(May 14, 1990)
It has been two days since Xyaqom took Zack in, and Xyaqom thought that Zack was one of those playful or thrilling kids who don't know how to sit still. However, Zack is a kid who loves to learn about something new, and he usually always sits down at the chair at the commanding center. He would sometimes play Alien Chess with the main computer, but it took a couple of times for Zack to get it right. He never got angry at losing at the game, yet he always thanks to the main computer for the game.
Xyaqom enters the commanding center with a serious expression as he sits down at a metal chair, and he speaks, "Zack, we are almost there, and I have to say you are an interesting kid." His tone is smooth and warm for Zack to hear those words. However, Xyaqom could tell that Zack was missing his 'father' figure been Dr. Andrew, yet Zack could not stay at the Planet Eden because he would have been killed by Black the Assassin.
"Mister Xyaqom, what are you going to do next after dropping me off at this planet?" Zack asks him with curiosity inside of his tone, which Xyaqom didn't want to tell him that he would go and find his next target or assignment.
"I'm afraid I can't answer your question because it's personal," Xyaqom responds to Zack with a firm tone because he didn't want the young child to get himself involved in something dangerous been Assassin's life or becoming one that would become someone that would not suit the life of a young boy. Zack had many questions about where Xyaqom would disappear to next, yet the answers would not come from the Assassin.
The spaceship's computer shows a large planet reveals it dark green and blue as Xyaqom holds great interest in the mysterious planet, but he would not stay here. Xyaqom would leave Zack here then go off to get a new assignment from a contractor, which he didn't want to stay behind to dig up something inside of his past because he had no intentions to make any connections with anybody here. After typing the coordinates to lead the spaceship to lands inside of the thick woods been large green leaf trees as nobody can see the spaceship and the landing gear placed itself on the solid ground then hatching door opens for Zack to walk out of the spaceship to see the beautiful forest trees and the air felt interesting as Zack turns his head to sees Xyaqom was holding black with dark blue traveling pack for Zack to have it.
"Mister Xyaqom," Zack says as he goes over to Xyaqom, which he bends down onto one knee, then Zack hugs Xyaqom. Xyaqom was surprised by the warm and comfortable embracement, surprising him as his eyes blinked, then returned the hug to a young boy.
After hugging one another for a couple of moments, Zack and Xyaqom pull away as Zack will miss Xyaqom and Dr. Andrew, but it was time for him to take his first steps for his new life to begin. "Stay safe and do not look back at your past because there's nothing good comes out of it," Xyaqom told the young child with a strong tone, and he returned to his feet to allow Zack to take the traveling pack onto his backside.
Zack steps out of the spaceship with his thoughts and heart were racing through many ideas about where to go next or how this new life would open new possibilities for him to choose the right path to walk within it. He took his first steps out of the spaceship and turned his head to see Xyaqom showing a gentle smile towards the young child to continue his new life as Zack blinks, understanding it is time to go and become the person that he chooses to be.
"Computer, let us get ready to go," Xyaqom tells his spaceship to get ready to leave the planet since it was time to go after his next contract after he takes a little break from this mission.
Zack hears the spaceship's engines fire up as his head turns to see Xyaqom's spaceship was taking off, then his right-hand waves at the spaceship. He was not going to show it, but he would miss Xyaqom. However, it was time to move on from this type of life. He begins to get himself out of the forest to see a large and beautiful city with buildings were reaching the dark blue and white clouds sky. He builds the courage to explore the massive city, and Zack sees the letters for the town been called Sainan.
(Middle of Sainan)
A family was walking their three-year son and holding their two-year-old daughter inside their mother's arms as she was stroking the sleeping little girl. Her hair is light brown, with her outfit is white dress down to her knees, and she was sleeping at the moment. The third-year old son had bright orange spike hair, defying gravity as it was standing in the air with his outfit in a dark blue shirt and black shorts, which his eyes are bright golden. His father had the appearance of a 28-year-old as his hair is black spiking hair and his eyes were dark blues and his outfit been a black t-shirt and dark blue long pants, which his height is 6'1, and his weight is 189 pounds. His wife's appearance was 26 years old with her hair straightening down to her neck being bright orange, and golden eyes with her outfit are light blue shirt down to her waist with purple pants down to her knees.
The young boy kept walking forward of his parents as he was filled with excitement, but he failed to stop in time as Zack bumped into him. Zack was nervous or scared that the young boy or his parents might get angry with him, yet the young boy got up onto his feet with a simple question.
"Are you okay?" The young boy asks Zack with a comfortable and friendly tone because he is worried that he might have gotten hurt when they bumped into one another.
