World of dinosaurs part 4

World of dinosaurs part 4

Trying to locate Mikael's position, Tamao finds him, already standing, throwing several tree trunks at Julian as he heads towards her.

Mikael: Regroup! Let's retreat Tamao!

Tamao: Right! I think the others went there.

Julian: Do you want to run? Okay... Sooner or later, you'll come to me.

He launches a powerful fireball that goes towards the two, grazing them with the huge explosion that propels them away, throwing them to where the others are. They fall and roll on the ground for a good moment before stopping. When they get up, they watch Tokuko being thrown against an aviary, breaking the glass of the place. The Indominus Rex roars as the spines on its back glow red. In addition to increasing in size, its protofeathers elongate and also turn red. Red military spots form on its back, from the tip of its snout to the tip of its tail. A scarlet glow forms as she spits a powerful blast of fire to the point of completely destroying the aviary, releasing all the flying reptiles that flee in fear. The Indominus deactivates the form and turns to dust, disappearing into Vitalis who heads towards Julian.

[This exuberant transformation of the creature is possible and unlockable with a connection of 75% more affinity with the creature. The initial low affinity with a creature can be improved as time goes by, but some individuals like Julian, who achieves a high affinity with the creature right from the start, may be even luckier and unlock the creature's final form right away]

The flying reptiles fly aimlessly, arriving in a few minutes at the visitor center, where several people are. The recently used Vitalis, emanating from the abundance of people present there, is enough to grant abilities to the flying reptiles. They start to cut everything with their wings, people fall to the ground completely shredded, the birds spit golden laser beams, chaos forming.

[the ability to perform skills such as spitting a burst of Vitalis is not natural to the creature, when a human being faces a creature, the Vitalis used by him is a recently used model of Vitalis, which has different properties from the Vitalis present in the air, despite this, after being used, it remains in this state for a while, until it becomes usable Vitalis once again. The creatures, being irrational, cannot use the common Vitalis for anything other than staying alive, but the newly used Vitalis can be used instinctively by them to perform Vitalis attacks]

Mikael and Takuko's group watches the Pterosaurs head towards the populated center, their mouths open when they realize what would happen next.

Tamao: Damn... We have to act soon.

Tokuko: We parked our car over there, let's get it and go, come on! Come on!

They start running to the car, and when they get there, they waste no time driving to the location, arriving several minutes later. When they get there, they quickly get out, already starting to stop the flying creatures. Tokuko kicks one of the Pterosaurs that charged at her. The flying reptile is thrown to the side, and it tries to take flight, leaving the water. However, before it can complete its escape, the Mosasaurus comes out of the water and grabs it, taking it back to the sea to be digested. They spend the rest of the evening defeating the excess of aerial creatures. While all this is happening, Fuyukuchi completely dominates the entire park's control center.

Hirotomo: I'm leaving here, I don't care what you do with those pests, besides... {takes the vial of blood from his hands} thanks for this, I have to go look for someone, so, see you later, Fuyukuchi

Fuyukuchi: See you later! Don't worry, I'll take good care of this situation! {turns to the others} Alright, everyone! Now you're under my command! The plan? Very simple, let's save effort and make those four samurai completely tame their pets.

At the beginning of dusk, Mikael and Tokuko's group arrives at the Velociraptor base, Fuyukuchi approaches, with a confident smile, before receiving a right punch to the left cheek, staggering backwards.

Fuyukuchi: Hey! Are you PMSing?

Tokuko: You jerk, I already know what you're trying to do, just know that I will never force control over them, neither I nor my friends.

Fuyukuchi: {sarcastic laugh} This isn't about wanting, it's about doing, or do you want someone else to control them? Or rather, do you want more people in this park to die? Tomorrow, several ships will come to rescue these people, the owner of this park here, Hirotomo, left everything in my hands, I'm giving the orders here, and if you rebel, nothing changes, that guy and his dinosaur will keep killing, get out of here.

