Author's Notes: This is the episode before Storms of Myths. Interesting events happen in this episode and the new Emerald Mansion Mainframe appears, with biographies and personal info on Spirit Jerebis' characters, both sailors and other humans, and soul-warrior copedam. By the way, A.J. knows of some of the pass events, even when he wasn't around, because he's telekinetically connected to his soul-warriors.
Personally, this episode was fun and exciting for me to write. I had my share of laughter. Honestly, I think you readers would enjoy this episode, even if you didn't read the episodes before and don't understand it. There are some events that are mentioned here, which A.J. doesn't know of.

Spirit Jerebis: Zealon Feranin 1: Return of the Islamic Nation
Episode 14: "Time Determination"
Previously on Return of the Islamic Nation: The former president of ICT: Ġaleb Nasem, was assassinated. Crescent League met up in Meric Land as planned and was joyful to see A.J.; Stan; Grace and their copedam back. A tearful reunion occurred. It's a whole new start with a few loose ends. On with the conclusion.
The Reunited Crescent League
ONE WEEK LATER...
Current Date: 17th of October 2003
Current Location: Emerald Mansion, Meric Land
A week has passed since the reunion of Crescent League and a lot accrued since then. A.J. renamed his mansion from Actonal Mansion to Emerald Mansion, with emerald mansion being more suitable. The league formed a band, with Stan being the leader of the band. A.J. had a guitar, as did Stan. The band was formed three days after The Return, as Crescent League officially called it.
The band was made up of five members: two guitarists -Stan and A.J.-; a drummer -Kamisai-; a piano player -Simon-; and a violinist -Grace-. Through the week, the band trained on their musical instruments before actually playing together. Since Stan was the tone maker, he turned his tones into real music. He had already made up music for the Sailor Journey and the official theme of Crescent League. Also was A.J.'s poem: 'Facing the World Together'.
They made a few musical records of Sailor Journey and the Crescent League theme, but there was only one record for 'Facing the World Together'. In it, A.J. and Helen sung together. The entire league had tattoos on their right shoulder: the badge of Crescent League. For A.J., he wore a special leather coat with the badge of Crescent League on it. It was colored black, but at the rims of the coat, it was green.
Mark and Stan wore the same coat. For A.J., his crest and the words 'The Mystic Sailor' were carved on top of the crest in capital letters. That badge was beside the Crescent League badge. At the moment, Stan and his band, named 'The Defensive Crescents' were doing reversals on the songs, but not for A.J.'s love poem though. The band had their own special spacious musical room in Emerald Mansion.
The walls were enchanted with silence, so that the noise won't leave the room. In some other place in Emerald Mansion, Helen and her cheerleading squad were in the Squad Cudilas, with Amber training them. Helen named her squad 'Crescent Princesses'. Grace was part of The Defensive Crescents and Crescent Princesses, but Stan and Helen had an agreement and it was The Defensive Crescents to have Grace. For her part, Grace was totally fine with it.
Crescent Princesses and The Defensive Crescents had their own uniforms, different from their official league uniforms. While playing on his guitar, A.J.'s mind traced back in the week, full of memories...
A.J.'s Memory Lane
THE RETURN...
Current Date: 10th of October 2003
Current Location: Meeting Hall, Emerald Mansion, Meric Land
"What the heck were those that just appeared?!" Dan exclaimed.
"They just appeared for a moment and vanished. Really weird." A.J. muttered.
There was silence for a few moments and A.J. remembered some things.
"I'll be back in a moment." He informed, leaving the room.
"... I just remembered something. Elite Reptomon gives his greetings to A.J.; Stan; Grace and Otazoidmon, he said 'especially Otazoidmon'." Helen remembered.
Otazoidmon jerked his head up.
"Elite Reptomon? You know him?" He asked.
"We all do." Sigmalmon informed.
Otazoidmon blinked, "Was it when Pentamon and Star Magnamon first appeared?" He asked.
Simon nodded, "Sure was." He replied.
Otazoidmon raised his eyebrow, "So he woke up again! Good. No doubt he's hibernating now again."
"Yep, that he is." Mark nodded.
"Where did A.J. go?" Amanda asked.
Ememon grinned, "Oh, you'll all see in a few moments." He replied.
A.J. silently appeared at the entrance, staring at his league. He knocked and the entire league turned to him. He smiled.
"Follow me outside. There are some residents that I'd like you all to meet." He announced.
Helen raised her eyebrow. Otazoidmon was the first one out, followed by the rest. A.J. closed the meeting hall and quickly took the lead...
The Defensive Crescents
BAND REVERSAL...
Current Date: 17th of October 2003
Current Location: Musical Cudilas, Emerald Mansion, Meric Land
At remembering how Helen reacted when she found out that Sapmon were hers, it was a priceless image. A.J. was brought back to reality, when Stan stopped playing his guitar and put it away. Apparently he noticed that A.J. spaced off and so the tone of his guitar changed greatly. A.J. hadn't noticed and didn't see that Stan was aware that he spaced off.
"Time for a break. We'll go and check up on Crescent Princesses. I want to see just how good my sweetheart is." Stan grinned.
A.J. sighed and rolled his eyes. Simon and Grace exchanged a glance, giggling to each other. Just the day before, Grace told Simon her feelings for him and he told her that the feeling was mutual. A.J. was there, eavesdropping by accident on them. As far as Simon and Grace knew, they were the ones who knew of it. A.J. kept it a secret. That was one of the reasons why he convinced Stan to let Grace in the band.
That was also the main reason why Grace willingly joined it. A.J. noticed the glance between Simon and Grace, but ignored it, knowing how the two felt for each other. He put his guitar away and Kamisai handled his drums. Simon closed his piano up and Grace put her violin away. All five of them changed back into their normal clothes, getting out of their band uniforms. The five walked out of the room and headed towards the Squad Cudilas...
Crescent League
CHEERLEADING SQUAD REVERSAL...
Current Date: 17th of October 2003
Current Location: Squad Cudilas, Emerald Mansion, Meric Land
Grace enjoyed the thought of Simon watching her dance her squad's dance for the first time. She quickly took the lead and stopped the other four from entering first. She opened the door and stepped in, leaving it open for the other four to enter.
"Your band's reversal is over?" Amber asked.
Grace nodded.
"Good. Change into your squad's uniform and join us if you may." Amber requested.
"Right away coach." Grace obeyed.
