Mephistopheles
Tick Tock, Bang!
Mephistopheles:
–Now then, now then.
I have a hypothesis for you, my Master.
Mephistopheles:
I know this is sudden.
Mephistopheles:
But this world is ruled by an oppressor.
Yes, a bad person. A very bad person!
Mephistopheles:
And so I've taken it upon myself to fix this.
By blowing things up!
Mephistopheles:
And I want your help, you see.
Mephistopheles:
Stalk the streets of London at night with me,
and we'll set bombs!
Mephistopheles:
Huge, amazing explosions! Dreadnought-class disaster!
Come, let us travel to London!
Mephistopheles:
Oh, Mash? Would you like to come with us?
You're more than welcome.
Mephistopheles:
If you can? If you've nothing better to do?
If you want to spoil the fun?
Mash:
I'll go with you no matter what, Master.
Being alone with him seems like suicide.
Mephistopheles:
Hehe, hehehehehe! Yes, of course!
You must be ready for anything!
Mephistopheles:
And off we go, everyone!
Mash:
...He dragged us off so quickly I didn't have time to object.
Mash:
I guess we've got no choice. I can't contact the Doctor, so we'll just have to follow him.
Fou:
Fou!
Mephistopheles:
Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!
We start with golems, it seems!
Mephistopheles:
This must be a test of our abilities.
Come, Master.
Mephistopheles:
Let's tear them apart!
--BATTLE--:
Mephistopheles:
Heheh, too easy! Too easy!
Weaker than the weakest of insects.
Mash:
Golems... So our opponent is a mage, is that right, Mephistopheles?
Mephistopheles:
...Indeed!
Well, basically.
Mash:
...Basically...?
Mephistopheles:
Now, now, don't worry about it! Let's go!
Let's fight!
Mephistopheles:
Now we have to set up the bombs.
Beep, beep, beep!
Mephistopheles:
Begin–the countdown!
Mephistopheles:
And look, more enemies!
Oh, how boring, just so boring.
Mephistopheles:
Ye who possess no Command Spells, no arrogance, no pride, and no greed. My past Master!
Mephistopheles:
As your Servant, I shall finish you off without any hesitation!
--BATTLE--:
Mephistopheles:
And now, time for our next bomb.
Let's go, Master.
Mash:
...Um, Master.
Something...seems strange...
Mash:
No, sorry.
Either way, it's clear that the enemy is trying to kill us.
Mash:
For now, let's cooperate with Mephistopheles.
Mephistopheles:
Hehehehehe.
The next bomb goes here.
Mephistopheles:
And look, the enemy arrives!
Just what you'd expect, right?
Mephistopheles:
Another homunculus?
That Alchemist never changes, does he?
Mephistopheles:
Master, let us kill them!
For justice! Hyahahaha!
Mash:
Alchemist?
--BATTLE--:
Mephistopheles:
Two more bomb sites left to go. This right arm here is incredibly important to him, isn't it?
Mephistopheles:
Now, then, shall I finish him off?
Setting the bomb!
Mephistopheles:
And now here comes the enemy!
--BATTLE--:
Mash:
...Whew!
Mephistopheles, this is the last one, right?
Mash:
...You can tell us now.
The enemy was your former Master–
Mephistopheles:
Indeed! Indeed!
Dr. Georg Faust!
Mephistopheles:
He forged me, he raised me, he feared me!
And these bombs are a present for him.
Mephistopheles:
So he can live and die with a smile on his face.
Now, time for the last battle!
???:
–So you're here, Mephistopheles.
Mephistopheles:
Of course I am, Faust!
Mephistopheles:
Oh, oh! What a pathetic joke you are!
How comical and beautiful!
Mephistopheles:
You're so ugly now I can't bear it!
Faust:
Shut up, you failure of a project.
It was foolish of me to grant you self-awareness.
Faust:
And now you've even betrayed your master–!
Mephistopheles:
How could I not, when you're so boring?
Faust:
You bastard...
Mephistopheles:
Yes, it's because you're boring!
You were such an ordinary mage!
Mephistopheles:
You sacrificed others as if it was ordinary and yet reaped no results at all!
Mephistopheles:
You pretended to chase distant, unseen dreams and yet wasted your time on your ordinary life!
Mephistopheles:
How boring!
What a boring mage you are!
Mephistopheles:
So why should I be blamed for taking a boring, average mage and making him famous throughout history?
Mephistopheles:
Poor little Mephistopheles just doesn't understand.
Faust:
You... I'll kill you!
I'll kill you, Mephistopheles!
Mephistopheles:
Come on and try it.
Now, my entertaining Master!
Mephistopheles:
This is the last battle!
Shove that bomb up his butt!
--BATTLE--:
Faust:
Gahh... Aggh!
...You...traitor!
Mephistopheles:
Oh no no. I granted your wish to never be forgotten, did I not?
Mephistopheles:
Without me, would Goethe ever have written Faust?
Mephistopheles:
And without Faust, no one would have ever heard of you!
Mephistopheles:
Hehehehehe! If you want someone to blame, blame Goethe! ..Bwah, ahahahahahaha!
Faust:
Damn you! Damn you! My curse upon you!
My curse upon you, Mephistopheles!
Mephistopheles:
You're such a fool. A curse?
Curses are like power-ups for me.
Mephistopheles:
Now then. The bomb is set.
And it's time to flip the switch.
Mephistopheles:
–My thanks for playing along with that entertainment.
Master, as long as you entertain me–
Mephistopheles:
I will never betray you.
Probably... Ahahahaha!
--SECTION BREAK--:
Fou:
Fou!?
Mash:
Good morning, Master. What's wrong?
You're soaked with sweat.
Mash:
Did you have a bad dream?
Fujimaru 1:
It's nothing.
Fujimaru 2:
...
Mash:
...?
What do you think happened, Fou?
Fou:
Fou...?
