Vivosaur Island - Richmond Building

A few months earlier...

On Vivosaur Island lies a large building called the Richmond Building, located in the guild area, it's serves as the headquarters of the Richmond Foundation, owned by Mr. Richmond himself, and right now he's inside his office when suddenly the elevator make an arrival sound and a man and a woman came out from it. The man looks like in his 50s, he has a brown graying hair with a moustache and a thin beard wearing a gray business suit and pants, and the woman is in her mid 20s with short brown hair, wearing a white blouse and black business suit and skirt.

"Mr. Richmond ! It's good to see you again my friend !" Exclaimed the man.

"It's nice to see you too Mr. Carrington, and the lady ?" Asked Mr. Richmond.

"Oh right she wasn't here the last time, Mr. Richmond she's one of my best agents in the company, go on introduce yourself." Said Mr. Carrington.

"Joanna Dark, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." The woman introduced herself and shake Mr. Richmond's hand.

And then after the introduction the three of them take a seat and begin discussing their latest project, the conversation lasted for hours, and then the elevator makes another arrival sound, and from the elevator a man with white hair wearing a white business suit and pants, and black shoes and a watch on his right hand came out from it.

"Good afternoon Mr. Richmond I'm here to continue our discussion about... Oh I see you still have guest ?" Said the man just noticed that Mr. Richmond isn't alone in his office.

"Oh..uh Mr. Dynal, our appointment isn't for another hour." Clarified Mr. Richmond.

"Really ? Hmm it seems I still haven't used to the time flow in this planet." Said Dynal in a low voice. "I understand I will come back later."

Dynal walked back to the elevator, however since he's walking by looking at his watch, he didn't noticed a flower vase in front of him, Dynal accidentally knocked over the vase and the water inside splashed his watch. And then Dynal's watch malfunction and changing his form from a man with short white hair into a bluish skinned humanoid with long white hair, pointy ears, red horns, black and red facial markings on his eyes and cheeks respectively, and wearing a long dark blue robe. Shocked by the revelation Joanna grabbed the gun she hid in her gun carrier in her thigh and prepare to shoot Dynal, but Mr. Richmond manage to stop her before she could do anything.

"Wait ! Stop Ms. Dark he's not our enemy, don't shoot !" Shouted Mr. Richmond running to stand in front of Dynal and gets in the way between Joanna's gun and Dynal.

"Mr. Richmond what is the meaning of this ? Who or what is that ?" Exclaimed Mr. Carrington.

"Mr. Carrington I can explain..-" Mr. Richmond tries to explain but Dynal cut him off.

"Please allow me Mr. Richmond." Said Dynal. "I am King Dynal XVI, I am a king of an alien species called the Dinaurians, and there's no need to worried, we have no sinister intent towards the people of this planet."

"You see, the Dinaurians home planet was destroyed by a planet devouring monster called Guhnash, and after since then we offered the Dinaurians to live with us on Earth." Explained Mr. Richmond.

"Wait so does that mean you also have extraterrestrial encounter ?" Asked Mr. Carrington.

"Also ?" Asked Mr. Richmond confused by Mr. Carrington's statement.

"Joanna lower your gun !" Ordered Mr. Carrington. "Yes, this is perfect ! Mr. Richmond now that I've seen this I can just reveal the purpose of our project, the purpose of our combined project is to reveal the existence of the alien species called Maians to the world, I wanted you to be part of it because I can trust you, but to think you also involved with extraterrestrials makes it easier, with this not only humans will make contact with one alien species, we can introduce them with two species at once, this will be our first step to establish contact between Earth and extraterrestrials."

"I see, honestly I'm surprised, but I agree with you ! The Dinaurians still have to live in hiding, using their technology to disguise themselves, I wanted to change that so they can walk on this planet as themself, and not using disguises, Dynal and I have been discussing such matters ourselves." Explained Mr. Richmond.

"Alright why don't we take a seat and please explain how you met." Asked Mr. Carrington, and then the four of them take a seat in the couch and began talking.

Mr. Richmond and King Dynal explain how they've met while Mr. Carrington and Joanna listen carefully.

"So because of your subordinate that planet eating monster is headed to Earth ? But how come no one knows about this ?" Asked Mr. Carrington.

"We've destroyed the monster before it even reached our solar system, and the news are only confined to this island, we never spread it beyond the island." Said Mr. Richmond. "But what about you Mr. Carrington care to explain about your alien encounter."

Mr. Carrington then this time explains about his experience with the extraterrestrials.

"I have no idea ! So the Maians are the ones responsible for your company growth, and then there's another alien species the Skedar, and they're the backer of DataDyne company !?" Mr. Richmond shocked by the revelation.

"We Dinaurians are familiar with the Maians and Skedars, but our relationship is pretty much neutral, we just know of their existence, not go so far as to establish a relationship or anything." Said Dynal.

