''Attacking several KnightWalker soldiers with her axe, Helene's face turned more and more unnerved. She bit her lips and widened her eyes in horror.'' Helene then 
 * Noir.(Persona.5).full.2298972.jpgHelene: Go down!
 * Helene: So I was right... Melancholia wants to develop the Supreme Croatoan Virus... Damn, in this city, only I know how pestilent the virus can become to ordinary people...





''Shivered in terror and fear, Helene could hardly believed her eyes. Recently, while hiding amongst the crowd, Helene heard about the news of Bishop Biagio Busoni went missing, and she suspected that it was connected to Eckidina KnightWalker and her minions. She once believed that this man was dead, but she was shocked to find him still alive. She then stepped forward to this man, but she was blocked by Alfonso.'' ''As he was blocking the way between Helene and Biagio, Alfonso raised his sword and wiped Bishop Busoni, attacking him. However, Biagio immediately dodged the attack and struck Alfonso with a kick in the chest, before he immediately rushed to Helene in a blind attack.'' ''In an antipathetic face, Helene raised her hand and pointed it at Biagio, with some thick started to form on her hand... or more precisely, her hand had melted like a molten wax. Her face was twisted with wrath, almost twisted too much to be realistic, as she pretty much resembles a surreal painting. Bishop Busoni was then transformed himself into a monster once again.'' ''With a bellow, Helene then transformed herself into a gigantic sphere, surrounded by aura and filled with all sort of mixed color that is undescriable within human's cognition? Pinkish cyan? Bluish green? Yellowish silver? Nothing, no words from human language can describe its color.'' Shouting in agony and anger, Helene's sphere form immediately bursted and started to spread paint-like shadows across the street, attacking the soldiers of the KnightWalker Family and swallowed them, using magic to turn them into wax statues. In her abstrat form, full of strange colors that no one can ever describe what it is in human's cognition, and also fueled with her rage, Helene then attacked the mutated Biagio Busoni quickly, with Alfonso and Bubbly on her side. ''Meanwhile, not far away, Tres began to attack the monsters of Guinevere, which are demons from the Shadow of Darkness, a demonic clan that vowed fealty to Moloch. Atop the hote's roof, Guienevere snarled as she saw the street was illuminated by all kinds of colorful aura, which made her eyes burnt.'' ''Just as Guinevere angrily bit her lips, she didn't lose her concentration on Lidvia Lorenzetti, as she still strained her inside her grasp. Lidvia began to cry and shiver in pain, seeing her respected mentor became a mindless beast and was about to kill the Catholic Rebels.'' ''Guinevere, however, showed zero sympathy on what happened in front of her. Even if Lidvia was crying in shock and sadness, Guinevere still showed no empathy. She only stared at the street with cold, blank eyes.  Guinevere then turned her head to Lidvia... and she smiled at her prisoner. Lidvia flinched severely. The nonchalant attitude of Guinevere disturbed her, and it disturbed her intensely.'' ''Guinevere's disturbing smile made Lidvia felt chill on her spine. Enraged, Lidvia even tried to raise her fist and punch Guinevere in the face, but she couldn't. She could only watch as Bishop Busoni continued to attack Helene.''​​ ''Helene screamed and materialized herself back into her human form. She looked back and saw Tres, the clowns and the nuns escorted Cardinal Sforza to safety. As the monster rushed to Helene, Alfonso raised his blade and plundged it into the monster's chest.'' ''Soon, the black blood started to spray out from its chest, but Helene immediately seized the chance and dragged the monster away from Alfonso, who immediately leaped back thanks to Bubbly, who dragged him away as soon as possible. Thankfully, Alfonso didn't touch a single drop of black blood. The black blood sprayed on the face of Helene, and she started at the beast for a moment, just like a fish being blacked by an octopus. However, Helene immediately let out a sadistic smile.''
 * Toaru_Majutsu_no_Index_II_E15_11m_50s.jpgHelene: It's Biagio Busoni! How can this be?
 * 67645051_p6_master1200.jpgAlfonso: Wait a minute, Ringmistress! He's not Bishop Busoni!
 * Helene: I told you not to be so barbaric!
 * The_colour_out_of_space.jpgHelene: If you're not the real Bishop Busoni, then I'll have no problem to turn you into a beauty! I'll have my own authority to make you a collection of mine!
 * Helene: Dammit! Give me more rounds and it'll be a masterpiece!

 * Helene: (think) * I must stay here... The Supreme Croatoan Virus can swallow the Blackness and turn it into a form of its host's power! *
 * Guinevere: It's so tough... Curse you, Helene!
 * Saber.(Miyamoto.Musashi).full.2305844.pngLidvia: Stop! Stop it, Guinevere! I beg you!
 * Guinevere: I like your begging.
 * Guinevere: Do it again if you dare.
 * Helene: AHHHHHHHHHH!
 * Alfonso: Get off from her! I'll free you from your misery!

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Helene: The Blackness... Pefect food for Supreme Croatoan... '

''An eerie face began to occur on the face of Helene, and she immediately bit the bleeding chest of Busoni and started to suck the black blood from it. It should be noted that the Supreme Croatoan is immune to due to the virus' corrotion towards the blood cells. Therefore, the Blackness is often used to enhance normal Croatoan Virus and turned them into Supreme Croatoan Virus. Since Helene is a host, she is not only immune to the Blackness, but also can absorb it and turn it into her power, unless she overdosed.'' ''Helene then stopped sucking the black blood, since she felt it was enough for her to regain her strength without being affected by it. She immediately wiped the black ink-like blood from her mouth and then released a hand granande from her pocket. On the roof, Guinevere was shocked by Helene's ability.'' ''Lidvia was even more shocked by Helene's ability. However, Bubbly and Alfonso both treated it like just a normal day. Alfonso then leaned on a tree with a smile.'' ''However, as Alfonso was relented, Guinevere suddenly rolled her eyes with a grin. Then, she leaped towards the monster Biagio. Sensing such an intimidating movement, Helene was alerted that she immediately defend herself, but she was shocked to find that Guinevere raised her blade towards the monster.'' ''With a wide grin, Guinevere ripped the chest of the monster opened and unleashed those substance from the body of Biagio. Biagio roared violently and Helene stepped back in disgust.'' ''Helene immediately stared at the black substance as she widened her eyes in shock. She tried to held back her feelings because she really wanted to drink her fill with the black substance to feed the virus inside her body.'' ''Helene stepped back in horror, but soon she started to move forward to the substance. The clowns that cleaned the goons were all apalled by what they saw, as they knew what would happen if Helene consumed that substance too much, beyond the virus could consume...'' ''Helene tried to hold back, but it was apparent that the virus inside her had draw her into that black wet pit. Guinevere lost her patience and immediately rushed to Helene, giving her a bearhug and lifted her above her shoulders.'' ''Yelled in anger, Guinevere threw Helene towards the bleeding Biagio fiercely, and Helene flied straight to the corpse like an arrow. All of a sudden, a pink shadow leaped out of the clowns. In the midair, she hugged Helene and then carried her to the other side of road.'' ''It was Bubbly Begonia, one of the first-string member of Merry Melody. Bubbly's appearance didn't change too much from her younger age in the circus, since she - like many members of the circus - is actually trapped in a child's body since she 10 year old, never grew taller.'' ''Helene felt blurry by the bumb on her head when Bubbly pushed her away, and she cannot answer Bubbly for now. Bubbly then turned back and yelled to other clowns, who were surrounding the monster Biagio.'' ''Guinevere immediately reacted when she saw the clowns surrounding the monster, and she rushed towards them and tried to slice them, but then, after a bump between metals were heard, Guinevere narrowed her gaze. She saw Lidvia standing between her and the clowns.'' ''In spite of her situation, even with her body shedding blood, Lidvia still raised her sword against her evil enemy. Guinevere was shocked by Lidvia's sudden presence and yelled in rage.'' ''Guinevere's words made Lidvia to let out a smug smirk. She then giggled in scorn.  Before Guinevere could react, a blazing orange light illuminated the street. Guinevere widened in horror and shock as theyshe saw Bishop Biagio's mutated body began to burn. The clowns set it aflame via their flamethrower, before they sprinkled the monster with a bottle of vodka. Enraged, Guinevere then started at the face of Lidvia again as they continued the confrontation between them.'' Lidvia nodded and chuckled. Before Lidvia could finish, Guinevere immediately stepped on the foot of Lidvia, playing dirty tricks to get the upper hand. ''Guinevere then raised her blade and sliced the body of Lidvia. With a flash of blood that splattered towards the sky, Lidvia's eyes turned blanked and she raised her head. Meanwhile, Helene had found herself again. Due to the destruction of demonic Biagio, Helene had finally recovered from her Blackness fixiation, but then she saw Guinevere slicing the chest of Lidvia, as the latter was protecting the clowns.'' Helene yelled in pain and horror as she saw Lidvia falling onto the ground...
 * Helene: Mmm... That's enough...
 * Guinevere: Good lord... So this is...
 * Saber.(Miyamoto.Musashi).full.2318070.jpgAlfonso: As I assume, this Firenza Blood is the Blackness.
 * Guinevere: You're draw to this substance? Then, I'll feed you untill it's enough!
 * Helene: Ugh! Gross! Are you seriously-- wait, wait a minute, what's this...
 * Helene: This is... what evolved the virus... Can it be...
 * Helene: No... No, I cannot...
 * Guinevere: Get in!
 * Bubbly: Are you okay, Ringmistress?
 * Saber.(Miyamoto.Musashi).full.2311507.jpgHelene: Bubbly?
 * Bubbly: KILL IT NOW!!!
 * Lidvia: I won't allow you to move further!
 * Guinevere: Impossible! You confessed your crime, and you should have remain docile even if you don't want to, unless I TURN YOU INTO A CREATURE JUST LIKE THAT!
 * Lidvia: That's just a ruse. It looks like you're not as bright as your sister.
 * Guinevere: What?
 * Saber.(Miyamoto.Musashi).full.2310610.pngGuinevere: Ruse?
 * Lidvia: Do you really think my sins are killing Sister Agata? No, this is what your so-called Pope made me to do so! I have many sins, but I only confess it to God! As for you... you're not even a human! You're a fiend under the skin of a beast!
 * Guinevere: SHUT UP!
 * Helene: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

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

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

''Vaclav felt he had an eternal sleep ever since he was knocked unconcious by Fiamma of the Right, who appeared in front of him all of a sudden. He felt like it was a bad dream, until the time he woke up.'' ''He found himself on a chair and being retrained by chains on his arm. Vaclav tried to pull his chain, but it proved fruitless. He could not escape. He looked around and found himself inside a courtroom, with blank astonishment in his eyes.''

