Lyrics
Why?

Who me?

Why?

Feet don’t fail me now

Take me to the finish line

Oh my heart it breaks every step that I take

But I’m hoping at the gates,

They’ll tell me that you’re mine

Walking through the city streets

Is it by mistake or design?

I feel so alone on the Friday nights

Can you make it feel like home, if I tell you you’re mine?

It's like I told you honey

Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry

Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough

I don’t know why

Keep making me laugh, let’s go get high

The road is long, we carry on

Try to have fun in the meantime

Come and take a walk on the wild side

Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain

You like your girls insane

Choose your last words

This is the last time

'Cause you and I, we were born to die

Lost but now I am found

I can see but once I was blind

I was so confused as a little child

Tried to take what I could get

Scared that I couldn't find

All the answers honey

Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry

Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough

I don’t know why

Keep making me laugh

Let's go get high

The road is long, we carry on

Try to have fun in the meantime

Come and take a walk on the wild side

Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain

You like your girls insane

Choose your last words,

This is the last time

'Cause you and I

We were born to die [3x]

Come and take a walk on the wild side

Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain

You like your girls insane

So don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry

Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough

I don’t know why

Keep making me laugh

Let's go get high

The road is long, we carry on

Try to have fun in the meantime

Come and take a walk on the wild side

Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain

You like your girls insane...

Choose your last words,

This is the last time

'Cause you and I

We were born to die

Melancholia's Mind Palace
<p style="text-align:center;"> Plaisir's Home 

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

With her shining white armor glowing beneath her sun, with her long blonde hair flowing in the wind, Plaisir walked inside the Enchanted Forest and felt the wind flowing beside her face. ''With her face that ceased smiling for thousands of years, Plaisir looked down on the ground and she crouched her knee, putting a white rose on the ground. She was now at the very place where her entired family and friends were burnt down by Moloch, who forced her to be his servant and even gave her a new name... Melancholia.'' ''Just as Plaisir was mourning her parents, several purple mists suddenly flows around her in a shape of pillars. Plaisir's mind was interrupted, and she looked around.'' ''The voice was a dark female voice in an attractive but rather sinister tone. Hearing this wicked voice, Plaisir was almost immediately alerted and looked up, seeing a gigantic red face appearing on the sky.'' Plaisir immediately raised her spear inside her hand and pointed at the shadow. ''As the name contained some magical power, the red face made of toxic fume immediately trembled and started to shrunk down into a more materialized form. Soon, a tall, lean and pale woman with long black hair and pointy ears appeared in front of Plaisir with a face full of arrogance. It was Kaysie Virgo, one of the Twelve Nethers that leads the mysterious Zodiac Demons under Moloch's command.'' ''Kaysie's presence made Plaisir stepped back in horror, despite she was trying to resist her fear. She never know why Kaysie, who was supposed to perish in 2037, happened to appear in her mind palace.''
 * Phyllis: Father, mother... Can you believed that? After 2,000 years, I found someone who loved me, who cared about me, and with his help, I think you'll be avenged. The world now I'm in is inside chaos and mayhem, but soon they'll all begone...
 * Phyllis: He's also a minion of Moloch, but he geniuely cared about me and would do anything to protect me. I swear it. I guess if there is anyone who can avenge you by making the spirit fragment of Moloch his servant, giving Moloch a karmic fate, it's going to be him...
 * ???: I heard it.
 * Plaisir: Show yourself!
 * Plaisir: I know it's you, Moloch's daughter! Show yourself right now... Nether Kaysie the Demon Princess!
 * Kaysie: It looks like that my deducing is really correct, Plaisir. You're now plotting against my father even after you were turning into another person... known as Melancholia.

Kaysie the Demon Princess nodded as she looked at Plaisir coldly. ''Plaisir clenched her fists. In fact, Plaisir hated Kaysie and other Zodiac Nethers as much as she hated Kaysie, as she knew the Zodiac Nethers were created by Moloch and are his loyal "children".'' ''Plaisir gave Kaysie a glare and looked around to her memory. Now, the meadow surrounding her were affected by toxic gas. The grasses all started to fell wither and died. Kaysie poisoned Plaisir's only shard of memory in her past happiness, and that made the latter enraged.'' Letting out a smug smirk, Kaysie sharpened her eyes and maliciously leered at Plaisir, still with that facial mood of arrogance on her face. ​With her smile kept on her face, Kaysie sat on a large chair that appeared out of nowhere. ''Plaisir immediately turned back and narrowed her gaze. Kaysie just spoke everything that she (also her alter-ego, Melancholia) planned all along. In front of Kaysie, Plaisir is like a complete transparent glass statue, and Kaysie and see through her own skin to view her soul.'' ''Plaisir immediately clenched her fists and turned around, narrowed her eyes as if she did some kind of bad decisions that had no way back to reverse it. She was definitely looking for her evil counterpart, who was controlling her actions like Plaisir controlled the actions of her evil counterpart in turn.''
 * Plaisir: I... I thought you died...
 * Kaysie: I maybe died in your future era, yes, but now my true original self is in the past. You're looking at my soul essence who traveled in time and overlook you, despite I cannot really do anything with this so-called World War III.
 * Plaisir: You...
 * Kaysie: I'm jealous to see that you actually outlived me, meaning that I can do nothing to prevent such a future despite I can see it just a little bit.
 * Plaisir: Next time you invade my dream, you should knock first.
 * Plaisir: Also, what's the meaning of this? Why did you poison my nature friend? Kaysie, answer me, or I'll--!!
 * Kaysie: I thought making you into Melancholia can actually get you rid of your stupid past self and fully devoted into Father Moloch's work, but turns out you, Plaisir, you're still living inside Melancholia to restrain her actions, while planning to use Michael to overthrow him...
 * 0dab234d616f167a2093573145c3d922f647489f.jpgKaysie: You also tries to purge humanity with Firenza Junior's blood and then... your own bioweapon known as FOLIE, that has ability to drown all of the continients. Brilliant, but still not enough... since you can only make half of your ideas and decisions come true, while trying to deny those ideas you never like, but you can only deny half of those you merely considered as bad ideas ... Fifty to fifty.
 * Red.Assassin.full.2114333.pngKaysie: Don't worry, my friend. I'll not tell my Father about your plan of betrayl. However, you're just a frog under the well. Maybe, there'll be someone who's gonna show you just how wide and big this world really is. Because of Melancholia, you're not always in control in your action. Working with  Astaroth King ? Ha, are you pulling my leg?

However, she had to draw her sight back on Kaysie. Kaysie let out a noblewoman laugh as soon as she sensed Plaisir's anger. Hearing Kaysie's words, Plaisir suddenly had a bad feelings as soon as she heard Kaysie mentioned " him "... Plaisir angrily clenched her fist and started to sweat.
 * IMG_3011.jpgPlaisir: You... I might make that terrible and bad mistake working with the Black Cult, but I know Astaroth King for many years, and I believe all of my efforts - despite half of them are acted out of my free will - will paid off in saving humanity and bringing them to a better era Michael promised to me!
 * Kaysie: Don't worry, Plaisir. I know how you feel, but don't you dare betray my father, ever. If you have any thoughts of betraying Moloch, I'll send "him" to destroy you...
 * Plaisir: "Him"? You must be mad.
 * Kaysie: Don't forget... My minions planted "his" crystal inside your loved one's body after he made his pact with my father. Once our Empire's plan to alter the timeline gets into the motion, Michael shall release "that person"'s power out of his body to become "that person"'s vessel. Trust me. Even Michael is my father's puppet, and he can't save you. You can't save him either. If you have any attempt to betray Father Moloch, "that Nether" will force Michael to kill, making you feel too late for regret.


 * Plaisir: You mean... "that Nether" is...



<p style="text-align:center;">' - Plaisir: ... your strongest Nether Brother... Sorensen... '

''Hearing the name "Sorensen", Plaisir felt a chain of coldness climbing upon her spines. She was alerted because Kaysie was referring to a Zodiac Nether that could not be described as merely powerful or insane.''
 * Kaysie: Yes, it's Brother Sorensen...

''In fact, neither the power nor the behavior could be used as standards to describe Sorensen's villany. Even till the World War III, Sorensen Sagittarius was described as the most terrifying Zodiac Nethers the world ever saw by the hiding remnants of the Order of Flourish.'' Chuckled deviously with no qualm, Kaysie gave a devious grin and nodded. ''Kaysie then stood up from her chair and clenched her fist, raising it towards her face. Then, letting out a grin, she opened her palm.'' Plaisir shook her head and sighed. ''Plaisir then closed her eyes and turned away. The toxic fog became thicker beside her, and Plaisir could hardly see Kaysie clearly despite they were close. Plaisir was immuned to the toxic fog, which could definitely kill a human 1,000 times.'' "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
 * Plaisir: Kaysie, you must lost your mind. You'll know how horrible Sorensen really is. Even till today, many people who knows about the details of the Period of Tribulations still felt chilled about that fiend... Nether Sorensen the Demon Prince!
 * Kaysie: Glad to see you know that... Good for you.
 * 1512807872395.jpgKaysie: As long as Brother Sorensen is still inside Michael, with no one stronger than Father Moloch to help you destroy him, your attempt of betrayl could be nothing but a mere drawn pie, having no use to remedy your own starvation for justice! You can't always rely on the Astaroth King, can you? Do you remember the first day you met her... while you acted as Melancholia?
 * Sascha_Vykos_VTES.jpgPlaisir: It was irritating... The Astaroth King just complained that I crashed her television rather than having a serious talk with me. Fine, I don't need them, but I would like to see you all get your just deserts.
 * Plaisir: Besides, I need to tell you that Vykos' grandson survived his grandparents. I just put an end to his life... to his misery.

''Much to Plaisir's surprise, even if she spoke her words in a rather casual tone, Kaysie was panicked all of a sudden. For the first time since the beginning of this unexpected encounter, Plaisir sensed fear on Kaysie's face.'' Kaysie acted in calmness all the while she told Plaisir about the warning she was given to her (as well as Melancholia inside Plaisir), but she reacted in sudden shock as soon as she heard "Vykos' son". ''Plaisir nodded and smiled. She finally found a chance to strike back on Kaysie.'' ''Kaysie's face turned blue. It was true that she wanted to have the child killed in the past, but after hearing Plaisir's words, Kaysie immediately sharpened her eyes. She saw the future falling into unknown under the circumstances of killing Vykos' grandchild with her own ability. That was the weak spot in Kaysie's weakness. She cannot see the future results if her intended actions caused a time paradox, and she had to seek the future out herself.'' ''As Kaysie was speaking, Plaisir suddenly felt she was hoisted by someone from behind. Plaisir turned back and saw her alter-ego, Melancholia, but instead of wearing armor like that of Plaisir, the true dark form of Melancholia shown herself as a more diablolical-looking woman with more exposed outfit.'' ''The Evil Melancholia held Plaisir in her claws, and Plaisir was choked so hard that she could hardly speak. Then, she began to lose concious once again, allowing Melancholia's evil half taking over her body again.'' Meanwhile, with a scornful expression, Kaysie looked at Plaisir, with her eyes sharpened. Kaysie chuckled maliciously as she saw Plaisir being consumed by the shadow of Melancholia once again, and Plaisir's eyes was hollowed and vacant. Letting out her curse again, Plaisir then started to be consumed by Melancholia's darkness once more, as Kaysie began to cackle and soon disappared into the darkness.
 * Kaysie: Vykos' grandson!?
 * Kaysie: You mean that Vykos' daughter, who was said to consume a rare elixir to purify her child, gave birth to her child?
 * Plaisir: Don't tell me that you're about to find him or his mother. That can only cause a time paradox and you'll never even know how the future will like if it's totally messed up.
 * Kaysie: Fine, you win. You'll take care of that grandchild of Vykos in future, but you should allow Melancholia to do the job!
 * Plaisir: I... don't...
 * Kaysie: This is all you get for trying to play tricks and backstab my father, Plaisir. You think you can make the Malice of Moloch in control, but you're wrong. One day, it'll unleash its true strength once again, and then you'll cowering in fear. You'll not even have time to cry for any chance to be forgiven.
 * Plaisir: He'll pay for what he had done...

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

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> 0:10 PM 

Melancholia sneezed and wide opened her eyes, looking around in confusion as she was awakened from her nightmare. ''As she started to regain her senses, Melancholia felt chilling in the room and started to tremble, not because of the breezing tempreture of the room (as a matter of the fact), but because the feelings of fear that came from inside. She immediately found herself a coat and wore it, but it never helped.'' ''While trembiling in fear and couldn't say her own English clear, Melancholia immediately grabbed herself a mug and pour herself a cup of hot chocolate, before drinking it. Then, she sighed and was relieved.'' Melancholia then turned her head to the door, as she started to think about her conversation with Kaysie in her own mind palace. Just as Melancholia was speaking, an attractive female voice appeared not far away.
 * Melancholia: AH-CHOO!!!
 * Melancholia: Ah, it's only a dream...
 * Melancholia: C-cold... My inside cold...
 * Melancholia: Ooh, I feel much better now.
 * Melancholia: Nether Sorensen... Is that true?

''Melancholia lifted her eye lids and looked at a female figure standing not far away. The figure had long black hair and a mask which covered the half of her face. She was wearing a black coat and was like a male aristocrat from 19th century's France. The most chilling part was her hands. Her hands had no skin and her muscle and tissues were exposed in the air, with her nails being replaced by sharp blades that all covered in blood stains.'' ''The person in front of Melancholia was none other than Kouko Kaminaga, but her appearance was so different from the day she found out Sumireko's betrayl... Now, Kouko had turned into some sort of humanoid monster becuase of Melancholia's spell, and she gained demonic powers like some of those who served Moloch as his servants.'' Kouko answered in a icy cold voice emotionlessly. "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ''Melancholia immediately forgot all of her stress and coldness. She slammed her mug of hot chocolate on the table, which cause some to spill out on the table. Then, like a frightened lion, Melancholia leaped from her couch and clenched her teeth, glaring at Kouko.'' ''Kouko had never seen Melancholia being such angry before. She immediately stepped back as she saw the face of Melancholia twisted in rage.'' ''Melancholia then lowered her head and started to tremble in rage. In just days, like Maria, it seemed that Melancholia met several setbacks that made her very upset as well. It was possibly because of her own negelagence, since Melancholia was too focus on bringing the outside world down without paying any attention to the problems inside her own faction.''
 * ???: Mother Superior?
 * Melancholia: Oh, it's you, Kouko.
 * Melancholia: What is it?
 * Kouko: Nio Hashiri went missing. It's also said by Duo Iqus that Nio was suspected to steal a vial of Firenza Blood kept inside the City of Vatican, Mother...
 * Melancholia: She what!?
 * Kouko: M-Mother...
 * Kouko: Are you okay?

