A lot has happened in Budapest, including wars. Fiona and Sophie experienced these wars as well. The wars changed them. Sophie became more talkative and began to understand people better, while Fiona was pushed into a traumatized state because of them. Marcus suffered because of them too.
(Dong...Dong)
(A few years ago)
Marcus: "Hahhhh…"
Fiona: "Hmm…."
Sophie: "I wonder what is going to happen."
Marcus: "Hopefully peace."
Fiona: "...As long as nobles exist...there will always be wars."
Sophie: "Hmm?.. What is wrong with you?…You were always shy."
Fiona: "Yes...wars change people…."
Sophie: "Hmmm."
In front of them...there were destroyed buildings...desperation and destruction...This is war…"
(Back to the present time).
Sophie: "Alright...the military should be in sight soon...they are located between the fields and the city."
Fiona: "Hmm?..Near a farm?"
Sophie: "Yep.."
Fiona: "I see...Hmmm….I wonder what kind of animals they have on farms."
Sophie: "Have you never been to one?"
Fiona: "Not really. Only small ones."
Sophie: "I see."
Marcus: "Hmmm."
John Titor: "Hahh... as for the signal...I am afraid it could be something dangerous."
Sophie: "What?"
John Titor: "No idea...a monster?…...Or one of the creatures from Oz?.."
Marcus: "Ugh."
Fiona: "Yes...that...would indeed not be a good thing...That is why they sent the military first…"
Marcus: "Don't you think we should contact them soon?"
John Titor: "Well, Sherlock, the reason I just mentioned that possibility is because, damn it, nobody is answering."
John was annoyed because of the signal john and marcus are good Friends actully so it is normal for Marcus that John talks like that sometimes
Sophie: "Ugh."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Marcus: "They could be on a mission."
John Titor: "I thought that too...but this is already the third time within eight hours...since this evening. You saw that I was still on the radio."
Sophie: "Ugh."
Fiona: "If that is true… then this is really not good…..not at all…..I think we should contact Dark Umbrella...don't you think?"
John Titor: "I had the same thought. I called them...The problem is that Minerv said it could take some time, since the other squad is in Dehl, which is already...very far away from Budapesz…"
This will make sure it's too late for the mission to contact other squad wish means they are on their own, and military not answering means a brutal message
Fiona: "Hmm."
Sophie: "Hmm...That means…"
Marcus: "We are completely in an area without military support….That worries me... what do you think?"
Fiona: "Hmmm….Hmm.."
Marcus: "Fiona, you are the one who is good at strategy...what do you think?"
Fiona: "Not everyone from us...is going to go there."
Marcus: "Groups, or what do you mean?"
Fiona: "No, no... too dangerous, too dangerous...Marcus...let's both go...Unlike the others, we have Guardian Spirit vessels. Bob can help me, and you are….well...Marcus."
Marcus: "Sure. Good idea."
Sophie: "And what if you are in danger?"
Something that is not exactly rare in in ths job...
Fiona Sophie...I don't want it to become dangerous for the others...I don't want to see another massacre and children crying...I really want to do my best this time...Budapesz"
This place brings back all my trauma...If there is something she can do this time...then she will do her best...For Dark Umbrella and for all of you…"
Marcus: "Alright. I'm coming too, Sophie."
John: "What a sad moment, huh?"
Sophie: "Take him with you...He can gladly die."
John: "Hey!...Don't forget who makes your pills….and don't forget who the scientist here is...I'm crazy..but that is what makes me special, my love."
Sophie: "Dude, okay, that was a joke. Give me a whole lecture now."
The car stopped.
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Marcus: "Hmm?"
John Titor: "I have to come too. I need to follow the signal."
Fiona: "Okay."
Marcus: "Okay..both of you stay close to me..Sophie...stay a little behind, okay...If something happens...we will tell you, okay."
They got out. The car drove back a little, just enough so it would not be in danger.
Fiona: "Hahhh.."
Sophie: "Hmmm..Cool."
Fiona: "..Yeah...wait..huh?…What are you doing here?"
Marcus: "(Sweating)."
John: "This....Is this really happening?"
Sophie: "I'm a Crow...I have to do this too..Fiona...okay?"
Fiona: "Mmm…"
Marcus: "You can forget it. There are already two of us."
Fiona: "Hahh...Let's just respect Sophie's decision."
Marcus: "Hahh...My goodness, you two with your respect and smiling talk...Fine, stay behind me."
They continued walking.
Fiona: "Ugh."
Marcus: "...For heaven's sake."
Sophie: "Huh!"
John: "Ughh."
Several bodies were lying on the ground.
Sophie: "What happened here?"
