Stories Untold
In able for us to understand the story, we have to
first understand what really happened 1000 years before the time in
which Trinity Blood was set. The late author was able to leave
scrapbooks and notes behind, which allowed us to see how he would
have wanted the story to end.
It was around the year 2080, when the earth was experiencing a
population boom. The earth already reached a population of 12
billion, and humans are finding it hard to allocate resources.
Because of this, the United Nations decided to start a project that
aimed to build colonies in Mars. They called this "The Red Mars
Project" in which the whole world also participated.
Upon the arrival of the first batch of people in Mars, they
discovered this strange, alien artifact. Soon, they found out that
this artifact was indeed left by aliens long ago, and that it
contained a very advanced technology, which they called
"Bachilus/Bacillus". This Bachilus/Bacillus is actually a
nanomachine, in which can be integrated into the body. It allows
that person's body to adapt to the harsher conditions of mars. The
colonies decided to integrate this into their bodies, of course and
gave them the ability to survive the Martian environment. In a
sense, they became better than an ordinary human living in
earth.
Because of this, the world became very much interested in the
Bachilus/Bacillus. Everyone wanted to be able to integrate such
things into their bodies as well. Thus, the Armageddon started.
This left earth in a devastated state, wherein most of the world
was destroyed by nuclear weapons. Only the continent of Europe was
left, as it was mostly affected by biological weapons, hence even
cathedrals were left standing. The human race was close to
extinction. (This occurred around 2100 AD-ish)
When the first batch of human colonizers from Mars decided to
return to earth (they were referred to as "returners") to try and
see what has happened after the Armageddon, they found out that the
earth was a wreck, and all technology that civilization has
achieved was lost to the war. They helped the humans rebuild what
was left. Life returned to the old days, a reminiscent of the
medieval ages. Of course, these "Returners" have the
Bachilus/Bacillus in their blood, so they are in effect, stronger
and has a lifespan of 300 years.
The second batch of returners came and they were very much against
the human race, and this brought about a conflict, which almost
left the humans crippled. The returners did initially have the
advantage. A war broke out between the returners and the humans.
This time came to be known as the "Dark ages". However, something
occurred to the Bachilus/Bacillus. Because of the difference in the
various conditions between earth and mars, the Bachilus/Bacillus
has somehow mutated into something that consumes it's host's red
blood cells. This brought about the need for blood of the host.
Another effect was that they became very sensitive to the UV rays
from the sun, hence they are unable to wander about during
daytime.
When the human race was losing hope, this Bachilus/Bacillus
mutation gave an advantage to them. With the help of the "good
returners", they were able to drive the rebel returners to eastern
Europe, hence at the setting of the Trinity Blood story, humans are
living in western Europe, and the vampires, in eastern Europe. Some
returners inhabit western Europe, but these are the ones on the
human's side, or those that were unable to flee to eastern Europe
during the war.
The time where Trinity Blood was set was the time after this
war...
The Test tube babies were created solely to be in
charge of the Red Mars Project when the colonizers will be in Mars.
They were genetically modified beings and age 1.5 times slower than
a normal human being. Lilith Sahl was born in South Asia, Cain in
Berlin, Abel in London and Seth in America. (thought it was
Canada?).
Another 100,000 people were sent to Mars, though their purpose is
not to live there but, rather to prepare the Martian terrain for
human inhabitants. At one point, several colonizers did not like
their leader, Abel Nightroad for some reason. They plotted against
him and they decided to lure him out of safe human grounds into the
Martian wilderness. He was left alone and he was about to die as he
was running out of oxygen, and only Lilith, came, in a car, to save
him. However, Lilith's car broke down so they are both in danger.
This is when they found a strange space ship and decided to explore
it. The space ship saved them somehow from dying in the Martian
terrains.
In the space ship, they found dead, preserved bodies of aliens.
Some bodies seem to more preserved than others, in particular, the
bodies of what seem to be the aliens with a high-ranking position.
