"Matier: Oh, yes. We are the guardians of...this land, Vie de Marli. Our clan once fought against the demons with Sparda. Son of Sparda...we must ask this favor, of you...You see, there's a man who's transformed our land into a demon's paradise; his name is Arius. And although he is the president, of an international public corporation...he uses the demon power. Please, deal with Arius and his master for us."
