Introduction:
Welcome to the Third Adventure of Free! Eternal Swim Chronicle – Sports Village – Can't you believe you got to see Haikyuu! and Kuroko no Basuke so far!? :D They were quite the treat indeed and I was happy to have written such a multi-sports anime story even though the other sports are not much of an interest to me. (Kind a long and personal story but to keep it simple, I suck at other sports…swimming was my way of life, LOL)
New Surprises are coming:
*Momotarou, Sousuke and Nitori will play a larger role (and a very important one too!)
*Kagami will also play a larger role as he further develops his being as "The Savior".
*New secrets about the Ancient Past (Olympia Magna!)
*Hopefully some new romantic scenes (Or at least some shippy-like moments in between the mess).
*A return of an old character from the previous fanfics in Gen 1.0 (She briefly appeared in the previous arc) who will explicitly introduce herself here in this arc.
Anyway, this upcoming adventure will have a very unique and strange crossover. I do not know if any of you guys are into this kind of fandom but this upcoming story is part of a legacy that I was once a part of and I loved it as much as I love Free!
~BIONICLE, meaning BIOlogical ChroNICLE
Q:What is BIONICLE?
A:Well aside from the definition, it is a series of toys created by the LEGO Company back in 2001 when the group was in a business depression. Creating BIONICLE was the best investment they've made and it led to a 9 year story adventure. It did end in 2010 (which was also when I began to invest in anime) but a reboot began in 2015 and it is said to last about 2 more years or so. This is a huge nostalgia of my life here and I can't get enough of these wonderful building LEGO toys.
You can read more about them on BIOSector01 and/or Wikipedia.
Q:Ew, why the robots? Whhhyyyyy!? Did your story just become mecha?
A:Well don't look at me, sorry if it's not your taste. But no worries, you'll still get to see KnB and HQ gang around. However, the plot of this story will focus on a set of characters. (There's no way I will feature every SINGLE Bionicle character, creature, etc.)
Q:And who are these characters?
A:Three of them are OCs of mine long ago…the first one (and the subsequent ones after OC) I will feature is from the canon story. However, I will probably introduce more characters as we go on both canon and OCs. Here's a small list of who will highly likely to be in:
Mata Nui
Skralla (OC)
Sakari (OC)
Belirax (OC)
Tuma
Tahu
Gali
Lewa
Kopaka
Pohatu
Onua
Ekimu
Artakha
Kulta the Skull Grinder
Skull Creatures: Basher, Slicer, Scorpio, and Warrior
Lord of Skull Spiders
Shadow Traps
Makuta Teridax
Umarak
Elemental Creatures
Q:Can I skip this arc and wait for Book 4?
A:Well, it won't be beneficial if you do but it's your call. Just don't put any hate or negativity into this because this was my CHILDHOOD and it's bad enough that some people are already talking shit (trust me, I get nasty reactions on tumblr) about how BIONICLE should never crossover with anime. In fact, I've seen crossovers of BIONICLE x My Little Pony…so don't get me started to argue!
Q: Does BIONICLE even have sports?
A: As a matter of fact it does…Kohlii for example; it's a fusion of lacrosse and soccer with their own set of unique rules. There are also some Glatorian Fights (equivalent to Gladiators of Ancient Rome), disc throwing and other unique things.
Q: I'm a BIONICLE Fan, why are you putting humans involved? WTF? Why are some of these humans acting sooooo...queer?
A: First off, it's going to be only this book for this crossover. Second, please understand that the fact that I was also a BIONICLE fan like yourself (from the day it was born in 2001) but after the "hiatus" in 2010, I moved onto anime to fill myself some time. I did NOT get into Hero Factory like many of you guys did. Third, understand that I do support all kinds of love (male x male, male x female, female x female, and the list goes on afterwards if you must get technical.)
Lastly, if all you do is judge people to waste your time, then I suggest you get out of here and read another story. Okay? Thanks!
