"Take care of yourself." Joe tightly hugged his sister's body before actually releasing the man to go to his place of duty.
"I promise to be careful" Derek replied.
They broke their arms and looked at each other. "Don't forget to eat regularly, rest too, and don't forget to always call me."
"Okay." Derek smiled knot.
"You're really a good brother" Nils said. The two switched focus on the man who had just arrived with his luggage.
The Norwegian man looked ready to do his job. Leave the island and go to his place of duty.
"He's my brother, and I should've protected him. I don't want to lose another person I love" Joe replied.
"I'm really envious. If only I had a brother like you."
"You have to take care of my sister on the trip, okay?"
"Yes. Take it easy, he'll always be safe in my custody."
"If anything happens, call me."
"Ready."
"I hope your trip back to Norway goes well too."
"Yes, thank you."
"Okay, looks like we have to go now." Derek lifted his things.
"Alright, be careful on the road."
"Hm." Derek nodded. He then left Joe who is now standing in the harbor.
Nils walks with Derek, helping the man carry his belongings up to the ship.
"See you later, Joe!" Derek waved at the man who was his older brother.
Joe could only wave his hand speechlessly. Both of his eyes began to water, he tried to hold back his tears seeing the departure of his sister who will now part with him.
After all the evolvers boarded, the ship slowly moved from its place. Drove out of the port and leave a few evolver guards who just finished helping the evolver who want to be sent to their respective countries.
Joe was silent alone.
All the guard evolvers have left the port. Leave himself alone there.
I didn't expect you to grow up so fast, and even now, you're leaving me…
While me…
Joe turned his head towards the large laboratory building which was visible from the direction where he was standing.
As for me, I don't know when I'll be stuck in this place…
Without you…
...*...
Laboratory, at the moment.
2020
Joe wipes away the tears that drenched his cheeks as memories of his past with Derek come back to life.
I'll set you free.
I'm gonna stop them from doing this to you.
I, I'll protect you.
Joe clenched both his hands tightly. He immediately got up from his position, approaching the tube containing Derek's body that floated in the evolgesysv-03 serum without a thread covering his body.
Joe placed both of his palms on the glass surface of the tube.
He closed both his eyes. Concentrate all his energy in order to destroy the tube with his ability.
A dazzling light began to slowly appear from his palm.
Electric energy began to manifest its form in the form of sparks that were getting bigger and bigger.
The light is getting brighter.
Joe expends all his energy to the end…
Prangs!
The super thick glass tube he managed to break with his ability. With a high-voltage electric shock, he managed to break it.
The ruptured tube makes serum evolgesysv-03 scatter out.
Derek's defenseless body instantly falls, but Joe catches it as quickly as possible.
Bruk!
His body he caught.
