For a long time the group just stared out into the abyss where the Aerie once stood. Although they had the third and final key, there was a heavy air of sadness and dread. Makoto cried and cried, each sound echoing within the canyon till finally he stopped.

"Makoto, are you okay?" Hajime asked.

Makoto lifted himself off the ground and shook his skull from side to side.

"Let's head back to camp and get some rest," Natsumi said.

"But we have the final key!" Hajime said. "We can go rescue Kana right now."

Normally Natsumi would have shot him a deathly glare or beaten him, but she didn't. Instead she just looked at him knowingly, her olive green eyes almost seeming to say 'please'.

"Fine," Hajime sighed. "Let's go."

The group left the desolated canyon without another word. Makoto lagging behind and hanging his head low to the ground.

"Tomorrow we shall slay the king of beasts," Cain said.

"And finally rescue Kana," Hajime said, green eyes burning like fire.

That night, as they all ate around the fire, Makoto didn't say a word barely chewing his food. When they went to sleep, Makoto kept waking up screaming and crying. Hajime and Natsumi both moved towards him, sleeping on both sides of him. Even Cain placed his flowing tail on the boy to cover him. Several times Makoto still woke up screaming and crying, but no one snapped at him. How could Hajime, when Kana was just the same. Her screams and crying far more violent making her pale face red and her violet eyes wet with so many tears. Every time though, he would not snap at her and instead wrapped his strong arms around her and placed her delicate head on his chest. His strong heartbeat, never failing to soothe her back to sleep. It seemed to work just as effectively with Makoto alongside Natsumi and Cain's heartbeats. Soon Makoto fell asleep for the last time that night.

The next morning, Hajime awoke before the sun did. Although it was so early, his body did not ache and he felt no ounce of sleep. Instead the fire in his veins sustained him as he walked out to the meadow and towards the village. Cain, sensing he was awake, followed at a distance. He did not need to speak to know where Hajime was going.

Silently, the two entered the village, all its remaining residents fast asleep. They walked down the path until they reached a familiar stone white house covered in faded paintings of animals. Cain sat outside, while Hajime entered for the first time in years. His eyes were instantly overcome by all his daughter's illustrations hanging on the walls, many of them either depicting him or different colored foxes. Despite those long years without him, the quaint little house had barely any dust or cobwebs. No doubt Mikan and Usami saw to that. The air inside however was not as nostalgic, how could it be without the home's main occupants.

Hajime walked towards the bed, his chest growing heavy. There sat the stuffed fox toy he had bought for Kana, hardly dirtied due to lack of play. Resting next to it was a piece of paper addressed to him. Carefully, Hajime picked it up and read. He recognized Mikan's penmanship.

"Dear Hajime

If you are reading this, then perhaps you found what you need to rescue Kana. We hope you are successful so we can see both of your smiling faces together in the village again. No doubt we will celebrate with a grand party, Hiyoko already has everything planned. Because despite all we have lost, your determination to rescue Kana gives us hope. Hope that we can be just as passionate to protect our loved ones. We are all wishing for your victory and safe return."

Underneath the message he saw all the villager's signatures. Each one written differently from Gundham's fanciful signature to Akane's more messy and alcohol stained signature. At the bottom printed side by side were Chihiro and Usami's names. Hajime closed his eyes imagining their voices cheering him on before putting the letter back where it was. He looked up over the bed to see a familiar shell necklace hanging on the wall. With both hands he removed it from the wall before tying it to his spear.

"I promise," Hajime put a hand on the algae covered shells, "I'm going to save you. I know it."

Hand still on the shells, he closed his eyes and imagined his daughter in his arms once again. Even if she looked years older or her illness still persisted, he wouldn't love her any less. For she was once the only pure light he needed to survive in this forsaken world.

After some more time alone thinking of Kana, Hajime left the house. Waiting outside bathed in the golden light of morning all three of his companions stood.

"Are you all ready?" Hajime asked.

"Of course," Cain huffed with pride.

"Let's kick this king of bastards' ass and save Kana," Natsumi

"Makoto?" Hajime looked over to the skeleton boy.

"I've decided… I won't use my magic anymore," Makoto said before weakly lifting his head, "but I'm going to stay by your sides and help any other way I can because… we're family."

Hajime smiled and patted Makoto's skull.

"That's good to hear," Hajime grinned. "I'm sure Kana will love to meet you. Both of you."

