Changes

They are sent to the small village of Hinohara just outside of Tokyo to investigate disturbing rumors and disappearances. The local PBI office is located in a sub-level underneath [[Hinohara Nursery]] where they meet the local investigator Ando Jin who seems more interested in hiding then checking out what is happening. The group checks a couple of leads in town and question a woman whose son is missing. There is a strange damp odor in the air around the scene and the boy's room seems to have been wantonly destroyed. They learn that these events only seem to happen after dark and head back to the nursery to wait for nightfall. Ando shows them to some quarters and they take a brief nap. When they are leaving the nursery they find Ando impaled upon some kind of spike and run into Kaneshi Jiro, a strange demon-like charcter. Kaneshi explains that he just showed up there after hiding in the woods for a few days and doesn't know what happened to Ando. The group takes him along on their investigation to keep an eye on him. Once in the woods they run into some shadowy wolf creatures including one giant wolf that taxes their abilities. After defeating the wolf they investigate its bone filled lair and come upon a strange book in the midst of pentagram and floating above a pool of blood. '''Third Mission''' After finishing the investigation at Hinohara the PBI sends a train out to pick them up and the remains of Ando. On the train ride back though Ando rises from the dead and Sephiroth St. Cloud confronts this horrifying spectacle in the lab room. After a brief battle Sephiroth decapitates the corpse after one of the PBI members have their hearts ripped out. They lock up this new body in case it rises from the grave as well, which turns out to be exactly what happens. After reporting into the PBI headquarters an alarm goes off and all watch in horror as a glowing orb wrecks destruction on downtown Tokyo before exploding and taking out Ueno Park. Saitō Aiko volunteers for a experimental test to see if the PBI can find the source of this evil. This test leads to an out-of-body experience for Saitō and leads her to a strange mansion in downtown Tokyo in a location now occupied by a skyscraper. When the group investigate the mansion they find a group of monks performing some unknown ritual guarded by two Templars. The group attacks and after a rough battle wherein a couple of them almost lose their life, they finally defeat the last of their foes. Within a hidden room they find a bunch of holy relics, that Sephiroth proceeds to destroy, along with a creepy beating heart within a glass enclosure. Upon returning they find PBI HQ infested with what appear to be more zombies and Sephiroth goes on a killing rampage. The others are not sure what is going on and Saitō is the first to discover the illusion and that they PBI members are not zombies, but instead are in some kind of stupor. After locking up Sephiroth Saitō goes looking for the president, who is missing, and finds her held by Daimo, who was thought to be dead. He take the beating heart from Kido and implants it into his chest becoming a monstrous demon and attempts to tempt the group with great power into joining his side.
