The Orochi-like Shadow immediately unleashed a normal attack that would have hit Yu if he hadn't dodged the attack. Guarding in case the Shadow tried something funny, he asked Fuuka to scan it and after two turns of guarding against the Shadow's attacks, Fuuka said to the combat group, "[I've completely analyzed the enemy. Here it is,]"

Arcana: Moon

Yu immediately had Ose Focus as Yukiko guarded and Yosuke unleashed a Garula that hit the Shadow as Minato had Flauros use Power Charge. The Orochi-like Shadow immediately used Beast Eye and then used Fog Breath and Tarukaja. Yu immediately got rid of it with Dekunda and Yukiko guarded again as Yosuke unleashed another Garula and Minato Focused. The Shadow used Spell Gloom on Yosuke and then Yu Power Charged as Yukiko used a normal attack. Yosuke was next and put Sukukaja on Yukiko as Minato had Flauros use a Power Charged and Focused Hassohappa that criticaled the Shadow and allowed an All-Out Attack to commence.

Arcana Moon unleashed a Poison Arrow on Yosuke that was able to poison him. Yu had Ose use a Power Charged and Focused Gigantic Fist that criticaled and set up another All-Out attack that hurt the Shadow seriously. Yukiko healed with a Media as Yosuke used a Dokudami Tea on himself and then Minato unleashed Gate of Hell with Yu, killing the Shadow.

Enforcer immediately rushed to the Shadow's corpse and extracted its Core Essence. "We should probably rest up before doing anything." he said.

Everyone agreed and went home. The next day, there was suspicious activity inside the Midnight Channel and when he went in to investigate, Enforcer noticed that Teddie was nowhere to be found. Yu made the decision to investigate Teddie's sudden disappearance on July 3rd. However, when he reached the elevator at the entrance of Junes, he felt the presence of a terrifying demon. Remaining where he was, Yu was sucked into an orange vortex as were Minako, Yukiko, and Kanji.

Fiend Realm

The team noticed where they were and realized that a Fiend wanted to challenge them. They all heard an engine rev up behind them and turned around to see the Hell Biker speed into vision.

"I feel it. I feel the power. . . A candelabrum is nearby!" the Hell Biker said as he got closer before saying, "Hey! It's you, isn't it!? Hand over the candelabrum! Be a good boy and I'll take you to a world without limits!"

Yu immediately sidestepped and managed to avoid a Hell Spin from the Hell Biker. Yukiko and Kanji were not so lucky and got hit by the attack, but Minako was able to dodge it as well.

"Alright, let's go! Think you can stop me!?" the Hell Biker said before unleashing a gust of wind from his infernal motorcycle that hit everyone but Kanji. The Fiend immediately followed up with a normal attack on Yukiko. Yu immediately Power Charged and Minako used Fog Breath to lower the Hell Biker's agility as Yukiko used a Media to heal and Kanji used a normal attack. The Hell Biker used another normal attack on Yukiko that criticaled and used the extra turn to use Dekunda before unleashing a second Hell Spin. Yu decided to Focus as Minako used Megido and then Yukiko used another Media as Kanji guarded.

The Hell Biker used Hell Exhaust and managed to hit everyone before unleashing a normal attack on Minako. Yu immediately used a normal attack that criticaled and an All-Out Attack was unleashed. Minako guarded as Yukiko used Diarama on herself and Kanji used another normal attack.

"You're the first to keep up with me. But, can you handle this!?" the Hell Biker said before using Hell Throttle and then unleashing a normal attack on Yukiko, then a third Hell Spin and three Hell Burners in a row before using a Hell Exhaust that Yu and Kanji dodged. Yu Focused again as Minako unleashed a Fatal End on the Fiend and then Yukiko healed Kanji with a Diarama. Kanji decided to guard and then Hell Biker another Hell Throttle before unleashing two Hell Spins back-to-back and then three normal attacks before a Hell Burner.

Yu immediately used a Hassohappa that criticaled and allowed a second All-Out Attack to finish the Fiend.
