《Makai: Demitri's Castle - Central Hall》
Chun-Li: "There's no one here... So there's no one in this castle after all?"
Chun-Li: "...I wanted to know where this is."
(Morrigan appears)
Morrigan: "He... didn't even lock the door... How careless."
Chun-Li: "A human...!?"
Chun-Li: (But she appeared out of nowhere... how?)
Morrigan: "Huh? Servant, is Demitri here?"
Morrigan: "Is he still sleeping?"
Chun-Li: "S-servant?"
Chun-Li: "Hey, what's with you suddenly showing up!?"
Morrigan: "Oh, I'm sorry."
Morrigan: "Well, I didn't think it was his style. You seem strong-willed."
Chun-Li: "...That's none of your business. Who are you?"
Morrigan: "Ah, you're also a guest from Busshitsukai."
Chun-Li: "Busshitsukai? 'Also'...?"
Chun-Li: "What do you know!?"
Chun-Li: "Uh, uummm..."
Morrigan: "Morrigan. Morrigan Aensland."
Chun-Li: "I'm Chun-Li. I'm an Interpol detective."
Morrigan: "Um... how much of your name is that?"
Chun-Li: "..."
Chun-Li: "Chun-Li is fine. ...Answer my question. Where am I?"
Morrigan: "Where?... The lair of a strict vampire named Demitri."
Chun-Li: (Vampire...? What are you talking about? ...And...)
Chun-Li: "Um... is that outfit popular?"
Morrigan: "It's not trendy or anything... I'm just wearing my everyday clothes."
Chun-Li: "..."
Chun-Li: "Are you... human?"
Morrigan: "You have a lot of questions, don't you?"
Morrigan: "Do you want to know my measurements next?"
Chun-Li: "Don't make me ask twice. Answer me."
Morrigan: "Okay, okay, I get it."
Morrigan: "I..."
(Green Slime, Blue Slime, Skeleton Murderer, 2 Black Slimes, and 2 Mage Ghosts appear)
Chun-Li: "Monsters!? I can't believe they're showing up here!"
Morrigan: "Oh, another customer?"
Morrigan: "I thought so... Makai Village and the Druaga army. ...Apparently they're assassins."
Morrigan: (That idiot Demitri... He's got me well under his belt...)
Chun-Li: "Explain something! I haven't been able to understand anything this whole time!"
Morrigan: "We can talk later. Otherwise, you'll die."
Chun-Li: "Uh... I understand."
Chun-Li: "Phew... Looks like fighting is the only option here."
Chun-Li: "Are you one of them?"
Morrigan: "No... I'd tell you if that was the case. Otherwise I'd probably just punch you right in the face."
Chun-Li: "Hehe... That's a relief."
Chun-Li: "If you'd answered anything else, I would have been the first to kick you."
Morrigan: "Scary."
Morrigan: "...But I like you."
Morrigan: "Okay, then, let's dance."
2 enemies defeated
Morrigan: "This doesn't seem very exciting."
Morrigan: "So... they're a scouting team."
Chun-Li: "Who are these guys?"
[Location: Makai Village]
Morrigan: "...The soldiers of Makai Village. They don't seem to be of very high rank, though."
Chun-Li: "M-Makai Village?"
Morrigan: "I'm talking about the worst place in history that once shook this world."
(Your team appears)
Chun-Li: "More of them?! No, humans?!"
Felicia: "Hey, Demit..."
Morrigan: "Huh? You..."
Morrigan: "Oh, it's been a while, kitten!"
Felicia: "Huh?! W-why are you here?!"
Hsien-Ko: "Oh no, I thought we'd avoided it, but... we hit the jackpot..."
Bruce: "Hey, what's going on? Is it Halloween today?"
Bruce: "You're pretty cool, aren't you?"
Morrigan: "Hehe, thanks. You're great too. You seem full of life."
Bruce: "I've finally met a woman who understands my charms. It seems like all I've been around are women who look like they've been carved out of iron."
Regina: "...Who are you talking about?"
Fong Ling: "You shouldn't be acting like that at your age."
Chun-Li: "Fong Ling? Is that you?"
Fong Ling: "Chun-Li! I'm so glad you're safe! Don't worry, everything's fine."
Xiaomu: "...I'm not sure if we'll be okay either."
Reiji: "Don't say anything unnecessary, it'll just make things complicated."
Reiji: "But then, those two over there are those men in karate uniforms."
Xiaomu: "That's a terribly simple calculation, isn't it?"
Xiaomu: "But even so, that woman with that detective..."
Morrigan: "Hmm... Our guests are from Busshitsukai... but it seems there are some who aren't."
