Tob and the Soul Beasts Arc is a continuation from the Darkstar vs. Redstone. Toby Rufus has come down with strange symptoms, and Darkstar must find a way to cure whatever is happening to Tob before it is too late.

Plot

Amana wakes up in the middle of the night to the refrigerator door opening. Amana puts her pillow over her head, thinking it's probably Tob having his late night snack again. Amana wakes up to the refrigerator door opening again. Amana dismisses this as Tob probably being extra hungry, and goes back to sleep when she suddenly hears growling. Concerned, Amana goes to the kitchen to check on Tob. Instead of seeing Tob, face buried in shredded cheese, Amana sees a huge hulking wolf man, a werewolf. The monster glares at Amana, and inches forward. Amana manifests her tail and prepares to engage the monster in combat when the werewolf suddenly collapses. Shrinking, the monster reduces into Tob. Amana, alarmed, rushes forward to catch the boy, and checks his temperature. Amana tries to wake Tob up but to no avail, Amana considers slapping him awake but quickly realizes that he is just asleep. Amana carries Tob back to his bed and watches him the entire night.

Tob wakes up to see a blurry beautiful woman looking at him by his bedside. Tob groggingly asks the woman if she is an angel and if he's dead. Amana smiles, causing Tob to scream and jump out of his bed. Tob asks Amana what the hell she is doing by his bedside and how long has she been sitting there. Amana asks him if he has any recollection of what happened last night. Tob tells her that he doesn't remember anything. Tob notices the bags under Amana's eyes and asks her if she was by his bedside the entire night. Amana tells Tob that he was walking around in the middle of the night in the form of a soul beast. Tob stares at Amana and asks if she's gone crazy. Amana tells him she knows what she saw.

Tob is taken to Lazarus' room and asks him to perform a scan on the boy. Lazarus gives Amana a confused look, and asks her why she would ask him to do that. Tob is unpowered and the only times he has used magic was through magical items and runes, which doesn't classify as using his own mana. Regardless, Lazarus conducts a vision spell. To Lazarus and Tob's surprise, Lazarus' spell reveals that Tob isn't human, and has another soul residing within his body. Lazarus asks Tob if he has experienced any weird symptoms, but Tob tells Lazarus that he has never experienced anything weird, until Amana told him that he was walking around as a freaking werewolf.

Lazarus explains that the soul beast is slowly taking over his body. Lazarus recalls studying about soul beast possession during his days in the Academy, and tells Tob he needs to separate from the soul beast before it takes him over. The first sign is temporary possession when the host is at its weakest and the soul beast has resided in the body long enough. Tob exclaims that he has never even interacted with any soul beasts before, even when he fought them, he always killed them with Jason's gun. Amana suddenly remembers when Darkstar attempted to seal the Twin Tears. Amana reminds Tob that when she first met him, he had a bite wound. Tob's eyes go wide, remembering that the bite wound was from a soul beast. Tob freaks out, asking Amana what he's going to do. The last thing he wants is to die a virgin, and now he's going to die a mutt too. Amana calms Tob down, and tells him that she will figure something out.
