*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' ''-'' | *{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''(... There's a reason he's the King. For all his laidback persona, his skills are a real deal.)'' | ||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''(It seems like he's full of openings, but if I take the bait, I'll be trapped. It's tricky...)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''This ain't it... Your movement is all different. You weren't like this in the Abyss.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Is that so? I don't really remember how I fought in the Abyss.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''(I was on edge due to the suffocating demonic energy and the limited sight from darkness... It's a miracle everyone made it out alive.)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''It was so much better. Ah, what a bummer...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''They say you reach your utmost potential in extreme circumstances, but I can't exactly match that condition... How about you take out your anger on me?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''My anger?'' | |||
*''(CLANG! CLANG!)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Come to think of it, you said the same thing in my dream. Do I look like I have a lot of pent up anger?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''You don't just look that way, you actually do.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''......?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''What, don't tell me you didn't know? You must be one of those with a serious gap between your ideal and reality. A typical harbinger of justice and all that.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''That's how dream walking works. You can't choose what you want to see, but if you concentrate, you can, not only see the memory, but experience it alongside the host.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''You felt my anger?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''Yes. Swelled up like a balloon, ready to pop at any moment. It was fascinating.'' | |||
*''(CLANG! KEEE....)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''Tsk, stop poking around and actually face me! All you've done is dodge my attacks.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''I tend to be cautious. Especially in front of sadistic demons who would slash open the face of their allies.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''Hm? Ah, so you met them. How are they doing?'' | |||
*''(BOOM!)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Good. No thanks to you.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''Whoa, that one was good. I don't get it, what's the difference?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not doing anything different.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''(The fight might last longer than I expected...)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''(I'll have to apologize to others later.)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''No. This isn't it. The movements were much more fluid in the Abyss and the land of beasts!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''But you can't seem to concentrate. What's the difference? What's on your mind besides fighting with me?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Hm. I admit I'm distracted. I apologize.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''But that doesn't mean I'm not taking this seriously. You're not exactly an easy opponent.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''But you're not giving your all! Tell me, what do I need for you to take this seriously?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Hm. Even if you say that...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''You better make this fight worthwhile for me.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''Oh, that one attack earlier was pretty good. You know, the attack made immediately after you mentioned the renegades.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''You call the Magmelia Dream Demons renegades?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''... Come to think of it, there was a Dream Demon from Torta without a scar.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''Ah, I think I know who you're talking about. You mean the one with glasses, right?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''I thought all renegades received the same treatment?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''Nah, he was entertaining. He lied and said he was the one who instigated the escape, but he was a barely noticeable scaredy cat while he was here.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''The courage he showed while he was shaking in his pants was memorable. So you could say it was a reward of sorts.'' | |||
*''(CRASH, BOOM!)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''Whoa, what was that? It hurt.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''A reward? You really only care about your entertainment.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''For all your talk about dangers and thrills, you're no different from your spectators.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''In what way?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''You don't know what it feels like to be the only one to survive when all your comrades go down... until you experience it.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''Aha... So you want to educate me?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ricardo}} '''Ricardo:''' ''Fine. At least you're finally taking this seriously. Show me what you've got!'' | |||
---- | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''... Wait, what's going on?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''What is he doing?!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Shaddie}} '''Shaddie:''' ''Oh? What is it? What's going on?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Raven charged suddenly... and is now giving an all-out-attack.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''What happened? An all-out-attack will not be to his advantage.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Yeah. Didn't you say Raven's strategy was to watch his opponent's movement and buy time until he can counterattack, Rose?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''I think the King managed to get a rise out of him.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Really....'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Um, I'm sure Raven has a plan. All we can do is believe in him and cheer on.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Yeah... I'm sure he'd be fine. Anyway, can you tell us more about the Land of Steel's border?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Shaddie}} '''Shaddie:''' ''A wall! It's very long, and very tall! It's a sight to behold!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Zero}} '''Zero:''' ''Is having a wall really that big of a deal? Most borders have them. Though, I guess I haven't seen that much in the Demon Realm.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Do walls even provide an obstacle to you guys? You have wings.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Shaddie}} '''Shaddie:''' ''We get muscle cramps! Saying you should fly over the wall is like saying you should run across Red Demon Territory without resting!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''It must be a very high wall.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''Maybe we can ask Asella if we can borrow the airship?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Shaddie}} '''Shaddie:''' ''I heard about those. We didn't try, but we saw some Glitters flying over the wall using small airships.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Shaddie}} '''Shaddie:''' ''But I don't recommend it. Boss seems to like you. He'll be sad if you go that way.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''Why? What happened to the demons that used airships...?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Shaddie}} '''Shaddie:''' ''The wall is so tall, we couldn't see anything from below when they went over the wall. But...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Shaddie}} '''Shaddie:''' ''... It was followed by loud noise and light flashing! Ugh... It still gives me the chills!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''......Were they shot down?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''Sounds like it. Scary.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''... What about the sea? Have you tried getting on a boat?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Shaddie}} '''Shaddie:''' ''We haven't tried that either! I do think it's possible. You'll have to weave between rocks, but you can remain undetected.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Shaddie}} '''Shaddie:''' ''But you need a very small boat to steer between rocks. At most 3 per boat.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''That means it's useless for us. There must be elite forces placed near the border.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Going over the wall may be more difficult than we initially anticipated.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''Maybe they'll open the gate if they recognize Lu...? Though we don't know if the current master of the Land of Steel is Lu's friend or foe...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''Whichever it is, we should be able to go through the gate. Or there's no reason why they'd have the bounty.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''That's right. But for some reason... I have a bad feeling that we're missing something important...'' | |||
