Side Text: Arai Takahiro’s long awaited serialization!!

Since “Darren Shan’s” completion 10 months ago…

Man: Pray…

While your fates become cursed…

Arago: Those flames…

Those eyes…

I decided that, I would never forget them…

Page 2 and 3:

As the paths of these twins cross,

The devil city of London will rain blood,

Chapter 1: Arago and Ewan

City of London Police's Special Crimes Investigator

ARago

Page 4:

London, England

Car 5 has arrived at the scene of the crime.

Police Officer: Burn marks, and a severed right leg.

This is third one this month…

Things are getting more serious now…

Ewan.

Page 5:

Girl: Kyaa

Hey, let’s go back already.

It’s cold and this place smells.

Boy: Hahaa, come on baby.

It’s just some mice.

Thirteen years ago, they found a pile of bodies with a burns on their neck in this
building.

Girl: That ghost story about “The sewn together Patchman” right?

I’ve already heard it.

You know that kid’s stories don’t scare me anymore.

Boy: But in these old ruins at night, you can hear the sound of Patchman
devouring bodies.

SFX: *Munch* *Munch*

Boy: Yeah, just like that.

SFX: *Munch*

Enough you noise rats!!

Page 6:

Arago: Sewn together up Patchman was it?

Huh?

Hearing that name…

Really makes me sick.

Page 7:

Chief: I’ve read the report.

I’d prefer if this case wasn't reported to the media just yet.

Ewan: Yes, I think that would be best.

Please excuse me.

Chief: Hang on just a moment.

I think this is as good a time as any,

I’ve recommended that you be promoted to sergeant.

Ewan: But I’m still just an inspector…

Chief: It’s because I’m expecting great things from you.

Given this current case, it’s not that unreasonable.

Page 8:

Everyone: Congratulations…

On your promotion!!

Ewan: It hasn’t even been decided yet,

I mean, how did all of you even know…

Misc Char: Just what you’d expect from the CID’s* star. (*Criminal Investigation
Department)

Nobody’s ever made sergeant so quickly.

Ewan: You guys are getting ahead of yourselves…

Boy: But I saw it!!

Don’t you believe me!? It was down in those old ruins!!

Patchman was there!!

Police officer: Some local high school student that was doing a dare.

A policeman on patrol picked him up.

He says that some monster from an urban legend attacked him.

Boy: That’s him!!

Page 9:

That’s him!!!

That guy is Patchman!!

Girl: Mr. Policeman!!

Police officer: I don’t know what he’s thinking…but he’s been making a lot of
trouble.

Ewan: Hey,

Those ruins…do you know where they are?

Page 10:

SFX: *Step*

Page 11:

SFX: *Pant* *Pant*

Ewan: I've been looking for you…

After all this time, you finally came back…

Page 12:

Arago…

Arago: Ewan!!

That hurt…you didn’t have to hit me so hard.

Ewan: I’m not going to hold back when the other person has a gun.

Arago.

So this is how you’ve been living.

Page 13:

Arago: I figured you’d say something like that.

I’m going to keep going until I stop that guy or I die.

Unnatural deaths…

There have been three of them this month, right?

All of them missing a limb and with burn marks on their necks.

Ewan: I can’t believe that you’re here because of some rumors…

The current incidents and what happened 13 years ago are unrelated. It has
nothing to do with you. Just leave this to us.

Arago: Oh? Leave it to you!?

So I just go back and leave everything to you guys?

Ewan: Its already been 13 years,

Enough is enough.

You should stop living for those who are dead,

Why don't you try living for your own sake for once?

Arago: So, I should be more like you Ewan?

Page 14:

Ewan: Ah!

Acting like an older brother after all this time,

What a bunch of crap.

Ewan: What you’re fighting is nothing but a dream.

You’re the same as Don Quixote, tilting at windmills*. (NOTE: A famous
character and phrase which means to attack enemies that aren’t there.)

It’s funny really.

Honestly searching for some monster from an urban legend, it’s the kind of thing
occultist dream of.

Are you going to hit me?

Like you did that other time.

What’s wrong, you’re shaking.

I guess you were just bluffing.

Are you just acting tough in order to hid how weak you really are?

Page 15:

Arago: The person who killed mom and dad,

I will get my revenge on him.

I’m

Not the same as you!!

Page 16:

Arago: My older twin brother is still the same, it was always his dream to be an
elite police officer.