Kurino: "...Morrigan Aensland."
Morrigan: "Yes, for example, you... Hero Kurino."
[Location: Makai Village]
Morrigan: "If the Maiden Knight hadn't been so stubborn, she wouldn't have had to run away from Makai Village."
Sabine: "Makai Village?! And... you met Valkyrie?!"
Kurino: (Lady Valkyrie... why were you in Makai Village alone...?)
King: "It seems she knows a few people here... Felicia, do you know that woman?"
Reiji: "Aensland... that's a name I've heard before."
Xiaomu: "Kurino mentioned it earlier."
Xiaomu: "...It looks like we've caught something pretty big."
Felicia: "Yeah... I didn't want to meet her because I knew nothing good would come of getting involved..."
Felicia: "She's one of the nobles fighting in Makai."
Felicia: "Um, was she the 'boss'?"
Morrigan: "...'Head of the family.'"
Morrigan: "Plus, I didn't become one because I wanted to."
Wonder Momo: "We found Chun-Li, but... things seem to be getting complicated again..."
Bravoman: "If we can hear about this world, we should at least be patient."
Bravoman: "This castle... I don't feel like anyone else is around."
Morrigan: "This is finally starting to get interesting."
Morrigan: "Mhmhm... I hope things get even more exciting."
3 enemies remain
Morrigan: "Oh, there aren't many left."
Hsien-Ko: "That's to be expected when we have more people than them."
Regina: "There's nothing you can do about the difference in military strength."
Xiaomu: "Indeed. Since ancient times, they say that war is decided by numbers."
Reiji: "If it can be resolved easily, then athat's best."
Reiji: "Let's finish them quickly and move on."
Morrigan: "Well, that's true."
Morrigan: (...It's true that there are some people like Valkyrie's right-hand man, Kurino, and Felicia, whose abilities are clear...)
Morrigan: (It seems the others have considerable abilities as well. Busshitsukai...I need to reconsider my perception.)
Chun-Li: "..."
Wonder Momo: "Chun-Li, what's wrong?"
Chun-Li: "I feel like someone's watching me."
Morrigan: "Oh? Are you the type who gets excited when you're being watched?"
Chun-Li: "No way!"
Felicia: "...You're the same old Morrigan."
(2 Blue Knights and 2 Black Knights appear)
Bellaboman: "Hmm?! What about this Western armor?"
Kurino: "Blue Knights and Black Knights...! They're the Knights of Druaga!"
King: "Armor in an old castle. It suits you quite well."
Sabine: "...What are you talking about with such a smug look on your face?"
Sabine: "Where were these guys hiding...?"
(Lord Raptor appears)
Raptor: "I wasn't hiiiidiiiing!"
Raptor: "I just got here! Hyaaaha!"
[Location: Spencer Lane]
Bruce: "Is that... that zombie guy we met on the Spencer Lane?"
Felicia: "What?! Even Zabel?!"
Hsien-Ko: "You came to see Demitri, why did this happen?!"
Raptor: "The. Reason. Is..."
Raptor: "Because Hsien-Ko and I are bound together by a goddamn black thread!"
Raptor: "MYY SWEEEET!"
Hsien-Ko: "Ugh, ugh... I don't want to be tied to you by threads of such an ominous color!"
Wonder Momo: "You have a strange boyfriend..."
Hsien-Ko: "Who's my boyfriend!?"
Morrigan: "...Raptor, you're the one who was watching us."
Chun-Li: "..."
Hsien-Ko: "It's been a while, hasn't it, Head of Aensland?"
Hsien-Ko: "Don't worry! You're just a young-looking succubus, and I don't feel the slightest bit of arousal!"
Morrigan: "...That's a funny thing to say."
Morrigan: "I just want to kill men who tell jokes like that."
Reiji: "As expected from the hometown of the monsters. It seems like he knows people all over the place."
Xiaomu: "Maybe they bumped into each other at an arcade... or something?"
Chun-Li: "Fong Ling, who's that skeleton-like thing?"
Fong Ling: "...It's not a skeleton. It's a zombie."
Fong Ling: "The one who attacked the Spencer Lane. So..."
Chun-Li: "...So he's the enemy."
Zabel: "Now, it's showtime! Morrigan, after I kill you, Duke Demi's next!"
Morrigan: "You're targeting me and Demi-Demi, then?"
Morrigan: "I see... So it seems you're backed by Makai Village, no doubt about it."
Morrigan: "...Go ahead and try if you can."
Kurino: "Perfect timing. I want to know more about Makai Village... too."
Chun-Li: (It's not the zombie that was watching me. ...Who is it?)
vs Blue Knight/Black Knight
Bruce & Regina
Bruce: "The blue armor is the same as the one on the Spencer Lane... never seen the black armor before."