''Although, Maria often blamed herself for her neglagence when things went wrong. However, in contrast, due to her Knight Templar personality, Melancholia never blamed herself when things went wrong. Instead, she blamed others who MADE things go wrong.'' ''After slamming her table with her fist, Melancholia took a deep breath and tried to cool herself down, and Kouko looked at Melancholia nervously. Then, Melancholia rose her head and looked at Kouko.'' Kouko shook her head. ''In turn, Melancholia then lowed down her head as she started to cool herself down. She took another sip from her mug of hot chocolate, with a sigh full of sadness.'' ''As soon as she heard the name of Sumireko Hanabusa, Kouko then sharpened her gaze as she listened to Melancholia's words patiently. Kouko was rather disappointed that Sumireko betrayed Langdon Orphans, and she let out a sigh as soon as she started to show concern that Nio could actually do the same.'' Hearing that even Esther and Celestia were in Nio's possible plan, Melancholia then closed her eyes and clenched her fists. Nodded in politeness, Kouko bowed in front of the Mother Superior. Kouko then walked to the door and yet, she stopped all of a sudden. Melancholia was confused that Kouko stopped. Kouko took a deep breath and acted nervously. Melancholia immediately frowned her eyebrows and felt something went so wrong. ''Kouko gulped and blinked nervously. Melancholia took another sip of hot chocolate as soon as Kouko spoke out.'' "PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!"
 * Melancholia: How could this happen? How could THIS happen?
 * Melancholia: Has anyone else out of this place know this?
 * Kouko: No, Mother.
 * Melancholia: Fortunately, it's not Shinya. I put a doppelganger of hers in charge to guard Maria Arzonia when she arrived in Switzerland, because Shinya is very... very important to me and my entire plan. It's a shame that Sumireko betrayed me, since she cannot accept Shinya in Mahiru Banba's body. Judging by their own budding friendship, they could be a wonderful and dynamic duo enforcing my plan.
 * Fate_grand_order_joan_alter_casual_by_cerberusyuri-db1f7a6.png: Mother, allow me to capture Nio back to me. Judging from her personality, I guess she's somewhere in the world trying to bring some chaos out there with the vial she stolen. Also, Celestia Ludenberg went missing as well as Esther, who was recently released by His Holiness from Vatican, and I suspected that this had something to do with Nio.
 * Melancholia: I suspect that whatever Nio was planning against my will so far, it must has something to do with Abel Nightroad. I think it's rather pleasant, as I believe Nio takes her own actions to punish Abel for turning his back on us, but I agree to call her back. I'm afraid she'll get loose.
 * Kouko: As you wish, Mother.
 * Kouko: By the way, Mother...
 * Melancholia: Yes, dear?
 * Kouko: I remembered that there's one more advice from Fiamma of the Right and Father Aleister, which they sent to me, hoping to gain your approval.
 * Melancholia: What is it?
 * Kouko: To put Guinevere in our action for a short while...

''Before Kouko could finish, Melancholia was so shocked by her words that she immediately spitted the chocolate on the wall not far away. She seemed shocked after hearing the name "Guinevere".'' Melancholia then put her cup back on the table and started to walked from the right to the left and to the right again, walking in a circle. "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Melancholia immediately forgot about the coldness, and the mug on her hand fell on the ground, smashed into pieces, with chocolate spilling everywhere on the floor. Never seeing Melancholia so angry before, Kouko somehow reacted in fright and began to step back. ''Kouko nodded and immediately went away, and Melancholia sat back on the seat in fraustration. Then, an illusion started to appear, where her foremost creation, FOLIE, went on a rampage to slaugher all humans in its sight and destroy everything like a feral beast.''
 * Saber.(Miyamoto.Musashi).full.2239441.pngMelancholia: Guine-WHAT!? Guinevere?
 * Melancholia: Guinevere... She's no less dangerous than Nio, and she's arguablly much less controllable...
 * Kouko: Well, Father Aleister said that he would only make her to go out for a little while in order to contain Matt Butcher and Patriarch Krans--
 * Melancholia: Patriarch Krans!?
 * Melancholia: He's still alive!?
 * Kouko: I'm sorry, Mother Superior...
 * Melancholia: Not at all. Tell Fiamma and Aleister to release Guinevere right now! This whole mess needs her to clean it up!

Act 1 - Abel in Danger
<p style="text-align:center;"> 1 minute later  <p style="text-align:center;"> Novosic Kingdom  <p style="text-align:center;"> On the streets 

''Injured, sad and humilated, Lidvia Lorenzetti trembled herself on the streets of Novosic Kingdom in an extremely weak voice. She looked around and tried to hide herself on the streets, before in sheer desperation, she patted her own pocket.'' She felt a hard lump inside it. ''Trying to hold back her pain inside her chest, Lidvia coughed blood. Her trembling hand grabbed the phone from the pocket, and she tried hard to dial Maria's phone number.'' ''Lidvia then finished dialing the nember and took a deep breath, waiting to make a phone call. She was so desperate that she felt she was burning from the inside.'' ''Meanwhile, unbeknowest to Lidvia, a shadow appeared behind her and stood 3 meters away, looking at Lidvia with silence. 1 second later, the shadow figure silently grinned.''
 * Lidvia_lorenzetti_18882.jpgLidvia: Abel, Abel... where are you?
 * Lidvia: Arzonia's smartphone...
 * Lidvia: (think) * Sorry, Maria... I failed you... *

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

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

''As Maria was preparing for their next motions as she and her friends were about to get to London, her phone rang all of a sudden. Maria immediately gasped in shock and her words were interrupted by this sudden disturbance.'' ''As people around looking each other with confusion, pretty much due to such an untimely phone call, Maria got her cell phone inside her hand again. Fortunately, it was not from Melancholia, but from another ally of hers.'' Hearing the name Lidvia, all of the people turned to look at the phone in Maria's hand with awful shock. Angelene looked at Lucia beside her with worry, and Lucia still maintained her cool and narrowed her gaze. As the two nuns discussing, Maria already answered Lidvia's call.
 * ToB_Teresa_Artwork2i.pngMaria: Now, there's no time to waste, and we're now gonna---
 * Maria: What happened?
 * Maria: Lidvia Lorenzetti...
 * Angelene: Sister Lidvia? What happened to her?
 * Lucia: Not sure.

''Before Maria could finish, Lidvia's voice full of desperation came out of the phone all of a sudden. She seemed to be crying in despair.'' ''Maria suddenly widened her gaze. A bad feeling started to rose out from her her and started to flow from her throat. She stepped back in fright, while trying to maintain her own calmness.'' Maria could only hear Lidvia sobbing desperately, as the latter started to babble as if she gone crazy. ''The throat of Maria began to feel strained all of a sudden, with a horrified expression appeared on her face. Maria was still in guilt for all of the loss she suffered, and it was natural for her to heard that there were another friend of hers being captured... Now, the worst fear inside Maria' own mind was that the person who was captured was none other than...'' Maria's voice had turned into a desperate roar, and Lidvia's response was both tearful and terrified.
 * Maria: This is Arzonia speaking. May I---
 * Lidvia: (phone) [Maria! Oh, thank God! I made it! Aw, please, please forgive me...]
 * Maria: W-what happened?
 * Lidvia: (phone) [I failed in my escort mission... I was about to escort HIM to you, but I failed... They found me and found out my allegiance with you. They also captured him and took him to London...]
 * Maria: WHO DID THEY CAPTURED!?!?

Lidvia's Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> 3 hours ago

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

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

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

''Lidvia bit her lips as she rowed her boat on the river of Danube. Thanks for the help of some members in Catholic Rebels, who found her a month ago, Lidvia had regained her former sense with the remedy of the Water of Life, thus finding she was used by Michael Langdon. In a fit of retaliation, Lidvia secretly joined the Catholic Rebels.''
 * 810a19d8bc3eb135803579faa61ea8d3fc1f4485.jpgLidvia: Can't believe that you lost your way, Father Nightroad. Fortunately, you met me. If you met others from Michael's loyalists, you're screwed.
 * Abel: Many thanks. By the way, how was the Middle Europe? I just found that Michael attempted to influence this region with his forces.

For now, Lidvia spied into some sub-factions of Michael's forces in order to send message for the Catholic Rebels after the death of Mary Spencer, while pretending to be a loyalist to Michael as before.

When Abel stumbled into Western Europe in order to find Cardinal Sforza who had gave herself in to Michael, Lidvia picked him up in Novosic Kingdom and rowed him on the river of Thames. ''Lidvia then narrowed her eyes in rage. In a fit of rage, Lidvia immediately rowed the boat faster as she got more and more tensed.'' ''Abel immediately panicked as he found that Lidvia was getting unnerved. He immediately stood up and put his hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her.'' ''Lidvia immediately lowered her head and blushed in embarrasement. She slowed down the pace of rowing boat and sighed.'' ''Hearing this, Abel reacted to Lidvia's words with a worried face. He covered his face with his palm.'' ''Lidvia only looked at the river in a face of sadness. She looked at herself in the water, illuminated by the limelight not far away. Lidvia sighed and closed her eyes.'' Lidvia then looked forward in a stern face. ''Abel was looking at his own reflection from the surface of river, which reflected his true self - a pale vampire with gray face, red eyes and pointy teeth. However, when he heard Lidvia said "Switzerland", Abel was terrified and immediately raised his head in horror.'' Abel immediately stood up in anger as he stumbled to Lidvia, as she was still speaking. ''However, Abel immediately narrowed his eyes and grabbed Lidvia's shoulder, forcing her to stop speaking. Lidvia was panicked and immediately turned back in shock. Abel's eyes turned red and revealed sharp fangs inside his mouth. Lidvia was shocked and panicked when she saw Abel's wrathful expression.'' ''Before Abel could finish as he suddenly turned darkened, Lidvia furiously slapped Abel in his face. Abel stopped yelling and his face turned back to normal, as that slap made him snap out of his sudden burst of blind fury. Lidvia bit her lips and yelled at Abel in rage.''
 * Lidvia: Recent days, there are Papal Knights arriving into the Kingdom of Novosic, as Sonia Nevermind had signed a permission to allow Michael's forces into her realm as a part of their deal, according to Magilou.
 * Abel-Nightroad-abel-nightroad-20167890-704-396.jpgLidvia: Curse that hypocrites... To think I once held that damn charity fair with HIM!!!
 * Abel: Lidvia, calm down. We're in enemy territory after all.
 * Lidvia_Lorenzetti_Novel.jpgLidvia: Oh, well... sorry. Fortunately, I made a special protective shield to make our boat invisible. Nobody will see our boat or hear our voice. Recently, Sonia might planned something and she raised a curfew during these days. You think I'll risk ourselves? Maybe in my afterlife when I was not even myself.
 * Abel: You're still young. Don't talk about the term of death so early, please. We lost so much during these days, and I don't want any loss happen to us ever again.
 * Lidvia: Time runs dry. All mortals shall one day die, and I'm one of the mortals, right? However, thanks to Maria Arzonia, who saved me, I can finally find a meaning of my life, and I'll make Michael Langdon pay for what he did to all of us.
 * Lidvia: By the way, Father Nightroad, after we rowed for another 1 kliometers, outside enemy territory, I guess it's time for me to teleport you to Switzerland.
 * Abel.Nightroad.full.114053.jpgAbel: Switzerland? Not Vatican?
 * Lidvia: That's where Maria was. I heard that she had escaped from danger along with valuable info--!!
 * Lidvia: Why?
 * Abel: You tell me? I once thought we should head to Vatican and save Cardinal Sforza and Esther, before we go to Switzerland to pick up Maria! Cardinal Sforza and Esther are both in Vatican, and now we should save--

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Lidvia: Listen to this, Abel Nighroad! As far as I know, Cardinal Sforza shall be escorted to London by inquisitors, which I never knew why! Besides, don't forget that you took the Firenza Blood vial with you unwittingly! Going to Vatican right now shall make you fall into another trap, with Esther as a bait for you to get hooked! Now, let's take a deep breath... and you get off my shoulder AT ONCE!!!'

''Hearing Lidvia's ranting in rage, Abel then closed his eyes and paced back, returning back to his old human form. He was feeling sorry that he lashed out to Lidvia because of his inner impulse. Lidvia then sighed and picked out her own smartphone inside her pocket.'' ''On the phone, there was a message, a chilling message. Whenever Lidvia viewed the message, she felt chill coming towards the top of her spine.''
 * Lidvia: Abel... There's something I need to tell you before everything was too late.

