I was on my way to the infirmary wing to visit Reiko as I noticed several more members of the Order coming and going due to the gifts that were brought towards them. It had been two weeks since the birth of Zia and Zoran as I went into the hospital room where Reiko was recovering from her caesarian section after that. I was also on a roll as I was ready to celebrate four birthdays in three days in which I had the older twins, along with Dean and Kanna in their prime. When I saw Reiko sitting up in her bed, I noticed the blaring of the television in the room as it was showing a Spanish language soap opera that ran from a Latino channel that broadcasted near the regions that bordered to the Southern Stride. The soap opera itself was a telenovela that focused on relationships and such in which Reiko was there to watch it with tears in her eyes.

"Are you feeling alright?" I asked as I wiped away Reiko's tears.

"I'm alright, but this telenovela episode was very sad," she answered.

"El Salvaje Rojo… I heard all about it in which the series is now in its twelfth season now. The usual soap opera runs every day, but nowadays, it only runs from up to twenty-three episodes for a seasonal run."

I saw the images of the melodrama of the telenovela play out as I noticed a familiar archangel playing the part of the Latin lover who begins to seduce the usual heroine on the television screen so far. It was Gabriel as he was hard at work doing what he did best and that was going into the pictures with his usual acting chops. Still, I didn't mind it as I also had so much to do due to the multitasking of the familial duties that I had so far. Just as I was about to leave the room, I saw myself being transported to the set of the telenovela that Reiko was watching in which I saw her taking care of the two sets of twins that were there. I had a gut feeling that I was going to be in yet another session of television hell as I heard the sound of a mariachi band playing in the background. I was trapped in a Spanish language soap opera as I even found myself dressed up in traditional Mexican clothing in which I was most likely to be stuck with Reiko who wore the same thing as me, but in an elegant dress that made her more beautiful than I ever imagined.

"You've made it just in time for the banquet," she said.

"Banquet?" I said as I was puzzled.

"We're having a party with fireworks to commemorate the four birthdays. Isn't this wonderful?"

"But we're in the middle of winter, not the cusp of summer."

"Sam!"

I was jolted back to reality as I was back in Reiko's hospital room in which I heard Cynthia yelling for me. When I left out into the hall, I saw her coming with a cart full of food as it was earmarked for Reiko, who was still recovering from giving birth to the twins two weeks ago. The sight of nikujaga with freshly baked bread was a feast for the eyes as I felt my stomach growling. Still, the food was meant for Reiko anyway as I decided to let her by for a good reason.

"It's about time that I found you and you show up near Reiko's hospital room," she said.

"It's strange that everything is on a roll, but with the twins tended to every now and then, it's one hell of a ride to boot," I said.

"It's also a godsend that we have that breastpump to siphon Reiko's milk to feed the newborns in which it proves to be useful when she is still recovering."

"Life is back to normal, but the war that's going on has become intense due to the coming and going of the allied forced being tended to over here by the Medical Corps. I may not like it, but it's also a bigger godsend in which they were there to deliver Zia and Zoran into the world after that."

"He venido a poner su carne en su taco," said Gabriel in Spanish on screen as Cynthia peddled the cart into the room where she saw the telenovela blaring on the television. "Usted es el fluido queso en mi nachos. Te deseo tanto, mi amor-"

"What the hell?!" Cynthia was stunned to hear such talk from the telenovela as she turned off the television directly. "I don't like that smut whatsoever."

"But it'll come back on, no matter what you do, Mother," said Reiko cautiously.

"I know that perverted archangel due to his antics by starring in numerous things, including those cheesy Casa Erotica pornos."

Without warning, the television came back on as Cynthia became disgusted with seeing the telenovela being broadcasted during the family hour. Still, she never cared for such cheesy soap operas as she found them to be revolting due to the campy dialogue and awful love triangles that came afterwards. I didn't blame her as she was not too thrilled to see the telenovela about to close out before it ended until the next program came along, but I wasn't about to judge her too quickly about it right now.