''The courtroom seemed messy, but still it maintained the majority of its structure untouched. Melancholia was standing five meters away from Vaclav, crossing her arms and glared at him. She was wearing a coat instead of armor. She seemed both disappointed and angry as she glared at Vaclav.'' ''Melancholia then looked at the sword which was placed on the judge's table. Vaclav looked at the right side and saw Fiamma standing there as well. It was not a nightmare. The thing happened before his very eyes was more than realistic.'' Vaclav realized that things were going wrong, and he took a nervous breath, trying to explain. Before he could finish, Melancholia angrily narrowed her gaze interrupted him.
 * Melancholia: You made a fool of me, Vaclav. It's a shame.
 * 12531.jpgMelancholia: I had such high hopes.You could have played a pivotal role in Vatican's future.
 * Vaclav: Listen to me...
 * Melancholia: Don't insult me further by lying!

As Melancholia scolded him, Vaclav frowned and looked around, still trying to figure out where he was now. ''Vaclav angrily interrupted Melancholia, and his words made Melancholias lips began to tremble. Her face was twisted in wrath, and after three seconds of pulse, she answered in a cold tone.'' ''Melancholia spoke slower, clearer, and with a tone more and more frightening. Vaclav held back his own feelings of nervous and narrowed his eyes.''
 * A9dc48ed2e738bd441ff2f50a28b87d6267ff95a.pngcholia: Ah, I know you took my key card to Cardinal Borgia's lab in Generva, giving it to Arzonia Family. Odd that Borgia said nothing. He and I will be having words. Who else have you brought into your confidence? Maria Arzonia, obviously.
 * Vaclav: What is this, an exit interview?
 * Melancholia: If you like. (beat) Who else have you spoken to? (beat) Who... else... have... you... spoken to?
 * Vaclav: Former Pope Fosenca raised me years ago when I was just an orphan, but the dreadful KnightWalker Family had him killed. Your current master, the current Pope, assassinated the previous Pope Matthai Reese. You drove Mary Spencer, the one who I treated as my own sister, into a cannon folder.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Vaclav: You can go to hell. '

''Disappointed, Melancholia shook her head and sighed. Vaclav then looked at Fiamma standing not far away, as he questioned him in menace.'' Fiamma didn't respond Vaclav. Melancholia immediately interrupted Vaclav as the latter tried harder to insult Fiamma. ''As Melancholia spoke harsh words to Vaclav, Fiamma set himself in motion. He walked himself on the stairs and sat on the judge's seat, holding the sword on it inside his hands.'' "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vaclav suddenly reacted in sheer shock and horror as soon as he heard the phrase "Dome of the Star". Melancholia then looked at Fiamma as the latter got the sword in his hand. ''After that, Melancholia then summoned a large portal and then she teleported herself away to somewhere else. Then, Fiamma immediately pitched up his voice. He wasn't speaking one single word when he captured Vaclav and made him to Melancholia's custody, until now.'' ''Vaclav looked at the courtroom. There were no jury, no defense attorney, no prosecutor, no witnesses, only a "judge" standing above him, as well as himself as a defendant.'' With a pair of angry eyes, Fiamma then struck the tip of his sword into his desk.
 * Vaclav: And what are you now, Fiamma, their lapdog!?
 * Vaclav: I know you're a lunatic. At least, you used to stand for something.
 * Melancholia: Your attempts to turn Fiamma of the Right against me are tiresome, Vaclav. He was following you not because I asked him to, but because he knows, as I do... that you're an enemy to Catholic Church.
 * Melancholia: You always are stubborn, but I'm sad you won't see the end of our little story, when the clock stops, when the Dome of the Star falls upon the city ...
 * 66730707_p0_master1200.jpgVaclav: Hmm?
 * Melancholia: ... the last surviving member in the old Arzonia Family lineage, known so far, will worth nothing at all.
 * Melancholia: Fiamma... he's all yours.
 * Fiamma: Let the record show that the trial of Vaclav Havel has begun!
 * Fiamma: Fiamma of the Right presides as judge, jury... and executioner!

<p style="text-align:center;"> 2 minutes later  <p style="text-align:center;"> Scotland Yard 

''Hung up her phone and looked at the ceiling of Scotland Yard, Villian was getting more and more distraught, worrying about Abel, Vaclav and Sforza. Esther had tied herself up with Chain Viper in order not to make herself out of control, while Maria was holding the chain tightly.'' ''Maria then thought about what Krans and Yuri just informed her... some demonic entity who stared a collaboration with Melancholia for now...'' Maria suddenly heard an unfriendly voice coming from her left side, and she frowned her eyebrows.
 * Villian: There's still no sign of Lidvia, Vaclav or Abel.
 * Maria: This is so scary, as now we lost contact with so many people. I don't know what on Earth had happened in the United Kingdom recently, but I assume that it was caused by... not Carissa or Mafusa Gang... but by someone else, someone much more powerful.
 * ???: Wait, what is that Arzonia Niña doing here in Scotland Yard?
 * 65227329_p0_master1200.jpgMaria: Sorry for being rude, but that's not the way you speak Spanish.

Maria then stood up and turned to look at a girl with black long hair and dressed in a short white T-shirt tied into a knot at the bottom, revealing her belly button; her jeans have one pantsleg cut off to be very short. "SLAP!!!" ''Before Maria could finish her words, Kaori raised her hand and gave Maria a firm slap. Her slap was so hard that Maria's face went straight to the left in an angle of 45 degrees.''
 * Maria: I guess you're Ms. Kanzaki Kaori, and I know you. I'm sorry that I didn't...

''Enraged, Matt immediately went further and stood in front of Kaori, right beside Maria. Kaori and Matt knew each other for many years, but they hardly had interactions except during actions in war. Therefore, Matt wasn't that close to Kaori compared to his relationship with Maria.''
 * ToB_05-16-16.jpgMatt: Kaori!?
 * Matt: What are you doing here?

Kaori glared at Matt and narrowed his eyes.

''The face of Maria was left with a large red mark. Kaori gave her such a harsh slap that even she herself could feel it despite under her Spirit form. Magilou, Sumireko and Esther (despite being firmly tied up) immediately leaned forward to Maria in order to take care of her.'' ''Esther raised her head and shouted at Kaori. Kaori didn't look at her. Instead, she looked at Maria in a face of disdain.'' ''Magilou gave Kaori a murderous leer as she started to apporach Maria and helped her to get up, but she immediately stepped back as soon as she found the body tempreture of Maria started to increase. Now, Maria can't hold back her rage due to Kaori's words, and angrily sharpened her gaze, agitated by Kaori's aggresive attitude.'' ''It was the very first time that Yuri Barnes saw Maria's wrath for being humiliated. There nothing more horrid than a woman scorned, and Maria's angry glare and malicious tone scared Yuri. As Yuri was taking a deep breath, Maria angrily turned to her subordinates.'' ''Both Magilou and Sumireko turned to the right and look at Matt, the only one in Catholic Rebels that was from the Church of England's service. Interesting enough, Matt look at right as well, as if it never was his fault at all...'' ''Before Matt could finish, he suddenly realized what was going on all of a sudden, as if his reaction paced much slower than usual. He quickly turned his head back in an angry blush, mumbering in a very low voice.'' ''Noticing Maria had been enraged, Kaori merely looked at Maria with her gaze narrowed, trying not to let her guard down. Maria glared at Matt for some instance and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She noticed that the soldiers from the Church of England as well as police from Scotland yard was about to protect Kaori.'' ''With Stiyl Magnus smoking beside her, Kaori had a distrustful mood showed on her face, as she realized that Maria was taking the problems seriously. Maria gulped in anger before pushing down her wrath. She lowed down her head and thought about all of those terrible things she did as a Cyborg.''
 * 46689474_p0_master1200.jpgKaori: You're now on her side, right, Matt? Ha, don't forget that your faith belongs to Protestant Church, after all, and you shouldn't get closer to a Catholic like her, not to mention that she once tried to kill many people while shambling in the streets of London, as a murderous and sadistic KnightWalker Cyborg!
 * Esther: What are you doing!?
 * Kaori: Ha, you may think you're a hero, but it still cannot hide the fact that you once became a Cyborg working for the KnightWalker Family, and a Mafusa Gang member much before that. I can't believe that Matt joined your cause. Michael Langdon is the Protestan Church's buisness, and you... Stay out of this. You're just someone that nobody wants.
 * Maria: I can stand every humiliation throw at me, but I can't stand anyone who dares to call me as someone that nobody wants! Seriously, who invited such an extremist into our party?
 * Kanzaki.Kaori.full.1470829.jpgMaria: Who did this? Tell me, now!
 * Sumireko: It was Matt.
 * Magilou: It was Matt.
 * Matt: It was Matt...
 * Matt: (mumber) Damn.
 * Kaori: Hmm...
 * To.Aru.Majutsu.no.Index.full.1809318.jpgMaria: Maybe next time, but first please choose the correct word you're saying.
 * Kaori: I don't need your sermon, Ms. Arzonia. You're searching for our Archbishop, but sadly, I'll disagree. You know how Catholic Church and we Anglican Church clashed together centuries ago, after King Henry VIII founded the Anglican Church. Given to your aforementioned crime as a Cyborg, you should be glad that I don't try to kill you here. Now, I'm worried that you're trying to control the Church of England as soon as you take down Melancholia and then Michael. How should we believe in you?

