 -Jack Reacher

Chapter 21
    "Ray, hurry up!" Jessica said. "We're going to be late."
    "Jessica, the movie theater is right down the hallway. We're fine" I said.
    "Yea, but the movie starts at 11"
    "And it's 10:55. Calm down. There are also a bunch of previews before the movie starts."
    "Yea, but we have a full day of stuff to do."
    "I know. We can't control how long the movie is either. If we can't finish it today then we'll do it tomorrow. It's not like we have school. It's June 30th, remember?"
    She did not say anything after that. She walked back from her running lead and grabbed my hand tight and walked with me. I guess she understood. 
    We got to the movie theater and  bought the tickets. We were out pretty early than normal. Jessica had this whole day planned out for a week now. She emphasized it had to be this Friday for some reason. The first thing she did was make me breakfast when she woke up. She did that before, but this time she went all out. She made eggs, sausage, grits, pancakes, and waffles. Now we were at the movies to watch Jack Reacher, a movie I always wanted to see, but was too lazy to go.
    "2 tickets for Jack Reacher, please." I told the woman at the ticket counter.
    "Here you go. Enjoy." she said.
    "You want popcorn or anything?" I asked Jessica.
    "Whatever you want. Like I said you're not paying for anything today. I want to treat you." she said.
    "I told you I don't like it when girls treat me to things."
    "Shut up. What do you want?"
    "Just a small soda, Nestle Crunch, and small popcorn for us to share." 
    "You could have just said the usual."
    "The usual."
    Jessica rolled her eyes and went to go order the stuff. I really did not like her treating me to all this, but she was dead set on it so I might as well let her. When she was done we went to go find some seats. The movie has been out for a while so not many people were there. The seats up top were free so we sat there. 
    "This is going to be the best day ever." Jessica said. "Watch." Then she kissed me on the cheek and laid on my shoulder. The movie began and she stayed like that the whole time.

    "You liked it?" Jessica asked me as we left the movie theater.
    "It was better than I expected. And I expected it to be okay." I told her.
    "Nice. Glad you enjoyed it. What you want to do next?"
    "You're the head of this operation. You decide."
    She stood and thought about it. "Um. Are you hungry? We could do lunch?" Jessica finally said.
    "Yea. I could use some lunch."
    "Then it's settled. Where you want to go?"
    "To save time we could eat her in the mall. Let's go to the food court."
    "That's not romantic at all."
    "So. I'm with you. I'm happy." I kissed her.
    "Fine."she smiled. "Let's go."
    "We went up into the mall. The food court was huge so there were a lot of options. We walked around for a few minutes and  made my decision. 
    "I want Japanese." I said to her.
    "I never did give you Japanese food yet. I like the idea." Jessica said and went to the stand to order. "I'm going to order our whole lunch. You won't be disappointed."
    After that she ordered our food. The only thing was she said everything in Japanese. I had  no idea what she ordered. Then while we waited she had a full conversation with the woman working there. I only caught on to a couple of words because of the anime I watch. I believe they were discussing where they were from because I heard Jessica say something about Tokyo. In the end I had no idea.
    "Aye. Arigatou, Hansee-chan" Jessica said as the woman handed her two bags. "You ready for this? She makes authentic Japanese food."
    "That's what you two was talking about?" I asked.
    "That and how her kids were doing in Japan. We talked before."
    "Oh. That explains why you said 'chan'."
    "So you do know some Japanese."
    "Yeah. I want to learn, but that might take years. Maybe you could teach me some in these last few months."
    "There is a table. Let's go eat." She said completely ignoring me. 
    We sat at a table in the corner. I  opened my bag. It was rice, a seaweed looking thing in soy sauce and some type of meat.
    "What is this?" I asked Jessica.
    "It's fried fish with rice and seaweed duck sauce. My mom makes this sometimes. It's really good. Try it."
    I tried the most skeptical thing first. I took the fork and took the seaweed.
    "Eat it with the rice. It's better like that." Jessica said before I ate.
    I did just that. I trust her. I took my first bite. It was really good. The seaweed was dry, but the duck sauce made it moist and gave it a sweet taste to it. I took a piece of the fish. It was different from any other fried fish I had. It was better.
    "Wow. This is amazing." I said.
    "I knew you would like it." Jessica said after she swallowed her mouth full. "People think Japanese just eat ramen all day."
    "You do." I laughed.
    "Shut up, idiot."
    I did. I finished my whole lunch in six minutes. Jessica finished soon after. 
    "That was wonderful." Jessica said. "Good choice for lunch."
    "For some reason I think you would have chosen the same place."
    "Maybe." she smiled. I know her.
    "So, beautiful. Where we going now?"
    "That is a surprise. Let's go."
    As we walked to the entrance Jessica called a cab. What was she up to now?
    We sat on the bench to wait. The whole time we talked. For some reason she seemed distracted. She kept looking at her phone for text messages and the time. She kept tapping her foot. She seemed very impatient today. Finally the cab showed up twenty minutes later.
    I got in first. Jessica walked over to the driver. She then whispered something in his ear.  I assumed the place we were going. She went to the back and sat next to me smiling.
    "Is it that serious?" I said.
    "Yes it is. Just sit back and relax, Sweetie." she responded.
    "Not in public, Jessica." I said under my breath embarrassed.  She just laughed.

