She was so weak when she was with you. She was someone who took pain. A victim. But at Bishoujo at the Beach she was reborn as an Angel. And since that day, she's been cleansed of your influence, because your influence has been replaced by mine. She went from the weak victim I squashed, to the ruthless destroyer that eliminated half of Team Holly singlehandedly. We started her divine journey, we helped her become something better than you ever could."
"You know what else tells you a lot about someone? The way others react to them. You said you *tried* to pull that monster out of Violet, the monster we fought. But you didn't pull it out of her, did you? No, no, no. But you know who did? We did." Nikki starts laughing. "And we didn't have to try. Because the demon knew that we wouldn't have just defeated its host. We would have changed her, like we changed Amy. We would have become the demon in her dreams, and left it with nothing! But you? You were just a wrestling match. It didn't fear you, it thought its host could take you..."
Nikki takes a few steps forward until she's right in front of Ash, and looks up into her eyes with a grin. "...because you and me are on opposite ends of the spectrum. In this cruel world where pain is god... I've been chosen... destined... fated.... to subject others to that pain, to the fear and despair it causes. While you, no matter how hard you fight it, are meant to be a victim."
Nikki's eyes briefly shift to Ash's title, then back to her rival's eyes. "And that's why I deserve what you have."
