/This story relates to the Curse of Sha Na Na Na/ Curse of the Universe & Curse of the Gods.
The blonde girl that had beautiful blonde eyes and had worn a detective's outfit was seen sitting on a wheeled chair as she spun herself around with the chair as she was chatting with the mechanic in front of her as he was creating a tall armed machined that had the head of a reptile but with no fingers as its arms were made out of two long blades. The man had red hair as he would stop cutting the metal in front of him and pull off his steel mask and turn to the girl and reveal his bright greenish-purple coloured eyes as he would set the mask down and walk over to the girl as she would pass him a bottle of water. The girl was none other than Amelia Watson, the world's greatest detective while the man is known as James Sabel, the Chronicler and the Maker of Arms in Britain.
James: So you were saying? You found a clue? *He asked as he drank the water*
Amelia: Yup! She's on Easter Island too!
James: You've been here for two weeks and you found your friend already? Must be THAT easy, huh?
Amelia: Hey, nothing's easy if the Internet doesn't work here!
James: That's because we don't need that here. In this universe, we're not dependent on technology but on our naturally made resources!
Amelia: Yeah, I know. In this universe, Earth survived much longer because the Humans didn't start any wars and didn't make use of any resources other than food and water..
James: And the Earth you came from before you moved to that planet called "Holographic" had wars and lots of death.
Amelia: Y-Yeah, kinda dark, don't you think?
James: Very, but we're protected by the Sanctuary of Light. The Shadows are too weak to fight against them.
Amelia: Now, you keep talking about the "Shadows" but what are they?
James: Well, like in your universe, your biggest threat would be Shiena Core Merkava and her father but for my universe, it would be the Servants of the Krana. Powerful dark deities that make monsters from the shadows to stop the light around us all.
Amelia: Sounds religious.
James: Technically it is but it is all but a tale~ In fact, that story has been told for centuries. It's all on you if you believe it or not.
Amelia: Huh, well in my world, I have a cute little boy who protects us all from harm~
James: Is it that Azuma boy that you keep talking about?
Amelia: Yup! He's super chill and he's cool too! He saved hundreds to thousands of planets before!
James: He must really be something if you really like him that much.
Amelia: Everyone loves him! Maybe I'll introduce you to him when we get the chance.
James: Take your time on that, but anyways, about your friend, what are you going to do?
Amelia: Well… I don't have any money on me to head to Easter Island but it would be great to head over there, you know?
James: I'll try and think of something for ya, just give me a few days.
Amelia: What are you going to do?
James: Get us a trip there.
Amelia: Eh? Y-You'll be coming along?
James: Of course! I can't just let you go out there on your own, it's dangerous. Even if the Shadows are not around, nature has its ways of taking life away from those who are living.
Amelia: Like bears and tigers? They'll kill me too?
James: It's the Circle of Life, Amelia. Anything that needs to eat will kill you if you're not going to protect yourself.
Amelia: Fair point, thanks for the information! *She said with a smile on her face as she wrote on her little notepad as James pulled out a large thick and black book from one of the shelves and passed it to Amelia as the book had black tentacle drawings on it* What's this?
James: I don't know, I found this book this morning while I was out gathering parts for my bot.
Amelia: This...This is Ina's book!
James: Ina?
Amelia: Another friend of mine. There are five of us and this belongs to one of the five!
James: Great! But can you read it? The scriptures are all in a language that I've never seen before.
Amelia: Yeah well, so is the scriptures for the Phoenix. I'll try and dig into this a little more, thanks for the help!
James: No problem, just make sure you get some rest, alright?
Amelia: Alright daddy~ *She said as she teased the man and head out of the warehouse as James chuckled and returned back to his work as Amelia would head to a small apartment complex and returned back to her home as she head into her little office and turned on the little television beside her as she would look into Ina'nis' book and Kiara's notes* Now, let's get back together, for old times sake.
