian. He passed out and woke up with Edge Master, who explained about Soul Edge, and the evil that was inside of him.
Kilik set out on a quest to destroy Soul Edge.
Eventually, he come across an Indian port town, where Maxi's crew was being attacked by Astaroth and some monsters. Kilik helped out, but when one of the monsters stole Dvapara-Yuga, Kilik went insane and attacked Maxi.
Maxi managed to fight him off, but not before Astaroth killed the entire crew. Now that Maxi had nothing left, he decided to help Kilik destroy Soul Edge, with the intent of getting revenge on Astaroth.
The two continued their quest and met up with Xianghua, who had the third Ling-Sheng Su Temple treasure (But none of them knew it). She decided that since she was under orders to find Soul Edge, she would go along with the two men.
When the three reached Nightmare's stronghold, Astaroth was waiting for them. Maxi stayed behind to fight him while the others went ahead. Kilik fought Nightmare and won. When Inferno appeared, Kilik was too tired to fight it (or something), so Xianghua fought it instead. Before it attacked, Xianghua's Krita-Yuga became Soul Calibur, the good version of Soul Edge.
Xianghua won against Inferno, but Inferno, Soul Calibur, and Nightmare got sucked into a void.

SoulCalibur II  Namco2001[b]living weapons[/b] - the Soul Edge, though its nature in this capacity is a border case and mostly seen as such with Nightmare.***Raphael makes it to Nightmare in Ostrheinsburg Chapel, but he gets his ass handed to him. As Nightmare is standing over him, ready to finish him off, Siegfried decides that he's had enough. A nasty fight is taking place in Nightmare's mind. This buy's Raphael enough time to gather enough strength to attack and damage Soul Edge. This is enough for Siegfried to regain his mind.
He casts off his evil armour. Soul Calibur appears. Siegfried, sensing the energy from this new sword, thrusts it into Soul Edge. This, however, isn't enough to destory it. Only weaken it, and the swords merge together. Siegfried takes them both, with the intention of neutralizing and destroying Soul Edge.
Raphael somehow manages to make it home, where he is nursed back to health by Amy.
Meanwhile, the spirit of Soul Edge is driven from the sword. Needing a host, it desperately clings to Nightmare's armour, which is now laying on the floor of Ostrheinsburg Chapel. However, it is impossible for the spirit to manipulate an unliving suit of armour, so it is basically helpless on the floor.
Eventually, Zasalamel appears. Without speaking a word, the spirit and Zasalamel have a conversation. Zasalamel agrees to help the spirit, and creates a new body for it inside of the armour. This is the new Nightmare.
Siegfried senses this familiar energy reawakening. He now has two tasks.
To destroy the cursed sword Soul Edge, and to destroy the Azure Knight, Nightmare.
