"I will prove that right here." Dan said as he saw the weird looks people were giving him.
He pointed at one of the two who lost consciousness at the same time as him, that young man was a crewman from Mad Dog's team who decided to follow them:
"You are one of the other two who lost consciousness at the same time as me right?"
"Y... Yes." the young man wasn't expecting to be pointed at so he was a little bit surprised, but he still answered after he returned to his senses.
"Can I ask you what world you have memories of?" Dan asked.
"It... It's a world where there were long gigantic trees everywhere, and gigantic insects... Wait wh... Why I can remember this so clearly it wasn't like this before...?" The young man was explaining what type of world it was before he noticed a weird thing as he shouted the last part.
"Ok that's enough, what about you? Are the memories which you have about the same world?" Dan first stopped the young man before asking the other person who lost consciousness, he was a blood ability user who decided that taking his chances with Dan and the others would be better than dying just like that at an underground base.
"Yes, I have memories of the same world, and just like him the memories in my head become clearer after I lost consciousness." the blood power user said.
The other people there didn't show any reaction after hearing their words, but the expressions of Nero and the other five changed, as they remembered something.
"All of you know how, me and the other six here aren't from the same world as you, that's something all of you should know, and another thing you should know is if you have memories of a world and you go to that world the memories in your head of the said world become clearer.
"So with that and what happened to me and the other two, I will tell you that we have already left the dragons world, and we are right now in the waters of another world, and this also means that we have already passed half our journey." Dan said.
When he woke up after losing consciousness because of pain he noticed that the memories of one world had became clearer, that surprised him and he almost couldn't believe it, but then he looked again and he saw that they really were clearer, the same as what happened to him when he first went to the dragons' world, and how the memories about that area become clearer than the other memories.
That was the reason why he was so happy when he woke up, he understood that they had really left the dragons' world and that they only had to hold on for just an other half a month or so 'old timing'.
He didn't feel any pain the first time because he was unconscious when he made it to that area, but that time he was awake so he had to suffer a little.
Of all the people in the dining room the first to understand what Dan said were Nero and the other five, as they guessed what he was going to say as soon as the other two said that they had the same memories about the same area, so when he said that they had already left the dragons area and that they were in the waters of another area all together, they all stood up and showed expressions of pleasant surprise on their faces.
Then the other people finally started understanding what he had said, as they showed shocked unbelieving expressions, that was actually the last thing they expected to hear when Dan asked for their attention.
Yet it was what they heard, the idea of them leaving the dragons Area finally started blooming in their heads as they saw the happy expressions of Dan and the other six, they then started shouting and hugging each other.
There were some people who didn't truly believe what Dan said but because the happy atmosphere that the majority of people there had they also couldn't stop themselves from having that silver of hope that it was actually true and that they had really left that horrible place making them really excited.
Dan left them to vent their feeling for a while before saying:

"Everyone please calm down a little, I have a few things to say."
After everyone calmed down he added:
"We are already half way through this long journey, we need nothing, food is enough and even if it's not we can get fish, water is something we can get easily by using Leonard's ability, we have nothing to worry about, we only need to hold on for a little bit more and we will leave this ship and enter a new world... But here comes the problem."
When Dan said the first part of his words everyone there showed happy smiles as they thought about the future that awaited them in a world with no dragons or anything like that, but then when he made it to the part where he mentioned a problem all of them stopped smiling and looked at him awaiting what he wanted to say nervously.
"You see even though we have left the dragon's area and we won't need to worry about them, the world we are going to right now isn't that peaceful either."
Hearing his words the faces of the people there turned pale and they didn't know what to say, they thought that they had left the danger of their area and were going to leave peacefully in the new world but Dan's words made them understand that they were far from the truth.
