The sky in the evening is a yellowish blue. Once in a while, the wind dies away, just to get ready to resume its soothing breeze. It is now a year later, to be exact, on the Summer Month. The Sierra Pathogen problem has been totally resolved, and the Anti-Pathogen has been available as well. As the result, everyone participating in the fight against the epidemic can now take a rest. Enjoying the warmth of the first phase of the Summer Month in this year.
Stairmount and his colleagues also do the same. However, unlike the Saturn Health Team, who can now focus their attention on something new, they are instead unable to rest. They have returned to Jupiter - that is, to Emerald, the place they are dwelling in this moment. To do something very serious and important.
The news they have just heard, are evidently leading them to a new duty.
"Our main goal is to destroy - or at the very least, reduce the power of - the Secret Organization of Shadow Government, that has been disrupting the lives of humans on this Planet."
Daphne lets out a gasp. She gives a closer look to Payneth who has given this information just now.
"So, this is your main goal in this guerrilla war, and the reason why you carry out so many strategic actions?..."
Daphne soon remembers with what Damien once said during the community at Emerald last year. When Damien asked whether or not "That Movement" would be carried out. At that time she was terrified of it, she was afraid that she might be dragged into the movement, hence she decided not to ask whatever the case even though she was actually curious with it.
In the end, her curiosity gets the answer. The full answer of it, without she needs to even search for it.
Stairmount, Daphne, Lucas, Gasoline, Kurtz, and Keith aren't the only ones who gather there. The Enigma team is also with them. As well as, the Hydro's Mintsand Marine. That's why they can maintain to be calm despite their location right now is too close to the main base of their enemies. The Saturn government declared that it was entirely due to the Saturn scientists that Sierra Pathogen did not spread on Saturn, they help concealing Stairmount's and other team members' involvement. And, specifically for Stairmount, is proclaimed dead by Neptune officials. That is why Chrono is still unable to locate them.
However, nobody can guarantee, what will happen with their 'currently-safe status'.
"I let you all get dragged into danger," Stairmount mutters uneasily to his colleague.
Lucas taps Stairmount on the shoulder. "Say no more, Dude. It is you who make us realize that we had been duped all along by the Shadow Government's massive propaganda campaign. Even my relatives support what I am doing right now."
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Kurtz chimes in, "We are actually fed up because, instead of offering a solution, they are sowing the seeds of hatred through discrimination and even war provocation. We're all victims of pitting one another against one another. Now is the time to break free from this vicious spiral. With this battle."
"But then, you have to flee to The Asteroids?"
Of course, it is impossible for the Enigma Team to keep them under constant protection. They can protect them for one week is long enough for them after all, besides, there hasn't been any attack or even the tiniest indication that the opponent is aware of it. So they may still do anything without fear. And also, to prepare them to leave their own nation.
"We're not just fleeing. We're assembling our armies. And achieving our noble goal," Gasoline nods solemnly.

The evening breeze is blowing once more. The solemn expressions fill their faces.
"We will become history," Stairmount said slowly. "Our struggle will be a moment to be remembered for all time, whether we succeed or not."
Those solemn faces now nod in firm manner.
"You will not fight alone," Payneth chimes in. "We from Neptune are ready to accompany your movements. We are also one of the most hated by the Shadow Government. We will fight alongside you."
"The whole world is fighting with us. Especially those who have pure and sincere hearts, but are always oppressed by greed that leads to cruelty," Lawrence adds.
Stairmount instinctively reaches for his phone. The message from Minister of Health Saturn is still fresh on his thoughts.
"We can't provide distinct assistant, but we can help you without no one knows. So, keep in your mind; Please let us know whenever you require assistance with your cause. We will do our best to fulfill it."
Stairmount smiles, very broadly. Tens of emotions fills his entire chest, a huge sense of gratitude for Saturn's kindness and support for all of them. He thus squeezes the cell phone tightly in his pants pocket. Then, he looks heavenward. Looking up at the endlessly vast afternoon sky connecting all universality on this planet.
No matter what happens. He has to be ready, for this new round of struggle.
After keeping his promise with Daphne. That is, getting married to Daphne.
He should be thankful that not only Heaven helps him to stay alive, but also supports him to fulfill his promise; to go down the aisle with Daphne. For information, Daphne and her mother are also given a peaceful life on Neptune, as the Neptune government (with the help of the Enigma Team's intercession) immediately grants Daphne Neptune citizenship; after all, their passports have been lost on Pluto they then were forced to flee with fake passports. However, Daphne is immediately determined to follow Stairmount. They only tell Mrs. Yalle that Stairmount gets a job transfer and has to go to The Asteroids, that's why the middle-aged woman don't worry with her daughter. Yet, Daphne knows exactly what Stairmount, her future husband, would be doing.
So, how can he be selfish? How can he not be ready for it, and instead run away to just get happy? How can he do it?
Stairmount turns to Lawrence. "When will we leave for The Asteroids?"
