 * Sumireko: Previously on Firenza Junior...

Matt immediately raised his blade and tried to attack Carissa, but then, Terra of the Left had appeared all of a sudden and blocked Matt's way with a blow of sandstorm. ''In anger and rage, Terra appeared in front of Matt and immediately blocked Matt's attack. Matt tried to take Terra down, but then he heard another voice.'' ''Matt suddenly turned back and saw Maria being held hostage by Vento of the Front. It was Vento who made this threat.'' Vento then gave a death glare at Acqua, and Acqua was surprised to see Vento there, looking at him with anger and rage.
 * Index_v14_274.jpg: It is YOU who will pay!
 * Matt: Uh, sand...
 * ???: Cease fire, now! Otherwise, we will kill her right now!
 * Maria: Please, no, don't do this...
 * Vento: Shut up! I should have killed you long ago for impersonating my only family... that  he took away from me!
 * Acqua: What is going on? Why is Vento looking like that?

Maria tried to remind Acqua, but Vento forced her to hold her toungue. Seeing all of those things happening, Terra chuckled in some kind of diabolical manner, and he looked at Acqua, Fiamma and Vento.
 * Maria: Acqua! Vento is under...
 * Vento: I said, "Shut up!"
 * Terra: Finally, after so many days, we Right Seat of God had finally stand together, we four.

Fiamma only glared at Terra with calmness. ''Terra cackled sarcastically and looked at the flying fortress of Fiamma above the sky. He ignored Acqua and turned to Fiamma.''
 * Acqua: You are no longer one of us, Terra... neither is Fiamma. I know Fiamma is a megalomaniac all along, and yet I never expected that YOU are someone just like him!
 * Terra: Oh, is that what you are planning, Fiamma? I am impressed, but seriously, don't you think it is a waste? This world is doomed, and we can only allow it to step towards its end. All of us, including me, cannot make any difference in the end...

''Terra then raised his sword and attempted to strike down the Patriarch. Carissa seized the chance and made Villian her hostage as well.'' The Patriarch stood up and glared at Terra despite he only had one eye left. ''Krans then rolled his only eye and he had an idea. He secretly blinked to Matt and Matt nodded. The Patriarch then turned to Vento'' ''Krans crouched and carefully put down his sword... before throwing it at Vento. Seeing this, Vento immediately blocked it. Maria seized the chance and grabbed the necklace of Vento.'' ''Maria finally striped the necklace from Vento using her strength, and then, Vento's eyes turned white and blank. She immediately fell on the ground. Carissa noticed this and tried to resist, but Villian bit the wrist of Carissa and stepped on her foot.'' ''Carissa was so painful that she had to release Villian due to pain and shock. Carissa widened her gaze and could only watch as Villian ran to Acqua. Acqua immediately hugged her in his arm.'' Villian joked as always. Acqua smiled and then he turned to Terra and was looking at him with a more serious look. ''Fiamma looked at the sky and snapped his finger, before the fortress disappeared. Terra, however, did not raise his sword. Vento was in comatose, and Maria was taking care of her. Carissa stepped back and snarled at her enemies.''
 * IMG_2384.jpgTerra: ... unless you agree to start a parley between the two sides. Be quick, since the Mother Superior is coming here by herself, and I am not sure if she will spare you all.
 * Krans: You are a coward, Terra!
 * Krans_R._profile.pngKrans: Fine, I will put down my arms...
 * Maria: Snap out of it!
 * Carissa: AHHH!!!
 * Villian: Leave me alone!
 * Acqua: Are you all right?
 * Villian: What made you stood by and looking at me, you dimwit mercenary?
 * Acqua: Look, you have done too much to cause mayhem. Get out of here!
 * Carissa: If I can take my new army here...

Terra, however, remained his calm. ''The Patriarch clenched his fist and widened his only eye. His answer surprised everyone.'' Terra was now the only one who can look at Krans in calmness and bit his lips. ''​The Patriarch looked at the burning city behind him and narrowed his eyes. He faced Terra once again.'' The Patriarch then summoned a green crest inside his palm, and then, he widened his eyes and placing the crest inside his chest... Acqua widened his eyes and shouted out, as everyone watched as the Patriarch transformed into his next form...
 * Terra: What do you think, Patriarch?
 * Krans: I can't let you go. No one can leave. It can only reflect poorly on my citizens.
 * Terra: Did you forget? You are now just a powerless human.
 * Krans: You are right. I am a weak and worthless human, but God had shown me His light. I will not hesitate to apprehend against evil like you so that you will pay for those war crimes!
 * Acqua: That is...



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Krans: Behold the true power of Russian Orthodox Church! ''

''The Patriarch turned into a new divine appearance with shining body with golden and green aura. He narrowed his eyes and glared at Fiamma of the Right.'' ''Maria and others around him could not believe her eyes. Maria could only open her eye wider and had her jaws open in awe. Vento is still under comatose and closed her eyes, losing unconsciousness.'' Even Maria was shocked by the transformation of the Patriarch, but the latter seemed calm about all this. ''Krans immediately charged himself at Fiamma, Carissa and Terra. He raised a sword before he clashed with Terra's sword.'' Terra grinned wickedly as he narrowed his eyes. ''Terra's words shocked Fiamma who was beside Terra. Fiamma watched as Terra pushed the Patriarch away and settled himself. Terra's mouth began to bleed a bit, but he immediately brushed it away.'' ''Terra's word not only shocked Fiamma, but also shocked people around all of them. Terra took a glare at the Patriarch and looked at everyone.'' Terra then approached to Fiamma, and he narrowed his eyes bitterly. ''As Terra was speaking, the Patriarch tried to attack Fiamma and Terra, but Carissa blocked her way. She turned her head to Terra with shock all the while blocking herself from the attack of Patriarch Krans.'' Carissa then narrowed her eyes at the Patriarch before her new sword shone white light from its blade. ''After the end of the English Civil War, Carissa had her Sword of Curtana broken. Later, with the help of The Fallen's Essence, Carissa had recreated another blade using the shattered shards of the Curtana Original and fueled it with dark magic. She blocked the Patriarch's attack, but was knocked back by the small storm caused by the Patriarch's wings.'' ''Fiamma did not heard Carissa's cry for help, and Terra merely looked at an unconscious Vento and an infuriated Maria. Maria tried to attack him, but he blocked her with sand.'' ''Maria was blown on the ground by the sandstorm, and she landed beside Vento. Terra glared at Vento and smiled in an sarcastic manner.''
 * Krans: Fiamma of the Right, you are arrest for arson and war crime! Behold the Wind Armatus!
 * Maria: What is this?
 * Krans: I will never allow you to escape, never!
 * D93de9e9e47d340b7b49be01606.jpgTerra: Patriarch Krans, you are pathetic. You had your Crest of Seven Deadly Sins taken by Pope Michael, and now you are handing another ancient artifact to him!
 * Krans: Silence! Don't you ever refer him as a pope in front of me! He is just a putrid hypocrite who work for those putrid KnightWalkers!
 * Terra: Really? You can leave that as your final words when the Second Hands of the Apocalypse Satellite is activated!
 * Fiamma: The second Hands of the Apocalypse Satellite?
 * 62003205_p0_master1200.jpgTerra: Your Star of Bethelehem is nothing but a useless piece of trash now. You created it for nothing unless you want us to retreat from this planet with it... Can't you see?
 * Fiamma: But the Pope...
 * Terra: The Pope himself never approve your arrogant and megalomanical dreams of such a Noah's Ark! He wants some more realistic thing! He changed his mind, and now your project is a failure!
 * Terra: Can't you see that? You are not the one in charge now. The Pope himself is now the new leader of the God's Right Seat, code named "Tenabrae of the Centre", among all of us - including you!
 * Carissa: Stop talking there! Help me out! I cannot hold him for too long!
 * Carissa: Taste the Shard of Curtana!
 * Carissa: Fiamma! Terra! Help me out!
 * Terra: Hmm...
 * Terra: Ha, Vento of the Front, as a top member of the Right Seat of God, you have such a shameful defeat.



''Maria and Matt carried an unconscious Vento into the wounded camp. Vento was mumbling something, but she was yet from awakening. Maria arrived in front of a guard.'' The guard took a look at Vento and was surprised. Maria nodded with her eyes narrowed in anger. ''The guard realized what Maria meant (judging her serious and nonsense words) and immediately called other guards. They carried Vento into a tent. Maria stood outside of the tent and bit her lips in anger.'' ''Matt did not answered. He looked down on the ground as his head was sweating.'' ''Maria looked at Matt and immediately knew what had happened. She looked at him with an expression as if she was ready to scold him.'' Matt immediately lowered his head and his eyes was having tears rolling. ''Before she could scold Matt, Maria immediately saw a scar on Matt's face. Maria was surprised when she saw it.'' Maria looked at the scar, and all of her anger turned into sadness.
 * Maria: Excuse me! Excuse me! Here... here is an emergency!
 * Maria: Here is another one who need to be saved!
 * QWASDEE23333.pngGuard: Isn't that Vento of the Front?
 * Maria: Yes, and she needs help! I will explain to you later! Save her first!
 * Maria: Matt, did you find Sister Paula and Mary Spencer?
 * Matt: Uh...
 * Maria: You didn't?
 * Matt: Maria, I failed...
 * Matt: I am so stupid... I lost them...
 * Matt: I tried to capture Paula, but she claimed that the blade had already "return to its chosen one" before slashing my face and escaped via teleportation... I had no other choice since the city was in the mess, so I must help you to get rid of the intruders first... because I cannot let my family to do all of those things while I am out there for nothing.
 * Maria: Boy, you're such an imbecile...

''Despite scolding Matt, Maria was showing a sad expression on her face. She closed her eyes, and felt weak all of a sudden.'' ​Matt heard this and immediately patted Maria's shoulder, comforting her. Just as everyone were feeling sad, Magilou and Noelle came out from the wounded camp, and behind them, there was shouting from a orderly. Magilou ignored the words of the orderly and walked towards Princess Villian. ''Villian nodded and looked at Magilou. She never met this magical girl before.'' Magilou shook her head with a sad sigh. ''Noelle followed Magilou out and looked at Princess Villian. With full respect, she immediately bowed in front of the princess.'' Noelle then turned to Magilou and whispered to her. Magilou shook her head and sighed. ''​Magilou lowed down her head. It was so rare to see her with such a troubling face.'' Maria widened her eyes in shock and she sighed helplessly. Maria tried to ask about the situation of the Patriarch, Esther and Mary Spencer, but suddenly, she was approached by a resistance guard who was taking a man with green hair and white suit, much to Maria's surprise. The green-haired man with white suit struggled in anger and made his complaints. ''Maria immediately walked forward and looked at the strange man with confusion. The green-haired man looked at Maria with a playful attitude and scoffed.'' Maria frowned her eyebrows. ''Maria asked this and Aureolus nodded. Maria then opened a bounty poster with Aureolus' portrait and showed it to him.'' Facing Maria's sarcasm, Aureolus shrugged his shoulders with a calm smile. ''Maria blinked her eyes as she walked back. She raised her hand as a gesture to give orders.'' ''Matt heard this and was surprised since he recently learned Spanish. Although he was not very well with Spanish, Matt heard the word sounded like "liberty". He then realized the meaning of this order.''
 * Maria: No... I am the only imbecile here, the most foolish one of us all. I have responsibility on this mess as well, since I never expected that Fiamma of the Right would be here. I never expected that my godmother would be used as a tool... This is all my fault.
 * Dwodof.pngMatt: No, it's not. Michael used Vento as his gun to point at you, at us... It was his fault.
 * Orderly: Wait a minute, Magilou! Your injury is not recovered! Wait a minute!
 * Magilou: You... you are Princess Villian Windsor of the United Kingdom, am I right?
 * Villian: May I have your name, please?
 * Magilou: I am Magilou. It is good to see you here. I hope you can help us... out from such a situation...
 * 62711954_p0.jpgNoelle: Your Highness...
 * Noelle: Magilou, I told you to rest until you are recovered from your wound. You should listen to that orderly and take a rest. Poison Ivy will help you with it.
 * Magilou: I can never fall asleep, thinking that Carl is now suffering not just physically, but also emotionally. He seemed to be haunted by some sort of evil inside his heart, and he was having a disturbing face. I am deeply worried with it. He was crying...
 * 31686532934_c04b362f89_b.jpgMagilou: No, it was not crying. It was the roar of anger. His roar was so loud, horrid and agonizing that so many patients were disturbed. The orderlies had to bring him to another camp alone, but I am deeply worried. I do not know what was wrong to him...
 * Maria: It is so bad... We are now in the gravest peril. Time is not on our side. By the way, what about the Patr--
 * Guard: Lady Maria, we captured a stowaway.
 * ???: I wasn't stowing away, you dimwit! I merely boarded without permission!
 * ???: Huh, hmph, Angel of Flame, your trick of coming-back-to-life does not scare the mighty Aureolus Izzard!
 * Maria: Aureolus Izzard? Is that your name?
 * Maria: The Catholic Church offered 100,000 euros for your only head on your neck, and now you are here. Are you looking for refugee here, alchemist?
 * Aureolus: Hst let this guard of yours release me. Seriously, Ms. Arzonia, I won't tell you that I already joined the Peace Foundation and is here to reunite with my pal, Acqua of the Back.
 * Maria: Libéralo. (Release him.)
 * Matt: You let him go?
 * Maria: I said release him, but I do not want to let him go. He may have something here to tell us.

Maria then turned back to Aureolus as she looked at him with her eyes. ''Aureolus then tried to tell the things that he saw on the street, but all of a sudden, an explosion occurred at the nearby tents. Everyone was shocked. Aureolus swallowed the words he was going to say back to his guts.'' Maria immediately turned back as she saw two guards coming towards her. ''It was obvious that everything that was bad all came into one time, the fire, the invasion and the killing spree all in one. Feeling more and more upset, Maria then turned to Matt and widened her eyes.'' ''Matt immediately escorted Aureolus and went to safety. Nodded, ​Maria then turned to Noelle and Magilou.'' ​Maria then turned to the rest of the guards. Followed by guards, Maria raised her sword and ran against the time itself in order to reach Melancholia, before she had Carl as her prisoner.
 * Maria: Alright, is there anything you want to tell us?
 * Aureolus: It is...
 * [[File:Jeanne_alter_and_ruler_fate_grand_order_and_fate_series_drawn_by_dai_xt_sample-e9a725e17cab6f1c639a3db477a5309f.jpg|thumb|300px]]Aureolus: Oh...
 * Guard: Lady Maria! Melancholia is here! She is trying to capture Mr. Robinson herself!
 * Maria: It is her!?
 * Maria: Matt, protect Pricess Villian and Aureolus. Ask about the things he is about to tell.
 * Matt: You can count on me.
 * Maria: Noelle, take Magilou back to the tent and ask Vasilisa for the Patriarch's condition.
 * Noelle: Roger that.
 * Maria: Rest of you, please follow me and I will not let her get close to Carl!

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Maria: Hang on, Carl! '

''As Maria stared at Melancholia, she suddenly saw something which was wrong. She saw another figure with pale skin and blue eyes, wearing in silver armor. The eyes of that person were full of sorrow and grief, and Maria was shocked to see the person.''
 * Joan_(FateZero).jpgMaria: Ha, now allow me to see the wicked part of your own soul, monster! I will see if you have a glimpse of redemption!
 * Maria: What?

The most shocking thing was that female person, who had the same face as Melancholia's face, but with no evil on it. Maria bit her lips and immediately attacked with the face Melancholia once again, as the latter shouted out to her all the while fighting.
 * IMG_2388.jpgMaria: No, it is just an illusion...
 * Melancholia: Did you see something? Did you see someone?

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Melancholia: Did you see my stupid past self? '

''Maria heard those words, and intended to ignore it, but when she heard the words "past self", Maria stopped her attack and immediately pushed Melancholia forward. Both of them floated at the sky and looked at each other.'' ''With a cruel smile, Melancholia then raised her hand and immediately showed to Maria a scene. Maria then saw the scene where Plaisir was tormented by Moloch and had her family and friends killed by Moloch.'' ''Before Maria could react, suddenly, Melancholia suddenly felt pain inside her head. She widened hr eyes and grabbed her head. Maria suddenly noticed that Melancholia's white hair was becoming golden, while one of her eyes were turning blue.'' ''Melancholia suddenly talked in a mixed voice, like there were two people talking the same sentence together. Maria sensed this and was confused. Most importantly, Maria sensed two kind of energy clashing inside Melancholia's body, hinting there were two kind of personalities inside her.''
 * Melancholia: In present days, my name is, as you know, Melancholia... but thousands of years ago... my name was Plaisir.
 * Maria: Plaisir?
 * Melancholia: Now, do you see? Have pity on me, please. I...
 * Melancholia: Wait... why am I feeling so hurt? Why am I looking like this?

One voice was gentle and sad, and the other was menacing and dreadful, and the latter was Melancholia's voice when she spoke to Maria. Melancholia pressed her head harder and harder, to the point of was bashing her own skull, as if she wanted some nefarious thing to get out of her head. Maria only stared at the scene with confusion, but then she raised her staff once again before it turned into a sword. However, before Maria could strike, Melancholia growled and immediately raised her hand. ''Melancholia immediately raised her sword and flashed a purple light. She immediately disappeared. With confusion, Maria could do nothing but landing and looking at the sky.'' Maria took a look at Carl's tent, finding that Carl was okay as the tent was under protection, and yet Maria was trying to figure out the truth behind what she had just saw... The visions, the split personality, the benevolence released from the body of Melancholia when she was under that unstable states... ''There were so many mysteries. Maybe Melancholia we saw... is a combination of two souls, Maria deduced. However, she was not sure.''
 * IMG_2222.JPGMelancholia (gentle): I won't allow her to lie to you! She is not the one who needs pity! She controlled me and made me to do those dreadful works!...
 * Melancholia (menacing): Hey, we are one and the same! I don't think you are going to get away from my crime!...
 * Melancholia (gentle): No, you are the evil! You had bad influence on my benefactor, Michael Langdon...
 * Melancholia (both): NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
 * Maria: Looks like she had a split personality... I must get rid of her very soon.
 * Melancholia (menacing): That wicked psychological disorder... I am still not fully in control... not yet!
 * Maria: What happened just now?

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Maria: Was Melancholia really once a tragic person or she was just acting?

''Maria, however, put the question behind and turned back. She wanted to find if Carl was okay, but the yelling of horror had made her startled. Magilou was beside him. Carl was roaring as if he having a horrible dream.'' ''Maria immediately rushed into the tent, and tried to shake Carl to awake him, but somehow his fist beat her out of the tent. Maria fell on the ground and lied on it. She could only see that Carl had his hair turned white.'' ''Maria stood up and bit her lips. She coughed blood suddenly. In order to avoid her state of choking blood being seen by the guards, Maria wiped the magma blood from her lips. Some blood drops fell on the snowy ground and sizzled due to its heat.'' ''Maria then raised back to her full height and bit her lips. She could feel how Carl was suffering inside his nightmare.'' ''Suddenly, Maria heard the voice of Matt coming not far away, and she immediately turned back, seeing Matt running towards him with Aureolus, Noelle and Esther. Maria widened her eyes in surprise as they approached her.'' ''Maria thought about Carl falling into the dark side, and it was very uncomfortable for her. She immediately stopped herself from thinking it. Matt turned his head and looked at Carl's tent, where the patient inside it was screaming. Matt took a deep breath and sighed.'' With a helpless sigh full of dismay, Matt then slowly spoke something that shocked Maria very greatly.
 * Maria: That voice sounds even more horrible than Melancholia... He must be in danger!
 * IMG_7641.pngCarl: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
 * Maria: It can't be... His fist was enhanced with dark magic...
 * U=148484210,2880566878&fm=214&gp=0.jpgMatt: Maria!
 * Maria: Matt? The situation of Carl is getting worse. I do not know what is going on, but I am afraid that he is slipping into the dark side...
 * Matt: Not only Carl is worsen. The entire situation was worsen.
 * Maria: Why did you said that?

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Matt: There is someone who might already slipped into the dark side. '

​Michael sighed with a smile, knowing even someone like Melancholia would call that woman scientist an evil monster... As he finished the words full of vast information as if he knew it all, Michael then stopped and looked at Melancholia, who was amazed to hear that Michael said all this.
 * I8bhuibni.jpegMelancholia: The main director of that doomsday weapon would be some kind of monster that is... wicked. Do you know who he or she is?
 * Michael: I don't blame you for calling her a monster. She is a monster. In fact, I am now admiring whoever that created the satellite and Hlokaust Cannon... since she had influenced the life of poor dear Azul Jissele... or Yona Lindray. However, I have no interest in meeting her, or what her name is... even if she is Eugen's aunt.
 * Michael: Melancholia...

Michael looked at Melancholia closely as if he wanted to see through her skin and into the deepest part of her soul. Melancholia thought a bit and asked. ''Speaking his blasphemic words inside the center of Vatican, Michael had no qualm and nodded with a sadistic grin. He turned to Melancholia, who looked at him with surprise.''
 * Michael: Is there something you want to tell me?
 * Melancholia: So, since the KnightWalkers are preparing the second Hands of the Apocalypse satellite, then the super weapon of Fiamma won't be used for now.
 * Michael: Yes, for now... since I don't just want this small country. I am one of the Anti-Christs. An Anti-Christ is someone who will conquer this universe... no, this omniverse... and make God cry! How will I stop in such a wasteland where God had forsaken? Therefore, I will wait until I can finally put that thing in its real preparation...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Michael: ... even if it means an eternity. '

Melancholia thought for a while before she bit her lips. ​Michael grinned wickedly as he thought about Vento, before he shrugged his shoulder. ​Michael's words surprised Melancholia, who looked at him with an admiring face.
 * Melancholia: What about Vento? I am afraid that those Russians are going to un-brainwash her. She will become our enemy, and even she could be sent back as a spy.
 * Michael: That depends. If Vento attacke us, then I will kill her. She has no use to me... Not anymore. If she returned back to us as a spy, I will keep her away from my plan. Even if she discovered them, I will come up with another. I prepared many in my stores, and as the last resort... even the entire Church... will be utterly destroyed.
 * Melancholia: Really? What will you do after you had the Church destroyed?

​Michael nodded with a evil smile. ​Michael then thought about Scathach, the Black Demon that invaded the Earth years ago, and he grinned. ''Now, Melancholia had returned to her zealous evil self, and Michael was pleased with it. Michael and Melancholia then walked into the dungeon to check the prisoners' condition. No one else was listening to what they said, other than themselves.''
 * Michael: I will build a new Church on the original one's ruins. I will rule it with the requirement of an absolute obedience, crushing the so-called New World Order  that woman established.
 * Michael: Alas, it will be nice if everyone could stay loyal to me, like you do.
 * Melancholia: Even if the whole world turn against you, I will support you since you are benefactor of mine.

''​Carl shook his head with sheer disappointment. He narrowed his eyes with a belief of black and white morality.'' Carl then covered his head and sighed before he turned back and sat in the corner with a gloomy face. ''Esther almost shivered when she heard the name of Franchesco Di Medici, for she never ever expected someone so cruel would take power. Everything happened in Vatican seemed oblivious to her. Cardinal Sforza had a face full of disgust as well.'' ''​Carl shook his head. He was too stubborn to listen to others.'' ''Carl stood up and went into a small house, locking himself into it. Everyone were astonished and worried for Carl's cynical and pessimistic attitude, but then, a voice came from behind.'' ''It was the voice of Vento of the Front, who stood not far away. Maria immediately turned back and saw Vento, who looked at her with a calm expression.'' Maria was feeling excited and she immediately ran towards Vento and hugged her. ''​Both of them were shedding tears of joy, and it made people beside them being moved. If that is not family, then nothing will be.'' Aureolus coughed and raised his hand. ''Maria and Vento had to separate themselves from the long time hug. Beside Aureolus, Princess Villian was worried. She, Esther Blanchett and Mary Spencer were personal friends after they met in the same university, and she was deeply worried. She knew what Aureolus was referring.'' ''Maria heard this and knew it was the parang that drive her into this, but as she was about to explain this to Villian, she saw Aureolus bit his lips and sighed. It was clear that even he was not sure about all of this stuff, either.'' After all, no one really saw Mary Spencer holding that accursed blade.
 * Carl: You all made me so disappointed. You want me to trust an enemy? Never. If an onion is rotten in half while its other half is perfectly all right, it is still a rotten onion. Their side changes, but not their nature.
 * Vaslilsa: Even after they joined our side?
 * Carl: Anyone who is not on our side is not on our side, and their surrendering cannot justify that they once helped a evil Fascist Cooperation to raise Hell on Earth!
 * Carl: Believe me, I had enough from those bad egomaniacs, especially that demonic Cardinal Franchesco Di Medici, who had become the head of Neo Inquisition! One day, I will slice him into pieces!
 * 13742.jpgSforza: As you can see, we all hate that brute, but you cannot work alone! You must be with us and we will help you!
 * Carl: I am always alone, work alone and live alone. I am glad that you never really sold me to a circus. Even if you had, never expect that I will count your profit for you. Now, leave me alone.
 * Vento: Yes, leave him alone... for now. This poor boy needs to cool himself down.
 * Vento: My child, you looked as if you had seen a ghost.
 * Maria: My Godmother... is that you?
 * Vento: Yes, it is me. The Patriarch used the Water of Life and saved me from my injuries. Glad to see you still here, Maria...
 * Maria: Oh, it is a long story, and yet I am happy to see you here.
 * Aureolus: Sorry to interrupt, but I am afraid that we diverted ourselves from our proper goal for too long.
 * TV_Tropes_Villian_2_9487.pngan: Aureolus, I knew Mary Spencer for so many years, and I could not understand. How can someone, with a good record that lasted for more than two decades with no blood on her hands, had became a murderous killer?

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Aureolus: I hope I was wrong. I hope Mary Spencer... is not guilty. ''

''Princess Carissa sat inside her seat inside her own meeting room facing several people. They were now around a round table. Carissa is the only one who had her face revealed, while other members had their face hidden in darkness.'' ''The question was about the royal family of England, and it was a fierce question to Carissa. Hearing all of this, Carissa stayed calm when she looked at the man who asked her the question.'' ''Carissa then looked at the others with a face of scorn. She then analyzed the recent situations.'' Carissa smiled to the people in front of her as they kept their silence with no expression.
 * ??? - 1: Princess Carissa, you mean your own sister have allied with a man with unholy tainted blood, right?
 * Reckless.Fist.(Raven).full.1965061.jpgCarissa: That traitor does not deserve to be a part of my family. I'd rather disown her... since she supported someone that will become a source of plague to this world... and she took the Chain Viper with her. I know who she will give it to.
 * Carissa: Recently, both the protestants from my own kingdom and the members of Russian Orthodox had made an alliance to the Church traitors Noelle Bor and Maria Arzonia. They founded a so-called rebels to assist Russian Resistance and Global Pact Defence... and protected a young man with demon blood.

