 (Vital part only)




 * Maria: Previously on Firenza Junior...

After managed to escape from Vatican, Noelle and Carl were both riding on a carriage they found on the street and escaped, ignoring what might happen if the owner of this carriage had discovered that it was stolen.

''Carl was holding a gun in his right hand. The gun was just grabbed from a gangster of Mafusa Gang. After ascending as the pope, Michael officially declared Mafusa Gang to be legal in the city of Rome. They will do whatever they want in the city.'' Noelle was riding the horses on the carriage as she bit her lips. ''Carl shook his head and put the gun back into his pocket. He was thinking.'' ''Noelle looked at Carl with surprise. She blinked to Carl as if he was telling some strange tale. Carl shook his head as if even himself do not know what he was exactly on about.'' After nodded in agreement, Carl had to held his head tightly with his own hands and closed his eyes tightly in sheer pain. Noelle then took a glance at Carl but she distracted herself from riding the carriage. Hearing this, Carl looked at Noelle with surprise, not understanding what did her words mean. ''Noelle bit her lips and her face went pale. She cannot deduce the whole thing completely, but in her mind, there was one thing for sure.'' Carl then shook his head in confusion. Turning her head back to the horses, Noelle did not look at Carl, but she did not stop talking to him. ''Noelle's words stopped when she look aside. She saw fields as well as farms. Then, she turned back to see if there was anyone chasing them. There was no one behind them. Noelle sighed in relief.'' ''Carl then looked aside and saw another wide wheat field beside him as well. His eyebrows came closer as he had an idea in mind... but this idea was mad, very mad...'' Hearing this, Noelle's eyes widened when she turned to Carl with her eyes widened in sheer shock. ''Before Noelle could react, Carl immediately grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer. He aimed for the wheat field and soon leaped himself from the carriage as it start losing control. Noelle was pulled out of her seat by Carl before she could realize what happened.'' ''It all happened too fast. Carl and Noelle soon fell into the wheat field, and fortunately, neither of them were badly injured thanks to those piles of wheat. They rolled themselves all the way before they stopped.''
 * Carl: Duh, I can't imagine how could a member from Mafusa Gang walked on those streets of Rome. The new pope must have lost his mind. He took my blood... and I don't know what shall he do with them.
 * Noelle: Oh, the whole world itself lost its mind, if I must say. Starting from the Kingdom of Fiore being screwed from the map, succeeded by the Battle in Liberty City, and now this World War III. The entire world is messed up ever since the KnightWalker Family rose to power.
 * Carl: When I went here, the pope asked me if I was looking for a world of chaos, but does that chaos started when the Kingdom of Fiore years ago? No, I think the true chaos started when that woman went to the Earth... and it was occurring beneath the seemly stable order.
 * Noelle: Carl? Are you talking about that woman who called herself... Scathach?
 * 7712illuminati.jpgCarl: I do not understand why she appeared in this world and I don't know what she was planning before her defeat, but I bet it would not be well. I had a strange feeling that she was planning to control the entire world with a new order, to stabilize and sustain the system she had created; but apparently, Pope Michael... Pope Michael wants to destroy it. 
 * Noelle: And the world will blame... you.
 * Carl: What do you mean?
 * Space_cube_wallpaper_by_hardii-d5wif8w.pngNoelle: You told me Michael had took your own blood for some dark purpose, and no matter what it is, he would push the blame on you since it is YOUR blood.
 * Carl: I don't know now. I don't know... I was not a believer in magic but I soon realized that magic itself does exist. However, it was just... messy. It is chaos in this world. Recently, there was no signs of Eckidina KnightWalker and rumors had that she was planning something with that mysterious Tech of the End, as well as LN-666 or whatever the project is.
 * Noelle: I know what you meant. We humans had our own dark side, since we are nothing but a kind of animal. When our instinct of a beast was released, we will spawn megalomaniacs, as well as monsters in human skins. Eckidina and Kureto Hīragi, as well as the deceased and disgraced Juria KnightWalker...
 * Noelle: Phew, that was close, huh. I guess we had lost them, Carl.
 * Reckless.Fist.(Raven).full.947944.jpgCarl: All right, come and jump!
 * Noelle: Come and what!?
 * Noelle: CAAAAAAAAAAAARL!!!!!!

ere surrounding them very closely, and it was no way they could make it. Carl yelled in blind fury but it was futile, since he was severely weakened, Carl could not show his powers he used to defeat Carissa.
 * Carl: Step back!
 * Matt: Let me handle this...

''Matt then drew his sword and cut through the chest of one of the soldiers and knocked down his helmet when suddenly, the wound itself started to release black smoke. What was more, the other soldiers failed to meet the injured soldier as if nothing happened.''
 * Matt: Uh, what the...

Matt was astonished to see this, but he was even more astonished to see the true face of that soldier - a mangled and deformed face filled with green scales. ''The guard itself soon regenerate itself before striking Matt with his blade. Others soldiers drew their blades and tried to cut through the three, but Matt raised his blade and shielded those weapons with it. Now, he was shielding his friends from several soldiers with his strength.''
 * Matt: They are...


 * Matt: They are no human!
 * ???: Of course not... They are demons.

''Suddenly, Carl heard a strange female voice and was surprised. Noelle and Matt had the same reaction as well.''
 * Carl: Who's there?

''He looked up before he saw a golden light shone above everyone, and soon several light beams came towards the demonic troops before striking them down. Those demon troops immediately collapsed on the ground and turned into ashes.'' ''Matt, Carl and Noelle heard the female voice once again and looked up as the light itself faded. They were all astonished to see a young woman standing above the wheat by tiptoeing very easily.''
 * ???: Therefore, you can't kill them with a normal blade, my good sir.

Wind gushes through the field as the young woman gently spoke out. ''The young woman was much younger than Carl, and she was wearing a white hood, a white cloak, a pair of black gloves, a red and gold dress as well as a pair of long brown boots. She had long blond hair and a tall, slender figure. She smiled at Carl nicely as if he was an old friend of her.'' ''Carl was astonished as he saw the maiden in white hood. He was about to speak before Noelle shouted out. Several other demonic guards arrived at the scene, but they were alarmed by this young woman's presence and did not apprehend Carl and his friends immediately.''
 * ???: Are you all right?
 * QWEEARS1234.pngYoung woman: Good morning, Carl Robinson. It is an honor to meet you.

Noelle looked at this young woman with a look full of awe. The young woman who was revealed to be Maria Arzonia, the deceased martyr who sacrificed herself to stop Aleister Crowley's evil plan, smiled at Noelle kindly.
 * Anime-girl-angel-wings-heaven-stairs-light-dress-anime-1894.jpgNoelle: St. Maria Arzonia! You're alive?
 * Maria: Not really, I am no longer flesh and blood. I was enhanced with angelic power and was immortalized, brought into a higher plane of existence. I heard your prayers, and now I am here to assist you, Sister Noelle.

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

''All of the rage that Melancholia had accumulated had burst when she finally saw who the masked woman that saved "Firenza Junior" was. Purple flames kept flowing beside her body.'' Feeling the sudden rage, Maria looked at Melancholia with a shocked expression as the soldiers of Melancholia started to release their crossbows. However, she wasted no time flew in as fast as she could, trying to avoid the arrow that shot at her and Noelle. ''Protecting Noelle all the way, Maria immediately flew herself towards the east with her wings. Melancholia tried to order another attack, but suddenly, all of those archers were slayed by Matt and Carl.'' Melancholia turned to Carl with sheer malice in her eyes, then she immediately walked towards Carl with a menace look. Carl only bit his lips as he showed no fear towards Melancholia. ''Melancholia then raised her sword and pointed it at Carl with a cruel grin. She then started to strike Carl.'' Just as Matt looked with horror, Melancholia's point of sword suddenly stopped in the position just 10 centimeters away from the heart of Carl, but it never struck Carl, much to his confusion. "............" ''Melancholia started to chuckle deviously as he withdrew her sword. Carl did not resist, and instead, he looked at the evil face of Melancholia, wondering what was wrong with this "lady of insanity"... until Melacnholia started to speak to him in a devious tone...'' Being more and more incensed, Carl shouted at Melancholia in full confusion and desperation as Melancholia stopped chuckling.
 * Melancholia: Shoot her down!
 * Maria: Ohhhhhh...
 * Maria: Hold on!
 * Carl: I won't let you to harm someone whom I owed them!
 * Joan.Alter.full.2045958.jpgMelancholia: Hmm, I do not know if this day shall be your last day on earth, but if I keep you alive for too long, it won't end well.
 * Carl: You wicked woman... swing your sword as you can. Fate... is not on your side.
 * Melancholia: As you wish.
 * Melancholia: You fought bravely despite your own bad situation and despair event horizon, so I shall grant you a merciful ending with a quick death...
 * Carl: ......
 * Melancholia: ......
 * Melancholia: Eh-heh-heh-heh-heh...
 * Carl: Huh? What is so funny?
 * AvengerJeanneAlterStage4.pngMelancholia: I see something inside you.
 * Carl: What? What is inside me?
 * Melancholia: I see...

While showing her sheer menace towards a helpless Carl, Melancholia's eyes were like some sort of thorn which pricked through the boy's soul, making him to feel fear for the first time in several years. ''Carl could not resist since his body was feeling powerless. Due to his blood loss after his blood being took by Michael, Carl was much weaker than he was during his fight in the English Civil War.''
 * Melancholia: I see a darkness in you, Firenza Junior. And in that darkness, eyes staring back at me. Brown eyes, blue eyes, green eyes. Eyes you'll shut forever.

''However, to his surprise, Melancholia did not kill him. Instead, she stepped back and started turning into a thick puff of black smoke.'' ''Melancholia then disappeared and leaving Matt and Carl in their original position. All of a sudden, the entire squad of Holy Knights she brought vanished with her as well. Carl and Matt looked at each other with confusion.'' Matt then helped Carl to get up before looking at him with a serious look. ''Then, Matt and Carl started to run towards the port as fast as possible. Carl stopped thinking about the words of Melancholia. He only wanted to arrive in Eastern Europe as fast as he could.''
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.1733565.jpgMelancholia: We will meet again.
 * Carl: What ever does she mean?
 * Matt: Come on, who cares?
 * Matt: We must get to the port as soon as possible. It is not far away from here, just over there. Now, follow me.

''She immediately recognized that it was that strange waiter. In fact, this man was disguised by the very same assassin sent by Shinya Banba to do her dirty work.''

''The waiter stopped before he started to cut a piece of cake. He put the cake into a plate and left it on the cart for a while, but then he opened the cork of his wine bottle and poured everyone a cup of wine. No one had noticed that it was made after the face of Monokuma, a mascot of Ultimate Despair.''

A dark grin appeared on his face. Suddenly, Esther immediately turned to Mary with her eyes widened. A sharp scorn had came from the waiter when he looked at Esther as he poured the last cup of whine on the table and placed it back to the table. ''Her words immediately caused shock. Without any hesitation, ​Mary immediately stood up and fired numerous shots at the assassin, and yet that assassin did not fell dying due to the necklace he wore had made him unaware of his pain. As everyone looked at that strange man, startled, Mary's eyes widened in horror as she shouted out.'' ''A moment later, that assassin looked up with a horrid grin. He then immediately grabbed that cake and stuck it into the mouth of one of the guests beside him.'' ''As the guards was ready to fire at him, the assassin grabbed a cup of wine and forced one of the guard to drink it. The guest who was forced to swallow the cake was now bleeding in his nose and died on the ground, struggling in pain and agony before he finally fell dying.'' ''Then, Mary looked at the bottle of wine as her eyes widened. She immediately realized that the wine was poisoned as well and it was now poured into everyone's cup. Unbeknownst to many, that wine was polluted with the blood of Carl Robinson, with one of the ten syringes were came to use. When that assassin forced the guard to drink the wine, he jumped aside.'' ''The guard had to kneel on the ground in pain before he started to transform. To everyone's horror, limbs were distorted and his skin turned sallow. his body became more and more terrifying and monstrous as the crowd yelled in fear. The right arm had swelled and there was an enormous eye on it. Not long afterwards, the guard himself had turned into a horrid monster.'' The guests screamed in horror after seeing this horrid abomination, and they were all ready to run, but that assassin fired one shot at one of the guests and blew up his head. ''The monster immediately roared before it started to attack many guards as they started to fire at it, and some of the guards were brutally torn apart, spilling blood on the wall. The guests soon found themselves trapped since that assassin had all ready locked up the door.''
 * Waiter: Ladies and Gentlemen, my superior wants me to send those New Year's gift to all of you, as an apology. He cannot come to the party due to sickness.
 * Esther: I thought no one is absent!
 * Mary: Assassin!
 * Mary: What?!
 * Assassin: At first, I want to make you die unknowingly, but now...
 * William_Birkin_12.jpgEsther: That man suffocated him!
 * Mary: Wait! He is not suffocated! He is poisoned!
 * Assassin: You are right. Both the cake and the wine are poisoned. I wish you all good health!
 * 876f8e0336959d62337605578fdd4690.gifMary: RUUUUUN!
 * Assassin: How far you can run? Now, my monster, tear them apart!

''The guards looked at each other and looked at Maria once again. Maria merely smiled confidently with no panic.''
 * MarySpencer27.jpgMaria: I am a Spaniard as well.

Then, one of the guards glared at her. ''Then, the guard turned to Mary Spencer and nodded. With a nervous look, Mary then released Esther from her arms, and Esther walked towards Maria, looking at her nervously. However, Maria immediately curtsied in front of Esther.'' ''All of the guests there were shocked by Maria's words before Esther walked towards Maria slowly. People started to discussing about this, and Mary Spencer was shocked by what she heard.'' Esther then walked towards Maria, who spoke in a voice only they two could hear... ​Esther was so shocked and she immediately yelled out, which cause more people's alarm. ''As the guards was about to fire at Maria, Mary Spencer called out to make them stop. Maria immediately put her own lips beside Esther's ear closer.'' ''Maria then jumped from the window. Esther immediately tried to catch Maria, but then she saw Maria opened her wings and immediately flew away like a bird, before disappeared in light. Esther watched at this with awe. Others were astonished as well.''
 * Guard: You have five minutes.
 * Crimson_rose_by_davidnightmare-da4jtkg.jpgEsther: I am sorry, Your Majesty. My name is Maria Arzonia, and I am here to tell you something. Please come closer.
 * Mary: Maria Arzonia? The sister of that notorious Arzonia Brothers? She is alive?
 * Maria: Queen Esther, I am here to tell you that you are not safe here. I haven't get enough time, so I make it short. Your beloved Cardinal Katherine Sforza is in Ukraine...
 * Q.Esther-thores4919494.pngr: Are you kidding?!
 * Mary: Hold your fire!
 * Maria: Don't be that loud, please. This is a secret. Besides, I am not kidding. Cardinal Sforza is in Ukraine. She is fine. Go and find her alongside your sister, and she can protect you.
 * Esther: The pope can protect me as well.
 * 2333333IIJKLLLL.pngMaria: No, not even him. Please, you need to do what I said. Don't tell anyone about your arrangements. Do it quietly.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Esther: I saw an angel... '

''Just then, the door opened suddenly, and then Pope Michael Langdon, Brothers Petros and Cardinal Aleister immediately stormed into the messy hall, with several holy knights. No one in the scene had an idea that Michael was the one behind all of those dreadful events happened this day... not even Esther.'' ''Esther immediately went towards Michael and hugged Michael. She cried dreadfully and sadly.'' ''​Michael then took a look at the dead man on the floor. His face was full of disgust and dismay.''
 * Esther: Your Holiness! Your Holiness...
 * Esther: Your Holiness, there was... there was an assassin...
 * Michael: I know. Esther, did you get hurt?
 * World_domination_pope_kristine_by_jenazia.jpgEsther: No, I am not, Your Holiness... Maria Arzonia saved me.

"......!!"

''Michael's eyes widened in sheer horror when he heard Maria's name. Despite Maria's previous warning, Esther was too naive and she trusted Michael so much that she told everything to him.''
 * Michael: Maria Arzonia?
 * Esther: Yes, and she told me that Cardinal Sforza was still alive and in Ukraine. She wanted me and Mary Spencer to join her in order to keep her safe.

Then, Esther looked at Michael with a naive face like a small child, right before she pointed her own head. Michael was shivering and lowered his head in sheer anger, but then he looked up at Esther.
 * Esther: Your Holiness, do you think think Maria had a problem inside a place like this?
 * Michael: Don't worry. I am here...

''Then, Michael lowered his head with a serious look. His anger immediately consume him once again.''

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


 * Michael: NO!!!

