"Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth."

- Bradley Whitford

Previously in LOTM: Sword of Kings...
''- Vira: The Black King must not know the details of this operation so keep your voice down. Well, it's true, Brazil is the second most important country in the world when the matter is our drug business. Through drug trafficking, illegal market of weapons, sales of sexual slaves, market of sexual children dolls and many other illegal activities, the Revelation of Qliphoth rose to power in this world more than anything. We have spies in all governments in this world, even inside of that pitiful organization ready to rule the world... People are easily corrupted by money... And this is the main factor that kept us in power of this world for a long time but now we don't need money and use of bribery any longer.''

Asmodeus could understand that Vira and her Queen don't need to use bribery to bring more humans to their side but that still does not explain the reason of destroying all their illegal market in all states of Brazil.

- Asmodeus: A̳h͜h̻.̬.̖.̧ ͇O̡k̜a̻ỵ,ͅ ̧I̳'̱l̹l̘ ̞g̘o͈ ̘t͍o̳ ̻Ṟi̙o̺ ͔b̮u̲t̼ ̰I͖ ͇n͜ḙe̗d̞ ̢m͔y̖ ̤o̘r̞d̗e̢r̢s̫ ̳a̻n̰d̞ ͇i̮n͍sͅt̥r̳u̢c͈t͎i̦ọṇs̙.͕

Vira smiled once again but she used her hands to hide her insane grin.

- Vira: Astaroth Kings plans to execute Ordeal 777.

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

''Vira tried to keep her voice down but some cultists could hear her voice from far away and gasped at the same moment. Not only them, but Asmodeus himself had the same reaction. Ordeal 777, is a massive operation of Revelation of Qliphoth said to be the First Trumpet to start the Apocalypse... Only the high-rank members of Revelation of Qliphoth know about this order.''

- Asmodeus: O̖r̲d̢e̼a̟l̮ ̻7̤7̰7̹!̠ ̮A͚l̦r̰ęa͍d̢y̳?͖!

''Vira nodded in satisfaction as Asmodeus started to tremble. There was a reason for that, the Orderal 777 is the Final Step of Qliphoth to the ascension of their dark essence to millions of other worlds. That's right, Earth is not the only world under the control of Revelation of Qliphoth, they have billions of other planets like Earth under their control and when Ordeal 777 is activated, all other Astaroth's minions scattered across the universe will execute the ordeal.''

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

''- Vira: Yes, we are. In this world, Rio de Janeiro will be main stage of Prime Earth's Ordeal 777. Others like us will execute the Ordeal in other planets like we are doing right now.''

''The Ordeal 777 is also known as the Seven trumpets of Apocalypse and are sounded, one at a time, to cue apocalyptic events that were seen in the vision of the Revelation of Christ Jesus, by John of Patmos, as written in the Book of Revelation of the New Testament. ''

''The seven trumpets are sounded by seven angels and the events that follow are described in detail from Revelation Chapters 8 to 11. According to Revelation 8:1-2, the angels sound these trumpets after the breaking of the seventh seal. These seals secured the apocalyptic document, that was in the right hand of Him who sits on the main throne. The trumpets are referred to in Koine Greek as salpingos; this was a straight, narrow bronze tube with a mouthpiece of bone and a bell; they do not resemble modern trumpets.''

- Tomas: God...

''Tomas started to sweat and fell in his knees, he felt his forces disappearing... He was so weak that he could not even stand with his own legs. To prevent his body from reaching the floor completely, he used his right arm to grab the wash-bin.''

- Tomas: I feel so dizzy...

''After 2 minutes of struggle, Tomas finally got in his feet and looked at this wash-bin... What he saw shocked him... On the middle of his blood, there were several small black things that seemed to be jellies... Worse, those things were moving like sea plagues.''

- Tomas: What the hell is this?



''Tomas widened his eyes in shock and terror, he could never thought something like this was inside of his body. At that point, he thought he got some disease from some insect from Amazonas since Morte was located on the middle of the jungle.''

- Tomas: It is moving...

''Tomas took a close look at thing and saw that some of them were moving fast while others were just moving slowly like snails... Which was something disgusting and terrible to continue staring at. Tomas then touched one of them with his finger and noticed it was stuck in his finger but could be easily removed, yet the feeling of having one of them in his finger was pretty uncomfortable, he was feeling like if that thing was trying to bit him with those spiky sides and drinking his blood.''

- Tomas: Why something like this is in m--!!

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

''Tomas then felt a painful feeling in his belly and fell in his knees once again before he could finish talking. When he touched his belly, he saw that his injury caused by Vira at the abandoned outpost was black.''

' - Tomas: B-BLACK BLOOD ?! '

''As Katya was speaking, a girl with scarlet hair appeared in a nearby alley and stared at Katya with a sad yet happy expression... That girl was pale and her eyes were glowing red like if she was possessed by a Black Demon.''

''- Girl: H-Help me... H̼e̫ ̰i͍s̠ ̠įn͇s̱i̹d͎eͅ ̩o̰f̱ ͓m̨eͅ ͓I̼ ̙d̖o̲n̦'̥t̺ ̰w̹a͖n͙t͜ ̻tͅo̖ leave me alone.''

''The girl's voice was changing at times, some times it changes to a normal human voice and seconds later changes to a demonic and deeper one. There was no doubt that girl was being possessed and was fighting the Black Demon.''

''- Katya: But I can--! Tsk! I'll help you! Touch my hand I can repel the demon's presence!''

Despite Katya was busy fighting the Black Demons, her moral codes were speaking louder and she left from her battle position while Gaius was fighting the demons alone.



Humans take hours and even days to remove an evil entity from inside of a person's body but Katya can kick the demon from a human body in a matter of  seconds only by touching the body of the victims.

Katya ran towards the girl who was crying but when Gaius turned around and saw Katya getting close to her, he immediately shouted.

''- Gaius: KATYA!! STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!''

''Katya quickly looked back to see Gaius shouting at her. When she got his message, she slowly looked back at the girl and saw the girl was smiling like a devil and her eyes were totally black.''

 

' "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" '





''Soon after, the demonic girl opened her mouth and several spikes come from there, all spikes impaled Katya's body and throw her body in the midair... There were so many spikes that blood fall started to fall inside of the demonic girl's mouth, who was drinking the magical blood of Katya as she slowly agonized in pain.''

All blood that did not fall in the girl's mouth fell on the floor and went to the sewer of the village.

- Kruls: KATYA!!



''Kruls and Gaius yelled in terror when she saw Katya dying in the mouth of the demonic girl. In an attack of wrath, Kruls sent several balls of fire at the girl and burned her body down alongside Katya's... ''

- Girl: I̮T̪ ̖B͎U͔R̝N̻S̤ ̠S͙O̙ ̤G͙O̖O͚Ḑ!̹ ̧H̳A̪H̩A̤HͅA͎H̜A͇H͚A͖!̭!̣

''The citizens could only watch their savior, the strongest magician in the world and the leader of Witch Cult, dying before their eyes in a hopeless situation. The demon girl's body burned to ashes while Katya's body continued impaled by spikes but soon started to burn as well.''

- Citizen: N-No way...

Not only the citizens but Gaius was looking at the scene in deep terror...

- Tathagata: I had just discovered one thing: we don't NEED Unit-CM 130.

"!!!!!!!!!"



''Hamdo and Kim seemed to be surprised with his words. He is literally saying the inverse of what everyone has been talking about until now.''

''- Kim: What do you mean? I believe we had talked about his position in KA.''

Tathagata smiled behind his mask and proceeded to explain what was in his mind.

- Tathagata: Do you remember that woman who declares herself to be the wife of the Fallen's Essence, Lusamine?

Lusamine was one of the most notable members of the Fallen's Essence plans thanks to her role in Aldegyr Kingdom.

''- Hamdo: Ahh... The director of Sephira Gastronomics... Gosh, she is so annoying! I wonder how the Fallen's Essence can walk around that woman.''

Kim answered in a sarcastic mode.

''- Kim: Well, she is deeply in love with him and acts more like a stalker towards him. Luckily, it's not us. Then, what Lusamine has to do with it?''

Tathagata stood up and slowly walked towards the window of the room.



''- Tathagata: Recently, Unit-CM 130 became the ruler of Novosic Kingdom after Sonia's death. Of course, he was chosen by the Fallen's Essence. This sudden changes of leaders caused the military to lose their positions and some rebel factions were born during CM's reign. That means Unit-CM 130 is no longer managing the MPS as he used to be, instead he is busy dealing with Novosic Kingdom while he uses its resources and people in his brutal experiments--Weeks before his coronation, Lusamine was removed from her post as director of Sephira Gastronomics and another person took her role as the director of her company. Lusamine was placed as CM's assistant and was forced to work to him for a long time. What if I say we should assassinate CM and let Lusamine take over his company?''

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



''Kim and Hamdo gasped at the same moment... They know CM is being protected by the Fallen's Essence and if he discover they were murderers behind his death, there is no doubt the Fallen will DESTROY them for their betrayal.''

''- Tathagata: We can send an assassin? Maybe hack KnightWalker ships into bombing his base? We have many options to kill that droid and allow Lusamine take over his place in MPS. With her in charge, I doubt we will have other problems like we had with him.''

Kim and Hamdo looked around to see if there was someone listening to them but they saw no one except for them.



''- Kim: You're serious about this? If the Fallen find out that were the responsible for his death we will be executed. ''

Hamdo looked down and could think in nothing better than Tathagata's idea.

''- Hamdo: I don't see any other options, I vow to assassinate Unit-CM 130. We can find a way to cover the truth by blaming someone else... Maybe a spy from GDP? A traitor of KA? Eckidina? We need to get rid of that robot as soon as possible.''

Tathagata smiled maliciously behind his mask and looked at the town in front of him through the windows.

' - Tathagata: We don't need to put the blame in no one... The only thing we have to be is... CAUTIOUS! '



''It took not so long for Eckidina to track down the communication of the person who hired that former soldier of KFP. ''

This person was now, at that time, seated in a sofa on the top of the roof of the building that belongs to the French Bank of Paris.

''This man, is not a strange man, after all like the Fallen's Essence said a few seconds ago, this person is an ally from Ultimate Despair. The Ultimate Despair are also known as Super High School Level Despair and are known as Junko Enoshima's servants. They are one of the many terrorists organizations active during WWIII.''

''The young terrorist was surrounded by animals from all kinds, from dogs, wolves, snakes, bats, hyenas, eagles and bears. ''



''- (???): So they are coming. It was faster than I thought.''

''The young man, who is also the client of the KFP assassin, is none other than Gundham Tanaka, known as the Ultimate Breeder or Super High School Level Animal Breeder. This man is one of the most wanted terrorists in the world and was a close friend to Sonia Nevermind, the dictator of Novosic Kingdom murdered by Yuuki Terumi at Tenguu City.''

''- Tanaka: Come, Eckidina and Fallen. I have nothing to lose... ''

''Tanaka calmly stared at the town below with lifeless eyes and slow movements. Yes, he is brainwashed by Junko Enoshima like all other Ultimate Despair members but his expressions was different from the time he was brainwashed.''



''Suddenly, as Tanaka was looking at the lights of the town, a green aura appeared right in front of him and violently shook the ground around him. When the aura disappeared, it revealed Eckidina KnightWalker inside.''

- Eckidina: I WANT MY NUMBER 9 OR--!

Before Eckidina could continue her joke, she got the sight of Tanaka seated in a sofa and slightly widened her eyes in surprise.

''- Eckidina: Oh my! So the killer is you, Tanaka? Don't play with me now, where is the true boss?''

Eckidina looked around to search for someone else but there was no one, only Tanaka with his animals.

''- Tanaka: Give up, there is no one here except for me, Eckidina. I was waiting for you.''

''- Eckidina: I wonder where is he. It's impossible for someone so idiot like Tanaka to plan such scheme to kill us.''

Despite Tanaka's confession, Eckidina ignored his declaration as she considered him to be pathetic enough to never rebel against her or anyone else.​​​​​

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



''Eckidina ignored his existence and walked around to find the true "antagonist". Seeing her reaction, Tanaka got enraged and snapped his fingers, ordering his animals to attack Eckidina. With no exeception, the animals surrounded Eckidina while showing off their claws and fangs.''

''- Eckidina: Hey, Tanaka! Do something with those before I cut them in half! I have no time to play with your pets!''

''If Eckidina was a normal human, she would be obviously afraid like any normal person but many years as a Cyborg made her fearless of many things. The only time she got scared in the past was when Michael Langdon got her cowered like an insect months ago... If that was about to happen again nowdays Eckidina would probably bite his face off with her own teeth... The times of war, watching people being tortured, abused, raped and seeing entire towns in flames turned Eckidina in a person even more insane than before, even making her lose her human emotions... Or at least the few humans emotions she had left.''

''- Tanaka: I hate you, Eckidina! You started this war! You turned us in more than terrorists! If this insane war never happened, we would be only terrorists but because of you we became war criminals, genociders and destroyers of continents! We have the blood of billions in our hands while you take delight in watching us killing people in your name! Do you think this is funny?! BECOMING MONSTERS AND SERVING YOU ALL LIKE DOGS?!''

Eckidina nodded in a comedic way.

''- Eckidina: Yes, I think it is funny. Just like these animals here. You're just like them.''​​​​​​



Tanaka clenched his fists until an angry vein appeared in his forehead.

''- Tanaka: HERE YOU GO AGAIN! MOCKING OF OUR MISERY AND SUFFERING!!''

Just after Tanaka yelled at Eckidina, the animals around her attacked the Cyborg at the same time but Eckidina's new magi-tech powers allowed her to summon spider legs in her back and sliced all of the animals at the same time in brutal ways.

''- Eckidina: These things stink... Wait, my clothes ar--! MY NEW COAT!!''

Seeing that her new clothes were full of animal blood, Eckidina used one of her spider legs to slap Tanaka away from the sofa, making him fly 4 meters away.



- Tanaka: Bhwa!

Tanaka coughed blood and tried to get up while wiping out the blood from his lips.

''- Eckidina: Kushi! Kushi! Seeing you falling like this is so pathetic and funny that I have no desire to kill you now! Also... Maybe a little of blood in my clothes might become a nice accessory. I just hope they stay red.''

Eckidina tried to hold her giggle after witnessing Tanaka in such bad state but her sadism seemed to be stronger.

''- Tanaka: Eckidina... I'll never forgive you!''

Eckidina let out a sigh and walked towards him to kick his face.

''- Eckidina: You won't forgive me? And what difference will make you forgive me one day? Nothing, right? So keep your mouth shut, the Superior is really mad at you.''

''Tanaka knew of who she was talking about when she said "superior". All of a sudden, a black smoke covered the atmosphere and flew towards Eckidina's back. From the smoke, the Fallen's Essence came out with an wrathful aura.''

''- The Fallen: [Tanaka Gundham... I knew it was someone from Ultimate Despair.]''

The Fallen pointed his finger at Tanaka and shot a laser beam at his leg, creating a hole in his right leg to prevent him from running away.

- Eckidina: Do you doubt my abilities in catching a mere human?

Eckidina moved her eyeballs towards Fallen but without moving her head completely.

''- The Fallen: [Don't you hate running? I just gave a favor to you, be thankful.]''​​​​​​

As Eckidina and the Fallen were speaking, Tanaka's painful expression was replaced by a sadistic and insane face of a nihilist.



''- Tanaka: Fallen... I'm glad you came.''​​​​​​

''Tanaka then summoned an eagle in his hands. However, it was not a normal eagle, it had some type of green diamond in its chest and a bomb tied up in its back.''

- Tanaka: LET'S DIE TOGETHER!!

''Tanaka then launched the eagle at the Fallen's Essence at high speed to explode him but before the eagle could reach the face of the ghost, Eckidina simply used her eyes to a mental shield and pushed the eagle away from the building, making it explode 50 meters away from the roof of that building. The explosion was not that strong but it had some green light flying around the fire.''

''- The Fallen: Oh... Impressive.''



Eckidina touched her chest with her right hand and smiled proudly.

''- Eckidina: Isn't it?! I'm amazing, right?! PRAISE ME! PRAISE ME!''

''- The Fallen: [Not you. I meant Tanaka.]''

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

The Fallen was expecting for Eckidina to yell at him but, instead, she was staring with a disappointed expression and pointed her index finger at his face.

- Eckidina: I'll let you die one day for sure...

The Fallen looked back at Tanaka, who was staring at the ghost entity with widened eyes of terror.

''- The Fallen: [Yeah... I was right. Tanaka was the traitor.]''

Returning to her normal self, Eckidina walked towards Fallen and stood beside him.

''- Eckidina: What do you mean? You don't know nothing!''

''- The Fallen: [Yes, I do! I'm a genius after all!]''



''Eckidina and the Fallen returned to fight again, like two siblings fighting for the same candy... In a point of view, they are SIBLINGS... Considering both are destructive machines who wants war and love destruction. The difference is that the Fallen's Essence is cunning and more composed while Eckidina is a hidden genius but is too lazy to come up with ideas that could one day lead to the salvation or destruction of the world. So in other words, both have the same goals and same intelligence but one uses more his intelligence while the other is lazy and prefer to resolve everything in the basis of violence... Or she is so lazy to think that she will just think something randomly to solve the problem.''

''- Tanaka: Tsk! How did you know? I know you're bragging yourself!''



Tanaka gave a death glare to both Eckidina and the Fallen's Essence but the two didn't seem to be worried.

- The Fallen: [Sonia Nevermind...]

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

Tanaka gasped at the same moment while Eckidina twisted her head to the left in confusion.

''- The Fallen: [I thought it was impossible but your behavior confirmed my theory... Junko Enoshima's brainwashing is losing effect. I started to notice it when Sonia went to Tenguu City as the Jack the Ripper of 21st Century. She did a good job as a serial killer but over the days, I noticed that brutal experiences of cutting people alive, cutting genitals, removing limb by limb, and other cruel methods of torture, caused her mind to snap out of Junko Enoshima's Despair brainwash. Until there, I thought it was only normal but she started to change A LOT... First starting with her sudden friendship with Kyouko Kirigiri, the Ultimate Detective in the case of Jack the Ripper of 21st Century. She started to have feelings like love and friendship towards other people beside Kyouko like Katarina Couteau, La Folia Rihavein and even Asuha Chigusa who she once planned to kill.]''

''Now, the Fallen's Essence seemed to be speaking with Eckidina instead of Tanaka. If that man was losing control of his Despair persona, that means Eckidina nor the Fallen have reason to speak with that person.''



- Eckidina: So you're saying some members of the Ultimate Despair are slowly recovering their memories and old personality before being brainwashed?

The Fallen nodded and the two monsters looked back at Tanaka, who was cowered in fear of being tortured by Junko or Eckidina again.

''- The Fallen: [That's correct. It seems Junko's brainwash is not absolute and have its own flaws. But this is bad, we still need the Ultimate Despair organization in our future operation against Ratatoskr. IF Ratatoskr is still active until there. But I doubt they will, one day they will fall before us.... So what caused Tanaka and Sonia to lost their false memories? Any ideas?]''

''Eckidina crossed her arms and once again kicked Tanaka's face, making his nose bleed. As if it was not enough, Eckidina pressed her foot against his skull, forcing him to face the floor.''

''- Eckidina: I think I know... If I recall, Tanaka... You were in love with Sonia, right?''



"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"​​​​​

At the same time that Eckidina mentioned that Tanaka loved Sonia, the terrorist jumped a little and started to remember of all people he killed in the past like if she was showing regret for taking those lives.

''- Tanaka: Sonia... Sonia... I'm sorry...''

The mention of his feelings in the matter caused Tanaka's brainwash to break a little more.

''- The Fallen: [I think you discovered the truth, Eckidina. Nice job... But to think that someone like Tanaka really loved Sonia... So that means her death caused him to snap out of Junko's brainwash. His past feelings for her still there, alive.]''​​​​​​

Like delivering a pasquinade, Eckidina shrugged her shoulders and continued despite Tanaka's solemn silence.

''- Eckidina: Love... An emotion that turns people useless to fight. I'm happy I discarded those feelings... But if I recall, Tanaka, there is another one who was deeply in love with her, right? Another person from Ultimate Despair that was considered to be your romantic rival.''

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

''Tanaka straitened his eyes a little. This was no reaction to the mention of another person in love with Sonia, but for some reason, he seemed to cling onto vestiges of abhorrence.''

''- The Fallen: Souda Kazuichi, isn't it? The Ultimate Mechanic.]''

Tanaka remained in silence until Eckidina stepped his head with more strength.

''- Eckidina: If he is silence, that means we are right. Souda Kazuichi is the second traitor. Now, I wonder if these two worked together to kill us. Somehow, the two discovered you were one of the responsible for her death for letting the Manufacturing Progressive Sciences kill her.''



The Fallen face palm himself and gave a pitiful look to Tanaka, who was disabled and could do nothing but accept his defeat.

''- The Fallen: [What a pathetic fool. So you wanted to get revenge on me because I let Sonia die. That's why I hate these feelings, so stupid, so low, so worthless and so pathetic. I wonder why people still think the world needs love to end this war. Every time I see people like you, I have a great desire to DESTROY these people.]''

The Fallen rose his hand and charged an energy beam to destroy Tanaka's head but soon he gave up on this action and lowered his hand.

''- The Fallen: [Ahhh... Eckidina, I really want to kill this trash but he still useful. Send him to Junko and Mukuro, I want Tanaka to receive another Brainwash Section of Despair. Also, make sure to inform Junko to call all Ultimate Despair members back to Paris and put every single one of them in another brainwash. I don't wanna something like what happened to day to happen again in a near future.]''

Eckidina nodded and removed her foot from his head.

''- Eckidina: I prefer to kill traitors but if this what you want. Did you hear, Tanaka? You will be coming with us and feel another one of these wonderful mind rape torture sections!''



''It took no so long for Tanaka to notice that Eckidina and the Fallen's Essence were planning to give him back to Junko to suffer another Despair Video brainwash... Considering his snapped out of her control, this time, the Despair Video will be much worse than the previous one.''

- Tanaka: Damn it...

''The terrorist bit his lips as Eckidina kicked his leg and break his bones. The pain and the deep psychological shock caused Tanaka to lose his consciousness before feeling of his bones leaving from his body could cause him pain.''

- Tanaka: N-N...



Without even be able to say his last words, Tanaka lost control of his body and fell asleep while Eckidina seated in his back and crossed her legs like if she was some kind of seat.

''- Eckidina: Piece of garbage... If he were like us than he would never feel such pain. Are you sure about that? We never used the same person in the same Despair Video Brainwash... There is a possibility that he might die as his brain will not resist the fatal psychological damage.''

Tongue-in-cheek, the Fallen's Essence delighted in feasting his eyes on Tanaka's reaction about going to another torture section then rose to his feet and ambled towards the board of the building.

''- The Fallen: [It's fine. I don't mind. Even if he dies, we can still transfer his memories to another human body, creating a clone of him without his stupid former self.]''

Eckidina tactlessly giggled while her mortified colleague crinkled his eyes.

''- Eckidina: Fufufufu... I see... Clones... I wonder if you will one day discover the truth...''



''The word "clone" reminded Eckidina that she has a secret project that consists of cloning Eckidina to live forever. The truth is that Eckidina is 40-years old but she is using clones to keep her young appearance. ''

''Ratatoskr is the only organization that knows Eckidina has thousands of bodies and has an army made of her own clones, not even the Fallen's Essence, who has the lives of all his minions in his palms, know that Eckidina is involved in such project to live forever. ''

- The Fallen: What truth?

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

Eckidina swung her head to other side to hide her evil grin.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Eckidina: Nothing... '

''- Valnir: Hey, hey... This is serious?! Never in thousand years the Witch Cult fought such threat! This is the true power of Qliphoth? If they decided to go against at their full power, we would be dead by now?''

- (???): E̺x̡a͖c̢t̙ļy̘.͈



''As Valnir was busy seeing that giant creature trying to get out of the sky, one of the bunnies on the ground heard his words and started to speak to him like a normal person. Its voice, however, was thin and demonic at the same time. Like the voice of mini-mouse being possessed by an evil spirit. ''

''The bunny had a person in his hands and beheaded this human like if he was opening a can and squeezed his victim ro drink all the blood from the body. This scene caused Valnir to look away in disgust and horror.''

- Bunny: T̝ẖi̙s̱ ̟i̠s̜ ͙t̨h̺e͔ ̱t͖r͇u̞e̲ ̪p̦o͉w͍e͙r̰ ͜o͈f̭ ̦o̼ṷr̨ ̨G͓o̢d̹d͇e̙s̘s̭.̝ ̱T͕h̬ḙ ͕W̙i̭t̩c͙h̙ ̹C̫ṵl̮t̹ ͚h̖a̧s̻ ̨b͇ḙe̙n̯ ̨f͈i̡g̣h̼t̺i̱n͇g̨ ̠o͓n͜l͍y̰ ͇t̢h̞o̝s̼e̼ ͅs̻m̜a̩l͓l̥ ̘f̙r̜i͕e͖s̯ ̞f̻r̝o͎m͇ ̥t̨h̝e̤ ͉B̲l͓a̬c̟k̼ ̡A̻r͉m̟y͉ ̙f͕o͕r̼ ̝m̡i̮l̟l̟e̳n̯i͚ạ.͍ ͉W̹e͖ ͓n͔e̟v̢e̬r̞ ̭ṷs̬e̙ḓ ͙e̞v͎e̪n̹ ̪h̟a̫l͈f̨ ̲o̪f̤ ̜o͖u͇r͔ ͙t͖r͜u͚ę ̨p͈o̧w̦e̘r͔ ̨t͕o̡ ͙d̪e̘a̤l̦ ̱wͅi̟t̮h̗ ͇s̻u̟c̼h̩ ̖w̙a̺n͚n̫a̱b̨e̪ ͖h̝e̮r͙o͓e̩s͕ ̬o̰f̤ ̜t̰h̯e̪ ̹m̫a̖ģi͙c̢ ͖w̱o͍r͍l͈d̺ ͈l̗i̗kͅe̗ ̡ỵo̥u͇r̢ṣe̡l̝v̗e͓s̢.̲ ̣

''The bunny then cleaned his mouth and sent the drained body of his victim flying towards Valnir. The speed was fast that Kruls could barely see the body going towards him. The corpse hit Valnir and made him fall from the house he was standing but luckily he was an expert in Parkour and easily recovered his movements and landed on the ground in safety.''



''- Valnir: You son of a bitc-! ''

''Kruls yelled at the devilish bunny demon with wrath but that monster didn't seem to be afraid and belched after drinking all the blood. From his mouth, pieces of meat, blood, clothes and accessories of the victims he devoured flew everywhere. Some drops of blood fell in the face and hands of Valnir.''

- Bunny: D̹e͇l̝ḭc͔i̪o͎u̖s̳!

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

''Seeing how uncaring those things can be, Valnir's fire aura slowly changed to a dark purple aura. His power increase when he is feeling angry, and that is something that happens only one time each 200 years since this man is a person who discarded his feelings to be a "battle eater" to enjoy his fights. But even Valnir has limits and never felt so much rage like now.''



- Kruls: YOU BASTARD!!

With his body glowing purple, the bunny now seemed to be worried and returned his attention to Valnir, considering him a true threat now.

- Bunny: N̠o͜w̧ ͕y̤o̧u͙ ̼l̦o̮o̲k̝ ̼d̺i̖f̤f͓e̗r̜e̺n̲t̢!̡ ̙C͙o̺m̮e̤ ̭t͎o̪ ̟m̬e̙!̹ ̠Y̘o̩u͕ ̦l̗i̭v̯e͉s̘t͙o͉c̲k̼!͎

As the two started to fight, 1 kilometer away from there but in the same street, Gaius and the Black Demons continued engaging in a sword fight to death.

