Outside Rena's Apartment - Santa Cruz - California | Night
Isaac looked at Ara and answered her question.
"We don't actually know what it was, so we were going to investigate real quick. People could be either hurt or killed. I promise, we'll be back soon.", Isaac said to Ara.

Banished Library Suddenly HP had a violin and began playing a sad sounding tune.
Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
As the violin music played, John looked at The Higher Power, and despite the fact that John had a helmet on, it was obvious that he was not amused.
After a few seconds, Takoizu stopped hugging John and took a step back as she cleared her throat and regained her composure.
"Now that that's out of the way, do you know where Mom is? I need to talk to her too.", Takoizu said to John.
John was still shocked by this sudden situation, but he was able to talk.
"She's at home. If not, then Ran and Chen are around, maybe somewhere around Mayohiga.", John said to Takoizu as if he was in a trance.
"I already checked the house, but I'll try again.", Takoizu said to John.
Soon after talking, Takoizu fell through a gap and disappeared. After Takoizu disappeared, Patchouli's voice echoed from the floor down below.
"What's taking you so long! Hurry up and get down here, you doofus!"
"Uh, right...", John said to Patchouli as he ran towards the hole.
"Come on Shulk, we gotta go. Higher Power, you can come if you want.", John said to the remaining people in the room.
Yakumo Estate - Mayohiga - Gensokyo | Day
After a second, a gap opened up inside the back yard and Takoizu landed on her feet with a small thud. Takoizu still had her helmet on her magnetic holster, so she was unable to see Jack on her radar, but she could see Eirin in front of her.

Yakumo Estate - Gensokyo The backyard of Yakumo Estate was far larger than the front yard. Fields of grass were laid out for Chen and the stray cats to play in. Trees of different species were growing from the lucious soil.
"I would love to have a soothing garden like this." Eirin closed her eyes and went deep into thought.
As Takoizu looked around the backyard and was amazed by how beautiful the grass looked. It all reminded her of when she used to play around in the cool grass as a child. As her mind began to wander, she was suddenly taken out of her trance by Eirin standing a few feet away with her eyes closed, seemingly enjoying the atmosphere. Perhaps Eirin would know where everyone else was.
"Hello Eirin. Do you know where Ran and Chen are?", Takoizu asked Eirin as she approached.

Yakumo Estate - Gensokyo "Hmm?" Eirin looked behind her to find a blonde woman who looked like Yukari in a black armor similar to John's. "My apologies. I did not see you there. I'm currently waiting for them myself too."
Takoizu didn't really think it was too important to hide her identity now, especially considering that she would have to reveal herself sooner or later, so she decided to tell Eirin the truth.
"Well, you see... I know you because I grew up around you, or at least in my timeline. I'm Takoizu Yakumo, John and Yukari's daughter.", Takoizu explained to Eirin.

Yakumo Estate - Gensokyo "Takoizu... Huh?" Eirin shrugged as if the revelation did not shock her. "I'll make sure that the future me doesn't forget it."
A small breeze blew from the West side as a small dust cloud travelled towards Takoizu and Eirin.
"Hmm? What could that be...?" Eirin fixed her glasses, trying to identify the object causing the dust cloud to form.
It was Cirno and Rumia.
Cirno was a fairy of ice that liked to pick fights and goof around everyday. Her blue dress was always dirty, and her caretaker, Daiyousei has been sick recently, so Rumia, a blonde-haired girl with cute red ribbon, took the job. Unfortunately, Rumia is, regrettably, a little dim-witted herself. Behind Cirno and Rumia chased an angry swarm of wasps.
Takoizu saw the swarm of wasps and quickly put her helmet on so that she wouldn't get stung. After that, Takoizu opened up a gap in front of the wasps and a surge of water gushed out, slamming into the wasps and stopping the chase.
"Are you guys okay?", Takoizu asked Cirno and Rumia.
