"but we're not foolish enough to prey on you." "We have a way to soothe our thirsts without having to bite Terrans." "Though it is somewhat of a hassle..." "Why did you destroy the church?" "!" "You said yourself that its existence is needed to control the humans!" "after all." "Murderer..." "You'll pay..." "Murderer!" "Sister." "But what you did was wholly futile;" "did you honestly think Terrans could beat a Methuselah?" "This is... revenge!" "Then you'll understand what I'm about to do." "I'm going to kill people for the exact same reason." "For revenge?" "Maria." "Maria adored this city's people..." "She would even go into the city on bright moonlit nights like tonight to pass out candy and medicine. but she never ceased her almsgiving to the Terrans. and citizens died one after the other." "went into town to distribute medicine never to came back." "She was murdered?" "That's right!" "By this city's scum!" "Take the gun." "Exact your revenge." "of course." "I won't let you kill anyone!" "Killing isn't the answer!" "You won't save a single person that way!" "Father..." "What rubbish." "So you can use the star?" "So you're not a regular priest after all..." "Vampire!" "Sebastian." "Right here." "I offer to my wife." "I've lived my life for this day!" "The Marquis of Hungaria's actions against the church are more than sufficient reason for us to intervene." "Caterina?" "!" "Your Holiness!" "Please give your decision!" "We must dispatch a fleet at once and free the people of Istvan from the marquis' tyrannical rule!" "Yeah..." "That would be best for everyone..." "Would it... turn into a war?" "Your Holiness." "that must be avoided at all costs." "Yes!" "This dispatch is meant to avoid an even greater war!" "You look much more human in that than in a blood-covered habit." "What is this "star"?" "A legacy from my ancestors and my wife..." "the "Star of Sorrow"." "Star of Sorrow?" "you see." "Our ancestors set up a power relay satellite to enrich this poor city." "It receives microwave energy from a solar power plant on the moon and then transmits it down to Earth." "it would have revived the city." "It was for the city?" "Yes." "Maria prayed this city would again be called the Pearl of the Danube." "But the Vatican suspected us of plotting mass genocide instead!" "They used the church to agitate the populace into murdering my wife!" "I will have revenge!" "Not on just this city's humans!" "On all Terrans... and the Vatican!" "I'm going to avenge my wife's murder using the legacy that she and my ancestors left behind!" "No..." "You mustn't kill any more..." "Neither of you..." "Father..." "Revenge... doesn't solve anything..." "What nonsense." "Who would ever want revenge to solve something?" "Just sit there and enjoy the show by which I mean the Vatican's collapse!" "If I don't stop the star..." "Rome will fall!" "huh..." "Vatican!" "I'm going to torture you nice and slow!" "just as Maria suffered!" "I'll start with Albion!" "Stop!" "Why?" "!" "Why are you killing so many people?" "!" "Stay out of my way!" "Was killing townspeople and the bishop not enough for you?" "Why do you want to keep killing?" "!" "To live." "Sister Esther." "after all." "in which only victory and defeat will remain." "The word "coexistence" is nothing more than a fool's delusion!" "it's revenge against the Vatican I want." "For my wife..." "What the?" "!" "W-what?" "!" "Why is the eastern district ablaze?" "!" "What's going on?" "!" "I didn't tell it to aim for Rome and the Empire!" "What's wrong with this program?" "!" "Your Lordship." "Dietrich?" "!" "My extra little program activates with the initial shot." "No one can stop the Star of Sorrow now." "It will systematically envelop the world in flames..." "Precisely as planned." "Your Lordship." "too." "So the two revenge-bent fools are here together." "You were both so easy to use." "All I had to do to trick you was say I wanted to help you get revenge." "Esther." "Dietrich?" "!" "What the hell are you scheming?" "! sophisticated goal." "Captain?" "!" "Captain!" "I know!" "Tres-kun?" "!" "The "star" activated 760 seconds ago." "The 8th