"Well...Looks like you won. We won't talk about this anymore if you don't want to." Kyros said.

"No, I think that was just what I needed to remember how important it is to be open with my friends." Azure said. "That destructive entity...I don't know how much you heard about it while I was diffridden or from Christopher period, but Star Titan is working to find the guardians that sealed it away a long time ago. If they don't...the entity will revive, and destroy both Cray and earth, according to Wolf, who I met on cray." He explained.

"I see...so you're worried, and want to do something about it." Kyros said.

"Yeah...when Kara mentioned the entity, I figured he must've known something about it. Especially with that dragon of his, Morien." Azure answered.

"In that case, I've got an idea. Why don't we just find Star Titan and ask them directly to let us help their search for the guardians?" Kyros suggested. "That way, we may even be able to find out more about the entity on the way."

"Kyros, that's a great idea..!" Azure said. "But...where would we even look to find them?" he wondered out loud.

"Now's as good a time as any to start looking." Kyros started, before hearing someone speak up.

"If it's Star Titan you're looking for, I've seen them around lately." Ciel commented, walking up to them.

"Huh..? Aren't you the leader of team Blue Wings, what're you doing here?" Kyros asked, slightly surprised.

"Well, I usually hang around this park when I'm not doing activities or events with my team. Still, their leader and a few members were heading for that new cafe a few blocks down." Ciel told them.

"In that case, I'm gonna go talk to them." Azure said, walking off with Kyros following behind. "Thanks, Ciel."

"No problem." Ciel said.

Quickly arriving at the cafe, Astra and Alon both looked over at the two arriving boys, while the white haired boy from before continued to sip their tea, not even acknowledging them.

"Oh? Team Azure Crimson, it's nice to see you." Alon said. "What brings you here, the famous drinks?"

"No, actually...we wanted to talk to the team." Azure answered. "I want to form a Team Alliance with team Star Titan, and help you find the guardians." He said, as the white haired boy suddenly spittaked their drink.

"...Ew, tone that down a bit, Adam." Alon commented with an eye closed, having been sitting next to him. "But...huh. I never expected to hear you ask that, although it's up to Astra." he said, as she put down her own drink.

"If Azure Crimson has grown enough since the last relay fight, I'll think about it." Astra said.

"...Then how can we prove to you that we have?" Kyros asked.

"Simple. Tomorrow, there is an event held by Christopher Lo to assess fighters with Psyqualia. I imagine he's been searching for you to tell you about it anyways. If you enter and win, I will accept your request for a team alliance." Astra said.

"I see...In that case, we accept your challenge." Azure said.

"Very well...The event is tomorrow, in the Star Gate park's new attraction, the Colosseum." Astra told him, as Kyros flinched.

"Right, then that's what happens tomorrow..! Azure, can we talk for a minute then, just strategy and stuff?" Kyros asked, practically pulling the boy outside with him.

"Kyros? What's up..?" Azure started, before Kyros spoke in a tone of more than a little worried.

"Azure! Nobody can make it to the event tomorrow except you! Marisa has a stream she can't miss, Drake is being prodded for a date with Alice, I have a doctor's appointment, Ray's mom is being...well, herself, and Gaea has a family trip with Maxon and his parents..!" Kyros said, Azure's eyes slightly widening.

"Wait...so NOBODY except me is available to enter the event tomorrow? What's the minimum we need..?!" Azure asked, getting on his phone to check. "3 people..!" He realized. "But if we can't do this event, Astra probably won't accept our request..!"

"I know, but there's nothing I can do about my situation, and I don't think the rest of the team can get out of their obligations, either..." Kyros said. "What're you gonna do?"

"I'll find a way...In fact, I may already know someone to ask for help from." Azure said, taking out his phone and walking off.

...I hope he's right, because otherwise, we may end up having to sit and wait for something to happen... Kyros thought to himself, and meanwhile, Glace seemed to be peeking over the corner in the distance.

So that's what happened... She thought to herself with narrowed eyes.

As Azure was walking through town on his phone, he immediately noticed Kara as well, and went up to him, as he looked more than unhappy to see Azure.

"Tch, what do you want? Come to rub the event in my face?" Kara asked.

"Huh? No, like I said, that was the best fight I-" Azure started, before getting cut off.

"Save it. What do you want, then?" Kara asked.

"Well, the biggest thing on my mind is that you mentioned the destructive entity...You know something about him, don't you?" Azure asked, as Kara scoffed.

"...I don't know what you know about it, but I suggest you walk away from it as well. Morien already did." Kara told him.

Morien was involved with the destructive entity...I guess that makes sense, given how he reacted before. Azure thought to himself.

"Now, my turn to ask a question. How do you know about the entity?" Kara asked with narrowed eyes.

"I guess there's no point hiding it if you know about the entity too...I'm trying to help team Star Titan find the guardians to seal it away again." Azure said. "But for them to accept a team alliance request, I need to win an event tomorrow at the Star Gate colosseum...The problem is that the rest of my team can't make it, and I need at least three people. I'd ask you, but...I'm pretty sure you hate me as is." Azure admitted. "Still, I'd better keep looking, thanks for hearing me out at least, Kara." He said, before starting to walk off.

"Hold it." Kara said, as Azure stopped and turned around. "...Defeating the entity...That would allow Morien to live freely again, wouldn't it?" He asked.

"...Well, I'd assume so, since the entity being sealed away means he couldn't do anything." Azure answered, before resuming to walk away.

"I see..." Kara said, looking at his card.

Meanwhile, picking up the phone was...Hiroki.

"Eh? Help you out at an event? Well, I can see why you'd call the strongest around." Hiroki commented with a smug grin. "Well...normally I'd say yes, but..." he started. "Well, Saori wanted to do something, and...I'm not that great at rock paper scissors, so...sorry." he admitted with a worried laugh.

"Ugh..." Azure said, as he hung up. "What am I going to do? I could ask Ciel, but he's probably busy with his own team..." he said to himself, crossing his arms, and trying to think.

"You sound troubled." A voice commented, as Azure turned around to see a girl with rather long pink hair tied back and flowing over her shoulder. "Is something wrong?" She asked.

"Well...Oh, what the heck, My team can't make it to the Star Gate colosseum event, and I really need to win it." Azure told her.

"I see. My own team can't make it either, and I was rather interested in participating." The girl admitted. "We have similar goals, so perhaps we could work together." She offered.

"Really..? That'd be great!" Azure said, smiling. "But...we still need one more person." he said.

"Right...I'll try to ask around, but I can't guarantee any success on my end." She said, turning around to walk off.

"Oh, wait..! My name's Azure, what's yours?" Azure asked.

"Mao. It's nice to meet you." Mao told him, before resuming walking away, Azure going off in the other direction.

Nice..! That's one down, I just need one more person..! Azure thought to himself.