    "So this is why you said dress casual." I said to her as I looked at the place we arrived to.
    "Yep." she said. "You like the surprise?"
    "I love the surprise. Six Flags. Damn."
    "That's not all." She pulled two flash passes out of her pocket. "I got these too."
    "I love you so much."
    "I know. Let's get started.  It's 3:30. We are here until 7. We have to go back to the house to change."
    "Let me guess. Dinner. Where? Wait, it's a surprise, huh?"
    "If you know that then let's get started." she said and dragged me along and into the entrance. She's gone all out for this day.

    By time I noticed it was already 6:30. The time in the park went fast even with the flash passes. Right now Jessica was currently in the bathroom. I waited on a bench outside. I saw a cotton candy stand so I bought one for us to share when she got out. The whole time there was great. We manage to go on every ride. Some we did twice. We did bumper karts, laser tag, and much more. We did basically everything except water rides. 
    Except for one…which was why Jessica was in the bathroom. I had on waterproof shorts so I was fine. She was not as lucky. 
    She came out of the bathroom a few minutes later with a park bought shirt on. She still had on the shorts. Her wet shirt was in a bag. 
    "You're cruel!" she said. 
    "I said you did not have to go on." I said. I was laughing the whole time.
    "You said I was not going to get wet!" 
    "I did? I thought I said you were going to get really wet. My bad."
    "I hate you." she said as she hit me. 
    "I'm sorry, Jessica. Here." I handed her the cotton candy.
    "I said not to buy anything."
    "It's just cotton candy. I  know you love it. C'mon. smile!"
    She did. "You lucky you're cute." She took the cotton candy and took a piece. "I called a cab while I was in there."
    "Back to the house?"
    "Yep."
    "Thank you for this. The day."
    "Don't thank me yet. The day is not over." She sounded more disappointed than happy. At least to me.
    We walked back to the entrance. We did not have to wait long for the taxi this time. It only took ten to fifteen minutes. We both got in the back this time. She told the driver where to go and collapsed on my shoulder. She was exhausted.
    "We don't have to do anymore today." I said. "I had a great time. You did enough."
    "No. We are finishing this day, Ray. I'm just going to rest a bit now. I'm fine." she said.
    This day was really important to her it seems. I still did not know why. We had two more months to do this. She's trying to do it in one day. 
    "Alright. Whatever you want." I said. She was already asleep. I kissed her forehead and we drove.

    About forty five minutes later we arrived back at the house. I woke her up. She immediately looked at her phone. It was 7:40. It was dark out.
    We got out and she paid the guy.
    "Okay. We have about an hour or so to get ready. I'll take a shower first." Jessica said as she went into the house.
    "Where are we going?" I asked again as  I followed her in. 
    "You know I'm not saying. Just dress in something formal. Shoes, slacks, button up, and a tie is optional." She took off up stairs. 
    My parents were not home. They told me they went to go see Grandma. I usually go, but they knew about the day Jessica had planned for us. They said they were going to be back tomorrow. When I did not know.
    I honestly did not know they were going to be so cool with Jessica and I dating. We told them a week after we were together. I think they already knew though. My mom said she expected that to happen from the start. I guess that would make sense. 
    I heard the shower come on. She did that pretty fast. I turned the TV on and waited until she was done. I wonder what else she had in store for me today.
    
