It was Sunday now. Mythra was the last to get up. She held her head and groaned in annoyance as she entered the kitchen only to find Miko and Kaito slurping down some kind of soup at the dining table, enjoying themselves fully.

"Soup at 9:00 in the morning? Seems a bit too early for that." She announced to everyone before wincing in pain and falling onto the wall of the kitchen.

"Good morning, Goldilocks." Miko said dryly.

"You slept like a log, Mythra. We could hear you all the way in the den." Kaito remarked.

"W-well… I was tired, alright? There's nothing more to it than that…" Mythra winced once again as she gripped her temples tighter, using the wall for support. "Christ almighty, they don't make these drinks like they used to…"

"Evidently not, according to Frankie, you did some, uh… things that certainly wouldn't be indicative of… 'taking it slow', if you catch my drift." Miko grinned deviously at the Blade, who stuttered in embarrassment before folding her arms and turning away.

"It-it was the alcohol talking, that's it!" She defended.

"Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, sister." Kaito added, causing Mythra to flush an even deeper red than before.

"If you wanna know where your boyfriend is, he's getting himself washed up before breakfast." Miko said.

"Call him that one more time, I dare you…" Mythra warned, turning around to face the younger woman.

"Yeah… you'd like that, wouldn't ya?" Miko batted her eyelashes at the Blade innocently. Mythra scowled and wrinkled her nose at the young lawyer, silently sending the most vulgar words she could think of her way in her mind. Just before she could really do anything herself, Frankie entered the scene.

"Mythra! Beunos diás!" He called out, drying his hands. Mythra turned to Kaito in confusion.

"That means good morning." He quickly explained.

"Oh…! U-uhh, m-morning, Frank…" Mythra replied sheepishly, rubbing her arm in embarrassment a little.

"Shall we add more fuel to the fire?" Kaito cheekily asked Miko.

"Let's let this one play out, I wanna see where it goes." Miko replied with an excited wink.

"I don't know about you, but I slept like death! How are you feeling, by the way?" Frankie asked, his brow furrowing a small bit in concern.

"I got a bastard of a hangover… can't remember the last time that happened…" Frankie sighed at her response.

"I figured as much… is Pyra doing okay?"

"Yeah, she is. She wasn't the one drinking."

'Lord have mercy, these girls get stranger and stranger every day.' Frankie thought to himself before speaking aloud again. "Well, it's not exactly a prescription, but I do have something that might be able to help with that. And it's called Breakfast."

"Ha… I like the sound of that." Mythra walked on over to Frankie, who was pouring her a bowl of a red soup-y substance with bits and pieces of what looked to be corn and some kind of meat swimming around in there. "What do you call this stuff?" She asked.

"It's Menudo. My mom and grandma used to make this stuff all the time for breakfast on lazy weekends. Not homemade, good heavens, no, the tripe would take forever. We usually just get the canned stuff. But I did add just a bit of garlic and chicken stock to both kinds just to give a little… kick to the flavors." Frankie explained.

"'Kick?'" Mythra was already remembering just how horrible her Buffalo wing experience was.

"Oh, I don't mean like that, Mythra! Yesterday already gave me enough of an insight to your tastes-" Frankie turned away slightly and muttered under his breath. 'And unlike you, mother, I'm not gonna peer pressure her with it's so goods and it puts hair on your chests…' "Miko, Kaito, and I are having the spicier kind, I got you the regular kind." Frankie handed Mythra a bowl and a spoon and directed her to the table. "There's condiments here if you want a little extra." He pointed to the lemon, onion, and cilantro in the middle as the Blade sat down.

"Uh huh… and why this specifically again?"

"Supposedly, this stuff is good for a hangover. I wouldn't know… I'm not much of a drinker." Frankie admitted as he poured himself a bowl.

"Oh- sure, those great balls of fire from last night could've fooled me!" She hollered.

"Hey now, blame the waiters on that! I asked for light liquor! And… between the lot of us, if I didn't wanna look cool, I would've asked for none at all…" Frankie glanced away shyly.

"And why exactly would you care so much about looking cool, big brother?" Miko snarked. Now it was Frankie's turn to be flustered as he shot a look at Mythra quickly.

"N-no reason…" He said as he plopped himself down on the seat to eat with the lot of them.

Mythra took a spoonful and sighed peacefully as she bit into the corn and 'tripe' as Frankie called it. The warmth of the broth, the intense flavor of the garlic, even the small squirt of lemon she threw in for extra flavor heightened her senses and already took quite a weight off her head.

