"D-divine punishment?!" Someone fell to their knees in despair and bowed toward the shrine.
"R-run!!" The children were stunned with fright, only bursting into heart-rending sobs when the adults clutched them tightly in their arms.
Chaos spread instantly. Kirishima swept his gaze over the terrified, winged natives below, and fragments of memory flashed through his mind.
The residents of Angel Island, Enel's "lambs"-he recognized them, but had no interest in them.

His enormous demonic wings gave a slight beat, whipping up violent currents that left the cloud beach in disarray.
Then his figure flashed away. Ignoring the cries of the ants below, he flew toward Upper Yard, the lush expanse wrapped in gigantic vines deep within the island.
He sensed several hostile energies approaching rapidly from that direction.
Just as his Sin Devil Trigger form was about to vanish into the skyline woven from clouds and giant vines-
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three figures shot out like arrows loosed from a bow, each carrying different energy fluctuations, shouting in shock and anger as they burst from the dense cloud forest and vines.
In an instant, they blocked the way before his enormous Sin Devil Trigger form.
These three comical-looking fellows were three of Sky Island's four priests...
Sky Rider Shura rode a large red bird, wore something much like a football helmet on his head, and held a flaming lance.

Beside him was a tall, muscular bald man wearing sunglasses: Sky Breeder Ohm.