    It was 9:25. The cab just pulled up to the restaurant. The place she chose was Rome's Palace. One of the most expensive restaurants in the city, no, the State of New Jersey. I looked down at what I was wearing. I had shoes, black pants, white button up, no tie. I started to think I under-dressed for the occasion. Jessica said I was fine. I doubt that.
    Jessica on the other hand looked gorgeous. She cleaned up well in an hour. She wore a strapless red dress that was not tight, but showed her curves. She also wore three inch black heels. She also had on just the right amount of makeup. Her hair was the same, but different at the same time. I was not used to seeing her like this, but she was stunning. 
    "Maybe I should have grabbed that tie." I said as we went into the restaurant. The inside was just as grand as the inside. It was covered in red velvet, dimly lit, the tables and chairs were golden. There was a huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling. This place was enormous, but not many people were there.
    "I told you that you look fine." She told me. "Reservations for two. Kim and Randel" She told the maitre d.
    "Ah, Ms. Kim. Right this way." the man said. 
    We did not go into the dining hall. We went up the steps. There was a series of rooms in a long hallway. We stopped at an open door. A table was set up with candles. There was a fish tank with tropical fish swimming. 
    "As requested, your private room." said the maitre d.
    "Thank you." I said. Not really knowing what to say. 
    "He gave a head bow. "Your waiter will be with you shortly." Then he left and closed the door behind him.
    "A private room?" I said. "How did you afford this?"
    "It was only twenty dollars more. I know you don't like people around either. Do you like it?" Jessica asked.
    "I like it a lot. It's beautiful. You're beautiful, but why?"
    "I told you that this is a special day. Enjoy it."
    I went over and pulled her chair out for her and she sat.
    "What a gentleman." she joked.
    "I still got my manners even though you're treating me to this like a child." I said.
    "You are still sour about that. A woman could buy things too, macho man. Just enjoy it and let it happen."
    Moments later the waiter came through a door from the back. 
    "I'm Ben. I'll be your personal waiter this evening." He said then handed us menus. "I'll be back soon." He walked out.
    Jessica and I looked through the menus for a couple minutes. Jessica put hers down.
    "I ordered lunch for us. You could do dinner." she said. 
    "Thanks for the pressure, baby." I said.
    "No problem." she smiled. 
    I looked through the menu some more. Ben came back wanting the order moments later.
    "You're ready, sir?" Ben asked.
    "Yes. We both will have the caesar salad for an appetizer. The main course will be the prime rib dinner, medium on the rib, and dessert the Lemon meringue pie. A Sprite for me and Grape juice, for the lady."
    "Yessir. We'll have your salads momentarily." He left out with the menu.
    "Wow." Jessica said. "I did not expect you to have all three courses ordered. Impressive."
    "Yea. I knew you like similar things to me. Do you like the order?" I asked. I really wasn't sure.
    "I'm perfectly fine with it. I was thinking the same thing really."
    "Don't just say that."
    "I wouldn't." she smiled. "I'm telling the truth."
    A few minutes later Ben returned with two salads. Our dinner began.

    The whole dinner was wonderful. From the salad to the pie. The main course consisted of 2 prime ribs, mashed potatoes and gravy, steamed broccoli, and cornbread, but not the one I'm use to. The pie was wonderful. That came with a bowl of vanilla ice cream. After the dinner I was stuffed. I could barely move.
    "Did you enjoy your meal?" Ben asked as he returned after dessert. 
    "Yes, Ben, we did." I said.
    "It was marvelous." Jessica said.
    "Here is your bill, sir."
    "Nope I'm treating." Jessiaca said. "Here." she pulled her card out of her purse and handed it to him without looking at the bill.
    "Thank you ma'am." He left out with the card.
    "You don't need to see the bill?" I asked. 
    "I got enough no matter the price." she said. "The whole point is that you're happy."
    Ben came back quick. He handed Jessica her card back.
    "Thank you both for eating here. Have a nice night." He said and walked back to the back. Jessica pulled out a twenty and put it in the middle of the table.
    "Are you ready to go?" she asked.
    "Our nights not over?" I responded.
    "We're headed back to the house, but no the night is not over yet."
    I looked at my phone. It was already 11:30? What else had she planned? 
    We left the restaurant and she called a cab for the last time. 
    "You're still not tired?"  I asked her.
    "No. I rested enough on your shoulder. Are you tired?" 
    "No I'm fine surprisingly."
    "Good. You might just need that energy." she smiled. What did she mean by that?
    A few minutes later the cab pulled up. At 12:10 we arrived home for the rest of the night. I was intrigued about what was about to happen next.

