Luminary

Episode 51 - The Guardian of Heart Pt 1

Allen: Are you sure...?

Jade: I am.

In one side of the Hangar, Allen, Luiz, Leo, Paris, Nana, Delph and Hanji.

On the other side, ready to take off, Jade, Flora, Harper and Emily.

Jade: I'm going to find my brother. Period.

Leo: I don't like this. Fusing you with him is exactly what the Excellar wants.

Nana: We really can't go with them...?

Luiz: We are in an honor battle, leaving the country will count as conceding.

Hanji: Not even me?

Luiz: All guardians must stay together.

Jade seemed more sure of herself, more determined, more focused, like a complete part of her personality just woke up along with the lost memories that returned. She kissed Allen, without any hesitation and left with the other girls.

Jade: When you guys finish this competition, we will meet again.

They all entered the plane and took off, leaving the guardians looking at the sky, speechless.

Hanji: Hopefully she knows what she's doing...

All guardians get angry phone calls from their mentors.

Leo: It's training time.

Paris: Even Hanji has to go? She already won her battle.

Luiz: I wouldn't refuse some extra training if I were her. The North America operation will start right after this honor battle end and we'll need all the help we can get.

Delph: You ok there, champ?

Allen: I'm... I'm fine...

Delph: You matured a lot, you know..

Allen: What...?

Delph: Normally you would make a fuss about Jade being alone, your mission and shit.

Allen: I trust her. I know she will be alright. Besides, Harper and Emily aren't pushovers, plus a permafusion is going along.

Delph: What's that? What did you say?

Allen: That a perma--

Delph: No, the first phrase.

Allen: I trust Jade.

Delph: There. Took you long enough.

Hanji: Let's get to training. I'm sure they will be fine.

Luiz: Hey, what's on your mind.

Nana: Nothing much, just, you know, tonight's my turn and I haven't been recognized as Guardian yet.

Luiz: I see...

He holds her hand.

Luiz: But I'm sure you'll do fine.

Nana: I don't know, I think that no one believes I'm really fit for that...

Luiz: I believe in you.

She blushes a little.

Nana: I hate how you always get the last word... Always having something cool to say on your sleeve.

Luiz: Idiot.

Nana: Asshole.

Nana opened her wings and flew to a distant place in the mountains, landing on an old abandoned shrine. Wildflower blooms in the old peaceful training grounds, she sees her mentor, Ki, standing with his fists clenching, meditating of sorts.
