Atziri came to Joshua and Blossom's defense, but they didn't understand why, time continued, the Earth started to spin again in both translational and rotational motion, the Fighting Cats ship teleported those who were on Armin's ship, including Fiorella McGregor and returned her to the Sentinel Base, leaving both Fiorella and Armin heartbroken, Armin, before giving the order, asks them to give the crew a moment, goes to his room and cries inconsolably for a long time, then comes back and acts as if nothing had happened, but his eyes gave him away (the eyes turn royal blue when a Warshapian is in a lot of pain, if it is physical, the color is dimmer, and if it is emotional, the color is denser and darker) and Armin's eyes were of this last color, the commander of the ship asks him what happened but Armin ordered not to ask, Fiorella, who is a graphic designer, when she returned, with many tears Dripping down his cheeks, he began to design his sadness with a computer.
The Sentinel Legion continues desperately searching for a way to get Sky Panther out of the black hole where he was swallowed, as well as The Fighting Cats, according to their leader Antoinette, interim leader Hansel, and Gretel, Jung Jae, and Seung You return to Earth 02. What is a fact, is that Joshua remembered something from the past.
Hours before time returned, a conversation between Joshua, Blossom, and Atziri, after the advice Atziri Skyintellstraighwar gave them.
"I remember you," Joshua said, "a photo! You were there, next to my father, but the way you were together wasn't like a couple, it was like there was another kind of love, like, a sibling affection."
Atziri doesn't understand how Joshua still remembers that, if that's why they erased their memories.
_My brother already told me about that photo, and yes, I did get to see it at the time, even though I don't remember well, just as Joshua describes the woman in the photo, that's you! Did you know our father?
_I told you, guys! In due time, you'll all know.
_You saved me!_ Joshua exclaimed. _When the megatsunami hit Miami, and I had to warn everyone and I had no way to survive, you saved me! Not only did I receive help from those women, and I think men in cat suits, it was you too!_
Atziri sighs as she realizes how cunning Joshua is, and that even though she tried to hide it (because a part of her still cherishes a sense of duty to the Federation despite having been an Outlander alien for a long time), it was impossible.
_ I know that not knowing certain truths now is like "walking through a valley of darkness," but you must trust, that everything will come in due time! Now, go! Before my brother sees you, go!
End of Flashback
Jawara returns to Earth with the Arspace-Wanderer, reassured that his wife is well, the child they are expecting, and his brother-in-law, but still perplexed by everything his biological parents' doppelgängers have revealed to him so far.
After time has run its course
The days pass, there is more confusion, more fear, more insecurity, there are many protests about those who have already learned about the arks and the overcrowding within them, many even resignedly taking their own lives from cliffs. Humanity begs for help, wants to find a solution, but doesn't know how, just as it is not knowing how to get out of a confusing and powerful labyrinth. All the news reports show the global panic, and supernatural phenomena are observed, both in the sky and on Earth. Humanity is beginning to lose hope. The underground ark project is the only thing that can save several people from the catastrophe. Although the Airspace Wanderer has what it takes to keep several people safe, it is not equipped enough to withstand all natural disasters. It can continue to innovate and become much stronger, but there is no time left. Time is running out, and humanity is walking through the valley of darkness. Jawara and the others secured a small apartment in the United Kingdom and pondered what comes next.
You can see Dorothy driving the Fast Sea Car, to meet her father, she was very upset for having seen her father giving love to another woman who was not her mother, although in her heart she knew that she was the doppelgänger of her deceased mother, the words that Fiorella addressed to her touched her heart and she truly felt compassion for humanity, her sense of duty and her law to which they cling not only the Warshapians, all aliens in general should not allow humanity to know of their existence, they can do much more, but she went out for "a ride" with the Fast Sea Car to calm her anger, on the way she meditates on the romance she has with Yadir, she meditates that it is an impossible love
but she still loves him and wants to find a way to be with him. Her father still doesn't know, Dorothy keeps a big secret that makes her an impossible love for Yadir: aliens must not only do the impossible so that a human can even know of their existence, there is another law, which is among the first in the Federation that prohibits an alien from marrying a human, in fact, breaking that law could even cost the alien their life or at least, a brutal punishment. Just as Yadir dreamed, Dorothy is an alien with the body of a human being (an alien who looks like a human, that's how several alien races look, but with powerful nuances). They can easily blend in with people and go unnoticed (Warshapians, though not to the extent of Margaret).
