DESPERATION

Noel: …Ugh Seriously, what is wrong with that man! I can't believe the nerve of him…!
He doesn't have to say things like that to me…
Did…I do something wrong…?
{sulking on a swing. Her voice sounds sad and she is very confused.}
No…I didn't . I know I didn't. At least I think I didn't.
But what I said to him as I left… *sigh*

FLASHBACK/

Noel: No it's nothing. I just thought we could talk for a while.
Ragna: Why would I waste my breath?
Noel: Why do you have to say it that way…?
Ragna: Just go away.
Noel: …Ok. Ragna the Bloodedge, I will go this time, but when we meet each other again, it will be as enemies.

/END FLASHBACK

Noel: Seriously, though… He didn't have to be so rude to me.
[Lost in her thoughts, Noel kicked at a small stone.]
Noel: *Sigh*
[Noel felt almost like a little girl with a crush, especially considering the way she'd kept getting flustered and upset over each conversation.]
Noel: {realizing how she's feeling} No no no That's not it. That's definitely not it! Definitely not…I think..? Noel pull yourself together. Ragna is your enemy… I know that, but…why do I …?
Enough of this! I need to focus on something else…!
Speaking of something else, why did Major Kisaragi…

FLASHBACK/
Jin: You irritating little…! Why must you stand in my way?!
/end FLASHBACK

Noel: Why do I have to…?
That reminds me, there's something strange about Major Kisaragi, too. Rachel keeps spouting cryptic nonsense… And that Nu girl.
Since when did this begin happening…?
Noel Thought: (What should I do now?)
[There were no more stones left to kick]

???: Excuse me. You're Leitenant Noel Vermillion, correct?
[Surprised by an officer's sudden appearance, Noel jumped to her feet.]
Noel: …Eh? U-um… y-yes! Excuse me. Yes I am Lieutenant Noel Vermillion.
???: ...
Noel: I'm terribly sorry, it's just that …I was… thinking…
???: …I come on behalf of the Praetorian Guard of the NOL. We're experiencing a great deal of interference about the 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi right now, so I've come to you you orders directly.

Noel: Y-yes! Thank you very much. Is it OK if I check them now?
???: Yes
Noel: …Wh…? Orders to… return..?
???: Indeed. You've been ordered to put your mission on hold and return to headquarters immediately.
Noel: W-wait a second! Major Jin Kisaragi is still at large and what are you to do about the search for Ragna the Bloodedge?
???: I'm afraid I can't answer either of your questions, Lieutenant. I do not have access to that information.
Noel: ...I apologize.
???: …Right… *sigh*
…You'll never change will you Noel? You really can't be serious, right? I mean, come on you honestly don't know who this is?
Noel: ???
???: It's me Noellie.
{??? takes off mask!}
Noel: Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma--!!
Makoto: Ma…?
Noel: Makoto! I've missed you so much!

[Unable to contain her happiness and joy any longer, Noel leaped towards Makoto and crushed her in a hug. Noel couldn't help but let her emotions of anxiety and doubt overflow in the form of tears. . . Makoto gently patted Noel's head. It was only moments ago that Makoto's uniform was a cold symbol of NOL authority, but now. . . it was a shining beacon of hope, comfort, and friendship. A few minutes later the two of them sit down on the swing set in the park. Noel told Makoto everything was on her mind… About Ragna, Jin… as well as what had happened in the dark depths of Kagutsuchi. {But she leaves out Hazama's involvement.}]

Noel: And that's what happened.
Makoto: Wow… It sounds like you've been through a lot recently.
Noel: Yeah I just didn't know what to do…And thinking by myself, I…Oh, I'm so glad you came, Makoto. Thank you so much!
Makoto: O-Oh, right… Yeah, but… Putting that aside for now, Noel…
Noel: Hm? What's the matter, Makoto.
Makoto: I should expect nothing less from the ministerial secretary of Major Jin Kisaragi. Her true identity: a secret agent that takes on covert operations! Your explanation was really very informative, but… Are you sure it's OK to tell me all this? I m ean… shouldn't information like this be classified?
Noel: …Eh?… AAAAHHH! Ohmygod ohmygod… Please forget I said anything! Makoto! Seriously, forget it! I'm really sorry!
Makoto: Ahaha… Well, I suppose it's OK. I just need to keep my mouth shut now, right? And that was very 'like' you, Noel. I'm glad you haven't changed.
Noel: V-Very… 'like' me…? Ahaha… ahahahaha… {noel is happy to know that Makoto is glad she hasn't changed}