"Whatever," Natsumi scoffed. "Enough acting like sappy girls, we have a kid to save."

"Right," Hajime nodded.

...

Together they arrived at the sealed door within the forsaken shrine. There was little fanfare as the surrounding area was completely void of shades. Hajime unceremoniously placed each key in its respective hole and unlocked. A click sound triggered the door to slide open revealing a cage like room.

"What-?!" Hajime gritted his teeth.

"Calm yourself," Cain advised. "Clearly this is the same sort of moving room Monica showed us. If we just enter and press the correct button, it shall lead us to the king of beasts' domain."

"Right," Hajime sighed and walked in.

Once they were all inside, the gates closed and the room began to descend.

After a while he could feel the room moving to the side somehow. He didn't understand why, but he felt a familiar sort of anxiety and chill run up his spine. Perhaps it was for Kana's safety, but that didn't seem to be the cause. Before he could figure it out, the room stopped and the doors opened, flooding his eyes with light. When his eyes adjusted, he walked out of the room and into what looked like a courtyard full of trees and overtaken by other sorts of vegetation. They walked down a weed infested stone path. Each stone depicted a pair of matching animals, one black, one white. At the end stood a grand steel fountain where upon statues of a white dragon and a black dragon stood opposite of each other wings extended and water shooting out from their mouths. Behind it was an outer gate leading to a large castle-like structure. As he opened the doors, Hajime recognized two familiar faces up ahead in the stone courtyard.

"Chihiro? Usami?" Hajime asked. "What are you doing here?"

Despite their familiarity, the two stood firmly with solemn faces.

"Hi…," Usami said. "Is there any chance you might change your mind and head back to the village?"

"What are you talking about?" Hajime asked. "We're here to rescue Kana."

"Thought so," Usami sighed. "It's only inevitable this would happen. If only we had another hundred years."

"It sounds like you want to stop us," Natsumi growled. "That makes you our enemy."

"If only they had killed you like they were supposed to," Chihiro said.

"The shades?!" Hajime shouted. "You're working with them?!"

"We have no say in the matter," Chihiro said. "Besides, this is for your sake as well."

"How?!" Hajime growled. "How could it possibly be for my sake?!"

"Even if you reach Kana, you will only cause her pain and suffering," Chihiro said.

"You lying bastards!" Hajime shouted, running with his spear fully aimed to stab Chihiro through the heart.

Just as he was merely a yard away from striking him, a thick wall of ice shot out from the ground between them. Hajime looked up to see the wretched black fox spirit standing high and mighty from atop the castle entrance.

"You," Cain growled.

"It's been a while Cain," Abel said. "Or should I call you by your true name, the one you had when you were human?"

"What nonsense are you speaking of?" Cain growled.

"See, the three guardians of the resurrection seed, you, me, and Johanna were not born this way," Abel said. "We were all humans tasked with protecting the resurrection seed until you, Kyousuke Munakata, decided to provoke it."

"No... that's absurd," Cain panted. "Gagh!"

"The resurrection seed might've sealed your memories away, but our names will break them free," Abel said. "Juzo Sakakura and Chisa Yukizome!"

"No!" Cain yelled in agony, his eyes wincing from the pain.

"Snap out of it!" Natsumi yelled at him. "He's clearly just spouting bullshit to mess with you like before, so don't be a little bitch and fall for it again."

"You're right," Cain panted. "He is the king of beasts' loyal servant. Every word uttered from his lips only serves his master."

"Fine," Abel huffed. "You'll realize the truth. The deeper you go the more you will suffer!"

With those final ominous words, Abel leapt off into the castle. It was then Hajime realized the twins had escaped as well. Their only way in was now sealed off by ice.

"Think you can melt the ice?" Hajime asked Cain. "Or do you need some rest?"

"I can do it," Cain said. "After all I am Cain the fire breathing slayer of despair not some simpering pup."

"Good to hear," Hajime smiled.

Once Cain was able to melt a large enough opening in the ice with his fiery breath, the group entered and walked into the castle doors. Inside they found a large well lit room full of cloth tables and chairs. Each one was decorated with dusty plates, silverware, napkins, and candelabras. The dust was so thick it made Makoto sneeze.

"Excuse me," Makoto rubbed his snout.

