No one is here.

You successfully analyzed the demon.

Whaaaat!? You can see meeeee!?

Even if you caaaaaaaan see me, it doesn't matterrrrrrrrrr! You can't beat meeeee!

Nooooow! Time to experimennnnnnt!

Hyahahaaaa...!

Whyyyyyy!? Why did I loooooose!?

I don't get it! Whyyyyyy!? Arrrrrrgh!!

The demon disappeared...

Either you lost in battle or an error has occurred.

You weren't supposed to see this message. Leave now... leave while you still can!

There's a switch...

Press the switch?

• Yes
• No

The area shook. You can hear a machine running behind the wall...

The elevator started moving.

The switch has already been pressed...

What are you doing here!?

You found the hidden door, didn't you!?

But I haven't been given the order to experiment on you yet!

Wait in your own cell!

There is a hole at your feet...

Jump into the hole?

• Yes
• No

You jumped into the hole...

You fell foooooor it! Serves you riiiiight!

Tryyyyy all you waaaant! As long as you can't see meeeee, I will catch you eeeeasilyyyy!

Noooow! Wait in the cell until the experiment beginnnnns!

Something enveloped you!

You can't move!

You were caught again...

You hear the voice of a demon nearby, though you can't see it...

Hahahaaaaa... You've come again...

Nooow... Go ahead...

I'll graaab you from behind!

The Enemy Search is detecting something from the direction of the voice...

It's the body of a dead crewman.

He seems to have been one of the Elve's crew.

You successfully analyzed the demon.

Keeee!

The cornered demon attacked!

Either you lost in battle or an error has occurred.

You were taken somewhere else...

We're heeeeeeeere!

Now sit there and waaaaait!

Oh no... Another prisoner...

Better keep a low profile, or there's no telling what they'll do to you...

Is that (your name) from Ship 1!?

It's me! Zelenin!

That's right, I was on Ship 3, the Elve...

Is the Red Sprite intact!?

Then at least one of our ships can still move...!

The Elve, unfortunately, was shipwrecked. We were attacked by demons.

Before I knew it... I was caught and brought here.

I tried sending a distress signal, in the hopes that survivors on the Elve could send help, but...

Hm? You received the signal? You came to save me...!?

Mmmm... but there's little point now that you've been caught too.

Still, it was very noble of you, barging into a demon's lair...

You explained the details of your mission.

A Demon Summoning Program...!? You've been using such a thing in your investigations?

Oh... how awful...!

The demons here are monstrous! They've been torturing the other crewmen to death.

And you call them allies...!?

You must put a stop to that at once! There's no way a demon would genuinely help us humans!

You calmed Zelenin down.

...You're right. We won't find a way back to Earth without relying on demons...

It makes perfect sense, logically. But emotionally, it's... less simple.

Anyway, let's put our heads together and think of a way out of our situation.

What can we do with what we have?

You sense someone's presence on the other side of the wall...

Ugh... Ooh... Urrrrgh...

Ugh... Urgh... Inside... Inside...

In... Inside my head!

Someone! Someone's therrrrre!

Ugh... Urrgh... Kill... Kill... me...

Just get it... over with... Kill me... Kill everyone...

It... It's over... It's over...! Argh... Ooh...

Ugh... Rarrrrrr... I wanna live... I wanna live...

Hyahaha! Hyahahahaha!

...Hyaha! Hyaha! Hyahahaha...

Communication with the Red Sprite doesn't seem to be an option.

What else...?

...You heard it. The other crewmen have gone mad with fear.

We're at the mercy of the demons.

There's nothing we can do to fight back...

You offered the Demon Summoning Program to Zelenin.

Me...? Use the Demon Summoning Program...!?

Ridiculous! I could never!

You may say I might not need to use it, but it's better to have for an emergency...

But I tell you if that emergency happens, I'd sooner die!

......

I'm sorry for snapping at you. It's the stress talking.

You're right, of course. There's no telling what might happen.

All right. I'll take it... in case of emergency.

Though I hold out hope that I won't have to use it...

You gave Zelenin the Demon Summoning Program.

I'm sure I won't ever use it, but...

......! They're here!

What you whisperin' 'bout! If ya do anythin' funny, I'll kill ya!

Hey, new guy! Master Mitra be calling you!

Hope ya ready to die!

You were tied up!

Stop it! What are you doing to him!?

Shaddap and stay still!

If ya wanna live to tomorrow, if ya wanna make the pain stop, don't ya think of doin' nothin'!