    I went into the living room. Jessica went upstairs. She said she had to go get something. I turned on the TV just for light though. I did not care what was on and I did not want to turn on the living room light because that was too bright. I rarely turn that on. I sat on the couch and waited for Jessica. A minute later she came from around the corner with something in her hand.
    "Here. I got you a gift." she said.
    "What is it?" I asked.
    "Open it, smart one."
    I took the gift. It was a box or something. I opened it. It was the complete first season Naruto. I wanted this for a while now.
    "You are the greatest girlfriend ever! I love you so much. Thank you." I hugged her.
    "I know. You're welcome, Ray."
    "I've been wondering all day though. Why? You had to spend like a thousand dollars today. We did so much. Why today? We still got two months left, but you are acting like…" Then it hit me. And the look on her face kind of confirmed it. "Don't tell me…'
    "I'm leaving tomorrow Or today seeing the time." she said. "That's why. Surprised you did not realize it earlier."
    I was shocked. "What the hell! Tomorrow? Why? This makes no sense."
    "I'm sorry. My father is ill. It's kinda bad. My mom wants me to come home and help take care of him and the company. I was supposed to leave before school was over, but I begged her to stay to finish school. I also wanted to stay with you. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to ruin the time we had together. I'm sorry."
    "I guess my parents know."
    "Yes they do. They're not at your grandma's house either. I paid for a hotel for them for the night. Oh yea, my mom sent me money. I wanted to spend my last day here with you. Just you." 
    I heard everything she said. I understood. That still did not hold back the tears. I knew this was going to happen.
    "I'm sorry for your father, but do you have to go?" I asked
    "Family orders. I have to go tomorrow. I'm hurting just as much as you, but I expected it."
    "Well I didn't! This is why I did not want to get into this. I knew I was going to feel like this.  I was prepared to let you go, but not this early. I love you so much."
    "I love you too.  That's why" Jessica came over and wiped my tears away. Then she kissed me. It was different from any other kiss though. It had way more passion in it. 
    "Tonight. I want to have sex with you." she said.
    "But…" I started
    'I don't know when I'm going to see you again. And I want no regrets. I want this. Please!"
    " I don't know. I don't even have a condom."
    "I told you." She pulled a condom out of her purse and threw the purse behind her. "I have everything planned."
    "Are you sure? This is big. For both of us."
    "I am. I thought about this for a while. I'm ready. If you are."
    I kissed her. "I am, but I have no idea what I'm doing. This is my first time."
    "I don't know either." She kissed me back. "But let's just experience this together."
    We kissed again for a while. She looked passionately into my eyes and guided me to the couch. We made love for the rest of the night. Then we fell asleep in each other's arms for our last night together.

Mrs. Smith was such a noble lady she convinced me and jack about the my joining in the hospital. No sooner i and mrs. Smith built a good relation and forgot about the past also she, her husband, i and jack took some lunches and dinners together. From this times i got to know how wrongly i judged mrs. Smith she was just angry because of the useless investigation about sarah and not about Ainsley. One evening when we were together for dinner jack and mr. Smith was preparing dishes while i and mrs. Smith were standing in the balcony
"Jessica, listen you are like my daughter and i and mr. Smith really care for you. I don't want you to be in any mess, now you have a good job, caring boyfriend and us as your guardian, forget about Ainsley, Sarah and Rachael. I know its a bit tough but even i had to do it because we just can't take death people into life. It will be better if you live peacefully." She said while looking in the clouds.
"Don't worry i will be out of the mess as long as you three are with me." I said and i meant it. I almost forget about the deaths and suspense and after those mental sessions with mr. Smith i forgot it completely because he told me the right thing. From this way all were happy.

The first month after joining was just too good for all of us. I and jack were moving on from the shattering memories and nothing was ruining or eating my soul from inside, mr and mrs. Smith got us in the form of their children as they always says it. Summing up, We were all quite happy.
"Babe am off to work. See ya..!" I said to jack.
"Listen to me." He said.
"Yep" 
"My parents are coming to see you and to finalise our marriage date." He said "they will be here soon." 
I was panicked my heart was beating quite fast and due to the nervousness i just didn't replied and left the home with a blush. I was blushing as my boyfriend is going to turn into my husband, my love will turn into my soulmate what can be more happier than this?

       I drove the car to the hospital and it was in its vintage condition as always. I saw mr. Smith standing outside the hospital i took the steps forwards when he stopped me and asked about where mrs. Smith is!?
"I don't really know. I saw her last evening she was talking to someone." I said.
"Can you go to our home to check if she is there?" He requested.
"Am really sorry sir but i have sessions with some of my patients. So..." I said
"I am sorry but please just check out there she must be there. Please jessica." He said "i can't go as there is a meeting of mine. So please can you?" 
"Ok..ok i will check and wil inform you soon." I said and left the place.

I drove my car to mrs. Smith's home. Mr. Smith is a good man i have no problem in helping him as he was the one who made me realise that we don't need to stick with the past. They lost their own child but still he is moving on because its a rule of life. He is a man of his words and ofcourse he loves mrs. Smith just too much. I wish i and jack make as good couple as theirs...

My phone was ringing and it was mr. Jack who called me.
"Heya..!" I said.
"Where are you?" He asked and i told him about all the things.
"Oh! That's okay but come back soon. Mum-dad will be here in probably three hours." He said.
"Are you kidding me?" I asked with a proper red face.
"Jessica " he said after taking a deep breathe.
"What? Why are you taking my name like this?" I said
"Jessica." He said again
"Stop it jack. Tell me what?" I said with a giggle.
"I love you. Are you okay with all this?" He asked.
"With all this like what?" 
"Like calling my parents here." He said.
"Am just a bit nervous. Otherwise am just too happy and excited for our new future jack." I said.
"Am too. There will be no looking back." He said.
"Jack." I said with a deep breathe.
"Copycat." He said and we both laughed.
"Bye...i reacher her home let me check what is up here." I said.
"Don't hung up lets tell about this news to mrs. Smith." He said.
"Not a bad idea mr. Jack." I said and step out of the car.

