Luke exhales slowly and begins running around the outer rim and inner rim of the stadium, and the trigger by the finish line creating an updraft as the explosion goes off the misty hole reopens as Tuhan runs through it looking at the empty stadium and Luke running in three places at the same time. He splits into three and runs after all three Luke's. Luke looks behind him seeing Tuhan chasing him.
Tuhan- "I won't let you beat me that easily."
Luke creates another aftermath of himself that runs out of the stadium, in the stadium all of the aftermaths disappear and Tuhan stops running only for an explosion to go off behind Luke as he runs with dust close behind him.
Michael begins crying as she sees the explosion in the distance, she screams for Luke as a blast of dust covers everyone while the ground begins shaking violently throwing a couple people. As the dust clears Michael, Lia, Hyperdrift, Alina, Comet, The Junkies, and the fans look at where the stadium used to be with tears in their eyes from dust.
Michael Harris- "No, Luke please don't be dead."
Lia hugs her mother. In the dust behind the crowd was a flash of green light.
Lia Harris- "Mommy look."
Michael turns around as well does everyone else. In the cloud of dust stood a shadow of a man with green energy shooting around his body, he falls to a knee as the dust cleared around him. Luke knelt down in pain as a metal pole stuck through his abdomen.
Michael Harris- "Luke? Oh my God Luke, you're going to be ok, alright? I won't let anything happen to you, ok look at me. (Luke's body becomes heavy as a tear flows down his face. Michael takes his hand) No, Luke, you can't die. We'll take care of this."
The crowd kneels and bows with sorrow and disbelief and a shadow stands up behind the crowd of people.
Luke Harris- (From behind the crowd) "I'm not going anywhere. (Michael Looks up) I'm staying right here with you and our beautiful little daughter."
Lia turns around and runs to her dad, Michael stands up and rushes to hug Luke while the crowd of people stand up and begin cheering with joy, some mourned toward the destruction of the stadium.
Michael Harris- (Kisses Luke's lips) "But, how did you survive?"
Luke Harris- "That's called an aftermath, it's a separate version of myself from when I run fast enough. (Michael looks confused) I'll explain later. For now, let's go home."
Alina- "What about our home? What are we supposed to do without a king running the place?"
Luke Harris- "I'll tell you all what. We remove the rubble and leave that lot open. I will be your king, but I can't be on both worlds at once so here's the deal. I will live on my planet and I will check on you all once a week to see how you're doing. While I'm away Alina and Ariel will be in charge of the kingdom. (To Alina and Hyperdrift) If anything goes wrong while I'm gone just come over and get me."
Alina- "Will do."
Luke Harris- "Now if you all don't mind, I have to get my wife and daughter back home where they belong."
Luke grabs onto Lia and Michael and runs disappearing.
Alina- (Looking at the crowd) "Alright guys let's get to work on removing the rubble and clean up that area."
Everyone begins walking back towards town while Comet, Alina, and Hyperdrift walk toward Luke stopping him from leaving.
Alina- "When are we going to see you again?"
Luke Harris- (Looks at Alina) "Soon enough I hope."
Comet- "So Voltage, if you were able to save the stadium then why did you let it blow up?"
Hyperdrift- "Yeah, why did you blow it up?"
Luke Harris- "Let's just say an evil presence followed me back so I had too."
Michael Harris- (Lia yawns and hugs Luke) "I think we should get home and rest for a bit hun."
Luke Harris- "I agree. This much destruction and action just is not for our little girl... yet."
Michael Harris- (Looks at Luke) "What do you mean?"
Hyperdrift- "It means that your daughter is a speedster like her dad."
Michael Harris- (In surprise) "What? Oh no, I don't want her getting into trouble with people like that."
Alina- "Don't worry Mis. harris, if she's going to be a speedster like her powerful father here, we can teach her how to use her powers for good and not be like Francois back there."
Luke Harris- "Let's wait until she's a little older."
Michael Harris- "Agreed."
Luke, Lia, and Michael begin walking away as a gust of wind to push them.
Comet- "Luke?"
Luke Harris- (Looks at Comet) "Yeah?"
Comet- "Do you mind if I stay with you guys for a bit? I kinda can't go home because I lost the race."
Luke Harris- "Well um, you can't stay with me but I think we can find someplace to live. First, what's your real name?"
Comet- "It's Samantha Watts."
Lia Harris- (Walks over to Samantha and hugs her) "Hi Samantha, I'm Lia. (Looks at Luke) Daddy, can she stay with us for a while?"
Luke Harris- (Looks at Samantha then Lia) "Why not."
Lia Harris- (Grabs Samantha's hand and jumps with joy) "I can't wait to watch movies and do your makeup."
Samantha smiles while walking with Lia into a misty hole. Luke takes Michael's hand as Luke, Michael, Lia, and Samantha run into the hole disappearing.