"Then this is a good opportunity to for all of us to cooperate and establish relationship to one another, how about it ? Are you in ?" Asked Mr. Carrington with a smile on his face.

"Wait, are you sure the world is ready for this ? I mean you will expose them to two alien civilizations." Asked Joanna.

"I see your point Joanna, but we need to start, if not now when ? Besides, you and Elvis makes a great partners back then." Mr. Carrington reminded Joanna of her past mission.

"Well yes, but that doesn't mean other people won't have problem with it." Said Joanna.

"Our minds made up Joanna, I know it won't be easy but the time has come for humans to realize that we are not alone in this universe." Said Mr. Carrington firmly. "So where should we find a location for our project ?"

"I was thinking of Fossil Park in America, that place have many visitors coming, and the wardens there can be trusted to keep everything safe during the events." Said Mr. Richmond. "I will also contact Sean, the leader of Fossil Park America, if it's me I'm sure he'll cooperate.

"Alright then Fossil Park America it is !" Agreed Mr. Carrington.

After that discussion both Mr. Richmond, Mr. Carrington, and King Dynal agreed on the project, soon after Mr. Carrington contacted his Maian friend Elvis about his latest project, Elvis agreed to it as the representative of the Maian race, and prepare for the day that changes everything.

Japan - Kurosawa Antique (present day)

Located in Japan, an antique shop is located in a town near an infamous Mt. Hikami, a place rich of history and a popular tourist destination, now it's known as a place where people go to commit suicide, but after the mystery of Mt. Hikami is solved, there haven't been anyone set foot on that place again. A man and a woman entered the antique shop, he's a man in his late teen with black hair, wearing a black jacket, dark red shirt, and a black trousers with black shoes, while the woman seems to be in high school wearing a white shirt and blue skirt, and having a brown hair. Inside the shop there's two women in the counter. One of them appears to be in her late teens, she's a brown haired woman wearing a white and light brown clothing with black shorts, while the other one is a woman with long brown hair wearing a dark blue clothes revealing her shoulders.

"Oh, a customer, please come in." Said the woman in a blue dress.

"Sorry for intruding, oh wow." Said the man attracted by the two women's beauty.

"Mmm.. Sho what's wrong your face is all red ?" Asked the woman that's coming inside with him.

"Huh, nothing's wrong Ayumi ! I was just... Admiring the place, yeah that's it hehehe.." said Sho trying to trick Ayumi.

"Heh sure, whatever you want to tell yourself." Replied Ayumi sarcastically.

Trying to ignore Ayumi, Sho introduced themselves to the women inside. "Good afternoon, my name is Sho Utsugi, and this is my partner Ayumi Tachibana, we're from the Utsugi detective agency, and there's something we would like to ask you."

"Oh, then I guess I should introduce myself too, my name is Hisoka Kurosawa, and this is Yuri Kozukata, she's my apprentice." Introduced the blue dressed woman.

"So, how can we help you ?" Asked Yuri.

Sho put his hand into a pocket in his jacket, and he picked up a picture of a young man, he has a brown hair and seemed to be a Japanese nationality, and then he showed the two women the picture. "We're looking for this man, and from what we've heard you're quite the expert when it comes to finding missing people."

"Wait, Hisoka isn't he ?"

"Yes, isn't this the famous athlete Ryota Hayami ?" Asked Hisoka.

"That's right, he's one of the many athletes reported missing, and sad to say but not even the police has any leads about his whereabouts." Explained Ayumi.

"So you came to us to help you with this search, is that right ?" Replied Hisoka.

"Umm yes if you don't mind, I've heard that the owner of this place has a reputation of finding missing people, of course you'll be compensated for your help." Said Sho.

"Alright, we'll accept I'll see what I can do on my end." Answered Hisoka.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation, why don't we exchange contacts to make things easier." Suggested Sho.

Yuri and Hisoka agreed and they all exchanging phone numbers, Ayumi noticed Sho excited smile on his face.

"What's with that smile Sho, you seem very happy just from a phone number exchange." Teased Ayumi.

"What ! What are you talking about, I didn't smile, you're just seeing things !" Denied Sho. "Ahem, anyway we'll be leaving now, Miss Kurosawa, Miss Kozukata thank you for your time."

Sho and Ayumi thanked the two women and leave the store.

"You sure about taking this job Hisoka ? You're not exactly a detective or know how to fight either you know." Asked Yuri.

"It's fine, all we do is just gathering Intel, and leave the rest of the work to the police." Answered Hisoka.

"Yeah, but if the police themselves having trouble tracking down a well known athlete, don't you think there's something going on ?" Asked Yuri.

"I guess it might, but being gifted with this power, I wanted to do something good at least, and I'm willing to take the risk." Said Hisoka with determination in her eyes.

