It was another normal day when someone arrived at the airport. Leos was waiting for one of his most treasured people, his daughter Linnet was going to arrive and attend Lycée High as a first-year student. She was returning after being in the UK for 10 months. Ah, there she is!

"Welcome Home my daughter, I see your flight went well." Said the president of Omega Corp. with a smile to his 14 years old daughter.

"It could have been better if the flight wasn't surrounded by incompetent people." Said the long twin drill haired girl annoyed of her flight.

"Now, Now Linnet. Everyone makes mistakes even me." The blonde-haired girl rose an eyebrow at that. Since she was a child she has never seen her dad made a single mistake.

"When did that happen? Asked the blonde girl.

"This isn't the place to talk about it anyway shall we get going?"

"Might as well is been a long time since I haven't seen my brother and Emuna. I heard she competed in the representation tournament but lost to a pink-haired girl. Hmm, what was her name? Oh yeah, Aeris Russo!"

"It is very true. It was a hard-fought match too."

"I see. Let's go daddy the sooner we get out of here the better I want to not see any more incompetent people." Leos sighed at her telling him this. His son was a tad bit arrogant, thou, he can let that slide since he not only was a 3 times Omega Singles World Champion but he also helped during the Pentagon Of Manipulation Incident. His daughter though thinks that if the people can't do their jobs perfectly and do the little of mistakes...then she labels them as incompetent and shouldn't be working at all.

"Right." I guess he can't blame himself for his son's traits, he was a bit arrogant back then. However, her daughter's traits were 100% his ex-wife's. Despite that, he loves his daughter just as much as he did his wife. If only life wasn't very...

"Daddy?"

"Sorry I was remembering something let's go." Linnet wanted to know what he meant but shrugged off before they both get in the limo. She cannot wait to see her childhood friend again.

Meanwhile, it was Saturday and Team Omega was at the Pizza Palace for a special occasion.

"Man I love the all you can eat Saturday." The brown-haired shouted as he chowed down a slice of his combination pizza.

"With the way you eat it would surprise me if there will be anything else after today," Alice told the brown-haired boy. After a back and forward argument between daughter and mother and a little peace treaty from her father, Ayane was convinced to allow her own daughter to go outside and spend time with her friends. However, there was one condition...

"Still, glad to see that you can go out. Although..." Aeris said before looking beside Alice.

"I know." The red-haired sighed as she looks to her right. Jessenia was standing there being observant. The condition for her "freedom" was that Jessenia will come to any event that the red-haired and her friends were involved with.

"Lady Alice I am very concern about your choice of..."

"ABABADA! No, need for it!" Alice said while blushing. The BADA! Sound confused everyone and made them wonder what was the thing that the maid was going to say that made Alice blush in embarrassment.

"*Gulp* Oh yeah, You girls can watch us play against Malian."

"Malian?" Aeris and her group said in confusion except for Genre who simply looked at the boy. She was probably hearing some music and barely got a word from the brown-haired boy so she turned down the volume to hear what he was about to say.

"Yeah she was a friend of ours, she actually graduated last year and is now in college. Not only she is a great dancer but she really is good at Omega."

"Thou, she seems to like the catchphrase from the movie "Into the Zone"." Frederick pointed out.

"Into the Zone...Hmm, Lady Alice has that movie. She seemed to like it a lot back in middle school."

"I watched too with Yuma, Adel, and Genre since Genre liked the techno music that was in the movie. We watched it because it had a good background story." Aeris said.

"The beats...they were amazing." Genre said taking her headphones out. The pink-haired girl could hear alternative rock music from them.

"I'll say!" Speaking of the devil there she was.

"Hey, Malian!" The brown-haired boy said very charismatically to her. The long blonde-haired, dark blue eyes girl just giggled at his excitement.

"It's nice to see you too Richard Kurosagi." Said Malian with a smile.

"Her Rhythm...is very upbeat." Genre mentioned.