- Gaius: DIE!

''When Gaius finally managed to find an opening in the movements of the Black Demons fighting, he swung his sword and cut the Black Demons in half. ''



''After defeating his enemies, Gaius looked around again and saw the village was completely destroyed and no sign of life could be seen except for him and Kruls fighting at distance. ''

''- Gaius: How could this happen... Why you did this, Ara?''

''Gaius started to cry but hiding his sad emotions. After a few tears began to fall from his eyes, he heard another horde of Black Demons from the Black Army approaching and prepared to fight again but psychologically damaged.''

''- Gaius: They don't stop coming... This is really the end of the Witch Cult?''

<p style="text-align:center;"> (???): NO, IT ISN'T!!



''Before Gaius could engage the Black Demons coming out of the fire at distance, he heard a loud female voice coming from behind the Black Demons. After hearing that voice, the demons that were running towards him stopped and looked back to see their comrades being cut down one by one. There was someone attacking them from behind, they all fell down until no one was left. From the blood and fire, a beautiful young teenager with red glowing eyes, long natural nails, and black oval-shaped glasses appeared. That girl has long black hair and had two red ribbons at the back of her head. She was wearing the uniform of the Witch Cult's University of Magic, a local university of the village in charge of training future mages of the Witch Cult.''



- Gaius: This voice...

''Behind the young girl carrying a magic katana, several mages wearing white clothes appeared and seemed to be serving her as bodyguards of some sort. ''

''After leaving from the fire, the first mage in white clothes beside that girl extended his hand and summoned a magic circle. From his hand, a white sphere of energy went flying towards the bunny fighting Valnir 1 kilometer away and blow the creature to pieces.''

- Valnir: What?!

''Gaius' jaw opened in shock when he heard the voice of that girl standing on the middle of all those mages. Her voice was similar to Katya... Or rather...''



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

''1 hour later, the scenery changes to Novosic Kingdom... For better words, it changes to the capital of MPS. Novosic Kingdom is long gone, its flag, its history and its culture. There is nothing left. The small and yet powerful nation of Novosic Kingdom ceased to exist at the moment that CM became its "King".''

''Despite the title, CM never considered himself a king as he despise power and authority. If CM was a megalomaniac like Eckidina or the Fallen's Essence he would work hard to keep that country alive but that was not the case. He is scientist not a politician so he was no interest in such nation. Not to mention, the Fallen's Essence lost his interest in this country at the moment Sonia. Even if Novosic is a powerful ally force in KA, it will make no difference if they suddenly disappear.''



''Right now inside of MPS' Research Department, the new human vessel of Unit-CM 130 that is said to be a blonde Canadian scientist, was reading some documents while in his office. He seemed to be so busy that he ignored the existence of the world around him.''

- CM: ..............

''While CM continued reading his papers, the door of the office opened and closed with kindness. A woman had just entered in his office and walked towards his desk, where she put her hands in her back and stared at the blonde-CM without expression. That mature and yet young-looking woman is Lusamine, the former director of Sephira Gastronomics and now lowered to CM's Assistant.''

- Lusamine: I am here as you requested.

''Lusamine had to speak to call his attention as he looked to focused in his own world. Just then, CM noticed her presence there and stopped reading his documents.''



''- CM: Ah, Lusamine! Sorry for calling you from Paris to Novosic. It's may idiot as there are two CMs now.''

''The Cyborg CM mentioned hours ago that a new human CM was going to be transferred to Novosic Kingdom while the Cyborg CM was going be sent to Paris. In other words, there are two CM's now.''

''- Lusamine: I'm aware of that. Artemishia told me that you created a new human vessel for yourself.''

''Lusamine could only admire that human CM. Not only his appearance but even his personality was totally different from the original CM's. This one was a little kind, energetic and somewhat gentle. His voice didn't have that rude tone that CM usually uses to speak with his subordinates.''



''- CM: I see... So Artemishia was finally moved to my unit? My other self in Paris is in need of new assassins and killers beside the mercenaries. He is extremely disappointed with the Zero Numbers for allowing Chronos Empire, Ratatoskr and the Rogues destroy Morte. Of course, Akrak was going to die at some point but we needed that base. I hope Artemishia can take care of the problem.''

''Lusamine for the first time thought she could speak normally with CM... That human appearance really made him less scary and intimidating.''

''- Lusamine: No worries, Artemishia is the 4th Strongest Cyborg of this world. She will not fail. Putting that aside, why I was called here?''​​​​​​



The human CM removed his glasses and lab coat he was wearing and stood up from his chair.

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

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

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

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



- Lusamine: This is...

CM showed her the hologram of Earth and approached her.

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

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



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

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

- Lusamine: Hainan?

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

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

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



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

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



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

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

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



CM nodded again but smiled maliciously yet like a gentleman.

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

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



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

Lusamine immediately remembered something important...

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

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

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

CM continued speaking but Lusamine seemed to be so impacted that her eyes were lifeless.



''- Lusamine (think): *Why this is happening to me? I really have to kill millions to be free again? I'm going to low myself to this point?*''

Like if he was reading her mind, CM gave a pitiful smile to Lusamine and answered her.

''- CM: Yes, you will. There is no one more reliable than you do to the job. This is your moment to shine, Lusamine. What is on that island are the last remnants of the China's history... But with the chaos across the world, no one will ever notice them. No one will come to save them. No one will miss their existence. No one will ever remember them... This is why I choose them as our targets. They are isolated from the world, and like zebras out of their flock, they will die by the claws of the predators. This is how humans are... Alone, they are easy preys.''

''Lusamine fell in her knees and cried... This time, it was not tears of happiness but tears of sadness and confusion. Right now, there are many things happening in her head. So many that she can't even control her emotions and behavior. She could swear she was hearing the screams of pain and cries of hundreds people she killed before while serving CM's cause.''



''- Lusamine: No... No... N-Not this... I'm going insane! MAKE IT STOP!!!''



Suddenly, as the images were passing by without warning, Crow's mind was filled with the image of a eldrich monster made of darkness and several eyes in front of flames.​​​​​​

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Crow: This is... Astaroth? '

''The dark figure standing on the middle of the flames was the shadow of Astaroth King who is said to be God or Goddess of Revelation of Qliphoth. However, something was odd. The place where Crow was had a temperature and even a ground for him to touch.''

''- Crow: [My body... I have a physical body?!]''

''Soon, the voice of Crow stopped echoing. Soon, his voice began sound normal like if he was on the real world. Once he noticed he could move, Crow removed his mask and looked around.''

- Crow: Where I am?

''Despite Crow removed his white mask, his face continued hidden behind the darkness of his cloak. After a long time looking around, he noticed he was in a another dimension covered with fire and red smoke. On the floor many corpses of humans could be seen, men, women and children.''

- Crow: This is another dimension?

''Astaroth King, that unknown shadow standing on the middle of the flames, continued there looking at the infinite dimension filled with corpses and fire. Since it was looking at the other side, Astaroth didn't notice Crow behind it.''

- Astaroth: .....................

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



''Suddenly, without warning or even making sounds, everything around Crow faded to black. Absolutely everything, even the fire, the corpses and Astaroth King disappeared in complete darkness. The sounds of fire cracking the bones of dead people stopped. Everything faded in an instant, the sound that echoed on the air when everything disappeared was the sound of a lamo breaking.''

''Despite that, not everything was in complete darkness, the skies were shining and bright like never. That vision was beautiful, there was no place on Earth that you can see the night-sky like this. Nowhere to be found.''

- Crow: I can't see nothing...

''Crow looked at his hands and could see nothing. The ground was in complete darkness but the sky was bright and beautiful. Right now, Crow accidentally entered in a new dimension using his Prevision abilities. However, he is not entirely inside of that dimension, only his soul is there. ''



''His body and mind continue on Earth and the reason why he entered in that dimension is unknown. Even him seems to be not aware of how he entered there.''

''After looking at his north, he could see several red eyes looking around from the darkness. It seems they had no point of view and were looking at random directions. However, after one minute looking at those eyes, they suddenly stopped and looked at their left for a very long time.''

- Crow: !!!!

''Despite Crow was trying to keep low profile to not be noticed by Astaroth or whatever was there, he felt a cold wind coming from all directions like if he was inside of a room with the temperature below 10 degrees. The eyes continued looking at the darkness of their left side for several minutes until a loud female voice broke the scary silence between the creature and Crown.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- (???): HELLO?! MOTHER?!! WHERE I AM?!!'

''The voice was so loud that even Crow had a little jump scare and looked at the darkness to see a woman tied up in a chair. He could swear she was not there until a few 5 seconds ago. Despite he was on darkness, he could see her clearly like if there a bright light around her on the darkness. After taking a good look at that girl, Crow could immediately recognize that young woman that seemed to be around 16 and 18-years old.''

''- Crow (think): *THAT GIRL! IMPOSSIBLE! SHE IS... SHE IS...!*''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Crow (think): *... AKI HONDA!* ''

''Crow is cold like ice but was enough to break his character. He was in a dimension he didn't know about. He don't know where he is. He has no clue why Aki Honda is there and has no knowledge of what was those creature with countless red eyes. Odd enough, Aki Honda was considered officially dead almost half a year ago. She was killed by Katarina Couteau in a building during the invasion of Mafusa Gang to Tenguu City.''



''- Crow (think): *But how... She is dead!*''

''Also, it's not strange to Crow know Aki Honda. She was once a direct ally of Eckidina KnightWalker in illegal and criminal activities in the black market of the Underworld of Crime. So, considering she was once an ally of Eckidina, she had direct business with Godom Empire with Mafusa Gang selling weapons and drugs to their cartels and mercenaries. ''

''Crow is very familiar with Aki Honda but never encountered her before face-to-face. In addition, Crow was one of the first people to be noticed about her death as she worked to Mafusa Gang as their transporter of weapons, a kind of messenger of crime but when she dies the Godom Empire cut traces with the criminal group for calling attention of Chronos Empire.''

''- Aki: LET ME OUT!! SOMEONE CUT THOSE FUCKING CHAINS!! DAMN IT!!''

''Despite Aki Honda was shining in the darkness, she seemed to not see Crow nor the red eyes staring at her. It was almost like those two were invisible to her eyes. And that was right, Aki Honda was only seeing darkness and could not even see her body much like Crow.''

''With several rude and obscene words, Aki Honda tried to free herself from that chair but without success. After 2 minutes of struggle, the chains suddenly were cut off by something and she had freedom to move her body again. After she stood up, the red eyes looking at her from darkness closed and disappeared in the infinite blackness of that dimension. Meanwhile, Crow continued watching over that show of horror without being noticed by the creature and Aki Honda.''

''At every angle there was nothing, sounds, people, any light ... Nothing. The only thing that filled that supposed place where she was was a freezing cold. She spent minutes in silence, and also without thinking of anything. She was in total shock, until... echoing footsteps erupted in that place she was. It had the sounds of high heels shoes that popped at every step.''



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

''- (???): Wow, I've been waiting for you for a long time! I thought you'd be here early. Lovely daughter of Astaroth!''



''A female's voice echoed as loudly as the sound of her footsteps. In reaction Aki Honda turned her body around in all angles, looking for the owner of that voice, and yet all she could see was darkness... And as if it was being illuminated as it came out of a dark place, a woman came out of nowhere. Aki Honda's eyes shone when she saw that woman.''

''An extremely beautiful woman whose appearance would make even a Goddess jealous. She was very tall, she probably had 1,80 meters and was showing off an aura of coldness and darkness around her like if the blackness of the surroundings were being sucked by her body. She had a short black and shining black hair similar to a emo girl. She also had grey empty eyes like if she was dead and was using a red lipstick. Not to mention, her skin was extremely white to the point of being pale and white like snow.''

''She was wearing a very tight black and short dress that was almost glued in her skin. Her dress also showed to be backless, exposing some scars in her back that had a giant red tattoo of a red Chinese dragon. Her dress also had a large cross on the center between her large breaths and stomach. She was using a black and red choker around her neck that seemed to be inspired in a Gothic lolita's. She seemed to be wearing red gloves and was using BDSM boots with thigh-highs. It was almost like if she came out of a Gothic porn movie.''

- Aki: M-M...

''Speechless, Aki Honda blushed in happiness when she saw that woman. It was almost like she was her salvation standing on the middle of all that darkness.''



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

''- Aki: ...... A-Ah...''

''Aki Honda tried open her eyes but the world around was too bright for her to see correctly... But indeed, she alive, she could feel her body, her legs, her arms, her mouth and could even breath fresh air.''

- (???): S̪H̳Ȩ ̟ḤA̻D̘ ͉R̟E͈T͈U̺ṞṈE̖Ḑ!̰ ̦J̺U̠S̜T͚ ̦ḼI͇K̺E̘ ̞A͉S͍T͎A̯R̥O̝T͚H̘ ̣P͜R͉ĮŅC͈ẸS͎S̗ ̯P̧R̠O̩M̢I̻S̺ED!̗

''A male demonic said excitedly and still breathlessly while Aki Honda opened her eyes in some kind of surgery room inside of Phenex Airship. Aki's blurred vision was gradually returning to normal... ''

''Seeing a surgical room, covered in blood and vomit. When Aki heard that voice, the first thing she saw a demon with tentacles opening a human alive while he stared at her from distance.''

- Surgeon Demon: T͜e͜l̥l͍ ̬t͓h̲e̩ ̤S̳u͚p̲r͕e̦m̱e͇ ̻Gͅe͉n̖e̢r̢a̲l̤ ͍t̬h͈a̧t̲ ͙ẖe̜r͚ ͇p̬l̺a͚y̢t̙h̜i̞n̫g̫ ̬i̭s̡ ͔a͎l̲i̘v̧ḛ ̫a̤n̫d̙ ̜k͍i̘c̖k͔i̢n̢'̗.̙

After the surgeon said that, a person wearing a black cultist outfit left from the room and went somewhere

Meanwhile, next to her bed she saw a man with no eyelids, staring at her with a frightening expression and carrying a pair of defibrillators that still pulsed with electricity.

- Aki: What... Where am I? Someone?!



''Aki Honda slowly looked around, noticing in one corner of the room there was a tall woman with long blonde hair staring at her with dead empty human eyes and a creepy smile full of insanity. That woman had the face of a sexual maniac crazy for sex or something worse... It was Vira.''

- Vira: 'SHE IS ALIVE! SHE IS ALIVE! SHE IS ALIVE! SHE IS ALIVE! SHE IS ALIVE! SHE IS ALIVE! SHE IS ALIVE! SHE IS ALIVE! SHE IS ALIVE! SHE IS ALIVE! SHE IS ALIVE! SHE IS ALIVE! SHE IS ALIVE! SHE IS ALIVE! SHE IS ALIVE! SHE IS ALIVE! SHE IS ALIVE!'

''Like a perverted rapist, Vira ran towards Aki Honda's bed and kissed her all over while she tried to slap that scary unknown woman. Finally, after many minutes of harassment, Aki Honda slapped Vira and stopped her from acting like a mad woman... After taking a close look, she could clearly see that woman was very similar to one of her victims she killed in the past... To be precise, it was Aki's last kill... ''



<p style="text-align:center;"> 'Eugen Katsuragi... She was just too similar to that girl she murdered right in front of Katarina...'

​​​​​​​​​​Having a close look of Vira's face, Aki Honda shook in fear while her eyes widened in sheer horror.

''- Aki: B-But! '''BUT I KILLED YOU!! I PIERCED THROUGH YOUR FUCKING HEART!!! HOW DO YOU STILL ALIVE?!!!!!'

''Indeed, that girl was Eugen Katsuragi that Aki Honda could swear she finished off months ago... But she was there alive and kickin'. However, Vira was just too old considering Eugen died as kid with just 12-years old... Vira had the appearance of a 19-years old woman, she was now older than Aki Honda herself.''

- Vira: 'I love you, Astaroth King! For bringing this gift from the Underworld!!!'

- Aki: 'HOW DO YOU KNOW ASTAROTH QUEEN?!! YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO BE ONLY A COW READY TO BE SACRIFI--!'



''Vira then licked Aki Honda's face with a perverted blush. She then pulled out a heavy nail ripper from a backpack and put it beside Aki Honda's bed and tied her arm on it. The others immediately knew what was going to happen after and left the room, leaving Vira and Aki Honda, the person who is said to be Vira's true murderer, alone.''

- Aki: 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU FUCKING PSYCHO BITCH!!! RELEASE ME!!!! I'M NOT MESSING AROUND!! I SWEAR WHEN I'M FREE I'LL CUT YOU IN PIECES AND EAT YOUR WOMB YOU INSANE WHORE!!!!'

While taking deep breaths with tears of joy falling from her eyes, Vira started to touch her private parts while putting Aki's nail inside of the ripper.



''- Vira: Hey! Hey! We have a plenty time alone! I promise we will have so much fun~! ❤ I'll never let you go! Never! ❤ We will have dinner together! Take bath together! Play together! I'll visit all nights to read stories for you to go to sleep! An-And! We will play with dolls like two kids and have so much fun! FUN! FUN! Y-YES! And then we will watch films together! Have more d-dinners with large portions of soups! I promise that no one will ever hurt you again! Never! I love you as much as I love Big Sis! S-So be a good girl and let's be friends! Hein? Hein? RIGHT?!! RIGHT?!!! YES!! I CAN ALREADY HEAR THE LUBBABY THAT WILL SING FOR YOU TO S-SLEEP!! ❤ Together, I, you and Katarina! We will be a big and happy family! So stay with me and I'll give gifts and all sex you want~!''

''Aki Honda was now officially scared, she don't know if she is more afraid of Astaroth and Vira... But honestly, none of these matters. The two were scary psychopaths that no one in this world deserves to be together. ''

Seeing that "beautiful" scene, the Black Demons serving Vira smiled and called her attention.

''- Vira's Cultist: We will leave you two alone for now. You two, play good together~!''

The cultists one by one walked down the hallway on the other side of the door while the last of them stayed and slowly closed the door to leave them alone.

''- Vira: Shall we start?! Ḩe̝h̢e̢h̩e͙h̝-͍h͔e͇h̠ḙ!̲''

Aki Honda tried to jump off her bed but it was useless, Vira had already dominated her...

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Aki: NOOOOO!!! HELP ME!!! DON'T LEAVE ME!!!! HELP!!! MOTHER!!!! MOTHER!!!!! ''



''- (???): You don't need say thanks... The KnightWalker Family is always standing beside the MPS in their business and matters. My lovable Quattro.''

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

''What they saw there scared Maria until her spine... It was someone she met a long time ago and never saw him again... The familiar face of the man who hired her brothers to commit the worst crimes of arsonism.''

''- Maria: M-Misogi... Kumagawa...''

''Kumagawa is a young man of average height and an average build, with blue eyes and black hair. He is wearing a black jacket with a white collar and five yellow buttons, and matching pants... He had a very cheerful face but Maria was the only one who could see the true darkness behind that childish face of his.''

- Maria: Th-That man...

- Matt: Maria?



''Matt never met Misogi face-to-face, he only heard and saw him through newspapers, TV, Internet and holographic messengers... It was the first time he saw Misogi, who is known among the Catholic Rebels as Eckidina's dog for being loyal to her until the end. In fact, he is like a fanatic boyfriend to her rather than a subordinate or second-in-command.''

- Quattro: So, with that said, I shall make my leave here and return to the surface to show my--our data to CM. 

''Quattro then let out a selfish smile and walked away without giving a proper goodbye to Misogi. In truth, she never cared about Misogi's help in whatever they are researching. Even so, like a gentleman controlling his emotions, Misogi didn't show his dark side and continued acting like a polite person.''



''- Misogi: No problem! Just talk you time, I'll be here for a few minutes before leaving too (murmur: selfish retarded bitch...).''

''We were wrong, Misogi is just that rude but he does not say it in loud voice like many other people do. Misogi said those obscene words while keeping his cheerful smile in order to hide his true words.''

- Quattro: Hum...

The scientist called Quattro didn't hear his obscene words since he said that in low voice so she continued her way to the exit of the research facility.

- Misogi: ...................



''Misogi waited a little longer until Quattro completely disappeared in the darkness of those long corridors. After she disappeared, he slowly turned his head around and let out a soft smile... He was looking exactly at where Maria and Matt were hiding but they thought it was only a normal and random boy movements of his own.''

''- Matt (think): *What he is doing?! Just move!*''

Maria was almost losing her cool and took several deep breaths as she and Matt kept themselves behind the pillars.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Misogi: I think it's about time for you two show up. 



''Maria and Matt gasped at the same second in pure terror and fear. He is just a simply human but he was able to find them without making any effort to notice their presence. Maria and Matt are not good at hiding but they are not so bad like children playing hide-and-seek.''



''- Maria (think): *No way! How?!*''

''Maria took a deep breath while Matt gave her a serious expression... He was thinking in kill Misogi right there since destroying his presence on the world will cause a great damage to KnightWalker Family. However, acting like a rational person, Maria shook her head as a method to say "no".''

- Maria: You got us, Kumagawa.

''Maria and Matt left behind the pillars at the same moment while Misogi let out an evil grin. ''

''- Misogi: To think you're alive, Arzonia. I never thought I would meet you again someday. I thought it was only a lie of Michael Langdon but he was right... You're alive.''

- Matt: Ugh, Ack, Ha...

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

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

- Maria: W-What did we just saw?

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

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

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

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

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

- Maria: What is it, Matt?

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

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

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

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

- Matt: Okay then...

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



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

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

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

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

- Matt: Jesus Christ...

Maria clenched her fists and yelled at the screen.

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

Matt slowly turned his sight to her and nodded.

- Matt: It seems s--

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

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

Matt rushed towards Maria with a worried expression.

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

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

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

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

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

- Insane-Eckidina: ......................

While Eckidina was unable to speak thanks to the quantity of meat inside of her mouth and the mental problems wrecking her brain, she could still think freely.

''- Insane-Eckidina (think): *It's been 15 years since that day... From all people I used to love, from my father and even my mother, my love for Misogi never ceased and still burning in my heart until now. My father, I tortured and killed because he was useless. My mother, I killed with a gun because she ignored the sexual abuses of my father. But Misogi... He was always there for me, in health and disease. In the peace and chaos. In the calm moments and dangerous moments. He followed me everywhere I went and did everything I order him to do without questioning... Now, I wonder if my love for him just became some tool to manipulate and kill him once he outlive his usefulness.*''

''Eckidina looked at the female guard she devoured and vomited all meat she ate. Eckidina is a Cyborg who drinks blood from other people to survive, she is not a cannibal or animal to enjoy eating raw meat.''

''- Misogi: Eckidina... Stop it already... Quit KnightWalker Family and this war... We can still go back by living like two worms and cowards for everything we did. Even if the entire world is against us, even God is against us, I'll not leave your side. We can flee to anywhere; a desert island, a dirty swamp, Amazonia, a tropical jungle, the mountains of Japan, in an underground base... We can even go live in a sewer; all these places are proper for us who destroyed entire nations, committed genocide and even killed children. ''

''Misogi tried to reach Eckidina's humanity, the little human side she still had inside of her. Misogi knew a long time ago, since from the day Michael ruined everything, that Eckidina could no longer live to fulfill her dreams of war and death and he knew clearly that she must quit this insane plan as she had no mental health to continue leading the KnightWalker Family in the Third World War.''

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

''- Misogi: Eckidina.. Let's end this and pay for what we did. There is nothing you and I can do anymore... From all Eckidina's in this world, from all clones that exist, I still loyal to you and only you. I refuse to keep following orders of this Otome-Eckidina. You're the only woman worthy of me!''

As Misogi was speaking, the insanity of Eckidina continued devouring her mind until her very identity faded in the tears of blood on her eyes.

''- Insane-ckidina: M-Misogi... I don't wanna live like this... Like a rat? Like a cockroach? No... If I have to die I prefer to die by the hands of those I made suffer! Just then my death will be worthy!''

''Eckidina stood up and walked around the office while stumbling in all chairs and furniture for office. ''

''- Otaku-Eckidina: I must admit, for someone who is known as childish, you have an impressive determination. You're not so lazy after all, even in the face of insanity, when your identity is about to disappear, you refuse to give up on your true dreams and objectives.''

''The Insane-Eckidina then fell against the floor crying in blood as her sad face was replaced with an insane grin. Soon afterwards, a purple aura began to fly around the Insane-Eckidina, who had just lost her little peace of sanity. It's really impressive because just a few number of psychopaths can keep fighting to preserve their identity and nature; even psychopaths and sociopaths have some small peace of sanity that keep the person of whom they truly are. People with split personality, however, tend to lose it faster than most insane people.''

- Otaku-Eckidina: This is it, Misogi.

The Otaku-Eckidina pet Misogi's head and removed her glasses as she gave him a comfortable smile to calm his panic.

- Misogi: 'THIS IS WHAT?!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO ECKIDINA!! ANSWER ME!!!'

''Misogi knew the truth but refused to believe in what had just happened. The Insane-Eckidina that everyone hates had to drink and eat different kids of tea and medicines from KnightWalker Family to keep her sanity while resting in her room in Juria's mansion. But since she escaped and suffered too much stress by Otaku-Eckidina's provocations, her mental health was broken and not even her medicines could stop the process.''

''Misogi grabbed her legs and cried in her knees. While he cried, the Otaku-Eckidina walked towards a locker and pulled out two Artificial Demon Gear from there; these weapons were two daggers of different colors: one was green and the other blue. Needless to say after so many battles with Cyborgs, there are three ways to destroy a Cyborg from KnightWalker:''


 * 1) To kill and torture him for decades until their regeneration stop working;
 * 2) To make Cyborg commit self-destruction;
 * 3) And the most easy one and difficult at the same time is to use an Artificial Demon Gear (an AD Weapon) to corrupt the system of the Cyborg and destroy all Magi-Tech inside of them... 

- Misogi: NO! NO! NO! NO!

''And Misogi clearly knew what the Otaku-Eckidina was going to do; she choose the option 3 to free Eckidina from her suffering. Seconds later, two Artificial Demon came out of the daggers and looked at Eckidina with malicious glares.''

''- Otaku-Eckidina: Misogi. Letting Eckidina live like this is the same as to put under constant torture. For a Cyborg who can't commit suicide due to his or her sanity being taken away from them is painful. Eckidina suffered enough; being betrayed by those she trusted, having her ego broken to pieces, losing her Cyborg powers, unable to commit suicide, die in a way she refused to suffer, seeing herself humiliate her own person and finally losing her own persona. She lost everything: dreams, emotions and even what she loves the most... War.''

''The Otaku-Eckidina walked towards the Insane-Eckidina as Misogi released her legs. When she arrived there, she saw the true face of Eckidina. Her face was completely destroyed, with many metallic tentacles coming from her mouth, her eyes and jaw fell from her face and her hands were not human limbs anymore but blades... That thing, was the true form of Eckidina's Cyborg form. ''

''- Otaku-Eckidina: Look at her Misogi. She is no longer the Eckidina KnightWalker you used to know. She is only an empty Cyborg with no mana, no emotions and no identity. Since her sanity is gone, the only thing left of her is this Cyborg vessel that will act like a machine, attacking and eating every one "IT" meets on its way. I'm sorry to call you but Eckidina KnightWalker is DEAD... ''

''Misogi walked towards the Cyborg body of what was left from Eckidina and saw that thing was no longer Eckidina in any way; her appearance was from a monster that came out of a horror film. Now, it is only a matter of time until that empty body starts attacking people randomly on the streets.''

- Misogi: Eck--!

Before Misogi could finish, the creature immediately cut his belly with its blade as it screamed like a youkai.