Their technology level seems to be extremely high as well, higher
than that of Earth. This space craft came to be known as "The Ark".
People took and examined the alien bodies. Seth was the one who
discovered the Bacillus (Kudorak?) and another type of Bacillus
which has a cross-shape, which she called "Crusnik". It is so much
harder to 'grow' these Crusniks, so much more difficult than
growing the normal Bacillus. They failed many times trying to grow
these things.
There was a terrible incident in which Cain and another Colonizer
had an accident during one of the project works. They were at dying
point. Seth decided to inject them both with the Crusnik, in an
attempt to save them. However, instead of saving them, it killed
them both. Cain actually died... but after a while, however, Cain
just suddenly stood up and became alive again. The other colonizer
however, remained dead.
They also came to discover that the Crusnik only seems to be
compatible with the genetically-modified humans (namely Seth,
Lilith, Cain and Abel), so they froze the Crusnik to keep it and
decided to mass-produce the normal Bacillus for the other
colonizers.
Because the space ship discovery had such high technology, every
other country wanted to gain possession of it. Among the colonizers
were representatives of each country, and they all want to be the
one in charge of the space ship. This started a Martian civil war,
which eventually destroyed their space ship to return home, as well
as their communication with earth.
Meanwhile, on earth, Armageddon is also happening for more or less
the same reasons.
The Martians decided to build another spacecraft to return home,
and this took well over 80 years. They modeled this spacecraft with
"The Ark".
The returners called their spacecraft "The Ark"
as it was modeled after the Ark that they found on Mars. They
successfully returned to Earth and found it in such a devastated
state. The returners vowed to help their "fellow" human beings upon
seeing this.
They looked for a relatively unpolluted place, which was Europe and
some surrounding area. They parked their spacecraft above an
African mountain (?). They created a lift/elevator from the Ark to
the top of the mountain.
After a while, something happened to the Bacillus in their blood
(as was explained earlier), perhaps because the Earth is closer to
the sun than to Mars, and it increased their activity somehow.
This, of course produced the symptoms of vampirism. The returners
were killing earthlings, in as much as they don't want to. This
created the rift between the earth inhabitants and the
returners.
At this point, Cain had already fused his mind, 100% with the
Crusnik and he started to want to destroy the world.
All the Nightlord siblings were on the returner's side apart from
Lilith. They used their Crusnik power against the earth
inhabitants. This literally killed millions and millions of people.
Lilith got extremely upset because of this and she wanted to help
the earth inhabitants. She then decided to fuse herself with the
Crusnik and became Crusnik 04.
She went down and helped the earth inhabitants, she made contact
with Grigori (number?), the current Vatican pope at that time. She
gave them technology and supplied electricity to Budapest, Istvan
etc. She commanded an army, which encountered a battle with Seth,
Cain and Abel's army in Paris, in which the three Nightlord
siblings lost to her. At this point, Lilith and the earth people
were winning.
Cain told Abel and Seth that he wanted to make peace and would like
to talk to Lilith. In fact, he just really wanted to kill her.
Lilith descended up the Ark to meet Cain, only to find out she was
about to be killed. They battled for a while, Cain was heavily
wounded during the incident, but Lillith was dead.
Abel found out about the lie that Cain did and that he had killed
Lililth, and suddenly went berserk. He threw Cain out of the Ark
and started destroying the Ark. Taking Lilith's body down to earth,
he was taken in by the Vatican.
Lilith was buried in an underground cemetery in Rome. Abel guarded
her tomb for 900 years from then on.
Crusnik Nanomachine
The Crusnik Nanomachine was a very high form of technology that was
created billions of years ago by an intelligent life form. However,
this Crusnik Nanomachine eventually destroyed the race that created
it. After this, it traveled through space. Through time, it has
encountered other intelligent life forms, which it infected.
However, it eventually destroyed the bodies of their hosts and they
use these bodies, together with their spacecrafts and used it to
travel through space. They crash landed in mars and that is how the
early colonizers found it.
