Chapter 13: The Beast Returns

Jun hadn't been this happy in years.

For the first time in her life she had found a man who was just like her. Kind, charming, shy and sensitive but at the same time brave, compassionate and headstrong. Akira was completely different from any other man she had known. Some, like Yuasa and the late Kiyoshi Maeda were good men to be sure but they had become so concerned for her to the point it almost turned into an obsession. Others, like Jason were only attracted to Jun's true nature, completely disregarding her humanity.

But there was one thing that set Akira apart from the rest: his always cheerful attitude. His soft smile, his caring black eyes and his gentle demeanor brought Jun warmth. Yet Jun could tell that his eyes, beneath their cheerfulness hid a deep sadness. It was clear to Jun, that Akira had suffered. After all, she knew that he was like her. No longer human. No longer a man. Something else. And given everything Jun had been through, she coudn't even imagine all the hardships that Akira had to go through. Yet his smile was always there. His eyes always shone brightly. And for Jun, it was enough to make her happy.

As she was getting dressed for a job in the locker room of the agency, she recalled happily of how, the night before, Akira brought her to his cart shop and, to her surprise no clients came. He had moved it in a spot where nobody would have disturbed them. After she scolded him slightly for wasting a night of work that would have earned him some money, they happily had dinner together, enjoying a bowl of ramen noodles each. She would have never imagined it that the same guy who had nonchalantly wiped the floor with an entire gang of thugs several hours earlier along with her, was such a good cook.

Then, as a way to repay him for the service and for standing up for her against those thugs, she welcomed him into her apartment after finding out, much to her astonishment, that Akira no longer had a home, but rather stayed at a friend's for the nights.

(flashback)

Akira was actually surprised. Jun's apartment was nothing to scoff at. Despite being rather simple with a main hall that had a small table in the middle of it and a TV behind it, the kitchen and another table and only having a single bathroom and two bedrooms, it was all kept in such good condition that it almost felt brand-new.

"Nice little flat you've got here, Jun." spoke Akira after taking a little tour of it, before noticing something strange. In one of Jun's bedrooms there was a bunk bed. Apparently she didn't live alone here.

"Glad you like it, Akira." she replied cheerfully after laying her bag on the table in the center and taking off her coat.

"One thing though. Why do you have a bunk bed? Don't mean to sound rude, but i thought you lived alone here." he asked casually, his curiosity getting the better of him. Only for his curiosity to be replaced by worry after Jun stopped in her tracks, all of her cheerfulness dissappearing and her eyes beginning to shake. Akira cursed himself. Sometimes he really was too curious.

Instinctively, he asked "Did….. did i say something wrong?" in a caring tone, causing Jun to gasp as she felt Akira's hand gently being placed on her shoulder. Then her eyes meet Akira's own, calming her down.

Finally after much hesitation, she replied "K…. Kazumi and i used to sleep on that bed…. I bought it for her…." in a saddened tone, earning a perplexed look on Akira's face.

"What? You and Kazumi?" he calmly asked, earning a nod from Jun. The young woman in front of him braced herself. She had to tell him one of her many secrets: her sexuality. Despite the 20th century being close to its end, homosexuality and bisexuality were still a much debated topic. And with Jun already being a very shy and sensitive person, she was afraid that Akira would have rejected her out of disgust upon finding out this aspect of her.

But he needed to know the truth. It was the only way to consolidate their relationship and to make it progress forward. Finally, mustering all of her courage, she replied "Kazumi and i were in love." causing Akira's face to twist itself in shock.

"Ever since we first met, she always looked up to me as the older sister she never had. Eventually that admiration turned into love. She would often go out with me in the evening and eventually stay at my house for the night. We had done that so many times, she decided to leave her parents's house after she would finish school to live with me. But it wasn't meant to be…" she spoke, her voice becoming weaker with each phrase upon remembering the time she spent with her beloved before death set them apart.

Akira's heart sank, sadness replacing the shock in his face. He realised that Kazumi wasn't just Jun's best friend, but her lover. That's why Jun was so depressed and grief-stricken the first time he met her. The loss of Kazumi affected Jun in the same way Miki's death traumatised Akira.

"Jun… I….. I'm sorry…..." he spoke, trying to comfort Jun, having understood once again just how much they were alike, upon noticing that she was beginning to shake, due to the pain brought back by her memories.

