This is the script for Hilda's Arcade Mode stories.
UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH[]
Prologue[]
Hilda: This rumbling from deep below the ground, and the Altar of Light and Darkness that will guide the Hollow Night into the Abyss. Finally, the core of the "Night" will reveal itself!
And with that, every foolish In-birth will come to its call. Their EXS will become my flesh and bones, and grant me powers far greater than they could ever imagine.
The power over death and Re-birth that the little Night Blade girl has, as well as the Insulator carried by her little boyfriend, will soon be mine. And then, I'll be well on the path toward becoming a Re-birth. I will fear no foe, not even the Weaver of Eternity!
Heh, heh… Hahahaha! How wonderful… Sheer excellence! How I've been waiting for this day to arrive!
Just you wait, Adelheid and Kuon. I, Paradox, will finally earn the right to become a Re-birth, and then I'll have both your heads! Amnesia will be in complete control, first of the Night, and then of the world!
But it'll be a while until the Abyss appears. Since I have all this time on my hands, I think I'll clean up the trash lurking around the Altar. I'll end their miserable lives, nicely and quickly.
They should be thankful, I'm in such a good mood today.
Stages 1-8 (in random order)[]
vs. Waldstein[]
Hilda: Well, I was wondering what kind of awful brute had shown up at my door… Hecatoncheir, you're a long way from home, aren't you? Can I help you with something?
Waldstein: Surprising… I was going to say the same to you. What are you doing here, Paradox? I'd assume you were up to no good, vile woman.
Hilda: I'm just here to take out the trash… I really don't want my altar to be stained by the likes of you.
Waldstein: Well said, Paradox… You saved me the time to find you, and made it easier for me to tear you to shreds!
vs. Carmine[]
Hilda: Oh my, look who we have here… That's quite the style. I like the bad boy touch. So then, who are you?
Carmine: What? Who the hell are you? I'm surprised you're not shitting in fear from seeing me. You must be some low-end grunt or something.
Hilda: Funny, I was going to say the same to you… Though in your case, it's quite obvious that you belong at the bottom of the barrel.
Carmine: Nice… I haven't been this pissed off in a while. Time to beat the shit out of you!
vs. Orie[]
Hilda: Well, if it isn't the little Licht Kreis girl? How are you doing on this fine Night?
Orie: What…? What is Paradox doing out here alone? As one after the Abyss, you should be waiting where it will manifest…
Hilda: I suppose I could do that, but that would be way too easy, not to mention predictable, no? Let's just say I'm a special boss hunting for low-level characters like you. ♪
Orie: As fate would have it, our meeting was inevitable. Paradox of Amnesia, I shall bring an end to your Vessel.
vs. Gordeau[]
Hilda: I thought I'd kill a little time while waiting for the Abyss to appear, but I wasn't expecting to see you, Gordeau the Harvester.
Gordeau: Whoa, if it isn't Little Miss Delinquent… You sure you should be wandering around out here? Not that I'm complaining, given that you just saved me a trip to the Abyss.
Hilda: I suppose I'd only waste my breath asking why you're here. You look like you've stayed in decent enough shape, but after all that time off the front lines, do you really think you stand a chance against me?
Gordeau: Time off… Can't deny that, but it still hurts hearing it from you. Since I doubt anything I say will make you come to your senses, I'll just have to stop you before you become a Void.
vs. Merkava[]
Hilda: This is no ordinary Void, is it? Come on out and show yourself, big boy.
Merkava: Hm… I suppressed my presence into the shadows, and still, you could perceive me. Impressive. It would seem as if the EXS flowing from your Vessel will overwhelm you soon.
Hilda: I'm not as weak as you. I'd never allow this power to consume me. It must be exceptionally painful, being trapped in that monstrous form. Why not let me end it all for you?
Merkava: Your generous offer is appreciated. Perhaps I should extend the same to you. Let this beast feast upon the manifestation bursting from within you so as to release you from your vices.
vs. Vatista[]
Vatista: I was wondering what kind of In-birth would wander alone into the Hollow Night. You must be the one called Paradox. The one who seeks to become a Re-birth.