The early colonizers actually found two types of Nanomachine, the
Crusnik and the Bacillus. They assumed that the Crusnik is another
type of Bacillus and they decided to integrate these nanomachines
into their Leaders. The truth is, The Crusnik created the Bacillus
to serve as their food. They are able to change the form of atoms,
hence they have such abilities.
At this point, one can understand why both Seth and Abel do not
wish to release these Crusnik nanomachine to a full 100%. Abel is
aware that once this happens, these nanomachines could take over
him totally, and they are bent set on destruction. Indeed, it is
very dangerous.
BACILLUS
For hundreds of years, the real distinction between a Terran and
Methuselah has long been forgotten. The truth is, the Methuselah is
just a Terran who happens to be infected with a Bacillus. In the
past, this Bacillus would turn an infected into a "monster" or
animal hungry for blood, nevertheless the Methuselahs refuse to be
called "vampires". The term "Methuselah" was taken from Noah's
grandfather who was rumored to have lived for 900+ years. Not all
people however are compatible with the Bacillus. If for instance,
if you get bitten by a vampire and the Bacillus enters your
bloodstream somehow, you do not necessarily turn into one. In fact,
the likelihood is you either get your brain damaged, the Bacillus
in your blood will be dormant and act as red blood cells or some
other form of reaction.
Truth is, there are different reactions among people who are
infected with the Bacillus. It needs to be "awakened" in order for
its effect to take place. When it lies in your blood and is
dormant, it looks and acts like a normal red blood cell. A
Methuselah may be able to walk under the sun and use silver at this
point. This is the reason why these vampires have a memory of being
under the sun and being able to eat using silver utensils. When the
Bacillus awakens, it starts it's effects in the body. There are
several main effects of the Bacillus awakening; Sensitivity to
sunray, slowing down of the aging process, reaction towards silver
and repressed reproductive system. These effects could happen over
a period of time, or it could just happen in one go.
UV Light
UV Light increases the activity of the Bacillus in the infected's
blood stream. It increases their activity so much, to the point
that the Bacillus consumes everything in its path. This gives the
image of a vampire, who is subjected to exposure under UV light, of
"burning". The truth is, the Bacillus is just eating every single
cell in the vampire's body. You could say that the Bacillus is
consuming the vampire from the inside. The smoke coming out of an
event such as this is caused by water vapour brought about by this
chemical reaction, and not because the vampire is burning. An event
such as this will only leave the bones of the vampire, looking as
if it has been licked clean, and removed of it's bone marrow. When
the Bacillus finally consumes everything, it consumes one another
until they are annihilated.
Silver
Silver temporarily stops the activity of the Bacillus. This means
that once it reacts with the Bacillus, it renders them useless, and
hence the vampire becomes more of a human. The silver does not kill
in itself, it is the fact that the vampire becomes more of a human,
that stab or shot on the vital organs will obviously be fatal. Some
vampires drink liquid silver in order for them to temporarily walk
under the sun. This liquid silver is made such that it minimizes
the discomfort on the consumer's part.
Reproductive System
Another effect of being infected with the Bacillus is the
repression of their reproductive system. If a human male being has
intercourse with a female vampire, though she is less likely to be
pregnant, her offspring will become a vampire. However, if a human
female has intercourse with a male vampire, the offspring will just
be a normal human. This is true unless the human female turns into
a vampire during such intercourse, through the exchange of bodily
fluids.

Characters
Translated by: reißzahn(cainknightlord@gmail.com)
& M. Yamazaki
Cain Knightlord
Cain is the elder brother of Abel and is the first to be turned
into a Crusnik, hence he is Crusnik 01. He is very intelligent and
is kind, gentle and calm. Many people loved him as he was indeed a
great leader. He oversees the whole Red Mars Project and has a rank
of a "Major" in the UN (UNASF? I'll double-check).