''Carissa thought about her previous defeat at the hand of Carl, and she narrowed her eyes. It was apparent that she suffered much from that mysterious and accursed power that was far more formidable than she ever imagined. Then, gloated in an remorseless face, Carissa narrowed her eyes and grinned.'' Some other member of Iscariot Section XIII looked at their colleagues briefly, and then they asked Carissa in a serious manner. ''Carissa scoffed and she turned back bitterly. She did not reply to those members of Iscariot at first, only mocking them in her mind.'' Carissa then turned back with a smile. ​Although seemly being satisfied by this outcome, Carissa was in fact dissatisfied in her heart since she missed a chance to strike down Russian Resistance. Carissa sharped her eyes and grinned. ''The Iscariot was immediately curious and surprised. The members of Iscariot were not pleased at all with Melancholia the new Mother Superior whom Michael had ordered to be the Mother Superior.''
 * Carissa: Isn't your duty to wipe all the demons and heathens across the world, people from Iscariot Section XIII, hmm? The new Pope declares that young man as a demon. He plans to send your force to the place in such an excuse, in order to avoid war. Capturing a criminal won't start a war as long as you do it quietly. That boy has a dangerous weapon, which is his left arm. Be careful.
 * Icon_iscariot.jpgCarissa: After all, the whole world is not aware of your own existence... That is only a suggestion, and that's it.
 * ??? - 2: Princess Carissa, stop acting so vain and prideful in front of us.
 * Iscariot.jpg??? - 3: You are just a minion of the Pope who just recently joined him. Some of us... Some of us had already existed long ago and maybe as long as the Catholic Church itself.
 * ??? - 4: Even the Right Seat of God have to negotiate with us in certain manner, much less the Holy See. We will capture, tried and sentence Carl Robinson, but not for you. It is for God's justice.
 * Carissa: (think) * They are so stubborn and conventional. *
 * Carissa: Then, here is the question. Just how would you go and capture him without starting another major conflict? I recently accompanied God's Right Seat and tried to capture that Carl, my accursed cousin. Even so, it caused great mess and His Holiness had to put Fiamma in prison so that he can put it down.
 * Paranoidi.jpgCarissa: It avoided another conflict that can restart the war. I think you know it. It is not the time to restart the war, not yet. Even so, I think there are still some fear all around the globe and that's enough
 * ??? - 1: Hmm, it sounds strange from a English princess like you, who is fond of war.
 * Carissa: The fight is not the point. The point is the strategy. As we all know, we need to set out a nice strategy, and fortunately, the Mother Superior had told me something.

​Carissa's smile then faded and her face became more serious and sinister.
 * Carissa: She said to me that there was a blade created by Russian Orthodox Church that could turn human into serial killer, and now she had made my best friend, Admiral Mary Spencer, fall into the darkness.
 * Carissa: From what I heard from the Mother Superior, I deduced that Admiral Spencer is rampaging in the streets and tried to kill others whom she deemed as guilty. Now, it is our time to strike them.
 * 303ByzantineParang.png??? - 2: Under what reason?
 * Carissa: Can't you see?

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Carissa: The Russian Resistance is guilty for hiding demonic secrets. We must take back that demonic blade and capture Carl. That is enough for our actions. '

''Carissa's words immediately alerted the members from Iscariot Section XIII, and they whispered to each other, apparently discussing something. Carissa smiled as she realized her revealing of the "truth" worked, just as Melancholia said.'' ''Carissa cut in, and the members paused their own discussion. With a smile, Carissa spoke out another lie made by Melancholia.'' ''Hearing this, all of the members of Iscariot Section XIII were shocked. They looked at each other and realized that Carissa might told the truth. After all, they need to find a excuse to capture Carl Robinson without starting another battle.''
 * Carissa: Oh, misters, excuse me. I forgot one more thing... about Queen Esther Blanchett.
 * [[File:Furniture-meeting-room-with-black-glass-and-green-phospor-conference-table-combined-with-black-leather-upholstered-swivel-chairs-under-ceiling-fan-modern-conference-room-chairs-728x455.jpg|thumb|340px]]Carissa: Well, Mother Superior also claimed that Carl Robinson had kidnapped Queen Esther Blanchett and kept her hostage.

''With a smile, Carissa stood up and nodded. She was glad that she will finally set out to hunt down her cousin herself.'' Carissa then turned back and walked away, all the while thinking about Mary Spencer, her best friend who was possessed by demonic power. Carissa the gloated in sheer arouse in her mind.
 * Iscariot Members: We will consider your ideas. You are in charge of it.
 * MarySpencer27.jpgCarissa: Thanks. Now, if you excuse me, I will set out now.
 * Carissa: (think) * I am sorry, Mary, but I need to save you from this... and eliminate the Russian Orthodox Church with Papal Knights. Now, enter the hero. *



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Carissa: (think) * Today is the end of Russian Orthodox Church! The end of a regime that acquiesces to disorder! At this very moment in a place far from here, the Russian Orthodox lies to the country while secretly supporting treachery of the loathsome Resistance! That fierce blade which His Holiness had found will bring an end to the whole Russian Resistance, to their cherished rebels! ALL REMAINING SYSTEMS WILL BOW TO THE KNIGHTWALKER FAMILY AND WILL REMEMBER THIS DAY... AS THE LAST DAY OF RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH!!! * ''

<p style="text-align:center;"> 2 days ago 

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

Carl bit his lips and looked at the mysterious thing right in front of him. Maria narrowed her eyes as well, looking at the thing in front of her.
 * Carl: Is that what we salvage? I thought it was a treasure chest from a shipwreck.
 * Maria: The treasure chest... I never expected that I will salvage a treasure chest. I just heard there are rumors about sea monsters, and so I suspected that there were some conspiracy that the KnightWalker Family was planning...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Maria: ... under the sea. '

''They were facing a enormous body of a fish, which was decaying. Maria shrugged her shoulders in dismay.'' ''Maria then bit her lips and stepped back. She frowned her eyebrows in disgust. She almost vomited when she saw such a putrid abomination.'' Matt looked at Maria while narrowed his eyes. Maria closed her eyes and sighed.
 * Maria: Besides, we never salvaged it. It was pushed on the seashore by the tide, and people called the police.
 * Maria: I have called Vasilisa. She will come here to take this putrid corpse of such an unknown sea creature... and send it to Odessa.
 * Matt: Why Odessa?
 * Maria: I have arranged a research in our Odessa Sub-Base and study about all sorts of paranormal creatures.

​Carl quickly spoke after Maria was finished. Matt looked at Maria with skepticism. Carl sighed, and Maria covered her face with her own gloved palm. After Carl finished, Maria then stepped back. ''Matt had no idea about this. Everything happened during those days were absolutely mysterious. He really cannot figure it out.'' ''Matt suddenly saw Vaslisa appeared and stood next to the putrid corpse, and that had changed the topic and the mood. After a brief irrelevant chat, Vasilisa teleported herself, her friends and the corpse away to their sub-base in Odessa.''
 * Carl: Recently, people claimed that they saw some strange sea creature that they never saw before, with petrified smelling. They claimed that they were sea monsters.
 * Matt: Do you believe that?
 * Carl: Yes and no... They may saw some sort of strange sea creature, but Magilou think those people just mistook some strange but ordinary sea creatures that were dying as sea monsters. She never buys that.
 * 31686532934_c04b362f89_b.jpgMaria: But... if that is Melancholia planned on us... This dead creature appeared right near our current base. You think this is a coincidence or a conspiracy?
 * Matt: Wait, Vasilisa was here.



''Without any warning, Maria immediately slapped the face of Magilou, and the slapping noise could be heard to many. Maria was clearly angry with this, as she had slapped Magilou, someone she was usually sharing a friendly attitude.''

''It was not the end. With sheer brute force, Maria immediately subdue Magilou on the ground and slapped her butt again and again, like an infuriated parent beating her naughty child.'' ''People aside all loooked with a drop of sweat on their foreheads. It was apparent that even someone so gracious and gentle like Maria could become violent and terrifying.''
 * Resident_Evil_6_Haos_02.jpg: Screw you if you're "right"! You naughty brat! You learned to steal? You learned bombing? You dared to squander? This is a valuable thing for us! Maybe the KnightWalker Family is planning something right beneath the sea! You crude and dimwit kid, allow me to teach you a lesson!
 * Magilou: AHHH! DOMESTIC ABUSE! Help! AHHHHHHHHHH!!



''Suddenly, as Magilou cried in agony, Matt caught sight of something like a decaying human body. He immediately pointed at the monster fish's corpse and widened his eyes.'' ''Matt pointed at the fish corpse in horror. Maria stopped beating Magilou and looked at the burning fish, which had its skin burned off. Then, a horrifying thing happened... A rotten human body had came out, almost rotten and there were only blood flesh and bare bones. The maggots were covering on its face.'' ''​Maria can't hold her feeling of repulse and covered her mouth, almost throwing up all the lunch in her stomach. She immediately turned back and prayed in a Catholic manner. Magilou struggled to stand up, but as soon as she looked that corpse, she closed her eyes in disgust. In horror, Maria closed her eyes to avoid herself from seeing the rotten corpse.'' Matt looked closer and was apparently shocked when more skins of the dead fish were consumed by fire, revealing more corpses inside it. ''​Both Matt and Carl could not hide their feelings of disgust. Magilou stepped back in sheer fright. Carl looked at the corpses, but he bit his lips with disgust that could never be hidden. Matt immediately went to the bathroom and vomit, many clergies looked away and prayed in horror.''
 * Matt: Everyone take a look! What is this?
 * IMG_7641.pngMaria: Ew!
 * Maria: Is it a victim of the monster fish?
 * Matt: No, I don't think so.
 * IMG_7680.pngMatt: Ugh...

''Even the stoic Patriarch Krans seemed freaked out. Even so, the Patriarch did not acted as if he was feared. He was the only one who could face the bizarre scene with no qualm.''
 * Krans: This is not a fish... This is not even a sea creature.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Krans: This is a composition of dead bodies!


 * IMG_7682.pngMaria: Your Holiness, please take others out of the place. I need to speak to Magilou alone.

''Maria then turned to Patriarch Krans and made her request, which the Patriarch agreed and took the Eastern clergies and Carl out of the place. There was Magilou blinked her eyes and looked at Maria, feeling embarrassed.'' ''​Magilou lowed down her head and closed her eyes in dismay, like a kid confessing her mistakes at her mother. Seeing Magilou's attitude of confession, Maria calmed herself down and sighed, looking at Magilou.'' ''​Maria then turned back and looked at Magilou with an apologetic smile. It was like that Maria never blamed Magilou for anything.''
 * Magilou: So, I made a big trouble instead of big discovery, am right?
 * Deofjogf.jpgMaria: Probably, Magilou, I think it probably is a troubling but still big discovery. I no longer blame you from burning it.
 * Magilou: Oh?
 * Maria: I was angry because you had broke the rule of no stealing between family members or innocent citizens, one of the most vital rules of our family... but maybe, you could use your skills against those corrupt officials.
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.1632871.jpgMatt: (think) * So, Maria easily forgave Magilou, so easily... *

Meanwhile, Matt, who had returned back to the bathroom and was astonished to see Maria forgave Magilou so quickly, pretty much distracted him, toning down his feelings of disgust towards those dead bodies.

''After the short feeling of astound, Matt smiled as well since he knew Maria cared for all of her family members deeply. Maria then continued to speak, ignoring the burning corpses.'' Magilou blushed and bit her lips with a sigh. ''​Then, turning back to a serious expression, Maria then turned to peaked at the  fish mount of corpses and closed her eyes. She never wanted to see such a thing ever again.''
 * Maria: That is how Diamante Army works, like Robin Hood. I am sorry for beating you so hard. As long as you don't steal something from your teammates or innocent citizens, I won't punish you again. Next time, if you find something was wrong with anything we found, just tell me, okay?
 * Magilou: Nah, it's okay. I will.
 * Maria: Good kid. It was also my fault to beat you. I assume there was some parts of my dead brothers still inside of me... Some negative parts inside my blood... But I will try to be nicer next time.
 * Maria: It could be another work of Michael Langdon. One day, we will find the true reason behind all this... before things got out of control.



''After doing a treatment for a wounded soldier, Poison Ivy gasped and she immediately heard what Maria had said. Maria nodded and she spoke in a tone that was undeniable.'' ''​Maria then took a deep breath. She was determined to find Mary Spencer.''
 * Poison Ivy: Wait! You want to find Mary Spencer by yourself?
 * Maria: Yes, Ivy, and I must go in case Matt and Magilou are in danger. Now, I heard they ARE in danger just now!

''Maria then turned abck to go. Poison Ivy immediately widened her eyes and soon she bit her lips. She immediately blocked the way of Maria.'' ''Hearing this, Maria bit her lips. She became much more distraught after hearing Poison Ivy's words.''
 * Maria: Don't worry about me. I am fine.
 * Poison Ivy: Wait a minute! You can't... you can't just leave! I trust in Matt and Magilou, and I believe they won't be in danger. If you leave here so recklessly, who will take care of your Corazon Army?

''However, Maria turned back to Poison Ivy with her face became determined once again. She was thinking about an old friend of hers... or a former friend of hers she felt deeply sorry for.'' Thinking of Mikan, Maria closed her eyes and tears streamed down her cheeks. Poison Ivy immediately went to comfort Maria. ​Vasilisa beside Ivy thought a bit and then she nodded as well.
 * Maria: Yes, Melancholia had a surprise attack just some time ago. It was lucky for us that she left without taking Carl... but if she returned back once again, things will get uglier.
 * 57974245_p2_master1200.jpgMaria: However, I must save my friends from the enemies! Years ago, I had a friend named Mikan Tsumiki, and now she was brainwashed and became one of the Ultimate Despair top members, a puppet of Junko Enoshima!
 * Maria: I was too weak... I should have protect her... but I joined Mafusa Gang for being coerced by my savage brothers... I cannot bear it anymore. I am no longer what I was, and I must do something. Therefore, don't try to stop me. Our arguing had wasted my precious times, even if it is a few seconds!
 * Poison Ivy: Alright, alright, I know you are now upset, and I feel sorry for your loss, but this task is not a simple child's play.
 * Vasilisa: Ivy is right. If you are going to do this, someone must be in charge on your behalf, given the fact that the Patriarch is not very well. Who will be that person?

Just then, to the surprise of everyone presented in the scene, Princess Villian raised her hand. ''Maria then turned to take a look at the young English princess who was mildly shorter than her. Maria then immediately widened her eyes.'' Villian lowed down her head with a sigh. While speaking her words, ​Villian clenched her fist before she almost immediately revealed something hidden in a bag beside her by opening it. ''Maria widened her eyes when she looked at the thing in the bag. It was a axe attached on a long chain, and a gun was attached on the axe as well.'' ''As Villian showed this to Maria, people around her were all shocked by all of this, just as shocked as Maria herself. Even Vento (who was still struggling with her injury) and Acqua were both stunned with awe.'' Vento tried to go closer to see clearer view, but suddenly she felt her chest was full of pain. Vento was so shocked by the pain and she stopped in a second before started to cough blood. Maria immediately went to Vento to check her own condition, and Ivy stood up as well. Vento sighed as she covered her bleeding mouth. Vento then looked at Maria when she blinked her eyes. Vento then took a look at the Chain Viper inside the hands of Villian. ''Maria took a closer look at the Chain Viper. It was never damaged and was intact as well. She sighed as she thought about the days when she busted the magic weapon from the Tower of London while under Eckidina's brainwashing.'' ''Villian shook her head with a sigh. Acqua went forward and looked at Maria with a serious look.'' ''With a face of surprise, Maria heard Acqua and looked at others, who all nodded at her. Maria wiped her tears and nodded.'' ''Maria immediately overcame her fear when she held the chain. She closed her eyes when she tried to touch the chain, as all of her bad memories returned back to her.  She was abused. She was burnt. She was disfigured. She was turned into a Cyborg. She got brainwashed by Eckidina. She almost killed Acqua. She killed many innocent people. However, soon those bad memories became puff smokes when Maria thought about her sacrifice. At least, she did not die as a monster at all.'' Maria's hand got closer to the chain. Closer... ''... until she finally grabbed the chain between her fingers. She opened her eyes and held the chain tightly in her hands.''
 * Villian: I do. I can temporarily be the Corazon for now when Maria is on her duty.
 * Maria: Are you really sure that you will act on my behalf, Princess? This task is very hard for anyone.
 * Villian: I know, but I won't be afraid anymore. I am weak and powerless, but during the coup raised by my elder sister, Carissa, I realized that I can make a difference if I keep myself on the side of compassion and kindness.
 * Villian: Therefore, Maria, if I fail you, I will wait for your own punishment! This shall be the proof of my loyalty!
 * Villian: You won't be a stranger to this thing, will you, Angel of Flame?
 * Maria: No, I won't...
 * 20110507143825-1048628122.jpgVento: The Chain Viper?
 * Vento: Ugh!
 * Maria: GODMOTHER!
 * 20110507143735-50749242.jpgPoison Ivy: I am sincerely sorry, Maria. I told Vento she should take a rest due to her own injuries... but she did not listen. She determined to see you...
 * Vento: No, that's nothing. I have endured harsh situations even worse than this, and I overcame all of this.
 * [[File:Kirigiri_kyouko_danganronpa_and_danganronpa_1_drawn_by_zawameki_sample-678ecf631bfa9c70ec15b90c7e22b96c.jpg|thumb|340px]]Vento: When Kyouko Kirigiri told me that you are dead, it was so heartbreaking that I was mad at her... but now I came to realize that I was wrong about her. I am glad that you came back. I am glad that I was freed from those brainwashing as well.
 * Vento: Maria, if you want to save someone you cared about, this will be what you need.
 * Maria: But I feel guilty using it... I used the Chain Viper when I was a Cyborg under Eckidina KnightWalker's control. Why did you brought such a miserable thing to me, Princess? I used it to slaughter innocent people... and attacked Acqua.
 * Acqua: Look, I know you are upset, but that was neither the fault of yours or the fault of this weapon's. It was Eckidina's fault. If you want to save your friends, then accept it, please.
 * Maria: Very well. I accept it.
 * Maria: (think) * I won't be afraid anymore. *
 * Maria: (think) * There are so many good people needs to be saved. *
 * Maria: (think) * I shall no longer be a coward who could only cry for her sad past. That Maria Arzonia had died and I need to be reborn! *



<p style="text-align:center;">' - Maria: It is time to face it! '

''Maria soon felt there was more strength being poured into her body, as if the Chain Viper had gained her more power. Vento slowly wiped the blood on her lips and smiled at Maria.'' With tears filled in her eyes once more, Maria then walked forward and kissed Vento's cheek. ''Maria then turned back and opened her wings. Under the amazement of everyone, she went to her destination as fast as possible.''
 * Vento: That is Maria I know! Now, go forth and help your friends!
 * Maria: I have so much want to tell you, my dear Godmother, but that's for another time. I must go now. They'll wonder where I am

''The arrival of Matt, Mary Spencer and Magilou in her hideout seemed never disturbed Celestia. The trio just walked through the back door. Mary Spencer led the team, and Matt was following her, followed by Magilou behind him.'' As a response to Matt's question, Mary simply whispered to him in a calm voice. ''Mary was holding her rifle and walked towards a wooden door. She leaped towards the door and kicked it open.'' ''Mary rushed to a large room, with Matt and Magilou entered. They pointed their respective weapon to Celestia Ludenberg, who was sitting on a coach and watching television. Celestia reacted and raised her hand when she saw the trio.''
 * Matt: So how do we deal with this Celestia, Lady Spencer?
 * Mary: Just follow my lead.
 * Mary: Catholic Rebels! Don't move!

''Celestia was utterly shocked and confused. She had never expected that her hideaways was discovered so quickly even before she planned her next move.''
 * Mary: Good morning, Celestia.



''Celestian blinked her eyes in confusion. She tried to get her weapon, but Magilou used her magic and sent the weapons away. Celestia had no choice but facing her own interrogation.'' ​Celestia was annoyed and said an sarcastic answer. ​Matt was annoyed by Celestia's attitude, and he compared Celestia to Junko in his mind. Celestia then answered with no sarcasm.
 * Celestia: What the hell is this?
 * Mary: We're here about the gas bill. You are delinquent.
 * Mary: Where were you last night, say about 10:00 pm?
 * JunkoE.pngCelestia: (sarcastically) At your mama's, as always.
 * Matt: Answer the question.
 * Celestia: I was hiding from the fire of last night. A dozen people saw me.
 * Mary: A dozen of your lying, bottom-feeding friends led by Junko Enoshima and her gang?

​Magilou made her own question as well. Celestia seemed confused, but she answered it anyway.
 * Magilou: Does the name Jocelyn mean anything to you?
 * Celestia: No.
 * Mary: No? She was a plastic surgeon. Face lady for your mob buddies? Some sicko who killed and mutilated her victims?

''Celestia seemed even more confused. She shook her head in confusion and annoyance.'' ​Celestia then stood up from her chair and angrily bellowed. ​Mary turned her head to Matt. Matt turned to look at her with surprise.
 * Celestia: Wait... no. Like I said, so whatever the hell you think I did, I didn't.
 * Celestia: I was hiding from the fire when I was at the streets wandering! People saw me! I'm innocent, man!
 * Mary: You know what?

''Matt and Magilou were both surprised, Celestia was relieved and tried to sat back on her coach, but what happened next shocked all three of them. Mary did not stop pointing her rifle to Celestia. She turned her head and looked at the gambler with a pair of angry eyes.''
 * Mary: I think she's telling the truth. She didn't kill anyone.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Mary: But you're not innoncent.

''Within just seconds, Mary threw away her rifle and revealed a blade in her pocket. She immediately struck the blade into the chest of Celestia, much quicker than anyone else could ever imagine. Matt and Magilou watched those things happened in horror.''
 * Tumblr_o0t92218xP1rfx24fo1_500.giftia: Hmm?
 * Matt & Magilou: !!!

''Blood was drained from Celestia's body, and the floor was tainted by a blood red pool. In horror, Celestia's face turned even paler than usual, and soon enough, she collapsed on the ground and turned into a bloodless corpse.'' Magilou and Matt both tried to react, but Mary picked up her rifle and pointed it at Magilou, before shooting beside her, breaking a empty wooden cask. Soon, the air itself frozen, and Matt, Mary Spencer and Magilou were all involved into a confontation that neither Matt nor Magilou wanted.
 * 6827038697_f5b6b67ddf_b.jpgou: What the...
 * Magilou: Ugh...
 * Matt: ......

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

Matt and Magilou unwillingly dragged the corpse of Celestia to room with only one window as its source of light, all the while under the observation of Mary Spencer, who held her rifle in her hand and pointed at them. Matt and Magilou stopped dragging the corpse and bit their lips, looking at Mary Spencer with a horrified face. ''Matt and Magilou both looked at each other, and they looked at Mary Spencer. They could not believe what they heard or saw. Mary Spencer merely looked at them very calmly.'' Matt took a nervous deep breath and narrowed his eyes. ''​Mary did not responded. Instead, she asked Matt another two question.'' Matt nodded. ''Mary scoffed in scorn. She hated to think of the face of Jocelyn, and she spoke her words in sarcasm.'' ''Matt bit his lips and stayed calm, but he could not stay calm for too long. Soon, his words turned more desperate in his tones. He had now recogized that Mary Spencer killed Celestia Ludenberg with the accursed Byzatine Parang.'' Mary shook her head and scoffed once again, despite Matt's desperate words. ''Mary shook her head and closed her eyes. She did not answer.'' Mary opened her eyes and wielded her rifle again. Matt suddenly widened his eyes when he remembered what happened during the last night's fire... ''Mary smiled and then she walked around Matt and Magilou as they both looked at her. Due to the problems concerning Esther, the two cannot attack her recklessly.'' Mary's smile faded and her face turned menacing. Mary took a scornful look at the corpse of Celestia, and she then looked at Matt and Magilou again. Mary Spencer then turned back with her face darker and darker.
 * Mary: That's good. That's far enough.
 * Mary: I know what you two are thinking, Matt and Magilou. You're thinking, "Why would Admiral Mary Spencer, the Lady By-the-book, struck a hole in this unarmed scumbag? Could it be she actually killed Jocelyn, too?"
 * Mary: You see, I know that you've been investigating me, Matt.
 * Matt: Did you kill Jocelyn?
 * Aureolus_izzard_2405.jpgMary: Is that what Aureolus told you about what he heard from that dead slut? I know she said something to her before she died.
 * Matt: Yes, you're right.
 * Mary: It's probably the truest words that witch ever uttered. She chopped up bodies for murderers, and you knew she once changed the face of the mobsters. That is why many Mafusa Gang members escaped from their deplorable crimes. You're gonna tell me she didn't deserve it?
 * Matt: She deserve it, but you killed her with a blade that is filled with demonic curse. That is what I'm worried about. You may kill criminals now, but soon that curse will consume you and you won't distinguish guilty from innocent! You'll kill everyone.
 * Mary: Open your eyes, Matt. This blade is not a curse. This blade is like some sort of blessing... Now, I'm living like a renewed human beings.
 * Magilou: You know what Esther will feel when she saw you like this?
 * Magilou: What happened to you? How did you become this?
 * Mary: This... is who I've always been. I just needed someone to help me and unlock it.
 * Matt: What do you mean? What are you talking about?
 * Mary: Well, you're just gonna say that I'm sick. Well, I'm not. I have never been so clear, so powerful in my life. She wanted me to prove myself not to be some sort of coward, and I will prove it to her!
 * Matt: Sister Paula gave you that blade... and it might be under the command of Melancholia! Oh, for Christ's sake, they both fooled you!
 * Mary: Oh, you are a soldier, after all.
 * Matt: Don't you see? This means you're innocent. We c... we-we can get you help.
 * Mary: Can we just skip the part where you try to get me to give myself up?
 * Magilou: This isn't you. This is Melancholia's fault.
 * Mary: NO! The Mother Superior never lies to me! I'm not insane, and you are not seeing the big picture, both of you!
 * Matt: You're gonna frame us for the murder of Celestia Ludenberg?
 * Mary: That's up to you both.
 * Mary: I deal in absolutes, black and white, innocence or... guilty.