Even though we look alike…

The two of us are so different.

Every time I see that scar on Ewan’s right arm,

I can’t help but feel guilty.

I'll always feel like I'm not as good as him.

Page 17:

13 Years Ago

In London, mysterious rumors were spreading about a case involving a serial
killer.

On all of the victim’s necks, the shape of a handprint was burned onto their skin.

And at least one of their limbs had been removed.

The victims had nothing in common, other than being young men and women.

There were no clues left behind,

So the investigation hit a dead end.

What’s the motive? What’s the goal? Was the thing doing this even human?

Rumors spread like wild fire, and were patched together until people began calling
it a criminal,

A modern day Jack the Ripper, the mysterious sewn together man.

Patchman.

Page 18:

Patchman killed our parents…

Patchman: Pray…

As your fates become cursed…

Arago: How could you…to mom and dad…

Ahhhhhh!!!

Ewan: Stop Arago!!

SFX: AA

Patchman: Oh…

Page 19:

I see, I see…

Hmm

This flesh…

You've come into contact with my "light", but it doesn't burn or decay…

Such adaption, this is miraculous…

Fufu..it’s what I’ve been looking for.

Do you understand? Are you ready?

Bahahahahaha!!

Ewan: Arago!!!!

Page 20:

Arago: Ewan!!?

As the ceiling collapsed around us…

He disappeared into the flames, laughing as he left…

I’m certain he said,

“We shall meet again”

Ewan and I had miraculously survived somehow.

But…our mother and father…

We were the only two to come out of the wreckage.

Page 21:

I’m going to get him…

With my own hands!!

I swore that I would get revenge.

However,

What do you mean you’re going to become a police officer!?

Weren't we going to do this together!!

Those people are useless!

None of them believed us when we told them what happened!!

Ewan: I don’t want to live for revenge,

I want to actually help the people who need it now.

That’s why,

I’ve accepted that what happened to mom and dad,

was an accident.

Page 22:

Arago:

Ever since then, I’ve been searching for Patchman on my own.

I've crossed over oceans, mountains, and even borders if there was even a
rumor of him...

Right now, there’s a chance that he’s here in this city.

And so I’ve decided that I’ll be the one to end this…

No that's not it,

For once,

I will win against Ewan...

Page 23:

Patchman: I’ve been waiting for this day.

The both of us have,

Page 24 and 25:

Isn’t that right?

Ohhhh!!!

Wh!?

What’s!?

Page 26:

I’m outside of my body…

Am I…

Dead…

Page 27:

Wait!!

Page 28:

Crap!! Where'd he go!!?

Ewan: Arago!!!

Get in!!

Page 29:

What is that guy!

Arago: Just go!!

Ewan: Put your seat belt on!!

Arago: Ewan, what are you doing here!!?

Bastard! You were spying on me!?

Ewan: Stop yelling!! You'll bite your tongue!!

Page 30:

Ewan: My cell phone! We’ve got to call the police!

Arago: No way in hell! That guy is mine!

Ewan: Stop obsessing over your revenge! That thing is a monster!

If we go up against him we’re just going to become victims!

The only thing we can right now is run!!

Arago: That’s…

I just can’t do that!!

Ewan: Arago!!

Arago: I’ve been chasing him on my own for years!

This is my revenge!

If I run now who knows how long it will be until I get another chance!!

I have to do this now!!

Page 31:

Ewan: I can’t be!

Are you kidding me!?

I’ll shake him off!

Arago: Ewan look out!!!

Page 32:

Wait…

Wait Ewan!!

We’re supposed to be twins,

But I’m useless.

Aa

What can’t I ever match up to Ewan?

Page 33:

If it were like that time,

And our positions were reversed.

Would I be able to…

protect Ewan?.

I’m..I’m fine.

I can stand up on my own.

Ewan: I see.

I’m glad.

Arago: I can't…

There's no way I can…

Page 34:

This is the proof.

Ewa…n…

All SFX: Aaaa!

Arago: The scar on Ewan’s right arm is proof of how weak and inferior that I am…

SFX: *Gasp*

Page 35:

*Pant*

*Pant*

Where…

am I!?

I can't move my body very well…

After that car crash….we…

Ewan…

Ewan is!!

Page 36:

E..

Ewa….

Page 37:

Page 38:

Ewan!!

Wake up Ewan!!

Ewan: A…

Arago…

Arago: He’s alive!!

