Purrfect Apawcalypse: The Day After (or IF4) is the 5th installment in the IF Series, where it focuses on volt being pu in the international wanted list, an attack on the capitol of kemono town and the possible end of the world

## Plot

The story starts with volt saying "Since that day a long time has passed, i have no regrets i was able to...", then it cuts to Miles' house, where the rest of the cast except for volt are present to have a reunion and a party. Sora asks where volt is and tomoka remembers that yesterday he saw him at the mall with a bouquet of flowers, however volt tells that he will be later for the meetup as he has a "field trip"

It cuts to noel and sora saying that volt does something this exact day every year, then a news report from the television details how the Capitol of Kemono Town was attacked 140 members of the parlament are missing and the entire capitol building is gone. Due to surveilance footage they found one of the perpetrators, which in the television ends up showing a profile picture of volt leaving everyone very confused and shocked at the news

### Chapter 1 - Forget Me

The chapter starts with volt seemingly escaping and detailing that he left his phone behind accidentally as his father and the school were calling him. Just before that scene, volt is walking through kemono town and bumping accidentally into Filou, he enters in cotact with the rest of the group. Where its discovered that they are volunteering to clean up the mess they left at kemono town during the events of Ideal Finale

#### Attack on the Capitol

However their chat is interrupted when there's an explosion, lucifer identifies it as coming from the capitol building, everyone goes in a rush to investigate what happened. Inside the capitol there's demons and dead people, the group moves in and rose manages to sense a magic pattern, dusk teleports them out of the capitol before it vanishes

Eventually dusk tells volt to inform miles and the others of the situation as they remain behind to evacuate civilians, volt runs to kemono woods to try and find miles' house. During his trip he avoids corrupted soldiers that want him dead and other things, eventually running into an old cabin where he finds cathpalug, eventually cathpalug decides to guide him to miles' house intead of using magic (since he's on atonement because of his sins)

Back in miles' house (just after the attack on the capitol and when volt begins his journey on kemono woods), sora gets a call from Diego, he tells that he's not able to contact volt, he tells sora and the rest that they could be targeted adn to not trust the police or the military as something deeply wrong is going on

At the same time in kemono town, the magical cats go around the city, dealing with corrupted military personel, zombies or demons, cleaning the outskirts of noel's mansion, the mall and Hachiko Highschool. On that last place after cleaning up it's discovered that they were present and that was the moment Dusk noticed Sora and his investigation the old magic studies that ended in the attack in kemono town began

Soon lucifer notices something obseving them, they change plans and head for the misterious figure, however into kemono woods it starts to slow down gradually, the creature temporarily blinds them with a flash and the group manage to avoid one of it's attacks. When the creature turns around everyone is left shcoked, and by the shadowed sprite we can see it looks similar to volt

#### Planning our Next Move

In another part in kemono woods, sora, miles, noel, emma and tomoka are searching for volt, thankfully volt and cathpalug find them and everyone is gathered. However shortly after the sky darkens and cathpalug tells them to not look at the sky, he tells them that they have to be ready for what they are about to see. Volt and everyone looks up after a moment and they realize that there's another earth floating above their own

Everyone starts to freak out, however cathpalug calms them down after shouting to shut up, he tells miles that the wisdom miles obtained when making the contract with the demon could help in the situation. In the end miles doesn't manage to think of a plan, a bit later cathpalug tells someone to get out and show themselves

The other's haven't noticed that they were followed, the misterious cat introduces herself as Jady, that she's from the alternate earth that's floating in the sky and that she knows almost everything, she suggests they move to a calm place so they can talk, eventually everyone goes back to miles' house. There they start talking, for a moment cathpalug is surprised to know that jady, somehow knows his first name

Jady answers that she was involved with cathpalug in the other world and that they are "saviors", but in fact they are just terrorists. In short, the world she comes from is labeled as "World B", that the planet is dying and she got a sign from god to "Save the World". After these declarations cathpalug labels jady as a "delusional maniac". Jady knows this and she says that her purpose is to save both worlds and the two earth's colliding, but Windy won't allow it

