After wears his full school's uniform, Johnny comes down to the kitchen to eat his breakfast that Harry makes while their mom is still bathing. "Don't you have school today, Harry?" Johnny says. "Well, that, is the greatest News of this Week, Johnny. I have a holiday for three days because so many teachers in my class had a "board" meeting." Harry says. "I envy you, Harry." Johnny says. "It's seriously not good to keep envy people John. Just be grateful with what you have." Harry says. "Hmm, okay. Remember your promise to bring me to the Atlas world once I've arrives home from school." Johnny says. "I will Johnny." Harry says. "Here, have some bread and scrambled eggs." Harry says while serving Johnny the breakfast. "No sausages?" Johnny says. "Sadly, Johnny, Jess has finished it all." Harry says. After awhile, their mom then come down and enjoy some meal before sending Johnny to his school.

After 13 minutes of driving, Johnny finally arrives to his school. "Goodbye mom. Here's a kiss." Johnny says to his mom. "Goodbye Johnny, take care of yourself and your behavior at school okay?" his mom said to him. "Okay mom." Johnny says. Johnny then walks in to his classroom and meet his name Simon. "Hey Joe, so, what's today's plan?" Simon says. "Welp, I guess there might be no plan for today since my brother promised me to take me somewhere." Johnny replies. "Oh, where are you going?" Simon says. "I, uh, I don't actually, uh, know." Johnny says nervously. "Well, then let's proceed to tomorrow's plan. What do we want to do tomorrow?" Simon asks. "Well, we've goes to Old Man's Arcade's many times. We've hangout at Leamearvo's Delightful many times too, so I think we should hangout at the park." Johnny suggests. "What? There's nothing we can do at the plain park, Johnny." Simon says ungratefully. "Relax Si, believe me, I know what we should do." Johnny encourages Simon to follow what he has planned.

When the clock has ringing, shows that recess time has arrives, Johnny quickly runs through the door, but was hold back by his teacher that are in the classroom. "Oh, come on Mr. Criss." Johnny says. "Sure Mr. Enderson, but first show me your work." Mr. Criss says. "Well, uh, don't worry, I'm going to finish my work after the recess time." Johnny says. "The same thing happens to your last work that I gave you two days ago. That means, finish your work. NOW." Mr. Criss says. Suddenly, Mr. Criss got a call from the principal. "You, you, Johnny, are pretty lucky this time." Mr. Criss says as he walks out of the class to go to the principal office. "Welp, I've had to." Simon says. "Simon, you did that? You great tech guy." Johnny says praising Simon. "If you have a nickname that people will call you, just like a MMA fighter Johnny, what name would you like to be called?" Simon says. "Hmm, maybe I like the name, Brave Commander. Because why not?" Johnny says. "Great point." Simon says supporting Johnny's decision. "Wait? You didn't know that Simon?" Johnny says. "Know what? Wait, is there any homework for today!?" Simon says while panic. "No, not homework." Johnny says. "*sigh* Thankfully. Then what are you trying to say Joe?" Simon says gratefully. "People did call me Brave Commander. Don't you know that?" Johnny says. "Oops, I didn't know that." Simon says awkwardly. "Dude, you're my best friend." Johnny says. "Sorry, sorry, I seriously missed that."

