Megan eventually took a deep breath and recited the spell, wondering if it would work since she was a mortal. Drell then soon appeared.
"Wow, it actually worked!" Megan said to herself.
"Yeah, yeah, whatya want?" Drell asked the black-haired girl.
"The cards of the tribes are starting to vanish." Megan said.
"Is that right?" Drell replied. "I was afraid this would happen."
"Wait, you mean when they die on Cray, they vanish here?" Megan frowned.
"Pretty much," Drell told Megan without emotion in his voice. "That is, unless the winner of the tournament is able to wield the Messiah card. Only that can save Planet Cray."
"How long does Planet Cray have?" Megan asked.
"That's also hard to say, probably not enough, but it'll be as long as you-know-what will be on." Drell said before checking his universal clock.
"Oh, I just hope so..." Megan replied. "I feel scared for Planet Cray even if I don't know much about it."
"Just have faith in your brother and Aichi." Drell said.
"I have faith in Tony... Even if he's a pain and menace sometimes..." Megan replied. "Can't you use your magic or something though?"
"Sorry, not allowed," Drell replied. "Besides, Vanguards are impervious to magic."
"Dang it." Megan said.
"Even though I think some of them use magic." Drell said.
"Oh?" Megan's eyes lit up.
"But they are still impervious to every other magic." Drell said.
"Oh..." Megan replied. "So, there's nothing you can do?"
"Nope." Drell nodded.
Megan sighed. "Oh, okay, sorry that I wasted your time."
"It's okay." Drell said.
"Are you gonna turn me into a frog?!" Megan's eyes widened.
"Uh, no, why?" Drell asked.
"Felicity said you get angry easily..." Megan said nervously.
"Not anymore," Drell promised. "I have an anger management therapist."
"Oh, good..." Megan replied in relief. "You just kinda scared me."
"I get that a lot." Drell said.
"Thank you anyway, sir, and thank you so much for coming to my call," Megan said. "I just hope Tony can save the day."
"He does remind me of a very young Astro Boy." Drell admitted.
"He does?" Megan asked.
Drell reached into his handbook and flipped through the pages before showing a picture of Toby Tenma AKA Astro Boy.
"Whoa, he actually does look a bit like an older Tony." Megan commented about Astro Boy's features.
"Huh, I guess he actually does," Drell replied. "I wonder if there's a resemblance. After all, this story is apparently set in the distant future of Metro City."
"Like where Aunt Roxanne lives?" Megan asked.
"Perhaps..." Drell replied. "I never really thought about that before."
"Anyway, I'd also like to know why you wrote 'Dear Human' in your card." Megan said to the warlock.
"I wanted to remain anonymous," Drell replied. "Since I've known the Fudos a while and I've only heard about you guys after Atticus and Mo moved the family to Southdale."
"Wow." Megan said.
"Okay, I know a lot, but I don't know much about the mortal world..." Drell admitted. "My friend Skippy is fascinated by them though... Even if he's dating Goliath's daughter, and she's a gargoyle."
"Do all of the gargoyles have lovers?" Megan asked.
"We're getting off topic, I have a lot of work to do, so I better get going." Drell replied abruptly.
"Just one answer." Megan said.
"Fine..." Drell sighed. "No, not all of them, nobody needs somebody to love all the time anyway."
Megan simply gave a straight face, not believing that.
"Okay, yes, all of them." Drell said before teleporting away.
"Bye then..." Megan shrugged before going back inside of the Sendou house.
Mrs. Sendou soon served dinner to everybody who wanted some, Aichi took his to his room though since he had work to do with Kai and Tony.
"Hey, Kai?" Aichi called. "I'm wondering if participants beside us are seeing these visions too."
"Quite possibly," Kai replied. "If that's the case, I'll ask Ren about it tomorrow."
"There's others that have this power?" Tony asked before making an evil laugh. Um, by any chance, do most of these people go a little...?"
"So much to learn and so little time," Kai replied to him. "Well, I guess Ren would count in that example. He used to be an enemy of ours."
"Yikes." Tony winced.
"Indeed..." Kai replied. "Of course, he has the ability as well."
Tony now looked worried as he wondered if having the PSY Qualia would make him turn evil.
"But don't worry, the power shouldn't be able to control you." Aichi comforted.
Tony looked to him.
"I also better ask Misaki and Kamui," Aichi decided. "But I'm also wondering what are the other participants going to be like..."
There was soon a rumbling which shook the house and knocked everyone off balance.
"What was that?" Tony asked.
"Come on, guys!" Kai told Aichi and Tony as he soon rushed back upstairs.
They soon came into Aichi's room and the sky was dark outside, but there seemed to be a bright red moon.
"That's weird." Tony said as he looked out the window.
Meanwhile with Tony and Aichi...
Tony yawned as he felt tired from practicing with Aichi.
"I guess we should stop right now." Aichi suggested.
