Act 1 - Torment
Despite Maria was shouting this as she was retaining her own sanity, her spiritual body was controlled by Melancholia as the latter stand not far away with a smile. ​As Melancholia gleefully pulling her invisible strings that was tied on Maria, Carl and Matt made cover for the others' way to reach the Grand Grimoire, and they tried to stop Maria's unwilling rampage.
 * Teresa_Cut-in_(ToB).pngMaria: MATT! CARL! ALL OF YOU! RUN AWAY FROM ME!
 * Melancholia: Hmm, I don't know that I cannot control your sanity and corrupt it, Maria, but I am still glad to see this, attacking your own friends while trying not to do so!
 * Melancholia: I WILL MAKE YOU A MONSTER AND SUFFER THE FATE THAT I HAVE SUFFERED! I WILL PROVE THAT ALL IT TAKES IS ONE BAD DAY!

''Maria closed her eyes as her tears started to stream down. However, Acqua, Magilou, Sforza and Aureolus soon found themselves trapped in the crystalized wall.''
 * Maria: Melancholia, you ARE NOT THIS monster! Let me go! You are Plaisir, not this horrid monster that is pulling the strings!

Despite Maria's desperate pledge, Melancholia's good counterpart still remained dormant, as her evil counterpart had gleefully moving her hands, wriggling her fingers and control Maria like a stringed puppet.
 * Matt: Dammit! Don't make me to this!

''Trying to find the invisible strings that Melancholia was controlling Maria, Matt looked at Maria stuggled against the evil fairy's control and raised his sword to block Maria's attack, but he never tried to attack her. Carl, on the other hand, tried to reach Melancholia.''
 * Raven_rf_by_kurokitsune777-d6bmuvt.pngCarl: Melancholia, you dirty, evil and rotten COWAAAAAAAAAAAARD! LEAVE MARIA ALONE, NOW!!

Under Melancholia's control, Maria immediately raisded her staff, which now it was black and pink, before she started summoning a corrupt version of the Light of Justice - a "light" that was dark pink - and struke it at her friends, all the while she was severly panicked and tormented.

As Carl was reaching Melancholia, Melancholia used her spared left hand and raised her spear, which blocked the right hand of Carl. ''Melancholia stood up from her seat. Her left hand was controlling Maria, but her right hand was raising the Spear of Sin and shielded herself from Carl's attack. Melancholia smiled wickedly as she turned her head to Carl, seeing his shocked and enraged face.''
 * Melancholia: Are you surprised? Are you feeling unnerved?

Melancholia then spoke in a savage glee. ''Tormenting Carl with some of his worst memories, the evil Melancholia raised her spear and attacked Carl with one hand, all the while controlling Maria to attack Matt. It was apparent that she could do two things at one time. Meanwhile, Magilou looked at the invisible wall before she raised her hand immediately.'' Narrowed his eyes, Acqua immediately raised his large sword and prepared to attack the invisible wall. ''However, suddenly, a "BANG" had occured and Acqua felt pain on his shoulder, so painful that he immediately fell down on the ground. Maria took a glance at Acqua. She could now only control her eyeballs for now.'' ''It was Melancholia, who had paused the control of Maria and used her left hand to took a gun out of her pocket. She shot Acqua's shoulder with the gun, and grinned sadistically.'' ''Seemly freed from the control of Melancholia for a while, Maria was so stressed that she immediately collapsed on the ground, crying in despair. Her torso and limbs could not move, but her head could still move. She turned to look at Melancholia with hatred in her eyes.'' ''Maria closed her eyes and then, she heard Plaisir crying in despair inside Melancholia's mind. After shooting Acqua, Melancholia then started to fight against Carl with both of her arms, while Maria and Acqua were collapsed on the ground.'' ''Maria closed her eyes with tears in her eyes. She did not know Matt was reaching towards her.'' ''Matt immediately ran towards Maria, and she heard his footsteps, but she was too shocked and ashamed to face him. Maria lowered her head and avoid to show her disfigured face to Matt, all the while crying.'' ''In shame, Maria lowered her head even more and she bit her lips in sadness. However, Matt put his hand on her chin and slowly lit up her face. He did not seemed bothered by Maria's disfigurement at all.'' ''Maria widened her eyes. Her eyes were now in two colors; her right eye was bluish green, as normal, but the left eye above her disfigured cheek was light pink in color. Matt smiled at her, as if nothing matters.'' Matt then smiled again, though this time it seemed sadly enough.
 * Maxresdefault_(3)ooj-o.jpgMelancholia: My poor dear Esther must gone tough under your care, and I need to thank you with it. Also, I need to thank you for killing that traitor, Noelle Bor. After that, YOU'LL EAT SPIKES!
 * [[File:Jeanne_alter_and_ruler_fate_grand_order_and_fate_series_drawn_by_minato_666_sample-9d8ac2b5fbf4a822b2ef95c4b877c3d1.jpg|thumb|300px]]Magilou: Now, we are running out of time. We must get out of here fast!
 * Acqua: I will break this wall right now!
 * Maria: Acqua!
 * Melancholia: I tell you this. No one is going to leave here alive! No one shall stop the plan of His Holiness! NEVER EVER!
 * IMG_2883.jpgMaria: You...
 * Plaisir: [Please! Let it end! I don't want to do this! It is a fate worse than death!]
 * Maria: Looks like I am not the only puppet in here...
 * Matt: Maria?
 * Matt: It's okay, Maria. You are strong-willed.
 * Maria: ¡No! ¡Por favor! ¡No me mires! Soy tan horrible... (No! Please! Don't look at me! I'm so hideous...)
 * Matt: Maria, I have something that I did not tell you before.
 * Sascha_Vykos_VTES.jpgMatt: My blade, known as the Blade of Karma, is my parents' legacy. They were killed by a car crash so many years ago, but somehow... whenever I thought of my parents, a sinister name started to surface in my mind, which spells "Sascha Vykos"...
 * Maria: Sascha Vykos... I never heard that name before.
 * Matt: Me neither, but it caught my curiousity. I believe there are some truth behind all this. In fact, I, too, want the Grand Grimoire, but unlike Carl, I am more focusing on the war we are facing instead of my dark past. I promise, after we put an end to the evil KnightWalker Family's reign of terror, 

