The children of Atlas floated above the city, watching citizens rushing to safety and screaming. They debated heading over to where they sent the rest of their ships, as they heard chatter about them being attacked, since these siblings never did anything apart.
"Seryn... I had hoped they would at least be a bit more entertaining, but this is just sad." The prince said.
Seryn looked at her brother, then back down below, as electricity crackled around her, keeping her afloat. "Be patient, Jeraton. The research indicated that this country is the underlying superpower of this world. They should be the ones that killed our brothers, if not we'll head to the other two big ones-"
She was cut off as a flaming, frozen boulder, covered in electricity sailed at them from above. It crashed into the siblings, sending them flying down to the ground in an open field, exploding shards of ice everywhere as they landed. The broadcast around the world flipped on, showing the Novas racing into battle and landing near the crash site.
Simon, Koji, Norah, Ranesa, and Kayed were all dressed in updated blue and white striped battle suits. A home kit Sarah made for them.
The siblings got up out of the rubble of ice as the smoke cleared. "Who dares to attack us!" Jeraton called out.
Simon stepped forward. "My name is Simon, and we are here with the Beyond Space Force, Nova Division, ordering you to halt your invasion or we will use force."
The siblings laughed out loud. "Are you the ones responsible for killing our brothers?" Seryn asked.
Koji stepped up and spoke. "No, but we can help you meet them."
Jeraton raised one hand, pointing it at them, and kept the other hand on his lance. "Let's see about that." As he spoke, multiple compressed fireballs, rapidly manifested and shot out of his hands.
Ranesa and Kayed placed their hands on the ground, creating ice and dirt walls all around them, blocking the barrage, as Simon, Koji, and Norah flanked. She shot electric volleys at Seryn, while Simon and Koji went for Jeraton.
Seryn laughed as she set them off in the air, with an electric whip. Then struck for Norah, who hopped to avoid the whip, aiming for her legs. Frustrated Seryn drew her short sword out from her left hip, welcoming Norah's charge.
Electricity sparked around them hazardously, as both of their swords collided. At the same time, Simon and Koji commenced a dual strike assault on Jeraton, who with a little bit of difficulty parried both of their deadly strikes with his spear.
He jumped up higher than the both of them and blew down flames straight from his mouth. However, without hesitation, Simon formed a flame barrier to protect him and Koji, while Koji jumped through the flames clad in electricity, once Jeraton's had cleared. Boosting himself high above Jeraton and calling lightning to reinforce him, as he struck down.
Jeraton flew up towards him and blocked it with equal impact burning more intense flames and sending Koji crashing back down into the ground far off. Then yelled out to the both of them, as Simon wondered if Koji was okay. "I am the 121st Prince, Jeraton! You trash, must know your place, and surrender now or else." He raised his hands above his head, as a massive fireball formed above it.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
"Miniature Star." He called out, then sent it down towards them anyway.
Ranesa ran forward and placed her hands facing the attack. "Frost: Bite!" she yelled, as a blast of ice and slush raced forward intercepting the flaming sphere. Resulting in a large mist explosion, and pushed them back, with incredibly hot winds.
Simon leaped up while covering his eyes from the steam. Burning more fire from his heels to quickly reach Jeraton.
Who without hesitation, raced towards him spear first.
Simon dodged at the last second, and took the gamble, launching a flaming ball into Jeraton's gut. Engulfing him in a cloud of flames midair.
Simon jumped back, descending slowly, and panting, as he felt his body beginning to overheat. However, he was astounded, seeing the smoke clear and Jeraton unscathed. Then the prince leaped at Simon striking down with his entire might, reinforcing flames at the tip, to press his spear forward. Simon raised his daggers, blocking it, but was sent crashing down just like Koji.
Jeraton looked at Ranesa. "It seems, I may have to kill you first since you can directly counter my abilities."
Ranesa glared at him but stood her ground. "Let's see you try." She said, covering herself in an armour of ice, as Jeraton rushed at her. Then made a platform of ice and flew away, unhooking her bow.
As he got closer, multiple arrows of ice slowed him down, with some denting him, and cutting up his skin. He blocked as many as he could, spinning his spear around, and chased her.
Suddenly he was forced to stop in his tracks, as Koji appeared like lightning, striking his spear. The Nova increased his speed, moving even faster than before, striking and overwhelming Jeraton, as Ranesa, shot arrows into his back.
Koji could feel a few bruises and several broken bones, but he grunted through the pain, trying to find an opening and end this once and for all. In his peripheral, Simon pulled up from behind him with one more flaming sphere hovering above his hands.
Jeraton noticed him as well and took a chance to explode a flame barrier emanating from him, sending his assailants flying back. He then rushed at Koji, who had yet to recover and was covering his eyes from the heat, then kicked him down with an explosive kick. Crashing the Nova down, creating a small crater, as he laid unconscious.
Jeraton then turned his attention towards Simon, who braced himself, as Ranesa, bothered him, with several more arrows, disrupting his thoughts and abilities. He opted to throw his spear at Simon, distracting him, as Simon redirected it with his dagger, then swung the other, while Jeraton dropped in close, dodging his swing, and pressed a condensed ball of fire into his guts.
Blasting him out of the sky, and returning the favor. He then turned his attention to the annoying girl, still peltering him, with arrows, and now, even larger ones, lodging into his body. He was beginning to get angry, but he knew he wouldn't be able to catch her and she'd eventually wear him down.
"You're going to keep running aren't you." He asked, calmly, finally thinking of a plan. Then looked over at Kayed, who was busy supporting Norah against Seryn.
"What would you do, if I tried to kill one of them?" He asked, nodding towards the Novas.
Her eyes grew wide. None of them would see it coming.
She watched as Jeraton recalled and heated his spear, then chucked it with incredible speed at Kayed. She had already begun dashing towards him, through the sky while calling out to him to warn him, however, he was too far away. Leaving her no choice.
Kayed looked back, feeling a cold breeze behind him, as Ranesa created a massive wall of ice blocking the incoming spear.
The only problem was, Jeraton had just dropped down behind her, plunging his flaming hand flat through her back and out of her chest. Then stepped back, pulling his hand out quickly, leaving her standing and whipped off the blood.
Ranesa looked back at Kayed and smiled. With the last of her breath, she uttered. "It's ok..." Then her lifeless body fell to the floor.
At the Prisoner's Quarters at Beyond HQ...
Sarah stood in front of Kalista's cell, staring at her as she glared back. Then after a brief moment, she spoke up. "Earth is being invaded. Tobi and Osei aren't here. The Novas are engaging the children of Atlas as we speak, but they won't stand a chance without your help." She unlocked Kalista's cell. "I'm pretty sure you don't want them to die."
Kalista got up, silently and walked out. Then looked back at her, with an angry expression. "Just give me a weapon."
