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.'' ''Turned out, Yuri and Gaius were dealing with several golem soldiers from all of the Church Milliant intruders outside, while taking their attentions away from the morgue. Celestia just took those golems with her to make them as a reinforcement, but Gaius and Yuri defeated them all. Now, Yuri entered the hall whilst Gaius was on his way to the Hall of Suits, where Nio and a coerced Esther would appear.'' ''Deep inside Celestia's calm facade, she was utterly confused and panicked. Uttered her curse in a low voice, Celestia started to get infuriated. She never thought about the Witch Cult's full involvement.'' ''Yuri was not presented in the scene when Celestia gave the revealing, so he was surprised to hear that. In spite of this, he hid his surprise in his mind and let out a narcissistic smile while posing as a weird child. He started dancing in front of Celestia with a blushed smile on his face.'' ''Yuri's weird behavior made Celestia stepped back in an unimpressed face, but soon she calmed herself down. Misha, Yuri and Yalnir watched as the two interacted with an awkward face, but they were busy in attacking that mutated beast, thus the could not speak a comment upon it.'' ''Celestia regained her composure and started to cast a spell around her, with the black and red aura surrounding her, while Yuri stopped acting weird. With no hestitance, Yuri immediately opened his magic book and opened it.'' ''Yuri and Celestia leaped to the midair and started to attack, but around them, the putrid and viscous liquid of the doppelganger was still expanding. More and more tentacles came from it, eating the corpses while breaking through the walls. Celestia swiftly leaped one of the large tentacles while raising her sword, which she had just created with her red and black aura, reflecting Yuri's attack and sent them back to him.''
 * ???: HERE I COME!
 * Celestia.Ludenberg.full.2036658.jpgYuri: Sorry, guys, ha, for taking so long. I was busy in dealing with Ms. Ludenberg's golems outside, but Gaius will arrive here much later.
 * Celestia: Those golems...
 * Leon.(Fire.Emblem).full.2268557.jpgCelestia: Your name is Yuri Barnes... I heard myths about you from Mother Superior, in spite of she only mentioned you as a magician working to cleanse demons, but refusing to tell me more. After all, you might confused why she was working with an ancient demon king... whom Mother Superior "befriended" many years ago, maybe even longer than modern civilizations.
 * Yuri: Ooh, it looks like my fame preceeds me. Dammit, even if you praise me, I won't be glad at all~
 * Celestia: Unfortunately, your fame ends today.
 * Yuri: Let's roll.
 * Misha: Celestia...

''As she was witnessing the attack of Celestia, Misha grew more and more furious. The doppelganger that was killed not only made such a horrendous distress, but also unleashed the bloodlust of Mary Spencer, causing her fall as well as droving Carl into killing her without any mercy, droving Esther into betraying the Catholic Rebels in a stubborn way...  While ranting, Misha turned her attention away and rushed to Celestia before stabbing Celestia's right shoulder from behind. Celestia was busy in dealing with Yuri and was not expecting such an ambush. As soon as the blade of Misha pierced her, Celestia let out a cry and turned back in malice.'' ''However, as soon as the eyes of Celestia met the eyes of Misha, the eyes of Celestia widened in horror all of a sudden, like a swelling balloon. She saw Misha's eyes changed, with bright vermillion aura surrounding her pupils, while her voice turned as deep as a baritone.'' ''Misha... or something inside Misha's body, started to take over her for a while, changing her from some sort of an usually jovial person to a much darker and more serious warrior. Yuri was shocked to see such an expression. What made him even more unnerved was that the body of Misha started to release some kind of energy that could only be described as... literally angelic.''
 * Misha: I had enough! You just said twice of how your so-called Mother Superior working with some sort of demon king! DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE TOO TIRED!?
 * Celestia: You little...
 * MishaKreuzhev_profile.jpgMisha (???): I don't know what in the world you were on about, and you know what? I don't care at all! All I want is to smite you from such a pathetic and dreadful existence!

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

''Katya and Valnir noticed the strange behavior of Misha as well, witnessing the latter pushing Celestia into the putrid pool. However, Celestia landed on another long tentacle on the mutating doppelganger, but she felt her left arm broken.'' ''With a gulp, Katya sharpened her gaze as soon as she felt that the thing inside Misha was turning her into a much more angry and menacing person, and Katya started to get nervous. Fortunately, this very brief feelings never made her to let her guard down from that mutating monster beside her...  Just then, with her normal voice restroed, Misha started to walk back on the tentacles, showing signs of her own personality gaining back her control.'' ''Celestia heard the thing inside Misha started to rant before seeing Misha turned weaker like a melted marshmallow. Other people all witnessed the thing in Misha's body, but Celestia was the only one who could keep her calm. Seeing this, Katya, Valnir and Yuri immediately went to Misha, and Celestia started to use her ability to regenerate her wound.'' ''Celestia stood up and looked up at the exact position where the Witch Cult helping Misha to recover. She then thought about Melancholia's words inside her mind with a smile. Melancholia told Celestia about this before the latter entered the morgue.'' Regaining her own sense, Celestia let out a dark and confident smile. Mumuring to herself, Celestia grinned darkly, but then she heard Katya from above yelling to her.
 * Katya: (think) What is this? That is not Misha... I saw this kind of energy before...
 * Misha: No... no...
 * Celestia.Ludenberg.full.1826536.jpgMisha (???): ALL HAIL THE ONE WHO WAS HIDDEN AWAY FROM THE WORLD!!! HE NEVER DIED! A GOD CAN NEVER DIE! HE CAUSED THE DEATH OF OLD FIRENZA, AND HE CAN KILL HIS SON ONCE AGAIN!!!
 * Celestia: Just as Mother Superior had forseen.
 * Melancholia: (in flashback) With Pope Michael starting to rise to power, I deduce that another Period of Tribulations shall come to a start in this World War III as a result of that. Do you know? Even after Moloch's demise in this era, this Period of Tribulation will not fully end. It is a cycle that would not end, only repeating in different forms, with new people taking the mantle of the Witnesses and fighting with them. Now, I deduce that the wind armatus isone of many legacies of the Elemental Evil leaders, while Moloch's legacy holds in our hands. Now, as for the Hidden One, the person who was trying to eliminate Firenza Bloodline and the one who caused Carl's own father, Firenza Senior, to die... I deduce that he has his legacy as well... After all, old sins cast a long shadow.
 * Celestia: Now, I know where the Hidden One's legacy is...
 * Katya: What are you saying!?

Celestia raised her head and stood up, summoning her energy sword once again with a cruel smile.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Celestia: Nothing important... Now, let's fight! '

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!!! ''

Act 4 - Water Armateus
<p style="text-align:center;"> 2 minutes later 

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

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

<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, however, knew that she cannot waste any time, so she immediately searched around the corner in a rapid speed, and she found a jug at the corner. She bit her lips and plundged the jug into the water when suddenly... a bluish light started to surface inside the jug when she pulled it out of the fountain, now with the jug filled with water.  Noelle noticed the light but didn't pay too much attention.'' ''Noelle quickly grabbed the jug in one hand and her bottle in another. She tried to leave the cave, when all of a sudden, the light began to shine in a much more intense luminosity.'' ''Noelle started to scream as the blue light engulfed her, as soon as a blue crystal started to surface from her jug, forcing to put the jug and the bottle back to the ground as soon as possible. Then, covering her eyes, Noelle cannot stare at the blue crystal.'' Before Noelle could ever finish, she suddenly lost her conciousness.
 * 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...
 * Noelle: I have no time for this.
 * Noelle: AHHH!!!
 * Noelle: W-what was...

