'Dark' Silver Wolf:
When was the last time you ever lost?
Silver Wolf:
Enough chit-chat…
Kafka:
You're running out of time.
'Dark' Silver Wolf:
But she hasn't given up. Elio, do you really believe she can do things I can't?
Kafka:
Elio says it's because she doesn't believe in limits that she's here. Look, she's back.
'Dark' Silver Wolf:
429 times. How do you want to die this time?
Silver Wolf:
I'll kill you.
(On-screen message: “15 system hours ago…”)
Kafka:
Join us, Punklorde's esteemed wolf.
Silver Wolf:
I already said we can make a deal, but you have no bargaining chip or sincerity.
Kafka:
Elio wants me to ask you: How long has your “Cartridge” been stuck at the current level?
Silver Wolf:
You guys… are a little bit too nosy!
Kafka:
Forgive me. This is our bargaining chip, and this… is our sincerity.
The Aeons set a limit for you. Join us, and you'll have the chance to break through it.
'Dark' Silver Wolf:
Watch carefully. This is how to use aether editing. Break through the limit? Infinite upgrades?
There was once someone who believed these lies, too…
She founded a Dark Zone Empire and crushed the IPC. She united the Rangers and hackers, and brought the tavern under her banner. Finally, she breached Device IX and supplanted Polka.
Silver Wolf:
Ha! As if such a person could exist… Wait, unless you're—
'Dark' Silver Wolf:
She won all games and stood at the peak of Elation. If even she couldn't do it, how can you?
Silver Wolf:
Through… This!
'Dark' Silver Wolf:
What!?
Silver Wolf:
Hah, I see. I remember you said the Stellaron Hunters exist to rewrite the Finality…
And they're here to rewrite their own endings too. So… The only one who can beat you is yourself [1].
The peak of Elation? No one cares. Right now, I just want to knock you out!
Aether editing, UB_0097![2]
'Dark' Silver Wolf:
Looks like lending you an arm wasn't enough.
Silver Wolf:
Then… Just hand 'em ALL over!
Kafka:
Knowing one's future (Finality) may not change a person. But the unpredictable Elation has the power to interfere with the “script.”
Silver Wolf:
When was the last time you ever lost?
'Dark' Silver Wolf:
That's something I can't even remember anymore. Just keep winning like me. I'll be watching you.
Silver Wolf:
Quiet. You won't be my endgame.
Kafka:
Right now, you still can't control it. We'll hold onto this cartridge for you in the meantime.
Silver Wolf:
Who do you take me for…? I won't become destiny's slave.
Kafka:
Anything above level 999 is the gods' domain. Come now, the game to hunt an Aeon is about to begin.
