Effect: The Next Generation [✔️]

▹18◃

Jeongho continued to fight with his father, but he wasn't giving it his all.

He was caught off guard multiple times, but Star Platinum successfully protected him every time.

"Just who are you trying to fool?"

Jeno suddenly spoke as they fought.

"W-What??"

"Do you think that this will make up for what you've done? You had your chance to spend time with me and accept my love, but all you've done is turn me and my affections down"

"Dad..."

"So now you want to address me as your father? Don't stop pushing me away now just because you're scared of me"

The more Jeno spoke, the more Jeongho started to get upset and began losing focus.

Not even a few minutes later, Jeno managed to knock him down and threw his weapon away from him. He pinned him down and Jeongho thought that he was going to kill him, but Jeno only snickered and got off of him.

"Pathetic. You can't save anyone. You can't even save me. You'll never be a hero, even if you really wanted to. And you'll never be my hero. Just stay out of our way, and don't show your pathetic face to me again"

Jeno pulled out a small purple orb, and threw it to the ground to create a portal a few feet away from them.

Jeno turned to walk to the portal, and Jeongho began to panic.

"Dad... P-Please wait..."

"And stop calling me that. If you didn't treat and acknowledge me as your father before, then why should I treat and acknowledge you as my son now?"

Jeno frowned.

"...Please. I need you..."

Jeongho pleaded, looking up at him from the ground.

Jeno ignored him, and turned his back to him once more.

In that split second, Jeongho became both scared and angry. He was scared of Jeno leaving him again and him failing to save his father, and he was angry that the earring was making Jeno say these things that he knows that he doesn't mean.

"Don't leave me again..."

Jeno ignored him.

"P-Please... Don't leave..."

Jeno continued to ignore him.

"D-Dad, p-please... DON'T LEAVE ME AGAIN!!"

Jeongho quickly got up and ran towards Jeno, and for the first time in years, he used Star Platinum: The World.

Time immediately stopped, preventing Jeno from reaching the portal, and Star Platinum wasted no time and attacked him.