Hilda: Hm? A human? No, a Void? Wait… you're… Oh my, it must be my lucky day… and an unlucky day for you.
Vatista: We share similar observations, Paradox. I have no concern for who you are. The reason for my awakening is to terminate those exploiting the manifestations. Prepare yourself.
Hilda: That's quite chilling to hear from such a pretty face. But I like what you're saying, little girl. It turns me on… I suppose I'll take home what's left of you after I'm done, Autonomic Nerve!
vs. Seth[]
Hilda: I know you're following me, my dear. Hiding your presence is pointless, so why don't you show yourself so that I can kill you?
Seth: Impressive for a seeker of Re-birth. I guess you don't care much for standard procedure.
Hilda: You've got some gall to be calling your shadow-lurking "standard". Though those daggers of yours do look interesting. Let's make a deal. You leave those daggers with me, and I'll let you live. What do you say?
Seth: Hmph… Don't make me laugh. If you want these, come and get them. That is, if you can defeat me.
vs. Yuzuriha[]
Hilda: My, what an edgy, little EXS you are. Are you one of those "samurai" characters?
Yuzuriha: Ew… I thought I sensed something super powerful nearby. You're that big, bad boss I've seen wandering around.
Hilda: I'd love to recruit someone of your talent into Amnesia, but all this work is tiring me. So, I think I'll just kill you instead.
Yuzuriha: Wow, that's blunt… Not that I don't like the approach. Tell ya' what, if you lose, promise you'll never come around here again. Now that we're clear, time for Ayame to cut you down!
vs. Chaos[]
Hilda: I wasn't expecting to run into you, of all people. Oh, what a wonderful evening this has become. So, do you have any words of praise for me, "Bloody Chaos"?
Chaos: Not tonight. Instead, I came here to stop you for both Gordeau's and my sake. After all, it would be somewhat of a shame to lose even a mindless woman like you.
Hilda: How nice to know I'm still loved. But aren't you getting a tad carried away, thinking you can stop me? I can't let that slide, even if it did come from you.
Chaos: Let me soak these crimson claws even further with your blood. Afterwards, I'll listen to your curses and complaints from the side of a hospital bed, Paradox.
vs. Nanase[]
Hilda: Hm? You're that young lady from before. Judging by your appearance, you've recently awakened to your powers, haven't you?
Nanase: Hey! You're that baddie from before! Which means you're in cahoots with Hyde Kido! I've been looking for you! Get ready, 'cause I'm here for revenge!
Hilda: Is that so? You, fighting me? A pity… The last time we met, you were totally helpless so I left you alone. But you're different now. I'll teach you first-hand not to face those far superior to you!
Nanase: Come and get me! I didn't jump into the Hollow Night for nothing! I don't care how strong you are! I'm going to defeat you, then find Hyde Kido, and beat the crap out of him!
vs. Byakuya[]
Hilda: Interesting… A brother-sister duo. You two look so adorable with your gloomy eyes. I just want to take you home with me. Say, how about coming along to have some fun?
Byakuya: Ahahaha! She called you gloomy. She needs to mind her manners.
Hilda: You're included too, you know? Rather, I was mostly talking about you. Such an interesting child, but what bad timing… I'm going to have to do away with you two, nice and quick.
Tsukuyomi: Byakuya, be careful. She seems to have forgotten us, but I will never forget her. She's our sworn enemy, Hilda the Paradox, whom we will defeat here and now.
vs. Phonon[]
Phonon: Hey, you. Pretty shady aura you got there. You wouldn't happen to be Paradox, would you? Wait a sec… Looks like I caught the big one on my first try!
Hilda: Well now, you seem to be a brazen one. I like that. Come with me, and something good may happen, for me.
Phonon: Uh… No, no, and no. EFG did say that you'd try to bring people over to your side. Not that I care whether I'm good or evil, but until I pay back my dues, my answer's gonna be a stern, "No".