Marcus: "Come on...see if there are any survivors."
Fiona: "Yes...Sophie, come with me."
Marcus: "I'm going there. John, come with me."
They looked at the bodies.
Marcus: "Ughh…...Forget it."
John: "Ugh."
Their bodies had been severely mutilated.
Marcus: "Damn…..if I could just catch whoever did this…"
Sophie: "Marcus...come here for a moment."
Fiona: "We have a survivor here!"
John: "Ugh."
Marcus: "Quick!"
They ran toward them.
Fiona: "Hang in there."
Sophie: "Drink some water."
Soldier: "Urk...(Cough)...Run..away…...Run…..Haahhhhhhh….away......Please....."
Marcus: "What did you see?"
Soldier: "A..figure….Long black ….hair...and ….wings...Wings that were pitch black….."
Sophie: "Ugh."
Soldier: "Like an owl..or a dragon..I don't know."
Fiona: "Hmmm."
Sophie: "Ughh…."
John: "The signal... guys..the signal."
Sophie: "Huh.."
Soldier: "(Cough).."
He closed his eyes.
Sophie: "No."
Fiona: "Hahhh."
Marcus: "Damn it, John... what signal.."
(Beep...beep...beep)
John: "I hear something…"
(Beeeeep)
And then a voice.
John: "Hmm..a female voice.."
It was a voice that Sophie and Fiona recognized.
Sophie: "She is here."
Fiona: "Zantanel."
Sophie: "Hahh."
John: "Ugh... now."
(Beep)
Zantanel: "Crime...and punishment!…...You brought this punishment upon yourselves…..because you treated me..like a monster….I...will.....awaken….Loki….for you...Have fun."
Sophie: "Huh!"
Fiona: "Loki!!!"
Marcus: "Ughh."
Suddenly, the clouds turned purple.
(Crash!)
Something fell to the ground.
Loki: ".....ghhhhhhhh...…."
It was...Loki...He appeared exactly as described….Long black hair and a horn like a moose..and wings like an owl….
(Splat!)
He fell...dead to the ground.
Sophie: "What.."
Fiona: "Huh…"
A hand suddenly emerged from his body.
Zantanel: "Hahahahahaha…...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...hahahahahaha!"
She came completely out, with wings growing from her back.
Zantanel: "I ate Loki's insides!!!…."
(Splat!)
Several eyes appeared on the wings...
Marcus: "Ugh."
Fiona: "Shh."
Sophie: "Shhh."
They slowly moved backward and hid behind the rocks.
Zantanel: "Hahahahahahaha….Amazing...it feels powerful….I can fly now…..Hahahaahahaha….."
She stood up.
Zantanel: "Ughh..my head…Urkk!!"
She held her head.
Zantanel: "Aaaaarghh.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhh...."
Sophie: "Not a good idea."
Fiona: "What?"
Zantanel: "Loki is immortal...he simply regenerates...Apparently she ate his heart, and according to the legend...he is extremely difficult to kill….Not a good..idea."
Zantanel: "Aaaaaaarghhhhhh...."
She pierced her own stomach with a claw and pulled Loki's heart out.
(Splat!)
Zantanel: "Urk….Ghhhh….The heart is probably….inedible....hahhh….I have a feeling there are more people here…"
Zantanel: "Urk...(Cough)…..Whatever…"
She flew away.
Sophie: "Ughh..hahhh…"
Fiona: "Was that the...signal?"
John: "Hmm?..Ughh…..wait a minute...Why is it still on!"
Fiona: "Huh?"
Sophie: "Ugh."
John: "That wasn't from Zantanel or Loki..then what was it?"
Fiona: "Ughh..wait….Isn't that strange..Zantanel noticed we were here, but she simply left."
Marcus: "That means she has something more important to do... and...it is very possible that this is the same target as ours…"
Sophie: "The signal."
Marcus: "Hmm."
Sophie: "I...once heard a legend."
Marcus: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "What kind?"
say that several hundred years ago… a fisherman heard something in the sea….It was..creepy and loud.....He called it a monster….At first he thought it was a Ningen, but it was...not one of them ..it was too large...And Ningens rarely attack humans…...Also, they sound like blue whales….That means...it could be something...And a few years ago, a military aircraft caught a signal that was unknown…."
John: "Ugh. I have heard about that..that's right, that's right!...Wait…"
He took his book and looked through it.
John: "There...The signal said something...….It is written in Prussian...the letters...Can anyone here read Prussian...I mean the letters?"
Fiona: "I can...I studied there for a while."
She took the book.
Fiona: "Д Then comes T (Then comes T)...и R at the end (and at the end) DTR…."
John: "Ugh.."
Sophie: "Huh.."
