June 3rd 1990
The sun was at its highest point and a young lady named Sofia was running around a manor trying to search for someone. She ran into a wheat field and found a 5-year old boy named Taro reading a book behind a tall rock.
A sense of relief rushed over her, she leaned against the rock and asked him what he was reading.
"A history book I found in the library." Taro answered.
Sofia realized that Taro was sitting in the dirt and scolded him for ruining his clothes. “Your father will get mad if you ruin such nice clothes.” She lifted Taro up and tried to wipe the dirt off his pants. “Your father wants you back at the house, he has guests over.”
"I didn't get to read enough." Taro complained.
Sofia told him that he could continue reading later, but should now go back to the house to not upset his father.
Taro complied and followed her through the wheat field and into the mansion where Taro’s father Sarim was talking with a couple wearing dirty clothes. He hid behind Sofia, but saw a girl around his age sleeping on a bench by herself.
Sarim saw Taro and Sofia and immediately introduced Taro to the couple. “This is my son Taro.”
They didn’t even look at Taro.
Sarim woke the girl up and introduced Taro to her. “This is my son Taro. Taro meet Monika, she will live with us from now on.”
Taro stayed quiet and looked into her eyes, but Monika grabbed his shoulders and started shaking him. “Is he a statue?" She yelled and then grabbed Taro’s wrist and ran up the first flight of stairs.
Sarim told Sofia to go after them and then returned to the couple. “Let's go into my office and get you your money.”
Sarim led the way into a vintage styled office where two large guys were waiting. The moment Sarim closed the door the two men took out plastic bags and put them over the heads of both the man and the woman while strangling them.
Sarim watched as after just a minute they stopped breathing and the men dragged them into an elevator that was in the office, which they took to the first floor.
They stepped out of the elevator into a well lit white hallway with doors on both sides.
Dragging the bodies behind them they ended up in a room with a cremation furnace. Both the bodies were tossed in it at the same time and while the bodies were burning the men chatted. After the bodies had turned to just bones and dust they put the bones into a crusher turning them into dust as well and at the end all of it was flushed down the drain.
Meanwhile Monika was running around the mansion still dragging Taro by his hand until he fell over. Sofia saw him and ran to help the crying Taro sit up.
Monika felt so bad that she got on her knees and hugged Taro while crying. Taro got surprised and stopped crying, but hugged her back.
Four years passed, Taro and Monika would mostly be kept in the house, but occasionally some of the servants would take them out to town while they ran errands. One day Taro woke up without Monika sleeping with her, he thought they were playing hide and seek so he ran through the entire mansion looking for him, but couldn’t find her anywhere, this continued for several days until he finally asked one of the servants where Monika was, every single one of them acted like they’d never heard of her.
Everyday he would look for her, but almost never found her until nine months later when he heard faint screaming in the lobby. When he went to see what the screaming was he found nothing, but then heard it again from below. He laid on the floor to hear better and soon heard clear as day Monika screaming.
Taro started hitting the floor, which at first had no effect, but as he kept hearing Monika screaming and got more desperate, that’s when his hand went right through the floor and he fell into the hallway below.
The screaming was now much clearer and he ran into a room where it was coming from. In the room were dozens of men along with Sarim around a table where Monika was naked, bloody and screaming.
One of them noticed Taro by the door and told Sarim. He didn’t even look at Taro, but ordered the man to get rid of him. He started walking to Taro and just as he was about to grab him everyone in the room except Monika turned into a mist.
Taro had his eyes closed as he was screaming, but soon realized that Monika wasn’t screaming anymore. He opened his eyes and saw that there was nobody in there anymore. He walked closer and saw a baby between Monika’s legs. The baby was completely silent, but so was Monika. Taro thought that Monika was dead as she looked like any of the dead animals they had found outside. As he started crying the blood in the room started bouncing around violently destroying everything except Taro himself, Monika, the table she was on and the baby that Taro was now holding.
3 hours later there were multiple police cars and a small group of cops waiting outside. They first heard it, but then saw a helicopter land in the wheat field.
Out of it stepped Vb Ganz, He walked to the cops, greeted them and asked how many police had died.
They told Vb that none of them had even tried going into the room as the servants warned that a few had already tried and got killed immediately.
“Wise.” Vb commended. “Show me the way.”
They walked into the lobby where a ladder had been placed to get down into the hallway. Blood could be seen from the other end of the hallway, as it had splashed onto the walls and even left slashing marks on it. Vb carefully walked closer, he started hearing rustling when he came to the door., but didn’t walk right in. He tested whether walking in front of the doorway was even safe with his hand and when he had confirmed that it was he peeked inside and saw Taro sitting in front of the table holding a baby.