"That son-of-a-bitch," she said. "He's pushing it when he has the gall to turn back on the t.v. all the live long."

"He's in a telenovela, but there's no telling what tricks he has up his sleeve," I said.

"Do you know what he said, Sam? He said 'I've come to put your beef in your taco.' If one of the older children came in here and saw that, we would be the laughing stock of the castle."

"I know what putting one's beef in another's taco means and it's an old innuendo for sex."

"Well, the children shouldn't be seeing that anyway because they're too young for it. Anyway, it's time that you get into the dining room to be with the children anyway. You can't just wait hand and foot on Reiko forever and besides, you're not Superman of all people."

I reluctantly agreed as I left the room and ventured out into the hall of the infirmary wing where I noticed some of the wounded being taken into the spare rooms to recover. By the time I was out of there towards the elevator, I saw Varro entering into it as I caught it in time to go downward to the main floor. Both of us were going for our dinner as it was a daily dose of a partial normalcy in the time of an ongoing war, for it was getting to be too much already.

"Looks like you've got your hands full," said Varro as he was holding two crutches to stable himself due to the injury on his leg. "As for me, I can't go back on the battlefield until I make it through."

"You did sustain injuries that nearly killed you, but at least you have it tough," I said.

"This war isn't making things better in which the Executive Division and their allies will stop at nothing to subjugate this galaxy to their will."

"This war was never supposed to be like that until I looked up some research at my spare time. The Sol Project was designed to maintain harmony and balance to all planets until the Executive Division took advantage of that tactic to their own favor. Therefore, we may have pushed back against Julilla's forces, but the casualties in this war were added than prevented in this deplorable fight."

"Dinner's ready!"

We heard the sound of Wakana's voice over the elevator intercom as we touched down onto the main floor. By the time we stepped out of it, we were going towards one of the dining areas as we were given our dinner as planned. The smell of nikujaga and baked bread was more than enough to have us eat our meal with everyone in our families as we were happy to have the meal that was given to us. Still, I began to worry about Reiko as she was still in the infirmary wing recovering from the caesarian section that she endured. As usual, I was ready to visit her later as I finished up my meal and left for the kitchen where I set my dishes into the sink. Just as I was about to leave, I saw Wakana entering in there as she was busy checking on the dessert that was baking in the oven. It was a set of pies that were baked as I saw some of them done and cooling on the countertop. I was eager to get myself some pie, but I had to make sure that Reiko got some as I was worrying about her to the extreme. I wanted her to recover to the fullest as I later noticed her coming into the kitchen to see what was going on, for she was wanting some pie like the rest of us.

"Reiko, what are you doing out of bed?" asked Wakana as she was stunned to see her out and about.

"I wanted to be here with everyone to enjoy some pie," she answered as she was feeling wobbly until I caught her. "It's been two weeks since Zia and Zoran came into the world, but I couldn't be in that hospital room forever."

"And I thought I had troubles with being confined…," I said.

"Well, you better get back before you hear from Kazuo and he's on a roll while dealing with the war that ails the people who come and go here," said Wakana. "You've delivered those new stinkers into the world, but they can't be helpless."

"But I did feed them before I left my room, didn't I?" said Reiko.

"Sorry, but you have the doctor's orders," I said as I saw my wife feel slightly downhearted. "Don't worry; I'll give you some pie before Dean arrives and he enjoys it every now and then."

"Kazuo's back!"

I left the kitchen with Reiko in tow as I carried off towards the elevator. When we were going to the floor of the infirmary wing, I was dreading the worst coming from Kazuo and his stern lectures as I had to get Reiko back to her room before he caught us. By the time we reached the infirmary wing, we stepped out of the elevator as we went back to the hospital room where Reiko was staying at in which we heard footsteps approaching. I was dreading the worst as I crept out briefly and saw Reuben arriving with a cart full of pie in it. Still, I had no worries about Reuben coming and going as he was there to do his job, for he had began to feel more compassion for his patients than his usual self.

"Reiko keeps leaving her hospital room when I'm not looking, but luckily, you caught her in time before Kazuo came over here," he said.

