บท 31: Come back to real world

"Father? Did you call me?" Hector ask bowing a little, James immediately stands up from his chair and walks to him, "Hector! How long has it been? My son has grown up so fast!" He cheerfully said, hugging him, "Stop it, it's embarrassing." Hector chuckled, hugging him back, "I can't help myself! So, have you had your eyes on a girl? It would be magnificent just by thinking about your wedding!" James let out a heartfelt laugh.

"What is that question?!" Hector yelled embarrassed, "He's been seeing someone." Arkus snickered, "Shut up." Hector scoffs, "Oh, who is this?" James asks holding his chins while having his face close to Arkus, "Too close!" Arkus yelp, "I'm the mighty fox! Arkus!" He said introducing himself. "Arkus…what a good name! When did you meet him, Hector?" James asks looking at his son.

"Uhh…I've met him on my journey. Since he was a baby." Hector snickered raising his right shoulder a bit, where Arkus is sitting, Arkus scowls in reply, "I suppose you two have a good relationship then!" James said clapping both hands. "Oh right! Hector, would you mind getting me my lunch? It's in the kitchen." He smiles pressing both hands together asking for forgiveness.

Hector sigh and smiles a little, "Mhm, sure."

Hector closes the door and begins to walks towards the kitchen, until someone calls him, "Young Master! There's someone to meet you!" The guard said bowing 70 degrees, a man about Hector age stood beside him, with an unfriendly expression.

"Who?" Hector asked, "Why don't you guess it yourself?" the man scowls, his eyes gazing sharply to Hector, Hector smiles twitch in annoyance, "Master…I don't like this person." Arkus said annoyed, "What are you? A fox?" The man said with a mocking tone, "Forget formality. Hey, ass! What do you want?!" Hector shout mocking him, "what did you say?" the man scowls, giving him a dirty look.

"What do you think I call you?" Hector scoffs. "Grr, come here mister act all mighty." The man said approaching him, "Tell me your real reason for coming here." Hector said staring at him, "I want to challenge you for what you've done." The man replies, as suddenly the surrounding changes from the Kingdom hallways to a battlefield.

"What in the world…" Hector muttered looking around, "Master. Imma watch from the side, I don't feel so good about that man." Arkus said running away, "Tch, whatever." Hector scoffs. "Whenever you're ready." The man said cracking his knuckles. "Attention! None shall use weapons! Nor magic! Fistfight only!" The announcer said through the microphone.

"What the hell?" Hector mumble, as the staff takes his weapons away, along with the man in front of him. "Fine. Bring it on!" Hector grins getting his cocky personality back. "You will regret that later!" The man smirks getting into a fighting stance.

Theresa sigh, looking at the burning church in front of her. "May you all rest in peace." She clasps both of her hands and prays for those burned poor souls. "You all were not worthy to die like this." She continues to pray, she stands up when she hears sobbing. And realize…the dimension has once again changed. In front of her, she sees a kid crying in a corner.

She approaches the kid, the kid didn't realize her and continue to cry loudly. Theresa kneels down at his level, "what's wrong? Why are you crying?" She asks softly, the boy looks up and sobs, "when will I see my family, big sis?" The boy asks wiping his tears, Theresa smiles a little and softly caress his hair, "You will, just live your life the best for now."

"Thank you! Big sis! I will definitely live my life the best!" The boy grins happily, "that's the spirit." Theresa grins giving him a thumbs up.

The world suddenly turns white, nothing in there, but a sole person stood there. The person turns around with a dark expression on their face.

"Why? Why didn't you cry like the others? Why?!" The System yelled frustrated, "These were in the past. I've no longer thought much about these." Theresa reply still having her usual sweet looks on her face, "Tch! You ruined it! You were supposed to cry and fall to despair! I hate you!" System continues to trash-talking Theresa, as Theresa closes her eyes. "You will not succeed. None shall succeed in bringing people down." Theresa said until a very bright light covered her vision.

Zeolite gasp and sit on the bed, he quickly sees both of his hands, trembling. "Not that memory again…" he muttered clutching his head, "Zeolite!~ you're awake!" Ashley cheered barges into the sleeper room. "Can you lower your voice?!" Zeolite asks raising his voice, "oops. Sorry." Ashley whisper grinning. "Whatever." Zeolite sigh shaking his head.

"He's asleep?" Zeolite ask looking at the snoring Hector, with Arkus on his lap, "yeah, the whole passengers." Ashley said exiting the room as Zeolite followed, "it means, you too?" Zeolite ask while walking, "nope! Me and Celine and Leon are awake! Along with the enemy." Ashley said proudly, "you said the whole passengers…and who is Leon?" Zeolite asks confused. "Psh! Your asking too much! Let me introduce you to Leon!" Ashley said dragging him. "Oi! Slow down!" Zeolite protest.

"Ah…is this the real world?" Theresa asks up sitting on the bed. "Yep, I guess it is." She said and hop down the bed. "Good day sir." Theresa smiles when she meets the butler, "you too miss." The butler smiles back at her. She walks till she reaches the cart 2.

"Celine!" Theresa called waving, "Theresa! How's your sleep?" Celine ask, "not so good. How'd you know I was asleep? And who are you?" Theresa ask looking at Leon, "greetings! My name is Leon Hansford! It's nice meeting you!" Leon said bowing a little, "nice to meet you, my name is Theresa La Fleur." Theresa smiles and sits next to Celine.

"As for your question, we were awake because of his passive." Celine said, "of course! I called it resistance!" Leon said cheerfully, "I see…what happened when we were asleep?" Theresa ask curiously, "well, someone attack this train, and a fight happened." Celine said, "who?" Theresa ask, "the same person who attack us when you were unconscious. But someone new is in there." Celine shrugs.

"Is this a Shirogane bloodline power? It's embarrassing. So weak." Hector's opponent taunts kicking his stomach, "shut your mouth!" Hector gritted his teeth, punching his face, "guh, that does not hurt at all." His opponent said wiping the blood that trickled down his lips. The fight goes on, until an explosion happens.

Hector's opponent has blown away, leaving only blood-splattered, Hector eyes widened, he looks around, only to finds craters made from the bombs, blood splatters everywhere. No body parts were left, it's like they had bombs planted on their body. "Master!" Arkus shout shoving Hector out of the way, as a bomb is thrown at the position where Hector was standing.

"What happened?" Hector asks fears shows on his eyes, "Trouble! We should get going!" Arkus said bitting on his sleeve, "no! Wait a second! There's a survivor!" Hector said looking at someone who is crying for help, their body is crashed by big debris. "No! Forget about them! Remember! This is not our world!" Arkus yelled trying to convince him, "Real-world or not, I'm gonna do it!" Hector said naively, he runs towards the person.

"Idiot!!! Master is an Idiot!!" Arkus shout, "sir! Are you okay?!" Hector asks trying to get the debris off of him, "h-help…please…I don't want to die…" the person whimper in pain. "Please wait a moment sir! I'll get you out-" Hector stops talking when he sees a bomb is falling right at where he is standing.

Before the bomb can hit him, lights engulfed the whole dimension, making Hector shut his eyes, till someone spoke, "you should really listen to me before."
