Chapter 12: The Family Chat

It had only been a few days since Sanny Santos had arrived in this world, but so much had already happened. Between the battle that revealed his powerful Imagination Grimoire, his exhausting day of labor, and the realization that the Magic Knight Entrance Exam was fast approaching, it was enough to make anyone's head spin. Yet, as he sat under the canopy of stars that night, staring up into the heavens, a single thought occupied his mind: his family.

The realization still seemed surreal. His parents and siblings were not just out there—they were scattered across different anime worlds, each living a life that Sanny could only imagine. The events had unfolded so fast after his wish. Now, through some twist of fate, they had been Isekai'ed, just like him. It felt like a dream, something out of the anime he used to watch back on Earth.

Sanny opened his grimoire, flipping through its pages until he found what he was looking for. There, etched in ancient magical script, was a spell he had discovered earlier—the "Family Bond Chat." It was a form of magical communication that transcended worlds, connecting him to his family through this unique chat. He focused his mana and activated the spell.

One by one, the names appeared in glowing letters before him:

Sky - Ophis (High School DxD)

Sid - Aizen (Bleach)

Sal - Gilgamesh (Fate)

Sam - Goku (Dragon Ball)

Maria - Kaguya (Naruto)

Samuel - Zoro (One Piece)

His heart swelled with a mix of relief and excitement. They were alive, thriving even, in worlds they had only dreamed about. He couldn't help but smile, though a pang of longing tugged at him. He missed them—each one.

Suddenly, the chat came alive with Sky's usual casual greeting. She, now in the form of Ophis, was always the first to reach out.

Sky (Ophis): "Hey, Sanny! How's the world of magic treating you? Things are kind of crazy over here, but it's... fun. Who knew being a Dragon God could be so interesting?"

Sanny chuckled. He could only imagine the havoc Sky must be causing in the world of High School DxD.

Sanny (Imagination Wizard): "It's been a wild ride. Still trying to figure things out. But... how are you holding up, Sky? Ophis suits you, huh?"

Before Sky could respond, Sid jumped into the conversation. As Aizen from Bleach, he had taken to his new role with a frightening level of ease.

Sid (Aizen): "I hope you're not wasting too much time playing around, Sanny. You have potential. More than you realize. The Clover Kingdom may be small, but don't underestimate it."

There was always that competitive edge to Sid's words, pushing him to be better. He had been the sibling who taught Sanny the value of patience and understanding power dynamics. Being Aizen must have come naturally to him.

Sanny couldn't help but smirk at Sid's remark, but before he could answer, Sal's booming personality entered the chat.

Sal (Gilgamesh): "Hmph, don't let him scare you, brother. The power of kings is what matters! Just wait until you see the treasures I've unlocked from the Gate of Babylon. It's incredible! You should be aiming to stand above all others, not alongside them."

Sanny shook his head. Sal, now Gilgamesh from Fate, had fully embraced the role of the arrogant king. Of course, his brother was always larger than life, and it showed in how he approached everything. Still, there was wisdom in his words, hidden beneath that cocky exterior.

And then came Sam, now Goku from Dragon Ball, his tone light-hearted and encouraging as always.

Sam (Goku): "Sanny! Haha, don't listen to those guys. Just keep training and pushing yourself, like I always say! You'll get stronger. And who knows, maybe one day we'll have an all-out sparring session between worlds! Wouldn't that be awesome?"

Sanny grinned. Leave it to Sam to lighten the mood and offer simple yet profound advice: just keep pushing forward.

As the chat continued, their mother, Maria, entered. She was Kaguya now, a goddess-like figure from Naruto, and while that role carried a lot of weight, Maria's motherly nature still shone through.

Maria (Kaguya): "Boys, don't bicker too much. Sanny, I'm proud of you for holding your own out there. But don't forget—use your power wisely. The worlds we are in aren't just playgrounds. They are real, and the consequences of our actions can have lasting effects."

Her voice, though gentle, held the same firm tone that had kept the family together back on Earth. It was the voice that had calmed their father in times of stress and kept the siblings from tearing each other apart during arguments. Sanny smiled at the memory.

And finally, Samuel, their father, now Zoro from One Piece, entered the chat, his words as straightforward and grounding as ever.

Samuel (Zoro): "Sanny, don't forget your training. No matter what kind of power you have, it's worthless if you can't use it properly. And don't lose your way. You're a Santos, and we don't quit."

His father had always been a man of few words, but when he spoke, it carried weight. Zoro suited him, Sanny thought. Strong, dependable, and someone who could endure anything thrown at him.

As the conversation flowed, Sanny felt a deep sense of belonging wash over him. Despite being in different worlds, despite the vastness of space and time separating them, they were still a family. And that connection was something even magic couldn't break.

Sanny (Imagination Wizard): "I miss you all, but I'm doing okay. I'll keep training. The Magic Knight Entrance Exam is coming up soon. I'm not sure what's going to happen, but I'll be ready. And who knows, maybe one day we'll all meet again in the same world."

The chat quieted for a moment as his words sank in.

Sky (Ophis): "We believe in you, big bro."

Sid (Aizen): "Don't let us down."

Sal (Gilgamesh): "Make your name known across the stars!"

Sam (Goku): "Stay strong, Sanny! You got this!"

Maria (Kaguya): "We're always with you in spirit, no matter how far apart we are."

Samuel (Zoro): "Focus on the present. You'll do fine."

Sanny closed the chat, feeling more at peace than he had in days. No matter what happened next, he knew his family had his back. It didn't matter that they were in different worlds, each one living a life vastly different from their time on Earth. They were all Santos, bound by blood, memories, and now, magic.

He clenched his fist, staring at the night sky once more. The journey ahead was uncertain, but with his family's support, he felt ready to face whatever challenges the Clover Kingdom had in store for him.

As Sanny stood, he whispered to himself, a small smile playing on his lips, "Can you imagine?"
