Timeline
Preceeded: Return of the Egg, Kelvin's Last Battle (Gustave)*

Unlocks: Deadly Battle with the Egg

(* If there are less than 3 hitherto completed scenarios on the world map)

Objective
People in North Gate are ravaged by a sleeping sickness. Some have slept for days; others fear for the next day when the epidemic claims them and their Anima. Gather information at the Inn to learn that Misty, the Egg-carrier, is somewhere in the Fossil Caves. Certain of her involvement in the towns epidemic, set out for the caves.

Recent collapses have shut off many paths, leaving a single, winding route through the cave system. Follow the single path as it winds through the Fossil Caves until you see Misty up to something on an elevated pathway. Continue along the path until you eventually reach the position, only to find a strange Quell and a note. The stolen Anima is intended to revive dead creatures, and before you can do anything else you are attacked by the Anima Beast.

This Duel battle shouldn't be too hard if you keep an eye on your HP and keep defending. Try to utilize strong Arts; effective against Undeads, or that target its weakness to Heat and Hits.

After it's defeat Misty appears to taunt you before disappearing with the Egg.
