Akatsuki
|
Know your place.
|
|
I cannot fall in this place without finding answers to my questions.
|
|
Impressive... I hope that next time we meet, it will not be as enemies.
|
|
I have questions perhaps you can answer now that the match is over. Hmm...? Umm... Excuse me?
|
|
While I do not have the time to play around like this, I have to admit that was quite enjoyable.
|
|
The more you try to spread your strength out, the less effect it will have. And that is where your weakness lies.
|
|
I must be going now. I still have a veritable mountain of work left to do. I doubt interrogating you will do much to help matters.
|
|
Are you after this power of mine...? N-No, it doesn't seem that way. Frankly, I'm more interested in the strange power you seem to possess.
|
|
I feel that you and I have a lot in common. Hopefully we will see each other again.
|
|
I-If you'll allow me a few words... I find it highly inappropriate that women of your stature would dare dress in a such a scandalous manner.
|
|
It seems that both you and I are both dwellers in the shadows. To think we'd meet like this. Truly ironic, especially given this gloomy stage on which we appear.
|
|
H-How outrageous! Wh-What did you hope to achieve by creating monsters such as these...?!
|
|
|
|
Byakuya
|
Sister, I'm sorry!
|
|
Yes, please stay down like that... I wouldn't want my clothes to get too dirty.
|
|
Tsukuyomi: Byakuya, let's get going. There's no point in staying here any longer.
|
|
You're already trapped in my web. Or maybe a fish flopping around on a cutting board...?
|
|
Tsukuyomi: This was a complete and undeniable victory... I truly appreciate having you at my side.
|
|
Tsukuyomi: No matter what I have to cling onto... I cannot allow myself to be defeated. Not until I find her...
|
|
Tsukuyomi: It looked like that was a tough battle for you, Byakuya. I didn't expect anyone here to be a match for you.
|
|
Fighting during this "Night", you knew one of us would end up writhing on the ground. Thank goodness it wasn't me. Hahahaha.
|
|
A fight? Oh, please... This is nothing like that. This is mostly just a hunt. I need something to satisfy my hunger, after all.
|
|
You know, I really don't like fighting like this, but I have my orders. I just need you to stay there on the ground for a while.
|
|
You're so fragile... All I did was poke you with my claws a little. I wonder if this what cats feel like when they claw at things...
|
|
Was that really necessary, sis...? You actually put both of our lives in danger. I think even ancient gladiators had better odds than these.
|
|
Tsukuyomi: This might seem uncalled for, seeing as I don't have any powers, nor am I doing any of the fighting, but really...you're pathetically weak.
|
|
Tsukuyomi: I'll spare you... But I suggest you think about how you live your life. Later on, you can decide if what I did today was mercy... or punishment.
|
|
These eight claws of mine are like another set of arms and legs... I can hit you with them from anywhere. I'm not a primitive creature, such as yourself, that only has two of each.
|
|
Tsukuyomi: My name is Tsukuyomi, and this is my brother, Byakuya. He's kind of my sword and shield here. I mean, you should at least know the name of the one who is going to kill you.
|
|
Tsukuyomi: Manifestations are all relative. But this child is an exception. He's every manifestation's worse nightmare. His power isn't all that impressive... But still, don't be so hard on yourself.
|
|
Tsukuyomi: I will return the favor... Not that you've ever done a favor for me... But "he" was a dear friend of mine, after all.
|
|
I didn't really want to hurt you, but I really did have to intervene. That expression on your face, spouting gibberish about justice... It just pissed me off.
|
|
Tsukuyomi: I have no intention of crossing Licht Kreis... Unless, of course, you harmed her in any way... In which case I will see you and your organization burn.
|
|
|
|
Carmine
|
Moron... Look at what getting cocky gets you.
|
|
Damn, aren't you a sack of shit?! What a waste of time.
|
|
Right on. Guys like you make the Hollow Night worth it.
|
|
Man, you're so weak it's pathetic... I have zero pity for you.
|
|
Goddamn, you suck! Why even bother trying to fight me, loser?!
|
|
Get it now?! This is how you fight! No reason to sugarcoat it.
|
|
That was awesome... People who fight back are worth hunting down.
|
|
You little shit! Going to sleep already?!I was just getting started!
|
|
You thought this would be a fair fight? Yeah, not going to happen against me.