''Beside them, Melancholia fought against Carl among many others, all the while ignoring Maria who was on the ground. Magilou and Aureolous were helping Acqua with his wound, while Carl and Sforza fought against Melancholia.''
 * [[File:Jeanne_alter_and_ruler_fate_grand_order_and_fate_series_drawn_by_shiguru_sample-0a2001f61e30bd3704d744c057a78b86.jpg|thumb|340px]]Melancholia: One day, you'll get tired! Eat this, Firenza Junior!

''Smiling, Melancholia used the spear to attack Carl, but Carl used his mutated hand to grab it and tried to broke it in half. The two the struggled fierecly. Sforza tried to help, but then she saw Melancholia had paid her attention more on Matt and Maria, who were still sharing their tender moments.'' ''​Maria turned her head and saw Melancholia raised her right hand while holding the spear on her left hand. Surprising enough, Melancholia seemed to have no problem struggling against Carl's superhuman strength which was trying to snap her spear. The spear seemed to be hard enough, so hard that nothing would break it apart.'' ​Matt immediately saw Melancholia and then he leaped back, right before Melancholia regained her control on Maria and made her stand up. Maria was forced to stand up and saw several chains started to appear from the ceiling, and Melancholia lit up her chin a bit when looked at Carl.
 * Sforza: Matt! Maria! Watch out!
 * IMG_2396.jpg: MATT! SHE TURNS BACK AT US! RUN!
 * Melancholia: I am almost forgetting about you, my puppet!
 * [[File:Jeanne_alter_and_ruler_fate_grand_order_and_fate_series_drawn_by_dai_xt_sample-e9a725e17cab6f1c639a3db477a5309f.jpg|thumb|340px]]Melancholia: And you! All of you shall not interfere!

''The chains soon moved by itselfstrained Carl's limbs. Carl was astonished and he struggled fiercely. Maria tried to reach Carl, but she could not do so since her body was strained and was totally immobile.'' ''Melancholia then turned back after pulling her spear away from Carl, and then she wickedly turned back and grinned at Maria. Melancholia then formed another invicible barrier and blocked Sforza away from Carl, Maria and Matt.'' ''Melancholia then narrowed her eyes as her face had became much, much darker. While she was talking, several purple and shadowy spears started to surface from the back of her.'' ''Melancholia then continued to raise her hand and wipe the air. As an reaction, Maria felt straining pain on her spine and raised her corrupted claw.''
 * Maria: Carl!
 * Melancholia: I am sorry, Cardinal Sforza, but I never ever share a pity to traitors!
 * Melancholia: After the playtime between me and those three kids are over, it is your turn to die! All of you, your time is up!
 * Index_v16_091.jpgMaria: Not again...

''Maria could not control her own body, and she could not watched at herself with horror when she was about to reach Matt. It was even worse than the time when she was control by Eckidina as a Cyborg, at least at that time, she was not aware of what she did. However, she was knowing what she was forced to do, but she could not find any way to stop it.'' Hearing this, Matt immediately raised his sword and block Maria's unwilling attack. ''Melancholia scoffed with a sadistic grin when she looked at the scene. Carl was struggling inside the chain, and he could not break free at all. Regardless of his own injuries, Acqua immediately stood up and slashed the invisible barrier with his blade, causing some cracks on the barrier.''
 * Maria: Matt, watch out! Find a way to stop me!
 * Matt: I am sorry, Maria, but I have to do so.
 * Melancholia: Acqua?

Hearing the noise, Melancholia looked at this action and only grinned. ''Melancholia raised her hand as the barrier suddenly released lightning and electrocuted Acqua. Acqua was briefly beaten and collpased on the ground, just as Aureolus was about to reach him. Melancholia turned to Maria and immediately opened her mouth.'' Maria's body suddenly heated up as she looked at herself with panic.
 * Melancholia: I admire your endurance, Acqua of the Back, but you'll regret this soon enough!
 * Melancholia: Steam Iron, 500 degrees press.
 * Maria: Wait!

