Kid Kaiju was having nightmares of strange, armored creatures from another dimension, and they didn’t stop when he woke up--Kei has been waking up to half-completed sketches of these same creatures, sketches he made while asleep.

usually, the monsters I summon are a little friendlier. sure, sometimes they threaten to eat me, but they don’t really mean it.

I don’t think.

you cannot escape!

you have brought me here to ravage this world!

do not insult me by fleeing like a coward!

but this one…

…the weird one that I called up by accident…

…I think he means it!

don’t look back, kei!

too late, elsa!

the savage land. that’s not !

figured that out all on your own, did you? any idea who it might be?

we’ll get that sorted soon enough. but first-- --get down!

that sounds like a terrible deal.

oh, I don’t surrender, know. boy! being I have roasted use for alive isn’t someone with so bad. gifts such as yours! I’ve I will survived surrender, roast the woman worse. and I shall alive, but I shall spare you! spare you!

but not today. that… that behemoth- creature… I swear I buster won’t stun didn’t mean to him for long. …I think maybe it’s draw him! some sort of fin fang foom from another dimension!

fools! a creature of this universe might have fallen before such an attack.

but not I!

elsa…we I’ll use we’ll can’t! the causeway figure out how that to teleport to stop that monster has us home. , but we need to get you wings. to safety first. it can fly. if we don't stop it now, I didn’t here in the mean to savage land, summon but I how long it. can’t just before it make a mess I don’t like this and flies off to a even know populated then leave how that it. area? happened.

wouldn’t that make me a monster, too?

you’re a right fool, kei kawade. you should have told me about your worries before now.

but you’re not a monster. I’ve watched you save the world. you’re a hero.

I thought I so you failed. could control join the club. my powers… but I can’t. I can’t save every person on the planet from every attack. and I that doesn’t can’t be stop me from a hero staking every if-- bloodsucker I see.

do you think captain bloody marvel feels just peachy every time some disaster strikes in one place while she’s saving lives in another?

heroes now--before fall down, that scaly kei… …but they behemoth also get tracks us back up. down… the island I can’t be the only one of mu. who has wondered/ speculated/thought “…summon about this. those monsters of yours and don’t any let’s this.” of you want to end know where we came from?

I didn’t come from anywhere. kei drew me, here I am.

but what about before, aegis?

don’t you have memories of your life before kei drew you? that “big lummox” personality of yours came from somewhere.