A.J.; Stan; Kamisai, and Simon all snuck in. Surprisingly to them, the rest of Crescent League was there, including the entire soul-warrior copedam and indidam. The female soul-warrior copedam were members of the cheerleading squad and in their uniforms. Helen added them in, upon their request. The four boys took their seats, a little distance away from the others. Grace came out in her squad uniform and Simon smiled, blushing and lowering his head.
Grace noticed and blushed lightly too. A.J. shook his head at the two of them. The two were being too obvious. He would have to have a serious talk with Grace later on, even though he might expose his knowledge about it, but it didn't matter. He decided to take her away after the reversal. Helen took glances at A.J. and all the time A.J. noticed.
"Ms. Hamackif! Keep your concentration on the reversal." Amber requested, obviously noticing.
"Yes coach." Helen nodded, smiling.
She took one last glance at A.J. for the moment and winked. A.J. saw it and coughed gently, lowering his head. Fortunately, Amber didn't notice it.
"O.K. Pianist, in 5..." Amber started.
A.J. jerked his head up and saw Kevin at the piano in one of the cudilas' corners.
"... 1, 2... 1, 2, 3!" Amber nodded.
Kevin started to play and he was obviously better than Simon in it.
"Steady yourselves girls." Amber instructed.
The boys and male soul-warrior copedam all raised their eyebrows, or those who could at least. Helen glanced at A.J. and gave him the signal. She blew her lips silently and through that A.J. knew that they would start dance like they were in a competition. A.J. sat up straight and folded his arms. Moments before they started, Helen's mind traced back into her memories. She was aware when to start and to do the moves.
She knew A.J. was watching and she didn't mind if she embarrassed herself, because she knew how A.J. would react if she did a mistake. It would then be obvious that she was spaced out...
Helen's Memory Lane
THE RETURN...
Current Date: 10th of October 2003
Current Location: Helen's Cudilas, Emerald Mansion, Meric Land
Helen just had met Sapmon and was overjoyed to meet them. A few hours had passed since she had met them and she was alone in her room. Samantha had also just met her Shetamon.
"You used me." A voice stated.
Helen jerked up, off of her bed. The light in the room went deeply dim. A transparent figure appeared and Helen stared at it wide-eyed. She couldn't believe her eyes, as she recognized the figure.
"All that time that I was with you, you used me. Now you're using A.J.!" The figure hissed.
Helen shook her head, "What?! But you're dead! I'm not using A.J.!" She growled.
"But you were using me ahe?" The figure asked.
"What are you doing Carl?" Helen asked, narrowing her eyes.
"You're avoiding my question." Carl stated.
"So what? How could you be here?" Helen asked
Carl grinned, "That's absolutely none of your concern girl! Mark my words! If you truly are in love with A.J., you better not leave with him to the U.S. If you do, you'll regret it, I assure you. If not then, then some time soon."
"Don't you dare hurt him!" Helen growled.
Carl just waved and vanished...
Crescent League
CHEERLEADING SQUAD REVERSAL...
Current Date: 17th of October 2003
Current Location: Squad Cudilas, Emerald Mansion, Meric Land
On remembering that event, Helen stopped her dancing with a thoughtful and scared face. No harm has come to A.J. yet, but Helen was sure it would be soon. She knew Carl was serious. A.J. was unable to convince Amanda in joining Crescent Princesses. Amanda was there watching, interested but not to the degree in joining. Amber noticed Helen stopping, but continued on with the others. A.J. also noticed Helen stop.
Without saying a word, Helen walked out of the Squad Cudilas with everyone staring at her. Amber continued on with the reversal and Helen's friends were worried for her. A.J. didn't waste a second in following her...
First Crescent League Assault
BETRAYALS...
Current Date: 10th of October 2003
Current Location: Beverly Hills, California
The entire Crescent League exited the portal, entering Beverly Hills, just outside Crescent School. Half an hour before, A.J. organized an offensive against Cobra Terrorists in Beverly Hills. The idea was to force the Cobra Terrorists to withdraw from Crescent School and Beverly Hills, if not to totally defeat them. Every member was in his or her combat uniform, some in their mystic uniforms.
The plan was for Crescent School to be laid under siege temporarily by Crescent League. A.J. had a strike force ready to enter, with Dan Shepnal; Vi Vampmon, and Tanis Glide as the only members. A.J. had found out from his brother that the police dealt with Cobra Terrorists for only a day, before giving up and retreating. From what A.J. knew, the police couldn't have retreated without heavy casualties and with Cobra Terrorists having far superior weapons and abundant ammo.
From since Crescent League left the country, the school had been under control by Cobra Terrorists. A.J. was determined to come out on top and with zero casualties. With A.J.'s signal, Dan; Vi Vampmon, and Tanis barged into the school. Instantly, bullets were fired at the three, Dan; Vi Vampmon and Tanis were three amongst those who didn't have mystic uniforms.
Hastily, the three took cover.
"Should we act now?" Vi Vampmon whispered.
Dan blinked, confused for a moment. Only for a moment though, before understanding what Vi Vampmon meant. He stared at Tanis and Tanis stared back. Both grinned.
"Soon." Dan replied, whispering.
Vi Vampmon nodded. As one, both Tanis and Dan got out of cover and threw some smoke grenades into the hall, taking cover later. Coughing was heard and Dan and Tanis poked their heads out. Both put on their smoke masks and readied themselves for any close combat. They slowly approached the smoke, seeing nothing. Codelimin weren't affected by such weapons, especially trained copedam.
"They're taking too long. I'm going in. Are you with me Selfmon?" Kate asked.
"Always." Selfmon replied.
Kate nodded and left her position. Selfmon followed. They hurried and hid by sides at the entrance. A.J. blinked.
"Kate! Get back to your position!" He ordered.
Kate didn't even look back. She poked her head inside and nodded to Selfmon. The two rushed in.
"Kate!" A.J. yelled, running after her.
"Ememon; Otazoidmon, you two are with me. Stan, cover me. Mark your in charge here. Don't charge in unless I give the signal!" A.J. explained.
Ememon and Otazoidmon rushed after him and Stan followed with Greemon. Mark nodded and stayed back with the rest of the league. A.J. didn't hesitate and just rushed into the school, his two soul-warrior copedam followed, along with Stan and Greemon. A.J. stopped at the site of two dead codoyle members. He sighed and shook his head. Right away, he knew that it was Dan's and Tanis' work.
