Mission:Masterpiece (Villain) - Part I: The Golden Pipes
Part I: The Golden Pipes
Briefing
Hello. Character. I am Tyrka. Darrin Wade has requested I speak with you. I've heard much about what you've done in the past, and I wish to help you achieve more in the present and future.
Your own plan and Mr. Wade's are falling in line nicely with each other. As you're no doubt aware, Malaise has been arrested by the authorities of Paragon. This odd behavior is exactly what we need; it is now time for us to take action and make an attack on Sister Psyche.
Of course, many have fought the psychic before, but this time it will be different. We will be going inside her very mind to attack her. Out of formality, I must ask, are you interested in truly destroying one of the most powerful psychics in the world?
This arc contains elite bosses and may be difficult to complete by yourself.
- Agree to form a strike force
Tyrka hands you a letter and a package.
I implore you to read over the letter and go over the contents of the package.
...
Are you prepared? I may have all the time in the world, given my current spiritual situation, but you do not. As you see, you've been given the Dirge of Chaos. Now, as you may or may not be aware, one of Sister Psyche's major weakness is negative emotions, or rather, a very large amount of negative emotions. It nearly crippled her back in the 1980's. The Dirge of Chaos is one such artifact that can do the same.
We will need a powerful song within the Dirge, and not just any song; we will need a song performed by one who is powered by demons. Luckily for us, there is such a man here in St. Martial: Johnny Sonata, the man who sold his soul for his 'golden pipes'.
You have all the tools, Character. It will be up to you to get Johnny Sonata to record a song on the Dirge of Chaos. His Family goons won't try to attack you unless you go into the private areas of the Giza, then it will be fair game. You can let Johnny know that Darrin Wade will compensate him with a powerful artifact in return; I'd ask you to give him an artifact, but Wade insisted that you do not pay any sort of price for this, given the legwork you'll be doing.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Johnny Sonata won't be expecting you, Character. That's always a good thing.

Briefing
Now, I gotta ask, what's the big deal with you tearin' through my boys? You must have some sort of death wish.
- I need you to sing a song into this cassette player.
Johnny's eyes narrow, looking at the player.
Kid, I might not be the youngest cat around, but that thing is ancient history.
What makes you think I'm gonna sing you some song? Normally you gotta pay a lot of money for that privilege.
- (Explain to Johnny the proposal for an artifact from Wade.)
Darrin Wade, huh? I've heard of the guy, little bit on the weird side, but whatever.
Maybe I'll do it for the artifact, but then kid, I'm gonna have every guy who thinks he's tough kicking down my door to get a song.
It's gonna take more than that to get me to help you.
- (Rough up Johnny Sonata to show him a thing or two))
- You use your abilities to rough up Johnny Sonata until he understands the benefits of working together with you.
- Alright! Alright, kid, you made your point! I'll be upstairs getting ready.
- Glad to see we're on the same page.
- It would be a shame, Johnny, if someone destroyed the protection wards against those wailers...
- Johnny's wrinkled face goes pale at your threat. He clears his throat.
- Well, kid, maybe this whole offer of yours is worth it.
- I'll be upstairs getting ready for our recording session. You better come prepared, you understand?
- Oh, I understand well enough.

Rule the World |
| Johnny Sonata recorded a new song entitled, 'Rule the World', on the Dirge of Chaos. When the song played, it will create a devastating effect; the power of the Dirge of Chaos, combined with Johnny Sonata's demonic-granted voice, will spread enough negative and chaotic energy to devastate anyone who isn't prepared for it. |
Debriefing
Always a professional, Character. I heard there was quite a ruckus in the Giza from the song Johnny was singing. I can only assume that means that everything went according to plan.
That means part one is done. Part two, however, is something that... you may not exactly enjoy. It involves a safe house and the sewers in Paragon.