<p style="text-align:center;">' Capture Abel Nightroad in sight and send him to London, or there'll be consequences.  <p style="text-align:right;"> Nio Hashiri '



Gulped, Lidvia closed the cell phone as soon as she finished viewing this unsettling message. ''Bitting her lips till they started to bleed, Lidvia had to push the words right out of her own lips in guilt. She was feeling bad now, but she had to tell the whole thing to Abel.'' ''Much to Lidvia's surprise, however, Abel shook his head in calmness instead of falling into angst and horror. He seemed quite calculated with it.'' ''Abel then took a look at his pocket. He saw a vial full of blackish-red liquid inside it. He suddenly felt how ludicrous he was to take the vial unwittingly from him in his search of Sforza.'' ''Hearing Abel's perisistent words, Lidvia lowed down her head and closed her eyes, ashamed. Her face slightly blushed because of her inner guilt.'' ''Even after she joined Catholic Rebels, Lidvia was still drenched of her feelings full of guilt and all those hardships, since she found her crimes under Michael's control unforgivable. She killed Sister Agata, an innoncent nun, and framed Acqua of the Back for his crimes. After being captured and saved by the Water of Life's effect, Lidvia faced the wrath of Acqua and Vento of the Front, but Maria and Matt actually calmed them down and gave Lidvia a chance to redeem herself.  As Lidvia was lamenting, her rowboat slowly closing towards the dock, where they'll go on the land, thinking they had left the urban areas and went into the suburb, where the guarding was actually weaker. The boat the rode silently closen towards the dock, where it stopped.'' ''Looking aside to see if there was any danger, Lidvia slowly drew her large sword, and she went on the land. Abel slowly followed her without saying a word, as Lidvia slowly mubmling her words softly.'' "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ''Before Lidvia could finished with a proud smile, an arrow suddenly fired to her, and Abel pushed Lidvia down to avoid it. The arrow flied straight into the river, narrowly missing both of them. Standing up, Lidvia immediately turned back with horror and shock.''
 * Lidvia: Abel... we need to get out of here. Nio Hashiri found out that we're here, and she sent me a message. She wants me to turn you in.
 * Lidvia: We cannot fritter our time away any longer. We need to get out of this place before our enemies spotted us. If you can pretend that you're captured by me--
 * ​Abel: Ah, Lidvia, don't worry. I won't pretend to be a prisoner, since if they come for you after knowing you turned against them, I'll be the one who'll protect you from them. After all...
 * ​Abel: This is my fault to fall under my enemy's radar, and I'm already waiting for them to find me. If they do, let it breath. There's no need to pretend. In spite of this, I won't let you get hurt. Maria spares you since she feel sorry for you, and she wants you to atone your crimes under Michael Langdon's brainwashing. Thus, without her permission, I won't put you in danger or I'll face her punishment.
 * ​Lidvia: Thank you, Abel... I cannot expect that Maria actually gave me a chance to atone my sins under Michael's...
 * ​Lidvia: Well, don't worry. I changed my mind. I won't give you in, not even fabricating it. However, if you say you want to finish your unfinished buisness with Michael, get in line 'cause ladies first.
 * ​Lidvia: Well, here we are.
 * ​Lidvia: Don't worry, Abel. I changed my mind. I'm not gonna give you into those beasts, not even--
 * Super.Danganronpa.2.full.2185719.pngAbel: Incoming!

Abel stood up and had a same reaction as well as they saw several Novosic Kingdom soldiers standing not far away alongside some Papal Knights. ''Abel can't actually believed his eyes as he saw Papal Knights in the place of the Novosic Kingdom. What brought them more horror was the person standing in the middle of the knights.'' ''The female person standing in front of them is a tall young woman with pale skin and a pair of red eyes. She was wearing a dark green skirt and disguised as a citizen, but her distinguish feature was actually the one which sold her. Lidvia recognized her immediately.''
 * ​Lidvia: Novosic Kingdom soldiers? With Papal Knights?!
 * ​???: I actually doesn't want to do this since I despise "him" as much as you both do, but "he" won't actually let us go.

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

(- Narrator: It was not until that fatal event almost two months later where she gave her life in a fatal battle against the mercenaries from the cruel and evil Manufacturing Progressive Sciences.) ​Sonia then turned her head to another shadowy person behind her with a face of disgust. ​''Letting out a devious chuckle, Nio Hashiri revealed herself between two Papal Knights. What was more terrifying to Lidvia and Abel, was that they saw Cain Knightlord and Carl Robinson behind as well.''
 * Sonia: I can't believe that Maria Arzonia is actually still alive... or she returned back to life as a Spirit like someone I met before... but that's for another day. You guys should know that before the coronation of Pope Michael Langdon, he struck me into a deal with him. Under my permission, Michael added his own forces of the Church into all of the streets, making them in need of the neighborhood's total security and survelliance. I don't like him at all, but he's now standing on the same side with me. I'm also developing busy with myself, doing some... plans, which hold some great importance, but your unwelcomed and sudden presence makes me have to stop you by myself.
 * Sonia: Don't you think so, Nio Hashiri? Is this really necessary to call me for such an action?

Abel was so surprised that he cannot speak a word, while Nio chuckled and narrowed her gaze. ''Nio's hypocritical words didn't make Sonia take any interest on her. Instead, she turned to Nio seriously.'' ''​Nio frowned her eyebrows and looked at Sonia, as if she was looking at a liar. Nio then looked at Cain, but Cain only looked at Sonia suspiciously, as Carl didn't make a move since Cain didn't order him to do so.'' "........................" ''Sonia let out a dark and triumphant smile. She did not seem to jest. In turn, Nio suddenly felt strain in her throat listening to the words of Sonia, feeling that she suddenly lost her ability to say.'' ​''While still maintaining her doubtful face, Nio stood down and followed Sonia's instruction, but she just took a stare at Cain, giving him some message. Then, Cain silently nodded, knowing what Nio wanted him to do.'' ''Before Sonia finished, she suddenly changed to a softer face. She was now standing just two inches away from Lidvia and Abel, and Lidvia still glared at Sonia in rage.'' ''Sonia's whisper was so deep that Nio and others, who were far away, didn't hear one single word. Abel and Lidvia are the only two people who could hear what Sonia said, which made them surprised. Lidvia almost let out an eerie screech, but she controlled her impulse since she knew she was on hot water now. Then, Lidvia narrowed her eyes and stepped back, also whispering to her.'' ''Sonia looked aside with a sigh and slowly put her finger on Lidvia's lips. Her expression was very serious.'' ''Sonia closed her eyes and turned back to Lidvia with guilt. She spoke in a deep voice, in a quick speed and yet a fluent speaking so that Lidvia could recognized what she was on about.'' Even after hearing Sonia's story Lidvia was still doubting Sonia by giving her a distrustful look. Without any hestitation, Sonia got a note out from her pocket and pushed it into Lidvia's hand. ''Lidvia widened her gaze. It all happened to quick that she couldn't realize what was happening. However, before she could react, Sonia immediately stepped aside and grabbed Lidvia's sword, stabbing her own leg with it.'' "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ''Despite the situation made her had to whisper, Lidvia immediately yelled out in panic and horror. However, Abel acted more calmer and quickly followed into his own character within Sonia's play.'' ​Abel then immediately transformed into his vampire form, becoming a towering red-eyed creature with sharp fangs and large wings. He immediately hugged Lidvia in his arms.
 * ​Nio: My, my princess Sonia, please don't look at me in that way. I'll be embarrased. Just tracking down Lidvia isn't a hard task, as I already added a track-down program inside that message I sent to her, and her route shall be, fufu, eating out of my hand. I mean, that route shall give itself away to me, even if I don't intend to track the route down! Even a fool can figure it out, you know.
 * ​Sonia: Allow me to take them in. Don't let others interfere. I don't want any bloodshed to happen, considering its unneeded in an action for merely capturing two people.
 * Sonia.Nevermind.full.1949692.jpgNio: Then, what should we do during you talking them in?
 * Sonia: Actually, nothing. You play scarecrows and don't look, hear or move. Remember what we dealed before? Since this is my kingdom, and neither the Pope nor Mother Superior here, I'll be the one who's in charge of leading this capture. Isn't that what we said?
 * Nio: Uh, be that as it may...
 * Nio: Well, no problem, but... no less than 3 minutes.
 * Sonia: Lidvia Lorenzetti and Abel Nightroad, in the name of Novosic Kingdom, you're arrested...
 * Sonia: (whisper) * Don't worry. I'm not gonna arrest you. Just keep your voice down. *
 * Lidvia: (whisper) * Why should we believe you? If Arzonia Brothers weren't hired by you, Maria won't suffer so much in your wicked attempt to raise chaos... *
 * Sonia: (whisper) * Listen, I'm on your side, for now. I'll tell you everything. *
 * Lidvia: (whisper) * I wish you would. *
 * Sonia: (whisper) * Michael Langdon is the one who stole the Grand Grimore and caused that coup in the United Kingdom. He forced me to hire Arzonia Brothers and killed other cardinals to pave way for his way to the Pope. I'm also a victim of his petty manipulation, and I'll mend it myself. Now, there's only 2 minutes left before those people blow your head immediately in sight! *
 * Lidvia: (whisper) * Why should I trust you? *
 * Sonia: (whisper) * Take this to Arzonia as a token for my goodwill. It's about Michael's final project which can ruin this world, even worse than Firenza Blood. Maria needs this note. She's the only one who can put a stop to Michael's utter madness and free that friend of yours - the young man they called Firenza Junior - now. After that, burn it to the ground. Nio and those Papal Knights cannot see this. Now, stab me and run away as quick as possible. *
 * Lidvia: SONIA!
 * Abel: WE WON'T LET YOU ARREST US! LIDVIA, LET'S GO!
 * Nio: Guards, stop them!

​ <p style="text-align:center;"> ​- Cain: I won't let either of you run away!

''Immediately, Cain took Carl on his back leaped towards the midair and began to fly. They started chasing after Abel and Lidvia. Sonia was surprised to see Cain's vampire form as well as Abel's vampire form before, but she still maintained her calm. Holding back the pain from her injury as her wound started to heal itself, Sonia bit her lips and closed her eyes.''
 * Sonia: (think) * Run away... as fast as you can... Find Maria Arzonia... Tell her that... I'm sorry.*

Nowadays
''The story of Lidvia made Maria took a deep breath in sheer terror, as she was never expected that they were discovered. Of course, Lidvia didn't tell Maria that she met Sonia Nevermind, since she wanted to deliver the note safely to Maria while keeping it as a secret from the troops still hunting her.'' ''Eva stared at Maria with full of concern, but she only mumbled her worry out. She never wanted to disturb Maria, after all'' ''Lidvia shook her head with a sigh. Maria heard the sigh from her smartphone and widened her gaze. She heard Lidvia started to speak in another tone in a more lachrymose behavior.'' ''​Hearing the word "London", Maria immediately gazed wider, almost dropping the phone on the ground. Now, all of the seperated and loose events going on now tied together at the heart of Britain.'' As Maria was still thinking, Lidvia the coughed bitterly, and it was apparent that she was injured so badly during her attempt to escape. ''One second later, Maria then heard Lidvia casted a spell, and then a white note appeared on the midair. As it fell, Maria catched the note with her hand that was not holding the phone. It was the note of Sonia Nevermind, which was just given to Lidvia secretly.'' ''Lidvia's tone seemed calmed down, and then Maria felt Lidvia was smiling despite she cannot actually see it. Hearing Lidvia's words, Maria suddenly felt the weight of responsibility on her shoulders became much heavier. Now, considering the life of Abel was at stake...'' Despite it was unknown why Nio was about to capture Abel, or why Carl became Cain's right-hand in such an action, Maria was determined to get both of them back so that she can know why. ''Then, Maria heard Lidvia bid her farewell and hung up the phone. She looked straight into the streets in a pair of blank and vacant eyes. The phone in her hand promptly slided itself on the ground, but Matt immediately caught it before it hit the pavement.'' ''Magilou then took the note Maria's and took a look. People around Maria began to went forward to take a look, and Maria slowly turned back, seeing Magilou's expression turned from confusion to surprise and to shock.''
 * Eva: Maria, What happened? You looked so... pale and frail...
 * Maria: Where's Abel?
 * Lidvia: (phone) [In order to protect me, he fought hard with Cain... and eventually, do you know what I saw? I saw Carl standing on the same side with Cain, and he defeated Abel... and captured him... I tried to save him, but it was too late... Cain left after he said that he'll take Abel to London... and he took my sword away...]
 * Sonia.Nevermind.full.2035064.jpgMaria: LONDON!?
 * ​Lidvia: (phone) [Please, Maria... I'm sorry that I failed my mission, but... *cough* We don't have much time. Someone I just met had gave me a note, which they said that can let you know Michael's endgame strategy. They claimed that he had a lot more in his plans other than the Firenza Junior. I cannot expose their name since it's not safe here.]
 * ​Maria: Lidvia...
 * Lidvia: (phone) [Get to London now... Stop Michael, stop Melancholia and save Carl. I don't know why he helped Cain, but there must be a reason. We don't have much time now...
 * Maria: Hey, but...]
 * Lidvia: (phone) [I know you're worry about me, but you're a lot important than me, who is just a little humble helper. I'll go back to Ukriane and seek some backup for you. I'll be fine...]
 * Maria: I will. Now, don't stay there for too long. Make sure you're safe.
 * Magilou: Hey, what's this.

Sonia's Note
''Dear Srta. Arzonia,''

''I know you won't forgive me, as actually I pulled you into that dark whirlpool simply because that kind of feelings... to my friend, Detective Kyouko Kirigiri, which made me very weak to Michael Langdon and his wretched manipulations... but I cannot deny that I had no choice. I did everything to my best friend, not wanting to get hurt, but turned out it was all a lie. You were a victim. Therefore, I understand you.''

''That's why I'm relieved to hear you're still alive and well through rumors and later real proofs. That's why I'm counting on you to stop Michael Langdon. When she came to meet me Nio Hashiri accidentally slipped her further plans to me, and a friend of mine had also took some informations when he traveled to Michael's base under the sea, and now I'll tell you all about them.''

The Firenza Blood is only a part of Michael and Melancholia' plan, as they also prepares something bigger and much more destructive than the Blood itself - a living bioweapon that can destroy the world in the form of a mindless and chaotic sea monster.

''Arzonia, now Nio is taking Esther Blanchett to the base of Ukraine alongside Celestia Ludenberg, the real Celestia. I don't know what she was planning, as Nio is perhaps the most deranged person in the groups Langdon Orphans. Melancholia phoned me some time ago to call for another alliance, but I declined. Now, I have my own mission to do, and I cannot cross Michael due to the treaty he forced me to sign, no matter how much I hate him. However, you can. I cannot stop them from capturing Abel, but you can save him.''

''In the end, I'm sorry that my actions of stabbing myself didn't buy Abel time to escape, but at least Lidvia escaped. If you saw this note, that means everything went well. Now, Cain Nightroad is taking Carl to London, as Carl seemly fell under some sort of brainwashing. I heard he's your friend. If you want to save him and stop the evil plans of Melancholia, now it's the time.''

Finally, congratulations that you have a new family and new friends around you, and please allow me to call you "Maria", if I may.

