The team manages to fend off the monsters, but they realize that this is just the beginning of Joker's powers.
Joker then summons a massive, fiery monster, which he calls the "Warrior from Hell." The creature is so powerful that it can easily defeat Recca's friends, and even Recca himself finds it impossible to fight back.
However, Recca refuses to give up, and he makes a desperate call for help. His call is answered by a mysterious stranger who appears out of nowhere and offers to help. This stranger claims to be a warrior from another dimension, and he tells Recca that he can help him defeat Joker and the Warrior from Hell.
