Thuuummpppp!!!

The door of the mysterious building opens.

The unknown men, Sofia, and the injured President Malcolm found a hidden spot, far from the burning Ozone 1 Resort & Hotel.

"Why don't you take my dad to the nearest hospital if you're good guys?" Sofia asked.

In this secret place, Sofia, looking worried and curious, asked the mysterious helpers, "If you're really good people, why not take my dad to the hospital?" she added with teary eyes.

"No, Princess! If we do that, they'll kill President Malcolm," said the unknown man who saved them from Lieutenant Phoebe's danger at the resort.

"We have a doctor here," the man added.

"Taking him to the hospital would be dangerous. They want President Malcolm gone," the mysterious man continued, his hidden troops agreeing silently.

"Yeah! If we take him to the hospital, no one will help us. They want President Malcolm dead," the man beside Sofia joins the conversation, and his troops nodded in agreement.

Sofia watched as the makeshift medical team treated her father. Their quick actions showed how serious their situation was.

"The Ozone put a bomb in the hotel; they want to kill someone. The Ozone Empire made a bomb in the hotel to kill people, including your father" the man said with conviction.

"Oh My!" Sofia gasped, realizing the danger. The beautiful resort they just left had a dark secret, and the danger they escaped was worse than they thought. Sofia also realized that the tourist guide, Miss Laine, was actually Lieutenant Phoebe Stratus, a dangerous assassin.

"That tourist guide is fake!" Sofia exclaimed, realizing the truth. Miss Laine wasn't a guide but a dangerous assassin—Lieutenant Phoebe Stratus in disguise. Sofia was shocked as the pieces came together, revealing a dangerous plot that threatened her father and their world.

"The Ozone Empire will do anything to kill people who don't agree with them. Your dad, President Malcolm, is one of those people because he wants peace in space." the mysterious man said.

"You know me? You call me Princess?" Sofia said interestingly.

"Yes, Your Highness. I'm Sergeant Dante Basco. I'm leading this mission." the man said who claims his name. He is Dante Basco is a 40-year-old man who's part of the Allied Force. He's in charge of the whole Ozone Allied Force.

"We're part of the Allied Force. This is the base where the Ozone Country Allied Force plans." Sgt. Dante explains well and who is revealed as a member of Allied Force in Ozone Space Country and also stated they are inside their secret base.

"So you're the rebels, the resistance." Sofia in surprised.

"We prefer to be called peace advocates. We want to stop the Ozone Empire's control." Sgt. Dante replied.

The emergency room was buzzing with urgency as everyone felt the tension.

"Sir!!!" A loud cry broke through the chaos, making everyone stop and listen.

"He's getting worse!!!" The reality hit hard, making the medical team tense up. Time felt like it slowed down, and everyone's heart raced with the danger.

"Get Doctor Isabel!" The request was urgent, calling for the expert help they needed.

"Hurry, Doctor! Use the defibrillator!" The command was clear and fast, showing they needed to act now. The room was full of determination to save a life, with everyone focused on the task at hand.

"We're coming!" The reply was like a promise, showing they were ready to face the problem. The team moved quickly and together, like a well-practiced team, ready to fight against time.

In that moment, the emergency room became a battlefield where life was at stake. With urgent orders, loud medical tools, and a dedicated team, the scene was intense. Every second counted, and every action could change what happened next.

The female doctor rushed to the emergency room at headquarters to help President Malcolm, who was in trouble. Her name is Doctor Isabelle Harper. She's dedicated to helping the Allied Forces in Ozone Space Country.

In the busy emergency room, Dr. Harper quickly went to work. Time was running out as President Malcolm's condition worsened. With skill and experience, Dr. Harper took charge. Despite the chaos, she used the defibrillator to try to restart President Malcolm's failing heart. Each moment was critical as she fought to save the leader's life. Dr. Isabelle Harper became the lifeline between life and uncertainty.

Defibrillation is using electricity to restart a stopped or irregularly beating heart. A defibrillator delivers this shock to try to restore a normal heart rhythm. Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are portable versions found in public places. It's crucial to use them properly and seek medical assistance immediately.

"The doctor proceeds the "defibrillation" to President Malcolm.

