(STEP STEP STEP)

  “Where am I?”

  A young man walks down the desert, the sand rises to a high level due to a massive wind, creating a sandstorm. This desert is different, it has silver color sand, the sky has a dark blue color with thousands of stars that resembles an ocean.

  “What was I doing?” The young man continues to walk aimlessly, he doesn’t remember who he was, where he came from or where he was going.

  Bruises and cuts cover his entire body, his clothes are torn up, he continues to walk as he hears a voice from afar:

  “NDRO...ANDRO...ALEJANDRO...ALEJANDRO…”

  “Alejandro? Who is that?” The young man falls to his knees and cries; “I don’t know who I am, I only remember seeing, someone died…Was I a coward? Why can’t I remember who I am?”

  The young man slowly sinks in the silver sand; his eyes turn hollow as he thinks; “Maybe it’s better if I just disappear…”

  At that moment, the Crimson Moon appears, illuminating a figure who stands on his horse up on a hill. The figure’s shadow covers Alejandro; “Hey, you idiot, don’t go dying on me that easily…”

  “That voice...it can’t be…” Alejandro turns around and sees the figure of a Charro mounting his horse. He tirelessly walks towards the figure, forcing his way through the silver sand.

  “That’s right...I know who you are...and I know who I am...I...am…”

  Located in the mountains of Sun City, a fierce battle takes place. A thick mist surrounds the area making it difficult for people to see.

  Kasumi jumps back, as she bleeds from her head, and her hip. She breathes heavily as she holds her hip. Walking towards her, a man wearing military gear with a black robe and a hood. He has a theater mask that has both colors, Black and White. The man holds a weapon that resembles a lightsaber; “You sure are acting tough despite losing a comrade…”

  The man stops and points his blade at her; “You know, this is not personal, but we are members of M.I.S.T but we must take you upon justice...”

  “Ha..ha..I know...but still...you took down one of my agents who was protecting a civilian...and now I will apply my own sense of justice…” Kasumi stands up straight, she takes off her glasses and grabs some blood putting it on her crest:

  “Prepare yourself as an agent of M.I.S.T, I, Kasumi Miyazono, Elite Root of Yggdrasil will show you the true power of justice…”

  A pillar of orange mana emerges from her, making the mist disappear. Kasumi slowly lifts her sword; “Orenjikji: Saidai Modo” (Orange Pheasant: Maximum Mode)
