There's no point struggling, Anubis. You can't defeat me.
...
As if convinced by Set, Anubis quietly put down the weapon in her hand.
Yes, that's right. Now, Listen to me.
Listen. You said Horus gave you a place to belong. But she is the same as Nile, who shifted all the blame to the priests.
That woman is just using you.
I just want to save you, that's all. You're so smart, how can you not understand?
Take my hand, Anubis. Join me. We can work together as sisters, to destroy this rotten world.
This, is my revenge against Nebu and the world.
... Enough, Set. I've always known your thoughts full well, from the very beginning.
What? You mean... You've always known?
Yes, I know what you're thinking, and that's why I have to say to you. Set, your revenge is wrong because...
I don't hate Nebu or the world.
Why... why can you not see it?! Don't you understand, Anubis?!
Why are you fighting for Horus?! I've told you many times!
Horus, Nile, and the commanders-in-chief of Nebu, they are all just taking advantage of your kindness!
... Heh.
... What's funny?
Nothing's funny. I just think this world is so amazing, so I couldn't help laughing.
Wh...!?
The next second, Anubis' blow hit Set with full force.
2. Stage 122-3, before the battle
11 linesCough... Uh, how... How... did I... lose to Anubis?!
Set, that's why I said you ''know nothing.''
I am no longer a child... I don't need your protection anymore.
I am a guardian now. My mission is to work with Lord Horus... to fight with her and guard Nebu.
So I mustn't lose to you, who joined Rasparta.
No, no way... Anubis...! I must... take revenge on this rotten world... I must... save you...!
... It's all over, Set. You can rest now.
With that, Anubis' final blow hit Set. Set fell unconscious. Anubis quietly looked down at Set, who was lying unconscious.
... Set. You said you would save me, but I no longer need you to because I have gained the belief and spirit that are strong enough to save myself.
And Set... you are the person who gave this to me. I didn't choose to run away from the mockery and bully, all because...
I wanted to be someone like you, sister, a strong and gentle priest...
3. Stage 122-10, after the battle
8 linesHm...
After using up all her strength in the battle, Anubis fell to her knees.
(Panting)... That was too reckless...! My body can't take it...
But I can't fall here... Oh, right! The others are...?!
Aaah...!
Anubis looked toward the sound, only to see the group being beaten to the ground, while Nephthys looked down coldly at them...
