 Laby: Oooh, something's about to start! Narrator: (ANNOUNCEMENT) This adventure begins in a dry, desert land where sand storms rage. Add: ... I can already tell this play is going to be a flop.- Narrator: (ANNOUNCEMENT) The main act will begin shortly. Actors, please get on stage.
 Chung: How do you know it's going to be a flop from just the opening?- Add: You think they'll have a proper play with cardboard backgrounds? Kugh?!
 Elsword: Huh? Add, where are you... Gah?! Ciel: Wait, where are you going? W, we still can't move! Aisha: No! It's like... Our body is moving on their own! Noah: What... Who's still sitting? Rose: ... The five of us. Me, Lu, Ciel, Laby, and you. Raven: Ugh... Something invisible is pulling us. Ain: ... Strings... Can you cut it?- Add: Damn it! I'm trying! But when I cut one, ten more of them appear...!
 Elesis: What are they playing at?- Narrator: Bow to the audience before the start of the play!
- Clapping from Unseen Audience: (WHOO- CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP)
 Rena: Don't tell me... we're the actors?- Narrator: Now, let the play begin!

 Eris: Ack, I got shot in the leg! I cannot go any further... Leave without me! Iccus: But Eris!- Eris: Go!
- Narrator: That moment, the archer swept her long blonde hair back and smiled evilly. She said,
- Narrator: Ahahaha! You will all die here. Kyahahaha!'
- Rena: Aha... haha... You will... all... die here. Ahaha...
- Narrator: The archer's hair was dyed red with the blood of countless Dream Demons she killed.
- Eris: Of course, I cannot forgive them... But... But I cannot lose you too.
- Iccus: Sob... But I cannot leave you here!
- Rena: Hey! I never bullied you like...!
- Raven: Calm down, Rena. If we don't follow the script, we might have to start all over.
- Rena: Mrrr...
- Narrator: Boom! With a sound of an explosion, slow, but determined footsteps approached them.
- Narrator: The artilleryman strikes a pose with his cannon and says narcissistically. 'Boom, boom! Hahaha... It's so much fun demolishing them all!'
- Chung: ... It's... so much... fun... demolishing them all. Which one should I use as a target next?
- Chung: No matter how many there are, I can sh, shoot... all of them down.
- Chung: (Is this... what they think of me? A mad bomber and a serial killer...?)
- Elsword: (No, Chung! You're not... This is ridiculous.)
- Aisha: (Nobody likes their assigned parts here. I'm some kind of a mad shaman reading the path of the stars!)
- Raven: (... And I'm an evil swordsman who traded his left arm with the devil. It's absurd.)
- Narrator: 'Huhuhu, leave some for me.' The woman wielding a spear appears with a bewitching laugh.
- Narrator: But continue bitingly, as if she turned into a completely different person.
 Ara: Kya... haha... That one's liver is mine! I'll, uh, sh, shr...- Ara: Uhhh, shred it to pieces! Roar!
 Eun: (... I must have lived for too long. I didn't think I'd ever witness something like this.)- Ara: Uuuuh... Not you too, Eun...
 Lu: Aha, I understand why we were left in the audience. This stage is reenacting the events at Sander, isn't it?- Elesis: Come, my minions, I shall pardon you if you win, but if you lose... Off with your heads!
- Ciel: ... Never mind the content, it looks like Elesis is having way too much fun.
- Rose: She's just someone who gives it her all no matter what the task is.
- Ain: Haha, this damned...
- Rose: But the way, Ain hasn't said anything yet, do you know what his role is supposed to be?
- Noah: I believe he's a silent monk... I missed most of the details, since they breezed through the explanation.
- Laby: Laby's starting to feel bad for the Dream Demons.
- Noah: Surely... they weren't actually like that...? How long do we have to watch this?
- Ciel: Even though I got that the demons here specialize in mental attacks, I never thought it would involve something like this. How terrifying.
- Lu: Well... Yes. They do live off the attention and emotion.
- Lu: I'm sure even a crude stage like this will bring up emotion. Like... anger. Whichever it may be, I do hope they're not too affected by them.
- ... ... ... ...
 Eve: ... Why should I have to fight in a battle for peasants. I do not wish to get my clothes dirty, so I shall rest in the shades.- Eve: Ahh, will you fight for me, m, my p, p, prince...?
- Narrator: ... Hellooo? Next line!
- Add: Damn it all... Y, your wish is my command, m, my pr... princess...
- Rose: The lines are quite romantic, yet the mood is quite murderous. How did those two end up as a prince and princess duo?
- Laby: Weren't you paying attention, Rose? Those two are princess and prince with a machine heart. They are normally cruel and ruthless, but the love they have for each other is true!
- Laby: But they are actually half-siblings. It's a forbidden love, but they don't know that yet. Only the machine princess has some suspicion.
- Rose: Aha... Is that the setting?
- Lu: It's painful to watch. If my arms weren't held, I would have at least covered my ears.
- Ciel: Really? I'm just getting into it. It's giving us so much blackmail material.
- ... ... ... ...
- Karis Role: Now, my beloved brethren, my friends, leave this to me, and go! Haa!
- Elsword: (Ugh, why do I have to say this!)
- Elsword: Kugh, defeated by a mere demon? I will not forget this...!
- Narrator: ... The show has ended. Now final bow for the audience!
- Aisha: ... That's it? Is it truly over?
- Clapping from Unseen Audience: (WHOO- CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP)
- Aisha: Ahhh that was the worst! Did you see that scene where I bawled out my eyes because the cloudy sky prevented me from receiving any message from the stars? It's ridiculous!
- Elsword: Hey, I barely had any lines except at the end. Why was I on stage if they weren't going to make use of me?
- Rena: Be grateful you were an average swordsman. You saw what they did to the main characters.
- Chung: Serial bomber...
- Ain: Ha, can I speak now? Moving accordingly to the whim of demons was irritating. Very irritating.
- Add: Am I... that obnoxious and cringey? This humiliation is the worst...
- Elesis: Calm, my prince. You shan't bother yourself with jests of us lowly peasants.
- Add: Do you want to die?! Are you boasting that your role wasn't as bad?!
- Eve: ... I cannot forgive them.
