This is the script for Mika's Arcade Mode stories.
UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH[]
Prologue[]
Mika: F-Finally! I'm heeeere! Nyuuu!
I can't believe our plane got attacked by those mysterious bad guys! When they shot us down, I totally just escaped by a hair onto that deserted island!
I have no idea how long I waited for someone to parasail by and save me… Eventually I just had to roll up my sleeves and make a raft to get myself outta there.
So many days, I drifted… Being tossed around on stormy seas. The days… sooo hot… The nights… sooo not… The weather, a backstabbing B…
All around me were hungry sharks, and the sky, full of hungry birds. All of them, circling this hot dish… When I ran out of food and water, I died a million deaths, yuu…
Famished, parched… In a daze, I used up my last energy to drift myself down to the coast. Then that Coastal Guardian whatever guy rescued me, I finally arrived in this country at long last, but then they treated me like an illegal immigrant and I almost got kicked out…
I came this far, only to find myself back at the starting point. That's so unfair! I could write a book about everything I did to get myself outta that place!
After all the hardships I faced, I'm finally here! I'm tired, I'm hungry, and I'm sleepy. So first, I'm gonna look for a Licht Kreis branch and take a long rest before I think of my next step, yuu!
Hmm…? Huh? HUUUUUH?!
D-D-D-Don't tell me it's already "Night!" Is it the Hollow Night? It's started already?!
Aww… Guess I can't help it… I'm worried about Orecchiette fighting alone… I guess I could beat up my tired body and head on over to the fight, yuu…
W-Wait for me, Orecchiette! I'm comin' to save you!
Stage 3[]
Mika: Hm… I feel like someone's following me. This scent, blowing around in the air, is familiar… *Sniff* *Sniff*...
Oh. I was so focused on the presence that was far away, I didn't even notice the scary guy nearby. Who's theeere?
(Chaos appears)
Chaos: Well, now. Scary guy? How rude. Besides, it's impossible that I would have accidentally let my presence be known. The reason I allowed you to see me was because I was curious about something.
Your attire tells me you're a member of the Licht Kreis. So I wanted to verify my assumption… Well, perhaps it is impossible.
You don't seem to match the description of the Crimson Knight given by Gordeau. But why is a member of the Licht Kreis here alone, and a child at that…? Is this some kind of trap…?
Mika: Nyuu? Hey, you. What's with all the staring and the babbling? What is this? Checking me out from head to toe… *GASP*! A-Are you a fan of mine?! With all the women in Licht Kreis, it's a shame not more of them are as cute as I am. Spotlight's on me now, girls!
Chaos: *Sigh*... Another person lacking in intelligence. Let's set aside what you're planning on this Night for now. The Licht Kreis that I know is an organization with far more intelligence and class. Wait a minute… Is there a chance that it's a different group with the same name?
Mika: NOOOO! What the heyol! Why are you being such a jerk?! You're making it sound like I don't have the class to be considered a part of the Licht Kreis!
Chaos: Interesting… So you're able to understand what I'm saying and the intentions behind it, are you? I guess we'll also set that aside for now. It appears that you have the bare minimum intelligence, sensitivity, and ability to communicate. The Licht Kreis is all about ranks. I don't know what your rank is… Are you a new member?
Mika: ARGH! EVERYONE IS ALWAYS "RANK RANK RANK"! YEAH, YEAH. 10TH IS AT THE BOTTOM- I KNOW! ARE NUMBERS ALL THAT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU GUYS?! IS 10TH NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU?! Don't judge a person's abilities based off some paper test, yuu! I'm totally the type of cat that hides her claws, yuu!
Chaos: Although in recent years our mental reasoning has progressed, we are in an era where everything is evaluated by written tests. If you do not have the ability to adapt, that in itself measures what your true abilities are. Deny the system all you want, but why not show me these claws you claim to be hiding? I would love to assess them for myself.