After the recess time is over, both of them continues their classes just like usual. When the time to go home has arrives, Johnny quickly runs to the gate. The feeling of excitement, fills Johnny's mind as he is about to visits a brand new world. But suddenly, Simon calls his name from behind. "Joe, Joe!" Simon shouts as Johnny near left to go back home. "Yo, dude. What's up? I thought your going home using the other way?" Johnny says. "Well, yeah, I am, but I just want to give my Captain Xander watch to you." Simon says. "What, this is yours, I couldn't accept it." Johnny denies. "It's okay Joe, you're my bro. My best bro ever in one life. Please have it." Simon says. "O-okay?" Johnny says uncomfortable by Simon's action. "Dude, are you okay?" Johnny asks him. "Yeah, I'm good." Simon says. "Um, a bro hug? For one last time." Simon asks. "Yeah, sure dude." Johnny says. Both of them then have their hug. Suddenly, after they both stop hugging each other Simon started crying. "Dude, you okay?" Johnny says. "Yeah, it's okay, I'm okay. See you again Joe, see you again if I could." Simon says. After 16 minutes later, when Johnny has arrives to his house, he quickly rushes to Harry. "Harry, Harry, Harry. Come on. It's time. I want to go to that world." Johnny says. Harry, that is about to eat his beef sandwich then said "Let me eat first." "Oh, come on Harry. You've promised me once I get home you will bring me to that world." Johnny says. "Uh, fine. But you don't want to change your clothes first?" Harry asks. "What? This jacket is gold, I'm good." Johnny says. Johnny then comes upstairs to Harry's room while Harry keeps his sandwich in a fridge for awhile. "I promise I'll eat you later, my sweet beef sandwich." Harry says to the beef sandwich that he makes for he and himself alone. "Are you coming or not, Harry?" Johnny shouts from upstairs. "I don't, but I've made a promise, what can I do." Harry says regrettably. "Don't say like that Harry, you know how long I've waited for this." Johnny says. "Two weeks. Uh fine. I'll get up there, wait for me." Harry says. "Can you guys please stop shouting!" Jessica shouts angrily. "Alright, alright. Don't get mad too easily, Jess. You might look more older than Harry." Johnny says while mocking Jessica. "Stop shouting then. Anyway, what is the thing that you guys been shouting." Jessica says. "Oh, looks like someone get curious like me too Harry." Johnny says. "You attract Jess into this and I'll eat all your nuggets, John." Harry says while he's taking the stairs. "We're going to the world of Atlas, Jessica." Johnny says excitedly. After that, Harry and Johnny walks into Harry's room. Harry then uses the power of the Atlas book to open the portal. "Harry, I have a question." Johnny says. "What." Harry says. "What if I want to go back? Could I just summon the portal?" Johnny says. "That's the neat part. You won't come back." Harry says. "What?!" Johnny says scarily. "I'm just kidding, you could just summon the portal if you want to go back home." Harry says. "Now then." Johnny says, as the portal to go to the world of Atlas has opened. "Remember Johnny, be careful, you don't know what you might face." Harry says, warns Johnny as he only sees the good side of that world. "Roger that! Wait, you're not coming?" Johnny asks. "My sandwich won't be eaten by anyone except me, so I won't." Harry says. "Alright, see you again, Harry." Johnny says.

Chapter 2 : Madness Everywhere

After Johnny arrives to the other universe, Johnny look around the place while, he's surprises to see the place looks like it's and original world. Johnny then walks around the city of Maldovia, Homeland. The scene then changes to a guy sitting in a table in a dark room talking to his phone. "Are we ready yet?" that guy says. "In a little bit we should be cool." the other guy on the phone says. "We don't have much time, remember that." the guy on the table says again. He then opens a curtain and shows that he actually is near the place where Johnny's walking around. "Alright, we're good now. Come down, fast!" the guy on the phone says again. "I'm going.' says the man while running to come downstairs. Johnny, in the other hand, stops to get a hotdog but he realizes something are a little odd. He saw group of people behind their car and took out gun-like things and mask. Johnny then warns the hotdog stand guy to run away. The hotdog stand guy's confuses by Johnny action, but he runs away anyway. Johnny then warns the people walking around. "RUN, RUN, THERE'S AN ATTACK!" Johnny says loudly as he can. The people there is confuses, but they did nothing and keep walking as usual. All until they here a screams of a little girl. Everybody there then turn around to the direction where that little girl screams. They all surprises to see what Johnny says is true. Everyone there then runs away while the girl that screams early was abduct by the terrorist.

While everybody runs away, the terrorist were just focusing on two things. Abduct the little girl and shooting at random point. Johnny wants to save the girl that looks like his age, but he in need of a defensive item. So he uses a table and throw at them. The table only did some damage to them. They then shoots Johnny to die. Fortunately, it was just Johnny's imagination. Johnny then take a boomerang from a shop and throw it to the terrorist. He did enough damage to the group, but the car that they've put the girl in, has already drives away. Johnny didn't know what to do, but really want to save the innocence. "What am I gonna do, what am I gonna do?" Johnny says to himself loudly as he panicked. Johnny then takes a skateboard from a store. "Alright, I've trained for a while for this. Don't let me down, my Captain Xander spirit." says Johnny to the other part of himself that love his superhero idol, Captain Xander.

