Sophie, Siegfried, and Rosika found out that the murder cases might have something to do with a werewolf named Batista. However, to learn more, they needed information.
Sophie: "So these are the other victims."
Siegfried: "Hmm... I see."
Rosika: "Oh no... those poor people..."
Sophie: "And these were registered as vampire attacks."
Police Officer: "Yes."
Sophie: "Change it to werewolf attacks. These were caused by werewolves."
Police Officer: "Ugh... Are you sure?"
Sophie: "Yes."
Police Officer: "Okay."
He walked away.
Sophie: "Hahh... Good. At least now the police know it wasn't a vampire..."
Siegfried: "An important step."
Rosika: "Yes."
Sophie: "Good, then let's hope this prevents more victims."
Siegfried: "Yeah."
Rosika: "I hope so too."
Siegfried: "Okay... and how do we proceed?... How are we supposed to find this werewolf?"
(Meanwhile)
(Splash!)
Unknown Woman: "No... Please... Batista, wait."
(Splash!)
Her body was torn open.
Batista: "....How dare you call me by my name... Have you ever heard that walls have ears? For you, my name is Zero..."
He stood up. The women were trembling.
Batista: "Now... you have heard my real name. You have a choice... Either you marry me... or I kill you. I am kind enough to tell you what you should do if you also become one of my women. First, I have a total of 40 women. Second... your bodies are only for me. If I say show me your body, I don't want to hear no. I want to hear yes. Third... whether you want it or not, if I feel like it... well... when I want to have that kind of fun... I don't want a no. Your bodies belong to me, and you should be happy to have the honor of becoming a part of me..."
He sat down on the chair.
Batista: "You decide."
Woman: "...Um... excuse me... may I ask something?"
Batista: "Of course... what is it, sweetheart?"
Woman: "Well... will we get protection from you? Food... or supplies?"
Batista: "Hmm? Of course. You will eat what I eat."
He threw the woman's body.
Batista: "Human flesh."
Woman: "What... I can't..."
(Splash!)
He kicked her face away.
Batista: "There is no no with me... Go... eat it!!"
The women hesitated.
Batista: "...As you wish."
(Some minutes later)
Hotel Worker: "Hello... Hello? Dear guest?"
She opened the door.
Hotel Worker: "Dear... gue... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhh!"
A pile of body parts and corpses.
Batista: "...Hmph... Why can't women simply be happy that I am being so kind and giving them the honor of becoming my... whores? Hmm?"
He noticed two women... Sophie and Rosika.
Batista: "Hehehe... Two beautiful women... Hey, wait a moment... I know that bandage. The Dark Umbrella... hehe... That reminds me of the white haired boy and woman... Marcus... yes, that was the boy's name... The girl... Fiona... hehe... I gave her a very nasty wound on her waist. I have to say... those two women there... hehe... they smell delicious."
Siegfried: "Hmm?"
Siegfried looked at him.
Batista: "Ugh... (Impossible... that look... did he notice me? How? I hid my entire wolf aura.) (There is something wrong with this boy.)"
Siegfried: "Hmph."
Rosika: "Is something wrong?"
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Siegfried: "I just have a strange feeling about this guy."
Sophie: "The guy with the stab wounds?... Don't be so mean. The poor man might need help. Hey, sir."
Batista: "Hmm?"
Sophie: "Are you okay? Can I help you?"
Batista: "No... Why are you asking?"
Sophie: "Oh... ah... because you were looking at us."
Batista: "Oh... sorry. Well, I wanted to ask something... Are you searching for something?"
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Batista: "You are Dark Umbrella detectives... hehe... I know a little about you. Tell me... are you searching for something? Maybe a clue about the werewolf."
Sophie: "Ugh... you know?"
Siegfried: "Who are you?"
Batista: "Well... I am a... werewolf myself."
Sophie: "Ugh..."
Batista: "Since I already told you... that means I am no longer a suspect... hehe. I am not stupid... or blind... unlike this foolish woman here."
Rosika: "Ugh."
Sophie: "Who are you calling a foolish woman, you asshole?"
Siegfried: "No, Sophie, wait... Don't pick a fight with him..."
Batista: "Hehehe... You cannot attack me. I am not old enough for these attacks. The one responsible for these attacks... is an old werewolf who loses control..."
Sophie: "We are searching for Batista."
Batista: "Me?"
Sophie: "Ugh... hmm... so it is you..."
She pulled out her weapon.
Batista: "Put the weapon away. Otherwise people will see this differently. Doing it in the middle of a crowd is not a good idea."
Sophie: "How is this possible... Werewolves shouldn't be able to use magic..."
Batista: "Hmm... If you are truly searching for a werewolf... and you have a... blind woman?"
He walked slowly toward her.
Batista: "...Hmph... Women like you... I call worthless."
Siegfried: "Hey..."
Siegfried stood in front of him.
Siegfried: "...One more word about her... and you are dead."
Batista: "Hmm... I knew it, boy... You have a very strong curse. I can feel it... I can smell it. That is why you noticed my eyes. I will tell you something... If you are searching for the werewolf, find him at the corner of Esperedo Street."
He walked away.
