Back to the present day...

Sarah raced around the Command Center, answering calls and making sure that Beyond was ready to intercept the incoming, invading fleet. The Cerian force made its way towards Dargan, walking over most of the defences Sarah had in place.

An anti-aircraft artillery on a moon, orbiting Dargan, took several of the ships, leaving their remains to drift into the abyss. The rest continued on their way to Dargan. Four ships broke off from the fleet to engage and hold off Beyond's forces.

Several hundreds of aircrafts, exited out of them engaging with thousands of enemy fighter jets, exiting their own. The ships on the way to Dargan descended towards a plains outside of Dargan's largest city, Krojun.

Beyond's forces totalling 10 million androids, soldiers and siegemech stationed themselves outside and around the city. Fortunately, it had been evacuated. Sarah had predicted the fleet was aiming for it since it was near Haylon's capital castle and had the biggest versillium mining site.

The five children of Atlas hopped out of their descending spaceships less than a kilometre from the gates of Krojun. Their armies followed suit in hordes, as the doors of the ship dropped down vertically, creating a pathway for them to walk down on.

Multiple missiles breached the sky sailing towards the ships, however, they shattered into pieces less than a meter from hitting their targets. Lighting up the force fields surrounding the ships, as they absorbed the force.

"Sohzyn, don't you think this is overkill? I don't think they're prepared to properly receive us, although they look ready for battle." The princess with blonde hair and a pale skin tone, spoke up.

All of the children of Atlas wore an armored bodysuit, in a sleek black and purple contrast, except for Sohzyn who wore a contrast of black and red. He stayed quiet, eyes settled on Tobi, standing in front of the stationed Nova division.

A prince to her left, with jet-black hair and a darker skin tone, laughed. "I can take them all out, myself. Zamira, sit back if you're worried."

Another princess beside Sohzyn, with ice blue hair, spoke up, after observing the situation. "Atlas sent us five for a reason, we can't underestimate them."

Her sister beside her had long brown hair and a malicious look on her face. She licked her lips and started biting a nail while looking at Nur. "Whatever, Nanaly. They're so weak. Ghalgiel, you better not kill the girl with brown skin. I want her as my pet, she's so cute."

Her brother looked at her in disgust. "What could you possibly want with these fragile creatures, Sharna? I'm pretty sure they're the ones that killed our siblings and there are billions of them anyway, on the blue planet close to us." He said, looking towards the sky.

Sohzyn finally spoke up, tired of hearing them quibble. "Enough, we'll proceed with killing all those who are a threat to us, then you may do as you please-"

Just then, a bright flash of light appeared hundreds of meters above them and cracked up the sky. Everyone in the vicinity, covered their eyes, blinded by the sudden flash, as two figures appeared out of the light.

One floating on a platform, overlooking both armies and the other racing up into the sky. The figure fired dozens of large beams out of their hands and into space. Seconds later, the majority of the enemy spaceships fighting Beyond's forces in space, all combusted into massive balls of fire, as the beams made their mark.

The figure then jetted back down into the parked enemy spaceships. Causing a large quake and sending an immense shockwave under a kilometre wide. Destroying the majority of their ships as some sunk into rupturing crevices. Thousands screamed, and yelled out, as they got themselves back on their feet, then retreated from the sinking ships and unidentified person.

The young girl had glowing silver hair and purple veins flowing while glowing ominously like lava, all around her body. Electricity crackled around her, as rocks and rubble started to rise, with the ground razed around her in rings of fire.

"Who are you!" Sharna and Zamira called out in unison.

The girl smirked, chuckling to herself, then got serious almost instantly, before she spoke up. "My name is Kiala and I'm here to eliminate you all. Friendly warning, I'm not in the best mood right now."

The World watched through Sarah's World, nearly crashing her site as she had helpers install more servers as quickly as they could. She had also updated Tobi and the others on the situation. Leaving them with orders to stay on standby and watch the situation.

The children of Atlas could feel an insane amount of energy emitting out of the girl and instinctively braced themselves knowing she was their greatest threat at the current moment.

Ghalgiel charged at Kiala, sword raised in the air and reinforced with millions of volts, as he struck down diagonally. She smiled and raised her hand as clay gloves manifested together over them. Making it easier for her to catch the blade and hold it still. While she placed the other palm up over his chest and blasted a gaping hole. All too quick for him to react to.

His body crumpled to the floor lifeless, with no core. Her audience was in shock. Sharna and Zamira fired barrages of lava and fire at her, screaming at the top of their lungs.

Kiala sighed as she raised a wall of lava all around her, shielding her from their attack, while they rushed her, seeing the opening. However, the walls dropped and Kiala stood there with spheres of lava rotating at sonic speed, hovering in front of her palms. Then, quickly launched them at the two sisters. However, just before impact, Sohzyn froze the spheres in midair, letting them shatter as his sisters crashed through them.

