Saisho No Kasai

Jonathan extends his hand to Joana, who still holds it with some reluctance, he lifts her up.

Jonathan: Are you okay? No injuries?

Joana: {looks at herself} No

Jonathan: Right, do you know if anyone else is alive around here? Shelters or similar places?

Joana: No, I was the only one who survived, that boy and others attacked my city and destroyed everything

Jonathan: You'd think there would be more, anyway, how did you survive?

Joana: I went into an underground shelter, my parents couldn't get in, they were attacked first and asked me to close the underground shelter, so it wouldn't be invaded

Jonathan: Right, if you'll excuse me {grabs Joana in his arms and starts flying}

Jonathan: By the way, you look kind of small, how old are you? You know how to speak very well

Joana: I'm 5 years old

Jonathan: My, my, really, you're smart, then?

Joana: {raises two fingers}

Jonathan laughs lightly at this, as he arrives at a recovery center, where he meets Matheus, who has brought other survivors.

Matheus: Jonathan, apparently there are five individuals

Jonathan: really? Have you ever seen a blond?

Matheus: uh... No, so now there are six, all young

Jonathan: complicated, they are working hard and they are just young?

Matheus: you are going to the front line

Jonathan flies to a location under attack, he launches several golden projectiles at an enemy, forming a smoke that he quickly dissipates with a shiny wave.

Aki is 1,500 years old, height 1,75

Jonathan: stand there! In the name of the law...

Aki: I just think that warriors like you don't say that when you intercept someone.

Jonathan: Yeah, but it's cool to say that.

Aki raises a Bisento towards Jonathan.

Aki: So, are you going to fight or not?

Jonathan: You're impatient, aren't you?

Jonathan and Aki clash their blades, starting a short fight that ends with Aki defeated.

Jonathan: Surrender at once.

Aki: Never!...

A dark mist of nanobots approaches and stands between the two, several claws appear and try to hit Jonathan, but he jumps back and gets into position, the mist gathers and forms Demian.

Demian is 17 year old, height 1.70

Demian: You're strong, no wonder he's your son.

Jonathan's eyes widen, his eyes sweat, his pupils dilate and he trembles slightly.

Jonathan: What?... How?-

He doesn't have time to think straight, Demian grabs him between his claws and Aki stabs his chest with the Bisento, then kicks him in the stomach, throwing him backwards.

Jonathan: Is he... Alive?!

Jonathan ignores the damage he received, grabbing Aki by the head and pinning her to the ground, then kicks her back.

Jonathan: Where is he?...

Demian: I can't tell you, what did you expect? That I would tell you just because you asked?

Jonathan: It makes sense, so I'll force you to say it

Demian: If you're so desperate... I won't stop you

Demian says this, but sends a mist of nanobots against Jonathan, covering his vision, he even tries to remove it from his eyes, but without success, Demian together with Aki, escape from the place.

Jonathan: Damn...

Matheus descends from the air, landing near Jonathan.

Matheus: How is the situation?

Jonathan: Under control, any news?

Matheus: Yes, this was the last point they attacked, we found a report from some of the survivors, who said they were looking for some fragments of a catastrophic artifact, but the good and bad news is that everyone escaped, but they stopped the attack.

Jonathan: How many dead?

Matheus: A total of 1,100 people, they didn't kill many, it seemed like their intention was totally focused on finding the piece of the artifact.

Jonathan: Let's go back to the base.

The two fly away, when they arrive at the base, Jonathan sees the survivors meeting with their families, even with some dead, everyone finds some remaining relatives, but the only one he doesn't find is that girl, Joana. Jonathan feels sorry for her and approaches her, crouching down in front of her.

Jonathan: Little one... Would you like to live with me and my wife?

Joana: Why all of a sudden?

Jonathan: Well... I see that you were the only one left alone, and leaving you here... Without anyone, it's kind of hard for me, you know?

Joana: I would be your daughter and that's it?

Jonathan: Eh... I guess so?

Joana: You don't even know what you want?

Jonathan: It's just that I thought about it last minute, but now I know what I want, would you let me adopt you?

Joana: {sighs} Okay...

Hours later...

Jonathan arrives with Joana at her house, where she finds Jenny pregnant.

Joana: Huh? So why adopt me if you're already going to have a child?

Jonathan: Let's say you can be his companion, right?