|
|
This is why I hate weaklings like you... How long are you going to sit there and cry?
|
|
God, this is way too much fun... I'll never get tired of making maggots like you scream.
|
|
Got to admit, this was pretty interesting. I enjoy watching weak-ass punks like you suffer.
|
|
Now do you understand how weak you are? The reality is that I'm stronger than you'll ever be.
|
|
You're so weak you make me want to puke. You're a waste of my time... Bring on someone stronger.
|
|
My reason for fighting? I don't have one... Except for the fact that just looking at you pisses me off.
|
|
Yeah, that's right... Bring your leader, your mom, I don't care... Just as long as they put up a fight!
|
|
Yeah, just keep dancing around like that. I'll just beat the crap out of you after you drop from exhaustion.
|
|
That look on your face... It's like you can't believe just how much you suck. That look was EXACLTY what I wanted to see.
|
|
You're so weak and powerless that it even makes ME sad. If you're going to curse anything, curse your pathetic abilities.
|
|
Don't worry, I don't discriminate... I hit men and women equally hard! Women getting a free pass actually pisses me off to no end!
|
|
Man, you're a sick puppy... What in the hell is wrong with you?!
|
|
|
|
Chaos
|
Now do you understand? Neither strength nor agility alone will win a battle.
|
|
I keep beating you down, yet you insist on getting back up... I cannot help but think that your behavior is utter nonsense.
|
|
We're recruiting people for Amnesia right now. You seem like you'd fit in well enough, so if you're interested, come talk to me later.
|
|
I never really thought my powers were all that strong... On the contrary, it amazes me that you let so much of your potential go to waste...
|
|
Why you would chose to fight me, given the circumstances, is beyond me. Wasn't it obvious who would win here? I mean, just based on appearances alone...
|
|
Whoa, that was close... Fights like that make me second-guess my faith in logic during battle... Maybe it wouldn't hurt to work on my physical condition...
|
|
Conjecture based on experience is prediction. Deduction based on prediction is... Expectation. These things in their ultimate form is foresight. I sense that you already know of these things.
|
|
I'm not one for battles with too many variables... Too many things to keep track of. For example, duels allow me to focus on a single foe, making things easier. Logic defeats everything, after all.
|
|
"I-I lost to some scrawny, glasses-wearing hipster...?!" I bet that's what you're thinking. It is, isn't it? Well, let's just say it was your strategy that cost you this match. Nothing more, nothing less.
|
|
The better we get to know each other, the easier finding the answers becomes. In other words, the more we fight, the further my advantage against you erodes.
|
|
You always charge into things head first... It makes my head spin...
|
|
Oh dear... You start fights with people as soon as you discover they are In-births? Seriously, for no other reason than that?
|
|
|
|
Gordeau
|
Sorry, just caught up in old memories... Just kind of lost control of myself... Kind of immature on my part.
|
|
Seems like you know a thing or two, but don't let it go to your head. I knew a ton of punks like you when I was growing up.
|
|
This scythe I carry around feeds on the souls of its victims... If you want to keep yours, I suggest you run like hell back home.
|
|
Hold up there... I think you should quit while you're behind. Otherwise, there's no knowing what I'll do. You shouldn't piss people off like this, you know?
|
|
Damn, talk about being a newbie... It was almost embarrassing fighting you, punk! It's way too early to harvest you, so get out of here. You heard me, scram!
|
|
You might have more power than I do, but you have no idea how to use it. And that's what makes you weak. It's the driver, and not the car, that wins the race.
|
|
It's a damn shame... If you didn't fold like that, you might've stood a chance. Then again, getting into your opponent's head is half the battle. You got that?
|
|
Just for the record, I've got to ask... You're not the red witch from Licht Kreis, are you? ...Never mind, forget I asked... There's no way she'd be THIS weak.
|
|
Whoa! What in the hell was that crap? Don't tell me that's all you got? I'm not going to tell you desire conquers all, but come on; you can do better than that right?
|
|
Seriously, what in the hell is wrong with you, "Bloody Chaos"?! It's not like you to try go and open forbidden doors. That, and I told you not to worry about me. Just go home already.
|
|
Damn it, trying to get yourself reborn, you self-proclaimed... witch. As a former comrade, let me give you some advice... Knock that shit off. You'll just make everyone cry...