Hours passed as night came, the sight of James was seen outside of his workshop as he was drinking a large mug of ale and was sitting on top of a tree stump as he was looking up into the beautiful night sky as the stars were seen glowing up within space. As he was daydreaming whilst looking up at the sky, the sound of footsteps could be heard from a distance as he looked in front of him and saw the sight of a girl with cream coloured hair and long-fox like ears that resembled that of a fennec fox. She had beautiful purple coloured eyes and had worn a simple white dress as she looked at James.
James: Pol, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be working?
Pol: We delayed the performance to next week~ *She said with a big smile on her face as she approached James*
James: Is that a good thing for ya?
Pol: Kinda~? I get to relax a little bit and spend more time with you~ *She blushed and chuckled as James got up and placed his hand on the girl's cheek and rubbed her cheek lightly* Hehe! I missed you!
James: We saw each other this morning.
Pol: I know but leaving for work and not seeing you for the rest of the day is kinda depressing, you know?
James: I know but we all have our own lives to see through. We must follow our duties after all.
Pol: I know but this world is pretty odd to have such tales and rules, don't you think?
James: I do think that it is odd but we've been at peace since the beginning so there's no harm in following something simple, right?
Pol: I guess everyone's world and universe is different.
James: Perhaps, though I'm not too sure of yours.
Pol: Mine was more technologically advanced but is also a free-world just like this, but I had lots of friends there and I don't even know how to get back..
James: Your case is similar to another friend of mine, I'll see to it that you'll return to your world but for the time being, try and do your best while you're here, okay? *He said as he would rubbed the girl's head lightly as he encouraged her while she smiled happily and nodded* Say, wasn't there anyone special in your world?
Pol: What do you mean?
James: Like, didn't you have a boyfriend or something there?
Pol: No, I was never particularly close to any of the guys there and many of us were just friends.
James: And what about the boy that you keep talking about?
Pol: Ah, him? He...Has a special group of girls that are madly in love with him. I can't beat them even if I wanted to.
James: What makes you say that?
Pol: Well, he has a Necromancer who loves him to death, she's mentally insane… A wolf girl who loves him like he's her child, a snow elf that treats him dearly and just many many other girls… *She sighed softly as she sat on the tree stump and put her hands on her face as she groaned softly* Uggh! Romance is such a pain in the butt!
James: It can be quite problematic but don't look into the past! Look at what's ahead of you and you'll see the light from it.
Pol: Ah, I love how optimistic you are but don't you get tired of it?
James: Well, I guess a little bit of negativity could always help and being too "bright" can be somewhat annoying to some people but I believe that "Hope" is what everyone needs in their life, no matter what it may be.
Pol: I guess that's part of your charm then, but, we're not dating yet, are we?
James: That is a tough question….Our relationship is very….
Pol: Unstable?
James: Not exactly. Unorthodox might be the word for it.
Pol: What does that mean?
James: Different but unique.
Pol: We've only known each other for two week and you're fine with us starting it out like this? Don't you believe in Soul Mates or destined love or something in between?
James: *He sighed softly as he smiled at the girl and would hold her hand and pulled her up lightly* Come, let me show you something.
Pol: Eh? *She was then pulled as she followed him up to the roof of the warehouse and as he did, he covered the girl's eyes and would release his hand and showed her the view of the homes and city streets from down below as his warehouse and home was above a tall hill at the top of the city* I-It's beautiful!
James: I don't believe we're meant to be together. I believe that we are just two people who met and liked each other a lot and worked really hard for one another, we may not know much about each other but only time will tell. Of course I believe that Soul Mates exists but not everyone needs a Soul Mate, right?
Pol: *After hearing what James said, she chuckled and laughed as she held the man's hand and leaned on his shoulder* You're so cute~ Hey, will you come and see me next week?
James: Definitely.
Pol: Then it's a promise, we won't be seeing each other until the performance, okay?
James: So that we'll crave for each other even more?