Noel: But, Makoto, what are you doing in Kagutsuchi? D-Don't tell me you came all the way over here to see me?!
Makoto: That's exactly right! …Is what I would like to tell you, but unfortunately I'm here on duty. To tell you the truth, we actually can't get a hold of anyone in the Kagutsuchi branch of the NOL, so I was sent here to investigate. Since I was already here, though, I figured I'd stop by and say 'hi' to you, too!
Noel: I see. Speaking of which, when I arrive at the branch, there was nobody there…
I thought that was a little strange, but… my thoughts were going in so many directions at the time.
Makoto: I see… Hmm. …
Noel: Makoto? What's the matter…?
Makoto: Mmmm…. Oh, it's nothing, really. I't just that… the entire organization has been…off… as of late. Especially Captain Hazama I never know what he's thinking or what he's up to.
Noel: …! C-Captain Hazama?
Makoto: What's the matter, Noel? Are you OK?
Noel: Y-Yeah … it was just… um… it just got a little cold.
Makoto: …If you say so. Sorry, Noel, but I have to get going, it looks like I'm going to be busier than I thought.
Noel: Eh, Makoto…? You're leaving already? Ah… …No, it's nothing… And good luck, OK…?
Makoto: …Noel. Seriously, are you sure you're OK?
Noel: …
Don't worry about me, Makoto… I'll be fine.
But… what's the matter with you, Makoto?
Makoto: Oh, no… It's nothing. Noel, do you best, all right?
Oh, yeah, I almost forgot… I heard Major Kisaragi is recuperating at the sick bay in one of the NOL's airships. Why don't you go find him and talk things over…?
Noel: That sounds like a good idea. Maybe I'll do that…
Makoto: And…
No, nevermind. It's nothing. Anyway, the NOL ship is docked at port 5 right now, so you'd better hurry.
And one last thing. Try to stay away from Captain Hazama, OK? Anyway, I'll see you around. Buh-bye, Noel!

--- Next SCENE AT PORT 5:

She finds Carl injured ands asks him if he's ok. He dismisses her and she's super worried and Carl pleads her to leave She hears a ringing in her head. She sees into Carl's memories somehow. He is upset about what happened to Ada being turned into Nirvana by their father. noel freaks out about seeing the memories and realizing this is what it means to be an observer. Suddenly Nirvana attacks Noel, but she gets out of the way w/ a warning from Bolverk. Suddenly Carl starts saying he understands she's an enemy and they fight.
Carl loses and is upset, apologizing to Nirvana because of failing. (she must sense she's the successor of the true azure)
Carl passes out. Noel gets worried. She feels REALLY guilty once the influence of Bolverk disappears.
Bang shows up to be himself. Guilts the hell out of poor Noel for fighting Nirvana.

2 options: Option: It's like talking to a wall…I need to calm him down!

Noel is freaking out inside and wants to try and calm Bang. (Carl attended the military academy with Noel, so they're acquaintances)
Bang is not listening. As usual. Being a psycho!!!!!
Noel is pulling a Ragna and just like "WHAT THE FUCK X( THAT'S IT."
Noel draws her guns for battle.

>>> IF BANG LOSES.

Bang: Stop right there >:|
Bang is confused. He can't sense any killing intent and finds her hard to fight as a result. She explains she didn't do anything to Carl, his doll just attacked her and he already was injured.

3 Options Given:
OPTION 1. Follow!!!! >>>
{^^she feels responsible so she'll go. Bang admires her for coming along.
----> Litchi fixes Carl up. Bang flirts with Litchi and praises her! Litchi is all "ah heh heh 8|a". She says she doesn't think they have to do anything in return (for her fixing up Carl) and will take care of Carl. Bang now asks if Noel is going somewhere since she was in such a hurry. She tells him she was heading to a sickbay at the port. Bang offers to escort her there for wasting her time.
IT'S RAINING AND DARK NOW. They both see Jin jump out of a window… (unsure) And Bang freaks out, recognizing him and runs off after Jin. Noel is left standing there stunned.
Bang confronts Jin. Jin is not impressed. Tells him to get out of the way. They get ready to fight. Noel intervenes!!}

Jin: OH GOD NOT YOU. ARE YOU HERE TO GET IN MY WAY TOO?
{Noel just wants to talk to Jin. But he's like "no. slut." and attacks her. Bang deflects the attack. They're waving their dicks at each other. Then Arakune shows up out of nowhere and kidnaps Noel. Bang breaks off from Jin to go save her. Jin is like lol wtfever.
Noel is cold and in the dark. Hakumen rescues her. Or more like pisses Arakune off and then is like "lol ok I have some movies to rent you take care of this, Noel."}

