Azura's POV
"32." Ricardo responds. "See so that does make sense that we were reborn at different times because I'm 28. 4 years younger than you." I tell Ricardo. "Now here is what I'm confused about...if we were reborn after our time in hell ended, then how come Ruby, Luca, and Bora saved me from the grasp of the electric chair?" He asks me. "My eyes widen and I look at him. "Hang on....they what?" "They put me in an electric chair and they just about shocked me to death."  Ricardo replies and takes his shirt off to show me scars and deepened wounds from the electric chair that happened years ago. "Wow...who did this to you?" He rolls his eyes. "Malak and his hell-spawn of a daughter. A long time ago." I growl silently. "They really are selfish and evil beings..." I reply while running my finger along his chest scar. "In reality though, it could be a result of PTSD maybe of like a dream. Maybe because they have tortured you so much, it's possible that this was a dream of being scared of them torturing you and maybe you might have sleep walked, hurting yourself without knowing." I say not too positive of that answer. He shakes his head no. "If that were a dream and I were sleep walking, how would I have caused marks like this?...." "Thats a good point. Just thought that could be a possible cause. Hey wait a minute....I think I found the answer to your problem....what if...your part of hell was still continued to where you WERE getting electrocuted but then when Ruby and the others rescued you...your own hell was still going on. Like...what if it has still continued on?" Ricardo scoffs and shakes his head. "That's not possible. If that were possible, wouldn't I still be depressed and miserable like I was back then? I mean, I feel great. I have a fiancé, I have a big family, I'm king, my son Pedro is living with me and not that fiend, and I mean....it's not like I'm poor. I have food, shelter, clothing, and I can socialize with others. Plus, mind you, I'm creating my own band. So that's perfect for me. Also, you do know that us monkeys and other primates require socialization?" Ricardo asks me. I nod. "What is the genre and name of the band?" I ask in curiosity. "Our band name is Sepa and the genre is death/progressive metal." He responds. "Hah, that's cool! My favorite genre is grunge but, some heavy metal is cool!" I say. He nods and smiles. "Rite on. You know....I have missed ya." The king says to me. I smile. "Really? I'm flattered to hear that at least you and Sirius missed me." He puts his hand on my shoulder. "Well, wait till Angie sees ya." I smile and I head out of my den with Ricardo to see my final long lost brother, Angelo.

20 minutes later
Angelo's POV
Hah, wow. It's so nice to see Azura again. Apparently Sirius and Azura were living with the other primates here before Ricardo and I found out about this! All 4 of us end up reuniting together and we all go to Amazonia to have a good time and talk about past lives.

Ricardo's POV
Wow, its so exciting to be reunited...all four of us monkeys again that is. All us brothers once gone and lost.... to reunited and found. Everything ends up fine and all but one secret lingers down deep inside me. When Azura talked to me about getting electrocuted was most likely a dream....well....it wasn't. It was for sure reality. But the sad truth is....when Ruby, Luca, and Bora saved me then brought me back to the Amazon forest....my 2nd life started....yet it skipped 20 years. So I didn't even get to see myself when I was young. It just skipped to when I got saved yet I was still being hunted down by Agatha's father, Malak. The one thing I definitely don't understand....is that I can remember my past events to when I was first born a 2nd time as a youth to when I was 13 then 20....yet I don't even remember actually living up to those ages. It's so odd that I remember nothing but at the same time remember everything. The only thing I know is....my life starts now. No more running....no more hiding....whatever comes my....o-our way that is....we will stand and fight if any threat comes to us. "Hey, Ricardo?" I look over to see Sirius grab my hand. "It's definitely good to see you again. No matter all this bullshit we had to live through in the past. Feels good to be with my 3 brothers. I will say....I hate to say it but...I think while the four of us were in purgatory... somehow out of the four of us, you had the intelligence while us 3 on the other hand...were too stupid to even realize our own ABC's." He says then laughs. "You think?" He says and pats my back. I run my hand on my chin then smile. "Well....if anything....I do remember me doing most of the thinking, cleaning, AND taking care of you 3. So, I can't say I disagree with that statement." I say then unzip my jacket while my grin turns to a side eye. He punches my shoulder hard but playful. "Hey now, that's not very friendly to say now is it?" I throw my head back and chuckle. "You just dug a hole for yourself, Sirius. You brought it up yourself, hmm?" He scratches the back of his head and smiles at me. "Yeah, hah. I kinda ran into that one. But at least one of us had some kind of intelligence right?" I nod.

Azura's POV
After 20 minutes of all 4 of us just talking and hanging out, we then leave and go back to our home, the Amazon forest. We all head to bed for how late it is, the time being 12:00 a.m, and I wish the others a goodnight as I head to my den and sleep.