Mika: GRRRR! BRING IT ON!!! ANYTIME, ANYWHERE! If words can't get through to your dumb butt, COME AT ME! I'LL KNOCK YOU INTO THE NEXT GRADE BRACKET! Do not underestimate the Tenth Executor! You just let me kick the shit out of yuuu!
Stage 6[]
Waldstein: What's this small thing doing here? Why is a little raccoon like this wandering around this Night? Actually… now that I have a closer look at you, you seem to have had a bit of training. I sense an immensely powerful aura.
Mika: Hehe. Right back at'cha. The fact that you've noticed that says you're pretty good yourself. You can't hide it in front of me. Can't hide various things. Heh, heh, heh…
Waldstein: Heh, heh, heh…
Mika: Heh, heh, heh…
Waldstein: …It appears we need not exchange many words between us.
Mika: Exactly. What's important is whose fist will reach whose face first.
Waldstein: It seems so. And we'll see whose feet can hold onto this earth as well. As long as that is made clear, it is all that matters…
Mika: Why don't you tell me your name, old man? I'm Mika Returner. Tenth Executor. Under Adelheid's orders… Well, not really, but… I've come to help out!
Waldstein: I am Waldstein, Hecatoncheir. I am currently affiliated with the Night Blade. In the name of Princess Linne, my master, I shall be victorious in this battle!
Mika: (Waldstein…? Hm. I thought I heard his name before. Like some dangerous man… But, I guess that's fine.)
Waldstein: (Adelheid…? Hm. That name sounds familiar. Something happened with this person a long time ago.)
Mika: It doesn't matter who you are! I just gotta knock yuuu out!
Waldstein: It does not matter who you are! I need only to punch you out!
Mika & Waldstein: YAHHHHHHHHHH!
Stage 9[]
Linne: Yours is a shadow that is not fit to be near the Abyss on a Night as dangerous as this one. For a child to be walking around alone is very unsafe…
Mika: A child IS at a place like this, yuu. It's dangerous, yuu.
Linne: …
Mika: …
Linne: I-It appears this child is ignorant of the ways of the world. Well… I suppose I can't blame her. She's young and lacks experience.
Mika (※142 cm): Grrr. What did you just say? You're a shorty, just like me. Why are you acting as if you're the freaking Queen? I'll teach you how to speak your elders, yuu!
Linne (※141 cm): What the…?! You know what, I'm… Well, I may be shorter, but.. We're about the same. There's not much difference.
And besides, the soul that resides in this Vessel is an adult's. My calm refinement. My dignity. Could you mimic even a fraction of that? Heh… I bet a child like you can't even be quiet for ten seconds.
Mika: Well that doesn't matter, yuu. The barometer of determining adulthood is height, OBVIOUSLY, aaand…
Linne: Height and… what?
Mika: And the size of their boobies! My big sister Kaguya said that, so you can take that to the bank and cash it, yuu!
Linne: B--?! Th-That's not something to judge on! And you're about the same… And.. wh-what are you even making me say?!
Mika: AHAHAHA! Look at you blushing over this! That's what makes you a child, yuu. You try to be all adult and compete with me? That's so funny, yuu.
Linne: *Grunt*... You little… Fine, how's this? We're both children, so why don't we "play" together? We're not going to get in trouble or anything. We can have fun to our hearts' content… Heh, heh…
After our fun… whoever is the last one standing is the "adult." And the one who's the adult can pass through the door to the Altar and get Paradox's head. Do you have a problem with that?
Mika: Bring it on, yuu! I will show you that it is a sin to go up against your seniors, yuu!
Final Stage[]
Mika (off-screen): Hnrg. Hnrg… Hm? What's going on? It won't open. The way the door fits is no good. Just like its owner, I'm sure it's getting old, yuu.
…
HI-YAH! DROP KICK!