|
|
Ah, about time I fought a real man. though it was painful to watch you lose. You might want to bulk up a bit more before I harvest you.
|
|
|
|
Hilda
|
Oopsy, did I go too far? Done so soon? Well, you're no fun...
|
|
Looks like you were having quite a bit of fun WITHOUT me... Don't make me crush you like a grape.
|
|
You're still alive? I suggest you scurry away and spread the legend of the infamous Demon Queen Hilda! AHAHAHAHA!
|
|
AHAHAHA! I can't get enough of watching bottom feeders like you struggle to stay alive! No stopping now; dance for me, puppet!
|
|
Even if the outcome is obvious, nothing feels better than victory... You can't imagine the pleasure I get from watching people writhe on the ground.
|
|
How does it feel to be forced to crawl in the dirt like that? People looking down on you, mocking you, and trampling on you... You must feel like a worm...
|
|
Your attitude is totally unacceptable. You're in the presence of Paradox, the leader of Amnesia. Do you honestly believe I could ever like one such as you? How do you expect to atone for your sins?
|
|
Aw, bedtime already? Perhaps I overestimated your abilities. But as I'm a nice person, I won't get angry at you for your bout of naughtiness. And Chaos, keep up the good work.
|
|
The "Harvester" who is known to take everything has fallen... Poor Gordeau the Greedy. Your pride was your downfall. However, I'd still welcome you back with open arms...
|
|
Aw, you fought REALLY well there, little Insulator boy. I'll let you keep your life for now, but if persist in opposing me, I'll have to take it away.
|
|
Now do you see the cosmic-level difference in our strength, little Night Blade Girl? A random bit of history with no worth... From now on, it's MY time!
|
|
Oh, my! I was not expecting such a fine young woman like you to show up. I love energetic ones like you; it makes tormenting you all that much more fun!
|
|
You should feel honored. After all, you get to be the sacrifice that will push me into being a Re-birth. I promise to not let my new-found powers go to waste.
|
|
|
|
Hyde
|
I'm going to put an end to this...twisted world.
|
|
I really don't enjoy living this lifestyle, you know...
|
|
Kind of a crap way to win. Need to at least finish with a bang, right?
|
|
Sorry, but I can't waste any more time on you... I'm in a hell of a hurry.
|
|
An ordinary high school student, huh...? What I wouldn't give to live a life like that.
|
|
Sorry... My body just kind of moves on its own. I don't really know how to control this power yet.
|
|
That's all you got? So much for looking intimidating... With your weak-ass powers, you won't be stopping anyone.
|
|
It was bad luck on your part, running into me like this. If you need to curse something, try cursing your fate...
|
|
Neither you nor I...will be able to return the normal world... That's the price for coming into the Hollow Night.
|
|
Damn... My right arm feels like it's going to explode. I can't control this power! Is this what it feels like to be an In-birth?
|
|
Linne, I can't let you go on. Just stay here and rest... I can't play at being weak forever. I'll be okay on my own.
|
|
I can tell you this much... The grudge you hold against me is misguided. Though I guess you're not in the mood to compromise...
|
|
I-I'm not going to ask what you're doing here, Harada, but I suggest you go home ASAP. Promise me.
|
|
|
|
Linne
|
Stop wallowing in self-pity. Time isn't exactly on your side here.
|
|
Not bad, but you were no match for me. Your skills are nowhere close to mine...
|
|
Princess of the Night Blade? Sorry, you're confusing me with someone else. Better luck next time...
|
|
You let your emotions get the best of you. Might want to work on that. Just a bit of friendly advice from an old lady.
|
|
What's the matter? Decided to show me some mercy after seeing how tiny I am? That compassion will get you killed some day.
|
|
What a flamboyant fighting style you have there... As a fellow wanderer of the Hollow Night, I suggest that you rein it in a little.
|
|
Try using your brain. You'll think of an answer in no time. Provided that you've fought on a thousand battlefields, like me, anyway...
|
|
I've faced far worse over the years... There was no way I was going to lose. But don't feel bad; it's more about experience than skill.
|
|
Can't bring yourself to hurt someone you know, huh? You're still way too soft.
|
|
Ah, to be young again. Watching you is almost embarrassing. I wonder if I ever humiliated myself like that... Most likely.