''She realized that Melancholia was not just controlling her body, but also using her own techniques to attack Matt. Matt noticed this as well, but before he was about to react, the evil Melancholia immediately fired a lighting at him with her spared hand.''  ''Matt was electrocuted at first, and he was hit by a fiery fist that was heated up to 500 degree. Melancholia then rushed towards a beaten Carl, who had half of his left sleeve burnt off and fell on the ground.''
 * Matt: AGRH!
 * Maria: MATT!!!

''One minute later, Melancholia floated at the air with her shadowy spears. Carl could only watch everything in great distress.'' ''The shadow spears then flew towards Maria like a rain of arrows, and Maria was hit by the spears. However, Melancholia raised her hand and made Maria to float on the midair.''
 * Melancholia: By the way, this is the punishment for showing mercy to my enemy, my puppet! Shadow Downpour!

Maria could not avoid herself from the attack, and she could only watched as her spiritual body was hit by those shadow spears. ''Melancholia laughed like a total maniac and grinned evily, looking at everyone who were all in danger of different scale, all caused by her. Maria could do nothing but sheding tears of pain, as Melacholia made her demonic announcement.'' ''Carl angrily cursed Melancholia after he felt tired from struggling. Maria was hurt and humiliated. She glared at Melancholia in anger and sadness.'' ''With a smile, Melancholia scoffed. She shook her head and shrugged her shoulder.'' ''Melancholia denied the redemption and immediately raised her hand. She summoned more shadow spears all the while controlling Maria again to attack Matt.''
 * Matt & Carl: MARIA!
 * Melancholia: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
 * Melancholia: Listen up, you sheep. That will be what happened when anyone dare to interfere my torture. Do it again and it will become even worse!
 * Carl: What a venomous snake...
 * Maria: Melancholia... No, Plaisir... You must wake up! This monster that was talking with your mouth is trying to bring down the entire world! You must snap out of her!
 * Melancholia: Plaisir, you said? Plaisir is dead, my friend. Now, my name, forevermore, is... Melancholia! As you can see, I am a lot happier!
 * Melancholia: Even though now I have only gained the physical control on you, I can still see your mind. Can't you realize that? I can now use your technique!

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Melancholia: LIGHT OF JUSTICE!

In shock, Maria could only feel that her body was turning more and more pinkish, until her body was turning into dark violet. ''Melancholia shouted out as Maria's demonic body started to release a certain amount of radiations from her Light of Justise technique, but this time, it was pink instead of golden. Carl was electrocuted, Matt dodged the attack, and Maria widened her in horror, all the while Melancholia was holding a large black book in her hand.'' ''Acqua immediately noticed and recogized the book as he struggled himself to get up. Melancholia smiled and opened the book.'' ''After that, Melancholia then chuckled bitterly, as Maria was attacking Matt under the malevolent fairy's control. The purple lightning have slashed everywhere on the barrier.''
 * Maria: No, wait!
 * Melancholia: Your words is not useful now. It is time for my orders to arrive!
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.1378662.jpgMelancholia: As long as I have this in my hand, I will never ever fail!
 * Acqua: The Grand Grimoire!
 * Melancholia: You think I never did anything in this battle? I am using this fantastic spell book to manipulate everything in the place! If you want to defeat me, then please show me your true strength and take this book from me!
 * Melancholia: Otherwise, you will all die now!

''However, Melancholia did not notice that the lightning slashed the cracks, which was caused by Acqua of the Back on her invisible barrier. Soon, the crack had expanded into a shape of spider web, and it started to glow in purple.'' ''Matt whispered when he looked at the expanded crack on the barrier while dodging Maria's attack, but his right cheek was slashed and it was scarred. Matt immediately had an idea and leaped himself on the midair.'' ''Matt was now getting away from a controlled Maria, much to her relief. However, Melancholia, who was watching this beside them, immediately realized what Matt was going to do. She also saw the crack.'' ''Melancholia closed her palm and clenched it into a fist, as if she had all of her invisible strings gather. Maria stopped attack and leaped towards the ground once again, looking at Matt as he tried to reach the crack.''
 * IMG_2213.JPG: The barrier?
 * Maria: Matt?
 * Melancholia: Wait!
 * 58702949_p0_master1200.jpgMelancholia: I will not let you succeded!

''After that, Maria's expression soon turned into a fearful one when she saw Melancholia threw away her spear and drew her sword. ''
 * Maria: No!

