[Battle concluded. Architect severely weakened again.]

Architect: Humph...
Finally, a hit that actually feels stronger than an itch...
But you only pulled that off by being sneaky, right?

M4A1: At least this time… we made you admit you’re struggling.
Even you’d find it taxing to handle two separate forces, one just causing nuisance and the other actually doing the infiltration?

Architect: However…this isn’t enough to pin me down…
My ability to recuperate...far surpasses the speed of your reinforcement..
Not to mention you still have to dedicate resources to searching for the AI core, which makes it impossible for you!

M4A1: Are you sure?
We don’t actually need to find it…
All we have to do…is destroy everything.

[...BOOM!]
[A chain of explosions can be heard from underneath the command post.]

Architect: …!!
What…what have you done?!

Colt Revolver: M4A1! Detonation successful!
The explosion will reach ground level in about three minutes!

Architect: …
How...how come there’s another echelon?!

M4A1: Have you caught on, Architect?
The two echelons you were fighting against are both baits.
The task force that’s blowing up your base is the one with the real objective.
Since we don’t have the resources to multitask, we’re leaving that to you.
SAA, your mission is complete. Withdraw immediately.
M99 will cover you from a distance. Rendezvous with my echelon ASAP.

Colt Revolver: Roger that! I’m making my way to above ground!

[...]

Architect: Not… again...
I actually lost to you again...
This is simply...
Hehehehe…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Spectacular! This is truly spectacular!
And here I thought I’d run out of exhilarating adversaries after those pesky girls!

M4A1: Architect…?

Architect?: ...Architect? Where on earth is she?
That Doll you’re talking to...is merely a random body I’m controlling...
Since my own body is still being assembled, I’ve been borrowing her voice...
But now…I have no need for this anymore...
Because I…have completed my resurrection...

M4A1: So you…are the AI core that’s been directing this battle?!
SAA, run! Get out of there now!

Colt Revolver: I! Am! Running!
But there are so many of them! I’m still looking for a chance to break through!

???: You thought you were the one in control of the fight this whole time, M4A1?
You’re not the only one who planned on buying time. I’ve been holding back and going around in circles with you just for this moment...
So, M4A1, it’s time we officially made each other’s acquaintance...

M4A1: Who…exactly are you?!

???: Me…?
I’m…merely a ghost from the past...
Ouroboros: Sangvis Ferri Manufacture SP235, also known as Ouroboros.
There was a time when I was a failure who had been betrayed and humiliated…
But now, I’m a monster forged by your own hand....
Thank you for playing a part in my vengeance. In return, I will tear you limb from limb, electronic nerve from electronic nerve myself…
Until your neural cloud is overloaded by the word “terror”. That’s when I’ll give you permission to die!

M4A1: Ouroboros…
The Sangvis Ringleader...who was destroyed in a clandestine night op...

Ouroboros: Miss M4A1, I’ve really been enjoying your performance.
So do give me another taste. I would love to see more of your faces…
Such as…the one you’ll make…when you lose another friend...

[Boom!]

Colt Revolver: Whoa! W-where the hell did you come from?!

M4A1: SAA!!

[Boom!]

Colt Revolver: C...cough...

Ouroboros: A small one… Perfect for an appetizer...
Now tell me, between me and this sea of fire, which one do you find more frightening?

Colt Revolver: M…M4...

Ouroboros: Or perhaps...
...Both?
