i met uri and yamamoto's animals back in prismatica, they had them there
but uri and i were buddies
i can tell how happy he made gokudera too. he used to take pictures of him all the time on his phone. gokudera loves animals.

[ Zuko does not, but loves that Gokudera does. It's always impressed him as a sign of how good a person the bomber is. The show of a kind heart that a poor boy off the streets is still taking care to feed stray cats just because they're hungry. Zuko would never. But hearing Gokudera talk about cats makes him reconsider that instinct. ]

we'd have to ask around more about how to regain pets from home but i met a guy who said he did it, i just didn't think about uri until later
might cheer gokudera up, all things considered. think we could figure out how to send for him.......??? can it work like that, dying will flames and all?

[ He doesn't know how much Gokudera has told Tsuna of his recent updates, but he imagines most of it, and if not, it's an innocent enough thing to want to cheer their friend up normally, keeping it vague. Not like Gokudera is a shining image of cheer in the first place, after all. Couldn't hurt to try. ]

That surprises me, considering how Uri usually is.
You must have a way with animals to.

[Knowing Uri's usual attitude anyway. He was pretty convinced the box weapon didn't like anyone.]

But yeah, we should try to get Uri, even if we just get as far as asking.
Although, that part I don't know.
We don't seem to be able to use our flames here. But maybe something with the magic can make it work?
I don't have a box weapon so I haven't tried it here.

[He might try asking Yamamoto when he gets a chance.]

why is uri usually mean or something??
he crawled on my head the first time i met gokudera.....

[ Zuko wouldn't disbelieve it if Gokudera had a mean cat that just happened to like Zuko, somehow. But Uri has always been friendly to him; he'd never guess it. He doesn't consider himself an animal person at all, but animals sure seem to, the more he gets to hang around them. He has no idea how to react and just... lets them do whatever they want... which they probably like even more. Ever got kissed by a sky bison? It's a full-body experience. ]

yeah maybe there's a way to suspend uri's form or something i dont know
we better ask around
uri would definitely cheer gokudera up

I wouldn't call it mean...more like troublesome.
He seemed to like everyone except Gokudera
Not that Gokudera didn't try.

But that would be good.
If there's a way for him to exist without the box weapon.
I'll see what I can find out on my end
Maybe ask the traders?

haha ok that's what gokudera told me
uri is nice to everyone but him
i liked uri
i never had any pets
uri was funny

yeah i will
gokudera needs his friends right now i think
uri included

When he wasn't being a handful he could be
We spent a lot of time running around the base looking for him sometimes

But I agree
let me know what you find out

uri caused mischief??
like zunyan...!!

will do

zunyan?
I don't think he did it intentionally, but there was a lot of chasing him and trying to get him back in his box.

my familiar
that dragon you met
i call him zun

uri was just free spirited, ha......

Oh, good to know!
I guess I should mention that I call my familiar Aki

But yeah, he was.
Maybe we should get a leash or something to
I don't know if box weapons need them though

whats your familiar like

think uri can be trusted to roam alone in this world? he can fight right
dont you have a box weapon like yamamoto and gokudera??

He's a griffin, but he's closer to a big dog.
When I call on him, he's happy to help but he usually wants treats and attention afterwards
doesn't really seem to know about personal space.

Probably. But I'd hate it if someone else got a hold of him
It's probably not a technology we need to spread here.
I don't...not yet anyway. I figured I'd get one eventually but I didn't get anything from my future self.
I've just been told to refine my own techniques.

[Though, considering the possible fate of his future self, he's not sure how to take that.]

ha that sounds like my dragon
you met him when hes big
but usually hes little and crawls on me
and uncle. and azula. and gokudera.....
he steals food though and eats weird stuff he finds around town, thats annoying
what do you get yours for treats??? i always buy zunyan stuff

[ Like, way more than he should. The dragon has its own stash of belongings by this point. Which it just hoards in a pile under the bed. Because it's a dragon. Zuko wastes so much money contributing to this hidden pile of random loot. ]

lets ask around and figure it out
maybe there's a magic that'd keep him safe too

what exactly is a box weapon then? did gokudera design this himself in the future??
i feel like the more i learn about your world and your powers the less i understand ha

[ Two "ha's" from Zuko in one message? This is a good conversation, Tsuna! ]

I usually try for like, sweets and stuff.
Or jerky. Aki seems to really like that.
I always need to keep some on me if I call on him
He likes food almost as much as he likes attention.

