Yuri and Estelle still unsure where they are, continued questioning the man. "Are you two in any need of help? Do you need medical attention?", asked the man. "Excuse me sir my name is Estellise Sidos Heurassian, nice to meet you", as she shooked the young mans hand as he replied," My name is Arnold, I'am not from around here but I can help you and your friend here straighten your situation". "Yuri lets trust him, we don't have any leads to where we are", Yuri looking around the world he's in only asked," Ok Arnold my name is Yuri Lowell, please help us out in any way you can". Arnold told Yuri and Estelle of his current hideout near a bridge, while on there way to Aronld's place the two where in both shocked and confused of the world they were roaming. "Here we are guys", said Arnold who opened a abandond bangolo near the Los Angeles river. " You two are not from earth are you?"," I live in Halure and Yuri is more of a nomad", " No I meant we are not in Terca lumireies, in fact we are on a planet named earth". Yuri angrily slammed his fist on a table in front yelled to Arnold," What the hell do you mean were not on our planet? did we travel to the past? to the future? Where are we?", "Yuri calm down I'm sure Arnold knows what he is saying. Arnold what exactly is earth?"." Earth is a planet like Terca Lumireies only there is no mana on this planet rather humans use a power called electricity", Yuri started regaining his sences and apologiezed to Arnold and asked," So were not in the past, future or Terca Lumireries. Arnold do you know any way back to our world?". " Ok first so we can have trust between us I want to inform you that I'am not from earth, I originally came to this world from a metal box after a test for Miss Mordio's creation". "I have been a apprintece for Rita for the past few weeks, helping her bring scraps of metal to her mansion" said Arnold. " About two weeks ago Rita finished her prototype and wanted to test it, as her apprintece I did not refuse". " She gave me a map of our world to chart exactly where I would end up, then I found myself in the same position you two are." " I was already losing hope in returning back to our world so I kind of been trying to adapt to earths rules and laws since then". " Yuri, do you think Rita wanted our help to rescue Arnold?" said Estelle with Yuri thinking of what to do next asked Arnold," So all those moving machines, lights, buildings are all powered by electricity?", " thats right, since there is no mana people have been using this form of energy as there major source". " Do you think there is any form of mana in this world?"," There could be a source of mana hidden on earth but not discovered, I have not been able to use a single arte since I been here".Estelle stood staring at a box on the grond and ask," What do you use this machine for?","I made a prototype metal transport box that can take us back to our world but with no mana around its pointless, I been practicing the arte of telepotation with Rita for a while". Yuri with a face of hope asked,"If we somehow get a hold of mana we can go back to our world"," that is correct" said Arnold. " Arnold I been meaning to ask you, why are you wearing such strange clothing?", "This is what people wear on earth I can get you two some earth attire, if people were to see you in your current garbs they will give you odd stares be lucky I was the first person to see you". Arnold went out to get the two earth clothing while the two searched through the hideout in curiosity. " Yuri what do you suppose this is?", " I'm not sure but it looks like useless material and junk", " Well one thing I see is our friend here is a pretty high level spell caster, he has this book full of spell artes". Estelle begin looking through a pile of books on a old shelf full of titles such as pulp fiction, pokemon master guide but one book caught her attention, it was a old copy of Lewis Carolls Alice's adventures in wonderland. " Estelle come quick", "What is it Yuri?". He showed Estelle Arnold has a Id card that read all his info and status." This says Arnold's real name is Karl thompson, why would he not tell us his real name?", " What if all he said was a lie? what if there is a way back but does not want to tell us?". A few hours past and Arnold came back with new clothing for them and said," There now you both fit in, what do you think?", Estelle wore a black shirt with the metal group label of judas priest, navy blue jeans and white sneakers. Yuri was givin a dark green shirt with the California flag, black jeans and fake leather boots. " I kinda like this new attire but what does judas priest mean?", " I'm not sure I just got what I think would suit you best, what do you think of your clothing Yuri?", " I can't complain, hey Arnold I wanted to ask you whats your real name?" with a face of confusion he replied," What do you mean?", " why does this card read your name as Karl Thompson?", " Where on a different planet so wouldn't it make sense to make up a fake identity? Btw both of you two are going to need fake identitys if your going to be on earth. If you must know my real name is Arnold Downing hope you got my fan letter Estelle?". It was now daytime on earth with Arnold waking the dou up," Yuri, Estelle I hope you had a good nights sleep as I wanted to give you these, you will need these if your going to be living on earth". Aronld had givin both Yuri and Estelle fake id cards with there real names forged on them. " With these you two are official earthlings". Yuri and Estelle still unsure about the outside had some questions to ask," I noticed there are no monsters in this world, is there any main threat we have to deal with out there?"," Not really on earth there are no guilds no monsters nothing like that, but beware we are in Los Angeles there are lots of gangs of thugs that wonder the city looking for trouble, they are the only threat you will find around". A newspaper on the table read, " Novermber 1, 1998 the dark wings the biggest Mexican American gang in LA with a total of over 400 members patroling the city caused havoc in the streets of LA against rival gang". The second headline read the mysterious murders of two of earths greatest fighters," Jun Kazama and professional wrestler King". " I guess there might be trouble around after all, Arnold where do you think we might find our fisrt clue in gathering mana?", " My guess will be to head to the city library, there might be clues around in the old archives".
