>Still too naive, am I? I'm sorry, Sister.
Happens to me too, no matter... Let's deal with these uninvited guests.
No less than 30 humanoid Constructs stand before the two, with even more bionic machines behind. Alpha scans the room before settling her gaze on the female in the center.
Luna, let the amassed Corrupted go elsewhere. They won't be of use here.
(Nods)
Unfazed, aren't you... You must be Alpha.
And you must be the Forest Guards. I don't remember you being such partygoers.
Why here? Why the Gray Ravens?
Alpha and Diana rest their hands on their weapons at the same time, readying for a fight to break out.
And what of you? You came out of nowhere and stripped us of our everyday lives. What are you up to now?!
I see. You hold a grudge. It's about Rosetta...
Hearing Alpha utter that name, Diana catapults her javelin. Alpha deflects the murderous projectile with the sheath of her sword.
You have no right to mention her... Forest Guards! Spears up!
Roger!
There's no avoiding battle, is it? Do you not feel pathetic to be fighting for humans who have once betrayed you?
You are the lamentable ones. You Ascendants borrow the power of the Punishing Virus to destroy what you desire, and crush everyone's hopes.
And what do you gain from that?!
I don't know what history that city behind me bears, but you are the ones who left it in tatters, aren't you?
We—humanity—finally found a chance to understand each other again, but you lot keep standing in our way...
So you believe in the tall tale that Babylonia wove. You believe in reconnecting the world.
And that's why we hurried here.
To make the world one again.
Control your mechs and target the figure behind Alpha!
Oh... Me?