While Johnny has gone away with the board that he took from the store, the guy that were on the dark room earlier has arrives to the downtown while eating cereal in a bowl. "Sklark!" says one of the terrorist with surprisingly. "Don't you Sklark, me. Where's the kid that you say "disturbing our mission" huh." Sklark says to his henchmen. "He's there, wait? Where is he?" the henchmen says. Sklark then hits henchmen and says "Do your job correctly, damn it. I pay you for this." Sklark then looks around the city that some part of it has been destroyed. "Ahh, such exquisite." Sklark says. "Police!" says one of the terrorist. "Police don't move." says one of the policeman. The terrorist group the hold the police in their gunpoint, but Sklark pulls his hands up, signing them to not shooting. "Manhattan, keep my cereal for awhile. Don't. Eat. It. I mean it." Sklark says to one of his henchman. "Understand, sir." his henchman named Manhattan says. "Real man fights their fist, doesn't they?" Sklark says. Sklark then fights every of the cops there with his bare hand. One of the cops tries to shoot him, but one of his henchmen shoots the police first. "Thank you, Manhattan." says Sklark.

The scene then changes back to Johnny, but when Johnny arrives the time has already turn into nighttime. Johnny successfully sneaks into the abandoned place that they uses as their base. Johnny then hears them speaks to something, like a recording. "Are they making videos?" Johnny says to himself. Johnny then sees them, talking to a camera. "So, Mr. President, if you want this little girl to be safe. We don't even care, how much policemen you will send, how much soldiers, you will send. We want you to send the money. 3.4 Billion Breach." says the terrorist that talks to the camera. "Looks like someone's blackmailing." Johnny says. Johnny then rushes to hide because he could sense that the terrorist are going towards him since he hid near the door out. But luckily they didn't even check on Johnny and just get outs. Johnny then goes to the girl who he wants to save. "Hey? You okay?" Johnny says quietly. The girl is still fainting, but Johnny cut the ropes that tied the girl and tries to bring her out.

Chapter 3 : Rescue Mission

Not long after, Johnny bring the girl near the door out. Johnny hears a footstep, so he left the girl to the wall near the door. When a terrorist has enter the room, he's surprise to see the girl has vanish. Didn't want to delay any longer, Johnny quickly grab a wooden spoon that he found and hit the back of the terrorist's head. The terrorist then turn around and hold Johnny at gunpoint. Fortunately, he pass out not long after. Johnny uses the terrorist's M14 rifle and bring the girl to the exit. When Johnny has already get out from the abandoned place, he realizes that he forgot the skateboard. "Ahh, I cannot lose that board." Johnny says to himself. Johnny then come back inside and grab the skateboard. Johnny then found a "cool" military backpack and take it. Johnny then bring the girl away. When Johnny thought his plan goes smoothly, some terrorist chases him and also shoots him. Didn't want to die yet, Johnny also shoots back while running away with the girl.

Johnny then runs towards an abandoned house he found after he successfully ran away from the terrorist. After he get inside the abandoned house, he rest the girl to the side of the wall. Johnny then lay down and think about what he has faced today. "Quite an adventure, isn't it miss?" Johnny says before accidentally falling asleep. A day after, Johnny finally awake from his sleep but when he get up, he surprises to see the girl that he protected last night has awake and event waking him up by holding him at gun point using the M14 rifle that Johnny took from a terrorist last night. "I don't remember falling asleep." Johnny says to himself loudly. "Who are you? Why do you brought me here?" that little girl said. "Alright, listen kid or miss? I don't know what to call you." Johnny says "Salsa, Salsa Scorpious." that girl interrupts. "My name is Johnny, okay, Johnny Enderson. Alright Salsa, I'm the one who saves you from the terrorist. That day you were kidnapped, I saw them abduct you, so I follow you using the skateboard, where, where are the skateboard." Johnny says while finding his skateboard. "You mean this?" Salsa says while showing Johnny his skateboard. "Ah, yes, this one. I follow them using this skateboard then I get in and try to help you. Wait, I remember they record a video with you, blackmail to kill you if the government didn't give them 3.4 Billion Breach." Johnny explains everything to Salsa. "They what?" Salsa says while being surprise. "Yeah, that's what they did." Johnny says. "So? What do you want to do now?" Salsa asks. "Well, obviously we're going to back to the city. Meet our friends and family back." Johnny says. "Do you know where?" Salsa asks again. "Surely I know where it is, isn't is me who come here all the way to save you." Johnny says.

