== Prologue 2: Shadows in the Jungle ==
* Location: Congo River Basin, Democratic Republic of the Congo
* Focus Creature: Dingonek
* Synopsis: The Monster Busters travel to a remote offshoot of the Congo River, where a group of ecotourists has been attacked. Suspecting that the culprit may have been a Dingonek, Zach and John lead the team in searching for it alongside the river's banks. They soon come across a pair of forest elephants, which are scared away by an unknown presence. The Dingonek soon lunges out of the water and pursues the team out of its territory. As night begin to fall, the team returns to camp. As a feeling of dread fills the air, a shadowy entity surrounds and attacks the team. Realizing that it must be demonic, John wields the Raitoshādo Sword to fend it off. Afterwards, the nine-tailed kitsune Hoshi (who crafted the sword in Book 1) telepathically communicates with John. Hoshi claims that the shards have a long history linked with her own, and that the sword's strong energy can attract negative entities like moths to a lamp. She expresses discontentment with John's usage of it, and vows to keep track of it for now on. That night, Zach notices changes on his body, and one of the members falls into delirium. The following morning, Zach resolves an argument with uncharacteristic rage. John stays behind to assist the delirious member, while Zach and the rest of the team once again search for the Dingonek. The team finds the Dingonek along the river's banks, and Zach shoots it with a tranquilizer gun. In order to protect it and humans alike, the Dingonek is transported to the Isla Oculta facility for safety. With their mission complete, Monster Busters return to camp. As the helicopter takes off, John doubles down on his ambition to use assets in the field.