Dorothy heads to a base in outer space, where she'll see her father, but as she travels, she meditates on her love for Yadir.
In Dorothy's mind: (It's practically forbidden for me to marry an Earthling, but the truth is, I'm very much in love with him. From the moment I saw him, I knew I wanted him as a life partner, but it's an impossible love. What can I do about it? Father won't accept it even as a joke, especially with so many problems humans have already befallen us! I think I should keep it a secret while I find a way for my father to approve of our love.)
Hello, daughter, I'm so glad to see you.
Hello, Dad, what's happening to Earth! Dorothy sighs heavily. Millions of people are dying there.
_ I know, the end of the world has come to humans, but due to so many situations that got out of control because many humans provoked them, we can't directly interfere with what's happening.
_ That's true, but the shadow hole has them confused. Fortunately, they haven't discovered what we don't want them to know, but I'm afraid they might.
_ Why do you say that? You know very well that because of so many events and incidents experienced with humans, many now know about us. You know about the fight we had with those humans, using tactics that even many of me were unaware of! A single human woman managed to electrocute several Warshapians by herself!
_ Yes, that's true. And adding that you fought other humans in suits resembling terrestrial animals that humans call cats. Specifically with one, I was surprised that the fight ended in a tie for quite a while.
Armin puts both hands on his daughter's shoulders.
_My daughter, you know that a Warshapian shouldn't show his full power to the enemy. When the time comes, he does it to protect himself or save his life. Armin lowers his head, a little bewildered. _But I was impressed by the man I fought after that warrior woman, and he was a human who handled swordsmanship prodigiously for a human.
_Better, Father, let's stop thinking about those things. Let's focus on making humans forget us. But if we can't achieve that anymore, keep them away from us as best we can, especially with someone in particular.
_Who are you talking about?
_His name is Yadir Patterson. He and his sister are very interested in knowing if alien life exists. Yadir because he told me he dreamed of an alien invasion on Earth, and his sister, Iris, has me in her sights because I didn't save many people when a mega-tsunami hit Earth. Look! I have a picture of the two of them here.
Armin stares at the photo, and recognizes Iris (Iris Hauer's doppelgänger, The Ice Cat).
"How much more right you are to proceed with caution!" "Humans must not know of our existence. It's the first rule of the Federation, and we will not break it for anything in the world. I'll make sure all those humans forget us!"
"That's right, Father."
"You should know, daughter, that the warrior woman you defended me from, that woman in that feline suit, is the doppelgänger in the photo. She's the sister of that Yadir Patterson. Don't underestimate her! Nor that lunatic! Because you and I know very well why that law exists in the Federation."
_ I know, and I want it to be that way. I'll be careful of Yadir and his sister, especially knowing whose doppelganger she is (now I understand why she told me to stay away from her brother when I confronted her). Wait! See that?
_ See what, daughter?
A tornado could be seen in space, but the tornado was made of ice. A giant ice tornado spun with great force and froze everything in its path.
_ Oh my God! Will it get here? - said Dorothy.
_ No, I don't think so. It's holding its position.
_ What worries me is that it will reach Earth. They already have enough natural disasters without that tornado causing more damage!
_ Calm down, little one, that tornado won't reach Earth, nor will it lead here.
On the other hand,
You can see Jawara pondering what he did and what Raymond and Genevieve told him. Two months have passed. He accepted his adoptive mother's proposal. He did it because he cares about saving his family, although deep down he still holds a grudge, even though he's willing to forgive. He was intently watching the sky, seeing the phosphorescent lights, wondering when the time would come when he would face another natural disaster. The extractions into outer space were epic. The sight of a large, awe-inspiring black hole that even astronomers hadn't been able to discover was all the things he'd experienced. At that moment, his wife arrived. "What are you thinking about, my love?" Blossom said.
