- Excited Boy:
- Yeah!!!
- I did it!!!
- Excited Boy:
- I finally got my hands on the newest volume of "Fundamental Forces"!
- The most popular graphic novel in the entire world!
- Excited Boy:
- Elena looks so cool on the cover!
- Hero of the Crystal, bearer of light!
- Man, I really wish I could learn her special moves.
- Excited Boy:
- But what happened on the last volume?
- I already forgot.
- Excited Boy:
- Oh yeah! I think Elena was about to fight that witch lady one on one.
- That was an awesome cliffhanger.
- Excited Boy:
- I really wanna know what happens next though!
- So I'll just read it right here and now!
- Morgana:
- Oh, it's you...
- That swordswoman from the village.
- We meet yet again.
- Morgana:
- Last time you made quick work of my precious dragon.
- Elena:
- As I suspected.
- It was you who summoned that beast to attack the village.
- Elena:
- And this... You are also responsible for this?
- What could you hope to gain from needlessly slaughtering the innocent?
- Morgana:
- But it isn't needless slaughter.
- I am simply purging the land.
- Elena:
- Purging the land?
- Morgana:
- This place is riddled with poverty and rampant with crime...
- Morgana:
- There is no doubt in my mind that everyone in this foul city is evil.
- It must be cleansed.
- Elena:
- And who are you to judge the good people of this city?
- Morgana:
- Glad you asked.
- I am righteousness made flesh, the arbiter
- of absolute justice.
- Elena:
- I beg your pardon?
- Morgana:
- I am Morgana, Empress of Virtue.
- I know all that is right, and thus
- everything I do is right.
- Morgana:
- Anyone who dares deem me wicked is but
- wicked himself.
- Morgana:
- Evil is a disgusting disease.
- I have no need for it in my world.
- So it falls to me to completely eradicate it.
- Morgana:
- Only then will I be able to build my new empire, where I shall lead the people as their ruler.
- Morgana:
- My nation will be a utopia where humanity can prosper.
- A stupendous plan, wouldn't you say?
- Elena:
- ...
- Dying Girl:
- Ungh...
- Elena:
- Are you alright?
- Dying Girl:
- M-mommy...
- M-mommy... is dead...
- That lady... used her magic...
- Dying Girl:
- It's... it's all her fault...
- *Sniff* Waah...waaaaaah!
- Morgana:
- She speaks as if I did something wrong!
- The child cannot tell wrong from right.
- This is absurd.
- Morgana:
- My justice is unequivocal.
- Those who oppose it...
- Morgana:
- Are evil!
- Morgana:
- And I shall destroy all that is evil!
- Elena:
- Not another word.
- You know not of what you speak.
- Elena:
- I have no interest in your twisted sense of justice
- or your delusional idea of paradise.
- Elena:
- However, if you hurt the people of this city...
- Elena:
- Then I will not hesitate to cut you down.
- Plain and simple.
- Morgana:
- My, my, aren't we confident.
- If you dare stand in my way,
- I shall purge you from this world as well.
- Morgana:
- Meet my loyal retainers, who unlike you are smart enough to share my vision.
- Morgana:
- Now, my knights!
- Dispose of that troublesome swordswoman by any means necessary!
