On the outskirts of Shanghai...

"Ranesa!" Kayed called out, holding back tears.

Norah heard him and jumped back after crossing swords with Seryn, making some distance. She glanced back for a moment, just to see Ranesa's still body. "Ranesa..." She stuttered.

Seryn took her chance, seeing the Nova distracted, and caught her with the whip. Then tased her with thousands of volts, as Norah resisted, cursing herself for dropping her guard, and tried to absorb the electricity instead. However, in seconds Seryn overpowered her, pouring in millions of more volts in sudden surges, and dropped Norah to the floor.

Kayed forced his attention from Ranesa to Jeraton, who was beginning to make his way toward him, then saw Norah unconscious, succumbing his mind over to fear. He raised hundreds of golems, covering and pushing Jeraton back, as some grabbed Norah and Ranesa's body, as he took off. The golems holding his comrades, took the skies as well, leaving the rest to charge the siblings.

Seryn chuckled watching Kayed attempt to flee, as some of his golems broke off, grabbing Simon and Koji. "Ha! My toys don't run! " She yelled at him, as a massive floating electric arrow, manifested above her, charged with millions of volts.

"Love's Sting," she said as she launched her arrow toward Kayed at sonic speed, hitting him square in the back, and off his flying platform. He crashed into the ground, suffering a short seizure, then fell unconscious.

Jeraton had just finished burning away most of the golems, however, the remaining crumbled on their own. The world watched in shock, as all of the Novas were taken out.

The siblings began making their way towards Kayed but were suddenly caught off by a low hovering sound, as a shuttle landed out of camouflage near the unconscious Nova. Seconds later, Kalista leaped out with medic androids following suit, rushing to the Nova's aid. She wore brand-new Nova gear and was given one of Tobi's spare swords.

"Kalista!!" She looked at Seryn, calling out to her.

"Honey I've missed you! So this is where you've been! When Zaryon borrowed you from me, I thought I would never see you again." She started tearing up, with the saddest expression.

Kalista turned her attention to the Novas sprawled across the ground, then her focus settled on Ranesa. She felt no residual energy from her, causing her mind to go blank.

The girl who had visited her cell, almost every day. Brought her new treats, and told her about her world, life, and what she could be here. Her first friend in a very long time and she had barely spoke back any words to her.

The others had visited her too, but none had made an impact on her optimistically than the way Ranesa did. Something snapped inside her. Whatever it took, whatever it needed, the children of Atlas needed to go.

Small geysers formed all around them spewing lava, then completely blasting out of the ground. Her lifespan began shaving away, as she lit, the fuse within her, cursing away at her current weakness. It hurt, but it didn't matter.

She looked back at the siblings who were wary of the downpour of lava. Veins of magma naturally marked her body, as if they had always been there. Her hair began to rise slightly, as the temperature around them drastically shot up.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

She had ascended.

Only one other thought crossed her mind at that moment, which was Sarah asking her to get them further away from the city. "I don't want to do this here... Let's go somewhere else." She asked, in a commanding tone.

Seryn frowned at her words, trying to get closer to her. "Baby what do you mean, let's get you-"

Two massive pillars of lava erupted higher than skyscrapers, and struck the pair, at faster-than-sound speed. Sending them flying out of the city and into a clearing with no civilians. Beyond's ships had already taken out all of the invading vessels and began providing relief & reconstruction, with the Chinese government.

Kalista hovered on a magma platform, above the siblings. She placed both of her hands in front of her, aiming at both of them. Massive amounts of lava burst out of the ground, burning and condensing into a floating sphere in front of her.

The siblings looked up at the incoming danger. Side by side, they raised both of their hands in front of each other synchronizing their energy, in harmony. Electricity and flames mixed, as they poured tens of thousands of years into a force to save their lives.

A sphere of condensed energy, formed in front of the both of them, burning with light blue fire and electricity. "Inferno Cataclysm." They yelled, launching the sphere to stop the incoming danger.

Both attacks collided pressing each other for a moment, then exploded, resulting in a draw. However, Kalista didn't stop there, as she raised one hand high up above her head, commanding lava to rise and pour down all around them.

"Brother watch out!" Seryn yelled as they both leaped up out of harm's way and charged at Kalista. Who in turn blocked both of their incoming strikes, then used magma to disarm their weapons.

Seryn watched her sword fly off below, with pure horror. "Aaah! My sword!" She screamed losing it.

Without hesitation, they proceeded to throw dozens of strikes and kicks, while protecting their hands and feet in their respective elements. Kalista struggled to block each one of them, leaving them with severe burns on their bodies.

Then she proceeded to draw her sword from her back and had it covered in magma, as she cut off Jeraton's arm and Seryn's leg at the same time, who mistakenly thought they had her in a bind. The two jumped back leaving some distance and watched their body parts fall into the sea of lava below.

"You wench, you'll pay for that!" Jeraton yelled clutching his arm, with newfound hatred.

"It hurts... Brother, it hurts so much." Seryn was crying, as large amounts of blood spurted out of their wounds.

"I know sister, we have to kill her," Jeraton replied.

Suddenly, her tears stopped, as a sinister and furious face took over. "Then let's get serious."

Kalista looked at them, thinking they were the weirdest duo she had ever run into, but she had to kill them. She shook her thoughts and braced herself.

Static electricity, crackled, rapidly around Seryn, before she disappeared in a blur, punching Kalista in the face, across the clearing. Her hands burned, but she bared it. Her fury, yet to be sated.

Jeraton closed in above her, as she was about to recover, then finished the combo, by striking her down with the hottest flames he could muster. She crashed into the ground below her, creating a massive crater, but quickly got back up, coughing up blood. 'Two on-one was a little much,' she thought to herself, as her transformation flickered. The siblings were ruthless.

Wasting no time, Seryn had already appeared behind Kalista, trying to catch her off guard. However Kalista quickly blocked the incoming punch, then socked her full of magma and sent her flying back. "Owww!" She screamed grabbing her face and rolling over in pain.

Jeraton appeared above her once again, trying to strike her down, however, Kalista raised one arm above her head, blocking his kick as intense flames engulfed her. She gritted her teeth through it and grabbed his leg through the fire by the shin. Burning it, then slammed him back and forth into the ground repeatedly. Then tossed him visibly injured, before Seryn punched her from the back, finally catching her off guard. The princess' face was messed up, but still reforming.

She zoomed around Kalista, continuing her flurry of strikes. Pushing her back, as she was unable to block them all. The Nova was starting to overheat and the rising headache was hindering her. Yet, she managed to return a few strikes back at Seryn, however, soon Jeraton joined in, as they both started to push her back...
