"We spent days looking for you, I'm so glad you're back home your dad and brothers will be so happy to see you. Why did you run away?" Wanita says to her daughter as she held on to her tightly, Jolt didn't want to let her go too she has never been away from home without her parents. "I saw some soldiers that came here, I ran but they still came after me luckily I had help from some friends." Jolt tells her Mum and points at a awkward looking Zach, he wished Tony was here cause he knew how to relate with people more than him. "Thank you so.......... Much for bringing my daughter back to me, she's so precious to me I'm really grateful." Wanita extends her hand to Zach for a handshake, he responds quite well. "My brother did most of it, he should be here anytime soon." Zach tells her as he forces a smile. "He and his brother also have some issues with finding somewhere to stay, I was hoping you and Dad will help them out." Jolt says swiftly her mum had never said no to her about anything she wanted so she wasn't expecting her to reject her offer now. "Sure, no problem your dad should be back anytime soon why don't you stay for dinner?" Wanita says to him with ease, Zach was actually surprised that they accepted he and his brother could actually get the perfect place to stay. "Sure." Zach says with a genuine smile, Wanita squeezes with excitement and runs off to set the table. "I told you my parents will help out." Jolt turns around feeling so proud after Zach doubted her throughout the whole day, Zach chuckles he didn't want to get too hopeful but what if something good is actually happening to him. The door of the house opens, Zach quickly got paranoid thinking it was something terrible but it was Jolt dad Jao, her elder brother Jino and another brother of hers Jac. "You're okay!" Jino says as he runs to hug his sister tightly, her dad pats her head everyone was so happy to see her she felt so good. "What happened?" Jao asked her, he looked so happy to see her back at home. "Long story, I'll explain at the dinner table, just know that I'm back home with my family." Jolt says to them. Tony and Kura both walk towards Jolt house but Tony firstly looks through the window to make sure it was safe and he sees her, Zach and her family eating dinner. "I don't think we should go in, it'll feel awkward." Tony turns around and tells a impatient, confused looking Kura who was still bothered about why she knocked off. "Why?" Kura says aggressively while folding her arms. "I know how desperate Jolt has wanted to get home, I just don't want to interrupt them now I'm sure when they're done with dinner we'll figure somethings out." Tony tells her, when he saw Zach he also looked happy which was very strange so he knew Zach probably heard a good news possibly about the house. "Whatever." Kura says rudely and walks away, Tony wondered what was wrong with her. "Wait up." Tony yells at her then quickly follows her from behind. Back in Jolt house, the family is having a dinner and everything was going so well, Wanita knew how to make a great meal, everyone was cracking jokes and for the first time in awhile Zach wasn't behaving like a grumpy old man he laughed, talked a little and was genuinely having a good time. "So are you going to tell us what actually happened?" Jino says after laughing his ass off by the amount of jokes Jao cracked. "Not until you guys tell me why the military came to our place." Jolt says cause no one had said anything about it she was getting suspicious. "We don't really know much but we'll tell you our side of the story after we know how our daughter got to Zach and came back here." Jao says with a smile, he had a very persuading voice and attitude. "Fine..................." Jolt begins to narrate displaying some events with her hands, Zach looked at how happy the family were this triggered a memory inside him about his family before the terrible things came towards them. In a flashback, a very young Zach and Tony are running around a cabin house, there were bunch of colourful light bulbs around the ceiling of the place. After running for so long young Tony lays on the ground already tired Zach taps him. "It's your turn to find me." Zach says excitedly and before he could run Farrell the soldier from the other time carries him, he looked so happy here unlike the times in the present where he was always frowning. "It's time for dinner brothers." Farrell says to them, he dragged Tony legs to the dinner table they were always stubborn when it comes to eating they both preferred being dragged. "What are we eating?" Tony asked as he was getting dragged, Farrell rolls his eyes. "Rice with chicken." He responds and drops Zach on the floor as he had gotten them to the dinning. "Get up from the floor boys." A lady says to them, she was the woman in the portrait that Tony kept with him, she was their sister and was the eldest out of all of them. "You hate fun Nii." Zach says her nams he got up from the floor, he and Tony struggles for a seat even though they were so many other chairs to sit on