''Matt and Magilou looked at each other nervously. If there was one unexpected thing happened, the two would subdue her. However, it was apparent that there were other black magic curses that was on Mary, given by the blade.''
 * Mary.Spencer.full.1839564.jpgMary: The people of this world need rulers like me. Esther was too weak to become a queen, and I will try hard to see what needs to be done. I have the courage to do it.

''What made things worse, Matt and Magilou had to take Mary back unhurt, or they would be blamed by Esther no matter what. However, Matt was apparently furious when he heard Mary calling Esther a weak queen, but he held it back.'' Hearing Mary Spencer's words, Matt and Magilou both reacted in an alarmed state. Furious, ​Mary Spencer immediately interrupted the words of Magilou. ''Magilou sighed in sadness. She shook her head and bit her lips. Her cheerful and bubbly personality faded away when she thought about her time during her own service in the KnightWalker Family.'' ''Mary swiftly shook her head. Magilou sensed the evil curse within her became stronger and stronger.''
 * Mary: You have it within you, Matt and Magilou, to be those rulers.
 * Uryuu.Ryuunosuke.full.1017166.jpgMagilou: You want us to join you? You are planning a usurping coup against your own sister? You are no better than Eckidina KnightWalker!
 * Mary: Oh, don't be so high and mighty. You once worked with the KnightWalker Family  under that worthless Ryuunosuke Uryuu!
 * Magilou: AND EVERY DAY I WISH I HADN'T! I thought I didn't have a choice, but I did.
 * Magilou: I lost my freedom. I lost my mother. I never expected that there were so many people crying due to unjust codes. I'd give anything to take it all back.
 * Mary: I didn't say it was easy, Magilou. I said it was right! Day after day, the criminals thumbing their nose at the law, and the weak rulers never do anything to punch them in the day like this. Well, today, I draw a line in the sand. Only question is...

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Mary: Where do you stand?

''Matt and Magilou both looked at each other once again, and then, they both looked at Mary Spencer as if she was a pathetic fool. They both walked closer to Mary, even knowing she had raised her rifle at them and was fast enough to kill both of them. However, they still not afraid of her.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Matt & Magilou: Against you.

''Carl had just learned about the murder of Jane Joyce Jocelyn that was pinned on Mary Spencer, and he saw Esther crying in dismay beside him. Despite having his own troubles of trusting Esther due to her own trust to the current Pope, Carl felt somehow sorry for her.'' ''Tres then looked at Carl with no emotions in his eyes, as if he was mechanically modified and was already programmed to follow someone's order. Sforza shook her head and chuckled. Carl was surprised since he hardly saw this Duchess of Milan smile.'' '' Tres was made into a KnightWalker Cyborg? That was quite a shock to Carl, who looked at Tres Iqus. Tres still had no emotions on his face.'' ''Sforza then turned back into her serious face. What she tried to say was cut off by a ring on a telephone beside her. She immediately answer the telephone and would hear a female voice.'' ​Sforza was shocked when she heard the female voice from the other side of the phone. ''Then, there were no voice coming from Mary Spencer, who cut off the communication. Cardinal Sforza widened her eyes in shock.'' ''Sforza's words had shocked everyone in the room, even including Esther. Even someone like Tres was visibly surprised. Noelle stood out immediately with her eyes widened.'' Carl stood up as well, feeling shocked and enraged by Mary's incrimination. Just as Carl was about to finish, the cell phone of his rang, and Carl widened his eyes with shock. Then, in front of everyone's bewildered face, Carl immediately answered the phone. On the other side of the phone, it was the voice of Matt Butcher. Carl widened his eyes and bit his lips. Carl immediately hung the phone and bit his lips. Carl then sighed as he looked at Sforza, who looked down on the table. Carl was not quite understand. Sforza steadily stood up and closed her eyes. Carl then sighed before he suddenly widened his eyes. ​Abel immediately turned his attention to Carl, who looked at him with full of curiosity Abel crossed his arms and looked at the young man. Abel shook his head in disapproval. In a dark face, Abel then turned to Carl and walked closer to him, whispering. ​Carl was amazed when he heard Abel said all this, and he was also curious. ''Utterly confused by such a vast information, ​Carl lowed down his head and fell into thoughts. Then, he looked up and faced Abel.'' ''Esther sat there and bit her lips. Abel used a very deep voice and spoke those things to Carl, since he did not want Esther being broken by such a horrifying revelation. Esther never interfered their conversation, either.''
 * 34816.jpgCarl: I was just worrying about Esther and her sister... Just no matter how hard we tried, Sister Paula got away with the blade. I hope things will get better.
 * 13295.jpgTres: I hope that girl is a tough cookie. I hate to say this. Sometimes, however, you have to accept the truth.
 * Sforza: Tres, I can't expect that you know how to share concern on others, but that is still not passionate enough. I am sorry that you were captured by Eckidina who made you into a Cyborg, but fortunately, you are far from a killing machine. It was good to save you from the service of King Hamdo.
 * Tres: I am still a machine, but I am your own machine, Cardinal Sforza.
 * Sforza: Hmm...
 * Sforza: Hello?
 * MarySpencer27.jpgMary Spencer: *phone* [Cardinal Sforza, please come quickly with the Patriarch. Matt Butcher and Magilou had killed an innocent people on their sight, and they were responsible for the death of Jane Judith Jocelyn. So now I am apprehending them. I will get them as soon as possible.]
 * 12487.jpgSforza: Matt and Magilou killed Jane Judith Jocelyn?
 * Noelle: Cardinal Sforza, I can vouch for my brother! He can never do such a thing! He was with us all along during Fiamma of the Right's attack!
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.1445564.jpgCarl: I can prove Matt's innocence as well. He hates crimes, but he would not kill a criminal if he never know them. Matt had no interactions to Jane Jocelyn and never knew about her crimes at all!
 * Carl: Excuse me.
 * Carl: Hello?
 * Matt: (phone) [Carl, we found the culprit. It was Mary Spencer. The Byzantine Parang had took control over her, and you must send someone to come here as quick as possible. She tries to kill us both.]
 * Carl: Uh... No way! Don't worry, buddy. Maria was on her way, and I guess it won't last long before you are saved. Thank you.
 * Carl: Matt is in danger. Fortunately, thanks to the help from Princess Villian, she had gained the Chain Viper back. Now, I assume she was on her way to save those two guys.
 * Sforza: It seems that I have to take actions if anything happens. I know how that Byzantine Parang works, and I know its weakness. I guess I can nullify its effects with my own blood.
 * Carl: Your blood?
 * Sforza: After all, I am someone who is about to die. I need to die for saving all of us before the things went out of control.
 * Reckless.Fist.(Raven).full.1728658.jpgCarl: Wait a minute, may I ask Mr. Abel a question?
 * Abel: Yes?
 * Carl: I still have something about that Aleister... or Cain... that made me confused.
 * Abel: What is it?
 * Carl: If your brother was rendered to be a mortal by Michael, then does that mean he would be killed like a normal man?
 * Abel: Not really, he might feel the pain inflicted on him and would be wounded, but once his body was destroyed in a fatal way, like you cut off his head... The dark spirit of Cain would be released and caused the mayhem across the Vatican. My brother has the power to destroy the entire Vatican. If he gets released from his human bones, he would be freed and do whatever he wants.
 * Abel: The most terrifying thing is this: Michael fully knows what will happen if he had "Alesiter" executed. After all my brother's vessel, the body of real Aleister, is nothing but a dispensable pawn for both Michael and Cain.
 * Abel: After seemly killing "Alesiter" if he really does, Michael would release Cain's true power even if he had himself killed.
 * Carl: How do you know that?
 * Tb24-chibi-abel2-frame.jpgAbel: While working in the AX, I used my phychic power to see Michael's mind. He not even values his own life if he can have the world turned into a living hell on Earth.
 * Carl: I see. Thanks for the explanation.

''Carl nodded and then looked at Esther. He felt sorry for her, but he thought Mary Spencer had to be utterly punished for her crimes. Even so, Carl felt guilty that he had such a feelings. After all, Mary Spencer never acted on her free will.'' ''Esther suddenly called the name of Carl, and Carl widened his eyes and looked at her. Esther stopped crying, but her sad expression remained.'' ''Carl was a bit of distressed and hesitated when he heard this. Carl had now considered Mary as a traitor since she killed someone that the Rebels never permitted her to kill. She also framed his best friend, Matt, for murder. Therefore, Carl deemed her deeds to be utterly unforgivable whatsoever.''
 * Esther: Carl?
 * Esther: If you go to help my sister from the curse, can you promise me that you will make her survive the ordeal?

However, Carl felt pity for Esther, and he did not know what to answer. ''Esther was furious when she heard Carl saying such words. She was so furious that she immediately reached towards Carl and slapped him in the face.'' Looking at the young girl with a sad sigh, Carl swiftly stood up. Then, Carl walked out of the room with the following words, making everyone else surprised and fell into thoughts.
 * Carl: Esther, I will see what I can do, but I can't make a promise that your sister will definitely survive the ordeal. I will do my best, but if she is gone too far, she needs to be punished.
 * Esther: Why?
 * Reckless.Fist.(Raven).full.1632106.jpgEsther: Carl Robinson! You broke the good impression given to my beloved Pope Michael, someone who saved me from that wicked living hell and helped me when I was in need! I was tolerating enough to but your pack of lies! Now, you said you cannot keep my sister alive and will punish her! What kind of amoral man are you?
 * Carl: I don't know what I am, but I know what I can be.
 * Esther: She is my sister. Promise me. You will keep her alive.
 * Carl: I'm sorry to disappoint you, dear Esther.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Carl: After all, I cannot make a promise that I can hardly keep.


 * Esther: ......

Act 1 - Capture
<p style="text-align:center;"> Matt & Magilou's side <p style="text-align:center;"> Celestia Ludenberg's hideout 

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Matt & Magilou: Against you. '

''Matt and Magilou both looked at Mary Spencer with an undeniable expression full of fury. Lady Spencer's face soon turned greyish. Her face was shroudded by shadows and it turned more menacing.'' ​She swiftly lifted her rifle and pointed it at Matt. ''Suddenly, there was an angrily berating voice of a man coming from the outside, and it sounded both aggresive and anxious. A man dressed up like some mobster entered the room and angrily glared at the room, briefly catching the attention of Mary.'' ''It was taking one second before the man saw Celestia's bloodless corpse lying on the ground. Mary Spencer turned her gunpoint at the mobster and shot him, while Magilou immediately pushed Matt a bit. The two started to run out of the room without even thinking. When the mobster escaped, Mary Spencer turned back at the duo immediately before firing at them. Matt broke the glass window and leaped out, falling on the ground. Magilou leaped out from the broken window as well and fell on Matt.'' ''Magilou bit her lips and narrowed her eyes. She stood up and pulled Matt up desperately. Since the Matt's height easily towering her, pulling him is not an easy task to Magilou.'' In the room, Mary was shocked when she saw Matt and Magilou jumped out. ''Mary immediately walked towards the broken glass window, but Matt and Magilou had already escaped as fast as they could. Mary fired at them but her gunfire missed Magliou, who was pulled by Matt. Enraged, Mary turned back and tried to chase them.''
 * Mary: Well, I am so disappointed.
 * Mary: Goodbye, Matt and Magilou.
 * Mobster: Celestia! You owe me 1,000 bucks of debt! Now, get out and--
 * Matt: Magilou, why are we running away?
 * Magilou: You want a suicide?
 * Mary: NO!

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

''The camp of Trebol Army had became somewhat like an erupted volcano when rumors of Matt Butcher killing a potential witness had knocked its summit like an earthquake. Sister Kate desperately tried to made a contact to Matt, confused by what happened just now.'' ''When Sister Kate arrived into Campemento Trebol, she saw many Russian Resistance soldiers come and go, and she was confused. She suddely caught sight of Misha and immediately rushed towards her.'' Misha noticed Kate and immediately went closer to her, with her face pale. ''Kate heard this and was shocked and confused. She found it very hard to believe.'' ''Misha then left promptly, leaving Kate confused. Suddenly, Kate had heard the telephone on her table started to ring. She immediately went to answer it. She recognized the phone number, which belonged to Matt.''
 * Sister Kate: [Hmm?]
 * Sasha_Kreuzhev_Profile.jpgSister Kate: [Misha, hey, what is all this?]
 * Misha: Lady Spencer called in. Matt went mad, shot an unarmed suspect, abducted Magilou, and tried taking out Spencer, too.
 * Sister Kate: [No, no, no, no, that is not right!]
 * B20524c7cd06ca841fbbf36d04df1ea9.jpgMisha: Sister Kate, if I was you, I'd find your executive commander, have him come in quiet. Otherwise, he's going down.

''Desperatly, Kate answered it as soon as possible, and she whispered in a deep voice. No one noticed what she was doing since they are all very busy.'' ''Sister Kate was shocked and she almost shouted out. In order to keep others from hearing her, she tried hard to lower her voice and control her composure.'' ''Kate sighed helplessly, and she heard Matt's words in sheer desparation. It was apparent that he was either running from the gunfire or looking for a hideout.'' ''Then, the answer was suddenly stopped, and a gunfire was heard. Kate widened her eyes in horror when she heard the gunfire.''
 * Sister Kate: [Matt, hey, where are you? Half of the camp is looking for you!]
 * Matt: (phone) * Spencer killed Jane Judith Jocelyn, and she just murdered Celestia right in front of me and Magilou! *
 * Mary.Spencer.full.1839564.jpgSister Kate: [What? You were gone for, like, a hour?]
 * Matt: (phone) * She's infected with the curse of Byzantine Parang, and Sister Paula won the game. She's lost her mind and she tried to kill us both! *
 * Sister Kate: [Oh, Holy Mother of Saints...]
 * Matt: (phone) * I need your help, Sister. *
 * Sister Kate: [Okay, where are you?]
 * Matt: (phone) * The old foundry. *
 * Sister Kate: [Matt?]

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

''While he was phoning Sister Kate, Matt had ran as quick as possible while pulling Magilou, but Mary Spencer had almost reached him. She fired another shot at Matt, who quickly dodged it by running into the alley. However, the cell phone of Matt accidentally dropped.'' ''Mary missed the gunfire again. She walked closer to Matt before she noticed the cell phone on the ground and heard Kate calling in desperation.''
 * Sister Kate: (phone) [Matt? Matt?]

''In rage, Mary stepped on the cell phone and crushed it broken. The voice of Sister Kate then faded away. Mary then angrily went into the alley and tried to capture Matt and Magilou.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Wounded camp  <p style="text-align:center;"> Poison Ivy's office 



''Poison Ivy was cleaning her table inside her office, which were filled with green plants she collected and decorated her room. Just then, she heard the door opened. Sister Kate rushed in.'' Ivy was confused and she immediately turned back at Kate, who walked nearer to her. Ivy's face went pale and she looked at Kate, who stood in front of her with desperation.
 * Sister Kate: [Sorry, Ivy.]
 * Poison Ivy: Sister, what is going on? They say Matt had killed Celestia?
 * 303ByzantineParang.pngSister Kate: [It's a lie. It's Mary Spencer. It's Spencer! She's possessed by the demon inside that Eastern Roman parang!]

Sister Kate then paused after exclaiming the words in a desperate tone, and she turned into a much calmer tone, much to Ivy's bewilderment. Ivy shook her head a little bit in confusion. ''Kate looked at Poison Ivy with a look full of trust. Ivy rolled her eyes and she suddenly had an idea.''
 * Poison Ivy: Oh, my God... It must be Sister Paula who gave her the blade!
 * Sister Kate: [Yeah, and I figure we got like, ten minutes, before those trigger-happy kill-bots find Matt and take him out!]
 * Poison_Ivy_JL.pngPoison Ivy: Kate, you have to tell them!
 * Sister Kate: Come on, there is no way they will believe me...
 * Sister Kate: But they will believe the medical examiner.
 * Poison Ivy: W-what are you asking me to do?
 * Kate: I need you to trust Matt, because right now, you, Maria, Carl and I are all he has.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Poison Ivy: You can count on me. '

<p style="text-align:center;"> Old foundry  <p style="text-align:center;"> 2 minutes later 

''Matt and Magilou had escaped for quite a long time, and they found a abandoned workshop. The duo immediately rushed towards the door of the workshop. Matt tried to open it, but he found the door was locked.''
 * Matt: Oh, no...

''Matt then looked around. He found a iron crowbar beside the door. He smashed the door glass with the crowbar and unlock the door by letting his hand in. He then opened the door once again, allowing himself and Magilou to enter.'' ''While Matt was speaking, he locked the door again and hid beside the door. Magilou hid beside him. Matt leaned the wall and held a large brick on his hand. Outside of the door, Mary Spencer had rushed towards the workshop. She immediately tried to let her hand into the broken glass and unlock the door from inside, but Matt reacted immediately and hit her arm with the brick.'' ''Mary howled in agony. Matt and Magilou immediately seized the chance and rushed upstairs. Mary grunted in agony and opened the door.'' ''Yelling in pain, Mary immediately opened the lock and rushed into the opened door. Matt and Magilou went upstairs, and the footsteps were heard by Mary. Mary immediately went towards the upper stairs and tried hard to capture the two. Running into a room on the second floor, Matt and Magilou ran so hard that they were not aware that it was a dead end in front of them.'' ''Mary rushed into the room and yelled in agony. Matt and Magilou stopped and turned back. Magilou then found that they had no way to go before getting her magic card out.'' ''Mary just stood right in front of Magilou and Matt. Her eyes were glistening with sheer bloodlust and rage.''
 * Magilou: Why can't I use magic on her?
 * Matt: Your magic is too powerful. Like you said, if we killed Spencer, then we will no longer be friends with Esther! I need a strategy!
 * Mary: AARGH!
 * Mary: I was cornsidering to shoot both of you, but now I will slice you piece by piece!
 * Mary: STOP!
 * Magilou: Urgh...
 * Mary: End of the line. No more running.



<p style="text-align:center;"> - Maria:  ' ¡Un momento! (Hold it!) '



Maria's Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Spin-Off - Firenza Junior - Symphony of Madness



''After doing a treatment for a wounded soldier, Poison Ivy gasped and she immediately heard what Maria had said. Maria nodded and she spoke in a tone that was undeniable.'' ''​Maria then took a deep breath. She was determined to find Mary Spencer.'' ''Maria then turned abck to go. Poison Ivy immediately widened her eyes and soon she bit her lips. She immediately blocked the way of Maria.'' ''Hearing this, Maria bit her lips. She became much more distraught after hearing Poison Ivy's words.''
 * Poison Ivy: Wait! You want to find Mary Spencer by yourself?
 * Maria: Yes, Ivy, and I must go in case Matt and Magilou are in danger. Now, I heard they ARE in danger just now!
 * Maria: Don't worry about me. I am fine.
 * Poison Ivy: Wait a minute! You can't... you can't just leave! I trust in Matt and Magilou, and I believe they won't be in danger. If you leave here so recklessly, who will take care of your Corazon Army?

''However, Maria turned back to Poison Ivy with her face became determined once again. She was thinking about an old friend of hers... or a former friend of hers she felt deeply sorry for.'' Thinking of Mikan, Maria closed her eyes and tears streamed down her cheeks. Poison Ivy immediately went to comfort Maria. ​Vasilisa beside Ivy thought a bit and then she nodded as well.
 * Maria: Yes, Melancholia had a surprise attack just some time ago. It was lucky for us that she left without taking Carl... but if she returned back once again, things will get uglier.
 * 57974245_p2_master1200.jpgMaria: However, I must save my friends from the enemies! Years ago, I had a friend named Mikan Tsumiki, and now she was brainwashed and became one of the Ultimate Despair top members, a puppet of Junko Enoshima!
 * Maria: I was too weak... I should have protect her... but I joined Mafusa Gang for being coerced by my savage brothers... I cannot bear it anymore. I am no longer what I was, and I must do something. Therefore, don't try to stop me. Our arguing had wasted my precious times, even if it is a few seconds!
 * Poison Ivy: Alright, alright, I know you are now upset, and I feel sorry for your loss, but this task is not a simple child's play.
 * Vasilisa: Ivy is right. If you are going to do this, someone must be in charge on your behalf, given the fact that the Patriarch is not very well. Who will be that person?

Just then, to the surprise of everyone presented in the scene, Princess Villian raised her hand. ''Maria then turned to take a look at the young English princess who was mildly shorter than her. Maria then immediately widened her eyes.'' Villian lowed down her head with a sigh. While speaking her words, ​Villian clenched her fist before she almost immediately revealed something hidden in a bag beside her by opening it. ''Maria widened her eyes when she looked at the thing in the bag. It was a axe attached on a long chain, and a gun was attached on the axe as well.'' ''As Villian showed this to Maria, people around her were all shocked by all of this, just as shocked as Maria herself. Even Vento (who was still struggling with her injury) and Acqua were both stunned with awe.'' Vento tried to go closer to see clearer view, but suddenly she felt her chest was full of pain. Vento was so shocked by the pain and she stopped in a second before started to cough blood. Maria immediately went to Vento to check her own condition, and Ivy stood up as well. Vento sighed as she covered her bleeding mouth. Vento then looked at Maria when she blinked her eyes. Vento then took a look at the Chain Viper inside the hands of Villian. ''Maria took a closer look at the Chain Viper. It was never damaged and was intact as well. She sighed as she thought about the days when she busted the magic weapon from the Tower of London while under Eckidina's brainwashing.'' ''Villian shook her head with a sigh. Acqua went forward and looked at Maria with a serious look.'' ''With a face of surprise, Maria heard Acqua and looked at others, who all nodded at her. Maria wiped her tears and nodded.'' ''Maria immediately overcame her fear when she held the chain. She closed her eyes when she tried to touch the chain, as all of her bad memories returned back to her.  She was abused. She was burnt. She was disfigured. She was turned into a Cyborg. She got brainwashed by Eckidina. She almost killed Acqua. She killed many innocent people. However, soon those bad memories became puff smokes when Maria thought about her sacrifice. At least, she did not die as a monster at all.'' Maria's hand got closer to the chain. Closer... ''... until she finally grabbed the chain between her fingers. She opened her eyes and held the chain tightly in her hands.''
 * Villian: I do. I can temporarily be the Corazon for now when Maria is on her duty.
 * Maria: Are you really sure that you will act on my behalf, Princess? This task is very hard for anyone.
 * Villian: I know, but I won't be afraid anymore. I am weak and powerless, but during the coup raised by my elder sister, Carissa, I realized that I can make a difference if I keep myself on the side of compassion and kindness.
 * Villian: Therefore, Maria, if I fail you, I will wait for your own punishment! This shall be the proof of my loyalty!
 * Villian: You won't be a stranger to this thing, will you, Angel of Flame?
 * Maria: No, I won't...
 * 20110507143825-1048628122.jpgVento: The Chain Viper?
 * Vento: Ugh!
 * Maria: GODMOTHER!
 * 20110507143735-50749242.jpgPoison Ivy: I am sincerely sorry, Maria. I told Vento she should take a rest due to her own injuries... but she did not listen. She determined to see you...
 * Vento: No, that's nothing. I have endured harsh situations even worse than this, and I overcame all of this.
 * [[File:Kirigiri_kyouko_danganronpa_and_danganronpa_1_drawn_by_zawameki_sample-678ecf631bfa9c70ec15b90c7e22b96c.jpg|thumb|340px]]Vento: When Kyouko Kirigiri told me that you are dead, it was so heartbreaking that I was mad at her... but now I came to realize that I was wrong about her. I am glad that you came back. I am glad that I was freed from those brainwashing as well.
 * Vento: Maria, if you want to save someone you cared about, this will be what you need.
 * Maria: But I feel guilty using it... I used the Chain Viper when I was a Cyborg under Eckidina KnightWalker's control. Why did you brought such a miserable thing to me, Princess? I used it to slaughter innocent people... and attacked Acqua.
 * Acqua: Look, I know you are upset, but that was neither the fault of yours or the fault of this weapon's. It was Eckidina's fault. If you want to save your friends, then accept it, please.
 * Maria: Very well. I accept it.
 * Maria: (think) * I won't be afraid anymore. *
 * Maria: (think) * There are so many good people needs to be saved. *
 * Maria: (think) * I shall no longer be a coward who could only cry for her sad past. That Maria Arzonia had died and I need to be reborn! *



<p style="text-align:center;">' - Maria: It is time to face it! '

''Maria soon felt there was more strength being poured into her body, as if the Chain Viper had gained her more power. Vento slowly wiped the blood on her lips and smiled at Maria.'' With tears filled in her eyes once more, Maria then walked forward and kissed Vento's cheek. ''Maria then turned back and opened her wings. Under the amazement of everyone, she went to her destination as fast as possible.''
 * Vento: That is Maria I know! Now, go forth and help your friends!
 * Maria: I have so much want to tell you, my dear Godmother, but that's for another time. I must go now. They'll wonder where I am.

Nowadays
''The voice of Maria Arzonia suddenly bursted from the outside, and the sirens could be heard. Police and the Easter Chruch troops had arrived. Mary heard this and gloated in sheer malice.'' ''Matt and Magilou then both looked at Mary Spencer. Matt looked at his former friend calmly, but Magilou gulped and looked at Mary Spencer with an utterly intimitating face.'' ''Mary looked at Matt and sighed. She was still feeling pain inside her arm when Matt smashed her arm with that brick, but she seemed not bothered by it at all. In fact, her arm was still useful and could still lift her rifle without pain.'' ''Mary then narrowed her gaze and turned more menacing. She glared at Matt in anger.''
 * Mary: Ha, just in time, our Leader Corazon is here. In a few moments, your brothers in arms are gonna come up those stairs and find your dead bodies, and thet'll believe me when I tell them that Matt Butcher is a killer. It's a shame, really. We could've made a great team.
 * Matt: It doesn't have to be this way. You need help.
 * 12483.jpgMary: Are those really gonna be your final words?
 * Mary: Nothing to say to Erica aka Noelle Bor? She is your younger sister, after all.

''As the time passed, as the sirens keep closing in, as the situation was kept frozen, Matt could only hear his own heartbeat beside Mary's questions. He looked at her straight into her eyes.''

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Matt: Go to Hell. '

''Mary heard this and sneered. She felt she was deeply humiliated and tried to shoot at Matt, but suddenly, she heard a female voice shouting with thick Spanish accent.'' ''Mary immediately turned back and paused her murder attempt, and Matt and Magilou looked aside to the window with confusion, too. Maria's loud berating voice the continued.'' ''Confused, Lady Spencer immediately went to the door, seeing Maria standing outside and holding the Chain Viper in her hand and a microphone in another hand. Carl and Sister Kate were both beside her. Behind them, there were a large number of police.''
 * Maria: Lady Spencer!
 * IMG_7640.pngMaria: This is Code Name: Corazon! YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!
 * Maria: Throw down your weapon and come out with your hands up! We know you had the Byzantine Parang! We know you killed three rascals! We know you killed Jocelyn! We know you killed Celestia and other suspects in the East End! You're infected with a demonic curse!

