The night looms on a busy airport located deep within Tokyo, a small ancient plane with bird-like wings landed on the asphalt. It was one of hundred thousands of these that often happen each day and night. Planes from outside Japan came in while Japanese planes departed to the skies and into other places of the world just like usual clockwork. To others, it's just routine but this one was more than a routine landing.
As the propeller airplane moved towards to the open area of the apron, its engine was switched off while a male canine dressed in his finest imperial uniform disembarked. He breathed in and let out a sigh of relief.
'Ah, finally! We now here in the Land of the Rising Sun.'
'More like Land of the Rising Moon, Son.'
'Oh. Come on, Dad.'
'Alright, alright. Help me out here, Kalir.'
Kyan Kalir helped his father Spleriia Splero in lowering down the knapsacks and satchels from the seats of their Etrich Taube monoplane that they flew way back from Splena, their imperial homeland. As the wolf-dog carried his canvas bags, Splero did the same and he stepped onto the asphalt. He looked around to the other parked jet airliners that dwarfed the monarch's very own plane.
'Wow. Those planes were so huge.'
'Of course, Dad. They're always that huge alright.'
'Ah.'
Spleriia cleared his throat.
'Okay, Son. Follow me. Acheron's waiting for us in the terminal.'
'Sure thing.'
Both Spleriia and Kalir entered to the airport's busy terminal. Inside, they were greeted by a uncountable number of Japanese and non-Japanese passengers, airport staff and tourists. The two walked past them as some of these bystanders continued on eyeing them.
'Dad?'
'Hmm?'
'Looks like they know we're here.'
'Is it because they're looking at us right now?'
'Sort of.'
'Come on. Just ignore them. Let's find Acheron first.'
Ignoring the crowds of bystanders, the two continued on looking for their furry. Finally, Spleriia saw a male red fox standing beside a kiosk and a few bushes. Immediately, they greeted him.
'Whaji Davay, Acheron Fokkusu!'
The male fox looked back at Splero and he was surprised.
'Ah, Spleriia Splero! Welcome to Tokyo.'
Both Spleriia and Acheron happily shake their hands with one another.
'We meet again indeed.'
'Yeah. Such an honorable gesture, Sire.'
The Emperor chuckled.
'Anyway. I like to introduce you to my son Crown Prince Kyan Kalir.'
Splero looked at Kalir.
'Son, this is Acheron Fokkusu. He will be your guide and aide here.'
Kalir smiled at the fox.
'Nice to meet you, Acheron.'
'You too, Your Highness.'
Both of them shake their hands as well. Acheron then cleared his throat a bit.
'Anyway. Let's get to the car, Your Majesties.'
Acheron led the way to the terminal exit while Spleriia and Kalir followed him to the parking lot. After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at the parked luxury car.
'This is it, guys. Make yourselves comfy while I start the engine.'
'Whoa. What a luxurious car this was!'
'I know. I feel like a don now.'
Kalir chuckled as he entered in the back and buckled on.
'You should say that only if we're in a limo. Not a car.'
'Nah. This would do too.'
'Oh well.'
As Spleriia buckled in on the front seat, Acheron started the engine. The luxury car's engine started almost quietly and its light were now switched on.
'Okay, then. Where to again, Emperor Spleriia?'
'Hang on.'
The human Keranian absolute monarch took a pamphlet from his satchel and he looked at it for a moment.
'Let's head to the town that I spoke of from our last meeting, Acheron.'
'Sure thing.'
Kalir tapped Spleriia's shoulder.
'What town, Dad?'
'Lagoon Lounge. You heard about that place yet, Son?'
Kalir shook his head.
'Well then. That's our destination right now.'
...
Meanwhile at the Lagoon Lounge, a male dark Japanese Shiba Inu arrived at the main entrance of the cafe. Also inside the cafe was his childhood friend.
'Hey, Sousuke.'
'Hmm?'
'You think Gou and Yuujirou would still recognize us?'
The wolf chuckled.
'Of course, Kuugo. They would still recognize us both. We been gone for only a few months.'
'Oh.'
A wooden door slides open, making Sousuke's ear twitch.
'Speaking of which, here they are now.'
A tiger and his co-worker appeared. Sousuke greeted them.
'Gou. Yuujirou. Nice to see you both again.'
Both of them were surprised to see him and Kuugo again.
'Holy shit! Is...Is that really you, Sousuke?'
'In the flesh.'
Gou chuckled as he and Yuujiro hugged Sousuke tightly.
'It's good to see you again, brother! It's been a long while.'
'I know.'
Yuujiro then noticed Kuugo standing nearby.
'K-Kuugo?!'
The Shiba Inu waved.
'Heya.'
'Oh my God!'
Yuujirou chuckled as he hugged Kuugo tightly as well.
'I can't believe I would never see you again too.'
Kuugo laughed while he patted his back.
'Me too, Yuujirou but now, I'm here again.'
Both of them smiled with one another. Gou's rival then appeared as well.
'Well, then. Looks like we have our brothers returned here.'
Kuugo looked up and he saw Yamato.
'Yamato!'
'Heya, Kuugo. Long time no see.'
The Shiba Inu chuckled as he hugged Yamato tightly like a vice. Gou scoffed a bit while he watches them.
'Here we go again. Oh brother.'
Sousuke laughed as he patted the tiger's shoulder.
