"I’m offering you my pain. My blood. My pleasure. I’m offering you the right to whip and defile me with your heart's content. To debase and harm me with all your cruelty and coldness, because this is what I love in you. I’m offering to fight your needs with my own to see you happy. I’m willing to join you in the darkness and find pleasure in excruciating pain with you. Eternally bitting ourselves in pleasure. I’m willing to be your monster and your Angel of Guard."

Summary
'Have you ever stopped to think how a story would be if the point of view of the world changed? Instead in focusing in the old and classic POV of the heroes, why not show how the things happens in the eyes of the villains? Not only that, have you ever thought how even the heroes can be seen as the "evil" characters if they are show playing on the other side of the screen?'

<p style="text-align:center;">'Mina Harker is the new President of Stabilization Union and the director of STAR LABS that quickly turned the entire planet in a hellish dystopia where people started to kill each other in paranoia. Are you human or a demon? After many challenges and fights to defeat a so-called Manufacturing Progressive Sciences, Mina proceeds to spread her Anti-Demon Campaign to Europe and Asia.

Lyrics
Come over here beside me. My restraint crumbles. Don’t fear me.

A flightless bird dreamed of the sky. The color mixing there is a different kind of red.

I covered my ears to the sound of knocking on my door. Is that you knocking? Or is it some other? Will your lips taste the kiss of death?

Darling, fate runs through my veins As this world begins to move …is it love? I want to melt like no one has before, Darling. So don’t fear me, just kiss me now!

I want to taste you …does that make me weird? It’s something we’re unable to feel all alone.

Embracing one another will keep our wounds sealed, So I’ll seal your breath with my lips. Will your lips taste the kiss of death?

Darling, what is this melting feeling I feel From the beating of my heart to the tips of my fingers? Hey… Come over here beside me. My restraint crumbles. So don’t fear me, just kiss me now, my love!

I felt something like the moment of death With your taste. Did your lips taste the kiss of death?

Darling, fate runs through my veins As this world begins to move …is it love? I want to melt like no one has before, Darling. So don’t fear me, just kiss me now!

The Purge


'(???): Demons. A demon is a supernatural and often malevolent being prevalent in religion, occultism, literature, fiction, mythology and folklore. Such creatures have many forms and appearances with different roles and powers. Some take form of pale humanoid creatures to scary humans while some take forms of beautiful humans to seduce and dominate their victims.'



'(???): For many, angels and demons does not exist because humans represent both entites: good and evil. Well, most believe they exist and bring misery and suffering to the world by corrupting the most important thoughts of a person. But I can ensure you, there are no demons controlling humans.'



'(???): This is a story of a long-lost magician who lost her way in a distant past. A magician who witnessed the rise of evil and good many times across the decades. Compared to what many other creatures and people who lived for centuries prior by birth, what I saw was nothing. Yet, all numerous incidents that I saw with very own eyes changed the way of how I look to the world. My name is Selina Strawberry, formerly a magician... Now, I'm just mere dead flower standing on the middle of a new era that was not to suppose to allow me to exist. But here I am.'

<p style="font-size:150%;font-family:Times;padding:3px;border-radius:3ex;text-align:center;">'Selina: I had many downfalls and I lost many friends that I loved in the past. Friends. Family. Allies. Luckily, most of them were brought back from the dead due to... Greater forces. The difference is that back then we had enough informations and allies to fight back. Find our proper place in this plane of existence. In this timeline. But everything changed decades later when THEY arrived.'



'Selina: Despite my look I'm American. I was born almost 50 decades ago in my hometown, Sleepy Hollow. I'm too young to have 50-years old? Quite. Yet I managed to keep my youth thanks to the virus living in me. Yes, I'm immortal. I'll not lie, living forever is good and a joy to witness the world changing. But... Do you know how is terrible and awful to continue living forever while the people you love just pass away without nothing left. It's beautiful to last forever but it's also a curse'.



'Selina: Born in a rich family is not a bless. I can tell you this. Once you're born in one of the oldest families of Sleepy Hollow. It was always my destiny to fight against the forces of evil that stalking my beloved land, Sleepy Hollow. The evil was everywhere, and it was not only in me town where a Demon King named Moloch was preparing his path to rise. Watching the world be plunged into new civil wars, conflicts and genocides forced me to take actions to save the world and humanity.'



'Selina: Despite my efforts to prevent his rise, Moloch still won the war through many machinations and powerful minions that appeared one after another. Seven years. In 2013, Moloch put the entire world in his hands for seven years, turning all governments of the world into one totalitarian government with one person as the center of all law, power and justice. Seven years of Hell. We called it the Period of Tribulations.'



'Selina: However, not all hope was lost. The rise of the Anti-Christ and Devil on Earth by different names surely caused harm and permanent damage to all lives in this world. However, despite all suffering THEY endures, nothing could stop them from fighting back this great evil. Some people say it takes armies to take down a tyrannical government but I believe you don't need man-power to defeat a dictator. You only need a small group of people with talent and determination not only to overthrow a empire but to free an entire timeline of oppression and cruelty. I know them, and I'm glad I could serve alongside them. We brought the light back to the world was we defeated Moloch and his army with many great losses and experiences that we will never forget. We thought the fight was over... We were wrong...'



'Selina: Let's talk about my affiliation? Because it's through them that you will under how important our role was to Sleepy Hollow. I was once the top leader of Order of Flourish, an organization that was created by a person named Lord Helio and took control of the entire Sleepy Hollow after the missing of Katrina Crane, the last known Van Tassel Heritage. We controlled the town of Sleepy Hollow for more than two centuries ever since our foundation. Our mission was to protect this town no matter. '



' Selina: Funny, huh? I was naive and too innocent to understand what was happening around me. The Order of Flourish had its main objective as a mere façade to hide the true intentions of our leader, Lord Helio. He never had intentions to protect Sleepy Hollow like I did. Not to mention, we had a PLENTY of ROTTEN people inside of our ranks. We were corrupt all along. I saw monsters inside of humans. No--Over the years I learned that even demons and monster can't compete with our ability to do evil. Humans are more cruel than any other race I know. Saying that commiting genocide for fun is too fictional is almost like an offense to mankind itself. EVERYTHING is possible. Humans are worse than monsters. '



'Selina: The more I learned about the organization the more I how disgusting humans can be. We had greedy, perverted and repulsive people working with me all along and I never had the chance to notice this. I was kitten on the middle of feral panthers.'



'' Selina: After many years, with the help of the Witness I finally freed the Order of Flourish from the claws of those monsters. It was because of them that I could find my true path of hope and light again. Without them I could probably be one of those nasty creatures I used to call as "partners". Pale and thin rats in human skin. I was saved by them. To repay their help I vowed my life to rebuild what was destroyed by the past generation of the Order of Flourish with all my might. ''



'Selina: The Order of Flourish had contacts all over Sleepy Hollow but after many years I decided to break those ties with the purpose of getting rid of all power we once held to rebuild our new reign using righteous and democratic ways. As such I got rid of all magic books related to dark magic that we used for our own selfish purposes. This was the first step to clean the name of the Order.'



'Selina: However, I noticed something... Without the Order of Flourish commanding the government of the town many corrupt politicians from other American states popped out in our territory like freaking blood-suckers. Our town became a money-bag for scumbags from the current federal government to put their hands on.'



'Selina: By pure luck or miracle, the American federal government was locked down when a new worldwide econimic organization known as Global Pact Defense (GPD) was founded and took control of all sectors in the country. One by one, the rats in our town were arrested and sent to jail. I'm happy that this happened before I could use extremist methods to get rid of them.'



' Selina: However, I was being naive again just like when I joined the Order of Flourish. The GPD was nothing but a lie. The roots of its ideology was actually domination of natural resources and not peaceful. They were like false salviors. Fufufu! What do you expect of politicians? However, everything they did so far did no harm to us. Yet, they would one become the root of our deaths. '



' Selina: Due to how closed the Order of Flourish was at the year of 2010s we never bothered with what was happening on the other side of the planet. At that time, an ancient corporation composed by racial white-supremacists known as KnightWalker Family was about to change the history of the world forever... For the next decades would be filled with blood, fear and worldwide wars. And so that happened... An european-monarchical country known as Fiore Kingdom was destroyed by a super-weapon of mass destruction made by an insane woman who used to work to Global Pact Defense. And this where the history of our downfall advance to its second phase. '



'Selina: The attack to Fiore Kingdom ignited the Cold War II that would soon become a worldwide civil war and finally a World War. Fearing the power of the KnightWalker Family and seeing other nations allying themselves with those jerks, the Global Pact Defense mounted its first personal sub-military organizations with the purpose of defending America continent from foreign forces. At that point, it was more than evident that the federal government was aware about the existence of supernatural threats thanks to the many incidents happening around Sleepy Hollow and so Anti-Magic organizations were founded and sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate about our past.'



' Selina: In my own arrogance, I thought I got rid of all evidences about the existence of Order of Flourish. At that time, I thought I did a great choice of cleaning up the libraries, shops, houses and mansions of all of Order of Flourish's pieces left behind. But I forgot completely about the magic artifacts left behind by Moloch and his group of minions. I was too focused in my own footprints that I totally forgot about the footprints of my past enemies. '



'Selina: Even if they had not discovered the existence of the Horsemen of Apocalypse and Order of the Blood Moon the town itself don't have a very nice normal history. In our history books many supernatural incidents related to the expansion and development of the city is completely erased from the books. You can't simply hide facts about the history of a country, state or town that easily. Using magic and otherworldy powers doomed us all. Without the witness and our relationships with the government the town of Sleepy Hollow was defenseless against the invaders that called themselves as STAR LABS of United States of America. Obviously... They gave themselves this name while occupying our town.'



'Selina: On December 12, 2024, the first division of STAR LABS marched upon our streets and invaded the mayor's department and all other federal organs of the town. With a massive force of 3,000 men they took over the town in only 2 days. Some citizens tried to resist as they hold the pride of being born in that region... But anyone who dared defy them was surely going to be executed without mercy. To make things worse, the family of the rebel would pay for his or her crimes by being arrested and tortured in their prison.'



'Selina: Our town was divided in two parts. 90% of the town was under the total control of the STAR LABS while 10% was being protected by a group of rebel citizens who refused to give their history, identity and culture to a paramilitary group. 4,000 people died in combat, with most of them being women and children as they were easy targets. From distance, I watched our history burn. I had power. I had strength. I had enough force to drive our enemies back and rescue our town... But why I refused to help Sleepy Hollow? Why I only watched while innocents were dying on the crossfire?'



'Selina: When the war was over and Sleepy Hollow now under the claws of STAR LABS, the front gates of the town was opened and a woman in black dress walked down our streets with a big smile of sastifasction and happiness. Looking around like if she was in some kind of gothic party, she laughed and danced. There was no doubt, that woman was the leader of STAR LABS. Our enemy.'



'Selina: Despite all the suffering we had to endure the STAR LABS continued with their terrible assault. Once the police and military forces that oppossed the GDP's law were defeated, the Order of Flourish became the next target. One by one. Like insects. We had our most trusted and respected members in our ranks arrested or executed. Unlike the town we offered a greater resistence but we knew we couldn't resist for so long. While our battle took place the women and children under the captive of STAR LABS were constantly being abused, tortured and raped by the cowards of Mina's army. Now the citizens had their names erased from their ID and were replaced by numbers. Children became X-3023 while men became D-2304... Worse, Mina seemed to ignore the disgusting war crimes committed by her men.'



' Selina: In a matter of days the new technology that STAR LABS was so proud of crushed us. Our magic. Our centuries of work. Our essence. Was crushed by the new generation' technology. The ego of mages like me was burned to the ground. Feeling guilty for all deaths of my beloved family I decided to surrender to STAR LABS... But some idiots of the Order refused to see me being captured by Mina and used their last energy to teleport me out of Sleepy Hollow... And this is where I last saw my friends and family... The Order of Flourish was gone. '



'Selina: Now... Did I accept my defeat? It was not a easy decision to take. Should I go back to Sleepy Hollow to make the  deaths of my friends in vain? Or I should move on to fight another day? I took the second option and for the first time I travelled the world outside. I met many new friends and discovered beautiful and dark places of this world. From North America to Central America. From Central America to South America. From South America to Oceania. I've been travelling now for almost 2 decades without stop. Fufufufu! I'm enjoying my life discovering new places to live? You're funny. No. I found a new bloody way to live: hunting demons and monsters. And I always thought all creatures outside of this world were connected to Moloch. But I was wrong, outside of Sleepy Hollow I found thousands of other demons from other hellish dimensions. Without thinking twice I began my quest to wipe them from the face of the world.'



'' Selina: And in the year of 2036... It had finally started. Previously predicted by many stupid netizens, the Third World War had arrived like millions were expecting. With chaos and destruction from all sides. Just in the first night more than 300,000,000 lost their lives. It was alone the most deadly day in humanity's story as it took only 4 hours to surpass the death toll of all wars and armed conflicts in the 20 and 21th century together. It all started in Japan, England and United States. The biggest, most awful, most tragic event in all of Japan and London's history was actually only the beginning to what would be the world's end. This event lead the millions of civilians to rebel… ''



' Selina: At first, it was optimistically thought that everything would calm down soon, but the situation worsened and quickened its pace. The movement of neo-KnightWalkers happened on the Internet, and formed a community of its own. Soon, not just civilans were involved but terrorists. The rebellion came to include people of various races and nationalities in its development and spread off the internet and into real life. Now we had KnightWalker in all sides, supporting their radical views. The STAR LABS didn't waste their time and used this war to increase their influence and business across America. In a few months, the entire town of Sleepy Hollow was gone and became a super-massive metropolises. However, that town was not a town made for citizens. It was super-laboratory town where only people from STAR LABS like officers, scientists and guards. Factories were built over houses to build robots and vehicles. Studying facitilies build over historical and cultural monuments. Sleepy Hollow vanished from the world. '



' Selina: As the war continued its course, half of all countries in the world fell and were erased from the maps of Earth. Luckily neutral countries managed to survive somehow. Japan, for example, survived the war while all countries of Asia fell in state of total destruction and chaos. With billions of deaths and the world something was starting. Something worse than war. Hard to believe but something was rising. The darkness and cruelty of all evil in the world was gathering and becoming an entity. I first saw it when I was in Canada. It was a giant cloud of darkness, larger than a plane. That thing was flying fast a jet... I don't know what was that but I had a bad feeling about it. '



'Selina: Each day this darkness was growing strong. It was not only on the skies but also on water and earth. I could see this darkness leaving from humans and animals' body like if it was a disease. To normal people it was indeed invisible but people who had at least a small amount of magic in their physical bodies could see it. This thing was spreading and no matter what I did I can not understand it... Yet for some reason I feel that this thing is inside of me as well...'



'Selina: Over the course of the war I could find a few things about it using Michael's knowledge of this era. Apparently this Blackness is somehow related with the Croatoan Virus inside of me. Moreover this thing is probably directly responsible for giving my powers and immortality. During my study sections the entire planet shook in brutal earthquake that caused the destruction of a town in Mexico, Cancun. Outside of the countries many things were being spread across the world. No one knows if it was a meteorite, a new super weapon of an unknown nation or even a natural incident. Days later, something even worse happened. In Brazil, the largest country of South America, was attacked by a massive army of demons in all states at the same time. Soon, the entire country was engulfed by a dark shield that prevented people from escaping and entering the country. Leaving all living beings inside to die by the hands of the demons.'



'Selina: It took us all by surprise. Following the downfall of Brazil, the news of all over the world had no other focus instead of that matter. During the 21st century many countries vanished from maps due to how advanced the technology was. On the same day, the current president of the United States of America, Tom Bucky, officially pronunced his thoughts and situation in Brazil. His message was shown all over the world, in all known channels and even in other electronic devices.'



'Selina: What appeared to be an official word from the direct President of USA was actually nothing more than a propaganda of STAR LABS. The truth is that the STAR LABS used the incident that lead to 400,000,000 deaths in South America to finally expose themselves to the world. Due to their nature of fighting supernatural beings their existence was a total secret to the world until now but with such grand incident of large scale the STAR LABS had no other choice but to finally leave the darkness and show their ugly face to the world. In their live, Mina Harker, the woman who took everything from me, exposed the existence of what the Order of Flourish always wanted to fight to protect Sleepy Hollow... Magic, demons and all otherwordly forces. Do you even know what will happen when billions of normal people suddenly discover the existence of supernatural entities? Actually, sometimes, I wonder this is what Mina Harker is planning; throw everyone against each other.'



' Selina: In this live, Mina Harker proclamed herself as the new president of United States and the Head of the Stabilization Union due to how dangerous the situation had become. Demons. Yes, soon after the disaster in Brazil, demons began to appear all around the world. Demons, who were mostly a race of evil beings that acted individually. OUT OF NOWHERE! Demons, or better, Black Demons, popped out everywhere without warning. It was like... If they were waiting for the right moment to appear. And so, the Stabilization Union, the faction that considered to be more diplomatic and civilized in this war, became nations controlled by STAR LABS. '



''Selina: Mina's campaign also reached the KnightWalker Alliance with Eckidina KnightWalker and her allies to start a purge in their countries fearing that Black Demons would one conquer their regions. Even so the KnightWalker Alliance refused the presence of STAR LABS in their nations even though the Black Demons were wrecking havoc everywhere.''



''Selina: In a few couple of months, genocides and purges started all over the globe, resulting in millions getting sacrificed by the military and civilians. These purges were most instigated by religious who considered demons to be heretic and against God. And as a consequence, normal people who were thought to be demons were killed and tortured. All society erupts into global chaos as humanity begins killing each other off in an attempt to eradicate the demons when in fact they were killing themselves.''