At this moment, Melancholia deduced that the final release of FOLE was getting nearer, but she was still determined that she would destroy her enemies by herself. Matt looked back and he saw Melancholia raised her sword and eventually stabbed Matt's shoulder. ''Feeling pain, Matt was stabbed at the shoulder, and he immediately fell to the ground. However, he did not scream. Before reaching to the ground, as Maria watched with horror, Matt shouted out.'' ''Magilou was now trying to attack other places of the barrier, but it was not working. Hearing the words, she immediately turned back and widened her eyes with a laugh. She saw the crack. Maria smiled as she saw a glimpse of hope.'' ''Magilou immediately summoned her large skateboard and tried to reach the crack. Shocked, Melancholia tried to stop Magilou, but Matt had grabbed her cloak.''
 * Melancholia: Face your execution now, Matt Butcher! Say hello to your parents in heaven!
 * 'Maxresdefaultvdgg.jpgMelancholia: Sword of Sorrow!''
 * Matt: Magilou! Hit that crack!
 * Joan.Alter.full.2085663.jpgMaria: Magilou, now!
 * Magilou: All right, ukuku, it is time for our mighty destruction!
 * Melancholia: What? Let go of me!
 * Matt: Never! We are tired of your sick game!

''Being dragged by Matt, Melancholia was feeling unbalanced and so she fell on the ground alongside Matt, together. Maria looked at the scene with a relief. Despite she could not move, her mind was not falling into control.'' Maria then looked around as Magilou hit the crack with her skateboard. ''With a cheerful face, Magilou yelled in amusement and broke through the damaged barrier. The crash had caused the crack expanded even further and quicker, even spreaded to other barriers as if they were connected.''
 * Maria: Well, I think the boys recently have progress.
 * Magilou: Go die!




 * Maria: Okay, so does this kid. o(^_^)o

''Melancholia was lying on the ground and tried to do something in horror, but she then felt pain on her leg... It was Matt. He was biting Melancholia's thigh!'' ''Melacholia screamed in terror and pain as the barrier suddenly exploded like a broken glass. Melancholia could only scream and do nothing but watching at all of the barriers cracked and exploded.'' ''Matt immediately seized the chance and stopped biting Melancholia. He stood up and grabbed the Grand Grimoire from Melancholia before he rushed to Carl. He then sliced the chains that trapped Carl with his blade. Carl immediately broke free at once.'' ''Matt and Carl immediately hugged together, and Matt held back his pain from his shoulder. Carl then turned back with his eyes widened. He was looking at Melancholia with anger and rage.'' ''Melancholia then stood up with an awful grin. The grin had made everyone around surprised, as if she never feel bothered at all.''
 * Matt: Grrgh!
 * Melancholia: AHHH!
 * 47304284_p0_master1200.jpgMelancholia: NO!
 * Matt: Are you all right?
 * Carl: Never getting better than now.
 * Carl: When I beat the demon out from its fairy host, we will condemn it back to Hell! This monster have caused so much mayhem among us!
 * Melancholia: You think everything is over? No! No! Not yet! I have my own way to press my so-called "good" counterpart, Plaisir. I also have my own way to rebuild my barrier, but the most important thing is...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Melancholia: I HAVE MY OWN WAY TO GET MY REVENGE! '

''Melancholia immediately raised her sword and raised her another hand, summoning her spear in her hand once again. Her face had turned into a twisted and sick smile.'' ''Melancholia grinned wickedly and raised her Spear of Sin, firing a beam of violet light at Magilou's chest. Magilou tried to escape, but she could not since the beam was too fast.''
 * Melancholia: First of all, Magilou, say your prayers!

"......!!"

Magilou only felt that her chest was hit and she coughed blood out of her mouth. ''Melancholia posed as if she was some kind of executioner, all the while watching Magilou fell with her face looking towards the sky. Magilou lied on the ground, and she lost her own conscious. Fortunately, the firing missed her heart and hit her rip, and she was spared from the death.'' ''However, Maria did not know the fact that Magilou survived. Everyone did not know the fact. Maria watched in despair as she thought Magilou was dead. The fury and sadness soon filled within her heart. Melancholia then raised her hand as Maria was lifted up.'' ''Melancholia tried to control Maria once again to do the dirty work, but at this time, Maria did not move. It was like some kind of power was coming from Maria, which made her resist Melancholia's control. Maria then felt something powerful was streaming inside her veins, and it was caused by her rage and sadness.'' Melancholia noticed something was wrong, and her smile faded. ''Melancholia widened her eyes and she immediately stepped back. Maria was now broke out of her control, and everyone presented in the scene were shocked as Maria walked towards Melancholia while weeping.''
 * Melancholia: Sentence served.
 * Maria: Magilou!
 * Melancholia: Now, my puppet... execute those two people and get the Grand Grimoire back now!
 * Melancholia: What?
 * Melancholia: Impossible, my strings...
 * Maria: You think I can't broke your strings? I can see what you are now. You are not Plaisir, not her in control of this body!

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Maria: You are the monster who occupied her heart by consuming her despair! I no longer have sympathies on you, Melancholia! ''

Act 3 - Plaisir's Pledge







 * Melancholia (Plaisir): Oh, I-I can't hold my demonic half for too long! Please, Firenza Junior! Please attack me! Get her evil spirit out of me!

