-= D'Hjerte Villa =-<br/><br/>DJ Samson and Rain have come home to their Hangout villa. It was late, and Samson had already headed off to bed. Rain, however, couldn't sleep as readily. He just stared up at the stars, reflecting on this crazy, crazy day.<br/><br/>"{sigh} Well, so much for the semester," he muttered. "...Though I suppose it wouldn't hurt to stick around and sightsee."<br/><br/>It's then that the shooting star appeared in the sky, coming close the Hangout and crashing into the far west.<br/><br/>"(?!) That...!"<br/><br/>Rain couldn't help but become curious about this shooting star. He slipped out of his room with the skill of a pro magician and headed out toward the star's location.<br/><br/>"(I don't like this...Something about that shooting star is just...off. But that might be why I have to check it out. I feel a need to...be ready against it.)"<br/><br/>-= Memory Lanes Hotel =-<br/><br/>Zenmei had brought Mademite and Ikebana to the hotel room, and they were already fast asleep. With that, he went up to the hotel's rooftop and looked up at the sky.<br/><br/>"...It wasn't coincidence that I came here this day," Zenmei said to himself. "It's coming around this area. Whatever it is, I have to make sure it doesn't bring harm..."<br/><br/>It's then that the shooting star flew across and landed to the west.<br/><br/>"(!) There it is!"<br/><br/>As Zenmei went off to investigate the shooting star, it seems the impact had woken up Mademite.<br/><br/>"(?) Wh...?"<br/><br/>He ran over to the balcony, and saw the shimmer of the shooting star. He was about to sneak off the balcony...<br/><br/>"M...Made? Where are you going?" Ikebana spoke up.<br/><br/>"Ah - ! Well, um..." Mademite stammered. "...You can see it too, right? Out there?"<br/><br/>Ikebana, still tired, reluctantly hopped out of bed and joined up at the balcony, where she could see the star. "There...?"<br/><br/>"Yup. Something's up about it...and I'm gonna find out what. Just...Just wait here, okay?"<br/><br/>"No! You can't go out there by yourself!" Ikebana protested. "That could be too dangerous for you! Wait...too dangerous for both of us!"<br/><br/>"Relax, I can handle any danger that comes my way," Mademite claimed, tapping the hilt of his toy katana.<br/><br/>"<span style="font-size: 70%; line-height: 116%;">...That's not even a real sword...</span>" Ikebana muttered to the side before looking back to her brother. "Besides, wouldn't Dad be checking it out already? There wouldn't be any need for us to go there. At least not in the middle of the night..."<br/><br/>"Well...then...it won't be too dangerous! He can make it safe even for us!" Mademite answered. "...We can't be kids forever, you know. We have to be brave. Brave enough to face anything that happens. That's why I'm going to check out that star."<br/><br/>Without a word more, Mademite hopped off the balcony's side...<br/><br/>"(!!!) Brother!!"<br/><br/>...Enveloped in a golden-yellow light, he transformed from a human to a red/orange humanoid eight-tailed kitsune, catching his paws against the side of the hotel and steadying against it as if it were a floor. Eight blue wisps flickered around him as he strutted down the side of the hotel casually, motioning for Ikebana to follow him.<br/><br/>"Ohhh...darn it, Brother. I'll...Okay, fine, I'll tag along!"<br/><br/>Mustering her ki, Ikebana conjured what looked like a coptering lotus strapped onto her back. With her eyes shut, she hopped off the balcony, the lotus copter greatly slowing her descent to a crawl.<br/><br/>~<a class="postlink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBR6AlbvL2o">Heavenly Garden - Tekken Tag Tournament 2</a>~
