This life-form has passed safety parameters.
The life-form exists solely to increase destructive energies.
The life-forms are amassing negative energies.
Until a life-form produces positive energies...
...we will continue extermination.
The will to fight is rooted in this planet's life-forms.
This evolution has failed once again.
All will be exterminated. All life-forms to be exterminated.
My body was created in space...
...and eventually I became a being of psychic-energy ambition!
My radiant body can now melt the heavens.
I am now capable of vaporizing an entire world in moments.
However, this "Earth" offers me something I have long forgotten...
...BATTLE!
Bloody combat practiced only by the lowest of sub creatures.
Would you have it be the means of your destruction?
Lord Demitri, this guest lacks a certain breeding.
We might be forced to forget our manners as well.
You will forgive me if I leave the roughhousing to you.
There is no need for worry.
It is unsightly for my noble powers to see defeat a second time.
The Huitzil tell me that you are the strongest opponent on this world.
Do I expect too much of you?
You would regret underestimating the power of the Demon World!
"Power of the Demon World"?
Your so-called "power" is barely sport for me!
My power is the greatest in the universe!
Is this the best the Earth has to offer?
Must I be disappointed?
Huitzil! Was this is the enemy I needed to destroy?
When I came to Earth...
...I heard its life-forms had evolved into beings so powerful...
...that killer robots were dispatched to halt their development.
Thus, my great expectation...
...this planet would provide a victory greater than I ever experienced!
I will admit there is a certain level...
...of combat to be found here.
But not a one, as yet, has been able to satisfy me.
Life-forms need not fight.
Peaceful coexistence creates natural balance.
You have overseen the history of this world, but you've made a mistake.
I am the ultimate form of this world's evolution!
Through battle the weak are weeded out, and only the strong survive!
Such is evolution!
So long as you unnatural robots exist...
...the true ruler for this world can never be born!
Whenever battle and war become prevalent...
...life must be exterminated.
The will to fight is not a prerogative of life.
This Earth has no need for a destroyer.
How unexpected! Demitri Maximoff defeated!
What manner of creature has descended upon the Human World?
We believe it has come from space.
Its battle with Demitri...
...and the defeat of the robots we thought were its minions...
...shows a strength and combat ability far greater than anything we've seen.
Some great power has descended from someplace...
...outside the Demon World.
It is destroying the most powerful Darkstalkers...
...of the Human World.
Eventually, it will find its way to the Demon World.
We are all aware of the power struggle in the Demon World's ruling family.
But considering the present threat...
...we must put aside our internal rifts.
For this reason, I've called you here today.
We of the Aensland family have a proposal!
One which will bring the families together against this being.
What say you all?
"A power struggle in the Demon World's ruling family"?
You're implying all our needs aren't met...
...under the Aensland family's dictatorship?
"Dictatorship"?
We are but minor houses of petty nobility.
The great house of Aensland...
...can meet this threat on their own.
Our houses hope for your success.
Indeed, the Lady Morrigan of House Aensland...
...can see victory with ease.
She is the greatest warrior the Demon World has yet to produce!
We humbly beseech you, Dear Lady, to use your strength in our defense!
They're trying to push it all onto her! The filthy cowards!
They're hoping she'll be defeated!
What news?
Enemy forces are surrounding Aensland territory!
The other families are preparing to launch their own attacks on us!
That means we cannot send forces to the Human World.
Can't those fools see their own danger?
We must have a cease-fire!
The enemy is right outside our walls!
Won't that force the others into our alliance?
The enemy may be from the other houses!
We're tied down here! One move could mean our destruction!
The Human World may be in danger.
But our hands are tied with problems in the Demon World!
Mistress, we ask that you show restraint!
Everyone says this enemy is strong and the greatest battle of my life awaits.
That's all I've ever asked of the world.
That's all the denizens of the Demon World have ever asked!
Since when has the Demon World become so weak?
Even Demitri Maximoff has shown more courage.
Insolence! How dare you?
Forgive me, and let me descend to the Human World.
It's useless to try to stop you.
Leave things here in the Demon World to us.