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Plaisir: Don't be silly! You won't see me being consumed by this... '

''The body of Melancholia (Plaisir) flashed between her good half and her dark half. Maria was still holding her sword, and for the first time in her life, she was hestitated. Maria knew that Melancholia (Plaisir) fell under Michael's own deception, but she suddenly felt it was too cruel to tell her the truth.'' ''At this time, ​Maria was shocked when she heard the words of Melancholia (Plaisir), who was believing a lie, a lie which Maria knew it was a lie. Beside her, people like Matt, Carl, Acqua, Magilou and Aureolus were having the same reactions when they heard this. Their eyes widened up when they heard Melancholia - even in her heroic personality - was defending Michael Langdon.'' ''Plaisir's pledge became more and more tearful, and she grabbed her elbow. Tears started to burst out of her eyes. It was not like streams. It was like a splash when a water balloon bursted.''
 * Melancholia (Plaisir): Carl, you don't understand... When I lost my friends and family by the hands of Moloch, Michael Langdon was the first one who showed me respect... He cared me as his own sister... I can't betray him... I will kill any KnightWalkers, all but him... since he promised when the war was finished, he will destroy the KnightWalker Family himself and return me back to normal.
 * Joan&JoanAlter.jpgMelancholia (Plaisir): I know it was not right for his deal, but he told me that the world is a dark and wicked place. Only he should be trusted by me... I have no choice...
 * Maria: But he tried to destroy this world!
 * Melancholia (Plaisir): That is because Aleister Crowley brainwashed him.
 * Joan_(FateZero).jpgMelancholia (Plaisir): Maria, please be reasonable. He promised he will save me from Moloch and the forces from Hell... After that, I will use my purified power to save this world from the brink of destruction, restoring it to a happy place for everyone to live. If he became a cruel as what you said, I believe it was only because he lost his ways...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Melancholia (Plaisir): Therefore, after you saved me, please save him like you save me. PLEASE! '

Seemly relent, Maria looked at Plaisir who was tearfully pledging, and she started to feel shock.
 * Maria: Even after all those events... she still trusts him...

"......" ''The two voices of Melancholia's counterparts echoed one after another inside the hall as Melancholia's body fell onto the gigantic cocoon below. Then, the lifeless body of the future Melancholia merged with the cocoon.''
 * Dark_Sakura3.jpgMelancholia (Evil): There is no way... to stop this creature... Michael's work is done...
 * Melancholia (Plaisir): You must live, my friends! You must live! Never give up!

The spiritual essence of Melancholia (with both of its parts) had left its body as well, returning back to Sleepy Hollow in the past.

Horrified, Maria saw Plaisir just disappered right in front of her and soon she collapsed on the gr9und.

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

''Maria opened her eyes and cried out to the sky, screaming in agony. She grabbed her hair and yelled like she went crazy.'' ''Plaisir had gone together alongside Melancholia... and Maria failed to save her in time... and that made Maria very sad.'' ​Maria was sobbing when she kept speaking. ''Just as this time, there was some noises coming from the chrysalis, but Maria did not hear it. She was still feeling bitter and guilty.''
 * Maria: Plaisir! NOOOOOOOOO!!!
 * Matt: Maria...
 * Resident_Evil_6_Haos_01.jpgMaria: Despite she became Melancholia and set up so many things against us, Plaisir is still a victim... She is a victim of Moloch's cruelty as well as Michael's deception. Sadly, Plaisir never saw through Michael's lies.

Her guilt for not saving Plaisir in time had overwhelmed her.
 * IMG_7588.pngMaria: I did not even say goodbye to her. I can't even save her soul from her demonic half... and I can't tell her that Michael did not love her at all in time.











"......."

The End
<p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;text-align:center;"> 1 day later

<p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;text-align:center;"> Tenguu City

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> Eugen Katsuragi's Grave

''1 day after Melancholia's apparent death, one of the most terrifying doomsday plan of Michael Langdon was, so far, foiled. However, Carl Robinson was driven to Sleepy Hollow, and his exact whereabouts and/or status are unknown.'' Maria knew she and her team had to find the Grand Grimoire and get it from Michael, but at first, she had to visit someone at her grave.

''In this windy day, drizzles started to drop from the sky. Maria was wearing a red had as well as a Victorian-style auburn dress. She was holding a bouquet of white daisy and slowly apporoached a gravestone.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Here Lieth the Remains of 

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



''Maria recently visited several graves to mourn those she had lost during this three-month-long battle, including the tombs of Noelle Bor, Mary Spencer, Patraiarch Krans, Vasilisa, Mahiru Banba, among many, many others. She buried their bodies beside her own graves in London. They all left the world with sheer chaos and tragedy.''

However, Maria knew the war is far from over even though it's been three months since the destruction of Aldegyr Kingdom and the seemly peace between SU and KA. ''After leaving London almost immediately, Maria and Matt all went towards Japan. However, Magilou left them since she had more works to do. Maria allowed her to do so.''