I rang the bell but no one answered after some minutes i push the door and it was open already. The scenario i saw there, was heart shaking that i just screamed too loud.
"Jess...Are you okay? Jess say something." Jack said on the call.
"Jack." I screamed again.
"What tell me!" He said and before i say anything else to him i felt unconscious  and fell on the ground

[Decimated Town]

By the next day as the sun rises, Kaido breath outs in relief as he sat down on the pile of rubble from the aftermath of that mysterious attack from an unknown enemy

As he sat down on the pile of rubble, he looked below as he observed the other's trying to figure out what just happened last night and why did it solely focus on attacking Kaido ignoring anything else in it's way

As he observed this he sigh again in his place as he muttered

"It's about time Jack arrives"

Hearing this Melfina who was beside him ask in confusion

"Did you ask anything from him?" She asks

"Yeah why?" Asks back Kaido

"Nothing really Kaido-sama... It's just that I find him quite creepy when he enjoys fighting" commented Melfina

At that Kaido blinked for a moment in thought as he speak up again

"There are different people so having different taste and likeness is also feasible" stated Kaido

After that silence permitted the place and because of it Kaido asked Melfina about something

"Tell me... Do you like fighting?" Asks Kaido

"Fighting?... I hate it.... But we need it in order to survive in this kind of world" answered Melfina

"I can't deny that" agreed Kaido as he remembered the situation from his old world

At that Kaido held tightly at the clothed cursed sword and by seeing this Melfina begun to probed about it

"Kaido-sama!"

Hearing that Kaido turned his attention to Melfina

"Isn't that sword dangerous because of its curse?... Then why are you holding tight to it?" Asks Melfina as he observed the sword

"This?... I don't know... But somehow my instincts tells me to keep it in check in order for it to not lure others from using it... And in order to do just that i have to keep it close to me always... In return I myself shouldn't fall for using this directly without this cloth or else I would fall to madness too..." Explained Kaido

"But don't worry... Someday I'll find a way to get rid of the curse somehow" added Kaido as he saw Melfina's worried expression

As they silently observed again, Kaido suddenly sensed something which made him turn his gaze at the forest near the town

As he squinted his eyes Jack however arrived and called out to him and the others

When they approached him Jack explained to them how he scouted for the bandits making the Hero's party accept his reasoning for his disappearance

"They're too many for a bandit group, at most they're numbers could level this whole town easily by a hundreds... At such it really surprised me by the series of explosion coming from here... I thought that the bandits would here it but they really did... Now they're coming in here and surely we would be really outnumbered by 1 to a hundred when we engaged them into a fight" warned Jack

After hearing this Kaido observed Jack carefully while Anna apologizes for the series of explosion causing the bandit army to be alerted

"If that is the case then we should really just fight them strategically" pointed out Alda

"I am a sword saint so we could overpower them at most" he added

"That is true... But that huge group would really need to keep they're morale going so I presume that they will go after the girls" stated Luke

At that everyone imagined the horrible experience of the girls in the hands of the bandits causing the four of them to shiver in disgust

"No way will I let them get near Lily... If I must I'll protect her" exclaimed Hibiki as he tries to be protective

"The question is... Can you do it?... At most your hatred is only directed at those non-human species... But we're talking about humans..." Pointed out Kaido as he stares at the hero

Receiving this Hibiki felt goosebumps from just Kaido's stare 

"If I can't talk them out of it... Then I'll have to just to immobilize them" stated Hibiki

"Idiot!... Hesitating for a moment will cost you your life..." Stated Kaido

"And I learned it in a painful way" he muttered silently

At that Kaido gave a stern expression as he declared to them

"Alright!... I would tell you how this play out...I don't need useless pieces in this plan because if we did then our safety would be put to danger... No one has a say in this... If you don't have the guts killing your way through I suggest that you leave this place with tail tucked between your legs because if you stay you would only be a burden" exclaimed Kaido as he stares around to see any objections

Upon hearing that everyone didn't dare to object him making it easy for Kaido to tell them the plan 

After the planned they're movements, they begun to disperse to they're duty to counter the attack from the bandit army, as they did this Jack suggested that he would continue to be a lookout to Kaido but as he did suggest this Kaido suddenly pointed the cursed sword at Jack's neck making the latter widened it's eye's in surprise

"Hahaha... What's the meaning of this?" He asks

In reply Kaido glared at Jack with an intent to kill

"You... Betrayed me... Why did you led them here?" Proclaimed Kaido

Hearing this Jack Immediately defended himself

"Betray you? Why would I..."