FIGHT WITH ARAKUNE:
IF YOU WIN:
{Noel thanks Hakumen with a bow but then he turns his blade on her as he seems to realize something. He apologizes, but says he must test something. They battle.}
IF YOU LOSE TO HAKUMEN:
He's really strong. Hakumen sighs and says she's young but has potential. And she has the potential for light. Rachel shows up and Hakumen and Rachel start talking about the continuum shift. They mention she could have become the black beast just now with Arakune and Hakumen gets insulted (and insulted Hakumen gets insulted for the black beast, it seems? Because he he says Arakune is nothing compared to the Black Beast. And he (Hakumen himself) could have easily have defeated him).
Hakumen: Eavesdropping is impolite, rabbit.
Hazama then suddenly shows up to the party. Phantom fucks over Hakumen and Rachel and Hazama is like teehee. They're all confused. As usual.

Hakumen: You only waste your strength. This is sorcery.
Rachel: Sorcery?! NO… You mean to say---
Hazama: Ok, OK, let's quiet down now, all right?
Noel: E-Eh!? What? Aaaah!
Rachel: Noel!
Hazama: Aaaaand done! Sorry, but I'm taking her with me. I need her for …well, why spoil the surprise? You'll see! Oh, before I forget…. I'd really appreciate if the spectators could keep to their seats, all right? Just enjoy the show from down there. After all, you've got front-row seats…. TO THE END OF THE WORLD.

[One of the many possibilities of the continuum shift]
---------
-----
Gag ending option loll
----
-----
TRUE PATH.

OPTION Choose to not get escorted by Bang (or something I can't remember the option sorry :( )

{Noel gets worried about the images she saw when she touched Carl. She doesn't know what's happening to her.

Noel is outside in the dark and the rain and panics about what she should be doing and didn't wish for any of this so why is it happening. She runs in a blind panic and runs right into Relius. (literally)}

Relius: …
Noel: I-i'm really sorry…I was I wasn't looking where I was going, and…
Relius: Well now.
Noel: Um, hopefully you're not injured… are you?
Relius: I see… number 12…. So…You're the "eye" now?
Noel: …! Just…who…are you?!
Relius: Heh heh heh… Truly a masterpiece!
Noel: Answer my question…!
Relius: I was under the assumption that it was an utter, dismal failure, but… Despite my considerable years, it seems I still have much to learn.
Noel: A-Answer me! …I demand you answer my question!
Relius: I think I need to take you home… and give you a thorough examination…. I am excited…. Truly, the anticipation is almost palatable.
Noel: S-Stay away from me! No…! I need to run… Huh? Wh-what's this… My feet… they won't….move….! H-Huh…?
{Noel has a suddenly paralyzing fear of him and can't get away}
Noel: N-NO… Please…no…!
{Rachel is around somewhere}
Relius: It seems as if someone wishes to interfere. "Ignis," show yourself.
Noel: Eh….? What? This is Carl's…?
{Rachel shows up!}
Rachel: What are you doing!? We must leave, quickly.
{Rachel saves her and they get out of there)

