Having thrown off the Oxsecians, your party hurries down a cliffside path.

"Hey, Pepropé. What is Animata, exactly?"

"Animata is where life dwells."

He goes on to explain that she is nourished by the life forms that dwell within her.

But how does she collect those life forms?

The answer is...invasion and exploitation.

In a perpetual quest for organisms with superior life energy, Animata invades planets, obtains specimens there, then manufactures new life forms based on the DNA sampled.

It is she who created humans, beastfolk, lizardfolk, and stonefolk.

The Oxsecians refer to them as parasites, but put another way, they are symbiotic life forms that help sustain their creator.

Meanwhile, the Oxsecians' commander stands before a heavily secured isolation cell.

"Release them."
"B-but, Commander, are you sure? They've been sealed away because they're the most powerful entities ever known."

"No, sir! I will release the Zero Series at once!"

"I panicked a little when Pepropé mentioned astronomical energy levels."
"They were pretty tough, but nothing we couldn't handle."

The three vanquished aliens melt away without a sound.

"We have simply returned."
"Let us begin."

Though their heads are bashed to a pulp, their arms ripped off, and their legs blown off their bodies, the aliens simply grin and fight on.

They are demons produced through mass cloning and do not balk at death.

In place of fear, they know only madness.

While your party is entangled in a battle without end, a hush falls over the Oxsecian ship, a stark contrast to the clamor outside. The soldiers there await one man's words.

Arrayed in lavish attire and adornments, the man slowly opens his mouth to speak.

"This planet, too, harbors an Animata."
"Wh-what?!"

"They, too, surely seek to possess it. Unfortunately for them, we deal with such nuisances by crushing them at once."
"Will Your Majesty be taking to the field now?"
"After two thousand years...
This planet, too, has grown more habitable, it seems."

So saying, the man pauses at the ship's hatch. Taking his cue, he communication officer promptly bellows and order.

"Open the rear hatch!
His Majesty King 54B2, exalted overlord of the Oxsecians, goes forth to battle!"

Your party remains mired in a futile struggle against the three undying warriors.

But Pepropé is about to change that.

"The ruins shall rise before you shortly."

"Pepropé?"

"Run!"
