[OP Sequence]

Kouichi was running as if he was trying to escape from something. Indeed, he was running away from what seemed to be like burning rays of light. He felt it hit against his leg, and he screamed in pain. It burns. It really burns.

'Help!' He could hear the voice scream, it was begging for help. It was asking for him to help that voice. But who was that voice?

'Kouichi-kun... Kouichi-kun!' It yelled, he tried not to look as it felt like it was a temptation awaiting to engulf his entirety.

There was reluctance in his thoughts as he was trying to get away from the voices. 'Wake up, Kouichi. Wake up! Don't let that temptation get to you!' He heard his other self speak, it's been a while.

Huh...?

It's you again...

You idiot, are you just going to let yourself get tempted by whatever the hell is that?

What are you talking about? What temptation?

Behind you.

It's creeping in...

It's slowly...

It's closing-

"Aghh!" Kouichi suddenly awoke from what seemed to be a nightmare, he was panting and sweating. Kouichi's heartbeat was racing fast, and he was trying to catch his breath.

"Are you alright?" Someone asked him and Kouichi jolted from his seat as he saw a plastic bottle with water in front of his face. Kouichi then raised his head up and saw that it was a member of Hitsue High's Cardfight Club: Eunha Lee.

"Ah... Eunha-san..." Kouichi spoke, realizing that he actually fell asleep from sitting down. He remembered he decided to go out and find Ayame, but then an earthquake occurred. It made him anxious, wondering if Ayame was okay. He had to sit down and wait for the earthquake to subside.

"Things are tough aren't they, Kouichi-ssi?" Eunha said, giving the water bottle to Kouichi. He accepted and nodded in response. "I've heard about what happened. Haruka-ssi got possessed, the world's getting into an apocalypse, then Ayame-ssi went missing along with Watanuki-ssi and Kaoru-ssi..."

"Yeah... I couldn't get a hold of them... Especially Ayame..." Kouichi replied.

Eunha sat down next to Kouichi and said, "Do you think we shall go out there and defeat that person who possessed Haruka-ssi?"

Kouichi nods, "I don't wanna stay here for any longer. In fact, I never wanted to just watch. I'm being called a coward because I didn't do anything, but I want to prove myself that I'm not one!"

"Then, we shall go!"

"Not so fast, Miss Lee." Another person appeared, Eunha immediately looked around and saw the Vice President of Hitsue: Tsubasa Tachibana. He was giving a smile as he looked at her, although that smile seemed to be intimidating. "Nah, ah~ You and Mr. Sendou over there should just stay here until Kojima-san and Oyama-san tell us to."
