Chapter 1: A hero's start

Werewolves, Aliens, Vampires, Yokai, Gods, Zombies, and Dragons. Most people think that they aren't real. Well, those who think that haven't been into the future yet. My name's Damus, and I live in this world. In the year 2077, a lycan by the name of Richard Adapin brought monsters out of the world of the humans.

At first, there was this big war going on, but Richard formed a peace treaty with the world's leaders. Then he met Jena who was a Xaran, an alien from the 5th dimension, who also formed peace between aliens and humans. They eventually fell in love, married, and settled down in a small house in a massive yet quiet forest. How do I know all of this? Well....I'm their son, Damus Adapin.

At the age of four, I was inspired by the things they did, so I wanted to make my own legacy. And my parents were completely fine with that. You may think it's irresponsible, but when you inherit both of your parents' immortality, there's not much to worry about. My parents trained me to use my powers as well, honing my Lycan and Xaran abilities in order to use them. My dad taught me to fight monsters, live in harsh environments, and how to use Karate, ninjutsu, and wolf style Kung fu. My mom taught me to use zen, Fire, electricity, psychic energy, and a whole lot more powers I've unlocked. I was also home schooled by my parents. They taught me a lot about math, reading, writing, history, and more things. By the time I've reached 15 a couple of months ago, me and my parents thought I was ready to explore the world.

Today, was a pretty cold day outside, but I thought I could handle it as long as I wear my favorite jacket, which was one my mom made for me. But before I went out of the door, my mom grabbed by the shoulder and turned me around.

"Mom? What are y-", then my mom interrupted me by hugging me tightly. While I was a little surprised, I hugged back as well. I think the hug lasted about a minute before she let go. "Don't forget your supplies", she said happily. She gave me a large black rucksack filled with some food, clothes, a sleeping bag, a tent, and much more things. Then, my dad came in from his weapons room, where he like to create different weapons. "Son...What do you think that your purpose might be own your journey?", he said with a happy, but slightly serious tone.

I thought about this question hard, but I couldn't think of anything. Then, I stopped when I heard my dad chuckled. "Don't worry about it. You'll find it soon.", he replied. Then, he gave me three things: The first thing was a sword with a curved, single-edged blade with blue sheath next to it. The second were white gauntlets covered in armor. The third were some kunai with diamond tipped blades. I was surprised at first, but then I smiled.

"Be careful, Damus", my dad exclaimed. I replied with a excited nod. Then, I place the katana, gauntlets, and kunai by my waist, and began to walk out the door. "Bye, son!" my mom yelled, as my Dad waved. I waved back and smiled before turning around, and walking away. I realized that this was the start of my journey.

After a few weeks of traveling, it was honestly pretty fun. Protecting people, fighting monsters, discovering treasure, and more stuff, but those didn't stop me from thinking about what my dad said to me. What was the purpose of my journey? Either way, it was nighttime and I was searching for a cave to stay in until morning.

Suddenly, I heard something coming towards me. I looked straight ahead with my right hand on my sword, ready to fight. But as I narrowed my eyes, I saw a boy my age, with brown ears, green hair, green eyes, and green clothing. It looked like he was running from something. Too bad he wasn't looking where he was going.

"Wait! Stop!", I yelled, but it was too late. He crashed into me, sending us both tumbling towards the ground, until we were stopped by a boulder, which for some reason, was also sent tumbling. We both began to stand up and dust ourselves. "Are you OK?", he asked. "Yeah. Just be careful next time.", I replied. "Sorry. I really need to look where I'm going.", he said. "No problem. So what's your name?", I asked. "Zephyr Tomoyuki. Nice to meet you.", he responded. "Name's Damus Adapin.", I replied. Then, I noticed his round, large tail. "What species are you?" I asked. "I'm a tanuki. And you must be a werwolf, right?"

I replied with a simple nod. Then I remembered something. "Why were you running?" I asked. He began to look around the area before saying anything.