"I…. i didn't know…. That between you and Kazumi there was love….." he contined, causing Jun to gasp in astonishment. She had expected him to be disgusted by such a thing. Two women having a sexual attraction on each other. Instead not only was he not disturbed by that, he had brought Jun into a hug to comfort her.

"A…. Akira….. Are you…. Okay with that?" she asked weakly, earning a perplexed look on his face. He then asked simply "With what?"

"With me…. being attracted to….." began Jun weakly only to be interrupted by Akira putting his other hand on her other shoulder catching her completely by surprise, before he replied "Oh, Jun. You were afraid to tell me, weren't you? You were afraid that such a thing would have sickened me? That it would have changed the way i feel towards you?" his voice full of resolve, devoid of any doubt.

Jun could only listen speechless, her eyes locked with Akira's own as he continued "I don't care Jun. You don't have to pretend to be something you are not. To me, you will always be the same kind, resoluted and beautiful woman i met more than two weeks ago. And nothing is going to change that, not even your sexuality." he finished with his usual bright smile.

Once again, Jun's heart had been warmed. Akira had accepted her for what she was instead of rejecting her as she feared. For the first time in her life, she had found a person that she could comfortably relate to without any worry.

Overcome by happiness, Jun hugged Akira deeply. She had never felt so safe with another person in her life before, with the exception of her parents and of course, Kazumi.

"Akira…. Thank you…." she spoke, her sadness gone, replaced by joy and passion her brown eyes making contact with Akira's own once again.

"Don't mention it, honey." replied soothingly Akira, causing Jun to blush and her lips to part away slightly. Every time he called her like that brought her so much comfort, so much joy, so much warmth. It was the same affection that she and Kazumi shared. And now, Akira had managed to make Jun feel like that again.

Partying away from the hug, Akira spoke "Though if i'm being honest, the idea of two women having sex boggles my mind. I mean, no offense, but how do you even do that?" his tone suddenly going from kind and caring to awkward and ingenous. In response Jun began to giggle amusingly before she replied "Hehehe…. You'll be surprised at how creative we can be." in a joking tone. The next words that came out of her mouth however shocked Akira, even more than he possibly could have imagined.

"And besides… I'm bisexual."

Akira, after blinking twice, face-faulted. He was definetely NOT expecting that.

"WHAAAAAAAAATTTT?!" he shouted in a comic way after getting into a sitting position, his eyes humorously bulging out of his orbits in shock and his mouth also wide open in an equally amusing manner. Homosexuality was not a new concept to Akira. Heck, even some Devilmen that fought alongside him were like that. But being sexually attracted to both men AND women at the same time? Now that was something he coudn't comprehend. At all.

Jun sweat-dropped. Never would she have expected Akira, as in the same tough, badass guy who curb-stomped a gang of ten thugs along with her, to have such a childish reaction. With an awkward look she asked "W-why are you staring at me like that?" with an equally nervous tone after noticing the weird way he was staring at her.

Noticing the way she was staring at him, Akira sheepishly put a hand behind his head and replied "Oh! Sorry about that. It's just….." he began, while Jun's uneasiness disappeared "… I've never heard of such a thing before." he continued, earning a puzzled look from Jun.

"You haven't?" she replied hesitantly, while Akira nodded "Nope. I mean i know a couple of people who are gay, but you're the first person i know that is like that. And before you ask, no, i'm not bothered by it." he replied casually in his laid-back tone, causing Jun's uneasiness to disappear.

A smile formed on her lips before she walked towards Akira and kneeled down towards him. She then spoke "Awww, you should have told me that earlier, silly." her voice regaining her cheerfulness. She had just discovered another quality that set Akira apart from every other men she had known: he could be really amusing, silly and clumsy sometimes. But that only made him even more likeable and colorful in Jun's eyes.

"Well, you know what they say. Better late than never." he spoke with a joyful grin, causing Jun to giggle happily like a little girl before her giggling turned into a cute laugh that was soon joined by Akira's own.

(End flashback)

Akira stayed for the night and he slept on the bunk bed, above Jun. They then had breakfast before Akira left, claiming to have a visit at the doctor, much to the annoyance of Jun. She knew well enough, that he had lied. But then again there still was much about him that she didn't know.

