1Aris: Hey, Kate. I got you that chocolate you wanted!
2[Looks at chocolate]
3Kate: Dr. Aris, you trying to sneak me something disguised as chocolate?
4Aris: W-well
5Kate [sighs]: Firstly, I don't appreciate being lied to. Secondly, it's unnecessary. I'll eat it regardless. And thirdly, you still owe me chocolate. [Casually eats the fake chocolate]
6Yuri: Huh. You know it always surprises me how casual you are about all this. Don't you even care what it does?
7Kate: I'm mildly curious, but as long as I get my chocolate I don't really care. Whether you tell me or not is up to you. 
8Aris: But what if it was poison? You still don't care?
9Kate: Hmmm. Maybe you're right. I won't be able to eat chocolate later if I'm dead. Maybe I should demand payment up front from now on….
10Aris and Yuri: …..
11
12[Kate stares at Frankenstein.]
13[Kate: Hm, I wonder who he is.]
14[Kate sees his eye move.]
15[Kate: Huh? Did the mind control wear off?]
16[Frankenstein stares blankly.]
17[Kate: No, he definitely moved…. Was he never mind controlled to begin with? Was he just faking? I wonder why he would do that….] 
18Aris: Kate, what are you doing?
19Kate: Oh. Nothing. He’s just really interesting to look at.
20[Kate: Hm, well I don’t know what his deal is but I see no reason to stop him.]
21
22Aris: Kate, power up right now!
23Kate: Huh? Why? You're stronger than me. What do you expect me to do? Also, why are you trying to drag me into your fight? 
24Aris: Power up! I need to absorb you to beat him!
25Kate: Yeah, that's going to be a hard no. 
26Aris: What are you talking about!? Why are you being disobedient!?
27Kate: Remember earlier? When we decided that you would buy me chocolate up front? If you absorb me I won't get my chocolate later. Plus, you still owe me chocolate from before.
28Aris: …. Are you serious? This is because of chocolate?
29Kate: Yeah, pretty much. If you had paid me in advance I'd go along with your plan, but you didn't so…. 
30Aris: Fine! Then I'll just absorb you as is!
31[Kate: Well, I guess that's fair. Should I fight her or let her absorb me? Hmmmm.] 
32[Aris charges. Kate ducks and trips Aris. Kate jumps to a safe distance.]
33Kate: Yeah, you two have fun. I’m going to sit this one out.
34
35[Takio shows up and stops Frankenstein]
36Takio: What are you doing!?
37Frankenstein: I could ask you the same thing. 
38Takio: Why are you attacking my sister!?
39Aris: Brother?
40Frankenstein [shocked]: Your sister? Aris is your sister?
41Takio: No. There's no way my sister and that psychopath are the same person. 
42Frankenstein: Now I'm really confused. You say their two different people but the one you're protecting is Aris.
43Aris [points at Kate]: No! I'm not Aris! She's Aris!
44Takio: Yeah! She's the one I remember seeing in the lab before!
45Kate [sighs]: No. I'm Kate. She's Aris.
46Takio: Like I would believe you!
47Kate [shrugs]: Well it's the truth so I don't know what you want me to do about it. 
48Aris: No! She's Aris!
49[Kate: So now what? We're supposed to go back and forth saying "I'm not Aris! She is!"?]
50Kate [sighs and crosses her arms]: Yeah, I'm not doing this. 
51Frankenstein: Yeah… I was with them for two days and that one was called "Aris" the whole time and that one was called "Kate".
52Aris: No, they're lying! Takio you believe me right?
53Takio: I…
54[Takio looks at Kate. Kate shrugs.]
55Kate: Believe what you want. 
56[Aris stabs Takio]
57Takio: Tiara why!?
58Aris: Well looking at the situation it didn't look like you were going to fight for me.
59Takio: Then you're…
60Aris: That's right. It's just like they said! I'm Aris, not Tiara!
61[Aris takes Takio's pill and sort of self destructs]
62[Yuri takes Aris away]
63
64[After Yuri and Aris leave]
65[Kate casually scratches face and stares off at them]
66Kate: Huh.
67Kate [shrugs]: By the way, here’s all of Dr. Aris’s research. 
68Frankenstein: You’re just giving this to us?
69Kate: Yeah. I figure you might find it useful since apparently Tao and Takio are not dead and are staying with you now. By the way, do you have room for one more?
70Frankenstein: You mean you?
71Kate: Yeah. I’m giving you the research regardless, but I thought I’d ask. If not, then I guess I can go to a homeless shelter or something. 
72Frankenstein: But won’t they track you down and kill you?
73Kate [shrugs]: Probably. But that’s not your problem. I don’t really know who you are or why you took them in, but I do know you’re strong. If you have any questions I’ll answer them. 
74Frankenstein: What exactly was your role with Dr. Aris?
75Kate: Sort of a research assistant/ guinea pig? You know her nano suit thing? She tested it on me first. 
76Frankenstein: So you can do that too?
77Kate: Yeah, but it’s not as powerful as hers. 
78Frankenstein: What’s your deal with chocolate?
79Kate: Well it’s not really the kind of situation where you can say “No, I don’t want to do that”. So I figured a working relationship with bribery would be preferable.  
80Frankenstein: Hmmm. Fine. You can come with us. 
81Kate: Thank you.
82
83[After getting back from fighting Aris]
84Tao: Wait, what happened? And why is Kate here?
85M-21: Takio's sister was fake. It turns out Aris was just messing with him. 
86Regis [angrily]: Those people…
87Takio: But [points at Kate] she was introduced to me as Aris!
88Tao: Wait! Are you Aris!?
89Kate: No. I'm Kate. 
90Takio: But why did you help her!?
91Kate: I wasn't exactly in a situation where I could say no. 
92Takio: Bullshit! You weren't an experiment like us! You probably could have left whenever you wanted!
93Kate [angrily]: Think whatever you want. I had my own problems and your imaginary sister wasn't one of them.
94[Tao: You bitch!]
95Tao: Takio, you should get treated… 
96Takio: No. I just want to stay like this. 
97Tao: Takio… 
98[The three guys go to the balcony to talk]
99Kate [sighs]: Maybe I should go… You've helped me enough as it is… 
100Kate: For what it's worth I am sorry about the role I played in Aris's game, but I doubt he wants to hear that from me. 
101Frankenstein: No. Not just yet. I'm curious about you.
102Kate [smiles wryly]: Because that doesn't sound ominous at all… 
103[Kate: The last time someone got "curious" about me I spent the next few days getting dissected…]
104Frankenstein: You said you were her experiment too. Was that a lie?
105Kate: No.
106Frankenstein: Then why didn't you tell them? 
107Kate [shrugs]: Because they're not wrong. I did help her mess with him. It's not like I'm totally innocent in all this. 
108Kate: They have a legitimate reason to hate me. That's why it might be better if I leave… 
109Frankenstein: But if they knew about that then they might not hate you… 
110Kate: That just feels like I'm making excuses. 
111[Takio comes back]
112Takio: Um… Frankenstein could you take a look at me?
113Frankenstein: Sure. Let's do it now. 
114Frankenstein: Kate, you too. 
115[Kate doesn't look happy about it]
116Kate: Is that necessary?
117Frankenstein: Yes.
118[Frankenstein: This way I'll know if she's lying…]
119[Kate: This is just going to be depressing. I already know how messed up I am and I really don't want to hear about it in detail. It's not like anyone can fix me anyway…]
120Kate [sighs]: Fine. 
121
122[Kate about to take off clothes]
123Kate: Um, can I have some privacy?
124Tao: Come on guys, let’s go.
125[Now it’s just her and Frankenstein. Kate takes off her clothes and Frankenstein examines her.]
126Frankenstein: !
127Frankenstein [surprised]: You’re in pretty bad shape. I had no idea. You act as though everything is fine.
128Kate: That’s just the way I am…. I could be dying and you would never know.
129Frankenstein: According to the data you gave me, it looks like she took you apart and put you back together….
130Kate [embarrassed]: Yeah, well… you know how she is about faces…. She was careful about that but she didn’t care so much about the rest of me…. [Kate wobbling]
131Frankenstein: Kate, are you alright?
132Kate: I think... I might... need to lie down…. [Kate passes out]
133Frankenstein: Kate!
134[Frankenstein: Whoa! That surprised me.]
135[Frankenstein: What happened? Was it that weird thing she ate?]
136[Frankenstein: I wasn't expecting that… I thought maybe she was lying about how bad it was, but instead she was downplaying it to such a degree…]
137[Kate slowly wakes up.]
138[Kate: What happened? Where am I?]
139[Kate: Oh that’s right. He defeated Aris. He was examining me and then I passed out. But why did I pass out?]
140[Kate: Was it because I was relaxed? I don’t remember when I’ve ever relaxed…. Was I really that tired? Was it really that bad?]
141Frankenstein: Oh Kate, you’re awake. Good. I was worried.
142Kate: Yeah….
143Frankenstein: Do you remember what happened?
144Kate: Yes….
145Frankenstein: … Do you know why you passed out?
146Kate: I think so…. I think it’s because I relaxed. I didn’t realise I was doing it. I was just so used to the pain…. Sorry.
147Frankenstein: ... 
148Frankenstein: Kate, I don’t know what kind of expectations you have… [Kate flinches] But you’re safe here. 
149[Kate blinks at him]
150Kate: I know. That’s why I relaxed…. 
151Frankenstein: …
152Frankenstein: Alright…. That aside. Your condition is pretty bad. It looks like the nano suit fused with your nerves that’s why you were in so much pain. [Kate: Yeah, I expected that.] Also, the physical enhancement you underwent made you unstable and cut your lifespan in half. [Yeah, I’m not surprised.] It will take me about two weeks to reverse all of that.
153Kate [surprised]: W-what? You mean you can actually fix me?
154Frankenstein: Well, most of it. I have some experience from treating Takio and Tao. They were very unstable when they first got here too. I can’t remove the nano suit, but I think I can separate it from your nerves and your lifespan should recover. Maybe not completely, but enough. 
155Kate: But that’s insane… I thought something like that was impossible… Are you serious? You can really fix me? 
156[Frankenstein nods]
157Kate: [looks at him] What do you want in return?
158Frankenstein: Nothing.
159Kate [blinks]: Nothing?
160Frankenstein: Nothing.
161Kate: You can perform miracles… and you don’t want anything in return? Are you an angel or something?
162Frankenstein [laughing]: Well I’ve certainly never been called THAT before…. 
163Kate: ...Are you sure I didn’t die somewhere along the way and this is just some really weird dream? [It would be just like me to not even notice I’d died.]
164[Frankenstein walks over and pokes her.]
165Frankenstein: Nope. You’re still here.
166Kate: Huh.
167Kate: Well, it doesn’t make any sense but I guess I’ll just accept it. Even if it does end up being some weird dream… there are worse things…. [Kate falls asleep]
168[Frankenstein: What a strange girl….] 
169
170[The common area]
171Takio: Frankenstein, is she really staying with us?
172Frankenstein: Yes. 
173Frankenstein: I take it you don't like that idea. 
174[They make faces]
175Frankenstein: Did you know she was an experiment too? 
176Takio: Yeah right. She probably lied about that. 
177Frankenstein: No. It's the truth. Actually when I was examining her she passed out. 
178[Tao and co look surprised]
179Tao: What? 
180Frankenstein: Yeah. Her body is actually pretty messed up. It will take me at least two weeks to fix it. 
181Everyone: !!!
182M-21: Are you serious!? But she seemed totally fine!
183Frankenstein: Yeah. I was surprised too. 
184Frankenstein: So yeah she's staying here, at least until she's better. After that it's up to her if she wants to stay or not. 
185[Frankenstein leaves]
186Tao: Whoa. I had no idea… 
187
188[Kate is in the kitchen and Tao and co come in]
189[Kate: Oh great. Here we go again…]
190Takio: So Kate, about before… 
191[Kate stares at him]
192Kate [sighs]: He told you, didn't he?
193M-21: Yeah, he did. But why did you try to keep it a secret? 
194Kate: Because I don't want your pity. And honestly… I didn't think he'd be able to fix me. I figured I'd be dead before it became a problem. Either because of the condition I was in or because the union would find me. 
195[Tao and co are stunned]
196Tao: But if we knew we wouldn't have acted like that… 
197Kate: Why is that a problem? You're not wrong. It is at least partly my fault. 
198M-21: But that's not fair… 
199Kate [shrugs]: What's "fair" got to do with it? If life was fair, none of this would have happened in the first place. 
200Kate [sighs]: Look for what it's worth, I am sorry about the part I played in it. But don't worry, I'll be out of here soon. 
201Tao: But why? Where are you going?
202Kate [looks at him]: I figured you guys would want me gone. Do you not? 
203[They look at Takio]
204Takio: No… we want you to stay. 
205Kate: Are you sure? Because I don't want to hear about this again. 
206Takio: No. We're sure. 
207[Kate hesitates]
208[Kate: Well it's not like I have anywhere else to go…]
209Kate [sighs]: Alright. I guess I'll stay. 
210
211[Kate and Frankenstein]
212Kate: Hey Frankenstein. It looks like I'm staying after all. 
213Frankenstein: Oh? That's good. 
214Kate: You did this on purpose, didn't you? You knew I'd stay if they were ok with it. That's why you told them. 
215Frankenstein: It didn't seem fair for them to hate you. Especially when you were so torn up. 
216Kate: What's "fair" got to do with it? Like I told them if life was fair, none of this would have happened. 
217Frankenstein: Well I can't argue with that. But I hope that we've treated you fairly. 
218Kate [looks at him]: You have, but you didn't have to go this far to help me. As long as I could get away from Aris and Yuri… that's all I really wanted. Are you sure you want me here? 
219Frankenstein: Of course. What's one more? 
220Kate: I suppose that's true. I guess I should get a job now. 
221Frankenstein: You can work as a security guard with the others. 
222Kate: …
223Kate: Yeah. I don't want to do that. 
224Frankenstein: Well what do you want to do? You're not staying here for free. 
225Kate: You said you run a school right? Can I be a teacher there?
226Frankenstein: Hmm. What do you want to teach? 
227Kate: Maybe science? Biology? 
228Frankenstein: I'll see what I can do. 
229
230Frankenstein: So Kate, how was your first day?
231Kate: It's good. I'm still getting used to it, but I think it went alright. 
232...
233[Kate's first day in class]
234Student a: So that's the new teacher?
235Student b: She's pretty. 
236Student a: Yeah, but science is boring…
237[Kate: Oh? What's this? Do we have a trouble maker?]
238[Kate [smiles]: Oh this will be fun!]
239Kate: Student a, is there something you want to share with the rest of the class?
240Student a: Uh no, teacher…
241Kate: Oh? Well then why don't you read the next paragraph? 
242Student a: The human body contains approximately 5 liters of blood. It is circulated throughout the body by the heart and used to deliver oxygen to the tissues of the body via the arteries…
243Kate: You can stop there.
244Kate: Did you know there are 20 major arteries in your body? And that they carry a high volume of blood? 
245Student a: Um…
246Kate: For example, your brachial artery is in your arm. It's about here… [touches spot on arm]. If your brachial artery was severed you could bleed out in as little as 5 minutes. 
247Students: …
248Kate: And the aorta is the largest artery in your body. If that was severed you could bleed out in as little as 1-2 minutes. Do you want to guess where that one is? 
249Students: …...
250Kate [smiles menacingly]: Well that is definitely something you should know. After all, it will be on the test… I'd hate for you to fail… 
251[Students [gulp]: She's scary…?]
252Kate: Shall we continue? 
253...
254Frankenstein: Hm… I'm still not sure what I should tell people about you staying with me. It's one thing for the others, but you're an unmarried woman… 
255Kate: Oh, I already took care of that.
256Frankenstein: You did?
257Kate: Yeah. Some of the teachers were talking and it came up so I told them I'm your sister. 
258Frankenstein [shocked]: What?
259Kate: Well it makes sense, right? It wouldn't be odd for your sister to be staying with you. And we do kind of look alike. 
260Frankenstein: …
261Kate [teasing]: ...Big bro?
262Frankenstein [choking] 
263[Frankenstein: How did this happen? I've somehow gained a sister? Taiko lost a sister and I gained one?] 
264
265[Kate is in the kitchen making cookies]
266[Rai and the kids come home]
267Kids: Hi Mr. Chairman!
268Shinwu: Huh? Aren't you that new teacher? Why are you in Mr. Chairman's house making cookies?
269Ikhan: No way! Could you be his wife?
270Yuna: Huh? But I didn't think he was married. 
271Sui: Yeah. I didn't know either...
272[Kate chuckles]
273[Frankenstein looks conflicted]
274Kate [looks at Frankenstein]: So do you want to tell them? Or should I?
275[Frankenstein sighs]
276Frankenstein: Go ahead. 
277Kate [smiles]: The truth is I'm his adorable little sister. 
278Everyone: !!!
279Shinwu: No way! I didn't know he had a sister!
280Kate: Well I'm not surprised. My brother is a very private person and there was no reason to mention it. 
281Yuna: Wow.
282Ikhan: Actually now that I think about it, you two do look alike…
283Sui: But why are you staying with him too?
284Kate: I had some… personal issues that came up. So he offered to let me stay with him until it was sorted out. 
285Kids: Oh~! That makes sense!
286Kate: So anyone want cookies? They're chocolate chip. 
287Kids: Me~!
288
289[Tao and co in the kitchen]
290Tao: What the fuck… now she's his sister!?
291Kate: What? Should I be giving you credit for the idea?
292Takio: That's… still though… 
293Kate [shrugs]: I offered to leave but you wanted me to stay. If you have a better idea to explain my presence here then let's hear it. 
294Everyone: …
295[Tao: Actually, she has a point… ]
296[M-21: I guess she's his sister now…]
297[Takio: This is so messed up…]
298
299[Kate sees Rai reading]
300[Kate: Hmm. He's strange. Doesn't talk much. I wonder what his deal is…]
301Rai [looks up at her]
302Rai: …
303Kate: …
304Rai [goes back to reading]
305[Kate: ...What is he?]
306[Kate: Well I guess I'll just follow his lead.]
307[Kate gets a book and starts reading across from Rai]
308[Frankenstein comes in and sees them both reading]
309[Frankenstein [looking at them]: Huh? What's going on here?]
310[Rai and Kate both look at him.]
311Kate [shrugs]: Just seemed like the thing to do at the time.
312[Rai and Kate go back to reading.]
313Frankenstein: … 
314
315[Regis Grandpa being rude]
316Grandpa: Even though I don't have to worry about them. I dislike being in the same area as them. People who gave up being human for power. 
317M-21: I'm going to my room. 
318Tao: Yeah, I'm going too. Thanks for the tea Seria. 
319Takio: Me too. 
320[Kate [smiling]: I like this one. He entertains me. I don't know why he's saying those things but I can't feel any malice in his words.]
321[Kate: Could it be a test? But who is he testing? Is it us? Or perhaps he wants us to leave the room for some reason? Oh, I'm so curious!]
322Kate [smiles]: Well I suppose I should go too.
323Kate [to Frankenstein]: Later bro!
324Frankenstein: !
325Grandpa: !
326Grandpa: W-what!? You have a sister!? When did this happen?
327Frankenstein: That's what I want to know...
328Kate: Don't worry about the details.
329[Kate [leaves]: Ah! If I had pretended to be offended perhaps I could have gotten him to buy me something later. Damn. Missed opportunities…]
330
331[Rael hurts M-21]
332Kate: Hmm. [I don't like that he got hurt…]
333Frankenstein: He attacked you at the school for no reason?
334Takio: Yeah.
335[Frankenstein starts releasing energy]
336Kate: !
337[Kate: Is he angry? Is he mad at him for getting injured? Or… could he be mad at the other one for hurting him?]
338[Kate: That's so strange. Whenever I got injured everyone just sort of shrugged.]
339Rai: Frankenstein. 
340Frankenstein [turns off energy]: Oh sorry master…
341Rai: I think you should pay him a visit. 
342Frankenstein: Yes master. 
343Kate: That's so strange…
344Tao: What is? 
345Kate [to Frankenstein]: Are you mad because he was injured?
346Frankenstein [raises eyebrow]: Yes.
347Kate: That's so strange…
348Frankenstein: Why is it strange?
349M-21 [irritably]: Is it because I was disposable? 
350Kate [looks at them]: No. No one cared if I was hurt. Not even me.
351Everyone: !
352Kate: I've never seen something like this before… 
353[Kate suddenly blinks as though waking up]
354[Kate: Oh I said something weird, didn't I?]
355Kate [smiling]: Oh! Ah… Nevermind! Just ignore what I said. It's not important. 
356Everyone: ?
357[M-21: Actually she was stuck with Aris and Yuri and they are a couple of psychopaths so that makes sense…]
358[M-21: But why does she keep trying to downplay it like that?]
359
360[Takio and Tao ask Frankenstein to make them stronger]
361Tao: We don't like seeing our friend hurt like that. 
362Kate: ?
363[Kate: They're doing experiments again? Because of that?]
364[Kate: They're fighting for each other? I've never fought for anyone, not even myself. If someone was going to kill me, I just let them…]
365[Kate: Fighting for someone…]
366[Kate: The only time I ever fought it was because I was ordered to…]
367
368[While they're in Lukedonia]
369[Kate is in the lab spacing out]
370[Kate: Fighting for each other…]
371[Kate: Is it wrong? Is it right? Is it wrong to try to get stronger? Am I wrong for not doing it?]
372Kate: This is so strange…
373[Kate: If I don't get stronger then I'm just relying on their strength. Is that wrong? Am I a burden? Should I leave?]
374Kate: …
375[Kate: But I don't want to leave… I like it here…]
376[Kate: Am I thinking about this too much?]
377[Kate: That guy from before said we gave up being human for power. It was never really our choice before, but it is now… If I do this, am I giving up being human for power? Does the reason why matter?]
378[Kate: I honestly don't care about the power… I just don't want to be a burden.]
379[Kate: Even if I did do what they're doing, how much stronger would I get? Would it be enough to matter?]
380[Kate: Frankenstein defeated Aris and Yuri like it was nothing. If he hadn't shown up I never would have gotten out of there. It was pure dumb luck.]
381[Kate: Hmm… Frankenstein. He didn't have to save me but he did… ]
382Kate [sighs]: How complicated…
383[Kate: When M-21 was injured I said it was strange… ]
384[Kate: Have I become like Aris and Yuri without realizing it?]
385[Kate [frowns]: I don't want to be like them. It's distasteful… But am I like Frankenstein and the others? Am I like neither? If this isn't who I am, then who am I?] 
386[Kate: Hmm… giving up being human for power? Maybe it's already a mute point. Maybe I'm already a monster…]
387[Kate: Although somehow the idea doesn't bother me…]
388Kate: Hm! So I don't care about the power and I don't care about being human? Is that it?
389[Kate: Is this who I am?]
390[Kate sighs]
391[Kate: I said I trusted them. Was that the truth? Maybe I just didn't care if they killed me… Maybe I lied without realizing it…]
392[Kate: Do I trust them? I don't know. What does it mean to trust?] 
393[Kate: Why do they fight? Is it to protect each other? Is there some other reason? Who are their enemies? Ours are the union. Is the union their enemy too?]
394[Kate: Why did they go to Lukedonia? Was it to get Seria back? Then are the Nobles their enemy? But Regis and Seria are Nobles… Are there factions among the Nobles?]
395[Kate: Actually come to think of it, what are Frankenstein and Rai? I never really thought about it… Are they Nobles too?]
396Kate: Huh. For some reason that never seemed important…
397[Kate: I guess it doesn't matter what they are. They're still the ones that saved me. Even if they were devils they've still done more for me than anyone else…]
398Kate [sighs]: This is giving me a headache… 
399Kate: Is this what normal people are like? Or do the answers just come naturally to them? Maybe they don't have to think about it like I do… 
400
401[After Lukedonia]
402Kate: Oh hey guys. How was Lukedonia?
403Tao: Well, we fought Rael again. And Frankenstein fought a family leader. And it turns out Rai is the Noblesse.
404Kate: I thought they were all Noblesse?
405Tao: No, apparently Noblesse refers to one person and that’s Rai. He’s one of the strongest, possibly THE strongest vampire.
406Kate: Huh. How about that?
407Tao: Also, apparently Frankenstein is a human.
408Kate: Well, that’s neat.
409Tao: Why aren’t you more surprised?
410M-21: Yeah, we were all shocked.
411Kate: I don’t know. I guess I never really thought about it. Didn’t seem important. 
412Takio: Are you sure YOU’RE human?
413Kate: Well, actually, all the experiment bullshit aside, I’ve never really been good at being human...
414Everyone: ...
415
416[After discussing the modified humans from the Korean government]
417Kate: Frankenstein, I need to talk to you about something. 
418Frankenstein: Yes. What is it? 
419Kate: Why are we fighting? 
420Frankenstein: ?
421Kate: I thought maybe your enemy was the union because you fought Aris and Yuri. But they you went to Lukedonia and fought the Nobles, even though Regis and Seria are Nobles. And now the Korean government? I don't get it… 
422Frankenstein: I guess that would be confusing for you. 
423Kate: And the other guys didn't have to fight at all but they followed you to Lukedonia. Was it to get Seria back? Did they want a rematch with Rael? 
424Frankenstein: Hmm. This is difficult to explain…
425Frankenstein: Kate haven't you ever fought for something? 
426Kate: No. 
427Frankenstein: Have you ever fought to protect someone?
428Kate: No. I didn't even fight for myself. You did that. 
429Frankenstein: ...Do you want to fight now?
430Kate: ...
431Kate: It's not that simple… 
432Frankenstein: Why not? 
433Kate: If I decide to fight, I'm not just deciding to fight. That's… a radical shift in who I am. 
434Kate: I never fought for anything before, not even myself. But I'm starting to care about all of you and I've never cared about anyone before either… 
435Kate: So if I do decide to fight… I think I could become a monster… 
436Frankenstein: I'm sure you're just overthinking it. 
437Kate [doubtful]: Aside from that…
438Kate: While I have combat capabilities, I wasn't designed for combat like the others. I'm not sure how useful I would be… 
439Kate: And I'm still not sure fighting is the best solution… If things don't work out here, we could always just leave. So I don't see why everyone is so determined to fight… 
440Frankenstein: Because this is our home, Kate. 
441Kate: It is? 
442Frankenstein: Yes.
443Kate: ...Is it my home too?
444Frankenstein: That depends. Do you want it to be? 
445Kate: …
446Kate: Would it still be my home if I… 
447Frankenstein: ?
448Kate: ...if I became a monster?
449Frankenstein: Kate. You're not a monster. 
450[Kate: Not yet… ]
451[Kate takes a deep breath and covers half her face with her hand and exhales looking at him between her fingers]
452Kate: ...Are you sure about that?
453Frankenstein: ...
454
455[Frankenstein tells them that Rai's power shortens his lifespan]
456Kate [quietly]: No.
457Tao: What? 
458Kate [angrily]: That's it! That's fucking it! Where the hell is he!? That stupid bastard! This is unacceptable!
459Frankenstein: Kate?
460[Kate leaves the lab to go find him and they follow]
461Kate [angrily]: YOU! Frankenstein said using your power shortens your lifespan! Is that true?
462Rai: Yes. That's right. 
463Kate: What the hell is wrong with you!? Are you suicidal!? Do you want to die!? 
464[Kate grabs a knife]
465Frankenstein: Kate!
466Rai: ...No, I don’t want to die.
467Kate: Then why the hell do you keep acting like your life doesn’t matter!? [Clutching the knife] You think you can save me and then just die on me!? Like I would let you!!!
468Kate: You people say humans are greedy? Well, I don’t know about other humans, but you’re goddamn right about me! You don’t have my permission to die, Rai! And if you get anymore stupid ideas I’m not going to kill you. Oh no! I’ve thought of something even better! I’m going to follow your example! [Stabs self]
469Everyone: !!!
470Rai: !
471Takio: What the hell!?
472Kate [laughing]: You’re goddamn right I’m greedy! Because I want to live! And I want you to live! And I want everyone else to live! And I won’t accept anything else! …I feel sorry for Frankenstein, having you as a Master. How many times has he had to put you back together? You probably drive him crazy every time you use your power… [Pulls out knife]
473M-21: Shit! Are you ok? We should take you to Frankenstein…
474Kate: SHUT UP! I won’t die! I’m too stubborn to die!
475Everyone: ....
476Kate: [wobble] You don’t have my permission to die, Rai! If your power comes from your lifespan then I’ll find a way to plug you in like a goddamn battery! Because you’re going to live! We’re all going to live! I will smash that attitude of yours! And I will smash anything that interferes with ours lives here! I don’t care if it’s the Union, the Werewolves, or Vampires! I’ll find a way to smash EVERYTHING! And I’m not going to die while doing it! I’m going to find a way to live! BECAUSE THAT’S JUST HOW FUCKING GREEDY I AM!!!
477[clutches knife]
478Kate: You better remember this Rai…. The next time you try to thoughtlessly use your powers.
479
480[After Kate stab herself. In the lab with Frankenstein and co]
481Frankenstein: Well, you'll live...
482Regis: Ok, but what the hell was that!?
483Kate: Oh. I guess you guys wouldn't know since I don't really talk much. 
484Kate: The truth is I've been changing for a while now. I tried to stay out of it. I figured you guys are strong so you don't need my help. I thought I'd just be in the way. But I can't deny it anymore. I have a reason to fight now. I care about all of you. 
485Kate: And then you told me about Rai and I… I just snapped. I have never been more furious in my entire life! He's trying to sacrifice himself to help us! Who the hell asked him to do that!? I never asked anyone for anything! Why the hell would I want that!? Like I would just let him...
486Kate: You guys do what you want but I'm not going to stay back anymore. I'm going to fight. 
487Kate: Frankenstein I'm going to need your help. Experiments, weapons, training, everything. 
488Frankenstein: Yeah… You told me you were changing, but I had no idea the change would be this violent… 
489Frankenstein [sighs]: Alright. 
490Kate: When can we start?
491Frankenstein: How about tomorrow?
492Kate: Understood. 
493
494[Sees M-24]
495Kate: Who's this?
496Tao: This is M-24. M-21's old colleague.
497Kate [stares at him]: ARE you?
498M-24: Um, yeah….
499[Kate stared at him and walks off]
500[Kate: Hm. I see. So his old colleague who was supposed to be dead just turned up out of the blue? Isn't that just a little too convenient? I guess he could be real, but…. Hmm.]
501[Kate: What could he be after? Well, I can't fight M-21 on this. If I do he'll choose his old colleague over us. ...Could they be after M-21?]
502[Kate: Hmmm. This is problematic. Should I talk to M-21 about it? If it's the worst case scenario and this person betrays us, M-21 will blame himself. And I really don't want to deal with that. ] 
503Kate: Dammit! What should I do?
504[So if I say something I could drive him away? And if I don't say anything, he might end up trusting this person and getting hurt?]
505Kate: Dammit….
506Frankenstein: You alright? You look like you have a lot on your mind. 
507Kate: Yeah….. I need to confirm something. M-21 is in charge of this situation, right?
508Frankenstein: You mean regarding M-24? Yes, he is. 
509Kate: I see…. 
510[Then I can't take action behind his back. It would violate his trust and there's no proof that he's a threat yet….]
511Frankenstein: … You know I've never seen you like this. I think this is the first time I've seen you so agitated. Does him staying here really bother you that much? 
512Kate: … I know you can't tell what I'm thinking right now but even if I tell you I'm not sure it would help.
513Frankenstein: Kate, please don't do anything rash. His colleague means a lot to him. 
514[Kate: I know. That's the problem.]
515Kate: He's the enemy. 
516Frankenstein: What?
517Kate: That's what I think when I look at him. My instinct says he's the enemy…. But I can't do anything about it without hurting him…. 
518Frankenstein: Do you have anything to base that off of? Is it only instinct?
519Kate: No, but even if you think about it logically it doesn't get any better…. Is there a way to minimize the damage?
520Frankenstein: What do you have in mind?
521Kate: We can't confront him. We can't chase him out. If we do M-21 might go with him. I don't want us to become divided because of him. He has access to the lab. Is there a way to make sure he's supervised?
522Frankenstein: Actually Tao already installed cameras everywhere. Even though I told him not to.
523Kate: That's good…. But is it enough? Can we install a tracker on him? And what about your lab? Is there anything valuable there he could steal?
524Frankenstein: There is data on all of you there.
525Kate [alarmed]: Can you get rid of? Or replace it with fake data?
526[Frankenstein: I wouldn't normally do this but she seems quite alarmed]
527Frankenstein: I can replace it with fake data, but I don't think we can put a tracker on him without telling M-21.
528Kate: Right….
529[Kate: That's fair. But I still don't like the idea of him being alone with anyone. I guess there's nothing we can do.]
530Kate: I hope I'm wrong about this but I trust my instincts. Thank you for taking my concerns seriously.
531Frankenstein: Have your instincts ever been wrong before?
532Kate: Not that I know of. And I was right about you wasn't I?
533[Frankenstein: That's true. She trusted us without knowing anything about us.]
534Frankenstein: Hmm. I understand. 
535
536[Fight with the 10th and 11th Elders]
537[Facing the elders]
538M-21: I'll try to buy some time.  You guys run. 
539[Kate: Admirable. But that's a stupid plan.]
540[M-21 causes an explosion. When the smoke clears Rai is still there, but Kate is gone.]
541M-21: What…?
542[BOOM!]
543[M-21 looks over and sees that Kate has attacked all three of them.]
544M-21: What the fuck!? You were supposed to run away!
545Kate: I did run. Just not in the direction you wanted me to. 
546Kate: So, which one of you is first? Or is it all of you at the same time?
54711th: You little… I'll take care of this!
548Kate [readies sword]: Fine by me.
549[11th elder rushes at her]
550[Kate blocks with the sword]
551[It's too strong and Kate is knocked back]
552Kate: Shit, he's strong. 
553M-21: Kate! I don't think you should be fighting him! You can't win!
55411th elder [smirks] : He's right. You should just surrender. 
555Kate [laughs]: So what?
556M-21: What!?
557Kate [smiles]: I know I can't win, but so what? Kate [to 11th elder]: You're stronger than I thought, but let's go for round two. 
55811th elder: Are you insane? Do you have a death wish? There's no way you can win!
559Kate: Even if it's just a second longer that's fine with me!
560[Kate: And besides, I have a promise to keep.]
561[11th elder: I guess she's just an idiot that doesn't understand the difference in our power. ]
56211th elder: Hey 10th, can I kill her?
56310th: Fine.
564[Rai takes a step forward]
565[Kate glares at him]
566Kate: Don't. 
567[Rai hesitates]
568Rai: Alright. 
569M-21: Is she going to be alright?
570Rai: … I doubt it, but she doesn't want me to interfere. So for now I'll just watch. 
571[Kate: I have to keep Rai from using his powers. If I can buy enough time maybe Frankenstein will show up. ]
572[M-21: Is she doing this to protect him? Even though she can't win?]
573[M-21: But she doesn't show any signs of giving up. She doesn't look like she's accepted she's going to die. In fact, she looks like she intends to win. But she just said she couldn't win?]
574[M-21: Well, I might have to jump in too.]
575[11th elder rushes at her]
576[Kate takes a step forward, ducks down and points her sword up]
577[11th elder becomes impaled on it]
578[Kate tosses him aside and follows, raining down sword attacks]
57911th elder: What the hell!?
580Everyone: !!!
581[11th: I can't believe I'm being pushed back by her! And she's actually doing some damage!]
582[Kate swings her sword and he catches it]
583Kate: !
584[11th punches her knocking her back]
585[Kate lands in a cloud of dust]
58610th: 11th are you alright?
58711th: Damn, I got taken off guard. I didn't expect her to be able to do that….
588[Kate suddenly darts out from the dust in her nano suit]
58911th: What!?
590Kate [smiling]: You forgot to kick me when I was down!
591[Kate knocks him back and renews her attack]
592[11th fires a huge energy blast knocking her back]
593[Kate gets up panting]
59411th: You...what the hell are you? There's no way you're unhurt by that!
595Kate [smiles]: Me? I'm Kate. 
59611th: Cht! 10th I'm going to have to transform to deal with her.