''In sheer frustration, Michael grabbed a golden chalice on his table and smashed it on the ground. The chalice bounced for several times and then rolled on the ground before it stopped. Michael then turned to the magical screen he had just created, showing all the events in Aldegyr Kingdom.'' ''Feeling pain in his chest, Michael immediately coughed blood out of his mouth. He quickly cleaned his hand and lips whilst looking at the screen with sheer malice.'' Michael's mental state was becoming more and more unstable, and he often bursted into a violent rage whenever he thought of his enemies, especially Katarina Couteau.
 * Michael: That beast...
 * Michael: I know this is you, Katarina Couteau! Only you dare to defy me! Only YOU will become something like this! 
 * Rey491px-Crimson_Avenger_Alternate_(3).jpgMichael: You and all of your dreadful friends are my curse! You make an alliance with Ichabod Crane in order to foil my further plan as a whole! You caused a scar on my body that shall never cease! You just want to make this whole boring world spin around you! I am going to bury you with my own hand! Death! DEATH!!!

''All the while he was yelling in agony, Michael started to bump his head on the wall beside his throne, at first in a slower rate. Then, he bumped his head faster, faster and faster before he roll down from his throne, crying and yelling in sheer agony...''

''However, Michael then stopped yelling and stood up. He slowly walked towards the chalice on the ground with his staff, like a frail old man.'' ''Michael then grabbed the chalice once again from the floor before smashing it towards the door, but just then a Swiss guard came into the room, and the chalice hit his head. The guard immediately fell on the ground and lost his consciousness.''
 * Michael: At least La Folia was dead now, and I enjoy your sorrow and your sheer sadness coming from your mourn! Ha, now you shall pay for this...



''Michael was surprised by this and he immediately went towards the door outside. He knew that the Swiss guard was about to bring him some news.'' The Swiss guard curtsied himself in front of the pope as a sign of respect. ''Michael was not pleased, not at all. He went forward a bit... before he raised his staff and start beating the guard with all his might and sheer anger.'' ''​Just then, Michael stopped beating the guard and leaving the latter shivering on the ground. Just as Michael prepared to leave, he heard the guard's weak voice.'' ''Hearing this, Michael turned back and faced the guard with alarm and shock on his face. Then, he immediately gave a final blow to the guard at his head, beating him unconscious almost immediately.'' ''Rolling his eyes, Michael turned back with a smile, a smile that was both horrid and gruesome. Michael was staying in Vatican for too long so that he was not able to renew his current information, but soon Michael realized something astonishing was about to happen in this world.'' ''Michael then closed his eyes and feel the wind howling beside him. In his vision, he soon found a young woman with white hair were fighting against several people in the sky high above the land of Aldegyr Kingdom, much to his surprise. The young woman was also holding a magic book which she used to summon demons. He also saw Jellal Fernandes and Katarina Couteau heading towards the scene as well.''
 * Michael: What is it? I thought there won't be anymore news after La Folia was slain.
 * Guard: You Holiness, we found Noelle Bor and was trying to capture her. As for Carl Robinson, he disappeared somehow and we are still trying to track him down.
 * Pkpkkjjjkik.pngMichael: I don't want processes! Give me results!
 * Guard: However, Your Holiness, our teams and agents were trapped due to billions of demons which was now invading the entire globe, slowing down the progress!
 * Michael: Demons? Demons around the... globe?
 * Michael: (think) * Interesting... and who can summon an army of demons, billions of them, and spread them around the globe? Finally, I must use this ability once again to see the present and the near future.*
 * Emperor_Tathagata_Killer123.pngel: Hmm, what happened in Aldegyr Kingdom? I sensed war... I sensed death... The army of both Peace Foundation and Godom Empire were approaching to this place, alongside the forces of... Ratatoskr. What exactly is that Emperor Tathagata Killer thinking? I don't think it would be his idea to invade Aldegyr with such a mighty army. Hmm, fortunately, this World War III has no secrets in front of me. After so much "we" have shared, I know it all... for now...  apart from her .

Michael did not know who the young woman was at first, but he soon recognized Katarina who was about to become the one among the many that joined forces against that young woman.


 * Michael: Katarina? What's she doing there? And is that... Azul Jissele? Jellal Fernandes? Tomas Sev? Shigure Yukimi? Atala Arck? Lucas Kellan? Perhaps many more. Oh, what a funny reunion, despite I wish that I was there as well, despite I was just overseeing their actions as I did years ago without being noticed... Oh, I really miss the old days more than 3 years ago when the KnightWalker Funeral Parlor still existed.

Lyrics
<p style="text-align:center;">Nothing's ever changed, you still turn away

<p style="text-align:center;">You've washed your hands, you've made that all too clear

<p style="text-align:center;">You just keep on living this lie

<p style="text-align:center;">You refuse to see, you're denying me

<p style="text-align:center;">The cross I bear but you don't seem to care

<p style="text-align:center;">Even Judas knew he had lied

<p style="text-align:center;">I keep wondering why

<p style="text-align:center;">I'm still calling your name through my tears

<p style="text-align:center;">Why have you waited to embrace me my dear?

<p style="text-align:center;">Cold is your silence, denying what is real

<p style="text-align:center;">I'm still wondering why

<p style="text-align:center;">I'm still calling your name my dear

<p style="text-align:center;">I'm sorry if you can't stand the naked truth

<p style="text-align:center;">All you see is how you want it to be

<p style="text-align:center;">So you keep on living your life

<p style="text-align:center;">Release me from this cross after all these years

<p style="text-align:center;">Oh call my name and help me with this weight

<p style="text-align:center;">Even though it comes far too late

<p style="text-align:center;">I keep wondering why

<p style="text-align:center;">I'm still calling your name through my tears

<p style="text-align:center;">Why have you waited to embrace me my dear

<p style="text-align:center;">Cold is your silence, denying what is real

<p style="text-align:center;">I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name

<p style="text-align:center;">And I wonder, oh I wonder

<p style="text-align:center;">In my heart I still hope you will open the door

<p style="text-align:center;">You can purify it all, answer my call

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

<p style="text-align:center;">Why have you waited to embrace me my dear?

<p style="text-align:center;">Cold is your silence, denying what is real

<p style="text-align:center;">I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name

<p style="text-align:center;">And I wonder, oh I wonder

<p style="text-align:center;">In my heart I still hope you will open the door

<p style="text-align:center;">You can purify it all, answer my call

Act 1 - Arrival
<p style="text-align:center;"> Russia 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 20 minutes after Black Army's presence 

''A hooded figure was looking at "some" demons from the Black Army - a thousand of them - in front of him or her. The figure's face was covered in shadows and people could not figure it out who it was. However, the man was speaking in the voice of... Michael Langdon...'' ''The hooded figure who claimed himself to be Pope Michael Langdon immediately opened a large scroll and presented them a large face on the scroll. It was the face of Carl Robinson.'' ''At this moment, some demons of the Black Army immediately charged towards the hooded figure and tried to attack them. However, the hooded figure raised its hand and formed a black aura, which those demons stopped when they saw this.'' ''The figure shook the opened scroll once again before closing it. A devious smile appeared on the figure's face as the demons from Black Army began to calm themselves down.'' The figure then promptly returned the scroll back to its pocket as he continued. ''The hooded figure raised its hands before it suddenly disappeared alongside those 1,000 demons. Their own destination was the base of Russian Resistance.''
 * ???: Do you know why am I coming here for your help?
 * ???: This is Michael Langdon, Pope of the Catholic Church, and I request for your help. I know you are on a mission and I don't need ALL of your help. I only need a thousand of yours and attack the base of Russian Resistance Base.
 * ???: I only wish you could do me a little favor, my new friends. I am not your master, but we both have same enemies. This boy shall be a threat against our might, and since we are both sharing the same goal by plunging the world into void, we need to make a partnership.
 * ???: You see, I am no human at all, but he is.
 * Casterwithhood14.png???: Very well, my friends, and soon this world is ours. We will part our ways as soon as you help me to kill this young man.
 * ???: We will set out now and we will target Pripyat, Ukraine! Now, please follow me!

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

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

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

3 days after the meeting on the London Tower, Carl and Matt, who were reunited after some dreadful events (which will be explained later) arrived at the base of Russian Resistance - the abandoned town of Pripyat - according to a letter written by Noelle to her eldest brother. ''Matt and Carl looked at the place while walking around. There were no other people with the place and it seemed deathly and barren.''
 * Matt: Finally, we escaped from those dreadful demon armies and now, we are here... Is this the base of Russian Resistance?
 * Carl: Offhand, I guess it might be more accurate if we call it the base of barren and waste. It was near that nuclear power plant which went meltdown more than half a century ago, hmm...

''Carl chuckled whereas Matt was acting with a poker face. Snow kept falling from the sky since the days was colder and colder, making the rain turn into snow in the matter of hours.'' Carl and Matt passed by a small school house, and inside the house, several Eastern Christians that was leaning on a wall revealed themselves slowly from a grey quilt which hid themselves.
 * Carl: Cheerful place, hmm... Well, do you ever think about coming into this place to live with your sister?
 * Matt: Hush, I don't know. I was just want to find her in this place and tell the Patriarch about what we knew... just before we engaged in more trouble.

Carl and Matt did not notice them when the passed by the school house and stood by its empty window with no glass. ​Just then, Matt felt that someone had lay a hand on his shoulder before he finish his words...
 * Matt: This is not right... I suspect that there is some danger in this place.
 * Carl: Like what? Radiations?
 * Matt: More than radiations, you know, like guards, booby traps...

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Matt: ... or an ambush...'

''All of a sudden, several Eastern Christian jumped and leaped themselves from everywhere beside the two young men all of a sudden. The two were shocked and did not react before two strongmen held them down. Then, they had to knelt on the ground, watching a willowy priestess came towards them with a sly smile. The priestess in red habit were standing in front of Carl with their eyes shone with hostility.'' ''Overpowered by the Orthodox clergies, Carl was very confused by the words of this tall blond woman who speaks with Russian accent. However, Vasilisa raised her hand with her eyes narrowed.''
 * Vasilisa: Are you the minion of King Hamdo?



''It was clear sign of hostility, and Carl could feel it. At this time, among the crowd of Orthodox clergies, Acqua recognized Carl and Matt before he quickly turned back and ran for help.''

At this time, Vasilisa was still interrogating the two before she turned to her followers. Two Eastern Christians took of their surgical masks and revealed their faces. ''​Hearing this, Matt and Carl were both shocked. It was clearly a big misunderstanding.'' Vasilisa, however, tied their mouth up with two towels before they could finish their words. An orthodox clergy walked out of the crowd with a large blade like a band saw.
 * Vasilisa: What have we here, my friends?
 * Eastern Christian 1: Intruders!
 * Eastern Christian 2: Spies!
 * Matt: WE ARE NOT SPIES!
 * Carl: Would you please listen...
 * Vasilisa: Don't interrupt me! You are very clever to find our hideaways. Unfortunately, you won't live to tell the tale! Misha Kruetzeva, would you please execute them for me?

Misha Kruetzva can easily be distinguished by her signature look, a red hood and cape (which hides her long curly blond hair) and matching pointy red shoes.



''Her torso and limbs are covered with leather belts, and has metal braces on her ankles, wrist and waist, the latter being used to carry her many eccentric weaponry. Under is small layer of clothing that covers her torso and her arms up to the wrist, finished with thigh-high stockings. They are form-fitting which naturally shows Misha's figure. Her bangs covers her eyes.''
 * Misha: With pleasure, my lady.

Before Misha could attack Carl, who had widened his eyes in horror, some bellowing could be heard from the crowd.


 * Toaru_Majutsu_no_Index_II_E19_02m_03s.jpgAcqua & Noelle: STOP!!!

''Surprised, both Varsilsa and Misha Kruetzeva were looking at the place where Noelle and Acqua had surfaced from the crowd. The two immediately ran towards the two before taking down their surgical mask. Then, Boelle looked at Vasilisa sarcastically.'' ''Vasilisa was surprised to see Noelle Bor. Noelle and Acqua looked at Boelle with a poker face. After some time of silence, Vasilisa faked a cough before she spoke in a deep voice.'' Vasilisa crossed her arm with dissatisfaction. Noella looked at Carl and then she turned to Vasilisa with anger. ​Then, she started to untie Carl and Matt as Vasillisa stood embarrassingly like a rock. While talking, Noelle looked at Versillisa after untied Carl, then she went to Matt to release him. Matt immediately went towards the Orthodox clergies as he shouted at him. Hearing the words, the Eastern Christian were shocked by the words and screamed. The people in the place looked at each other as Acqua went forward to add more details. ''Then, the Eastern Christians were all alarmed and went for actions to prepare for the weapons. Not long afterwards, they will be armed in the teeth. Vasilisa immediately looked at Misha, who immediately withdrew her weapon with a sigh.''
 * Noelle: Hello, comrade.
 * TransBM.pngVasilisa: "Comrade" is not a Russian word.
 * Noelle: Oh, come on! It is!
 * Vasilisa: I am not in the mood to buy your bad gag, Sister Boelle. Just tell me who they are.
 * Noelle: Release them! They are not the spy. They are our friends.
 * Vasilisa: But why didn't they say so?
 * Carl & Matt: We DID say so!
 * [[File:Jeanne_alter_and_ruler_fate_grand_order_and_fate_series_drawn_by_shiguru_sample-0a2001f61e30bd3704d744c057a78b86.jpg|thumb|340px]]Noelle: This is the son of the late Duke Firenza who saved the miller's family, and this ma, Matt, is my very own brother!
 * Matt: We came to warn you! Melancholia is coming!
 * Matt: She said she know the place of your hiding and will tell Michael about it. They will be attacking here in dawn with a thousand man!
 * Sasha_Kreutzev_Manga.jpgAcqua: And it wastes no time. We must take actions immediately!

Then, Vasilisa looked at Carl with an apologetic smile. ​Hearing all of this, Carl was utterly confused and he looked at Vasilisa. ​Then, Vasilisa smiled as she looked at Carl playfully. Hearing "Mr. Robinson", however, instead of cheering up, ​Carl lowered his head in dismay. ''​Vasilisa shook her head with a sigh. She seemed much, much nicer than Carl formerly thought, as she was not being that malicious. Misha went away to report this unexpected arrival to Patriarch Krans.'' Just as this time, following the footsteps of Misha, the Patriarch arrived at the place, and both Matt and Carl noticed him.
 * Vasilisa: I am really sorry for my reckless attitude, Mr. Robinson. Please come. The Patriarch will be glad to see you assisting us.
 * Carl: Who are you people?
 * 56214317_p0_master1200.jpgVasilisa: We are clergies of Eastern Orthodox Church, Mr. Robinson, and we are your friend if you want us to be.
 * Carl: You see, my family name is not Robinson. It was Firenza. Believe it or not, but I have "accidentally" become the son of Duke Firenza.
 * Vasilisa: Destiny is not a accident, Carl. You are born with some special talents, not curses, and like her, you suffered a lot... but I will try to fix it.
 * Carl: Her?
 * Vasilisa: Maria Arzonia.
 * 45183219_p1_master1200.jpgKrans: Greetings, Mr. Robinson and Mr. Butcher. This is Patriarch Krans.

''Realized that the boy who arrived here was the patriarch judging by his attire, Carl was so surprised that he even dropped his jaw. He never expected that he was looking at a kid patriarch.'' ''Even so, Carl held back his surprise and immediately knelt to the Patriarch, showing the respect. Matt did the same despite being surprised as well.'' ''As Carl and Matt knelt to the patriarch, the patriarch immediately help them to get up. Carl cleared his throat before he looked at the Patriarch in the eyes.'' Carl and Matt looked at each other, and Carl calmly answered the question of Patriarch Krans with a calm tone and a confident grin.
 * Carl: (think) * A kid? The famous Patriarch Krans is a... a kid!?*
 * Reckless.Fist.(Raven).full.947944.jpg: No need. Please.
 * Krans: Mr. Robinson, I don't mean to be rude but... hmm, don't you think your presence is too, um... too unexpected?

''Suddenly, Carl had to pause for a bit when all of a sudden, he realized that he had made a mistake. So, he immediately corrected himself.'' Feeling uneasy, Carl blushed when he met with that mistake, but fortunately he overcame it, much to everyone's amusement - and of course, that amusement were kept secret. Krans nodded with a smile after hearing this. Carl scratched his head and chuckled with a smile.
 * Carl: Apologies, Your Holiness, but 'tis certain the world we know ends today, and I won't be letting the likes of Langdon Michael...
 * Carl: ... well, say, sometimes known as Michael Langdon...
 * Carl: I won't be letting the likes of Michael Langdon to seize any chance upon us, so I came here immediately!
 * Noelle: And that is correct.
 * Krans: Thank you for coming to this place. Cardinal Sforza told me about you and she trusted you that you can be our allies. We've been attacked by several troops of King Hamdo and so we were strengthening 
 * Carl: Nah, that's okay. By the way...
 * Carl: Don't thank me. Thank my friend Matt Butcher. Without his help, I may never make it to find myself a way here.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - (???): Nor would I.

