¥Page 1 - the good or the wrong son?¥

Tasyo's point of view:

We failed, we are doomed. This time I can't believe that they stepped in and makes us prisoners, while we were not armed. (Time around: 13:00pm)

-But first let me tell you how this prisoning incident happened, okay let's start!- I said, because the prisoner who stayed here longer asked, and was confused. -While we were hiding at an orphanage, clearly the kids where hiding too because of us.- I said, yet the prisoner sitting on the ground a distance in front of us is desperate for a question, and we let him, -Where are you? Like what planet is it?- he asked.

I let Chief answer the question, it was AustraMars. While I just stare at that mans appearance is this half animal or something? Well not gonna lie his appearance answered it. Earlier he introduced himself as an armoured guard and just got his position removed when he found guilty for that one crime.

What was "that" crime? It was when he is accompanied the two suspects, their operation he explained at the court. That to let go of the long lost Prince and the daughter of President Busch, so those two are called the Main World's warrior, since they are about to fight. However I believe that the Main World is just a myth, and those who saying it's wrong, well they present a fake proof.

Okay let's go back, so the prisoner's name is Carl Orinoco. I think they talking about the orphanage, so let me interrupt them, -Hey Chief!- I shouted when he's actually sitting next to me, therefore he slaps me in the head. -Hey Tarquin, don't just butt in.- he yelled, and I shrugged saying, -Heh, sorry Chief. But do you ever heard what that orange hair guy said? After the armoured guard takes us?- however he shakes his head; it's like saying no, with a confused face in it.

-Okay that cute orange hair guy said, Hey! Don't worry I'll free you! You don't deserve this... And thats all.- I said, and notice that Carl Orinoco is interested, and I hope this helps us, I had hope!

-My boy, Tarquin. Is that really true? Or you're just delusional? That a boy you were crushing on will come and save you? Tarquin, stop that! The last time it didn't work!- Chief Gunnar argued, and seems like he is tired of it and I think that will add on his problems. It was quiet now, as Chief scolded me and I see that he has his hands cover his forehead meaning he is stressed.

I stayed quiet and I place my hand on the sand, as I played with it. This prison is made out of rocks while the floor is sand, besides the magic here is the bars where it isn't made out of metal but water, at first I thought it was glass.

-Chief Gunnar, if you please... Just trust me? Trust me Chief, that guy will free us here. Just this one time.- I begged, as the answer I heard came from another. -Yes the boys right, Chief. Give him a chance, but if not his Majesty's son will get a chance instead.- From that, finally! Chief look at us and asked, -Carl, which son? Also what that chance you are talking about?-

Carl Orinoco just smiled and said, -Alright, I just hope it's not the wrong son that will get a chance. The wrong son wished that to end the war is to end the one who started it.- in that I asked, -What about the other one?-

That makes Carl Orinoco think and he said, -The good son wished to be engaged to a girl he loved. But wait! I heard from the armoured guards last night that, the girl is the daughter of the former president of Sitaw that means if that happens— it was cut, but in good news Chief added, -The two planets will be allies!- it looks like he got it! The two then stands up and hugs eachother in excitement. (Time check: 14:21pm)

However I want to interrupt them, -Wait! I think both sons are wrong.- I said, and in that the two stop hugging each other and went sit back down. -What? What do you mean? Tarquin.- Chief asked, because of that I explain it to them, -First is he wants war and the second he is using the girl, and I don't like both of them... So if I were you, Chief.- I looked at him, and said, -You should give me a chance.- I grinned, and with a grumpy face he had, he said, -Tarquin, that won't work— it was cut.

We heard a explosion, and a wind that almost ruined my perfect hair. We stood up and hold on the bars, seeing from the left where the explosion happened because there is smoke. I then fixed my hair while that happen, I somehow had a curtain bangs. Which Chief Gunnar told me if I somehow stop being talkative, I would be a boy again.

¥Page 2 - I'm not done yet¥

After the team of Mother Hazel scared the hell out of those armoured guards, they then decided to check what's inside the prison, by stepping on those water lily's that elevates. (Time around: 15:00pm)

The first one to make it is the orange hair guy, which he now steps on the edge of the floating prison. He holds on, at the exposed brick as he felt relieved that he is holding onto something that makes him feel safe. Therefore he focus on coming near his team than looking down; in fact might caused him to shake and be frightened.

