 * August Corbin: Previously on LOTM: Crossover - The Corbin Files...

''Sitting on her throne with no one beside her, Carissa was sweating in a nervous mood. She closed her eyes and trying to control the impulse. Many voices are in her head, shouting at her and encouraging her to surrender to Eckidina KnightWalker.''

All of a sudden, Cairssa then had illusions of being surrounded by numerous hooded figures, shouting at her.
 * Voice 1: Carissa, why be so hypocritical?
 * Voice 2: Join the KnightWalker Family officially and listen to Eckidina's order, and Thames will still filled with ships and you are still the queen.
 * Voice 3: Acqua of the Back had became your greatest setback. He saved your prisoners and defeated the Knight Leader, and what will you have?
 * Carissa: NO! MAKE IT STOP! I WON'T OBEY ANYONE BUT MYSELF!

''Carissa then smashed the cup on her table before breathing angrily like a mad dog. Suddenly, she heard devious chuckles as every hooded figures became black mists and merged into one demonic shadow.''

''The shadow was so monstrous and disturbing. Carissa tried to control her feeling of fear.'' ''​The shadow let out a brutal chuckle as he looked at Carissa cowering in fear. Carissa tried to show her courage, but not knowing why, her courage was lost all of a sudden. The shadow then stopped chuckling. The person they were discussing about was the Unknown Grand Grimoire Figure.'' ​Carissa was annoyed. ''Enraged by the shadow's sarcasm, ​Carissa stood up from her throne while shivering, but she was trying to control her feeling. This shadow out of nowhere had made her terrified, so scared she was that she felt she was naked while standing in the cold South Pole.'' ​Carissa suddenly knocked her throne with her fist, interrupting the shadow's words. ​The shadow then informed the name to Carissa, and the latter reacted in surprise and then horror. ​The monstrous shadow laughed like a total psychopath before getting serious once again. ''​The shadow's charmful attitude in his speech had made the fear within Carissa's heart disappeared. Her pressed desire of power triggered by Terra's brainwashing dart had finally erupted. She then bowed to the shadow.'' The shadow muttered a name to Carissa before he finally disappeared with laughter...
 * Shadow: [You are so weak in your heart, Carissa, knowing your former minion had returned to fight against you, alongside your sisters and your lost cousin brother, Carl Robinson, who is now in Royal Air Force and did not know that he was in fact a royal member. All thanks to that "man" who made you like this.]
 * Carissa: Terra of the Left, right?
 * Shadow: [No, you don't understand. Terra of the Left? Don't make me hear jokes. There were already so many "fireworks" since Guy Fawkes Night, yet you don't need to add a "joking firework".]
 * Carissa: This is not a joke!
 * Shadow: [I know, I know, but that sounds like one because it was ridiculous. Terra of the Left is nothing more than a puppet to a much more insidious "man", acting on the "man"'s behalf. If you fell for it, then, well, at least one thing is certain: Terra's acting was brilliant.]
 * Carissa: Who are you?
 * Shadow: [Can't you notice my accent? I am also an English citizen, like you, but I was born in England on a parallel Earth. There are many Earths in this universe, and after many years of searching, I eventually found yours many years ago. Now, I am here as a shadow, merely because I cannot breach this reality for now, but that does not mean I cannot see everything happening on this forsaken planet. Carissa, you have to join the KnightWalker Family with all your heart since you have nowhere to go, no matter how hard you tried to justify yourself.]
 * Carissa: How do you know about my cousin? I thought he was very dead.
 * Some_hooded_figure.jpgw: [The "man" who made you like this had figure out that who had assassinate your mother's brother, also your maternal uncle - Duke Firenza. The killer of the duke was a woman with immortality and intelligent, but it was a shame when that woman tried to corrupt his survived child yet failed. Laura Stuart and found the child and saved him, and she managed to persuade a soldier - who is secretly a warlock yet abandoned magic - to raise him. The boy grew up in a military family and he never know his blood was within your veins, Carissa, with a special blood type. It was enjoyable to see your reactions. It seems that you never treated him as you cousin, Princess.]
 * Carissa: Enough! If you really know so much vital information, then tell me WHO ON EARTH THE "MAN" REALLY IS!
 * Shadow: [I don't know why it was so surprising. The "man" had too little ambitions so far, only trying to control a city-sized country, but I can see his potential power. His admirable quality is that he wanted to change history. He made a pact with a demon in the past, and he had the nerve to grab that dictator, Sonia Nevermind in his palm with simple tricks, and he even made her do anything he wants. I will find him as soon as he becomes the Pope. Now, I have more things to do after I leave this place.]
 * Carissa: Then, why do you find me?
 * 13313634-256-k960274.jpgw: [Good question. You really think the British Empire... and many other things on this Earth... was all being constructed in a world made by God? There will be no God anymore, since I don't believe in Him. The final shape of this whole universe, the construction of the modern humanity, were all the labors of that woman made of evil, and her sheer influence still remains even if she is dead now. I will be the one who kill God after making him cry with tears. You know, Carissa, your nation is full of disgrace and corruption. So many disgusting worms crawling in the streets, so many price to pay after Britain quit EU, and so many wrecks to clean during this war, but allow me to be on your side, be your mentor, so that you can make this nation strong again. You can solve all of those problems, and set up an Empire that will endure for eternity! I will return one day, and you will tell me your answer. Interested?]
 * Carissa: Forgive me, my lord. Would you please tell me your name? Your real name?
 * Shadow: Very well. For many years, people knows me in many names, and some names may be confusing to them or just nicknames. However, when they heard one much older name, they will all know that it refers to me... and they will bow down in fear. Here is this name and I hope you can remember it, which is...



<p style="text-align:center;"> - Shadow: The Fallen.

<p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">''However, Aureolos who arrived later with Carl and Matt had finally gets his chance and negates the phenomenon of cutting of the dimensions, preventing Carissa to create dimensional debris. Vulnerable to the Coven Compass' attacks, Carissa tries to defend herself. However, immediately afterwards, Aureolus used his magic skills on one of the incoming large-scale flash bombardments of Coven Compass. It hits the Griffin Sky mobile fortresses and hits Carissa through an opening in Curtana Original’s defenses. Carissa is then caught in a tremendous explosion.''

''The attack destroys the remaining Griffin Sky mobile fortresses but, after the explosion that nearly reduced the palace to ruins, Carissa remains standing and with only a few scratches on her body. Aureolus, Carl and others gasped in surprise, and Carissa turned to them with sheer malice.''


 * Carissa: You are still unable to harm me no matter how many you are. Now, it's time! FIRE!

''Carissa is calling the crew on her battle ship, Wimbleton, which is a destroyer type warship operated by the United Kingdom's Royal Navy. It is equipped with Bunker Cluster warheads. The ship was on English channel. It then start fire a cruise missile equipped with Bunker Cluster warhead towards Buckingham Palace, to everyone's horror when they saw the missile coming.''
 * Carissa: Meet Wimbleton, my friends. She will teach you some manners. At first, I was planning to use this ship against my mother after drawing her out using the Griffin Skies, but since they have been destroyed, I am forced to advance my schedule. I AM DONE PLAYING WITH YOU.

''Knowing of the destruction the missiles would cause and with only a minute before it reaches them, Kaori tries to use a large defense barrier with a 3 kilometer wide radius. Carissa tries to attack her using dimensional debris while Kaori is busy creating the barrier. Kaori is able to dodge it but the construction of her barrier is delayed. Kaori tries to create the barrier again. However, it is too late, the warhead splits and is able to get through the holes of the unfinished defense barrier.''

''In spite of this, however, 200 of the missiles exploded prematurely because of the barrier, sparing London. As the missiles were set by Carissa to detonate 5 meters underground, the missiles bury themselves into the ground before exploding in Buckingham Palace. Magicians present on the scene would later use defensive spells to weaken the destruction caused by the missiles that got through.''

''After the explosion, Carl tries to call out to his comrades but nobody would answer. He then saw Carissa standing unfazed by the explosion.'' ​Carl was surprised to hear Carissa called him cousin, but he then returned to his state of calm while regarding Carissa as an insane woman. ​Carissa smiled in an horrid manner as she glared at Carl.
 * Carissa: Poor dear cousin...
 * Carl: What?
 * Carissa: Have you got any hope left?

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Carissa: FIRE.

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

''Because of the environment, Michael and Knapp had to walked into the woods to find the secret entrance instead of driving. When Michael and Knapp arrived at the secret entrance and opened it, they saw Sonia, Kyouko and Rentaro coming out of the tunnel with Corbin. Sonia was surprised to see Michael.'' ''People all gasped in fear. Wasting no time, Knapp immediately runs to Corbin while Michael started to explain everything to the trio. They all reacted in horror when they realized that Serilda was about to revive herself.'' Kyouko then gave the map to Michael as Knapp went away with Corbin. ​Michael then ran towards the tunnel and disappeared into the darkness.
 * Sonia: What are you doing here, Michael?
 * Michael: There's no time. Serilda is about to revived! I'll explain to you later!
 * Danganronpa-12-1-kirigiri-kyouko.jpg: Sheriff, are you all right?
 * Corbin: Katarina is inside.
 * Michael: Indeed? Knapp, please escort Corbin back to his cabin, and please don't take your car or it might cause our enemies' attention. I'll find Katarina.
 * Kyouko: You'll need this. Don't worry, I had memorized the whole map. We'll wait for you.
 * Michael: Thank you. Wait for me.

​' Inside the tunnel '

Meanwhile, somewhere inside the tunnel, Misogi was digging something as Serilda looking at him. However, Misogi did not find anything at first. ''Suddenly, Misogi's shovel knocked into something very hard, and he immediately dug it out with his bare hands. It was a bag of bones. He then handed the bag over to Serilda as the latter reacted in satisfaction.'' ''On the other side of the tunnel, La Folia and others were running out of the tunnel when suddenly, La Folia stopped as she saw a dead man's corpse in front of them. Poison Ivy immediately rushed towards the corpse and checked it. She then spoke a name to everyone's shock.'' ''La Folia immediately went to Poison Ivy, who then opened the note that Frankenstein gave her. She then started to read the note while shivering.''
 * Misogi: No, really, I don't need help, as long as you're comfortable.
 * Misogi: It's been, what, 250 years? Maybe we've got the wrong spot.
 * Misogi: Uh... You're welcome.
 * Poison Ivy: It was Dr. Frankenstein. The note...

"Dear Adam Frankenstein, I am sincerely troubled by all of those past events that I can never let it go. I was trying to create a scientific miracles when I was studying the secret of life. I am sorry that I lied to you when I said I did not create you, but in fact, you are one of my first prototypes, and I gave you a brain of a martyr soldier. However, when I was about to awaken you, my assistant Igor suddenly disappeared, like being vaporized from air. Then, I decided that I will shun you into a chamber. Then, I was completely forgot about you. Eckidina KnightWalker and me met by chance, the former claimed that she will help me to achieve my dream, but eventually she ruined me. I became paranoid ever since, and I could not forgive myself, so I started to hate you and your kind, because I could not love you. However, I was overwhelmed by guilt and thought you was going to die because you killed my wife and my brother, but suddenly, out of nowhere, I started to blame myself as Aerisi Kalinoth whispered her wind of voice into my head. I did not know how she did it, or it was just a hallucination, but starting from that time, I began to forgive you. It was not your fault. It was Eckidina's fault, as Aerisi said, and she told me to sympathize with you. However, it was too late for me to give love to you. I know you may never forgive me, but I had forgave you. Maybe there is God who made you being discovered and being brought to life, with free will. Then, live freely with it. I must go, and I will exterminate Eckidina even if this might cause my demise. I was so lost in fanaticism, and if I have another life, I will never repeat the same mistake ever again. I have so many love that I did not gave you on time, Adam. Next time, if you meet my reincarnation (if there is), I will treat you as a friend. I mean it. To all else, farewell..."

- Dr. Victor Frankenstein P.S. Please allow me to call you "son".

''All of a sudden, everyone went silent in sadness after Ivy finished her reading. However, Ivy noticed this and immediately shouted out.'' ''La Folia immediately headed back to the Old Prison. Then, other people heeded La Folia's advice immediately ran the opposite way towards the tunnel's exit. However, six minutes later, they started to lost their way. Asuha immediately stopped and spoke something that startled everyone.'' Silence immediately filled everyone's throat as they faced this imminent danger hidden in the corridor...
 * Poison Ivy: We can discuss this later, but why don't we just leave this place as quick as possible?
 * La Folia: No, Ivy, I need to stay here. I must protect Katarina and find the bones of a dark witch. You guys get out, we're out of time!
 * Asuha: La Folia...
 * La Folia: Hurry!
 * Asuha: Oh, no! The map was inside Sister Mary Eunice's pocket! We have lost our way!
 * Mana: So... you mean we're gonna be trapped... in a place like this?

''Meanwhile, Serilda had arrived inside a open area within the tunnels, and she sat down and poured her bones out of her bag and then the ashes she collected from the urn. At this time, Misogi left as Serilda prepared for her resurrection, but was lost in the tunnel until Terra appeared and took him to Eckidina via teleportation.''

''After all of the preparation was made, Serilda calmly lied on the ashes and bones before reciting a spell. After that, all of the ashes and bones merged with Serilda's soul, restoring her flesh and healing her wounds.''

''In just a matter of seconds, Serilda revived completely. She then yelled in rage and pride, and her voice could be heard far away. Her horrifying voice echoed itself in the entire tunnel system.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Serilda: I AM YOUR SERVANT! MOLOCH SHALL RISE!!!'

''After completely revived, Serilda opened her eyes after she regained her flesh and shattered robes back again. Finally could speak, Serilda start mumble "Moloch Shall Rise" several times as she stood up.''

''Meanwhile, La Folia, who was searching for Misogi and Serilda, happened to heard Serilda's yelling. She ran towards the place and saw a revived Serilda. Reacted in utter horror, La Folia pointed her gun at Serilda and fired a shot.''
 * Serilda: Master... Please forgive me... This day comes so late...

''However, to La Folia's utter surprise, Serild simply turned in an inhuman speed before catching the bullet with her bare hand. Then, Serilda crushed the bullet in her hand.''

La Folia was so shocked that she could barely moved.
 * Serilda: Who are you?

Overcoming her shock, La Folia simply answered this following sentence before running away.
 * La Folia: I am the friend of Ichabod Crane! Catch me if you can!~

​Serilda was enraged and she fired a fire ball to La Folia while yelling.
 * Serilda: INSOLENT JUGGLING MESS! STOP!!!

The fire ball exploded near La Folia, and she fell because of the explosion.

''Near the entrance, Kyouko, Sonia and Rentaro returned back to the Munition Tunnel after they heard the explosion. They immediately went inside, led by Kyouko, to the place where the explosion happened.'' Meanwhile, Serilda regenerated her white robes and stood near La Folia who was crawling on the ground.
 * Rentaro: What was that? A bomb?
 * Kyouko: I am afraid it was worse than that. Sounds like Serilda was revived!
 * Sonia & Rentaro: What!?

Struggled to stand up, La Folia glared at Serilda.
 * Serilda: You said you are a friend... of Ichabod Crane, right?
 * La Folia: Yes, I am! Any questions?

​''Serilda kicked La Folia in her abdomen. Since Serilda is much taller than La Folia, it proved to be a easy task. La Folia collapsed before she was about to strike back.'' ''Serilda then ruthlessly stepped on La Folia's wrist, making her scream in pain. Being pressed for 240 years, Serilda had finally seized a chance to unleash her horrible rage.''
 * Serilda: The Cranes and Van Tassels made me suffer in horror and pain for 240 years! Now, my master is calling me. The blood moon has come, and I will make the Horseman of War rides on this world again... killing many. Do you have any companions?


 * Serilda: A girl like you can't go alone. Is there anyone helping you? Where is Crane!?
 * La Folia: You will never find them, and you will never know where Crane was buried because I don't know either... but even if I know, I will still refuse to talk!
 * Serilda: Fine, let me take you in front of my master. Let Lord Moloch have mercy on you little pathetic mortals... if he will.

''Serilda then turned back to summon a large, floating mirror in front of her and La Folia. La Folia watched with horror as a beastly and demonic figure had appeared inside the mirror.''

''​Moloch was so dreadful that he made La Folia shivered. She had no good luck today to meet this demonic monster twice.''
 * La Folia: Moloch?

(- Narrator: If someone full of skepticism like Agent Temperence "Bones" Brennan may dismisses Moloch as a tall man with skin condition, but La Folia is not skeptical...)

​La Folia reacted in horror as Moloch inside the mirror was trying to look into her soul.
 * Serilda: (to La Folia) Indeed. Now, you have no one to blame... but yourself!

''Serilda reacted in surprise. Then, Serilda took a look at La Folia and took her gun away from her.''
 * Moloch: [She is telling the truth. She does not know where Crane was buried.]

''​Hearing all of this, La Folia shivered in horror as she felt that Corbin's destined death... is near... and as for the rest of Moloch's words, she did not hear it clearly. She tried to say something, but she was to painful that she immediately passed out. She only heard Serilda muttered...''
 * Serilda: Then what are we going to do?
 * Moloch: [Use her as a hostage and slow down that red haired girl from future. She is this girl's best friend and are allied with the Witnesses. I had told her about you, hadn't I?]
 * Serilda: Yes, master, but what shall we do now? August Corbin escaped.
 * Moloch: [I have already set up this plan with that "man". He will let Eckidina KnightWalker to lure Abigail out to a place, and we  use the Horseman to create a homicide after we bring him back. Corbin is a duty-driven man and he WILL go for the case, and then... Abigail will see the most heartbreaking thing ever in her life, while Ichabod Crane, who will revive in the process...] 

