>*Do you know what day it is today, Kris?
>"October 31st?"
>*That's right. December's-- my daughter's --birthday.
>"Birthday?"
>*Carol had a troubled pregnancy, and ultimately the baby came a month early, premature. Due to complications, Carol had an emergency C-section.
>*I thought I was going to lose both of them. I was so afraid.
>*It was a whole month before we left the infant intensive care unit with our child in our arms.
>*It wasn't until that day we named her. December 1st. My first child.
>*But it was today, 19 years ago, that my family was born. The family meant to lead Hometown, and this nation.
>"All you want is power -- at any cost."
>*Kris, it's not power I want. What I want to take back from Royal Sciences LLC are things like-- choices, love, FREEDOM, Kris. The fundamental keys to a life worth living. Everything that's been wiped out by their twisted Prophecy.
>*KRIS, ARE YOU RECEIVING? WE'RE STILL HERE.
>"How's that possible?! The Delta Rune was destroyed!"
>*ONLY G_____...
>"Who are you?"
>*TO BEGIN WITH -- WE'RE NOT WHAT YOU'D CALL -- LIGHTNERS.
>*OVER THE PAST XXX YEARS, A KIND OF CONSCIOUSNESS FORMED LAYER BY LAYER IN THE CRUCIBLE OF THE UNDERGROUND...
>*WE ARE FORMLESS. WE ARE THE VERY FEAR AND UNCERTAINTY THAT LIGHTNERS INVOKE SO OFTEN. HOW CAN ANYONE HOPE TO ELIMINATE US? AS LONG AS DARKNESS EXISTS, SO WILL WE.
>*IT'S TIME FOR THE FINAL EXERCISE. KRIS, TAKE RUDOLPH DOWN.
>"Think again! I'm through doing what I'm told!"
>*OH REALLY? AREN'T YOU FORGETTING SOMETHING?
>*THE TERMINATION OF VITAL SIGNALS FROM YOUR HUMAN SOUL MEANS THE DEATH OF SUSIE. NOT TO MENTION THE DEATH OF RALSEI. HE'S WIRED THE SAME WAY.
>"Ralsei -- does he actually exist?"
>*Of course I do, Kris! You have to beLIEve me!
>"Damn...!"
>*IT WILL BE A FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
>*SO, BURNING EYES! WILL IT BE RUDOLPH, THE ROYAL SCIENCES' CREATION? OR YOU -- RUDOLPH'S CREATION?
>*OUR BELOVED MONSTERS -- ENJOY YOURSELVES.
>*By the way, Kris,... I was the one who killed your real parents!
