Luna finds Toya and wishes for a medical kit, "Please don't say you're fine, when you're not." She stands in front of Toya.
Toya looks away angry.
Luna sighs, "What did I do now?"
Toya responds with a question of his own, "Are you in love with him?"
Luna shakes her head, "No!"
Toya growls, "Than why did you treat him first?"
"Because he needed it first. You were clearly the winner of that round." Luna says taking a step closer.
Toya turns around and looks her in the eyes, "Why have you been avoiding me?" He cups her cheek, "Are you embarrassed of me?" He bites his lip, "I'm sorry I hurt you Luna, I didn't mean too, but you haven't talked to me since, what's going on?"
"Toya we tore this family apart. I don't want that to happen anymore. I just want to fix things. I don't want us to fight any more." Luna opens the kit.
"It's Us versus them, and they are your choice?" Toya sits down so he can be treated.
Luna daps the cotton on his bruises, "It's not like that. There is no us and them. There's our family, I hate that we ruined the harmony."
Toya crosses his arms, "You regret it don't you? Us."
Luna sighs, "I don't know how else to feel. I want us to ..."
Toya kisses her, "I don't regret it. I will never regret it, and I could never. We can only trust each other, so what if our family knows we're together, no one else should know but them, I thought that's what it meant to have only each other to keep secrets with. I don't get everyone's feelings at all."
Luna looks at Toya shocked, but than she smiles, "You always know what to say Toya. Thank you." She hugs him and than checks his arms and ribs.
"Luna I'm begging you, please, don't end this, don't force yourself to forget about me. I can't accept that heart break." Toya holds her hand in his.
Luna kisses him and tackles him to the floor, "I don't want to destroy what we have. You guys are my family. Murasaki is everything to me, you are everything to me Toya."
"Don't turn me on like that. Fuck. Why do I have to wait 10 years to put a baby inside you." He bites her neck and moans sinking his teeth deeper.
Luna stops breathing for a moment and slowly passes out.
Toya pulls away and smirks, "You're mine. I want everyone to know that." He stands up drinking the healing water carrying Luna back.
For once Lycan concedes defeat and accepts Luna is Toya's. Something about her scent tells him she is Toya's.
Diane comes back with a two headed black dragon.
"Big brother!" Numa says happy.
"Numa, hey. I came to meet my Alpha's." Each head looks at either Jet or Jake.
"Wait, how did the Infected take over with you around?" June asks.
"We were frozen in time first. They took us down first, than the guardians and that was it for you. You didn't have what it takes to stand against the curse. We take full responsibility for coddling you and enjoying fame and comfort instead of training you to be ready for war. We failed as protectors, and as teachers." The dragon says before splitting into two.
"I wish Split were here, but he's stuck on Comms duty at home." June says sad.
"He would have totally loved you guys. I wonder what his guardian can do." Sharon says.
"Something that can make him stronger, what about little dragons?" Dodge asks pointing at Numa.
"He's for the little baby." Diane says.
Toya smiles at Rue and picks her up. She instantly starts crying, "I know you haven't eaten yet princess. You don't get to cry your way out of this one."
He grabs the prepared baby food and hot water in a flask mixing her meal for her.
Rue cries and diligently eats her meal at the same time.
"I have to go. I need to have a conversation with Mira face to face. She has balls to talk shit to me just because it's on the phone. I need a portal." Chronos says still pissed off.
Jake opens a portal to Mira's city.
~~~
Chronos enters and grabs Mira by the forearm entering the time vault. He pins her against an invisible wall and kisses her, "What the hell did you say to me?"
Mira looks him in the eyes glaring, but slowly her glaring turns to a frown, "Why did you do that?"
"Because you are selfish. If it was me and you, you'd expect everyone else to forgive you, but you just won't forgive the others, if you heard them out, you'd know why Toya did it."
Mira crosses her arms, "Because he's selfish that's why."
Chronos pins hands above her head, "You will cut that attitude with me!"
"What did Toya say?" She asks unable to look him in the eyes.
"He thought that us being able to trust each other meant that we're the only ones allowed to know about his relationship with Luna, or any relationships in the group and we cover for each other, which makes sense because if anyone else finds out we're in trouble but if we know, it doesn't matter. No body else heard him because I followed him, I need you to pick the original members and we tell them this." Chronos lets go and watches the look of surprise on her face.
"I completely missed the point." Mira says covering her face, "I am so embarrassed."
Chronos gives her a hug, "If you ever talk to me like that again. We're done, I'm not going to yell at you or raise my damn voice to get you to listen. I'm not that type."
