Hey guys, before we begin with this, I thought I should tell you that I have finished the next chapter to both "Restart Forever" and "Life of Love and Pure of Heart." So once I publish those I might be giving myself a head start with them. But before that, just enjoy this and "Island of Villains" still.

Okay Alex, let's see what you think of this.

SCENE V - THE REVEAL

After Samurai Al karate chopped Garrett's shoulder, everyone gasped until they noticed it had no affect on him. The move that he displayed was good and strong enough to break four boards, but there wasn't a single sound from the bone and Garrett didn't look surprised at all. Though Al did feel a little pain on his wing, he just held it together and a face of anger while staring at Garrett.

Leo said aloud, "Okay, Al. What the heck did you just do?"

"Reveal something important."

"And that is what? That Garrett's a little stronger than he looks?" Lyra asked.

"Yes, though a lot more than you think."

"He's not wrong." Said Garrett as he stood up. "Guys, while I…(sigh)…while I rather discuss this later, there is something important I have been hiding from you…for quite a while. I'm anothintin."

"A what?" Sebastian questioned.

"An anothintin."

Al explained, "A being who's born with skin that is almost stronger than a steel safe. They are also immune to most diseases. And I assume that that includes the disease that the refugees are infected with?"

"Again, you're not wrong. I'll be honest, I was wondering how long it would've taken you to find out. Just how exactly did you find out?"

"I got a little curious when we heard Talon speaking about you, and that cut on the shoulder of your suit is a little more obvious than you might think."

"Impressive." He said as he looked at it.

"You're skin is as impervious as pure iron and you can't get infected from most things. If you had all of these capabilities then why didn't you work on dealing Talon and finding the cure yourself?"

"Because I know for a fact that there's no such thing as invincibility, and despite how much I can do, I know better than to work alone on a top mission like this."

Al gave him a scowlish look. Anothintin were strong creatures, and the fact Garrett that didn't tell any of his teammates about what he was created questions.

Lyra was the first to step up and ask, "So wait. You have skin that's like a brick wall and you have an immune system that's unlike any of ours. I got all of that but is any of that also connected to what Talon said? He mentioned aloud about you having this technology."

Garrett sighed, "Okay. If you guys want me to be even more honest about what and who I am, then fine. The technology that I have and that he was referring to was this." At a split second, from out of his suit, came these large group of nanobots appeared and formed up as these four manical arms.

Author's Note: Imagine them looking like Doctor Octopus.

Garrett continued, "These things are inventions of mine. Nanotechnology that I call MCs. I use them as clothing, use to help me make weapons, and take care of other things that I can't reach…like saving someone who's unconscious and falling from the stairs." He was talking about Sebastian, who was shocked to hear something like that. "And that's not all…" He had everybody look down at his left talon, where he took off his boot and revealed a golden ring. They were confused as to what it was. "Let me show you what I am. And just to make sure Talon won't see us." All the MCs on his suit grew bigger, enough to create a small dome on the roof, where they would be safe, and it did freak the gang out a little bit. "Here I go." Then he removed the ring from his talon, where he then turned bright white all over, and everyone noticed his body shape and size changing until…the light disappeared and he everybody saw him…as a human being. Garrett was the only one on the roof that didn't have his beak dropped.

"I am really a creature called a human being from another universe in the 50th century where Aku is a character in fiction and the reason why I came here is because I am traveling both outer space and the mutliverse trying to help people from harm, and when I saw that this was one of those universes I wanted to help, I disguised myself as one of the natives so I could blend in better and assist any way I could. I just never knew that I entered a universe that had Aku and the Samurai destined to kill him until I met you, Al." He said all of that pretty fast but everyone caught every word.

No one gave an answer, just stayed frozen in their stunned look. So Garrett put his power ring back on to turn back into his macaw form and took the dome down.

Sebastian finally became the first to answer after that. "I'll be honest, I would've thought you were crazy if I didn't shape shift into that thing."

"Yeah. Which is practically the reason why I never told you guys, despite how much I did trust you. Which was a lot."

"Wow. Garrett, I…we really don't know what to say." Mikka said.

"There's no need to. One other thing you should know is that I'm not a mind reader but my senses are pretty high. Enough to tell how someone's feeling without showing it but still thinking about it deeply. (sigh)…I know I betrayed your trust guys and I'm sorry but we need to focus on more important matters here, we-"

"Hold on." Al said, touching Garrett's shoulder. "Garrett…you said you travel through outer space and the mutliverse, right?"

"Yes?"

Al didn't say anything next but did have a great big "why didn't I think before?" face. Garrett pretty much noticed it. "Oh no. Al, I know what you're thinking, and the answer is no." "What?" "I said no. If you are wondering, yes. I also have the capability to travel time but having a power is too dangerous even for someone like me. And I'm aware of your mission, Al. I can't send you back to the past."

Hearing that gave Al an hard anxious feeling. "Why?!"

"Shh! Keep it down!" Garrett whispered.

"How do you even know about that?"

"There aren't many people that you haven't already told them about. Plus, in my universe, you're pretty much important too. So important that I can't interferre with your purpose. I can't send you back in time to the moment after Aku banished you to this future, because you don't know what you still need to do here."

"Wha-? Okay, I understand. The people in this city need our help, but what I meant was after we-"

"I know what you meant. And even after this, I still can't help you. You need to stay here."

Just those exact words made Al feel a little angry. For so long, almost maybe two years in fact, Samurai Al has been wandering around the planet trying to save people from Aku's wrath, fight millions and millions of villains, and trying to make sure that he could keep his magic sword from the compassion he had in his heart. And with every opportunity he had to find a time portal that would bring home, he destroyed it because there were folks that were in danger. They were ready sacrifice their lives to help him, but he wasn't. He showed hoped and self-sacrifice to everyone he could. But with the biggest opportunity that he saw right in front of him, he felt mad because it refused to help him.

So Al said stern and slowly to Garrett, "Do not tell me that. Don't you ever say that to me. Do you understand? I have been here for far too long. Saving everyone, and the people of my past are dead and will stay that way unless I go back and destroy Aku before he ever creates this nightmare of a future."

"I know. And believe me you're not the only one who feels that way. Look directly at me, Al, and notice something. I am not as young as I look. Not only am I a different creature but I am also older than anybody in this future. In my past, I have spend so many years alone that I could never forgive myself for the mistakes I've made and for ignorant mistakes that everyone else has made. But then after a long while, I remembered that I had friends who helped me understand how to forgive, how to move on, and how to continue doing what's right. You want to continue doing what's right, and you feel it's not enough. Believe me, I have been there. I have been in your shoes before. And I know that everyday the feeling of failure makes you want to feel bad…but you also know that that's not going to help you. Hope and self-sacrifice are the real keys you need to get home and destroy Aku. You are strong Al, and from your past and even now, you've always been strong. So believe me, I know how you feel and I promise you this…things will get better. Remember that." Garrett said amazingly while holding Al's shoulders. And he knew he was right. To Al, being a hero always meant showing self-sacrifice so the people around him would not suffer, and holding hope was what gave him strength. So with keeping all of that in mind, despite wanting to kell, Al nodded. Showing that he understood what Garrett was telling him.

"Thank you." Garrett smiled. "Now that we have that settled, I think we need to get back to our hideout before they find us."

"Okay."

The gang were able to hear every word, and thought they were both right. So everyone ran from the roofs and headed back to their sanctuary to work on a cure.

Yeah I know this one was short but you guys are gonna like the next stuff that comes up. Trust me.