Suddenly several large shades rose up from around the room. All of them were four legged predators like lions, tigers, and bears, all pure and not fused with any other shade. Upon leaping onto the tables the beasts roared and snarled. Natsumi glared at the tiger shades and summoned her claws with a grin. Before Hajime could get a word in, Natsumi leapt ahead and tackled the nearest tiger shade, stabbing it through the neck with her claws.

"The striped assholes are mine!" Natsumi shouted.

"Okay," Hajime said. "Makoto, stay by the door."

"Right," Makoto nodded.

Together Cain and Hajime ran into the hoard of shades. Hajime swung his spear, cutting through ten large shades with the ease of cutting a blade of grass. Cain summoned several smaller tail lances and fired them directly into eight other shade's heads. Meanwhile Natsumi leapt from table to table on all fours, killing every single tiger shade along her path and leaving the rest to Hajime and Cain. Then as soon as their battle began it ended leaving all the tables and chairs flipped over and stained with blood.

"That was… easy?" Hajime said.

"Too easy," Cain growled.

"What are you two complaining about?" Natsumi asked. "Don't you want this to be easy?"

"I guess," Hajime sighed. "I would have thought the king of beasts' lair would be guarded by more powerful shades."

"Hey, look at this," Makoto said waving a piece of paper in his hand.

The three walked over to Makoto to see. He held out the torn and weathered piece of paper that read;

Prayer for Life

Oh great and powerful Eve, hear my soul's deepest desire. Strengthen my mind and body so I may fight to live and worship you another day.

"Peculiar," Cain said.

"Prayers don't do shit," Natsumi said.

"Humans often cling tightly to things during the most chaotic times," Cain said.

"I don't get it," Makoto said. "Is Eve a person or a god."

"It doesn't matter," Natsumi walked away. "Just toss it and let's keep moving."

The rest, unsure what to think of the writing took her advice and followed.

Past the dining room were rooms and rooms filled with simple white beds and black nightstands. Unlike the previous room, the beds seemed less dusty but still rather worn with age. All of the nightstands were clear of any distinguishing items, except for one. On a nightstand close to the end of the room laid a single piece of paper with no dust on it. It looked like it had been torn out of a book. Hajime picked it up and read;

Dear Diary

You know, for a while now I had no hope. Somehow even less hope than when that remnant tortured my family to death. I guess it shows the love I had for my darling Genji. Without him I wouldn't have survived that first world shattering tragedy. But just as the world started to heal, a second tragedy fell upon the world and took my husband with that horrible illness. I was so lost and utterly alone until I came here to Jabberwock. Here I was found by the church of Lilith and Eve. They opened my eyes and made me realize this second tragedy had to happen in order to purify the world of its sins. Now I have found a new supporting love through Lilith and Eve. While my husband may be under Lilith's wing, I am happy to fall under Eve's wing and live in her name and Genji's.

"It would appear this building was host to some sort of religious group," Cain said. "Wasn't there a document under Makoto's manor that referred to 'the cult of Lilith and Eve'?"

"Yeah," Hajime recalled.

"Who cares?!" Natsumi huffed. "It's got nothing to do with our main objective so stop wasting time on it!"

"Okay, okay," Hajime put down the paper.

The group continued to walk through the king of beasts' castle. They traveled through long hallways and winding staircases with stained glass windows. In all of these areas, no shades appeared. As they walked through one of the many Cain's ears perked up as he noticed something different about this hallway. In the center resting on the floor was another piece of paper, this time inside a letter marked "To the high priest for the church of Lilith and Eve". Cain ran ahead, grabbing the letter in his mouth before running it back to Hajime.

"Oh great, more useless paper about some dead cult," Natsumi said sarcastically.

Ignoring Natsumi, Hajime read the letter which said;

Songs of the Resurrection Seed

First there was Thunder lighting the crimson skies with golden light. Striking the shadow beasts and sinners down with great bolts of judgment.

Second was Surge splitting the earth with great emerald thorns. It impaled each shadow beast and sinner that dared to disobey the will of the Resurrection Seed

Third was Tempest, a mighty collection of violet winds. Easily tearing the sinful Americans' nest to pieces and flinging their lifeless bodies among the debris in the wind.

Fourth came Torrent, a powerful flood of sapphire waters. Unrightfully used against the devout followers of Lilith and Eve to drown our voices of worship. So many of us succumbed to Lilith, yet Eve has kept me alive to record the majestic songs of our reborn goddesses.

