A Journey Through The Worlds 25 Not Normal.

"You know that if you got found not just her even you would have suffered so why did you hide her"

They stayed silent for a while before the one that Robert called Cooper said:

"Because she's family"

The others also took one step forward as they stood in front Dan and the others putting little Ru behind them, even Robert left Dan's side and stood in front of her.

Little Ru covered her face and started sobbing silently.

"You know Robert, I really think high of this crew that we have" Dan said while smiling happily.

He really did mean what he said, seeing those people doing their best to help someone they knew, in a dangerous world like this made him quite satisfied with them, and he decided that he would take them with him no matter what after all he will need people like that, because as long as they acknowledge him as a part of them they won't leave him when he will need them.

Then he turned his head to the small crewman and said:

"You what's your name"

Little Ru was afraid when he heard Dan call to her but after a while she still lifted her head looked at him straight to the eyes before saying:

"My name is Ruby, but everyone calls me little Ru"

Dan smiled at her words before saying:

"Little Ru... You have a great family, you should cherish it"

After that he looked at Robert that was standing their foolishly after hearing Dan's words before saying:

"Robert, let's go and see the s.h.i.+ps, Any wanted to see them since a while now" after that he started moving without waiting for anyone to follow him.

Randy and Any were the first to star walking behind him, while the others stayed looking at each other not understanding what Dan really meant with his words.

"Le... Let us follow them, believe me sir Dan and the others aren't like the one eyed dragon and his followers, they are better" old Frank said.

His words calmed the others down, and they started following them.

Barry felt somehow excited he didn't know why but ever since he heard who the one eyed dragon and the other blood power users died under Dan and the others hands he started respecting them from the bottom of his heart, so the problem that happened just now made him nervous as he didn't want to believe that Dan and the others were just like the one eyed dragon and his followers, but seeing what Dan did and hearing what he said gave him hope that they weren't the same and that they were different.

After they caught up to Dan and the others Dan turned his head to Robert and asked:

"Do the crewmen here have family members on the base?"

"Only three of them have brothers or sisters on the base, the others are orphans with no relatives at all" even though he was confused about why Dan asked him about that, but he still answered honestly.

"Then what about you do you have a family member there"

"No my family is here" Robert said with a smile.

"That's good, then I want you in the next two days to move all of their family members here to this cave" Dan said.

"Move them here? But why" Robert asked.

Not just him everyone their wore a confused expression on their faces, they didn't understand why he wanted to do that.

"You can take it as a gift from me to you and your family members" Dan said.

"A gift?" Robert asked he got really confused as that didn't seem as a gift but more like a punishment.

"Don't worry you will understand, when the great migration will start and the other leaders and their crewmen are here" Dan said.

When Robert Barry and old Frank heard this they showed contemplating expressions as that was almost the same as what he said when they asked him about what he meant by saying weirder things had happened, so they felt that something was really going to happen when the time comes.

Randy moved next to Dan and whispered:

"You want to take them with us"

"We don't have a lot of men, and I'm not going to let these men leave after all they are already a part of the one eyed dragon gang, and what's more maybe them going with us is going to be a better thing for them" Dan said.

"You all take them by force" Randy asked again.

"Yes, after all I... No we will need them not just as a crew but also we will need people like them in our team, people that won't turn on us when we need them the most, we only need of them to think of us as a part of them to get loyal followers, so I'm going to get them no matter what" Dan whispered back.

Randy didn't say anything he just walked next to them in silent.

After that they entered one of the s.h.i.+ps they took a tour in it, Any had a happy expression on her face the whole time they spent on the s.h.i.+p, she also kept on asking Robert different questions and had the same look on her face as the one that a student on a field-trip would have.