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Serilda: Deal.

After she went back to the police office, Abbie Mills went straight back to Corbin's house and searched for Katarina, but was frustrated that she was gone as well.

''Abbie then sat on the sofa, wondering what was wrong. Just then, she heard a knock on the door. She went immediatly to open the door.''

''There was a tall girl with school uniform standing outside. Abbie was surprise since she never met the girl before.''

The girl stared at Abbie menacingly...
 * Abbie: Excuse me. Is Katarina sent you here?


 * Eckidina: She did not know I am here...



''As La Folia was confronting Serilda, Michael and Katarina immediately escaped the remaining monsters that were chasing them. They hid themselves behind a stone wall and was desperate trying to keep quiet. 10 seconds after that, the demonic shadows of Moloch stopped chasing and retreated back into the Purgatory as Sister Mary Eunice smashed the mirror and blocked Moloch's way.''

After that, Michael and Katarina both sighed in relief, and Katarina start worryingly looked at Michael. ''Katarina felt warm and grateful as she followed Michael into the tunnels, but they were lost. Michael lowered his head with sweats coming from his head.'' Michael brushed off the sweat on his forehead and sighed. Katarina crossed her arms in frustration as she unarmed herself to take a rest.
 * [[File:Scathach_fate_grand_order_and_fate_series_drawn_by_matsudora124_501844f2704j88294d6cd6c2b93c95ddd.jpg|thumb|328px]]Katarina: Situation is going bad...
 * Michael: There is something worse. I doubt that we were too late to stop Serilda. La Folia is in danger, and I will take you to her.
 * Katarina: It does not right. Why did we return back to this spot?
 * Michael: This place is just like a maze. I think only people who built it will know, or we need George Washington himself coming from his grave...
 * Katarina: You sounded different, Michael...
 * Michael: Indeed, now we are trapped. That is exactly... that Eckidina wants.

''Michael seemed to be surprised by the news provided by Katarina, and he lowered his head and thought for a while. Then, he replied.''
 * Katarina: Oh, great. Now, we're trapped, and the real mastermind is yet to be apprehended. Without Sister Mary Eunice, we can never get the Grand Grimoire from him or leave this tunnel.
 * Michael: Well, at least Corbin is safe and Nevins is dead. We will get Eckidina and Misogi, and of course, that mastermind... Wait, don't we confirmed that Terra of the Left was the mastermind?
 * Katarina: Terra of the Left is not a culprit, Michael. Inside that dungeon, I saw someone else with the Grand Grimoire beside him, and I am sure that this man is the real assassin, the man who brought all of this to us!


 * Michael: That's... utterly surprising...
 * Katarina: You see, I want to know the answer, about that unknown person who stole the Grand Grimoire, and we will get that book. I doubt that the book is currently in his hands, not Eckidina's. If he is not Terra of the Left, then who is that unknown figure?
 * Michael: Aye, indeed it is a serious matter, Katarina. We all know that... Perhaps, I you will soon know the true answer. I am very sure about this.

Hearing this, Katarina smiled with delight. She was happy to meet a trustworthy and brilliant friend like Michael.'

Michael simply shrugged his shoulders.
 * Katarina: Why are you being so sure?

Katarina was even more excited to hear about a more important reason that will lead her to answer, since she wanted the answer very eagerly.
 * Michael: Well, uh-hmm, that's because you are clever, brilliant, honorable and also being a tough person. However, there is another reason, a more important reason. You will soon know the answer just because of this.
 * Katarina: Really?

​Michael answered it with a smile.
 * Katarina: Tell me what it is!


 * Michael: Okay, it is because...

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



<p style="text-align:center;"> ''- Michael: ... because the answer is here, right here, staring you in the face.''

Katarina's smile faded in all of a sudden...
 * Katarina: Michael?

''Without warning, Katarina was thrown ar the wall with invisible force as Michael stared at her. Katarina had her back injured and bumped on the ground. She could barely move. When she looked up, to her shock and horror, there were two large open wings appeared behind Michael as he took off his gloves for Katarina to see. It was a hand with six fingers, and it soon turned to green with scaly, dry skin for a while...''

''That was exactly the same claw that Katarina encountered in her nightmare. Seeing this claw, Katarina shivered with fear as the claw returned back to more human like hand, albeit with six fingers.'' ​Michael can't stop chuckling and he chuckled in the way that Junko once did. Even if Katarina thought this sudden personalty change (as she thought) was too absurd and abnormal, Michael merely shook his head, just like treating another normal day in a white-collar worker's office.
 * Katarina: (thinking) His hand...
 * Michael: When you shook hands with me... did you find something different? Yes, I have six fingers each hand, 12 fingers in all. All of this... is prepared for your execution, and here I am in front of you - the judge, the jury, the lawyer, the justice... and the author of all these mischief. Pupupupupu...
 * Katarina: What are you talking about? Michael, I... don't understand. You seemed to change into someone else all of a sudden... Are you brainwashed by Junko?
 * Michael: No, Katarina, this is who I really am. I am tired of pretending. Sad to break it to you, but I am the real executioner of this whole plan. Now, as the plot proceed into its climax, let me explain everything. Now, I am talking about what you should know now.
 * Katarina: No, it cannot be... You must be joking...
 * Michael: Do you want to learn the Traveler's Spell so that you can return to your home? In fact, I can teach you. Don't worry that I will forgot something. It will not happen, because...

''With a malevolent smile and devious chuckle, Michael took a mask to cover his face and put himself inside a black hood. He then revealed the Grand Grimoire hiding inside his suit.''



<p style="text-align:center;"> - Michael: I am the master of this book.

Without any warning, Katarina screamed in horror...
 * Katarina: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!



<p style="text-align:center;">' - Unknown / Michael: Hush... '

The Munition Tunnel

 * Michael: Hush...

Michael took off his mask and hood with a malevolent grin, a grin that Katarina never saw before. Michael nodded and then chuckled. ​Katarina nervously looked at Michael, and she was still not believed that he is behind all of this. ​Michael then took a closer look at Katarina who immediately shivered. Micheal then unbuckled two of his buttons and revealed a red pendant on his neck - a pendant with red cresent. ''Katarina then started to review Michael's smiling face, his gentle spoken, his heroic moves... but the problem was, she realized that all of these were just lies. Finally realized that she was deceived all along, Katarina immediately bursted into tears, and Michael's face became much more serious.'' ''Katarina slapped Michael with anger and hatred in her eyes. After all she had suffered, Katarina finally see through Michael's dark heart under his mask of false benevolence.'' For a moment, Michael was silent, but then, a smile had appeared on his face once again. ''All of a sudden, Katarina realized that La Folia was hiding things from her, but she did not know what it is. She and La Folia had met for years, but she don't think she was hiding something from her.'' ​Even though she eagerly wanted to know about La Folia's family, Katarina asked another question. ''Michael grinned and he sat down in front of Katarina, talking to her as if they were still friends. Seeing Michael's attitude, Katarina relaxed a bit.''
 * Katarina: You are... the Unknown Figure?
 * Michael: "Unknown Figure", huh? Is that what you named me, my dear? Don't worry, Katarina. I won't be angry because you gave me a nickname. In fact, I have been called in many things - angel or demon, saint or wicked. However, to you, I have a much, much older name, a name that you perhaps will never forget in your life...
 * Michael: Give you some hint. Out of chaos, I will bring order. I will be crowned in Vatican and becomes St. Peter on my own. You should know who I am. The late Billie Dean Howard prophcized me... at least she died in your era. Since you are gonna die, I don't need you to keep it as a secret anymore, Katarina.
 * Katarina: Uh...
 * Michael: It's "Anti-Christ".
 * Michael: This, is the Blood Moon Wicked pendant of Serilda, the geniue one, given to me by Lord Moloch. I gave Misogi a replica to revive Serilda while keeping the real one. Using it, I will have immese power over Moloch's witch coven. From the ashes of the old order and the fire of the old era, I will rise a new world brighter than before. Now, do you believe me?
 * Michael: Don't cry, or you will not be beautiful anymore, Katarina.
 * Katarina: Why are you doing this, Michael? Why did you chose La Folia to frame?
 * Michael: Oh, Katarina, I'm afraid that there are too much informations inside it, something that you may not stand... but the point is, La Folia... is more than who you think.
 * Katarina: What?
 * La_Folia_Rihavein_A.pngel: La Folia's name was cleared, but framing her is not what I want. I want to make her status exposed to people who dearly wants to know it... including her family. She is a lot more complex than you think, but that never fooled me. I just want to be modest, and as soon as this is over, I will let you rot in this tunnel.
 * Katarina: Would you tell me your plan?

After all, Michael was not behaved so childish like Eckidina, even if now he seemed extreamly dangerous.

 * 112_Afterbirth.jpgel: (narrator) I will tell you my whole life if you want, but you must beware of vast informations. I was born on December 21, 2012, and it's just a few days ago to this day. I came to know that my mother, Vivien Harmond, was raped by my father, Tate Langdon, as a ghost. Because my father is a ghost, so I was born as an Anti-Christ as Billie Dean Howard, that sick medium, prophisized. She called me the seed of Satan, but I know she is just babling nonsence. When I was three years old, I killed my very first victim - my nanny, with a knife. When my grandmother, Constance, came back to see me in the cradle, I laughed at her. I could not believe that I was capable of taking a life. Constance tried to raise me once again, and it should be thanks to, but she then turned me to Billie Dean Howard, that hyporcrite whom I will never ever forgive.
 * Burning-city-2997x1688-id-18434.jpgMichael: (narrator) She sent me to a nursery school so that she can make me a good people. At first, I think "good" may be interesting and so I behaved friendly, but they all bullied me, and I realized that I should not behave that. I realized that I was showing frail, not kindness. I also discovered that the head teacher of our class, who is Billie Dean's brother, is cheating on his wife. One day, at a Halloween Party in 2022, when I was nearly 10 years old, I snapped because they all dressed up as a devil when I dressed up as a devil. They also mocked me to be an orphan and threw a Jack O' Lantern on me. I then snapped, and unleashed a killing spree... and killed them all, including that cheating teacher! After that, I lured the poilce into my school before burning them and the neighboring areas with blowing down a Jack O' Lanten with supernatural wind, igniting everything flammible inside.
 * Michael_langdon.jpgKatarina: How many did you killed in that killing spree?
 * Michael: Even more than Jack the Ripper of 21 Century. I killed 666 people in a fire.
 * Katarina: (!!!)
 * Michael: (narrator) After that, I planned my revenge on Billie Dean Howard. I went to Rosenheim Mansion, the very place I was born... and I tortured Billie Dean before turning my golden hair into dark hair as a disguise. After that, I hanged Billie Dean and Concetance in front of Hotel Cortez, so I became the student of the ghost of James Patrick March, the Hotel Cortez's founder and a master to many killers - John Wayne Gacy, Aileen Wuornos, Jeffrey Dahmer, Zodiac and Richard Ramierez. During this time, I came to know about many killers - Red Devil, Bloody Face, Green Meanie, and even Ten Commandments Killers. I practiced to take their mentor, and at the age of 13, I managed to use my teleportation I had learned to the fairy tale world of Arendelle and took two lives - the parents of a ice digger... but I failed to receive what I want - the sapphire on the Snow Queen's crown, but I will one day regain it.
 * Murder.jpgel: (narrator) Then, I return back to Los Angeles, living as a normal man. People saw me as their neighbor, a passen by, or perhaps their friend, but those are ALL my mask. I secretly killed people and left no clues or evidences. I am not foolish. I will not leave anything behind, not even fingerprints or letters. No loose ends. Among my victims in five years, which were possibly 4,444 of them, but I can't remember... I killed 1,313 criminals, perverts and psychopath. Many of them were my hired henchmen, but I don't like them, and I had to shut them up in case they double-cross me. The rest of them are just disgusting filth in this society and do not deserve to live. No one know who the killer is since I faked their death as suicides or accidents very perfectly, so I am able to go free till now.
 * Bishou_showing_his_Judgement_Ring.jpgel: (narrator) When I was 18, I left Los Angeles and resided in the city of New Orleans. Knowing being the Roman Pope can have great power, I then studied about Christianity and quickly mastered several languages. By supporting many things, I won great reputation by being kind and generous, so that I became a priest, eventually a vicar, and then the Bishop of New Orleans. However, one day, when I accidentally opened a book written by Erza Mills, titled "Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow", I was obsessed with the glory of Moloch, but I cannot stand that he was erased from existence quite so suddenly, therefore I managed to go through time and pacted with Moloch. To gain his trust, I showed him what I can really do by making Dr. Frankenstein and Eckidina KnightWalker to join the very same experiment the former always desired, and then those monsters you saw were born. Of course, I need to kill Igor, Frankenstein's assistant, so that I can make Frankenstein accept a new assistant while thinking Igor went missing. I fed Igor's corpse to the animals in forest, and his bones had used to decorate Moloch's Purgatory lair, so no trace of his death could be found.
 * Creepy-smile.jpgel: (narrator) After that, I did many other things that went very well, and even I could not recall what I have done. The good thing for me was, Moloch, a person who was very hard to be pleased, was surprisingly pleased with my actions. Then, I became his servant. After six years of preperation, I managed to get permission to enter Rome. I told the priests the date they picked me up at the bay, and I even ordered a ship ticket, but secretly, I arrived there two days earlier, just during Jack the Ripper's murder rampage, under my disguise.
 * The_Grand_Grimoire_(Sleepy_Hollow).jpgel: (narrator) Before that, I stole La Folia's wallet and immediately arrived at Rome via teleportation. After successfully getting the Grand Grimoire, I made a deal with Terra of the Left and made him my understudy when I was inconvinient, and I make myself as one of his targets, yet of course he need to be fail on purpose. That's why he disappeared after that, in order to drive suspicion on himself after La Folia's name was cleared - which is also a part of my plan. After that, I arrived at Eckidina's headquarters and made a deal with her without telling her who I am. Then, I returned back to New Orleans. To avoid suspicion, I took the ship I ordered and arrived at Rome just at the proper time. Then, I managed to got closer to Acqua of the Back and suggested him to write you a letter, inviting you people to the charity fair. That's when I appear and tried to get close to you as your new friends.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Crossover - The Corbin Files - Chapitre Deux 

''The limelight's flashes in streets of Rome and the first night of November, 2036, had come to Italy. The City Hall is full of guests, rich and poor, clergies and politicians, men and women, young and old. Katarina, La Folia, Mana and Asuha, dressing in nice clothes, had attended the charity fair under the Holy See's permission. La Folia went into the hall smiling. However, Katarina seemed reluctant.'' ''A voice had appeared behind the girls and they all turned back, seeing a man, with dark hair and robed in black, was standing near them smilingly. It seemed like he is in his 20's.'' ''Katarina is kind of... "dead"... again?'' ''Suddenly, Katarina had noticed a familiar figure in the fair with lilac hair and purple eyes. She recognized the person as Kirigiri Kyouko, the Ultimate Detective. She then made an excuse to leave.'' ''Katarina then left. La Folia started to chat with the Bishop. She had found out that this man is very polite and soft. He is neither as rude as Vento of the Front nor as serious as Acqua of the Back. He often gave smiles while talking as well. La Folia felt that this young bishop is charming and well-educated. That made her feel safe.''
 * ​Katarina: I just don't want to come to Rome like this. The fair is a waste of time.
 * La Folia: We had a deal, didn't we, Katarina? It's a part of which we investigate the assassin. Perhaps he is hiding among the guests, but I hope he will not spoil this fun night. Many of the attendants here are patrons to the local charity. I assume it will be a nice fair. Besides... there's gonna be a magician... (childishly giggled) and you like magicians, don't you?
 * Katarina: No, I don't. I hate magicians.
 * La Folia: You know what I said of being pleasant---
 * ???: Excuse me.
 * ???: I'm Michael Langdon, the Bishop of New Orleans. Ms. Rihavein, I had come to Rome this morning to attend the charity fair. Acqua of the Back had mentioned you to me, and I saw you and thought...
 * La Folia: Of course, it's very nice to meet you. (shook hands with the Bishop) This is my friends, Katarina Coteau, Mana Takamina and Asuha Chigusa.
 * Katarina: It's an honor to meet you, Bishop Langdon.
 * Michael: The honor is mine. Famous Katarina Coteau, the legendary Red-Haired-Demon, that's a turn up.
 * Crimson_avenger_by_ryukun1231-d8921u3.pngina: (dismayed) Uh...
 * Michael: (immediately changed) Or should I just call you... Katarina if you like? Take no offence.
 * Katarina: OK, thanks. Call me Katarina, please.
 * Michael: All right, so, I had heard about you and admired you for a long time. I'm sorry that our Church had troubled you girls for our rash actions.
 * Katarina: That's OK. How is His Holiness doing since the attack on St. Peter's Ballisca? All respect, I was thinking I should call him and giving him advice. I heard that he was in an ambiguous attitude on the war against KnightWalkers. I just want to advice him to join forces against the KnightWalker Family... and help him to find the assassin.
 * Michael: He'd appreciate that. In fact, rumors has that His Holiness wanted peace while many others wanted war. Our Church is secretly divided and breaking into pieces, and that worried me, but I hope it will return back to normal. In fact, even though many around me prefer war, I prefer peace. Even so, since KnightWalkers had gone too far these days to made us feel hurts, I will agree to declare war if the war is the only way to solve the problem. Thanks for your concern, Katarina.
 * Katarina: It's my pleasure.
 * Katarina: Can I get you something to drink, Bishop?
 * Michael: Uh, just water, please. Thank you.
 * La Folia: So.. I hear that there's gonna be a magician.

