A long, black limousine drove steadily across the road. On the back seats, sat a well-defined, teenage boy. Sebastian wore a suit, with a briefcase lying beside him.

He adjusted his tie, as the limousine drove out of Kyoto, and headed for the outskirts of the city.

"We're almost there, Agent Sebastian." The driver informed him, driving at an even higher speed.

Sebastian replied him with a gentle nod, and gazed outside of his window. He'd specially prepared for this auspicious day. He'd combed his shaggy dark hair backwards neatly, and his skin was very smooth. He pulled out his black shades and put them on with a sigh.

At last, they started to approach a very tall building, which stood out among the short building.

On the outskirts of Kyoto, stood a very tall, and majestic skyscraper. The structure of the building was breathtaking.

Not only was it about a 300 feet tall building, but it also had 98 stories, with every single facade made of anodized aluminium and black glass. Most of the facade being constructed with countless rectangular windows, tinted with bronze. It's rectangular base seemed to be almost 80 feet wide. The building gradually developed a triangular shape as it neared the sky. And finally, a 28 feet rectangular area at the top, with a helicopter on it.

Sebastian walked out of the limousine and closed its doors shut. He strode steadily across the walkway, and finally approached the entrance of the building.

"Kono tatemono wa watashi o odoroka seru koto wa kesshite arimasen. (This building never seizes to amaze me)" He sighed and tapped the door's handle.

Above the transparent, yet indestructible glass door, was carved boldly, the words:

'AGENTS OF LYRAX EXORCISM'

A little hole was created in the heart of the glass door, and a beam of light shot out. It moved thoroughly across Sebastian's whole body, and created a beeping noise as it moved.

A hologram of Sebastian's face appeared in front of the glass door, and an unidentifiable female voice greeted:

"Finger prints processed. D rated, Agent Sebastian. Welcome back."

Sebastian grasped his briefcase tightly, as the glass door slid opened. The interior vision of the building was arguably even more mesmerising than the exterior view.

The building was just too huge, and men and women who wore the same suits as Sebastian just walked about, with briefcases and folded umbrellas.

The ground was very smooth, and so translucent one could undoubtedly see himself through the ground. A huge, hanging, chandelier had been attached to a beautiful medallion on the ceiling. The building was so tall that the ceiling was totally out of sight, but the chandelier managed to droop down to half of the building.

Three curved, beautiful, huge, glass, counters had been placed near the entrance. Several suited men and woman sat behind the counters, tapping seriously on their laptops. They all wore several ear comms and wrist comms, and spoke eagerly into them.

Sebastian straightened up, walked towards the first counter, and rested his elbow on the glass table, with a flirtatious smile.

"D rated, Agent Sebastian." He said to the woman who sat in front of him.

The woman stopped her tapping and glanced over Sebastian's face. She lowered her glasses and sighed.

"ID." She demanded.

"Oh, right!" Sebastian agreed, pulling his identification card out of his breast pocket, clumsily.

He handed it over to the woman, and she grabbed it. She typed for some while, and finally stretched the card towards the laptop's screen.

"You're a little bit late, don't you think?" The woman asked him.

"Uhm. Well . . ."

"So you're the Agent with the joint mission." She noticed "Sebastian Suzuki. Originally an Australian boy, and the adopted child of the widow, Mei Suzuki. When did you start?"

"It's complicated, but last week." Sebastian answered.

"32nd floor." She said, handing the ID card back to Sebastian "Hurry. You're already late."

"R-Right." Alec stammered, grabbing the card.

He walked over to the nearest elevator, and entered as the door closed shut behind him. He pressed on a button, and the elevator immediately levitated.

"Chikara!!!!!" Kora screamed, dropping to the couch with a very, deep sigh.

"It's not my fault that he just fell unconscious, Kora!" Chikara yelled back.

"Okay, I still don't understand what's going on." Andrea said, flouncing about.

"Yeah, me too." Justin said "Kora? Still waiting for the part where everything is explained."

"Seat first." Kora told them, gesturing them to the couch "What I'm gonna say is gonna surprise and scare you. Scare you more."

Justin and Andrea obeyed and sat down. Chikara joined Kora on the couch and sat beside her.

Kora threw the bag of chi spices to the other side of the couch, and sighed again.

"Andrea, remember the night you called to check up on me, during the time that I was still at Russia?" Kora asked her, and she answered with a nod "Well that night when I slept, I'd a revelation. It brought me to Trevor's room, and that was the first time I spoke to Chikara, here."

"Yeah, who's Chikara?" Justin asked her, impatiently "Is he a body possessor or a mind controller?"

"He's a being that lies within your son. A living being that contains almost limitless power." Kora explained "We don't know everything. He doesn't even know how he came to be. All we know is, he lives within Trevor for some reason. He's only able to use Trevor's power when he falls unconscious."

"The tournament." Andrea gasped shortly, exchanging terrified expressions with Justin.

"Yes, like the incident at the tournament." Kora told them "Now you understand why i demanded to speak to Trevor that day."

"That was why you came at dawn!" Justin realised.

"So far, I don't know Chikara's full potential. But it is possible that he's more powerful than you two combined." Kora told them.

"I definitely am." Chikara chuckled, slightly.

"Shut up! Until we figure everything out, don't speak!" Andrea suddenly snapped at him.

"Andrea, chill." Justin told her, and turned to Chikara "Don't mind her. She gets like this when she's stressed."

"What?! That's a lie!" Andrea disagreed.

"You two, focus. You've not even heard the best part." Kora told them "His birth, has something to do with Shida."

"SHIDA!!!!" Andrea and Justin both screamed at once.
