In a safe house opened for all the citizens of Visgard city Rhen and Mark was searching for a certain person, Mark's father.
The building was big enough to house two thousand people and without anything entertaining, they were all watching each other.
So far there's been no progress in their search, so they went and sat down on one corner.
"What do you plan on doing now? He's not here." Rhen asked.
"Wait for my luck to shine."
"Shouldn't we check other places with few people?" Rhen asked, standing up. "come on, let's go, we've waited too long."
"(Sighs) I guess so." Mark said, standing up too. They started making their way to the door, Rhen was staring at the device with her.
"I think three people are approaching this building." Rhen said.
"Definitely not my dad."Mark stated.
"You can't be so sure, we need to at least clarify." Rhen replied.
They went out of the building and went straight ahead, where the dots was detected. It was two matured men with a boy.
"Jade!" Rhen shouted, running towards the group. "You are alive! Who are these guys?"
"They are...."
"Dad?!"Mark interrupted Jade, trying to inspect the doctor. "Dad, I've been searching for you."
"Dad! Wow! Someone had a son." Joe teased.
"Mark, aren't you mistaken, this man is a.... What! Why didn't I notice it, you guys really look alike and you mentioned he was a scientist... trying to save the world." Jade realized, his eyes wide open.
"Wait wait wait, you are Mark Bryan my son!" The doctor exclaimed. "You've really grown up"
"Oh boy! Now there's a reunion." Rhen said. "So Jade, your small brains couldn't notice the resemblance but that aside, what are doing with them?"
"I think it's best you guys go back to the safehouse and enjoy your reunion." Joe advised, waiting for their opinions but they all agreed.
They went back to the safehouse and started their discussion.
"Jade, how did you get to meet my dad?" Mark asked.
"Ahh he kinda saved me from that crazy grogg, when I woke up I was in his lab."
"Lab? What were you creating or experimenting dad?!" Mark asked excitedly.
"Alright, I think you guys are forgetting the main questions." Rhen stated. "Why don't you tell us why you never came to visit Mark."
"(Sighs) I was trying to help these people because they don't have abilities like us. When I was about to leave Visgard about sixteen years ago, the vice president came to me for help. He wanted me to create an ability drug to help them fend off the groggs, the east was already taken over, they needed help so I decided to lend a hand." The doctor explained. "I told your mom that I'd come back once I'm done and she agreed. I created those guns for them but it wasn't enough as you can see, the city has been destroyed. Last seven years, I completed the experiment and unfortunately the lab got exploded, me and Joe managed to survive with me losing one arm. But don't worry, I'm finally done, once I give this to the vice president, we can go home. " Dr Bryan concluded.
"Who do you think he would use it on?" Jade asked.
"Is that my business? I've done my part and it's left for him to do his." Dr Bryan replied, gazing at Mark.
"Did you know that Takeki was under attack about three times and we couldn't outright defeat them? we had to form a truce with other villages." Mark asked, waiting for an answer.
"That's unfortunate, who would have thought so? Visgard has been holding up on their own, there's not much to worry about so I'll just take some ammunition back to the village." The doctor said, staring at Mark gloves. "Did you make those?"
"Yeah, I did, what about it?" Mark asked.
"It's nice." The doctor commented. " You are interested in science too huh! Well back to you guys, what are you looking for?"
"I found what I was looking for, so don't worry, we can leave anytime." Jade replied.
"Can I ask you something, how does the drug work?" Rhen asked.
"It's simple, either injected or drank it will activate our fire abilities, though it's just for a day. If only I had more geniuses like Joe I would have made it permanent but I'm sure it won't be much of a problem if they produce enough duplicates and combine it with their weapons." Dr Bryan explained.
"Dr Bryan, it getting dark, we need to get the report done." Joe reminded.
"Alright, I have to leave, we'll be back in a day or two." Dr Bryan said, standing up to leave.

Dr Bryan and Joe left for the vice president office to report their information leaving the three of them in the safehouse.
The three discussed as usual, talked about what they've seen in the shot span and what their next plan is until someone asked an unexpected question.
"Mark can I ask you something?" Jade asked. "What do you think about the drug your dad created?"
"Honestly, I think the idea isn't really the best. It really might backfire at us if it falls into the wrong hands after the war ends." Mark stated.
"It's best we just let everything play out before we take actions." Rhen advised.
A day had passed and the citizens were gradually leaving the safehouse since everything was finally getting back to normal. Getting to noon, Joe and Dr Bryan arrived at the safehouse.
They left the safehouse and began their journey to the west pole though Joe followed them as he had no where to go, everywhere was destroyed.
Getting to the central market they heard a loud explosion, turning to the direction they saw a mushroom-like smoke. They ignored and continue their journey but as soon as they turned back another one exploded, minutes later people were screaming and running towards their direction.
"What the hell is going on there?!"Jade exclaimed.
Minutes later an army of soldiers appeared and were firing ammunitions but sooner the noise of gun fire was reducing. The group ran towards the direction of the event.
Getting there they were shocked to death.
"Did that groggs just used a fire ability?" Rhen asked shockingly.
"No way!" Dr Bryan exclaimed. The others stood there with their mouth wild open.
"We have to report this to the village before it's too late." Jade informed them being the first to come out of his daze.
"Sure, I bet they'll never see this coming." Mark commented. They all quickly race towards the West.
Traveling on foot to the west would take four to five days and they needed to report this discovery immediately. Fortunately for them they found a partially damaged car but with three science geniuses that wasn't a problem.
The five of them fitted into the car, Joe was the one driving and eventually they arrived at Takeki village at dawn.
Joe stopped the car at the border, waiting for the others to comment at these view that would put any Takekian in a crazed mode.
"It seems like we were late. They came here earlier than we thought." Mark stated.
"No, it not too late. I'm going to save as many of them that are alive." Jade shouted, running into the village.
This was the first time the groggs were able to get into the village, everywhere was lit up in fire and if one could focus clearly, sounds of screaming would be heard. Just what was going on in there? They had to find out and help.
