Author's Notes: This is probably the last episode for sometime. I'd be on writer's block after this and I've had some ideas for this episode so it's best to get them on before I forget. I started off this episode by starting with A.J., Stan and Grace. Wow! It has been some time since those two have appeared! New characters are to appear in this episode. Enjoy and review...

Spirit Jerebis: Zealon Feranin 1: Return of the Islamic Nation
Episode 13: "Tales of Return"
Previously on Return of the Islamic Nation: We left off with new Codelimin appearing, new characters appearing and trouble ended at the amusement park. On with the conclusion.
TWO DAYS LATER...
"Are you positive about the meeting today?" A.J. asked.
"Yeah, considering the trouble they had in defeating Leogramon." Shomon replied.
A.J. glanced at Stan and both grinned. Both knew what the other was thinking. Either one of them would have easily defeated Leogramon. One Grasmon sighed, knowing who Leogramon was from. The entire group, minus Hippo Gryphomon and Soarmon, were in Actonal Mansion. Hippo Gryphomon was somewhere in another continent as was Soarmon.
"At least the preparations for the party are ready." Grace reminded.
"All we have to do is wait." Otazoidmon sighed.
"Hey! I want to come with you all." Ġaleb stated.
Mark turned his head towards Ġaleb and shook it.
"Sorry, but its Crescent League business." Mark refused.
"The incident happened in my country. I have the right in knowing what it is!" Ġaleb argued.
The two were in the middle of the street. The rest of the league was safe on the sides of one of the sidewalks. Mark glared at Ġaleb.
"If it wasn't for us, there would be no country for you to lead!" He hissed.
"If it wasn't for that Codelimin, you wouldn't have survived!" Ġaleb grunted.
Mark narrowed his eyes, "True but you..." He started.
"If you see your leader, tell him aimer for me and that he can take my place." Ġaleb sighed, interrupting Mark.
Mark blinked, "What?" He asked, whispering.
"..."
Mark sighed and turned around; he stopped and stared at the speeding car. He quickly glanced at Ġaleb and understood.
"A.J. would lead ICT well." He muttered.
Ġaleb only nodded in reply. Mark hastily rushed back to his league, who were urging him over. The speeding car was a mustang colored red. It impacted with Ġaleb and exploded. The girls turned their heads away and the boy lowered their heads.
"Lu!" Lunal cheered, entering the room.
A.J. jumped to his feet, with Lunal flying over to his sailor. A.J. quickly embraced Lunal, while Lunal sighed happily, slowly closing his eyes. A tall figure entered the room and A.J. stared at him, the figure stared back. Only A.J.; Lunal, and his other soul-warriors were there. Stan; Grace, and their soul-warriors were keeping watch. How did this figure enter unnoticed?
"Aimer sig." The figure greeted.
A.J. blinked, narrowing his eyes in confusion.
"The only brother I have is the one back in..." A.J. stared, but the tall figure shook his head.
"You do resemble him somewhat a little." A.J. commented.
The tall figure shrugged and approached A.J. His soul-warriors backed away, with Lunal flying away from A.J.'s embrace. The figure extended his hand and A.J. took it, staring the figure into his eyes in question.
"Name's Kamisai Spenian and my mountain name is Grass Sprout. Where's mom? I heard that you had some quality time with her." The figure grinned, releasing A.J.'s hand.
A.J. gasped, "I have an older brother! An older brother from Tosha?" He asked.
"Well aren't you formal." Kamisai commented.
A.J. shook his head, "I didn't know..." He started.
Tosha entered the room and was about to say something but stopped upon noticing Kamisai. She only had skirts on. Kamisai sensed her and didn't bother to turn around. Two other figures came in and only then Kamisai bothered to turn around. The two newcomers only glanced once at Tosha and turned their attention to Kamisai and A.J. Annoyed, Tosha left up back to her room. Kamisai sighed with A.J.
"Luis Tawan; Dreamtruth is my mountain name." Luis greeted.