You see, it's not as bad as you might think. And if you still have doubts, well…let's say it'll definitely be a sight you've never seen before! :D
Now then…let's begin the story…shall we?
Prologue: 遠近からの物語- Tales from Far and Near…
Long Ago…on the foreign world of Spherus Magna…
In a great kingdom called Averax Magna, the inhabitants celebrated the day of a new princess finally born into the royal family. It was a huge christening event and the entire population wanted to be a part of the grand celebration.
Skralla, Mata Nui, and the priestess, Belirax arrived at the balcony where everyone waited from below. Belirax blessed the baby in front of the population as everyone smiled and awed for the new child.
Finally Skralla held the baby and announced, "Her name shall be Sakari…for her future shall become queen!"
Everyone cheered happily and threw confetti around. The event lasted through the night as the people danced and feasted at the palace and played wonderful music.
Skralla looked at her necklace and wondered how much power it really held in there. She discovered it a long time ago hidden in the Black Spike Mountains while she was still a princess. The royal family back then was evil, corrupted and power hungry and tried to steal all resources from the Glatorian.
As being the only female Skrall of the population in Roxtus, she escaped one night and found the female Skrall and other Glatorian warriors and a new friend. Together, they stopped the evil and brought their worlds together and united.
Mata Nui on the other hand was from another realm whose original body was 40 million feet tall robot with a world inside its own body. However, he was exiled from the realm after his brother hijacked the systems and did significant, untold damage.
In return for saving Bara Magna (the world that he was exiled to) from various threats, the people fought the evil brother Teridax with help of another massive robot hidden in the ruins of a mysterious valley. From there, Mata Nui fulfilled his destiny; restoring the planet Spherus Magna back to life and bringing the residents of the Matoran Universe and Spherus Magna united.
And now, after 10 years after its restoration and founding new realms, the kingdom welcomed its first princess.
During the evening, Skralla and Mata Nui sat down with Tuma in a private room. He was the original King of the Skrall who led the population with an iron fist. Thanks to the cure, he was back to his good-old self once more and was happy to have a daughter that meant hope for him and the people.
"My sweet," he said, "I couldn't be happier…and your daughter is beautiful."
"Thank you," she answered.
"So then," said Mata Nui, "are you sure that this is okay for…?"
"In the past, it wouldn't have been," he said, "But now, the Glatorian, Skrall, Vorox, Matoran and others are doing just fine."
Tuma coughed heavily as he could feel the years taking toll of his life.
"Father no!" said Skralla, holding his hand, "Are you going to be well?!"
"I think it's best that my time is near," he answered, "You have done well…but this illness is only natural…"
"Please…you've fought too hard to not give up!" she said, "I hope you could at least see your granddaughter grow up."
Tuma only smiled and answered, "You have your family now…my daughter…I am glad…that you were able to become a hero…"
"Father please don't!" replied Skralla, trying to use her healing magic to give him some life energy, "I don't even know about my mother…I can't afford to lose you!"
He smiled a little and answered, "Alright."
As the years went by, Sakari grew up to be a lovely princess. She was adored by the kingdom and the Matoran, Agori and other inhabitants welcomed her presence.
One day, she saw a tall green-gray armored being, clearly about 10 foot tall along with a shorter being with blue and golden armor. Both of them carried some sort of war hammers and a cart of various helmets, Kanohi masks, and other weapons.
She approached to them as the blue-golden one, Ekimu, smiled and said, "Good day to you, princess."
Artakha turned and saw the little princess and also smiled, "You've been wondering a lot lately. How is her majesty?"
Sakari was silent for a moment but she finally spoke her words, "O-okay…I'm good."
"Here," smiled Ekimu, handing her a GPS device, "This will help you map your way through the city. You don't want to get lost now."
The princess nodded and hesitantly took the object, looking at it with fascination.
