There's more to it, 'ya know.
Released August 7, 2013
Back in the Blazblue universe, morning had just struck at Ronin-Gai and Tori was the first to wake up.
He stretched high into the sunrise as he slipped through Nirvana's arm.
The gunk in his eyes made him scoop it out with little force since he was still sleepy from the awakening.
When he turned around to Nirvana, Carl wasn't there with her.
"W-w-wha!? Where's Carl? I swore he told me he was keeping watch throughout the night!" Tori quickly shook Nirvana with all of his force to tell her something urgent.
"Ada! Ada! Please wake up! Carl's missing and I don't know where he's disappeared!" Nirvana had already woken up due to the violent shaking, but heard what Tori had said.
"..." ("Carl is... missing? And you don't know where he is?") Ada had slumped down since she thought this could be her fault, but Tori had urged her to stand up and encouraged her to be positive.
"Come on Ada, I know it's not your fault!" Tori had always look for the bright side in every problem with his friends and tries to avoid the negativity in the situation.
Tori held her chin up to make her face his joyful smile. When Nirvana had saw Tori's blissful smile, it reminded her of when Carl was perfect the way he was back in those years.
"We've got to find Carl no matter how many risks it takes!" Tori gleamed with pride in himself and tugged Nirvana's arm to run down back to Kagutsuchi.
"..." ("T-Tori... My feet weren't meant for running on grassy pastures and steep slopes...") Ada moaned as Tori ran down the steep hill with her as he was so hyper to solve the mystery of "The Missing Clover".
As her fraternal brother arrived in Kagutsuchi, Ada screeched in place to rest her legs and tugged Tori with her.
"..." ("Tori...*pant* You know...*pant* we could have just...*pant* jumped to Kagutsuchi...") Then she returned to her usual slouch position which seemed like that was comfortable.
A few sparks had appeared on Nirvana for a while, but stopped after that.
"..." ("I feel... pain... Tori, please take to Kokonoe. She's the only person who knows how to fix me beside Carl and my father.") She raised her arm and rested it on his shoulder.
Tori gripped on her hand and placed his other on top. "Well Ada, if I knew who Kokonoe was, then I would be able to help you."
"..." ("Come. I'll guide you on the way while talking about her past even though I'm a bit beaten up.") She placed her other hand on top of Tori's hands and they both strolled to Sector Seven.
After hearing Kokonoe's past, Tori now thought that everyone in this dimension had such horrible lives.
"..." ("Well, we're here.") She went out of service after that.
'I guess finding Carl will take longer now,' thought Tori as he dragged Nirvana carefully into the Sector Seven area.
But security had came early for the duo as the security was a giant, red cyborg; towering over Tori by 3 ft.
"Halt. What brings you here? Kokonoe didn't ask for anyone to come in yet."
Tori had trembled at the guy's massive body-build up and height. Ada had told him that Sector Seven was guarded by a cyborg by the name of Iron Tager. Even though the sight made him whimper, Tori had tell him why they came here.
He walked up to the red cyborg and as he was about to say anything, a voice was heard from some sort of mic from Tager.
"Hey Tager! What's taking you so long!? You know I don't let you have the day off until I say so!" From the feeling of the voice, THAT definitely was Kokonoe.
"Sorry Kokonoe, but we have visitors that came in without your invitation. I can tell one is Nirvana, but the other one I'm not sure of. He looks like Carl to the similarity."
"Hey, is Nirvana broken or something?" Kokonoe questioned.
"Looks to me she's ran out of energy from going place to place with her new 'master'."
"Well, I'll have her fixed up for the new guy, but he's going have to come with Nirvana. Tager, do tell the little cutie to come to the lab." Kokonoe purred at the last words of her sentence.
"Affirmative Kokonoe." 'Why did she say the word "cutie" at the remaining sentence?'
"Kokonoe accepts your invitation and wants you to visit her at the lab ASAP."
"Th-thanks T-Tager. I'm sure that Kokonoe would accept me."
As Tager had left where Tori could no longer see him, the pseudo vigilante and malfunctioning marionette entered Kokonoe's lab with caution.
Her lab was filled with vast technology that Tori has never seen before. As he was awed yet traumatized at the same time since the technology Sector Seven used looked horrifying. (To him)
In a flash, Kokonoe appeared in front of the young Chaser and shocked him out of his wits.
"So you're the little stranger that's been going around town. I've got to say, you've got to be the cutest person I've ever seen besides Carl." Kokonoe smiled as if she was in a good mood today.
"So Tori, you've come here to let me fix Nirvana, right?"
"Y-yes I- Wait! You know what my name is? I thought it was kept secret..." Tori was flustered to how Kokonoe would know something so secretive.
Kokonoe licked her kitty lollipop out of her mouth. "Well, a rumor has been going around in this area and I might have eavesdropped a little bit of info here and there." She ended with a slur as her mouth turned into a cute chibi mouth.
Tori had blushed a little bit, but Kokonoe bumped into his business and said,"Don't worry, 'ya secret is safe with me. Besides, I don't know that much about you, I just know your name and such."
Tori was relieved that Kokonoe didn't know that much about him, otherwise the secrets of his universe would be scattered all over this dimension.
"Now enough chit-chat, how about fixing up Nirvana for 'ya?"
The young Chaser agreed and handed the marionette to the beast-kin scientist.
It didn't take her long for repairing Nirvana since she has handled much more complicated machinery in the past.
20 minutes had passed and Kokonoe had Nirvana good as new.
"Here 'ya go Tori. One marionette ready for action."
"Thank you Kokonoe." He bowed down to thank her for fixing Nirvana in tip-top shape.
"You're just like Carl. Only a true gentleman could bow down for their regards of the person that helped them."
"Well, I wouldn't say I'm a gentleman yet, but maybe when I'm older." Tori had laughed a bit since he thought what he said was nonsense.
"Take care Tori. I hope you'll find Carl soon and return to your dimension." Kokonoe patted him on the back.
"I hope so. Come on Ada, let's get going! We're continuing to find Carl even if we meet all the people that you and Carl know!" Tori clasped to Nirvana's hand and walked promptly out the exit of Kokonoe's lab.
"Cute kid. He's becoming more like Carl. I wonder what Carl is doing in Tori's universe..."
Back at the Tigeroid ship...
Carl was teaching Rai some manners on how to be a gentleman.
"Now see, when you hold a cup of tea, you have to hold out your pinky finger like this." Carl reached out for Rai's hand and pulled out his pinky.
To Rai, it caused so much pain to him that he heard his bones break.
A moment had paused the atmosphere around them and Rai's temper had flown through the roof as he chased Carl around the ship; getting his revenge for breaking his finger.
"You stinker! You call yourself a gentleman!? I'm gonna show 'ya what I'd do to gentlemen!" Rai had said that as he was chasing Carl all around the ship and accidentally crashed into a wall.
Carl had took deep breaths as Rai was down. For now.
Well, to be honest, I think I got Kokonoe and Tager down for now since I was a bit busy back then.
