The next day that followed, after hearing loads of noises outside some of the orphans with a little curiosity gathered in front of the door of their dorm to see what was going on and what was going on, was the Digital scientists were leaving the orphanage, and with them were some of the HU squads escorting them to the main gate.

Between these orphans gathered outside was Axell, at first he didn't know what was going on till he saw Jackson so he ran to get next to him and began to ask and confirm what everyone had on their chest.

"What does a tree do when it is not needed anymore" asked Axell

"It leaves" Quickly replies Jackson

"So Mama Leah really did it?"

"I did not know she had this in her!! But she did it for you guys"

"I guess she likes us more than Devonte thought or should I say your dad" Axell mumbled while he looked at him straight to see his reaction, but he didn't react surprised at all he was just somehow proud that someone found it out and that someone was no one other than Axell

"What can I say, it's not the first time he has been proved wrong, and look I knew that day would come when one of you guys would know about my life-"

"I'm not judging"

"I know and I also know what you are thinking right now, I know you are like my best bud and I should have told you but there are some secrets that are not worth revealing naturally but are worth the wait and mystery!!" stated Jackson

"But the real reason is I guess I was ashamed of him and scared to call him that after all, he put me through, all of this is because of a lie when in reality he was trying to protect me, and like I said-"

"It was a secret not worth revealing"

"So how much did you know?" asked Jackson

"I also know about your little- gift"

"Ugh, sounds more like a cursed, sickness that I got cured of course thanks to Leah to whom I am very indebted"

"Don't say that look at the bright side, you have power, the power to control your dream" Axell trying to convince him

"Mmm, what a power indeed but which I'm afraid will cause so much harm in the near future, just wait and see"

Ethan rushed to get out and join Dr. Mech who was talking with Mama Leah, he was sobbing.

"Mech what is going on? Why are they leaving?"

"It's alright body we weren't here for long enough either but at least I found you a beautiful family with whom I think you'd do much better than when you were with us which I see you are already doing!!" he barked

"You're not expecting me to stay here by myself, do you?"

"You're not by yourself Ethan since you got us". Stated Leah

"Yeah right, a bunch of strangers I met a few weeks ago" Ethan insisted

"Listen to my body, here is the exact place for you and not for me, I was here to help Leah with something and that's what we did, that is what the Digital is here for,

Here you have children the same age as you who will help you understand life better and who will be there on the worst and better day

But if you stay with us, a bunch of old guys who don't have anything interesting to do but sit in a lab all day trying to play gods you won't understand anything about life so you stay here and we are going and when you mature enough and you want to be a scientist too, we will be there to help you make this dream come true" Dr. Mech explained while he winks at him

"Okay but that still doesn't explain why can't he stay for a little bit more, he was the one who was here for me since-not you" Ethan turned to face Leah and said

"Okay Ethan, that's enough you know better than anyone that this is not a good idea, I'm trying to do what is best for everyone why am I always appearing as the villain?" stated Leah "If they stay here longer they will shut down this orphanage by thinking we allowed them to stay here to do dangerous things while there are children here, which I won't stand for"

"See, she is watching out for you- goodbye old friend, go live your life" Mech mumbled and then turned to face Leah "Thanks for giving him a place between your children for that only we own you"

"No problem at all from now on he is also my child"

He nodded and then started walking out of the building with the rest.

On his way out he sees Axell and Jackson so he glances at Axell with a smile on his face and whispers "Keep an eye on him will you?"

"I will and Dr. Mech- thank you for all of your help" replied Axell

Dr. Mech turned back to look at him and he nodded after that he went through the main gates, and tried to get in his car, right before he got in he turned to take a last look, and he saw Ethan running out of the building and coming straight to him.

"Ethan" screamed Jackson but Leah made him sign to let him pass.

Ethan was running so fast that Mech didn't even expect to make a collision so fast with him.

They plunged into a deep hug and water was coming out of both of their eyes.