Hilda: EFG? Let me see… Wasn't that the resistance group created by students? Oh well, if you're not going to come, I suppose I can take a spare moment to crush you, dear.
vs. Mika[]
Hilda: What a small girl we have here. Seems like the Hollow Night has gotten a bit more lively. If you're looking for the summer festival, I'm afraid you're in the wrong place. This is no place to be fooling around.
Mika: Mmm… Festival food… Cotton candy, fried noodles, chocolate-covered bananas… So yummy… But, I have to do some clean-up first before I can go!
Hilda: You're such a nice girl! Of course, you do know I'm Paradox, don't you? Licht Kreis must be full of nice, foolish girls like yourself.
Mika: Same to you! You're just as foolish to stand in the way of Licht Kreis's Tenth Executor, the great Mika!
Hilda: Such sass… It's going to be fun twisting you like a rag. I'll prop your limp body up as a target at some shooting gallery once I'm done with you. But I imagine you already enjoy being an easy target!
vs. Wagner[]
Hilda: Well, look at what I've caught here. The noble Crimson Knight of Licht Kreis. Finally decided to come into the Night, have you?
Wagner: Hilda the Paradox… Rumor had it that you were a powerful witch, but after seeing you in person, I have my doubts. I suppose your power is only befitting of this small city.
Hilda: Oh my, what a scathing retort. I would so love to see how truly powerful of a Vessel you are that would make you "befitting" of this world.
Wagner: I can spare you some praise for keeping up such a strong front. But that front will fall in mere moments. My crimson flames shall embrace you until you are mere ashes on the ground.
vs. Enkidu[]
Hilda: Oh my, Enkidu, how unexpected. I thought you would care less about the Abyss, but maybe you're here to find your "worthy opponent"?
Enkidu: Hm, it seems my will is too obvious… You are correct indeed. In fact, I see a "worthy opponent" in front of me now.
Hilda: You could have held back a bit longer, but I suppose you're just not the type to hold back. Well, I feel sorry that you have not had the chance to face me, so I guess it's the least I can do to spare some time for you now.
Enkidu: How delightful. If so, do not hold back your power. You will see how truly limited your Vessel is, and what little significance it has in this vast world.
vs. Londrekia[]
Hilda: Hm… Hello there, good looking. You seem like a fine lad, but I can see the plight in your eyes. Very nice… Is it jealousy? A curse? Who is it that you see?
Londrekia: How surprising… I didn't expect anyone to see through me so quickly. Females are quite keen, indeed. Do not worry, Paradox, as my eyes an see you as well…
Hilda: That is so sweet of you. I couldn't possibly let some common rabble put you down because of those dear, horrid eyes. Since I know you can see me, I can crush you now without any worry, yes?
Londrekia: I was hesitant to deal with you, since you aren't directly involved in that which I seek, but your words have abated any doubts in my mind. Now then, bringer of chaos, come and meet the light that will be your end.
vs. Eltnum[]
Hilda: Oh? That uniform of yours… The Wanderer, was it? A mysterious young girl, affiliated with no one, who has made this place her "home." So, what are you really after?
Eltnum: I've heard a few things about you too, Paradox, leader of Amnesia. My purpose is simple. To show the arrogant the harshness of reality.
Hilda: Harshness of reality… Speaking like a grown-up, aren't you? I have no interest in you, even if you are a heroine, since I'll be reaping your life in just a moment.
Eltnum: Well said. Pure evil is bliss in itself. After all, there's no need for mercy. Your power only stands out among the common. Let's see how you fare against a true veteran.
vs. Akatsuki[]
Hilda: You look like the honest type. What would someone like you be doing on the Hollow Night?
Akatsuki: Ma'am… You seem to be rather overdressed for this time of night. Did you leave early from a party?
Hilda: Party? I suppose this night, where my desires will be fulfilled, could be considered a party of sorts. If so, how would you like to enjoy a dance with me?