However, deep in his heart, he has a hatred for humanity. He hated
humanity for creating him and his beloved siblings, solely for the
purpose of the Red Mars Project. He felt like a tool and he feels
sorry for all the four of them. He died once in the story, though
nobody is really sure exactly what happened to him. When he fused
his mind with the Crusnik nanomachines, he and those nanomachines
had the same goal, and that is to destroy the world.
He first killed Lilith and took her nanomachines (Crusnik 04) as he
was interested in them. He wanted to destroy the world, however
before this could happen, he was dropped out of the Ark by Abel,
and so, when he fell to earth, he was just a pile of ash. He
regenerated, starting from a mere pile of ash.
This had obviously decapitated him and delayed his plans on
destroying the world. Even for 900 years, he was never really fully
recovered. He can only use his body for hours at a time. He would
have to regularly go in a "status" (you know those things where
a person is in a glass tube filled with liquid) to regenerate
himself. If he uses his power, then this even further shortens the
time he can use his body. This is the reason why he did not
immediately confront Abel or Seth, otherwise, if his body was well,
he would have made a direct attempt to kill them both, and take
Crusnik 02 and 03. He was very much interested in these Crusniks.
In the past, when he was still human, he felt love as a brother for
both Seth and Abel, however this has disappeared when he turned
into a Crusnik.
As a result of Cain's handicap, he decided to lead the Rosencreutz
Orden to try and make chaos in the world. The truth is, this Orden
is meaningless to him, it meant nothing at all. With his power, he
could easily destroy the world. This is also the reason why he lets
the Orden do as they please, for him, his main priority is to
regenerate/heal himself.
Cain also wants to access the lab in Londinium, in which Abel was
created. The lab in Berlin where he was created has been destroyed
during the Armageddon. Abel wants to destroy that lab, before Cain
reaches. Cain wants to obtain the genetic information used to
create the Night lords. Isaak refers to this genetic information as
"Blue-print of the Gods". This lab is located under a Ghetto in
Londinium, where Methuselahs are not allowed to enter. It is an old
EU lab containing a very high technology.
Seth Nightlord: Augusta
Vradica
Seth is the youngest of the four genetically-modified siblings. She
is also Crusnik 03. She has a Lieutenant rank in the UNASF and she
is also the head of the Science Department.
She is childish and also idealistic. She believes in change, and
that the Methuselah is the true human. She has this idea that the
Terrans live for such a short time, therefore what they do is only
think about themselves in the present, and not in the future. This
does not mean however that she wanted to exterminate the Terrans.
She believes that the Terrans should be the Methuselah's
subordinate or workers.
She was in alliance with Cain against humanity, however when she
found out that Cain only purely wants destruction, she broke the
alliance. She realized that Cain is a very dangerous man and so she
is still searching for him.
Currently, she is trying to see how to make the Methuselah immune
to UV light and silver, which is of course a threat to
Vatican.
Abel Nightroad
Abel is one of the genetically-modified humans designed for the Red
mars Project. More or less, the same genetic information that was
used to create Cain was used to create him. He has the rank of a
Captain/Commander (?) in the UNASF. This is above Seth's, but below
Cain's.
His personality is that of very violent person, he hated people in
general, hence the people in the project hated him too. It was only
when he started having conversations with Lilith, that he became
more humane.
Upon the return of the people from the Red Mars Project to earth, a
returner was killed and attacked by accident by an earthling. This
incident made Abel go nuts (again) and he led an army
against earth inhabitants, which costed the lives of millions of
them. Only when Lilith went on the human's side, that he realized
that what he was doing was a mistake. He also felt that Lilith's
death was all his fault, hence later on he decided to atone for his
mistakes.
His perception now has changed, he believes that Terrans and
Methuselah are all equal and the same, and he believes that peace
should exist between these two. Currently, he is working as an
agent for the Vatican's AX Agency. By doing this, he believes that
it is easier for him to go on missions, as he is a priest. He won't
be treated with malice on both sides, as a priest is a personality
symbolizing peace.