Illusion World
<p style="text-align:center;"> Sword Coast  <p style="text-align:center;"> Raven Cliff Beach 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Beneath the Fountain of Delight 

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

''Everything seemed strange for Noelle... when she opened her eyes, she was still inside a grave with water surrounding her. Nevertheless, all of the surroundings were now different.'' ''All of a sudden, Noelle had a feelings of horror. The situation caused by Nio was getting worsen, and now she was somehow teleported into possibly another place... Everything seemed full of queries. She had to get to Esther as soon as possible.'' ''Suddenly, a gentle male voice appeared from Noelle's back. Noelle stopped for a while and looked from left to right, wondering who was there. She narrowed her sight and turned her head away, deciding to ignore it.'' Noelle then went on to leave, but suddenly, the voice appeared again.
 * The_cave_by_theofficialwils-d64fm36.jpgNoelle: What is this place?
 * Noelle: Wait... I have to...
 * ???: Don't be afraid, Noelle Bor. Get that blue crystal.
 * Noelle: Maybe it's just me.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - ???: This is Water Armateus. "Armateus" means "source" in Primordial language. '

''Noelle heard that soft and calm voice appearing behind her and she was surprised. She never heard the voice before, but it gave her an impression of caring and friendly attitude.'' ''Noelle turned back and saw a handsome black-haired man with black coat and green eyes standing not far away from her. The man was holding the blue crystal she saw before. Noelle almost mistook him as Matt, but she then looked more careful and realized that the man was a complete different person.'' ''The man slowly and gently paced towards Noelle, but he didn't walked too close to her. They still kept the distance. Now, the blue crystal was inside his hand.'' The black-haired man who just introduced himself as Gar Shatterkeel smiled at Noelle in a calm and gentle mannerism, and after a pause, he sighed. ''The man of Gar then looked at his reflection in the water. It was another person, but was much more deformed. It was the form Gar took as the Prophet of Watgher, with a large mechanicle crab claw attached on his left shoulder in place of his mutilated left arm. His body was covered with blue skins and barnecles all over his body. Gar looked away from his hideous deformity and looked back at Noelle.'' Noelle heard Gar's word and was amazed. ''Gar nodded with sadness and sighed. Ever since he met Noelle, Gar was always talking in a soft-spoken way, but his sadness cannot be hidden away by his soft-spoken attitude.'' Noelle then remembered people talking about Carl Robinson, who was possessed by something known as the Malice of Moloch, and his blood carried some unknown substance that was connected to some kind of demonic forces that nobody knew what it was.
 * ???: Don't worry. I'm on your side.
 * Noelle: Who are you?
 * ???: I'm a lonely floating soul like yourself, Noelle Bor. Decades ago, people known me as the Prophet of Water. My name... is Gar Shatterkeel.
 * GarShatterkeelNW.jpgGar: The name is strange, right? In fact, I'm from another world, and I was already dead at this matter of time. Therefore, you're actually talking to my ghost.
 * Gar: I was once a lost soul, like you and your brother. Later, I defected from my former side after realizing its depravity, and later I died in a war named the Period of Tribulations that ended decades before this World War III you're fighting... This blue crystal, however, contains my soul essence that imbued that pool underground, making it the Water of Life to heal people.
 * Noelle: Wait, you mean... You're the creator of this... Water of Life?
 * Gar: Indeed. Noelle, I hurt many people before, and I think this is at least something I can do to save the world from darkness. By the way, your primary adversary now carries that Demon King's dark legacy. I was one of that Demon King's victim after all.

Gar then closed his eyes and bit his lips, and he seemed to be scared. Gar then narrowed his gaze and walked closer to Noelle, giving her the blue crystal into her hand, and he put it into her hand. ''Looking at Gar with a strange look, Noelle extended her hand and grabbed the crystal inside her hand. Gar smiled at her.'' After floating himself so that he could stepped on the water's surface, Gar then turned back and attempted to leave, but then he heard Noelle shouting at him in a tone full of confusion. ''Gar stopped walking on the water and turned back with a smile at Noelle. When Gar spoke his following sentence, Noelle's reaction was even more shocked and amazed.'' ''Noelle widened her eyes and had a large jaw drop. Her face could be considered as like  SCP-096  some hilarious face fault appearing in One Piece.'' ''Before Noelle could finished, she suddenly had a painful expression and had an illusion, with herself and brothers as children, lying beside a shambled car and two bodies with blood flowing on their neck. Beside her, a hideous woman with long fingers and eerie-shaped head was approaching them with a blade in her hand.''
 * Gar: Michael Langdon is serving a demon king named Moloch, and his main goal is to bring forth Moloch's dark legacies so that the Period of Tribulations would reappear in your era. The Catholic Church is just his stepping stone. Trust me, he aims much more, so vast that not even the largest ocean on this planet could contain.
 * Noelle: Then, how do we stop him?
 * Gar: This Armateus Crystal allows you to take control upon the Water of Life. Here, our little conversation won't waste any time in your world as time in here flows very slow. Therefore, you need it to heal both Esther Blanchett and Carl Robinson with it. They're the best hopes to take down Michael and Melancholia's current plan.
 * Spain.full.2032554.jpgGar: Very well, thank you.
 * Noelle: Wait! This mister... Um, Mr. Gar Shatterkeel, Why're you helping me?
 * Sascha_vykos_by_frankjacobo-d98ws2j.jpgGar: I won't allow anyone good in this world lost their beloved friends. I lost my comrades and friends in first a pirate attack and then a nasty storm, with me as those ordeals' sole survivor... I know how much pain when you lose someone you've been cared about, Noelle. Besides... you and your brother had an interesting family background... Erica Butcher.
 * Gar: That's your birth name.
 * Noelle: WAIT! HOW DO YOU KNOW MY BIRTH NAME--
 * ???: Don't worry... This won't hurt... Instead, this will be TORTUROUS! Now, taste the pain coming from me! 