Tokuko: tsk {clenches his fists, frowning in pure rage} you bastard...

Fuyukuchi: Come on! Don't make that face at me, if you want, you can say goodbye to them now. Besides, your friend is already cured, she is where the Velociraptors are trapped.

They go to the indicated place, coming across the four Velociraptors trapped in steel boxes, with Mitsuki sitting with her head down near the boxes, she hears her friends approaching and gets up, running to embrace the three.

Tokuko: Mitsuki! You're okay! That's good!

Mimori: Good thing, we were starting to get worried

Kimiko: A lot

Mitsuki: Well... You must already know about that bastard's plans, so... What are we going to do?

Tokuko: I don't like to say this, but... {sighs while pulling her own hair back} We have no choice, we can't let our... Let them be used by other people, much less someone like him!

Mimori: I'm going to... Say goodbye to them.

Kimiko: I know they won't die, but having to kill them...

Riley: I'm invading your conversation, you don't need to kill them, in your vase, I think they must have so much affinity with you that they should accept being tamed without having to force it.

Mitsuki: {strong sigh of relief} Thank God, then... The bad thing would be just them losing their memory, right? That's still terrible.

Riley: huh! That's the only negative point in your case. Tokuko: It'll be worse if we keep getting sad, let's end this once and for all, for us... For them.

The four girls respectively approach their captors, raising their hands and starting to imbue their Vitalis into them, the girls' faces darken in sadness, while tears threaten to come out, eyes half-crystalline in the lower eyelids, while they contain their tears, however, Mikael interrupts the process.

Mikael: I know! Fuyukuchi! These creatures can still fight, even without being tamed, they are very obedient, we don't need that.

Fuyukuchi: Well... since you think this will work... If these Dinosaurs die, there are no wool tamers!... Wow! That's even more useful, isn't it, as if you revived them.

Following this plan, Mikael and his group follow in a large military truck, while the group of samurai get on motorcycles and start moving forward. Fuyukuchi activates the button and frees the Velociraptors. Who, in turn, start running towards the scent of the Indominus, since they received that piece of Indominus's flesh that she took from herself. That entire squadron follows through the dense night forest, with the Velociraptors leading the way, arriving in a short time, at the place where the Indominus emerges from the forests. The truck where Mikael and his group were was stopped well ahead on the path, positioning several missiles. As the Velociraptors stop walking just in front of the large carnivore, the dinosaurs begin to communicate, scaring Tokuko's group, who does nothing at first, observing the situation. However, their lack of action gave the raptors time to rebel and attack them and Mikael's group. As the Indominus roars and leaves the place, Mikael fires the Missile Launcher, trying to hit it, and succeeds. Soon after, he sees that it was ineffective, working only with the nearby trees. The dinosaur just fell to the ground, she soon got up and ran away from the place.

Mikael: You four! Go after that dinosaur, maybe you'll find it, avoid fighting! It'll be too strong for you! Buy time! I'll help the samurai, I'm sure they won't be able to harm your precious creatures.

The four of them follow the order and go after the dinosaur. As Mikael bursts in, the air between the four samurai and the four raptors, pushing the dinosaurs away with their chains.

Mikael: We can't kill them, you'll have to do it! I'll immobilize them, and you'll imbue your Vitalis!

He advances against the raptors, leaving Tokuko's group to decide what to do, they swallow hard, seeing that they don't have many options, they accept to do it. Mikael manages to stun the creatures and trap them.

Tokuko: Blue... I'm sorry... She caresses the raptor's forehead as she begins the process, the others do the same, starting to imbue their Vitalis into their captors, this time, the process is finished.

Kimiko: I feel bad... Mimori: I would say... I feel the same way.

Mitsuki: There was nothing I could do

Tokuko: Let's not dwell on this, we have to help people now!