Abel does not really have a religion, however, he believes in
fate.
Stand on Fighting
Abel is well-aware of the compromise he has to make whenever he
releases his nanomachine crusnik. In a way, the higher level you
release your nanomachine crusnik, the more of your consciousness
gets lost to these nanomachines. He is aware that he is always
under constant threat of being taken over by these nanomachines,
hence he tries to avoid releasing it as much as possible. Another
thing is these nanomachines also entice him to increase the level
of their release. This brings about the fact that the more strong
opponents he meets, the higher chance of him being taken over by
these nanomachines. Apart from his atonement of his sins, this may
be one of the reasons why he refuses to kill, nor fight with
anyone, as much as possible.
Stand on Cain
Though he hated Cain for killing his beloved, Lilith, he also loved
him as a brother. He believes that it was the nanomachines that
made Cain the way he is now, and he hopes that when these
nanomachines are removed from his body, he will return to the old,
normal Cain. Deep in his heart, he is also aware that this may not
be the case. Cain has inherently a destructive personality, though
it may not seem to be like that. He is aware of his hatred for
humanity for creating him, only to be used as tool for the Red Mars
Project.
Stand on Humans and Vampires
As mentioned, he believes that these two races are equal, and is
working hard to try and build peace between them. This also makes
him feel better in a way, as he felt that he was one of the people
who started the enmity between these two.
Lilith Sahl
Lilith Sahl is a prototype used for creating the Night Lord
siblings. Her rank is a Lieutenant in the UNASF, below that of
Cain, Abel and Seth. She is Crusnik 04. She is in charge of the
department of medicine/health care in the Red Mars Project. She is
also Abel's crush/love.
She is against the war of between the humans and the returners, and
in the middle of the war, she went on the earth's side. There was a
certain chapter in the novel (Descending Angel?) which described
this incident. Because she left the Ark, this has caused a major
problem. For the Ark to be controlled properly, it needs the four
Crusniks to operate it. Another problem was that she unified the
human side, which was even worse for the Returners.
Cain called Lilith up to Ark again for peace talks, before that
however... she said something to Abel.
"Abel, you seem to hate the world, but you can't. Deep inside you,
there is something different that you feel for humanity. You cannot
hate the world. You loved and you believed, but you have been
betrayed, and this is why you became the enemy of the world. It is
not to late to stop this now. Why don't you start all over again?
Please do not forget that."
At this point it seems that Lilith was already aware that she will
be killed, but these words tells of how much she cared for Abel and
believed in him.
When Cain killed Lilith, he took her nanomachines into his body.
Because his body is not used to this, it became weak and also, he
had a lower stamina. This is why it took him such a long time to
regenerate when Abel threw him into the Earth's atmosphere.
After this incident, the 3 Crusniks took a different path. Cain was
preparing himself to become the ultimate destructive force, Seth
built a empire for her and the returners. Abel, on the other hand
is continuing what Lilith would have done.
Esther Blanchett
A girl named Anna Farmer, who was a maid for the "White" family who
lives in Whitechapel knows a lot about Esther's birth. Because of
this, she was killed by Jack the Ripper,
Brother Petros came, but it was too late already as Anna was dead.
However, Jack the Ripper mentioned to Brother Petros that there is
another person who knows about Esther and this is someone named
"Michelle Lee".
Note: Whitechapel is a place in London where the
real Jack the Ripper murders occurred in the late 19th century.
Today, it is a rather rough-looking area still, but in the past, it
is pretty much a dump.
Dietrich von Lohengrin
Dietrich was born in a province in Germanicus. He was the son of a
landowner. Even at very young age, he was able to display his
unusual intelligence, to the point that it scared the people of his
town, and they grew suspicious of him. He was not treated as a
genius, but rather as a monster. Because of this, he was isolated
and people avoided him.
When Dietrich was six, his father tried to kill him because he grew
scared of the little boy's apparent potential for evilness. He was
unsuccessful, however as Dietrich was able to kill his entire
family... at the age of 6.