Vb took out a coin from his pocket and threw it into the room where it got vaporized immediately. He nervously chuckled and after taking a deep breath, he walked hands first into the room.

The blood flying around just barely grazed him, but he immediately jumped back.
He took an even deeper breath and slowly walked towards Taro. As the blood was splattering onto his rock hard skin he finally touched Taro, the moment he did his skin turned soft and he got a few cuts from the blood before it splashed every like water.
Vb sighed in relief and walked out the room to call in the police officers that had stayed back. He then walked back into the room and realized that all 3 of them were still alive. The police called an ambulance which took Taro, Monika and the baby to the nearest hospital.
Before it arrived Vb took a peek into Sarim’s office.
Much later Taro woke up laying on a couch, he saw Vb sitting by the door with a baby in his hands and immediately jumped up trying to attack him. He was powerless to do so and immediately fell over.
“The girl is still alive.” Vb told him and saw that it calmed Taro down. “Can you tell me what happened in that room?”

Taro kept trying to get back up.
“Please stay down, you’ll break your body.” Vb cautioned. “I’m not trying to do anything bad to you, I just want to know what you did to your father.”
Taro stopped trying and just laid on his back. “I didn’t do anything to my father.”
Vb was slightly puzzled. “Then what did you do?” He asked.
Taro seemed really confused, he just couldn’t remember what had happened, he told Vb everything that happened until he saw Monika on the table.
Vb got up and helped Taro sit back on the couch. He gave the baby to Taro, left the room and made a call.
He soon heard a girl’s voice. “Yeah?”
“Have you ever heard of Sarim Petrevska?” Vb asked.
“No.” She answered.
“Can you go ask your parents whether they have?” Vb requested.
He could hear the phone being put down and some distant noises through it. A bit later he heard someone coming back, but it was an older man’s voice now. “What do you want to know about Sarim Petrevska?”
Vb was surprised to hear someone else. “Oh, I was just at his mansion and his research was quite intriguing, so I was curious whether you, Tote or Eaco had heard of him.”
“Yeah I’ve heard of him, He’s one of the largest donors to The Global Authority. Why were you going through his research?” The man asked.
“His son killed him.” Vb answered. “Also did you ever bother to find out what he did for money?”
“He’s a business owner.” The man answered.
“Yeah, well he ran a mob.” Vb chuckled. “Maybe you shouldn’t be in charge of the company.”
Vb started laughing when he heard the call end. Soon he got a call from the same number.
“Eaco?” Vb asked while still chuckling.
“Yup.” The same girl from earlier had called him. “What did you say to him?”
“If Vile said the truth then one of our biggest donors was a criminal.” Vb answered.
“That couldn’t have gotten to him.” Eaco doubted.
“I might have offended him, but that's not the point.” Vb stated. “I just didn’t want to tell your dad about the research.”
Eaco laid down on the ground with the phone in her ear. “Okay, tell me.”
“This Petrevska fellow was researching the power that some people like us have and his son is a blood relative to the first person who had it.” He explained.
“He himself isn’t?” Eaco asked.
“No, the boy’s mother was one as well. The real kick is that he adopted a girl 5 years ago, who also had the power and she just had a child with Petrevska’s son.” Vb told.
“Wow.” Eaco was speechless and it took her a while to come up with something to say. “What do you want to do to them? I’d say Petrevska goes to jail, I can’t say anything about the involvement of his children.”
“No, I’ll adopt all three of them, they’re still children and I also feel that I can steer them into the right direction considering the potential they have.” Vb assured.
“Hold on.” Eaco had already thought of so many things to ask. “First, How old are they?”
“Well, I couldn’t find any official papers, just a few statements that said that the boy had just turned ten and the girl was about ten and half.” Vb answered.
Eaco was silent from disgust, but Vb could tell her discomfort. “Better not think about it.”
“What about either of their parents?” Eaco asked.
“Well both the boy’s parents were killed by him when he found out what they did to the girl. She is the tricky one because I didn’t find any adoption papers.” Vb answered.
“Legality aside, can you even take care of 3 children?” Eaco asked.
“I’ve been an adult since 15 just trust me on this, it’ll work out.” Vb assured. “The main reason I called was to tell you about the power, Petrevska had done a pretty detailed research on it. Everybody is able to learn and use it, but some people are just naturally better at it. I think you and those 3 children fall in that category, but to me the most important detail is how it’s inherited. If one or both parents have that… gene then the first child will always have it as well, but the children after that only have a 50% chance and that 50% chance carries on to grandchildren.” He paused his monologue to take a breath.” What I experienced today is nothing short of a miracle, but it got me thinking that maybe a similar miracle happened to Luna.”