Before he could finish his words, Kaido suddenly interrupted him

"Don't play dumb... I sensed multiple people from those trees over there... You personally led them here to observe us... Now why did you led them here? Do you want them to observe us from afar?" Stated Kaido as he glares at Jack

Seeing that there's no point in hiding it he conceded to his claim

"Alright.... I admit... I did lead them here but because of the reason that I want to see your full potential... That's all... So I was thinking... What if I lead them here? Will that at least give you some pressure to forcefully show your hundred percent?... Cause if it does then a little sacrifice of our companions is a must just to witness this..." Stated Jack

Hearing this Kaido realized something

"So this prior request of yours... You were going to warn them about our plan... Am I right?" Asks Kaido

"Indeed" confirmed Jack

At that Kaido sigh a little before saying

"If that's the case I want you to lure them somewhere since they seem to trust you..."

Hearing that Jack's eyes begun to widen again

"Are you suggesting about disrupting they're rythm from the inside?" Pointed out Jack

"Exactly.... since you like to play around so much then I'll have you betray them... I'll show them what hell looks like" muttered Kaido

Hearing his plan Jack suddenly became excited for the upcoming events

***********************

After some time passed a huge army of bandits suddenly walked out of the forest and headed straight for the town and this army is led by Jack in the front

"Brother... Are you sure that those guys has girls with them?" Asks the leader of the bandits

"I assure you... They're exceptional in beauty and they're figures are stunning and with it you can truly enjoy them" assured Jack

Hearing that the the leader laughed in delight

"Excellent!!! Well have them satisfy us by a lot hahahaha! Let's go and charge the town!!!!"

With that outcry the bandits shouted for joy as they charge the town like a wave of tsunami 

"****! Kill! Destroy!" They shouted

Upon witnessing they're vigor Jack couldn't helped himself but grin at they're demise

"Why? I tried to help people but they just abandoned me! betrayed me! they don't want me to play hero!? then fine I'll be the villain"

         I got sick over the last week, and had no opurtinity to write. However I am going to continue writing like any responsibly author, but I came here to discuss my side stories. As you probably know Broken Sum isn't out yet even though I told you to read it, for that I'm truly sorry. Eight really is hard to write, far harder than my other characters. Because I'm trying to make all of my characters seem like they're somewhat human not just pieces of paper with a few adjectives pasted on. However the issue is with the entire origin of the vampires, and since it's important to the main story that you understand what they are I'm going to briefly explain it. 
         The Vampire project began in the second Era by the order of the 17th Emperor, Jack Lustra, to create super human soldiers that could utilize darkness. Ronald Tanner was the lead researcher under Jack and came to the discovery that the corrupted Ather, also known as Demons, could breed with humans. With said knowledge Ronald created One, and with her the one series. One was born of a human female and a demon male, which led to many defects in both her personality and power set. However twenty years later Two was born of a demon female and human male, which told Richard that you need a high quality female for high quality children in the ather species.
         To make this slightly shorter I am going to just tell you that vampires are supposed to be the ultimate weapons of humanity, not functioning humans/ather. Getting back on track Two is the mother of the vampires that are most common in the land, but that was because the one series might as well be human females. Later Three was born of a different process, but had too many issues and great instability. Later Ronald stepped down because he doesn't want to create anything else in that much pain. He was replaced by his assistant Nigel.
         Under Nigel the four series was born followed by the six series, eight series, and nine series. To avoid spoilers for my stories I'm not going to tell U their power sets, but I'll tell you that with each new iteration a normal human function was either changed or switched off completely. Eight was the most inhuman of them all because... nevermind I'm not going to continue else I might spoil it.
         Now regarding the other side stories I will continue updating, but at a more regular pace... The Demon King's Report will continue updating and will have a real explanation for all the races, countries, and major things I believe are important. On the other hand legend of Etmata will do 500 or so chapters on a bimonthly basis. Now I must say thank you for reading this and I'll tell you when my other stuff updates. 

Argent, The Emperor of Huma, has fallen and humanity approaches its final days. However, he was blessed with a second chance, to right the wrongs that were afflicting his country, and save his realm from destruction, (with a little help of course). The story is on hiatus until February.

*****************
Detailed Report about a new Hero Team.

Approximately around 9 pm on January 22, 2018, a Hero Group known as Travelers appeared in a fight between the supervillain Glacia and new Hero called 'Signum'. 
The new Hero made quick work of the supervillain, with the said group leaving the area with Signum.
All the Mind Type SHA Agents have made an approximate report about the Traveler's and Signum's Power Classifications and Classes.

