Lyrics
Why?

Who me?

Why?

Feet don’t fail me now

Take me to the finish line

Oh my heart it breaks every step that I take

But I’m hoping at the gates,

They’ll tell me that you’re mine

Walking through the city streets

Is it by mistake or design?

I feel so alone on the Friday nights

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

It's like I told you honey

Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry

Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough

I don’t know why

Keep making me laugh, let’s go get high

The road is long, we carry on

Try to have fun in the meantime

Come and take a walk on the wild side

Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain

You like your girls insane

Choose your last words

This is the last time

'Cause you and I, we were born to die

Lost but now I am found

I can see but once I was blind

I was so confused as a little child

Tried to take what I could get

Scared that I couldn't find

All the answers honey

Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry

Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough

I don’t know why

Keep making me laugh

Let's go get high

The road is long, we carry on

Try to have fun in the meantime

Come and take a walk on the wild side

Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain

You like your girls insane

Choose your last words,

This is the last time

'Cause you and I

We were born to die [3x]

Come and take a walk on the wild side

Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain

You like your girls insane

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

Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough

I don’t know why

Keep making me laugh

Let's go get high

The road is long, we carry on

Try to have fun in the meantime

Come and take a walk on the wild side

Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain

You like your girls insane...

Choose your last words,

This is the last time

'Cause you and I

We were born to die

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

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

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

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

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


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



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



"......"

Nowadays
''Bitting her lips till they started to bleed, Lidvia had to push the words right out of her own lips in guilt. She was feeling bad now, but she had to tell the whole thing to Abel.''
 * Lidvia: Abel... we need to get out of here. Nio Hashiri found out that we're here, and she sent me a message. She wants me to turn you in.
 * Lidvia: We need to get out of this place before our enemies spotted us. If Nio found out that I turned against Michael Langdon, we're both screwed.







Nowadays






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

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

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

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

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

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

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





















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



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



''Misha clenched her fist and attacked Celestia, but Celestia raised her card and slashed Celestia's face before she leaped towards the sky, drawing out a long sword and fueled it with red energy. She then ''
 * Celestia: It's so apparent that you guys just underestimated me, people from the Russian Orthodox Church. Now, since there're these old magicians from the Witch Cult arrived, now I can make this up to eleven!







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

Act 1 - Nio's Conspiracy
<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nowadays


Nio was enraged as Esther was telling all set of plans to Neo Inquisition, risking herself to become a traitor for Langdon Orphans. Before Nio could react, Tres leaped towards Nio and pointed his gun at her.
 * Nio: ESTHER!!!

Nio glared at Tres and could do nothing but seeing Esther speaking out everything with no stop. ''Hearing this, people looked at each other with shock and eventually, panic. Poison Ivy inside the crowd suddenly shouted out.'' ''Ivy's words make Esther widened her eyes in shock. Then, she heard Duchess Asran standing not far away.'' ''Esther suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked around, as all she heard was "Father Nightroad went to London" and so on. Hearing their disccussion, Esther immediately turned back to Nio and narrowed her gaze, questioning Nio in a darker and deeper voice.'' Nio nodded her head with a devious grin.
 * Esther: I can see Cardinal Sforza, Carl and Lord Vaclav are absent, as well as Abel. In fact, Cardinal Sforza shall be send to London for further plans in the Church, and giving herself in actually is what Mother Superior wants! As far as I know from Nio, Carl is also send to London and would become Cain Nightroad's puppet! Cain is about to make the demon inside Carl, particularly its callous and cold side, to take over Carl by removing his emotions! The setting of Firenza Blood rampage is still in London! As for Lord Vaclav, I guess Fiamma of the Right has already send people to capture him. His spying move is discovered. If you want to keep all of them safe, take my advice and head to London right now!
 * Poison Ivy: Oh, my! Lord Vaclav just left to look for Abel in Eastern Europe!
 * Asran: And Abel went to look for Sforza and went to Europe as well...
 * Esther: You lied to me. You say that you'll take me to Arzonia Family's base, in order to make Abel return back to me without killing him... You know Abel's not here?

