KIREI : Your holiness ( He greets with a slight bow with John waving him on without turning to face him)
JOHN : Kirei, you are here. Any news?
KIREI : We have successfully extracted the Ark and the sacred artefact is now felt placed in the Vault.
JOHN : That’s good and the apostles??
KIREI : We led them from the Vault straight to the new living quarters built for them.
JOHN : Tell me, have they settled into their new home?? ( He asks passively)
KIREI : Yes your holiness, the apostles were quite pleased with the new arrangements though due to their grief they weren’t able to fully enjoy the new setting. ( He explains in a calm voice )
JOHN : So they are still grieving ?? ( He asks without actually expecting a response)
KIREI : Is it a surprise to you, your holiness??... Eliza was an important figure to the apostles and it is understandable that the loss of her would end up affecting them in such a manner though t
UNKNOWN WOMAN : Did you miss me?? ( She asks as she runs her hand through the man’s hair)UNKNOWN MAN : I must confess that I have missed you greatly, I was wondering how long you were going to stay away for ( He replied as he took a hold of the woman’s palm)UNKNOWN WOMAN : So cute, unfortunately I couldn’t help it. I couldn’t allow the others find out about our escapades. ( She remarked as the man stood up and turned to face her)UNKNOWN MAN : So you left to protect me??... I didn’t realize I meant that much to you ( He says in a sly tone )UNKNOWN WOMAN : Oh c’mon Klaus, don’t say such things ( She replied feigning sadness as she turned away from Klaus)UNKNOWN MAN ( KLAUS) : I apologize for my comment, I did not mean to upset you ( He says as he walks up to her and wraps his hands around her)UNKNOWN WOMAN : You really surprise every time, Klaus. Which is why I am so interested on you ( She remarks with a chuckle
KHALID : My lady?? ( He has a look of suspicion and worry on his face as he wondered what caused Baby to laugh so loudly)BABY : Why do you think so much, Khalid?? ( She asks with a smile)… You think way too much for an academic of your level, you should rather enjoy yourself and have fun, don’t you agreeKHALID : I apologize for overly thinking about this my lady but still my curiosity precedes me. Humans are a fleeting race who know nothing but destruction, they are not meant to mean anything to us but yet you seem to have taken a special liking to that Klaus.BABY : I understand why you would ask such questions Khalid. Humanity is surely nothing but a destructive race but it has been proven time and time again that there are those amongst them that stand out of the crowd, don’t you agreeKHALID : So are you saying that Klaus is one of those people??BABY : Of course not, he is just has bad as his fellow insects ( She rep
[FLASHBACK ]Klaus is seen in the midst of a few demons with Baby seating atop a throne with skulls on it, it is clear that the young man is perplexed at what was going on but the real question was that, what exactly was going on. Not too long after, Baby finally decides to break the silence with her voice echoing across the grim room.BABY : Do you not have any questions??... Do you know why you are here??KLAUS : I honestly do not know anything, all I know is that I was praying one moment and the next I’m kneeling before the most beautiful and intimidating woman that I have ever met ( He doesn’t realize his words until Baby let’s out a chuckle)BABY : You my friend, have a way with words and I have to applaud you for that. Most men would be scared out of their minds while kneeling before me but you, you are quite strange.KLAUS : But then is it not strange that I should be scared in the presence of one whom I w
BABY : Oh really, you really don’t want to die?? ( She snickers)KLAUS : No, not yet anyways. I have a dream and until I fulfill that dream, I cannot die just yet ( Klaus remarks with a determined look on his face )BABY : My oh my, such determination ( She chuckles as she waves for the demon’s dragging him away to leave him be)… Do tell me Klaus, what is this great dream of yours that you are so determines to fulfill ( She asks with an evil smile)KLAUS : What does it matter to you?? ( He asks with a serious expression on his face)BABY : I’m curious so do indulge me with this dream of yours, I might just spare your lifeKLAUS : Tch… my dream is to one day help the Church and all our loyalists reclaim the Earth after this war is over, to rebuild the planet and live in peace in a world where we can do as we like. That is my dream ( He speaks with self righteousness resonating from his voice)BABY : My oh my, I am quit
KLAUS : Where am I??BABY : A pocket dimension I made for myself ( She replies still smiling)KLAUS : How did I get here?? ( He asks gruffly)BABY : I brought you here to rest. I had a feeling that after I showed you the truth, you won’t be able to take it so I had this room specially made to keep you once you passed outKLAUS : How long are you planning on keeping me here??... Or are you going to kill me??BABY : When you want to leave you can leave, I won’t stop youKLAUS : Oh really… ( He doubts what Baby has said and doesn’t seem to buy into her words)BABY : I have no reason to keep you or kill you so… ( She trails off as she saw how Klaus was staring at her).. Now you know the truth, right?? ( She asks in a sly voice )KLAUS : Tch… I can’t believe that I believed in that old geezer, I trusted in his words and ideals because I thought they were in the best interest of those loyal to him bu
JUDAS : Klaus, Klaus, Klaus!!!KLAUS : Yes my liege ( Klaus replies with a surprised look on his face as Judas jolted him from his thoughts)JUDAS : You seemed lost in thought for a moment, I hope all is well ( He asks with a bit of concern)KLAUS : yes my liege, all is well. I was just thinking about the Damnation ritual coming up ( He lies with a straight face)JUDAS : Oh… .are there any problems with preparation?? ( He asks indulging the young man)KLAUS : Well, yes and no. Honestly the only real issue is the fact that I do not understand why you would choose me of all people to take charge over such an important project.JUDAS : Oh…. Do you feel that you are inadequate and that you are unable to take care of this ??KLAUS : Well, it’s just that there are others that are more sufficient to take on the project. People with more experienceJUDAS : Well that is a valid point but still it doesn’t prov

GENERAL H. MULLIGAN : What is the meaning of this nonsense, soldier??...how dare you burst in here in such an unruly manner, Speak now. ( The general orders with a shout and annoyed look on his face as the soldier immediately bent over to catch his breath. The general was wearing a military uniform decorated with quite a few medals which helped to express the number of exploits he had enjoyed on the battlefield, his face reflected of one whom had seen several battles as an eye patch covered up his left eye with a deep scar running across it while his right eye spoke volumes about a man whom had seen a lot of horrors in his life, his hair was colored a light grey and his body physique looked to be well built. )UNKNOWN SOLDIER : Forgive the unruly manner in which I came in here general but the guards were stopping me from coming in and I have an important news which absolutely could not wait ( He replies in an apologetic tone with the general still staring at him
