Tales of the Multiverse Bit 124

What the fuck should we do with this?

After the suspicious-looking mad scientist handed the Heel-Face Turn Blastah to Buccaneer "Buckles" Murphy, Gillian "Gill" Norman, Akatora Tsujimiya and the Creepy Guy, the boys decided to make their way back to the Training Camp.

~~000~~

After a grueling twenty six hours of travelling via plane ride, Aria "Arinah" Sakurada, Marcus "The Kane" McGee and Eddy Skipper McGee finally arrived in the Sakurada Kingdom.

The kingdom would appear at first as an ordinary modern day city with a town nearby if it weren't for the large castle seen at the distance.

Walking around the airport while carrying their belongings, Marcus and Eddy took the time to look around while Arinah made a phone call.

Eddy then turns to his adopted brother, "Nervous?'' he asked.

Marcus took a sip of his soda before answering, "I'm going to meet the family that I haven't seen and forgotten for a long time." he said, "I'm excited but nervous at the same time." he admitted.

"You're 'nervicited'!" Eddy pointed out, "It's like you wanna jump up and down saying 'hell yeah!'.'' he described, "But you also wanna curl up in a teeny-tiny ball and hide at the same time!" he added, "We've all been there!" he claimed with a grin.

Marcus place a whole hand on Eddy's face and then pushing his aside, "Man, fuck off." he said with Eddy chuckling in response.

Arinah walks back to the two, "I just called home." she shared, "I just told them that I have arrive and a car will come and pick us up in a few minutes." she explained.

"Have you told them about me?'' Marcus inquired

Arinah shook her head, "Not yet." she answered, "I want to surprise them." she reasoned.

Marcus facefaulted in response, "I got a feeling that ain't gonna go well for me." he grumbled.

A few minutes later, we see the trio walking around outside the airport and much to Marcus and Eddy's surprise, a long white car and a few SPs were waiting for them.

An older SP approaches them, "Princess Aria." he greeted with a bow, "As you requested, we we're task to pick you up." he announced before noticing the two males behind him, "Princess, who are these two boys?'' he questioned when his eyes widen in shock when he recognized Marcus, "Wait a minute!" he uttered in shock, "Is he the missing prince?" he pointed out, "Prince Marcus!" he exclaimed.

Arinah smiled in response, "Hai! I finally found him!" she confirmed.

An hour later after leaving the airport, Marcus, Eddy and Arinah are now sitting inside the limo, and the two boys sitting rather behavely with dumbfounded expressions while Arinah kept a smile on her face.

"This is marvelous.'' the older SP commented while on the wheel, "Not only that our highness will be delighted by your visit, they'll be happy to see their missing son after so long.'' he said in joy.

Arinah giggled, "They will sure do." she said in agreement, "Unfortunately, Marcus lost his memories about us but I believe meeting the rest of the family might be able to help him remember things even a little." she explained.

"I see..." the older SP uttered, "Then I pray that everything works.'' he expressed.

"Thank you very much.'' Arinah replied with a smile.

"So, you're family live in some sort of castle?'' Eddy assumed.

Arinah shook her head, "Unfortunately, Eddy, no." she answered, "We do have a castle but we don't live there." she shared, "We the Sakurada acts like a typical average middle-class family and live in a two-floored flat in the suburbs." she explained.

"Despite being a royalty, your father wants his children to live a normal life as possible in a normal household." the older SP added.

Marcus whistled in amusement, "A king who wants his family to live a normal life." he mused, "Now that's the type of king that I aimed to be!" he admitted.

Arinah giggled in response, "You and your king jokes.'' she mused.

"Why do I get the feeling that I'm the one whose going to be a king?" Eddy shared.

The limousine then stopped in front of a two-floor house behind a bricked fence and a black steel gate, and around the yard are various small trees including a Sakura tree and few more plants.

Marcus, Eddy and Arinah then got off the car with the boys looking around in awe, "Woah..." the blue-haired lad uttered in awe, "I used to live here?'' he asked.

Arinah nodded, "Hai!" she confirmed.

Eddy took a picture of the house using his phone, "Wow..." he uttered, "... it's a pretty nice place to live!" he commented.

Arinah then turns to Marcus, "Shall we go meet everyone?'' she beckoned.

Marcus took a deep breath before bringing out a hand mirror while checking his face, he let's out a flirty grin with his teeth sparkling in response, "Okay! Let's do this!" he declared in determination.

"Welp! You guys go ahead and meet your family, I'll go help the SPs with our bags." Eddy said before walking back to the limousine.

"Are you sure Eddy?'' Arinah asked.

"Yup!" Eddy confirmed.

The brother and sister looks at each other for a minute before proceeding to walk towards the front door where Arinah used a key open the door.

And upon entering, the two stood at the entrance hall when Arinah spoke, "I'm home!" she called out.

"Aria? Is that you?" a voice replied when a young woman came out from a door, "Welcome home Aria, we've been expect-" she was saying but stopped when she saw the person behind Aria.

