[CETUS’ CRY]

[STOMPING SOUNDS]

Orochi: ...That bastard…

Orochi: Cetus killed them… in cold blood...

Orochi: Someday… Someday, we’ll avenge th―

[CETUS’ CRY]

Dolly: H-Hey, Orochi…?

Orochi: ...Oh! Sorry.

Orochi: ...Deep down, I know that someone like me isn’t capable of fighting that thing.

Abel: Orochi…

Orochi: Haha… Pathetic, isn’t it?

Orochi: ...I’ll… I’ll never forgive Cetus. But at the same time, I… I can’t…

[CETUS’ CRY]

Orochi: Ghhh!

Orochi: That bastard...!

Niko: ...Hey, Orochi. Shut the fuck up…

Orochi: ! Niko!? Ah, sorry! Did I wake you up?

Niko: If you feel that bad about it, then stop screaming. You’ll attract those jackasses, you know?

Orochi: Ah, yeah… right… Sorry.

Niko: Jeesh, you wouldn’t think you’d be the one always telling me to calm the fuck down.

Niko: ...Really though, it’s scarier when Orochi gets pissed.

Orochi: H-Hey, Niko…!

Abel: ...Let’s beat it.

Orochi: ? ...Huh?

Abel: Together, we can beat Cetus! So let’s!!

Dolly: Ahh…~ There he goes again…

Evan: I was kinda expecting it, really~

Abel: C’mon! You’ve been feelin’ like this for so long… It’s just sad!!

Abel: You guys already had a strategy to fight it, right? So, if we work together…

Abel: ...then you could defeat Cetus this time!!

Orochi: Abel… you…

Niko: ...Hey. Keep your comments to yourself. Are you fucking calling our way of life "sad"?

Niko: Keep your fucking pity to yourselves! You think we’ll beg you to come save our asses, or something!?

Abel: No! We’re not pityin’ you!

Niko: Wait, what?

Abel: You’re not alone here! We’re here…! Setsu is here!

Abel: That ain’t just a coincidence, right!? There’s gotta be a reason for us to be here!

Abel: You think so too, right, Setsu!?

> (Nod enthusiastically.)

Niko: ...You guys are fucking stupid, you know that?

Abel: H-Huh!? W-What are ya talkin’ about!?

Orochi: Heheheh...

Niko: Jeesh… you can’t win against an idiot, can you. It’s just… are you lot really okay with this?

Niko: ...You could die, you know?

Evan: I mean, that’s life in Basral for you~

Dolly: And usually, once Abel has a plan cooked up, he’s an unstoppable force… Even just trying to do that is useless.

Burgess: We’re sticking with him and his team, no matter the problems we might face.

Gerard: Hey, speak for yourself! I’m not going to follow along with Abel’s plan, you hear!?

Musashi: Fufufu… It’s such a gargantuan beast… And with every step it takes… ah, my dream expands!

Krone: Hey, there are people with other motivations here too, y’know?

Niko: ...What the fuck is with you people? You’re all a real bunch of fucking idiots.

Abel: Let’s do it, Niko! Orochi! We can do this!

Orochi: Gotcha… I’m counting on you. Please, help us.

Abel: Yeah, of course! With everyone’s strength combined, we’ll beat Cetus to a pulp!!

Orochi: Alright. Then let’s revisit our strategy with our new lineup!

???: ………

Joker: ...Defeat… Cetus?
