A week and a few days then pass. It is the night before the Luyturians will show up for battle. It is a dark and starry night. The Ezekiel family and their witnesses are all camping in a glade near the battlefield under the stars. They then setup a bonfire and sit around it and tell campfire stories. Meanwhile, Stella is in a tent for Orion and Ranessa and sitting with them embracing her children incase it's their last night together. Caden is then standing near the tent with Zac as they look at their witnesses.

Caden to Zac: I can't believe it. All these beings risking their lives for us because I fell in love and started a family with an earthling.

Zac: you've been single for many, many years and you've finally found your one and only soulmate. You deserve to be happy. I remember when that was me when your real mother got killed when you and Ada were super young. Remember when I too was single for many of years? *looks to Leah and remember his love for her* Then I found Leah here on Earth and I am as ecstatic as ever. Everybody here has something to live and fight for. I sure do and so do you and Stella. You even have your own family now. You've finally joined the dad life. I remember when that was me when you were little. You've been a great father to your children. They really love you and Stella. I'm very proud of how much you've grown.

Caden then looks back at Stella and Orion and Ranessa and smiles at them as they smile back.
Caden then thinks about when he met and fell in love with Stella and all the great memories he had with her and how in love he is with her. He even then thinks about how great of a father he's been to Orion and Ranessa and how they love him and Stella.

Caden: you know what, Dad, I've never thanked you for taking me to this extraordinary planet. I've never even thanked you for bringing me into this extraordinary life.

Zac: *pats Caden on the back* your welcome, son.

Caden then slightly smiles at Zac and hugs him. Zac and Caden then share a sweet father son moment while hugging.

Zac: I love you Caden

Caden: I love you too Dad.

Back in the tent, Stella is sitting in the tent with Orion and Ranessa. Stella then gives Orion and Ranessa bracelets with photos of when she and Caden got married and photos of Luyten on the other side of the bracelets.

Stella: these mean more than my and your father's own lives because that's how much we love you guys. So about tomorrow, we're gonna need you guys to stay with Chris and Jaycee at all costs. Even if they might need to take you guys somewhere. That somewhere might even be far away and possibly to another world. Your gonna have to stay with them, if anything.

Orion and Ranessa then get nervous about the battle again and think of the fact they might lose their parents. The children then start crying.

Stella: Aw you guys. You guys will be just fine. Chris and Jaycee will protect you guys and you guys will be safe like always.

Ranessa: Will you and dad be ok?

Orion: are you guys gonna come back for us?

Stella: you guys are my children and I am your mother so I must be honest with you, I'm not sure you guys. Your father and I will fight to protect you guys so the Luyturians don't take a step near you guys. We hope we will come back. I love you guys so much!

Orion and Ranessa then silently cry in their mother's arms as Stella holds them close and comforts them. Caden then hears them and comes into the tent.

Caden: *in a soft tone of voice* hey guys

Orion and Ranessa: dad!

Orion and Ranessa then huddle into Caden's arms as he holds them and comforts them