'' Selina: Hate... Crimes... Racism... Everything became an excuse to hunt down demons. Some people with evil in their hearts used many types of excuses to beat and kill people they did not like. Christians began to hunt down Jews and Satanists for having different believes. Communists killing businessmen, politicians and rich people for being rich and suspected of being greedy. ''



'' Selina: We thought the Third World War was already the darkest conflict in human history due to its violence, brutality and death toll. But we were wrong, war was never our real problem. The true problem of the world was not the deeds of humans. It was always us, humans. Humans are the goodness and justice but are also the evil and cruelty. No matter how long we fight our darkness, this war will never end. And such eternal war will always destroy everything around us that are not related to our problems. What people called "modern society" now became a new medieval era and only showed how primitive humans are and how we never matured over the years. 1000 years later we still acted like savages. Yes. A new hunting for witches had started, but now demons were the target. Obviously there were no proves to incriminate someone of being a demon, only their altered behavior. ''



'' Selina: But the people who declared themselves as "humans' supremacists" and "human's salviors" also had their behavior altered after the end of the war. So even the "righteous" groups who became famous for hunting demons destroyed themselves... Killing their own comrades and destroying the very roots of a democratic and civilized society. The politicians are now long gone. Some are hiding like chickens while the rest are now tied up in light poles being tortured by the civilians. It was only a matter of time before all nations of America to fall. In South America countries like Venezuela, Colombia, Equador and Argentina fell in disgrace and destruction in a matter of days. Even after the police and military had used brutal tactics like shooting and torturing civilians to stop the population from destroying all major cities of their respectives countries, nothing could stop them... The reason? The Black Demons were now infiltrated in the government's security and military intelligence. ''



'' Selina: What could have taken years to happen ended in just a month... ONE SINGLE MONTH! Once called as the World's Most Powerful Nation, United States of America's flag became the symbol of violence and crime. More than 100 million people joined the riots that lasted over the weeks and so the cause of the Black Demons just got stronger and stronger without the need to increase their numbers. Russia, now called Sovietic Union, also fell in complete chaos but luckily their winter managed to control the civilians to stay inside of their houses. The Black Demons had no problem to leave in the cold climate of Russia and took this chance to wreck havoc... neighborhoods were massacred from night to day. Where once hundreds of innocent families lived became a new ghetto for corpses. For some reason, the animals, the pets of the murdered families, were spared. The police of the world thought animals are immune to the Black Demons' curse somehow... Even now, we don't know why the animals are not attacked by the Black Demons. ''



'' Selina: It took us all by surprise. The riots and civil war between the people and the government consumed the entire world so fast that innocent civilians could not even escape from their houses to hide in the rural parts of the countries. The military forces did what no one in the world thought it could be possible. They bombed their own cities and states. The KnightWalkers. The Americans. The Godoms. The British. The Mexicans. The Canadians. Now, no matter their ideologies, acted in the same way after decades of conflict between themselves. Nuclear bombs were dropped in major cities to contain the threat of the Black Demons... At that point, not even the generals of the army were sure if the true enemy were humans they used to protect or the Black Demons, they just came to the conclusion 90% of the world's population were now Black Demons. ''



'' Selina: As the war continued, the very basic forms of humanity in the cities of the world were lost. Innocent people became targets of both criminals, rebels, police and the army. The capital of most countries managed to protect their power and stability by adopting the KnightWalker Family's plan of building giant walls around their most important cities. But outside, all over the world, humanity fell apart. Plagues and diseases strucked, some of which were made by the infamous Manufacturing Progressive Sciences. 95% of all cities in the world experienced massive increases in criminality. The incidents were followed by riding, theft, rapes, arsonism. Civilization committing suicide. ''



'' Selina: America, STAR LABS, in a bullshit attempt to protect Americans from the threat of the Black Demons, built walls around STAR Center, the former Sleepy Hollow. The rest of the United States fell apart and now only the STAR Center was the safe place of North America. And now, the americans are stuck in this cage with those psychos and savage demons. Cops and american soldiers are like gone of the streets, are dead or too chicken-shit to stand against the gangs that now control overything in this land that was forgotten by God. ''



'' Selina: The underbelly of the human psyche, what is often referred to as our dark side, is the origin of every act of self-sabotage. We often say people committing atrocities in these days are now Black Demons... Honestly, we don't even know what defines us humans. Demons do things that humans do everyday. They can think and act like us and makes us wonder if demons are truly among us or if those creatures are our dark side that became so strong that finally gained life. Birthed out of shame, fear, and denial, it misdirects our good intentions and drives us to unthinkable acts of self-destruction and not-so-unbelievable acts of self-sabotage. ''



'' Selina: We had such potential. Such promise. But we squandered our gifts, our intelligence. Our blind pursuit of technology and power only sped us quicker to our doom; the World War III. And this war triggered our inner demons, so much cruelty and inhumanity was made in this war. So much death and suffering. So much darkness that even the most pure hearts were infected by it even without being touched by the violence of this war. What makes humans? What makes demons? We don't know... In the past, I could easily say the difference between us. Even demons are capable of being good, more pure than some humans out there. Our world is ending. But life must go on... ''

<p style="text-align:center;">''Betrayed and exposed by Mina Harker’s broadcast, the Ratatoskr becomes a target of Global Pact Defense, the superior organization whom they were serving and are forced to retreat to England. In the meantime, the STAR LABS are expanding their influence to Europe and Asia where Black Demons and innocent people possessed by demons are being exterminated for the mere fact of existing.'' <p style="text-align:center;">Meanwhile, Kotori Itsuka and other crew members of Fraxinus are keeping Tomas Sev in a cell for being suspected of being a demon...

<p style="text-align:center;"> January 1, 2037 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 07:23 AM 



''1 months had passed since that day... The day that the largest country of South America, Brazil, fell in an unknown state of chaos. Actually, even after 1 month since the arrival of STAR LABS to power no one knows what exactly caused the total destruction of Brazil. ''

''Humanity only knows one thing: that shield surrounding Brazil is not natural and the true monsters responsible for summoning that absurdly gigantic shield are the Black Demons...  As such, a lot of things changed since that day. The world was no longer the same, now it was not being teared apart by man-made disasters such as wars and natural cataclysmatic forces made by humans like Akrak Couteau who is long gone. Sure, Akrak is dead but the impact she did to the world continued there, millions were starving to dead while other millions were living outdoor, being easy targets of thugs, sadistic freaks and rapists... But now, their condictions meant nothing to the world because the sudden appearance of  Black Demons across the globe changed the very base of civilization.''



''Luckily some countries managed to escape from the war and Akrak's Hand of Apocalypse. These countries became safe points of the world for people to immigrate. Obviously, this did not end well, too many people coming from other countries always ended in scarcity of food and water, resulting in crimes and assaults to citizens of that nation. One of those countries that were spared is Switzerland, a country that continued to grow despite being side by side with warmongering nations.''

''Also, thanks to the liberal government of this country, many organizations offered their help to find place for immigrants seeking for a place to live since the war destroyed everything they had built. One of these places given by the government for those poor people is University of Applied Sciences located in the state of Bern. For obvious reasons (the war), the university was lacking funds to continue their activities and so they had no other utilities for their main building. Coming to the conclusion that their main building have more than 1000 rooms the administration of the university abandoned the building and gave it to the immigrants. And it turns out the immigrants living there are people from Aldegyr Kingdom, a country that was wiped out by the vicious the Fallen's Essence.''



''Since there are only people from Aldegyr Kingdom living there, there were no indications of fights, robbery and crimes... People from Aldegyr Kingdom are even more disciplined than Japan's people. Their educated behavior is more related for coming from a First World country.''

- (???): Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

''Inside of one of the many rooms of the univesity, a young boy was sleeping peacefully in his bed while the sun was rising on the horizon. Since his room was at the top of the university he could clearly see the light cleaning the city from the darkness of the night.''



The name of that boy is Bruno Grants, a young boy that was at that night on the capital of Aldegyr Kingdom when Peace Foundation attacked the city and Kanon Rihavein revealed herself to the world.

''Bruno is tall teenage boy with brown hair and purple eyes. And notable markings below them. Possibly symbolizing his Aldegyr's DNA. ''

''- (??? 2): Bruno, wake up! It's morning!''

''Bruno was already awake for quite some time but he was too lazy to open his eyes. During that time, a friendly female voice could be heard across the room and the sound of the window opening. ''

- Bruno: .......................

''Bruno ignored that person and returned to his sleep. That girl calling for him is his sister who is also from Aldegyr Kingdom, her name is Valeria Nobuyaki. They are not related siblings, they're non-blood related sibilings as they come from different famillies. Valeria's family for examples comes from South Korea while Bruno is from Aldegyr. Despite being born in Korea Valeria grew up in Aldegyr Kingdom side by side with her brother Bruno.''



''- Valeria: Bruno! Don't make punch you!''

''Valeria is nothing like Bruno, she has blue hair and blue eyes. She wears two red clips on the left side of her face. Being a former student of the university, Valeria wears a regular school uniform. Also, despite her femenine look she is quite of a tomboy.''

- Bruno: Go away...

''Bruno may be educated but personally he is lazy, unlike his sister Valeria, he is cold and shows no real expressions. His sister on the other hand is active, charismatic and kind. But there is an explanation for his behavior, Bruno and rest of all immigrants don't get reward by the government for free, they have to work to get what they deserve. At times like that when the world is in complete chaos and in economic crisis food and water, as well as basic resources, power and medicines are hard to buy and transport.''



''- Valeria: You punk! Get up or will make your arse look like a chili!''

With brute strength, the young girl grabbed Bruno's shirt and pushed him out of the bed just to grab his neck and push him again against the closet to change his clothes.

- Bruno: ARE YOU FUC---!

''Bruno began to change his clothes fast as he could. He tried to say something but the menacing expression in the face of his sister was too scary for him to continue.''

- Valeria: Did you say something?

"........................."



''Valeria was not playing around like usual, she was serious like if she was doing a math test. That really gave Bruno chills in his spine.''

''- Bruno: Imagine! I did not say nothing!''

Valeria pointed a small piece of iron at Bruno to speed up the process.

''- Valeria: Finish this soon! You have a job to do! Finish that girl...''

''The "Finish that girl" was too mysterious for a normal person who is not familiar with their business but Bruno clearly knew what she was trying to say. Something bad was happening inside of that building.''

<p style="text-align:center;">' 10 minutes later... '

<p style="text-align:center;"> Kitchen 



''And so, 10 minutes had passed since that moment at the room of the siblings. Luckily, the siblings had kitchen in their room, it's a normal thing in the university as that place used to be bedrooms of students that attended to the university.''

Bruno and Valeria were having their breakfast in a small white table beside the balcony. ''- Bruno: I'm not used to this place. The kitchen is small just like the room... Not to mention the bathroom that looks like a plane's restroom.''

''When comparing a restroom with a planet one this person must have some space problems... Valeria finished drinking her tea and turned on the TV.''

''- Valeria: Don't complain, this is the best we have. Our house was better, obviously... But we lost everything, including our parents and families. We have to rely in each other to survive...''

''Valeria and Bruno's past in Aldegyr Kingdom were not one of the best... Since the ascesion of Kanon Rihavein to the throne their country suffered from starvation and sickness. They families had no job to survive and their taxes was too high to pay... Needless to say that was a corrupt communist government stabilished by King Lucas, the father of La Folia Rihavein and Kanon Rihavein.''

''- Bruno: Well, but this breakfast is better than what we had in Aldegyr... What's the point of having the world's top military if you don't have food on your table?''

Aldegyr was a military potence but its economy was bad, bad as North Korea during 2020s.

''As Bruno was taking delight while eating a sausage Valeria was watching TV. Since the rise of STAR LABS to power in USA most of the news were related to Black Demons all over the globe to keep the population aware of their situation. If you turn on your TV the first thing you'll see is the news talking about the appearance of demons, in all channels.''

''- Reporter (TV): [...that's right Datena, we've just received the confirmation about the murder of the family Lilie in the neighborhood N.30596. Firstly, good morning for all our viewers. From what we know so far apparently the crime happened at 01:00 AM. At that time, the neighbors heard loud screams of a woman and a child. The screams were followed by many objects breaking and a loud roar that sounded like an angry animal...]''

''Changing his sight to the TV Bruno gave an angry expression towards the reporter while Valeria was too focused listening to the news. After some words the video on the TV changed to images of a creature lying on the floor. That creature, needless to say, wasn't a natural animal but a Black Demon. It was probably the demon responsible for killing the Lilie family that is now passing on the 'news.''

''- Reporter: [...Yes, when the neighbors saw a huge shadow inside of their house they immediately called to the special division of STAR LABS. It's said the men of STAR LABS arrived in less than 5 minutes and dealt with the demon using violence and brutality as expected.]''

''Exactly, not all countries support STAR LABS even knowing their utility and mission. Some people rely on STAR LABS to save their own skin while others absolutely hate them for being a foreign organization controlling every aspect of their lives. And right now, the STAR LABS is controlling Switzerland through restricted rules to keep the people in line.''

''- Valeria: Those bastards... Who they think they are? Rulers of the world? They should stay in USA! Apparently the media is not sastified with the presence of STAR LABS here.''

Valeria stopped drinking her tea and held her cup with strength, almost breaking it on the process.

''- Bruno: Well, they have their reasons. There is no one on the world capable of fighting back the Black Demons...''

''Almost gasping, Bruno stopped eating and looked outside to see many tanks and armored cars of STAR LABS... Until this morning they could not be seen from there.''

''- Bruno: This is insanity. They called for more droids and men this morning. They are like controlling our lives.''

''Bruno looked at the sky to see many military planes arriving at the town and preparing to land in a nearby airport of the army... An airport that now belongs to STAR LABS. Every single base, police department, fire station, military fortress and government's office now belongs to STAR LABS all across the world.''

''- Bruno: But I admit I don't like the way they do things. We are lucky they are not here yet since we are immigrants living with the help of the town hall.''

Bruno then stood up and stretched his shoulders while preparing to leave the kitchen.

''- Valeria: Are you going? Like you said, we are lucky that STAR LABS is not here yet.''

Valeria and Bruno probably have a secret they don't want STAR LABS to discover.

''- Bruno: Yes... This is annoying but I'll finish the job. I have better things to do, you know? I have to carry fruits later.''

''Valeria waved her hand as Bruno walked towards a door at the end of the kitchen and opened it. The door revealed a dark and creepy stairs leading to inferior floor below their room.''

- Valeria: See you soon!

Bruno let out a sigh of boredom.

- Bruno: Aham...

''Bruno then made his way towards the stairs and walked down the floor of his room. The stairs, for some reason was filled with blood and had a trail of blood on the steps... It was like someone was dragged until the bottom of the floor. Also, it had many broken lamps and many dangerous electricity cables were falling from the ceiling.''

''- Bruno: Damn that Valeria. She want to pick up people but leave me to clean up her mess. I'll eat her dinner later for her insolence.''

''After a minute of walk, Bruno reached the bottom of the room. The place was like an old basement... Considering this place is on a building than this space must be above of another room.''

- Bruno: Now, where I put her again?

''But what was more shocking at that place was... the place itself. That "basement" was not normal, it was filled with corpses, blood and pieces of human limbs scattered everywhere across the ground.''

- Bruno: Where is my honey?!

''Bruno's voice changed a dark tone like if he was playing hide and seek with a scared animal. ''

''- Bruno: AHH! THERE YOU ARE!''

''The now altered Bruno looked at his left side and saw a 7-year old girl hiding on the darkness. Her arms and legs were tied up with ropes while her mouth was shut with scotch tape. The girl was crying and sweating, clearly afraid of Bruno... Now, it's more than obvious that Bruno is not the person you saw early.''

- Girl: Hhhhmmmm!

''The girl, who was dressed in an academic sport clothes, tries to scream for help but no one could hear her screams there. A futile attempt to save her life.''

''- Bruno: When you will give up? Nobody will hear you down here. Not even the people below us can hear your scream.''

''Bruno, now completely looking like a sadistic pedophile, grabbed a hammer, a knife and a saw and put them beside the girl while he put a kitchen-apron... It actually looked like a butcher's apron.''

''- Bruno: Ahh! This feeling! It's coming back! It's so good! The sensation of being dominant! The feeling of being a predator while his prey begs for her life!''

''Bruno laughed insanely, putting a malicious grin in his face. Instantly, his blue eyes were stained with red, revealing his demonic eyes that looked like a vampire's.''

- Girl: HHHHHHHMMMMMM!!!!

Bruno got in his knees and slapped her.

''- Bruno: Spare your voice, kid. I'll torture you now and make you scream like little bitch! I'll make sure to keep you look beautiful like you are now! The beauty of people is on their childhood, when they are kids. Be greatful for keeping you look like an angel... But where is my reward for killing you to keep as a child? Your pain and your suffering. Compared to what you will become in Heaven this is nothing, this is merely a process you need to endure to pass to become an angel and ascend to a new life.''



''Bruno then put a device with several finger breakers in her left hand and locked her fingers inside of it. He was really going to torture her by stabbing her fingers with screws.''

''- Bruno: Now, stay calm. This will hurt only a little. Compared to Valeria, I'm a kitten in torture. The next time she tortured you she took your anal virginity with a crowbar, right? This is less painful, trust me! TRUST ME!!!!!''

''While the girl was trembling in fear, her eyes almost popped out of their places. Bruno then proceeded to rise his hand and pull it down to pierce her fingers but something happened above them...''

''A loud sound of something break could be heard. It was something that broke in the kitchen where Valeria was having her breakfast.''

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

- Bruno: What the hell wa--!



''Bruno immediately felt several presences surrouding him but there was no one in the room besides him and the girl. And it wasn't normal presence of humans, it was something heavy and cold... Like a demon. But it would not make sense since Bruno and Valeria are actually humans becoming demons, so they know exactly that a demon is an ally.''



''- Bruno: Valeria?! What was that?!''​​​​​​

''Bruno was starting to suspect that something happend with Valeria. Almost a minute had passed since he called for her name but no one answered. Fearing for the worst, Bruno began to reveal his demon form to scare the person who was up there, or at least kill him... But soon his questions were answered by footsteps coming from the stairs.''

''Soon, a black dress could be seen coming down from the stairs. It was a woman, and her light of the lamps reflecting in her glasses only added an intimidating aura around her. She calm and safe, she was not bothered by the quantity of corpses around her and the girl screaming in the floor.''