"Alright, then I'm coming with you, there's no way I let you do this alone." Replied Yuri.

"Thanks Yuri, I know I can count on you, by the way, that boy Sho, don't you think he's kinda cute ?" Teased Hisoka.

"Ah, what ! Hisoka knock it off, that's not funny !" Said Yuri embarrassed by what Hisoka said.

"Hah, man it's suck that we have work today, but at least I got phone number of beautiful girls so it's all good." Said Sho with a big smile in his face.

"You wanted to go to Tokyo to see that event right ?" Asked Ayumi.

"Of course ! Today is the Love Meets Bonds Festival after all !" Exclaimed Sho.

"Aww sweet ! Quick where is it !?" Asked Satoru excitedly.

"I put it inside the staff room, let me get it for you." Said the man as he walked inside the staff room.

"Calm down Satoru, it's not like this is your first time playing Card Hero." Said the girl.

"Stop being such a spoilsport Haruka, I mean i need it to crush Kiriwo once and for all." Replied Satoru.

"Honestly, boys, you're all so immature." Said Haruka.

"Yeah, and a sore loser like you have no right to lecture me like that." Said Satoru pointing out Haruka's flaw.

"WHAT ! I uhh well, it's not what you think." Haruka's face turned red trying to deny Satoru's words to no avail.

"Okay I'm back, here's the card I promised you." Said the man after he came back from the staff room.

"Aww right ! Thanks Mr. Maruhige, this place is the best !" Exclaimed Satoru.

"Haha, anything to make the customers happy." Replied Mr. Maruhige.

And then they turned their attention to the TV as it seems to show an exciting program on the channel, it's a tournament of robot battles, and the winner of the final round is decided.

"Oh that's a Custom Robo tournament, they sure are very popular, I'm talking about internationally, and for all ages, not to mention they even have a school specially to teach students into becoming a professional Robo Commander." Said Haruka.

"I'll admit they are, but Card Hero will always be the top of my list first and foremost !" Exclaimed Satoru.

"That tournament, if I'm not mistaken is sponsored by Kanzuki Zaibatsu this time." Said Mr. Maruhige.

"Kanzuki Zaibatsu ! Isn't that one of the most largest company in Japan !?" Exclaimed Haruka.

"Yes, and to think Custom Robo tournament caught the attention of such large corporate, I guess they will be staying for a long, long time." Said Mr. Maruhige.

"Well, Card Hero won't be going anywhere either, you have my word for it !" Assured Satoru.

"I know, if it's you Satoru I'll believe you, after what you've been through you've got what it takes now." Replied Mr. Maruhige.

"Of course, you can count on me !" Exclaimed the red haired boy.

After that talk the two of them leave the shop and head back home.

"Okay, and for you Mr. Runner up, what are your thoughts ?" Asked Karin.

"Well I'll admit losing is very disappointing, but I give all I can and that's what matters most, Aoshi and I have been rivals ever since we battle the first time, I won some and lose some, but thats ok, because I know my limits and potential to grow further." Answered Kaito.

"It seems you both have respect for each other, and that is great, rivals compete and work together, helping each other to reach even greater heights, I hope for all of you to strive your best and share your love for custom Robo battles to the world. That's it from me, and let's give it up for Aoshi !" Cheered Karin.

"So it's your win today, but next time I'm the one who's gonna take the champion title." Boast Kaito.

"Of course, I look forward to it." Replied Aoshi.

"So, I've heard you've been studying abroad, and more... Sorry I heard from Mamoru." Asked Kaito.

"It's more of a freelance thing, I just can't tolerate people who used custom robo for criminal activities." Said Aoshi with an angry tone.

"Yeah, I know what you mean, Dread Army, Goliath, Nikaidou Group, Greybaum Syndicate, custom robo is supposed to be fun, and to be enjoyed by everyone across the world, but there are people willing to use it for crime, and that sickens me too." Replied Kaito. "Look if you need help, please contact me, I'm one of the people responsible for the defeat of Goliath just as you responsible for the defeat of Dread Army."

"I know, and I don't doubt your skill, I'll assure you we'll be in touch." Answered Aoshi.

As the two men leave the place a shadow lurks in the corridor, and quickly left the scene.

Tokyo

Tokyo, the capital of the country of Japan, a huge metropolis, the busiest and one of the heaviest populated places in Japan. Right now there's a festival held every year called Love Meets Bond Festival, where singers across the country gathered together and perform in the concert. Many big and small names gathered to liven up the event. This is the day that many people awaits to enjoy themselves.

A group of teenagers are a part of the audience, they consists of three boys, four girls, and a cat. They went inside to a nearby cafe to rest inside and to talk about the concert that just recently over.

"Oh man this day is the best ! Seeing those idols on stage really makes me believe heaven does exist, with those angels singing those heavenly voices for us to hear, ahh i can die peacefully now." Said the blonde hairded boy in excitement.