"Okay buddy, I'm going to miss you too" he rambled then his facial expression changed real quickly "Nice acting skills back there" he added

So do Ethan's facial expressions" It's not working"

"Well, just give it some time and you'll see, If not we are going to try another way but keep trying to fit in" he started and Ethan nodded " I left a friend here with you, he'll report to me every 3 weeks, don't even ask, it's better if you don't know who" he continued

"Okay then"

"Now go back in there and be the best version of yourself, will you?"

"Will do!!" he confirmed right before he tried to head back inside

"Hey Ethan-"

Ethan turns around to hear what he has to say

"You forgot something"

"On the contrary" he stated and the tears that were once flowing down his face reappeared back.

"What can be touched but can't be seen?" asked Jackson

"A heart" replies Axell "Hey, see you later for the sword training" Mumbled Axell

"yes, as we planned," he said, and both went their separate ways

While Axell turned to make his way back to his dorm he hit and stumbled upon Helda who was right next to him, she was about to fall but Axell grabbed her flexibly in time and she did not have the time to hit the floor.

"Shit, sorry," apologized Axell "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I am now thanks to you"

"If I'm not wrong it was also because of me you almost banged the floor"

"hahaha, right but it wasn't your fault I was trying to get as close as I could get to you guys when I heard you throwing enigmas left and right"

He smiles "This is a way we talk, if we don't want the people right next to us to know what we are saying, but sounds like someone eager to know what we were saying after all"

"It's not what you think, I just never found someone who loves enigmas as much as me-"

"Till now, that's kinda our thing" exclaimed Axell

"Good to know"

"What's your name?"

"Helda! What's yours?"

"I am Axell, it's nice to meet you Helda"

"Likewise Axell"

"Catch you later"

"Okay!!"

As soon as Axell was about to head inside she stopped him to ask.

"Hey, sorry I know this is too straightforward but what are you doing later? I don't know maybe we can go somewhere and try to find the answer to some new enigmas I just received from one of my friends I made online, all the way to Asia, as a challenge, what do you think?"

"Well, right now I got to get in there and take a shower and in two hours I got sword practice with my friend Jackson but-"

"It's alright, you don't have to say yes if you don't have time" continues Helda

"You know what no, I have time but I'll accept your invitation only if you confirm it as a date" demanded Axell

She seemed surprised at first and then she smiled as she confirmed it to be a date "Okay, yes, it is an invitation to a date"

"Great, see you later then, at 9 PM"

"Sounds good!!"

He got in, took his towel off his bed, and then got into the bathroom, taking his clothes off, he opened the water and began having a great refreshing time.

When he was done he changed his clothes and went back to his part of the dorm, he lay on his bed for a second, eyes locked to the ceiling probably thinking about something when suddenly he woke up and called his friend's name.

"Leo" he screamed but no answers.

He tried that again but this time by holding his bed's head that was made with iron to help him slide up to see what was Leo up to.

But to his surprise, Leo was still asleep with the devices connected to his head, he was dreaming then he sighed and went right back to looking at the ceiling.

2 hours later, he was swinging swords with Jackson outside next to a big rock, and he was doing pretty well.

At first, he had two swords, and Jackson had one, while he was engaged in a duel with Jackson, he succeeded by stealing one from him now turns out Jackson was the one with two swords and Axell with one.

Despite everything he still did not give up, as a matter of fact, he was giving Jackson the change to his money.

They both bent and grabbed their towel on the top of some rocks.

"Dude you are way better than last time!! and it's scary to say the last time was yesterday"

"Thanks, there was a time that I would encounter the mighty Jackson with two swords, and I would have said nope but seeing what I could do, I'm impressed with myself" stated Axell out of breath

"As you should?" exclaimed Jackson while taking the wet shirt off him showing all of his well-traced body "Those skills of yours meet with whatever power you got, and you will be unstoppable"

"Man, I wish" whispered Axell

"What do you mean you wish?"

