It has been five years since that day
Ren wakes up only to find his wife, Jeanne is still sleeping. It's not just normal sleep, it's comatose state, for two years.
Jeanne, please wake up. Don't let me and our son wait anymore.
He reluctantly leave the bed to go to his son room. Men, after all, will go to Japan for the next fight, the F.O.M today
* Two years ago*
It was supposed to be a happy family picnic day. A perfect day. Jeanne was preparing their lunch while he was teaching Men to use Bason. Oh, he certainly wasn't watching how her hair sparkling in the sunlight. Not at all. It just that his son took his not-concentrate moment as an advantage to defeat him. Well, he is a Tao after all. They were enjoying their family picnic until a pyramid creature and some masked men came and started attacking Men. With all the family team-working, they were about to finish those strangers off when it happened. The pyramid thing appeared behind Men's back and threw a sword at him. Before either he or Men could do something, Jeanne threw herself in front of their son. Blood. He saw that sword went through her stomach. Her white dress is now all red. He screamed and ran to catch her.
That pyramid things just laughed then turn to a frozen Men:
-I intended to kill you, but on the second thought, it won't be fun. Let's take your mother's death as my greeting gift. We will meet again in the F.O.M
And with that, he dis appeared, leaving a crying Men and furious Ren behind
Luckily his wife didn't die. She just fell into a deep sleep. He tried everything to wake her up but nothing worked. His Jeanne just keep sleeping, a sleeping beauty - just like she once told him.
He was very angry to see Hao show up and offer Men to fight on his behalf. But when they heard about the miracle the winner could earn, Men just agreed and looked up to him:
-I will bring Mommy back for sure
-
From that day, Men just went training non-stopped. Whenever he told him to rest, Men just stared at him with those eyes - those ruby eyes full of determination. Exactly like the first time he saw her open her eyes during the Tournament.
They were silent all the way to the airport. Before Men gets on the airplane, he hugs him and just whisper "be safe". They are the family after all, doesn't speak doesn't mean they don't love each other. He watched the plane take off before driving back home with her . Our son will surely bring you back to us, Jeanne.