- Bruno: WHO ARE YOU?!

''Any normal human would have run away from Bruno at this point, he now had red eyes, black wings, demonic arms and legs, black claws. He was completely a half-demon.''

''That woman around her twenties was strangely wearing a black maid costume. She is wearing round-shaped glasses and tied up her blue-darkish hair with Twin-tails style, this combination makes her look clumsy in all points. She also wears a white apron a white hairband and a pair of white gloves. A cross necklace is also always seen on her neck.''

The maid extended her hands and showed an umbrella.

''- Maid: Execuse me. Forgive me for invading your property like that. My name is Roberta. No surname. I'm the leader of the special division of STAR LABS, Anti-Magic Nuns... My military nickname is: Sekhmet the Nun of Death. ''

Bruno sharpened his devilish eyes and prepared to fight the intruder, who was clearly a secret agent of STAR LABS disguised as a maid.



''- Bruno: And we thought the STAR LABS was long from discovering us... ''

He clenched his fists and flew towards Roberta with intentions to kill her but she quickly dodged his attack and appeared in his right side, exactly where his belly was unprotected and stabbed his stomach with the umbrella.

- Bruno: WHA---!!

''Roberta quickly removed the umbrella's pointer from his stomach and allowed him to jump backwards. For a demon like him, this attack means nothing. For normal humans, being stabbed in that area means slow death by internal bleeding.''

''- Roberta: Are you sastified? I gave you a chance to defeat me but you failed.''

"......................"



''Bruno put his hand in his injury and quickly healed. In a matter of seconds, the hole Roberta did on him was now closed.''

- Bruno: What happened to Valeria?

Roberta let out a small grin before telling him what she did to Valeria up stairs.

''- Roberta: Aww... That girl? I killed her. I just sneaked behind her and exploded her head with anti-demon magic. That girl was using transformation magic, apparently. As soon as I killed her her appearance returned to normal. That appearance of girl with blue hair is another one of your victims that you killed in the past? Shall I assume this form you're using is the body of young man you killed in the past?''

".................................................."



''Roberta was more than right. She discovered this without the help of a detective. Those appearances were not their true forms, they're using bodies of their victims to hide their true identity as serial-killers sibilings.''

- Bruno: Damn you...

''Bruno thought about blowing up the wall to fly away from the building but then he heard countless steps of boots across the building. Demons' ears are 100% better than humans'.''

''- Roberta: Don't waste your time flying. STAR LABS surrounded this building with armored vehicles, heavy artillery and hundreds of droids. We have men of the police securing all floors of this building. We also have powerful and advanced fighters in the skies, waiting for you to fly away... You said you thought you could hide from us? You never managed to hide from us! We always knew where you were hiding! We can identify a human possessed by a demon without the help of a priest... We're experts. We know how to find trash like you.''



''Bruno had no other choice but to prepare to fight. He was confident he could win that maid easily but due to the situation he had to fight seriously.''

- Bruno: Tsk!

''Roberta then pointed her umbrella to the demon again and revealed a bit of her nature. Her eyes were dead like if she was a moving corpse, a sad and unhappy zombie hunting demons to feel alive. ''

With a psychotic grin, she taunted the demon while the girl on the floor will have to witness what was going to happen next.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Roberta: Let's see what happens when the predator becomes the prey...

<p style="text-align:center;">' 15 minutes later... '

<p style="text-align:center;"> Outside of the University 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Campus 

''Some time after the invasion of STAR LABS to the building, countless helicopters of news arrived and recorded the operation from above. Due to the restriction of STAR LABS they were forbidden from flying more than 100 meters next to the university.''

''- STAR Helicopter: [This is a warning from the direct command of STAR LABS! All civilians should stay outside of the campus! No reporters and non-authorized personnel is allowed to enter the university! Ignoring our warnings will put you life in danger! Thanks for your understanding! I repeat...]''



''Not only one helicopter was repeating the message but several others. The campus of the university was a chaos, it was just hard to believe that this morning the campus was in peace and had no human souls there to cause such confusion.]''

''In front of the entrance of the building there were two STAR soldiers looking over the corpse of a woman they shoot down a few minutes ago. Some people outside tried to take photo of their actions in order to use these images to make the image of STAR LABS low.''

''- STAR Soldier 1: Civilian killed at sector 40. Apparently this person have some relative in the building. ''

When some cameramen tried to film the action, a few droids left from the campus and hunted down the cameramen in the crowd to arrest them for recording the operation of STAR LABS, which is something just bad as stealing the weapon of a military.

''- STAR Soldier 2: Just let her be. With millions corpses they will not even remember her. Just keep quiet and act like you didn't kill her.''



''Just after the corrupt soldier finished, a group of several immigrants from Aldegyr Kingdom came out of the building running for their lives. The police force inside of the building was chasing them for thinking they are demons inside of human bodies. ''

''At the first sight, a soldier of STAR LABS shoot down a man of the group right in front of the civilians. The sight of seeing one of their friends being killed forced them to stop running and rise their hands while shaking in fear.''

- Aldegyr Immigrant 1: 'DON'T SHOOT! WE ARE NOT DEMONS!!'

- Aldegyr Immigrant 2: 'THAT'S RIGHT! WE DID NOTHING WRONG! WHATEVER IS HAPPENING INSIDE IS NOT RELATED TO US!!'



The soldiers were not trying to shoot but they aimed their weapons at the group just for precaution.

''- Aldegyr Immigrant 3: WAIT! WE CAN PROVE! WE CAN PROVE WE ARE HUMANS!''

''Just the despair in their faces was enough to make the soldiers think they are demons. And if they were calm despite their situation the soldiers would probably think they are demons for not feeling fear... In all senses, it was a situation without escape. ''

There is just one single end for this situation.​​​​​​



- STAR Soldier 3: What should we do? A few seconds later, a officer of STAR LABS that was disguised as a staff member of the university appeared behind the soldiers and extended her hand.

''- STAR Officer: Shoot them! Orders from the director herself!''

''Without thinking twice, the soldiers opened fire against the group of immigrants who tried to run for their lives but without success. Now, there were dozens of dead bodies in front of the entrance.''

That officer in staff clothes was problably the woman who informed the presence of Bruno and Valeria in the university, which would make sense as STAR LABS was not even interested in this building.

''- (???): What a mess... I must say that I'm disappointed with you all. You all know that I hate unorganized operations. Everything needs to be clean and organized. No violence and brutality. Peace shall prevail.''

''Suddenly, a very refined and beautiful female voice came from behind the soldiers and the officer. ''

''It was a beautiful woman with long blonde hair and reddish-brown eyes. She also had a beautiful and soft white skin that seemed to be the skin of a goddess. That woman seemed to be British despite her American-style tone. She was wearing an uniform of STAR LABS' command, meaning that she was the superior of all forces of STAR LABS operating at that area. It can be said Roberta is working to her.''

''- STAR Officer: Lieutenant Minerva Layer! Sorry for our reckless actions! But this is nec--!''

The woman known as Minerva Layer, shook her head and smiled.

''- Minerva: Fool! Look at this plac--!''

''Before Minerva could complain about the brutality of her soldiers, Roberta came out of the building using the same entrance the immigrants used to escape. She was carrying the young girl that Bruno tried to kill and put her on the floor.''

''- Minerva: Welcome back, Roberta. So it was fun?''



Roberta nodded with a repulsive grin of happiness but disappointment.

''- Roberta: To tell the truth... He was weak... It was not even fun. But at least I saved this girl. She was about to be killed by the demon. There is also other bodies inside of their room but I left them untouched.''

''Minerva then got in her knees and stared at the kid who hid behind Roberta's dress. Apparently Roberta is the only person that kid can trust now, even though this person shows that she is not normal.''

''- Minerva: I see... So they touched her in some way?''

Roberta looked at the kid with empty eyes of pity.

''- Roberta: Yes. Apparently she was forced to do sexual acts with the female Black Demon. I don't know much of the details.''



"......................................"

''Indeed, that girl was raped by Valeria a few days ago... And having direct contact with a Black Demon such as a sexual contact is enough to make the STAR LABS think this person has no salvation.''

With eyes that would scare the soul of even devils, Minerva prepared her soldiers to shoot all immigrants on sight.

''- Minerva: Ahhh... So that's the case. You should have told me that before... Commander, you're allowed to kill everyone in this building. No prisioners.''

''No matter how cruel their orders are, the soldiers of STAR LABS act like machines... So even if you put a group of pregnant women or kids in front of them and you give orders to kill them, they will not hesitate for a second... And this is what happened.''​​​​​​



- STAR Commander: Positive!

''All men of STAR LABS in front of the building began to shoot at the immigrants who were on the floor, executing them in front of all civilians. Soon afterwards, a group of STAR LABS called Death Squad entered on the building to wipe out all survivors of Aldegyr Kingdom in that building. Age or gender doesn't matter, they simply became target of Minerva Layer, who is also called as the Whore of Hell.''

- Roberta: So, how is your day going?

''Roberta then grabbed the neck of the kid hiding behind her. ''

- Girl: N-N-NO!

''Ignoring her cries, Roberta broke the neck of the innocent girl before throwing her body on the floor like trash. At this time, Minerva looked at the sky and saw smoke coming from all across the town. It was obvious that STAR LABS was acting in several places at the same time. She took a deep breath like if she was in a yoga section and smiled.''​​​​​​



<p style="text-align:center;">' - Minerva: Perfect... '

<p style="text-align:center;">' Meanwhile... '

<p style="text-align:center;"> United States 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Sleepy Hollow - STAR Center

<p style="text-align:center;"> STAR LABS Central

<p style="text-align:center;"> 07:12 PM 

- City Speaker: [Squad Number 450 of East Gate, please make your way to the Gate 100 for inspection.]

''More and more speakers, loud voices of robots echoing across the town, sounds of ships flying around, helicopters patrolling the skies, armored military vehicles driving around the unknown town... ''

''The scene changes to a city called STAR Center. Curiously, the name "STAR Center" don't sound like the name of a proper city. Indeed, it isn't supposed to sound like a town named by normal people. The STAR Center is the hometown of STAR LABS of United States of America, located in the American state of New York. The city is formed by countless skyscrapers, military fortress and thousands of buildings that are not populated by civilians but by soldiers and robots. ''



''Yes, this place was founded not a long ago (around 2 decades ago). When STAR LABS invaded Sleepy Hollow due to the high interference of magic activity in the region the STAR LABS renamed the name "Sleepy Hollow" to "STAR Center". The town is surrounded by huge walls, they were built due to the civil war happening around United States, which resulted in civilians destroying the very base of civilization and wiping out United States of the map. Now, STAR Center is the only place on North America that is organized and have laws and order.''

''For being the only place fully controlled by STAR LABS you can guess who lives there. In the center of the town there is a huge building called "STAR Central". A massive drum-shaped building boasting a shield-shaped dome with a diameter of more than two kilometers, the STAR Central was built some time after 2027 following the break out of Cold War II in Europe. ''

''In this huge building that would take months to explore completely, Mina Harker is seated inside of her own private office. Mina Harker... the director of STAR LABS who now controls the Stabilization Union and is the only known person able to fight back the Black Demons that are turning the entire planet into a rotten rock.''



- Mina: ..................​​​​​​

''If a normal person entered that office and saw Mina Harker, they would probably think she is just a normal student who is messing around the place... But they would be wrong, because that woman right there is Mina Harker herself. Despite her young looks she is considered to be one of the smartest women in America and is an expert in all econimic, military and political sectors. No exceptions.''

''Mina is a woman who can't be described as just as beautiful or young, around her, people could feel the aura of an intelligent mastermind. She had long black hair, yellow eyes and had a very white skin... Hardly looked like an american but rather as an half-Brazillian and an half-Canadian. ''

''Her sizes are around 91-58-87 and completey looked like a 19-yeard old woman. But her mature voice and abnormal presence sold out her true age... She is probably around 27-yeard old. She was also wearing a strange outfit for a businesswoman; she was wearing a white polo shirt with a green tie, a green mini-skirt and two dog tags. ''

''Quietly and calmly, Mina was drinking a bottle of water while looking at the town from the top of her office. Apparently, her office was located on the top floor of the building.''

''- Mina: Purge... Huh? What a bizarre name for my operation. I knew I shouldn't have trusted in my generals to name my mission... Damn it! Using freaking Youtube to name my mission. I'll make sure to demonetize all videos of all channels who dare call me "Sweeper".''



''Mina is quite popular on Internet... On the negative way. People often call her "Sweeper", "Waster Collector", "Delusional Demon Lady" and among others. Obviously, most of internet users didn't approve STAR LABS' presence in their countries.''

''- (???): Excuse me, Director. ''

Soon afterwards, the door of Mina's office opened and a tall Russian-woman entered while bowing before Mina.

''- Mina: Welcome back, Echidna. What news you bring to me?''

''Mina didn't look at the face of the woman known as "Echidna". Her full name is "Echidna Bathory". Echidna is a young Russian woman who is the sub-managing director of STAR LABS and serves Mina as her secretery and special bodyguard. Believe it or not, Echidna is the strong person in STAR LABS but she is not a common human, she is a Meta-Human much like Ganesha, Poison Ivy and Zancrow.''

''Echidna is a woman of average height with fair skin, blue eyes, and long, light-brown hair with a bang covering her right eye. She dons a feminine STAR LABS' Meta-Human uniform that accents her figure while retaining a modest appearance. The uniform has a large collar and bears her shoulders, leaving the remainder of her arms to be covered by matching gloves that appear to have a separate layer of small white gloves attached to the ends of them. Beneath her coat, Echidna wears maroon-colored stockings that yield her knife weapons hidden at the top. Her look is completed with a delicate pair of white heels to accompany her gloves.''



''- Echidna: No... I brought you this!''

''Mina could not see this but Echidna was carrying a mountain of documents and threw everything in her table... Those papers were the expenses of her organization and taxes Mina needed to pay.''

''- Mina: B-But! But! I just finished paying the gas we use in the freaking chambers! Now this! ''

''- Echidna: We can't rule other countries without paying for our presence there. Our robots need power to power-up. Our men need food and resources to keep working. Our vehicles need oil and car parts for repair. And so go on...''

Mina facepalm herself and threw her pens on the floor.



''- Mina: How about you shove all these papers in the arses of those fat and sweaty pigs?!! I'M THE PRESIDENT OF STABILIZATION UNION! NOT A MEDIUM-CLASS WORKER!''

''Echidna pet Mina's head gave a cold look at her superior, who was clearly tired of working day and night... Yes, being the ruler of hundreds of countries is not easy.''

''- Echidna: I know that but we are still a company and not an official political party. Well, we all do our part here. If you need less work we can get rid of all prisioners we have in America. ''

''Since the appearance of STAR LABS, they arrested hundreds of millions all across the world... Building thousands of prisons, paying for the electricity and water in these buildings, paying the guards... Mina's agenda is really full.''



''- Mina: I think I'll try cutting off the human resources in Central America. If they starve to death it will not be my problem... They can eat themselves! Duh! They have meat for that!... So how is our operation?''

The operation she is talking about is the Purge, a single worldwide military campaign to wipe out the Black Demons of the globe.

''- Echidna: Well, needless to say we lost San Francisco and Los Angels hours ago. We have no more missiles and ammo to keep operating in those areas. I'd recommend leaving only STAR Center as th--''

Mina put her hands in Echidna's mouth.

''- Mina: Sssshhhh!!! Echidna, your job here is to follow my orders and not rise your opnions. If you do that again I'll cut you tongue...''

''An awkward silence fell upon the office. Sure, Echidna is a person with a big mouth who will contradict the words of everyone she meet.''

"'................................."​​​​​​



- Echidna & Mina: A...Hahahaha!!

Echidna and Mina laughed together like two idiots.

''- Mina: Hahahahaha! Why are you laughing...? I'm serious.''

- Echidna: I'm sorry.

''Echidna immediately stopped laughing and returned to her cold face. She then pulled a document from that mountain of papers and showed the image of the capital of Mexico, City of Mexico, being bombed by the ships of STAR LABS.''

''- Echidna: This the image of City of Mexico being bombed as you requested. Most of the mexicans were evacuated before the purge began. This photo was taken just a 2 hours ag--''

''Mina interrupted Echidna once again... Despite this strange moment they are actually close friends. Mina and Echidna know each other for 2 decades and are like siblings. Even when Mina said she would cut Echidna's tongue she was just joking... ''



''- Mina: Good! Now I don't have to worry about Mexico! We should just erase Cuba from our maps! ''

''Mina is being unrealistic? Not really, she rules over the Stabillization Union, which means she controls hundreds of countries at the same time; this means she do the work of hundreds of Presidents together. In addition, all her soldiers and troops are resources that need attention. Imagine the nightmare!''

- Echidna: We can't just commit genocide and blame the Black Demons for our actions. Mina nodded, and directed her attention towards the documents.

''- Mina: I hate this job. I'm sorry for saying I would cut your tongue before... I'm just pissed off.''

Echidna shook her head as Mina threw herself in her chair.



''- Echidna: Don't mind me, I'm here to serve you. You asked for news, right? I brought you a few happy happy news that will help you find fun.''

''Echidna is the only person in the world who knows the true Mina Harker... Even when Mina presented herself as a clumsy and idiot woman on TV she was just pretending... The true Mina is a intelligent and calculating woman who has a few traces of psychopathy. At times, she can just go full-Adolf Hitler and cause panic to her minions.''

With a soft and kind smile, Mina changed her sight to Echidna.

''- Mina: Ho? That means those idiots from Peace Foundation are gone?!''

Echidna nodded in excitement.

''- Echidna: Positive. As you requested, the last remnants of the past leaders of Global Pact Defense are gone. All units and factions serving under their legal contracts are now under the hands of STAR LABS. That means all Anti-Magic, pacifist organizations like ONU and Peace Foundation and even the Ultimate Detectives are now one with STAR LABS.''

Mina was momentarily overtaken by Echidna's words.

