Lord Ivanovic is dead. Akira and the members of Beowulf have averted all-out war with the three vampire clans and prevented the Bund's nuclear reactor from going critical and raining down radio active fallout across the entire Kantou region.

When the truth finally comes out - that this Mina Tepes is an imposter - there will be hell to pay.