59710th: I don't think that's a good idea. We don't want to destroy the city. Are you sure you can't take her out as you are?
59811th [frustrated]: Unfortunately, no. 
599Kate [laughing]: Well, well, well. Where'd all your confidence go?
60011th [angry]: 10th!
60110th: No. Just fight her as you are now. Or if you want I can take over. 
60211th: Cht! No. I'll take her.
603Kate: Are you sure? Hasn't been working too well so far. Maybe you should take a break?
604[11th flies into a rage and attacks her]
605[Kate: I can match him like this, but I still can't win. I'm just not doing enough damage. ]
606[Kate: Hmm… Maybe I should try cutting him in half? I don't know if it will work but…]
607[Kate: Well only one way to find out! I'll just hit him harder!]
608[11th suddenly catches her sword]
609Kate: Uh oh.
610[Kate ducks, draws one of her short swords and stabs him slicing open his abdomen. ]
611[11th kicks her sending her flying then fires a huge blast of energy. ]
612Kate: Shit….
613[Explosion clears and M-21 has blocked it for her]
614Kate [surprised]: M-21?
615M-21: Yeah. 
616Kate [smiles]: You sure you're up for this?
617M-21: Stupid question. I can't just let you die, can I?
618Kate [smiles]: Fine. Let's do this. 
61911th: Alright I've had enough! I'm transforming!
620Kate: Last chance to back out. 
621M-21: Not going to happen. 
622Kate [smiles]: Fair enough. 
623[11th transforms into a big green praying mantis]
624[Kate suddenly doubles over laughing]
625M-21: K-Kate?
626Kate [laughing]: I'm sorry…. I can't… He looks like the jolly green giant!!!
627Everyone: ……
62811th [angrily]: Enough!
629[11th charges]
630[Kate and M-21 look at each other]
631[Then Kate jumps over and blocks his attack while M-21 attacks his abdomen]
632[11th is knocked back ]
633[They continue the assault]
634[Then 11th fires a green blade disk]
635[Kate blocks with her sword but it knocks her back]
636[M-21 catches her and they're both knocked back]
637Kate [panting]: Shit… 
638M-21: What should we do?
639Kate: We just aren't doing enough damage…. 
640[11th charges to attack, but there's suddenly an explosion]
641Frankenstein: What the hell is going on here!?
642[M-21 and Kate: Frankenstein?]
643Kate [smiles]: Perfect timing, bro!
644Frankenstein: Kate, M-21, what are you doing?
645Rai: Takio and Tao are missing. 
646M-21: We went to go find them.
647Frankenstein: I see.
648Kate: Also we kept Rai from using his powers. 
649Frankenstein [surprised]: Good job! I'll take it from here. 
650[Kate nods and they retreat]
651Kate: I was hoping this would happen. 
652M-21: You mean Frankenstein showing up?
653Kate [nods]: Yep. I figured he'd go looking for us so I wanted to stall until he showed up. 
654M-21: So, this was your plan from the beginning?
655Kate: It wasn't a guarantee that he would show up in time, but it was still better than your plan where you wanted us to run away while you go and die.
656M-21: …
657Kate: I knew from the beginning I couldn't win, but that wasn't the point. As long as I could stall for time there was a chance he'd show up. 
658[M-21: I see. So that's why she looked like that… (Kate: Even just a second longer is fine!) She never intended to give up. She was just buying time for this moment!]
659Kate: M-21? Thanks for earlier. When you stepped in to help me. 
660M-21: Uh, no problem. Still I can't believe you planned all this…. 
661Kate: Like I said it wasn't a guarantee, but still… this was the best possible outcome I could hope for. 
662Rai: I am also surprised. I thought you were just being reckless. But you did this to protect me?
663Kate: Of course. We both protected you. 
664Rai: From the beginning of my existence only Frankenstein has ever said he would protect me.
665Kate and M-21: ?
666Rai: I wonder when you two began protecting me. It feels rather good. 
667Kate [smiles]: Rai, I never protected you before because I thought you didn't need my help. Otherwise I would have stepped up sooner. 
668M-21 [nods]: Same. Both you and Frankenstein seem invincible. 
669Kate: Well I'm going to get even stronger. Until I'm as strong as Frankenstein! 
670M-21: Is something like that even possible?
671Kate: Doesn't matter. I'm going to do it anyway. I'll get strong enough so that you don't have to protect me anymore, Rai. And I'll always protect you because you're important to all of us. 
672[Rai gives a small smile]
673Rai: Alright. 
674Kate [chuckles]: Honestly, if you're this happy outside of Lukedonia you should have left a lot sooner! Maybe Frankenstein should have burned your house down. At least then you'd have no choice but to go outside!
675Everyone: ?
676Rai [smiles]: Maybe…. 
677
678[After the lab gets wrecked.]
679M-21: This is all my fault. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. 
680Frankenstein: No, what's done is done. Don't blame yourself. 
681M-21: …
682Kate: No. It is your fault. 
683Tao: Kate!
684Kate: But I don't regret it. 
685Everyone: Huh?
686Kate: I thought this might happen, but I was afraid to tell you about it. And I guess you still haven't realized….
687M-21: Realized what?
688Kate: I think you were their target. 
689Everyone: !!!
690Kate: Why else would they pick him? And I couldn't confront you about it because if it came down to you choosing between us and him, you would have gone with him. You might have been captured again. By the Union, or Crombell. 
691Tao: I didn't even think about that….
692Kate: It was either that or the lab. Though I'm not sure why they would choose to do a smash and grab like this. They could have stuck around much longer…. 
693Frankenstein: At Kate's insistence I replaced the data in the lab with fake data. 
694Kate [nods]: I wanted to put a tracker on him too, but we decided we couldn't do that without telling you…. 
695M-21: You did?
696Kate: Please don't blame Frankenstein. It was my idea. 
697M-21: No. I'm glad you managed to minimize the damage. But how did you know?
698Kate: I didn't. Not for sure. It was just instinct. I don't know who he is but he is not your friend. 
699M-21: You're right. The M-24 I knew would never have done this. 
700Kate: …
701Kate: I have a question. 
702M-21: ?
703Kate: When you were with him, did you lie to him? Or perhaps avoid telling him the truth?
704M-21: Uh…. Yeah?
705Kate: Then you must have sensed it too. Perhaps you didn't realize that was what you were feeling at the time but a part of you didn't trust him either. 
706M-21: I did? Is that why…
707Kate [nods]: I think so. I don't know why but my instincts are very strong. I never asked Aris and Yuri questions and it wasn't just because I was obedient. I knew they weren't trustworthy. So even if they did answer my questions they would lie. And I didn't want to deal with such pointless conversations. 
708Frankenstein: Huh. Well that explains a few things. 
709Kate: Well I'm also very observant and can usually answer my own questions. 
710Kate [to M-21]: Anyway please don't blame yourself. You were the one hurt the most by this.
711M-21: !
712
713Kate: Rai?
714Rai: …
715Kate: Thank you for saving them. I regret that you had to use your powers but I can't regret the result. 
716Rai: It's no trouble. 
717Kate: I still think your attitude is a little too reckless…. But I've never been happier about your recklessness. 
718Rai [smiles]
719Kate: Rai, I need to talk to you about something. It's about how your powers work. When you drink our blood, we get powers right? What about if we drank your blood? Would you get power from us?
720Rai: I don't know. I don't think it's ever been tried. 
721Kate: Should we try it? I don't know if it will work but I can't think of any other way to help you right now. 
722Rai: We can try it if you want, but I think the power gained would be minimal. 
723Kate: I think we should tell Frankenstein first, and if he approves I want to do it. 
724Frankenstein: No need for that. I was actually here the whole time. 
725[Kate: I guess he followed me. I guess he doesn’t trust me. Well, it doesn’t really matter. I wanted to talk to him anyway.]
726Kate: Huh. Well what do you think? Would it help? I don't know very much about this and I don't want to accidentally take power from him. 
727Frankenstein: I think it's fine if you want to try it. I doubt the power transfer would happen unless master wanted it to. 
728[Kate exchanges looks with them and nods. Rai cuts his hand and gives it to her and she drinks his blood.]
729Kate: How is it? How do you feel? 
730Rai: A bit better, but not much.
731Kate: What if the others did this as well? How much better would you be then?
732Rai: I think the change would not be insignificant, but it wouldn't last.
733Kate: I see. Well at least we can do a little something for you. 
734[Kate walks off]
735Frankenstein: Hm.
736[Frankenstein: I followed her because last time something like this happened she stabbed herself… I thought at least one of them would end up with holes in them…]
737Frankenstein: I can't figure her out. 
738Rai: There's no need to worry.
739
740[Training on the island]
741Frankenstein: Are you sure you want to do this?
742Kate: What kind of question is that? 
743Frankenstein: You could get hurt or even die. I don’t know how good you are, but….
744Kate: So, are those the rules?
745Frankenstein: Rules?
746Kate: Are we fighting to the death? Is it problematic if we lose limbs? 
747Frankenstein: … Are you saying you want to fight for real?
748Kate: No. I’m asking what the rules are. Are we really going all out? I need you to be specific.
749Frankenstein: How about I start off slow and see what you can do?
750Kate: Alright. You’ll have to tell me when to stop.
751[Kate has one long sword and two short swords. Frankenstein has his dark spear.]
752[Kate lunges.]
753[Frankenstein dodges and counterattacks.]
754[Kate ducks and rotates her body in such a way to kick him in the head. Then immediately follows up with a sword attack that pushes him back.]
755[Frankenstein: She’s better than I thought! And she still hasn’t used her nano suit.]
756[Kate: He’s holding his own quite nicely. But that’s no surprise since I’ve seen him fight a few times…. I still don’t really know what I’m supposed to be doing. I guess I’ll just increase the pressure until he tells me to stop.]
757[Kate jumps back and a bunch of dark spears land where she was.]
758[Frankenstein: How did she know?]
759[Kate: I’ve seen that trick before. Although, I wonder if I should have let him hit me?]
760[Frankenstein charges and attacks with the dark spear.]
761[Kate matches him blow for blow.]
762[Frankenstein and Kate: Hmm. I guess I’ll just have to go faster!]
763[Frankenstein slashes with the dark spear.]
764[Kate spins and counterattacks stabbing him.]
765[Frankenstein: She drew first blood?]
766[Kate: That can’t be right. Is he going easy on me?]
767[Kate: Well, it’s him so if anything it’s about to get a lot harder. The bigger problem right now is that I keep hesitating…. I wouldn’t hesitate in a real fight. In a real fight, I wouldn’t stop until my opponent is dead!] 
768[Kate raises the sword and waits.]
769[Frankenstein: Hmm. Maybe I should try a little harder.]
770[Frankenstein fires a spear at her.]
771[Kate blocks and charges.]
772[Frankenstein fires five more.]
773[Kate blocks or avoids them.]
774[Frankenstein makes dark spears rain from the sky.]
775[Kate: I remember this. He used it against the 12th Elder. I can’t avoid it. In that case…]
776[BOOM! The smoke clears and Kate’s in her nano suit.]
777[Kate: I’m sorry Frankenstein, but right now, you are my enemy.]
778[Kate charges. The nano suit has boosted all her abilities. Frankenstein is being pushed back.]
779Frankenstein: Well done! I really didn’t expect you to be this good.
780[Kate: No. It’s not enough. Could I have defeated the 12th with this? What about the other enemies? The more I can cut down, the fewer they have to deal with.]
781[Kate: I will cut down EVERYTHING!]
782[Frankenstein: She’s really going all out. I thought she would hesitate more, but she’s really going for it. [Frankenstein smiles] In that case…]
783[Frankenstein fires energy from the spear]
784[Kate: It's too strong.] 
785[Kate gets pushed back.]
786Kate: Hmmm. [I wonder if I can do that too]
787[Kate swings her sword and an energy wave flies out.]
788[Frankenstein blocks it.]
789[Kate: Huh. I really didn't expect that to work….]
790[Kate: Still, not as strong as his.]
791[Kate: I need more power.]
792[Frankenstein: Huh. At this rate it might turn into a battle of attrition.]
793[Kate raises her sword.]
794[Kate charges again. They exchange blows.]
795[Kate: He keeps blocking my sword…. Oh right, feet!]
796[Kate knees him in the gut. Then punches him.]
797[While he's on the ground she advances with the sword.]
798[Frankenstein kicks her in the gut and knocks her back.]
799[Then rains down dark spears.]
800[Kate's on the ground panting.]
801Frankenstein: You're really something. 
802Kate [panting]: I'm doing better than expected… but why did you stop?
803Frankenstein: Huh?
804Kate: You're giving me time to recover. Why? If you're enemy is on the ground you should finish them. It's what I would do…. 
805Frankenstein: Wow. You're really quite ruthless. 
806Kate: I'm not here to play games. I'm here to win. Even though I can't beat you with ten lifetimes I'm still going to get up, every single time…. 
807[Frankenstein: She fights like she's possessed…. And she's already strong enough to fight a family leader…]
808Frankenstein: Why are you so determined?
809Kate: It's more like… I'm just stubborn. I decided I would and so I will? 
810Frankenstein: … I feel like I'm fighting a monster….
811Kate [laughing]: Good. That's what I was going for. 
812Kate: Enough talking. Let's continue. I'm going to keep getting up until I'm unconscious or you tell me to stop. 
813[Five hours later]
814[Frankenstein: Shit. She wasn't kidding. That was one hell of a workout.]
815
816[Kate wakes up in the lab]
817Frankenstein: Oh you're awake. 
818[Kate sits up]
819Kate: Yeah…
820Kate [frowns]: How long was I out? 
821Frankenstein: Uh… almost two days… 
822Kate: And I'm still not healed? 
823Frankenstein: Well… you were quite persistent… 
824Kate: I don't care about that. I need to heal faster! You're telling me I've been sitting here being useless for almost two days! 
825Frankenstein [sighs]: Kate… maybe you should take a break… 
826Kate: We don't have time for that! I'm already the weakest in our group! 
827Frankenstein: [takes off glasses]: And I thought the other three were troublesome… Kate, why are you like this?
828Kate: What do you mean? 
829Frankenstein: The other three aren't this desperate to get stronger. 
830Kate: Well they should be. We're running out of time. 
831Frankenstein: What do you mean? 
832Kate: You said the union would send elders. 
833Frankenstein: Yes. They most likely will. 
834Kate: Then we have to be strong enough to defeat them. 
835Frankenstein: ?
836Kate: If we can't defeat them, what do you think will happen? Rai will use his powers again. 
837Frankenstein: !
838Kate: You still don't have a way to fix him, do you? 
839Frankenstein: No. I don't. 
840Frankenstein [sighs]: So that's why you're so desperate. 
841Kate: Maybe the others just haven't thought it through like I have… If we don't stop them Rai will be in danger. 
842Kate: That's why I don't have time for this. I've already been here two days! I need to heal faster… Is there any way to speed up the healing process? 
843Frankenstein: There are some experiments I can do… 
844Kate: Then let's do them. 
845Frankenstein: I won't be able to do much to strengthen you if you want to focus on this. 
846Kate: That's fine. I can't waste time sitting here like this. Just focus on making my recovery as fast as possible. I'll worry about the strengthening on my own. 
847Frankenstein [sighs]: Alright… 
848Frankenstein: Also, you're wrong about something. You're not the weakest. 
849Kate: I'm not? 
850Frankenstein: You may have started out that way but you're not now. You're as strong as Seria. 
851Kate: I'm as strong as a family leader? 
852Frankenstein: Yep. 
853Frankenstein: The injuries I gave you were enough to kill you several times over. If you were as weak as you seem to think you are you wouldn't still be alive. 
854Kate: ! 
855Kate: I thought you were going easy on me… 
856Frankenstein: Well I tried to… but you kept getting up like nothing happened… so then I hit you harder and harder, and… 
857Kate: Damn… I thought I was just being persistent… 
858Frankenstein: Yeah. Honestly, it was kind of like fighting a zombie… 
859Kate: Wow… 
860Frankenstein: Do you still want to go ahead with speeding up your recovery? 
861Kate: …
862Kate: Yeah. I still think that's the best plan. Sitting here this long is unacceptable. 
863Frankenstein: Alright. 
864Kate: Frankenstein? Thank you. 
865[Frankenstein sighs and smiles]
866
867[Fight with the 5th, 7th and 8th Elders]
868Seria: Regis, I don't care if it's dangerous. I'm the family leader of the Loyard family. It's my duty to protect them.
869Kate: I'll go with you. 
870Frankenstein: Alright. Be careful you two. 
871[Seria and Kate go to confront the elders]
872[Seria and Jarga fight]
873[8th tries to attack Seria but Kate blocks it]
8748th: Damn it! I'm bored!
875Kate: Oh? If you're bored I'll play with you. 
8765th: Yeah right. 8th was specifically designed to fight the family leaders! What makes you think you can take him on?
877Kate [shrugs]: Well then maybe I can't. But he said he was bored. So what do you think? Wanna fight?
8788th: No I'm definitely bored. Ok, then. Let's fight. 
879[Kate smiles]
880[Kate charges at him and launches a sword attack]
881[8th counters by firing a beam from his hand]
882[Kate dodge's and slashes at him]
883[The sword cuts a little but bounces off]
884Kate: Huh? So he's metal?
8858th [laughing]: That's right!
886Kate [sighs]: How annoying… 
887[Kate: This is probably going to damage my sword…]
8888th: ARGH!
889[8th charges and punches at her]
890[Kate grabs his arm and slams him into the ground]
891[Kate tries to stab him but is blocked by his energy shield]
892Kate: Are you kidding me? He has an energy shield too!?
8938th [laughing]: That's right! You can't touch me!
894Kate: Oh my gosh. You are the most annoying person I've ever had to fight! 
8955th: She's actually pretty good. But there's no way she can damage him.
896[Kate: Ok. So the only way I can beat him is with overwhelming destructive power?]
897Kate [sighs]: Alright. I'll just have to hit you as hard as I can. 
8988th [laughing]: Go ahead and try! There's nothing you can do to me!
899Kate [smiles]: Alright then!
900[Kate charges, but right before she hits him she disappears]
901[Kate reappears beside him and slams him into the ground]
902[Then she kicks him launching him into the air]
903[Kate jumps after him and slams him back into the ground with her sword]
904[Kate drops on top of him with her feet drilling him into the ground]
905[A crater forms around him]
906[Kate is about to stab him again but he fires a beam from his mouth]
907[Kate is knocked back by the explosion]
908[Kate suddenly reappears from the dust cloud]
909[Kate rushes at him and he tries to punch but she ducks and elbows him in the face]
910[Kate: Huh. He's powerful but he doesn't move well. ]
911[Kate bend's down, grabs his leg and pulls it out from under him causing him to fall]
912[Kate drops an axe kick on his head, then throws him]
913[He ends up on a collision path with 7th]
914[7th knocks him to the side]
915[Turns out Seria is over there. She also knocks him to the side, sending him back to Kate]
916Kate: Whoops~
917[Kate readies her sword like a baseball bat, getting ready for a home run]
918[Suddenly 5th knocks her to the side]
919[5th: If I don't interfere we could lose 8th!]
920Kate [getting up]: Oh come on! That was perfect! 
9215th: Yeah, well I can't just let you destroy him.
9228th [getting up]: What the fuck!? She actually did some damage to me! Now I'm really mad!
923Kate [sighs]: Damn it! I almost got rid of the annoying one! So now I have to fight you both at the same time?
9245th: Looks that way. I got to admit you're pretty good. I didn't expect you to damage him. Who are you?
925Kate: I'm Kate. 
9265th: Are you really a human?
927Kate: Well yeah.
9285th: The only human I've heard of having such power before is Frankenstein…. 
929[Kate smiles]
930Kate: So what are you? You don't look like a Noble. 
9315th: I'm a Werewolf. 
932Kate: Wow, really? This is my first time meeting a Werewolf. 
933[5th smiles]
934Kate: Still, isn't that kinda weird? A Werewolf being a union elder?
9355th: It's not that weird. After all some of the Nobles are elders as well. 
936Kate: Yeah, but I thought the union was supposed to be all humans. I understand why they would accept you and them. They obviously want power. But why would you want to join?
9375th: It's beneficial for us as well because we also gain power from them.
938Kate [skeptical]: If you say so. I still think it's weird. 
9395th [laughing]: I like you! Why don't you join our side?
9408th: WHAT!?
941Kate: Well I like you too, but no I'm not joining you. 
9425th: Why not? You could become even stronger. 
943Kate: Yeah, but I don't really care about that. 
9447th: Yeah, right. Didn't you give up being human for power?
945Kate: Well... you're not wrong but I'm kind of a bad example.
9465th: How so?
947Kate: I actually don't care about either thing. 
948Elders: ?
949Kate: I don't care about being human and I don't care about power. The power is just a useful tool right now, but if I don't need it anymore I'll throw that away too.
9507th: I don't get it. You say you threw away being human, but if you're not human, then what are you?
951Kate [smiling]: I'm Kate. Although technically I'm human, personally I identify as a monster. 
952Elders: ….
953Kate: Like I said, I'm a bad example. [Readies sword] Anyway, shall we get started?
9545th: …. Yeah, I guess so.
9555th: 8th stay out of it. 
9568th: What!?
9575th: She's mine now. I want to see how good she is. 
958[5th transforms her hands]
9598th: You've got to be kidding me…
9605th: …
961Kate: …
962[5th and Kate charge at each other]
963[They exchange blows]
964[5th swipes at Kate and cuts her arm]
965[Kate does the same to 5th]
966[5th: Hm. Maybe I should use a bit more power]
967[5th unleashes a blow that tears up the rooftop and engulfs Kate]
9685th: Hm. Was it too strong? 
969[Kate suddenly gets up from the rubble and attacks again]
9705th: Whoa! 
971[Kate: I don't think I can win against her. I don't think she's even fighting seriously yet.]
972[Kate: Well that's ok. As long as Seria and I can stall them Frankenstein will come.]
9738th: This sucks! Why am I the only one not fighting!?
974[8th sees Seria and 7th fighting]
9758th: Well she's distracted. I'll attack now.
976[8th attacks Seria]
977Kate: Shit!
9785th: That stupid! 
979[Seria dodges but is injured by 7th]
980[7th stares at 8th]
9818th: Sorry. I just wanted to attack so bad!
9827th [sighs]: Well the result would have been the same either way. You know that right? 
983Kate: Are you sure we can't kill him? 
9845th [sighs]: I wish…. 
9857th: I've lost interest. Attacking you is shameful in that state. 
986Seria: I don't understand. You've betrayed everyone and yet you think attacking me is shameful? 
987[7th turns back]
9887th: You know you can't win and yet you still want to fight me? 
9898th: Does that mean I can fight now?
9907th: 8th, no. Stay out of it. 
9918th: Awww!
992Kate [sighs]: Maybe I should fight the idiot again. It doesn't look like he's going to stay out of it. 
9935th [sighs]: Damn it. I never get to have any fun. 
994Kate [smiles]: You know, you're alright. Even if you are a union elder. 
9955th [smiles]: You too. It's been awhile since I had any girl time. 
996Kate [to 8th]: Hey dumbass! It's round two! 
9978th: What!?
9985th [laughs]: Oh you're fun!
999[Kate attacks 8th]
1000[Kate's attack glances off]
1001Kate: What the hell!?
10025th: Yeah, he gets stronger when he's attacked. 
1003Kate: Then why the hell did you stop me before!?
10045th: Because you would have finished him before he could do that. 
1005Kate: Dammit!
10068th [laughing]: This time I win!
1007[8th swings a fist and hits Kate, then he fires a beam after her]
10088th [laughs]
1009[Kate gets up from the dust in her nano suit]
1010Kate: Goddamn it! 
10115th: Oh? She's still able to fight?
1012[Kate [sighs]: Alright. Battle of attrition it is!]
1013[8th goes to attack]
1014Kate: Time out!
10158th: Huh? 
10165th: What?
1017Seria: ?
1018Union elders: ?????
1019[Kate takes off her sword and switches to her two short swords]
1020Kate: Ok! Thanks for waiting!
1021Union elders: ?????
1022[5th: Why does it feel so fun with her? Like it's not life threatening at all?]
1023[Kate charges at 8th, but right before she hits him she disappears]
10248th: Huh?
1025[Kate reappears behind him and attacks]
1026[She slashes across his back]
1027[8th turns around and punches but she arches back onto her hands and kicks him in the chin]
1028[8th head snaps back, Kate rotates and kicks him in the chest sending him flying]
1029[She charges after him and attacks with the swords]
10305th: I don't believe this.… Did she just change her fighting style!? 
10315th: It's not just a change of weapons. Her movements have become a lot harder to predict. A lot more acrobatic. 8th can't hit her anymore.
10325th: Still… she can't damage him. It's just a matter of who wears out first. 
10338th: AAARGH! Stop moving around so much!
1034[8th releases a giant explosion]
1035Kate: Uh oh. 
1036[Kate gets tossed back]
10378th: Argh! I've got you now!
1038[8th charges after Kate]
1039[Kate drops down and somersaults out of the way]
10408th: Huh!?
1041[Kate kneels and slices in an upward motion]
10425th: Whoa!
1043[Kate slashes his chest, then hits him with a knife handle slamming him into the ground]
1044[8th fires a beam from his mouth at her]
1045BOOM!
1046[Kate gets caught in the explosion and injured]
1047Kate [panting]: Shit… he packs a hell of a punch…
1048[8th stands up and fires another beam]
1049BOOM!!!
1050Frankenstein: What the hell is going on here!?
1051Kate: Frankenstein?
1052Frankenstein: Kate, are you alright?
1053Kate: Yeah. Good timing!
1054Frankenstein: You should get some rest. I'll take over. 
1055Kate: But you can't fight them all by yourself!
1056Frankenstein: Kate, I wasn't asking. 
1057Kate [hesitates, then steps back]: Understood. But what about Seria?
1058[Lazark shows up]
1059Frankenstein: She'll be fine. Both of you step back. 
1060...
1061[8th is about to attack Frankenstein]
10628th: I'll take my revenge!
1063Kate: Seria. 
1064Seria: Mm.
1065[Kate and Seria attack together and smash 8th]
1066Frankenstein: What the-?
1067[Kate starts knocking pieces of him back with her foot like she's trying to hide it]
1068Frankenstein [sighs]: Kate…. 
1069[Kate: He was like that when I got here…]
1070Seria: ?
1071...
10726th elder: That's why I agreed to this! To keep you from going the wrong way!
1073Kate: ...?‍♀️
1074Kate: I don't believe this… 
1075Seria: ?
1076Kate: Are you seriously telling me you betrayed everyone and tried to kill Rai because you were jealous of Frankenstein!?
10776th: That's right! He was spending too much time with you humans!
1078Kate: Are you out of your goddamn mind!? Rai doesn't owe you jack shit! He can spend time with whoever he wants! 
1079Kate: Also I don't blame him one bit! Frankenstein is awesome! And you guys suck! I'd choose Frankenstein over you guys too. Every single time. It was never even a competition. 
10806th: AARGH!
1081[6th tries to attack Kate]
1082[Kate prepares to intercept but Rai stops 6th]
1083Kate: What? 
10846th: You! Calling him "Rai" like that! Who the hell do you think you are!? You're just like Frankenstein… 
1085Kate [ignoring 6th]: Rai you didn't have to do that. I could have handled it. 
1086[Rai looks at her and smiles then turns back to them]
1087Kate: Rai… 
1088
1089[Kate finds out they were poisoned to save the kids]
1090Kate [angrily]: You did what!?
1091Regis: Well we had to save the kids. 
1092Kate: What the hell is wrong with you!? Especially… [grabs collar] YOU TAKIO!
1093Takio: !
1094Kate: At least the other two have healing abilities! But you don't, you idiot!
1095Tao: Well Rael came and took care of it… so everyone is alright now.
1096[Kate let's go of Takio]
1097Kate: Fucking idiots! I prefer Rael's way of doing things. If you kill them it's not a problem anymore. 
1098Kate: Rael ?
1099Rael: ?
1100
1101Rael: What are you human toys doing here? Have you no shame? You should leave.
1102Everyone: Hey!
1103Regis: Watch your mouth Rael. They live here. If you don't like it you can leave. 
1104Kate: Huh. Human toys. That's a new one. 
1105Tao: Wait. Are you not offended by him?
1106Kate: I might be if I actually cared what he thought. 
1107Rael: You're one of those human toys too. You should watch your mouth! Or I'll kill you!
1108Kate [looks up]: And… who are you?
1109Everyone: …
1110Rael: I'm Rael Kertia of the Kertia family! I'm a noble of the purest decent!
1111Kate: Oh? Good for you. I'm Kate.
1112Everyone: …
1113Kate: So, are you saying you want to fight?
1114Rae: No. I’m saying I’m going to murder you!
1115[Kate’s mind: murder=fight? Same thing?]
1116Kate: Ok. I’ll go ask permission then we can go somewhere and fight.
1117Rael: Ask permission?
1118Tao: Uh, Kate you do know he has a soul weapon right?
1119Kate: So what?
1120[Kate: Seria has a soul weapon and I fight her all the time.]
1121[Rael: This arrogant bitch!]
1122Everyone: …
1123Rael [angrily]: You…. 
1124Kate [shrugs and leaves]
1125
1126[Frankenstein and Lazark are chatting] 
1127[Kate comes in]
1128Kate: Hey Frankenstein, Rael and I are going to go fight. Is that alright?
1129Frankenstein and Lazark: What!?
1130Kate: Don’t worry. We’ll do it in moderation!~
1131[Frankenstein: There’s no way that’s alright….]
1132[Lazark: Do either of them even know the meaning of the word moderation?]
1133Frankenstein: Wait! We’re coming too.
1134Kate: Really? You guys want to watch?
1135Frankenstein: Sure.
1136Kate: ‘Kay. Hey Rael, I got permission! Let’s go!~
1137
1138[Rael: What is with this human?]
1139[Tao and co: Is this really going to be alright? Rael is good and she’s like a mini Frankenstein….] 
1140Rael: Cht! I can’t kill you now cause there’s witnesses.
1141Kate: What difference does that make?
1142Rael: What!?
1143Kate: Hey guys, it’s ok if Rael kills me right?
1144Everyone: No!
1145Kate: Uh? It’s not? Well how about a bet then? If you win you get to kill me, but if I win you have to cook dinner?
1146Everyone: ………
1147Kate: Is everyone ok with that?
1148Frankenstein: Yeah, I guess…. 
1149[Rael: WTF even is this situation!?]
1150[Everyone: How is she so crazy!?]
1151Kate: Ah! You’re a Noble right? So if I cut off your arms and legs they’ll grow back right?
1152Seria: Yes, that’s right.
1153Kate: Sweet!
1154[Rael: WTF! I’m starting to get a bad feeling about this…]
1155Kate [takes out sword]: Alright. Ready when you are~
1156[Rael: I don’t even know what to say to this!]
1157Rael: Alright I’ll just kill you then.
1158Kate: Okay~ Give it your best shot!~
1159[Frankenstein: I knew it. Neither of them understands moderation….]
1160Lazark: Frankenstein, who is that human?
1161Frankenstein: She’s... one of the modified humans we rescued. 
1162Tao: Well, she is but… you left out the most important part.
1163Lazark: ?
1164Tao: She’s also his adopted sister….
1165Lazark: !!!
1166[Lazark: I-is this really going to be alright? She’s Frankenstein’s sister!? If she’s anything like him….] 
1167Frankenstein: ….
1168[Rael moves behind her]
1169[Kate moves behind him]
1170Kate: Oh~ You’re fast!
1171[Kate slashes and Rael jumps back.]
1172Kate: Oh, that’s right. I seem to recall that the Kertia family specializes in speed and stealth. In that case…
1173[Kate raises her sword and charges.]
1174[Rael and Kate match each other blow for blow.]
1175[Rael: What the heck? She’s just a weak human! How is she able to keep up with me?]
1176[Kate: Hmm. He’s still not taking this seriously. Maybe I should go a little faster…]
1177[Rael: What the heck!? Is she pushing me back?]
1178[Rael lunges and she cuts off his hand.]
1179[Rael: !!!]
1180Kate: Oh. Is that going to be a problem? We haven’t even really gotten started yet…
1181[Rael: Damn it! I was careless. I'll have to maximize my regeneration…]
1182[Rael regenerates his hand]
1183Kate: Oh good! I was worried. I wasn’t sure how long the regeneration would take.
1184Rael: You… HOW DARE YOU!?
1185[Rael takes out his soul weapon]
1186Kate: Alright! I think we’re finally getting started!
1187[Rael attacks.]
1188[Kate gets pushed back.]
1189[Rael uses his soul weapon and causes an explosion.]
1190Rael: Well that takes care of that.
1191[Kate appears out of the dust in her nano suit.]
1192Kate [smiling]: Sweet! I didn’t think you’d be this much fun to fight!
1193Rael: What the-?
1194[Everyone stares at Frankenstein]
1195Frankenstein: ….
1196[Kate and Rael charge at each other]
1197[Their clash causing explosions.]
1198[Rael: What the hell…!?]
1199[Kate lunges and he cuts off her arm.]
1200[Rael kicks her and knocks her back]
1201Everyone: !!!
1202Rael: Hmph! I win.
1203[Kate suddenly emerges from the dust and knocks him back]
1204Rael: W-what the hell? It's over! 
1205Kate [laughs]: Hahaha! You think it's over just because you cut off my arm?
1206Tao: Um Kate… your arm is off…
1207Kate [calmly]: Indeed it is. 
1208[Kate stabs her sword into the ground and picks up her arm]
1209[She holds it to the wound and it reattaches itself]
1210Everyone: !!!
1211Tao: What the hell…
1212Frankenstein: I didn't know she could do that...
1213[Kate flexes her fingers and picks her sword up]
1214Kate [to Rael]: Thanks for waiting. 
1215Rael: You… what the hell are you!? Are you some kind of monster!?
1216Kate [smiles ferociously]: You're goddamn right I am!
1217[Kate renews her attack]
1218[Rael: This can’t be! She’s not at all weaker than me!]
1219[Kate: Oh he’s good! It’s hard to keep up with him. But still this isn’t enough. If I want to defeat the enemies I need to be faster! And stronger!]
1220[Kate starts using her legs too and kicks Rael in the face snapping his head back.]
1221[Kate: No time to stop! Follow it up with sword attacks!]
1222[She uses the momentum from the kick to swing her sword back knocking Rael to the ground.]
1223Kate: Hmmm. Should I stop? Is it over? Hey Rael, are you getting up again? Or is this my win?
1224Rae: AAARGH!
1225Kate: Oh! He got up! I guess we can keep going!
1226[Everyone stares at Frankenstein]
1227Frankenstein: …….
1228[Rael charges. His attacks are quicker and more powerful than ever.]
1229[Rael: Why? Why? Why!? Why won’t she die? Why won’t she just stay down!? She shouldn't be stronger than me! That shouldn’t be possible! But I’m using my soul weapon and she still….]
1230[Kate getting pushed back. Shit he’s even stronger now.]
1231[Kate smiles but that’s good. I’m almost at my limit, which means the real fight is about to start! If this is my limit then I’ll just surpass my limit! I’ll surpass my limit as many times as I have to! Until I can fight them….] 
1232[Kate suddenly grabs his soul weapon and headbutts him in the face.]
1233[She then kicks him in the gut knocking him up into the air.]
1234[Rael flips around and dives straight at her.]
1235[They crash and the impact causes a crater.]
1236[Kate is knocked down.]
1237Rael [panting]: It’s finally over….
1238Kate: Who says it’s over?
1239Everyone: ….
1240[The dust clears and Kate gets back up again.]
1241Rael: But how…. 
1242[Kate smiles.]
1243[Rael: What the hell is she? Is she really a human?]
1244[Everyone stares at Frankenstein]
1245Frankenstein: ……...… 
1246[Kate: How? I always get back up. Does he have any idea how many times I got knocked down with Frankenstein? Even he was surprised. It’s like fighting a zombie.]
1247Kate [smiles wider]: Let’s go!
1248[Kate charges him again.]
1249[By this point her tenacity is taking a psychological toll on him. He’s too shocked. His movements are slower.]
1250[Rael: What the hell… is she!?]
1251[Kate stabs him with her sword and draws it out. Blood splatters everywhere.]