Regina: "It doesn't matter what color it is. Just think of it as a tin can."
Raptor takes damage or 10 actions taken
Raptor: "Ugh! I haven't seen you in a while, bro. You've become quite the troublesome group."
Bruce: "Heh, I didn't want to get involved with these mysterious guys."
Fong Ling: "I agree. I guess this is just how things went."
Xiaomu: "It reads as success and is pronounced as success."
Xiaomu: "In other words, it means it's a B-I-G success."
Reiji: "That's not how it goes."
Reiji: "There's just too much going on to dismiss it as just the way things are."
Hsien-Ko: "But thanks to that, I think I might be able to defeat you, Raptor!"
Hsien-Ko: "That means you'll never be able to make those creepy love calls again!"
Raptor: "No no no, I'll always love you!"
Raptor: "Then I guess I'll call some 'comrades' myself!"
Morrigan: "What? You brought someone else with you?!"
(Amazona and 3 Crab Fencers appear)
Amazona: "..."
Wonder Momo: "Ah, Amazona?! And... Crab Fencers too?!"
Bravoman: "Didn't that clown take her away?!"
Raptor: "Clown? Ah, you mean that Joker guy?"
Raptor: "I just borrowed 'er for a bit! Ha ha!"
Regina: "That zombie seems to be one of those 'Phantom Beasts' that Klonoa and the others called them."
King: "Yeah. Our enemy seems to be a much larger organization than we imagined."
Amazona: "Momo Kanda... I'm taking you..."
Wonder Momo: "Amazona... What on earth happened to you!? Answer me this time! Hey!"
Kurino: "That girl... seems to be from Busshitsukai. Are the others like that too?"
Felicia: "No. ...Only the girl in the red armor is human. The rest..."
Morrigan: "From the looks of it, I think she's a Druaga soldier inside."
Wonder Momo: "Zombie! What have you done to Amazona...!"
Raptor: "What's wrong? It's simple, baby."
Raptor: "They say we need souls! We're collecting them!"
Chun-Li: "That's not a good explanation! And souls... you say?!"
Sabine: "Collecting them... Don't lie. We've never heard of such things in our world."
Morrigan: "Even in this demon world. ...It's all lies, Raptor."
Raptor: "Of course you've never heard of it! It's because it's a 'different world'!"
Fong Ling: "A different world? ...Could it be that the world you're collecting souls from is..."
Bravoman: "You mean our world...!"
Bravoman: "Could it be...that's the true nature of the 'sleeping sickness' that's happening in Japan!?"
Reiji: "...Tch, doing whatever you want in the human world!"
Xiaomu: "So they're literally 'soulless shells'."
Xiaomu: "...Stop being ridiculous."
Felicia: "Why are you causing such trouble in the human world?"
Raptor: "I'm not interested in all that ridiculous talk about 'different quality souls' or whatever."
Raptor: "But, it's just not a world that's usually that easy to connect to. There are souls galore over there!"
???: "I see... so that's your goal."
Morrigan "...!"
Xiaomu "Huh?! What's this demonic aura?"
Raptor: "That's exactly it. That's the goal of the Demon Lord of Makai Village!"
Raptor: "Yeah, that bastard Druaga, too."
Raptor: "And... me too...!"
???: "Hahaha... so now, Makai Village... the Demon Lord Astaroth's plot has finally been exposed."
Raptor: "W-What did you say?"
Felicia: "Um... that voice... it's him, isn't it?"
Hsien-Ko: "...I don't care anymore..."
Reiji: "Who's there!?"
(The candles next to the throne light up and Demitri appears)
Demitri: "Hehehehe... Lord Raptor."
Demitri: "If that's all you need, I have no further use for you."
Raptor: "What?! Duke Demi! ...You can't be!"
Morrigan: "Demitri! Is that why you were hiding?!"
Demitri: "Hiding? Hmph, tell me you were watching."
Chun-Li: "...You're the one who was watching me."
Demitri: "Exactly. I saw you wandering around my castle with interest."
Demitri: "I'm Demitri Maximoff. You've been quite the spectacle so far."
Reiji: "This guy... doesn't seem human. He doesn't seem to be trying to hide his demonic aura."
Xiaomu: "What, what tight-fitting clothes. I'm so excited..."
Xiaomu: "Reiji, you're wearing clothes like that too..."
Reiji: "...So are you."
Raptor: "Tch! ...Stop messing around!"
Raptor: "Hey, don't just sit there! Do it, you bastards!"
Amazona: "Momo Kanda...I'll claim... your soul..."
