Chapter 113

The engines of the DragonJet whispered against the sky, cutting through clouds like a blade of purpose. Inside, Jack Parker sat unmoving, his eyes fixed on the horizon. His dragon dagger lay in his lap, gleaming softly beneath the low light of the cabin. Kaida's voice echoed in his earpiece.

"ETA to Reidsville: fifty-eight minutes."

He said nothing.

Emily’s last words before he boarded rang in his ears. You’re a symbol.

But right now, he wasn’t flying as a symbol. He was flying as a warning.

Reidsville sat beneath a haze of smog and silence. The moment Jack’s boots touched the tarmac, the atmosphere shifted. The sun barely penetrated the thick clouds overhead. Jack didn’t wait for clearance or announcement. He moved with purpose.

The VK Directive loomed ahead—Victor Krane’s infamous headquarters. A grotesque fusion of corporate power and criminal arrogance, it towered like a crownless throne in the heart of Reidsville. Blackened steel, crimson neon lining, and windows tinte

    “Every planet carries invisible fields—magnetospheres—that guard them…”Jack’s voice took on a velvet hush, the kind that made everyone sit straighter without realizing. The projection shifted to glowing lines wrapped around Earth, like shimmering auroras.“They deflect solar wind,” Jack continued. “Radiation. Harmful particles. Without a magnetosphere, a planet’s atmosphere can be stripped away over time.”Matilda scrunched her brows. “Like… bullies blowing out your birthday candles?”Jack chuckled softly. “Yes. Exactly. And the magnetosphere pushes back. Quietly. Constantly.”Lena hugged her knees. “So boundaries again.”“Boundaries,” Jack confirmed. “Invisible, but vital.”Ryan raised a hand dramatically. “So basically, vibes are magnetic fields.”Emily groaned, “Please don’t put that on a T-shirt.”Ryan already had his phone half-raised. “Too late, vibe-sphere merch banks itself.”Jackson swatted his hand down. “Focus. Science.”Jack continued, rotating the display to Jupiter’s ma

    For a long moment, nobody moved.The fire crackled softly, shifting from celebration to study hall intimacy.Then Jackson cleared his throat.“So… uh,” he began, pushing his glasses up. “Speaking of growing worlds, I’ve actually been wondering about something completely unrelated but somehow emotionally relevant.”Ryan tensed dramatically. “If you ask how babies are made, I’ll throw myself into the snow.”Jackson glared. “No. Science. Space. The good stuff.”Jack raised a brow. “…Continue.”Jackson swiped his holo-tablet. Stars spun across the air in swirling constellations.“Gaseous planets,” he said, voice reverent. “Like Jupiter. Saturn. How’d they evolve differently? Why do some worlds become solid and earthlike and others… gigantic storms forever?”Lena’s eyes widened, fascinated. Matilda clasped her hands like a kid at storytime. Sarah leaned back comfortably, knowing that when Jack explained science, peace descended like snow.Jack rested his elbows on the table, the firelight

    The celebration fire faded to a focused simmer. The cabin’s warmth settled into something almost sacred—a planning war room disguised as cozy wood and soft lamp glow.Sarah stretched her arms above her head. “To build something like this… we should analyze the competition.”Ryan perked. “You mean… the other cartoon networks? Like the Big Ones?” His eyes widened like he was saying the names of rival clans.Emily nodded. “It’s naïve not to benchmark. Their strengths, their flaws.”Jackson pulled the holo-screen closer, fingers dancing. “Competitor analysis mode: on.”He tapped a few icons.Three logos hovered above the table like floating runes—digital ghosts surrounded by decades of nostalgia.Matilda whispered, awestruck, “…The Holy Trinity.”Ryan gasped. “Cartoon Network. Nickelodeon. Disney Channel.”Jack folded his arms. “Let’s break them down.”The AI hummed, eager. “Proceeding with comparative emotional frameworks.”CARTOON NETWORK flashed first.Lena leaned forward, eyes bright.

    The cheering eventually tapered into softer chatter, the kind that hummed through bones instead of eardrums. Everyone slumped into fresher positions, eyes still bright like kids staring at fireworks through sleepy lids.Ryan flopped upside-down across the beanbag, hair dangling. “Okay, honest question—how do we stack up? Like… against other cartoon networks?”Emily lifted a brow. “As in… comparisons?”Ryan pointed wildly. “Benchmarking! Industry evaluation! Creative warfare!”Sarah snorted. “You’re dramatic.”“COMPARATIVE ANALYTICS!” he yelled, then immediately coughed politely. “Please.”Jack sighed, but the corner of his mouth twitched. “…Fine. Benchmarking matters.”Jackson flicked open another holo-window. “Let’s talk competition.”Matilda clasped her hands dramatically. “Disney!”Ryan whispered like a monk before enlightenment. “The Mouse Kingdom.”Emily’s posture sharpened. “They have legacy power. Decades of narrative imprinting. Iconic branding.”Lena nodded. “Kids imprint on

    The cabin was still vibrating with shared adrenaline when the applause finally died down. Breathless, energized, glowing with purpose, the team collapsed into seats, beanbags, stools, and floor cushions like soldiers after battle.Jackson flicked open a holo-board with a renewed fever. “Okay. DragonJunior is official. Now we need genre lanes. Content pillars. Emotional curricula.”Matilda blinked. “…Emotional what-now?”Emily snapped her fingers. “Curricula. Structured emotional education. Episodes tailored to feelings like anxiety, guilt, shame, self-worth.”Ryan tilted his head. “So like… therapy school but with cartoons?”Sarah smirked. “With cool visuals and plush merch to normalize coping skills.”Ryan gasped. “…Normalize. Plush. Coping. Skills.”He whispered it reverently as if reciting a spell.Jack rubbed his temple but smiled. “We can assign emotional focus codes. Blue episodes for calming content. Orange for problem-solving. Yellow for affirmation-based stories.”Lena’s eyes

    The AI’s voice pulsed softly through the cabin.“Collective morale elevated. Purpose detected.”Ryan threw both fists in the air and spun like a malfunctioning satellite. “Purpose equals PROFITS!”Emily swatted him. “Purpose equals impact.”Matilda raised a finger. “Impact equals plushies.”Lena nodded sagely. “Thus, plushies equals healing.”Sarah blinked. “How… did we reach that conclusion?”Ryan jabbed at his chest proudly. “SCIENCE!”Emily groaned into her palms. “That is absolutely not science.”Jackson spread out a new banking analytics holo-sheet. “Based on current media projections? If the pitch lands, merchandising alone could generate anywhere between two hundred to four hundred million credits in the first five years.”Everyone froze.Matilda’s head snapped around so fast she nearly pirouetted. “FOUR HUNDRED MILLION?!”Ryan squealed. “COLLEGE DEBT TERMINATED!”Emily folded her arms. “Merchandising royalties vary. Disney takes 35% to 55% depending on the clause.”Jackson tap