<p style="text-align:right;">Yours,

<p style="text-align:right;">Sonia Nevermind

Real World
​''Maria turned aside and took the note into her hand, without any noticiable expressions on her face. Even so, tears streamed down her face. She could never believe that Sonia Nevermind was secretly trying to help Lidvia and Abel to escape, and she even sent her a note to tell her all those informations...'' ''​After realizing the note was actually from Sonia Nevermind, Matt and Acqua looked at each other in sheer disbelief. They were worried that Sonia was lying. For now, Yuri Barnes was not with them. He had returned back to the Russian Orthodox Church's base of Ukraine, and the members of the Witch Cult will follow and make reinforcements if everything gone smoothly.'' Maria then stood straight and summoned a large golden portal in front of her. As she led her friends all entering the portal, Maria closed her eyes tightly, thinking about the sea monster Sonia told in her note. ''Maria herself has always respected the legendary Ultimate Detectives when she heard about their own fabulous tales, and Kyouko Kirigiri was always on her list of most respected people in the world. In spite of this, when she first met Kyouko, Maria declined her help as she didn't want to make Kyouko to involve into such a mess... In another words, Maria wanted to protect Kyouko, someone she idolized.''
 * Maria: Of course.
 * Acqua: Is she telling the truth or she was lying? Why did Nio took Esther to the base of Russian Resistance and the Orthodox Church?
 * Matt: At least, she told us to be careful with Ukraine. Yuri Barnes is on his way, and I assume it'll save us from the problems, making us go to London. After all, disbelieving Sonia actually won't bring Abel back. At least, we know Lidvia wasn't lying.
 * Kirigiri.Kyouko.full.2062138.jpgMaria: And therefore, Sonia wasn't lying... I assmue.
 * Maria: Now, all we have to do is head to London right now, as Carl and Abel need our help.
 * ​Maria: (think) * Why did Sonia Nevermind tried to help us? Michael manipulated her using her feelings... She and that famous detective, Kyouko Kirigiri... *

''However, now it was apparent that Kyouko was involved into Michael's own dark game ever since the beginning... ever since the Grand Grimoire being robbed... That day changed everything, according to Michael Langdon's own plan. In spite of this, Lidvia was right. Maria got no more time to waste.''

''As she crossed the portal, a sudden thoughts crossed Maria's mind. In her own vision, she saw a young man, with his full white hair and flames burning on his body, was destroying everything in his path with a dark, callous and emotionless face.''



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

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile  <p style="text-align:center;"> Novosic Kingdom  <p style="text-align:center;"> On the streets 

Hanged up her phone, Lidvia looked straight into the dark sky and immediately went forward to the alley, wanting to avoid being discovered by the troops of the Church and Sonia Nevermind's royal guards. ''Covering her mouth and snow with a hankerchef, Lidvia paced into a place full of dark purple mist and started to hid her covers. She then summoned a magic portal and began to leave...''
 * Lidvia: This nation is hopeless...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - ???: Where're you going, Sister? '

A gentle and attractive female voice appeared from the back, and Lidvia immediately reacted to the voice by turning back, looking at a girl who stood not far away from her. ''The girl did look like Maria, but Lidvia believed that she was just another person. The girl looked at Lidvia with a smile on her face.'' Lidvia didn't let her guard down despite smiling. Lidvia then turned back anxiously and narrowed her gaze, trying to enter the portal. Before Lidvia could react, she felt a sudden slam on the back of her head and fell down, just as blood began to stream down from her forehead. ''Lidvia collapsed on the ground because of the heavy hit. She crawled on the ground and trembled. Because she was distracted by such brutal action, the portal in front of her disappeared.'' The girl waved a crowbar and walked to Lidvia with a grin. The girl let out an evil grin once again.
 * ???: May I help you?
 * Lidvia: Oh, I was just hunted down by some bad guys and was about to leave here. You can go to wherever you want, just don't tell anyone you met me here.
 * Lidvia: (think) * I must be quick... I need to get to my friends as soon as... OH!*
 * Lidvia: What happened?
 * ???: You... you are a collaborator of Maria Arzonia?
 * ???: You once killed a nun via using crowbar, under His Holiness' effects. However, turns out you betrayed him, and now I'm here to punish you. I'll take you to Fiamma of the Right, and you'll confess to him. One day, I'll make that wretch who made my family disgraced to pay!
 * Lidvia: You... Who are you?

<p style="text-align:center;">' - ???: I'm the other Arzonia. '

''Lidvia was then slammed by the girl once again, and she lost conciousness as a result. The girl then picked up the smartphone inside Lidvia's hand and put it into her pocket.''

Act 2 - Celestia's Doppelganger
<p style="text-align:center;"> 1 minute later 

<p style="text-align:center;"> After Cain's arrival in London 

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

<p style="font-weight:normal;text-align:center;"> Russian Resistance HQ

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> "Celestia Ludenberg"'s Wake 

Guarding the morgue for days ever since the last battle, Sister Misha Kruetzev was guarding the corpses of Sister Vasilisa and "Celestia Lundenberg" as the Russian Orthodox Church remnants, which now totally relied on Catholic Rebels due to its current leaderless status, hadn't get enough time preparing a funeral for either of them.

Misha stood beside the corpses of "Celestia Ludenberg" and Sister Vasilisa with a sad face. ''Misha missed Vasilisa, in spite of she was always a victim of Vasilisa's harmless trolling. The air itself was filled with silence until Misha opened her mouth and broke the silence.'' ​Breaking her own silence, Misha suddenly spoke out to someone despite she was facing the cold, thin air that was so empty.
 * Misha: I know you'll come here... back from the dead.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Misha: Or... you never died at all... is that right, Ms. Celestia Ludenberg?

''Behind Misha, Celestia stiood with a black-and-white card covering her face. She was smiling coldly and walked further into the room. The blood tainted her skirt, meaning she had a nasty fight against the guards outside.'' Celestia chuckled and she threw the black-and-white card on the coffin that contained "her" dead body, or much more precisely, her doppelganger's dead body.​ ''Before Celestia could finish, Misha was so furious that she immediately slammed the table beside her. If the table can speak, it may actually howl in pain, or it may just complained to Misha, asking her if it did anything wrong to receive such a slam. Celestia was obviously teasing Misha about the death of Sister Vasilisa and the presumed death of Patriarch Krans.'' ​''Misha was absolutely offended when she heard Celestia mentioning the tragedies occured on her best friends and mentors in such a carefree attitude. A bit of shocked, Celestia stepped back and took a deep breath, but then she grinned in malice.'' ​''Misha, however, just firmly looked at Celestia in a face full of distraught. She bit her lips, trying to lock all of the things she knew into her mouth.'' ''As soon as Celestia finished the word "interesting", something settling actually happened. The coffin that contained the fake Celestia suddenly began to shake. Its lid bounced up and down, as if there was something inside it was hitting it with its force.''
 * ​Misha: Ah, Celestia, I'm quite impressed with your assassination skills. I thought you was nothing but an inferior gambler. However, it's apparent that you killed two of our elite guards. For making me having one more reason to get rid of you, this should suffice.
 * Celestia: We have now figure out how your base work, Sister Misha. Now, since both your patriarch and your mentor are gone, with the latter gone for good, why you're still here? I'm the one who're impressed by such a stupid but affectionate persistence...
 * Misha: You have no rights mentioning them! You're nothing compared to them, much less their hair!
 * Celestia: I already heard that Maria Arzonia had escpaed via several new allies, and I heard someone who shared the resemblence to Patriarch Krans were helping them. Tell me, who else you had seeked help with?
 * Celestia.Ludenberg.full.2083743.jpgCelestia: You don't want to tell me? Ha, that's fine. After all, Nio Hashiri is about to enter with Esther Blanchett, and after that, things will get much more interesting.

Misha was immediately alerted as soon as she saw the shaking coffin, but Celestia let out an evil smile. ''Before Celestia could snapped her own finger and made the doppelganger released itself, Misha suddenly rushed to her and pushed her away from the coffin. However, Celestia then gained her upper hand. Celestia quickly stabbed Misha in the leg and knocked Misha's chin with her knee. Misha was hit and fell on the ground.'' Misha the grabbed Celestia's own knees and tried to drag him down, and Celestia fell onto the ground as well, just as she was about to apporach the coffin.
 * Celestia: It looks like the other me is hungry, and for four days of starvation, it has enough insanity gained inside your mind. Actually, if I want it to be unleased, it will, and the whole place would become hell.
 * Sasha_Kreutzev_Manga_2.jpg​Misha: DON'T YOU DARE!

''Now, the coffin itself began to be surrounded by dark red aura. A deep and scary bellow could be heard inside the coffin, as if there was some strong creature inside it.'' ''Misha was still pulling Celestia away from the coffin, and the aura became so intense that it even started to wide spread into the entire morgue. Soon, the whole room was filled with the dark red aura, and the creature inside the coffin - whatever it had become - now roared in sheer rage. Because of the loud noise, the dusts kept falling off from the ceilings.''
 * Celestia: Ah-ha, just do it, as the more the time passed, the stronger the doppelganger actually is. You cannot destroy the creature while pulling me back, Sister Misha.
 * Misha: Curse you!

''What was worse, all the bodies of the recently dead soldiers, who were all lied in the morgue, suddenly reacted to the aura. They opened their coffins and rose from the coffins as mindless zombies, much to Misha's horror. The zombies began crawling themselves to Misha, while still wearing their own uniforms.'' Misha was firmly shocked, but Celestia let out a grin once more, but then it turned to a more serious face.
 * Portal_orange.pngMisha: What!?
 * ​Celestia: If you think my card could only awaken my doppelganger, which were set to fall asleep after it was killed, then you're wrong, dead wrong. It's a invention by Nio, and it can actually affect the dead beside the coffin of the doppelganger, making them to be revived as zombies. Nio said she wanted you to feel what's like to be torn apart by your comrades. I actually don't like such an idea, but I have no other options.

''As Celestia was speaking, Misha's leg was bitten by a zombie. Misha yelled in pain and instantly let go of Celestia. Celestia rose back up and walked to the coffin, while Misha tried hard to attack the zombies that attacked her. Celestia then put her hand on the doppelgangers' coffin, without actually noticing there was a large orange portal appeared behind her.''
 * ​Celestia: Time for...

<p style="text-align:center;"> - ???: Enough of this nonsense!

''Utterly confused, Celestia started at the portal before she saw two people went out of the portal. It was a woman with pale blue hair and a hodded man whith silver hair and red stripes on their faces. The woman was Katya, the current High Priestess of the Witch Cult, accompanied by Valnir Kruls.'' ''They stared at Celestia for a second as the latter began to clench her teeth. The coffins around Celestia opened one by one, and more and more zombie soldiers crawled out one after another.'' ''​Celestia expressed concern and disgust on her face, trying to act very stoic in spite of her nervous sweat drop. She almost spoke the wrong word because she was too nervous. She had assumed that the two visitors are magicians, probably from the Witch Cult, as Melancholia always showed concern on their existence. Despite she hardly know anything about them, Celestia immediately found out her speculation was correct.'' ''​Misha looked at the two magicians with awe. She didn't know about the two, but she was hoping that the two were here to help her instead of messing up with the situation.'' Celestia, on the other hand, immediately raised her fist and yelled some madness mantra. ''The zombies immediately yelled and rushed towards Katya and Valnir. Valnir just started at the zombies before he raised his hand, summoning several large purple magical energy.'' ''Katya and Valnir then fought against the zombies together, while Misha seized the chance and tried to remove the card on the fake Celestia's coffin, wanting to stop the mutation. However, Celestia alreayd saw it. She immediately rushed to Misha and grabbed her wrist.'' ''Misha angrily pushed Celestia away and attacked the latter with her sword. However, Celestia immediately drew a Knave of Club card from her pocket, which bursted into blue flames and turned into another sword. The two swords them immediately clashed together.''
 * Celestia: Huh!?Chain_Chronicle_Screenshot_0640.jpg
 * Katya: I said, enough!
 * Katya_14646.jpgCelestia: Are you backup reinforcements that were invited by the monkey... I mean, by that Arzonia? If I'm not wrong, I believe you're both from the Witch Cult, huh?
 * Katya: What if we are?
 * ​Celestia: KILL THEM! KILL THEM! KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL!
 * ​Valnir: Let's do this!
 * Celestia_enraged.jpgCelestia: You just stop it! You cannot stop His Holiness' magnificent project!
 * Misha: I WON'T ALLOW YOU TO USE SUCH A WAY TO DESECRATE THOSE MARTYRS!

''Unleashing a white energy that eliminated two zombies, which were about to lunge at her, Misha brawled angrily and tried to push Celestia away, but Celestia immediately went serious by kicking Misha in the stomach and lunged her sword at Misha, trying to impale Misha's face with it. Sensing the menance, Misha immediately tilted her head to dodge the attack.''

''However, as Misha dodged the attack, Celestia already leaped to the coffin of her doppelganger while still glaring at Misha with a slasher smile. Katya and Valnir already eliminated much of the zombie creatures with ease, and their attack illuminated the dark morgue.''

When the last zombie fell on the ground and reduced into ashes, Katya immediately turned back to face Celestia, just in time Celestia kicked the coffin with an insane laugh. ''As soon as the coffin fell one the ground, the lit opened. Then, with a putrid smell, a wet humanoid creature, that could barely looked like human, started to creep itself out from the coffin, with expanding black liquid flowing around it.Misha, Katya and Kruel all watched in disgust as the creature started to face them.'' ''​Misha started retching in disgust, just as the black liquid flowed in the place in a menacing speed. Celestia stood on the table, while the corpse of her doppelganger had melted itself into a large pool of black liquid like melted chocolate... except it smelt really bad.'' ''​Then, before Celestia could finish, the body of the creature melted into the black pond, only leaving its head which started to expand itself, turning much larger until it began to reach the celing. The rotten face had also changed... into the face of a monster.'' ​
 * ​Celestia: Then, why don't you join them?!
 * Misha: I know it... Ugh...
 * Celestia: After four days... for days of waiting... this finally got into its fruitful final process!



<p style="text-align:center;">' - Celestia: TASTE THE POWER OF THE PRESERVED DOPPELGANGER!!! '



''Letting out a brawl, he corpse of the fake Celestia then opened its mouth widely as a black arm stretched out of its throat. rapidly transformed itself into a creature that only had a large head, an enormous mouth and several hand-like tentacles.'' As Celestia was talking, the entire morgue seemed to be drenched in a smell combined with rotten flesh and blood.
 * Celestia: Usually, a Frankenstein-esque doppelganger like this revives and mutates instantly after they're destroyed, but * my * own doppelganger is different. It lies dormant after it was seemly killed, until the person which it represents - and of course, it's me - summons it back to life. The longer it slept, the stronger it is! Now, after four days of slumber, it can finally tear you apart!



