So, you guys already know the end of Tokyo Xanadu, right?
Greed, Eclipse, Nemesis, Zodiac, and everything...
While it's true that they rescued an important friend, they had a much bigger problem... Do Eclipses only cover Tokyo? What about the other cities?
Do they also face the same ordeal?
That's why we're here.
We're here to tell you another side of the story, despite not taking place in Tokyo, this will also feature Eclipse, Greed and more destruction of humanity you could think of.
But don't be mistaken,
they aren't the same.
Welcome to Kyoto, the Eternal city...
Is this city... really as "Eternal" as they say?
We're about to find out.

START
Tick.
"A-Aaah... Y-you monster! Get away from me!" The monster closes in on the innocent man, giving away immense murderous intent, and the clock moves.
Tock.
"W-what did you do to all these people?!" Step by step, the man gets more terrified by the sounds of the huge unnatural footsteps closing in, the monster's prey is about to be eaten. The clock moves yet again.
Tick.
"W-why...?" Then the monster is head-to-head, a millimeter away from his prey... The clock moves yet again.
Tock.
"AAAAAAAHHHH!" A girl screams out, looking at her lunch on the floor, now is food for the hungry ants below.
"MY LUNCH!" The girl glares at the guy who accidentally made her lunch food for the little ants hungry for lunch.
"Uh, Ma-chin, I just accidently bumped it because this guy pushed me..." The boy shook and failed to admit his mistakes knowingly that she would be really mad after that statement. "Hey, why me?!" said the guy who didn't have to do with anything behind him.
"Hm... Kano...?" The girl stared at him, and it really looked like she wants to kill him, yet Kano still refused to back down, as he was prideful... Really prideful.
"Hmph, Mayu...?" Kano and Mayu glared at eachother like they're life-long rivals, refusing to lose to eachother, wait, it's just not "like", they ARE life-long rivals, since childhood, they were fighting over anything they talked about and they're on really bad terms since then... Well, not "anything", just an exaggeration, but mostly everytime they meet they fight.
"Now, now, guys, not like it was anyone's fault, let's just be happy befriending each other, okay?" A girl butted in the middle of their conversation, trying to stop the two berserk teens from arguing, the two fighters backed down, as if that girl was a holy being that needs to be obeyed.
"Ah, fine, we'll stop for now... You'll be getting it from me from behind the school later, Kano-kun..." Mayu dropped her fierce look and said it with an exhausted manner, although the last sentence wasn't that loud compared to the first thing she said. Kano shrugged and looked at the girl who stopped the argument from happening. Mayu walked back to her seat and tried to get her fallen lunchbox, leaving the contents alone while signaling Kano to take care of it. Kano knew that he had to be the one responsible for that mess, but he sighed anyways.
"Hey, Kano-kun... I know you guys are life-long rivals but you overdid it, she didn't deserve that kind of treatment... Now, she'll be pretty hungry for the whole day!" The girl who stopped them, was Kano's friend, she scolded her friend from doing a really insensitive thing. Kano didn't care less and put his legs on his table, sitting in a disrespectful way. She was certainly bothered by what he's doing and still put up with it.
"Who cares, Aoyama? Ma-chin isn't even worth to be treated nicely." Kano didn't really had anything like "consideration" for Mayu, he was just treating her cruelly because of his deep hatred for her.
"Aren't you the same...?" Aoyama whispered in an unusual tone, in a volume where Kano wouldn't hear.
"Anyways, you can just eat your lunch peacefully now that we stopped." Kano shoo'ed away Aoyama like she was some fly to him.
"Fine, just don't forget to clean up the mess you made." Aoyama sighed and pointed at the messy rice, sausages and egg rolls on the floor of their classroom. After that, she came back to her seat and did her usual thing.
'Tis that, then he thought about the actions he did, he, who doesn't have any consideration for Mayu, was considering the thought of buying her bread in the cafeteria, although that thought vanished when he saw the fallen contents of Mayu's lunch.
"Guh." Kano looked back in disgust from seeing the chaotic filth on the floor. Since he had no choice, he sighed and get started by grabbing the cleaning tools in the locker. He wiped away all the filth of the lunch on the floor and he heard a klack sound of a metal dropping on the floor as soon he was done cleaning, he had a feeling it was an important item to him and he looked back then he saw Mayu getting his keys.
When Mayu was about to reach it out to him, he forcefully got the key back from the grip of her hand, while still glaring at Mayu like he wants to curse her. Mayu got back to what she was doing without minding it too much.
'Ugh. Why do Mayu always mess with my stuff...' Kano thought the deep hatred and rivalry he has on Mayu until the rest of the day ended without another big event happening like what happened on their lunch break.
Thus the bell rang.
"Alright, it's the appointed time she said where we would finally settle things." Kano said, despite his understanding of Mayu's sentence wasn't oh-so-correct, he was just about right until the point he said they would settle things.
