Kira & Sai Walk through the Plant's luscious gardens which outside, surrounded by thick pines and lacy water. One of the many beautiful jewels the PLANTS has to offer.
As both boys walked along a waved hand came from behind from one of the bushes. The person who waved reveal itself. Tolle with a cracked grin on his face along with Mir who is cupping Tolles hand and also smiling. Kuzzey also ran towards the group happily. All five friends were reunited. As they chat on things like how the Plants were beautiful, etc , etc Kira's eyes gaze upon a old person sitting on the bench writing. He soon recognize the face and the eyes. It was his father.
"Dad!!" Ulen turn his head head around and gave a shocking gasp. His son was here and he's running up to meet him with a happy smile on his face.
After a few minutes of reminiscing with each other . Kira sat down at the bench behind him and took a look on the progress on his fathers book .
"There and Back Again:A Tale Of Courage By Ulen Yamato!" Kira grinned as he brought his face up to his father. "It's wonderful."
"I meant to go back... wander the powers of Mirkwood... see the Coordinator labs that surrounds Lake town... walked the path to Lonely Mountain again. But alas age has finally caught up with me." Ulen sighed sadly after saying that Kira looked up at his father. He was no longer the man he use to see when he was little. His blond hair was now white and grey and the face revealed light wrinkles, but Kira understand thanks to Mu telling him. He brush that thought off and flip a page from his father's book revealing a map of Heliopolis.
"I miss Heliopolis dad. I spent most of my childhood dreaming that I was off on some glorious adventure. But mine turned out to be different. I'm not like you, father" Ulen saw the look in his face and embrace him in his shoulders. After his visit with his father Kira continued to wander around the Plants until he saw Sai on a balcony packing up necessary items in his bags.
"Now what have I forgotten?" said Sai to himself.
"Packing already Sai?" Sai turn his face around and faced Kira in front of him.
"Well there is no harm at being prepared Kira!"
"And I thought that you wanted to see elves so badly Sai?" Kira says tautly in which Sai reply drastically.
"I do! It's just that... We did what Mu wanted us to do didn't we? We've got the Ring this far to Aprilius. And I thought that seeing you on the mend. We'll be heading off soon. To home." Kira then pondered Sai's question for a second before answering.
"You're right Sai. We did what we were set out to do." Kira says holding out the Ring on the palm of his hand "the Ring will be safe in Aprilius," Sai looked at the Ring then to Kira, "I'm ready to go home Sai!" while the conversation was going on Mu and Segal watch the two boys on top from a balcony in Segal Clyne's study room.
"Kira's strength is returning Mu?" says Segal
"Yes unfortunately the wound will never fully heal. He will carry it for the rest of his life." Mu says it with a sigh of sadness on his face.
"And yet to have come so far, still bearing the Ring,That Coordinator has shown extraordinary resilience to its evil." suddenly a knocking on a door interrupted their conversation. Segal then told whoever was knocking to come in. The door open revealing a pregnant Murrue in front of them.
"Hope I'm not interrupting?" Segal nodded however Mu was still slightly nervous in front of his concubine after all she did punch him in the face. Murrue stood next to Mu but not before giving an angry glare at him telling him that she was still upset towards him. Mu saw the glare but cough and return to his normal tone. "Anyway Kira will have to carry that burden . We can not ask no more of Kira."
"Much as I agree LaFlaga, I cannot. The enemy is moving. Rau's demon forces are massing from the east. His mask is fixed here on the Plants, and now you'll have told me that your master Gilbert Durandel has now betrayed us. Our list of allies grow thin." says Segal with a sigh. Mu nods dejectedly.
"His treachery and betrayal runs deeper than you know. By foul craft, Durandel with an aid of a demoness woman has crossbreed different types of demon , he's breeding an army in the caverns of Messiah, an army that can cover great distance at speed. "
"What would be his purpose?" question Murrue with shocking gaze.
"To come for the Ring." Segal felt surprise what Mu has now told."This evil cannot be concealed by the power of the elves. We do not have the means or the strength to fight both Versalius and Messiah!" Mu sadly move away from both of them and stand towards the balcony.
"Listin to me the both of you." Segal says getting both their attention. "the Ring cannot stay here!" Mu look out to see new arrivals coming to the Plants. A boy with lime-green hair with two different eyes wearing a Atlantic Federation Uniform with an aid riding riding close behind him, a green haired elvan man with a boy who looks like a younger version of himself . Soon after the head Elsman clan arrived along with his young heir then finally the Princess of Orb along with her aid.
"This peril belongs to all of the Cosmic Earth. They must decide now how to end it." Segal walks over to Mu and Murrue . "The time of the Elvan is over — my people are leaving these shores. Who will you look to when we've gone? The Elsmans? They hide in the mountain sides chuckling diligently and thinks that the whole world's they're oyster— they care nothing for the troubles of others."
"The Elsmans are just one set of people Segal. The only hope is the union of both Naturals and Coordinators.
"Both of them are weak, I know this because I was once a Coordinator like them" Segal says and walks away from the window and wanders through his house both sorcerers follow. "Both of these races of Men are failing. The bloodline of the Zala's is all but spent, its pride and dignity forgotten. It is because of that the Ring survives. I was there . I was there three thousand years ago when the day the power of Coordinators failed."
AN: I decided to end it here since it was good place to close it. Next chapter will go slightly different at the beginning so watch for that, plus I was wondering. Now this is just an experiment. A Naruto/Contra crossover. Well thats it for now.