''Holding her head with pain and horror, with tears coming from her eyes, Noelle let out an absolutely horrid terrified scream, like a tortured animal, when the woman's face was finally clearly shown in front of her face. The woman had a livid skin and black eyes with a pair of green-glowing pupils. There were blood from her mouth, and she licked her fingers that were full of blood.'' ''Noelle was so terrified that she immediately fell on the water, shooking her head and holding her breath. Gar went to her immediately with concern.'' ''Noelle then held her head in pain and agony with a sigh. She tried to calm herself down since it was not the time for her to panic.'' ''Gar then tilted his head with a curious face. He sighed and started to pity Noelle with sadness on his own face.'' ''Cannot hold back her terror anymore, Noelle then closed her eyes and allowed tears streamed sown her cheek. Gar went to her and petted her shoulder.'' With a concerned face, Gar petted Noelle's shoulder with comfort, like a loving young man comforting his heartbroken girlfriend. ''Noelle was confused and looked at Gar with some confusion. She was especially confused by Gar's words, "after your death".'' ''Noelle closed her eyes and let out a sad smile. She realized what Gar meant, and yet she smiled.'' ''Noelle thought about Maria's revival as a Spirit Guide, but she never regarded she was that special. Nevertheless, Noelle then held the crystal tightly inside her hand when she thought about the situation of Esther.'' Gar let out a cryptic smile, as he and everything surrounded Noelle was swalled by pale blue light.
 * ???: Human souls are just like a piece of clay... So fragile... Now, remember my name in your afterlife... My name is... VYKOS!!!
 * Gar: Are you all right?
 * Noelle: Oh, that illusion again...
 * Spain.full.1925701.jpgGar: Illusions... or memory?
 * Noelle: What happened to my childhood? Who is that hideous woman...
 * Gar: Sorry if that trigged some bad memories in your mind... Noelle, all of these are actually connected... but sadly, you will know all those things... after your death.

You cannot cross the same form of a river since it flows all the time and changes all the time. In spite of this, you must do what you should do in your life, at least to make people know you once lived a life with no regret
 * Noelle: I can see what you meant... However, one day I'll delve into my family's truth even if I'm in my afterlife... if there's reincarnation in this world...

<p style="text-align:center;"> 300m away Campamento Corazon 

<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!?
 * 3130226160120X0.png: Hahahaha! Yes, Esther, miss your aim and be the slaughterer!
 * Esther: I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'LL KILL YOU! GET BACK HERE!!!
 * 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 streets, feeling shocked that the Firenza Blood had took over the body of Esther. In fact, in spite of now being in Russian Resistance Base, Hugue had been receiving letters from the late Sister Vasilisa, who warned him about the power of Firenza Blood.'' ''Now, Hugue saw it, much to his sheer horror. Armed with his sword, Hugue immediately went to the scene with his sword. Like Matt Butcher, Hugue is a professional swordsman, serving as Cardinal Sforza's personal guardian.''
 * Hugue: (think) * How did that Nio Hashiri came here, anyway? *

Act 5 - Kouko's Mutation








"......."

Kouko's Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Spin-Off - Firenza Junior - Carl's Weak Spot

''Kouko Kaminaga, one of the assassins in Langdon Orphans, children raised and trained by Michael Langdon, was among a meeting with some other friends of hers. She was currently dressing a disguise which made her like a male, in an extravagant suit that only a male aristocrat would wear. They began to discuss many problems in their faction after Sumireko's recent betrayal.'' ''The orphans all looked at each other like a group of utter worriers. Then, one of them raised her hand. It was a little girl with blue hair and a pair of ponytails. She was hugging a pink teddy bear in her arms.'' Kouko looked at her and nodded in agreement. ''The girl named Hitsugi Kirigaya is considered to be one of the most dangerous and loyal Langdon Orphans. She carries an air of derange as her eyes were full of nothing but vacancy and malice despite her seemly cute and cuddly physical appearance.'' ''Hitsugi spoke all of those above pieces information in a matter of ten seconds, while keeping her cold and calm face, much to some others' horror. Hitsugi's evil personality really scared them to the deepest part within their soul.'' ''The Orphans looked at each other with confusion, as they all could not understand why Melancholia was going to release Fiamma of the Right. She captured him in order to claim that Michael was "worried" about Fiamma's recent "rash actions" in Ukraine that caused death toll in hundreds.'' However, all of them then realized that something really big is going to happen. Kouko then took a look at everyone seated in front of her in a face of seriousness. ''Shinya Banba, who was somehow sat beside Kouko and looked at the latter with interest. She was feeling interested with the name, Acqua of the Back.''
 * Kouko: Has anyone saw Mother Superior? I saw her stormed out of her room quite so suddenly. She must be angry with something.
 * Kouko: I deduce there is another traitor among us. That made her pissed off so much.
 * ???: May I?
 * Kouko: Yes, Hitsugi.
 * Hitsugi: I saw Mother Superior coming towards me and command me to contact the inquisitors from the Department of Inquisition. She told the inquisitors to release Fiamma of the Right out and demanded to speak to him, restore his duty and so on.
 * Kouko: Fiamma of the Right?
 * Hitsugi: The inquisitors also informed that the traitor Cardinal Kathrine Sforza gave herself in and will be transferred to London.
 * Hitsugi: She never told me why Cardinal Sforza was going be transferred to London. She just left for Vatican.
 * Kouko: Fiamma owns the Star of Bethlehem, the current place where Firenza Junior is held captive. I hope Cain Nightroad would tame that beast and make him our ally.
 * Kouko: Now, as we all know, we have half of the God's Right Seat that fight for us, while the other half now belongs to Arzonia's Family, including the greatest traitor among us: Acqua of the Back, who is a formidable warrior.

(- Narrator: Wait a minute... Shinya? Why was she in this place? It was stange and curious to see that Shinya was presented in the meetings instead of guarding Maria, right? Don't worry.  The reason of this is, in fact, a secret which will be revealed in the next episode. ) ''Shinya then let out a malicious evil grin in contrast to Hitsugi's cold and menacing stare. Kouko felt scared by this contrast, but she kept her own calmness.'' ''Kouko's eyes turned red while she was speaking her plan. Despite fearing the emotional terror brought by Shinya and Hitsugi's personalities, she's no less dangerous than them.''
 * 56812440_p2_master1200.jpgShinya: I kind of feeling strange that Acqua of the Back, who was chasing by Arzonia all over London during Arzonia's time as a brainwashed Cyborg, would now stick together with her. We can't ignore him. I'll take care of him, since if there is something wrong in England, he must return once again to save it.
 * Kouko: Since Fiamma of the Right is about to take his move, if he's really about to take his move, I guess it is utterly necessary for us to be reinforcements. The Star of Bethlehem is a vast place, and if Arzonia really finds it and comes to the place to save Firenza Junior, I guess it will be extremely difficult for her. In fact, trapping those rebels in different places will keep them separated, and we'll make Firenza Junior defeat Arzonia, torturing her and make her insane.
 * Kouko: Any questions?

''All of the other orphans shook their head. Kouko then raised her hand and closed her eyes.'' ''However, as she was going to finish, Kouko looked around and spotted something was wrong. There was one person who wasn't presented at the meeting.''
 * Kouko: Very well. Dismissed.

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Kouko: Where is Nio!? ''

Nowadays
''Kouko's face twisted in sheer estasy and grinned widely with a sadistic smile. With a shocked face, Nio was terrified when she saw Kouko grinned widely in a malicious manner.''
 * Kouko: That's when I thought about something fishy. I then discovered the massacre in Kiev, never realizing that it is your work, Nio.
 * Nio: Imagine how Mother Superior will punish you, Nio, but we'll say this later. Now, Mother wants you to return to her.

Esther's Dream
''Losing herself inside a void of white barren, Esther walked inside such desert and looked at the white dust devils flowing and spinning around her. She heard people around crying, but she cannot see them, and this even deepen her guilt. She cannot saw them, because they were dead... or so did Esther assumed.''
 * 107-1955M36.pngEsther: Murderess... Murderess... I'm a cruel murderess...