Finally I can hear the fifth song. It is the cry of the Resurrection Seed. The heathens that controlled her songs will now burn by her crimson flames raining down from the sky like tears. Although I do not understand the words of the Resurrection Seed I feel the pain and wrath in her heart. Thus I will name this mighty song Judgement.

"Wait," Makoto said. "Is it possible the resurrection seed has the same powers as me?"

"Maybe," Hajime said. "They said Komaru was supposed to be a failsafe in case the resurrection seed went berserk, but we don't know what it or she looks like."

Cain held his tongue and kept walking.

"I'm starting to agree with the hussie," Cain said. "This information has nothing to do with our mission to rescue Kana."

"I guess," Hajime said, noticing Makoto seemed disappointed by his answer. "Once we get Kana home safe and sound we can come back and really investigate."

"Okay," Makoto said.

At the end of the hall, the group found a pair of large grand doors. Upon trying to open it they found it was locked. Natsumi pushed Hajime out of the way and broke the door down with her shadow claws revealing an elegant ballroom on the other side leading to two extravagant staircases on the other side. The room faintly lit by a single chandelier hanging above, but leaving the second floor balconies shrouded in darkness. Cautiously the group walked in. Once they walked into the center, several crimson eyes lit up in the shadows of banisters above. Then countless four legged predator shades like before leapt down and surrounded them. Natsumi noticed the tiger shades in the group and grinned.

"Same thing as before," Natsumi said before pouncing on the nearest tiger shade and beheading it.

Hajime lunged forward with his spear, stabbing three bear shades through the chests. Cain summoned his tail fists and squashed four shades like flies underneath them. All the while Makoto did his best to stay out of everyone's way and dodge and shade that tried to attack. He wouldn't have to keep it up for long as the ballroom shades were swiftly defeated just like the dining room shades before.

"It's almost pitiful how weak these shades are despite their ferocious appearance," Cain said. "Almost."

The group continued towards the stairs until Cain froze dead in his tracks.

"What's wrong?" Hajime asked.

"I can sense her!" Cain said.

Once those words left his lips, the doors on the second floor bursted open. A large distorted figure landed on the floor, cracking the tiles underneath it. This figure looked to be the orange fox spirit Johanna, but her appearance had changed dramatically. Not only was she much bigger and her fur more spiked, she had black fox markings and stripes all over her body including three stripes under each eye. A line of black fur tufts ran up her spine and crowned her head with a mane and bangs. But most disturbing of all were her nine tails that each had a black cat shade head on the end. Yet despite this hideous transformation, her eyes were still emerald green. Looking at this monstrous fox spirit, Cain could not help but back away. Then to make matters worse, Johanna summoned several thick and thorny vines to close and cover the door she came in through.

"Still as bitchy as ever, huh," Natsumi growled. "I'm going to enjoy tearing you to shreds."

"I'll try to get the doors open," Makoto said as he moved towards the vine.

The cat shade heads hissed before lunging at Cain. Cain managed swiftly dodge allowing Hajime to step in and slice some of the head off. Johanna yowled enraged, pulling back the heads and leaping at Cain, pinning him down with one paw. Their eyes were mere inches away as she stared down at him, fangs bared. Cain froze, but Natsumi cut in, clawing Johanna's right eye out. A howl of pain erupted from her making her lose her grip on Cain. The chimera fox growled and leapt away summoning cat shade heads to grow in the place of those that were beheaded.

"These vines are so thick," Makoto said.

"Don't bother, they'll shrivel up and die once this bitch is dead!" Natsumi grinned, running into Johanna's blind spot.

Before she could claw Johanna's side, the cat head shades sprung at her, pinning her by the arms and legs. Hajime swiftly sliced off their heads only for more cat head shades to take their place. Johanna, gearing him, turned and grabbed him by the torso with her mouth before tossing him into the wall. Wiping off the blood from her bites, Natsumi stood up and fought more of the cat shade heads. All the while Cain was still frozen stiff, his ears and tail lowered in fear.

"CAIN!" Natsumi shouted. "Get your goddamn head out of your ass and fucking help.

"Ah right," Cain said after shaking his head.

Snapping out of it, Cain growled and leapt at Johanna's neck while Natsumi distracted the cat head shades. Although he managed to get his fangs on her, the black mane around her neck was too thick to penetrate. Johanna swung her neck back and forth, shaking him off.