"I think about all the lives lost, and the lives that will continue to be lost due to natural disasters. (Jawara still doesn't want to talk about what happened in her conversations with her biological parents' doppelgangers.) I wanted to save so many people when the tsunami and thunderstorms hit, but I couldn't. Even when the megatsunami hit Miami, I couldn't do anything. Now I understand that I won't be able to save them all, but I'm determined to save everyone I love.
"I know you will. What adventures we've had! You'll have so much to tell this little one on the way. He'll be very surprised to learn about all the adventures his father went on.
"Oh yes, yes! What do you think we'll be like as parents?" _ Honestly, I imagine ourselves being very good parents. If our relationship has been stable and long-lasting, we'll give our little one a very good life, although I'm still worried about him being born in the middle of all these natural disasters. I already wish they'd end!
_ By the way, how was the situation when two spaceships shot at you?
In Blossom's mind
_ (I must tell you, he's my husband, and trust should come from being honest with each other, so I'll tell him) - Blossom tells him everything she's experienced and how Jannaly the Ice Cat interfered. Although she didn't know it, Atziri made sure she forgot certain things, which is why she still remembered Dorothy as she remembered her before the events when Jannaly and the Ice Cat interfered. What I can tell you is that I saw Dorothy's eyes shine again.
_ That's been enough times! I know alien existence is a reality. I don't know if Dorothy is among them, but I think what matters now is survival.
At that moment, there's a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Jawara asks.
"It's me!" Jawara said.
"Hello, sister, what's up? By the way, are you feeling better now?"
"Of course! We're in good hands! And even more so now that Andrei and his wife are with us, and of course! Let's not forget Jaidev. Come, look at the sky!"
The sky looked like a circle of water rotating at great speed. It was like an asteroid belt, but in the form of water. There was a combination of many elements, both terrestrial and spatial, but in a way that not even science fiction had shown in movies. As William O'Connell said: "With the coming of the end of the world, the laws that governed nature and space were completely lost."
"This is impressive!" exclaims Blossom.
"Will it not reach Earth?" asks Jawara.
"I don't know!" What I do know is that as an astronomer and astrophysicist, I've never seen anything like this before!" Sharon said.
A familiar face appears, making Jawara forget what she sees in the sky.
"Hello, Mr. Malenfant!" shouts little Jacob.
"Hello, champ! I'm glad to see you!" says Jawara as she picks up Jacob.
"How impressive it is to see that ring of water!" said Jacob. "You don't even see this in movies! It's fantastic!"
"Actually, yes, the thing is, where did it come from?"
"Hey, Mrs. Malenfant, I wanted to talk to you!" said Jacob excitedly.
"Oh really?" "Well, I'm listening," Blossom said, bending down on her knees to listen to little Jacob.
"I heard you drove the Airspace-wanderer and that several fiery meteorites hit them, but that spaceships also fired at you. Is that true?"
"Actually, yes, two ships chased us, but we managed to evade them. And what do you think? Aliens appeared! Room!"
"Actually, I have pictures of the last ships," Iris said, joining the conversation.
"Last ships? What are you talking about, Iris?" Jawara said.
"Look at these pictures."
Although the aliens gave them amnesia so they wouldn't know about them (before time stopped), Iris managed to take pictures of them and remembered she had them.
"This isn't possible, this didn't even happen!" Jawara said.
"Yadir told me something: he remembers they gassed us and then lost consciousness. This was before time stopped, and he thinks that's what caused us to not remember the ships," Iris said confidently. "But also the fact that I have a doppelganger who is a superhero in a cat suit,
calls herself The Ice Cat.
_Yes, my wife already told me about that mysterious woman who looks just like you and what happened to Jannaly. Let me take a good look at the pictures!- said Jawara.
Looking at the pictures, Jawara begins to vividly remember the spaceships that attacked them, and later remembers that was before the black hole almost sucked them in.
_It's not possible!- exclaimed Jawara. - With this, we prove that aliens do exist, and a new, never-before-seen black hole that even scared us! Jacob, you asked me if I believed aliens existed, my answer now is yes.
_Aliens! An alien invasion!- exclaimed Jacob.
_That's right, champ! But there are also superheroes. A woman in a feline suit calls herself The Ice Cat, and she fights aliens. And the information my brother-in-law, my wife, and my friends gave me tells me she's here to save the world too.
