Location: The Dark Star Tower
Time: Midnight
Scene One: Shadow Summit
Amidst the towering heights of the city, the Star Tower looms, a sentinel of power and secrecy stretching a thousand meters into the sky. Within its walls resides not only the most formidable arsenal known to man, but also the clandestine stronghold of SHADOW, a malevolent force born from the ambitions of extraterrestrial conquerors known as the MUNDIS.
As our tale unfurls, we find ourselves amidst a clandestine gathering within the tower's chambers. Waldo, the enigmatic leader of SHADOW, convenes with counterparts from distant planets under the watchful eye of Lord Crimson Specter, a formidable presence amongst the MUNDIS hierarchy. Hovering in holographic form, the leaders await their master's command.
"It has been a long time since we gathered. How many years has it been?" Lord Crimson's voice reverberates with an authority forged through eons of dominance.
"Seven years, my Lord," Vox, leader of SHADOW on planet MOJO, responds humbly.
"Indeed, seven years since our last assembly," acknowledges Lord Crimson, his gaze piercing through the holographic veil.
As tension thickens, Phoenix, the formidable leader of SHADOW on planet ZOOM, broaches the purpose of their summons.
"So, Lord Crimson, why have you called upon us this time?" Phoenix's inquiry hangs heavy with anticipation.
"We face a dire need, a demand for a billion bodies from each of you," Lord Crimson declares, the urgency in his voice sending ripples of unease through the gathering.
"A billion?" Waldo's incredulity betrays his confusion.
"Yes, Waldo. Do you have an issue with this request?" Lord Crimson's tone brooks no dissent.
"No, my Lord," Waldo concedes, bowing to the authority of his superior.
As the meeting unfolds, Kiba, leader of SHADOW on planet KRON, seeks clarification.
"My Lord, what is the timeframe for this task?" Kiba's question hangs in the air, awaiting Lord Crimson's decree.
"Five years and failure is not an option," Lord Crimson states unequivocally.
With no further queries, Lord Crimson adjourns the assembly, and the leaders disperse, each burdened with the weight of their ominous directive.
As Waldo exits the chamber, the gravity of their mission weighs heavily upon him, his mind undoubtedly swirling with the implications, leaving his path uncertain in the face of looming challenges.

Scene 2: The Forge of Legacy
Amidst the digital expanse of a virtual training arena, Rema honed his skills with unwavering determination. Fireballs streaked through the air as he gracefully dodged and weaved, simultaneously engaging in combat against five mechanized opponents. His movements were fluid and precise, a testament to his dedication and prowess in the heat of battle.
As Rema pushed himself to the limit, a figure emerged in the periphery of his vision. It was his father, Waldo, observing his progress from a distance. Startled by the sudden presence of his father, Rema faltered for a moment, nearly succumbing to an incoming fireball. Yet, in a display of paternal protection, Waldo intervened with a flick of his hand, halting the fiery projectiles and freezing the mechanical adversaries in their tracks.
Turning his attention to Bulla, Rema's personal trainer and one of Waldo's top five warriors, Waldo issued instructions to deactivate the fireball machine while he handled the immobilized threats.
"How's the training, son?" Waldo inquired, his voice filled with a blend of curiosity and paternal pride.
With a bright smile, Rema responded, "I'm getting stronger, Dad. Today, I unlocked a new ability."
Intrigued, Waldo pressed further, "And what might this new ability be?"
Without hesitation, Rema retrieved a knife from his pocket and, with a determined expression, positioned himself a few paces away from his father.
"Let me show you, Dad," Rema said as he hurled the knife with all his might.
Caught off guard, Waldo couldn't help but wonder at his son's intentions. However, before he could react, something remarkable unfolded before his eyes. Time seemed to slow as Rema's movements accelerated, granting him the agility to intercept the knife before it reached its target.
Amazed by his son's newfound ability, Waldo watched in awe as Rema deftly caught the blade mid-air.
"Impressive," Waldo remarked, his voice tinged with pride and astonishment. "This is a remarkable ability, son. You must continue to master it."