''Horrifyingly to her, those memories never fade even after Maria was snapped from her brainwashing, as if they were carved inside Maria's mind. However, she immediately cooled herself down, knowing that it was not the time for any quarrell.'' Maria was making a reference in her speech to pay homage to Zhou Enlai during his participate in Asian–African Conference nearly eighty years ago, in order to persuade others to seek the same goal and put the differences aside. ''Speaking in a calm voice as composed as possible, Maria's words made those London police as well as the Church of England's members looked at each other. Stiyl lifted his lips a bit.'' ''Hearing Stiyl's words, Kaori immediately turned to Stiyl with a shocked face. She could hardly believe that Stiyl approved Maria so easily'' ''Saddened, Kaori then turned to Maria with a menacing face, but was more composed and less agressive. She then noticed Princess Villian on Arzonia Family's side, and then she sighed again, face-palming herself in a fit of dismay.'' ''Kaori then turned back and walked away with all of her colleagues. More than a month ago, they all witnessed Cyborg Maria's murderous attempt to take Acqua of the Back's life, and they couldn't trust her. Maria watched them walked away and touched her own cheek. She still felt burning pain due to that slap, hinting how brutal and aggresive Kaori's strength was.'' Maria then stopped thinking and immediately used hold the phone inside her hand. ''Maria then dialed the number of Rimea's phone and desperately waiting for the news to come. She knew that Princess Rimea always had an idea to rescue Abel from that dreadful situation.'' Then, she heard a desperate female voice coming from the phone. ''Maria was panicked. Rimea's voice seemed weak and desperate, as if she was out of any idea to save Abel from such situation. Esther noticed Maria's facial expressions, and it drew her concern as well.'' Rimea let out a sad sigh, as Maria's heartbeat turned faster and faster. ''Maria didn't listen to what Rimea said about things of Old Bailey. Slowly, the phone on Maria's hand dropped before it fell in front of her feet, right after Rimea said that Abel took the Firenza Blood. A despaired and agonized expression was on the face of Maria. She was devastated that the news came to her. Between those sadistic choice, Abel still surrendered to madness for survival.'' ''Maria sat on her armchair in a face full of despair, as gray as cooled down ashes. The news that Abel injected himself with Firenza Blood made her utterly crushed. Matt immediately picked up the phone and continued to converse with the First Princess, while looking at Maria with concern. Her movements were like a stone which was thrown into a peaceful lake. Everyone stopped and looked at Maria. Kaori turned to look at Maria as soon as she heard the phone which dropped on the ground.  Esther heard Maria's words and immediately rushed to Maria. Feeling utterly sick, Esther's mind suddenly had a horrid feelings rushed through her brain like electric current.'' ''With her eyes wet, Maria turned her face to Esther and closed her eyes. Tears streamed down her own cheeks. Esther was devastated by Maria's news as well.'' ''Maria let out a sigh and stood up from her chair, as her mind wandered back into her dark and troubled past again. A young girl running and crying in an alley, a young girl who was coerced to give a boom-headshot to two unarmed civillains, a young girl who was turned into a Cyborg and killed many people...'' ''Maria raised her head and closed her eyes, allowing her own tears streamed down her cheeks. Kaori saw Maria's reactions and suddenly widened her eyes.'' ''For now, Maria was like placing herself inside a dark void where nothing existed around her. Maria started to hate herself. If she never pulled the trigger and tried to disobey her brothers sooner, Mr. and Mrs. Robison might not die, so that Carl won't blame the bad things on her at all.'' ''If she returned back to the Russian Resistance Base with others instead of playing with the awful and petty mind game of Melancholia in order to seek out truths, Abel won't went back to Europe alone with that syringe of Firenza Blood. This had benefitted Nio's vicious plans.'' Not far away, 'Kaori silently watched Maria's remorse, with a complicated feelings inside her. ''For some instance, Kaori still treated Maria as a Cyborg. She had killed many KnightWalker Family Cyborgs and saw them as remorseless and emotionless pet dogs of Eckidina. Therefore, she had no empathy on all of them.'' ''However, seeing Maria shed tears made Kaori was shocked. Then, she saw Magilou, Esther and Sumireko went to Maria and Esther, starting to confort them for what happened on Abel. Matt hung up his phone in a rush and went to comfort Maria, and he hugged her inside his arms.'' ''Kaori seemed confused, especially seeing Maria being comforted by Matt. She realized that Matt did this for a reason, but she was still confused.'' ''Just then, Kaori returned back to her senses and snapped out from her confusion. She heard Matt telling Maria about something.'' Maria heard the news that Vaclav Havel was safe and sound, as her eyes lit up, but she immediately reacted in horror and anger when she heard Vaclav was chained by Melancholia and Fiamma inside Old Bailey. ''Maria immediately rolled her eyes and start thinking about the solution. She never expected that Fiamma of the Right was inside London with Melancholia as well. She remembered that Fiamma of the Right had mentioned about some superweapon named Star of Bethlehem which was once considered to put into the use, but she thought Michael stripped Fiamma from the power and would never use him again.'' Then, she immediately made a turn to the door, with her face covered in shadows. ''As Maria was giving out her orders to the agents from the Catholic Rebels, Adam immediately drew his two axes and followed Maria's pace. Eva and Matt followed Adam with their respective weapons.'' ''Adam was slightly confused, but he didn't hestitate on following Maria's pace. The group was also followed by several rebel soldiers and magicians. They immediately left the Scotland Yard, leaving many police officers in bewilderment. Those police, like what we read from detective novels or saw from some fictional stories, were by-the-book allies. Maria was wise not to make those by-the-book cops to take control in this action, as there was no time to waste and she had to act immediately.'' ''The police officers looked at each other and started to discuss about Maria's movements. However, their discussion were heard by Princess Villian not far away, who was arranging the guarding.'' ''While arranging documents and guarding needs, Villian spoke those words in a manner of a general disciplining his subordinates, and those police officers went quiet immediately. Watching Villian from not far away, Kaori lowed down her head and sighed.'' As she was looking at the gate where Maria just left, Kaori was approached by Sumireko, who had just made the knights and soldiers from Pica Army to be in their position in case Melancholia attack the Yard in any moment. ''With a smile, Sumireko looked aside and looked at Poison Ivy, who was busy in writing reports and arranging the doctors in Scotland Yard to figure out a cure for Firenza Blood as soon as possible, albeit still holding her signature rose inside her hand. She was also writing things on the paper, like "Water of Life" and "Patriarch's Blood" on the paper, with a "speculation" beside those two words.'' Kaori was surprised to see Poison Ivy, a once notorious supervillain, was inside Maria's group trying to help out, but she was even more surprised when Sumireko said "Familia", as its written form means "family" in various language like Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, etc. ''Kaori didn't answer, but she fell into thoughts. Just then, Poison Ivy's face turned angry and she stood up. She snatched a fire extinguisher and went to Stiyl Magnus sitting not far away.  Poison Ivy was corrected, as Stiyl had smoke three cigarretts during his ten minutes' stay in Scotland Yard. After all, it was his habit, but Ivy actually hated men smoking. However, she was not trying to be too agreesive and tried to be polite.'' ''In spite of this, with a scornful face, Styil just leered at Ivy's own fire extinguisher. He then looked away from Ivy and continued smoking.'' ''Ivy was pissed off. She bit her lips and then, she had an idea all of a sudden. She then pointed at the door and yelled like a cheerful child.'' ''Stiyl immediately took a look at the door, but he found no one there. However, Ivy reverted back to her normal serious personality immediately, and she opened the fire extinguisher and sprayed it to Stiyl, soaking himself in water and foams.'' ''Stiyl was so surprised when he was soaked, that he dropped the cigarette, which the water had put it out anyway. Ivy walked to the cigarette, picking it up, throwing it into a bin and went back working, as if nothing happened before. From not far away, Villian, Magilou, Sumireko and Kaori all looked with a massive face fault on their face.'' ''Sumireko chuckled at Kaori with embarrasement. Kaori worryingly looked at Stiyl. Stiyl, however, seemed not mind that he was soaked. He smiled and lowed down his head.'' Kaori then thought about Sumireko's words and then, with her eyes sharpened, she lifted her head...
 * Joan.Alter.full.2249931.jpgMaria: Okay, I see we have difference. That's why I believe Zhou Enlai, the first Premier of the People's Republic of China, has his own good point in this. To be honest, we're here not for seeking any differences.
 * Maria: Now, Melancholia is out there, trying to put a demonic blood breakout inside this city, and we're to seek for the same goal. We need to keep our own odds to ourselves, as our goals are the same. If you call me a sinner, then I'm here for atonement. We all fight against Eckidina KnightWalker, not between ourselves.
 * Stiyl: I guess she has a point there, Kaori. You should put your grudge aside.
 * Kaori: But... * sigh *
 * Kaori: If you want to help us with a same goal, if you want to atone your sins, then prove it with your actions, Arzonia. Before that, please stay away from me.
 * Maria: I don't blame her... I don't blame her any longer. She does have a point. I did horrible things before... and that's why I'll one day rip Eckidina's face from her deformed skull.
 * Maria: (think) * At least, Princess Rimea isn't that brutal or agreesive... I must phone her quickly. *
 * Rimea: (phone) [Arzonia?]
 * Maria: W-what happened, Your Highness?
 * Rimea: (phone) [I'm sorry. We can't find Abel anywhere. Nio buried him quite hidden and deep. I had no choice but to make him to take the Firenza Blood syringe so that he can broke free, but then he turned into a murderous form of vampire... We have to find him. Now, I'm in Old Bailey and I need to tell you that--]
 * Abel.Nightroad.full.1665411.jpgRimea: (voice) [Maria? Maria!?]
 * Maria: I should think it through... I should think it through... I thought there was always another way to make Abel escape without taking that blood syringe...
 * Esther: Abel... had...
 * 62082196_p0_master1200.jpgMaria: Sorry, Esther, but now we should now operate a manhunt. We must find Abel and find the cure that can heal him, before he falls into such a horrid situation...
 * Maria: My punishment... After all... This is all my punishment.
 * Kaori: (think) * She... She's crying? *
 * Kaori: (think) * Who are you really are, Maria Arzonia? *
 * Matt: Don't worry, Maria. Her Highness also said that her minions had found Lord Vaclav alive and well, but he was chained in Old Bailey, being captured by the forces of Melancholia. Fiamma of the Right is with him.
 * Maria: Old Bailey? That's a courthouse!
 * Maria: (think) * It must because of my actions, which drove Michael into using Fiamma and possibly the Star of Bethlehem... I must stop him as soon as possible. *
 * Maria: Adam, Eva, Matt, please come with me. We'll head to Old Bailey. Sumireko, please call our guards and persuade the police. We must find Abel as soon as possible, and we'll heal him before he could hurt anyone else, and...
 * Adam: How and why did Lord Vaclav come to this place full of uncertainty, anyway?
 * Asseylum.Vers.Allusia.full.1854239.jpgPolice officer 1: They didn't even ask of any permission from our superiors.
 * Police officer 2: We should allow our inspector to get our troops line up.
 * Villian: I know you guys have such of a feeling that this was going to be messy, but I'm telling you that this is a rebellion against the current false pope, not a normal activities of criminal capturing. If she wait for the inspector's orders, we'll going after a corpse and chasing the rumors. Besides, Arzonia served her free will, not the Anglican Church or the Yard. People, please, let's believe in her.
 * Kaori: Hmm... She served her free will...
 * Sumireko: Ah, that's who she is. In fact, I was once hostile to her as well, until she accept me without even minding that I was a KnightWalker Family Cyborg. Ms. Kazenki, you might think Arzonia and us are here because we want to take down the Protestant Church. Not at all. In fact, we're just trying to bring back a friend of us, and we'll help you defeat Michael Langdon's force. After all, not everyone in La Nueva Familia de Arzonia are Catholics, some are even atheists, like Poison Ivy over there...
 * Kaori: Familia? You mean... family?
 * Sumireko: Matt told me that Catholic Rebel is just our official name for the public, but we're in fact having another name for our organization, "The New Family of Arzonia", albeit in Spanish. I came to realize that all these days, Maria never wants conquer someone. She wants freedom, peace and love, as well as a family. She never had a real family to begin with. You know how much decadence was filled in the original Arzonia Family... That's why we're devoted to her, because we were once all lost souls tormented by the worlds' cruelty. However, she treats us as kindred spirit. I don't know why she had so much of idealistic view on life, but that's not too bad, right?
 * Poison Ivy: I'm sorry, Mr. Magnus, but we actually don't allow smoking here.
 * Stiyl: Hmm...
 * 0034034905581859_b.jpgStiyl: Well, when did you got yourself a toy fire extinguisher, Ms. Ivy? Leave it to your garden, please.
 * Poison Ivy: Good morning, Archibishop!
 * 5eee9926cffc1e17fcceebea4890f603728de9bb.jpgPoison Ivy: I said no smoking here!
 * Sumireko: Well, you know, something hilarious will happen to us now...
 * Stiyl: Bold comrades you had, Arzonia...
 * Kaori: Whatever.