"Are there superheroes who will save us now too? Great! Great! Great!" Jacob couldn't stop shouting and jumping with excitement. Later, his mother came to pick him up, and they left.
"There's no doubt anymore! Blossom's testimony, my testimony, Joshua's when the Miami incident happened, and the photos prove it. I wonder if that belt of water you can see in outer space has to do with aliens," Iris said.
"We don't know," Jawara said. "What I do know is that right now I don't know what we should defend ourselves from first."
"Jawara!" Joshua said, arriving fairly quickly. "You need to know this. A tsunami is coming, but it's going to be a tsunami of thunder."
"A what?" Jawara responds incredulously.
"A tsunami of thunder, well, actually it's a mega tsunami."
"That's impossible," Blossom asserts. "How is it possible for thunder to take the form of a tsunami?"
"We've seen too much already!" Iris said. "We shouldn't be surprised that something like this is coming, the question is when?"
"In a week," Joshua said. "Records show that a mega tsunami of thunder is coming in just one week, so we must evacuate. If a normal tsunami kills many people, now imagine one like that! Let's use the Airspace-wanderer. The alert has already been issued. We must prepare. A circle of phosphorescent colors has already appeared in the sky, as well as a belt of water. We can't expect anything less."
Yadir is looking for Dorothy; he wants her to come with them. He finds her and tries to persuade her.
"Hello, my love! I'm so glad I found you!" We must go, this won't last long," Yadir said.
"Yadir, you must go, you must hide."
"I won't leave without you, don't you understand?" (I know you're an alien, many truths have reached me, but I know that even though you have the potential to protect yourself, I love you, and besides, this end of the world isn't something you should underestimate.)
"Yadir, I can take care of myself. I have the Fast Sea Car. Besides, like I told you, we wouldn't always be together, so these are the times when we won't be together."
"I can't allow this! Come with me!"
"I won't! But I promise I'll be okay. Now hide! Because a tsunami of thunder is coming."
"A what?" Yadir says, very surprised.
"A tsunami of thunder. You must hide. I will help as many people as I can. This supernatural phenomenon is imminent."
_Why do you deny me being with you, Dorothy? Are you hiding something? (Come clean, my sister Iris already told me what you are)
Dorothy stares at Yadir. She doesn't want him to know the truth. She wants all humans (including the Sentinels and the Fighting Cats) to forget her existence at all costs, but she knows that sooner or later, Yadir will find out.
_Go away now, Yadir! I love you!
Dorothy gets into the Fast Sea Car and drives off, leaving Yadir in deep pain.
_I know you'll come back, Yadir said.
Iris is reporting what's happening in the sky: two circles, one of fluorescent colors and the other of water. The people look at them, impressed.
Hello, I'm Iris Patterson, reporting on two supernatural phenomena. Humanity has already suffered too many losses due to the natural disasters and supernatural phenomena that have occurred over the past few months. We can see those circles spinning at great speed. These are phenomena that, according to astronomers, astrophysicists, meteorologists, and other scientists, cannot even describe due to their complexity, and nothing like this has ever been seen before. But they give no indication that they will fall here on Earth. Wait! See that? It looks like a spaceship. Could it be true that aliens exist? Many articles have been published stating that they do exist, especially based on some photos that yours truly took. I'm here with Joshua Dellinger, an expert meteorologist. Tell me, Dr. Dellinger, what can humanity expect now? _ As for the two mysterious circles, I don't know, the technicalities and meteorological terminology can't even describe it, but I can tell you
Or to say that a megatsunami of thunder is coming, yes! You heard right! A megatsunami of thunder.
"This is alarming! But we can't expect anything less. What are you suggesting we do, Dr. Dellinger?"
"My recommendation is to flee far away. The tsunami will devastate the entire United Kingdom. There's one week left, so you'll have plenty of time to flee and hide."
At that moment, a thick darkness fell. They couldn't see each other, and screams began to be heard.
"A thick darkness fell upon us! Stay calm!" Iris said. "Where are my brothers?" Iris said, distressed.
"All I know is that Yadir went to look for Dorothy," Blossom said.