The scent of smoke was still hanging in the air, not yet totally cleared up. Kate was no where in site, much less Selfmon. Ememon; Otazoidmon; Stan, and Greemon caught up with him.
"Dan and Tanis." Stan sighed.
"No sign of Kate." Greemon muttered.
"Or Selfmon." Ememon added.
Just then, they heard bullets being fired. They all turned their heads towards the noise and rushed deeper into the school as a group. A.J. was about to step into a hallway, but quickly stopped and hid behind the wall. Ememon and Otazoidmon took his side. Stan and Greemon rushed to the other side. A.J. and Stan poked their heads out and A.J.'s eyes widened.
Kate was crawling on the floor, heading towards him, obviously injured. But Kate didn't see A.J. Jereim came out and Kate stopped, sensing him. She lowered her head and closed her eyes.
"I'm sorry." She whispered.
The whisper was too low for anyone to hear, but being once an owl before, A.J. heard quite clearly and understood it. Jereim aimed his pistol at her, at the back of her head. Selfmon was sent flying out of the room and in midair was vaporized, the data particles were absorbed. A.J. wasn't sure from whom. With Selfmon's murder, Jereim fired. The bullet went into Kate's head, from the back. She closed her eyes and her head fell, dead.
A.J.'s blood boiled and his eyes turned into green fire. Stan sighed and closed his eyes. He sensed A.J.'s anger and knew only A.J.'s himself could stop A.J. If it was god's will.
"Tanis Glide." A.J. whispered.
He sent the owl into the hallway, catching everyone's attention, forcing the rest of the codoyles out. It broke through a window and flew up into the air outside, sending out the signal for the rest of the league to charge in. A.J.'s blade glowed green ownalis. He charged out in a roar and Jereim looked up and gasped. He quickly aimed his pistol, trembling. With swiftness and speed, faster than the eye could blink, A.J. sliced his blade through the pistol.
The blade sliced through the pistol so swift and fast that the cut was smooth. Both halves of the pistol fell, one of them from Jereim's hand. A.J. jumped back slightly and held his blade straight, and right then and there, it transformed. The handle turned elegantly black, with the divine crest of myths outlined on it in green. Two dark green feathers stuck outwards, making the holder of the sword hold it firmer.
The blade itself turned glittering green, made of cut and polished pure green emerald. On one side were spikes, colored black; fatally sharp, with it's direction towards the hand. On the other side were cut blue sapphire, polished and pure, with their direction outwards, away from the handle. The blade was straight and not curved. The spikes were small but still apparent.
A.J. quickly used his transformed sword and went for a stab at Jereim's heart. Fate intervened and Frisnee went into the sword's path, stabbing through her heart. A.J. approached her, glaring her in the eyes, with her eyes in shock and terror.
"Serves you right bitch. For Helen!" A.J. hissed, stabbing his sword deeper into Frisnee.
She gasped and her blood changed the color of her clothes.
'One for one. Hard justice.' Stan thought.
Jeramel witnessed it and blinked in terror, remembering back during the battle that Jereiph was killed in. He remembered the flare in Nasser's eyes and it's distant fire. A.J.'s own flare and fire reminded Jeramel of Nasser, making him become deeply suspicious. Frisnee's eyes closed and her head fell. A.J. withdrew his sword from her body and caught it, lying it down gently beside Kate's corpse.
With a glitter in his eyes and hatred in his voice, A.J. glared at Jereim and pointed his new sword at Jereim's neck, holding the sword sideways. Watermon and Pentamon rushed out, along with the rest of the main codoyles of Cobra Terrorists. Steve was holding Tanis, with a pistol to his head and Harold was holding Dan, with a pistol to his neck. Tanis and Dan glanced at Kate and shook their heads. Goring carried out the unconscious Vi Vampmon.
A.J. was ready for Watermon and Pentamon.
"Electric Water!" Watermon yelled.
"Penta Wing!" Pentamon yelled.
A.J. trusted Stan and swiftly avoided Electric Water. Otazoidmon jumped out of his hiding and absorbed the electricity, harmless to him. Stan jumped out and slashed his ax through Penta Wing, vaporizing it. Steve's eyes widened.
"What?! When the hell did you two return?!" He exclaimed.
Greemon and Ememon made their appearance then and from the other side, some of Crescent League appeared, with Mark and Rejmon in the lead. From behind, the rest of Crescent League appeared with Amanda and her Wizardmon in the lead. Unnoticed by A.J., Helen became swiftly and deeply worried. She was hesitant to aid her comrades and had her own soul-warriors stand down for the moment.
Without further notice, A.J. hooted, the loudest he could and a green pillar of light was launched from his univice. Next were Stan and a silver pillar with a cry of a panther. Both Ememon and Greemon turned transparent and green engulfed Ememon, as silver engulfed Greemon.
"EMEMON CREVOLVE..."
"... PRIMON!"
"GREEMON CREVOLVE..."
"... GRASLMON!
Steve grinned, showing his digivice, one of the ancient and legendary Starvices. It was totally white in color. A beam of white water was released from the starvice and Watermon turned transparent, with the white beam engulfing Watermon.
"WATERMON CREVOLVE..."
"... WINTMON!"
Primon; Otazoidmon, and Graslmon all sensed Wintmon's danger, as did Stan and A.J. Within a heart beat, Primon; Graslmon, and Otazoidmon joined together and attacked together against Wintmon. Wintmon, all alone, took the challenge and charged the three copedam in return. With a warcry, A.J. slashed his new sword against the floor and charged against Pentamon, along with Stan.
Behind the codoyles, Lance carefully snuck out and took watch, while urging the rest of the hostages to hurry. Mark and the sailors of Crescent League in the back allowed the hostages passage without hesitance. Trish didn't join in the running away but charged in and rushed towards Helen. She passed by A.J., with A.J. noticing and pausing for a moment. It was a vital move, as he was blasted to his back by Pentamon.
Goring carried a missile launcher and Jolin loaded it, after dropping Vi Vampmon. He aimed it at towards A.J. and his side of the league. Amanda went for a punch and it knocked Trish down, before she got too close to Helen. Amanda turned to Helen.
"What's the matter with you?" Amanda asked.
Helen instantly shook her head. Amanda sighed and took her bow and an arrow out. She knelt down in front of Helen and took careful aim. Noticing Amanda preparing to fire, Goring let loose the missile and it roared towards A.J. and his league. Sensing it coming, A.J. jumped to his feet and sliced through the missile, with it exploding in his face. Helen and the rest of the league all gasped. A.J. was blown into the air.
