The Arrival of the Zentaris

"What are we doing here?" Jerry said. "Don't we need to meet a Gallaxian? that's what you said earlier, right Braddock? But where the heck are we exactly?" Jerry said full of question. Emma raised her finger to his lips to signal jerry to be quiet and wait.

The group looks strange, standing under the shade of a tree, as the sun rises over the horizon. They are looking over a school campus. silent, waiting patiently. They arrived earlier in the dark of the night and left their Hover pod some feet back where they are now. As they step off of the craft, Stint pushing some buttons on his bracelet he is wearing, suddenly made the ship disappear from view. It looked to jerry like the craft had been covered by some kind of cloaking device.

Now the long wait, as morning arrived. Kids and grown-ups are passing by the road below the hill where they are at. Few of them riding on cars. While some kids are riding bikes to go to school. he approached Stint now sitting at one of the Huge roots that sat at the base of the tree. "Don't tell me the Gallaxian is just a student? Don't they have to be a grownup for them to be involved in a Galactic conflict?" Jerry said, looking at Stint, trying to get an answer.

Braddock pointed for him to look at the back door of the Building on the far back of the school, where right now, an Old Man wearing a suit is walking towards them. Emma moved beside him and said, "We are here to meet the Schools Principal Jerry. He is a Gallaxian and an old friend of yours too. this is his earthling job. He needs to blend and look normal, to not arouse suspicion, of course." she looked back at the old man who is now at least 20 feet from them and closing at the tree that they're standing at.

When the old man Arrived earshot Braddock finally speaks, "Hello Miromoto san! It's been a Long time old friend," Braddock said to the old man now standing before them, looking at them with a stern face."6 Years! but I'm not counting Brad. I received your message." He said then moved closely to look at Jerry. Raising his spectacles a bit with his hand, to examine Jerry's face better, "So this is Damian now? you guys finally found him, huh." he said looking back at Braddock again, "Just under our noses, would you know that! Just here on earth?! Well, as expected of Damian. If he does not want to be found, He will not be found." Looking satisfied at seeing jerry, pause for a moment then said, "However how did you find him? May I ask?"

Braddock looks as though he is trying to recall a memory, trying to think where to start. "Before he completely disappeared, it appears that He sent Lufresia to Planet Zenmonth to hide and hibernate. Then just 2 months ago, Lufresia woke up from her hibernation, visits Faylis. Lufresia explained to Fay what really happened on planet Garakus, And then told her were to find Damian." Braddock said.

Stint notice Jerry's puzzled expression stand up from the root then leaned over his shoulder and whispered, "Lufresia is one of your Dragons, Mr. Jerry. You see when Braddock earlier told you that Arkhons can use special skills. Well, your skill is, you can summon Dragons," Jerry quickly looked back at him, surprised, "What do you mean dragons?" he said. "Dragons Mr. Jerry. You know, like what we watch on television, on those Asian movies." Stint replied.

Jerry kept silent, lost for words. Shaking his head down, he can't believe what stint said to him. How the hell can he summon a Dragon? He Jerry Nhop? he thought to himself. Yesterday he was just a normal office clerk, a geek, and an easy-going guy. Now he is this Flash Gordon guy with magic powers. How on earth did this happen to him? he asked himself.

"Well, from your message Brad. You said that Damian's memories have not come back yet, so we need to take a look," Miromoto said. Turning around he gestures for them to follow him. he appears to be walking back at the direction of the school. "let's take a look at you inside my office, Damian. cmon boy, we can't be standing here all day. those Zents are still looking for you out there."

The group walked towards the school grounds. As soon as they step inside the campus, suddenly a sound of the school bell Rang inside the whole campus, signaling the start of class for the day. Children rushed to the to go to their respected classrooms, talking to their friends. Some of them rushed through the hallway lockers were Jerry and his group is walking. kids from everywhere beside them looked their way and said 'hi' to their Principal Miromoto, who is now walking in front of them, leading them to his office. While some kids did not even bother to look at them at all. Busy tinkering with their smartphones or something else. They walked through a couple of hallways, walked past 3 flight of stairs until they reached Miromotos' office on the 4th floor of the building.

Inside, they entered a regular looking Principal office. On the wall, they can see a cabinet filled with books of all sorts, besides it is a closed filing drawer. A big chair at the back of a fine Oak table, that is littered with papers and pens alike.

"We are not gonna stay here. Let's go to my real office," he pointed at the cabinet. All of them looked at the wooden furniture. Jerry looking puzzled as ever.

Miromoto walked to his desk, suddenly reached inside the desk lamp on it, trying to find something with his hands. Then a click sound. Then suddenly the cabinet Slide backward inside the wall then split open, Showing them another room inside the wall.