''The Water of Life never erased the memory for what she did, and it only made things worsen. The crying was full of sadness and horror... as well as rage.'' ''With tears streamed down her cheeks, Esther immediately turned back in guilt and horror. She was horrified by those vituperative ranting out of nowhere. However, she was suddenly tripped over and dropped. Then, she found herself slowly sinking into sands.  Esther struggled hard inside the quicksand, but it only made her sink faster and faster. Esther closed her eyes and bit her lips so hard that they bled.'' ''Before she could finish her words of dark humor, Esther felt someone grabbed her hand, someone strong and tough. She then looked up to the person almost immediately, feeling shocked to find that it was none other than Tres Iqus.''
 * People: WRETCH! MURDERER! YOU'LL ROT IN HELL, THE COLLABORATOR TO THAT WRETCHED AND CORRUPT FALSE POPE! YOU SHOULD HANG YOURSELF!
 * 00_107-M.pngEsther: QUICKSAND!!!
 * Esther: (think) * Yup, that's it. I had it coming... I'm done here. You won't see me in the next-- *

Or, more precisely, this is just a hallucination of Tres appering inside Esther's dream. ''Esther's face sunk into the sand before she could had herself finished. Tres didn't answer. He just pulled Esther out of the quicksand before her torso sunk into it. He pulled her with his superhuman strength, and then Esther was pulled out of the quicksand. She immediately start crawling on the ground and started to cough out sand.'' ''All of a sudden, just as Tres was about to finish, the sky itself was covered in thick black cloud as if a big bottle of ink was poured on it. Perhaps, a tempest and/or downpour would strike this barren desert.''
 * Esther: Tres...
 * Estherblanchett7.jpgTres: I guess it's not too late. I guess there's someone here to see you.

''Esther stood up and looked around, but she found no one other than Tres were around. This confusion didn't end until Tres petted her shoulders and pointed at one certain area.'' ''Confused, Esther looked aside and looked at where Tres pointed at her. What she saw astonished her completely. Esther saw Mary Spencer and Jane Judith Jocelyn sitting not far away. Jane Judith was lighting up a cigarette for Spencer, and Esther could hear them talking.'' Esther was so desperate that she immediately yelled in desperation. ''All of a sudden, Spencer and Jane Judith disappeared, and it began to rain cats and dogs, which sounds strange to someone in a barren desert. With a loud thunder, as if the heavy cloud exploded all of a sudden, the rain began to fell from the sky. Esther looked around to look for her sister.'' ''Esther turned back and was shocked that Spencer stood behind her. She was still that Mary Spencer she knew, a woman with a tall, slender build and a brown hair, always wearing military uniform.''
 * 6fc26f7adab44aeMd477ee83eb11c8701a08bfb17.pngTres: Over there.
 * Jane Judith: Now, not so worthy to kill me? Lady Spencer, I once thought I could stay beside you and make you queen, but sadly, you still treat me as a criminal.
 * X00_00_01--20180307-095534-0-.pngSpencer: I still despise you, Jane, but after all, we're both dead now. It is no use that we bite each others like dogs, but...
 * Esther: SISTER!!!
 * Spencer: Esther?

''However, now Spencer no longer had a bun on her head. Instead, she let her waist-long hair down, and they covered her shoulder. Now, she was covered fully in rain.  Esther cannot believe her eyes. Just a few days ago, Esther saw Spencer being mutilated by Carl right in front of her, and that marked the time she turned her back on Carl completely. However, she now had some complictated feelings for Carl, since Terra of the Left had informed her that Carl was lured by none other than Spencer into his fateful trap that trapped him.'' ''Spencer let out a sad smile as rain drops started to flown down her cheeks. At this very moment, Esther trembled in sadness and fear.'' ''Spencer had her expression remained unchanged. She just lower her head a little bit and started to let out a sad chuckle.'' Esther was horrified as soon as she heard the truth and she immediately stepped back.
 * 00_107-1955X36.pngEsther: S-Sister? Is that really you? ...... No. No, I saw you dead... Are you real or just a hallucination?
 * Spencer: Tres behind you is a hallucination, formed by the desire of you to see me again, my dearest. However, I'm real. I'm now a soul in Purgatory, getting ready to be purified, but I wanted to see you again...
 * Esther: Please allow me to ask you something, sister... What drove you turn against us all? That blade is one thing, but something must be wrong inside your mind, am I right?
 * Spencer: You know what, Esther? I had a bad dream after your hallucination. I dreamed my mother... who claimed that your mother, the queen, had already murdered her...
 * Spencer: I at first doubt it. Then, His Holiness proved it with his vision, right after your own coronation. He said my mother died of lead poisoning, and your mother did this so that she could usurped the queen position...

''Hearing this, Esther was horrified that she heard about the truth and lowed down her head in shame. She realized that it was her sister who was on her family's formal matrimony, but Esther's mother stripped that legimate state from Esther.'' Spencer nodded her head with a deep sigh. ''Esther immediately felt her heart was hit by just another hit. She realized that Maria was trying to prevent Carl from killing Spencer because she did it for Esther herself, trying to save Spencer as much as possible... Speak of Carl...'' ''Instantly, Esther stopped acting horrified and took a deep breath, looking at Spencer in a serious face. Spencer seemed surprised by Esther's expression.'' ''Esther closed her eyes and had a vision inside her head. She saw Carl being trapped inside the trap set up for him, being deserted by his traitorous fomer comrades, while Lady Mary Spencer, the person who guided him into the trap, stood aside and did nothing, only letting Michael, Carissa and their lined-up troops to take Carl away.'' ''The vision ended with Michael's sacarstic taunt to Carl. Esther then snapped out of her imagination as soon as she heard Michael's taunt. It was not just an imagination. It was real...  Spencer didn't answer. Esther was so desperate that she broke from her usually innoncent and calm nature. She immediately went forward, but Tres had blocked her way.'' Esther pushed Tres' arm aside and went closer to Spencer, who remained silent. ''Esther cried in despair and raised her arm, so that she could had a reach on her sister's shoulders and shook them in desperation. Spencer remained calm at first, until she heard Esther proclaimed that the Pope used her as a sacrificial lamb.'' ''After looking at Esther in a pair of eyes full of nothing but blank astonishment, Spencer sighed in a sad face. It took five seconds for her to move her trembling pale lips.''
 * Esther: Did Arzonia know the fact?
 * Spencer: Arzonia had a little discussion with me. She is also an illegiminate child, so I guess she really understand me, but I didn't realize it at first. She then said that she tried hard to keep me alive because of you...
 * Reckless.Fist.(Raven).full.921071.jpgEsther: It was you, right?
 * Spencer: What do you mean it was me?
 * Michael: (in hallucination) So, you're Firenza Junior...
 * The_Terra_of_the_Left.jpgEsther: Terra of the Left claimed that it was you, sister, who lured Carl into that trap His Holiness set up all along. That's the true reason behind his distrust to you and the true reason of him murdering you, right?
 * Tres: Hey, why are you...
 * Esther: Out of my way!
 * Esther: He never mentioned the reason to me, and now I know why. Your action made him cynical and distrustful to you, right? TELL ME THIS ISN'T TRUE, SISTER! IF TERRA IS TELLING THE TRUTH, THAT MEANS HIS HOLINESS USED YOU AS A SACRIFICIAL LAMB!!!
 * Esther: Yes, Terra also said that your death is a sacrifice to make Carl into insanity and being cast out of Arzonia Family for his murder on you, sister... If he's telling the truth... then we... we're all just pawns.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Spencer: For the first time in my life, I came to hear that Terra tell the truth. '