Mikael: Great, now let's help the others! The ground shakes with a huge explosion happening nearby. They hurry to get there in time, but are thrown away, also by a huge explosion, generated by Julian, who throws them all the way to the visitor center. He advances towards Mikael, piercing his belly and knocking him out with a well-aimed critical to his chin, leaving him impaled on his katana.

Tokuko: What?

Julian: No time to be surprised, Tokuko

He punches her in the stomach hard enough to make her gasp for air, she puts her hands on her belly, as she falls to her knees. Julian moves away, when Kimiko and Mimori attack together, jumping between the buildings, trying to hit him in zigzag bursts. He dodges the attacks without any difficulty, finding a weak point in their joint attack, he kicks one of them in the nose, making her body be dragged along the ground, creating a straight crater with the rocks spreading to the sides. Julian cuts Kimiko's eyes, then throws her against a place of fire, starting to burn her skin, but she somersaults out, not caring about the burns. He growls as he manages to pierce Julian's hand, which leaves him surprised.

Julian: Wow…

He says looking at his own hand, Kimiko is surprised too, but soon she is knocked down by a pull from Julian's leg on her legs, making her fall backwards.e stops looking at his own hand and launches several fire shots at Kimiko, machine-gunning her without stopping, leaving her riddled and unconscious on the ground.

Julian: You all… You are pathetic.

He grabs Kimiko by the hair, lifting her up and smiling in mockery, but in an excess of fury, Tokuko manages to activate her elemental mark for the first time, she advances against Julian. Making a diagonal cut starting from the right shoulder to the end of the left spine, which makes him grunt in pain, he turns and kicks her face, making her be thrown backwards.

Julian: Well well, what do we have here? Evolutions, huh?!

She ignores what he says and advances with her katana, trying to cut Julian in half vertically. To her surprise, her sword is cut in half by Julian's flaming katana, who smiles at her reaction. He promptly grabs her head with both hands and lowers it, executing a stupid knee to the center of her face. Immediately after, her nose starts to bleed, while she manages to get up and kick his chest with both feet, pushing him away, he tears the ground with his fingers, while running for a new attack.

Tokuko: unique technique! RESONATNAUFRAGI!!!

She screams at the top of her lungs, while managing to distort the sound of her scream to transform it into a katana of sound, her own hands struggling to hold the weapon, she advances against Julian, who tries to defend the attack with his own katana.

Tokuko's thoughts: I may have screamed loudly, but if my theory is right, he's going to get screwed with this, I think. I discovered my unique technique a little while ago.

Tokuko's sound blade pierces through Julian's katana blade, but loses strength in the process and, when it reaches his own shoulder, it finds it difficult to penetrate. Destroying his internal organs, which makes him widen his eyes, as he desperately punches Tokuko's cheek, throwing her away.

[Tokuko's unique technique is related to sound manipulation, emitted only by her]

Julian: what pain!!!!

He screams, punching the ground, he smiles shortly after, starting to regenerate, he raises his hand towards Tokuko, the palm of his hand pointing towards her, she feels her body stiffen, losing control of it.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

Julian's thoughts: since what happened millions of years ago, all I've done is train and train to use this technique that I saw that guy do.

He controls Tokuko's body through mass manipulation, making her be thrown from one side to the other, just by moving his fingers. Then, he lets her float, while he begins to close his hand, trying to compress her body until she dies. However, he is scratched from behind and completely covered by the Velociraptors of the four. He grunted as he releases a wave of fire that repels the creatures, summoning his Indominus to attack the Velociraptors. The large carnivore crushes, bites and scratches the Velociraptors, defeating them one by one in seconds, roaring and reappearing in another location.

Previously…

The four girls follow the Indominus Rex into the forest, arriving in an area full of enclosures, the large carnivore camouflages itself once again.

Riley: Fuck you!!! She screams, the four lose sight of the Indominus, and then, too late, they look to where the large carnivore was, already in its final form, it launches a thunderous red laser beam that destroys everything around it, a small mushroom cloud forming. With that, the Indominus roars one last time, deactivating its form, before continuing to attack them, even though they are damaged.