1252[Kate kicks him in the gut sending him flying.]
1253[Rael in panting on the ground.]
1254[Kate slowly advances and raises her sword.]
1255Frankenstein: Kate, that’s enough!
1256[Kate looks back. Then looks at Rael again.]
1257Kate: Oh, right. Sorry, I got carried away….
1258[Everyone: Carried away….?]
1259Kate: Hey Rael, we should do this again sometime!~
1260[Everyone: No, please don’t….]
1261Tao: So I guess Rael has to cook dinner…?
1262Kate: Hm? But Frankenstein stopped the fight, so does it still count?
1263Rael: ….. 
1264[Rael: W-what would have happened if he didn’t stop the fight…?]
1265Tao: Holy shit!
1266Frankenstein: I didn't know you could reattach your arm like that.
1267Kate: Yeah. I made a few modifications. And besides I asked you before if it was ok if we lost limbs, remember?
1268Frankenstein: Yeah, you did.
1269Lazark: That was crazy...
1270Frankenstein: So you can reattach all your limbs?
1271Kate: Yep.
1272Frankenstein: You sneaky little… you did this one without me!
1273Kate [giggling]: Hehehe! Caught!
1274Takio: Is this the first time you've done this?
1275Kate: No. I tested it before.
1276Takio: Oh I see.
1277Tao: W-wait. Does that mean you cut off your own arm before?
1278Kate: No. Don't be silly.
1279Tao: Oh ok…
1280Kate: It was just a finger.
1281Everyone: ……
1282Frankenstein: Kate, sometimes I worry about you.
1283Kate: Well don't you think it would be irresponsible not to test it?
1284Everyone: ……
1285Kate [to Rael]: By the way Rael, I don't give a damn what you call me. Monster. Abomination. Human toy. But if you lay a hand on them you best be prepared to lose it. 
1286Rael [chills]
1287[Tao: Best be prepared to lose a hand…]
1288Tao: !
1289Tao: W-wait a minute! Did you do this on purpose!?
1290Takio: What? What do you mean?
1291Tao: Remember before when Rael stabbed M-21? 
1292Everyone: !!!
1293[Frankenstein: She did cut off his hand during the fight…]
1294Everyone: No way! She didn't, did she!?
1295Kate [smiles]: Well… maybe a little… 
1296M-21: !
1297
1298[Kate and Frankenstein in the lab]
1299Frankenstein: It looks like your condition is a bit unstable. 
1300Kate: Probably because of the fight with Rael, but I don't think it's any more unstable than usual.  
1301Frankenstein [sighs]: I keep telling you not to push yourself like that but you never listen. 
1302Kate: And I keep telling you that we don't have time. 
1303Frankenstein: …
1304Kate: What? 
1305Frankenstein: I never know what's going through your head.
1306Kate: Well what do you want to know?
1307Frankenstein:?
1308Kate: I'll tell you anything you want to know. 
1309Frankenstein: Why did you fight Rael?
1310Kate: Well it seemed like he wanted a fight. So I figured, why not? I fight with Seria all the time, but it'd be good to get more experience. After all Rai said you fought with lots of family leaders, so I figured I'd do what you did and fight as many as I could. 
1311Frankenstein [surprised]: So you were copying me? 
1312Kate: Yeah. That's one of the reasons. I was also thinking about asking Lazark to fight since he's here. 
1313Frankenstein: What about you cutting off his arm? 
1314Kate [smiles]: That wasn't something I originally had in mind. I just took advantage of the situation to do that. I figured he might try to retaliate by cutting off my arm but I had an ace up my sleeve for that too. 
1315Frankenstein [shakes his head]: I can't believe you planned it that far in advance. 
1316Kate: It wasn't so much planned really… it was just that the opportunity presented itself so I took advantage of it. 
1317Frankenstein: …
1318Kate: Do you remember when I told you that if I fight I might become a monster? 
1319Frankenstein: Yes. 
1320Kate: Do you still think I'm not a monster? 
1321Frankenstein: …
1322Kate: I don't mind being a monster you know. But is this still my home? 
1323Frankenstein: Of course. 
1324Kate: ...
1325Kate: Frankenstein? Am I really your sister? I know it started as a lie and we're not blood related, but that doesn't matter to me. 
1326Frankenstein: …
1327Frankenstein: Do you want to be my sister?
1328Kate: Yes. 
1329Frankenstein: Then you can be my sister. 
1330Kate: Do you mean it? You better not try to take it back. 
1331Frankenstein: Sure. Why not? You can be my sister. 
1332Frankenstein: Despite you being a bit of a wild card, you're really quite adorable. 
1333Kate: I think you're amazing. You're like a strong big brother that can do anything. 
1334
1335[Frankenstein and Tao and co are in the lab]
1336Tao: Um…. Frankenstein how can she do that? She was even stronger than Rael… 
1337Takio: Yeah it took all three of us to fight him and we started doing this before her. Are you doing things with her you're not doing with us? 
1338M-21: …
1339Frankenstein: Nope. That was almost all her. 
1340Tao: But how… 
1341Frankenstein [takes off glasses]: Kate is unique. She doesn't fear pain or death. When we were in the lab we decided to maximize her recovery abilities. She's been constantly pushing herself to the point of collapse and then relying on her recovery to keep herself alive. 
1342Everyone: !!!
1343Tao: Are you serious!? Isn't that a bit too drastic!
1344Frankenstein [sighs]: I keep telling her to stop but she doesn't listen. So honestly I've just given up at this point… 
1345Frankenstein: That strength you saw is almost entirely her own. When we were on the island, I gave her enough injuries to kill her several times over but she just kept getting back up again...
1346M-21: Whoa…
1347Frankenstein: Yeah. Also, she's not stronger than Rael. 
1348Tao: She's not? 
1349Frankenstein: No. She just completely overwhelmed him psychologically. That's why she was able to win. 
1350Everyone: !
1351Frankenstein: Don't get me wrong. She is as strong as a family leader. In fact, her and Seria have been fighting regularly and Seria uses the death scythe when they fight. That's why she wasn't at all intimidated by Rael's soul weapon. 
1352Tao: Whoa. She really is your sister…
1353Frankenstein: ?
1354Tao: Who else could possibly be your sister? 
1355[M-21 and Takio nod]
1356Tao: Although she doesn't provoke people the way you do… 
1357Frankenstein: That's just my personality. But you're right. She's kind of the opposite of me in that regard. I provoke people without even trying. But she doesn't get provoked no matter what. She doesn't care if you insult her, underestimate her or are stronger than her. She'll come at you regardless. 
1358M-21: Damn… 
1359Frankenstein: Hmm. Actually I think the only time I've seen her mad was when someone put themselves in danger… 
1360M-21: Yeah, and she was mad at Rai most of all. Although that took an odd turn… 
1361Tao: Yeah. She stabbed HERSELF out of anger… 
1362Frankenstein: Yeah. I wasn't expecting that… If she had attacked master I really would have killed her.
1363Everyone [chills]
1364Frankenstein: For some reason the thing that seems to piss her off the most is people trying to sacrifice themselves for her. 
1365[They leave the lab]
1366Takio: Hm? What's that smell? 
1367Kate: I made cookies~! 
1368Everyone: … 
1369Tao: How can she be like that!? She's like a mini-Frankenstein one minute and the next she's making cookies!
1370[M-21 walks up and takes a cookie]
1371Takio: And why the hell is he so comfortable with this!? 
1372Kate: Hey Frankenstein, want some tea? 
1373Frankenstein [smiles]: Sure. Thank you, Kate. 
1374[Tao and Takio: ….]
1375[Tao and Takio: It's like it never happened…]
1376
1377[Kate discussing the traitors]
1378Kate: So the family leaders that betrayed everyone were the ones that were closest to Rai? 
1379Frankenstein: Yes.
1380Kate: …
1381Kate: Isn't that a bit hypocritical?
1382Frankenstein: ?
1383Rai: …
1384Tao: What do you mean?
1385Kate: You said that humans respected and feared the Nobles. And that having friendship with them was seen as a sign of power. 
1386Frankenstein: Yes.
1387Kate: Well isn't that exactly what they did to Rai?
1388Everyone: !
1389Regis: So… you're saying the traitors acted like humans?
1390Kate: Um. Yes and no. I'm saying that type of behavior isn't solely something humans do. 
1391Frankenstein: You're right. 
1392Kate: Actually if you define that type of behavior as human then I think that makes Frankenstein a Noble. 
1393Everyone: !
1394Kate: Frankenstein didn't care about the power. He cared about Rai. Even now he rarely uses the power he got from Rai. 
1395Rai: Hmm.
1396Tao: That's true. And we all don't care about the power either. We just want to be able to help. 
1397M-21: Does… that make us Nobles?
1398Frankenstein: Hm. It depends on the definition. In terms of species we're still human. 
1399Kate: Yes. 
1400Kate: Actually I like you both. Even if you didn't have power I would still like you. Although to be perfectly honest I like Frankenstein better than Rai. 
1401Tao: Are… you allowed to say that?
1402Kate: Doesn't matter. I'm all bold colors and sharp edges. If you don't like it you might as well kill me because I'm not going to change. 
1403Tao: You know they can kill you right?
1404Kate: I know. But so what? 
1405Tao: Aren't you afraid? 
1406Kate: No. How can you be afraid all the time? It's exhausting just thinking about it. Besides if they were going to kill me I'm sure they'd have a better reason than that. 
1407M-21: Yeah. That's true. 
1408Kate [to Tao]: And you got scared over cookies before! He's not going to smite you over cookies!
1409Tao: ?
1410Tao: What? I wasn't scared!
1411Kate [stare]
1412Tao: Ok, maybe I was. But I'm not anymore!
1413Kate [stare]
1414Tao: Well I'm working on it…. 
1415Kate: It's ok. I'm sure you'll get there. 
1416Tao: How come you're not afraid?
1417Kate: I don't know. I guess it's just not in my nature. I've never been afraid of death. 
1418Kate: What about you guys? Are you scared of Rai?
1419Takio: Hm. Maybe a little. 
1420M-21: I'm not. Actually I'm more scared of Frankenstein. 
1421Regis: That's true. Usually he's fine but when he gets mad it's terrifying. 
1422Everyone [nods]
1423Frankenstein: ?
1424Kate [laughing]: There you go Rai! You're not scary. Frankenstein is! I guess you'll just have to try harder. 
1425Frankenstein: ….
1426
1427[Frankenstein makes a deal with Crombell]
1428Frankenstein: By the way, M-21 I intend to ask for the info you wanted.
1429M-21: What?
1430Frankenstein: Master wants you to be able to fulfill your dream. I won't miss this chance. 
1431M-21: ...
1432M-21: No. That isn't necessary. Just make the deal about the kids. 
1433Kate: I don't see what the big deal is. 
1434M-21: But he'll want something in return. 
1435Frankenstein: Probably. 
1436Kate [shrugs]: But it's not like this is permanent. Especially if he wants something in the future, we can just screw him over in the future. 
1437Everyone: ?
1438Kate: What? 
1439M-21: You were going to screw him over like that? 
1440Kate: Were you not? I thought that was obvious. 
1441Kate: …
1442Kate: Wait! You're not telling me you actually intended to honor a deal you made with him are you!?
1443Frankenstein: That was the plan.
1444Kate: Are you crazy!? A guy like that would obviously screw us over the first chance he got! Why the hell would you intend to honor a deal with a guy like that!? 
1445Frankenstein: Because we need to protect the students. 
1446Kate: Well yeah, but I thought this was obviously a temporary truce at best! 
1447Frankenstein: So you think this won't work out? 
1448Kate: Maybe in the short term, but not long term! He just wants the union's attention elsewhere until he's ready to make a move! He's still the enemy! 
1449Frankenstein: Hmm. You might be right. But this is still the best plan for now. 
1450Kate: As long as you know who you're dealing with. You might make a deal with him, but there is no reason to trust that guy! It's not a question of if he'll betray you, but when. 
1451
1452Kate: So Seria's fighting right now? Should I go help?
1453Frankenstein: Well we're going to go over but maybe you should stay here and look after things?
1454Kate: But Rai is going?
1455[Rai nods]
1456Kate: If anyone should stay back it's Rai. And besides, Seria is my friend. 
1457Frankenstein: Alright, you can come. 
1458…...
1459Frankenstein: Seria has been kidnapped. 
1460Kate: By that Noble, right? Ignes?
1461[Frankenstein nods]
1462Kate: And Regis and Rael went after them. 
1463…
1464Kate: Well we can't all go. Someone has to stay back and look after things here. 
1465Frankenstein: Kate, you should stay back. 
1466Kate: No. Rai should stay back. You and me can handle it. 
1467Lazark: ...I'm here too.
1468Kate: Do you want to stay back?
1469Lazark: No…. Besides you need me to track them. 
1470Karius: Looks like I'm right on time! I will go!
1471Frankenstein: Ah, perfect timing. You can look after things here, Karius.
1472Karius: W-what? Come on… you want me to watch the house?
1473Kate: Karius is strong?
1474Frankenstein: Karius is strong. 
1475Kate: I still think Rai should stay back, but you'll do.
1476Karius: ….
1477Kate: And Rai, don't go using your powers like an idiot or I'll kick your teeth in!
1478Rai: ….
1479
1480[Lazark takes off.]
1481Kate: Should we really be splitting our forces like this…?
1482Rai: I will go ahead as well. 
1483Frankenstein: No.
1484Kate: Yeah, that's going to be a hard no. If you go off by yourself you're going to use your powers like an idiot. You should stay behind us unless it's absolutely necessary. 
1485Rai: ….
1486[Rai: You do realize I'm the master right?]
1487[Kate: You can't tell me what to do, dad!]
1488Rai [sighs]: We should hurry. 
1489[Frankenstein and Kate nod]
1490[They leave]
1491[The 9th elder attacks.]
1492Rai: Should I go ahead?
1493Kate: No. We can't waste time with this. One of us should stay behind and deal with this. Frankenstein, me or you?
1494Frankenstein: You. I will go ahead with master. 
1495Kate: Understood.
1496Frankenstein: Kate, are you sure you can handle it?
1497Kate: Don't know, but don't worry about it. I promise you I won't die.
1498Frankenstein: … Alright. We'll leave it to you. 
14999th: You can't leave. 
1500[9th tries to stop them but Kate blocks it]
1501Kate: No please, try that again. 
15029th: Hmm. Not bad. You might make a good test subject as well. 
1503Kate: Well that's dumb. 
15049th: What?
1505Kate: Well what am I supposed to get if I win? Your wrinkly old ass?
15069th: You should watch the way you talk to me, girl. I'm the 9th elder!
1507Kate [snorts]: Good for you. I'm Kate. 
1508Kate: You know I don't normally engage in trash talk, but looking at you… there's just so much material to work with. You look like some kind of evil dwarf. 
15099th: You need to be taught your place, girl! 
1510[9th's soldier attacks]
15119th: These soldiers were specifically designed to take down the family leaders of Lukedonia! You don't stand a chance against them!
1512[Kate: Why does that sound familiar?]
1513[Soldier attacks and Kate blocks it]
1514[She counterattacks sending it flying]
1515Kate: Oh! Now I know why that sounds familiar! It's just like the 8th elder!
15169th: You know of the 8th?
1517Kate: I'm the one that broke him.
15189th: …
1519Kate: Well this is awkward… 
1520[Soldier gets back up and attacks again]
1521[Kate transforms into her nano suit and cuts off his arm]
1522Kate: So what now, evil leprechaun? I admit the design of this one is better than the 8th and it doesn't have his obnoxious personality, but the power is a bit lacking. 
1523[The soldier fires a beam from its mouth]
1524[Kate blocks it and cuts off its head]
1525Kate: Or is it that I'm just that much stronger? 
15269th: Impossible! You defeated the 8th? And you defeated my soldier? But you're not even a family leader! Who are you?
1527Kate: I'm Kate. The breaker of your shit, you half remembered nightmare! 
15289th: …
15299th: I've changed my mind. I don't want you anymore!
1530Kate: Well at least we can agree on that you series of bad life choices. 
15319th: AARGH!
1532[9th attacks]
1533[He cuts her after image, and she appears behind him]
1534Kate: Bye bye.
1535[Kate cuts him in half]
1536[Lunark shows up]
1537Kate: Oh, hey 5th. What are you doing here?
15385th: Uh. I was told to investigate the 4th and 9th elders by the union. What about you?
1539Kate: Oh. Well they took some of our people so we came to take them back. 
15405th: We?
1541Kate: Yeah. Me and a few others. So are you going to fight us?
15425th: Is Frankenstein here?
1543Kate: Yeah. 
15445th: No. I've got no reason to fight you right now. 
1545Kate: ...
1546Kate: Cool. I'm going to take off then. 
1547[Explosion in the background]
15485th: What the-?
1549Kate [sighs]: Shit. That's probably them. I'll see you around, 5th.
15505th: ...
1551
1552[Rai kills Locktis]
1553Kate: Rai, was that really necessary?
1554Rai: Yes.
1555Kate: ….
1556Kate: Ok, what is your deal? Is there some rule I don't know about or something?
1557Rai: ?
1558Kate: Why do you keep insisting on dealing with the traitors yourself? Is it a vampire thing?
1559Rai [nods]: It is my duty as the Noblesse to deal with them. 
1560Kate: ….
1561Kate: But… that's dumb….
1562Everyone: !
1563Frankenstein: Kate!!
1564Kate: But it is! What the fuck is the point of us trying to get stronger to help him if he's just going to insist on doing everything himself!!!
1565Everyone: … [she kind of has a point]
1566Kate: Rai, you're not alone anymore! You can rely on us to help you!
1567Kate [sighs]: I swear you immortals are going to drive me insane…. 
1568Kate: You say it's your duty? Well can’t you delegate it to us? We will kill them unless you tell us not to. How's that?
1569Rai: ……..
1570Rai: … I will… consider it.
1571Kate [shaking her head]: So, where's this Ignes?
1572Frankenstein: She escaped. 
1573Kate: Are you fucking serious right now!? 
1574Everyone: ….
1575Kate [takes a deep breath]: Alright. Fine. Just another name on my list of people I have to kill….. 
1576[Explosion]
1577Kate: What the hell is that?
1578Rai: Muzaka?
1579Frankenstein: Muzaka! Here!?
1580Rai: I feel Muzaka’s energy.
1581Kate: So I don’t know who this Muzaka is, but I’m guessing that’s bad….
1582Frankenstein: Master I will…
1583Rai: No. It has to be me. Frankenstein, you and the others take care of the kids. 
1584[Kate: Based on the energy I’m feeling only Rai would be a match for him. Shit…. ]
1585Kate: Rai! 
1586[Rai turns]
1587Kate: Come back to us.
1588[Rai nods and takes off.]
1589Kate: Shit…. 
1590[Kate: I have no choice but to do as he says. I’d only get in the way.]
1591[Kate: Dammit! If he’d at least let us deal with Locktis before he’d be in better shape!]
1592
1593[After Muzaka wakes up]
1594Kate: Frankenstein. I need you to tell me who Muzaka is. 
1595Frankenstein: I don't think I have to tell you that. 
1596Kate: No. You do. Because we'll probably run into him again. 
1597[Frankenstein sighs: She has a point.]
1598Frankenstein: Muzaka is the former Lord of the Werewolves and he was master's friend. 
1599Kate: So they're not friends anymore? What happened? And why did he look like he was completely out of his mind?
1600Frankenstein: Muzaka had a daughter named Ashleen. She was a daughter he had with a human. That sort of thing was taboo so he kept her hidden. But she was killed by humans and he lost his mind to grief. Then he tried to kill all the humans and master stopped him. That's why master ended up in such a deep sleep. I thought Muzaka had died as well but it seems he is alive. 
1601Kate: He wanted to kill all the humans? Not just the ones responsible for her death?
1602Frankenstein: Yes.
1603Kate: And does he still want that? If we run into him will he try to kill all of us?
1604Frankenstein [sighs]: I don't know. 
1605Kate: I don't understand. Didn't he have anyone else?
1606Frankenstein: What do you mean?
1607Kate: Was Ashleen really the only one he cared about? You said he was the Lord of the Werewolves, didn't he care about any of them? And Rai was his friend. 
1608Frankenstein: There was one that he was close to. A Werewolf named Garda. She followed him often. And he did care about the Werewolves but he never wanted to be their Lord. He was forced into it because he was the strongest. 
1609Kate: That's stupid. Why didn't he just quit?
1610Frankenstein: I asked him that as well. And he did try, but it didn't work out. 
1611Kate: I see. 
1612Kate [sighs]: How complicated. Poor Rai.
1613
1614[After Tao and co fought Kentas]
1615Tao: And M-21 froze. I guess because it's the first time you saw a real Werewolf?
1616Kate [suddenly alert]: What?
1617Takio: Yeah, he froze…
1618[Kate suddenly punches M-21]
1619Takio: What the-!?
1620Kate: YOU FROZE!? What the hell is wrong with you!?
1621Tao: B-but it was the first time he saw a real Werewolf…
1622Kate: I don't give a damn if it's a goddamn unicorn! If it's the enemy, you kill it!
1623Kate [to M-21]: What the hell were you thinking!?
1624M-21: Sorry… you're right. I don't know why it messed with me like that, but you're right. I shouldn't have froze like that. 
1625Kate [sighs]: It better not happen again. 
1626[Suddenly they feel the Lord's power]
1627Kate: What the hell!?
1628Tao: Who's release power like that!?
1629Karius: Is that the Lord? What's going on?
1630
1631[After Raskeria gave Rai her soul weapon]
1632Grandpa: She did not do this lightly. Her power cannot be complete now and that could be very dangerous for her. 
1633Frankenstein: But she couldn't have known that would work!
1634[Kate: What the shit!? She stabbed him in the chest with a SOUL WEAPON!?]
1635[Kate [looks at Rai]: He seems to be alright… did it work? Did she help him?]
1636Raskeria [to Rai]: Well? Do you have anything to say? 
1637Rai: You shouldn't have done this. This power was meant for you. 
1638Raskeria: But also for you. He left it at your house. I don't want to rely on that. 
1639Rai: …
1640Raskeria: Don't look at me like that. I'm not weak enough for you to look at me like that. 
1641Kate [sighs]: Rai, I think the words you're looking for are "thank you"... 
1642Rai [looks at her]: …
1643Kate: Well if no one else is going to say it, I will. 
1644Kate [bows]: I thank you, Lord of the Nobles. On behalf of the Noblesse and those around him, I acknowledge your sacrifice and thank you. Although I'm not sure about the method you used, I cannot argue with the results. 
1645[Kate: I mean seriously! You jammed a SOUL WEAPON INTO HIS CHEST!!!]
1646Lord: Guthrel, who is this one? I didn't see her last time. 
1647Grandpa: That is the human called Kate, Lord.
1648Lord: Is she a recent addition?
1649Grandpa: No. I saw her here last time as well. 
1650Lord: How interesting that you would be the one to thank me… 
1651
1652[Frankenstein discussing giving them the dark power]
1653Frankenstein [smiling evilly]: Actually that crazy thing is gonna love this. It's always wanted you guys. 
1654Tao: Who wanted us?
1655Frankenstein: Oh I think you know. You guys have met him before…
1656Tao: You don't mean… the dark spear?
1657Frankenstein: Yep. It's absorbed quite a few souls recently. I can separate them out and give them to you guys. 
1658Tao and Takio: …
1659Frankenstein: I'll give you some time to think about it. 
1660Tao: No, I'll do it. 
1661Takio: Me too.
1662Frankenstein: No, you really should think about it. There's no guarantee this will work. And even if it does that power is painful to use. The dark spear always tries to eat its host.
1663Tao: No, I'm still going to do it. 
1664Takio: Same. 
1665Kate: You guys are too reckless. Just because Frankenstein can do it doesn't mean we can. 
1666Kate [to Frankenstein]: What about you? Is this safe for you? Will giving us this power weaken you?
1667Frankenstein: Actually it would probably make it easier for me to control. But you're right. Just because I can do it doesn't mean you can. 
1668Kate: So what's the secret to it? Is it just a contest of wills?
1669Frankenstein: Hmm. Yeah basically. 
1670Kate: Oh. In that case I'll be fine. 
1671Tao: Really?
1672Kate: Yeah. What about you guys? Do you think you can do it?
1673Tao: I think so.
1674Takio: Yeah. 
1675Kate: You'd better be right. I get very upset if people I care about die.
1676Frankenstein: Are you sure, Kate?
1677Kate: Yes.
1678Frankenstein: What about you guys?
1679Tao and Takio: Yes.
1680Frankenstein [sighs]: Alright. Good luck guys.
1681
1682[Fighting the power of the dark spear]
1683Dark: Hehehe! You belong to us now! Just give in. Let it happen! It's useless to fight us!
1684Kate: ….
1685Dark: Just give in. We will take your body!
1686Kate: ….
1687Kate: So… you're the power of the dark spear?
1688Dark: … yes.
1689Kate: ...Is that all?
1690Dark: What!?
1691Kate: Is that all you got? You're just talking. You haven't really done anything? Is it because you're not capable of doing anything?
1692Dark: You! I WILL TAKE YOUR BODY!!!
1693Kate: Well you can try.
1694Dark: I WILL DEVOUR YOUR SOUL!!!
1695Kate: Oh really? Is that a challenge? It sounds like you're challenging me.
1696[Kate's power rises.]
1697Kate: You say you'll eat me? Well let's just see who eats who! I'll devour you right back! 
1698[Back in the real world.]
1699[Kate starts laughing evilly]
1700Kate: Hehehe. HAHAHAHA! HA!!
1701Regis: Is… she alright?
1702Frankenstein: ...I think she's being taken over by the power of the dark spear. 
1703[The dark power around Kate slowly retracts.]
1704Kate: Cht! That was lame! It just gave up…. 
1705Frankenstein: Wait. What happened?
1706Kate: Oh. Well, it threatened to eat me. So I threatened to eat it right back. But then it gave up. 
1707[Frankenstein: stare]
1708Frankenstein: But… didn't it hurt?
1709Kate: Oh yeah well, I'm use to pain.
1710Frankenstein: ……
1711Kate: Well think about it. When you first met me my body was being torn apart but even you said you couldn't tell. And all of the times I was training and fighting, how many times did I get knocked down? But I got back up each time. It wasn't that your attacks didn't have any effect. I just don't let things like that stop me. 
1712Frankenstein: …… [That's true but still… saying that and acting on it are two different things…]
1713Kate: Hmmm.
1714[Kate makes the power manifest in her hand and plays around with it.]
1715Kate: This is kind of neat~
1716[Frankenstein: That power should be burning her hand like acid… but she doesn't seem to be affected at all…. ]
1717Kate: Well I guess I'll go practice with this. See you later~
1718
1719Karius: Yeah… we should stop. 
1720M-21: No. Keep going. 
1721Tao: What? But you can barely stand!
1722Takio: Yeah. If it hasn't happened by now I don't think it will. 
1723M-21: No. It's different. I still have a sense of it this time. 
1724[Karius takes out his soul weapon]
1725Regis: Karius! What are you doing!? He can barely stand!
1726Karius: Well this is the only thing I haven't tried yet. [to M-21] What do you think? In order to survive you'll have to transform. If you don't you'll die. 
1727M-21: Yeah. Let's do it. 
1728Tao: I really don't think this is a good idea….
1729Takio: Yeah. I don't either….
1730M-21: I heard you guys screaming….
1731Takio and Tao: ?
1732M-21: Even though the lab is far away… I could still hear you screaming. 
1733Tao: …
1734Tao: I understand. We won't try to stop you. 
1735Takio: You better do this and survive. 
1736Kate: ...
1737Kate: I'm still against this. It's too risky. 
1738M-21: I'm guessing you haven't started doing what they're doing yet? 
1739Kate: Uh… no actually I already finished…. 
1740M-21 and Karius: What!?
1741[Kate makes the dark power appear in her hand]
1742M-21: What the hell!?
1743Tao [nods]: Yeah… even Frankenstein was surprised. He was going to do it in stages like with us, but she wasn't fazed at all. So he asked if she wanted to do it all at once and she said yes. 
1744Takio [nods]: Yeah… I don't know how she's able to do that…. He just did a little bit with us but it was so painful…. 
1745[Kate makes the power disappear]
1746Kate: Well as soon as he said it was a contest of wills I knew I'd be fine. I'm more worried about you guys. Honestly, I feel kind of bad now… like I'm not putting in enough effort…. 
1747M-21: …
1748M-21: I still want to do this. 
1749Kate: …
1750Kate [sighs]: I can't stop you but you'd better survive. If you don't I will follow you to hell and drag you back out myself. 
1751M-21 [sighs]: You know… if it were anyone else saying that I wouldn't think they were serious, but knowing you you'd probably find a way to do it….
1752Kate: Damn right. 
1753Kate: There is one bit of advice I can give you guys. When I'm fighting my attitude is "if at first you don't succeed, try hitting them harder". 
1754Everyone: !?
1755Tao: Is… that what you've been doing this whole time? Even with the dark power? 
1756Kate: Pretty much. It's been working pretty well so far. 
1757Regis: Wow….
1758Karius [sighs]: Alright. Let's do this. 
1759[Everyone steps back and gives M-21 some space]
1760Karius: You better transform and block this like it's nothing. 
1761[Karius fires his soul weapon]
1762[M-21: If at first you don't succeed… try hitting them harder!]
1763[BOOM!]
1764[M-21 transforms into a Werewolf]
1765Regis: Whoa… did it work?
1766[M-21 howls]
1767Frankenstein: Hm? 
1768Frankenstein [smiles]: I guess he finally succeeded. 
1769Tao: He did it!
1770[M-21's head snaps around to look at him]
1771Tao: Uh oh.
1772Regis: Is he alright? 
1773Tao: That part is a problem. He can't maintain his awareness in that form….
1774Regis: So then what happens? 
1775Tao: He attacks indiscriminately.
1776Regis: Oh….
1777Tao: Let's test it out. [to M-21] Hey M-21! Can you hear me?
1778[M-21 turns to him, eyes gleaming]
1779Regis: Oh he can hear you alright…. 
1780Karius: Shit! 
1781[M-21 attacks Tao and Regis]
1782[He swipes his claws at him]
1783[Kate stops him by blocking his hand]
1784[The impact rocks the ground around them]
1785[Karius knocks him out of the way]
1786Karius: Kate! Are you alright!?
1787Kate: I'm fine. 
1788Tao: Whoa! I can't believe she blocked his attack like that…. 
1789Karius: You guys should go back. 
1790Tao and co: ?
1791Karius: You've seen your friend so go back. I have to stop him from running wild and you'll just be in the way.
1792Tao [sighs]: He's right. We should go back. 
1793Kate: Nah. You guys go ahead. I'm going to stay here awhile. 
1794Tao: Kate?
1795Kate: Even if I go back there's nothing for me to do. Unlike you guys I already finished. 
1796Takio: But isn't that dangerous? He can't control himself and he's really strong in that form…. 
1797Kate: It's not dangerous for me. His movements are really simple and it will give me a chance to practice using this power. Besides, this is kind of fun. 
1798Tao: …
1799Tao: Okay… I guess we'll see you later. 
1800[M-21 charges at her]
1801Kate: Hey, how's your day going?
1802[Kate blocks him and tosses him into a boulder]
1803[Kate fires the dark power at him but it just glances off]
1804Kate: Huh. That did nothing. I guess it's not strong enough. 
1805Karius: Kate, are you sure you're okay?
1806Kate: Yeah. You can just keep watch. 
1807[Kate looks at M-21]
1808Kate: Shit. I didn't bring my sword with me. Well I guess I'll do this then…. 
1809[Kate uses the power to give herself black claws]
1810Karius: Whoa…. 
1811Kate [smiles]: Alright. Let's see how this works. 
1812[M-21 attacks and chases her]
1813[Kate jumps back, then rushes forward and attacks with her claws]
1814[They clash and exchange blows]
1815[Kate is able to dodge or block his but she cuts him]
1816[Kate: Hmm. He's not defending at all. He's just attacking blindly.]
1817Kate: Well the claws work well. Let's try something else.
1818[Kate morphs the dark power into whip like tentacles]
1819Karius: Wow. She's good at manipulating that power. 
1820[Kate wraps a tentacle around his leg and tosses him up into the air]
1821[M-21 flips around to attack her]
1822[But she smacks him down with a whip]
1823Kate: Huh. That's strange. Am I hesitating? But I don't hesitate. Even when I fight Frankenstein…. 
1824[Kate wraps a tentacle around him and slams him into a tree]
1825[She changes the tentacle to vines and ties him to the tree]
1826[Kate: What's wrong with me? It's like I don't want to hurt him.]
1827[Kate: But there's no reason for me to hold back. With his regeneration he'll be fine even if I do hurt him….]
1828[M-21 struggles against the vines]
1829Kate: Hmmm. How strange…
1830[M-21 breaks free of the vines and attacks her]
1831[He pins her down and starts punching]
1832Karius: Kate!
1833[Karius fires an arrow and knocks M-21 off her]
1834[Karius jumps down and lands between the two of them]
1835Karius: Kate! Are you alright?
1836[Kate gets up from the dust]
1837Kate: What do you think you're doing?
1838Karius: Huh?
1839Kate: I didn't ask for your help. Stay out of it. 
1840Karius: !?
1841[Karius: What the hell!?]
1842Karius: …
1843Karius: Alright…. 
1844[Karius steps back]
1845[Kate: Why… did I say that? Karius wasn't wrong to try to help me….]
1846Kate: Well there's at least one more thing I want to try…. 
1847[Kate turns the dark power into thin wires that sway around her]
1848[M-21 gets up confused]
1849Kate: Hey! Over here!
1850[M-21 looks at her, then howls and charges]
1851[Kate turns the wires into a wall in front of her and he runs straight into it and becomes entangled]
1852Kate: Hey buddy!
1853[M-21 snarls at her]
1854[Kate makes the wires cut him and disappear]
1855[BOOM!]
1856[M-21 turns back into normal]
1857[Kate looks at M-21 laying on the ground]
1858[Kate: Hmm. Could it be… do I have feelings for him?]
1859Karius: Kate, are you ok? 
1860Kate: I'm fine. 
1861[Karius: She's staring at him like he's a puzzle she can't figure out….]
1862[M-21 starts to wake up]
1863M-21: Ugh… Ow!
1864Karius: Oh hey! You're awake!
1865Kate: That was quicker than I expected. 
1866M-21: Yeah… what happened? I didn't hurt anyone, did I?
1867Kate: Nope. We're all fine. 
1868M-21: What about the others?
1869Karius: I sent them back after you transformed.
1870M-21: I see. But why are you here Kate?
1871Karius: She wanted to stay. 
1872Kate [shrugs]: Even if I went back there was nothing for me to do. 
1873M-21: I guess that's true. 
1874Kate: How are you feeling?
1875M-21: Like I got hit by a truck…. 
1876Kate: Huh. I wasn't that hard on you….
1877M-21: What do you mean?
1878Karius: Yeah. Kate fought you when you were out of it. I just stood watch. 
1879M-21: What!?
1880Kate: It wasn't that hard. Your attacks were simple. And besides it gave me a chance to use this power. 
1881M-21: Huh. 
1882Kate: I guess it's the cumulative fatigue. Or maybe transforming is just hard on you. 
1883Karius: It's probably because of the state he was in before rather than anything you did. 
1884Kate: That's true. You weren't very gentle….
1885Karius: …
1886Kate: Hm. I wonder if you've crossed species. 
1887M-21: What?
1888Kate: Well you were a human, but I wonder if now you're a Werewolf. There seems to be very little difference if any….
1889M-21: ...
1890[M-21: Is that true? Am I a Werewolf now?]
1891Kate: Does that bother you?
1892M-21: …
1893Kate: I don't see why it should. 
1894M-21: I just wanted to be a human…. 
1895Kate: Why? What's so good about being a human? 
1896M-21: I just wanted to be normal… not a monster….
1897Kate: I don't understand. You tried so hard to transform and now you've succeeded. You should be happy but instead you look like you're in mourning. Aren't you being contradictory? 
1898M-21: ...
1899Kate: If you wanted to be a human so bad then why transform in the first place? 
1900Kate [sighs]: Karius? Can you give us some time alone?