Putting her thoughts aside, she finished dressing herself and left the locker room, heading to one of the sets for one of today's jobs. Taking photos for an artist.

"Ah, there you are Jun." spoke Yuasa, his voice as soothing as always, upon noticing her, coming up to him and the artist that would have taken the photos for his studio.

"Thank you." she replied simply. Yuasa then adjusted his glasses before replying "Well, you know the drill. Mister Tomino requested to take a couple of photos to add in the Spring Magazine. At this point i think it'll be a cakewalk for you."

Jun in return replied "Okay. It shoudn't take too much time." before asking "One thing though: have you seen Lisa somewhere? I haven't seen her today." with a serious tone.

"Unfortunately, no. I coudn't even contact her." replied Yuasa, his voice equally serious "She's been acting strange lately. And i don't know why, but i have a bad feeling about this."

Jun, in response, eyed Yuasa in the eyes before speaking "Please, don't be too hard on her. Look at what she has achieved all by herself." She had a pretty good idea at how Lisa would feel. Given how much difficulty Jun originally had when she first started out, it was only natural for Lisa to feel a little burned out given how much she had worked in the last month. And it certainly helped that Lisa and Jun had quickly become friends despite knowing each other for less than two weeks.

Yuasa nodded before replying "Oh well, guess it doesn't hurt to skip one day or two of work after everything she's done for us." earning a smile from Jun.

She then walked to the center of the set and simply stood there with her hands behind her back while the photographer took his seat behind his camera.

"Alright, let's get this show on the r-" began the photographer but then…..

CRAAAAAAASHHHHHHHH!

(OST: "Monster Suit" first part (From 0:00 to 1: 34) = Yu Yu Hakusho soundtrack = watch?v=Z6iQrQ7_UXc )

The ceiling on top of the set was suddenly torn apart, parts of it falling everywhere around the set, startling Yuasa, the photographer and Jun. They only had a few seconds to watch in terror, as a giant yellow eagle-like foot armed with five recurved talons came out from the hole in the ceiling behind Jun.

She screamed in agony as the foot's five talons clamped around her, sinking in her chest and abdomen, causing blood to gush out of the wounds.

"JUUUUNNNNN!" Screamed Yuasa, utterly horrified by what was happening in front of him. He tried to run towards her but could only watch in utter hopelessness as Jun was effortlessy lifted in the air by the claw and through the ceiling., causing more parts of it to fall on the floor.

"HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" came a distorted, demonic but at the same time distinctly feminine maniacal laugh that caused Jun to gasp. Even though the voice was deeper and distorted she recognized it almost immediately.

"NOW I HAVE YOU!" it spoke again, a voice full of pride and assured of victory. Instinctively Jun turned around only for her eyes and her mouth to widen in utter shock and disbelief.

The owner of the claw that carried Jun in its claws through the dark skies of the city was literally something out of greek mithology. The body of a beautiful young woman, twice the size of a normal human being, light skin, a slender but at the same time athletic, slightly muscular phisique and a pair of large, perfectly scuplted breasts, completely exposed for the world to see. But it also possessed yellow, eagle like forearms and lower legs and feet, each ending with five recurved claws, much like a bird of prey. Two yellow antennae protruded from her forehead as well as a white tail of feathers from her rear. White bird-like plumage covered her crotch and around her face and, most importantly, two large white, almost angelic wings sprouted from the sides of her head, her means of flight.

Jun gasped even more as her gaze fell onto the face of the harpy-like creature which, despite the presence of sharp teeth and vampire-like canines in its mouth, was utterly beautiful. But its face and its appearance in general were not the main reason behind Jun's reaction. The creature's eyes were. Those piercing blue eyes, adorned by a pink outline on the bottom of each eyelid, were the same eyes of the woman Jun had become friends with in the last couple of weeks.

"L-Lisa? Is that you?" asked Jun, her voice full of horror and shock at the realisation that her friend, Lisa, was a beast all along. Or so she thought.

A wicked, vicious and malicious grin formed on the lips of Lisa's true self before she declared "You have fallen right into my trap! Into the talons of the mightiest and proudest of all demonesses, SIRENE!" uttering her true name with pride and delight.

Jun's eyes began to shake first in incredulity, not believing that her friend was now doing this to her after having worked with her. She then spoke "You… all this time…" sadness apparent in her voice at the realisation.