The young woman of an average build and a light complexion, she had a long-straight royal blue hair with some strands of hair hanging between her blue-colored eyes with her fringe parted most to the right and her hair falls freely down to her lower back. She wears a white long-sleeve shirt, beige shorts with a ribbon and red slippers. This is Aoi Sakurada.

Arinah smiled at her, "Aoi, I found him, our brother, Marcus.'' she uttered.

"Uhm..." Marcus uttered, "Hi?" he greeted nervously.

Suddenly, Aoi jumps towards Marcus and quickly engulfs him with a tight embrace which caught him by surprise.

"Marcus..." Aoi sobbed, "You... you came back..." she uttered, "... you're finally back..." she whispered, "We we're so worried about you...'' she cried.

"Uhm..." Marcus uttered, "I'm... I'm sorry...'' he apologized.

"Don't be..." Aoi uttered while tearing up, "... it's not your fault...'' she reassured, "I'm just happy that you're back!" she admitted.

Then a teenage girl ran out from the same door, "What's wrong Aoi?" she called out, "We suddenly heard you crying?'' she asked but only to freeze upon seeing Marcus.

The girl had an average height and a petite frame, she had a fair complexion, she had a waist-length deep-red hair tied into low twin-tails with white ribbons at each side and she had red-colored eyes. She wears a white hoodie, red shorts and slippers. This is Akane Sakurada.

"Akane!" another teenage girl came out from the door, "Why did you suddenly stop?" she asked when her eyes widen upon setting sights on Marcus.

Then a teenage boy came out from the door, "Oi! What's so surprising that you stopped moving?'' he asked but only to froze as well when he saw Marcus.

The boy is quite tall, he had a fair complexion and a lean build, he had a short black hair which is slightly spiked and reaches down to his neck, and he had medium blue-colored eyes. He wears a blue-grey sweatshirt, blue jogging pants and slippers. This is Shuu Sakurada, the older twin brother of Kanade.

"Hold on?!" Marcus squawked in disbelief, "What kind of routine is?!" he complained, "Are they all gonna do is appear, ask and freeze?" he questioned, "And by the way, how many siblings do we have again?" he asked, "You forgot to tell me.'' he reminded with Arinah giggling in response, "Oi! That giggle is hardly an answer!" he complained.

And with that, the three siblings ran forward and joined Aoi in hugging Marcus.

"You're back! Baka! Baka! Baka!" Akane cried out.

"You idiot! Making us worry for years!" Kanade exclaimed.

"I'm so punching you in the face right now!" Shuu threatened.

"HOOWAAHAW!" Marcus hollered in disbelief, "I sooooooooo feel the love!" he shouted out sarcastically.

Then suddenly five more figures, three of them are children, ran out of the room and just like the first four, they froze upon setting sights on Marcus, much to his bewilderment and annoyance.

The first figure is a teenage girl with a fair complexion, she had an average build and height, she had a straight baby-pink colored hair tied in a high pony tail by a black hair clip and she had a bright green-colored eyes. She wears a yellow blouse, green shorts and slippers. This is Misaki Sakurada.

And without hesitation, the remaining siblings ran forward and joined their older siblings in hugging Marcus.

"It's our brother everyone! It's our brother everyone!" Misaki cried out.

"Is it true? He's back! He's back!" Haruka exclaimed in delight.

"Welcome home! Welcome home big brother!" Hikari cried in joy.

"Anue! Welcome back!" Teru cheered.

"Oniichan, oniichan...'' Shiori sobbed.

Marcus facefaulted in response, "Okay..." he uttered, "... now I really feel the love.'' he grumbled before turning to Arinah, "Again I need to ask!" he demanded, "How many siblings do we have again?!" he questioned.

And finally out came two adults, "What's going on everyone?'' a woman asked but she froze, alongside the man, once they saw Marcus.

The female adult had a fair complexion and a youthful appearance, she had a shoulder-length pale orange hair that is tied in a piece of her hair into a bun in the back with bangs swept to the left side and she had orange-colored eyes. She wears a light blue shirt, a long beige-colored skirt, a pink apron and slippers. This is Satsuki Sakurada, the matriarch of the Sakurada Family.

The Queen of Sakurada Kingdom

Satsuki Sakurada

The male adult is a tall man with broad shoulders, he had a short-slightly spiked black hair, he had black-colored eyes and had a little beard & light wrinkles under his eyes. He wears a white long-sleeve sweater over a blue shirt, black pants and slippers. This is Souichirou Sakurada, Satsuki's husband and the patriarch of the Sakurada Family.

The King of Sakurada Kingdom

Souichirou Sakurada

"Marcus...'' Satsuki gasped in shock.

"My son...'' Souichirou muttered.

"You know what..." Marcus uttered with a blank look, "I'll just keep my mouth shut and let them hug me as much they want.'' he conceded.

The siblings then let's go of Marcus and let their parents hug him.

"Marcus... our boy... you're back...'' Souichirou muttered while hugging him tightly.

"I'm so glad..." Satsuki sobbed, "I'm so glad that you're back..." she cried while embracing him tightly like her life depends on it.

