One of a kind genius? World-renowned beauty? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] ＠Rider ...No, sorry, can't say that I have.

[k] ＠Da Vinci Ah, I'll ask for the hell of it: how about Michelangelo? You haven't heard of him, have you? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 6] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] ＠Rider Sorry, but no.

[k] ＠Da Vinci There's no way he could be more famous than a true Renaissance woman like myself. [k] [charaFace E 1] ＠Da Vinci I mean, I already knew as much, but it never hurts to check. [k] [charaFace E 4] ＠Da Vinci Still... Hmm... [k] ＠Da Vinci If he's dressed like that but hasn't heard of Mikey, he really must've lost his memory... [k] [charaFace E 0] ＠Da Vinci Ahem. At any rate, based on the way you fight, your equipment, and your outfit... [k] ＠Da Vinci I thought you might have been from my own time.[sr]Too bad we never met when we were both alive, huh? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 1] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] ＠Rider Indeed. Believe me, I wish someone could just tell me who I am...

[k] ＠Da Vinci Let me make sure I have all this correct. First of all, you said there are three primary regions, right? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] ＠Rider That's right, but it's not quite the whole story.[sr]I think I'd better get more specific. [k] ＠Rider There are three major cities here, each of which is in the center of its respective region. [k] ＠Rider Each city is ruled by a different Servant, and are at constant war with one another. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash ...! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 0,-90] ＠Da Vinci Oho, Servants, hmm?[sr]That leads perfectly into my next question. [k] ＠Da Vinci Do the names Helena Blavatsky or Francis Drake ring any bells? [k] ＠Da Vinci They are Servants who may have ended up there themselves. [k] [charaFace E 4] ＠Da Vinci I don't suppose either of them is ruling one of those cities? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] ＠Rider Sorry... I'm afraid I don't know that either.[sr]The ruling Servants here keep their True Names hidden. [k] ＠Rider I really can't say one way or another. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 0,-90] ＠Da Vinci I see. Figures it wouldn't be that easy. [k] [charaFace E 4] ＠Da Vinci There's still so much we don't know. Are they hiding their True Names? Did they forget them like you did? [k] ＠Da Vinci ...Are they even here in Agartha at all? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] ＠Rider Returning to the matter at hand: there are three powers vying for control over this place. [k] [charaFace F 1] ＠Rider Four, I suppose, if you count those of us in the Resistance. [k] [charaFace F 0] ＠Rider Incidentally, the borders between each Servant's territory are not quite clear. That is not counting those of us living in the space between territories... [k] ＠Rider ...The various powers fight each other daily in an endless cycle of gaining and losing ground. [k] ？1：So then, that queen we met earlier...? ？2：Tell us more about these Servants. [charaFace F 0] ＠Rider Sure thing.[sr]But I'd say you know about one of them now, hm? [k] ？！ [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_2 1.5] [charaFace F 0] ＠Rider We were fortunate to just miss her, but it seems you had the ill luck to run into her yourselves. It's a wonder you lived to tell the tale, really. [k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_5 0.1] ＠Rider She is the queen of the Amazons, the ruler of the golden city in the jungle, which is one of the three major cities of Agartha. [k] ＠Rider We call her the Berserker of El Dorado, after the Amazons' capital city. [k] ＠Rider She and her people are the most aggressive of all the major powers down here... [k] ＠Rider ...and also the most numerous. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 4] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ＠d'Eon Yes, we've experienced their aggression firsthand. Peaceful talks had no appeal to them. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 5] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] ＠Fergus That's for sure.[sr]To be honest, I found them rather frightening... [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Astolfo I don't blame you, considering how they started shouting “Stray man!” the moment they caught sight of you. Anyway, who are the other two powers? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash Yes, we would appreciate a complete overview of the area before we begin dealing with the details. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] ＠Rider Another of the powers here resides in a fortress city so brightly lit at all hours of the day that it's known colloquially as the Nightless City. [k] ＠Rider I'm told it's ruled by a fearsome empress Servant, though I've never seen her myself. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 4] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] ＠Fergus Another woman... [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash An empress, huh? The term “Nightless City” also reminds me of Kabukicho in Tokyo. [k] ＠Mash I wonder what sort of empress she is... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] ＠Rider The last group resides in the City of Water, located on the bank of the great underground lake to the east. [k] ＠Rider Word has it that a female Servant rules that one as well. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 4] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] ＠Fergus Another one!? I don't know what I'm going to do against so many female opponents...

[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 5] [charaFadein E 0.1 0,-90] ＠Da Vinci Aha, now it all becomes clear.[sr]This whole place is dominated by women. [k] ＠Da Vinci It's not just that one Amazonian town.[sr]The entire societal structure of Agartha... [k] ＠Da Vinci ...is arranged so that men are oppressed like slaves no matter where they go. Am I wrong? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] ＠Rider ...Nope, you're dead on.[sr]That's exactly what the Resistance is fighting against. [k] ＠Rider Every man that falls down here ends up getting captured and enslaved by the women. [k] [charaFace F 5] ＠Rider Down here, they're treated as no more than pets, laborers, outlets for their owners' frustrations, or a means of reproduction. They have no freedom at all. [k] ＠Rider No one should be treated like that just for being born a certain way. That sort of world just isn't right. [k] [charaFace F 0] ＠Rider I may be a worthless, powerless Servant, with no memory of my True Name or my Noble Phantasm... [k] ＠Rider ...but as far as reasons to fight go,[sr]that one's enough for me. [k] ？1：Rider... [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_5 0.3] [wt 0.4] ？2：That was elegant of you, Rider...

[k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash Our goal is to find the Singularity that we believe is creating this world... [k] ＠Mash ...and destroy the escaped Demon God Pillar at the heart of it. [k] ＠Mash At the moment, all we can say for certain is that it's somewhere here in Agartha. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 0,-90] ＠Da Vinci So here we are, searching this place on foot inch by inch, or hoping some unusual signal gets picked up by our equipment. [k] ＠Da Vinci Anyway, if this is anything like the last times, the Demon God Pillar has probably assimilated the Servant acting as the Singularity's core. [k] ＠Da Vinci If so, it's most likely fused with one of those three ruling Servants. [k] ？1：Then we'll just have to see for ourselves. ？2：It could also be someone we know. ？！ [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Astolfo Uh huh, uh huh.

[k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaEffectStop H bit_talk_10_LowLevel] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 1] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] ＠Rider What else? Defeat the rulers of the three cities and free the men enslaved in this world. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ＠d'Eon I see our goals align nicely. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 5] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] ＠Fergus I agree. And not just because it means I can keep eating more of these delicious peaches! [k] ＠Fergus And certainly not because I have a strong desire to train myself to be stronger in combat! [k] ？1：You're a terrible liar! ？2：He's just like the other Fergus, only not... ？！ [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Astolfo We might be few in number, but we're each worth a hundred soldiers. You can totally count on us! [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] ＠Rider Thank you. That will certainly be helpful since the three major powers greatly outnumber us. [k] ＠Rider So far, our only viable option has been small-scale guerilla warfare, so we'd be glad to have a few powerful warriors to bolster our ranks.
