People around the world, tuned in, waiting patiently for the World Meeting to start. Sarah decided to hold the meeting in the Republic of Rennaya, to debut the new country to the world. Then, posted the time and location to her website.
She planned for meetings of this magnitude and was too excited to decorate the massive auditorium, she had built in advance. Flags of every country and territory hung in every corner. Taking some tips, from the Rennayan architects, she made the room, look futuristic, yet secure and comfortable for the guests. Leaders of some of the countries, sent representatives ahead of time, to make sure the venue would be safe and secure.
She also filled the building's hallways, with stories and art from the refugees, she had brought to the Republic of Rennaya. For all the world leaders to see, as they made their way to the main auditorium.
The brothers wore bulletproof suits, tailored by her. Made with nano-tech, they were capable of morphing into their battle suits at a moment's notice.
The leaders sat in their seats patiently, after greeting each other and making light talk of current affairs. The seats were well spread out. Circling a center podium, with a pathway leading to a back room.
Sarah had androids broadcasting the event to her site and all over social media. Several cameramen took hundreds of photos of the androids, guests and venue, while Sarah greeted world leaders.
She walked up to the podium. Fidgeted with her microphone and prepared to speak. "Testing, testing ... Okay! Welcome everyone to our first-ever Beyond-World meeting. I would like to thank you all, for taking the time to travel here today, to hear what we have to say."
She looked around the room, to make sure everyone was listening. "First off, I would like to thank the world for participating and lending us the strength to defeat that terrible alien." She smiled, as people tried to speak, but she quickly hushed them, indicating she would answer their questions at the end.
"Secondly, I would like to say that the hero who fought that battle, has made a remarkable recovery and is here, with his brother today, to speak to all of you. Please welcome Tobi and Osei, the last princes of Rennaya!" As she said that she pointed her hands out to the backstage.
Tobi and Osei walked out. Cameras flashed as paparazzi went off, while Sarah and her crew herded them. Everyone in the room rose up and clapped to welcome their heroes.
Tobi smiled at them while Osei looked away. Then, Tobi stepped forward to speak. "Thank you all for your support... I want to give a moment, for the soldiers who lost their lives that day."
He paused as everyone went quiet, following his example. A moment later, he spoke. "Now everyone, I must say we are at a turning point in humanity unlike we have any we have ever seen before." He placed his hands out. "On one hand we have, an all-powerful enemy, who owns every habitable planet in our galaxy and on the other, we have the power to fight back, yet we may destroy ourselves with it."
He looked back at the backstage, as Kayed and Amaara walked out in their training suits. A replica of Sarah followed behind them, holding another suit folded in her hands.
Tobi continued. "Kayed and Amaara, the first members of the Nova Division, are humans from Earth. Sarah has devised a way for us, to share my abilities with them... See for yourselves."
He nodded at Kayed and Amaara, while Osei & him made space for them. They both performed safe feats and abilities they had practiced beforehand. Sarah had another android bring Kayed a pile of rocks, which he then used to turn into a golem. He moved it however he wanted, collapsed it, and swirled it around him in demonstration, then dropped it in a neat circle around him.
Amaara threw fists of fire in the air, then spun and kicked a few times with fire bursting forth lightly around her. Lastly, she made two balls of fire orbiting her.
Tobi looked back at the audience. "As you can see, they are capable of wielding one of the elements or you can say the element chose them. Whichever it is, it will surely help us out, in our upcoming battles... Normally each suit is bio-locked, but we made a special one."
He looked around the audience once again. "I would like to call forth one member from the audience who would like to come and try it out."
People raised their hands. He picked an assistant of one of the world leaders, as he wanted to mitigate any international incidents. She came up to the podium a bit nervous.
Tobi gave her instructions and reassured her. "Now just touch the suit, with the intention to wear it."
She touched the suit and to her surprise, it came to life. Grabbing at her hand and morphing into a bodysuit, before she could react. She backed away freaking out. The crowd laughed lightheartedly but were astounded by the tech before them.
Tobi calmed her down and continued coaching her. "Hey, listen to me. Now close your eyes, feel the energy inside you and picture it into a ball in front of you... Deep breaths."
She followed his instructions. An unrefined piece of ice began to form before her. The room started getting colder.