''Horrified, Esther immediately went straight forward. For the very first time of her life, she was furious at her once-beloved sister. Tres tried to stop Esther, but it was too late.'' ''Esther now had finally developed a sympathy upon what happened on Carl, realizing what drove him into such a monster he now is. However, she was even more angry that she realized Terra was telling the truth, that Spencer was just a pawn served to make Firenza Blood upgrade its power and turn Carl nasty. Widening her gaze so desperately, Esther's eyes was about to popped out.'' Knowing there was no way to hide or escape from such accusation, Spencer sighed and decided to look into Esther's eyes so that she can confess all of the things. Silently calming herself down, Esther heard her sister's confession and started to remember what she did after she was drugged by the blood of Firenza Junior and had her berserk triggered by her best friend being hurt... Esther looked down on the ground and let her tears silently flowed down her cheeks. ''Spencer looked at her sister with sorrow, feeling regretful for what was brought upon Esther. Then, she leaned forward and started to whisper to Esther.'' Esther's eyes widened immediately again...
 * Esther: WHY!!? Why did you agree to do such a thing? Why didn't you tell me?
 * Trinity.Blood.full.105382.jpgSpencer: Because... His Holiness and Mother Superior want to protect you... Because they still need you, I guess.
 * Spencer: Mother Superior told me that the blood of Firenza Junior... of Carl Robinson... is required due to her attempt to cleanse the world from its cruelty and apathy... I at first thought it was a well intention, so I joined their cause, but His Holiness avoided me to tell you all of this, since he claimed that he wanted to protect you... so I decided to help them to lure Carl Robinson into that trap, since I found this world of war hellish and corrupt, and I also want a good place for all of us. Now, judging by Terra's words, I realized that I only was a pawn for His Holiness used to destroy the world...
 * Esther.Blanchett.full.204954.jpgEsther: Then, so am I...
 * Esther: What should I do...
 * Spencer: Do what you believe is right. You once thought Maria Arzonia is your final hope after Nio coerced you to Russian Resistance Base... Now, you need Arzonia to save Abel, and she needs you as well. Find her, and please remember to tell Carl... if you ever met him and he was saved from his status... Tell him that I owe him a late arrival apology.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Esther: Arzonia...

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> The Hall of Suit's Ruins 

Still soaked with water and still felt gloomy, Esther started to tremble, feeling that she was falling into a dark and deep pit. ''Esther's opened her eyes. Her eyes returned back to blue, but the black veins was still surrounded it. She looked around with narrowed eyes. She find herself in a white blanket covered on her. Noelle, now in her normal human form, was standing beside Esther.'' ''Esther looked around, seeing the Hall of Suits... more like a Hall of Ruins now. The feeling of guilt drenched over Esther as she gazed upon the utterly dreadful mess. She saw bodies on the ground, which were covered in shrouds. Those were nuns, soidiers and priests working for the Catholic Rebels, as well as refugees who seeked sactuary. There were also some ordinary civilians that was caught in the mad crossfire.'' ''All of a sudden, Esther's tears flowed form her wide-opened eyes once again, realizing those people were once living, until she fired shots on them during her irrational rampage of revenge. Now, thanks to the Water of Life, Esther returned back into the senses, but still, the Firenza Blood was inside her. It was only a matter of time for her to start a madness of killing again, if Catholic Rebels didn't do anything.'' ''Drenched in guilt, Esther plundged her head into her own knees and started to cry. Noelle petted Esther's shoulder and start comforting her.'' ''Esther didn't answer. She only thought about her sister Spencer on that fateful night which took her life and Carl's rationality. Esther never realized that it was only a ploy set up by Michael all along. She thought about Spencer's deraged manner during that night when she was possessed by the Byzantine Parang, which was now thrown away by Maria to end its madness.'' ''Because of such difficulties to admit, Esther had to push the words between her clenched teeth in a voice of mummur. Noelle was surprised and confused, but then she discovered that Esther turned her head to face the nun.'' Hearing the words of Esther, Noelle was surprised and widened her eyes in shock. Esther nodded and told everything happened inside her own dream, which immediately extended to two vital informations. Noelle was astounded after hearing this. ''Esther then closed her eyes and thought about Abel, who was buried alive by Nio and his status is still unknown. She didn't answer Noelle's words at first, before she started to look at her own hands. They seemed clean, but Esther had an illusions that her hands were covered in blood of innoncent people.'' ''Esther yelled the second half of the sentence and startled everyone inside the hall. She stood up from her seat, which was revealed to be Carl's Pica Seat, now covered in bullet holes. People all around were looking at Esther and were nervouse. Esther was visibly shaken, so far they noticed. There were still black veins around her eyes, and her attitude was still as agressive as Carl.'' ''Panicked, Noelle immediately walked to Esther immediately, followed by Tres, Sister Kate and Misha behind her, in case that Esther lost control once again. However, when they approved Esther, the discovered that Esther was perfectly fine for now and knew what she was saying and doing. Katya immediately noticed Esther's words and narrowed her gaze, as if she was wondering what Esther was trying to do. Misha then covered her face and spoke in a sacarstic way.'' ''Esther gulped when she spoke about the word "His Holiness" to adress Michael... but then she changed. She started to adress him with his full name... no longer with respect, but rather with disgust.'' ''Esther's words make people around all shocked by her words and started to discuss it. Katya looked at them and sighed in a sacarstic way.'' ''Valnir and Gaius stood silently beside Katya. Beside them, Ivy were serving them herb tea and were talking to Yuri before she heard Esther giving her speech. Now, they all foucused on Esther. In a face of awe, Ivy realized that Esther wanted to help out, before she smiled out of relief, watching Esther to continue.'' Esther then lower her head for a moment, before she lifted it up again quickly.
 * Esther: Where... am I?
 * Anime_Noélle_Bor_46546464.jpgNoelle: You're in the Hall of Suits, and now you're safe.
 * 2334a36acaf2Xedda23cc7b97eacd0be93901203f92ef.pngEsther: They... they're...
 * Esther: I... I killed them...
 * X0b55b31ee9ewb2333c4b7459465a130ccfc1e178a52s6.pngNoelle: You didn't kill them. It was Nio Hashiri. She forced your hand to slaughter those people. It is her who will be responsible, not you.
 * Esther: Maria Arzonia is right. His Holiness is... is a villain.
 * 9f2f070828381f302d35eedea9014c086e06f09d.jpgEsther: Sister Noelle, I had a dream of my sister... Mary Spencer... I thought it was just a hallucination of myself, but turned out it was really her purified soul...
 * Noelle: Mary Spencer? You dreamed of Lady Mary Spencer?
 * 1) First, Mary Spencer was the one who lured Carl into Michael's trap, and that explained the great mystery why Carl remained hostile to Lady Spencer and eventually killed her.
 * 2) Second, Spencer and Esther are both Michael's pawns in his evil plan to fuel Carl's hatred on the world, so that Michael can manipulate the blood of Carl as well as the dark mind of Carl together.
 * Noelle: Crisps. So Michael and Melancholia set this all up all along... and we're all playing his game...
 * 0_39_27--20180122-091508-5-.pngEsther: It was all because of my ignorance that killed my sister and caused Abel to be buried alive... and I want to mend this myself!
 * Esther: LISTEN UP, FRIENDS FROM THE CATHOLIC REBELS AND THE RUSSIAN RESISTANCE! ALL OF YOU! IN THE NAME OF GOD, I, ESTHER BLANCHETT, WILL TAKE CREDIT FOR WHAT HAPPENED TODAY AND THREE DAYS AGO! YOU'RE ALL GIVING UP AND TRYING TO HIDE!?
 * Misha: You started it.
 * Esther: Then, I'll end it! Perhaps, Firenza Blood wants me to show my true self... and that is my answer to it! My true self is an atoner! WHO I CHOOSE TO BE! His Holiness... * gulp * no, Michael Langdon...
 * Esther: ... as well as Nio Hashiri, Melancholia and Terra of the Left... deceived me... They deceived us all... but I came to realize that it is not too late to atone. I don't want you to trust me. I know I'm now condemned as a brutal butcher. However, since my ignorance had made my best friend into danger, I have to react. Thanks to Firenza Blood, I'm done with pretending, and now... I hearby announce my temporary alliance to Arzonia Family.
 * Katya: Good Lord. They don't even know what is going on... but we do.
 * Esther: Now, deep inside the United Kingdom, a horrid plan is forming and is about to devour us all, and Cardinal Caterina Sforza - someone who I see as a mother - is still missing... I came to realize that if I haven't do something to mend it right now, we'll all fall.
 * Esther: Therefore, we'll head into London and stop the plans of Langdon Orphans. I don't want your forgiveness. I just want to make sure that you know I'll atone all of this.