''- Mina: Finally those annoying pests are gone! That boring trials from Peace Foundation are finally over! I don't have to see the face of Richard Sampson again! To hell all those Human Rights!''



''We can explain this... STAR LABS is an organization that was serving Global Pact Defense but after the sudden disappearance of Brazil from the maps of the world caused STAR LABS to take over as they are the only known organization able to fight the Black Demons, the responsible for making Brazil disappear from the world. Obviously, STAR LABS is a group that relies in violence and war crimes to get what they want while Peace Foundation absolutely hates brutality and conflict. ''

''Over the years, the Peace Foundation rose many court lawsuits against STAR LABS for crimes against humanity; those trials took months and even years to finally end... With Peace Foundation gone now Mina is free from those trials. Like usual, Peace Foundation is giving headache to other people.''​​​​​​

''- Echidna: But now I have bad news... One of those groups serving Global Pact Defense is not in our list... You know them, right?''



''Mina closed her eyes and stood up. With her eyes closed, she remembered the face of her declared enemies. Her true opponents... Yes, the only organization of Global Pact Defense that refused to accept STAR LABS' terms was Ratatoskr, the organization controlled by Kotori Itsuka that is currently fighting the alien threat of the Fallen's Essence.''

''- Mina: Why I'm not surprised? For how long they are missing now?''

''- Echidna: For 2 months. The last time we heard about Ratatoskr was when they opened legally an operation against the Manufacturing Progressive Sciences in Amazonas.''

''Since the end of the battle of Ratatoskr and Akrak Couteau 1 month ago the whereabouts of Ratatoskr are unknown. They never returned to America or reported back to their superiors in the Pentagon. Since that day, Ratatoskr became a terrorist organization in the eyes of Global Pact Defense and STAR LABS for refusing to accept their new leaders.''

''- Mina: Hmm... Echidna, do you think Ratatoskr have reasons to deny our leadership?'' ''Mina went straight to the point, Ratatoskr had no reasons to refuse the superiority of Mina Harker as she have more resources and technology than Ratatoskr and their allies together. If Mina wanted to take the mission of Ratatoskr against the Fallen's Essence and his allies, she could have at least caused critical damage to their operations on Earth.''



''- Echidna: No... It's hard to believe if it is because of moral standards.''

Mina disdainfully turned to Echidna with the smile of a confident experienced veteran.

''- Mina: I thought about it... They are trying to hide something from us. I know Kotori for a long time. I studied all her tactics and steps. She is a woman of big plans and determination. Even if the orders she receive from above are brutals she will never turn her back to her superiors. For Kotori, the mission comes in the first place. Human lives are dispensables. However, 5 months ago she changed her ways when she welcomed a group of 7 or 8 people in her group.''

Echidna twisted her expression with confusion and stepped ahead.

''- Echidna: 5 months ago... You mean when Aldegyr Kingdom was destroyed by an unknown force?''

''5 months ago. Just by mentioning this date makes all people think about the day of the destruction of Aldegyr Kingdom. It works much like mentioning 2001 and you will remember the day of 9/11.''



''- Mina: Yes. Once a lesser organization of Global Pact Defense add more people to their ranks they are forced to sign a contract with the government. This contract will make you a direct enforcer of American law in the world. In other words you become an agent of the American government. All types of people are welcome in Global Pact Defense, from hackers to terrorists... Believe it or not. As long you display abilities and skills that may be seen as a talent you will be forced to serve the country. And curiously, after their mission in Aldegyr Kingdom, the death toll of civilians in Ratatoskr's operations dropped in 65%... Do you know why, Echidna?''

''Echidna remained speechless. The reason behind her silence was mainly because she was feeling inferior near Mina's IQ. Anyone who had no arguments to fight back the word of a genius would remain in silence.''



''- Mina: Kotoru was characterized as hardworking, talented, and a natural genius. Highly perceptive and good with problem solving, Kotori was a skilled planner and good at mapping out scenarios. Furthermore, Kotori was very popular among GDP and adored by the council leaders due to her charism. However, all those traces vanished when she got involved with Kanon Rihavein and added that new group to her ranks. She closed herself and stopped visiting the central. There are countless motives for her new behavior: She is plotting against us? She captured Kanon and is know studying her powers, which would explain the disappearance of the princess? She stole something from us? Or she is hiding someone?''

Mina put her hand on the glass of the window and let out a grin out of her confident face.



''- Mina: I have two suspects in my list... Two people out of the common. When I read the documents and private contracts of Ratatoskr I noticed two people completely "normal" in those papers... Their names are: Katarina Couteau Imperia Deamonne. There were other names like Lucas Kellan, Shigure Yukimi, Tomas Sev and Jellal Fernandes. However, those are names of veterans of war, all of them were heroes who served the KnightWalker Funeral Parlor during Cold War II or fought during the first battle of World War III in Japan. I, myself, met some of them in the past during some conferences. It should be normal to add strong, experienced and powerful fighters to their personal army but why add '''two ​​​​normal schoolgirls to their army? '

''Mina has a point... A obvious one. There is no sense in putting two young girls who don't have combat experience or military relationships in Ratatoskr's private army. If there is a reason, then there must be some reason behind this absurd. In all parts of the world, it's considered a crime to add kids and teenage to fight in the army, it's the same to militarize children to fight in civil wars.''



-' Echidna': It's because... '

''Echidna continued speechless. At the same time she opened her mouth, Mina pulled an fake ID Card from a wallet in her table. That ID Card belonged to La Folia Rihavein, the person who was once Imperia Deamonne... More importantly, this ID Card was under the possession of the Catholic Church when the incidents in Vatican started.''

''- Echidna: An ID Card? This name and this face, if I recall this woman is La Folia Rihavein! The lost ruler of Aldegyr Kingdom and sister of Kanon Rihavein! Why do you have this?!''

"..............................."

''Echidna looked completely stoned when she saw that ID Card belonged to the deceased princess La Folia Rihavein. Until now, it's believed La Folia died in Aldegyr Kingdom by the hands of Kanon Rihavein during her execution for betraying her country.''



''[- Mina: (narrator): For obvious reasons this card is fake! You must be thinking: No, shit! Sherlock! I don't want the FBI knocking on my door!]''

''- Mina: I got it from our lovely Vento of the Front... I can explain it later. Now, Echidna. I believe those two girls called Imperia Deamonne and Katarina Couteau are the reason why Ratatoskr is acting like a bunch of virgin nerds. According to the great Mina Harker who spent days studying these girls, Katarina Couteau is a half-German girl who was abandoned by her biological parents and was adopted by the Couteau Family. Known for her violent behavior, Katarina is considered to be the most "savage" and "brutal" woman in the Japanese town of Tenguu City... She is hunted by the Japanese police for criminal acts like aggression and disturbing the peace... Yep, Echidna. This girl is the infamous Red Haired Demon, a living legend-vigilante who used to hunt down thugs and criminals of Mafusa Gang in the dark alleys of Tenguu City at night. Welp! We found our feminist version of Batman! No offenses...''

[- Narrator: It's a lie, Katarina is not based in Batman!]

The secretery, while staring at those gem-like eyes of Mina, felt her face grew more and more red.

- Mina: Are you paying attention, Echidna?



Echidna gasped and slapped her face a few times with both of her hands.

''- Echidna: A-Ah! Yes! So that means this girl called Katarina Couteau is the Red Haired Demon from the Japanese's rumors? I don't have any suspicions on her considering she is a fighter and is known for being a troublemaker. Actually, I think Ratatoskr would be happy to have someone so bloody around them as even them need killers to get rid of their political enemies and opponents.''

Mina gave the ID Card to Echidna and walked towards her coffee machine, where she began to extract coffee from there with a cup.

''- Mina: Katarina is the secondary and less important matter here, Echidna. The reason I put her in my Black List is because she used to live with the lost princess of Aldegyr Kingdom, La Folia Rihavein. The ID Card you're holding once was in her hands... Before her supposedly "death" in Aldegyr.''

''Echidna was now getting more lost in her words. Nothing of what Mina was saying made sense. She could not find a link to why Katarina, the Red Haired Demon, was living with the princess of Aldegyr Kingdom, La Folia Rihavein, like if they were a family... Actually, she was thinking this "crossover" in real life was completely impossible.''



''- Mina: La Folia Rihavein died in Aldegyr Kingdom, this is a truth that can't be denied. But why we found we the thumb marks of La Fola Rihavein in the Global Pact Defense's contract?''

''We have some time to explain, once you join the Global Pact Defense you have to sign a contract with them. This contract includes all types of body's marks, like eyes, fingers, blood and hair (everything that can be used to identify you in a DNA test). ''

- Echidna: So you're saying the thumb marks of La Folia were found in the documents of GDP at the same day that Katarina Couteau, Lucas Kellan and the others joined Ratatoskr's ranks.

Mina snapped her fingers as she drank her coffee.

''- Mina: Bingo! Exactly! You know, Echidna... I believe La Folia Rihavein is alive and is currently living in the identity of another person. The only person I can think of is this Imperia Deamonne... Who is the true owner of the contract that has La Folia's thumb marks. There is also another "normal" girl working to Ratatoskr besides Imperia and Katarina. Her name is Asuha Chigusa, she is a 15-years old schoolgirl who was once targeted by the vicious Jack the Ripper of 21st Century, however, the serial killer's spree-killings stopped before he could kill Asuha Chigusa. I suspected she was La Folia Rihavein but her family works to Global Pact Defense since its foundation, so there is not any evidence La Folia found a new family. Also, the thumb marks of Asuha in the contract are completely original and equal to all her previous digital signatures.''



''The secretery furrowed his brow as she pondered this thought over. ''

''- Echidna: So you believe Imperia Deamonne is actually La Folia Rihavein? If Aldegyr Kindom still existed we could have sent a squad of experts to examine the body but the entire capital is gone.''

''- Mina: Yes, this is in what I believe. And not only that. Imperia Deamonne is a Cyborg, a KnightWalker-class Cyborg... A high-level Cyborg. Now, answer me this, Echidna: howcan  such powerful KnightWalker Cyborg exist if she doesn't even is registered in the list of KnightWalker-Cyborgs list?''

''The KnightWalker-Cyborg list is a digital list where all Cyborgs that serve the organization are registered. All Cyborgs were once humans so they passed through a brutal surgery to replace their human parts with nano-machines. In this list, your number and new nickname are added to identify you're an official Cyborg of the family.''



''- Echidna: I don't know. If she was officially in the army of KnightWalker Family then they must have used her at some point in the battlefield.''

''Echidna took a good look at the photo in the ID Card and tried to compare her face with Imperia in her thoughts. They were, however, completely different people. She thought about plastic surgery but it would take months to leave her with another face. No to mention even her height and weight were differents.''

''- Mina: They never used her because she was never one of them. I'm convinced that Imperia Deamonne is La Folia Rihavein turned into a Cyborg. This is huge news that might shock the rest of what is left of the world... As you know, Echidna, humans can be turned into Cyborgs by other Cyborgs. Let's call those Cyborgs in Master-Cyborgs for being the person who turned the human in Servant-Cyborgs. Using nano-machines in a direct surgery conducted by the Master-Cyborg, humans and even animals can become KnightWalker-Cyborgs. We have a plenty of examples to list here but mentioning all of them would a pain in the ass.''

Echidna returned the ID Card to Mina as she finished her coffee.

''- Echidna: Well, if Imperia Deamonne is actually La Folia Rihavein then that must be the reason why Ratatoskr is keeping themselves closed to GDP since the battle of Aldegyr. I'm actually shocked with this revelation, I never thought Kotori would commit such thing. This is more than treason to the country and her people. ''

''Echidna never liked Kotori anyway due to her confidence. Having a reason to kill her is very comforting actually.''

- Echidna: And about this ID Card, how did you get it from the Catholics?



''Mina put her hands in this ID Card before after La Folia Rihavein escaped from Sleepy Hollow, or better, from the Sleepy Hollow from the year of 2013. ''

''- Mina: I was keeping my eyes in La Folia Rihavein even before her death in Aldegyr Kingdom. The secret motive behind it was mainly because of Katarina Couteau... Katarina's past is quite bizarre if I have to say. Well, returning to La Folia, I put my hands in this ID Card thanks to the terrorist Vento of the Front. ''

Vento of the Front was once a member of the God's Right Seat in Roman Catholic Church but after the day she joined Maria Arzonia's cause she became a terrorist in the eyes of KnightWalker Alliance.

''- Mina: Don't worry. I did not have direct contact with Vento. One of my spies stole it from her during the election to the new Pope of Vatican, 2036. Simple answer, don't you think?''

''Echidna was waiting for something more shocking like a traitor between the members of La Nueva Familia de Arzonia but that was not the case. It was something rather simple and boring.''

''- Echidna: Ahh... Just that. Well, since we know Imperia Deamonne is La Folia Rihavein, we know how we can expose Ratatoskr to the public.''

Mina put her hands in Echidna's face and began to play with her lips.

''- Mina: We don't need to expose them. Ratatoskr is a secret organization so exposing their existence out of nowhere will make people less interested as the destruction and chaos caused by the Black Demons is more effective and important. Listen, Echidna.''

''Mina pulled a syringe from her pocket and showed it to her secretery. It was a transparent syringe full of an unknown orange liquid and a small ball of meat inside. That sphere of meat seemed to be alive.''

''- Mina: We can end those traitors in our own way. Just exposing them to the public is not enough. We need to destroy the base of their pillar and bring down everything they built so far. Their army. Their technology. Their knowledge. Everything! And to finish them we need toys! And this PERFECTION in my hands will be the key to unlock our new toys! These toys will wreck havoc Ratatoskr's central and bring an end to all our problems.''

- Echidna: Ty-oys?

As Mina was playing with Echidna's mouth, her words sounded incompressible.

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Mina: Yes... Echidna? Don't you think it's about time to call our little friends to deal with them? '

​​​​​

<p style="text-align:center;"> Somewhere above England <p style="text-align:center;"> Fraxinus <p style="text-align:center;"> Prison Sector <p style="text-align:center;"> 2 hours later

''- Ratatoskr's Guard: Check in, security. Cell block 4227.''

''2 hours had passed since Mina supposedly began her move against Ratatoskr. While her plans are yet to be revealed, Katarina Couteau, also known as the Red Haired Demon, was walking in the prison of Fraxinus. She seemed to be looking for someone in a specific cell.''

- Katarina: I don't remember the number of the cell, but I think it's somewhere around this sector.

''Fraxinus has a ton of cells inside of it. They probably have around 1000 cells divided in two Prison Sectors. Hard to believe but most of these cells are occupied with war prisioners. Inside of the cells, Ratatoskr is keeping scientists of Manufacturing Progressive Sciences, soldiers of KnightWalker Family, politics who are related to Godom Empire and even Cyborgs from Eckidina KnightWalker's personal guard.''



''- Security Droid: Hold it! Show me your identification!''

As Katarina was approaching a cell with gates of iron a security droid walked forward and stopped her from approaching the gate.

''- Katarina: I'm here to see Tomas Sev. As one of the Rogues, I have all rights to visit him.''

''Yes... Tomas Sev was arrested by Ratatoskr. He is in the prison for 1 month since the day that Mina Harker exposed the existence of the Black Demons to the world. ''

''- Security Droid: According to our new code, everyone in this is forbidden to enter in this cell. The commander Kotori Itsuka and vice-commander Kyouhei Kannazuki are the only ones allowed to visi--!''

Before the droid could continue a human guard approached and tried to protect Katarina.

''- Guard: This girl is a trusted ally. Even without ID she is allowed to enter in all places of this ship. Not to mention, Katarina Couteau is one of the strongest warriors.''

''Katarina is a special officer of Ratatoskr. She is not an enginner, guard or administrator but her role as warrior makes her an important and fundamental piece to victory in the eyes of Ratatoskr. In addition, Katarina is the second strongest warrior of Ratatoskr as a whole. Due to her inexperience in fighting, Katarina is weaker than Imperia.''

​​​​​​​

''- Katarina: You... I don't know your name but thank you!''

The guard then put his keycard in front of the gate, ignoring the presence of the droid. ''- Guard: Don't mention it. Those droids are really stupid. If you need help just call a human officer.''

''The guard smiled for a second and then walked away. The droid protecting the gate began to walk away too when the gate started to open.''

- Katarina: I will!

''In 2030s, humans and robots don't have the best of the relationships. Man and machine can never understand each other because one can express feelings while droids follow their programming. This happens often in KnightWalker Family, Manufacturing Progressive Sciences and even in Global Pact Defense.''

​​​​​​​

''When the gate was fully open, Katarina looked inside and saw another cell made of white iron bars. Inside of it, she could see Tomas meditating in peace.''

- Tomas: Katarina?

Katarina then entered on the cell and closed the door to prevent the guards from seeing what was going to happen inside.

- Katarina: I'm not here to give you a conjugal visit.

''A conjugal visit is a scheduled period in which an inmate of a prison or jail is permitted to spend several hours or days in private with a visitor, usually their legal spouse. The parties may engage in sexual activity. The generally recognized basis for permitting such visits in modern times is to preserve family bonds and increase the chances of success for a prisoner's eventual return to life after release from prison.''

''- Tomas: Really? That a pity.''

''Tomas was obviously joking. Apparently his feelings for Katarina ceased the moment he learned she has feelings for Rentaro. Like any normal man, Tomas gave up in the woman who feels love for another man... Tomas is a man of honour, he will never steal something from other people, including their feelings.''

''- Katarina: Yep... I brought you this.''

''Katarina slowly put her hands in her pocket and removed a small bottle of glass full of blood. At the moment Tomas saw that bottle he acted wildly and extended his hands to get it from Katarina by force.''



''Like a hungry animal, Tomas opened the bottle with his mouth and began to drink it. Obviously, Katarina closed the door to prevent people from seeing this abnormal scene. ''



- Katarina: The effects are growing stronger?

''Tomas heard her question but he was too busy drinking the blood. The moment Tomas opened his eyes they were glowing in red like if he was a vampire. Nobody saw Tomas acting like that before and judging by how Katarina is trying to hide this she is probably the only person who knows about this behavior.''

