Sanzang and the man with a hammer continued clashing, kicks of energy and blows of thunder being exchanged. “You're good with martial arts, but in terms of brute strength you are an ant to me” He said, before hitting him with a thunder infused strike. Sanzang went flying, and grabbed on a window. “Thor, right? The hammer that seems like Mjolnir and lightning fit. Why are you fighting me?” Sanzang questioned. The boy answered, “You were being reckless, you would have gotten someone hurt.”. “You wanna see recklessness?” Sanzang yelled, dropping down. Sanzang dashed in front of the boy, with his fist being coated in Divine Soul and Golden Wind. The boy tried blocking with his hammer, but it was too late. Sanzang hit the hammer, causing a clash of thunder and wind. A miniature storm formed, and destroyed the surrounding area. “That’s me being reckless. Now what’s your name.” He asked the stranger. The boy's hammer was broken, back into the form of a normal hammer. He stood up and introduced himself. “My name is Jackson. Nova of thunder.”. Back at the mansion, Ethan was still deflecting blasts with his staff. “WHAT THE HELL DID I DO?”. Kenji yelled back “I’M TESTING OUT THE ARMOR!” and transformed his hand back into a fist, but the fist was bigger. The mech suit punched Ethan, sending him through five walls. “Ouch, what is that thing made of?” Ethan asked. The Atlas Armor walked up to him, looking at its hand. “Titanium, Iron, and a new type of metal I found when I sent an android into Greece.”. Ethan got up and positioned his staff in front of him. “Extend!”. At his command, the staff grew in length at rapid speeds, ramming into the mech and sending him back through the walls. “Expand!”. The staff grew to the width of a boulder. Ethan started to push it into the Atlas Armor, while Kenji struggled to push back. Suddenly, out of his elbows, repulsors are activated, making the push back stronger. As Ethan saw that, he quickly ordered the staff. “Contract and shrink! Now!”, and the staff shrunk. “Interesting…how can your staff do that?” Kenji questioned. “Power of Gods, it’s that easy to explain.” Ethan answered. “Gods aren’t real. Science controls nature.” Kenji told him, laughing while doing so. “Dude so when there’s proof of gods, you're still gonna ignore it?” Ethan questioned, looking visibly confused, but then the mech appeared right in front of him, cannon point blank, but before he could use it, Tabia and Thea walked into the basement. “Kenji get out of the armor! He is our guest.”. She turned to Thea and said “Sorry he’s adopted, don’t mind him.”. Thea rolled her eyes, and replied “Well yeah two black kids and an asian kid I didn’t know. I’d like to apologize for Ethan and Sanzang too.”. Just as they said that Sanzang and Jackson walked down into the basement. “Hey sis! Wait…Kenji, how is the armor doing?” Jackson asked. “It’s holding up well. I almost won if she didn’t INTERRUPT.” Kenji replied. The three started arguing, as Thea Sanzang and Ethan talked about their experiences. They walked back out and went to pick up dinner. “Dude Jackson is strong! That thunder hurt.” He commented. “I noticed you were able to imbue your martial arts with Divine Soul, how’d you do that?” Ethan asked, with a serious look on his face. “I just focused my Soul energy into my legs and hands. And Hanuman’s abilities followed. Hey look at me, I’m getting better at this!” Sanzang chuckled. Ethan still had a serious look on his face, contemplating something. Thea noticed this but chose not to ask. She directed them to a fast food restaurant, and they picked something up. “we should eat at the river! It’ll be nice!” Thea exclaimed. Ethan and Sanzang were confused, because they’ve never seen her this happy. As they sat down by the river, and opened their lunch, a giant serpent emerged from the river, and stared at them. “So the rumors are true. You are back.”