"Sakari, baby, why do you keep running outside from the fortress?" asked Skralla, looking concerned.
"Mamma, I want to go out and see this world!" she cried.
"But your lessons and your duties are here in this castle," replied the Queen, "You're still too young to be running around like that."
"Mamma, Ekimu gave me this," she replied, "It's some sort of a GPS."
Skralla looked at the object and was about to take it but Sakari held it to herself, starting to cry. The queen sighed for a moment before answering, "I'm sorry to yell at you…please understand that your life is…"
Sakari rushed back to her room as Skralla sighed and lowered her head in failure. Mata Nui walked in and hugged her from behind.
"Mata Nui, do you think we made the right choice?" she asked.
"Why are you saying that?" he answered, "We have ourselves a wonderful daughter and…"
"She ignores my pleas…runs around in the kingdom…and hasn't even properly trained her magic yet," said the queen, "You know how dangerous it's been."
"It may have been 150 years since the battle against Teridax, but look at how everyone is doing now. Your father is proud of you," he answered.
Skralla turned to him with increasing worry, "And that's the problem. When peace rises in the kingdom, no one can predict when or how the next catastrophe is going to occur."
Several more years passed by when Sakari was able to perform some magic. She received training from the Toa on how to use basic powers before she was further trained by Belirax through special rituals and rites performed.
Despite this, Sakari was curious about her mother's necklace; it was always on her every day. Not once it came off of her.
That's when it all began…
Sakari walked through the halls of the Averax Palace when she saw what looked like her mother's necklace on the floor. She looked around to make sure no one was watching. Reaching out for it, she gently scooped it to her hand.
She could sense great waves of power flowing into her. It was almost as if…
BOOM!
The fortress walls shook as Sakari nearly tripped over her feet. The princess scrambled her way outside when she saw a massive fire breaking out at the western area of the city. The source of the explosion: a massive black rock emitting shadow energy cracking out.
Matoran and Agori panicked in fear as the Toa and Glatorian marched out to fight the new combaters; an army of Skull-like beings attacking the civilians.
Sakari held tight to the necklace and fled across the chaos, trying to get out of the city and into the forests region of Bota Magna. The black rock emitted a stronger wave of darkness, sweeping across the city as everything began to collapse and falling into ruins. Sakari screamed as the darkness struck her but the necklace protected her from the attack.
She turned to see an Agori dead on the ground as the entire population was 'dead'.
Mama, papa, she thought, turning back towards the palace, this is all my fault! I have to get back to them!
Mata Nui readied his Golden Sword to fight off some of the Skull Spiders while Skralla rushed through the city in panic for her daughter. She stopped running when she saw the leader of the Skull army approaching. The queen gasped as she recognized the entity before her; a former Glatorian who was exiled for crimes and later killed by the Iron Wolves (or so it was said).
"It's been a long time…your majesty," said Kulta.
Skralla gasped as she saw the Mask of Creation on Kulta and realized what he had done.
"Y-you…" she snarled.
"Oh yes, I took them down…Artakha and Ekimu…and got the Mask of Creation," he replied, his eyes glowing red.
Before Skralla could reply, Kulta grew out a third eye from its forehead, emitting red waves of energy towards her.
"Give yourself up!" smirked the Skull Grinder, "You are in MY HANDS now!"
Skralla shield herself from the light as she silently summoned her inner magic from the necklace from wherever it was missing (it was at least still in this world to unleash this magic), unleashing blue-white light across her body. Kulta gasped as crystallized protodermis (normally produced by six elemental powers) covered herself before she vanished.
Mata Nui saw this scene happening and tried to use his Kanohi Ignika (Mask of Life) to undo the reanimated Skulls but nothing worked. He quietly fled to the fortress and found Tahu and his team inside.
"I need you to seal this palace now!" he shouted, "Meanwhile…I'm going to sleep and reach out to other lands!"
"M-Mata Nui," began Gali.
