Amane and Sanzang are in the helicopter, trying to find her way into Texas. “Say, why were you so adamant on taking out the Old Novas. You don’t seem noble or heroic, so you don’t care about the damage they’re causing, you clearly don’t care about money judging by your clothes.” Amane said, causing Sanzang to scowl. “So what is it? Why do you care about ending the reign of the Old Novas?”. “Ajesh raised me for ten years. He took me in when I was five. He was seven. We were both orphans, and he needed more help than I did, but he didn’t care. Despite different ethnicities we still consider each other brothers. I’m repaying all he’s done for me, even if it kills me.” Sanzang explained. “So you’re all orphans. Ethan was left in Korea by his parents, and we became friends. My parents decided to live in Japan, but I wanted to stay. Me and Ethan would fight demons all the time, till he was found and taken back to America, where he ran away. Lysander was completely raised by Elias, but I don’t know if he’s his biological father. Thea was raised by the siblings of Five Seasons City. Don’t you think they hold grudges against the Old Novas too?” Amane asked. “I don’t care. I’m getting my brother back.” Sanzang answered, annoyed. “We’ll be in Texas in a day. Imma take a nap, can you make sure we don’t crash?” Amane says, and Sanzang nods. Back in Korea, El Lysander and Thea were making a plan. “So you two know exactly how the base is formatted, so you guys need to find Elias and Haru. I have a grudge against mom, so I’ll go against her. And Ethan wants Miguel. No reason why he’s saying that though. I’m assuming Sanzang will go after Elias. Actually El you know where Ajesh is getting kept, so you go after him. Everyone good?” Thea explained. “So Athena’s wisdom is useful! Good job.” Lysander said. Ethan was outside, practicing with his staff. “Extend, shrink, expand, contract.” Ethan commanded, causing the staff to follow them. Ethan made it as long as normal, and started spinning it. “What did Wukong want? Why was it so important that I was in China?” The staff transformed back into a toothpick. “I’m losing my touch. It’s getting harder to manifest Jingubang. It takes too much Soul. I’ll need to fight with my hands soon. Maybe if I could master my Overload. Actually…” Ethan continued his practice, but his technique became more refined. He manifested his staff again, and his movements were more like someone who specializes in staff martial arts. “I’ve seen someone do this before, but I don’t remember who or when.” Ethan commented. “If I focus less on using my spells and more on my staff, I should be able to control it for more time.”. At Five Seasons City Kenji was working on his mech, fixing it with new metal. Jackson went down to the basement to ask what he’s doing. “Thea sent a voice memo. She said they needed help to take down the Old Novas.” Kenji explained. Tabia ran down the stairs and yelled “THEA NEEDS HELP TO GO TO TEXAS!”. Kenji and Jackson looked at each other then at her. “We know.” they both said. Kenji took down the mech from its chains and went in it. “Atlas Armor VX in motion. Fitted with the mystery metal from Greece. Now let’s go.” Kenji said, walking to the stairs, before realizing the armor was too big. “Can one of you guys send the jet to Korea and activate the elevator so I can get out?” Kenji asked them. They did as instructed and the jet was sent and Kenji went in the elevator. “I’ll go find Sanzang and Amane. You guys go with the jet.” Jackson said, going into the chariot. “Ay, you''re using something I made, pay up.” Kenji said. Jackson pressed a button on the chariot, sending five bucks to Kenji, and going with the jet out the mansion and trying to find the helicopter. Sanzang was driving and saw a projection of Hanuman next to him. “What do you want?” Sanzang asks him, annoyed. “Why are you seeking revenge? You aren’t like this normally.” Hanuman asked. “You don’t get it. You’re a god.” Sanzang replies. “I get it, but you know that if you waited you could’ve gotten your friends to help.” Hanuman explains, but Sanzang looks away. “Impossible to convince you huh? Fine. Don’t come crying to me if you get hurt.” Hanuman says, before disappearing. “Amane! We’ve arrived.” Sanzang yelled, waking her up. When they arrived at a large military base surging with Soul, they got down and went in. While they did that, Thea, Lysander, El and Ethan were all in the jet above them. Sanzang and Amane went into the base, expecting the worst. And then they were met with Alaric. “I’ll deal with him, go take care of Elias.” Amane said. Sanzang nodded, rubbed some dust off his torn shirt, and ran through the base.  Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
