Among the blazing landscape of the first inner circle of hell, Chara continues to descend deeper into what seems to be an endless pit of grief. With knife in hand, she is determined to escape this place and finish what she started.
CHR: First thing I'm doing when I get out is showing that pink haired maniac her place!
Chara cracks her knuckles and twitches her eyebrows. Her fit of rage is interrupted by the sound of footsteps behind her. She turns around with a confused look.
CHR: Must've been my imagination.
Chara shrugs it off and continues walking. Suddenly, scorching vines spurt from the ground behind her. Chara slashes the vines into pieces.
CHR: Ya really thought I'm that dumb?
VIK: You shouldn't resist...
A woman in ragged clothing stands across the pit of lava. Chara stares her down.
CHR: Who are you supposed to be?
VIK: You're so pretty... someone like you doesn't even have to worry about looks.
CHR: (The hell's wrong with her?)
Chara charges her knife with determination and dashes towards Viktoria, slicing her in half. To her surprise, Viktoria doesn't budge. Instead, a drop of blood falls from Charas' face.
CHR: (When did she scratch my face?!)
VIK: Why does the world have favorites?! Everyone should be equal, dammit!
CHR: (Ah, she must be one of the devils I heard about!)
VIK: Young lady, my name is Viktoria, sin of greed, and I want your skin!
Viktoria launches towards Chara, swaying her jarring claws. Chara dodges and tries to go on the offensive but Viktoria won't stop attacking.
CHR: (This is bad!)
Chara blocks Viktorias' rampage of attacks and gains some distance.
CHR: You want my skin so bad?! Come and get it then!
VIK: People like you don't understand our pain!
Chara dashes towards Viktoria, who swings her claws. Chara uses ghost step to evade the attack and strike from behind.
CHR: Take this!
Chara thrusts her knife into Viktorias' back, but suddenly, numerous decaying hands grab onto Charas' arm and pull her closer.
VIK: Become one with me!
CHR: Get your disgusting hands off of me.
*BOOM*
Chara charges up her knife and explodes Viktorias' body into pieces. She starts breathing heavily, letting her guard down. Viktorias' mouth starts to mumble something.
CHR: What kind of last ditch effort is this?
VIK: Divine curse... Malformation.
Viktorias' body parts start to pile up and form a giant hill of limbs. They start to organize and a scarring creature takes form, a four legged and three armed abomination. Chara grips her knife tight and calms down her breathing.
CHR: Divine whatever, you're dead meat!
She dashes towards the behemoth and gets under its body, slicing away at its' limbs. Viktoria stomps around with her giant legs. Chara evades the monsters' attacks and jumps onto its' back, digging her knife deep into its' body. Viktoria lets out a scream of pain and swings her body around to throw Chara off. She succeeds and Chara lands in front of the giant beast.
VIK: ĦȺnđ øvɇɍ ɏøᵾɍ ƀøđɏ!
Chara raises her hands into the air, signaling surrender. Viktoria is confused by the sudden shift in battle spirit, but then realises something.
CHR: Your face says it all!
VIK: Wħɇɍɇ ɨs ɏøᵾɍ wɇȺᵽøn?!
Chara smirks menacingly. Viktoria realises her knife is stuck in the ground under its' body.
CHR: Soul Technique, Hellish Eruption!
A giant pillar of red light engulfs Viktoria, dissolving her body into ashes. Chara picks up her knife from the ground and waves goodbye.