1901Karius: Uh. Sure. 
1902[Karius leaves]
1903Kate: Seriously. I'm getting tired of your halfhearted attitude. 
1904M-21: ?
1905Kate: You want the power but then you don't want the power. You want to be human but then you transform into a Werewolf. Just pick a side already! 
1906M-21: But it's not that simple…. We were turned into monsters against our will…. 
1907Kate: So what? 
1908M-21: !
1909Kate: I was too you know. Does being a monster make you less worthy of life? Is there only value in human life? What about the Nobles like Karius? What about Regis and Seria? What about Rai? Are they monsters to you? 
1910M-21: No. That's not what I meant.
1911Kate: Then stop mourning the life you didn't have. 
1912M-21: !
1913Kate: I know it wasn't your choice, but why can't you just accept yourself?
1914M-21: !!!
1915Kate: I happen to like our life right now. Even if it was my choice I'd still choose being a monster. 
1916Kate: What about you? If it was your choice would you just be an ordinary person, or would you choose to be a monster? If you were an ordinary person you wouldn't be with Rai and Frankenstein and all the rest of us. Would you really give that up? 
1917M-21: I… don't know….
1918M-21: In the past I definitely would have said yes, but I do like being here with everyone…. 
1919Kate [sighs]
1920M-21: …
1921Kate: …
1922M-21: By the way, how can you do that with the dark power? It's supposed to be really painful but you're not affected by it at all. 
1923Kate: Oh it is painful. I just don't care. 
1924M-21: What? 
1925Kate: You don't know… well maybe you do… but my time with Aris and Yuri wasn't exactly pleasant…. I suspect it was similar to yours. 
1926M-21: You mean…. 
1927Kate: ...
1928Kate: Well I guess it was good for something after all.
1929M-21: It sounds like you were in hell…. 
1930Kate: I suppose that's not an inaccurate description. 
1931M-21: …
1932Kate: Don't you look at me like that. 
1933M-21: Like what?
1934Kate [angrily]: I am not something to be pitied! 
1935M-21: I just feel bad that all that happened to you….
1936Kate: Well don't! I am not some weak pitiful creature! I am Kate! Did a lot of bad things happen to me? Yes, they did. But that is not who I am! 
1937Kate: I won't make excuses for who I am or try to pretend it didn't happen. But don't you dare look at me like that! That past might be a part of me but that is not who I am! 
1938[M-21 stunned]
1939M-21: Sorry…. 
1940Kate [exhales]: It's fine. Forget about it. 
1941M-21: ...
1942M-21: You know you keep surprising me. When I first met you… I thought you were kind of a bitch. 
1943[Kate snorts]
1944M-21: I never would have expected you to fight the way you fight or do all the impossible things you keep doing. And even though you could pity yourself you don't. 
1945Kate: That's not who I am. Pity never helped anyone. Even if my past is filled with pain I'll just turn that pain into my power. 
1946M-21: …
1947Kate: …
1948Kate: Actually I have a question. You were treated as a disposable experiment, right? 
1949M-21: Yeah. 
1950Kate: You don't still think of yourself that way, do you?
1951M-21: ? 
1952Kate [looks at him]: You're not expendable to us. 
1953M-21: !
1954Kate: We all care about you. Even if you didn't do all this, we would still see you as one of us. You don't have to risk your life to belong here. You don't have to 'earn' a place here. If you really hate being a Werewolf that much maybe you should stop. 
1955M-21: …
1956[M-21: I don't know what to say…]
1957Kate: It's up to you. I do this because I want to. I never had a reason to fight before, but now I do. I can't stand the thought of the people I care about sacrificing themselves for me. That's why I fight. And that's why Rai drives me nuts. I don't know how Frankenstein puts up with him…. 
1958M-21: ...
1959M-21: You know how I lost all my previous colleagues…
1960Kate: Yeah. I heard. 
1961M-21: We made a promise to each other that even if it was only one of us, that person had to live on. 
1962Kate: …
1963Kate: Are you saying you won't die on me? 
1964M-21: Yeah… I guess I am….
1965Kate: Then I won't die either. 
1966Kate [smiles]: And even if I did, I'm sure it would just be a minor inconvenience. I'll kick death's ass too. 
1967M-21 [snorts]: Somehow I believe you. You're one of the most indestructible people I've ever met. 
1968
1969Frankenstein: Kate, you seem to have an aptitude for dealing with that dark power. Why is that?
1970Kate: Hmm. I don't know. 
1971Frankenstein: I was thinking about giving you even more. I'm kind of curious about what your limits are. 
1972Kate: Is it safe for you?
1973Frankenstein: I can't guarantee it will be safe for you-
1974Kate: No. Is it safe for *you*?
1975Frankenstein: Me?
1976[Kate nods]
1977Kate: You said you could separate out the recent souls but if you give me more power you'll be messing with the older souls, right?
1978Frankenstein: It's true. It might not be the best idea. 
1979Kate: If it's safe for you then I'll do it, but I don't want to put you at risk. 
1980Frankenstein: Why is that your concern? Not if it's safe for you? Or if it's too much for you to handle? 
1981Kate: You're my brother. 
1982Frankenstein: !
1983Kate: Naturally you matter more to me than some power. 
1984Kate [sighs]: Plus sometimes I get a little worried about you. You're just like Raizel. You try to bite off more than you can chew because you want to protect him and all of us. Not that I don't understand how you feel, but I worry that you'll try to take on something that's beyond you. 
1985Kate: Just like with this power. Maybe you can do it but what if it messes with you during battle? Or what if you don't have the power you need because you gave it to me? I'm pretty good but I'm nowhere near your level when it comes to battle. 
1986Frankenstein: When you asked if you could be my sister… I had no idea you felt this way.
1987Kate [gives a wry smile]: It's because I'm a monster. I'm not good at showing my emotions. Maybe that part of me is broken or maybe it never existed in the first place. Whatever the reason, I've always been like that. I don't think the way other people think. And I don't feel the way other people feel. 
1988Kate: Maybe that's why I get along with you so well. Because even though I'm human, I suck at being human. 
1989[Frankenstein laughs]
1990Frankenstein: Yeah. That makes sense. 
1991Kate: I don't mind being a monster though. I actually kind of like it. And… I was glad when you said I could be your sister. 
1992Kate: Maybe that's the biggest difference between the me in the past and the me now. Now I have something to fight for. 
1993Kate: The me in the past didn't really care about anything, even whether I lived or died. Living was pain, but what difference did it make? It's not like if I died there was anyone to miss me. I think part of what kept me going was curiosity. Just to see how much I could take. That and the chocolate. 
1994Kate: When I met you I knew you were strong. I didn't know why you were there but I could tell you weren't mind controlled like Aris and Yuri thought you were. But it's not like I actually cared what happened to them. In fact if you killed them I could get away. So I didn't say anything. 
1995Frankenstein: I remember that. I wasn't sure if you were fooled or not… 
1996Kate: I knew, or at least suspected that was the case. Of course there was a chance you would end up killing me too, but I didn't really care. So I quietly gathered all her data. And just like I thought would happen, you defeated them. So I gave you the data and asked if you were willing to let me go with you. Even if you said no at least I was away from them. 
1997Kate: Although you didn't just take me in. Somehow you fixed my messed up body, and gave me a home. It might not have been your intention but that's how it turned out. 
1998Frankenstein: You know your actions make a lot more sense now. 
1999Kate: Do you regret it? I know Rai wasn't too happy you went there. And I'm still not sure why you were there in the first place. 
2000Frankenstein: ...
2001Frankenstein: No. Although ending up with a little sister was quite unexpected, I don't regret it. 
2002Frankenstein: I originally went there because I thought I could spy on them and find out who our enemies are. 
2003Frankenstein: I admit I was never quite sure what to make of you. Especially after seeing your body. It was completely wrecked but you didn't show any signs of it being that bad. Or that time you threatened Raizel and then stabbed yourself. Who threatens someone by stabbing themselves!?
2004[Kate chuckles]
2005Kate: I thought it would be more effective. 
2006Frankenstein: It was certainly original. I wasn't sure whether I should be angry with you or concerned. 
2007Frankenstein: It seems like I never know what's going through your head, but somehow you know what's in mine. 
2008Kate: It's probably because you have more facial expressions. 
2009Kate: But even so, I think we're on the same page most of the time. Probably because we both want the same things. 
2010Frankenstein: Like?
2011Kate: We both want everyone to be able to live here happily. We both want Rai to be safe. And we're both determined to destroy anything that gets in the way of that.
2012Frankenstein: True. 
2013Kate: It's just like I told Rai. You're not alone anymore. Now there's two of us. 
2014Frankenstein: …
2015Frankenstein: You're really that determined?
2016Kate: Of course. I meant what I said. 
2017Frankenstein: …
2018Frankenstein: Then I guess I can't give you more power. 
2019Kate: ?
2020Frankenstein: You're right. I didn't consider the effect it would have on myself. 
2021Kate: It's alright. I'll just find a way to work harder. We all need to be at the level of our enemies or this is pointless. 
2022Kate: And I'm glad you're not putting yourself at risk for me. That's what made me flip out on Rai. I happen to hate people sacrificing themselves for me. 
2023Frankenstein: Huh. Does this mean you're trying to protect me too?
2024Kate: Yes. I said I wanted *everyone* to live here happily. You're part of everyone. 
2025Frankenstein: That's weird…
2026Kate: ?
2027Frankenstein: I don't think anyone has ever tried to protect me. Maybe master, but I think it was more like he didn't want trouble… 
2028Kate: I'm sure you matter to him more than anyone. You've been with him longest. 
2029Kate: I'm not an idiot. I know I can't protect everyone the way you two can. That's why I keep pushing myself so hard. It might seem like I'm being reckless, but I'm just very determined. 
2030Frankenstein: You know you seem to notice things other people don't notice. You noticed I wasn't mind controlled, you noticed M-24 was an enemy, you even deduced that M-21 could be the target and responded accordingly. You even notice when I'm being reckless though I didn't realize it… 
2031Kate [shrugs]: It's probably because I'm a monster. I told you I don't think the way other people think. 
2032Frankenstein: Kate you're not a monster…
2033Kate [sighs]: See this is what I mean. You act as though being a monster is a bad thing, but I like that about myself. I *like* being a monster! 
2034Frankenstein: ?
2035Kate: Maybe that's not normal but that's how I am. I want to be a monster that's powerful enough to protect the people I care about. I don't care if I'm human or not. Even if I wasn't human, so what? If I was a vampire or Werewolf, so what? I don't care about race. 
2036Frankenstein: So then what are you?
2037Kate: I want to be a monster named Kate.
2038Kate: Haven't you ever felt like that? Like if you could protect Rai by being a bigger monster then it was better to be a monster? 
2039Frankenstein: !
2040Frankenstein [smiles]: Yes, you're right. I suppose there are many kinds of monsters… 
2041Kate [smiles]: Exactly. 
2042
2043[Tao and co are fighting the Werewolves]
2044[Tao and Takio are being taken over by the dark power]
2045[Kate walks up and grabs their heads]
2046Kate: That's enough!
2047[The dark power recedes and they collapse]
2048[Kate turns to M-21]
2049Kate: Can you fight?
2050M-21: Y-yeah
2051Kate: I need an honest answer, idiot. Can you fight them?
2052M-21: ...No. I need time to recover. 
2053Kate: Then stay back. It's my turn now.
2054Gui: Are you serious? What can you do?
2055Kate: Maybe nothing. Maybe something. I guess we'll find out. So which one of you is first? Or is it both of you at the same time?
2056Gui: Cht! I got this. 
2057[Kate takes out her sword.]
2058Kate: Fine by me. 
2059Rael: Is she really going to be alright?
2060M-21: I don't know, but honestly… I feel sorry for them. Anyone who hasn't seen her fight before wouldn't know, but she's about to hit them like a ton of bricks. 
2061Rael [remembering when he fought her]: Yeah… And I can only assume she's gotten better since then…. 
2062[M-21 nods]
2063[Kate suddenly appears beside Gui grabs his face and slams him into the ground.]
2064[Gui: What? I didn't even see her move!]
2065[Kate then tosses him into the air and slashes him repeatedly.]
2066Werewolves: !!!
2067[As he falls, Kate kicks him to the side and he slams into a boulder.]
2068[She doesn't give him time to recover and charges him.]
2069[Suddenly the other Werewolf slams into her and knocks her aside]
2070Gaitan: Gui! Are you alright?
2071Gui [panting]: I'm fine. I just got taken off guard. 
2072[Gaitan: That was not simply being taken off guard….]
2073[Kate stands up.]
2074Kate: Oh? So you decided to join in after all?
2075Werewolves: !!!
2076Gaitan: I didn't expect you to get up after that…. 
2077Kate [smiles]: Yeah, I get that a lot….
2078Kate: But the truth is I haven't even gotten started yet….
2079Gaitan: Gui, I'll take over.
2080Gui: What!? Are you saying I can't handle that human!?
2081Gaitan: I'm not saying that but…. 
2082Kate: No. That's exactly what he's saying. 
2083Werewolves: !
2084Kate: Well, to be fair you were injured before we started. So you can use your injuries as an excuse if you want…. 
2085Gui: AAARGH!
2086[Gui charges.]
2087[Kate: Too easy.]
2088[Gui tries to punch her but she kicks his arm into the air and starts slashing again.]
2089[Kate slashes so much he starts losing limbs.]
2090[Kate bisects him.]
2091[Everyone is too stunned. It's over in an instant. ]
2092Gui: You… bastard…
2093Kate: Oh? You're still alive? Actually you're even showing signs of healing…. Huh. Well, I'll just cut off your head and see if that works. 
2094Gaitan: [charges]: AARGH!
2095[Kate is forced to jump back.]
2096Kate: Cht! How annoying! Now I can't finish off the other one…. 
2097Gaitan: You bastard! I'm your opponent now! 
2098Kate: Hmph! Fine. [To M-21] Hey, you guys tell me if that one moves!
2099M-21: ...ah, yeah.
2100Rael: ...o-okay…
2101[Gaitan roars.]
2102Gaitan: I'm going to kill you!
2103Kate [scoffs]: Oh, get in line!
2104[Kate: Although, all kidding aside… this one is strong. And he's not injured like the other one.]
2105[Kate: This could be a tough fight….]
2106[Kate: Well, we'll just have to see which is stronger. His power, or my stubbornness!]
2107[Kate raises her sword and waits.]
2108[Gaitan: Who the hell is she? Where did she come from? I thought she was just a human, but for her to be so strong…?]
2109[Gaitan: Well let's see what she can do.]
2110[Gaitan and Kate stare at each other. Then charge.]
2111[The clash results in an explosion.]
2112[They begin furiously exchanging blows.]
2113[Gaitan: This can't be. Is she really keeping pace with me?]
2114[Kate: He's still not serious yet. Should I push him a bit more?]
2115[Kate: I really don't want to use more power before he does….]
2116[Kate: Well I guess it can't be helped….]
2117[Kate starts infusing her sword with the dark power. ]
2118[Gaitan: Huh? What why does my arm hurt?]
2119Gaitan: My arms are injured? When did she…?
2120[Gaitan: What!? She can do it too!?]
2121Gaitan: When did you…?
2122Kate: Oh! You noticed. I was hoping it would be a bit longer before you noticed…. 
2123Gaitan: Why do you have that power? Where did you all get it from?
2124Kate: I know a guy.
2125Gaitan: … [Is that really all she has to say?]
2126[Kate disappears and appears behind him and attacks.]
2127[Kate: Hmm. I'm still not doing much damage. I guess I'll just have to hit him harder!] 
2128[Gaitan blocks and a crater forms around his feet.]
2129Gaitan: What the hell!?
2130[Gaitan punches her and sends her flying.]
2131[Gaitan jumps over to where she fell and punches her repeatedly]
2132Gaitan [panting]: I guess it's over. Man, that really surprised me. She was tougher than I thought…
2133[Gaitan turns to walk away.]
2134[Suddenly a shadow rises behind him.]
2135Gaitan: What!?
2136[Gaitan turns back and sees her standing there, smiling.]
2137Gaitan: Did you use all your energy just to stand up? You should have stayed on the ground. 
2138[Kate smiles wider.]
2139[Gaitan: Why am I starting to get a bad feeling about this…?]
2140Gaitan: Screw this!
2141[Gaitan fires an energy blast.]
2142[But Kate fires a dark energy blast and counters.]
2143[Kate suddenly appears in her nano suit and renews her assault.]
2144[Gaitan is being pushed back.]
2145[Gaitan: What the hell!? I thought she was barely standing!]
2146[Kate slashes his arms and legs. Then appears behind him and stabs him.]
2147[Gaitan tries to throw a punch behind him but she's gone before he gets there.]
2148[Kate: I see. His arms are metal. That's why he's hard to damage.]
2149[Kate smiles: But that also means if I cut them off they won't be able to grow back!]
2150[Kate: Looks like the only way to beat him is with overwhelming force.]
2151[Kate: Well for now, let's start with that arm!]
2152[Gaitan: Is she stronger than me!? I can't believe this! She's actually damaging me. I'll have to transform.]
2153[Gaitan transforms.]
2154Gaitan: I never thought I would have to do this to fight against a human. 
2155[Kate just smiles.]
2156Gaitan: What? You don't talk anymore?
2157Rael: Did she ...get taken over by that dark power?
2158M-21: … I don't know. 
2159[Kate: Why should I talk? I have nothing to say.] 
2160[Kate charges.]
2161[Gaitan punches.]
2162[Kate blocks and another crater forms.]
2163Gaitan: What!? She blocked it!?
2164[Gaitan: I could understand if she had dodged, but she blocked it!?]
2165[Kate moves to the side and stabs his arm at the elbow. Then shoots a wave of dark energy into it.]
2166[Gaitan screams.]
2167[Kate rips the sword out and cuts off his arm.]
2168[Gaitan falls to the ground clutching his arm.]
2169[Kate wastes no time and kicks him sending him flying.]
2170[Kate follows after him, renewing her assault.]
2171[Suddenly Rai shows up.]
2172[Kate looks over at him.]
2173[Kate: Hm? What's Rai doing here?]
2174[Muzaka shows up.]
2175[Kate looks back at him then takes some distance from Gaitan.]
2176Muzaka: Oh didn't expect you to be here Raizel.
2177Muzaka: And didn't I tell you to stay out of my family matters?
2178Rai: …
2179Kate: Actually they attacked us and we defended ourselves. We lured them out here so that humans wouldn't get hurt.
2180[Rael, Regis and M-21: She can talk!? So she didn't get taken over by that dark power!?]
2181Muzaka: Oh, I see. But I still can't let you kill them. 
2182Kate: ...Do you have business with them?
2183Muzaka: Yeah, you could say that. 
2184Kate: Then I'll wait.
2185Muzaka: Wait? For what?
2186Kate: I will kill them when your business is concluded. 
2187Muzaka: ...So you're not going to let them go?
2188Kate: No. They are enemies. If we don't finish them off now they will just attack again later. It would be pointless to let them go. 
2189Muzaka: Yeah, I'm not going to let you do that. 
2190Kate: That isn't up to you. You are the former Werewolf Lord, yes? So you currently have no authority over them, and you have no authority over me as a human. 
2191Muzaka: …
2192Kate: As I said, I will wait while you conduct your business. 
2193Muzaka: ...Putting that aside for now. I heard you guys were looking for me. But why are you modified? Are you really family members?
2194Gui: Ha! That's funny coming from you!
2195Muzaka: You know me?
2196Gui: Yeah, you're Muzaka the traitor!
2197Muzaka: You're saying I betrayed the family?
2198Gui: That's right! And we were sent here to kill you!
2199Muzaka: Really? Just the two of you?
2200Gaitan: Well we didn't expect to run into such a strong human, but even so! The Lord said we'd be more than enough for you! Gui, let's get him!
2201[They attack. Gui is killed.]
2202Muzaka: Has Marduk lost it? He really just sent you two to kill me?
2203Gaitan: But how…?
2204[Gaitan attacks again and he dies.]
2205[Kate: Really? He was making such a fuss over me killing them, but then he went and killed them anyway…]
2206[Kate sighs: Well, whatever. The situation is resolved.]
2207
2208[Lunark and Kentas show up.]
2209[Frankenstein shows up.]
2210[Muzaka tries to let them go but Frankenstein doesn't want to.]
2211Frankenstein: Muzaka I don't know what you're thinking but they are our enemies. 
2212Kate [quietly]: Actually, they're not….
2213Frankenstein: Hm?
2214Kate: They're not friends and not enemies…. Well I'll still fight if they want to, but I'm also fine with letting them go. 
2215Frankenstein: Hm. Fine. I guess they can go.
2216[Muzaka: Frankenstein trusts her judgment on this? Who is she?]
2217[Frankenstein: I don't know how she can tell, but she hasn't been wrong yet. She was even right about M-24….] 
2218Muzaka: Well get out of here you guys. 
2219[Lunark and Kentas leave.]
2220[Muzaka and Kate stare at each other.]
2221[Kate: He's not an enemy… but he's dangerous?]
2222Muzaka: Hey Frankenstein, who is she?
2223[Kate: Not telling.]
2224Frankenstein: Her name is Kate.
2225[Kate: Dammit! I want to talk with him, but I can't right now….]
2226
2227Frankenstein: Lukedonia is under attack. Master and I are going there. 
2228Karius: I'll go too.
2229Frankenstein: No. I need you to stay here and look after the wounded. Seria won't be enough. 
2230Rael: I'm going. 
2231Frankenstein: No! You can't do anything in your condition. 
2232Kate [steps forward]: What about me? Would I be able to help? I'm not wounded and I'm not that weak.
2233Frankenstein: Kate, I would rather you stayed here as well.
2234Kate: Are they really that strong?
2235Frankenstein: Yes.
2236[Kate: Then it's at the level were even I can't do anything?]
2237Kate: ...I understand. 
2238[Kate: Then I'm still not strong enough….]
2239Kate: Good luck. Both of you, come home safe. 
2240
2241[Kate enters the dark spear's power]
2242Dark: What are you doing here!?
2243Kate [stepping forward]: I came to talk to you. 
2244Dark: What about?
2245Kate: You're weak.
2246[Dark flinches]
2247Dark: I'll show you weak!
2248[Darkness tries to attack and devour her, but she smoothly extinguishes it]
2249Kate: Yeah, you tried that before. No matter how many times you try it the result will be the same. 
2250Dark: Just you wait! One day I will devour you!
2251Kate [ignoring that]: Anyway, I need you to be stronger. 
2252Dark: What?
2253Kate: I need to make you stronger. 
2254Dark: Why?
2255Kate: The stronger you are, the stronger I am.
2256Dark: But I have said I wish to devour you, why would you want to make me stronger?
2257Kate: Yeah, honestly your desire to devour me doesn't make much sense. You need me to manifest in the world don't you? So without me you'd just be trapped here, right?
2258Dark: ….
2259Kate: It doesn't make any sense for us to fight. You're my partner. The stronger you are the more ass I can kick, and the stronger I am the more ass you can kick. 
2260Dark: …
2261Kate: So, what do you think? Is there a way to make you stronger?
2262Dark: You want me to be your partner?
2263Kate: Yes.
2264Dark: What if I betray you?
2265Kate: Maybe you will. But I'm still willing to try it at least once. Besides, it doesn't make any sense for you to hate me. I haven't done anything to you. 
2266Dark: I suppose I could try… being your partner. 
2267[Kate reaches out a hand to the darkness]
2268[The darkness grabs it and she pulls it up]
2269Kate [smiles]: Let's begin. 
2270
2271[Rai and Frankenstein are in Lukedonia.]
2272[Yuri and Aris attack.]
2273[M-21 defeats them.]
2274[But Muzaka shows up and wants to let them go.]
2275Tao: Nope! Take them away!~
2276Muzaka: I like this guy!
2277[Kate steps forward.]
2278Kate [quietly]: Wait. I need to have a chat with you. After you take them back come meet me at the place where we let Lunark and Kentas go. I'll be waiting. 
2279Aris: Is that Kate? Why is she here?
2280Kate: Reasons. 
2281Yuri: I still can't believe you betrayed us for chocolate!
2282Aris: She did!?
2283Kate: Huh. I guess you're having some memory problems since the… incident. But really I don't know why you're so surprised. What part of that was out of character for me?
2284Yuri: … I'm not sure what I was expecting but that's true… 
2285Aris: Wait! What happened?
2286Kate: I'm sure Yuri will tell you about it later. It's been… well not really nice seeing you, but it was a thing that happened I guess. 
2287[They leave]
2288Tao: Did you really betray them for… chocolate?
2289Kate: Meh~ More or less.
2290Everyone: … [What is her thought process…?]
2291Kate: I've got to go take care of something. I'll see you guys later. 
2292
2293Muzaka: So what did you want to talk about?
2294Kate: So I heard some things. That you're Rai's friend? That your daughter died at the hands of humans? That your plan is to wipe out all of the humans in revenge for that tragedy?
2295Muzaka: That’s right.
2296Kate: Do you have ANY idea how idiotic that is?
2297Muzaka: ...
2298Kate: It’d be one thing if you wanted to kill the ones responsible, but you want to kill all the humans!? Even ones that had nothing to do with it? The innocent and the guilty alike? How many more Ashleen’s will you kill?
2299Muzaka: Careful… you don’t know what you’re talking about.
2300Kate: You’re ridiculous! Do you think you have a monopoly on loss? Do you think you’re the only one who’s experienced sorrow? Regis and Seria are Nobles. They both lost their parents to the traitors and humans, but they fight alongside us! They know that not all humans are bad! 
2301Muzaka: Shut up…
2302Kate: Ashleen was human! Her mother was human! The people responsible for that have died long ago! 
2303Kate [takes a deep breath]: But you know what? Fine! You want to kill all the humans? Why don’t you start with me!
2304Muzaka: ...What?
2305Kate: You know perfectly well I have fuck all to do with that. I wasn’t even alive then. Hell, my parents, grandparents, even great-grandparents weren’t alive then! But I’m human right? So go ahead!
2306Muzaka: …
2307Kate: What? Is it different because you know me? You think I’m innocent? I might not be responsible for their deaths, but I’m human right? So go for it! Give it your best shot! In fact, by your own logic if I was hurt by a werewolf I should kill all the werewolves right? How about I go on a killing spree and slaughter them all?
2308Muzaka: WHAT!?
2309Kate [serious]: Well if you’re going to kill me, I’d like to thoroughly earn it!
2310Muzaka: ……
2311Kate: You think you know loss? You don’t know anything! Because… when it comes to loss THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING MORE TO LOSE MUZAKA!!!
2312Muzaka: !!!
2313Kate: You still care about the werewolves don’t you? You cared about Garda? You care about Rai? You say you lost everything!? But isn’t the truth more like… you threw them all away?
2314Muzaka: What!?
2315[Muzaka: Maybe she’s right. Maybe I did throw them all away….]
2316Kate [takes out her sword]: Let’s go Muzaka.
2317Muzaka: … I don’t...
2318Kate: Muzaka, you’re misunderstanding something. I’m not giving you a choice. This is happening… whether you want it to or not.
2319[Kate charges at Muzaka]
2320[Muzaka is startled but raises his arm to defend]
2321[Muzaka: What the hell!?]
2322[Kate's sword hits his arm]
2323Muzaka: Are you really serious? Are you actually intending to fight me? 
2324Kate: Did that attack not seem serious? Perhaps I should try harder!
2325[Kate grabs his arm, pulls it out of the way and headbutts him. She knees him in the gut]
2326[Kate attacks with her sword harder and sends him flying]
2327[Kate: Hmm. There's no way he's done yet. He's supposed to be as strong as Rai.]
2328[Kate swings her sword and sends out an energy wave]
2329[Muzaka gets up and it hits him in the face]
2330Muzaka: What the-!? 
2331[Kate charges and attacks again]
2332[Muzaka transforms his hands and counterattacks]
2333[Kate: Good! He finally attacked. Maybe now he'll take this seriously.]
2334[Muzaka: Actually she's pretty good for a human.]
2335[Muzaka swipes his claws at her and she disappears]
2336Muzaka: What the-!? 
2337[Kate reappears behind him and stabs him with her sword]
2338[She kicks him and sends him flying, then immediately follows after him with sword attacks]
2339Kate: Why do you keep dragging your feet? 
2340Muzaka: What? 
2341Kate: You're not fighting me seriously. You haven't even sent me flying once. 
2342Muzaka: !?
2343Kate: Muzaka, if this is the way you're going to be… should I hunt the Werewolves like I said? 
2344Muzaka: !
2345Kate: Maybe you can survive my attacks but can they? 
2346[Muzaka roars and charges her]
2347Kate [smiles]: Good! 
2348[Kate swings her sword at him but he catches it]
2349[Muzaka swipes his claws at her, cutting her and sending her flying]
2350Muzaka: You won't lay a hand on them!
2351[Kate gets up from the dust in her nano suit]
2352Kate: Oh? And why's that? 
2353[Muzaka: No way! She's still alive after that attack!?]
2354[Kate charges at him and unleashes a series of sword strikes]
2355[Muzaka counterattacks and matches her]
2356Muzaka: Who the hell are you!? Why are you doing this!? 
2357Kate: You must be staying with Crombell. 
2358Muzaka: !
2359Kate: You helped Aris and Yuri earlier so that must be the case. Are you an idiot? He's the exact kind of human that killed Ashleen! 
2360[Kate swings her sword and slashes his chest open]
2361[Muzaka grabs her by the throat]
2362Muzaka: What would you know about it!? What would you know about the kind of people that killed her!?
2363[Choking Kate]
2364Kate: I… know enough… about those kind… of people… more than… you could possibly know… 
2365[Kate stabs him with her sword and he releases her]
2366[Kate coughs gasping for air]
2367[Kate stands and readies her sword again]
2368[Muzaka: What is she? What the hell has she been through to make her like that?] 
2369Kate: If you stay with him you're going to have a front row seat to another tragedy! Just like the one that killed Ashleen!
2370[Muzaka yells and attacks]
2371[He tries to swipe at her head but Kate ducks down and kicks him in the gut]
2372[Kate charges again with sword attacks]
2373[Muzaka grabs her sword arm and pulls her in, kneeing her in the gut. Then he unleashes a claw attack that tears up the land]
2374[As the dust settles, a shadow appears]
2375[Kate stands back up again]
2376Muzaka: No way...
2377[Kate: If my recovery wasn't maxed out I'd be dead by now…]
2378[Kate [smiles]: Still, this needs to happen…]
2379[Kate charges him again]
2380[Right before she hits him she disappears and attacks from behind again]
2381[Muzaka swipes behind him but she's already gone]
2382[Kate slashes his chest open from the front]
2383[Muzaka grabs her and puts his hand through her abdomen]
2384[Kate coughs blood and punches him in the face]
2385[Muzaka pulls out his hand and she collapses to the ground]
2386[Kate: Shit… I don't think I can get back up again this time… ]
2387Muzaka: Who the hell are you?
2388Kate [spits out some blood]: I’m Kate. I think we were introduced before.
2389Muzaka: Why did you do this? You must have known you couldn't win… 
2390Kate: It was never… about winning or losing… 
2391Muzaka: Then why…?
2392Kate [smiles]: Because you're Rai's dumbass friend. This was the only way… I could get you to listen… 
2393Muzaka: What!?
2394[Kate passes out]
2395Muzaka: What the hell! 
2396[Muzaka: Now what do I do with her? Shit! Can a human even survive those kind of wounds!?]
2397[Muzaka: Should I take her to Crombell?]
2398[[Kate: If you stay with him you're going to have a front row seat to another tragedy.]]
2399[Muzaka: Yeah… that's probably a bad idea…]
2400[Muzaka: Raizel and Frankenstein are still in Lukedonia… well I guess I have no choice but to take her back to them and let them deal with it…. Hopefully they get back soon….]
2401
2402Tao: Hey guys, where did Kate go? I haven't seen her around lately. 
2403M-21: I don't know. She said she had some business to take care of and took off. 
2404[Alarm goes off.]
2405Tao: Uh guys, incoming!
2406[Muzaka shows up carrying an unconscious Kate.]
2407M-21: What the hell!?
2408[Tao and Takio pull out their weapons.]
2409Muzaka: Yeah, I'm not here to fight. I'm just dropping her off.
2410Tao: What the hell!? Why would you do that to her!?
2411Muzaka: Hey, don't look at me like that! It was her idea!
2412[Everyone looks at him doubtfully.]
2413[Muzaka looks embarrassed]
2414Muzaka: Look I'm sure she'll tell you about it when she wakes up. Actually, tell Raizel to call me when she wakes up. Later. 
2415[Muzaka leaves.]
2416Tao: What the hell happened?
2417
2418[Frankenstein finds out Kate was injured]
2419[Tao: I'm not looking forward to this…]
2420Frankenstein: Hm? Tao is calling me.
2421Frankenstein: What is it Tao?
2422Tao: Um… can you come home now? 
2423Frankenstein: Yes. We'll be leaving soon. Is anything wrong? 
2424Tao: W-well… Kate is injured… like really badly… 
2425Frankenstein [sudden tone shift]: What? 
2426Tao: Um… a little while ago Muzaka showed up with her and she was critically injured… Should we take her to a hospital or wait for you…? 
2427Frankenstein: Muzaka! That bastard… 
2428Tao: Um… boss? 
2429Frankenstein: Is she in danger of bleeding out? 
2430Tao: The bleeding has mostly stopped… but I think she's lost a lot of blood… 
2431Frankenstein: Tao, I'll be right there. 
2432[Frankenstein hangs up]
2433Tao: Oh man… That was scarier than usual… 
2434M-21: But seriously, what the hell happened? We saw Muzaka not long before and nothing happened to us… 
2435Tao: I don't know but I think Frankenstein is super pissed… 
2436
2437[Frankenstein sees Kate]
2438[He starts releasing a large amount of dark power and it pushes Tao and co back]
2439[Frankenstein: What the hell did he do to my sister!?]
2440Rai: Frankenstein… 
2441[Frankenstein cuts back on the power]
2442Frankenstein: Tao what the hell happened!? 
2443Tao [shaking]: I don't know… Kate said she had something to take care of and took off. Then the next time we saw her she was like this… 
2444Rai: And you say Muzaka brought her here?
2445Tao: Y-yeah… 
2446Frankenstein: Master, these wounds were made by Muzaka.
2447Rai: ...
2448Tao: H-he said for you to call him when she wakes up… [gulp] Um… he also said it was her idea… 
2449M-21: I don't know what happened but we saw him not long before and nothing happened to us… 
2450Rai and Frankenstein [look at Kate]: !
2451[Frankenstein: Is that true? Then did she pick a fight with Muzaka while we were gone!? Why would she do that?]
2452Frankenstein: Thank you, Tao. You guys can go. 
2453[Tao and co leave]
2454Rai: Frankenstein. Are you alright? 
2455Frankenstein: I don't think she would have picked a fight with him, but then again… I'll just have to wake her up and ask her.
2456Rai [pat's his shoulder]
2457Frankenstein: If he attacked her for no reason I'm going to kill him! 
2458Rai: ...
2459...
2460Tao: Oh man… that was terrifying… I think he actually exploded… 
2461Takio: But seriously what happened…
2462M-21: I have no idea. But I hope she's alright.
2463Tao: Well it's Frankenstein. If he can't fix her no one can. [Seriously scary…]
2464
2465[Kate wakes up in the lab.]
2466Frankenstein: Kate!
2467Kate: ...Oh good. You and Rai are back safely then?
2468Frankenstein: We are, but Kate what the hell happened while we were gone!? The guys said Muzaka showed up with you like this. He didn't… attack you for no reason, did he?
2469Kate [sighs]: No. Can I get some water?
2470[Frankenstein gives her a glass of water.]
2471Kate: I'll tell you, but you're not going to like it. 
2472Kate: It's actually something I'd been meaning to do for a while, but the opportunity never presented itself. Basically, Rai's friend was being an idiot so I called him out on it. 
2473Frankenstein: ………….
2474Frankenstein: I'm totally lost. How was he being an idiot? And how did that turn into you two fighting like this?
2475[Kate recaps]
2476Frankenstein: Kate, I specifically left you here because I thought you would be in less danger! How did you think fighting Muzaka would be a good idea!?
