The Earth, Azure gate. 23:50 at night.

Elsa was completely hysterical, although on the outside she seemed calm. All the members of the cabinets of each city were already in position, with Commander Kenny and the "expert in languages r03;r03;and communications" Tommas Kirby at his side.

What unfortunately prevented Elsa from running to the portal as soon as it opened ...

"Elsa ... I know you're worried, but control your instincts" Flynn's hand on her shoulder managed to get the blonde out of her thoughts. Elsa didnt answer, only answering with a small nod. Her mind was still working at full speed, planning dozens of possible scenarios... but one thought remained above all others.

"I have to find her... please sir, I never pray to you, but make Hannah be in the new world... please, please..."

But again, Elsa's thoughts were interrupted by the appearance of Azure key this time.

 "I see that you are all ready, I am very happy- What is this collective thought ?!

 
Hannah ... the portal? Another voice like mine?

You dont have to use words, I can see what you are transmitting to me.

This portal has energetic traces of activation, and although without checking the Gate of my old friend I can not assure anything ...

 
Hannah has many chances to be in your new home already. Let's leave this topic aside for a moment, okay?

I want to clarify one thing that I hope you already have clear.

 
This world? Within a year or so I will close the portal that connects to this place, so you will have to build everything possible and shelter all humans.

And dont be afraid, only the continent where you will appear is as big as Eurasia, Africa and both Americas.

 
With this last warning, let's proceed with the opening "

Azure key began to shine, emitting small particles that floated to the portal. This little by little began to shine in resonance, until finishing generating again the portal that I take to Hannah, only that this time its tone was bluish instead of the intense green of before.

"With this ... everything is done ...

I leave to you, humanity, the rest of the work, it will be hard, very much, but I trust that you will overcome all the barriers ...

Good luck ... and ask my friend for help if you need it...

opening the portal consumes much more energy than it seems ...

uffff ... "

Azure gate flew back, away from the earth without saying anything else.
Millions of humans all over the world saw their savior turn away, confused by this "help" so... limited and concrete.

To avoid fear or distrust in the people, Commander Kenny retrieved the microphone, and with a gesture of hands indicated to all the cameras that they began to record and broadcast.

"Humans, Azure Gate has opened the door for us! Now, the command teams of the first four cities of humanity and the leaders of the first human base, the Zodiac, we will enter" Nova terrae "! Wish us luck on the other side!" Among millions of applauses, Kenny turned off the microphone.

"Gentlemen, ladies... it's time "Kenny and Kirby started walking towards the portal, followed by the elite assault team.

After that, Vagrand, Maria and the other mayors began to follow them.
And after them, it was the turn of the rest of each team. Elsa took one last breath on Earth, still praying for Hannah's safety. "It is now or never... the last frontier of humanity..."

Elsa began to walk at a rhythm with her companions, without ceasing to admire the immensity of the portal. The blonde took a last look back, where Chris, Light, Victoria... Juddit... encouraged them. Juddit and Elsa exchanged glances for a moment, until the blonde caught the message.

Elsa came to the portal, and after seeing Flynn and Valeria cross in front of him, followed them.

Nova terrae

 
Evergreen plain, Scarlet Gate:

00:01 at night.

The scarlet portal opened before the look of amazement of all Iloan in the area, its brightness so intense that even from Autumngate it was possible to see it clearly.

"Lift up your weapons! And get ready! First we'll try peace, but if they attack us, I want a direct response!" High captain Amra wasnt exactly known for being a lovely old lady. Dozens of invasive and violent species had found death under the orders of the hundred-year-old leader of the Iloan United Forces.

 
Farael gave a quick glance to his men, who understood the message. The unit of Amra came equipped with the best crystalline rifles and hardened arrows directly from the "Well of the nucleus". Compared to the weapons of Farael's men, it was like comparing stone and metal castles with houses of mud and snow.

The portal emitted a wave as if it were the surface of a lake, and under the intense red light, 2 beings came out.

 
The youngest, he wore what looked like military clothing, accompanied by a cap decorated with medals. At first sight and without knowing humanity, Amra assumed that he should be their leader.

The second man was shorter and fatter, and his head was completely shaved. Who in his right mind would get rid of his hair?! Farael couldnt even imagine a reason to lose the pride and the method of connection with the arcane magics. Humans were rare, no doubt.