I’m here Ewan!!

Ewan: The one chasing.

I was the one chasing…

That bastard…

His goal was us…No…

Arago: What is this…light?

Page 39:

Ewan: Arago…

You have to get away…

Arago: What you’re saying is stupid!!

You’re coming too!!

SFX: *Clack* *Clack*

Ewan: Hide…

You won’t be able to get away if you’re dragging me along too…

Arago: Ewan!!

Ewan: It’s fine…I’ll distract that monster…

Arago: But!!

SFX: *CREAK*

Page 40:

Ewan: Run Arago!!

Page 41:

AAAA

Aa!

Patchman: Kuku

Isn't it sad, that your bare soul is surrounded by this imperfect flesh.

It's the only way I can see it,

Through your death.

Page 42:

Arago: Die you bastard!!

*Pant*

*Pant*

*Pant*

Page 43:

Patchman: Fufufu. You came back,

Such a good child.

Ewan: *Pant*

*Pant*

Why do you always do this Arago,

You never listen to what I tell you.

Arago: I wasn’t just going to go,

And leave you behind.

It’s adapted quite nicely, I don’t see any burns or decay…

This was the right choice…

My eyes never lie…

Arago: Monster…

Page 44:

Patchman: I’ve always been searching…

For something with the ability to withstand this enormous power…

Until now I’ve barely kept my body patched together with inferior parts…

Since that night 13 years ago…

My soul has been drawn to you, waiting for you to grow.

Arago: You sick bastard! What did you do to us…

Patchman: Ufu…I did it to save your lives.

How is it? Your brother's arm that is?

Arago: What you’re saying is bullshit!

Patchman: I understand that you’re in shock,

But I had no choice.

Page 45:

The two of you were at death’s door after that crash.

Broken bones and torn flesh…it was a tragic sight.

But then I thought "separate" but "the same."

One will die,

In order for the other one to live.

It’s like a puzzle!!

Which were the useful pieces, and which were the unnecessary pieces…

I threw out the useless parts and fixed what was broken.

Page 46:

The two of you should feel honored, your deaths are for my future.

Arago: It’s just like that day all over again…

Ewan: Arago…

Arago: Can’t I do anything…

Patchman: Your prayers are about to be answered!!

I shall save you from your cursed fates!!

Arago: Can’t I protect anyone…

Patchman: The time has come,

This flesh shall be offered up to me!!!!

Page 47:

Arago: Because of me, everyone suffered…

The people most important to me.

I’m tired of being so weak.

Not yet.

These wounds, I hate them…

And how pathetic I am!

Guahhh!

Ewan: This…light…

Arago: I also want…

Patchman: Wha…

Page 48 and 49:

The power to protect Ewan..

SFX: Uu

Uuu

With this hand!!

Patchman: Aaaaaa

Page 50:

What is this…this intense reaction…to me…

This force...

Will I burn once again by the flames of judgment!?

Ahaha

Ahahaha

Aha

Page 51:

Ewan: Uh..

Ah..

Arago…

Page 52:

Arago: Ewan…

I…

Page 53:

Ha

Ha

Ewan!!

Ewan: Ah..

Go on ahead Arago…

I’ll be…

Arago: Shut up!!

The two of us are getting out of here!!

Understand!?

Ewan: You’re strong…

Arago…

Page 54:

Arago: What are you saying at a time like this!?

Ewan: I was always…scared…

That I would lose you,

And would end up all alone…

I wanted you to stop looking for revenge…

That’s why I said such cruel things to you.

I was the one running.

I didn’t want to face Patchman again.

I’m not strong,

Like you are…

Arago: You’re wrong Ewan!!

I've never been able to beat you!!

Ewan: You see…

Page 55:

I was proud,

To bear that scar.

It was proof, that even though I’m weak,

I was able to muster up all of my courage for your sake.

That scar isn’t some chain that binds you down…

It ties you and me together…

It’s our bond…

Arago: Ewan…

Ewan: Arago…

Page 56:

I’m giving my life to you…

Don’t let it…

Go to waste…

Page 57:

Arago: Ewaaaaaaan!!!

Page 58:

Hey…Its been a while…

Ewan…

Oh…

This appearance…

Do you think it suits me…

You’d probably laugh at me…

Page 59:

Just so you know,

I’m not just imitating you…

This was…

something…

That I thought of on my own.

Page 60:

I’ll see you later.