"Name's Tanis Glide; Glaring Gale: Mountain Name." Tanis greeted.
"How did you three enter without my watchers seeing you?" A.J. asked.
"Through your underground tunnel. You know: the one from close to the lake to your room." Luis replied.
"Bro, if I were you, I'd not betray Helen again. You know you're making adultery that way." Kamisai whispered.
"I know. I haven't fucked her from since this league started." A.J. explained.
"So then she came down to try and seduce you?" Kamisai asked.
A.J. shrugged, "I guess so. She tried from since I returned. I refused." He replied.
"Good. You want to stay on good terms with Helen then, eh?" Kamisai asked.
A.J. nodded, "Yes. I also know Islamic laws and that my ancestors worshipped Allah and devoted most of their time to him. I don't know if you're from the same ancestry as I am from though."
"Don't worry on that, I'm crescentian blood." Kamisai grinned.
"Do you three know about the rest of the league?" Otazoidmon asked.
"Who is this new guy?" Kamisai asked.
A.J. smiled, turning to his most recent soul-warrior.
"He's my newest soul-warrior: Otazoidmon." He introduced.
"About your question Otazoidmon, the Code Union has known of the league since it was established. However, only I and a traitor are the remaining members of the union." Luis sighed.
A.J. had a sudden thought and stared at Luis.
"Are you in anyway in relation with the Hamackif siblings?" He asked.
Luis grinned, "I'm one of their cousins. I'm not as old as you think. Also, there are four Hamackif siblings; not three." He explained.
"Helen mentioned nothing about a forth sibling." A.J. stated.
"No wonder, the fourth is a sister, older than Helen herself. The Actonal family isn't the only mystery family you know; we Hamackifs have our own mysteries as well." Luis smiled.
"And complications." A.J. added.
"We know everything..." Kamisai started.
A.J. held up his hand, stopping Kamisai from going further. A.J. pointed at Tanis.
"Where do you come in from all of this?" A.J. asked.
"Just a cab driver from ICT." Tanis replied.
"What's ICT?" A.J. asked.
"That's where Crescent League is currently living, in Tamudom. Not to mention, they're living in different cities." Luis explained.
"That's where you live also." Tanis stated.
"And a most nice place too." Luis nodded.
"Crescent League isn't in Beverly Hills anymore?" Zonemon asked.
"What about... Crescent School; Steve, and the others?" Ememon asked.
"No idea." Luis shrugged.
"Deep trouble. The so called Cobra Terrorists took full control of not only Crescent School, but also of Beverly Hills since Crescent League left the U.S. Mark and the others can tell you about Cobra Terrorists." Kamisai explained.
"I have some ideas about them already." A.J. muttered.
Just then, Shomon slid pass the room's entrance, apparently going fast and slipping, ending up in sliding pass the room. A few moments later and Shomon reappeared at the entrance.
"The whole league is here with new people." He announced.
"Where's Grace; Stan and the others?" A.J. asked.
"Out there meeting them." Shomon replied.
"I'd need someone to keep Tosha away for the whole party." A.J. requested.
"I'm up to it." Tanis decided, leaving.
Shomon walked in and everyone in the room took their seats, waiting for the rest to come in.
Stan rushed out with his soul-warriors and Grace with her soul-warriors. Grace sent Shomon to inform A.J. of the league's arrival. Upon seeing them, Samantha; Simon; Ann and Karen all rushed to Stan. Stan blinked, noticing Ann and Karen. Without hesitance, he embraced Samantha and Simon dearly and tightly. Samantha started sobbing. Ann just smiled. Karen was excited but careful at the same time; it was the first time she personally met her oldest brother.
The rest of the league gathered around the two.
"Wasn't A.J. with you?" Helen asked.
Stan shrugged, "Beats me... Let's all go in now."
"Let's." Mark agreed, knowing that being a leader was over for him.
Stan and Grace led them into Actonal Mansion and towards the party room. Both took the lead and smiled, entering the welcome room.