(Mika forcefully kicks the door to the Altar down, startling Hilda)
Hilda: AH?! Wh-what on earth is going on?! Who's there? Gordeau? Enkidu? Are you two fighting again?
(Mika enters)
Mika: Fouuund ya! So you're the boss of the bad guys, huh? I'm gonna punish you on behalf of Orecchiette, who's smilin' down on me from heaven!
Hilda: …What? What's this child blabbering on about? I suppose you're not far off about my being the boss of the "bad guys," but I can't imagine what your quarrel is with me.
And look at you, barging in and breaking my things… Annoying little brat. Ignorant riffraff like you have no capacity to understand matters beyond your comprehension, and as such, have no place here.
Mika: Can I get a "NO" to all those hard words you just said? I'm usually always right, so that's enough reason for me, yuu.
Hilda: My, my… What a strange, short-tempered girl. I actually don't mind your type…
But, judging from your attire… Am I right to assume you're affiliated with Licht Kreis?
Mika: Indeed! I'm Mika, Tenth Executor of the Licht Kreis! NOW LET'S FIGHT-FIGHT-FIGHT!
Hilda: What…? Tenth? Doesn't that mean you're rather weak? I don't believe this… I had no idea I would be dealing with such a weakling. How insulting…
Mika: HAHAHAH! And such a weakling has broken though this biz-naz, and came ALL the way to the Altar. You should be ashamed of yourself! O-HOHOHOHOHO!
Hilda: Fine. You look like you're worth hurting. I'm going to show the Licht Kreis not to mess with me by sending you back to them in pieces!
Epilogue[]
???: Although she may be the Tenth Executor… it is only because when she was administered the test to determine her rank… Her answers were all off by one, and she failed. Her fighting ability, her strength, are nearly unrivaled. She is the "Ace" of Licht Kreis. This is what happens when you use numbers to judge people based off of their title, Paradox.
Mika: That voice?! Could it be you Orecchiette?! Y-You're alive?! You're amazing as usual, Orecchiette! I'm so touched I could cry!
(Orie appears)
Orie: None of what I said should make you proud! Why must I explain a colleague's shame out loud?! Argh! Next time, you had better focus on the test and not mess it up, Mika!
Mika: Wah! Orecchiette, you're so strict, yuu! How can you ruin our dramatic reunion by lecturing me before even saying hi, yuu?!
Orie: My goodness… For me to be making my rounds on this Night, only to discover someone causing a big ruckus. Once I realized it was you, I followed along in the shadows to support you.
Mika: I thought I sensed a familiar presence… You're amazing as ever, Miss Orecchiette, yuu. I totally felt the support you were squeezing out! That's what makes you the best partner!
Orie: HOWEVER… What are you doing here to begin with? I was given to believe you were ordered to be on standby at headquarters after not passing the dispatch test.
Mika: W-W-Well… That's, um… The aliens… they… I… I got a special order, yuu? It was a command to save Orecchiette, yuu!
Orie: …
Mika: Y-yeah, that's it, yuu… I was so worried about you that I snuck out of headquarters…
Orie: Sit down this instant.
(Mika sits down)
Mika: Okay…
Orie: Gosh… Well, I already received word from headquarters that you had escaped… Silvaria was worried. You had better contact her and apologize… And it appears Adelheid is extremely angry.
Mika: Myuu! Addy's angry face, yuu?! She's gonna deport me, yuu! Back to living like a monk without any snacks, yuu! It's all over! I'm gonna starve, yuu! Death is always hanging out on my porch swing!
Orie: Goodness… I will be sure to speak to headquarters and to Adelheid. In the meanwhile, you shall follow my instructions to prepare for the next night, which is in fact projected to be the most dangerous one yet.
We do not have time nor manpower to spare. In order for Licht Kreis to emerge victorious, your cooperation is paramount. You will help me, won't you, Mika?
(Mika stands up)
Mika: O…
O…
Mika's UNI1 Ending CG.