|
|
I will put an end to this story with my own two hands. There's no reason for a young 'un like you to continue with this charade.
|
|
Worried about me? I suggest that you hold nothing back, Hecatoncheir. In this place, not going all out is an insult.
|
|
|
|
Merkava
|
This body hungers... Might I sample a taste of your flesh?
|
|
It's enough that I've become this pitiful creature... Do not torment me further...
|
|
GRAAAAAAAAAAH! I cannot contain them any longer... The hungers and desires of this flesh!
|
|
Once domesticated, an animal cannot be killed... Do you hesitate to kill even this wretched Void...?
|
|
By defending myself from those who wish to harm me, I make even more enemies. The chain of enmity will bind me forever...
|
|
Ah, how truly interesting. I see that your body is hardly human, as well. I was bored of playing with mere mortals; I thank you for entertaining me.
|
|
Just as I expected from an In-birth... Your EXS is fascinating, but you are nothing more than a temporary Vessel. In that, you are no different than I.
|
|
You do not appear to be a Void hunter. Ah, just another In-birth seduced by the Hollow Night. Some boundaries are better left uncrossed... Like this one.
|
|
Why don't you call it quits? I do not enjoy senseless killings. And surely, you must appreciate the weight I must bear? Perhaps I should post a warning, to keep others away.
|
|
You've done well, using your wits to make it this far, despite your feeble body. But that is the limit of your Vessel. If you wish for true strength, cast away your humanity.
|
|
You appear to be a feral Void, acting purely from instinct. Now, learn your place... And how dare you try to consume me?!
|
|
I feel no guilt for the fact I must devour all I encounter... Child, exact your vengeance if you must.
|
|
While I cannot say for certain that we are the same... We were both created by humans... I cannot bring myself to finish you. However, I am curious to see how your body tastes.
|
|
|
|
Nanase
|
Give me three-- no, two years! Then I'll show you who's the woman here...!
|
|
STOP ALREADY! That's enough! Just admit you lost. I mean, aren't you an adult...?
|
|
Are you sure you can see me right now...? I mean, you had a LOT of trouble keeping up with me.
|
|
Now... Tell me everything you know. I'm going to corner you like a mouse... Just you wait, HYDE!
|
|
Ack! How dare you lay a finger on my soft and perfect skin! If I get a scar, it'll all be your fault!
|
|
Aww, you're so cute. But this is a dangerous place for children... You should go back to playing in a sandbox.
|
|
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. My all-time favorite quote. I based my fighting style on the thought.
|
|
A thousand victories like this one will not make me feel any better. That's right... Until I've exacted my revenge on Hyde.
|
|
I understand your pain... That man probably did this to you, too, didn't he...? Let's find him, and make him suffer... HYDE!
|
|
W-Well, you're not too bad... I guess I can admit that much. But don't get the wrong idea. I'm only after one guy... And that's Kido Hyde.
|
|
I never dreamed I'd be able to keep up with a pile of muscles like you... A woman's physique holds secrets and potential yet to be discovered, you know!
|
|
Oh, that'd never come close to touching me... Come on, now... However, if you swing that thing around a little faster, it might actually make a nice breeze.
|
|
How does it feel, to be totally manhandled by a little girl? But why should I expect anything more from someone who fights with both feet planted in the ground.
|
|
Sometimes it is the soft that endure long after the hard shatter. Do you understand? It's really important to feel the ebb and flow of battle, and use it to your advantage.
|
|
Stop right there, Hyde! You damn dirty criminal! You need to take responsibility for desecrating my body like you did!
|
|
D-Don't tell me that you... You actually have feelings for that Hyde criminal...?! N-Not that it really matters to me... Or anything.
|
|
|
|
Orie
|
I have sworn on the memory of my parents to exterminate all Voids. I will not yield to your powers!
|
|
Be thankful it was me who found you tonight. "Void Hunting... There is nothing I cannot do as long as Wagner is my opponent!
|
|
To the evil In-births that roam the Hollow Night, your sins will be forgiven with your deaths! I will stay by your side until the end.
|
|
This sword of mine... It has the power to see through to the evil in one's heart. If you are true and pure, its sting will not harm you.
