Claire was in Japan for vacation, during one of her days she took on a path that leading was to a shrine on a mountain, the trail was too long that she had to take multiple breaks to make it.
"This place better be close by, I'm tired of walking already."
She got up from a rock she sat on to continue her path. There were other people heading to the other direction talking about the shrine being haunted by a spirit. She pulled out a map and noticed that there was something missing.
"Wait a second, there was an escalator installed... darn that guide tricked me!"
She destroyed the map in to shreds and directly found the shrine. It was empty, and it was getting dark with the air getting cold. Claire was feeling paranoid after hearing an echoed voice from the shrine. With full confidence, she didn't expect that someone would come out of the shrine. A mysterious girl that was hiding in the shadows of the entrance trying to scare Claire with a warning.
"Whoever dares enter my beloved shrine will pay severe consequences."
Claire was so confused that she forgot it was about to get dark, and the way back to the hotel is a long way and it was dangerous to go alone, so she entered the shrine to pass the night.
"I don't give a shit if I enter here, you got that?!"
No one responded to Claire when she entered. She adventured off trying to find a room but accidentally found someone waiting with a candle.
"Those who don't obey shall bee punished..."
Claire was getting scared until the lights turned on to see everything clearly. She focused on the girl that had orange fox ears and tail dressed in a kimono. The girl was about to panic and couldn't introduce herself properly.
"H-hi... the names... K-Kuo!"
Claire had a sensation of disappointment to get it over with it.
"It's nice to meet you Kuo, my name is Claire."
As Claire introduced herself, Kuo has been devilish.
"Don't think with a nice greeting won't get you out of the punishment mis."
Claire got scared while Kuo was getting closer, ready to do the punishment. She closed her eyes while Kuo pulled five cards behind her ear, Claire opened her eyes and found that Kuo just wanted to do a magic trick.
"You could have told me it was a magic trick."
Claire got excited and ran around Kuo that made her dizzy. Once she stopped, it prepared her to ask someone to be their new friend.
"Will you be my friend Kuo?"
She didn't know why Claire wanted to be her friend, but she was happy that they are friends.
"As well... can I stay for tonight? The way back is pretty long and its already dark."
"Sure!"
Kuo pulled Claire into the bedroom that she will spend the night.
Meanwhile, at the other side of the world, Dennis was trying to remember a few things that dint make sense while covering his left eye while X was monitoring his consciousness levels.
"Ok... were in 2017... count it back to 2013... and I remember all my school days but theirs a missing memory, the only thing I recall is waking up under a tree."
X noted everything down for research to see if theirs away to get all Dennis memories back in order. He had even questions prepared in case of an emergency.
"Do you recall a massive stash of weapons?"
Dennis scratched his head and had remembered a few of them.
"Demonic sword strautos, Ice sword gladden, and the inferno blade."
These swords were the only ones that Dennis remembered for now, and X noted it down to remember it later.
"Ok, do you remember how to use magic?"
Dennis got a confused stare on X.
"Dude, what are you talking about? Magic isn't real."
Dennis said.
"Says the guy that mastered every element."
X showed a recording to Dennis of him casting all magic spells that he knew before he lost his memories, and within that recording he noticed that Claire and Dj were there and remembered something that it gave him a head deck.
"Let's call a day for now, your brain is valuable to me right now."
X said as he was putting his stuff away. "
That's weird u weirdo."
Someone was knocking on the door that the interrogation was being held, X pointed at Dennis to open the door.
"If you truly are me, then why you are bossing me around?"
Dennis asked.
"You can't boss me around, you don't even remember the things you did."
X mentioned as he saw Dennis open the door and saw his friends eavesdropping on the conversation.
"We want to know as well."
"Not happening until its clear guys."
X grabbed Dennis phone, secretly adding a few programs and augmenting the data space. He even updated the contact list on how the calls would work. Dennis senses got triggered that made him turn around 180 degrees to take his phone off X hands that made his friends surprised on his reaction time. Owen and Dwight clapped as if there was no tomorrow while Nidializ raised up a perfect score board.
"Fast reaction time, check."
X was still testing Dennis to see if he had a few of his skills back, and it was only the start of it.
"What's your code for facing an entire army by yourself?"
X asked. Dennis strictly positioned himself as a soldier, saluting far off in the distance.
"Create the surrounding into my battle zone for my advantage and disadvantage!"
X gave another check mark, meaning that it was right, it was going to be a long night but Dennis quickly escaped with his friends to sleep, each bedroom got divided for two people to stay in it, but they went to separate rooms because it would be weird sleeping in the same room right now.
X had another plan in mind after going to his office on the second floor of the house, he pressed a button that was showing 9 people in different possess and only had fully showed was himself holding two pistols having his arms crossed showing an x and Dennis being surrounded by over a dozen of sword holding one on his right hand pointing it directly to who can see it.
"Just 7 more to go before starting the operation."
The lights turned off by themselves and the room turned pitch black for X to go to sleep.