''Now, here she was, in the cemetry of Tenguu City. Maria came here on purpose, to mourn Eugen Katsuragi, the last victim of Aki Honda as well as Katarina's younger sister.'' ''Feeling guilty for Eugen's death, a trembling Maria then shed tears from her eyes. She slowly took off her hat.'' Maria brushed the tears on her cheeks and sighed. Just then, Maria felt someone was beside her, and she then slowly looked aside and her face soon turned liitle bit of serious once again.
 * Maria: I am sorry, Eugen. Even though we never met, I believe the blood of yours is on my hand. I was once a member of Mafusa Gang... However, you will not die in vain. I will dig into the ultimate truth beneath the underworld and make everyone responsible for this war get what they deserved.
 * Maria: You must be happy in the Heaven, Eugen. I think Katarina will miss you... Don't worry. I will make things right... Rest in peace. I promise the war will one day over, and you will not die in vain.
 * Maria: Yours, sincerely, Maria Arzonia.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Maria: There is no need to hide from me. Please show yourself... Ms. Detective. '

It was Kyouko Kirigiri standing behind Maria, looking at her with curiousity. Maria turned back to Kyouko as she widened her eyes. ''Maria asked in a soft tone to Kyouko. Maria had just already remember this face who tried to help her before Michael attacked her. Now, Maria had met Kyouko once again, face to face, inside the graveyard.'' Maria heard this and immediately took off her hat once again and lowered her head. Then, Maria and Kyouko both looked at the tombstone of Eugen. Despite Kyouko's words, Maria bit her lips and closed her eyes in sheer guilt.
 * Kyouko: I am... glad to see you here, Maria. I did not try to hide myself. I saw you here and I am... really glad to see you alive.
 * Maria: Well, I am just like a ghost, but I feel much better when I was alive. Why are you here, by the way, detective?
 * Kyouko: I went back to Tenguu City to find a solution to beat down Eckidina KnightWalker. Today is tomb-sweeping day, so I am here to look for my late parents.
 * Maria: My sympathies.
 * Kirigiri.Kyouko.full.1589908.jpgKyouko: So this is the grave of the sister of Katarina Couteau?
 * Maria: Yes, and I am here to say sorry for her.
 * Kyouko: Why? You did not kill her.

Maria then turned back to Kyouko and looked at her in the eyes. ''Kyouko gently put her hand on Maria's shoulder. Maria lowered her head and wept like a child. Kyouko sighed in pity.'' Maria then bit her lips and looked at Kyouko with a sad smile. ''Maria then slowly revealed a golden locket holding in her hand, and she opened it. There was a photo a beautiful and smiling woman on the locket.'' Maria slowly nodded and her tears dropped once again.
 * Maria: No, I did not... but I am also responsible for this... I was too weak to fight against Aki Honda, so I had to become one of them. However, now I am free, and I cannot stand their crimes anymore.
 * Maria: We lost so many people we treasured these days, and I will never ever let any force of the KnightWalker Family cause death and misery anymore.
 * Kyouko: You are brave. I thank you for helping us as well as Katarina among others to leave that dreadful shaodw illusions. I heard the news about your presence and I am sure that you are here for helping people like us...
 * Maria: I am just doing what is right. Every day, there are people died in this war and disaster. This war is far from over, and therefore, we need to take down those roots of all evil in this war.
 * Kyouko: This is your mother?

Then, Maria closed the locket once again and looked at Kyouko with tears still on her cheeks. Hearing this, Kyouko was a bit of surprised, but her facial expression remained calm.
 * Maria: She will be proud of me.
 * Maria: Tell me, detective... did you love her?
 * Kyouko: Who?

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

Kyouko felt that her heart became heavier when she heard the name of Sonia, and she bit her lips but soon she looked up, not losing her composure. Maria nodded in agreement and she softly responded.
 * Kyouko: Yes, I do. I care for her like a family, as a friend, as someone whom I dearly trust.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Maria: If you meet her again, please tell these to her. She dearly needs you. '

''Kyouko's face was full of drips of cold drizzles, but then she felt some warm liquid had came out of her eyes. It was her tears.''
 * Kyouko: Thank you.

"......" Turning her face into a more serious expression, Maria bit her lips and revealed her intentions. Maria took one last glance at the gravestone of Eugen before she looked at Kyouko once again.
 * Kyouko: So, what are you planning to do next?
 * Maria: Hmm...
 * Najimi_Ajimu.pngMaria: I will roam the world and hunt down those people who had cause harm upon innoncent people like Eugen and many more. First of all, I will find Sasha. Second, I am going to find Michael Langdon. Fourth, I am going to find the Grand Grimoire and save a friend of mine who was trapped in another time...
 * Maria: ... but the third thing is the most interesting of all four things.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Maria: I will cut Eckidina with my sword. '

Kyouko calmly smiled a little bit when she heard Maria's plans. ''Maria felt that she was now a friend of Kyouko and nodded. At this time, Maria felt there was a warm feelings inside her. She realized that Kyouko and her somehow formed a sisterly bond.''
 * Kyouko: Please cut her more on my behalf.
 * Maria: Sure thing.