''Esther then turned back and went to face the seat of Suits, with her smile faded. The barrier of her emotions all of a sudden bursted and she slowly lost her composure. Then, she covered her face and started to cry bitterly. Then, Tres, Misha and Noelle immediately went to comfort Esther.''

''People around then started to looked at each other... but then, a thunderous applause started to flow like tidal waves when Esther gave her confession speech. Catholic Rebels had already explained the reason of Esther's bahavior, and no one actually blamed Esther for this massacre. Esther heard the applause and turned back in a face of astonishment.'' ''Seeing people appaluding around her made Esther relieved. She never knew that people didn't blame her for the massacre today, but she was at least glad that people started to accept her atonement.'' ''Esther smiled like a innoncent child once again, feeling happy that people supported her. Just then, she noticed that there were someone approaching her. It was Poison Ivy, Villian and Yuri Barnes, with the Witch Cult members behind her.'' Esther shook her head in her Stepford Smile, but then she spoke in a serious manner and a serious expression. Esther then turned to Noelle with her eyes narrowed. ''Hearing Esther's words, Noelle, Tres, Villian, Misha and Ivy all smiled together in relief once noticing that Esther finally made her mind. Now, people around them were doing their own works again, but with Esther's encouragement, they made them more effective. Ivy then turned to smile at Katya.'' ''Poison Ivy then smirked and lifted her rose red lips. Everyone knew her lips are covered in poisonous lipsticks and that made her smile seemed a lot more dangerous than its eerie manner. Hearing the words "Witch Cult", Noelle and Esther were shocked. Tres were not seemed so surprised. He just lifted his eyes in curiosity.  Before Ivy could finish, Katya then raised her hand and summoned a blue portal.'' ''Katya finished her words and led Valnir and Gaius went into the portal one by one, before they finally disappeared, but the portal was still there.  Ivy stepped aside and make ways for Esther. She was impressed by Esther's speech of atonement just a minute ago, and she made way for Esther in a humble way that didn't even match her usual nature. Misha, Noelle, Yuri, Villian and Tres all did the same, in spite of with a visage of confusion on each of them.'' Esther then closed her eyes and walked into the portal, with the rest of the people following her one by one, followed by more Arzonia Family magicians and members.

 * Esther: I'll return back to Madrid, but I'll inflitrate into Michael's church to give you vital informations. I know he once saved me, but I need to stop him now. I realized that my ignorance compromised us all, and I only came to understand this once I became the one who was compromised.
 * Esther: Sister, remember to take your blue crystal that can summon the Water of Life. I have no idea what it is, but I'm sure it'll make a cure once the disaster strikes. Abel is now in danger, and perhaps many more are standing on a tickling time bomb. We have to move fast, all of us.
 * Poison Ivy: So, we'll now head into London right now. Would you please do us a favor, people from the Witch Cult? Arzonia will be rapturous to see you helping her, I think.
 * Poison Ivy: We already knew that Melancholia knows the demon king you're fighting against, and she lives longer than any of us... MORE THAN 2,000 YEARS OLD. We need to put a stop in her plan as soon as possible, and then we'll be free from our business.
 * Katya: You already asked for it, Dr. Isley. Now, let us go to meet this Arzonia. Let's go, Gaius and Valnir, as soon as possible.
 * Poison Ivy: Please, Your Majesty.
 * Poison Ivy: After you.

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





<p style="text-align:center;"> 5 minutes later 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Act 10 (final) - Calm Before the Storm
<p style="text-align:center;"> 2 minutes later  <p style="text-align:center;"> Scotland Yard 

''Hung up her phone and looked at the ceiling of Scotland Yard, Villian was getting more and more distraught, worrying about Abel, Vaclav and Sforza. Esther had tied herself up with Chain Viper in order not to make herself out of control, while Maria was holding the chain tightly.'' ''Maria then thought about what Krans and Yuri just informed her... some demonic entity who stared a collaboration with Melancholia for now...'' Maria suddenly heard an unfriendly voice coming from her left side, and she frowned her eyebrows.
 * Villian: There's still no sign of 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?
 * 65227329_p0_master1200.jpgMaria: Sorry for being rude, but that's not the way you speak Spanish.

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

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

Kaori glared at Matt and narrowed his eyes.