"I'll tell you in a minute. I know where we can find a cave to stay in." he said, which was ironic since I was looking for a cave to begin with. A few minutes after our encounter, we arrive at a large, almost endless cave, with bats hanging from the top of it. I began to set up a tent as Zephyr set up the campfire, which we sat around. "So...why were you running?", I asked again. "It's a long story. I doubt you would care", he replied. "Actually I like listening to stories. My mom and dad tell me about theirs." I said. "OK, then. If you want to...I'll tell you", Zephyr agreed.

Chapter 2: New Bonds

"So a few years ago, I was living with a friend of my parents named Kosami, but I preferred to call her Ms. K. Ever since the day my parents died in a war, she took care of me." Then, I began to ask Zephyr a question.

"So what was your relationship like with her?"

"Well, she was more than a mother figure to me. She was a teacher and a friend." He concluded."

"Oh...Well, what happened?"

"Some gang called the Sapphire Vipers kept harassing us because they wanted money. Then, they went and took Ms. K, and burned her house. And now they're looking for me too." He replied. I was shocked by this.

"What?!" I exclaimed. The force of my voice was enough to shake the entirety of the forest that we were in. Zephyr covered his ears in pain. "Oh, sorry." I quoted. I didn't mean to shout, but I was kinda upset by this.

"No Worries. As long as they don't-" Then Zephyr was interrupted by several large lights in our direction. The lights were bright enough to turn the cave we were in into a rock stage. "Oh, crap." He sighed, while I was completely oblivious to what was going on. Then, I heard someone talking, and it sounded feminine.

"Well, well, well...Look at what we have here..." She said. When I looked up, I saw that the voice came from a tall woman with dark blue hair, tan skin, purple eyes, and she was wearing purple clothing. She also had a dozen of her lackeys wearing the same clothes and riding trucks. "Wait. Who are you?" I asked in a calm way.

"My name's Lazarus, leader of the Sapphire Vipers. And who are you?" She commanded. "My Name's Damus Adapin," I replied. She thought about my name for a minute, then began to ask another question. "Are you a werewolf?" I simply just nodded. "Your name sounds familiar. I just can't put my finger on it" She stare at me to find her answer, but she couldn't find it. Then, she stopped and shrugged her shoulders. "Doesn't matter right now. I'm just gonna take you both and use you as slaves anyways." Lazarus' gang started laughing with malice at that idea. Zephyr look in shock at first, then turned towards me. His shock turned into confusion as he saw me chuckling at what she said. Lazarus and her gang began to look confused too.

"What's so funny?" They both said. I simply replied by pulling out the katana my dad made. "Make me your slave? Don't make me laugh. Even if there's a hundred of you, I could still destroy you. So leave Zephyr alone, cause I'm not saying it again." I smirked as I pointed my sword towards the gang leader. As I said that, the entire place was silent. After what felt like a minute passed, Lazarus and her gang broke on in a fit of laughter. It was kind of annoying, but I stood my ground, with Zephyr behind me, also ready to fight. As soon as the laughter stopped, Lazarus snapped her fingers, making her lackeys run towards us. They were armed with knives, chains, and guns, but I honestly wasn't phased. I looked at Zephyr, who look back at me with a little distress.

"About Ms.K...Did she teach you to fight?" I asked. "She did teach me to control the Earth. And to use nun-chucks." Zephyr commented. I looked back at the gang members, as one of them threw a chain, ready to hit me in the face. Before the chain could touch me, I sliced it into pieces faster than any human could see. Everyone was surprised by this, while I just said, "Let's do this." I moved behind the gang member who attacked me, and knocked him out with a finger to the neck. Then, another one shot at me with a gun.

My dad said to always look out for silver bullets. Luckily, they weren't silver, so they bounce off of me. I walked towards the gunsmith, until I was just a foot away, which was when he ran out out of bullets. He looked terrifed as his threw his gun away and pulled out a knife. Then knife made contact with my head, but it breaks on contact. Before he could back away, I knocked him out with a punch to the stomach. As he fell to the ground, I looked towards Zephyr, who was also easily dispatching the Lazarus' gang. He created pillars of stone to throw them away, made quicksand to trap them, and formed walls of stone to push them away. They were being knocked out with ease.