Zach being the stronger one pushes Tony on the floor and gets the sit. "Both of you should behave." Nii says gently, she sat on the chair Farrell hated the way she pretends to be a goody two shoes. "Let them have some fun, I know you always have fun when you go see that boy next door." Farrell whispers to her as he sat beside Nii, she punches his hand wanting him to keep quiet about whatever she was keeping. "Don't say that." Nii says to him softly, Zach wondered what they were talking about but there was no time to ask any questions they're parents both slowly walk to the dinning table. "That's enough talking kids, let's pray to Lord Xom and thank him for the food." A woman says with a soft voice that sounded like a angel. Im the present, Zach was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even hear Jolt who was beside him calling his name constantly until she tapped him. "Zach?" Jolt says wondering if he was okay, everyone was staring at him awkwardly. "What were you talking about?" Zach says pretending to have been listening. "My dad was asking that is it true that we had an encounter with a Giant and you just froze up." Jolt says to him swiftly, he murmured at first thinking of what to say Wanita got worried. 'Its true............... We did encounter luckily our friend had some snacks to give him and he left us alone." Zach says swiftly pretending everything was fine, he missed his family so much. "So now you tell us what happened when the military came?" Jolt says with a smirk, Zach also paid attention to what her parents wanted to say cause he had no trust in the government. "They were looking for you, they said whatever is inside you is evil and needs to be contained." Jao says sadly as he faces his head down. "Did you know about this? That a strange power or being was living inside of me." Jolt says to them, if they knew she was going to be really pissed cause how could they hide something like that from her. "We had no idea, we're just as confused as you." Wanita says swiftly, Zach didn't trust them but he felt it was just his insecurity he had for trusting people. "At least I'm learning how to use the power, my friend Kura is helping me out." Jolt says, Jino was surprised and quickly asked her to show it to them. "Liar, let's see what you can do." Jino teases her, she lets out a smile Jolt wanted to prove to them since they all doubted her she also wanted to levitate something bigger but felt it wouldn't work so she focused on a tiny glass cup. "I got this." Jolt says to herself in her head, she slowly breathes out and the cup slowly raises off the table. Everyone exhaled on the dinning table surprised about what she was doing, Jolt smiles and felt so proud of herself that she began to lose focus the cup suddenly burst in mid air with particles of it all around the table, floor and the water inside it was all on the table and around everyone face. "Oh no." Jolt says disappointed at herself. Kura and Tony were sitting on a chair somewhere around the town that wasn't far from Jolt place they could easily look at it from afar, Kura was quiet throughout this got Tony worried. "Are you okay?" Tony asked her out of concern, she didn't want to respond but she also didn't want to have this burden inside her alone. "I'm just sick of everything................ What next? I mean Jolt is already back home but what about me and my memory how do I get it back?" Kura says to him softly, she had come to the conclusion that the Witch was lying about people helping her with her memories or maybe she just followed the wrong people. "I don't know what to say but Jolt said her parents always figure things out, maybe they can help you." Tony says to her he always wanted people around him to feel better. "Are you sure about that?" Kura says to him she wanted to hold on to something that could her. "Yeah, I mean Zach is smiling in there so something definitely good came out of there conversation." Tony tells her with a smile, she felt a little bit better but didn't want to show it. "When I was little anytime I felt sad, my mum was always there telling me to Lord Xom, be happy and stay hopeful." Tony says as he lays his back on a chair, thinking about all the fun and special moments he had with her. "Where is your Mum?" Kura asked cause she knew he and Zach were all alone, she thought if she was being insensitive but Tony wasn't angry. "Her and my dad were taken away........ Some military men came to get them and took them away from I and my brother." Tony voice was cracking as he talked, tears filled his eyes he slowly breathes out and goes on. "I still have this hope that they're alive, I pray to Lord Xom every night that they come back to I and my brother safely." Tony didn't stop to pray about his parents everyday, he always believed that they'll come back to him one way or the other Kura slowly lays her head on his shoulder. They were both quiet for awhile cause it felt so awkward after what Tony had just said, a young girl about Kura and Tony age walks past them slowly. "She looks hot." Kura says with a devilish smirk. "You like women?" Tony says to her gently, everywhere was so quiet and peaceful. "Yeah.............. You don't?" Kura says to him gently. "Men and Women." Tony says swiftly but Kura felt she knew who he was crushing on. "You like Jolt, it's easy to tell." Kura teases him, he pushes her softly trying to ignore what she just said but she already got him. "What?! No." Tony tells her swiftly, he was still a little bit confused whether he liked her or not but he definitely felt something for her. In a flashback, young Tony and his Mum are on a horse she needs to take him to a doctor after he had just injured his leg but Tony didn't like taking drugs, potions and other medical stuff. "I'm scared Mum, I don't want to go there." He cries out to his Mum, he had been begging her since he knew he was going to the hospital. "Don't worry everything will be fine, just pray to Lord Xom about it." She tells him, the horse stopped running they had arrived to the place it was a building having the shape of a cave only Tony could go in cause whoever was treating them didn't support too much people in his hospital. "Lord Xom, would He listen to something that isn't worth His mighty time." Tony says to her, he thought she was lying to him about it just to get him to go inside. "Lord Xom listens to all our worries, just when you get there pray inside your mind and ask that whatever is being done to you shouldn't hurt you and I promise Xom will hear your prayers." She says to him softly and she was also quite convincing, Tony believed like her like how every child will believe their parents the thing is whatever drugs or potions and injection he was given wasn't painful Tony was just paranoid. "Pray........... To Lord Xom." Tony says to himself slowly and confidently walks into the doctor hospital. After waiting for three minutes, Tony runs out of the hospital his Mum was quite shocked cause most time when they visit the doctor it takes time before Tony comes out but this time he came out early and looks happy too. He ran towards her and gave her a big hug. "Mum, you were right I should have been doing this lately praying to Lord Xom really helped me out I didn't feel anything." Tony says to her swiftly, he took what she told him serious and decided that he'll always pray to Xom anytime he wanted something or felt something terrible was about to happen to him. Back in the present, Jolt is in the kitchen thinking about what just happened with her powers she also wondered what's next for her she couldn't just wait till the government found her and she also couldn't allow whatever was living inside her stay there. Wanita came to her knowing something was disturbing her. "What's going on with you?" Wanita says softly. "My question is will I get my normal life back? What about the soldiers? What about this thing inside me? I just want to be that normal girl living her normal life Mum that's all I want." Jolt says to her, she feared the military will still come for her and what could her parents do to help her she wondered. "Listen, your dad younger brother is a soldier we went to him and he promised to help you out with your current situation and about the powers........... I'm sure there's someone powerful that can take it away from you." Wanita tells her confidently, the way Wanita told her felt so right to Jolt that she had hope. "Well if you say so Mum, no problem." Jolt says then hugs her quickly, she knew her parents would have a solution for everything. Zach was at the hallway looking at some of Jolt family pictures, he wondered where her other brothers were he also still had a bad feeling of staying here. Jino approaches him. "Hey, wanted to thank you for bringing my sister back to me." Jino says gently he thought Zach was feeling left out but Zach just wanted to be left alone. "Yeah........... Hmm, what about your other siblings? Are they okay?" Zach asked suspiciously but it was already explained in the dinner table where they went to Zach wasn't just paying attention. "Where was your mind when we were eating? We split up when we were looking for Jolt so I, my dad and brother came early while the rest will probably be on there way." Jino says to him swiftly and lays his shoulder on the wall, he grabbed one of the pictures that was on the wall, it was a picture of Jolt when she was a baby. "I was so worried, you have no idea what it means to be separated from your family." Jino tells him with a low tone, Zach mind went to his parents and how they were kidn*pped he always knew how to keep his emotions intact. " Trust me I do, let me go check on Jolt." Zach tells him. In a flashback, young Zach and Tony sit on a chair beside their siblings about to take a family picture together. "You should all pretend like you get along." Their dad says to them as he struggles to take the picture, Tony and Zach were constantly fighting while the older ones were bickering. "Come on guys, your dad might not do this again." Their mum says trying to persuade them. "That's enough!" Nii says