The world was never the same after that day.

Humanity learned that they weren't alone in the universe, but that wasn't something they had the time to worry about.

Their realization was accompanied by catastrophe.

Creatures beyond their wildest imaginations poured down from the sky and appeared from the earth. They slaughtered humans as if it was their singular purpose, driving them to the brink of extinction.

The people of the world did everything in their power, developing unique traits and technologies to create a united front their enemies couldn't penetrate. 

They secured victories and repopulated, feeling as if they stood a chance against the foreign invaders. 

They fought and they fought, doing everything they possibly could to ensure their survival.

Until the Great Calamities appeared. 

In front of them, humanity was nothing regardless of its efforts.

One by one, the worlds were turned into piles of rubble in between the cracks of their teeth. Civilization was torn apart, and the evolved humans living within could do nothing to stop its collapse. 

Humanity itself was left extinct, and in the end, only a single man was left alive amidst the chaos. 

Why?

For what reason were they punished so? 

Nobody knew why the attacks began in the first place.

He looked into the distance at the memories of the past and firmed his resolve. 

“It can only be me.”

He knew of a miracle that could return him to the place of those memories.

He knew of a way to make the wheels of time spin in reverse. 

And using it, he alone would save humanity from its doomed fate. 

That was his sacred duty as its final survivor.

The farewell was once again short. This time, the team wasn't stopping for an extended period. They were purely landing to let Amaya and Gio off.

The moment the two were far enough away to avoid the heatwave of the engines, the plane took off again, joining its fleet as it moved towards the next mission location.

"It must be tough," Gio said as he watched them leave.

"That's not for you to be worried about," Amaya responded, rustling his hair.

"Let's find somewhere to set up camp first. I chose this place specifically for your training, so we'll find a lot of good opponents as soon as we start looking."

Gio accepted her words and followed her.

They were once again in a jungle, but they were on the complete other side of the world from Haven now.

The atmosphere was hot and humid. The trees were so tall and numerous that they blotted out the sun, only allowing its light to fall in rays that cascaded onto the shadowy ground.