Nowadays
Katarina widened her eyes in sheer horror. ​Michael shruggled his shoulders with a smile.
 * Junko_Stabbed.jpgina: It was YOUR plan?
 * Michael: Yes, it was, and Acqua of the Back did not know my true intention at all. I was there without my hooded disguise, and when you met me, you thought I was sweet, humorous and friendly, right? No, that was my REAL disguise. When I put on my hood and mask, my true nature was unfold. It was such a surprise that you did not know the person was me. Pulling the strings without anyone noticed me, I caused the chaos in the City Hall.
 * Katarina: So, killing Junko is a ruse of yours as well? You faked her death?
 * Shsldespair.pngel: No, that was supposed to be genuiue, but turns out its outcome was not what I expected. Since Junko did not know I was her client, her so-called... uh, "Mr. Unknown", I attempted to kill Junko so that I can shut her up, andpeople could see me as their hero before I secretly took over the control of the whole Ultimate Despair. Even though it was unexpected that she survived, public started to trust me as their hero. Some of them went frightened because of Junko's actions, and it was a good time to use this panic state and exceed it, like putting gasoline on fire. Then, they started to see me as they savior and encouraged me to run for Pope, which I was always desired. The 0.0001% of my plan came true, and it was not an easy task.
 * Katarina: How could you?
 * Sonia_and_Mahiru_as_Ultimate_Despair_members.jpgel: (narrator) There are more things to tell. After driving you all to Sleepy Hollow, I secretly arrived at Novosic Kingdom and I was preparing to give Sonia Nevermind my threats. Then, after showing what I can really do, she surrendered, but not before I used two old citizen I captured to fake their identity as Kyouko Kirigiri's parents. Sonia had no idea that Kyouko's parents were died in a car accident, thus making Kyouko an orphan like you and me. I made her to assassinate two of the three papal candidates, and I told her to spare Cardinal Yogdis, my rival, in order to make a ruse to prevent her from suspecting me. I had already know how to avoid Mukuro's bullets so that I could not be injured. Sonia had detective ability, after all. Even if some dictator like her had her weak spot, and her weak spot was love. She had to obey, so that she can make me stay away from Kyouko - yet that was only what she thought. Then, I arrived back to Rome as myself while lying to everyone that I went back to New Orleans.

​Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Crossover - The Corbin Files - Chapitre Trois 

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

''At this time, Novosic Kingdom had met some problems with attacking the Chronos Empire. Princess Sonia Nevermind was in charge of the attack by herself in her base. Now, Novosic Kingdom had became an outright supporter of the KnightWalker Family after Sonia Nevermind revealed to Kyouko that she was with the Ultimate Despair.''

''Holding a cup of tea in her hand, Sonia did not care about Junko's plan nor her fake death, since she despised her very much even if she was willingly to work for her. Instead, she focused her attack against the Chronos Empire with a smile on her face. Her eyes glowed red in excitement.''
 * Sonia: Why did Chronos Empire chose to rout in China? I'd always wanted to travel there and climb the Great Wall, but... that's for another time. Push the front line forward, my men, and wipe out every single setback we face!

''Suddenly, all of the screens changed and a large red logo, which mixed the number 6 and a question mark, had appeared on every screens. It also cut the communication between the base and the front line. Sonia was angry and knocked the table with her fists.'' ''Hearing the voice coming from behind, Sonia and her guards suddenly turned back and saw a man standing at the door and holding a large scroll. It was the Unknown Grand Grimoire Figure, who grinned evilly as Sonia looked at him with shock and confusion.'' Sonia angrily stared at the mysterious man and was ready to punch him in the face.
 * Sonia: What is this? Guards!
 * Novosic guard: Your Highness, we've been hacked. The system is now in chaos. We cannot contact the commanders on battlefield.
 * Sonia: No way. Did our enemies from the Chronos Empire hack us?
 * ???: No, they didn't. I did.
 * Sonia: Who are you?!
 * Unknown: My name is unimportant for now. Good to see you, Princess Sonia... Or may I call you Jack the Ripper of 21st century? I am new to KnightWalker Family and I am here to ask you a favor.
 * Sonia: I don't know what you are talking about.
 * Unknown: You have no secrets in front of me. I know everything about you, Princess. You are the new Jack the Ripper... And I like the fact.
 * Sonia: So, what are you going to do?
 * Unknown: It'll be papal election, but since I am not among those candidates, I want you to send an assassin in order to attack ALL of the three candidates. I don't care about the outcome, but you must keep one alive and pretended to miss your gunfire. If you did what I said, you will make an exchange with me, an exchange for some greater good.
 * Sonia: Who is he?
 * Unknown: His name is... (whisper to Sonia the name) Understand?
 * Sonia: Yes, but what is the exchange of this?

''The mysterious man then grinned deviously and opened his scroll. It was a map of the capital of Novosic Kingdom. Sonia saw this map and was surprised. She saw a large red areas beside her palace and inside the citizens' area.'' ''All of a sudden, something noble within Sonia started to awaken as she was seeing the map... and she couldn't help herself from admitting it. Her humanity is not gone completely even if she chose to join Ultimate Despair by herself.'' ''Hearing this, Sonia dropped her china tea cup on the ground and it smashed into pieces. She lowered her head and her eyes returned back to green and filled with bitterness. The Unknown Figure looked at it with a false compassion.''
 * Unknown: This. It is my design. The red marks is for the place for the Church Militant. When I become the Pope, I will turn the Church slowly to the side of KnightWalkers, and I need your support. So, you need to prepare the place for us to stay.
 * Sonia: You want to make such things in my kingdom?
 * Unknown: Where else? Oh, perhaps Rome or Tenguu City, but that's for another time. After you did me this favor, you will permit me to help you to spread Despair.
 * Sonia: But... it means...
 * ​Sonia: It means to dismantle and mutilate the cities of our kingdom and thousands Novosic citizens will be homeless... Oh, my, what am I talking about?
 * Tumblr_odpq5iiOjO1tkcba2o5_500.pngUnknown: I can see you are struggling. Despair is flowing inside you, Sonia, and you joined this war by your own free will and just want to see anyone on Earth crying in despair and pain... in the very same style of Junko Enoshima herself. To tell the truth, I was hiding among the place that you committed murders, but you did not see me... and I did not stop you because I like your work. I will not call the police and I... suppose... that I won't be a copycat.
 * Sonia: (interrupted him) Mister, I think I am not interested in your "magnificent" plan. You can persuade Eckidina, but you cannot persuade me to join your plan. It will harm my own goods. Now, please go home. Someone send him home. We have work to do.
 * (paused)
 * Unknown: I can see you focusing more on attacking the Chronos Empire in China than joining my plan... but I think if you refuse, you know what will happen to your little detective friend.
 * Unknown: How fragile you are. You and the cup, you both are.
 * Sonia: You... stay away from her. Only I have the right to kill her and I will not do that. No one can harm her, including you! Stay away from... Kirigiri Kyouko!
 * Unknown: Kirigiri Kyouko? Who said anything about her? (paused) I did. (evil chuckles) Princess, I want to ask you a tricky question. Do you know the difference between Santa Clause and me? Yes, he only comes once a year.
 * Sonia: What do you mean? Christmas is only for two months.
 * Unknown: That is the outcome when you let Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer organize your calendar. However, I am organizing a fine Christmas real-life show. I love to watch the "rehearsal" and I'm almost addicted to it. Volia!

''The Unknown Figure clapped his hand and then the screens then changed. Sonia and her minions were shocked to find two old couples tied in color lights decorated on a Christmas tree and screaming in terror. The Unknown Figure smiled in his own twisted way.'' ''Sonia grabbed a knife and started to attack the Unknown Figure, but the latter stared at her and eventually Sonia's body could not do what she had said. She floated on the air and bumping the walls.'' ''The Unknown Figure smiled and made Sonia landed safely on the ground. He smiled wickedly when he saw his evil ruse succeeded.''
 * Old couples: (on screen) We don't know anything... Princess Sonia, please spare us... We are...
 * KnightWalker soldier: Shut up! (punched the old couples)
 * Sonia: Oh, my...
 * Hooded_Figure_Avatar.jpgwn: Those are Kyouko's parents. I found them in Tenguu City and caught them in... the name of you. I apologize if I did not ask for your permission, but if I did... you would of said no. However, I think if I already have done it, you will change your mind.
 * Sonia: Well, I haven't. What is the meaning of this? Did Kyouko know this?
 * Unknown: To my knowledge, so far, she has no idea. However, she will, and what will Kyouko think if she had heard the rumors that "you" are responsible for this?
 * Sonia: I... No, it's crazy. You... will pay for this!
 * Sonia: MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!!!
 * Unknown: You're either with me, or you are against me... and if you are against me, even God could not help you, Sonia.
 * Sonia: Please... I'm with you...

''The two old couples are in fact  not  Kyouko's parents. Kyouko's parents died two years ago in a car accident. They are only two old innocent people that the Unknown Figure captured to force Sonia to agree his evil plan to assassinate papal candidates. He also ordered a KnightWalker to guard him. Whenever they were about to tell the truth, the guard punched them fiercely.''

''Since Kyouko did not tell Sonia about her parents, Sonia isn't aware of this truth. Since she still cared for Kyouko in her own way, Sonia was enraged and horrified by the Unknown Figure's act of abducting Kyouko's "parents" to harm Kyouko and cannot see through the lies.'' <p style="text-align:center;"> Rome, Italy  ''Citizens of Rome applauded as Michael accepted his award with a smile. Michael then coughed a bit and went to the microphone on the stage. Then, he prepared gave his speech to the crowd. Suddenly, a journalist in the crowd raised her hand.'' ''With a smile, Michael was about to answer, but then he suddenly noticed a truck coming towards the road in a great speed, hitting passerby's as well. The car had a mark of the KnightWalker Family on it. On the truck, there was also a person (in fact Mukuro Ikusaba in her army uniform) holding a rifle and pointing it to Michael and his supporters.'' Hearing this, Michael was horrified and shouted out. ''Hearing the gunfire, the people all got down as Michael said. Mukuro began shooting at Michael and people beside him, but the bullets failed to shoot Michael because Michael had already got down, saving himself from certain demise. The truck soon left and Mukuro stopped shooting. People were all frightened by what had happened.'' ''After a long time of silence, Michael had an angry mood on his face. His green eyes were glowing in rage. People all calmed down when looked at him.'' ''Many people nod in agreement while Michael was giving his speech, and Kirigi Kyouko among the crowd was also surprised by Michael's confidence, selflessness and sheer calmness. She looked at Michael with her eyes widened, waiting to see his attitude.'' ''​Michael then smiled to his supporters and audience and nodded confidently. Later, Kyouko quietly left the scene and no one had noticed her leaving. She was thinking whether Ultimate Despair is responsible for the attack.''
 * Unknown: So, in order to make Kyouko's family... "together", you must send your assassin to Rome and do whatever I say. If you don't care for the two old people, well then, you must care for Kyouko, because if you let them die, you'll betray your friendship with Kyouko... and more than that. Now, shall we have the deal?
 * Sonia: (silent for a while) Yes, we shall.
 * Unknown: Good. Now, please tell Junko to gather Ultimate Despair as soon as possible. You have a lot of work to do... which is utterly mad.
 * Journalist: Bishop Langdon.
 * Michael: Uh, please-- just call me Michael.
 * Journalist: Michael, for Pete's sake, why aren't you running for the Pope officially? So many people regarded you as the third candidate for papacy.
 * Ikusaba_transparent.pngMukuro: (yelling) Bishop Langdon, the Ultimate Soldier sends her regards! This is for Junko!
 * Michael: Get down!!!
 * Michael: Everyone stay here! Everyone okay? Everyone okay? (coughs)
 * Michael: Do you know? Romans don't buckle under strong pressure, and neither will I. We have seen this savage attack already. This is utterly an act of terrorism, a revenge from KnightWalkers for me foiling their plan last night, but I am not afraid of them at all. We will not be intimidated by the scum... that seek to reduce this great city of Rome to ruins.
 * Michael: To be honest, recently, I went back to New Orleans for two days since I don't know if a killer can become a Pope and I need to atone since I killed someone anyway. However, after knowing Junko had turned out to be alive and Katarina and her friends had disappeared, I went back immediately and helped the Church in searching Katarina and pursuing Junko. I did not declare my candidacy officially since I was trying to be modest these days, and I think I can find Katarina and her friends before the vote officially begins. However, after this day, I changed my mind. Those wicked KnightWalkers are forcing my hands! If the bad guys want to stop me running, if they want to force my hands, well, then I guess I got no choice...
 * (paused)
 * Michael: I  will  run for the Pope.
 * Crowd: (cheers and applause) Yes!!! Yeah---

Nowadays
​​"........................................" "........................................" ​​"........................................" ​​"........................................" "....................................." "....................................." ''​Then, all of a sudden, Michael drew a blade and struck Katarina's thigh, making her howling in agony. Then, Katarina bit her lips and glared at Michael.'' Michael scornfully grinned. ​With an angry face, Katarina spat on Michael's face, who merely brushed it off. ''With a devious chuckle, Michael put on his mask, cape and hood once again before disappered in the air. Now, Katarina could do nothing but kept blaming herself.''
 * Izuruwakesup.jpgMichael: (narrator) After that, I began to backstab Sonia in order to make her my own personal servant and I shall take over Novosic Kingdom myself, so I started to attack Sonia's minions raising war in China. I chose Shanghai, the city with the ailas of "Oriental Paris" and attack there, but not before I cut off the communication between Berlin and mainland China. The news soon went to Sonia and humiliated her very much. During that time, however, Izuru's hope counterpart started to resist and therefore Hajime resurfaced to warn the Ultimate Despair and against me. A great failure for Junko after her efforts with that sick Despair Video. However, to reverse this, I showed my true self to Hajime and thus breaking his mind, letting Izuru taking over him forever. Very sad that I did not maintain my control on him since he had later joined Sonia against me as well.
 * BlindDate.jpgel: (narrator) However, at this time, Ancitif - the demon who possessed Jennifer Mills - had told me about the Horseman's coffin. It was locked. The lock was very special and could only be opened with a key with 24K gold, because "greed is the root of all evil". Therefore, I started to dressed up as the Green Meanie killer, my favorite disguise. I am a very skilled swimmer, so it don't bothered me when I lured some rich girls with golden necklace, rings or something like that into the river and drowned them. Then, I took the gold from them. After some trying, I had took the substance that I do not need from these gold as much as possible... and I finally made a proper gold key to open the coffin of the Horseman tonight. Even so, it was not an easy task to draw away the attention from the police, so I chose Sonia's laudry which I secretly told them to collect money so that they can bribe some clergies and make me the Pope, but... I know those clergies are not fools so I never took this bribery seriously. In fact, bribery was boring, but setting this laudry as a counting room proved to be a huge distraction to Church milliant and police. They thought they were unexpectedly successful, but in fact it was them who were about to lose. Sometimes, Katarina, a little sacrifise will bring the greater good as exchange. You only need to plan more, manipulate more.
 * Kyouko-Kirigiri-dangan-ronpa-girls-37392565-700-753.jpgMichael: (narrator) Soon, I started to find someone to raise chaos in order to increase panic, so I hired the Arzonia brothers, who were formerly Mafusa Gang members, to sabotage many places. Anyway, who cares if they were finally killed by their sister who was fed up of their abuse? No one will cry for them. They were just pawns of my plan after all, and ultimately I gained what I want with the concealing ruse of arson, bombing and terrorist attack - an ancient blade. Then, I went to persuade Kyouko to support me, but she did not gave me a staight answer. I considered this as an "no". It was a pity that I lost a potential support from the greatest detective in the world, but I really need to continue so that I decided to leave our world-famous Ulitmate Detective alone for a while, but in heart, I had already planned to use her as my puppet... or destroy her body and soul.
 * Aleisb6.jpgMichael: (narrator) After that, in order to clean another unexpected setback, I managed to burned the sister of Arzonias, and I arranged her to be moved into the Cyborg Factory instead of grave or crematorium. Then, Iwent for Aleister Crowley who I brainwashed many years ago, and with his help, I managed to bomb Eurotunnel to cause European crisis, and I managed to make Terra brainwash many Catholic clergies and vital figures, so that I can make way to my next step - to win the election and become the Pope.
 * 56281028_p16_master1200.jpgMichael: (narrator) However, Kyouko's arrival in Belgium and Sonia Nevermind's riot had nearly ruined my plan, especially the latter. It happened very suddenly that I had finally made a decision to hurt them both. I made Terra act on my behalf to appear in Belgium while I standing beside Kyouko and Sonia like an innoncent man. Terra teleported himself to us and he spoke what I arranged him to say, just want to make Kyouko kill Sonia, but surprisingly, they united and went towards Tenguu City by plane. In process, they unwittingly thrawt my plan to get Rentaro captured and destroy the very same plane they were on. Even so, I managed to get Rentaro, one of your closest friends, into this mess. After Rentaro went down the plane, it was Terra that attacked him, not me. After setting the capture of Princess Villian, I went back to Rome in order to stop the riot caused by Biagio's capture.
 * Pope2.jpgel: (narrator) Finally, there comes the best part: That old man, Matthai Reese, needed to be take down so that I can finally sit on his chair. I managed to made Terra slayed Matthai Reese and chase Pietro Yogdis though the latter escaped. I even made vows to capture the murderer in front of his coffin which now I think it made me laugh... Even so, this does not marks the end since I need one more thing - Your life. I interrogated Celestia Ludenburg, who gave money to Sonia and Kyouko for their plane ticket, and I changed my plan. Since Eckidina did not know that I was her client, I managed to put myself inside KnightWalker HQ to be a prisoner and let Terra play my part. As Rentaro, Sonia and Kyouko arrived in Ward Walker 24 with their new allies, Adam Frankenstein and his Bride, Eckidina managed to put them inside Sleepy Hollow like she once did to you. I also arrived in here, on purpose.
 * Sidious_hologram.jpgel: (narrator) Then, while keep playing you around as myself, I managed to make Misogi to revive Serilda while contacting you via a hologram in your cell! Now, I can feel it. Serilda was revived even though I gave Misogi a replica, and I think La Folia will be no match for her. Since the real pendant is on my neck, I will control Serilda when time comes. She will be our puppet. Then, we will summon the Horseman of Death back and extend the blood moon to the next few days, so that Serilda can restart her killing cycle! After that, I think it was the time to reveal myself, so I had used magic to teleport the Grand Grimoire from Eckidina's hands to my hands, like we once said, so that I CAN SHOW IT IN FRONT OF YOU!!! The End!
 * Katarina: Finally, you let your true self revealed. I cannot believe it. As soon as I get back to my world, I will let it exposed to everyone in the world!
 * Michael: They won't believe it. Catholic Church had supported by 2 billions of people within 131 nations, and I will use their faith to work for me. Even if they had discovered that I had switched side to the KnightWalker Family after I become the Pope, they will believe that I was brainwashed by Crowley. Crowley, who is now a Cardinal of 2036, as well as Terra, shall shelter the blame for "brainwashing" the "gentle and wise" Pope Michael, people will shed tears down with dismay, and no one will ever consider that  I  am the mastermind all along! We'll wait and see.
 * Katarina: You can cheat someone forever, and you can cheat everyone for a while, but you can never cheat everyone forever!
 * Michael: Then, I will leave you here to die. You are losing blood now, Katarina. How fast can you run? I have won.