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

- It: [AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

''Misogi then jumped backwards and avoided another attack from that empty Cyborg creature. As soon as the creature spotted the Otaku-Eckidina standing only 3 meters away from it, the Cyborg monster immediately rushed at her with its large metallic tentacles to bite her face off but the Artificial Demons standing behind immediately reacted and stabbed her body with their large weapons in their claws.''

- It: [A-aH...]

The first vital point the Artificial Demon hit was its neck and soon they covered its entire body with bayonetas and sacred knives to seal its movements.

- Misogi: ECKIDINA!

''The creature heard Misogi screaming for Eckidina's name and one last time made a last struggle to kill its victims. The Cyborg then charged at Misogi with its blade to cut him in half but the Artificial Demons once again threw bayonetas at its back and sealed its movements. Soon, some German runes appeared on the bayonetas and created a powerful yellow light that entered in the Cyborg's body and killed it for good as its movements stopped.''

''- Otaku-Eckidina: Why exactly I did that anyway? I'm just like her so why I killed her to free her soul from this suffering? Maybe I took pity on her? It was a sister-instinct? I don't know exacly but I'm glad I did something for her after all.''

''Soon the body of the Cyborg creature faded and Eckidina's Cyborg  Full Form was disappearing, returning her appearance to her human form. As soon as the Cyborg stopped moving, the Artificial Demon disappeared and returned to the Otaku-Eckidina's Artificial Demon Gears.''

''Misogi rushed to Eckidina's body that cold, pale and lifeless... It was a scene that billions would pay to see, including most of the people that were fighting against her. The lifeless body of Eckidina KnightWalker, the woman that caused so much suffering to the entire world in less than 1 year and made billions cry in agony and despair.''

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

- Misogi: No way...​​​​

Like a husband holding his dead wife in his arms, Misogi embraced Eckidina's body in his hands as he removed the bayonetas in her body, revealing her beautiful but pale face.

''- Misogi: Why? Why? Why?''

''The Otaku-Eckidina walked towards Misogi and pet his head again like a mother comforting her son. Now, there is only one Eckidina now...''

''- Eckidina: You may hold a grudge against me but I did what I consider to be the best for her. Better to let her die in peace than let her be alive to suffer eternally... Well, if you believe in Heavens and Hell, there will be no difference. Because you know to where people like her go... Misogi. I may put this in your brain as an advice: you can still avoid this fate... Deep inside you have a good heart and you can still avoid the fate of your beloved Master, who turned out to be your best friend and also your lover.''

Misogi cried in the deceased Eckidina's chest as the new Eckidina put the daggers back into the locker.

''- Eckidina: Misogi, she simply reaped what she planted. You can't expect people who plant rotten fruits like us to reap good fruits filled with warmness and beauty. We are horrible people and we eat rotten fruits filled with diseases and maggot. Physical beauty or how beauty in your dreams, that simply doesn't matter. If you use tactics like us to achieve good things, that means we are wonder in the same. We are not different. Even if I'm some lunatic dictator who kills innocent and slave my own people for the progress of my nation, I'm a bad person in the natural laws. Some people may consider you a martyr human and natural logic are different... Even if she was a monster, she was a living being so I had no rights to remove her lfie from her eyes; I'm just like her.''

''Misogi bit his own lips until they started to bleed. At the same time, his tears fell on the face of Eckidina, who was until then with opened eyes but he soon closed them.''

''- Misogi: YYou kil-lled h-her... But I know th-hat w-was for the best... I-I understand what you're trying to say... But without her, I have no reasons to live anymore.''

''- Eckidina: ..................... It's up to you find a new reason to live, young one.''

''Eckidina then looked at the window and noticed the explosion of the warehouse of MPS continued there as the wind of the explosion hit the glass of the building. ''

''Soon afterwards, the door of the office was kicked and several SWAT KnightWalkers entered with heavy guns. The first thing they saw a mutilated body of a female KnightWalker on the floor. Second, it was Misogi crying over Eckidina's body. Third, it was a person similar to Eckidina looking at the explosion on the other side of the town while her hands were in her back.''

''- KnightWalker 1: What happ--! MILADY!!''

The KnightWalkers immediately dropped their weapons when they saw Misogi embraced in her body and rushed towards them.

''- KnightWalker 2: Impossible... She is dead...''

''One of the KnightWalkers could be heard crying on the back of the office while the others changed their sight to the person similar to Eckidina and pointed their guns at her. Naturally, they were confused as there were two Eckidinas... One was dead on the floor and the other one was alive standing on the window.''

One of the KnightWalker then asked to Otaku-Eckidina with a curious face.

''- KnightWalker 3: Who are you? What happened here?''

''Eckidina then turned around to show her face to the soldiers... The red and orange flames of the explosion on distance illuminated her face in a devilish way while exposing a seductive smile of confidence.''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - EckidDi?: "What happened here?" You ask... Well, my folks. What had just happened here marked the end of an era... From now on, a new generation will rise! This night marks the end of the old generation of mankind! The Era of Eckidina KnightWalker starts now! I feel sorry for those who couldn't finish off Eckidina but I can't help but LAUGH! Eckidina was really pathetic in the end... But now it's my turn, I'll show them all the true meaning of HELL!

''Eckidina then walked towards the deceased body of her sister, making Misogi release her body. The KnightWalker could swear they were feeling a bizarre feeling coming from that Eckidina but they did know what exactly is that feeling.''

".....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

''Much to the shock of everyone there, the Otaku-Eckidina pierced her hand on Eckidina's dead body chest and pressed her hand against it. ''

- Misogi: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

''Misogi yelled at the Otaku-Eckidina as the guards looked to the other side to avoid seeing such brutal and disgusting scene. Seconds later, Eckidina showed the heart of the deceased Eckidina, the heart that many desires to hold in their hands for vengeance.''

Despite Misogi's complains, Eckidina ignored him and walked towards the window while carrying the heart of her deceased sister. <p style="text-align:center;">'' - EckDiab??: T̼h̡e͎y̬ ͅw͙i͔l̢l̟ ͉p̺a̯y̟ ̝f̣o̡r̬ ̖w͜h̠ạt̖ ̤t̝ẖe̮y͙ ̹d̲i̲d̝ ͕t̥o̜ ̹m̙y̟ ͎b̧r̠a̧v̞e̦ ̢s̜i͍s̳t̝e̢r͍.̠.͎.͈ Those humans bastards... the Fallen's Essence...

<p style="text-align:center;"> Vatican  <p style="text-align:center;"> St. Peter's Ballisca  <p style="text-align:center;"> Papal Throne Room  <p style="text-align:center;"> 7:20 AM 

''Inside the papal throne room, there was nothing but silence. Slowly regaining his lost power, Pope Michael Langdon was meditating alone inside his papal throne room before suddenly, he opened his eyes. His eyes turned inhumanely red all of a sudden. It was a clear sign that Michael had noticed there was something happening, something bad for him.''

He sensed a horrible and malicious entity that appeared on Earth, something that he never saw before...

- Michael: Could it be...

''Michael bit his lips before standing up from his throne, and then he slowly walked down from the stairs. Michael looked around in sheer fury and paranoia. He was not happy, not happy at all. Days and days had passed, and Michael's mental state worsened, making him paranoid and panicked.''



''- Michael: I don't understand! I have already get rid of Firenza Junior and his subordinates! I have made truce between myself and Heis! I never disturbed Godom Empire and vice versa! I have been inside the shell of this church for too long! What threat could possibly--- Wait a minute... Could it be Maria Arzonia? She had just returned as a spirit... and she is going to... No, it can't be...''

''Michael suddenly fell repulsive for the first time in his life, and so he started to cough after collapsing on the ground. Just at this time, a towering knight with long blue hair rushed himself into the church.''

''It was Brother Petros, who went towards the pope and looked at him closely with concern. Aleister Crowley and Antonio Borgia were accompanying him.''

''- Petros: Your Holiness! What happened?!''

''Petros immediately helped the pope and patted his back. Michael raised his hand and looked at Petros, Borgia and Aleister.''

''- Michael: I am fine. I am fine.''

''Petros helped Michael to get up. In fact, Petros was a loyal man who was always loyal to his Master no matter what happened. Aleister Crowley looked at Michael with great full of concern.''

''Aleister was in the disguise of his brother, Abel Nightroad, in order to instigate some further plans. After the previous battle against La Nueva Familia de Arzonia, Alesiter's possessor, Cain Nightroad, had to keep his true form hidden in order to regain his lost energy. Therefore, Cain summoned Aleister's soul and made him into a doppelganger of Abel, with vampiristic ability, in order to furtherlize his plans.''

''- "Abel": It must be the doctor's fault, Your Holiness! He supposed to check on your injuries!''

"Abel" was calm while speaking this, but Petros was more furious.



''- Petros: Or... maybe the chef did not washed his hand before cooking! I told him that our pope is obessessively tidy...''

Sweating in horror, Michael slowly raised his hands and interrupted them both.

''- Michael: My injuries had already healed, and I did not eat anything. I'm just upset. I want to know if you people found Maria Arzonia.''

Petros sighed as he shook his head with dismay.

''- Petros: We have put up a 5-million-worth of bounty on Maria Arzonia's head, just as Mother Superior once did, but currently she is nowhere to find. We cannot find her collaborators like Yuri Barnes, Matt Butcher and Magilou, either.''

Michael then covered his head and closed his eyes with a sigh.

''- Michael: I thoght getting rid of Firenza Junior will stop Arzonia's actions... and yet it never lasted for eternity. At least, we buried the Russian Resistance and the Russian Orthodox Church. Is there anything else you want to inform us, Brother Petros?''

Petros nodded as his face kept serious like always.



- Petros: Recently, I had discovered that there were some sort of missing population happening in our parishes around the world, and it was apparent that someone was trying to get our people for some sort of mysterious purpose.

''Michael slowly stood up and closed his eyes. He just realized that things were getting meltdown.''

''- Michael: I need Cardinal di Medici to return to his position as the Head of the Department of Inquisition. Ask him to be in my throne room in two hours.''

- Borgia: Why two hours?

''- Michael: I need more time to deal with something utterly horrible which I just felt by using my magic. I need time to check it. I've been inside this place for far too long, and it is time for me to strike!''

''Suddenly, a squeak of some bird could be heard as a large hawk flew into the St. Peter's Ballisca. All people inside the ballisca turned to see the hawk flying into the place.''

''- Antonio: It's my hawk. It must carried an important message.''

''However, the hawk did not landed on Antonio's shoulder like it used to do. Instead, it started to flew above the clergies, squeaking in panic. All of the people were astonished by this, and Antonio narrowed his eyes in surprise...''

''- Borgia: And it is urgent. Otherwise, my hawk won't behave like this.''

- Michael: What did your hawk say?

''Antonio Borgia closed his eyes to hear what his hawk was trying to "say" as he then clench his fist and started to sweat and tremble in panic. Michael saw this and his face went blue as well.''

- Michael: Cardinal Borgia?

''Borgia bit his lips and it started to bleed. He then turned to Michael with his eyes closed tightly.''

''- Borgia: Y-Your Holiness... There is a robot...''

''Michael's eyes widened into size of plums due to his sheer curiousity, and then he looked up into the sky. He then recalled the awful and upset feelings he had just felt a short time ago. Michael can't figure out what kind of robot it might be, but then he started to deduce that it would be a horrid menance.''



''- Michael: (think) *A robot is something urgent? If that is true, then... what robot it might be? I must take it seriously...*''

After having an imagination of some robot in his mind, Michael then looked back on the face of Antonio.

''- Michael: l see. What kind of robot is it?''

Borgia started to take a deep breath in order to calm himself down.

''- Borgia: "It" - or "he" - is a robotic scientist who had his own free will. Rumors said that he was from outer space and was destroyed years ago, but... somehow he was back from the dead and rount himself here on Earth. The most terrible thing is that he was capturing people all over the world, men, women and children, from cradle to grave, and I don't know what he was trying to do.''

- Michael: How can you not know?

''To Borgia's surprise, Michael then interrupted the words of Antonio with horror. His face went pale in one second and went red in the next. Borgi8a never saw such an expression on Michael's face.''

- Michael: How many are those victims?

''- Borgia: As far as I know, maybe those victims could be line up on the entire Great Wall of China, but I don't know how many of them are. However, we found that this robot made an organisation on his own... which he named it Manufacturing Progressive Sciences. What is his purpose after all?''



''- Michael: You asked me? Can't you see?''

Michael narrowed his eyes as he slowly losing his composure.

''- Michael: What would a scientist do with humans he kidnapped? Of course, he will make them subjects in his human experiments... and he is no scientist, merely a beast who used humanity as his guinea pigs. I don't know about this so-called Manufacturing Progressive Sciences, but I am sure that even with those petty experiments, it is still unmistakable that I am the one who shall in charge of this world!''

Michael was enraged once again and he grabbed a glass on a table beside him and threw it on the wall.



- Michael: NOOOOO!!!

''The glass smashed itself on the wall before it shattered into pieces. Those fragments dropped on the ground like a rain of glass shards. Michael blinked his eyes and then he regained his own composure once again. The clergies looked at the scene with horror, but Brother Petros immediately went back into his own battle stance once again.''

- Petros: Your orders, sir!?

''- Michael: Does that robot ever have a heart? Does it ever have a soul? It is unbelievable that it dared to treat its prisoners in such a brutal way. We have more civilized way to do human experiments if we need to. It's just... utterly unbelievable... This kind of creature... or thing.... shall never respect magicians like us, and so... we need to teach them respect...''

Michael started to take a deep breath before he turned to Petros immediately.

''- Michael: I want him dead. After I find out where he is, I will tell this to his ugly face! Brother Petros, you must bring me his head.''



Petros then walked towards Michael to tell him some more news.

''- Petros: Very well. By the way, Your Holiness, I forgot to tell you that I heard Emperor Tathagata Killer from Godom Empire was trying to take down some sort of "mechanic monster". I assume it was this droid, B1-Killer-or-whatever-CM-130. We must help him.''

Almost immediately, Michael looked at Petros before he nodded in agreement.

''- Michael: Yes, very well, and let us begin. I want to contact Tathagata now!''



- "Abel": HOLD IT!

''Aleister Crowley, now in the disguise of Abel Nightroad immediately raised his hands as he blocked Petros' way. Seeing this, Petros was both confused and shocked by Aleister's actions. Michael was surprised as well.''

- Michael: 'Aleister... I mean, Abel?!'

''- "Abel": Michael... I mean, Your Holiness, I am sorry, but please think twice. This is a chance for us, in my opinion, not a enemy. As far as I know, I don't think this robot shall be a threat if we made an alliance with him... to take down Katarina Couteau!''



Michael's face lit up as "Abel" showed both his index finger and his middle finger to Michael, making a "V" gesture meaning "two".

- "Abel": Both physically and mentally.

- Michael: ......

Michael closed his eyes and it was apparent that he was reluctant to do so, but soon he opened his eyes once again.

''- Michael: You just read my mind, "Abel"... You're right. After many months without facing her directly, I can sense she is stronger than before. In my current state, I don't know if I or anyone related to my organization can defeat her now. I think she must have trained a long time to control "that mysterious energy" inside of her.''

''Michael then let out a devious look as his green eyes turned into red. He did not smile, however, as he was still in a bad mood.''

- Michael: That's why you are in charge of it.

''"Abel" widened his gaze and was shocked by it. He did not expected that Michael was so fast to change the idea, and he was even more surprised when he heard that it was him who would find that mysterious and blood thirsty droid.''

''"Abel" looked at Michael's face with surprise, but Michael did not show any sign of emotions. However, for some reason, his eyes were glowing red... His eyes were burning in hatred and wrath.''

''- Michael: I am serious. I want that robot know to respect us when we dealt with Katarina Couteau. I don't think he will buy the words of any religion, but at least he must show us respect!''

As he was talking, Michael then looked a blade hiding inside the left sleeve of his robe, and then he looked at Cardinal Antonio Borgia.

- Michael: Bring me the map of the world.

With no time to waste, Antonio immediately went to fetch a large map of the world and he placed it on the floor for Michael to take a look at it.

- Michael: Perfect...



''Crouching down on the ground, Michael narrowed his eyes and carefully survey the enormous map. He slowly revealed the blade from his left sleeve.''

''- Michael: This droid must now be inside some place that was secret and hid itself as well as his experiments from the public. However, even if he can hide himself from anyone, he can never hide from me, not from my magic!''

''Then, much to the shock of those three clergies, Michael then cut his own wrist and poured some blood on the map. Much to people's horror, Michael seemed that he was not painful at all.''

- Borgia: Your Holiness, what are you doing?

Michael answered but did not turn his head to caught the sight of Antonio.

- Michael: Shh, this needs concentrations.



''After some blood ran on the map, Michael casted a spell and healed his wound immediately. Curiously, the blood drops remained on the map like dews on a leaf, and it never burst on the map.''

''- Michael: Now, hmm, show me where the leader of the Manufacturing Progressive Sciences is. His name is... B1-Killer Kampfdroide Unit-CM 130!''

By using his newfound power, Michael immediately spelled out the full name of CM 130 after knowing it.

Brushing his wrist with a piece of hankerchef, Michael immediately casted a spell as his blood had flowed on the map like running drops of mercury.

Then, those blood drops soon went to France quickly before they brusted at the dot citing Paris, painting the entire France on the map red.

''- Michael: Hmm, Paris... The capital of KnightWalker Family...''

''Michael made a finger snap as the blood stain on the place of France started to burn, and despite the small tongue of flame disappeared quickly, there was a hole on the place of France. Michael slowly stood up with a smile filled with sheer satisfaction.''

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Michael: Find him and teach him some lessons! '

Act 2
<p style="text-align:center;"> Paris  <p style="text-align:center;"> 2,000 meters away from MPS Base  <p style="text-align:center;"> 1 hour later  <p style="text-align:center;"> 8:20 AM 

''At the street of Paris, when the first glimpse of sunlight shone above the streets of Paris, Matt Butcher and Maria Arzonia were running in the streets, trying to avoid someone or something. They ran into an alley not far away from the former KnightWalker Family as Matt suddenly stopped to catch his breath.''

''Maria stopped and turned back in panic. She was sweating in shock. ''

''- Maria: Oh, come on! What is going on?! We must hurry!''

''Matt only kept breathing as he held on the wall beside him. ''

- Maria: Is that what happened after I brought you back from the brink of the abyss?

''- Matt: Just allow me to... catch my breath... You're a Spirit with a MPS Cyborg Armor! Anyway, why did you took it?''

''At this moment, Maria was still wearing that silver mechanic Cyborg Armor she just snatched from the facility. Using this armor, she made a way out from MPS' surroundings. Maria immediately rushed to Matt and tried to pull him desperately.''

''- Maria: There is no time to explain... But I liked it! You think Michael is going to spare us after we destroyed the former Mother Superior and his secret weapon? He made Carl into Sleepy Hollow in the past, and if we don't save this world from Eckidina and get the Grand Grimoire, we would never going to save him, not to mention that we are now in an enemy territory. ''

- Matt: All right, Maria, but...

''Matt then showed two announce ment search warrent, for him and Maria respectively. Matt's bounty was 20,000 euros while Maria was almost 300,000,000 euros. What was more, the portrait of Matt was utterly disfugured, with his nose being drawn into a exaggrated shape.''

''- Matt: This is really terrible! Why is my bounty much lower than you? What is worse, they can't even make my nose right!''

''- Maria: Come on! Now,  our spy in Catholic Church  has tell us that Aleister Crowley is heading towards Paris while disguised as Abel, and we cannot risk ourselves in this place. Now, we have to run away. By the way, who cares about a face on posters?''

During the battle against the Church three months ago, a member in the Fallen Roman Catholic Church turned against Michael in secret, due to being disgusted by Michael's actions, and became a spy working for Arzonia Family.

(- Narrator: Please keep this in mind. This spy's identity will be revealed in future episodes of Firenza Junior spinoff.)

After Maria grabbed the papers from Matt, but Matt still tried to produce comic relief moments as he took a look at Maria's poster.

''- Matt: Oh, this is easy for you to say, but... you looked amazing! ''

''Maria bit her lips and then she glared at Matt, being not amused at all. Of course, Matt was mad because they made Maria's most wanted poster perfectly.''

- Maria: Had you catched your breath?

Matt slowly stood up and faced forward.

''- Matt: Uh, yes... I just wonder where the real Abel goes... I'm afraid that--''

Before Matt could finish, he was interrupted by Maria, who extended her arms towards the sky with a bored face.

- Maria: Then, for the Heavenly Sake, run!

''Maria immediatly grabbed the hand of Matt before they started to run away from somewhere. Behind them, there was several KnightWalker Troops who were chasing them under the orders of CM, but they thought it was Michael's men.''

''- KnightWalker 1: Oh, shit! They ran too fast!''

''- KnightWalker 2: Dr. CM will be furious if we fail to catch them before the Church did... But why in the world he wants money anyway?''



It was those troops' turn to stop and catch their breath.

''- KnightWalker 3: He don't want the money, he just refuses to lose to the Church... Like I child showing who is better.''

Unit-CM 130 is seen as a vicious and scary leader even among his organization but there are some who see him as a child who refuses to lose in a game or competition.

''- KnightWalker 1: This is utterly awful! I fired more than ten shots at that lady, but none of those bullets harmed her in any way!''

- KnightWalker 2: That lady is a monster, and we must think another way...

Suddenly, the walkie-talkie of one of the troops had rang and it was apparent that it was a call from CM who had some orders on them.

The KnightWalker troops all looked at each other in sheer fear and realized that if CM called them, there won't have good consequence.

- KnightWalker 1: Do we need to answer him?

The KnightWalkers stared at each other, thinking in an answer and decision.

- KnightWalker 2: I think rejecting shall not be a good idea.

- KnightWalker 3: Fine, I'll answer it.

The KnightWalker troops immediately opened that walkie-talkie and answered CM's call.

- KnightWalker 3: Yes, sir?

CM's dark and chilling voice came out of the machine, making everyone shivered in fright.

- CM (radio): [Belay that order, Captain.]

- KnightWalker 3: But Dr. CM...

''- CM (radio): [Silence. Those two young people can't escape from my territory, so we don't need to be worry. Soon or later, my spies disguised as civilians will capture them. I will deal with them later as long as they are trapped in here. I want you to return as soon as possible, since... we have a special guest who just visited us.]''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Ward Walker 000 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Laboratory No.45 

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> 8: 30 AM 



''At this time, "Abel Nightroad" was confronted by several guards that were armed and dangerous. He used telepotation to arrive in Paris but he was stopped at the gate of the door.''

- "Abel": You guys, please allow me to see Dr. CM 130, he is your boss, right?

The guards were holding their rifles, pointing at "Abel" as he was putting his hands on his head.



''- Guard 1: We don't know what the hell are you talking about, Cardinal Crowley, but sadly, we do not accept religious people in this place... Rules from Unit-CM 130 himself.''

''"Abel" shook his head in disatisfaction. He did not showed his weak side in front of those menacing guards of MPS.''

''- Aleister: Unbelievers, you are? Well, I kind of like to face some unbelievers. It makes me feel better.''

''- Guard 2: Your infamy had caused Dr. CM's concern and he will kill you no matter what you do. Nothing personal, we have nothing against you or your Church... But this is our job.''

''As he was talking, "Abe;" found out that there were more KnightWalker soldiers who were coming to confront him. It was the very squad that chased Maria and Matt.''

''- "Abel": I have message from the pope, so I think it would be better if he comes out and face us! You know, France is a country with Catholic belief. If you dare to offend the Pope... You will know the serious consequences it shall fall upon you all.''

".....!!!!!!!!!"

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - (???): FUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! ''



''Suddenly, a deep and twisted chuckling voice could be heard not far away and then, Aleister noticed a towering robot was coming towards him. It had a skull face and was bitterly grinning. It was very disturbing to see, and Aleister was mildly chilled by this.''

''- CM: There are no heaven in this world. There is no God. There is one one hell, the one we are at now.''

"......"

- "Abel": You... you must be... Dr. CM!

''"Abel" gulped as CM was giving him the chill on his spine, and he was greatly disturbed. No wonder why Michael was disturbed by its presence.''

''- CM: Yes, indeed. But not at the same time. You see, my real me is busy inside of the building. This unit droid you're looking at right now is my former body. I'm a droid you see, so I ca transfer my data and memories to other mechanical bodies. In other words, I can create clones of myself... Making me a near-immortal being as I can even turn my own data into a virus to travel through network connections. I had just discovere this ability recently and is already being useful. ''

''CM hit his own metalic chest with his claws and the sound of a heavy iron echoed on the air... That droid seemed to be heavy and very resistent to be destroyed by normal human weapons.''

''- "Abel": It's just like the rumors said... You have a independent mentallity. You can do whatever you want and talk everythoung you whenever you want. ''

The Skull-Face of CM's body gritted his teeth before rising his hands.



''- CM: Welcome ito my department, Father Abel. I am surprised that your pope located it considering I have one in Novosic Kingdom, but that is not a problem. Please stay a while.''

CM clapped its claws one time after another, and after three times of clapping, CM's minions immediately rushed to Aleister before they subdued him and tied him up in ropes.

''- "Abel": WHAT IS THE MEANNING OF THIS!? I am trying to negotiate with you! DR. CM! ANSWER ME!''

"Abel" tried to resist, but one of the guards shot him on his leg and Aleister had to bent his knee.

- Aleister: ARRGHHH!

CM flew towards "Abel"'s direction and used his claws to cut his face.

''- CM: There is no need for negotiations. I know what you want, and allow me to tell you what I want! I want to purge your useless religion in the City of Vatican where your dumb hell-pope sat on his pathetic throne! You should not come here and visit me. I once was dead and people called this as a punishment from God... God? You know there is no God, right? It was only bunch of craps from people who try to stop you from becoming who you really are.''



''CM then dragged "Abel" into his laboratory with a devious grin on his face. They walked into the corridor and Aleister tried to resist, but it was futile.''

''- CM: There was a time... when a fanatic like Pope Michael Langdon... could have had me thrown in prison for my ideas, tortures. Maybe even castrated, like Brother Abelard. These are not Middle Ages, no matter how tightly your good pope and his brood like you try to hold on their fairy tale. No, this is my time now; the Era of Science.''

- Aleister: Why are you doing this to me?!

''CM scoffed as he kept dragging Aleister and walked towards his lab. CM opened the door, and Aleister was shocked to see a collection of brains on the shelf, all in their respective glass jars.''

Before answering Aleister's question, CM then strapped "Abel" on a chair surrounded by MPS scientist with a strait-jacket.

''- CM: The Devil never lives in Hell, Aleister. The Devil lives right here, in the frontal gyrus. The occiptal lobes. I believe in the existence of Demons and Devils, because once I met face to face with a woman who claimed to belong to a Hellish dimensions. She was not only a demon in person but had supernatural powers as well. From that day, I started to believe supernatural things exist. But the way how you worship Gods who are nothing a bunch of arrogant beings with supreme powers who do nothing but eat, drink and have sex while their creations kill themselves... This is the reason why I absolutely hate your pathetic God and admire the Devils who lives between us... I don't hate only them but I show no mercy for those dumb enough to worship them hoping they are saving themselves from Afterlife.''

''CM darkly answered the question of "Abel" and then he raised his hand as a woman in an attire of was taken into the lab by two guards. ''

''At the same time, the door of the laboratory opened without warning and a new person had just entered in the lab... But Aleister could immediately say that person was not human... That being was indeed a Cyborg as it had both human and robotic parts installed in its body... And from that point of view, the Cyborg was a male. ''



''"Abel" was shocked when he saw the screaming nurse, and he even ignored what CM was going to say as the latter was looking at those ten jars of brains on the shelf. The Skull-Face and Cyborg then started to speak at the same time, with the same voice, and same phrase''

- CM (2): '[Inside those beautiful brains, lies the secrets to understanding the darkness of the human psyche. And ten of them put together... are not as dark as what resides right here, in this cute, white melon.]'

