Four years later

In the main city of Utopia, which was also known as Tech city.

"Where did he go?" A man wearing a black long coat asked as he pressed a button in his ear. It was a Bluetooth device used for communication but it was far more advanced. This guy was holding a gun in his other hand. It was dark and raining heavily.

"I don't know Lark. I can't track him." replied a guy who was sitting in his office and was trying to track someone

"No worries. I found him." said Lark as he saw someone ran past him.
He started running after him.

He went into a dark alley, jumped over a wall and then started climbing the stairs to go on to the roof.
Lark followed after him while shouting, "Stop right there or else I'll shoot."

"Don't shoot him Lark, we need him alive." The guy sitting in his office said

"I know, idiot. I was bluffing." Lark replied

The guy whom Lark was following suddenly stopped on the roof and turned around to face Lark.
Lark was pointing his gun at him.
"You are under arrest for stealing the trophy." He said

The guy dropped the trophy from his hands and it fell down from the roof.
"This is just trash." He said

"Why? What did you do that for? If you didn't need it, why steal it?" Lark asked as he was surprised

"Sacrifices must be made for the greater good." The guy replied as he gave a creepy smile. Before Lark could reach him, he jumped from the roof, possibly falling to his death.

"Zed, are you there?" Lark asked as he pressed the button in his ear. Just then he heard explosions and bomb blasts coming from where the competition was being held.

"Zed, tell me what's going on?" Lark asked

"Lark, you have to see this. This guy was only a decoy. They weren't after the trophy. They were after Councillor Sally. Even with the security, we couldn't find the bombs. They all just exploded. People are safe. But the guards and the councillor are dead. And that's not all. In the East, Councillor Derek was also killed a few minutes ago. Hold on, I'm sending you the video right now." Zed replied

Lark pressed the button in his ear once again, and a video appeared before his eyes. Councillor Derek was giving a speech at a fundraising party. Suddenly a guy came up and attacked him. His personal body guards tried to stop the guy. But he was strong. He kicked one of the guy in his stomach and then did a back flip while twisting his head, killing him as a result. He then kicked the other guard on his face and elbowed his back and threw him at the other guards. Then he dodged the rest of the guards, got on top of the councillor and cracked his neck. Killing him on the spot. He then took a gun from one of the guards and killed himself. The video ended.

Lark watched all of this in horror.
'Just what the hell is going on here?' He thought.

"You have a message from your sister. There's an emergency meeting going to be held in half an hour at the main hall. She wants you to be there." Zed said

"Got it." Lark replied

At the main hall

"Listen here, this is madness. Two of our fellow people were killed. We must do something." said one of the councillor as Lark entered the room.

Everyone was so engrossed in their arguing that they didn't notice him, except his sister, who nodded at him when she saw him.

"That guy was from Euphoria. We have evidence." This time it was a woman who spoke

"Then this means it's an attack from Euphoria?" Someone asked

"I don't think so. I trust King Ethan. He would never do something like this." said the King of Utopia. His name was Alvis.

"Then this all be some kind of a scheme." someone said

"If I may, my king. The guy I was chasing was also part of this group and he was from Utopia. He knew all of this would happen and he was there just for a distraction." Lark said

"If that is the case, then I assume that there is going to be some kind of a joint rebellion against both Euphoria and Utopia. Maybe it's those people who weren't happy with the portals being opened." Lark's sister said

"That does seem to be true." King Alvis said

"Then what do we do?" Someone asked

"Okay then, we are going to join with Euphoria and fight against it together. I believe that they are first planning to revolt against Utopia because Utopia is not a fighting country. Let's be honest. We don't have enough armed forces. Even our secret forces consists of two-man teams. That is also the reason Utopia has so many crime scenes. We need to fix all of this. We need their help. Melancholians are the weakest of us all. They don't have as much as strength as we do. That's why Euphorians are like a balance between both of us. They are the only ones who can help us. I thereby announce a joint collaboration with them. Lark, you and your underling will be in charge of this. I need you to solve this case with them." The king said as the rest of them nodded in agreement

"How many forces should they send?" Lark asked

"I heard that each of their squad consists five to six people. Since we want this mission to be a top-secret, just one squad would be enough. I will meet with King Ethan to discuss this matter further." The king replied

"Got it." Lark replied