''A deep and dark voice occured not far away from the crowd. Shocked, the people from the crowd all turned their face and saw a tall hooded figure who entered the place, and he was followed by several demonic troops behind him. Matt was shocked to recognize those demon troops... and he slowly paced back.'' ​The hooded figure stepped forward as the demon troops started to flow towards the Eastern Orthodox clergies and surrounded them, ready for an attack.
 * Matt: I-I... It is impossible! That was the army of demons that terrorized the entire world! Who is this person? Why did he or she had the power to control them?



<p style="text-align:center;">' - (???): Patriarch Krans, good evening. I... am Michael Langdon. '

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



​After a moment of absurd silence, the Patriarch asked this question in blank astonishment.
 * Krans: Who are you?

The hooded figure was apparently surprised by the words of the patriarch, and it immediately widened its eyes and pointed at itself. The figure then returned to its cool tone. ''Just then, Maria Arzonia immediately rushed out from the crowd. She had just arrived at the scene after hearing Carl's presense and then she saw the very presence of the hooded figure.''
 * ???: Ah, me?
 * ???: I am Michael Langdon, of course.



However, she was confident to believe that man was not Michael Langdon. ''The hooded person was furious and immediately lost his cool. He turned to Maria and yelled angrily like a mad dog.'' The patriarch closed his eyes in scorn. At this time, Vasilisa and Matt whispered and they discussed to each other. ''Maria coughed as she looked at that hooded person. She met Michael before and so she never believed that the person was him.'' ''All of a sudden, the hooded person had collapsed on the ground and yelling like a scared beast, aibeit in an comical way. The Black Army all collapsed on the ground in a comical way, and the people who looked at him all had a large drop of sweat on their heads.'' Matt looked at Maria with awe, and Maria smilingly put a hand on her hip, making a pose out of confidence. ''Just then, much to everyone's shock, Matt held Maria's hand in his hand all of a sudden, and Maria immediately blushed in surprise. Matt looked at Maria but soon he lowered his head.'' Maria's pink lips was shivering as Matt looked at her with feelings... Maria's eyes widened as she blushed, and then she suddenly fell down on the ground like melting creams on a snow cone, much to everyone's surprise. As people were all surprised by Matt's weird moves, Maria slowly raised her pinkish face with a blunt smile before she gave her answers. Matt's excitement suddenly skyrocketed as he widened his eyes in excitement. In happiness, Matt pinched his cheeks...
 * Maria: Guards! Apprehend this imposter!
 * ???: Wait a minute! Why don't you look at me more closely?
 * Krans: There is no need.
 * Vasilisa: I am starting to feel embarrased for this strange guy.
 * Maria: By the way, do you know what will become of you after this crime? Did you know you were just insulting the IQ of the Patriarch?
 * ???: Maybe... and so what?
 * Maria: If you are found guilty, then you will be sentenced... death!
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.1520734.jpg???: AHHH!!! AHHH!!! YOUR HOLINESS, FORGIVE ME! AM I GONNA DIE? I DON'T WANT TO DIE!
 * Maria: Good, the danger is over.
 * Matt: Maria...
 * Maria: Mr. Butcher...
 * Matt: Just call me Matt, please.
 * Matt: I love you. Would you be my friend?
 * Toaru_Majutsu_no_Index_II_E04_21m_03s.jpgMisha & Agnese: Awwwww.....
 * Maria: Yes!
 * Matt: Is it a dream? Am I dreaming?
 * Maria: Well, if you want to know if it was a dream or not, why don't you pinch your cheek?

Reality
''In happiness, Matt pinched his cheeks... before he found himself standing in a battleground filled with smoke.''

The Eastern Christians, Agnese Forces as well as their allies all fought bravely against the Black Demon, and that hooded figure was attacking people fiercely as well. It was nothing but some sort of daydreaming of Matt after that hooded figure's arrival.

''Suddenly, a bomb was thrown towards Matt, and Carl immediately jumped up and sliced the bomb in half with Matt's blade. Then, Carl immediately turned back to Matt angrily.''

''Carl returned Matt's blade back to his owner almost immediately. Matt was so shocked that he was speecless, but soon he stopped acting weird and started to attack those Black Demons.''
 * Carl: Boy, are you daydreaming!? We are in need of reinforcement!

Act 2 - Son of Frankenstein
<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile

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

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> Far, far away from Russian Resistence Base At this time, like those Eastern Christians, Maria Arzonia was in trouble dealing with the demons from the Black Army as well.
 * Maria: No! Let go of me! I have an urgent work to do! Can't you hear me?

''Some time ago, under Cardinal Sforza's Maria Arzonia was on her way looking for Carl and Matt, since she was worried about them very deeply. She looked for them around Eastern Asia in a striking speed like a bullet, but she could not find them anywhere.''



''What was worse, when she was searching in Northeast China, she immediately got into a fight with Black Army which she actually took no interest in it, given just how urgent her mission was. However, she was eventually stuck into the place.'' ''Enraged by the demon's attack, Maria immediately raised her fist and then, with a sizziling noise coming from that place, Maria's fists started to swell and melt... into two large fists of burning red lava. She flew on the midair and pointed her fists at the demons.'' ''Pointing the fists at the demons, Maria immediately fired several shots of burning balls made of vocanic rocks with magma, like metorites. Those magma meteors immeidately went all way down toward the demons and struck them.'' Then, Maria immediately turned her fists back to normal as the metors caused fire and explosion on the snowy ground, and Maria immediately spun herself like a violent tornado, kicking the demons down with all her might, but the demons of the Black Army kept fought against them. ''Fearing that further attack may harm innoncent citizens, Maria did not use her complete power to attack those demons, but since she became a spirit from Paradise now, her power was still immense. Soon, vast casualities of the demons started to increase when Maria hitted them with her fiery fists, flaming sword as well as her hand that threw flame and magma.''
 * Maria: ENOUGH!
 * Maria: Now, I don't care who you are, but you made me angry and you messed up with the wrong person! Great Eruption!
 * Maria: You will all die in here!
 * Maria: Hmm, that is troublesome...
 * Maria: (think) * Oh, no, it can't be... I must get back to base, and I think Carl and Matt would be there! *

Maria had no idea that how those demons started to appear, and she was not sure whether they were summoned by Reverend Mother Melancholia, the current Mother Superior of Catholic Church and Michael Langdon's right-hand. ''However, even though Maria was uncertain about the origins of those demons, she had a bad feeling that the world was going to be torn apart as her heart pounced in sheer fright. She soon forced herself into a large house via smashing herself through a glass window. According to Maria's own speculation, the house was already empty since its owner had already fled.''
 * Maria: Tsk! It's just too many of them! If this is what Melancholia planned---

''All of a sudden, Maria heard some music that sounded like some sort of bell, and Maria was confused. She and the demons stopped fighting and all turned to the source of that music.''

Surprised, Maria immediately had her jaws dropped when she saw a large ice cream truck rushed towards her and the demons in front of them. ''However, before she could react, the ice cream passed by her as she immediately stepped back in shock and because of the gust of air turbulence the truck caused. Those demons from the Black Army, however, were much less lucky. The ice cream truck hit some of them and sent them all the way towards Black Dragon River not far away.''
 * Adamfefiuh.jpgMaria: Wait! Wait a sec--

Just then, the back of the truck was opened, and two people with clear facial scars jumped out of the truck and immediately landed themselves swiftly on the ground as the truck fell into the river, exploded.



''It was Adam Frankenstein and his trusted partner, the Bride, who were now working for Chronos Empire. As Adam turned back to look at that explosion when the truck fell into the river, Maria immediately recognized who the two were.'' ''Happily, she waved her hand and called for help. At this point, Adam immediately noticed her, and so was the Bride.''
 * Maria: Those two people... they were both siding with Katarina when I saw them... in Sleepy Hollow!
 * Maria: Hey, are you Katarina's friends? Come here! I need a hand!

Before Adam and the Bride could react, some demons suddenly came out of nowhere and attacked them, prompted Adam and the Bride to take two axes and a sword, respectively, in order to defend themselves.

The Bride sighed with a sweatdrop on her forehead, as she was trying to defend herself from a demon's large blade.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Bride: Oh, that's why you looked at that explosion... '

Maria was surprised by this and then she turned back in order to find her way out, but there were demons inside the house as well, trying to attack her. Meanwhile, at Adam and the Bride's side, the two eventually took down the demons who were just surrounding them, and soon they rushed towards a crowd of demons that were trying to enter the house.
 * Maria: Aw, no...

''The two then struck down the demons from behind as Maria started to strike the demons in the opposite way with her fiery fists. Maria were fighting against her enemies in struggle, but then she saw Adam attacking the demons as well. That give her more confidence.'' ''Maria immediately started to burn the demon quicker as Adam and the Bride were killing demons on another side like a lawnmower. The demons were felling on the ground and reduced to ashes, and finally, after the demons in the house were cleansed, Maria and Adam stopped attacking and then looked at each other, face to face.''
 * Maria: Ah, thank God...

''Maria swiftly nodded as she narrowed her eyes. She then withdrew her sword and showed Adam her hand.''
 * Adam: You said you are a friend, right?
 * Maria: Yes, I am. My mission was to save this world from those wicked warmongers and had Eckidina KnightWalker's head. You are either with me, or you are against me. There is no middle ground.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Maria: I am Maria Arzonia, a Spirit from Paradise. '

Adam looked at Maria first and then, a smile appeared on his face, and he friendly shook his hand with Maria. ''After shaking hands with Adam, Maria then shook her hand with the Bride as well, smiling friendly. She had now calmed down from her fueled rage.'' Maria then turned back and took a look at the land of Heilongjiang Province with her smile faded. ''Adam sighed as he shrugged his shoulders. The demons from Black Army that were surrounding them were defeated for now, but it was uncertain that there would be more demons.'' ''Hearing this, Maria narrowed her eyes and soon deduced what it was. She clenched her fists and bit her lips in anger.'' The Bride and Adam both nodded their head.
 * Adam: I am Adam Frankenstein, an agent of the Chronos Empire forces, and this is my partner, Bride Frankenstein.
 * Maria: You are from the forces of Chronos Empire, huh? Good to know that.
 * Maria: When did Chronos Empire started to take actions in China?
 * Adam: At least? As far as I know, for years, and under their secret leader, Chronos Empire maintained a friendly relationship with Chinese governent since they both have one certain enemy - one that the entire globe were currently fighting now in this time of a year.
 * Nehnhvhm.png: Enemies? You mean the KnightWalkert Alliance.


 * The Bride: You seemed bear a lot of hatred on Eckidina KnightWalker as well. We were once bearing our personal feud with her, but now this feud had made us joining a war, not for revenge, but for greater good.

''At this point, ​Maria was mildly surprised when she heard that the leader of Chronos Empire was... female.''
 * Adam: That is what the leader of Chronos Empire told us when we first joined her.


 * Maria: Her?
 * Adam: She called herself Sephiria Arks KnightWalker, and she said she was Eckidina's sister who broke their ties long ago. As far as I know, she was currently in Japan and tried to stop her sister. She trusted us deeply.

​Just then, Adam narrowed his eyes once more and looked at Maria. Maria then sadly sighed as she looked at the falling snow from the sky.
 * Adam: By the way, Maria, you said you are a spirit from Paradise, and I assume you were once a victim of Eckidina as well?
 * Maria: Yes, but that does not matter. It was just because... a "good" business.
 * Maria: The current situation within China is now not optimistic, and we must take actions. For example, as far as I know, Michael Langdon who had took over the Catholic Church were planning to create a bioweapon that would cause chaos and blood everywhere, and a boy was the key to solve all of this. We must find him!

''Looking at each other after Maria was finished, Adam and the Bride were both surprised when they heard the name Michael Langdon, and they immediately looked at Maria. Maria swiftly nodded her head.'' ''At this time, Maria swiftly changed back into her ghost form, albeit with another type of white dress with blue and golden stripes. She also remade her hairstyle and looked much tidier.'' ​"......" ''The Bride suddenly pointed at Maria as she widened her eyes. Adam and Maria both looked at her with surprise.'' ​Maria nodded with a smile and start curteseying in front of the two gracefully. ​Maria then widened her eyes once more, with an expression full of confidence.
 * Maria: Yes, the Church is planning its own secret move under the new pope, but I managed to save the project's vital subject - a boy with demonic blood - out of danger. Even so, I am not sure if he made it to the Russian Orthodox Church's Patriarch, who is the leader of Russian Resistence.
 * Maria: When the right time came, we will catch up with Katarina, the Red Haired Demon. Since we all allied with her once, we could allied with her once again.
 * [[File:Crimson_avenger_and_elesis_elsword_drawn_by_hagha_sample-322f07106e7ec9e670e004f06ff0b0bf.jpg|thumb|340px]]Bride: Oh, I remember that!
 * Bride: You are Maria Arzonia, right? You are the one who helped Katarina out of Michael Langdon's shadow!
 * Adam: Really?
 * Maria: Indeed... but I am sad that I could only help her once before I was dragged back into this era. However, since now we joined the same force, we will be more powerful.
 * Bamba_Shinya_ep2.jpgAdam: That is correct.
 * Maria: Now, Michael Langdon is trying to seize some more profits for him in the war, and he even sent out a teenage killer, Shinya Banba, to do his dirty work.
 * Maria: However, there is nothing to worry about. I will help you to the Russian Resistance base and I will find the boy who "Pope" Michael was now looking for...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Maria: His name is Carl Robinson, and he had a friend named Matt Butcher. '

Adam then looked at Maria before he promptly nodded. ''Suddenly, Maria, Adam and the Bride immediately felt that there was something shining. Maria then immediately saw the palm side her left glove, where a shining yellow diamond was attached. It was planted by Cardinal Sforza a few days before in order to keep the communication between Maria and the Resitene Base. The shining of the diamon meant that there were a message.'' ''Maria swiftly pushed the diamond and then a small, golden figure appeared on Maria's hand, only 15 centermeters tall. It was a hologram of Vasilisa.'' Hearing this, Maria felt both suspended and excited, and if the good news was about Carl and Matt, she would be glad since they would definitely be fine. Vasilisa then coughed as she started. ''Hearing this, Maria sighed and smiled in relief... before she recalled that there was also a bad news.'' Vasilisa lowered her head and did not answer... Then, Maria saw Vasilisa slowly lifted her head once again and blink her eyes in an apologetic manner... Maria then chuckled as she covered her lips with her spared right hand. Vasilisa then swept a large drop of sweat on her forehead with a sigh.
 * AdamFrankenstein.jpgAdam: Very good, and I will help you to look for them, Maria.
 * Vasilisa_Profile.jpgMaria: A message?
 * Maria: Sister Vasilisa?
 * Vasilisa: [Maria, Cardinal Sforza suggested me to contact you, since we have two good news and one bad news. Which do you want to hear first?]
 * Toaru_Majutsu_no_Index_II_E19_02m_03s.jpgMaria: Good news, please, good news.
 * Vasilisa: [The first good news is, Carl and Matt arrived at the place and were safe. The second good news is, the current situation is absolutely safe.]
 * Maria: Very well, but what's the bad news?
 * QWWERASD.pngMaria: Vasilisa? ...
 * Vasilisa: I am afraid that you were getting angry and worried.
 * Maria: You are so adorable. Since Carl and Matt are fine and everything is safe, how should I get angry or worried?
 * Vasilisa: Hmm, very well, and here is the first, and the only bad news...

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

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

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

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Vasilisa: [Turns out, the second "good news" is not true...] 

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

''All three were speechless by Vasilisa's own dark sense of humor, and they were not amused since they realized that situation was worsen. The hplogram of Vasilisa disappeared as she hung the "telephone".''
 * Berseria-5.jpgMaria: ......
 * Adam: ......
 * Bride: ......
 * Vasilisa: [Good luck.]
 * Maria: Wait a second... Aw, not again.

Maria then worryingly looked at Adam. ''Maria then immediately rushed towards the front, as Adam and the Bride were following her. At this critical point, they tried to race against the clock... but soon they found out that there were three Chinese old ladies were in their way, slowly walking.''
 * QWASDCCA.pngMaria: They are in danger...
 * Adam: We must get out of this building right now!

