Saul started walking towards the cave that brought this whole thing about. As he left the tent, someone put their hand on his shoulder. He turned around, and saw it was Kaito with a serious expression on his face.
"You're going in there, aren't you?"
"Of course I am. It's my fault Chigusa got hurt. Those guys want something in that cave, and whatever it is, I can't let them get it."
Kaito looked at Saul with a serious expression until he shrugged.
"Well, no point in stopping you, but if you're doing this, you're gonna need these."
Kaito handed Saul a rope, flashlight, miner helmet, and extra rope.
"Thanks, man."
"No problem. Just make sure you hurry. I don't know how long it'll take before people notice you're gone."
"I'll be back as soon as possible."
They did a fist bump, and Saul went into the cave. He tied one end of the rope to a nearby stalagmite, and started moving. After about an hour of walking, he heard a couple voices.
"Help us…" they said.
He could tell they were nearby, so he picked up the pace. After another five minutes of walking, he saw a sight that made him gasp. There was a young man a couple years older than him with medium-length brown hair, green eyes, and a four o'clock shadow. Sitting next to him was an old man, in his late 70's with green eyes and silver hair. However, it wasn't just the fact that there were two people there. It was who they were. The younger one looked up, seeing his shocked expression.
"Well, are you just gonna stand there?" he asked.
The man's words barely registered in Saul's mind. All he could say was six words.
"Sam? Grandpa Dan? Is that you?"
The two men looked at him confused until the old man's eyes went wide.
"Saul is that you?" he asked, making the younger man gasp.
"Wait, Saul?" he asked. Saul nodded yes, and they came up to him. "Saul!"
Saul ran to them with tears in his eyes, hugging them tight.
"Oh, Sam, grandpa Dan, I thought you guys were dead."
"Oh, not a chance, little bro. We're still very much alive."
"But you guys were…And there wasn't a note or…"
"It's alright. We were just looking for this when we got trapped here."
Saul saw something embedded in the wall, looking like a set of teeth. He touched the strange object, and it started to glow. Before anyone knew it, the light died down and Saul was holding the object in his hand along with what looked like a key.
"What is this?"
"It's called the Kyoryu Driver," Dan said.
"Kyoryu Driver? That monster said something about this thing."
"Monster? You saw one of the Kyōryū no Satsujin?"
Saul turned his head and nodded.
"Yeah, I did. You know about them?"
"Let's just say we have a long history, and it's not a good one."
"Let's just get out of this cave, and you can tell me all about it."
They started following the rope back to the dig site. Once they got out, they found Kaito and Chigusa standing there, the latter with a scowl on her face.
"Hey, guys."
"Don't 'hey' me. You ran off on your own."
"Hey, I had to find out what was in that cave the monster wanted."
"And I thank you for retrieving it for me."
The group turned around to see Death Spike standing there with an army of monsters.
"Death Spike. So we meet again."
Death Spike looked at the man more closely before it clicked.
"Ah, you're the brat from 70 years ago that got away."
The group turned to Dan, wondering what was going on.
"Yep, and I can still kick your tail."
"We'll see about that."
Before Dan could get into a battle position, Saul got in between them.
"Hey, if you wanna fight someone, fight me! Leave my grandpa out of this!"
"Grandpa?!" Chigusa and Kaito said in shock.
"He's your grandfather? No wonder you get on my nerves without trying. Fine then, I'll destroy you right now!"
"Saul, you can't just fight Death Spike. He's one of the top Kyōryū no Satsujin."
"Look, I thought I lost you once. I'm not taking that chance again."
"Who cares? Destroy him, hatchlings!"
The little monsters charged at him, but Sam jumped in, and kicked a couple off him.
"You leave these two to me, little bro. You go after that guy."
"Gotcha!"
So Saul walked up to Death Spike, engaging in a stare down with the monster.
"As soon as I'm finished with you, I'm going after your family and friends."
"You won't get the chance to, because I'm gonna take you down now."
"We'll just see about that, boy."
The two of them charged each other, ready to begin the battle.
