As the world covered in ash, one man appeared. He would later be called Raffles I. Raffles took his disciples and left on a journey in search of light. At the end of his journey, he found an "unsullied flame," and brought forth light that would be mankind's salvation. Raffles and his disciples used the flame bestowed by the great Sol and the technology cultivated to create "Amaterasu". The sacred flames of Amaterasu benefits the lives of mankind and ended up establishing the foundation of a state in the far East.

"Dr. Giovanni is out to take Vulcan's life?" Arthur questioned after the two soldiers explained the weird feelings they had a moment ago.

"I don't know the reason, but that's what I felt." Shinra said.

"I felt it as well. His murderous intent..." [Y/n] said, getting the chills.

"The captain of the 3rd was here trying to recruit him Vulcan-san, right? Why would he be out for his life?" Iris asked.

"It might have something to do with his history with Haijima." Shinra said. "Vulcan did reject Giovanni's offer." [Y/n] added.

"Even if you tell Vulcan, do you think he'll believe you? I mean, I don't even believe you." Arthur said.

"Does this have something to do with the 'Adolla Burst' that you mentioned right afterward?" Iris asked.

"Adolla Burst...Adolla Link..." Shinra muttered.

"This also happened at Asakusa. It was too distinct for it to be a mere hunch, almost like we were hearing someone's voice." [Y/n] said.

"Moreover, it was real. We can't afford the let this intuition pass by, either." Shinra said, "Sister, you, [Y/n], and Arthur go back to the workshop and tell Vulcan he's in danger."

"Right."

"What are you going to do?" Arthur asked.

"I don't know if we're dealing with just Dr. Giovanni, or Company 3. Still, the other side won't know that we're here, too. If I can ascertain the enemy's movements from a high vantage point, we can make the first move." Shinra said.

"But, Shinra-kun, I can-"

"No." Shinra said, sternly, "If Company 3 gets ahold of you, there's no telling what's going to happen. I- We can't lose you. You need to stay out of their sight, [Y/n]." He was serious. [Y/n]'s eyes saddened a bit. "Okay..." She muttered, "Be careful."

Shinra used his ability and fly into the air. "Arthur, you and I are the only ones who can fight. It's up to you!" He said and flew away.

"Wait! Say that one more time!" Arthur said.

"We have to warn Vulcan." [Y/n] said and led the way. Once they arrived at the shed, they explained to Vulcan. "You say Dr. Giovanni is going to kill me?" Vulcan questioned, "I'm the one who resents him enough to kill him! Why should he come after me?"

"Well, um..."

"It's difficult to explain." [Y/n] said.

"It's kind of like we heard it! That's what it was like!" Arthur said.

"I thought you were a little strange to be Fire Soldiers, but are you also using ridiculous threats to get me to come with you?" Vulcan asked while putting his hand on his hip.

"No, of course not!" [Y/n] said while shaking her head side to side. Lisa's stare was making her uncomfortable.

"You really have no idea why? You have some kind of history with Haijima, right?" Arthur said.
