Lense Legends Ep 6: i wish i was better
The scene pans to ulga whose in the same room as Theodore with her hand on his head rustling through his hair gently. She then lifts up his arm to look in his hand and then says.
Ulga: There's no doubt. You are him, you're Tommy.
The scene then shows a scar made by a knife in Theodore's hand. Ulga then rests his arm back down and looks at him thinking to herself.
Ulga: I wish we met under different circumstances. *slight beeping sounds from the heart monitor* i wish i could've seen you grow up...i wish I could of protected you. But i wasn't there and I hate myself for that. And i think he does too. *referring to Jonathan jones*
The scene then goes to a flashback of when ulga was 15 years old in a house with her parents celebrating her birthday.
Ulga internal monolog: it was supposed to be a special...that day. i would have blown out the candles and smile while stuffing my face with cake. But before i blew out the candles...it happened
Ulga then goes to blow out the candles with her head leaning down and as she was about to let out her breath she heard a blood curdling gushing crushed sound.
Ulga: being a naive child i thought that it was just a weird party popper but then i saw sunlight shining through the room which is weird because the door is supposed to be locked...so i looked up. And that's when i saw it. A giant foot standing on both my parents with they're bodies crushed and they're guts everywhere. Then the foot just casually lifted off as if the beast was just having a nice walk.....i screamed and i cried but even though i could feel myself screaming and could feel that i was in pain everything was silent...i couldn't hear myself and that only made it worse.
The scene then pans to a yung ulga walking through the aftermath of what the creature did to solstice Heights with whatever's left of her parents in her arms covered in blood murmuring with tears in her eyes.
Ulga: happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me.
The scene then shows soliders who are in a rescue team retrieving people from the aftermath of what the creature did to solstice Heights. And Jonathan even though he was basically considered royalty was helping aswell. As there helping people ulga's shattered eye's look in the direction of where the monster's now deceased corpse is with what appears to be a young rohan standing on top of it and while she's staring, a rescue soldier runs up to her.
Rescue soldier: little girl are you alr- *sees what she's holding in her hands and vomits* what the hell.
Rescue soldier 2: what is it did you find someone *runs over and sees the same thing but holds himself from vomiting* jesus christ.
Rescue soldier: it looks like she's also a survivor. Quick we have to get her to safety *tries to take what's left of her parents out of her hands*
But ulga starts fighting and screaming
Ulga: Nooo!! let go of mother and father please!! *tries to fight the soldier while holding to her parents*
Rescue soldier: listen kid you have to let go they're gone ok!!
Ulga's not letting go. The second soldier tries to step in but ulga's flailing around only makes it harder for them. But then someone walks up to them and tells the soldiers to stop the soldiers then see who it is and says.
Soldiers: mr. Jones
Jonathan: what's going on here
Rescue soldier: were trying to get this girl to safety but she's holding on to the pieces of her dead parents.
Jonathan: mmm *walks over to ulga who is still holding on to them staring at him aggressively*
Jonathan: girl....do you love your parents.
Ulga: yes. And your not taking them from me!! *she says angrily*
Jonathan: right and do you think your parents would want this.
Ulga: i-
Jonathan: do you think they'd want they're daughter carrying around they're dead bodies in her hands forever reminding her of how they died.
Ulga: no your wrong the-
Jonathan: cause I'm pretty sure no parent wants they're child to experience pain. So if you're doing this to yourself you're hurting your parents too just by doing it.
Ulga: but i *starts tearing up*
Jonathan then puts his hand on ulga's gently.
Jonathan: you have to let them go its what they would've wanted.
Ulga then slowly lets go of her parents while crying and Jonathan then lifts her up and starts walking away with her.
Rescue Soldier: wait sir but.
Jonathan: don't worry I'll bring her back myself you guys keep searching.
Soldiers: uh...yes sir
Jonathan then looks at ulga crying in his arms and says.
Jonathan: don't worry you're gonna be okay.
The scene then pans to a young ulga in an adoption angency, with the background being all white, sitting by herself on the edge of her bed watching the other kids and teens talk and engage with each other. Feeling that she would never get adopted ulga lowered her eyes as if accepting defeat.
Ulga's internal monolog: after i was rescued i was placed in an adoption center, seeing as how I am an orphan now. It turns out that the deity that attacked solstice Heights was traveling from afar with high speeds and the reason it even reached was because it was a semi advanced deity and unfortunately it was only the military lense wielder's who were there....they couldn't hold it back. I hate deities i always have ever since that day. But where i am now this wouldn't have happened without him.
The scene then pans to two people standing infront of a young and depressed ulga with her head down
Center worker: *places hand on ulga's shoulder* looks like it's your lucky day kid, your getting adopted after just a week. God must love you.
Ulga then looks up only to see Jonathan jones infront of her. As her eyes widened you could see glimmers of hope in them.
Jonathan: how's it going it kid. You ready to come home. *he says in a calming tone*
Ulga's internal monolog: on that day everything changed....everything.
The scene then pans to the inside of a mansion in the living area where ulga is introduced to tommy (Theodore) Jonathan's son and rachel Jonathan's wife
Young child: hey there I'm Tommy Jones and I'll be your little brother from now on Kay *the child says happily*
ulga: little...brother
Jonathan Jones: That's right ulga this little hyperactive chipmunk is my son and he'll be your little brother from now on so take care of him okay
Ulga: little.....brother *starts smiling*
Jonathan: and this is my lovely wife Rachel.