Then it shaped into a giant ice cube, mesmerizing the crowd. She opened her eyes, excited by what she had just done, then dropped to her knees trying to catch her breath, as the cube dropped, but Tobi caught it before it could shatter across the floor. The audience was impressed, clapping away.
The others rushed to help her up, as Tobi turned back to the audience and continued his speech. "As you can see, it takes some practice, but the frost element chose her and it can do the same for those who join our cause. We still don't know how to replicate all four powers in one person yet, but we do know that to make more of these suits, we will need an element that is not commonly found on Earth."
He let the audience murmur among themselves, as they absorbed all the incoming info. Some asked what the element was.
He continued ignoring them. "They call it Versillium. A shortage of this element caused the First Galactic War. Most of the planets that had large quantities of it have been mined out or are being inhabited by the children of Atlas...
He shifted his position on the podium, as Amaara and Kayed left and Osei remained behind Tobi. "I'm not sure how an alien, ended up with a Greek Titan's name, but what I do know, is that we won't be able to reach him without large quantities of this element. Which brings me to my next point."
His expression turned serious. "We need to capture Sonara and Dargan. Both are held by children of Atlas on the same level as Zaryon with millions of soldiers."
Stolen story; please report.
One of the world leaders asked out loud. "You plan on invading a planet?"
Tobi smirked replying, "No, we plan on liberating the planet, then we'll bring it back to the Solar System."
He looked back at the rest of his guests, ignoring the uproar as he continued. "As of now, we were only able to produce eight of these suits. We plan on giving ownership of the suits, to those that Sarah decides are worthy and only from countries that follow the Beyond-World Constitution."
Outrage rang across the room. As some misunderstood what he meant and others ran with their own assumptions. Yet he remained calm and cleared his throat, as everyone quieted, then continued. "A new constitution that does not overstep any laws you have in place on Earth or domestic policies, except ones concerning human rights issues."
He looked around the room, with his hands out. "This constitution was thought of by Sarah, as a means to give alien refugees equal rights and keep those of you who attain technology from us, to not misuse it on Earth. I would like all countries on Earth to stop fighting and work together, but I know that's never going to happen, so instead we drew up a fair charter..."
People started to settle down, understanding what he meant, and were surprised to see how far they had thought ahead. Still, some glared at him with distrustful looks.
Tobi kept going, regardless of what they were thinking."...One that can be accepted by all planets who join our alliance, all people who want to live free, and anyone who feels that there has been too much injustice, running rampant across the world."
He put his hands out. "In the eight months that Sarah has been awake, she has amassed over 250 trillion dollars in funds, minerals, and fuel reserves. Not to mention the new technology she has developed, for example, the cryomed and ampitube..." As he spoke two androids brought out the machines in veils, then revealed them to the World.
"One can cure almost everything, short of death, the second, with your cells from healthy areas of your body, can regrow that body part which can later be attached for you, by using the cryomed. That's how I got my arm back." He gripped his former lost hand in front of him for the world to see.
"Sarah not only restored me, but gave us the tools to fight back, defend ourselves, and run away if we need to... That's right. We have a transporter that can move the Earth away, as a very last resort. At the moment even if we did, we would still not be able to escape the Empire's territory... Here is a map."
Once again, as he spoke, a gigantic map, appeared in 8K holographic picture, above them. It showed a red glow, representing the Cerian Empire's territory, and a tiny blue shading, almost less than a hundredth of its size, near the end of the map, but still within Cerian territory.
"This is our half of the Milky Way. As you can surmise, our enemy has conquered, all of our surrounding areas. This little blue spec is our Solar System." He said, pointing at the blue spec. "Our goal is to advance enough through this area so that we can set up a relay, that can help Earth escape if we need to... Sitting here hoping they won't attack us is naïve and the 75 billion people living as slaves, can plead their cases to you."
He let the audience absorb everything he was saying. Some people got restless, a bit nervous from the whole ordeal. This was major news and people hung on every word. Journalists jotted away notes, as more questions started to build up in people's minds.
Tobi could tell, his words were causing a bit of fear amongst the crowd, so he went on to the next solution. "It will be difficult and that's why we need your help. We are opening up our arms to those of you around the world who wish to join our army. It won't be an adventure. There are monsters and unknown things in the universe we have yet to see, but know this. You will be fighting a righteous fight, against the enemy. Even though they breathe, they are heartless."