With intense skill and discipline though, he landed on his feet, with them knelt on the ground, a few inches beside Amanda. A.J. sighed. Amanda raised her eyebrow and took a quick glance at A.J.
"Are you alright?" Amanda asked.
A.J. nodded, "A little shaken, but just fine." He replied.
Dan elbowed Harold in the chest, forcing Harold to let go of him. Dan then flipped Harold around, onto his back. Tanis followed suit, taking Steve out just as fast. In an instant, Wintmon was in front of Tanis, glaring at him. Tanis gulped and A.J. looked towards Graslmon; Primon, and Otazoidmon. Only Otazoidmon was the one left standing amongst the three. Dan rushed over to his unconscious soul-warrior.
Stan and Pentamon were still at it. Jolin quickly loaded another missile in the missile launcher and Goring aimed. A.J. growled and stood up straight on his feet, his univice glittered; imitated noises and glowed. Otazoidmon went transparent and a green transparent charge left A.J.'s univice. Otazoidmon was engulfed by green light, from out of no where and the green transparent charge collided into him.
"OTAZOIDMON CHARGE!"
"... MAGNA OTAMON! Hero of Miracles."
The league was in awe at the sudden appearance of Magna Otamon. Wintmon and Pentamon turned to glance at him and the fighting froze for a moment, all eyes on Magna Otamon. Taking the chance, Magna Otamon charged Goring and Jolin. Goring was frozen with fear and he was trembling, unable to launch the missile. Magna Otamon kicked the launcher out of his grip, and it fell to the ground.
A swift kick and head-butt, Goring and Jolin were both knocked unconscious. Magna Otamon turned his attention to Wintmon and Wintmon charged.
"Star Collision!" Magna Otamon yelled.
The attack collided with the advancing Wintmon and blew him back into the wall, knocking him unconscious and down to Tearmon. Magna Otamon took a glance around and the rest of the conscious codoyles raised their arms in surrender...
A few hours later and Cobra Terrorists were all on their way towards ICT, to the dungeon prison in Samij Muzo. A group from Crescent League was there to guard the codoyles, including Dan; Vi Vampmon, and Tanis. Frisnee's corpse was hauled in it, to Twinkle Graveyard. Kate's body was buried in Meric Land, being the first to be buried there.
A.J.; his soul-warrior copedam and some of his sailors were left in the school. Lance and Laura approached them. A.J. was staring at his new sword.
"This school is going to be sold in the next few days and I'm going to my land close in the northeast. There I'll establish Crescenton and the new Crescent School and hospital. Thanks for coming when you did Mr. Actonal." Lance thanked.
"Really. We wouldn't have survived for much longer if it wasn't for your league." Laura agreed.
"It's a sad thing really. I suppose you two neither expected Trish to side with Cobra Terrorists." Amanda commented.
Lance shook his head, "We didn't know until she actually went for an attack." He informed.
"Crescent League is welcome anytime in Crescenton, right Lance?" Laura asked.
Lance nodded, "Indeed they are." He replied.
"Are you O.K.? You've been silent and inactive for the whole assault." Amanda whispered.
Helen glanced at her and looked away, ignoring her. Amanda sighed.
"Are you going to name it?" Otazoidmon asked.
"... I already decided on Emeraldsnow. Also, I've thought of a membership oath for Crescent League...
Awaken oh Sailor, servant of Allah
The Call has been made
Fear nothing
Except the one and only
Trust the one and only
I'll obey Allah
The path of Islam is my choice
And I shall not forsake it
For I'm a Sailor of the God...
"Once back in Meric Land, I'll have all of the members of Crescent League say it." A.J. decided.
Presidency Notification
AUTONOMOUS ELECTION...
Current Date: 11th of October 2003
Current Location: Sewit: Pre-Algiers, ICT
"I can't believe I'm going through with this." A.J. muttered.
"You'll be fine brother." Kamisai smiled.
A.J. stopped. Kamisai continued on until he noticed that he was walking alone. He stopped and turned back to his younger brother.
"Coming?" Kamisai asked.
"Go on ahead. I'll be coming in awhile." A.J. replied.
Kamisai raised his eyebrow, "Are you sure about that?" He asked.
A.J. grinned, "Totally. Besides, an official public event would happen and I'll have to start it." He smiled.
"Official public event?" Kamisai asked.
"You'll find out when the time's right." A.J. replied.
"See you there then. Remia sig." Kamisai saluted, Crescent League style.
A.J. nodded and saluted in return. Kamisai turned around and continued on his own. A.J. turned his head to the right, staring into the office of the president's room. He blinked and walked into the room, with no one in site and closed the door behind him. He went behind the desk and put the file he was holding down onto the desk. It was a list of the members of Crescent League, with their soul-warriors. At the last page was the membership oath.
A.J. opened the top left drawer of the desk and saw a closed file in it. The title was 'The Secret Sailor'. Interested, A.J. took it out and opened it, starting to read it. He forced himself to finish it, before sighing. He closed the file and put it on the desk.
"Ġaleb? The president of ICT? He knew about us and secretly became a sailor of Crescent League... He told nobody of this file and nobody of his allegiance to Crescent League. I wonder when this happened; when he decided and did become a sailor of Crescent League... This file should be safe in Emerald Mansion Library. I need to find out where Ġaleb's corpse is, to bring it to Meric Land. He was a sailor of Crescent League after all.
"It would only be appropriate for him to be buried there." A.J. whispered, sighing.
He put his hands on the desk and leaned on it. His sight glanced towards the members' list and he grabbed it, along with Ġaleb's file. He walked to the door and glanced back into it and smiled for a moment. He nodded and walked out, closing the door behind him.
'Just one more thing for me to do.' A.J. thought.
He walked towards the stage outside, ready and prepared, knowing what to do and say. The salute of Crescent League was made up by A.J. himself. He taught the rest of the league it, the day before in Emerald Mansion, before they assaulted Cobra Terrorists. The salute is done with a clenched fist and the thumb in the middle of the clenched fist. It is done with the right hand and a gentle slap onto the chest, where the heart is, is the salute...
Outside, most of Sewit's population attended. For those who weren't, the event was covered on national television with the Algerian media there. A loud eruption of cheering occurred when A.J. appeared. A.J. took to the stage and he was high enough for it. They were a few passionate laughs and giggles among the crowd because of A.J.'s height. A.J. blinked and used an ability of his and grew taller, for everyone to see him, average adult height.
