The pair was eating chicken Parmesan when they hear a still small voice talk to them.
"Don't lose your faith, since he will return. I will do the work."
The old couple has begun to cry and prayed right where they sat.

Back at Deathmask and the others' secret military HQ, Hagotti was in a large control room overseeing the many battles of the Urano-Ibor war. He decided to focus at this moment at where his young cadets were fighting at.
He spoke out loud, "This is madness! How come three-fourths of a twenty-five million city just loses power in only a few days. I know all of the major Ibor cities have a secret teleportation system. The higher-ups are cumming in their pants over getting it during this conflict and even offered a three rank promotion to whoever brings any information back about it. All the civilians there are long since gone before the battle even started. So apparently this new technology is extremely effective. Could have somebody from our troops discovered one such device?"
An officer spoke, "If I may be so bold, may I interject into your conversation General?"
Hagotti spoke, "Well shoot soldier."
The officer saluted as he spoke, "The Ibor people hate all waste of space above ground and
usually keep their power/ factory work to deep underground. Could one of our officers got down there and caused quite a stir, General?"
The general spoke, "It is unproven at the time, but it seems likely though. Good job, officer, keep me updated on this theory."
The officer shouted, "Yes sir!"
The general acknowledged the officer as he keeps what he was really was feeling.
"Boy and Joy are you all right? You were pet projects of mine from first had seen you. I had the big four sent to help in this battle, as a sign of their newfound obedience. Have the six of you ran into each other? You are all great in your own ways, but you could make the ultimate six man army unit. I believe that the product is great than the sum of its parts. But what great parts you are all alone, yet
alone together."
"I need some good-hearted men to show that honest people could exist in the military. There are
so many double and even triple agents within this very complex, maybe even this very room. My hands had been tied together by that evil red tape of the government for far too long. It has caused me to lose my marriage, family, friends and everything else, but my life and health. This fact makes me sick every moment that I live on this planet. I am supposed to only answer to the Urano presidents and the military brass below them. Yet, I answer only to the secret government that rules both of the factions, as if they were just puppets!"
These Ultimos care only to control through lust, and if they don't obtain that way then they will take it by force! Quintillions of Rindats had been made in the last ten years in supporting the war effort.
These blood mongers got to be stood or the new world order's mission will be complete!" But what kills me that I had to put on a dog and pony show for those who rule over this evil world. This is my shame and duty to act upon this. I will give so that this goal of mine could be successfully carried out.

Back home at Berth and Joe's hometown, the neighborhood was in a celebration for Grandma's passing into heaven. The service was about all the good things about the old church woman over
her one hundred and eleven years of life. the last thirty of those years were that of constant pain and turmoil. She had lost all her family due to murder or forced segregation. It was a bitter pill for the old woman to swallow.
But there was one silver lining in her death, her missing family had been found by Joe in his travels as well a world champion. What few family members had been found alive were given money by Joe to see Grandma. But they had arrived all too late, but they were blessed to be finally together. Grandma would be blessed to know that her grandson had found most of the separated family. Bertha had shown her in-law, in her husband's absence, the lost history of the woman's dead family members. She was then told that the living members would soon be coming to see her. Grandma was so happy that she was satisfied to die with just what God, through Joe had carried out for her. She had died in a tender state of peace.
Berth had called the children's schools and had them taken back home. It was a day off of school that the kids had never wanted to take.

The preacher spoke, "Joyce is so much better off than we are. This body is what is grieving when we should be rejoicing. She had gone through too much and the Lord wanted to make her one her many angels. She brought all these wonderful people together here this day. She always wanted to see all her family again, as the only thing that she had wanted in this short life."
"Joyce, or as everyone in this neighborhood simply called her by grandma, was a cornerstone in this church. She put this church building together on her own money as a simple factory worker. She gave up ninety percent of her meager paycheck every month to support the building of this
wonderful church. It is just a simple church that can only seat one hundred people if we are lucky. But
that was what God had given us all through Grandma's effort. She always had enough food to feed everybody, even the massive Joe."
People in the church laughed at the comment.
The preacher spoke, "She was my first Sunday school teacher and she fed me every time I came to church after the service. At first, I came for all the good cooking, but I stayed for the Word that she had taught me at least twice a week. I became the man I am today, because of the woman resting in front of me. Thank you, Grandma!"
At the celebration, there was a dry eye in the church house, but in the end, people were dancing and singing due to their sister going on to be with their Lord. They drove to the local cemetery and Grandma was buried there.

After the service, a man in dark black suit and pitch black shades came over to Bertha.
The mother spoke, "Who might you be, G-man? This is a private celebration, not a government sting. You better not cause any trouble or you will have to buy a new suit. That is after you get out of the hospital that is."
The mysterious G-man did not change his calm demeanor for one second while being told off by the grieving woman.
The mystery man spoke, "I am not here to interfere with your ceremony here, but I am just on an
unofficial basis for the Urano Government. I am not going to give you any more information about me than that, so let's return to the matter at hand. This is about your husband Joe's acceptance of his draft."
Bertha cut the G-man off as she said, "Lizza, please! He would never work for the same government that allowed his family to be destroyed."
The G-man spoke, "I am not here to argue with you. Just take this envelope and this 128 K HD
Disc."
Bertha took the two items from the man and opened the envelope. Her eyes about jump out of the skull, when she saw that it was full of one thousand Rindat bills. When she looked up to ask the man what was the deal, he was long gone as if he was never even there.
Joe had paid for the funeral of grandma, and the rest of the family, long since paid for more than
five years ago.

Back home Bertha took the older boys of her and Joe's into Joe's office. (This office was used for business matters and his daily video viewing for keeping hip on the sports world).
Joe Jr spoke, "What is up, Mom?"
The other boys had felt the same.
Bertha had brought her boys up to speed to what had happened at the cemetery.
Joe the third spoke, "That is freaky, mom."
Bertha showed the boys the money as she spoke, "This money would be split evenly among the
family. But what is on the disc I had wanted to show to you the same time as me. I owe that much to you, five boys because you had all stood up in all your own ways for the family. The little men had been helped out so much by your support. Little Mac and Jack had such a hard time with your dad not coming home every night. Dad had always made an effort to put you all to bed for story time every night,"
"Children need consistency in their lives, especially when they are younglings. Your dad was always known for his physical powers, but he had an IQ of over one hundred and thirty-four on his worst day. He was a genius when it came to sports, and he been taught to save his money before he even started in the sports world. I am saying, this because this money here reeks of your dad's doing. Let's watch the disc together."
Joe the fourth put the disc in and they had seen no menu and the video immediately jumped to
Joe wearing a tattered wrestling outfit.
Joe the fifth spoke, "What's going on here? Dad is letting his face be shown on camera, while still in his Mr. Big gear! Only the neighborhood knows who Mr. Big really is under the mask!"
Joe the sixth spoke, "Dad would never break kayfabe under any circumstance. Never!"
Kayfabe is the closely guarded secrets of wrestling and to an extent fighting. Wrestlers at their
best tell the truth when it comes a, b, and c. D is a straight up lie, but the fans never even question d. That is because they had told the truth before. True identities of masked wrestlers were closely guarded to even the fellow wrestlers/fighters.