"I can really taste that chicken stock… you're really something else, Frank." She said in a much less tense manner.

"W-well… I didn't do EVERYTHING, you know…" Frankie sheepishly admitted.

"Alright, now that we're all woken up, can you two stop making out and listen for a sec?" Kaito asked.

"YOU STOP THAT!" Frankie and Mythra cried simultaneously, both a deep red.

"Wow, that stuff really works, huh?" Kaito smugly held his own bowl to his face.

Mythra stopped yelling for a moment as she realized he had a point, she was already feeling much better than before. There was still a slight ringing in her head, but she was far more alert and aware and she could make significant movements without a splitting headache occurring.

"Huh…it really does."

"That's my big brobro's skills for ya-" Kaito tipped the bowl to his mouth as he drank the rest of his soup, before slamming it on the counter.

"Right! So-" He pulled out his notepad, the same one he used when he questioned Pyra, "-me and Miko figured out a lot in that museum…"

"This place has Frankie written all over it." Miko dryly expressed as she looked around. The supposed museum consisted of what was essentially a large park filled with two giant dinosaur statues stationed strategically to make for good photo ops.

"Well let's hope it has Pyra and Mythra written all over it too." Kaito started making his way to the brontosaurus statue. Miko slowly followed in suit, still not sure how this roadside attraction could have much info on their specific situation.

Making their way through the brontosaurus, the pair went around reading the articles that lined the statue of the creature. Thanks to their short stature, minus Kaito's facial hair, they almost blended in with the children exploring as well.

"Welp, no luck with any of this stuff…" Miko walked over, having read a good handful of articles that led her nowhere.

"Yeah, me neither. Man, these articles are preachy, I get that they're trying to sell the place but they could at least treat the reader with some miniscule amount of respect in the wordin-"

Kaito was cut off by Miko placing her hand on his shoulder and giving him a blank look.

"Right, right- no need to editorialize."

"Wait, I got one more!" Kaito removed Miko's hand off of him and did a faux pas 'so adorable!' reaction. "'There's something in the children's DNA that knows man walked with these creatures on Earth?' I can already hear Frankie blowing a gasket as we speak. And I can especially hear him chatting our ears off with sciencey stuff."

"Heh, indeed. No wonder he didn't want to come." Kaito ruffled his girlfriend's hair as they proceeded out of the brontosaurus.

Miko unruffled her hair. "It's a cool concept though. Giving information inside a dinosaur statue, it's cute."

"That's true, but considering that we got nothing of value from that first dino, I'm starting to think that's all we'll get out of this venture." He looked over at the remaining dinosaur, which was a giant T-Rex.

However, as they made their way over to it, Miko suddenly felt a strange breeze. It was an odd feeling, something she had never experienced before, but it felt…oddly familiar. She stopped dead in her tracks, which Kaito took note of.

"Hm? Muffin? Is something up?"

No response.

Kaito, his casual attitude dropped considerably, walked over to her and tapped her lightly on the shoulder.

"Miko?"

Almost as if awakened from a daze, Miko stirred and then suddenly darted her eyes around.

"W-what did…"

"You okay, Koko Puff?" Kaito gently held his arms around her.

"I'm…fine Kokonut. I just think…maybe the heat's getting to me, that's all. I'm alright."

"Well…if you say so."

Miko started walking forward as Kaito looked on, still rather uncertain. It was odd for Miko to zone out like that unless she was in deep thought or concentration, and it wasn't a particularly hot day, nowhere near hot enough to bother her. He wondered if something was going on…

"You coming, Kokonut?" Miko called back to him as she was already quite far ahead.

"Oh-you got it!"

Just as Kaito caught up, Miko felt another breeze like she did before. Except this time it felt like it was almost…pulling her in a certain direction.

"...hey Kaito?"

"Hm?"

"Come over here for a sec, I wanna check something." Miko then darted off to the foot of the giant T-rex.

Kaito was about to ask why, but simply shrugged and followed her.

They stopped right at the giant foot of the statue, as Miko proceeded to stare at it intently.

"Hey uh…Miko? You're acting a little weird. Is something up?"

"I said I'm fine, yeah? Now where was…" She dismissed Kaito for a moment and placed her palm on the statue, walking around the base of the foot and keeping her eyes peeled for what she was looking for.

Eventually, she saw it.

"Kaito! Over here!"

Her boyfriend rushed over to her side.