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

''Horrifyingly to her, those memories never fade even after Maria was snapped from her brainwashing, as if they were carved inside Maria's mind. However, she immediately cooled herself down, knowing that it was not the time for any quarrell.'' Maria was making a reference in her speech to pay homage to Zhou Enlai during his participate in Asian–African Conference nearly eighty years ago, in order to persuade others to seek the same goal and put the differences aside. ''Speaking in a calm voice as composed as possible, Maria's words made those London police as well as the Church of England's members looked at each other. Stiyl lifted his lips a bit.'' ''Hearing Stiyl's words, Kaori immediately turned to Stiyl with a shocked face. She could hardly believe that Stiyl approved Maria so easily'' ''Saddened, Kaori then turned to Maria with a menacing face, but was more composed and less agressive. She then noticed Princess Villian on Arzonia Family's side, and then she sighed again, face-palming herself in a fit of dismay.'' ''Kaori then turned back and walked away with all of her colleagues. More than a month ago, they all witnessed Cyborg Maria's murderous attempt to take Acqua of the Back's life, and they couldn't trust her. Maria watched them walked away and touched her own cheek. She still felt burning pain due to that slap, hinting how brutal and aggresive Kaori's strength was.'' Maria then stopped thinking and immediately used hold the phone inside her hand. ''Maria then dialed the number of Rimea's phone and desperately waiting for the news to come. She knew that Princess Rimea always had an idea to rescue Abel from that dreadful situation.'' Then, she heard a desperate female voice coming from the phone. ''Maria was panicked. Rimea's voice seemed weak and desperate, as if she was out of any idea to save Abel from such situation. Esther noticed Maria's facial expressions, and it drew her concern as well.'' Rimea let out a sad sigh, as Maria's heartbeat turned faster and faster. ''Maria didn't listen to what Rimea said about things of Old Bailey. Slowly, the phone on Maria's hand dropped before it fell in front of her feet, right after Rimea said that Abel took the Firenza Blood. A despaired and agonized expression was on the face of Maria. She was devastated that the news came to her. Between those sadistic choice, Abel still surrendered to madness for survival.'' ''Maria sat on her armchair in a face full of despair, as gray as cooled down ashes. The news that Abel injected himself with Firenza Blood made her utterly crushed. Matt immediately picked up the phone and continued to converse with the First Princess, while looking at Maria with concern. Her movements were like a stone which was thrown into a peaceful lake. Everyone stopped and looked at Maria. Kaori turned to look at Maria as soon as she heard the phone which dropped on the ground.  Esther heard Maria's words and immediately rushed to Maria. Feeling utterly sick, Esther's mind suddenly had a horrid feelings rushed through her brain like electric current.'' ''With her eyes wet, Maria turned her face to Esther and closed her eyes. Tears streamed down her own cheeks. Esther was devastated by Maria's news as well.'' ''Maria let out a sigh and stood up from her chair, as her mind wandered back into her dark and troubled past again. A young girl running and crying in an alley, a young girl who was coerced to give a boom-headshot to two unarmed civillains, a young girl who was turned into a Cyborg and killed many people...'' ''Maria raised her head and closed her eyes, allowing her own tears streamed down her cheeks. Kaori saw Maria's reactions and suddenly widened her eyes.'' ''For now, Maria was like placing herself inside a dark void where nothing existed around her. Maria started to hate herself. If she never pulled the trigger and tried to disobey her brothers sooner, Mr. and Mrs. Robison might not die, so that Carl won't blame the bad things on her at all.'' ''If she returned back to the Russian Resistance Base with others instead of playing with the awful and petty mind game of Melancholia in order to seek out truths, Abel won't went back to Europe alone with that syringe of Firenza Blood. This had benefitted Nio's vicious plans.'' Not far away, 'Kaori silently watched Maria's remorse, with a complicated feelings inside her. ''For some instance, Kaori still treated Maria as a Cyborg. She had killed many KnightWalker Family Cyborgs and saw them as remorseless and emotionless pet dogs of Eckidina. Therefore, she had no empathy on all of them.'' ''However, seeing Maria shed tears made Kaori was shocked. Then, she saw Magilou, Esther and Sumireko went to Maria and Esther, starting to confort them for what happened on Abel. Matt hung up his phone in a rush and went to comfort Maria, and he hugged her inside his arms.'' ''Kaori seemed confused, especially seeing Maria being comforted by Matt. She realized that Matt did this for a reason, but she was still confused.'' ''Just then, Kaori returned back to her senses and snapped out from her confusion. She heard Matt telling Maria about something.'' Maria heard the news that Vaclav Havel was safe and sound, as her eyes lit up, but she immediately reacted in horror and anger when she heard Vaclav was chained by Melancholia and Fiamma inside Old Bailey. ''Maria immediately rolled her eyes and start thinking about the solution. She never expected that Fiamma of the Right was inside London with Melancholia as well. She remembered that Fiamma of the Right had mentioned about some superweapon named Star of Bethlehem which was once considered to put into the use, but she thought Michael stripped Fiamma from the power and would never use him again.'' Then, she immediately made a turn to the door, with her face covered in shadows. ''As Maria was giving out her orders to the agents from the Catholic Rebels, Adam immediately drew his two axes and followed Maria's pace. Eva and Matt followed Adam with their respective weapons.'' ''Adam was slightly confused, but he didn't hestitate on following Maria's pace. The group was also followed by several rebel soldiers and magicians. They immediately left the Scotland Yard, leaving many police officers in bewilderment. Those police, like what we read from detective novels or saw from some fictional stories, were by-the-book allies. Maria was wise not to make those by-the-book cops to take control in this action, as there was no time to waste and she had to act immediately.'' ''The police officers looked at each other and started to discuss about Maria's movements. However, their discussion were heard by Princess Villian not far away, who was arranging the guarding.'' ''While arranging documents and guarding needs, Villian spoke those words in a manner of a general disciplining his subordinates, and those police officers went quiet immediately. Watching Villian from not far away, Kaori lowed down her head and sighed.'' As she was looking at the gate where Maria just left, Kaori was approached by Sumireko, who had just made the knights and soldiers from Pica Army to be in their position in case Melancholia attack the Yard in any moment. ''With a smile, Sumireko looked aside and looked at Poison Ivy, who was busy in writing reports and arranging the doctors in Scotland Yard to figure out a cure for Firenza Blood as soon as possible, albeit still holding her signature rose inside her hand. She was also writing things on the paper, like "Water of Life" and "Patriarch's Blood" on the paper, with a "speculation" beside those two words.'' Kaori was surprised to see Poison Ivy, a once notorious supervillain, was inside Maria's group trying to help out, but she was even more surprised when Sumireko said "Familia", as its written form means "family" in various language like Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, etc. ''Kaori didn't answer, but she fell into thoughts. Just then, Poison Ivy's face turned angry and she stood up. She snatched a fire extinguisher and went to Stiyl Magnus sitting not far away.  Poison Ivy was corrected, as Stiyl had smoke three cigarretts during his ten minutes' stay in Scotland Yard. After all, it was his habit, but Ivy actually hated men smoking. However, she was not trying to be too agreesive and tried to be polite.'' ''In spite of this, with a scornful face, Styil just leered at Ivy's own fire extinguisher. He then looked away from Ivy and continued smoking.'' ''Ivy was pissed off. She bit her lips and then, she had an idea all of a sudden. She then pointed at the door and yelled like a cheerful child.'' ''Stiyl immediately took a look at the door, but he found no one there. However, Ivy reverted back to her normal serious personality immediately, and she opened the fire extinguisher and sprayed it to Stiyl, soaking himself in water and foams.'' ''Stiyl was so surprised when he was soaked, that he dropped the cigarette, which the water had put it out anyway. Ivy walked to the cigarette, picking it up, throwing it into a bin and went back working, as if nothing happened before. From not far away, Villian, Magilou, Sumireko and Kaori all looked with a massive face fault on their face.'' ''Sumireko chuckled at Kaori with embarrasement. Kaori worryingly looked at Stiyl. Stiyl, however, seemed not mind that he was soaked. He smiled and lowed down his head.'' Kaori then thought about Sumireko's words and then, with her eyes sharpened, she lifted her head...
 * Joan.Alter.full.2249931.jpgMaria: Okay, I see we have difference. That's why I believe Zhou Enlai, the first Premier of the People's Republic of China, has his own good point in this. To be honest, we're here not for seeking any differences.
 * Maria: Now, Melancholia is out there, trying to put a demonic blood breakout inside this city, and we're to seek for the same goal. We need to keep our own odds to ourselves, as our goals are the same. If you call me a sinner, then I'm here for atonement. We all fight against Eckidina KnightWalker, not between ourselves.
 * Stiyl: I guess she has a point there, Kaori. You should put your grudge aside.
 * Kaori: But... * sigh *
 * Kaori: If you want to help us with a same goal, if you want to atone your sins, then prove it with your actions, Arzonia. Before that, please stay away from me.
 * Maria: I don't blame her... I don't blame her any longer. She does have a point. I did horrible things before... and that's why I'll one day rip Eckidina's face from her deformed skull.
 * Maria: (think) * At least, Princess Rimea isn't that brutal or agreesive... I must phone her quickly. *
 * Rimea: (phone) [Arzonia?]
 * Maria: W-what happened, Your Highness?
 * Rimea: (phone) [I'm sorry. We can't find Abel anywhere. Nio buried him quite hidden and deep. I had no choice but to make him to take the Firenza Blood syringe so that he can broke free, but then he turned into a murderous form of vampire... We have to find him. Now, I'm in Old Bailey and I need to tell you that--]
 * Abel.Nightroad.full.1665411.jpgRimea: (voice) [Maria? Maria!?]
 * Maria: I should think it through... I should think it through... I thought there was always another way to make Abel escape without taking that blood syringe...
 * Esther: Abel... had...
 * 62082196_p0_master1200.jpgMaria: Sorry, Esther, but now we should now operate a manhunt. We must find Abel and find the cure that can heal him, before he falls into such a horrid situation...
 * Maria: My punishment... After all... This is all my punishment.
 * Kaori: (think) * She... She's crying? *
 * Kaori: (think) * Who are you really are, Maria Arzonia? *
 * Matt: Don't worry, Maria. Her Highness also said that her minions had found Lord Vaclav alive and well, but he was chained in Old Bailey, being captured by the forces of Melancholia. Fiamma of the Right is with him.
 * Maria: Old Bailey? That's a courthouse!
 * Maria: (think) * It must because of my actions, which drove Michael into using Fiamma and possibly the Star of Bethlehem... I must stop him as soon as possible. *
 * Maria: Adam, Eva, Matt, please come with me. We'll head to Old Bailey. Sumireko, please call our guards and persuade the police. We must find Abel as soon as possible, and we'll heal him before he could hurt anyone else, and...
 * Adam: How and why did Lord Vaclav come to this place full of uncertainty, anyway?
 * Asseylum.Vers.Allusia.full.1854239.jpgPolice officer 1: They didn't even ask of any permission from our superiors.
 * Police officer 2: We should allow our inspector to get our troops line up.
 * Villian: I know you guys have such of a feeling that this was going to be messy, but I'm telling you that this is a rebellion against the current false pope, not a normal activities of criminal capturing. If she wait for the inspector's orders, we'll going after a corpse and chasing the rumors. Besides, Arzonia served her free will, not the Anglican Church or the Yard. People, please, let's believe in her.
 * Kaori: Hmm... She served her free will...
 * Sumireko: Ah, that's who she is. In fact, I was once hostile to her as well, until she accept me without even minding that I was a KnightWalker Family Cyborg. Ms. Kazenki, you might think Arzonia and us are here because we want to take down the Protestant Church. Not at all. In fact, we're just trying to bring back a friend of us, and we'll help you defeat Michael Langdon's force. After all, not everyone in La Nueva Familia de Arzonia are Catholics, some are even atheists, like Poison Ivy over there...
 * Kaori: Familia? You mean... family?
 * Sumireko: Matt told me that Catholic Rebel is just our official name for the public, but we're in fact having another name for our organization, "The New Family of Arzonia", albeit in Spanish. I came to realize that all these days, Maria never wants conquer someone. She wants freedom, peace and love, as well as a family. She never had a real family to begin with. You know how much decadence was filled in the original Arzonia Family... That's why we're devoted to her, because we were once all lost souls tormented by the worlds' cruelty. However, she treats us as kindred spirit. I don't know why she had so much of idealistic view on life, but that's not too bad, right?
 * Poison Ivy: I'm sorry, Mr. Magnus, but we actually don't allow smoking here.
 * Stiyl: Hmm...
 * 0034034905581859_b.jpgStiyl: Well, when did you got yourself a toy fire extinguisher, Ms. Ivy? Leave it to your garden, please.
 * Poison Ivy: Good morning, Archibishop!
 * Stock_sumireko_hanabusa_8_by_nio_hashiri-d7ma6xw.jpgPoison Ivy: I said no smoking here!
 * Sumireko: Well, you know, something hilarious will happen to us now...
 * Stiyl: Bold comrades you had, Arzonia...