In about an hour, Johnny and Salsa starts making their preparation to go back to the city. When they've gone far from the abandoned house, they see many cars heading to the place where they abduct Salsa back then. "Who are they? Do you think they have are related to the terrorist?" Salsa asks. "I believe so." Johnny replies. "Wait, wait, wait. Oh, I just remember it now." Johnny says as he remember something so important. "W-what is it?" Salsa says. "I could open a portal to go back home." Johnny says. "What!?" Salsa says, accidentally shouts her words. "What? You don't believe me?" Johnny says. "Obviously, there's no such thing as that in this world." Salsa says. "What? Of course there is. Let me show you." Johnny says while try to summon the portal. "Where? Where's the portal?" Salsa says while Johnny struggles to summon the portal. "Uh, I don't know. My brother, Harry said I could do that." Johnny says. "What? Does your brother teach you to become an idiot?" Salsa says madly. "What? No? My brother is the one that create this world but-" Johnny says while remember a new thing to do to get out of there. "Create this world? You're getting more insane. That's it, I'm gonna get going first. "HARRY! HARRY! GET US OUT HARRY! HELP!!" Johnny shouts, asking help from Harry. "Hey, hey, quiet Johnny. Do you want them to hear us." Salsa says. "But I need to get back home." Johnny says. "Then walk. Not screams." Salsa says.

Suddenly, the land beneath Johnny glowing blue light. And so, a portal has been summoned. "Finally, there's the portal. Come on, Salsa. Let's go." Johnny says inviting Salsa, who couldn't believe what Johnny says is true. "O-okay." Salsa says awkwardly as she has been proven wrong. After some moment, Johnny has finally back to Harry's room along with Salsa. "Harry, why I couldn't summon the portal?" Johnny says. "Firstly, I believe you need a training to summon the portal. Secondly, luckily you screams, yes I could here you. Thirdly, who is this girl and what's wrong with the M14?" Harry says. "Been a long story. Long story short, the city got attack by terrorist and this girl-" Johnny says but got interrupts. "Salsa, my name is Salsa." Salsa interrupts. "Alright, Salsa, she got kidnapped, so I use this skateboard I "borrow" from a store and help her get out. And obviously, I involve in some bullets war." Johnny says. "You know how to use a gun?" Harry asks Johnny. "Obviously, been learning from video game." Johnny says. "Alright, so you want to stand for justice or peace?" Harry asks. "What?" Johnny asks. "Just answer." Harry says. "Both." Johnny says. "Alright. What about you Salsa? What do you chose?" Harry says. "Both?" Salsa says confusingly. "Then I'll teach you how to use weapons and I'll get a defensive armor for you guys.

Chapter 4 : From Regular To Commander

A day after, with Salsa secretly sleeps at their house. They come back to the Atlas universe, to train themselves become more stronger than ever. "John, what weapon do you want? What weapon do you think will suit you?" Harry asks. "Vector, please." Johnny says. "Alright." Harry says while using the power of the Atlas book to summon a vector for Johnny. "So, Salsa, I do not force you neither told you to join. But do you want to?" Harry asks. "Originally, I just want to go back home. But, I think I want to join this journey." Salsa says. "What weapon would you think would suit you, Salsa?" Harry asks. "I think rope is enough." Salsa says.

Harry then teleports all of them to a field out of nowhere. "So how do we train?" Johnny asks. "Take whatever material you can found, and use it as training item. I'm out." Harry says before disappearing back to the real world. "Say what?" Johnny says. "What do we want to do now?" Salsa says. "Training I guess?" Johnny says. Johnny then uses fallen branch as target practice while Salsa uses them as catch-practice for her rope. Day and night, they keep practicing, all because of bored and justice. The next day, Johnny gone tired of just practicing to shoots. To make matter more fun, he tells Salsa to catch some small branch using her rope and throw it to him so that he could shoot and add more difficulty. Luckily, Johnny's plan works and really makes a good time for them. Johnny then trains to summon the portal by himself. Training after training, Johnny has gone tired and give up from the training as he didn't make any progress. Using the river as a water source and a campfire to boil the water, Salsa gives Johnny the boiled water to let him rest his mind.