Cathpalug tells everyone to calm down, saying that if it was the end of it, jady wouldn't have shown up in the first place. Jady then tells that windy was with her, however she betrayed windy due to windy wanting "revenge on the world" by not merging and colliding both worlds- Jady details that windy is powerful and alone she can't stop her

Finally they ask what is happening, to which miles describes it as a "fusion phenomenon", with cathpalug following it as "it's when two identical being from different worlds meet, they merge" and ends up asking if they know of "paralel worlds". Detailing that if organic beings from different worlds that are identical meet, they merge into one, jady follows that the memories and pursonality are replaced by "the future one that is originally going forward" and the bottom line is that when the worlds merge everything will 'return to normal history'

Jady afterwards admits that she mind controlled the police, the military and attacked the capitol. Then miles summarizes everything, Jady and windy are terrorist from the other earth, after taking over the military and police, windy attacked the capitol and blamed it on volt and the rest, jady tried to save her world and windy wanted revenge, but jady then regretted her actions and became a target for windy and finally she went to search for them to help her stop windy

### Chapter 2 - Doomsday

The truth is revealed and the group finds themselves in an even bigger problem than last time

#### The Search for Miles

At the same moment, Lucifer, Dusk, Filou and Rose managed to teleport away after fighting windy, rose is injured but can recover, filou is sent to find miles' house and to inform the rest of who windy is and what is happening. He goes across kemono woods, going across his house for a brief moment (though no one answers and its put in clear that everyone is dead inside the house, though filou doesnt know). He goes through the old tree were daisy and oscar made their promise at the end of Invert Frontier. He talks about the future, about lucifer becoming the rector and Dusk and Rose getting married, eventually he continues his journey

#### The Search for Windy

Right back at miles house, 10 minutes later, they come up with a plan, they divide into two teams. The first one being composed of Volt, Emma, Sora and Jady are going to neutralize windy, while Miles, Noel and Cathpalug will try to stop the ritual, tomoka stays in the house. Then the first group starts going through kemono woods to find and defeat windy

During the search, they stop to plan on how to fight windy, with jady giving both sora and volt a magic system to share magic and strenghten themselves. Since sora can use magic due to him being the son of a god, the side effects being that it puts the body on strain. After that, jady also comes wit hthe plan that emma can be used to enchance sora's power when needed, emma needs to cover sora to do this

After a moment sora and volt go alone to think of something as sora is suspicious of jady and decides to make a backup plan, h gets a cutter and tells volt that he's going to draw a magic circle in him, so volt is able to use magic power on his own (and to siphon magic power)

They resume their journey and find windy in an old church, windy turns around and leaves everyone shocked except for jady, windy looks exactly like volt, but with clear differences

#### Bad News

Filou finally reaches miles' house and only finds tomoka, soon both of them head to kemono town's central square to inform the rest of the situation. Noel and Cathpalug are trying to supply power into the magic system but it's not enough. When arriving, filou reveals that they should not let windy and volt meet

### Chapter 3 - Inborn Fate

Everything depends on a single battle for now

#### The Truth is Revealed

Volt and sora start the fight against windy, but the side effects are known at the moment, but they are still determined to defeat windy, at first they have trouble fighting her, but eventually volt (as he's going to be hit with one of windy's attack) discovers that time somehow has slowed down and he's able to dodge windy's attack, then the second phase enters into picture as emma covers sora to further enchance his powers

They keep fighting windy and avoid her attacks, however windy reveals that she was going easy on them and asks if they still want to fight, the fight continues and both volt and sora are on trouble, with windy having a chance to kill volt, she doesn't do it. Instead she keeps fighting and sends volt to a wall with a kick, at the same time emma can't take the strain any longer and separates from sora

After this, windy declares that it's the end and fires a magic bullet at volt, hwoever sora's backup plan enters into action and volt rises up again and has a clear strike at windy to end the fight. But he doesn't, windy protests this as "you have taken everything from me and now you take my right to die", volt revealing that he's windy's brother