[FLASHBACK]
{This is when they're all back in school}
Tsubaki: Noel… Noel, are you all right?
Noel: Eh…? Huh? This is….
Makoto: Oh, Noel… You've been almost bouncing off the walls since you bought that evilly delicious "Choclate Overload of the Whimsical Chef."
Noel: Huh…. dessert…?
(Noel finds herself holding a pasty. "That's right, we went to buy some of these.")
Makoto: Yeah, "dessert." Noel, are you OK? You seem more out of it than usual… Did you fall and bang your head on something?
Tsubaki: What?! No way! Show me!
{Tsubaki checks for injuries. so cute :C}
Noel: N-NO, I'm fine. Really, I am. I 'm sorry I think I just got a little too excited… Ahahahaha…
Makoto: Seriously! I know this is an exciting moment and all, but we need to keep it under control, yeah?
Tsubaki: Really, Makoto, you're not one to talk.
Makoto: But this wonderful pastry of waistline destruction is only available once a year! I'd put it up there with ars magus in terms of rarity.
Tsubaki: Yes yes yes… I understand. We're almost at the student council room.
Makoto: What about you, Tsubaki? You seem to be in awfully big hurry.
{Tsubaki turns red}
Tsubaki: W-Well I guess you can't help it can you… Right? Noel?
Noel: Y-Yeah…Exactly…
Tsubaki: Oh, Jin… you're here already?
Jin: Yeah. There were a few things that I need to take care of. I thought that I might as well get them out of the way during lunch.
Tsubaki: Well, we were also thinking about having inch here… are we going to be in your way?
Jin: Oh, not at all.. I'm almost done so you need not worry yourself. Besides I was just about eat myself, and ---
Carl: Oh, I just wanted to let you know that I've finished what you asked me to do.
Jin: Well done, Carl. Why don't we stop for now and eat lunch.
Carl: Yes. Huh? Oh, everyone's here, too?
Tsubaki: What a coincidence. Well, why don't we all eat together?
Tsubaki: Oh my goodness… This bread… It's so delicious!
Carl: Its color is rather…how do I say this…interesting 8,|a;
Makoto: Isn't it?! You have a good eye for what is awe-inspiring cuisine! This pastry can only be had once a year, n this most special of days! Its existence has become almost legendary.
Carl: I…I see…That's…amazing…
Makoto: Hey Carl. Do you want to try some? Here, take as much as you want!!
Carl: Ah, eh? Ah---
Noel: Ah…. Makoto, you don't have to force-feed him…!
Carl: Mmmm…ahhhh… Hey! This is actually pretty good.
Makoto: Was I right or was I right?
Jin: You guys, you might want to tone it down a little over there. Please keep in mind this IS the student council room.
Makoto: Sooorrry!!
Tsubaki: Oh, don't be like that… Would you like a bite, Jin?
Jin: OK, fine… just one bite. …Oh? This is… not bad. Thank you, Tsubaki…. hm?
Tsubaki: Is something the matter?
Jin: You've got some sauce on your cheek… That's not like you at all.
Tsubaki: Eh…? Oh… yes… Th-thank you very much?
Noel: hehehee.
Jin: Hm? *sigh* What's with the silly grin?
Noel: Oh, no no it's nothing…! Ahahahahaha….
(Fond memories. The conversations with my friends. But I know none of this is real. I need to open my eyes soon…I need to wake up from this. This illusion has got to end.)
---- [/END FLASHBACK]

Jubei: You awake, kid?
Noel: Eh…? I …? Fueeeeh? Kyah! Owwwww… Who, who are you? A little kitty?
{Noel wakes up to Jubei hanging out over her. Realizes he's one of the six heroes AND freaks. Jubei thinks he reaction is funny. "Mr. Jubei." Tells him what happened.}

Noel: ….And that's what happened.
Jubei: I see well I reckon I understand what's going on here.
Noel: *sigh*
Jubei: Ain't no danger to ya here, so rest up all ya want. Hell ya even got me around to keep ya safe. How ya holding up so far? Ya hungry?
Noel: H-hungry? Um… not really.
Jubei: Ain't not fooling the stomach, kid. You just sit tight, I'll whip something' up for ya.
Noel: ….Uhh…Im sorry. Please, let me help!
Jubei: Huh? …Uh, no that's all right. Ya need your rest.
Noel: …OK…
Noel: Thank you very much… It was very delicious.
Jubei: Don't mention it. I been traveling around for a few years now. Cookin's all about experience.
Jubei: …Noel. You think you can go meet Jin Kisaragi?
Noel: Eh!? Major…Kisaragi…? Why?
Jubei: Well…truth is kid, I'm afraid your the only person who can save that fella.
Noel: Save? Save him from what?
Jubei: Well, shoot…I guess if I had to put it into words…his own fate.
Noel: His fate…?
{she's confused}
Jubei: Oh, don't you worry your pretty little head about that. It don't mean nothing.
Noel: Uh-huh…. Is there any particular way… I'm supposed to go about this task?
Jubei: No, I don't reckon so. It's all just a game of chance probability now.
Noel: …I see. I promise I'll do whatever I can, and…
Jubei: You sure about that, kid? I don't reckon ya rightly understand what I'm asking' of ya. You do this, and your gonna get a whole more violence and cruelty than you've ever seen.
Just think on it a bit, all right? I ain't gonna force ya into nothing. You wanna run away, I can help ya do that too.
…Shoot I didn't mean to say it like that. If ya wanna take the other path, I mean.
Noel: OK… uh, Mr Jubei?
Jubei: What is it?
Noel: Do you know Major Kisaragi well?
Jubei: ….Yeah, I guess you could say I did. But that was a real long time ago…I reckon he don't even remember me.
Noel: When he was really little…
Jubei: …yeah, back when he still needed somebody to wipe his ass for him.
Noel: Really?
Noel: (Major Kisaragi…Major Kisaragi… Oh yeah, that's right… He seemed to hate me even back at the academy. Did I ever do anything to him to make him hate me so much…?)
(Do I really need to put myself in that much danger to save Jin? If it were Tsubaki or Makoto, I wouldn't give it a second thought, but … Hehehehe…. Tsubaki really looked like she was enjoying herself back then…)
(The expression on her face when Jin wiped the sauce off her cheek…hehe…Ah, I see…I understand now. So I do have a reason to put myself in harm's way… Right….)
Noel: Mr. Jubei.
Jubei: Make yer decision.
Noel: Yes. I'll go … to where … errr… Major Kisaragi is.
Jubei: You sure ya-- Heh. Nevermind. Reckon I already know the answer to that. All I gotta do is take a look in your eyes.
Noel: Yes… Although I don't if I will succeed… But I feel like I need to do it regardless.
Jubei: Ya mind if I ask why?
Noel: For… a friend of mine.
Jubei: I see… Well, noel, I figure it's time we talked about Mr. Kisaragi. He was in the hospital for a bit, but he got fed up and escaped. Leastways, that what I heard.
Noel: He escaped?! Where is he now?
Jubei: Don't rightly know, but I reckon if ya go after Ragna, you'll find Jin sooner rather than later. That fella's really got it in for Ragna.