"Y-Y-Yes, I am," Zack responds to the young boy with his right-hand reaches out to take hold of the young man's left hand. It helped him up onto his feet, and he was wondering who is this young man.
The young man's parents catch up with their son and still hold their little daughter inside of her arms. His father looked a little mad at his son, but it seems that his son has made a new friend who seemed like his own age, and his expression changes into worried because this kid seems like he was new here.
"Rito, did you apologize for bumping into him?" Rito's father asks his young son with a deep tone because he was hoping to hear the right answer, and Rito looks away from Zack to look at his father.
"Yes, I did, and I'm very sorry for bumping into you," Rito speaks to Zack with a gentle-friendly voice, then he forgets to introduce himself to this new friend. "My name is Rito Yuuki." Rito introduces himself with the same tone towards Zack, which he realizes that he doesn't have any last name, so it would be impossible to introduce himself to others.
"Zack… My name is Zack." Zack says only his first name with a respectful tone towards Rito and his family, which they realize that Zack did not say his last name.
Does that mean Zack was an orphan or homeless as young he is?
Rito becomes curious about Zack because he didn't have any last name and seems lost, meaning he didn't have anywhere else to go or stay for the night.
Zack would leave the Yuuki Family, but Rito's father turned his head to look at his wife, wondering if it was alright for him to stay with him until they decided. Rito's mother begins to think about it as she accepts the offer since she does not want to see a young honey boy like Zack sleep on hard ground.
"Zack, how about you come to stay with us for today and tonight." Rito's father asks the young boy with a gentle and respectful tone as he bends down onto one knee as his right hand was offered for Zack to take it as Zack was wondering if it was alright to trust these new people. Still, his heart was telling him to trust them since he could feel no threat or malice aura surrounding them.
Zack made his mind up with his left hand reaching out to take hold of Rito's father's hand, showing warm and welcoming smiles for the new family member. His lips form a gentle smile because it seems that he has decided to trust these new people, but it would change his life when he discovers this moment will change his life for the better.

After walking for a couple of minutes, Rito and his family learned about Zack as he was an interesting young boy who loved everything that Rito loved to do in his spare time. It was a large white wall house with a dark blue steel rooftop as Zack becomes curious about the house since he has never seen one before. Still, his mind told him not to worry about the small details.
Zack went inside the house, which was opening to a wooden hallway with the center of the stairway, then there was a large living room on the right side. The left side holds another room, but doors and another room seal it away. However, it was closed by the door.
"This is our home, so please make yourself home as well, Zack." Rito's father responds to Zack with a gentle voice, and he is happy that the young boy was looking around the room wondering about the new surroundings as Rito's father shows a bright smile with his wife.
After entering the living room with Zack, the little girl inside Rito's mother's arms finally awakens from her slumber to see Zack as Rito's mother introduces herself to Zack. "My name is Ringo, and my husband's name is Saibai. This little angel is Mikan Yuuki." Ringo told him warmly as Mikan looked at Zack with interest about this mysterious and interesting young child in front of her.
"Who… Who is this person, Mama?" Mikan asks him with a soft and nervous tone towards her mother, with her cheeks turning bright red. Mikan sounds like she had a little crush on Zack, but it was too early to tell if she did or not. Zack looked around the room to see a midsize light brown wooden table center and a black box called television.
"His name is Zack, and he's going to be staying here for a while," Ringo told her daughter with a comfortable tone as the little girl turned her sight to see Zack was looking outside of the window with great interest, which she was hoping that he can become her brother like Rito is.
Zack was starting to feel like this was his new home, but he had to first develop a trust relationship with these people. It was time for dinner, which Zack got up onto his feet with Saibai steps out of the room next to the living room, been kitchen.
The dinner was white rice with fried chicken and mixed vegetables as the drink was sweet tea. Zack blinked his eyes of surprise, and he went over to sit down at the table to enjoy the food with the Yuuki Family. He wished that Dr. Andrew and Xyaqom were alright since he had finally found his new home and family to call his own.
After dinner, it was time for a bath then Zack was led to an empty white wall room with a midsize bed at the center and a window at the right side. "Zack, this is your room here," Saibai tells the young child with a gentle voice, and Zack couldn't believe it, but he was getting his room, for now, to stay with them.
"Is it okay if I stay here?" Zack asks him with a soft tone because he is curious about his answer which Saibai looks down at the young boy with his lips, forming a warm smile. After all, he would not kick Zack out of the house since he had nowhere to go.
"Yes, it is," Saibai told the young boy with a confident voice that he knows that Zack can do incredible things inside of his future, and he was going to raise Zack as his sons like Rito and his daughter Mikan.
