Third person POV
And so, the curse of the Chuchilla Ghost Pirates was over, and the fog disappeared, putting the chaos and nightmare to an end. Though, it left Kate-Raler with a sizable amount of damage to the capital city. But still, it was a win for Russell and everyone else. And so, a bit later, Josué and some of his palace guards came to the beach, meeting up with the bus driver from Southern Plains and his friends, who were okay and barely had a scratch on themselves after that ordeal. Jean-Max and Janet are with the ruler and his guards.
"Are you all okay?" Josué asked.
Russell and the others then looked at them.
"Oh, yes, we are."
"Why?"
And then, Gerald noticed Josué's presence and ran towards him and the others. "Your Highness!"
This catches the attention of the others in the area.
"Your Highness?" Kelly asked.
"Is that guy the leader of this country or something?" Russell added.
"Oh! Yes, this is Josué Tao," Cassius explained in response, "he is the current king of this country. He is of the Tao Dynasty, a royal dynasty that had been ruling this archipelago for generations now."
Now Russell and the others have got it, except for Adrian, Cassius, Aren, and Frannie, who have already known it for a long time now.
Meanwhile, Gerald explained to Josué about how he had vanquished Blackmarrow and his ghostly pirate crew with his Storm ability. Josué was pretty impressed by how he had done that, and Russell and some in his group came forward and shared their own part in the battle against the Chuchilla Ghost Pirates. Hearing all that, Gerald and Josué were impressed and were grateful for their help.
"Yes, you're welcome, Your Highness," Russell happily replied while readjusting his bus driver's cap.
"You're welcome, my good sir!" Ria added happily.
Rai nodded to say yes, too.
"Also, you're Russell May, right?" Josué asked the bus driver.
"Yes, I am," Russell replied, "why?"
"You're that Bus Driver Hero, right?"
"Oh, yes, people gave that moniker to me for my valiant services as a fighter for them in addition to providing transportation for them."
"Your Highness," Gerald said to Josué, "this is him. He was an Otherworlder like me and was from the Southern Plains."