''When CM started to touch the forehead of his victim, Aleister was looking at that nurse being stripped in front of him and suffering physical abuse by CM's guards, so horrified Aleister was that he immediately went back to conciousness after a great shock. As they continued beating her up to shut her, the Skull-Face droid was deactivated and now only the Cyborg was speaking.''

''- CM: Greeting, Aleister Crowley... I'm sorry I had to switch bodies to bring you here but that droid you saw there is just a puppet now. I cloned it and made several bodies for me in case of emergency. My real body is this one, a Cyborg body... For now.''

"Abel" widened his eyes in shock as the true CM walked towards the huge Skull-Face droid and cleaned it a white cloth.

''- "Abel": A C-Cyborg? So were not lying when you said you could transfer your memories and data to another mechanical being.''

''CM dropped the white cloth and smiled like a normal person... But Aleister could perfectly see that smile was nothing but a false emotion to hide his wrath of being called as a "liar" by a follower of the Catholic Church.''

''- CM: How rude, I'm not a liar. I am this 'hateful' figure because I throw the truth of myself in the face of all people. I show my true self to all world to expose myself... My true being.''

''CM then snapped his fingers to order his guards stop beating the nurse. The guards immediately looked at Unit-CM 130 and saluted like soldiers before leaving through the door and locking it without saying a word.''

- "Abel": Who is that woman?

CM merely turned his head robotically to look at the nurse, with scorn.

''- CM: You mean her? Well, she is just a simple nurse from my division who was shivering like a coward when I ordered her to do my work. Recently, a woman known as Lusamine was acting like this nurse as well but over time, that woman found her true self in my workplace... And now, she is one of us. But this woman, no matter what I do or how many times she is forced to inject blood of rats in infants to break her character, she never showed any sign of changes. Therefore, Cardinal Aleister, it is time I present you... how MY rules works in this place.''



CM let out another smile at the nurse, who was creeping on the ground, breathing harshly.

''- CM: The thing is, this is what one of many things that will happen after my underlings defy me... I'm not evil, you know. But you can only change people through fear and intimidation. So using people like her to show an example to what happens to the ones who dare to not follow our rules is important to make others stay in line.''

''CM then opened its claw as he bent his body. It seemed impossible for some robot like him, but much to Aleister's horror, CM did. He grabbed the nurse and made her lie on the ground before he start pricking both of his thumbs into her eye sockets.''

- Nurse: 'DR. CM! PLEASE! NOOOOOOOO!!!!'



''- CM: You had you chances, my dear. I warned you. Your partner warned you too. But you valued more their lives than yours. What a pathetic choice... Nurse... Nurse... You must excuse me, like humans, I have no memory to remember the names my subordinates.''

No matter how the nurse begged for mercy on the ground, CM's iron fingers still went into the eyes of the nurse, and Crowley was devastated by what he saw, start to struggle, but his wound on his leg made him impossible to escape.

- Nurse: 'AHHHHHHHHH! AH! AH! AH... MY EYES! MY EYES! I CAN'T SEE! EEEEEAHHHHH!!!'



''The nurse cried in horror and pain as she was trying to crawl away, but CM won't allow this. He picked up an iron stick which attached to a drill. Just as the nurse was crawling, CM struck the nurse's heart with that drill, with bloodshedding everywhere in the lab.''

''"Abel" could not believe what was happening right in front of him, but CM merely treated this kind of pain inducing torture like a normal day. He slowly brushed off the blood on his thumbs with a piece of white hankerchef, and soon it was tained in red.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- CM: Finally... Punishment is served.'

- "Abel": ......

"Abel" was struck speechless after seeing the death of that nurse, and CM looked at him in a horrid and sadistic expression as if the droid was trying to see through his soul.

''- "Abel": Have you lost your mind?! Why on Earth are you doing this?!''

''CM's red eyes was glowing ominously. He was not pleased that Aleister still could not understand the meaning of his experiments.''



''- CM: Why? This is only one of the many ways that established my punishment, Cardinal Aleister. I want to know if you are here for something from me... Before I grant you a chance to serve a greater purpose.''

"Abel" looked at CM with a look full of sheer anger.

''- "Abel": You are pathetic, and honestly, I hate to break it to you... but you are nothing but a beast who defile both science and religion... at best.''

''CM was angered by "Abel"'s words and he looked at the stripped Cardinal in a strait-jacket with a sullen look. However, "Abel" showed no fear.''

- "Abel": The pope only wants to deal with you since both of our sides have the same enemy - a red-haired girl with an unknown power that is beyond comprehension, Dr. CM. You are throwing a chance away from yourself!

All of a sudden, CM was surprised as he heard the words "a red-haired girl" and his eyes widened in sheer curiousity and he walked towards Aleister with sheer menance.

''- CM: Hmm... your words seemed correct. Her name is Katarina Couteau. I know her. I once saw her in person and I took some interest in her abilities, her unknown energy is sure a thing that deserves my attention. But honestly, her energy is not that "unknown" for me because I once knew many people who had her energy... Decades ago but after some 'incidents", Katarina's race was totally exterminated. Well, recently this girl killed one of my subordinates and destroyed one of my facilities in Brazil. I know many things about her but the fact that she must one of the last one of "that race" is already impressive.''

"Abel" pushed his body forward but the chains in the chair prevented him from jumping in surprise.

''- "Abel": Katarina is the last one of her "race"? What do you mean by that? You know something, right?!''

"....!!!!!!!!!!!!" 

''When Aleister noticed CM grabbed a sharp medical tool, he immediatelly tried to struggle to escape from that chair. With the tool in hands, CM walked closer to him while cleaning the blade with his fingers.''

''- CM: Indeed, I know... But honestly, I have no interest in joining a organization like the Church. To send a message to to your ignorant pope that I refused your offer, I'll send you as a present.''

CM then approached closer as "Abel" tried to escape more violently.

''- CM: By the way, I saw your search warrent, and you were looking for a English boy and a Spanish girl. As an advice, leave them to me. You have no rights to capture anyone in my territory!''

After shouting in sheer cold-blood, CM then started to flay the skin on "Abel"'s face with his sharp blade, and "Abel" howled in pain and agony as CM started to skin him.

- "Abel" / Alester: 'AHHHHH!!! PLEASE! STOP! NO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO! GOD! HELP ME!'

Due to the extreme pain he was enduring, some original voice of Aleister started to come out of the fake Abel's body, which quickly alerted CM, who peered at his victim with malice.

- CM: YOU'RE NOT ABEL NIGHTROAD!

''Due to the Frankenstein-esque nature of Michael's doppelgangers, since they were created through some magi-tech manner, CM quickly discovered that this Abel is an impostor, but still he didn't relent at all in inducing torture. No matter how Aleister cried in pain and despair, CM did not stop flaying his prisoner. Meanwhile, at the door, a green-haired man rushed into the corridor before attacking the guards of MPS, just as CM continued to mutilate Aleister when he was still alive.''

''- CM: Fine, no matter who you are, can't you see the truth in this place? Even after all I said and done? '''There is no God in this forsakened place. Science itself is the true God.'

- "Abel" / Aleister: 'NO! THIS IS NOT THE SCIENCE I KNOW! PLEASE! STOP!'

Suddenly, the door was broken by an unknown supernatural force and then, CM and all of his subordinates turned back to see a green-haired man who was holding two sharp blades.

It was none other than Terra of the Left.

- Terra: Let him go!

Aleister was nearly in comatose due to his loss of skin and blood, and in nigh-unconciousness, he saw Terra in front of him before his vision turned darker.

- "Abel": They have guns, Terra!!

''Aleister wanted to speak more words but soon he fell into comatose due to the sheer pain he suffered. CM turned back to Terra already with a horrid and menacing grin.''

''- CM: Very well, a new test subject is here... And what an ugly human.''

Terra then swung his blade and cut down two of the MPS scientists beside him while looking at CM in sheer rage.

''- Terra: I have no time for this, Dr. CM! Pope Michael knew about your current mutilation and now he sent me for you! I demand you to release Cardinal Aleister immediately... And shut this labotory down, or you will be like this! This is your only warning.''

Terra then pointed at the corpses on the ground, but CM merely looked at those corpses with cold blood before giggling sarcastically.



''- CM: Their death serves for a greater purpose and they die worthy. Terra of the Left... I guess this is what you've called by many of your followers... In fact, you have no rights to bargain with me. I am the one who will bargain with you.''

- Terra: What do you mean?

Before answering, CM immediately untied and released Aleister, who recollected his Abel persona and was nearly undressed and deeply injured.

''- CM: I will released him as you requested, since he told me that we faced a same enemy, but as an fair exchange, I want the pope's permission to get minor Catholics into my lab for my experiments. My own experiments shall never stop, and it cannot be stopped. In fact, it has just begun... You can my tests and works mere torture but using humans as guinea pigs makes my weapons more effective... More effective against my enemies... And your enemies... My purpose in KnightWalker Alliance is to develop stronger and more effective weapons and biological weapons... Creating and selling weapons are my only function. If you want to have success in your next missions, you will need me...''



''Terra realized just how horrid "Abel"'s condition was and he wasted no time to help him get up. However, soon he heard the crying of a child coming in a nearby lab. Terra looked at CM with shock and CM grinned in a horrid way.''

''- CM: Don't worry. That is only a child test subject in a nearby lab. We injected a Chinese girl with all kinds of virus and transformed her into something we want... The virus will quickly consume their brain and reproduce in an amazing speed... Their numbers will be so large that their skulls will explode as it will have capacity to hold so many. Well, the virus is suppose to be dropped into enemy states. Before they arrived, those subjects were less than men, but thanks to me, they are now beyong human... Their sacrificies will lead us to victory.''



Hearing this, Terra was shocked by CM's actions and confronted him immediately, wanting to punch him.

''- Terra: Heavens! You're a monster! You are worse than I am! You're killing an innocent child!''

''However, before Terra could strike down, CM raised his hand and started to punch Terra harshly, one time after another, and Terra was electrocuted several times when CM hit him. Terra screamed in horror and pain before he immediately fell on the ground, defeated. ''

''- CM: I heard that a lot. Only people who can't understand the meaning of my actions will call me a monster; of course mindless idiots. And also, you said "innocent". This word is such a lie nowadays. No one is innocent. Even children are capable of leading other children to insanity by bullying and animal abusing. The difference between them and I is that I have a morality and goal for my actions. No matter how cruel and evil my action are, my means justify my ways... So, how is going to be? You will agree with my terms or I shall recognize you as a guinea pig just like that piece of trash of woman there?''



Slowly regaining his conciousness and strength, Terra struggled himself to get up and he looked at CM with an resentful look.

- Terra: Fine, and as a return of favor, we will not spill the information about this base, but remember - this is not over, not over yet!

''Terra then gave one final glare at CM before he teleported himself alongside Aleister and disappeared in the air with a green smoke. CM looked at their previous position with a scornful scoff. Then, CM turned back to the KnightWalker soldiers he once ordered to capture Matt and Maria.''

''- CM: By the way... Did you find those two people? Did you find Matt Butcher and Maria Arzonia? Especially Maria, who stolen my Magi-Tech Suit. That CR-Unit based in the Wizards of DEM's suit took me weeks to be made. Think in the mess Maria Arzonia will do with that.''



The guards looked at each other with panic, and CM went closer and closer with menace.

- CM: No?

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

''The soldiers were too frightened to answer CM's question, and CM immediately found out what might happened. His hideous face was more and more threatening.''

- CM: Such a disappointm--!

Before CM could sigh in in dismay for allowing such incompentent soldiers do his work, one of the KnightWalkers in the second line dared to open his mouth to find an excuse.

''- KnightWalker 1: W-WE TRIED! WE REALLY TRIED! BUT NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES WE SHOOT AT THEM, OUR BULLETS PASSED RIGHT THROUGH THEM! THEY ARE NOT HUMANS! NOT TO MENTION YOU CALLED US BACK!''

''CM, however, ignored his excuses and shook his head and raised his hand, then several other droids came into the door and immediately subdued those soldiers no matter how they tried to resist. The droids took the KnightWalker soldiers' weapons and forced them to kneel on the ground.''

''- CM: I just want to tell you that failure is not what I am about to accept. I once thought you captured them easily, but I was wrong. As a result of that, you will replace them as the new subjects of my freezing experiments.''

The KnightWalker soldiers tried to speak but CM's minions immediately had their tongues cut with blades, and then those droids turned back and sent those soldiers into the place where the freezing experiments were operated.

Act 3
<p style="text-align:center;"> Vatican  <p style="text-align:center;"> St. Peter's Ballisca  <p style="text-align:center;"> Backyard  <p style="text-align:center;"> 1 hour later 

''Michael strolled in the backyard with his face as pale as stone. Terra stood beside him as he lowered his head in dismay.''

''- Terra: We sent Father Abel to hospital as soon as possible, Your Holiness. It was apparent that robot did not want to cooperate with us geniuely.''

''Terra had no idea about the doppelganger or the soul of Aleister Crowley. He just thought it was the real Abel, who returned to the service of Langdon Orphans, though he can't figure out why. Start holding the wall beside him, Michael closed his eyes as his head started to sweat and his hand was shaking.''

- Michael: Did you sent my warning to him?

''- Terra: I did, but he won't listen. He said he won't give up those inhumane human experiments and demanded us to allow him to do experiments on some minor clergies.''



"......!!!"

All of a sudden, Michael immediately held his chest and almost fell on the ground, and his face went blue due to shock.

- Terra: YOUR HOLINESS!

''Michael covered his face with both of his palms... and he deviously chuckled.''

''- Michael: Fufufuhahahaha! Such an insolent piece...! But I do not except that someone dare to defy me so directly! I have seen evil around this world for many years, but this monster that had no soul really makes me want to vomit...! I worthy piece of trash who deserves to be destroyed! I must admit I don't want to lose!''

''Michael then stood up, sweating. His face seemed more fragile as if he turned 40 years older all of a sudden but he somehow managed to keep his devilish grin.''

''- Michael: Hmm, killing children and infants? Lots of them? Well, it was such a surprise that even someone like me can be disgusted... Honestly, I don't know if I'm disgusted because someone who is not me is even more amoral... Or if there is still a piece of humanity inside of me... That droid may be a robot but he is able to think by himself... It makes him more like us.''

- Terra: So, what are we going to do?

Michael then sighed and regained his composure, and he walked into his garden.

''- Michael: There are some kind of creatures in this world who have no souls, no morality, no sense of emotions. Maybe, robot itself is a failed being of God's creation, which are humans. However, I am not in the mood to blame whoever that built that droid.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Michael: I only wish he will make the blood power of Firenza Junior bloom.

Terra swept the sweats on his forehead as he looked at Michael cautiously.

- Terra: You mean?

Michael sighed once again as he turned back.

''- Michael: I heard him searching for Maria Arzonia and Matt Butcher as well, so I think it is too early if we see him as an enemy. For now... If this CM don't want us to interfere, then let him be. Losing some minor clergies is not a great deal for me. Very well, let's accept his terms. However, if he dare to touch my next goal I am about to achieve... I will going after him even if I die for it. I'm awared that Godom Empire, KnightWalker Family and all other nations of this military alliance are dependent on him but that waste needs to learn his place.''

Michael then swiftly went into St. Peter's Ballisca as Terra followed him, wondering a question.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Terra: (think) *What is Michael planning to do?* 

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

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

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

Many years ago, Vatican was considered to be the smallest country on the planet but this, however, changed when Michael Langdon became the new pope.

Since his election to pope, Vatican began to expand its territory to the rest of Rome while Italy's government still weak after the constant attacks of KnightWalker Family 3 years ago during the Global Civil War with the KnightWalker Funeral Parlor.

''Due to how small Vatican was before, there was only one hospital on the local. This hospital is valled Bambino Gesú. Unlike other hospital across Rome that received update in their design, the old building of the hospital continued the same but was updated with very well advanced technologies to medicine.''



''And right now, after the cruel meeting between "Abel Nightroad" and Unit-CM 130, Terra had sent the injured "Abel" to that hospital to be treated and healed... Needless to say, vampires are capable to regenerate their injuries in a matter of seconds but for some reason "Abel"'s injuries were not healing.''

''Luckily, there are a few people who truly knows he is a vampire in Vatican and the world outside. And also, luckily the anatomy of vampires are pretty much likle humans but with a few different details.''

''At this moment, "Abel" was lying in one of the many beds at the Room 400 of the Hospital. His injuries were so terrible that even the most experienced doctors were shocked to witness such terror.''

Due to his state after he was rescued by Terra, he is unconscious for a hour but he soon recovered his sense and woke up.



- "Abel": ...............

"Abel" slowly opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling for a long time before turning his gaze to his right side, where he saw many other beds in the room.

- "Abel": Where I am?

''"Abel" then used the rest of his strength to jump off of the bed to walk away. Immediately, he recognized that was a Hospital but he had many things to tell Michael at the moment; it was not time to stay in bed.''

However, a woman dressed in white nurse uniform carrying a tray with soup opened the door of the room and found the patient trying to leave from his rest.



''- Nurse: Sir Abel, I'm beggining you to return to your bed. Please. Direct orders from the Pope himself.''

Believe it or not, the Pope in Vatican have the same authority of a President of a certain nation.

''- Abel: I don't have time to stay here. I need to tell Pope Langdon about "him"...''

''Abel's first contact with CM was a disaster, it not only declared an atmosphere of hostility between the Catholic Church and MPS but also ended in the physical harm of one of the most important superiors of the Church. Due to the nature of this case, it seems Michael planned to keep it in secret to avoid future problem and so Unit-CM 130.''



- Nurse: You can't. Just look at your skin.

".....!!!!!"

''Abel didn't notice this at first but his arms were wrapped in bandage. When he removed them from his right arm, he saw his hand was pale and skinny to the point that his bones were almost appearing.''

- "Abel": What in the world....

''Abel touched his hand and felt an intense pain, almost like if his other hand was freezing his right-fragile hand. But that was not the case, it seems CM injected some kind of drug in his body during the section of torture. The effects of this drug is unknown but the hospital somehow managed to stop its effect with an antibiotic, which means the drug injected in his body is known by the medicine of Earth.''

''- Nurse: Your body is currently under the effect of serum. ''



''It was just like the nurse said, even without her warning "Abel" already felt dizzy just by standing. He also could barely feel his limbs moving and his vision was blured.''

''- "Abel": I see... This is why... ''

''"Abel", despite the warnings, continued his way towards the exit to meet Michael at any cost... It may be exaggerated to say but "Abel" probably gained some kind of fear of Unit-CM 130. Obviously. Only few people who are tortured by CM get out of their suffering alive... When they escape, they usually enter in state of paranoia and panic for the rest of their lives until they commit suicide. ''

"Abel" then finally gave up and fell in his knees, forcing the Nurse to rush to help him before he can get worse.

''- Nurse: Don't make things more difficulty, Mister Abel. You're too hurt to even talk. Return to your bed.''

''"Abel" was carried by the nurse in her shoulders and had no other choice but to obey her commands... Not to mention it was a direct order from the pope himself to keep "Abel" resting until he is fully healed to report what truly happened in that base... ''

He knew about the most important facts but he wants to know who Unit-CM 130 truly is and if there is even a possibility to form a new alliance in a near future.​​​​​​

Part 1 - Salvation of Judas Iscariot
<p style="text-align:center;">''The Paladin of the secret organization of Vatican, Iscariot, contacts Leonardo and informs the Judgment Day is coming as the Revelation of Qliphoth continues to expand its influence over the world. Leonardo then starts an operation to begin a coup in Vatican, revealing the true and mysterious weapon of Iscariot... a weapon from the Gods... What Iscariot's true intentions and what is this weapon called Lilith?'' <p style="text-align:center;">''Ratatoskr and the Rogues arrives in Rio de Janeiro and plans to use the state as their base until they can fix the damage caused by the previous battle with Akrak Couteau's military. Meanwhile, the Rogues descend Rio de Janeiro to investigate about the sudden disappearance of Vira Hermes' demonic army. But what is awaiting for them down there?''

Act 4
<p style="text-align:center;"> Italy  <p style="text-align:center;"> Rome  <p style="text-align:center;"> Iscariot's Temple  <p style="text-align:center;"> 5 kilometers away from Vatican 

''Like it was mentioned before, Vatican expanded their territory since the beginning of Third World War but they were not the only ones to expand their territory. ''

The Catholic Church have many other sub-factions working to their current leadership, Michael Langdon such as the Langdon Orphans that carried out many of the personal missions from the deceased Mother Superior Melancholia.

''Aside from the Langdon Orphans, the Church also have a very dangerous one that carry out the military operations of the Church. As mentioned above, they are in charge of the large-scale operations that requires the strength of an army to defense, or, in worst case, attack their enemies with weapons. ''



''Before the introduction of this original military organizations 30 years ago, the responsibility for defending the state from an aggressor lied primarily with the Italian Armed Forces. ''

''Since it was founded in 1929, the Vatican City State has never been at war and has only seen anything close to military action when it was bombed during World War II. Even in WWIII, the forces of the Catholic Church stayed in complete silence and only expanded their territory in Rome.''

'' Historically, a number of other military units have existed on the territory of the Vatican City State with ceremonial rather than military duties, including the Noble Guard and the Palatine Guard, both abolished by Pope Paul VI in 1970. The Vatican City State has within its territory the Pontifical Swiss Guard or Swiss Guard. The Swiss Guard is a small force maintained not by the Vatican City State but by the Holy See and is responsible for the safety of the Pope, including the security of his habitual formal residence, the Apostolic Palace. It cooperates with the Corps of Gendarmerie of Vatican City, a civilian force maintained by the Vatican City State, in controlling access to the entrances to the city-state, though the controls effected are physically separate.''



''In 2036, the new organization responsible to protect Vatican from imminent attacks as well as carrying out important military missions is called Iscariot Section XIII, a secret organization of the Church that is only known by the special members of the Church... ''

''- Voices: Lord, may nothing separate me from You today. Teach me how to choose only Your way today so each step will lead me closer to You. Help me walk by the Word and not my feelings. Help me to keep my heart pure and undivided. Protect me from my own careless thoughts, words, and actions. And keep me from being distracted by MY wants, MY desires, MY thoughts on how things should be. Help me to embrace what comes my way as an opportunity... rather than a personal inconvenience. And finally, help me to rest in the truth of Psalm 86:13, 'Great is your love toward me.' You already see the ways I will fall short and mess up. But right now, I consciously tuck Your whisper of absolute love for me into the deepest part of my heart. I recognize Your love for me is not based on my performance. You love me warts and all. That's amazing. But what's most amazing is that the Savior of the world would desire a few minutes with me this morning. Lord, help me to forever remember what a gift it is to sit with You like this. Amen.''

''Inside of the huge Church-like Palace known as Iscariot's Temple, thousand of voices echoed through a huge hall filled with seats and beautiful white walls painted with religious draws. The voices were coming from men and women dressed in military outfits similar to Inquisitors of the medieval era. All of them were also armed until their teeth, something bizarre considered they were in some kind of Catholic mass. ''

''After everyone finished their pray, I loud male voice echoed from the end of the Hall... The voice came out of a young man dressed like a priest. He has white hair, brown eyes and dark skin. He appeared to be wearing his attire that includes red cape, stole with cross symbols, cross necklace and earrings.''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Priest: For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and self-discipline. Amen. ''

''The young man who was making his role as priest, then bowed before a huge cross located right behind him. That cross was so huge that everyone at the last seat of that hall could see it. To be precise, that cross had the size of a cruise!'' - ''Priest: Well then, my dear brothers and sisters. This is the end of the mass for today. Don't forget to keep reading your Gospel Page 405 until the page 500. Also, be prepared for your physical test coming next week. ''

''The men and women dressed as white knights known as Papal Knights, bowed before their superior and began to leave the Church one by one... Actually, that place was no Church, it was a giant temple that came literally from a fantasy game. And more importantly, that young man was no normal priest, obviously... His real name is Leonardo Cruz, who is known as one of the most important figures of the modern Catholic Church. Not only that, he is also the Archbishop of Iscariot, meaning he is in charge of the organization and holds 45% of the power of the Church by himself.''

Leonardo then walked down the altar where he was standing and rose his hand, creating a sphere of red energy in his hand before leaving from the temple through the back door.

''- Leonardo: Fools... ''

''The young man opened the door and looked around. Outside of the temple, there was a beautiful garden similar to the garden of Eden. The temple of Iscariot is not actually only that huge hall.  The temple itself is a palace with different locations and have a huge territory of 4 kilometers... For the lack of words that temple was bigger than the old Vatican.''

''- Leonardo: All of them are equal... Mindless sinners without capacity to free themselves from the chains of this world.''

''Leonardo rose his head and closed his eyes as the wind of the garden hit his face with kindness. The expression he was making was not a calm and cold face like he was doing before at the mass... It was a sad and unhappy expression... An expression similar to a suicidal person with serious social and psychological problems.''



- (???): Is there something bothering you, my child?

''Leonardo is a person who spends most of his time thinking about the world and how society is falling to the dephts of darkness thanks to the advance of technology and Internet... Because of that, he can easily get scared when someone suddenly appears beside him and call his attention.''

''A tall blonde man suddenly appeared behind Leonardo with a big smile in his face. He seemed to be an old and experienced priest of the Catholic Church.''

- Leonardo: Professore?

Leonardo called the mature priest as "professore"  that means "teacher", "master" or "professor" in Italian.

''That priest is called as Father Alexander Anderson and is one of the most powerful members of Iscariot, if not the Catholic Church as a whole. He has short, spiky gold hair, blue eyes, a defined squared jaw, and light facial ha. He also has a large, wedge-shaped scar on his left cheek.He is lean with broad shoulders and very tall. ''



''He wears round glasses, a large white cassoc, grey pants, black boots, a black shirt, a clerical collar, white gloves, and a silver cross around his neck. On his gloves, there are inscriptions written across the crosses drawn on the back. The right-hand says "Jesus Christ is in Heaven". The left-hand says "Speak with Dead". This is later changed to "Speak with The Dead" and in his last few appearances said, "Iscariot Section XIII".''

''- Leonardo: Imagine... There is nothing bothering me. I'm just tired.''

''Leonardo's face changed to a comfortable smile as well. It seems that young man has affection for his teacher Alexander Anderson. Actually, Alexander is a priest that is working to the Church for decades so even the most old members and archbishops working to Michael Langdon were trained by him.''



- Alexander: Another mission from Michael himself?

''Leonardo's expression once again changed but this time, to disgust.. In truth, Leonardo like many others priests and leaders of the Church's sub-factions, hated Michael at some point. Most of them hated Michael because of his tyrannical rule over the Church while others hate him because he is too young to be the global Pope of the Christianism.''

''- Leonardo: No... It's not him. I'm just worried with something else... Something much worse than KnightWalker Family.''

- Alexander: I thought you considered Michael to be your greatest enemy... ''Obviously, yes. Michael is an enemy to Leonardo and his Iscariot group for joining the KnightWalker Alliance. Leonardo is a person who believes in love and peace, so joining ANY foreign military group is an extremely wrong move to the Church... This is why Vatican stayed neutral during the World War II.''

''Many of the political ideologies of both KnightWalkers and Stabilization Union are considered by Iscariot as works of the devil and no matter their goals, waging war to achieve their objectives is the way of evil. Michael himself don't see to be bothered by helping the KnightWalker Alliance and other dictatorships to conquer neutral and enemy nations by making the religious people help in the defeat of their own nations.''



''- Leonardo: He may be, but the greatest enemy of Iscariot itself and the enemy for all mankind, lies in another world beyond our knowledge. They are moving, professore.''