"Richard mentioned that you graduated from Lycée High last year," Said Aeris.

"He also mentioned that you're a good dancer." Yuma pointed out.

"Yeah, I am still learning at Paris Marais Dance School," Malian told Yuma in response.

"Care to show us some moves," Frederick stated before Alice pulled on his ear.

"Come on Romeo, this dance floor isn't big enough for you." Malian smiles before laughing.

"Anyway, we're going in a minute so we might as well say good luck to each other, right?" Richard said to the long blonde-haired girl who nodded.

"Yes."

"Great, but first..." Richard said before shouting... "Hey, Pinher! Five Floors Sunday!"

"You got my boy, Hey! Five Floors to table #4!" Pinher said to his employees in the back.

"Sunday..." Genre said with her eyes twinkling.

The limo has arrived at the Omega Arcade Station.

"I forgot to ask daddy, who won this year's representation tournament?"

"Oh! It is a team that has last year's Omega Singles World Tournament." That made the drill haired girl lose interest quickly.

"Oh...him. So he beat the team that defeated my brother. I guess I was excited just for nothing."

"Now that's not very nice Linnet. Kurosagi is a very skilled player and I cannot wait what his team can do in November." Leos informed his daughter.

"Probably he will be incompetent along with his teammates." Leos frowned at her. She was being stubborn.

"You haven't changed your way of addressing people, Linnet." Said the voice of Emuna Chariot who today had a new doll this one with green hair, eyes, and dressed in a green lolita Gothic dress. It also wore black mascara between her eyes. She was accompanied by her butler too.

"Emuna!!" Said Linnet very happy before she goes to hug her best friend. Noticing the owner of the Coffin Of The Soulless handed the doll over to Irogan before she was embraced by her best friend.

"It has been long, has it?"

"Good Afternoon, Mister Kishima." Irogan greeted the president.

"Ah, Irogan. Good afternoon." Responded to the black-haired president.

"I heard you participated in the tournament."

"Yes, I was going inside, care to join?"

"Sure, I want to tell you how my staying in the UK went." The drill haired girl told the white-haired emotionless girl.

"That will be delightful." Said the girl before they all went in.

Team Omega is now inside the Training Field.

"Hey, guys where are you?" Richard asked his friends as he landed somewhere far from them.

"I am close to the building north. Alice?" Frederick responded.

"I'm inside the building didn't know there was a lot of equipment inside...well more than I anticipated," Alice said as she sees a bunch of bench press and boxing sacks if she knows any better she feels like she is on one of those military training fields that Frederick said his dad was on.

"OK. Just be careful then, I see some people coming to your direction." The brown-haired teen informed his teammates.

"Got it!"

"Now, whoa!" Richard dodges some glass shards that went his way. "A sniper." The brown-haired boy prepares himself to fight.

()

Meanwhile, very far away from the field, some people were being sucked out inside of a whirlpool. Said whirlpool expanded before it exploded.

"Who else wants to step into my zone?"

"Team Laxer's scouter has been defeated. Team Harmony's powerhouse has been defeated. Team Lion's Core has been defeated, Team Lion has been eliminated." The M.C. Said.

"You'll pay for that!" A boy said charging at Malian who using her dance moves easily avoided every attack, annoying her opponent. The blonde teen jumps out of the way and threw a disk. The boy knowing what the disks do now step out of the way, before running to a distance where the whirlpool wouldn't get him.

"This is very fun! Hmm, I wonder if they will find me?" Malian asked herself wondering if they were just fighting other people before Team Omega goes after her. Last time they fought she was beaten by her own disk by the brown-haired boy. He was pretty smart too, not too many could see the weak point of her disks not activating if they don't land. But, Richard found it in only a few minutes. So, she has to change strategies against him. As for the others, they will not be surprised once again by her attacks.