- Katarina: So you really became a Black Demon, Tomas?

''Tomas finished drinking the blood and put it on the ground beside him. He then began to lick his fingers and lips to drink the rest of the blood.''

- Tomas: Who gave you this blood?

"......................."

Tomas noticed that blood was from a human's and not from an animal.

''- Katarina: No one. I sneaked into the KnightWalkers cells and beat them until their blood came out. I collected a few liters of their blood in this bottle. This is the best I can do for you to control yourself.''

Tomas immediately jumped of the ground and held her shoulders through the bars.

''- Tomas: ARE YOU INSANE?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IF THEY DISCOVER YOU'RE BEATING PRISIONERS AROUND?!''

Katarina removed his hands from her shoulders with kindness.



''- Katarina: I know but some guards don't seem to care. Most of these prisioners are sadistic torturers, rapists, pedophiles and generals who commanded massacres to innocent people. They don't care what I do to them as long they don't discover I'm feeding you with their blood.''

''The guards protecting Katarina from being caught. This is obviously corruption as their duty is to protect the prisioners of Ratatoskr, however, some of them committed crimes so inhuman that most of the guards don't even care about their health. If they see a prisioners dying of heart attack they will just leave him there and report to their superiors they committed suicide... Cruel, but this is how humans act when "justice" is not around.''

''- Tomas: Let's just give up, Katarina. We don't know for how long we will be able to hide the truth... The truth that I'm becoming a Black Demon like that soldier said... If they caught you trying to help me they will surely arrest you for treason. ''

Katarina and Tomas remained in silence as the memories of 1 month ago became to pass in their heads.

Katarina's Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scenes from LOTM: Sword of Kings AA 2nd Season - Judgment Day



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Tomas: NO! I'M NOT A BLACK DEMON!! ''

<p style="text-align:center;">"....................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

<p style="text-align:center;"> [BANG!] 



''At the moment that the Ratatoskr soldier fired at Tomas for thinking he was a Black Demon like Mina Harker showed in the TV, a person quickly teleported in front of Tomas and destroyed the bullet with one hand. ''

Tomas could easily destroy that bullet but the events around him happened so fast that his brain could not process what was happening around him.

- Imperia: Scumbag.

The person who teleported in front of Tomas and destroyed the bullet was none other than Imperia Deamonne, who was obviously pissed off about how their own allies, the Ratatoskr, don't seem to trust in the Rogues.

- Tomas: Imperia!

''Imperia then dropped the dust of the bullet on the floor as a malicious grin appeared in her face. Feeling a scary aura coming from the cyborg, all security guards and soldiers of Ratatoskr at that hall pointed their weapons at Tomas and Imperia but such act only made the rest of the Rogues jump beside the two and form a combat formation to fight the incoming threat.''

''- Imperia: You dared to shoot my friend just because he was acting strange in Rio. Now you point your rotten weapons at us like if we are enemies. I don't care if you don't trust in us but blindly trying to kill one of us will result in a massacre. You should know, the Rogues don't fight for mankind or your bullcrap of America politicians, we have our own reasons to be here... So that's why...'' - Shigure: ...Don't expect us to show mercy once we began to slaughter you all.

''The atmosphere was tense like if they were next to a volcano... Never in the history of Ratatoskr there was such deadly moment that could result in a massacre. Imperia and Shigure were right, all Rogues are there because of their own motives to fight, such as revenge, money or have a brawl with some bastards out there.''



​​​​​​​''- Katarina: We just lost Mana! Now we have to endure your whinings?! We are in a bad mood now so we will not go easy on you all!''

Katarina and the other Rogues powered-up, leaving the normal human soldiers of Ratatoskr with their tails between their legs.

''- (???): Well, let's calm down! We are organized miitary group of Global Pact Defense and not a gang-street.''

''Suddenly, a woman came out of the group of soldiers and put down the guns of two soldiers next to her. She was wearing a military uniform of Ratatoskr, a Lieutenant uniform.''

- Ratatoskr Soldier 1: Lieutenant Elektra!



​​​​​​​''That woman with a smug in her face approached the Rogues with her arms on the air to show she was not going to do nothing suspicious. That woman is the Lietenant of Ratatoskr, Elektra. Elektra is a tall and imposing woman with long dark hair held in a ponytail, cruel purple eyes and red lipstick. She has a full slender figure and artificial right arm to replace the one lost during one of her battle against KnightWalker Family. Elekra's facial expressions are either cruel or angry.''

''- Jellal: What do you want, Elektra?! If you are here to say goodbye then do that fast before we kill you all!''

''Jellal and Lucas know perfectly how the armed forces of Ratatoskr never liked or trusted in the Rogues for receiving too much credits from Kotori and the council of Global Pact Defense. Elektra is one of those people who always hated the Rogues.''



''- Elektra: What vision do you have from me? I'm here to give orders to shoot you because I don't like you. First, I'm a disciplined lieutenant of Ratatosk, there is no way I'll order my men to shoot you without a reason. I admit we are the ones who started this, you must excuse me and men. I'll punish them later if it makes you less tense.''​​​​​​

''Kyouhei then stepped forward and nodded to show it was okay. The Rogues and the armed forces of Ratatoskr's fight came to a civilized ending without anyone being hurt or killed.''

- Lucas: If it's Kyouhei who is talking.

''Kyouhei is one of the few people in Ratatoskr that the Rogues can trust. The main reason why they gave up on fighting the armed forces was because Kyouhei was the man who asked for it in a few words.''



''- Kyouhei: Elektra is trying to end this civilized and I'm happy you decided to follow my instruction. I worked with the KnightWalker Funeral Parlor for many years. I witnessed many cruelties when I was there. When a subordinate rose his or her voice against the leadership they were immediately slice open for disobeying orders and being rude with people like Kureto Hīragi. I can endure watching my enemies being slaughtered but I hate to see my friends, my allies and my comrades killing themselves for trivial things that can be solved with a single word. Therefore, I must knowledge the fear of my guards and investigate Tomas Sev.''

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The Rogues' peace ended at the same moment that Kyouhei almost admitted that Tomas was also a demon like the others considered him to be.

- Asuha: KYOUHEI!

Asuha shouted at Kyouhei with the loudest tone possible.

- Lucas: You're saying he is a demon too?

''- (???): Exactly. Even Kyouhei should know this. This is what democracy is.''

''Kyouhei shook his head as suddenly a male voice echoed in the hall. It came from above, everyone looked up and saw a man seated in the iron bars of the ceilings. No one saw that man until now but he is very known among Fraxinus.''

''That man is the Commander of the Armed Forces of Ratatoskr, Torvaldo. He is a tall man with droopy green eyes which often become the target of insult against him. He has long green hair that he ties behind with an orange ribbon and a long fringe which he styles to cover the right side of his face. He also has piercings in his ears. His right leg is full of green scales and sharp nails. In all ways, he is considered very handsome and attractive.''



- Kyouhei: Torvaldo...

''Torvaldo jumped from the ceiling and landed beside Kyouhei, who looked uncomfortable with his presence. Kyouhei a man of few words and doesn't like to express his true thoughts to other peope beside Kotori Itsuka.''

''- Torvaldo: Listen, young ones. We have to investigate Tomas because this man still a suspect of being a demon in the eyes of our military. To achieve a peaceful way to end this little incident we have to abide by the requirements of both sides. We, now, promise the Rogues we will never hurt anyone of your group.''

''Torvaldo extended his arms to the side and smiled like a gentleman. He was truly trying to be a good person there.''

- Kyouhei: .....................

Kyouhei remained in silence until the handsome commander finished.



''- Torvaldo: Let's return to the past. Tomas Sev, 25-years old, American half-Japanese. Once a man who served the Global Pact Defense and VSA as a Magi-Tech soldier. After the end of Cold War II he gave up on his Magi-Tech powers and began a new life as a normal human soldier. 4 months ago this man joined Ratatoskr alongside his friends when the battle of Aldegyr Kingdom was over. A few hours ago, Ratatoskr and its commander, Kotori Itsuka, launched a secret military operation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to find out the whereabouts of the Revelation of Qliphoth. During this operation, Tomas Sev and the rest of the Rogues fought the Qliphoth demons in a deadly battle, but Tomas, in special, developed a strange behavior while killing the police force of BOPE, exposing a demonic behavior he never showed before.''

Torvaldo is a man who hates to let the small details pass, so the others had to hold their tongues and endure this long and boring speech.

''- Torvaldo: And then Mina Harker, the director of STAR LABS, expose how the Black Demons' birth work. We don't know exactly how a human become a Black Demon without the direct contact of another demon but we know that at least humans can become demons thanks to some kind of plague or black magic. If humans can become Black Demons then there must be no reason why Magi-Tech humans, Cyborgs, Meta-Humans and among others. So, in order to obey the terms of our side, we will arrest Tomas Sev to keep locked in a safe place where our men can watch over him to make sure he is not a demon.''

''Shigure thought this method was radical but it is best to arrest one person rather than have dozens killed in combat inside of their own HQ. ''

''- Shigure: So you're saying Tomas will be left in prison being watched to prove he is a demon? This is absolutely hat--!''

Before Shigure could disagree with Torvaldo, Tomas stepped forward and interrupted the short woman.

''- Tomas: No, Shigure. He is right. As long as I'm free this fight will never cease. I don't want anyone from my group and allies turn on ourselves because of me. Fine, Torvaldo. I'll accept your terms and I'll surrender myself to the armed forces of Ratatoskr.''



''Elektra scratched her ears while Kotori Itsuka suddenly appeared beside her. Until now, Kotori remained in silence even after witnessing the start of a new war. Probably, she wanted to see how the Rogues could end this using their own methods.''

''- Torvaldo: Then it's done. Arrest him, gentlemen.''

With a confident smile, Torvaldo ordered his men to handcuff Tomas and take him to the prison.

''- Kyouhei: Rest assured. I'll make sure Tomas will be treated with humanity and nothing will hurt him physically and psychologically.''

''Kyouhei then accompained the guards taking Tomas away while Katarina and the rest of the Rogues looked down in sadness. Even knowing this fight ended in a safe way the Rogues felt like if they lost by having someone taken away. Meanwhile, Elektra and Torvaldo looked at Tomas being taken away.''

- Kotori: How this is truly going to end?

Nowadays
After a few seconds thinking about what happened, Katarina and Tomas returned to their harsh reality.

- Katarina: 1 month had passed since, huh?

''Katarina opened her eyes after she remembered that humilliation. Sure, she doesn't hold a grudge with the armed forces of Ratatoskr for trying to kill one of them and then arrest him merely because they think he is a demon, she hates how they never trusted in the Rogues in the first place.''

"............................."

''- Tomas: We can't blame them... Actually, I think they are right. Until now, they only suspect I'm a Black Demon but after one month even I started to consider myself a demon. Katarina, once they discover I'm becoming a monster, I'm going to be executed without doubt.''

''Tomas don't want Katarina to get punished because of him but at the same time once they discover he is a monster he will be killed by Ratatoskr... For Tomas, there is no way out. Even if they only caught Katarina trying to help him they would discover she is giving him human blood, thus confirming the theory about him being a demon.''

''- Katarina: Tomas, it's okay. I'll never be caught. And if someone realise I'm helping then I'll just smash their heads and make them forget all they saw!''

Katarina's logic is simple and idiot, but at the same time, hilarious.

''- Tomas: Fufufufu... You're really a stupid woman... Katarina, I know I can't make you change your mind but at least take care of yourself. I don't want you guys to forget about me but I don't you all suffer because of me. I'm giving you authorization to tell Kotori and the others that I'm a Black Demon. But now if you refuse to tell them that means you'll continue to stand by my side. Are you sure about that?''

Katarina then stood up and walked towards the exit of the cell while looking back and giving Tomas a friendly expression of hope.

''- Katarina: We are friends. There is no way we can tell the others you're a monster. For us, the Rogues, you will be always Tomas. In addition, I already told the others you're a Black Demon. And what I mean by "others", I mean the Rogues. Imperia, Lucas, Jellal, Asuha, Atala... Everyone knows you're becoming a demon but nobody seems to care about it. They are all worried with you.''

Tomas put his head between his legs and began to cry in silence, he was trying to hide that side of him but the Red Haired Demon could easily see through his cover.



<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Katarina: You can cry all you want... That proves you're stil human, Tomas. Even if you're a monster in body, as long you have a human heart, you're still human.'

Part 1 - Noro


<p style="text-align:center;">''With the corruption of GDP and Stabilization Union, Kyoko Kirigiri, now a fugitive, takes refuge in Tenguu City, Japan, where she conducted a private investigation inside of the Japanese's underworld of crime to discover the true truth of how humans are becoming Black Demons out of nowhere. In one of her walks, she meets Rentaro Satomi by coincidence and attempts to convince Rentaro that they should work together to find where the infamous "Noro" virus is being sold; a plague that Kyoko believes to be the source of all appearances of demons around the globe.'' <p style="text-align:center;">Worried with the insane increase of demons' attacks in Catholic territory, the Supreme Father of Iscariot Section XIII, Leonardo, plans a coup d'etat on Vatican by using military strength in a near future. <p style="text-align:center;">When humanity begins turning on itself after the demons openly declared war, disgusted by the events and how Mina apathetic caused it, Kotori Itsuka sent Lucas Kellan and Atala Arck to Sleepy Hollow, now known as STAR Center, to deliver a message to stop her campaign before she decides to take the war against the Fallen's Essence to STAR LABS.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile...

<p style="text-align:center;"> Fraxinus

<p style="text-align:center;"> Navigation Room 

''The sound of his heart beating was awfully loud. Lucas made a small wry smile while making shoe noises in the wide corridor.''

- Atala: Are you okay?

''Beside Lucas, Atala Arck, slapped his back as he took a deep breath. Even though he came to such a place many times already, but it seems he can't get quite use to it. Atala seemed to be not bothered at all. ''

''- Lucas: Yes... I'm just not used to be called like this. It's rare for Kotori call just two people in private.''

'' After they stopped their legs in front of the door, Lucas took a deep breath. And then Lucas knocked on it. ''

- Lucas: Lucas Kellan and Atala Arck, has arrived.

After Lucas identified themselves, Kotori's voice could be heard from the other side of the door.

- Kotori: Enter.

''After Kotori replied shortly, the duo opened the door and entered the room. The inside of the room looked like a library. The four sides of the room were covered with bookshelves and have leather covered books stored on it. They doesn't know the full details of it. ''

That was only normal, since the books that were opened on the desk didn't only have letters written on it but rather in exchange, it had Braille lined up in it.

''- Lucas: So? What do you need?''

And in the deepest part of the room, Kotori was there.

''- Kotori: Thanks for coming... You guys are the ones who I trust the most to give you this simple and short mission!''

Like a stupid loli, Kotori made a rather childish welcome posture but soon her commander personality returned.

While saying that, she turned her chair around and turned her face towards Atala and Lucas.​​​​​​

''- Atala: What's up with this "imotou" voice. This is annoying.''

''Imouto is the Japanese Romaji for 'little sister. When referring to ones own family, or someone who is not unlike family, such as a lifelong or childhood friend, it can just be said as imouto. However, when referring to another family, you should always add a suffix on the end, such as imouto-san, unless given consent otherwise. Considering the cute way Kotori used, Atala was probably thinking about small little sisters in animes. These kind of anime girls are very popular in Japan.''



''- Kotori: I just did that for the lulz. No real intentions in trying that for some obvious reasons. Anyway, Atala and Lucas, I called you here because you're the best stealth warriors of the Rogues. You two have amazing skills of spies and infiltrators. That's why I called you here... ''

''- Atala: Hmm... Calling two "infiltrators" here, then it must be a delicated operation.''

Atala sharpened her eyes while Kotori nodded like a profissional.

''- Kotori: I'll be very straight: Lucas Kellan and Atala Arck, you were both assigned to this mission by the commander Kotori Itsuka to deliver a message to Mina Harker, who is currently living in the capital of STAR LABS, STAR Central. Now, you are wondering what exactly is this message. ''



''It was indeed a very strange mission from the very start. If Kotori wanted she could easily send a message to Mina via e-mail or hologram but it's not that simple. However, considering that Ratatoskr are now fugitives from the law the STAR LABS would easily track their transmission and locate where their ship are flying... It was more safe to sent living messangers to where Mina is.''

''- Lucas: Making us step in enemy territory. You better have a good reason, Kotori.'' Kotori then stood up and stared at the two with a dead serious expression.

- Atala: Hum.

Kotori then crossed her arms.

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Kotori: Oh and it is... A declaration of war.' 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Japan

<p style="text-align:center;"> Tenguu City

<p style="text-align:center;"><u style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;">Underworld

<p style="text-align:center;"><u style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;">6 hours later

Within his cloudy consciousness caused by his fever, the former young student of Raizen High School, Rentaro Satomi  was slowly walking in the city.

''He was getting vague feelings as if his body was melting like a doll somehow managing to maintain its shape. Actually, it’s even a miracle that he can walk with his legs while maintaining his sense of balance. But even so, his walking posture was getting better than before for some reason. People at the sidelines won’t think that Rentaro is suffering a serious sickness if they saw him. ''

''- Rentaro: Eh? What was I doing?''

''After thinking that far, Rentaro stopped on the road and tilted his head. He could not remember why he is here in the first place and where he is walking towards to. Thinking back, he woke up in an unfamiliar street, in a dark alley between two buildings. The instant he noticed that, Rentaro felt that he should not be there... The last thing Rentaro remember is that he was cooking in his house when suddenly he fainted for no reason whatsoever. ''

- Rentaro: How did I get in here?



''Rentaro's eyes looked gloomy, tired and lifeless, it was like the eyes of someone who suffered brainwash or was being controlled like a puppet. Never in his life, Rentaro felt something similar, his body was heavy and he was feeling dizzy. For some reason, he ended there, but no ones knows how. Actually, the moment he fainted in his house was exactly 1 hour ago, meaning that he is outside for almost 1 hour.''