Mira bites her lip.
"This is the part where you apologize Mira." Chronos says letting down the time vault.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't want to listen to you. I called you names and yelled at you. It won't happen again." She twiddles her thumbs.
"It better not, I won't tolerate that ever again. That was your one time pass." He calls for a portal and asks Lycan to allow Mira in.
When Chronos comes back he calls the others aside asking Charlie, Terra, Rue, and Avery to excuse them.
Chronos tells the others what he told Mira and they all look at each other.
"We completely missed the point." Chronos says.
"Wow, I'm sorry man, we really blew things out of proportion for nothing." Jet says giving Luna a hug.
A smiling giant Lion stands behind Toya with a proud smile.
Ava looks at him and smiles, "He's beautiful." She says.
"Thank you dear, you can call me Ariel. What can I do for you. Name it and I shall do it." The smiling lion says.
"My friend Charlie is really sad she doesn't have powers, can you give her a useful one, to protect the circle."
Ariel nods, "It is done." He looks at Toya bowing his head and than leaving.
Rex apologises too and his stomach growls, "Well, I'm not dating anyone. Can we talk about who is with who? Toya you better be careful, you can use the time vault. Do whatever in there."
"We're together." Chronos points between him and Mira.
"We're almost there." Jake points at Rin.
Sharon hides his face behind a book, "I can't rush things with Misty, I'm not sure she likes me yet."
Everyone laughs.
"Take your time." Jet says.
Chronos exits the vault and they decide to start grilling the meet.
Later that evening everyone sits around the fire.
"Dodge, I think I may have used your own power on you, have you been feeling okay?" Toya asks.
"I have been the only sane one here the entire time. I haven't felt this good in years, whatever it is, clearly is working for me. I'm cool. No need to undo it." She says happily taking a sip of her tea.
"Luna I'm sorry I selfishly wanted an island because I was jealous you got one and I used you to get it because I was afraid I wouldn't get one, and I said all those hurtful things about you. I'm sorry that I have been completely insensitive to the loss all of you have been through. I can't even begin to imagine what you've been through. Losing your families one way or another. I was so terrible to you." Mira says wiping her tears away.
Toya looks at Lycan waiting for an apology, but it doesn't look like it's coming.
Ava smiles at Charlie, "I met the most beautiful Lion today. He looks nothing like a Dandelion."
Another Lion appears and laughs, he's a completely different colour from the other one.
"He really is beautiful." Charlie says.
"That's a different one." Ava replies.
"My name is Leo. Rexus, you have not been getting enough sleep." Leo says.
Rex turns around, "My name is Rex, my full name is Rex. Where did you get that from?"
Leo chuckles, "I only guard Alpha's with the name Rex, Rexus is what you call a young King, until you are powerful enough, I will not call you a King."
"Rex means King?" Sharon asks.
Leo nods.
"What were you protecting them from all those times there wasn't war?" Ava asks.
"Assassination attempts. We also have a contract to make sure the Alpha title stays within the family. Since many blood lines were either wiped out or not willing to take back the Cities, we can sign contracts with you new Alpha's. Your potential is seductive." Leo hovers and looks at the baby.
"You guys really love babies." Dodge says.
"Oh, no. It's coming back. Hide Everyone." Numa says hugging the baby.
"How are you hiding?" Chronos asks the baby dragon with his eyes closed.
Diane lands and strides towards the children, "Oh, that grumpy Helia refuses to come. He's still drowsy."
"Who's Helia protecting?" Ava asks.
"Sharon, he always protects the Giant family. Unfortunately Sharon you chose the wrong city. You will have to give that one to someone else and move to Leviathan." Diane says.
Sharon checks the map and he wanted to choose it but people were already living there, "I saw people there and changed my mind. I'm sure they'll be willing to move. Sorry."
Diane smiles, "Alright. Hurry up now. You don't want them to get settled in."
Sharon asks for help.
Luna gives him a shield, "Go with Diane. I'm sure she wants to be the first person to see Helia."
"Can I go?" Numa asks Luna.
"Well, who's protecting Rue?" She asks laughing.
"I will. I can take her there." He flies up with Rue cosily falling asleep.
"Alright. Be careful." Luna says.
Diane smiles, "Hop on." She lies down so Sharon can catch a ride.
"So cool." Sharon says sitting on her tail. She is way too large to reach her back.
Diane uses her tail to place him on her back, "Hold on."
"To what?"
Lift off!!!
Sharon screams all the way to the top and calms down when he realises he didn't fall off.