Pol: YES! You took it right out of my mouth! Hahaha! You're the best!
James: Hehe~
The next following day, as morning came, Amelia was seen in James' home as she was having breakfast with the man in the kitchen as the two had bacon and toast together.
James: So how was progress?
Amelia: Well, apparently she IS on Easter Island but I have no clue on how we can get there.
James: That so? How about I show you something?
Amelia: What? *James would then head outside while eating his toast as Amelia followed and when she did, her eyes widened at the sight of a purple machine-like jet that had both biological and mechanical parts as the vehicle was moving and was staring at both James and Amelia with its red eyes at the nostril of the jet* W-What is it?
James: I present to you the Rahi. This will be our transport.
Amelia: It can take us to Easter Island?
James: Perhaps in a few hours.
Amelia: That quickly?!
James: Made from the body parts that I found from destroyed machinery and animals that wanted to live as long as we do.
Amelia: Eh? Y-You combined the dead and the machine together? That's kinda gross…
James: I guess I did...Now that you mention it, I guess I did create something a little bit too extreme but it's alive and it's fine.
Amelia: W-What is your job anyway?
James: Mechanic.
Amelia: With biology?
James: In between. Now let's go.
Amelia: Huh?! Now?!
James: Of course! We gotta find your friend after all!
Amelia: But I haven't packed yet!
James: What is there to pack?
Amelia: G-Good point but I need my notes and Ina's book!
James: Hmm, fair enough. I'll wait for you here. I'll prepare some supplies for our trip, assuming that the Phoenix isn't the only person that you're looking for.
Amelia: Y-Yeah, she isn't. She just happened to be the easiest to find at the moment.
James: Not a big surprise considering that she's a big bird.
Amelia: Tell me about it. *She said as she would run back to her apartment to get her stuff while James head into his warehouse to gather the materials he needed*
Moments passed as the two had prepared their bags and items and would set off to Easter Island on the Rahi as it spread out its large and wide bat-like wings and flew up into the air and headed straight for Easter Island and as the two were heading their way to the island, the song "Mr. Blue Sky" was heard playing as James had brought a little stereo and was playing music on it while Amelia was taking pictures of the ocean and little islands below her with her camera while the two were riding on the back of the Rahi.
"Warning! Todays forcast calls for blue skies.
Sun is shining in the sky

As the two were flying over the ocean for a couple of hours, Amelia was looking at the sea as she could see sharks and dolphins swimming together with many types of other fishes while there were massive pteradons flying up in the air as well.
Amelia: Are we there yet?
James: We've been flying for two hours now, we should be there in a few- *As he said, the Rahi stopped flying and landed on an island that head a large statue around the island* Hours...I guess not.
Amelia: Eh?! Already?!
James: Seems like it.
Amelia: How fast were we flying?!
James: Fast enough to not realise that we were here before we even knew it. *As he said, Amelia would get off of the Rahi and take out her notepad and begin searching for clues as she held onto her magnifying glass. James would get off as well and would pull out a little glass ball and absorbed the Rahi into the ball as he would then follow Amelia and watch her closely* Found anything?
Amelia: Grass! Lots of them!
James: You don't say? *As Amelia was busy looking at nothing but grass, James looked up ahead as his eyes widened at the sight of a restaurant in the middle of the open grass plains as he would tap onto Amelia's shoulder lightly* Amelia?
Amelia: Hmm?
James: Could that be it? *He asked as he pointed and Amelia would look up ahead and saw the sight of a fast food restaurant that had a large sign that said "KFP", Amelia and James would then look at each other for a moment and look back at the restaurant and was confused by the sight of it as they would then walk towards the restaurant*
Amelia: Only one way to find out..

The based idea of a world that relied on nature and life itself other than machines and technology was taken from an original story known as "Kisunagi". Many tales and stories of the new world that Amelia has found herself in would be further explained in future chapters as well.