Marcus' eyes widen in surprise, much like the McGee Family, the Heroes Coalitions and Malvina Rasputin, the warmth and love they're giving him was so overwhelming that he had no words to say.

The only thing he can do is to hug them back, "I'm... home..." he uttered softly.

The parents and the siblings including Arinah looks at him with a smile, "Welcome home!" they greeted.

Outside the house, we see Eddy alongside the SPs, listening to their touching reunion with Marcus' adopted brother crying uncontrollably.

One SP handed Eddy a handkerchief which he gladly took and began to wipe his tears, he was about to blow on it but he realized it belongs to the SP, so he casually return it with a horse-like grin on his face.

Later that day, we see everyone, including Eddy, gathered inside the living area where Arinah explained to everyone that Marcus doesn't remember anything, much to everyone's shock and dismay however they we're confident that his visit might help him get his memories back.

They we're amazed that Marcus is the leader of his hero group and one of it's top heroes(though Marcus had no idea about the last part), though they we're bewildered by his change of personality because according to Aoi, Marcus used to be a sweet, gentle and polite boy which he finds it extremely cringe worthy.

Arinah then introduced Eddy to everyone as Marcus' adopted brother.

"We can't thank your family enough for taking care of our son.'' Satsuki said in gratitude.

"Is there anything we could do to repay your family for showing kindness towards Marcus?'' Souichirou offered.

Eddy waves his hands, "No that's fine..." he reassured, "I'm just happy that Marcus is finally reunited with his family.'' he admitted with a smile.

Souichirou smiled at him, "Eddy..." he uttered, "Anyone who becomes Marcus' brother is welcome in this family." he declared, "As much as we love to catch up with Marcus, we look forward in getting along with you.'' he admitted

Eddy stares at him in surprise before speaking, "Umm..." he uttered while rubbing the back of his head, "Thank you.'' he said rather shyly.

"Nee! Aria-neechan said that you're a hero!" Hikari mentioned in excitement.

"Well, I do work in the Heroes Coalitions, '' Marcus confirmed before turning to Arinah, "By the way, how did I become a top hero?'' he questioned in disbelief.

"Johnny Nowinski did a poll recently of the top ten heroes in the Heroes Coalitions." Eddy answered before showing a website from his tablet, "And you ranked #4.'' he pointed out.

Marcus looks at the tablet alongside the rest of the siblings. On the poll, Mirage Argente is ranked #1, Eugenie Ramstein ranked #2, Naruto Uzumaki ranked #3, Marcus "The Kane" McGee ranked #4, Darren Cross ranked #5, Asuka Tanaka ranked #6, Randall Crimson Argente ranked #7, Dan Mandel ranked #8, Erza Scarlet ranked #9 and Rawberry Marmalade ranked #10.

"What the hell is this?!" Marcus squawked in disbelief, "Why no one told me about this?!" he questioned, "How come I ranked number 4?!" he furthered, "By the way, how did Dan get ranked number 8?!" he asked, "What the heck the staff think about this?!" he added.

"They officially approved it!" Arinah answered with a thumbs-up.

"What the hell are they thinking?!" Marcus questioned in annoyance, "That Johnny..." he growled, "He's really gonna get it the next time he shows his face in front of me!" he exclaimed before looking at the poll once more and noticed someone missing, "Oi! Where's Kazeyoshi?" he asked, "I expected him to be the top hero but I don't see his name anywhere." he stated.

"He asked for his name to be removed from the poll." Eddy answered with a blank look.

"Lucky son of a gun." Marcus grumbled.

"What's wrong?" Hikari asked, "Aren't you glad that you're popular?'' she pointed out.

"I didn't take this profession for popularity." Marcus answered, "I rather stay obscure from the public eye." he reasoned.

Suddenly, Akane grabs Marcus' hands, much to his surprise, "A comrade!" she cheered.

"Comrade?'' Marcus uttered in confusion.

"Akane also doesn't like getting attention.'' Aoi answered

"I see..." Marcus uttered, "Wanna form the No Attention Club with me?'' he offered rather bluntly.

"Don't you two dare!" Kanade warned.

Satsuki then placed a cup of tea in front of Marcus, "I think there's nothing wrong getting a few recognition, it just proves that people like you.'' she reasoned.

Marcus sighed, "You think..." he uttered before grabbing the cup, "This smells good." he complimented, "I'm more of a coffee dude but I can't help but like the smell of this tea." he admitted.

"It's Rose Gourmet." Satsuki revealed with a smile.

"No wonder it tastes good." Marcus mused before taking a sip when he suddenly froze and his eyes widen as numerous flashes began to appear in his mind.

Everyone noticed this and got them all worried, "Marcus, what's wrong?'' Arinah asked.

Marcus is silent for an entire minute before shaking his head, the blue-haired lad then looks up to everyone with a delighted look, "I-I finally remember...'' he uttered with a faint laughter, "I-I finally remember who I really am..." he claimed, "I'm..." he uttered, "I'm Marcus Alexander Sakurada!" he declared with a big smile.

"I had to know where you bought that tea?" Eddy requested.
