Mikan's POV in 1960:

I'm just wondering around with a mask on my face and changed my outfit to a yukata, so that I can blend in with the people in this village. It seems like this period of time, war battles were over and people are focusing on merchandise and economic growth; which means the more money you have, the better off you'll survive. I am holding Bear in my arms because at one point, I almost lost him. He is walking way too fast for me that I almost got lost because of him. He decided himself to have me to hold him while he gives out directions. As we walked into a crowd, I heard some villagers talking about a poor black cat. It instantly catches my attention.

"Wait Bear! I need to hear this." I walked the opposite direction of the crowd. One villager says:

"Did you hear the rumors spreading?"

"Rumors? What kind of rumors?" Another asked.
"The one with the black cat."

"XXX, it's pretty bad to talk about it, you might get yourself in a sticky situation, since you know; black cats are a sign of..."

"Shhh! Don't say it. You will jinx it!" Both villagers looked around as if some stalker might hear them. They continued in a murmur. I blended myself at a nearby shop, looking at the decors as my ears are pointing to the conversation.

"So like I was saying, it's such a poor thing; it was a black haired guy with ears pierced, holding a black cat lying on the shores."

"I heard he died because of last night's crashing waves."

"No! I heard that he was stranded on a boat and some how made it to the shores..." I interrupted them.

"Which shores?"

"Huh?" I repeated myself in a harsh tone. "Which shores?"

"The East shores." I run towards the east direction.

"Thaanks!" As the sound of my voice echoes.

Present day: Omnipotent's POV:

Ruka, Yoichi and Hayate were all confused as to what Tsubasa said. Is Fukutan-sensei a traitor to Alice Academy? or is he not a traitor? Tsubasa looks at the three dummy faces and giggles.

"You guys should see yourselves. You look like lost puppies." Yoichi isn't thrilled hearing that comment. He glowers:

"Say that again? Explain it now!" Tono-sempai takes over and explains what's going on.

"Only a few people know it, but Fukutan-sensei is one of us."

"One of us? That explains a lot!" Ruka sarcastically replies.

"Let me finish: Fukutan-sensei is working for MSP; Himemiya as an undercover Alice-Hunter to get inside the walls of the Alice-hunters."

"Then why did he attack us?" Hayate asked without thinking.

"Duh! it's to not blow his cover."

"But then why are you surprised to hear that he's in the Northern-Eastern Forest?" Ruka asked.

"Because a few hours ago, we lost his tracking signals in the Eastern Forest..." Everyone suddenly becomes silent as the two Alice-Hunters that walked away before come back. The Macho Alice-Hunter is on the other side of the trees with his mouth taped and arms and legs tied. Fukutan-sensei, who Misaki untied him quickly says:

"Quick! Don't worry about him. Hide in the bushes I'll cover for you." They all hide in the bushes, and Fukutan-sensei calls the others so that their attention is on him and not on the macho Alice-Hunter.

"I"m over here leader!" Tsubasa murmurs to Misaki to use her alice to get the macho alice-hunter away and give him to MSP for interrogation.

"Got it!" And she created a dopplarganger of herself and that Misaki left. Meanwhile, the leader of the Alice-Hunter and Jason walk towards Fukutan. The leader asks:
"What happened? Where's your partner? And what happened to the portal?" Fukutan-sensei breathed in and out deeply as he thought up of something to say.

"Sir! The thing is, we ran into some complications."

"What kinds of complications?"
"Some intruders, it's something beyond the likes of us, Sir." Fukutan-sensei reveals a literal "big Foot" to the leader.

"Do-do you know what it was?" Fukutan-sensei shakes his head.

"No sir. It was too tall for me to see, but my partner was guarding the portal when I was following this Big Foot."

"Ok. Where is the guy now?" Fukutan-sensei shrugs.

"I don't know, Sir. Let's check it out." He makes a signal that only Tono-sempai understands. Tono signals the rest to slowly distant themselves away from the scene.

Mikan's POV in 1960's:

After running in full speed towards the east, I finally have to stop to catch my breath.

"Gosh Bear! I should've asked how long it would take on foot." Bear, who I released is right behind me. He just sighs and looks around. Suddenly, a gleam in his eyes (which by the way, only people like Mikan who is always with Mr. Bear could see this gleam) looks out for sparkling water. He pulls on my yukata and points towards the ocean.

"Yes! I see it!" I suddenly have so much hope. We run together towards the sparkling water. Once we arrive, I abruptly stop. I can't believe that the two villagers were right. The body is Natsume's and he is holding a small black cat. They both are lying in the sandy water untouched.

"Natsume?" I call out. But there isn't a response.

"Natsume!?" I start moving his shoulders. Mr Bear slaps my hand away.

"Hey! What's that for?" He takes out these white gloves from out of nowhere and checks Natsume's pulse from his neck. He then performs CPR on Natsume. After a few minutes of CPR, Natsume coughs out salty water and calls:

"Mikan?" I am ecstatic!
"I'm here Natsume!" And I give him a big hug.