Waldo then commands Rema and Bulla to spar against each other.
In the crucible of combat, Rema and Bulla clashed under his watchful gaze. From the onset, it was clear that Rema faced an uphill battle against Bulla's unparalleled agility and power. Despite his best efforts, Rema's strikes failed to find their mark, each one effortlessly evaded by Bulla as if they were mere child's play. With each passing moment, Bulla's onslaught intensified, his attacks growing swifter and more potent, leaving Rema reeling under the weight of his adversary's ferocity.
Six minutes stretched into an eternity as Bulla's relentless assault bore down upon Rema, driving him to the brink of exhaustion. With every blow, Rema's hopes of victory dwindled, replaced by a grim acceptance of his impending defeat. As he lay sprawled on the unforgiving ground, battered and broken, Rema's thoughts turned to despair, his voice a mere whisper amidst the chaos that surrounded him.
Yet, even in the face of certain death, a spark of defiance flickered within Rema's soul, a testament to his unyielding resolve. With every fiber of his being, he refused to succumb to despair, clinging to the faint hope that he might yet turn the tide of battle in his favor.
Meanwhile, Waldo observed the conflict with a mixture of pride and apprehension, his hopes resting on the shoulders of his son. With a silent gesture, he implored Bulla to unleash a devastating assault, urging him to hold nothing back.
In response, Bulla closed his eyes, a serene calm enveloping him as he tapped into the depths of his latent power. With a burst of energy, he soared into the sky, leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake, before transforming his arm into a formidable weapon aimed squarely at Rema's defenseless form.
As Bulla descended upon him with lethal intent, Rema's heart pounded with fear and anticipation, his thoughts consumed by the looming specter of death.
"Is this the end?" he mused; his gaze locked on Bulla as he closed in for what seemed like the final blow. "Am I about to be doomed?"
Yet, even as Bulla's attack drew closer, Rema refused to yield to despair, drawing upon reserves of strength he never knew he possessed.
And then, in a moment that confounded all expectations, Rema ascended to a new pinnacle of power, bathed in a radiant golden aura that emanated from his very core. With a surge of newfound strength, he halted Bulla in midair just before the inevitable collision, freezing him in a suspended moment of disbelief

Rema’s newfound power level was indeed extraordinary, granting him a significant edge in the throes of combat. It not only enabled him to endure the harsh demands of battle but also facilitated his growth and refinement of skills with each passing moment, accruing invaluable experience and mastery even amidst the most intense clashes. As a result, his abilities evolved in tandem with the strength of his opponents and the limits of his endurance, steadily enhancing his combat prowess. However, this remarkable capability carried a notable risk: the potential for Rema to lose control and succumb to a berserk state, endangering both himself and those around him.
Witnessing his son's transformation with a mix of awe and anticipation, Waldo raised his head to behold Rema enveloped in a resplendent golden aura. Impressed by the spectacle before him, Waldo levitated into the air, crossing his arms in a gesture that signaled the impending escalation of the battle.
In a blur of motion, Rema unleashed a blistering assault upon Bulla, moving with such swiftness that he seemed to blur into lightning itself. Despite Bulla's attempt to react, he was unable to block Rema's lightning-fast strike, which sent him hurtling into the sky. Before Bulla could regain his bearings, Rema had already repositioned himself behind him, poised to deliver another blow. This time, Bulla managed to raise his defenses in time to intercept the attack.
The ensuing clash was fierce, with Bulla seizing the advantage and subjecting Rema to relentless torment. Yet, with each passing moment, Rema's battle stats surged, matching Bulla’s in strength and health, while also outpacing him in speed.
As the battle raged on, Rema's newfound power reached its zenith, propelling him to a level where he stood on an equal footing with Bulla, if not surpassing him. With determination blazing in his eyes, Rema pressed forward, ready to defy the odds and emerge victorious in this ultimate test of strength and skill.

The match took a dramatic turn as Rema surged ahead of Bulla in speed, gaining the upper hand in their confrontation. With lightning-fast precision, Rema unleashed a barrage of attacks, leaving Bulla gasping for breath and struggling to keep up. It was clear that Bulla was faltering, his defenses crumbling under Rema's relentless assault.
Waldo watched in awe as his son displayed the untapped potential within him, marveling at the remarkable display of skill and determination unfolding before his eyes.
As the battle raged on, frustration began to gnaw at Bulla's resolve. Desperate to regain control, he resorted to unleashing a devastating move known as ALTRA SUKA, an ancient technique capable of absorbing and redirecting tenfold the power of an opponent's attacks. With a focused stance, Bulla activated the technique, poised to turn the tide of battle in his favor.
Undeterred by Bulla's countermeasure, Rema pressed on, launching a flurry of strikes with unwavering resolve. However, to his astonishment, his blows seemed to have no effect on Bulla, who stood unyielding before him.
Confusion clouded Rema's thoughts as he grappled with the sudden turn of events. Despite landing multiple hits just moments ago, Bulla remained unscathed, devoid of any visible defenses.
Then, in a chilling moment of realization, Rema watched as Bulla opened his eyes, triggering a devastating counterattack that unleashed the full force of Rema's previous strikes upon him, amplified tenfold. Caught off guard, Rema found himself engulfed in a whirlwind of pain and chaos, his consciousness slipping away as he succumbed to the overwhelming assault.
With Rema plummeting towards the ground, Waldo sprang into action, using his telekinetic abilities to catch his son and gently lower him to safety. As Rema lay unconscious, his golden aura fading, Waldo offered words of encouragement, acknowledging his son's valiant effort in the face of adversity.
Meanwhile, Bulla descended from the skies, a sense of satisfaction evident in his demeanor. "Today's session was truly productive, Bulla," Waldo commended from a distance, his voice tinged with pride. "You're shaping up to be an exceptional trainer for my boy."
With Rema cradled in his arms, Bulla made his way towards the exit,
