A/N: I'm actually writing two chapters in a day, go me! Anyways, I won't be online for the most of tomorrow because I have to go to the pool with my nephew. Fun! Whoo! Anyways, I have a name for Areos, Kaze. It was suggested by hereforphanfiction so thank you! The name is supposed to be japanese for 'Wind', like an Areos' Wind Blast. And since FFC was a thing in Japan and stuff, that is why it's Japanese. Anyways, here we go with a bunch of introductions!

I do not own FFC in any way, iT BELONGS TO RED ENTERTAINMENT AND NINTENDO GAWSH

2 years later...

"I can't believe we made it all the way through the preliminaries and came all the way here!" Todd shouted, obviously excited.

I smile, and look down at the dino medal in my hand. Areos, I still have her. I flash of memory comes to my mind...

Most fighters can speak with their vivosaurs if they have a strong enough connection. Except, they do it through thought. Meaning anything you think in your head, your vivosaur can hear if they are near you. Areos never spoke with me, if she feels comfortable around you, she should start speaking with you in your mind.

Areos never did speak to me, she doesn't have a name, a voice. Though I haven't been able to interact with her much either. Releasing a vivosaur on public ground can be illegal, unless it is confirmed it is allowed. But it's not, so...

I will get to talk to her, I will. I swear on it.

"Dina? Diiinaaaa? DINA!" Todd had screamed right in my ear.

"Ah! Todd? Oh, sorry. Anyways... Look! I can start to see the park!" We look out the helicopter window. We see water elemental vivosaurs swimming and splashing in the water, air types flying overhead, and the three islands in the middle of it all.

Very suddenly, the pilot started slowing down.

"Sorry for the sudden stop, I'm trying to avoid these vivosaurs!" We hear the pilot shout.

"Ugh, I don't have time for this!" I'm very impatient, can't help it. I open the helicopter door..

"Er, ma'am? It's safety rules to keep the doors closed, and arms and legs in the helicopter!" The pilot said, obviously worried about what I was doing.

"Don't care, come on Todd!" I grabbed Todd's wrist, him squealing in his place.

"What!? Dina, no.. What are you-" I jump out of the helicopter, Todd dragged through the air behind me, screaming childishly. "OH GOD WE'RE GONNA DIE! WE'RE GOING TO BREAK OUR SKULLS AND WE'LL DIE! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!"

"Fear not, my friend! I has an idea!" I shout, hoping he heard me, considering how fast we were diving down. I took out my Areos medal, and threw it down on the ground, releasing Areos, who continued to catch us on her back. Now that is victory, point Dina!

Todd stared at me, scared and shaking. "I can not believe you just did that. You're going to get us kicked out of here and we haven't even been on the ground of the island yet!"

"Well, then get off the Areos and you will be touching the ground?" I say, confused about what to do about... Todd's... situation. We hop down on to the ground.

"Well that was an interesting arrival." We turn our heads, to see what appears to be one of the workers, staring politely at us. "Hello, and welcome to the Caliosteo Islands! I take it from that... unusual entrance that you are here to enter the Cup?"

"Yup! You would be correct, now tell me. What gave it away? His face of fear?" I say pointing to Todd, his face set as an angry pout.

"You better register quickly, registration will be ending soon! Okay, let me quickly explain, where we are standing now, in between all the fountains? Yeah, this is the helipad. Tell me if you want to go somewhere. On the far left in the Fossil Guild, go there for goods and stuff. In the middle of the island, ahead of us, is the Fossil Station, Leader's Office, Cleaning Room, and staff are hanging around there. And to the right is the Cleaning Party Emporium and Fossil Cannon, which aren't open right now. The staff will tell you where you will stay at night. Now go, go, go!"

We rushed toward the Fossil Stadium, and rushed to the receptionist.

"I take it you ran here to register for the Caliosteo Cup?" The receptionist spoke to us, silently laughing.

"That would be correct. Now take my registration money, just take it. Take my money!" Todd responded, not wanting to miss registration.

"You're not going to be late you know, you can calm down." She took his money , and counted it all up making sure he had the right amount. "And your name and age are...?"

"Todd Tokage, 16. NOW LET ME IN WOMAN" He lightly screamed, sarcastically.. I think anyways.

"Alright, and you?" She asked, gesturing to me.

"Dina Sentōki, also 16." I replied. "See, Todd? Calmly." He kind just shrugged and smirked, not caring what-so-ever.

"Alright, you're both registered!" She handed over these cards. "Those would be your Fighter Cards, they contain your name, age, rank, and then have a code attached to it. The code would be for your rooms, just slide your card in the slot by your room and your door should open. There is an extra island for dorms, you can ask the worker by the heliport to travel there. The location of your dorm should also be on your card." I observed the card and noticed there was a small slot with was missing info, a little slot for a photo. I can deal with that later.

Just then, a woman came out of a door next to us. She had her brown hair in a loose ponytail over her shoulder, and a yellow and green uniform. She turned and walked over to us.

"Hi there! I'm Stella and I'm the staff leader here on Ribular Town!" We just nodded in greeting. "Since you guys got here just in time, we'll start the tour in the most important place."

"The most important place? What do you think that is?" Todd questioned. I shrugged, I dunno.

She led us to a room to our right, when we entered I instantly recognized it as a cleaning room.

"This is the cleaning room, very important. Here you will clean fossils and form your team! We'll have you practice your cleaning on some fossils here..." She went over to some shelves which had many boxes on them, all labeled. She went and read off silently each one until... "Aha! There." she grabbed two large rocks from the box. "Fossils!" She lugged them over to us, and gently dropped them onto the counter.