authoritatively, after awhile of still bickering they finally got their s**t together and pose for the family picture. "Good, I like this." Their dad says as he was about to take it a the wall of their house suddenly explodes hitting everyone in the house. Zach looks around and everywhere was filled with smokes, furnitures destroyed, blood around the house. A group of soldiers walk in through the broken wall with their guns and black coloured armour that covered their whole body. "Who are you people?" The mum says while laying on the ground, she tried to move closer to her unconscious children but was injured on the leg. "You people will come with us for the sake of GOBTU and be part of our Supernatural experiment." The Soldier says as he points his big Ray gun on the parents. In the present, Jolt washes the dishes that we're used to eat dinner even though her mum refused multiple times she wanted to do it, it made her feel at home and normal. Her duplicate suddenly appears beside her, she looked so worried. "You need to get out of here." The duplicate says with a very deep and scary voice, Jolt was trying her best to ignore her but the duplicate kept on repeating the same sentence all over and over again. "Get out of my head!" Jolt yells at the top of voice, it echoes around the kitchen causing some of the plates to shake but she quickly calmed herself down the duplicate vanishes since Jolt wasn't ready to listen. Zach quickly walks up to her. "We need to get out of here I don't trust these people." Zach says not considering how Jolt will feel about what he said. "These people............ Are my family, I know you might have trust issues but I trust with my life Zach." Firstly her duplicate told her to leave now Zach is sating the same, Jolt was getting angry and was trying her best to calm down so she couldn't unleash whatever is inside her. "Yeah............ I need to find my brother, I've not seen him and Kura." Zach says, he turned around hoping that if Tony was here with him everything will be better but he suddenly began to feel dizzy Jolt notices that he was waking sluggishly. "Are you fine?" Jolt says as she rushes to help him out, he was slowly losing conscience and his eyes were spinning around, he wondered what was going on with him. "The........... Food." Zach says and knocks off, Jolt was feeling dizzy too but tried to resist it so she could help Zach. "Get............... Up Zach." Tolu says and slowly knocks off too. Kura and Tony were both cracking jokes together, they bought some chocolate around a shop near them they enjoyed each other company but Kura blacks out and stopped talking. "Are you okay?" Tony asked her but she doesn't respond, looking at him she had no idea who he was and she walks away going towards the woods Tony follows her from behind constantly calling her name until she finally snaps out of it. "What happened?" Kura says confused looking around the town she saw something else when she blacked out. "I don't know you were walking towards the woods again, what did you see?" Tony says swiftly, Kura felt that same headache that she felt last time. "I don't know............ I saw giant tower and everywhere was so bright like the sun." Kura saw more things but those were what she could only remember, Tony began to think with what she told him and thought of something. "You said everything was bright like the sun................. Maybe you're from the SUN WORLD." Tony says swiftly, Kura had never heard of that before. "What's that?" Kura asked quickly they were finally figuring things out. "It's another Kingdom far from here." Tony tells her Kura doubted him at first but remembers about her passport that was in her pocket when she woke up in the forest. "Can you read this or do you know if this is the language they speak there?" Kura gives him the passport, Tony couldn't understand a single thing that was written there but thought maybe Zach will know something. "Zach knows a lot about history let's check up on them I hope they're out from the house." Tony says positively but as they were approaching the house they saw a group of soldiers around the place, a spaceship floating on top of the place and a group of soldiers walking out of the house carrying a unconscious Jolt and Tony. "What the............." Tony couldn't finish what he was saying, he and Kura quickly hid behind a chair. "What's going on there?" Kura asked confused. "It's the military, they're taking them away." Tony says thinking of what to do next. "Are we sure that they didn't agree to follow? Jolt did say her parents were going to help out." Kura says trying to remain positive. "No, one thing about my brother is he won't leave me here all by myself and he'll certainly never trust the government." Tony says to her boldly, his head was filled with different thoughts on how he was going to get him back. "Then we need to get them back by any means possible." Jolt says confidently, she still believed that Jolt and Zach were going to lead her to her past and wasn't going to allow anyone ruin it.