"But I can't remain in this hospital room forever," she wailed woefully.

"Having a caesarian is a serious matter and it's also a godsend that the Medical Corps have laser scalpels to close up wounds and reduce scarring."

"But I feel better already..."

"Reiko…," I said. "You already gave birth, but you still need to rest up, alright? I'll help you do the legwork with the newborns while I help out with the older ones. Help is never far away, for it will be much better in the end."

WAAAAHHHH!

The sound of the newborns crying was an answer to me as I went towards the nursery next door to see them in their bassinets fidgeting after getting fed and a nap earlier. Both girl and boy were crying their lungs out as I picked them up one at a time. Zia was in a dire need of a diaper change as I noticed that she was wet while Zoran was the same way. In an effort of being helpful, I picked up Zia first as I took her over to the changing table while taking off her little warm sleeper. The diaper that she wore was soaked as I removed it while getting a wipe to clean her bottom up. By the time I was finished, I powdered her bottom up as I put on a fresh diaper to cover her up before putting her back in her bassinet. When I got Zoran out of his own bassinet, I took off his sleeper as I removed his own diaper to see him all wet the moment I grabbed a wipe and cleaned him up before throwing it away. By the time I diapered him up while putting back on his sleeper, I put him back into his bassinet as he was fully content with a clean bottom. I was on full alert into dealing with the newborns until I saw Reiko approaching with a smile on her face. She loved the newborns just as much as I did as she walked towards them in which they were staring at her with strange looks on their faces.

"Daddy took care of you, didn't he?" she said as she picked up Zia. "Oh, my little darlings… You look like us, but you also have your daddy's jeweled sigil on your little foreheads."

"Zia has a fierce temper, but she's a lot like you," I said.

"Well, Ghimru was a hair puller..."

Speaking of Ghimru… I saw him walking on his own as he was going into the nursery with Carly following him. Even Aora was coming in here as he was also there to see what was going on, for he and his brother were the oldest after all. Still, we couldn't leave the older set out as I saw Ghimru walking towards my long hair while pulling it until I caught him and scooped him up. I couldn't get mad at my fair-haired son as I noticed him beginning to develop a hint of raw power of his own. He was starting to exhibit signs of power surges as he shocked me so badly that my hair stood up and touched the ceiling. Luckily, I was alive, but I had a gut feeling that my little son would end up being a guinea pig for the Medical Corps without warning, for he was alive and full of energy due to his abundant personality.

"You gave me a shock there, little one," I said as I saw Ghimru giggling with laughter.

"You look like the Bride of Frankenstein, Mr, Sam," said Carly as she saw my hair still sticking up.

"Sorry about that..." I used my raw power to lower my silver hair as it was back dragging the ground again. "Looks like I have my own little monster here..."

"Wasn't Aora born first? He should get some raw power, too."

"Sometimes, the younger sibling plays the hero to his older one, but being one takes lots of measure and sacrifice to protect his or her friends and loved ones."

"Wasn't Dean born with raw power like you were?"

"No…, but from what I heard from him, he stayed by my mother's side before my father got there, but my birth was foretold by those who are bringing me towards a much higher purpose in mind."

"But Dean has a sigil like you, but it's on his chest. Even Magda calls him a walking nightlight when he walks in the dark."

"It's not like that," said Reiko. "Brother had it when Sammy saved him when he was badly hurt. Luckily, he lives and Magda still keeps him out of the kitchen when there's pie around."

"But's he's back on Claudius fighting the meanies who started that awful war. I hope that he's okay..."

It wasn't long until I felt my long hair being tugged as I was towed away out of the nursery. At that moment of pulling off what is known to be a dick move, I turned around and noticed Kazuo standing behind me as he was at his sternest in mind. Still, I had no other choice but to follow him into one of the medical labs as I was about to be under the microscope again against my wishes while I held Ghimru in my arms. Both of us were in the doghouse as we were about to be tested for possible reactions of what my raw power pulled off, but I was getting a little tired of the testing altogether when others were in dire need of proper care during this ongoing war.