I was amazed by this, and so was Lazarus. "What?" she exclaimed. Zephyr's skills were amazing, but I couldn't just watch. I began to use my own powers as well. "Psycho...Smash!" I began to unleash a powerful shockwave, which not knocks out the other lackeys that were left, but knocks Zephyr and Lazarus on their backs. It also vaporizes the cave we were in. I put my hand behind my head. "Oops. My bad." Lazarus gets back up and sees her entire gang defeated. She looks shocked, but regains her composure and walks away.

"The money for this isn't worth it." She said. Zephyr and I looked on in confusion. "What money?" Zephyr asked. "Haven't ya heard? Lord Kryosis wants to use absorb the power out of your race, and other strong races." As he heard this, Zephyr's eyes turned white, while I looked on, perplexed on who that is. But I could say anything, she ran off. Then, I turned to a worried Zephyr.

"Huh? What's wrong? Is this Kryosis guy that scary?" I asked him this, but it took a while for him to calm down. "Sorry. I just that Kryosis is one of the most dangerous beings in the galaxy. He's conquered thousands of worlds and decimated a thousand more worlds. He's....unstoppable."

I was bewildered that any man could have a reputation of such caliber. But, I just smiled and held my hand out to pick him up. He looked in amazement. "Unstoppable, huh? I don't believe that load of crap. We will beat him, no matter what!" I explained to him. A few seconds of silence passed before he smiled back and grabbed my hand.

"So, wanna be friends. I'm gonna need help." I asked him. He smiled in a affirmative way. I picked him up off the ground and we began to walk out of the forest"

"Where are we going?" he began to request. I simply responded by saying "Wherever the world takes us, friend."

Chapter 3: The Dragon's fire

After Zephyr and I became friends, he told me about the floating city of Atmos, which contained a weapon that could help defeat Kryosis. We arrived in the middle of a quiet and peaceful field. "So what does this sword do exactly?" I requested. "Well, it's supposed to be a divine weap-", then Zephyr was interrupted by a loud cry, which startled us both.

"What the heck?!" Zephyr exclaimed. "It came from there!" I ran towards the origin of the sound, with Zephyr right behind me. When we reach the source of the sound, we were surprised to find a girl trying to get off the ground. She had long red hair, dark pink eyes, and was wearing pink clothing. I walked up to her in order to help her up, but when she saw Zephyr and me, she tried to run away but fell down again.

"Don't worry. We're not going to hurt you." I explained to her. She was still scared, but she eventually let me get close enough to check if she was OK. When I touched her right foot, she flinched a bit. "Your foot...what happened?" I asked her, but she was too scared to talk. Then, Zephyr moved to the other side of the girl and softly put his hands on her foot. I was a little confused until I saw green energy come out of his hands. A few seconds after he was done, she began to stand up. "You can use healing?", I asked.

"Yeah. It's an ability that Tanukis have. I don't use it on myself though, because I can heal my body naturally" he explained. "Makes sense. I can heal pretty fast too, so I won't need it." After I told Zephyr that, I turned my attention towards Alana, who was still a little nervous. So, I went to greet her properly. "Hi! My name's Damus Adapin. And this is Zephyr Tomoyuki. What's your name?"

She was quiet for a pretty long time before she began to talk. "A-Alana.", she muttered. It was quiet, but we could hear it anyways. "Well, nice to meet you!" I replied. To be honest, from the entire time I met this girl, I knew she was important in some way.

As soon as it reached nightfall, we set up camp in a grassland. Zephyr went out to find some more firewood, while I sat with Alana. It was pretty quiet with no one talking, and I thought she was shy because she didn't have her friends around, so I tried to break the silence. I tapped her shoulder to get her attention.

"It's OK. You can talk to me if you want to. I like talking to new friends."

