Three…years? Three?
I-I mean…
I know that explosion did a number on me…
But three years?
Well…that's nothing…isn't it?
I mean, I went practically twenty-five years with no missions, no shooting monsters…no anything!
…
But…this was supposed to be the end of that, wasn't it?
Medusa rose from the darkness and brought the Underworld Army with her.
Then…Viridi and the Forces of Nature, who helped us with…
HADES!
Man, I wonder what he's up to.
He did help us defeat the Aurum and Pyrrhon, but…he did also take over the Underworld Army.
Geez…and Pyrrhon-and we thought he was just crazy….
Well…he WAS crazy. But he was smart, too…using us to get to the Aurum Brain….
Then…not-so-smart – you know – being controlled and all by the Aurum.
…
Man…crazy times….Is it over?
Am I going to go another twenty-five years without doing anything?
This'll be worse, though….
I can't see anything….
Just darkness.
Pitch black.
…
Wait…
'Cha-os…Kin?'
Chaos Kin? What's that?
…
Wait….
Is that a little girl?
What's she up to?
…
Wait…
What's going on here?
. . .
Something tells me I won't have to wait another twenty-five years.
And…I can see more than just that little girl.
A…ring?
She's too young to be married!
Oh, duh…there's no one around.
…
Wait…she's putting it on…
Why do I feel something mushy…like…a finger?
Eww.
Okay, calm down…
Let's check out my surroundings….
There are none.
All I can see around is a….
Burning town?
Wait…what?!
Whoa…everything's…spinning.
Did she just…lift her arm up?
Why can I feel it?
And why can I see her looking at me?
It's..creepy….
Oh jeez…she's jumping….
Be careful, I get vertigo!
Wait…she's moving the ring…and…I can feel her finger.
Whoa, whoa, whoa….
Either I'm crazy, or…
I'M THE RING!