Rachel: aww hello little princess. Finally i can actually buy dresses for someone and see how they look on them. This is going to be so much fun.
Jonathan: *laughs* alright alright let's take it easy. *Jonathan's tone shifts to a softer one* anyway ulga this is your new family, so welcome home...my daughter.
Ulga's internal monolog: I felt at home, I felt at peace.....I had a family again. Before I even realized it we were acting like one too. I helped Jonathan with his work, Rachel bought me dresses and tried to spoil me, and even uncle Benjamin he was always a good time*chuckle*......and then there was you. We did almost everything together playing, reading, talking and even cooking. God You loved to cook, everytime someone was in the kitchen you'd run to help we'd call you our little chef, but you hated it *smile* you were only 6 years old back then and very short. When we were cooking in the kitchen one night asked you what did you want to be when you grow up, I was surprised when you said doctor cause I thought you were going to say chef.
Ulga:Tommy
Tommy: mhm
Ulga: what do you want to be when you grow up. *while washing dishes*
Tommy: oh a doctor *while standing on a stool throwing salt into the pot and stirring*
Ulga: doctor? I thought you wanted to be a chef.
Tommy: Nope. Doctor *he says happily*
Ulga: *chuckles* ok but becoming a doctor takes hard work so you have to work harder ok.
Tommy: of course i will. Wait were you just doubting me *shows a cute pouty face*
Ulga: whaaaaaaaat nooooooooo.....maybe.
Tommy: *grumbles* Tommy attack!!! *he throws himself at ulga knocking her down*
Tommy: *laughs*
Ulga: *laughs*
Ulga's internal monolog: life was good..... Eventually i signed up for Leviathan because i wanted to kill deities and save people. Then slowly i started to climb the ranks and through training and struggling i was selected as a candidate to become a superior lense wielder. But when i told Jonathan, he was worried. When your selected to become a superior lense wielder the integration process is deadly, candidates only have a 5 - 10 percent survival rate *screaming in the background* i did it anyway. They say it's because the deities are trying to fight back....and it was true. When i sat down in that chair and they started the process i saw it...while i was in pain i heard it.....laughing.
Diety: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha well well well this is a suprise. You have the same blood as the insects i stepped in that day how funny...ha ha ha ha
Ulga: *continues to scream in pain as the integration process continues*
Diety: very well then i shall make you suffer more by forcing you to accept me.....ulga Ramonii.
Ulga: nooooo!!!!!
Diety: *laughs villainously*
The integration process then stopped. Ulga was knocked out with tears in her eyes. .....she survived. When she woke up Tommy, Jonathan, Benjamin and rachel we're in the medic bay with her. Jonathan and Rachel were asleep on each other But Tommy was awake.
Ulga: t...t....Tommy is that you
Tommy: ulga your awake. Your alive!.
Ulga: yes so it seems *looks over at Jonathan, Benjamin and Rachel* they're out cold....just how long was I asleep three no....maybe...four days.
Tommy: *starts punching ulga*
Ulga: ow Tommy what are you doing. Stop, that hurts you know you sh-
Tommy: why *stops punching ulga and grips her shirt with his tiny hands*
Ulga: Tommy what are y-
Tommy: WHY!! Tell me why you did it *starts crying* you knew you could've died and you agreed to do it! Tell me why do you hate us now or something.
Ulga: Tommy please stop crying, listen you just don't understand it's because my family-
Tommy: we are your family! Can't you see that we care about you! Can't you see that we love! If you died then you wouldn't get to see me become a doctor and i would hate myself cause I'd think I wasn't strong enough to be your little brother cause i couldn't stop you from killing yourself.
Ulga: ........Tommy
Tommy: *starts crying slowly while abruptly catching his breath* I...I.....don't want my big sister to die.....and you could've and just thinking about that hurts-
Ulga: *hugs Theodore* I'm sorry *hugs him tighter* I'm so sorry *starts tearing up*
Tommy and ulga both cry in each other's arms and then rachel woke up seeing them
Rachel: *yawns* *slowly opens eyes* aahhhhhh! My baby! *quickly runs over and grabs Theodore and lifts him up* what happened are you hurt *stares at ulga angrily* ulga did you do something.
Ulga: what no I just uhh.
Tommy: it's okay mom I'm fine *starts wiping tears away from face*
Rachel: are you sure dear.
Tommy: yep *smiles*
Rachel: good *smiles*
Rachel then puts him down and runs over to ulga.
Rachel: oh ulga I'm so glad your alright *she says happily*
Ulga: um yes of course *smiles awkwardly while looking nervous*
Ulga internal monolog: wow that switch up was crazy
Jonathan: *wakes up* whuh huh.....what happened did I miss something *sees ulga*
Oh hey ulga.......wait........ULGA YOUR ALIVE!!!
everyone then starts laughing.
Jonathan: wait what's so funny.....I Don get it.
Benjamin: *who was never sleeping all along* *chuckles* you dumbass I swear.
Ulga's internal monolog: on that day I decided to change my goal I was no longer driven by vengeance or bloodlust....the only thing I wanted to do was keep my family safe. After about three years I became the fourth Ranked Superior on the round and I'd be lying If I didn't say I felt a little proud of myself. Then I would go back home and enjoy being around my family and being around you Tommy.....I was happy.....for a time at least.
The scene then pans to ulga walking through the streets of solstice Heights with a cake in a bag to celebrate Tommy's tenth birthday looking happy.
Ulga: there was a saying...that says, if the devil shows up to you're show and laughs then he'll come back a second time........we'll I guess he laughed at mine
