*A large structure lies within a forest surrounded by homes, abandoned and destroyed. Inside the structure is a man walking in a dark hall with each foot step echoing through out the silence of the void, he enters a room where he is met with a orb. a glow resonates in front of him as he stands before a large sphere surrounded by glowing branches, he swipes his hand as the orb spins *

Man: so, there is no way to avoid it….

*A sudden explosion occurs behind the man as a loud crash fills the room with dust and debris, a woman stands from the smoke coughing relentlessly as she sees the man stand before her*

Man: are you alright?

Woman: there is no defeating it master….

Man: I know

Woman: you have to leave, the people's lives will be in vein if you don’t!!

Man: child I will not abandon you

Woman: you know what that thing is capable of, it can even kill you!!

Man: my time… has come

*the man lays his hand the woman’s face as her wounds heal and her clothing restored*

Man: I will handle the rest

*with the flick of his hand a crack made from light appears from thin air as it opens behind him and opens to a open field*

Man: enter through there

Woman: why? And where are you going?!

Man: my purpose was to save the lives of those who suffered today but now and then forth will be up to future saviors of this land

Woman: but master!

Man: that portal will lead you to a place where you can find those hero’s

*A beast crashes into the castle, a growl is heard within the smoke as a blast of energy shoots out at the girls direction, before she had the chance to fight a hand grabs a hold of her and pulls her back to where the man pushes her through the portal taking care of the threat on his own*

Man: listen kiruma! Show them! Become their guidance!! Save the future

*his arm begins to disappear with kiruma attempts to help but was suddenly pulled in by the portal where in their final moments together she takes her hand out to reach out and yell to him*

Kiruma: MASTER!!!

*the man turns her way giving a smile of reassurance as the portal closes into nothingness leaving the woman stranded in a unfamiliar land*

Kiruma: dammit!...DAMMIT!!!

*kiruma can’t help but feel a overwhelming surge of despair and emptiness, with her master gone she yells out and sobs for the outcome that had come to pass.

Kiruma: this is…I see

*she wipes her tears away and gives a look of Determination*

Kiruma: alright master I’ll find these hero’s and then I will lead our future!!

Akumo: really? What are you going do with that?!

*the monster slams its claws into the ground as several rows of slash attacks come towards them both, akumo quickly takes the girls hand and jump into a nearby alley as they dodged the attack*

Akumo: you should leave this to me, you won’t be able to do anything with that!

Girl: huh?! I can fight just let me—

Akumo: its fine but you’re just gonna get in my way so just sit and watch! We don’t want you getting hurt now do we!?

*The girl is visibly annoyed as the monster shoots out a powerful roar creating a shockwave heading towards akumo’s directions*

Akumo: its time for a rematch!!

*Akumo shoots a lightning attack which counters the shockwave but destroys the nearby buildings surrounding them.

Akumo: calm down!

*Akumo electrocutes the monster as it roars in pain*

Girl: (amazing! He’s able to keep up with a monster like that?)

*akumo leaps off the monster and lands beside the girl*

Akumo: that thing is different from before!

Girl: you’ve already fought this thing?!

Akumo: oh yeah! I wondered into its cave when I was exploring and we fought and as strong as I am I won without any trouble, I sparred it cause it had kids

Girl: that’s actually nice of you…but not reporting it to the monster hunters is stupid! How could you not do that?!

Akumo: monster hunters?

Girl: you cant be serious…