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Maria: Ivy has proof on her corpse examining! You left your fingerprints on the dress of Jocelyn!'

''As Maria kept continuing while holding her microphone, Mary Spencer's face turned from sallow to pale and the to completely white due to horror, before turning red due to anger. Matt and Magilou looked at Maria with surprise in her eyes.'' ''Mary shook her head in anger when she saw Maria broadcasting outside the door. She became more and more incensed and shook her head again and again, due to sheer anger.'' ''Mary turned to Matt, who cannot believe this sudden twist. Mary then turned back at the window and berated at the police squad like a mad dog.''
 * Maria: Now, we don't want any bloodshed, My Lady! It's up to you!
 * Mary: No... Arzonia and Ivy! They lied for you!

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Mary: They turn the whole Russian Church against me!

''Matt suddenly seized the chance when Mary turned back to the window again, and he immediately rushed and pushed Mary on the wall, causing an accidentall fire. The bullet hit itself on the ceiling and caused sparkles. Magilou was appalled by this reckless move.''
 * Magilou: Matt, wait!

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

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

''Through the window, Carl who was also downstairs had saw Matt pushing Mary aside. He immediately held a sword in his hand and focused himself.'' ''Narrowed his eyes and gained his confidence, Carl immediately led a group of police officers and rushed towards the workshop. Behind them, there was an entire squad of Eastern Church members and several police.''
 * Carl: We're going in! Come on, now! Go!
 * Carl: Hurry up!

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

''Matt and Mary immediately fought together in a struggle of fight, and Matt was fighting with bare fist. Magilou saw this and tried to use her magic, but she remembered what Matt had told her.'' ''Suddenly, Matt yelled when he was hurled by Mary on the ground, and the latter kicked his blade away. Magilou widened her eyes in sheer shock when she saw a malevolent shadow of purple void was coming from the body of Mary Spencer.'' ''Matt seized the chance and tried to grabbed his long blade. Mary immediately raised her knife, pointing it at Matt, but Magilou went to the back of her, yelling in rage.'' ''Mary's attention was briefly caught when she heard the voice of Magilou. She turned back and saw Magilou looking at her with rage.'' ''Magilou narrowed her eyes and prepared for her magic card, but she did not use her magic at Mary Spencer. Magilou looked at Mary, who looked at Magilou back with rage. The two just stood there snarling at each other, and it gave Matt a chance to clinged towards his blade, the blade known as the Blade of Karma.  Magilou did not do anything. She simply stood at her position, looking at Mary Spencer. Mary Spencer shrugged her shoulder a bit and sighed.'' ''Magilou shook her head. She had been looking at the scene for too long. She felt if she hadn't do something, both she and Matt will eventually die in here, among many others.'' ''Mary walked closer and closer to Magilou, pointing her blade at the socerer. Magilou suddenly noticed there were some kind of black aura on her wrist. She realized that the demon in the Byzantine Parang was taking over its curent host.'' Mary stopped closing in when she heard Magilou's words. Magilou immediately interrupted the words. ''An old flashing white light bulb kept flashing in the workshop, and Mary Spencer was right beside the light. When it flashed again and again, the face of Mary Spencer seemed more and more terrifying, especially when combined with her menacing face.''
 * Magilou: Tsk... but I can't leave him here...
 * Magilou: Stop!
 * Magilou: By the demand of Executive Diamante, you're under arrest. Drop the knife.
 * Tumblr_og9cahNU5Q1vfda9wo1_500.jpgMagilou: Don't make me do this.
 * Mary: I'm not making you do anything. Stand down, Magilou. Let me go.
 * Mary: If the Arzonia Family members want to hunt me, fine, but you... let me go.
 * Magilou: I won't do that.
 * Mary: You would condemn this planet... when I would save it.
 * Magilou: You've got it all wrong.
 * Raven.(Elsword).full.1160702.jpgMary: You four executives are all as same as I am, even for Carl and Matt. I just have the courage to admit it.
 * Magilou: No... and I'l decide who I am.

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

''Mary Spencer let out a bellow as if she would kill Magilou immediately if Magilou refused. However, Magilou was stoic and serious to a point that she never had it before.''
 * Magilou: No,

''Meantime, Matt, who was crawling on the ground, held the Blade of Karma on the ground, but he felt too painful to stand up. After that, Matt heard Magilou said "no". He struggled himself to roll back, and then he watched the scene of confontation.''

Mary Spencer reached her breaking point.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Mary: THEN IT IS YOU WHO SHOULD DIE! '

''The Byzantine Parange suddenly released a certain amount of black liquid, which covered Mary's fist with it. Matt and Magilou opened their mouth with total shock, and Mary immediately raised her blade and attacked Magilou. Magilou closed her eyes and fired an energy sphere. A boom occured while Matt yelled.''
 * Matt: STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!

''The noises had caught the attention of Arzonia Family members and the Eastern Christians. They quickly reacted to this and rushed to the source of the sound.''
 * Maria: This way!

''Led by Maria and Carl, the hunting party immediately stormed into the room and found Mary Spencer lying on the ground, while still breathing. Her blade had somehown attacched on her wrist and merged itself with her body.''

''Maria and Carl immediately went to Matt and helped him to get up. Magilou put her magic card back to her pocket and walked towards the other three executives.''
 * Maria: Magilou, Matt, are you okay?

''Magilou took a look at the unconcious Lady Spencer, and she took a breath of relief. She giggled like a small happy child who never feel any pain.'' Magilou and Matt looked at each other and smile.
 * Magilou: Yeah, we're okay.

Act 2 - Calm Between the Storm
<p style="text-align:center;"> 1 day later  <p style="text-align:center;"> Russian Resistance Base  <p style="text-align:center;"> Campamento Trebol  <p style="text-align:center;"> Matt's Office 

''After the capture of Mary Spencer and the recovering of the Byzantine Parag, The condition of Patriarch Krans had becoming more and more positive. He could now attend meetings once again, albeit with his injured eye covered in a bandage.''

''No one dared to imagine what kind of gruesome thing hid beneath his eyes. However, the Patriarch simply closed his eyes and maintained his calm. Seemly, he was well.''

While Patriarch Krans and Maria was leading a group of rebel soldiers from Corazon Army towards a prison with a captured Mary Spencer, someone looked at them through the window of Trebol Army Department. ''Esther looked through the window with tears in her eyes. She saw Mary's face. The remorseless face of Lady Spencer was as stoic as a stone, and it was so obvious that she was yet to snap out of her curse. It made Esther sad and angered'' ''Dressed in a white coat with a patter of black clover, Matt Butcher sat on a chair and shook his head. He had just recovered from his shock, and he covered his face with his palm.'' ''Thinking of Paula, Matt then touched his right cheek. That scar was still there, and he could still feel the pain when he touched it. It was Paula's work.''
 * Esther: My sister...
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.1574882.jpgEsther: I will never believe in Sister Paula ever again. She ruined my sister.
 * Matt: (think) * She blames Paula, yes, but still she never blamed Michael... *

''Matt looked at Esther with curiousity, and he knew how Esther feel. She was keep denying the fact that Michael was the mastermind, because Michael was like a father to her, who, as she claimed, had raised her and her sister from a state like pits of hell.''
 * Matt: I am sorry, Esther. We are now hunting Sister Paula, in order to prevent her from breaking your sister out of prison. We tried hard keeping ourselves from killing her, and we need to keep her inside prison so that we will find a way to cure her.



''Esther lowed down her head and looked at the ground with distress. She felt her head was going to explode in any minute.'' ''Matt had no idea what to say next, so he just stood up and patted Esther's shoulder. Esther looked up and turned her head back, looking at Matt.'' ​Just as Matt was comforting Esther, a female voice had joined in. ''Then, Matt turned his head and saw a woman with blond hair and black coat. A part of hairs in front of her forehead was dyed into red. She looked at Matt with a calm and serious face, and Matt and Esther both seemed to fall into bewilderment.'' ''The woman looked at Matt and spoke out, just at the time Matt recognized who she was. She was not a stranger to him.''
 * Esther: I can't imagine it... I can't believe it.
 * Matt: We will try hard to dig it out.
 * Astharoshe_Asran,_anime_normal_Trinity_Blood_11-022.jpg???: Sorry to bother you all.
 * ???: Well? How do I look?
 * 57849711_p0.pngMatt: Perfect, this disguise is a perfect piece of art... Princess Villian.

In fact, it was Princess Villian who stood in front of her, with a illusory disguise designed by Magilou's magic which made her look like another woman. Esther immediately stood up and went closer to her close friend in front of her, looking at her with some surprise. The eyes of Villian was now full of sharpened and serious expressions, and she behaved like a total different person like before. Esther widened her eyes with a sweat drop on her head which fell on the ground.
 * Esther: That... that is Villian?
 * Villian: Esther, this is me. I am now inside an illusory disguise, in order to keep myself away from my elder sister for now.
 * Matt: Now, I have make a fake identity to her, which is Duchess Astharoshe Asran.
 * Esther: How in the world did you come up with such a long name?

''Esther then heard another trail of footstep. She saw Noelle walking into the door and looking at everyone with a gloomy expression. Sister Kate was following behind her.''
 * Noelle: Well, that is originated from an old Ukrainian family name with a given name sounds like... something Ukranian.
 * Sister Kate: Even so, one problem existed. Villian does not know how to speak Ukrainian, but still it could be justified by the "fact" that the family had fell from grace and moved to England, and so its descendant had forgot how to speak to fluent Ukranian...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Sister Kate: [But most importantly, she is impersonating another ally of ours, and the real Duchess Asran permitted us to do so... despite it was a hardship.] '

Matt looked at the two nuns while sweating and opened his mouth in a shape of a line. Matt then yawned and he shrugged his shoulders. Noelle immediately showed her ID card to her brother. ''Matt then sighed in relief before he looked at his sister with a smile. He swiftly stood up and then he sighed before he walked out of the room.'' ''Everyone watched as Matt walked out. Sister Kate then took a look at Noelle with some doubtful face.'' Noelle turned her head and looked at Kate with curiousity.
 * Matt: (think) * What a hell of some sort of stupid justification... *
 * Matt: Now, is her fake identity card ready?
 * Noelle: Well, we are using my card as a format to make Villian's fake ID card, but I think it will be done by sundown.
 * 12380.jpgNoelle: I hope one day I can make one for you, Matt.
 * Matt: Now, if you excuse me, I will go out and have a walk. It's been a busy day.
 * Sister Kate: Sister Noelle, I guess it is not a good idea to make a fake ID card for your brother?
 * Noelle: Hmm?

''Sitting in her office, Melancholia chuckled in sheer malevolence. She was looking at Sister Paula with a malevolent grin.'' ''Sister Paula did not have any expression. She only frowned her own eyebrows and tightly bit her lips. Her eyes was as narrow as straight lines.'' Melancholia slowly stood up from her chair, and her smile disappared. ''Sister Paula sighed in helpnessness. Now, she had covered her right eye with her hair somehow, maybe out of carelessness. She looked at the woman with long white hair, trying to figure out what exactly she was planning upon the man known as Firenza Junior.'' ''Paula's word made Melancholia fell into thoughts. The white-haired woman stretched her long arms, relaxing herself and yawned casually as if nothing matters to her at all.'' Paula nodded with calmness. ''Melancholia simply sat on her seat still, as stoic as a rock. She smiled in relief.''
 * Melancholia: You did a good job, Sister Paula. The success of his task is wholly because of you.
 * 12514.jpgPaula: Are you really sure that Firenza Junior will do what you manipulate him to do?
 * Melancholia: It all depends on him, even if it could be illogical.
 * Carissa_Profile_2.pngPaula: Carissa had persuaded some lower class of Iscariot Section XIII to join her action against those Russian Resistance. She claimed she would bury them in just three days for real.
 * Melancholia: She is too reckless and anxious.
 * [[File:Jeanne_alter_and_ruler_fate_grand_order_and_fate_series_drawn_by_gods_1073337800_sample-3ebf19ce6fa870fb5bb5195686a8f2db.jpg|thumb|340px]]Paula: Fortunately, I have persuaded her that she will wait when Mary Spencer is busted out of the Prison of Kiev. Now, Maria and the Patriarch had captured her. We have to do fast.
 * Melancholia: Well, some of those orphans that I have take care of are urging me to send them onto battlefield, but it is such a rash decision. If Francesco Di Medici is here, maybe he will try so hard to against my idea.

''Melancholia bit her lips with a gloating smile when she thought about Cardinal Medici. Due to the mistake of letting Carl to get away, Michael had put Medici into the solitary cell and stripped all of his titles. Medici's freedom and title would not be restored until 3 months later.'' Melancholia then sharpened her eyes when she just looked at Paula with a serious expression.
 * Melancholia: That old man must be hating me, but it is not my fault after all.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Melancholia: However, I will put my trust in you. You are in charge of rescue Mary Spencer. '

''Paula was mildly surprised by the words. Due to sudden shock, she immediately wide opened her eyes, making them like round cherries, and she gasped the air out of surprise. She soon recovered her composure, however.''

''Melancholia calmly swayed her head in dissaproval. She turned to look at Brother Petros Orsini, who was looking at the two with an expression as cold and hard as a stone.'' ''Looking at the two inquisitors with her own eyes of devilish evilness, Melancholia then sighed and narrowed her eyes in sheer seriousness. She then turned her tone from a calm one to a menacing one.''
 * Paula: You mean I need to do this alone?
 * 12519.jpgMelancholia: I won't send you there alone. I will make Brother Petros there to help you, and you will send a signal and make Carissa to see after breaking Lady Spencer out.
 * Melancholia: This action needs great care, and you must do it carefully. After breaking Spencer out, you two are free to kill.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Melancholia: In addition to that, bring the head of Patriarch to me. '

As the current head of the Neo Inquisition, Mother Superior Melancholia's words are the order with one of the utmost powers in the entire Church towards the inquisition, and Paula realized what will happen if they failed the order.

However, Paula was driven by a thirst of killing, so much that she was anxious to slay the Patriarch or at least watch him die. ''Paula then swiftly left the room, followed by Petros. Melancholia watched as they left and grinned.''
 * Paula: Patriarch Krans dies today, and the entire Christian Chruch will be one once again after this war is over.
 * Melancholia: Human beings are always that simple-minded, aren't they?

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

''Chained inside her chamber and trying hard to struggle against the chains, Lady Mary Spencer was held prisoner. Maria Arzonia's magic power was rendering Lady Spencer powerless, even with the blade was attached tightly upon her wrist. The magic prevented the blade from corrupting her sanity even further. Lady Spencer had made her teeth in a cracking voice, which was hinting her rage.''
 * Mary Spencer: Happy now, Corazón? You are a hyporcrite. You doomed this world. Had you spared me from your arrest, I would easily go free and tear the KnightWalker Family from its root! You killed psychopaths and those criminals, right? We shares the same goal. The war consumed my friends, my family, and those cared about me... You can't see the truth. You are the queen of fools.

''Maria was standing right in front of her with an utterly serious face. She looked at the chained Lady Spencer and crossed her arm, clenching her hand on her sleeves.'' ''Maria then looked at the face of Mary Spencer with her face shrouded in shadows. Her tones seemed sharpened all of a sudden.'' ''​Although making Magilou as the Top Executive Diamante, meaning "Diamond" in Spanish, Maria was yet to find a proper army for her. She was now gathering rouge magicians hiding around the world, plus contacting the Witch Cult members Magilou referred to seal their partnership. The Catholic Rebels needs development, and all those recent events happening in the capital of Ukraine stalled Maria's plan of expansion.''
 * Maria: Lady Spencer, we are probably having the same story, but our motives are different. You killed Jocelyn, and indeed she deserves her fate. However, why did you kill Celestia when we can have a chance to apprehend her and ask more informations? We could've capture her very easily since she holds some informations connected to mafias.
 * Maria: You are now like this, My Lady, holding an accursed blade and became nothing diffrent to those wicked monsters from the army of KnightWalker Alliance. It is just the time for Diamante Army to conceive, and your actions only adds salt on our wounds. I want the your true self of yours, the one who cared her sister when she cried for the misery.

''Maria sighed when she thought about Lady Spencer comforting her sister when Esther was crying in despair. She never had a sister by blood, and she never had any real brother who would shelter her and protect her.'' ''Mary Spencer remained silent all the while Maria looked at her. Maria could not help herself from feeling the utmost sympathy to Lady Spencer, but she cannot make the curse consume her.'' Walking in the room step by step, ​Maria hated to think about this, but soon she had the impulse to say it so that she could feel better. ''Mary Spencer then snarled at Maria with her eyes narrowed. Much to Maria's surprise, Lady Spencer still had no attempt to understand her error.'' ''Maria then sharpened her eyes and stopped wandering. She was turning more and more serious.''
 * Maria: You reminded me of myself, My Lady... if I have lost control.
 * QWASDEE233633.png: Don't talk as if you and I are the same. You just don't know what pain is.
 * Maria: Of coruse I do. You and I suppose to have the same fate, but I kind of envy you since you are in a bit better condition. You and I are both born as illegimitate children, but to some extent, you are much happier than me. Your mother is a concubine of the former king, while my mother is the lover... of a man without fidelity.
 * Maria: You have your half-sister as a family, while I don't have any siblings by blood. My so-called brothers are beasts. You have many things I don't have, and I never complained about it, never wanting to gain myself greater power if the road to success jeopardize others.
 * Mary Spencer: You are trying to justify the actions of stopping me?
 * Maria: No, not really. I just want to know how you accept this accursed blade. You know Sister Paula is far a saint, don't you, My Lady?

''Lady Spencer then shook her head. She was relieved and a calm smile appeared on her face. Maria, however, did not let her guard down.'' ''Lady Spencer then looked at Maria with a cold and vacant eyes, as if there was something that took over her soul. She spoke something that eventually made Maria shocked.''
 * QRST19498212017.png: Therefore, why are you doing all of this? What drives your plan of deposing your sister? I think it is far more complex from the knife... which you claimed that it tells you your true path.
 * Mary Spencer: You lectured me so much only for this question?
 * Mary Spencer: It was not simply because of the magical blade. The blade itself showed me an illusion, hinting the truth behind my mother's death... and Pope Michael proved those to me after Esther's coronation with his vision.

Lady Spencer's Illusions
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Spin-Off - Firenza Junior - The Start

''Suddenly, Mary felt an invisible power had dragged her into a place far away. It was feel like being dragged for 3,000 kilometers in almost ten seconds... and then, she opened her eyes.''

Her eyes were now filled with fear and surprise.
 * Mary Spencer: Where am... I?

''She found herself inside a white place, and no one was beside her. Mary was terrified, so terrified that her body started shaking.''



Then, Mary crossed her arms and crouched herself on the ground, trembling in sheer coldness coming from her spines. ''An old, frail female voice had came from somewhere not far away from Mary. Standing up and turne around, Mary reacted at this and then she immediately went towards the place, where she found a frail old woman lying on the ground.'' ''Mary was surprised and so she walked closer to the woman, and she was surprised to find that it was her birth mother. The old woman tried to touch Mary's cheek with her hand, but she was too weak to do so.'' Mary immediately went forward and went closer to the dying old lady, and the old woman looked at Mary as a large drop of tear flowed down her cheek. Mary could not believe what was happening in front of her eyes. ​Mary's mother spoke something that was nearly as whispering.
 * ???: Mary? Mary?
 * ???: Mary Spencer, my dear... Please come here. Please. I beg you.
 * Mary Spencer: Mother?
 * Mary Spencer: Mother? Is that you?
 * Mary's mother: It was good to see you again, my dear daughter, even after my death...
 * Mary Spencer: What do you mean? W-why are you here?
 * Mary's mother: You should have know why I was dying in here. The late queen herself poisoned me so that she would take over me. In fact, it was I who would become the wife of your father, and therefore you should be the new Queen of Spain. However, that devious harpy had torn us apart. She is dead now, and it serves her right.

​Hardly believing the news, Mary's eyes widened in shock and then, as she looked up unknowingly (as if some sort of invisible force drove her to do so), she saw an illusion with her wearing the robes and the crown of Spain, becoming the queen of the nation.

''Mary's mother then continued to speak as Mary looked at her own illusion. As she was speaking, the frail old lady was turning blackened and terrifying-looking.'' ​Then, the old woman looked at the knife which Mary was still holding. ''Clenching her fist, Mary Spencer shivered in a mixed emotions full of anger, pain and sorrow. She knew that she and her sister were good friends as well as family by blood, and she found it unbelievable to kill Esther for what the deceased queen had done to her mother.'' ''At this time, Mary was still unknowingly holding the knife which Michael gave her right in her hand. Just then, the knife itself melted into a mass of black slime and covered the wrist of Mary.''
 * Mary's mother: Therefore, you are the true rightful heir of your father. The pope should coronate you instead of your sister.
 * The_Old_Witch.jpgMary's mother: Now, use the knife the pope himself presented to you, and slay your sister that man-eating harpy had gave birth. Reclaim your own throne from her, and expose the whole truth.
 * Mary: What if I say "no"?

Feeling the scorching pain, Mary then saw what happened on her hand, and she tried to got rid of the knife, but the knife itself won't do so.
 * Mary's mother: DO THIS OR YOU ARE NOT MY DAUGHTER---AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

''Then, the face of Mary's mother had a horrendous twist until it was absolutely deformed into a hideous face of a hag with a gruesome grinning. She opened her mouth and it was filled with sharpened teeth. Mary was so terrified but she could not move at all.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Mary: YOU ARE NOT MY MOTHER!

Then, without any response, the hag clawed herself upon Mary all of a sudden, striking her nails inside Mary as the latter went ranting in sheer horror...
 * Mary: HELP! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Reality
''Maria was alerted when she heard the words of Lady Spencer. She immediately reacted by walking in front of her and with a shocked expression on her face.'' ''Mary Spencer's eyes now looked straight into the eyes of Maria. The atomosphere became more and more intense and frightening.'' ''Maria was shocked even more, since she never have imagined this could happen. Lady Spencer then looked at Maria with a menacing look.'' ''Maria looked at Lady Spencer silently, and she read her past memory at once. She found an apalling thing. Just after the conronation of Esther, Michael summoned Lady Spencer into his chamber and revealed his vision into the past to her. After looking at the vision, Maria was startled. She did not sense lie inside the vision.''
 * 29813.jpgMaria: Your mother's death? The Pope proved it? It can't be...
 * Mary Spencer: You should have know that I am supposed to be the real queen of Spain, the country you were born. My mother is not just a concubine. She is the real queen, but Esther's mother had poisoned her to make herself a queen.
 * Mary Spencer: If you don't believe me that the Pope proved it to me, if you think he only made an illusion instead of the vision from past, why don't you read my memories?

''Therefore, Michael told Lady Spencer the truth. The question was, what was his true purpose? Maria saw some malice inside this dreadful revalation.'' ''Lady Spencer shook her head in dismay, and she bit her lips till the point of bleeding. Maria stood up and looked at Lady Spencer with a calm and serious face.'' ''Lady Spencer remained in silence. She did not look at Maria either. Maria sighed and turned back to the Eastern Russian Church members.'' ''Maria then turned to Lady Spencer and sighed helplessly. She looked at Mary Spencer. Despite latter was calmed and did not behave like someone who was insane, she was still under those delusions.'' ''Maria then turned back and walked away with some of the soldiers, leaving four guards at the cell door. Lady Spencer showed some mild surprise, and Maria sensed it when she was leaving.'' ''Maria left without saying more words. Lady Spencer lowed down her head and kept silence in shame.''
 * Maria: Was he noble to tell you this thing? It was apparent that he wanted you sisters to become enemies. He wanted to drive you to insanity.
 * Trinity.Blood.full.105382.jpgMaria: I know you trusted him, but had you know about what he did to many people including me, La Folia Rihavein and Katarina Couteau, you won't like him that much after all.
 * Maria: We need time to make her cool down.
 * Maria: Lady Spencer, no matter if you accept it or not, the only reason that I kept you alive even after your crimes of murdering a vital suspect without our permission, before trying to kill Matt and Magilou... was all because of your sister.
 * Maria: Think of it. Do you really want to make such an innoncent girl pay for what her mother did to your mother by dethroning her?

''Melancholia sat on the chair inside her office room, looking a her mirror inside her hand. It was the face of Michael Langdon who was in the mirror. She was now using a magic mirror to give Michael a call.'' ''Michael seemed surprised by this and then he looked down on the ground, apparently thinking something. Then, Michael smiled and gloated.''
 * Melancholia: So that is what I am planning, Your Holiness.
 * Melancholia: Your Holiness, by the way, I have now examined the blood substance of Firenza Junior. I have now comfirmed that it was the Blackness.
 * Michael: The Blackness? Very well... I heard you told me about all of the things connected it to it, about the Blackness, about Qliphoth... and about that woman. 

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Michael: Leohart's daughter.

Suddenly falling into silence, Michael's killer smile then suddenly faded away, and he just sighed when Melancholia asked him about this. ''Michael seemed nervous, as his pulse was pumping, and his eyes narrowed into a shape like two straight lines. He seemed utterly worried.'' ''Michael spoke the words very slowly and clearly, as if he wanted the one who hear him to listen carefully. Michael then closed his eyes and sighed.'' ''Hearing this, Melancholia was shocked. A few weeks ago, before she was about to capture Carl Robinson, she looked into his eyes and claimed she had saw some kind of darkness.'' ''Melancholia looked around and saw to people beside her. She seemed nervous and even afraid, so afraid that she kept breathing in horror.'' ''Michael's tone was calm, but it was also menacing and scary. It was apparrent that he was absolutely furious, but he never expressed it directly. It was very obvious that he was trying keep Melancholia from her disgrace of being scolded and punished.'' ​Melancholia answered in a weak voice when she thought about that event.
 * Melancholia: What is it, Your Holiness?
 * Michael: I am thinking... What else would have been contained in that curse when Moloch cursed Duke Firenza... and his later newborn child?
 * Michael: [Tell me, Melancholia, when you looked at the eyes of Carl, what kind of darkness did you see? You seemed happy with it, and your smile is beautiful.]
 * Vol15alessandromanga.jpgMichael: [What made you send him away when you had the chance of capturing him? Answer me... now.]
 * Melancholia: Your Holiness, this is not really a convenient place to say.