|
|
Can you stand? I held back my hand, so none of your wounds should be fatal. I have questions only you can answer and I expect you to do so.
|
|
Truly despicable; using your powers solely for your self-interests... In the name of Licht Kreis, I order you to leave this area at once! If you value your life, then go!
|
|
This fight is already over... There is no reason to continue. If you still have the strength to stand, then I suggest you drop your weapon and come with me. I promise not to harm you.
|
|
Do you really wish to continue? I have a mission to complete this "Night". While policing In-births is part of my duty, I do not wish to spill any more blood. We should just go our separate ways.
|
|
I will not claim that our view of justice is the only one... The fact we must resort to such brutal methods in order to keep the peace is almost laughable. But there are issues that cannot be resolved with words, especially in this "Night". Justice is dictated by the winner.
|
|
K-Kido! I-I'm so sorry...! I cannot explain my reasons now, but I promise to tell you everything the next time I see you!
|
|
Begone! I will not suffer a Void speaking with a human tongue, Merkava. The day I have proof you killed my parents, I will end your life by my own hands. Until that day, do not fall to another.
|
|
|
|
Seth
|
Leave... And never appear before me again.
|
|
You fight like a complete amateur. You bore me.
|
|
"Assassin." The perfect title for one such as me, who is doomed to do all the dirty work.
|
|
Pathetic... So, you were just another incompetent fool who has no idea how to wield power...?
|
|
Do not take your loss too hard... There is no skill that will allow you to escape the wrath of my blade.
|
|
I warned you about this... It doesn't look like you'll be moving much. Did you think I was joking with you?
|
|
We aren't all that different, you and I... We're cut from the same cloth. And I may well be the next to fall...
|
|
Is swinging that giant weapon around the only thing you know how to do around? A weapon serves no purpose unless you can actually hit something with it.
|
|
Though I may fall, this body belongs to the Hollow Night... Protecting the order of this place is my destiny. I cannot let a manifestation who only just learned to use EXS best me.
|
|
Blink and it goes dark... Chase, and you cannot find... And you follow a shadow, its owner gone. How does it feel to lose to an opponent far superior to you...? Humiliating...? Torturous...?
|
|
Disappointing... The person who is supposed to be helping the Princess of the Night Blade is so pathetically weak. Insulator... I will let you keep your life... Please, take care of Linne.
|
|
Princess... You've betrayed us. I need you to come with me. To put an end...to everything.
|
|
|
|
Sion Eltnam Atlasia
|
I can't stay a mewling newbie forever... The next time we meet, I will not back down from your challenge.
|
|
Not bad... But still not more than ordinary...at best. I'm talking about the extent of your strength, by the way.
|
|
Probably the worst thing about the whole deal for you was that there was no way you could account for my existence.
|
|
This battle is over... Though considering how stupid simple it was to win, it's hardly worth considering it as much.
|
|
In-birth... Maybe the concept applies to me as I am now. I mean, it's obvious that the stage I perform on now is naught more than a fallacy.
|
|
Even though I don't have home field advantage here, that was way too close for comfort. To think I'd have to pull out all the stops against a total scrub...
|
|
Now, this is a surprise... To think I'd run into a fellow veteran of the industry wars here. Nothing like disorder to shoot one's plans to hell. Seriously, color me shocked.
|
|
You're way too soft... You won't last long in this industry, kid... You need to take a long hard look at yourself... I mean, there has to be a reason why you're an In-birth, right?
|
|
Struggling without a reason serves no purpose. Your actions need to be calm and collected. If you want to survive, rookie, you'd damn well better learn how to control your emotions!
|
|
Man, dealing with an opponent as weak as you... Sure doesn't take any planning or even rational thought. Learn your lesson, rookie? You've got nothing on my ten years in the industry!
|
|
Was the outcome fated through the ages? The old me would have denied such a thing, but having survived this long, I know the truth. Leaving things to fate is the absolute last resort.
|
|
...Hmph. I thought you were a rookie, but you're more of a "Monkie". You have the brawn, and little else. You obviously have a one-track mind, making fighting you hardly worth the effort.
|
|
Now do you understand how important your role in all of this is? As the main character, the curtain has just risen on your performance. Now, go forth and display your acting genius!
|
|
|
|
Vatista
|
...
|
|
Mission complete. Be aware that resistance was futile from the start.
