Antonius, Jayr, and Jada are on the plane back home. Antonius and Jada are sitting in the back and Antonius was meditating but Jada started asking questions about what happened on the island. "It's nothing, I just had to become stronger," said Antonius. Antonius walked off and went into the cockpit with Jayr.
"I had to get away from her because everytime I see the ring I bought her, it's like the feels begin to take over and I worked hard to take those feelings out of my body," said Antonius. "I know it's hard but you gotta express those feelings before it kills you because it's tearing you apart," said Jayr. Jayr landed the plane and a lot of Antonius' family were at the airport , ready to welcome him back home. Antonius was shocked to see all of his family there, ready to welcome him home. His mother was the first to give him a hug. "My sweet boy," she says. He walked through the crowd giving everyone hugs and love, he was so happy to see his support system but he had a flashback to the island. On the island, he saw the person who taught him how to fight and how to survive on that island. "You are the strongest person i ever trained and you are going to be a problem back home," said the man on the island.
Antonius went into his room in his house all of it was the same, even the picture of Jada. When he saw the picture he snapped and broke the photo. He started to work out and became stronger because he made a promise to the man on the island.
"I have to become stronger not for me, but my city," said Antonius in his head. Antonius went to his nightclub and everything was the same. Antonius was having a welcome back party, Jayr came out of Antonius' office. "Everything is updated and your party is a go for tonight," said Jayr. "How is the basement under the club?" asked Antonius.
"It's being used for storage, why?" said Jayr.
"I need it for something important," said Antonius.
Jayr gave him the master keys to the club, Antonius walked downstairs to the basement and he opened the door. He saw old equipment and junks, but he saw a big empty space. He had ideas flowing through his head.
