[LR3 M3] Phase 1 ~ Intense Heavy Meow-tal

[CYCLE #10790]

The two step into the remains of the lab, the Lost disposed of, and finally encounter the Baron. He seems... tired, annoyed. He stands from his seat, staring down the ones who remain. 

"Do you two ever stay dead? It's becoming troublesome, killing you over and over again... Alas, I wasn't hurting for free time anyway."

He approaches them, and the two prepare for the fight of their lives.

...unfortunately, the Baron only prepares for routine.
