Summary: As the clock strikes midnight two hours will pass before it becomes one.

The Dark Hour...the Lost Hour..the twenty-fifth hour...a hidden hour.  The hour nobody knows about or remembers what happened. A time when living things turn to bloody coffins, dripping bright red, beckoning and taunting the shadows to feast on them.

The shadows were born from negative human emotions and are always hunting for more victims for their army. The more shadows there are, the stronger they shadows and the greater influence they have outside The Dark Hour.

There are only a few who do not transform in this lost hour and it is their duty to protect humanity from The Fall. The Fall foretold the end of the world as humans know it, but it is really the time when the Dark Hour will become the only hour and the shadows will rule the land.

But one sacrificed himself for mankind, forever sealing away the Dark Hour with the help of his friends.

Now that hour is really lost, wiped from the memories of everyone. Even the friendships forged in battle were forgotten and they became passing faces in each other's lives.

However, as time passed something unseen pulled at each of them, subtly urging them to remember. Then one day on the roof of Gekkoukan High School fate drew them together one last time to show what was lost was not truly lost, but would forever remain part of them
