Why do I make stuff like this?

Released July 19, 2013

The Clover siblings and their guest had sat under the shade of the sakura tree and finished their food about 20 minutes later.

Apparently, the sight of Ronin-Gai really surpassed Tori's point of view.

Lanterns waved as the winds were pushing them with a gentle force. The neon lights began to glow dimly as the sun sets at the nearest horizon line. Sakura petals were spewed through the air by the graceful wind and floated down to the streets; making a pink hue around the buildings of Ronin-Gai.

It was a marvelous sight to see as the flaming star had fizzled behind the horizon and dark hues took over with twinkling lights.

Tori had never seen such beauty back at his home which reminded him to why he had come here.

He wanted to go back. Homesickness had affected him throughout the day and felt anxious to what might happen back there.

As night covered the sky, Tori yawned as he was fatigued from following two people he hasn't known for long. But he knew that trusting them could only be his option to get home.

He snuggled under Nirvana's arm and quickly fallen asleep by the noises of nature singing a lullaby to him.

Carl wasn't tired just yet, but had trouble being on guard for interlopers. He fell asleep anyway on the grassy ground below him.

He was inches away from his guardian, but a shadowy figure with wisps of green marks dragged him away from the sleeping duo.

The rustling of grass was only heard of the body being dragged to the Cauldron, where Relius had stood his ground with Ignis hovering inches above the surface.

As Terumi had arrived near the Cauldron, Relius hadn't known by now what was that ghost thinking in his devilish mind right now.

"Well Terumi, what are you going to do with my offspring? It's not going to make a difference," Relius said with no sense of interest.

"Your little son has made a friend from another dimension without an invitation. I was wondering if that boy can't control Nirvana like this brat, then maybe your 'offspring' can't do the same in the stranger's universe."

Terumi had wanted to mess around with the new boy from another dimension and reluctantly tossed Carl into the Cauldron to wherever it takes him.

"Well, that takes care of him. Now, we have some business to do, ol' buddy." Terumi had disappeared to where he wanted to be and Relius simply sighed and teleport to where his mate was going along with Ignis.

Meanwhile...

Sena had asked Komorka to form a portal to figure out where Tori had went during their vacation.

The rest of the team were in Komorka's room as well and backed a few steps away as Komorka formed a portal on the ceiling.

The portal had grown as Komorka concentrated on the spell and a figure dropped from the opening of the ceiling.

The Chasers thought it was Tori, but took a close look at the foreign figure.

Komorka also closed in with the rest of the Chasers as she wanted to know who was it.

Carl had been rudely awakened to a hard impact on the floor and opened his eyes slowly to find 5 unfamiliar faces surrounding him.

He quickly straightened his back and asked the Chasers, "Well, this is surprising. You must be Tori's friends. May I ask where am I?"

"Wait, you know Tori?"

Rai grasped his shirt with the metal fixture.

"Where is he? How come you know about him?" Rai was shaking him violently to make Carl spill out the truth, but all he was doing was making Carl shaken up.

"Rai, that's enough! I'm sure he has befriended Tori and probably hasn't learned that much about us." Sena split up the grasp between Rai and Carl.

"I'm sorry about Rai, he's gotten a bit temperamental after Tori's disappearance." Sena apologized to Carl and bowed down because she saw that the outfit he was wearing, he was definitely from an upper class.

"That's okay, Miss Sena."

Carl fixed his blond hair from the shake and bowed courteously to everyone in the room.

"Greetings, everyone. My name is Carl Clover. It is a pleasure to meet you."

The rest also bowed to greet him. Except Komorka, who was trying to bow down, but Carl didn't want to injure her back.

"Miss Komorka, that's not necessary for you. I'm okay with normal greetings."

Carl had helped Komorka out of her struggle of the bow and examined the room around him.

Donha was a bit out of his misery, but thought Carl was Tori.

"Hey Carl, I know you remind me of Tori, but would you mind being part of the Chasers and help out finding the rest of the cards?"

Donha hugged Carl tightly as he was comforted by the patting on his back.

"Of course I'll help Donha. After all, what are friends of Tori for?"

That made Donha feel a bit better and Sena answered his question before Rai had interrupted him.

"Well Carl, you're in the Tigeroid ship and as part of the Chasers for now, you'll have to follow orders just like the rest of the team. Got it?"

"I got it, Miss Sena," Carl said politely before a pair of clothes was thrown at him.

"Here, these are Tori's clothes. You'll need them if you're going to be Tori so that you'll fool the Dragonoids."

'Dragonoids? Tori never told me there were Dragonoids in his universe.' Carl thought as he went inside the bathroom to change into Tori's clothes.

Man, I really hate to how this is going to turn out.