"After what happened with that young boy called Julian, when Frank put my consciousness into him and the Distorted ones came and killed him, almost got my skin in the process if it wasn't for Olivia, seeing that I couldn't even do anything to save him or even warn him which anyone in the 7's but me could have probably done, I realized that maybe I am useless and I don't have no power after all" stated Axell

"Man quit beating yourself up, he was destined to die nothing you or anyone could have done, knowing Frank he wouldn't just pick any random person just like that if he didn't sense something wrong with him" confirmed Jackson

"If that is to make me feel better know that I am feeling better but we escape the fact that it wasn't the only thing that made me see that, I got my ass whipped by Death-" Axell shouted

"She was toying with you guys, if she wanted you guys to die, you would have been gone by now, not resurrected the dead, not just a dead person but a crazy one against Death herself would have stopped her from getting what she wanted," Jackson said while standing up pick up his sword, he swings it a little and put it on his shoulder "My theory is, that was part of the training, she is the one in charge of Olivia's training like Frank was in for me and now for you and she was also using you guys to get to Russo Fenhgs"

"There, you just said it, like Frank was in to train you, and now me, that just proves my point why not someone else why Frank?"

"Frank is more powerful than you think, he is not just the commander of the dream's cops-"

"yeah, yeah I know he was the only one who succeeded by stabbing Phobia"

"Not only that, but he also went against some other pretty powerful people and Monsters in the league, especially that one guy named Salvador the one who dominated the league as we speak, never losing a fight, he came out alive it resulted in being a tie" Exclaimed Jackson

"What is that league anyway? It's not the first time I heard of it" asked Axell

He smirks "Buddy, the part of the dream when you find out that you can control it and have power is a league, there is always a fight to see who is the strongest, may the best live!! you are not there yet but you'll find out eventually what I'm talking about" Said Jackson

"I thought we were the first ones"

"No, you heard wrong you are not the only one who controls dreams, and certainly not the first one who was prophesized to play a part in saving the dream realm" exclaimed Jackson

"Who were the others before us?" asked Axell

"I wasn't supposed to tell you that but there was a group of 4 brothers who were beginning to develop abilities similar to these, one day they went against a village contaminated with black slimy monsters, and they did not come back out alive and the next day they found all five of them burned in their bed in the real world" Affirmed Jackson

"How can we know the same thing isn't going to happen to us and why do Your father and Mama Leah know so much about the dream realm and never tell us how?" asked Axell

"Not my father but her, she seemed to know more than we think, so this is a question to ask her but all I can say is that she's been studying about it for a long time she even wrote something about this but they turned her down and called her crazy, I heard her obsession about the dream realm has something to with one of her closest friend's parents,

Also, it won't happen to you since when they began having these abilities no one was there to train them, they mastered their abilities without help some theory was that it was stronger than them so it consumed them other was someone did that to them, now tell me what is the kind of powers you guys think you possessed?"

"Traveler- Healer, Witchcraft, Dream keeper, Creator, Gigantic beast, and also a Watcher- I know who is what except the Watcher I got my little idea of who that may be but I got to confirm it" mumbled Axell

"Like who is the Gigantic Beast and Dreamkeeper? And this is 6 kinds of power, my friend, there is one missing"

"I know Marty is the gigantic beast cause we fought, I was beating him in a hand-to-hand combat till he used his super strength and fucked me up and Ethan as a dream keeper I don't know what can he do and he doesn't say much either, there is something weird about him and lastly I as the last one is Dream Cop that is what I count myself to be" stated Axell

"He is weird for sure but come on, not again believe me or not I know a dream cop when I see one, and when I look at you I don't see it"

"Am I suck at this point" shouted Axell

He smirked " No, when I look at you, I see someone more powerful than this"

"Yeah right"

"What I'm trying to say is that there might be one kind of power out there who can counter all of this, like you just did with one of the mighty Dream cops with two swords"

"Weren't you supposed to be one of the most powerful cops out there, who is protecting us? we're all going to die" sighed Axell

They both busted out of laughter.

"Get up soldier, round two"

He got up and got at it again, they were fighting for a while till Axell was on the ground with a sword close to his eyeball and then he yielded.

"You see there you got the advantage even tho I was the one who appeared to be menacing" shouted Jackson

"I know"

"So why do you Yield?" asked Jackson

"What can you catch but not throw?" asked Axell

"Feelings" answered Jackson "Wait, hold on...don't tell you got struck by Cupidon?"