Joana: Seriously?

Jonathan: By the way, since she's pregnant, can you help me take care of her needs, besides, women understand each other?

Joana: "women understand each other"?! Do I look like a woman for that?

Jonathan: you have the mentality of a woman

Jonathan: tsc, anyway, I'll help then

Months later...

Julian is born and Joana becomes less "aggressive", managing to take care of and become the family's maid, even though legally she was their daughter

Six years later...

Julian generates a spark from a fireball, which shocks Jonathan.

Jonathan: what? How did you do that at your age?!

The scene returns to a white void

Jonathan: I don't care about all that, I just want... Right now, to meet my friends and wife

Jonathan: okay! If that's what you want, then you can go! I've already seen that your regret is gone and that you're now ready to go

Jonathan: I think I'm understanding, I understand that I can't do anything else, anyway, goodbye

Jonathan walks through the void, his path becomes clearer and he disappears

[the pillars used to seal Jack had already been charged with Vitalis previously, even before Olivia went to get the artifact, meaning the sealing will last a long time, almost 70 million years in total]

The hexagon is on the ground, containing a structure, the pillars with chains that hold Jack, in a black and vast setting, Olivia approaches and picks up the hexagon, while the other two just observe the surroundings to see if there is anything else that poses a danger. After noticing nothing hostile anymore, they take the hexagon to a more remote location, where they bury it 5 meters into the ground, with that, they leave, returning to the kingdom.

Julian: My father... My mother...

Joana puts her hand on Julian's shoulder, then hugs him, holding him tightly in her arms. Julian's eyes water as he puts his hands over his eyes, drying himself and trying to stop himself from crying, sobbing and a few moments later, bursting into tears, with Joana always close to him. Olivia arrives at the scene, along with Leonard and Nikolas, who are in the corner. The woman crouches in front of Julian.

Olivia: Your father told me to take care of you in case something bad happens to him, like what happened... In other words, adopt you after him, the same goes for you Joana

Leonard: He didn't trust us to do that?

Nikolas: Let's see, maybe because we never showed him anything that would make him think we're good parents, he doesn't have that much trust in us

Leonard: So we're so useless, that it would be better not to try to help?

Nikolas: Putting it that way... The situation gets bad for us

Leonard: TSC, anyway, I don't care about that anyway, I'm going on a very long mission in another galaxy, see me in a few years

Nikolas: Maybe because of our missions, he doesn't trust us so much that we'll be present

Leonard: Are you still thinking about that? He just thought that they wouldn't take good care of him and that's it

Olivia: Ignore the two of you, anyway, do you accept being under my protection?

Joana: {comforts Julian} we have nothing to do, so yes, we accept, he can't say anything right now, he needs to rest

Olivia: I understand, I'll take you to a safe place then, I have a house in a planetary system nearby, it will be a short trip, in the meantime, you can try to cheer him up

Joana: okay

Joana helps Julian to stand up and offers her shoulder, taking him to the transport Cruise that Olivia was piloting. Leonard exchanges a few words with the two before leaving.

Leonard: well, it's a mission to change jobs, basically, I would have to become a soldier for a young woman who is already coveted as one of the next great empresses of the universe

Nikolas: complicated, how long would that last?

Leonard: I have the slightest idea, the weather forecast is very unstable, that is, it could end up lasting a long time

Olivia: well, all of us here can still talk to you, just give me a call and that's it

Leonard: by the way! This planet greatly appreciates medieval aesthetics, kingdoms made of stone and wood, even if technology is still camouflaged in some corners

Nikolas: this is not one of the most rustic planets, at least, that ends up not being a problem, I actually like it here, anyway, see you later, so, we'll call you when possible

Olivia: I wish we could do that with Jonathan

Leonard: I was trying to forget about it

Nikolas: we... It wasn't good that you brought it up

Olivia: sorry, I thought you were calm about this situation

Leonard: no... We just... We thought it best not to talk

Olivia: I'm sorry... Really

Nikolas: no need, you just didn't know how to deal with the situation

Leonard: {claps} let's try to forget about it, okay? Nikolas and I will forget about this, if you want, you can do his funeral yourself

Olivia: Okay, I'm going, so I have to take the kids too

Nikolas: I'll stay here, gather information and clear Jonathan and his family's reputation, I'll try something to make Julian enter this planet without being considered a threat
