Traveling to India to investigate a possible connection between Algernon and the mystical Ajanta caves, the Akamatsu Industries team instead finds yet another threat: the monster that supposedly dwells there. The team quickly learns that the Behemoth is no myth, as all but Keita and Hinoki succumb to its hallucination-inducing cry. But nothing is as frightening as what Keita sees, and what he sees is all too real. Betterman, who's no match for the monster, is quickly overpowered and appears to have been killed in battle.