Now walk! Get movin'!

(your name)...!

You can hear a voice from beyond the door...

You're... (your name)!? It's you, isn't it!?

You're still alive! Thank heavens! I was worried when they took you away...

Thank you for coming back for me... I really need to get out of here.

Can you open the door from the outside?

...Whoaaaaaaaaa! What're youuuuu doing heeeeeere!?

Something enveloped you!

You can't move!

Who's there!? What's happening!? (your name)!?

Oh...! It's that invisible demon!

Youuuuuuu're a fool to defy Master Mitra!

You will noooooooot be forgiven! You will noooooooot be forgiven!

You will faaaaaaace a horrible deeeeeath!

Noooooow! Experiment tiiiiiiime!

Hyahahaaaaa...!

You were taken somewhere else...

You wait heeeeere! We'll start the experiment sooooooon!

You can hear a voice coming from somewhere...

When we covered his mouth, his face turned blue and he started to struggle, but he stopped moving.

Our conclusion is that humans need something called "oxygen."

But when you think about it... he's been reborn into a form that can no longer lie.

We did a good thing! Look what a good thing we demons did!

You can hear a voice coming from somewhere...

When we cut into his chest, a viscous red liquid came flowing out and he stopped moving.

Our conclusion is that humans need something called "blood."

But when you think about it... he's been reborn into a form that can no longer grow impatient.

We did a good thing! Look what a good thing we demons did!

You can hear a voice coming from somewhere...

When we dug into his skull, some grey stuff poured out and he stopped moving.

Our conclusion is that humans need something called a "brain."

But when you think about it... he's been reborn into a form that can no longer feel anxiety.

We did a good thing! Look what a good thing we demons did!

You can hear a voice coming from somewhere...

When we made him drink this stuff, green gunk splattered around and he stopped moving.

Our conclusion is that humans have weak stomachs.

But when you think about it... he's been reborn into a form that can never again complain.

We did a good thing! Look what a good thing we demons did!

Demons and diablos! Let's begin a new experiment!

Today's theme is... "Can humans live like us?"

What will happen when we strip them of their weird clothes!?

Master Mitra is very eager to find out!

Now, human: presenting our lab!

What the... What's all the noise about...? The hell're you doing...?

I just... wanna have fun... Forget... everything...

The missing crewman, Norris, is standing in front of you.

Noooooooooow! Let the experiment... beeeeeegin!

Norris was stripped of his Demonica!

......! Ugh... Mg... Mgggghh...!

Norris is letting out a silent scream.

What will you do?

• Go and save him
• Keep watching

Don't get in our way!

You were thrown back!

You will not disrupt our great experiment!

Now, devilish gentlemen... If we leave him be, this human will soon stop moving!

But, but, but!

If we douse him with the madman's blood our research team procured from the blighted land...

What will happen!? What will happen!?

If we leave him be, this human will soon stop moving!

But, but, but!

If we douse him with the madman's blood our research team procured from the blighted land...

What will happen!? What will happen!?

Crewman Norris was doused with something!

......!

...Urgh... Urggh... Urgaaaaahhhh!

Norris changed into a misshapen horror!

...No, no, no! This isn't it! This isn't it!

This isn't what Master Mitra wants at all!

...Grrrrr... Urgh... Urghrrr!?

Urgh... Raaaaaaaaaaaarrrr!

Norris attacked you!

Something fell next to Norris's body.

...Hm? Hmmmmmmm? This... What is this?

This is an unexpected result! I must give it to Master Mitra!

Something unexpected has come out of this!

The rock-like thing was taken from you.

The demon left...

You checked the Demonica certification number.

It's the one assigned to Crewman Norris.

Don't get in our way!

...(your name)! It's you!

The noise from the next cell was unearthly! What happened!?

You told Zelenin what you saw.

No... another comrade...

...There's nothing you could have done. If you hadn't fought back, he'd have killed you.

Besides, it sounds like he had already become a demon... You did what you had to for his sake.

A moment of silence for him...

......

All right, we can't wallow in self- pity forever. We need to find a way out of here.

The demons are fickle. If we take too long, we'll be the next test subjects.

You found a hidden passage with the Main App once. Do you think it would work again?

A member of the crew is standing in front of you.

Hello...

You are, ah... humans.

...Who are you!?

(your name), did you come here with anyone!?

No? Then who is this...!?

The demons are gone. I've no need for this ruse anymore.

Excuse me.

