D-Children: Light & Dark (TV Series): Difference between revisions

While searching through their school's library, students [[Jin (Devil Children)|Jin]], [[Akira (Devil Children)|Akira]], and [[Rena]] discover a Demon encyclopedia thought to have been written by the occult. Rena explains that [[Demon]]s coexist with humans in an imaginary world called [[Valhalla (Devil Children)|Valhalla]], then takes notice of an incantation written in the encyclopedia. As the three students recite the incantation, time freezes, and a shrine maiden named [[Ami Kashihara|Ami]] summons them to a desolate Valhalla. Ami pleads for Jin and Akira, whom she claims are the [[Son of Light]] and [[Prince of Darkness]], to save Valhalla with their latent abilities, as the world was ruined by the evil Imperial Army. Malicious Demons suddenly appear and attempt to take special artifacts from Ami, until Jin and Akira fight back using gun-like [[Deviliser]]s to summon the Demons [[Rand]] and [[Gale (Devil Children)|Gale]]. With their new partners, Jin, Akira, Rena, and Ami embark on a journey to save Valhalla from annihilation and find a way back home.