Gasps went out through the crowd. Lots of microphones were on the podium and to his right was the prime minister of Algeria, with lots of microphones on his podium also. Since the official and common language was Arabic, both had to speak in Arabic. A.J. sighted his league amongst the crowd, with their soul-warriors. A.J.'s soul-warriors were there as well. The flying copedam soul-warriors took to the air, for better sight.
It comforted A.J. to see them there, but he noticed that Helen wasn't optimistic and was looking away. Amanda was talking to her and Helen was shaking her head.
'What's that all about?' A.J. thought.
'... Never mind. I have bigger fish to fry.' He thought.
When both spoke, they spoke in Arabic, though it's written here in English.
"People of Algeria!" The prime minister started. "Yesterday we lost our president in a cowardly suicide bombing. The new president that would take over would have to find the activists behind it. I speak for the rest of my fellow ministers and government of Algeria when I say, a better president couldn't have been chosen." The prime minister stared at A.J.
"I know I'll also be speaking on behalf of the people of Algeria when I said that. Known for his reputation and personality, the people and government have both spoken when they found out of Ġaleb's choice, may Allah rest his soul... There are no arguments or disagreements when A.J. was autonomously elected... I firmly announce that A.J. isn't going to have a role of president but of something bigger.
"Also known for his firm devotion to Islam and to be the first one since centuries after the last, I announce A.J. the new Caliph of Algeria and... The Islamic Nation." The prime minister announced.
A.J. almost fainted, but held himself firm and was speechless in shock, staring at the prime minister. Total silence was in the crowd and all over Algeria. Even Crescent League was caught off guard, catching their attention, turning towards the podiums. Amanda and Helen had stopped talking and were staring at the podiums. The soul-warriors knew what it meant and were equally in shock. The prime minister smiled.
"A.J. will be facing a huge responsibility on his back, being the Caliph. Other Islamic countries would definitely reject this and maybe even Islamic Scholars. A.J. would have to face and by this, Algeria has gained more enemies than before. However, A.J. would have to face this alone..." The prime minister paused.
Instantly murmurs went amongst the crowd, whispering about it. Crescent League was silent though, still in shock. A.J. had already recovered from it quickly and had Ġaleb's file under the membership list. A.J. realized something and smiled merrily. He wanted to say something, but he would let the prime minister finish first. He found such a responsibility serious, yet he knew that he would be amused. He understood what the prime minister meant.
"The rest of the government officials and I have decided to resign after this announcement. I'm no longer the prime minister just... a slave of Allah and always will be." The prime minister finished.
Silence still roamed in the crowd, but turned their attention towards the smiling A.J. He was shaking his head.
"By Allah, you're wrong sir Prime Minister." A.J. spoke. "Firstly, I accept this position with great honor and would take it as best as Allah allows me and see fit. Secondly, you're wrong about me having to face it alone... Crescent League is with me and I think that the Algerian people are as well. Thirdly, I refuse your resignation and the resignation of the government officials." He paused...
... And a loud thunderous applause and cheer went up. Crescent League and the soul-warriors joined them. A.J. mentally nodded; he was right about Crescent League and the Algerian people supporting him. The prime minister sighed and closed his eyes.
"It is too early for your resignation. I'll need to be brought up to date with the current status of Algeria for one thing and for another, you were the prime minister during Ġaleb's time and he spoke most pleasantly of you. I'd choose no other prime minister to take the position and no other government official to take the position of those that are currently in their positions. I'm sorry, but all government resignation is rejected." A.J. firmly informed.
A.J. noticed a small smile at the corner of the prime minister's lips. He nodded and continued on, turning to the crowd.
"As for my first job, I'll announce all the members of Crescent League and for them to come up and give their signatures, including their soul-warriors. After that, they'll have to say the membership oath and that would be it. First off is... me." A.J. chuckled.
He nodded, "Very well. In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful... Awake o sailor, servant of Allah, the call has been made. Fear nothing, except the one and only. Trust the one and only, I'll obey Allah. The path of Islam is my choice, and I shall not forsake it. For I'm a sailor of the god..." He announced
A loud applause was heard and A.J. smiled, with his head lowered.
"... Before I continue on, I'd like to mention something." He informed.
Silence instantly roamed the crowd. A.J. sighed.
"I officially announce that ICT has become Faith of Algeria!" He announced, yelling in Arabic.
The prime minister stared at A.J. and smiled. The crowd stayed quiet, but was content in themselves. A.J. nodded, smiling.
"Next on the membership is... my soul-warrior Zonemon." A.J. continued on.
Zonemon rushed through the crowd, with the crowd giving him space. He reached A.J.'s podium and A.J. showed him the oath. He said the oath and A.J. nodded, checking him. He gave Zonemon the pen and Zonemon signed his name. A.J. continued on with the soul-warriors and sailors. Every time, the name mentioned came up and A.J. showed them the oath and they said it, then signed beside their name.
With Stan and Mark, A.J. mentioned them as being co-leaders of Crescent League. With Greemon and Ememon, A.J. mentioned Greemon as the leader of Crescent Council, which was only for the soul-warriors and cooperated with Crescent League. Of course the young women of Crescent League were all wearing Islamic clothing, which consisted of a headcover, but not only a headcover. Ememon was mentioned as the co-leader of Crescent Council.
A.J. explained the Crescent League salute publicly, but mentioned that it was only for Crescent League. With Crescent League also came the introduction of the sub-groups Crescent Youth and Crescent Princesses, the cheerleading squad of Crescent League. Crescent League was the superior and Crescent Council; Crescent Youth and Crescent Princesses were all lower than Crescent League.
With Helen, A.J. mentioned her as the founder and captain of Crescent Princesses. Helen wasn't too optimistic about it and it was quiet obvious for those who saw it. A.J. talked with her for a moment and she was quiet, letting A.J. talk, but not ignoring her. Eventually she nodded and got down from the podium. A.J. explained that Crescent Youth was for the youngest of the Crescent League sailors.
It was their job to look out for the rest of the league and their job was to check up on the rest of the league constantly, also to sign up with them, if new members wanted to join Crescent League. Of course, A.J. would have to approve the new members first and it would go through him. With Amber, A.J. mentioned her as being the coach for Crescent Princesses.