Upon the league's entrance, A.J. smiled. The league all piled in the room near the entrance. A.J. could see Al and Otameno amongst them and chuckled, knowing almost at once that they were members of the league. Alan gritted his teeth and ran into A.J.'s arms; his hands were fisted and hitting A.J.'s chest gently, quietly starting to sob. Helen just smiled and slowly approached A.J.; she went into A.J.'s embrace willingly, sobbing with her younger brother.
Al and Otameno both grinned in return to A.J.
"Don't abandon your myths Amarito... About what Grace said... When we're old enough." Helen whispered, loud enough for only A.J. to hear.
Stan noticed Kamisai and Tanis. He pointed at them.
"Who are they?" He asked.
A.J. smiled and both Helen and Alan let go of him. A.J. wiped Helen's tears for her and Karen wiped Alan's tears. Alan smiled at Karen and Helen smiled at A.J.
"Well, it seems that its first introduction time now and then would be story all. Crescent League... and none members, not yet anyways... This is Kamisai Spenian: my older blood brother, his mountain name is Grass Sprout, as mine is Young Owl. This is Tanis Glide, two of you might know him. This is Luis Tawan, previously leader of Code Union, his mountain name is Dreamtruth... I think some of you might know him." A.J. grinned.
Helen; Alan, and even Ryan were all speechless, just staring at Luis. Luis just grinned back. Ann and Karen approached Stan.
"Stan." Ann started.
Stan blinked, staring at his mom. He nodded.
"This is Karen, your younger sister. She was born while you were away. This is Mikemon: my own soul-warrior." Ann smiled.
Stan gasped and fainted, collapsing to the ground. A.J. rolled his eyes and went over to Stan, shaking him. Samantha was beside Stan, worried.
Stan stirred and woke up. He sat up in the bed and opened his eyes, moaning once. Samantha and Simon were there with Stan's and their soul-warriors. Stan looked around him and noticed it to be his own room in the mansion. Samantha smiled upon his awakening.
"Hey there sleepy head. I guess you couldn't take the news too well, right?" She asked, whispering.
"... About Karen and mom... guess not... Where are the others anyway?" Stan asked.
"They're all in the meeting hall. A.J. said that they'd all wait until you woke up for them to proceed." Simon replied.
"Let's not keep them waiting then." Stan decided, getting out of bed.
He walked out of his room, with his soul-warriors; Samantha; Simon, and their soul-warriors. They all headed towards the meeting hall.
Stan; Samantha; Simon and their soul-warriors approached the meeting hall's entrance. It was a big room, not exactly a hall though. Upon reaching the entrance, voices were heard from inside that were loud. Stan decided against eavesdropping. He just knocked and entered with the others. The league immediately stopped talking and turned towards the newcomers, but continued on when they saw who it was.
"So you've decided, eh?" A.J. asked.
"About what?" Luis asked. "About changing my surname from Tawan to Hamackif? Yeah. I was born Hamackif and I'm proud of it." He smiled.
Stan blinked, noticing that some of the members were smoking? Yet they didn't take the cigars out of their mouths and no smoke came out. He took his seat along with the rest.
"What's that you're having?" Stan asked.
A.J. inhaled once and took out his cigar. It was colored light green. A.J. carried it in his hand like a person would carry a cigarette or cigar.
"This? It's called Lista and it's not a cigar or cigarette. It comes in many fruit flavors and it's harmless to the body. You don't have to exhale and one lista would last a lifetime, meaning it won't finish, much less disappear slowly like a cigar or cigarette." He explained.
"It's actually good. Care to have one Stan?" Kamisai asked, with his lista in his fingers.
Stan blinked, "Probably some other time." He decided.
'We'll all here. Best get this over with.' A.J. thought.
He stood up from his seat.
"Members of Crescent League and Ladies and Gentlemen... I've been updated on current events since I and Stan were away with our copedam. You all also know of what journey we went through, since I told the story... Besides, I'd like to welcome all new members, those that Mark welcomed in and those that are here who aren't members. Whether you like it or not, you're officially all members of Crescent League now.