''Turns out there were people in the house! Maria started to be somewhat glad that she did not burn down the house to destroy those demons. However, those old ladies did not notice anything happened behind them and behaved like phantoms.'' Getting shocked, Maria and Adam immediately yelled in fraustration. ''Maria was fraustrated and she immediately turned to Adam, ignoring those old ladies. Just then, as the old ladies went away, Maria saw a door beside them and it was opened, much to her delight.'' ''​Hearing this, Adam and the Bride looked at her with surprise. They were both amazed by the words.'' ''Maria then jumped high and tried to showed her wings, but before she could fly, her head hit the ceiling and bounced back to the ground. She immediately covered her head with her palm, biting her lips in chargin and pain. She slowly stood up and embarrasedly stepped back to the door slowly.'' ''Suddenly, Maria lost her balance and she fell backwards, rolled down from the stairs and had her head fell into a pile of snow. Adam and the Bride were shocked and frightened when they saw this!'' Much to Adam and Bride's surprise, however, Maria simply stood up from the ground and petted her dress as if it became dusty, but in fact it was not dusty and had no trace of snow on it.
 * Maria: What's the problem... (=_=) |||
 * Adam: Ladies, ladies, come on...
 * Bride: How to say "get the hell out of our way" in Chinese!?
 * Maria: An exit? Hmm, then, we will start running out of conventional running.
 * Adam: Really?
 * Maria: Yes, since I will take you both flying, and my bags for vomit is reserved, but if you are scared of height and/or have a heart attack, then tourist discretion advised.
 * Adam: You can fly?
 * Maria: Sure, I can, like this...
 * Maria: Oh, sorry, I was careless. I forgot that we are still inside this house, and... WHOA!!!
 * Adam: Watch out! The stairs here have many levels! We had just came into this house via this door!
 * Bride: Oh, are you feeling all right? Is there any necessity to go for some medical treatment?

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Maria: No, thank you... Now, let's go!'

Act 3 - Reinforcement in Time
<p style="text-align:center;"> Russian Resistance Base 






 * ???: Ah, I got slowed down?





<p style="text-align:center;">' - Maria: You... You again!? '




 * ???: So, that is all nothing but a dream of myself dressed up like him? No, I don't...





''All of a sudden, Melancholia realized that it was all but her illusion within her mind. Michael never asked her to assist her in such an action, and he never came to help her in Ukraine either. She then covered her chest with a crazy smile on her face.''

Carl could not believe his eyes as he saw the face of Melancholia wearing the Unknown Grand Grimoire Figure's suit Melancholia covered her head and felt that her blood was boiling, and every of her own hair was flowing behind her as her face turned more and more menacing, more and more scary...
 * Melancholia: Carl Robinson, Carl Robinson, Carl Robinson, Carl Robinson, Carl Robinson, Carl Robinson... !!!

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Melancholia: You... think... you... can... even... win!? Carl Robinson... or... FIRENZA JUNIOR!?'

Yelling in an outburst of sudden rage, Melancholia immediately let out a paper-folding armor before it became violet auras, and then the aura start merging with the evil fairy, transforming her into her true form, the insane and sadistic enforcer of Michael Langdon. Raising her sword, Melancholia immediately broke the curse of Sloth and stabbed through the chest of the Patriarch, making him bellowed in sheer pain. ''The Patariarch was unexpected with such a immense and frightening attack coming from this caged beast within a skin of beauty. He was strucked in the chest, but fortunately, he immediately regenerated himself.''
 * Melancholia: YOU ALL DARED TO RUIN AND DISPROVE MY GREATEST DREAM EVER? THEN, I... I'LL TAKE YOU ALL WITH IT!!!
 * Krans: AHHHHHHHHH!!!
 * Krans: I cannot allow you to get into this place, no matter who you are!









''Matt then prepared a pile of papers and put it on a table beside him. It was the script of his scripts.'' Suddenly, a gust of wind started to blow and soon, the papers were blowing everywhere in the place, and people were all shocked and went to pick papers. ''Matt, however, kept his cool, and he closed his eyes, cleared his sinuses before he spoke "ladies and gentleman". People beside him stopped picking up papers and looked at him, wondering how he would speak his speech when his script turned into mess.''
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.1378664.jpgMatt: Listen up, my friends! Here is some important speech I prepared when I was here...
 * Matt: Ladies and gentleman...
 * Matt: Ahem, ladies and gentleman...
 * Kaori: How would he achieve it?
 * Misha: Time to find out.
 * Matt: Ladies and gentlemen...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Matt: ... my speech is over. Dismissed. '

''Matt then heard a loud "BANG" on the ground and he opened his eyes. Then, he got a surprise. Every single personel who was preparing to listen to his speech all collapsed on the ground in dismay. Maria did not fell, but she only covered her face with disappointment. Matt was embarrased.'' ​Matt cleared his throat again before finally starting his speech, and this time, everyone got up when they Matt was speaking something serious at last. Matt then took a glance at Maria who was kept standing, but at this time, Maria had no longer cover her face with her hands anymore ''Maria's face suddenly lit up and she looked at Matt with curiousity as she blink. Matt continued his speech as people all looked at him.'' ''​Matt then oped his palm and lifted it, pointed at the place where Maria was standing. People were all looking at Maria with awe, while Maria was wide''
 * Matt: Ahem, I was just joking...
 * Matt: It is only needs a breath of fire that can purge the evil.
 * Matt: Maria Arzonia is a hero.
 * Maria: She is a lighthouse amongst the dark mist and shadows that surrounded us. In this savage world filled with nothing but despair, we cannot lose hope to bring peace and end this war.
 * Matt: This girl tells us, not with her words, but with her actions, that you need to do what you should have done in this war, or more and more people will get hurt. We cannot tolerate Mafusa Gang anymore. We cannot tolerate the KnightWalkers anymore! Michael Langdon, Junko Enoshima, Eckidina KnightWalker and many, many more criminals and scums must pay!

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Matt: This war needs to end... and now, ladies and gentlemen, I annouce the foundation of the Catholic Rebels in the name of Ms. Arzonia! 

''Matt immediately applauded and two Agnese Force nuns immediately lifted Maria up. Due to her spiritual nature, Maria was as light as a feather. Maria saw the people around her were all applauding and was kind of surprised.''

''Carl and Misha were applauding as well. Kaori sat beside them and smiled at Maria, meaning, "You deserve it." Then, the two nuns lifted Maria on the stage and then they let her stand on the ground.''

Looking people smiling and applauding, Maria could not believe her eyes and she questioned Matt. ​Maria widened her eyes and then, she smiled when she felt warmth, but that was a smile of humility, not a smile of pride. Matt and Maria smiled at each other, and Carl beside them was shrugging his shoulders. ''The applause was even louder and when Maria raised her hand, the applause stopped. Maria blushed a bit, but when she saw Cardinal Sforza looking at her with a look full of encouragement, Maria regained her composure.'' ''Then, Matt and Maria moved forward, hand in hand. They smiled as they walked forward and forward... and they stopped at the edge of stage.''
 * Maria: Matt... you... help to build the resistence in my name?
 * Matt: Yeah, in your name.
 * Maria: No, Matt, this is for the sake of all of us... I am only one of us.
 * Carl: (think) * Duh, as if it was dating... *
 * Maria: I did not prepare any script, so I only say what I want to say. People, this is an honor for me to give my own presentation... no, for all of us... to gather around here and fight against evil. I can feel that the war is about to end, but as long as the most devilish kind in this world still exist, especially the puppets from the KnightWalker Family... the war would will eventually rise once again. Now, we must find a way to reclaim what we had lost... and together, we will bring tranquality on this world.
 * Maria: For a new era of freedom.
 * Matt: For a new world of peace.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Matt & Maria: Amen. '

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> St. Peter's Ballisca 

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

''At this time, Michael sat within the throne room, alone and silent. He had another feeling that his soul fragment within Melancholia had driven her insane, and Michael smiled as that piece of soul left the body of Melancholia merged back into his original body.''
 * Michael: Hmm, despite this act was cruel, but fortunately I have make Melancholia to do things with no mercy, since she still had a part of Plaisir inside her. That made her merciful, soft and weak.

Michael then slowly stood up from his throne and looked aside. The mastermind that Michael was referred to was none other than The Fallen's Essence who suddenly appeared in the space and interrupted the deadly and catastrophic power of Heis that almost destroyed the entire Earth.
 * Michael: This is such an unbelievable and exciting experience happening today, knowing the world is about to end... However, since the mastermind of this war needs this planet... whereas I don't care it at all.



Michael closed his vision once he saw the Fallen's Essence had turned into a dragon and attempted to destroy Aldegyr Kingdom from space. ''Michael suddenly felt weary and he sat back on his throne with a smug smirk... before his face turned more serious once again.'' With his semi-omnipotence, Michael easily deduced that mysterious Imperia he never saw before was actually La Folia Rihavein, who was supposed to be dead in the capital of Aldegyr Kingdom.
 * Michael: This is intriguing... The Fallen's Essence, that Deus.Ex.Machina Industries Empire, as well as Nazis from space... I know where Aryana Westcott are coming from, but what was she looking for? I must take it seriously since it might harm my own good.
 * Michael: At least, thanks to Heis, my power that I almost lost was recovering and I might set out in at least three months, but now since I have work to do with Nevins, I need to leave Katarina alone. As for La Folia... or Imperia Deamonne...
 * Michael: (think) * You have more friends, Katarina, but there are many fates worse than death, my dear Red Haired Demon. How could you live forever in a life of solitude? *

''Holding his head with his palm, Michael closed his eyes. He was now the only man in Vatican who could remain calm in such a immense power of destruction. Others were hiding inside their own department and almost freaked out in horror.'' Then, overcame from his mild shock easily, Michael's eyes opened in sheer malice as if he had won some sort of match with ease.
 * Michael: Such a immense power I see... from someone I once underestimated. Not bad, and I am truly impressed by you, Kanon Rihavein...

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Michael: No, I mean... Heis...'

''He easily remembered her name... and he will remember it for eternity.''



Act 4 - Magilou & Poison Ivy
<p style="text-align:center;"> North Atlantic Ocean

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

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

''The night sky was filled with some sort of nefarious sign. The sun itself was as red as the blood, and the sky was like it was about to collapse.''

''Unbeknowest to Melancholia, it was caused by the power of Heis, the dark angel alter-ego of Kanon Rihavein, who were currently battling Katarina Couteau and her friends. However, she did deduced that something was going terribly wrong, and it was about to drive the world into destruction.''

''One hour after she had retreated back to her base, Melancholia felt that everything turned normal... until all of a sudden, she could feel that the earth itself shaking violently.'' Melancholia immediately went to a device which could check the earthquake around the world by showing her a large holographic Earth, and her eyebrowse twitched when she saw Aldegyr Kingdom suddenly disappeared. Seeing one nation just disappeared from the place, Melancholia was so shocked that for a while she even forgot how to express panic or how to breath.
 * 0opj90-ioiophijo.pngMelancholia: W-what is that?
 * Melancholia: Something must have destroyed Aldegyr Kingdom... something powerful.

Unbeknowest to Melancholia, the Kingdom of Aldegyr was destroyed by The Fallen's Essence from space in a form of a gigantic dragon. ''Suddenly, Melancholia heard an alert and turned to a screen on a survilliance camera, and then she saw something shocking. A large, crimson shadow floated at the ruins of the place once known as Aldegyr Kingdom and flowed towards the Atlantic Ocean, causing her shock.''
 * Melancholia: What in the Devil's Name...

''It was the Fallen's Essence. Despite not knowing what it was, Melancholia realized that it was the very same being that wiped out Aldegyr Kingdom.'' ''Melancholia then turned to the cocoon of FOLIE, watching the very monster she had created before she pointed the tip of her sword to her stomach, ready for her suicide... since she knew she had no choice but releasing the vast monster in order to fight against that mysterious intruder.'' Tears started to stream down the face of Melancholia as she shivered in distress as well as arouse, finally seeing her own despair but just as she was about to plunge the sword into her own stomach, the alert had stopped. ''Melancholia turned to the screen once again as she finally realized that her place was actually safe. The Fallen's Essence sunk into the abyss of ocean in a form of puff smoke, and later he would reappear in Novosic Kingdom instead of Melancholia's own base.''
 * Melancholia: It's... it's coming towards the place of mine?
 * Joan.Alter.full.2080509.jpgMelancholia: My creation, please remember how your "mother" suffered and disgraced. Destroy everything as your want, and kill anyone I hate. Goodbye...
 * Melancholia: That's the...

Melancholia sighed in relief as she wiped her tears and put her hood back. ''Just then, a greenish demon soldier went into the control room and saw Melancholia. She widened her gaze as she turned back.'' Hearing all of those reports, Melancholia listened to the news quietly and then, she smiled. The demon bowed to Melancholia before he went to send a message to Michael about all of those recent events, leaving Melancholia in thoughts. At this time, Melancholia was aroused after hearing Kanon's apparent death, but she then thought about that mysterious monster that appeared in Aldegyr Kingdom after the execution of La Folia.
 * Melancholia: Phew, maybe for another time.
 * Casterwithhood3.jpgDemon troop: Mother Superior, reports has indicated that the demons around the world was fading, and Katarina Couteau went to, um, she went to somewhere unknown, and forces of Godom Empire, Ratatoskr and Peace Foundation were last seeing in Aldegyr Kingdom. Despite having her corpse missing, La Folia Rihavein is not with Katarina Couteau when she went on board a gigantic space ship, believed to be Franxinus.
 * Date_A_Live_II_Screenshot_0044.jpgMelancholia: Very well, very well, and I think the destruction of Aldegyr Kingdom shall relieve me from so many troubles, but I assume that Katarina Couteau was still alive, and I bet that someone had took La Folia's corpse away. Tell His Holiness that we finish our work... in some sort of surprising way.
 * Tobiichi_origami_spirit_mode_by_kazenokaze-d7c7dfx.pngMelancholia: So Kanon Rihavein was dead and Ratatoskr apparently saved Katarina... Ah, I never adore those creeps, but...

''Melancholia then thought about Katarina before biting her own lips. She was both interested and worried about what Katarina was capable of.'' ''Then, Melancholia looked at her face in the mirror. She took down her hood, wishing to see Michael's face in the mirror, but when she saw the face of her own, the disillusion immediately drowned once again as she start shivering in horror.''
 * Melancholia: Hmm, and what is that monster which looked like a dinosaur? If it was Katarina Couteau, hmm... well, then, that will be awful and horrible.
 * Melancholia: The Red Haired Demon... one day I shall bury you with my bare hands.
 * Melancholia: So that is real, right? He never helped me in that battle...

Melancholia then bursted into crying once again as she covered her head with her hands and immediately bowed down into tears.

''Like Ichabod, Melancholia was just another victim of Moloch after he killed her entire family and friends in front of her, forcing her to be his servant. The only reason to make Melancholia remained at Moloch's remnents was because she met Michael Langdon, who offered her great help.''

Melancholia was grateful to Michael, and so she became his servant with undying loyalty as well as sheer will to enforce him.

''Melancholia then bit her lips as she thought about the mysterious force that destroyed Aldegyr Kingdom, who was known as the Fallen's Essence. Then, Melancholia immediately went to her boxes of ten syringes that contained the blood of Carl.''
 * Melancholia: Even so, I am not going to give up my own destiny.

''Wiping her tears while wearing a sadistic grin once again, Melancholia took one of the syringe that was sealed. She looked at the red liquid inside the syringe with a smile.'' Then, Melancholia turned back as if she found someone was behind her. Sister Paula was standing not far away from her as she crossed her arm.
 * Melancholia: Soon, my new plan was about to bear fruits, and now it was the time to make Esther and Mary Spencer into the Russian Orthodox Church to avenge me...
 * Melancholia: Am I right, Sister Paula?
 * Paula: Reverend Mother, I know about your next arrangement, and I brought the Byzantine Parang to Mary Spencer as you asked in the name of His Holiness. However, why did you want to make Esther to go to the place?

''Melancholia smiled in a horrendous face. Her eyes began to become abonormal, and her face turned unnaturally purple.'' Sister Paula was astonished to hear that, but then she returned back to her calm and cold personality as she looked at Melancolia with doubts. Melancholia smiled deviously as she walked towards Paula, looking at the latters in the eyes.
 * Melancholia: I want to break her innoncence.
 * Paula: But how?
 * Melancholia: You know quite well how that weapon shall work, right?
 * Tumblr_m83b8ueaaA1qmpg90o1_500.gifPaula: Yes, ma'am, and so what?