Batista: "Ah... before that... I wanted to ask... Are those two white haired people still with you? The boy was named Marcus and the woman was... Fiona."
Sophie: "Ugh... how do you know those two?"
Batista: "Of course I know them. I gave Marcus the wound on his back... hehe... and Fiona the wound on her waist."
Sophie: "Ugh..."
Siegfried: "Ugh... even Marcus... how strong is this guy?"
Batista: "Anyway... I am leaving now. Take care of the blind one... hehe... maybe buy her a walking stick, otherwise she might trip."
Siegfried: "Hmm."
Rosika: "Ghh..."
Suddenly, thorns attacked him.
Batista: "Hmm? Ugh."
They held him.
Sophie: "Did you really think we would just let you leave?"
Batista: "What is this? I have nothing to do with the murders."
Siegfried: "You are even dumber than I thought... How the hell did you think coming to us was a good idea? Do you think you are that strong?"
Batista: "Hehehe... Do you really want to do this in front of the people?"
Sophie: "What are you looking at? Run!"
The people moved away.
Batista: "...I will say it again... I have nothing to do with the murders. Well... some things, but not the ones you are investigating."
He freed himself.
(Crack)
Rosika: "Ow."
Siegfried: "Ugh."
Batista: "You little bitch!"
He attacked her, but Siegfried quickly pushed them away.
Siegfried: "Ghhh..."
He pulled out his daggers and blocked the attack.
Batista: "Well, aren't you a brave gentleman..."
He kicked him away.
Batista: "Hahh... but you have no chance against me, worm... ugh."
(Pump!) (Pump!)
Marcus: ".....Well, look at that... It was really true... you are here."
He turned around.
Sophie: "Ugh... Marcus?"
Marcus: "Sophie? What are you doing here? Are you also searching for the..."
Batista: "Marcus..."
Marcus: "Finally I found you... After six years... You bastard... You thought I would never find you?"
Batista: "Hahh... Even back then you couldn't defeat me."
Sophie: "Idiot."
Batista: "Huh?"
Sophie: "Marcus is only 20 years old... That means he was 14 when you injured him."
Batista: "Huh?"
(Splash!)
Marcus: "Exactly..."
His hand was thrown forward.
Batista: "Aaaaaaarghhhh... wait, wait... I have nothing to do with this... really..."
Sophie: "Who is the werewolf responsible for these actions?"
Batista: "I told you... go to Esperedo Street... he lives there... I don't know more."
Marcus: "Look at what kind of werewolf he really is... He only attacks younger people, but as soon as he gets hurt... he screams like a child."
Batista: "I am sorry... really... Please let me go."
Marcus: "You became arrogant, Batista. You were so good at hiding... but like always, you love annoying Dark Umbrella members when you find them. Unfortunately for you... you did it today while I was nearby. Six years of searching for you... and then you get caught because of your own stupidity."
(Splash!)
He cut his other hand.
Batista: "Aaaaaaarghhh..."
Marcus: "Alright... you are coming with me. Dark Umbrella does not want to kill you. They want to perform experiments on you. Hahh... be happy, John Titor will have fun. He was the one who asked Dark Umbrella to find you. And I am telling you now... that guy is completely insane."
He tied him up.
Sophie: "...That was... somehow disappointing."
Siegfried: "Yeah... that's it?"
Rosika: "...Hahh."
Marcus: "He was never strong. He was only good at hiding because of his ability. And honestly, I searched for him only in my free time. This guy is not worth a mission from Dark Umbrella. He only runs away and searches for... women. Good... come on."
He took him away.
Sophie: "...Hahh... this is boring. I thought we already found the next crazy villain, but... this guy was just an idiot who only thought he was cool and smart... I hoped the wolf we were searching for would have more... well... more honor and more intelligence..."
Siegfried: "Hmm... Strange... It almost sounds like he wanted to get captured."
Sophie: "Huh?"
Rosika: "Yes, that's true... His pain and even his screams sounded like he was exaggerating."
(Meanwhile)
Marcus: "Hmm..."
Batista: "Hehehehehe... You idiot..."
Marcus: "Hmm?"
Batista: "You noticed it, didn't you?"
Marcus: "That I intentionally wanted to be captured? Yes... but why?"
Batista: "Hahh... Let's just say... it is safer from the black hole if I am with you, right?"
Marcus: "You are a clever coward."
Batista: "Hehehe... Of course."
Marcus: "But you survived the black hole, so why?"
Batista: "Yes... that is true. Let's say... Marta is awake now... and for us werewolves, it is no longer safe."
Marcus: "Werewolves are stronger than vampires."
Batista: "Yes... that is true. But what you probably don't know, my friend, is that there will be another... vampire and wolf hunt. And I don't want to experience what happened centuries ago again. I just want peace."
Marcus: "Your peace?... John Titor will make you miss it."
Batista: "Hmm?... Wait... what exactly does he plan to do with me? I can tell you how to survive a torture."
Marcus: "No. John Titor doesn't like things that way. He will probably... torture you... and try everything on you... Hmph... You are such an asshole if you really thought you would be safe with Dark Umbrella and John Titor."
Batista: "Ugh... Do I at least get food?"
Marcus: "No idea. I suggest you just try to talk with John Titor."