Anderson smiled sarcastically, breaking the image of his kind and gentle old priest. ''- Anderson: I already know that, my child. It seems the Judgement finally has began.... After thousand years fighting Qliphoth, we, from Iscariot, will finally launch our ultimate weapon to end Astaroth King and his minions...''

''It's just like he said. Iscariot is a top-secret section of the Vatican's operations. They are one of the primary foil to the Revelation of Qliphoth and even the Witch Cult whom they consider as heretics. Given that the Revelation of Qliphoth not only employs demons, zombies and evil spirits but runs on the principles of staunch Protestantism, Iscariot is their natural rival. Also, the Iscariot is in constant war with Ratatoskr as well mainly for being aliens who threat the existence of Catholic Church; despite their similar aims, they do however work together when necessary. Named after Judas Iscariot, the apostle who betrayed Jesus Christ, Iscariot is a top-secret wing of the Vatican, charged with the active pursuit and extermination of all things vile and unholy to the point of fanatism and even suicide. The followers and warriors from Iscariot are highly trained men and women armed with Holy Weapons.''



''- Leonardo: Yes. I think we can't hold this project from Michael anymore. The Iscariot has its own personnel and tools that not even the Church have access, but once the Judgment begins, nothing will matter.''​​​​​​

''The Iscariot Organization is a Roman Catholic organization, and see it in their interest to kill demons and evil spirits because they are naturally evil and are an abomination before God. However, Ratatoskr kills demons if their actions are evil or wrong as they are living being who can also think by themselves, especially if they kill humans. Ratatoskr will not attack a demon unless it poses a threat to mankind or United States. Iscariot, on the other hand, kills demons because of what they "are". Unlike the rest of the modern day Catholic Church, Iscariot is vehemently opposed to the Idea of Ecumenism, they say that young orphans should only engage in violence against "monsters and non-believers."''​​​​​​

''Not to mention, Iscariot is just like the Witch Cult that is fighting the forces of Astaroth King for thousand years. There are rumors, however, that Iscariot has been around for 500,000 years before the existence of Witch Cult. If this is true, that means Iscariot is fighting Astaroth King since the beginning of all civilization.''

''- Anderson: Well, I don't think we can hide 'her' from Michael for too long. Michael and his influence will soon reach our archives and secrets until they are exposed.'' L

''ike Anderson mentioned before, the Iscariot have an ultimate weapon of the Christianism. Such weapon is unknown by all Church, even the soldiers fighting for Iscariot don't know the existence of this weapon yet. Only the leadership of Iscariot knows what exactly is this weapon.''

''Until this time, it's unknown what exactly is this weapon but it must be something dangerous even to Astaroth King (who is actually a "Queen") who is said to be the Demon King of all evil on Earth... ''

Not to mention, this evil queen has all demons on the planet under her control and the Witch Cult has been fighting those things for centuries.



''- Anderson: Hmm.... Astaroth Quene, huh? I never thought that monster would finally act. After so many centuries.''

''- Leonardo: You're familiar with what is happening in Saudi Arabi, right?  Needless to mention, Saudi Arabi was under the attack of a tsunami made of blood. When an animal or person is devoured by this tsunami of blood, they become zombies and act like beasts while flowing in the tsunami of blood. ''

After many hours, it was correct to say half of Saudi Arabi's country is now under blood.​​​​​



''- Anderson: Hmmm... Never in history Astaroth attacked like that. With the exception of small village and primitive socities, this is the first time Astaroth and Qliphoth invaded an entire nation. If they are already planning to take over Earth, then this is the time.''

''- Leonardo: I know Astaroth Queen for many years. And I doubt she will hesitate in spare us this time.''

''At some point many years ago, Astaroth Queen met Leonardo in person, however, she used a host to visit Leonardo. This story happened 10 years ago but the details are still in the shadows.'' - Anderson: So we will use "her" to defeat Astaroth Queen.



''The "her" Anderson is talking about is the ultimate weapon of Iscariot. Until now, no one ever saw this weapon except for Leonardo and the high-council leaders of Iscariot. Whatever it is, it's an organic being, in other words, a living being and not a war-machine.''

''- Leonardo: Yes, we will. And not only Astaroth Queen will be defeated. Once the Iscariot release the mankind from its sins, we will be lead to a new era of love, peace and harmony. No more wars, no more fights and more death. We will make paradise on Earth without our Lord to guide us. Death and misery will happen during the Judgment Day of Qliphoth but once we use this cataclysmatic event starts, we will stop the forces of evil with Lilith and bring peace once again to this world. The birth of a new world and a new era.''

Leonardo then smiled happily, without showing traces of malice.

''- Leonardo: Shall we see her? Our salvation Lilith?''

Leonardo began to walk away with Alexander Anderson following him.

''- Anderson: The Blackness is also growing stronger. Can't you see it?''

''Anderson looked at the flowers and saw a strange black smoke coming out of the garden. That dark smoke was everywhere. This thing is called "Blackness", a demonic energy that came from Qliphoth and is growing stronger since the beginning of World War III. This thing appears to be corruptive and will turn humans in cruel being if one gets tainted by the Blackness. Recently, Tomas Sev was infected by the Blackness thanks to Vira's doing and is slowly losing his sanity.''

''In addition, it seems that only a few people can see it. Maria Arzonia, for example, is a Guide Spirit and can clearly see the Blackness while normal humans cannot. The mages from Witch Cult are able to see it as well. Since Iscariot has been fighting the Revelation of Qliphoth for centuries, their soldiers are trained to see such presence since from their birth.''

''- Leonardo: This war is spreading the Blackness like never. That's why we should act now before everything is lost.''

''Leonardo and Anderson continued walking until they arrived in another Church inside of the Iscariot's temple. However, that Church was smaller than the Church where the ritual of Iscariot was being held a few minutes ago. This one was just normal and was very small inside with a few seats, a piano and an altar full of flowers.''

''- Anderson: It's been decades since I last saw Lilith. I hope she is fine.''

Anderson and Leonardo entered the church and made their way to the altar without rush.

''- Leonardo: Lilith is a being that is alive for million years. A few decades in exile is nothing to her.''

''Leonardo then touched a buttom on the top of the altar that opened a huge hole below the altar. That hole lead to a stair on the darkness. If one were to analyze that scene, he would probably say it was a scene from Indiana Jones' films... Something that happens very often in George Lucas' movies.''

''- Leonardo: I remember it. When I was a child, you would often sent me there to visit Lilith. I was afraid of these stairs... Now, I feel that darkness is no longer my greatest fear. Now, I fear humans more than anything. Yet I still love them.''

''In his lifetime, Leonardo walked the path of suffering and despair. He and his comrades fought for their faith and beliefs, and in return, they failed and died. ''

''He once hated everything, from God to humans. He claims that he hated humans, not because they had killed him or his comrades, but how humanity easily accepted it as a repeating system in history where life is priceless yet has no value. He finds humanity to be just like Ouroboros, eating themselves in order to grow. ''

''Leonardo admitted to his failure, his mortality and his guilt. So, he forsook his heart filled with hatred, for the sake of humankind's salvation. He claims he does not hate humanity anymore, and that he will save the current nine billion people and the people from past and future. In reality he is trying to save humanity to forgive himself for not being able to save a single person, he wishes for everyone to throw away their selfishness and create a world where everyone is saved and happy. ''

H''e desires to make use of the power of the Gods to fulfill his own ambition. He simply wished the happiness of all mankind, for innate goodness to be found in the heart of all humanity.''

''Leonardo and Anderson walked down the stairs and arrived in a round platform. Once they were on the top of it, the platform began to go down at the same speed of an elevator. After a few seconds, the platform left from the darkness and revealed a giant man-made hole with many lights... It was like the deepest pit of Earth that was leading to the core of the planet.''

- Anderson: Do you still have of heights?

And yes, Leonardo once had fear of heights like most people but nowadays this fear disappeared.

''- Leonardo: Imagine. Nothing scares me more than humans.''

''Leonardo looked at a panel right beside him. That panel was showing how many feet they were going down. After 2 minutes, they were 50,000 feet below the surface of Earth. ''

''That hole with so many kilometers of depths was man-made... In truth, it would be impossible to hide such giant construction from the Pope Michael Langdon... What lead one to think that place was build dozens or even hundreds years ago by Iscariot to keep their ultimate weapon safe from invaders like the Americans, Italians, KnightWalkers, Black Demons and among others... Probably, not even the Pope himself is allowed to go down there due to the nature of the weapon.''

''Now, 10 minutes had passed, and the two were now 50 kilometers below the level of the sea... No human managed to go so deeper in planet before... Well, at least not a person known by the public because Iscariot did it before any human.''

''As they continued going deeper, the place was only getting more scary, weird and bizarre. Now, the man-made construction disappeared and the elevator was passing by a red environment that was similar to a living being's body.''

''It was something that humans cannot explain but it was indeed similar to  blood vessels of an organic being. To be precise, a normal person would describe it as if he or she suddenly became on the size of a bacteria and was now visiting the body of another being.''

- Leonardo: .................

''Leonardo and Anderson were not making any sounds. Any normal person would be extremely scared at this point but they were cold like ice. The elevetor continued in its route to the depths of Earth. ''

''The elevator now seems to be inside of some red tube that was protecting the two from the radiation of that place. The elevator than passed through the ground of the blood vessels by a hole. ''

''Once the elevator passed, they arrived in a new floor that was finally the last floor where the so-called Lilith was being held... And the scenary is surreal.''

''- Anderson: My Lady... Lilith...''

"....!!"

''Once the elevator stopped moving, the two were now in a giant round hall with nothing but red walls and a giant cross on the middle. That cross was even more bigger than the cross at the Iscariot's church on the surface... This one had the size of FRAXINUS! And on the cross there was a giant organic being crucified just like Jesus Christ during his execution... Yes... That thing was Lilith... ''

And that thing was not small, it was probably bigger than Eiffel Tower of Paris!

''- Leonardo: Lilith. Mother of all.''

Leonardo and Anderson left the elevator and bowed before the white-creature.

-' Anderson': Mother of all life.''

''Lilith is a figure in Jewish mythology, developed earliest in the Babylonian Talmud (3rd to 5th centuries). Lilith is often envisioned as a dangerous demon of the night, who is sexually wanton, and who steals babies in the darkness.''

''The character is generally thought to derive in part from a historically far earlier class of female demons (lilītu) in ancient Mesopotamian religion, found in cuneiform texts of Sumer, the Akkadian Empire, Assyria, and Babylonia. In Jewish folklore, from the satirical book Alphabet of Sirach (c. 700–1000) onwards, Lilith appears as Adam's first wife, who was created at the same time (Rosh Hashanah) and from the same dirt as Adam – compare Genesis 1:27. (This contrasts with Eve, who was created from one of Adam's ribs: Genesis 2:22.)''

''The legend developed extensively during the Middle Ages, in the tradition of Aggadah, the Zohar, and Jewish mysticism. For example, in the 13th-century writings of Isaac ben Jacob ha-Cohen, Lilith left Adam after she refused to become subservient to him and then would not return to the Garden of Eden after she had coupled with the archangel Samael. Evidence in later Jewish materials is plentiful, but little information has survived relating to the original Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian and Babylonian view of these demons. While the connection is almost universally agreed upon, recent scholarship has disputed the relevance of two sources previously used to connect the Jewish lilith to an Akkadian lilītu—the Gilgamesh appendix and the Arslan Tash amulets.''



''That creature known as Lilith appears to be a vaguely-formed roughly sized humanoid upper torso with blubbery white flesh, of non-distinct gender. Lilith has no legs or hips, its torso terminating in blobby masses with dozens of humanoid-sized pairs of legs growing out of them. Lilith is kept restrained in the most deep pit of Earth, crucified onto a giant red cross: large nails are driven through its palms into the cross from which it hangs. Lilith has five fingers on each hand (just like a human). Lilith remains totally immobile and unreactive, simply hanging limp on the cross it's nailed to and unresponsive to events around it.''

''Perhaps Lilith's most distinctive feature is the purple mask which covers its face. Lilith has seven eyes arranged in two vertical rows on its face, three on the right and four on the left, and the mask contains holes for each of the eyes. Etched onto the mask is a pointed-downwards triangle which intersects all of the eyes (except for the lowest eye on the left).''

''- Leonardo: Look at her. So glorious and majestic. Low scums like Eckidina KnightWalker, Astaroth Queen and Michael Langdon are not allowed to witness such beauty. This is our dream, our long dearest-wish and our victory: PEACE!''

''Leonardo and Anderson rose their head and met their eyes with Lilith's... ''

''Despite that thing was alive somehow even after having that strange spear sticked in her chest, it was not moving at all. More importantly, it was not breathing, meaning it didn't need to breath to live. ''

''Aside from its, or "her" breath, the creature known as Lilith was not moving at all. Not even its eyes were moving inside of that mask of bones. Until now, that creature's origin is unknown... But one thing is certain:''

<p style="text-align:center;">' That creature is not from Earth... Worse... It came from a place very far away... Very far away... From another dimension... And Iscariot is planning to use its power against Qliphoth--But here is question? Ratatoskr. Revelation of Qliphoth. Iscariot Section XIII. Deus.Ex.Machina Industries Empire. Manufacturing Progressive Sciences. New World Order. Can anyone win this war? '

Act 5
<p style="text-align:center;"> South America 

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

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

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

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

- Kotori: Welcome to Rio de Janeiro, kids.

After almost 2 days of trip, the space ship of Ratatoskr, Fraxinus, finally arrived in its destiny; Rio de Janeiro, the capital of the state with the same name of the former.

''Katarina and all the rest of the Rogues entered on the bridge as soon as they heard the news about their arrival.  Unlike the rest of Fraxinus' crew, the Rogues who lived most of their lives on ground, were not used to live in a flying object like a ship or a planet so they were getting extremely tired of being there, stuck in Fraxinus for days.''

- Imperia: Hallelujah!

- Katarina: Well, it was about time!

''Shido Itsuka approached Kotori while glaring at the monitor of the bridge that was showing the front vision of the ship. Fraxinus was right now in a dangerous point of vision. ''

''Due to their secret-organization identity, they cannot be seen by the public for OBVIOUS reasons. However, thanks to the camouflage of the ship, they cannot be seen by the people below.''

''- Shido: Now, what should we do next? Search for them?''

''- Kotori: No. When I was at the Radar sector, I could not find any traces of their fleet. The others were right, it seems the Revelation of Qliphoth's ships vanished like if they went to another dimension... Could it be a trap?''

Shido leaned against Kotori's chair with a confused expression.

''- Shido: So that means we will play their game? We were brought to Rio for some reason.'' Kotori crossed her arms and let out a bored expression.

''- Kotori: I don't know exactly what they are planning but this time our forces are ready for combat. We will not be caught by surprise like they did last time in Morte. So we can fight them in their own game.''

''Kotori is just like that, she may be intelligent but she hates people who find themselves superior to her. The Revelation of Qliphoth's move is to lure Ratatoskr to Rio where they can attack at the same time; this is what Kotori is thinking about what Vira planned for them.''

''- Lucas: That means we will have to fight those bastards again. I'll make sure to repay what they did to us. Cowardly attacking us after a long and deadly battle with the Zero Numbers--Kotori, where is Cassie? I thought she was going with us this time.''

Kotori looked at Lucas with an awkward expression.

''- Kotori: Sorry Lucas, she said she is going to stay today. It seems she will be busy with her daily exercises.''

''Cassie is a woman who NEVER skip her daily exercises. Even in military missions, Cassie never gave up in practicing her sports. She do that at least two times all days of the year to keep her body healthy and strong.''

''- Kotori: Considering we are playing their game, we can't let our guard down; both the Rogues and Ratatoskr. Listen up guys, we will divide your group in two.''

''Kotori bit her lolipop with strength, breaking it in pieces inside of her mouth. When this happens, you may consider Kotori is dead serious.''

''- Shigure: Kotori? What do you mean split us?''

''- Kotori: It's exactly as you heard. Considering we are now in enemy territory, we can't just focus all of our forces in one place leaving Fraxinus unprotected. Listen, I'll now divide you all in two teams.''

''Tomas then entered on the bridge with a pale face. At the same moment, Kotori changed her sight to him and everyone could notice her worried expression with him. Considering the recent events related to Tomas and the Blackness inside of him, it was more than obvious Kotori would focus more on Tomas... Actually, she had already decided what she would do to him.''

- Kotori: I'll tell you the details later but for now, I want to tell you this, Tomas: you're going to Rio with the others.

"....!!!!"

''Kyouhei, Lucas and Katarina widened their eyes in shock... Obviously, they were the only ones aware of Tomas' bizarre condition.''

''- Katarina (think): *KOTORI! WHAT ARE DOING?! LETTING HIM GO TO BATTLE WITH HIS MENTAL PROBLEM NOW IS SUICIDE!*''

''Atala, who was flying beside Katarina, noticed her uncomfortale expression and linked her feelings with Kotori's... Coming to the conclusion there must be something happening with Tomas that no one knows.''

- Atala: Hmm...

Atala tried to hide her doubts and changed her gaze to Kotori.

''- Atala: Kotori. If you allow me, I want to go to Rio. I know you're planning to split us in two teams. One of the offensive and another for the defense of Fraxinus. I may not look like but I have some knowledge of Black Demons thanks to my Cyborg's analysis abilities.''

''Atala is a Cyborg from KnightWalker Family... A former Horsemen of John serving the psychotic Uryuu Ryounnosuke. Interesting, Cyborgs also receive new updates in their brains all days, granting them new programs and abilities... It works like a computer receiving new updates from the central via-internet. Recently, Atala was able to gain new abilities like detecting demonic presence thanks to her contact with the Blackness.''

- Kotori: Sure, no problem.

Kawagoe, acting like an overconfident military leader, prepared to give his opnion what to do next.

''- Kawagoe: If you allow me Commander, I think we need to minimize the presence of the Rogues down there. If we just send them all to hunt down the whereabouts of the Revelation of Qliphoth, they will be stand up too much to the public.''

''Kawagoe may be an idiot or even stupid but he can be very smart when the time needs. Actually, most of the Fraxinus' crew act like buttheads yet they are there for one reason.''

- Kotori: So?

''- Kawagoe: How about we send everyone to a hotel where they can disguise themselves as tourists while acting as agents of Ratatoskr. I can provide a false passport and identity for Imperia, Tomas, Lucas and all the rest in mere '10 minutes.''

"......!!!!!!"

''Normally, it takes days for normal and criminal organizations to print a false identity of a citizen or an important celebrity. But for Ratatoskr and Global Pact Defense, however, they can create false documents in mere minutes.''

''- Imperia: Sounds good to me! May I decide what will my name be?!''

Imperia got really excited with the idea of the false passport and identity.

''- Kawagoe: Sure. The entire point of creating false documents is to change your original names to another one. I was going to give you a random name but if you wish...''

''Blushing like an innocent girl, Imperia closed her eyes in happiness... Actually, deep inside of her mind, she would love to change her name to something more Portuguese considering they were now operating in Brazil; a country that has Portuguese as the native language.''

- Imperia: Then I'll call myself as Carla Picamoles!

Kawagoe put his hand in his chin and thought about her request.

''- Kawagoe: Carla Picamoles.... Hmm... Doesn't seem to be too bad. Okay, I'll add this for you.''

''Everyone were bored and some of them had already left to prepare their luggage... But Lucas was the only one there who reacted negatively to Imperia's new name. Needless to say, Lucas is Brazillian and was born in Brazil. Even if his parents (Yen and Carla Kellan) were Americans, he could speak Portuguese like a second language.''

''- Lucas: Imperia... Are you sure you want to use "Picamoles" in your name.''

''Brazil is a country that is known by its extremely sarcasm and joking personality... In Brazil, Picamoles is a word formed from "Pica" and "mole"... In portuguese, Pica is used to describe a penis and mole means "soft"...''

In other words, Imperia's name would be Carla with Soft Dick.

''- Imperia: I'm sure! Not to mention, I prefer to use a portuguese name in a Latin country. Brazil was the primary Latin country in my list to visit.''

- Lucas: Do you really love this country, right?

''Imperia looked at Lucas with sparkles in her eyes. The latter immediately imagined what was passing in her head.''

- Imperia: The violence here is the best touristic point!

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

''La Folia Rihavein, the former persona of Imperia Deamonne, is the polar opposite of Imperia. While La Folia loved flowers, Imperia loves spiders. While La Folia loves silence, Imperia loves explosions and chaos. While La Folia loves peace, Imperia loves war at some degree... You can't expect to find 100% good people in the Rogues' side.''

''- Lucas: Ahhh... That's it...''

Lucas was once a natural Brazillian and even at that time he was a kid violence and crime were extremely high in the country.

''- Kyouhei: So with that said... And Imperia's penis name as well, we will now divide you in two groups. Katarina and Imperia, you will be in charge of the Vanguard of the group while Lucas and Tomas will be in charge of the strategy down there. ''

Kyouhei crossed his arms as the Rogues began to left the bridge to meet Kyouhei in another room to split up their group between the offensive and defense.

Part 2 - Jessica Bailey
<p style="text-align:center;">''With the assassination of the Fallen's Essence failed, the mastermind behind the attempt assassination was discovered to be Souda Kazuichi. After this failure, the Fallen's Essence demands the ending of the Ultimate Despair and the life of its leader, Junko Enoshima'' <p style="text-align:center;">''And while more and more Zero Numbers continue to arrive on Earth, kidnapping more and more people to Unit-CM 130's experiments, a notable mercenary from the past of Kotori Itsuka arrives on Earth. A brutal and inhuman mercenary woman who is ready to plunge Paris in fear and blood.''

Act 6
<p style="text-align:center;"> Europe  <p style="text-align:center;"> France  <p style="text-align:center;"> Paris  <p style="text-align:center;"> KnightWalker Supreme HQ  <p style="text-align:center;"> Eckidina's Office  <p style="text-align:center;"> 5 minutes later 

- (???): AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

''5 minutes later, inside of KnightWalker Supreme HQ in Paris, the screams of a male voice echoed through the hallways of the top floor of the building. Those screams were not from sadness or happiness but from pain, it was the voice and cries of a person who was in deep pain and suffering.''

- (???): AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

''Each 5 second, the scream stopped and continued again over and over, shaking the glass of all windows on the last floor. Yes. That voice was from the terrorist from Ultimate Despair organization, Souda Kazuichi, who was being chased by the private police force of KnightWalker Family of Paris.''

''Inside of Eckidina's office, Soda was tied up in the ceiling like a sand doll waiting to be knocked out by a box fighter. In front of him, Eckidina KnightWalker, or better known as Otaku-Eckidina, was looking over him while holding a taser in her hands.''

''- Eckidina: You know I don't like torturing people in person, Soda. But you left me no choice.''



Eckidina then rose her arm and pressed the taser against Soda's chest, electrocuting him again without mercy.

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

- Soda: AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

''Eckidina took this chance to slap him and kick him in his stomach. Considering there was no one on that floor besides Soda and Eckidina, it is safe to say Eckidina removed all her security from there to make sure no one would see this brutal side of her.''

- Eckidina: You don't only helped a conspirator like Tanaka to assassinate us but you also gave a hard time to my men from the police.

Eckidina proceeded to walk towards her desk in front of giant windows and clicked a button that dropped Soda on the floor with violence, almost breaking his legs on the process.



- Soda: Eckidina...

While lying on the floor like a dead animal Soda whispered her name, making Eckidina to approach him with a bored face.

- Eckidina: What is it?

The otaku got in her knees and approached her ear to Soda's head, only to be spit by the latter.

- Eckidina: I see!

''Eckidina quickly stood up and kicked Soda's face many times until his nose broke and his lips swelled. At the same time, many of his teeth fell down one by one. ''

''The former Eckidina (the Insane-Eckidina who is the target of Ratatoskr, Catholic Rebels, the Rogues and among many others) is far less violent due to her lazyness in leaving her dirty work to her minions. ''

''The Otaku-Eckidina, on the other hand, is calm and is seen bored most of the time yet she can easily get aggressive and violent when provoked... This rage becomes brutallity and she will easily tear apart people with her own hands. At this point, she may even bit the throat of a person with her own teeth.''​​​​​​

''- Eckidina: You tried to kill me, killed many of my men, destroyed many police cars of my unit and even spit on my face!! Who cares if you are losing your brainwash! I'll kill you here and now!''



Before Eckidina could finish him off by crushing his skull against her foot, the mastermind behind all World War III, the Fallen's Essence, appeared out of nowhere and touched Eckidina's shoulder to stop her.

''- The Fallen: [Hold yourself, Eckidina. We still need him. Losing a few police officers and security guards will not change the course of this war you know.]''

Eckidina slowly looked at her right side to see her master warning her and quickly turned her body around before kicking Soda's face once more as a bonus strike.

- Eckidina: We will continue later, moron.



Soda coughed blood before as Eckidina walked away and seated in her chair behind her desk.​​​​​​

- The Fallen: [Don't you think you have something to say, Soda?]

''The Fallen then looked over Soda like a sadistic predator watching his prey die in agony. On the middle of this tension, Soda began to cry for some reason but he kept his sarcastic grin. Even without saying a word, the Fallen discovered the former persona of Soda before his brainwash by the hands of Junko was coming back.''

- Eckidina: He is losing himself, danna-sama.

In Japanese, "Danna-sama" means "husband" but obviously Eckidina said that only for the lulz.

''- The Fallen: [Yeah, I can see it. It seems his mid is split in two due to his experience and time with Sonia that reminded him from his old days as a normal high-school student.]''



''- Eckidina: Speaking about his old days, shouldn't we send him to Junko to a new brainwash section? Tanaka was being kept in captive but I already sent him back to Junko in Italy.''

''It was not only Tanaka who was sent back to Junko in Italy. All Ultimate Despair terrorists were "kidnapped" and sent to Junko. Eckidina and the Fallen's Essence had to use such method because the terrorists of the Despair are not people who obey orders easily. ''

There is also the fact this is too suspicious to call everyone at the same time to see Junko in her secret base in Italy.

''- The Fallen: [Well, good work. At least the most difficulty one is already suffering a new a brainwash.]''

The person he referring as "difficulty" is without doubt Izuru Kamakura, who is considered to be the strongest human alive.



- Eckidina: That means this one is next.

''Before Eckidina could grab her phone to call to her security to take Soda to Junko in Italy, the Fallen extended his arm to his left as a signal to stop her from doing so. He then summoned a knife in his hands and put it in Eckidina's table.''

''- The Fallen: [No. It's not enough. This little punk tried to assassinate me... As Tanaka did. Torture him. Make him suffer. I want to see him scream before he forget all of this... Let's see...]''

''As the Fallen was speaking, a sadistic grin appeared in Eckidina's face... The scene of these two psychopaths preparing to torture him made Soda cry in despair... He wanted to scream but he had no strength to keep resisting the pain.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> - The Fallen: [Cut off one of his fingers.] 

Act 7
<p style="text-align:center;"> Europe  <p style="text-align:center;"> Novosic Kingdom  <p style="text-align:center;"> MPS' Private Laboratory  <p style="text-align:center;"> 5 minutes later 

''It's needless to say that the Manufacturing Progressive Sciences turned not only a part of Paris into a district full of facilities made with the solo purpose of conducting human experiments. ''

Since Sonia's death by the hands of the Zero Numbers, the special forces of Unit-CM 130, Novosic Kingdom has been under the direct control of CM and his organization as a courtesy of the Fallen's Essence to give him the proper respect for his work.

''One of the MPS' private laboratory is owned by CM himself to conduct experiments with the Zoyineian Virus extracted from Revy's heart that was ripped out of her body when Yuuki Terumi and Vergil fought and defeated her. And what happened inside of those laboratory you may ask? The obvious, human experiments.''