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

Act 1 - Start of the Siege
<p style="text-align:center;"> 5 minutes later 

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

''Vaclav was saved in time, but the whole city was put into a sheer frenzy as now Fiamma of the Right is at large. Now, an undeniable fact had surfaced from the water.''

''The agents working for the God's Right Seat as well as Langdon Orphans had been hidden the whole city, and Fiamma was among them as well... or more precisely, Fiamma is currently the one in charge of it besides Melancholia and Borgia.''

Now, Matt had rushed into the hall of Scotland Yard immediately, as now he was trying to operate the operation of finding Fiamma.

Standing beside several London Police officers, Sister Kate had just hung up a phone after she asked for the search party that was looking for Fiamma. ''This was the last straw for Matt. Fraustrated, Matt let out a brawl and rushed all the way throughout the prestinct, yelling to everyone in a loud voice, like a walking trumpet.'' ''Matt then went to Yuri Barnes, who was preparing his magic book and was ready to set out for the actions. Vaclav was sitting beside him, sleeping. Gaius was taking care of him.'' ''Yuri then started to set out before suddenly, Matt's new cell phone rang. He immediately answered it. Yuri stopped his actions and looked at Matt, as the latter's face suddenly overwhelmed with delight.'' Matt immediately hung the phone in excitement, and then he grinned ear to ear towards Yuri as if he beated him in a ball game. ''Yuri heard Matt's good news and smiled in relief. Matt can't help himself from showing his thumbs to Gaius, meaning "Good job", as he was impressed fully by the effective actions of the Witch Cult, as he thought bringing Borgia in won't be that easy. However, when Matt looked at his phone again, he saw a notice of an unanswered call from Princess Rimea.'' Just then, as Matt remained confused, a bellow could be heard not far away, which was so lound that it completely scared every people inside, including Gaius, Vaclav (from his sleep), Matt and Yuri at the same time. ''As the startle reactions ensued in the whole place, everyone saw Princess Rimea at the front door, who almost immediately rushed onto the stairs after yelling at Matt. Matt immediately bowed in front of the princess.'' ''People all looked at Rimea, who seemed to be very stressed and was shocked due to some reason. Matt never saw her being so distraught like before.'' Hearing this, everyone widened their eyes in shock and horror. ''Turned out, Nio Hashiri was playing them all way round like a bunch of fools inside the city of London. Since he almost floated to the air becuase of the delight brought by Borgia's captured Matt felt he was smashed back onto the ground as soon as he heard such a bad news. Vaclav lowered his head in shame, feeling guilty for what happened to Abel.'' ''Just as everyone was feeling fraustrated, Matt turned his head once again and saw Katya and Valnir Kruls had escorted a man with black suit into the place. Then, as Matt widened his eyes in surprise, due to being surprised by the speed of the Witch Cult doing things, Sumireko Hanabusa immediately went towards him and looked closer.'' ''Trying to calm himself down, Matt took a deep breath and immediately went downstairs, reaching Borgia with an angry face. Sumireko stepped aside and allowed him to cut in.'' ''Matt then stood in front of Cardinal Borgia face to face and looked at the latter in a serious face. He had to let him go once, but since everything going in secrecy was now exposed under Melancholia's plain sight, there'll be nothing to make him not to arrest Antonio Borgia.'' Glaring at the amoral cardinal with fury, Matt then looked at Valnir and Katya. ''Matt the called four guards of Catholic Rebels. Then, he led Borgia and the guards all the way across the corridor. Katya and Valnir looked at each other with a tensed expression, feeling something was going wrong even with the Parliament's problems were seemly resolved for now. However, Carl had allowed the killing against several people from the House of Lords that concealed the truth of Carl's "betrayl" as an execution.''
 * Matt: Sister Kate, any news from Fiamma?
 * Sister Kate: [Nothing yet.]
 * 66600694_p0_master1200.jpgMatt: Aw... there's a nutjob, running around in a leather jumpsuit... with a red claw on his back! I know this is World War III, buddies, but come on, do something! 
 * Matt: Yuri...
 * Yuri: I'm heading over to Borgia's townhouse. I located them there and I was feared that Katya won't make it in capturing him. I need to help her since I'm really worried. Maybe I can get there before Melancholia realized Vaclav had escaped... in case I run around Fiamma.
 * Matt: This is Butcher. [...] Yes, yes! Thank you!
 * Matt: That was Princess Villian. Our friends from the Witch Cult beat us to it. Rimea saw Katya and Kruls successfully captured Cardinal Borgia, and they're bringing him in now. Finally some frigging good news, right? 
 * Bayonetta_by_shirlmuse-d3bqm4r.jpgMatt: Princess Rimea's call?
 * Rimea: MATT!
 * Bayonetta_by_kittysophie-d8eena4.png: Where in the world have you been!? I've been trying to call you all day.
 * Matt: Sorry, Your Highness. What happened?
 * Rimea: Nio deceived us all. Abel was never buried in Hyde Park. I was forced to let him to consume the Firenza Junior syringe, so that it can buy us time to find him, but he never appeared in Hyde Park.
 * Yuri: What? Where is he now?
 * Rimea: Instead of appearing in Hyde Park, he appeared near London Waterloo Rail Station, AND NOW IT'S RUSH HOUR!
 * Higekiri.full.2284813.pngVaclav: Because of Firenza Blood, Abel is now deranged and dangerous.
 * Gaius: Nio must want to make him slaughter humans in the train station just like how he did to Esther!
 * Matt: Oh, God, why? Why can't anything be easy?
 * Higekiri.full.2275742.jpgSumireko: It's Cardinal Borgia.
 * Matt: Excuse me.
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.948008.jpgBorgia: Coporal Butcher? I suppose I really shouldn't be surprised.
 * Matt: No, you shouldn't. Now, as Melancholia was questioning your motives, according to Lord Vaclav, there's nothing can protect you from your punishment, Cardinal Borgia.
 * Matt: Thank you both. Allow me to take care of him. Guards.

''Without saying any word, Katya and Valnir almost immediately turned aside and saw Maria, who was covering her head in fraustration. Maria was driven into a frantical state. Before Katya could ever say something, she heard Matt approaching her again with a polite manner.'' ''Valnir looked at Katya with a face of confusion. It seemed that he still had problems of trusting Matt. Nevertheless, Katya fell silent for a while before she gave a nod.''
 * Matt: High Priestess, please follow me. I need your help. Borgia might know about something we all want to know.
 * Katya: After you.

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

''Now, the interrogation had started, as Matt sat in front of the cuffed Cardinal Antonio Borgia, who was the prisoner of him now. Matt looked at the amoral priest angrily, but Cardinal Borgia still tried to make himself seemed more vigorous, by posing as some kind of defiant person, keeping his mouth shut like a dead duck.''

