"How you doing?" I greet Navarre.

"Took you long enough," he snaps back, "Lucifer just left. I tried to stop him, but I knew it would draw to much attention."

I remember meeting Lucifer early in my quest, my original quest, before I tried to save my friends. He would greet us near one of the towns, then here. He must be getting with Issachar and my friends. He'll be back soon enough.

"He'll be back," I explain, "don't worry about it."

"So what now?" Navarre asks. "We can't waste any time, it's only a matter of time before something goes wrong."

He's not wrong, if the Yamato Reactor is activated, it's over. That does put us on a tight schedule. "Kill Lilith early," I reply, "Do that and everything will be fine. I'll go get the sword."

I go to get the sword, same process as usual. I'll have to be back in time to face Lucifer. I'm not sure Navarre can handle him. Even then, I need to kill the VIPs. Then I have to prevent Walter from activating the Yamato Reactor, and Issachar from destroying it. This is going to be close.

I head to the café. I pass by Jonathan, Walter, and Issachar. I sneak by them, they're talking to each other, laughing, enjoying each other's company. I've been replaced! Frustrated and curious, I reveal myself.

"Hey Issachar," I greet, he turns around, "Remember me?"

"Flynn?" He asks, "Is it really you?"

"I don't like this," Walter whispers, "It could be a demon. Be cautious."

"Hold friend," Jonathan replies kindly, they still get along, we still have time, "I'm sure there is some explanation."

"Listen," Issachar explains to the other two, "When we were taking care of the incident in the forest, I found Flynn, he had powerful demons with him. He told me if I saw him in Tokyo, that it was a mistake forbidden by God," Issachar draws his blade, "And he must be killed."

Son of a bitch! The other me planned for this! Issachar summons his demons. Matador, Chemtrail, and the Trumpeter, all powerful feinds. My demons and I prepare to fight.

Issachar lunges, I douge. Lucifrige casts luster candy. I fell power surging through me. Chemtrail casts stun needles, the enchantment on my earnings reflects it back, killing him.

Walter lunges at Shiva, who douges and counters. I cast antichion, killing Matador. The Trumpeter casts judgement light, which effects no one. Issachar casts heaven's bow, killing all my demons before reflecting it back at him. He falls to his knees. Walter and Jonathan protect him. Which begs the question, where is Isabeau? I fell a sharp pain in my chest. She literally stabbed me in the back. I reset, and out of frustration and bitterness, I speak my name.