But this only caused Sirene to chuckle darkly before replying mockingly "Hehehe…. Foolish girl. Did you really think you could hide your putrid stench from me? Did you really think that i had not realised what you truly were?" causing Jun's eyes to widen even more.

"You….. You knew! All this time….. YOU KNEW!" replied Jun, in a disheartened tone before she screamed in anger and outrage. All this time, she knew what Jun truly was, meaning that she had plotted this, all along.

"Ha! You humans are so narrow-minded. You were always a means to an end, nothing more! And yet you believed in what little time we spent together that i was a friend to you. Instead your weak human emotions have proved to be your undoing!" declared Sirene once again, mocking Jun even more. Now she was truly enraged. It wasn't enough for her to plot behind her back all this time now she wasn't just hurting her, she was even mocking her humanity.

"You monster… I TRUSTED YOU!" Roared Jun in fury, clenching her mouth, her eyes turning yellow. Now she had done it. Insulting Jun's humanity was the last straw. Now she was going to get what she deserved.

However Jun's rage quickly turned into shock upon realising that, no matter how much she focused, che coudn't transform. Instead she began to feel weaker with every passing second.

"I…. i can't transform!" she spoke in a panicked tone, her eyes returning back to her original color. In response Sirene laughed once again before speaking "It is useless to resist. The energy of my talons is neutralising your powers. But do not pass out just yet. I want you to stay awake for what is about to happen!"

(Soundtrack ends)

(In the meantime, at Takae and Takeshi's house)

The young couple was in the process of having dinner and were watching TV when suddenly a breaking news report came.

"We've just received a report that a model agency has been attacked."

This gathered the young couple's attention, upon showing a visual of the damaged building of Jun's model agency. Immediately, Takae stopped eating, upon recognizing it.

"That…. That's where Miss Fudo works at….." she replied, thunderstrucked. She had learned this from Kazumi when she became friends with her and the other girls.

"Are you sure?" asked Takeshi with a serious tone, earning a nod from her girlfriend. She was about to reply when….

"We believe that….. wait….. we are getting a visual! You gotta be kidding me! There's a goddammed harpy carrying a woman with her feet!"

(OST: "Monster Suit", middle part (the part that plays from 1:35 to 3:01) = Yu Yu Hakusho soundtrack = watch?v=Z6iQrQ7_UXc )

Takae and Takeshi froze as soon as the images where shown. They saw Jun getting weaker in Sirene's claws, the Demon Bird flying among the skyscrapers of Tokyo, unopposed.

"M-Miss Fudo…" was all Takae could manage, not believing that the one who had saved them, now had her life hanging on by a thread. Wasting no time, Takeshi immediately got up from his chair, and darted towards the window, while Takae spoke "Tak! What are you doing?" concerned for her boyfriend's wellbeing.

"SHE'S IN DANGER! WE HAVE TO HELP HER!" Shouted back Takeshi, while taking off his clothes and opening the window. His girlfriend quickly came to him and asked "But….. what about you?" her face full of worry not just for her boyfriend but for Jun too.

After assuming his true form, without looking back, Takeshi replied "I'll try to save her. Call Akira and Kaim. If this beast or demon managed to take Miss Fudo completely by surprise, there a fairly good chance that we'll need all the help we can get!" in a serious tone, earning a nod from Takae.

"Alright, i'll try to contact them as soon as i can." she replied before coming closer to his boyfriend, grabbing one of his hands with her own. "Please, be safe." she spoke once again, causing Takeshi to turn around and kiss her deeply before replying "I will. I promise."

He then leapt out of his house's window and began to jump from building to building in the hope of detecting Jun's scent.

(Back with Sirene and Jun in the sky above the city)

"Why….…. Why are you doing this?!" demanded Jun, still not understanding why her former friend had done such a thing only to be rewarded once again with another wicked laugh.

"Normally i would not concern myself with worthless insects such as you. But you happen to be acquainted with someone i have unfinished business with." stated Sirene darkly, while increasing her altitude slightly, now flying at the same level as the top of Tokyo's highest skyscraspers, dozens of dozens of meters in the air.

The statement left Jun puzzled for a couple of seconds before she gasped in realisation "A….Akira….." she began in a shocked tone, having realised who Sirene was talking about.