If you feel yourself in danger, please return.
We beg of you, Lady Morrigan!
Now, if you'll excuse our actions...
...until our Mistress returns from the Human World...
Remain still. We may be old...
...but we Aensland bastards can be ill tempered.
We'll work out the details, but you will cooperate with us.
W-What is this?
Professor! The five suns have stopped!
Yes, this city is the source of all our troubles.
Burn it to the ground! We'll never purify our land unless we do!
Fire!
What's going on?
The city's on fire.
What was that?
We believe it was the power of a Darkstalker.
A man? Isn't that a human?
Stop it!
There are still people here who've yet to escape the Sun's attacks!
Stop these indiscriminate blasts!
The Dark has taken root here. The only cure is to burn it away!
Burn away the Dark?
I just told you, there are still humans down here!
The humans of this land have had too much contact with the Dark.
The bodies of the people are tainted with its corruption.
Weak humans are nothing but tools to the Dark!
They fall victim to its power!
The Dark takes over human bodies and taints the blood.
All humans who have had contact with the Dark must be burned.
How else are we to preserve the race?
Now, he isn't running. Can it be he means to stay?
If he has been corrupted by the Dark, he will oppose us.
If he is not corrupted, he will want our help.
But which one is he?
I was born in the union of human blood and the Dark.
What?
By destroying all that is Dark...
...I begin to find meaning in my human existence.
"Meaning"? If you were truly human, you'd refuse to go on living.
You tainted creatures, are we to pity you?
Are we to sympathize with your "destiny" to battle the Dark?
Perhaps you need justification!
Perhaps you cannot live among humans...
...without being willing to battle the Dark.
The choice was your own.
As scientists, we are taught to accept...
...only verifiable truths.
And as scientists we have verified the existence of God!
God has made contact with man and delivered us a new truth!
"Humans Must Hate the Dark!"
This is the word of God...
...and it is the only path we may follow!
That is not a god!
You're probably too dense to understand it.
That light isn't a god!
It's a demon we've been chasing forever!
A demon that toys with humans worse than any Dark One ever did!
Donovan, let's go. We're just wasting our time on them!
Donovan.
We will burn all of this land!
Too bad this is the only land in which you can live!
Too bad you can only find truth through your "battles"!
When you kill everything, all that is Dark...
...then you will kill all the humans...
...and finally you tainted ones will find your truth.
It is a harsh truth, but it is uniquely yours.
"A truth uniquely mine."
A harsh truth for me alone!
- Sis, let's go! - But Donovan...
Let's go!
I hope you find it, Donovan. Find a way to live your life.
Strange.
I thought I could only be attracted to a strong man.
And here I came to see a loser.
That is because you must sense that you are my future.
Your future?
I shall become king over all the Demon World.
You may be right.
You accept it?
The Dark is stagnant.
Only change can save us.
The humans have a will to fight, without even a trace of pretense.
Sis, get back! Here goes!
Hsien-ko! Are you all right?
Damn, he's tough!
Sis, what'll we do? None of our attacks are getting through!
- Sis, go on without me. - Don't be ridiculous.
But we're losing! We gotta do something!
Anita!
Anita, don't do it! Get away!
Donovan!
You're weak!
So very weak!
What is it that keeps me fighting?
What is it about me?
Sis! There's something wrong with Donovan!
No matter how he fights the Dark, his Dark blood will never be cleansed.
So long as he has it, the humans will never accept him as one of them.
They'll never believe he hates the Dark... not ever.
It is his sad destiny. Half his blood is that of the cursed Dark.
But his failure to accept that robs him of what would otherwise be his strength.
Enough! What sport is there in so pathetic an opponent?
So please, disappear from my sight!
- Donovan! - Donovan!
Exterminate everything.
Return status to zero.
These life-forms will produce a ruler eventually.
But how can they live with so few evolutionary advances!
I've never seen such a backsliding mud hole of life-forms!
Earth is boring! The most boring planet I've yet seen!
Be gone, boring planet.
Be gone, and plague Pyron no more!
Of those to be exterminated...
...Pyron must be disposed of first.