"F-friends? I...don't have any friends...", she stuttered. I was a little surprised by this but also relieved that she was opening up a bit. "Why didn't you have any?" I asked. "Well...my dad was overprotective. I could barely go outside," she said. I could understand why her dad felt like that, due to the world being so crazy after all, but I also felt sad about being unable to make connections with the world around you. Heck, I lived in the middle of a forest, and yet I could meet my other family members at least a month or two. I held her hand, closed my eyes, and started to talk again.

"I and Zephyr can be your friends. And I promise that we will protect you. Always." I proclaimed to her. When I opened my eyes again, I realized that she was blushing hard. Then, I started blushing and let go of her hand. I thought I did something embarrassing, so I kind of started freaking out.

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! I was just promising to be your friend and I didn't realize that-" when suddenly I was interrupted by a peck on the cheek. I turned to Alana who smiled happily. "It's OK. You didn't mean it. You're one of the nicest people I've ever meet." She said this as she blushed again. I never thought I would see someone who was that adorable. She looked like a beautiful goddess. She began to make me blush as well.

"Oh, you think so?" But before, she could answer, we both heard Zephyr come back with the firewood. "Oh, hey Zephyr. You're back."

"Hey, guys. What did I miss?", Zephyr asked. "Nothing much.", I answered. Then, Zephyr dropped the wood into the campfire and walked towards Alana. "So, what was your last name again?" Zephyr asked her.

"Oh. It's Viaren." she exclaimed. Then, we both look surprised. "As in, you're the daughter of King Viaren of the Zekya Empire? I knew you reminded me of someone.", I stated as both Zephyr and Alana looked in confusion. "My dad says he knows him", I explained to them.

"Well, it'll be kinda hard to meet him after Kryosis attacked.", she told me and Zephyr. "You too? Some gang that works for him took my adoptive guardian.", Zephyr told her.

"Dang. Well, that just leaves more reason to beat him.", I exclaimed, which surprises Alana. "Wait. You're actually going to face him?", she asked.

"Not yet. First, we need to find this divine sword Zephyr was talking about. Then, we need to train to get stronger. I know it sounds dumb and impossible, but the world evolved from impossibility. We those who wanna to do right team up, we can do anything!"

There was moment of silence at first, then they both smiled. "Why are you like this all the time?", Zephyr asked. "I dunno. I think it comes from my dad." I declared. "Well, your dad must be an amazing person.", Alana said.

"Either way, it's time to get some rest.", Zephyr said. "Yeah, you're right.", I stated. Zephyr blew out of the fire, and all of us went inside the tent I had, and began to go to sleep.

Chapter 4: Thunder Part 1

Even though I wanted to face off against Kryosis and save the galaxy, it wasn't bad having friends around. Even though Zephyr wanted to get Ms.K back, he was happy to have met me and Alana, and he told jokes to pass the time. And while Alana was shy, she was actually pretty nice and sweet once she began to open up. After we have breakfast, we began to travel north to Atmos. That is until we found a deserted city in our path. Buildings were destroyed, statues were decimated, and cars were crushed. I began to think about what went wrong in the area.

"The heck happened here?", I wondered. Zephyr and Alana were confused themselves. Then, I began to notice the powerful energy that was behind them. I turned around and saw a mere blur at the last second. I pull out my sword, which surprises Alana and Zephyr. "The heck's up with you, Damus?", Zephyr asked. "Something else is still here...", I announced.

After that, I saw the blur again, but it went past a building. I thought it was too fast for Zephyr and Alana to keep up with, so I thought had to face it myself. "Zephyr! Create a barrier around you and Alana!", I commanded.

"What about you?", Alana asked. "I'll be fine. Your lives are what's important right now. ", I stated. Alana was about to say something else, but Zephyr made a barrier that interrupted her. Now, it was just me and the unknown attacker. He moved around me a few times, like a Tiger ready to pounce on his prey. Little did it know, I was ready to fight. As it to attack me, I grab it's arm and threw it into a tree. But, when the assailant showed its face, I notice that it wasn't a monster or assassin, but another teen. He looked to be slightly above my age. He had blonde hair, yellow eyes, a torn yellow t-shirt, tattered black jeans, and a very angry look on his face.

