==Dialogue==
===Start===
Uzuriel
: "Archdemon Mammon!! How in the world did you manage to find me here?" Uzuriel is unable to hide her shock at the sight of Mammon.
Mammon
: "Oh, so the great angel Uzuriel knows my name. What an honour." Mammon slowly folds into a deep bow before Uzuriel. The smaller demons at his side are not quite so polite.
Uzuriel
: "Why have you come here? How did you find this place? You will answer truthfully and immediately if you want to avoid my wrath."
Mammon
: "Oh, you haven't heard? Why, I'm here to destroy heaven of course. Dante mentioned... Well, perhaps I've said too much already, really." Uzuriel bristled at the mention of Dante's name.
Uzuriel
: "Dante?! What does he have to do with all this? What are you planning? Tell me everything you know! It's up to you whether we do this the easy way or the hard way!"
Mammon
: "My, my... What confidence! Very striking, but are you quite sure you can best me? Come now! Let me bear witness to the true strength of an angel!"
===Against <Nightstalker> Sarcaphus===
===Finish===
Uzuriel
: "Enough! Start talking!" Mammon finds himself pinned between two walls. Uzuriel advances, eager to commence the interrogation.
Mammon
: "Haha, you'll never get a peep out of me! Maybe you should just go and ask Dante yourself if you're so curious. Maybe invite him for tea? Hahahahahaha!!!" Mammon's skin begins to fracture and crumble. It appears he would rather die than betray Dante.
Uzuriel
: "Is... Is he dead? It looks like I'll have to bring this up to Dante at some point, but as for now, it's time I read this book." Uzuriel glances around warily before gingerly opening the black leatherbound tome.
Leatherbound Tome
: "The Forbidden Fruit bestows wisdom upon mankind. Those who are able to withstand its allure will gain infinite wisdom. All those who lack the power of will to resist it will face corruption to their very core. Most humans cannot bear such temptation..."
: "Corrupted humans will be afflicted with a dark and weakened mental state, before eventually losing themselves completely. The only force that can stop demons and other evils from possessing them is purification by an angel. Both angels and the Forbidden Fruit draw their power directly from God, so once purified souls have been returned to heaven, the power of the Forbidden Fruit will be returned to the angels..."
: "However, if the source of an angel's power is different from that of the Forbidden Fruit, their wings will blacken upon absorbing the Forbidden Fruit's power. The angel will gain strength, but will be stripped of their very essence, until they cease to be angels."
Uzuriel
: "God... Why did you even create the angels? Are we just meant to be some glorified tools for purification? There's no way that's all there is to us. But I musn't lose my way. Still, what kind of God would create something like this for humans?!" In Uzuriel's frustration, she accidentally allows the book to fall from her hands.
: "Why would you make something that can only harm humans, and then give it to them? They should never have come into contact with it! It's like some kind of twisted selection process... Humans shouldn't have to be subjected to this. This is unacceptable! What were you thinking?! I don't understand!" Uzuriel trembles with rage at what she has discovered.
: "There's only one choice... I need to destroy the Forbidden Fruit!"