"It's too late now," he said, "The final countdown has begun. I need you all to find Sakari and bring her back safely!"
"We understand," nodded Onua, "Let's go guys!"
The six heroes combined their powers of water, fire, air, ice, stone, and earth, creating a crystallized protodermic gate that kept the Skull warriors out. Kulta snarled but smirked a dark laughter, knowing that this city was at least their home for now.
"Master, how we will get into the gate?" asked Skull Slicer.
"Oh there's a way to break in…but we need to get the heroes on our side," replied Kulta, "Either that or…"
One of the Skull Warriors turned to see Sakari and shouted out. Kulta turned his head and smiled, "Ah yes…the Princess that failed to help defend this city."
Sakari freaked out and ran as she was being chased by three of the Skull warriors. She clung onto the GPS that she was given when it suddenly glowed and she shimmered away by a vortex. Kulta narrowed his eyes and said, "She's escaped…"
"What now?" asked Skull Basher.
"Find the Kanohi Olmak," said Skull Grinder, "We'll invade other realms and smash everything to find her!"
Present Day: Outside of Sportsbrooke
Sakari walked her way up the dunes when she saw the massive city of Sportsbrooke ahead. It was clearly nothing like her home back in Averax Magna but it had the reminiscence of her curiosity. She turned to the sign that labeled the city.
"Sportsbrooke…" she read as the sign itself crystallized a little by the powers from the staff.
She continued her way down the trail, crossing through the town line.
Golden Creation Shop
The Wise Master, Ekimu gasped as he felt a presence of magic appearing to this town; the same kind of power from the queen. Could it be?!
He stopped hammering on his latest project, grabbed his cloak to hide his robotic body, running out the door.
There's still hope, he thought, to reclaim our lost kingdom!
Neo Karasuno District, Sportsbrooke
With the return of the volleyball players, their families, friends, and allies, the city finally resumed its peaceful days. The help of the Magic Six has brought this mega city together and developing more and more futures.
Shouyou and Natsu decided to start their own team again in the former Karasuno District and with the magic from the Princess Goddess/Kuroko, all of the resources were replenished. However, they also decided to set up a memorial for their father.
"Onii-chan," said Natsu, "Do you think father is…"
"He's always proud of us," he smiled, "I…I'm sorry for having to fall to the dark side."
"It's alright, I forgive you," she answered, "I knew you were still in there…the good you."
"Right and we'll definitely make a new future for volleyball," replied Shouyou.
"And swimming too," said a cheerful voice of Nagisa.
The Hinata siblings turned to see the Magic Six as they and Gaardus visited the new district. Neo Karasuno was filled with unique-shaped, futuristic buildings, several volleyball courts with green-powered technology (solar-panels).
"It's very nice out here," said Makoto.
"Beautifully done," agreed Rei.
"Welcome, Magic Six," replied Shouyou, "This is where the fun begins from here!"
"You're going to watch the team?!" asked Natsu.
"This does remind us back home…we did play some sort of volleyball but it was more like uhhhh…" began Rin.
"Keeping the ball up?" asked Nagisa.
"Ahhh that! That's one of our training regimes" said Natsu, "Anyway there's going to be a practice match soon. We won't have actual games yet for another month or so."
"It's just a lot of training and catching up," shrugged Shouyou.
"We can stay for a bit. After all, there's nothing going on," smiled Nagisa, "Right Haru-chan?"
Haruka kept silent but nodded in a shrug. He was a bit rather curious about his 'so-called' cousin even though the Kageyama's and the Nanase's had no blood evidence to even share a possible ancestor line.
"Ah it's about Tobio isn't it?" asked Shouyou.
"Just…how?" replied Haruka, "Could he even be related? My parents never mentioned of him nor volleyball."
"Well he's going to be here soon. Maybe the two of you can talk things out?" asked Natsu.
"I'm hungry!" said Nagisa.