2477Kate: Well I think it turned out quite well. I may have lost the battle but I think I won the war. 
2478Frankenstein [sighs]: I can't listen to this anymore. Just get some rest…. 
2479
2480[After Kate wakes up]
2481Tao: So… what happened? 
2482[Rai looks up]
2483Frankenstein [sighs]: She says he didn't attack her for no reason, but that she picked a fight with him. 
2484Everyone: !!!
2485Tao: What!? Why would she do that? That's crazy! 
2486Frankenstein [to master]: She said your friend was being a dumbass and she had to knock some sense into him.
2487Rai: ?
2488Everyone: ……… 
2489M-21: What? 
2490Frankenstein [sighs]: Apparently she told him if he wanted to kill all the humans to start with her and then she attacked him forcing him to fight. And you know how tenacious she can be in a fight… 
2491Everyone: ……. 
2492Tao: I don't get it…. What was she trying to accomplish? 
2493[Kate enters]
2494Frankenstein: Kate! You should be resting! You're still not recovered! 
2495Kate: Don't worry. I'll live. 
2496Regis: Kate, what is wrong with you? Doing something like that…
2497Kate: I know you're all probably mad at me. I would be too if you put yourselves in danger like that. But I think it needed to be done. And I would do it again. 
2498Kate: By the way, I guess you guys still don't get it. It was because of what happened 820 years ago.
2499Rael: ...So it was revenge? 
2500Kate: No. It was to keep it from happening again. 
2501Everyone: !
2502Kate: They fought because Muzaka wanted to kill all the humans because of what happened to Ashleen. Not just the ones responsible, but all of them. I could understand if he wanted to kill the ones responsible, hell I'd help him do it. But he wanted to kill all of them. 
2503Kate: And what do you think would happen if he tried it again? Rai would have no choice but to stop him again, and I didn't want a repeat of what happened before.
2504Rai: !!!
2505Kate: That's why I had to knock some sense into him. 
2506Frankenstein [sighs]: Kate… I understand what you're saying… but we can't protect you like this…
2507Kate: Then stop trying to protect me. 
2508Everyone: !
2509M-21: What? 
2510Kate: This was my decision. And I would do it again… and again… and again… as many times as I have to. 
2511Frankenstein: Kate!
2512Kate: Sorry, but this is who I am now. 
2513Tao: But Kate… you can't fight Muzaka!
2514Kate: Don't be ridiculous. 
2515Frankenstein: What!?
2516Kate [crosses her arms]: The enemy is too strong? We might die? We already knew that when we decided to stay here and fight! 
2517Everyone: !
2518Kate: What? Can only the strong fight? Are only the strong allowed to make those decisions? I have every right to decide what I want to fight for! You can't make that decision for me!
2519Everyone: …….
2520Kate: I had to fight him like that because it was the only way to get him to listen!
2521[Kate leaves]
2522Rael: How can she… be like that… 
2523Tao: I feel like she's terrifying in an entirely different way… 
2524M-21: Did she really go that far because of what happened before?
2525Rael: But she's just a human! Something like that… she could have easily died! 
2526Karius: Are you worried about her? 
2527Rael: No! 
2528Frankenstein [sighs]: That girl is going to be the death of me… 
2529
2530[Muzaka comes by]
2531Muzaka: Hey Frankenstein, Raizel. I heard Kate is awake. 
2532Frankenstein: Yes. She is. 
2533Muzaka: How is she? 
2534Frankenstein: She's resting. 
2535Muzaka: Raizel, I'm sorry about hurting one of your humans like that but she really forced me into it… 
2536Rai: Yes. She told us. 
2537Muzaka: Well… she actually made a few good points…. I think maybe you were right to stop me before… 
2538Rai: ? 
2539Muzaka: When I lost Ashleen I thought I lost everything…. But I didn't. I shouldn't have put you in that position. I'm sorry Raizel. 
2540Rai: !
2541Rai: Muzaka, I'm sorry for stopping you, but I still think it was the right thing to do. 
2542Muzaka: Yeah. I didn't think so before, but now…. I think you were right. 
2543[Frankenstein: I must be dreaming…]
2544[Kate walks in]
2545Muzaka: Hey Kate? I’m sorry about before. You were right….
2546Kate [looks at Rai]: I’m not the one you should be apologizing to.
2547Muzaka: I’m sorry Raizel…. 
2548Frankenstein: Kate, I see you’re feeling better.
2549Kate [smiling]: Yeah, thanks to you big bro!
2550Muzaka [choking]: B-big… bro...?
2551Frankenstein [sighs]: Really? Did you really have to tell him?
2552Kate [chuckling]: But of course I did, big bro! Besides, don’t you think his reaction was worth it?
2553Frankenstein: Honestly, sometimes I don’t know which of us is the bigger monster….
2554Kate: Well… I think it depends on the day~
2555Muzaka: She’s… HIS sister!?
2556Kate: Well technically I’m an adopted sister. We’re not blood related.
2557[Muzaka: No way… She is totally his sister!]
2558Muzaka: Uh… Frankenstein… I’m sorry for beating up your sister….
2559Kate: What are you talking about? It was my idea!
2560Muzaka: But still…
2561Frankenstein: It’s fine. As long as she’s alright. And as she said, it was her idea. If you had attacked her for no reason I would be… VERY upset….
2562Kate: Oh~ Big bro is being protective of me! I like when you’re protective of me! You’re the best big brother ever!~
2563Everyone: ………
2564Frankenstein [sighs]: Well it seems you were right, Kate.
2565Muzaka: Hm? About what? Wait. Now that I have a chance to ask you, why did you do that?
2566Kate: I told you. I needed to talk to you. 
2567Muzaka: To talk with me? I think that was a bit more than just talking…
2568Kate: It was a conversation I risked my life to have with you.
2569Muzaka: What!?
2570Kate: If I had just told you what I wanted to tell you, you wouldn't have listened. I needed to risk my life to get you to listen. To show you that my feelings weren't any less than yours. 
2571Muzaka: Was that really necessary? 
2572Kate: Well it worked didn't it? 
2573Muzaka: I guess… 
2574Frankenstein: Kate, you really went that far just for a conversation?
2575Kate: Yes. 
2576Muzaka: But you knew I wanted to kill all the humans. How did you know that I wouldn't kill you? 
2577Kate: I didn't. 
2578Frankenstein: Kate… 
2579Kate: Well it seemed to me that someone needed to have a talk with him and I was the best one for the task. 
2580Muzaka: How do you know that I don't intend to kill all the humans anymore? 
2581Kate [looks at him]: If that's the case, then why am I still alive? 
2582Muzaka: …
2583Kate [smiles]: That's how I know it worked. You didn't have to save me. I didn't give you any reason to. You could have killed me. You could have left me there. But you didn't. If you wanted me to be dead, I'd be dead. But you're not a cruel person. Your heart was just warped by grief. 
2584Muzaka: ...
2585Frankenstein [sighs]: I still can't believe you went that far… you could have died….
2586Kate: Yes. [Sips tea] But I lived. 
2587Rai: Kate. I would rather you didn't do things like that. 
2588Kate: I don't think you're in a position to say that. 
2589Rai: ?
2590Kate: Who do you think I learned it from? 
2591Muzaka [laughing]: She's got you there!
2592[Frankenstein [sighs]: That's true. Master often risks his life for them.]
2593Rai [sighs]
2594Muzaka: You are one gutsy human. I'll give you that. 
2595Kate [shrugs]: I just did what I wanted to do. I'm glad it worked out. 
2596…
2597Tao: I can't believe she fought Muzaka like that and now she's sitting there talking with them like it never happened. 
2598Takio: That's crazy though. Muzaka is supposed to be as strong as Rai. But she still picked a fight with him. 
2599Tao: No one sane would pick a fight with someone that strong. 
2600M-21: But she did. 
2601Tao: Yeah. 
2602M-21: And she lived. 
2603Tao: Yeah. 
2604M-21: And now she's having tea with them. 
2605Tao: Yeah… how does that work?
2606M-21: I have no idea. Regis, what do you think?
2607Regis: Honestly I have no idea either.
2608Seria: Hm. Do you think it worked?
2609Everyone: ?
2610Seria: She said she fought him like that because he planned to kill all the humans. Does the fact that he's here like this mean he no longer wants to kill all the humans?
2611Tao: I don't know. Maybe?
2612Seria: If she succeeded then that means she protected Rai.
2613Everyone: !!!
2614Rael: What!? But she's just a human! 
2615Regis: What's that got to do with anything?
2616Rael: How can a human protect someone as powerful as the Noblesse!? 
2617Tao: Well it looks like that's what she did…
2618Rael: That's ridiculous! ...But even I couldn't do what she did…. And it's not just the difference in strength… even if I fought Muzaka I don't think that would stop him from killing all the humans….  
2619Regis: Yeah. I don't know how she did that. 
2620M-21: Hmm. 
2621Takio: Maybe it's something only she can do. 
2622Everyone: Hm?
2623Takio: I can't imagine anyone else being able to do what she did. Fighting Muzaka and surviving? Somehow getting him to give up on killing the humans? And now she's having tea with them? It's just one impossible thing after another…. 
2624Regis: Yeah…. 
2625Tao: I'm glad she's on our side. Can you imagine what a nightmare she'd be as an enemy? 
2626
2627[After the Lukedonia invasion]
2628Kate: So what happened in Lukedonia?
2629[Frankenstein fills her in]
2630Kate: What's a bloodstone? 
2631Frankenstein: It's a cursed artifact that can turn a person into a monster. 
2632Kate: And that was in Rai's house? 
2633Frankenstein: Yes.
2634Kate: Why though? Why not destroy something like that? Why keep it around? 
2635Frankenstein: I thought it would be safe as long as it was there, but after master disappeared I forgot about it. 
2636Kate: So what did the bloodstone do? 
2637Frankenstein: It made him very powerful. Almost as powerful as master. 
2638Kate: What the hell!
2639Frankenstein: He also absorbed the Werewolves that were with him and made a fake bloodstone that he put in Gradius. 
2640Kate: Was the fake bloodstone just as powerful as the real one? 
2641Frankenstein: Just about. Gradius didn't have as much power as Ragus but his power increased drastically.
2642Kate: …
2643Kate: This is a problem…
2644Frankenstein: ?
2645Kate: He was one of the traitors with the union, so he must have made the fake bloodstone there. Which means they now have the technology to do that. We might end up encountering more of these in the future… 
2646Frankenstein [sighs]: Shit… you're right… 
2647Kate: You really should have destroyed it when you had the chance… 
2648[Kate: Although… it increased his power and Rai's power comes from his lifespan… If Rai had an alternative power source he wouldn't need to use his lifespan…]
2649[Kate: But is something like that safe? Frankenstein said it turns you into a monster…]
2650[Kate: Hmm….]
2651
2652[M-21 has been captured by the Werewolves]
2653Tao: We don't know where he is. We don't even know if he's alive right now….
2654Kate: He's alive. 
2655Tao: ?
2656Kate: He promised that he wouldn't die. We just need to find him. 
2657Tao: …
2658Tao: Okay. 
2659
2660Frankenstein: You guys stay here. Master and I will retrieve him.
2661Kate: ...
2662Frankenstein: Kate.
2663Kate: ...
2664Frankenstein: Kate!
2665Kate: ...have a safe journey. 
2666[Frankenstein hangs up.]
2667Tao: Are we really staying behind?
2668Kate: Nope. I'm giving them a head start. 
2669Everyone: !!!
2670Kate: You guys do want you want. But I'm not staying out of it this time. 
2671Tao: No, we'll go to.
2672Taiko: Of course. 
2673[Regis and Seria nod.]
2674
2675[Tao stops M-21 from being killed by electrocuting Urne]
2676[Kate then kicks her out of the way]
2677Kate: Hey! Get up, idiot!
2678M-21: No way… Kate? What are you guys doing here?
2679Tao: Duh, we're here to get you obviously. 
2680Kate: Stupid question. Did you hit your head?
2681[M-21: Yeah, stupid question. I would do the same for them.]
2682Kate: I'm calling dibs on that bitch!
2683Tao: No let us take her.
2684[Kate looks at M-21]
2685Kate: You up for it?
2686M-21: Yeah. I got this. 
2687Kate: Fine. Hey, Lunark! Need a hand?
2688Lunark: W-what are you…?
2689Kate: Lunark, I really want to stab something!
2690Lunark: Uh, oh… ok.
2691Tao: Why are you helping Lunark?
2692Kate [points at Lunark]: Friend. 
2693Everyone: !
2694Tao: When did that happen?
2695Kate: Sometime between last time and now? I don't know the details, but I can tell. 
2696Tao: M-21?
2697M-21 [nods]: Lunark saved me.
2698Tao [to Lunark]: I guess you're our friend now.
2699Lunark: I-I didn't agree to that!
2700Kate: Too late. Also, you and Frankenstein would make a cute couple. 
2701Lunark [blushing]: Ahh! W-what!?
2702Kate [smiling]: I'll put in a good word for you! Oh that reminds me.
2703Kate [blushing]: M-21, I think I have a crush on you. 
2704M-21: WHAT!?
2705Kate [shrugs]: You can't control who you fall in love with. You don't have to answer now. I just wanted you to know. You can give me your answer later. 
2706M-21: But I thought you and Frankenstein….
2707Kate [laughing]: No way! I do love him, but he's my big brother!
2708Lunark: W-WHAT!?
2709M-21: Yeah, but you guys aren't blood related….
2710Kate: Still my brother. Although I do really admire him.
2711Kate: [kisses M-21] Come find me later. 
2712Kate [to Lunark]: I hope you two work out. You'd be an awesome big sister!
2713Tao: …. I don't even know where to begin with that. 
2714Takio: S-seriously. The pace at which she moves…. 
2715Seria: Indeed. She doesn't hold back at all. Whether it's in fighting or in love…. 
2716Regis: I'm too shocked… And she said Lunark and Frankenstein…? Is that really true?
2717M-21: I feel like I hit my head…. 
2718Lunark: Same….
2719
2720[Fighting with Juraki]
2721Juraki: Lunark, you were foolish not to accept this power. We have a duty to get stronger for our people. 
2722Lunark: Even though you're sacrificing them!?
2723Kate: Hey Lunark….
2724Lunark: Yeah?
2725Kate: Are they… retarded?
2726Lunark: … No.
2727Kate [looks at her]: Brainwashed?
2728Lunark: … No.
2729Kate: ……
2730Lunark: ……
2731Kate [looks at Lunark with pity]: Lunark, I'm so sorry. 
2732Lunark: Huh?
2733Kate: It must have been so hard for you. 
2734Everyone: ?
2735Kate: All this time… you've had to deal with these idiots…. 
2736Lunark: Wha-?
2737Mirai: I can't believe you have the nerve to insult us like this! Juraki let's kill them! Lunark you should be ashamed of yourself! Associating with humans like that!
2738Kate: I can't believe you have the nerve to insist you did nothing wrong! You're sacrificing your own people for power! You're a bigger threat to your people than we ever were!
2739Juraki: We have a duty to get stronger to protect our people. You wouldn't understand, human!
2740Kate: You're goddamn right I don't understand! What the hell kind of logic is that! What does it even mean 'to protect'? What are you protecting them from!? Is it just that you're the only ones allowed to kill them and no outsiders can kill them!? Cause that's what it sounds like to me!
2741Mirai: Shut up! We did nothing wrong!
2742Kate: Who are you lying to? Me or yourself? If there's nothing wrong with what you did then why is it a secret? Lunark and Kentas didn't know. And I'm betting it isn't common knowledge among your people. If there's nothing wrong with it shouldn't you be proud!? 
2743Mirai and Juraki: !!!
2744Kate [sighs]: Whatever. This is pointless. 
2745[Kate draws her sword]
2746Kate: People like you never admit you're wrong. Despite whatever tortured logic you use to justify your actions. It's like trying to reason with an insane person. There's only one thing you'll understand. So let's do this. 
2747Seria [points at Mirai]: I will fight that one. 
2748Kate: Kay. [To Juraki] Guess you're mine then.
2749Juraki: Human, you don't really think you can fight me do you?
2750Lunark: He's right. You don't stand a chance against him. In addition to having experiments done on him, he was already recognized as a warrior before that!
2751Kate: So what?
2752Lunark: What?
2753Kate [smiles]: So what?
2754Juraki: You arrogant…
2755Kate: Let me ask you something. I've fought your kind on at least three occasions, but have you ever fought someone like me? Cause I highly doubt it. There's only one other person like me.
2756[Lunark: Because she's Frankenstein's…]
2757Lunark: But I'm not sure even he could beat Juraki… Are you sure?
2758Kate: Who knows? But that's never stopped me before. 
2759Kate: Shall we dance?
2760[Juraki tries to punch her]
2761[Kate kicks him in the face]
2762[Juraki punches her in the gut sending her flying]
2763[Kate gets up]
2764Kate [laughing]: Not bad! 
2765[Kate: Lunark was right. He's tough.]
2766[Kate charges at him then disappears and reappears behind him]
2767[She starts cutting. Her sword is infused with black power]
2768[Juraki swipes at her with his claws]
2769[Kate blocks with her sword but is knocked back]
2770[Juraki sends an energy attack after her]
2771[Kate dodges and sends dark spears at him]
2772[He blocks them and swipes his claws at her arm cutting it off]
2773[He then punches her and sends her flying again]
2774Juraki: Not bad for a human, but you lose.
2775[Kate suddenly gets up in a cloud of dust laughing]
2776Kate: You think it's over? Who says you've won?
2777Lunark: But Kate… your arm…
2778Kate: Yeah, would you mind passing that to me?
2779[Lunark looks confused but tosses the arm to her]
2780[Kate holds it to her wound and it reattaches]
2781Lunark: What the-?
2782Kate: Yeah, I might not be able to regenerate like you, but I still have a few tricks up my sleeve. 
2783Juraki: !
2784Kate [laughing]: Alright. Playtime is over. 
2785[Kate takes off her sword and tosses it to Lunark]
2786[She takes out her two short swords]
2787[Kate also transforms into her nano suit]
2788Kate: I hope you're ready for a trip to hell!
2789Juraki: What do you think has changed? Just because you use that suit?
2790[Kate smiles and suddenly appears beside him and cuts off his leg]
2791[She then kicks him and sends him flying]
2792[She follows after him.]
2793[He tries to swipe at her with his claws but she blocks and drives the short swords into his chest]
2794[She tosses him to the ground and kicks him sending him flying]
2795Kate: Get up! I know you're not done yet!
2796Lunark: !!!
2797[Juraki: What the hell? Why is my regeneration so slow?]
2798Kate: Come on! If you can't knock me down at least three more times then this isn't even a fight!
2799Lunark: What! What kind of standard is that!?
2800Kate [smiles]: Battles of attrition are my specialty. 
2801[Juraki's leg heals enough for him to stand]
2802Juraki: What the hell are you? What did you do to my regeneration?
2803Kate [laughing]: I told you you've never fought someone like me before!
2804Kate: How does it feel? Is this all the power you got from sacrificing Lunark's people? You might as well be a human! 
2805Juraki: !!!
2806Kate: Enough! Get up already! I'm not done with you yet!
2807[Kate slowly advances]
2808[Juraki stands and raises his power]
2809Kate: Finally! Now… hit me with your best shot!
2810[Juraki transforms into the giant wolf and attacks Kate]
2811[Kate smiles]
2812[Kate suddenly covers herself in dark power and cuts through the wolf]
2813[She cuts Juraki too]
2814Lunark: !!!
2815Kate: Well you were pretty strong. 
2816[Juraki crashes to the ground]
2817Lunark: She… won?
2818Kate: I wonder how strong you would have been if you hadn't sacrificed so many people. Especially facing someone like me. It's like you're the human and I'm the Werewolf. 
2819Juraki [panting]: …
2820Kate: Oh well. Time to die. 
2821[Kate is about to finish him.]
2822[Explosion off in the distance. It's Ignes and Titan.]
2823Kate: What the hell is that?
2824Lunark: I don't know….
2825Kate [sighs]: Well if experience has taught me anything it's that Rai is probably using his powers like an idiot. So we should all go towards the giant explosion. 
2826Regis: I'm not sure about the way she's framing it but she's probably right…. 
2827M-21: What about them?
2828Kate: Screw 'em. I don't normally leave enemies alive but right now I'm not sure if they are enemies. And we have other concerns. 
2829Tao: Yeah. That makes sense. After all we didn't come here to exterminate the Werewolves or anything. Just to get our guy back. 
2830Kate: Hey, you guys! Fuck off!! If you come after us I'll kill you! First and last warning! 
2831Kate: Come on guys, let's go!
2832[Kate takes off. The others follow.]
2833[Lunark looks back at Juraki and Mirai on the ground]
2834[Lunark: She really is Frankenstein's sister…]
2835[Lunark goes with them]
2836
2837[Kate sees Titan]
2838Kate: What the hell is that!?
2839Frankenstein: Kate!? What are you doing here?
2840Kate: Duh. We followed you!
2841[Titan roars.]
2842Kate: Frankenstein! I call dibs!
2843Frankenstein: What the fuck!? You can't take that thing!
2844Kate: Hey! Hey! I didn't come all this way to be a spectator, you know?
2845Kate: Oh, there's Rai! Hi Rai!
2846Rai: !!!
2847Kate: Rai! What did I tell you about trying to do everything yourself!?
2848Kate [sighs]: He never listens…. 
2849[Everyone: I-I don't think you're in a position to say that….]
2850Kate: Lunark, you in?
2851Lunark: What!? You want me to fight that thing!?
2852Kate: Oh come on! You know you want to! This is like a fun family outing! Don't you want to join in?
2853Frankenstein: Am I to understand that Lunark is part of the family now?
2854Kate: Well I think that's up to you two~
2855Frankenstein: What!?
2856Kate: So how about it? If Lunark does good, you two should go on a date!
2857Lunark and Frankenstein: ……..?
2858Frankenstein [sighs]: Lunark, is this what you want?
2859Lunark: W-well….
2860Frankenstein: Fine. If Lunark does well, we can go on a date. 
2861Lunark: Huh?
2862Frankenstein: Kate, if you weren't my sister I would kill you. 
2863Kate [laughing]: But that's what little sisters are for big bro~ They drive you crazy!
2864Frankenstein: Fine. Let's go kill this thing. 
2865[Kate and Frankenstein jump in]
2866Lunark: H-hey, wait for me!
2867Tao: I feel like everyone has gone completely insane. Well let's go too guys. 
2868Regis: What!? You want us to fight that thing!?
2869M-21: Well it's like she said isn't it? Family outing? Team building exercise?
2870Takio: Screw it. Let's go. I didn't come here to be a spectator either. 
2871[Kate and Frankenstein charge Titan]
2872[They cut off its arms]
2873[Tao binds its feet and electrocutes it]
2874[Regis and Seria attack, and Takio fires bullets]
2875[Lunark and M-21 attack slashing its torso open]
2876Tao: Huh. That was easier than I thought it would be. 
2877[Titan starts to heal]
2878Tao: Uh-oh. 
2879Frankenstein: It can heal from that!?
2880[Ignes attacks Rai]
2881M-21: What the hell!?
2882Frankenstein: That bitch!
2883[Frankenstein goes to attack Ignes but Titan attacks fires a beam]
2884Frankenstein: Dammit!
2885[Rai blocks the beam with a blood tornado]
2886Ignes: Hahaha! You won't be able to beat Titan! He can completely heal a wound like that in no time! And once he finishes healing, he'll be even stronger!
2887Regis: What the hell? How are we supposed to beat something like that!?
2888Rai: Sorry, everyone. I guess without realizing it I wanted to stay here a bit longer. However, I wouldn't mind if my life were to end in a few days or even this very minute. Don't worry. I'll end this. 
2889[Kate puts a hand on his shoulder]
2890Kate: I understand how you feel, Rai. I feel the same way. However [smiles fearlessly] we're not dying today.
2891Rai: ?
2892[Kate takes a few steps forward]
2893[[Kate: Kuro. Full power.]]
2894[Dark power rises around Kate]
2895[She turns black like Frankenstein]
2896[The power continues to climb]
2897Frankenstein: Kate!!!
2898Rai: !!!
2899[Suddenly dark wings erupt from her back]
2900[She looks like a demon or a fallen angel]
2901Kate: Don't worry. I'm fine. I don't know how long I can maintain this form so let's kick it's ass!
2902Kate: Rai, don't use your powers until I tell you to! Just block for now!
2903Rai: ?
2904Kate: Frankenstein take care of Ignes!
2905[Kate flys toward Titan]
2906Everyone: !!!!!!!!!!
2907Lunark: What the hell!?
2908Tao: Did Kate just turn into a demon!?
2909M-21: I keep hoping I'm going to wake up from this dream…. 
2910[Frankenstein: What the hell!? Since when has she been able to do that!? I thought she lost control but it looks like she's fine…]
2911[Ignes: What the hell!? Who the hell is she!? How can she do that? The amount of power she possesses right now is tremendous! It's enough to rival Titan!]
2912[Kate: I see. So if we can destroy the core it should die.]
2913Kate: Hey guys! Let's take it apart one more time!
2914[They tear it apart a second time]
2915[Kate: I see. The core is in its chest. ]
2916[Kate kicks it over to Rai]
2917Kate: Rai! Finish it! It should die if you destroy the core completely!
2918[Rai nods]
2919[Rai uses his power to make it disappear Kamui-style]
2920[The pieces of Titan fall to the ground like chunks of meat]
2921[Kate lands and releases her wings and dark form]
2922[Kate falls to the ground and collapses]
2923M-21: Kate! Are you alright?
2924Kate [panting]: Yeah. Just exhausted. I don't think I'll be able to do that again for a while. 
2925[Frankenstein: Hm. I'm going to have to talk to her about this later.]
2926[The Lord, Kei, Karius, and Rael show up]
2927[Ignes: What the hell!? Titan was defeated? And now the Lord is here too!? I have to get away from here!]
2928[Ignes flees]
2929Kate: Hot chocolate. When we get back I'm having hot chocolate….
2930[Frankenstein goes after Ignes]
2931Regis: Although, since when can you do that?
2932Kate: Since right now?
2933Everyone: ?
2934Kate: It was my first time. I took my inspiration from Rai's wings.
2935Kate: It's pretty exhausting though. Having that power cover you like that is pretty painful and you have to fight to maintain control so you don't get taken over by it. The usage time is too short. Maybe if I practice I can get better at it, but I can't do it again today. I can't guarantee I could maintain control…. 
2936Karius: You know you are really living up to Frankenstein's name…. 
2937Kate [smiles]: Thank you!
2938[Everyone: I-I don't think that was a compliment….]
2939Kate: Oh speaking of which, where is Frankenstein?
2940Everyone: ….
2941Takio: Ignes is gone too….
2942Everyone: ……. 
2943M-21: Uh Kate, about earlier… I also like you...
2944[Frankenstein returns]
2945Frankenstein: What?
2946M-21: ?
2947[M-21: Oh crap! He's gonna kill me…]
2948Rai: Where's Ignes?
2949Frankenstein: I took care of it. 
2950Kate: Nice!?
2951Lord: So have you saved the person you needed to save?
2952Rai: Yes.
2953Lord: So will you be leaving now?
2954[Everyone looks at Rai]
2955Rai: No. I have to go to Muzaka now. 
2956Frankenstein: Master….
2957Kate [gets up]: Kay. We'll go with you. 
2958Rai: ?
2959Kate: Well obviously! If you want to save him we'll help you. 
2960[Rai smiles]
2961Lord: I'll go as well. After all we still haven't found Rosaria.
2962Rai [smiles]: Alright. 
2963[Frankenstein sighs]
2964Frankenstein: Hey M-21, we'll talk later. 
2965[M-21: S-shit…?]
2966[Tao: Oh man. Is he going to be alright?]
2967[Takio: There's nothing scarier than an overprotective Frankenstein…]
2968[Regis: I feel worried...]
2969
2970[Fighting Maduk]
2971[Frankenstein impales Garda]
2972Muzaka: Frankenstein!
2973Frankenstein [annoyed]: What is it?
2974Muzaka: What the hell do you think you're doing!?
2975Frankenstein: The most reasonable thing in the current situation. 
2976Muzaka: What the hell!? How is attacking Garda the most reasonable thing!?
2977Frankenstein: Well do you have a better idea?
2978Frankenstein: She might look a mess right now but her recovery is fast. She'll be up and fighting you in no time. So if you want me to let her fight you again, then fine. But if you make my master use his power again it won't end with just this!
2979Tao: He's giving different reasons but it still sounds like he's picking a fight…
2980Kate: Frankenstein?
2981Frankenstein: Hm?
2982Kate: Good job!?
2983Everyone: ?
2984Frankenstein [smiles]: Thank you, Kate. 
2985Frankenstein: Hey Muzaka! I can't stay like this all day!
2986
2987[After Maduk confesses]
2988Kate [sighs]: Yeah that makes sense. 
2989Frankenstein: Kate?
2990Kate: I wish I could say I was surprised but I was beginning to wonder if that might be the case… 
2991Kate: The family leaders that betrayed Rai, they couldn't have known that Rai and Muzaka would fight unless they planned it beforehand. Kate: Of course it was possible that they simply took advantage of the situation but you said you couldn't find a trace of him afterwards. That doesn't just happen. They had to have known. And the only way they could have known was if they planned it with the Werewolves. 
2992Frankenstein: !
2993Kate: Still, I'm surprised their relations with each other were that bad… 
2994
2995[Maduk uses the bloodstone]
2996Kate: Things have taken a turn… 
2997[Kate: So this is the power of a bloodstone? I can see why it's cursed…]
2998Kate: We might have to step in…
2999[Rai tears Maduk's arm off]
3000Muzaka: Raizel? Why are you-?
3001Rai: Muzaka. This is no longer just your problem. 
3002Maduk: You think that half dead Noblesse can change anything?
3003Frankenstein: Mind if I cut in too? Since you want something more there's no reason to refuse. 
3004Marduk: One more person won't change anything!
3005Lord: Then I guess I should step in as well. 
3006Muzaka: Why are you guys…?
3007Frankenstein: As master said, it's no longer just a Werewolf matter. 
3008Kate: Hey Frankenstein, family outing?
3009Frankenstein: No. Not this time, Kate. 
3010Lord: Family leaders, go save the Werewolves. I will deal with this one here.
3011Family leaders: Yes Lord.
3012[Family leaders leave]
3013Muzaka: What? Why would the Lord of the Nobles…?
3014Lord: Because it's the right thing to do. We can't let innocent people be dragged into this. 
3015Rai: Raskeria? You're an excellent Lord. 
3016[Lord blushes]
3017Frankenstein: You guys go too.
3018Tao: Boss?
3019Frankenstein: Things are going to get chaotic here and you'd just be a distraction. Rather than that you should go help the Werewolves. 
3020Kate: Understood. 
3021Kate: Hey guys, if at first you don't succeed, try hitting him harder! 
3022Rai: ?
3023Frankenstein: Hm?
3024Kate [smiling]: It's what I would do. Good luck!
3025[Tao and co leave]
3026Frankenstein [smiling]: Makes sense, knowing her.
3027Muzaka: Lunark! Kentas! You guys go too! Don't let them steal your job!
3028[Lunark and Kentas leave]
3029
3030[After the bloodstone shatters]
3031Kate: What a bloody nightmare…
3032[Pieces of bloodstone rain down from the sky]
3033[Kate stares at them]
3034Kate: Hmm… 
3035
3036[After the Werewolves. Everyone is getting checked out by Frankenstein]
3037[Tao and co are about to leave]
3038[Suddenly Frankenstein's hand is on M-21's shoulder]
3039Frankenstein: Just a minute. We still need to have that talk. 
3040[M-21 breaks out in a cold sweat]
3041[Tao and Takio are looking between M-21 and Frankenstein, not sure what to do]
3042Frankenstein: It'll just take a second. 
3043[Tao and Takio are looking at Frankenstein: Please don't kill our friend…]
3044[M-21: It was nice knowing you guys…?]
3045Tao: We'll be outside then… I guess…
3046[Tao and Takio leave]
3047[M-21: Crap. What's he gonna do to me? Is it because the floors are easier to clean in here…?]
3048Frankenstein: Come with me. 
3049[Frankenstein steers him toward a small office in the lab with chairs and a desk]
3050[Frankenstein drops him into a seat and starts pouring drinks]
3051Frankenstein: So, you and Kate?
3052M-21 [gulp]: Y-yeah…
3053[M-21: I'm gonna die. I wonder if he'll use the dark spear…]
3054[Frankenstein hands him a drink]
3055Frankenstein: Are you alright?
3056M-21: Yeah…
3057[M-21: No. Please make it quick…]
3058Frankenstein: M-21, look at me. 
3059[M-21 didn't realize he was looking down]
3060[M-21 [gulp][raises his eyes]]
3061Frankenstein: It's alright. I'm not going to hurt you. 
3062M-21: R-really?
3063[M-21: He doesn't look mad. Or like he's gonna kill me…]
3064M-21: I thought you were going to turn me into confetti… 
3065Frankenstein [chuckles]: Yeah, I thought you might feel that way. But no. I actually like both of you. 
3066[M-21 exhales]
3067[M-21: Oh thank god. I thought I was going to die…]
3068Frankenstein: Of course I expect you to treat her well. She is my little sister after all. But you would probably do that even if I didn't say anything. 
3069Frankenstein: Really I just wanted to assure you that everything is fine and congratulate you on your relationship. 
3070M-21: So… you're really alright with us dating?
3071Frankenstein: Yes.
3072[Frankenstein sips his drink]
3073Frankenstein: By the way, what do you think of Lunark?
3074M-21: Lunark?
3075Frankenstein: Yeah well, she saved you right? So you've spent some time around her. So what do you think? 
3076M-21: You mean… about you and Lunark?
3077Frankenstein: Yeah. Does she seem like a good person? I mean, she did start out as our enemy…. 
3078M-21: I guess she's a good person…. You and me kind of started out as enemies too…. 
3079Frankenstein: Oh yeah. I forgot about that. And Kate seems to like her. I don't know how but Kate's instincts haven't been wrong yet. 
3080Frankenstein: …
3081Frankenstein: Hmm. If Kate's instincts are that good, I might end up with a serious girlfriend…. 
3082[M-21: This is getting too weird…]
3083Frankenstein: Anyways, you and Kate. 
3084M-21: !
3085Frankenstein: Just so we're clear. I don't expect you to be a perfect gentleman. You don't have to ask my permission to take her out or have her home by a certain time. And if you guys want to have sex it's up to you. 
3086M-21: ?
3087Frankenstein: What? I'm not going to micromanage your lives. I hope the relationship works out, but if it doesn't then no hard feelings. Truthfully, I'm rather fond of both of you. 
3088Frankenstein: My advice is just be yourself. That's what made her like you in the first place after all. 
3089Frankenstein: So are you ok? Do you have any questions?
3090M-21: Uh, no. I think I'm good. 
3091Frankenstein [smiles]: Okay. 
3092M-21: This… did not go how I thought it was going to at all. 
3093Frankenstein [chuckles]: Yeah, I bet you thought I'd pin you to the wall with dark spears and threaten you or something. 
3094M-21: Yeah, actually….
3095Frankenstein: It's fine. Nothing like that is going to happen. Let's finish our drinks and go back upstairs. I'm sure Tao and Takio are worried about you. 
3096M-21: Yeah. Ok.
3097...
3098[Tao and Takio outside]
3099Tao: Do you think he's alright in there?
3100Takio: Well… we haven't heard any screaming or explosions…. That's gotta be a good sign, right?
3101Tao: Should… should we go in and check?
3102[Tao: Maybe he's pinned him to the wall with dark energy bolts…]
3103[M-21 and Frankenstein come out]
3104Tao and Takio: M-21!
3105Tao: Are you ok? 
3106[Tao starts looking everywhere on him for holes]
3107M-21: Yeah, I'm ok.
3108Takio: What happened?
3109M-21: Just a talk. 
3110Tao and Takio: Just a talk?
3111Tao: Really? That's all?
3112M-21: Yeah. Just a talk. 
3113Tao [exhales]: Oh man, I was so worried. 
3114Takio: I can't believe you're ok. You are ok, right?
3115M-21: Yeah. 