<p style="text-align:center;"><u style="text-align:center;">'- Katarina: Michael is the mastermind... Michael is the mastermind... I am such a fool...'

Purgatory
''Inside Moloch's lair, Serilda had already took La Folia into the Purgatory while tied her wrist. Standing towering anyone in his lair, Moloch glared menacingly to La Folia.'' ''All of a sudden, the lair's shape had twisted and it became a form of a spledid palace. La Folia stepped back for a while, but her eyes was not full of surprise or happiness. It was full of shock and disgust.'' ''La Folia bit her lips in anger and disgust. She looked up to Moloch, trying to act with bravery. Moloch's eyes widened.'' ''A servant of Moloch then poured a glass of wine to La Folia, but she knocked the glass with her head. She did the right thing since resident in Purgatory should not eat or drink anything offered by demons or illusions, or they shall be trapped inside the place for eternity. Glaring at the demon, La Folia finally spoke out to Moloch, ignoring the fear within her heart.'' Moloch's eyes widened in rage.
 * Moloch: Huh, La Folia Rihavein, visitor from the future, welcome to my kingdom.
 * Moloch: That "man" from the future told everything to me about you, La Folia. He had gained nigh-omnipotence thanks to the Grand Grimoire, and he did so much for bringing you in front of me. I will be glad to praise him for his hard work.
 * Moloch: How dare you look upon me? Look upon your king? La Folia, this is such a shame, leaving such lavish display behind and embrace a normal life. Don't you understand that wealth and make anything to this world?
 * La Folia: Moloch, if you brought me here is to corrupt me with such temptation, then you picked the wrong person to tempt!
 * Moloch: Then we will do this as hard way, since if tempting you did not work, then I shall try breaking your mind. Bring him.

The door of "palace" had opened, and a hooded man had walked inside the hall, and he bowed to Moloch while hugging the Grand Grimoire. La Folia was shocked because it was none other than the Grand Grimoire Figure. ''​Then, the Unknown Figure gleefully took off his mask and hood, revealing Michael Langdon's face. La Folia reacted in total shock.'' ''La Folia rubbed her eyes and looked closer. It was Michael Langdon, no doubt. She shivered in horror since she once thought the Unknown Figure was Terra. She then started to suspected that Michael fell under Moloch's mind-control.'' ''Michael then revealed a bag from his pocket and picked out several cards. He threw one of them to La Folia's feet. After seeing this, La Folia had stepped back in horror. It was none other than the KnightWalker visitor card.'' ​At this point, La Folia finally believed that Michael was... ​Michael then pulled out a gun from his pocket and aimed it to La Folia's head. ''All of a sudden, Michael was about to shoot down La Folia, but then he hestitated for a while before throwing his gun away. Then, Michael merely put his hand on La Folia's forehead, and a purple light had appeared between his palm and La Folia's forehead. La Folia's eyes were vacant as if she was dead...''
 * Unknown: How may I serve you, master?
 * Moloch: Show yourself to her.
 * Unknown: With pleasure.
 * La Folia: Michael! Is that you?
 * Unknown Figure: Yes, La Folia, it was me, not Terra of the Left. You seemed surprised. Didn't Katarina told you that Terra was merely my petty understudy?
 * La Folia: Michael? Can it be? You were so kind and gentle! How can you be that vicious and devious man? Come, and I will try to free you from their control!
 * Michael: There will be no abusolute necessity, La Folia. You just only need to pick them up. I managed to detect it with my newly learned magic before I arrived at Vatican.
 * Michael: Huh, you remember this right?
 * La Folia: That is... my visitor card...
 * Michael: Yes, this is the KnightWalker visitor card! It's just a souvenir I gained when I stole your wallet.
 * La Folia: No... Michael...
 * Michael: You are resorceful, La Folia.
 * Michael: Now, say your prayers... We may never see each others ever again.
 * Michael: You had developed a fever, La Folia. It is easy to get sick in such a harsh season. Go back to Katarina so that you may find a cure.

After "comforting" her, Michael removed his hand from La Folia's hand and whispered to Moloch in a very deep voice, and only Moloch could hear his whispering. Hearing Michael's advice, ​Moloch thought about it for a while and nodded. ''Moloch then stretched his arm to La Folia, who disappeared in black mist. The palace returned back to Moloch's lair like it was before. Serilda was surprised to see that La Folia had disappeared, and then she glared at Michael.'' ''Michael then revealed a pendant on his neck, a pendant that was very much alike to Serilda's pendant. Serilda reacted in awful shock as Michael started to mutter a spell, as the real Blood Moon Wicked pendant glowed in red light. Serilda's eyes then became white for a while and returned back to her normal color. She then bowed to Michael with a polite manner...'' Looking at Serilda, Michael smiled as he had finally took over Serilda's soul and became the de facto leader of the Order of the Blood Moon. Serilda nodded before she disappeared into a puff smoke.
 * Michael: (whispered) Master, I belive it was better than just let her go. I bet that there will be more fun when we keep her alive. I bet that it will be more exciting to make her own sister deal with her. Well, therefore why not make her leave this place?
 * Moloch: Agree. Send her back to her friends.
 * Serilda: Why letting her go?
 * Michael: Don't act like that, please, Serilda. I will be embarrased. I have more arrangements on her. I hope you will know who exactly is in charge here.
 * Serilda: Command me, Your Eminence.
 * Michael: Bring back the Horseman of Death for me, and we will arrange our next move.
 * Michael: This is the best day since my third birthday, ah-ha...

''Michael smiled in relief, but then he had noticed that Moloch walked towards the door of his cave, seemed to thinking something. Michael then asked Moloch with curoisty.''

​''Moloch shook his head. Michael was a bit of nervous since he knew that Moloch did not tolerant ignorance at all. Even so, Moloch was not angry.'' ​The name Triggers Hell was fresh to Michael and all of a sudden, it immediately planted curiousity within Michael's heart.
 * Michael: Master, what happened?
 * Moloch: I was thinking about someone familiar. I don't know if you had felt... some horrendous impulse from Hell.
 * Michael: Yes, I felt it... for so many days. I felt something different was ruling Hell and I felt the current ruler was a demon different from Satan. After all, my soul belongs to yours, master, so I can feel it, even though it was very dim.
 * Moloch: You are wiser than many other minions of mine, Michael. They were too stupid to live.
 * Michael: With all respect, my lord, may I ask... what did the power came from? Satan?
 * Moloch: Perhaps you need to learn more, Michael. However, since you asked me with full of respect, I will answer you to this. The hell does not belonged to Satan or the Devil anymore.
 * Michael: Isn't Satan the Devil?
 * Moloch: Not quite. The Devil rooted itself in hell many years before Lucifer's damnation, and once it ruled all of the demons. When Lucifer was doomed to Hell billions of years ago, it became Satan and ruled the fallen angels. Together, they formed a Dark Empire named Triggers Hell far away from my realm.
 * Michael: Triggers Hell?
 * Moloch: Indeed, and that's its name. However, as far as I know, some powerful entity had imprisoned them inside somewhere hidden, and now a new ruler had appeared. I did not want to obey that person who was trying to control me with his position as the King of Hell, so I left the original Hell and tried to create my own, personal Hell inside this Purgatory... and then the whole Earth... and then more. This is the only thing I can tell you for now.
 * Michael: Who is the leader after the Devil?

Moloch then turned to Michael and said the name of the current ruler of Hell.


 * Moloch: His name is Leohart.

Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Crossover - The Corbin Files - Chapitre Cinq 

''One day, just as the same day when Katarina went to Sleepy Hollow, Leohart was having his dinner filled with well-cooked human flesh and organs. He poured a bottle of blood wine into his glass and looked at his own face foreshadowed in the wine. His face was full of malice and anger. He was thinking about a familiar face who left him and Triggers Hell long ago.'' ''​The lesser demon servants were all horrified to hear what their lord said. They were afraid of Leohart so much, that they rather jump into the Lake of Fire than facing Leohart's wrath. In rage, Leohart drank the blood wine in just seconds.'' ''At this time, Leohart had no idea that Moloch was defeated by two Witnesses on a planet known as Earth. The planet of Triggers Hell was too far away from Earth.''
 * Leohart: Imbecile... An imbecile who only wants to rule Purgatory...
 * Leohart: Moloch, you are a total imbecile. Is that what your attitude to your true master? You were once a Fallen Angel as well, rebelled with Lucifer, so you should be one with us, but now you had left Triggers Hell to go somewhere else... It's been so many years, but I can wait since we had lived for 2 billions years. I will find you one day and then you shall not be so lucky.

Knowing their prince was angry for Moloch's betrayal and departure, the demon carefully got closer to Leohart. Leohart ruthlessly slapped the lesser demon. ''​The lesser demon was horrified and he immediately poured another cup of blood wine for Leohart. Leohart's anger had faded a bit, and he continued to have his cannibalistic dinner while mumbling to himself about Moloch.'' ​Just then, a Fallen Angel arrived in the diner of Leohart. ''​Leohart had a special list, which listed the people all over the multi-universe who are doomed to Hell even if they are currently alive. The demon servant handed the list over to Leohart, and Leohart started to read the top of the future damned souls' name on his special list...''
 * Lesser demon: Your highness? Any more wine?
 * Leohart: Of course! Why do you ask? How many times do I have to tell you!?
 * Lesser demon: Oh... sorry...
 * Leohart: THEN WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GET THE WINE!
 * Leohart: What a fool he is. Moloch once was my companion, but he then left Triggers Hell to build his own rule. He claimed to conquer Purgatory. So foolish. How can he conquer Purgatory without the help of me? It's a shame that I do not know where he's gone, or I will catch him and rip him into a million pieces! There will be only one Demon King in this lying Multi-Universe, and that will be me - Leohart the Prince of Hell. As for Moloch, I think he is just a heretic and nothing more than that.
 * Fallen Angel: Your Highness, Darth Hades sent you a message. He said he had sensed the whereabouts... of Tech of the End, and he wants you to help him...
 * Leohart: Not interested in technology stuff. Let Darth Hades clean up his own mess, since he can do things for himself. I'll take care of the Face and unleash the Hell upon this whole... Multi-Universe. By the way, there is a long time since I checked my special list last time. I want to see about the special list. I want to foresee the future, and I think I am going to prepare for "welcoming" my future slave.

''... right before he gave out a cruel smile. It was a very new name, but it was somehow at the TOP of his list. That made Leohart curious.''
 * Leohart: Eckidina KnightWalker...

Nowadays
''Michael had a sense that Moloch did not want to tell him more things, and he hid his curiousity inside his heart. Triggers Hell. Michael had the word in his mind. His curioustity were growing stronger, but he knew that it was not the proper time, so he bowed to Moloch.'' Moloch then glared at Michael. Hearing this, Michael reacted in surprise as both of his eyes widened. ​Michael nodded when he finally understood Moloch's words. Moloch then turned back to the door of cave. ''Hearing this, Michael took off his hood and his cape, revealing his black cassock hidden under it. He then hid his pendant into his collar and replaced it with his crucifix. Michael was a bit of distressed because he still needed Moloch even if he had Katarina inside his trap and made everything went smoothly.''
 * Michael: Thank you, master. Please give your orders.
 * Moloch: You don't need to do anything for now.
 * Michael: Master?
 * Moloch: Michael, August Corbin's death is now completely inevitable, yet the Horseman's rising will bring back Ichabod Crane. When Crane revived from his death, you can contact our secret agent in police station and make him to the place to arrest Crane. Crane will be our chess to the head of Death, so we need to wait.
 * Michael: Yes, master, I understand.
 * Moloch: After that, if you failed, never mind, I will be tolerate just this time, for bring Katarina Couteau into a trap. You can return back to your realm and become what you wanted to become, but remember, your soul is mine. Never fool me. Go and deceive those people that put trust in you.

Though highly reluctant, Michael still politely bowed to Moloch.

Katarina's Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Crossover - The Corbin Files - Chapitre Deux 

​''Junko was surprised to hear the voice. At this point, Michael Langdon had regained his consciousness and stood up immediately. Misogi attempted to stop him, but was punched in the nose and fell. At the same time, Junko turned to Michael and stared at him, but Michael simply waved and several spears appeared out of nowhere and stabbed right through Junko.''
 * Michael: I said, enough!

''In pain, Junko yelled and dropped the knife, and everyone in the hall was shocked. Katarina broke free and hugged with La Folia. Michael walked closer and looked at Junko as she fell on the floor.'' ''Junko did not finish her words and then her breath simply stopped. A twisted and scornful grin appeared on her face. Michael soon walked back, touching his own head and sighed in relief. Suddenly, Eckidina was alarmed and dragged Misogi to the blue closet in a fast speed.'' ​''Kyouko ran straight towards Eckidina and Misogi, but she was too late. Eckidina had closed the blue closet without saying goodbye. When Kyouko opened the blue closet, she found it empty.''
 * Junko: No, what have you...
 * Michael: I know... I know... this is not in the part of your plan. I'm sorry, Junko, since I never wanted to kill someone... but now you see, with your death, there is "hope" for all of us but you. Taste your own medicine of Despair, Junko, and fall into "sleep" like death, a sleep you will never awaken.
 * Junko: No, you *coughs blood* don't understand... that "Mr. Unknown"... promised me... that I was gonna... be...
 * Asuha: Kyouko! Stop her!

''Then, Kyouko took a careful look at Junko's body and could not speak a word. Asuha went forward and checked Junko's breathing.'' ​
 * Asuha: Junko Enoshima... is dead...

<p style="text-align:center;">​ Ten minues later 

''Police arrived after Acqua opened the lock for them, and they clear the crime scene and took away Junko's body to the morgue. They also arrested Mukuro and the lesser KnightWalkers in the hall. Katarina now had a piece of bandage shrouded on her neck, and Acqua went near her and smiled to her. Katrina smiled back as well in an apologetic manner.'' ''Meanwhile, La Folia had noticed Michael beside the stage who was rubbing his head. She felt worried for him.'' ''Just then, Michael Langdon arrived. Kyouko noticed Michael and went forward to him. She smiled and shook her hand warmly with him.'' La Folia smiled, and Katarina turned to Michael with a grateful look. ''Michael instantly and calmly went out of the hall. Katarina took a look at La Folia in bewilderment, and the latter gave her an shy smile as an answer.''
 * Katarina: Thank you for your help... and I'm sorry, Acqua. I misjudged you. I thought you were untrustworthy. I'm terribly sorry for this.
 * Acqua: No, it was I who need to say sorry. I have no idea that things is going to be messed up like this. The sheer impact of this nightmare, I can forsee it. Nevertheless, the lucky thing is that you helped save the lives of everyone in here. As for your late parents and sister... they would've been proud of you.
 * La Folia: Yeah, they would've been... even though I hope they won't come out of their graves and come after me for letting her into trouble.
 * Katarina: It was all of us. We are a team.
 * (paused)
 * Acqua: Yeah, I guess we are.
 * La Folia: (pointed to Michael) Is he okay?
 * Acqua: (looked at Michael, to La Folia) He's fine, though I'd still like him to check out at the hospital, La Folia. Eckidina gave him quite a knock. Any word on her?
 * La Folia: No, she went through a trapdoor in the stage which is hid by the closet. They must always been planning to use that as their exit. Don't worry. We'll find her.
 * Kyouko: Uh, Bishop Langdon, sir, I'm Kirigiri Kyouko.
 * Michael: You're the world famous Ultimate Detective who solved the case of Jack the Ripper. I know you. It's a pleasure to meet you.
 * Kyouko: The pleasure is mine. By the way, I'd just like to thank you for saving Katarina Coteau and her friends' life in time. If there's anything we can ever do for you, sir...
 * Michael: (to Kyouko) I really just did what any citizen of the world would have done. (to La Folia) By the way... you taught me a impressive moral lesson, La Folia, since you did what was right to raise Katarina. I think I did what I should do as well.Crimson.Avenger.(Elesis).full.1805266.jpg
 * Katarina: I wish that was true. Thank you for saving our lives.
 * Michael: Well, it's my pleasure. By the way, if you ever need anything, please call me. We're all in this together, right?
 * La Folia: Thank you, Michael. Right, well, I suppose I better be getting my friends home.
 * Katarina: La Folia, I want to stay at Rome.
 * La Folia: Beg your pardon?
 * Katarina: I want to find the man who made you into the horrid mess.
 * La Folia: All right, we'll stay in Rome. I support you in every ways since you came out to save my life.
 * Katarina: Thank you, La Folia.
 * La Folia: All right, and... (to Michael) it's been a much more exciting party than originally planned, right? (jokingly) I never did like magicians.
 * Michael: (amused) Oh... good night.
 * Katarina: It was very nice to meet you, Bishop Langdon.
 * Michael: And you, Katarina.
 * La Folia: Good night's sleep, you'll be shine as sun again. I do hope we get to see you again soon.
 * Michael: Thank you. Farewell.
 * Katarina: Now, let's do our work.