"You can't just pull my hair all the live long, Kazuo," I said.

"I have every right to do so because you're more than just a typical test subject," he answered.

"I'm grateful that Zia and Zoran are delivered, but you can't drag me into your lab and test me all the live long forever."

"You have plenty of energy in which your tests can't be ignored by our allied forces, for they are fighting against the Executive Division by the numbers."

"I had a feeling that you would say that..."

"And it seems that you have a little package in your hands when it comes to little Ghimru." Kazuo notices my fair-haired son giggling with his growing hair poofing up. "It also seems that your son has developed a hint of raw power of his own unlike his brother, Aora."

"Aora was born first, but he'll soon develop what I have due to the jeweled sigil on his forehead."

"Your children don't have just the raw power that they've inherited from you. They also inherited the angelic power that came from Reiko due to Pomelia's heritage as a Half-Elf whose father was one of the Knights of Heaven. Just yesterday, Aora fell down and skinned his knee, but with one touch, he was healed."

"It seems that both older sons have the whole galaxy on their shoulders..."

I set Ghimru down on the floor as he was refused to budge. He was more like me as he was developing more than just the raw power that he had inherited. He began to develop an angelic aura as I saw the presence of wings from within. My fair-haired boy was the mixture of mine and Reiko's blood in his veins as he was also the second twin from the older set. By the time I saw the angelic aura go away, I noticed Ghimru yawning as he was tired from displaying it the moment I saw him rubbing his eyes.

"You've gotten tired, didn't you?" I said as I picked Ghimru up and set him on the cot that was near the shelves. "You developed quickly, but you can't grow up too fast, alright?"

"Not so fast, Sam," said Kazuo. "You have all that raw power, but you've also become a target for those who have the gall to abuse what you have. Your children are also targets for those who would abuse what they have as well."

"Don't involve the children in this, you got that, Kazuo?" I was getting testy as I was also being protective of mine and Reiko's future offspring. "They're living, breathing humanoid beings, not test subjects. They need to thrive with positive things, not be under a sterile environment that stifles their growth and creativity."

"They can thrive, but they must be watched constantly at all times. And for the record, the presence of a helicopter parent trumps the risks of leaving them in grave danger. The Executive Division and their allies are still out there and they won't stop until they gather you and your family up to become fodder for their sick agenda in mind. We are in a torrent of chaos in which you and your family have gotten to be in the crosshairs of those who started this war in the first place. Therefore, you can't back out on having protection and that includes bringing in a bodyguard the moment you go out on the field or on a council meeting with the other Elders of the Order. We're in a fury in the storm and there's no way out of it and every time you try to wander off alone without backup, you would end up putting yourself at risk in front of the enemy."

"Well, it's better than displaying a neon sign that says 'come kill me.'"

Without warning, I saw the vent above the sink burst open as I saw Bobby emerging with a familiar chip in his mouth the moment he jumped towards the floor. The furry housecat was on call as he dropped the chip in front of Kazuo when he picked it up. He recognized it to be yet another SIM-Tron chip as he had a full disdain for the defunct company that produced it. With a pocket projector hidden in his robe, he got it out as he inserted the SIM-Tron chip into it in which he saw images of me on Drakonus during the holiday break. He also noticed relay information coming and going on screen as it was none other than the usual morse code that the Executive Division used, for he had to show it to the higher-ups eventually.

"This was on Drakonus," he said.

"That's not all that's on it," said Bobby as he was concerned about the ongoing war. "The morse code that the Executive Division uses is something that was once useful during the First Galvanic Uprising a couple years back. Even Rufus is aware that those idjits from the enemy forces are keeping tabs on Sam wherever he goes."

"Here's a whole bunch more!"

It wasn't long until I spotted a calico polydactyl cat emerging from the vent as she jumped down with a bag full of SIM-Tron chips in it. The cat itself was close to Bobby as she was also aware of the danger that the war had caused, for it was a plague on both sides indeed.