Joana: You're going to have to distract it! I'll try... Find some way for us to be able to see it even with its camouflage!

Natalie: Don't worry! Tamao: Don't forget about me!

She jumps onto the back of the large carnivore, punching and jumping, kicking the back and face of the Indominus Rex, who focuses on getting her off his back. While Riley throws several golden energy balls at the Indominus, making the dinosaur's life more and more difficult, Tamao attacks from below, forcing it to attack and cut off the dinosaur's legs. The Indominus roars as it returns to its final form with the excess Vitalis recently used in the air, preventing Joana's plans, throwing another ray as powerful as before against the four, throwing their bodies separately to each side. Tamao is the first to get up from the rubble, she notices her friends completely knocked out and trapped, he grunted to free himself from the last rubble on top of him. Instantly, upon standing up, she comes face to face with the dinosaur, the carnivore's face a meter away, until the creature is unsummoned to be summoned once again somewhere else.

Julian: He must have found that guy, hey you guys! Wake up already! You can't have been that hurt, right?!

She approaches the three, trying to help them get them out of the rubble, but the Indominus reappears just before she can rescue her friends, the dinosaur whips her ribs with its tail, throwing her close to where Mikael is impaled, finally making him wake up.

Tamao: Hey! Wake up!

She screams, as she gets up almost without strength, to remove the blade from the ground, making Mikael fall to the side, she kneels in front of him, trying to help him. Tamao: You're well enough to stay alive, right? Mikael: If you asked me if I was okay, I would answer the obvious, no

Tamao: I saw that in the middle of the sentence this would be a kind of stupid question, enough of this! Come on, get up, you can do it

Mikael: Forcing me to fight in these conditions?

Tamao: We have people to save, and I'm here, TOGETHER we will do it, I know we will

She takes Mikael's hand and places it on her chest, and then Julian appears behind her, pulling her by the hair and throwing her against a concrete wall, her body destroys and goes through the wall.

Julian: So much love... It's degrading to see, now... You have to keep impaling yourself, I'm almost finishing those four.

He slaps Mikael in the face, then pierces his chest repeatedly, to kick him back, his body falls to the ground. Julian raises his katana to execute the final blows on him, however, he receives a thunderbolt in his back. Tokuko was lying on the ground, completely injured, he had his arm raised towards him, to launch the attack, when executing the thunder strike on his back, her hand falls. He smiles as he leaves Mikael aside and goes against her. Meanwhile, Tamao crawls across the ground towards Mikael, holding his hand.

Tamao: Joana taught me how to do this, I learned it recently, so it may not work completely, but… I will entrust our strength… To you, dear.

She begins to use Vitalis to force a more efficient reuse of Mikael's own body, thus, his wounds disappear in an immediate regeneration, however, he comes back stronger than ever, with an increase in the power of Tamao herself, who is now unconscious. He places her in a safe place, while preparing for the final fight. Julian increases the fire of his katana, aiming right at Takuko's neck, about to cut it, but before he can, a blade with saws pierces his stomach from behind. He spits blood on the ground, while the blade is pulled back by chains, he begins to be dragged in an oval direction. Crashing against the bases of the surrounding buildings, the blade comes out of his stomach, making him spit more blood. He promptly gets up, wiping the blood from his lips with the back of his hand as he regenerates. Mikael pulls his blade back into his hand, he looks at Julian with a serious expression.

Julian: What is it? Have you finally decided to take this seriously? Look... That's a lot of courage on your part, letting so many people almost die before using everything you have.

Mikael: Shut up, I'm going to finish you off and then go back to my wife.

Julian: It's really too much love {laughs sarcastically} She didn't even die, I lost my entire family all at once... Twice, you didn't suffer at all, I guarantee.