"W-what's up? Did you fall? You feeling sick? Light-headed? You need some water? Medicine? I-"

"Wha…no, silly. I mean look at this!" She gestured to what initially just looked like some scribbles on the side of the statue's foot, but what was actually revealed to be some form of writing or carving.

"O-oh, sorry for uh- wait… what is that?" Kaito kneeled in order to get a better look.

It seemed like there were hieroglyphics etched along the surface, unreadable to Kaito, but certainly something beyond what a child could manage.

"So…what's this mean? Miko?"

Miko went rather silent again. Realizing she was starting to worry Kaito, she snapped out of it and responded.

"So uh…you trust me…right, Kokonut?" She turned to him with an earnest and concerned look.

Kaito sighed in some relief and patted her gently on the back.

"Of course I do, love."

Miko blushed slightly before she too sighed in relief and shook her head.

'That dork.' She thought. He knew exactly what to say to her to make her heart flutter and feel comforted.

"Right, so…" She returned their attention to the etchings. "...I'm…pretty sure I can read this."

"Huh…" Kaito, at this point willing to accept just about anything, simply kept looking forward. "So…what's it say?"

"Well, there's a lot here, but basically it says 'This is the famous and dangerous Rampaging Sauros, known for roaming the lands upon the back of the great Gormott.' Then there's a set of numbers and letters that don't read like anything, they seem random."

"And you're…sure that's what it says?"

"Kinda, some of it's a bit fuzzy, but I don't think I got anything explicitly wrong." She took out a pen and paper and wrote down the phrase she just read. As she did so, Kaito took out his phone and snapped a picture of the phrase as it was.

"Why'd you do that?"

"I mean, clearly this has something to do with Pyra and Mythra's whole situation right? Maybe they know something about this text that you can't figure out with these newfound mystical powers of yours."

"W-well…Kaito I can explain I-"

"Kidding, Muffin."

The two of them stood up and faced each other, Miko now clearly concerned and taking in what was transpiring. Kaito responded by putting his hands on her shoulders and touching his forehead to hers.

"Let's not worry about it too much for now, okay? You can tell me about what's going on here at your own pace. For now, let's just keep going. Frankie, Pyra, and Mythra still need our help, yeah?"

"Yeah…"

"You're feeling alright?"

"I am…I'm just…worried that I worried you."

"Oh Koko Puff." Kaito pulled her in for a big hug. "What'd I ever do to get the most kind and considerate girlfriend in the world?"

"O-oh come on now, you…" Miko reciprocated and squeezed tightly.

"So long as you're not hurting, and you're telling me everything you need to tell me, I'm perfectly fine."

"Right. Thank you, Kaito…"

The couple proceeded to embrace each other lovingly under the giant goofy statue of a dinosaur named Mr. Rex.

A few hours (and pieces of delectable fried chicken from the local restaurant) later, Kaito and Miko proceeded to go into Mr. Rex proper to take a look at the articles inside. To their dismay, none of them seemed to be anywhere close to relevant to their search on information of Pyra and Mythra's background.

"Well that sucks, this one is a bust too." Kaito looked around the whole area to see if there were any articles they had missed, something he'd done about a dozen times now.

He was about to close the book on this issue and just leave with what info they had gathered, but then he noticed Miko was still very anxiously looking around. She clearly still felt that there should be something here.

Even under normal circumstances, Kaito would trust Miko's instincts on matters such as this. So that combined with whatever sensory she attained that had her find the hidden message on the foot meant Kaito was determined to keep looking for something that they could use. He decided to look over the articles yet again, starting with the one closest to the entrance.

"Hm? I thought you read that one a ton of times already." Miko walked over to Kaito who was scanning the article.

"Well now I'm trying to find something else, like…I dunno…a hidden message or code."

"Code huh? Well even if there was something like that here, we'd never be able to crack it just by reading the text, we'd need a…key…"

Miko suddenly stopped her train of thought and stared directly forward, which Kaito immediately noticed.

"So like, is this gonna be a regular thing from now on or-"

"That's it!"

"What is?"

"The key!"

"What key?"

Miko dragged Kaito by the arm over to herself as she held up her notepad to his face.

"That sequence of numbers and letters on the foot, that's the key!" Miko rushed over to the article Kaito was just reading as Kaito himself was still a little lost.

"A2-BX-C6-DL…" Miko looked between the sequence in her notes and the words on the article as Kaito simply watched her work.

After a few minutes of this, Miko slumped to the ground, upset.

"W-what happened?"

"I can't figure this code stuff out! Why does this stuff have to be so complicated and headache inducing?" She curled up into a ball.

