Elliott walked through the automatic doors of the police precinct.

For four years, ever since the death of his father, Elliott had become chief of police. Given the role by the council...yet still denied his title as king.

And although most of his days were, well, boring. Today was interesting...

Four people were caught, supposedly putting up a good fight against two operators, and their squads of Soldats.

Desmond and Ronin were waiting near the interrogation rooms, Desmond still in his armor, while Ronin was in his normal police gear.

"...let's get started." Elliott said, walking past the two.

"Not even a good morning?" Ronin asked teasingly, following.

"Mngh." Elliott grunted.

Elliott walked into the first monitoring room, a one way glass pane allowing Elliott to see the man inside...

White eyes, black hair, missing an arm...and an eye. This other eye shut.

Elliott looked at the man...he seemed familiar...

"We've got all of the stuff we confiscated from him." Desmond commented, grabbing Eliotts attention.

Elliott looked over at the table...staring at all the items.

Two revolvers, a black cowboy hat, a leather jacket...a coin...

"...Oh god its him." Elliott said suddenly, going into the interview room.

"Elliott-?" Desmond asked, but the door was already shut.

"About time one of you came to talk to-" The man began, opening his eye.

"Zero?" Elliott asked.

Zero shot up, slamming his hand on the metal table!

"Elliott! Oh my god!!!" he shouted.

Zero ran over and embraced his old friend, then pulled back.

"Wait...if its you...Am- Am I in Ryoiki!?" Zero asked.

"Y-yeah. You are." Elliott assured.

Zero sat on the desk...holding his head...

"Wait- what planet is this?" He asked.

"Solaris. Specifically, the capital, Adronous. You're in the main police center."

"Police-?" Zero mumbled, looking Elliott up and down.

"...You're a cop!" He shouted!

"Agh- Look. Zero. It's a long story- I'll tell you later- But...what happened?"

Zero sighed...and began his story.

"...After you left me, Brii, and Ski with my parents...Warden and his men came and took me...and Brii and Ski."

"For...weeks. I was tortured, starved, used by Warden...Brii and Ski were killed in front of my eyes!"

"But then Bruce saved me...and we fought Warden-! Saved my parents-!"

Zero kept talking...and then Elliott cut him off.

"Then you tackled Warden into a portal and went missing for six years."

Zero froze, staring at Elliott.

"I've uh...talked to your brother. More than once."

Zero nodded and licked his lips.

"Um...well...I got...taken to this place called Realm, found out that...Ryoiki isn't the only world. There is thousands of worlds..."

"You traveled them...?" Asked Elliott, now intrigued.
