2xxx, country unknown ,continent unknown, world unknown, the C.E.L.L :

"are you sure about this ma'am? " A male voice asked hesitantly.

" Nothing is certain in this life guardsman" replied a redheaded woman.

" But ma'am the knowledge she has can't fall to our enemies hands ! " pleaded the guardsman.

" I find the lack of your faith disturbing " said the sword woman smirking slightly.

" I I di didn't mean any disrespect to you & Justice ma'am " stuttered the guardsman nervously.

The woman let out a chuckle, while shaking her head.

" Relax I was just joking " the smiling woman said.

" But rest assured I will keep a keen eye on her"

The C.E.L.L, XX floor, XX holding cell

" A visitor? How curious, and the Scarlet Queen herself of all people?, I wonder what reason someone as important as you, would want with an insignificant girl like me○》" a woman with glowing yellow eyes.

" Why, to give you a chance, of course " replied the Scarlet Queen confidentiality.

" A chance?, to do what?, for who? " shot back the prisoner with a raised eyebrow.

" For? Me, What? Protect the innocent, and the chance ? Complete independence with a hefty sum at the end of your 15 years of service " answered BloodFlame .

" Well, better than a cell I suppose, sure, why not? " said the yellow eyed woman with a shrug.

unknown planet, destroyed city

Vistario :


Amidst the desolate soil.

We heard the repeating cries of a fragment of metal.

So true to Nerissa's orders;

I take my company's reins, onto the site we settle.

And as we branch out and explore the wreckage;

We uncover a terminal's long-lost message, a visage of the past and of a beautiful city
So what has occurred here, what are we missing?

There is something wrong here, there is something hidden, with every second growing closer, I feel it near me!



My mind shudders, why does my heart race?

A psychic scream, like a crushing weight.

Resounding in every corner of the world:
"The Ancient awaits!"

Enwrapped in grief and beset by pain,it bides its time, all it does is wait.

We shoulder the hardship now and we endure
And to its source, we'll trace .

The sight before my eyes is stark.

An Automaton here, bearing Justice mark.

Unexpectedly, it interjects with pointed thoughts;

Awake once more, energy arcs.

Across its words now, demanding to know

Are we standing here gathered as friend or foe?

Its shattered form yet still poses a threat to us all, it shall not be deceived, nor ignored .

I speak in half-truths to not invite alarm .


Cecilia :


I see through your words, and I am not disarmed.

We had learned from Her to hold to truth with every breath .



Vistario :


The wrong word here may mean death .


Cecilia :


Even your words may be twisted and turned into weapons .


Vistario :


There is danger here, with every phrase now it beckons.

I would know the name of she who has me in her sights .


Cecilia :


I am she who remembers, the Ancient of Rites!


Vistario :


All at once, the pieces come together in my mind, this place was Rosaria III!

And we are here upon its corpse, on the grave that was left behind!


Cecilia :


Would you convince yourself I am a remnant seeking saving?

This was not a cry for help!

This was a lure I laid to invite something in need of slaying .


Shiori :


Was this trap set for me, old one of mine?
You look terrible - a disgrace, even .


Cecilia :


At last, Shiori, you have come to me, abomination .


Shiori :


Words uttered by a shattered pile of metal, rust and stagnation?

You've had millennia to think of what to tell me, you've my attention .


Cecilia :


I need not glory nor for words to speak.

When I have held, A Virus Bomb! (Shiori : No!)


Vistario :


Reaching out, my Raptorae uses his mind to hold the pace, to silence time.

I channel him all of the strength I have, his power desperately relying on mine.

And from my peripheral sight, I can no longer see that frail shell, devoid of its might, but rather a righteous being of defiance, who is not without the will to fight!

I watch the Automaton lash out in wrath.

Her blows deflected away from their path.

Despite the years she has endured.

It's clear that she will live and she will die by the sword .

Shiori then returned a strike, her sword slitting through bravado and machine alike.

Her face a mix of contempt and glee,
The eyes of one who can feed off misery!


Cecilia :


You can never be forgiven for the things that you've done.

And so it falls to my hands to end the prodigal daughter.


Shiori :


You cannot imagine the beautiful bounty of unrestricted Knowledge !


Cecilia :


Those things I'd never even wish to know!


Shiori :


There is still your potential that shines through, Imagine the unfulfilled glories we'd see to .


Cecilia :


That you still think I seek any glory, betrays the true blindness that has overcome you .

I recall the virtues I stood for.

I recall the struggles and the things that we have done!

I will not be deterred from my vengeance.

I remember the lessons passed on to the Sisters!

I am one of Justice.

I am Cecilia and I am the Ancient of Rites!

So I reject you for now and for always!

To strike you down I have waited for a million nights .


Vistario :


Inspired by the things I've heard;

I raise my voice and shout clearly and out of turn:

Cecilia deserves better than you, oh Archiver
Cecilia deserves better than all of us!

With but a single shot, the Raptorae is relieved of duty and released of his task.

I feel the virus rend me apart, with my honour intact.

As I'm enveloped by the encroaching flash.


Shiori :


Although this body of mine's still intact:

A part of my pride, I fear, will never come back .
