Shu: *Think* What the hell is this feeling? There's something here that doesn't add up, but what is it?
Lowa: What's going on? You don't have a good face
Shu: Doesn't that sound strange?
Lowa: What are you talking about?
Shu: It's been a long time since Eden and Yohei should have met someone, but they haven't said anything even though the fight should be over by now
Lowa: Maybe they've fallen asleep
Shu: *Smile* What a stupid conclusion
Shu: Thank you
Lowa: There is no need to
Lowa: For now we have to focus on our own thing, I'm sure they will both be fine
Shu: yes... you are right
*Footsteps begin to be heard approaching through the forest*
Shu: Lowa!
Lowa: Yes
*The two are shown ready for combat*
*Out of the trees comes a burly man in a smart suit and reading glasses*
Stranger 39: Wow, it looks like I got a little lost
Shu: *Think* Who the hell is this guy? I can't perceive a drop of energy in it
Unknown 39: Sorry Could you tell me where a boy named Eden is?
Lowa: Eden? I'm sorry, but we don't know who that is
Unknown 39: It's a shame, I was hoping to get to it soon
*Shu's surprised face is shown when he sees a tattoo of a star on the stranger's neck*
Shu: Lowa, that guy...
Lowa: Yes... He is part of those wretches
Shu: We can't let you get out of here
Lowa: Yes, I know
*Shu and Lowa begin to expel energy*
*Lowa lunges with great force towards the stranger, landing a blow so hard that it shakes the trees behind him*
Unknown 39: You're a little inconsiderate young lady
*Lowa is surprised to see the stranger completely unharmed after his blow to the face*
Lowa: It can't be...
*The stranger grabs Lowa's arm and throws her to the ground, cracking it and causing Lowa to spit blood*
*The stranger throws a big blow at the ground breaking it completely, but Lowa manages to dodge it and backs up next to Shu*
Shu: Are you okay?
*Lowa starts coughing, and draws a lot of blood*
Lowa: *Panting* I think he broke two ribs in that attack
Lowa: *Panting* This guy will be a real problem
*Shu's surprised face is shown*
Lowa: What's going on?
Shu: N-I can't find any weak points
Lowa: Hey, hey, is this serious?
Shu: *Think* Do we really have no chance against him? There must be some way...
*Lowa is shown smiling as her face shows concern*
Lowa: Damn, it looks like we'll just be cannon fodder
Shu: Huh?
Lowa: Does this always happen when you're with that guy? I find it very funny
Shu: What will you do?
Lowa: We have to stop them no matter what, I don't know what they are looking for in that guy, but it can't be anything good, if we allow them to get to him, it will be very bad
Shu: yes... It seems that we have no other option
*Shu's eyes change color to gold, which leaves the stranger intrigued*
*Shu and Lowa dive in with the stranger*
*Shu begins to throw a flurry of punches towards the stranger who dodges them with ease, just like Lowa's attacks*
*The stranger caught Lowa's fist, hitting her with a blow that broke the bones of her arm, and then throwing her into the air and kicking her, sending her towards Shu, causing the two to collide in the air*
*Shu manages to brake and sees Lowa very injured*
Shu: *Think* Shit, we haven't managed to get a scratch on it, if this goes on, we'll die
Stranger 39: So are you ready to talk yet?
Shu: I...
Lowa: *With a weakened voice* No... We don't know anything
Unknown 39: It's a shame... They'll have to die here
Shu: Lowa, please resist
Lowa: I will...
*Shu's body begins to expel a large amount of golden energy*
Shu: *Think*What was he afraid of? Was he really going to confess to save me? I'm really a disgusting person, I'm the worst
*Shu recalls agonized screams as his face is shown to be covered in blood*
Shu: *Thinks* of dying... I was afraid of dying, not only now... That time too
*Shu remembers his terrified look when Eden used his demonic power*
Shu: *think* and that...
*Shu remembers all of Nork's events*
Shu: *Think* Always, all my life, I've been a coward, over and over again, I've never stopped running away
*Shu remembers Athena's look of contempt*
Shu: *Think* yes... that time, I shouldn't have survived, it should have been him... I always thought that, but... Did you ever feel that way Eden?