In the central square, filou reveals that Windy and Volt are twins. Cathpalug states shortly after that if they are twins (even from paralel earths) contact would be no problem as they are not the same being

Back in the church, jady says the same thing, that windy is volt's twin sister and windy says she's for revenge, to kill the guy that "took everything from her", however volt accepts his fate and gives the chance for windy to kill him. However windy is unable to kill his brother, finally coming to terms with him and that the problem is over

However, jady states that "it's only the beginning" and the church is surrounded by a magic pattern, it turns out that she was just using windy and the others to make each other fall apart, though before she can strike them. Dusk, Rose and Lucifer apepar to save the day, jady mocklingly tells them that "You guys are the losers who failed, after all the manpower and preparation you ended up as volunteers cleaning the town", dusk teleports everyone before jady can strike them

#### Kemono Town's Central Square

Everyone is gathered at the central square, where the information on what happened is shared, first that jady used them all. That windy is volt's sister from the paralel world and that her body was not originally hers, but it's from the volt from "World B", so in part Windy is both "Volt and Windy". And for the world's merging, miles details that if the worlds do not merge something could fray somewhere and eventually perish

Cathpalug continues this as stating that, either the fusion is never completed or it stops halfway through and forever. Windy then speaks up about what happened to her, that she was in a place of infinite darkness, not hell or heaven. Then a jade colored light appeared and she found herself with a body in front of jady, who told her "Will you save the world with me?"

After that jady said "Your brother's body, it blends in well doesn't it?", windy was then flooded by the memories of volt and she hated volt, questioning why she wasn't born, why did only volt have to live and everything she missed and that volt lived. Jady then said "You can get back everything that was taken from you, okay?"

That's when she decided to fight alongside jady, windy discovered she had a tremendous magical talent, jady stating that "it's ancestral", then jady betrayed her and sided with the IF cast, but now she realizes she was just using her and the IF cast. That not only she killed innocent people, but was used by jady and even went against her own brother

She almost says that she shouldnt have been born and volt cuts her off, telling how when he was younger his dad told him about his mother's miscarriage, that two people should have been born, when suddenly the other person dissapeared from her mom's belly. Everyone labeled as a miscarriage but volt didn't think so, today was the day windy dissapeared from her mother's belly

Volt questions himself that this was not the live he wanted to live, that he was living to make windy ammends, he continues that he should have never been born as he took everything away from windy. This is when sora intervienes and is angry at volt for thinking that he was a "replacement for someone", and because volt told him in Ideal Finale that sora was 'himself' and that volt was now denying himself and his friends, that they were saved by Volt Steiner and no one else

Later on sora goes to be alone and cathpalug says there's still a grace period on the magic system, that if he has anyone to talk to he can do it now

##### Windy

Volt goes and speaks with windy, telling her that everyone are idiots in some way, that they can start over and eventually meet their dad, windy questions that if deigo knows who's her and volt answers that of course since he's their dad

##### Noel

Noel and volt have a snetimental conversation about what just happened with sora, volt promising to be back and sort out things with sora, both hug each other as noel is driven to tears

##### Miles and Tomoka

With both of them, they speak about the bickering between him and sora, volt tells them not to worry and that they spend their possible last moments happy, since he delcares as "you guys are the best couple i have ever seen"

##### Dusk, Lucifer, Rose and Filou

They talk to him about his bickering with sora, dusk suggests he should apologize to sora annd fix things with him, as he noticed volt's voice was shaking at the possibility of dying. Dusk wants to make sure everything is solved between volt and sora to pay thme back for the events at Ideal Finale, volt thanks them and he makes sure to apologize to sora

#### Final Preparations

Then an earthquake is felt as it signals the earth's are on the move again, emma manages to find the capitol building floating in the sky, cathpalug makes the maths, they can send two people with their magic to fight and defeat jady. Windy offers herself to go, but volt tries to stop her, then he proposes they can both go to fight jady, at the start everyone is dumbfounded and shocked at the idea