"Oh my" said the female doctor named Dr. Isabel.

___________________________

After the intense moments of trying to save the president's life, there was a serious feeling in the room. The president of Earth's Federation called for Sofia, making the atmosphere even more tense. He wanted to talk to her alone, so everyone else left the room, leaving behind a feeling of seriousness.

Sofia, feeling nervous, went to her father's side quickly. "Sofia," he whispered, motioning for her to come closer.

"Father... you shouldn't move," she said, worried.

"Sofia, listen to me... come closer," he insisted. "I need to tell you something... It's important."

Confused, Sofia asked, "What is it, Father?"

"It's time to tell you the truth about who you really are," he said, dropping a bombshell that shocked Sofia to her core. "I'm not your real father..."

"What?" Sofia gasped, feeling like her whole world was falling apart.

"Your real name is Sofia Abrielle Goodwill Artifice," he continued, revealing a lineage that seemed unbelievable.

"You're known as Sofia Abrielle Goodwill Artifice from the Goodwill Artifice family in Saint Paul City in Planet Earth—a family and place known for peace and making things right." His words sank in, leaving Sofia speechless.

"You're the last heir of the Goodwill Artifice Peace Foundation, which works for peace in Earth Federations and Space Countries," he explained.

__________________________

As Sofia tried to understand this shocking truth, her father went on, telling her a sad story about what happened to her family. 

"Your family, the Goodwill Artifice family, worked hard for peace in space. They did projects, treaties, and fundraisers to make peace. But the Ozone Empire killed them all to stop their work. The legacy of your family, the Goodwill Artifice Family of Saint Paul City on Earth..." her father said and started gasping, losing breath.

Sofia couldn't believe what she was hearing, and then her father said something even more unbelievable.

"Before I escaped, your real father gave me a baby, and that baby was you! Sofia, it's time for you to keep your family's legacy of peace going."

The dying President Malcolm explains well and Sofia felt like her heart broke into pieces as she realized what this meant.

"That can't be true! It's not possible!!!" she cried, but her father, feeling sad, said firmly,

"Sofia, it's time..." President Malcolm said and bid farewell to the living world.

__________________________

As Sofia learned the truth, her sadness got stronger.

"Goodbye, my child, the only one I treated as a daughter..." President Malcolm's last words filled the room.

"Nooooooo!!!" Sofia cried out, begging her father not to leave her. But even as she felt so much pain, President Malcolm did what he had to do—to give Sofia her family's legacy.

In that sad moment, as her father took his last breath, Sofia promised to keep working for space peace. She felt the weight of her family's history and her new job.

"Don't leave me, Father! Please stay alive..." Sofia begged through her tears. She felt so desperate and sad, crying beside her father.

And then President Malcolm died with Sofia beside him. Sofia felt so much pain as she watched him go, knowing her world would never be the same.

He did what he had to do, and now Sofia knew what she had to do.

"Fatheeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrr!!!" Sofia screamed, her voice echoing in the rebel base. Her voice was full of sadness and determination, filling the quiet halls with the weight of her new destiny.

In that sad moment, the rebel base saw something important happen. Sofia's cry showed that she was taking over her family's legacy. It wasn't just the end of one part of her life; it was the start of a hard journey she had to do by herself.

The new Sofia. Sofia Abrielle Goodwill Artifice

"SGT. Dante! President Malcom's pulse ended!"

"He just died!"

"Oh my!"

"Tsk... we didn't even protected him..."

"Our foes, the Ozone Empire is too smart. They killed him,"

"What will happen now on his Space Exodus Project?"

"How about the Earth Federations?"

"Well, how about the Earth Force? Will there be a war against Ozone Empire?

"How about Sofia, her majesty, will she the next Earth Federations President?"

"So it means she is at stake?"

"May Lord Jesus guides the soul of the President and guide princess Sofia"

The Allied Forces gathered and said while in the base seeing how President Malcolm died before their eyes. The words from this people are intriguing too, considering the fate of Earth Federations and the Solar System was now in the hands of Sofia.

The Nurses of Allied Forces of Ozone Base asks many questions. But no body knows what will Sofia's destiny will be.

"So far we need to inform the Earth Federations about this" Sgt. Dante said and dialed a phone.