Melancholia lifted her own head with full of pride. ​Then, a cruel smile appeared on the pale face of Melancholia, and even Sister Paula was frightened despite controlling her own feelings. Then, Melancholia smiled even more wicked. ​As she started to play with her hair, Melancolia answered in aloof. ​Paula put her hand on her chin thoughtfully. At this time, ​Paula then went forward as she asked in distraught. Then, Melancholia turned back and did not face Paula anymore.
 * Melancholia: I want to watch how Esther see her beloved sister to become a sadistic and cruel killer. However, that is not the point. I will manipulate her purity, make her believe that the Orthodox Church was the evil people whereas His Holiness was forced to join KA because of those dreadful Russians.
 * The_Byzantine_Parang.jpgMelancholia: You helped me to convince her that Katarina was the bad one. Nice work. The next step shall be told by me, and I will make Esther to believe that the Russian Orthodox Church is another evil forces that tried to destroy the New USSR so that they can gain power to destroy Vatican, and since Esther was grateful with the pope's "timely help", she must stand on his side.
 * Melancholia: However, that is not the end. I will make Esther to befriend Carl Robinson in order to gain each other's trust, and I shall make Mary to kill Esther. Then, there shall come the true show.
 * Paula: And what is it?
 * 365TrinityBloodMarySpencer.jpgMelancholia: Juding by his own reckless personality, Carl will definitely kill Mary using the ways no matter what it was, to save the life of Esther. Then, no matter how he explained, the chasm between their breaking friendship shall never be repaired.
 * Paula: Hmm, it is a good way to hurt Carl, and Esther shall be loyal to us forever after this incident. She won't trust anyone but us..
 * Paula: But what if Mary Spencer rejected the power of the knife?
 * Melancholia: Then, I shall inject her the blood of Carl, and so she will become nothing but our puppets... unless she strucked at someone who was ill. Therefore, I want Cardinal Sforza to be captured alive, since I suspect that sick woman will one day betray us.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Melancholia: However, please do not make Esther know that her sister was corrupted, Paula. The plan shall work, but only if when Esther was blined from the truth. Therefore, please be careful what you say around her... Otherwise, I will have you executed. '

Paula heard the words as she started to sweat, but still she bowed to her superior with respect. ''Paula then slowly and carefully went away, but not before she took one last glance of fear towards the deranged evil fairy. Then, Melancholia smiled wickedly as she looked at the cocoon. The monster she created was inside it, sleeping.''
 * Paula: As you wished, Mother Superior.

At this time, Melancholia decided to show no mercy on anyone who dare to defy her and she would go on to her dreadful plan to purge the world.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Melancholia: That man humilated me, that poor Firenza Junior, and soon I shall return him the favor!

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> 3 days later

<p style="text-align:center;"> 9:00 AM ''The day was both dark and gloomy. Clouds started to build on the sky. It was daytime, but the day was as dark as night. The sky was foggy.''

''At this time, there were no invasions. Matt and Maria were walking on the street when it started to snow. The snow itself got heavier and heavier, and soon it became so heavy as if there was someone pouring a bag full of salt from the sky.''

''Winking at the snowflakes, Maria looked at the snow with a sad smile. She immediately opened an umbrella she prepared for some time and lend it to Matt in order to protect him from the radiation snow.'' ''Matt shook his head. Despite being happy that she referred him with his first name, Matt was mildly worried about Maria, since he afraid that she would catch cold judging by her current outfit.''
 * Teresa_Linares.jpgMatt: Thank you, this is so kind of you.
 * Maria: My pleasure. Oh, Matt, this is wonderful... if this place was not affected by radiations. The snow is not this heavy in your country, right?

''At this time, Maria was dressing an extravagant white and blue dress with a pair of long, armored heeled boots. However, Matt soon relieved since he rememeber that Maria would not be affected by coldness at all.'' Maria nodded and her face turned serious once again.
 * Matt: No, there is not. 
 * Maria: Neither is mine. By the way, Matt, judging by the previous invasion, we have now comfirmed that Melancholia was controlled by Michael, who has possibly still hiding within the city of Vatican.
 * Matt: Hmm, and therefore... we now have two targets, with Melancholia as the first priority. She might launch another attack, and I do not know what she was currently planning.

''Maria put her hand on her chin and closed her eyes, thinking. Then, she opened her eyes once again.'' Matt suddenly widened his eyes as he heard about the leader of Mafusa Gang. Much to Matt's surprise and confusion, Maria shook her head unexpectedly. ''Maria immediately grabbed her wrist as her body started to trembling. She shut her eyes and started to walk backward.'' ''Maria then bit her lips as she started to opened her eyes. Just at this time, Matt realized just how horrible this bad memory meant for Maria.'' ''​Matt was shocked by what Maria had said. Maria was looking at the sky and Matt saw there were tears rolling in her eyes.''
 * Maria: I think not. I believe there are not just one first priority. I heard Mafusa Gang had launched several attacks across the globe, and I think one day I am going to dig out their true leader.
 * Matt: The leader of Mafusa Gang? You, uh, you mean... Sasha, right?
 * 54076397_p0.jpgMaria: No, it's wrong. I was talking about the gang's true leader, not its seemly leader.
 * Matt: What?
 * Maria: I was once a Mafusa Gang member, but I was coerced. I did not want to do so, and yet I wanted to prove my worth. I still remember the day I met Aki Honda, almost 4 years ago, when I was 9. I felt disgusted when I saw Aki's face, but later when I had a nightmare, I felt that Aki's face was not that terrible comparing to  her  face.
 * 59179936_p0.jpgMaria: I remember her face when she first take her glance at me. It was a lady with long black hair and a monstrous crimson arm. Even till this day, I remembered what she had done. She captured me, Aki and Tomoo into a realm that was just like the Hell in Inferno written by Dante. She appeared in front of Aki and spoke to her, "Our deal is now ended. Your soul belongs to me." Then... that happened. She... ripped out the heart of Aki, and soon she did the same to Tomoo...
 * DW_GANG_LOGO_WAX_MOCK_A_grande.pngMaria: Can you believe it? Blood shedded everywhere. She is a brute, the worst savage I have ever seen. I was not sad. I was scared. Then, after that, she turned to me and said, "See? Murder is easy. That is the way you get rid of your ignorant puppets, just like walking on a sandy beach." After that, ignoring my screaming, she went right towards me, trying to rip my heart...

Maria clenched her fist tightly before hitting her thigh with it, trying to held back her feelings. ''Maria then turned back to Matt, who looked at her with shock. Matt was shocked when he heard Maria saying all this, and he widened his eyes with horror. Maria sensed this and looked at Matt worryingly.''
 * Maria: Some memories will one day be revived.
 * Maria: Matt? Matt?

However, he soon calmed himself down and sighed at Maria. ​Matt returned his jovial and playful attitude and he start comfort Maria. Maria chuckled bitterly.
 * Matt: Oh, um, I am fine.
 * Maria: No, you are not. I see you sweating.
 * Matt: I am sweating because I am nervous. I am nervous, because you told me all those.
 * Maria: .....
 * Matt: Anyway, his is just a dream. Don't be so cynical. Dream is often opposite to the reality. Sometimes you had an nightmare that you lost your left eye does not mean you will really lose your left eye.
 * Maria: Yeah, but you might lose your  right eye. That's not impossible. Dreams are opposite to the reality. Is that what you said?

Matt smiled as well but soon he turned serious once again. ''Maria turned back and smiled sweetly to Matt. Her face was turning pinkish.'' Just then, Maria gave a sudden kiss on Matt's cheek, as his expression suddenly turned into a surprised face.
 * Matt: However, Maria, I believe you. I know it sounds mad, but... If there is really someone, or something, behind Aki, Tomoo and Sasha's actions, I will find him or her. If that mysterious woman do exists, I will help you to kill her. I won't let her take your heart away.
 * I-Love_U1.jpgMaria: Thank you.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Maria: Happy Valentine's Day to you... even if there is still one month. '

''Matt widened up his gaze and he looked at Maria with a gentle smile. He blushed with a little bit of embarassment.'' ''Matt then turned back and walked with Maria on the snowy street. Maria looked at Matt's face and noticed there was something wrong.''
 * Matt: Huh, and Happy Valentine's Day to you, and at least I know I am not alone anymore.
 * Maria: (think) * Is there any bad memories in his head? Maybe it's just me...*

''At this time, Matt was thinking about a twisted face he saw when he was a child. His parents were killed in front of him. Some monstrous figures appeared in front of him, and the leader of those monsters tried to captured him. He did not remember the leader's face, but he remembered the leader's name...''



<p style="text-align:center;"> ''- Matt: (think) * Vykos... *''



''Just then, Maria immediately looked at the sky and her eyes narrowed. Then, she turned and spoke to Matt.'' ''​Maria nodded and then she raised her staff. Just one day ago, Patariarch Kranse made Maria a new staff and would help her to turn into anything natural she wanted, and Maria chose to use it to turn into light, fire, magma or hot air - anything with high tempreture.'' ''Matt slowly looked at a place behind Maria... before touching her shoulders. Maria immediately stopped with a blush.''
 * Maria: Even so, the time is running out, Matt. Despite there were no signs of large conflicts coming out after Aldegyr Kingdom's destruction, we must prepare ourselves for the worst. There might be other strange people - other than Kanon Rihavein - who tried to endanger us and dismantle the world.
 * Matt: Yes, that's true.
 * Maria: Therefore, when the proletariats was oppressed by elitists, when the citizens was pressed by warmongers, they shall arise and fight against those unfair rules! Even a nest of ant shall make a dam leaked! Even a part of iceberg out of ocean brought down a ship! Even...
 * Matt: Ahem, sorry to interrupt but...

''Maria immediately turned back and widened her eyes. She saw a blonde girl dressed up as a magician, with pink dress and hat. Maria immediately gasped as the girl looked at her before showing some Chinese Kung Fu styles in front of them.''
 * Berseria-7.jpgMaria: Oh, I am sorry.
 * Matt: That's okay. I just wanna ask about the strange people you were talking about. Are they wore strange cloth and looked like some cute and small children?
 * Maria: Maybe, but how did you draw that conclusion?
 * Matt: Because of the girl behind you.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Girl: Stand there immediately! '

''The smiling strange girl's presence immediately made Matt and Maria confused, surprised and curious. Seeing the girl sparkled in her eyes, Matt and Maria looked at each other and immediately asked question one by one.'' "......?!"
 * Matt: Who are you?
 * Maria: What do you want?
 * Matt: WHERE DO YOU LIVE?

All of a sudden, an absurd and strange silence immediately surrounded the area and made both Maria and the girl confused. Matt, however, ignored Maria and continued to ask some more irrevelant questions to the girl, much to the mysterious girl's chargin and Maria's dismay. The girl was dismayed and a large drop of sweat came down from her forehead...
 * Maria: ......
 * Girl: ......
 * Maria: Matt... is that question really necessary?
 * Matt: Where do you live? How many people are there in your family? Is there any insurance for yourselves?

''Feeling dismayed as well, Maria covered her face with her palm. She was now helping two boys, one was too jovial and another was too cynic.'' ''The girl was even more distressed and finally, she spoke out another question... out of sheer distress.''
 * Maria: Oh, dear...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Girl: Are you two some takers of the population census? '

Feeling bored, Maria immediately turned away from the girl and sighed. Just as the two people were about to leave, the mysteriously behaved girl immediately blocked their way and swayed her arms. ''Maria sighed helplessly since she don't think she was interested in it. ​Hearing this, Matt immediately went forward with curiousity and widened her eyes.''
 * Maria: Let's go, Matt. There are always some abonormal and weird people in these days, and we came across one of them.
 * Matt: Oh... agreed.
 * Girl: Wait a minute, I ain't finish yet! I have a Chinese "poem" for both of you and I want to see if you can understand! It was a request, and if you understand it and do what I say, I will believe what you said!
 * Matt: Come on, try us!
 * Maria: Matt?
 * Girl: Very well, very well, now listen...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Girl: 此路是我开，此树是我栽，要想过此路，留下买路财. '

<p style="text-align:center;"> (Roughly translation: This road belongs to me. Those trees were planted by me. If you want to pass this road, then pay me money to get pass.) 

With a cryptic smile, Matt had already knew about this - This is a common line for Chinese fictional TV series and it was mostly (if not always) spoken by robbers.

''Then, he pretended to be silly and smiled to the girl... and pretended to mistook the Chinese word "财" (pinyin: cái; means "money") into “柴” (pinyin: chái; means "firewood") since those two words pronouced similarly.'' ''​Maria looked at Matt and could not believe her ears... She could not imagine Matt would pay to a girl who claimed herself as a robber... and Maria shrgged her shoulder with a hard smile.''
 * Matt: Miss, you were talking about "买路柴" (pay firewood to get pass), am I right?
 * Girl: Indeed, I said "买路财" (pay money to get pass)!
 * 4ImCbK6t42OTf1r4SlcG88.jpgMaria: (think) * There is an old saying in China, "Riches can even order a demon to push the millstone." (simplified Chinese: 有钱能使鬼推磨) Riches are always very much alike... *

However, much to Maria's and the strange girl's shock and surprise, Matt picked up a broken branch and waved at her. ''Shocked, the girl immediately covered her cheeks with her hands, and her eyes widened like two large marbles. She immediately slipped and fell her head on a pile of snow.'' ''The girl immediately stood up and angrily glared at Matt, but Matt merely stared at her. He threw away the branch and stopped behaved like a child.'' ''​Matt's words were like endless tidal waves and made the girl shocked and speechless. Then, the girl soon waved her hand and called Matt to stop.'' ''Maria was already speechless as she stood beside Matt and the girl arguing. However, Maria immediately looked at the girl and narrowed her eyes.'' ''All of a sudden, Matt turned back to Maria and grinned endearing at her. He even rubbed his head like a monkey.'' Maria stared at Matt with some mild annoyance and then she returned to face the mysterious girl. Enraged due to her fiery temper, Maria immediately drew her golden sword and bellowed at the strange girl, much to the latter's shock.
 * Matt: Here, "买路柴", firewood for the road!
 * Girl & Maria: !!!
 * GHQ_logojkl.jpgGirl: No, you don't understand! I said "财", and "财" means wealth! It's money, not this piece of wasted firewood in your hand!
 * Matt: Turns out you can describe it in English. If you can speak so many language, why are you here, being a robber? I don't think this is correct. You can start an awfully new life even if the KnightWalker Family is...
 * Girl: Stop! Stop it! 
 * QWASDEE23333.pngMaria: Wait a minute, Matt! I sensed her magic power... She is neither a robber or a thief! She is a magician like me!
 * Matt: In fact, I already knew that...
 * Maria: Oh, really?
 * Matt: Robbers these days won't speak that so-called "poem" for themselves, right? Otherwise, she was an amateur robber.
 * Maria: Anyway, who are you? What do you want from us?
 * Maria: If you are here trying to take lives of my friends, you KnightWalker waste, then leave us alone or I will chop you in pieces! If you are not our enemy, then show your true identity. WHO ARE YOU?!

Maria's menacing word immediately made the girl shocked and she covered her cheek once again. But then, the girl immediately changed into another more serious expression and looked at Maria. ''Maria heard this and widened her eyes in surprise, and she and Matt looked at each other with surprise. Then, they both asked the mysterious girl named Magilou who smiled at them, more friendly this time.'' The girl named Magilou continued to smile at them as Maria slowly withdrew her fiery sword.
 * Girl: AHH! MY SELF-MADE SHOW WAS EXPOSED! I FEEL SO ASHAMED THAT I AM GONNA HANG MYSELF!!!
 * Girl: Ha, as if!
 * Maria: Oh?
 * C43lDa0WQAAyHwB.pngGirl: I only want to make sure that you are not allies of the KnightWalker Family. Now, I assume that you are an enemy of the KnightWalkers as well, right? I am Magilou, and I apologize for my offensive behavior before.
 * Matt & Maria: Wait, you don't work for them?

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Magilou: No, I work for destroying them. '

Maria then opened her eyes wider when she was surprised by Magilou's words. ''Magilou replied with a lazy smile as she winked to Maria. Then, slowly, her smile faded into a sadder look.'' ''Maria and Matt were both surprised by Magilou's words. It was apparent that even someone who was as cheerful as her would had a sad backstory.'' They spoke nothing and let her continue.
 * Maria: Who exactly are you?
 * [[File:WILLIAM-BRANHAM-DESTRUCTION-OF-AMERICA-RUSSIAN-INVASION-AMERICAS-LAST-DAYS-OBAMA-NEW-YORK-DESTRUCTION-NUKE-FALL.jpg|thumb|340px]]Magilou: Well, that's a long story. I was born in Paris, but in fact I am a Brazilian-Russian. My parents were killed when I was very young, and the murderers were the KnightWalker Family troops. They were executing a termination operation.