Misha clenched her fist and attacked Celestia, but Celestia raised her card and slashed Celestia's face before she leaped towards the sky, drawing out her long sword again and fueled it with red energy. ''​Before Misha could express her surprise, Celestia then swiped at Misha with her sword, releasing some energy caused by the slicing. Misha immediately summoned an energy shield to defend herself, as her feet was trapped inside the black pool, like being trapped in a putrid swamp.'' ''Noticing Celestia's words, which indicated that Melancholia knew who the demon - known as the Astaroth King actually is, ​Katya and Valnir immediately leaped to the air and started to fight against Celestia inside the morgue like three jumping fleas, leaping from one side to another. Celestia then turned serious again and fought against the two magicians.'' ​Katya and Celestia were fighting against together, while Kruel also fired at the doppelganger monster several times, as Misha tried to block the tenticles of the monster away, even chopping some of them. ''Enraged beyond control, the demonic doppelganger unleashed several monstrous arms. Some of those arms grabbed Misha's arms and ankles, and some even tried to grab Valnir's ankle.'' ''In disgust, Valnir immediately raised his staff and blasted several magical beams onto the arms, blasting them, but those arms kept coming out. Those arms can regenerate themselves, obviously.''
 * Celestia: It's so apparent that you guys just underestimated me, people from the Russian Orthodox Church. Now, since there're these old magicians from the Witch Cult arrived, now I can make this up to eleven!
 * Celestia: Pleasure to meet you, people from the Witch Cult. Unfortunately, you cannot stop Mother Superior's cooperation with that demon king you're fighting against. She already met that demon king centuries ago! She planned this for a long time till today!
 * Celestia_attacking_Hifumi_manga.jpgKatya: What did you say!?
 * Celestia: (think) * Ah, I see... So this is how this whole magi-tech weaponry of the KnightWalker Family works! With this, I can match with these magicians with ease, just like Eckidina KnightWalker promised me! *
 * ​Valnir: LEAVE ME!

''Meanwhile, Misha was in a critical danger. She was pulled from black pool by the monster's small arms. The larger arm inside the monster's mouth began to stretch towards Misha, grabbing her head in brute force and slowly began to crush it. Feeling nothing but pain and discomfort, Misha could do nothing but closing her eyes, trying to pray for help...'' ''Just in this critical point, another portal entered and a tall man with a heavy armor suddenly appeared with a large magic book inside his hand. It was none other than Yuri Barnes, who arrived at the place with the reinforcements of the Witch Cult.''
 * ???: HERE I COME!
 * Celestia.Ludenberg.full.2036658.jpgYuri: Sorry, guys, for taking so long.



<p style="text-align:center;"> - Misha: I'll kill you!

Act 3 - Nio's Conspiracy
<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile 

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

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

Now, inside the Hall of Suits, all of the four seats are currently empty since the people on those seas are now absent.

The entire camp started to become alerted once again, as the recently fixed system of communication (thanks to Yuri Barnes) had made them finally contacted Maria Arzonia.

Sister Kate Scott was the first one who managed to contact Maria instantly. ''Inside the phone, she heard Maria's voice for the first time in several hours. Sister Kate was surprised and relieved as soon as she heard it.'' ''Hearing Maria's voice, Sister Kate immediately recognized it despite Maria pitched down herself a bit. After all, Maria had a distinctive deep voice like a contralto.'' ''Hearing Kate yelling, everyone in the camp looked at her. Then, they reacted in excitement. Maria immediately responded in a more desperate voice.'' ​Maria spoke in a quick speed and a desperate tone that made Sister Kate confused and surprised. ''As Maria was speaking, all of a sudden, a scream could be heard at the front door. A nun of Russian Orthodox Church was shot in cold blood and collapsed on the floor, mumbling and trembling. A blonde girl stood at the door with a devious grin, while another older girl with red hair and white nun habit was standing not far away from her.'' ''Nio Hashiri arrived in the place with Esther Blanchett standing not far away. Esther was closing her eyes tightly and bit her lips, as if she tried to control some kind of impulse inside her. Peoples including guards, medics, soldiers and refugees were all shocked to see Esther. Behind them, a group of mobsters arrived into the place as well. The group of mob went into the hall with guns and heavy weapons in their hands.'' ''Letting out a mischievous grin, Nio blinked to all of those Russian Orthodox Church members behind, before all of a sudden, the entire building started to tremble. Sister Kate was terrified and looked around, right before she realized that it was the morgue.'' ''Hearing Maria's desperate voice coming from the phone, Sister Kate immediately regained her own sense... but just a little bit. She spoke with Maria in a weak voice.'' Kate then put her phone on the base's speakerphone to let Maria hear everyone speaking.
 * U=406105071,378698493&fm=27&gp=0.jpgr Kate: [Hello? Hello? Anybody hear me? Is that Maria Arzonia?]
 * Maria: (phone, fake voice) [No, this is Mario speaking. Maria Arzonia is now busy. May I take your order on her behalf?]
 * Sister Kate: [WHOA! MARIA, IT'S REALLY YOU! OH, THANK GOD! THANK GOD WE MADE IT!]
 * Maria: (phone) [OK, OK, Kate, I know it. Now, I know where our enemies planned into action, and that would be London! Also, that Celestia in the morgue is a fake! Cremate it before it turns into a monster! I had my new allies into that--]
 * Tumblr_ov0ckihip01s8nccpo1_500.gifSister Kate: [Wait, wait a second. London? A fake Celestia?]
 * Maria: (phone) [There's no time. I'm heading to London in search for Cardinal Sforza, Carl and Abel, and then those people from the Witch Cult - and a man named Yuri Barnes - will arrive to help you! They'll destroy that doppelganger and take you to London as soon as...]
 * D0sfj0f.pngNio: Good Darkness-Before-Dawn, ladies and gentleman!
 * Hashiri.Nio.full.1732269.jpgNio: We're... tonight's entertainment!
 * Maria: (phone) [Hello? Hello? Sister Kate, what's going on?]
 * Sister Kate: [Looks like things are getting from bad to worse.]
 * DQg9_JvUEAEcQ9u.jpgNio: To all of you people from Eastern Europe, I, Nio Hashiri, the most treasured member of Langdon Orphans, now declares the disbandment of Arzonia Family! The entire event is connected to Carl Robinson. According to our most recent information, we came to know that Maria Arzonia is a liar!

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

''All of a sudden, the entire air goes quiet. People around were all shocked to hear Nio's words and then immediately, a burst of screaming and cursing came out all of a sudden. People started to curse Nio for her words.'' Chuckled, Nio then made a mischievous grin and looked at the phone. As a response, Maria's own voice came out from the phone. ''Nio then let out a wicked laughter and walked closer to the phone, but the Catholic Rebel soldiers and the Russian Resistance soldiers all pointed their gun at her in menace. Nio then stopped approaching, but she had no intention to step back, either.'' ''Maria's voice gone quiet, despite the phone didn't seem to hung up. Nio seized the chance and pointed at the phone, as if Maria herself was right in front of her instead of on her way to London.'' ''Everyone took a deep breath because of fear. They knew that Arzonia Brothers were the source of Maria's troubled life, and none of them ever try to remember Arzonia Brothers, treating them as forgotten, but Nio's mentioning suddenly made them felt chill due to fear.'' ''Esther immediately narrowed her eyes and bit her lips, but Nio ignored her. People then looked at Esther and were confused. They didn't understand why Esther Blanchett was in here. However, they dared not let their attentions attracted from Nio.'' ''Nio's words turned more and more menacing, and Esther started to tremble in horror. She, like many people, were shocked to find out that there was a mass killing happening in a town where Carl and his foster parents resided in, taking Carl's foster parents.'' ''All of a sudden, Matt's curse suddenly came from the phone's other side, indicating that he was agitated. However, Nio ignored Matt.''
 * Nio: You might see her as someone who walks on the water, but she cannot fool me. I know many things. I can tell you that she's absolutely a phony!
 * Nio: Right, Arzonia?
 * Maria: (voice) [Sumireko Hanabusa mentioned you to me. You're Nio Hashiri, right? Sumireko said you're the most dangerous of all of the Langdon Orphans. However, if you come here to say something to break my new family apart, you choose the wrong place!]
 * Nio: Then, if you don't want YOUR family be destroyed, why did you broke Carl Robinson's family?
 * 300947.jpgNio: Ha, go on! Defend yourself! Anyway, 4 years ago, when the Robinsons, Carl's forster family appeared in a town, the Mafusa Gang members - Arzonia Brothers - burned down that entire town with their collaborators, and they also killed almost the whole town's population, except one person - Carl Robinson himself!
 * 6548931_p0_master1200.jpgEsther: What do you mean, Nio? If Arzonia isn't here, we should leave! We cannot do this any longer! Ask them about Abel's--
 * Nio: Carl's parents are killed... but despite this is a mass killing, there should be one person who pull the trigger! Then, who pulls that trigger, after all?
 * Matt: (phone) [YOU SICK FREAK!!!]

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Nio: Who caused the first life trauma in Carl's adulthood? Who traumatized him and make him despise and distrust her? Who should take that blame!? '

"..................................."
 * Maria: (phone) [Everyone... That's enough.]

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Maria: (phone) [I am.] 

The air itself suddenly fell completely silent in a dreadful manner.

''Behind Nio, Esther didn't spoke a word as she watched Nio threatening everyone in the Russian Orthodox Church. However, she suddenly felt a shock inside her heart and struggled to the phone, whispering in a deep voice.''

''She couldn't believed that Carl's callous and nasty attitude started to take form because of Maria. Even though Esther had some grudge against Carl, she still had some respect to Maria.'' ''Trying to control her own feelings due to that overdose Firenza Blood inside her, Esther spoke in a weak and deep voice so that Nio won't hear it. Even so, Nio still heard it but didn't do anything.''
 * Esther: It's not true. Tell them, it's not true.

Maria went silent for a moment before her voice was choked with sobs. Before Maria could continue, however, Nio let out a grin to see her conspiracy began to work.
 * Maria: (phone) [It *is* true...]
 * Nio: You see! She admit it...

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

''Panicked, Maria immediately reacted in sheer shock as soon as she heard Nio accusing her. Just before Nio spoke out, another voice came from the phone. It was the voice of Seth Nightroad.'' ''Nio suddenly heard Seth's voice and reacted in shock. She immediately closed her eyes and bit her lips, feeling enraged and starting to tremble.'' Maria's response was, again...
 * Axis.Power.Countries.full.1934981.jpgMaria: (phone) [I had no choice! My brother forced me to do it and the Robinsons accepts their death with a smile! I have no idea that their son was Carl at all!]
 * Seth: (phone) [I can prove her! That night, I saw everything. I saw Arzonia Brothers burning an entire town and killing every people inside! I saw them forcing Maria to kill Carl's foster parents, Mr. & Mrs. Robinson, and I know that the person who hired them is YOU! NIO HASHIRI! YOU HAVE BLOOD OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON YOUR HANDS!!!]
 * Nio: Ahh, Seth Nightroad, you wicked traitor! You're such a fool who quitted our force and becomes a rogue. Now, why are you there with Arzonia? Anyway, I have no intention speaking to you for now. Arzonia! No matter how your damn brothers forced you to do this, if you just don't pull that trigger and let them kill you, Mr. & Mrs. Robinson could still be alive and saved by Carl! Your fault cause their death! You want to deny it?

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Maria: (phone) [No.] 

''Once again, he air itself suddenly gone quiet, as the people were all shocked by such a word. Nio seemed more delighted.'' ''Now, everyone could hear Maria's panicked voice which covered Nio's sadistic accuse. The guards were so shock that they even forget to point gun at Nio. Nio seized the chance and leaped on the office chair, glaring at the telephone on the desk in front of her.''
 * Nio: THEN, YOU'RE GUILTY!

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Maria: (phone) [No! I DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE!] '

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Nio: Oh, Maria, you want to get into troubles again? For all this time, Carl always shows distrust towards you, and now EVERYONE KNOWS WHY !!! ''



''Immediately lifting a hammer from her pocket, Nio yelled in menace and tried to slam the telephone with it, wanting to destroy it, but all of a sudden, a gunfire was shot at the hammer. The power of that gunshot was so fierce that it blew the hammer 10 meters away from Nio's hand. Grabbing her own wrist, Nio reacted in shock and pain.'' ''Nio immediately turned her head and saw a tall and broad man standing not far away and pointing a gun at Nio. It was none other than Tres Iqus.'' As Nio stumbled herself back and fell from the dest to the floor, Tres narrowed his gaze and leer at Nio in an angry face. Nio immediately glared at Tres, and she bit her lips in malice.
 * Nio: AHH!!!
 * Tres: I won't let you continue.
 * Tres: Maria openly said to us that she once was a Mafusa Gang member, and she told us about the crimes she was coerced to commit. She may not told us about Robinson Family's murder, but I believe that's also one of her own wrongdoings that she wants to atone by helping more people! She regretted them and tried to mend them. We all see that. You want to use her dark past to seperate her from us? I, Tres Iqus, shall be the first one to give you my own objection! 
 * Nio: Tres... Iqus... You traitor!

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Tres: And there's more I can tell! Nio Hashiri, the person who hired Arzonia Brothers, the person who manipulated that town burning, and the real person who should be responsible for the death in Carl's family... is all actually YOU!!! '

''Tres immediately pointed at Nio, and everyone took a look at her with shock and rage. Shocked, Esther immediately looked at Nio as well. Feeling upset, Nio's eyes looked at the other side on purpose, but it only deepen everyone's doubts.'' ​Then, Nio found herself surrounded by many people's eyes of shock, anger and hatred, even including some gangsters she took here.. ''Maria's voice came out of the phone once again. She felt so warmed to see people defending her and never bought Nio's attempt to seperate them.''
 * Tres: You think I didn't know what you did? I actually know you a lot! You're the only one of the Langdon Orphans that deserves no pity, for you're a self-made orphan, and you're a psychopath who kills for fun! No one will ever like you!
 * Maria: (phone) [Guys...]
 * 56783324_p0_master1200.jpgMaria: (phone) [Thank you...]
 * Esther: There's more for you to thank, Maria, since I'm now on your side as well.