''Just then, Kyouko looked at the gate of the graveyard. She saw Matt Butcher sitting at the gate, holding an umbrella and sleeping while standing.'' ''Maria and Kyouko then bid farewell by a glance looking at each other. Then, Kyouko slowly walked out of the gate and spoke with Matt. Matt immediately woke up and was startled. They talked about something before Kyouko left. Maria stood beside Eugen's gravestone and looked at Kyouko leaving.'' Then, Maria immediately went towards Matt, and they caught up at the gate of graveyard. Maria then slowly went towards the road not far away and she put on her hat once again. Matt then followed Maria and walked towards the road. ''Maria then started to let her mind wander. She was thinking about Magilou. Tears started to stream down her cheeks once again.'' ​Matt put his shoulder on Maria as he started to comfort her. ''Maria then looked at the sky. The rain then stopped. Maria stopped looking up and turned back to Matt, giving him a glance full of confidence.''
 * Kyouko: Who is this?
 * Maria: That is Matt Butcher. He is my family, like you. Everyone who is kind... are all family in my mind.
 * Kyouko: I see. I am glad that we are on the same side. I hope we can meet each other once again.
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.1733565.jpgMaria: That will be nice. Nice to meet you, Kyouko, first time formally. Say hello to Katarina for me, please, if you meet her again.
 * Matt: Oh, is that Kyouko Kirigiri, the Ultimate Detective?
 * Maxresdefault_(3)ooj-o.jpgMaria: Yes, and I guess it won't be the last time we meet each other.
 * Maria: Magilou said that the KnightWalker Family had their base in Paris, and now we are going there and find out exactly what Eckidina was currently planning.
 * Matt: Things will get uglier. I think the Church will not allow us to go free, and I think they will come and capture us.
 * 59201088_p0.pngMaria: At least, the Catholic Rebels still stands as long as I am here. Let them come, and no matter how many times they strike us, they will always fail.
 * Maria: I just wonder where will Magilou go. I am kind of sad that she is now not with us. She can always bring us some fun... I hope our previous goodbye won't be our final goodbye.
 * Matt: I am sure she is okay. Look, I am living here and I am not dead. I am sure she, Carl and many others will be fine as we wished.
 * Maria: Yes, I hope so, but we need to move fast. The hope is still in our hands. At least, the sky itself is not always cloudy.
 * Maria: The night is the darkest before dawn, and I promise you...

<p style="text-align:center;"> Moloch's lair 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Past Melancholia's Sleeping Chamber

(- Narrator: Remember what I said when we talked about Melancholia? Yes, Melancholia's Essence from the past merged with her future self in order to be together with Michael, and so while her future counterpart was destroyed, her past self was still lying in Purgatory and was in slumber...)

<p style="text-align:center;"> (- Narrator: But not for long.) 

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

''The past Melancholia opened her eyes and she started to catch her breath desperately. She was trying to pull herself fron the soil ground of Purgatory and tried to break free.'' ''At this time, Melancholia felt fussy in her head. She tried to understand the situation, so after she managed to crawl herself from the ground, she looked around in sheer terror.'' At this time, Melancholia's evil self took better of her good counterpart, Plaisir, causing her to bellow like a mad dog. Melancholia was so desperated that when she stood up, she immediately ran in the woods and looked for Michael Langdon. Unfortunately for her, she could not find him anywhere. ''Just then, Melancholia felt there was a grasp on her neck and someone had lifted her up. Melancholia was so horrified that she immediately struggled herself in order to let go, but the one who attacked her had lifted her at the midair.'' ''In order to find out who had grabbed her neck, a shocked and horrfied Melancholia struggled to turn back herself... before she watched in horror.'' It was none other than Moloch, who looked at the face of Melancholia in rage.
 * Melancholia: Firenza Junior, what had you done to me?
 * Melancholia: This is... this is Purgatory? Where is Michael? Where is my savior?
 * Melancholia: So that's it? I was seperated with him, right?
 * Melancolia: Aw, who... who is...
 * Melancholia: M-Master...
 * Moloch: [You awoken unexpectedly... which means you had failed!]

Melancholia gulped in terror as Moloch roared out those words at her, and Melacholia struggled for survival, but in response, Moloch grabbed her neck even tighter. ''Melancholia bit her lips and her tears started to fell. She struggled herself to speak.'' Moloch's eyes slowly narrowed. Melancholia chuckled nervously as she shivered in horror. Moloch then threw Melancholia away and Melancholia bumped herself on the tree. ''Melancholia shivered in terror as she struggled herself to get up. She bit her own teeth as she looked at Moloch.''
 * Moloch: [You made me so disappointed. I made you to overwatch Michael Langdon's actions, but you never ever sent a report to me!]
 * Melancholia: M-Master... Michael Langdon is doing all of the things according to your plan. He contacted Nevins to get Christine's blood from Betsy Ross' own infected body, and I helped him to get the blood of Firenza Junior and weaponized it!
 * Moloch: [Then, where are the blood samples?]
 * Moloch: In Michael's possession, I guess?
 * Joan.Alter.full.2047688.jpgMoloch: [Silence! I want him to send it to me, but why did he tried to keep them for himself?]
 * Melancholia: Master, I can assure you... We never tried to betray you.