3116Frankenstein: Like I said, it was just a talk. You guys worry too much. 
3117[Tao rubs his head looking embarrassed]
3118[Tao: Yeah, but it's you so…]
3119Frankenstein: Well if you'll excuse me. I need to go have a talk with Kate. 
3120[Frankenstein leaves]
3121M-21: Um… guys. I've never been on a date before…. 
3122Tao: Me neither…
3123Takio: Same…
3124Everyone: Shit….
3125
3126[Earlier]
3127Tao: So… what are you going to do about Kate?
3128M-21 [sighs]: I don't know. I guess I should tell her I changed my mind? 
3129Takio: Yeah. That's probably the safest thing to do. I can't imagine Frankenstein being too happy with that. 
3130M-21: Yeah. 
3131Tao: Although…
3132M-21: What?
3133Tao: If you turn her down and she starts crying… Frankenstein might not be too happy with that either….
3134M-21: …
3135M-21 [sighs]: Great. Is there any way to handle this where I don't end up dead?
3136Everyone: …
3137[Kate walks in]
3138Tao: Oh speak of the devil. There's Kate. 
3139[M-21 walks over to her]
3140Kate: Hi.
3141M-21: Um hi. 
3142M-21: Kate about before… maybe we should just stay friends….
3143Kate: …
3144Kate: Is that what you want? 
3145M-21: Yeah.
3146Kate: Ok. If that's what you want.
3147[M-21 exhales]
3148Kate: But *only* if that's what you want.
3149M-21: What?
3150Kate [smiles]: I won't accept it if you say it out of fear. 
3151[Kate leans in]
3152M-21: I… I… you… what are you doing?
3153Kate: The same thing I always do. 
3154M-21: Huh?
3155Kate: Whatever I want.
3156[Kate kisses him.]
3157[He hesitates but then kisses her back.]
3158Kate: I'll see you later. 
3159[Kate leaves.]
3160M-21 [dazed]: Ok. It's official. 
3161Tao: ?
3162M-21: I have no idea what I'm doing…
3163Everyone: ...
3164[Frankenstein was watching the whole time]
3165Frankenstein [sighs]: I really can't be mad at him...
3166
3167[Kate is standing in the kitchen drinking hot chocolate]
3168Frankenstein: Kate?
3169Kate: Yes?
3170Frankenstein: I think you owe me an explanation. 
3171Kate: ...
3172Kate: About the power?
3173Frankenstein: Yes. 
3174Frankenstein: I have no idea how on earth you did that. I didn't give you that much power. I gave you the same amount as Takio and Tao. In fact you specifically told me not to give you more power. 
3175Kate: Hm? That's not what I said. 
3176Frankenstein: Hm?
3177Kate: I said I didn't want you to put yourself at risk and I would figure it out on my own. 
3178Frankenstein: ...
3179Kate [sighs]: I'll tell you but you might not like it. 
3180Kate: So I kind of found a way to cheat with regards to that power. It doesn't just feed on souls. It can also feed on negative emotions. 
3181Frankenstein: Then it was fueled by your negative emotions? That amount of power… it doesn't seem possible…
3182Kate [shakes her head]: Not my emotions. If you know how to channel it it can feed on anyone's. 
3183Frankenstein: !
3184Kate: The only real limit is how much power you can pull. I uh… may have been harvesting the negative emotions of the people in this city for a while now… 
3185Frankenstein: What!?
3186Kate: Yeah… 
3187Kate: Although that was the first time I pulled that much. I pulled the negative emotions of the people in Werewolf territory. I'm not sure about the exact range… but it might have been all of them… 
3188Frankenstein: Holy shit! 
3189Kate: Yeah… Are you mad?
3190Frankenstein: I don't know if I should be mad at you or frightened of you… 
3191Frankenstein: Something like that… you could control even more of that dark power than me… 
3192Frankenstein: Is that even safe? I'm surprised you didn't end up getting eaten by that power…
3193Kate: Well I've been practicing… but yeah. That was definitely a risk. 
3194Kate: ...
3195Kate: Are you really frightened of me? That's unexpected. I thought you would be mad. Not frightened. 
3196Kate [sipping hot chocolate]: You know there's no reason for you to be. Nothing has changed. I'm still the same person. 
3197Kate: By the way, I have no intention of telling Takio and Tao about this. 
3198Frankenstein: Why not?
3199Kate: They're too reckless. I don't want them putting themselves in danger like that. It's one thing for me to be doing it, but I'm not sure anyone else could. Hell, I'm not even sure you could. 
3200Frankenstein: …
3201Frankenstein: I agree we shouldn't tell them, but I want to know everything about this. 
3202Kate: Is it because you want to try?
3203Frankenstein: Yes. 
3204Kate: ...
3205Kate [sighs]: I don't think that's a good idea. But I'll tell you about it and let you decide. 
3206Kate: Where to begin…
3207Kate: Well it started after you and Rai went to Lukedonia to stop the invasion. You said I wasn't strong enough to help. So after you left I entered the power of the dark spear. 
3208Frankenstein: You entered it? It didn't invade your mind?
3209Kate [nods]: I figured I should have a chat with it and find a way to make it stronger. We agreed to cooperate and the idea occurred to me that we might be able to pull power from negative emotions instead of souls. Kuro was skeptical…
3210Frankenstein: Kuro?
3211Kate: Yeah. That's what I named it. 
3212Kate: Anyway, Kuro was skeptical but curious. If we could find a way to do this it would basically be a limitless supply of power. Although there was the possibility that Kuro would betray me and try to eat me as well. 
3213Kate: So we started trying various ways to reach out and grab that power. At first it was like trying to grab smoke and I really wasn't sure if this would work. But then Kuro said to me "instead of chasing it, why don't you try calling it to you?" So what do you think is the best way to call that kind of power to you?
3214Frankenstein: ?
3215Kate: What do you think people want when they're scared or hurt? They want someone to comfort them. And so I tried that. 
3216Frankenstein: What?
3217Kate: Is it weird? Maybe it is weird. But it made perfect sense to me. 
3218Kate: And boy, did I get a response! It was insane! Suddenly I had WAY too much of that dark power. I actually might have been in trouble there… But Kuro saved me. 
3219Frankenstein: No way. 
3220Kate [nods]: I was surprised too. When I asked why he did that, he said it was because I was the only one that could call that power. It wasn't something Kuro could do because you needed to have empathy. If I was lost to that power it would disappear like water and Kuro didn't want that. 
3221Kate: He may have done it for his own reasons but if we didn't have at least that much of a relationship it would have ended right there. 
3222Kate: So now that I knew how to call it, I needed to learn how to turn it off. Kuro helped me with that too. Because in some ways our natures are opposites it was easy for me to call the power and for him to repel it. So we had to work together to find the right balance. And slowly we increased the amount of power that we could control. As a result Kuro also got stronger. So even when we aren't pulling power he's still stronger than before. 
3223Kate: Do you get it now? That's why I think it's a bad idea for you to try this. I have a good working relationship with Kuro, but you said the dark spear is always trying to eat you. If you did manage to tap into that power it'd be like throwing gasoline on a fire.
3224Frankenstein: So… do you trust Kuro?
3225Kate: Hm. Yes and no. I trust Kuro to do what's best for Kuro. It's still in his nature to betray, but as long as our interests align it should be fine. 
3226[Kate watches him, worried that he might still want to try it]
3227Frankenstein: That's insane…
3228Frankenstein [sighs]: You're right. It would be a bad idea to try that. It sounds like you got really lucky. 
3229Kate [nods]: Hm. Although after we've defeated our enemies I won't need it anymore. The only reason I went this far in the first place was because I need to be at the level of our enemies. So in that regard, I think it turned out quite well. 
3230Kate: If I hadn't developed this power and hadn't followed you to Werewolf territory, you and Rai would have had a hard time fighting Titan. And if I was even better at it I could have helped with that Maduk guy as well. 
3231Frankenstein: I suppose that's true…
3232[Frankenstein takes off glasses]
3233Frankenstein [sighs]: Seriously. Just when I think I can't be surprised anymore you surpass yourself. Developing your powers in such a way… that would never have occurred to me. 
3234[Kate smiles]
3235Kate: I'm sure it's been quite the rollercoaster. 
3236[Kate sips hot chocolate]
3237Frankenstein [sighs]: On an unrelated note, I hear you and M-21 are going out now. 
3238Kate: Well… yeah… 
3239Kate: Why? Is that a problem?
3240Frankenstein: No, no problem. I already spoke with him and told him it was fine. Although the idea of my little sister dating is a bit … unsettling, I'm trying to be good about it. [sighs] Besides I don't think there's any way I'm winning in that situation. So it's probably best for me to just stay out of it. 
3241Frankenstein: I had no idea you two had feelings for each other. 
3242Kate [smiles]: Yeah. It's complicated. When you first meet him he doesn't seem like the friendliest guy. But during the time I've spent with him… he's surprised me by stepping up on more than one occasion. And he's reckless when it comes to protecting people, just like you and Rai. Well, I guess I can't really say that anymore. It seems we're all a little reckless when it comes to that. Plus, the sass! I love the sass.
3243Kate: You do it too you know, when you're fighting.
3244Frankenstein: ?
3245Frankenstein [sighs and smiles]
3246
3247[Kate and M-21 on a picnic]
3248[M-21 keeps looking at her strangely]
3249Kate: What? You keep looking at me like I'm going to disappear. 
3250M-21: It's just weird. 
3251Kate: What is?
3252M-21: That… that you like me. 
3253Kate: It's not weird. You have a lot of good qualities. You're kind, loyal, brave, strong, personally I love how sassy you are, and you're good looking. I just wish you would get over your self esteem issues. 
3254[M-21 blushes]
3255Kate: What about me? You're not freaked out dating Frankenstein's little sister? Plus, I am kind of a monster. 
3256M-21: Yeah, I was kind of worried about Frankenstein, but he seems surprisingly cool with this. 
3257M-21: And you're not a monster. 
3258[Kate stares at him]
3259M-21: Ok, maybe sometimes you are. Your determination can be downright scary. And I don't think I've ever met someone as fearless as you.
3260[Kate chuckles]
3261M-21: But the rest of the time you're pretty nice. And I like that you won't let anyone die on you. That… means a lot to me. 
3262[Unpacking the picnic lunch]
3263M-21: All you packed is wine, strawberries and chocolate?
3264Kate: Yeah? 
3265M-21: Why not sandwiches?
3266Kate: Maybe next time, but I don't think we need them. 
3267[Kate puts a strawberry in her mouth and kisses him so that they each get part of the strawberry]
3268[M-21 looks stunned then smiles]
3269M-21: Yeah. Forget the sandwiches. 
3270[Pours glasses of wine]
3271[M-21 is lost in thought]
3272Kate: What's wrong?
3273M-21: I just never thought I'd be on a date like this. My life a year ago was so radically different from now.
3274Kate: Mine was too you know. 
3275M-21: But… doesn't that bother you? The sharp contrast between then and now? 
3276Kate: I guess I just don't really think about it. 
3277M-21: …
3278Kate: You seem to think about the past a lot. But I'm usually thinking about the future. 
3279Kate: How can I help Rai? Will I be strong enough to fight the enemies? Is Frankenstein taking on too much work? Is there anything I can do to help? Is there anything I haven't thought of that could happen? 
3280Kate: I don't have time for the past. I honestly don't care if Aris and Yuri are alive or dead. If the opportunity comes to kill them I'll kill them but it's not a major concern for me. 
3281M-21: I wonder if I think about the past too much….
3282Kate: I don't know. It was traumatic for you so I can see why you wouldn't be able to cast it off as easily as I do mine. 
3283M-21: ...
3284Kate: I think maybe when you're ready to move on you should choose a name. 
3285M-21: But I wanted to find my real name and the names of my colleagues. 
3286Kate: But that might not happen. Tao said Crombell destroyed all that info. 
3287M-21 [sighs]: Yeah…. 
3288Kate: ...
3289Kate: If you want, I can choose one for you. 
3290M-21: ?
3291Kate: It doesn't have to be now. Just let me know if you want me to do that. 
3292M-21: Yeah. Okay. 
3293M-21: ...
3294M-21: Kate?
3295Kate: Hm? 
3296M-21: Thanks for understanding. 
3297Kate: No problem. I'm trying to be a good girlfriend but I've never done this before. So I hope I don't screw it up. 
3298
3299[Frankenstein finds blood stones in the basement]
3300Frankenstein: What the hell is this!? Did Kate do this?
3301[Frankenstein goes to smash them]
3302[Kate stops him]
3303Kate: Don't. 
3304[Frankenstein: So it was you!]
3305Frankenstein: I will kill you!
3306Kate: Oh yeah? Well I'll let you! But only after you hear me out. 
3307[Frankenstein hesitates, then withdraws]
3308Frankenstein: Fine. Explain. 
3309Kate: It's for Rai.
3310Frankenstein: !
3311Kate: I've been working on it since you told me about the blood stone in Lukedonia. At first I thought such a thing was useless. Why would anyone want it if it turned them into a monster? But then I got the idea. If at its core it can store power, then maybe I could use it to help Rai. So I've been working on turning them into batteries. 
3312Kate: The other option I thought about after the Werewolves was that we could all implant them and continually give Rai power. I didn't want to tell anyone until it became a viable option. I was afraid the others would act recklessly and put themselves in danger. 
3313Kate: I was actually thinking about telling you soon anyway. I think I've gone as far as I can on my own. 
3314Frankenstein: Kate, you weren't thinking of using this on master without telling me were you?
3315Kate [surprised]: Of course not! Have I literally ever done anything with him without telling you? 
3316Frankenstein: Hmm.
3317[Frankenstein: That's true. She usually asks permission.]
3318Kate: I also wouldn't put something like this in him without telling him. In fact I didn't even want to mention it unless I was sure it was safe. If that thing turned him into a monster I'm sure it would be worse than death for him. 
3319Kate: I told you before. What I want is for everyone to live here happily. Dying is not allowed. And turning Rai into a monster is not allowed. 
3320Kate: So what do you want to do? Do you want to destroy them? Or work on them?
3321Frankenstein: ….
3322[Frankenstein: After the recent battles in Werewolf territory master doesn't have much time left. And I also thought of such a thing. It might be possible….]
3323Frankenstein [sighs]: Fine. We can work on them. But under no circumstances are you to do anything without me.
3324[Kate nods]
3325
3326[Everyone is gathered]
3327Frankenstein [whispering]: Kate, are you sure you want to do this with the Lord here?
3328Kate [whispering]: Yeah. She cares about Rai too. So it's only fair. 
3329Kate: So guys, we have something to tell you. We may have solved Rai's problem!
3330Everyone: !
3331Tao: You mean how his power keeps using his life force? 
3332[Kate nods]
3333Kate: It's the bloodstones.
3334Everyone: !!!
3335Regis: What!? You can't be talking about that cursed object!
3336Kate [nods]: I made a bunch of bloodstones. 
3337Regis Grandpa: What the fuck!? Frankenstein did you help with this!?
3338Frankenstein: Yes. Although not initially. 
3339Lord [to Kate and Frankenstein]: Is this true? You did this?
3340Kate: Yes.
3341[Lord stand up and starts activating her power]
3342[Lord: I can't believe they would do something like this! Especially after all the recent battles.]
3343Lord: I will kill you and destroy the bloodstones. 
3344Kate: Go for it. 
3345Frankenstein [alarmed]: Kate!
3346Everyone: !!!
3347Lord: You think you can stop me?
3348Kate [calmly]: No. I don't intend to try. 
3349[Lord stops using power]
3350Lord: What?
3351Kate [smiles wryly and shakes her head]: You guys. You never seem to understand me.
3352Kate: I told you even without the power I'm a monster. I know I don't think like other people think. So if you think what I did is that bad, then chances are you're right.
3353Kate: And actually if it makes you feel any better when Frankenstein first found out he said he was going to kill me too.
3354Kate: He really meant it.
3355Everyone: ….
3356Kate: There are exactly three people I trust like that and they're all in this room. 
3357[Points to Rai] You.  
3358Rai: !
3359[Points to the Lord] You.
3360Lord: !
3361[Points to Frankenstein] You. 
3362Frankenstein: !
3363Kate: Personally I don't think I did anything wrong, but I trust your judgment. As long as you hear me out, I won't stop you. 
3364M-21: But why…
3365Kate: I like being a monster. But that's not the kind of monster I want to be. 
3366Kate: I want to be the kind of monster that loves to eat cookies and fights to protect the people they care about. I like being Frankenstein's little sister and I want to help Rai.
3367Frankenstein: Kate… 
3368Kate: However…
3369Kate [to Lord]: I won't let you hurt my brother. That I will fight you on. 
3370Frankenstein: What?
3371Kate: Frankenstein, I started this without you and I'll end it without you. There's no reason for you to get dragged into my mess.
3372Frankenstein: That's true but… 
3373Kate [shakes her head]: That's not the kind of little sister I want to be. 
3374[Frankenstein: Is... she really protecting me from the Lord!?]
3375[Tao: Is she even crazier than Frankenstein? This is the equivalent of staring down someone with a loaded gun and telling them to shoot you…]
3376[Kate [sighs]: Maybe I should have done this after dinner… The timing is regrettable…]
3377[M-21: Kate…]
3378[Lord: Is she serious? Does she really trust us that much? I'm not sure what to do…]
3379Rai: Raskeria.
3380Lord: Hm?
3381Rai: I think we should hear her out.
3382Lord [sighs]: Very well. 
3383[Lord sits down again]
3384Kate: Anyways, we figured out how to use the bloodstones as a battery. We can supply it with power that Rai can use in an emergency. 
3385Everyone: …
3386Kate [holds up hand]: And that's not all. We also made them into these rings. So that we can continually supply him with power. 
3387Lord: And when did Frankenstein join in on this?
3388Frankenstein [sighs]: Just a few days ago. I found the bloodstones in the basement and confronted her about them.
3389Grandpa: Wait, really!?
3390Kate: Yeah. Why?
3391Grandpa: So you did most of this without Frankenstein?
3392Kate: Yeah?
3393Grandpa: Holy shit! There really are two of you…
3394Rai: Kate. Frankenstein. Why didn't you tell us about this?
3395Kate: Cause you would have said no. You're really bad about asking for help. And I didn't want to mention it until it was a viable option. 
3396Frankenstein: Sorry, master… 
3397Kate: So, what do you think Rai?
3398Rai: … Is something like this safe?
3399Frankenstein: We tested it as thoroughly as we could. Although I can't be 100% certain I'm fairly confident it's safe.
3400Kate [nods]: That was actually our first priority. As I told Frankenstein, my goal is to live here with all of you. So I did my best to make sure it's safe for everyone. 
3401Frankenstein: Master, will you try it out? If you don't like it you can simply take the ring off. 
3402Rai: …. 
3403Rai: Alright. 
3404[Rai puts on the ring]
3405Kate: So what do you think?
3406Rai: I am receiving power from the two of you?
3407[Kate nods]
3408Frankenstein: Yes, that's right. Our power will recover, unlike yours.
3409Rai: I see. 
3410Rai: Are you certain you wish to do this?
3411Kate: Yes.
3412Frankenstein: Naturally. 
3413Kate: And anyone else that wants to join in can have a ring too.
3414M-21: Well, naturally if it's safe I'll join in. 
3415Tao: Same.
3416Takio: You don't even need to ask.
3417[The Nobles look at Raskeria.]
3418[Raskeria looks at the rings.]
3419[Rai looks at his ring.]
3420[Rai: Hmm. Maybe I should take it off…]
3421Raskeria: Am I correct in assuming you all want to do this?
3422Regis: W-well… 
3423Raskeria [sighs]: I'm not sure about the wisdom of this… 
3424Kate: If you want us to take them off we will, but right now this is the only way we can help him. 
3425Kate: Like I said, I myself don't know if I did the right thing. Maybe I did the wrong thing for the right reasons but I don't regret it. I would have regretted not trying. 
3426[Raskeria looks at the rings and looks at Raizel]
3427Raskeria: Cardis Etrama di Raizel. What do you think? Do you think it's safe?
3428Rai: I can't be certain, but it seems to be… 
3429[Raskeria sighs]
3430Raskeria: Alright. We'll try this for now. 
3431Raskeria: Anyone that wants to can take a ring.
3432Kate: Kay. I'll explain how they work. 
3433Kate: I noticed how your power works, Rai. When you drink our blood we get powers, but when we drink your blood you get power. So we gave the bloodstones your blood. 
3434Rai: ?
3435Kate: When we were in Werewolf territory we saw their Lord sucking the power out of the warriors with the bloodstones. I figured out that they must all have been inoculated with his blood. Then when they were placed in the warriors it was the equivalent of them drinking his blood thereby granting him power. 
3436Kate: It seems to create a master/slave relationship between the bloodstones. If more than one person's blood is used, the stronger person wins and becomes the "master". 
3437Rai: Frankenstein. Is this why you took my blood a few days ago?
3438Frankenstein: Yes.
3439Kate: We played around with it a bit to see if we could pass power to each other. If you can establish a connection with it it's possible to control how much power you want to put out.  Of course the "master" ring controls them all. In theory, if Rai wanted to he could suck up all our power. 
3440Everyone: !
3441Kate: Although there's an easy fix for that. You can just take your rings off. 
3442Everyone [exhales]
3443Kate: That was actually the part Frankenstein helped me with the most. He's good at turning his power into jewelry you can wear.
3444Kate: I also tried to create a fail safe where the ring would stop transmitting power if you went below 20%, but I'm not sure how effective that would be. It's possible the "master" ring could override that… 
3445Kate [to Rai]: So basically, if you're in a fight you should probably take the ring off. But otherwise it's fine. And hopefully, you can slowly accumulate power and restore your vitality. 
3446M-21: Whoa...
3447Tao: Wow… I thought the boss was amazing but you're incredible too… 
3448Grandpa: I have a question. You said that the rings compete and the one with the most powerful blood wins. Then is it safe to assume the Lord can't participate?
3449Kate: Nope. Doesn't work like that because the rings haven't been exposed to her blood. Just Raizel's. 
3450Grandpa: Ah.
3451Kate: Also, these don't have an innate power supply. So without a "master" ring they basically just sit there and look pretty. 
3452Kate: So what do you guys think? Pretty neat right?
3453Karius: That's really insane…
3454Grandpa: Indeed. I thought if anyone could fix Raizel it would be Frankenstein...
3455Frankenstein: Kate seems to notice things that other people don't. 
3456Kate [nods]: Honestly that might be my greatest asset. In terms of technical skills or combat skills I'm not bad but Frankenstein is still way better than me. And I couldn't have done this with my skills alone. 
3457Frankenstein: So, who wants a ring?
3458Everyone: Me!
3459[Frankenstein takes out a box with rings and passes them out]
3460Kate: Now focus on the ring and establish a connection with it and you should be able to give Rai however much power you want. 
3461[Raizel is suddenly engulfed in power]
3462Rael: Whoa! 
3463Frankenstein: That's amazing his lifespan is recovering… 
3464[Kate smiles]
3465Frankenstein: It's a long way from being complete but he's getting better. 
3466Kate: As long as the rate of input exceeds the rate of loss he should be fine. We don't need to make him better in a single day. 
3467Kate: Anyways, moving on. There's one other project you guys can help with. 
3468[Kate takes out vials of red liquid]
3469Regis: What are those?
3470Kate: Bloodstones we liquified. The idea is to supply them with some power. Then they can be used as batteries in case Rai needs a power boost. 
3471Raskeria: But is that necessary? We already have the rings…
3472Kate [smiles]: I know what you mean, but you know how Rai is. Really he probably should have stayed out of all the recent battles, but that's just not his nature. So chances are he'll do it again. 
3473Everyone: ?
3474Rai: ?
3475Kate: So if that happens and he drains all his power, he can drink one of these and it should keep him from dying. All we need to do is give them some power. 
3476Everyone: Ok.
3477[Everyone holds their hands over the vials and pushes power into them]
3478Kate: That should be good. 
3479Kate: Ok Rai, you take one and keep it with you. The rest I'm locking in maximum security. 
3480Karius: Why maximum security?
3481Kate: Because of the nature of the bloodstones. These might be harmless on their own, but if someone put their blood into them they could cause some serious problems. Like awakening powers or contracts or master/servant relationships. Very bad juju.
3482Everyone: !
3483Tao: I didn't even think about that…
3484Kate: Yeah, it's because I notice things. 
3485Kate [exhales]: Well this has been a very productive evening. I'll go lock these up and come back for dinner. 
3486[Kate hesitates]
3487Kate: On second thought maybe Frankenstein should come with me. 
3488Frankenstein: Why? 
3489Kate: It might be better to always have two people handle these things. That way we know no one has messed with them. 
3490Frankenstein: …
3491Frankenstein: Ok.
3492Kate: And everyone please keep in mind that we don't know about the long term effects of this. Although it should be safe I don't think anyone has tried to use the bloodstones like this before. So if you notice anything strange please tell me or Frankenstein right away!
3493
3494[At dinner]
3495Tao: Seriously, I had no idea you were working on something like that in the lab!
3496Kate [laughs]: What did you think I was doing? Playing solitaire?
3497M-21: Maybe experiments on yourself?
3498Kate: Oh I did that too. 
3499M-21: Seriously!?
3500Kate: Yeah. Remember how I can reattach my limbs? When I wasn't working on the bloodstone project I did things like that. Mostly I focused on healing and regeneration. Then when I was outside the lab I focused on training to get stronger. 
3501Rael: Wait! Are you saying your strength is solely through training? Not experiments!? 
3502Kate: Mmh. Like 80%? Frankenstein and I did do a little bit of strengthening but mostly it was healing. Basically it was annoying to wait for my body to heal. I wanted it to heal faster so I could get back to training. 
3503Karius: I didn't know you did that. 
3504Kate: Yeah. You were mostly focused on the guys.
3505Takio: Damn… 
3506Regis: Wait, but how did you know about the bloodstones?
3507Kate: Hm? I heard about them when Rai and Frankenstein came back from Lukedonia. 
3508Regis: No that's not what I mean. How did you know how to make them?
3509Everyone [stares at Kate]
3510Kate: Oh that. Yeah that was actually the hard part. 
3511Kate [to Frankenstein]: You uh... might not be happy with this part.
3512Kate: Well you didn't have what I needed here to research them. So I thought, where could I get what I need? And boom! The union. 
3513Everyone: ……
3514Everyone: WHAT!?
3515Kate: Yeah… I may have broken into their facilities a few times… 
3516Everyone: ?
3517Frankenstein: Wait, are you serious right now!? You broke into their facilities, not once but several times, BY YOURSELF!!!
3518Kate [clears throat]: Yeah… 
3519Tao: HOW!? How did you do this!? And how did we not know about this!? 
3520Kate: I guess that's just part of my abilities. I notice things, but they don't notice me. How many times have I slipped into or out of a room without you noticing? 
3521Rael: You literally do it all the time. You could give the Kertia family a run for its money. 
3522[Kate shrugs]
3523Kate: Between that, looking like you belong, and having a believable cover story ready it's really not that hard to access the lower level areas. Then I just had to access the computers and find what I needed. Of course something like how to make bloodstones was restricted, but there's ways around that too. 
3524Tao: But there's no way it's that simple! How did you get past all the electronic surveillance? 
3525Kate: Well… about that…
3526[Kate puts her hand on the table and dark power runs through it]
3527Rael: What the-!?
3528Kate: Yeah. This power is actually super useful. I can use it to find hidden cameras, bioscanners, heat detectors, pretty much anything. 
3529Tao: Whoa…
3530Frankenstein: ...Kuro?
3531Kate: Kuro. 
3532Kate: Of course I couldn't knock them out because then they would get suspicious. But I can freeze them for a few seconds and put them on a loop. They won't notice anything unless they're looking. Same thing with the bioscanners. Once someone passes through they're supposed to reset, but I can freeze them so they don't. Then I go through the motions and no one is the wiser. 
3533Kate: But that was just for the first round. 
3534Takio: What?
3535Kate: Then I created a fake ID in their system saying I was an official there for an inspection of their latest research. 
3536Frankenstein: But what if it wasn't the research you were looking for? 
3537Kate: Doesn't matter. I'll still get a tour of the facility with no one suspecting anything. 
3538Karius: But wouldn't they get suspicious if you just dropped out of nowhere like that? 
3539Kate: Nope. I told them I was one of 3rd elders people. 
3540Everyone: !!!
3541Tao: What!?
3542Frankenstein: Actually that would make a really good cover…. No one would want to question someone with those credentials. 
3543Kate: Exactly. And if they have a problem with it I just tell them to take it up with the 3rd elder. 
3544Kate: Then I just had to find the person with the highest clearance because they're most likely to have access to what I needed. I cause an emergency that suddenly requires their attention and oops~! Look who left their computer open and unattended? It sure would be a shame if someone used said computer to steal the data on bloodstones. And if anyone looks at the records it looks like they did it, not me since I never hacked in. Then just as mysteriously as I came, I disappear into the night. 
3545M-21, Tao, Takio: Damn… 
3546Kate: Yeah. Can you believe not one person stopped me for more than a second to ask who I was or what I was doing there? Crazy right? Whole thing took less than a week. 
3547Regis: Less than a week!? So was this where you were when you left for a few days to do some "training"?
3548Kate: Yep. 
3549Regis: What the hell!?
3550Kate: So then I just had to gather the materials and work on creating them. That took a while, but wasn't nearly as exciting. 
3551[Kate sips hot chocolate]
3552Everyone: Damn… 
3553Kate: Yeah, that's why the bloodstone thing is like 99.9% my fault. Frankenstein just sort of found out about it at the end. I was debating whether I should tell him and ask for his help or just scrap the whole thing since I couldn't get them into an acceptable form. Plus, that kind of thing is hard to test with only one person. 
3554M-21: But… why did you do all this?
3555Kate: Hm? What do you mean why? Isn't it obvious?
3556Everyone: ???
3557Kate [stunned]: Seriously!? ?‍♀️
3558Kate: Because there was a chance it could help Rai!!!
3559Rai: !!!!
3560Frankenstein: !!!!
3561Raskeria: !!!!
3562Everyone: !!!!!!
3563Kate [annoyed]: Honestly! Why else would I bother!? I mean I know I'm a bit different but I didn't think something so obvious needed saying… [sighs sadly] Maybe I really am too different… for you guys to misunderstand this much… 
3564[M-21 rubs her back]
3565M-21: Sorry, I should have known. Of course there'd be only one reason you would do something like that. 
3566Frankenstein: Yeah. Honestly I should have known too. 
3567Rai [stunned]: You did all this for me?
3568Kate [crying]: Why else!? If you died everyone would be sad! Don't you know that!? Even if you hated me for trying… I still had to do it! 
3569[Frankenstein is rubbing her back too.]
3570Frankenstein: It's alright Kate. No one hates you. 
3571[Kate gets up and runs out of the room]
3572Everyone: ……
3573Everyone: Damn… 
3574Regis: Wow… I've never seen her cry before. 
3575Rael: Yeah. Even when I cut off her arm she just got up like nothing had happened. She even laughed… 
3576Tao: Come to think of it… I don't think I've ever seen her scared or upset…
3577M-21: Yeah. She always seems fearless and indestructible. Actually, seeing her cry like that is one of the most unsettling things I've ever seen… 
3578[Seria nods]
3579Takio: Wow… 
3580[Rai looks helplessly at Frankenstein]
3581Frankenstein: Yeah… I'll go and check on her. 
3582
3583[Kate's sitting outside on the balcony]
3584Kate [sniffling]
3585Frankenstein: Kate? Are you ok?
3586Kate: No!
3587Frankenstein [sighs]
3588[Frankenstein sits down next to her]
3589Frankenstein: Kate, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you like that. 
3590Kate [sobbing]: I tried really hard! You have no idea! And I couldn't tell anyone because you would try to stop me! 
3591[Frankenstein rubs her back and she curls up next to him and cries]
3592Kate: I can't do this anymore! I can't be the strong one! I tried so hard to be strong enough to protect everyone! Even when you got mad at me! Even if you hated me! I still… I thought you understood… 
3593Frankenstein: You're right. I probably should have. I think you've tried harder than anyone to protect everyone. ... You even tried to protect me from the Lord. 
3594Kate: None of this was your fault. It wouldn't be fair. It isn't fair that you always get blamed for things… 
3595Kate: I feel… broken… 
3596[Frankenstein [suddenly feels very alarmed]]
3597[Frankenstein: I don't know what to say to her…]
3598Frankenstein [softly]: Kate… 
3599[Frankenstein pulls her close and hugs her, rubbing her back]
3600[Frankenstein: I never imagined Kate, of all people, breaking like this…]
3601[Kate's sobs become less]
3602[Frankenstein remembering [Kate: Everyone would be sad if you died! Don't you know that!?][Kate [grabbing Takio] What the hell were you thinking!?][Kate: Am I your sister? Frankenstein: Do you want to be?] [Frankenstein: I'll kill you! Kate: Oh yeah? Well I'll let you!][Kate: I trust your judgment. Even if you kill me, as long as you hear me out first.] [Kate: I won't let you hurt my brother.] [Kate: Even though I can't beat you in ten lifetimes… I'm still going to get up every single time.] [Kate: But will you be ok? Frankenstein: Me? Why is that your concern? Kate: You're my brother. Naturally you matter more to me than some power.][Kate: Rai, you're not alone anymore!]]
3603[Frankenstein: She really has tried harder than anyone… And then everyone didn't know why she did it… Is it because of her face? Because it's so hard to read? No one can tell what she's thinking… Although she was very vocal about what she thought. It must be frustrating for her.]
3604[Frankenstein: I see. Beneath the poker face and the monstrous abilities, she still felt everything. She just couldn't make us see it because of the disconnect between what she was feeling and her facial expressions.]
3605[Frankenstein remembering [Kate: I'm a monster. I've always been that way.]]
3606[Kate sobbing]
3607Frankenstein [sighs]: Kate, I think I've let you down as a brother. 
3608Kate: ?
3609Frankenstein: I should have realized what you were thinking. I should have listened to you more. You did everything for us, didn't you? 
3610Frankenstein: You were amazing. The way you stood up to the Lord. The way you figured out the bloodstones. You've always been amazing. 
3611Kate [sighs]: Why is it so hard to make people understand me? It's one thing for everyone to disagree with how I did it. I expected them to be mad about that, but for them to not know why… 
3612Frankenstein: I don't know. It just is. But don't worry. I'll have a talk with them. I think you crying scared them more than anything. 
3613[Kate smiles]
3614Kate: Frankenstein? You're a good brother. 
3615Frankenstein: You're a better sister than I am a brother. 
3616Frankenstein: Also Kate?
3617Kate: Hm?
3618Frankenstein: No more secret missions. 
3619Kate: I don't need to. I did what I wanted to do. 
3620
3621[In the dining room]
3622Tao: Wow. I can't believe she infiltrated the union like that…
3623Takio: Yeah. That actually would have been really dangerous for someone like us. If she was caught she could have easily been captured by them… 
3624Regis: And she must have known how we would react to the idea of using bloodstones… She risked everything for this… 
3625Grandpa: I don't understand. Even if she has been hanging around Frankenstein… how can she do something like this?
3626Takio: Oh I guess you don't know about that. She was Aris's research assistant. So she's not totally new to this.
3627Tao: Wow. That takes me back. Remember when we used to see her in the lab? She was always cold, indifferent, obedient to Aris… 
3628Taiko: Yeah. I had no idea she was being experimented on too… 
3629Tao: She's like a totally different person now. I never would have expected that person to do something like this… 
3630Rael: But why did she do this when the Lord was here? She could have waited until she left… 
3631Tao: !!!
3632Tao [shocked]: No way…
3633Rael: What?
3634Tao: Could it be that she intentionally did this because the Lord is here!?
3635Everyone: ?
3636M-21: That… might be the case… knowing her… 
3637Grandpa: Really!?
3638M-21: You saw her. The Lord said she was going to kill her and she just said "go ahead" without any hesitation. She wasn't surprised at all… 
3639Seria [nods]: Kate is smart. I find it hard to believe she wouldn't anticipate such a thing… 
3640Regis: Then did she do this thinking she wouldn't be killed…?
3641Seria: I doubt that is the case. It was more like… she just accepted whatever the outcome would be…
3642Everyone: ...