I didn't mean to alarm you. This is my true form.

I am the angel Mastema. I am a herald of the kingdom of light.

I came to this land after learning of the catastrophe underway in the world of man...

However, my powers are limited in this land ruled by evil.

...Is this another experiment? You're in league with the demons, aren't you?

All your forms are the same from a human's perspective.

I leave it to you as to whether or not to believe me.

But whatever you think of me, I swear that I am an enemy to the demons.

If you have come to fight the demons, I would like to help.

......

I'd like to believe you.

Perhaps you could tell us a few things?

What's going on here? What should we do?

Once bitten, twice shy, is it?

It is natural that you would be suspicious of me, Zelenin.

What you should do is escape this place...

And what I should do is assist you in this.

Let us find an escape route together. I could prove useful.

Hm... This looks workable. It has a looseness to it...

Please stay back.

......? What are you doing...?

Mastema put his hand on the floor.

Some sort of energy forms around Mastema's hand...

...In His name, I cast out evil!

Mastema stuck his hand through the floor...!

Oh! He's digging through the floor with his bare hands...

But that must be painful...!

I am given hands that I might wipe away evil. I must use them here.

The demons' barrier is weak in places. This is one such spot...

Hmm... Urgh...

...Ha! There!

The floor crumbled to reveal a hole leading below.

I may have dirtied my hands a bit, but it worked.

You should be able to escape. Now, let us be swift!

O-Oh... all right. Such power...

...Let's go, (your name)...

You can hear sounds of a struggle...

You...! You...!

...Do you hear that? Where is that coming from!?

Hey, (your name)! You hear it, too!?

Sounds like someone's taking a beating! Where, though!?

...I'm picking up a reading from over here!

Let's help him out, (your name)! Follow me in!

Open the door and cover me!

You... you...! What were you trying to pull, huh!?

Thought you could escape? Thought you could get away from me, huh!?

I'll make it so you never... eh?

Who're you!?

It's go time, (your name)!

Jimenez defeated the demon.

Alright, the enemy's down! Time to save our crewmate!

Hmm... Buh!? What the hell!?

Bu... Bu...

Booooooooooo...!

Tch... What the hell is this? That's a demon!

What a waste of time!

Although... how come he was getting smacked around by another demon?

The demon is wary of you...

You tried talking to the demon.

Boooooooooo...! Boo...?

Boo... Booooo...!

...Whoa. He's a nervous little guy.

Looks like he's had it hard. I know where he's coming from, but...

Hey, man! We saved you!

Hey, knock that off! We just saved the guy's life, even if it was on accident.

Let's cut him some slack.

Boo... Boobooooooo...!

Think about it... he's apparently the enemy of our enemy...

Can't we use that?

Well, wait a sec... I know we're in a hurry and all, but aren't you curious about this guy?

Me, I'm wondering why a demon would be working over a fellow demon.

Boo... Booooooo......!

He's hurt, but he still has some fight in him... Brave li'l guy.

Yeah, uh... what kinda demon is he, anyway?

Jimenez analyzed the demon.

......

Hmmm... interesting.

Take a look, (your name). I've never seen a guy like this.

Jimenez sent you the results of the analysis.

He's called a Bugaboo, and he's a demon all right, but 25% of his makeup is different.

That one-quarter of him is non- demon material. Which means...

He's not a pure demon.

......

These facilities with their tortures and experiments...

Looks like he's a test tube demon.

I dunno what it is, (your name), but this "Bugaboo" fascinates my ass...

...Buga...boo...?

Buga...boo... Bugaboo!

Buga! Boo! Bugaboo!

Calm down, bro. I won't hurt you.

What, you can't talk? Man, you're a pain in the ass!

But I don't care. It's crazy enough that the other demons can talk...

You seein' me, bro? I want to make you my ally...

We're both crazy rejects in this world. Let's be friends...

Boo... Booo...?

C'mon, just look me in the eye. Talk without talking.

You stay here, and you're dead for sure. You run, you'll get caught and killed that way too.

But you stick with me, and maybe things'll turn out different...

...Buga, boo! Bugaboo!

Bugaboo smiled.

...I'd say it's a done deal. C'mere, you!

Bugaboo became Jimenez's demon.

Phew! That went well.

So is this guy gonna be a li'l angel or a li'l devil...?

Time will tell, I guess.

...Alright, let's go, (your name).

Don't get in our way!

Where're you going, (your name)!? Back me up!

Where're you going, (your name)!? Back me up!