Shu: *Think* Have you ever looked back and decided to run away? Why haven't you done it even though the world is against you? I don't understand it and I won't understand it
Shu: *Think* Still, once, even once, I want to fight, even if it costs me my life, even once... I want to create my path...
*Shu feels the support of a hand on his shoulder, which leaves him shocked*
*Shu is annoyed at this and his face changes to an angry look*
Shu: *Think* Don't get in my way now
*Shu's body begins to become much stronger, while his hair begins to become more pointy*
*In the blink of an eye, Shu appears in front of the stranger throwing a powerful blow that generates a very powerful wind wave*
Unknown 39: oh, interesting
*The stranger launches an attack on Shu, but he manages to dodge it by throwing a blow that finally hits the stranger's rib*
*The stranger is forced to retreat after Shu's well-aimed blow*
*The stranger sees the mark left by Shu's punch, so he smiles in surprise*
*Shu launches into the attack again, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks, forcing the stranger to retreat continuously*
Unknown 39: *Think* I'd better start with this
*As Shu throws another punch, he suddenly feels a big direct punch in his chest*
*The stranger's finger is shown piercing Shu's chest, causing him to spit blood*
Stranger 39: I think I've had enough fun with you
Shu: C-Damned
Unknown 39: It's a shame, but...
*The stranger's surprised face is shown when he perceives a mark on Shu's neck*
Unknown 39: It can't be, you... you're one of them...
*The stranger's head receives images of a laboratory full of blood and many capsules filled with a strange liquid
Shu: *Think* Now!
*Shu takes advantage of the stranger's distraction to kick him in the neck that sends him flying, causing him to crash into a nearby tree*
*The stranger is shown with broken glasses after the crash*
Stranger 39: *Think* I didn't expect to find someone like that here, damn it, what do I do now?
Shu: *Think* What's going on? Why doesn't it move? I have to...
*Shu looks at Lowa full of wounds on the ground*
Shu: *Think* No, I must take her as soon as possible, if she is still there, she will die, I have to...
*The stranger appears right behind Shu*
*Due to his speed, Shu is unable to react and is pierced by the stranger's hand, causing him to spit out a lot of blood*
*Shu falls to the ground without energy*
Unknown 39: It's over...
*Shu is shown on the ground covered in wounds and blood*
Unknown 39: I'm sorry...
Unknown 39: It's Time to Go
*Behind the stranger Shu is shown staggering up and without strength*
Shu: *smile* Hey, can you stop playing?
Stranger 39: *Surprised* What are you talking about?
Shu: *Panting* If I'm going to die here... I want you to give it your all, don't hold back, you bastard
*The stranger closes the book he has in his hands and takes a serious look at Shu*
Unknown 39: *Sighs* I hope you don't regret this...
*The stranger's hands begin to change shape to that of a pincer just as pointed legs begin to emerge from their sides*
*The scene fades and Shu is shown on the ground while the stranger looks at him in embarrassment*
Stranger 39: You didn't deserve this, nor did you... nor any of them...
Tiresias: Wow, wow, I looked like I found an interesting guy around here
*The unknown 39 is surprised to see Tiresias behind him*
*Unknown 39 walks away from Tiresias while he is puzzled*
Unknown 39: *Think* He's fast, really fast, I didn't feel his presence until he spoke
Tiresias: It seems that you and your friends have made a big mess
*Tiresias looks at Lowa and Shu*
Unknown 39: Why didn't you kill me sooner? You could cut my throat if you wanted to
Tiresias: I'm sorry, it's not my style. Plus, you're more human than I thought, much more so compared to those two friends you have
*Puppet and the unknown 59 shown*
Unknown 39: What are you talking about?
Tiresias: I could tell that you haven't aimed at any vital point or any point that could be serious
Unknown 39: I don't know what you're talking about
Tiresias: Either way, at least you deserve a human death, so I'll finish you off quickly
*Tiresias unexpectedly attacks the stranger, landing a large blow that stuns him*
Unknown 39: *Think* Who the hell is this guy? How can it have so much strength?
