So this is the Abandoned Metropolis...

Now, where is that crappy doppelganger hiding?

Hey, Lugina!

Huh?!

What are you doing here?

Well, it's gonna turn into a long story if I tell you...

But more importantly, the demon is hiding deep inside.

Tsch...

Did you see it?

Huh?

I asked you if you saw the demon or not!

Y-Yeah...

......

Tsch. You always show up where nobody wants you!

I'm gonna defeat that demon by myself!

You got a problem with that?!

Yeah, lots of them!

Say what?!

I tried fighting it once, but it's still got an endless supply of power.

Instead of fighting it by yourself, you stand a better chance if you let someone else help you!

Whatcha say?!

Are you trying to say that that worthless demon is stronger than me or something?!

No, that's not it!

I know what you're truly capable of.

And I know you can probably slay that demon by yourself without much trouble.

But my suggestion is based on facts, facts that can provide a better success rate to our battle plans.

Or am I wrong?

......

Tsch...

Well, when you put it like that. Fine, I'll let you help.

Just make sure to stay outta my way!!

Yeah, yeah. I know.

It looks like you have finally made it to the Abandoned Metropolis.

The demon Nebulous should be around here somewhere...

Oh, there's Lugina, Hans!

And...wait. Is that Karl?

What are you doing here?

It's a long story.

But I didn't know Hans was here either.

Karl! Hans!

We don't have time to waste chatting away!!

Hans!

We're gonna go defeat that demon now, and you're coming with us.

Having you as backup is better than having none at all.

You should be damn grateful that I'm letting you help me!!

It seems you guys have gone quite deep inside the ruins.

I wonder what shape Nebulous has taken... *Bzzzt* Probably.... *zzzz*

...!

Tsch.

......

Three against one? The fact that you need that many people to defeat me, speaks volumes, doesn't it Lugina?!

Tsch. You've got the wrong idea here.

These two are only here to make sure you don't chicken out of our fight.

Letting you walk around with my face on any more is just asking for trouble.

Heh heh heh heh...

As always, all bark and no bite.

But you know, surrounding me like this suits your style just fine, doesn't it?

Because just like when you faced Zagamlung...

...the gallant Karl will be there to rescue your sorry existence when you faint!

Why you...!

......

......

Why don't you just shut your trap already?! Don't try that crap on us!

What do you know about Lugina, huh?!

Yes, it's true that during our fight with Zagamlung Lugina fainted.

But that's because he noticed that Zagamlung was going to release his scream of darkness before I did...

...so Lugina used his body as a shield to protect the members of his squadron!

I was only able to defeat Zagamlung because Lugina put his life on the line for us!

So you better stop talking badly about my friends...

...or I'll beat you senseless!!! No matter who or what you are!!!

Heh heh heh heh...

You're gonna make me cry here.

Karl...

You...

Lugina! Hans!

There's no point in talking to this thing any more!

Let's do this!

Good, bring it on!

But if you think I'll be just as easy as Zagamlung, you've got another thing coming.

Tsch!