Noel: …Ragna the Bloodedge…? I understand.
Jubei: Ya gotta prmise me something', Noel…
Noel: Yes?
Jubei: Whatever you decide your gonna do, make sure ya see it through to the end. I know I said it already, but I gotta make sure ya get it into that head of yours: Yer the only person that can save Jin. What you got nobody else has.
Noel: Whatever might happen, I promise to see it through.
Jubei: That's why I like to hear. …Thanks.
Noel: Mr. Jubei, thank you very munch. I'll be going now. I hope … I can see you again in the future.
Jubei: Reckon I'd like that. Be careful now, kid.
Jubei: Ya really sure this was the right thing to do, Rachel?
Rachel: Yes… That child must grow stronger. Much stronger…
---
Noel: Well, I made it to orient Towen… Now what?
There are a lot of people wandering about, so I guess I"ll just start by asking around… Yeah, that should work…
Excuse me, I'm looking for this person… Oh, you don't know…? OK, thank you for your cooperation.
Ah, e-excuse me.. .I'm looking for… Oh, OK…
{no one knows ragna chan}
Noel: Oh this person looks like they might know something. Ex-
Kyah! I'm sorry…Oww…
Tager: Oh, excuse me. I should be the one apologizing. Are you all-- Wait, you're Noel Vermillion!
Noel: Eh…? You're the red devil1 What are you doing here?
Tager: I 'm here on a mission… NO, perhaps I should say I WAS here on a mission.
Noel: What do you mean by "was"?
Tager: YOU are my mission, MIss Vermillion
Noel: I… Wha-- I'm terribly sorry, but I have no business with you. Im actually in quite a hurry, so if you'll excuse me.
Tager: I'm sorry but I cannot simply let you walk away. I have my own job to do. I'm sure you understand. You… really haven't heard anything?
Noel: What are you talking about? …If you do not let me pass, then I will have no choice but to use force.
Tager: I would prefer to avoid unnecessary conflict but you leave me with no choice.

FIGHT --> WIN
{Noel books it out of there.}
Tager: Sorry, Kokonoe. I've lost the target.
???: …
{Noel wanders around confused in her thoughts.}