"The fusion with these shades has increased her defense," Cain said after landing on his feet.

"No shit," Natsumi said, still cutting through the regenerating cat shade heads. "We'll just have to keep slashing away!"

"Then let me help," Hajime said, finally recovering from being thrown into the wall.

Hajime ran and rolled under Johanna's chest before stabbing her in the stomach. The beast swung her head back in pain giving Cain the window to summon a tail lance and stab it in her remaining eye. Blood squirted out staining Cain's face but not evaporating into him like shade blood. Despite her wounds, Johanna did not fall, instead she slammed her paws onto the tile, summoning thorny spikes to shoot out from all around the ballroom. Hajime and Cain barely managed to dodge the attack, but Natsumi the thorns grazed Natsumi's left leg tearing pieces of her bandages off.

"You fucking bitch!" Natsumi roared, ignoring the cat head shades and going straight for the main body with her shadow claws.

Putting her claws together, Natsumi strengthened them to grow in size and strength. With them she pierced through Johanna's clean through her thick fur and sides. Johanna yowled louder in pain, almost deafening the group with its pitch, before finally falling over blind and out of breathe. The cat head shades lunged forward only to die swiftly by Hajime's spear and Natsumi's claws. Together they kept slashing through the cat shade heads until there were no more growing in their place. Still Johanna maintained her monstrous form. Natsumi looked down at the blind beast and raised her shadow claws.

"This ends now you fucking bitch," Natsumi growled.

"Wait!" Cain shouted, uncharacteristically fearful.

"What, you want the honors?" Natsumi asked.

"We've wasted enough time on her," Cain said. "She'll die of blood loss at any minute, so we should conserve our energy for the shades ahead."

"I guess beheading the blind cunt would be a mercy," Natsumi said before grinning. "Dying of fucking blood loss is way more miserable."

"I got the vines open!" Makoto shouted. "Good thing I don't have skin or else that would hurt."

"Then let's get going," Hajime said, swinging his spear over his shoulder.

Hajime and Natsumi walked up to the door, but Cain did not move. Instead he kept looking at the blinded Johanna as a pool of blood formed around her. Then she began to produce a sound.

"Kyo…," she managed to faintly speak, "...suke."

Cain's eyes widened, but then he turned and ran to join the group. As they left the room, he didn't look back.

"You okay?" Hajime asked.

"I'm fine," Cain said.

"What about you Natsumi? Did it get you…," Hajime stopped upon seeing the revealed skin of Natsumi's legs.

"I'm fine!" Natsumi growled, pulling her leg back. "Stop looking at my leg like some perverted boy!"

"Sorry," Hajime said.

Although it was just a glimpse, he swore the deeply bruised area of skin was scarred with something bright crimson. Knowing that Natsumi acted defensive over her bandages before, he decided to let it go and pretend it didn't happen. Instead he kept moving through the hallway and up a spiral staircase to another pair of doors. Yet as they went along he noticed Cain begin to pant and stiffen up more. Once they reached the top of the stairs that's when Cain froze in his tracks.

"Seriously Cain," Hajime said, "what's wrong."

"Nothing… nothing..," Cain panted, so exhausted he couldn't swallow his saliva as it pooled out of his mouth.

"Are you sick?!" Makoto asked.

"I'm fine!" Cain shouted before falling over.

"Cain!" Hajime rushed to his side. "What's going on!"

Before Cain could respond, he blacked out

...

It was a few days before Makoto Naegi's trial. Most of all the branch leaders had gathered at future foundation headquarters to review all the evidence before Makoto's plea. It was only a small courtesy. The majority of the leaders had already decided he was guilty. After all he not only stole the most dangerous people in the world, but worse he protected him. Munakata would not allow this treason to go unpunished. He would ensure this defective agent was silenced, even if he was the ultimate hope.

That was the plan. To march into the meeting room and assert Makoto's guilt. Then no matter how much he begged for his life, Makoto Naegi would be punished for his treason.

Everything was going according to that plan.

But when he marched into the meeting room, everyone was distracted by the main monitor. It was showing the recently rebuilt Kyoto through one of the cameras they had stationed there. That was normal. What wasn't was the spiraling gray vortex looming over the city.

"Chairman, what is going on?" Munakata asked calmly.