Every time a member of Crescent Princesses was mentioned, A.J. mentioned that they were a member of Crescent Princesses. Most of Crescent League was all excited and when Amanda was called, A.J. paused, knowing that she didn't want to join Crescent Princesses. He shrugged and let her officially join Crescent League for a second time. She was so delighted and excited about it.
Not only that, but A.J. had all the official uniforms of the league ready from before. Kamisai was already wearing one from before, but other than Kamisai, there was only A.J. With each name mentioned, A.J. gave them their uniform. It took awhile, but every member was signed up; sworn in and given their uniforms. With that business over, A.J. went to the next subject.
He explained the assault against Cobra Terrorists the day before and how it went down. He mentioned the deaths of Kate Kharny and Selfmon, which followed with a moment of silence. He also mentioned the death of Frisnee Salunaic. Throughout his speech, A.J. never mentioned Meric Land, as he wanted it to be as secret as possible. Last was A.J.'s idea for Crescent League to have their own hometown in Faith of Algeria.
A.J. explained that it would be called Figos Town, in Jerebi State, near Trezil Oasis. With that done, A.J. made his farewell and walked away... Crescent League met up in Emerald Mansion, Meric Land. A.J. wasn't there though, as he discovered Tosha's dead body and she was buried near Kate's...

"Helen and Samantha haven't returned A.J. and it's been 3 hours since they should have." Sapmon complained.
A.J. jerked up his head, "What? Helen and Samantha are alone by themselves?" He asked.
Lady Earthmon nodded, "I'm afraid so."
A.J. growled, "Soul-warriors should stick with their sailors at all times!" He stated.
"Helen and Samantha requested that we shouldn't follow them." Ranbimon explained.
"Yeah and to leave them alone." Sapphiredarl agreed.
A.J. sighed and barged out of his cudilas. He marched towards the control cudilas in Emerald Mansion and both Helen's and Samantha's soul-warriors followed him. Otazoidmon was in the Control Cudilas, when A.J. and Helen's soul-warriors and Samantha's soul-warriors, all walked in. A.J. went straight over to the main monitor, next to Otazoidmon.
"Where are Helen and Samantha?" A.J. asked.
"I've been watching them and it isn't good." Otazoidmon replied.
"Just point to me to the right screen." A.J. requested.
Otazoidmon pointed and A.J. turned his head towards it. His eyes narrowed in disappointment and he shook his head.
"Is that where I think it is?" A.J. asked.
Otazoidmon nodded, "Sure is. Shifting Caverns on Sewiril Range." He replied.
"At least they're still on Feranin Continent, right?" Lady Earthmon asked.
A.J. nodded, "That's correct."
"... Aren't you the youngest caliph ever?" Otazoidmon asked suddenly.
A.J. blinked and turned his attention to Otazoidmon. He considered it for a moment and nodded.
"That's true. I'm 16 and the youngest caliph. It isn't right, but I can take the responsibility." He assured.
"Your age would be the main reason why countries that weren't your enemies, now are your enemies." Ranbimon reasoned.
"Correction, is the main reason. However, sometimes mentality; emotionally and spiritually discipline are ahead of age; I guess I'm quite ready for the responsibility, because of that." A.J. explained.
"Why is Shifting Caverns called Shifting Caverns?" Sapmon asked.
A.J. turned to her. His eyes widened and he turned his attention back to Otazoidmon.
"Keep an eye on them and we'll keep in touch. I'm going after them." He informed.
A.J. hurried out of the room, leaving the soul-warriors there.
"He didn't answer my question." Sapmon whined.
"Because Meric Land is magical and wondrous in itself. This isn't like any other dimension. Shifting Caverns is called that because, believe it or not, anyone who enters it would be trapped in time: whether past; future or present of any other dimension, except that of Meric Land. It's extremely hard to get out of and honestly, nobody has entered it." Otazoidmon explained.
"Then how is it known?" Ranbimon asked.
"A test." Otazoidmon replied. "A.J. threw a pillow in there and I tracked it through time from here, until at some point it couldn't take all the time traveling and was vaporized." He replied.
"Oh no." Lady Earthmon gasped.
"That's true I'm afraid. That's why A.J. isn't wasting any time." Otazoidmon nodded.
A.J. rushed out of Emerald Mansion, heading towards Sewiril Range. He didn't need anything and had all that he needed.
"Archive Twinkler!" A.J. yelled.
His mystic suit covered his whole body completely and he flew into the air, in the direction of the mountain range...

"I don't think this is a good idea Helen." Samantha informed.
Helen stopped in her tracks and turned around to face Samantha, who was still standing at the entrance.
"Now come on. We wanted an adventure and this is quite an appropriate one." She reminded.
"Not having our soul-warriors coming is one thing, but this?" Samantha asked, looking around in the cavern.
"I've read that these caverns are called Shifting Caverns. Supposedly, they'll bring you to the past; future or even present of any dimension, except this dimension." Helen explained.
Samantha's eyes widened, "Have you gone nuts dear Helen?! I'm not going to take any part in this." She decided.
Helen shrugged, "Fine. I'll continue on my own." She decided.
"But you don't know how far in the past or future it would take you." Samantha stated.
"I don't know and I don't care." Helen remarked.
Samantha sighed, "I'll be waiting here at the entrance. I hope you'll be able to come back." She worried.
Helen just took a glance back at Samantha and continued on deeper into the caverns. Before Samantha knew it, Helen was out of sight. She lowered her head and sat down on a rock. Moments later A.J. landed outside and walked in. He had his face appear. Samantha heard his footsteps and turned her head towards him. She sighed.
"Helen went in." She informed.
A.J. nodded, "Wait here. I'll go get her and come back in no time." He smiled.
Samantha nodded and A.J. rushed into the caverns...

Helen blinked, looking around her. Her feelings steadily increased in fear and terror. She was on some hard solid lava and all around her was lava flows, with the sky... well, there was barely a sky to speak off. Helen didn't need to guess how far back in time she went; she already knew. She knew she was at the beginning when the Earth was just starting to solidify.
"What did I get myself into?" She asked, whispering.
'I'm going to die out here.' She thought.
Slowly, the solid crust of land that she was on, started to break off. Helen moaned.
"When I thought it couldn't get worse." She muttered.
The piece of crust that she was on broke off from the rest of the land and drifted off through the lava.
'How am I able to breathe?' Helen thought.
