"And. . . . Enter."

Stretching his arms, Towa looks at his computer screen and was proud of his work.

He finally reached a conclusion about something that had plagued his mind for so long. His grandfather had told him lots of things that might be fiction, But the look he gave Towa when telling him the stories says otherwise.

'According to grandfather, The Gear Chronicle clan might have affected something that forced him to travel through time. After finding a way back here, He found that Lots of things had changed.'

Glancing at a blank card, he sighed.

'I have to figure out what this meant. . .'

He turns off the computer and takes the blank card.

"Let's give you a test run shall we?"

After changing into a formal attire, He locks the door and finds Haruka waiting outside.

"Haruka?"

Confused, He approached the woman.

"Is there something you need?"

Shaking her head, She opens the door of the car.

"I'm guessing I am needed somewhere?"

Entering the door, He waits for Haruka to enter the car and start driving.

"The Elders have decided to schedule your meeting with them tomorrow, so they asked Lady Mirei to host you for your stay"

"Is that so?"

Checking his phone, He thought for a bit.

"Haruka, there's something I want to confirm."

"If its something I could answer, I shall comply."

Staying silent for a bit, He mustered up the courage.

"Nevermind. Could we go somewhere for the day? I have something to check and test in a lab on our way to Nagoya."

"Understood."

Driving off, Towa stares off through the window. Pondering if his conclusion might have been true. He smirks. after all, If he was correct, he'll be able to understand more about the units and how he could have something called a 'Stride'. This could also clear up his confusions about the origins of his grandfather. 

-_-_-_-_-_-

"May I inquire where we are?"

Walking through a hallway, Haruka followed Towa.

"Japanese branch of my research facility in America. Although this is more of the personal lab."

Entering a room after swiping a card, He enters with Haruka, pulling out the blank card.

"This place may be dark but there's a reason for that."

Before Haruka could question him, He takes out his deck and walks over to a pillar.

"Haruka, I'd like you to walk over to the pillar and place this deck in it."

Handing over a deck to Haruka, She complies and does what she was told. Towa mimics what she did, Allowing something to happen.

"The decks are now being scanned and is being recorded for the system to use for simulation."

After Towa said that, The room lit up.

"Welcome to GIRS. This is something my Grandfather had told me about. hearing this, I wanted to replicate what he had told me. The GIRS System may seem. . . Complicated. But I assure you, It's not for sale and I won't let other people try and steal it."

Grabbing Haruka's interest, A Hologram appeared on Towa's side.

"May I ask what that is?"

Slowly walking over to Towa, Haruka sees him swipe at it and see different places.

"This is a map I concluded about the current Planet cray."

Hearing this, Haruka was flabbergasted.

"I Don't want to see the current planet cray, but the past."

Fiddling with the settings, the scene before her changes into something very beautiful.

Mountains slowly deforming, Oceans being drained. Reverse volcanic eruptions. It was as if Towa was rewinding time.

Sooner or later, Buildings began to emerge from the ground after falling victim to erosion.

"This is it. . . THIS IS IT HARUKA!!"

He fiddles with the panel once more and chooses a continent.

"United Sanctuary has been selected. Confirm?"

Pressing a green button, The map went and zoomed in on 'Keter Sanctuary'.

"That's. . ."

"United sanctuary. Should I teach you about Planet Cray's History?"

Haruka shook her head. She was more interested with how the room changed into a plaza with just a swipe onto the holographic panel.

"This is, or was Ketergia. The capital of United Sanctuary."

Swiping once more, The place turned into a city. Seeing herself float in the air above the city, she falls onto her rear.

"Now, If what I think is correct, I should be able to find something reacting to My units."

A holographic Cardfight table appeared with a face down starter and his deck, as well as a G-Zone and a Ride deck.

Tapping on the deck, 5 Cards appeared and began floating in the air.

"T-This is. . .?!"

"The future is now here Haruka. . . This can probably help people connect better with their units!"

Motioning on his starter, He grinned.

"Stand up, My. . . "

As he flipped it up, a summoning circle appeared behind him.

"VANGUARD!!"

Light formed from the circle. when It died down, Haruka looked in awe and amazement.

"Chrono dran."

He grins.

He started inspecting Chrono Dran but was stopped by his Blank Card.

 "It's here. . ." 

His blank card reacted by glowing, and another Grade 4 Unit appeared in it.