The Munition Tunnel
<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Katarina: Michael is the mastermind... Michael is the mastermind... I am such a fool...' ''Injured and humiliated, Katarina lied helplessly on the ground. Michael gave her quite a knock. Streams of tears started to fall from her eyes but not because of her injury, but because of Michael's deception. She started to recall Michael's gentle and helpful attitude...''

<p style="text-align:center;"> ​However, turns out that it was ALL lies...

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

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

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Katarina: I don't think I could take it anymore......

''Katarina started to sob in sadness. Just then, the wind had blown to Katarina with a woman's voice, a voice she once heard before.''
 * ???: Poor child, you must have suffered a lot.

''All of a sudden, Katarina felt her leg was wrapped by some bandages. Someone was dealing with her injury, helping her from blood loss. She looked up and was surprised to see a familiar figure - the woman who once gave her the real Spear of Virtue in her dream.''

''Katarina tried to stood up, but she could not. She could only looked up to the woman who took care for her.'' At first, Katarina had no idea what the woman had said meaned. Katarina then put her finger on Katarina's lips, meaning to make her fall silence. ​Hearing Pandora's words, Katarina was shock and could not figure out whether Pandora was a friend or foe. ​Katarina's eyes widened in surprise. ​Though feeling uneasy for Pandora's words, Katarina nodded. ''​Katarina wanted to speak some more, but Pandora disappeared instantly. Just then, she felt exhausted and wanted to have a sleep, when suddenly, she heard heavy footsteps. She then opened her eyes a bit saw Sonia Nevermind, Kyouko Kirigiri and Rentaro Satomi coming for her.'' ''​Katarina then felt someone had cradled her, but she could not see who the person was since she was losing her concious. Then, she heard Sonia's voice. ''
 * ???: Oh, I can't believe that you fell because of Moloch's nasty plan, Katarina. How can you carry on the Cranes' legacy with this injury?
 * Katarina: Thank you...
 * ???: You need to be alive, though I did not do it for you.
 * Katarina: Then, why are you doing this? You helped me twice but you were not for me? What is your name, by the way?
 * ???: I think you can call me whatever you want, but I prefer... "Pandora".
 * Katarina: Pandora... why are you helping me?
 * Pandora: Hush, this is between you and me. You know, Moloch is my  enemy . He is also your  enemy  as well. My master, however wanted me to get close to Moloch one day... so that we can destroy him when the necessity comes. Waiting for more than 200 years, however, I have no chance yet to get to Moloch since the Four Horsemen is yet to ride. However, I can weaken him in many ways.
 * Katarina: You want the Horsemen ride?
 * Pandora: Perhaps, but maybe it was contrast to what you think. That is the time for us to strike at Moloch, but at first I need to weaken him so that I can take my best at him. Moloch will come out from Purgatory when the Horsemen of War rides on Earth, but only when all of the Horsemen came, his full power will be unleashed, but before that, I will seal the Death first... in my box... Then, Moloch will be only an immortal demon.
 * Katarina: You mean you are helping me for self-serving purpose?
 * Pandora: Not quite, since if Moloch wins, no one will be survived, so I had to take actions to protect myself, but I am different from Moloch, since we will bring goods to the Earth like my Master said. You see, I was also the one who advice Jennifer Mills to give in herself, so that Abbie Mills will be protected, otherwise the demon inside Jenny will driver her insane. What I did are good for you in a way, and... I am more like a builder than a destroyer.
 * Katarina: I wish it was true.
 * Pandora: I doubt this will be the last time we meet. However, no matter what happened, please don't forget me. Who knows? God's plan works in mysterious ways. Farewell. Your friends are coming. Tell them the truth about your false friend. Tell them about Michael Langdon.
 * Sonia: Katarina! Katarina! No, what happened to your... Tell me...
 * Sonia: Tell me... who had made you injured? ...

''With her last efforts, Katarina spoke the name that even she will never ever believe it... before she fainted...''
 * Katarina: It's... Michael... Langdon...







<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Kyouko, Sonia & Rentaro: WHAT!? '

Buckingham Palace
<p style="text-align:center;"> - Carissa: FIRE.

Despite Carissa ordered the second shot, nothing fatal happened in the end.

''What Carissa had no idea was that her elder sister had interfered her plan. At the height of the battle of Buckingham Palace, Riméa observes the battle from afar when she is contacted by her spy from Edinburgh. There is a tomb in Edinburgh fit enough for a king of an entire culture, confirming her suspicion regarding Carissa that she is carrying the weight of the entire country on her own shoulders and that she is willing to become a tyrant in order to save it from the KnightWalker Family and from the danger that Curtana Original's power possess.''

''She then uses a communication spell to contact not only the knights, who have now regained consciousness after being "punished" by Carissa, but those in navy, as well as those at Buckingham Palace in order to tell them of Carissa's true plans. Everyone presented had heard her speech with great care, and Carissa was filled with dismay and shock.''

''After a long time of speech, Rimea the finished her speech after 10 seconds of pause. Her voice became much more stoic and encouraging.''
 * Rimea: [I cannot force you to take action. You have families, friends, and lovers that you must protect as well as the country. I will not deny you the option to flee if you want to make sure they do not have to mourn for you... But if any of you pity my sister Carissa, if any of you knights wish to save her not as the second princess but as a mere woman, then will you take up your swords now? She is most likely a woman who can be saved by just that. This is not about the amount of power you can wield. She will be saved just by knowing that there are people truly willing to fight for her.]

''The Knight Leader was just behind Princess Riméa during her announcement, deciding to take up his sword to save Carissa as well despite being depowered after the Overloading of the Curtana Original. Riméa is aware that he was behind him but doesn't turn to face him. As she doesn't turn her back to anyone she doesn't trust, this action of hers represent her having trust on the Knight Leader.''

The Knight Leader then realized Rimea's trust on him and he immediately gave his orders to his minions.
 * Knight Leader: You guys, help the Necessarius out of this, and I'll handle Carissa.

''The knights, who have recovered from Carissa's "punishment", had rushed themselves to the ruins of Buckingham Palace. Despite the revelation of her motivations, Carissa continues to resist. All hope seems lost as the Anglican Church forces no longer have enough strength to create a defensive barrier as the cruise missile with the Bunker Cluster warhead will soon arrive.''

Aureolos tries to search for a communication spiritual item, wanting to contact one of the Selkie Aquariums in order to hit the missile, though Carissa just mocks his efforts as the mobile fortresses would have attacked if they could when the first missile was launched.

''All of a sudden, the missile arrives... but before it can launch its Bunker Cluster warhead, the Knight Leader and the knights arrive. He uses his Thororm Defense Spell to negate the missile, crashing without exploding. Seeing this, Carissa was horrified and she stared at the Knight Leader.''
 * Carissa: TRAITOR!

Enraged, Carissa uses a dimensional debris to attack Villian but the Knight Leader just knocks it away with his fist, injuring him.

Villian rushed to check the Knight Leaders' injury.


 * Villian: Are you all right?


 * Knight Leader: I am fine. After the coup is over, you can have me decapitated, but I would at least save Carissa from brainwashing so that the entire Royal Family can join forces to stop the KnightWalker Family and Ultimate Despair!

''With that the Knight Leader orders his knights to split into two teams: one to heal and recover the collapsed Anglican Church forces members, and the others in assisting him attacking Carissa. Knight Leader comes upon Aureolous and Carl who is still trying to dodge Carissa's dimensional debris attacks and protects him with a enerny sheild.'' Working together, Aureolous is the one who attempts to negate Carissa's dimensional slices while Knight Leader works to restrict the movements of the Curtana Original, yet Carl could do nothing but looking for a chance to strike down Carissa.
 * Villian: You should act according to your own will, instead of something you are forced to do.
 * Carl: You saved us! Why?
 * Knight Leader: I need to geniuely apologize for my attitude, for leaving the fate of the country and the fate of the princesses to you people.
 * Carl: Well, that's all right, but at first, we should all work together to stop Carissa!

''With only the spells and skills they have prior to their empowerment via Curtana Original, the Knight Leader and his knights engage Carissa and her Curtana Original. They clashed weapons and try to prevent her from using her dimensional cutting.'' ''​The knights attack on Carissa become more intense while the Anglicans begin to recover from the previous Bunker Cluster attack. Finally pushed into a corner, Carissa tries to order the firing of all the cruise missiles equipped with Bunker Cluster warheads from the destroyers, Wimbledon, Henry VII, Sherwood, Hastings, and Shakespeare on Buckingham Palace, despite wanting to use them on her attack on France, knowing that the Knight Leader would not be able to use Thororm's Defense Spell on all of them in time.''
 * Carissa: Ha-ha, her speech were well played, Riméa's speech, given in a perfect timing to rouse both the Anglicans and the knights. My sister's speech made it so that it sounded like it was directed at you, and your decision to change views moved the other knights as well. My sister just manipulated you!
 * Knight Leader: I don't mind as long as I can save you.
 * Carissa: You are severely outmatched now as you no longer have any blessing from the Curtana Original!
 * Knight Leader: It is trivial and the presence or absence of power will not make me waver.

''Carl and the Knight Leader try to rush her before she can make the orders, but they are spared their efforts however, as Acqua of the Back arrives and slams the antenna used for military transmissions on top of Carissa. Although, she dodges the attack, Acqua of the Back's actions ensures that Carissa could no longer carry out any of her orders to the armed forces.''

''After a bit of bantering, Acqua of the Back and the Knight Leader flank Carissa with their swords. Despite using the dimensional debris against them, Carissa is forced back for the first time. The battle however goes ill for Carissa further as Kanzaki Kaori, the first of the Anglican Church forces to stand up again after the Bunker Cluster attack, comes into the battle as well. With three swords against Carissa, and despite her use of the dimensional debris and her swordsmanship, the battle for her is to evade their attacks as much as she can.'' ''At that moment, Carissa uses dimensional debris not on them but on the group of knights working to treat the Anglicans, knocking them into the air. Immediately afterwards, Carissa creates a dimensional to create another debris. The Knight Leader tries to use stop the debris but is instead hit by one of the Anglicans trying to Carissa in a misfire. As the Knight Leader could no longer hold it because of the attack, the debris still hurtles out of control.''
 * 737506-79971-kanzakiph1.png: Give up. You are defeated. Your limit betrayed you. Not everything can be accomplished with only thos who are special. We are only able to go all out because there are people supporting us. Since you are being aimed by magicians from all directions, you can only continue to focus on possible attacks from your blind spots which limit your options.
 * Carissa: Indeed, the number of allies can determine the victor in a battle, but it is the reason why I never once thought my victory would lie in that direction!
 * Carissa: No matter how large a group is, you are still a collection of individuals, and as such connections can be severed between these individuals when their weaknesses or openings can be exploited.

''Carissa continues to attack the group with her dimensional debris. Acqua of the Back tries clashing swords with Carissa alone without the back-up of either Knight Leader or Kaori that made their assault against her effective in the first place. After a clashing a bit, Acqua of the Back is later forced to retreat back as he was bleeding.''
 * Carissa: FINALLY, MY GOOD LORD, SEE WHAT I CAN DONE WITH MY SUPERIOTY!

''Carissa once again proclaims her superiority in military affairs after regaining the momentum of the battle, when suddenly, a voice appeared from Carissa. It was Queen Regent Elizard.''
 * Elizard: Your childish prank is over, Carissa. Give in and we will save you.

With shock on her face when she turned to face her mother, Carissa was certainly unexpected by this.

''After gathering up Villian's servants that have come to London on their own to aid in the battle, Elizard arrives in Buckingham Palace. She quickly strikes Carissa with her Curtana Second but she manages to block it with Curtana Original, relieving Acqua of the Back and the Knight Leader from being pushed back by Carissa. Then, they started to clash their sword with astonishing speed.'' The fight continues and the swords clash, and bit by bit Curtan Second becomes damaged by the Curtana Original.
 * Carissa: Mother...
 * Elizard: I have come to stop you, Carissa, as you have no plan better than mine, and you are even doing worse.
 * Carissa: No matter what you have done, mother, the clashing of two groups eventually ended with the clash of the two Curtanas, and that I will win as my Curtana Original... is superior tha your Curtana Second!
 * Elizard: However, Carissa, you made a mistake. You think you can change the country by using already existing systems, but you are very wrong.

''With that, Elizard swings the Curtana Second so hard that it escapes from her grip. This surprises Carissa enough to put her on guard as she believes Elizard is planning something.''
 * Carissa: I believe you are planning something. What is that?
 * Elizard: This is a revolution... Never before has there been a revolution on this level. Throw out the framework. Someone who wants to overthrow the current stagnated theory cannot choose that same theory for herself. If seeing a historical first move like this surprises you, then you are still bound by the thick pillars of this country.
 * Carissa: Revolution ruined us, mother! Can't you see?!
 * Elizard: That was just your thoughts.

''Carissa was enraged. She tried to use the sword to cut Elizard down but was stopped when the Queen unfurls before her the flag of the Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Union Jack spiritual item.'' Carissa can only stand by and watch as Elizard uses the Union Jack to distribute the power of the Curtana Original to every British citizen, and with that all of Curtana Original lost its power. Immediately after, Elizard calls out to the British people, people who loved the country and wanted it to be their homeland. ''With that, the people of London from different walks of life, men, women, and children, answered Elizard's call of becoming a hero. It not only included civilians but soldiers who was involved in the coup. They all stood at the side of their beloved Queen Regent. Carissa can only curse and glare at the triumphant Elizard after the power of her Curtana Original has been drained.'' Carissa shook her head in disbelief. ''The citizens cheered for Queen Elizard's speech, but Carissa was in disbelief. Seeing this, the Anglican Church forces and the knights as well regroup, with Kaori, the Knight Leader, and Acqua of the Back at the center.'' Elizard had sensed from Carissa's tone that the latter was wavering. ''Then, Elizard simply threw her sword away. Seeing this, Carissa was filled with hubris and started to laugh at her mother.''
 * Elizard: Hear my command... Take the enormous power that resides in Curtana and those gathered by the All-English Continent which is formed by the four cultures. Take that power and release it all so that it is redistributed evenly throughout every British citizen!!
 * Elizard: Well, I will now show you how to truly lead a country... like this! Now, it is time for a great number of heroes to stand up for themselves as the people’s general election begins!
 * Elizard: You can choose to become heroes this one night using the power that you have gained. You can choose to help me, the coup, or even choose a third path like even returning the power, so long as you choose to use the power not under anyone else's will but of your own prerogative.
 * Elizard: This is quite the revolution, isn’t it? If you’re going to change history, you might as well make it something that enlivens all the people. No one will follow you if it only makes those with special privileges happy.
 * Carissa: No, mother... you simply gave Curtana's power to the people to use as your shields in order to get your position back.
 * Elizard: Your ignorance comes from your royal arrogance. It is your privileged background as royalty that allowed you to use the power of the Curtana Original, but is also why you have become arrogant. God makes us born equal. No one has decided that normal people could not use the power of the Curtana. In your arrogance, you have been blind to the fact that you was still operating under the same framework and my revolution would have changed little. I am lecturing you these not as the Queen but as your mother. Your plan is so ridiculous that it has no difference with suicide. Our country isn't so weak as you seemed to think and that you will see now how the people of the United Kingdom will become heroes in order to save you, the second princess. Together, we will erase the shame that those dreadful KnightWalkers once put on our house!
 * Elizard: You may have lost when it came to fighting with Curtana Second against Curtana Original.
 * Carissa: Despite the loss of Curtana Original's power, it is still plenty enough to defeat you...
 * Elizard: If you lose your focus for even an instant, Curtana Original's power will be stripped away by the hands of ninety million people of the country. I advise you not to neglect attacks as you try to remain focus. As more and more people arrive to the battlefield and fight with me, the more power you loses over Curtana then more it adds to their strength
 * Carissa: Impossible. Utterly impossible. Their power is still less than 20% of mine, and that I believe that though the people may have power they do not have the knowledge of magic to properly wield and control it.
 * Elizard: Agree, and I will have to do something.