Something flashed into appearance onto the land and A.J. appeared. He saw Helen being drifted off through the lava. He shook his head and sighed. Helen saw A.J. in the distance and she felt hopeful. The crust started melting by the lava and Helen sobbed, staring at A.J., A.J. noticed the danger. He quickly flew into the...? Air? Space maybe and towards Helen. Just as the lava touch Helen's feet, A.J. grabbed onto her, into space. Helen smiled at A.J.
A.J. smiled back and Helen held onto A.J., hugging him.
"Your mystic suit. At times like these, it's useful." A.J. whispered.
Helen gently nodded, "Archive Beauty." She whispered.
Beauty: Helen's mystic suit, instantly covered her whole body, except her face. It was blue and feminine, Helen's size, with the right adjustments and additions for Helen.
"Thank you for coming for me... and saving me." Helen whispered.
"That's... like twice now? I lost count. Anyway, no problem. Just promise me one thing." A.J. requested.
Helen activated Beauty's jet and she let go of A.J. She stared at him in the eyes.
"What?" She asked.
"Don't come in Shifting Caverns again." A.J. requested.
Helen sighed, "... After this, I'm not going to. I promise Amarito." She smiled.
Both were hovering in space.
"How are we going to get out now?" Helen asked.
A.J. shrugged, "Simple. Just think of the entrance of Shifting Caverns and you'd be faded there." He replied.
"To the entrance?" Helen asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Samantha is waiting for us." A.J. reminded.
"Of course." Helen nodded.
"Want to do it together?" A.J. asked.
"I'd prefer it." Helen replied.
"Hold on!" A.J. informed.
A.J. took her hand and closed his eyes, thinking of the entrance of Shifting Caverns. Helen sighed and closed her eyes, tightening her grip on A.J.'s hand...

In a moment, A.J. and Helen flashed at the entrance to Shifting Caverns. Helen looked around her and deeply sighed.
"What an experience." She whispered.
Samantha came over to them, smiling.
"You two are back. I thought I won't see you again Helen." Samantha sighed.
"You won't get rid of me that easily sister." Helen smiled.
"Shall we head back ladies?" A.J. asked.
Both Helen and Samantha nodded...

A MOMENT OF TRUTH...
Current Date: 17th of October 2003
Current Location: Rose Plains, Meric Land
Those precious memories passed through A.J. mind, as he rushed after Helen. He remembered he needed to have a talk with Grace, after speaking with Helen. Helen stopped and knelt down on her knees, in her cheerleading squad uniform, on Eternalrose Fields. She started sobbing. A.J. stopped and stared at Helen from behind for a moment. He lowered his head and silently approached Helen from behind.
"Heba?" A.J. asked.
Helen giggled, through her sobbing, knowing it was A.J. She didn't turn her head. A.J. understood and took a step next to her. His eyes widened, as pain shot through his foot. He realized what he stopped on and sighed. He raised his injured foot into the air and hopped on his left leg to Helen, letting himself collapse in front of her. Helen blinked and stopped sobbing.
"Ammaar?" She asked.
A.J. smiled, "Kind of ironic that I call you Heba and you call me Ammaar for the first time for both of us, and I step on an Infinitybite." He laughed.
Helen's face turned pale. She rushed to A.J.'s side and held onto him.
"Before I black out, I just wanted to know what disturbed you." A.J. requested.
Helen positioned A.J. onto her, with his head on her lap and her sitting down.
"You mean what disturbed me, which made me leave the reversal?" Helen asked.
A.J. nodded. Helen's eyes narrowed in concern and fear.
"I saw Carl's ghost." She whispered.
"... When?" A.J. asked, fighting off the drowsy feeling.
"A week ago. On the 10th of this month. I was in my room and it was some time before our assault against Code Terrorists." Helen replied.
"And?" A.J. asked.
Helen sighed and closed her eyes.
"I was using him... Now I'm using you. I'm not the kind of girl you think I am Ammaar." She replied.
"What about Carl?" A.J. asked, ignoring Helen's statement.
"I'm not quite sure, but I think he wanted to hurt you somehow." Helen replied.
"... This has nothing to do with Carl. I wasn't paying attention to where my foot was and it landed on an Infinitybite." A.J. giggled.
"Don't you care?" Helen asked.
"Care?" A.J. asked.
"That I... I'm using you?" Helen asked.
A.J. laughed, "Come on Heba! So what? You might have at first, but I don't think so now... So that's what's been bothering you for this long! After all we've been through, I think that you have started to love me some time during this week, if not before. I'll be seeing you dear Heba." He smiled.
A.J.'s eyes closed and he went unconscious. Helen's eyes watered and tears slowly fell down her eyes.
"Amarito." She whispered...
COMING UP...
"Finally."
"You go in Mark."
"It's done."

Biography of Mystic Sailor:
Being a leader for anything isn't an easy thing. Taking responsibility of leadership is a tremendous task and so the personality and characteristics of A.J. Actonal proves correct. He's a reliable and brilliant leader. Cares for his members and later on people deeply. Throughout his life, A.J. experienced stuff only a sailor and a leader would experience.
So, I, Ammaar Al-Jallad, have decided to actually build and have personalities for my various characters. Of course, A.J. Actonal's character is based on me so it's only natural to start with him. The Mystic Sailor is titled after his divine crest, the crest of myths. Like any other human being, A.J. does make mistakes and failures. Not like everyone though, A.J. is unique in his own way. Myths stands for specialty, but since there already is such a crest, it stands for uniqueness.
Through time, A.J. would gain skills and abilities, including knowing about his past, through his lifetime. There were times when he didn't lead his league, but did lead other teams. His soul-warriors, especially his copedam, accompanied him throughout his life or most of it at least. In his soul, A.J. is a natural leader; loves other creatures; sociably shy; caring; creative; fearless; reliable and patient.
At first A.J. knew of his crest as the Feranin crest of the Darkness crests. Later on though, he found out it was really and originally one of the divine type, though not the type's feranin. A.J. is sensitive; supportive and joyful at different times. When any of the members of his league needs support, he's there. He's generous and a lot of times selfless. Being from an ancestry line of honor and respect, A.J. took his role and destiny into hand and rode down it.
I'll have to mention though that some attributes and virtues that A.J. is, I'm not. Also, attributes and virtues that A.J. is, I am. So his character is based on me, but with more improvement, what I would like myself to be. It's past 1:30 am, fifth of June 2006, Monday...