KHORA: Class S Ranger Type, and possible Class A Domain Type. Possesses the ability to project sword attacks at a distance, with these projected attacks seemingly stronger than the sword attack itself, hinting at a possible strength-enhancing ability. SHA Agents also determined that Khora has possible space manipulation abilities, hence the tentative Domain Type. If seen alone, do not engage unless necessary.

DRYAD: Class S Domain Type and Class A Controller Type. Possess the ability to induce massive levels of plant growth in a large area. Also has the ability to manipulate the said plants. A possible Metahuman with her green-skinned appearance. If seen alone, do not engage unless necessary.

SIGNUM: Class A Domain Type and Class A Reacher Type. Can create mathematical symbol stickers which she can sticks on an object in order for it to work. SHA Agents determined that the said sticker can somehow manipulate the chemical and physical properties of the object it was stuck to. More analysis is needed to identify the real power of the stickers. If seen alone, do not engage unless necessary.

ELDRITCH: Class S Ranger Type, Class A Shifter Type, and Class A Strongman Type. Has the ability to shift into a tentacle monster form with advanced durability. Also has the ability to shoot destructive blasts that gouged Glacia's armor. Not a Metahuman since the tentacle state is the result of shifting. If seen alone, do not engage unless necessary.


Overall assessment: 
The Travelers are tentatively pegged as a City-Level Team although power testing can change this Level, along with the power classes and classifications.

Disclaimer: (((Don't make me credit to einlion. His novel, Endless Paths: Infinite Cosmos, from the reception of his readers, is obviously good,  but its an accident that my title is similar to his. Really.)))

Later on, in the evening, Jack sat in his room in deep thought. During the previous night he'd realised there was a rather fatal flaw in the way he'd been training up to this point. In fact, it was so fatal that he almost wanted to slap himself in the face for having neglected it.

The problem was that he'd been wholly reliant on the Harmony of Everything and had tossed aside the very basics of martial arts: technique, discipline, and control. The Harmony of Everything was an incomparably tyrannical cultivation method that boasted rapid advancement speed and superior strength to martial practitioners at the same level, but its true might wasn't that fact; rather, it was its ability to incorporate any technique into its cultivation.

As its name implied, anything could be harmonised through it.

However, Jack had been concentrating too much on the method itself, ignoring its ability to accommodate any technique into its repertoire as long as the practitioner trained it. This, coupled with how unfamiliar his body felt, ultimately meant that he was far from the technical proficiency he was so proud of during his time in the Abyss.

To remedy this shortcoming of his, Jack knew he needed to choose a few techniques to begin practicing in order to fully familiarise himself with the state of his body and properly exert the right amounts of strength at exactly the right timing.

Before he began cultivating the first chapter of the Harmony of Everything, he needed to raise his technical proficiency to the degree wherein he could easily overpower opponents of a higher realm of cultivation.

The reason this could be achieved by practicing a few techniques was firstly by experiencing the flow of qi from his meridians; secondly, to show him how much energy he'd need for a given movement at any time; and thirdly, to break into his new body by testing its limits and interiorising the information.

To put it differently, the Harmony of Everything turned his body into a massive reservoir of water. Without the proper tools to extract that water and channel it to the right places whenever necessary, the reservoir itself wouldn't be half as useful as it could potentially be. By practicing advanced combat and martial techniques, he'd effectively be giving himself those necessary tools to fully use the power within the Harmony of Everything.

As such, Jack was deciding on what techniques to focus on.

Martial techniques were wholly different to cultivation methods, although one couldn't exist without the other. A cultivation method was a means to draw and store qi within one's body, proceed and break through higher realms of martial practice. A martial technique used the qi within the body to power itself. The stronger the technique, the more qi it required.

In addition, martial techniques all had several realms of mastery that a practitioner needed to break through in order to draw out more power from the technique. These were divided into five levels of mastery: initial, intermediate, upper, advanced, and perfect. To break through the levels, each technique had its own requirements and conditions; but they all shared in common that it was only possible when there was a breakthrough in comprehension involved.

To give an example, Jack had once read of a technique called the Thirty-six Palms of Chaos. At initial mastery, the one who trained this technique would strike out with one earth-shattering palm strike. At intermediate, the user would strike with up to six palms, then thirteen, twenty-two, and finally, once perfect mastery was achieved, up to thirty-six palms could be used to utterly destroy an opponent.

Of course, there were many ranks of techniques depending on how powerful they were and how effective they could be in combat. The higher the quality of the technique, the stricter were its requirements to practice and fully cultivate to perfection.

