Chapter 13: The future is a mystery, so are the events

Small earthquakes are still being felt, humanity is organizing itself to survive the end of the world. But many believe that they should not give it much importance, that they would rather concentrate on finding out what this mysterious hole in the shadows is, they want to know why so many people died being extracted into outer space. Although there is much to investigate, although scientists put all their effort into finding out what it is all about, there are no answers, it is a complete mystery what happened. Not even the most advanced technology can give them an answer

Sharon walks towards the hole in the shadows, she is very sad and feels very frustrated for not having been able to help more people to be saved. Sharon is a very compassionate and benevolent girl, she loves people, she believes that individually we should meditate on what we can contribute to the world so that every day it is better. She is altruistic, understanding, humble, hard-working, a fighter, bold, has great leadership and is very affectionate. She does not agree that science is everything in life, although she is an astrophysicist and loves science, but she firmly believes that if we are aware of our actions, we can see things clearly. She studied a degree in physics, a master's degree in astronomy and was now studying her doctorate in Astrophysics, although she later decided to study a degree in the area of ​​design. She believes that art can bring out the deepest intentions of the heart, even those that are denied. She supports her brother unconditionally because she knows that his intentions are noble, but she is also willing to advise him if circumstances warrant it in case his behavior goes towards selfishness.

The hole of shadows continues to emit many lights, curiously, the silhouette of the supposed extraterrestrial disappeared, as well as that of the spaceship. Although small earthquakes occur from time to time, for the moment humanity pays more attention to surviving, but also to wanting to investigate what comes next, they are waiting and expecting another strong earthquake to appear somewhere in the world. The question is: Where? When? The future is uncertain, Sharon is ready for anything, but no one is prepared for what is coming.

_Hello Sharon

Sharon turns to look surprised, it was Yamal, Yadir's brother

_Hello Sharon, I am very happy to know that my brother and your brother made peace, although Yadir is a very diplomatic person, he can be explosive at times.

_I am also glad-says Sharon-now more than ever we need to be united, united as a team, we have been friends for a long time, and we need each other to survive. I have been doing many analyses of the hole of shadows, and it completely goes beyond all the laws of physics and also using my knowledge of astrophysics to see if its terminology, technicality and principles can contribute something to us, and since every person who wants to enter there disappears, it is not possible for me to enter to investigate further what it is about.

_Many people died-exclaims Yamal distressed- What is next? All of this is so confusing, the future is a mystery. I have been dealing with many patients, sadly, many have passed away because their mental condition ended up ending their life. But it comes from my heart to help others, that's why I am a psychiatrist and psychologist.

At that moment, Jawara, Blossom and Joshua arrive to discuss what is happening, Jawara has a strong uncertainty of what happened with the attraction ray that saved the lives of the passengers who were on the plane. Who helped the plane where Iris Patterson was? Also, whoever saved them, it was in a very fast way, because in the blink of an eye, they were in Berlin, Germany. Is there anyone else who created something as innovative as the Airspace-wanderer? It was not a ship that was from the Legion of the Sentinels, The Fighting Cats, nor was it Atziri Blake's ship, and much less, Armin Blake's, Jawara was eager to answer those questions, since he wants to have the best allies to face what is coming.

_Hello, how are you?-says Jawara

_Hello, I'm glad to see you-say Joshua and Blossom.

_If we're going to try to survive this cataclysm-says Jawara-there are events that you need to know about.

_Yes, that's right-says Blossom-when we went to help the plane where Iris was going, we couldn't save it, someone else had already done it, and they did it very quickly.

_Yes, that's right-says Yamal-Iris told me that it was in the blink of an eye that something saved them and before they knew it, they were already in Germany.

_But seeing the sea rising into outer space like a volcanic explosion-says Joshua-was impressive. What's happening to the Earth?

_From what we can see-says Sharon-supernatural phenomena happen gradually, not many come at the moment, but what surprised me the most was that it started suddenly

In a very strong way, that's talking about what happened to New Jersey.

_Yes, the earthquake, people, houses, buildings taken into outer space-says Blossom- and then the hole of shadows was formed, where you see many phosphorescent colored lights, silhouettes like people, or aliens, spaceships, and at the time cries for help, people who tried to get off but disappeared immediately. And now the natural phenomenon we're talking about: an eruption of the sea that went out into outer space. All this is very confusing!