"Oh Koko Puff…here-" Kaito gently pulled her up by her arms and held her head to his chest for a moment.

"...thanks Kokonut."

"Don't mention it. Now, you wanna try and explain to me what you're trying to do here?"

Miko shifted around and pulled out her notepad again.

"I'm a bit shocked you haven't picked up on it, Kaito, this stuff is way more your speed. Essentially I'm thinking that sequence of numbers I found on Mr. Rex's foot is actually a decoding key, and that if you apply it to these articles you'll get some sort of secret message."

She put her head in her hands.

"But when I tried just now all I got was this gibberish-"

She showed him a set of seemingly random letters and numbers. Kaito took the notebook and analyzed it for a moment.

"Wait a tick…" He realized something oddly familiar about the sequence.

"What did big bro call it…right! This is Base64!"

"Base sixty-what now?" It was Miko's turn to be a bit lost.

"It's a sort of encryption language, I don't know too much about it but Frankie works utilizing this stuff all the time. Essentially it takes a set of letters and numbers that look random, runs them through a sort of calculation, and then you got yourself a proper sentence."

He pulled out his phone and started typing in the web browser.

"What are you…wait, you're trying to get the decoder for it, aren't you?" Miko grabbed onto his arm.

"Sure am. We'll take that sequence you found and translate it in Base64, and if we're right, that should give us an actual sentence.

Kaito then proceeded to type in the letters and numbers into the decoder website.

"T-y-B-l-b-2-x-5-I-E-F-l-Z-2-l-z…plug that in and…"

This time Kaito was stunned into silence, but not by any awakened sensory ability, no.

"Kokonut? What is it? What does it say?"

Kaito took another few moments to glance at what the decoder had translated the sequence to.

"It…it says the phrase 'O Holy Aegis'..."

The two of them stared blankly at each other, nodded, and quickly agreed to start taking pictures of every single articles' text for they now knew how to make use of them.

That brought Kaito and Miko's explanation to the current moment, with them having spent the past few hours combing through the saved articles and documenting their findings. They had decided to keep how Miko came across the information on Mr. Rex's foot to themselves for the time being.

"You know… it just dawned on me… your world is FLIPPING insane!" Mythra shouted after Kaito and Miko finished their tale.

"Our world? It's your world too, you know, get with the times, Grandma." Miko snided. Mythra scoffed in response and turned away.

"Well, I'll give it this, it's sure as hell isn't boring." Mythra smirked at Frankie in particular as she mused.

"Not the time, Mythra…" Frankie cringed ever so slightly, clearly picking up that she was referring to his little outburst last night. Mythra chuckled cheekily in response before turning back to Kaito and Miko.

"So, now what? You need me to go all ancient sage on you two to figure out our next course of action?" She asked.

"Well uh, yeah. I guess that is what we're asking for. Just…if any of these questions are too uncomfortable to answer, let us know, alright Mythra?" Kaito's tone, on top of being unphased by Mythra's snark, was twinged in a sense of urgency. Mythra took a deep breath and sat up a bit more.

"Alright, alright. Don't keep me waiting, let's just get this over with."

"Kay, let's start with something nice and lowkey-" Kaito scrolled through the translated text on his laptop, "-a lot of these articles describe these things called 'titans', in particular one called Gormott. You ever heard of that?"

"Mm… forgive me, I do have a solid answer, but it might not be that helpful. Details get fuzzy after every reawakening and with Pyra and I being asleep for as long as we have, we might not be able to give you absolutely everything you want to hear." Mythra pardoned herself.

"I thought you said the Aegis was a Blade that couldn't forget…?" Miko whispered discreetly to Kaito.

"That's not to be brought up here, Miko, shh…" Kaito whispered quickly back. "That's fine. Just tell us what you do know."

"Well, yeah, it sounds familiar. But really, that could apply to most any titan. Couldn't tell you any really specific names or anything of the sort, but that being said, I do remember spending quite a bit of time there. It was our base of operations, so to speak."

"'Our'?" Frankie asked.

"My last Driver and his little crew. Actually not too different from this space here, now that I think about it." Frankie didn't respond. He remembered Pyra's dream a little more vividly now. He had too many thoughts brewing in his mind from that little tidbit Mythra just shared… a few quite selfish, and that was the last thing he needed to paint himself as.

"I see, Miko? Did you have anything you wanted to ask about this?" Kaito turned to his research fellow, who nervously shifted around at his suggestion.

"W-well, this might be a stretch but…do you remember a bit about what the people of Gormott were like?"