3643Takio: Whoa. Her resolve is… 
3644Tao: Wow. The more I think about it the crazier it gets… She even protected Frankenstein!
3645Grandpa: I never thought I'd see anyone protect Frankenstein of all people...
3646M-21: I feel really shitty about asking her why… She did all this to save Rai… 
3647Karius: Actually… that might not be entirely accurate… 
3648Tao: What do you mean?
3649Karius: She couldn't have known this would work. It's more like… there was just a chance… 
3650Tao: Then she risked everything… just for a chance…? She risked angering two of the most powerful people in the world, just for a chance!? 
3651M-21: T-that is the kind of thing she would do… 
3652Grandpa: I thought Frankenstein was a handful… but she makes him look sane… 
3653[Raskeria: Is this really true? She really did all this, just for a chance!?]
3654[Raskeria: I've never seen anyone with such strong resolve before…] 
3655
3656[Frankenstein and Kate go back]
3657M-21: Um Kate… sorry about before… 
3658Raskeria: Kate. I want to ask you something. Did you do this because I was here?
3659Kate: That's right. 
3660Frankenstein: Wait, what!? Not in spite of her being here, but because she was here!?
3661Kate: That's right. 
3662Frankenstein: Why!?
3663Kate: It needed to be that way or the Nobles couldn't participate. You guys would have had to inform the Lord before doing something like this right? 
3664Regis: That's true… 
3665Kate: And I really didn't want to do this a second time… 
3666Raskeria: You confronted two of the most powerful beings in the world, knowing full well that the outcome might not be in your favor?
3667Kate: That's right. 
3668Raskeria: And you did all of this to help the Noblesse?
3669Kate: That's right. 
3670Raskeria: Kate. I wish to apologize. I had no idea you went to such lengths to help Raizel. 
3671[Kate looks at Raizel]
3672Rai: Kate. Do you really have no fear of me killing you? 
3673Kate [smiles]: Well maybe a little.
3674Kate [smiles with acceptance]: In case you were wondering, that was not a one time deal but a standing offer. As long as you hear me out first, I really don't mind. 
3675Kate: You don't have to agree with me. If you hear me out and still think I should die, then I am resolved to accept that.
3676M-21: Kate, do you… just not care if you die? 
3677Kate: No. I do care. You've seen me fight. No matter how desperate the situation is I never give up. 
3678M-21: Then why….
3679Kate: It's not about living. It's about how you live.
3680M-21: !
3681Rael: But… why would you not fight if one of them is trying to kill you? It's not like you're weak. If you turned into that demon thing and used a bloodstone… I'm not even sure we could kill you…. 
3682[Frankenstein: Actually… that's true…. Because of the way she uses that dark energy, she already has an almost limitless supply of power. If you throw in a bloodstone on top of that…. Jeez… when did she become such a monster?]
3683Kate: Well… yeah… but why would I? 
3684Rael: What?
3685Everyone: ?
3686Kate: That was never the point. Besides I already told you, these don't have an innate power supply. 
3687Kate: Making a bloodstone with an innate power supply is different from making one without an innate power supply. It requires a sacrifice of life energy. 
3688Everyone: !
3689M-21: Wait… does that mean all the bloodstones we saw when we were in Werewolf territory… were made by sacrificing people?
3690Kate: Well not the ones in the warriors, but definitely the one in Maduk. The warriors weren't given bloodstones that increased their power. They were the sacrifices. I don't know about the original bloodstone but I can tell you that all the fakes were made that way. That power doesn't just come from nowhere you know.
3691Kate: The bloodstones that use life energy also feed on the life of their user. That's why they feel compelled to obtain greater power. They need to replace their own vanishing life force. 
3692Kate: These weren't made that way. Just like how the bloodstones in the warriors didn't grant them power, these don't grant us any power either. 
3693M-21: Kate… that's some pretty scary shit….
3694Kate: I know. But these aren't like that. These were specifically designed to help Rai. They don't use life energy. I just needed them to be able to hold and transfer power. They also take our will into account because you need to establish a connection with the ring in order for it to work. And it's not permanent. You can just take the ring off.
3695Kate: I didn't tell you to kill me because I thought this was fun. I know how dangerous these things can be. 
3696Kate: Besides I haven't been fighting so that I can survive. I've been fighting because I want *all* of us to survive. 
3697Everyone: !
3698Kate: If I just wanted me to live I didn't need to do all this. But if someone didn't do something, Rai would die. And I wasn't about to let that happen without a fight. 
3699Rai: !
3700Kate: Who knows? Maybe someday I will cross a line. But like I said, if it's any of you three I don't intend to fight you. 
3701Frankenstein: Kate… [sighs] I can't even be mad at you…. 
3702[Frankenstein: She's already thought it through to this point, hasn't she?]
3703Kate: Well Rai risks his life for us all the time. [crosses her arms] My turn. 
3704Tao: Wow….
3705Rai: Kate. I'm sorry. I had no idea…. Thank you for doing this for me. 
3706Grandpa [sighs]: I can't believe anyone would go to such lengths besides Frankenstein… 
3707[Raskeria and Raizel look at each other]
3708[They both bow to Kate and Frankenstein]
3709Everyone: !!!
3710Grandpa: L-lord!
3711Frankenstein: Master?
3712Raskeria: She has done a great service to the Noblesse. You as well Frankenstein.
3713Tao: Whoa… 
3714Kate: Please stop it. 
3715[Everyone looks at her]
3716Kate: It's enough if you understand why I did it. 
3717Kate [sighs]: Honestly I would rather we just forget about it. 
3718Everyone: !
3719Raskeria: What do you mean? 
3720Kate: I didn't do this for you to thank me. I knew perfectly well that you might end up killing me or hating me. I just did it because I wanted Rai to be alright. [Blushes] And besides, crying is embarrassing…  So as long as you understand, I'd rather everyone just forget about it. 
3721Raskeria: Alright. If that is your wish… 
3722[Rael: Seriously!? She went to such lengths and she just wants us to forget about it!?]
3723Kate: Also M-21? I'm sorry for being a shitty girlfriend. 
3724M-21: ?
3725Kate: If I had died on you that would have been pretty shitty of me, but this was in motion long before we became a thing. I had to see it through. 
3726M-21: Yeah that would have been pretty shitty. But honestly I still think you crying is the scariest thing you've done… 
3727Kate: ?
3728Everyone [nods]
3729Rael: Scarier than when you reattached your arm… 
3730Tao: Scarier than when you turned into some kind of demon… 
3731Seria: Scarier than when you fight… 
3732Karius: Scarier than your crazy pain tolerance… 
3733Takio: Scarier than that time you fought Muzaka… 
3734Grandpa: What!? She fought Muzaka!?
3735Frankenstein: That's right. 
3736Raskeria: Why would…
3737Kate [not talking]
3738Frankenstein: She said and I quote "Rai's friend was being a dumbass" 
3739Grandpa: ?
3740Kate: Hmph! That guy… I don't trust him to tie his own shoelaces.
3741Frankenstein: Yeah. She did that when we were in Lukedonia dealing with the invasion… It was quite the surprise when we came home… 
3742Kate [sighs]: Oh who cares? That was a while ago. Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if you're just jealous because I fought him before you did. 
3743Grandpa [weakly]: Frankenstein… she really is your sister…
3744Karius: Um… should I be worried? 
3745Kate: Not unless you're a chocolate chip cookie. 
3746Tao [laughing/ relieved]: Hahaha! Ah man! Typically Kate! She doesn't care unless it's chocolate!
3747Kate [smiles]: I am the cookie monster~!
3748M-21 [smiles/ exasperated]: Oh my god!
3749[All the humans start laughing]
3750[Raskeria, Rael, and Grandpa look concerned]
3751[Regis, Seria, Karius, and Rai smile]
3752Grandpa: There's two of them… oh my god there's two of them… two Frankensteins….
3753Kate: Regis I think Grandpa is traumatized. 
3754Grandpa: Grand...pa….?
3755Rael: Hey! You can't call him Grandpa like that!
3756Kate [giggles]: Hehehe! Grandpa~! Grandpa~! Grandpa~! I'm going to get more hot chocolate!
3757Frankenstein: Oh my gosh! [sighs/ smiles] Well today has been one hell of a day.
3758
3759[After the rings]
3760M-21 [sighs]: I can't believe you did that. You do a lot of crazy things but this was the craziest yet.
3761Kate: Yeah. Instead of Kate my name should be Icarus.
3762M-21: Who's Icarus?
3763Kate: Icarus' father Daedalus created the labyrinth for the minotaur in Greek mythology. Eventually he and his son Icarus were imprisoned in the labyrinth and Daedalus made wax wings for them to escape. But Icarus flew too close to the sun and his wings burned and he fell. 
3764M-21 [looks worried]: Is that what's going to happen to you?
3765Kate [looks thoughtful]: I don't know. I hope not but the truth is… I'm not afraid to burn. 
3766M-21: Kate…
3767Kate: What about you? What price would you pay for freedom? 
3768M-21: The price of freedom? 
3769Kate [nods]: Icarus did it for freedom. And I… I intend to be myself, to whatever end. Even if that means burning. I suppose that's a kind of freedom too. 
3770Kate: So what are you willing to burn for? 
3771M-21: I…
3772[M-21: What am I willing to burn for?]
3773M-21 [shakes head]: How do you do it? 
3774Kate: Hm?
3775M-21: How do you make me feel so alive? 
3776Kate [smiles]: Maybe I'm the sun you're flying too close to. 
3777[They kiss.]
3778Kate: If I am, do you regret it?
3779M-21: No. Somehow… I can't seem to regret it.
3780M-21 [smiles]: I guess some things are worth burning for. 
3781Kate [smiles]: That might be the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me.
3782
3783[Watching Muzaka's video]
3784Muzaka: By the time you see this I'll be fighting with Raizel. He'll try to avoid it but he'll have no choice if he wants to stop me. 
3785Kate: I don't believe this… 
3786Muzaka: But it's not for revenge this time. It's to save him. 
3787Frankenstein: What? 
3788Muzaka: I'm going to use this fight to transfer all my power to him. Even my life force. 
3789Kate: That stupid frickin… we already fixed him! 
3790Muzaka: I'm not sure if it will work so I'm giving you the coordinates, Frankenstein. 
3791[Video ends]
3792Kate [clenching her fists]: I don't believe this…. I thought I knocked some sense into him! His reasons are different but he's still doing it again! Why the hell is this his solution to everything!? 
3793Frankenstein: I'm going to the coordinates. 
3794Kate: I need to leave for a while. I need to break something… 
3795M-21: I'll go with you. 
3796
3797[In the forest. Kate is punching trees apart and tearing up the land]
3798Kate: That stupid frickin idiot! 
3799M-21: At least he had good intentions this time…
3800Kate: That is literally the only good thing you can say about this!!!
3801Kate: Do you have any idea how hard I tried to fix him! Do you!? And now this idiot is going to break him again!
3802[Kate punches a tree]
3803Kate: AAARGH!!!!
3804[Kate sinks down]
3805Kate: I can't fucking believe this…. 
3806[M-21 sits down with her]
3807M-21: He probably didn't know...
3808Kate: Well he didn't ask, did he? Nobody ever frickin asks! They just do what they want and then we have to pick up the pieces! 
3809M-21 [sighs]: You're right. You and Frankenstein tried harder than anyone to fix him. 
3810Kate: If Muzaka weren't dead I would kill him for this! I hate people sacrificing themselves for me more than anything! And I'm sure Rai feels the same way. 
3811Kate: There's no way he would want to live because of that… 
3812M-21: ...
3813[M-21: She's right. I wouldn't want that either…]
3814M-21: Dammit…. 
3815
3816[After Muzaka tries to save Rai by transferring all his power to him]
3817[Muzaka is alive]
3818Kate: Ugh. That idiot!
3819Frankenstein: Master and I are going to Werewolf territory to heal him.
3820Kate: Hey Frankenstein, when he wakes up tell that idiot he's an idiot! He may have meant well but he did psychologically damage to Rai!
3821Kate: Seriously! We could have just given him a ring! Idiot!!!
3822M-21: You ok?
3823Kate: I'm just so pissed off! I swear Rai and his messiah complex! And his friend is hands down the biggest idiot I've ever met in my life! Hmph! Lord of the Werewolves? More like king of the idiots! 
3824Tao: I can't believe you're calling the lord of the Werewolves, king of the idiots like that…. 
3825Kate: Hmph! At least you guys have learned not to die on me. And Rai was making progress too. I just hope he doesn't get any stupid ideas out of guilt. Stupid frickin Muzaka! Next time I see him I'm gonna punch him in the face!
3826Everyone: ….
3827
3828[Crombell takes over the union]
3829[Crombell wants to wipe out humanity]
3830Kate: Goddammit! [Sighs] Frankenstein I'm coming over. 
3831Frankenstein: Hm? Why?
3832Kate: I'm pretty sure that idiot will wake up soon. And he'll know where Crombell is. Plus, I really want to punch him in the face!
3833Frankenstein: ...
3834Frankenstein: Fine. See you soon. 
3835
3836Kate: Hey, Muzaka!
3837[BOOM!]
3838[Punches him in the face hard]
3839Muzaka: What the hell!?
3840Everyone: What the fuck are you doing!?
3841Kate: That's for all the bullshit you put Rai through!
3842[Kate sighs and takes out a healing potion.]
3843Kate: Here. Drink this idiot. 
3844[Muzaka drinks it and gets better]
3845Muzaka: What the hell!? How did you do that?
3846Kate [snorts]: Idiot! Now come on, we need to have a chat with you. 
3847Lunark: K-Kate…?
3848Kate: Hm? Oh what up, sis!
3849[Frankenstein: secretly enjoying this]
3850Frankenstein: Hehehe. She did it. I didn't think she'd actually do it. Oh I want to remember this moment forever!~
3851Lunark: ?
3852
3853Kate: Ok, so remember your buddy Crombell? That asshole took over the union and wants to destroy the world. He has a bunch of attack satellites orbiting the planet that can blow us all to hell. So we need to know where he is so we can kick his ass. Got it?
3854Muzaka: What?
3855Kate: I frickin told you if you stayed with him you'd have a front row seat to another tragedy! And now look what's happened! I swear to god! If you weren't Rai's friend I would kill you!
3856Muzaka: … I see. 
3857Muzaka: Yeah, I can take you to him. I'll need at least a few days to recover though before I can help. 
3858Kate: Just tell us where he is. If we can wait for you we will, but we might go regardless. 
3859Muzaka: Raizel, I'm sorry. I keep causing trouble for you. 
3860Kate: Cht! Well at least you know. 
3861Kate: Honestly I'm so pissed at you I can't think straight! So it's up to Rai and Frankenstein if you can come or not!
3862[Kate walks out]
3863Muzaka: Shouldn't you guys be thanking me for saving Raizel?
3864Frankenstein: Yeah… about that….
3865Frankenstein: Not to steal your thunder or anything, but Kate and I already saved him. 
3866Muzaka: What!?
3867[Rai nods]
3868Frankenstein: Well you did give him a power boost. 
3869Frankenstein: That's probably half the reason she's so mad at you. You have no idea how hard she worked on that. 
3870Muzaka: Why? What did she do? 
3871Frankenstein: Oh boy. It's quite the list. She broke into the union multiple times. That would have been really dangerous for a modified human like her. 
3872Muzaka: Why would she break into the union?
3873Frankenstein: She stole the data on how to make bloodstones.
3874Muzaka: What!?
3875Frankenstein: And then she made a whole bunch of bloodstones. 
3876Muzaka: Are you frickin kidding me!? Raizel how can you be ok with that!?
3877Rai: I had my doubts too….
3878Frankenstein: Kate did all that in secret and worked on turning them into something master could use. Ultimately, her and I turned them into these rings [shows ring]. They can be used to transfer power to him to slowly restore his lifespan. 
3879Muzaka: Frankenstein, you helped with this too?
3880Frankenstein: Well I found out about it at the end. Kate did most of the work. But that's not even the craziest part…
3881Muzaka: ?
3882Frankenstein: Then she told master and the Lord of the Nobles about it… at the same time. 
3883Muzaka: You're kidding me? Did she really do that?
3884[Rai nods]
3885Muzaka: But weren't you angry? And even if you weren't, wasn't the Lord angry? 
3886Rai: We were.
3887Frankenstein: Actually the Lord of the Nobles threatened to kill me and her. But typically Kate… she just stood there and told the Lord to do it. 
3888Muzaka: What? 
3889Frankenstein: Yeah. 
3890Rai: Actually the thing she took issue with was Frankenstein being killed. She said since it was her fault he shouldn't be dragged into it. 
3891Muzaka: What!?
3892Frankenstein: Yeah. I was surprised too…. 
3893Muzaka: So how did she not get killed? 
3894Frankenstein: Well actually she told them that she wouldn't stop them. 
3895Muzaka: What!? Then how is she alive right now after doing something like that!? 
3896Rai: She said she wanted us to hear her out first and then make our decision. 
3897Muzaka: But even if she's close to you you still would have killed her. She must have known that….
3898Frankenstein: She did. 
3899Muzaka: And she still did this and confronted you? 
3900[Rai nods]
3901Frankenstein: And the Lord. At the same time. 
3902Muzaka: Are you sure she's a human? I don't care who you are, that's not something to do lightly…. Especially for a human, the kind of guts that would take is…. 
3903Frankenstein: Apparently that's just who she is. But you should know that. After all she picked a fight with you before, even though she's just a weak little human. 
3904Muzaka: !
3905Muzaka: I forgot about that….
3906Frankenstein: Kate doesn't fear death. Even if master was going to kill her she'd just let him. She actually said that was a standing offer.
3907Muzaka: …
3908Muzaka: So then what happened? 
3909Frankenstein: Well they heard her out and we decided to use the rings. So master's lifespan was already slowly being restored when you pulled this stunt. 
3910Frankenstein: By the way, do you know why she fought you before? 
3911Muzaka: Um… she said it was because I was Rai's dumbass friend…. 
3912Frankenstein: She told us she needed to knock some sense into you because she didn't want a repeat of what happened 820 years ago. 
3913Muzaka: …
3914Frankenstein: That's the other half of why she's so mad. Because even though your reasons changed you did the same thing again. 
3915Frankenstein: She went to all this trouble to help master, and you did this…. 
3916Muzaka: Oh…. 
3917Frankenstein: Well for what it's worth we appreciate what you were trying to do, but please never do something like that again. You have no idea how sad you made master when he thought he had killed you. 
3918[Rai nods]
3919Rai: Muzaka I'm glad you're alive. But please never try to do that again. I wouldn't want to live because you died. 
3920Muzaka: Raizel…
3921Muzaka: ...Alright I promise I won't do anything like that again. 
3922[Rai smiles]
3923Frankenstein: Well now that that's settled, could you tell us where Crombell is? 
3924Muzaka: Sure. I'll give you the coordinates. 
3925
3926[After Kate punched Muzaka]
3927Lunark: K-Kate… I can't believe you punched him like that….
3928Kate: Oh please. It's not like it was the first time. 
3929Everyone: !!!
3930Lunark: What?
3931Kate: Yeah. He and I fought before. 
3932Everyone: !!!!!!
3933Juraki: You're saying you fought Muzaka before?
3934Kate: Yeah?
3935Lunark: …..
3936Lunark: What happened? Did he win?
3937Kate: Oh yeah! I lost spectacularly! But I'd do it all again. 
3938Everyone: ………………… 
3939Juraki: How are you alive right now?
3940Kate: Right….. 
3941Kate [turns to Lunark]: Anyway, how have you been Lunark? Did you and Frankenstein go on your date yet?
3942Lunark: Uh… no. He's been busy with Muzaka. 
3943Kate: Too bad. I went out with M-21. 
3944Lunark: You did?
3945Kate [smiling]: Oh yeah! It's official! By the way, did you know he's actually my first boyfriend?
3946Lunark: Huh.
3947Kate: Yeah, well we were all experiments before. So this is actually a first for both of us. So how many people have you dated?
3948Lunark: Um, a few.
3949Kate: That doesn't sound like a lot. Did you just not like anyone? Actually, how old are you anyway?
3950Lunark: Uh….
3951[Kentas walks in]
3952Kate: Oh hey, Kentas. Where have you been?
3953Kentas: Hello. Kate, right? I went to see the Lord of the Nobles. 
3954Kate: Why?
3955Kentas: To take responsibility for what happened?
3956Kate: ……
3957Kate: Why? I thought that matter was already settled. 
3958Kentas: Yeah, that's what the Lord said. 
3959Kate: So did you take her flowers or something?
3960Kentas: No. I was going to accept punishment on behalf of the Werewolves. 
3961[Kate: So you brought her a human sacrifice?]
3962Kate: ……
3963Kate [sighs]: Lunark?
3964Lunark: Y-yeah?
3965Kate: You are the only one I respect. 
3966Garda: You know if you weren't here with Frankenstein and the Noblesse, we would kill you. 
3967Kate: I really think you need to reevaluate who you're talking to. Rai and Frankenstein are the nice ones. I'm the one that punches people in the face, remember? So honestly I don't know what you were expecting. 
3968Everyone: ……
3969Kate [sighs]: Ok, wow. I didn't expect you guys to be so depressed. 
3970Kate: Fine. I wasn't going to do this, but I think you could use some perspective. 
3971Kate: You guys basically did the wrong thing for the right reasons. 
3972Everyone: ?
3973Kate: There's nothing wrong with trying to be stronger. There's nothing wrong with trying to protect your people. It's the way you went about it that was messed up. You guys don't have any natural enemies. The only people that can rival you are the Nobles and they aren't interested in interfering with you or the humans. 
3974Kate: But what if that wasn't the case? 
3975Lunark: What do you mean?
3976Kate: What if the family leaders that betrayed them had taken over Lukedonia? Do you really think they would have left you alone? That could have become a big problem for you. 
3977Everyone: !
3978Kate: That's why you're not necessarily wrong to try to get stronger. Both the current and past Nobles have had a strong culture of respect and non interference, but if someone who didn't share those views came to power it could be a problem not just for you but also the humans. 
3979Kate: The problem is the way you went about it. What's the point of trying to get stronger if you sacrifice what you're trying to protect? Can you really live like that? Can you really take pride in who you are? Sometimes the price is just too high. 
3980Dorian: I can't believe a human is lecturing us about morality. We must have fallen pretty far.
3981Kate: Oh don't worry. If anyone is dumber than you guys, it's the humans. 
3982Everyone: !?
3983Juraki: Wait, but aren't you human?
3984Kate: Technically that is true, but as I told Lunark when I first met her I identify as a monster. 
3985[Everyone looks at Lunark, Lunark nods]
3986Lunark: Yeah. You said you didn't care about power or being human. 
3987Kate: Yep.
3988Everyone: Huh?
3989Kate [nods]: I don't care about Werewolves, Nobles or humans. As far as I'm concerned there are only two types of people: asshole and not an asshole. 
3990Kate: So don't go thinking you're special just because I yelled at you and called you a dumbass. I do that to lots of people. Most of them actually…. Actually now that I think about it, is there anyone I haven't yelled at and called a dumbass?
3991Kate [snaps fingers]: Frankenstein. ...And I think he's the only one. No wait, I never called Lunark a dumbass. 
3992Lunark: What about Raizel?
3993Kate: No. I yelled at him and called him a dumbass too.
3994Everyone: E-even the Noblesse…?
3995Kate: Hmmm…. I guess if there are others it's mostly because I haven't interacted with them. Anyways, yeah. Raizel kept trying to sacrifice himself so I threatened to kick his teeth in. I hate that kind of thing. Actually, that's one of the main reasons I started trying to get stronger. I hate people sacrificing themselves for me. So I wanted to become strong enough so that he didn't have to protect me. So then I started training and became bullshit levels of strong. 
3996Lunark: Wait, then why did you punch Muzaka?
3997Kate: Because he made Rai sad.
3998Everyone: ?
3999Kate: Rai's dumbass friend tried to sacrifice himself to save him. He may have meant well, but he didn't take Rai's feelings into consideration at all. Rai wouldn't want to live because of that. Just like I wouldn't want anyone to sacrifice themselves for me, he wouldn't want that either. 
4000Kate: I don't care if Muzaka is pissed at me. After we deal with that asshole Crombell and the union, if he wants to go for round two then bring it on! 
4001Kate: Anyways, what you guys need to focus on right now is rebuilding and choosing a new leader. 
4002Kentas: Yeah….
4003Kate: Personally, I'd choose Lunark. You could be Queen of the Werewolves!~
4004Everyone: !!!
4005Kentas: W-wait. Wouldn't that make Frankenstein King of the Werewolves?
4006Lunark: ?
4007Kate: Hmm. No. Maybe more like Queen's consort? I doubt he has any interest in ruling the Werewolves. I know I sure as hell don't. [To Lunark] My only real question is whether or not they deserve you. You're easily the smartest Werewolf I've met and you're strong. Maybe not the strongest but still pretty strong. And you've saved your people twice now. You went and got Muzaka when you found out the former Lord was sacrificing your people, and you went and got us when Muzaka needed help.
4008Kate [to Kentas]: You just got yourself kidnapped. 
4009Kentas: ...
4010Kate: Hmm. Actually if Muzaka hadn't gotten himself injured like that your people might have died. We came to help him and ended up saving your people from the union. Maybe I was too hard on him… 
4011Kate: Cht! No. He's still a dumbass. He intended to die and that wouldn't have helped anyone. 
4012Kate: Well, you should consider it Lunark. 
4013Lunark: I-I don't know…. I never really thought of myself as leading our people…. 
4014Kate: Well you should. Oh, and another thing you should consider~ Maybe someday we could go on a double date!
4015Lunark: ?
4016Kate: Yeah! You, me, M-21, and Frankenstein. We could all fight together. We could do couples, humans vs Werewolves, or boys vs girls! Then we could have a picnic after! It'd be great!
4017Lunark [smiling]: That actually does sound like fun…. 
4018Kate: Well something to consider for later :)
4019[Frankenstein and Rai walk in]
4020Frankenstein: Kate, we're leaving. 
4021Kate: 'Kay!
4022[Kate gives Lunark a hug goodbye]
4023Kate [to the others]: Later!
4024Frankenstein: Also Kate, I understand why you did it but try not to punch Muzaka again. 
4025Kate: Did he promise not to do it again?
4026Frankenstein: We had a talk with him and yes he promised. 
4027Kate: Okay. Then I won't do it again. 
4028[Kate leaves]
4029Frankenstein: Sorry about that, Lunark. She can be a little... passionate?
4030Lunark: T-that's ok. She explained why she did it.
4031Frankenstein: And I still owe you that date. Sorry there hasn't been time lately, but I promise it will happen. 
4032Lunark: No. I understand. After we deal with Crombell and the union I'm sure we'll find time. 
4033Frankenstein: You have my number if you need me. 
4034[Frankenstein and Rai leave]
4035Kentas: Man, that girl is one strange human….
4036Lunark: Oh, that's right. You guys don't know… She's Frankenstein's little sister. 
4037Everyone: !!!!!!
4038Dorian: Actually, that makes a lot of sense. 
4039Kentas: Yeah… that explains a lot… 
4040Garda: I can't believe there's two of them… 
4041Juraki: I can't believe I fought her… 
4042
4043[Rai, Frankenstein and Kate are on the plane headed back home]
4044[Kate is curled up sleeping on Frankenstein]
4045Rai [to Frankenstein]: So, you and Lunark?
4046Frankenstein: !
4047Frankenstein: W-well… 
4048Rai [smiles and looks at Kate]: Things have changed a lot since the past.
4049[Frankenstein: That's true. In the past it was just me and master. Now I have a Werewolf girlfriend and a crazy little sister…]
4050Rai: I think it's good for you. 
4051Frankenstein: Hm?
4052Rai [smiles]: You don't have to worry about me like you used to. It's good for you to have a life besides just me.
4053Frankenstein: Master, you know I still care about you. 
4054Rai: I know. 
4055Rai [looks at him]: You don't have to choose between one or the other. We simply care about more people now. 
4056Frankenstein [smiles]: Yes. 
4057[Frankenstein [looks at Kate]: I wonder if I hadn't met Kate that day… how it would have turned out. A lot of this is because of her.]
4058
4059Tao: The location we got from Muzaka has been cleared out. 
4060Kate: Damn it!
4061Frankenstein: Looks like we'll have to keep searching. 
4062
4063[3rd elder is being hunted by Crombell]
4064Frankenstein: Tao, tell me where he is right now. 
4065Kate: Do we really have to save him?
4066Frankenstein: Yes. We still need him. 
4067Kate [sighs]: If you want, I can do it. 
4068Frankenstein: …
4069Kate: …
4070Tao: …
4071Frankenstein: You just want to punch him in the face, don't you?
4072Kate: Yep.
4073Frankenstein: …
4074Frankenstein: Fine. As long as he's alive. 
4075Kate: Kay.
4076Frankenstein: Do you need any backup?
4077Kate: No. I got this.
4078
4079[3rd elder is cornered]
4080[Kate suddenly slams into one of the elite guards turning it into a pile of scrap]
40813rd: What the-?
4082Kate: Shut up. There are three left. Are you going to fight, or sit there and be useless?
40833rd: Y-yeah. Right. 
4084Mechanical man: Who are you?
4085Kate: None of your business. 
4086[Kate raises her sword and charges]
4087[The guards try to punch her, but she ducks cuts off one of their legs, the arm of another one and an arm from the metal man]
4088[3rd: Who the hell is she?]
4089[The last guard tries to attack 3rd, but he stares at him and causes an explosion]
4090[Kate makes dark spears rain down from the sky, pinning them in place.]
4091[She makes another pass and cuts the guards to pieces and they explode]
4092[Just the metal man is left]
4093Mechanical man: Who are you?
4094Kate: Hm. You're metal. So you probably don't need that body. 
4095[Kate rips his head off with her bare hands]
4096Kate: Now tell us where Crombell is. 
4097Mechanical man [laughing]: You're right. I don't need that body. But I'm programmed to self destruct. 
4098Kate: Oh yeah? Can you do it with radio waves? Cause you're not connected to your body anymore. 
4099Mechanical man: …
4100Kate: I'm going to take that as a no. Now give us Crombell's location. 
4101Mechanical man: No.
4102Kate: Bet it's stored in your memory. 
4103[Mechanical man powers down]
4104Kate: Huh. I guess it doesn't have a power supply in its head. Oh well. I'll just take it with me. 
41053rd: Um, who are you?
4106Kate: Oh yeah. I forgot about you. Here. Hold this for a second. 
4107[Puts the head in his hands]
4108[Then punches him in the face hard]
41093rd: WHAT THE-?
4110Kate: Shut up! 
4111[Kate sighs]
4112Kate: You know you're damn lucky we still need you alive. 
41133rd: …
4114Kate [with hands on hips]: In answer to your earlier question: I am Kate. And yes, I did save you. And no, I didn't want to, you 3rd elder asshole! 
4115Kate: This is all your fault! You and your asshole friends at the union. You've managed to create an apocalypse. Congrats! And now you're trying to die and leave us to clean up the mess! So why don't you stand up, take your balls out of your purse, and grab a broom Lucifer! 
41163rd: O.O
4117Kate: Cht!
4118[Kate gets on the phone]
4119Kate: Yeah, it's me … No, I'm fine … Yeah, the dumbass is with me … You said 'alive' … Yeah, see you soon. 
4120[Kate looks at the head]
4121Kate: Seriously, isn't he a little old to be playing with dolls?
4122Kate: Whatever. [To 3rd] Come on, asshole. We're leaving. 
4123Kate [pauses]: Actually, as long as I have you here… 
4124
4125[Kate tosses the head to Tao]
4126Tao: What the-?
4127Kate: See if you can pull Crombell's location out of its head. You should probably use a stand alone network. We don't know what it's capable of. 
4128Tao: Um, yeah. Ok.
4129Kate [to 3rd]: Get dusting, Lucifer!
41303rd: You really don't like me, do you?
4131Kate: Nope. 
4132Tao: Kate?
4133Kate: Yeah?
4134Tao: I'm glad we're friends. 
4135Kate: Thanks?
4136Kate: Also Tao, I need to talk to you about something… 
4137
4138Tao: He's activating the attack satellites. 
4139Frankenstein: Damn it! I need to stop him right now!
4140Tao: Unfortunately stopping Crombell and stopping the satellites might be two different things. 
4141Frankenstein: Goddamn it…. 
4142Rai: I will stop the satellites. 
4143Frankenstein: What!? But master….
4144Rai: Is there any other way? 
4145Tao: …
4146Frankenstein: …
4147Kate: …
4148Rai: Frankenstein you stop Crombell and I will stop the satellites. 
4149Frankenstein: Yes master…
4150[Rai leaves]
4151Kate: Tao, get me Muzaka.
4152Tao: What?
4153...
4154Lunark: Hm? Tao is calling us. He says Kate wants to talk to Muzaka. 
4155Muzaka: Hello? 
4156Kate: Oi! Dumbass! 
4157Muzaka: …
4158Kate: We've got a situation. You know those attack satellites? Rai went out to go blow them up. 
4159Muzaka: What!?
4160Lunark: What? Can he do something like that? 
4161Kate [sighs]: Well knowing him… he'll do it or die trying. 
4162Kate: Muzaka you've transferred your power to him before. I don't know if your power can reach into space like his, but even if it can't you can still help him. 
4163Muzaka: What are the rest of you going to do? 
4164Kate: We're going to meet up with Frankenstein and kick Crombell's ass. 
4165Kate: Muzaka, you're the only one that can help Rai. Tao will give you the coordinates. It's up to you but you know perfectly well what will happen if you don't help. And it's not like you're uninvolved. He attacked your people with those satellites too. 
4166Muzaka: …
4167Kate: Muzaka if you want to help, now is the time. I'll see you later. 
4168Lunark [sighs]: That girl… she really isn't afraid of anything. 
4169Lunark: Tao, give me the coordinates of both Frankenstein and the Noblesse.
4170Muzaka: What? Why? 
4171Lunark: You go help the Noblesse and I'll go help Frankenstein. 
4172Kentas: What about the rest of us? 
4173Lunark: Kentas, you and I are still the only ones that have fully recovered. You guys stay here and look after our people.
4174Kentas: Yes, Lord. 
4175
4176[Frankenstein fighting Crombell]
4177[Explosion]
4178M-21: Is that where the Frankenstein is fighting?
4179Lunark: We should join him quickly.
4180Kate [smiling]: Hey Lunark, family outing?
4181Lunark: Uh… maybe?
4182[They walk up to the fight and Karius shoots an arrow at Crombell]
4183Frankenstein: What the-?
4184Kate: Yo, Frankenstein! Family outing?
4185[Frankenstein smiles and sighs]
4186Frankenstein: Sure. Family outing. 
4187Kate [smiles fearlessly]: Let's get him guys!
4188[Kate transforms into her black form with wings]
4189Crombell: What the hell!? Who is that!?
4190[Kate slams into him]
4191Kate: Nice to meet you, asshole! I'm Kate!
4192[Crombell: What the hell!? She can use that power too!? And to such an extent!?]
4193[Crombell: Is she just as strong as him? That's impossible!]
4194[Rael and Takio attack]
4195[Then M-21 hits him]
4196M-21: Hey Crombell! I've been waiting for this!
4197Crombell: M-21? Shouldn't you be thanking me? You were a worthless experiment but look at the power you have now!
4198M-21: Screw you! I never wanted this power!
4199[M-21 attacks again and Crombell knocks him back]
4200Lunark: Calm down! The others can't attack if you keep rushing him like that!
4201Kate: Hey Crombell! Heads up!
4202[Kate makes black lightning fall on him]
4203Kate: That's what you get for messing with my boyfriend! 
4204[Regis and Seria attack]
4205Frankenstein: Hey Karius, how much time do you need?
4206Karius: Quite a bit. I need enough power to overcome that bloodstone.
4207Frankenstein: Same here. 
4208Frankenstein: Well let's hope they can buy us enough time. 
4209Karius: Yeah, I don't think that will be a problem. Your little sister's quite the monster when she's pissed. 
4210Frankenstein: Hehehe.
4211Crombell: Who are you!? How can you use that power like that? It's one thing for him to be able to do it, but who are you!?