''- CM: Recording test number 34305. Fifth test of the day. We had astonishing findings. Subject 322 from the small village in the borders of Russia demonstrated remarkably high Zoyineian Resistance and the ability to absorb and neutralize this energy. The cause for this has yet to be determined, but it may very well be the thing we're looking for. We believe the DNA cells are compatible. PS: More subjects needed at the lab. Please set up recruitment.''

''Seated in the middle of several machines and pipes, the blonde young human clone of Unit-CM 130 was looking at several screens in front of him inside of a small room with a window. On the other side of that window, a large room with several scientists and a small girl tied up in a table could be seen.''

''As CM was speaking in the speakers, a scientist entered in the room carrying a jar with black liquid. That black liquid was indeed the Zoyineain Blood extracted from Revy's heart, the Zoyineain-Black Demon killed by Yuuki Terumi and Vergil.''



''- CM: We now shall proceed with the pratical phase... with the direct insertion of the Zoyineian blood inside of the guinea pig number 34205.''

''Without the need to tell his scientists what to do, one of the nurses inserted a syringe full of black blood inside of the veins of the young girl. ''

''The guinea pig was just a young girl... from the point of view of anyone, that girl was only 10 years old... Such inhuman act was so cruel that not even the nurse could hide her agony from doing such brutality. As the only woman there, she was the only one who was truly frightened to the point she could faint at any moment.''

- Scientist 1: If you can't handle this, leave.

''- Scientist 2: That's right. This is a laboratory of human experiment. You should expect things like this to happen. If you are not part of this, I suggest you leave this company immediately​​​​​​.''

''The two scientists wearing surgeon clothes said one after another to the nurse. Normally, that would be an friendly warning to make the nurse retire herself and keep her sanity safe... but that was not the case. Those scientists also started as a bunch of incompentents who worked to KnightWalker Family as scientists of weapons. But now, after the foundation of MPS, their hearts changed completely. After witnessing the power of the Zoyiniean energy, not even them, whom live under constant threat of Unit-CM 130, could keep their curiousity away from the powers Zoyineians.''

And with their curiousity, the two scientists used incredibly sharp drills and began to pierce the wrists of the girl who screamed so loud that the windows about broke.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Guinea Pig: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

''Without showing any emotions, Unit-CM 130, in his human body, watched over that horrible scene with pleasure. But he was that kind of man who enjoys the pain of others. No. Unit-CM 130 does not inflict pain in other people to get rush of their pain, he does all of his atrocities purely out of scientific curiousity.''

''- CM: We are almost there, pierce her wrists deeper. Full power!''

''Just like he ordered, the scientists accelerated the process and pierced the girl's wrists deeper. But that was not only that, the scientists also made deep hole in different parts of her arms. By that point, her arms were almost falling off but then...''

- All: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

''Out of nowhere, a black smoke began to came out of the girls' wounds, closing the holes like if they never existed. The blood disappeared like water evaporing and there not a single trace of wound left.''

- Scientist 1: T-This is...

- Scientist 2: Could it be...

''CM then stood up and laughed loudly. After months and months of research, CM finally reached the perfect state of his plan. His motive? It should be obvious by now. ''

''When humans are exposed to Zoyiniean energy, they become Gigalomaniacs monsters, mindless beasts that exist only to kill, eat, reproduce and die. But that was not what CM wanted even after so many efforts to transform humans in such creatures. If his plans could be divided between two phases, he just had completed the second phase: turning humans into perfect Zoyineain-Black Demons capable of thinking and control their powers in order to create an army of those demons under the control of the Fallen's Essence.''

''- CM: I did it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ''

''That was... the first time people saw CM laugh. Like anyone, his laugh was perfectly normal but if one looked closely, he had some kind of glowing eyes corrupting his happy face.''

- Nurse: Boss... ​​​

''Suddenly, another nurse entered in the room where CM was watching the human experiment. The nurse was speaking in a very awkward way... obviously she was afraid of CM's wrath.''

- CM: What's it?

The nurse took a deep breath and put both of her hands in her belly.

- Nurse: You have visit--!

''Out of nowhere, another person entered in the room, pushing the nurse on the floor with their height. It was a very tall woman. She was shown to have long curly dark red hair and fox-like icy blue eyes. She was wearing a black military uniform similar to the MPS' officers.''

''That was giving all people on the other side of the room shake like if she was some kind of mobile fear. The atmosphere that woman was carrying with her.''

''- (???): It's been a long time, doctor. 23 years now? I heard about your death in your death camp almost 2 decades ago... only to discover you're back again in this isolated planet of the 0th Multi-Universe. ''

''CM removed his gloves and let out a satisfied smile. He seemed very familiar with that person. Judging by her words, it seems she is also related to that mysterious DEM Empire Kotori mentioned several times before. The same organization that is behind the World War III.''

- CM: Good to have you back, Jessica Bailey, my strongest mercenary.

''Praised by CM, Jessica happily smiled as six women entered in the room, all of them wearing the same military uniform of Jessica. From CM's words, Jessica is in fact a mercenary... an ALIEN mercenary that came from another dimension. ''

''Kotori Itsuka said several times DEM Empire is one of the largest human-made empires of existence, having trillions and trillions of contacts. If the DEM had mercenaries working for them that wouldn't be a surprise.''

''- Jessica: Well, I see you are in good mood now for you to praise me like that! It's a honor to see you again so happy for the first time.''

''- CM: If I had to say, I just had success in one of the main experiments... soon the Gigalomaniac Project will begin and I'll be free from this rock they call "Earth".''

The women behind Jessica saluted to CM, which caused him to lift the sides of his lips in satisfaction.

''- CM: It seems the whole team is here. I didn't call you here for a simple greeting, Jessica. I want you to make a work for me. This time, your target will not be a mere person. It will be demonic beings.''

Jessica sharpened her eyes.

''- Jessica: Demonic beings? Triggers Hell?''

''Triggers Hell... an even more powerful empire that rules over Hell.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- CM: Yeah... the Fallen's Essence informed me they are planning to revive someone very soon. This someone will be a danger for our plans. Obviously... you'll deal with them.'

Part 3 - Escape of Paris
<p style="text-align:center;">''The escape of Matt and Maria is getting more and more harder as the MPS and their allies from KnightWalker Family are doing their best to prevent their escape with the mysterious CR-Unit Maria is wearing. But a strange blonde KnightWalker Cyborg appears and engage the duo in a brutal combat to retrieve the CR-Unit. Can Matt escape from her charms?'' <p style="text-align:center;">''With the presence of Unit-CM 130 in their side, the three leaders of KA finally came to a decision and voted to end the life of the scientist once and for all. But it appears they are not going to do it immediately but send an assassin to his squad of Zero Numbers to investigate his darkest secrets.''

Act 8
<p style="text-align:center;"> Europe  <p style="text-align:center;"> France  <p style="text-align:center;"> Paris  <p style="text-align:center;"> Center  <p style="text-align:center;"> 23 minutes later 

''After that, how much time has passed. Misogi Kumagawa betrayed the Manufacturing Progressive Sciences and maybe the whole KnightWalker Family that now is being controlled by suck puppets of MPS, controlling the KnightWalker Family's moves, strategies, policies and actions. The MPS is expanding their influence over the KnightWalker Family, breaking apart the KnightWalker Alliance as some members of the alliance are not willing to side-up with scientists rather than generals and politicians.''

''The rising sun has descended and it's about time the surroundings start to fill with light. Maria and Matt who had managed to escape from underground laboratory of MPS thanks to Maria's new CR-Unit EM-CBX001 Hysteria. Maria found this CR-Unit by chance.''

''The EM-CBX001 Hysterica, also known as Ultimate's CR-Unit is a new armor of Combat Realizer Units developed by B1-Killer Kampfdroide Unit-CM 130 and Manufacturing Progressive Sciences. The Hysterica was an unique CR-Unit used with the solo purpose of being effective against Gods or Immortal Beings with the use of Magi-Tech and is the only armor which can use all types of elements from science and magic, being able to control nano-machines, having near-immortality like the Cyborgs from Horsemen of John from KnightWalker Family, mind-reading by telepathy, control over wind and gravity, telekinesis and control over light to heal wounds.''

''Such CR-Unit was powerful enough to destroy a whole country without any military support... the one who wears it basically becomes a living-disaster on the same level of Kanon Rihavein and a step below Heis.''



''Right now, Matt and Maria were hiding themselves in a room inside a building in the outskirts of Paris. As expected, it would be hard to walk if they were to continue sneaking on the streets they would be caught, because there are tens thousands of droids being activated and patrolling the town.''

''Matt looked towards the mobile phone placed on top of the shelf. On the screen, the channel live-broadcasting a massive military operations occurring in the Paris was being shown. The high-angle shooting of around ten thousand of droids walking around in the city was being taken from the helicopter. The commentator was properly spreading theories, and was trying to find out the reason for the riot but, that was of no use. No one could probably imagine this. These tens of thousands of MPS soldiers and droids invading homes, causing random fires around the town were going around searching for Maria and Matt under orders of Unit-CM 130 who received the report from Jessica Bailey and other officers about the invasion to his laboratory.''

''Matt glared at the screen while clenching his teeth. Clearly, the number of droids have increased. It would seems, Unit-CM wasn't satisfied with only a part of his special army and continued gradually increasing the number of vanguards. That only shows how much CM is determinated to take back his ultimate weapon that can hurt demons, gods, devils and any other immortal entity.''



''- Maria: I can't simply fly away with the army on my back. Unless I could teleport and find a way out of the city.''

''- Matt: This is bad. ''

''Matt groaned resentfully, and thrust his harden fist to the floor. ''

''- Maria: Now isn't the time to be doing this. We have to---''

''Maria felt it... she looked behind and felt something flying towards the building. It was dense and powerful... it was a laser beam.''

''- Maria: MATT!! GET DOW---!''

''Maria suddenly grabbed Matt's collar, and began to leap backwards towards the right. ''

''- Matt: Kuk! What are y--?!''

''Matt, whose collar had been suddenly pulled by Maria, began to argue but then he looked at the spot where they were standing before and stopped talking. ''



''The reason was simple. The spot where they were standing earlier was exploded and the whole part of the abandoned building fell like if an earthquake shook the building.''

- Maria: Huh?!

''Next to the crater, they saw a female figure. She was just as tall as Maria. She was... just too similar to Maria but one could say she looked... sad.''

''She was a very beautiful and attractive young woman, being almost doll-like in appearance, with light-blue eyes, a fair complexion, and a slender frame. She has waist-length golden hair with locks that frame her face. She was wearing some kind of battle dress that turned out to be very similar to Maria's standard outfit.''

''- Matt: Maria?! What are y--! No, wait! Eh? Why are you there?! When you're here with me?! The hell?!''

''Maria sharpened her gaze in wrath, angered by the fact that woman almost looked like a clone of her. It was conscidence? A trick of fate? It was too soon to tell the truth. But one thing was certain: that woman was the person who tried to kill them, she was not there standing for nothing.''

- Maria: That's not me!

''Matt stood up and the two duo gazed at the unknown woman with hostility. That woman was Artemishia Valgorion, the 4th Strongest Cyborg of the world behind Eckidina KnightWalker, Imperia Deamonne and Atala Arck. A formidable enemy.''

''- Artemishia: The special forces and the rest failed in the end. Well, that's okay, it's within expectations. I was not really expecting the droid army could find you two. Neverthless, I was not expecting for you to steal our Hysteria CR-Unit. Do you know in what you're touching?''

''Artemishia had a very soft, sad and timid voice. It was like if she was suffering. Struggling. Trying to stand up after losing something important. Her voice was similar to a depressive gothic girl. Her eyes were beautiful but the way how they gazed at the duo caused them to look dead... empty.''

''While narrowing her deep green rust eyes, that girl said that with a quiet tone. Matt gasped. ''

''- Maria: ............. Who are you?'' Maria avoided to speak with the enemy.

''- Artemishia: My name is Artemishia Valgorion, the 4th Horsemen of John from the KnightWalker Family. Currently the chief of state police of Paris. Have you ever heard about that is rude to ignore people? I asked you if you know what you're wearing. It's property of Manufacturing Progressive Sciences and a project our director couldn't finish 20 years ago until his arrival on Earth. He took decades to finish this. Please, give it back.''

''It was rather surprising this woman was not hostile or aggressive. She was relaxed, calm and speaking with two like if they were clients in a store. The way she spoke was like if she was trying to be polite and kind, almost like a psychologist. Even so, the only thing Maria and Matt were thinking is how troubled they are... if she was telling the truth about her being the 4th strongest Cyborg of the world, they are in trouble.''

''- Maria: Matt... On my signal.''

Maybe Matt was too distracted with the girl's beauty and took  him a while to listen to Maria's command.

''- Artemishia: I'll tell you what you're wearing. This is the CR-UNIT EM-CBX001 Hysterica, a CR-Unit that had its projecte--!''

- Maria: NOW!!!

''Maria quickly launched a lance of fire at the Cyborg while Matt followed the lance's direction. Without effort, Artemishia slapped the lance away, creating a fire curtain. When the fire was wiped out, Matt was right in front of Artemishia with his sword ready to pierce her heart, however, much to his despair, Artemishia held his blade and quickly broke it before creating some kind of shield that pushed Matt away back to where Maria was standing.''

''Seeing the two were not being "kind", Artemishia let out a sign and her beautiful skin changed to something metalic. The nano-machines inside of her body began to cover her body and disappeared one by one, revealing her true Cyborg form.''

Suddenly...

''- Artemishia: ........ A CR-Unit that had its projected designed back 24 years ago but due to some problems the director couldn't finish the project until last week where he finally finished the projected by ripping out essence of Spirits like you to kill immortal beings like demons and angels... of course, Gods included...''

''Maria sharpened her gaze... she has a very short temper when it comes to enemies who understimate her.''

- Maria: Are you mocking me?

''Maria charged at Artemishia with her fists charged with fire energy. It was almost like if her hands had became spheres of fire. When she punched Artemishia in her chest, the whole floor of the building shook and exploded in a explosion of impact. Maria kept her fists jammed on Artemishia's chest, only to discover she was just there... standing like if nothing had happened.''

- Maria (think): *This is the durability of a Horsemen of John?*

Artemishia then rose her fist and slapped her on the right side of her face, sending her away from the building and hitting the street below with brutality.

- Matt: MARIA!

''Artemishia continued staring at where the duo were standing before as Matt jumped off of the building and ran to where Maria was lying. She was lying in the middle of a crater, with many civilians looking at the duo with fear and curiosity.''

''Maria grabbed Matt's hand and stood up... the state of the Spirit Guide was not good. It's been a long time since Maria was hurt that badly... Most importantly, she cannot be harmed by human weapons, but Artemishia somehow managed to wound her physical body.''

''- Maria (think): *What in the world was that? This strength was way superior to Carl and FOLIE... The only way to cause real damage on me is to be merged with dark demonic energy or having an energy similar of another Spirit Guide, Angel or demon... That was Magi-Tech? No. It was too pure.*''

''Artemishia jumped off of the building and landed 10 meters away from Maria... just then several patrol of droids arrived and stood behind Artemishia. It seems the chaos brought them to their locations.''

''Matt threw his sword on the midair and grabbed it when it fall in his hands, now powered-up with magic energy. It was a spell to increase strength of his blades, a simple magic attack Yuri Barnes taught him.''



- Matt: Maria... we can't die out here when we have the plans of MPS. Do you think they know by now?

Maria summoned her Magi-tech whip and used her spiritual force to heal her wounds.

''- Maria: I don't think so... But this is bad. ''

The civilians then ran when more droids arrived, of course they are terrified of the vicious droid army of MPS. Any normal soul would fear the special forces of MPS.

''- Artemishia: Where was I? Oh yes... This CR-Unit was made with the purpose of--''

''Before Artemishia could continue, a portal appeared behind Maria and Matt, and a sphere of purple magical energy left from the portal and passed by the two before hitting the ground in front of Artemishia. When it fell on the ground, a purple shield of energy begun to surround Artemishia and her forces... behind them, they saw Yuri Barnes holding another sphere of purple shield.''

- Matt: Yuri!

- Maria: Just in time!

''Yuri let out a cocky smile as he gazed at Artemishia and her army stuck inside of the shield. Artemishia twisted her head and crossed her arms as the droids aimed their weapons at Yuri, but even if they shoot at Yuri, it would be in vain as the barrier would block their bullets.''



''- Artemishia: Yuri Barnes. SS+ Classified Terrorist of the Catholic Rebels and heretic priest from a cult of magic parasites. I thought you were dead.''

''Yuri blinked to Matt and Maria, saying to them to enter in the portal and leave before it's too late. With this mess, there is no doubt more Cyborgs are coming and if that happens, not even Yuri Barnes can escape alive.''

''- Yuri: I see my reputation proceeds me. I've to thanks Michael Langdon for that. I guess breaking and burning military bases of Vatican made me famous, huh, Maria?''

Yuri said that in comic way, causing Maria to look away in disgust and disappearing in the portal alongside Matt.

''- Artemishia: It's too bad the two fugitives escaped but it seems I still can redeem myself by capturing you. ''

''Artemishia prepared her sword to break the shield. Yuri  opened his mouth while glaring back at her with a sight filled with nervousness. ''

''- Yuri: Is it really okay, Artemishia? Your comrades are out of the count... I mean... your droids cannot harm me so it's basically a one-against-one fight. And you're stuck inside of my barrier.''

''- Artemishia: Not need to worry about me. I did not count them in the numbers in the first place anyway. And I can easily destroy this barrier just like I slaughtered your cult before.''

''Sweat could be seen flowing down Yuri's cheeks from Artemishia's words. It seems Artemishia and Yuri share a history together but it was dark enough to make Yuri feel nervous.''

''- Yuri: Unfortunely, I have no intentions to fight you in enemy territory so I'll take my leave. Also, I'm not into hitting girls. ''

''Yuri then turned around and entered the portal in a sarcastic way. Of course he never had intentions to fight despite his provocations. Seeing her enemy leaving, Artemishia returned to her normal human form, putting a pair of gloves on her hands.''

''After returning to her human form, Artemishia slapped the barrier Yuri summoned, destroying it with a single hand, showing how powerful she is and why Yuri felt nervous when he saw her. From the beginning, that barrier was not even a problem for Artemishia.''

''- Artemishia: They escaped... Unit-CM 130 will not be pleased by this. ''

''The droid units behind Artemishia walked away, returning to their normal programming of patrolling like if nothing had happened. The buildings destroyed and hundreds of civilians' corpses on the streets were just left there to rot... True, it was just a normal day in Paris.'' ​​​​

Act 9
<p style="text-align:center;"> South America  <p style="text-align:center;"> Brazil  <p style="text-align:center;"> Rio de Janeiro  <p style="text-align:center;"> Rio Hotel  <p style="text-align:center;"> 20 minutes later 

''The Rogues had arrived in Rio de Janeiro almost 5 hours ago but the preparations for their arrival took a long time from both the Rogues and Ratatoskr. ''

''There were many things to do before they could dispatch the Rogues into Rio, it's not a simple task. Katarina's identity was revealed during the battle of Aldegyr Kingdom when Kanon Rihavein executed La Folia Rihavein in a live broadcast to the entire world. Since that day, Katarina can't simply walk on the streets without a disguise.''

''Katarina may be known in Tenguu City but she is a complete unknown person in other parts of the world, even so her face reveal in international broadcast ended her public life forever. People like Asuha and Imperia can still walk freely in public. On the other hand, people like Katarina who had her identity revealed, Atala Arck who is known as a war criminal of KnightWalker Family and Azul Jissele who is better known as a terrorist after the KnightWalker Funeral Parlor was dissolved for war crimes and terrorism, cannot walk around. ''

''Katarina and Atala were the only ones who needed to have their identities altered... that's what Kotori planned originally. The original plan was to create a false identity to Katarina and Atala only but then she had an idea that would help.''

''She decided to create a false identity to everyone, false historic, false documents, false registers and even false diplomas. Now, the Rogues are basically different people with different nationalities, ages, professions and even languages.''

''Now, the Rogues were entering the Rio Hotel, the most expansive and important hotel for wealthy tourists from Rio. Luckily, Lucas can speak Portuguese for being born in another Brazillian state, which helped the team to communicate. Amazing enough, Imperia can use her Cyborgs' datafiles to learn other languages, another thing that makes Cyborgs way superior to normal humans.''

''- Katarina: This is the first time I step outside of Japan's territories! Another country!''

Katarina and Asuha were standing on the middle of the hall of entrance, a luxurious hall that could only be compared to French manes.

''- Asuha: You have been outside of Japan already, Katarina. Aldegyr Kingdom, China, Taiwan, Germany, Mexico, United States and Korea.''

''It turns out... all these countries Asuha mentioned above were only temporary. During the 3 months that Katarina joined Ratatoskr after the fall of Aldegyr Kingdom, she was sent to multiple countries to accomplish missions of Global Pact Defense such as capturing mafia leader, rescuing kidnapped politicians, arresting tyrants and warlords and even... killing terrorists. ''

''For better or worse, these 3 months of missions is what turned Katarina into Ratatoskr's fourth most powerful warrior behind Imperia and Atala... and of course Azul Jissele who is not present at the moment.''

- Katarina:  I meant to say, it's the first time I go to another country without the need to kill anyone.

Tomas let out a difficult laugh.

''- Tomas: Hehehe... Please don't forget we are in a mission.''

''Tomas looked to the side to see Imperia Deamonne, in her disguise, speaking with a terrified clerk of the hotel... It seems Imperia was doing something to him.''

- Tomas: What she did now?

''Tomas only stared at Imperia, who was standing still like a statue. Considering the scared expression of the clerk, she was doing something to him.''

''- Asuha: Katarina, you were in Amazonas before. You killed.''

Asuha turned her head to the side to see Imperia intimidating the clerk.

- Asuha: Oh boy, here we go agoin.

Meanwhile in the hotel's reception.

- Imperia: ..............

Imperia coldly stared at the clerk with murderous red eyes.

''- Clerk: Excuse me lady but... ''

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

''- Imperia: ................ What is it? Do I need to repeat myself?''

''There was a very bad atmosphere around Imperia and the clerk. Many people passing by, normal clients and staff members stopped to see what was happening, only to feel a sinister aura comin from Imperia. ''

''- Imperia: What do you with "you have too many luggages?" Are you saying this hotel don't have enough space for a few luggages in the rooms?''

''That was the issue here. With so many people of the same "group" arriving at the hotel, they are carrying a ton of luggages that according to the rules of the hotel it's a violation. However, their luggages were far from being simply clothes but also equipaments and high-technological devices that could help in the investigation of Revelation of Qliphoth's sudden disappearance over Rio's territory.''

Imperia was not really angry but she acting like a cold-hearted living statue.

''- Clerk: But... mistress... your luggages are... Well...''

Imperia touched her face with her red glowing eyes staring deep in the soul of the poor clerk.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Imperia You WILL allow us to stay.

The clerk shrunk in fear as the sinister Imperia intimidated him with her vicious aura. - Katarina: I miss the old La Folia...

Act 10
<p style="text-align:center;"> Godom Empire  <p style="text-align:center;"> Center of Military Training  <p style="text-align:center;"> 1 hour later 

''Schemes were planned. A conspiracy has begun. Since the day Unit-CM 130 was brought back to life by the Fallen's Essence using Sonia Nevermind, every affiliated organization of KnightWalker Alliance, countries, terrorist groups, radicial organizations, corporations and mercenaries groups are frustated by him and the MPS.''

''Unlike their allies who discuss business using money and reliable sources that grant them profit, the MPS has nothing. Unit-CM 130 doesn't care about profits or weathly, and instead of using these kind of old elements to negotiate, the director uses violence and blackmailing to get what he wants. Days ago, three leaders of the KA had meeting in Godom Empire's HQ, King Hamdo from NUSSR, Kim Sae-Hak from North Korea and Tathagata Killer from Godom Empire. ''

''It didn't take too long for the three come to a simple conclusion. In the world of violence, there is one single method that helps everyone to get rid of their problems: murder.''

''Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse, especially the unlawful killing of another human with malice aforethought. It uses to be the most vicious sin there is, but when it comes to Unit-CM 130, murder is like a blessing and salvation rather than a sin. Yes, the three agreed Unit-CM 130 should be TERMINATED for good.''

- Crow: I was waiting for you.

''However, speaking is easier than doing. If he was a normal person, a mere civilian, a mediocre human being, it would be an easy task but the thing is Unit-CM 130 is a powerful person. Not powerful in combat but in influence, he has contacts and spies everywhere, so many you could say he has eyes everywhere. Not to mention, he is in Paris being guarded by thousands if not millions of security guards. In cases like this, when their firepower is not enough to destroy a single target that can disappear at any moment when the conspirators open fire, it requires one thing... assassins.''

''- (???): I had many things to do. And it wasn't boys.''

''Not mercenaries. Not spies. Not soldiers. Assassins. Silently like the night and mysterious like shadows. The Godom Empire has a military training center deep in the forests of their country, where they not only train their most hardcore royal bodyguards to protect the emperor but also their most deadly assassins. ''

This facility is controlled by the mysterious man who works for the Emperor, the Unknown Hooded Figure, as many would call him, but now you can call him Crow thanks to his doctor plague's mask.

- Crow: There are things you can't really train, huh.

''Crow is not just the person in charge of this place, he is also the trainer, a master of many skilled assassins. This is the primary fuction of Crow in Godom Empire: the training of amateur soldiers or orphans to transform them in the most skilled and deadly assassins of the world. One could call them ninjas from the Godom's history.''

''And the assassin speaking with Crow right now is Elsa Granhiert, the most deadly and dangerous female assassin of Crow's "academy". Elsa has long black hair tied into one tail on the left side along with eyes that droop, giving her a gentle aura. She wears a black dress and wields bent black swords from the northern lands of Godom. It's sure a busty woman who can cut you in half with effort.''

''- Elsa: So?~ How can my services be useful to you? If sleeping with you will make you forget your late wife...''

''Elsa is this kind of woman... people could say she is a... Thot, or a slut. She is a horny woman who is always teasing and hitting on men, including her master, Crow. Due to her close relationship with Crow, this woman is probably the only person who knows the true past of the mysterious Crow.''

''- Crow: Cut it off. We have important things to do.''

''His tone changed subtly, the corner of Crow's mouth started to twist. By summoning his deadliest assassin, there is just one thing he needs from her.''

''- Crow: It's time to execute the Operation 9. Our superiors and allies agreed we should use brutal force to deal with our... new friends. Kim, the Emperor and Hamdo finally came to the conclusion the director of Manufacturing Progressive Sciences needs to die. Not only the director is an amoral robot who backstab his own allies, claims what we built for years as his own property, ignores our requests, illegally sends his men and droids to take our war prisioners to his laboratories, kidnap politicians from our countries that are members of the party but are against his actions and uses them in human experiments to teach other rebels a lesson and even dares to shut down our military bases to use for his own purposes. I think the arrogant bastard must be being spoiled by the Master.''

''By Master, he means the Fallen's Essence. Crow and Elsa are one of the few people that knows about his existence outside of the KnightWalker Alliance's circle.''

''- Elsa: Wow. Wait? We are seriously going to act against that clanker?''

''- Crow: Oh. We are. The time has come to put an end to the MPS and take back what belongs to us. Due to the nature of this mission, the superiors decided we should use an assassin instead of a direct agent of our agencies. Why you ask? If the Master discovers we planned an assassination to take Unit-CM 130 down for our own purposes, he is going to kill ALL of us. So we need to be quiet and patient.''

Elsa put her hands on her hips.

''- Elsa: So let me guess, you want me to kill the clanker? ''

Crow nodded his head in satisfaction.

