The Hlynkas say their goodbyes and leave through the portal. Another Order is what made them leave.
"Well, I'm meeting up with Belle and Ben, see ya guys," Brenton waves as he heads for the door.
"What? You're gonna leave?" Urana raises an eyebrow.
"You and Owen are childhood friends, Alex and Ava are childhood friends too, lemme go meet my best dudes," Brenton rolls his eyes with a smile.
"We don't need an explanation, don't keep them waiting," Owen waves his hand.
"Jeez, only Urana cares about me. You're just kicking me out," Brenton pretends to flip his nonexistent long hair.
"Pfft, Brenton's getting sassier," Alex laughs.
"Watch out world! Brenton will sass you down to the grave!" Ava laughs along.
"You guys are terrible," Brenton shakes his head then leaves.

Brenton grins as he spots his two friends sitting on one of the benches in the skating park. He walks over and rolls his eyes at Belle and Ben playing some sort of clapping game.
"You guys are beyond me, what are you two playing?" Brenton shakes his head with a smile.
"Well hello to you too Brenton," Belle rolls her icy blue eyes with a smile.
"Been a while dude, what's going on?" Ben and Brenton do their handshake as Brenton sits down on the bench too.
"You know, training...and more training...and Wysteria woke up..." Brenton says with multiple pauses in between.
"We heard about that...Magic Council says it would better for us to stay here," Belle sighs.
"But we're gonna go anyway," Ben shrugs. "You don't go Brenton. Wysteria is no joke."
"I know that genius heads," Brenton knocks their heads. "But I always find a way towards danger."
"Oh no, don't you-" Belle gets cut off by Brenton jumping to his feet.
"Because I am Mr. Dangerbutt!" Brenton announces in a deep voice and a fist in the air.
"Pfft," Ben can't keep himself from laughing.
"Oh gosh get over that stupid comic we made already," Belle rolls her eyes. "Ugh, it was so cringy."
"That's what makes it so funny!" Ben nudges Belle.
"You gotta hand it to him, it is funny!" Brenton agrees, laughing along.
"You two are so annoying sometimes, it's unbearable," Belle adjusts her platinum blonde side ponytail. "Lets go read some real comics and grab something to eat."
"I like that plan," Brenton nods his head. "Wanna eat Lyra's ice cream? She only sells during the summer."
"We've been here long enough to know that," Ben knocks Brenton's head with his fingers. "Why not eat some pretzels?"
"Why not eat both?" Belle suggests.
"I'm broke," Ben and Brenton say in unison.
"Jeez, I'll pay for you both," Belle offers, chuckling.
The trio walk along the streets of Cepheus, enjoying the nice weather and talking about the comic they made when they were younger, much to Belle's dismay.
"Ya know...we could re-write it," Ben's electric blue eyes shine with hope.
"Yes! Just for ourselves 'cause it is pretty cringy," Brenton agrees, the same amount of excitement on his face.