''- Rentaro: What in the world... Where I am?''

''Rentaro looked around with fear and confusion, it was a rather normal feeling. There are stories of sleepwalkers all across the world for thousand years but Rentaro is not one of those people.''

''After a while of walking, he reached to a familiar lane of buildings. There was a wide road and several shops were lined beside it. It’s the Tenguu main street that Rentaro often comes for shopping.''

''- Rentaro (think): *Seriously, how did I arrive here? I swear I was making dinner for my parents when I feel asleep.*''

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - (???): Yeah! Listen to my song and cower in fear! ''

''Rentaro continued walking until he left from the center of the city and arrived in a dangerous district of the town. Despite Rentaro knows a big part of this city in the palm of his hands, his confusion made his made less active than before, making him forget the name of the street he was.''

''After some time walking, Rentaro was now finally in a dark and cold street with no humans and animals on sight. However, on the other side of the street, there was a car full of Japanese rappers singing some kind of dark rap.''

- Rentaro: I can't stay here.

''Rentaro speed up his steps but the music of the rappers could be heard even from 1 kilometer away... And while the song was entering in his ears, he noticed that rap was not a normal one, it was a song dedicated to the suffering, paranoia and fear of Asian society in the face of the threat of the Black Demons. The environment he was passing by only added more anxiety. In all sides, Rentaro caught sight of anti-demon posters, hate propaganda, photos of  celebrities being chased by reporters and among others.''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Rapper 1: ♬ Yeah! Listen to my song and cower in fear! ♬ ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Rapper 1: ♫ Yo, you heard? Demons be real, that's the word! ♫ ''

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Rapper 2: ♫ Over here, out there! Demons be lurkin' everywhere! ♫ ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Rapper 3: ♫ What form is they takin'? Tell me how they look, Hell if I know, but they got me shook! ♫ ''

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Rapper 4: ♫ They demons, so they evil! Demons is as demons do! Make them ugly grills illegal! ♫ ''

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Rapper 6: ♪ You a demon? ♪ ''

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Rapper 7: ♪ Hell no! ♪ 



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Rapper 8: ♫ Yeah, you say that, but I don't know! I only know me, and how I roll! Not out to please peeps! Just out to protect me! Mess around, might get shanked from the back! ♫ ''

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Rapper 1: ♫ Let that guard down, might get took for all your bank! The cullin' of the weak! Shit ain't never gonna change! The ones that get shook, get guns and hit the streets! ♫ ''

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Rapper 3: ♫ But most ain't shook, and ain't packin' no heat! Last mistake, they'll ever make! 'Cuz with guns at stake the first to grab are the worst of us! Shots pop off, the first to die are the best of us! ♫ ''

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Rapper 5: ♫ Nobody knows friend from foe! Getting tested as we should! To stay humans fo' sho'! Needle o' truth! Haystack o'doubt! Needle o' truth! Haystack o'doubt! ♫ ''

''Rentaro continued walking until the rap could no longer be heard... But everything he saw as the music sounded in his ears made him aware of what is happening in Tenguu City after the rise of the Black Demons on Earth.'' He noticed one more abnormality as he walked into a dark hallway between old buildings. ''Rentaro looked downwards to peek at his own appearance, it was his familiar, often worn, Raizen high school uniform. Although he put on the blazer because it was hung beside the bed in his house, he was not wearing any winter clothings like a coat. But even so, Rentaro was not feeling any sense of cold like just now. He is so okay that he first noticed this after looking at the outfits of the pedestrians.  No way, is it because he has a fever, no such thing. It feels as if an invisible film was surrounding him and was maintaining a suitable temperature for his body.  - Rentaro: Hm?'' ''Rentaro then heard voices of people next to him, the place itself was not silence. Before he could notice, the young boy walked into a red light district... And he was basically in a alley where prostitutes offered sex exchange of money. Almost 20 meters away from him Rentaro heard groans of a woman and a man, those moans were not from pain, but pleasure. He then spotted a prostitute a having sex with a man on the dirty floor of the alley, the woman apparently noticed him first but she ignored him.'' - Rentaro: .............. ''Rentaro could the smell disgusting smoke of people smoking drugs and the bizarre smell of urine. He then quickly walked away to leave that place but instead he just walked further into the red light district and arrived in a long street full of sex shops and strip clubs.'' ''A red-light district or pleasure district is a part of an urban area where a concentration of prostitution and sex-oriented businesses, such as sex shops, strip clubs, and adult theaters are found. Areas in many big cities around the world have acquired an international reputation as red-light districts. The term red-light district originates from the red lights that were used as signs of brothels.'' - Rentaro: ............ ''Rentaro continued walking ignoring everyone around him. Some prostitutes could be saw giggling as he was passing by, mainly because he was young and was kind cute compared to the old males in the district. Indeed, 100% of all men on that district are middle-age men, there are signs of teenage boys or young men.'' - Rentaro: How did I end here? - (???): I never thought you were into this, Rentaro. "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ''After Rentaro was idling, a soft female voice as such could be heard suddenly from behind. That voice''

<p style="text-align:center;"> 1 hour later













Lusamine's Flashback
''- CM: I have an important mission for you. Lusamine. ''

After saying that, CM walked towards the window of the office while drinking wine.

''- CM: It's a mission class S+. That means it's a direct mission from my original self, the Unit-CM 130 with Cyborg body. Despite my name as CM, I'm merely a clone so I have to follow his orders. And my duty here in Novosic is to follow his commands until he reaches his master plan.''

Lusamine seated in the sofa beside her and watched CM summoning a hologram of the planet Earth out of nowhere.



- Lusamine: This is...

CM showed her the hologram of Earth and approached her.

''- CM: Lusamine, your mission is not here nor Paris. It's in a more distant place from the hands of MPS. This place is located in China, what was once one of the most powerful nations of this world in both military and economy... ''

''Lusamine was a little confused with that mission before he could even say what is it. China is now a dead land without life, there is only death and destruction there thanks to KA and Ultimate Despair's constant nuclear attacks coming from all sides. Not even China could defend themselves from such situation. Soon, the same would happen with USA but that day was long to happen.''​​​​​​



''- Lusamine: China? I know that Akrak once sent squad of droids there to kidnap civilians to be used her human experiments in Brazil but technically speaking... There is nothing there.''

''CM shook his head with a gentle smile before approaching the hologram and zooming the island of Hainan in China. By terms of geography, it was small compared to other next islands.''

- Lusamine: Hainan?

''CM nodded and extended his hands to put the hologram in her hands. Like if that thing was organic, Lusamine held the hologram in her hands with a curious face.''

''- CM: Not all of China is completely destroyed. Due to Russia and North Korea cutting their bounds with China, the three ended in conflict. Even so, the Chinese are not so stupid, actually, they are the most intelligent nation of this world. 2 decades before this war started, they were already starting to plan they Apocalypse Survival plan which was a plan that would consists in transferring most of the survivors of the main land of China to Hainan where the government created.''

Lusamine knew about that plan since she was involved with a grand part of the schemes and secret military operations happening inside of Asia.



''- Lusamine: I know that. At the year of 2019, the Chinese government built a new town in Hainan. This town is called Hengsha. When the WWIII started, the main land of China was bombed from all directions making the nation extremely vulnerable. Because of that, most of its territory was lost due to the radiation so the government had to move the survivors to Hainan. The city is now so densely populated that they had to built a second street level that was built above ground level, on top of an enormous structure called the Pangu. Nicknamed the Jewel of the Yangtze River, it is at the heart of the global augmentation industry, with Tai Yong Medical headquartered within the city. The lower city is divided into three major districts, Daigong, Kuaigan, and Youzhao, with various levels and sublevels. The roof level of the main district is home to the Hung Hua Hotel and The Hive. The Daigong district to the east is the walking path through to the Jiu Schichang District where the LIMB clinic and Alice Garden Pods are located, although there is also a subway train to/from Youzh--!''

Before Lusamine could continue to explain the city of Hengsha in details, CM rose his hand as a signal to stop her from speaking.



''- CM: Okay, okay! That's enough! But... Interesting, you've knowledge of our target. That makes thing easier for me and the Cyborg CM... Indeed the China is so lifeless that they had to move the survivors to Hengsha, causing the city to be overpopulated and it resulted in the government to built a new city upon the ground city... Tsk... Chinese are really amazing... They did it in less than 4 months.''

Lusamine widened her gaze a little when she heard the word "target".

''- Lusamine: Huh? Did you say target?''



CM nodded again but smiled maliciously yet like a gentleman.

''- CM: Yes, our target... And it's final mission, Lusamine. After finishing this quest, CM will finally free you from your post as his Secretary and you will return to be director of Sephirah Gastronomics like you were before.''

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

''Lusamine could not help herself but to cry in happiness and satisfaction... After many weeks working to CM like a murdering slave, she can finally stop inflicting pain in other humans and return to be that mere director of Sephirah Gastronomics.''

''- Lusamine: R-Really?! I'll be free again?! That makes me so happy... So happy... Thanks... Unit-CM 130...''



''Lusamine was trying to hold her tears but couldn't... Of course she was happy, she was killing children and even pregnant women in the name of CM's twisted ideals of science. Nothing could make her happier than being free from that nightmare. She was never murdered yet she was forced to kill from day to night.''

''- CM: I'm glad you're so excited for you freedom but we have business to take care of. First, let's recall in what we are working. Do you remember that Zoyineian Black Demon that our mercenaries killed weeks ago... If I recall her name was...''

Lusamine remembered the name of that "woman" the Zero Numbers killed and added.

''- Lusamine: Revy. Revy was her name. She was a former rebel from KnightWalker Funeral Parlor but after its downfall, she went hiding for terrorism.''

''Revy was never a terrorist, her goals to destroy KnightWalker Family were genuine. She wanted freedom and justice not more war and violence. Yet, there is nothing that can be done to undo what their superiors, the Moon Terminator Company, did at the time of the war. It was because of MTC the KFP was saw as terrorist and extremist rebels.''



''- CM: Ah, yes. Revy. That's her name. Well, continuing where we stopped. After some studies and research, the Cyborg CM could use the heart of Revy that was removed by Yuuki Terumi and Vergil during their battle. The hearts of the Zoyineian is the source of their power and is what makes them ageless, in other words, the Zoyineian demons are immortals once they discover their true power.''

''The point he was trying to reach is that CM has been studying the heart of Revy that Terumi and Vergil removed from her body. Due to Terumi's immortality curse, her heart still beating and she still alive even after being cut to pieces.''

''- Lusamine: Zoyineian demons... I never heard about them before but CM continued speaking about while I was during my work. What exactly are those demons? Creatures from Hell?''

''CM giggled and put his hands in his back like a military officer. Lusamine was extremely curious now because she took interest in those Zoyineian-Black Demons from the time that CM mentioned it weeks ago.''



''- CM: Indeed, there are demons that comes from Hell in this world, Lusamine... But the Zoyineian Black Demons are not demons born from evil spirits or negative energy. The Zoyineian-Black Demons are like artificial humans born from pure quantum energy. To become a Zoyineian-Black Demon you have to be in direct contact with their energy. After some historical studies, I discovered the MTC and even the KnightWalker Family were performing human experiments with something called Tech of the End. This Tech of the End was the source of all Zoyineian-Black Demons but after some conflicts that results in the death of millions, the Tech of the End was destroyed and the Zoyineian-Black Demons disappeared. ''

Lusamine immediately remembered something important...

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Lusamine: The battle of Ward Walker 24 in Tokyo 3 years ago...

CM closed his eyes and walked towards the window. ''- CM: Yes, the battle that happened in the Ward Walker 24 in Tokyo 3 years ago... That battle marked the final conflict between KnightWalker Family and KnightWalker Funeral Parlor. It not only ended that civil war but ended the era of the rise of the Zoyineian-Black Demons. Due to the censorship of Global Pact Defense, the details and what truly happened in that base are unknown but according to my calculations, it was there where the Zoyineian-Black Demons fell and went into extinction.''

With an evil grin, the light and good aura around CM became more and more dark.

''- CM: But how the Zoyineian-Black Demons died and their race came to an end. That does not matter to me because I only care for their power and potential. They are an incredible specimen worthy of studying and knowing. Just by case, the Unit-CM 130 already knew the existence of those demons even long before he came to Earth so he knows clearly how to manipulate their power. Using Petras Diamonds from the planet Kaash, we can turn the energy of the Zoyineian-Black Demons in an organic virus. Isn't that amazing?''

''Lusamine was trying to understand what was the connection between the Zoyineian-Black Demons with Hengsha. Of course, she was clearly knowing every meaning of his words but not the connection between those two different matters.''

''- Lusamine: It's impressive... I guess... But what I have to do with it?''



''- CM: Ahh... Yes. The truth is, it's the first time we did something so good like this. Turning abstract energy in organic cells. Hmm... This is what I call amazing. We want to test them. Its potential to become a perfect weapon. Right now, Lusamine, we have 200 VTOLs transporting some missiles filled with those virus and are being transported to Paris, where they will pass under inspection and dispatched... Lusamine, your final mission is to take the lead of the VTOL squad and bomb Hengsha to turn all population of that small and disgusting island into mindless Zoyineian Demons.''



<p style="text-align:center;">' - Lusamine: What... '

''Lusamine widened her eyes in sheer terror... She was not expecting THAT to be her final mission to finally gain freedom again. That shock was so deep that the world around her went black and white, making her dizzy.''

''- CM: The VTOLs will fly above the island from the North and drop heavy missiles of gas Into the main town and its borders. That Black Gas shall spread across the island in less than 4 hours if the VTOLs hit their right target.''

Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scenes from LOTM: Sword of Kings AA 2nd Season - The Will of Qliphoth 

"....................."

- Matt: Ugh, Ack, Ha...

''Matt and Maria stared at the screen for a long time even after the video was finished. The screen was blank and the only thing showing was a black screen with a message: "Transmission Cut."''

''The two were scared until their very core of their souls, usually they would only see that kind of scene in horror films from Hollywood but the two knew exactly that video was too real to be a fake film or a montage. The guards and scientists' uniforms are very familiar to these two since they have fought them before in Morte, the base of Akrak Couteau in Amazonas.''

- Maria: W-What did we just saw?

''Maria widened her eyes for a very long time until a hot feeling inside, burning like a hellish flame, took over her mind and her scared face changed to a serious expression... Deep inside, she was burning in wrath for what the MPS did not only to those men in the video but for all innocent civilians Akrak tortured in humans experiments for the "sake of science"... This is at least what they consider their crimes are.''

''- Matt: I think... We just witnessed some kind of mutation experiment. Something related to a biological weapon to turn people into monsters.''

''Matt recovered his calm and returned to his senses. Indeed, what he saw was so terrible that he had to close his eyes in some parts of the video but compared to all cruelty he saw in Morte, where it was a real-life experience, that video is nothing.''

''- Matt: I think I can control this console. Misogi didn't have enough to trouble to control it. The only thing I have to do is to find the central file of this video and discover more details about this experiment. It looks like what Melancholia did with Carl's blood but this one seems to be worse as it only not leave the victim insane but turn him or her in a demonic creature...''

''Putting his hands to work, Matt started to work on the console and closed the video. The codes of the MPS' system was very complex but after some time, he found several images of missiles, designs to missiles from KnightWalker class. Those missiles were almost like several nuclear warhead used by all nations of the world but they were painted with red colors and had several compartment in their backs, shining in a red color.''​​​​​​

- Maria: What is it, Matt?

- Matt: I just accessed the file of the video... These images must be the design of missiles of MPS. I don't know exactly what is the meaning of th--

''Before Matt could finish, Maria spotted a small file on the right corner of the screen with the icon of three small capsules of virus. The file had the name of "Operation Gigalomaniac. Update Version".''

''- Maria: Matt, access that file over there... I remember I saw the word "Gigalomaniac" in one of the documents of the scientists we saw in the video.''

''Maria has good eyes... Indeed, in the papers the scientists were holding. Just being able to find it in just one roll this person must be a genius.''

- Matt: Okay then...

''Matt clicked on the file and the only they saw was another video. Fearing that must be another brutal video, Matt and Maria prepared themselves to receive the impact but it was nothing related to gore or human experiments. It was like a documentary in English. The image they saw was the Earth being bombed by several nuclear missiles... However, it was only an introduction gif.''



And then, a female voice began to speak, narrating the video while a bunch of images and very well-designed plans and structures of missiles started to appear in the video.

''- Narrator: [Thank you for acessing the tutorial of Gigalomaniac Project, a scientific project and experiments performed by Unit-CM 130, the director of Manufacturing Progressive Sciences. In this tutorial, we are going to explain all steps and details of the secret project that is known only by the directors and scientists of MPS involved in the project].''

Maria and Matt paid attention to the video in total concentration.

''- Narrator: [The Gigalomaniac Project is a mass-extermination of a race through a biological military weapon to be used in a local planet. For summary, the lethal virus of the Gigalomaniac was born from the Zoyineian Black Demons, a race of artificial demons created by the Dark Empire of the Sith located in a distant universe. Thanks to the efforts of the directors, we managed to convert the virus into a controllabe weapon by our scientists, a virus that can inflict damage to both allies and enemies like. Considering most of MPS' army are composed of robots, the disease doesn't seem to affect them but only organic beings suffer from the plague. The Zoyineian Virus was also a devastating virus that plagued a distant galaxy of Milk Away generations before the World War III. It's believed some Zoyineian Black Demon once appeared in other galaxies of this universe. In 604,000,000 B.C., it eradicated the population of the galaxy and its colonies. A galaxy that according to our research, is not known by the population of Earth yet. The Virus is notorious for being able to affect every species in a planet, and is said to be completely fatal, and was supposedly incurable, so fatal that not even MPS found a cure until the time of this video. In addition, the virus was a waterborne but thanks to the advances of science, we from MPS found a way to evolve the virus to be used in the oxygen of a world, making it much more dangerous].''

- Matt: Jesus Christ...

Maria clenched her fists and yelled at the screen.