They noticed his support and didn't hesitate to continue. With their sword and axe out, they leaped up and swung dozens of arcs of lava and fire at Kiala.

Kiala raised both of her hands, freezing and shooting some of them down, then leaped up towards Zamira with lightning speed. Delivering a magma-fueled punch into her gut, upward, to send her hurdling through the sky and burning up, before she crossed the atmosphere.

Sharna tried cutting Kiala in two, trying to make use of the advantage, her sister gave her. However, Kiala was too fast for her, cleaving her in two, before her axe could drop back down. Sharna's body fell back down to the ground, as Kiala sheathed her sword and looked down on Sohzyn and Nanaly. They glared back at her.

"She wiped out our fleet and killed our siblings. She needs to die." Nanaly said, gritting her teeth with rage. Sohzyn watched the entire situation with interest.

Kiala dropped one hand down towards them, simultaneously as thousands of fireballs manifested around her. She then prepared another concentrated sphere of electric lava, hovering in front of her hands and glowing bright orange.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Then smiled, letting loose the hordes of fireballs, each homing in and blowing up all of the remaining, hiding enemy soldiers, as their screams echoed across the land. "Erupt: Planetary Core." She said, as the sphere, ripped across the sky between them, with unnatural speed, bearing down on the pair, in less than a second.

Instinctively, Sohzyn leaped back in time, but Nanaly was only able to put her hands up halfway to shield her face, as the sphere touched down and completely reduced her, along with the ground around her to ashes. Leaving a cindering, large hole, hundreds of meters into the planet.

Kiala descended down to face Sohzyn, realizing he was going to be a bit difficult to deal with. "Now it's your turn."

The tension, between them, could have knocked out an average human being. However, Sohzyn took the initiative and closed the distance first, striking down with his sword, faster than the eye could see.

Kiala parried it, sending shockwaves across the field. Then, both continued to exchange strikes, to gauge each other and find an opening. However, Sohzyn found it first, feinting a strike, then kicked Kiala high up into the sky and tried to follow up by knocking her back down, with his hands crossed.

However, she jetted herself out of trajectory at the last moment, thrusting flames out of her right palm, then raised it towards him. "Erupt: Magma Roar." She said as she pulled together lava from below and wrapped it around a sphere of fire, then condensed it down before she released it.

Instinctively he raised his hands in front of him, thinking of a counter. "Shock Avalanche!" An enormous amount of ice and electricity poured out of his hands and collided with Kiala's attack, then dissipated into a massive cloud of vapour.

Kiala broke through the fog while morphing leftover magma into brass knuckles to punch him, however, he sensed her and blocked it with both of his hands up.

The magma seared into his arms. He looked at her grimacing from the pain, then smiled, as their eyes locked. "Let's get serious, shall we?"

Cobalt-blue veins coursed throughout the surface of his body. Exploding newfound power within him and around him, sending Kiala flying back. She recovered quickly in midair, glaring at him.

Sparks of electricity, stung her as the temperature around them dropped rapidly. Pillars of lava erupted into the sky, forming spinning rings around her, before she hurled them at him, trying to slice him in half. Yet, he deflected or froze them with ease, letting off a couple of swings with his sword.

She sighed, then raised one hand to the sky, as dark clouds gathered, generating multiple lightning strikes by the second all across the land. Forcing Tobi and the Nova's, to generate windowed stone domes, to protect themselves and some of their soldiers who remained nearby.

Kiala grimaced, as she pulled energy from all around her, then looked up at him, with her eyes glowing brighter. "Static: Robbi's Strike!" She yelled as she unsheathed her sword at lightning speed, reinforcing herself prior, with clay and electricity. At the same time, the largest lightning strike, the Novas had ever seen struck down towards the blade, as she appeared to bat it, on the edge of her sword towards the prince.

Sohzyn had already, begun preparations, sensing something big incoming. He gathered enough energy to counter it, raising both of his hands to his sides. "Dome Creation, Haldwyn's Defense!" He yelled out, manifesting a massive intricately detailed dome of ice over ten meters thick and wide, surging with millions of volts.

The resulting collision exploded an incredible amount of steam and vapour, leaving the dome, cracking apart. Kiala squinted and peeked through the cracks, as they got bigger, revealing Sohzyn precariously charging up a massive ball, of blue crackling electricity, rotating at a frightening speed within a pressurized, condensed sphere of ice. "Zakeyr!"

The sphere shattered outwards, into an electric beam a few times the size of him, racing towards Kiala. Who already took flight away from the beam and the direction of the Novas & Beyond's army.