"We just had lunch earlier!" shouted Rei.
The others chuckled and they went inside the Karasuno Volley Arena to see the practice match while Shouyou rushed through the halls to get back to his teammates.
Back outside, Gaardus flew high above, surveying the entire city. It was only since 3 weeks since the previous battle against the Dark One who took on the form of radioactive chemicals and made it to a physical entity; Chernobyl Pripyat and the Black Sun.
However, Gaardus was getting more suspicious about Theagenes as the "Dark Magician" was up to his tricks again with the dark magic.
"Is everything going well, sister?" asked a voice inside his head.
"Morgan, I'm telling you, something is off about this realm. No one has talked to Theagenes yet ever since the first battle here," replied Gaardus/Pandora.
"Maybe their memories of him were wiped?" asked Morgan.
"That's my suspicion," squeaked the Phoenix, "Chernobyl's power is similar to that of Theagenes and the Dark One that we've been hunting. However, it's not all of the Dark One's essence here in this world."
"If that's true, then where is the rest of the Darkness?"
"How should I know? I don't have all my magic because of my probation contract! Otherwise, I'd snuff that darkness back to where it came from!" growled the bird.
"Sister…you know that anger won't help you," she replied.
"I'm sorry, I just…it's been over 150,000 years since this world's story has been written. It needs to have its happy ending soon, you know it!" said Gaardus.
"And it will happen," answered Morgan, "Hopefully by then we'll find your beloved one…"
The bird lowered its head, thinking about the one person and her first romantic feelings to that man…
If only I never killed him, thought the bird.
Water Knight's Training Facility, Hawakoto Fortress, Aqua Duniya
Momotarou opened his eyes slowly and realized that he was still alive after that strange monster attacked him and Nitori. He got up on his feet and saw the silver-haired man talking to King Magnus and Toraichi.
"So it's true then," said Magnus, "Sousuke…has indeed fallen."
They turned to see Hosoya, the father of Sousuke who was completely horrified from the news. Hosoya is one of the program leaders for the Water Knights along with Kouki Nitori and Kenjiro and Kenichi Mikoshiba (Kenjiro as father of the Mikoshiba family and Kenichi as the uncle). These families supported the Magic Six royalty all their lives on Aqua Duniya that went far back to their ancestors in several generations.
"We cannot hesitate any longer," said Magnus, "We must send Momotarou and Aiichirou to Olympia."
"WHAT!?" shouted Kenjiro and Kouki.
"They have hardly any magic compared to the team!" argued Hosoya, "No. I should go to Olympia."
"You are needed here," said Toraichi, "For the sake of the Water Knights."
"He's right," agreed Tatsuhisa, walking in, "We can't leave this world because we have to put our trust in our children. They are the ones who can save Sousuke."
"Sousuke is our friend and our responsibility!" said Momo, "I won't allow him to fall into the darkness!"
"We don't know exactly who this opponent is but I know we'll fight them to dust!" nodded Nitori, his eyes glowing blue again.
Magnus gasp as he saw the powers in him awakening like the others. Could it really be?
"What's the matter?" asked Hosoya.
"It's as it was foretold…the Magic Six…the powers that extend beyond them," said Magnus, "Momo? Did you unleash water powers or attacks recently?"
"I…I don't remember exactly when but…" he began.
"When that sea monster invaded the celebration, both of you…and Sousuke seemed to have used some magic to fight it off," replied the king, "If the prophecy is true, you…Sousuke, and Nitori will become new Senshi."
"EHHHH!?" gasped Nitori and Momo.
"But we never spent any time in the Purification Rites! We're not part of their lives!" said Momotarou.
"Just because you're not in our families in this time doesn't mean you weren't in the past," replied Tatsuhisa.
"What are you talking about?" asked Nitori.