Outside Omega in his private room inside the Omega Arcade Station, Harry Kishima was observing this battle royal. In two days he will be on Bordeaux meaning that he will not be able to watch his rival for at least a week...Not like he cares about it anyway.

"Master Kishima, You have visitors."

"Visitors?" Who will come here? Unless... "Is it father?"

"Yes."

"I see." He still has a lot of questions to ask his old man. One of the most important ones was the whole legendary piece. Ever since that incident, he has been wondering why did his dad hide the fact that he had the legendary piece of their branch.

"There is also someone else..."

"Someone else?" Who could possibly...

"Brother!" That voice...!

"Linnet!" There she is with her drill hair, his little sister, and his dad. They weren't the only ones that were visiting Emuna and Irogan were here too.

"Hello, Harry Kishima," Emuna told him with a smile. With her eyes devoid of any emotion he couldn't tell if it was an actual smile or just a force one! He'll go with the first choice.

"Hello, Emuna."

"Brother, what are you watching?" Linnet looks curiously at the big screen.

"I need to entertain myself before I go to Bordeaux to participate in the Omega Singles Representation Tournament." He told his sister.

"Ah, yes! I am sure you will win that one. With Richard Kurosagi not being able to participate, it seems that you will have your fifth Representation Tittle. You'll make history too as the first player to ever archive this feat." Leos told his son.

"Humph, yeah. My only obstacle is Nigel but I am sure that I will be able to defeat him."

"Nigel, he was your rival before Kurosagi arrived, didn't he?"

"Yes, father." Linnet was getting annoyed about hearing the name Kurosagi.

"Kurosagi this, Kurosagi that. Can we please not talk about such incompetent people?"

"Linnet," Leos said with a frown.

"Hmm, actually Linnet how was studying in the U.K. like?" Emuna asked changing the subject.

"Oh, it was great! Although, I wish you could have been there." Linnet told the white-haired small girl.

"Hmm, I cannot leave my mansion unattended." Mentioned Emuna to her drill haired friend. While the two friends chat, Harry and Leos decide to have a father and son conversation.

"So, I imagine that there are a few questions you wanted to ask me?" Leos told his son.

"You knew?"

"I am your father Harry, nothing escapes me, especially if it involves the legendary pieces." The president told his son with confidence.

"..." Seeing his son silent the black-haired adult puts a hand on his shoulder.

"Look I know you must be concerned not only for your sister right now but for the other competitors that are going to participate in the Omega Singles Representation Tournament in Bordeaux. But, I can assure you no black hat hackers will ruin the tournament nor hurt my two precious things...I have lost already someone."

"Darcell's sister...Layla Lahaska."

"Yes, my assistant was very special to me, special to everyone in Omega Corp. It is because of her that all of you can enjoy the game the way that you're enjoying today. It is why we try day in and day out to keep black hat hackers from invading our game."

"But Lahaska was able to get inside the system father..."

"Yes, but Lahaska is special in her very own way she was the owner of the Pentagon Of Manipulation the second most dangerous piece. As you saw the pieces itself have a mind of its own. My Hexagon of Fate is no exception and even Team Omega's Alice Hishikawa and Richard Kurosagi legendary pieces The Ragging Sphere and The Diamond Dragonite have a mind of its own."

"I assume Miss Emuna's Bracelet is also a legendary piece."

"Ah, yes the Coffin Of The Soulless. It allows the owner to talk to inanimate objects and when is awoken, the environment." Explained the president to his son.

"No wonder she always talks to her doll, I thought she was plain weird." Said the black-haired teen.

"That's not nice to say, but yes I can see your point of view."

"Daddy."

"We'll keep discussing this once you return," Leos said to his son leaving the conversation at that. At least he is getting somewhere little by little. But, his father is right he needs to concentrate on this tournament he will not lose to anyone else...until he fights and defeats Richard Kurosagi.