"......!!" ''Maria felt that her chest had a sudden pain when she heard the word "Cyborg". Cyborgs of the KnightWalker Family serve as nothing but expandable pawns whose fate would be worse than death, even with their so-called immortality. Maria was once altered into a Cyborg, and it was one of her worst nightmares she always sought to get rid of. Magilou noticed this and immediately showed concern.'' Magilou then sighed before she continued.
 * Uryuu.Ryuunosuke.full.1075870.jpgMagilou: The termination operation was sought to decrease the population in Paris by cutting the poor population in half. Fortunately, I joined a white witch cult who had raised me and I trained myself with magic in order to destroy the KnightWalker Family... and their magi-tech heregy... Cyborgs...
 * Magilou: What's the matter?
 * Maria: Go on... please. I am fine.
 * Magilou: However, one day, everything changed when that dreadful Ryuunosuke Uryuu came here with his army... and slaughtered many of my companions. It was more than six years ago. He then saw me, and I knew my turn had come. I once thought he was cruel and malicious, but he did not show any of those in front of me, much to my surprise. He seemed kind... and gentle... He felt sorry for me and praised my magic skills. He offered me a job in the KnightWalker Family and promised that he won't make me a Cyborg.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Magilou: In order to live, I had to agree. '

Magilou then sighed as she covered her face. ''Matt and Maria were both shocked and they blinked their eyes. For days, they had heard the news about Aldegyr Kingdom's destruction and the death of its ruler, Kanon Rihavein.'' ​Maria and Matt then noticed that Magilou was trying to held back her feelings, and they were feeling sorry to hear her words. Then, Magilou raised her head and looked at the two people in front of her. Maria then shrugged her shoulders when she realized which side did Magilou was on. Maria then crossed her arm in sheer confidence, which made Magilou amazed. Maria smiled and nodded before she curtseyed in front of Magilou graciously. ''Magilou was even more confused and then she walked forward to Maria, getting closer to her. Magilou then found out that the top of her head could only reached Maria's chin, so she tiptoed make herself seemed taller.'' Maria tried to answer, but before she could, Matt immediately introduce Maria for her.
 * Magilou: Afterwards, I became a magician under the command of the Horseman of John as well as a medic. However, I was stuck inside their building for years and was not aware of those atrocities. They forbided me to see it. It was lasted for years until recently, Aldegyr Kingdom was destroyed...
 * Maria: You mean, it gave you a chance to leave the building that trapped you for years?
 * [[File:Apocalypse-technics-fire-fantasy-apocalyptic-destruction-ruins-scifi-robot-battle-wallpaper-1.jpg|thumb|340px]]Magilou: Yes, since nearly all of the Cyborgs were sent to the boarder to prevent furtuer threats, I managed to have a chance and snuck out of the building itself. I could not believe what I saw...
 * Magilou: There were too much pain, you know, too much. I saw corpses in the alley, crying poors on the streets, running rats on the urban aeras with Paris... and then I saw through the lies. The world was not under the protection but destruction. All my life, I thought I was fighting against the enemies that were trying to harm the world, but then I came to realize the entire truth... the truth I called deception. The enemy of mine is the KnightWalker Family.
 * Magilou: Then, I used my magic skills to see what happened during these last 6 years, and I saw everything, From then on, I went on a journey around the entire world and tried to destroy the KnightWalker Family secretly. I came across you two only because I need to make sure whethere you are my friends or foes.
 * Teresa_(Concept).jpgMaria: Oh, I am sorry for your experience, but don't worry. Me and this friend of mine - among many others - will help everyone like you to save mankind from the KnightWalker Family.
 * Magilou: Really? You two are my friends?
 * Maria: Yes, we are.
 * Magilou: What is your name?

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Matt: Her name is Maria Arzonia, the Angel of Flame, the Redeemed One, La Donna, the Fire of God, the Seraph, the Vermillion Peacock, the Phoenix, all in one! '

''Maria smiled to Matt in mild embarrasement, and then she looked at Magilou. Magilou went silent and her eyes widened once again... and then she covered her cheek for the third time, and this time she squeezed her face harder.'' Magilou was so shocked and amazed that it almost made her speechless.
 * 4ImCbK6t42OTf1r4SlcG88.jpgMaria: Hey... I don't have that many aliases...
 * Magilou: AHHHH!?

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Magilou: M-M-Maria Arzonia?! '

''Maria blinked her eyes as she looked at Magilou with some confusion in her eyes. Then, Magilou stopped pressing her cheeks and laughed happily.'' ''After some time of silence, Maria then blushed as she covered her chin with her gloved hand. One second later, she immediately regained her composure.'' ''Magilou then acted less playfull and stopped tiptoed in front of Maria. Then, she noticed Matt.'' With a sweet smile, Maria then looked at Matt as she was ready to introduce him to Magilou. As am act to show friendly attitude, Matt then bowed in front of Magilou like a total gentleman before shaking her hand.
 * Maria: Come on, Magilou... My name is just a simple name.
 * Magilou: But it is not an ordinary name. I had knew about what you did to wipe out those dreadful brothers of yours as well as those lunatic terrorists. You also overcame the control of Eckidina KnightWalker! I am your biggest fan! Finally, I saw a living Maria Arzonia!
 * Maria: That's... very sweet of you...
 * Magilou: Then, who is that?
 * Maria: Well, don't worry, don't worry. His name is Matt Butcher. He is my friend.
 * Matt: Nice to meet you, Magilou.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Maria: (narrator) That is how we met our new friend... who is like a lovely little pixie. o(^_^)o'

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> 300 meters away

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

''A tall woman wearing green cloth and a dark green hood was holding a bucket full of red roses on her elbow. She looked at Carl and Noelle while standing not far from them. At this time, Carl and Noelle were walking in the town square and looking at the beautiful snow.'' ''The woman in green walked towards the two people closer. She did not talk for a while before she repeated the question.'' Carl immediately went to the woman, but Noelle walked towards her with a smile, blocking Carl's way. The woman shrugged her shoulders. Carl looked at Noelle with a face full of doubt. The woman suddenly spoke something that immediately drew Carl's attention. ''The word had drew both Noelle and Carl's curiousity, and they turned back in surprise. Carl began to suspect that the woman was another enemy of his.'' ''The woman smiled. Carl did not saw her back which plenty of clover formed a long braid behind her neck. The woman was also wearing a lemon yellow scarf and emerald green cape.'' Hearing this, Noelle immediately took a 10-dollar note from her pocket and gave it to the woman. ''​Noelle handed the note to the woman and the woman gave the flower to Carl. However, while receiving the rose, Carl accidentally got his finger sliced by the thorn.''
 * Woman: Would this gentleman like to buy your lady a flower?
 * Noelle: There is a lady selling flowers.
 * Woman: Would this gentleman like to buy your lady a flower? It is only ten dollars.
 * Noelle: Madam, it is quite unusual to see someone selling roses in the day of war.
 * Woman: As you know, love is something that shall conquer the fear, and in a time like this, we need to love each other so that we can unite. Beside, it's Valentine's Day, you know.
 * Carl: Do you trust this woman? I suspect that she is much more than a saleswoman.
 * Woman: Buy yourself a blossom of rose and I will tell you something you need to know. It is a secret... TO HELP YOU TO AVENGE YOUR FATHER AND STOP MICHAEL LANGDON IN THE PAST, MR. CARL ROBINSON.
 * Carl: Who are you? What secret? How do you know my name?
 * Woman: I will tell you only if you buy rose from me. Life is too short for regrets, Carl.
 * 201703171211.pngNoelle: I will pay for it.
 * Carl: Aw!

The woman immediately panicked. ​Carl handed the rose to Noelle.
 * Poison_Ivy_0007.jpg: Oh, I am sorry. Those thorns...
 * Carl: Ah, I am all right, ma'am. Now...
 * Carl: Tell us the secrets you know.

However, instead of telling them immediately, the woman then whispered to the two. ''Carl and Noelle looked at each other, and Noelle had to shrugged her shoulder, showing her helplessness. Then, Carl nodded to the woman in green. After that, they followed the mysterious woman into the alley.'' ''The woman took off her hood and revealed a face which was pale green. Her lips were viridian in its color as if they were made of emerald.'' Carl was surprised to see the woman and his eyes widened in surprise. ''Poison Ivy shook her head. She had realized that her presence had made Carl alarmed. Noelle probably had the same feelings as well.'' Carl sniffed in scorn. Poison Ivy smiled gently.
 * Woman: Follow me to this nearby alley and I will tell you.
 * Woman: Good, coast is clear. Now, allow me to introduce myself.
 * Woman: I am Pamela Lillian Isley, more commonly known as Poison Ivy. Pleasure to meet you.
 * Carl: You are Poison Ivy? One of Gotham's most notorious criminals?
 * Ivy: In an era of this, you should know who the real criminal is. The KnightWalker Family itself is the camp of true monsters itself, and I am working to destroy them.
 * Carl: I am no longer interested in fighting against the KnightWalker Family since I have problems trusting anyone unless they are so close to me. Not even the Red Haired Demon will gain my trust. Anyway, what is the secret you want to share?
 * PoisonIvyLongHalloween3.pngPoison Ivy: I went back to the past some time ago, with a magic book I accidentally received.

''Hearing this, Carl's eyes widened in shock. He was highly doubted that it was the true thing.'' Hearing the news, Carl was immediately shocked and walked towards Ivy, almost shouting at her in anxious. Then, biting his lips, Carl immediately clenched his right fist and looked at it. ​With her smile fade, Ivy asked Carl like giving him a test. Poison Ivy blinked to Carl and watched him silently. ​Before Poison Ivy could finish, Carl immediately bellowed at her. ''Noelle yelled at Carl and she could not believe her ears. After all those efforts to break Carl out of prison, he only cared about revenge.''
 * Carl: Impossible, no one can travel back in time.
 * Poison Ivy: I do, Carl. I could not believe it was true as well. However, here is the thing. The person named Pandora whom you hated so much was right inside Sleepy Hollow, in 2013.
 * Carl: Where is the book?
 * Poison Ivy: Currently in the possession of Pope Michael Langdon, I suppose, but I do not know whether it was inside Vatican or not.
 * Carl: That is the thing I always desired, and I will go back to the past soon after this nightmare caused by the KnightWalker Family was over.
 * Poison Ivy: You mean you want to prevent your own father's death after you defeat the KnightWalkers, am I right?
 * Carl: Exactly, and I will find the true motive within Pandora's actions. I will end this horror forever.
 * Trinity_blood_alessandro_xviii_by_enessakjonig-d77n4f4.jpgPoison Ivy: You know, I tried to make a difference in the past, but turns out it never went well as I thought. I am telling you information about the book is that when you got it, it might weaken the forces of Catholic Church, prompting us to defeat Michael. Your vengeance is the secondary stuff...
 * Carl: NO! THIS IS THE FIRST PRIORITY, BUT SINCE I AM STUCK BY THE ENTIRE KNIGHTWALKER FAMILY, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT FIGHTING AGAINST THEM!
 * Noelle: Carl!

Despite Carl's objection, Ivy only looked at him without being offended.
 * Poison Ivy: Suit yourself, but please do not be so selfish. So many people need your help, and so you should choose wisely... and by the way, that book's name is "The Grand Grimoire". This is all I know.

Noelle's eyes widened in great surprise, and her expression did not escape from Ivy's eye. ​Suddenly, Noelle started snapping at Ivy. ​Noelle thought for a moment since she don't know if she could count on someone like Poison Ivy, but eventually she nodded
 * Poison Ivy: You are right. I will tell you more things - Your pope, Michael Langdon, is the real assassin that stole the Grand Grimoire.
 * Poison_Ivy-0.jpgNoelle: What are you talking about?
 * Poison Ivy: If you do not believe me, suit yourself, but I will help you if necessary.
 * Noelle: Very well.

While Ivy was conversing with Noelle, Carl only bit his lips and closed his eyes, thinking of his father, but eventually he had to stop. ''Hearing this, ​Ivy suddenly and bluntly smiled as if she had discovered an explosive news like seeing a living alien. Then, looking at the two carefully, she made a joke as a comic relief.'' Hearing Ivy's playful question, ​Noelle proudly nodded and smiled, but Carl merely shook his head. Hearing this, ​Noelle immediately turned to Carl with a look full of confusion. ​Carl immediately blushed.
 * 548px-0787.jpgCarl: Okay, fine, we trust you. I will deal with Eckidina KnightWalker first before I go back in time to avenge my dad. Is that what you suggest me to do?
 * Poison Ivy: Yes...
 * Noelle: All right, Carl, let us go back to the Patriarch to tell him that we have a great, great discovery! Then, we will head back to our house.
 * Poison Ivy: Oh, my God, excuse me but... You two are really couples now?
 * Noelle: Yes.
 * Carl: No.
 * Noelle: I thought we are.
 * Carl: ... I am not doing this right now! We must hurry ourselves to the Patariarch!

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> Sonia Nevermind's Throne Room

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

​"......" "......" "......" "......"
 * Reporter: [The peace treaty between the factions of KnightWalker Alliance and Stablization Union was signed after the destruction of Aldegyr Kingdom. For now, the two factions were in truce and no great confliction occured till now. Nearly the entire KnightWalker Alliance ceased fire, but the army from Catholic Church seemed still active. Pope Michael revealed that it was well-prepared and would be sent out to find a particular criminal named Carl Robinson.]
 * Sonia: Oh, that's awful... Michael is still on his move?
 * Sonia_nevermind_render_by_rosalynnbelle-d7xar0u.pngter: [Even so, there were attacks coming from Mafusa Gang that started to occur once again and it was apparent that their attack were more apparent. Neither Pope Michael or Eckidina KnightWalker had comment about this. It was apparent that the underworld had a new leader.]
 * Sonia: That is none of my buisness.
 * Reporter: [A few days ago, some people saw an angelic figure who seemed to fight alongside Chronos Empire's agents. The angel figure is suspected to be the late Maria Arzonia, formerly a wanted criminal of the Catholic Church until her apparent demise. Even so, there were no citizens harmed by this mysterious figure who looked like an angel.]
 * Sonia: Maria?
 * Reporter: [Reports indicated that Kyouko Kirigiri, the renowned Ultimate Detective, was now leaving Europe and headed towards East. Few days ago, Ms. Kyouko had stopped a terrorist attack committed by Terra of the Left as well as the recently public killer, Shinya Banba, who killed publically. Kyouko did not comment on this and we cannot find her.]
 * [[File:Kirigiri_kyouko_and_naegi_makoto_danJganronpa_and_danganronpa_3_drawn_by_katorius_sample-b45f5e7c9cc39a6cfc16e488aa240a30.jpg|thumb|340px]]Sonia: Kyouko-san...
 * Reporter: [The escaped prisoner of the Church, Carl Robinson, was still missing. Pope Michael put out a bounty to capture the boy, whom he claimed to have demon's blood. Princess Carissa of England, who was in Vatican had sent her army to capture Carl as well. Recently, there are rumors which said that the Patriarch of Russian---]
 * Sonia: ......

Slowly closing the radio, Sonia Nevermind lowered her head when she was hearing about the news concered with Maria Arzonia, Michael Langdon and a name she had just know - Carl Robinson. ''Sonia then thought about Maria. Somehow, she was glad to hear that Maria returned back to the place.''
 * QWASDEE23475.pngSonia: If anyone could help me to take down that hyporcrite Michael in a time like this, it must be them. I am sure Maria will destroy that sea monster if she wants, and then one day, I will bury her.
 * Sonia: I went to Sleepy Hollow and saw Sister Mary Eunice, who returned back as a holy spirit, and maybe Maria is the same...

''Sonia wanted to say sorry to Maria. She knew it was her who fell under Michael's manipulation and gave Arzonia Brothers their jobs, prompting Maria to become a pawn of her own brothers. She was also furious to Michael when she realized that Michael burned down Maria and Eckidina turned her into a Cyborg against her will...''



''Anyway, it was Michael Langdon's fault. In fact, Michael killed Maria and almost killed Kyouko in process. Sonia desired to meet them again. The fight alongside the Team Witness had somehow reduced the despair inside her heart.'' ''However, Sonia could not do it. She had a mission on her. It was given by her master, The Fallen's Essence, just a few days ago, to make her construct a robotic droid and revive someone... that would spread bioterrorism.'' ''Sonia had no choice but obeying her master, and in fact, the Fallen was the one who "helped" her when her birth parents were killed, but Sonia knew quite well about the truth. Even so, in order to protect Kyouko, she had no choice.''

''Even so, Sonia was confident about Kyouko. In fact, she had sent Kyouko about the locations of LN-666 Project, and Kyouko must have heading towards the place as well.''

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Sonia: Kyouko... Maria Arzonia... How interesting... '

Just then, the telephone itself ran beside Sonia as she was ready to set out in order to check for the new droid body her master wanted her to build. Sonia went to answer the phone.
 * Sonia: Hmm?
 * Sonia: Who is this?

Then, Sonia heard a voice that she was nearly to the point of hanging the phone herself.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Melancholia: It is Melancholia, the Mother Superior.