''- Maria: WAIT! This is a freaking alien disease? What we saw in the video was some virus from another galaxy?!''

Matt slowly turned his sight to her and nodded.

- Matt: It seems s--

Before Matt could finish and the video ended, she immediately searched for an pendrive entrance in the console and inserted the pendrive Misogi gave to her before he left.

''- Maria (think): *So this is what you were trying to mention, Misogi... You did not want to kill us, you brought us here because we were the only ones who you could trust!*''

Matt rushed towards Maria with a worried expression.

''- Matt: Maria! What are you doing?!''

''Maria is not an expert in technology much like Katarina but she know clearly how to transfer the data of a computer to a pendrive. Nowadays, even a 4-year old can do that. And just like that, she started to transfer all those files related to Gigalomaniac Project to Misogi's pendrive.''

''- Maria: The obvious thing! I don't need to watch more of this to understand what we are dealing with! Matt, we need to show this to Ratatoskr, they are better in dealing with than us.''

Matt also clearly knew what we was witnessing was the beginning of a worldwide apocalypse where the MPS would use those missiles he saw before as methods to transport that Zoyineian Virus to other continents but seeing Maria in that state was even more scary.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Maria: We got to tell, Kotori.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Scenes from LOTM: Sword of Kings Special: Tales of a Lost Hero - Part 2 



''Seeing the ship flying above them, all Black Demos regrouped beside Burckhardt as the soldiers from Chronos Empire and rebels did not dare to attack them again after witnessing their strength. After many minutes of fight, Vira's private army did not lose ANYONE. Her army is so powerful that all Rogues decided to not mess with them when they are leaving.''

''- Kruel: Now, we are going to leave this place. Time to summon the QG Portal.''

''As Vira's troops regrouped around Burckhardt, Vira, her knight and other soldiers stood beside Kruel while she raised her right hand and prepared to summon a portal to take everyone of her faction back to the ship from where they came from. After a few seconds, Kruel started to speak in Latin... No matter how it can be seen, she is spelling a black magic.''



- Kruel: 'Je renonce? Tous les biens tant spirituels que corporels qui me pourraient estre conferez de la part de Dieu! De la vierge Marie! Et de tous les, oui, les saincts du Paradis! Pareillement de mon patron saint Jean Baptiste! Saint Paul! Saint Pierre! Et Saint Franois! Et de me donner de corpsa Astaroth!'

''When Kruel finished her spell, she pressed her right palm against the floor while everyone, be they allies or enemy watched her ritual. At the same moment she pressed her hands on the floor, a giant portal similar to the entrance of a dark ancient temple came out of the ground, much to the shock of everyone there. ''



- Katya: Black Cult...

''Hearing those soft words, Burckhardt stared at Katya on the righ corner of the outpost. While the Black Demons from Vira's army started to enter on the teleport, ''

''- Burckhardt: Ooh... So you're there, Katya. The woman who leads a rebellion against our Astaroth King. I never thought I would see you here. What happened? I thought with your power you could easily destroy... So is it? Slayer of Demons?''

''Indeed, Katya is by far the strongest person there... Even more than Katarina, Tomas and Imperia together. When Katya fought the Black God some days ago, she proved her value and power on the battlefield where she sealed the Black God from the Black Cult (the cult wheres Vira and her allies serves) in the moon.''

''- Katya: Tsk... You are on a total different level. Your Blackness is strong that I cannot even unleash my Light Magic energy here. You all are monsters in a total different level from the Black God and other average Black Demons.''



''Burckhardt giggled after watching the prideful Katya admitting defeat... For Katya, the most prideful magician of the planet to assume defeat even without trying to fight must be a joke for the ears of those who were not next to her at that moment... Yes, Vira and her Black Demons were so superior that she could not even use her Light Magic to fight back.''

- Burckhardt: Huh.

''Burckhardt then entered on the teleport alongside Kruel and the other knights. Now, with all Black Demons gone, there was only Vira, standing on the middle of the temple.''



"....................................."

''A very sinister silence invaded the atmosphere of the outpost. Despite the Black Demons were gone, the Rogues and all other soldiers feel a strangre and uncomfortable feeling from Vira.''

''- Vira: Hmmm... I'm forgetting something...''

Vira put her right hand in her cheek and tried to remember for something she was supposed to do.

- All: ..........................

''Everyone were ready to combat because at that point they cannot trust Vira when she has such high power level. Katarina tried to grab her sword but just thinking that she might kill Vira made her change her mind and lowered her head in depression.''

- Imperia: Katarina...

''Imperia felt bad for Katarina for witnessing such shock... Yet, they still don't know who the hell in that woman known as Vira who is very similar to the deceased Eugen Katsuragi but older.''



''- Vira: I killed one of them. Check! I got the Infinity Clock hand. Check! I introduced myself to onne-san. Check! '''I found the lost Black Demon... Ohhh! That's it!'

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

''Like a hitwoman, Vira quickly pulled out her sword and sent a powerful wave of blackness at the Rogues. That wave was so big that it had 15 meters of height but was thin as a paper. However, the wave was so powerful that it pushed all objects where it passed by making people next to it be pushed almost 14 meters from where they were standing, even killing some guinea pigs on the process.''

''- Tomas: LUCAS! GET AWAY FRO---!''



''Before they could notice, Lucas was right on the center of the attack and would be cut in half if wasn't for Tomas' bravure. Fast like a Jaguar, Tomas moved his body towards Lucas' location and pushed him out of the way of the attack. However, at the same moment he saved his friend, he was hit by the attack and was taken away by the wave until the wave hit the wall of the outpost and vanished in dark purple smoke.''

''After a few seconds, the dark smoke was gone and Tomas could be seen exactly where the wave hit the wall. For the surprise of many, he was alive but very injured. ''

Tomas tried to get up after that brutal attack but when he looked at belly, he saw a small piece of wood stained in Vira's Blackness stuck there.

- Jellal: Tomas!

Jellal and all Rogues who were next to him rushed at him to give him medical attention.

''- Vira: My work here is done! See ya!''



''Imperia bit her lips in rage and tried to run towards Vira to hit her back while she is entering in the portal. Using her nano-machines, Imperia shots a powerful energy beam at Vira's back but before it could reach her, Vira had already disappeared inside of the portal, making the attack useless.''

''Imperia then looked around and saw hundreds of soldiers injured by the Black Demons and Vira's black wave. All of them had at least one of their limbs cut off... That was a brutal scene of a war scenary.''

- Atala: Now, that was scary.

''On the middle of Königsberg, the former capital of Prussia, there were no signals of life. Instead, the whole land around the capital was stained in black... And what was previously known as Konigsberg, was now surrounded by a black shield that had the format of giant black ball.''



''Inside of that shield the scenery was even more grotesque, sad and horrible. When the World War III started, a demonic force used the conflict to invade Prussia and took over their nation. With too many chaos happening across the planet, Prussia was forgotten by United Nations alongside many other nations.''

The whole capitol of Prussia became a rotten territory, houses and buildings became some type of black and disgusting stone that formed a spiral swirl around a giant castle made of the same substance.



''Inside of the castle that reached the clouds, the environment was dark and sinister. The entire castle was made of black stones with some kind of bright diamond to lit up the dark castle. Like all castles, that disgusting place had a Throne Hall and it was located on the middle of the castle. The Throne Hall was a very large place with many pillars stained in black. And at the end of the hall, there was a throne with a man seated on it.''

''That dark man was wearing some kind of black king clothes like if he was some type of medieval king that came out of a fantasy game. He had the face of an old man with white beard and silver long hairs.''



''- Dark Man: The Griemoire Heart... So you had this with you, Heis...''

''The king was looking at a book in his hands. He named the book as Grimoire Heart. Right in front of him, there was a girl a black Gothic dress and long silver hairs. If normal people had to compare these people, they'll probably say they're similar and are a family... But they would be wrong. That girl was Heis... The twin sister of La Folia Rihavein (now known as Imperia Deamonne).''



''- Heis: No, King! I stole it! Using my skills, I entered in the secret base of your Mistress and I took it! You said that you would give me total power if I serve your needs! Black King!''

''A long time ago, Kanon Rihavein formed a pact with that man who is a Demon King. When Kanon became Heis, she possessed the power over the Black Army, an army made of Black Demons that killed millions of people during the battle of Aldegyr Kingdom. This ability of controlling the Black Army was a skill that man gave to her as a "gift".''

''- Black King: The Grimoire Heart is the book that allows you to become an Omnipotent Demon similar to Gods. The person who created this Grimoire Heart is my Mistress, my Leader, Goddess and Supreme Creator. However, only normal living beings can use it. By becoming one with the Grimoire Heart, you'll be able to control Time and Space by your own free will.''

''Heis then stared at the Black King while in her knees. The Grimoire Heart was a book wrote by a Pure-Blooded Devil that rules over countless worlds. The Black King is a Demon created by this Devil but he desires to become even more powerful to become a Demon God.''



''- Heis: If Grimoire Heart is a book made of dark magic that can only turn people in Demon Gods, then this book has no use for us... Since you're a Demon and I'm Fallen Angel.''

Heis then stood up and touched her hair.

''- Black King: Well, I have a plan... You said that there is a man between the Rogues that has a Demonic Lineage, right?''

''3 months ago, Heis fought the Rogues in Aldegyr Kingdom. During her battle, she felt that among the Rogues, there was a man that had the energy similar of a Devil. And a few days ago, Heis met that man again.''

''- Heis: Yes, this man is suppose to be a human but I felt a strong demonic energy inside of him... His name is Mahesvara... Better known as Tomas Sev. I studied about this Tomas Sev. He is a war hero that fought many times against KnightWalker Family in the past and fought against an entire army of KnightWalkers in India, becoming a legend. However, he has a mental illness; Tomas has dual personalities. One of his two personalities is a calm and kind man while the another personality that is known as "Mahesvara" is a savage, cold, wild, demonic and cruel entity that seeks to cause pain upon his enemies... Because of his dark personality, the KnightWalkers named him as The Demon of Global Pact Defense.''

The Black King leaned his head with his right hand.

''- Black King: Ooh... So there is possibility this man is a Half-Demon.''

Heis' eyes widened in surprise.

- Heis: Half-Demon?

''- Black King: Half-Demons are a rare species of demons. Half-Demons are sons or daughters of a relationship between a demon and a mortal. The reason why this man known as Tomas Sev has two personalities is because he is human with demonic powers.''

''During the battle of the KnightWalker Airport, Nnoitra Jiruga also mentioned about Tomas' demonic energy after he finished with him. After he the Black King told the truth about Tomas, an army of Black Demons started to march outside of the castle.''



<p style="text-align:center;"> [Footsteps and screams] 





''The sounds of thousands of footsteps marching made the Black King smile in pleasure. Those demons were the personal army of the Black King and were used to wipe out the entire population of Prussia's capitol.''

''- Black King: If that man is Half-Demon that means he can support the power of the Grimoire Heart. There is no doubt this book is the most beautiful Artifact of the Past that my Goddess created. With this, you can turn a mere mortal in a Demon God with powers enough to destroy whole universes by controlling Time and Space itself!''



Heis walked towards a window and saw the Black Army marching.

- Heis: So we're going to go after Tomas Sev?

''Heis then turned around and changed her sight to her boss. Heis was working to the Black King in secret from the Fallen's Essence, who is her true God.''

''- Black King: Not yet, my dear. We'll watch the Rogues. Their battles are just starting and I want Tomas Sev to get stronger so he will become a worthy vessel for me. Once he get strong enough to support the power of the Grimoire Heart, I'll transfer my soul to his physical body and so I'll become a Demon God by myself! As the Black King, I'll become the Black God and rule upon all Divine Dimensions, universes, galaxies, planets, stars and solar systems!''

Heis then let out an evil grin and closed her eyes.

''- Heis: As you wish, Milord. The Multi-Universe will be ours. We cannot get stuck inside of this little rock called Earth forever. We'll expand our goals to other universes and rule above everything. ''



''Heis, however, had never intentions of serving the Black King and swore her loyalty to Fallen's Essence. Everything that left from Heis' mouth was a lie.''

''- Black King: Speaking of which... How are you doing with the Fallen's Essence?''

Heis then crossed her arms and used one of her fingers to touch her forehead to remember her relationship with the Fallen's Essence.

''- Heis: Pretty good... He does not even suspect that I'm working with you behind the scenes. Recently, he revived a scientist droid known as Unit-CM 130 to restart World War III. And judging by the previous battle, it seems it worked. The World War III is back and a few hours ago, a nuclear power plant in South Korea had just exploded... The radiation started to spread and the government couldn't stop the media from butting in. It'll be only a matter of time to chaos and death start again all over the planet.''



''Heis turned around and saw black trees filled with children's bones and limbs. They were kids that once lived in the capitol of Prussia... Of course, they were not the Black King's collection... They're collection of a PERSON who love to do those kind of things.''

''- Black King: Good... So now... All Demons from this planet will get stronger. This war is a real banquet for everyone.''

Heis slapped the head of one of the kids in the trees with disgust.



''- Heis: Control yourself, you slut! You're always filling this place with dead kids!''

''Heis changed her sight to her left and there she saw a very beautiful woman seated on a table. That woman has long blonde hair in a ponytail and orange empty eyes. She wears a short red and white dress, black thigh high, brown lace-up boots, and moderate armor. ''

The woman then turned stopped what she was doing and stared at Heis.

''- (???): I cannot help myself! They're just so amazing! Also... ''

''The psychotic woman looked at Heis with sadistic eyes and was heavy breathing... She seemed to be sexually excited.''

- Black King: Let her be.

The Black King returned to stare at the Grimoire Heart as Heis watched that beautiful woman doing something disgusting and cruel.

''Right in front of that woman, there was a boy between 7-years old tied up in the wall. That woman proceeded to grab a knife from inside of one the dead kids on the Black Trees and slowly opened the belly of the boy. Every time drops of blood fell in her face, she started wet in her private parts... She was getting aroused by the screams of the boy.''



- Boy: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

The screams of the young boy could be heard even from outside of the castle.

''- (???): Heis... I call you by your name... So call by my true name: Vira. Please, never call me "slut" again.''

The woman introduced herself as Vira.

''Vira took a small part of her time to talk to Heis. Heis has her own ways to kill people... And there is something that Heis hates more than pacifists and people who wants to protect the world; Vira herself. Vira seemed to be a very sophisticated and gentle woman when she is not killing someone... Yet her eyes still scare Heis because this is the eyes of a souless person... A person who is not alive but "dead".''

''- Heis: I don't know why you're here. You work for the Black King's Goddess and KnightWalker Family!''

Vira then got riled up by the screams of the boy and then used the knife to stab his mouth by piercing his chin from below; shutting him up in a brutal death.

''- Vira: I don't have sides in your war. I just want to be part of it in my own faction. I have my goals, my decisions and ideas. '''KnightWalker Family, the Black Army, Order of Terror, Catholic Church, Police Forces, Novosic Kingdom, Fiore Kingdom, Godom Empire... Nothing of it matters to me.'

Heis rarely gets annoyed but Vira is an expert in taunt people.

''- Heis: The only reason you're helping us is to test your own stupid virus. You're just like Unit-CM 130; all things you do is for the sake of your experiments. Always destroying both allies and enemies. Do not think I'll forgive you after you killed 32,000 of my Demons in your stupid biological virus test!''

''Vira is a scientist who's only purpose to create a virus to cause death for the sake of Death itself. For Vira, Death is her God unlike Heis who has the Fallen's Essence as her God.''

''- Vira: I think we are just insects, we live a bit and then die and that’s the lot. There’s no mercy in things. There’s not even a Great Beyond. There’s nothing. Even if there is a Hell or Paradise, nothing will change. Life is irrelevant... Even life beyond death sucks. My purpose to end all life in both worlds... Worlds of the living and astral. So, all souls will have nowhere to go... And finally, we'll meet Death itself. A space filled with nothing but EMPTINESS!''

Heis knew that she was just wasting time with Vira and wanted to have distance from her.

''- Heis: You're a freak. I think I was right about killing all humans from this planet... Because you're the very personification of evil from all humans... Even people like that girl have this side.''

With the same knife that Vira killed the boy, she started to cut his head off and put his head in the Black Tree.

''- Vira: 64 heads for my collection... But this is too boring... I got bored of this. Why people show value to their lives? Life's so fragile, a successful virus clinging to a speck of mud, suspended in endless nothing.''

The Black King stood up from this throne and stared and created a image with the appearance of Tomas inside of a magic eye.

''- Black King: Tomas Sev... Who exactly are you?''

Heis and Vira prepared to leave after they were done with the Black King.

- Vira: Hey, Heis, let's go eat some takoyaki...

''Takoyaki is a ball-shaped Japanese snack made of a wheat flour-based batter and cooked in a special moulded pan. It is typically filled with minced or diced octopus (tako), tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger, and green onion. Takoyaki are brushed with takoyaki sauce (similar to Worcestershire sauce) and mayonnaise, and then sprinkled with green laver (aonori) and shavings of dried bonito. There are many variations to the takoyaki recipe, for example, ponzu (soy sauce with dashi and citrus vinegar), goma-dare (sesame-and-vinegar sauce) or vinegared dashi.''

Heis, however, teleported away without saying a word, ignoring Vira completely.

''- Vira: Meanie... Well, Black King... I'm going to Brazil now. I have my own business in Rio de Janeiro. I requested more civilians to my experiments in Rio to your Black Demons. According to my Omniscience, the Rogues are going to Brazil in some days... '''Also, I want to see my sister. I want to hug her. Kiss her. Love her. Feel her. Embrace her. I want to feel everything of her body'.

''Vira has an ability to predict the future and so she knows exactly what is going to happen. And what she saw predicted was that the Rogues will go to Brazil in a few days to fight an evil force.''

''- Black King: I understand, Vira. Go. It'll be a nice test for my future vessel. I want Tomas Sev to show his true colors.''

Vira then let out a grin as she was about to leave.

''- Vira: If you live today, you breath in nihilism... It's the gas you breathe. If I hadn't had the life itself to fight it with or to tell me the necessity of fighting it, I would be the stinkiest logical positivist you ever saw right now.''