Melancholia's Flashback

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Maria: She is here. '

All of a sudden, everyone heard a war cry when Maria finished her words, and then a shadow jumped out from the wheat like a leopard, but Maria immediately drew her blade and blocked it.
 * Maria: It is you... You are the second in command within Michael's army!

''The attacker was none other than Melancholia. Licking her lips, Melancholia aroused in sheer happiness when she saw Maria.''
 * Melancholia: Ha, look who I've got here! Maria Arzonia! I do not expected that you survived... or maybe not!

''Enraged, ​Maria took down her hood and revealed her true form, an angelic figure with silver armor that had golden stripes. She was wearing a little red hat. Her long blond hair was flowing in the air. Her eyes turned more menacing and wrathful.'' Melancholia licked her lips once again, with a smile full of sheer malice.
 * Melancholia: Finally showing your true form? Very well, very well.
 * Maria: Shut up! I am not like those trashes in your army which you once abused before! Today, you are going to pay for what you've done to my friends! YOU WILL DEFINITELY DIE, SINNER!!!
 * Melancholia: Then, I shall see if you do have that power to kill me! Come!

With her eyes turning white and her face became more menacing, Maria pushed Melancholia with her might and turned back to Carl before shouting out. ''​However, instead of retreating, Matt immediately bounced towards Melancholia and slashed her armor from behind. Melancholia was not harmed, but she was shocked by the attack.''
 * Maria: Carl! Matt! Noelle! Run, and I'll handle her!
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.1733562.jpgMelancholia: You little...

Enraged, Melancholia turned back as she was trying to take down Matt, but Matt was a skilled martial artist who then immediately dodged the attack.

Maria was shocked by Matt's interference as well, and she looked around as she saw numerous soldiers of Melancholia tried to surround them as well. Maria then turned back to Carl and yelled at him.
 * Maria: I told all of you to run away!
 * Matt: No, Maria, you must keep your strength. Please escort my sister and Carl to the Patriarch and we will find you all in Ukraine! I will handle this.
 * Maria: Come with me, then, Carl!

However, to Maria's surprise, Carl bit his lips before he lifted up his head as well.
 * Carl: No, since I am someone who is dead all along, at least I want to slay one of my most hated one with my own hands. I will be fine. If Matt is about to fight, then I have no reason to stay away.

''One second before, Carl was behave like a sheer pessimist, but now he was about to fight his enemies. With confusion, Maria's face went pale as she stared to clench her fist in anger and panic. Her body was shivering. She do not understand what was inside the mind of Carl, but she deeply worried about his situation.'' But then, she immediately put her hand on Carl with a calmer expression. Matt simply shrugged his shoulders as he swiftly dodging and blocking the attack of Melancholia. ''Carl did not answer. Maria turned to Noelle and put her hand on the latter's shoulder.'' ''Maria immediately hugged Noelle in her arms and flew up quickly. Just at this time, however, Noelle's mask slipped from her face all of a sudden and it dropped on the ground, unfortunately. Melancholia noticed this and she stopped her attack.''
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.1613243.jpgMaria: FOOLS!!!
 * Maria: But I admire this kind of fools. Be careful, you two.
 * Matt: Admit it, Carl! You are only jealous because of my will to fight which you lost!
 * Joan.Alter.full.1972511.jpgMaria: (whisper) * Come, Noelle. We have to hurry! *
 * Melancholia: What?

''Just as this time, Matt and Carl stopped attacking Melancholia and looked at the mask as well. The air itself suddenly frozen when Melancholia looked up... Carl knew that the situation worsened.'' ''Someone said that if something was vital, say it in three times. Now... Melancholia was looking at Noelle's face... Melancholia was looking at Noelle's face... Melancholia was looking at Noelle's face...''
 * Melancholia: Noelle Bor? That wicked woman who burst into my prison turns out to be NOELLE BOR!?

''And... as a result of that, she went mad...''

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

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

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

''However, to his surprise, Melancholia did not kill him. Instead, she stepped back and started turning into a thick puff of black smoke.'' ''Melancholia then disappeared and leaving Matt and Carl in their original position. All of a sudden, the entire squad of Holy Knights she brought vanished with her as well. Carl and Matt looked at each other with confusion.''
 * Melancholia: We will meet again.

Nowadays
After a brief recalling, Melancholia sighed before she gave her complete response. As Melancholia contined, ​Michael was curious when he heard the words "another entity." Hearing this, Michael then took a deep breathe. As the figure of the mysterious "demon lady" started to take form inside Michael's dark magic vision, Michael then closed his eyes before suddenly, his eyes wide opened and he suddenly figured out what the "thing" was. ''All of the sudden, Michael muttered out the words and ​Melancholia widened her eyes in surprise and curiousity. For the first time in her life, she saw Michael afraid. Therefore, it made her afraid.''
 * Melancholia: Your Holiness, I am sensing another mysterious entity inside Carl which combined with the Blackness.
 * Melancholia: It was apparent that Moloch gave something unique to Firenza Junior, which that demon lady cannot have unless she took it by brute force.
 * ToB_Feb102016_04-1024x576.pngMichael: Something that Moloch had... but that demon lady had not... Could it be...
 * Michael: I... I know what it is!
 * Melancholia: Oh?
 * Michael: It is...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Michael: Moloch's soul! '

Horrified, Melancholia then immediately gulped when she heard the words of Michael, which had caused her even more terrified.
 * Melancholia: Therefore, that Firenza Junior...
 * Michael: Yes...



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Michael: A part of Moloch lives inside Firenza Junior himself. ''



''​Horrified, Melancholia could never ever keep her calm anymore. Her greatest fear was now proven by the above words by Michael.'' ''Michael then shook his head. It was apparent that he was confused by all of this as well. He, however, still maintained his composure.'' With the help of his vision, Michael then slowly and clearly gave his explanation. Melancholia regained her composure as well, and she quickly deduced who Michael was referring to.
 * Melancholia: [Wait, wait, wait, there is too much informations...]
 * Melancholia: [But that was impossible, right? When Duke Firenza was accursed, Carl has yet to be born or even coceived as a fetus. How could Moloch's soul possessed him?]
 * Avenger.(Edmond.Dantès).full.1984675.jpgMichael: I am as confused as you are, but I think there is only one reliable explanation... If that is true, then it will be unexpected.
 * Michael: [When Moloch cursed Firenza Senior, a soul fragment of Moloch had unexpectedly relased and accidentally merged into another living person inside the house of Firenza, as "she" was arriving to help.]

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Melancholia: Firenza's wife? '

''Michael closed his eyes and smile. In his vision, he saw Duchess Firenza arriving to help her fallen husband, but a soul fragment of Moloch was accidentally released and went into Duchess Firenza.'' ​Melancholia though a bit after putting her hand on her chin, a tradmark gesture for anyone when they fell into thoughts.
 * Michael: [I once suspected that Carl is Moloch's son, but soon I disprove it myself after knowing what he did to Carissa in English Civil War as well as his friendship with that Matt Butcher.]
 * Melancholia: Indeed, he is Firenza's son. If he is Moloch's son, he is suppose to be fully demonic and have little to no humanity inside.

''​Michael then nodded with a cruel smile. He began to feel the things happening very interesting, but Melancholia turned more and more tensed.''
 * Michael: [Therefore, I deduce that when Duchess Firenza was pregnant with the child of her human husband, who is known to us as Firenza Junior...]

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Michael: [... the being which I called the Malice of Moloch had possessed her unborn child.] '

To Melancholia's surprise, Michael gave the name to the fragment of Moloch inside Carl's body. ''Michael nodded with calmness, and he pointed at his head. Melancholia realized what Michael meant. He was using his vision all the time in order to delve much deeper into the past secrets.'' ''​Hearing this, Melancholia was relieved. She was so horrified that she almost fell from her chair, but now she felt like singing. Melancholia then found the name interesting and decided to refer whatever is inside Carl with the name.'' Hearing this, Michael looked up at Melancholia once again when he snapped himself from his vision trip. Suddenly, Melancholia reacted in sheer horror. Due to her plan of overthrowing Moloch faced an imminent crisis, Melancholia muttered out her worst fear.
 * Melancholia: Malice of Moloch?
 * Michael: [That's what I name it. I just found out that the soul piece of Moloch was a weak one. For now, it is only representing the malice, wrath and hatred in the mind of the original Moloch. However, it had no its free will and could only gain its will when it is controlled or come into touch to who created it.]
 * [[File:Jeanne_alter_and_ruler_fate_grand_order_and_fate_series_drawn_by_minato_666_sample-9d8ac2b5fbf4a822b2ef95c4b877c3d1.jpg|thumb|300px]]Melancholia: You mean this Malice of Moloch itself have no awareness of itself, at least in this time which it was far away from his original self. However, I still cannot understand just one more thing.
 * Melancholia: If Moloch was destroyed by the Sword of Methuselah, as you said in the historical scrolls of the Agency 355, then how could his spirit fragment exist without either its original form or its free will?
 * Melancholia: Unless... he is still...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Melancholia: He is still alive!? '

Michael crossed his fingers and nodded.
 * Michael: Yes... and no.
 * Melancholia: Oh?

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Michael: It might prove that in our timeline, Moloch is arguably still alive, but was shattered into pieces and can never able to move or think on his own. However, the corrupting influence in those fragments still existed since Moloch is too powerful. ''

Michael then looked at the horrified face of Melancholia, and sighed helplessly.
 * Michael: [However, no need to be worried, my dear Melancholia. The Malice of Moloch is just a mere representation of the original Moloch's cruelty, but as long as it is still here, far away from its original form, it is in our control.]

''To Melancholia's surprise and relief, Michael then smiled and shrugged his shoulder as if nothing mattered to him. Melancholia then relaxed herself.'' ''Then, Melancholia smiled at the idea, and she dearly liked it. Her family died because of Moloch and she felt pity after knowing that he died by another man's hand. Melancholia then changed her mind. Instead of killing Moloch, she now desired to put a fragment of Moloch inside her control and twist the table.''
 * Michael: [Therefore, why should we be afraid? In fact, you can manipulate Carl via using the Malice of Moloch inside him, and eventually we can rule this world without bringing the real Moloch back. We have a fragment of Moloch in our control.]
 * Avenger.(Edmond.Dantès).full.2070572.jpgMelancholia: That's great, Your Holiness. I will turn him into my servant and I am his master. Then, I will spit on the original Moloch's grave, whether dead or alive, knowing or unknowing about my agency. If he is Moloch's son, I will call him Moloch Junior instead. Too bad he isn't.

''Michael nodded and smiled, but suddenly his face turned pale. His smile soon faded and his face turned more serious.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Michael: [Wait, I think someone is listening.] 

''Melancholia's face went pale as well and she fell into her own silence. The face Michael then disappered from the mirror.'' ''After Michael disappeared, Melancholia looked around. Narrowed her eyes, she found a Bluetooth detectaphone at the corner. She immediately ripped it of and looked at it with fury.''
 * Michael: [This coversation is over.]
 * Melancholia: (think) * There is a spy in my base. *

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> Sumireko's Room <p style="text-align:center;"> 40 meters away 

Sitting her chair with a pair of earplugs, Sumireko Hanabusa could not hear what was going on inside that room anymore. Ironically, Sumireko's icy blue eyes was fueled with fire of rage, and she immediately narrowed her eyes a little bit when she thought about the demon inside the body of Carl. Sumireko had heard about many myths of pegan gods and demonology, so she was no stranger to the name Moloch. ''Sumeriko tried to behave casual in order to hide her inner fragility, and she sighed helplessly with sheer sadness. She almost had her tears bursted out due to despair, but she held it back.'' Even after weeks, Sumeriko still remembered the day when the minions of Eckidina KnightWalker took her best friend from her.
 * Sumeriko: (think) * I had never expected that His Holiness was such a fiend! *
 * 0b46f21fbe096b63e03745880e338744ebf8ac3f.jpgSumireko: (think) * Even that kind and soft Mother Superior is with him? They are agents of... of Moloch? That is why they were trying to capture Firenza Junior so hard, only trying to take control of a demon king of theology? *
 * Sumireko: (think) * I cannot believe it... I just don't believe it... *
 * Sumeriko: (think) * All of this is a lie... a lie... They took away my dear friend Mahiru from me, and now I know what they are... *

Sumireko's Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> 2 months ago <p style="text-align:center;"> Underwater Base  <p style="text-align:center;"> Girls Domitory 

During the time while Michael was doing his plan with his true identity not been exposed, Sumireko had been preparing the afternoon tea as well as desserts, waiting for her best friend to come.

While preparing the afternoon tea, Sumireko was happily humming a tune, but when she heard the news, she was feeling upset. ''Sumireko suddenly heard a voice and looked up in surprise, and then she smiled. It was Mahiru Banba standing in front of her. Mahiru was wearing a purple kimono, and she arrived with a smile.'' ''Sumireko looked at Mahiru Banba, who lowered her head due to her shy personality. Even after 2 years, Mahiru was still very shy and cannot get close to many aside from Sumireko.'' ''Sumireko then pointed at the table filled with all kinds of dessert, like cakes and sandwiches, as well as two nice cup of tea. It was made into English style. Mahiru remembered that it was a special day, and she immediately had her eyes lit up.'' It was American Thanksgiving on that day, and so Sumireko prepared a breakfast for Mahiru, whom she considered as a family.
 * Radio: [The Arzonia Brothers are found dead, and they are murdered by someone alleged to be their sister, Maria. The police tried to capture her, but some hooded figure had attacked her. Maria Arzonia is alleged to be dead, and her attacker is still unknown yet.]
 * ???: Sumireko-san.
 * Sumireko: Morning, my friend.
 * Sumireko: Please take a seat. I have prepare cake and tea for you, in your favorite way. I did not find turkey, but I baked you a plate of apple pie.
 * 2e2eb9389b504fc283a9a8dde7dde71191ef6d77.jpgMahiru: Happy Thanksgiving.
 * Sumireko: Don't worry. I'll buy some after I had arrived back at land. We cannot have a dinner of Thanksgiving without turkey.
 * Mahiru: Sure it is.

''Mahiru sat on the chair and faced Sumireko, who had closed the radio. Sumireko also sat down and took a sip on her cup of tea. Mahiru then sighed.'' ''Sumireko sighed and she looked on the table. She bit her lips. She was upset as well. Hearing what Maria had suffered made her tormented.'' ​Mahiru swiftly had her sip of tea as well before she went on her talk. ''​Sumireko nodded her head. She only wants to share her family backstory to Mahiru Banba, the one she trusted the most. It was because she shared her compassion with Sumireko, which the other Langdon Orphans never shared to her.'' ''Sumireko then sighed and she held her cup tighter between her fingers. Her hands were shaking and some of tea inside it almost spilled out.'' ''Sumireko then bit her lips and she shook her head. She hated to think about that moment.'' ''Feeling nothing but sympathies and sadness, Mahiru put her cup back on her table and sighed in sadness. It was very rarely to see Sumireko so sad. She presented a smiling face for most of the time.'' ''Sumireko then smiled once again when she looked at her best friend. She was feeling more comforted. Her face was shining in bright light due to Mahiru's warm comforting. Whenever Sumireko was overwhelmed by the sadness of her loss of parents, Mahiru would always be there to comfort her.'' ''Sumireko did not continue, unable to find a proper word in her own vocabulary. She sighed in happniess and smiled again, but then, her smile became a litter bit sadder. She was then overwhelmed by a kind of fear, the fear of losing someone she cared about.'' ''Mahiru smiled and took another sip of tea. For them, it was just a simple day and no one will notice the little emotions they share.''
 * 0b55b319ebc4b7458d4cafcecdfc1e178b821509.jpgMahiru: By the way, did you heard the things concered with Maria Arzonia? Poor girl.
 * Sumireko: I heard everything about her, and I am sad to know that she is abused. I feel sorry for her, but it cannot bring her back to life. I do not know if she would be forgotten by all those general public.
 * 4Promo4.jpgu: Well, I can't imagine someone being so sophicicated and rich like you could feel sorry for someone struggled with domestic abuse and arsoning.
 * Sumireko: At first, I never know anything about those lower-class citizens since I was born from a rich and sophicicated family that once worked in a large company... Ansel & Dreyfuss Enterprises. However, when someone with greed and envy took power of the company, we were driven out due to supporting his co-founder. It all thanks to the Team Witness who managed to stop him 20 years ago.
 * Mahiru: Yeah, I know that feelings.
 * Sumireko: After the death of Dreyfuss, we thought we could be whole again, but then... the KnightWalker Family had arrived.
 * Sumireko: My mother almost had a miscarriage during their escape from Washington D.C., but fortunately at least she overcame it. Otherwise, I won't be born after all. However, I have no parents now...
 * 377adab44aed2e7327b0ed328101a18b87d6fa57.jpgMahiru: I don't know what make us suffer, but at least... we have each other as friends. Best friends.
 * Sumireko: Sorry, it is too embarrassing to make you see me cry. You are always that sweet and...
 * 8c1001e93901213ff54e550456e736d12e2e95ec.jpgSumireko: However, will you promise that you will stand by me?


 * Mahiru: Even if you don't ask, I will make this promise. However, things can get change. One day I die before you, you must try hard to live.
 * Sumireko: Please, what kind of foolish words are you saying?

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

Sumireko's smile suddenly disappeared when she heard an alert all of a sudden, and she looked up and saw the alert bell roaring like crazy. ''Before Sumireko and Mahiru could react, the door had opened and several soldiers busted into the door, or more precisely, they kicked the door opened with several troops. They had the logo of the KnightWalker Family on their shoulders.''
 * Sumireko: What the...

''Both Mahiru and Shinya were absolutely astonished when they saw two soldiers from the KnightWalker Family. They were so apalled that they immediately stood up from their chair... or leaped from their chair.'' ''Shocked in horror and rage, Sumireko could not believe what happened. She thought it was almost impossible for the KnightWalker Family troops went into the place.'' ''Before Sumireko tried to resist, one of the two soldiers of the KnightWalkers leaped towards her and punched her on the ground. Another one then held the gunpoint at Mahiru, whom he already tied up.'' Sumireko watched as Mahiru cried in terror and despair. ''Sumireko were bruised everywhere on her body, and she was trying to struggle on the ground. All of a sudden, in a blurry void of vision, she caught sight of a tall female figure with purple dress, long pale hair and golden eyes.'' Seeing her savior and only hope in the place made Sumireko have enough strength to struggle herself and clinged to Melancholia. ''However, much to her horror, Sumeriko saw the face of Melancholia became different from usual. Looking at the struggling orphan, Melancholia's face was as cold as ice, as if some part within her life had died.''
 * The_Order_Soldiers.jpgSumireko: The KnightWalker troops?
 * Sumireko: Get out or I'll---
 * KnightWalker Troop 1: Aleister Crowley's order. Bring this girl to the KnightWalker Family Sub Base in Tenguu City.
 * Mahiru: Hanubusa-chan! Help me! Save me!
 * Sumireko: Banba-chan!
 * IMG_2225.jpgSumireko: Mother Melancholia!
 * Sumireko: Please, save her...
 * Melancholia: Sumireko, I am sorry. This is not the party for you.

''Biting her lips till they were bleeding, Sumireko could do nothing but grunting. Her hope had shattered all of a sudden, much to her total shock.'' Sumireko was in total shock when she heard Melancholia said "we" when the latter looked at the two KnightWalker troops for a while. ''Melancholia had no intentions of answering. She only looked at Sumireko in a cold face like ice, before she let out an evil smile.'' ''Melancholia then snarled and grinned again. Shocked and greived, Sumireko suddenly felt something inside her chest began to break apart.'' ''Melancholia looked at the face of Sumireko... before her evil grin disappared. Instead, she began to feel somehow surprised when she stared at Sumireko's expression full of despair and horror.'' ''Melancholia then shook her head and hunched in front of Sumireko. She patted the head of Sumireko and helped the latter to get up.'' ''Melancholia smiled as Sumireko saw, but this time Sumireko did not feel warmth. She felt terrified and chilled.''
 * Melancholia: Don't worry. We are taking Mahiru Banba to somewhere else. We will send her back when situation needed.
 * Sumireko: "We"? What do you mean?
 * Melancholia: We will make her better. I know you are close to her, but you must not try to cut in the project. That is the only warning. When Bishop Langdon return, don't tell him anything about this, since this is not an assault. This is a proper action.
 * Sumireko: Mother...
 * Melancholia: (think) * Another familiar... *
 * Melancholia: This is just a prank, and those two guys are not real KnightWalkers... However, they did too much and I will fire them very soon. 
 * Melancholia: Sumireko will be back, and I am sorry for what it caused. Goodbye.

''Melancholia placed Sumireko on the chair and left with those two KnightWalker troops, taking Mahiru away. Sumireko only sat on her chair with a pair of dead eyes.'' ''Streams of tears began to stream down Sumireko's face. Minutes ago, they were happily talking, and now they had to seperated. Apparently, someone sold the base of the KnightWalkers and imposted Mother Melancholia... or at least Sumireko thought.''
 * [[File:Akuma_no_riddle-08-mahiru-assassin-holy_relic-wish-dream-split_personalities-scar.jpg|thumb|340px]]Mahiru: HELP! HELP! HELP ME!!!

''She began to call the name of her another benefactor... who was the true mastermind behind this invasion...''

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Sumireko: Bishop Langdon... Where are you? ...'

Nowadays
''Sumireko could hardly keep her cool anymore. From what she heard from Melancholia, Sumireko had drawn her own conclusion. And the conclusion she had drawn was that both Michael and Melancholia was dangerous.'' ''Sumireko shivered in horror and sadness. She did not know whom to trust anymore. She was with Langdon Orphans for more than 2 years, and Michael treated her as his daughter. She cannot forget that.''
 * Sumireko: (think) * Why did they ever save us from that pit of Hell. Do they really care about us? *

''However, she cannot forget the revalations of Michael's true nature, who ascended to the top of Catholic Church weeks ago, starting a horrid tyranny... and she cannot forget what Melancholia behaved when the two KnightWalker soldiers came and took her best friend away with sheer brute force.''
 * Sumireko: No...

''Sumireko then calmed herself down before her sweet smile returned on her face. However, that smiled was apparently faked. She was trying to hold back her own feelings of sorrow and fear.'' ''Sumireko tried to calm herself so that she could keep her daily smile, but the face of Shinya still haunted her. She could not find anything that was even more menacing than that. When Shinya entered, Sumireko tried to embrace Shinya whiled she mistook her as Mahiru... but Shinya pushed her away and looked at her with a sadistic grin...'' ''The smile of Shinya started to turn more cryptic and gruesome. Her icy blue eyes narrowed and some weird shadow had covered half of her face, making her face seemed absolutely gruesome. Now, she was drenched by the thirst for revenge... even if she felt torn about it.'' ''Then, the hand of Sumereko began to change. Skin was falling from her hand and revealed some black and metalic surface underneath it. Ever since Mahiru Banba was turned into Shinya Banba, Sumireko had doubts on the true purpose of the Langdon Orphans as well as Michael Langdon's true nature.''
 * Sumireko: (think) * Then, I will do the action myself. I will save Banba-san from the cell and dig out the truth behind all this... *
 * 29381f30e924b899453e62e06c061d950b7bf6ec.jpgShinya: (think) Banba-san, if I cannot save you from this second personality, no matter how it was formed after whatever Eckidina did to you... *
 * 6159252dd42a283417d72dd359b5c9ea14cebff0.jpgSumireko: (think) * If this is a lie, and I will break the lie to save you... even if I burn myself alongside you when you cannot make it. *



''It was not the first time Sumireko overhead a talk between Michael and Melancholia. After her first overhear when Michael arrived in the Underwater Base right after he became the Pope, Sumireko eventually knew the true identity of the mysterious hooded man who stoled the Grand Grimoire from Vatican.''

''Because of Michael's talk about the sea monster creation inside that cocoon, Sumireko began to feel shock and enraged. She cannot understand the reason of Michael becoming evil and desiring the destruction of this world. Now, Sumireko had the answer.''

Michael Langdon is evil all along.

''Then, with pain and torment inside her heart, Sumireko ended up making her own decision. Even with her being an adoptive family of Michael, nothing could replace Mahiru Banba inside her mind. Even if that meant she would try hard to confront her former benefactor and betray him... she would use her own actions to tell him what was right.'' ''With her cryptic smile disappeared, Sumireko then silently went back to her room as if nothing happened. No one had noticed what she was doing... or so she thought.''
 * Sumireko: (think) * Now, it is time to save her. All my vengence is all for my best friend, from the only one who treated me truthfully. *

Act 4 - Blood of Evil
<p style="text-align:center;"> Ukraine  <p style="text-align:center;"> New Russian Resistance HQ  <p style="text-align:center;"> Campamento Pica  <p style="text-align:center;"> Carl's room 



''A red rose, the same red rose Noelle bought for Carl from Poison Ivy by Noelle, was now inside a vase, and the vase was placed on the desk of Carl for him to watch. It was considered as Noelle's Valentine present for Carl. Carl decided to treasure it till one day it withers.''

''Soon, this happened... though in an unexpected way''

''Without any warning, the rose itself started to change its color all of a sudden. The rose itself turned darker in its hue and started to change its color. Its pedal became darker, darker and darker, dark enough to make it from red into the color of...''



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

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> Poison Ivy's Greenhouse

Inside her greenhouse, Poison Ivy suddenly felt something bad inside her chest, and she held her shoulder in tense of fear while shivering. ''Trying to regain her composure, Poison Ivy struggled herself with the sudden uncanny feelings. She felt some plant inside the HQ was getting dying... or even worse. However, that kind of feeling soon disappeared.'' ''Despite trying to comfort herself, Ivy still had some uncanny feelings and felt something bad was going to happen. Then, she heard a knock on the door.'' ''Ivy went to opened the door, and she saw Matt standing out of the door of her greenhouse. He was looking at her with his gratitude. Ivy was surprised and pleased.''
 * Poison Ivy: Ugh... what is this feeling? Why am I... Oh, why am I feeling so awful?
 * Poison Ivy: Maybe it was just me...
 * Poison Ivy: Here I am!



''Matt looked at Ivy's smiling face and blushed. No men could ever resist from the charm of Poison Ivy no matter how hard they tried. However, it was just a brief time for Matt, who immediately regained his composre and calmness.''
 * Poison Ivy: Oh, Matt, what brings you here?
 * Matt: I'm sorry to trouble you, Ivy.
 * Poison Ivy: What happened? Are you okay?

