10 10 301 Not only are Lucia's preemptive strikes easily countered by the humanoid Hetero-Creature next to Gabriel, but she is also pushed back several feet away.
11 11 301 Lucia corrects her stance as she lands. Just this brief encounter has alerted her of how dangerous this Hetero-Creature is—even more so than Gabriel.

15 15 301 1 Gabriel ...Creation? 1
16 16 301 Gabriel No. They are evolved from the will of the Punishing Virus. I am merely a facilitator. 1

20 20 301 1 Gabriel What happened to Miss Luna was not intentional. 1
21 21 301 Gabriel Since the moment we discovered life in the Hetero-Core, I have come to the understanding that the Ascension-Network was aware of my wish, and it was showing me a new path to that destination. 1
22 22 301 Gabriel I have since been laying the foundation of my plan. I was expecting approval from Miss Luna, who should have joined me in carrying out the mission from the Ascension-Network. 1
23 23 301 Gabriel ...But she disappointed me. She is no longer the perfect agent who abides by her duty. Miss Luna is lost because of Alpha—and you. 1
24 24 201 1 500166
25 25 301 1 Lucia We... are the reason she's lost? 1
26 26 201 1 500101
27 27 301 1 Gabriel Ever since Alpha's arrival, as well as her encounters with you, Miss Luna has strayed further and further from the path of an agent. She has become... sentimental. 1
28 28 301 Gabriel Given their bond, I was going to lure Alpha with Miss Luna, turning them both as nourishment for the Polyphage. And yet Alpha never showed. 1
29 29 301 Gabriel Did she realize what I was planning, and therefore ran away? Is that how strong a "familial bond" is? 1
30 30 301 Gabriel Or perhaps she realized the so-called "sentiments" are simply illusions the human minds create for themselves. 1
31 31 301 Gabriel Those of us who are forged in metal should have abandoned such trivial matters long ago. 1
32 32 302 You have never even bothered to understand— 33
33 33 302 —what these "sentiments" are, have you? 34
34 34 301 Gabriel ...Enough talking. 1

37 37 301 RImgBg1Shake The Polyphage's roar arrives from afar. The cliffs of this underground cavern shake from the reverberation of its cry, shattering countless pieces of rocks along its walls, and they fall into the Red Tide.
38 38 301 Gabriel looks up as if he is enjoying what is unraveling.

40 40 301 1 Gabriel Miss Luna is indeed the most important piece of the puzzle... Even in her fall from grace, she is still a powerful agent. 1
41 41 301 Gabriel Once the Polyphage has fully fused with her, it will emerge from here and present to the world its significance. The other Ascendants will see the virtue of my path, and they will sacrifice for our kind... 1
42 42 301 Gabriel After that, I will take care of our last threat... Alpha will become quite troublesome if she is not dealt with swiftly. 1
43 43 301 Gabriel I pity you. You could have stood at the forefront of a brand new world if you could only see the truth. 1
44 44 301 Gabriel Alas, you shall become offering before the end of mankind. Let the Polyphage devour you, and maybe your death would mean something. 1
45 45 301 Gabriel raises his hand, and an infinite amount of Hetero-Creatures rise from the Red Tide and surround you all.
46 46 301 Gabriel Protect Miss Luna. Keep them away. 1

48 48 301 The ashen Hetero-Creature spreads its wings and bows to Gabriel before flying to the top of the Polyphage.

52 52 301 The swarming monsters gather and block your line of sight. Gabriel pridefully heads toward the Core Area.
53 53 301 RImgBg1Shake In the distance, the Polyphage roars once again, its voice shaking the earth you stand on.