{FLASHBACK}--
Tsubaki: OK, do you understand so far?
Makoto: Yeah we understand perfectly, oh knowledgeable teacher.
Tsu: Please Makoto, at least TRY and take this seriously. How about you, Noel?
Noel: Y-Yeah… I think I get it.
Tsu: All right then. Next up we have grimoires… Let's see if you now a grimoire is… Noel?
Noel: E-Eh!? M-Me!? …Ummm… I think they were… some type of weapon created during the dark war.
Tsubaki: Well, I suppose that's not really incorrect, but there's a lot more to it than that. You see, during the Dark War, one o the six heroes was a true mage. She invented a simplified form of sorcery, which we now know as ars magus. You need a grimoire in order to be able to use ars magus.
Mkaoto: Hmm… I see… And if would be really dangerous if everyone was walking around with them, so that's why the NOL has to manage them all, right?
Tsubuki: Yes, that was why the Librarium was first created. Even though you and I might write off all kinds of ars magus as "dangerous" and leave it at that, the truth is there are many different "ranks" of ars magus: some safe, some dangerous. There are some called "Sealed Weapons" that are dangerous to even hold.
There is also another, special, class of ars armadas that doesn't fit into any other category: the causality weapons know as Nox Nyctores.
Noel: N-Nox Nyctores!?
Tsubaki: Hm? Is something wrong, Noel?
Noel: U-Um, it's nothing.. .just… something just crossed my mind…
Originally the grimoires were created to
{she's thinking about Bolverk}
Noel: (After I was taken in by House Vermillion, I was attacked by a monster in the forest I always played in. And suddenly, those guns appear, the Bolverk…)
Back then, I didn't bother to question it, but now that I think about it, why was I…?
Tsubaki: And that's how it works… Are you istening, Noel?
Noel: Eh?! I'm sorry… (there's no way I can mention something like this to them…) I was just dee in thought about everything I've just learned…?
Tsubaki: Really? Well, that's good to hear. Makoto, you could learn something from Noel.
Makoto: Whatever.
Tsubaki: At any rate, there are supposed to be ten Nox Nyctores class weapons, but all of them are said to have been lost. Science has begun to question whether or not they even existed in the first place.
Makoto: So they're pretty much "urbane emends" at this point, right?
Tsubaki: Yes, I suppose that's one way to put it.
Makoto: Hmm…. II wonder if they're super-powerful. Like … Just holding the weapon could destroy a mountain or raze a city.
Tsubaki: Well, I don't know about that. After all, no one has ever seen one. Although, it would be interesting a city vaporized in the blink of an eye…
Makoto: Uh, no, Tsubaki… That wouldn't be "interesting"; it'd be a catastrophe of epic proportions.
{blah blah then Jin comes in asking for Tsubaki for a sec.
lol start talking like derps and about Tsubaki and Jin and cute couple they make.}
[/END FLASHBACK]

Noel: That's right… I shouldn't be worried about trying to figure out the meanings behind the "eye" or the Nox Nyctores or any of that.
….Huh? What was I just thinking about…?

:(

{suddenly confronted}
???: Lieutenant Noel Vermilion, I presume.
Noel: …! That uniform…!
???: I am part of Zero Squadron---one of the NOL's Wings of Justice
Noel: Th-The ZERO Squadron!? What are… you…doing here….?
???: Surely you have seen the orders that direct you to return to base?
Noel: Y-yes.
???: …I am willing to overlook your pervious disobedience if you fulfill those orders immediately, Ministerial Secretary Lieutenant Noel Vermillion, Fourth Thaumaturgist Squadron.
Noel: U-Um, actually…I…
???: …
Noel: I can't return… not until I locate Major Kisaragi.
Tsubaki: ….Noel.
Noel: …No. Tsubaki? Is that really you, Tsubaki?
Tsubaki: Yes, Noel. It's me. I'll…I'll find Jin for you, so please, Noel…. so please obey your orders and return to base. Please.
Noel: I'm sorry, Tsubaki. But I need to take to him myself.
Tsubaki: Please Noel, you have to listen to me… Otherwise, I…I have to…
Noel: Tsubaki…?
Tsubaki: I'll have to kill you
Noel: Tsubaki… No, you can't be serious!
Tsubaki: I would never lie about something like this.
Noel: It doesn't matter. I'm sorry I made a promise. that no matter what happened. I can't return just yet. Right now, Major Kisragi is in a very dangerous…state….. Please, let me go, Tsubaki.
Tsubaki: Noel, you leave me no choice.
This is you final warning. I have inherited your responsibilities in regard to the pursuer of Major Jin Kisragi. Lieytenant Noel Vermillion, you must obey your orders and return to headquarters immediately.
Should you choose to disobey this direct order, I am bound by the will of the Imperator to judge and punish you as a traitor to the Novis Orbis Librarium.
Noel: Tsubaki…. Wait…Tsubaki…!
Tsubaki: Resist, and your punishment shall be death!!