''- Crow: Exactly. The Master may know you but he CANNOT identity your work. Killing is your speciality and you know how cover up a murder to make it seems it was another person who did that. We will make Master believe Unit-CM 130 was killed by the Ratatoskr, for example. Use the name of your enemy to our advantage... to complete our revenge. And so we can finally be in peace and continue our activities as we take back what truly belonged to us, the genuine KnightWalker Alliance. ''

Elsa let out a lady-like smile and closed her eyes.

''- Elsa: Ah... That's why you summoned me in your academy... I believe the Master doesn't have eyes here too... except by me and you. Anyhow, what are my instructions? Weapons? ''

Crow opened his arms and pointed to the entrance of the underground floor of his academy that was closed with a giant metal door.

- Crow: We will discuss this inside, I don't wanna anyone leaking information about our encounter.

Part 4 - Dark Past
<p style="text-align:center;">''The Rogues arrive in Rio de Janeiro but Fraxinus is severely damaged and needed to land in the jungles outside of Rio de Janeiro to repair it while fearing the Revelation of Qliphoth must be planning a trap after following their fleet to this Brazilian territory. But at the Rio Hotel, Tomas and Katarina begin to suspect they are being watched in every single corner of the hotel.'' <p style="text-align:center;">''Meanwhile, in Paris, Unit-CM 130 is disappointed with Artemishia for letting Maria and Matt escape... but after some thoughts, the vile scientist planned something even worse to Maria. And so a new future war awaits the Arzonia Family since the Langdon Orphans.''

Act 11
<p style="text-align:center;"> South America  <p style="text-align:center;"> Brazil  <p style="text-align:center;"> Rio de Janeiro  <p style="text-align:center;"> Rio Hotel  <p style="text-align:center;"> Tomas' Suite  <p style="text-align:center;"> 10 minutes later 

- Tomas: They have a lot of good stuff here.

''Tomas had just left from the bathroom of his suite. After a long time arguing with the clerk and intimidating the owner of the hotel, Imperia convinced the staff to allow their stay.''

''Of course, Ratatoskr is not going to let them go on they own without support. Just in case, Kotori left more than 5 million dollars with Imperia, Tomas and Lucas in case they need it. 5 million dollars is absolutely nothing to Ratatoskr, a secret military group that is paid with billions by GPD.''

- Katarina: ...............

''Katarina, who was inside of the room as well. She was standing in the front door with widen eyes and disgust.''

- Katarina: This is so unfair!

Despite the fact that Tomas had barely left the bathroom, he was using clothes so Katarina was not really bothered.

- Tomas: What's wrong?

Tomas asked her as her dried his hair with a towel.

''- Katarina: They put me in 100$ room with no kitchen or living room when you gets to stay here! The inequity! Damn you bourgeosie!''

''Tomas seated in a sofa with a beer in his hands... he sure looks confortable here, much to Katarina's anger who was put in a cheaper room with nothing of what Tomas received. Katarina is suspecting of Imperia trying to troll her somehow.''

''- Tomas: I thought you were used to live in these kind of rooms. Isn't your house in Tenguu City less fancy that this?''

Katarina's playful manner quickly disappeared when Tomas brought out the house that Chinatsu Tathagata, the princess and strongest Cyborg of Godom Empire had destroyed months ago.

''- Katarina: I'll admit something... When I was a kid, my parents were poor. Back then, I was a child so I did not know the world was plunged in an economic crisis caused by the intense civil wars in Europe thanks to the KnightWalkers. As I walked around the streets of Tenguu City, I saw other families with a better lifestyle. ''

Katarina looked down as she pressed her back against the wall.

''- Katarina: They had better clothes, better foods, better properties. They had everything we didn't have. I was envy of them all, so much that when my parents died I lost my social control and destroyed those houses like any vandal. When I was in school, those... "popular wealthy girls" mocked me for being born in a family of rats. They looked down on me everyday.''

Tomas noticed he brought a sensitive matter.

''- Tomas: What... did you do them?''

''- Katarina: When my parents died, I was not always a violent vandal. I started by destroying homes I always desired to have but I couldn't; if I didn't can have that then nobody should have. But when my identity was exposed to the school, I was literally considered a thief by everyone but I couldn't blame them, they were right... but what I hated was the fact some dared to use my family's name to offend me. I couldn't let that pass... so I broke the teeth of everyone who laughed at me. That's when I was expelled from my first high-school and I became a complete delinquent... searching gangsters so I could find an excuse to let my anger go.''

Tomas stood up and looked away.

- Tomas: Sorry for bringing this up.

''Katarina shook her head and she prepared to leave the room. Outside of the room, a person was hidding behind the pillars but Tomas and neither Katarina noticed them.''

''- Katarina: No problem... I... Ahh... I just don't feel good right now. Sometimes I feel everytime I remember of my past my head begins to fly. It's like something is messing with my head... I'm starting to feel Elesis is messing up with me.''

''There is one thing that is certain in this, Elesis was NEVER Katarina's friend. Never. Never. If Elesis is trying to play friendly with Katarina that means she only taking opportunity of her naiveness to take over her body when the time is right. If Elesis is borrowing part of her power to Katarina that means she only don't want to get killed so she needs Katarina to live.''

''- Tomas: Elesis is not reliable, Katarina. Try to avoid contacting her at all costs.''

''Katarina left the room, and at the same time she left the man hiding behind the pillars walked away in the shadows. While Katarina couldn't see him, Tomas saw his shadow and a smile appeared in his face... that means only one thing; someone was watching them, spying their moves and even conversations. And Tomas... who was beginning to lose himself was looking at the darkness with demonic eyes.''

''- Katarina: You're right... I'll try... And here I thought we could have been friends. I even asked her to be my friend if she helped me to escape alive from Aldegyr Kingdom even after everything she did to me. If you don't hit on me again that will help too... Tomas?''

''Tomas' demonic expression vanished when he heard Katarina's voice, breaking out of his thoughts. Yes... the Blackness was consuming him and there was nothing he could do to stop it.''

''- Tomas: Ah-Ah... don't worry... I'll not stop hitting on you. Elesis' psychological problem will not interfere in my interest on you.''

''Tomas said that in a playful manner like if he was  trying to upset Katarina... obviously, Katarina is a playful girl as well but jokes like this makes her feel awkward, mainly when she doesn't understand the concept of true love. Even her crush on Rentaro Satomi might be only passion.''

- Katarina: You did not give up?

- Tomas: Why should I give up on you?

Katarina let out a sigh and closed her eyes in shame.

''- Katarina: I'm not even that attractive and we are nothing but... friends? Partners? Family? The thing is... I don't think I'm ready for these kind of things Tomas, I... I just don't feel certain about my feelings. How can I suppose to love someone when I don't even know how to love myself. I only know how to love people by family and friendly methods but not something like an amorous love. ''

''Tomas nodded as he touch his head, feeling headache. Like Katarina, Tomas' suffering from a similar problem, the Blackness that Vira unleashed upon Tomas was destroying him from inside. By now, some of his veins are completely black like if ink was flowing in his body but he kept them hidden until now.''

''- Tomas: I don't mind waiting though. Because... love is ALWAYS on the air.''

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

Katarina's eyes closed like if she was not amused.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Katarina: For Devil's sake cut it off!

<p style="text-align:center;">' Meanwhile...  <p style="text-align:center;"> Fraxinus ' <p style="text-align:center;"> Floresta da Tijuca 

Fraxinus was heavily damaged due to the previous battle but it's well hidden deep in the forest of Tijuca, better known in Portuguese as Floresta da Tijuca.

''Tijuca Forest is part of Tijuca National Park. With 3,972 hectares, it is one of the largest urban green areas in the world. Much of its vegetation is reforested in place of coffee farms and was made in the time of the Brazil Empire.''

''Ratatoskr knows Tijuca is very next to the city and they might be caught in the sight of someone. Even so, what will happen then? They live in 2036, seeing spaceships on the skies should be normal by know. Kotori knows perfectly that the only consequence of landing near to civilization was the word from the promoters of Global Pact Defense.''



''Fraxinus landed over tons of trees, hiding their presence in the woods. Fraxinus was ship so big that their interior levels are filled with pipes and machinery. There were so many machinery, metal and giant motors that it could be easily mistaken as a town made of metal. Of course such place needs to be watched over by 300 officers and engineers.''

''The engineers of Fraxinus are extremely skilled enginners that studied in GPD academy in United States. No normal engineer specialized in technology could work in this place since all the engine of Fraxinus is not even from Earth. Fraxinus' engine, drive, or thruster, was a machine specially designed to propel the ship through the gravity of the planet, navigate the vacuum of space or launch the spaceship into the speed of sound.''

- Kotori: How long until the engine is ready to go?

''Kotori was standing in a platform, looking over the massive engine of Fraxinus below with hundreds of enginners working on it. Outside of the ship, more hundreds could be heard working to fix external damages.''

''A woman looking as tired as hell, opening her eyes that had thick dark circles, turned her vision to Kotori who was beside her. It was Reine Murasame, Fraxinus' Analysis Officer whom Kotori fully places her trust in.''

- Reine: In 42 hours, counting with the support of enginner droids and Maria AI helping to locate bugs in the digital system of Fraxinus.

''- Kotori: 42 hours... huh? This is too long, Reine. As we are speaking that... Vira Hermes is out there, planning something. Not until now Ratatoskr faced a new type of enemy, Black Demons. I thought the Witch Cult had they under control for a thousand years but it seems their presence got stronger in this decade. This is a problem, Reine. Ratatoskr was made to combat the Fallen's Essence but the appearance of a stronger enemy is imminent. Not to mention, the Rogues are out there, without our protection.''

As much the Rogues hate to admit, Ratatoksr has a fundamental function to assist them in their missions, often even protecting them from ambushes as they can watch any moviment around the group from above, inform location of enemies, send orbital strikes to heavy vehicles and many more functions.



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

''Reine put the papers she was holding down and gazed at Kotori, noticing she was trembling. In regards to Kotori's words, Reine held her breath.''

''- Reine: You're still having PTST from your previous experience? ''

''Kotori has a very complicated past with Unit-CM 130. This has been stated before that CM is the reason why she has the body of a child and is the responsible for making what she is today.''

''- Kotori: More or less... I don't know anymore. I... I just feel scared when I let my subordinates alone on their own. That's why I refused to let them go Morte when Lucas proposed to invade the base.''

''- Reine: I know how you fee--No. I'll not say lies about your past. I don't know how you feel because I didn't experience such tragedy in my life, but I feel you should relax. The Rogues were not like your friends of the past.''

Kotori calmly continued looking at the engines.

Part 5 - Love at First Sight
<p style="text-align:center;">''Maria and Matt escaped from Artemishia's grasp thanks to Yuri... but Artemishia at least won Matt's heart... much to Maria's dismay who refuses to accept Matt fell in love with an enemy. Love is hard to deal with but a young Red Haired Demon accidentally entering in the male public bathroom is harder to deal with as Katarina once again shows how dum-dum she is.'' <p style="text-align:center;">''Even so... these small little moments of peace and relaxation did not last for too long as the police of Rio, under the manipulation of the false commissioner of Police Asmodeus and the corrupt Minister of Public Security of Brazil Felix Drake, raid the hotel with the powerful media on their side.''

Act 15
<p style="text-align:center;"> Europe  <p style="text-align:center;"> Spain  <p style="text-align:center;"> Madrid  <p style="text-align:center;"> Arzonia Family's Headquarters  <p style="text-align:center;"> 06:23 AM  <p style="text-align:center;"> 9 minutes later 

''- Yuri: It was a long trip. Are you okay?''

''Yuri asked as stepped out of the portal, only to see Maria and Matt seated on the floor like if they just finished a maraton. Indeed, there is one thing that many people get wrong: unlike other typical portals that literally create a hole in space and time, Yuri's portals are different.''

''The magical skills of Yuri are more advanced, that's a fact but his portals simply create a "shortcut" in space, reducing the distance between locations instead of immediatelly teleporting people to another location. Why that happens? While it's true that Instant-Portals are faster and more practical, they can be easily tracked down by other enemy mages and find the location of the person who used the portal to escape. ''

To prevent his enemies from locating the base of Arzonia in Spain, Yuri Barnes used this kind of portal.

''- Maria: Well... I guess... Thanks, Yuri. You arrived in the right time.''

As Maria  said this, she narrowed her eyes at the sight of Yuri carrying his book.

''- Matt: Who in the world was that? It's impossible that girl was a Cyborg!''

Yuri Barnes let out a sigh and waited for the two to recover their breath before he could explain what truly happened back there.

''- Yuri: I see you two got in trouble. So that means the message we received was a trap.''

''Maria shook her head soon after she stood up and returned to her composed natural behavior. Seeing a Spirit Guide in such state was a very strange sight to almost everyone who knows Maria. Actually, it was strange even for herself because technology and other man-made weapons are not effective against a race like the Spirit Guides that are astral beings that can only be harmed by magic.''

''- Maria: Not really, it was not a trap. It was a genuine important secret meeting. But... I admit it was ME who ruined the mission. In a sense.''

Like any girl trying to avoid the guilty of nailing the mission, Maria tried to make an innocent face but Matt was not convinced.

- Matt: Yuri, it turns out the person who sent that message was none other than Misogi Kumagawa, that scumbag who is almost like Eckidina KnightWalker's boyfriend.

''- Yuri: Misogi? As far as I know, the family that Misogi came from is affiliated to the KnightWalkers for centuries, and they are literally born to serve them. It's strange that Eckidina's right-hand called for you two... and it wasn't a trap. What happened there?''

Yuri put his hand in his chin as he saw Matt recovering his breath and standing up like a normal person.

''- Maria: It turns out... Misogi is desperated.''

Yuri gasped a little but not enough to be noticed by the two.

- Yuri: Desperated?

''- Maria: It's the Manufacturing Progressive Sciences again. They are slowly taking over the KnightWalker Family and are destroying everything Eckidina worked so hard to built in the organization. Like any dog, Misogi is not pleased and backstabbed the MPS by giving us their master plan.''

''Matt clenched his fists. As much he was pleased that Misogi was trying to defeat an even more vile organization than the KnightWalker Family, he can't simply forget how that man helped Eckidina KnightWalker to rise hell on Earth just so he could please his crush.''

- Matt: I should have killed him right there.

''Maria looked at Matt with the same expression... Misogi was involved in the Cyborg project that transformed Maria into a Cyborg when she was a human. There is no way she can forgive the people who caused her to feel such pain. Not Michael, not Eckidina, not Misogi and not even the scientists who did it to her.''

''- Maria: Me too, Matt. Me too. However, there are things much worse we should save our fury to. The MPS, it's more than clear our true enemy in this war was always the MPS and whoever is commanding that dirty group. Remember Akrak Couteau? She was merely a small piece in an even larger machine. To think there are many others like her makes me feel awkward.''

Yuri sharpened his eyes.

- Yuri: And you two somehow got the attention of 4th Strongest Cyborg of the World.

''- Maria: Oh yes, that girl. After Misogi gave us the copy of MPS' true plans, I confess I messed up and called the attention of the entire Paris to the laboratory I destroyed just because of my curiousity. She found us and almost killed us two without effort, not even a single moment in my life I felt so much damage in a single attack. Who the hell was that girl?''

''Yuri shared a history with that girl, and the fact she looks pretty much like Maria is a mystery to both Maria and Matt... but not to Yuri Barnes, who seems to be hiding many things about unknown topics. Not Yuri kept the existence of the Blackness as a secret of Arzonia Family but also knows many things about the people around him he doesn't want to tell for greater reasons.''

''- Yuri: That girl was Artemishia Valgorion, the 4th Strongest Cyborg of the World serving under Eckidina KnightWalker's Horsemen of John, a legion of KnightWalker Cyborgs created to carry important and vital missions of Eckidina's interests. They are basically her special forces, the equivalent to Merryweather of KnightWalker Family's private army. That girl may look young but she old than you two together. It was bad luck that you two encountered her, because she is one of the few people in this world I want to avoid at all costs.''

Matt looked down and blushed for an instance, a move that Maria quickly noticed.

''- Matt: S-She was kinda cute. I suppose.''

''Not so cute until she transformed and became a giant heartless metalic knight. Like if Yuri was trying to break the ice, he nodded in a sarcastic way.''

''- Yuri: Well, as much I don't like her I find her to be quite attractive. It was like if she was an even better version of Maria.''

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

''Yuri knows how to tease Maria and everyone around him without putting much effort in his mind. ''

''- Maria: Oh! You're right, Yuri Barnes! There is no way an ugly hag like me could match the beauty of an emotionless Cyborg! You're totally right! And you, Matt, we will talk about it later, OKAY?!''

''Like if she was doing her best to not explode for once, Maria decided to join in Yuri's little game so he may don't get the pleasure of seeing her mad again. Even so, Matt could feel her death words when she mentioned his name.''

- Matt: Oh no...

''- Yuri: Boring... Anyway, Maria. Did you get the plans? What are we even supposed to do with it? It's not like our organization has enough resources to deal with that giant organization.''

''Maria stopped smilling and gave Yuri a small pen-drive that was carrying the MPS' plans that Misogi wanted to show the Catholic Rebels since Ratatoskr was nowhere to be found. There is one thing that Maria don't know: the KnightWalker Family has spies everywhere, even inside of the Catholic Rebels so it's not a surprise he knew where her base was located.''

- Yuri: This is...

''- Maria: Yuri, I'll say this in advance: we need to find Kotori again and contact Ratatoskr. What you will see here is beyond everything we imagined to be possible.''

''Maria and Matt gazed at each other with seriouness... True, what was inside of the pen-drive was beyong anyone could ever imagine. Unit-CM 130's true plans with the Black Gas, with the Zoyineain-Black Demons... everything was out of this world... And no one was prepared for it.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> South America  <p style="text-align:center;"> Brazil  <p style="text-align:center;"> Rio de Janeiro  <p style="text-align:center;"> Rio Hotel  <p style="text-align:center;"> 11:05 AM  <p style="text-align:center;"> 4 hours later (Rio's regional time) 

''- Jellal: Lucas? You good?''

Inside of the public washroom of the Rio Hotel, a huge washroom for men only, Jellal was seated in a plastic bench looking at himself in the mirror while Lucas was seated beside him, looking down like if he was plunged in his own thoughts.

''Jellal was ordered to stay in the ship to protect it since if the Revelation of Qliphoth attacks the military force of Ratatoskr will be not enough to protect it. However, Kyouhei Kannazuki offered himself to protect the ship alone, dispatching Jellal to Rio to support the investigation of Revelation of Qliphoth's whereabouts.''

''- Lucas: Yes. I'm just... worried about Tomas. Ever since we left Morte something is strange is happening to him.''



''- Jellal: I'm not that close with Tomas so I don't what is happening. But he is a my friend. What is happening to him?''

Lucas was silent for a while while the water of the shower fell over his black hair.

''- Lucas: Rindou said that... Vira did something to him. Something is happening to him. Soon after the battle of Morte, he received medical attention in Fraxinus. Rindou showed me that she found something inside of his brain, and it's not a natural material.''

Jellal widened his eyes, doing his best to keep his voice down.

''- Jellal: There is something inside of his brain? How do you came to the conclusion it was that woman... Vira?''

Jellal could not help himself but remember that scene that Katarina was shocked and called Vira to be Eugen Katsuragi, the late foster sister of her.

''- Lucas: Rindou said that material contained magic power similar to those Black Demons we fought in Morte. It's the same kind of energy and she also warned me to keep an eye on him because his brain activity is messed up. Since we left Morte he has been suffering from illusions so horrible that he cries like a baby. Not only that, she fears Tomas is losing his sanity quickly. Even if I keep my eye close on him, I don't know what to do because we know NOTHING of what is happening to Tomas.''

''What Lucas is feeling right now is despair. He knows his friend have some kind of parasite inside of him and there is nothing he can do. One could say Tomas and Lucas have a bromance.''

- Jellal: ..........

Jellal looked down, thinking in what to say next.

''- Jellal: Lucas... how exactly you met Tomas?''

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

''As everyone begun to leave the washroom, leaving Lucas and Jellal alone, a dark silence took over the washroom's insides. Only echoes of water drops could be heard as Lucas turned off the shower.''

''- Lucas: It's a long story. But I can tell you a part of it, or at least, the most important part. You see, I didn't met Tomas in VSA when I finished my training with my master [Tao Pai Pai] in Brazil, I travelled to Godom Empire where I worked for them for quite a while.''

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

''Jellal widened his eyes in shock. That was the first time he heard about Lucas' past, and the very first information he heard was that Lucas was once working to the fascist Godom Empire, one of the most aggressive dictatorships of the world.''

''- Jellal: ........... Lucas.''

''- Lucas: I'll tell a little story. That was the first time I met Tomas. It was during my mission to assassinate a ambassador of Taiwan under the orders of the Emperor Tathagata Killer himself.''

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

''A dark piece of Lucas' story was about to be revealed by himself. And Jellal, will be now one of the few people who knows about his past as an assassin of Godom Empire.''

Lucas' Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Asia <p style="text-align:center;"> Taiwan <p style="text-align:center;"> Taipei <p style="text-align:center;"> August 2, 2030 <p style="text-align:center;"> 07:34 PM

''Asia is a big continent. So big that it hides many Western criminals and terrorists in Asia's vast towns that has the population between billions. ''

''The place in focus now is Taipei. the capital of Taiwan that has its borders connected to China. Located in the northern part of the Island of Taiwan, Taipei City is an enclave of the municipality of New Taipei City that sits about 25 km (16 mi) southwest of the northern port city Keelung. Most of the city is located in the Taipei Basin, an ancient lakebed. The basin is bounded by the relatively narrow valleys of the Keelung and Xindian rivers, which join to form the Tamsui River along the city's western border.''

''In such place, it's the perfect place to hide not only criminals, but foreigners politicians that escaped from their own countries to hide themselves. But why politicians would flee from the countries they swore to serve? Things are not so simple. Not when you're politician in a dictatorship and you're being chased by the totalitarian government in control of the nation. Recently, Godom Empire, one of the deadliest dictatorships of the world, has been suffering with the threat of dozens of politician rising for power in different states of their country, forming alliances with military generals and threatning to take over the capital.''

''However, Godom Empire is not a "victim", much less a "righteous" country that is about to be dominated by a group of politicians. No. The country has been under control of Tathagata family for generations and they abuse of their powers to oppress the people in all ways. With that said, it's not hard to understand why politicians are trying to rebel and start a civil war to end this tyranny.''

''To do end this, the Emperor himself prepared a group of special assassins, expert killers to put an to their miserable lives. However, it turns out he needed only ONE assassin for this task. This assasin, in white armored futuristic suit, killed every single politician who dared to rebel against the Emperor, with a single slice. ''

That man was...

''- (???): Are you sure our target is in this district right now? You better don't make me waste my time here.''

''There were two people on the top a skycraper, looking down at the lighty and movimented town of Taipei. Sirens, car horns and a cold and strong breeze was all that could be heard from up there. In the top of that building, a man in armored suit and a young pale woman holding book could be seen.''

That woman was, judging by her looks, the princess of Godom Empire itself, as well as the daughter of the Emperor Tathagata Killer who is fated to assume the throne of the empire for herself one day; Chinatsu Tathagata.

''- Chinatsu: My Magi-Tech combined with my Cybertinic woman instincts are ALWAYS right, Lucas. I may be your girlfriend but you better watch out your mouth. ''

''That assassin was Lucas Kellan. Soon after Lucas' master, Tao Pai, left him, he joined the Godom Empire because all he could do was fight. So he joined the Emperor's elite assassin squad was a veteran. On the process, he engaged in a romantic relationship with the daughter of the emperor, something that could very well end his life if discovered.''

''- Lucas: Hum. Right.''

''Lucas put his hand in his armored pocket and removed a hologram that showed all informations of his target. It was a very old politician man that looked like a human rat.''

''- Lucas: For a moment I thought this thing was some kind of nazi experiment. Pathetic old man.''

''Back then, Lucas was a foul-mouthed man who barely knew limits. And calling someone the results of a nazi experiment is just the the tip of the iceberg. Sometimes, Chinatsu is forced to shut him up before he calls the emperor himself a piece of shit or rest of abortion.''

- Chinatsu: You sense of humor still the same even after the emperor himself almost ordered you to be tortured.

''- Lucas: Well, this is how the world works for me. Besides...''

''Lucas looked down, with his eagle's sight, he found the politician that was considered his target walking down a desert parking lot behind a building. He was walking towards his car with caution. It seemed the politician knew he was being chased for some days but Lucas and Chinatsu didn't show up until now. ''

Even so, this politician was one of the survivors who escaped from Godom Empire after the emperor sent assassins to take care of them.

- Lucas: ...I think we found our target.

- Chinatsu: Humpf.

''Lucas then jumped from the building like if he was in free fall. Like a powerful and legendary dragon, Lucas landed on the floor with brutality, crushing the ground around him at the time his feet touched the floor. He immediately rose up and prepared his katana to cut the politician in half.''

''- Politician: No! No! No! NOO!! WHY ARE YOU HERE! GODOM!''

''The politician immediately gasped and begun to feel cold and sweat. He knew his life had came to an end at the moment he saw the white armored assassin of Godom Empire, the Dragon of Death.''

''- Lucas: A single slice. A single scream. It will result in a silence death for you. ''

''Lucas removed his katana from his back and immediately charged at the politician. He was so fast that the sound of the sound barrier could be heard breaking. However...''

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

''Lucas' sword was blocked by another katana that almost similar as his. He looked down to see a dark-haired man standing in front of the despaired politician with a death glare.''

''- Lucas (think): *This guy blocked my full-charged attack?! Impossible!*''

''Lucas who was still in midair, forced his body to go backwards and landed as far away as possible of the unknown man. The mysterious man was indeed, no doubt, Tomas Sev, who was still an unknown person to Lucas back then.''



''- Tomas: This is how Godom greet their comnrades? What a bad taste.''

''Tomas, like if he was amused, lowered his sword with a calm smile. Meanwhile, Chinatsu was watching everything from the building and was shocked when she saw someone blocking an attack of Lucas that represented certain death to any living being in this world.''

''- Chinatsu: Lucas was overpowered? Who in the world is that man?!''

''Chinatsu widened her eyes, just as Lucas did below. Lucas gazed his sight when he saw another two people approaching him. They seemed to be two girls. One was a volumous blonde woman and the second was a pink haired girl that was dressed like some kind of nordic god.''

''- (???): Tomas! Ar--Oh. It's just another Godom assassin.''

''The pink haired girl approached Tomas and grabbed the hand of the politician, leading him away. For some reason, the pink-haired girl was not taking Lucas seriously. Tomas seemed to have the same reaction toward the former.''

''- Tomas: Temido, can you please take the rat to the underground shelter? Keep him there until I finish this guy off.''

''- Politician: R-RAT! HEY! DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO?! I HIRED YOU PROTECT ME! DO YOUR JO--''

''Tomas looked back at the girl whose real name is Temido. For some reason, that person didn't seem to be a woman at for some reason. They just didn't. ''

''- Lucas: What a bunch of pathetic ants we have here. You came here to be devoured by the dragon too?''

''The blonde woman, who was around the age of Tomas, gazed at Lucas with a death glare so powerful he felt she was trying to stab his very soul. That woman was no one less than Cassie Cage, Tomas Sev's ex-girlfriend who is nothing more than a friend in the future.''

''- Tomas: Cassie. Can you please don't kill this guy? ''

Tomas changed his sight to Cassie, who was boiling with anger and murderous intentions.

''- Cassie: Shut the hell up! Tomas! You know we shouldn't leave these bastards from Godom alive! We have killed 15 assassins of Godom by now, another one will be nothing to loss our sleep abo--!''