"Don't worry, even though the new area is dangerous and all, it is actually way better than the one you were in before." Seeing their expressions Dan said that with a smile, then he added:
"In the new world there are no overpowered monsters like the dragons... There are some monsters but they are manageable." Here Dan stopped a little because he actually remembered that there were some monsters in the new area which were just as strong as dragons, but they were rare and he didn't want to scare the people there, so he kept it to himself and kept on going:
"... And you should all know that right now, no one here is a normal person, everyone here, every one of you is a blood power user, you all have to grow stronger, and even if you, as you are now, can't deal with the monsters in the new area, there's still a lot of dragon blood in the ship, and all of us can grow stronger so don't worry, the new world is going to be hard, but not as hard as the one that we were in, the monsters there are going to be strong, but not as strong as the dragons, and you aren't going to be the same as you were before, all of you are stronger."
His words made them calm down a little and they all had a fire ignited in them they wanted to challenge and face whatever they would meet.
"So hear me now as I will tell you about what we will meet in the new area, first there is going to be a lot of trees, the world is full of forests, and those trees are gigantic they are going to be so gigantic that I'm sure you have never seen anything like them, the other thing that you should know about this new area is the monsters in it.
"In the new area which we are going to enter there are going to be a lot of different monsters, not like in your home where there were only dragons, in here there are many type of monsters, but most of them are part of the same family... most of them are insects."
"But of course they aren't going to be normal insects, they are gigantic blood thirsty insects which likes nothing more than eating humans, those are the important things that you all should keep in your minds, but don't worry we still have a long time before finally making it there so we all can get stronger, I will even give everyone two drops of dragon blood." Dan said.
Hearing that they would get dragon blood everyone cheered happily, for them dragon blood was still a precious thing that would make them stronger, so the thought of getting more of it is always a good one.
After that, Dan set down, and they all had their lunch normally and happily.
After lunch Dan left got up and moved toward Thomas who was still setting on his table.
"So Thomas how you find life as an ability user." Dan said while patting him on the shoulder.
"there are some differences but not that much, like how I can just by looking at something I made before understand what went wrong and how I can make it stronger, just things like that, but what's really bothering me is that I'm almost exploding, ever since my ability awakened I have this feeling in my heart, this need, as if I have to make something, but unfortunately I can't make anything on top of the ship so I can only wait..."
Thomas said while sighing.
His ability awakened late, it didn't happen fast like what happened with Katherine and Leonard, it happened more normally, and it also seemed that when he was in the abilities world his ability wasn't that strong at all, instead it was quite a weak one, as it took him around half a month just to start feeling the power moving inside his body, and after that with five days he finally awaken, but to make his ability stabilize and grow a little bit, Dan left him the soul weapon.
Actually Dan didn't really care when he found that Thomas's ability was weak, because no matter how weak it would be, they still had something that the people in area 02 didn't have, which was the combination between body tempering technique from the world of the dinosaurs, and the dragon blood from area 07.
That combination could make abilities grow faster, it was more effective than anything in area 02, it was what he was going to use to make people on his team stronger.
"Don't worry after we land, you will get a workshop for yourself, you just have to hold on for a little bit more." Dan said, then he added:
"You won't need the soul weapon anymore so I will take it from you now."
Thomas didn't say anything unnecessary, he nodded his head and moved the bow from his back giving it to Dan, he knew that there were many other people who needed to use its power in order to awaken their abilities and that he had actually kept it for quite a long time already.
They then talked a little bit together before Dan got up and left the room.
He moved through the ship while searching for Randy, he wanted to surprise him as he had really waited for a long time to get an ability.
As he got on the surface of the ship to see if Randy was there, as he had developed a habit of sun bathing whenever the sun was out, but he didn't find him there instead, he saw Anie and little Ru there.
Little Ru stopped disguising as a man ever since she got on top of Barbarossa, instead she started acting like a normal young girl... Except that she was more of a tomboy, she also stopped trying to hide her face and instead she stood there with Anie as the pretty young cheerful girl she was.
It also appeared that those two girls were quite close to each other, as they were spending more and more time together each day.