"We received an alert that there was a massive flood of energy in Kyoto. Soon after we checked the main camera and saw this," Tengan responded.

"How do you know this footage isn't faked?" Munakata asked.

"Because it's happening right now," Tengan said. "Miaya has already checked all of our other cameras in Kyoto."

"Look!" Chisa pointed.

Munakata turned to face the screen. Two massive objects were falling out from the vortex. He wiped his eyes to confirm he wasn't seeing things that these objects were real. They couldn't be, they were only real in myths and fairytales. Could they be just two other machines created in the name of despair.

"Those can't be…," Seiko trembled

"Dragons," Izayoi said.

Yes, that's what they were. Two massive dragons falling down onto Kyoto. One pitch black with white stripes and the other pale white with black stripes. Both were built like wyverns with long spiked necks and tails. On top of their heads they each had a unique crown of horns.

Midway through their fall, both dragons outstretched their wings and flew above the city creating gusts of powerful winds for the people below. The vortex began to fade causing the black dragon to fly Kyotords it only for the white dragon to screech and bite its tail flinging it down to the ground and buildings built upon it. In an instant entire buildings full of people were leveled by the weight and force of the black dragon.

"No!" Chisa gasped, putting her hands over her mouth and running to Munakata's side.

He wrapped his arms around her and kept her eyes away from the screen while he was completely focused on it. The black dragon extended its wings and shot itself toward the white dragon only for it to swiftly dodge. Now the two dragons flew in a circle like vultures over the ill fated city below. Then both dragons opened their jaws. Everyone expected the two would rain down hellish red fire, but no. Instead what came from their mouths were… songs. Two songs without words that echoed through the sky like and sounded like they were sung by women. As the dragons continued to sing, rings of light formed around them before expanding rapidly toward the other. Each time these opposing rings hit they sounded like bells of a cathedral and rang in everyone's head making most of them flinch. The black dragon, becoming overwhelmed by the white dragons' rings of light, roared and summoned a barrage of them. A long and loud sequence of bells rang out. So many in such short succession no doubt what the civilians heard would bring their ears to bleed as it made even a strong man such as himself, have to hold his head.

"Damn it, when's it going to stop?!" Juzo yelled as he covered his ears.

Shortly after Juzo said that, the white dragons' rings of light pierced through the barrage of its enemy slashing its left wing clean off. Crippled, the black dragon hurdled back down towards the city. Another block of buildings was crushed under its weight and stained by its crimson blood

"We need to exterminate this demonic creature before it causes anymore damage!" Munakata yelled. "Fire our strongest missiles!"

"How do you know that will work?" Tengan asked. "It could do more damage to the city than to these monstrosities."

"SEND OUT THE ORDER!" Munakata yelled at him.

As Tengan ordered the missiles, Munakata turned his eyes back to the screen. The white dragon dive bombed the one winged black dragon, sinking its talons into the creature's scaly skin before biting its long neck. In its final moments, the black dragon roared and tried to snap at its attacker, its frigid blue eyes filled with spite. Finally the white dragon ended its enemy's life by ripping off its head. A sea of blood gushed from its detached head and stained more of the city crimson once the white dragon tossed it aside. Munakata's blood froze stiff as the blood soaked dragon turned its piercing pale pink eyes towards the camera. It was as if it could see all of them watching it, it's intense gaze piercing through the screen and striking deeply into each and everyone of them.

Then the missiles came.

With just five large missiles, the massive monster of legend was impaled and burned to death. It fell limp over the corpse of its enemy, managing to make a weak cry before succumbing to death. The room was still for ten minutes, waiting for the monster to somehow survive and destroy the rest of Towa. But it didn't happen. Instead both mythical beasts laid there still as statues aside from the blood pooling out from their bodies. Munakata sighed with relief.

"It's over," Munakata said.

"Wait…," Chisa said upon lifting from his chest and looking at the screen. "There's something coming off of their bodies."

"Miaya, zoom in," Tengan ordered.

She was right, there were countless small flakes of skin coming off of the dragons. There was so much floating in the air and landing on the ground like snow. Everyone was speechless unsure what to think or feel towards these seemingly harmless skin flakes.

Little did they know this was the beginning of humanity's true end, not by Junko Enoshima and her legions of despair loving follower, but by these two impossible creatures and their blood, scales, and souls.