"NOOO! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HIM!" she screamed in fury, her teeth suddenly getting longer, her eyes flashing yellow again, momentarily regaining her strength before Sirene promptly tightened her grip, her claws sinking even more in Jun's flesh, causing her to scream in anguish as blood gushed out even more.

"SILENCE! YOU KNOW NOTHING OF WHAT HE DID TO ME!" Demanded Sirene, shooting a spiteful, hateful glare at Jun, her mouth clenched in anger. "I WILL BREAK HIM JUST LIKE HE BROKE ME! I WILL MAKE HIM SUFFER WHAT I HAVE SUFFERED!" she roared, pure hatred and fury emanating from every single world she uttered.

This time Jun was so taken aback at the revelation that Akira had a history with her former friend that she coudn't speak. But even then what could Akira possibly have done do attract such anger, such hatred and such desire of revenge?

"But worry not, Jun. You will not live to see what i will do to him." she continued, in a calm yet terrifyingly reassuring tone, chilling Jun to the core. "That is why you are such an important part in all of this, Jun. By killing you, the one he cares the most about right in front of him, i shall break his spirit, his willpower! And then i will take back my honor, my pride ALONG WITH HIS LIFE!" She finally declared.

Jun's eyes widened in shock, before they weakly began to close themselves. This time it really was the end. After everything she had been through, from the day she became a beast, all those brutal battles, losing many people she cared about, culminating with the death of Kazumi, to her meeting with Akira, happiness beginning to return in her life, this was how it ended. All of it being being cut short, just like Kazumi's life on that fateful day.

However, fate had other plans in mind…

"MISS FUDO!" Came a demonic voice from above, gathering the attention of both Sirene and Jun, the latter weakly watching as a blue-skinned beast with black fur in its lower body, leaped down upon them from a building and punched Sirene in the face, causing her to release Jun. It was Takeshi.

"You…." was all Jun could manage, in a mix of surprise and disbelief. She had recognized him by his smell. One of the beasts imprisoned in the concentration camp.

"PLEASE, GET AWAY!" He commanded before restraining Sirene with his arms, hoping to slow her down and buying Jun time to escape. But he could only watch, as Jun, too weakened by Sirene's claws fell motionlessy until she crashed on the roof of a building, on the penthouse. But before doing so, her eyes suddenly widened, this time turning completely yellow.

(Soundtrack ends)

"MISS FUDOOOOO!" Screamed Takeshi in horror not believing what was happening before his eyes. Seizing this moment of distraction, Sirene broke free from Takeshi's hold, roaring spitefully "VERMIN!" before swiftly slashing Takeshi in the chest with one of her talons. He grunted in pain as crimson blood soon began to gush profusely out of the deep wounds, but before he could retaliate, Sirene extended one of her arms in front of him and blasted the beast point-blank with a telekinetic bolt, sending Takeshi crashing on the roof of the same building.

He crashed with a loud thud with the front of his body, cracking the floor due to the force of the impact, causing him to spit blood. Shortly afterwards, Sirene landed in front of him, just as he had gotten himself on his hands and knees. And needless to say, she was pissed. A lot. After all who was this filthy worm to strike her, the mighty Sirene, mightiest and most beautiful of all female demon warriors, letting her prey escape?

"How disgusting." she spoke in a spiteful tone, her eyes narrowing at the beast before her, on the ground, causing Takeshi to turn his gaze towards the Demon Bird. Despite being at her mercy, inside, Takeshi had to admit that she was utterly beautiful and very deadly as he had just experienced.

"To think that a weakling such as you could possibly get in my way." she stated grimly before swiftly kicking Takeshi in the stomach, hurling him towards an antennae, destroying it, before he landed on the floor again, this time mere centimeters before the edge of the roof. And after it, there was a terrifying 60 meter drop to the ground.

Takeshi coughed even more blood from his mouth. The kick had fractured several of his ribs and because of it along with the slash and the telekinetic bolt he received earlier now, he coudn't even stand up to the internal damage he had received and the amount of blood he had lost.

Then Sirene with a flap of her wings, closed the distance and landed once again before Takeshi, who now was lying on his back, clutching his stomach with one of his arms. She was now contemplating of how to deal with this little nuisance. And despite being no longer capable of fighting, Takeshi was still glaring daggers at her, his mouth clenched in defiance.

