Curtis was in the kitchen, getting something for the kids while the rest of us were out when the door was banged open then he saw Mahmoud, grinning like a maniac as he said,"You took everything from me, time to return the favor."
"What are you talking about?"Curtis asked, already getting ready for a fight.
"See for yourself."He said.
He moved out of the way, showing the children floating in the air with golden rays pouring out of their eyes, and orifices and circling their bodies, with them half dead.
Curtis widened his eyes as Mahmoud cackled then said,"They're dead..."
Curtis blasted a powerful wind at him which just parted around him as he said,"Old tricks won't work on me anymore."
Curtis just swiped his arm but nothing happened... literally, Mahmoud was caught in an inescapable Stasis, then Curtis blasted another wind at him and this time, released him at the moment of impact and he was blasted through the living room wall.
Curtis dashed at him while he was still midair then slammed his body into the ground but he dissipated then appeared behind Curtis with a long sword in his hand but a strong wind blew him back.
Curtis was furious then went inter dimensional then Mahmoud was thrown into the air without anything touching him and something sliced right through his prosthetic leg then punched him in the belly, throwing him into the ground.
Curtis reappeared and went to the children and had no idea what was wrong with them while Alex and I were spectating with popcorn nearby.
Curtis was just there when he heard a slicing sound then dodged the sword by the skin of his teeth then his breath fell short when huge chunks of his long hair fell to the floor.
He, without hesitating, rammed Mahmoud with his body and speared him into the ground then started punching at him, then Mahmoud blasted Curtis back with a strong wind but Curtis landed with a back handspring.
The prosthetic leg was replaced by an automated metal one, then Mahmoud ran at Curtis and Curtis at him, then Alex said,"You know what's funny? It's that those aren't even the real kids."
"And the women are at the door."I said.
We toasted our popcorn then it burst out but we levitated them with wind then made them go into the paper bags in patterns.
Curtis landed a punch to the side of Mahmoud's handsome face and he kicked Curtis in the ribs with his normal leg.
They were thrown backwards and were about to attack again when they heard someone yelled,"What the heck are you guys doing?!"
They turned back to the women and Curtis saw Alexa with the kids, and Mahmoud's children as well then Curtis turned back to Mahmoud.
Alexa then commanded them to leave each other, Curtis obliged but Mahmoud hesitated until his wife demanded he did.
Alexa went to check up on Curtis's well-being while Emilia went to Mahmoud fuming then yelled,"What the heck is wrong with you?!"
He was breathing heavily and dizzy as he spoke,"Emilia, I wanted to tell you I don't want to hurt any of the children, I left my family's mission and cut all ties with them years ago, to be with you."
"So you think doing this will make me love you more?!"She yelled.
He was silent as Curtis was pushed forward by Alexa.
He looked at her angrily but the face she gave him made him give in and stretch his arm for a handshake.
Mahmoud was about to slap his hand to his own pretty face when his wife glared at him, so he groaned then shook Curtis's hand, till Curtis pulled him for a hug.
He wanted to resist till Curtis said,"I missed you, old friend."
Mahmoud looked at him then smiled till the mansion began being repaired as they stood there.
"And there, feeling better?"Lilith asked.
Prince, Mahmoud's youngest son, took a deep breath and it was clear.
He squealed then hugged the beautiful girl who just healed him, maybe she was the one for him.
Lilith also healed Princess's legs and she was leaping in no time, while Jessica healed all Curtis's and Mahmoud's injuries and scars...all of them.
Curtis looked to his back to see the scar was gone, but his hair was still shoulder length and messy.
Jessica wanted to grow it back but he said,"Nah, I think it's time for a change, a full makeover."
Curtis walked out of the hair salon looking awesome, even Emilia was jealous.
His hair had been trimmed down and shaved to the sides of his head, but his hair was spiky on his crown, making a ' Prince Charming ' sort of vibe, and Alexa loved it.
Curtis then asked Alexa,"So, do you like it?"
"I always like it honey."She said.
They were about to share a kiss when Mahmoud yelled,"Aww come on! Get a room!"
The two laughed then Curtis opened a portal to their room then gestured while asking,"Shall we?"
Alexa walked in and he followed, leaving the kids with Alex and me, wondering what their parents needed a room for, a kiss wasn't that disgusting...right?
Catherine then asked Titus,"So can we be friends?"
"What? No!"He said, firmly.
"Then, what about more than that?"She asked again.
"What are you talking a..."He began.
She kissed him before he could finish then he held her and kissed her back...
Alek was tense then Princess asked if something was wrong, blushing all the way.
He looked at her, then walked away, he didn't want to hurt or scare her, but ended up doing just that.
The voices were getting stronger, and more intent, with the person now calling him,' Son '.
He didn't want to doubt his parents' legitimacy, he couldn't, he looked exactly like his father and the voice didn't sound like a woman to be his biological mother.
"Honey, is something wrong?"Anneliese asked me.
"What? No, why did you think so?"I asked.
"I sensed you responding to a mental message, are you sure nothing's wrong?"She asked.
I kissed her forehead then said,"It's nothing I can't handle."
"Well, I can't handle mine, something's calling me... calling me my child."She said.
I looked into her eyes, shocked, then looked at Alek, who also looked distant after rejecting Mahmoud's daughter.
He was also having a message, I could sense, what was calling us?

The Crab Nebula started to warp, then formed a giant portal, larger than Rigel the star, and an invisible force passed out of it, making everything shift between realities and accelerate in expansion.