He centred his attention on the leaders in front of them. "World leaders, I would like to request the ICBMs and weapons you have rotting away. We might as well use them to save the world." As expected, more outrage ran across the room as many leaders disagreed with what he said.
He shook his head. "Regardless we still have a formidable force, going in. Sarah has created 5 million android soldiers each as capable as a navy seal and equipped with tech far ahead of Earth's time. We would like squads of these units to be commanded by those who join our cause."
He gave his audience a genuine smile, knowing they'd like this next part. "We weren't able to recreate more Nova suits, but we ended up being able to mass produce a power suit. One that uses the Rennayan gene to add strength, seven times stronger than a normal human can and can help them draw portions of energy, from around them." Pausing as one of the androids brought out another item to unveil.
"Sarah equipped them with laser cannons in the palms and on the belt is a retractable nano-light sword or a Saber. These are called Nova Lite suits, which will give our soldiers, the strength to fight aliens in space." He grinned knowing, they were speechless.
"As you can see, we have all the means to fight, anyone wishing harm on our planet, thanks to Sarah. I would also like to give her a shoutout for other things she's helped us with around the world." He looked at her sitting with the audience and smiled.
"I'm not sure if any of you have felt the air quality in the world, getting better these last few months or climate change slowing down. If you did, that's because she worked hard on two new inventions. One that has been lowering the carbon emissions in the world and the other refreezing back ice on Antarctica's borders."
He raised his hands to his side. "Hundreds of each machine have been placed all over the world, slowly trying to recover our damaged planet. So please, all I request of you, is to treat her like a human being. She loves this planet, as much as we do." He said, glancing back once more, as she smiled back.
"Now decide, whether you would like to join the Beyond Federation or figure it out on your own. We'll provide security, economic support, and resources to the governments and organizations who join and adhere to the Constitution."
A dialogue box appeared, in front of every one of the leaders and territories, as their tables lit up, with the constitution for them to review. The box asked them, 'Will you join, the Beyond Space Federation? (Joining isn't mandatory, you may join at a later time after consulting your congress or have a 24-hour grace period to retract your decision).'
The leaders glanced over the box and pondered about this equal opportunity. Each of them looked around the room, wondering if their enemies or allies had made their choice.
One of the leaders asked Tobi. "Will we not be able to work together, if we don't join the alliance."
He looked at them and replied honestly. "We never said we wouldn't be friendly. Our company will be selling small quantities of cryomeds and other civilian machines, that Sarah developed, to help make life easier for us all. However, if you aim to harm any of our allies, in any form, we will back them depending on the situation."
Shock and outrage, resounded through the room once more, as the leaders were terrified of the proposition.
He dropped his hands down in a calming manner. "However, we don't aim to affect nor interfere with any of your political activities or domestic issues. Sarah will provide copies of herself, to countries that join our effort, to help with any humanitarian efforts... Her model was designed to build worlds and turn them from desolate, to green habitable planets, so there is a lot that your people will benefit from. "
He shook his head, then looked around the room. "With her help, we can effectively catch up as a peaceful society and maybe one day, the Earth might bless us the way Rennaya did for its people, but for now, we will lend you our strength."
He made a fist in front of him. "We need to be a shining example of hope to those, being enslaved by the empire. We are the last light, but we will light up the galaxy. Now make your choice."
The leaders took everything he said into consideration. Then they made their choices.
After a few moments, Tobi spoke up. "I see, 68% of you have decided to join us. I thank you for your support. Sarah will send representatives, with each of you, to answer any questions you may have about space. I would warn you not to tamper with them, as they are each a replica of her and can defend themselves."
He looked around the crowd. "Those of you that did not join, I wish you good luck. Those of you that have, each representative, in their free time, will fly around your countries to find those worthy of being a Nova."
He smiled and then finished off his presentation. "Thank you for coming, I'm honestly still not able to stand for too long and the painkillers are wearing off. Sarah will answer any and all of your questions. We will invade Sonara in four months. Until then, stay safe..."
He left for the backstage as Osei followed him. People rose to ask questions, but Sarah hushed them down and answered one at a time.