However, it was Elizard's turn to laugh while Carissa was stunted in shock. ''Little did Carissa know that Elizard out a great spell during her communication to the peoples of the United Kingdom, changing her communication spell's properties to match the user’s thoughts and had adjusted the Telesma from the Curtana Original so it was in a “convenient form” that would remain stable as they used it. In short, she had made it possible for those normal people to use the power they had acquired to carry out the actions as they imagined them in their head. At the same time as this, the normal people would not be able to figure out the truth about their power, that it is magic instead of the explanations they have made for themselves.''
 * Carissa: Throw away Curtana Second?
 * Elizard: Ha, I am still the Queen and have the rights. I have the right to a single vote in this people's general election, even if I just use my fist like the rest of the people who has gathered there.

''Thus more than 500 people who had gathered there began to attack Carissa who is too busy not to lose control of her Curtana Original in order to properly fight back. Stiyl Magnus later arrives as well, throwing a rune cards from a transport plane to summon Innocentius for the battle. Then, Index is finally able to finish analyzing Curtana Original and uses Spell Intercept on it. It moves the sword in Carissa's hand and its excess Telesma becomes redistributed. Carissa notices and tries to regain control.''

''At this time, seeing his friends and companions fighting for stopping Carissa's tyranny, seeing himself cannot do a strike because of the lack of his courage to confront magic, Carl felt guilt in his heart... as his arm suddenly glowed orange. The orange aura had drove many people's attention.''
 * Carl: No... Do I need to... unleash... "that"?

Flashback
It happened 3 years ago, after Carl's father, a member of Royal Air Force, rumored to have died on battlefield, and thus Carl was orphaned.

''Sitting quietly under a tree and holding a red helium balloon in his left hand, a 21-year-old Carl was looking at the strange crest on his left arm when some youngmen appeared behind him. It was a group of bullies and their leader was a neighboring kid who often bullied Carl, while others were just some punks he befriended.'' ''Carl turned and saw the bullies running towards them, and he was horrified. He tried to escape but the bullies had surrounded him.'' ''​Before Carl could react, the leader had pushed Carl into a pond of muddy water on the street and grabbed the balloon from him. He then showed his tongue to Carl.'' ''​Without warning, the bullies' leader poked the balloon with a needle from his pocket, and all of a sudden, it popped. Carl was horrified by this, and he screamed, but the bullies simply made fun of him. They laughed at him and threw the balloon's fragments on his face.'' ''All of a sudden, Carl bursted in rage and roared as his arm started to glow and had orange metalic scales coming out of it. A flaming blade had came out of his elbow, and his hair turned half white, half black. His eyes turned orange and shined with anger.''
 * Leader: Hey, guys, did you saw that guy with a red balloon? Ha, that's the guy I told you once! The freak with a strange birth mark on his arm!
 * Bully 1: Freak! Freak, come here!
 * Bully 1: Give us that balloons.
 * Carl: No, that's the birthday present my dad bought for me half a month ago.
 * Bully 2: Your dad won't get back. Eckidina KnightWalker fed him bullets!
 * Carl: DON'T YOU DARE INSULT MY DAD!
 * Leader: Nah, who will want this balloon, Carl? Who cares if you have a red balloon?
 * Carl: Ugh... my arm...
 * Bully 3: Wait a sec...

''The bullies stopped laughing and stared at Carl with horror. Carl the roared out and slashed the leader's chest, grabbing out his heart and ate it. The other people screamed in horror as the were about to run, but Carl had chased them and torn the apart...''

''Then, after all of those was over, Carl was relieved from his horror and escaped. He then had realized that something was terribly wrong within him, like someone had planted some... thing... into his arm, and the thing was trying to take over his soul.''

''Since no one would care for some street punks' death, police had pinned the crimes on the KnightWalker supporters and thus Carl went free. Then, Carl had joined Royal Air Force in order to fight against the KnightWalker Family whom he believed to took his father's life.''

Flashback
''​With a yell, Carl's arms started to change once again and people beside him were all stunted by this, but since knowing Carl was on their side, their confidence was even stronger than before. Having a plan in his mind, Carl turned to Acqua of the Back.'' ''William Orwell, or Acqua of the Back had realized what Carl's plan is by simply looking at his arms. Then, Carl ran to Acqua of the Back and lands on his Ascalon, at which point he then swings it toward Carissa who was 10 meters away. With a smile on his face, Carl's fist bumped on the Curtana Original, destroying it, with the speechless Carissa still holding it up.'
 * Carl: Yes, I will... for protecting all of us!
 * Carl: William!
 * Acqua: I know!

In just 5 seconds before the final strike, Carl froze in the air with a smile while Carissa looked at him with shock and confusion. ''Carl's fist then strikes Carissa's face and sends her flying to the ruins of Buckingham Palace and later crashing on a London road. Thus ends the battle and the coup d’état with her defeat and the destruction of the source and symbol of her power, the Curtana Original.''
 * Carissa: ...... WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!?
 * Carl: Sorry to break it to you, princess, but I need to do this in your face.
 * Carissa: Aww, spare my face!!! ...

''The English Civil War ends... with a punch in the face. Revolution defeats the tyranny.''

After the war...
''After the defeat of Carissa and the destruction of the Curtana Original, Carl fell on the ground with his body, cloth and hair returned back to normal. Matt ran towards him and hugged him as Carl opened his eyes while regaining conciousness. Meanwhile, Acqua of the Back had spoke something to the Knight Leader before he left with Aureolous.''


 * Acqua: There are some message coming from Russian Eastern Orthodox Church, since the New USSR had made their next move. Patriarch Krans needs someone to fight against King Hamdo in Moscow. I will go there since Vatican is not safe. Tell Villian that I left.
 * Knight Leader: William, it's an honor for me to meet I'm looking forward to see you again. I will place your truncheon in the Buckingham Palace to honor your contribution.

''Nodded, Acqua then left with Aureolous for Moscow. Little did he know that the Knight Leader twisted Acqua's words a bit to make it look like Acqua of the Back was proposing to Villian.''

''Meanwhile, Elizard picks up the Curtana Second that she has thrown away before, chipped from the battle with the original. As she thinks of having Carl destroy the sword, the Knight Leader appears after informing Villian about Acqua's leaving.''
 * Knight Leader: Your Majesty, sincerely apologize for participating this coup. What shall we do now?
 * Elizard: I don't blame you, since you were on your duty of doing things you must do. Don't worry about the people discovering the truth behind the spell that empowered them. If they did discovered it was magin, then they will simply tell themselves that magic exists... since there is no rule that says that magic should always be hidden. You are pardoned.
 * Knight Leader: Thank you, Your Majesty.

''The Knight Leader then slowly left, and Elizard looked at Carl, who was leaving with Matt. Suddenly, she had found something strange and surprising to her.'' Just at this time, Rimea came to talk to her mother. ​Queen Elizard lowered her head while looking pitifully at an uncouncious Carissa.
 * Elizard: He looked so much like my late father... when he was young...
 * Rimea: What are we going to do to the participants of the coup? The Knights will not be punished, right?
 * Elizard: The New Light had surrendered and confessed their crimes, and they also joined the cause to fix this, so we don't need to punish them, either.
 * Rimea: However, what shall we do to Carissa, mother?
 * Elizard: I will have her under control, my dear.

River Thames
''After Carissa was captured for her crimes, she was delivered to Tower of London, and Queen Elizard will try to find an antidote for her second daughter in order to make her reagin consiousness. On the ship carried Carissa and two knights, riding along Thames, the knights were joking to each other, not knowing that a smoky shadow had crawled on the boat and flowed to them on the deck like liquid.''
 * Knight 1: China has an old saying, "The bird flied out first will be shot down first." I think Princess Carissa will learn a lesson from her arrogant behavior!
 * Knight 2: The only strange thing is that Carl Robinson gave the last blow to Carissa. I really don't know how he did it, but he seemed to have some potential magic power, and don't you think his face resembled our late King Thomas, Her Majesty's father, when he was young?
 * Knight 1: Well, that was just a coinsidence, okay?

Before the first knight could finished, the shadow had appeared behind him, this time with a more human like look.
 * Knight 2: Uh... behind you!
 * Knight 1: Well, that's an old trick-- (!!!!!)

''Before the knight could finished, the shadow had turned to see the ship's captain. The captain left the seat and sliced the first knight's throat from behind, and then the captain attacked the second knight as he was about to strike back. Soon, blood started to flow on the boat. With the two knights killed in a brutal ways, the black shadow nodded to the captain, and the captain opened the door of Carissa's cell.''

''Sitting on a bench, Carissa was now exhausted, and her eyes seemed vacant and emotionless. However, when Carissa looked up, she had a surprise on her face.'' ''The shadow was none other than the Fallen himself. Carissa stood up with horror as the Fallen came to her closer.'' Carissa shook her head in confusion. ''Carissa then noticed that the ship's captain, beside the Fallen, was not killed by the Fallen and did not protest against him. Carissa then realized that the captain was a minion of the Fallen as well.''
 * Carissa: Lord Fallen...
 * The Fallen: [Why being so scared, Carissa? You saw me once, and now I am here to rescue you. My plan of controlling England cannot succeeded without you. That mysterious "man" had done well, since he gave me some opportunity to find an useful agent in the United Kingdom.]
 * Carissa: I am only your agent?
 * The Fallen: [Not quite, since you mean much more to me, a lot more than an agent.]

''The captain spoke in a female voice. She did not speak for a long time before this, and it frightened Carissa. The captain then turned her back, took of her hat and revealed herself to be a beautiful blonde woman with large eyes and pale skin, smiling at Carissa before giving a bow.'' ''​Carissa stood up from her bench as Lusamine stepped aside to give a space for her. Carissa then walked out and looked at the Fallen.''
 * Carissa: The ambush and rescue happened just now... are your plan all along, right?
 * The captain: Yes, it is, but they are not all of our plan. Our plan is much, much bigger.
 * Lusamine: I am Lusamine, the current leader of Sephira Gastronomics, at your service, Your Majesty.
 * The Fallen: [Come, and allow Lusamine to take you to Vatican later.]
 * Carissa: Why Vatican?

The Fallen could not hide his evil smile while looking at a curious Carissa. ''Carissa seemed to be tempted and she completely succumbed to the brainwashing effect. The Fallen had managed to corrupt her even further than Aleister Crowley had at first imagined.'' ''Looking at the Fallen, Carissa then shown a dreadful smile, a smile that was no longer humane. Finally, the effect of brainwashing dart had exceeded, making Carissa gone insane. Behaving like a servant rather than a queen, she bowed to the Fallen in a polite manner while grinning like a psychopath.''
 * The Fallen: [Isn't your dream to join Catholic Church? You should have know Vatican and Catholic Church have changed, Carissa, and the Church will definitely support you to get back to your place, especially when they had got a new Pope in mind. The United Kingdom is yours, Ireland is yours, India will be yours, American will be yours, Hong Kong and Southen China will be yours, Australia will be yours... Eventually, the whole world will present you your own seat as long as you allow the KnightWalkers to enter your Empire. Of course, with me on your side, your sun shall never fall.]
 * The Fallen: [Come with us then, my child, and I will soon tell you about the origin behind the British Empire on your Earth. Things will get funnier after you joined forces with a new and improved Church milliant.]
 * Carissa: I see...

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Carissa: As you wish, Lord Fallen.

As the Fallen nodded in satisfaction, Lusamine then turned to the Fallen and asked him something. Like Carissa, ​Lusamine bowed to the Fallen with respect.
 * Lusamine: What about that Carl... Carl whatever... I mean, the cousin of Carissa? He shared his magic power with his grandfather and might become a major threat.
 * 30752606.jpeg Fallen: [The new Pope will do these things and we don't need to interfere. Now, as soon as Sonia Nevermind come back from Sleepy Hollow - She will be back, I am sure. - I will let her to sent our secret weapon to Aldegyr Kingdom, to the sister of that sweet little girl who that "man" - that petty Michael Langdon - once framed... The new "angel" shall be  Kanon Rihavein . You and I both know this. Soon enough, with Kanon as the pioneer of my army, this planet will be my trophy. Do you understand?]
 * Lusamine: Yes, my lord.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Next day...


 * Great_British.pngter: The English Civil War was currently over, but some had worried that it was still ongoing. Some the knights who captured Princess Carissa were found mysteriously mutilated and their corpses were thrown in River Thames. Carissa went missing ever since until this morning, she appeared in Vatican and officially declared to convert her belief into Catholism and claimed to be the first Catholic queen of England for centuries. Caridinal Aleister Crowley had accepted her request. An hour ago, Pricess Carissa had now officially declared her alignment as a KnightWalker Alliance supporter...

Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow - Reunion 

<p style="text-align:center;">' Months ago... ' ''Not everyone is unaware of Katrina's pregnancy like Ichabod. Katrina told this to her best friend, Abigail Adams, months ago. They were close friends, and Katrina was also a midwife to Mrs. Adams. On that day, Mrs. Adams prepared two glass cups of berry juice and blessed Katrina. The cups were decorated with flower patterns and was the favorite of the future First Lady.''
 * Abigail: To you, Katrina... the soon to be mother. I'm so thrilled for you to experience the joys of motherhood, as I have. Ichabod is going to be the happiest man alive. That is, until he meets the little "monster".

At that time, both of the women were unaware the tragedy that would happen months later...

<p style="text-align:center;">' Back to present... ' The flashback was over, so was the happiness.

''After the Revolotinary War was over, the deceased Ichabod Crane was honored as a martyr. A funeral was held. Robbed in her black cloth and with tears in her eyes, Katrina stood silently in front of Ichabod's coffin, and so did John and Abigail Adams, along with many others. Thomas Jefferson, who had just returned from Virginia, held a speech mourning Ichabod's death, and he, among others, planned to bury Ichabod inside a lake and the Hessian far away from the town (in another lake) to prevent curses.''

''A splash of water was made and Ichabod Crane, with his coffin, was buried underneath the water. People who was once helped by Crane all wept and even cried out. At this point, Katrina felt that her husband was indeed a hero.''

''At night, when everyone was gone, John and Abigail Adams, Betsy, Knapp and Katrina had come to salvage the coffin out from the water and planned to bury him in another place under Washington's secret command. They found a underground cave beside the lake and then buried Ichabod inside it. After the work was done, Katrina told her friends some horrific news.'' ''Katrina nodded and immediatly went away. She disappeared into the darkness. Abigail Adams turned back and told Reverend Knapp about a plan.'' ''The killer she referred came from this episode - LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow - The Hanged Man, where a nameless killer emerged to kill poor individuals by cutting their neck and hanging them upside down. Inspired by Benjamin Franklin, Abigail Adams had realized that the killer might be an artist. After years of investigation, she had discovered that the killer was the corrupt artist, James Colby, who was driven out from Washington's party years ago.''
 * Katrina: I have to leave here now. My stepmother had taken many of my coven sisters, and she will not let me go. I must head to Fredericks Manor quickly.
 * Betsy: No, Katrina, if you go, we will not be sure when exactly you will return.
 * Knapp: Katrina's right, Betsy. Lady Van Tassel is still out there getting away with her crimes, and we need to prevent her from harming us. Besides the founding fathers and the corpse of Ichabod, Katrina is the first we need to protect... Katrina, go to Fredericks Manor and stay there. You will be safe.
 * Knapp: Are you really...?
 * Abigail: I had found out who the murderer that preformed the Hanged Man is... and only you can help me to stop the killer.

''The next day, Abigail Adams used herself as a bait to lure Colby into killing her. Colby prepared his unfinished painting beside him, and tied Abigail Adams' hand after forcing her to sit in a chair. He pulled out a razor from his pocket and grinned evily.'' ''Just as Colby raised his razor and attempted to slash Mrs. Adams' throat, Knapp went inside with his crucifix. He showed it to Colby and yelled out a spell loudly. Under the influence of the spell, Colby collapse on the floor in pain and looked at Abigail Adams in sheer hate.'' ''The spell was finished and Colby disappeared. Then, he appeared on his unfished self-portrait, sitting in his chair and drawing. After sealing Colby, Abigail Adams quickly wrote something down on a note and hide it inside a secret place within her drawer.'' After defeating Colby, Knapp had managed to preserve the head of Horseman of Death and buried it carefully somewhere...
 * Colby: You will be my finest work, Mrs. Adams.
 * Abigail: Your murder rampage is over, Mr. Colby.
 * Abigail: Katrina, if one day you returned this place, fate will let you see this and you will know the truth...

''However, unbeknowest to all, Katrina could hardly return. Hours before Colby's defeat, Katrina was walking along at the street in the dark night when suddenly, a painful feeling had came from her stomach. Katrina was forced to stop and soon realized what was happening.'' ''Suddenly, four hooded figures had appeared and surrounded Katrina with hostile feelings coming from their eyes. They are Four who Speaks as One, to Katrina's shock.'' ''Before the Four attempted to attack Katrina, a mist suddenly appeared. It was a transportation spell that Katrina casted, and then she managed to transported herself... to Fredericks Manor. Before she left, she heard Lady Van Tassel taunting her...''
 * Katrina: No, not now...
 * Katrina: You? You have come for me, too? You are my friends!
 * Sister 1: No more.
 * Sister 2: Your stepmother wanted us to know...
 * Sister 3: ... the exact place where you buried Ichabod...
 * Sister 4: ... after transferring his body.
 * Katrina: I do not know what you are talking about. I will never tell you!
 * The Four: So be it.
 * Lady Van Tassel: DEAR KATRINA... YOU SHALL HAVE A REUNION WITH YOUR HUSBAND... IN HELL.

