The next day, Evans went straight to Lawrence Municipal Airport, and went to find Hiro at their gate. He had told Evan yesterday that he and someone else would be joining him on the case. Curious about the mysterious new partner, Evan moved quickly, finding Hiro at the gate with another familiar face.

She was tall, semi-dark skin, long red hair, extremely beautiful (to everyone but Evan), and also quite a genius. She was none other than International Officer Cassandra Clementine, Cassie to those she knew.

"Well, well, well, looks like we're partners once again Mr. E." Cassie said, smiling that white smile of hers.

"So it appears." Evan replied, neutrally. Even though she could indeed be a great help, she would somehow annoy him.

"Well then, shall we go?" Hiro asked. Quickly picking up his carry-on, Evans hurried to the plan, Cassie following right behind him. Hiro sighed, knowing the fact that Cassie had a subtle crush on Evans, even though he had no idea. Not wanting to get left behind, Hiro hurried after them.

After 2 hours of awkward silence and Hiro trying to start up a conversation with either of them, they finally arrived at their destination: Tokyo, Japan. According to what Evans had figured out, the first sword key was somewhere in the Tokyo National Museum, no doubt being guarded by tons of guards. Luckily, they had a means around that problem.

Said means saw them instantly, waving his hand so that they could see him. "Well, it's good to see you again, Mr. E." he said.

"Good to see you too, Prime Minister Abe." E replied. Happy to see E helping out with the case, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe went to shake hands with Hiro and Cassie, then lead them into the museum.

"So, exactly what are we doing at the Tokyo National Museum in the first place?" Cassie asked, confused.

"According to the notes in my book, the first key sword is the sword with the 'great bear of the stars', and I think I know which sword it is." E replied.

"Really?" Hiro asked.

"Yeah, but we need Mr. Abe's help to gain access to the sword." E explained.

"That's correct, and I'm glad to help in any way I can." Mr. Abe said, happily. And with that, they reached the room where the suspected sword was put to be protected. The instant the guards in front of the door saw Mr. Abe, they stood to attention and saluted him, only for him to shoo them away so he could open the door. He lead them into the room, and upon seeing the sword, Hiro could not believe it.

Upon the stand in the middle of the room, laid an ancient sword with gold clouds and the 7 stars on it. "Of course, I should have known." Hiro said, amazed. E was grinning at the sight of the sword, but Cassie was completely confused at what was going on.

"Um…hate to be rude, but…there are no bears on this sword." Cassie said.

"Cassie, the bear isn't in the stars, the stars are the bear. Those stars are supposed to form the Great Bear constellation." Hiro explained.

"That's right." E replied. He went up to the sword to take a closer look.

"Okay, while that makes sense, why is it here in the museum?" Cassie asked.

"This sword" Hiro explained, "was said to belong to Prince Shotoku during his time serving under Empress Suiko. It was originally housed in Shitennō-ji, Osaka."

"That's correct, but when Mr. E told me what was happening, I had it brought here, so that it wouldn't be so easy to steal." Mr. Abe explained. Seeing that everything was under control, he excused himself, and left the room.

After a few silent minutes, Cassie asked, "So, now that we have the sword, what do we do?"

"Well, you give it to me, of course." Said a deep voice, full of confidence. Turning to the source the trio found themselves faced with a group of black-robed people with guns and swords, all pointed at them. Soon the source of the voice came to the front.

He was tall and masculine, with gray hair, a thin moustache, and glasses. He wore brown shoes, a black cape, a black suit, white gloves, and a black fedora. He had a jeweled cane in his right cane. Just by the voice, E had already known who it was; after all, he had appeared in almost all of his cases.

"I must admit, I should have known you were a part of this…Dr. Onist." E said, grimly.

Grinning evilly, Onist replied, "Of course I'm a part of this. After all, I am the true leader of Il Sacerdoti Del Caos."

Stunned by what Onist had just said, E and Hiro just stood there, while Cassie raised her hand, like a student would. Seeing this, Onist said "Yes, Miss Cassie, what is it?"

"Umm, just one question: what does that mean, exactly?" she asked.

"Il Sacerdoti Del Caos?"

"Yes."

"The Priests of Chaos, my dear."

"Oh, well then, could you just say that instead, please?" she asked, sheepishly.

"Very well, only because you were polite about it." Onist replied.

"What do you mean you're the true leader of the Chaos Priests?" E finally asked.

"Well you see" Onist explained, "my family has been the leader of the 'Chaos Priests', as you call us, since it's creation. I originally didn't want to become the new leader, and luckily, my parents allowed me not to. But of course, they eventually came back to me."

"I don't understand." Hiro said.