Wonder Momo: "Amazona, I'll save you..."
Wonder Momo: "For that, I'll fight...!"
Morrigan: "Hmm, it seems like there's a reason."
Morrigan: "...See, this is starting to get interesting, isn't it, Demitri?"
Demitri: "Hmph, I hope this doesn't end up being a farce."
[Stage Title Card]
vs Crab Fencer
Kurino & Sabine
Sabine: "They're a strange bunch."
Kurino: "They look a bit like Nakamura-san. They're kind of wearing something..."
Bravoman: "You're not entirely wrong."
Wonder Momo: "It's what's inside that counts!"
King & Felicia
King: "There's no sense of tension here. Fighting someone wearing a mask..."
Felicia: "Not even Mr. King."
King: "What are you doing putting my mask together with just any other masked person?"
King: "This is from the original Father King..."
Felicia: "We'll talk about that later! Let's go!"
Reiji & Xiaomu
Xiaomu: "Hmm, now that we've got them, it feels like we've become Tokusatsu heroes."
Reiji: "Don't be so carefree. These guys are just monster soldiers."
Xiaomu: "Okay, Reiji! Let's transform with 'Pretty Touch'!"
Reiji: "...Do it by yourself."
vs Amazona
Bravoman & Wonder Momo
Wonder Momo: "Wake up! Please!"
Amazona: "...I'll take... your soul..."
Raptor: "It's pointless! Just gimme your soul!"
Bellaboman: "That won't work! I'll protect both of your souls!"
Chun-Li
Amazona: "..."
Chun-Li: "There's no doubt about it. This girl is definitely human..."
Chun-Li: "What's wrong with you?! Why are you on the demon side?"
Amazona: "..."
Chun-Li: "...Her eyes resemble those of Shadaloo's guards...! Have you been possessed by a demon...?"
KO
Amazona: "Uh... Ugh...!"
Wonder Momo: "Come to your senses! I'm fine with fighting you on stage!"
Raptor: "Tch! You're useless! Hey, go back first!"
Amazona: "Momo... Kanda..."
Wonder Momo: "Wait! Don't go! You're one of us!"
Bravoman: "That's right! Have pride as a human!"
Raptor: "I told ya to go back!"
Amazona: "..."
(Amazona retreats)
Wonder Momo: "Amazona..."
Sabine: "...What does this mean?"
Kurino: "She's probably being forced by a powerful magical force."
Chun-Li: "Is there no way to reverse it?"
Morrigan: "...With that kind of magic, all you have to do is defeat the caster."
Wonder Momo: "The caster... Druaga...!"
vs Raptor
Bravoman & Wonder Momo
Raptor: "You guys are wearing some weird stuff."
Wonder Momo: "Huh, weird stuff..."
Bravoman: "I think you should wear some clothes. You're nothing but skin and bones."
Raptor: "You're right! Ha ha ha!"
Demitri
Demitri: "After Ozom, you've now ingratiated yourself with Makai Village. How pathetic, you can't do anything on your own."
Raptor: "You think you can do anything on your own? Ain't you the one that's being cocky?"
Raptor: "So you get mad when you can't? How lame!"
Demitri: "...You're just a total nuisance. Get out of my castle...!"
Morrigan
Morrigan: "Now, you'll have to pay for your rudeness towards me. I'll give you some time to regret it, okay?"
Raptor: "Thanks for that! But hey, it's not rude or anything; I'm only telling the truth, y'know?"
Raptor: "Because I'm a zombie of the truth! Hyaaahaha!"
Morrigan: "...Touching the truth is itself a sin. It's a common thing for girls."
Hsien-Ko & Fong Ling
Raptor: "Wow! Hsien-Ko, kiss me!"
Hsien-Ko: "...I don't want to deal with you personally."
Fong Ling: "...Hsien-Ko, you have to settle things with your own hands."
Hsien-Ko: "I! Told! You! I'm not your boyfriend!"
KO
Raptor: "Arghhhh...you son of a...!"
Raptor: "Stop it, stop it! It's such a bad day!"
Hsien-Ko: "You're a corpse, so don't treat it like bad luck! This time you'll definitely die!"
Raptor: "Well, I guess I'll have more chances to meet Hsien-Ko next time, and it'll be a bit of comfort!"
Fong Ling: "You're being positive, even though you're a corpse."
Chun-Li: "First of all, can you kill someone if they're dead?"
Xiaomu: "No, no questions!"
Xiaomu: "You can run away!"
Raptor: "Well, see you next time!"
(If Amazona was defeated, Raptor just retreats. But if Amazona is still present...)
Amazona: "..."
Wonder Momo: "Amazona! Over here!"