"Well, Grandpa, is it enough to show Sam that he's still not out of the crosshairs yet?" she asked.

"Easy, Maka," said Bobby. "Whatever data that those idjits have in store in those birds that Cynthia shoots down with her rifle sure has to be reviewed sooner or later."

"Donna and Jody do the work by attacking them, but I'm the one who yanks out the data." The calico cat flashes off her two extra toes on each paw. "Those bozos from the Executive Division have did more than just invaded your personal space, Sam. Even Grandpa knows it because he's seen this before when you were little."

"She's right about that one, but you're gonna have to step up and go under the radar a little longer than what you see on a daily basis. I'm no stranger to those that are out to get people, for I lived through it and died before becoming a spirit to slam my foot in Dick Roman's balls back in the Elder Days. It's not fun, but you need to have backup everywhere you go or else you'll be in the clutches of Julilla and she really loves to keep tabs on the men who get away."

"Sam's not the only man who resisted that ice queen. That High Elf who got bumped from the Medical Corps to the Council of Elders also resisted her, but she got the drop on him when she had his wife and father-in-law executed in the town square. Even Rufus doesn't like her because of what she is underneath when she lures vulnerable men and seduces them, only to have them suffer from what she has in her and that is the usual chemical that is found in Claudian tree frogs, which are on the endangered species list. Everyone is scared for your safety, Sam. I know that you don't like being surrounded, but it's better than being taken away by Julilla and her forces and they sure know how to abuse what you have."

I was highly concerned about the situation that I was put into as I had to watch my back just as much as the people around me. The words of Bobby and Maka were more than enough to keep me on edge as I was most likely to be caught in the crossfire of the war that should've been averted to begin with. In the end of it all, no one asked for this war as the Second Galvanic Uprising was still going, for there was no end of it so far in the meantime…

Later on in the evening, I was in the same room during my house arrest as I was in the bathroom that was in there. Even though the bathtub suited me the most, I missed the one on the floor of my old room as it was something that I went into from time to time. Nowadays, I preferred the one in the new room as I was busy relaxing in the bathtub that was in there. With another long day wrapped up, I was most likely to be getting out as I drained out the water and dried myself with a towel before stuffing it into the hamper. By the time I got dressed in my nightclothes and later brushed my teeth, I was done in the bathroom as I left out of there to be in the futon I was in while I spotted the t.v. set turning on by itself. Once again, I heard the sound of drama coming from the screen as I saw the words, "La Furia en La Tormenta," which was "The Fury in the Storm" in Spanish. It wasn't long until I saw Gabriel on screen dressed up in a Mariachi outfit complete with a diamond-studded sombrero and the usual fake mustache that he sports on.

The sight of him was awkward as he was busy acting his lines in the cheesiest telenovela that I ever saw, only to see him dance with one of the women with the sound of a Mariachi band playing in the background. By the time that the dance was over, I was hearing Gabriel speaking Spanish as he stood there on screen in a close-up shot of him. He was most likely to be talking to his viewers on screen as I watched on until I noticed Maka approaching while she saw the cheesy telenovela playing in the background.

"He's saying that you're in grave danger, Sam," she said as she was sitting on the futon. "The Executive Division has been keeping tabs ever since your birth was foretold."

"You know Spanish, don't you?" I said.

"I've been knowing Spanish ever since Grandpa kept a lot of languages and other things in his hovel on Nekotani Island, which is south of Clavell Valley southern tip. He even talked about how he kept watching those silly telenovelas that were going on while living in exile back in the Elder Days."

"So you follow Spanish television programming, don't you?"

"Even though Grandpa's a member of the Order, he still hears it on his travels to and from our home on Nekotani Island. Even my parents and littermates watch it because they like the drama instead of watching sports."

"As for the latest programming that Gabriel's on, he's telling me a message."

