It was a normal day in Phixheim. Everyone was happy and enjoying their time. But there was one voice that contradicted it. A wailing noise could be heard from Berry's room in the castle.
"Berry, come out. What happened to you?" Amy worriedly knocked on the door.
"Should I eat the door?" Gali asked.
"No! I'll tell Glanpa. He should know what to do." Amy said and went to find Alexander.
Alexander was in his workshop designing the new space station.
"Glanpa, Berry has locked himself in his room and is crying," Amy told him.
"He must be watching a movie." Alexander guessed.
"No, he's been like this for the past 3 days. He hasn't even eaten anything." Amy revealed.
Alexander was truly worried for him now, "Let's go and see what's the problem."
Alexander just used magic to unlock the door and entered. The room was very untidy and dark. Amy went and opened the curtain while he went to Berry in bed.
He stroked his fluffy head, "Hey, Berry. What happened? Why are you locked in here?"
Berry looked up at Alexander with teary eyes and quickly jumped into his arms. Alexander hugged him and heard all his problems.
For Amy, it was just random chirping but for him, it was meaningful words. Alexander had given him the ability to speak but he was deliberately not using it.
"She...She came out of nowhere and took over my people. I am the king of all Phoenix, you know. I tried to fight her but she's too strong. I don't know what to do, dad." Berry said.
Alexander had a small idea of who this new female phoenix was.
"Alright, let's go and see who she is." Alexander got up.
"NO! That would make me look weak. I must deal with her myself." Berry stopped him.
"Hmmm... Okay, then I will make you powerful." Alexander snapped his finger and did just that.
Berry felt the changes and gained some confidence. "Yes, now I will go and beat her."
Alexander secretly followed him as he was worried. Once in his small Phoenix village in the jungle. Alexander saw this new Phoenix. It was none other than the Phoenix living in Jean, now named Red.
He had put the white-hot room in Phixheim so Red could move freely about in Phixheim.
"Huh, you have returned ha? I will make you run away just like before." Red said.
"Then let's call in the couple. They are probably being lovy dovy somewhere." Olivia said and looked in her locket that Leonidas had gifted her. It showed where Medusa was.
She then called them back. Medusa apparated with Loki. "What happened, Grandma?"
But Medusa shockingly looked at the people present. "Did I miss something important?"
Alexander walked up to her with a warm smile and caressed her head. "No, my lovely child. I was just talking with Odin about you and Loki's marriage."
"Oh... I thought I forgot some important mee..." Then she realized.
"WHAAAAT!... REALLY GRANDPA?" She loudly exclaimed.
"Haha... Yes. Who do you think your Grandpa is? My happiness lies in your happiness so of course I would agree. Loki has also shown that he truly loves you so there is no harm." He admitted.
Suddenly Medusa hugged him tightly, "Thank you, Grandpa"
After that, it was all about deciding when to hold the wedding. Earth would give too much attention to him so he decided to do it in Asgard. The date was fixed for a month from now. Medusa was too excited and went away to tell her sisters. First, she went to Hela as she was her favorite sister.
Odin and Frigga had decided to stay the night and enjoy the Earth's hospitality. It was like their own small vacation.
"Boss, I have compiled all the important data needed relating to the NASA launch incident." Ghost told him.
Alexander got to work and looked into the file. Easy to say, all the Oil and Energy companies were too much involved in the political world. Alone in the United States, they supported many candidates in their election and lobby many bills that mostly profited them.
But Alexander's eyes fell on a name he thought he had heard, "Ghost, who is this Stanley Allen Meyer?"
"Sir, he is the man who built a water-powered engine. He gained quite a popularity back then but he died suddenly on March 20, 1998, while dining at a restaurant. His brother claimed that during a meeting with two Belgian investors in a restaurant, Meyer suddenly ran outside, saying 'They poisoned me'. Meyer's patents have expired. His inventions are now in the public domain, available for all to use without restriction or royalty payment." Ghost reported.
"Woah, so the man had really made a water power efficient engine. And these companies got him assassinated. Ghost, buy the patent at all costs. Also, look for any other research material about him that may have gotten stolen. There must be a reason why no one has made a water-powered engine from his public patents yet." Alexander instructed.
"Also call the Attorney General to come to me. He's going to be busy soon." He added.
~Let's see how much I can squeeze these companies dry.~