Looking at Magilou, Sumireko, Katya, Gaius and Valnir beside him, after the all had followed him to oversee the whole process under his own request, Matt the looked at Borgia again, as he began to play straight with his interrogations. Keeping himself stoic, Borgia only stared at Matt like someone looking at a complete fool with a face full of bewilderment. ''Matt saw Borgia's defiant attitude and was greatly offended. He realized that Borgia was pretending to be completely bewildered, so that he would show himself as someone innoncent. In fact, everyone here knew he was lying. Matt decided to stand up and went straight towards him.'' "...................." ''Matt narrowed his eyes as he was preparing to grab his sword. He wanted to avoid violence since he wanted to keep Borgia alive, since he was not someone that will overcome great pain. Nevertheless, Borgia's nonchalant attitude made him tensed.'' ''Hearing Matt's acusation, Borgia suddenly let out a sacarstic and triumphant grin. Then, it was Matt's turn to be utterly surprised.'' ''His words shocked everyone in the room. Matt had his eyes widened in horror. Magilou bit the bottom of her lips. Gaius and Valnir looked at each other with shock. Katya remaine stoic, but still a small drop of sweat appeared on her forehead. They once thought that Borgia was the only important participant in the whole attack besides Melancholia, since he made the bomb in London while playing the two sides in his palms. They were wrong from the very beginning.'' ''All of a sudden, when Cardinal Borgia was savoring the victory, the door was slammed opened all of a sudden, with Maria, Adam and Eva rushed into the room with their sullen faces. Due to her sheer anger, Maria's face could be compared to a large red tomato... if tomato can glow like a large light bulb. Kaori, Yuri and Stiyl was following all of them in a face of horror. Everyone was startled as soon as they saw Maria entered the room, with the exception of Borgia, who still acted triumphantly.'' ''Maria's loud and wrathful voice started to echo in the entire room, and she clenched her fists in anger, just before slamming it on the desk. A hole was made on the metal desk, as its surface began to glow orange aura and started to melt like heated cheese.''
 * Matt: Lord Vaclav found your map for this project, although it's no longer in our hand. I know that you set several secret locations throughout this city. Where're you hiding that bomb?
 * Borgia: What bomb?
 * Matt: Borgia, what's Abel Nightroad and Carl Robinson have to do with all of this? Don't lie to me. Why did you kidnap Lidvia Lorenzetti and Bishop Busoni?
 * Higekiri.full.2271141.pngBorgia: I have no idea what you're talking about, Mr. Butcher.
 * Matt: They're not all powerful, you know. The Catholic Church, they can't keep you safe. Besides, what're the members of Langdon Orphans gonna think when they see the chief of staff in Firenza Blood attack behind bars?
 * Higekiri.full.2270484.pngBorgia: You think I'm the only chief of staff in this attack?
 * Borgia: All this time, and you really don't know anything, don't you? The Langdon Orphans are now in every corner of this city, hiding amongst the crowd. They're ALL chiefs of staffs. All of us plays an important role in our actions. One captured, and two or more others will take his place. This plan will still be in motion, even when I was captured. You'll lose. I'm just an expandable pawn in Mother Superior's great career and project. We all are.
 * 25ojp.jpgMaria: WHERE IS CARDINAL BORGIA!?
 * Kaori: No, no, not him! Not that guy that made the Firenza Blood weapon! No, not him!

''Turned out, Maria was sent into a flying rage as soon as she heard Cardinal Borgia, who was the one responsible for the Firenza Blood weapon, being captured. She, Adam and Eva were infuriated and immediately went to this man who foiled Arzonia Family's actions and tried to bargain with them so that he could get pardoned. Stiyl and Kaori were there trying to stop her, but they cannot catch their speed. Yuri was there because he was concerned.''

''No, there's no pardoning... not this time. Maria had it enough. She started to believe what Carl would do in such circumstances would be correct when dealing with a scumbag like Cardinal Borgia, a so-called neutral person who pretended to be neutral while playing on both sides. Maria now understood why Carl had a belief of "with us or against us".'' ''When Katya tried to stop Maria, she held her arm but then, she screamed and stepped back. The whole body of Maria was now sizzling hot to the point of overheated. It made blisters all over Katya's hand and she immediately used her healing abilities to cure her hands. Sumireko tried to stop Katya, but it was too late.Borgia sniffed with a grim smile.'' ''Borgia's nonchalant attitude disgusted Maria. Adam and Eva approached to the man with their respective weapons as well. The confrontation was about to ensue.'' ''Borgia chuckled as he looked at Adam and Eva, with a shameless smile on his face. As time past, people all grown irritated with him, but he seemed not fully bothered by the fact. He looked at Matt and then he looked at Maria and the Frankenstein Monsters beside her, before sniffed again with a scoff.'' Everyone looked at Borgia with death glare, but just before anyone else was about to take actions, Adam stepped further to Borgia with a face full of despise. ''Right after he finished his words, Adam drew a daggar as soon as he approached Borgia, stabbing the latters' hand with all his might. Due to the pain, Borgia finally stopped smiling. Instead, he screamed in horror like a injured beast.'' With a smile, Adam then raised his head with an angry glare, seemed to enjoy such a scream and painful expression let out by this amoral prisoner.
 * Maria: Right, tell us where Carl Robinson and Abel Nightroad currently are! What the heck did you Langdon Orphans do to Carl!? WHAT MADE CARL LIKE THAT?! Tell me now, or I guarentee you'll regret it... You immoral and unholy pest!
 * Katya: Arzonia, I've got this...
 * Sumireko: WAIT!
 * Higekiri.full.2197908.pngBorgia: Why bother, Ms. Arzonia? Cari is no longer who he was, not to mention that it is YOU who made him like this in the first place, haha... and clinging on him makes no good on you. Leave.
 * Maria: Carl is my family, not your tool! I did horrible things on him, I stripped his family away, and now I want to fix it to make myself his family so that I can atone my sins! But you... had took him from me! You are Nio are even worse than Michael!
 * I-frankenstein-clip.jpgBorgia: "Good cop, bad cop." That routine's a bit of tiresome, isn't it, ladies and gentlemen?
 * Adam: Yeah, but I'm not a cop, am I?
 * Borgia: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Adam: I'M A WARRIOR!

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile  <p style="text-align:center;"> Scotland Yard  <p style="text-align:center;"> Police Prestinct 

''The work of London Police, Russian Orthodox Church remnants, Anglican Church, Arzonia Family and the Witch Cult agents was ongoing when Maria stormed into the interrogation room along with Adam and Eva. Several police team set out to search for Abel at Waterloo Station before anyone got harmed.''

''However, sometimes enemies always strikes first, as they never wanted the heroes to ever succeeded. When Poison Ivy started to discuss the Water of Life and Patriarch Krans' blood with Noelle, they heard a loud cry, before they saw several police officers rolled into the door, with their whole body on fire. They rolled on the ground and screamed in pain and despair.'' ''Gasped, Ivy started to stare at the door like many others, before she widened her gaze in an apalling face. She saw Fiamma of the Right walking into the place with a smoke bomb inside his hand.'' ''Shocked, Vento, Krans and Ivy immediately rushed towards Fiamma, with several soldiers behind them, but it was too late. Soon, Fiamma threw the bomb. They had to stop because of the sudden puff smoke.''
 * Poison Ivy: What happened!?
 * Fiamma: Ladies and gentleman...
 * Vento, Krans & Ivy: Fiamma!?
 * Fiamma: The God's Right Hand is now in session.

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

''Adam pushed the tip of the blade into Borgia's hand with brute force. Borgia bit his lips till the point they began to bleed. He whimpered in pain, but he still remained defiant and wouldn't slip one single word.'' ''Eva immediately went closer to Adam to calm him down. Matt widened his eyes and looked at Adam, and Kaori was displeased at Adam's actions.'' ''Matt immediately blocked Kaori's way just as the latter started to reach Adam and Eva. Then, all others saw Adam continue to torture Borgia in fury. Gaius was also furious, and he immediately reached Borgia and slapped his face. Gaius was the one who heard about Borgia's words, and he finally had a chance to release his anger upon this wicked man.'' ''Adam continued to stare at Borgia, and he didn't pull the knife out. He kept pushing the life in. Borgia's hand was bleeding, but he didn't say any words, only glaring at Adam in a look full of hate.'' ''Gaius then walked to Adam and tried to say some words, but suddenly, the whole building began to shake. Heat kept pouring from the outside corridor.'' ''Gaius walked passed by Maria and Katya, followed by Yuri, Kaori and Matt. They rushed into the hall of Scotland Yard immediately, finding that the hall was full of smoke. In the center, Krans, Ivy and Vento were leading soldiers to fight off Fiamma.'' ''Meanwhile, Vaclav, Seth, Magilou, Sumireko, the Knight Leader, Acqua and Misha helped the police to evacuate people who cannot fight, plus Princess Rimea, Princess Villian and Esther. Gaius tried to reach closer. However, he failed since Fiamma's large red claw grabbed Poison Ivy and slammed her towards Gaius.'' ''Ivy yelled at Gaius, but before Gaius could dodge it, Ivy landed on Gaius and made him fell. Gaius immediately pulled himself from Ivy's "bearhug" and stood up. Kaori and Matt helped Ivy to stand up. Krans and Vento were still fighting Fiamma with their wind magic.'' ''Feeling the situation is urgent, Yuri quickly retreated back to the interrogation room before Fiamma could notice him, and he opened the door. He was then surprised by what he saw, seeing Stiyl, Katya and Adam fighting each other inside the room. More precisely, Stiyl and Katya tried to make Adam to calm down.'' ''Stiyl and Katya pushed an infuriated Adam onto the wall by force, while Borgia grabbed his injured hand and shivered on his seat. Valnir, Maria and Eva had surrounded Borgia, threatening him with their own weapons.'' ''Before Eva could activated her lantern hammer which could release electricity, Yuri interrupted the mess and shouted out. Everyone went quiet immediately when they saw Yuri. It was apparent that the situation was urgent.'' Hearing this, Katya and Stiyl immediately released Adam and stop strainning him with magic chains. ''Stiyl and Katya then followed Yuri and leave the room. Adam then grabbed the arm of Borgia, while Eva grabbed the other arm. Maria extended her arm and tried to push Borgia's head down, but suddenly, her shoulder started to hurt. In a painful face, he grabbed her shoulder and clenched her teeth. Eva immediately looked at Maria with concern.'' ''Adam quickly pushed down the head of Borgia with his spared left hand. Maria then summoned her fiery sword and placed it beside Borgia's neck.'' ''Maria then oversaw the escort mission as she walked carefully out of the room with her friends. Outside of the room, Matt was holding a wet towel to cover his mouth, crouching beside Ivy, Vento and Krans, with the latter also with a towel on his mouth. Fiamma was nowhere to find, and Krans had reverted back to his human form once more.'' ''Maria carefully snuck herself beside Krans, and she whispered to him carefully. Krans looked around. He was not a born-to-be magician, so he had to cover his nose and mouth to avoid breathing in those gas. Noelle was there, too, holding her Water Armateus crystal but didn't transform. Acqua, Sumireko, Seth, Magilou and some others were not there. They were either escorting the citizens or fighting off against Langdon Orphans outside, or else.'' With an unsettling feelings inside her mind, Maria and others then gathered together and looked around, while slowly trying to pace towards the gate, when suddenly, they heard Fiamma's bellow. ''Maria looked around and frowned her eyebrows. She tried to maintain calmness and endure the pain brought by her injuries. She then whispered to Matt.'' Maria then looked around and looked at Adam, who was trying to subdue Borgia along with Eva. Before Adam and Eva could proceed, Borgia closed his eyes and shouted out in horror. ''Eva slapped Borgia with brute force, forcing him to fall into silence. Maria was still calling Fiamma as the rest of the gang began to retreat, save for Katya, Valnir, Yuri, Matt and Gaius.'' ''Fiamma immediately responded Maria's call. He seemed very infuriated.'' Valnir raised his staff and looked around, preparing for Fiamma's next strike. ''Then, Valnir widened his eyes quickly raised his staff, pointing it at the top, just in time Fiamma leaped from the ceiling. Fiamma was hit by Valnir's spell and was sent away, and he was sent to the wall five meters away. However, he quickly stood up from the ground and summoned a large fiery sword in his hand.'' Krans immediately turned back and transformed into his wind armateus form, raising his sword and blocked Fiamma's way. Adam was shocked to find that Krans joined the fight as well, just as Krans, Matt, Katya surrounded Fiamma, like lions surrounding a wild bull, and fought him intensely.
 * Black.Berserker.full.2315973.jpgAdam: Talk!

