Restart!

Yunata: Why does it look... fancier.. than when I was here?

Yunata walks around trying to find his old school and home in this newly reconstructed city.

Yunata: This feels and looks like my old street.

Yunata comes to the realization that his family more than likely moved away after all of this time. Yunata now gloomy, continues to walk around the city despite thinking they've moved away. While doing so, he notices much more crimes and violence going on than he has ever seen when he lived here. Yunata goes to stop a group of guys he spots ganging up on someone.

Bad Guy 1: You're so weak, how could you even think about walking around here alone?

Bad Guy 2: Look, we ain't gonna kill you or nothin, just give us everything you have on you, and we all go home happy. Okay?

Danilo: I'm not giving you anything...

Bad Guy 3: That's perfectly fine with us, sorry for wasting your time.

Yunata sees the three guys walking away and assumes everything was handled. 

Danilo: Oh, um... okay...

Danilo walks away, confused about why they didn't just beat him and take his belongings. As everyone walks away, one of the guys secretly fires a blast of magic at Danilo's neck. Yunata appears behind Danilo and deflects the attack, unsure of whether it's a trap or they were really trying to kill him.

Danilo: What th-

Yunata grabs Danilo and takes and dashes away when the guys all try attacking him and Yunata.

Yunata: Hey, um... I'm not trying to hurt you. So... uh... let me save you?

Danilo: Um... okay...

Yunata safely puts Danilo down after noticing how weak he is even amongst regular civilians. 

Yunata: Black Ally.

Yunata thinks to himself: "I HAVE TO CHANGE THAT NAME AS SOON AS I CAN!" Yunata swallows Danilo in a black hole that orbits him. Kind of like a floating pokeball.

Yunata: What are you guys fighting for. Did he do something to you?

Bad Guy 2: Yeah, he declined our services.

Yunata: (genuinely confused)Oh.. I'll do whatever it is he didn't

Bad Guy 2: Okay, then give us everything on you!

Yunata: (stale face)No!

The three guys attempt to attack Yunata all at once but are all parried and countered.

Yunata: Black Orbit!

Yunata swallows the people in a black hole that orbits him and Danilo. Yunata thinks to himself: "That's much better!"

Yunata: I'm taking you bums to jail, since you haven't done enough for me to kill you.

As Yunata makes his way to jail he decides to stop more criminals on the way. Yunata ends up clearing the city of all active thugs while on his way to jail. 

Yunata: OH, YOU'RE STILL IN THERE!

Yunata releases Danilo from the black hole after remembering he was in one.

Danilo: Thanks for saving me, BUT COULD YOU NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT KIDNAPPING ME?

Yunata: I'm sorry... glasses, BUT I FORGOT. You're out now though so you know... everything's okay.

Danilo: MY NAME ISN'T GLASSES! IT'S DANILO! AND THANK YOU!

Yunata: Stop yelling. And you're welcome, Danilo.

Yunata thinks to himself: "That's so nice to hear." 

Danilo: Well you took me across the city far from my home! Why shouldn't I yell!?

Yunata: I can take you back. That's not a problem.

Danilo: WELL IT IS WHEN I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM! AND I DOUBT YOU KNOW EITHER!

Yunata: Well... we can just walk until you find your way.

Danilo: No! I'm gonna find my way myself! You go away!

Yunata: WAIT I'M LOST TOO! WHY CAN'T WE JUST GO TOGETHER?!?

Danilo: BECAUSE YOU'RE THE REASON WE'RE OUT HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Yunata: WELL SORRY FOR STOPPING CRIME?!?

Danilo: Whatever, I'm going alone. So go away.

Danilo uses his phone to find out where he is and starts heading towards his street. Yunata, who doesn't have a functional phone, steals the idea of a map and thinks of a new ability to use.

Yunata: Mother Natures Guidance!

Yunata creates a huge map made up of pure energy that follows and guides him to his location.

Yunata: Come with me.

Danilo: No!

Yunata grabs Danilo anyway and takes him to his home.

Yunata: Here. You're home.

Before Danilo can say anything Yunata walks off to finally bring the criminals to jail.

Yunata: What do you mean they can't be imprisoned? I just stopped them all from committing crimes, and you want me to release them for something as stupid as you don't believe me?

Prison Guard: Look, if you wanna have this argument go to the police station.

Yunata: No! They're gonna be locked up here, and now.

Yunata sends all of the criminals inside of the prison by sending the black holes through the bars of prison cell windows.

Yunata: Now go take care of that soon to be riot.

Before the guard can say anything Yunata leaves the area.

Yunata: Why can't people just be grateful?

As Yunata walks around, he passes someone who gives him this very odd feeling. He glances up to see them looking right back at him.

Yunata: Do I know you?

After really getting a good look at the person, Yunata realizes she looks a lot like his mother.

Yunata: Mom...?

Vivian: Yunata?

Yunata: Mom, I-

Vivian: I'm not your mother! I'm your sister, Vivian.

Yunata: I have a sister? Wait, how come you know me? I don't even know you.

Vivian: Because our mother always talks about you!

Yunata: She does"

Vivian: Yes, way too much.