While all this happens, in the other side of the world, there's Sklark in his "meeting" room with several people related to his hi-tech weapon dealing business. "So Mr. Fred, how much of this 6mm bullet type rifle, would you like to buy?" Sklark says to one of his buyers. "How much is one box of the rifle?" says the buyer to the man he is dealing business's with. "A box equal 153k Breach." Sklark says to his buyers. Suddenly, Manhattan, Sklark's favourite and loyal henchmen, comes to the room while bringing Sklark his bowl of cereal and a glass of orange juice. "Much thanks to you my Manhattan." Sklark says, thanking his loyal henchmen. "Why don't you buy our other products to? My victorious client." said Travis Colorado, one of the two founder of the Doom Manufacturing, one of them being Sklark. "Oh, my one and only friend is right. We got many new products on-sale. we got bombs, rocket launcher and some more new silencer. And uh, if you want to invest to us, that's a good thing. Because we're planning to create our own nuclear though it sounds crazy but it's not impossible right?" Sklark says promoting his products and new projects. "If that's so, how much you think you'll give us back?" one of their client says. "How much you guys will pay me, I'll give back about 15% by the full price 17.5 Billion Breach." Sklark says, attracting his clients. Fortunately for Sklark, his client loves his trade and wants to invest to him 15 million breach each.

The scene then changes with Johnny that still train himself to summon a portal. "Why. Is. This. So. Hard." Johnny says while tries to summon the portal so hard. "It's nighttime now, still training huh Johnny." Salsa says envying Johnny's spirit. "Why sound like that?" Johnny asks as he feels something odd about Salsa. "I just can't believe you've been descend with such great fate. I thought you're just a dork." Salsa says. "Oh yeah, how do you have that power? What is that book that your brother use?" Salsa says. "Well, that book's power has been supporting this world for a long time. And that book has been given to my brother by his master. Better not tell it for too long. You might couldn't sleep to keep thinking about it." Johnny says. "I wish I could go back to the city and settle things." Johnny says. Suddenly, a portal that leads the way to the city has been summoned. "Johnny, is that you?" Salsa asks. "I believe so. Wait, I know where I did gone wrong. I have no destination. I never thought of any place to travel. That's why." Johnny says. "As simple as that. But, I proud that the seed did gave birth to a tree." Salsa says. "Thanks. Salsa." Johnny thank her for always by his side. Suddenly, both of them become shy to each other, as something has spark between them. "Well, what are we waiting for? The portal won't wait for us forever." Salsa says. "You're right. Let's go." Johnny says. Once they've arrives to the city, they were surprised to see that the city is left alone. Papers flying everywhere, quiet without any birds chirping. "What are we gonna do now?" Salsa whispers to Johnny as she doesn't know the move. "We'll explore around and find any person we can help or find any clue we could." Johnny says. "Alright." Salsa says.

Chapter 5 : Ruled By The Evil

As both of them wandering around the "ghost" town, they hear many cars heading to the city. They then hides as they suspect the cars are all from the terrorist. When the cars has stopped, a man in a uniform that can't be described and also wears a helmet without a glass. "That guy in a helmet looks different than the others, he must be the leader." Salsa says. "I thought so." Johnny says. "Why are we here again, my dude?" Travis says to Sklark. "Our buyer wants to meet us here. What can we do." Sklark says. "What if it's a trap?" Travis says. "It's okay, our people's here. Well, except Manhattan, he has some family things. I can't believe he is going to be father, seriously proud of that dude." Sklark says. "Focus on our business now fam." Travis says. "Fine, fine." Sklark says. "When the start trading, will ambush, alright?" Johnny says. "Alright." Salsa says.

