"Hello, Lord Shacc! I and Dr. Providence made a miraculous discovery. I'd like to share this with the seat of Crabskiff Heaven", Kemono said. 
"Right. Not all seat members are currently present, however, I am available. Recording is possible", I said.

Thus, Dr. Providence and Kemono entered the seat to demonstrate something.
"After studying the Divinations, we found out that miss Kemono's extraordinary abilities are not from Yaiyuiya. Instead, they come from Mente, the usurped Divination of Retrieval. They ensure the retrieval of valuable memories. They were usurped by Yaiyuiya, however, miss Kemono was blessed by them as well", Dr. Providence said.
"Right! Thus, we'd like to demonstrate this and have someone two individuals completely dive into the confined past!", Kemono said. "Remember the almost-civil war between the Seat and the Vurafou after Data Officer Luna was hired? We can find ideas about the Luwigian Invasion if we relive that again. Please get someone from the opposing force back then, so we can run this operation".
I nodded. 
"I will recruit mister Lemo for this job", I said. 
A few minutes later, Lemo arrived. 
"Hello there, Lord Shacc. What can I do today?", Lemo said. 

"We'd like you to check out this technique", Kemono said. "Both of you will take a deep dive into the confined past now, please close your eyes".

After those words were said, when I woke up, I woke up in the Sharkpollo Hotel. However, I was unable to move. I was a ghost. 
"I can't feel my limbs! Can I leave?", Lemo said. 
"It's gonna take at least ten minutes to re-awaken you", Kemono said. "Follow my instructions, you are now a spectator spectating the past. This is year 2032".
I wasn't even able to nod, but I could fly at least. Kemono instructed us to fly to the Seat Of Crabskiff Heaven, which was in the heat of discussion.

"Lord Shacc! Dude, this Luna switched every single module and software in the Vurafou's cyber space! She hacked the Brawler game system and now I can't even earn stars anymore because she's already on top! Don't give her access to data!", The past Lemo said.
"Such things are small and irrelevant. I'll request Luna to make her name anonymous and no one will notice. The Vurafou's cyber space is completely intact. It will reset every week for a refresh, so it wouldn't make a difference", the past me said.
"I can't take it anymore! Why is she even part of the seat? You refused my offer even though I could help Sharjasania more", a young man, named Kage said. "And this girl is only screwing everything up!"
"I see that you are all very confused. Though, I unfortunately have to say that I will not fire Luna from her current role", the past me said.
That man right there was Kage. An elegant businessman with expertise in trading data. The other one was Lemo, a professional software developer and also a strong combatant. Both were full of potential for a possible Seat membership, however, I was unaware why I refused to give them this membership. 

We then were instructed to follow the past Lemo and Kage.
"I can't believe it, this Lord Shacc. He hires some orphan looking girl for something she can't do at all, but we, fine businessmen can't get a place anywhere!", Kage complained.
"It's really bad man. But we can't do anything about it", Lemo said. "The young boy won't change now. Let him do what he wants".
"I'll do whatever it takes to get him back on the right track", Kage said in a fierce tone. "Whatever... it... takes".

We then went back to the Seat Of Crabskiff Heaven, which was under construction on a big hill. 
"I didn't do anything wrong", Data Officer Luna claimed. "They are just jealous of me".
"You shouldn't worry about your position, miss Luna", I said. "They'll neutralise later".

Unfortunately, this wasn't the case.
We were instructed followed Kage, who was departing to space. 
"I need to find the Sailor", Kage said. "I have an idea".
He grinned evilly.
"We'll unify Sharjasania the right way. Believe me, Lord Shacc, you're gonna regret that", he mumbled.
He hijacked an Astral Ferry and changed its course to an unknown planet, while also dropping off all the passengers on a space rock, gradually leaving them to die.
Eventually, he arrived at an unknown water planet, which was somewhere written to be known as Karanlik. It was grim and dark, and even I don't know how he knew about this planet.
"I summon the Sailor!", Kage said. 
A large ghoul showed up, it being partially boat with a human torso and a sailor's hat.
"What do you want", The Sailor said.
"I am here for the ALT", Kage said. 
"No", The Sailor replied. 
Kage showed The Sailor some strangely shimmering pieces of metal, which The Sailor absorbed. 
"Got it", The Sailor said. 
He left behind a glowing orb. He took it with him back to Sharjasania. He then ventured to the Vurafou department. While sneaking through the loud noises of Military Officer Victorinous and Lemo arguing about something, he found his way to the Skuarite creation furnace.

He typed a few things in, then let the furnace do its thing. 
"My plan will succeed", Kage said. 
He laughed. 
Once the Skuarite, a male was completed, Kage grabbed the orb that was supposed to be named ALT. 
"Awaken, Lokai", Kage said.
The Skuarite opened its eyes, with immense power coming from it. 
"I have awakened, master", the Skuarite, named Lokai said.
He bowed down. 
"Perfect. Synchronized and ready to go", Kage said.
The Skuarite had a mechanised armour, and Kage had a mechanised helmet and pad that he could use to synchronise his body with Lokai.
He then departed from the Astral Ferry once again, this time residing in it while it was stagnant in space.

From that moment on, we were following the past Lemo's point of view.
While he was arguing with Military Officer Victorinous about the Vurafou, Lokai came in and simply grabbed him, then ran away and hid somewhere far away. 
"Listen up, Lemo, we can get them back now", Lokai said. 
"Why, you mean fighting?", Lemo asked. "Sharjasania's still constructing, I don't think destroying it is a good idea though. No, don't get me wrong, I find it insanely unfair, but I don't think we should resort to combat".
Lokai put Lemo there, somewhere in Brickside District, and then ran away with insane speed. 
"I remember this", the present Lemo said. "Weirdo".
Lokai then proceeded to race to the Seat Of Crabskiff Heaven and straight up snatched Luna from the ground, and smote her out of the window.
"What the-", Intelligence Officer Tyrkys said upon seeing one of his colleagues being thrown through a window. "You're under arrest, man with a bandanna and iron gloves".
"You will all pay", Lokai, who has a double voice said.
"Stop!", the past me said. "Your heinous acts will stop here now!"
Lokai started laughing. 
"Me, heinous? But you trust that slightly Corrupted... animal. How pathetic of you", Lokai said.
"You're already done for". 
A few mini icicle helicopters surrounded the Seat. 
"I'm sorry, Lord Shacc. This is for your own good. Wake up", Lemo said. 

The past then stopped. There was no resumption. 
"What was this?", I asked upon waking up. 
"It's the civil war from different viewpoints. I hope you learned a lot from this experience", Dr. Providence said. 
"After the icicile helicopters attacked the Seat, Lokai was succesfully disarmed, leading to him becoming normal, while the Seat became more isolated. Before the exile of Luna, she was still part of the seat. Lemo eventually went back to Daifuku Island to be the initial owner of Daifuku Inc until Shuno took it over. Kage, who had a shared memory with Lokai, disappeared in space and never came back again", Kemono said. "Pretty useful, right? There's a lot to research".
I nodded. 
"I'm glad that this almost-civil war is over", I said. "If Kage had an army like Luna, the Seat would have a problem, possibly leading to a mass planet destruction like on Terra".
Everyone nodded.
"We should all join forces to avoid instability and civil wars in Sharjasania. We stand united against attackers, together we'll protect our homes", I said. 
"Perhaps, one day we'll see mr Kage back, and we can apologise to him for not believing his words about Luna's iniquity", Kemono said.