A.J.'s Arabic name is Śohoob. From the start, A.J.'s story was filled with adventure and excitement. In may 13th, 1987, at the hospital he was born in, the doctors accidentally switched him with another baby who was also just born in that day. Fatefully though, the other baby died later on in an accident. It was a few months later that he had an extraordinary experience.
Growing straight from a baby to an adult was a nice experience and that's exactly what happened. His foster brother took him out for a walk and a sudden storm hit them while they were out. Tarek, his foster brother, found a 'haunted' house and there was where Tosha and Kane discovered the two. Right in front of their eyes, the baby vanished and it was their target to kidnap.
It's past 1:40 pm, 20th of June 2006, Tuesday. For more detailed info on A.J.'s history, check out Soul of the Believers: Peace Journey; Truce of the Codes: Rescue Journey; Storms of Myths; Twinkles of Myths and Digital World Rescue. His favorite animal is the owl, color: green, birthstone: emerald. His element is Twinkle. He has animal soul forms and spirit forms. What I forgot to mention is that A.J. loves animals and acknowledges them.
During his peace journey with Stan, A.J. was impressed by Islam; from the CD they had received. From it, A.J. learned of Islam in its monopath and was eager to become part of the great religion. Secretly, during the journey, A.J. embraced himself as a Muslim and did become one. It was only later on that he mentioned that he was a Muslim. From there on, A.J. was a devoted Muslim, for most of the time. He has dark brown hair and eyes. His crest is the divine crest of myths.
The mystery in his life started with the storm and Kestian House. Through the storm he got Zomo, his first suit and Muchiya, his twivice. He was mysteriously aged into a young man by Muchiya, from a baby. He fucked his mother unknowingly for the first time then. Kevin was the result. That's one of the reasons why Kevin and A.J. are so close in age, no one would of thought that they were father and son but rather brothers. His nicknames are Shooting Star and Paladin.
Five years with living with his mom and Zoomon in Meric Land and he found out about Twinkle Gate and Crescent Cave. He met Lunal and Ememon in Crescent Cave. At the age of 7, before he entered school, he went on his first journey with Stan, which was when the two first met. He met with Stan later in the 5th Oasis. He entered Sacramento School in Tamudom after the journey.
He stayed in Sacramento School for three years, finishing third grade and aged 10. During the few years that A.J. was living with his mom, Tosha taught A.J. some dancing when he was 6. Entering Crescent School in fourth grade, A.J. made new friends quickly. He met Jereiph: his hostile enemy; Helen: his sweetheart and Amanda: his first best-friend. He met up with most of the members of Crescent League that he started with; his league was known as a gang at first.
A.J. became responsible and independent at an early age. He was shy but yet was social when he needed to or wanted to. A born leader, A.J. embraced the religion of Islam and took leadership of his own made Crescent League. Scorpion Gang with Jereiph Scorpion as its leader was Crescent Gang's rival. Scorpion gang wasn't the only evil gang at school but it was the strongest. Salunaic gang was another evil gang.
Aged 15 and in 9th grade, A.J. met up with Stan for a third time. He also met Simon, Stan's younger brother. On the first day of school in 9th grade, A.J. killed Jereiph. He and Stan forgave each other and A.J. joined Stan and Simon into Crescent Gang. A.J. appointed Stan as Co-Leader. Then came the maintenance for the school and the trip to Meric Land. In Meric Land, A.J. got closer to Helen and told her everything almost. A.J. shared a lot with Stan.
With Jereiph dead, Scorpion gang was out of commission, Cobra Terrorists took its place and Salunaic Gang became the only gang in Crescent School. A.J. knew nothing of what was happening back there as he and Stan went on their second journey, Rescue Journey. From Misterim, A.J. got a lot of answers about his past and ancestors. He received Equusmon and Otazoidmon from his second journey.
He kept on encountering Straymon, the Codelimin responsible for Fred's and Carl's deaths. Back home in Meric Land, A.J. planned with Stan and Grace a surprise party for the entire league. From it A.J. would find out about the new members and what has happened since he was gone. His mountain name is Young Owl. He's part of the league's band, 'The Defensive Crescents'.
He entered his personal journey by accidentally stepping on a fatal poisonous plant, which only existed in Meric Land, called Infinitybite. He was alone with Helen on the Eternalrose Fields, near by Emerald Mansion. He went unconscious a few moments after stepping on it and went into coma. The next thing he knew was that he was falling into Crescent Volcano, and into the Realm of Charges.
In reality, he was in a dream of some sort and all his soul-warriors were with him, yet weren't with him. Back in Meric Land, Crescent League was worried and concerned for A.J., watching over his unconscious body in his room in Emerald Mansion. The date was 17th of October when it happened. Some events that accrued with him in the Realm of Charges really happened, while others were just imaginary.
He has a tattoo on his right shoulder, the badge of Crescent League. He also had his own badge and what he called 'Crescent League License', like the rest of the league. His soul-warriors; siblings; son and both Helen and Amanda stayed with him, during his temporary coma, rarely appearing in Zealon Feranin after A.J.'s accidental step. With A.J. in coma, the league continues on with Stan taking command. His sword is titled Myths Blade.
With Myths Blade, he can do a few unique attacks: Power of Myths and Tanis Glide. For something that really happened, was Starspark, A.J.'s new and first pet cat. On the second day of 'The Return', Tosha was so sad that she went out into the Eternalrose Fields and accidentally stepped on one of the Infinitybite plants, which is like a thorn and weed. She was dead when A.J. found her. She was the first to die in Meric Land and the first buried there.
Both Eternalrose and Infinitybite are brothers and flowers. To know the difference and which is which, Eternalrose has no thorns and its scent is sweet and beautiful, whereas Infinitybite has small green thorns on its stem and its scent is horrid and awful. Both flowers have various colors. Eternalrose also exists in Starowl. If a sweetheart cuts an Eternalrose, it becomes invisible and only the holder would see it.
When a sweetheart's soulmate touches an Eternalrose, it becomes visible -an indication that she loves him in return- and she would be its owner. In time, it would carry her scent and its own original scent would never fade away. But if the soulmate doesn't love the sweetheart, or is using or manipulating him, then it won't become visible. If it does, it would turn into an Infinitybite.
A.J.'s allegiances are to: The Islamic Nation; The Algerian People; Crescent League; Feranin League; The Defensive Crescents and Helen. He's one of the few sailors in Crescent League that has a Ranger form, like in Power Rangers. His ranger form is Twinkleman, or known better as Green Night Ranger.