Speaking the above words that made everyone widened their eyes in shock, making Maria took a deep breath, Esther turned back and immediately leaned forward to Nio in an angry face, as the veins of Firenza Blood effects started to surface from her face.

Esther never liked Nio, but she cannot believe Nio was actually the one responsible for shaping Carl till what he was today.

Therefore, Nio should actually be responsible for every killing Carl had committed, including the death of Mary Spencer. Before Esther could finish, Nio was agiated and slapped Esther, shutting the latter up. ''Esther earned a slap and almost fell onto the ground, and Esther immediately narrowed her eyes, snaring at Nio and enraged. Nobody had ever seen Esther so enraged than before.'' ''​Hearing this, Nio got panicked. She widened her gaze in shock and immediately threw a tantrum to Esther like an immature child.'' Nio ranted at Esther, but Esther gave her a even harder slap in return.
 * Esther: Is that real, Nio? You told me on the way here that Carl Robinson never knows how to love someone, but now I realized that at least he HAS someone he loved. If you're really that kind of rubbish--
 * 6fc26f7adab44aed477ee83eb11c8701a08bfb17.pngNio: Shut up!
 * Esther: Then, I'll poke through more of your lies and show your purpose! I'm NOT going to be your puppet if you come here for malice!
 * Nio: ESTHER! I'M HIS HOLINESS' MOST TRUSTED MINION! BESIDES YOU! YOU WANT TO STAND AGAINST THE POPE AS WELL?!

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Esther: I DON'T CARE ANYMORE! IT'S NOT ABOUT THE POPE! IT'S ABOUT WHAT'S RIGHT!!! '

''Nio earned that harder slap, and that slap was harder for a reason. Due to Firenza Blood's power, Esther gained much more strength and power. She hit Nio's cheek so hard that Nio's mouth began to bleed intensely.''
 * Nio: Damn it! That another vial of Firenza Blood is getting excessively out of control! Stop it, Esther!
 * Esther: You say the blood shall reveal some people's true self, before you make me inject myself another syringe of it. Now, it's the time to make you hoist by your own petard. I'll show everyone how truly I despise you.

Esther immediately ignored Nio and turned to all of the people inside, including people from Catolic Rebels, Arzonia Family and Russian Orthodox, etc. 
 * Esther: The Langdon Orphans and the Department of Inqusition have their own plan to destroy Catholic Rebels all along! My sister, Mary Spencer, became their pawn to lure Carl into that trap which the Pope used to capture him, and eventually causing my sister's death at Carl's hands! Celestia Lundenberg is still alive, and that body lies in dormant inside your chamber is actually a doppelganger. I assume it's already mutated, but fortunately someone are there to destroy it. I don't know who they are, but it does not matter!

Esther's Flashbacks
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Spin-Off - Firenza Junior - Return of Old Friends

''Looking at Esther with a cold and malicious grin, Celestia's eyes was about to peel Esther's soul... or it's just an expression. Esther's skin turned pale and widened her eyes in horror.'' ''Letting out a devious and dark chuckle, Celestia stood up from her chair. Esther suddenly felt some full contrary on Celestia's personality. Instead of being lousy and noisy, Celestia who appeared right in front of her seemed calm and callous, with her face darkened with shadows.'' ​Esther started to tremble as she heard Celestia mentioned doppelganger. ''Celestia walked all the way towards Esther as soon as she stood up from her chair. Her grin was very gruesome in Esther's eyes as it flashed beneath the sallow light. Esther was more and more frightened. She tried to escape, but Nio blocked her way.'' Before Esther could react, Nio secretly poured her vial of Firenza Blood into a syringe. Hearing Celestia's word, Esther shook her head and stepped back in horror. ''Nio, however, immediately pointed the syringe to Esther with a grin. Esther didn't finish her words.'' ''Esther then took a look at the syringe before she grabbed it from Nio's hand. Suddenly, an idea started to flow in Esther's mind. Esther took a deep breath and glared at Nio in a face like "screw you" with anger.'' ''Closing her eyes, Esther plunged the syringe into her arm slowly and carefully. As she pushed the diluted Firenza Blood into her body, Esther's eyes started to be surrounded in black veins, as her eyes turned even redder. Nio and Celestia watched closer as a sadistic smile surfaced on Nio's lips.'' ''Tears started to stream down Esther's face. She could only pray to herself...''
 * Celestia.Ludenberg.full.2180618.jpgCelestia: How was my funeral?
 * Esther: You... I thought you were dead, but why you...
 * Celestia: It was no accident. It was by design. The dying "me" is just a doppelganger made from a corpse of a dead woman, with her own appearance altered.
 * Esther: D-doppelganger?
 * Celestia: Ahh, yes, but the fun shall go on as soon as I revive it... and then there'll be fun. The place where Firenza Junior slaughtered your sister shall be drenched in blood. Paying blood with blood, don't you think this is a good retaliation?
 * ZestiriaXBerseria-2.jpgCelestia: Arzonia is such a fool... She never know that we played her like a violin all along until her string is broken, thanks to you. Now, the communication towards the Catholic Rebels has been shut down, and now you have no one to rely on... but us.
 * Celestia: You job is to corrupt Abel Nightroad as soon as we take you to him... He's now in Arzonia's base if I'm not mistaken, and you'll persuade him. Together, fufu, Arzonia's New Family shall be plunged into breaking point and then, your sin shall be over. You'll be forgiven. Think about your sister.
 * Esther: No, this is madness! I cannot taint my hands with blood of the innocent and make Abel into a monster--
 * Nio: The blood has already been under a process of dilution by me, and it'll not turn people into monster immediately... However, if you refuse, I can steal another syringe of blood and inject you two with it. You'll become two monsters which terrified everyone and ended up being killed! The choice is yours, Esther. The only way to make His Holiness forgive you and Abel is to make him rejoin you... After all, you and him are friends. I know you still can't let go your feelings, and thus I'll let your feelings flow.
 * Esther: If that's the way to make you spare him...
 * Nio: Now, Esther, dear... We'll take our move.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Esther: (think) * God Help Me... I must get to Arzonia as soon as possible... Only she can save Abel. * '

Nowadays


Nio was enraged as Esther was telling all set of plans to Neo Inquisition, risking herself to become a traitor for Langdon Orphans. ''Before Nio could react, Tres leaped towards Nio and pointed his gun at her. The words of Esther made him enraged at Nio, and he won't let Nio stand a chnace to harm Esther, who was exposing all of the naked and sadistic personaility inside Nio's seemly cute face like an angel.''
 * Nio: ESTHER!!!
 * Tres: You shan't go any longer!

Nio glared at Tres and could do nothing but seeing Esther speaking out everything nonstop. ''Hearing this, people looked at each other with shock and eventually, panic. Poison Ivy inside the crowd suddenly shouted out.'' ''Ivy's words make Esther widened her eyes in shock. Then, she heard Duchess Asran standing not far away.'' ''Esther suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked around, as all she heard was "Father Nightroad went to London" and so on. Hearing their disccussion, Esther immediately turned back to Nio and narrowed her gaze, questioning Nio in a darker and deeper voice.'' Nio nodded her head with a devious grin.
 * Vol12esthermanga.jpgEsther: I can see Cardinal Sforza, Carl and Lord Vaclav are absent, as well as Abel. In fact, Cardinal Sforza shall be send to London for further plans in the Church, and giving herself in actually is what Mother Superior wants! As far as I know from Nio, Carl is also send to London and would become Cain Nightroad's puppet! Cain is about to make the demon inside Carl, particularly its callous and cold side, to take over Carl by removing his emotions! The setting of Firenza Blood rampage is still in London! As for Lord Vaclav, I guess Fiamma of the Right has already send people to capture him. His spying move is discovered. If you want to keep all of them safe, take my advice and head to London right now!
 * Poison Ivy: Oh, my! Lord Vaclav just left to look for Abel in Eastern Europe!
 * Asran: And Abel went to look for Sforza and went to Europe as well...
 * Esther: You lied to me. You say that you'll take me to Arzonia Family's base, in order to make Abel return back to me without killing him... You know Abel's not here?

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ''It's for another unsettling silence. Nio then regained her own composure as well as confidence, before her face darkened once again with a devious smile on her face.'' Nio shrugged her shoulders and smiled. ''As everyone reacted in shock, Seth's angry voice came out of the telephone. Maria was yet to hang up her phone.'' Nio then smiled to the phone in a dark smile, starting to chuckle. ''Nio then opened her own cell phone and made a call to Abel, looking at Tres beside her. Tres and other soldiers of Catholic Rebels were still pointing their guns at Nio.'' As his own response, Abel answered in a weak voice which everyone heard it... ''Before Abel could make a response, Nio hung up the phone. Tres immediately ranted at her as soon as she hung it up.'' Nio let out a dreadful chuckle.
 * Nio: Yes, I know he's not here... since now he was captured.
 * Esther: WHAT!?
 * Esther: You... Then, you won't inject him with Firenza Blood to make your plan succeeded?
 * Nio: Well, that part is true. Sadly, I won't let you asking him to do so. I'll MAKE him do so.
 * Seth: (phone) [What have you done to my brother?]
 * Nio: Allow me to make a call.
 * Nio: Hello, Abel? What did you see?
 * Abel: (phone) [Nio? What did you do to me?]
 * Abel-Nightroad-abel-nightroad-20167889-640-360.jpgNio: It's what a vampire deserves. You're now in a place where you wish to die and yet you cannot die, and then you'll suffer forever, unless you do what I said. The remedy is right beside you, and it's your choice between survival and suffering, Abel. Goodbye.
 * Tres: WHAT EVER DID YOU DO TO HIM?

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Nio: We buried Abel in Hyde Park, London. I placed a vial of Firenza Blood with him inside his coffin. Only that vial of Firenza Blood is his way to break out, or he'll be choked in a place "six feet under". Lame pun, huh? ''

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ''All of a sudden, as if there was something so tough appeared and slammed her forehead, Esther heard a sonic boom inside her brain and stepped back in fright and horror. Wiping the blood away from her mouth, Nio watched Esther sobbing in a dark smirk.'' ''Mumbling in pain, Esther's face turned feverish, and her face started to turn pale. Her eyes went red and started to cover in black veins, but was getting more intensed than before.'' ''Poison Ivy was the first one to get alerted. She tried to rush to Esther, but suddenly, a gunshot was fired. Ivy fell on the ground and let out a scream. Seeing this, Sisters Agata and Agnese immediately beated down the guard and helped Ivy to get up, but Ivy was badly injured. The bullet hit her shoulder, fortunately missing somewhere else a lot more deadly.''
 * 1bc5e7096b63f624538cc0e98544ebf8184ca366.jpgEsther: You, you...
 * Esther: What have you done to Abel? What have you done to Abel? What have you done to Abel!?...
 * X0b55b31ee9ewb2333c4b7459465a130ccfc1e178a526.pngn Ivy: That's the...
 * Maria: (phone) [What's going on!? Esther? Ivy? What happened?]

''Ivy was almost fell and crawling on the ground if Agnese and Agata never helped her. Despite her injury, she still shouted out.'' ''Holding back her pain, Poison Ivy lifted her hand at Nio, trying to summon some plants to capture her, but Nio's eyes suddenly turned more menacing. She jumped on the desk and leaped on the wall, before she leaped onto the chandenlier beneath the ceiling.'' Esther took a deep breath and immediately punched down the guard beside her. Esther grabbed the gun from the guard and pointed it at Nio, and she fired a shot, breaking the chain that held the chandelier.
 * Poison Ivy: No way! IT'S FIRENZA BLOOD! SOMEONE DO SOMETHING!
 * Nio: Esther, you must be quick! By the way, KILLING ME IS ALSO A CHOICE!
 * Guard: What the...!!
 * Esther: GIVE ME THAT!!!

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

''The chadelier slammed straight to the ground and slammed at the centre of the hall, but Nio then rushed away and ran in an inhuman speed, plus acrobatic skills. Esther fired her shots all the way to Nio, but it not only missed but also hit the wrong targets. Then, several people - both guards and gangsters - fell on the ground with bleeding wound.'' Ivy immediately set out to chase Nio, but she was suddenly hit by a bullet and crashed herself on a desk, holding her arm while green blood start flowing from her arm.
 * Poison Ivy: Guards! Stop Nio!


 * Ivy: AHH!!!

''As Ivy crashed herself on the floor, the entire hall was plunged into a debarcle as people were either escaping or trying to subdue both Nio and Esther, but they failed. The bullet was fired by Esther, which was pointed at Nio, but when she found the bullet hit Ivy, Esther immediately slammed her forehead with her palm.''


 * Esther: DAMMIT!

''Then, Esther raced against Nio and began shooting at her in a fit of rage. Nio and Esther then started to play chasing game, but Nio used tricks to trick Esther into killing those she never wanted to kill.'' ''Esther was even more enraged and her face started to get darkened. Nio's attitude made her made, and that olny added fuel to her rage and blood lust.''
 * Nio: Ha, you can't hit me! You might not know this, but I've already accept the body recontruction and becomes a lesser Meta-Human after all! Yes, yes, Esther! Be a monster! Manslaughter is good for you!



