Leo and Shadow watched the docks quietly, the last two items they needed to get was around here. "Okay, so the plan is we split up and go get the items that the other can't get." Leo said as he and Shadow looked at each other. One item that was needed was around the same area where Top Dog hung out often and Shadow could easily get it instead of sneaking on a ship that she was also banned from. Normally, she'd just sneak in, but they recently got facial scanners so Shadow would be caught easily. "Right, meet back her in 20?" Shadow asked, Leo nodded, and both split up to their destination. It didn't take long for Leo's turn to access the ship and scanned him. He stood still and waited for the security system to allow him in. "Leonardo Splinterson." The AI system said before letting him onto the ship. Leo then walked around the ship, taking into account that there was several yokai here. "Okay, this might be a little more difficult than I had hoped." Leo mumbled under his breath but kept walking.

"Usagi Miyamoto." The AI system spoke, causing Leo to freeze and turn, seeing Miyamoto walk onto the boat. He had a frown on his face as he kept his gaze on the ground. Leo yelped as he dashed behind a table, looking up to see Usagi head over to a table far from everyone else. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a paper. Leo sighed and knew this was going to be way harder than he thought, he looked around and saw a person go into the back but locked the door behind him.  You'd think Leo would be able to teleport into the back, but he didn't know what the room looked like. Basically, Leo needs to know what the area looked like before he could teleport into the area. Leo hummed as he looked around before seeing Usagi again, a sever walking up to him. "Afternoon Mr. Miyamoto, your key to the master bedrooms for the back." The server said as he placed a cup of coffee in front of Usagi and some keys. Leo blinked and hummed as he thought of a plan, looking at the back doors and then to Usagi yet again.

Okay, he had a plan, but how is he gonna get those keys? Leo then looked over and saw someone walk into the kitchen, causing him to hum in thought. That might work. Back with Usagi, he was staring at a photo he had grabbed before leaving the Battle Nexus. It was a photo of him and Ophelia when they first arrived at the Battle Nexus and its hotel. Usagi sighed as he looked out, the boat had begun to journey across the wide oceans of the Mystic City. He sighed in annoyance before taking a sip of his coffee. "Excuse me Sir, may I take your order." Someone asked, causing Usagi to look up with a deadpanned expression. Leo stood before Usagi with a nervous grin, dressed as a server with a note pad in his hand. "Y'know I could easily have you kicked off the boat, right?" Usagi said, causing Leo to tense. "Wha- why would you do that? I'm just a humble waiter!" Leo said as he sweated nervously. Usagi blinked bluntly and sighed. "This boat doesn't make food y'know, just coffee." Usagi said and drank his coffee yet again, causing Leo to curse under his breath. "So that probably means they don't have a, hang on." Leo said and quickly grabbed the list yet again.

"A silver Lotus?" Leo asked nervously, Usagi shook his head and turned back to the water. "But this boat's next stop should take you a mansion full of them." Usagi said, confusing Leo a bit. "You can sit with me until then, but I recommend you but those clothes back to avoid catching attention." Usagi said, Leo kept a suspicious eye on Usagi before heading to a bathroom to change out of the clothes. He put them back where he had found them and then went to Usagi's table. Both were silent until a waitress walked over and placed a cup of coffee in front of Leo. "I ordered you some, figured it be a nice thing to do." Usagi said, avoiding eye contact with Leo. Leo looked at the coffee and began to make it how he liked it. It yet again silent before Leo sighed. "Okay, why are you being so nice compared to last time." Leo saked, Usagi shifted his gaze to Leo.

"Says the guy who wanted to take my order without demanding anything or attempting to fight me." Usagi said, causing Leo to chuckle slightly. "Yeah, fair. I was just hoping the Silver Lotus was in the back and you ironically have a key that allows you into the back." Leo said as he pointed to the keys that remained on the table. Usagi saw them and shrugged his shoulders. "You could've asked for them and I would've given them to you." Usagi said, confusing Leo even more. "You're seriously confusing me dude." Leo admitted as Usagi sat back and looked at Leo. "Just because you're helping De Milo, doesn't mean I have to hate you for it. She easily manipulates people into helping her and then leaves them when they need her." Usagi said, causing Leo to frown.

"Even if that's the case, she doesn't seem like hurting Mikey anytime soon." Leo said as he looked at his coffee and proceeded to drink it. "Is she with this Mikey?" Usagi asked and waited for Leo to answer. "Huh? Oh no, my family, friends, Shadow and I got put into this scavenger hunt this for our yearly Lair Games. I got put together with Shadow while Mikey is with my other brother, Donnie." Leo said, Usagi looked at Leo with confusion. "Shadow? Is that how you address De Milo?" Usagi asked, Leo nodded. "Yeah, she doesn't remember her actual name, or where her actual family is or where they are." Leo said, causing Usagi to furrow his brows and look down. "She wasn't lying...." Usagi said, causing Leo to seem surprised. "So you do know her actual name!" Leo said, Usagi looked away but nodded. "I don't know her birthday family nor do I know who Big Mama bought De Milo from." Usagi said, causing Leo to sigh in slight annoyance. "Well, that's a start." Leo said and looked at Usagi with a grin.

"So, would you mind tell me her name because I doubt 'De Milo' is her full name." Leo said, Usagi smirked a bit. "No it's not. But I also don't plan to tell you so easily." Usagi said, causing Leo to sigh. "Alright, what do you want." Leo asked as he rubbed his brow. "Nothing major, just a Silver Lotus for my katana." Usagi said and patted his weapon which was still tied to his side. "You see, I sort of cracked the blade on it and the Silver Lotus has been known to fix anything mystic." Usagi said as Leo nodded, holding his chin in thought. "I simply just need to make a mixture with the flower, pour it over my weapon and it should be fixed. Its mystic abilities won't work for a few minutes, but it'll fixed nonetheless." Usagi said, smiling a bit to see Leo was actually listening to him. "Neat, does that mean it could also work on anything tech related?" Leo asked with a smile.

Usagi hummed as he held his chin in thought. "I suppose if the tech has Mystic Energy inside of it, the flower will work, yes." Usagi answered, Leo sighed in relief. "That's good, super glue isn't up to Donnie's standards because his goggles and battle Shell do break at times." Leo admitted, Usagi seemed impressed by this. "So, why don't you tell me more about your family?" Usagi asked, Leo opened his mouth as he was ready to brag about each of his brothers, dads and friends but stopped and looked at Usagi with an accusing eye. "How do I know I can trust you enough to do that?" Leo asked as he pointed a finger at Usagi which he moved in circular motion. Usagi chuckled a bit at this that caused Leo to pause.

"I suppose that is far, but I really have no intent to hurt you or your family. I just want Shadow away from you because I know she'll hurt your family. Weither she means to or not." Usagi admitted, Leo watched Usagi carefully before humming to himself. "I guess it would make Donnie feel better towards me if I did brag about how freakishly smart, he is. That and we literally have nothing else to do." Leo said, deciding to trust Usagi just this once. They did literally have nothing else to do and it wasn't like Leo was spilling his brother and friends' deepest secrets to Usagi, just some basic things like Mikey enjoys drawing, probably has ADHD and is extremely kind.