Cathpalug makes everyone go silent and let volt explain about him managing to dodge windy's attacks as time slowed down, then cathpalug explains that when windy took on volt's body, part of volt's soul mixed with her. Miles continues this by explaining that souls are originally considered one being, but when volt and windy entered in contact with each other, their souls reacted, meaning they both can do magic without needing a magic system

Before being sent, volt goes to talk with sora, apologizing for saying something selfish and not accepting himself, in the end both come to terms again as volt accepts himself and sora tells him to go save the world alongside windy. After that volt and windy are sent to the capitol building to defeat jady

### Chapter 4 - Perfect Apocalypse

As they arrive at the capitol, they face off with jady, windy wants to make her stop the ritual and go back, to atone for their sins. However jady is still going to make the world's merge, she tells them the truth, windy was never fated to be born since in both earth's volt was born. That thing of 2Volt ook everything from windy" was a lie, windy was never going to be born

#### The Final Battle

Jady only fueled windy's hatred for volt, shortly after this, they fight jady, who deploys a magic barrier and other measures to defeat the twins. The fighting escalates until at some point the capitol building explodes in the atmosphere as the others watch from the ground, with cathpalug saying that the powers diosplayed by them are something none of them on the ground can reach

Windy and Volt then take the lead and soon enough, jady's magic barrier starts to crack and to dissipate, windy and volt keep attacking her as her defences shatter. Jady is defeated, though she reveals that killing her won't stop the merging process, nothing can since "it's the will of god" as she told them before, soon after she passes out

#### The End is Invevitable

Volt relays the news to the cast on the ground, the merging cannot be stopped, as it was bound by god's will and jady was only a servant for that purpose. They were set to lose from the start, volt wants to give his final words to everyone

##### Cathpalug

Volt thanks cathpalug for his help, not only now but also the other day, he also tells him to watch over everyone until the end. Cathpalug says he should be thanking volt as thanks to him, he made peace with miles

##### Dusk, Rose, Lucifer and Filou

Volt tells them not to bicker as they are best when they are together, everyone acknowledges this and they thank volt for his help

##### Emma

He tells emma to stay beside sora in their final moments

##### Miles and Tomoka

##### Sora

He only tells him that they will see each other later, after sora informs him that he hasn't given up yet

##### Noel

Volt confesses his love to noel, saying it was hard to hide his feelings, noel is left desperate and sad as she says that they could have gone to many places and be together. Volt tells her that he was happy to be with her, noel then slumps down to the floor in tears

#### Sora's Last Effort

After this, sora has not given up yet, he requests the magic users to pour their power and to emma to cover him and enchance his powers, since he is the son of a god, maybe he can do something about the situation, the magic users proceed

#### Windy's Last Effort

In their final moments, windy decides to draw the cutter she stole from sora, in order to take her own life as it would avoid the world being "frozen" in time, however volt saves her from doing so and the worlds end up merging

#### The Finale

Volt wakes up in an strange ambient, where he and windy are sitting and overlooking the newly created earth, but since both are there, time will remain frozen as there's no volt present in that earth. Only one person can go back, since if both of them, go the world would have a contradiction (since only one of them can be alive in the world)

After some time thinking volt stands up and gives windy a hug, however he decides to suffocate her to make windy go unconcious, windy realizes what he's about to do when it's too late. After this, volt tosses windy to the earth, allowing her to live the life she never had and Volt stays behind to fight god

In the new earth, windy wakes up and goes downstairs, realizing her mother had prepared dishes for three people, while going outside something goes on her head and quickly goes to meet volt's friends. However when she arrives, noel goes and hugs her while saying "Windy!", then sora salutes her as "buddy". That's the nail in the coffin as she realizes that she has replaced volt in this world

##### One Month Later

Windy goes to school as normal, just like volt did, she had gathered information that the merging of the worlds was inevitable. That the existence of volt steiner has been replaced by her, no one remembers volt, only windy and she has to carry that burden. However, she knows volt is watching over them, they were originally one being and she would make sure to "pick him up" when the time comes, in windy's words "We are originally one being, neither of them should be lacking, so...wait for me....Dear Bro"
