In the midst of a vicious battle, taking place in what looks to be the back alley of a dingy industrial/modern city, a big lizard man clamps his jaws down over the head of some kind of masked sorcerer. The man in the mystic space inside the lizard guy’s mouth appears before the dazed and confused magic-user and declares, dramatically, “You’re not the one.”
The lizard guy extracts his foe and
asks what the man in his mouth says, which the magician reports.
Since it seems that magician is useless, the lizard guy slices him to
bloody ribbons. The sorcerer’s severed hand shoots a dart of black
smoke which conjures a door through which his partner escapes and we
then follow the lizard guy, Caiman, and his friend and helper in this
endeavor, Nikaido, who appear to be our main characters.