"It takes real skill to lift off without dropping them." Diane says to Numa focused on not waking the baby.
Diane arrives and destroys the shield with her fire breath.
Sharon jumps and asks everyone to move to the larger territory.
"Of course. We'd appreciate a stronger shield. How did you do that?" Everyone asks.
"They can't see me, or Numa." Diane says.
"Practice. I'll call for the team. Have you started unpacking?" Sharon asks.
"No, we wanted to move. Clearly we were right. Something feels eerie about this place."
Sharon nods calling everyone over.
The twins portal everyone to the new place.
Helia a massive Dragon comes out.
"Only a giant can sit on his back, he's huge, can he see us?" Dodge asks.
Helia shrinks down to average dragon size, but he's still much larger, "Terra will be interim leader of the other camp. Come, Sharon, you must see it from the sky to believe it."
Sharon sits on his tail and Helia raises a brow before he rolls his eyes and lifts off.
Sharon smirks and walks up his tail.
He slips when Helia rolls laughing.
"Stop, that tickles." Helia rests Sharon on his back and flies up.
"I have the same power as you." Sharon says.
"I know, I'm the one who gave it to your people, but they don't know that." They arrive at a city in a cloud and there are people here, "When the country was flooding, we carried as many people as we could to cities like these. We built them for you, unfortunately I was frozen in time before I got everyone. They do not wish to go back down, and thus the Alpha's forfeit their rights. I do not need to guard people in safety, down there, it's where I belong, I do have to introduce the new Alpha." Helia says.
"Can they see you?" Sharon asks.
"Yes." Helia says entering the giant castle in the sky.
"Mommy, is that him?" A little girl asks.
Helia stands behind Sharon with his wings spread, "I am Helia, protector of the giants. This is the new giant Alpha, Sharon. It is your choice to stay I have heard your prayers and Thanksgiving. I am here for the crown keeper, Medallion, where is he?"
A boy arrives with a crown, "Here it is sir."
"Do you wish to go back down as you asked?" Helia asks.
"Yes sir." The young boy says.
Helia stands up straight, "I am no god to be worshipped. Nor a god to need a shrine. Tear down the shrine. I am but a humble servant to the Alpha, a guardian, a protector, a preserver." Helia bows.
"Stop! My family has been Alpha's for years, your contract is to keep the Alpha lineage in our blood line. I am the rightful Alpha!"
Helia nods, "I understand Helios, but when I last spoke to you, you said you wish to stay an Alpha here. You have no need for a protector in this place, there's nothing that can harm you here. I am a protector and nothing else, my services are no longer required in the cloud castle."
"There is nothing that harm us here? Not even infected?" A woman asks.
Sharon chuckles and rolls his eyes at everyone afraid of the Infected yet they've never seen them.
Helios looks at Sharon and glares, "What's so funny?"
"You've never seen an infected. You offered up prayers everyday, why couldn't you tell him to come get the rest of us dying down there? You're a coward!!" Sharon says pissed off that they have the nerve to talk about something they know nothing about.
Helios turns around, "You can leave boy. Take that crown hogger with you. We don't want him here."
Sharon chuckles, "I don't want you in my castle. If I'm Alpha, that's mine. Can you adjust the terrain like the Water Breathers?" He asks Helia ignoring Helios.
"Of course. I will make room and take the castle higher. I appreciate your family for keeping peace amongst the people Helios. I ask you keep doing so. Sharon will not be back to bother you."
A girl holding a back pack runs out of the crowd, "Wait, don't leave me here."
Helia agrees. He leaves and flies up stopping at the bottom of the castle, "Insert it here. Giant territory is a land of Dragons, did you see how much territory is yours?"
Sharon nods and covers the dragon territory.
Rex nods, "The land of giants. Two were too much in a city, I understand now."
Sharon comes back with 2 children and Helia gives him the crown.
Terra feels something heavy on his head, "Really!? You were serious?"
Helia nods, "Of course. I must take my leave. When you need me I'll be there."
Numa flies in his father's face, "Dad! I have a baby."
Helia looks at the sleeping baby, "Ohh, a little Lycan. Looks like a Wish to me. You are doing well Numa. Keep making me so proud."
Numa smiles flying down to give back the baby. His wings feel like they are falling off.
Luna wraps Numa in a baby blanket and rests him in his own stroller. She adds healing water to a baby bottle and gives him to drink.
"We should get going to get some rest." Luna says.
"Where did they come from?" Lycan asks.
"That's something your own guardians must explain, but these two are my responsibility." Sharon says giving them rings and instead they become crowns, "Well, let's take you home."