''Moloch then widened his eyes with some cold and malicious expressions coming from those hollowed eyes. When he looked at his mirror inside his lair, his expression became calmer. He saw Carl Robinson walking on the street near Sleepy Hollow, confused.'' ''Melancholia then stood up with a smile wearing on her face. She held her sword in her hand. She was surprised by the news and was also overjoyed.'' However, Moloch gave her one last dreadful eye of scorn before he left.
 * Moloch: [Then, I shall give you one last chance. I had just found out that Carl Robinson, or Firenza Junior... was in here... and it seemed that Michael did not betray me. If you can help me to capture this Firenza boy, I will spare you.]
 * Melancholia: As you wished, Master.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Moloch: If you failed again, you will never see the light of day ever again! '

''Moloch stormed back into the deepest part of his lair. Melancholia stood still, and soon, an insane grin surfaced on her face as she mumbled...''

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Melancholia: This is not over, Firenza Junior... I will find you... and I will torment you... even if I burn this town to the ground! You are doomed... ''

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

"......"
 * Raven_elsword_by_hayashinomura-d6uei0p.jpgDirector: And... and set... and action.

''After drinking a cup of tea, ​Carl looked at Sforza in the eyes seriously. He shrugged his shoulders and asked a question...'' ''Suddenly, a small gas explosion occured when the door not far from Sforza was blow away... and the two fell on the ground almost immediately.'' Carl stood up and shouted in horror and rage.
 * ​Carl: Do we have an accord?
 * Carl: OOPS!
 * Carl: Hey! Is anyone forgot not to touch that annoying toy trumpet?

Large Hams
<p style="text-align:center;"> TV stasis

''As Maria and Matt fetched their sword, Carl almost immediately seized the chance and showed his fist to Fiamma... without actually hitting him.''

However, at this time, Fiamma forgot what to do.
 * Fiamma: Hmm?
 * Carl: Here is the part for you to scream.

Two seconds later, Fiamma screamed terribly, like a scared girl.
 * Fiamma: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

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

''Sumeriko turned back and scream aloud before she went out of the screen... heading towards unknown'' ​Maria widened her eyes and was confused, and one second later, she did the same...
 * Sumeriko: YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
 * Maria: YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

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

''Carl grabbed the rope and swayed from the celiling... before he suddenly dropped on the ground.''
 * Carl: Oh, my God...

Hardly Kept A Straight Face
<p style="text-align:center;"> TV Stasis 

Swiftly, Celestia grabbed the fan in her hand and fanned herself as she looked at Melancholia. Celestia immediately turned back and walked back to her previous position. Celestia swayed her hand and the camera went closer to her.
 * Celestia_during_her_excution.pngDirector: Marker... Action!
 * Celestia: You can keep Firenza Junior, the belligerent spirit and his swordsman friend... Eh. (forgot her lines again)
 * Celestia: Sorry. I'm coming back later...
 * Camera man: We are still rolling.
 * Celestia: Come here.

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

Suddenly, Celestia bursted into her distinct laughter...

 * Director: Marker.
 * Celestia: I'll get it this time, I promise.
 * Director: Don't worry.

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

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;">Swiftly, Celestia grabbed the fan in her hand and fanned herself as she looked at Melancholia.

''Stop speaking all of a sudden, Celestia widened her gaze and swayed her head in bewilderment. She then turned back again with a embarresed smile, whereas people on set all laughed so hard that they could barely stood up from their chair.''
 * Celestia: You can keep Firenza Junior, the belligerent spirit and his...

Belay the Order
''Maria immediately hit her thigh with her fist. She turned back and screamed aloud to her minions.'' ​However, all of a sudden... ''All of a sudden, Matt shouted his words and interrupted Maria, and people all turned back to look at Matt... who was looking at them very nervous.''
 * Maria: Hey, what are you waiting for? We must find that mysterious person immediately!
 * Matt: NAY, BELAY THAT!

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Matt: DO SOMETHING ELSE! '

Realizing himself forgetting his line, Matt shouted the above sentence and immediately went away in embarrasement, and leaving Maria and others all laughing.

Get it all wrong
Suddenly...
 * Maxresdefault_(3)ooj-o.jpgMagilou: He can't come.
 * Maria: I don't know how's he gonna do it...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Maria: Bleh, I'm getting this all wrong, completely. Can we start again? '

Inversed Name
All of a sudden, Carl immediately realized that he had the name of Michael reversed before he paused a bit and corrected himself... Carl turned back and went away, as people aside him could not control themselves from laughter...
 * Reckless.Fist.(Raven).full.947944.jpgCarl: Apologies, Your Holiness... but 'tis certain the world as we know it ends today, and I won't be letting the likes of Langdon Michael...
 * Carl: ... Eh, well, say, sometimes known as  Michael Langdon ....

(- Narrator: However, because this could be considered as some comic relief moment, so we decided to keep the scene.)