Mika: O-Orecchiette! YOU ARE THE BEST! I LOVE YUU!
(Ending Theme: Heart beat breaker)
UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II SYS:CELES[]
Prologue[]
Mika: It's been so long since the last Night and all that happened then… Orie's the one who said, "Hey, let's prepare for the next Night together!" but now she's gone! Can ya believe it?
Lucky me, now I'm a free woman! Japan's all mine to enjoy--every weird, wacky inch of it! …Or so I'd hoped. Turns out, all of Orie's work got dumped on me!
It was really hard work, too! I mean, how could anybody be stupid enough to think I'm smart enough to understand it?! So what did I do? Write in a bunch of random numbers and stamp 'em for approval, duh!
But it's all gonna be okay… So I had to cut a few corners to make sure I got out in time for the final Night--so what? That's all!
The final Night… when we're supposed to go take down Aeon. At least I've got official orders from Licht Kreis this time! No running off without permission! Finally, a guilt-free mission!
I even got a nice, juicy instruction sheet from Miss Silvaria! Lessee here… "Mika, do your best." Good start! "If you fail, I'm sending you to the punishment room."
…Geeeeeez! Crank up the pressure at the very end much? I-I'm gonna fail! It's too much pressure! It's gonna squish me down like some kinda deep-sea creature!
There. Now all the distractions are out of the way and I'm done with my pre-mission meditation. C'mon, Pachelbel! Time for our final fight! Once we win, the whole Licht Kreis family'll live happily ever after!
Orie, I know you're out there somewhere… Watch over me… down below the stars up yonder…
I promise… I promise I'm gonna get it done!
Stage 3[]
Phonon: Aha, didn't expect to run into any prey in a place like this. …Hey, can you hear me? I found our target--yeah, the runt from Licht Kreis. Gather at point Z512. Hold formation, surround and capture!
Mika: Wha--?! Are you calling a hound unit? No, you don't look the part… I'm here on official orders! If you wanna nab me, show me a warrant! Wh-Who are you, anyway?!
Phonon: Hey there, little squirrel. Don't cause a scene, okay? My crew's on their way right now to get you tagged and collared. There's a lot of 'em, so I hope you're reading for a pummeling.
Mika: Mrrgh! I don't follow the metaphor, but I get that I'm in trouble… Wait, does that walkie-talkie even work in the Night? And why were you talking so loud I could hear you, anyway? Something stinks here…
Phonon: …Tch, you've already figured it out? I guess Licht Kreis doesn't hire just any old dumb-dumb.
As you brilliantly deduced, it was all an act that I put on. I don't have the time to deal with every single small fry who comes along, so I fake a call for backup, and voila--they run away in an instant.
Mika: Heh… Too bad for you--as YOU brilliantly deduced, I'm not just any dumb-dumb! I'm Tenth Executor Mika, the most dangerous in Licht Kreis! No way would some cheap trick like that work on me!
Phonon: Hmm? Tenth? As in "tenth place"? …Wait, I thought your rankings only went down to fourth or fifth, with the occasional sixth. But tenth…?
Mika: R-Rude! If that's how you're gonna play, I declare war! You've gone and pushed the big, red button now! This is war! War, I tell you!
Phonon: C'mon, here I was, trying to handle you in a peaceful manner, and look what you do… Ah, well. How strong can a Tenth Executor be, really? Fine, let's go. You'll make a nice, quick warm-up.
Mika: Hmph! You've got some nerve, young lady! Don't say I didn't warn you! I'd be the Fist of Licht Kreis at the very tippy-top of my class if it wasn't for the darn written exam!
Phonon: (Yikes… So there's her problem. No brain. Almost makes you feel sorry for her…)
Well, if there's no brain, at least there's brawn. Better keep an eye out for that…
Stage 6[]
Mika: There you are, Orie! I finally found you!
Orie: Mika! I'm glad you're safe. Are you hurt?
