The bright light shines and woke Ali up from sleep. Groggily,he rub his eyes.

Ali:*yawn* Hm....What time is it...

...: It's a little pass 10 a.m. You slept like a log.

Ali look up just to see Reverse is warming up in his jumpsuit.Ali rub his eyes again.

Ali:*look around* Reverse....Where the heck are we?I'm sure my house doesn't have beach sight with big ass window to it.

Reverse just smile before walking to the window with his arms spread.

Reverse: Welcome to Banwa Private Island,Philipines!

.

.

.

.

Ah,yes. Of course this mf would do shit like this-

Banwa Private Island located in Northeastern Palawan in the Sulu Sea, Banwa Private Island's six hectares of lush, verdant landscaping and pristine white sand beaches provide a perfect environment for nature to thrive. The island provides sanctuary for an incredibly rich and diverse number of flora and fauna species.

Ali glared at Reverse as the latter is smiling widely.

Ali:First,what the hell?Second,how the heck-?

Reverse:*proudly show his black card* Your big brother is a black card holder,dear Ali.*smirk* Second,I brought you in after you fall asleep last night.Sure,you any of passport or anything.So I just bought a private jet and landed somewhere after we arrived.

Ali screamed in his pillow as much as he could.Of course Reverse would do something like this.

Ali: I didn't agree to go on a vacation with you,humanoid bastard.*grunt*

Reverse:*teasing face* Awh....Who's the one crying his heart out just because he was jealou-

Ali:*throw a pillow at Reverse* Shut up!

Reverse just laugh.He then walk to Ali and caress his hair.

Reverse: We got three days and two nights here.I made sure that this island is preserved just for us.*smile* Let's enjoy our vacation,okay little bro?

Ali just sigh lightly.

Ali: I would appreciate it if we just go to our secret base.

Reverse:*smile* Me too.But I had noticed the navy guard kept guarding around the area we used.And I don't want to risk flying us there.

Ali:*one eyebrow raised* Navy guard?We never had navy guard.

Reverse:*shrug* I don't know.For pre-caution,we better not go there for a while.

Ali sigh again.

Well,Reverse spend thousands for this private beach,why not enjoy it for a while?

"This plan is horrific! One hundred percent fool proof! Not even that Conqueror could pass it!"

"You are a total genius,I give you that "

The figure smiles wickedly,the hologram of the 'horrific plan' is displayed on the holo-table.

"So,we still on the plan?"

The figure asked,looking at their nails expectantly. The other two just nod in excited.

"Yes,we will build it for the customization.It's all you need,right?

"Yeah. You build the weapon,get the Conqueror,and we get  what we want."

"You got yourself a deal, madam."

Back on Earth, where Reverse and Ali are enjoying their vacation. Ali is happily surfing the wave while Reverse,with his unknown vampire traits,(he just hates sunburn),resting on the rest bench under a big umbrella beach,totally enjoying the peace.

Why we never do thing like this before? Totally refreshing!

Because we were busy terrorizing the galaxy,duh.

Boss,let me out please!! The wave- It calls meeee!

Reverse sigh lightly.

Too much for peace.

Reverse:*took off his sunglasses* Guys,cool it down. I'm still not ready for Ali to see all of us.

Told ya he's ashamed of us.

I blamed you Blaze.

What-?!

Reverse chuckled,looking at his stretched hand.

It has been long.He has been in no-killing state for so long he is proud of himself.

No stabby- As Ali would always reminded him.

Reverse: *small smile* I beat you,bastard. You can no longer control me. I have something you don't these past years.

It is that exact moment his eyes caught Ali glide swiftly with the waves soaring high. He saw Reverse was looking and he giddily wave his hand to Reverse before continuing back surfing the wave.

Small smirk adorning his face.

Reverse: I finally had that 'so-called weakness" you always told me to avoid.

Time Skip~

It is night time. Reverse and Ali are still on the beach with new set of clothes. Ali is wearing thigh-length shorts,white T-Shirt and sleeveless vest while Reverse is wearing knee-length shorts with black leggings and sleeveless black turtleneck.

Both of them are sitting on a log in front of a fire while roasting marshmallows.

Really comforting.

Ali: You know what? This doesn't feel bad at all. You are forgiven.

Reverse:*chuckle* Thank you,your Highness.

They both fell in silence.

Reverse: *eat some marshmallow* From now on,please directly tell me if you were upset with me. I failed to detect it if you were being like that.

Ali just rolled his eyes. He was very sure he was being obvious. Reverse is just dense not to notice it.

And yes. He aware he was being a brat for it but he paid no mind since he now liked being pampered.

Hoho-

Ali: Now you knew it I don't like being toss aside. Make sure you keep that in mind.

Reverse just chuckle lightly.

Reverse: No worries,kiddo. You will always be my number one priority.

Something felt weird saying that. His previous number priority was to be the greatest Conqueror.

Who knew having friend can change you alternately.

It because you wanted to change.

Because he's the same just like us?

Vacation. You wanted vacation.

Because he treated you nothing like that bastard?

Reverse chuckled internally. His powers- his Elementals maybe would take a lot to accept his changes,but at least they are supportive as ever.

Ali: What's so funny?

Reverse look back at Ali,pure smile adorning his face.

Reverse: Nothing. Just feeling grateful for meeting you.*smile*

He then ruffles Ali's hair and drop his arm around his shoulder.

Reverse: I will bring you to space one day,okay?I can show you something that not even astronomic scientist can.

Ali:*sparkles* Really? You would do that?

Reverse: Yeah,after you eighteen birthday. I promise.

Ali:*whine* Awhhh but that's in four years from now!

Reverse just laugh,teasing Ali.

Reverse: Well,I guess you just have to wait for it then.

He then shows Ali his palm,blue light flowing around his palm,creating a small diamond-shaped crystal with lightning bolt in it.

Reverse: Here, this is a token of my part in our agreement.

He put the crystal in Ali's hand,who is still dumbfounded.

Reverse: As long as this crystal does not melt,it indicates that I am alive.If it melt, it would be the only time,I wouldn't be able to fulfill my promise,which means my death.

Ali:*hit Reverse lightly* Don't say that!

Reverse: *giggle* I am a man of word. I don't do empty promises.

Reverse then ruffles Ali's hair as the pouting boy glares at him.

Reverse: Just wait until the time comes,okay little bro?

Ali want to choke Reverse out of anger for saying stuff like that. But seeing his smile and the crystal in his hand just make Ali pout.

The crystal is so pretty under the moonlight.

Token of agreement huh?

Ali: So,what is my token of this agreement? What do you want?

Reverse just chuckled, totally not expecting that question.

Reverse; Your token is to grow up,be as healthy as you can so I can know you wouldn't need my protection.

Space is his territory. The galaxy is under his control. He knew not many species of aliens like him. So,if they got ambushed in space,Reverse want Ali to be strong to at least defend himself.

Ali: Well....then you need to cook me more foods.

They both burst out laughing after that and continue talking.

The four year time is counting now.