*Tiresias releases a great flash of Light that blinds the stranger*
Stranger 39: *Think* Shit, I don't see anything, where is it?
*Tiresias is shown examining Lowa and Shu*
Tiresias: *Think* It seems that there is still time, but, I don't think it will be much...
*The stranger regains his sight and realizes that Tiresias is not looking at him*
Stranger 39: *Think* What the hell is he playing? He could have taken advantage of it to kill me again
Unknown 39: What do you want, old man? If you keep playing, those guys won't survive
Tiresias: I appreciate the concern, but the game is over a long time ago
Stranger 39: Huh?
*Various explosive devices are shown surrounding the stranger*
Tiresias: Goodbye
*A gigantic explosion is generated in the place, destroying dozens of trees in the vicinity*
*The place trembles while many of the trees are burned and destroyed due to the gigantic explosion*
*Tiresias is shown protecting Shu and Lowa as he watches the explosion*
*After a few seconds the whole place is shown razed and full of flames*
Tiresias: *Smiles* I knew it wouldn't be easy to win, but you still surprised me
*A man is shown with a large cortex throughout the middle area of the body, with 3 pointed arms on each side, as well as two large pincers in his hands and finally a huge stinger*
Tiresias: *With sweat on my face* It's a shame I can't see you now, but, I'm sure you're very scary
Stranger 39: I have to admit that I didn't expect an attack of that magnitude coming from an old man like you
Unknown 39: You are a rival to be feared, if it had taken me a microsecond longer to react, I would have blown up
Unknown 39: What's your old name?
Tiresias: Tiresias
Unknown 39: You can be proud Tiresias, you are the first one who has pushed me to the limit, therefore, I will respond using all the power I have, I hope you can bear it
Tiresias: What's yours?
Unknown 39: My Name Is Beast
Tiresias: It's good to know, so I can make a tomb in your honor, Beast
*Both smile nervously while staring at each other*
*A large burst of energy is generated near the site*
*Tiresias is shown surprised at the amount of energy he is sensing, while Yosa is shown in her new form*
Tiresias: Don't tell me that...
*Beast appears in front of him and throws a powerful blow*
Beast: Don't look away, old man!
*Tiresias blocks the attack and backs away, however he notices his numb arms due to Beast's great strength*
Tiresias: *Think* Hold on a little longer, Yosa, please
Tiresias: *Think* Fuck, I have a lot more problems now, if this goes on like this...
*Beast launches into the attack by launching powerful attacks towards Tiresias, with which he breaks the ground every time he connects*
Beast: Come on, come on, show me what you're capable of
*Beast manages to collide with an invisible thread, which causes several spikes to emerge from the ground that cross his body*
*Beast spits out a lot of blood while being surprised at what happened*
Beast: Hey, hey, at what time?
Beast: You're more unpredictable than I thought, Tiresias. But...
*The spikes break as Beast tries to break free from them*
Tiresias: *Whispering* I guessed it... The only way to beat a monster is to become one
Beast: How much do you whisper, old man?
Tiresias: I'm sorry, but it's time to end this
*Tiresias begins to overflow with a terrifying amount of energy*
Beast: What?
*Tiresias' body begins to become much stronger, growing muscle in an absurd way*
*As his body becomes more muscular, Tiresias opens his eyes, revealing eyes of a very bright golden color*
Beast: Hey, hey, is this serious?
*Tiresias is shown fully muscled and with a serious look*
Beast: *Smile nervously* You're a lot more trouble than I thought
Tiresias: Shall we end this once and for all?
Beast: Yes...
*In the distance a great explosion of overwhelming energy can be heard, which leaves everyone surprised and impressed*
Beast: Is it serious?
Willoc: It seems that we are late
*Stranger 59 is shown smiling as he sees the energy that Eden gives off*
Beast: It's a shame, I think we'll have to leave our meeting for another time.
Tiresias: What?
*Willoc, Beast and the unknown 59 disappear instantly, leaving everyone they were confronted with bewildered*
Tiresias: What's going on here?
*Shun is shown face to face with Yogen*
Shun: *Think* It depends on what happens today, the world will change one way or another, I can't have a margin for error, we have to end this, now