The widespread means of ranking the quality of techniques was divided in several tiers; those being: human, earth, sky, transcendence, disaster, heaven, saint, supreme, and cosmic. Each of these realms was further divided into four levels, mainly lower, middle, higher, and peak.

Thankfully, during his time in the Abyss library, he'd been in contact with thousands of amazing techniques of various degrees of power he could now put to use. Back then, he'd been stripped of his cultivation and so he hadn't had the ability to train them, but now he had the chance to do so.

He began rummaging through his memories and going over them in his mind, discarding techniques that weren't appropriate for him or that they demanded a much higher cultivation base before he could even look at them. That excluded all saint tier techniques and upwards.

After a few hours of careful selection, Jack finally assembled an assortment of seven techniques that he wanted to train in and which were extremely compatible with his present state and situation.

The first was, of course, the Exploding Fist; a higher disaster tier technique. He chose this technique partly because he already experienced it previously and, secondly, because besides its astonishing power output, it also had the added advantage of it being capable of helping him train the flow of qi throughout his body.

The second was a movement technique called Shadow Steps; which belonged to the list of intermediate disaster tier techniques. Shadow Steps was useful in close quarter combat as it allowed for short bursts of movement so swift, that when it was practiced to perfection, left afterimages behind that confused the enemy and allowed for tricky engagements and attacks at an opponent's blind spot.

The third was another movement technique that combined with shadow steps beautifully and completely negated its shortcomings called the Azure Dragon Step. This movement technique was a whole tier higher than Shadow Steps, being an intermediate heaven tier technique. The Azure Dragon Step allowed its practitioner to move like a dragon, twisting at impossible angles and changing positions seemingly without any sense or pattern. In addition, it was useful for moving with the speed of a true dragon over long distances when mastered. This technique would be useful to Jack both inside of combat and when travelling all over the world.

The fourth was a series of sword arts similar to the Japanese style iaido of the peak disaster realm. This was the Quick Draw; a set of movements wherein to quickly, yet effectively, cut down opponents with a simple draw of the sword by aiming at their vitals with speed that the eye couldn't follow. If you added profound qi and Jack's bodily strength into the equation, then the speed with which he'd strike out would be more than destructive.

The fifth was also, in a sense, a weapon art, because it didn't really focus on any weapon in particular. In fact, its main teaching was to turn every bit of the practitioner into a weapon capable of harvesting life on the battlefield. With it, a practitioner could break swords, splinter shields, and tear through armour with their bare hands. Its name had also been lost to the passage of time, but Jack had baptised it as the Warring Claw. This technique belonged to the higher heaven tier.

The sixth wasn't a technique he'd obtained by himself in the Abyss library. Rather, it was something Belial had rewarded him with roughly one thousand years after he arrived at the Abyss. It was a higher heaven tier technique called the Revolving Trigrams; a series of finger strikes aimed at the different acupoints of an opponent, allowing for crippling effects with the mere poking of a finger at the right place.

This was the technique he'd used against Hannah and her father the previous night, but he wasn't proud of his performance with it.

Jack chose to re-cultivate this technique firstly because he'd already mastered it to perfection in the Abyss after using it for thousands of years. The only factor impeding him from reaching that level right then and there were his bodily limitations. Secondly, this was a technique with an amazing potential for medicine and other positive effects that he hadn't had the chance to explore whilst in the Abyss. The main reason, however, is that he would be able to triumph over enemies far greater in size than him by striking at their weak spots in ways they couldn't even begin to fathom.

Finally, there was the seventh technique. From a certain point of view, this was the most important and powerful of the techniques Jack had chosen. Its name was Absolute Vision.

It was a mental technique that focused on one's eyes and enhanced them in order to see the flow of qi within a small radius around the practitioner; and it required them to first learn how to perceive the flow of qi using their spiritual sense and then drawing their soul strength into their eyes to turn that spiritual information into a visual one. 

The advantage of this was two-fold. Firstly, it would allow whoever trained in this method to cultivate faster given that they could see the flow of qi in the environment; which could also mean seeing where spiritual herbs were growing, given that there was usually a heavy stream of qi surrounding them since they absorbed it to grow. Secondly, when the technique was trained to greater levels, the practitioner would be able to see the flow of qi within the body of their opponent, meaning they could anticipate attacks and even counter them before the opponent ever had the opportunity to strike.

What was most peculiar about this technique was that it didn't have a set tier that it belonged in. In other words, it grew alongside the user and could, theoretically, reach the highest tier possible tier alongside the user. However, Jack had no concrete evidence of this beyond his own impressions from when he discovered the technique deep inside the Abyss Library, in an extremely well-concealed and closely guarded section of it.

Overall, he was very satisfied with his choices.

Betrayed and murdered, he spent an eternity battling in the armies of the Abyss until he was given a new chance on life.
