Fourth World Fighting Tournament | |
| In the end, it was Kage-Maru who won the Third World Fighting Tournament. After it ended, he defeated a new model of Dural who appeared before him. Kage-Maru finally obtained the new item type required to save his mother, Tsuki-Kage. However, Tsuki-Kage actually got worse, transforming into Dural further when the item was used. Ultimately, she turned into Dural completely and “J6” acquired her once more. With Dural again within their grasp, “J6” started to research how they could mass produce Dural. During their research, “J6” discovered that Tsuki-Kage had remained incomplete for too long which explained her lack of abilities somewhat. “J6” started to look for a new target eligible enough to become a new (complete) Dural. They decided upon “Sarah Bryant.” Plans were made so as to acquire her and the Fourth World Fighting Tournament was organized. With many hidden agendas and suspicious machinations going on, the Tournament is now ready to begin. | |
