Episode 2, Chapter 7: The Identity of the Black Legion

Hehe, the Black Wind... It fills me...

Heh... I'm this world's true champion!

That's my brother! Nero!

I'll purify him!

Oh no...! The corruption is too deep...

Nathan...? Hehe, hey bro...

Huh? Maybe now...!

Ugh, my head hurts...

Are you okay, Nero?

This child is still...

Whew...

Good work.

There's still another kid...

The corruption lifted for a moment when Nero saw his brother.

Something that'll bring back memories... Right, that's what we need!

Alright. Rest here for a bit.

Urgh...

Are you awake? What happened?

I don't know. This black wind blew and... my body started moving on its own...

But then, I saw my brother, and it was like I came back.

What about my friends? Save Jerome too! And Nitta... Where did Nitta go?

What are some things your friends like? Anything is fine.

Um... Jerome likes sword fighting.

Nitta has a teddy bear she always carries around... a pink teddy bear.

A toy sword and a teddy bear... Okay.

Find something that'll attract Jerome's attention

It's... a toy shield? There's a sword too.

That's perfect. He's supposed to like sword fighting.

I must slice through the darkness... I need...

A sword to cut the darkness...

Maybe this isn't it...

This is... my sword... Devourer of Darkness...

Now!

*Huff, huff* There.

Huh? Who are you? Where are my friends?

Kid, you with us now? What happened?

I was locked up in a... room of total darkness... How did I get out?

His mind was trapped in the Void.

There's supposed to be one more kid.

Nitta... She likes to hide up there in that ship they're fixing.

We'll save Nitta, too! You get to safety!

Are you alright, Siamese? You seem exhausted.

It's alright. I can handle it...!

Aww, a teddy! This must be Nitta's bear.

Let's take it.

Nitta?

State your purpose, lowly mortal...

She's definitely corrupted too. I can feel an even bigger void presence within her.

Can you... purify her?

I must. Show her that teddy bear.

Ugh, what are you doing to my body, you filthy creatures?!

Are you insulting me...?

Yikes, must have picked the wrong one.

Pinky... Where have you been...?

Alright, now!

You... oh, you..

Huh? Me...? Shall?

shall... shall...

Oh- oh no... The Void is getting bigger!

die here!

Everyone, stand down.

You are so eager to speed up your inevitable demise.

It is in your nature... to dive headfirst into destruction...

Always rambling on and on and on!

Don't think I forgot what you did to Reina, you overgrown chicken! I'm gonna make you pay!

Focus. As long as you don't lose your concentration, it doesn't matter if you're facing one or one hundred enemies.

Ugh, speak for yourself, Commander Freak.

*Huff, huff* They just keep coming. Can we really make it?

How many more are there?

*Huff, huff*

Get out of my way!

Meow!

Hahahaha! Hey Flare, why's it taking you so long to cook these small fries?

I thought your bones had been shattered into pieces and you couldn't move anymore!

...That's an exaggeration.

How... did you recover so quickly?

Ah, this kitty right here made biscuits on my sore spots, and before you know it, all my pain went away!

If anything, I've got more energy than ever!

You can do that?!

It's true. I saw it with my own eyes.

Friar Ragdoll!

Wh-what about her? The corruption is still strong.

Meow!

Nya, nya, nya, nya...

Oh, the Void... Friar Ragdoll, now is the time!

Oh, yes!

Where... am I?

Are you with us now? Everything is alright.

What about the others? And the Shellymanders...

Your friends are fine. As for the Shellymanders... Why? Did something happen?

The Black Wind kept whispering in my head.

To kill the Shellymanders as a sacrifice.

To offer everything we've got to it... for the Void to... Agh, my head hurts...

There's no questioning it. The sealed power of the Void is breaking free...!

And the residents of Port Vellum are being consumed by it.

Are we not too late?

No, there's still a chance. Aeon is still standing.

But this fear, dread, destruction, and discord that's spread through Port Vellum... Pain and death...

All of these negative feelings will be consumed as offerings, fueling the seal's collapse.

There's no time to waste then. Let's go.

Commander! I'll take the lead.

I'll wipe them all out!

We must prioritize the townsfolks' safety.

Do not forget that, Reina.

Reina, you could learn a thing or two...

About maintaining composure from Commander.

...Ugh, you. Everyone has their own role.

Get ready. There's no room for mistakes.

The Void Energy is moving.

To the north! We must hurry!
