In the Village, the home of the Hero Clan hidden in the deep mountainous areas of Japan, under a massive dimensional barrier, was Jin Tojou. One of the strongest humans ever born and the greatest Hero born to the Japanese Hero Clan.
In one of the many courtyards, was Jin himself overlooking the training of his young son Basara Tojou. A Prodigy among Prodigies and if any learned of his true heritage, the danger it could bring would be catastrophic.
Basara was not just the son of Jin, who had fed on the blood of an Evil Dragon and its clones, but the child of Sapphire Gremory and Raphaeline a foreign Alien Goddess. The build-up to that was when he and Sapphire were having one of their dangerous battles. One of the last as it was during a time when a second World War was going to break out.
That ended when Wilbert and the Satans forced a truce between The Hero Clan and The Devils. Sapphire and Jin not satisfied with that had continued their battle, and it had become so apocalyptic that the damage would have devastated a large area of Earth.
Not content to watch the collateral damage, Raphaeline an unknown goddess intervened. Most of the Supernatural world had no clue who she was and she hadn't given him much information.
Their three-way battle had resulted in the dimensions breaking causing Jin, Sapphire, and Raphaeline to become sent to a pocket dimension in the Dimensional Gap. There, they spent years trapped inside only with each other and the three of them became close.
After a few years of being trapped in this Dimension, they came face to face with the creature creating it. An unknown Dragon who possessed extremely powerful Space and Dimensional Abillities.
In the end, it took the unified power of Jin, Sapphire, and Raphaeline to kill it. Jin proceeded to feed and bathed in this dragon's blood gaining its powers including his deadly Banishing Shift.
With the main dragon dead, its 20 clones came to avenge it only to be killed by Jin alone following his increase in power. With the Dragons dead, Jin, Sapphire, and Raphaeline remained trapped for several more months as the Dimension came down.
In that time, the three of them became closer than ever, and in the end, Jin took both women as his lovers. In the months leading to their escape, Sapphire became pregnant, but knowing the danger of returning to the Underworld, Raphaeline used a ritual to transfer Basara's embryo to her womb where she carried him to term.
When the Dimension went down, Raphaeline vanished as she returned to her home the world of Evie Atolde. There, in secret, she gave birth to Basara with the aid of her cousin. Her cousin, Afureia had then delivered Basara to Jin who informed him and Sapphire about the inprisonment of Raphaeline.
Now, five years later, neither Jin nor Sapphire knew when they would see Raphaeline again.

While Jin and Basara lived at the Hero Village, Sapphire could not enter the village. Instead, she lived away from the spotlight in secret in Hiroshima. Whenever Jin or Basara wanted to see her, Jin would pick out a long-term mission to spend time with her.
Now that he thought about it, it had been over a month since Basara had seen Sapphire the only Mother he knew. He was thinking of picking out a mission again and taking his son for 'training' to see her.
Just as he was pondering, he felt his phone vibrate. He pulled his phone out and when he saw who the caller was he grinned.
'Jack.'
He answered the call and brought it up to his ear. In perfect English, he instantly greeted the man who he trusted the most.
"Jack my brother, how are you doing? We haven't seen each other in almost two years. You don't call you don't write. Almost like you forgot about me?"
Jack on the other end of the call was currently pulling out his old Hero equipment from the secret stash he and his wife had made. She was here with him getting her magic rings, earrings, jewels, staff, and dreaded Grimoire.
She stayed silent while Jack spoke to Jin, his best friend, and sworn brother.
"Jin, I wish I was calling you on better terms, but it involves my son. Junior despite our intentions has returned to the Supernatural. His strength has grown so much in just two years and he hasn't even awakened his true heritage."
Jin glanced at Basara who had a large crimson gauntlet on his left hand. He didn't just have the best genetics, his son had one of the Longinus. The Boosted Gear, in Jin's mind, his son was set to be the greatest in this world.
"You don't say, my son Basara is in the same boat. He has a Sacred Gear as well so you know my boy is strong.
Jack smiled as he pulled his old sword from storage. The Holy Sword Clarent, gifted to him by The Vatican. He was supposed to return it, but life in this world was dangerous. As such, when he left, he took it and no one had the balls to come try to take it from him.