Akatsuki: You're no mewling newcomer. I warn you, if you dare stand against me, woman or not, I will not hold back.
Stage 9[]
Hilda: That should take care of most of the bottom-feeders around the area. Did I use too much power, though? I mean, none of them stood a chance against me to begin with. I suppose all that's left is to wait for the Abyss.
(Linne appears)
Linne: You certainly seem to be in a good mood, Paradox. I hate to spoil your plans, but you won't be around to see the Abyss appear. I'll make sure of it.
Hilda: Well, look who we have here, welcome to the Abyss of the Hollow Night, Princess. I thought you'd already run away like a coward. I'm afraid I have nothing to offer you, but… Welcome, nonetheless.
Linne: I wouldn't worry about it. You can spare me the flattery and the rest of your mindless drivel. I don't know what it is you're after, but it's the duty of the Night Blade to stop the misuse of any manifestations. I can't let you walk after hearing everything I have about Kuon.
Hilda: What I'm after…? Well, the first thing on the list would be your head. I suppose I would also like to see those who preached "Order" panic as they fall into chaos, and ultimately death.
After that, I'm going to change the rules that govern the Hollow Night. This place needs to be remade in the image of someone like me. Ancient artifacts like you have no place here.
Linne: Unbelievable… So this is what the new generation is like. I've seen so many just like you over the years, but I've yet to see any of you succeed.
Do you understand what I'm getting at? History repeats itself. Despite your powers, you'll never defeat someone even as simple as this artifact, you witch.
Hilda: Enough already. How I despise having to listen to you drone on as if you know everything. Your longevity is not doing your personality any favors.
I'm going to love watching your face distort in agony. At the very least, try to look like you're in excruciating pain before you die, okay?
Final Stage[]
Hilda: So, how does it feel to be crushed by overwhelming power, Princess of the Night Blade? If your little boyfriend doesn't show up soon, things will turn very ugly, indeed.
Linne: Tch… It seems I underestimated your powers, Paradox… If so, fate has destined me to die here. Do with me what you will.
Hilda: Oh, it was my every intention to do so. Soon, the Abyss will appear and I won't have the time to deal with you. Farewell… I did enjoy our little battle, as short as it was.
(Hyde arrives)
Hyde: Hold it right there! You're not gonna do anything, Paradox! Don't you dare lay another finger on Linne!
Linne: That idiot… Hyde, what are you doing here?! I told you that Paradox was after your Insulator!
Hilda: Well, now! You really have a flair for dramatic entrances, don't you? But things definitely have gotten more exciting. I was afraid this little girl's death would go to waste.
Hyde: Don't screw with me. I may not know exactly what you're after in the Hollow Night… But I'll never forgive you for crushing the hopes of others just to gain more power for yourself!
I'm not going to let you get any closer to the Abyss than you already have. You, your ambitions, and Amnesia are going down! Prepare yourself!
Hilda: Even though you wield the Insulator, you sure do come across as a barbarian despite your attempt to rescue the damsel in distress. I must say, I didn't think getting everything I needed would be THIS easy…
Well, let's get this show started. In tonight's audience, we have the wounded princess. The stage has been set for the finale. Dear princess, just sit back and enjoy!
Epilogue[]
Hilda: Look at that… I managed to win myself the Insulator. Oh my, this is quite heavy, isn't it?
Hyde: Damn it… Give it back… What are you planning to do with it?
Hilda: Isn't it obvious? I'm going to use it to cut down Kuon. The Insulator should be able to rend manifestations of the Night.
Linne: So, you're after my brother… Your Vessel may suffice in facing him… Quite the monster this generation has brought about…
Hilda: Generation? I believe "Amnesia's generation" is befitting. A crusty old symbol of ages past, like yourself, isn't needed any longer.
What I seek is beyond the Abyss… The path to the Re-birth… There I will become an existence beyond all In-births.
With my reincarnation into a Re-birth, and the Insulator in hand, nothing will stand in my way!