The Three Kings brought Nitori and Momotarou to the Purification Hall and revealed the truth to them about the Magic Six's previous lives as the Suiei Senshi to Prince Julius. They also explained the powers of the Legendary Solar Crystal of Destiny and its purpose to defend and protect peace of all sports back when the world was still one realm.
"The entire team name of you and the Magic Six was known as the Iwasame Senshi, the portmanteau for "Iwatobi" and "Samezuka" Senshi," said Tatsuhisa, "Though you haven't remembered your past lives yet, if you can walk across those waters, your powers should awaken."
"First time for anything," shrugged Momo and the two boys walked down the steps, took off their footwear and dipped their feet into the pool.
To their surprise, the boys were walking across the water just like the Magic Six; indeed! Their powers were beginning to awaken slowly as sparkles of light shimmered around them. Momotarou's eyes glowed orange-yellow while Nitori's eyes glowed a light-sky-blue color.
Their armor transformed into the same styled magical cloaks like the magic six wore with the same white, colored, and metallic designs. In front of them, two star-wand daggers floated in front of them.
Voices could be heard inside their heads as they were instructed to take the wands and prepare for departure soon. Images of the past during Atlantis were shown before them both the happier times and the day of the tragedy, leading to a message in their heads:
W-wake up! The time has come…the light guided by the three talismans…marks the beginning of destruction.
"Brutus…Caepio…" said Momotarou quietly, remembering his ancient identity.
"Trajan…Traia…" muttered Nitori, also remembering that old name.
"Are you sure we must let them go?" asked Tatsuhisa.
"It's time," said Magnus, "The Magic Six are going to need their help if they are going to locate Sousuke and stop him from falling deeper to the darkness."
They turned to see the parents, the other Water Knights and friends who were worried about the news going on from Olympia.
"Fear not," said Toraichi, "For you shall see…the Magic Six will gain new allies from a distant past!"
"Go get 'em, MOMO!" shouted Kazuki as he and the other guys cheered on.
"Kick 'em assess NITORI!" cheered Takuya.
Momotarou and Nitori raised up their Enhydra and Cairina Star Dagger Wands (respectively) and shouted:
"ENHYDRA STAR POWERRRRRRR!"
"CAIRINA STAR POWERRRRRR!"
"MAAAAAAKEEEEEE UP!"
Blasts of light exploded around them as the two were undergoing their transformations while being transported to Olympia. The group watched them depart through the lights as they cheered them on and wishing them luck to save Sousuke.
Hosoya wanted to cry but he knew all too well that prayers here in the world were always answered. Together, they left the chamber and went to the Prayer Hall in order to strengthen their hopes.
Flashback: Planet Olympia Magna, 150,000+ Years Ago
~The Kingdom of Atlantis
Prince Julius stood in front of his throne as he blessed Ulysses as the Leader of the Samezuka Senshi and Antonius as the Leader of the Iwatobi Senshi.
Brutus, Trajan, and Marius stood in the room with the others as the eight Senshi prepared to listen to their prince.
"All of you have become great warriors," said Julius, "However in order to maintain the balance between the world and the outer realms, we will need three of you to take out on the task to build bases beyond the Aigean Isles.
"Brutus, Trajan, Marius, I believe you three are suitable for the task."
Brutus nodded while Trajan smiled a little though Marius was feeling a bit sadden by this. However, he kept his composure and bowed, "Yes, your majesty!"
"You three as I have learned loved to travel a lot through the cities and kingdoms," said Julius, "But that doesn't mean you're exiled. I welcome you guys anytime here for reports or even for simple casual talk. Not to mention we'll be having a festival pretty soon."
"Your honor, if the three are the ones who I will lead, how will I lead them from afar?" asked Ulysses.
Julius handed them a set of special-ear technological buds with communication sensors and other techy options, "These will help you communicate between each other. At times, the mission will be risky and they'll have to report to you on the scene."
