The demon of the shrine, the mutated Gyaos
that fed on the vital fluids of humans with
such revulsion, had finally mutated into its
final form. It remained in the forest for some
time, snatching those unfortunate enough to
wander into its path. Its whereabouts were soon
discovered; however, and the Japanese Self Defense
force arrived to halt the horror of this despised
demon. Their attempts were futile, and their
losses were great. Iris took to the skies and
began to fly toward Kyoto, where it planned
to rendezvous with an old acquaintance...
As Iris approached the historic city, jet fighters
were launched to intercept him. Their efforts
would soon prove useless, as a much more formidable
foe approached the crimson demon. A large object
was spotted on radar, and it was soon discovered
that this was the titanic terrapin of legend,
Gamera.
Gamera entered the fray and brutally attacked
Iris. The jagged juggernaut was able to ward
off the heroic monster for the moment, as it
descended into the city. Plasma fireballs were
launched from the sky, but Iris was far from
defenseless. The orbs of energy were merely
repelled by its massive tentacles.
The two opposing forces stared each other
down. Gamera bellowed as Iris cried out in hate.
The towering tortoise charged his foe and pushed
him backwards, but Iris countered and plunged
his sickle-like appendage deep into the guardian's
side. A howl of terrible pain shattered the
night as Gamera endured the organic blade that
plagued his resolve. Iris proceeded to slam
the helpless hero into a train station. As Gamera's
wound oozed with blood, Iris turned to his former
caretaker, Ayana Hirasaka. The two beings merged,
and in the endless void of Iris' dark essence,
she learned the truth. Her deep-rooted animosity
toward Gamera for the death of her parents was
misplaced anger, for he was not responsible.
Ayana's thirst for vengeance was lost, but there
was nothing she could do now. She was trapped
in the belly of a despicable beast...
Suddenly, Gamera slammed his hand straight
into Iris and ripped Ayana from his abdominal
region. An infuriated Iris impaled Gamera's
hand into the wall of the train station. The
heroic monster's life essence was being drained
from his very body, and Iris' tentacles rose
above him, prepared to fire the deadly plasma
fireballs that Gamera himself often used. Desperate
and cunning, Gamera destroyed his own hand to
save himself. Iris fired the deadly energy blasts,
but his enemy was not harmed. Instead, Gamera
formed the plasma into a fist conjured of raw,
blazing power! The fist plunged deep into Iris'
stomach, and a powerful explosion signaled his
ultimate defeat. Iris, that demonic Gyaos, was
finally gone forever. His reign of terror was
over...
