Celebrating Relief And Confrontation With The Concequences
James seems to need a moment to get all of his anger out on the system, As James soared through the air, his colorful language punctuating the wind like bursts of fiery confetti, back at Jay's house, a wave of relief washed over the group.
They hugged and clapped each other's backs, beaming with joy.
The news that Jarvis had shared was like a small beacon of hope in a dark night; James was safe and was heading back to the house uninjured.
The room was filled with an infectious energy, the kind that radiates from people who have been relieved if there worries and are filled with joy For a few moments, they forgot about the dangers if the monsters and the posibilitlity of loosing James and the consequences of summoning the military.
They laughed and celebrated as if they had just won the lottery, Claire was even crying tears of Joy as she felt a huge stone of worry get lifted of her chest.
But not everybody in this world was happy at James survival.
Colonel Banks' phone rang, and his expression turned serious. He sat on the chair and answered the call, listening intently to the voice on the other end.
It was none other than the President of USA, and he wanted answers.
Banks was to report to a meeting with some of the most powerful men in the country: three four-star generals that would judge The fate of Banks and Lieutenant Colonel North, They were the highest rank in the military.
Banks knew that this was a time for action.
The fate of both Colonel Banks and Liutenent Colonel North hung by a precarious thread, one that could snap at any moment. The generals of the Military had been alerted to the situation and were now on the move.
Colonel Banks was on a mission given to him by his real superior and he wasn't about to let anyone or anything stand in his way and for sure not a mere soldier's mess up stand in his way.
He had meticulously prepared to present the video of James to the generals. He had high hopes that the evidence would be enough to sway their decision.
Colonel Banks was a shrewd man who knew how to play the game.
He had afterall lived through so many years, he was, no doubt prepared to ruthlessly sacrifice Liutenent Colonel Norths Future to secure his mission.

Meanwhile, the frog had made its way to a modern white mansion.
As it hid in the grass, it peered through a window and saw a group of people celebrating something.
The frog had a decent idea as to what they were celebrating and it let out a cackle.
They ranged in age from young children to elderly adults, but they all seemed to be in high spirits.
The frog's eerie smile widened as it watched the revelers from its hiding spot. It seemed to be planning something truly treacherous.
Whatever its plan, the frog was clearly relishing the thought of causing mischief and mayhem. It was truly a chilling sight.
Now, It seems to me that James has calmed down so it's time I say goodbye, everybody, it's been fun.
(James Pov)
The voice of Jarvis, resounded in my ears, snapping me back to reality.
"Sir, we are approaching your grandparents' house. They have been notified of your safety just a few moments ago," Jarvis said, his tone professional as always.
P2 - "Okay" I nodded to myself as I saw Grandpa Jay's house come in sight in the far distance through the Armours enhanced and vision a sense of comfort washed over me.
Though my mind had been preoccupied with the mystery surrounding my birth and the enigma of the Totenkbrau, seeing my grandpa's house filled me with a sense of ease after all of these events that happened.
The Totenkbrau continued to occupy my mind however, an ever-present reminder of the many unanswered questions that swirled within me.
My birth, the mysterious system, and even the Third Totenkbrau itself were all puzzles that remained unsolved, shrouded in a fog of mystery, leaving me feeling more lost than ever.
Despite my best efforts, it seemed that accessing the answers to these questions was an impossible task.
The house kept getting closer and closer until I landed on the backyard of Grandpa Jay's house.
As I landed in my grandpa's backyard, I felt a se se of complete relief, Though I was grateful to have arrived safely, my heart ached at the thought that my family may have been worried about me.
"Sir, may I inform them of your arrival or would you like to inform them yourself?" "I'll meet them myself Jarvis" "Alright sir"
I thanked Jarvis for his offer, I knew that I had to face my family on my own.
Walking towards the backdoor, I steeled myself for what was to come.
They had learned a lot of new things about me such as my fight with the Wendigo, Jarvis's abilities and they now knew about my armours abilities so I was filled with a mix of anticipation and apprehension to see what was to come.
My footsteps were slow and measured as I made my way towards the backdoor. The crunch of sand underfoot was a stark reminder of the Storm.
My mind wandered back to the frog and the powerful sandstorm it had created.
Lost in thought, I was caught off guard when the sand in front of me started swirling.
Panic set in as i found this to be a familiar situation.
The sand in front of me swirled and mixed, gradually taking on the shape of the frog. I felt my heart racing as I stepped back, activating all of my lasers and reaching for another EmBomb.
The creature had already proven to be incredibly powerful and dangerous, and I wasn't about to take any chances playing around with just lasers alone.
The frog stared at me with its beady eyes and twisted grin, its form now fully solidified in front of me.
"Since you have rejected my offer James, why don't I offer you a counter offer?" it sneered, its voice full of malice and contempt.
