S2, 14 Reassurance (February 17, 2015)

The next instalment in the saga of Jera.

Note: Since I couldn't think of a main pic, I did what Kermunklin the Giant Evil House Head always does with this Insurgency builds.

Jera had pondered what Jayko, Commando of the Imperium, had said about Jakor being a mad killer like the rest of Aurelia, and had decided that Aurelia wasn’t worth going to. After he and the rest of the passengers on the passenger ship he was on were dropped off to Earth, Jera decided to go back home.

Suddenly, he heard an alarm sound from his hover board, and realized it was losing power.

Jera managed to safely land his board on the ground.

He then noticed he had conveniently landed at the bike and board shop he usually went to, so he decided to have his board checked there.

Jera opened the door to the shop and saw a worker he was friends with at the desk.
Desk man: "Hello,Jera!"

Jera: "Hi Mr. Willik!"

Mr. W: "What brings you here, Jera?"

Jera: "I was going around town on my hoverboard when it started losing power, and I landed right by this shop."

Mr. W: "Well, that’s handy that you landed right here. Al??"

A worker came over.

Mr. W: "Young Jera’s hoverboard needs fixing."

Al: "Alright."

Jera looked around the room of the shop.

Mr. W: "Is something bothering you, Jera?"

Jera turned toward Mr. Willik. He had a keen knack for detecting people's feelings, even when they themselves weren’t fully aware. Jera felt he needed to tell the truth.

Jera: "Can you keep a secret?"

Mr. W: "Yes, though I probably won’t remember it anyways."

Jera chuckled at Mr. Willik’s joke then told him about how he had decided to join Aurelia but then felt doubts and decided to turn back.

Mr. W: "Well, seems like you have a tough choice to make."

Jera: "Um, yea."

Mr. W: "I have some advice for you. Whether in the Imperium or Aurelia or even with the Marauders, there are good and bad people in them, but you can’t judge those groups just by a couple of people."

Jera: "So, you're saying that I should go with my original plan and join Aurelia?"

Mr. W: "I’m not pressuring you to do anything; It’s your choice. But if you want my opinion, I feel there is corruption in the Imperial government, as that Jakor fellow says. And also, can you keep a secret?"

Jera: "Maybe, but I might lose track of it anyways."

Mr. W: "Heh heh. I actually wish I could join Aurelia, but with my age I can’t get around easily, and I have this job to do."

Jera: "Really?"

Then Al came in.

Al: "All your board needed was some fuel."

Al: "Here it is."

Jera: "Thanks."

Shortly after Al left.

Jera: "Thank you for your advice, Mr. Willik. If I do join Aurelia, I’ll find a way to let you know, and I might even try to get you there."

Mr.W: "Oh, there’s no need for that, but thanks for offering. Bye now!"

Jera: "Goodbye!"

Jera: "*What a nice man*."

Jera: "*I think I should join Aurelia after all. Jakor may be a bit aggressive but I think Aurelia is right for me*."

But before he could board his board, Jera was tackled from behind!

To be continued!

In the next pic.

Jera fell to the ground. The attacker was still on him. He struggled, trying to shake off the attacker and get away.

Then the attacker relented. Jera turned around.

????: "Hey."

It was Jera’s older brother, Mark, who had a habit of harassing Jera in such manner as he had just done.

Jera: "What are you doing here?"

Mark: "I was visiting here on leave from the army, and I go back today."

Jera: "You-you weren’t sent to bring me back home, were you?"

Mark: "What do you mean?"

Jera: "Didn’t Mom and Dad show you my note that I was leaving and send you to find me and bring me back?"

Mark: "No, I’m joining you."

Jera was surprised.

Jera: "You’re going to Aurelia with me??"

Mark: "Yes. I've been upset with the Imperium for awhile, and your note inspired me."

Jera: "I inspired you??"

Jera had always looked up to his brother with everything.

Mark: "I’m not the only one you inspired."

Mark: "Your sister decided to come along too."

Jera: "Mera?"

Mera: "I felt the need to join you pair."

Jera was amazed that with his decision to leave to Aurelia that he had inspired both his older siblings.

But then he suddenly felt sad.

Jera: "I feel bad for our parents. They might not fully support Aurelia, and they just lost their children to it."

Mera: "I feel you are doing the right thing. Besides, they still have David."

Jera: "I guess you’re right."

Jera: "So, what should we do?"

Mark: "I’ve got a ship that will bring us to an Aurelian supportive planet. And if you’re interested, I got some battle armor for you."

Jera: "Great. Let’s do this!"