He brings his katana back to his, and then, without ceremony, advances on Mikael, executing a horizontal slash, which in turn, his opponent defends with his own blade. Julian kicks his right leg at his face. However, Mikael grabs his hair and headbutts him, making him fall backwards on the ground. He quickly rolls on the ground to dodge a right punch from Mikael. He uses his serrated blade against Julian's neck, who dodges and executes a critical cross to Mikael's face, making him stagger back, in addition to dropping his own blade. Julian takes advantage of this and kicks his heel, making him fall for good. Mikael tries to get up, but Julian grabs his legs and starts spinning him to finish, throwing him against a nearby building. His body goes through the front and back walls of the building. He quickly gets up, punching the ground and generating several rocks that come out of the ground and try to hit Julian. Cutting all the attacks with his flaming katana. Mikael lands both feet on the wall, executing the Dinosaurum seal towards the wall. His Vitalis gathers and forms the tyrannosaurus that forms inside the building, which headbutts another wall, right behind Julian. Making him get hit and thrown away along with the rubble.

Julian: damn… {pats himself} this time, you really surprised me {light laugh} but I can get rid of this easily.

He summons his Indominus Rex, the two large carnivores roar at each other, looking at each other as they begin to circle each other.

Mikael's thoughts: more than fifteen years... That was enough for my affinity with her... To be enough for this.

He strengthens his Vitalis imbued in his dinosaur, activating his Rexy's final form. Several sharp spines spread from the back of her neck to the tip of her tail, a sequence of scratch-like stripes forming along with it. These new and beautiful features are enhanced by a golden coloration, the brown of her natural skin becomes darker. The Indominus Rex activates its final form together.

Julian: nothing more... Want to see?

He orders his dinosaur to begin the attack, Mikael executes the same command, the large carnivores advance towards each other, Rexu bites the back of the Indominus' neck, shaking to penetrate her teeth deeper into her flesh. However, she pushes her away, making her let go. She scratches Rexy's face with her right hand, then with her left hand, then bites her snout and moves her a little, until she falls against a wall of one of the nearby buildings. Rexy gets up and whips Indominus' face with her tail, preventing her from continuing with any further attacks. The two look at each other and spit a laser beam at each other. The golden and red light meet, fighting for dominance, until Indominus's overlaps and hits Rexy's face, making her fall to the ground again.

Julian: What did I say?

He smiles as he receives a critical kick to his stomach, making him momentarily lose his breath. Mikael moves his foot to kick Julian's chin, sending him flying upwards, spinning a little to fall on his stomach. The Indominus bites Rexy's neck and drags her face across the floor, making her crash against several walls and buildings, before dropping her on the ground, deactivating her form. Mikael punches Julian's face non-stop with his fist, holding his neck with his left arm, who in turn laughs like a madman, ignoring the damage, scaring Mikael who stops the attack. With that, Julian explodes everything around him, knocking Mikael off of him. Julian swings his katana, drawing a figure eight symbol in the sky. The fire drawing spreads towards Mikael, but unlike last time, he raises his blade and completely withstands the attack head on. Dispersing the energy by moving his blade to the side, Julian smiles and then claps his hands, putting his blade aside. Julian: Wow! You really are stronger, huh! Unlike the other one over there, who didn't learn anything from her last encounter with me. He snaps his fingers and picks up his katana from the ground, advancing on Mikael again. Mikael grabs Julian's head with his right hand, trying to bury it in the ground, but Julian performs an uppercut on him and then ducks, punching Mikael in the face with a right punch. When his hand is behind his head, he turns his arm back, to hit him with an elbow right at the back of the head. Before Mikael can fall completely to the ground, he places the crook of his arm under his chin and in front of his neck. With that, he brings his head forward, laying him face up on the ground with a brutal impact. Julian steps on Mikael's face three times with his left leg, then he stabs his katana into his chest, he stands over Mikael and starts cutting and stabbing him repeatedly.