" I'm afraid so, I just remembered I got a date, I gotta go, I don't want to be late" confirmed Axell

"Oh who is the lucky girl, don't tell me it's Olivia?"

"On the other hand, I am the lucky guy, and nope it's not Olivia, I think she is not ready for that kind of thing yet" stated Axell

"It's a shame cause she likes you!!" affirmed Jackson

"I don't think so"

"How do you know?" asked Jackson

"I just know"

"Anyway, I think it's up to you to make the change" suggested Jackson

"I will when she is ready but right now I gotta move on, it's time for me to feel what love really looks like"

"Good luck King, let me know when you find that out"

"Thanks, brother, catch you later"

He ran to get to the buildings to take another shower and change as quickly as he could so he did not miss this.

A few moments later someone entered HEO234 and began asking for Axell.

Axell appeared on her back, he touched her slowly, and she jumped.

"Why are you jumpy all of a sudden? aren't you looking for me?"

"Caught"

"I just realized, I didn't ask you for your Phone or room number, I don't know how I was going to find you, I'm so dumb," said Axell

"Thank god I stayed long enough to see what room you would enter and no you're not, don't say that"

"Is your dorm in this section?" Rambled Axell

"How old do you think I am?" asked Helda

"I don't know, you tell me"

"I looked older than you think, I am 17 and a half, turning 18 in November"

"Wow, what a twist" shouted Axell

"The way you reacted confirmed that I am older than you, ain't it? I'm in room HEO267 just so you know" Exclaimed Helda

"Got it-16 but don't worry sweetheart, age ain't nothing but numbers"

She smiled when she heard Axell say that, that's when he knew Axell was really interested.

Axell looks at Leo, he is still asleep but by magic, his clothes changed.

Quick transition to Leo's dream, in his dream he was on the ground, and on top of him was the same black giant fish with glowing eyes in the middle of the forest trying to devour him with its big-sharp teeth.

Two rows behind Leo was Marty's bed, in his dream, he was wandering in the land of the giants, with two giants guarding him wherever he went, and the tiny woman's voice was still guiding him.

They came across the edge and what seemed to be the end of the village where Marty almost fell but the two guards Caught him quickly the voice in his head began laughing.

"Oh, you think that's funny?"

"YES IT IS"

"It's so not funny, I almost died"

"There's no such thing as almost dying, it's either you die or you're experiencing something that will serve you as a lesson, it will serve you for life"

"And what was that lesson exactly you were trying to teach me?" asked Marty

"There's a time to not be curious even tho you feel the need to be"

"Okay but what is down there?" rambled Marty

"Believe me you don't want to know but you can go take a look"

"Oh no, thank you I just asked not trying to see"

"See, lesson learned but believe me, you can go now we won't let nothing happen to you, you got my word"

"Promise?" sighed Marty

"Promise" responded the voice

He went to where the land was cut and what he saw down there was majestic, there was a lot but nothing at the same time but what caught his attention the most was the Big stairs made especially for giants bigger than the one he had seen.

On the other side, where they put all the girls was Jigxie also asleep.

She was out of the forest hidden behind a tree and in front of her was a carbine with the light on.

She walks slowly without making a noise to get behind the next tree right in front of her so she can get close to the carbine "Jigxie" Suddenly a voice spooks her from behind which almost makes her soul leave her body.

It was a woman covered with a green cloak which made it impossible to see who was talking to her.

"I was waiting for your visit, you are late which is bad news" Informed the voice

"Who are you? How do you know my name?" asked Jugxie out of curiosity

"Come with me" she simply replies while heading to the little carbine.

Next, he gallantly glances at Helda and then he asks for her hand, she gives it to him without wasting time.

He kisses it and adds "Let's get going, shall we?"

As soon as he got passed the doorway, Olivia's eyes caught them from the back holding hands on their way down while she was leaning on her dorm's door that says HEO235.

They went outside the building and entered somewhere as bright as a tree decorated for Christmas, with so many colors. It almost looks like a bar from afar but in reality, it is just a party spot made for the orphans so they don't have any need to go out looking for another one.

