Chapter 18 - Sazaly Headquarters

[Opening Scene: The Dawn of a New Era]

After their victorious missions across dimensions, the Sazaly family decided it was time to build something lasting:

a new home, a base, a symbol of unity and future strength.

Gabriel, wielding his tremendous powers of gravity, magma, building, prehistoric beast command, and blacksmithing,

took the lead.

> Gabriel (serious voice):

"This house won't just be a home.

It'll be the heart of our family — the future of earth's hope."

Using magma to forge unbreakable foundations, summoning ancient stone with orbit control,

Gabriel shaped the land like an artist crafting a masterpiece.

Nel, Neo, Easter, Elly May, Nico, and even Felly assisted —

each using their own powers to help: carrying, molding, enchanting.

[Construction Montage: Building the HQ]

Walls made of volcanic blacksteel, etched with prehistoric runes.

Defense systems embedded using Kriztan Nico's tech abilities.

Training rooms reinforced to withstand cosmic-level battles.

A war room for future global missions.

Personal rooms for each family member — customized to their styles.

Felly added the final touch:

a giant golden lion crest above the main entrance, symbolizing her fiery spirit and motherly protection.

> Felly (smiling proudly):

"Now it really feels like home."

[Promotion Announcement: Neo's Rise]

While construction was ending,

the Earth Defense Force sent an urgent message broadcasted on TV3:

> TV Anchor:

"Breaking news!

Kriz Neo, at only 15 years old and in 10th grade,

has been officially appointed the youngest Captain of Earth's Defense Force!"

The camera showed Neo standing proudly, dressed in simple formal clothes, no superhero suit —

his Kriz Scythe resting by his side.

The family clapped and cheered, proud of him.

> Nel (smirking):

"Told you, bro... you were born for greatness."

> Neo (grinning):

"Same to you, brother."

[Celebration Scene: The Family Party]

That night, the family organized a private celebration at their brand-new HQ.

Long tables lined with delicious dishes made by Felly and Gabriel (super-speed cooking magic!).

Music filled the halls, lively and cheerful.

The kids played games, danced, and teased each other.

Even Chelestar was invited, joining in shyly but happily.

The air was filled with love, laughter, and a feeling of invincibility.

[Late Night Scene: Sleepy Chelestar]

After the party wound down, and most of the younger kids were half-asleep at the tables...

Chelestar stumbled sleepily toward Nel.

Her nine fluffy tails dragged the floor as her eyelids drooped,

but her eyes shined with a soft glow.

> Chelestar (sleepy and blushing):

"N-Nel... can I... stay here tonight...?

I-I'm too sleepy to go home... and... maybe sleep... beside you?"

The entire room went silent for a second, before Gabriel, Felly, and the others chuckled quietly in the background, pretending not to notice.

Nel, scratching his head nervously but smiling warmly, answered:

> Nel (gently):

"Of course, Chel. Come on."

He took her hand and led her to his room.

---

[Cozy Moment: Nel and Chelestar's Night Together]

Nel's room was simple but strong — walls of obsidian and starlight,

a huge soft bed in the middle.

Chelestar immediately flopped down, curled into a ball,

and her nine tails instinctively wrapped around Nel when he joined her under the blanket.

> Chelestar (whispering dreamily):

"Thank you, Nel... you're always... my hero..."

Nel smiled, staring at the ceiling, thinking:

> "No matter how strong I get... this is the world I fight to protect."

Slowly, they both drifted into peaceful sleep, the night wrapping them in a cocoon of safety.

The stars outside shimmered brightly,

whispering of coming adventures yet to unfold.
