The Monster That Never Sleeps
They called it the monster that never sleeps. Hundreds had been killed before scientists determined it needed light to survive. The problem being, in a city as modern as Tokyo, there was always light.
Tokyo's leading scientists, led by Dr. Hashimoto, came up with a plan to kill the light monster. They would cut off all power in the entire city at the same time, while making sure every citizen turned off every light source in their home.
The plan would have worked. Unfortunately, Toshi Takahashi decided to keep playing his PSP during the blackout.
All of Tokyo was destroyed.