_Iris has contacted me to give me details of what she and the passengers of that plane experienced-says Yamal- putting it all together, we'll be better prepared.

_I think it's time for me to have a talk with you Sharon, and also with you Jawara-says Edward Malenfant arriving to meet her- look, I know that right now you're talking about all the events that you're seeing, but I need to talk to you two.

_Okay, dad- says Sharon- we can go to my house, I'll make coffee and we'll talk. Does Joshua think we can be left alone for now?

_Yes, love, go ahead.- says Joshua

_I'll see you later, Blossom- says Jawara

_Go ahead- says Blossom

Edward goes with his two children to Sharon's house, which is right there in New Jersey. Edward does not underestimate his ex-wife. He has a feeling that she will soon make an act of foresight, and due to his painful past, he wants to prepare his children emotionally. Sadly, none of the three of them knows or has any idea of ​​the shameless things that woman did. Once at Sharon's house, she makes a delicious coffee with cinnamon and puts chocolate chip cookies on the table.

_The coffee smells really good- says Jawara- and you've never liked to cook- he says to Sharon, acting funny.

_Oh really? Go ahead, chef, teach me and I'll learn from you

_Don't burn it, by the way, it already smells burnt.

_Well, even if it's burnt, you'll drink it like that-Sharon says, playing along-I don't know, you'll have diarrhea for many days. Oh, at least constipation!

_Oh no, daughter-says Edward Malenfant-I'd rather be fine, I don't want to get sick, I'd rather not drink your coffee-Edward also plays the joke.

_Oh, what the hell with you-says Sharon!-You know? I'm glad we're together right now, we need each other now more than ever.

_That's right, daughter-says Edward-I brought you all together here because I want to ask you something: How are you?

Jawara and Sharon are stunned by the question, but they also think about it. Since their mother abandoned them, they have not spoken about the subject at any time, and they sense that now their father wants to bring up the subject with them.

_Can I know the reason for your question? - asks Jawara

_It's because of your mother, well, Madeleine. What would you feel if you saw her again?

Sharon and Jawara were stunned. At first they didn't know what to answer. They had many mixed emotions now. They both suffered a lot because of it, but each of them suffered in their own way. Since they never spoke about the matter in a deep way, now they must bring out what they feel about the situation. There is a long silence. They lower their heads and think about the question. Their father gives them the time they need to think about it, because he knows it is a deep question.

_Well, the truth is, Dad - says Sharon - I don't want to know anything about that woman! I never want to see her again! If she didn't love us then, I can't expect her to love us now.

_I understand you, my love, -says Edward- we've never touched on the subject properly before, and now with the mysterious events, I want you to be emotionally stable to deal with it, that's why I want you to tell me how you've felt about this situation.

_Hate! -exclaims Jawara- what I feel is hate, I begged and pleaded with her to stay but she didn't listen to me! She preferred her success and money more than me, and that's a real injustice- Jawara starts to cry a lot- what I want is to see her and for her to tell me exactly why she left.

_And why do you want to know that Jawara? -Sharon asks him- if the answer is obvious: she never loved us and she doesn't deserve us to beg her or tell us what we want to hear.

_You just don't understand! - Jawara exclaims with much hate and pain - I missed her a lot at the time. And although I feel a strong hatred towards her, I feel deep down that if she repents from her heart, perhaps I will forgive her.

_And why would you be willing to forgive her, my son? - his father asks him

_Because I still miss her a lot, I miss her and I would give anything for her to give me a sign of love - Jawara covers his face and begins to cry, his father hugs him, he feels very guilty for not having asked his children that before.

_Do you miss her too, Sharon? - Edward asks him

_The truth is that no dad, I have a life, I have you, I have my husband Joshua, you know that we got married a week after Jawara got married, despite the inclement weather

Time and the events we lived, we got married anyway, I have my friends, for me that's more than enough, besides, that woman doesn't deserve our tears. Now I would like to ask you something dad: Why did you bring up the subject of Madeleine? Have you seen her yet?

_The truth is yes-says Edward- I saw her from afar and she saw me, but we didn't talk. And I fear that sooner or later we will see her face to face, that's why I called you together to talk about this subject. Sharon, my little one, what would you do if you saw her right now?