He used his father's lands to collect people from his own town and
use them as his toys. He experimented on them and killed
them.
When Dietrich was 7 years of age, Cain and Isaak visited his town,
by coincidence. When Dietrich saw Cain, Dietrich was amazed at the
tremendous power that Cain possesses. This was the first time in
his life that he found someone who is far more powerful than he is.
Cain is a being that has surpassed good and evil, hence he became
an element of pure destruction. At this time, Cain and Isaak
already seized control of the Rosenkreuz Orden. Dietrich joined the
Orden and at the age of 10, he was already in a high ranking
position.
Perhaps the encounter with Cain and Isaak had given the boy a
purpose for his life, as he was rather aimless at the beginning.
Dietrich is innocent, but evil. That is why he makes a formidable
enemy of Abel and Esther.
He is the most evil out of all the characters in Trinity Blood. To
him, trust, love, friendship and loyalty do not exist, and he
therefore goes on without these, alone. He sees people as his toys.
He is intrigued by Esther and Abel because they are complete
opposites of him. It's not unusual for a devil to pose as the
bringer of light. Dietrich has the face of an angel, but has the
heart of Satan.
Isaak
Isaak Fernand von Kämpfer - The highest ranking officer (after
Cain, that is) in the order, he is a person to fear. He uses a lot
of magic and has the ability to summon monsters and weapons out of
thin air. Tres would look like a baby compared to his abilities.
His motives are very mysterious, however, outside of his mission,
he takes interest in the power of the Kresnik, and would like to
see what these beings are able to do. After failing a mission, he
is beginning to lose trust from the high ranking officers in
RCO.
Isaak Butler - Isaak Butler is an alias that Isaak
used when he was in Istvan and rescued Esther from someone named
Crayman (?). He was in fact Isaak Fernand von Kämpfer. He
introduced himself, coincidentally, as a butler for an English
nobility.
The relationship between von Kämpfer and Wordsworth is a deep and
mysterious one, even more mysterious than the relationship between
Kämpfer and Dietrich. There are a lot of unknown things and gaps
between this particular relationship.
According to the old character designs, Isaak Butler was a fake
name. This was the alias he used to get into the University of
Londinium, an imperial university. He was a genius and was also
involved in a research using this name. There were three more
prodigies in University of Londinium at that time, they were;
Catherina Lang, Zebbet (?) Garibaldi, and William Walter
Wordsworth... they were all rivals. They were competing against
each other with their brains/intelligence.
One technology that they analyzed shook the whole academia and
caused a scandal. Because Wordsworth and von Kämpfer were leading
the research, they were expelled. Also, during this scandal,
Wordsworth's wife died.
After being kicked out of the University, von Kämpfer was roaming
around places doing nothing. He then met Cain, who was still 900
years into his recovery.
They started doing things together then. At this point, what
happened between these two characters was not mentioned in the
novels
When von Kämpfer and Cain took over this really small society
called Rosencreutz orden, not only did they succeed in making the
society bigger, they also participated in many terrorists
activities. They used power which can only be described as magic to
make the AX suffer. In AX, von Kämpfer has a lot of interest in
Abel. He seems to know a lot about Abel, such as his weaknesses and
strengths. It may have been the case that Cain himself was
disclosing information to von Kämpfer about Abel.
Because Cain can't move around freely... he is doing Cain's job in
terms of cornering Abel.
Rosen Creuz Orden (RCO)
According to the Canon, the RCO has been in existence for quite a
while. At some point, it was just a small organization in Berlin
consisting of Terrans and Methuselahs who did not like the Vatican.
It was just a small society, and they were not doing much with
regards to their hatred of the Vatican.RCO only grew into a bigger,
proper organization, it only needed the charisma of someone like
Cain and Isaak, in just over a hundred years. It also acted as a
gatekeeper for other small terrorists organizations. If a
particular group has plans of action, they would have to go through
to RCO first. The RCO's activities are very much shrouded in
mystery, that not even the Vatican knows much about it. Eventually,
the order consisted of people who were not very happy about the
current situation of the world. You could consider the RCO an
anti-peace organization, but they believed in the need to renew the
world and they wanted to create a new utopia, but in able for this
to happen, they need to destroy it first, hence their motto, "With
our fire, we will renew the world".

