Of Magic, Tamers And Beasts Of Power

Connecting the Dots

That night as Yukiko slept, she had another dream.

This time she viewed strange looking animals marching.

'Huh? Is something happening?' She wondered.

Then above them was a lion? she guessed but he had a black mane.

'Wait, that's the Mascot of Savanaclaw, the King of the Beasts!' Yukiko realized.

"A Shiny new Era is tiptoeing nearer." He said.

"And where do we feature?" A hyena asked.

"Just listen to teacher. First we will kill Mufasa, and Simba too. Then I will be king!" He declared. "Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again!"

'What?!' Yukiko thought in horror.

The hyenas cheered at this.

"Yeah, good idea! Long live the King!"

"My teeth and ambitions are bared. Be Prepared!" The lion sneered as the dream ended.

'Why did he want to be king so badly, and why did the hyenas agree so quickly? Was their situation that bad?' Yukiko thought.

The next day, Yukiko did her usual routine and even Grim was up early. So she got him to help the ghosts with breakfast before leaving to help Riddle again.

The next day...

"You met a strange guy with horns on his head? What was his name?" Grim asked Yukiko the next day as Luxaray was walking with them.

"He told me to call him whatever I liked, so I settled for Ryu since he reminded me of a dragon." Yukiko said.

"Good idea. Oh, We might run into him if he's a student here. If we do, you better introduce me, too, got it?

I've never seen a guy with horns on his head, yanno!" Grim said.

"Mornin', mornin' Yukiko-chan~" Cater greeted then he saw Luxaray. "Oh, its that lynx again?"

"Yup. Hes actually dad's." Yukiko said as Rotomdex appeared.

'Luxaray, the Gleam Eyes Pokemon. An electric type. It uses its eyes not only to track its prey, but also enemies and keeping track of their young. It's eyes are strong enough to track them even if their hiding behind a solid object.'

"Interesting, that would be useful for us now." Riddle said.

"That's why I brought Luxaray. He should be able to help us with our investagation." Yukiko said.

"By the way, Ace and Deuce aren't with you?" Grim asked Riddle.

"According to Rule #249 of the Queen of Hearts, it's their turn to feed the flamingos while wearing pink clothes, so as not to frighten them." Riddle explaining where they were. Somehow, Yukiko can't picture them in pink clothing." We also just got word, it seems like another person was injured last night." He then said with a frown.

"Wha–?! Already?!" The two Ramshackle residents exclaimed.

"Yeah, the injured student is a 2nd year from Scarabia Dorm. Jamil Viper-kun. I heard that he got injured in the kitchen." Cater explained.

'Oh, they're the dorm with the dark-red and yellow armbands.' Yukiko recalled.

"Breakfast is still on-going so they may still be inside the cafeteria. Let's go check." Riddle suggested.

[LOCATION: Cafeteria]

"Let's see... Jamil-kun is a tanned guy with long hair with braids... Ah, there he is!" Cater pointed out as he spotted them.
