-[This is a continuation from Wrath of the Titans.]-
-Morning came as Maki was getting changed as she was getting ready for her second day of school. Maki opened the door and walked out of her room as she was escorted by Dramaru, upon walking down the stairs, she stopped and looked back up and saw that Dramaru was slowly climbing down the stairs, the girl would smile softly as she would lift up the little dragon and carried it down with her to the dining room as she went to have breakfast as her butler had prepared a meal for both Maki and Dramaru. As Maki was having breakfast, she looked at the TV screen on the wall that was turned on and watched a recording of last night's battle as there was a sight of a familiar dragon that Maki had recalled seeing before. The dragon was Shining-Dragon and the man in charge of the dragon was Nada Arata as he was seen standing behind the dragon as he was fighting a tall horned dinosaur. Maki's eyes widened when she saw the sight of a girl in the recording as it was none other than Hoshizora Rin with her monster Geogreymon facing against Shining-Dragon-
Maki: Rin?! This cannot be a coincidence. Just like from the other worlds, she joins national fights? But in the other world, Arata doesn't join fights, he's a loner.. -She said to herself as she would continue eating her bread while watching the fight-
-Within the recording. Shining-Dragon would fly back and dodge a flamethrower attack by Geogreymon as the horned dinosaur roared at the dragon loudly and fiercely-
Rin: You can give up now, Arata! Geogreymon has gotten stronger, nya!
Arata: I guess a dragon wouldn't cut it, huh? -He pulled out a card as the dragon in front of him would disappear as Arata would pull out a new card from the cartridge on his shoulder as it launched out the card towards Arata's hand as the man would raise his hand as the wind began to blow strongly and the card glowed. The light fired out from the card as it shot up into the air and would turn down and hit the ground in front of Arata as it created a massive explosion and caused everyone in the arena to not be able to see what Arata had summoned out. As the dust cleared, of six large bronze spikes poking out from the dust was seen along with a long and slanderous tail with a blade on the tip was seen, the creature within the dust would roar loudly as it blew the dust away and revealed itself to be the Ravenous Dragon, Gigarex-
Announcer: There it is! Nada Arata's most powerful Dinosaur! The ferocious and furious Ravenous Dragon! Gigarex!
Rin: G-Gigarex...? -She was in complete shock to see Arata going all out on her as Gigarex would charge towards Geogreymon and knocked it aside. Geogreymon would retaliate as it would fire a gush of flame from its mouth at the armoured dinosaur but was unable to hurt it as Gigarex would wrap its tail around Geogreymon's neck and left the horned dinosaur up as it would then toss it into a wall as Geogreymon crashed into a wall and fainted as it reverted back to Agumon- No!
-The crowd cheered loudly within the recording as Maki sighed and finished her meal as she got up from her seat and would head out to school with Dramaru accompanying her. As Maki stepped out of her mansion's gate, she was greeted by the large eyed lion-type cat with bright colours as it would meow at her. Maki turned and ignore the animal as she headed straight for school while Dramaru followed her and as they were walking away, the cat would follow her and the little dragon all the way to her school and as Maki entered her class and take her seat, she noticed that the cat had followed her all the way to her school-
Maki: Wha-? Why are you here? -She asked as the cat would respond with a meow and would jump onto her lap and slept on her lap as Maki said nothing as she sighed-
Rin: Oh? A new monster, nya?
Maki: I-I guess.
Rin: He's quite odd, nya.
Maki: Really?
Rin: I've never seen such a monster, nya. Where did you get him?
Maki: He just appeared right in front of my home and he followed me all the way here.
Rin: Eh?! He followed you here, nya?! That's a surprise..
Maki: Why is that?
Rin: Monsters with first encounters rarely accompany strangers, especially those they have just met.
Maki: So I guess I'm lucky..?
Rin: Mmhm! -She said with a big smile on her face as she nodded- Have you given it a name?
Maki: Not yet, besides, I don't even know what is it..
Rin: Maybe we should ask our Senpais, nya!
Maki: The seniors?
Rin: Let's go, nya! -She said loudly as she pulled Maki's hand and dragged her out of the classroom as Maki held onto the cat in her arms as it was still asleep while Agumon and Dramaru followed behind-
Maki: What about class?!
Rin: We don't have class today, nya! Today is "exploration day", we first years are allowed to fully explore and learn about the school and the monsters within the area for the whole day, nya!
Maki: That makes absolutely no sense at all! How is that even going to help with our studies?!
Rin: Who cares, nya! Let's just have fun!
Maki: This girl... -She sighed in exhaustion but would smile as it felt nostalgic to be with Rin and see her extremely energetic personality once more in a long time-
-The two would then head out to the school courtyard where they met a group of second years and the second year students were none other than Kousaka Honoka, Sonoda Umi and Minami Kotori. As Rin was talking to the three, Maki was sitting on the bench with the cat and Dramaru as she watched the four girls talk about the odd animal that Maki had found-
Umi: A cat?
Honoka: You sure it's not some sort of Flareon or a new type of Digimon or something?
Kotori: I did check through the database but I can't find anything about this thing. -She said as she was on her phone-
Rin: Eh?! Then what should we do. nya? Should I ask Eli-senpai and the others?
Honoka: Oh, let's do that!
Umi: Denied! I do not think that it is the best idea to ask the third years about this problem, especially when school had just started yesterday.
Honoka: Buu..
Rin: Nico-chan then?
Umi: Did you not hear what I just said?
Honoka: She should be free right now, let's ask her then!
Umi: Hey..
-Agumon along with Vulpix, Gabumon and Rowlet would all look up as they got defensive as a large shadow would cover the courtyard-
Honoka: W-What's going on? Vulpix?
