Angela stood before her daughter's sick bed, tears streaming down her face ..
Her young girl's vegetative state caused pain to creep into the depths of her heart, yet there was nothing she could do to save her daughter....
" Not even Haruka can save her..." She sighed, thinking back to the monster who had turned her daughter into this piece of....
" Huh....he's dead now" She turned to look at her son, who's face was still glued to her feet ..
He was unable to stare directly at her..
He was scared of her... The usually dotting mother who had never laid a hand on him had hit him so hard on that day that he almost died ..
Angela sighed... Her motherly love kicked in ,tears streamed down her face,as she hugged her seventeen year old son tightly...
She whimpered " I'm sorry my boy... I'm sorry... That I intervened too late .. I allowed your father to spoil you and ruin you, and I did nothing.... However I had no other choice but to set you straight on that day, fuck knows our family would be in ruins by now had I not done anything... You had to learn that the world doesn't revolves around us..."
Duke's head was still glued to the floor,tears streaming down his face .... His voice ,choked with fear, was barely audible..
" Do you think Viper will forgive me...?.. After all I did to him?"
His mother held his chin and looked him in the eye... " My dear boy, if he wanted you dead, you'd be gone by now... To him, you barely exist .. You sre insignificant to him... And don't ever think of seeking revenge in the future... You will only get yourself killed... Wisdom is to know your limitations ,so that you don't make enemies of people you can only stand behind and serve... Take care of your sister, whiles I'm gone..."
Angela Michealson hugged his son one more time ,then kissed the forehead of her vegetative daughter...
Before she left the room, she sighed one more time " Eat your Korean noodles before it gets cold .... I heard their noodles are great..."
" Yes mum"... Duke replied,as his mum left the room..
He stared endlessly into the moon whose light was peering through the windows, then sighed " to think someone I looked down on and bullied, would stand at humanity's peak .... "... He chuckled ingratiatingly, then added " I suppose I wish I could predict the future, if I could , I probably would have treated him well .."

Hugo stared at the figure that had given him a home and made him his family....
The figure seemed tall and insurmountable,as though he could overcome all hurdles that would be launched at him...
The gigantic shadow dragon on whose back he stood made him look more domineering....
The dragon flapped it's wing, causing his figure to disappear...
" Big bro, I promise you that I will repay your kindness with my loyalty to you.. I may not be useful to you very much now... But hopefully that won't remain the case when I awaken...

Erindor stood at the back of the shadow dragon ,traversing through the skies...
The warm summer winds at high altitudes braced his face, however he ignored them, glancing at the sight below...
Cities and sky scrapers now seemed like dots... oceans seemed like a canvas weaved on a map... Erindor now saw that earth seemed...so small...
" Is the world so small?... Speaking of which... now that I think about it... That old man who gave me the time dilation artifact is too powerful to be from earth ... I don't really care about who he is and I dont intend on wasting my time trying to even bother to find out, but the key thing to note here is that if a being that could just hand a heavenly defying artifact like that to someone else nonchalenty and even call it useless to him exists, then there are definitely hidden wonders in the universe that earthlings are yet to discover... Perhaps... If possible,maybe I could explore the vast universe..."..
At this time, Erindor didn't know that in a short time to come, he would realize that his thoughts were spot on concerning how vast the universe is... and that realization, would plant a certain desire in his heart, that would cause many quake in fear and awe at his presence in years to come in the vast universe...
" Let's focus on what's before us now .." Erindor subdued his thoughts, traversing the skies at unimaginable speeds... His compass towards the sea of Japan was the shadow scout he had sent to the sea of Japan ....
" It seems I'm almost there...."

Intelligence department of the World Government...
" Sir .. the satellites on the moon are picking a signal of President Thorne... It seems he's heading towards, the sea of Japan ...?" A pretty woman in geeky glasses boasting a volumptous physique spake, as she glanced at the holographic scene playing before her... Her voice was directed towards a middle aged man with white hair and dark eyes....
" It...sounds absurd ..but ..it... seems the president wants to launch an attack on those S ranked demonic beasts in the sea of Japan ...alone.. ..." The man in a black suit responded with a bewildered expression on his face ...
The woman revealed a shocked expression " Should I broadcast it sir..?"
The head of the intelligence department of the world government , Stephen Gawker, finally responded, his eyes telling a tale of someone with sharp instincts " Yes .. the world must see what is about to happen... I don't know why, but I have a feeling that this new president is not simple.... He may be a teenager, but he does not act like one... He doesn't seem impulsive to do anything he's not confident in .. Of the two times he had appeared on the battlefield .. he can only be described with three words ..vicious , overpowering and decisive ..... I have a feeling that he has not even revealed the tiniest portion of his strength to the world yet... Perhaps, whatever he might manage to pull of today ..., will stirr the hearts of people, and provide hope to humanity "
" Very well sir... Time to hack all digital platforms... even ants will probably be able to witness something grand today... Your instincts have always been spot on"... The woman with a geeky spectacle responded..
" No ..my instincts as sharp as they may be, failed to recognize that Vincent Michealson was a traitor to humanity who had us all fooled... But ..let's hope I'm right about the president of the world government ..for the sake of us all..because if he falls today , we may as well end our own lives before the demonic beasts get to us.."