Julian: With each cut, the chance of you being critically hit increases more and more! Look! You're going to die!

He stops attacking, noticing a blue glow that suddenly appeared, covering his face, and then a sound of a storm approaching quickly, without him being able to make any movement, he is hit by a critical knee to the chin, he is thrown violently back by the impact.

Tokuko: Mikael! Get up! We can still win! Remember your woman!

Mikael: You didn't have to... Say it.

He stands up, pulling his blade back into his hand, the two advance towards Julian together, Tokuko throws several stakes from the sky in the shape of thunder, Mikael moves his chains to hit multiple times, but Julian remains unchanged, then raises his head and looks directly at the two.

Julian: unique technique… cudendumfornace

[The function used by Julian, of his unique technique at the moment, is the following: he uses Vitalis to increase the kinetic energy of the particles around him, causing them to vibrate and collide at very high speeds. This interaction creates a reaction similar to nuclear fission, destabilizing the atoms of materials that enter the barrier. Objects that enter the barrier have their atomic structures undone, being “pulverized” into smaller particles (atoms or even subatomic particles). The barrier does not make objects disappear, but rather disperses their atoms, transforming solid structures (like a knife) into a cloud of particles or “dust” in the air. The energy released by the disintegration is automatically converted into mechanical energy, strengthening him, increasing his physical strength or speed, and replenishing his Vitalis reserve to continue sustaining the barrier]

He laughs maniacally, Mikael's blade that was about to hit him gradually distorts and shatters as it gets closer to Julian, which surprises him, Tokuko's lightning bolts disintegrate in the air.

Julian: My unique technique consumes a lot of my energy, so I won't use everything I have on you.

He smiles and advances, Tokuko goes behind him, kicking his back, Mikael punches his abdomen, and then grabs his chains and wraps them around Julian's neck, suffocating him. He pulls the chains back, making him fall, throwing his body against several walls, while Tokuko follows his body, slashing with her katana and throwing lightning bolts at him. Julian holds the chains and manages to stop himself from being spun around. When he plants his feet on the ground, he punches Tokuko's face, hard enough to pin her face to the ground. He pulls the chains attached to his neck, pulling Mikael towards him, he holds the blade of his katana to his chest, who in turn, does not let himself fall, kicking Julian's face to push him away. Tokuko, who had gotten up by this point, kicks his heels, making him fall, but before he can fall completely, Mikael grabs his leg and throws him away. Julian's body falls near a lake. He quickly stands up, as he watches his Indominus disappear, defeated by Rexy and Blue, he smiles sarcastically.

Julian: My unique technique… I won't use it, but there's something else that will take care of you guys really quickly.

The ground shakes, Julian notices this and looks at the ground, then back, at the mosasaur coming out of the sea to devour him. He laughs in disdain, as he moves his flaming katana, cutting off the sea reptile's head, killing it without any problems.

Julian: Back to where we were…

He activates his elemental mark, he creates a clone of himself made of fire, which advances against the two, distracting them while he prepares a fireball between the palms of his hands, concentrating his Vitalis densely, to launch against the two. They raise their arms to support together with a barrier of Vitalis, succeeding successfully, they sigh in relief, but Mikael has his chest pierced, a critical thrust by Julian that hits his soul, he throws a fireball at Tokuko. Who in turn is thrown back, her previously defeated friends finally arrive at the scene to go to her, leaving there with a teleportation artifact. Mikael goes backwards, his back hits the ground hard, he spits out some blood that runs down his cheek until it accumulates on the ground. His body begins to fall apart, cracks forming on his body.

Julian: It's over for you...

Mikael's group arrives at the scene, with Mikael disappearing into fragments, his eyes widen in shock and fear, and then remain wide open when they see Julian, who turns to them and also shudders. His eyes widen together, his heartbeat increases, he drops his katana, while he loses strength in his knees. His mouth opens slightly in disbelief, while his eyes begin to become crystal clear, while tears threaten to fall, he reaches out to touch and hug those he sees in front of him.

