Special Operations - All Hallows: Mission 3 - Signed in Blood[]
Boss - Mephisto[]
Start[]
| Johnny Blaze, my child. Your destiny awaits. | Mephisto:
|
Ghost Rider:
|
I'm my own man, devil. You're not my father and you don't tell me what to do. |
| A deal's a deal, John. Can't go back on your word. | Mephisto:
|
| Ghost Rider:
|
You want my soul? Come and get it. |
Lose[]
| I'm here to collect a debt, John. Sooner or later you'll pay up. | Mephisto:
|
Chapter 12 - Titanomachia: Mission 5 - Feeding Frenzy[]
MiniBoss - Mephisto[]
Start[]
| The chaos in the air... can you taste it, mortals?
Let me assure you... it is delicious. |
Mephisto:

Special Operations - Sins of the Fathers: Mission 2 - Death's Sting[]
Epic Boss - Mephisto[]
Start[]
| Hello, my girl. You're picking the wrong side in all this, you know. | Mephisto:
|
Satana:
|
What I'm doing is opting out. You and Blackheart settle your own feud. Don't drag me in. |
| You were in when you were born with demon blood. There is no opting out. Now choose. It is not too late. | Mephisto:
|
| Satana:
|
It's too late for you. We got rid of the Wrecking Crew. Venom's eating demons all over San Francisco. And you're not just chasing me anymore. You're fighting me and Daimon, and Strange, and... |
| Yes, yes. Quite an eye-catching alliance of convenience. Allow me to express my admiration for your self-preservation instinct.
But now let us drop this charade. Accompany me or be destroyed. All demonkind is called to choose. |
Mephisto:
|
Lose[]
| Come along now. I have chosen for you a different destiny. | Mephisto:
|
Special Operations - Sins of the Fathers: Mission 3 - Heart of Darkness[]
Boss - Blackheart[]
Start[]
| Hellstrom. You're late to the party. Mephisto and I were just about to settle our differences. | Blackheart:
|
| Cretin. Of course we weren't. You were about to bluster and rage and destroy a handful of my underlings. Then would have come the moment when I put you in your place.
As it is, I will cede that pleasure to Daimon Hellstrom for the moment. You and I have not seen the last of each other, Blackheart. |
Mephisto:
|
| Silver-tongued and yellow-bellied. Like always. Hellstrom, you have caught me at a bad time. I'm afraid I've got a fair bit of frustration to take out on you.
Then I've got demonic princes to depose. Oh, and then a world to debase and conquer. |
Blackheart:
|
Daimon Hellstrom:
|
You know, ambition always leads to disappointment. You should have stayed dead. Everyone was happier that way. Except you, maybe, and nobody cares what you think. |
| You can't hurt my feelings, Hellstrom. I don't have a soul. Soon enough, neither will you. | Blackheart:
|
Chapter 3 - Crisis of Leadership: Mission 5 - Techno Illogic[]
Boss - Mephisto[]
Start[]
Sunfire:
|
Demon! You will tell me what I want to know! |
| Of course, Shiro. All I ask in return is a signature. | Mephisto:
|
Tony Stark:
|
Sunfire, take it from someone who's gone bar-hopping with Ghost Rider... you don't want to do this. |
| Sunfire:
|
What are you doing here?! |
| Tony Stark:
|
That's a funny way of saying "gee, thanks for saving my soul, Tony!". But we can talk about that after the fight. |
Lose[]
| I will take the technologies of this world and merge them with the infernal machines of my realms. Then this world will be mine... | Mephisto:
|
Repeat[]
| You deranged bundle of affectations, trouble me no more! | Mephisto:
|
Chapter 6 - When Opportunity Knocks: Mission 2 - Ancient Knight[]
Heroic Battle[]
Start[]
| Ghost Rider:
|
You picked a bad time to step through that portal. |
| Au contraire. It's always a good time to get a good deep breath of human terror and sin.
...Actually, I came to talk to you. |
Mephisto:
|
| Ghost Rider:
|
That never works out well. |
| For you, maybe, but this time might be different.
With hammers falling and worlds colliding, perhaps we should put aside our differences for the moment and join forces. Shall we save this Earth together? The Spirit of Vengeance will be a valuable asset in the upcoming battle. |
Mephisto:
|
| Ghost Rider:
|
He already is. Just not for you. |
| Is that a no? I'll give you a moment to reconsider. | Mephisto:
|
| Ghost Rider:
|
I don't need it. |
Lose[]
| Have you come to accept my offer? I won't keep asking forever. | Mephisto:
|
Repeat[]
| Ghost Rider:
|
The thing about tricking a man out of his soul, Mephisto, is that you have a hard time regaining that man's trust. |
| Regrettable. Isn't holding a grudge sinful in some way? | Mephisto:
|
Chapter 6 - When Opportunity Knocks: Mission 4 - Harvester of Souls[]
Boss - Mephisto[]
Start[]
| The pawn makes his move against the king. | Mephisto:
|
| Ghost Rider:
|
Chess talk? What, are you in the Hellfire Club now too? |
| Indulging in a bit of fun, my son. When you have seen our plan in its entirety, you will understand why. | Mephisto:
|
| Ghost Rider:
|
I stopped being your pawn a long time ago, Mephisto. Any last words before I send you back to hell? |
| Such impatience! If only you took the time to understand our plan in its entirety. | Mephisto:
|
| Ghost Rider:
|
That's something you never understood about me, Mephisto. I don't want to understand you.