Horseman's burial site
''One minute later, Serilda (who was under Michael's mind control) and Michael had now arrived near the lake where the Horseman was buried. Michael was wearing cassock instead of hood.'' ''Then, Serilda started to cast a spell in an ancient language that was long dead. Michael watched the surface of the water with anticipation. His eyes were now sparkling red light, with a look full of sheer malice and insanity.''
 * Michael: This is it, Serilda. If you do this for our master, you can unleash your revenge. Katrina Van Tassel's remaining force will be wiped out one by one, and you shall rebuild your legend.
 * Serilda: Very well. Let's begin.

''All of a sudden, a large coffin had surfaced from the water and then it floated in the air, Michael then picked a large golden key as the coffin floated in front of him and landed. Michael could not hid his psychopathic smile. Kyouko's question now had an answer - the Unknown Figure is a psychopath pretended to be a polite and calm man.'' ''With a smile full of malice, Michael started to open the coffin with this key... as the lighting flashed, lightened his sick and horrendous smiling face.''
 * Michael: Would you look at that...
 * Michael: A head for a head. The Horseman of Death, after 2 hundreds years, now you can unleash your anger to anyone who dare to stand in the Master's way... RIDE!

Old Prison
<p style="text-align:center;"> Eckidina' office

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

''With his hooded on and disguised as the Unknown Figure, Michael walked into Eckidina's office, and Eckidina was not there. Misogi was standing in the office, waiting for him.'' Misogi was mildly surprised. ''Misogi was not understand what this "unknown man" meant (he is unawared the real identity of the Unknown Figure), but since he had everything under control, Misogi had to walked out first. After Misogi had left, Michael did not go out instantly. He sat down on a chair and started to look at Eckidina's photo with disgust.''
 * Misogi: Serilda is revived, sir.
 * Michael: I know, Misogi. I'm afraid we don't need to stay in here anymore. We will leave here.
 * Misogi: Why?
 * Michael: Nevins is dead. Katarina and Corbin escaped, but don't worry. I have make everything in control. We just need to leave this place for a while, and we will redevous with Eckidina in the woods. Everything is now functioning as I forseen. Go, and I will come for you after I deal with some urgent problems.
 * Michael: Time to end this boring display with these spoiled children.

''He narrowed his eyes and surveyed the room before standing up. Then, pointing at Eckidina's photo, he sang in a tune of Leslie Gore's famous song, "You don't own me", but with a few parts of lyrics changed.''
 * Michael:  ♪ You don't own me... I'm not just one of your many toys... You don't own me... Don't say I can't have other decoys... ♪

''After that, Michael left the room but he did not follow Misogi. Instead, he went to a direction just the opposite. Behind him, Misogi was suddenly knocked by an unknown force from behind and collapsed on the floor. Michael heard the noise with a cruel smile...''
 * Michael: It's your turn, Ancitif.

<p style="text-align:center;"><u style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;text-align:center;">Game room

''Sister Mary Eunice opened her eyes and struggled herself to get up. She had a feelings of vomiting and was absolutely dizzy. She stood up and looked around. For a sudden, everything fell silent. Restoring her strength, Sister Mary Eunice started to walked carefully until she could walk properly. She then went out of the underground entrance and trying to get into Munition Tunnels with her map, searching for her friends.''

''Suddenly, a chain made of shadows had tied Sister Mary Eunice's leg, making her fell on the ground with a scream. The shadow chain was made to tie a spritual being. Behind her, Michael was holding the chain while laughing in his normal voice.'' ​Sister Mary Eunice could not believe the voice she had heard...
 * Michael: Sorry to trip you, Sister, but I need you to do something.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Michael?

Munition Tunnels
''Meanwhile, Mana, Adam, the Bride, Poison Ivy and Asuha were trapped inside the tunnels with out the map. Adam tried to cut through the wall with his blade but nothing worked. Asuha nearly bursted into tears as the Bride, Ivy and Mana tried to comfort her.'' ''​At this time, while cutting the wall, Adam tried to overcome his guilt caused by Dr. Frankenstein's remorseful death. He stopped cutting the wall and then he lowered his head with sadness. The Bride immediately came there and confort him.'' Before the Bride could finished, Asuha started to scream in horror. Mana helded Asuha's shoulder and tried to calm her down. Just then, not far away, Kyouko, Sonia and Kyouko had escorted an injured Katarina to the exit as Mana suddenly noticed them. ''​Mana immediately went to Sonia and looked at Katarina, who was extremely pale. Mana immediately asked her what happened, and Kyouko told her what had happened to Katarina. For a second, everyone's blood tempreture dropped to nearly a state of Absolute Zero as a result of this shocking news.'' Just then, Katarina struggled herself to speak. Filled with wrath and anger, Adam could not help himself from the impulse of killing Michael. However, Poison Ivy and Rentaro stopped him. ''​Suddenly, a demonic shadow had appeared behind Rentaro, Sonia, Kyouko and Katarina, with its eyes glowed in sheer malice. Asuha and Mana noticed the demonic shadow and were both alarmed. The remaining team members had noticed the shadow not long afterwards.'' ''Then, all of a sudden, the demonic shadow walked closer as Mana's torch had brightened its face - or more precisely, his face. It was Misogi, but his face was different from before and his expression was even darker. What is more, his eyes had soon turned white.''
 * Adam: This wall is so... tough...
 * Adam: Dr. Frankenstein... I did not expect that he will die like this. Once, how I hated him, but now I could not help feel sorry for him. I should have find him and tell him instantly after knowing his wife and his brother's true nature, but I went too extreme to kill them...
 * Bride: Adam, this is not your fault. Complaining had no use at all. We must do something to get out of here.
 * Asuha: GET OUT!? But we're now trapped! Sister Mary Eunice, Michael, Katarina and La Folia were still not here! Maybe that demon Moloch had caught them! NOW, WE WILL NEVER GET BACK TO OUR HOME! OUR WORLD IS AT WAR, AND NOW WE ARE TRAPPED HERE LIKE THIS?!
 * Mana: Hey, listen...
 * Mana: It's not over. I won't ever believe we have lost the hope.
 * Mana: Thank God!
 * Mana: HOW CAN MICHAEL DO SUCH A THING!?
 * Asuha: Oh, I cannot believe it, either! He... he treated us so well in Rome, and he saved us!
 * Katarina: Guys... I know it was very hard to believe this, but it was really Michael... He told me he is an Anti-Christ...
 * All: What?
 * Katarina: He showed the Grand Grimoire and the real blood moon pendant to me... Terra of the Left is simply a bait of his, and saving us is simply a ruse to gain our trust so that he can make himself a hero in everyone's eyes...
 * Adam: Then, I will kill him before he let all of us die!
 * Poison Ivy: It's not the right time. Since he had the Grand Grimoire, Michael is the only way to allow us coming back to our respective worlds, and since La Folia and Sister Mary Eunice are not here, he might know where they are.
 * Rentaro: I agree. We need to get out of this tunnel as fast as we could. Who knows if that zombie witch, Serilda of Abaddon, is behind us?
 * ???: Looks like that Michael had played you around, my friends. The master will be pleased to see you running around like a bunch of terrified mice.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Ancitif: (in Misogi's body) Ancitif never fails.

''Hearing the name "Ancitif", the Team Witnesses members were all confused. They never heard of this strange names before. Therefore, it caused a tremendous silence. Ancitif (while possessing Misogi) was very much annoyed.'' ''Ancitif narrowed his eyes with full of spite and malice. Then, Katarina had floated from Kyouko all of a sudden, which Sonia, Kyouko and Rentaro reacted with horror and tried to pull Katarina down, but the demon then pushed her to a wall, bumping her many times.'' ''​All of a sudden, Katarina was pushed by the demon and went all to a wall that was 10 meters far away. Katarina suffered a back injury with this.'' ​Katarina fell on the ground as Ancitif cackled in sheer malice. ​Hearing this, Mana and Asuha reacted in total shock. ''Like others, ​Mana tried to escape from Ancitif, but then she saw Michael stood there between them and an injured Katarina. Inside his cassock, Michael's eyes had filled with malice and evil. He tied Sister Mary Eunice in a shadow chain, and the nun was bleeded in her nose. This was strange because ghosts was not supposed to be injured, but...'' Michael asked in a cold tone like that of a shell after its soul was sucked out by something.
 * Ancitif: This is embarrassing. Maybe you people don't know my name, since this is the first time we meet, but at first allow me to introduce myself... with THIS!
 * Ancitif: AND LORD SAY TO THE CRIPPLE SOUL, "TAKE UP THY HAND... AND FLYYYYYYYY!!!!"
 * Katarina: AHHHHHHH!!!
 * Ancitif: NOW WOULD YOU PEOPLE REMEMBER ME NOW!? I am the voice in Jennifer Mills' head, urging her to kill Abbie!
 * Mana: YOU!?
 * Ancitif: It will be too late to stop the Horseman, my friends. IT HAS RIDES. Ichabod had revived as a result, but that is a calculated risk my Master is willingly to take... in our full plan. Corbin will die. This is his fate and... you can never undo it.
 * Michael: Looks like Katarina had told you people about my true self, hadn't she?
 * Michael: Come closer and Sister Mary Eunice will be doomed to Hell. You think I can't do it?

''Finally knowing this man true nature, ​Sonia looked at Michael as her eyes returned to red, as her heart soon filled with disgust since she suffered at the hand of "Unknown Figure" more than anyone else beside her. Once suspecting the monster's identity as Terra, Sonia once considered this "kind" and "heroic" man as her firend, but now she only saw him as a "fiend".'' ''All of the scene had flashed in Sonia's mind - abuse, threat, torture, deception and fake heroic attitude... She cried out loud at Michael as she lifted her gun, which was provided by La Folia when they were in Corbin's cabin.'' ''To Sonia's anger, ​Michael then chuckled deviously without showing any fear in his eyes. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and grinned like a psychopath.'' ''​Sonia fired a shot at Michael, but Michael had dodged it with inhuman speed. Feeling mocked, Sonia yelled at Michael as she ran towards him.'' ''​Before Sonia could finished, someone had appeared behind Michael and attacked Sonia. Sonia and others were very shocked to see the attacker's face - It was La Folia! However, there was something very strange hidden in La Folia's eyes - vacancy and rage.''
 * Sonia: (to Mana) Leave this to me.
 * Sonia: You liar! You blind us! Release Sister Mary Eunice now or I will make you suffer 100 times worse than I had suffered! I had finally know what you did in Shanghai, and regarding all of those unbearable things you had committed, as the ruler of Novosic Kingdom, I will sentence you - DEATH!
 * Michael: Sonia... look at you. I see what you've become. I'm glad that I gave you up. HAHAHAHAHA...
 * Sonia: THIS IS BETWEEN YOU AND ME!

''La Folia was obviously brainwashed by Michael. Michael had planted a tiny piece of his soul inside La Folia and thus controlled her mind. Sonia and La Folia engaged to a fight while the Team Witness members (including Katarina who struggled to got up) could not believe what had happened. They just looked at the fight with awful shock that La Folia and Sonia struggled. Then, after half a minute's fight, La Folia and Sonia had both drew their guns and pointed to each other.''

''Then, La Folia started to speak to Sonia as Michael behind her started to move his lips. It was made clear that La Folia was speaking what Michael intended to speak.'' ​Sonia refused, however, as she noticed Michael was moving his lips. Hearing this, ​Sonia was a bit of relent, but she did not lowered her gun. ''​Sonia was enraged and tried to punch Michael, but the latter simply raised his hand and formed a invisible sheild between them. Sonia then punched the sheild but it never work. Under Michael's possession, La Folia had pointed the gun to her own head. Sonia turned back and looked at La Folia with horror.'' ​Before Michael could finished, everyone behind Sonia was tied by purple chains made by evil shadows so that they could not move or interfere this. ''​Sonia's body started to tremble as she lowered her head with tears streaming down her eyes. She shivered in horror as she made her choice in a cracked voice...'' ''​Katarina could not believe what had Sonia chose. Michael laughed out insanely and the possessed La Folia did the same.''
 * Michael / La Folia (possessed): Put your gun down, Sonia.
 * Sonia: Never! I don't know what that liar had planted inside you, but this is not what you truly want to say. La Folia, I am going to save you.
 * Michael / La Folia (possessed): Sonia, you pathetic worm, who is living in despair and drowing in despair... tell me how will you fix me? If you want me to surrender, fine... there is only one condition, but you won't like it.
 * Sonia: Try me.
 * Michael / La Folia (possessed): Kill your lovely detective friend.
 * Michael / La Folia (possessed): Make a choice then, Sonia, if you are upset by this condition. Either I shoot Kyouko to hurt you... or I shoot La Folia with her own hand to hurt Katarina. Make a choice in 3 minutes or I will shoot Kyouko first and let La Folia eat the bullet.
 * Sonia: If you had to choose, why don't you kill me instead?
 * Michael / La Folia (possessed): That will be the last thing I do. By now, you must make a choice. There is only 2 minutes left. You don't want to see both of them died and hurt both you and Katarina, right? What will Katarina or Kyouko think about your hestitation?
 * Sonia: Shoot La Folia...

Katarina looked at Sonia with shock and confusion. Without noticing this, ​Sonia had already broken in her mind. All of a sudden, ​Michael's eyes widened as the possessed La Folia removed the gun from her head and shot Kyouko in her shoulder. ''​Sonia immediately went to Kyouko as Michael removed his soul fragment from La Folia and merged with himself. Then, he releashed everyone before leaving with Misogi (who was still under Ancitif's possession) via teleportation. Ignoring her injury, Katarina immediately ran to La Folia and Kyouko, as Sister Mary Eunice tried to cure Kyouko with magic.''
 * Katarina: Sonia...
 * Sonia: I had no choice, Katarina. You can punish me later as you want.
 * Michael / La Folia (possessed): In the end...
 * Kyouko: AHHH!!!
 * Michael / La Folia (possessed): ... you lost.
 * Sonia: NO!

With vacancy in her eyes and tears on her face, Sonia looked at an unconcious La Folia while trembling.
 * Sonia: Oh, no, what have I... done? ...

''In a dark and wet cave undeground, there were streams flowing through the tiny space between the rocks. The drips of water falling from the top had dropped on something. It made a splash. The thing was a decayed coffin. Most of the coffin was undeneath a thick layers of mud, but some had not.''
 * Knapp: (off-screen) We don't have much time.
 * Katrina: (off-screen) No, Ichabod, please, don't leave me...

''Suddenly, it began to shake. Then, an arm surfaced from the mud, and then... the upper body of Ichabod Crane appeared from the mud as well, coming back to life and trying to breath for air. Even with his good memories, Ichabod had no idea that he had been buried underneath his grave for almost 230 years. There were some frogs hopping near the place. As he tried to figure out what was happening, Ichabod crawled out from his decayed coffin and tried to look at himself.''

''The wound that the Horseman gave him was still there, on his chest. Ichabod then shambled his way to find the exit to this mysterious place. When he put his hand on a stone, Ichabod heard a strange noise and looked up. He was surprised to see a hole appearing right in front of him, letting air in.''

''Ichabod immediately crawled out from hole and found himself in a wood. He tried to walked ahead, but then he fell into a shallow river instead. Feeling very thristy, Ichabod drank some water and went on his way through the woods. He walked onto a strange road with fog surrounding him. He touched the road and was very surprised that the road was not feel like mud.''

''Then, Ichabod looked around with confusion as he stood up again, observing the foggy road that leads to unknown. Suddenly, a strange bellow appeared behind Ichabod, and it sounded like an elephant. Ichabod turned back and then he could not believe what he had saw - an enormous metal chest with four strange wheel coming towards him. Fourtunately, the thing just passed Ichabod without hitting him.''

Ichabod had no idea that it was a truck.

''However, there were something smaller, but also with four wheels, had appeared behind Ichabod, and it narrowly missed him before hitting a tree near a large sign. A crow was on the sign. A man went outside of the "four-wheeled thing" (which is in fact, a car), and Ichabod immediately turned back and ran away.''

''The crow on the sign had flew away as well. On the sign, the words were...''



Fox Creek Stables
''In last episode, we had been told that Eckidina had came to Corbin's house and lured Abbie to somewhere - and that was their destination. On the way to the stables on a police car, Abbie started to ask Eckidina some questions.'' ​Eckidina smiled as she lied to Abbie about her name. ''​The police car rode all its way to Fox Creeks Stables. The night was very dark and there were thunders booming on the sky. It was clear that a storm was coming.'' ''​Abbie then left the police car and went for the house. With a devious smile, Eckidina immediately went away quietly. Just then, Abbie's telephone rang. It was the call of Corbin.'' ​Abbie then hung up the phone and went to knock the door. ''No one answered. Abbie then opened her torch and searched the room through the window. No one was found. Then, Abbie went on searching.''
 * Abbie: What's the matter anyway?
 * Eckidina: It was my father, Jimmy Ogleby. He said the horses was stratled by something, probably wolves. He tried to call the police, but um, our phone did not work somehow. So I tried to invite our famous Sheriff August Corbin to help us by visiting him, but very sad, he went missing. Fortunately, I met you, Lt. Mills.
 * Abbie: And this is why I got into police work.
 * Eckidina: But you're gonna miss this when one day you retired. I tell you!
 * Abbie: Haha, okay... and what is your name?
 * Eckidina: My name is Eckidina Oglevie.
 * Eckidina: Lieutenant, you go to the house. See if you can find my dad. If you found him, get him out alive. Be careful.
 * Abbie: What will you do, by the way?
 * Eckidina: Uh, watching the work of Sheriff's best student?
 * Abbie: Fair enough.
 * Abbie: This is Abigail Mills.
 * Corbin: [Abbie, where are you? I called my house but you were not in it.]
 * Abbie: Sorry, but I need to deal with a case when you are absent. It was I who need to ask where you are.
 * Corbin: Well, listen, no matter what you are doing, please be careful. What case is you dealing with, by the way?
 * Abbie: A strange case in Fox Cables. A girl named Eckidina seeks our help and I will contact you later, Corbin.
 * Corbin: Wait, ECKIDINA?
 * Abbie: Be confident on me. Farewell.
 * Abbie: Mr. Oglevie? It's Lieutenant Mills.

Sleepy Hollow Woods
''Corbin was horrified when Abbie hung up the phone. He and Knapp had already escaped to a place not far from the old prison.'' ''All of a sudden, Knapp was hestitated. He wanted Corbin to be alive, but he cannot leave Abbie alone either. However, if Corbin went to save Abbie in a time like this, his life will be put on risk.'' ''Knapp then pointed to a house nearly 100 meters away. Corbin, however, was determined to go there.'' ''​With his eyes narrowed, Corbin went to the stables. Knapp had assumed with sadness that this will be their last goodbye...''
 * Corbin: ABBIE? ARE YOU LISTENING? DON'T TRUST HER! THAT'S NOT---
 * Corbin: Abbie was in danger. I assume Eckidina had lured her to a place named Fox Creeks Stables. I need to save her.
 * Knapp: Sheriff...
 * Knapp: Sheriff, let me go and save her. It's just there.
 * Corbin: No, it was my duty to help her. You need to stay alive to guard the Horseman's head. If this day seals my fate, then let it comes. Goodbye.

<p style="text-align:center;"> '... and he will be right.'

Fox Creek Stables
''With his gun and torch, Corbin then slowly into the stables looking for Abbie. Some of the horses were very upset, and Corbin needed to calm them down.'' ''Meanwhile, at outside, Abbie was still searching in the yard when suddenly, she came to a small truck. Abbie went nearer to the truck and found no one inside. Suddenly, a rifle dropped from the vehicle. Just then, Corbin had contacted Abbie via his walkie talkie.'' ​Abbie was surprised that Corbin had arrived, and yet she then contacted him and reported things immediately. ''At this time, Corbin was still comforting the horses in the stables. When he heard about the weapons, Corbin had immediately felt danger was closing in. Meanwhile, when Abbie walked to a place not far away from the vehicle, she was horrified to find something - It was a corpse, with no head.'' ''​Hearing this, Corbin immediately sensed something and lifted his gun to a place where a pale horse was standing. The horse was not screaming or whining like others, and it seemed that there was someone hiding behind it...'' ''​Then, the person hiding behind the horse had came out. It was a tall figure with red military coat in 18th century style, very much like the British soldier at that time. It also held a broad axe as it glowed orange and was sizzling.''
 * Corbin: Hush, shh, shh, easy, easy...
 * Corbin: [This is Sheriff Corbin. I am not far away. Is there anything happened?]
 * Abbie: We got a weapon on the ground.
 * Corbin: [Say again, Abbie? The signal is breaking up.]
 * HeadlessCorpse.pngAbbie: Some thing is wrong. We have a weapon on the ground!
 * Corbin: (paused) [Stand by.]
 * Abbie: Oh, my... CORBIN! I FOUND THE MAN I WAS LOOKING FOR! SOMEONE CUT OFF HIS HEAD!
 * Corbin: This is the sheriff. Step out where I can see you.

<p style="text-align:center;">But the point is, this person had no head......



<p style="text-align:center;"> - Corbin: My God...

''The headless man then drew his axe as Corbin tried to shoot at him. Corbin shot every bullets he had to the headless man, but none of them had actually work. At this time, Abbie had heard gunshots and immediately went to the stables where the gunfire began. When all of his efforts were futile, Corbin closed his eyes as the headless man then walked closer and closer, swinging his axe and...''

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Ancitif: (background) You will die, August Corbin... at the hands of the Horseman of Death... and I will kill the sister. Must die. I will kill her. I will kill Abbie...'

''Outside of the stable, Abbie went closer to its wooden wall, when suddenly, sonething sharp had pierced through the wall. Terrified, Abbie screamed in horror and collapsed on the ground, right before the sharp thing came back to inside. Abbie crawled to the door of stable, when suddenly, the thunder boomed as a headless man who rode a pale horse rushed out of the door.''

Abbie shived with terror as she watched the empty neck of this mysterious creature coming from nowhere.



''The rider rode the horse just a few meters away before he stopped. Then, Abbie watched with horror as the rider turned back to her. Abbie was shocked to see the headless man, and she noticed a mark of a bow and an arrow was carved on the rider's hand. The meysterious rider then rode away into mists.''

All of a sudden, Abbie then turned back to see Corbin, and then, to her utter horror...

<p style="text-align:center;">'... she saw the beheaded corpse of Corbin.'



<p style="text-align:center;"> - Abbie: CORBIN!

''Abbie rushed to the beheaded Corbin and shivered in sheer fright. She then used her walkie talkie to contact one of the police officers that was on duty - Andy Brooks. Brooks was inside his police car when he heard Abbie's calling.'' ''Hearing this, Andy Brooks immediately turned back his car, but then he was forced to stop to avoid hitting mysetriois man walking on the street. The man was none other than Ichabod Crane. Andy observed the face of the man and somehow, he startled. Then, he immediately went out of his car and pointed his gun to the man.'' The man looked at Andy with a strange look. Ichabod then nodded and immediately did what the police officer had ordered him to do.
 * Abbie: [OFFICER DOWN! Oh, my God... OFFICER DOWN! FOX CREEKS STABLES! REPEAT, FOX CREEKS STABLES, OFFICER DOWN!]
 * Andy: TURN AROUND! PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD!
 * Andy: I SAID TURN AROUND, PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD!
 * Andy: ON YOUR KNEES!

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;">Ichabod obeyed and knelt as Andy walked closer to him and cuffed him.

Interrogation room
''After Corbin was killed, Abbie did not told her colleagues about the mysterious girl who made her to the stables. Later, Andy Brooks and Abbie Mills went into the interrogation room an hour after Ichabod was arrested, cuffed, and sitting behind the bars with utter confusion.'' Andy looked at Abbie with confusion in his eyes. Abbie nodded with confidence. Hearing the word "red coat", Ichabod immediately looked up with some surprise on his face. ''Hearing this, two police officers immediately went to notice this strange man who asked this question. Andy began to be nervous.'' Abbie turned to Ichabod as well, with curiousity. Ichabod lowered his head and mumbled in horror. ​Ichabod looked right into Abbie's eyes and spoke an utterly astonishing word... ''This time, it was Abbie's turn to feel startled and surprised. She observed the stranger right in front of her with a face full of shocking expressions...''
 * Abbie: It's not him.
 * Andy: Are you sure?
 * Andy: I know this isn't easy, Abbie, but please... take a closer look.
 * Abbie: Andy, I am sure. The man I saw was wearing some kind of old military uniform, like, um... red coat.
 * Abbie: He had something on his hand. I don't know, like a branding.
 * Ichabod: Did he carried his braodax?
 * Andy: What?
 * Ichabod: The mark on his hand... was it a bow?
 * Abbie: How did you know that?
 * Ichabod: Oh, no, no... No, no, it can't be...
 * Abbie: Hey... who is he? When's the last time you saw him?
 * Ichabod: When I cut off his head.

<p style="text-align:center;">-  Abbie: Who are you?

Somewhere under Atlantic Ocean (2036)
At this time, during the whole course of English Civil War, no one on land knows that a demonic plot was building right underneath the Atlantic Ocean.

''In an old facility made by iron, centred in a ancient city beneath the sea bottom, many demonic troops summoned by Michael Langdon with black magic during his stay in New Orleans, had been working to transfer many corpses into a machine. The machine grinded the corpses into dust and transproted them via large pipes connected to a enormous cocoon.''



''Inside it, it was Michael Langdon's "finest" work that took 6 years to built. It will even make Leohart pleased if it impressed him enough. Michael's "work" was a gigantic artificial demon made by dead human's flesh and bone dust, forming an enormous humanoid figure with octopus tenticles.''

At this time, a tall woman with hourglass figure, pale hair, greenish eyes, pale skin and a black had stood near a glass window, where she could observe the beast with great care.

''Behind her, it was the dead body of her loyal bodyguard. Two minutes ago, the woman mercilessly impaled him with her sword, to make an example since this man failed to wake her up on time just now. This woman was so heartless and cruel, that she relished her feelings of frightening her minions by making examples.''

''The woman had a Hellfire mark on her left hand, meaning that she is a loyalist of Moloch. Just then, demon with green skin had whispered beside her. She smiled in a twisted way after hearing this.'' ''The woman who called herself the leader of "Neo-Hellfire" then turned to the green demon with a dark smile. She then spoke to the demon her instructions before it left.''
 * ???: Sounds like Michael succeded in outwitting August Corbin AND the Red Haired Demon, while Carissa was defeated by a punch coming from "Firenza Junior", huh... Well played, Queen of England, but you can never anticipate us beneath ocean -  Neo-Hellfire, with me as its leader.
 * ???: Tell Lord Moloch, me - Lady Melancholia - is going on well with our restoring of power in future... and I remain 100% loyal as always.

''As the demon left, the woman named Melancholia quietly observed the cocoon and closed her eyes. She was happily imagining what will become if the beast was unleashed from its slumber state when matured. Even the KnightWalker Family will fall for this if it attacked land.''
 * D043ad4bd11373f0d7ddc2f9a50f4bfbfaed04f1.jpgMelancholia: Even the KnightWalkers will fall for this... If Lord Moloch survived to this era, he will be pleased with this - our masterpiece. Brilliant as he his, Micheal Langdon will make Satan like a tame saint in front of this beast. Even Leohart or Scathach will be surprised... if the latter is still alive... heh-heh-heh-heh...

''​Melancholia is Moloch's loyal evil fairy and have abilities to travel through time. She is just as sick, twisted and corrput like Lady Van Tassel and Eckidina, and she is very chaotic, but unlike the two other villainesses, Melancholia's evil obssession is mainly focused on the conquering of ocean as her first priority instead of land which is only her second priority.''

''After Michael's pact with Moloch, the 2013 Melancholia splited a part from her. This soul fragement of hers came to the 2036 Melancholia and possessed her future self who survived the Witnesses' Years of Tribulations, in order to avoid a time paradox.''

Having memories of both her past self and future self fused inside her head, this Melancholia told Michael about some lost buildings rested right underneath the Atlantic Ocean that once owned by a sub-faction of the old Tech of the End Cult which was led by the currently deceased black demon, Scathach.

''Then, Melancholia organized the remaining cultists of Moloch and other demonic worshippers to form an organization named "Neo-Hellfire", one of the reincarnation of Hellfire Club with Moloch as its deity. Since Moloch was defeated for good in the Old Timeline, why Melancholia named this organization is a question that only she could answer. The lost city, that this satanic organization chose to be their secret headquarters, once beloned to the lost Atlantis Empire, which sunk into the ocean a long time ago.''



''Within in the abandoned facility in the center, Melancholia helped Michael to build this gigantic sea monster, FOLIE, to hide bodies and many single evidence of many murders committed by Michael, allowing the latter to go free. FOLIE is the abbrivation for "Full of Lies, Insanity and Evil", and Michael gleefully called it his "Beast from the Sea".''

Smiling, Melancholia reckoned that the monster will be hatched once it was 100% matured, which will took only days to achieve as long as they fed it bodies to strengthen it, and once it was released from the facility, it will spread pollution in the ocean and infecting ocean creatures and later land creatures, making them mutated into demonic zombies.

''Also, there was tons of flesh inside its body that those flesh will formed into hundrds of zombies after another hundreds. Those zombies will be kept producing so that they will form a large army. They will be released once FOLIE attacked the land, and eventually... life signs of billions of people will be wiped, and the earth will be flooded into a glode full of polluted sea water.''



''However, in case that its creators died prematurelly before this horrible plan started, Melancholia set a "Plan D" which Michael was totally appreciated. If one of its two major creators - the  future  Melancholia (not the past one despite possessing her future self) or Michael Langdon - died before the monster was 100% matured, it will be hatched itself prematurely even if it was not at its mature state.''

''Looking at the sleeping beast, Melancholia smiled heartlessly as she poured a cup of sea water in a furnace nearby, putting off the flame. Then, she threw the cup before opened a map on her table, and then looked at the Four Oceans carefully. She can't stop giggling while thinking about the monster's havoc it may wreck...'' Thinking of billions of people will be drowned into the sea water and became fish foods, Melancholia smiled with sheer malice and eventually, she cackled heartlessly. <p style="text-align:center;"> '- Melancholia: ONCE THE NEW POPE IS ON HIS THRONE, FAITH WILL BE NO MORE! THE KINGDOM OF GOD WILL BE FILLED WITH TEARS, TEARS OF GOD HIMSELF! I AM TIRED OF BURNING AND BOMBING, AFTER ALL. EVEN NUCLEAR WEAPON IS OUT OF DATE! WE WILL USE THE OCEAN ITSELF AS OUR NEXT WEAPON! LET US DROWN PEOPLE! LET THE SEA WATER FLOW WITH DESPAIR! LET THE GREAT FLOOD RETURNS! HAHAHAHAHA!!!'
 * Melancholia: Since on this planet, the ocean is bigger than land, I reckon it will be much more... destructive... to send our power via sea water. I call it "hell-water", huh... Soon, people in this era will feel the power of Moloch's might. I need to calculate how much casualities it might caused. Once the monster hads landed from ocean, everyone will be one with a living hell with NO HOPE LEFT...

<p style="text-align:center;">Damage done to my life,

<p style="text-align:center;">One more soul to the call;

<p style="text-align:center;">For all...in silence, comes

<p style="text-align:center;">Two more souls to the call;

<p style="text-align:center;">For all...and in time...

<p style="text-align:center;">They fall...unknowing that

<p style="text-align:center;">Won't be all...and you know it.

<p style="text-align:center;">Sacrifice...wasted life...

<p style="text-align:center;">Destiny...redefined.

Addendum - Sonia's letter to Officer
Dear Officer Candy Apple,

''This is not for flattering or threatening, Officer. This is only a talk between a CIS staff and a character. Make it short, I just want to wish you a Happy Birthday.''

''The Corbin Files now is in its climax, thanks to you, and I think the situation is melting down. With one of our friend turns out to be our foe, I don't know if one day I can go back to Novosic Kingdom.''

''I'm been a lot of wedding and birthday party before - funeral, too. It is heartbreaking to see Corbin died. However, you know, there is something known as "Gone but not forgotten". Corbin will be remembered by us, even if I only met him once.''

''Now, as a member of Team Witness... for now, I will try my best to stop Michael before that hyporcrite ruins everything, so that I can return to my kingdom and start my new plan. Ah... you must be curious but this is so far a little secret. You would be glad to see me with my own plan in the future story, wouldn't you?''

''Also, please give my best wishes to CIS members. I read about The Cranes Arc during break, and I felt that Ichabod Crane is a wonderful man though he died so tragically, but he is lucky to be back, right? I think he and Abbie will be a pair of great working partners.''

Don't ask why, but now I will determine to make things right.

''Wait a minute, I think I am gonna leave here now. Owari is running to your cake and Takana is stopping her! I'M GONNA STOP HER BEFORE SHE RIP THAT CAKE APART!!!''

''Anyway, I'll be waiting you on the party - and the next episode! Happy 19th Birthday! :)''

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

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



Afterwords

 * From Officer: Since the Unknown Grand Grimoire Figure / Michael Langdon is unmasked and the English Civil War was seemly ended, which are two parts of the second MAJOR plot twist, this episode is the first episode without a ?6 arc, and it is the last episode with MAJOR story part from 2036 before the crossover's finale.
 * ​ This episode is made specifically for my 19th birthday, coming soon in December 16th, and therefore, my tiresome deadline is finally comes to an end.  Since I had this episode in mind already before I wrote this crossover, this episode proved to be faster to complete. The next episode will be constructed after I take some rest. I'm gonna be really busy these days, and so I had to delay the release of Death Arc Trailer.
 * 4afbfbedab64034f02208dcaaec379310b551d08.jpger, as a Chinese, I will never ever ignore what happened 79 years ago in Nanjing even if my birthday is near. On  December 13th, 1937, the bloodiest war crime ever occured in history had made Nanjing into a living Hell, but now, nearly 80 years had passed the most outrageous thing is that the right-wing politicians and their supporters in Japan tried to ignore it like it was made up. BUT THEY ARE DEAD WRONG. IT IS NOT A FAKE. IT IS BOTH TRUE AND REPULSIVE.
 * The world need to remember the day as a dark mark on humanity, and Japan needs to face its dark past officially like Germany does. This is the wish of many righteous pacifists in China, Japan, and the whole world. Like the Nazi crimes against Jews and Stalin's Great Purge, this massacre can never be ignored. This is not for hatred, but for a lesson. That's all.
 * Ichabod Crane is back after more than 200 years' death, but sadly August Corbin is gone... However, like Cavalo, Eugen and Maria, Corbin will not die in vain, and his legacy will still be useful in my future story.
 * This episode has no "In the Next Episode" section like the last episode. The next episode will be produced after some hiatus, with some new ways of telling; one of a minor characters will be the protagonist for two acts. It is currently a little secret.
 * Finally, I want to represent our Team Witness members and say, "Thank you, Corbin, for everything. Rest in peace."