"Who are you? And why did you try and attack us?", I asked. "My name is none of your business, and you're on my turf. None one gets on my turf and gets out in one piece.", he explained in an edgy matter. He looked like the guy who wasn't going to budge without a reason, so I try to reason with him.

"Look man, I don't know what happened, but me and my friends were just going to this city a couple of miles from here, so let us pass.", I asked him. Then, I saw him growl in rage. "You think I'm an idiot, huh? I'm not going to let another one of Kryosis' minions mess up this place again!", he yelled. I was confused about what he said, but it seemed that he didn't want to let me and my friends pass.

"Still dunno what you're going on about, but if I have to fight you, I will.", I told him. He simply replied by pulling out a sword of his own, which had Electricity coursing through it. It surprised me a bit, but then I gave out a little smirk. Even though he was being serious, I was excited to fight against someone with great power.

The world began to go silent at first. Suddenly, both of us began to move towards each other at speeds no normal human could comprehend. I could barely keep up with how many times our swords clashed in the first few seconds. I was surprised that he could keep up.

"Fire Fist!", I unleashed a powerful punch that sent him flying into a tree, but while he regains his footing and lands on the tree, it vaporizes on contact, along with several other trees and rocks, due to the mere shockwaves of his landing. "Electric Kick!" I began my next attack, but my opponent jumped away from it with no visible effort whatsoever. As he began to use one of his own, he begins to ask me something.

"You can use Electricity too?", he asked. As I thought about his question for a second, I heard him yell out, "THUNDERBOLT!", which had me surprised a bit. When I looked up in the air, a Lightning bolt appeared. I began to move to the side, and I dodge the attack, with the lightning strike mere inches away from my face.

Then, I noticed more bolts homing in on me. I began to dodge and outrun them as well, while also heading for him. As soon as I got close, he stopped attacking me with lightning and our blades clashed again. "You're annoying...", he told me. "I was just asking to go around, but you won't let us.", I replied.

We kept battling, causing the already destroyed area around us to explode. "Blazing Bomb!" I unleashed a powerful blue fireball that damages the blonde fighter and sends him backwards. Then, I put my sword away, put on the Aurora Gauntlets, and ran towards him. As he got up, I unleashed a blazing combo, delivering multiple punches and kicks covered with elemental energy. With one last kick, I sent him flying into several boulders until he crashed into the ground.

I stopped my assault and stood there, as the blonde haired fighter began to stand up again. He started coughing up blood. Maybe I should have held back. I began to walk towards him to make sure he wasn't severely hurt.

"Are you Ok-", when suddenly I was stopped by him shouting at the top of his lungs. Then, he put both of his hands together in a gun like position, and began to charge another attack. I was too close to get away from it, and it looked like it was going to be a pretty big attack. "Penatrator...GUN!!!!!", a enormous blast was shot out of his fingers, hitting me point blank.

As the smoke clears, I noticed that he was smiling. "Looks like you're not alive anymore.", he declared as he stared at the top half of my body, which was reduced to a blackened skeleton. But then, he noticed that I started to heal. After a minute, I was back to normal. "What?! How?!", he exclaimed.

"Healing factor.", was the only thing I said. I began to get serious and so did he. This was the final part of our battle.

Chapter 5: Thunder Part 2

Our punches smashed into each other causing massive shockwaves and earthquakes. We were causing an immense amount of destruction and mayhem. Our movements made lightning seem like a snail in comparison. We ignored the pain of when we punched each other in the face dozens of times. We bothq began to tire each other out.

"Just...give up already", I exclaimed, tired from the fight. "No...I will beat you.", he said back, while also tired. He just wouldn't stop, so I had to end this one way or the other. I began to go into a charging position and began to power up. As he saw what I was doing, he charged up his fist for a devastating blow.