There is no other way but this consecutive bricks, and a narrow path that goes around the prison. He decides to stop to fix his glasses by taking off his gas mask, and after he fix it. He looks up to see there was a window but the bars are clear, "Are these made out of glass?" He wondered, as the window was on top of the exposed brick. He groans that he can't reach it, -I assume that the pretty boy who's obsessed with me is inside. Let me tell them.- he said, as he proceed to slowly walk on the narrow path; that is sized of a picture frame.

-Hey! Jerry! Jerry!- A man's voice called, as he heard it and yelled, -What? I'm here! Wait for me!- and in a minute he received a response, -Please hurry! You've need to see this!- another man's voice yelled. -Hmm... I'm sure that's Trayvon and Izaak.- Jerry murmured, as he arrived to the scene where there is an exposed stairs where the team stands and looks like the black guy wearing a blue cap is lock picking the red wood door. "That might be the entrance!" Jerry happily thought.

He then carefully step onto the stairs, as he is catching breath from the gas mask he is wearing and it's the same for his team. -Is it okay?- a voice of a woman asked, and Izaak replied, -Almost there and— the lock clicks, and that mean it's open. The lock is somehow at the center of the wooden ship's wheel-shaped doorknob, -It doesn't make any sense that this door knob looking like a ships steering wheel, you know? Had a lock?- Jerry complained, and the braided hair guy answered him, -Well, to be more secured.-

Izaak then join them, -Heh, I actually need a hand?- he asked, and the guy Trayvon turn to him and asked, -What for?- as his friend point out, and demonstrate on how to open by holding onto the ships steering wheel, and seeing that he couldn't steer it. Making it obvious that he needed strength that's why he calls for one.

Izaak let go of it when his friend came to try, -You know there's only one solution for that problem.- their AustraMarsian friend exclaimed, as she carry a duffle bag on her shoulder. -Sigh*, what is it, Hazel? You want to blow up this thing? Couldn't you just go a day without making any explosion?!- Izaak argued, as the orange hair guy interrupted, -Hey! Izaak, don't complain about it... A-atleast that explosion makes this search a lot more faster.- he somehow stuttered, and that makes Hazel appreciate and thank him, yet Izaak turn around to confront him, -So now you're taking her side? What?! First we planned this operation to not destroy or kill but look... We did it anyway. Who started it? You.- he pointed out, and from that Jerry notice that the smart guy grabs his sunny laser gun, that makes him alarm and pull out his Daggers; indeed a knife use for combat.

They pointed out their weapons at eachother's chest, and only the orange hair guy had it pointed at Izaak's left side which the heart is located. While Izaak is pointing his gun at his friend's right side. He scoffs, -Heh, you think that would work? Mines, could burn you into crisp in any second.- he warned, -Izaak! Stop it.- Trayvon told him, but in his friends response is different, -Shut up, I just don't get it. Why we let this four eyes join us. He isn't helpful at all.-

In that Mother Hazel step up, -Excuse me? Aren't you the one who told us to stop the algorithm? Don't you just see, Izaak? You're prayer is answered.- she argued, and from that she got a point. However he didn't say a word, and the only thing they heard was a sound of clicking, as they notice that it was Trayvon who already have the door wide open.

He turn to them and said, -Let's go, but if you boys keep on arguing then Mother Hazel and I would do this mission instead.- after that he looks back and walks inside, also Hazel followed but inside she stop to say, -Alright, you two. It's up to you if an army of armoured guards gets you.- as she said it, afterwards she leaves.

Jerry was the first one to realize and wants to catch up to her, as he slowly puts back his dagger in one of its pocket, and grabs his friends gun to put it down, but it seems that Izaak doesn't want to. Because of that the Filipino guy trying to convince him, -Izaak... I know you don't want me, but you knew the reason why I'm here. After I take my friend home, then I'll quit. I'll leave this team.- in a sad tone, and his friend replied, -My workmates become different when you came.- with a hatred that can be seen in his eyes.

