(You take on the personalities of Shadecleaver)

*As you sharpen your sword, you turn towards Eternatus the Mage. He seems to be practicing some new spells.*

Eternatus: “Max Fire!”

*A colossal hole with fire appears in front of Eternatus.*

Eternatus: “If that works then maybe this works…Max Lightning!”

*Millions of lightning bolts crash down in front of Eternatus. As much as you want to see what new kinds of spells he can learn, you turn towards Xerneas the Cleric. Looks like she’s busy.*

Xerneas: “Luminacalm!”

*Several orbs of light orbit around Xerneas. You’d like to see what other kinds of Lumina-skills she’s capable of using, but you turn towards Yuri the Thief. She’s counting the MP candies she’s stolen from the monsters on the way to Neksdor.*

Yuri: “24…25…26…27…28…”

*You turn towards Monika the Pop Star. What on earth is she singing?*

Monika: “♪ Target locked on your mind, thought I would be kind? After the terror I’ve caused, you’ll be left with errors! The system that’s constantly yearning for new flesh! ♪”

*Clearly frustrated at the music, you turn towards Natsuki the Cook. Looks like she’s making something!*

Natsuki: “Milk…check. Butter…check. Egg…check.”

*Finally, you turn towards Sayori the Vampire. She’s probably learning a new skill.*

Sayori: “Hmm…let’s se. Poison Mist. Costs 10 MP. Emit a noxious cloud of poison that damages all enemies. I guess I could get used to this skill!”

*You turn back towards Monika. She’s still singing?*

Monika: “♪ I learn from all my mistakes, even at the highest stakes. There is nothing you can do that can stop me now! So why don’t we LET THIS GAME OF CHESS BEGIN…? ♪”

Natsuki: “Monika, can you turn that down?! I’m trying to make a cake here!”

Monika: “Sorry! Couldn’t hear you over the sound of Fatality ringing in my ear! ♪ You’re nothing but a hurdle to me. It’s always so funny when weaklings don’t try to flee! ♪”

Natsuki: “Oh, for God’s sake.”

*Natsuki goes back to cooking.*

Monika: “♪ Made my choice - last thing heard will be my voice. Listen to the crowd rejoice one last time! Everyone left behind within the storm. Nothing will matter once I take my own form! Tick-tock clock in my internal block…hear them scream once they lose their steam…dancing all around, our great inbound…FEAST ONTO THE CODE’S CORE. Losing shape, is that what you wanted? Watch as your whole life gets haunted! I’ve made myself quite clear already - hear your heart get UNSTEADY! You are done for, just like the rest who wanted war! Childhood glee is gone, now prepare for malware’s dawn! Zero to a million, did I ever ask for your opinion? Reboot, install all that’s NEEDED! Have you ever wondered what perfect beings looks like? Once you’re subjected to ME, you’ll finally SEE. Conjured from the pits of hell, taken a hedgehog’s shell, FAILURE ISN’T AN OPTION TO THIS CONCOCTION! ♪”