''Ivy turned into a face full of concern, since she do not want to break the budding romantic relationships between Matt and Maria, which she sensed. Matt had regained his composure completely and sighed.'' ''While speaking, Matt then chose a seat to sit, with grape vines surrounding him. Ivy sat beside him and looked at him with concern.'' ''Matt then turned his head and looked at Ivy in the eyes. He then smiled in gratefulness.'' ''Ivy heard this and was mildly surprised. She kept silent for a while and shook her head.'' Ivy shrugged her shoulder with an affable smile. ''Matt heard all of this and was amazed. He nodded while blinking his eyes. Ivy was speaking in a modest tone and Matt was glad that she was not an arrogant megalomaniac like Fiamma.'' ''Hearing this, Matt smiled again with relief. He could now fully trust Poison Ivy, who was known to be one of Gotham's most notorious villains who was now fighting for saving the world from supernatural beings.'' ''The two looked at each other with some time of silence, and neither of them spoke a word... until Ivy herself broke the silence.'' Then, Ivy was about to stand up, but Matt immediately called her. ''Poison Ivy then looked at Matt with confusion. Matt looked at Ivy for a while with a nervous expression, but soon he sighed in relief.''
 * Elsword_raven_the_blade_master_by_darktheskull-d5h2n5n.pngMatt: *sigh* Yeah... I'm fine.
 * Poison Ivy: And Lady Spencer?
 * Matt: She's alive, and she's now imprisoned in Corazon Prison, chained with magic power to inanimate her movements.
 * Matt: Sister Kate told me what you did.
 * Poisonivy_small_by_ann4rt-da4fi8o.jpgPoison Ivy: It was nothing.
 * Matt: No... you could've done nothing. You didn't.
 * Poison Ivy: I suppose I did fabricate a blood test stating that Lady Spencer had a psychosis-inducing virus. I also made a report showing that her fingerprints were left Jocelyn's cloth. I then called Maria, but she located the true location of the old foundry and it is pretty unnecessary to call her.
 * Poison Ivy: And I'm glad that I did that.
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.1520734.jpgMatt: Me, too.
 * Poison Ivy: Uh, I suppose I better get working.
 * Matt: Ivy?

''Ivy heard this and felt warmth inside her heart. She smiled and nodded, and then she watched Matt to stand up and leave the greenhouse while saying "farewell".''

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

Noelle looked at Kate with confusion, and Kate then shook her head with a concerned expression. Then, Kate turned herself into a hologram screen and it showed a scene footage from Supernatural'', a popular TV series of America. The scene made everyone bewildered.''
 * 12382.jpgNoelle: What do you mean my brother cannot do the job?
 * Sister Kate: [Judging with his personality as well as his, um, clumsiness, I guess he will definitely behave like this guy if someone asked him to show his ID card. Watch.]



Kate winded back the footage a little bit and she pasued.

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

The screen frozed on the scene, which is...



<p style="text-align:center;">' - Kate: See the FBI card on the left? That's what I called accident. '

''Feeling amused, Noelle looked aside. She did not see Matt in the room. He was yet from returning. If he saw the footage from the series of Supernatural, he would be embarrased. Kate then turned back into her human hologram form.'' ''Stop thinking about her brother's possible reaction, Noelle turned serious once more and frowned her eyebrows. She seemed like hestitating. Noelle then turned to Villian, now known as Astaroshe Asran.'' ''Villian nodded and turned back. She took Esther back to the latter's house. Noelle breathed the cold, thin air and sighed. She closed her eyes in dismay. Esther stopped before took a look at Noelle, but then she just turned away and walked out of the room.''
 * Tumblr_omwbvpm8wp1r1cllvo7_500.gifNoelle: It does look like what my brother might do... by accident.
 * Noelle: However, we need to discuss a much more serious question. I think the talk had diverted us for too long.
 * Noelle: Please take Esther to her room. Our coming discussion requires privacy.



Seeing Esther leaving made Noelle finally had some security upon her plan. Noelle then lowered her head and sighed. ''Like Noelle, Kate felt sad when she heard this, feeling she was holding a sweet potato that was sizzling hot. She cannot decide to throw it or not.'' The face of Noelle was shrouded in shadow, hinting her own sadness inside her heart.
 * Noelle: The Corazon Army is getting Mary Spencer into prison, and Matt told me that the four executives cannot have a good idea in common. Carl wants execution, Maria wants purifying and subsquent release, Magilou perfers life imprisonment, and Matt can't even decide what to do, just wanting to keep her alive for now.
 * Noelle: For now, I agree with my brother. I think anything could happen.
 * Sister Kate: After all, we must understand what Esther feel on this. Even after all those time we tell her the new Pope's nature, she still defends him. Oh, I assume she is lying to herself... I do understand her, since I myself have a hard time believing it as well.

''Hearing it, Sister Kate then thought a bit while putting her hand on her chin. She suddenly opened her eyes wider when she remembered something.'' Kate then looked aside and making everyone looked at her. Suddenly, before Sister Kate could finish her words, the alarm bell roared in the most terrifying and the most annoying way, interripting everyone's ongoing discussion.
 * MarySpencer27.jpgNoelle: That's awful. However, in my opinion, the first priority is to find a way to cure Lady Spencer while making her still alive.
 * Sister Kate: [Wait a minute...]
 * Sister Kate: Abel had told me that Cardinal Sforza knew about the weakness of Byzantine Parang, although it required her own sacrifise...
 * Noelle: Really?
 * Sister Kate: Yes, but I can't decide whether it was necessary for her to do so.

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

''People all heard the alert and widened their eyes one by one due to sudden shock. They could hardly understand what happened just now.''
 * Noelle: It was from Pica Army!

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile  <p style="text-align:center;"> Poison Ivy's Greenhouse 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Matt's position 

Meanwhile, inside her greenhouse, Poison Ivy felt more and more tensed when she felt her own mysterious and uncanny feelings. ''With no hestitations, Poison Ivy immediately checked the plants inside her greenhouse, but she found none of them sick, damaged or having other problems. Therefore, it was obvious that the feeling of decadance came from another nearby plant. Ivy desperately tried to locate the source of the corruption...''
 * Poison Ivy: What on Earth is happening?

... before she heard the alarm from Pica Army Camp.

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

''Hearing the alarm, Poison Ivy immediately realized what could happen now. Shelocated her vision into the Campamento Pica... and into Carl's room. She saw a rose had turned black and started to mutate itself into a monster. Ivy widened her eyes in shock.'' ''The most important thing was, she recognized the rose... very clearly''
 * Poison Ivy: Pica Army? * gasp * Could it be... that rose...
 * Poison Ivy: That rose...

Poison Ivy's Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Spin-Off - Firenza Junior - The Black Army



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

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

However, instead of telling them immediately, the woman then whispered to the two. ''Carl and Noelle looked at each other, and Noelle had to shrugged her shoulder, showing her helplessness. Then, Carl nodded to the woman in green. After that, they followed the mysterious woman into the alley.'' ''The woman took off her hood and revealed a face which was pale green. Her lips were viridian in its color as if they were made of emerald.''
 * Woman: Follow me to this nearby alley and I will tell you.
 * Woman: Good, coast is clear. Now, allow me to introduce myself.
 * Woman: I am Pamela Lillian Isley, more commonly known as Poison Ivy. Pleasure to meet you.

Nowadays
The face of Poison Ivy turned and more and more serious, and her eyes turned fully into an aura of emerald green. ''Ivy shivered in horror and bit her lips. The plants inside her greenhouse began to shake violently due to her horror.''
 * Poison Ivy: The blood of Carl... He bleeded... I should suspect it had problems, but...

''Standing up from the chair, Poison Ivy immediately headed herself towards the Campamento Pica. She hoped she was not too late.'' ​
 * Poison Ivy: I should gave them another rose other than that one...
 * Poison Ivy: (narrator) * It seems that those pain and tribulations upon us are far cry from over. *

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

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

''It took three minutes for Poison Ivy to get to campamento Pica. All the way, she saw vines stretched everywhere, but the vines are more like black than green. Ivy kept blaming herself for not giving them another flower, but she could have blame herself for nothing since she had no idea of Carl's tainted blood.'' Ivy ran, ran and ran, and when she entered the scene that was covered in vines and thorns, she was utterly apalled by the scene...
 * Poison Ivy: (think) * I must be really fast, fast enough to get towards the place... *

''What she saw was a mosnter with a large head like a dark red rose. The monster also had other buds and branches. It was expanding and stretching itself into the place of Campamento Pica. Poison Ivy could never believe what had happened. She had knew about the demonic nature in blood of Carl when she entered the Russian Eastern Orthodox Church. She never knew about how the demonic blood would cause... until now.'' ''Before Poison Ivy was apalled by the scene, she felt she was grabbed by someone with sheer brute force. It was Carl who grabbed her collar.'' ''Horrified and dizzy, Ivy could not react to Carl's movement. It took both Noelle and Acqua to pull him away from Acqua.'' Poison Ivy could not answer more, and she only watch as the plant of her was destorted into a hideous monster. Carl still snarled at her and bit his lips.
 * Poison Ivy: No! That was...
 * Godzilla_neo_biollante_rose_by_kaijusamurai.jpgPoison Ivy: ......!!
 * Carl: YOU FEMME FATALE! WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE ROSE NOELLE BOUGHT FOR ME... FROM YOU!?
 * Acqua: Carl, calm yourself down!
 * Noelle: Poison Ivy, what happened?
 * Poison Ivy: Did you remember that once... you ask me why Michael Langdon wanted your blood, Carl?
 * Carl: Yes, so what?

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Poison Ivy: Now, I can see why.

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> 3 meters away from Corazon Prison Building 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Gate of Corazon Prison 

''All the while the alarm bell rang, Duchess Asran, the real Duchess Asran, looked at Princess Villian in fury. For now, Villian was not in a illusion disguise of the real Duchess Asran herself. The duchess was very dissatisfied when she heard Villian wanted to disguise as her. However, considering the situation and the strategy, she agreed.'' ''Asran then turned her head aside. She saw several other people who disguised as her via illusory magic.''
 * Asran: Princess Villian, you should know it is I who helped the Patriarch to find a new headquater in the city I lived in order to support both the Catholic Rebels and the entire Russian Resistance. You know the consequences of impersonating me.
 * Asran: However...

''Asran was an important figure during the hardest time when the Russian Resistance and the Catholic Rebels had to move to Kiev in order to preserve their strength. Duchess Asran was also the warden of Corazon Prison, made from the old mason of Duchess Asran's ancestors. Therefore, Asran had the key to Corazon Prison, an information that Michael Langdon knew. It was the reason that put Asran in danger as well after the capture of Mary Spencer. Michael's minions would capture Asran if they wanted a cursed Lady Spencer get freed.'' To Asran's words, Villian nodded and spoke in a polite manner.  ''Villian looked at Duchess Asran with serenity, and the latter sighed. Eventually, Duchess Asran nodded in an approving manner. She felt bad about this, but she knew the Russian Resistance had been suffering from all those underhanded attack from the forces of Michael Langdon and Melancholia. It was not easy to bring the Catholic Rebels and the Russian Resistance out of this situation.'' ''Villian frowned her eyebrows with two drops of sweat coming from her head, feeling embarrased and bewildered. It was apparent that the seemly serious duchess had her own sense of humor after all. Even so, Villian was not amused, and she was absolutely worried by all this.'' ''During this moment while the alarm bell rang like crazy, both Villian and Duchess Asran - along with those imposters - were guarding the edge of the Campamento Corazon in order to prevent futher sneak attack, so they did not react when the alarm rang. While they were talking caually, none of them let their guard down.'' ''Suddenly, the expression of Duchess Asran turned a lot more serious once again. She immediately looked around as if she heard some noise or feel something strange. The alarm was ringing still, but it was very obvious that Duchess Asran heard something else.'' Surprised, Villian immediately reacted by revealing her sword while turning into Asran via magic, mimicing her face and even her dress. ''Asran then held her spear in her hand. Her spear had a large emerald attached on it. She did not smile as usual.'' Suddenly, from above, Sister Paula leaped from the castle wall and used her blade to attack Duchess Asran, but the attack of Sister Paula were blocked by Villian, who used her sword to block the attack. ''Sister Paula never recogized Villian under her disguise. She was surprised to see there was another Asran blocking her attack, and she leaped away from Villian, landing on the ground and faced the Corazon Army guards, all disguised as Duchess Asran.'' ''Sister Paula's expression of confusion was noticed by Villian who was still defending Duchess Asran. Villian was rather surprised to see Paula being confused by the total disguise.''
 * 87439.jpgAsran: However, considering your own publicity and honesty, I trust you that you won't crash my name. Confused your sister simply by impersonating me? That strategy sounds like a bovine idea.
 * Villian: Yes, perhaps, but I think it will works. Maria designed this for me. She said my sister wanted me, and she also had the informations implying Neo Inquisition wanted your head. Therefore, I am pretty sure that this strategy will save us both.
 * Asran: Fine, I'll treat it as a last resort, something that "takes care of a dead horse while pretending it is alive." (simplified Chinese: 死马当成活马医) Is that what people in China said?
 * Villian: No idea.
 * Asseylum.Vers.Allusia.full.1854239.jpgAsran: Wait...
 * Asran: Princess, I heard some strange noise.
 * Villian: You can send me a bill for violating the own copyright of your physical appearance.
 * Asran: Save that joke for yourself. We have company.
 * Anime_Sisiter_Paula_normal_Trinity_Blood_20-200.jpgPaula: Huh?
 * Paula: It can't be! So many Duchess Asran?

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Villian: (think) * Oh, my God! We revived the dead horse after all! * '

Infuriated and shocked, Sister Paula then sighed. ''Paula then subsquently whistled. Then, as if it was already well-prepared, several troops with masks and dressed in a uniform with red cross had came out of nowhere, pointing the rifles at them.'' ''Villian was stunned in horror when she saw the troops that were dressed up like KKK followers. Duchess Asran narrowed her eyes in shock and anger.'' ''Asran and her imposters immediately raised ther battle stance. If Paula was alone, they could handle her and end the fight very quickly, but since she had brought the Papal Knights, things would get ugly.'' ''Hearing this, ​Duchess Asran and Villian both had a mild shocked reaction on their face, followed by the shocked face of other imposters. Paula looked at their expressions and grinned wickedly.'' As a response, Duchess Asran - along with all of her imposters - yelled in anger and rage.
 * Paula: Fortunately, we brought our strike force.
 * Villian: That's the---
 * PapalKnights4.pngAsran: It was Papal Knights? Why... why are they here?
 * Paula: If I cannot find the real Duchess of Kirv, the one who have the key towards the prison, I will never break Mary Spencer out!
 * Paula: It seems that you are yet to free her from the curse, just as the Pope foresaw. If I cannot find the real one, then I will kill every last one of you!
 * All Asrans: WE WILL NEVER ALLOW YOU TO BREAK THE PRISON!

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> Campamento Pica  <p style="text-align:center;"> Source of the alarm bell 

''Patriarch Krans looked at the rose monster that was turned into black. He widened his only eye that could see, while his injured eye was covered in bandages in order to cover his scar. Now, in his Wind Armatus form, Patriarch Krans wielded his blade and stared at the plant montrosity.'' Poison Ivy was stunned in horror when she looked at the monster that was once just a simple rose. ''Poison Ivy muttered the reason out, and the Patriarch looked at the monster again. The rose monster was attacked by other members of the Russian Orthodox Church, with all of the Four Top Executives of the Catholic Rebels assisting them.'' ''Krans clenched his fist and he cannot blame Poison Ivy for all this. At that time, she had no idea what Carl's blood was capable of. Michael Langdon was planning something big with Carl's blood, a plan much bigger than anyone could imagine.'' ''Poison Ivy looked at the monstrous rose which she once sold to Noelle to make it a Valentine's gift for Carl Robinson. She could not forgave herself.'' For the first time of her entire life, Poison Ivy had permitted someone to exterminate her plant, as it had became demonic and even someone like her could not control it anymore. ''Poison Ivy then get out her bag of roses and stared at the. The thorn of her red roses had expanded and it immediately strained the black rose monster. The black rose monster started to struggle, but nothing happened.''
 * Krans: POISON IVY! WHAT IS GOING ON?
 * Poison Ivy: Ugh...
 * Poison Ivy: Carl's blood...
 * 62335011_p0_master1200.jpgKrans: Such gashtly power... No wonder why Michael Langdon wants the blood of Carl Robinson so much. Now, I have seen the consequece with my very own eyes!
 * Krans: Anyway, sorry, Ivy... I need to free this flower from its pain.
 * Poison Ivy: Granted.
 * Poison Ivy: I will free it from its pain, and I will fight plant with plant!

''The action of Poison Ivy immediately bought its attackers more chances. They were unable to destroy the beast because of its violent tendency alongside its quick speed, pretty similar to Carl himself when he used his internal power.'' ''Maria then clenched her teeth and raised her palm, summoning a large fire sphere. She was ready to throw it at the monster's core.'' ''Maria threw the fire ball at the monster's core, and it struck down the thorns that blocked it. However, it was not the end. A shadow made of purple energy suddenly burst out of its pistil. The purple energy shadow took form of a horned demon at first, but soon it changed to a large mouth. It immediately swallowed the fire ball.''
 * Poison Ivy: Maria! Burn it now!
 * Maria: Ivy, but...
 * Poison Ivy: JUST DO IT!
 * 0okfopekog.gifMaria: Now... burn!

''All of the people around it cannot believe what they saw. A demon shadow came out of the mutated rose had eaten an enormous fire sphere that was supposed to burn this monster to the ground.'' ''Matt and Magilou performed a massive face fault in horror. They both had their jaws opened in horror and bewilderment. Even Maria was apparently surprised by the situation.'' Maria and Carl both maintained their calmness when they look at the horned demon shadow that turned the color of its glowing from purple into red. Maria looked at Carl with curiousity, but soon she turned to the monster once again. Just then, Carl and Maria heard two strange laughter and yelling came from behind. ''Hearing the words of Matt and Magilou, Carl turned back and took a look at them... before widening his eyes in shock and bewilderment. Maria did not turned back. She had already knew what kind of weird idea was inside their store.'' ''The two were dressed up as two Kamen Riders from classic eras, making Maria shedded a large drop of sweat on her forehead. Carl had the same expressions, but he yelled it out in rage.'' ''Carl then turned back in agony, looking at the demonic shadow on the black rose. The shadow spitted the fire ball out to Carl, who faced it with no qualm.'' ''Carl raised his mutated left arm and released a certain amount of energy. He instantely blocked the fire ball, which blew itself up right in front of him. He then turned serious and menacing, all the while facing the gahstly demon.'' ''Carl and other clergies all turned to the demonic shadow of the rose monster, which was formed out of unknown reason. Maria then turned back to Matt and Magilou, who was still in their pose. Patriarch Krans and Poison Ivy went to them as well.'' ''There were no response or movements, not even breathing. Maria realized that there was something wrong. She desperately touched the two "Kamen Riders", and she found them completely motionless.'' ''Maria, Krans and Ivy looked at each other with blank astonishment. Suddenly, they heard a yell when a bright light came from the bottom of the flower.'' ''An explosion of dust bursted out of the stem of the rose monster, and it was cut in waist. The monster suddenly screamed in horror and pain, before everyone saw Matt appeared form the dusty smoke, cutting the monster in half.''
 * 4ImCbK6t42OTf1r4SlcG88.jpgMatt: It... eats the fire ball!?
 * Magilou: WHAT THE HECK! HOW DID IT BECOME SO HUNGRY, ANYWAY!?
 * Maria: ......
 * MolochSupernatural.jpgCarl: What happened? I feel I had saw a demon like it in my nightmare. It has a name...
 * Maria: We can talk about this later, but we have to get rid of this creature first!
 * Matt: No matter what it is, we can take this evil monster down!
 * 58849920_p0_master1200.jpgMagilou: Everyone, please take a good look at our new battle suits!
 * Maria: Come on, you two... You-you know I don't like grasshoppers.
 * Carl: CAN'T YOU TWO GET SERIOUS!?
 * Carl: Allow me.
 * Reckless.Fist.(Raven).full.1062522.jpgCarl: ALL-OUT ATTACK!
 * Maria: Come on, you two, this is no game...
 * Maria: Wait, are these action figures?
 * Matt: Half-Moon Glaive!!!

"......!!"

Having their attention caught by this event, Maria and Krans were both shocked before they heard another voice came from the top. ''With a war cry, Magilou stroke down her magic spell upon the monster, particularly the demonic spirit that was trying to gain balance from the collapsed bloom. The magic power stroke the root of the rose monster and set it aflame.'' ''Carl looked at the scene with surprise, but soon he smiled and regained his composure. He raised his claw and sword before going right towards the rose monster, followed by all of his subordinate.''
 * Magilou: Well, not so fast, buddy!
 * Carl: Well, that is incredible. Now, allow me...
 * Krans: Oh, I am impressed.

Feeling deeply impressed, Maria and Patriarch Krans both looked at each other with a smile. ''​Maria and Krans immediately turned into their respective divine form and started to strike down the demonic shadow. As if it was sensing the danger in front of it, the purple demonic shadow started to expand itself while leaving from the bloom, turning into a demon with a much more physical shape.'' ''Maria raised her sword of fire and shutted her lips tightly. She was glad that she had already arranged all kinds of people to guard the rest of three camps beside Campamento Pica, in order to deal with sneak attack.''
 * Maria: Let us do this. We will end this here and now!
 * 5rftyvgh98iugkjhPNC.jpgMaria: Everyone! Take warning!
 * Duchess Asran shall led other Asran impostors to confuse the enemies all the while guarding the Corazon Prison.
 * Aureolus Izzard and Acqua of the Back were guarding the developing Campamanto Diamante.
 * The AX members divided into two different groups and were guarding the Camp Corazon and Camp Trebol, respectively.

Maria deduced that Melancholia must saw this happening in her magical vision, and so that evil Mother Superior shall take actions as soon as possible. ''​Landing beside Maria, Magilou heard this and smiled in a naughty manner, saying the name of their new all-out attack. Maria stepped her foot in fraustration.'' ''​Maria covered her face in distress but soon regained her seriousness. The demonic shadow was strained by the light lasso of Vasilisa so that it can barely move at all. That bought the executives enough time for them to talk before focusing in fight once again.''
 * Maria: Now, Carl, Magilou, Matt, let us try our new combined technique of all-out attack!
 * Magilou: You mean "Suit Jackpot", right?
 * Maria: NO SPOILERS, PLEASE!
 * Matt: Wait a minute, you once mentioned the same technique during the morning meetings, right?
 * Maria: That is "Executive Big Bang", it's a different technique... until I changed its name to "Suit Jackpot". You are right. It is the same thing.
 * Maria: Well, I was just joking. Listen, you three, here is the plan; each of us shall raise our techniques and combines them all together, into "Suit Jackpot". All of us must stay focus on one certain target. That is the first priority!

''Maria then raised her hand to summon a large fire sphere again, Magilou summoned her card, and Matt prepared to gave out his next slash with his blade. Carl, however, was thinking something else entirely. He was feeling more and more unnerved when he looked into the eyes of that horned demon, when all of a sudden, a vision started to surface.'' ''Maria, Matt, Magilou all tried to get ready for the action, but Carl remained motionless. He just stared into the eye of that mysterious horned demon. Maria sensed something was wrong with Carl, so she looked straight at Carl, feeling shocked to what happened to him.''
 * Maria: Now, tres, dos... (three, two)
 * Maria: Pica? Carl? What happened to you?

Carl's Vision
<p style="text-align:center;"> Purgatory

''Feeling pain on his shoulders like fire, Carl was awakened, looking at a chained woman with brown hair, right in front of him. His eyes was looking right into the face of the woman, the brown haired woman with a pair of green eyes, looking at him with no emotions on her face.''

''Carl was utterly confused by this, but then, as if his mouth suddenly went out of control... he started to spoke things against his will, in a deep and horrendous voice like thunder.'' ''The woman named Christine shedded blood from her hair. Her face was mutated and having pentagon-shape hole as if there was a beehive that merged with her face.'' ''Feeling strange about the mysterious horned demon shadow, Carl was confused by all of this since he was looking at the woman who called him Master for no reason. Carl also found out that he was speaking what he was not trying to say, as if his body was possessed by someone else entirely.'' ''Then, Carl (???) raised his arm and grabbed the pale woman's face, bellowed at her when she looked at him with her pair of green eyes, a pair of eyes that had no living expressions. The real Carl was horrified to find his arm which turned into a pale claw, a claw of demon.'' ''He then shook his head and let Christine go. He was infuriated at heart, feeling so much disappointment. Christine only stared at him with calmness.'' He turned back and attempted to walk away...
 * Carl (???): You failed me, Christine. It was too long since I have been inside this place, and I even forget just how sly a human can become.
 * MolochSupernatural.jpgChristine: Master, please forgive me... I should not have kill Colin without your permission, I should not play with the mind of my father, and I should not...
 * Carl (???): SILENCE!
 * 10443626.jpgCarl (???): I had already gave you the order to kill Colin if one day he became incompetent and/or useless. The rampage of Caspar went well thanks to the Witnesses hurting Colin as well as your resurrection in time, fueling him with rage so that you could manipulate him with mind control to take them all!
 * 308Atticus.pngCarl (???): The only thing I was infuriated at you was you messed up with Atticus Nevins, and that almost stirred my plan!
 * Carl (???): So, now I will chain you here until that Valindra Shadowmantle had sent her sacrificial lamb in exchange for your soul. Before that, you shall rot in here.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Maria: [Carl? What happened to you?!] '

''Carl heard the voice of Maria calling him, but he was unable to get out from his vision. Soon, Maria's voice faded away as Christine's voice replaced the voice of Maria.'' ''The "Master" turned back... and "so did" Carl. He was confused and bellowed out his words.'' The woman named Christine gave him a dark expression. He narrowed his eyes when he heard Christine's words, feeling greatly desperate and infuriated. ''He turned back to Christine and walked towards her in three steps. His face was so closed to Christine's face that he even smelt the putrid smells coming from her injured soul.'' ''Christine heard this and shook her head with a smile. She sighed without any objections.'' ''He heard Christine's words and went silent. He soon turned away with no feelings inside him, and he walked towards a door into some kind of stairs.'' ''As soon as he went out of the door, the scene changed. Carl suddenly felt he was throw into a black chamber, with himself being tied in chains and tried to struggle. Voices started to went on and off around him, all the while trying to whisper him words that would drive him crazy.'' ''​The voices were becoming clearer and clearer. Carl then saw several dark figures inside his shape were apporaching him, followed by their dreadful whispering. The dark figures soon merged together into a pale skull with a gruesome smile.'' ''The voices kept coming one by one, fueling his fury and desperation. Carl covered his head with his claw as the voices became clearer. It all turned into the voices of Carl himself, speaking in one voice. Spirals were surrounding him, swirling like crazy. Carl immediately covered his head in pain, but the voice just won't stop...''
 * Christine: Wait, Master!
 * Carl (???): What is it?
 * Christine: Believe me, Master. You still need me as your loyal subordinate despite I am now chained here inside this Purgatory. I just cannot understand what could the blood of mine means to you, Master.
 * Carl (???): Isn't that obvious?
 * Carl (???): Not just your blood. Firenza's blood as well, with his father's blood... and his son's blood tained with the Blackness alongside a soul piece of mine! I can feel mild of his power, and I am yet to reach him! However, Nevins knows how to contact someone who CAN manage it! I want it for so long. The chance finally came when someone helped me to get that blood from Firenza's son from future. In future, his blood will become powerful and made him powerful as well. He serves as a tool for me. The two family's blood with dark magic shall be benificial for my later plans connected to the Horsemen.
 * Christine: I wonder once that the son of Firenza was still alive. Firenza was an reincarnation of one of your followers, and I know it. That will be an awful bloodline of madness. Whoever born from it deserves no love.
 * Carl (???): Maybe, you are right. That man, Michael Langdon, was dealing with Firenza's son. Even though I cannot contact him, I think he will follow everything I told him.
 * Made_of_Evil.jpgVoices: Monster... Monster... You are a monster, Firenza Junior, a monster who you are destinied to become...