"Mine too. I am almost sure he has a Longinus because his strength is rising too fast for it to be anything else."
Jin chuckled as he and his sworn brother Jack seemed to both have children with Longinus.
"So does Basara, he got The Boosted Gear."
Jack was surprised and happy for his brother's son.
"Amazing. I don't know which Sacred Gear my son has, but I have reason to suspect The Divine Dividing. I have never seen it, but we will see. The reason I am calling is that me and Esmeralda are coming out of retirement.
When we next see my son, we will return him his rightful inheritance we took from him as a boy. I need to know if the Hero Clan has any information on my son. I am calling you since you are their best Hero. If anyone knows more, it will be you."
Jin lit up a cigarette and took a deep drag.
"Now that I think about it, some Hero Clan agents have been trying to track down a powerful Sacred Gear in Tokyo. They haven't had any luck in two years, but I assume it is your son."
Jack nodded.
"I see. Later today I will talk to my son and we will awaken his true heritage. If he wants to be in this life he might as well be the strongest. When can we meet?"
Jin thought about it as he was just about to go see Sapphire. It was about time, he introduced Basara and his first wife to his brother. He would also get a chance to see his nephew, Jack who he had never met.
"Why not today? It will be a good opportunity for our sons to get to know each other. I will introduce you to my lady, in my opinion, she is just as special as yours."
Jack doubted that as his wife was said to be one of the greatest Witches in Oz, the land of the most powerful Witches.
"We will see. As for my son, Jack, he turns 11 on September 1st."
Jin smiled.
"Basara just turned 5 on August 1st. Kind of like us, they were born not too far apart. Maybe they will be good friends. Get a bottle of scotch ready, because we are drinking till we drop.
Jack smiled.
"Sure, see you soon my friend."
Once the call ended, Jin stood up. He whistled which caused Basara who was holding a sword in his right hand with the Boosted Gear in his left. He instantly dropped the sword and ran over to his Father.
"Yes?"
Jin kneeled and ruffled his hair.
"Basara, good news you're meeting your uncle, aunt, and cousin. We are also going to go see your mommy."
Basara instantly perked up. He knew why his Mother could not live here, and every time he could see her, it made his world. However, he focused on the information his Dad said.
"Uncle? Dad, you never said you had a brother."
Jin stood up as he explained that blood didn't always matter.
"Not by blood, but he is as much my brother as if he was. He even has a son like you, he has a Sacred Gear, possibly the Divine Dividing."
Ddraig instantly took notice.
{My rival? If the White One's host is the son of your friend, Jack, this generation of White Dragon Emperor will be mighty. Our battle will truly be legendary.}
Basara dismissed the gauntlet as he was trained by his Mother and Father. He had heard the story of the Red and White Dragon Emperors from Ddraig, but did they have to fight?
If the White Dragon Emperor was the son of the brother of his Dad, they didn't need to fight. That would make his dad and uncle sad if something bad happened to either of them.
"When are we going?"
Jin grinned and picked him up.
"Now. We will first pick up your Mom, and then go to Tokyo. I am sure you will get along with your cousin."

In the Underworld at the Grigori main base, Jack was still playing with his new Sacred Gear. Artificial or not, this Sacred Gear was busted. He began to use a mix of Taekwondo-style kicks and each one hit with massive force. With Procellarum Phantom, each of his kicks became a deadly thing.
Azazel was all smiles as his Sacred Gear found the right individual to give it life. Not just that, it was in Jack who now carried his blood in his veins. In a sense, he could consider himself a second Father biologically to Jack.
"How do you like it, Jack?"
Jack stopped kicking before he turned to Azazel.
"I love it, works like a glove. This Sacred Gear is busted in my hands."
He looked down at his legs before correcting himself.
"On my legs I mean."
He ran over to the three Cadre before coming to a complete stop. Shemhazai did want to ask something.
"Do you feel unsteady? Any dizziness, and fatigue. Do you think your Mana is draining faster than usual? Are you feeling a pressure on your soul? Even a minor discomfort could prove fatal."
Jack thought about it as he didn't feel all that. He still felt focused, he wasn't dizzy or tired and his mana wasn't depleting any faster. He just felt really good to be moving this fast.