 * Yuri: All of you, stop this right now!

 * Maria: Where is Fiamma?
 * Fiamma_2.jpgKrans: We lost him, but I have a feeling that he's still here.
 * Fiamma: (voice) You! Arzonia, you're trying to corrupt the Catholic Church! All of you, with your weakness! Your compromise! This country was a sacred land for Catholic Church once, until King Henry VIII turned his back to us! Now, you're helping those who followed what he had set up, Arzonia?
 * Maria: All right, that's enough of all this. Matt, um... you take Borgia to the garage along with Adam, Stiyl, Kaori, Krans, Noelle, Ivy, Mother Vento and Eva. Leave me, Yuri and the Witch Cult here to take down Fiamma.
 * Matt: I'm not leaving you here. Besides, don't forget about your injury...

''Using their acrobatic skills, the clowns from Merry Melody, led by Helene Hawthorn, now fought with the minions of Fiamma of the Right in the streets. There was a KnightWalker Family soldier who fired a shot at Helene, but Helene immediately dodged the bullet as she twisted her own body like a clay, before she raised her clawed hand and leaped to the soldier.'' ''Yelling in rage, Helene rushed to the soldier like an arrow. Letting out a roar, she grabbed his helmet and scratched his cheek with her fingernail.'' ''There were several serious scratches left on the face of the soldier, and they started to glow chormatic aura like crystal. Other soldiers rushed towards her, but they were attacked and subdued either by the clowns or Helene herself, who kicked them and scratched their faces.'' ''Soon, the soldier's face started to glow into bright colors before their body began to twist... into human statues of cubist styles.'' ''What became of the soldiers greatly resembled a cubist artwork by the legendary Spanish artist, Pablo Piccasso. Sighed with a smile, Helene looked at the statues that were once soldiers. She carefully and closely observed the statues with a mischievous smile, being an artisan admiring her own work.'' With her old habit slipped back, Helene started to admire herself in a pink face, but a masked clown poked her with his finger tip. ''The clown pointed at several children not far away, and Helene immediately observed at the children. Those children seemed to be scared of Helene's way of fighting, which made them shivered and flinched.'' ''While speaking, Helene then raised her hand and touched the mud on the ground, which soon started to form into action figures. Her fond of children was still there even after her circus no longer stayed active in Sleepy Hollow.'' ''Smiled at the children, Helene then gave a quick fingersnap summoned several balloons, lollipops and cotton candy that all came from nowhere. She put them into the hands of her clown minions, and they gave those to the children. She didn't saw a man standing not far away, looking at her in silence. It was the Knight Leader, alongside other knights, who took Princess Villian's order to fight against the God's Right Seat.'' ''With a heartwarming smile, Helene gave children colorful helium balloons one by one The children all stopped acting scared. They saw no intentions of harm from Helene and her clowns, and they all got their balloons, popcorn and candy with joy. Helene laughed as well as the aura around her began to brighten. Now, she felt she had become a child once again, and her eyes turned watery, filled with tears of joy.'' ''Feeling the joy of these children, Helene cried and laughed in estacy, and she started to mumble and seemed to converse with her mother, though no woman was there. The Knight Leader was confused and walked towards her.'' ''The smile on Helene immediately faded when she heard the man's voice. She seemed alerted by the Knight Leader's word and stood up. She then showed a brush at him with a dangerous sign.'' ''The Knight Leader immediately raised his hands. He saw the clowns all glared at him. Some of them even breathed deeply. It was apparent that they were very much offended by the Knight Leader's words. Helene let out a smug smirk.'' ''Slowly leaving her own fantasy, Helene then closed her eyes and stopped smiling. She looked at the ruins and started to lament. The real world was still in war, after all.'' ''Helene then started to mummur, but then she started to remember something. She quickly walked towards the Knight Leader with a face of fear. The clowns all lowered their head and sighed in sadness.'' Helene pointed at the burnt corpse of Bishop Biagio Busoni not far away with a face of sadness. The Knight Leader and his knights all began to feel shock when they saw the twisted and burnt body of Biagio Busoni.

Act 4 - Guinevere Arzonia
<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile

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

''Hiding behind the wall, Maria looked at the drunken and obese man with shock in her eyes. She never expected that she would meet him here. The man who had abandoned her and her mother, the man she hated the most... Patron Paul Arzonia... walked inside the streets with horror and madness, holding an empty glass of chianti.'' Matt and Krans both reacted in shock as soon as they heard Maria's words, but Maria immediately pressed their mouths hard with both of her palms as soon as she felt they were about to scream. ''Whispering in shock, Maria looked at Krans while she seemed to be utterly panicking. Her tears started to roll in her eyes, and Krans decided not to ask. He and Matt looked at each other as Maria covered her face, mumbling something to herself.'' Maria quickly cooled herself down and wiped her tears from her cheeks and turned back, closing her eyes with a sigh. ''Matt and Krans immediately realized what Maria was on about. Since this man that somehow cried in the alley - if he's really Maria's father - was the one who disowned Maria's pregnant mother and her unborn child, and he never even know about his daughter. They saw Maria held her blade in her hand tightly. There were definitely reasons for her to kill this man.'' ''However, she didn't. Instead, Maria let her father to be since her father already received his own punishment, no matter the reason. The priority for Maria was to find Carl and Abel, above all else.'' ''Matt and Krans nodded and were ready to set out, before they suddenly heard a scream from the man. Maria suddenly stopped. She felt something inside her had told her something was wrong. After all, that man was her father.'' Before Matt, Krans and Maria were looking at each other with confusion, they suddenly heard another voice, but it was more of a female voice. ''Krans suddenly heard the female voice, which is full of malice and insanity. His instinct told Krans that the woman - no matter who she was - was definitely not someone who is pleasant at all.  Krans was so shocked that he immediately let out a mumble, but he was even more confused when he saw Maria's face went pale. Her face's expression changed. This time, she seemed agitated.'' ''Without any meaning of answering Matt's question, Maria immediately turned back into the alley and went towards where her father previously stood. She suddenly widened her eyes in shock.'' ''Krans followed Maria's pace with a worried face, as Matt was following him. They they stopped, and they saw Maria widened her eyes in shock. They realized why as soon as they saw her father dropped on the ground, trembling and bleeding, before he stopped moving and breathing. Then, the person who killed him, that mysterious female figure, licked the blood from her blade with an intoxicated expression.'' "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
 * X0b55b31ee9ewb2333c4b7459465a130ccfc1e178a526.pngMaria: Father...
 * Paul: Oh, no... no... why did I do this... This is such a misery...
 * Maria: Hush, I don't want him to know why I am here... but I thought he was dead... My brothers told it to me...
 * Saber.(Fate.Prototype).full.2257047.pngMaria: Ah, Maria, me, calm myself... Stop talking about my deplorable father or my abusive brothers in front of myself. I have some part of them living inside of me, indeed, but they never gave me or my mother any affections or kindness. My mother died because of them... My true father is God himself, since he sent me my true family. My real brothers... are Matt, Acqua and Carl among many other kind people... They showed me kindness, trust and loyalty, and I will show my true loyalty, trust and kindness to them as my gratitude! I will never betray anyone or anything I cared about!
 * Maria: That's none of our business. Patriarch, Matt, please, we must hurry. Let him be his own drunkard.
 * Maria: Let's go.
 * Maria: What happened?
 * Saber.(Fate.Prototype).full.2248318.png???: Hahahahahaha... You pig! This serves you right! I'll end your suffering right now!
 * Krans: What's going on?
 * Maria: No... no... It can't be... She's here... She's here.
 * Matt: Who?
 * Krans: What happened?
 * ???: So sweet and tasty... I wonder if your blood tastes the same... Sister. It's a shame that you're a black sheep of our family.