There's gotta be something

Haha, yeah. I'm kinda in the same boat.
But no, Gokudera didn't design the box weapons, that was some other scientists.
Gokudera just made his Sistema C.A.I. and I think Uri's part of that. I haven't really seen it in action much. He had to figure it out from his future self.
But they're boxes with animal spirits in them, and you can use them as weapons or storage or other items. They react with our flames.

oh i bet zun would like jerky too
he eats anything though...... but i don't think he likes sweets as much. but ive also seen him try to eat a rock so you know
he has questionable tastes.. >:|
but zun likes attention almost as much as he likes food ha

gokuderas so smart he told me about his weapons system yeah
the time traveling sounds... scary...though..

so we would need to get the box that has uri's spirit in it?? if we were to try to figure out how to get uri here??

Sounds like he's a hungry little guy
Did he actually eat the rock?

It was.
Especially since I didn't really know how it works
Before I knew it only lasted like 5 minutes so for it to not do that was
yeah

The thing is, the boxes can only be open with dying will flames, and we don't have those here.
So we'd need a way to open the box, or just get Uri here and use magic somehow?

no i pried it out of his mouth
i feel like im always prying shit out of his mouth...... >:|
usually he just eats faster when i notice him which is when i know i need to intervene

wait you guys were only in the future for five minutes??
what do you mean?
gokudera told me he hated the man he became, because of... what happened to you.... and that he's motivated to never allow that version of the future to happen. he didn't explain technical stuff more than just uh...... his feelings.

[ This was also the moment Zuko's "Gokudera is the Avatar" theory was born, though, so in fairness, Zuko got him distracted from the technical details. With. Bull shit. ]

i wonder if magic from this world could open it
it may not be dying will flames but it's linked to our souls or whatever right

Sounds like a handful
I'm kinda glad Aki can look after himself.

I explained that wrong. Sorry.
There's a device in my world called the 10-year-bazooka. I don't really know how it works but when someone's shot with it, they switch places with themselves ten years in the future. Lambo used it a lot. Normally it only lasts five minutes and then things go back.
But when we were shot with it, we went into the future and...didn't go back after five minutes.
So we're stuck there, and it looks like we have to stop a man named Byakuran in order to go back.
I...uh.

[He hasn't really told anyone about this, aside from Gokudera. But with how much Zzuko knows, it seems wrong not to fill in the blanks.]

I woke up in a coffin.
Implying that my future self...yeah.
But, no one really seems to want to talk about how that happened. And I haven't asked.
The future...it's not great.

It might. Maybe the traders would know?
Or there's something somebody could make

wait
you're still stuck in the future??
but you woke up in a coffin....... that's scary. i'm sorry tenth.
so there's no way of knowing when you died either if no one will tell you how.
how'd you get out of the coffin??
and who is byakuran? you mentioned that name to me before, too. gokudera never had.

lets ask the traders yeah
maybe we'd have to commission something special for it work
but if you explain it to them i bet they could figure something out right??? it's interdimensional space magic.......
i'd be willing to pay for however much that would cost. wanna go half on it if it comes to that?

Yeah, I am.
Before coming here, we were on our way to attack one of the Millefiore family's bases, and hopefully stop a man named Irie Shoichi, who we think has something to do with the time travel.
I mean, I didn't know it was a coffin at first so it was easy enough to get the lid off. I actually ran into the Gokudera of the future until the Gokudera I knew appeared as well.
Byakuran is the leader of the Millefiore family, and he's kind of the reason why the future is all messed up. I haven't actually met him, but that's what I've been told. The Millefiore family's kind of in control of everything.

I can definitely do that.
And yeah, absolutely!

wait so you met gokudera ten years in the future?? and also a young gokudera at the same time??
but because you're... presumably dead... there was only one of you? so you just woke up wherever your own body was or something? how's it work
your world is incredible, the things that can happen.......

what is so bad about the millefiore family, are they evil??

Briefly, yeah.
The older version was replaced by the younger version before I could really ask any questions.
The ten year bazooka switches the current self with the future self.
So it was still me, and...yeah, I guess something happens to the future me.
I don't really like thinking about it

[For a lot of reasons]

They're the Vongola family's enemy in the future.
I just know that they control a lot of the world and that Byakuran is dangerous
They killed Reborn and a lot of others to get what they want
That's reason enough for me to stand against them

do you think they killed you too?

is this future guaranteed......?
the way gokudera spoke about it made it seem it was like... a possible timeline
one he's determined to prevent from happening now
to protect you

part of me. worries that it happened.
But my future self seemed really prepared
So, I don't know.

But no, I don't think it is.
Part of why we're going on the attack is to find a man named Irie Shoichi.
If we can stop him, we might be able to put things right

what's so special about irie shoichi

[ The names in their world still get him sometimes... Always out of the blue. Those cultural differences. Azula found the name "Tamaki" strange, Zuko's put off by Irie Shoichi.

But Jeong Jeong is fine. ]