"Mmph. I suppose i could just cast you out and let gravity do its work." she began, before her scowl was replaced by a malicious grin. She then bent down towards Takeshi before grabbing him by the throat with one of her clawed hands while she put one of her hands in front of his face while stating "But i will not."

The blue skinned beast's scowl was replaced by shock and apprehension as a yellow sphere of energy formed in front of Sirene's hand. He then closed his eyes, bracing himself for the killing blow.

But then…..

CRAAAASSSHHHH!

Suddenly the penthouse was torn apart, pieces of it flying in all directions, causing a large cloud of dust to replace it, taking Sirene by surprise.

"What now?" she spoke, her energy sphere dissappearing. She then released Takeshi from her grip causing him to drop down on the floor again. She will deal with him later.

Suddenly through the cloud of rubble, two piercing golden glows appeared, causing Sirene to stir. What happened next shocked her.

"You monster…" came a twisted, demonic and feminine voice that froze Sirene in her tracks. "You think all of this is a game to you?! Why does hurting others give you so much pleasure?!" spoke the voice again, pure, unbridled fury and bloodlust radiating from each word.

(OST: "Devil Lady Main theme" = watch?v=UaEOWjXPDdc )

"I-Impossible….." was all Sirene could manage in shock and disbelief, as despite being deeper and monstrous she had recognised the voice. Her eyes then widened along with her mouth as soon as the dust died down.

Takeshi himself was just as stunned. Despite lying down on his back due to the injuries he had sustained, he could see the owner of the voice perfectly. He could only utter in awe and astonishment "M…. Miss Fudo….."

It was Jun, now in her true form. She had grown in height considerably, now standing two to two and a half meters tall, slightly less than Sirene, shredding all of her clothes. Her delicate, voloptous figure was replaced by an amazonian, muscular and athletic phisique. Her eyes had turned golden with a slit pupil, just like those of a cat, red markings had appeared under her eyes and her teeth had become sharp, with her canines having become fangs, not unlike those of a vampire. Most of her brown hair had turned into a pair of bat-like wings which extended from each side of her head, leaving her with shoulder length hair, while two antennae protruded from her hair right above her eyes. Brown markings extended from her shoulders to her breasts which had, too, increased in size and similar markings were present on her thighs. Her forearms and shins, as well as her groin were now covered by black fur and all of her fingers and toes now had sharp claws. And, most peculiarly, on each of her arms, between the lower and mid bicep there was a circular scar than ran along the entire circumference of each arm. Finally a black furred tail sprouted from her back just above her rear.

"You are nothing but an animal! YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE!" She declared, her voice full of wrath, spreading her arms and roaring at the sky in a primal, beastial tone, devoid of any humanity, no longer restrained by its bounds

The once arrogant and smug Sirene was now gasping in utter shock, her eyes wide open and shaking at the creature that now stood in front of her, not just because she had realised that it was Jun, the same woman she had ensnared in her claws earlier, but because of some strange twist of fate her appearance resembled that of her most hated enemy.

"Y-You…" she began, her voice faltering "W-Why do you look like him?! WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE DEVILMAN?!" she exclaimed, not comprehending what her eyes were seeing.

In response, Jun now chuckled darkly, a monstrous smile forming on her face before replying tauntingly "What's wrong? Finally realised the horror you have unleashed?" while slighting hunching her back forward, startling Sirene even more.

"You should have known better than to corner what you assumed to be nothing but a worthless insect. No matter how frail, no matter how insignificant we are, even an insect bites back." she continued menacingly, her grin growing even more and her voice becoming even more deranged. Finally she extended one of her hands in front of her, pointing one of her clawed fingers towards Sirene before declaring "AND NOW I WILL TEAR YOU APART, LIMB FROM LIMB! NOT EVEN A SINGLE FEATHER WILL BE LEFT ONCE I'M THROUGH WITH YOU!" a spiteful scowl replacing her maniacal grin, causing Sirene (Yes, the mighty Sirene herself.), to actually cower a few steps back in fear.

Away from them and still on the ground Takeshi smirked in satisfaction. This Sirene had no idea of what she had unleashed. And now she will taste the fury and the power of the saviour of both humankind and the beasts.

(Soundtrack ends)

The beast with the heart of a human, victor of the God Child, had come back after three months of slumber.

The Devil Lady had returned.