The person in charge or should I say, Leah thought about everything, she knows teenagers never listen, they would do as they wish so she created this place for when the madness got into them so they could go there not somewhere else, she created all they would need to feel at home, which went pretty successful.

"Helda what are you doing?" asked Axell "This is not a place for us, I can't drink I am 16 and you aren't 18 yet" rambled Axell

"Not today, today it is reserved for us, people around our age, they offered some boring drinks like surely Temple but don't worry I got it under control"

"With what exactly?"

"Like I always do, I got a fake ID just so you know, and enough questions please just trust me Axell"

They went directly to the bartender asking for drinks and after a couple of drinks, she left Axell sitting by himself and went into the middle of the crowded room and started dancing.

Axell found it intriguing because of the way she was moving so he began staring at her in a way that responded to all of the questions he was asking himself "What does love really feel like?" and the answer was right in front of him.

Helda turned to look at him while she was still moving her hips, she put a finger up and made him sign to come and dance with her.

He did not waste his time, he stood up, took off his jacket dropped it on the floor unbuttoned the first button of his white shirt, and approached her while he started moving his body as well.

A few hours later they left the club and got outside, direction of the main building, hands around each other, struggling and tumbling in the way.

"Where are the lakes always empty, the mountains always flat, and the rivers still?" asked Helda

"That's a map" he answered "Now my turn-A boat sinks and every single person drowns. Who survives?"

"The married people-if you speak its name you break it what is it?" Mumbled Helda

"Silence, what word began with E, ends with E but only has one letter?" Stated Axell

"An envelope, what is four half a five?" asked Helda

"In Roman numerals, the letter IV is half of the word FIVE- A man looks at a painting and says 'Brothers and sisters I have none, but the man's father is my father's son, who is In the painting?"
Continues Axell

"His son-what can run but never walk, have a mouth but never talks, has a head but never weeps, has a bed but never sleeps?"

"A river those are two easy we need to level up" confirmed Axell

"Agree but first there is something we got to do" added Helda

"What is it?"

"Do you trust me?" asked Helda

"I just-"

She interrupted him again to ask "Do you trust me?"

"I guess"

"Follow me," she said right before she ran away.

Axell takes his time but eventually, he finishes by following her.

He followed her to level 2 of the building, also known as Class X. This is where all the eldest were living including Leah.

"Helda, can you tell me where are we going? We aren't allowed here at night"

"Have you ever asked yourself why aren't we allowed to be here at night? is there something they are trying to hide, something they don't want us to see?- especially in there" She suddenly stopped and pointed her finger at something

Axell approached her trying to see what she was trying to show him and he immediately came across that Red door which put him back in his head by having a flashback about what Frank was showing him about the multicolor doors and he was pinned specifically to that last door he saw in that dream.

It was also red and Messiah prevented little Jackson from going through, for a reason.

"Ooh, I don't think this is a good idea, we need to head back" he whispered

"Axell, believe me, you need to see this- behind that door, you'd see things you've never seen before"

"This is a red door and red doors are bad news and for some reason today I kept hearing the opposite of what I was hoping to hear" he exclaimed

"Who says so?" asked Helda

"I said so" responded Axell

"Well, I disagree cause I say otherwise" continues Helda

"Have you been here before?" asks Axell

"I Have been sleepwalking through here for the past few weeks for a reason-"

"Sleepwalking? This is new" Axell interrupted her to ask

"Yes and one day I couldn't sleep so I let everyone fall asleep and I sneaked in there trying to see what it was about and with what I saw, I couldn't believe my eyes so now I asked you to trust me" she explained

"Fuck- okay- but you go first" stated Axell

She stretched her arm to him while saying " No, together" Axell glanced at her, grabbed it, and they went in there together.

Voices singing echoed throughout the hallway and these voices were singing "Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday Dear Olivia, happy birthday to you!!!"

A close look at the dorm HEO235, it was Olivia's roommate gathered around her and started singing for her while she was holding a pretzel with one candle attached to it.

After they were done singing she looked at the doorway to see if someone would come in but no one did, she closed her eyes and blew out the candle.

It was around 11:30 PM.
