As Gano saw light at tunnel's end, he took his first step outside"Tess" he snickered remembering their first meeting "Brook" images of watching Space Avengers played in his mind "Mayuri" he shuddered at the thought of facing her afterwards if he survived "Douglas..." his heart strings were tugged and pulled, and a pang of regret pierced deep into his heart as green electricity enveloped his being "My brother...in more ways than one....It's a different connection we share.." he looked up at the sky with a wistfulness he that he'd left behind long ago "Frank...Ameille...you won't be taken from us again.."

 Walking into  broad daylight one last thought crossed his mind, looking to his side he could've swore for a brief song a familiar face greeted him he thought he'd never see again "Very funny Universe. There you go making me again" rubbing his eyes, he took a look again, the only thing greeting him-empty city streets. 

Feeling overwhelmed and burdened by all the worries that plagued him at that moment, he buried his face into his hands and let out an anguished scream "Still..." he looked up-despite how terrible the day was-clouds cleared and gave way to a  blue sky. 'This is what it means..calm before the storm...'

"This is all I need, seems no attention's being paid to me, I'm going to need every last bit of energy to have a chance to put this guy away." door forced open, the car was push start, climbing in Gano put on his seatbelt, looking down he saw a can of his favorite drink "Ooo! They Caramel Blue!!" Finding a car to hijack Gano fond fortune in his favor "Didn't even have to prop the door open. 

In the driver's seat, he started messing with wires as sparks flew and the care roared to life "Alright!! Been awhile since I got to drive and with no nags around and no one to enforce the speed limit. I can make this baby go fast it can!! WOOOOOOOOO!!" Tires screeching marks left in its wake, the collision course between an unstoppable force and immovable object began. 



Reporters and civilians gathered in front of the lawn as The President arrived at the podium ready to give his address "Everyone...calm down...calm down...Listen!" his voice was an authoritative baritone,  waiting until all cameras were trained on him and he had the audience's full attention as he settled in "You've seen footage, read reports, and caught wind through internet socials about  what's occurring-we can no longer run nor hide from what's true-life from far beyond has taken residence on this planet we call home" he brought up his arms up and then down as an uproar started amongst the unsettled ground. 

Stepping back and folding his arms they continued on, until finally had had enoug "Please! Please!" The President the mic made a noise that was nails on chalkboard "Let me finish informing!!  Then once I let you in the know on what's going on then I'll do my best when it comes to every question you want answered,  and concern you have!!" the room fell into a hush and quieted down. 

Clearing his throat, he got ready to speak again "It's been known for quite some time-I mean we've had sci-fi since the sixties- that there was potential for life other than ours to exist. The good new is that not all these life-forms are hostile and we've made contact with those from not our world years before, but as we hope and pray for the safety of denizens of New Arcadia it has to be made clear-wanton violence and destruction will not be tolerated" he took a pause hoping to choose his next words carefully. 

 Taking at his handkerchief he wiped sweat off his bro "My son came to me the other day, he fell down a hole and needed to be rescued out, so the guys arrive..and I can hear my little boy crying...so throwing caution to wind I jump right down there.....he goes 'Dad! Dad!! Why'd you jump down here too' while crying and sniffling...'Aren't you claustrophobic..isn't that your worst fear? I'm sorry..' I grab him and took into my arms and I tell him 'Son I've found a fear I fear even worse than claustrophobia...losing you.." he looked around the room.