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile  <p style="text-align:center;"> Vatican  <p style="text-align:center;"> Iscariot Section XIII 

''As it was stated, it was just a calm before a violent storm's arrival. Now, deep inside the St. Peter's Ballisca, under a place where the Pope seldom went into, there was a man shanding in the shadows. This was one of the people from Iscariot Section XIII, who was conversing with Carissa, billed as "??? - 1" in his debut.'' The man was hidden inside shadows and he knelt down and started to pray, with his eyes closed. ''The man finished his prayers and stood up, when suddenly the door opened and he was startled. A Papal Knight arrived in his room. The man turned back and saw the knight, before he laid eyes on the woman behind him...'' The man then went back and looked at Carissa, who smiled at him, before he laid his eyes on the knight once again. ''The knight bowed and left, and Carissa turned back to close the door. She then turned back to face the man in shadow once again.'' As Carissa was speaking in a calm voice, the man in shadows, whom she just adressed him as none other than Father Leonardo, started to approach her, revealing his face to her. ''This man named Leonardo is the current leader of Isacriot Section XIII. Alongside Pope Michael Langdon and Mother Superior Melancholia, he acts as one of the currently most powerful authorities in the Catholic Church.''
 * ??? - 1: May God unleash punishment upon the wicked being known as Firenza Junior and the devil within him. For justice, for the Church, and for his own salvation... Amen.
 * Roger_Murdock.pngKnight: Father, Princess Carissa are here. She said she has something to tell you.
 * ??? - 1: Leave now. I want to keep our talk as private as possible.
 * Carissa: I'm so sorry to disturb you so late, Father Leonardo, but I geniuely need you help. The thing is, Cardinal Borgia has already been captured by Catholic Rebels and now is under interrogation, but he'll then be transferred to Scotland Yard. I guess he won't make it tonight. His Holiness already said that he had already prepared a doppelganger of Borgia, who will act more loyal to us. Therefore, we'll desert that opportunistic person as soon as possible.
 * Leonardo:

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)