Raptor: "Come on! You're coming too!"
Amazona: "Kanda Momo... Next time, I'll claim your soul... for Lord Druaga..."
Wonder Momo: "Wait! Amazona!"
(Raptor and Amazona retreat)
Wonder Momo: "Amazona..."
Sabine: "...What does this mean?"
Kurino: "She's probably being forced by a powerful magical force."
Chun-Li: "Is there no way to reverse it?"
Morrigan: "...With that kind of magic, all you have to do is defeat the caster."
Wonder Momo: "The caster... Druaga...!"
All enemies defeated
Demitri: "It's finally quiet. Those uncouth bastards disturbing the silence of this beautiful night."
Morrigan: "Huh? But you looked like you were having a good time."
Demitri: "I'm not weak enough to be satisfied with that."
Morrigan: "Huh? I wonder?"
Demitri: "...What did you say?"
Chun-Li: "Wait a moment."
Chun-Li: "We've finally gotten to the point where we can talk, so can you please not start a fight!?"
Hsien-Ko: "...You're doing a great job against Morrigan... What a model Chinese person..."
Xiaomu: "I feel like you're just reckless..."
Xiaomu: "You seem like the type who puts your feet before your mouth."
Morrigan: "Shut up, servant!"
Chun-Li: "Who the hell are you calling a servant?"
Chun-Li: "I've got something to ask that onion-head over there!"
Demitri: "You little girl... If I act humble, you'll get cocky...!"
Sabine: "Come on... it's a three-way battle."
Regina: "...100 bucks on that macho guy over there."
Kurino: "Wait a minute! This isn't the time for that!"
Demitri: (...Sandra tribe? Hmm, I see... so this guy is Kurino.)
[Location: King Enma's Room]
Bravoman: "Remember why we came here."
Bravoman: "...To find out where King Enma is, right?"
Chun-Li: "King... Enma?"
Reiji: "Detective Chun-Li, I'll tell you the details later. For now, let's talk about this first."
Demitri: "Enma?"
Demitri: "...He's someone I must defeat someday. I can't let you take his head."
Sabine: "You seem to have misunderstood something."
Sabine: "We're just going to ask how to return these people from Busshitsukai to their own world."
Morrigan: "Oh, really?"
Morrigan: "So they're going back. ...What a trivial thing."
Bruce: "It's not about what's interesting or not. This is a real issue for us."
Demitri: "...How stupid. It was a complete farce after all."
(Demitri leaves)
Reiji: "Hey!"
Morrigan: "Oh, Demitri."
Morrigan: "Yeah... it's true."
Morrigan: "The people from Makai Village already have their eye on you..."
Morrigan: "Lending you help would be like sticking my nose into something that's a pain."
Felicia: "What a stingy demon."
Reiji: "...Can you please bend that and help us?"
Wonder Momo: "Um..."
Fong Ling: "Hmm... What's wrong?"
Wonder Momo: "...I can't go back to my original world."
Kurino: "Huh? W-What do you mean? Getting you back to your original world..."
Wonder Momo: "Amazona... My friend is still being held captive by an evil demon. I can't just leave her like that..."
Morrigan: "..."
Bravoman: "That's true, but... We don't even know where this 'Makai Village' is."
Bravoman: "For now, we should return to our original world and think about what to do next."
Regina: "It's impossible to solve everything at once... That's the reality."
Morrigan: "..."
Hsien-Ko: "Besides, once Morrigan says something, there's no changing her mind."
Hsien-Ko: "And finding Chun-Li was a blessing in disguise."
Chun-Li: "Before I knew it, it had become 'another' thing."
Morrigan: "Hsien-Ko is right. ...So, I'm heading home too."
Morrigan: "Oh, that's right...can someone give me a lift?"
Morrigan: "As a thank you...how about I tell you where King Enma is...?"
Morrigan: "I'm sure he knows about Makai Village, where Raptor fled to."
Wonder Momo: "Huh...?"
Xiaomu: "I see..."
Reiji: "What's going on here? ...I hope she's not up to something."
Morrigan: "Well, I wonder?"
Morrigan: "So, will you give me a lift or not?"
King: "Are you sure? Maybe those guys from that place called Makai Village are after you?"
Bruce: "Wait a minute, Masked Man. It's manly etiquette to accept a lady's invitation, you know?"
Hourin: "What manly etiquette? Seriously... you're doing great."
Morrigan: "Well, I'm happy."
Wonder Momo: "Morrigan...!"
Felicia: "Well, you have some good points, Morrigan."
Hsien-Ko: "...Honestly, that's surprising."
Morrigan: "Hehe... It was just on a whim."