Linne: Stop while you still can… You lack the wisdom to control the power of Re-birth. The manifestation will surely consume your soul and turn you into a Void.
Hilda: My dear princess… Groveling at my feet, and yet oh so brazen. You know, I can test the edge of the Insulator on you if you'd like.
(She cuts Linne down with the Insulator)
Hyde: Linne! Damn it! Stop!
Hilda: Ahahaha! This sword is so heavy! It made me miss my mark. Dear princess, you look so distraught. What's the matter, hm?
As for you, little boy… I take it you're all bark and no bite. You're going to need to do more than yell to stop me. Don't worry, I'll send you to your master in due time!
(Hyde is also struck down with his own sword)
Aah… I better stop before you die and… Dear me, am I too late? Why is everyone so weak? Heh, heh… Hahaha… Ahahahaha!
The detritus has gathered before me. The era of silence is about to end. My flesh will be the spear that pierces the Abyss. All this is merely a prequel to my ordained Infinite Eternity.
Hilda: All I desire is the Vessel of a Re-birth… All I yearn for is Infinite Eternity. The Hollow Night itself will be mine…
Hilda: My dear princess… Groveling at my feet, and yet oh-so brazen. You know, I can test the edge of the Insulator on you if you'd like.
Hyde: Linne! Damn it! Stop!
Hilda: Ahahaha! This sword is so heavy! I may drop it by accident on our dear princess… So, be a nice boy and stay put, okay?
I'll sacrifice you both in one nice, little package. Don't worry, I'll be gentle… Though that may prolong the suffering. Ahahahaha!
Enkidu, Blackmonger, can you hear me? And you, Joker… I know you have time on your hands as well. Take these two away, and show them the best time they've ever had.
Enkidu: …
Uzuki: Ignorant wench, you dare give orders to the mighty Uzuki? But, today is a special day, so I could let you have the spotlight just this once.
Something seems really strange about her today, but what else should I expect? After all, anyone wanting to become a Re-birth must have a few screws loose….
Let's just hurry up and get this over with, Enkidu. It looks like our business here is done, and I don't want to stay any longer than necessary…
Enkidu: …
(The Amnesia members take their two new prisoners away)
Hilda: Reincarnation… The Insulator… And the man with the secret to infinite eternity. I finally have all the pieces to the puzzle in my hands…
The silence that has endured for ages will finally be broken. Time will shift once more and dance to the whims of Amnesia under me, Paradox.
The never-ending procession of Nights, and the impassable door that leads to resurrection… I will use my spear to pierce through it all. How enthralling…
This is the Order of the Infinite Eternity that will inevitably come. What lurks amid the forbidden eternal dusk? A devil, or perhaps something worse? I can't wait…
All I desire is the Vessel of a Re-birth… All I yearn for is infinite eternity. The Hollow Night itself will be mine…
Hilda: In the depths of this Hollow Night, with the gathering of all the In-births… I beckon you all to Dia Liber…
(Ending theme: Crimson World That I Arc)
UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II SYS:CELES[]
Prologue[]
Hilda: Time absolutely crawls when you're not having fun… I thought this Night would never arrive.
But now that it has, I'm going to find that horrible man who dares to call himself "Re-Birth"--the thing I want most in this world--and give him an EXS to the face. Several times over.
Last time, you appeared out of nowhere and made a real mess… You call that dirty ambush a victory? No. I simply won't hear it! I'll show you who the strongest In-Birth really is!
…Where is this damned Abyss, anyway? Who knows if I'll even make it there before the Night ends?
Sigh… I used to be the champion, waiting at the altar for challengers to step up and try their luck, but now I'm the one walking to the Abyss. How embarrassing! On the bright side, at least it's good exercise.
Ugh… Then again, that means I have to fight any little rat I happen to run into. Talk about ruining a perfectly good evening… I only pray that, whoever I find out here, they aren't too terribly boring…
Hee hee hee… There's that old, familiar feeling. How long has it been since I walked the Night alone? Twice or thrice before I met Gordeau? It hasn't even been a whole year, but it feels like ages ago…
I suppose it's nice to remember the old days every now and then… It's a special Night, after all. I'll make sure to give everyone I meet some extra special attention.