Natalie: Julian... what have you done? Julian: What?

Reality returns to his mind, he looks at everything around him, the destruction, the chaos, and the remains of Mikael disappearing, he begins to rethink everything he did, putting his hands on his head as he begins to go crazy. Joana runs to him, hugging him, which surprises him, turning his face to her, he hugs her back, the two are silent for a moment, then, Joana starts to cry and scream, Julian closes his eyes with great force, equal to the force in his hug.

Joana: I thought you were dead!

Riley: I don't know what to do now, he was technically our enemy, right?

Natalie: Yes... And he still might be, but... I want to believe that he isn't.

Riley: I see, but... Look, he's not attacking Joana {looks at Natalie}

Natalie: {contains emotion}

Riley: I see... So... Let's {hold Natalie's hand} go meet an old friend.

They come closer and join in the hug, all hugging Julian at the same time, breaking down in tears.

66 million years ago...

The meteors reach the planet's atmosphere, about to devastate everything, but Olivia raises her katana and starts cutting everything, protecting herself and Julian, who was close to her, but she soon realizes that she won't save him that way. She grabs Julian, who has now given up on everything, she activates her elemental mark while screaming and throws Julian up in the air with all her strength, making him leave the planet's atmosphere. Later, Nikolas arrives at the scene, grabbing her by the wrist.

Nikolas: We don't have time! Tell me, where is everyone?!

Nikolas' words send shivers down her spine and she judges herself, for forgetting that Nikolas could get Julian out of there alive. She guides Nikolas around the planet, and with that, they manage to teleport Natalie and Joana with them. They don't have time to save the others, because they can't find them and the meteors are already devastating everything and increasing in number.

Before the events at the beginning of this arc...

Olivia: I found important information, unfortunately we will have to separate, but it will be for a good cause, we will be able to find our old friends.

Nikolas: I see, who would this information you have be related to?

Olivia: about the Ignis clan, which would result in us being able to find Margaret, Sayako and possibly Morgan.

Nikolas: Three at once? That's great, I had forgotten that each member of the Ignis Clan has a teleportation device to their bases.

Olivia: So far, no problem, we could go to one of their headquarters and ask about them, but... Their headquarters, as you can imagine, being an important clan, are not easily found, the access to them is secret.

Nikolas: Rivalry between Clans... How inopportune...

Olivia: Even so, some headquarters were destroyed, weaker members died and, with that, the clan became weak and ended up giving in, just like the other clans.

Nikolas: But weren't all the Clans dismantled by Nozomi?

Olivia: More or less, the Clans were already falling apart, but Nozomi's arrival dismantled everything, it's sad to know that Leonard works for her and doesn't seem to want to give in.

Nikolas: I see... He must be in love, right?

Olivia: That must be the only answer {shrugs}

Nikolas: Anyway, my work as a lawyer has borne fruit. A place that claims to bring dinosaurs back needs people to check on its safety. I was called in for this case, and I'll recommend Natalie and Joana. They're well-known now.

Olivia: We had sent them to get Riley, but apparently, Joana must have gotten distracted and taken Natalie along on her adventures. At least they're okay, even though we've lost contact and they're always traveling around. It's not easy to find them.

Nikolas: I know. Anyway, I'll be on my way to let them know you're okay. And besides, you'll be out of here. I'll be back after this little mission.

He gets into a Cruise and starts flying, starting to leave the planet's atmosphere. Meanwhile, Olivia goes to the Cruise herself to go on her own mission. However, before she could get close, Metal Hirotome landed in front of her, between her and Cruise. He raised his hand and fired an exorbitant amount of laser shots at her, forming a cloud of smoke. To avoid conflict, Olivia grabbed her clothes and tore them off, leaving them where she was, along with her katana. She camouflaged her Vitalis while hiding, taking advantage of the cloud of dust.