"But he hasn't returned! And where is Yamal?" Iris asked, distressed.
"They'll be fine, I promise. Let's go to our apartment. It's the closest one now. Sharon is over there," Blossom said, trying to calm Iris. "And Andrei, Melanie, Jaidev, your other siblings, will be there too. Come on! Let's hold hands, and someone will feel their way in front of us."
Jawara, Blossom, Iris, and Joshua head straight to Jawara's apartment. Fortunately, they were able to reach her with the light from her cell phone. All signals were cut off, but the cell phones were still emitting their light, and they were able to use it. To their surprise, Sharon started having seizures.
"Sharon! Come on! Help me get her up," Jawara exclaimed, distressed.
"Wait! My wife and I will take care of it," said Andrei, who is following with his wife, Melanie. Thanks to this, Sharon woke up.
"Guys!" "It's good to see you," Sharon said.
"You gave me a huge scare, Sharon!" Jawara said, hugging her sister.
"Luckily, I have Andrei and Melanie looking after me. The injection is too expensive, but it's worth it. The amnesia and seizure came from the approaching darkness."
"I'm so worried about my siblings," Iris exclaimed. "Yamal left as soon as we returned to Earth to continue caring for people suffering from mental illness, and Yadir is still so focused on Dorothy."
"Don't worry, Iris," Jawara said. "I know Yadir. He's a survivor. He'll be fine, and Yamal always finds a way to get out unharmed."
"I hope so. The situation is very critical," Iris said.
"My sister!" Andrei said, deeply grateful for what Iris had done for him in the past. "You helped me so much. Now it's my turn. Tell me what you need, and I'll be there for you, little sister. Just as Jaidev has been there for me, now he and I will be there for you." Andrei and Jaidev take charge of comforting and reassuring their sister Iris.
Meanwhile, now that Jawara knows many truths, it was time for Sharon and him to talk. So, while chatting on their cell phones, they had a deep conversation about their discoveries. They discussed how Sharon now knows whose biological daughter she is, and that Iris and Yadir are her blood siblings. Jawara discussed the revelations her biological parents' doppelgängers made to her. This makes Sharon hate Madeleine even more, and they haven't even learned the worst part yet! They only knew a little bit! But despite that, they both swore they would continue to love each other like siblings, although deep down, Jawara felt jealous (sibling jealousy) that Sharon now had to love her biological siblings.
After that conversation, which lasted several hours, Blossom heard a very strange noise.
"Listen to that!" Blossom said, hearing people screaming. "What's going to happen? By the way, I have a question: Are we going to defend ourselves against an alien invasion?" "I think so!" Iris said. "And I told them that I suspect someone is an alien."
"Oh yeah? And who is it?" Sharon asked.
"Dorothy, and we have many reasons to believe it."
"The truth is, I agree with you, Iris," Joshua said. "With everything we already know, even with these beings' attempts to keep us from knowing about them, several of you have said you've seen Dorothy's eyes glow. She's also a very mysterious girl; she always acts as if she's hiding something, and she hardly lets herself be seen."
"That's logical!" Blossom said. "When she had the opportunity to save many people, she said she wouldn't save them because she shied away from acts of precision. I saw her face, and her eyes turned a bright color."
"If Dorothy is an alien, what is her purpose here on Earth?" Jawara said. "She hasn't harmed us. It's true that she let many people die, but she hasn't harmed us."
"We don't know yet," Joshua said, "but we must find out, because if those ships shot at my sister, and even Iris's doppelgänger Jannaly had to intervene! The fact that she's wearing a cat suit means they have an evil purpose."
"Something doesn't add up!" Iris exclaimed.
"What's going on, Iris?" Jawara asked.
"When the black hole almost sucked us in, ships attacked again, and they threw gas at us to give us amnesia, even though I have the photos that prove they were spaceships. Why didn't they do the same to Blossom?
And why didn't they do it if they found out what happened later with Jannaly and my double?
Everyone falls silent. Iris was right, and they had to find out why.
"Good question," Joshua said. "We already have a lot of questions to answer, but what I do know is that we need all the help we can get to survive."
"Hey! Have you seen this?" Sharon said.
"What's going on, Sharon?" Blossom said.
