Characters Present

Raiden Mei

Kevin Kaslana

Start

Mei

Who are you?

🔇 N/A

The air turned cold with his arrival. Mei felt as though she walked into a freezer vault.

🔇 N/A

A great, oppressive weight welled within her and kept her rooted at her place.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

Kevin Kaslana. The leader of the World Serpent.

🔇 N/A

His voice was calm and dispelled any feelings of oppression.

🔇 N/A

She looked into his eyes. Both were devoid of anything...

🔇 N/A

...except for a hint of sadness... a sadness that never healed and would never heal.

🔇 N/A

Mei

A Kaslana...

🔇 N/A

Kevin

Raiden Mei, you wish to save a girl. Neither Schicksal nor AE can help you.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

But the World Serpent can. You have my word.

🔇 N/A

Mei

What do you want in return?

🔇 N/A

Kevin

You.

🔇 N/A

His voice was calm and his words were few, yet they felt like inviolate commandments etched upon stone.

🔇 N/A

Mei found herself in a position where she bore the full brunt of his words.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Tell me exactly how you would save her.

🔇 N/A

Mei

I'll do anything you want... but only if you really succeed.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

Kiana is dying. The core infection is stronger than she could bear.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

Her other cores must be removed if she hopes to survive. There is only one way.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

I will help you become the Herrscher of Thunder again.

🔇 N/A

Mei

What?

🔇 N/A

Kevin

You were chosen. A channel linked to the Imaginary Tree will forever remain within you.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

Absorb the residual energy from the 3rd Honkai and you will wake again to reclaim the Power of Thunder from Kiana.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

You will gain a new Herrscher core. The Gem of Conquest in Kiana will dissolve. Her conditions will then improve.

🔇 N/A

His cold voice struck Mei with every word. She recalled the strange things she had witnessed.

🔇 N/A

Dr. Tesla's diagnostics, the sudden episodes of dizziness, and Raven's sudden change in attitude.

🔇 N/A

She understood everything at once.

🔇 N/A

Mei

I can save Kiana by becoming a Herrscher?

🔇 N/A

Kevin

Correct.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Then there's nothing for me to worry about.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Kiana pulled me out of the darkness 3 years ago. She made me who I am. I'll gladly do it to save her life.

🔇 N/A

Mei

But if I were to be controlled by the Honkai, I want you to...

🔇 N/A

Kevin

That will not happen.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

You should think what happens *after* you become a Herrscher.

🔇 N/A

Mei

...?

🔇 N/A

Kevin

You can save Kiana this time, but she will throw herself into danger again.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

She will use her void powers to save the world and the people around her.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

So long as the Honkai and Herrschers exist, she will rise up to fight them...

🔇 N/A

Kevin

...and she will keep fighting till she dies.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

I have seen many like her.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

Despite death and terror, they were armed with a belief that compels them to the path...

🔇 N/A

Kevin

...and all of them left, forever sleeping in the fields.

🔇 N/A

His words were razor ice that cut at her heart. She wanted to disagree but failed to find a counter-argument...

🔇 N/A

...for she knew he spoke the truth. No sacrifice she makes could change the inevitable.

🔇 N/A

Mei

No... I won't let that happen...never...

🔇 N/A

Kevin

You can't stop her. You know it. That is why you are here.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

But you have a choice.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

You can join the Serpent.

🔇 N/A

Mei

What?

🔇 N/A

Kevin

More Herrschers will appear soon. Humanity's war against the Honkai is escalating.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

Follow the Serpent. Purge the Honkai. Capture the Herrschers. Seal their powers, and starve the Void Queen.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

Kiana is only safe when you are not with her.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

Once Project: STIGMA succeeds, both of you shall be human once again.

🔇 N/A

———!

🔇 N/A

With a great explosion, a beam of light shot through the sky and shattered it into a million fragments.

🔇 N/A

Mei

What just happened?

🔇 N/A

Kevin

The time has come.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

The gate is open. The Imaginary Tree shall manifest itself in this city.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

Dormant Honkai will seep out of the Earth. Absorb it. Be the Herrscher of Thunder once more to save her.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

But there is only one way for you to keep her away from harm.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

You will have time to think about this, and decide if you want to trust me and the World Serpent.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

Kiana's fate is in your hands, Raiden Mei.

🔇 N/A

Kevin

I do not need to convince you. This is something you know far better than anyone else...

🔇 N/A

Kevin

..her belief can save the world, except for herself.

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black, then switches to the Roost, where the Captain will have control of Mei's [Striker Fulminata] battlesuit. >

Defeat all Quantum Shadows and escape from the shelters.

< Defeat the enemies. >

Mei:

Quantum Shadows...?!

Mei:

Why would there be Quantum Shadows in this city?!

< Enemies defeated. >

Mei:

The building is shaking...!

Mei:

Is it an earthquake? No, it's...

Mei

Hngh...

🔇 N/A

A sudden gust of wind tore through the cracks. She lost her balance as the tower shook violently.

🔇 N/A

She raised her head. The seawater that flooded the city was receding.

🔇 N/A

Mei

The water... it's receding? No... something isn't right.

🔇 N/A

Mei

The Roost is rising... the buildings are being dragged towards the sky...

🔇 N/A

There were rumblings at a distance followed by explosions and thunderous echoes of collapsing buildings.

🔇 N/A

An endless white light then engulfed everything before her.

🔇 N/A