"You've done your homework, but he's also aware of what those asshats are trying to accomplish after the Sol-1 blew up. He's also no stranger to dealing with trouble since the Apocalypse, but he's also adamant into bringing you and Reiko into the mold as the true saviors of this galaxy. Let's hope that you don't get swayed by those people who have no regard for life whatsoever. Grandpa has seen it before, Sam. He's seen it since he noticed your past self screwing up half the time, only to remain hopeful to sacrifice himself to save others. You're not just a hero, but you're becoming like a god in which we'll all pray to you and we'll get an answer soon enough."

It wasn't long until I saw Kazuo enter into my room as he was concerned about the situation that was going on so far. Still, he was not too thrilled to have me being watched constantly by the Executive Division as they would stop at nothing to get what they wanted, even if it meant by causing death to their enemies and the innocent. Hell was coming down as it was in one of the worst ways imaginable in which I could never get out of this danger soon enough alone.

"Ginryu called for an emergency meeting in one of the lounge rooms on the top floor," he said.

"Top floor?" I said.

"Bobby showed him everything that he and Maka caught. As for the situation about the Executive Division causing widespread havoc, there's no end, is there?"

"I'll see what he wants, but let's hope that there isn't any problems along the way."

I followed Kazuo as I noticed Maka skittering out of the room the moment I tagged along. When we went into the hall, we took the elevator to the top floor of the main house as we were ready to get word from Ginryu sooner or later. By the time we got there, we stepped out of the elevator as we went into the lounge room that was near the secret sanctuary room that Reiko and I once stayed in. It was a comfortable one, but I wasn't about to relish into the comfort yet as I sat down at the table the moment I noticed Ginryu sitting there on the other end with Reina in tow.

"Looks like you've changed slightly, Sam," I heard her say. "It's been six months since you defeated General Wetzel and stopped Project Apollo on the Sol-1."

"It's been a while, but the cats have did a little bird hunt," I said.

"The plethora of SIM-Tron chips that Bobby and little Maka collected have plenty of information that was well hidden until it was all found in a junk heap on Nekotani Island."

"The SIM-Tron chips are the worst so far, but they need to come to an end."

"According to Bobby, these brands of SIM-Tron chips have an older design on them before they were modified into the ones we know today," said Reina.

"You should take a good look at what was recovered, Sam," said Kazuo as he brought out a projector and inserted one of the SIM-Tron chips into it. "These were the first ones to be manufactured when the SIM-Tron Corporation was a highly successful security company. These days, the company is no more, but the Executive Division took all the chips and implanted them into their mechanical birds to spy on you."

It wasn't long until I saw Kazuo turn on the projector as it viewed the images of me as a young boy up until I was forced to live my life being on Gehenna all those years ago. I noticed the images of the bus stop that I once sat at as I noticed Reiko as a little girl sitting next to me. After that, I saw more images of my travels to other planets as they were memories that I had forgotten a long time ago until now. I was even in places that no one had ever dared to travel as I was more curious about what was beyond the castle walls here on Alecrast. The very images brought back memories for me as I was most likely to be visiting wherever I once went as I longed to do that again, but now wasn't the time due to what the war had wrought.

"This is Sam's travelling history before he was forced to live his life on Gehenna," said Ginryu.

"That's you as a little kid?" said Maka as she was looking at me.

"I was very young at the time, but I can't revisit the rest of these past memories right now," I said.

"And the places you went to? One of them was the island that has lots of Grandpa's relatives and reatainers there and they bring home the Meow Mix after all that hard work."

"And the Executive Division kept tabs on me this whole time?"

"General Wetzel was doing this the whole time after the end of the First Galvanic Uprising, Sam," said Reina. "Even though he was once loyal to the Alecrian Army, his lust and unquenchable thirst for the raw power that you were born with was more than enough to have him develop an unhealthy obsession to nab you against the wishes of your father and those in his inner circle. These old SIM-Tron chips that Bobby and Maka collected are more than enough to be used as evidence against the Executive Division and their allies in this ongoing war."

