(Dynamis POV. After a night's rest, it is now 10AM in the morning, the same time as when Pluto arrived at the WBBA. )

"Morning kiddo! Ready to do some detective work today?" A female voice suddenly sounded in my ear. I opened my eyes slowly to see Elysse standing by my bedside, waiting for me to get out of bed. After forming our alliance last night, she led me to the guest room on the second floor so I could get some long awaited rest. I was quite tired after the whole airport fiasco.

"Oh. Good morning Elysse. What time is it exactly?" I asked since there weren't any objects around me to help tell the time. It also didn't help that my eyes still felt half shut.

"10 AM. I woke up a bit earlier to come up with a plan and I got one. We're gonna go get ourselves some help for this."

I felt relieved hearing that there were others willing to help with the situation. I responded, "There are other people willing to help me solve this incident? Who—"

Before I could celebrate, the woman cut me off, "Well I say help but they're more so helping because I'm involved. They couldn't care less about you, no offense."

I thought about her comment, before suddenly realizing just who exactly she was referring to.

"Johannes?"

"You're a smart one. Johannes has been running a cat cafe here in Metal Bey City since Nemesis got skewered like a kebab," she confirmed my suspicions before continuing on. "Before you ask me about whether or not he has done anything illegal yet, no he hasn't. Right now, he's much more concerned about his cats than being a cheesy delinquent so I wouldn't walk in there and start accusing him of stuff alright?" Elysse defended the unusual servant of Hades.

"I uh…I won't. I can't exactly afford to lose allies right now anyway," I spoke as I slowly got out of bed. It was unusual sleeping in something other than my shrine robes, but the suit itself was not uncomfortable, thankfully.

"Good, we're heading out in half an hour. Breakfast is on the dining table and speaking of which…" she paused before quickly pushing me out of the bedroom and into the other guest room right next to where I was originally. A set of new clothes were neatly laid out on the bed for me. A light brown sweater coat, a black dress shirt, a white scarf, and a black beret were all sitting there, waiting for me to put it on.

"Is this for me?" I asked.

"Well you know full well you can't go dressed in that," she teased before pulling out a set of accessories for me to wear. "Here, these are the most important parts of your disguise kid, your sunglasses and a mask to cover your face."

I took the two items from her. I thanked her for the disguise, and returned back to my temporary room to get changed. After putting on my new outfit, I glanced over at the wall mirror to see how I looked. It didn't look too bad on me, or Pluto I should say. The sunglasses and mask were able to successfully cover my face, making me mostly unrecognizable. My hair was still visible, but I was now confident that most people would not be able to recognize me. Before exiting the room, I neatly folded the bed and used the guest toiletries that Elysse had provided in the washroom across from the guest room. I took the sunglasses and mask off my face since I didn't need them indoors. I quickly walked down the stairs to see my breakfast in a takeout box.

"Hmph. Nice outfit, looks I still have a good eye when it comes to fashion. Have a seat," she walked from the kitchen counter to pull out the dining chair for me. I promptly sat down to check the food she had prepared. In the box was a short stack of Japanese pancakes. Next to me was a bottle of maple syrup, which I assumed was for the pancakes. I never tried pancakes before, but considering I was in Pluto's body now, I would have to get used to his taste buds. I took a quick bite, and was pleasantly surprised by its sweetness.

"Enjoying the pancakes? Looks like this is your first time having it or something," Elysse teased me.

"Yes. I do not get to try dessert type foods like this since I live on Mist Mountain Temple so this is a first time for me."

"Interesting, well hey now's the time to go try new foods if you want to do that. I mean you'll be using Pluto's taste buds but at least you'll get to have something different."

"I see, thank you very much."

After finishing the pancakes, I stood up to hand back the box. I wanted to help her with some of the chores before heading out. "Excuse me, but where do I put this?" I inquired as I held up the plastic take out box.