4212Kate [mockingly]: Aww~ What's the matter? Did someone find out they're not a special snowflake?
4213[Kate chops off his arm]
4214[Lunark and M-21 attack]
4215[Regis and Seria attack]
4216[Rael and Takio attack]
4217[Kate brings down black lightning again]
4218[Crombell is wrecked, but he recovers]
4219Crombell: Hahaha. It's useless! No matter what you do I can recover. I have obtained the power of a god!
4220Kate [hands on hips]: So what?
4221Crombell: What!?
4222Kate: So what? Even if you are a god we'll still kill you!
4223Crombell: You!
4224Kate: I don't care if you're a god or the devil himself! I'll still kill you! Besides you've already lost. In case you haven't noticed, you're the only one left. Even if you somehow manage to beat us and survive, all your lackeys are gone. So much for your new world!
4225[Kate fires black lightning at him blasting off his arm again]
4226Crombell: You…
4227[Kate lands and walks toward him]
4228Kate: I will destroy that ambition of yours! All of your hopes and dreams will turn to ash! I will give you the gift of true despair! And only then will I allow you to die!
4229[Kate charges with her sword and slashes him across the chest]
4230[As if waiting for a signal the others attack in pairs again]
4231[Kate then makes dark spears rain from the sky, pinning him in place]
4232Karius: Ready!
4233[Karius fires his arrow blasting off Crombell's arms]
4234Crombell: Hehehe. That's still not enough to take me down!
4235Frankenstein: I know. That's why I got you this!
4236[Frankenstein launches his attack with both spears]
4237[Crombell's body is obliterated]
4238Crombell: I can still recover… as long as I have the bloodstone…
4239[Bloodstone cracks]
4240Crombell: What!?
4241Frankenstein: Oops~ Looks like that thing is done too.
4242[Kate chuckles]
4243Kate: So who's going to do the honors? Frankenstein? M-21? You guys wanna call dibs?
4244M-21: I don't want him to die too quickly…
4245Kate: We could drop him in the ocean. Without the arms and legs he'll slowly drown. 
4246Frankenstein: I like the idea. Or I could feed him to the dark spear. That's always fun.
4247Kate: So many exciting possibilities… Is there a way to make him explode?
4248Karius: Man, you guys are pretty vicious… 
4249Frankenstein: Hm. We could stick him in a freezer and watch him slowly freeze to death. 
4250Kate: I don't have the patience for that. M-21, what do you think?
4251M-21: Hmm. I don't know. They're all good options….
4252Takio: E-even M-21?
4253Lunark: Oh Tao contacted me through my people. He says they destroyed the satellites. 
4254[Everyone looks relieved]
4255Crombell: Hehehe. 
4256Frankenstein: What's so funny?
4257Crombell: You think that was my plan? That was just an unexpected bonus. My original plan was to use nuclear warheads. They should be launching anytime now! Even though you've beaten me, your world will still die! Hahaha!
4258Everyone: …
4259Kate: You sure about that?
4260Everyone: ?
4261Crombell: What!?
4262Kate: Hey Lunark, contact Tao. Tell him to ask 3rd elder about Plan B.
4263Lunark: Uh, yeah. Ok.
4264...
4265[Nuclear weapons launching]
4266Ikhan: Is this a prank?
4267Tao: No, it's real.
42683rd: Yeah, I can confirm the warheads are getting ready for launch. 
4269Tao: Huh? Lunark is contacting me. She's asking about Plan B. 3rd?
42703rd: I'm on it. 
4271[The nuclear warheads are shut down]
42723rd: It's done. 
4273Tao: Hey Lunark? It's taken care of. 
4274Ikhan: You mean you shut down all the nuclear warheads?
4275Tao: Yep!
4276Ikhan: But how… what happened?
4277Tao [giggling]: Kate happened. 
4278Rai and Muzaka: !
4279Shinwu: Kate? You mean one of our teachers? That Kate? 
4280Tao: Yep. 
4281Muzaka: But how…?
4282Tao: So a while back we had to save the 3rd elder from Crombell. Kate offered to do it and while she was there she brought up the possibility of the satellites not being Crombell's original plan and wondered if he planned to use nuclear warheads. 
4283Tao: She asked if we had a way to stop that and suggested that we plant EMPs in all the places where they were stored. They can't launch if you knock out the computers. So 3rd elder sent his men to infiltrate and place EMPs, just in case. 
42843rd: I was skeptical but Tao insisted that if it was that woman we should listen. Looks like he was right… 
4285Rai [smiles]: Kate notices things. 
4286Tao [nods]: Kate notices things. 
4287Muzaka: Damn… 
4288Ikhan: I had no idea our teacher was like that… 
4289Tao: Well no one in this house is really normal… 
4290...
4291Lunark: … Tao says it's taken care of.
4292Crombell: What!? But how-?
4293Kate: Yeah, so I was thinking about it and thought that might be the case. After all, the attack satellites were the 1st elder's secret project. It wouldn't make sense for them to have been part of your original plan. So I thought "If I were an evil lunatic what would be the best way to destroy the world?" And then I merely pointed out the possibility to Tao and the 3rd elder.
4294Everyone: …
4295Rael: But why didn't you tell us?
4296Kate: Oh well I thought about it, but it's not like you could do anything about it. And everyone was so focused on Crombell and the attack satellites there just never seemed to be a good time to mention it. After all, it was merely a possibility, where as the threats from Crombell and the satellites were confirmed. 
4297M-21: Wow.
4298Frankenstein: Kate, I'm truly impressed. 
4299Kate: Really Tao and 3rd did most of the work. I just pointed it out. 
4300Crombell: I-impossible! Who are you!?
4301Kate [evilly] : I'm Kate, the wrecker of your shit! And now you have my permission to die!
4302Lunark: Damn… 
4303Kate: I meant what I said. Anyways, we could do him pinata style. Anyone?
4304Lunark: Uh, we could put him in a box with rats and let him be slowly eaten alive?
4305Kate: Ooo~ I like that! M-21, what do you think?
4306M-21: I don't know. Honestly it's getting a little too vicious for me… 
4307Kate: Oh. Well we could just kick him to death?
4308Frankenstein: I'm good with that. 
4309M-21: Hmm. Yeah, me too. 
4310Kate: What about you guys?
4311Lunark: Sounds good. 
4312Rael: Yep.
4313[Regis and Seria nod]
4314Karius: Yes.
4315[They kick him to death and Kate incinerates the body]
4316Frankenstein [sighs]: Let's go home. 
4317
4318[After Crombell. Everyone coming home.]
4319Kate: Hey! We're home!
4320Tao: Hi guys!
4321Frankenstein: Tao good work with those satellites!
4322Tao: Oh I didn't do much. After all Mr. Rai is the one that blew them up. 
4323Kids: WHAT!? RAI BLEW UP SOME SATELLITES!!!
4324Kate: Oh hey! The kids are here! Hi guys!
4325Ikhan: Um… hi…
4326Frankenstein [sighs]: Shit! I guess we have to wipe their memory again….
4327Tao [smiles]: Actually, we don't!
4328Frankenstein: ?
4329Tao: They figured out Mr. Rai isn't human on their own. 
4330Frankenstein: They did!?
4331Tao: Yeah! And they're totally cool with it!
4332Kate [smiles]: Good job guys!
4333Ikhan: Aww! It was nothing!
4334Kate: Rai? You cool with this?
4335[Rai nods]
4336Kate: Sweet!
4337Shinwu: By the way, we were here when Tao stopped the nuclear warheads. He said that was you.
4338Kate: Oh yeah. Well I just pointed it out. 
4339Shinwu: Tao also said no one in this house is really normal. 
4340Kate [nods]: That is true facts. Why don't I give you the rundown? 
4341Kate: Tao is basically Batman.
4342Tao: ?
4343Ikhan: That is so cool!
4344Kate: The one you know as mister is kind of like a half Werewolf. 
4345Shinwu: Whoa!
4346Yuna: Like Mr. Muzaka?
4347Kate: Oh you know about him? No. Muzaka is a real Werewolf. A really strong one too. Mister is still human, sort of. 
4348Kate: Rai is a Noble but you guys already figured that out. And he also loves tea and ramen. 
4349Ikhan: What about Takio? 
4350Kate: Oh he's basically normal.
4351Ikhan: Oh…
4352Takio: …
4353Shinwu: What about you? 
4354Kate: I'm a human. Although you could say I'm part zombie. 
4355Ikhan: What!? How does that even work?
4356Kate [giggles]: Trust me, if I show you it will be scary. 
4357Kids [chills]
4358Sui: What about Mr. Chairman?
4359Kate [laughs]: He's actually Frankenstein!
4360Sui: Oh like the scientist in the story? 
4361Kate: No. Like ACTUALLY FRANKENSTEIN!!! 
4362Ikhan: What!?
4363Kate: Yeah. He's the one the stories are based off of! 
4364Shinwu: Something like that exists too? 
4365Ikhan: So wait. If he's Frankenstein and you're a zombie, does that make you Frankenstein's monster?
4366Frankenstein: No!
4367Kate: Yes!
4368Frankenstein [looks at her]: I didn't even do that! You did!
4369Kate [shrugs]: Details. 
4370Sui: So… you're not really brother and sister?
4371Kate: We are. 
4372Shinwu: So you turned your sister into a zombie? 
4373Frankenstein [sighs]: I didn't do that! And we're not blood related but we are brother and sister.
4374Kate: To be fair, I really did do the zombie part without him. 
4375Ikhan: Huh. Wait what about Regis and Seria? 
4376Kate: Also Nobles. Pretty much anyone with red eyes is a Noble. 
4377Shinwu: Huh. So that's how that works. 
4378[Kate nods]
4379Ikhan: So wait! What was that about earlier? You said Rai blew up satellites?
4380Kate: Oh yeah. You remember how a few days ago there was an attack and people said it was an earthquake or a gas line exploding? 
4381Ikhan: Yeah. That's actually how we found out about Rai. We were trying to find out what happened. 
4382Kate: Oh well that was an attack satellite. 
4383Ikhan: What!? Who the hell was attacking us!?
4384Kate: Um, remember that nut job that was trying to launch nuclear warheads?
4385Ikhan: Ah.
4386Kate: Yeah. That guy. 
4387Kate: So our Batman here found all the attack satellites and Rai went out and blew them up. 
4388Ikhan: Whoa! 
4389Tao: Um, why do you keep calling me Batman?
4390Kate: Um, because you are? You even where the mask! 
4391Tao [crosses arms]: You know what? That's fair. 
4392Shinwu: Wait! So that day when the city was attacked, we were saved by Rai weren't we?
4393Kate [nods]: Yep. Rai has a bit of a messiah complex thing going on. Plus they tried to blow up his house. 
4394Ikhan: Thank you Rai.
4395Shinwu: Yeah thank you.
4396Yuna: Thank you.
4397Sui: Thank you. 
4398[Rai smiles]
4399Kate: Aww! This is nice!
4400Kate: By the way, you guys can't tell anyone about any of this. 
4401Ikhan: What? We can't!?
4402Kate: Nope. This stuff is secret for a reason. And we like our privacy. If you go around telling everyone that Rai saved the world people won't stop pestering him, will they? 
4403Shinwu: Yeah. That's true….
4404Kate: Rai just wants to be normal. He just wants to go to school with you guys and hang out and play video games. So if you really want to pay him back for saving you, just treat him like normal and keep his secret. 
4405[The kids look at each other and nod]
4406Shinwu: Ok! You can count on us!
4407Ikhan: Yeah!
4408Yuna: We'll keep your secret Rai.
4409Sui: Yeah. I know what it's like to be pestered by people. So I'll keep your secret. 
4410Kate: Are you guys sure you're up to the task?
4411[The kids nod]
4412Kate: Awesome! Well I'm going to go take a shower then I'll make some chocolate chip cookies for everyone! 
4413
4414[Epilogue]
4415[Everyone is at Frankenstein's house playing games]
4416[Kate and Muzaka are playing cards]
4417Muzaka: I still can't believe you punched me like that!
4418Kate: You deserved it. You were being a dumbass. 
4419Muzaka: I'm the former lord of the Werewolves, you know?
4420Kate: Oh? Good for you. I'm Kate. 
4421Muzaka: …...
4422Kate: You don't want to get punched, then don't be a dumbass. Also, I won.
4423[The victor usually flicks the forehead of the loser]
4424[However Kate grabs the deck and flicks the entire thing at him showering him with cards.]
4425Kate: I'm getting more lemonade. Anyone want some?
4426Tao: Me!
4427Shinwu: Me!
4428Yuna: Me, please!
4429Kate: Muzaka, you want some?
4430Muzaka: Sure…. 
4431M-21: Need a hand?
4432Kate [smiling]: Sure!
4433M-21: I still can't believe you sometimes. Flicking cards at him like that, and calling him a dumbass…. 
4434Kate: Really? What part of that was out of character for me?
4435Kate: And besides, if I weren't so bold would you have made the first move?
4436M-21 [embarrassed]: No. Probably not…. 
4437Kate: Oh by the way, if I get pregnant we should probably move out. 
4438M-21 [choking]: W-wait. Are you?
4439Kate [smiling]: Not yet. But it'll be fun to take them to visit uncle Rai and Frankenstein.
4440Kids: Can we visit too? 
4441Kate: Of course! You guys are practically family. 
4442Muzaka: What about me?
4443Kate: ….
4444Kate: Sure! It'd be nice for you to have someone on your level to talk to!
4445Muzaka: ….
4446Kate: I can make no promises as they get older though. 
4447Everyone: …..
4448Kate: Although all kidding aside, yes you can visit. 
4449[Frankenstein laughing]
4450M-21: Frankenstein?
4451Frankenstein: I never thought having a sister would be so much fun!
4452Rai [smiles while sipping tea]
4453
4454Frankenstein: By the way, you guys are practically immortal as long as you're under my care.
4455Tao and co: !
4456Takio: What? When did that happen? 
4457Frankenstein: I can stop the aging process. Well it's up to you if you want me to do that. 
4458Tao: Is that why you look young even though you're hundreds of years old? 
4459Frankenstein: Yes.
4460M-21: I thought it was because you made a deal with Rai… 
4461Frankenstein: Nope. I was like that even before. 
4462Kate: Huh. Is it permanent? 
4463Frankenstein: It can be if you want it to be. 
4464Kate: Is yours permanent?
4465Frankenstein: Yes.
4466Kate: …
4467Kate: Let's do it!
4468Tao and co: !
4469Tao: Are you serious? Just like that?
4470Kate: Yep.
4471M-21: But what if you get tired of living forever?
4472Kate [shrugs]: Maybe someday, but not today. 
4473Takio: ...Aren't you treating this a little too lightly?
4474Kate: Aren't you worrying about it too much?
4475Kate: I like being here with everyone. And if there's a way to stay longer, why not take it? 
4476Kate: Besides if we really wanted to, we could just do what the former Lord did and all go to eternal sleep together. Personally I think that's better than waiting for the people you care about to die. 
4477Tao: I guess that's true…
4478Kate [shrugs]: You guys do what you want. I'm onboard. 
4479Tao and co: ….
4480M-21: Yeah. I guess I'll do it too. 
4481Tao: M-21?
4482M-21: Well she has a point. It would suck to have to watch you guys die. And we could all just go out together. 
4483Tao: ...
4484Tao [to Frankenstein]: You said it doesn't have to be permanent?
4485Frankenstein: Yeah. 
4486Tao: Can you make mine not permanent? 
4487Frankenstein: Sure. You won't age as long as you get treatment but if you stop the treatment you'll start aging again. 
4488Tao: I think I'd rather do that… 
4489Takio: Yeah. I'm with Tao. It just seems a little too drastic to make it permanent… 
4490Frankenstein: That's fine. 
4491Rai [smiles while sipping tea]
4492
4493Muzaka [to Kate]: Wanna fight?
4494Frankenstein: Yeah. I don't think that's going to go the way it went last time. You haven't seen it but she can turn into a demon. 
4495Muzaka: What!? Now I want to fight you even more!
4496Kate: Oh. I wasn't going to do that anymore. 
4497Everyone: Huh? 
4498Rai: ?
4499Kate [sighs]: How many times do I have to repeat myself!? I only went that far in the first place because I needed to fight the enemies. I never cared about the power or being human!
4500Lunark: Oh yeah… you did say that. But you're really stopping? Just like that? 
4501Kate [shrugs]: If you still want to fight, I'll fight. But I only did that to fight the enemies. [to Muzaka] You're not an enemy. Just a dumbass. 
4502Muzaka: ...
4503Tao: Kate seriously… how can you call him a dumbass like that…. Especially if you're going to fight him without doing that. He could probably kick your ass. 
4504Kate: So what? He's not an enemy so I don't need to win. 
4505M-21: So you're really stopping just like that? What about the nano suit?
4506Kate: Yeah, that's basically my skin. Can you take your skin off? 
4507Everyone: …
4508Kate: Trust me, if it was that easy I would have done it a long time ago. 
4509Rai: ...
4510Rai: I had to stop Frankenstein, but you're stopping yourself? 
4511Kate [shrugs]: Don't need it anymore. 
4512Everyone: Huh….
4513Kate: Maybe someday if we run into powerful enemies again I'll have to do that, but otherwise I wasn't planning on it. That kind of thing isn't a toy. 
4514Everyone: Huh.
4515Rai: Kate? 
4516Kate: Hm?
4517Rai: Thank you. 
4518Kate [smiles]: No problem. 
4519Everyone: …….
4520Rael: Well if you won't do that then he can totally kick your ass. 
4521Kate [smiles mischievously]: Are you sure about that? 
4522Rael: ?
4523Kate: Big brother~! He's picking on me~!
4524Everyone: ?
4525Tao [laughing]: Oh my god! That's right! She can sic Frankenstein on him!
4526Frankenstein: ……..
4527Kate [shrugs]: I'll still deal with it myself for the most part, but if I have to that's always an option. It's not like I'm defenceless.
4528Frankenstein: …..
4529Frankenstein [sighs]: I guess that's fair…. Still I'm surprised you would give it all up like that. 
4530Kate: It really shouldn't be that much of a surprise. When you first met me I wasn't exactly known for fighting. I was pretty docile. 
4531Frankenstein: Oh yeah…
4532Kate: I'll still fight a bit for fun but I was never a battle maniac like you. 
4533Frankenstein: ……..
4534[Rai smiles]
4535
4536[Talking about the day they used the bloodstones]
4537Kate: You know actually looking back on it I think that created a very interesting situation. 
4538Frankenstein: Oh dear god. Please tell me you're not thinking of doing something like that again. 
4539Kate: No, but I was just thinking… I think I may have inadvertently tied our fates together that day. 
4540Frankenstein: ?
4541Rai: ?
4542Kate: If I did nothing, I would have lived but Rai would die. But because I made the bloodstones, it created a situation where we both would have lived or we both would have died. 
4543Kate: You might have killed me for making the bloodstones but then Rai still would have died soon because he used so much power. The only way we both would have lived is if we decided to use the bloodstones. 
4544Frankenstein: Hm. That's true…. 
4545Kate: I didn't think about it at the time because I was so focused on saving Rai…. 
4546Rai: Hmm. 
4547Kate: Huh.
4548Kate [to Rai]: By the way, I would just like to point out for the record that Frankenstein and I never shoved a sword into your chest like the Lord, or tried to die on you like Muzaka. 
4549Kate: We told you exactly what we were doing and let you make the decision. 
4550Rai [nods]: That's true. 
4551Kate: Although… that also created an interesting situation…. 
4552Frankenstein: Kate… you better not be getting any strange ideas…. 
4553Kate: Well in the past the Werewolves, Nobles and humans all conspired to kill Rai. But now we've all worked together to save him. 
4554Frankenstein: That's true…. 
4555Kate: It's like it's come full circle. Huh. Isn't that funny? 
4556...
4557Kate: Frankenstein. Rai. I need to talk to you about something. 
4558Frankenstein: Yes. What is it?
4559Kate: Well we've solved Rai's problem for now with the rings but if for some reason something happens and we can't use them we'll be back to square one. 
4560Frankenstein: Yes. I was worried about that too.
4561Kate: So I came up with some other ideas that we could use as a backup plan. 
4562Frankenstein: Oh no.
4563Kate: Yes. Rai's power and lifespan are linked. So if we managed to sever that connection he'd essentially be human. 
4564Rai: !
4565Kate: What do you think Rai? Wanna be a human?
4566Frankenstein: Kate! We can't do that!
4567Kate: Not right now but give it some time and we might find a way. The real trick is finding a way to do that without killing him. 
4568Frankenstein: Kate! No!
4569Kate: Would you relax? I'm not going to do anything without your approval anyway. 
4570Frankenstein [exhales]: Fine. 
4571Kate: The other option I thought of was turning Rai into a soul weapon. 
4572Rai: !
4573Frankenstein: WHAT!?
4574Kate: If he was a soul weapon he wouldn't die. He could exist without a body. And it might be possible to give him a new body. After all the Lord stabbed him with a soul weapon to transfer power to him. If something like that is possible then it might be possible to turn him into a soul weapon and transfer him to a new body. 
4575Frankenstein: Kate… [sighs] I admit it might be possible….
4576Kate: Maybe we could clone him and keep a spare body in storage. Actually it might even be possible to give him a better body or let him live a life as a human. 
4577Frankenstein: Hmm.
4578Kate: So what do you think Rai? If something like that happens to you want to be a human? Or as you are now? 
4579Rai: Hmm. 
4580Kate: It'd be pretty cool if you could live a life as a human and then go back to how you are now but I don't know if we can do that. 
4581Rai: I see. 
4582Kate: Well I'll put how you are now as the default. If you want me to change it let me know. 
4583Frankenstein: Kate I still haven't approved any of this. 
4584Kate: Ok well do you want me to stop for now? 
4585Frankenstein: Well the clone isn't a bad idea… [to Rai] What do you think master? Should we make a clone? 
4586Rai: Hmm. I guess that would be alright…. 
4587Kate: It might be that none of this is necessary and the rings are enough. I just wanted to have a plan in place in case something happened. 
4588Frankenstein [sighs]: Kate I don't know if that makes it better or worse…. 
4589Kate: I don't see how it makes it worse. 
4590
4591[M-21's name]
4592M-21: Kate?
4593Kate: Yeah?
4594M-21: Remember when you said if I wanted you would give me a name? 
4595Kate: Yeah? You want to do that?
4596M-21: Yeah….
4597Kate: Ok. How about Michael?
4598M-21: Michael?
4599Kate: Well I just figured it should start with an M. If you don't like it I can pick something else. 
4600M-21: …
4601M-21: No. I like it. I guess I'll be Michael now.
4602Kate [smiles]: Ok. Hi Michael. I'm Kate. 
4603Michael: Hi Kate. I think I love you. 
4604Kate [blushes]: This is so sudden but I think I love you too, Michael.
4605[They kiss]
4606Kate [chuckles]: By the way, this means you and Frankenstein will be brothers now. 
4607Michael: ?
4608Michael: Is he going to be ok with that? 
4609Kate: I'm sure it'll be fine. He can't hurt you without pissing me off. And he likes you anyway. Actually between me, Frankenstein and Rai, I think anyone that messed with you would be all kinds of dead. 
4610Michael [exhales]: Yeah. I guess I was worried for nothing. 
4611[Michael and Kate embrace]
4612
4613[Kate and Muzaka are fighting]
4614Lunark: Um… hey Kate?
4615Kate [to Lunark]: Oh just a sec.
4616Kate: Muzaka, time out!
4617Muzaka [roars]
4618Kate: Muzaka! Are you going to stop or am I going to have to stop you!?
4619Muzaka [attacks]
4620Kate: I'm warning you! You won't like it!
4621Muzaka [attacks]
4622Kate: Alright! You asked for this!
4623[Kate takes a ball out and throws it at him]
4624[It explodes and releases a gas. Muzaka collapses on the ground]
4625Kate [crosses her arms]: Cht! Annoying hairball!
4626Kate [to Lunark]: What's up Lunark?
4627Lunark: O.O 
4628Lunark [stunned]: Um… it's dinner time…
4629Kate: Oh. Ok. 
4630[Kate takes out her phone]
4631Kate: Here. 
4632Lunark: Huh?
4633Kate [smiles]: Take some pictures. I'm going to princess carry him!
4634Lunark: WHAT!?
4635[Kate picks up Muzaka in a princess carry position]
4636Lunark: Oh my gosh! Kate!
4637[Lunark starts laughing and taking pictures]
4638Lunark: So you could have knocked him out whenever you wanted?
4639Kate: Yep. 
4640Lunark: How long will he stay out?
4641Kate: I don't know. For a normal human, they'd be out for about 24 hours. But he's a super strong Werewolf so I'm not sure. 
4642Lunark: Isn't that cheating?
4643Kate [shrugs]: I warned him. That's what he gets for not listening. 
4644…
4645Tao: Where's Kate?
4646M-21: She went to go fight Muzaka again. 
4647Tao: Is she going to be alright?
4648Frankenstein: Well she said she was fine… 
4649M-21: Hmm.
4650Tao: …
4651Takio: …
4652[Door opens and Kate walks in princess carrying Muzaka]
4653Everyone: ?
4654[Frankenstein starts laughing hysterically]
4655Frankenstein [laughing]: Oh my god! Kate! How… how did you do that!?
4656Kate: Well I told him to stop but he didn't listen. So I knocked him out with some sleeping gas. 
4657[Frankenstein laughing]
4658Kate: Hey Frankenstein?
4659Frankenstein [laughing]: Yeah?
4660Kate [smiles]: Sharpie.
4661Frankenstein [gasps]: No!
4662Kate: Yes!
4663Lunark: No!
4664[Frankenstein gets a sharpie]
4665Kate: What do you think? Whiskers or mustache? I can't decide. 
4666Frankenstein: How about a goatee?
4667Kate: Cool!
4668[Kate draws eyes on his eyelids and a goatee]
4669Lunark: Oh my god! I can't believe you guys!
4670Frankenstein [laughing]: Oh my god! This is hilarious!
4671Kate: Frankenstein let's take some pictures!
4672[Frankenstein is excited]
4673Kate: Come on you guys too! You want to get in on the pictures?
4674M-21: Um…. Kate… isn't he supposed to be a legendary Werewolf?
4675Kate: So?
4676Tao: So won't he be mad when he wakes up?
4677Kate [shrugs]: He'll get over it. Besides this is what he gets for not listening to me. 
4678[Tao and co look at Rai]
4679[Rai shrugs]
4680Tao: Ok. I guess we'll take pictures. 
4681[Everyone takes pictures with Muzaka]
4682Kate: Hey Rai! You want a picture too?
4683Rai: Hmm.
4684Tao: No way!
4685[Rai gets up and moves over to Muzaka]
4686[Rai sits next to him drinking tea while Muzaka has a fake goatee]
4687[Kate is on Muzaka's other side]
4688[Frankenstein bursts into laughter again]
4689[Tao takes the picture]
4690Frankenstein [laughing]: Oh my god! This is amazing!
4691Lunark [sighs]: Seriously. Only Kate would do something like this…
4692M-21: I don't think I've ever seen Frankenstein laugh so much. 
4693Takio: Yeah. Usually when he laughs it's his evil laugh and then you better start running….
4694Tao: Well I hope Muzaka has a sense of humor about it when he wakes up…. 
4695Kate: Oh I'm sure it's fine. Let's eat dinner. I'm starving!
4696Tao: Um… when will Muzaka wake up?
4697Kate: I don't know. 
4698M-21: What?
4699Kate: The sleeping gas I hit him with was strong enough to knock out an adult human for 24 hours. So I don't know how long it will last on a Werewolf like him. 
4700M-21: Huh…
4701Kate: Well I'm not waiting for him. Let's start eating. 
4702Frankenstein [laughing]: Oh Kate! You're such a crazy little sister!
4703[While they're eating dinner Muzaka wakes up]
4704Kate: Oh hey, you're awake!
4705Muzaka: Yeah…. What the-! You knocked me out!
4706Kate: Yes. 
4707Muzaka: You cheated!
4708Kate: Yes. 
4709Muzaka: You used some kind of sleeping gas!
4710Kate: These are all true facts. 
4711Muzaka: I'm going to kill you!
4712Kate: You want to come have some dinner Muzaka?
4713Muzaka: …
4714Muzaka: Sure… 
4715Muzaka: So what happened after I was knocked out?
4716Kate: I carried you back. 
4717Muzaka: Oh. Thank you. 
4718Kate [smiles]: Don't mention it. 
4719Lunark: Um… Muzaka…
4720Kate [winks]: Shh. He'll figure it out. 
4721Muzaka: I can't believe you used some kind of sleeping gas on me!
4722Kate: I don't know why that would surprise you. I always have a few tricks up my sleeve. Besides if it was a battle based on brute strength, you'd win every time. Even Regis knows that. So of course I used a few tricks. 
4723Muzaka [sighs]
4724[Everyone is eating in silence. Muzaka still has the goatee on his face]
4725M-21: So… is no one going to address the elephant in the room?
4726Kate: I wasn't going to. I think it's more fun this way. 
4727Muzaka: What elephant?
4728Tao: Should we tell him?
4729Takio: I… don't know...
4730Frankenstein: I like it the way it is. 
4731Muzaka: Raizel do you know what they're talking about?
4732[Rai nods]
4733Lunark: I'm going to tell him.
4734Kate: Awww.
4735Lunark: So Muzaka… 
4736Muzaka: ?
4737[Lunark: This is harder than I thought…]
4738Lunark: Um… well… you should look in the mirror…. 
4739Muzaka: ???
4740[Muzaka looks in a mirror]
4741Muzaka: WHAT THE-!?
4742[Kate starts laughing]
4743Muzaka: KATE!!!!!
4744Kate: Yeah! 
4745Muzaka: I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!
4746[Kate continues laughing]
4747Kate: Sorry, not today! And I actually have work tomorrow. The earliest I can pencil you in is Friday!
4748Muzaka: I can't believe you did that!
4749Kate: Oh that was awesome! This turned out to be a really nice night!
4750M-21: Kate I seriously worry about you sometimes…. 
4751Kate: Oh he's fine! It'll come off with rubbing alcohol. 
4752Frankenstein: This was the best one yet Kate!
4753Kate: Thank you!
4754Lunark: She is so your sister…. 
4755[Frankenstein smiles proudly]
4756Tao: I wonder if I should leave while I still can… 
4757Takio: Yeah… if he finds those pictures of us… 
4758[Muzaka comes back]
4759Muzaka: Damn it! I'm supposed to be scary! I was the Lord of the Werewolves! 
4760Frankenstein: Awww. You're still scary!
4761Muzaka: Yeah, fuck you Frankenstein! Raizel, am I scary?
4762Rai: Hmmm.
4763Muzaka: Lunark I'm scary, right?
4764Lunark: Well…
4765Muzaka: …
4766Tao: You're plenty scary to me. 
4767Muzaka: Really?
4768Tao: Yeah. 
4769Takio: Me too. 
4770M-21: Hmm. Yeah, me too. 
4771Kate: You're not scary to me. But I'm a bad reference for… well pretty much everything really… 
4772Muzaka [sighs]
4773Kate: Actually there's something I've been wondering about. [to M-21] Crombell conducted experiments to turn you into a Werewolf, right?
4774M-21: Yeah.
4775Kate: What if he used Muzaka in those experiments?
4776Everyone: !!!
4777Frankenstein: Hmm. That's unlikely. M-21's heart is a Werewolf heart but I don't think they could have taken Muzaka's heart without killing him. Although… there is a small chance… that Muzaka was used in addition to the Werewolf heart.
4778Kate: Actually it might even really be his heart. Garda blew a hole in his chest before and he recovered. 
4779Frankenstein: That's true…. I always assumed that the Werewolf whose heart was taken had died but given their regeneration it's possible they could have survived something like that. 
4780Everyone: !!!
4781Kate: Hm. That would kind of make you Muzaka's son. 
4782M-21: I… zu… wha-?
4783Kate [to Muzaka]: That would also kind of make me your daughter-in-law!
4784Muzaka [shocked]: !!!
4785Frankenstein: Hmm. We could conduct some tests if you guys want to check it out. 
4786[Muzaka: No way! But… a half-human half-werewolf kid? It's kind of like Ashleen…]
4787[M-21: What the fuck!? Does this mean Muzaka is my father!? Or is it more like I have two fathers? A human one and a Werewolf one?]
4788Kate: Oh this is so fun! It's like our family just keeps on growing!
4789Lunark: Well at least one of you is having fun…. [looks at Frankenstein] Make that two of you.

4792Extra:
4793[After Rai kills Cranes]
4794[Tao: Holy shit!]
4795[Tao [shaking]: Both Cranes and Shark disappeared without a trace.]
4796[Tao: He's not going to attack me, is he? If he does I'm toast…]
4797[Rai turns towards Tao]
4798Tao [gulp]: H-hi. I'm Tao…
4799Rai: Are you alright?
4800Tao: Y-yeah… [Am I going to stay that way though?]
4801Rai: ...
4802[Rai turns back to M-21]
4803[Tao [exhales]: Okay… I guess I'm safe…]
4804[Tao: Holy shit… Am I the only survivor?]
4805…
4806[Frankenstein shows up]
4807Frankenstein: Who are you? Are you a part of DA-5?
4808Tao [gulp]: Um… yeah…
4809Tao: I'm Tao and I would very much like to not die, please. 
4810[Frankenstein looks at Rai]
4811[Rai nods]
4812Frankenstein: Ok. 
4813Frankenstein: Your friend is on the building across from here. 
4814Tao: What? 
4815Frankenstein: Bring him with you. 
4816Tao: O-okay.
4817[Tao: Then I'm not the only one?]
4818[Tao: Is it Hammer or Takio? I hope it's Takio…]
4819…
4820[Tao sees Takio]
4821Tao: I-is he alive?
4822[Takio coughs]
4823Tao [exhales]: Oh thank god. He is alive. 
4824Tao: Takio come on.
4825Takio: Tao? Where are we going?
4826Tao: It's ok [I think]. I'll get you someplace safe and get you some help. 
4827[Takio passes out]
4828…
4829[At the house]
4830Tao: Are you really going to help him?
4831Frankenstein: Yes. 
4832Tao: But… you did that to him, didn't you?
4833Frankenstein: Yes. 
4834[Tao gulps]
4835Frankenstein [turns to him]: Should I check you out as well? You're not injured are you?
4836Tao [backs away]: I-I'm fine. 
4837Frankenstein: You know we're not going to hurt you. 
4838[Tao: I guess if they wanted to we'd already be dead…]
4839[Tao exhales]
4840Tao: So what's going to happen to us now? Are we prisoners? 
4841Frankenstein: No. I'll fix your friend and then you're both free to go. 
4842Tao: Really? 
4843Frankenstein: Yes. 
4844Frankenstein: Why don't you go wait outside? 
4845[Tao looks at Takio]
4846Tao: Ok. 
4847[Tao: Whoa… who are these guys?]
4848[Tao: At least they seem friendly.]
4849
4850[Seria is explaining about Rai and Frankenstein]
4851[Tao stops walking]
4852Takio: Hm? Tao what's wrong?
4853Tao: Um… is it safe for us to go back?
4854M-21: What do you mean? 
4855Tao: I mean… I already knew they were strong but… it sounds like they're some of the strongest people on the planet. Is it really safe for us to be staying with them? 
4856Takio: I know what you mean. After seeing Frankenstein fight it's kind of hard to believe I'm still alive…
4857M-21: Well I think we have to go back. 
4858Tao: Why? 
4859M-21: Um, they're our ride home. Do you want to stay in Lukedonia? 
4860Tao and Takio: Oh yeah….
4861…
4862[After the ramen]
4863Frankenstein: Tao. 
4864Tao [nervous]: Yes, boss!
4865Frankenstein [creepy smile]: You…
4866Tao [gulp]: Ep~!
4867[Tao: Oh god, what did I do!? Did I piss him off somehow!?]
4868[Frankenstein's hand reaches out]
4869[Tao [terrified]: Please be gentle….]
4870[Frankenstein pats him on the shoulder]
4871Frankenstein: You are really good around people. 
4872Tao [nervous]: Oh… thank you. Ha Ha~
4873Takio: …
4874M-21: …