{Tsubaki chan is so cute idek. You have to win the fight against her but after that:}

Tsubaki: …Wait! before you go…can I … Can I see your face, Noel? Just one more time…
Noel: Eh!? U-Uh…sure…Of course, but…
Tsubaki: Thank you…
[Tsubaki touches Noel's face]
{Noel then sees Tsubaki's memories}
(…! Th--That was...! The same time as Carl… Tsubaki's memories!? Captain Hazama? Memories… An assassination!? No… Tsubaki…)
(The captain ordered Major Kisaragi and me to be killed? There's no way the intel department couldn't know that we were friends… And yet they… They gave you this order knowing you had to accept it….)
Tsubaki: Noel…?
Noel: Ah, s-sorry…! I was, um…spacing out.
Tsubaki: And to think that we were fighting just a few minutes ago… How strange. I suppose there are things about you that never change.

Noel: …You think…so? Anyway what's gotten into you? wanting to to see my face all of a sudden.
Tsubaki: No, it's nothing. I'm fine. Thank you Noel.
Noel: Yeah…I'm sorry, Tsubaki…I'm leaving now.
Tsubaki: Good-bye…
{Noel runs off}
Tsubaki: I'm OK… I can still see. I can…I can still use it.

{Noel changes her mind (about going after Jin and goes off after Hazama}
Noel: I need to stop him before Major Kisaragi…. Tsubaki is…
Noel: He's…. Captain Hazama is probably waiting on the top floor. It's just a hunch… no, it's more than that. I almost feel like I KNOW he's there.

(Hazama: Ahahahaha! You saw me… No, let's say you OBSERVED me!) << this is like, him talking to her in her head, basically.

Noel: I will never forgive you! EVER!
----

Noel: Captain Hazama!
Hazama: Oh? Ah, Lieutenant Vermillion. You're the first person to show up! Congratulations.
Noel: I will never forgive you! Not ever!
Hazama: My goodness, what's this? You certainly look awfully scary. Like you're ready to kill someone.
Noel: What did you do to Tsubaki?
Hazama: Ah, so you observed that, huh? Yes… yes, you have! Has anyone ever told you that you have THE most stunning eyes?
Noel: I asked you what you did to Tsubaki.
Hazama: Aaaah, right… Uh, what did you say her name was again? Tsubaki , right? I think I vaguely remember her… You'll have to forgive me. I mean, would you expect a carpenter to remember every tool he's ever used?
Noel: Captain Hazama…. no…Yuuki Terumi! I will never forgive you! I will make you pay for what you've done!
Hazama: Hahahaha! So, you can see me, can you? Oh my! Wonderful! Oh, this is simply delightful! And all this you've got for me… delicious! I like it --No, I LOVE IT! I guess that First Lieutenant Garbage turned out to be useful after all! Remind me to recommend her for a posthumous promotion!
Noel: Shut up!
Hazama: Yes, yes… YOu've got it! Strike me down with all of your hatred! YOu've got it! Let's see some more! I believe in you!
Noel: Hate…! HAtred Macli! Despise! …Bolverk!
Hazama: Yikes! Well, aren't you are a scary little girl! Eh heh… Perfect… HOw about we take you out for a little test run.
Noel: Terumi! I'm going to obliterate you!

--- WIN.---
Hazama: Oh-HO! Interesting… I guess you've improve a little bit, haven't you Noel?
Noel: I heard enough from you! How dare you give Tsubaki such an order…! What exactly are you trying to do?!
Hazama: What am I trying to do? You'd really like to know, would you? Heh heh… Well you stepped over the corpse of First Lieutenant Garbage to get this far, so I'm guessing you won't go back without at least one answer, will you.
Noel: Terumi…!
Hazama: Why the hell not? I'll show you what despair looks like! Make sure you take a goooood long look with those beautiful eyes of yours. This'll be on the test!
Noel: Wh-What's going on…?! Just like with Carl and Tsubaki…!
B-But… these feelings…I don't know why, but I can't stop trembling…
Huh…! Wh-What's that?!
???: Help…
Noel: This…is ….?
Noel: Eh…? N-No….!
???: Somebody…! No…!
Noel: Stop… stop this…
Somebody…Anybody…Please…help!
NOOOOOO!!!!

Hazama: Hey there, kid. Welcome back.
Noel: …Ah. …Ah.
Hazama: Well, this is no good…. I guess spending a hundred years staring at that thing'll mess you up good, huh? My congratulations.