Fiona: "The same...signal...what does it mean?"
Sophie: "I have to say, I can also read Prussian, but I didn't feel like reading."
Marcus: "(Sweat)..Congratulations...Should I get you something to drink for that, Madam?"
Sophie: "Coffee, please."
Marcus sighed.
Marcus: "That was a joke."
Sophie: "Your humor is a joke... sorry."
Fiona: "Hey, you two…"
John: "My goodness...Wait a minute…...DTR...DTR...Death…..Time…...Return….Or what?..
Sophie: "Hmm….Maybe Days There Right."
Marcus: "Hmmm."
Sophie: "By the way, I told Viola she should drive back."
Marcus: "Then let's take one of the vehicles there. Nobody needs it..."
They got into a military vehicle.
Marcus and Fiona looked at each other and nodded.
Fiona: "I think we have it."
Marcus: "D. For Day...T...For Time...And R..For Return.."
Sophie: "Wait a minute. Where have I heard that?"
John: "Yes..right. I have heard that too…"
Fiona: "From a movie."
Sophie: "That's right...yes, that's right!... The movie was even about a mystery….It was even in Prussian. I bought it.."
Fiona: "Yes...but that's because the movie was made by a soldier...That soldier was a pilot...just like in the movie."
Sophie: "That means…"
Fiona: "We have to find the pilot..maybe he knows more."
Marcus: "Yeah, okay..but...that doesn't mean anything. I mean...Day...Time...Return...Day….Time Return."
Sophie: "What if we reverse it? Return...Time...Day..or Day...Return Time. It doesn't have to be in that order."
Fiona: "Yes, she is right..One more thing...We only have these letters...but according to John, the rest is just a disturbing signal…."
Sophie: "Well, that's great….So all that noise and crashing and 'Wuhahahahaha, I ate Loki' from Zantanel...was for this?"
John: "I have to say...I like her humor...but..she is unfortunately right..that was a complete waste of time…"
Sophie: "Great...And I have had to pee for hours...for this too."
John: "Here, a glass. Pee in here."
Sophie: "Hahaha….Say that one more time...and YOU are getting your blood in there."
John: "Oh..wow…..Brutal...now I know why you are single."
Sophie: "You're single too.."
John: "I want to stay single..I am perfectly fine with myself….I am into tomboys anyway."
Sophie: "Huh?... Wait... you don't mean Viola, do you?"
John: "Ohh..right, she's hot…"
Marcus: "Hhhhmm..(Cough)..."
Fiona: "Hmmm.."
Marcus: "Is something wrong, Fiona?"
Fiona: "I'm just thinking about it...Why does this signal travel so far..the last time a similar signal appeared... according to the case book....in….the Ice Zone.."
Sophie: "Ugh..Really?"
Fiona: "Yes...but now it is near Budapesz...why?"
Marcus: "...Hmmm...Oh no...I think I know why."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
think it is a living creature...And this creature can speak their language. It knows exactly about the signals... This sound always appears near a military ship or aircraft. This is no coincidence. It never appears near normal ships, as if it is saying..I am here…..What are you waiting for."
Fiona: "Hmm."
Marcus thought about it.
Marcus: "What if DTR...has no meaning...what if it is just a name...and the case assumed it was a message."
Sophie: "Honestly, if my mother named me DTR..I would probably be pissed too...Imagine that at school...'DTR, please come to the board' and then the little brats start going hahaha DTR…."
John: "Okay..but did you really have to imitate the voices too, and why the heck did it even sound good..did you ever want to become an actress?"
Sophie: "My mother and my aunt were actresses...... And my father was a director…"
John: "Oh."
Fiona: "Your father was the famous Sirigu Valeria, wasn't he?.."
Sophie: "Yep..He made the movies The Tears of the Stars...or The Wings of the Butterfly …..I always cry when I watch these movies..especially because my mother was in both films."
John: "So he used his profession to make your mother famous...was she really that bad?"
Sophie: "Someone really wants to get hit today."
John Titor: "Sorry."
They continued driving.
John: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "..Wait Marcus, do you see that?"
Marcus: "Of course I see that…."
In front of the road... soldiers and cars.
Viola: "Ugh..there they are."
They stopped.
Fiona: "Rosika ...Viola.."
Sophie: "Siegfried, what is going on?"
Viola: "Well….this happened."
She pointed at the road.
Sophie: "Huh!"
Fiona: "But what!"
Marcus: "Huh!"
A huge hole had appeared, and black liquid was coming out of it...
Police Officer: "What is that!"
Marcus: "Back!!"
It swallowed the police officer...then he came back out....as... a monster.
Monster: "Rorrrrrrr..."