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Voice of Inner Carl: Listen to us, and carry on his legacy... End everything "he" had started... and bring the Hell upon this planet! ''

Reality
''Maria looked at Carl while yelling at him in shock. Carl remained emotionless and was sweating. Maria was shocked and narrowed her eyes, grunting. She was feeling something was not right.'' Maria immediately used her magic to delve into the mind of Carl, but she only found a space of pitch black inside his mind, with numerous sound calling in a deep-pitched growl. ''Maria was surprised when she heard the voice. Her face went grey as dead. Matt and Magilou was looking at Carl nervously, wondering what on Earth was happening to him just at the time they were trying to do their all-out attack they had just invented and trained for days.'' ''Magilou turned her head and looked at the horned demon, feeling utterly suspicious upon it. Carl went strange as soon as he sensed the demonic energy. Given to the fact that the rose monster combined with the evil power in Carl's blood, it had some ablity to trigger something strange inside Carl after meeting him face to face, possibly triggering an inner demon in Carl's mind.''
 * E0e45e6f249f33df8cf2c33b24ecf.pngMaria: Carl, can you hear me?
 * Maria: Ugh...
 * Voice: You are the son of Firenza... AND the next Horrid King! Your destiny is going to be outright evil!
 * Maria: I heard it... I heard some strange voice coming from his head!
 * Ivyprofile.jpgMagilou: I don't think we have time to find out what the voice is...

''Vasilisa was still straining the demon with her lasso, but it seemed that she cannot take it anymore. Even so, she was also the one who noticed Carl gone abnormal.'' ''Maria immediately raised her staff and turned to Carl in sheer alarm. Poison Ivy raised her hands and summoned several pedals from her hand. She looked at Carl as some kind of power came out of his body in a form of purple gas.'' ''Poison Ivy's words made all of the people beside her and Carl stunned speechless, feeling too shock to hear that Calr was possessed by a All of a sudden, Carl struggled in pain and cried in agony. He was shaking himself violently all the while yelling in horror and pain, a yell that spreaded throughout the entire city.''
 * Vasilisa: What is wrong with him?
 * Poison Ivy: Guys, I met this kind of power before... It belongs to an ancient demon king!
 * Maria: A ancient demon king?

''While Carl was yelling, the horned demon broke free from the lasso and tried to attack everyone on sight. Carl yelled in fury and rushed towards the demon. He grabbed the demon's energy body and ripped it from the flower. Then, much to everyone's horror, Carl had consumed the demon by himself, biting it bit by bit up until nothing was left.''
 * Reckless.Fist.(Raven).full.1473418.jpgCarl: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Both Matt and Magilou were terrified by the actions of Carl, feeling shocked to see the demon being utterly consumed in such a grosteque way. ''After consuming the demonic energy, Carl yelled in rage once again. His eyes widened like large pearls and his pupil shinked into a size of some small berry.'' ''Vasilisa went towards Carl and tried to calm him down, but the energy surrounding Carl suddenly bursted all of a sudden. Vasilisa was sent 7 meters away and fell on the street.'' ''Carl's mindless actions made everyone beside him alarmed. Matt raised his blade and looked at Carl, feeling horrified to see his best friend lost control of himself and gone into such a psychotic state.'' ''Terrified, Poison Ivy looked at Carl as if she was now looking at something she had already saw. She immediately placed a crossbow on her wrist and pointed at Carl, trying to scare him.''
 * Matt: Gulp...
 * Shocked_gif_by_rinoabc-d3j0x12.gifMagilou: Oh, I... I guess I'm gonna go with double gulp.
 * Carl: I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO LIVE! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! STOP SPEAKING ALL OF THOSE TRASHES IN MY MIND!
 * Vasilisa: Carl, wait...
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.1332240.jpgKrans: Vasilisa!
 * Matt: Hurry up, guys! We're gonna calm him down!
 * Poison Ivy: DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS!

Shocked and infuriated by the sudden explosive rage of Carl, Maria beside Poison Ivy raised her staff and clenched her teeth, desperately trying to understand what on Earth was happening inside Carl's mind. Bursted into rage, Carl had yelled in horror and rage, clenching his fists and waved his body like a total lunatic.
 * Poison Ivy: Everyone be quick! That is not the power we could control in a short period of time!
 * Carl: YOU KEEP A TRAITOR IN A PRISON! YOU KEEP THOSE MEN SURRENDERED FROM THE KNIGHTWALKERS IN OUR ARMY! YOU KEEP AN ALCHEMIST IN OUR TEAM! YOU CALL THEM FAMILY? YOU ARE A FAILURE!

''Everyone had to prepare for Carl's attack. He was behaving like some rabid dog, being someone so raving, so furious and so violent that was the polar opposite to the original Carl who should behave much more emotionless.'' ''Feeling how and why Carl turned on her and blaming things on her, Maria was confused but she remained stoic. Vasilisa, Matt, Magilou, Patriarch Krans as well as the members of Corazon Army all gathered towards her.'' ''Just one second after Maria gave out her orders, Carl took actions. Yelling in rage and with a twsited grin on his face, a berserked Carl opened his claw and continued to yell in stark raving mad.''
 * Carl: DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH! FRIENDS? FAMILY? FAITH? KEEP THAT SHIT TO YOURSELF! MARIA ARZONIA, YOU AND YOUR KINDNESS HAD PISSED ME OFF!
 * Maria: Watch out! Corazon Army, defense stance!

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

Act 5 (final) - Twist
<p style="text-align:center;"> 1 minute later 

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> 200 meters away 

''The yelling of Carl Robinson had spreaded into the entire HQ and many people heard it. They all looked at the directions.'' Aureolus Izzard grinned like wicked when he heard the yelling, seemly feeling interested about this kind of yelling. Currently, Aureolus had no idea what was truly happening in Campamento Pica, but he saw some destructive energy combined with purple and orange flames kept bursting itself out of the place. ''Aureolus then looked at Petros Orsini not far away from him, with a helmet on the latter's head. Brother Petros was wearing a heavy armor and looked at him with rage. He was pretty much annoyed.''
 * Aureolus: Is that Firenza Junior?
 * Aureolus: This is it. It seems like he had the courage to defend this place... or burn this place to the ground. It is interesting.
 * Aureolus: Can't you see, Brother Petros? You are trying to get some kind of power that you can neither control or eliminate, never ever.

Petros attacked Aureolus with his spear, and then Aureolus kept dogding himself from the attack. All of a sudden, much to Petros' surprise, Aurelous chuckled in a dark manner before he raised his head and laughed out. ''Aureolus then used some kind of cat-like reflexes to dodge the attack before kicking the head of Petros. Having his helmet dropping on the ground, Petros stopped attacking and looked at Aureolus as the latter gave him an insane and amoral look. Petros was just a bit of dizzy, but he was far, far away from losing conciousness because of his tough build and endurance.''
 * 35678.jpgPetros: Less talk! More hitting!
 * Petros: His Holiness said that Firenza Junior is a monster, and we must strain him so that we can put the world under proper order! How can you not understand that? Why are you helping him, Aureolus!?
 * 12523.jpgAureolus: Helping him? What are you talking about?
 * 12522.jpglus: Ha, I came here to serve nobody. I came here to help no one. I only wants your downfall. Firenza Junior? I don't really care much about him or his ability. I only want to win my own place in a reborn Church!

''Hearing this, Petros was shocked and enraged. He clenched his teeth by Aureolus' behavior. Turned out, Aureolus was not trying to help Carl Robinson, or Firenza Junior, when he signed up himself to join the Catholic Rebels. He only wanted to overthrow the current Pope so that he could have his own gain from all of this.''



That behavior enraged Petros who was extremely loyal to the current Pope and would not tolerate those people who served their master out of selfish reasons. Aureolus merely looked at him with a wicked smile, a smile that could not be seen on any people with undying loyalty. ''Petros was mildly surprised by the question of Aureolus, but he soon focused on the fight once again. Petros raised his spear and tried to strike down Aureolus, but Aureolus had summoned several alchemist soldiers - mannequins made out of metals. Those mannequins surrounded Petros who was attacking him. Aureolus the raised a needle at him and stung himself with it.''
 * Petros: I hate anyone who is unloyal to his master! Now, Aureolus Izzard, for your crimes of betraying the Church long ago to become a rogue alchemist, I will execute you in the name of the Pope!
 * Aureolus: You forgot your mission, don't you, Brother Petros?

''Petros immediately felt pain on his spine, and he realized that it was the main ability of Aureolus, which could turn things in Aureolus' mind true. Now, Aureolus was thinking in torturing Petros with the needle, and now the pain had sent on the body of Petros. Petros, however, endured the pain and looked at Aureolus. Aureolus was grinning at him wickedly, and that grin made Petros disgusted.'' ''All the while he was attacking Aureolus, even someone as brutish as Petros Orsini could see that the Catholic Rebels had its own weakness. Some people was joined them just for their own selfish gain. No wonder why Maria Arzonia only put Aureolus in a guarding job instead of being an executive. She was wary of him as well.''
 * IMG_2670.jpgPetros: SHUT UP! Hand me Firenza Junior and Lady Spencer, or you will face certain fate worse than dying!!!
 * Petros: You are an abonimable and amoral creature, and I will take your head!

''Petros decided to reported it later to the Pope after he finished his job. For now, he was following Melancholia's strategy to distract Aureolus as long as Sister Paula could reach the Corazon Prison to attack Duchess Asran, get the cell key and save Mary Spencer.''

''However, Brother Petros had no idea that the attack of Sister Paula had been stalled due to being attacked by several Duchess Asran impostors, with the real one hiding among them. When the mission accomplished, Sister Paula should release a flare so that Brother Petros will know. For now, however, no flare had been released yet.''
 * Petros: (think) * What is Sister Paula doing? What happened to her? *

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

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> 500 meters away 

''Cardinal Sforza was sitting on her chair, feeling pale and frail. Her body was getting more and more painful due to her disease that was consuming her slowly and painfully, all the while she was moaning in sheer agony.'' ''Sforza struggled in her seat and shook her head. She felt utterly uneasy when she heard the yelling of Carl across this camp. What she was kept worrying had now came true finally. Carl somehow lost control on his inner demon and succubbed to its effect.'' Sforza struggled herself to get up from her chair, but Abel Nightroad appeared beside her and tried to stop her. ''Abel Nightroad, one of the executives of the AX and now one member of the Catholic Rebels, pleaded the illed Cardinal not to do such a rash decision. Looking desperately at his leader, Abel sighed.'' ''​Sforza nodded her head in agreement. She had knew the Nightroad brothers for many years and always felt sorry for their suffering.'' ''Abel was biting his own lips when he thought about all those pain he was endured. He was once a member of Langdon Orphans who was fueled with nothing but hatred due to being mocked as a monster. Abel then looked at Sforza with gratefulness.'' ''Abel then bowed in front of the frail cardinal. Sighed, Sforza looked at Abel while being moved by his words, but still she shook her head. Looking at Abel with a stoic expression, Sforza sharpened her eyes and behaved seriously.''
 * Sforza: Carl...
 * Sforza: No, that is what Michael wants. I must go and stop Carl, save Carl and...
 * Abel: Cardinal Sforza, the situation is not optimistic at all. Considering your current situation, we cannot risk your life to get to that place. Beside, we have yet to know the specific information throughout all of this thing. Please allow me to do my work.
 * Abel: Not only you and Carl are having a disease, I have a disease of my own, shared by my brother, Cain. You know we were once human children, but that vampire matron had turned us both into vampires...
 * 10389.jpgSforza: Yes, that is sad... I am sorry, but I do understand.
 * Abel: After the battle of Liberty City, me and Cain were both found by Melancholia and raised by Michael Langdon as one of the orphans, but it was fortunate for me that Michael sent me to you to take care of. You helped me out of the darkness, a thing Michael never used.
 * 13299.jpgAbel: I really thank you for that, and now when I saw what the other orphans had become, I realized that it was by God's grace for me to meet you. Therefore, allow me to do my job for you as a gratitude.
 * 45582718_p0_master1200.jpgSforza: Abel, like I told you, vampirism is not really a kind of disease. You should not die for it, young man. I should set out. A boy whom I was taking care of was going mad, and that was the last thing I want to see. Even so, you can accompany me. Don't stop me from my own decision.

Sforza then stood up from her chair, struggling herself to stand straight. Abel tried to say something when suddenly, Sister Kate appered in the office very rashly. ''Sforza and Abel both looked at the hologram of Sister Kate rushed into the room. She tried to say something but soon she changed into another mood of being bewildered. Then, she sighed.'' ''Sforza was sweating nervously, but not because of her inner pain. She had a bad feeling about something that was yet to come. After some nervous breathe, Sister Kate had finally spoke.'' Both Abel and Sforza felt horrified when Kate muttered the following words.
 * Sforza: I should had already set out to save Mary Spencer in order to let her take my virus-infected blood, the only weakness for the Byzantine Parang according to my files. I did not since I found Matt and Magilou had handled all of this. When I am out, I think I can handle both of these things very soon.
 * Sister Kate: [Cardinal Sforza! Father Abel!]
 * Sister Kate: [Sorry, I forgot to knock the door.]
 * Sforza: No need. Just tell me what happened.
 * Sister Kate: [It's Esther. She had... She had...]

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Sister Kate: [She had gone to the Corazon Camp!] 

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> 3 meters away from Campamento Corazon 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Gate of Corazon Prison 

The fight between Sister Paula and all of those Duchess Asran impostors were stalled because they all sense some horrid troubles, starting from the yelling of Carl. ''The sudden berserk of Carl had made the strategies of both Melancholia and Maria faced a sudden brakedown. Due to the situation, Paula clenched her teeth bitterly and raised her weapon.'' ''Before Villian, the reall Asran and all of those impostors could react, Paula the raised her blade and rushed towards one of the Asrans. She sliced the throat of that "Asran", and that Asran dropped herself dead on the ground, revealing her true face as an Agnese Force nun.''
 * Paula: Firenza Junior...
 * Paula: Now, since the time is running out, I will let out my attack to kill ALL OF YOU...

Everyone looked at the scene were apalled and had their jaws opened in horror. ''Narrowed her eyes, Paula took a look at the bleeding corpse of that Anglican nun and scoffed in sheer rage. At first, she wanted to toy with those imposters to torture all of them with slow and painful way, but the sudden berserk of Firenza Junior had brought her plan a sudden altering.'' ''Asran immediately raised her staff and it opened, releasing a beam of pale blue aura. She released the aura, all the while scanning them on her imposters, revealing them as Villian and the nuns from Agnese Forces as well as Russian Orthodox Church.'' ''A horrid bellow had bursted out of nowhere, prior to the gate of Corazon Prison suddenly blew up into pieces, due to a sudden slash. People were all shocked by the news and looked at the scene in horror, even to the shock of Sister Paula.'' ''The name "Carissa" made people around froze in fear. The nuns of Agnese Force looked around, feeling utterly apalled. They all watched as the door of Corazon Prison had broke down and collapsed, causing a violent wind with duststorm.''
 * 13802.jpgPaula: ... UNTIL I FIND THE KEY!
 * Asran: She's losing it...
 * 17859903_p0_master1200.jpg: Since you are determined to do so, we don't need to pretend it anymore! Now, we will fight you fair and square!
 * ???: Fair and square? You 1,000 people fought we 400 people? You still have the nerve to call it "fair"?
 * Paula: That's...
 * Villian: CARISSA!

A tall figure with red dress could be seen in the midst of dust, holding her sword and walked out of the door while holding her new sword. ''With sheer madness, Carissa wide opened her eyes, yelling towards the sky all the while grinning, just as Villian watched the broken gate in horror... for a reason - several prisoners had escaped the Corazon Prizon.''
 * Carissa: NOW, EVERYONE WHO WAS CHAINED BY THE FOLLOWERS OF CATHOLIC REBELS, HUNT THEM DOWN! NOW, BURN EVERYTHING TO THE GROUND!
 * Asran: No way...
 * Villian: How did you come into the prison with no key, Carissa?

Although neither Asran nor Villian found Mary Spencer there since the Patriarch chained her inside the deepest part of its dungeon, they were both shocked by the escaped prisoners. Carissa gloated her words and swiped her sword on the air in amusement. Some of the members from Agnese Forces were shocked by all of this, but some of them did not hear the threat clearly. ''One of the Agnese Force nun named Caterina was apalled and confused by Carissa's words, thinking Carissa was talking about "furry". Certainly, Carissa was not amused by this. She crossed her arms immediately and shook her head quickly.'' With a devious smile, Carissa the raised her sword before pointing it towards the Agnese Church. ''Carissa then leaped towards the midair and jumped at the middle of the crowd of nuns, making ways for the criminals behind her and standing right beside Sister Paula. Sister Paula was apalled in surprise, but soon she regained her composure.''
 * FileIndex_v18_258-259.jpgCarissa: Ha, we have such a helpful cousin, my dear sister. He went mad, right? It is fortunate for me that the yelling of his, combined the evil energy he released, had broke several glass windows of your prison.
 * Carissa: Now, the only thing for you to do is to surrender the key to Lady Spencer's cell, or face my fury! 
 * FileIndex_v17_190-191.jpgCaterina: Or face your furry what?
 * Carissa: Not "furry". FURY!
 * Carissa: All of you, attack!


 * Criminals: AHHHHHHH!!!

''After Carissa's immediate order, all of the escaped criminals had flooded themselves out of the prison gate. They rushed towards Asran, Villian and the nun, and were currently way outnumbered. The Agnese nuns were apalled in horror when they heard gunfires coming from the side. The papal knights was shooting at them, making Villian furious.'' ''Just in time, Misha Kreutzev immediately raised her left hand and created several energy shield to block everyone from the bullets. Unfortunately, there were still several nuns were shot and injured.'' ''In fury, Villian raised her sword and smashed it towards Carissa, clashed with the sword of light inside Carissa's hand. Carissa narrowed her eyes in malice as the two confronted each other fiercely. The Agnese '' Not far away beside the two sisters, Asran used her energy spear to attack Sister Paula, who dodged the attack all the while defending, attacking and mocking Asran with a cruel smile. Duchess Asran raised her spear and eliminated several papal knights and criminals that were trying to attack them, but their number seemed never decreased. ''The fire and light had crowded throughout the entire Corazon Army, and the entire Campamento Corazon were effected by the thunderous voice of explition. It became just another place of bloodbath. Asran had pressed her hand on the wand of hers even tighter. She released a large amount of electric energy and slashed it upon Paula.''
 * Villian: So that is how Papal Knights worked under that maniac Michael Langdon!
 * Misha: Hang on, guys!
 * Agnese: We are surrounded!
 * Lucia: All the works that the Family did in these one and half month was undone!
 * Villian: CARISSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
 * 13804.jpgCarissa: Why, another familiar place.
 * Sister Paula: Tell Maria Arzonia that her plan and strategy seemed childish, pale and weak in front of this unexpected turn of event! After you hand me the key towards the dungeon!
 * 13789.jpgAsran: NOT IN ONE MILLION YEARS! I WILL NOT LET YOU WIN THIS BATTLE!

''Paula dodged it and the energy, which hit some of the papal knights. The energy was so powerful that it struke several papal knights down. Sister Paula then looked at the baleful energy released by Asran. She clenched her hand on her blade and was ready for the next round.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Sister Paula: Then you can pay with your life!

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

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

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

''After learning about Esther's leaving, Cardinal Sforza immediately rushed into the Room of Executives and looked at the wide opened room. She saw no one in the room, only four seats silently inside the room, in the shapes of four card suits respectively.''

In the order of the distance between a seat to the door (from far to close), the suit seats could be gave out in this order:
 * Spade - Carl Robinson
 * IMG_7719.pngDiamond - Magilou
 * Heart - Maria Arzonia
 * Club - Matt Butcher

''All four of them were empty, unlike usual. It was the place where Maria had all four cheif together in a rendevous in order to open a meeting. However, now all four executives were absent. The Hall of Suits was now completely empty. Even so, Sforza assumed that Esther was hinding in somewhere.'' ''Sforza was deeply worried about Esther, seaching her behind all of the four seats. She knew that someone under protection like Esther cannot go to Hall of Suits so quickly.'' ''Sforza was getting more and more worried, but then she narrowed her eyes and calmed herself down. She rewinded the behavior of Esther in recent days.'' Suddenly, before Sforza could have an idea, a voice of mumbling started to appear in corner. ''Sforza was surprised before she looked back on the Seat of Suits. She suddenly saw someone sitting on the Seat of Diamond, with their body shrouded in shadow.'' Abel immediately asked in surprise, but soon, as the mysterious person stood up, Abel, Sforza and Kate suddenly realized something in horror. ''Looking at the person in his or hersilhouette, the three executives of AX wide opened theirr eyes in sheer horror when they had realized something went terribly wrong. If Esther was getting towards the Corazon Prison, she was definitely trying to free her elder sister.'' ''The person walked out of the shadow and revealed... herself, being a young girl with long blond hair and icy blue eyes, resembling Maria. However, she was much shorter than Maria.'' ''The blond girl gave the letter to Cardinal Sforza, and Sforza get the letter before reading it, while Kate and Abel looking at it. It was written by Esther. What Esther wrote on it made Kate, Sforza, Abel chilled in her spine.''
 * Sforza: Esther? Esther? Where are you?
 * Sforza: If she is not here, there where is she?
 * Sforza: Wait, if someone like Esther went to Corazon Camp, but she was neither hiding into the Hall of Suit or appearing in the offices...
 * ???: She went to the prison of... Hey, how did you say "heart" in Spanish?
 * Abel: Who are you? What do you mean?
 * Mary.Spencer.full.1681976.jpgSforza: You mean...
 * Sister Kate: she went to the Corazon Prison?
 * Sforza: It is... It is impossible! Can't she see the fact that Mary Spencer cannot be released now? If there is...
 * ???: I had just met Esther before I went to seek Maria Arzonia for help, Cardinal Sforza. She never saw me, but she dropped this letter on the way. She must found Maria absent in the Hall of Suits, and she left, without knowing I have the letter in my hand.

Esther's letter
Dear Maria Arzonia,

''I am sorry, Maria. I appreciate all of your efforts of protecting me and my sister, but I cannot simply wait till she was rotten. I need to free her. I did it all for her, since she is only one I could truly trust here. I don't mean that I cannot trust you, but catching rumors of Pope being a monster seems unacceptable to me. I need to relase her so that you can have time to save her, before that evil spirit could take over her.''

''I believe His Holiness is innoncent. Some kind of malevolent spirit had haunted him. I felt torn of myself about standing against you. I know you did so much, and I appreciate with you, but I guess it is not my time to stand behind and hide. I had it enough.''

''Since Carl Robinson cannot keep his promise in not killing my sister, I will do this all by myself. '''I have stolen the key of dungeon from Duchess Asran before you set the guarding work. Sister Paula will find nothing.' I also found the secret tunnel from the Hall of Suits to the dungeon.

''I knew it was traitorous and you will punish me like what you did to Magilou, maybe even worse. However, I have my own family by blood, and I need to save her. I hope you could understand her situation. If she wants the throne, I can give it to her. While my people being assaulted by members of Mafusa Gang, how can I sit comfortable on that throne?''

''Considering the situation was getting worse, I need to do this so that you can have a chance to save her. Keeping her inside the dungeon was not the solution at all. Please forgive me. This is the only way I could protect her.'' <p style="text-align:right;"> Yours, 

<p style="text-align:right;"> Esther Blanchett 

Real World
''Feeling nothing but utter shock, Sforza looked at the letter and cleched it inside her frail palm. Abel was looking at the letter all the while being fully unconvinced, but Kate's expression was otheriwise.''
 * Sforza: Esther... had done... such a foolish thing...

''Sforza was so horrified when he dropped the letter on the ground herself while shivering in terror. She cannot imagine that Esther was still falling into such a delusion. The love to her sister had blinded her, very obviously.'' ''​Abel, Kate and Sforza realized the time was running out. They had a horrid expression as if they saw Melancholia grinned wickedly in their head, announcing her victory upon Catholic Rebels.'' Snapping out of his vision right before the two others could, Abel immediately looked at the blond girl and questioned her in a face of horror. ''​The three were stunned in apalling expression and looked at this visitor in shock.  The blond girl glared at Kate, who immediately gone quiet. It was true. The guards must had recogized this visitor as an intruder... because she was supposed to be one with the Catholic Rebel's enemies. Sforza had no alternate choice but going to Corazon Prison. Mary Spencer was the first priority.'' The visitor only nodded and smile after her name was revealed by Sforza.
 * ???: See? I was not lying in here. I heard Firenza Junior had gone wild. If he saw the sisters, he might kill them both. You must stop Esther to free the letter right now, and I will help you to find her. Making her to the dungeon was exactly what Mother Superior... no, it was exactly what Melancholia wanted.
 * Melancholia: (vision) * Ha, now I win! Esther might be in your camp, but she remained on my side! Therefore, it is a war that you will lose at the very beginning! *
 * Kate_Scott.jpgAbel: When did you saw her?
 * ???: 10 minutes ago.
 * Sister Kate: Why don't you try to tell us?
 * ???: Can't you see I was hiding myself away from your guards?
 *  Sforza:  Now, we must go to the dungeon as soon as possible! This visitor, I don't know how you defected from your side, but you must give me a reason after this is ended. You are coming with us, and don't you dare do any stuff that will make us in danger! Come now...