''Sonia was angry. She did not met the woman in person, but when Gundham Tanaka went back from the deepwater base, he informed Sonia many things, including a woman named Melancholia who was serving Michael Langdon.'' Sonia did not know about what purpose Melancholia had when she made this call, but she was not please. Melancholia chuckled bitterly.
 * Vol15alessandromanga.jpgMelancholia: [Is Princess Sonia Nevermind there?]
 * Sonia: This is her.
 * Sonia: I know who you are. You are the loyal dog of Michael Langdon. I am not afraid of your threat, and even though I cannot leave my position, I will one day destroy your monster if I had a chance.
 * Melancholia: [Hmmhahahahaha... I'm afraid you can't. It is almost finished. After two weeks with no accidents, this monster is about to get out of cage itself.]
 * Sonia: What?

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Melancholia: Only when I want to, so take it easy.

Enraged and full of scorn, Sonia scoffed when she heard Melancholia to make her "take it easy." Melancholia seemed pleased with Sonia and chuckled darkly once again. ''Sonia immediately widened her eyes in shock and yelled in her phone. She almost lost her composure.'' ''Melancholia chuckled continuously with glee. Sonia could felt that herself was been mocked by this malicious dark pixie all the time.''
 * Sonia: Ha, do I care? You are the people who brought me into this, you and your false pope. I tell you this, Melacholia, whoever you are... Stay away from Kyouko Kirigiri.
 * Melancholia: [Sonia Nevermind, Kyouko Kirigiri is not the problem, but Carl Robinson is. Anyway... the pope recently had found out that you were helping some sort of entity to construct a droid, and that entity is the same person who destroyed Aldegyr Kingdom a few days ago.]
 * Sonia: HOW SHOULD HE KNOW? I THOUGHT THE PROJECT WAS KEPT SECRET!
 * Melancholia: [He had became much, much stronger after consuming the chaos the KnightWalkers raged for this week, and the conflict within the Aldegyr Kingdom had strenghten his nigh-omnipotence. If he wants to know what you are doing, he could see a vision. As long as the vision made him worried, he will take concern on it. Now, he wants me to ask you about that robot. What is that?]

Sonia clenched her fists in anger and refused to answer. Hearing this, Melancholia stopped chuckling and her words soon became more and more menacing. ''Sonia was shocked and speechless. She knew what Michael was preparing in his store after being informed by Tanaka, and she realized that if that thing hatched, it would be catastrophic.'' After some time of silence when Sonia said her question, Melancholia's words then seemed softer.
 * Sonia: What if I refuse to answer? I know what you did, Melancholia. I listened to radio every day. You had helped Michael to put an innoncent child like Esther Blanchett on the Spanish throne, and you two use her like your puppet. In order to find Carl Robinson, you spent days killing and terrorizing people. I won't say it would be done so easily.
 * Melancholia: [You will know what happened if you refused. I am prepared to die anyway. In fact, since me and Michael were both creators of FOLIE. My death will trigger the monster's hatching. Didn't Gundham Tanaka told you that when he came back from my base?]
 * Sonia: Are you threatening me, again?
 * Melancholia: [Relax, Sonia. I haven't touch a single hair of your adorable little detective, even if I had recently put a great number of evil demons under my thumbs, haha. If you really don't want to tell us, then I have no choice but asking you if you could do me a favor...]

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Melancolia: ... to destroy Maria Arzonia for me. '

''Melancholia's words immediately made Sonia's eyes widened up. Melancholia had comfirmed what Sonia was actually doubting.'' Maria Arzonia returned back from the dead. ''Sonia then had an illusion that she saw a menacing and terrifying red eye that wept blood in front of her. It was not Maria's eye, though. Sonia felt that it was Melancholia's eyes, looking at her with menace.''
 * Sonia: Maria Arzonia?

Sonia's eyes widened even more when she heard Melancholia's words. However, Sonia bit her lips and bellowed at Melancholia, finally fed up. ''Hearing this, Melancholia could hardly control her temper anymore. She was trying to control her own composure during her talk, but when Sonia mocked her, she could not bear it anymore.'' Sonia nodded confidently. Melancholia's words became more and more menacing than before, and Sonia knew that this dark fairy was losing her temper. Sonia did not show Melancholia her weaker side, either. ''Sonia slammed the phone in anger and rage. Then, she left her room promptly.''
 * Melancholia: [This is your final chance, Sonia. If you dare to refuse, then don't blame me for my sheer brutality. If you one day got into trouble, the Church will not interfere.]
 * Melancholia: [Recently, Maria Arzonia returned back as a holy spirit, and since you once met Sister Mary Eunice, you may know how to deal with a holy spirit. You will lure her into our trap. Me and Princess Carissa will be ready to put her inside a trap that was set up all along. If you helped me with that, I will spare Novosic Kingdom definitely if FOLIE is activated. It obeys my instructions if it was alive, and if I or Michael died, it would attack anthing in its sight mindlessly. What is that good for?]
 * Joan.Alter.full.2046842.jpgSonia: Melancholia, you did achieve one thing that Michael did not; you made me bored.
 * Melancholia: [So that is a no?]
 * Sonia: Uh-huh, that is a no, I won't!
 * Melancholia: [You...]
 * Melancholia: [Fine, I gave you a chance, Sonia, but you pathetically throw it away! Now, I am done with you. If you are in trouble, don't you ever, ever ask for my help! You are gonna regret this!]
 * Sonia: I never ever regret anything, Melancholia! Good night!

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

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> New Russian Resistance HQ

<p style="text-align:center;"> 2 hours later

''After the previous attack coming from Melancholia, the Patriarch Krans and transferred the HQ of the Russian Resistance to Kirv, in order to catch up with the comrades in the front line. At this time, the young Patriarch was looking at the map of Eurasia before the door slightly opened.'' ''The Patriarch then looked at the people who entered his room. It was Maria Arzonia, Matt Butcher and a young girl he did not know, coming into the room one by one.'' As Patriarch Krans was looking at Magilou, Maria smiled and introduced her to him. ''Patriarch Krans looked at Magilou who was smiling as well. Then, he turned back to look at Maria once again.'' Then, Maria looked at Magilou as the latter coughed and blinked her eyes.
 * 59689577_p0.jpgKrans: You are back. And this is...
 * Maria: This is our new ally, Magilou. She is now roaming around the globe in order to destroy the evil facilities of the KnightWalker Family all around the world. She met us by accident, Your Holiness.
 * Krans: What did she tell us about the KnightWalker Family?
 * Magilou: As far as I know, the scientists within the KnightWalker Family was planning something inside Paris, their major base and the city where Eckidina lived, right after Aldegyr Kingdom was destroyed. I do not know what they were planning, and yet I think it will not be good.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Magilou: By the way, Sonia Nevermind and a woman named Lusamine were in the plans. '

''Maria and Matt were no strangers to Sonia Nevermind, but they did not hear the name Lusamine before. Then, the two turned to Patriarch after looking at each other, astonished.'' The Patriarch seemed to be familiar to this name, since his eyes widened and his face went pale after hearing Lusamine's name. Hearing this, Matt bit his lips and seemed enraged by the information he had just heard. Just as Matt was about to get out, Maria and Magilou were startled and they immediately pulled him back in panic. Matt turned back and looked at the two ladies. ''Suddenly, Matt did not continue as he saw Maria suddenly shut her ears as if she heard some uneasy noise. Matt was kind of worried. He forgot that Maria hated to hear profane language. Then, he saw the Patriarch seemed displeased as well.'' ''Maria took a deep breath and looked at Matt, and she had calmed down. She then looked at Matt seriously.'' ''Before Maria could finished, there was a knock on the glass door. Maria looked at the door and could see Carl and Noelle outside of the door.'' ''Noelle turned back as Maria went to open the door. She was surprised when she saw Carl's face. Then, she smiled.'' Matt turned back and looked at Magilou in surprise. ''​Matt planned to tell Matt, but Magilou stopped him. At this time, Maria had make Noelle and Carl entered the room, but she was confused when she saw Poison Ivy.'' "......" ''Matt soon had a large drop of sweat coming on his forehead as he turned back before he wiped it away. However, Matt had his eyes widened when he saw Poison Ivy.'' Ivy nodded in front of Matt as if it was an honor for her to being recognized by a stranger, but soon she turned serious once more. Carl then widened his eyes with delight.
 * Matt: Lusamine?
 * Maria: Who is Lusamine?
 * Patriarch: Lusamine is the current leader of the Sephirah Gastronomics. She is currently helping the KnightWalker Family to win the war. I do not know what she was planning, and I do not know where she is, either.
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.1378662.jpgMatt: I bet she is in Paris with my own head! Come on, and we shall go there and beat her...
 * Magilou: Hey, hey! What are you doing, Matt? This is suicide!
 * Matt: Listen, although it is the time of truce, it is not really a peace. I bet it is simply a three-month truce at best! Now, I am going to stop the KnightWalker Family in case they start another war. Do you think Eckidina KnightWalker and her F***ING minions would easily give up? I...
 * Elsword_Rose_Pixiv_PIK4_53840511_p0.pngMatt: I am sorry, Maria and the Patriarch. I did not mean it...
 * Maria: Oh, don't worry. I am better now, as long as you don't speak that word.
 * Maria: I know what you are feeling, Matt, but if we strike them hastely, it would be us who restart the war. To achieve this, I guess we need to do it quietly...
 * Maria: Wait, it is Carl.
 * ET55zEn.pngMagilou: Isn't that... Firenza Junior?
 * Matt: Hmm?
 * Matt: You know him?
 * Magilou: Yeah, he is famous now!
 * Matt: No kidding. I am gonna tell him...
 * Hqdefaultibi.jpgMagilou: No need, he don't want to know.
 * Matt: Why is that?
 * Magilou: Firenza Junior, or Carl Robinson, was famous because... ahem, because of the new Pope, who had posted Carl's bounty poster all over those Catholic nations. It was fortunate that there is no posters in Russia for now. He will not be happy that he is now on the most wanted list of the Church.
 * Matt: Oh...
 * Ivy_Reborn.pngMatt: P-Poison Ivy?
 * Poison Ivy: Don't worry, my friends. I mean no harm at all. In fact, I am trying to help you out from this current situation.
 * Carl: Ladies and gentlemen, accoring to Poison Ivy, we may have found the remedy of the current situation. We had just heard from Ivy that Michael Langdon had used the Grand Grimoire by John Dee to make his army of death. Now, in order to stop him and Eckidina, we need to get that book, and I think by using the book, we can be invicible.

''The Patriarch was surprised when he heard the Grand Grimoire. The Grand Grimoire was tightly connected to those recent events that caused the former Pope, Matthai Reese, resigned. It was also highly possible that the book was connected with many evil events happened in Vatican.'' Hearing this, Krans immediately turned to Poison Ivy with a shocked expression. Poison Ivy shrugged her shoulders with an apologetic face.
 * Krans: The Grand Grimoire... As I suspect, Michael has lost his mind.
 * Poison_Ivy_0007.jpgKrans: So, it is true?
 * Poison Ivy: Yes, I swear it.
 * Krans: Why didn't you tell me earlier?

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Poison Ivy: I am afraid that you do not believe the real nature of Michael Langdon is far from a saint. So, I am here to apologize. '

The Patriarch sighed in fraustration as he closed his eyes. Patriarch Krans shook his head.
 * Krans: I hope it is not too late. Since there was a truce, we need to do it quietly. However, at first, we need some people inside the Catholic Church that is very close to Michael.
 * Noelle: I think Cardinal Sforza is quite enough.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Krans: No, I mean people EVEN closer to Michael, people like family to him. '

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

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Krans: For example, Esther Blanchett. '

Most of the people around were all surprised when they heard the name of Esther Blanchett, but only Maria still had her composure. Carl and Matt both turned back to Maria and widened their eyes. ''Matt seemed understand this, but Carl was still not fancy the idea of Maria, apparently. However, Carl had to shrugged his shoulder and turned away.'' ​Maria shook her head in a disapporving manner. ​Matt heard Maria's words and started to think for a while before he looked up to Carl. Reluctantly, Carl bit his lips and snarled.
 * Maria: What is so surprising? I and Cardinal Sfroza suggested the Patriarch to do so, and he immediately agreed.
 * Matt: Maria, you should understand the current situation. Esther was Michael's puppet.
 * [[File:Ara_han_crimson_avenger_elesis_and_yama_raja_elsword_drawn_by_pinb_151de246583fcec6efa56a0630bf2f77.png|thumb|300px]]Maria: Yes, she is, but Michael had manipulated her. I saw no evil inside her, since she was only fell for the lies of Michael and trusted him in every ways. However, recently, Shinya Banba sent an assassin to attack Esther, and I think Michael and/or Melancholia was the mastermind. We need to send her here and when we find evidence to prove Michael's true nature in front of Esther, so that we can help her in time.
 * Carl: I thought you are asking help from Katarina Couteau and her friends.
 * Maria: Of course not. From what I have known, Katarina was training herself for some unknown purpose, but I do not wish to bother her. We need to do those tasks on our own, do you understand?
 * Matt: Maria is right. We do not wish to rise another major conflict, since Aldegyr Kingdom was wiped out and many people were dying and homeless. Letting Katarina into this may make her and her team into a hazardous state. As long as they are safe and sound, we will have nothing to worry about.


 * Carl: Oh, if I were you, I will take care of those assassins myself without any help. I will beat them down almost immediately and I will savor their screaming!

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

''Just as this time, the alarm bell rang violently all of a sudden, catching everyone's attention. Maria's eyes widened up.'' Then, everyone started to prepare for their weapons, and they all rushed out of the building, with Carl as the lead of this team.
 * Maria: There are intruders!

''At this time, Maria suddenly saw Carl's hair turned whiter and his eyes was full of anger and rage. Maria was worried for a while, but she then turned her head as she needed to focus more on the mysterious intruder.''

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Maria: We will do this in a hard way. '

<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Crossover - The Corbin Files - Chapitre Quartre

''That night, the Arzonias started their mission to get revenge. One of their targets was a place formerly owned by the Peace Foundation known as "Warehouse-888". While tying a plastic explosive on a pillar, Maria started to encourage herself.'' ''​After finishing the job, she talked to her brother, Cain, via mobile phone. Cain was outside the building with Robert and start giving her sister orders.'' Maria then lightened the fuse with a match stick she prepared in her pocket. Maria turned right and saw the safe three meters away from her. Maria did not understand that why Cain gave her orders one by one, but she still followed them. '''As Cain was giving orders, Maria had already grabbed out and opened the box. Inside the box, there was a special tool to attach the password lock. Maria attached it to the lock and then she spines the tool to open it. There was a old knife inside the safe, like her brother said.''' ''​At the outside, Cain and Robert giggled like some sort of trolls. Cain kept silence on purpose in order to trick his sister, not caring that the fuse was about to be burned off, resulting the explosion.'' Carefully, Maria held the knife out of the safe and put it inside her bag. ''​Maria then ran towards the air vent and immediately went in, but before she could get inside completely, the bomb exploded and the flames spread everywhere. Maria's right leg was burned and she cried in pain as she struggled to crawl herself inside the air vent.''
 * Maria: Be strong, Maria. Be strong...
 * Maria: Done.
 * Cain: *phone* [Nice, now you must cut yourself a one-foot-and-half long fuse.]
 * Stickybombw_3.jpgMaria: (followed Cain's instruction) OK.
 * Cain: *phone* [Now, push the into the plastic explosive.]
 * Maria: (followed Cain's instruction) Done.
 * Cain: *phone* [Then, you need to light the fuse up. After lighting it, you have one and a half minute to get out of here.]
 * Maria: It's lit!
 * Smawl.(Mangaka).full.2098613.jpgCain: *phone* [Good, but wait, sis, perhaps I FORGOT SOMETHING. I have one more instruction.]
 * Maria: BUT IT'S LIT!
 * Cain: *phone* [Then, you are gonna be quick! Can you see a safe at the right of you?]
 * Maria: (followed Cain's instruction) Yes, I can.
 * Cain: *phone* [Now, go to the safe as quick as you can.]
 * Maria: (followed Cain's instruction) Done.
 * Cain: *phone* [Grab that small box within your bag, the same box given by our enigmatic client, and open it. Use it to open the safe.]
 * Maria: I opened it, and what next?
 * Cain: *phone* [......]
 * Maria: Cain? Cain, where are you? What's going on!? THE TIME IS RUNNING OUT!
 * Cain: *phone* [Just messing with you! Now, there is supposed to be an old knife in the safe. Take it.]
 * Maria: Done.
 * Cain: *phone* [Now... run!]