- Lucas (think): *You're full of openings!*

Lucas saw an opportunity and tried to use the same attack on Tomas, Temido, Cassie and the politician while they were distracted with their own fight.

- Lucas: THIS IS THE EN--!

''Lucas, after breaking the barrier of the sound again, passed through his victims, thinking his sword cut the four people in half. Confident he had killed them, Lucas rose his head and prepared to look back to his the corpses of his victims but instead he was the only one who was cut. The four were unharmed and alive.''

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ​​



''Lucas looked at Tomas and saw blood in his katana. At that moment, he felt a pain in his stomach... yes, Tomas easily broke Lucas' speed of sound and sliced his body with his sword. It was something so easy that Tomas didn't even bother to look back at Lucas, who was standing behind the group.''

''- Tomas: I tried to give you a chance. If you want to be like it. So be it. Assassin.''

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

Lucas widened his eyes in fear and despair.

Nowadays
''After Lucas finished his story, the image of Temido appeared in his head. A man who had the appearance and behavior of a little girl--No, the name "Temido" (Dreadful in Portuguese) was not even fit to this person for being so childish, cheerful and happy.''

''- Lucas: And this is pretty much how I met him. Not only Tomas but also Cassie, Wataru and Temido. If you ask, I don't where Temido is right now but he is... gone. Since we joined the VSA and stopped using our powers because of the destruction we caused in name of revenge and our masters, Temido disappeared on the world. I always wonder if he is alive. When the WWIII started, we lost contacts with many friends so I fear the worst.''

Jellal stood up and looked down before changing his sight to Lucas, who was staring at the wall with a small forced smile.

''- Jellal: I know he is okay. And so Tomas will be. He is tough and will leave out of this hell.''

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

''Lucas stood up and turned his back on Jellal as he begun to leave the washroom. But then, just as he was about to leave, he turned his back around with a smile.''

''- Lucas: I know. He always will. He is my buddy after all. We just met recently... like two years ago but we became so close to the point one could say we are siblings. We trained with each other, we know our weaknesses, our strong points, our hobbies, our likings. Everything. I guess that's what you call bromance?''

Jellal giggled in happiness.

- Jellal: I guess so.

Act 16
<p style="text-align:center;">' Meanwhile...  <p style="text-align:center;"> Asuha's Suite '

''Asuha is not a child, but she sleeps earlier than most people. While the Rogues were having fun, drinking, playing or taking bath outside, Asuha was about to sleep in her suite.''

''Asuha was seated in her bed, watching a video in her cellphone. The light of her cellphone was the only thing illuminating the dark room. However, it was not a simple video that an average teenager would watch like funny videos, porn, memes or even random fictional series. It was a video of her family.''

''- Video Voice 1: [Asuha! Don't touch that!]''

- Video Voice 2: [Leave her be, mommy!]



''Asuha is a lonely person, this is seem in her anti-social behavior. Asuha spent most of her life alone after her mother died, her father was working overseas and her brother was studying in Global Pact Defense Academy in United States.''

''- Asuha: ........................... Hard to think this was part of my life.''

''Asuha was born in Japan and lived in Nagazora until she moved to Tenguu City 7 years later. Her mother died some time after her birth so she never got see her face except in photos and videos. In the video she was watching in her cellphone, Asuha was a small baby messing around the living room of her old home while her brother was playing video-games, her father was writing a blog and her mother was recording her throwing some newspapers on the floor.''

''Asuha had watched this many times before, more time she could count because this is one of the few videos she got to see her mother playing with her. ''

''Asuha then stopped the video and turned it off. She removed her clothes and wore her pijamas while the peaceful sound of the town's car and helicopters could eb heard outside.''

''- Asuha (think): [We have to investigate the whereabouts of Qliphoth tomorrow... Even so, I feel strange. The sensors detected the Revelation of Qliphoth's fleet landed in some part of Rio and disappeared. But if they showed up in Rio, the people would have seen them somewhere. Unless they can not be visible to human eyes. There is no doubt they disappeared in Rio... but why they would come here?]''

''Asuha was dragged out of her thought when she heard sirens outside of the hotel. In 5 second, it was only one siren but after 15 seconds, more sirens could be heard. In a matter of seconds, more dozens of sirens could be heard. But they didn't go away, they all stopped right in front of the hotel. ''

''By the time she walked towards the window, the lights were reflecting on the white walls of the suite with red and blue. These colors belonged to the police cars parked outside of the hotel. It was only 3 or 5 cars, it were among 25 police cars.''

- Asuha: What is happening?



''Asuha looked at outside but her vision was blured by a helicopter that flew right next to the window with a highlight. At the time Asuha looked down, the place was filled with trucks, police cars, News vans and special forces vehicles.''

As if it was not enough, there were probably 5 helicopters and 4 space ships of the police flying around the hotel.

- Asuha: What in the world is happening here?!

Asuha yelled as she looked down with despair and confusion.

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

Asuha was not the only to notice the mess outside.By this point, almost everyone knew what was happening as the hotel was evacuated in less than 2 minutes, that only shows how serious and confusing things are getting.

''Outside, countless reporters could be seen interviewing police officers and investigators. In a minute, the hotel was in the highlights and the entire planet had its eyes turned in Rio Hotel.''

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

''- Tomas: So it's happening. ''

''Tomas was seated, writing his report of the day in a iPad. There was nothing important to write down but an organized man like Tomas will never leave something pass without notice.''

''Tomas seemed to be very calm, like if he was expecting this. Like if... he was not surprised at all. So it seems the police surrounded the hotel and something big is happening outside but Tomas is not worried...''

''- Tomas: I thought it would take longer but that not seems to be the case. Kotori was dumb enough to send us to a trap... the Revelation of Qliphoth is trying to turn the world on us.''

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



''Tomas stood up, in silence and coldness. He stood up so calmly and slow that one could wonder if he was possessed by something. He turned his head and walked towards the window with a soft smile and cold eyes.''

- Tomas: But at least I knew it would be fun...

''A strange black aura surrounded Tomas as his eyes begun to glow in a pink light like if he was becoming something else. Pink eyes... these eyes does not belong to any known Magi-Tech Magician, Meta-Human or Cyborg. Something was inside of Tomas...''

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Tomas: Now... let's start our war.'

Act 17
<p style="text-align:center;"> Rio de Janeiro  <p style="text-align:center;"> Floresta da Tijuca  <p style="text-align:center;"> Fraxinus' Work Camp  <p style="text-align:center;"> 2 minutes later 

''Fraxinus is a huge ship, and not just "big". If one were to compare, Fraxinus had half of the size of Mount Everest. With a ship with this size, it requires the labor of thousand men and women and expert enginners.''

''Outside of Fraxinus: tanks, cars, trucks of energy, armored vehicles of security, squads of guards, huge transports of pipes, mobile satellites, long pipes of fuel, supplies, etc. Outside of Fraxinus, more than 830 people could be seen working. The area Fraxinus had landed was dense enough to cover the crew from the public eyes.''

''- Kotori: So the plasma-fueled generator core is destroyed. How did that happen?''

''Inside of a command truck, Kotori was speaking with two people in front of her. One of them was Sanada and another one was the chief and overseer of the mechanical sector responsible for working on Fraxinus' damages in its overall design.''

''- Sanada: Yes, we need to remove the current core and replace it. If we continue to overuse it, it will definitely explode at any moment. A chain reaction will cause every lower deck of the ship to explode like an atom bomb. ''

The chief listened to Sanada, who was talking to Kotori and crossed his arms.

''- Chief: The lady is right, commander. If we can fix the damage outside but... the plasma core will be difficult. First: during the battle against the Manufacturing Progressive Sciences, the enemy missiles struck the ship from below, damaging the generator. Second: we don't have tools and the required parts to fix the generator. ''

''Kotori was seated in a chair behind an iron table, with a single laptop in front of her. She then lowered her head and sighed in exhaustion. That day was being annoying, problems and more problems. One after another. And they just kept coming. Kotori was not careless when she dispatched the Rogues to Rio because she was lazy or put confidence in their capacity, she simply couldn't watch over them because she had to deal with the problems inside of Fraxinus first.''

''- Kotori: This is the best we can accomplish alone? I'll have to request for the help of those old farts of Global Pact Defense now?''​​​​​​

''Kotori then moved her hand to the laptop's sensor and clicked on it, looking over the news reports of the town to know if there is something odd happening in the city. And much to her surprise, something was happening.''

''- Sanada: Jokes aside. I think you need to throw away your pride for once and ask the help of the GPD.''

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

''No response came from Kotori. Instead, she was shocked, pale and sweaty with something she saw in the laptop's screen. Sanada and the chief immediately noticed that and looked at each other in confusion.''

''- Chief: There is something wrong? Commander?''

''In the laptop, Kotori was watching an emergency news from a TV channel called BST. In the laptop, the voice of a female reporter speaking in Brazilian portuguese, however, none of them could understand what she was saying. Even so, one don't need to understand the language to know what is happening... especially when Kotori can see the faces of two familiar figures. ''

- Kotori: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

''Kotori screamed in panic when she recognized those faces. Right now, the BST channel is broadcasting a policial operation in the Hotel Rio, the same hotel where the Rogues are hosted. The thing is... the police and media are reporting Katarina and Tomas Sev as "terrorists", showing their faces in public.''

''One interesting fact is that Katarina was once shown in worldwide broadcast in Aldegyr Kingdom, so her face is known by the public. But in this photo, she has the face of her current disguise.''

''Sanada and the chief approached Kotori in worry and only then could see what was happening. They changed their sight to the laptop and saw a live broadcasting outside of Hotel Rio. There, the hotel could be seen surrounded by police cars, policial trucks, government's ships and reporters. Indeed, the Hotel Rio was surrounded by the police and all staff of the hotel was being evacuated.''

''Even now, no one knows what is happening but according to the reporter, at least 8 terrorists entered in the hotel and made 20 staff members hostages. And these terrorists are the Rogues but obviously this information is false... The Rogues were just about to sleep when the police arrived and the staff of the hotel was evacuated.''

''It seems something big is happening. Someone is controlling the government behind the scenes and convinced the governor to launch a powerful policial operation in Hotel Rio. They could be a single person or even a whole group of twisted individuals.''

''- Sanada: I don't know what is happening but it seems our spies were discovered. And so soon...''

''Sanada closed her eyes in disappointment. She was expecting the Rogues to NOT be uncovered so soon since many of them are known by the public as "war criminals" or "terrorists" due to their past in many other battlefields. But now, things had changed.''

- Kotori: .............

Kotori fainted with white empty eyes.

''- Sanada: We must hurry with the generator core, chief. Use everything we have in the ship and all free personnel.''

Part 6 - Police Assault (Final)


<p style="text-align:center;">''Vira's plan was a success and the heroes found themselves in a desperate situation. With no support coming from Fraxinus, Vira and Asmodeus managed to leave the Rogues with no routes to escape and turn the state against them, declaring the world an enemy to the Rogues after being classified as terrorists. As the BOPE continues to invade the Rio Hotel, Tomas' Blackness begins to consume him, terrifying his friends.'' <p style="text-align:center;">''While the assault to Rio Hotel is being broadcast worldwide, the Fallen's Essence and Astaroth finally meet for the first time and declare their war against each other. But... who is going to win this war? The Revelation of Qliphoth? Or this mysterious illuminati being controlled by the Fallen's Essence? The cards are on the the table. And the world is at stake.''

Act 17
<p style="text-align:center;"> In front of Rio Hotel  <p style="text-align:center;"> Police's Central of Command 

''The police of Rio is fast to act. Decades of crimes and brutal violence with the increase of criminal activity in Rio transformed the police of Rio into one of the most deadly and and well-equipped police forces of the world, even more so than the KnightWalkers' special police forces.''

''The military police force of Rio currently have the most advanced equipament of South America thanks to the connections of the national goverment with the Global Pact Defense that are sent monthly every year.  With that said, the police was fast enough to move a mobile and temporary central to coordinate the actions of the police in the hotel but not only that but they are also there to coordinate the snipers and ground forces around the hotel... Needless to say, the current Minister of Defense of Brazil, Felix Drake, which is revealed to be working with the Revelation of Qliphoth is directly involved with this division.''

- Police Officer 1: How is the situation inside?

''- Radio: [We evacuated the first and second floor. We just moved our forces to the third floor but there is no sight of any terrorist or suspects].''

A male voice came out of the radio inside of a tent where the commanders were operating just a few meters away of the hotel.

''- Police Officer 1: Roger that. Keep this channel informed. This is an order.''

''Inside of the tent, several men in black were looking at one of the operators in front of the radio. All of them had a nervous expressions on their faces as they gazed at the man in black suit seated on the other side of the tent. And next to him, there was another woman that was even more scarier than him.''

- Police Officer 2: Is it okay so far, Lord Asmodeus?

''- Asmodeus: Good. Good. Very good. Keep this good work, gentlemen... if you want to live for eternity as demons.''

''It was just normal for them to be nervous... because right in front of them, a legendary ancient evil was seated. He may look like a human but that person was indeed Asmodeus. A day ago, Asmodeus was summoned by the spies of Revelation of Qliphoth in Rio de Janeiro and gave him the body of Joaquim Batista, the Senator in the Supreme Court of Justice of Brasilia, one of the most important people in Brazil.''

''Asmodeus is a king of demons, mostly known from the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit, in which he is the primary antagonist. The demon is also mentioned in some Talmudic legends; for instance, in the story of the construction of the Temple of Solomon. He may look like a normal human but this devil is one to be understimated.''

''- Asmodeus: Things will be easier than we expected. What do you think, Lady Vira?''

''Asmodeus stared at the woman beside him that was Vira. She maliciously licked her lips as she looked at the hotel and could sense Katarina's presence.''



<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Vira: Everything is going as planned... Soon... Very soon.'

<p style="text-align:center;"> Inside of Rio Hotel  <p style="text-align:center;"> 22th Floor  <p style="text-align:center;"> 12 minutes later 

''The police was acting fast and there was nothing to stop the manipulated forces of law from executing their duty. Right now, the police of Rio, including the Civil and Military, are being manipulated by the Revelation of Qliphoth? How did this happen? ''

It has been stated many times by now that the Revelation of Qliphoth has an underground influence that is easily considered worldwide and has even more connections than underground criminal organizations.

''Dictatorships, researchers, scientists, politicians, religious leaders, industrialists, senators, cartels, presidents, police officers, generals, directors of private companies, paramilitary groups, military officers, leaders of mafia clans, gangsters, dealers, businessmen... there is nothing the Revelation of Qliphoth can't reach. Absolutely. Nothing. ''

''The Revelation of Qliphoth is an ancient demonic organization that existed for billion years and has directly affected the fate of humankind for centuries just like any other planet they are installed in. Earth itself is just one among other billion worlds they control, manipulating an entire nation is nothing to them. Because, on their side, they can offers like power and immortality to normal people that are inferior to demons.''

If a demon suddenly appeared before you offering eternal life, power and everything you desire without having to sell your soul to follow their orders, many would easily accept their deal without thinking twice, because deep inside they want to become demons so they don't need to go to hell for sealing a pact with a demonic being.

''And this is what happened. Manipulating and deceiving hundreds of police officers, Vira and Asmodeus control the police force of Rio, including the entire country's government from the shadows. Like always, they use puppets to be their pawns in the human world. Humans. With strange pacts, they easily control the minds and actions of their pawns without much difficulty.''

''Under the skin of Joquim Batista, Asmodeus could easily deceive the commanders and captains of the police company with demonic deals; immortality. However, the only ones who knew there was a big conspiracy happening behind this police operation were the people inside of that tent outside. ''

''The rest of the police officers, also known as "pieces" were unawared of such conspiracy and were simply following orders. By this point, the "pieces" are surrounded the entire building with snipers and ships while the squad of the BOPE entered in the hotel to take down the "terrorists" inside.''

- Imperia: Mana, what is happening here?

''It's been like 20 minutes since the operation outside begun but Imperia only woke up now. Cyborgs don't really need sleep but Imperia still tries to sleep so she can still keep her humanity and old habits as human. Every time a Cyborg sleeps, they will lock their mind inside of their heads and turn their senses off of the real world. For example, if someone fired a gun right beside Imperia while she was sleeping, she wouldn't hear it.''

''With a surprised expression, Imperia gazed at Mana, who was looking at the window of their suite. She was scared like if something terrible was happening outside... the police force were surrouding the building for some reason. If it was only that, Mana could still be calm but when Imperia changed her sight to the TV that was on. From there, she could know why Mana was so terrified. In the TV, Imperia listened to an important news saying terrorists were hidden inside of Rio Hotel... and the scariest part is that their faces were being exposed in the TV. Lucas, Tomas, Katarina, Mana, Imperia, Jin... absolutely everyone who went to the hotel were falsely being accused of being terrorists.''

''- Imperia: What the hell? Mana! What is happening here?!''

''Imperia just woke up and she could not understand a thing of what was happening. However, judging by Mana's stonished expression, she must know what is happening.''

- Mana: ................

''Mana took a deep breath before returning to her normal senses. ''

''- Mana: To be honest. I don't have a clue... but I believe we are being framed of being terrorists of KnightWalker Funeral Parlor. They are saying we made dozens of hostages inside of the hotel. But...''

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

Imperia widened her eyes in shock but not as much as Mana who was still trying to understand the situation as the lights of police cars outside illuminated the dark room.

''- Imperia: Terrorists? We? What in the world is happening here? Everything was normal until a hour ago...''

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

''Imperia and Mana suddenly heard several footsteps of boots outside. There was no doubt the men of BOPE had just arrived in their room to execute them.''

''- Imperia: I don't know what is happening but we have to contact Kotori and find the others. ''

Mana clenched her fists and let out a forced smile.

- Mana: Our investigation ended too soon.

Act 18
<p style="text-align:center;">' Meanwhile...  <p style="text-align:center;"> Europe ' <p style="text-align:center;"> France  <p style="text-align:center;"> Paris  <p style="text-align:center;"> KnightWalker Supreme HQ  <p style="text-align:center;"> Eckidina's Office 

Of course, information nowadays are immediately delivered to the entire planet easier than information was delivered back in 2016 with the power of media and internet.

''Even in France, a country that is being controlled by the KnightWalker Family for decades, has access to the news happening outside of the world. Even now, with the World War III wrecking havoc, the KnightWalker Family still have access to information coming from outside because media doesn't choose sides in a military conflict... at least international TV companies that are powerful enough to keep themselves neutral in the deadliest conflict of human history.''

- (???): Oh ho...

''Seated in her own personal office inside of KnightWalker Supreme HQ, Eckidina KnightWalker was watching a news via internet in her cellphone. No--it's wrong to say this girl is the "Eckidina KnightWalker" we all knew. Eckidina KnightWalker was a pure and dark psychopathic monster who lived only to cause mayhem and destruction so she could feel alive in a boring world where everyone was equal. ''

''However, this girl seated in the office that used to be Pyscho Eckidina's, is another clone of many Eckidinas. The Eckidina KnightWalker who caused the World War III for her own amusement is dead... she was drove to insanity after being betrayed by Michael Langdon in her partnership with the latter.''

'' After Psycho Eckidina committed suicide following her treason, this Eckidina, also known as "Otaku Eckidina", declared herself the new director of KnightWalker Family, replacing her old clone without the knowledge of anyone besides Misogi Kumagawa, Eckidina's butler and boyfriend. ''

''- Otaku Eckidina: Ooh... so the Rogues somehow got themselves into trouble without the need of me? It seems they are surrounded by the police force of Rio and are now exposed to the entire world as terrorists. Don't you think this is good, Senpai?''

''Eckidina looked at the dark and creepy entity standing up in front of the window of her office, gazing at the town with its dark and evil eyes... it was the Fallen's Essence, the mastermind behind all evil in this world... or a PART of it.''

''- The Fallen: [I am late... huh.]''

''The Fallen's Essence growled like an angry animal. But that was only normal because another greater evil is about to rise, something he can't stop.''

''- The Fallen: [There are many reasons why I wanted to destroy this world after consuming all souls of this planet... one of them is of course obtain unlimited power, immortality and superiority over my creator so I can kill him and take his place... but there was also another reason. In this universe, there is someone that even me, the Great Fallen, fears. And her name is Astaroth... I desired to end this whole world before she could rise... but it seems I failed. My long plans. Designs. Works. All of it was in vain... Eckidina.]''

The Fallen released his fists like if he was giving up.

''- Otaku Eckidina: What does it mean? This... "Astaroth" is related to incident happening in Brazil right now?''

This Eckidina knew exactly who was Astaroth but kept her mouth shut about her.

''- The Fallen: [I tried to end this world so I could also destroy Qliphoth with my own hands... but I failed. This world. My plans. You. Every single living being. Every human. Everything is over. Because right now, Astaroth is about to DEVOUR this world. And there is no one who can stop her...]''

...The Judgment Day has arrived.

Lyrics
You could have been all I wanted But you weren't honest Now get in the ground You choked off the sorriest of favors

But if you really loved me You would've endured my will If you're just as I presumed You're a whore in sheep's clothing

Fucking up all I do Yeah, and if, oh, here we've stopped Then never again will you see this in your life And onto the glory at my right hand

Here laid to rest, is our love ever low With truth on the shores of confession You seem to take premise to all of these, so

You stormed off to scar the armada Like Jesus played leader I'll drill through your hands The stone for the curse you have blamed me

With love and devotion, I'll die as you sleep But if you could just write me out To never this wonder Happy will I become?

Be true…

Vira Hermes' Message


<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Vira: If you were here, I'd whisper sweet nothings in your ear and appeal to all your fears. If you were mine, if you were only mine I'd bring you so much further down and twist your mind until the end of time. You will never realise what darkness lies inside my mind... Sister... ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Vira: I'll step on you, tie you up, beat you up Kick you, be a cocktease, hang you But that's just how I express my love for you, Katarina. You're me only true love in this world. And my only family. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Vira: I can't use what I can't abuse. And I can't stop when it comes to you... You burned me out, but I'm back at your door. Like Joan of Arc coming back for more I nearly died. I came to cut you up. I came to knock you down. I came around to tear your little world apart. I came to shut you up. I came to drag you down. I came around to tear your little world apart and break your soul apart. EVERYONE WHO IS A FRIEND OF MY FAMILY WILL DIE! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Vira: I want to mix our blood and put it in the ground. So you can never leave. I want to earn your trust Your faith, your heart. You'll never be deceived. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Vira: I have been looking for you for a long time, love, but it's always this way. You always try to escape me, always try to leave me, and you never stay, never, and I don't understand why. I love you best. I always loved you best, even when you didn't remember my name: you'll remember me eventually, won't you? No one else will ever love you as much as or the way I love you. Katarina. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Vira: I was meant to be yours. We were meant to be one. Don't give up on me now! Finish what we've begun. You were meant to be mine. I am all that you need. You carved open my heart! Can't just leave me to bleed! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Vira: When you’re gone, I’ll go mad. So don’t throw away this thing we had. Cuz when push comes to shove. I will kill your friends and your new family... Sister... To remind you of my love... And drive you insane just like me. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Vira: You're going to LOVE ME! ''

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Elsa: So, you’re a masochist? Whatcha doing later? ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Asmodeus: Forget about yourself for a second and try saving others. Don't wield your power for your own sake. Because getting trapped by your own hate and acting out of pure self-interest... makes you the furthest thing from a salvior. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Jin: In the world, those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends to follow the rules are worse than scum. They become cowards. They become weak. I was once one of them... but after seeing how these guys put their lives in risk to save a strange person (Yen Kellan), I changed my mind. They are not protecting. I'm not protecting them. We are protecting each other. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Asmodeus: I was born to put an end to Gods' life! I was once a ruler of Hell! But then my era came to an end... but rest assured for now I'm one of Astaroth's hands. For no living being can defy Astaroth! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Petelgeuse: Sloth, sloth, sloth, sloth! Please forgive us the sloth that has led us to betray your goodwill! Love... We must repay love with love! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Kruel: Emotions? Nope, I've got nothin' like that. I told you when we first met, didn't I? I'm a snake. With cold skin, no emotions, that slithers around searching for prey with its tongue, swallowing down whatever looks tasty. ''

???
<p style="text-align:center;"> Europe  <p style="text-align:center;"> France  <p style="text-align:center;"> Paris  <p style="text-align:center;"> Ward Walker 000  <p style="text-align:center;"> Last Floor  <p style="text-align:center;"> 12:53 AM 



- General Droid: Are you sure about bringing her to this matter, sir?

''Right now, on the last floor of Ward Walker 000 in Paris, the director of Unit-CM 130 and his general droid were staring at a giant portal at the end of a large room filled with pipes and gas. That place was different from everything on the upper floors of the Ward Walker base.'' ''- CM: Yes. It's more than obvious my forces in Morte failed against the strength of the Rogues... This is how they call themselves, right?''



CM and the general droid, who were looking at the portal being activated and being guarded by two droids, were speaking to each other without giving themselves a direct look.

''- General Droid: Yes. The Rogues. This is what the files of Ratatoskr show.''

''The question is: why in the world the MPS has access to the files of Ratatoskr? The question is very simple. CM once mentioned there is a spy in their ranks, but the reason why he gave off such vital information is unknown but perhaps he is trying to turn the Rogues and Ratatoskr against themselves in a state of paranoia. Putting that aside, the spy inside of Fraxinus is the one giving CM access to their most private secrets.''

''- CM: I see. But well, continuing...The last battle between my forces and the Rogues showed me that they might surpass their power level one day. And I fear the Rogues might attack us directly. They are intelligent and very smart. ''

''The general droid was surprised with CM's revelation. Everyone, including the most intelligent droids in MPS always thought CM saw Ratatoskr and the Rogues as small fries not worthy of his attention... But in truth, he always considered them a threat.''

''- CM: What's wrong? You think my decision is a mistake?''



CM is not one who take criticism easily like other directors of MPS, so if you stay in silence for too long after hearing his opnions or decisions, he will immediately think you're against his wishes.

''- General Droid: Not really. I'm just surprised that you consider these Rogues such a threat to the point to bring the strongest Spiral-woman alive in this Multi-Universe.''

''Like ExKriegs, Abyssals, Black Demons, Vampires, Angels and other races, there is also an unknown race coming from the cosmos... From a very distant universes that you might take quintillion years to reach at the speed of light. This race is called "Spiral", a rare types of people born with a strange and uncommon power called "Spiral" that is an element from the core of the Multi-Universe that grants people different types of people from nature.''

''The name "Spiral" is used to both people born as Spirals or "Spiral" as the power itself. Vergil, Nnoitra Jiruga and Reaper are examples of Spirals. Yuuki Terumi is not one due to his unknown power granted by a demon king (the power of immortality)''



''- CM: I once lost my life... Or my data... Because I overstimated my victims. I thought they were submissive to me and I did whatever I wanted to them without using brute strength to fight back because I thought they were weak and could do nothing to fight my rule.''

''CM is a scientist and say everything he do is for the sake of science... Yet, he still possess one of the most wicked feelings that humans can have: sadism... He loves to dominate his victims and make them suffer. However, after his first death 18 years ago (a death that was not explained yet at the moment) his sadism got less active and he became more focused in his dream.''

Suddenly, soon afterwards, the portal began to bright in a white light and someone stepped out of the portal in total silence.

''The first the droids saw were a par of two female legs in boots and dress. CM immediately began to make his way towards the woman who just arrived and amazingly showed some kind of respect towards her... Something that is rare.''

The woman with long silver hair looked around and noticed Unit-CM 130 and his bodyguards on the other side of the room.

''-CM: Welcome back... Dunkelheit, Princess of the Spirals.''

The known as Dunkelheit gave CM a confident smile and showed off a powerful attitude of a tyrant.



<p style="text-align:center;"> - Dunkelheit: I've arrived, Sir CM.
