Chapter 13: Aftermath
The world around Sanny was dark, his existence suspended in a Dreamworld filled with memories of laughter, family gatherings, and dreams unfulfilled. He could almost hear the echoes of his loved ones, their voices fading as he floated in this endless space. He had lost his physical form, but his mind remained sharp, enough to grasp the weight of his new reality.
Suddenly, a flash of light brought him back to the moment of impact—the screech of tires, the unbearable crunch of metal, and then silence. In this strange limbo, he felt an overwhelming urge to reach out to his family. Their faces filled his mind—his mother's warm smile, his father's teachings, his siblings' playful banter, and the bond they shared that transcended mere blood.
"Please… I want to be connected to them," he whispered, a sense of urgency in his voice.
Before he could process the response, a warm, calming presence enveloped him. "Your wish has been heard," the voice echoed softly. "You shall not be alone."
And then everything shifted.

On Earth, the Santos family remained unaware of the calamity that had befallen Sanny. Each member carried on with their daily lives, oblivious to the impending changes. However, an unsettling feeling hung in the air, a lingering sense of loss they couldn't quite place.
Just moments after Sanny's wish was granted, they were abruptly transported from their everyday routines to worlds vastly different from their own.
Sky, Sanny's youngest sister, opened her eyes to find herself surrounded by swirling energies in the world of High School DxD. She had transformed into Ophis, the Infinite Dragon God. Though she now possessed incredible power, the loneliness in her heart echoed with the absence of her brother.
Sid awoke in the realm of Bleach as Sosuke Aizen, his keen intellect allowing him to adapt quickly. Yet, despite the allure of power, his mind was consumed with thoughts of Sanny and the family they had left behind.
Sal found himself in the grand world of Fate as Gilgamesh, reveling in the treasures of his new identity. Still, a part of him felt incomplete without his brother to share the moment with, the laughter and camaraderie they had enjoyed now just a fading memory.
Sam emerged in Dragon Ball as Goku, where his competitive spirit thrived. However, even as he trained, the nagging emptiness of Sanny's absence tugged at his heart.
Maria, embodying Kaguya Otsutsuki in Naruto, felt the weight of motherhood deepen. Her children were scattered, and she yearned to unite them, even as she wielded the powers to shape dimensions.
Finally, Samuel materialized in One Piece as Roronoa Zoro, the swordsman's resolve unwavering. His thoughts lingered on his family, the bonds of love and connection that had always guided him.

Back in the Dreamworld, Sanny felt a shift within himself, a connection binding him to his family. It wasn't just a feeling; it was tangible. He concentrated, his grimoire glowing in his hands. "Can they hear me?" he whispered, hope threading through his thoughts.
As if in response, the pages of his grimoire began to turn, revealing words that materialized as messages from his family.
Hey, Kuya, this place is… weird. Sky's handwriting formed on the page, vibrant and full of life.
Sanny's heart soared. It worked! He was still connected to them.
Messages poured in like a flood, each one a reminder of the love that transcended distance.
Sid's calm voice reassured him: I've found myself in a position of power. This will be interesting.
Sal's playful sarcasm followed: I'm a king, Kuya. Of course, it suits me perfectly.
Sam's enthusiasm burst forth: Training here is tough, but fun! You'll never believe this!
Maria's concern was palpable: My dear, I hope you're safe. Please let me know where you are.
And Samuel's words were filled with strength: I'm strong here, stronger than ever. But I'll never stop thinking about all of you.
Sanny felt tears prick his eyes as he realized that even in death, he had forged a connection that would never fade. "I'm here," he whispered. "I'm always with you."
Just as they shared their experiences, a new message appeared—one that filled Sanny with dread.
"I miss you so much." It was Mira, the girl he had liked. He hadn't realized how deeply his absence would affect her until now. She had always been a bright spot in his life, and now, her words resonated with an aching loneliness.
Sanny's heart sank. He had wished for his family to stay connected, but he hadn't foreseen the impact of their separation.
As he read the messages, he felt a shift in the atmosphere. He could sense something was amiss. The connection felt fragile, and he wished he could reach out to Mira, to reassure her that everything would be okay.
But in the days that followed, tragedy struck. News of Sanny's death reached Mira, shattering her already fragile spirit. The weight of sorrow became unbearable, leading her to a dark decision.
In that moment, when she took her final breath, the chat dimmed. Sanny felt an immense loss wash over him—a void that he couldn't fill, even with the love of his family.
"Why?" he whispered into the Dreamworld, the word echoing back to him unanswered.
In the realms where his family now resided, the news of Mira's tragic choice reached them like a wave, crashing over their newfound lives with devastating force.
Sky: Mira? Are you there?
Sid: What happened?
Sal: This can't be happening!
Sam: We need to find her!
But it was too late. The connection had been severed, and the silence that followed was deafening.

The Santos family, now scattered across different worlds, felt the weight of loss even more acutely. Their hearts ached for Sanny and Mira, the threads that had once tied them together now frayed and fragile.
They gathered in their chat, the once-vibrant messages now tinged with grief and sorrow. They shared memories, honoring the love and laughter Sanny and Mira had brought into their lives.
They resolved to celebrate their lives, to carry the memories of their beloved family with them in every step they took. The void of their absence would not define them; instead, it would be a reminder of the love they had shared.
As they navigated their new worlds, the Santos family found strength in one another. They were bound by love and connection, a force stronger than any distance or tragedy. And with every message, every memory, they promised to keep Mira alive in their hearts.
With that promise, they embarked on their respective journeys, united in purpose and love, determined to honor the bonds that could never be broken.
