Anguished One

[Minato - Tokyo Tower] [9:00]
You find Makoto heading to the tower...

Makoto: Kageyama...!

> We're here!

Makoto: Good. I just got here myself...

> You got here fast.

Makoto: Indeed. If you hadn't made it in time, only I could have helped here.

> Are you okay?

Makoto: Mm... Yes. I just got here myself.

Daichi: Dammit... what was up with that Megrez thing?

Io: I thought it was weak... It's really here again?

> We underestimated it.

Io: Yeah, but... how many of them are there...? I feel like we'll never finish.

> What a pain.

Io: Yeah, but we'll have to do it.

> We'll keep fighting.

Io: Yeah... Right... But how many of them are there...? I feel like we'll never win...

Daichi: W-Wait! Who's that...?

[A man with white hair dressed in red and black floats down from the top of the tower, shrouded in blue light that dissipates when he touches the ground.]

???: You're here, children of possibility... new breaths of life.

> Who are you?!

???: Indeed, who am I...? It is my purpose to find out.

> You're in danger!

???: ...You need not worry. That is a manner of kindness in humanity, I suppose.

[The stranger snaps his fingers and Megrez is destroyed.]

Daichi: What...!? What the hell!? He took out Megrez in one hit!

???: I ponder, I feel, I desire.
???: ...Shining One, who are you?

> Hiro Kageyama

???: That is a name... Fleeting, meaningless... yet wonderful.

> How should I know!?

???: Yes... You, like I, search for the path we must walk...

???: But there is no rest for you. Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez.
???: You have already crossed paths with four "Septentriones"...

Daichi: H-Huh? What's he saying?
Daichi: H-Hey Hiro! What is he talking about?

> Be quiet.

Daichi: Huh? Oh... Okay, sorry.

> I don't know.

Daichi: Maybe I should have brought a dictionary...

???: What I defeated is nothing more than a "bud" of Megrez.
???: These buds will continue to come until Megrez's main body is defeated.

[Botis and Bifrons appears behind the stranger. Only Bifrons will appear if you defeated Botis earlier.]

Botis: My Lord... It's time. We must take our leave.

Bifrons: Hey humans. Heh heh heh... Shall I destroy them?

???: Don't... or I will destroy YOU.

Bifrons: ...Fine, geez. You don't have to be so scary about it.

[The demon(s) teleport away.]

Makoto: Wait...! What ARE you!?

???: A useless question... Nothing exists that can answer that.
???: I am the Anguished One. Nothing more, nothing less.
Anguished One: Well then, Shining One...I will see you again.

[Anguished one is enveloped in a blue glow, before he disappears in a beam of light.]

Daichi: Oh. Hey!? H-He just left...
Daichi: What the... He was flying! What's going on!?

Io: And he beat Megrez so easily... Who can do that?

Joe: He has demons, too... Though they acted more like servants than the ones we summon.

[If you didn't defeat Botis.]
Io: Yeah, and the demon that was controlling Fumi was with him too...

Io: What does that mean? He didn't seem like our enemy, but...

Makoto: Yes, and he called Dubhe and Merak "Septentriones."
Makoto: And that monster just now... a "bud" of Megrez. How much does he know...?
Makoto: I'll report this to Chief. All of you, be careful.
Makoto: Watch out for "buds" as well. They're appearing all over the place. Stay on your guard.
Makoto: Well, you can go back now. Good work.

[Makoto leaves.]

Io: Dubhe and Merak are part of... the “Septentriones”?

Daichi: Uhh, hold on a sec! This doesn't make any sense... Let me sort this out.

> Okay.

Io: Umm... O-Okay. Sorry, Daichi. It's not that difficult of a concept.

> No way.

Daichi: What...!? Why not!? Not cool picking on me like that, Hiro!

Io: Umm... It's okay, Daichi. It's not that difficult of a concept.

Daichi: ...It's hard enough to me. What this Septemberones thing!?

> Septentriones.
> Like Dubhe and Merak.

Joe: Sure, yeah. Phecda and Megrez too, right?
Joe: It's like that's what those types of... Actually, it's what the whole group is called.

Io: Yeah... What does it mean? Even Makoto didn't know...

Joe: Well, if he knows about Dubhe and Merak, he must be one of the summoning apples.

Daichi: ..."Apples"? What? Never mind. I get what you're trying to say.

> You think so?

(Conversation continues.)

> You're right.

Io: You think so? I just... I feel like something's not right.

Daichi: Huh...? That's not it? Why not?

Io: That guy was using demons, but he didn't have a phone... and something seemed weird.

Joe: ...Hmm. So what's his story?

Io: Um... Well, he can use demons without the app, and he knows about monsters like Dubhe...

> The website admin?

Io: Oh... right... That's true, we did get our summoning app from Nicaea...
Io: If he's maintaining the site, it's natural he'd know about stuff like Dubhe and Merak.

> He's Nicaeaman.

Io: Nicaeaman...? Oh, I see... That might be it.

Daichi: What...!? He's a superhero!?

Io: Um, no... That's not what I meant. We got our summoning app from Nicaea, right?
Io: Then if he's the site admin, of course he'd know about stuff like Dubhe and Merak.

Joe: Huh...? So, what, you're saying he's the Nicaea maintainer?

Daichi: N... No way! Aww, we could've asked him a ton of stuff!

Io: U-Um, well... we don't know that for certain yet. Let's not get our hopes up...

Joe: True, yeah. But now I'm wondering... This is a bigger mystery than we thought.
Joe: Nicaea and the Septentriones? Seems like they're both the key to this disaster.

> Is he an enemy?

Joe: Who knows? If he was an enemy, though, wouldn't he have attacked us already?
Joe: Hmm... We'll have to ask him about that next time. Though I have no idea where he is.

> Will we see him again?

Joe: Who knows? He flew in out of nowhere. Maybe next time, he'll pop up out of the ground.

Joe: Alrighty. I could use a bite to eat, so I'm heading back! See ya...

[Joe leaves.]

Daichi: Uh, hey, Joe!... Sheesh... He just does whatever he pleases...

You leave the area...