"Fine." Tony yawned.
"Um, would you like to stay in my room with me?" Aichi offered.
"I'd like that," Tony smiled before looking curious. "Hey, has anyone ever told you that you look like Blaster Blade?"
"Do you really think so?" Aichi replied.
"Yeah..." Tony nodded.
"I never thought about that before..." Aichi said.
They soon went to get some sleep. Tony slept in the same room as Aichi like friends having a sleepover together. They were in for a real adventure first thing tomorrow morning along with some others, and where the next morning, they would have to hurry to the airport.
Everyone seemed to gather together once they were at the airport. Tony groaned as he hated to get up early, but it was just apart of his adventure.
"I hope we're not late." Megan said.
"If we are, I wanna go back to bed." Tony groaned.
"Hey, guys," Misaki smiled to all of them. "Great timing." '
"Oh, you know, early bird gets the worm!" Tony grinned innocently.
"Really?" Megan asked.
"Come on, our flight is leaving soon." Misaki told Tony.
"See ya, guys!" Tony told his siblings as he ran with Misaki.
"Well, he's in a rush." Felicity deadpanned.
"You said it." Megan said.
Everyone else stood behind the gates as everyone went on their plane ride to take them to the Messiah Prix.
'I'm now suddenly getting nervous.' Tony thought to himself.
"Have a safe trip!" A girl called out. "Good luck, Misaki!"
Everyone else wished Tony and the others luck while they would stay behind. Misaki could tell Tony was scared and nervous.
Tony stared out the window from his seat anxiously.
Misaki decided to go to Tony and comfort him with a small smile. "Hello there, Tony."
"AH!" Tony yelped and smiled nervously. "Oh, uh, hey, Misaki."
"You nervous?" Misaki asked.
"Um, a little bit..." Tony admitted.
Misaki soon sat next to Tony to help him stay calm. Tony smiled shyly and nervously to the purple-haired girl.
"There's nothing to be scared about..." Misaki soothed.
"But this is the first time I've ever been away from my siblings to something important." Tony said.
"Ah, I see, you seem to really care about them." Misaki smiled.
"I sure do." Tony nodded.
Misaki decided to sit with Tony to comfort him.
"Uh, Misaki, just wondering, but, do you have a boyfriend?" Tony asked.
"Not really," Misaki replied as she straightened her lilac hair. "I mean, I used to have a crush on Aichi when we were younger, but we never went out on a date or anything like that."
"So, what stopped you from asking him out?" Tony asked.
"I dunno..." Misaki sighed. "I guess I was just scared of a little rejection."
Tony sighed as he knew the right thing to do.
"Don't worry, we won't be on this plane for long." Misaki told Tony.
"Thanks, Misaki," Tony smiled to her. "Um, but maybe you should go and check on Aichi."
"Are you sure?" Misaki asked. "I hate to leave you alone since you're a little scared."
"I'll be okay, besides, maybe now might be your chance." Tony said.
Misaki looked over to Aichi as he stared out the window before she smiled to him. "Thanks, Tony, you're so sweet..." she then hugged the American boy.
Tony blushed from the hug, but he gave a small smile and patted Misaki on the back for support like a good friend would. Misaki soon went to sit next to Aichi. Aichi blinked and looked to her.
"Hi, Aichi." Misaki smiled as she decided to talk with him.
Tony smiled with encouragement, but sighed before staring out the window.
"You okay?" Misaki asked.
"I'm okay..." Aichi sighed. "Just... Thinking about what happened with Blaster Blade."
Tony could understand why the blue-haired boy was thinking about that. Misaki and Aichi soon talked to each other. Tony felt happy to see that before he decided to take a nap until the plane would land and they would make it to the tournament field. His deck seemed to glow while he was sleeping. The plane traveled in the sky until finally landing.
Later on, Misaki decided to check on Tony.
"Oh, hey, Misaki, how's it going with you and Aichi?" Tony smiled to the girl.
"Oh, he's just thinking about what happened to Blaster Blade." Misaki said.
"It's not bad, is it?" Tony asked out of concern.
"Not sure." Misaki said.
"Well, I hope it's good." Tony said to her.
"I hope so too," Misaki replied. "Also, we were thinking of maybe going out to lunch after this is all over."
"That's great," Tony smiled. "I'm happy for you guys."
"Thanks, Tony." Misaki smiled back.
"No problem, Misaki." Tony smiled back.
Soon enough, after a long ride, they finally made it to their destination.
"All right!" Kamui cheered as he jumped out in glee. "We're finally here!...Where is 'here' anyway?"
Aichi and Tony soon looked ahead to see a building which made them think about back to Planet Cray.
"We're definitely here." Tony said.
"Is it?" Kai asked.
"He's right... This is the place..." Aichi told him. "The same shrine we saw on Cray."
"Yep." Tony nodded.
They soon wasted no time and walked up to the building all together.