She explained cleaning and how to use the hammer and drill, then chose me to go first and try cleaning a fossil. This wasn't my first time cleaning, my dad had let me do it once. It was a fun day, just him letting me come with him to his work... Fun.

After me and Todd finished, Stella started to speak again. "Alright, now we use this machine over here to revive!" She placed our fossils on this conveyor belt, which bursted to life and started rolling the fossils through the machine. On a screen, it showed the vivosaur and it's stats. A Tricera, rank 3. Out of the other end, the dino medal appeared. Stella grabbed it then handed it to me. I continued to put it in my pocket with Areos. I saw Todd revived a Stego, but before I could make a comment about that, I heard something, a voice. Voices.

"I feel weird, just being... alive?" A male voice sounded.

"It's a weird experience." Came a female voice.

Huh? Who is that?

"Oh, she hears us! She hears us!"

"How long have you been waiting for this to happen?"

"2 years... yeah, heh.."

Seriously? I think I need a doctor...

"Oh, no no! I'm your Areos!" Said the female voice.

"And I'm the Tricera. Don't die!"

You can speak.. You can speak! This is amazing.. Er, sorry what are your names?

"The Areos who have had for 2 years, her name is Kaze."

"And I'm Tsunami, I've been here for 2 minutes. We have so much in common!"

This is... amazing. Sorry, kind of in shock here.

I was returned to reality by Todd, snapping his fingers in my face.

"Dina? You okay? You're looking a little pale."

"Oh, I'm fine! Just thinking again.." I replied, simply.

"Let's go team! Don't have all day!" I heard Stella shout from by the doorway.

We went on to practice fossil battles, which was pretty cool. Nothing that interesting. Though the guy's name was Devin Strait.. Just saying, who names their child that? Anyway...

"And that's it for orientation you two! You are now officially entered in the Caliosteo Cup! Oh, and I almost forgot, your Paleopagers!" She handed us this light mint colored phone-looking things. "We send out messages for fighters, so these are very important for communication!"

Boop, boop, boop! This is an important public-service announcement from Caliosteo Fossil Park. The Caliosteo Cup opening ceremony will be kicking off shortly. All interested parties should report to the front of the Fighter station.

"That's my cue! Have fun you two!" And with that, Stella walked off outside.

After a while of just dancing around in joy, we also walked outside. We stood there, waiting in excitement. You could hear all the people talking about the Cup. Excitement was definitely in the air today. All of a sudden, a giant shadow had been overcast the ground. We look up to see a giant, flying television screen, from which Joe Wildwest's face appeared.

"Welcome to the Caliosteo Fossil Park... The place where dreams are made! I'm the owner of this here park. The name's Joe Wildwest. You fighters'll love it here... We got three islands to explore! Now get ready for a surprise! 'Cause I want ya'll to know that... The cup champion will own my park! You'll own 'er free and clear! So let's get to battlin' folks... The Caliosteo Cup is now open!" Joe's voice echoed through-out the town. Cheering and fireworks displayed. But something wasn't right... I was clapping until, Joe's eyes flashed... purple? I stopped clapping, confused. Todd turned to me and nudged my arm, so I continued to clap slowly.

We paused to talk about the ceremony for a bit, but when we stopped, we noticed we were all alone.

"Hey there Todd and Dina!" We turned to see Stella. "Why aren't you two off digging yet? You should have been notified on your pagers by now..." At that moment, we had buzzing coming from our pockets, we opened the pagers to notice we had then been notified that the first dig-site, Treasure Lake, was now open.

"Eek! We're really gonna do this! We better get there before all the fossils are gone!" And with that, Todd ran off.

"You know, I'm actually surprised Joe would do something like that.." I turned and gave Stella a confused look. "Well, none off the staff knew that the grand prize was the park, not even me!"

"Today has been, a strange day for me in general.. Everything has been.. strange and different." I reply.

"A good or bad different?"

"Honestly? I don't know. Past is just affecting present, that's all. I'm sure of it."

"Well, you better go catch up to your friend.."

"Er, yeah. Bye Stella." I ran off towards the entrance of Treasure Lake.

"Hey! Wait, come back! Oh no, he's gone already.." The staff lady was looking off in the distance of the dig-site. She then noticed me. "Wait! You haven't gotten your sonar yet, have you? Well you're not going to find any fossils without one!" She then continued to hand me a blue sonar. "That boy ahead of you just ran past me like his pants were on fire..."

"Er, well.. He was my friend I'm guessing. Sandy blonde hair, blue eyes, green cloths?"

"Yup."

"That would be him."

"Then let's go give him his sonar together, shall we?"

We continued to walk into Treasure Lake to see Todd running around like an idiot, trying to find fossils on the surface..

The dig site was a beautiful site. You walk in on a small hill corned off with a white fence that views off into the lake, which had a stone dinosaur skull in the middle. Around the lake was land Whig was all surrounded by woods. The was a pathway down the hill to the left of the entrance.

After giving him his sonar and explaining how it worked, we were left to our own devices. I immediately got to work.

A/N: That was REALLY long... It was for me anyway.. Sorry. I won't be on tomorrow so you get two chapters today, how great! Also, when I first played the game, I read Devin Strait's name wrong. I thought it said 'Demon Stroke'.. Whoops. Hope you enjoyed, please leave your critics in the comments! Bye!
