The battle is over, the people are saved. As my friends and I stand on the top of the world, I look back, and remember how it all began...

Real Household, Cambridge

"Young Master, are you there? You have to get up! You're gonna be late for training school again!"

"Coming Aldrick! Just give me a moment to finish up!" I say as I start getting out of bed, then think to myself 'I really have to fix that old alarm clock.' 

"Make haste then, your breakfast is ready downstairs, it's gonna get cold!"

"Thanks Aldrick, have mom and dad left yet?"

"Yes, Mister and Missus Real have already left, they were waiting for you, you know?"

"I'm sorry I had something to do."

"I'm sure you did master Kris, I'm sure you did. Now don't make me drag you out here myself!"

I feel a shiver run down my spine and hurry up getting dressed and cleaned up. I pick up my books, my backpack and rush out of my room. As I make my way downstairs I greet the staff. I can see them smirking, and hear them lightly laughing at me for being late yet again.

As I arrive at the table I see an elaborate breakfast with French Toast, a big chocolate smoothie, and some Eggs and bacon arranged into a smiley face, as well as several fruits and other things spread evenly around. "Wow Aldrick! you guys really outdid yourselves this time."

"It is my greatest pleasure to hear that coming from you Young Master, it would be great if you weren't running late! Now finish the plate and beverage in front of you we're running out of time!"

"Wait what tim-"

"Late, by quite a bit, I'm afraid I'll have to use extra energy just to take you boys there in a timely fashion"

"Wait is-"

"Yes, Young Master Paine has been waiting for quite a bit already"

"Oh Crap!" As I hear that I immediately start gobbling as much food as I can before heading out. *nom* *nom* *nom* *slurp*

"Young Master! Slow down! You will choke on your food!"

I ignore his warning and go even faster. *nom* *nom* *slurp*

"Sigh, all those years teaching you manners..."

*gulp* "Sorry Aldrick but you're right! I can't let Max wait any longer, I have to hurry! Now quickly charge your Ego quick! We are really gonna need it!"

"Sigh, understood right away"

Real Household, Cambridge

The door to the household swings wide open as I rush outside, Aldrick right behind me.

"Yo, Kris what took you so long? David already left, we're gonna be late!"

"Wait David was here too!?"

"Of Course he was! Did you think we'd forget our best boi's birthday just like that?"

As I hear that, I freeze on the spot and look at Max dumbfounded. "D-did you forget your own birthday? You fungus, how can you forget something like that? We even made plans for tonight and-"

"I forgot ok! I still haven't fixed my old alarm clock, you know this!"

"What how?! We fixed it last week!"

"My Ego broke it again..." There's an awkward pause in the conversation, as even Aldrick gives me a worried look.

"Young Master are the Night-"

"Aldrick! No time! we're gonna be late! please!"

"Fine, but I'm bringing this up with Mister and Missus Real." Aldrick says as he makes hand motions and red energy starts to leak out. 

"Fine!"

"Hey Kris is it that thing? Do you want me to sleep over again?." Max asks me in a worried tone. "I-uh well...maybe...But we're still going through our plan for tonight!"

"Should we invite David too?"

"Nah, I think he's busy training again" I say. 

We both feel a disturbance in the air nearby as a portal big enough to fit a person appears. "Young Masters, bonding between friends is nice and all but..." suddenly me and Max both feel a chill down our backs, as Aldricks eyes glow faintly red. "I won't forgive any more tardiness! You have to go, NOW!" Suddenly we feel ourselves picked up, and thrown into the portal. "Ah!" "Ah!"

After the portal closes a maid comes from inside the house. "Aldrick!"

"hm? Ah! Melinda dear, what's the matter?"

"What do you mean what's the matter?! You know exactly what's the matter! You were throwing the kids around like ragdolls again!"

"Hmm? Why I merely facilitated their means of transport" Aldrick says as he heads into the house.

"Sigh, how many times have we told you to take it easy on them!" Melinda says and follows him inside. "Hey! Pay attention, what are you looking at!"

"Melinda do you...see this? Sigh"

"Wha-oh..."