He go put the sunny lazer gun back, as he step up on the stair and holds on to the door frame. As he touch and holds his friends hand, but Jerry didn't see it coming that Izaak pushed him using the holding hands, and was lucky he still has a stair to step on however it's on the edge as Jerry is trying to keep on the balance because anytime, he might slip and fall or worse Izaak would let go of his hand.

Leaving him scared and confused, -Izaak! Don't do this! Please. Do you even hate me that much? That it even ended up like this?!- he said, as he received a death stare from Izaak. Later they heard an explosion coming from inside and felt an earthquake from it.

That makes the holding hands slip but right on time Jerry holds Izaak's arm using his other hand fast, but it still slips, so he used his another hand and it's like he is holding on a rope and use it. After that he reach his hand to the door frame, and let go of Izaak. (Time check: 14:32pm)

Still hears the breathing from that gas mask, as they are now face to face as well as holding onto the door frame, waiting until the shaking of the prison stops. It does and Jerry was about to go as he steps on the stairs, but he stopped when he notice that Izaak called him by his name.

-Jerry, I promise, as someone who's the same age as you. I promise, I will take you home safely.- he said, as seems like Jerry don't get it and said, -Hmm... Anyways let's catch up to them.- in that Izaak sees him smile through his eyes and hearing the tone of eachother voice. They know what that person's feeling.

Authors note: In this page the brothers actually speak Arabic and I just added a translation for y'all <⁠(⁠ ̄⁠︶⁠ ̄⁠)⁠>

¥Page 3 - Being responsible¥

(Time around: 15:00pm) -Kuya Mark, why do you even like about her anyways? I just don't get it? Okay to be clear, Kuya Mark. I don't remember, how you two even met?- his brother asked, as he is practicing his fighting skills in their room. Meanwhile the brother who is Mark is currently learning Arabic which is hard for him to understand, also culture shock hits him. But he tries to learn it every single day, since most of the people and creatures here do not learn English.

-(I don't quite remember, bro) لا أتذكر تمامًا يا أخي- Mark said it with confidence, that makes his brother stop what his doing and looks confused, as he put down his sword. -Woah, a whole sentence proves that practice makes perfect real!- he said as amazed by it, when Mark is thankful.

-Thank you, but Clark. I do remember that one time we took a visit from another planet? It was a planet where Mythical creatures lives. But when was that? (Sorry, brother) آسف يا أخي my memory is kinda blurry.- he shrugged while writing Arabic letters, nor alphabet in his notebook. He thought in another world he would have not to go to school or doing homeworks, but it's the other way around. This time he need to have knowledge and responsibility at the same time, as part of Royalty. He do not care but if it's for his parents to be together again, we'll it works and everythings going well from now.

-(Okay, brother) حسنًا يا أخي, Mythical creatures planet? You mean Agwamarina Mitos? We only visit that once, and it's way back in 2011.- Clark answered, as he put his sword that is called shamshir in the scabbard indeed attached to his belt. Looks like he just finished his practice, -Oh yeah, that's right! That's when we decided to take a look at the beach.- his brother said.

-Starts at year 2011 = month of November 5-

¥Page 4 - How I first met you¥

-(Hey bro! Let's explore the beach) أهلاً أخي! هيا نستكشف الشاطئ!- Mark said, but his brother pointed that their dad is having a talk with an official that means they can't. Probably Mark guessed it, -(But why the other kids are having fun out there. You're just like dad... wait why not you ask permission to go, to dad? you are his favourite.) لكن لماذا يستمتع الأطفال الآخرون هناك؟ أنتِ مثل والدكِ تمامًا... لحظة، لماذا لا تطلبين الإذن من والدكِ؟ أنتِ طفله المفضل.- he got an idea and trying to convince his twin to do it.

When his twin had it, he turn and asked dad, -(Dad, could we go to the beach? Don't worry, Dad. We will just play with those kids outside.) أبي، هل يمكننا الذهاب إلى الشاطئ؟ لا تقلق يا أبي. سنلعب مع الأطفال في الخارج.- as the dad notice and told his friend excuse me for a moment and turn to his son and said, -(Sure, son. But make sure to come back before dark also remember never go near the sea.) بالتأكيد يا بني. لكن تأكد من العودة قبل حلول الظلام، وتذكر ألا تقترب من البحر أبدًا.- after that Clark smiles and nodded as a response while there's his brother cheers and jumps in excitement.