Malian has been very careful in placing her disks and attacking the brown-haired teen with her light knife. It took Richard by surprise when the blonde dancer revealed that she has a secondary weapon but adjusted and blocked most of her attacks the ones he couldn't he evaded them.

"This is really fun!" Richard said as he tries to slash Malian who blocks with her knife.

"I'll say! But I think I should end this quick. Zone Wave!" Richard blocks the attack only to realize that his Kris Dagger became shorter.

"Huh?!" He then dodged the knife this time. He wonders if the knife glowing had anything to do with how his dagger was affected. ('I better think of an alternate way to bypass this. Not only I have to worry about her Zone Disks but now this Zone Wave?') Richard using his scouter speed keep his distance away from Malian.

"You're not running away from me this time Richard! Core Shift: Scout!" Malian appearance changed a bit. From a white ballet attire to a daft punk-like suit without the helmet. She no longer had her disks but she had a silver ring surrounding her body. She kept her knife too so she only changed her primary weapon. The brown-haired boy tries to avoid every attack that the blonde-haired teen did while being as much in an offensive pressure point as possible while keeping a good defensive position.

"Not good." The brown-haired teen tries to find a way to defeat his opponent without touching the light blade.

On the other side of the training field, fireballs and arrows were being thrown as Frederick and another teen dressed in a black shirt, blue pants and black boots with a red glowing bracelet dodged their very own attacks.

"Is rare to battle Magicals, then again it is a new class so..." The black-haired boy said to himself before dodging and unloading his arrow. He was running out of the normal ones too, there were exactly 5 of them left on his quiver that's including the one he has in his bow and then the 3 special ones so that makes it 8. Luis, on the other hand, had plenty of Capacité D'Alimentation left so if he is able to outlast the remaining arrows this will be his victory. On the other hand, Frederick was thinking about how to preserve his arrows and make sure to surprise his opponent with one of his special arrows. The teen sidestepped to his left to dodge a fireball and saved his arrow until he finds out the right time to release it. Him having the arrow on his bow was working to keep his opponent in a semi-defensive position as one mistake can be the difference between the black-haired teen's defeat or his victory.

"Take this!" His opponent threw a fire attack that formed into a snake.

"Whoa!" Frederick dodges his attack and rolled out of the way of the next attack. Hmm, there was an opening right there during that surprise attack by him. He might be able to defeat him if he exploits this opening.

"Alright time to finish this." Frederick agreed with his opponent's statement and now that he knows how to defeat him he will use the weakness that he discovered. As soon as the flaming snake appeared he unload his blue arrow. Dodging twice the snake he prepare himself for that opening. There it was, he needs to strike quickly before it closes. Frederick releases his blue arrow which bypasses the small hole on the snake and in the defense hits his mark: The chest of his opponent.

"Well, it was nice fighting with you Luis." The black-haired boy told his opponent before this one freeze. He unloads another arrow and shoots it before it shatters his opponent and is replaced by fireflies indicating his defeat.

"Team Zone's Sniper has been defeated." He heard the M.C. say.

"Well, it's time to go find the others. They might need my help." With that, the black-haired teen runs to the west.

Alice was against a beefy male with a huge chain. On the chain there was a spike ball made of crystal and from the way it held it's own against Alice's Pole, she can assume is a very strong one.

"He has to be a powerhouse, well..." The red-haired dark-skinned girl looks around to find some sort of advantage in order to defeat what she now knows is Malian's powerhouse.

"I'm still surprised that you are a powerhouse from your physical body I would assume you would be a supporter or even a magical."

"Well, looks can be deceiving," Alice told her opponent before she slams her pole making the earth in front of her create three chunks of stone before she took a batting position and bat them toward her opponent. Her opponent dodges two before getting hit by the third one,

"Huh? Maybe I should join the softball club after all." Alice blocks the incoming spike ball with her pole.