"They came to me about 6 weeks ago." Onist said, ignoring Hiro's question. "They said they had located the key-swords and were close to locating the place for the revival. Unfortunately, they had no leader, and since my parents were dead and I had no siblings, the job fell to me. Luckily for them, I decided to do so, since I knew you would come if you found out what was going on."

After a few moments, E finally spoke. "Well, I must admit, that was quite clever of you to deduce that."

Quietly and without anyone noticing, Hiro patted Cassie on the side. About to ask about the pat, she saw his eyes looking up to the ceiling, or to be more precise, the area over their captor's heads. She looked up only to scowl at an annoying sight; annoying to her anyway.

"Of course I'm clever. What did you think I was?" Onist said, mockingly.

"I thought of you as pretty…gullible." E replied, looking up over their heads. Noticing this, Onist looked up, only to say "…Schnitzel."

Something then fell from the ceiling, and suddenly people were flying across the room. After a few minutes, the only people left standing where E, Hiro, Cassie, Onist, and the trio's hero. Knowing what would happen if they stayed, Onist turned to E and yelled "You may have won this round E, but you won't always be lucky." Then he threw down a smoke bomb from his pocket, covering the room with thick smoke, and when it was clear, only the trio and their protector where left in the room, since Onist and the others escaped. The hero then went up to the trio and received a nod from E, a bow from Hiro, and a scowl from Cassie.

She was tall, thin, and beautiful, although E just thought she was pretty, which angered Cassie. She had snow-white skin and long black hair, and wore a black jumpsuit, black high-heel boots, a black mask, covering her eyes, a sword on her back, and 2 guns in her boots. Cassie didn't like her for 2 reasons: 1. She was the vigilante, Savior, so they didn't see eye to eye. 2. They both had a crush on E.

"Well now, may I ask what you're doing in Tokyo, Savior?" E asked politely, too politely for Cassie.

Chuckling, Savior said, in a seductive tone, "I'm actually here to help you."

"And why do you want to help us?" Cassie asked, rudely, causing E to glare at her.

"Because we both share the same goal." Savior replied.

"What do you mean?" Hiro asked, confused.

Savior then pulled out an amulet with the symbol of the Chaos Priests, but instead of a circle with arrows pointing in all directions, there was a dove with an olive branch in its mouth. "My family has led Il Sacerdoti Di Pace since its creation, just like Dr. Onist and the 'Chaos Priests', as you call them." she explained.

"So then, why don't the Peace Priests have the swords?" Cassie asked snobbly.

"I believe I can answer that." E said. He then pulled his book from his trench coat and opened it to a page covered in ink notes. "Here we go. Apparently, they did have the swords, until they were somehow stolen, right from under their noses."

"That rumor is true. We have been trying to figure out how it was possible and, unfortunately, we still have no ideas." Savior said, sadly.

"Well, maybe you can come with us." E said.

"WHAT?!" Cassie screamed, hurting Hiro's ears. "You got to be kidding me."

"No I'm not. After all, we could use Ms. Irasu's help in our case." E said, normally.

"…What did you call me?" Savior asked.

"Come now, you didn't really think you could fool me now did you, Amelia?" E said.

"You must be kidding!" Hiro said, shocked. "Amelia Irasu, daughter of Kyo Irasu, owner and head of Irasu Enterprises?"

"Now that's something you don't see every day." Cassie said, stunned.

Sighing in defeat, Savior removed her mask, showing herself to indeed be Amelia Irasu. "How did you know?" Amelia asked.

"It wasn't that hard. You look just the same, the only difference being your clothing and your mask." E explained.

"I see." she said. "So, about that offer…"

"Of course you can come with us." E said. Cassie fought every part of her body so she could not to call the cops.

"All right then, meet me at the Haneda Airport at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow. We can discuss the next plan there." she explained.

"All right." E replied. Nodding her head, she put her mask back on and climbed the wall and out the window. Soon, Mr. Abe re-entered the room with a dozen armed guards. "What happened?" he asked, worryingly.

"Dr. Onist happened. It appears that he is the leader of the Chaos Priests." E explained.

"Yes, and we were almost done for, until that vigilante, Savior, appeared and fought them all off. Unfortunately, Dr. Onist and his followers escaped, but the sword is still here." Hiro explained, showing Mr. Abe the sword.

"Well thank goodness for that." Mr. Abe said. "Well then, you better take the sword and find the next one, because if what you say is true, then Dr. Onist will try to stop you."

"I know." E replied. "That just makes it even more interesting."

Dreamer here. Sorry about the lateness. I meant to upload chapters 2, 3, and 4 in November, but completely forgot. Anyways, I will also be uploading 3 and 4 today as well.