_I would tell her that I'm not interested in knowing anything about her!-says Sharon with determination- and that she should go away. She has no right to interfere in my life, I'm very angry with her. And I'm not interested in forgiving her.

_And you Jawara?

Jawara doesn't answer his father's question. He shares Sharon's idea, he knows that he doesn't want to know anything about his mother, but deep down he wants to see her again, since he was the one who suffered the most from her abandonment. For him, his mother was everything, and her abandonment left him with emotional wounds that have not yet fully healed. Edward notices Jawara's silence, and tells them both to be strong, and to prepare themselves emotionally for when the time comes. Because they don't know when it will be, just as they don't know how the cataclysm will continue to unfold, they also don't know when they will face feelings from the past, since the future is a mystery, and so are the events.

On the other hand, Joshua, Yamal and Blossom talk about the strange events they see.

_All of this is very strange, but also inspiring fear-says Joshua

_The best thing we can do is prepare-says Blossom-there are many questions to answer, all of this is very confusing, it's like a labyrinth, we have to solve the labyrinth.

_I think the best thing is to plan-says Yamal- we must plan to survive. Find a place to hide, where we can be safe, because if not, we will lose our lives.

_Well, the advantage we have is that we have the Airspace-wanderer-says Joshua- now we must make the most of it to save ourselves.

_Blossom, you are a seismologist-says Yamal- and you, Joshua, are a meteorologist. Can't you predict when these supernatural phenomena will come?

_We are working on that-says Joshua- there are storms that are beyond our reach to predict them for the same reason that they are supernatural phenomena. Despite the advanced technology and the knowledge that science can provide us, there is no way to predict this, earthquakes are beyond what we could describe.

_There is no way! In fact, even with Fatima, who helped us when the earthquake struck and that strange event that destroyed New Jersey, she can't explain it. I've studied earthquakes all my life, but... it's impossible to understand the nature of the Earth, no matter how much man studies it.

_Now we have Yadir in the hospital-says Yamal worried- How are we going to get him out if a supernatural phenomenon occurs here?

_Calm down, we'll see how-says Blossom- we must plan, but we must also plan the best way to save as many people as possible.

While they were chatting, the sky began to turn very dark, like a storm, the color of the sky was royal blue too dense, and it looked like it was going to hail, but it wasn't a normal hailstorm.

On the other hand, there were Jonathan, his daughter and the others trying to keep their ships afloat while the earthquake happened. From the cockpit, Gretel gives instructions.

_ Antoinette! Make sure the oxygen is maintained, it must be activated.....

Before continuing to give instructions, a giant spaceship with its attraction beam takes them, curiously, it takes them to the planet where the Legion of the Sentinels are. The Sentinels are amazed at their arrival.

_ How come you are here now? - Dae-Hyun asked the moment Jonathan and the girls leave the ships.

An alien teleports from the giant ship to where they were, the one who had saved them was Atziri.

_ Who are you and how the hell do you know about us? Either tell me who you are or I forget that I had compassion for humans! - in his anger, Atziri transforms his arms into swords.

_ Hey, hey, hey! Calm down! - Jonathan exclaimed - You saved us, right? I saw you before, your brother, Armin Blake was confronting you, and then, I made him follow me, but he destroyed your spaceship's warp, how come you have this ship now?

_ I ask the questions here! - Atziri exclaimed furiously - You! In particular, you said your name: Jonathan McMahon, known as Sky Panther, you are a human! I already knew that you used the conversion, no one has used it until now but my husband! How come you are now an alien? Wait! Almost everyone here, almost everyone here already took it, they are humans turned into aliens!

_ You worked for FIREFLY - said Dae-Hyun - Well, then you understand even before you did that there is authority.... Michael Tyndale

was your authority there, followed by Ariche Noumair.....so, well, welcome to the Legion of the Sentinels! I have the authority over the Sentinels and Jonathan, who you met when your brother confronted you, is the one who follows me, so you will be the one who listens to us! McMahon, reveal more about Truswell to him.

Dae-Hyun and Atziri stared at each other and she decided to decline to threaten and fight, she lowered her weapons and decided to listen.

_ I called you Zoe Truswell because as I told you, that is her name, or your doppelgänger was called, she was human, but she became a very skilled undercover agent that we knew her as Madam Sand, and that was because her weapons that she used were weapons that far from shooting fire, they shot sand, but a powerful sand that penetrated like bullets and could also penetrate like the sword. That weapon, "the sand weapon", she created it. She was a member of our organization, in which we fight against evil, so she was a Sentinel.

