In June 1993, Arthur and Aric married two sisters. Arthur married Aanya Sharma, while Aric married Ishita Sharma. After their marriages, both women became members of the Valor Family and were known as Aanya Valor and Ishita Valor.
Then, in June 1995, something happened that brought new hope to the Valor Family.
After generations of waiting for the Valortrix to choose a worthy successor, Arthur and Aanya welcomed a daughter into the world.
Her name was Emma Valor.
The birth of Emma filled the entire Valor Family with joy. Everyone celebrated, danced, and rejoiced because, after so many generations without a chosen heir, they finally had a new member who might one day receive the Valortrix's approval.
Emma had inherited the powers of a Luminara user.
This was another miracle for the Valor Family. The Luminara powers that Queen Sunaina had hidden away centuries ago had finally appeared again within the Valor bloodline.
The family believed that when Emma turned ten, she might also be chosen by the Valortrix, just as previous heirs of the Valor Family had been.
By the age of three, Emma had already awakened her Luminara powers. From that moment onward, her grandmother, Elizabeth, took responsibility for guiding her and teaching her how to control her newfound abilities.
Several years later, Ishita became pregnant.
This brought even more happiness to the Valor Family. Since Emma had inherited the powers of the Luminara, the family hoped that Ishita's child might also be born with a miraculous gift.
Their hopes were soon fulfilled.
In May 1999, Ishita gave birth to a son.
The moment the boy entered the world, something extraordinary happened.
The Valortrix, which had been kept safely inside the Guardian headquarters, had remained dormant for years ever since King Sharky IV had passed away.
Suddenly, the ancient device activated.
In an instant, the ancient device flew out of the Guardian headquarters and raced toward the place where the newborn had been born.
The Valortrix wrapped itself around the baby's wrist, choosing him as the next heir of the Valortrix and, by extension, the future leader of the Guardians.
For a moment, the entire Valor Family stood frozen in shock. Then their disbelief turned into overwhelming joy, and celebrations erupted throughout the room.
"You don't know how proud you've made your father. My dear Sharky Valor," Aric said as he gently picked up his newborn son.
He looked down at his son with a gentle and tender gaze, holding him carefully against his chest.
"Yes. From this day onward, it is your destiny to become the leader of the Guardians. Just like your ancestors, you will accomplish something extraordinary. I am so proud of you, my grandson, Sharky," Jason said as he gently took Sharky from Aric's arms.
Jason then turned toward his son, Aric.
"And I am also proud of you. Although you are an ordinary human who never inherited the extraordinary powers of the Valor bloodline, you have given our family something we have been waiting generations to see—the chosen heir of the Valortrix."
Jason was proud of both of his sons, Arthur and Aric, because they had given the Valor Family two miracles: Emma, a Luminara user, and Sharky, the chosen successor of the Valortrix.
But their happiness would not last.
While Aric and Ishita were traveling to a newly discovered planet to bring it under the Guardians' protection, a savage alien beast suddenly appeared and crashed into their spacecraft, causing a devastating accident.
The crash claimed the lives of both Aric and Ishita, while the savage alien beast was also killed in the collision.
It was an extremely painful moment for the entire Valor Family, especially because Sharky Valor was still only a newborn.
The Valor Family tried to remain strong and control their grief. They knew that they now had another responsibility—to protect Sharky and ensure that he could grow up safely despite becoming an orphan.
As Sharky grew older, the Valor Family chose not to burden him with the details of his parents' deaths, allowing him to grow up surrounded by love rather than grief.

By the time Sharky was five years old, he had already learned to activate many alien powers, gaining access to their incredible abilities.
However, Sharky was different from his predecessors. While the previous Valortrix users had kept their powers hidden and avoided getting involved in Earth's problems, Sharky openly displayed his abilities. He would beat up any bullies he encountered and use his powers to save anyone who needed his help.
Perhaps the difference came from the fact that previous Valortrix users had received the device only after they were old enough to understand the responsibility that came with its power. Sharky, however, had been chosen by the Valortrix from the very day he was born and had grown up with those abilities as a natural part of his life.
But no matter how many times Sharky displayed his powers, the Guardians always arrived after he left, erasing any evidence that supernatural abilities had been used.
"Baby, I've warned you not to use your powers in front of people. Why do you always ignore what I tell you?" Aanya scolded Sharky as she twisted his ear.
"I'm sorry, Momma! I won't do it again. Pinky promise! Please let go of my ear. It hurts! It hurts!" Sharky pleaded for forgiveness.
"From now on, your sister will go with you wherever you go. Otherwise, you'll just ignore what I tell you again," Aanya ordered.
Just then, a beautiful girl appeared beside them.
"Of course, Mom. I'll take care of him," Emma said, agreeing with Aanya.
"No, Momma! Please don't send my sister with me!" Sharky pleaded, his eyes filling with tears. This time, he was genuinely crying.
In the entire Valor Family, Sharky feared only his sister, Emma.
His grandparents loved him dearly, and even Arthur, whom Sharky believed was his father, could rarely bring himself to punish him severely. Aanya, who often took responsibility for looking after him, was usually the one who scolded him and twisted his ears whenever he misbehaved.
But when it came to his sister, things were different.
Although Sharky loved Emma and enjoyed spending time with her, he also feared her and always followed her commands.
If Emma said that day was night, Sharky would agree. If she said orange was mango, he would agree with that too.
"Why, Sharky? You don't want me to come with you? I'll play with you and take care of you," Emma asked with a laugh as she looked at him, waiting for his answer.
"Of course I want you to come, Sister! I love playing with you!" Sharky quickly nodded without hesitation.
And just like that, Emma became Sharky's personal Guardian.