"Where? Oh I'll just throw it here," she took the box from my hand and quickly threw it into a portal. The gateway shut before I could catch a glimpse of what was on the other side.

"Well now that you're done, we can head over to Johannes's place. It technically opens at 11 but I'm a special case so we can get in there early," she informed me before opening yet another portal. This time, it led to an alleyway I did not recognize. Although, it's not like I would have recognized it regardless. The last time I first came to Metal Bey City with Tithi, we got lost and everyone at the WBBA had to conduct a search to find us. We stepped through the portal and found ourselves in the shadowy back alley. Elysse quickly shut the portal and walked out onto the main street. Remembering that I needed my disguise, I clumsily donned my sunglasses and clothed mask. I followed her out of the alley to see a cat cafe right across from us. Cafe Lynx.

Elysse and I strolled right into the building without second thought. At the door was a short young girl with brown hair, green eyes, and a white ribbon resembling cat ears. She wore an oversized pale yellow sweater, with black leggings.

"Hey excuse me we're not open yet—ELYSSE?!" the young girl jumped up in shock at the sight of the woman, "Oh my gosh it's been so long since you were here meow!"

"It sure has been Motti. I'd catch up with you but right now I've got some business with Johannes, it's urgent. Could you call him over please?" Elysse requested politely.

The cat girl nodded her head. "Motti will get Johannes right away, give me a minute meow," she smiled before darting to the other side of the cafe, running up the stairs.

"He should be here any second now," Elysse crossed her arms, waiting for the feline man to appear.

The cat cafe was quite a bit larger than I was expecting. I thought Johannes would have had a smaller location but it surprised me to see how fancy the property actually was. The cafe had far fewer cats than I expected. Although, they all seemed quite happy to be in the large space. The place was very spacious, almost as if the furniture was organized for the cat's sake and not the customers.

Not long after, Johannes rushed down the stairs to greet Elysse. He was in a different outfit from the one he had on during the Nemesis incident. Rather than the unusual "cat-pope" get up, he wore an oversized gray sweater, black pants, and dark brown dress shoes. He was still wearing the same hat from before though. His new look made him appear much less intimidating.

"Elysse? I thought you were going back to Mexico? What could possibly bring you—" Johannes greeted Elysse before suddenly pausing to look at me. His jaws dropped but before he could say anymore, Elysse intervened.

"Look before you scream in excitement. Don't. This is not Pluto, it's Dynamis. They got into a whole body switch fiasco and now we're trying to figure out what the hell Pluto is up to."

Johannes waited for a bit in shock but then promptly whined in disappointment, "So you mean to tell me that Pluto is back, but that ain't him but one of those lousy legendary bladers?" He paused to look at me before continuing to ask Elysse questions, "Meow, what's going on?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen or heard anything from Pluto so I can't tell you what is going on. Dynamis and I are trying to figure that out right now," Elysse spoke while pointing towards me.

I wasn't sure how to respond to Johannes. I awkwardly lifted my hand to give him a small wave gesture to say hello. He gave me a raised eyebrow and swiftly looked away from me. I could tell that Johannes was disgusted with my presence.

"Well, did you come here to get help from me or something?" Johannes asked, he kept exchanging unusual glares with me.

"Yea, that's precisely it. You'll help right?" Elysse asked the former servant of Hades now turned cat cafe manager.

"I'll help you, but…" The cat man glared at me, "Make sure he doesn't get the wrong idea. I'm helping you Elysse, not him. The second we figure out what's going on with the boss—"

"I know. We already made that agreement, he's aware."

"Fine with me then."

I didn't join in their conversation, it was like I was listening in on discussions I wasn't meant to hear. A part of me wanted to say something, but it felt like no matter what I said, Johannes wouldn't be pleased.

"I assume if you're looking for a helping hand from me, you're also here for them too right meow?" Johannes inquired, he directed his eyes to the stairs.

"They're upstairs right? Let's discuss this with them there," Elysse declared and without much hesitation, both her and Johannes walked towards the stairway.