The Samezuka Senshi took the ear-sets while Julius handed over a different gift to the Iwatobi Senshi, "As for you gentlemen, I have prepared you wristbands that will communicate between the four of you. However, Antonius…your device will also communicate to Ulysses and vice versa."
After Julius dismissed the warriors, Ulysses walked to him closely and asked, "Are you sure this is the right thing?"
"You know that your kingdom is here too," said Julius, "The Kingdom of Mirovia needs you just like the other four with them."
"I understand, thank you," replied Ulysses.
As soon as they all left, Julius opened his fist and looked at the Legendary Solar Crystal of Destiny. Ever since he could remember, he was born to this land to protect the world's peace and prosperity. His personal family originally had different powers but his birth marked the existence of the solar crystal.
"The Heart of all sports must be protected especially," he muttered, "Its powers…also sacred as this."
Deep Beneath Olympia Arena Magna, Atera Magna
The "Heart of All Sports", the Great Olympia Arena Magna was where all sports performed festivities and competitions every certain number of years. With new sports being made and developed, they are registered to the world events during the competition seasons. If it gains enough popularity, the sport becomes widespread (but more specific to a prominent region depending on the climate) and new athletes try them out.
However, the "Heart" rested deep beneath the surface, in a sacred chamber that no one (except in legends) knew about.
The Claiomh Solias: Sword of Light was wedged between stone, waiting for the day it would be taken from its resting place. A few have dared to enter to this forbidden place but were turned to ash even before they stepped into the room.
Only one type of person can remove it; the "Savior".
It's not I who will remove that sword, thought Julius as he recounted its legend, it's the same man who will one day sacrifice himself to become the Guardian of the "Gate Zone".
Present Day:
Taiga Kagami preformed another slam dunk into the net, ending the practice match with the Seirin teammates. Even though they have been busy with their adult lives, they still spend some fun time together.
"Amazing as always Kagami-kun!" smiled Rinnosuke Mitobe.
"It never ceases to amaze me when you slam dunk!" agreed Kouichi Kawahara.
"Heh, thanks guys," he replied.
"So then, how 'the savior' is going about?" asked Shun Izuki.
Kagami tried not to blush at that but answered, "Been busy with the heroes of course."
"I'm just glad to see our old friends back home!" said Rinnosuke, "I can't believe these last few years were just nothing but periods of corrupted peace."
"Well Akashi has learned from that and he is continuing to grow and become a better politician," he replied, "But I believe in him and the others like how I believe in all of you."
"Maybe we should go visit the new pool or something," said Junpei.
"Don't say that to Nanase," chuckled Kagami, "He'll be stripping off like you've never seen."
"I want to see how those boys swim so quickly!" replied Kouichi, "Now that swimming is no longer banned, we have to see them in action!"
They all laughed happily as they left the facility, resuming their daily lives in the city.
Sakari walked her way through the streets of the suburbs of Sportsbrooke. For the last few weeks, she kept herself in hiding in one of the parks. She had never seen such a city that was somewhat similar to her homeland but there was one problem…
They all looked like Glatorians with peached-colored skin, white, black, brown, and other colors that were unfamiliar to her. Not to mention that many of them carried no weapons or any signs of armor. Despite this, she did sense some magic somewhere in the city but it was far different than the ones she learned about.
What kind of a place is this, this Sportsbrooke, she thought.
She turned to see a group of little kids with toy-based basketball hoops and volleyball nets. It was quite an unusual sight for her; no fighting? No disc-throwing? No Kolhii matches?
"This is definitely another place to suffer," she muttered.
Sakari arrived at an intersection where she saw strange looking vehicles that reminded her the Thornatus V9 but it wasn't as wide or had weapons; just transparent looking screens and strange colors that shined through the reflection.
She almost crossed the street when a bunch of vehicles soared through with flashing lights. Scared, she turned to an alley and ran, keeping herself hidden in her cloak.
What is the meaning of this new arrival?
The new arc begins with Episode 1: The Robotic Princess!
