The category three Lucifer Hawk that has appeared to Katsumi Liqueur twice in the past has resurfaced, still intent of bringing her back to his world. The outcome of their rooftop battle is different from the last time they met, however, as the creature has had ample time to analyze her powers, meaning Katsumi's spells are no longer effective. The Lucifer Hawk also swore after their last confrontation that he would show no mercy the next time they met, and he's got Katsumi right where he wants her, dangling helplessly from the end of a pole. At the last possible second, Katsumi uses her dagger to wound her unsuspecting assailant, but she is herself badly injured as a result and must be hospitalized. Katsumi's father brought the Lucifer Hawk into this world, which is why they feel it's her responsibility to open the gates of Nemesis for them. It's for that reason that they'll never stop hunting Katsumi, and why she's particularly vulnerable now, unconscious in a hospital bed. H