"And the evidence had been collected from a junk heap that hid them well before it was discovered recently," said Ginryu. "For the record, you've been tracked this whole time, but in the long run, you may not like being under exile over the years on Gehenna, but the mechanical birds haven't reached there because I didn't want them to do so until you were seen in one of the domed cities there." I see the images of myself of almost three years ago coming as it showed me coming out of Devi's Kitchen with Shigeru in tow. "The mechanical birds were watching your every move, but if I haven't dispatched Colchuvar to get you, you would've been captured by the Executive Division and their cronies by now."

"It's a godsend that you did or else I wouldn't be here today," I said. "Luckily, I was saved from the brink after Sylvanus banished me before the Wendigo attack, only to be returned to the fold. It's a miracle that everyone has stayed the course to get me back on my heels, but the Executive Division is still out there and waiting to strike. Perhaps having a bodyguard is more preferrable on the field than the squatters."

"We've got a problem," said a familiar face as he entered into the room.

It was Kevin as he was dressed in arctic gear in which he had something in his hands. By the time he set it on the table, he unveiled it as it was none other than another fragment of a Word of God tablet, but it was white and different due to its design that was similar to the one I found on Shiganshina. The sight of it showed me what the Destiny of Worlds could accomplish as it was a sign of what was there to come. It wasn't long until I saw Ginryu unveil the other part that I found as he set it on the table next to the fragment that Kevin found. On a whim, I decided to put them together as I saw them come whole into one in which it began to glow. The power of it filtered my brain as I saw the many languages being seen in front of my eyes. The presence of both Old High Speech, Enochian, and Draaza language became clear as I became more aware of my true purpose to lead the way to the galaxy's golden age as planned.

"The Destiny of Worlds will soon be realized," I said as I had an aura glowing all around me.

"Sam, you're glowing," said Kevin.

"I can't stop this… The languages of old are now in me!"

The power of completing the Destiny of Worlds tablet became to overwhelm me as the raw power that I had began to surge out of control. It was all too much for me as the surge of my raw power blew a hole in the ceiling. By the time I became exhausted, I fell to my knees as I was panting very fast with my heart pounding in full panic mode. Even though the raw power I had became more intense, I never expected it to be godlike until now as I was trying hard to get up on my feet, but it was all for nothing due to the exhaustion.

"You blew a hole in the ceiling again, Sam," said Reina as she saw the fresh snow falling from the sky. "Still, you have a habit into doing so, but not like this."

"There goes the neighborhood…," said Kevin as he noticed the ceiling begin to fix itself up.

"It's getting cold," I said as I felt the chill in the air enter from above.

"I'll alert Kazuo immediately," said Ginryu. "It's high time that you need some rest after what you exhibited earlier."

Without warning, I fainted on the floor as the exhaustion got the better of me. Still, the raw power that I had was a calling to many things to come as it was also something that attracted unwanted attention from my enemies. It was both hell and a comfort for me, but I had to strive for more as the time to stop the Executive Division was just the start of my worries so far…

I woke up in a hospital room as I sat up and looked at the fresh snow coming from outside. After feeling the pinch of the raw power that I had, I had a gut feeling that Kazuo would show up eventually and give me a stern lecture as I didn't want to deal with it right now. Even though I was exhausted from what I suffered from, I couldn't ignore my duties as I had to tend to the children until I heard the door opening up. I was expecting yet another bout of Kazuo coming until I saw Kevin entering into the room. He was concerned about my health as he couldn't forget about the surge of raw power that I had earlier, for this was something that could never be ignored, no matter what was told.

"You look like crap," he said as he sat down in a chair next to my hospital bed.

"After completing the puzzle, I'm beat," I answered as I coughed until I grabbed a tissue and pressed it against my mouth. "Now that the Destiny of Worlds tablet is complete, we have the other Word of God tablet fragments to find."

"Actually, there's a summit in five days and it's being held at the Order's main headquarters on Drakonus. I know that Dean's out on the battlefield, but he's not the type to abandon his fellow comrades yet."

"That's comforting to hear, but too much comes and goes around the castle since the main headquarters here was destroyed six months ago."

"Dean's still pissed that Ginryu's base of operations got trashed, but at least the old ancient archives and relics were saved before it got completely ruined. As for the tablet that was formed, we both know the languages that come and go from it."