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Esther: Kill... Kill... I'M FRIGGIN' GONNA KILL YOU! THIS IS FOR ABEL AND MY SISTER! THIS IS FOR MARIA! THIS IS FOR CARL AND HIS PARENTS! THIS IS FOR---!! ''

''Adding gasoline on the fire, Nio swiftly leaped on the lamp as she dodged Esther's mindless gunfire with some acrobatic skills, feeling proud that she finally let Esther succubbed to the driven force of the Firenza Blood. Esther's gunfire, which shot down several guards down.'' Maria let out a final yell through the phone, but right after she yelled the words, the telephone was broken due to Esther's bullets. Because of Nio's actions against Abel, Esther had reached her breaking point under the total influence of the Firenza Blood. ''The gangsters of Mafusa Gang remnants seized the chance and roared in craziness. They twisted their face in estacy and raised their machine guns, killing people trying to run away from the gunfires of Esther.'' ''In blind rage, Esther immediately leaped towards a Mafusa Gang member and raised her fist, beating his head. Somehow, Esther's strength became so powerful '' ''Dancing herself on the stairs, Nio ran away into the corridor, as Tres was busy with dealing with all sort of gunfires that he couldn't reach her. The bullets went all the way in the entire hall, leaving bullet holes on all of the four Seats of Suits.'' Inside the debarcle trying to dodge Esther and Mafusa Gang remnants' gunfires, Tres noticed Nio running away and tried to get her, but suddenly, the floor beside him was broken.
 * U=4151237324,3530744281&fm=27&gp=0.jpgNio: Yes, Esther, yes! Succubb into your own feelings and become someone like me! Being cruel feels good! HAHAHAHAHA!!!
 * Maria: (phone) [Guys, stop Esther! Stop Nio!!]
 * Esther: I WON'T FORGIVE YOU, NIO HASHIRI!!! EVEN IF I KILL ONE THOUSAND PEOPLE HERE BY MISTAKE, I WON'T LET MY ONE TARGET GET AWAY FROM HER CRIME!!!
 * Esther: Out of my way! If you stay on my good side, I promise I'll not kill you! I promise I'll not kill you!!
 * 20091223145651-755894373.jpgNio: I just like this job. I like it! I'm heading to London now, but at first, I'll travel to all the way to these funny streets! Ah~la~dee~da~
 * Tres: She ran away!
 * Tres: THAT DOPPELGANGER!

''A large hole was formed and several tentacles was spreading itself towards the ground. It was the tentacles from the morgue, where the doppelganger of Celestia started to mutate.'' Tres yelled his order like a lion roaring, which even covered the loud gunshot inside the room. ''As she was chasing Nio during her mental breakdown, a mad Esther immediately fired at the arms of the doppelganger which broke from the wall. She fired all the way in the room to shatter everything in her way, including the four Seats of Suits, which all covered with bullet holes like beehives.'' Just then, a blue portal appeared and a man in black hair and armor rushed out from the portal and start attacking the doppelgangers' arms. ''It was Gaius Phoenix, the second in command of the Witch Cult, who had just dealt with several thugs sent by the forces of Melancholia. Gaius raised his blade and took down the arms streatched out from the ground.'' ''Crouching herself on the ground, Ivy was astounded when she saw Gaius helping her friends ub fighting against those monsters coming from the ground, but she didn't let her guard down on Esther or Nio. She immediately yelled at Esther.'' However, Esther was just yelling like a madwoman and fired at Nio, but Nio already escaped. ''Yelling in madness and rage, Esther immediately destroyed several arms and chased after Nio. Poison Ivy strugggled herself to get up when suddenly, she saw someone extended her hand to her.'' ''Ivy grabbed Gaius in the hands and stood up. She then covered her arm wound with her left hand while secretly healing her wound with her superpower, smiling at Gaius.'' Ivy extended her right hand and shook hand with Gaius, who smiled friendliy with a blink. ''Hearing the word "Witch Cult", Ivy widened her eyes and mouth, dropping her jaws all of a sudden. It was a contrast to her usually calm demeanor.'' ''As if she was electrocuted all of a sudden, Poison Ivy immediately grabbed a cup of tea on the table and gave it to Gaius. The tea was freshly brewed and was still warm.'' ''Now, here's the strange moment. As the blast and all those noises started to fuel throughout a room, a man and a woman were drinking tea together like nothing happened beside them at all.'' ''With a smile, Ivy watched as Gaius took the cup of tea and blinked his eyes. He tasted mint inside the tea and nodded in satisfaction. He felt refreshing after taking that cup of tea and had more spirit of fighting than before.'' Then, with a smile, Ivy immediately used her ability to summon vines surrounding her and extended her arm to the doppelganger. ''Gaius smiled in confidence and raised his blade. Poison Ivy knew that she was already an infamous meta-human and also former supervillain, and also Magilou already told her that the odds between meta-humans and magicians always existed, and so she didn't feel angry with Gaius' seemly aggresive words.'' ''Gaius then released a war cry and raised his blade, chopping down all of the tentacles that the mutated doppelganger released, as then five shadows flew from the underground base one by one. They were Katya, Valnir, Yuri, Celestia and Misha. Celestia looked at the mutated doppelganger and narrowed her gaze. She was a bit of stressed out.'' ''Celestia then took a cup of tea calmly and looked around, acting calmer and more graceful than her rather childish and spoiled doppelganger's human form. She saw the whole place was plundged into a chaos and started to curse Nio, never expecting the situation would be like this.''
 * Tres: SISTER NOELLE! GET THE WATER OF LIFE AND USE IT ON ESTHER! AT LEAST, WE CAN CALM HER DOWN WITH IT!!!
 * Esther: YOU DIE!
 * ToL_Rokurou_Portrait.pngEsther: DAMN YOU, NIO! STOP! YOU'RE FORGETTING YOUR WAY!
 * Gaius: Begone!
 * Tb60a.jpgPoison Ivy: ESTHER! I BEG YOU! STOP!
 * Esther: NEVER! I WON'T STOP PAINTING THIS VERY GROUND RED UNTIL I FIND THAT CRUEL SLUT AND BLOW HER HEAD UP LIKE SOME KIND OF FIREWORKS! CURSE HER!
 * 66448685_p0_master1200.jpgGaius: Are you all right?
 * Poison Ivy: Trust me. I endured far more intense stuff than this. My name is Ivy. What's your name?
 * Gaius: I'm Gaius Phoenix from the Witch Cult.
 * Poison Ivy: The Witch Cult?
 * Poison Ivy: What a guest of honor. I heard about your stories and lores, but I never realized that you existed! Here's the tea I just brewed, made of the herb from my own garden.
 * 61747027_p0_master1200.jpgGaius: Why, thank you.
 * Poison Ivy: Feeling better?
 * Gaius: Not bad.
 * Poison Ivy: I'll ask about the whole things later, but let's take that beast made of putrid materials down all together!
 * 66720509_p0_master1200.jpgGaius: Ha, think I'll lose to a meta-human like you? Let's fight together now!
 * Poison Ivy: I'll take it as a compliment.
 * Celestia.Ludenberg.full.2214469.pngCelestia: Darn... It lost control after eating so many corpses... I must take my leave now. Curse that Nio... I thought this won't go so messily.

Meanwhile, as she was trapping some part of the doppelganger and its tentecles in a meat-eating plant she just summoned with some seeds, Poison Ivy immediately spotted Celestia, who leaped on the top of the Doppelganger's head and tried to leaped to the second floor, using her place as a stepping stone. ''Ivy immediately jumped on the large vines and used it as a bridge. She rushed towards the real Celestia while holding a long blade in her hand. She just took the blade from a dead Papal Knight of the Church Milliant, and she raised it and aiming it at Celestia.'' ''However, before Ivy could reach there, Celestia already took her leap and leaped to the second floor. Ivy cannot have a chance to grab Celestia's ankle in order to stop her.'' ''As Celestia leaped on the second floor and turned back with a dark chuckle, Ivy yelled in anger and rage at Celestia, but as she cannot catch Celestia, she had to worried about herself. She was almost sliding herself to the edge of the vine, which acted like a cliff at this altitude.'' It was too late for Poison Ivy to make a stop, and she slipped from the edge, but fortunately, Misha noticed this and immediately summoned an energy shield beneath Ivy, catching her at the midair and then starting to slowly descend, allowing her to land safely on the ground. ''Celestia let out a diablolical grin as she looked around. In spite of she never like such a chaotic situation, Celestia had to let it flow as she had no power to make time revert back to minutes before.'' Poison Ivy looked in disgust as she saw Celestia swiftly leaving the place via leaping all the way to the torn ceiling, which a large hole was formed at the previous position of the chandelier. ''Enraged by Celestia's cowering escape and the chaos Nio caused, Ivy then slammed her fist on the ground in fraustration. However, she didn't waste any time. Ivy immediately paid attention towards the large monster made of rotten flesh. She then raised her hand, and a large sphere made of green aura was formed on her hand...'' ''Ivy then blased the head of the monster opened with her sphere. During her studying and meditation in the Catholic Rebels, Ivy had mastered some kind of explosive magic auras as well. She used toxin as her source of power and blasted the monster's head opened, paralyzing it at the same moment. Then, the heart of the beast was revealed, with a demonic shadow surrounding it.'' ''Seizing the chance, Valnir immediately raised his staff and threw it at the monster's heart, blowing it up. The huge monster let out a screech which shattered all of the glass of Camp Corazon, forcing all of the people to close their ears, before it started to rapidly melt until it turned into nothing but a large black pond of lifeless liquid.'' ''Poison Ivy immediately went to Sister Kate, as the latter was looking after several injured soldiers. While feeing the wounded soldiers her herb potion, Ivy looked around and widened her eyes in shock.''
 * Poison Ivy: (think) * Ahh... so this is the REAL Celestia, no doubt! She dares to fake her death and even fooled me and my forensic team! *
 * Celestia.Ludenberg.full.2255286.pngPoison Ivy: OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!
 * Poison Ivy: COME BACK!!! COME BACK OR I'LL KILL---
 * Poison Ivy: What the--
 * Celestia: See, guys?
 * Celestia: There's nothing more simple than adding just a little chaos to make a group of paper tigers crumble.
 * Poison Ivy: Curse her... Curse them all...
 * U=1356050336,3355730574&fm=27&gp=0.jpgPoison Ivy: Time to end this.
 * Valnir: Let me handle with this final blow!
 * Poison Ivy: Ugh...

That putrid and mutated monster had just devoured several soldiers of both Catholic Rebels and all of the thugs and Papal Knights in Nio's forces, digesting them until they were nothing but repulsive black slimes.

''The whole Hall of Suit was ruined and people struggled themselves in the muddy swamp of that beast's rotting corpse. Gaius and Katya immediately helped the wounded and others get out of the swamp, while Yuri and Misha were using spells to purify the area, cleasing the slimes and making them disappeared.'' Poison Ivy immediately let out an angry yell and turned to Sister Kate, much to the latter's startle since Ivy was now in a desperate state, worrying that there could be a horrendeous consequence. ''Sister Kate immediately took a look at her watch. She saw it was half past five.''
 * Poison Ivy: Unforgivable!
 * Poison Ivy: I need to get that little freak named Nio Hashiri! Where will she go, you think?

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Sister Kate: [The airship...] 

''Ivy saw Kate's face turned more and more pale as the latter's hologram body itself began to turn less and stable. Ivy had a rather bad feelings about what was about to happen.'' ''Extremely horrified, Ivy heard this and was reminded of her feelings when seeing an old photo of the infamous Hindenburg Airship explosion, a feeling of horror. This time, it would be no accident if that airship of refugees blew up like Hindenburg did... It would be a slaughter.'' ''Without any hestitation, Poison Ivy immediately stood up, grabbing a walkie-talkie from the ground. She found it still useful and then immediately opened it.'' She screamed at the walkie-talkie with all her might, making her sound being heard by everyone in the ruined hall.
 * Kate_Scott.jpgPoison Ivy: Airship?
 * Sister Kate: [There's an airship carrying refugees in Aldegyr Kingdom we accepted was about to getting into the airport. I know Nio before as I was once a Langdon Orphan to. Someone as dangerous and deranged like her would choose places as crowded as possible to cause deaths and misery as hard as possible. I assume she might get to that place to make Esther blow the refugees up in search for her.]
 * Poison Ivy: This has to stop!

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Poison Ivy: All units, gathered to the street and look for Nio Hashiri and Esther Blanchett now! Don't let them heading into anywhere crowded and get everybody to safety right now! The prority is the airport, especially that airship with refugees! This is an emergency! I repeat! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!!! ''

<p style="text-align:center;"> The Water of Life 

''As the debarcle raging on because of Celestia and Nio's manipulation, the whole Russian Resistance HQ now faced its final hours and turned more and more dangerous. Rushing herself to the cave with the Water of Life, Noelle was holding an empty steel bottle inside her hand.''

Ever since the base of Russian Resistance changed from Pripyat to Kiev, the cave was also teleported to the place thanks to the efforts of Sister Vasilisa, who tragically died at the hands of Terra of the Left, who was now condemned by the entire Catholic Rebels and their allies for his crime.

Feeling more and more distressed because of the horror atop the ground, which is now tearing the already fragile base of Russian Orthodox apart, Sister Noelle Bor tried desperately getting into the cave where the fountain full of the Water of Life was contained. ''Without any hestitation, Noelle used a clean glass bottle and filled it with water. She then took the glass out until it was full.'' ''Noelle shook her head in disappointment in spite of the Water of Life had already filled the entire bottle. She was dissatisfied for a reason. Esther had now hijacked a truck with a motor gun, while Nio hijacked a motorcycle and rushed herself in the rode of high speed. Given to the fact that Esther lost control in her personality, rampaging like a ferocious beast, Noelle knew that only one bottle of water was not enough to let her calm down.''
 * Noelle: This is terrible... I must find a way...
 * Noelle: Now...
 * Noelle: No, that wasn't enough...
 * Noelle: No, no, how can I do this without a large amount of water... but I don't know how to use water magic...

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

On an airship, which was heading towards the base of Russian Resistance, it contained hundreds of refugees from the destroyed Aldegyr Kingdom, accepted by the Catholic Rebels.

''On the ship, the captain who was in charge of the ship had just landed the airship in the airport. He was concerned when he saw several explosions coming from not far away.'' The ship's captain is Hugue "Sword Dancer" de Watteau, an AX agent who is currently serves as Matt Butcher's teacher in swordsmanship within his service in Catholic Rebels.



''Due to Hugue's current missing status on the side of Catholic Church, Pope Michael Langdon also suspected that he was a traitor as well. For now, Hugue was in charge with helping the refugees to find the place to shelter. Aldegyr Kingdom was utterly destroyed after the previous battle in the kingdom.'' With a telescope in his hand, Hugue looked at the exploding city not far away in a narrowed gaze. Hugue narrowed his gaze in confusion, but then as he looked closer, he saw Nio Hashiri riding on a bike and went all the way cackling. ''As soon as he saw Nio, Hugue immediately felt some feelings of horror deep inside his heart. He knew that Nio was extremely dangerous, and he thought those explosions might caused by her.''
 * Hugue: What happened?
 * Hugue: Nio? What's she doing here?