Luna was a trigger word for Eaco, she went into shock the moment she heard Vb say it and immediately ended the call.
Vb couldn’t tell for sure, but he had an idea of how Eaco was feeling and thought it was better to not call her again.
He went back to see how the children were doing. Monika was still asleep and Taro had also fallen asleep with the baby still in his hands. Vb didn’t ask the hospital staff for any permissions as he took all three of them into the helicopter. Vb strapped Monika and Taro in the back and gave them headphones while he held the baby in his own hands while flying.
Few hours later Taro woke up again, this time he was in a regular bedroom sleeping beside Monika. He was shocked by his surroundings and then realized that the baby wasn’t in his hands or even in the room and immediately ran out. Vb got a bit startled by Taro suddenly smashing the door open, but asked Taro to sit down with him.
“I never introduced myself to you, my name is Vb Ganz.” He started. “You said earlier you didn’t remember what happened, right?”
Taro nodded.
“Would you like to know?” Vb asked.
Taro nodded again.
“As I see it, your father was experimenting on you and the girl and this baby is the result of that experiment.” Vb explained. “What I mean is that you are this child's father. I don’t want to be the one to tell you how it works, but you’ll find out eventually. The most important part is what happened in that room after you came there. I can’t say for sure since I wasn’t there, but I believe that your anger took you over and killed everybody else in there.”
Taro barely understood what Vb was telling him in the first place, but he hadn’t been listening either. After hearing Vb say that he was the child’s father he went into shock. Vb didn’t notice this and kept explaining, but it was cut very short by Monika. She had woken up and was looking around. Taro came back to his senses the moment he saw her and immediately went to hug her. He kept apologizing to her and started crying, Monika wasn’t sure what he was apologizing for, but it still made her cry as well.
Vb watched as the two fell to their knees and stayed like that for a few minutes. While crying Monika told Taro of the last 9 months, she said that a few men came to her room every day to give her food, but otherwise she was completely alone and naked for the entire time.
Then Vb chimed in. “What about when you started giving birth?”
Monika didn’t know what to answer and Vb realized that she probably didn’t even know that she had given birth. “Do you remember the last day you were in that room?”
“I remember I peed a lot and then it started hurting down-there.” Monika answered.
Vb felt a sense of relief hearing Monika say that, he explained to Monika that she was now a mother. Unlike Taro, she looked excited and asked to hold the baby.
Present day
Milo told Michael a similar story from Vb’s point of view that he had told him. Michael didn’t interrupt Milo at all; he let him finish, but the moment he did he asked a question.
“So Mr. Tatadoro is your dad, why is his name Tatadoro?” He asked first.
“I don’t know, I’ve just always called him that.” Milo answered.
Michael then asked him when he was told who his actual parents were.
“I’ve always known, so I guess when I was still a baby.” He answered.
Michael was about to ask a question, but someone opened the door and peeked inside.
“Here you are!” Monika yelled. “Isaac said that you were looking for me. Where’s Tatadoro?”
“I was looking for dad or Eaco and Tatadoro’s still outside.” Milo answered.
Monika sat on one of the other chairs. “Why’re you looking for them?”
“Tatadoro told me to tell them who I think Sara is.” Milo
“Well?” Monika asked curiously.
“Samuel Laray.” Milo answered.
Monika was surprised. “Really?
“It makes sense. He’s been gone for almost two months now and when I was helping dad in Romania he was there with similar red hair as Sara has.” Milo
Monika stopped to think for a while, but Michael asked who Samuel Laray was.
“You don’t know?” Monika asked.
“He’s lost his memory, maybe he did before that.” Milo explained to Monika. “Samuel Laray is the strongest person on earth.”
Michael was confused. “I thought Mr. Tatadoro was.”
“Mister.” Monika chuckled. “Tatadoro is the strongest person in the GA because Samuel Laray has never worked at the GA.”
“So that person was Sara?” Michael asked. “Why was she in our class?”
“Because of Joy.” Monika answered. “She knew about Joy before any of us.”
Hearing Joy mentioned clearly upset Michael, he asked whether Joy was okay and then went to sleep.
Monika and Milo left Michael alone, but on their way out Monika apologized to him for bringing Joy up.
She didn’t ask Milo why he was talking with Michael because she knew. Milo never had any friends his own age because he worked at the GA. She also apologized to him and tried to cheer him up by telling that she believed Michael was unaware of Joy and Sara.