After about 10 minutes later, when the buyer has finally arrives, Sklark and the buyer has starts their deal, at the same time Salsa uses her rope and throw it to the briefcase of the weapon. When the terrorist is about to shoot, Johnny has shoots them down before they could do anything. After the moment, Travis then disarm Johnny and fights using each others fist, while Sklark tries to shoots Salsa, but got disarm by Salsa using her rope. "Looks like my rope training isn't a waste." Salsa says. "What did you say to me?" Sklark says. "I didn't say that to you damn it." Salsa says back. Sklark then uses a baton to fight Salsa. While Johnny focusing on his fight with Travis, Sklark has already abduct Salsa yet again. "Trav, settle this girl. I'll take the boy." Sklark says. "So, you are the kid that stole my assets from me huh. Brave enough." Sklark says. "That's my name sucker. I'm Brave Commander." Johnny says. "Quite a rhyme." Sklark says. They then have a fist fight of their own.

Sklark overpowers Johnny and knocked him out. "I don't need you kid, I just want you out of my way." Sklark says to the knocked-out Johnny. Sometime after, Johnny awaken from his unconsciousness. He surprises to see everyone has left him and even the daytime has risen. Johnny then comes back to his house once again for a perfect preparation for the second rescue mission. "Harry, Harry, I need your help!" Johnny asks Harry for his help right after he come back from the other universe. "John, what happened?" Harry asks. "Salsa, she, she, she got kidnapped." Johnny says. "What? By who?" Harry asks again. "By the terrorist leader I believe." Johnny says. "His, his name is Sklark." Johnny adds. "Have you train Johnny?" Harry asks. "Well, yes. Don't you see I summon that portal?" Johnny says. "Well, oh yeah, I didn't realize that." Harry says. "Anyway, what help do you need?" Harry asks how could he help. "I need the legendary member of the 4 masters obviously. I need you Harry." Johnny says. "I've done fighting, John. I've quite a trauma after Salk's death." Harry says. "But I think I can help you locate them." Harry adds. "I think that is enough." Johnny says. "Oh yeah, Johnny, I've modified those who the same gene as me. Like, you, Jess. Those who have the same gene as me will grow much faster in the Atlas world, but will look just normal in the normal world." Harry says. "That means my I'll grow much faster?" Johnny asks. "Yes!" Harry says. "Oh yeah, John. I want you to- no I need you to know, whatever happens, never, never, never believes anyone." Harry adds as he know something bad might happened from his experience. "Also, gear up. I'm sure you need a full superhero suit." Harry adds. Johnny then take his military bag down and take the skateboard out and paint it as he like. Johnny reloads his vector and paint it too. He then grabs a military-paint face mask, a green toggle, a pair of black gloves, a pair of sheriff boots, and a watch with Captain Xander's face as a background. Johnny then grabs a black shirt and writes "Brave" and "Commander" to the shoulder side of the shirt, he also writes the word "Brave" to his mask. "Ready, Johnny?" Harry asks him as he is about to go to his own war. "Yes, I am." Johnny speaks so confidently. "I've locate them. They're at Mold town's abandoned factory, at Local Stus." Harry says. "Alright, I'm going now." Johnny says. "You've grown John. Just don't die." Harry says his last word to his brother. "Brave Commander never die!" Johnny says bravely.

The abandoned city of Maldovia, the capital of the country Homeland were filled with terrorist under Sklark and Travis. After Johnny arrives, he put on his toggle and shoots the terrorist in order to free his friend and let peace again to the land. Battle after battle, Johnny has to face many terrorist at once, forcing him to hide for a while. While Johnny sigh of relief that he's still alive, he were surprise by a something that has fallen down. "Who are you? Just come out and I won't shoot?" Johnny says as he knew someone was hiding. "Get out now!" Johnny shouts to him. The man then slowly gets up and walk towards Johnny with hands up. "Who are you?" Johnny says as he sees a 15-years-old like guy. "Ah, glad you asks my name is Danny Bonasera." That guy said. "What about you?" That guy asks. "Jo-Johnny, my name is Johnny Enderson. "What are you doing here?" Johnny says to Danny. "Well, there's a chaos outside, and my house is up here. This is my shop by the way." Danny says. "What are you, doing here Joe?" Danny asks. "Only one guy ever call me Joe before. Anyway, I'm hiding from the terrorist." Johnny says as the terrorist has already hit the door for their way in. "Oh, no." Danny says. "Once I've finish this I'll help you Dan. But now, war has begun." Johnny says.