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

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

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> 10 meters away 

''The berserked Carl kept attacking the other people beside him. Trying to protect others and calm Carl down, Vasilisa sprayed the Water of Life on Carl's body, but nothing was effective on him.'' ''Vasilisa muttered the words out of sheer panic, and the panic was so contagious that everyone beside her had felt chills on their spines. Shocked, Maria could only look at Carl in horror as the latter grabbed her neck with his claw.'' ''​Maria immediately summoned Chain Viper and tied Carl up, but Carl broke the chain easily. The pieces of fragments coming from the shattered chain had fell on the ground like drizzles, but they soon merged together into one chain again.''
 * Vasilisa: This is not effective on him. This is not brainwashing. This thing inside Carl is a true demon king!
 * Maria: Carl... can't you recognize me?

In sheer anger and madness, Carl bellowed at Maria with a hideously twisted face, so distorted that it was hardly a face. ''In Maria's vision, Carl's face had changed into a skull covered by utterly hideous scales that was greyish green. Maria immediately used her light magic to cast away the evil Carl, but Carl was not hurt at all, only being sent back some meters away..''
 * Reckless.Fist.(Raven).full.1332247.jpgCarl: Exactly! You changed, Maria! You kept a traitor - no, a murderer - no, a traitor murderer alive inside the dungeon only due to her sister's annoying pledge of keeping her alive?! Do not tell me that kind of useless teaching! I had it enough!

''The face of Carl became more and more menacing and twisted. His eyes was glowing in orange and was as nutty as a fruitcake. It looked like Carl had turned into someone else... or something else entirely. Carl raised his claw before he clashed with Matt's sword, whom the latter raised to defend Maria.'' ''Carl bit his lips when he saw his best friend had turned against him as well, fueling his rage. Behind him, there were corpses of Russian Resistance soldiers everywhere.''
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.1332240.jpgMatt: Carl, please snap out of it! No matter who you are, you cannot do such a traitorous and murderous thing! We are at war with our real enemy, Carl!

''In rage, Carl attacked Matt in the most fierece and menacing manner as much as possible, fighting him with his fist. Matt had defended himself with rapidly swinging his blade to cover himself from the fist of Carl, while Carl was berating Matt in rage.'' Accompanied by his minions as well as Magilou, Patriarch Krans had blown away the dark energy that was released by Carl, and the Patrarich witnessed all those things Carl could acheive when he went mad, much to the horror and distraught of the Patarich. Krans then raised his fist and wide opened his mouth, calling out a war cry.
 * IMG_7715.pngCarl: I know you are like a coward, Matt. You stayed neutral on the task of dealing with Lady Spencer, but your hypocrisy cannot hide away from me! You already want her dead since she tried to betray us and kill us all. That was only because you haven't got that guts.
 * Oscar_Cut-in_(ToB).pngKrans: This is why Michael Langdon craved so much on the blood of Carl Robinson, and this is so terrible.

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

''Krans leaped into the air and ejects six green blades that then fire green lasers in a straight line, with each blade firing at a different angle. Seeing the cloud began to build during t Vasilisa heard this war cry and imediately reacted in sheer horror, but she could do nothing else but watched as a bright and stunning release of emerald aura began to occur on the body of Patriarch Krans, pretty much to her horror.'' ''Before Vasilisa could stop Krans from attacking Carl, there came a slash. The Evil Carl had left his former position and raised his claw. He appeared behind Vasilisa in a quick speed like wind. He raised his claw and was about to slash all the way down towards Vasilisa.''
 * Vasilisa: No, this is outrageous! You will die!
 * Magilou: WATCH OUT!

''In the time of danger, Magilou raised her card shield and shielded Vasilisa from the attack. Matt and Maria had a chance to rest, looking at Carl with horror in their eyes.'' ''Maria frowned her eyebrows and bit her lips. She watched as the Patriarch tried to attack Carl using his techniqhe of Cloudburst, while Magilou and Vasilisa was all in their battle stance. Maria held her hand on her chest and hunched, feeling exaustated.'' ''All of a sudden, Maria then spat lava blood from her mouth, feeling tortured due to Carl's fierce attack fueled with demonic power. Carl's attack had madly slaughtered many of Maria's comrades, and Maria was feeling so horrified when she saw people dying in front of her with despair.'' Before Matt  ''The radio voice went across the entire HQ as far as the yell of Carl, and Maria felt her heart became strained all of a sudden due to sheer horror. She had realized that something happened in Corazon Prison, possibly due to Carl's sudden berserk that caused everything went into a massive meltdown.'' ''Feeling urgent as well, Krans immediately slashed the demonic energy that was trying and raised his hand, summoning a golden chain and binded Carl, who was struggling and trying to break free. However, he could not no matter how hard he tried.''
 * Matt: No, how can this be? I have never sense this before. It don't make sense.
 * Maria: It was apparent. This was like a time bomb going exploded, for some reason which triggered it. I guess it is because... Carl was entering his full power, and so did the demon inside him. It took over his soul and merged with his dark side. I bet even if Carl returned back to normal, he will be even more frosty... unless we find a way to strain his inner demon.
 * Matt: Listen, Maria...
 * Cardinal Sforza: (voice) [All units, all units, this is an emergency! Gather every troops that are freed from duty, and all executives must gather to Corazon Prison immediately! This is an emergency! This is an emergency!]
 * Maria: Corazon Prison... Emergency...
 * Maria: Patriarch!
 * Krans: Quickly, go to Corazon Prison! I have a horrid feeling about this. I will handle Carl and buy you time!
 * Matt: But...

''Maria wiped the lava blood from her mouth and clenched her teeth. She was enraged by Carl's sudden act of murderous rage, but she also felt sorry for what Carl had became.'' ''Maria then sighed and decided to strip Carl from his Pica Executive seat until she could find a way to cure his sheer madness. She did not want to do this, but making Carl in this situation as Pica was a danger towards the entire New Family of Arzonia.'' ''Magilou had summoned a clone of her to fought on her behalf alongsdie Vasilisa and others, while her true self had immediately went towards Maria. Now, Maria was worried about the situation of Trebol and Diamante Camp, which she cannot figure out who had invaded there and how her friends could endure such an ordeal.''
 * Maria: Forgive me, Carl...
 * Magilou: Maria, let's go!

<p style="text-align:center;">' Even so, she felt that there was some invicible power that was tearing the entire Catholic Rebel apart. '

<p style="text-align:center;"> 700 meters underground 



While Cardinal Sforza, Abel, Sister Kate and Sumireko (who somehow betrayed Melancholia) was running in the long underground tunnel of laybrinth, Esther had already arrived in front of her sister, who looked at the latter in full of resentment. Lady Mary Spencer's eyes became red with full of wrath, and her menace was as same as (if not worse than) the wrath of Carl who gone berserk. Mary Spencer's expression did not change, albeit turning mildly confused.
 * Mary: What are you doing here?
 * The_Pope.jpgEsther: Sister, I am here to say sorry to you. I was too weak to stand against His Holiness, since he is our benefactor. If I have know about the plan of his, I will oppose him as soon as possible.
 * Mary: What are you talking about?
 * Esther: Mother Superior said that Carl Robinson is a monster, and I began to suspect this when he refused to make promise not to kill you.

Esther's Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Spin-Off - Firenza Junior - Symphony of Madness 

''Carl had just learned about the murder of Jane Joyce Jocelyn that was pinned on Mary Spencer, and he saw Esther crying in dismay beside him. Despite having his own troubles of trusting Esther due to her own trust to the current Pope, Carl felt somehow sorry for her.'' ''Tres then looked at Carl with no emotions in his eyes, as if he was mechanically modified and was already programmed to follow someone's order. Sforza shook her head and chuckled. Carl was surprised since he hardly saw this Duchess of Milan smile.'' '' Tres was made into a KnightWalker Cyborg?  That was quite a shock to Carl, who looked at Tres Iqus. Tres still had no emotions on his face.'' ''Sforza then turned back into her serious face. What she tried to say was cut off by a ring on a telephone beside her. She immediately answer the telephone and would hear a female voice.'' ​Sforza was shocked when she heard the female voice from the other side of the phone. ''Then, there were no voice coming from Mary Spencer, who cut off the communication. Cardinal Sforza widened her eyes in shock.'' ''Sforza's words had shocked everyone in the room, even including Esther. Even someone like Tres was visibly surprised. Noelle stood out immediately with her eyes widened.'' Carl stood up as well, feeling shocked and enraged by Mary's incrimination. Just as Carl was about to finish, the cell phone of his rang, and Carl widened his eyes with shock. Then, in front of everyone's bewildered face, Carl immediately answered the phone. On the other side of the phone, it was the voice of Matt Butcher. Carl widened his eyes and bit his lips. Carl immediately hung the phone and bit his lips. Carl then sighed as he looked at Sforza, who looked down on the table. Carl was not quite understand. Sforza steadily stood up and closed her eyes. Carl then sighed before he suddenly widened his eyes. ​Abel immediately turned his attention to Carl, who looked at him with full of curiosity Abel crossed his arms and looked at the young man. Abel shook his head in disapproval. In a dark face, Abel then turned to Carl and walked closer to him, whispering. ​Carl was amazed when he heard Abel said all this, and he was also curious. ''Utterly confused by such a vast information, ​Carl lowed down his head and fell into thoughts. Then, he looked up and faced Abel.'' ''Esther sat there and bit her lips. Abel used a very deep voice and spoke those things to Carl, since he did not want Esther being broken by such a horrifying revelation. Esther never interfered their conversation, either.''
 * 34816.jpg: I was just worrying about Esther and her sister... Just no matter how hard we tried, Sister Paula got away with the blade. I hope things will get better.
 * 13295.jpgTres: I hope that girl is a tough cookie. I hate to say this. Sometimes, however, you have to accept the truth.
 * Sforza: Tres, I can't expect that you know how to share concern on others, but that is still not passionate enough. I am sorry that you were captured by Eckidina who made you into a Cyborg, but fortunately, you are far from a killing machine. It was good to save you from the service of King Hamdo.
 * Tres: I am still a machine, but I am your own machine, Cardinal Sforza.
 * Sforza: Hmm...
 * Sforza: Hello?
 * MarySpencer27.jpgMary Spencer: *phone* [Cardinal Sforza, please come quickly with the Patriarch. Matt Butcher and Magilou had killed an innocent people on their sight, and they were responsible for the death of Jane Judith Jocelyn. So now I am apprehending them. I will get them as soon as possible.]
 * 12487.jpgSforza: Matt and Magilou killed Jane Judith Jocelyn?
 * Noelle: Cardinal Sforza, I can vouch for my brother! He can never do such a thing! He was with us all along during Fiamma of the Right's attack!
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.1445564.jpgCarl: I can prove Matt's innocence as well. He hates crimes, but he would not kill a criminal if he never know them. Matt had no interactions to Jane Jocelyn and never knew about her crimes at all!
 * Carl: Excuse me.
 * Carl: Hello?
 * Matt: (phone) [Carl, we found the culprit. It was Mary Spencer. The Byzantine Parang had took control over her, and you must send someone to come here as quick as possible. She tries to kill us both.]
 * Carl: Uh... No way! Don't worry, buddy. Maria was on her way, and I guess it won't last long before you are saved. Thank you.
 * Carl: Matt is in danger. Fortunately, thanks to the help from Princess Villian, she had gained the Chain Viper back. Now, I assume she was on her way to save those two guys.
 * Sforza: It seems that I have to take actions if anything happens. I know how that Byzantine Parang works, and I know its weakness. I guess I can nullify its effects with my own blood.
 * Carl: Your blood?
 * Sforza: After all, I am someone who is about to die. I need to die for saving all of us before the things went out of control.
 * Reckless.Fist.(Raven).full.1728658.jpgCarl: Wait a minute, may I ask Mr. Abel a question?
 * Abel: Yes?
 * Carl: I still have something about that Aleister... or Cain... that made me confused.
 * Abel: What is it?
 * Carl: If your brother was rendered to be a mortal by Michael, then does that mean he would be killed like a normal man?
 * Abel: Not really, he might feel the pain inflicted on him and would be wounded, but once his body was destroyed in a fatal way, like you cut off his head... The dark spirit of Cain would be released and caused the mayhem across the Vatican. My brother has the power to destroy the entire Vatican. If he gets released from his human bones, he would be freed and do whatever he wants.
 * Abel: The most terrifying thing is this: Michael fully knows what will happen if he had "Alesiter" executed. After all my brother's vessel, the body of real Aleister, is nothing but a dispensable pawn for both Michael and Cain.
 * Abel: After seemly killing "Alesiter" if he really does, Michael would release Cain's true power even if he had himself killed.
 * Carl: How do you know that?
 * Tb24-chibi-abel2-frame.jpgAbel: While working in the AX, I used my phychic power to see Michael's mind. He not even values his own life if he can have the world turned into a living hell on Earth.
 * Carl: I see. Thanks for the explanation.

''Carl nodded and then looked at Esther. He felt sorry for her, but he thought Mary Spencer had to be utterly punished for her crimes. Even so, Carl felt guilty that he had such a feelings. After all, Mary Spencer never acted on her free will.'' ''Esther suddenly called the name of Carl, and Carl widened his eyes and looked at her. Esther stopped crying, but her sad expression remained.'' ''Carl was a bit of distressed and hesitated when he heard this. Carl had now considered Mary as a traitor since she killed someone that the Rebels never permitted her to kill. She also framed his best friend, Matt, for murder. Therefore, Carl deemed her deeds to be utterly unforgivable whatsoever.''
 * Esther: Carl?
 * Esther: If you go to help my sister from the curse, can you promise me that you will make her survive the ordeal?

However, Carl felt pity for Esther, and he did not know what to answer. ''Esther was furious when she heard Carl saying such words. She was so furious that she immediately reached towards Carl and slapped him in the face.'' Looking at the young girl with a sad sigh, Carl swiftly stood up. Then, Carl walked out of the room with the following words, making everyone else surprised and fell into thoughts.
 * Carl: Esther, I will see what I can do, but I can't make a promise that your sister will definitely survive the ordeal. I will do my best, but if she is gone too far, she needs to be punished.
 * Esther: Why?
 * Reckless.Fist.(Raven).full.1632106.jpgEsther: Carl Robinson! You broke the good impression given to my beloved Pope Michael, someone who saved me from that wicked living hell and helped me when I was in need! I was tolerating enough to but your pack of lies! Now, you said you cannot keep my sister alive and will punish her! What kind of amoral man are you?
 * Carl: I don't know what I am, but I know what I can be.
 * Esther: She is my sister. Promise me. You will keep her alive.
 * Carl: I'm sorry to disappoint you, dear Esther.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Carl: After all, I cannot make a promise that I can hardly keep.


 * Esther: ......

Nowadays
''Esther's voice was shivering in horror. She cannot believe in Carl's words. She did not know which was the real him, the menacing and harsh one, the calm and soft one, or both of them. Even so, the most cared person in this world shall be no one but her own family.'' ''The Langdon Orphans, the "family" that sheltered her, built by a man who saved her and her sister when her mother committed suicide. She cannot betray the Pope and stand against him, no matter what he had done. She believed that Michael did those atrocities not out of his own free will, failing or even denying to see who Michael Langdon truly was under his pretense.'' Mary Spencer was hearing this, and slowly, she had gained some parts within her humanity when she saw Esther in tears. ''In recent days, people in Kiev could see a large brown hawk flying above the urban zone. People had been curious, but no one had really care why a hawk appeared in the city. Maria Arzonia suspected that the hawk was a pet from their enemy, but due to the recent crisis, she failed to have any time to capture the hawk and slowly forgot it.''
 * AlfonsoBorgia.jpgEsther: At first, I assume Carl was trying to protect me, but then I got the informations from Cardinal Borgia's hawk, who sent his letter.
 * Mary: Cardinal Antonio Borgia's hawk?

''The hawk belonged to Cardinal Antonia Borgia, a more neutral cardinal in the current Papal state of Catholic Church. Cardinal Borgia sent his hawk to overlook the place of Russian Resistance for several days. He could understand what his hawk "say" to him, and therefore he got vast informations that no one could get.'' Lowed down her head, Esther sighed and she closed her eyes, shedding tears in sorrow and rage. Esther lifted her head and looked at her sister with her watery eyes filled with tears. ''The words made Mary Spencer horrfied. Her eyes widened in horror and her throat was strained. She was horrfied when she thought about Maria's words before the latter left the prison. "I kept you alive for your sister."''
 * AntonioBorgia-29.jpgMary: What did he say in the letter? And what did the hawk tell him?
 * Esther: Cardinal Borgia warned me about Carl, whom he claimed as a dangerous man. He said this for a reason that the hawk saw.
 * Mary: A reason?
 * Esther: Carl Robinson wants to see you dead, sister. The hawk saw the executives made a poll in the Hall of Suits. Maria voted for saving you, Magilou voted for keeping you in this pit, Matt abstained from voting... and Carl voted for execution.
 * Mary: So, he...

''Esther shivered in sadness and horror. She immediately grabbed the bar of the cell and started to cry in despair.''

''Esther became sadder and sadder before she knelt on the ground, broke down crying in despair. Her face was utterly distorted due to sadness. Her cries had been filled in the entire dungeon.'' ''Feeling sadder and sadder, Mary Spencer watched the crying of Esther. Those were true tears and true sadness. Then, tears began to streamed down from her cheek. The black materials that covered her arm was slowly retreating.'' ''Just then, the door opened and Cardinal Sforza opened the door, with a pair of eyes full of anger. Abel and Kate were behind her.'' ''Nevertheless, all of them were stunned in shock when they saw Esther crying on the ground. She had cried so hard that she even ignored Sforza's question.''
 * Esther: I cannot lose you, Mary Spencer... You are my only family by blood in this world. You can take my throne. I knew what my mother did. I found her diary recently, and I realized that you was driven by fury, not evil.
 * 714534153.jpgMary: So Carl never cared about you... I can see that. He just can't see why Maria is still keeping me alive... and therefore he is so selfish.
 * Sforza: Esther, what are you doing? You know this is !!
 * Esther: That night, Mother Superior came to visit me in my dream, warning me about Carl... and then I was wary of his behavior. He voted for your execution. Now, he was out there, killing his own comrades in a violent rage that no one could explain... I will not let him take your life, sister!

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> Esther's room 

''In a night which the stars were blurry, Esther was sitting in her room napping, but soon she felt something strange on her spine. Esther opened her eyes. She heard a familiar female voice in a deep and soft vocal style that was even clearer than the voice of a female radio reporter.'' ''Esther turned back and then she saw a white-haired female figure dressed in purple armor. She smiled at Esther as the latter went to her and hugged her. The figure was, no doubt, Melancholia.'' Melancholia patted the hair of Esther softly with a smile on her white face. Melancholia then narrowed her eyes and her face had turned more and more serious. The words of Melancholia made Esther surprised and frowned her eyebrows. ''Melancholia then narrowed her eyes, very seriously. Her face had darkened. She then rolled her eyes and had an idea. She decided to make up a lie in order to make her words being convinced.'' ''​Esther soon recalled the letter written by Michael, telling Esther to come to the Russian Orthodox Church. She widened her eyes when she remembered it. Seeing Esther's reaction of being remembered, Melancholia smiled once again and nodded in satisfaction. Then, her face turned sadder and her smile frozed into frown.'' ''Melancholia then narrowed her eyes and became more and more serious, even to the point of scary. Esther became afraid, so afraid that she did not notice anything that Melancholia was doing...'' ''Melancholia sighed in sadness. She beagn to sigh and speak before getting a sharp dart from her body. The dart was like a small syringe, filled with very dark red liquid that was so dark that it seemed black in the enviroment light... ''
 * ???: Esther? Esther...
 * Esther: Mother Superior?
 * Esther: Mother, I miss you. How I wish I can be with you again.
 * Melancholia: I know it, Esther. You missed us so much, being so far away from your home country, but this is not the reality. I am now talking to you via entering your dream.
 * Q.Esther-thores4919494.pngMelancholia: Do you know, Esther? In a strange place you never go or know, you should be careful of anyone beside you.
 * Esther: Well, I did not mean that I talked back, but it was apparent that the New Arzonia Family treated me well, and all of them saw me as their sister.
 * [[File:Jeanne_alter_and_ruler_fate_grand_order_and_fate_series_drawn_by_twintails_isshou_tsui_sample-20538a6f4c72907cba8a114d3d25cee5.jpg|thumb|300px]]Melancholia: You poor, silly child. I think you remember the letter written by His Holiness, making you and your sister to Russian Orthodox Church to hide away from the KnightWalkers... if you ever read it.
 * Melancholia: I once stood against His Holiness and Lady Spencer... for the very first time in my entire life. It was for your future, my dear child.
 * Esther: Mother Superior?
 * Reckless.Fist.(Raven).full.1332232.jpgMelancholia: If you were there, you must defent His Holiness to the degree whenever you can, and do not let your sister being killed, because I believe one of those people "sheltering" you will do that... that young man with black-and-white hair and eyes full of fire.

''Hearing this, Esther almost immediately wide opened her eyes and realized who Melancholia was referring to. She was referring to Carl Robinson, the only one who was cold and indifferent to her.''
 * Melancholia: In another words...

''Not knowing by Esther, who was in such a blank astonishment that made her similar to blind. Melancholia looked at that small syringe inside her hand.'' Thinking that the Pope might be killed at the hands of Carl Robinson, Esther was horrified when she heard all of this.
 * Melancholia: Carl Robinsonhad the power and darkness inside his heart. I had sensed it when I saw his eyes. He will consume all of you, and time... is the my only silent but honest witness, who will never do a forgery. I guess he will even kill the Pope one day, much less your own sister, so please take care.
 * Esther: Kill... the Pope...

''Esther was so scared of Carl Robinson that she was always distrusting him and falling into a state full of paranoia whenever she saw him. She was holding her feelings of fear back all the while she was facing her, and Melancholia had taught her this skill to hide her feelings in front of people whom she distrusted.'' ''Esther then blinked her eyes and felt hestitated. She wanted to kill Carl now, but she was frightened that Maria Arzonia will punish her by treachery, and what she did would make Maria shocked.'' As if she had read through Esther's mind as well as the latter's reason of being hestitated, Melancholia smiled in a soft manner. ​"......" ''Then, with a cold and wickedness grin, Melancholia disappared. Esther failed to sense the malice within the mood of Melancholia, since all she felt deep into her heart was her fear on the evil Carl... alongside her doubt whether Carl was really pure evil.''
 * Melancholia: You seemed distrust him like he distrust you. He definitely distrust you, since he was falling into a trap and was captured by His Holiness, but don't worry. This man is such a dangerous monster, and all we need to do is to eliminate him.
 * Melancholia: Don't worry, my dear.
 * Melancholia: Believe me. Even Maria Arzonia will lose faith on him when she sees what he truly is, a monster in human skin who only bring destruction and fear, a coward who punched his family in the face, a selfish brute who is neither grateful or trustworthy.
 * [[File:Jeanne_alter_and_ruler_fate_grand_order_and_fate_series_drawn_by_sushimaro_59217a1c74c1ed0d5503b8225a81f829.jpg|thumb|300px]]Melancholia: The choice is yours.
 * Esther: ......

However, when she looked back, Esther only felt a horrible sting of pain on her neck, as if someone had pushed a syringe inside her . ''With a terrified breath, Esther woke up from her dream and found herself crouching on her desk. She thought it over, and then she sighed, feeling there was an angel and a demon fighting inside her head. She never sensed that there was a small hole on her neck.'' All of a sudden, ​Esther's eyes began to change, becoming filled with red veins.
 * Esther: AHHH!!!
 * Melancholia: With this, you will never be hestitate anymore...
 * Esther: Carl Robinson... no... he must NOT do this! I must prevent him from doing this!

Nowadays
''Abel was shocked to see Esther crying and kneeling on the ground. Esther had turned away from her sister and faced the three people. She raised her hand and then, a green shield was formed between her and all the three people.'' ''Esther wiped her tears and became more and more serious in her facial expressions. She slowly walked towards the lock of the cage, getting the key of the Corazon Dungeon dungeon out of her pocket.''
 * 2489.jpgAbel: Esther, what is going on?
 * Sister Kate: Esther!

''It was key in a shape of heart. Sforza and Abel kept knocking the invisible barrier that blocked their way. Sister Kate was only a hologram made of her subconciousness, and so the can do nothing. Esther's face darkened into a face of emotionless nightmare fuel, becoming cold and terrifying. It was clear that the revelation drove her insane.''
 * Esther: All of our senseless sacrifise are all used on a man who is trying to jeopadize our own men... a man who treats people like meat, a man who brutalized his fellow without harm's way... His name is Carl Robinson.

Esther then pushed the key into the keyhole, all the while Sforza was trying so desperately to knock on the barrier.

<li style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;">''Sforza: Wait, Esther, this is too early! We can keep her alive, but getting her out is...</li> Esther still spoke in her own words without even trying to hear Sforza's pledge.'' ''The key started rolling itself in the keyhole... and the hatred fueled inside Esther's mind...'' <p style="text-align:center;">' - Esther: It is that man who deserves to be in prison cell! '

Afterwords
</li>
 * From Officer: This sixth spinoff episode is perhaps the most dramatic episode of the story, with so many twists. It marks the turn of the story's tone, just like The Corbin Files which its SIXTH episode is also a twist of some sort. It contains many elements that was cut from all the previous episodes. What is more, there is also many new ideas that was come out of nowhere during the productions, like the things connected to the Malice of Moloch which took form after Carl was cursed with The Blackness. I can't say too much about this soul fragment of Moloch for now, but we are now sure that even in the time of World War III, Moloch is far from dying...
 * After this episode, the story will return to its previous cycle, and the main story will present its second sub arc - LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Horsemen Saga - Death Arc: Haunting Past Sub Arc with Moloch himself as the principal villain behind its bad events.
 * This episode is suppose to be the main stage for Sumireko Hanabusa, but I eventually moved more of her actions into the next episode. The next epsiode will detail her reason of her defect as well as the end of this bloodshed. More detailed battles will be described. This episode is mainly detailed on the dramatic changes, and the next episode will explain more mysteries.
 * From CIS: By the way, begining from the next episode of the spinoff, we will present one of our most notable villain protagonists in our works by making Carl deepen into his corruption. Be prepare for a fallen protagonist, since he is neither the first one nor the last one  to fall into that pit of darkness... This spinoff is entirely about both the fall from grace and the redemption, and so be prepared for the scenes like that.