"I agreed with Ryuuji, both their aesthetic and voice does wonders, hmm and I think I just come up with an inspiration for my next work." Said the blue haired boy.

"Oh it's always art with you isn't it Yusuke, but then again singing and painting is art, I'm so glad we've made it J-pop really is the best !" Exclaimed the girl with blue eyes.

"Of course, and you all should thanked me for making this happen !" Bragged the girl with orange hair wearing a glasses.

"I knew you're such a fan Futaba, but to even go this far to get us tickets, I must say I'm impressed." Said the bright auburn curly haired girl.

"I'm not really into going to concerts myself but I suppose it's nice to enjoy yourself like this once in a while." Said the girl with short brown hair.

"Well, I'll admit they're great, but Lady Ann will always be number one for me." Said the black cat, as only the seven teenagers the only one who can hear him, it's not a problem.

"I went back from home because I thought we all gonna meet, I never thought we would be going to a concert, but well it's not like I don't enjoy the concert either." Said the black haired boy.

"Oh, I know they're great right, so Ren which one do you like best ? I can't decide between Ryuguu Komachi and SPiKA, or Tsubasa Oribe and Kiria Kurono, but Athena Asamiya is also good too." Said Ryuuji excitedly unable to decide.

"Mmm think Rise Kujikawa makes a great performance on stage." Answered Ren.

"Oh ! That's unexpected, to think you had that great of a taste ! Man, you're something else Ren." Ryuji patted Ren's back.

"Well I'm a fan of IDOLiSH7, but to bad only six of them able to make it." Said Ann disappointed.

"Oh yeah, they say one of their member Nagi is sick, so he can't show up for the event." Answered Futaba.

"Well I hope it's just that, Nagi is biracial like me, I hope he doesn't have difficulty adjusting in Japan because of his mixed heritage." Said Ann worried.

"There hasn't been any problem with him being biracial so far, so I'm sure he really is just not feeling well." Assured Futaba.

"I guess you're right, we need to support them as much as we can." Said Ann cheered up.

"Ah seriously, you into that boyband junk ? They're all just mere pretty face without actual talent." Ryuji making a disapproval tone.

"Oh, so Ryuji what will you do if an entertainment company scout you, will you accept their offer ?" Asked Makoto slyly.

"Huh oh well... Of course I refuse, I'm not into that in the first place." Denied Ryuji half-heartedly.

"Really ? You don't want to hear girls from all over the country cheering for you and chanting your name ?" Asked Ann further pressing Ryuji.

"..." Ryuji just clammed up unable to answer.

"Hah I knew it, most boys just hate boybands because they're jealous, it's one thing if you're not one of the demographics they aim for, but it's another thing if you started badmouthing them without a good reason." Said Ann.

Ryuji feeling embarrassed and everyone laughed a little, Futaba meanwhile looking at her phone.

"What are you looking for Futaba ?" Asked the bright auburn curly haired girl.

"Oh Haru, it's just the news, it's said there's going to be a major announcement in Fossil Park America that will change the world tomorrow, even the President of United States himself is gonna show up." Said Futaba.

"Change the world ? That doesn't sound good." Said Ann skeptically.

"Oh isn't that where they said dinosaurs are revived from Fossils, is that even true ?" Asked Ryuji.

"Fossil Park does have an Asian branch but it's located in an island in the Pacific Ocean, hmm a creatures from ancient times reappeared in modern times, yes I can find an inspiration already." Said Yusuke.

"Is it really ? Compared to shadows and Metaverse, I don't think there's anything that can surprise us now." Said Haru.

"I suppose so, but I am pretty interested in it anyways, I'm gonna watch it on the internet when it show." Said Futaba.

Inside the office there's a boy and a girl talking, the boy have a short black hair, and wearing a black business suit, with white shirt, blue necktie, and black pants, while the girl dressed in a pink frilly costume.

"Great Job Tsubasa ! The festival was a success !" Said the boy.

"I couldn't have done it without you Itsuki, I'm glad you've got the hang of your new job." Replied Tsubasa. "I remember when you fumbling at your first day when Ms. Maiko resigned.

"Heh, it wasn't easy being a company president at 17 years old, those people did looked down on me, but I refuse to give up, I already promised I'll help you anyway I can." Said Itsuki.

"Oh that's right itsuki do you got the message from Ellie ? She said she will be at Fossil Park America, she got a job of covering the events tomorrow." Explained Tsubasa.

"Yeah I know, I'm glad her dream of going to Hollywood is coming true." Said Itsuki.

"Yes, everyone is going places, I must catch up to them." Said Tsubasa full of determination.

"If we have time we should watch it, she said it will be at 11AM tomorrow, so it will be tonight at 10 here." Said Itsuki.

"Yes we should, we need to give Ellie support." Replied Tsubasa excitedly.