"Well, your past self was a prophet until he lost his life in the Elder Days..."

"Don't remind me… Still, I can read the language with my eyes, but at least they're enhanced since the Gale Canyon incident almost two years ago. Even though most of us in the Order here lost our home, but not our dignity or duty. We are here to keep the peace and protect the innocent from danger and that's what we do, isn't it?"

I continued to cough as I wiped the mouth with the tissue in my hand. By the time I saw blood on it, I was concerned as I had a feeling that my overexertion of the raw power that I had would get the better of me sooner or later. When I was about to throw it away in the wastebasket next to my bed, I saw Kazuo entering as he caught it in time and placed it into a small plastic bag as evidence. Like any member of the Medical Corps, he wasn't about to let me off the hook as he was concerned about my overall health that was a hot-button issue for me.

"You overdid it again, didn't you, Sam?" he told me.

"I never meant do to begin with," I said as I laid back down in my bed.

"As of now, you need rest; is that clear?"

"All I get is rest, but I can't leave the familial duties on the back burner."

"Cynthia is here and so are those that are related in your family. You're a lot of things, but you're not Superman in this day and age."

"Zia and Zoran were born two weeks ago and the older set are having their second birthday in three days. I can't skip a single milestone after all that has happened."

"A single milestone? What about your health, Sam?" said Kevin as he wasn't about to let me off the hook just yet. "You do a lot of things while worrying about the rest of us, but it's about time that you worry about yourself for a little bit. We're all here to tend to the kids and household. Even Magda was brought here because she's expecting the moment she got a bun in the oven."

"I saw the picture of the cowboy boots..."

"That's not the point here, Sam," said Kazuo. "You know what's at stake and it's not a joke or a debate, either. Right now, you are in dire need of both rest and protection in which the Executive Division aren't about to let up just yet. Our allies are fighting off against Julilla's forces and those from the Toller Family's second branch in which we can't just ignore their dangerous presence nor your safety. After what you went through, you're spending the rest of the month in bed, you got that? I know that you want Reiko to rest up after giving birth, but she's also strong at heart due to her kind nature. And another thing, you shouldn't underestimate the greatness of what a wife and mother can do because she's not only there to look after the children and prepare meals. She's there as both your sword and shield in times of crisis. She's also there to make sure that you don't suffer in dangerous waters in which you need all the love and support you can get, are we good?"

I didn't say another word as I saw Kevin and Kazuo leave before closing the door behind them. Once again, I was alone as I was staring at the fresh snow still blowing from outside the window in the bitter cold. By the time I was about to fall asleep again, I heard the television screen turn again as I heard the usual Mariachi music playing in the background. As usual, I noticed Gabriel in the same cheesy Mexican garb dancing in front of scantily-clad women until I saw something interrupt the programming that was on the station on screen.

"This is a special report from the Intergalactic News Service," said an announcer on t.v.

"We got word on Claudius that a suicide bomber destroyed a district in the town of Tetra Novari, which is near the city of New Capua," said a newscaster on t.v. "Over thirty-three people were killed at a nightclub in which the bomber was described as a little girl with blond hair, blue eyes, and porcelain skin, which is similar to the enemy soldiers that were once created by Darbus Toller. We are going live at the scene in which the our reporter is giving the latest details so far."

"We are here where the nightclub was blown up in which several eyewitnesses saw a man encased in diamond rushed in to get the remaining survivors out of the building the moment it was ready to collapse." An image flashes on screen as I see a figure in the description that the reporter mentioned on screen with the usual imprint of raw power from its chest. "The diamond hero who rushed in and saved the remaining people there is none other than Dean Winchester who appeared in that form earlier."

My heart sank as I saw my brother there unscathed in which I had a gut feeling that there would be hell coming. As for the war that was still going, it wasn't about to go away quietly as the Second Galvanic Uprising was in the lowest form of danger that the Executive Division had enacted, for their wrath was ongoing, but we had to prepare for what was yet to come so far…

To be continued...