"I'd like to say that Mark has done an extraordinary job with leading the league through tough times. You're a good leader Mark Naneram, though different from me. Now, those of all who are known won't need to introduce themselves. However, those that are new are welcome to introduce themselves officially in the league. Being in Crescent League, one doesn't need a digivice of some sort, or a soul-warrior of any sort, unlike what some of you think.
"Now, with me and Stan back, I'd like to first ask Mark that he gives the leadership of Crescent League officially back to me then to the new introductions. What do you say Mark?" A.J. asked
Mark blushed and smiled. Amy put her hand on his hand, which was on his lap. A moment later and Mark stood up with A.J., with A.J. still standing up. A.J. knew that Mark was going to give a small pip talk and he didn't mind it.
"I'm still leader now... Well, I would like to now have the chance to say that it was a... Unique experience to be a leader for some time and I'm thankful to Allah in allowing me to experience it. Captain Young Owl, I salute you, for your survival on the journey as well as Stan's; Grace's, and all your copedam... Word of reminder though, don't forget those of us that have given ourselves mountain names like you; Luis; Tanis, and Kamisai.
"Captain Actonal, I'm glad to announce that I officially return the leadership of Crescent League back to you, Captain A.J. 'Young Owl' Actonal." Mark announced.
A.J. raised his eyebrow and every member cheered, stood up and started clapping, with the soul-warriors doing the same. Kamisai was the first to chant A.J.'s name and the rest followed. It was a joyful event. No one whistled and every female member, including soul-warrior, was wearing a headscarf. A.J. closed his eyes and a tear of happiness rolled down his eye. He wiped it away and opened his eyes again. He put away his lista and motioned for silence.
The league immediately quieted down and sat back in their seats. A.J. gently bit his lip thoughtfully, thinking of his next words.
"... Very well. Let the introductions begin. Those that are new would introduce their mountain names after their birth names. Anyone care to start?" A.J. asked.
Labton stood up and A.J. nodded, taking his seat.
"I've part of those that have joined Crescent League through Mark welcoming us officially through. My name is Labton Jallivic and Swift Heron is my chosen mountain name." Labton introduced himself.
A.J. nodded again and Labton sat down. Carol stood up.
"I'm Carol Jallivic: Labton's mother. However, I prefer my birth name over any mountain name." Carol introduced herself and sat down.
"Kate Kharny. I come from Japan in Dardom: the Destined Voyagers dimension. My mountain name is Neutron Flower." Kate introduced herself and sat down.
"Welcome all. I'm most glad to be part of some group, whatever kind it is. My name is Dan Shepnal and I'm proud to be part of Crescent League." Dan introduced himself and sat down.
"None of you might know this but me, A.J. and Al all went to the same school when we were all ten. My name is Otameno Spiritife and it's unique enough for me not to have a mountain name." Otameno introduced and sat down.
"Like what Otameno here said, I; A.J., and he are best of friends from back. Al Jarnlee." Al nodded and sat down.
Nervously Ann Markem stood up.
"To those who don't know, I'm Ann Markem: Stan's; Simon's, and Karen's mother." She introduced herself hastily and sat down.
"I'm Karen Markem: the youngest sibling of the Markems. Thanks for welcoming us and joining us to the league captain." Karen commented shyly and sat down.
A.J. smiled and nodded in response. Alex Sherwood was next. He stood up and saluted to A.J.
"Alex Sherwood at your service captain Young Owl. As for a mountain name: Patient Leaf would suit me just fine." Alex introduced and sat down.
A.J. laughed and the members one by one laughed, with Alex's introduction being the most entertaining. Alex just grunted, folded his arms and sat back more in his seat. A.J. was the first to control himself and slowly the laughing reduced. Shyly, April Caleswim was hesitant at first, but with an encouraging look from Ryan, she stood up.