Krans and Matt both looked at each other before looking at Maria, shocked.

Meanwhile, Maria let out a scream in horror as soon as she saw the person clearer.
 * Krans: Sister?



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

Glaring at the woman whose name was Guinevere, Maria immediately let out an expression of horror and raised her staff, which she had just summoned as soon as she managed to recognzied the person. ''Maria quicky yelled at Guinevere in a face of anger. Now, as her father was dead, she don't need to worry about her exposure any longer. She just want to face the evil woman in front of her. Guinevere shrugged her own shoulder in a carefree manner.'' Hearing these two quarelling, Matt and Krans looked at such an argument with a face of confusion, but Matt calmed himself down almost immediately and walked to Maria. Maria shook her head with a sad sigh. ''Guienevere heard this and narrowed her gaze. She glared at Maria in a furious death glare, which is so similar to Maria's glare. Guinevere stands one head shorter than Maria, but she's no less scary in her own way.'' ''Maria then realized that Helene had been appeared and missing again and again. She was preventing Guinevere from finding her. Maria heard Guinevere's words and shook her head. She then turned to look at Krans with a serious look.'' ''Guinevere smiled deviously and drew her sword, raising it to the sky, chuckling. Then, her smile faded into a cold and harsh expression.'' Guinevere then pointed the tip of her sword to the dead Patron Arzonia lying on the ground. ''Guinevere then slowly lifted the blade to Maria and narrowed her gaze, biting her lips. Acting as if she is a righteous person, Guinevere looked at Maria in a cold smile.''
 * Maria: Why in the world are you here!? I haven't seen you for four years!
 * Guinevere: My, my, how could you develop a family when you're so mean to your very own sister, Maria?
 * Maria: You're not my family. I came to realize that the family is about love and trust, but you have none of these qualities. Besides, you and I share the different mother, Guinevere, and your mother is corrupt while I already disregard that the man you killed is my father.
 * Matt: Sorry to interrupt, but I heard this lady called you "sister", Maria... but you had never mentioned her to me... to anyone else
 * Maria: Right, I never mentioned her, because she's not my family at all. She's a distant relative to me, not a sister. She never tries to comfort me. Guinevere is an embodiment of that worm-like filth of crime... which my former corrupt family represents!
 * Guinevere: I know you're going to say this to me, and yet if you joined me, you'll never ever suffer under those three bastards. I'm a much, much better person than they are. That little artist said something similar to me, and she's so vigorous trying to stop me to you.
 * Maria: According to my Godmother, Vento, this Guinevere Arzonia is the daughter of my father's first wife, but he later divorced her as soon as she's pregnant, and he married the woman that mothered my three so-called brothers. So, in a way, she's similar to me. In spite of this, Guinevere's mother is corrupt. She just don't know how to teach her brat what's right and what's wrong. I met Guinevere four years ago, when she went to my brothers for shelter. Ha, Vento claimed that her mother committed suicide because of Guinevere's own expense, pretty vampiric expense... that sucked every penny out of that mean lady. She has everything I didn't have, but still, it can't justified the fact that she's just like King Lear's first two daughters, disowning her mother and made her commit suicide. My brother never want to adopt her since they saw her as a threat that would consume their entire fortune for her own weapons and supplies. We met only once, but I never like her, and I guess she never liked me, either.
 * Guinevere: That's already four years ago. I'm no longer who I am. I'm now one of the many members in Langdon Orphans, as that Pope Michael is a lot more generous that those three fools and a lot more sensible than you. It's their own loss for not letting me to join their ring. Pope Michael had taught me many things. He understand me, and now, Guinevere Arzonia in front of you is no longer that brat years ago.
 * Saber.(Miyamoto.Musashi).full.2203085.pngGuinevere: Maria, I know you're too kind and too noble... and therefore, you won't kill your own father, since there is no need to do so. However, I won't let him go so easy. Befroe those three freaks took you in, they drove out father himself to take over his fortune, and thus he's now such a drunken mess in front of you. Therefore, I think I'll get my own hand dirty so that you'll feel better... but perhaps you don't. That's the problem.
 * Guinevere: You know why I drove my mother out? She's weak... she can't fight. She only has their money grubbed from those people that was oppressed by her, so I'm there to take them away, sucking her bit by bit so that she'll feel what is be like to be poor. I know his second wife is no saint either, and she never cares about you, either. She abused you often along with her three sons. You should be grateful for it, since before I entered your house, I manipulated her car accident which killed her. As for my mother, his first wife, she's nothing but a sack, and my father did divorce her for a good reason. As for your mother, she's nothing but a whoring--

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

''Before Guinevere could finish, Maria suddenly gave the latters' face a heavy slap. She angrily narrowed her gaze and glared at Guinevere in anger.''

As a result of this heavy slap, Guinevere had her face tilted a little bit, as Matt and Krans immediately went to Maria and started to urge her. As Matt was thinking about lies to make Maria get out of such a mess as soon as possible, Guinevere touched her cheek, where a large red mark was left as a result of Maria's slap, and she grinned. Maria, Matt and Krans quickly stopped struggling and then they looked at Guinevere, who acted in a much colder expression on her face. <p style="text-align:center;"> '- Guinevere: The Sabbat's Curse is also inside you, like me! Like all of those with Arzonia Blood!'
 * Maria: My mother is one of the best women I have ever met. At least, I never hate her like how you hate your mother simply with those petty excuses! Don't you dare insult her!
 * Matt: Maria, I remembered that we're late for afternoon tea in the house of Missus... uh, Mrs. Jane Doe's house, remember? We don't need to really get into the quarelling...
 * Guinevere: It's also inside you, right?
 * Maria: What do you mean?

''Shocked, Maria immediately widened her eyes and gulped. Matt and Krans both reacted with a pale face as soon as they heard the word, "Sabbat". Seth had already mentioned the word to them, and they heard Guinevere mentioning them again.'' ''Switching to her much calmer personality, Guinevere now acted like someone so polite, that if you don't knows what she had done all these years, you might sit down and chat with her, while drinking a nice cup of tea.  Maria tried to mumble something after Guinevere had her words finished. However, she couldn't, as if there was a fish bone stuck inside her throat. With a cold face, Guinevere then walked to Maria and leaned herself closer to Maria.'' ''Guinevere was only one inch closer to Maria's face now. Maria narrowed her eyes to Guinevere in anger, as if she was looking at a mad dog.'' Guinevere then stepped back in a calm face and looked at Maria with her icy blue eyes. ''Matt had enough Guinevere's accusations and could not push down his fury anymore. He immediately lifted his blade and tried to slice Guinevere. However, his blade hit the blade of Guinevere, who raised her blade as a defense.'' ''As she was shouting out the above words, Guinevere started to fought with Matt as the two began to exist the alley and went to the wider road. Their blades hit each others' blades and Matt had to dodge the attack, while he focused himself on those attacks while calming himself down from the '' ''Krans and Maria immediately went to the battle summoned her holy halo and her wings of fire, before rushing out to Guinevere, knocking her away from Matt, but Guinevere regained her own balace and turned to Krans, before she drew another blade to attack him. However, Maria immediately kicked Guinevere's hand and flew high above the sky. She wide opened her arms, and she widened her eyes.'' The giagantic halo on her head started to change its shape.
 * Guinevere: Oh, there're many things between our ancestors and the Sabbat. Are you clearly you don't know?
 * Guinevere: It's apparent that Abel Nightroad never told you such. Well, Cain Nightroad told all of these things to me, Maria. Centuries ago, our ancestors of the old Arzonia Family made some sort of a pact between them and the leader of Sabbat Clan vampires, in order to gain wealth and power to satisfy their own greed. Nevertheless, all harvest without any sow have a cost, as the leader of Sabbat Clan had took their own sanity as a price. Overall, plenty of Arzonia ended up as psychopath as a result, it's just some of us are controling them.
 * Saber.(Miyamoto.Musashi).full.2197773.jpgGuinevere: However, I don't call it as some so-called psychopathy, Maria. I call it a gift. I call it a strength. I know its origin, and I know I'm very special comparing to those normal people out there, Maria. You can look into my eyes, and you'll know I'm not crazy. I'm not our brothers. They're all a bunch of sick losers who only cares for money, but I'm in a different world of them. I have a goal.
 * Guinevere: I actually want to rebuild Arzonia Family to its former glory, and yet as soon as I heard you rebuilt Arzonia Family, but in a way of helping those weaklings... I'm so infuriated. Whenever I saw the weak, I'll make them scare of me. This is the way you should do as a leader! Therefore, I should be the hero of this story, Maria. Your own charity is useless! Think about all you did to Carl Robinson. Isn't that a great slap on your own face to see him turning against you?
 * Matt: SHUT UP!!!
 * Guinevere: However, isn't what I said is true, Matt Butcher? Maria killed Carl's parents and made him fell into despair, before making her a family of his! Such hypocrisy! She should be the one who shut up so that people like you won't have their mind poisoned by her useless sermons, and you're still here defending her!
 * Krans: Matt, wait!
 * Maria: Chain Viper!

I highly suspect that God was crying... for some unfortunate souls. At the time, I was very young. After losing my brother, I devoted myself to the church and was already a nun in Department of Inquisition...