"Not bad. But not good enough!" The powerhouse said backing the red-haired girl who has to stop herself from getting farther by planting her feet on the ground creating a road of dirt in the process. The man with his dark brown eyes looks toward the emerald eyes of Alice with intensifying flames before he goes after her.

"Extend!" Alice released the chain hidden from her pole. The powerhouse jumps away from the incoming top half of the pole. "Gotcha!" Alice with nowhere to go for her opponent took this opportunity to snare him.

"What?!"

"Haaa!" With a primal scream, the cute dark skinned girl slams her opponent as hard as she could creating a big hole due to the impact and the heaviness of her opponent's weight. To her surprise, the opponent jumped out of the hole covered in dirt. However, she seems at least leave some bruises and dirt on his clothes, so that's a win...sort of...

"Hmm, it seems that I should stop holding back. Remember this, Ben was the one who defeated you."

"Ben. I will remember...the name of the opponent that I just beat!" The two charge at each other. Each blow stronger than the other. A near miss resulted in a hard hit on Alice who landed on her butt before she gasped and dodged the spike ball. Alice released her chain and learning from last time Ben sidestepped this time before dodging the chain grab.

"You're finished, girl!"

"Not quite. Retract!" The top pole returned before hitting Ben. Alice using her free hand corked before delivering a hard punch to the face of her opponent before she combo it with a hit with her pole slamming her powerhouse opponent to the ground and this time for good.

"Team Zone's Powerhouse has been defeated."

"Phew, that was close." She winced. "Okay, adrenaline's gone now the pain is replacing it. Ow!"

"Alice you there?"

"Loud and clear, Ow."

"Sounds like you had it rough there."

"You don't know the half of it, I assume that you defeated your opponent?"

"Yes, right now I am heading west, where Richard and Malian are fighting."

"Okay, I will be there, after I ease this pain away." with that their communication ended. "Now, time to walk," Alice said holding her left side before gingerly walking to the west.

The battle of Team Omega and Team Zone's core seems to be on their last wings.

"I think we should wrap this up. If I don't I will definitely lose considering that I have lost my teammates." Malian pointed out.

"Well, this was still fun either way." The brown-haired boy said. Hmm, he wonders if...

"Here I come Kurosagi!" Malian said using her scout speed. Richard has not used his core shift not even once so this might be a good opportunity and since his opponent shifted into a scout.

"Core Shift: Wall!" Richard's Kris Dagger changed along with the brown-haired's outfit. The new outfit consisted of an Iron armor that was fit for him and his new weapon was a huge shield. This one was shaped like a giant Chinese fan-made of steel.

"Eh? Wah!" Malian tries to stop but bounced off the fan and landed on her butt. "Owie." she tries to get up but has to shield herself from the strong wind emitted from the leader of Team Omega's fan shield who was swinging it left and right in a slow but effective way.

"Hey, this is pretty neat!" The boy said excitedly to see this form. He wonders what he will do if he was a Magical or a Sniper or even a supporter! Now he wants to find out! However, his celebration was cut short when Malian stood her ground despite the strong winds and threw one of her disks. "Okay, not...GOOOD!" Richard enters the circle before it explodes. Malian cough by the dust of the explosion. As the dust settles she gasps as she saw that there was a steel shell in the middle before it transforms back into the fan and out of it came the brown-haired boy.

"Phew, that was close, well time to end this!" Richard swung the fan as hard as he could before a big gust of wind appeared. The wind was so strong that even with her feet strongly in the ground Malian was blown away before she enters a vortex of her own this one curtsey of Richard's formed tornado.

"Whoa!"

"Frederick look is Malian!" Frederick looks to see Malian on the tornado spinning.

"Think you can shoot her down buddy?" Richard asked.

"Rick? Wait you did that?!"

"Yeah turns out my Wall form is a tornado creator...or is it a Fanado?"

"If it stops you from using bad puns."

"Hey!" Frederick lines a shoot with one of his arrows...He thinks for a bit to perfect his shot and then let it go, in the end, it hit its mark, and Malian was eliminated.