 
Amra got out of her chair, and leaning on her cane, walked until she was facing the uniformed man. Humans were minuscules compared to the Iloans, to the point that an old woman like Amra was 4 heads taller than a man who seemed to be in her years of fullness.

 
But from the point of view of Farael, who saw that behind the shoulder more humans were entering, the diversity was much greater. One of the humans was as tall as an Iloan of the adult prairie, while two others beside her seemed as tall as a child of the same tribe.

Women as tall as normal Iloans, others taller than the Iloans themselves, then men and women as low as children. Humans were really interesting as a species, Farael thought.

Amra cleared her voice. "Before you, the High Captain Amra Yelni, leader of the United Forces Iloan, your name, human?"

The uniformed man turned to his companion, and after a brief exchange of words in another language, he headed back to Amra. "My name is Kenny Durant, leader of the defense forces of humanity, a pleasure Mrs. Amra"

Kenny extended his hand to Amra, who I doubt for a moment. This "human" had the nerve to speak to her in another language ... and on top of that he wanted to hold the business ceremony? Amra was very tempted to give the order to shoot, but Commander Farael prevented her from reaching her.

"Mrs. Amra, I very much doubt that they know our language in the same way that we do not know theirs! Also, offering your hand to the other must be some kind of gesture of goodwill from the humanity!"

Amra smiled sideways at her lieutenant. "You answer for them? I dont think I can stand this one more minute, so I leave you in charge of making contact, Farael." Amra patted Farael's back, who was trembling and pale, while he watched as Amra I went back to the chair.

Farael took a quick breath, before turning back to the human.

"... We ... dont understand your language" Farael tried to exemplify with his hands in the best possible way, praying that the general gestures werent too different between the two races.

The human nodded, as if he had prepared it. The plump man stepped forward, and handed a small book to Farael.

Fareal quickly scanned it, seeing that each page was an image of one of the humans present with a word below. The human alphabet seemed similar to the Iloan, although with much less letters.
The main human took the book and opened it on the page with his picture.

"I am Kenny, Ke - Ny. K E N N Y"

"That's what I understood, Mr. Kenny. The problem is the rest of the words without context!" Fareal sighed, listening to Amra's laugh in the background.

Kenny looked at his lieutenant, and after another exchange of words, he looked back at Farael. "K ... E ... N ... N ... Y. Kenny" Farael sighed rolling his eyes at the semi-impossible task in front of him.

Then, and without warning, one of the smallest human separated from the line. The human soldiers shouted something, but that did not stop her. Farael watched with interest as the human came to Kenny and pushed him away, snatching the book from her hands.

"Lord Farael, my name is Elsa, El-sa, a super-big girl has come here, almost her height." Elsa pointed to one of the humans in the line, a hairier one with a more beastly appearance. "Her name is Hannah ... please tell me she's here..."

"Elsa, you're interfering in a meeting that can destroy our relations!" Kenny separated Elsa from the middle, offering Farael a bow of apology.

Farael shook his head, pulling away from Kenny and taking Elsa by the shoulder. "If Hannah is the name of a human with that height, she appeared here a few hours ago very wounded... my men took the guard who stopped her and "Hannah" to the barracks"

The human did not seem to understand all the words, but the tears that emanated from her eyes did not seem like pain, they seem... like joy. Farael gestured to Amra, who gave the order to one of his men to go after the human.

"ELSA, YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THAT THEY CALL THEIR ARMY!" Kenny shot Elsa to the ground, giving the signal to her soldiers to aim her. "You have condemned us all for not waiting for us to create a link between our languages!" Kenny was completely furious, to the point of drawing his own gun to point Elsa.

"You dont know what he said! I'm sure he said Hannah is-"

"I DONT CARE ABOUT HANNAH! I CARE ABOUT HUMANITY, AND YOU HAVE DESTROYED OUR ONLY OPPORTUNITY!"

 
Farael interposed between Elsa and Kenny, the Iloa trying to stop whatever was happening. Mainly ... because Amra seemed ready to press the button, and as soon as one of these humans pulled a trigger, the captain would be ready to respond with the same violence.

"Please, I dont know what happens between you, but there's no reason to fight!" Faral watched from the corner of his eye as some humans fainted, while on the other side many Iloans were preparing to take cover.