Johnny then opens the door and shoots right away. When all the enemies has already in one place, it obviously going to make Johnny's progress so easy. Johnny then throw a smoke grenade and shoots them without any hesitation. Danny then comes out from his shop slowly, approaches Johnny and says "Is, is, is that it?" "I guess so." Johnny says while turning behind. "So Danny, I'm actually on a mission to rescue my friend, Salsa, would you like to come." Johnny says. "Why would you invite someone like me." Danny says. "Well, you seems like a great guy, anyway where are your parents." Johnny says and asks him. "Oh, well, my parents already died since I was 9. Then, my uncle adopt me and let me live here. But he was at the bunker." Danny says. "So, do you want to join?" Johnny invites him. "Well, I want to, but I'm scared." Danny says. "Well, it's okay. Goodbye Danny, may we meet again." Johnny says. Johnny then walks away while Danny's still thinking if he should come with him. Danny then runs towards Johnny. "Jo-Joe, I-I'll follow you." Danny says as he wants to follow his one and only friend. "Al-Alright, then. Let's go." Johnny says. "Let's sail." Danny says.

Chapter 6 : New Friend Along The Way

After 30 minutes, Johnny and Danny finally arrives to the abandoned factory that they try to find. Surprisingly, the "abandoned" factory that Harry told has turn into something even greater. Looks like a headquarters. Johnny and Danny then hides behind a rock near the place Salsa was abduct. "Is this the place?" Danny asks. "Yeah, this is it." Johnny says. "How do you know?" Danny asks again. "My brother told so." Johnny says. "How do your brother know?" Danny asks more. "Um, well, I don't know about that." Johnny says "But, I believe this is it. Because there are those terrorist everywhere." Johnny adds. "I believe you then. So what's the plan." Danny says. "Alright, firstly, I'll let they caught me." Johnny says. "What?!" Danny says, surprises by Johnny's word. "Pretty much, it's impossible to get in, so I'll just surrender. I believe Sklark likely will put me in the same cage as Salsa." Johnny explains his crazy plan to Danny. "So, what I'm gonna do. I don't want to do nothing and just pray for your safety." Danny says, as he wants Johnny to be fully safe. "Great point, I'm going back home for a while. Don't leave here, okay?" Johnny says. "Um, okay, but how will you get home?" Danny says, but his questions left unanswered because Johnny has already summoned the portal and goes back to his home, once again.

"Oh, that's how." Danny says as he surprise by Johnny's portal summoning power. "AHH. John, how could you be here, and what's with that outfit?" Jessica asks Johnny. "Jess? What are you doing in Harry's home, and why are you holding Atlas book." Johnny asks Jessica back while holding Jessica at gunpoint. "Hey, Hey, put the gun away John!" Jessica says scarily. "What are you guys doing, in, my, room?!" Harry says to then angrily. "Jess, what are you doing with my book. Johnny what are you doing here. I thought you are on a mission?" Harry says more.

But before that, take away his Vector please. Alright, Johnny, once before, when I was a kid, I was pretty a lazy kid. Too lazy, that I sleeps on my classroom when my other mates were playing soccer on the field. But that's not the case Johnny, the case is, I, I didn't make any friend, okay, I did not make any friend. But, there's only one, who wants to befriend me, and that's my business partner, Travis Colorado. My past, in my eyes, are really bad, Johnny. And I believe you make so many friends."

Johnny says, surprises that Sklark has already notices Danny. "Yes, I've knew it, Johnny Enderson. Don't worry, I didn't tell my henchmen to bother him. Indeed, he is just a sad orphan."

There was a poison inside of that syringe, but guess where it goes. To your friend's body." Sklark says. "She'll die within 24 hours Johnny, but don't worry, you'll have enough time. I guess." Sklark says again. "Now then, I'm giving you a task. Beneath the chair there a knife and in your friend's pocket, there's the cure for the poison. Now what you need to do is, put the cure liquid inside the syringe, and it needs at least a drop of your blood inside the syringe with the cure to cure her. Now then, if you don't mind, I believe I have a business with Mr. President from school." Sklark says. Johnny then hesitantly grabs the cure, put it inside the syringe. But Johnny was scared to cut his blood out. "Come on, Johnny. Your Brave Commander. Brave, brave, brave." Johnny says to gain his braveness.