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

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

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

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

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

''The chadelier slammed straight to the ground and slammed at the centre of the hall, but Nio then rushed away and ran in an inhuman speed, plus acrobatic skills. Esther fired her shots all the way to Nio, but it not only missed but also hit the wrong targets. Then, several people - both guards and gangsters - fell on the ground with bleeding wound.''

''All of a sudden, the entire hall was plunged into a debarcle as people were either escaping or trying to subdue both Nio and Esther, but they failed. Nio and Esther then started to play chasing game, but Nio used tricks to trick Esther into killing those she never wanted to kill.'' ''Esther was even more enraged and her face started to get darkened. Nio's attitude made her made, and that olny added fuel to her rage and blood lust.''
 * Nio: Ha, you can't hit me! You might not know this, but I've already accept the body recontruction and becomes a lesser Meta-Human after all! Yes, yes, Esther! Be a monster! Manslaughter is good for you!



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

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

''A large hole was formed and several tentacles was spreading itself towards the ground. It was the tentacles from the morgue, where the doppelganger of Celestia started to mutate.''
 * Tres: SISTER NOELLE! GET THE WATER OF LIFE AND USE IT ON ESTHER! AT LEAST, WE CAN CALM HER DOWN WITH IT!!!

''As the debarcle raging on because of Celestia and Nio's manipulation, the whole Russian Resistance HQ now faced its final hours and turned more and more dangerous. Rushing herself to the cave with the Water of Life, Noelle was holding an empty steel bottle inside her hand.'' Ever since the base of Russian Resistance changed from Pripyat to Kiev, the cave was also teleported to the place thanks to the efforts of Sister Vasilisa, who tragically died at the hands of Terra of the Left, who was now condemned by the entire Catholic Rebels and their allies for his crime.

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 * Fiamma: Fiamma of the Right presides as judge, jury... and executioner!

Act 3 - Scotland Yard
<p style="text-align:center;"> 2 minutes later  <p style="text-align:center;"> Scotland Yard 

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

Real World
''Maria was shocked to find Matt's bounty poster, as Matt was already being captured by Michael's forces and sent to the Star of Bethlehem. However, soon she realized that this was particularly a ruse set by Melancholia in order to tempt people into a target they'll never captured on the ground.'' ''All kind of people trapped inside the city watched the video recorded by Melancholia, and depends on their different identity, their expressions and words of reaction were different as well. Most of the citizens were shocked, but the criminals started to cackle out of greed and excitement.'' Magilou looked around in confusion and widened her gaze, seeing the citizens and other people were shocked and/or tempted by those bounty poster. Maria immediately turned to see Carl in a face of shock, trembled as he spoke the words in a cold and callous face like an uncaring and wholly loveless demon king. Maria suddenly widened her eyes as soon as she herad Carl's words.

 * Maria: W-what's about to come?

''Maria suddenly felt a strain inside her throat. Carl was speaking in a firm tone, and she believed he was telling the truth. She didn't know if the Beast from the Sea is literally a sea monster or something else, but definitely she seemed no good.'' ''Maria now had no certainty which was worse - to face Carl when he went into a mindless and wrathful rampage, or to face Carl when he acted such cold and callous. Melancholia made a pause and smiled in a dark manner, as if she had saw Carl accepting the idea that humans are evil.'' Before Maria could explain, her voice was interrupted by Melancholia, unfortunately
 * Evil Carl: I once was saddened and despaired as soon as I heard from that Fiamma of the Right that I was betrayed by my own comrades-in-arms, but now I don't care anymore. I blame it on the faulty on humans. You're a human, I'm a human, and they're also human beings. What is the difference between us and them?

Soul of Vykos' Message


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



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



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



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

My grandchildren are still on this world, hiding among humanity, getting ready to strike... and you'll never know who are they. If we'd like, we can fight you under sunshine, even if it means to end both of our respective factions! ''



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