The Lost Stories
- ROM Future Story
Development Translated by:
Rosen_K
This section is from Canon Part II, chapter 3 The Lost
Stories (page 213-218), the future revelation of R.O.M. series that
have been put together from the notes left behind by Mr.
Yoshida.
(1) In order to take the resources of Bohemia, gain more
power and for their own interests, the Vatican and Germanicus plan
to invade Bohemia. As queen of Albion, Esther gets involved and
tries to prevent their plot. She suggests to hold a international
conference in Prague with involving countries, and decides to
attend herself. To stop her action, both Vatican and Germanicus
send out assassins to kill Esther. While some of the extreme groups
of Vatican are proactively planning the assassination, Rosen Creutz
Orden and Cain are also involved behind the scene.
(2) On the other hand, Abel and Ion are tracking down some
mysterious stolen information on Vitter island. They are heading
Bohemia. In order to find the clue, they are working undercover as
teacher (Abel) and student (Ion) at a university of Prague, and
start their investigation.
(3) Abel becomes aware of the assassination plot and Cain's
strategy, he plans to help Esther to escape from Prague. But
Catherina thinks this is the best chance to expose Rosen Creutz
Orden to the world, and won't listen to Abel's request. Catherina
has suffered collagen disease and knows that she won't have much
time left. This is the last chance for her to destroy RCO. And it's
also getting harder for her to suppress her growing feelings for
Abel, and being jealous of Abel's attention to Esther, she has lost
her ability to calmly judge the current situation.
(4) Finally, Abel quit AX again, and decides to rescue Esther with
Ion's help. Catherina is outraged by his action. She sends Tres and
Monica to infiltrate into Bohemia's capital Prague, and order the
arrest of Abel.
(5) Pope Alessandro, Germanicus King Ludwig, Albion queen Esther
and Lady Lipshe(?) from Bohemia are under intense negotiation.
Meanwhile, Abel decides to confront Sister Judith, assassin from
Francesco's Inquisition group, and Esther assassin group from RCO.
But he was obstructed by Tres and Monica, who are coming to arrest
him following Catherina's order, Abel's effort to prevent the
assassination has failed. When Esther is in extreme danger and just
about to be killed by sister Judith, pope Alessandro jumps out and
blocks the fatal attack directed to Esther. Esther has made a
narrow escape from death and survived, but Alessandro has
sacrificed his life to protect Esther.
(6) Cain appears and fights Abel, and Abel is defeated again by
Cain. And Bohemia is eventually overrun and conquered by Germanicus
and the Vatican's army. Esther barely escapes and returns to
Albion.
(7) Upon hearing the death of Alessandro, Catherina has been in a
deep sorrow and grief over his death, and blames herself for what
had happened. Her health condition has gotten worse. After the
event, she hardly appears in the public places anymore. Francesco
is also saddened by Alessandro's death. But he quickly claims
pope's position, and declares that he will devote himself to the
world and the Vatican.
(8) New pope Francesco claims that Albion queen Esther is
responsible for the death of pope Alessandro. He sends Catherina
into exile for not effectively prevent the assassination of
Alessandro. AX agency is also dissolved.
(9) RCO's contrived activities have caused the relationship between
human world and the Empire to worsen dramatically. Try to take
advantage of the fatal "Event", Vatican launches a crusade to
against Albion and the Empire. Now the balance of coexistence
between Terran and Methuselah which maintained over hundreds of
years finally collapse, and Terran started a war against
Methuselah. Meanwhile, Catherina is still coping with grief and
mourning for Alessandro's death. With her worsened collagen
disease, she has been restricted to bed and incapable of doing
anything.