|
|
Consider yourself warned... I hope you understand now, and will never abuse these manifestations again.
|
|
A human with manifestations as strong as a Void... You have been identified as a major risk factor. I will not kill you, but I must destroy your Vessel.
|
|
That was unexpected... Despite being human, you've inflicted a great deal of damage to my "Red Wings" shield. I must re-assess the In-births of this age.
|
|
The power you refer to as EXS is not as easy to wield as you might think. Using it carries great risk and comes at a great cost. It is too much for humans to bear.
|
|
Humans have the remarkable ability to increase their power through emotional responses. The randomness of your kind is a wonder, and a curse. I cannot comprehend it.
|
|
To use your words, "please do not feel bad about this." As an Autonomic Nerve, I cannot understand having feelings about an opponent... Or holding a grudge against them.
|
|
I'm an Autonomic Nerve. Regulation of manifestations is my objective, and raison d'etre. No matter how good you may be, a mere In-birth does not stand a chance against me.
|
|
Activation diagnostics, complete. Minimal damage incurred. This was an adequate test of my abilities. If you are representative of In-births of this age, I have nothing to worry about.
|
|
You are a fool to seek to become a Re-birth. I am programmed to destroy ones such as you. I will not only pierce your Vessel, but your heart as well. Go now to the "Eternity" you sought.
|
|
An evolution...? No, you are one who was consumed by the "Night". A mix of manifestation and creation... You are what my master hoped to conceal. Now, perish.
|
|
|
|
Waldstein
|
What a cheap trick, child... But your tricks are no match for my might!
|
|
I will use my claws to rip apart anything in my path. Nothing can stand against them.
|
|
You're lighter than I expected. I thought I was going to throw you across the country...
|
|
I can tell you've trained hard... You are a worthy opponent. If it weren't for this "Night", we would've never met.
|
|
To go beyond this point, you must discard your humanity and harden your heart. To pass here, you must slay the demon before you.
|
|
Though I don't know the reason why you fight, I can sense your determination. You'll eventually defeat me, despite your noodly arms.
|
|
You scurry around like an insect, but you were doomed the moment you faced me. Your body learned that lesson, even if your mind didn't.
|
|
I'm going to enjoy this. Warriors of your caliber are rare. Despite its chaos, it is times like this that I appreciate the Hollow Night.
|
|
I feel I should compliment you for fighting so well, despite being so tiny. But in battle, strength is everything. You need to train harder.
|
|
Princess of the Night Blade... No, Linne... On the battlefield you are still a child. I told you that you needed to train your body. What's with that look? This is why you'll never be strong.
|
|
|
|
Yuzuriha
|
Once again, I've cut down something worthless... Hee hee hee, just kidding...
|
|
Hm? Engaging...? Of course, I engage enemies all the time. What're you trying to say?! Hahaha!
|
|
You did quite well, considering I was your opponent... I think you can be proud of the results.
|
|
Did you see my beloved Ayame in action? Her speed! Her reach! Her power! No one can avoid her strikes!
|
|
Masters of my style can cut through steel... No, really! You should feel lucky you were up against a newbie like me.
|
|
Whoa, whoa... People used to talk about razor-thin margins back in the day... If I hesitated at all, I would've been a goner.
|
|
Damn it... It's fine to kick up a ruckus and all, just don't do it while I'm around. If you have to pick fights, please do it somewhere else, okay?

One thing is certain... Victory goes to the one who is the most desperate to get it. If you aren't in love with life, you have zero chances of winning.

So, what did you think...? The feel of my beloved sword, Ayame? She's killed a bunch of Voids over the years. Sleep on her, and she'll cut you to ribbons.

Man, what was with all of those openings? It was like you WANTED me to cut you into pieces. Never pass up an opening to strike, and then doso quickly. The basics of fighting.

Aw, what a shame! It's like you couldn't focus on the fight... You really suck when put on the stage, don't you? Well, it was an entertaining fight... You saved me from boredom.
|
|
Wow, you really caused a hell of a mess here, didn't you...? But you messed with the wrong person this time. I am the guardian of this place, after all! With Ayame, I can't lose!

You sure have a lot of power, a shame you don't know how to use it. You're like a cute little chick, just learning how to fly. Can't wait to see you in a few years.
