"There's beasts running amok out there. Can I get to them before anyone else?"

When her sights are set, there is nothing that can hold her back, no force in heaven or hell!

It is a risky business, being put in the spotlight, when at any second she could be revealed. What would they think of her should her true nature be captured in these photos instead? How long can she pretend like she belongs?

Everyone harbors a destructive impulse deep in their hearts, though they might have the sense to control it. A strange transformation changes Jun physically and mentally until she is capable of violence and capable of enjoying it, regardless of how much it pains her.

More monsters with unrestrained hunger hunt in the night. They believe they are the only beasts to exist, granting them the confidence to attack freely. That behavior only put them on another hunter's radar.

Only when restraint is abandoned does she begin to attain greater strength from desire.

Destructive Sunday

"I sense a lack of Christmas presents coming my way. After all I've done too..."

Blood in the air. The scent of death attracts. She's bound to find her prey.

Jun would be happy to know that. Likewise, it would be nice to repay that caring kindness with some shared moments together.

If there's anyone who Jun can rely on for comfort in these moments where her control seems so hard to maintain, it's Asuka. She always had her way with words. The beast was so effortlessly soothed under the guiding light of this angel.

But it is a worry, a constant one. If Jun allows the door to her impulses to open even a crack, the monster inside will surely burst out and the madness will begin again.

There is a constant worry that her dark thoughts will escape the confines of her mind and become actions.

It's not death if you refuse it.

Jun's eyes went wide in astonishment at what she was witnessing. In one instant, she was learning that Kazumi still lived, and in another, she's learning that her bestial transformation in possessing her to such ruthlessness. "Kazumi, no!" She cried out to her, but it was too --

In just a few suffered slashes, Jun became aware of how dangerous this beast was. If she was not careful, the next slash could be the last. Despite trying to avoid the attacking creature, Jun was snatched up and kicked back down through the roof of the building. Clouds of dust were kicked up --

The beast she held was dropped as there was little left of them. She was about to get ready to spring to offense, but hearing this last creature utter that name caused Jun to freeze up. "What did you-...?" Before she could finish her thought, she was shoved into the ground. The pain of those --

Beasts attract other beasts. Their presence is felt. The scent of malice and blood follows them wherever they go. It was only a matter of time before they were all found by another, one who has no alliance to their brutish ways, for she is a Devilman. Landing atop the building opposite the one --

The quiet night streets were empty. Hardly any late stragglers wandered, save for a group of businessmen who had their arm around one another to keep balanced amidst their drunken stupor. After a night of drinking, they wandered through the lonely streets, too disoriented to use their phones to --

She almost reached out to Kazumi to halt her, but stopped herself. Her mind raced, trying to figure out the reason for this behavior. "Kazumi... what's happened?" Could she have decided to pursue a life without her past? If so, how could Jun object? Whatever the reason, she didn't want to leave --

Feeling Kazumi pull away produced a soft gasp from Jun. She was in disbelief. Had this been an act? If it was, then what did she do to deserve such cruel treatment? "Scared? Kazumi. You know me. I am not a stranger. You must know that! You must know what we have been through." Rather than --

This was not the response Jun was expecting. It caused her to blink and show disbelief on her face. She hurriedly walked closer to Kazumi and looked her directly in the eye. It was clear that she was not mistaken. This was the same face of her dearest friend who she lost some time ago. "What are --

. Never let you out of my sight Be it day, be it night — … „ Gotta be part of your soul and your heart all the time …

There is nothing between pleasure and pain if you open just a part of your cage.

There were times where she would hope for her normal life to return to her, but that was just an impossible wish. There is no undoing her awakening...

How can joy be full of hate? When thrill is attained through violence!

When worlds collide, demonic monsters come into the presence of androids.

This is what a real warrior is, she considers as she comes down from the bliss of bloodshed. It doesn't take long before the blood coating her hands feels thick and cumbersome, slick and disgusting. She shudders at the realization that she could ever feel such joy from this.

"My world turns red, consuming everything, consuming my enemies!"

Her conscience subsides and her body takes action, reacting on impulse. To know such malice was always in her power frightens her. This thing she's become is unrecognizable as her former self.

"I don't want to do it, but when I do, I feel the pulse. I feel I'm alive."

A battle of beasts ends when one proves the most hellish. Is this a victory to even be proud of?

They'd never know what she'd end up turning into. It was a hell unknown even to herself.

"Sleep will tend to my wounds."

It's necessary to keep in top shape. These efforts here will prepare her for what's coming. As the weights clink and rattle on the bar with every raise, her mind is occupied with the thought of finding a beast far stronger than the last.

"Don't stay out too long. It's freezing."

"It weighs on me, thinking if I made the right choice, if I sided with the right people. Do these humans appreciate my help, or are they only happy for now? When there are no more enemies, will they still want me around?"

"The only present is the gift of silence, it seems."

Yet another year gone by...

"I shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs, but I can't just let another devilman be mistreated just because of the way they look."

Whatever wounds they are capable of inflicting, it doesn't seem to remove the glee on her face, for she has the desire to do even worse to those beasts.

"As soon as some come into possession of abnormal amounts of strength, they abandon their hearts and live as monsters."

"I'll take today to heal from last night's battle."

Tonight, she's feeding the fire.

The devil beasts roam free. As they attack indiscriminately, spreading destruction and turmoil, a lone figure appears to oppose them. One might hope that she is better than those beasts...

"What a still night. Let's keep it that way."