(10) The Crusade leaded by Francesco starts to invade the Empire,
but is defeated by Empire's troop. Meanwhile, Albion Crusade is
forced to retreat after facing strong resistance from Esther's
troop in Dover gulf. Francesco is desperate by the constant defeat,
he finally decides to use nuclear weapon.. Under the nuclear
attack, Timisoara, the second largest city of the Empire, has been
completely destroyed. Francesco's second target is Empire's capital
Byzantium and Albion's capital Londinium.
(11) To prevent more nuclear attack, Seth is forced to unseal the
reactivation system of the "Ark", which has been hidden in imperial
palace. She also plans to destroy nuclear military base of the
Vatican by using the satellite cannon carried by the Ark on orbit.
But this is exactly what Cain is waiting for. Once the seal is
broken by Seth, Cain is able to get into the system, and has
Dietrich takes over the control of the "Ark". They have intended to
land the "Ark" on the earth.
(12) Abel and Ion are following Cain into Byzantium. In the Empire,
an intensive fight has broken out between Able, Seth and Cain.
During the battle, Dietrich activates the satellite cannon on the
Ark. Rome is under direct hit and the whole city is demolished by
the attack. The Vatican is destroyed, Pope Francesco is killed.
Fortunately Catherina is recuperating in Milan, and has escaped the
disaster. Cain is still trying to land the Ark on earth which will
destroy the world, but Seth stops his plan by sacrificing her own
life. Now the Empress of the Empire, Vradica, also known as Seth
Nightload has died. In the mist of the chaos, Abel and Cain also
seem die together in the battle... But the truth is not what may be
seen, they have both survived but are severely injured.
(13) With the destruction of Rome and the murder of Empress
Vradica, the world is in turmoil. Two years have passed since then.
Because of RCO's manipulation, Abel Nightlord has been framed as
"the assassin from the Vatican". Therefore, when the human world is
in chaos after losing Rome and Vatican, the Empire declares a war
against the Terran. Two years after the war started, the Empire has
taken over half of the Terran territory. Now there are only two
human countries are left, Albion and Germanicus.
(14) As victorious country, the Empire couldn't handle the rapid
expansion of the territory and started to slow down the advance of
their forces. Meanwhile, Esther's troops, as well as former Vatican
members (including ex-AX members) which are leaded by Esther now,
are forming a strong resistance against the Empire and place the
Empire in a dilemma.
(15) The young Earl Kaurstein(?)'s daughter Camilla picks up
a Terran (Abel) on the street. But this sliver haired, blue eyed
Terran has lost his memory. After examination, it seems that he has
some kind of relationship with Albion queen Esther. Anxious
to win honor, Camilla takes this silver-haired young man into the
enemy territory, and plans to kill queen Esther. But Abel's memory
starts to come back while staying with Camilla. Abel and Esther
finally meet again.
(16) Catherina and Tres who joined the RCO are on the stage now.
Catherina has been in desperation of her life, and has lost to her
jealousy towards Esther...However, she is only using her negative
image. She has betted on her life and is going to destroy the RCO
from the inside.
(17) Evidently, Dietrich never trusts Catherina and Tres. But he is
starting to feel awkward towards Cain when Cain's recovery is
nearing completion. He is puzzled by the question which Catherina
brings up, -- Do the RCO, Kampfer and you mean anything to Cain
after he fully recovered? -- Catherina has started a psychological
warfare with Dietrich and eventually turns him to against Cain.
Meanwhile, queen Esther as well as Able, Catherina and Ion are
ready to start the final war against the Roson Cruetz Orden.
(18) In the end, the final stage is back to the "Ark" in satellite
orbit. Cain who wants to crash the Ark into the earth and destroy
the world, and Abel who tries to stop Cain, have begun their final
battle.
Above are all the R.O.M stories that author Mr. Yoshida left.
Unfortunately, Mr. Yoshida did not leave any clues
about the result of the final battle between Cain and Abel.
