Your limbs will be paralyzed, your lungs cease to draw breath! Eventually your heart will stop beating... Ah, but what fun would that be? Not a fitting death at all. The Boss' apprentice... I will give you fear such as you've never experienced before! Come into my web. It is time... For you to feel the fear!

... I beg of you, grant me the strength to take this... Final prey... Let me linger in this world just a little longer. I have already slept enough for one lifetime... Enough for an eternity. You have my thanks. I have to thank you, for waking me, if you hadn't shown up, my sleep would have been eternal... Do you hear me, Snake? I am The End. I am here to bring you to your ultimate fate. You will make a fine quarry for my final hunt.

I am - The Fury...! The flames of my rage will incinerate you! I came back from space, and as I returned, I had one vision... The world set ablaze! And do you know what I saw there?... Fury! A great and terrible fury at being alive! Now you too will feel the scorching heat of that horrible blackness!

Sad... So sad... A host of sorrows... And you are one of them. I am The Sorrow. Like you, I, too, am filled with sadness. This world is one of sadness... Battle brings death. Death brings sorrow. The living... may not hear them. Their voices... may fall upon deaf ears. But make no mistake... the dead... are not silent. Now you will know the sorrow of those whose lives you have ended.

I raised you. I loved you. I've given you weapons, taught you techniques, endowed you with knowledge. There is nothing more for me to give you. All that's left for you to take, is my life, by your own hand. One must die, and one must live. No victory, no defeat. The survivor will carry on the fight. It is our destiny... The one who survives will inherit the title of Boss. And the one who inherits the title of Boss will face an existence of endless battle.
