The Fallen Rises, Original Storyline

Chapter 10 Happy reunion?

On sunrise, Jordan and his friends went back home but Ven and Apollo just sat on the mountain together watching the sun. Before he said anything, Ven apologized first. Apollo apologized back. Until then they both shake hands and became friends once again. 

Jordan was the first one to go back home. He later froze when he saw his own father by the front door of his house. He wasn't happy to see him after all these years living with a lie. Hoku had a hard time greeting him with open arms. 

Jordan refused to greet him back and instantly walks away without from him a word. Back at the mother ship Commander HexaCrom check the coordinates on the star map to locate the guardians. Fuyu witnessed the empires next hunt, which is on Plantroph. HexaCrom contact Galaxia and Hunter on the hologram to call for help "General, Ma'am, I found their location just right in the village" Fuyu overheard their conversation and slowly her Aura flows and attempts to kill him without hesitation until. "Call of the hunt and erase that location you found before The Eldest knew" Hunter ordered "and why should I do that" he doubted. 

Fuyu then chose to listen instead. Just now HexaCrom's conversation with them ended with Hunter's a reminder "He's the mastermind behind all this, the war that happened a very long time ago. Just keep the prisoners safe and don't let him in!" Hoku sat on the bench with Carla having a parental discussion "I came to spend some quality time with them, but it seems that they changed a lot ever since I left them" Hoku realized. 

Carla believed that there's still time for them to talk so she walks to Jordan's room and convinced him to spend with his father. Jordan turns back at first but changes his mind in just 1 minute just so he could make it up for lost time, he talks to Hoku while walking into the forest. In a place called the Afterlife a person in a hood walks straight to a mysterious shadow figure who was meditating, then he bows down "Master" as he called to him, he was nervous by a shadow figure's heavy breathing, and starts shaking. He tried acting tough and he said, "The Eldest wants to see you" The shadow figure was interested with the news he brought to him, so he said in a gentle voice "Good. I have news for him as well" The man in a hood pulled the lever which opens the door for The Eldest.

Meanwhile in the opening, Hoku, Jordan and Emily walked into the forest where they sat down the log to have a talk. Both his children are not thrilled about his arrival. Hoku had to make up for lost time, but he just didn't know how to do that, it is until he noticed how much Jordan thinks highly of his fallen master Ashura Kage. So, he clears his throat and starts slowing in speaking to his son "So, Jordan. I uh, see that you thought highly of your old master." It caught Jordan's attention like he's going to ask what exactly he knows about Ashura, Hoku continued "He is one of a few legendary guardians I admire. Known for his expertise in weaponry and combat. He is also a wise leader, something I'm not during my days."

Jordan was even more confused about Hoku telling a story more than Ashura being in it alone, not to mention he had just recently met his father, which he was eager to meet until the moment he thought he had abandoned him. "What are you telling us dad? I already know the story about my master."

"Only what he told you that is. Come with me, I want to show you two something, something, I cannot show Apollo." Then Hoku stands up and walks further in the forest, both Jordan and Emily looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and get up to follow their father. One day they found him outside the forest standing in front of a lake and walk towards him. Hoku turned around to see his children and speak to them "Try concentrating all your energy to perform the whispering mist. Sit down, close your eyes, calm your mind, and meditate." Hoku instructed them the things he advice to Jordan and Emily, and they followed. Hoku sat down as well and meditated. Suddenly Emily and Jordan felt an ache in their heads, a disturbing headache, a kind that forces bad memories to appear inside.

Jordan felt pain mentally, the memories shown in his head slide from one picture to another, it hurt him badly, so painfully that he opened his eyes and stopped meditating.

Emily immediately realizes this and quickly goes to check up on her brother, worried that he is badly injured "Are you okay?"

"Nah." Jordan groaned "I'm good. I just can't seem to get this right."

Hoku was next to check on him and out of notice, embraces him with open arms "Let's try again, shall we?"

Hoku and Jordan went back to meditating on the grass fields only this time his father is there to help him, to teach him focus, and how to calm the mind while Jordan's aura flows through meditating, Hoku explains his lessons.

"Jordan, my son. you're mind controls all the parts and organisms in your body, but it also controls all of your thoughts and feelings. To overcome self-conflict, one must learn to handle problems that may harm your physical health, mental health, and spiritual health. Meditating is a way to help calm a person therefore controlling one's energy within, but this activity you are doing will need your help as much as you need it. Control your strong emotions, by wiping away all distracting thoughts. Do this and your energy will flow gently like the waters."

Jordan followed all of Hoku's instructions but still had difficulty in applying the lessons. His father however helps him get through with the training and because of him, Jordan was able to combat the bad thoughts inside of himself and his aura begins to flow from rapid burning, to slow and smooth body of water. Emily sat next to Jordan as she watches.

Hoku and Jordan watches the sun as it sets, they had time talking to each other, but one night Jordan wanted to know why Hoku left since he was born so he asks, "Dad why did you leave when I was born?" This caught Hoku's attention he hadn't seen his children for a long time, but he had no choice "To protect you and your family" he replied in sorrow. Jordan gets confused and he replied, "That's just complicating" Little did he know by spending with his father he completely forgot that he needs to focus on the whispering mist, suddenly he felt a presence of a peculiar guest at the back of his house coming to kill Apollo, Hoku felt it as well, but before that happened Ven froze and negotiated him. 

The guest told him The Eldest's mission, this made Jordan go to his brother to see what was going on. "What happened?" he asked. Apollo ignored him as he told Carla and Emily to evacuate. Jordan asked Apollo again, but he looked at Hoku, and turned away after that. Jordan realized he knew something from Apollo, although he saw his family going to the aerial wing. Jordan decided to fight back but the captain forbade him to go to the spaceship because he might bring danger to himself. Hoku holds his wrist and told him what he meant "We have to leave Earth for it will be destroyed" Hoku tried to pull him to the wing, but Jordan didn't move he walks to the other way, and he said, 

"I can't leave them" Hoku tried convincing Jordan to go just to keep him safe and yet he took another step away. "Sometimes I don't want to be safe, I don't want to lose someone either even if that means sacrificing my life" Jordan left while he shed a tear in his eye doing the bravest thing a guardian can do. When Ven looks at Jordan, it reminded him of his childhood. Apollo decided to join him as well, along with Lynn and Casper who are willing to fight back. Even Lucinda wanted to come along. She looked back and saw Ven walking to her as he said, "Just because I'm not on your side it doesn't mean I won't help you" His words brought a smile to Lucinda's face. Together they will defeat The Eldest. Hoku pitifully walks back to the Aerial wing. Carla comforted him and he said to him "It's okay Hun, he's growing up" Jordan and his friends are about to go but he stopped when Emily tags along with him.