Mythra raised her hand to her chin. She could in fact vaguely remember the lay of the land and the people on it, but was having some trouble finding the right words to describe them. However, she took a glance at Miko and suddenly something…clicked. She put her hands together as she explained.

"Well, they weren't exactly super different from the people of today. I suppose if I had to come up with a word for them it'd be… humble. Lots of people lived in small huts and were perfectly content with that. It was…a relaxing place."

"Huh! Now we're getting somewhere!" Kaito started jotting down what Mythra was saying.

'Humble people…lived in huts…Mythra remembers people a lot better than she remembers places, heh."

Meanwhile, Miko's eyes shone a bit at her response before she noticed and quickly looked away in some embarrassment.

Mythra took note of this and chuckled at the smaller girl. It was adorable how her snark almost evaporated once she felt flustered in some way. In fact it…reminded her of someone.

"I…had a very close friend who was from Gormott, actually." Mythra absent-mindedly added.

"You did?" Miko shot back to attention. "W-what were they like?"

Mythra leaned back a bit as she continued, reveling in how…nice it was to interact with Miko when they weren't being fussy about everything.

"Well, me and her had a few similarities I would say. She was pretty darn feisty and had quite the sailor mouth on her, alright. But…she was very kind and had a very strong heart." She interlocked her fingers slowly as, for the first time in ages, warm and comforting memories started to play in her mind, Miko taking in every word she said diligently.

"And she was just the cutest little brat too, any time she got in a mood, her…wait…" Mythra stopped as she made a sudden realization.

"Mythra…?" Frankie reached out slightly in concern.

"CAT EARS!"

Mythra's outburst caused the room to go silent for a moment.

"...what?" Kaito stared at the Blade, puzzled.

"…You had me all worried sick over… cat ears?" Frankie stared at her, completely bemused.

"Will you stop and let me explain real quick?!" Mythra shot back.

"Orá…" Frankie rested his forehead on his hand and motioned for her to continue. "Cat ears, está locá, cat ears…" He muttered to himself.

"What I mean is, I do remember one thing about the Gormotti people that stood out. They all had cat ears that stuck out of their head like this-" She positioned her hands into triangle shapes on top of her head.

"Uh…huh…" Kaito pondered for a moment.

"...so you're telling me this place had cat girls-"

He was cut off by Miko knocking him upside the head with her notebook.

"M-Miko!" Kaito exclaimed suddenly.

"No, go ahead… finish that thought… finish it and see what happens…" Miko leered viciously at her boyfriend who shrunk into his seat nervously in response. "…That's what I thought… now get back on track."

"Right, right." Kaito added Mythra's explanations to his notes, as did Miko.

She blushed furiously, clearly annoyed by his comment, but something about what Mythra said intrigued her too. She began to drift away from the discussion for a moment to start a sketch in her notebook.

Mythra on the other hand simply laughed as she yet again felt a sense of comfort and satisfaction in being able to chat with her Driver's companions so calmly. They were such nice and engaging people to talk to, and for a moment Mythra realized this must have been how Pyra felt the week prior.

"Looks like you two aren't that different from Frankie and I, huh?" Mythra asked playfully. Kaito, still rubbing his head from Miko's blunt hit, smirked Mythra's way as he replied to her.

"Oh, so you admit it then?"

"I…! That's not…! Sh-shut up…" Mythra shifted her eyes towards Frankie inadvertently as she desperately tried to hide a blush. Though that was when she saw him looking quite somber and deep in thought, and in an instant, hee face softened up a bit.

"You okay, Big Guy?" She asked with a slightly sad tone to her voice, snapping Frankie out of his funk temporarily.

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Just thinking." He replied.

"About?" She prodded.

"Not thinking, I mean… taking this all in, processing it all." Mythra furrowed her eyebrows further since she knew there was something more to it than what her Driver told her, but he certainly didn't seem in the mood to talk about it.

"O…okay, if you say so…"

The questions proceeded with middling results at best. Mythra's memory of locations and details were incredibly vague and unreliable, over which she was becoming increasingly annoyed. Every question just waned away further and further, whether it was how specific the details were, or how long ago the events they were trying to get her to recall took place; what started off with questions about people and places shifted to those of actions and moments between the people in her life, but no no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't dig down deep enough to actually give a meaningful answer, her frustration in herself disappointing her even further.

"Okay, okay, I know, tensions are high, but how about this? Do you know anyone by the name of A-" Kaito was about to continue before Mythra cut him off.