T-The suns... The suns...
O Lord, why have you forsaken us?
To prevent one such as Pyron evolving...
...we must continue to exterminate all life-forms.
There is no need for life-forms to fight.
Peaceful coexistence creates natural balance.
Exterminate. All life-forms which do battle are to be exterminated.
What a pathetic program!
What need can there be to promote the theories of the weak?
Huitzil, be gone!
Depart. Depart from the Earth.
"Exterminate." That, Huitzil, is a program for which you are well-suited.
The body may be destroyed.
But the program will continue.
Such is the will of the Creator.
Young one, why must you torture yourself so?
What can you achieve through your pain?
This place is a sanctuary where the Dark and the humans may come to live.
A hidden valley where those rejected by Dark and the humans...
...may live in peace.
Life may not be easy...
...but it's a life where we can be accepted for what we are.
That is what is important.
We were born, but we weren't born a part of the world!
That's right! And now we have to live in this hole!
We weren't born this way because we asked for it!
The young ones speak the only truth they know.
Their words may make you uncomfortable...
...but their words are their own.
You insist on removing yourself from the world.
But that is not the way of this valley.
Humans run from the Dark.
Yet the people of this valley also run, gathering here like refuse.
Why must we hide in the shadows of man as though we're unclean?
We, too, have a right to live!
This place is known as the "Tainted Valley."
The humans try to rid themselves of those they feel tainted by the Dark.
As if by hiding us, we no longer exist.
This is the only way the humans can think of to make the Dark disappear.
So they remove us.
Perhaps it is the last vestige of their pride.
Do not pretend! Do not continue to hide!
Speak your mind!
All of us in this valley wish to live as humans.
Yet the price is too high for those who accept the label "outcast."
Why must we do so?
I am not immune to desire.
But that desire becomes anger, and that anger wants to destroy the Dark.
That anger wishes to destroy the humans who hate my tainted blood!
There is nothing wrong with torturing myself!
I am trying to kill mankind!
Did he say "kill mankind"? That makes him a murderer!
Murderer!
W-What am I to do with my anger?
Your impulse to kill humans causes you doubts.
This is the root of your self-torture.
Listen. This doubt of yours...
...is the sign of a human heart!
Can you not come to love that heart of yours?
And so I go forth to resume my proper place as ruler of the Demon World.
Even the greatest of kings die.
I shall show them such a fight, even my enemies shall sing of it.
What is it, Morrigan?
I feel it.
I never thought there was such a "will" in the Human World.
What "will"?
Demitri? Why not let the humans fight this battle?
I sense a "will" which must not lose.
An innocent soul, just now born.
Donovan! Don't give up!
Sis, it's no good. He's just too wounded to...
He can't... He can't bleed like this!
Even if it is Dark, it's Donovan's blood!
Donovan isn't dirty!
Donovan's soul isn't dirty at all!
His wounds are healed! His body is back to normal!
That's Anita's power!
To hate oneself, or to love oneself...
...thoroughly, and with humility.
Then can one love others.
Intolerable!
Why must the Ruler of the Universe be bothered with this pathetic planet?
What made me do so foolish a thing?
Foolishness comes from within oneself.
The only true battle is the one with oneself.
To search for justification in others is the act of a fool.
My soul is often in doubt, and yet it holds my salvation!
Your first enemy is the one within!
"The enemy within"?
What nonsense is this? What enemy?
I know everything in the universe!
What is it you say I cannot understand?
That universe inside you is the one that is forever beyond you.
What are you saying? What universe?
The path I follow may lead me into the labyrinth of the Dark.
And yet I do not fear, for the Earth gives me its strength...
...and the sun comforts me with its warm embrace.
"Can I not come to love my own heart"?
I can.
I can love my heart.
And Anita...
...I can love you as well.
And as your frown vanishes...
...I go at last to search for...
...a truth uniquely mine!
It is possible that the Earth may be damaged...
...by the extermination of life-forms.
So program has been temporarily paused.
Must reevaluate evolutionary perimeters...
...find new extermination target...
...and reinstate program.