Umi: Gabumon..?
Kotori: Rowlet? -She patted the owl Pokemon on her shoulder and looked up to see what they were looking at . The girls' eyes widened when they saw the sight of a dragon with long wings flying down as it landed in front of the girls in the courtyard and got the attention of many other students around the school as the dragon was "Shining-Dragon", the sight of Nada Arata was seen as he jumped off of the dragon's back and turned to Rin- S-Shining-Dragon...?
Arata: Rin, please explain the cat. -He said as he looked at Rin and would then turn and look at the cat on Maki's lap-
Rin: First of all, why are you here, nya?!
Arata: I was just passing by. -He snapped his fingers as Shining-Dragon would roar loudly and scare everyone within the area as it woke up the cat by surprise-
Maki: Agh! W-What are you doing?!
Arata: Looking for answers. -The dragon behind him would glare at Maki as the cat along with Dramaru got in front of Maki and defender her. The cat growled as its eyes glowed and its body began to glow as everyone else would watch what was going on- It's evolving..? No it's transforming..
Maki: C-Cat...? Kitty...? -She held onto Dramaru and took a few steps back as she noticed that the transformation had caused the cat to transform into a large beast in complete steel armour of red and white as it had a blue coloured tempered glass helmet on with two giant revolver-like cannons on its back as the giant cat roared loudly and stared at the dragon. The giant beast dwarves Shining-Dragon as it intimidated the dragon-
Arata: I knew it..
Umi: K-Knew what?
Arata: This is a Spirit, a powerful one too. One of the few Chinese Zodiac gods. The Tiger. Revol-Tiger! -He smiled in excitement as the Tiger charged a shot and fired it at Shining-Dragon but the dragon would dodge the attack and roared at the tiger as it quickly grabbed Arata and left-
-After Arata left, Revol-Tiger would shine and transform into a card as it floated in front of Maki and the girl would grab hold onto the card and look at it as she saw the texts on the card and read its name-
Maki: "The TigerTwelveGodKing Revol-Tiger", so that's your name, huh?
Rin: Maki-chan? Are you alright?
Maki: Just peachy.. -She would take out her phone and find Shinji's contact number as she would then make a call and head back to the classroom-
Rin: Eh? W-Where are you going, nya?!
Maki: I have a few things that I need to do outside of school.
Rin: Eh?!
-After Maki got her things and called her brother, she left the school and went into Akihabara to find her brother. As she went into the town, she went into a bar and saw a male with red hair as he was waiting a suit and was a bartender, the man was Nishikino Shinji. Maki would head up to the counter and put her bag down as Dramaru followed her. Maki crossed her arms and pouted as she looked at the man as he would look at her with a smile on his face-
Maki: You jerk...
Shinji: Oh? Why is that?
Maki: Why didn't you call?!
Shinji: I-I was supposed to call?
Maki: Yes!
Shinji: I didn't know. So what's up with you in that getup? -He asked as he wiped the counter with a cloth and gave his sister a coaster along with a glass of water-
Maki: I'm back in my first year of high school...
Shinji: Awww~ Well ain't that cute then? I'm now 21 and I'm working as a bartender! It's super fun too.
Maki: Because you don't have any customers?
Shinji: Yep~ Less crap to deal with too.
Maki: Did you find out why was our age reversed?
Shinji: Nope~ Nada! Couldn't find a single clue.
Maki: -She face palmed as she sat on the stool and sighed- God, you're so useless.
Shinji: Hey! Hey! Now that is just rude, at least I'm working hard.
Maki: I assume that this world is also similar to our original? Where you aren't close with Papa and Mama?
Shinji: Bingo~ You got that one right, it retains a similar tone of our original pasts but altered how it was supposed to be. Apparently, in this world, the dominant species aren't the Humans but the monsters you see around us.
Maki: ...What? Shinji, you're not making any sense right now..
Shinji: J-Just hear me out, alright?
Maki: Fine..
Shinji: Vanguard monsters and units along with many other creatures from our fictional creations are here and many more are being born. Like Pokemon, they are used for battle and self defence along with many other things, but only the strongest master can control the strongest monster~
Maki: Your Rayquaza seems fake to me.
Shinji: Wha-?! Hey! That's going too far! Ray did nothing to piss you off!
Maki: Sure, whatever.
Shinji: Oh and also, I found out one thing.
Maki: What?
Shinji: Now that I'm older, you should call me "Onii-chan"~!
Maki: What..?
Shinji: Yeah! You heard me, lady! Time to call your little brother: "Onii-chan"!
Maki: Your personality has changed since the battle. What happened to you, Shinji?
Shinji: Ah.. About that, the mature and so-called "emo" personality that you liked was transferred into someone else.
Maki: Huh? You're not making any sense.
Shinji: I ain't kidding there. I'm not particularly fond of this new personalty of mine but the dude who has my personality is Nada. He has my dark side.
Maki: -Her eyes widened after hearing what Shinji said- A-Arata has it?
Shinji: Yeah, why?
Maki: N-Nothing... -She said as she thought to herself- "No wonder it felt oddly weird and appealing to see and hear Arata's voice..."
-Maki was thinking to herself as she was showing obvious signs that she was being flustered as Shinji saw the blush on her face-
Shinji: Nee-chan...Nee-chan? -He called out to his sister and would wave at her as he realised that Maki had gone from being the mature woman that he once knew in their original world to a young high school girl who has no experience with love yet again. The male would sigh softly and smiled at his sister as he patted her head lightly as Maki would turn and look at Shinji with a surprised look on her face as she saw her brother's calm smile- Nii-chan's here to help!
Maki: R-Right... -She said as she blushed madly and turned as she looked away from him-
