## **Main Background**

Tempest of Burning Purgation (Disaster)

> *"Origin unknown, they aimlessly seek destruction. Fearing their uncontrollable power, people started to call them 'Disasters'. One day, the figure of loss appeared in ALICE. Having lost everything, it arrives at a small world of hope. It begins to swallow this world that denies its existence, taking everything along to its pit of 'despair'..."*

**Despair Appears!** is the 5th Disaster quest released for the Japanese version of Crash Fever. For the Ultra Disaster difficulty version, see Despair Appears! (Ultra Disaster).

In some part of ALICE, a disaster known as Despair appears out of nowhere, and tries to draw all that is nearby into despair. The adapter makes their way past several fleeing and panicking people. Kraken warns people to not go any further, and also tries her hardest to prevent herself from being consumed by despair as she tries to tell herself that life still has meaning and should be cherished. Siegfried similarly warns people, and tells them to not let down their guard or else it could lead to the end of their life. Mermaid expresses her dismay that freezing water did nothing to stop Despair. Lucifugus tries to encourage the adapter and herself to not give in to the impending sense of despair.

The adapter soon confronts Despair, who appears to be a swirling vortex laughing maniacally. Despair calls the adapter an idiot for coming so close, and tries to draw them in closer. After fighting the vortex for a bit, it suddenly transforms to have the appearance of a pale man with horns. Despair asks if the adapter called for him, and begins to act like someone who is lost and confused, though he occasionally breaks that attitude to act like he did before in desiring to bring everything around him into despair. After fighting with the adapter further, Despair says that he was never needed by anyone and goes further into a seemingly suicidal monologue, though once again occasionally revealing his true, sadistic nature. When the adapter finally manages to defeat him, he says that this won't be his end, and disappears without a trace.

## Post Quest Blurbs

* **Disaster Type V:** Thanks to you, Despair has withdrawn. But make sure to prepare in case it comes back...

## Trivia

* The constant use of timer panels in the quest (as well as in Despair's skillset itself) are likely meant to represent an impending sense of doom and despair.
