32. Ash's Reborn Story

Chapter 106 Family Reunion

Ash is having a hard time processing what he has done when he was being controlled by the PULSE Hypno, and he can't believe he managed to do a 6 vs. 36 with his own victory as well.

Delia: And here we are. I don't know by what means or madness Shade pulled you back into this world, but it appears you have business that you are not yet permitted to quit. If I may be so bold, how was it on your end that you managed to return?

Ash: Luna...she showed me the way, and then Shade brought me out there.

Serra: Luna did? Then...

Radomus: It seems there are still miracles that defy our understanding. Will you still hold your wounds close, Miss Voclain?

Serra: I don't know what to count on anymore. Maybe nothing.

Radomus: Now you're getting it. Let us presume to hope she will be back one day. After all, you never know who will stroll through the door next. Everyone is always coming and going, and coming right back.

Just then, Anna and Noel rush into the room, and Anna quickly rushes toward Ash and gives him a hug.

Anna: Ash, you made it back~ Not that I doubted Nostra or anything!

Serra: Where did these kids come from?

Anna: Mom! Good to see you again!

Delia: How are you two, Noel? Anna?

Noel: We're doing fine, Mother.

Anna: (Notices Serra) Ohmigod! Are you okay?! What happened?!

Serra: (Confused) I'm... sorry?

Anna: Those cracks all over your skin- do you need help!?

Serra: On my... skin? Am I getting wrinkles again...

Anna: No, not wrinkles! Cracks! See, all over here, and here, and here- (Points at the spots, but Serra can't see it)

Serra: I... don't?

Noel: Don't worry about it. She always sees things other people don't.

Serra: That seems safe.

Anna: It's not always! Geez!

Delia: But you two have some explaining to do, I know Ash is here for Team Meteor, but what are you two doing here? This isn't the place for the both of you to come.

Anna: Nu-uh! If this wasn't a place for children, then why would we be here?

Noel: (Turns to Radomus, who has been looking away) We're here for him.

Anna: Yup! Nostra made us sleep so that that poor Hypno couldn't! And then we came to meet him! (Walks to Radomus) Hi! Cute hat! Have you been crying?

Radomus: Not anymore. You really are just like her. Come here.

Then Radomus hug both Noel and Anna, but Serena and Lillie seem to be confused.

Ash: Oh, I haven't told you, this is Noel and Anna, they are my younger brother and sister. Blood-related.

Serena: Seriously? You have siblings?

Anna: What, like everyone didn't see that coming!

Lillie: ...Yeah, Ash didn't mention that to us, and we didn't know you exist...
