"Giant black orb?" Nitori tilted her head in confusion. "No..."
"If I had SETH attached to me, I would've been able to see it." EVE complained.

"Why are you here? Aren't too young to be considered a head honcho?" Kaguya asked Flandre.
"I'm here in behalfs of my big sister." Flandre pouted, tugging on her Remilia costume. She must've confused Akyuu from real Remilia. How peculiar. "When Saku-chan told me I had to go to this meeting with her, I thought, I need to look charismatic. So I put on the costume of the most charismatic Youkai, who is Remilia."
"You don't look that charismatic to me." Kaguya taunted, sipping on her tea. "To me, you're just another dangerous freak."
"I'm still extremely enraged that you built a temple for Buddhism, a religion I used for politics, over my grave." Miko frowned.
"It wasn't exactly my fault. Besides, consider it my revenge when you sealed me in Makai for being an ally of Youkai." Byakuren countered.
"You two are both dumb as brick, like all mortals." Kanako smiled as she drank her dish of sake in one go. "Shinto is the true religion of Japan. Has been like that, and always will be."
"Can I have some silence in here?" Akyuu asked, and the leaders stopped arguing and bickering. "We're here in the call of Yukari Yakumo, the Youkai of Boundary. She has an important observation that she wants to share with you all."
"And exactly what is this observation?" Miko asked. "This meeting is nothing but a way for her to check up on our whereabouts."
"Not exactly." Yukari smiled as she gap'd in the middle of them. "I called you here because of an ancient prophecy unknown to most of you."
(Pardon the Google Translate'd Japanese.)
"光と闇の担い手が世界に表示されたら、世界の食べる人は、混沌の軍勢で地球を破壊します。 (Hikari to yami no ninaite ga sekai ni hyōji sa retara, sekai no taberu hito wa, konton no gunzei de chikyū o hakai shimasu.)" Yukari chanted, word from word. "When the bearer of light and darkness appears in the world, the eater of world will ravage the earth with the army of chaos."
"Bearer of light and darkness?" Byakuren reiterated. "You mean, like an yin-yang orb?"
"Close, but not quite." Yukari answered. "The light and darkness is not literal. It means that the being that wields them have experienced both hope and despair."
"But don't all beings experience them?" Kanako frowned.
"You see, the ability to experience hope and the ability to expel the hope into light energy is the difference between night and day. This being that has been talked in the prophecy, he, or she, must be able to project the literal light and dark abilities by being fueled by hope and madness, respectively." Yukari responded.
"And do you know who this bearer is?" Eirin asked.
"Actually, within my journey, I met a man that has recently harnessed the ability to tame both light and darkness." Yuuka answered instead. "Many of you might've met him. His name is John, or Master Chief."