Yunata: So you must no-

Vivian tightly hugs Yunata while tearing up.

Vivian: I'm so glad I finally got to meet you!

Yunata is very confused. He had assumed his mother told his sister bad stories about him but yet she went to hug him. He hugs her back, happy to finally be accepted by someone in his family other than his uncle.

Yunata: So-

Vivian: COME OVER! YOU'VE GOTTA TALK TO MOM! SHE WORRIES SO MUCH ABOUT YOU!

Yunata: I don't know...

Vivian: (puppy eyes)At least just come say hi.

Yunata: No.

Vivian: But why not!

Yunata assumes Vivian doesn't know how they treated him and decides to allow her to keep her innocence.

Yunata: Because I've got things to do. Maybe later.

Vivian: Well can I come with you? I mean this is literally my first time ever meeting my older brother.

Yunata: Sure, you can tag along.

Vivian: Okay!

Yunata(who doesn't even know what he himself is here for)decides to go to a nearby park. As he was never able to play at one with friends.

Vivian: So... what exactly are we doing?

Yunata: To be honest, I don't even know. I thought I'd enjoy spending time here, but it's pretty much the same as Georgia.

Vivian: Georgia? You live in Georgia?

Yunata: Well, I guess.

Vivian: Then what are you doing here?

Yunata: Well, I planned on uh... seeing my family?

Vivian: Then why'd you decline my invitation?

Yunata: Well, I didn't expect you guys to want to see me.

Vivian: Why wouldn't we?

Yunata: I don't know. I guess I'll come over.

Vivian: Yay!

Yunata is nervous to see his family after so long, and still confused on why their opinion of him had changed all of a sudden. But he decides the only way to get over it is to just go and see them. After a bit of walking, Yunata and Vivian arrive to the house. The family had in fact moved away and into a much bigger house.

Yunata: Has she gotten rich or something? I wasn't living somewhere so... expensive...

Vivian: Our mother has always been rich. Now come on!

Vivian begins to walk inside the house while holding Yunata's arm but is stopped in place. Yunata is too nervous to move. Still contemplating whether this is a good idea or not.

Vivian: Come on, don't tell me you're scared.

Yunata: I'm not scared but... it's so different.

Vivian: Oh come on!

Vivian lifts Yunata off the ground and tosses him inside the house before he can even react.

Yunata: What the-

Yunata looks up to see his mother's extremely shocked face.

Yunata: Hi... mom...

Yunata's mother bursts into tears as she runs to hug him, smiling as she cries.

Madelyn: Son... I can't believe it! After all this time, we thought you had been murdered along with my brother... thank you lord!

Yunata: Why are you so happy that I didn't?

Madelyn: What are you saying?!? Why wouldn't I be?!?

Yunata: Because you never wanted me around in the first place.

Madelyn's heart drops as she begins to remember how isolated her son was from her because of her brother. Even though she knows exactly what she wants to say, she can't put it into words before Yunata gets up and leaves.

Vivian: Wait Yunata!

Yunata: No.

Vivian: Well can I at least come with you?

Yunata: Sure.

Madelyn sits on the floor, still in shock about the fact her son had been alive all this time, but with a very sorrowful face, as she can't believe how frustrated her son had been towards her for her own brother's selfish request.

Vivian: So... what was that all about?

Yunata: Don't worry about it. Just know, I'm nev-

Madelyn: YUNATAAAA! WAIT PLEASE! LET ME EXPLAIN!

Yunata stops walking and allows his mother one opportunity to change his feelings of resentment towards her.

Madelyn: Look, when you were born, the doctors told me I weren't allowed to keep you because you came out so healthy and strong. You didn't cry when you came out so they had to keep you for tests. I was devastated as I thought I would never be able to see my first son again, until my brother appeared at my doorstep holding you in his arms. He told me that you were special, and possessed more power than even me. He told me that he would raise you to become stronger, and into an honest and good hearted man. I declined, arguing with him over who would raise my own child. In the end, he told me that until you've grown until the fine man he had envisioned, I was never allowed to even speak to you. He ran off holding you in his arms. I tried to chase him but had been blocked inside my own house. I then found out that he put a spell on me, never allowing me to pursue you or him ever again. Your father went to take you back himself but had been put under the same spell. We were devastated for months until we finally decided to leave you in his hands and wait to see the man you were born into. Until we heard the news about my brother being murdered. We were in despair and couldn't believe that we never got to speak to our own son after his own birth. I never even had the chance to speak to you... until now... so please... at least stay until the afternoon. I'm begging, please let me do something for you, anything!

Yunata is trying his best to hold back his tears as he celebrates in his mind, so happy to find out his family had never hated him. But was heartbroken that his uncle who raised him had done such a selfish thing. He almost didn't want to believe it, but his magic confirmed that everything she said had been true. Vivian, who is crying even more than her mother stood in front of Yunata, showing him the saddest of puppy eyes he's ever seen.

Yunata: I'll stay.

Madelyn: THANK YOU!

Madelyn, Vivian, and Yunata all hug, finally being brought together.

This is the end of the chapter, love you!