Olivia's thoughts: better to avoid confrontation, this is the same being I saw flying in the sky that time, I don't know how strong he can be.

The metallic being analyzed the clothes on the ground, then left the place, flying away. Olivia waited for a good moment before leaving, she made new clothes with her Vitalis and got on her Cruise, leaving the planet.

Olivia's thoughts: I have to get out of here, and fast, I don't know if that metallic being can come back.

At the same time, Nikolas realizes that he forgot to load the fuel for his ship. He returns to the planet, loading and exiting the ship to find things briefly destroyed. He runs around the place, trying to find Olivia, but stops in front of the rags of Olivia's clothes.

Nikolas: Damn... What happened here? An attack?!

Nikolas' thoughts: Right now? Who would want to kill us? I better not tell Joana and Natalie this, I'll just say... That Olivia is on a mission, better yet, I don't want to make them sad, think how awful it would be to go to them and tell them that Olivia died, it would ruin the mood.

He notices that Olivia's ship is no longer there, imagining that the ship was destroyed with his friend, reloading his ship and flying away.

Returning to the present time...

Tamao arrives at the place shortly after, watching the last shard of her husband disappear into thin air, while her friends hug their enemy. She is in disbelief and confused.

Tamao: What's going on? {he says, sobbing, on the verge of crying}

She stands, crouches down and falls to her knees in the last place where she saw Mikael's last shard, looking at the ground in disbelief, and then turns her gaze to the three of them. Joana stands up and stands between her and Julian.

Joana: We're sorry... He's... An old friend of ours, who we thought had died, he just... He was isolated on a planet for all those millions of years, with no one with him, completely alone and imagining that we, his second family, had died. Can you understand?

Tamao: What are you doing? Trying to convince me to forgive him?

Joana: No! I know you might be frustrated, but understand, he was crazy, blinded by the despair of having lost everything he had. When he was a child, his parents died all at once, and in the accident 66 million years ago, we almost died, he thought we had died too.

Joana's thoughts: I don't know if it was madness that made him do all this, but I think it's the only palpable reason that would lead him to be so... Reckless.

Tamao: This guy… He killed my husband, and if you guys are really going to side with him, then there’s nothing I can do. I know you’re good people, we spent a lot of time together, but I’m telling you… I can’t fight alongside someone who killed my beloved, I’m leaving here anyway.

She turns and starts walking out, her expression apathetic, showing no feelings at first, as she lowers her head and remembers everything she went through with those people. She clenches her fist, ready to punch the metal wall next to her, but she kicks the wall and walks away with it. Julian feels the weight on his conscience start to sink in, he hugs his knees to his chest.

Julian: I’m sorry…

He says to the air, as if he were talking to Tamao, even though he knew she wouldn’t hear. Joana puts her hand on his shoulder, trying to comfort him, while the others think a little about what to do next.

Natalie: Let’s… Get out of here, we have a lot to talk about.

Riley: as the others say, catching up.

Joana: {holds out her hand} Come on! We all miss you so much!

Julian: I don't know if I deserve all this, but... Thank you {holds her hand} I'll try to fix my mistakes, that someday... I'll get her forgiveness.

Twenty-five years later...

On Earth, several ships the size of small cruisers appear in the sky, and soon, a colossal ship the size of a village hovers between the several ships. In moments, all the ships begin a bombardment of the city, destroying and devastating everything in moments.

Yataro: Munetoshi, some sources of strong Vitalis have been located coming our way.

Munetoshi: You can take care of this yourself, I know you can.

Yataro: obviously

He leaves the ship, jumping to land on the terrace of a building, where Julian and his group land shortly after. They look at each other and then Julian pulls his katana out of its sheath.

Julian: You can probably guess what we're here for.

Yataro: Yes, you came to stop this attack, huh?

Julian: Exactly!

They charge at each other, screaming as they activate their elemental marks before their weapons collide.