"Blazing...Lightning...BURST!!!!"

"Light...FIST!!!!"

We both rammed into each other at the speed of light and as we collided, a white light appeared in front of us, engulfing us both and the area around us. Then, everything was dark for some reason. Was I dead? Did the white light blind me? Either way, there was nothing but a pitch-black void.

Zephyr's POV

Ever since Damus told me to make that shield, I was wondering who was he fighting and why was he so dangerous. Alana and I heard nothing but the sounds of explosions. Then, it suddenly stopped. Did Damus lose? Did he win? I began to uncover the shield that was protecting me and Alana. Then, I was shocked. Everything, from the broken buildings to the dozens of acres of forest around us was vaporized.

"Hey! Look over there!", Alana shouted, There I saw Damus and a blonde kid like us passed put on the ground. How could both of them cause such massive chaos? I never thought that I would ever see such power and strength before. They seemed to be at a league of their own. "We need to heal them", I exclaimed. Alana replied with a nod. I carried them both on a slab of stone with my Earth control, and Alana followed behind me. Why did this guy in yellow attack us? I thought after healing him, I could ask him, though I might need to wait a few hours.

4 hours later

Damus' POV

I felt nothing but a cold, bitter freeze and saw nothing but pitch-black darkness that looked like it stretched out for miles. I thought that I could never escape until I saw a small light, which only grew bigger by the second. Suddenly, I could see the world again. And the first things I noticed was that I was in my tent and Alana and Zephyr was watching me.

"What happened?", I asked. But before I could get an answer, Alana hugged me out of nowhere. I saw that she was upset like she thought that I was dead. She let go of me after hugging me for what felt like hours. I knew how she felt. She and Zephyr wanted to protect me, as I would do for them. "I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you.", I said to her.

"It's OK. I just didn't want you to get hurt.", she explained. "You didn't need to worry about me. I mean, I was a skeleton a while ago and healed from it like it was nothing.", I told her. She looked in surprise, while Zephyr looked confused. "Weird. I've never heard of a werewolf being able to heal like that before." Zephyr responded.

"Well, I...", I was going to explain before all three of us saw that the blonde kid was waking up. I was honestly surprised by this. "You brought him here too?", I asked. As he saw me staring right back at him, he thought he lost. He let out a grimace.

"So what now? Since I lost and you kept me alive, you must want me as your slave or something.", he said. I was getting annoyed by this guy's edgy attitude. "Dude, no. No one wants you as a slave. The heck happened to you to make you act like this?"

He stared down at the ground for a moment. Then, Zephyr began to speak. "Kryosis attack your home too, huh?", he declared to the blonde kid. He stared back at Zephyr, then he looked down and clenched his fist.

"What's your name?", Zephyr asked. Everyone was waiting silently for an answer. "Bolt. Bolt Arriaga.", he finally replied. "Well, if it makes you feel better, we're going to that city to find a weapon to destroy Kryosis", I explained to him.

"What weapon?", Bolt asked. "We're looking for this mystic sword in a floating city a few miles from here.", I answered. Then, Bolt stood up and stare at me. I was confused at what he was doing.

"I'll help you. But once we get to Kryosis, I will be the one to kill him. No exceptions.", He commanded. I wasn't too sure about his request at first, but I wanted to help everyone, so I went and shook his hand. "I promise that you will get your wish.", I responded. When I stopped shaking his hand, he walk out of the tent. When I followed, I saw that dozens of acres of forest was gone. There wasn't a tree, rock, or even a blade of grass standing.

"Wow. We did this?", I asked. Zephyr and Alana just nodded. "I know a shortcut about a mile northwest from here. We'll make it in a few minutes if we all run there.", Bolt proclaimed.

"Well, what are we waiting for?", Zephyr stated before running towards the direction of the shortcut, with me, Bolt, and Alana right behind him.