"Lord Farael, dont take into account that bastard's disrespect! Please forgive humanity! We need this world because ours is dying!" Kenny threw himself to the ground, pleading on his knees. Thank God this was impossible to be broadcasting for Earth.

"But ... we havent done anything to you!" Farael was trembling, for the human was performing the ritual of mourning without any apparent motive.

"Farael ... what's going on?" Amra asked, still smiling from her chair. Even from 15 meters, it was possible to feel the malice that emanated from that psychopath."Why is the human being challenging you to a duel?"

"And to me you ask me?! Do you think I speak that language?!" Fareal was completely attacked by nerves, while Kenny didnt stop challenging him to duel over and over again.

"Please, forgive us! Please, I beg of you!" Kenny didnt stop kneeling again and again, trying to appeal to the common sense of Farael. "ELSA! Pray too! This is totally your fault!"

"Kenny... I dont think kneeing means apologies to them!" Elsa paled as she watched as more and more alien soldiers pointed at them. "Look around!"

Kenny paid attention for once, but... the only image of those soldiers pointing at them, the feeling of having failed humanity... was enough to cause a shock that left him unconscious on the ground.

Without Kenny commanding them, the human soldiers went into panic, and made the logical decision. Target the Iloans soldiers, and shout to all the leaders to return to Earth.

The situation was completely disastrous ... but Elsa could only think of one thing.

Hannah

"HANNAH! PLEASE! WE NEED YOU!" Elsa shouted with all her strength, making a cave with her hands to try to reach further with the scream.

Amra decided to take that cry as a war cry, and pressing the button of her staff, gave the order of no survivors to her soldiers.

The Iloans soldiers began to load the crystals of their weapons, from contention to execution mode.

....

.......

..........

"STOP, EVERYONE!" Hannah's voice pierce the hearts of everybody, like a shooting star, resonating as much for Iloans as for humans. Elsa could only raise her head, crying with joy at seeing her beloved bandage cover up to the portal, accompanied by another of the aliens ... and ... a fairy.

"What kind of first contact is this ?!" Hannah limped up to Elsa, who jumped into the arms of the giantess crying with all her might. "Are we going to ruin the Azure key and Scarlet key plans?"

"Wait, do you speak our language? So fast ?! Tell them to stop challenging us to a duel please!" Farael begged Hannah, as he watched as Alanis snatched the baton from Amra and broke it into pieces. "Oh my goddess ..."

"Stop pointing and stop to challenge them or whatever you are doing! Please!" Hannah begged the human soldiers, who did not take a moment to drop their weapons and raise their hands in surrender.

"Hannah ..." Elsa wiped tears from one of her girlfriend's bandages. "Do you speak the language of these people? How long have you been here?!"

"A few hours! Minimum 4, because I have been unconscious 1 and a half and I have another 2 and a half talking with Alanis ... what the hell has happened ?! How did you get to this situation?!"

Elsa didnt know what to say, only pointing to Kenny. Hannah immediately understood, and after leaving Elsa on the floor, she called Alanis and Fee.
"Ala! Fee! This is Elsa! And these are the humans! Please... tell the Iloan soldiers to lower their weapons... the situation is very tense..."

Alanis nodded, and turned to Amra's men. "Everyone! It has been a confusion and it is already solved! There is no need to be hostile!"Alanis raised her hand with the glyph of bad omen.

"Amber key, the superior of the same Scarlet key, has chosen me with her brand to forge bonds of friendship with humans!"

Amra raised an eyebrow, between curious and mosqueda, while all the Iloans present opened their mouths in sheer surprise. For them, thinking of a being superior to Scarlet Key was simply impossible... But no one in their right mind would paint a heart on their own! And Alanis... seemed to understand the human.

"Wait a minute, Hannah ... have you taught human language, that ... Iloan?" Elsa opened her eyes confused, before the amused look of Hannah.

Hannah just smiled, showing Elsa her own mark on her hand. "We have invented that of Amber key to give importance to the story, but the rest is true! It seems, and now it is clear, that I can communicate with her and her people, and she with me and with all of you!

Now more than ever, I want to know what the hell are Azure key, Scarlet Key and Emerald Key! His powers and abilities... are simply too perfect"

Elsa could only nod, as she sighed in relief at having managed to overcome such a terrible crisis. Except Kenny, he was still unconscious in his own crisis.
