Noé- Vanitas look there's a village is that Saugus? It's so beautiful it somehow reminds me of Averoigne
Vanitas- hey Noé why have you been so chipper since we boarded this wagon?
Noé- me? Why have you looked like you're on deaths door?
Vanitas- I'm freezing!
Dante- hmph that's just sad
Vanitas- shut it unlike you people I'm highly sensitive person
Bianca- leave him alone Dante Vanitas snuggle up on me I'm very warm right now so come
Vanitas- thank you! Ahh you're body is so warm!
He's laying around her breast while she hugs hugs him
Only the cape
Dante- and then there was that thing with the Chassurers I wasn't satisfied til I clobbered those enhanced humans or whatever they were that worked me over
Johann- oh Dante you're so sweet you wanted to murder that heinous villain who broke my arm?
Vanitas- no doubt they're here to gather information but they likely have ulterior motives as well we'll stow our things at the inn then head to where the bodies were found I want to look for sighs of the Beast before dark
Noé- of course
Vanitas- Here in Gévaudan in the 18 century the Beast brutally ripped over 100 woman and children to shreds it's large maw wad twisted and it's ears pointed it has sharp claws and a body covered in red fur it is said to have resembled an enormous wolf
Noé- is there really such a beast here in the silver Forest?
Vanitas- it's not just a beast
Noé- what?
Bianca- a witch of tremendous power is also said to dwell here
Noé- a witch? Vanitas you believe the Beast of Gévaudan may very well be a curse bearing vampire don't you?
Vanitas- so said the legends say
Noe- then I imagine that curse bearer and witch must be connected in some manner
Vanitas- who knows? All I can say is there may be a curse bearer and that's why I'm here
Dante- wh-what was that creepy sound?
Noé- I believe that was a bird the scent of the forest air bring back memories Domi and I used to play in the forest all the time tree nuts!
Vanitas- stick close to us
Noe- look bianca they're the kind you can eat!
Bianca- Noé!
Dante- hmph you're having more fun than I thought
Vanitas- what?
Dante- with him you being who you are I thought you three would go your separate ways when things went south
Vanitas- I tried but that fool was waiting when I tried to give him the slip
Dante- what's this? Your special someone is the heroic type?
Vanitas- I will murder you baldy!
Bianca- stop fighting already
Vanitas-Johann don't let Noé out of your sight he'll vanish the monument you're not looking
Johan- I know he vanished just like that it's quite impressive
Vanitas- Noé!
Johan- oh my dear Noés nowhere to be found
It's now snowing not the forest
Dante- what the devil?! It's freezing!
Johan- on no Dante this is not good
Bianca- Vnaitas are you okay?! Shh! Someone's coming
Dante- what's with their getup?
Johan- who's "his majesty"?
Vanitas- they're dragoons during the 18tj century attacks King Louis XV ordered his dragoons to investigate sightings of the beast Antonio was the name of the kings First Musketeer
Dante- what? Hold on you make it sound like we travels back in time
Bianca- heh it seems fate has dealt us a vexing hand
Howling
Johan- I don't like this!
Bianca- it's the Beast...
Dante- it's here! The Beast of Gévaudan! What the hell?! No said it was that big! Did they killed it?
Vanitas- no
Bianca- just with one slash...
Dante- guns don't kill it?
Vanitas-it heals too fast a red eyes beast a woods witch the 18th century killings the rewinding of time we're in the past? If not then what? A malnomen? But which one?! The devil takes him why're he's have to vanish now?! Where is that idiot?!
Bianca- Vanitas! Go now! Keep running
Trips on the snow
Vanitas- Bianca!
Vaniats- Noé!
Dante- you all right chum?
Johan- there you are Sweet Noé!
Vanitas- Bianca! Jeanne! Don't kill the Beast not yet!
Bianca- we must do this
Jeanne- I failed to slay you here in Gévaudan so long ago
B/J- Now die!
Noé- Jeanne?! Why is she here?
Astolfo- The Beast of Gévaudan and taht vampires could it truly be...the Hellfire Witch?! And The First Clan of the Pink Moon?! What a splendid day this is! To think I'd bet witness not only the Beast, but Lord Ruthvens bourrea too! And Pink Moon Clan!
Johan- stay still Noé your wounds will-
Noé- no I have some fight left in me I have a scare to settle with him
Vanitas- unkot your knuckles
Noé- what?
Vanitas- that little runt is formidable? Even more than roland?
Noé- no way in hell! Roland was far more terrifying! That kid had nothing on him!
Vanitas- then why are you all beat up? Did you believe he would listen to reason like Roland? Or did you hold back because he seemed more like a little girl? Listen to me Noé you're all worked up and it's keeping you from performing at your usual level I'm the right man for this job here is the proper course of action! What?! A chasseur paladin is here?! C-c-could it be Roland the Jasper? What? It's not? It's Astolfo the Garnet? Who the heck is that? Sorry never heard of him! But what a relief! We'd have been as good as dead if it had been Roland the Jasper! But we might have a chance against a little girl! This really is good news! What? You're kidding? He's a boy? Seriously?! No way!
Astolfo- Roland? Are you saying that buffoon is better than me?
Vaniats- that was easy
Noé- um Vanitas?
Vaniats- this is my specialty you stop Bianca and Jeanne if the Beast truly is a curse Bearer that has changed form it's malnomen has yet to be discovered we can't have anyone slaying it when there they be Chasseur or a bourreau im here to save vampires aren't you?
Noé- you know I am!
Jeanne- Chloé! I know it's you!
Bianca- Chloé!
Cuts the arm on it
Jeanne- this time I will slay you!
Noé kicks Jeanne blast to the other side that cause Bianca to fall
Bianca- Noé! What did you get in the way again?!
Noe- you mustn't
Jeanne- noe?
Noe- please Bianca Jeanne don't slay the Beast Not yet you must know by now vaniats may be able to save that curse bearer
Jeanne- save her?
Jeanne gets oh him and flips him over
Bianca- Noé!
Jeanne- we cannot allow that in here as a bourreau it is my duty to execute curse bearers and if you insist on impending us I will slay you too!
Vanitas- what? Is that all you've got? The Chasseurs must really be shorthanded if they're hiding such boneheaded paladins but that's not it is it? In your case your family connections got you in Astolfo Granatum I hear the ties are strong between House Granatum and the church you must have begged your father to get where you are "please Daddy I really wanna be paladin" "isn't there something you could do?" Come one I'm dying to know how much did it cost Daddy to but your dear at the paladin table?
Astolfo- don't you dare denigrate my father!
Naenia- how delightful How very delightful! Would you mind? May I join the fun?
Bianca- Jeanne!
Noé- what's this?
Naenia place
Vanitas- Charlatan
Naenia- so we meet again Noé
Noé- Naenia
Astolfo-wh-what in heavens name is this?
Boy- big brother help me big brother
Johan- Dante don't get drawn into their world!
Vaniats- The Beast is gone where could it be?
Bianca- Jeanne calm down I'm here hold my hand!
Sees Bianca's Family
Mom, dad, brother-Bianca our darling daughter
Astolfo breaks it and almost killing Bianca but Jeanne blocks it and throws his spear but he gets his back up
Astolfo- I will kill you you and every last vampire I'll slaughter all of you!
Vaniats comes and save Bianca
Bianca- Vanitas!
Kicks him
Vanitas- I'm sick of this let's end this Bianca
Bianca- yes!
B/V- let's put an end to this revolving spectacle
Some sharp weapon breaks the chains of the Book of Vanitas
