As John walked towards the sidewalks as he saw many people having fun with their own lives, he was carrying his travel back to go back for where he came from. As he heard a car driving and suddenly stop beside him and the door open then revealed James e said "I've heard that you are going on the vacation?" he smirked. John laughed and replied in mock tone " Here I thought you have retired, I see that you've become a uber driver eh?". James smiled and said, " Cheeky [email protected]#&%∆£, right come on in". he looked back at the road then John entered the car and they continue on their destination. After one hour, they arrived at their destination he got out of the car and he stops as he heard his best friend says " Удачи брат(Good luck, brother). John smiled and said "Ты тоже, брат. оставаться в безопасности(You too, brother. Stay safe). And that he left, as James saw John's retreating form, he chuckles and whispered "Der Dämon war zurück, um euch alle zu töten(The Demon was back, to kill you all)". He closed the window and left.
*Meanwhile*
As Robert was sitting at his table while drinking his beer on the glass, he heard the door open and saw his oldest brother stand before him. They looked at each other's eyes and Robert said " Frank, you're right on time". The man named Frank Zenith McCain Kennedy in short Frank Zenith the oldest brother of their family. He wore a blue polo with yellow stripes, a black jacket, black pants and shoes, white skin, dark faded hair, he wears blue eyeglasses and a gold watch on his left arm. As he saw his older brother facing him he asked " What is is Robert, how's the plan work?" Robert sighed and replied, " It is a success, however, we have a problem". As Frank heard the report he takes out his jacket and put them on the couch and asked "I see, it is a success. But, what is the problem? We already hid our identity clean as [email protected]#$ yet there is a problem?" Robert chuckled and said, "Have you heard our brother?". Frank froze as he heard the name of his 'little brother'. he asked again " What about him?" Robert got up and replied " What about him? He already knocked our doors brother, he knew already our 'identity' and our 'purpose' before I step in". Frank sighed as he massages his temples and said: " I guess we have to pay the price". Robert added " The worst". He sighed and asked, " Do you still remember the declaration of John's word?" As Frank froze again and he remembers John's words, he looked at his brother with guilt. "We already walked into a thin ice Frank, one wrong move or we're dead", as Frank bow his head down, shaking because of guilt that spread across his souls. Robert drinks again his glass of wine then sighed in frustration and sits on his chair.

*Meanwhile*
As John was riding on the airplane with his earphones on, watching the view of the world with chaos and destruction, however, it was beautiful. As the plane arrived in the Philippines, John saw many people talked to each other about the place they wanted to visit after that, they get off to the plane.
*a few minutes late*
As John arrived at the airport and he called on the taxi then he went in and he saw a driver and the driver asked: " Where to sir?" I replied " Bayview Park Hotel Manila". The driver nodded and drove off.
John's POV
As I was riding in the taxi towards the Bayview Park Manila Hotel and saw many people busying with their own lives, my old life on where I was traveling with my little sister finding shelter away from my so-called 'brothers'. I sighed as I recalled my memories about the past, I cannot help but wonder about how they do such a cruel act towards me and my little sister. I looked at the front and saw Vincent my brother whose waiting in me and thought that I am already here. Vincent ran towards the car and opened the door for me he smiled and said " John it's good to see ya, buddy". he and I shake our hands then we do a brotherly hug, after that. We laughed and I pay the taxi driver and the driver drove off, Vincent asked me "What brings you here brother?" I looked at him and said, "Maybe we should go to your house and talked about it". Vincent nodded and we go to his Ford Figo and left.
Hours passed as we reached my old house. As Vincent parked the car and we both get out of the car I looked at my old house in sadness, as we walking my old home. We entered the broken hallway and proceeded to my old favorite rooms since I was a child, Vincent looks at me in empathy because he knew the pain of losing something so close to you. I looked at him saying that " I know, brother". As we finished looking at the broken rooms we were standing the door on the floor that leads in the basement. I opened up the door and Vincent opened up the flashlight then I opened the flashlight as well. We walked down and saw a dusty room full of books in the bookshelves, a table with a lamp, we saw a sledgehammer that rested on the table. I pick it up and walked towards the front wall and tap it to make a mark on where I can slam it. As Vincent watches me wrecking the wall, he leaned on the table and starting to humming.
*Meanwhile*
Frank and Robert were drinking wine at the dining table with regret and fear as they drinking they're respective wines they saw each other's back that John was standing behind them in hatred and anger filled inside their youngest brother's eyes. As they can feel their souls were touched by a devil itself, while they were eating Robert and Vincent suddenly starting to sing

And I fly
Further away
Than I've ever been before
It's safe to say
This sky
Is lonely and grey
But every night I feel your gravity waves
And the world is cold
But it's beautiful
I wish you were here now
I miss your soul
But you lost your light
When the darkness called
But I stand here waiting
As Vincent was watching John breaking the wall using his sledgehammer in full force, as he was watching John's back and suddenly his vision turned into a white background with John standing before him and he saw John's families both biological and adoptive. They suddenly fall into the floor and their blood starting to spread, he saw a dark clouds that stand behind spreading around John as the dark hands reaching him that spreads across his body then dragged into the darkness, without a light, his soul cannot come back as he used to be and no hope come to rescue his eternal darkness.
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
And I fly
Above the enslaved
My soul is burning
Like an earth reclaimed
And I try
A final crusade
This world is changing
But I'm still the same
Robert and Frank remember their past deeds, killing their parents and John's adoptive parents trying to save their wives in the hands of the demons and they were trying to protect John in the harm's way. They recalled the memories when the demons don't exist, the smiles, the laugh, the best and worst memories that happen in their life suddenly gone and they saw John in the blood that scattered throughout his body and he was holding a sword that was bathed in blood, they felt a huge spank or a big rock that crushed into their souls.
And will you be bold
Will you lose control?
I could never desert you
I could never let go
If you fall in line
And the zenith calls
I'm standing waiting
As Frank and Robert recalled their memories as their lovers were trapped by their 'enemy' that was lived in captivity on the other side of the world/De Stenen Wereld. And John remembers his past memories with his mentor training him to get stronger and yet, he was now so close to reaching the goal that he was longing for.
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
It's your magnetic hold
A gravity pull
I can feel you in waves
When your melody comes
It falls from above
I will not be afraid
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
When Robert and Vincent ended their song they closed their eyes and go back to their respective doings. As Vincent opened his eyes and saw John with a big crack wall before him as John dragged a big black case with debris, he blow the debris away and he opened the case. He saw a case full of books, papers, scrolls, and also their favorite gun. John's favorite pistol was PP9 w/ Suppression that Eron Arisato used before the 'Great War' started and after that, he created a copy to keep the original from him and the copy one gave it to John as a reminder of their friendship. On the other hand, Vincent's favorite pistol was a Berreta M9 and he saw an old scratch that he used in the 'Great War'. As they saw each other and nodded they packed up and John called a friend of his to get his private plane to go back home with Vincent.
*Meanwhile*
As Robert opened his eyes and saw Frank putting the guns and place them in the living room as he saw his oldest brother ready to go for 'war' with their little brother he got up from the chair and help him to prepare for everything they need.
*Meanwhile at John's house*

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.