_ Why are you talking in the past tense? - asked Atziri.

_ She is dead, later you will know who killed her. But I will tell you this: the doppelgänger of your brother Armin Blake, his name was Yoann McGregor, was not a Sentinel, but he helped us a lot. And of course, on our Earth, Earth 02, they were blood brothers, but he is still dead. We already gave you information about how we know about you, now tell us, Atziri Blake, the next most powerful Warsaw alien in the universe, why did you save us? If humans are a threat to you and you have stipulated laws in the universe that humans cannot know that you aliens exist, why did you save us and reveal yourself as an alien?

_ There are many things you don't know about us

_ Another broken record! - said Antoinette joining them - your niece Kesil speaks just like you.

_ You know very well that I have worked with FIREFLY, and you have been there constantly, feline, and they didn't tell me how they know about the conversion!

Antoinette and Gretel began to laugh.

_ What's so funny? - said Atziri

_ What happens is that in Earth 02 on a rescue mission, I helped your doppelgänger Zoe - said Gretel - other Sentinels and policemen and at one point you said, well, your doppelgänger Zoe: "they already heard the feline", meaning me.

_ And then they said that I was "the leader of the felines" - said Antoinette, when Gretel gave me the information.

_ You, Antoinette, are you a Sentinel?

_ No, she collaborated with the Legion of Sentinels but I created The Fighting Cats, she is Gretel McMahon, known as "The Air Cat", so she is a Fighting Cat, daughter of Jonathan McMahon, but although they called me "The leader of the felines" they should know that there are men who are also Fighting Cats, among them is my husband.

_ Very funny! McmMahon, you, Sky Panther, said you were autistic.

_ That's right, do you know what autistic people are?

_ Of course you do! But being autistic doesn't give you the right to...

_ Another reference that your doppelgänger and some other colleagues said! How long will they continue with the same?

_ Well, that's it! They haven't told me about the conversion, was it you, Fire Cat? Did you tell them about the conversion?

_No, we discovered it- said Dae-Hyun- but we still have our creations. I think we've answered your questions, now you tell us, Atziri, how did you find us and get here? What led you to save a Sentinel, the leader of The Fighting Cats and two of its members?

_I already told you, Sentinel! There are many things about us that they don't know.

_What we do know is that your husband, Allister, took the conversion- said Cameron Townsend, joining the conversation.

_They know it because I told them- said Atziri.

_We knew it from the scan that The Plunderer and Sky Panther did- said Cameron- a scan to see if our doppelgängers were here and our families, and for your information...

_Well, I don't want to keep listening to them! I've taken their side and yes! I married a human like you because Allister is different and not like you who emanate an indescribable selfishness. And even if you see me in your deceased partner, I am not her! So goodbye, I will keep my loyalty to FIREFLY, but not to another human organization.

_So now you despise those who are of the race of the man you love? - said Allister Truswell (Phantom of the Opera) making an appearance, Atziri is shocked and does not know what to say- Yes, that's right! I am not Allister whom you married, I am his doppelgänger, but I see you and my heart breaks too much because you are not Zoe, what I do know is that my double loves you too much just as I loved Zoe so much who died in my arms, please, never abandon him- Allister's voice breaks- and take good care of my son's doppelgänger, Cillian. But now, it's time for you to know a secret, the future is a mystery, the events too, but you're not going to say anything just like you hide that my niece Caitlin's doppelgänger is alive, look!

The mysterious woman who is

was being trained to be a Sentinel and she makes an appearance, (Allister's sister) is none other than Fiorella, doppelgänger of Armin's deceased wife.

_ Hello Atziri, well, I should call you sister-in-law, because in you I see my sister-in-law Zoe- said Fiorella- although I know that you are not literally because you are not Zoe from my Earth, I still see Zoe in you, my husband is dead, but I think I will still see him in your brother Armin.

Atziri feels as if a sword has been pierced through her entrails, she is going to hide from her brother that her daughter Kesil is alive! And now, does she have or is she going to hide that in this universe (The Base of the Multiverse), the doppelgänger of her sister-in-law Fiorella (who comes from the "Second Universe", is here and now she will have a collapse of mixed feelings and wounds of lost love?