"What are you waiting for? Get up here!" Johannes hissed at me in annoyance. I darted to the stairs quickly to catch up. I would have told him to show me less attitude but considering the whole situation, I did not feel like I was in the position to counter him.

When I arrived upstairs, the second floor was even more spacious than the main floor. I knew something was off when I didn't see many cats downstairs, it was because most of them were here. I took my time heading to the lounge as I wanted to observe the second floor for myself. Felines of different breeds were littered in every corner, some rested in cat beds parched on shelves, while others peered at me from the cubbies. Two cats in particular approached me. One was a black cat and the other was a calico. The felines looked at me curiously. Before I could extend my hand to pet them, they suddenly turned away and ran into the staff lounge that Elysse and Johannes had just walked into. I wasn't sure why they seemed so concerned about me, but I didn't pay it much mind. I didn't want to keep Elysse and Johannes waiting, so I finally stepped into the upper floor break room. When I entered, it seemed everyone else was already engaging in yet another conversation.

"Wait, so that Pluto over there is not Pluto, but Dynamis? The Jupiter Blader?" The man speaking was none other than Herschel, one of the bladers tasked with defending the Black Sun. Standing next to him were the other two guards, Keyser and Cycnus.

Much like Johannes, they were also in different outfits from when I last saw them. They all wore oversized modern sweaters reminiscent of their old garments. All of them had cat accessories of some sort. Herschel had a cat hat, while both Keyser and Cycnus adorned cat ear headbands. Why exactly were they—Oh. These were their work uniforms. Johannes must have hired them to also work at the cat cafe. As I inspected the room awkwardly, Elysse and the other workers of Hades continued their chat.

"Come on Herschel, of course that isn't really Pluto. If it was, Johannes wouldn't be so grouchy right now," Keyser sneered at his fellow blader.

"I guess you aren't wrong there, Johannes? You look like you might strangle someone right now," Herschel teased his fellow staff member, but Johannes was definitely not in the mood for the joke.

"If the fortune-telling idiot weren't hijacking my boss's body, I probably would. Oh great now he's in the room. Yuck," Johannes snarled. He seemed a lot more carefree back then, or maybe he just despised my presence.

"Well, technically speaking, your boss hijacked his body. So on a more positive note, that means Pluto should be doing alright," Cycnus tried to comfort Johannes, he put his shoulder on his employer. The cat man took another peek at me before sighing and jumping on the couch in frustration. "Speaking of which, it's good to hear Pluto is back but…anything on Rago?"

"Nope," Elysse stated bluntly. "We don't have anything. Only Pluto would know since he was with him."

"Sugar honey iced tea," Cycnus grumbled in frustration.

"Cycnus, you're allowed to be annoyed, just say shit," Herschel smirked at the white-haired blader.

"I am trying not to be an excessive swearing machine like you and everyone else. Especially when I work the counter, thanks," Cycnus complained back at Herschel.

"Ahem. We should probably get back to business," Elysse bossed before bringing everyone's attention to me. "As you know, we have a situation on our hands, we got our boss back but he's off doing god knows what in someone else's vessel, so we need to figure out what he's trying to do."

"How are we going to do that though?" Johannes questioned.

There was a long silence. It was almost ten seconds of awkward waiting before Elysse finally replied with a shrug, "I don't know, ask Dynamis. They know all the details already now so just spill the beans."

Everyone suddenly directed their attention to me. Even the two cats that had followed me earlier were staring.

I needed a minute to think, what would Pluto be doing right about now? Suddenly, it hit me. I was so occupied with Pluto's potential schemes, that I completely forgot that he was in my body.

I remembered why I came to Japan in the first place. The tournament. Even if he had a terrible scheme in my mind, he would have to pretend to be me and follow Gingka and his friend's schedule until the tournament concluded.

"I know what we need to do. I know not all of you think highly of me but I promise I am here to help. So please listen to what I have to say."