''Struggling with her injury while putting the fire out, Maria managed to get out of the building as her brothers were waiting beside a large car.  ​The noise of fire alarm could be heard. Maria struggled herself on the car with the blade their client somehow required, and neither of her brothers helped her out. Cain soon drove away their car as fast as he could, leaving the burning warehouse behind them.''
 * Cain: (to Maria) Awesome job, sis. It seemed that you would barely survive if you don't come out fast! (to Cain) It is a wonderful revenge, Robert, don't you think so? MAFUSA GANG STRIKES BACK TODAY, OHHHHH.... HIGH ONE!
 * Cain & Robert: OH, YEAH!!!
 * Maria: Please help... My leg was burned! It was painful!
 * Robert: Ha, ha, ha, feel pain as you should feel, since THERE IS NOTHING MORE CONTAGIOUS THAN PAIN like Eckidina said. Enjoy your pain and get yourself in the car!

The car went towards more place and Madrid would suffer itself through the night of sheer chaos...

<p style="text-align:center;"> Spin-Off - Firenza Junior 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Episode 16.5 - Black Army 

<p style="text-align:center;"> By Officer Candy Apple 

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

MAD - Maria Kills Kanon with Her Speech
<p style="text-align:center;"> A What-If Scenario 

<p style="text-align:center;">' What will happen if Kanon Rihavein (not Heis) argued with Maria Arzonia? '

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> Kanon Rihavein (Angel Form) vs. Maria Arzonia (Angel Form) 

​Maria courtesied in front of Kanon while looking at her with no fear. ''​Kanon sneered at Maria with scorn. She saw Maria being much taller than her, and then she found another place to tease her.'' ​Maria was shocked by this and immediately narrowed her eyes in shock. ​Maria was enraged and shocked by Kanon's attitude that she self-proclaimed herself to be righteous.
 * Origami_SpiritDress.jpgKanon: Is that Maria Arzonia?
 * Maria: This is her. I am here for your sister, La Folia, and I want her released, now.
 * Kanon: I know your name already, Ms. Arzonia. It was an honor to meet you. You proclaimed yourself to be some so-called "Angel of Flame", but why do you raise a worthless army and take part in such a senseless siege?
 * Maria: I came here for the name of justice. How can that be senseless?
 * Kanon: You may grow into 10 feet tall, but you are still a sad kid much younger than me. Anyway, the time has changed and since my sister abandoned her throne, our kingdom needs a kind ruler with benevolence, who shall lead the entire Aldegyr out from war, famine and death!
 * Maria: What?! Executing so many people for defying you and using billions of innoncent women for experiments in your angel power test, so that's it, is that what you called "benevolence"!?
 * Kanon: Those disobedient "children" shall be punished severely!
 * Maria: Children? We are no gods, and we cannot decide life and death on anyone else.
 * Kanon: If you hear my words, maybe you will change your mind and assist me.

​Maria was utterly unconvinced and so she just looked into the eyes of Kanon calmly. ​Kanon coughed before she tried to speak her long, long speech... ​''​Maria was tired to hear Kanon's words, since she found it tideous. However, somehow Maria did not interrupted. Maria then started planning to fight back right after Kanon finished her speech.'' ''As soon as ​Kanon finished her long speech with arrongance and misogynistic words, Maria scoffed and chuckled before she laughed out loudly. Kanon looked at Maria with confusion.'' ​Kanon's eyes widened as Maria started to fight back with her own lips.
 * Maria: Try me.
 * Kanon: From the birth of the world, God created the world with nature, light, water, air and so many elements, but he was also foolish in his only failed work; humans. Are those humans truly worth protecting by you, Maria? I know human beings are very busy, destroying their own life, days after wretched days. I saw human committed their wicked and malevolent atrocities to ruin my world. I am thinking of creating a future utopia where I am the only ruler of this new world, but humans ruined everything...
 * Kanon: ... Are these humans truly worth protecting? Humans are inferior races. I've seen countless deeds committed by the humans since I was born. War, murder, theft. This cycle repeats perpetually. Humans are disgusting. Eventually, they will kill themselves but before that, a TRUE divine being should kill them all, and it's Me. The Angelic Messenger of God, Kanon Rihavein! You are both wise and brave. You burned down your dreadful brothers and I admired that. They are just freakish humans. In fact, I was not suppose to take seriously on you until you became a holy spirit, just because, huh, you were just a human. Now, I, as the ruler of Aldegyr Kingdom, had took several strongest meta-humans in the world as my loyal servants against you and that Red Haired Demon you served. You are just some light from a firefly, and therefore you cannot even compare to moon, not to mention the sun - and I am the sun! If you come here to surrender and point your sword to those rouges that tried to stop me, I will make you as my personal servant if you want! From the ashes of this war, the world shall rest down in peace, and wouldn't it be great to make you have a new chance in your life?
 * Maria: Ha-ha, I once thought the Princess of Aldegyr Kingdom can have her own point in such a long and boring speech in front of our armies, but I never expected that you shall speak words with such insolence!
 * QWWERASD.pngMaria: I have my speech as well, so everyone, please listen carefully. Once the world was created, humans were born under God's grace. During this time, some humans were lost and they started to commit wrong-doings that not even disgraced themselves, but also caused tremendous effects in their nations that shall not be reversed. However, is that why you should hate humans? Humans are not perfect, indeed, and even some of the most influential and respected figures can do wrong things if they lost their way. However, we cannot blame the entire races of humans on those atrocities. Human is a kind of animal that may have their own brutal nature, but what about their good nature and heroic moves?  Humans might be imperfect, but humans are NOT inferior races like you said! If we want to make humanity and the world better, we should look on the bright side on humanity and move on to a brighter future, not just hating humans!

Kanon was furious by Maria's words and she pointed at Maria in blind fury. ​Maria ignored Kanon's menacing words before pointed at her face.
 * Kanon: You, you defend those humans?!...
 * Maria: As for you, Kanon Rihavein, in a time of misery like this, what did you do to help others? No, you did nothing! You want to make me surrender so that I can have a new chance of my life? Well,  YOU CAN HAVE A CHANCE IN YOUR LIFE, you mean, right? I know your current position as a princess. You were born in royalty and had a rich, fancy and prosperous style of life that made you like a spoiled and corrupt wretch. Because of your ignorant rule, your army was filled with nothing but jackals and murderers who sneered the true justice! You are an elitist who lived in a prosperous life yourself while many others were starving out there, and you blamed all of those things on your sister! No wonder why she left you. It was because of people like you who was secretly working with the KnightWalker Family under the pretense neuturality! Aw, neutrality my head...

With tears of blood streaming down her eyes due to this humiliation, ​Kanon was really getting pissed off by Maria's words and so she pointed at Maria. Making a funny face and let her tongue out, ​Maria then calmed herself down before she continued her speech to fight back. ''​Since Kanon was very peitie, barely over 5 feet tall, Maria referred Kanon as "tiny" as a reprisal for Kanon, because Kanon just teased Maria for the latter's tall stature in her speech as "ten feet tall". Maria's words became harsher when she saw Kanon was visibly shocked and humilated.'' ''​Kanon clentched her fists in rage and her head was sweating. It was her turn to become panicked, but Maria still won't stop.''
 * Kanon: Maria Arzonia, you wench! How dare...
 * Maria: Shut up! You shameless Babylonian whore! You don't know what is going on out there. Every people in this world who knew the truth of you desired to tear you apart and feast on your flesh! How dare you speak so much trash in front of us!
 * Maria: Fortunately, humanity won't die out today, since Katarina Couteau and her allies are here trying to take you down! You hate humanity, but in fact you are no angel! You are just a sad, pathetic and... hmm, tiny human like those you hate. You are what you hate.
 * Maria: People like you shall hide themselves into their own shells and creeped like sewer rats! How dare you come here in front of me, calling yourself as some sort of God's will and cursing humans all along? You white-haired wench! You sour brat! When one day you die, how can you face those late kings and queens of Aldegyr Kingdom in your afterlife?!
 * Maria: You pathetic child! You insolent wretch! You wasted your entire life days after wretched day, killing yourself bit by bit, but you never did anything that was kind to your people! You are like a dog who broke its spine, but you are still able to bark in front of me and my allies! However, you can never be able to bite! By the way, you know what?

"......."

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Maria: I have never saw anyone so annoying and shameless like you! Leave now or I will place you inside a padded cell!!! ''

​With a horrible scream, Kanon's eyes turned wholy white and she covered her head, as her scream went across the entire nation and hitting her underling's eardrums. ''​Kanon started to hit her head on a wall beside her, first in a slow rate until it became faster and faster. Then, she fell on the ground, bemused. The Human Purifier inside her head somehow broke apart and she lost immortality as well.'' ''​The meta-human members of Brahman all went towards an unconcious Kanon and they were shocked to discovered that she was already... dead.''
 * 281126.jpgKanon: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
 * Kanon: MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARIA AAAAAARZONIAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
 * Vrinvm.pngGanesha: SOMEONE RETRIEVE OUR PRINCESS!

Maria looked at Brahman with satisfaction. ''Then, the army of Aldegyr Kingdom retreated with Kanon's corpse. With Maria promptly left with her allies as well to assist Katarina and rescue La Folia.''
 * Maria: Tell Eckidina KnightWalker that I am always ready to take her down and have her head! She will one day be punished for her crimes. You all won't prevail. My God shall not allow this!

Act ?6 - Selina Strawberry


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

<p style="text-align:center;"> Melancholia's Office 

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

Melancholia was sitting inside her own office, holding a cup of wine and looking at the gigantic cocoon from her office, and she smiled deviously. She was clearly referring to Carl Robinson and Mary Spencer, and Melancholia rolled her eyes.
 * Melancholia: Yes, yes, that is it... I would better let their darker nature consume them...
 * Melancholia: Hmm, one of the syringes were wasted, and now there was only nine left... What should I do with them...

''Just as this time, the televison behind Melancholia opened all of a sudden. Melancholia immediately turned back and saw a woman hooded in red and had a red eye-patch covered on her right eye.'' ''Melancholia turned back with a surprised look when she took a look at the woman, as if she did not know her. However, she soon smiled deviously.'' ''The Red Hood Woman blinked her left eye and bit her lips. She seemed to be angry.'' ​In fact, the Red Hood Woman was from the past, and she was contacting Melancholia from Sleepy Hollow, 2013, in a way that Michael contacted Nevins. The Red Hood Woman seemed dissatisfied and she did not but Melancholia's words. The Red Hood Woman sighed in fraustration. Enraged, Melancholia bitterly bit her lips and looked at the hooded woman.
 * Melancholia: Hmm?
 * Melancholia: Oh, ha-ha-ha-ha... it is you, my dear. You had just changed your outfit and placed yourself with an eyepatch? I nearly did not recognize you.
 * Red Hood Woman: Is there any plan for you to overthrow that dreadful Moloch? The Light Lord himself is waiting anxiously for my answer, and that answer depends on you and Michael Langdon. He wanted you to give a new future as well as a altered past, like you promised, so that we will bring Sleepy Hollow away from the Period of Tribulations!
 * 113Purgatory.pngMelancholia: Madam, I am just doing what we planned with Michael Langdon, who is now the Pope. I am doing the job quite well. Purgatory will be ours.
 * Red Hood Woman: Really? Using the blood of an accursed child is not an answer, and as far as I know from Michael, I found your methods rather tedious; sending demonic troops to scare the citizens, and some sort of zombie monster with a swelled right arm...
 * Red Hood Woman: If I present my own secret weapon upon your world, then the whole world will be cleansed from crime and war. Humanity will reach a new era! You need to know answer behind this simple question: "Who controls Sleepy Hollow?" We do, not you, not Moloch, and not Michael Langdon either. Our Order is only working with you and Michael so that we can make the town purified, and you should not slow our pace!
 * Melancholia: Hmm... looks like you are trying to resist, and I was missing your original outfit with no eye-patch at all... I believe your new outfit had made you even more hubristic and rude than before...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Melancholia: Ms. Selina Strawberry. '

The woman named Selina bit her lips bitterly as she widened her left eye.

Hearing this, Melancholia laughed out insanely like a maniac almost all of a sudden, and Selina looked at Melancholia with confusion. ''Melancholia tried to stop her laugh as she looked at Selina. Tears of joy were coming from Melancholia's eye.'' Fraustrated, Selina glared at Melancholia and started to lose her own temper.
 * Selina: Don't call me that name! My real name given by my dear parents is... Selina Sarandon! Only the Light Lord can adress me in that name with the word Strawberry in it!
 * Selina: What is so funny?
 * Melancholia: Oh, many things! That is clear that you don't know!
 * Selina: Okay, enough with those riddles! Can't you give me a clue? First, you and Michael Langdon did told that you were trying to overthrow Moloch but now you are using demons which I utterly despise! Let's get to the bottom of this. Are you---

''All of a sudden, Selina's word was interrupted when she heard a loud "bang". Melancholia slammed her fist on her table in rage. She could not bear it anymore.'' ''Melancholia turned her head away and sighed. Her coming words surprised Selina.'' "......?!"
 * Melancholia: The reason I allow you to live is that your stupidness is quite amusing.
 * Selina: Thank you, but I think you are not only vicious but also very annoying!
 * Melancholia: Very well, I admit the truth. Your Light Lord is not the saint he seemed.

Selina was so shocked that she immediately wide up her eyes and looked at Melancholia. ''Melancholia shook her head and turned back to Selina's hologram. Melancholia closed her eyes when a female figure started to appear in her head. That figure had long black hair and wore red dress. She also covered her left arm with bandages. Melancholia then opened her eyes once again.''
 * Selina: Huh? You must be joking!
 * Italy.Brothers.full.1958192.jpgMelancholia: I am serious, Selina. It was 18th century, and in that time, I met a demon princess who dared to challenge Moloch and tried to take over Purgatory, but they had eventually made a truce. Later, she somehow captured a mere mortal man and took him to Purgatory, and I suggested that we made him a tool for us to deceive humans, creating a false saint with corrupting light power. However, that false saint had betrayed us and soon fled... I don't know what happened to him later, but now I am still surprised that he was still alive.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Melancholia: He was known as Lord Helio... your so-called Light Lord. '

Selina was shocked by the words of Melancholia and she nearly collapsed on the ground. ''​Selina was feeling uneasy and her face was greener and greener. She was about to vomit.'' ''Calmly, Melancholia then looked at Selina, who glared at Melancholia in rage. Now, it was Selina's turn to freak out. Even so, Selina was still trying to hold back her shock, much to Melancholia's surprise.''
 * Selina: That is the name of the Light Lord...
 * Melancholia: False Light Lord, actually.
 * Selina: You mean Lord Helio, my kind Holy Father, is merely a mortal man corrupted by you and a demon princess?
 * [[File:Jeanne_alter_and_ruler_fate_grand_order_and_fate_series_drawn_by_zeroshiki_kouichi_sample-17cdda025459c77a70be8b4c8cc2332a.jpg|thumb|340px]]Melancholia: If you want to know more, then I shall inform you that he was in fact working with Moloch once again under Michael Langdon's influence, not trying to overthrow him...
 * Selina: No...
 * Melancholia: ... and therefore me and Michael shall take him down soon after we put this lame future to an end and achieve our own goals...
 * Selina: You are lying!
 * Melancholia: We are just using each other. That is all.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Selina: Where is your proof? '

''Selina asked with a smile like a child, but in fact, her heart was full of anger and pain. Melancholia was quite surprised when she saw Selina changed her mood quite so suddenly.'' ​Selina then chuckled deviously as Melancholia looked at her with surprised until Selia stopped. Selina then lit up her eyes, and she was seemly not freaking out at all.
 * Melancholia: Hmm?
 * Selina: Oh, dear... What an awkward situation.
 * Melancholia: You are not offended?

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Selina: Why, no. 

Melancholia looked at Selina with warning inside her eyes before she glared at Selina.
 * The_Evil_Light.jpgcholia: You will one day believe me, and you will know the true meaning behind your tool of cleansing. I hate to break it to you, but you are ignorant all along. In the end, good luck with your secret project, Selina.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Melancholia: Good luck with your so-called Dawn's Early Light. '

''Selina did not responded. Instead, Selina merely closed the television. Melancholia covered her face and sat inside her own chair with stress.''
 * Melancholia: Hmm, such a distress... Wait and see. You are not going away from it...

Afterwords

 * From Officer: Due to some problems, this spin-off faced a potential... EXPANSION. In my opinion, for me, it may take quite a hard time to write the things happened during a 3 months gap (between Angel Sub Arc & CM Sub Arc) in just 10 episodes, and if the story was not resolved right after Death Arc's mid-finale, I will finish this spin-off alone before I start the second half of Death Arc.
 * From CIS: Due to the almost 100% serious nature of CM Sub Arc, this spin-off will include more comedic moments than The Corbin Files as some relief after reading some horrid and terrifying story with mad scientists... and even so, it was still a dark fantasy story despite some parts is laughable. MAD sections won't stop in either this spin-off or Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow main stories as long as there was any fresh ideas for fun.