Chapter 6: Phone Call

After a few minutes of running, we all finally made it to the Floating city of Atmos...well, almost. It was floating high in the sky, like literally in the clouds high. I was confused about how everyone was going to get up there.

"So... how are we all going to get up there?", I asked. "What do you mean?", Zephyr asked as he ripped a large piece of the earth under him off the ground and started floating towards the city. Then Bolt simply summoned a cloud to ride on, as he was standing on it with his arms crossed, head down, and eyes closed. Next, I saw that Alana suddenly summoned wings from her back and flew up. As they reached the top, I was in awe of their abilities, but I knew I had to reach the top as well.

I had a few ways of reaching the city, but I thought I could take a simpler approach. I crouched down for a minute, then jumped up into the air, with enough to create a crater and launch me up dozens of feet higher than where the city was standing. Then, I started to quickly descend on the city. Luckily before I crashed, I used telekinesis to catch myself, and land right next to the others.

"Did you have to so extreme?", Zephyr asked, in which I just shrugged at the question. Then I heard a ringing sound that alerted everyone else as well. I noticed that it was coming out of my on of the pockets in my pants.

"You have a phone?", Zephyr asked. I didn't know how that got there. "I didn't know.", I told him. Zephyr face palmed himself before reaching for the circular phone in my pocket. He opened it up and saw why it was ringing. He gave it back to me.

"You have a call. Press the green button.", Zephyr told me. As I did that, a picture of my parents shown up on the screen. "Hey there son!", my dad said. I was surprised.

"DAD?! MOM?!", I shouted, confusing everyone. "Sorry about that. Anyways, how have you been?", my mom asked. Before I could answer, Zephyr and Alana were looking at who were talking to me, and they were surprised.

"Your father is Richard Adapin?!", Zephyr and Alana exclaimed. This catches Bolt's interest as he watched from a few feet away. "Yeah, he's my dad.", I exclaimed.

"The Richard Adapin, who discovered tons of lost treasures, saved the world twice, and convinced humans, monsters, and Aliens to live together, is your dad?", Zephyr asked again. My mom and dad just laughed.

"I didn't know that this new generation knew me. It's nice.", my dad exclaimed. I just sighed as Zephyr and Alana kept looking in awe.

"Anyway, what are you doing right now, son?", my dad asked. "Nothing much, just finding a mystical sword to beat this warlord named Kryosis.", I shrugged, which surprises him a bit.

"You're talking about that guy who goes around taking over dozen of planets? I don't know if he'll be that much of a challenge. In fact, if I was in my prime, all it would take is a simple punch." My dad was pretty overconfident(Heck, I was too), but under that smile he had, he seemed serious about his power.

"Ok, dad. But I want to do this journey myself, ok?", I smirked mockingly. He smiled proudly before looking over towards my friends. "Hey Jena. Don't Damus' friends look familiar to you?" he asked my mom. She looked closer, then had a realization.

"Alana and Zephyr? What are you doing here?", she said in confusion. "How do you know us?", Zephyr asked.

"We were friends with your parents and Kosami. What happened to them?", my dad responded. "They were taken by Kryosis, and now were going to get them back.", I told them. "Interesting. But I have one more question before we go Damus." my dad said with a stern voice.

"What is it? Some new training?", I said, but my dad shook his head. "Are you and Alana...you know...?", he replied. It took a minute for me and Alana to think about it, and when we figure it out, our faces turned red.

"DAD!!!! Seriously?!?!", I yelled, embarrassed at his comment. He and mom laughed at our reaction. "I'm sorry, I was joking. See ya later, cub!", then he ended the call. Why does he always mess with me like this?

While I was still embarrased, I put my phone in my back into my pocket. Then, I heard Zephyr trying to hold back his own laughter and Alana covering her cherry red face. Bolt was the only one not showing any emotions. He began to walk into a temple in the middle of the city as signaled us to follow.

"Time to go, everyone.", I said, and we all went behind Bolt into the temple to find the sword. Hopefully, whatever challenges in this temple are better than that phone call I had.