"Time is going backwards. The seconds and minutes are going backwards."
"What are you saying?" Joshua exclaimed.
"The minutes are going backwards."
"And not only that, you have to go out and see what I'm seeing," Blossom said.
They go outside and see the shape of a giant ice labyrinth in the sky.
"It's not possible!" Jawara said. "It's a star labyrinth!"
"But what does that labyrinth mean? Is it the sign of the end of the world?" Sharon said.
The children stare in amazement at all the phenomena in the sky. Meanwhile, Dorothy can be seen gazing at the labyrinth from the Fast Sea Car, and suddenly, she receives a phone call.
"Hello?"
"Hello, daughter, it's me."
"Hello, Dad, I'm glad you called."
"What are you doing right now?"
"I'm gazing at the stellar labyrinth. It's impressive! Despite what we're used to seeing, I'm still impressed by the wonders that can be observed in nature and the universe."
"Honestly, my daughter, tell me something. Have you managed to keep your suspicions with Yadir under control?"
_ I don't know, Dad. He's very insistent on knowing who I am, but there's an Earthling woman who's the most insistent. You know, it's Iris Patterson. Since she's a reporter and does a lot of research, they've got their eyes on me.
_ Then stay away from her. No one can know you're not human, no one can! Humans can't know of our existence. "EVERY human is dangerous, and that's why they shouldn't know we aliens exist." (Armin Skyintellstraighwar quote)
_ Hey, then, why did you allow two spaceships to attack Jawara Malenfant's wife and still remember her?
_ Daughter, sooner or later they'll know of our existence. In fact, those who call themselves Sentinels already know, and that was just a glimpse of what they'll know in the future. They'll know, but it won't be millions of years from now. But by then, we'll have found a way to keep them from knowing. Our technology is superior! Humanity's technology is very limited for them to discover our existence. Even if they already have proof that we exist, it'll take them a long time to build something that will help them discover us completely and fully.
_ Yes! You know, Dad? I wanted to tell you something. You won't like it, but you should know.
_ Oh yeah? Let me know.
_ I wish I had a companion.
At that moment, Dorothy's father felt an electric current running through his body. It was his little girl, and he couldn't imagine she would tell him that.
_ Oh yeah? Don't tell me. You're my little girl, and I don't want my little girl to leave so soon.
_ I know, Dad. Our relationship is very close, something for which I'm very grateful, but I'd also like to enjoy the company that lasts a lifetime.
_ I know, daughter, and the day you fall in love, I only ask that you fall in love with the right person. Don't let your emotions rule you. Think with a cool head. In case that person isn't the right one, if you're going to choose, choose well.
_ Of course, Dad. I assure you I'll make that decision the right way.
Dorothy's father felt pain when he heard his daughter say that, like walking in the dark, but he knows that sooner or later it has to happen. And even though he continues with his adventures, his emotions churn again and again when he remembers his wife Fiorella's doppelgänger and that event that happened between him and her. His daughter, out of respect, decided not to question her father, but Armin continued to suffer greatly from his wife's death. He believed his daughter Khione (Kesil) was dead, but he also had mixed emotions and feelings for his beloved wife's doppelgänger. Although Fiorella still loves her late husband Yoann, she also has mixed feelings for Armin.
Sharon loves to write in her diary and writes the following:
_ Dear Diary: Right now, I'm experiencing mixed emotions. My mother is back, but to me, she's no longer my mother. In fact, now that I know the truth and who my real parents were, what happened on that ship where I met the doppelgängers of my deceased parents, and what Jawara revealed to me, I'm even more determined to refuse to forgive Madeleine and don't even want to call her mother anymore. I see the Earth about to disappear due to so many natural disasters. I'm so scared! I know I have a way to survive, but fear still paralyzes me. I have a disease that causes me to have strong seizures and gives me amnesia. My husband was paying for a treatment to aggressive to be able to control this strange disease, but now that Andrei and I know that we are blood brothers, now completely free he takes care of me and my sister-in-law, who surprises me a lot, suffers from Asperger's Syndrome! But I fear that at some point my treatment will not be successful and I will have to face my illness in a catastrophic way. I hope and we can come out of this unscathed."