His twin brother went to open the glass door first, while he followed. (Time check: 17:26pm) Outside the house where the officials meet looks modern made with wood that is painted white and gold. Also it represents bahay kubo.

While Mark is excited and running about to reach the sand when he bump into someone. They both fell on the ground, and seems like they hit eachother's head. Mark opens his eyes and sees that someone he bumped is a girl, also a camera. He decides to pick it up and touch her hand and holds it while he said, -(Are you okay?) هل أنت بخير؟- but that language is foreign, so she couldn't understand. However her eyes widened when she realized who he was, -(Prince Mark? Is that really you?) Prince Mark? Ikaw ba talaga yan?- she asked with excitement.

Although they don't understand eachother, but Mark is curious about her eye color, so he stand up and take out his hand as the girl accepted it as well as receiving the camera back. He now points his fingers to his eyes and said, -Purple, purple... Pretty, عيون جميلة- and somehow the girl understand, as she is happy about it. Because of that she notices big cut from his neck as she come near to point it but the boy step back and is getting nervous. She stop and points her neck, from that Mark realize what it means and touch to cover his both sides of his neck; namely it is gills. Mark is now getting sweaty and nervous, while the girl is tilts her head and is curious.

But right on time Mark's brother side hug him, and said, -(It's nice meeting you and if you can excuse us?) سررت بلقائك وإذا سمحت لنا؟- while waving goodbye as the girl is responding with a wave too. The boys then went to a wooden bench and sits there. The brother is concerned and said, -(Are you insane?! Bro, your scales are showing up. We don't want to scare—) هل أنت مجنون؟! يا أخي، ميزانك بدأ بالظهور. لا نريد أن نخيفك— it was cut when Mark response, -(I'm sorry! She was too close! Like I know a little english and I hope she does.) أنا آسف! كانت قريبة جدًا! كأني أعرف القليل من الإنجليزية، وآمل أن تكون كذلك. - he yelled. While his twin tries to calm down, -(Calm down, Mark. Relax, relax. Look! Your scales are disappearing, just don't be nervous.) اهدأ يا مارك. استرخِ، استرخِ. انظر! ميزانك يتلاشى، لا تتوتر.- he point it out, as his brother felt relieved. -(Why not we just watch the sunsets and the waves?) لماذا لا نشاهد فقط غروب الشمس والأمواج؟- Clark asked as his brother finds it boring, -(Kind of boring to me) إنه أمر ممل بالنسبة لي نوعًا ما.- he yawns, which made his twin annoyed, -(Well if you don't want to, then go talk to that girl again. Let's see how she will run away from you when she saw those scales!) حسنًا، إن لم تُرِد، فتحدث مع تلك الفتاة مجددًا. لنرَ كيف ستهرب منك عندما ترى تلك القشور!- he argued. -(From now, you look scary Clark. No wonder you are shy and quiet.) من الآن فصاعدًا، تبدو مخيفًا يا كلارك. لا عجب أنك خجول وهادئ.- his brother argued, as giving him a side eye before he stood up.

Meanwhile leaving Clark annoyed, -(Well good luck.) حسنًا حظًا سعيدًا.- as he don't dare to look at him. Mark then came past by infront of him, without any care. In a minute then twin glazed at the sun coming down and never realized it was already night. He only notice that someone sits beside him and it was a girl, and she looks happy. He is amazed by her beauty as he didn't know that she is already talking, by that he asked, -Sorry, huh? (Can you repeat what you just said?) هل يمكنك تكرار ما قلته للتو؟- from that she understands and asked, -English? You speak english, mate?- but he wondered, "How is this girl so beautiful? Her purple eyes... (First time seeing it in person. But she seems foreign here too—) أول مرة أشوفها بنفسي. بس هي كمان بتبدو غريبة هنا— it was cut when she was trying to get his attention by saying, -Hey, hello? Mate, you speak english?- and in response to Clark stuttering as he said, -Uh, yes o-only little english.- That made the girl happy and asked, - Are you a prince? Well by the looks of your clothing, it does. Let me ask, may you introduce yourself?- so he replied, -You're right. I'm Clark Jace Duran, the Prince of Coral reef. I'm 18 years old, and how about you?- and she answered, -Okay, that explain you are older than me. Can I call you Prince Cj?- but that makes him confused and asked, -Huh? Using initials then? Cool.- he chuckled.