All I want is to get back what's mine and avenge what you did to me. |
| Pity. But I suppose it is the order of things that foot soldiers die without understanding their general's strategy.
Yours not to reason why, Ghost Rider. Yours is but to do... and die. |
Mephisto:
|
Lose[]
| Your fight was always in vain, Johnny Blaze. Let go of your hope. All souls will belong to me in time... | Mephisto:
|
Repeat[]
| The more you fight me, my son, the deeper you fall into the well of despair. There is no escape. | Mephisto:
|
Special Operations - Eclipse Phase: Mission 3 - Split the Difference (New York)[]
Boss - Mephisto[]
Start[]
| You know I dislike being summoned, Strange. And surely you are not fool enough to believe you can constrain me now that I am here? | Mephisto:
|
Dr. Strange:
|
I care little for what you dislike, demon, and even less for constraining you. It is breaking you I am after, and with the power of the Vishanti I shall!
The Eye of Agamotto will pierce your lies and free those you have deceived! |
| The battle is joined, and sooner than I had thought. I thank you for that, Strange. It is too long since I took a life. | Mephisto:
|
In-Fight[]
| Fight for your friends' souls, Strange. Perhaps you will even win them back. It is of no consequence. There are always others willing to bargain for their fondest desires... | Mephisto:
|
| Dr. Strange:
|
And there are always others willing to purify this world of the dark taint of your presence, Mephisto. Begone! |
Lose[]
| Who will be next to sign a contract...? | Mephisto:
|
Repeat[]
| Strange, you can either free your friends or protect yourself. Which will you choose? | Mephisto:
|
Special Operations - Eclipse Phase: Mission 4 - Consolidated Power[]
Boss - Mephisto/Dracula[]
Start[]
| Your inner sanctum is no longer yours alone, Strange. | Mephisto:
|
| Soon the Darkhold will no longer be yours, either. And when we have taken it, we will take your life. | Dracula:
|
| Dr. Strange:
|
The Darkhold's pages contain the end of your story, Dracula. Mephisto's end I will write myself. |
| Will you? How will you find the time to write when your soul is feeding my legions? | Mephisto:
|
| Dr. Strange:
|
It is inscribed already, in the work I have done. Now, by the gaze of the eternal Vishanti, you will be consumed by the darksome chaos that first gave you form! |
In-Fight[]
| I feel the course of your power in the very veins of this place, Strange... but you have not yet begun to see my true strength.
Feed, Dracula! Once your fangs are stained with Strange's blood, our mastery of this world will be complete! |
Mephisto:
|
| Dr. Strange:
|
By the Moons of Munnopor, I am no vampire's repast! Breathe deep the Vapors of Valtorr, and let that breath be your last! |
Repeat[]
| What hope remains to you, Strange? You are isolated and alone. Yield your soul to me, and you at least will be spared... | Mephisto:
|
Chapter 8 - Trial By Fire: Mission 5 - Demonic Dealings[]
Boss - Mephisto[]
Start[]
| I find this ancient city well-suited to ancient evils. Such as myself. You, Drumm, are but a sapling here. | Mephisto:
|
Doctor Voodoo:
|
The ancient powers of this place are not all on your side, Mephisto.
They laugh at you, whose devil's greed turns so quickly into envy of the Circle of 8. Were you not invited? |
| Invited? The Circle of 8 is my creation. | Mephisto:
|
| Doctor Voodoo:
|
Ha! A devil's lie. Or perhaps you even believe it. But the Circle of 8 is older and greater than you.
And it will turn on you once I have sent you back to the hells where you belong. |
| You may, this time. Or you may not. But you will soon learn that the Circle of 8 is wider... and deeper... than your arrogance permits you to understand. | Mephisto:
|
In-Fight[]
| Dormammu cannot long stand against us all. Nor can you, Jericho Drumm.
Nor even, perhaps, Cul Borson himself. |
Mephisto:
|
Lose[]
| Back to hell? No. As I once said to a writer of my acquaintance: Why this is hell, nor am I out of it. | Mephisto:
|
Repeat[]
| Jericho Drumm, perhaps this time I will keep your brother's spirit as a souvenir. | Mephisto:
|

Fantomex: 
I would have thought you more interested in human souls than mechanical constructs. Care to enlighten?
You are an absurd mongrel of man and circuit, made even more ridiculous by affectation. Your illusions are pitiful and you do not even possess your own nerves. Mephisto:
Fantomex:
I've got plenty of nerve, whether my nerves are mine or not. This will perhaps shock you, but nothing about you frightens me.
Your accent gives me ideas for new tortures to inflict on the damned. Mephisto:
