"Mother Fie it looks like we've found the child that has markings on the back of his neck." Grandmaster Xuan said while watching the markings of the neck of the baby.

Then the named called Mother Fie nodded. "We have to protect this kid and guide him, on how to use his power and not become corrupted by hate and anger."

The marking looks like a fingerprint of some unknown existence. The marking is like a small circle with straight lines and curved lines, that somehow like a fingerprint of a thumb.

By the time Grandmaster Xuan touch it the marking react and repealed the hands of the old man from touching the markings on its neck. Somehow, only professor Lee and Tyro could touch the markings.

The other three people nodded, they know why they could not touch it.

"Let's go!"

Grandmaster Xuan command his colleagues and continued. "For now, we will be watching the child from afar. You can now guaranty that your higher-ups won't bother you." Grandmaster Xuan said it to professor Lee and left the camp with the two helicopters.

Then Tyro bid his farewell to professor Lee and hug her tightly and said. "Please raise the child with love and care the same as you did on our way back to the camp." Tyro saw professor Lee her love and care for the child, even she did not know how to raise a baby. She perceivers and endure the hardship of being a real mother to the child.

Then tears fall on the eye of professor Lee and she said. I'm gonna name the kid the same as your best friend!" Then she hugs back on Tyro, when they first meet she feels awkward seeing the man exposed his upper body. But as time passed she got used to it, and become more comfortable with the man on her side.

"I see! Then I hope I will see little Tyro in the future. With a smile and waving his big hands with metal-like gloves on them. Tyro slowly walks out towards the exit of bot camp.

Even Tyro wants to be with them he could not leave his duties as one of the Guardian of Earth.

Their existence is absolute for the peace and safety of both races of modern and ancient times. They are chosen people by the absolute council, to protect and become the line of both parties. They have to separate both of their needs and wants to accomplish their duties without any hindrance.

By the time Tyro saw the five people he already knew that those five are also Guardians of Earth. But their duties are on the side of humanity.

There are three kinds of Guardians, the Human side, other ancient life form side, and those who maintain peace on both sides.

Like Tyro he is the one assign on protecting both parties and only a few of them are chosen for that task. This also means that Tyro has higher authority over those five. However, except the named Mother Fie who is not categorized on these three systems. They are the ones on neither side, their purpose is to guide the Guardians on what absolute council decision or what they think the best solution on that situation.

"Okay make sure you clean up and come down here your grandfather will be calling us in few minutes to greet you." Jin Soo said to baby Tyro while preparing the table.

His grandfather was none other than professor Frank.

Jin Soo also told baby Tyro that his father was an amazing warrior who protects them and dies together with the monster along to the forest where he got born.
