As promised or expected (However you look at it.) Here is chapter one of the One For All sequel, Worlds United. The only thing I will say about this chapter is that it immediately takes off after the cliffhanger in One For All. So I guess that's all I have to say about that and I will let you guys read on

Family Reunion

"What's wrong Anna, why are you crying?" Jordan asked with concern.

Anna wiped a few tears from her eyes "Where were you?"

Jordan wasn't fully prepared for this type of response but Jordan did act quick and came up with the first logical thing he could think of "Uuuhhh, camping. yeah I was camping."

"No you weren't." Anna said with tears still building up.

"Yes I was."

"Jordan-"

"I don't know how your this upset, it's only been a couple days."

Jordan took Anna's phone and walked outside to look at the calendar on it and what he saw caused his heart to drop to his feet.

"TWO MONTHS." Jordan yelled.

Not only did this freak him out, it confused him as well. It only felt like a couple of days to him, how could time on earth fly so fast. Jordan decided to think it through later though and step back into Anna's room where she was now sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Well, uhhh, two months." Jordan said awkwardly "I guess It felt like a couple days to me then...I can assure you Anna though that I was camping."

Anna started to look closer at his face, "Why do you have cuts on your face then?"

Jordan walked over to a mirror on the left side of her room and looked through it. Jordan saw that he had multiple cuts on his face and cheek and knew those were from his battles. Jordan was quick on this answer though as he knew what to day. "I was uhh, parkouring and I fell a couple times, if you don't have the right protection you can get injuries like this."

"Is that why your jacket is torn up?"

Jordan looked down at his jacket and saw the multiple tears and rips in his jackets. Jordan sighed in frustration but answered his sisters question "Yes, that's why." Jordan said while walking towards her bed and sitting beside her.

Jordan looked over and saw Anna look down at his arm and slightly pull his sleeve up, revealing the still bright veins. "What's wrong with your arm?"

Jordan quickly pulled the sleeve up "Nothing, nothing." Jordan quickly said.

"Your hiding something."

"I just found glow-sticks and tore them open and rubbed the glowy stuff on my arms."

"Why?"

"I don't know I was just bored."

Anna got closer to Jordan and looked at his face and saw his red eyes.

"Have you slept in a while?"

"No."

"You should get some sleep then, Mom and Dad always said you should if your eyes are red."

"I'll leave you alone then and I'll go to my room then."

Jordan started to get up and walk to his room, but was stopped by Anna.

"Wait." Anna said, causing Jordan to walk back.

"What's up?" Jordan said.

Jordan saw Anna look closer to his neck Jordan knew what Anna was going to ask.

"The necklace, you don't have it on."

"What necklace?"

"The necklace I got for your birthday."

Jordan sighed and thought about what to say, he soon though thought of something and broke the news to her. "I...I-I lost it."

"You what?" Anna said, sounding upset.

"Anna listen." Jordan quickly said to reassure her "I know how you must feel but I will get you the money you paid for it back, I don't how but I will."

"But four months of allowance it took me to get you that." Anna said with tears starting to develop again.

Jordan picked her up and hugged her "I know Anna, I know, but I will get you that money back."

"Promise."

"You have my word."

There was now silence between the two for thirty seconds until Jordan broke that silence.

"You don't believe I was camping do you?"

"No."

"But it doesn't matter, I'm just so glad your here."

"I am to Anna."

Suddenly there was the sound of a door opening and Jordan and Anna quickly broke from the hug and Anna wiped the tears from her eyes.

"That must be Mom and Dad, there gonna be so happy your here."

And with that said, Anna quickly rushed down stairs to give their parents the news and Jordan slowly walked down stairs and prepared for a family reunion.

6 months later

July 23, 2012

4:43pm EST

Jordan's expectations were correct as he got a family reunion from his parents that he never expected. After a long talk he finally was able to get some sleep and enjoy a first ever peaceful night knowing he's not getting his head blown off. But days and soon weeks started to pass and Jordan felt no change to him. The days felt like the days he didn't meet Ratchet as he still avoided communication with people and occasionally stared out into the stars hoping that his friends were okay. Jordan soon fell into a depression that lasted for a month and soon develop a severe case of insomnia.

Not only did Jordan not feel like doing anything, but he felt like all the lives he took started to haunt him and soon he could get no sleep at all not matter how much he tried. It was during those months that Jordan was prescribed sleeping tablets and he had to take them just to sleep. But his depressing soon started to clear up and Jordan still was depressed, but mostly felt normal and had enough motivation to do things with his sister. Jordan also thought that it was now time to get a new weapon and Jordan earned not only enough money to get the money he owed his sister, but also bought a standard sawtooth machete for camping and sheathed it around the leg of the previous weapon. Hunting season just begun however and Jordan's father decided to take him and Anna out for hunting and Jordan thought that this maybe a good time to keep practicing his marksmanship and took the offer.