Mika: Aw, don't worry about me! Nothing can put a scratch on yours truly! Now, milady, let us proceed to the dreaded Abyss!
Orie: I… cannot do that. Due to my own mistakes, I must act independently tonight. If I were to join you, I wouldn't be able to reach the truth.
Mika: Aww, man! Are you suuure?
Orie: Yes, I am sure.
Mika: (Tch… There she is, Little Miss Stubborn… Looks like I've gotta skip straight to my last resort…)
Hmm… Hm-hmmm… Ahem… Ori--Miss Ballardiae. There is something I must tell you.
Orie: Wh-Why are you speaking like that? It doesn't matter! Nothing you can say to me can shake my resolve!
Mika: I must reveal to you… my true name… It is I, Adelheid. I have borrowed this body to carry out our grand mission.
Orie: Huh? Princess Adelheid…? B-But that can't be!
Mika: (Tee hee hee!)
Orie: Hmm? Was that a laugh?
Mika: No. And even if it were a laugh--which it was not--it was not MY laugh! Listen: Oh ho ho ho!
Ahem… Now, listen carefully, Orie. I do not intend to abuse my power and order you to accompany me. You are a member of Licht Kreis; surely you understand my true intentions.
Orie: …Our wills shall collide and our blades shall cross. Victory goes to the most righteous; the one who acts with the strongest conviction. Is that what you mean?
Mika: Yes. It pleases me that my intentions have gotten across. I suppose you may be uncomfortable with my presence here, so I will return to the inside of this body. Let us fight decisively and with honor.
…Awright, let's do this thing! We're gonna see which one of us is right!
Orie: Mika? Or rather, Princess Adelheid…? (Hmm… Most suspicious. I'm ninety-nine percent sure she's lying, but with her, there's always that last one percent chance…)
You leave me with no choice. Even if you are the real Princess Adelheid, the final Night is an exceptional situation indeed. I'm sure this won't count as impropriety on my part.
The winner will carry out their conviction… so I must give it my all and win!
Final Stage[]
Orie: The Abyss should lie straight ahead… Are you sure you want to go alone, Princess Adelheid?
Mika: Ha ha ha! No sweat! Knock knock! Who's there? Mika-- Um, I mean… Princess Adelheid has come to call!
Orie: …
(Kuon appears)
Kuon: It seems that the Night's guest of honor has arrived. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kuon.
I am the architect of the plan to unleash the Immortalize upon the world on this very Night… to cross beyond the wall of the Night and embrace my ultimate end. But you surprise me. You say your name is Adelheid?
Mika: Huh? You know Ade--me or something? Don't tell me we've met before…
Kuon: Adelheid, oldest and most powerful of the Re-Births… I never expected I'd meet such a venerable person here. It almost makes eternal life worth living. Now I have a great story to tell on the other side…
Mika: Y-Y-You're much too kind, sir! Please, tell away! I'm sure the boatman on the Styx will be pleased to hear it! (Phew, that was close… Good thing they've never met before…)
Kuon: You've maintained your humanity quite well. My Void appearance is a testament to my weakness compared to your vibrant, youthful body. Unless… No, I couldn't be so tactless as to finish the thought.
Mika: Wh-What, this old thing? Um, it's… It's a long story. Really, really long!
Orie: …
Kuon: I sense more power in those arms than I'd expect from one who'd lived as long as you claim. And your weak EXS is hardly becoming of a Re-Birth. I'm intrigued, but I'm afraid I can't spare any more time.
Still, you have come all the way here… No matter who you are, I'll gladly face you with all of my strength. Does that sound good to you, Princess Adelheid?
Mika: So proper! So forgiving! What a generous lord of all evil! Yeah, sounds good--why sweat the small stuff? That's the way to live! I'm gonna take you up on your offer and give you a quick beatdown!
