[ There is a disturbance in the F*rce at the arcade.

Walking down one of the aisles, your foot bumps into a Doraemon plush. Odd. Some careless kid must have dropped it.

As you take a closer look however (whether by stopping down or just by continuing your walk), another plush you comes into sight. SnoreMax. Next to it, some angry mole wearing a hardhat. Dracula's third child, Alacrud. An abomination with soulless eyes, tufts of fur in its ears, and a narrow yellow beak.

These toys are not strewn about haphazardly, no. Following them is akin to traversing a fuzzy, fluffy trail, with increasingly varied prizes stacked in mounds the further you advance. Rulers, coolers, vinyl decals, instant noodles... All laid out like bodies on a windswept battlefield.

And at the end of the path, surrounded by fluorescent lights, you see him. A madman wearing Everlight's colors, stopped in front of a crane game machine.

—No, not just a crane game machine. It's the only machine in the entire sector of the arcade that still has prizes inside.

Tokusatsu figurines, for the record. And they're quickly disappearing, vanishing into the prize chute before tumbling next to Kaito's feet.

A few employees are just kinda standing at the outskirts, expressions varying from astonished to impressed to outright mortified. They all look to you as if you might have a constructive solution for the rampant 'destruction' wrought by this 'force of nature'.

Do you? ]

[ A solution? Sure, he's got something in mind...

Cue Ryoji rolling up next to Kaito with a...shopping cart? Where did he get it? Don't worry about it. Just worry about why it's here. ]


Hey, there. I figured you might need something to help you get all your prizes home.

[ He's gotta take all these back to base and try to fit them in his room. He's gotta. ]

[ Kaito picks up the last toy to fall from its containment cell right in time for Ryoji to stroll up. Where the heck did that cart come from? Is he also using dimensional storage magics?

Well, whatever. Kaito happily deposits the prize into its new prison. ]


Thanks, Ryoji. I was planning on giving most of these away. This'll make it much easier. But that'll still leave me with quite a few prizes to take back to base...

[ The only magic being used here is theft... ]

You're really amazing at these games, huh? Your talents never cease to amaze me! [ And he wants to give them away? He's so thoughtful, too. ] Is there a secret to your success?

[ Is it possible to learn this power??? ]

[ This goddess is looking with horror at... The carnage she's witnessing. There is no other word for this! Someone has lost it to their instincts and is now on a rampage, getting every last figurines and prizes they can! She would have just gone on her way, had the employees not begged her for help as a fellow outside.

And lo: she approaches him. She's torn between commending him for his competitive spirit and chastising him for being so greedy and taking everything. Ultimately? The later wins, because that's Ishtar-like behavior and she can't approve of it. ]


S-Stop...! Leave some for everyone else!

[ Oho? Someone's approaching him? Kaito doesn't dare turn away from his quarry to observe the interloper. No, those scarred, (theoretically) bloodsoaked hands work deftly to properly end his symphony of (figurative) slaughter.

It is only when the last figurine tumbles to its doom out the chute and between his feet that Kaito turns. Mania dances in glowing(?) golds. The high brought on from his carnage paints a grin over his features.

Those predatory hues lock onto Ereshkigal's. Kaito's beam brightens. He lurches forward as if ready to pounce. ]


Stop, you say? This is but the beginning... The beginning of my new reign over Neo Tokyo's prize machines!

[ And suddenly, he

rears back, arms thrown to either side, doing his best impression or that one crazy blond vampire from the manga series Yukito likes. ]


All will know to fear the Demon of Shibuya! Bwahahahaha!!!

[ —And just when the employees look ready to call security, Kaito's maniacal laughter comes to an abrupt halt.

He whips out a few large paper bags from god knows where and starts picking up the toys. ]


Just kidding. I'm gonna give most of these away to kids around the arcade. These types of games are designed to swindle children out of their money, so I'm doing them a favor.

[ H-Heh? Why is he so close right now? That's not how this was supposed to go! And now...

T-The Demon of Shibuya?

Oh no!! Has he fallen victim to a demonic spirit? Has his sanity slipped? Could it be that the horrors of gambling have gotten the better of him? No matter what the answer is... It's her duty to stop him! But can she scale her powers back enough so as not to hurt him? ]

[ Oh wow, that had all been an act? And he's even planning to do something noble and honorable with the prizes! The goddess starts sparkling (in the most literal sense of the term) and closes her hands together. ]

It was amazing!! You must have rehearsed a lot to go through with that act flawlessly!

[ She knows how it is, so much work... You don't pretend to be evil so grandiosely unless you practice hard. But the result makes it all worth it! ]

[ While Sooyoung isn't in the mood to hit the arcade, there's someone who'd love to hang out there, especially if there's going to be a gathering of sorts. That someone in question is no one other than Abyssal Black Flame Dragon, who keeps bothering Sooyoung almost all morning before she finally gives up and allows him to take the wheel. Actually, it's never a good idea to do that, but sometimes a girl has to make sure her dragon companion has some fun.

Abyssal Black Flame Dragon is quite pleased with the mortified expressions and the destruction (or, in other words, empty crane game machines) Kaito left in his wake. ]


O Harbinger of Destruction, your quest is nearing its end! I applaud you for your efforts in sowing the seeds of ruin! I, Abyssal Black Flame Dragon, shall watch your last battle before the apocalypse begins!

[ All of this coming from Sooyoung's mouth... well, it's definitely Something. ]