From that girl she realized, she haven't introduce herself yet, -Okay, mate— I mean Prince Cj, my name's Alicia Ashlee Busch—

¥Page 5 - Her wrong doings¥

-What?! So you're telling me.- the brother said as he stood up from his seat and is in shock. While Clark is shirtless and about to wear his clothes from the cabinet, as he said, -Yes, the girl I talked to is Alicia... Maybe that's why you only remembers her purple eyes and mistaken her in the present day.- with a lazy tone.

-Arghh! We don't even know eachother's name! I can't believe this, I swear in the present day. I saw Alicia and the other girl only have pure eyes.- Mark said as he is becoming crazy. -Woah, chill out... Wait, do you mean? In the present day thing. The other girl had purple eyes. Then why didn't you get a chance to talk to eachother?- his brother asked, and when Mark sits down and calms down, he explained, -*Sigh, that day during recess at school, I take a peek at our classroom to check if my friend was there because I was looking for him... When I saw my girl classmate named Susan, she was taking off her brown contact lenses while holding a mirror... You know she was alone that time. I didn't know the moment she take the brown contact lenses, her eyes showed purple ones! I know I ain't tripping, she had purple eyes! And she was checking it in her mirror, she seems tired wearing contacts. I was happy to approach her but something was stopping me that something is wrong. That I can't be with her.-

That story made his twin realized something and came towards his brother and said, -Excuse me.- as Mark moves away with his chair and homework, so his twin holds the knob of the small cabinet that is attached to the table. He slides it and inside, it was full of newspapers and he goes searching for something.

Later he found it and brings out two newspapers, also he slide back the cabinet, not drawer. He puts down the two pieces of newspaper, as his brother is curious and came near.

Clark said, -Look, this one November 20, 2011. Senator Summer "Sam" D. Sabado reports to the authority that her daughter had run away and found that the daughter used her mom's spaceship. Sen. Sam stated that her daughter have no driver licence and still hasn't reach legal age yet. Bet she's using her mom's.- after he reads it, the news left them stunned to speak.

-(Hey, brother. What's the daughters name?) أهلاً أخي، ما اسم البنت؟- Mark asked, and that left his twin wonder and answered, -(Her names, Susan Clara Mercado.) اسمها سوزان كلارا ميركادو.- leaving him in deep thought, and questioned, -What was the reason? (Like why?) مثل لماذا؟-

-Hey, why not you read the second part? (Another Article.) مقال آخر- twin who's standing asked as he points it where. -November 24, 2011. Australia declares state of emergency due to sudden climate change. Another article same date. Redboar has been experiencing heat index increasing 45°, warning people to stay hydrated and stay cool. Wait... This article must be the reason! Green lab reports the stolen orb and stated that the cctv cameras with lazers; in fact a security. Has been cut when the electricity went out, apparently without power the strong security machines are useless. (That's dumb, whoever's idea is that, is a loser.) هذا غبي، من لديه هذه الفكرة فهو خاسر.- Mark dropped an opinion with it after he finished reading. Therefore his twin gave him the last newspaper and began to explain what happen in that article, since it's long.

-Heres a break down, so there's a cctv in this street. It shows a suspicious girl carrying a bag that looks heavy to her. She is a foreigner, rather came from Agwamarina planet. By looking at her appearance, and this picture shows that she enters a restaurant as it looks like she is following those teenagers. That isn't a restaurant but a type of spaceship whose inside is a restaurant use for travelers and Astronauts. Later it begin to take off and flew away. (This happens during lunch.) هذا يحدث أثناء الغداء.-

By that Mark believe that one picture, where teenagers enter the restaurant is where Alicia is with those boys, maybe a friend? Or a foe to him. That green long hair girl is Alicia he confirmed, not assuming.
