Summary
Shi and Cyblade are trapped within an area surrounded by a large wall. They talk of scaling it, but then Cerebus appears. Cerebus is surrounded by a glowing energy sphere and lifts the two women over the wall. He explains that the two of them have been chosen to face the bad thing on the outside of the wall that "wants to eat us". The two women go through a series of challenges, meeting up with various other independent comic characters and they finally meet the monster.
They battle the monster, finding a parasite inside it. Cerebus reappears and asks them what they will do with their new prisoner, the parasite. The various characters go home and they decide have him explain his actions.

- Cerebus states that he "rather have been drinking in a tavern in Lest". Quite possibly a typo and they meant to say Iest.
