Third Person POV

A few hours had gone by after Kora was taken by Empress and of course Arthur and Sandra having their parents show up. They learned that the three came based on reports that came in saying Arthur and his friends were going missing. Arthur sighed as his dad poked some fun at him while his mother worried over him at the same time Sandra laughed at them. The two grandparents talked with one another all at grandma's house Kage, Fenris, Ian, and Doni were there as well. They were invited by the mother her name is Nora Lizer their fathers name is Ace Lizer the grandpas name is Koran Lizer and grandmas name is Sara Lizer. At the moment they are talking about when Arthur was younger this is of course in front of Luna his girlfriend.

Nora: "He always ran to me when someone made fun of him."
Arthur: "What?! N-no I did not!"
Ace: "You sure kid? What about that one time whe-."
Arthur: "No no no no we are not hearing this story!"
Luna: "Are you sure? It sounds so interesting."
Arthur: "It isn't because nothing happened!"
Sandra: "Oh you know that's not true Arthur."
Arthur: "I don't need you to butt in Sandra."
Fenris: "A lively bunch aren't they?"
Kage: "Are we just gonna you know stay here?"
Ian: "They invited us didn't they?"
Doni: "Well something interesting may come of it."
Arthur: "Stop! Those stories never happened! It's all been made up!"
Luna: "I don't think so. I like hearing these stories very much you know!"

Luna is in front of Arthur's face a fake innocent smile on her face looking right into Arthur's eyes seemingly looking into his soul at least that's what he figured she was doing. She stopped allowing him to breathe out Arthur smiled happy to be with his family again. Then Ace started to onto something else.

Ace: "You know Arthur I don't think you've thanked your friends yet for helping you out all this time."
Arthur: "What?"
Nora: "He's right you know! They all came to help you even if most of them also got turned into Beasts they still came to help you."
Arthur: "Well.. Yeah your right I was just waiting for a good time."
Fenris: "You know when all those Beasts were about to crash down on us would have been a good one."
Sandra: "Ooh he got you there."
Kage: "Yeah would have been great to hear it before getting mauled to death."
Arthur: "You all really thought we were gonna die there?"
Doni: "That was one of many things on my mind yes."
Arthur: "Nope I don't think we were!"
Koran: "Oh? What were you about to do Arthur?"
Sara: "Yes even Koran here in his prime would have struggled against an army of that size. With a Mythical Beast of all things!"
Arthur: "Well it's a secret now. Can't go showing off everything now can I?"
Sandra: "Boo."
Luna: "Oh come on you can't even tell us what you were trying to grab before those meteors fell?"
Arthur: "Nope!"
Doni: "Speaking of those who was that woman?"
Ace: "So she was here."
Arthur: "Yeah the Empress herself decided to enter the battle."
Nora: "That girl you never know what's going through her mind."
Kage: "With a name like that you would think everyone knows her."
Arthur: "Their is a reason for that but well."
Ace: "It's fine you can tell them."
Arthur: "What? But."
Koran: "We said it was fine Arthur."
Fenris: "Um what?"
Arthur: "Fine Kael Infernouis the Empress. She is the one at the top of the Grand Council but she prefers to lead in secret living in the shadows."
Kage: "Then she is a Complete Origin?"
Arthur: "No she isn't. Her power is at Basic level it's been past down for quite sometime."
Doni: "But those meteors!"
Arthur: "Her power is so far off the scale she makes the remaining Complete Origins together look weak."

The group is taken aback by this new information but as they process the information it makes sense to them Arthur but up a massive amount of defense when the meteors rained. The landscape was also restored after they fell and the massive gun defense turrets were also repaired instantly after she left. Then Kage looked at Arthur he had thought back to when he used his Hidden Skill for the first time and how much Arthur seems to use his own.