"Team Zone's Core has been defeated, Team Zone is eliminated. Final Results: Team Omega Wins!" The MC said before they got sent back to the real world.

"That was really fun!" Said the brown-haired boy charismatically after a fun match.

"It was! I cannot wait to see you all on the Omega Team World Tournament!"

"Thanks, Malian!"

"Excellent job, Lady Alice."

"Oh, er it was nothing that's what a powerhouse do!" Alice replied to Jessenia

"It was indeed a good match Richard Kurosagi." Both teams look to see President Kishima, Harry, Emuna, Irogan, and a new girl they haven't seen before.

"President!" Malian said.

"Emuna!" Alice greeted the emotionless girl.

"Is been a long time, has it? Alice." responded the white-haired girl with her doll in her arms.

"So...this is Team Omega." The new girl said before looking at the brown-haired boy. "Humph, as I expected...such incompetence can be seen from a mile away."

"Excuse me?" Aeris rose an eyebrow. Jessenia was going to reply back to the one who insulted the daughter of the CEO of Hishikawa's Enterprise but said daughter stopped her. One fight was enough as it is today.

"I apologize for my daughter rudeness." That got everyone's attention.

"DAUGHTER?!"

"Wait, Harry, you have a sister? Since when?!" Richard asked.

"Since the year of none of your business!" Leos sighed, well they're rivals so he will let it go.

"In any case, My son would be on the Omega Singles Tournament in Bordeaux and my daughter will be starting to study here next semester. Miss Emuna and my daughter will be together for a couple of weeks and I assume you were planning to recruit her?"

"Emuna don't tell me you will join a team led by a Dog!"

"Dog!?" Richard became irritated by the drill-haired girl's comment. She definitely is the black-haired boy's sister.

"Believe it or not Linnet they have a lot of potentials, especially Richard Kurosagi." Stated the white-haired girl. Linnet just scoffed at that.

"Potential for him to be a dog."

"I am not a dog!"

"Humph!"

"Anyway, Team Omega I also had something important to talk to you about, let see can all of you meet me this Friday at 3:00 P.M in my office?" Asked Leos. The group of two boys and five girls started thinking, was this something to do with the pieces?

"Er, sure."

"Splendid, I would invite you too, Miss Emuna but you and my daughter wanted to have some time to catch up...?"

"Yes. We can have a talk the next day, that is of course if you aren't busy."

"Depends. Anyway, let's go, kids. I have to finish working on some maintenance," The president told to his children.

"Yes, daddy. I'll see you Friday Emuna, see you never Dog."

"HEY!" With that, they left.

"Ignore her," Aeris told the brown-haired boy.

"Yeah, the important thing is that we are going to talk with President Leos Friday," Frederick said.

"Wonder what he wants?" Alice asked them.

"Legendary pieces." Said Genre to the group.

"Could be, but something tells me that is more than that."

Somewhere in the Marianas Trench, Mol, Min and Grew were inside a small submarine built to go inside the nicknamed "Bottom of the Earth".

"How much longer until we reach the pearl." Asked Mol somewhat impatiently.

"We're close Mol be patient." Answered Grew.

"Yes, so stop being a knucklehead and be quiet. You look better with your mouth shut." The beautiful Min told her buffed teammate who took that comment as an insult.

"What did you say you Wench?!" The argument was interrupted by the beeping sound of the sonar.

"Seems we found something big. Min can you use your ability to make the submarine invisible?" Asked the bespectacled male.

"Yes, but we should hurry then if I am using my ability otherwise..."

"Don't worry it won't be long is just to bypass the threat, we're really close." Grew tapped the sonar indicating that a small dot was beside the huge dot. With this mission almost completed it just a matter of waiting for their leader and Kula retrieving the other pearl. When that happens they will find out how to break the curse...the curse known as the M.I.S.T.
