FLASHBACK — 2 DECADES AGO
.
Two months after the death of Joey their leader, Jayden call on all the committee to discuss on who’s going to lead them.
There are only five elders in the committee as the rest have died at the war with the vampires.
I called this meeting because since Lion JOE is dead without giving us someone to lead us which has never happened before. So we are going to need someone to lead the Joeans before the next JOE arrives” Jayden said.
you know that’s not how things works, no one Is permitted to lead the Joeans except a JOE, so until the new joe comes I’d say whatever it is that needs to be done will be considered by the committee” Josette Said.

And how long do we have to wait for the new JOE huh?, 50years, 100years, we don’t even know who the person is or how he looks like” Jayden said.
Jayden, we understand what you meant, but Josette is right, no one except the JOE is permitted to lead, so until the next JOE arrive I’d us committee will decide on what needs to be done” Jeffrey said.
how about we let the Elders give us an insight?” Josette said then they turned to the elders.
Then Janka, one of the elders stood up to clear things up between them.
Jayden, what you are saying is right but it’s not done like that, only a JOE can lead us and no one else” Janka said then continue.
something like this had happened before, when the Lion JOE died without telling us who the next Lion JOE will be” Janka said.
what did you do, Janka?” Jeffrey asked.
we had to wait for the next Lion JOE to arrived” Janka said.
how do you know he’s the one?” Josette asked.
what did all the JOES have in common?” Janka asked.
they all have joe in their name, we have Joel, Joe, Joeshiro, joela, Joeby, Joey” Joyce said.
Good what else do they all have in common?” Janka asked again and they thought for a while.
they all have the same special hair, they all have dreadlocks” Josette said.
yes that’s it……but to confirm it all he needs to pass through terrigenesis then if a Lion tattoo is designed on his back then he is the one” Janka said.
you hear that, we just need to wait for the next JOE to show up, so stop this childish act” Josette said.
That’s nonsense, total nonsense, we all know someone needs to step up and take charge” Jayden said.
Someone like who if I may ask? ” Joyce asked.
I don’t know, Me of course, I’m strong and capable of leading our people” Jayden said.
you?…..we all know you to be a greedy person, someone like you can never lead” Josette said and Jayden got angry.
Don’t tempt me, Josette…….you are passing your boundary” Jayden growled.
then stay put, cause you can’t lead us, never, no one can except a JOE” Josette said.
Then you leave me no choice” Jayden said then everyone stared at him.
I Jayden Brooks, challenge you Josette Hawkins to a duel” Jayden said.
what the hell do you think you are doing?” Josette asked.
Anyone that’s going to be the leader has to be the strongest, so I challenge you” Jayden said.
I have no intention of leading us” Josette said.
then let someone else do it or we fight” Jayden said.
No one is fighting anyone, and also no one is fighting to be the leader, you know all this so stop being childish” Joyce said.
If anyone of you can defeat me then you can do as you wish but if I do win, I will lead our people until the next JOE arrives” Jayden said.
This is crazy Jayden, I’m not fighting you period” Josette said turn to face the rest.
it’s like you are not taking me seriously” he said then pull out a knife.

Joana’s POV
.
After my five years in the human realm now is the only time I getting something positive.
All my gut is telling me this new boy is the Next JOE, cause I can see everything about a JOE in him.
But perhaps I should just confirm my suspicions before I carry on with my plans.
I changed in a casual dress then put on a hood then went to the ghetto.
As I entered the ghetto some of the thugs are staring at me but seem not to mind as I keep going.
One of them came behind checking me out and tried to grope me.
