Uncles L, P, and D
The group was standing in front of a large estate, waiting for the gate to open.
Lan was looking around the yard as they entered, amazed at the size and beauty of the front part of the estate. "Wow," he said. "Sal would love this place." Maylu, Dex, and Yai voiced their agreement as they continued towards the large mansion in the center of the estate. "So, Jen, your uncles must be very wealthy."
"Not really," Jen answered, in her wave form, since it was unnecessary to disguise themselves. "They're well known around here and they have a small fortune. The people who sold them this estate was actually someone they had saved."
"Oh. So, what are they like," Sonia asked.
"Well, Mr. K is kindhearted. He may look menacing, but deep down, he's a big softie. Mr. M is more of a books kinda guy. You can ask him just about anything and he can probably tell you what you need to know. And finally, Mr. S. He's….well, he's…….hmmmmm. I guess you could say he's the more fun loving guy of the trio. But there's one thing they all have in common," Max said.
"What's that?"
"Mess with Jen in a bad way and there isn't a place in this zone or any zone that you'll be safe," J answered. "You shoulda seen what they did to last guy. He couldn't move for months. And that was them taking it easy on the punk."
"Really? So who's the lucky guy right now," Luna asked.
Z leaned over to whisper so that only those around her, excluding J and Jen, could hear. "Right now, she's got her sights set on J. But even though he acts like he doesn't like her, I think deep down, he really does have those kind of feelings for her. But since I've known him, it seems to me it's hard for him to admit that kind of stuff."
"Actually, it is," Max said. "J and I have been together since infancy and I have yet to see him ever admit those kind of feelings to anyone. The closest feelings to those is the fact that he and I are as close as biological brothers, while Will and Z are like adopted siblings."
"Hey, anyone wanna ring the bell," Jen asked, interrupting their conversation. They had reached the door, which had three symbols on the front that were mixed into one. One was a star, set in the second symbol, which was a small flame. Both the first and second symbols were set in a tornado of wind.
"Interesting knocker," Chaud said, stepping up to ring the bell.
As the bell finished ringing, a deep voice was heard on the other side of the door. "Who's there?"
"Come on, Uncle L. Open up," Jen said, a smile on her face.
"Jennifer? Is that you?" The door opened to reveal a large lion, wrapped in red flames, red armor around his tail, torso, and face.
Geo and Omega-xis gasped, recognizing the similarity this figure had to someone in their zone. "Leo Kingdom," Geo gasped.
Leo Kingdom looked down at Geo and Omega-xis. "Do I know you," he asked the two.
"Sort of," Geo answered, remembering that Jen had explained to them when they first arrived about the possibility of Prime Zone doubles. "But in a different place."
"Maxwell. J. Have you two been practicing your power again?" Leo Kingdom looked down at the two. They just gave a sheepish look and nodded. He gave a sigh. "I just don't know what I'm going to do about you two. I'm sure young Zaria, William, and my niece are keeping you boys in check."
"Wait, who's Zaria," Maylu asked.
Z just blushed, embarrassed that Leo Kingdom had called her by her real name. "I am," she said. "Mr. Kingdom, I've asked you before to just call me Z. I feel weird being called Zaria."
"I know, little one," Leo Kingdom answered. "But it's only out of habit that I do so. Now then, if you would all like to come inside, I would be glad to introduce you to my brothers." They all followed him inside and the door closed behind them.

After introductions had been made, they were all sitting in a large room, sitting on the various pieces of furniture set about. "So, you called in these other people to help you," Dragon Sky asked Max.
"Yes sir," Max answered.
"I gotta give you props, little buddy. To be able to bring in that many people at once and with that kind of accuracy…. Well done."
"If you'll all excuse me for a bit, I need to get back to my research," Pegasus Magic said, getting up to walk back to the large study. As he opened the door, a large bucket of a strange sticky, green gloop fell on him, covering him completely. "Alright, which one of you-"
But he didn't need to complete the question, because Dragon Sky was rolling around the floor, laughing like an idiot. "Man, that never gets old," he said, wiping tears from his eyes. Pegasus Magic's only reply was to freeze Dragon Sky. Pegasus Magic then proceeded to walk to his study, trying to wipe off the weird gloop on him.
"Great, now I have to thaw him out again," Leo Kingdom said, getting up and holding the tip of his tail next to Dragon Sky. While he was doing that, he said to Jen, "Jennifer, I almost forgot to tell you. Your cousin is staying with us now."
"Which one," Jen asked.
"Sarah. I'll call her down." Leo Kingdom walked out of the room to the bottom of the stairwell. "Sarah, come down here. Jennifer is here."
They heard a loud squeal of delight and then footsteps running down the stairs. A young wave being, green in color, simple armor covering her torso, cloth gloves and sleeves, and looking to be about sixteen or seventeen, ran at Jen and nearly knocked her over. "JENNY!!!!"
"Hey Sarah," Jen said, hugging her back. "It's great to see you again."
"You too. Where have you been? And who are your friends," the wave being, Sarah, asked her cousin. After introductions were made and the story was given to her, Sarah slapped her hand to her face. "What are we going to do with you two," she said, referring to Max and J. "Jenny, I will never figure out what you see in that guy."
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Listen, we gotta go now," Jen told her uncles and cousin.
"Oh. So soon," Sarah asked, obviously disappointed.
"Yeah. But I'll come back to visit more often."
"You better."
I'm done with this chapter. And expect to see more of Jen's uncles and cousin in the story. They may be a key part of this story.