They luckily lived near a large forest suitable for hunting and he took his machete and his crossbow and went out to kill something. As they were walking, Jordan looked over and saw his sister and his thirty year old father both wearing orange hunting gear, while he looked at himself and saw he was wearing his perfectly sewn jacket. Once they reached the place they slowly started to position themselves inside a camo hunting blind and waited. They waited there for an hour and Jordan thought it would be hopeless, but just then a deer walked near the stand and started to eat some berries from a bush twenty feet away from them. Jordan thought this is the opportunity they were looking for and readied the shot.

Jordan set the base of the bow on a homemade wooden platform and readied the shot, Jordan's father sat next to him to observe while Anna sat behind them and made sure not to look. Jordan remembered what he learned and breathed very very slowly. Once the time was right, Jordan held his breath and slowly pulled the trigger. Jordan and his father both saw the arrow fly at amazing speed and they quickly saw the deer topple down and onto the ground in front of them. Jordan and his father slowly got up and walked out from the blind and towards the deer. Once they reached the deer, Jordan saw that from his knowledge, the arrow was pierced right through the deer heart and and his father looked proud of him.

"Right through the heart, nice shot son." Jordan's father said while removing the arrow.

"Thank ya." Jordan said in his still monotonous voice.

Once the arrow was removed, Jordan's father looked at him. "You still should've brought that orange jacket, you know how dangerous it is just to be wearing that."

"It's fine, there's no one really hunting out here anyways."

"You can't always be too careful."

"I know."

Jordan saw his dad pulling out his phone "Why don't ya stand beside the deer and I'll take a picture."

"Okay."

With that said Jordan stood beside the deer, crouched down and held both antlers with his hands and stared at the camera with a blank expression.

"Cmon you gotta smile son."

"Why?" Jordan said with more frustration.

"What do you mean why, its your first deer, you gotta at least look happy."

Jordan sighed in frustration "Fine."

Jordan started to slowly smile until a portion of his teeth were exposed and Jordan's father lifted the camera up and took the snapshot. Once he was done Jordan immediately gently lowered the deer head down and stood beside his father and both looked at the deer.

"What kind is it?" Jordan asked.

"White tail, ten point, not bad for a first timer."

Jordan said his father look over to a patch of flowers that were vibrant and color and then Jordan saw him look at him "Say Jordan, why don't you take your sister over there and help her pick out some flowers, give her something to do at least."

"Okay."

Jordan walked back over to the blind and saw Anna was sitting there looking bored out of her mind and told her if she wanted to pick any flowers. Anna accepted and they walked through a thick patch of trees and over to the flowers. Jordan helped Anna pick out a large sunflower, and different shades of purple tulips and while they were picking the flowers, Anna asked Jordan a question.

"Did you enjoy it?" Anna said, causing Jordan to pause from his picking and look at her.

"Enjoy what?"

"Killing that deer, I heard you sound more mad when he said you had to smile, were you happy you killed it?"

Jordan sighed "No, and you should never be either, killing is wrong no matter how you look at it. Even if its deer if I could take back that shot, I would."

"Why did you shoot then, why didn't you just let it go?"

"I don't know, I really just don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know."

"Anna I would like to answer that question for you but-."

Jordan was interrupted as he saw a cyan color suddenly cover the ground and cause him and his sister to look up where it was coming from. They saw that a bright blue orb was starting to illuminate and Jordan and Anna were paralyzed by its lure.

"What is that?" Anna said to Jordan, still staring at the orb.

They saw that the orb was getting brighter and Jordan somehow got control of his hand and started to smack himself multiple times. Jordan was now out of its paralyzing stare and felt something slightly pull him in. Jordan was quick on his toes and quickly told his sister to run.

"Anna run."

"What?" Anna said, finally out of the orbs stare.

"RUN." Jordan yelled pushing Anna away from him.

Jordan could now feel himself getting tugged into the orb and Anna went over and grabbed his arms. Jordan tried resisting her grip but she was too strong for him and soon Jordan got that ripping feeling inside of him and started to talk.

"Let go Anna."

"NO."

"Anna listen, you have to let go, I promise you I'll come back."

"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"

"ANNA PLEASE, TRUST ME ON THIS."

"...YOU PROMISE."

"I SWEAR."

Anna resisted to let go but she finally got enough confidence to do so and she quickly saw Jordan get sucked up into the orb and felt herself get forcefully pushed back and knock her flat on her back. Anna got up and looked to where Jordan was an all she saw was the never ending forest. Anna quickly went into panic mode and rushed back to her dad and saw her father look just as worried as she was. Anna brought him back to the spot where Jordan last was and told him what Jordan told her. Anna and her father quickly started to search the wilderness for Jordan's whereabouts, but there was no luck. Soon they started to walk back to their house and Anna sat down with her parents and she told them what Jordan said to her. They obviously had no idea what she was talking about but if Jordan said to Anna that he would come back, then that was all the hope they needed for his return. With the conversation done, the family sat down and watched TV, worrying and praying for their son and brothers return.

Thus the introduction to Worlds United. As before it probably won't be until chapter 3 or 4 until the adventure kicks off. I guess I don't have much to say now, but stay tuned for chapter 2 as Jordan relives the adventure once again.