Brigade was annihilated 433 seconds ago." "They're all yours!" "Positive." "You're completely surrounded!" "Drop your weapons and surrender!" "Activating resident combat program in genocide mode." "Combat open." "Your Lordship." "after all..." "Now I see!" "You plan to use the Star of Sorrow to plunge the Empire and the Vatican into another war!" "Wonderful!" "Absolutely correct!" "Who are you?" "!" "have you ever heard of the Rosen Kreuz Orden?" "Rosen Kreuz?" "never mind." "They do say that ignorance is bliss." "Esther." "I absolutely adore you." "You make up excuses justifying every life you take even though all you're doing is murder." "You're so adorable." "I just love you!" "You're pathetic!" "I never wanted war!" "No?" "I'll tell you the magic words." "we shall renew the world." "The self-destruct code." "Input it and the Star of Sorrow will explode." "Like I can really believe you!" "How regrettable." "And here I wanted to help you... if you think I'm lying." "of course." "bye!" "Stop!" "You are not allowed to touch this!" "The Star of Sorrow is my wife's legacy!" "My hope!" "I won't allow anyone to destroy it!" "Marquis of Hungaria!" "You've been tricked!" "You've been used!" "Don't you care what happens now?" "!" "There still has to be a way to regain control." "There's no time!" "let me destroy the star!" "I really should have killed you when I had the chance..." "I can't let anyone who knows the destruct code live..." "Esther-san!" "Father!" "Father!" "D-damn you..." "W-what?" "!" "Where did that strength come from?" "!" "stopped by a Terran?" "!" "Impossible!" "Esther-san!" "Please take care of the star!" "R-right!" "What the hell are you?" "!" "Marquis of Hungaria..." "I hereby place you under arrest for murder and civil disorder." "I advise that you surrender at once." "Never!" "I will never bow down to the likes of the Vatican!" "W-what the?" "!" "Why do you not kill me?" "My job is to stop the star..." "not to take people's lives." "No way!" "It isn't stopping!" "He said they were the magic words!" "we shall renew the world." "Father?" "Esther-san!" "Where did you get this from?" "!" "Dietrich told it to me!" "He said these words would stop the star!" "I..." "Quiet." "Control program." "system administrator mode." "Voice input activated." "Search for all available commands that can shut down the system." "One match found." "Self-destruct code based on Safeguard Measure 3090." "Please note that this requires Special A Level clearance or higher." "Please enter clearance." "Commander Abel Nightroad. UNASF 948R MOC 66602ak." "Password confirmed." "This system will now self-destruct as per Safeguard Measure 3090." "What happened?" "!" "The star is no more..." "Why?" "!" "I refuse to be sent to Rome and be killed by the Inquisitors..." "Sister Esther..." "I'm sorry..." "I took someone dear to you..." "You have the right to revenge..." "It's only right." "And..." "it is my duty to accept it..." "My revenge was just." "But..." "I did also take someone dear to you..." "Shoot me..." "This is your last chance... either..." "I..." "Where did I go wrong?" "Why did I..." "I only wanted to see you happy..." "Maria..." "How did things turn out this way?" "my darling... please give this spirit peace..." "May he cross paths with his beloved and be shown thy mercy..." "Amen..." "Bishop..." "I'm going to Rome." "I have a dream. without hatred for each other." "but I'm sure I can do something." "that's the most I can do for all the people who died..." "I know this will not remain forever it's beautiful and your warm smile" "They're my treasure" "It's hard to forget" "I wish there was a solution" "Don't spend your time in confusion" "I'll turn back now and spread" "My broken wings... still strong enough to cross the ocean with" "My broken wings... how far should I go drifting in the wind" "Higher and higher in the light (My broken wings)" "Still strong enough to cross the ocean with" "My broken wings... how far should I go drifting in the wind just keep on flying" "(What's falling from the sky is not rain... )" "Today and Tomorrow" "Let thine eyes be not diverted."