"I'm April Caleswim and I'd do my best for Crescent League captain." April stated slowly and shyly.
After she sat down, Luis Hamackif stood up.
"I was once known as Luis Tawan, ex-leader of the recently destroyed Code Union. However, now I officially announce myself as who I am by right and birth, Luis Hamackif, in service for Crescent League. You could call me Dreamtruth as well." Luis smiled and sat down.
Next was Jennifer and she didn't like it. Mark sighed, knowing how she'd react and what she'd say. A.J. had a hunch at what she might say as well, but he knew how to deal with such members.
"Jennifer Naneram and I'm not pleased at all of being a Crescent League member! Don't try to convince about changing my mind about it!" She remarked, without standing.
"I'm Amber Motion, yesterday the gymnastic teacher of Crescent School and today a Crescent League member." Amber smiled and sat down.
A.J. stood up.
"Again I welcome all of you in Crescent League. I'd like to say from now, for all of us to consider each other family. To share with each other anything, whether positive or negative. Any and all of you have rights to have your own personal secrets and its up to you to reveal them to any of us, though none of us have the right to ask or try to know your secrets. Now, at first some of you new members might be embarrassed and shy, but don't worry, it would eventually vanish.
"Now for the rest who are senior members who have mountain names, it's you turn. I for one am Young Owl, because I'm young and I love owls. Don't worry about explaining your mountain names and they'd stay with you for life, if Allah wills it." A.J. smiled and sat down.
Surprisingly the senior members argued over who'd go first and Stan was above it all staying silent, but eventually deciding to announce his own mountain name. He stood up.
"The mountain name I decided upon at first was when I was with A.J. back on our recent journey. Soaring Claw welcomes you all and I'm happy to be back." He announced.
He sat down. The rest of the senior members moaned and stopped arguing. Mark Naneram stood up.
"I came up with this mountain name of mine from when I was a leader, from my first day. Cunning Wolf has officially entered." Mark smiled and bowed.
No one laughed, but respected Mark's mountain name in silence. Mark sat back down in his seat. Helen happily stood up, smiling.
"I've decided upon this mountain name of mine from the first day that we arrived in ICT. Feather Snow is happy to announce herself." Helen blushed and sat down.
"I came up with this mountain name from when I entered Crescent School. I don't know if I was the first but its Floating Flake." Amanda shrugged and sat down.
"Lava Smoke because nothing can stand in my way." Ryan announced and sat down.
Helen and Alan both burst out laughing and Luis chuckled, but the chosen mountain names continued on.
"I like the moon at night, in all its forms and that's why I chose Little Moon." Alan announced quietly and sat down.
"A rainbow in my opinion is the most beautiful natural thing and that's my mountain name: Rainbow." Grace announced and sat down.
"Simply Thundercloud." Kevin shrugged and sat down.
"I like to call myself Wolfstar sometimes." Simon announced and sat down.
"Red Flower, because I like red flowers like roses and poppies." Amy smiled and sat down.
"Well... Mine is somewhat an awkward mountain name. Pyro Moon it is." Brian announced and sat down.
"I like the color silver and I like bolts so I came up with Silver Bolt." Daniel announced and sat down.
"I like to be calm like the ocean can be sometimes, so I decided upon Calmwave." Samantha announced and sat down, being the last.
"Now since we're over with that, we have some news and would like you to explain some stuff." Mark stated.
"We know about Kevin. That's what we want you to explain." Rejelmon explained.
Helen sighed with Kevin and Grace.
"Another thing is that Ġaleb Nasem died in what appeared to be an assassination. He says aimer to you and that you can take his place as leader or president of ICT. At least that's what Mark told us." Amy explained.
"What?!" A.J. exclaimed in total shock.
Then suddenly, small pillars of light in their favorite colors, appeared floating in midair and when they vanished...
COMING UP!
"I officially announce that ICT has become Faith of Algeria!"
"What?! When the hell did you two return?!"
"Hold on!"