Jerry was so shocked to see it with his own eyes. This is some futuristic stuff he said to himself. However, he can't help but feel like everything seems familiar. This is the kind of things that he only sees on Television, from those futuristic movies that he is very fond to watch. Without hesitation, The group slowly went inside. The wall automatically shut down and slide back to normal, behind them.

The room inside looked so very far from the principal's office outside. The walls are filled with a couple of screens that show what looks like, different locations. Jerry walked looked closely at them and notice the building that is showing have a different architecture than the ones they have on earth. A couple of very circular building he saw first, while other spires are so high on the sky of the said place. He can also see along the streets of these building are different looking human-like people, with different colored and dressed in different clothing. Not unlike what we wear on earth.

"How come all of you guys look Human? I mean should Aliens look-alike us humans, or are you guys using some kind of device that masks your appearance?" Jerry asked looking over his shoulder back at each of them. "That is correct jerry." Emma said in reply, "Well, Stint is not wearing our skin reflectors since he is also an earthling like you. However, Braddock, me and Miromoto san over there are using them now. It's one of the Gallaxians policy to wear them once we arrive here on earth.

"Let's start, shall we?" Miromoto speaks, looking at Jerry. "take a sit here, Damian," He then gestures his right hand showing what looks like an oblong-shaped silver chair, that reminded jerry of the dentist chair on the normal world.

He hesitated for a moment, then realized he needs to somehow get through with what is happening right now. What they are saying may have been true, and he is curious to see what will really happen with this.

So he sat down. Miromoto Brings out some kind of machine that in Jerry's opinion look like a

Big calculator. He brought it to his face, eye level. Suddenly Greenlight went out of the device like a laser scanner, filling his face. "Am I suppose to fill something?" Jerry blurted out. As the green light went up and down then sidewards and back again, on his head.

"Just hold on for a bit. It's almost over, Damian," Miromoto said while his gaze still at the device that is scanning, Jerry's face. After a minute, the beam stops and turned off. Miromoto brought the device closer to his face. "This is strange! It seems the Damians Exxian levels are on."

The other looking at each other with a puzzled look on their face. Emma looked at Jerry, seeing that he needs some explanation, spoke to him, "Mr. Jerry, Exxian levels are what we call our Arkhon skills or you might call it a power." She looks at MIromoto, waiting for more explanation, while the old man is still reading somehow the result on the device "It's currently below negative, however, it somehow fluctuates every few minutes. And it is also raising every second that's counting," Miromoto said to them, while his gaze still transfixed on the device. "It appears, that every second, Jerry is recovering his original strength and memory."

"Then I should be remembering all of it, Right?" Jerry said looking at Miromoto. "Technically, yes. However, it might take a while since based on what shows here, it is on for 5 years recovering itself, amazing!" Morimoto's eyes showing some fascination and amusement on the result that he is looking at the moment. "How it still keep on being 'on', for this long time is amazing! haven't you feel any exhaustion at all?" "Nope, I don't feel anything at all, except that I'm pretty bad at sport," Jerry replied, shrugging his shoulders, then looking around at his companion, waiting for any response to what Miromoto told them.

Toooot... T..oot.. a beeping sound came from Stints bracelet as he lifts it to face looking as it also shows some blinking light on it. "Oh no guys, we gotta scram. They found us!" He said, then rushed to look at one of the monitors on the screen. all of them joined him, Jerry standing up from his chair, Getting ready this time. He does not want to be caught surprised again. Stints pointed at one of the images on the screen "There! Just outside the city, Two hover pods and one AD15 Cruizer." Emma looked at them with a panicked expression, "Does it mean, they have a general with them?" she asked looking at Braddock for some answers. "Your probably right, sweetheart. Now let's move! They can't reach us here, there are still kids on the campus."

Miromoto moved quickly pressing buttons on a panel on the left of the sliding floor. The wall split open immediately. They moved fast outside back again at the principal's office. "Don't mind me, they are after Damian. You just need to get clear of the school for them to chase you and just think about me later on. By that time, I'll be long gone from here." he said walking by a window and pushing it wide open.

Jerry now realizing what is about to happen again. "Oh no, we're about to out a window again, aren't we? do you guys even used doors?" not soon as Jerry finished saying the words. Stint was pushing buttons on his bracelet, you would hear beeping sound on it. Emma started off running, then leaped outside the window, followed by a stint jumping after her.

Braddock looked at him with a silly grin on his face. "You'll get used to it again, Damian. if what Miromoto said was true. So let's go!" This time, it was Braddock grabbed jerry and flung him over his broad shoulders. He walked over the window, looked back at Morimoto, "Don't worry Miromoto, Damian will pay you back the digits he owed you once he gets his memory back," Miromoto just waved him away "Just keep him safe than before he can do that," with a final wave, "Damian will be fine, he always does." He jumps out the window carrying jerry over his shoulders.
