Reunion of the Three Commanders ARC
After the divine truth of L was revealed, people's perspectives on him changed slightly, but life gradually returned to normal.
The battle against Demon God Bleed had come at a cost—Red and Leaf were lost—but their sacrifice was honored. Everyone thanked them and moved forward with renewed determination.
Gray's New Resolve
Gray, now knowing L's true identity, respected him even more and dedicated himself to perfecting his Omni Destroyer Form. The other Immortals also resumed their daily tasks, but with newfound confidence—knowing that the True God was with them.
Lisa's Decision
Meanwhile, Lisa was preparing herself mentally and emotionally to fully accept L—not just as a warrior or a god, but as her true life partner.
First Oak's Future Plans
In the heart of Team Lightning's headquarters, First Oak, Oakad, and Giovanni sat together, discussing the future of their organization. They knew greater battles lay ahead and began strategizing for what was to come.
Clore's Realization
Elsewhere, Clore sat in quiet contemplation, feeling disheartened as he had yet to find his life partner. His older brother, Clow, placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
"Don't be sad, Clore," Clow said. "One day, you'll find your destined partner."
Clore looked at his brother and realized something profound—despite losing his closest friends, Clow still managed to find happiness in life. Inspired by this, Clore decided to do the same.
The two brothers stood up together and began their training, focusing on strengthening themselves for the battles to come.

A Walk Beneath the Stars
On top of the tallest tower in the city, L stood gazing at the sky, a soft breeze flowing through his hair.
Lisa approached him from behind and gently asked, "Why are you standing here, L?"
L continued looking at the sky and replied, "Something is coming."
Lisa didn't fully understand, but she knew that if L said it, then it was true.
L suddenly turned to her with a warm smile. "Let's go for a walk."
Lisa's face turned red, her heart skipping a beat, but she quickly nodded. "O-Okay!"
As they walked together through the city, rumors began to spread across Earth—people were whispering that L might be a god. Some believed it, while others dismissed it as mere speculation.
But before any rumors could settle, Team Lightning received an unexpected call.

The Return of the First Ketchum
Inside Team Lightning's headquarters, First Oak answered the call, and Giovanni, Oakad, and the others listened carefully.
A strong, familiar voice spoke through the communicator:
"Is this the people living on Earth?"
First Oak straightened. "Yes… Who is this?"
The voice chuckled softly. "I am the First Ketchum. I am returning to Team Lightning."
Everyone in the room froze for a moment before exploding with excitement.
"FIRST KETCHUM IS COMING BACK?!"
The First Ketchum continued, "I will arrive on Earth in two days." The call cut off.
A wave of joy and celebration swept through Team Lightning. The Commander of the Ketchum Family was returning!
Preparations for a grand welcome party began immediately.
But just as they were getting ready, an unusual presence was detected.

An Unexpected Arrival
Sensing something approaching, everyone rushed outside. At first, they assumed it was an enemy army, but as the figures came closer, their expressions changed.
A familiar presence was among them.
A powerful woman with long silver hair, shining golden eyes, and a commanding aura led the group—Crycelia, the first commander of the Yavoe Family.
Lisa and Lyra's eyes widened in shock and joy.
"GREAT-GRANDMOTHER?!"
As Crycelia's forces landed, another familiar figure stepped forward—an even older yet incredibly powerful woman.
The First Yavoe Commander, Yavia.
Lisa and Lyra ran toward her, eyes filled with emotion.
First Oak stepped forward and greeted her with respect. "Welcome back, First Yavoe."
Yavia nodded and smiled. "It's been a long time, Oakad."
She looked at her great-granddaughters, smiling warmly. "You have become strong—strong enough to defeat Team Ultra."
Then, turning toward Gray, she examined him closely before speaking. "So, you're the new leader of Team Lightning. I heard you married Lyra. Take good care of her."
Gray bowed slightly. "I will, First Yavoe."
Yavia nodded approvingly before turning her gaze toward L.
Her eyes narrowed. She had never seen him before.
She turned to Oakad. "Who is he?"
Oakad smiled. "L is the great-grandson of First Ketchum. He helped us defeat Team Ultra and many other enemies."
Yavia's eyes gleamed with interest. "Ah, I've heard of you from Crycelia. I want to test you, L. Since you have married Lisa, I must see if you are worthy of her."
Before she could say another word, everyone suddenly stopped her.
Yavia raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
Oakad took a deep breath. "L is… the True God. The prophecy of King Goddrex has come true."
For the first time in centuries, Yavia was speechless.
She turned back to L and looked deep into his golden-brown eyes.
At that moment, she realized the truth.
Her lips curled into a knowing smile. "Yes. L is worthy of Lisa… No." She corrected herself. "Lisa is worthy of L."

A Joyful Reunion
The tension instantly broke, and everyone burst into laughter.
Lyra smirked mischievously. "Now even our great-grandmother is teasing Lisa!"
Lisa, completely red-faced, chased Lyra around while everyone laughed and celebrated.
With Yavia and Crycelia joining them, the preparations for the grand welcome party continued.
As the sun began to set, Lisa quietly walked up to L.
She gently took his hand and looked at the reunited family before them.
"This… is beautiful," she whispered.
L gave a soft smile. "Yes. It is."
And together, they stood—watching their family reunite once more.