''Vento finished her tales and closer her eyes, sighed. Magilou and Maria looked at eaach other after the tale was finished.'' Vento sighed in sadness. ''Maria then lowered her head and kept silent. She was still breathing heavily. She was angry and shocked that Vento lied to her about the death of Guinevere's mother. Magilou then walked towards Maria and looked at her in '' ''Maria sighed and covered her face with her palm. She then realized that she was too reckless trying to figure out the answer.'' Vento shook her head calmly. "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ''Vento nodded and closed her eyes. Esther stood silently beside her, listening to every words.'' Esther, who remained silent for quite a while, then covered her face sadly. Esther's words made everyone surprised, even including Vento, who widened her eyes in shock. After speaking her informations, Esther then closed her eyes in sadness. Maria then put her hand on her chin and thought about Guinevere's claims on Arzonia Family's inner darkness. ''Maria then immediately clenched her fists and slammed it at the table. Clenching her teeth angrily, she started to curse Guinevere.'' ''Maria then closed her eyes and pressed the metal table further. Her body tempreture rose beyond control, to the point of melting the table beneath her. Guinevere closed her eyes and bit her lips in anger. She then looked at her injured shoulder. The injury was healing, but it was still retaining.  Hearing this, Helene, Magilou, Vento and Esther smiled and looked at each other, seeing a potential danger was taken out for now.'' People looked at each other and nodded.
 * Magilou: Maria, Vento saved you...
 * Vento: That's the end of story. In fact, I killed the mother of Guinevere... so that you'll be safe. That woman deserve to die, Maria, and her daughter is even worse.
 * Magilou: Not every revenge are out of sympathetic reasons, Maria. Vento killed her for saving your mother... and the child inside her. Guinevere spoke this to you as she wanted YOU to kill Vento for lying to you, Maria, but we cannot let her to win. 
 * Saber.(Miyamoto.Musashi).full.2249181.png: I'm sorry, Godmother... I... I was too shocked that I lashed out at you.
 * Vento: No, I'm sorry. I lied to you simply because I want to keep you away from Guinevere as much as possible... and I don't want you to remember me as a murderer, so I fabricated a lie that Guinevere's mother took her own life. In fact, I have it coming, perhaps, but you're not. It might justify the reason that Guinevere hates me, but it can never explain why she hates you. I know the reason. All these years, Guinevere hated you because you were an illegiminate child. In fact, she's the firstborn of Arzonia Family.
 * Maria: Firstborn?
 * Vento: I only regret lying to you, but not regret killing Guinevere's mother. According to my investigations, the mother of Guinevere, a woman from Picador Crime Family, is already a scum on Earth, someone you would despise if you ever knew whatever she did... She was married to Paul Arzonia, your father. However, before Guinevere was born, your father deserted her and married another woman instead, and his second wife mothered three sons... Arzonia Brothers. 
 * Esther: Mother Vento was right. Guinevere and her mother are not someone you could sympathize with. I once investigated her as soon as she joined Langdon Orphans, since I had problems believing in her.
 * Esther: Vento is right. Arzonia Brothers' mother, that Lady Arzonia who used you as a maid, was your father's second and last wife, until they were driven out by their sons, as you know. Now, both of them died, but Guinevere's hatred still existed, so much that Mother Superior had to keep her inside the Star of Bethlehem for training, in order to control her madness.
 * Esther: I investigated her only because she was a serious matter, but I was yet to realize that Langdon Orphans was a horrid pit with everyone - including me - are no saints. However, I know that the seed of darkness is growing. Guinevere's mother lost her supposed title, and her child lost her place in the family. That's why she hated Arzonia Brothers and even you... She believes she's the only legal Arzonia in the world.
 * Maria: So that's why she chose to embrace the darkness inside the original Arzonia Family's veins... not because of savage fun, but because of her hatred against me and Vento.
 * Maria: But that shouldn't be excuses for what she did today! Her mother deserves to die since she wants to kill MY mother! Now, it's so obvious that Guinevere just want to carry on her mother's petty revenge...
 * Maria: I have already suffered from the consequences brought by my idiotic emotions, which blinded my own judgement... I'll never forgive Guinevere or her mother... She has to pay for her sins of killing Lidvia... and trying to turn me against my benefactor!
 * Magilou: Even so, we know how manipulative and cunning this Guinevere actually is... We must be careful. She's less irrational than Nio, but she's infinitely more unpredicable, devious and dangerous. We must never let our guard down, guys. Now, we should rescue our friends from danger, and we musn't let our feelings to blind our judgements!

''Matt turned his head and looked at Fiamma in a face of sheer rage. Fiamma was now trapping the whole city of London with the Star of Bethlehem before forcing them to watch.''
 * Krans: No, Fiamma! You maniac! What're you doing? Stop!
 * Fiamma: This country is now going into a state of barren, and I need to make it into chaos so that we can create a new order out of it. You're blinding yourself, Patriarch Krans. You spoke too much about the peace, but you really think that you can let all fights ceased?

''The dome itself began to form above the floating castle, and Fiamma stood up from his seat with an arrogant smile full of delusional grandeur.

''In an inhumane speed, Krans immediately raised his sword and charged at Fiamma.

Melancholia took a glance filled with despise, before she lifted the right side of her mouth.'' ''Meanwhile, Maria stopped her fight with Carl, since she found Carl stopped all of a sudden when he heard Melancholia's speech. Maria looked at Carl and narrowed her eyes.''
 * Melancholia: [I know people outside like you wants to take my head, since Arzonia claimed that I'm the one who wants to drown you all in tears. Her words are absolutely faulty, my dear friends. In this world now pludged into the chaos, you can only trust me, the second of command in the Catholic Church.]
 * Maria: What's she planning?


 * Maria: (think) * It must be Melancholia and her minions who took control of him, but... *

''Maria's thoughts was interrupted all of a sudden, as she was drenched by guilt once more, the guilt from that night after she unwillingly killed Carl's parents. Carl never knew the truth behind this murder, as he did not know she was coerced by her brothers to do the dirty job.'' Still holding Maria inside his hands as he grabbed her neck, Carl sharpened his eyes in sheer distress as he saw Melancholia interrupted the chance for him to seek vengence for his adoptive parents, who were very few people that showed true affections to him when he was younger.
 * 66060256_p3_master1200.jpgCarl: Tsk... She's wasting my time... What is she planning, anyway?

While everyone looked upon the screen on the sky, Melancholia fell into silence for a while before she raised her hand. ''Hearing this, Maria, Carl, Gaius, Yuri, Magilou, Kruls and Katya all raised their head. They took a look at the Star of Bethlehem right above the sky, before they took a look at the choromatic dome that went across the sky, blocking sunlight.''
 * Melancholia: [20 minutes later, a bomb shall be triggered in London, carrying demonic curse that shall affect every single Londenders of yours, unless you go on a hunting party. This city is trapped, and you'll be unable to make any attempt to leave.]

Carl never know about the dome, so even he was upset. ''After take a 360 degrees view on the dome, Carl then gave a death glare at Melancholia's face on the screen. Maria suddenly narrowed her eyes and bit her lips when she saw Carl's expression changed all of a sudden.''
 * Trim.jpgEvil Carl: That dreaful dome... It was all because of that star-like thing above us. She wants to trap us here... That witch...

''However, before Maria could speak anything on this, Melancholia then chuckled once again, interrupting the mind of Maria. She then went closer to the screen and licked her lips in joy.''
 * IMG_4420.jpgMelancholia: [However, this is just a last resort of ours. If you don't follow my game, this will be like just a child's play. I'm really sorry for so many people demise, and I'm here to tell you who should be blamed! The ones who forced our hand to cause such a havoc shall be all presented on the screen, waiting for you all to capture them and sentence them, fufu... I tell you this. Each of them has a bounty marked with stars as their rating. Each of a star equal wholly 100,000,000 pounds! ]

''Hearing this, many people around the groups of the New Arzonia Family and the Witch Cult all yelled in awe, while Melancholia sat herself on her chair in a relaxing and lazy smile. She lifted a cup of wine in her hand.'' ''As Melancholia used her seductive and impressive costalo voice to give out her message, many people not far away started to widened their eyes in awe. Somehow, their eyes were full of golden shines. Carl then turned his head away in disgust.'' ''Maria could not answer. Her head was about to explode as the citizens' reactions drove her into disappointment and even despair. Katya looked at Maria and frowned her eyebrows, as she deeply felt how much sorrow there was inside Maria's heart.'' Before Katya could say something to comfort Maria, her voice was interruped by Melancholia.
 * Melancholia: [This game won't stop until you get all of them to my place, dead or alive. I'll reward you with great amount of wealth. After you all captured them, I'll make this dome to fade and give you the cure. Before that, no one shall quit the game, unless you all want to stand against me. Killing me is another choice, but at first, catch me if you can...]
 * Evil Carl: Look at this, Arzonia. The people you're protecting is about to turn against you, like how they turned against me!
 * Katya: Maria...

''Maria was shocked to find Matt's bounty poster, as Matt was already being captured by Michael's forces and sent to the Star of Bethlehem. However, soon she realized that this was particularly a ruse set by Melancholia in order to tempt people into a target they'll never captured on the ground.'' ''All kind of people trapped inside the city watched the video recorded by Melancholia, and depends on their different identity, their expressions and words of reaction were different as well. Most of the citizens were shocked, but the criminals started to cackle out of greed and excitement.'' Magilou looked around in confusion and widened her gaze, seeing the citizens and other people were shocked and/or tempted by those bounty poster. Maria immediately turned to see Carl in a face of shock, trembled as he spoke the words in a cold and callous face like an uncaring and wholly loveless demon king. Maria suddenly widened her eyes as soon as she herad Carl's words.

 * Maria: W-what's about to come?

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Evil Carl: The Beast from the Sea. '

''Maria suddenly felt a strain inside her throat. Carl was speaking in a firm tone, and she believed he was telling the truth. She didn't know if the Beast from the Sea is literally a sea monster or something else, but definitely she seemed no good.'' ''Maria now had no certainty which was worse - to face Carl when he went into a mindless and wrathful rampage, or to face Carl when he acted such cold and callous. Melancholia made a pause and smiled in a dark manner, as if she had saw Carl accepting the idea that humans are evil.'' Before Maria could explain, her voice was interrupted by Melancholia, unfortunately
 * Evil Carl: I once was saddened and despaired as soon as I heard from that Fiamma of the Right that I was betrayed by my own comrades-in-arms, but now I don't care anymore. I blame it on the faulty on humans. You're a human, I'm a human, and they're also human beings. What is the difference between us and them?
 * Maria: Carl, the thing is--