I'll give the Night the grand, gorgeous send-off it deserves. Hear that, Aeon? I'll see you at the Abyss!
Stage 3[]
Hilda: Oh my, if it isn't my sweet little underling! Fancy seeing you here.
Chaos: Of course… It is the final Night, after all. I'm not so rotten through that I'd sit back and wait for my own death. This is good--I've found you at the best possible timing.
Hilda: Oh? So you've been waiting for me here, then? Why, if I didn't know any better, I'd assume you were thinking about challenging me! Me, the almost-assuredly-future Demon Queen! Hee hee hee…
Chaos: I knew even you couldn't miss the hint. You're correct--I am here to challenge you… though the idea doesn't exactly thrill me.
Hilda: Oh…? So you really are looking for a fight? I suppose this final Night brings out the crazy in all of us. Go on, then. I'm all ears. Tell me your reason.
…Not that a good reason will leave you any less dead.
Chaos: Simply put, I'm worried about you. To go into more detail, I'm here to stop you before you lose to you-know-who and make things worse. Even if you win, it's all over if you're consumed by EXS.
Hilda: You don't stand a chance against a fully-realized Aeon, and you don't stand a chance against me if I become a Void, either. Trying to defeat me while you still have a prayer, then? Is that it?
Chaos: That's precisely it. Maybe this final Night has honed your senses. I've considered many possible scenarios, but they all lead to only one sound conclusion: Your visiting Aeon poses an enormous risk.
Hilda: Hmm. You're quite arrogant if you think you can beat me on your own. I suppose you'll die without regrets if you don't have anyone to blame but your own foolish miscalculations.
Chaos: No matter. I don't actually have to be the one to take you down. I'm just betting on the slight chance I have, rather than no chance at all. Naturally, under normal circumstances, I wouldn't bet either way.
…But if I want to alter destiny, I can't sit this hand out. I don't want to lose this world--or you--just yet.
Stage 6[]
Gordeau: Yeah, I figured you wouldn't get taken out midway through… which means you'd show up here. And here you are.
Hilda: Gordeau… Don't even THINK about trying to stop me.
Gordeau: Come on. You know you shouldn't go any further. Right now you're like a balloon with way too much air in it. Hit the EXS at the Abyss, and you'll go pop!
…Nah, "pop" is underselling it. You ever see one of those old comic books where the good guy hits a pressure point and the bad guy dies in a gnarly explosion? It'll be like that.
Hilda: Hmph. Thanks for the charming example, you fence-sitter. I thought you'd give me a little more credit than that. I have the willpower to swallow all that EXS down if I have to.
Gordeau: What do you think it is, an all-you-can-eat buffet? All the willpower in the world isn't gonna cut it.
If you end up on the other side, you'll never make it back again. I can't see anybody else go out like that. Come on, just stay here and let me go take down that Aeon fella.
Hilda: I've never much cared for this side of you, you know. You're always ready to tell me how strong I am… until it actually matters, and then you're suddenly the strongest.
Spare me any more of your fake compliments. They're extremely annoying, and none of them will stop me from beating you right here and showing you who's really strongest.
I don't care if you're ready or not. If you don't take this seriously, you're dead. That's all there is to it.
Gordeau: Me? Strong? Don't be ridiculous. I'm not strong. I'm a coward. I've survived because I'm good at being a coward. If I were really strong… he'd still be here.
Still… You and I do have a lotta history. Getting a serious challenge from you is actually pretty interesting. Okay then, one serious duel before the end of the world. Let's make it special.
Hilda: There. Was that so hard? Now, this battle won't just prove who's the strongest In-Birth in Amnesia, but in the entire world! Isn't that thrilling?
Gordeau: Oof… Sorry, Chaos, but I don't think I'm getting outta this one alive. This is the worst enemy I could possibly think to make…
Final Stage[]
Kuon: I've been waiting for you… You're the guest of honor, here at last.