"Nope. I feel fine."
He dismissed his Sacred Gear before he raised his right hand.
"Apophis, anything wrong in my soulscape?"
Apophis began to check out as the new Sacred Gear has connected to his soul as well. She thoroughly made sure the connection didn't cause trouble, but nothing of the sort. If anything, she could feel Procellarum Phantom being nurtured by his mana and soul.
Including her own so if the Sacred Gear had any problems, she couldn't see them.
[Your soul and the connection of the Procellarum Phantom to it is stable.]
Azazel nodded to himself as he thought he knew why.
"I honestly think it had to do with us using your blood to make it more attuned to you. I will want to take some more advanced scans to see how it adapts and changes as you get stronger.
By doing that we should be able to better perfect our Artificial Sacred Gears for our agents."
Jack was fine with that. Azazel was nice enough to give him this Sacred Gear and his blood. Plus, he would get more out of a genius like Azazel helping him improve than anything else.
"Completely fine with me. You are the boss, second dad."
Azazel scowled.
"What?"
Baraqiel looked away to hide his laugh.
"You did give him a large transfusion of your blood, your genetics are in his body. You might as well be his second Father. Take responsibility."
Shemhazai bent over holding his stomach.
"Yeah, you better treat your second son well."
Azazel scowled.
"I fought so hard to not have kids of my own and now I have two. Pops must be laughing in his grave."
Jack merely walked over to Azazel and patted him on the shoulder.
"I am just messing with you. I love my Dad and to be honest, if he was a Supernatural individual, I say he would be a king."
Azazel nodded as he had never seen Jack's Father.
"What was your dad's name?"
"Jack Owens, I am Jack Owens Junior."
Azazel at first had not paid attention to the name, as there were thousands of Jacks in America and even more Owens. However, there was one particular Jack Owens of note. One that the entire Supernatural community knew about.
Azazel looked over at Baraqiel and Shemhazai who from the look of things, were thinking what he was thinking.
"Jack, how much do you know about your Father?"
Jack now felt something was weird.
"Now that I think about it, not much. I got a picture of him now that I think about it."
He summoned his Sacred Gear the Abyssal Eclipse Gear and he brought out a picture he kept of his parents and him. When the picture emerged, he handed it over to Azazel who froze when he saw the picture.
The photo was a few years old, as Jack was only three in the picture. However, Azazel instantly recognized the giant man in the picture. That massive frame that towered over overs, the deep blue eyes, and the authority that seemed to radiate from it.
"Jack Owens, the Hero Of The Deep Sea. The Slayer Of Ten Thousand. You're the son of Jack Owens, my God."
When Jack heard that name, he was instantly alarmed.
"My Dad was a Hero? How? I mean, sure he is my Hero, but you are saying he was 'a Hero'."
Azazel grinned as he handed the picture back to Jack. He patted his shoulders with a huge grin.
"Yes, he was, one of the best born. Remember when I said Jin was the greatest produced in the Japanese branch and maybe the world? Your Father was the greatest Hero produced in the American Hero Clan.
The reason he was called the Hero of The Deep Sea was because of the God your Father made a contract with. Every Hero will make a contract with a Spirit or God, to draw power from and your Father was contracted to Oceanus.
Oceanus deeply treasured your Father and even blessed him with his most powerful blessings. His water magic was unrivaled and his title of Slayer of Ten Thousand came from single-handedly killing 10,000 Devils by himself.
He was the wielder of Clarent once wielded by Mordred given to him by the Vatican for his great service. He just went missing 10 years ago. This explains some things. Jack, I need to speak to your Father.
I rather not have Jack Owens after my neck demanding I return his child."
Shemhazai nodded.
"I will go with you, we need to make sure there are no misunderstandings. Jack, would you speak on our behalf?"
Jack nodded.
"Of course, Dad needs to know this was my choice and not that I was forced."
Baraqiel felt the same.
"I will go too."
Without knowing it, Jack had just initiated a meeting between Jin, Saphire, Jack Sir, Esmeralda, Baraqiel, Azazel, and Shemhazai. Then again, Jack didn't think he did anything wrong. If anything his Father was keeping secrets and he wanted answers.
