The next day, Shidak-Charn arrived at the BioDome and noticed the police have gathered at the lab entrance. He slithers over there and finds that a wall has been destroyed. He then goes over to the other scientists that he was working with. "Havard, what happened?" he asked the blonde Nord scientist. "Someone broke into the lab earlier today. They got into the sample storage underground and took the animal blood samples, every single one." Havard explained.
"I guess we've got a day off." a male Altmer scientist noted. "Did anyone get hurt?" Shidak-Charn asked Havard. "Just one. It's that Daedra that broke into the zoo a few months ago that was bailed by their mage." Havard answered. "Momotarosss? Where isss he?" Shidak-Charn asked Havard in concern. "Over at the ambulance." Havard said as he pointed an open ambulance nearby.
Shidak-Charn slithers to the ambulance and sees Momotaros sitting at the ambulance steps, shivering as he wore a towel around himself. "[Ah, it's snake man.]" Momotaros greeted Shidak-Charn. "[What happened here?]" Shidak-Charn asked. "[After a long day at work, I decided to walk around the city for a bit. There were lots of people screaming. I was walking around the area and saw that Rider you fought against. I transformed and charged at him, but he knocked me out and left me in the snow where I was just found an hour ago.]" Momotaros explained as he shivered. "[Did you see how he made this hole?]" Shidak-Charn asked.
"[He looked different; he was green and looked like a bug.]" Momotaros described. "[He might have used chaurus blood as a form to melt the wall with some kind of acid attack.]" Shidak-Charn deduced. "[What's a charus?]" Momotaros wondered. Out of the blue, Shin approaches them. "[Shin, you're back.]" Shidak-Charn said.
"[Yes, but only this time. I won't be able to meet with you as frequently anymore. I'm trying to look for a way to sever my link with Haemo, starting with the College.]" Shin said his intentions. "[I… I understand.]" Shidak-Charn responded. Shin then turns around and walks away. "[Wait!]" Shidak-Charn yelled to him. Shin then stops in place.
"[If you intend to seek the College for help, ask for Jamal al-Bravil and that I sent you.]" Shidak-Charn advised. "[Thank you, old friend.]" Shin said before he continued onwards. "[What was that about?]" Momotaros asked. "[Nothing for you to be concerned about.]" Shidak-Charn answered rudely. Havard approaches Shidak-Charn.
"What are your plans for the rest of today, seeing as our workplace is destroyed?" he asked. As Shin walked through the streets of Winterhold to the College, he meets Sento at a crossing. "[What do you want?]" Shin asked. "[Haemo can see me, right? I just wanted to tell him to meet us in the alley next to the Icehearth bar at five o' clock.]" Sento instructed. He then walks past Shin without another word.
"[They're going to fight, aren't they?]" Shin thought as he continued down the street towards the College.
In Sakura's home, as she was getting ready for school the doorbell rang. "[Sakura, can you get the door?]" Megumi requested as she was cleaning dishes. Sakuraa opens the door and sees her father on the porch. "[I'm home!]" he announced himself. "[Papa's back!]" Arata said excitedly as he ran towards the door.
"[Arata!]" Takao said in excitement as he prepared to catch Arata running at him. The two then hug each other tightly. "[Papa… you're here!]" Sakura said, trying not to give away that she met him prior to this moment. "[What brings you here to Tamriel?]" Megumi asked. "[I just came by to visit my family while I'm on a business trip!]" Takao answered.
"[Oh, what for?]" Megumi asked. "[You know… important business…]" he whispered. "[Oh…]" Megumi said in realization. "[Look at the time! I'm going now!]" Sakura said nervously as she hurried out of the door. She mounts her bicycle and waves at her family before cycling away.
"[Arata, mama and papa need to talk upstairs, so don't open the door to strangers.]" Megumi instructed her son. "Okay!" he answered. The two then walk upstairs to Megumi's bedroom. It mainly consisted of a king-sized bed in the middle, a child's bed adjacent to it for Arata, and a dresser with a mirror. "[What's happening? Are you going to use the Subarizer again?]" Megumi asked worriedly.
"[About that…]" Takao said nervously. He takes out Yu's Nakamoji device from his pocket and points it to the bed, releasing him as he lied down on the bed in a star pose. "Yo!" he said to Megumi with a peace sign. "[Takao, who is that?]" Megumi asked in concern. "[That is Nakamada Yu, my Toyzer clone.]" he answered.
"[Why do you have a clone of yourself as a Toyzer?]" Megumi wondered. "[That battle with Hakaika… I was gravely injured. I was put out of commission for nearly a year, but I was still needed. They created this clone to fight in my stead and to take my place in my day-to-day life.]" Takao answered as Yu demonstrated his aging ability, transforming into Takao's current image. "[You mean… I kissed a Toyzer?!]" she exclaimed in embarrassment. "[You did what?!]" Takao yelled at Yu. "[It was never on the lips, I swear!]" Yu defended himself.
"[How… why was this kept from me?]" Megumi wondered. "[Subarashii knew you would react like this, so they hid this from you. I decided to tell you now because the Toyzer crisis is over.]" Takao explained. "[If it's over, then why are you here now?]" Megumi wondered. "[Subarashii Akavir was informed of a possible crisis in Tamriel, so I was sent here along with the other Subarashii Riders.]" Takao explained. "[Do you know what it is?]" Megumi asked.
Yu then hopped off the bed and approached them. "[Do you know about the Elves that live under Tamriel, the Dwemer?]" Yu asked. "[Someone is trying to switch the worlds of below and above, in Tamriel and Akavir.]" he continued.