Hilda: I'm sure you have. Be grateful that I've decided to play along with your cheap provocation. I'd hate to have to chase you to the other side.
You've made a mockery of me, and I'll have my revenge. You think you're the strongest one around? Don't make me laugh! Prepare yourself to be run through… and then decapitated for good measure, "Eternal One."
Kuon: …Even an immortal body like mine has limits when it comes to reconstruction. Immortality is more of a metaphor for extreme resilience. Chop my head off, and yes, not even I would survive.
Re-Birth… Behold this body. This is the eternal body you long for: a hideous existence, so deeply fused with EXS that one could hardly call me human. Do you still wish to come to this side?
Hilda: Of course. My EXS is more than enough to take complete control. But thank you for the concern… loser.
Run your mouth as much as you like. Once you're dead, I'll take everything. What do I care about what a stupid corpse thinks? Now be a good boy and disappear.
Kuon: I see… So your mind is made up. The power of EXS is the power of one's will itself. With resolve as firm as yours, you might actually be able to change something…
But I still don't intend to yield this place, either. At the end of it all, this is a clash of wills.
I would like to take your immense power and use it to realize my wish… To put the final period on this long, long story. It's finally within reach.
Hilda: A period? How appropriate, because I'm going to bring you to a full stop. Suit yourself, then. Write as many periods as you like.
Me, though? I prefer exclamation points. Let's see how many you can take!
Epilogue[]
Hilda: Hmph… What a fool… And you call yourself a Re-Birth? Honestly, I'm beyond disappointed…
Ah ha ha ha! This is how you should have been from the very beginning. Power rules this world, you know. Weaklings like you shouldn't try to act so high and mighty--unless you're trying to get a laugh.
Re-Birth or not, you really thought my superior powers wouldn't be enough to handle you? Who do you think you're dealing with? I'm the pinnacle of all In-Births! I am Hilda the Paradox!
I'd NEVER lose to a pathetic worm like you! NEVER!
(Hilda furiously kicks at the corpse of the once-powerful Re-Birth Kuon)
Haah… Haah… Haah… Kngh…!
…There. Now nobody stands in my way. Finally… The moment I've been waiting for is here…
Hear me, Night! Hear me, Abyss! Take me now! Come to me, O powers of the darkness! Let your infinite EXS gather in my body!
Let us throw open the door… to Re-Birthhood!
-----[]
The Re-Birth known as Kuon the Aeon perished along with his schemes.
The pathway to the Night was closed, preventing the Immortalize from occurring and saving the world from destruction.
However, though the world escaped destruction, the final Night left it drastically changed. The scars left by Aeon and the collapse of the ever-growing Night have attracted countless Voids.
The world continues to fill with EXS, and the populations of Voids and Wielders grow in turn. The existence of EXS and In-Births can no longer be kept secret; they are common knowledge across the globe.
The number of In-Births skyrockets as the Hollow Night is no longer contained in one certain region.
Once a small incident, bound to a town known as "the Nightless City," the Night has grown in scale. It is now a commonplace phenomenon in regions all over the world.
Throughout all of this, one name spreads; its bearer infamous as the strongest of all Re-Births…
Amnesia's own Hilda the Paradox.
Her wrath knows no bounds. She rules over the dark reaches of the world, untouched by light.
Paradox seized control of one small island nation; the surrounding territories soon followed. No-one dared to stand against her as her red eyes turned to the distance.
Her gaze went beyond the seas, into the lands of light, unmarred by darkness; towards the largest organization in the world equipped to handle the Night.
There, she saw another Re-Birth: Princess Adelheid of Licht Kreis.
Hilda: Let's keep this nice and flashy! It's the last and largest war of all, you know!
My body is a Re-Born Void… My Vessel transcends time… The age of ordinary humanity has withered and died…
So, my little princess of Licht Kreis… Come out and play. We're all each other has now, after all…