Kano walked with big steps despite being a small person on the stairs, he got everyone's attention though not intending to, he was just excited, he walked down the stairs with great vigor until he encountered a teacher along the way.
"Kageyama-san, please descend the stairs quietly... You're disturbing the other students here." Kano shrugged and replied with a low-sound 'okay' with a dissatisfying face like he didn't want to meet a teacher today.
"That's it! Come to the Counselling Room! You need some guidance young man!" Kano was surprised, he didn't expect to go to the counselling room this day and age, like, who does that nowadays? Anyways, he got angry at the teacher, saying "But I need to be somewhere!", however, the teacher didn't believe him and caused him to go slump and gave up on convincing the teacher.
At the Counselling Room, two men sit upon the different sides of the table.
"Kageyama-san, your actions as of lately has been really inappropriate for a person of this prestigious school." Kano clicked his tongue and was annoyed for a fact that a teacher caught him.
"But the most concerning 'trouble' you have made so far is that you treat Mayu Takahashi-san rather cruelly, I would say." The teacher said, adjusting his glasses by lifting them up a bit using his index and middle finger.
Kano, was a fact, was really irritated and slammed the table.
"Listen, teach', I know I did something wrong and I'm sorry about that, not all people have that much free time to listen to an adult's ramblings about correcting my fucking actions and shitty lecture stuff like that, alright?! Can I go out, now? Not like you who can sit on a chair all day lecturing people, I have someone to meet up with." Kano walked up to the door, then the teacher smirked as he reached for the door handle, as if he expected that.
"Kano." The teacher called out in a very low voice as if it was filled with malice, but Kano sensed that and suddenly in his tracks.
"Ah, I remember now... Takahashi-san told me that she doesn't even know why you treat her like a bad guy... Poor little girl, she didn't have anything do with your stress-relieving hobby of yours... Pushing your anger towards someone else, huh?" The teacher gone on and on while Kano was just at the door, shaking with rage as he listened to the teacher rambling about Takahashi's poor tale of being bullied by a childhood friend.
"Teach... How could you say that even if I'M the VICTIM here?! Stop with that bullshit!" Kano reacted to the things the teacher said, even knowing it's a bait. He slowly walked to the teacher with mad hatred and killing intent. He held the teacher by the neck, slowly suffocating him. The teacher firmly gripped Kano's arms and faced Kano with an intimidating smile. Kano loosened his grip due to the different smile the teacher gave.
"W-what? *cough* You're going to kill me? If you will, won't you become the culprit here?" Kano twitched. He lost control of himself and he regretted that fact. He let go of the teacher and he packed all his things. Just few seconds before Kano left, the teacher's warning made him stop for a microsecond.
"Don't run away from the monster from the other side. That's all, goodbye."
Then Kano left the room.
"Kano Kageyama, huh... Interesting kid." He leans back to the sofa, he thought of every info he has on him.
"Too bad... You will finally encounter the dark tones of the world as soon as you leave this room, kid... Will you run away from the depths of your memories? Or... face the truth with a firm soul?" He giggled, he knew what was happening, and what will happen.
"Hah. I know that he will run away though... Unless he can break that fate? Anyhow, I look forward to seeing this through..."
Then, he disappeared as if he wasn't someone from this world.
"Whew. That was a depressing ride... It was that teacher's fault anyways." He thought back to his conversation with the teacher. He knew that he wasn't just an ordinary teacher and wondered who he gets the information from.
Although he banished that thought when he noticed something he forgot.
"Shit, what time is it?!" He looked at his watch, noticing he gone past the time of the meeting, he panicked, and ran as fast as he can to the back of the school.
"Hah, I'm almost there!" He jumped over sets of stairs, like he wasn't a human being, and not even getting harmed. His adrenaline rush was probably too high and made him invincible to anything.
And then he was almost out of breath when he just reached the back of the school, still hoping Mayu was there.
"Hey, Ma-" Yes, Mayu was there... Although, she wasn't there at the same time...
"Hey, M-Mayu, this isn't real, right?" 'this is just a dream'
Lying on her back.
"That... you're dead?" 'thisisjustadream'
Blood drips from her head.
"No..." 'thisisjustadreamthisisjustadreamthisisjustadreamthisisjustadream'
A pool of blood gathers all the blood that had dripped from her head.
"No, no, no, no" 'thisisjustadreamthisisjustadreamthisisjustadreamthisisjustadreamadreamadreamadreamadreamadream'
Lifeless eyes, without a soul controlling her body...
"A-'adreamadreamadream'aaaa...'thisisjustadream'aaaaaah...'adreamdreamdreamdreamdreamdreamdreamdreamdreamdream'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
As he shouted, he looked at his back...
'Thus, the clock moves yet again.
"Prologue ~1~" concludes.
