Daiko: *puts his bracers on as well as his mask and stretches as the sun rises* Today's the day! *he said as he jumps and flips happily* Today I go back home.

Daika (Vampa): *hugs him* Do you really have to?

Daiko: *chuckles* C'mon, you know I'm not from here. You got the better of me here with you already.

Daiko (Prime): *chuckles* Hm. It's been nice having you here. We will miss you Daiko. Tell your family we said hi.

Daiko: *nods* I sure will.

Sorrel (Xeno): It was fun while it lasted huh? *holds his fist out*

Daiko: *fist bumps him* It was.

Sorra (AU): Take care of yourself. And them.

Daiko: With all my heart.

Daiko (Xeno): *arrives through a bright portal* Daiko, it's time.

Daiko: *he separates from Daika* We'll meet again I'm sure, but who knows when.

Jakuna: Hold it. *she says as he lands in front of him* You're another version of Prime here and just as insufferable as he is.

Daiko: ...and?

Jakuna: That's it. Begone. *walks away but stops* That's right...I forgot one thing.

Daiko: What's tha-HAT?? *he was then hugged by her* Oh...this is nice.

Daiko (Prime): Wait for it.

Daiko: Huh? Ngh!! *was stabbed in his back*

Jakuna: *leaves the dagger there and pats his back before separating* Now you may leave.

Daiko: *reaches for the dagger and pulls it out* What the heck was that for??

Daiko (Prime): It's her way of saying she...tolerates you.

Daiko: That's nice...I guess. *he says as he heals himself* That's better. *he looks out to them* See ya.

Daiko (Xeno): I hope you got what you wanted from this. Let's bring you home.

[OG]

Daiko: *walks out of the bright portal as it closes behind him as he looks at the house* It looks the same when I left. I hope everyone's been taking care of themselves. *he says as he walks up to the door and turns the handle to—*

Daika: *had tackled him to the ground and hugged him tightly* You moron! You were gone for too long! *she says as she hugs him tighter*

Daiko: I missed you too. *he says as he hugs her back* Let's stand up at least.

Daika: Ok. *she says as she gets off of him and helps him up*

Daiko: Thanks.

Sorrel: *leans against the door frame* It's been a while. Good to have you back.

Daiko: It feels good to be back. I've learned a lot about myself. Pun intended.

Sorrel: Heh.

Sorra: *pushes him aside playfully* Welcome back. *she hugs him and pulls away* No more training from other timelines alright?

Daiko: Heh, I've already got what I need. So I'm not leaving again. Not like I'm allowed to anyway.

Kohl: What have you learned?

Daiko: Well, I had to master myself. It sounds simple but it's more nuanced than what it actually means. Prime had to master himself within. He just showed me how to.

Kumara: Hm, I guess Akumo would like to know this as well.

Daiko: Yeah, where is—! *catches the fist of Akumo from his side*

Akumo: ...hm. *pulls his fist away* Good. You didn't slack off. *walks away* You may enjoy the rest of this day.

Daiko: Missed you too... *shakes his own hand from the pain of that punch* Agh...