Five years passed, and Sharky was now ten years old. Although he had grown older, his naughtiness had not diminished. However, his pranks and jokes were always harmless and never caused anyone any real trouble.
He had also started fighting villains and saving people whenever he encountered those in need.
Meanwhile, Emma had begun to grow from a cute little girl into a beautiful young girl. However, her obsession with Sharky had not diminished. Instead, it continued to grow stronger with each passing day.
Emma no longer merely stopped Sharky from doing dangerous things. She also prevented him from getting involved in anything she considered bad or inappropriate.
Even the food Sharky ate had to be personally approved by Emma. She would even bathe him herself and take care of his personal belongings. Even his hairstyle was chosen by Emma.
Sharky sometimes felt that Emma was controlling every aspect of his life, and he wanted to speak up about it. However, he never found the courage to voice his complaints.
Slowly but surely, he began to accept it.
He eventually realized that Emma wasn't trying to control him out of malice. She genuinely wanted to protect him and prevent him from getting involved in anything dangerous or harmful.
As for his hairstyle... well, he simply gave up on that argument. Emma loved treating him like a doll and styling his hair however she liked, so Sharky eventually accepted it.

As time passed, Sharky became involved in many new and unexpected events. His life was becoming increasingly unusual, with strange encounters and mysterious incidents appearing one after another.
However, this particular incident was different. It was not just Sharky who was amazed by what happened—the entire Valor Family was left astonished.
It all began when a man named Dio suddenly appeared before them. He possessed the power to manipulate time and had entered the Universe searching for someone named Kevin Tormun.
"Who is this Kevin Tormun? And why did this guy come all the way here looking for him?" Sharky wondered, watching the strange man with curiosity.
But before Dio could continue his search, another man suddenly appeared. He was wearing a white lab coat and looked like a scientist who had been working in a laboratory.
"Dio, you have chosen the wrong Universe to enter. In this Universe, Kevin Tormun doesn't exist. Not even the Tormun Family exists here," the man in the white lab coat said.
"How is this possible?" Dio asked, looking slightly panicked.
"Because the Multiverse is far more complicated than you can imagine. You entered a Universe where the person you're searching for never existed. Now, it's time for you to return to your own timeline," the man in the white lab coat replied.
He then raised his hand and released several rays of energy.
The rays struck Dio, causing him to disappear from the area.
"At least for now, the problem has been solved," the man in the white lab coat murmured.
He opened a portal behind himself and prepared to leave.
However, before he could step through it, the Guardians suddenly appeared and surrounded him.
"Who are you? Tell me why you came to Earth. And who was that other man?" Jason demanded, firing questions at the mysterious scientist one after another.
"Keep calm. Keep calm," the man in the white lab coat said. "I'll answer some of your questions."
"First, my name is Professor Timex," he revealed. "I travel through time and space, going wherever I detect a threat to the timeline, so I can stop it before it grows powerful enough to destroy a Universe."
Jason nodded, but he continued watching the man cautiously. At the same time, he glanced at his Guardian Badge, waiting for more information.
A moment later, Jason's Guardian Badge displayed the information it had gathered.
"Leader, this man is Dr. Elwyn J. Timex. He was working under King Sharky IV on an experiment involving time travel. However, an accident occurred during the experiment, and he disappeared."
Jason looked back at Professor Timex.
"So, Mr. Timex, you're saying that you saved the timeline. But why should I believe you?" Jason asked, looking at him with interest.
"It's quite simple. Just come with me," Professor Timex replied as he extended his hand toward Jason.
"Dear, don't go with him. I don't know if it's safe," Elizabeth warned Jason.
As she spoke, her body transformed into a purple-colored energy being—the strongest form of a Luminara user.
"It's okay. I'll trust him," Jason replied.
Jason didn't know why, but his instincts told him that Professor Timex wasn't hostile. Something about the scientist made him believe that he could be trusted.
Professor Timex opened a portal and gestured for Jason to follow him.
After a brief hesitation, Jason stepped through the portal.
However, neither of them realized that someone else had secretly followed them.
A small figure had gained the power of a reptilian species, allowing him to remain hidden even from special forms of vision.
That little figure was none other than Sharky Valor.
While Professor Timex showed Jason various Universes and explained the differences between them, Sharky secretly watched everything and was equally amazed by what he saw.
He was especially shocked to discover that, just like his Valortrix, similar devices existed in other Universes.
However, each Universe had its own families and its own versions of these powerful devices.
Among the alternate realities, Jason discovered Tennyson Families whose champion, Steven Tennyson, wielded the Tennytrix; Elevenson Families, whose Alex Elevenson wielded the Elematrix; and Silver Families, whose Henry Silver wielded the Silvitrix.
In another reality, the Valor Family itself existed, with Sharky Valor wielding the Valortrix.
These individuals served roles similar to those of Sharky Valor and his ancestors, protecting their respective Universes under different identities.
Some were completely different people, while others were alternate counterparts of the same individuals and even shared the same names.
Even the organizations protecting these realities differed in name. One Universe had the Guardian Force, another had the Saviour Force, while another had the Hero Force. Some realities even had organizations that were once again known as the Guardian Force.
Sharky was even more shocked when he discovered that countless alternate versions of himself existed across the Multiverse.
Among them were Sharky 11, Sharky 99, Sharky 100, and countless other counterparts, each originating from a different reality.
Some of them were good, while others were extremely evil.
After Jason returned to his own Universe, he explained everything he had learned about the differences between the various Universes.
For the first time in the history of the Valor Family, they learned the truth: their Universe was not alone.
Countless other Universes existed beyond their reality, forming a vast and mysterious Multiverse.
