There I was standing at the ruins of the first dragon temple and in front of me was the motionless body of the dark dragon which was imprisoned beneath, Torii gates, a True Several Thousand Hands Buddha and multiple layers of modified Eight Trigrams Sealing seals which reinforces itself using the chi of the prisoner and the seals over time will become indestructible.
I took in the view which was illuminated by the lights of my A.S.H.T.A.A. I looked around and saw nothing but more than endless darkness. For a moment I feel despair as endless as the darkness that encompasses me but then I slapped myself or my metallic helmet because last time I had lost everything I was meant to protect but this time I protected everything I was meant to protect and I have a promise to my family to uphold.
I am Jonathan Keyes Long and I always keep my promises. I got out of my A.S.H.T.A.A and started dissembling it. Suddenly the system interface asks," WHAT ARE YOU DOING, HOST?" " I need to go back to my dimension and for that I'm trying to figure out a solution." Said Jonathan to the system. The system panel appeared and it asked," WHY?" " BECAUSE I MADE A PROMISE!!!! " I yelled. " YOU ARE TRAPPED IN THE NOTHING OF THE UNIVERSE. YOU DIDN'T BRING THE ONLY THING THAT COULD HELP YOU ESCAPE. WHY WASTE TIME? " Asked the system panel.
" Trying to keep my promise is never a waste of time." I replied while disassembling the A.S.H.T.A.A I had on me. " IN YOUR PAST LIFE YOU MURDERED MILLIONS IN ORDER TO KEEP YOUR CIVILIZATION INTACT. WHILE YOUR MOTIVATION WAS REVENGE AT FIRST IT BECAME YOUR SELF IMPOSED DUTY OVER TIME. BUT LGBTQ FLOURISHES YET AGAIN IN YOUR OLD WORLD AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE CONSTRAINTS YOU PLACED ON THE PEOPLE OF YOUR CURRENT WORLD UNRAVELS ALBEIT IT WILL TAKE A FEW THOUSAND YEARS AFTER ALL YOU TAUGHT NO ONE THE KNOWLEDGE YOU CONSIDERED STRATEGICALLY IMPORTANT YOU DIDN'T EVEN ENTRUST THEM TO YOUR FAMILY." Said the panel.
" Yes, you're right, system. My actions at the end of the day remain insignificant compared to the universe or even the omniverse but that doesn't mean it's insignificant for the people who were affected by me." I replied. " BUT TIME CORRODES ALL. EVEN IF YOUR CIVILIZATION SURVIVES AND THRIVES TILL THE HEAT DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE IT WILL ULTIMATELY BE WIPED OUT BY THE END OF TIME ITSELF. BUT YOUR LEGACY WILL BE FORGOTTEN EVEN BEFORE THAT. SO, DOESN'T THAT MEAN ALL LIVES ARE MEANINGLESS?" Asked the system panel.
I stopped doing what I was doing and I looked straight at the system panel and said," In death if life becomes meaningless then it means that the life in question was not lived right. Life that has been lived right will leave behind the greatest legacy and that life will never be meaningless even if it can only inspire someone even for a fraction of a second and at that moment that life transcended death and life will not become meaningless even when faced with the end of all known space. A meaningful life transcends the ultimate end itself."
The panel went blank and suddenly the darkness itself lit up and I was the center. I heard a voice saying," CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HOST FOR YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE UNDERSTOOD THE MEANING OF LIFE AND HAVE TRANSCENDED THE BOUNDS OF THE UNIVERSE. YOU HAVE ACHIEVED ETERNITY OF THE BEGINNING AND THE END. YOU HAVE BECOME BEYOND THE UNIVERSE WHILE REMAINING HUMAN. YOU HAVE BECOME SOMETHING EVERY GOD, DEITY AND CELESTIAL ENTITY WISHES TO ACHIEVE. YOU HAVE BECOME THE VERY EMBODIMENT OF TRUE INFINITY. YOU ARE NOW CIRCUMDANS OMINA. IT WAS AN HONOUR TO GUIDE YOU HOST."
I felt it. Every atom, every thought, knowledge, events, questions, answers, the past , present and future in all of its possibilities. Every thought, emotion, what ifs of every creature of the omniverse I felt it. I can see everything at every angle, at every perspective and all that is happening at every moment of the past present and future which I can process without going insane.
I have truly become One Who Encompasses All. But all the knowledge and power in the omniverse is irrelevant because I have made a promise to my family and I plan to keep it. I willed a path to be opened at my dimension and it opened in a dazzling gateway of white with streaks of red, green and blue.
The main dimension:
The dragons present were struggling to keep the frantic Susan, Haley, Jake and Rose at bay as they were yelling and trying to dig through the rubble that remained. Their armour amplified strength is great but their body gets tired over time. As they were sitting on the ground motionless while their hollow eyes looked at the ground. The councillors meanwhile are having a dilemma of their own.
They are dragons and they have their own pride as dragons as they always considered humanity to be weak and they collectively believed that humanity needed protection from the magical world but one human and his army has utterly destroyed an army composed of creatures that has been the headache and fear of dragons for generations and the one who's responsible for all these sealed and banished the ultimate enemy at the cost of his own life while all the other dragons except the American dragon was busy saving their own hides.
Lao Shi went beside his kneeling kin and said," Have faith in Jonathan because my son in law has pulled miracles again and again."
" How? Dad is stuck in a completely different dimension. He must feel so helpless." Said Jake in a hoarse voice. " Perhaps the answer lies within the glasses Jonathan entrusted to you young dragon." Said Lao Shi and as Jake was about to put the glasses on and at that moment a dazzling gate of white light with streaks of red, green and blue appeared on the rubble and from that pillar walked out a man whose brown trench coat was flowing in the nonexistent wind.

His face became clear with each step. When his face became fully visible he yelled," I'm back.