Noel: Why…?
Hazama: Oh, you're really gonna ask that? Seriously? Come ON! I thought that was obvious! I'm here to kill everyone!
Noel: …Why?
Hazama: Here, why don't you try and remember… Remember all the bad things those mean humans did to you.
Noel: …Why?
Hazama: Well, that one's easy! Because you're all creatures that are made to be loathed. hated! Despised.
Noel: …ah…
Hazama: You did see it, right? The real world --- the real story?! Can't you hear it? All those hideously little filth-covered monsters, crying! You've got feel it. … Every single soul on this planet wants. You. Dead.
This world… This world's supposed to be dead. Dead! But someone we managed to screw with it so much that it's gotten stuck and not it just repeats itself, again and again and again and again
Noel: But… why…?
Hazama: You really wanna know? Fine.
Once upon a time, mankind found the first gate. Being stupid humans, they decide they wanted to know what was on the other side, so they created what they called BOundary Interface Prime Field Devices. See, humans are such pussies that they can't survive n the other side, and their machines are just as pathetic.. Of course, they failed. Over and over and overall, somehow, one of these test subjects made it aaaaalll the way to the deepest part of the Boundary…. The heart of it, I guess you could say. The Azure. And when it did that… well. Let's just say shit got real.
This thing---they call 'em "prime fields" when they're lazy--developed emotion. One of these puppets built for but observation and research somehow grew a soul. 'Course, all the scientists thought they were goddamn geniuses and ensues making some kind of incredible breakthrough. I mean, they were, but not the one they thought. See, when it grew a soul, this prime field also developed the power of the Eye. And these scientists, they had no idea just what that meant.
I mean think about it! The Eye could observe what it wanted, and whatever it observed was real! See? Eh heh heh. Seee…
Anyway, before long, the scientists figured this out and being the small shortsighted little maggots that they were, they tried to destroy it. That didn't work so well, so they decided to seal it back into the boundary. they threw it all the way to the bottom, down in the darkness, where was nothing.
But hey! You know this isn't the end! Anybody does! I mean, once humans got a taste of that power, the kind of power only a GOD should have… Well.
The idiots decided it would be a good idea if they could really tap into the power of the Azure. Might give them a leg up on the battlefield, you know? So they built more prime field devices. But you see, these ones weren't just reckon tools anymore. Oooooh no! These were balls-out weapons of mass destruction ! The moment one of these babies popped outta the cauldron, the unmans would just seal away its emotion, turning it into a slave. A puppet.
Noel: ….
Hazama: Still paying attention? Looks kind empty in there, to be honest. Anyway, this is where it gets interesting. W ell…hmm. I dunno. Maybe if you find tragedies interesting? The things were treated like tools --- well, no "weapons" is better. Like you know a hand grenade or a bomb or something.
Noel: …Just…stop…it…
Hazama: Man, you know I'm actually getting tired of talking. Guess that's what happens when you make your body do stuff it's not used to, huh? So, you wanna hear more? There's a lot more, you know. You wanna hear it? Do ya?
Noel: No… no more.. please…stop!
Hazama: Yes please, Mr. Hazama? Well if you ask so nicely, of course I'll tell you! You see, the tools-these puppets-I've been telling you about, they're your REAL brothers and sisters! Hahaha… Noel--aw, what am I saying? That's not your real name. So, "Noel," what does all of that make YOU?
Noel: Stop it…
(A black light begins to shine forth from Bolverk)
Hazama: Ahahaha! So you've been in denial this WHOLE TIME?! Well, yeah of course. I guess you would be. I mean, anybody else in your situation would do the same, right? Still, this is something you're gonna have to live with, you know? YOu gotta learn to accept it. You gotta learn to be you!
Noel: Stop it…. stop stop STOP!
Hazama: You're…
Noel: Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
Hazama: You aren't a person! You were BUILT! You're just a tool! A puppet! A joke! Who the hell do you think you're fooling with your little act?! Well, yourself maybe, but hell. Can't even do that, now! You're a puppet, girl! Just like that sad sack of crap we all took turns pounding on a while back!
{noel goes batshit and bolverk goes berserk)
Hazama: And DONE, Damn am I good. Say goodbye to your limiters, Noel.
One last thing, about your toys?
They were limiters designed to keep your emotions from going batshit insane.
Well, that doesn't matter, now that your limiters are gone. (teehee).

END (desperation)

Hazama: Well shoot… I was really expecting a little more, you know? Way to disappoint, you little bitch.
Noel: ugh… Teru…mi…!
Hazama: Ah well, it's not like it matters! I've still got all sorts of things I can do with you. Don't you worry you pretty little head. I'll give you lots and lots of time to nourish that hate for me, all right? AHahahahaahahaha… HAHAHAHAHAHA.
