Chapter 1
In the beginning, there was light, from the heart of the light, the heavens were born. Pure, radiant and eternal. The light birth it's guardians, THE SERAPHS... Beings of order and balance, sworn to maintain harmony between the realms. But not all hearts remain pure. Among the SERAPHS rose the proud, those who questioned the lights rule. Their rebellion scorched the skies and in a storm of fire and sorrow, the fallen were cast down to the mortal world. The heavens sealed their gates, and the fallens built kingdom of shadows upon earth, and from their anguish, the devils were born, twisted echoes of divine creation. Ages passed, the balance between heaven, Earth and the underworld decayed. War raged unseen by mortals, as Angels and demons clashed in secret for dominion over the souls of mankind. In desperation, the high SERAPHS Forged a new order, someone to protect both light and flesh. Not angels, not humans, but the Angelix. An agency designed to protect the bridge between realms. They would restore what was lost... Or parish trying.
(Presently) Elyndra city.

Iraki's Introduction
Iraki Itsuki (15), walking home from school with a backpack, tired expression.
Close-up of his bored eyes.

She serves dinner, smiling, while Iraki eats silently.
Subtle sadness in Naomi's eyes as she watches him.
Meanwhile (the Angelix Base – Division 6)
Captain Renjiro Takeda (male, calm but strict, scar across his cheek):
"It's been 16 years since we last had any clues on the Grimori. All we know is that the ex-captain of Division 1, Kaisen Tenryu, betrayed the Angelix Corps and stole the book from us."
Team 1 – Daisuke Hayama (male, tactical-minded):
"Does Kaisen have a family?"
Captain Renjiro:
"No. He doesn't."
Team 2 – Ayaka Shion (female, curious and sharp):
"What's the history behind that book?"
Captain Renjiro:
"I'm afraid that's classified… even I don't know. However… we also have a new mission ahead of us."
Team 3 – Hikari Aozora (female, 18-year-old, excitable):
"Oooh, what's it going to be, boss? A trip to the Underworld?!"
Captain Renjiro:
"Of course not. We're going for a rescue mission in Ravenmire City. The city is surrounded by demons. Threat level—B."
(Levels: S → A → B → C)
Team 4 – Naomi Kurosawa (female, serious and confident):
"Alright, let's move then."

(On the Jet, approaching Ravenmire City)
Captain Renjiro:
"Intel says 12 civilians are being held hostage in that church. Unknown number of demons inside. But remember—where there are demons…"
Hikari (Team 3):
"…there are Devils!"
Captain Renjiro:
"Right. Division 3 will support us, but watch each other's backs. Got it?!"
Everyone:
"Aye aye, Captain!"

(On the rooftop of the church)
Their backpacks glow—holy tech equipment activating: rifles, blades, scanners.
Team 6 – Ryo Minamoto (male, quiet, uses sign language):
(signing) "Nine demons."
Captain Renjiro:
(signing) "On my count. One… two… three!"
SFX: CRASHHH!!! (windows shatter)
SFX: BANG! BANG! BANG! (gunfire erupts)
SFX: SHHHHFFFF!! (anti-demon gas released)
Demons screech and collapse as the gas burns them.
Team 5 – Arisa Tanabe (female, calm but brave):
"We need to hurry—more are coming!"
Hikari & Ryo (Teams 3 & 6):
"Are you okay?! Come on, let's move it!" (escorting hostages)
Captain Renjiro (radio):
"A3, A3, 8 hostages secured, do you copy?"
Radio:
"Copy that. Escape convoy en route. Over."
Suddenly—more demons swarm inside.
Captain Renjiro:
"Tch—aren't you here yet?! We're running out of time!"
Radio:
"Roger! Division 3 incoming—look up!"
WHOOSH!!! (Division 3 drops in, opening fire)
Division 3 Leader:
"Don't worry, Captain—we've got this! Rescue the rest!"
Renjiro:
"Roger that! Let's roll!"

(Next Room)
They plant an explosive charge on the door.
Captain Renjiro:
(signs) "Three… two… one…"
SFX: BOOOOM!!! (door blows apart)
Demons screech inside—gunfire rains as Angelix storm the room, freeing hostages.
Suddenly—CRASSSHHH!!!
A massive devil with black wings smashes through the church wall, blasting the squad backward.
Captain Renjiro:
"Quick—fall back!!"
The devil snatches Hikari (Team 3).
Hikari:
"HELP!!!"
Captain Renjiro (shouting):
"HIKARI!!!"
Devil (dark voice):
"Provide us the Grimori… and the child with the rare psychic ability… and I will release her. And the rest of your comrades."
The devil soars into the night sky, dragging Hikari and captured Division 3 members with him.
Division 3 Survivor:
"Sir… they took almost everyone. I only managed to rescue three hostages. The rest… gone."
Captain Renjiro:
"Damn it…! We walked right into their trap."