Sohzyn persisted and dragged the beam after her, erasing several mountains in the distance. She zig-zagged across the land leaving a trail of clouds, as she reached breakneck speeds to escape the trailing beam.

Then, Kiala dropped down behind a mountain as the beam ended there, erupting a deafening, crumbling explosion all around the mountain, and awakening the dormant volcano within. She dropped the temperature around her within a small bubble, protecting herself from the heat.

Ash and smoke filled the sky, blocking out the Sun, as Sohzyn appeared in a blur, floating a little above her. "You're stronger than I thought." He smiled, getting excited to be able to go all out.

Drones of telemonitors kept up with them, from a distance, as people around the world and on Sonara watched anxiously at the edge of their seats. The Novas debated whether to jump in, surprised that the girl had held on for this long.

Kiala glared back at him. 'I'm using a lot more energy than I thought I would,' she thought to herself, as she noticed some side effects creeping up on her. She knew that she was beginning to reach her limit.

Sohzyn looked her over, noticing her trying to catch her breath. "When Alcra reached out to me, I planned on refusing, but when I heard Coljun was killed here. I was shocked... However, looking at you and the power coming from some of those humans over there, I'm no longer surprised-" He paused to dodge several fireballs, Kiala launched trying to catch him off guard. "Regardless you don't seem to be one of them, do you really think you can defeat me all by yourself?"

Kiala smirked, chuckling to herself. "I grew up training to kill you guys. The first time I took out one of y'all, I was 9. You may just be the toughest I've faced, but you'll just be another checkmark on my list, after this."

He laughed out loud, then rushed her at her at a frightening speed. Both of them threw fists and kicks violently at each other, before breaking apart some distance to catch their breath.

Kiala's breathing had started to become more ragged. Her arms were swelling, from protecting herself, with bruises on the surface of her body. Healing them over with light frost in areas that needed it, as the silver glow in her hair, began to flicker.

Sohzyn grinned. "You're out of breath. I'm going to absorb you, then gain even more strength, with the beings in this solar system. I'm so grateful, for my other siblings, passing on this opportunity! Soon I'll be the first in line!"

Kiala smirked, breaking out into a laugh. "Aww, cute dream, but let's be real. This is as far as you go." She said, before turning around and jetting towards the sky.

He looked up at her running away. "You can't escape." Millions of white electric spheres, pressurized in ice, manifested all around him, nearly covering half a kilometre of land. "Volt Storm!"

The volleys, one by one launched into the sky after her. Forcing her to turn around and watch for them, without stopping her escape into the sky. She pointed one palm down towards the barrage of volleys gunning for her. Sohzyn smirked knowing she was done for, as he crossed his arms and maintained his focus.

Kiala grimaced, as the last bits of her energy poured out of her, summoning her attack. "I've been waiting for this moment." She said to herself.

Throughout the entire fight, she had been pouring bits of energy to summon her ace. Breaking it apart and changing its trajectory to make sure it reached her intended target.

"Gravitate: Excalibur!" She yelled as a sword-shaped meteor pierced the dark clouds above them, bellowing thunder. Then cleared the clouds apart, as it passed through.

Burning in a fiery inferno and heading straight down for Sohzyn's attack. It was nearly half of the size of Toronto, crackling with billions of volts.

The collision resulted in a deafening explosion, as the spheres ate away at the meteor and tried to stop it. However, it continued, through the cloud of electric and ice explosions, unopposed & descending downwards towards him.

The prince lost his composure, as he looked up at certain death. Giving up nearly his entire lifespan to protect himself, he yelled out in a last attempt to save his life. "Great Fortress of Haldwyn!"

A massive hollow fortress made out of ice seemingly manifested together, protecting him. With a roof shaped into a cannon pointing up at the incoming meteorite.

He then raised his palms, pointing them at the giant hole, through the roof. While black electricity crackled all around him racing in-between his palms and forming a large dark sphere of energy. His cobalt veins glowed even brighter.

The ground around him began to break up, and rippled cracks. "Zakeyr Nero!" He yelled, as the sphere shattered forward, surging out a massive beam of energy, and amplified even further through the cannon.

The beam raced towards the homing asteroid and collided with it. Pushing it back as it sent shockwaves, resounding throughout the land. Smaller pieces broke off from the meteor and showered the land with burning debris.

Kiala gritted her teeth, she could feel the asteroid being pushed back. However, she refused to give up. Forcing the last drops out of her, she yelled out at the top of her lungs. "Die you monster!"

The meteor pressed forward, beginning to split the beam apart, as more debris, broke off of it. Yet it still maintained its form.

Sohzyn had started sweating due to the heat. "You can't kill me! I am the 71st in line. I will be the strongest! I will-"

He was cut off as the meteor struck the fortress, melting it through with ease and instantly reached the prince. Leaving an impact slowing down Dargan's orbit.