Kuon: Excellent. Try and stop this finale with all your strength. Dwellers of the present… Adelheid's will… Children of Licht Kreis…
Epilogue[]
Kuon: I've lost… My ambition dies here… You win…
Adelheid, Princess of Licht Kreis… I'm glad to have fought you… No, just to have talked with you… before my final departure…
(Kuon dies)
Mika: …
He…
He died without knowing the truth… I mean, I know he was the bad guy and all, but I'm tasting a whole new flavor of guilt right now…
Of course I'm not Addie! Just LOOK at me! It's obvious! It was all an act I put on to trick Orie!
Ah ha ha ha! Thinking of it that way, it's his fault for falling for it so easily! You gotta get up pretty early to see through me! Women really are born actresses, especially yours truly!
(Awkward silence.)
(THUMP!)
Owww! Wh-Who did that?! You almost hit me in the face! An actress' face is her whole life! Ooh, what if that hit made me even shorter…? Wait, if I've got a bump on my head, though, that would make me taller…
Orie: You call it "acting," but I've got another word for it: fraud. So you WERE lying to me, weren't you, Mika?
Mika: Oh! Orie! You're alive?!
Orie: Alive enough to watch your battle from afar. Seriously, Mika… Of course Aeon knew you weren't Princess Adelheid the whole time.
Mika: Huh? Really?
Orie: Yes. If I hadn't heard the way he spoke, I might have been fooled myself. I'll be submitting a detailed report about this, you know. I'm sure Miss Silvaria will have plenty to say about your behavior.
Mika: N-No, not that! Anything but that! Don't do it, Orie!
Orie: On the other hand, you DID save the world, so you may have room to plead extenuating circumstances. They'll most likely pardon you, and you'll walk away with a lighter penalty. Just settle for that.
Mika: What?! "May have room"?! Hang on a sec! I had to trick you to save the whole world! It was a necessary evil! Ever heard of the Plank of Carneades?! We only had one plank! One plank, I tell you!
Orie: I'm actually surprised that YOU'VE heard of it… but it doesn't have anything to do with this. Emergency or not, there are things you cannot do.
I'll let you off the hook for now, since you just accomplished a major mission… but listen. When we get back, you'll tell Princess Adelheid and Miss Silvaria everything that happened and apologize directly.
Mika: Yippee! That's my Orie! You always know when to back off!
Orie: Sheesh… Already back on your feet, I see… Let's go home, Mika. The people you've saved are waiting for you.
-----[]
(Sometime later, in Licht Kreis HQ…)
Kaguya: I'll let you take care of this, Princess Adelheid!
Lord Adelheid (Mika): Mrrgh…
Kaguya: Oh, here's another one if you don't mind, Princess Adelheid!
Lord Adelheid: I… I can't take it anymore… I'm gonna die of overwork!
(Meanwhile…)
Silvaria: I think making her take on the Princess' duties for a while is a fitting punishment. The Princess' body is already approaching its limit, after all. Eventually we will need a proper successor…
Orie: You're right… but do you really think it should be her? Frankly, it seems… quite reckless.
Silvaria: Oh, I don't think so. Her EXS emits a very strong light… though her shadow is equally strong, which I'll admit is concerning. She must not be able to control it very well on her own yet.
From what I can see in her, I'd give it another five years… No, three years should do. In that time, she will surpass me. I think she has that much potential.
Orie: So you're serious, Miss Silvaria…?
Seriously…?
Seriously, Licht Kreis will collapse if we leave it in Mika's hands!
Silvaria: Oh my, you really think so? Well, in that case… that would be a problem for your generation, not mine.
Orie, you'll be in my position in a few years' time. Best of luck to you.
Orie: …Huh? M-Me? Me too?!
Mika's UNI2 Ending CG.
Mika: Mrrgh! I am DONE! No more deskwork, or I'm gonna pass out! Um, hello, yes, is this the Department of Labor? I'd like to report corrupt business practices! It's urgent!