Vira then left the throne, leaving the Black King with a chilling feeling in his spine.

''The Black King stared at the gates of his hall closing slowly as Vira. Before the gates could close completely, he could swear he saw a devilish grin coming from Vira's mouth.''

"........................."

''- Black King: I must keep an eye on her moves... Between all people I don't want to mess up with... It's her... She is a danger to all life and death. The only human who can even make the Supreme Devil cower in fear... ''

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Black King: Vira. ''

Heis' Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scenes from LOTM: Sword of Kings AA 2nd Season - A Place to Return (Sub Arc Finale) 

''- Heis: Looks like I don't have time to play with you. It's time to show you the Apocalypse. With my power, I'll send everything to hell.''

Heis raised her hand forward and pointed her finger to the ground, making Katarina and Imperia walked backward, they knew that her enemy was planning something big.



''- Heis: NOW! IT'S TIME TO WELCOME A NEW WORLD! ''

''Heis yelled at the sky and shot a small laser beam the earth, suddenly, the ground of the entire country opened in 4 lines, the entire country was being cut in 4 slices like a pizza being cut. Suddenly, the entire planet was covered in a red light and shook the planet like an egg being crushed by a black hole.''

- Heis: YES!



Imperia and Katarina looked around and saw the world around them was being destroyed and a red portal opened above them, sucking all living beings in the country.

''- Heis: This world has come to an end. It's the Final Judgement! It's time to send all sinners to hell! Sentence: DEATH to all humans !''

''The sky was engulfed by a red black hole that was sucking even entire mountains, even the ocean was being sucked, revealing sunk ships being brought to the surface of earth. The entire planet was being sucked by the black hole.''



- Imperia: This thing is cleaning the surface planet!

Katarina and Imperia looked at Heis and saw she was being powered-up by the red hole.

''- Heis: This is truly the work of an Angel! It's time to clean what the mankind destroyed! It's time rebuild a new world! A new peaceful world is coming! A world without war! A world without despair! '''A world where humans will serve us for all eternity! Final Judgment has come upon you all! Humans! Now, face the Apocalypse!'



Katarina could only watch the world being covered by several crosses created by Heis, destroying nations in just 1 second, the first Apocalypse has begun.

- Katarina: How can we defeat this?!

Imperia looked at Heis and tried to analyse her.

''- Imperia: Heis must have some weakness! If we find it, we can destroy her and stop the Apocalypse!''



- Heis: DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP ME?!

With just her words, Aldegyr shook and was painted with blood, even the voice of Heis had gained power, destroying everything around her.

''- Imperia: Tsk! Where is your weakness...''

''Imperia was about to fall in her knees since she could not find a weakness in Heis... But she had one... Inside of her brain...''



''- Heis: It's useless! Destruction is the fate that awaits this world! Accept it! There is nothing you can do! It's time to end your era and bring a new era upon this planet!''

Heis was logically right but morally wrong, she was now acting like a doomsday bringer.

''- Imperia: I DON'T CARE! OUR FATE WILL BE NOT DECIDED BY YOU! IT BELONGS TO US! ''

Nowadays












Part 12 - Aryana Westcott Vs. Revelation of Qliphoth


<p style="text-align:center;">''Heis is dead. But the battle of Fraxinus is far from the end. Due to how Imperia became strong in the last battle, the Empress of Evil, Aryana Westcott, could not ignore the high-power levels coming from the battle on the Atlantic Ocean and arrives at the scene with bloodlust. Noticing the presence of the "monster", Vira and all Black Demons invading Fraxinus returned their attention to Aryana whom was considered to be a worse threat to Astaroth Queen.'' <p style="text-align:center;">''While their battle took place, the few survivors of the Rogues and Ratatoskr's crew members took this chance to escape from Fraxinus that was now in the high-destruction countdown. However, while Imperia was escaping, Katarina was revived by her inner-self, Elesis Du Tirial, giving her a chance to escape together with her family. Yet, their hope are completely destroyed when Vira teleports Katarina to Limbo... Where she will personally face the architect of all pain in the world, Astaroth Queen.''

Lyrics
Those eyes Those eyes Those eyes That reflects lights in my heart

Love, truth, light and longing I found myself there, thinkink Man no kidding My remedy against fear, leaves me unstressed

Your glance Everything that I need the light that warms me Between alleys Between peace and danger And you here smiling with me We hug each other I lay my hand in your hair But guess what I woke up and it was just a dream!

In my thoughts I know you'll stay In every moment I know I'll remember The spark in your eyes I close my eyes and I can't forget you

There's someone with me, but is not you I'm afraid of sleeping to not remember...

Those eyes (Those eyes) Those eyes (unmistakable eyes) Those eyes

That reflects lights in my heart Those eyes (Those eyes)

Those eyes That reflects lights in my heart

As I wake I did not see you I returned to bed ''To see if I'd dream With that person I wondered'' That one that inspires me That one that keeps me moving on That one that when I close my eyes See you in front of me

Your mouth Your eyes Your smile  Your sweet scent That bad Aphrodite, fancy as she really was Many things happening And I'm here suffering

You showed up I overtroubled and you could tranquilize me I forgot the world It stucked me, I just wanted to go high and further I forgot the bros and girls With you I just wanted to go further

I used to watch you over the field And my desires for you were getting stronger Ask to God, the Director When it will be our kissing scene?

Your look intimidates me Your scent Your nice way

I don't know what to do anymore I could be an angel or a magician I used to look at you in disguise Then you used to look at me sideways

But my dreams would come true If you'd give me one chance

Those eyes Those eyes Those eyes

That reflects lights in my heart

Those eyes Those eyes Those eyes

That reflects lights in my heart

Lyrics
When the morning comes, our eyes gently meet, And I get the urge to talk about frivolous things. On a clear afternoon, we join hands, And take a short walk through this quiet city.

''Just being able to imagine those things... is so dear to me...'' I want experience each and every moment, Together with you, forever.

''Because every morning... every night...'' I have so many things I want to tell you! ''Today... and tomorrow too...'' If I could just tell you, "I love you"...

When the night comes to this place where we can see the stars... Until we fall asleep, I want to stay here by your side.

''Just being close enough for us to touch... is so dear to me...'' I want to experience more, Of your voice- your body's warmth-

Because endlessly, on and on... No matter how many times I call your name, it's not enough! ''Today... and tomorrow too...'' If we could just be together, the two of us...

''Whenever we're hurt... let's deck the halls with beautiful flowers!'' ''Whenever we're sad... let's talk about something fun!''

''Just by feeling your touch upon my hair... my cheeks...'' Even my gloomy heart brightens in an instant! ''Every morning... every night...'' I have so many dreams I wish would come true! ''Today... and tomorrow too...'' ''If I could just say, "I'm happy"... wouldn't that be nice...''

Mina Harker's Message


<p style="text-align:center;">'' "..................." ''

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Mina: Are you awake? Yes, you are. Good morning, my princess! How are you doing?! [.....] News! Why are you here and why I, Mina Harker, is talking to you? Well, the answer is simple: you're my enemy. Dear ???????, you're a political enemy that has been trying to sue me for violation of Human Rights of the American Constitution. Yeah, I see. You're right. I'm violated the Human Rights but for a good reason. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Mina: I'll not let someone so small and idiot like you ruin my plan and my idealistic world that I'll create. A new era is at hand ... an era that will expose the concept of inter-species unity as an absolute and vicious lie. An era that will witness the advent of a human-centric consciousness that will place our world before all others. As of this moment mankind casts off the shackles of demon interference and now determines its own fate. We, from STAR LABS, will open the eyes of this ignorant society and expose the true darkness of this world. The military and state will obey us because they NEED us. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Mina: This world war is the most deadly and cruel conflict in human history. 1 billion people dead, 120 countries wiped out and 25% of Earth infected with radiation... This crap conflict caused demons to go stronger more than ever. This world has been sick since the beginning of this war. And the demons are the disease. This planet needs healing. This world needs medicine. In fact, I'd go so far as to say...that what this world really needs, right now...is a Doctor. And what doctors do? They study and then heal. This is what I'm doing. True, I injected blood of demons inside of children but this was for the greater good to find a way to combat them. How do you think scientists create antidote to combat diseases? Using humans and animals in tests.... And what I'm doing is nothing so different. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Mina: The world outside these marvelous walls is a corrupt rotting husk. Reason is absent. Instead of order, there is only chaos. Chaos does not punish evil nor reward righteousness. Chaos results in crimes, suffering and unpunished sins! And guess who are responsible for all those atrocities! The inner demons of all humans, who are just waiting for the moment to seduce and corrupt us! Chaos cuts innocent lives short, and we're to accept this as fate. I beg to differ. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Mina: However, I have a dream too! That one day every person in this world will control their own destiny. A world of the truly free. A world of action, not words, ruled by strength, not committee! Where the law changes to suit the individual, not the other way around. Where power and justice are back where they belong: in the hands of the people! Where every man is free to think - to act - for himself! Damned all these limp-dick lawyers and chickenshit bureaucrats. Damned this 24-hour Internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit! Damned American pride! To hell wit the media! America, Asia, Europe and all continents are diseased. Rotten to the core. There's no saving it - we need to pull it out by the roots. Wipe the slate clean. Wipe out the demons and all humans' stupidity! BURN IT DOWN! And from the ashes a new world will be born. Evolved, but untamed! The weak who fell to the demons will be purged and the strongest will thrive - free to live as they see fit, they'll make the Earth great again! ...In my new world, people will die and kill for what they BELIEVE! Not for money. Not for oil! Not for what they're told is right. Every man will be free to fight his own wars! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Mina: May the future forgive me May history judge my actions, great or small. In the final reckoning... when I have given them paradise, and the world is free... those poor dead will not seem so many. For this paradise, millions will die, even the weak and those who are not able to act by themselves. The fragile humans will perish, and those who cannot stand with us will fall by the hands of those they thought would protect them forever. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Mina: Not only the sins will be wiped out but all POLITICAL and RELIGOUS systems... Fuh. For example: communism is based on ethical relativism and accepts no stable moral absolutes. Right and wrong are relative to the most expedient methods for dealing with class war. Communism exploits the dreadful philosophy that the end justifies the means. It enunciates movingly the theory of a classless society, but alas! Its methods for achieving this noble end are all too often ignoble. Lying, violence, murder, and torture are considered to be justifiable means to achieve the millennial end. Is this an unfair indictment? Listen to the words of Lenin, the real tactician of Communist theory: "We must be ready to employ trickery, deceit, lawbreaking, withholding and concealing truth." Modern history has known many tortuous nights and horror-filled days because his followers have taken this statement serious--! ''

<p style="text-align:center;">'' "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ''

<p style="text-align:center;"> [slap] 

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Mina: DO NOT INTERRUPT ME AGAIN! Hey, cut off her tongue. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Mina: Now. Where were we... Ah, yes. Communism. Well, screw that. No matter your ideology or religion, all of them will be erradicated in my new world. One single state. No different ideologies and religions. No conflicts. No war. Everyone will be equal. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Mina: And this is why you're here... Gentle people of Human Rights and Lawyers of ONU and GDP. Your era is over and the only thing you gave to this world while you were in power was war and hate. Tolerance is important. Sure, it's extremely important. But too much tolerance means our children will grow up aggressive and spoiled. The same thing happens to humans. Without punishment, there is no order. And without death, there is no progress. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Mina: My bad but I have to go now. If you need anything you can talk to this nice guy torturing you to inform me. Until then, enoy your free stay in this chamber. And from here, watch me turn this world into a new Utopia... Watch me destroy all cruelty and darkness of this world and lead mankind to a new era of peace and love. I promise you that: I'LL KILL EVERY SINGLE DEMON OF THIS EARTH! ''

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Oriax: Panties are an expression of a person's true intentions! Psh! Sorry mortals! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Red: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - The Fallen: [THIS PLANET IS MINE! ASTAROTH! I'LL BE YOUR OPPONENT!] ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Artemishia: No... I don't wanted everything to end like this! This is our legacy?! This is the legacy of humans to the future?! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Petelgeuse:You failed to stop Astaroth Queen, Kureto Hiragi... You don't only danced in the hands of Scathach but in the palms of Mina Harker. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Wáng: Keep your wicked and sinner bodies out of my Mana World! Your world is completely filled with war and death. Not only that, you're part of it! Turn around and leave, or face my fury! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Goddess: You're must be our heroes... Right? I'm glad you came to our world. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Matt: I can feel him inside of me, Maria... And I can't fight him... I'm a Black Demon... ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Imperia: The difference between you and her... I see, it's not too hard to find. "Why a teenage girl think she can trade blows with the superior beings?" You're right, you and her are who think you can put all humans under your feet. She was born as a loneliest person, that's because she is the kindest person I know. She was born as a saddest person, that's why her smile is the brightest. She is a damaged person, that's why she is wisest and shows value to bounds, friendship and life. She was born on darkness, that's why she is the servant of light while fighting on the shadows. Unlike you who fight to "win", she fights to never lose and never give up until she is dead. She will cut her own limbs to kill you, even if it means she will never walk again, she will keep fighting until she see our smile. But... Katarina was crying... She gave up... And was trembling... I never want to see her like that again. Katarina Couteau is a strong and a ferocious warrior! I want to see her come back to herself when she wakes up from this nightmare! This time, I'll fight for you! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Kyouhei: You said that I have 'debased' myself, yes? Deceiving my friends and subordinates in order to obtain power. Then let me ask you this. Joining an organisation for the sake of revenge, yet in the course of one's peaceful life there, forgetting that objective and coming to serve that organisation happily... would you not call that debasement? Though my eyes see not, they perceive the latter situation as far more self-debasing than the first. This is the new Kyouhei Kannazuki, my former comrades... And it's time to say goodbye. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Vira: You don't miss a thing. I can not feel...sorrow...No matter what misery befalls the worlds. No matter what you think, what you feel, or how you exist. I'm just a bug... An insect... I'm a piece of trash. And I know it, that's why I really don't care what do you call me... We are just insects... A dream... And you're nothing more than a THOUGHT. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Evelynn: Mana is... No more... ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Magilou: When people get hurt, they learn to hate. When people hurt others, they become hated and raced with guilt. But knowing that pain allows people to be kind. Pain allows people to grow... and how you grow is up to you. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Aryana: The strong have ever devoured the weak. That is but nature's way. Yes, I know how incredibly vast the universe is. Nevertheless, there is only so much to go around. The fewer still breathing souls there are the more there is for those of us who remain among the living. It is a simply philosophy upon which I have built my empire. I come from a long line of rulers. My predecessors' outlook was planetary, mine galactic. Leaders calculate. And death always resolves the equation. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - ???: Rise to the heavens! Allow me to change this world destroyed by the darkness! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Crauz: I love the way you SQUIRM BENEATH MY BOOT HEEL!! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Scathach: You had better not underestimate humans. They're greedy, cunning, and tenacious. They are worse than us, Black Demons. Why you waste time protecting them, Azul? Come here. Let's destroy this planet and destroy our Sith homeworld. Darth Hades will be pissed off. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - ???: It feels, doesn't? Finally getting rid of that bastard who always gave you troubles and more suffering... He caused your friends to die, people whom you truly loved. You don't have to hold back... Just come to the Blackness... I can give all of your desires, Arzonia... If you wish, I can even make a world where you will be together with your parents and brothers... ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Kotori: She's enjoying the slaughter! Her face her contorted in a pleasured grin! Could that Katarina was always possessed by her ExKrieg side? Kind, gentle Katarina? Was Katarina truly successful in merging with a demon? In the hopes of creating mankind's savior, could it be that I have made their destruction instead by mistake? ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Mina: Oh my! You came to see me again! Imperia Deamonne! What a beautiful lady like you needs from an old hag like me? ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Sasha: You know... Despite all the pain inflicted on me on the past, I can still transfer my soul to another body just like this. I'm taking the body of this agent of Ratatoskr! Well will meet again, Imperia Deamonne! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - CM: I'll not let you interfere in our world... This world may be destroyed but in the end I'll have the entire universe in my hands. All research and workd I did in this planet will be gone but I can always find more races and people to study. You, on the other hand, die with the human race. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Imperia: Katarina... I promise you... I'll save you... ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Citizens: WOHOO!!! WE GOT THAT WITCH! SHAKE HER HEAD!! SHAKE HER HEAD!! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Mina: Millions will die! But as long we don't move our hands to save our own race from the Black Demons, we will be the ones wiped out! Now! Fight! Your battles are your prayers and your body count are your sacrifices! Don't hold yourselves! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Katya: Mana World fell. And so Earth. We are the last resistance of what is left from mankind and mages races... And tonight, we will strike down Mina's HQ! Then what shall we die for? Now You will listen to me. Listen! The Black Demons will still be looking here, to us, to Witch Cult to lead. And what will they see? Frightened bilge rats? No. No, they will see free men and women! And freedom! And what the enemy will see is the flash of our weapons. They will hear the ring of our swords, and they will know what we can do! By the sweat of our brows, and the strength of our backs... and the courage of our hearts! Gentlemen! Hoist the colors. We will strike Red Moon Tyrant and Mina Harker's ship today! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Diabla: I think it's time to leave this world... That bitch took everything from me after all and I can't do anything now. Sorry, Misogi. I could not turn Eckidina's dream in reality. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Heis: Time to continue our battle that we left on hold since Aldegyr Kingdom's battle... Don't you think, sister? ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Imperia: I'm here to stop your madness, Katarina... And when I defeat you make sure to hold your booty! Because I'll punish you when we return home! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Red: Imperia... Why I'm the only one talking? Imperia? Now... Right now, I'm feeling a pain in my chest. Tell me. What is it? Feel what I'm feeling right now. Listen to me. Imperia. Look at me. Respond me. Say something. Don't forget that you've been with me till now. Say something! No, Imperia! DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE! DON'T LEAVE ME! PLEASE BE SOMEWHERE! SAY SOMETHING! LA FOLIA!!! ''