"Can you not? Like, seriously. The more we go on, the more I get pissed off and the more I keep getting reminded just how… how…" Mythra turned away and fought back tears. Miko was about to call her out on her callous and selfish wording, but seeing how much this was actually affecting her made her rethink it and just exchange concerned glances with Kaito.

"Mythra…?" Frankie asked again, placing a hand on her lap just as he did to comfort her when they were on trial. Mythra glanced downwards briefly before sniffing harshly and wiping an unseen tear away from her eye.

"I'm fine… I'm fine… just… still trying to get over the craziness from yesterday…" She said, a bit stilted.

"Sorry, Mythra…" Kaito grimaced sheepishly as he fell back into his seat a little.

"I told you I'm fine… let's just… not talk about this anymore for the time being… I wanna enjoy my Sunday." She said. Frankie sighed and shook his head remorsefully.

"With how much all your research actually managed to accomplish, we might as well have done what Pyra and I did last time…" He remarked. He was met with silence and uncertainty, particularly from Kaito, whose frown and brow were wrinkled much much more than Miko or Mythra's. That look on his face was the stuff of nightmares for Frankie and he couldn't bear to look at it any longer, sinking down himself and tightly shutting his eyes in regret. "I-I'm sorry… I didn't mean like…" Mythra place a hand on his back in sympathy.

"It's okay, Big Guy… you don't have to apologize…" She said sorrowfully.

"I'm not putting you through that as long as I can help it, big bro. I'm not. And I know you don't want Pyra or Mythra to go through the same thing again." Kaito added.

"I know that…! I'm not… stupid." Frankie turned away from them all and folded his arms. Mythra sighed once again, she knew that feeling all too well.

"I guess it was a bit too early to start getting to work on all this stuff… huh?" Miko asked.

"I guess… sorry…" Kaito hung his head low.

"Quit feeling sorry for yourselves… you're helping where you can and we thank you for that… it's not our fault we're such emotional babies that get tipped over the edge so easily…" Mythra said while Frankie still stewed over his thoughts.

'Former Driver… a HIM no less… yeah… it's all coming back to me now… a relaxing place… perfect for tons of little demon spawn to be running amok and bringing in mud and dirt and crap… forget about me, huh? Going straight to the source via cosmic transportation again… what an idea…'

Straight to the source.

What an idea… what an idea…

"What… an idea…" Frankie picked himself up slightly as his eyes shone a fair bit, coming on to a realization of his own.

"Frankie? You got something?" Miko asked as the other two people in the room turned to him expectedly.

"Kaito… you mentioned a place called… Toro… Torvo… Torera… …Torracat…?"

"Torna, big bro." Kaito helped.

"Torna…" Frankie intoned. "Sounds like Torah… THE Torah… yeah… The Torah… and Torna, meaning… RETURN!" Frankie shot himself out of his seat excitedly, shocking everyone as he quickly ran into his room and came back out with his laptop, opening it up and proceeding to get to searching.

"Frankie… what are you doing…?" Miko asked, still dumbfounded. "Last time Kaito and I tried looking something up, it didn't end well for us, don't you remember?"

"Oh, I'm not 'looking' for anything, Miko." Frankie explained as he typed in on his keyboard frantically, with Mythra hovering over curiously to see how exactly any of this technology worked. "I'm not looking because I know exactly where I want to go. Where WE NEED to go."

"Need to go?" Kaito mimicked. "Big bro, what are you talking abou-"

"We've got a flight to catch!" The three others stared at him in confusion before Miko spoke up to break the silence.

"Weren't you the one who said that going on a plane was a bad idea because of her core crystal? Why are you suddenly okay with this?" She asked.

"Well, these past few experiences with Mythra and her powers got me thinking about how that little thing operates in the first place… so here's what we'll do…"

Frankie pulled the lot of them in and whispered his idea dutifully, each point being made strung another member of the group along further in going through with it. Kaito broke formation first and nodded slowly as he thought over Frankie's plan a little more carefully.

"Yeah… yeah, that could work…!" He stated

"It's worth a shot." Mythra added.

"Well, big bro… she is your Blade… What's our next course of action, then?" With Miko's final question, Frankie beamed proudly as he grabbed ahold of his laptop excitedly.

"Guys… pack your bags for Friday night. We're going on a mission… or should I say… 'TO' a Mission?" Frankie turned his computer around to let everyone see what he had searched up. A flight booking website with one destination in mind.

Tepoztlán, Mexico.

The country of Frankie's blood.
