After the attack 3 days ago, everyone starts having plans to set off or a galactic fight unlike other. Casper packs his things in his bag and says goodbye to his uncle Aunt and his half-brother Boris. Sid hugs her mother Iris and waves goodbye as she sets off. Everyone packed their stuff and said goodbye to their families, except for Willow since her parents kept arguing, instead, she went out by the window and left them behind. One day Glen packed his things in his bag including the photo of his family, and walks outside with his bag, His father Jason was worried to hear he had to go on his own. So, he asked him "Are you sure you're ready for this Glen?" and Glen answered "Not really, but it's for you and Sylvie's sake, and besides, I'm just someone she really wanted to get rid of anyway. Sylvie from the porch heard and realize how cruel she is to her stepbrother, now she couldn't forgive herself for what she did to him and their mother. "Glen" she called as she stood in front of him, then she hugged him saying, "I don't hate you"

"I know you didn't. You may not be the best, but at least you're not the worst sister I knew" Glen replied as he hugged back a little tightly. Just before he left home Glen waved goodbye to his father and Sylvie. Sasha, after she waved goodbye to her foster parents lifted her hand and conjured a storm to her friends' families including her own foster family (except for Bushin and Skylar's family), to erase the memories they have of them. A tear came out of her, showing her own regret for her choice. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry" Sasha mourned quietly as she walked away from her home to the ship which she was told to go in. Meanwhile Jordan helps Lynn on her training to reach Eternal's levels with his new and same methods he used to help Glen, and a few methods he learned from his dead master Ashura and temporal master Ven, while traveling to different planets like balancing on a mountain peak in Ground Sharp, tightrope walking above lava rivers in Volca, Meditation test in the north pole in Earth and Lynn's archery training. Although Lynn completed them so quick that she's the first person to ever handle such training thus building progress. Jordan noticed her negative emotions growing and consuming her, so he decided to put Lynn to her first test. "Alright Lynn... Hit me" Jordan taunted her. This made Lynn start hesitating "Wait what?"

"It's fine just do it" Jordan said without any fear. Lynn started with a punch with her left fist, but Jordan dodged it quickly, she punches with her right fist, yet again he dodged it. Lynn then saw a chance to knock him down by, kicking his right foot, then Jordan blocked that attack with his. That's where the combat between two best friends begins. During the hand-to-hand combat forms, they both learned in their guardian lessons guide, it was observed by the ghost and Glen that Lynn learns Combat 1 (which a symbol shows a zigzag meaning attack) quicker than Jordan. Jordan was surprised by the fact that she was so much faster and more skilled than the last time she fought Lydia who was the girl in a helmet. Jordan had to go on Combat 2 (With the symbol of an Orb that represents defense) to endure her speed. When he saw Lynn's raging eyes, while defending, he got her off ground and pinned her. Jordan lends her a hand and pulls her up advising her. "You shouldn't focus on attacking when your opponent wants you to." Lynn puts both hands on her hips and asked wondering why he gave her that advice "How can you be sure someone wanted you to attack if you can't tell." Jordan after 5 seconds starts wondering the same thing, so he said to her. "Well... If you always keep attacking like you did a while ago... you'd easily lose to your opponents." "You know what let's just call it a day." Jordan smiled warmly, Lynn knew had to rest her own body from all the training methods Jordan used, including hand-to-hand combat, which tired her out a bit. She walked past by Jordan, entered the underground base, and closed the door. Earlier, Glen noticed the look on Jordan's face, he felt very worried lately about him and Lynn. He starts having flashbacks about the anger within her that suddenly widened his eyes. His thoughts immediately snapped when the ghost asked Glen after two snaps of his fingers "You good Glen?" Glen responded rapidly "Of course man, It's Lynn I'm mostly worry about right now." "I've never seen someone so kind, and understanding, become so rageful and full of so much hate. I don't think she can heal fast after the death of her dad and her brother's betrayal." The ghost understood every part about what Glen was thinking, so to make things clearer he starts to sum things up by saying. "So, you're telling me that-" Suddenly he was interrupted by Sasha saying "She isn't the same person as she was back then. I get it." "But sometimes getting hurt only makes you stronger, I hope not too strong to even hurt others." Glen realized how much Sasha worried about her younger sister Lynn, but he was wondering why she didn't go and talk to her, like she's supposed to. When Sasha sat next to Glen and sighed, he asked curiously. "So... Why can't you go and talk to Lynn instead, well... you know like umm... have a sister time together, or something" Sasha looked down at him and started mumbling, then she looked at Jordan, who was walking to the underground base and went through the whole, then she turned her head back to Glen and she responded with a nervous smile on her face "I just think that it's best if Jordan can handle it, I mean Lynn and he had a better bond with each other than anyone else I know."

"He won't for this one." The ghost said as he believed things won't work out, and he agreed with Glen "You know the kid's right, it's best if you talk to her instead of letting someone else do it. You're her sister remember?" Sasha couldn't agree more to the ghost than ever. "You sounded like a big brother to both of us." Sasha said, referring to her and to her friend Bushin, the ghost agreed and nodded, and Sasha in her thoughts admitted that she really needs to talk to Lynn. Frustrated, Lynn throws brutal punches against the walls that are not quite as strong as told. Jordan walks inside the room to talk, but one of her punches ended up going to Jordan's face. Lynn's frustrated emotions disappeared after that. Lynn was surprised knowing that she'd punched her own childhood friend. Although Jordan was okay, he is worried about how she was feeling today. "So, you wanted to kill your brother?" Jordan was shocked, hearing that from Lynn made him believe that his anticipation about Lynn's feelings were true, but he is calm, so he doesn't have to overreact about it, so he responded to her with a riddle like he did to Glen multiple times. "Time is a maze of different events. You thought so much of it that you got lost. To get back on track you must focus on where you are." Lynn turned to Jordan. "What?"

"Time is a maze of different events you thought so much of it you got lost. To get back on track you must focus on where you are." Jordan repeated.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Lynn asked genuinely confused.

"You'll know, I spoke in riddles like this after training Glen. But since I'm helping you get stronger; I just want to know if you're okay."

"I'm fine Jordan, don't worry about me."

"To make things clear." Jordan replied "Your brother can be jerk sometimes, but if you try to understand them, you will realize how much they really love you even if he couldn't show"

30 minutes later Lynn was genuinely unsure with what that means, but when she remembered that Jordan won't tell her, she knew she had to find out herself. But she kept it aside and started her own method sof training.
