<i>The boy begins speaking, while the dragon keeps a wary eye on Despair's weapon.</i> A: Excuse me, but do you know where we are? Gale and I just found ourselves here a while ago.

G: Language. There are children here. A: A-anyway, we should probably step in. That boy... girl... whatever doesn't stand a chance against a demon! <i>Gale nods, then lumbers forward to stand next to Despair as Akira pulls out a strange blue device.</i>

So... She's going to destroy the world? But how? <i>Akira tilts his head. Gale speaks up.</i> G: She doesn't seem to be a Demi-Kid, so that can't be it... Nor does she seem like a demon...

A: But... <i>Akira finally speaks up.</i> A: Exactly how many people have you killed? Shouldn't you... You know... Try to find out why they were sent instead of killing them all? G: But she just said they just blow up. A: But couldn't you just... knock them out and take the bombs?

<i>The kid's seen quite a few demons before, but either way, Gale shifts his position so Akira doesn't see the body. He's a bit too young to take something like that. He growls and bats Despair on the head.</i> G: Watch it, miss.

<i>Gale huffs.</i> G: In case you haven't noticed, there are children here. <i>He gestures towards Akira.</i>

<i>Since Despair obviously isn't listening, Akira finally decides to ask the Prophet the plot-advancing question:</i> So... what was it you wanted to say?

Let's just... go, Gale. <i>Gale hesutates, but it seems better than continuing to argue. He crouches down to let Akira climb on, then flies off.</i>

<i>Despair wouldn't have to wait too long. A blue-haired kid comes into view from behind a pile of rubble. Following him is a large dragon, which towers over him.</i> See anything, Gale? <i>The dragon sighs and shakes his head.</i> G: Unless you count those explosion sounds, no.

<i>The boy finally notices the girl and her little fox.</i> A: Oh, are you los- <i>He's soon interrupted by the arrival of a fancily-dressed skeleton... Gale spreads his wings and stands beside his master.</i> G: A demon?
