INTO THE ABYSS. With the help of their new scientist Viktor Licht, Company 8 has tracked the Evangelist's minions to their hideout in the forbidden underground known as the Nether. With special permission from the Holy Sol Temple, our heroes launch an attack, but the enemy is ready for them. And when the members of Company 8 become separated from one another, they must find the courage to face their battles alone!

Kid's sense of order stands in sharp contrast to the unpredictable madness of the Kishin. But order and madness are two sides of the same coin. When Asura challenges the "tyrannical" Shinigami and his laws that serve to control humans' lives, Kid can feel the tendrils of madness within himself seeking purchase. The bonds of his friendships and his faith in order are tested to their limits as Asura makes his final stand against the forces of DWMA....