Then, through the telescope, Hugue saw running people and people being shot down. ''Shocked, Hugue then looked aside and saw a large truck not far away. Horrified, Hugue saw Esther Blanchett on the seat beside the truck's driver. She was holding a machine gun and fired at Nio in madness, but those shots were fired at not only people, but also fuel tanks on the truck not far away. The fuel was spilled on the ground and started to ignited in flames. Those explosions were brusted out because of this.'' ''The most chilling part is that Nio was cackling all along while watching people being shot down by Esther, while Esther yelled and screamed in rage for missing Nio again and again. Just then, Hugue heard his phone rang. He immediately answered the call.''
 * Hugue: What!?
 * Nio: Hahahaha! Yes, Esther, miss your aim and be the slaughterer!
 * Esther: I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'LL KILL YOU!!!
 * Hugue: Hello?

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Sister Kate: (phone) [Stop her, Father Hugue! Stop Nio Hashiri from coming towards the airship, or else Esther will slaughter all refugees in order to find her! Now, Esther is infected with Firenza Blood, and Nio broke her sanity for burying Abel in London!!] '

Hearing this, Hugue immediately went towards the

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

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

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

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

''Disappointed, Melancholia shook her head and sighed. Vaclav then looked at Fiamma standing not far away, as he questioned him in menace.'' Fiamma didn't respond Vaclav. Melancholia immediately interrupted Vaclav as the latter tried harder to insult Fiamma. ''As Melancholia spoke harsh words to Vaclav, Fiamma set himself in motion. He walked himself on the stairs and sat on the judge's seat, holding the sword on it inside his hands.'' "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vaclav suddenly reacted in sheer shock and horror as soon as he heard the phrase "Dome of the Star". Melancholia then looked at Fiamma as the latter got the sword in his hand. ''After that, Melancholia then summoned a large portal and then she teleported herself away to somewhere else. Then, Fiamma immediately pitched up his voice. He wasn't speaking one single word when he captured Vaclav and made him to Melancholia's custody, until now.'' ''Vaclav looked at the courtroom. There were no jury, no defense attorney, no prosecutor, no witnesses, only a "judge" standing above him, as well as himself as a defendant.'' With a pair of angry eyes, Fiamma then struck the tip of his sword into his desk.
 * Vaclav: And what are you now, Fiamma, their lapdog!?
 * Vaclav: I know you're a lunatic. At least, you used to stand for something.
 * Melancholia: Your attempts to turn Fiamma of the Right against me are tiresome, Vaclav. He was following you not because I asked him to, but because he knows, as I do... that you're an enemy to Catholic Church.
 * Melancholia: You always are stubborn, but I'm sad you won't see the end of our little story, when the clock stops, when the Dome of the Star falls upon the city ...

''Hung up her phone and looked at the ceiling of Scotland Yard, Villian was getting more and more distraught, worrying about Abel, Vaclav and Sforza. Esther had tied herself up with Chain Viper in order not to make herself out of control, while Maria was holding the chain tightly.'' ''Maria then thought about what Krans and Yuri just informed her... some demonic entity who stared a collaboration with Melancholia for now...'' Maria suddenly heard an unfriendly voice coming from her left side, and she frowned her eyebrows. Maria then stood up and turned to look at a girl with black long hair and dressed in a short white T-shirt tied into a knot at the bottom, revealing her belly button; her jeans have one pantsleg cut off to be very short. "SLAP!!!" ''Before Maria could finish her words, Kaori raised her hand and gave Maria a firm slap. Her slap was so hard that Maria's face went straight to the left in an angle of 45 degrees.'' ''Enraged, Matt immediately went further and stood in front of Kaori, right beside Maria. Kaori and Matt knew each other for many years, but they hardly had interactions except during actions in war. Therefore, Matt wasn't that close to Kaori compared to his relationship with Maria.''
 * Villian: There's still no sign of Sforza, Vaclav or Abel.
 * Maria: This is so scary, as now we lost contact with so many people. I don't know what on Earth had happened in the United Kingdom recently, but I assume that it was caused by... not Carissa or Mafusa Gang... but by someone else, someone much more powerful.
 * ???: Wait, what is that Arzonia Niña doing here in Scotland Yard?
 * Maria: Sorry for being rude, but that's not the way you speak Spanish.
 * Maria: I guess you're Ms. Kanzaki Kaori, and I know you. I'm sorry that I didn't...
 * Matt: Kaori!?
 * Matt: What are you doing here?

Kaori glared at Matt and narrowed his eyes. ''The face of Maria was left with a large red mark. Kaori gave her such a harsh slap that even she herself could feel it despite under her Spirit form. Magilou, Sumireko and Esther (despite being firmly tied up) immediately leaned forward to Maria in order to take care of her.''
 * Kaori: You're now on her side, right, Matt? Ha, don't forget that your faith belongs to Protestant Church, after all, and you shouldn't get closer to a Catholic like her, not to mention that she once tried to kill many people while shambling in the streets of London, as a murderous and sadistic KnightWalker Cyborg!

<p style="text-align:center;"> Star of Bethlehem

On the Star of Bethlehem, which was currently not visible by the sight of Londoners, Fiamma of the Right watched over the whole town after returning back to the Star's control tower. A grin surfaced on Fiamma's face. Just as Fiamma gloated in satisfaction, a malicious female giggle started to appear behind Fiamma's back, combined with the noise of footsteps coming from someone who wore heels. ''The woman was covered in dark shadows, and her face was barely recognizable in the darkness. Then, Fiamma smiled and turned back to the woman. He looked at her in an scornful eye.'' ''The woman scoffed and looked aside. She showed some expression of pity as she heard Fiamma said the word "London."'' Then, the woman turned serious once more and looked at Fiamma in a gloomy face. ''As the woman was speaking in a rather casual manner, as if she herself was speaking to the air itself, Fiamma then glared at the woman. His smile faded instantly.'' The woman immediately slapped her own head and laughed out in embarrasement. ''The woman then let out a grin and revealed herself from a shadow, revealing herself to be a very young woman, just a bit older than Maria. She has a tall, hourglass figure that matched perfectly with Maria's shape, but her hair was pinkish instead of blond. Her face is grinning in malice. She was wearing an armor in red and blue, and she was carrying several blades on her body. It was apparent that, like Matt Butcher, this woman is also a collector of the swords.''
 * Fiamma: They still have no idea of the danger.
 * ???: So interesting, Milord Fiamma.
 * Fiamma: I hardly imagine that His Holiness will make another person from Mafusa Gang to join our cause, but since you're the secret weapon of the Langdon Orphans... I guess there's an necessity for you to go to London.
 * Biagio_Novel.jpg???: London? That place, which was attacked three times in half a year, has no place of salvation, but since that place has Arzonia and her so-called family there, I think at very least I'll have some fun.
 * ???: By the way, Bishop Biagio Busoni... or former Bishop Biagio Busoni, I suppose, is now set in the Mansion of Pulao (蒲牢), waiting for "its" release. I'm sure if Arzonia gets on the place, that'll be good for her. By the way, what would you plan to do with Patriarch Krans and Matt Butcher? I heard Krans somehow survived that attack we instigated in Ukraine.
 * Fiamma: Miss, don't forget that I know who your really are... You're an Arzonia as well.
 * ???: Ha, yes, what a moron I am.



<p style="text-align:center;">' - ???: Guinevere Arzonia, at your service, Fiamma of the Right. '

''Fiamma then watched in satisfaction as the woman who called herself Guinevere Arzonia bowed herself in front of him, and he grinned in malice. Then, Guinevere's face turned more serious and she drew her sword.'' All of a sudden, as soon as Guinevere finished her words, Fiammma lowered his head and chuckled in a dark manner, much to Guinevere's surprise. Guinevere frowned her eyebrows. Fiamma then waved his hands and brushed things off in a casual manner. Feeling humiliated, Guinevere turned back and bit her lips. Guinevere then walked towards the door in a serious tone, but she spoke in a manner as if she turned into the queen of the whole world. ''Guinevere then teleported herself out of the tower via a magic portal. Fiamma sat on his throne and looked at the empty hall in a lethal grin.''
 * Guinevere: I'm here to inform you that I'll take the task of capturing Coporal Matt Butcher and Patriarch Krans R. Tsarskiy to this place. Leave this task to me. I need to meet my sister and tells her who should be a worthy Arzonia!
 * Fiamma: Fufufufufufufu... Hahahahahahaha!!!
 * Guinevere: What's so funny about it?
 * Fiamma: Nothing, just because you were born from different mothers, and apparently Maria is much less squandering than you are, my little Guinevere.
 * Guinevere: Tsk!
 * Guinevere: I warn you this, Fiamma. There's nothing more horrible... than a woman scorned.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Fiamma: We'll wait and see. '

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

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

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

''Before Guinevere could finish, Maria suddenly gave the latters' face a heavy slap. She angrily narrowed her gaze and glared at Guinevere in anger.'' As a result of this heavy slap, Guinevere had her face tilted a little bit, as Matt and Krans immediately went to Maria and started to urge her. As Matt was thinking about lies to make Maria get out of such a mess as soon as possible, Guinevere touched her cheek, where a large red mark was left as a result of Maria's slap, and she grinned. Maria, Matt and Krans quickly stopped struggling and then they looked at Guinevere, who acted in a much colder expression on her face.
 * Maria: My mother is one of the best women I have ever met. At least, I never hate her like how you hate your mother simply with those petty excuses! Don't you dare insult her!
 * Matt: Maria, I remembered that we're late for afternoon tea in the house of Missus... uh, Mrs. Jane Doe's house, remember? We don't need to really get into the quarelling...
 * Guinevere: It's also inside you, right?
 * Maria: What do you mean?

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Guinevere: The Sabbat's Curse is also inside you, like me! Like all of those with Arzonia Blood!'

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

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

''The dome itself began to form above the floating castle, and Fiamma stood up from his seat with an arrogant smile full of delusional grandeur. Matt raised his blade and rushed to Fiamma, but right after Fiamma raised his hand, Matt was grabbed by the giant red claw appeared behind Fiamma all of a sudden.'' ''In an inhumane speed, Krans immediately raised his sword and charged at Fiamma. Fiamma was still grabbing Carl and tried to throw him away, but Krans immediately knocked him down with his elbow and tried to cut him. However, Fiamma then summoned a red fiery shield to block Krans' attack. The giant red claw then threw Matt ten meters away from Fiamma's throne, before it started to reach Krans.''

''The fight in the city of London, alongside the riots suddenly stopped as soon as they saw the smiling face of Melancholia appeared in magical screens in the whole city. Melancholia chuckled in bitterness and devilishness and narrowed her eyes with grim malice.'' ''The fight stopped one after another when the speech of Melancholia went across the city, and all the noise suddenly gone quiet. Melancholia took a glance filled with despise, before she lifted the right side of her mouth.'' ''Meanwhile, Maria stopped her fight with Carl, since she found Carl stopped all of a sudden when he heard Melancholia's speech. Maria looked at Carl and narrowed her eyes.''
 * Melancholia: [I know people outside like you wants to take my head, since Arzonia claimed that I'm the one who wants to drown you all in tears. Her words are absolutely faulty, my dear friends. In this world now pludged into the chaos, you can only trust me, the second of command in the Catholic Church.]
 * Maria: What's she planning?


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''Maria now had no certainty which was worse - to face Carl when he went into a mindless and wrathful rampage, or to face Carl when he acted such cold and callous. Melancholia made a pause and smiled in a dark manner, as if she had saw Carl accepting the idea that humans are evil.''

Soul of Vykos' Message


<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Vykos: Vampires are immortal. Blood is for life. However, those humans are so meddling that they always tries to squinsh blood out from us. Cursing us with crucifix and garlics? Throwing us with stones? That's nothing but a bunch of joke! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Vykos: I had live in this world for centuries, and I changed myself so many times that I don't even know who I am. However, does that really matters? ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Vykos: They thought I died, but in fact, I'm everywhere inside those vampire's mind. Those traitors from the Sabbat may betrayed me and helped the Witnesses to destroy me, but still, I have loyalists. Those traitors won't live a good life. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Vykos: Even if I'm long gone, even if I'm now in Hell, tasting fire and pain, I have Cain Nightroad to carry on my legacy! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Vykos: HUMANS! FOOLS! You think we, the blood-sucking creatures that goes out at night, are nothing but myth. You're wrong, very wrong. My grandchildren are still on this world, hiding among humanity, getting ready to strike... and you'll never know who are they. If we'd like, we can fight you under sunshine, even if it means to end both of our respective factions! ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Vykos: One day, however, when the time comes, we shall break free from our nest again, and we'll paint this world red... Long Live the Sabbat! Long Live the Sabbat! ''

Lyrics
Ha-ha-ha, this is about you

Beware, beware, be skeptical Of their smiles, their smiles of plated gold Deceit so natural But a wolf in sheep's clothing is more than a warning Bah-bah-black sheep, have you any soul? No sir, by the way, what the hell are morals?

Jack, be nimble, Jack, be quick Jill's a little whore and her alibis are dirty tricks

So could you Tell me how you're sleeping easy How you're only thinking of yourself Show me how you justify Telling all your lies like second nature Listen, mark my words: one day (one day) You will pay, you will pay Karma's gonna come collect your debt

Aware, aware, you stalk your prey With criminal mentality You sink your teeth into the people you depend on Infecting everyone, you're quite the problem Fee-fi-fo-fum, you better run and hide I smell the blood of a petty little coward

Jack, be lethal, Jack, be slick Jill will leave you lonely dying in a filthy ditch

So could you Tell me how you're sleeping easy How you're only thinking of yourself Show me how you justify Telling all your lies like second nature Listen, mark my words: one day (one day) You will pay, you will pay Karma's gonna come collect your debt

Maybe you'll change Abandon all your wicked ways Make amends and start anew again Maybe you'll see All the wrongs you did to me And start all over, start all over again

Who am I kidding? Now, let's not get overzealous here You've always been a huge piece of shit If I could kill you I would But it's frowned upon in all fifty states Having said that, burn in hell

(Where are you, motherfucker? Ha ha!)

So tell me how you're sleeping easy How you're only thinking of yourself Show me how you justify Telling all your lies like second nature Listen, mark my words: one day (one day) You will pay, you will pay Karma's gonna come collect your debt

Karma's gonna come collect your debt, (She's a li—she's a li—she's a liar) Karma's gonna come collect your debt. (Jazzy)
