Memory of Chaos: Brain Unglaus

Memory of Chaos: Brain Unglaus was a character scenario released in Mass for the Dead, featuring the character Brain Unglaus.

Episode 1: Elite Unit
After the Chaos Beast disaster that occurred near E-Rantel, the Re-Estize Kingdom decided to form an elite unit as a countermeasure for the situation. Brain Unglaus who was traveling toward the fortress city, happened to be accompanying one of these soldiers from the special unit to register. The soldier thanks him for the company during the travel and explains to Brain that they will soon be entering the vicinity of the city. Once they approach the gate they will have to head to the Defense Center of E-Rantel for their missions. So far there are only a few members of the special unit, it would be most ideal if there were more warriors like them to help them fight Chaos Beasts, but it cannot be helped as there is a lack of manpower everywhere. Though the unit seems undermanned, Brain thinks it will be fine which the other soldiers agrees as Brain alone is enough considering his reputation and power comparable to the Warrior Captain. Brain tells the soldier not to get all formal with him, as he is just a mercenary that is protecting his country. The solider wonders if he wants backing from the Kingdom, but the mercenary states that he only came to subjugate the Chaos Beasts. Once he's done, Brain plans on leaving. When asked what why he took the job, Brain stated that he made a promise to join the unit in exchange for a duel.

Previously in the Royal Capital, Brain had met with his rival Gazef Stronoff, who told him of the attacks on E-Rantel by the Chaos Beasts. Faced with a shortage on manpower, Gazef asked Brain to lend his help. While Brain had no interest in fight for a country, agreed to go to E-Rantel to handle the situation, on the condition that once it was over Gazef would have a duel with him.

The two make it to the gates and are processed into the city. Brain in high spirits heads to the Defense Center where he meets with a soldier who registers his attendance as part of the special unit. Brain is then given a mission to accompany soldiers on a patrol along the outer wall of the city. Brain expecting a more adventurous mission, asks if there are any pertaining to Chaos Beasts, which he is informed would happen in the future. As of now the soldier wishes to get Brain accumulated on the current situation of the city. To get started, Brain then decides to head out immediately to know the current status of E-Rantel.

Episode 2: Disaster Site
Brain then was accompanied by soldiers who showed him the damage caused by the Chaos Beasts at the outer wall. Brain notes that a large amount of personnel would be needed for the barrier, which a sergeant states that even with soldiers from the Kingdom, the Baharuth Empire, and the Slane Theocracy, in the city they still cannot monitor all areas as they are called to mitigate other areas such as nearby towns. It also doesn't help that the battles against the Chaos Beasts are getting fierce as Brain notes with the discarded swords and broken arrows around the wall. On the shortage of manpower, Brain inquires was it always life this before the Chaos Beasts appeared. The sergeant states that there was never a need to fully man the walls of the city as it was never attacked by monsters. The city was designed in a way that any intruders could be safely subdued by attacks from the upper part of the outer wall.

However Chaos Beasts make those tactics useless as unlike traditional monsters, Chaos Beasts are very difficult to deal with when attacked. Normally, monsters can be inferred to some extent based on their appearance, but Chaos Beasts have very large individual differences. In addition to that, Chaos Beasts are extremely powerful, and difficult to deal with unless there is a large number of people or someone with equal or greater power. Brain thus sees that is not possible to finish these monsters by just attacking from the upper part of the outer wall. Furthermore it requires great organization numbers, preparations for counterattacks, reserves and troops to attack.

Understanding why there is such a shortage of personnel, Brain now fully understands the city's current defense system. And the purpose of the special unit as a force to confront Chaos Beasts while on patrols. The sergeant tells Unglaus that starting tomorrow, the unit will start with a full-scale patrol mission. After listening to the explanation from the s, Plane returned to sergeant Brain returned back into the interior of the city to prepare for the coming theater.

Episode 3: Cooperation
The next day, Brain heads out to the outer wall of E-Rantel with his men to fulfill the request for the subjugation of the Chaos Beasts. From this point onwards, he informs the soldiers of the special unit that they will be patrolling, but wishes to be better prepared when they support each other against the Chaos Beast. Brain thinks it would be best to confirm each other's competence and cooperation.

To do this, Brain wants to do actual battles, but since they are on a patrol mission, he does not have time so they are going to find a monster and kill it. A few members of the special unit think it to be dangerous as some monsters are very powerful, though not as great as Chaos Beasts.

Contaminated goblins soon appear and Brain directs his men to fight them. By working together the group slay the goblins. After the battle Brain Unglaus reviews the unit's battle techniques, and while not impressive their cooperation was not bad and recommends they continue practicing like this, which the soldiers agree, throwing themselves into their training to eventually fight Chaos Beasts.

Episode 4: Performance
The unit while on a patrol mission near the outer wall of E-Rantel, were confirming each other's ability and cooperation against an attacking monster. There is a of running horse, who appears to be the sergeant on horseback. The sergeant reports to Brain that his watchmen just contacted him that many Contaminated Beasts are approaching the city and it also seems following them is a Chaos Beast.

Finally having a confirmed sighting of Chaos Beast, requests the sergeant escort him to coming battle's location. At the city gates soldiers stand at the ready though they are nervous at the prospect of fighting many Contaminated Beasts without proper support. Other think they can hold up until the Contaminated Beasts finally show up, one being an ogre, drastically dropping the soliderss' morale. They are saved thanks to Brain Unglaus who cuts through the monsters with his blade. Apologizing for being late, he and his men join the fight. After slaying all the Contaminated Beasts, Brain wonders on the whereabouts of the Chaos Beast. It is believed to be hiding somewhere. Even though Brain wants to go and hunt it down, he reconsiders as he does not wish to drag the injured soldiers into another battle. Withdrawing is seen as a better option, but before he gives an order, a Chaos Beast type bear appears and attacks.

Now with a target, Brain tells the soldiers to protect the injured and evacuate to the city as he will attract the monster's attention. Brain then lashes at the beast, but the monster is a stubborn one and ignores it wounds. Once all the soldiers are out of the area, Brain activates his Martial Arts "Field" and his "God Flash" to use "Wind of the Great Forest," and in a flash cuts down the Chaos Beast like a puppet with broken strings.

Episode 5: Promise
Brain having defeated the Chaos Beast that appeared near the outer wall of E-Rantel, returned to the headquarters of the Defense Center to give his statement. The sergeant there expresses his gratitude towards the swordsman. Brain humble states that the commander should also thank his soldiers in the effort as well. Brain asks about the future as he suspects that single Chaos Beast will not be the last. The sergeant sadly confirms this to be true as Chaos Beasts regularly appear to harass the city. The solider asks Unglaus to continue to help them defend this city for a while. The warrior agrees that he will stay a little longer. A question is then asked by the sergeant on Brain's Martial Arts technique as why he did not use it to subdue the Chaos Beast in the beginning. The answer is simple in that "Wind of the Great Forest" is not suitable for attacking at long range and that he was saving it when he needed to use it as he was prioritizing the soldier's safe escape.

The sergeant thanks Brain for his help and asks if has any plans afterwards, as several of the soldiers he helped, want to buy him a round of drinks. The warrior gladly accepts the invitation and soon the two head down to the city where the waiting soldiers are who give a cheer to Unglaus for his continued support of the city. As Brain accepts the praise and respect of the soldiers of the city, he thinks about the Chaos Beast he fough and how maybe in the future having the soldiers fight against something similar will be good training. He still resolves to hone his sword arm in E-Rantel and promises to fight once more against Gazef as he joins the party that continues on until late at night.