After they took a tour around all the three s.h.i.+ps they returned to the platform where Dan looked at the nine people and Robert before saying:

"You are going to be the crewmen of one of those three s.h.i.+ps soon, and believe me this year's journey to the ocean won't be like the others, but just as how it is not going to be like the others its conclusion won't be normal either so I want you to know that you shouldn't worry about anything after all you are going to be a part of my crew and I wish to be a part of your... family"

Seeing how none of them seemed to understand him he added with a smile:

"You don't have to worry or try to understand what I just said, the time will come when you will understand it so just don't worry and do your job... And you little Ru there's no need to be afraid now, no need to hide"

After he finished saying that he turned around and moved toward the tunnel.

Randy then smiled and talked to the crewmen for the first time:

"I know that you probably don't understand what he said and you don't believe him too, but you should know this the goal that we are working for during this year's great migration isn't just providing food, we are working for something much bigger and all of you are going to be a part of it"

Then all of them entered the tunnel leaving Robert and the crewmen standing their not understanding anything.

"Grandpa Robert what... Just what do they want to do during this year's great migration" Cooper asked when he saw that he could no more see Dan and the others.

"Even I don't know, but... I'm sure that it isn't something simple, and you should know that old Frank told me that, they didn't even know about anything when he met them, they didn't know about the one eyed dragon gang that the gang had s.h.i.+ps they didn't even know about the time of three great migration and blood baths, but they also some weird things like the change that happened to the day and other things" Robert said with a bitter smile.

"They didn't even know about blood baths, but then how were they able to kill the one eyed dragon and the others, aren't they blood power users too" little Ru asked, she and everyone else in the world that the only human capable of killing a blood power user is another blood power user.

"No they weren't blood power users when they took control of the one eyed dragon's gang" Robert said.

"What normal people capable of killing blood power users, that's can't be true" a young crewmen said.

Hearing his words Robert laughed a little before saying:

"I said that they aren't blood power users, I never said that they are normal people"

"What do you mean" Cooper asked in confusion.

"I don't know it's just what old Frank said, he said that they weren't simple at all"

"Let us leave that aside for now, what's more important is... Do you think that they won't do anything to little Ru" Cooper asked.

His question made everyone's faces turn serious they too thought about that.

"I... I really don't know but old Frank said that they were different from the one eyed dragon and the others, and it also seems that the only reason why they took control of the one eyed dragon's gang was because he told them that there were s.h.i.+ps under our control, so they may really need our help just as he said, and as long as he needs us I don't think they would do anything bad to us" Robert said uncertainly.

They talked for a while more before each of them returned to their rooms.

Dan and the others on the other hand were moving through the tunnel, at that time Randy asked Dan:

"Usually after dragons start fighting each other, how much time does that gives us, before the great migration starts I mean"

"It is different, usually we have between five and ten days" Dan said.

"We really don't have a lot of time... you are aware that we should move in the first day right, wait we can notice when it happens right" Randy asked, what he meant was that it can't be that they would only notice that the dragons were gone after not seeing them for a few days, he asked if there were clear signs.

"Yeah there are going to be signs we will notice it when it will happen, first all the dragons will release one big roar at the same time, and after that they will all fly to the sky together before flying to the southeast" Dan understood what Randy meant with his words so he told him what he wanted to know.

"Great at least we will know and we won't waste any time when that will happen" Randy said.

When they returned to the underground base it was almost dinner time as they stayed long in the cave, and took their time returning.

They met Nero and the others before heading to the meeting room.

"So how was the training today" Dan asked Katherine.

"It was good I'm way better than before, I think that after tonight's blood bath I'll be able to control it normally" Katherine answered happily but she also seemed as if she was struggling to say something when she mentioned the blood bath.

"That's great, I think that I really should thank you Nero for helping her with her training" Dan thanked Nero before turning his head to Robin and saying:

"What about you Robin, how are you feeling?"

"I'm good I wish that after tonight blood bath and your technique I'll be able to use my ability, it will probably be for just short distances but I won't be a good for nothing anymore" Robin said happily, he hated being weak and a good for nothing especially in a dangerous world like this with his sister next to him.

"Brother Do you really mean that" Any asked.

"Of course I do"

"Then we are really going to get stronger and stronger" Dan said.

They talked a bit more before having dinner together as usual.
