It's been two days since the incident. S.W.O.R.D. sent submarines in to get Don Sebastian out of the destroyed base. They were apparently attacked the day before and lost all contact with everyone else.

Don and Sebastian spent only a day in the infirmary. Don didn't have anything broken and had only a few cuts. There were mainly bruises everywhere on his body. Sebastian was in good shape as well. They just needed rest. They slept the whole first day and woke up the next morning.

Now:

Sebastian was sitting in the hideout in an office chair. He was expecting a call from a friend about what to do now. And the friended call. It was Sal.

"Hey, I got your text. Great job." Sal said.

"I can't tell if that was sarcasm or not." Sebastian said honestly.

"Oh well. I got some news." Sal sounded serious. "Now that Pan and Angess are gone, most of there dark sorcerers have left to. I can show you the way to our organization, but it'll take a very long journey."

Sebastian sat up, in surprise. "When can we start?"

"As soon as you want."

Sebastian sat there thinking, then decided. "I have a funeral to attend to tomorrow. After that, I'll make my way down to our hideout."

"Alright, sounds like a plan. I'll meet you there." Sal said as he hung up.

Sebastian decided that he needed to tell Don. And so he called him over. Don arrived not long after.

Don walked through the doors and saw Sebastian holding a pen in his mouth.

"Hey, what's up?" Don called out.

"Oh, hey Don. How's it going?" Sebastian said immediately putting the pen on the table.

Don sighed. "I just found out I was cheated on by Cristy." He took a seat starring out into space.

"That bitch... I'm sorry." Sebastian said sincerely.

"It's fine. My mom actually warned me about it. Guess I should have listened." Don layed his head on his fist. "So why'd you call me?"

"I got some news..." Sebastian hesitated as he leaned back in his chair. "I got news that now that the Twins are gone, most of the dangers are retreating in certain areas."

"And just exactly where are those certain areas?"

"Don't know. I know a guy who will help me there, though."

"So wait - you're leaving?!" Don said in shock.

"Yeah, I'm leaving. I'm going to go find out where we came from, who we truly are, I'm going to go find US. You're welcome to join me..." Sebastian offered.

"Hmm." Don was lost for words, until "No, I'll pass."

Sebastian wasn't too surprised. "Why's that?"

"Well, I already know who I am. I am Don James. I have family here. And who else is supposed to be looking after my dad now? I'm all he has left." Don knew he couldn't just abandon him.

"Ah, makes sense." Sebastian got up and so did Don, Sebastian put a hand on his shoulder. "You're a great kid, Don. It's just sad how others don't see that. Don't stop being good. Be great, yes, but always be good at heart."

Don nodded. He never wanted to change. "So when are you leaving and coming back?"

Sebastian sighed. "I'm leaving tomorrow after the funeral. But I have no idea when I'll be back. I may never come back, seeing as how I could die."

"Yeah, well, if there was no threat, it wouldn't be fun, now would it?" Don laughed.

The next day Sebastian went to the funeral and was surprised to see how many people showed up. Sebastian was depressed having to say goodbye to someone else he cared about. But after it was all over, he walked over to Don and gave him a hug. "I gotta go now. You remember my technique for your magic?"

"Yeah yeah, everyday, use illusions to make it look like I'm slowly loosing my muscles, yada yada yada." Don said annoyed.

Sebastian laughed. "I'm going to miss you."

"It won't be the same without you." Don said.

"Well, take care. And don't stop training!" Sebastian said as he walked towards his car.

Don saluted him away with two fingers. Sebastian got in the car instead of driving towards his other hide out. Now it was time for another dangerous adventure.
