The medical equipment in the room, whirred loudly at the Beyond HQ.
Sarah watched Tobi through the glass in the cryomed, as the nanotech raced through the liquid, returning him back to good health.
The ampitube and cryomed.
Two machines Sarah had developed using Osei's memories, during his time on Rennaya and as a slave.
The Cerian royal family had only used these devices, to prolong torture.
A new arm was floated in the ampitube.
"Soon, you'll be walking right."
She said, as she touched the glass.
Then she walked out of the Med bay
Leaving the medics to work.
She made her way, to the training room.
Amaara and Kayed, two refugees, were having an intense battle, with fire and golems raging around the room.
Sarah jumped to the side avoiding one of the incoming fire balls.
She smiled.
They were progressing better.
This would add to the might of the Beyond Space Force, she thought to herself.
She proceeded to take a seat somewere, distancing herself from them.
They felt her enter the room, but still held their gazes towards one another.
Kayed is 6ft, with an athletic build and had just turned 19 recently.
He lived a life of poverty, and most of his family died during the war and famine in Yemen.
Sarah found him, malnourished on the street, in need of water.
Six months later, he had trained his earth abilities nearly everyday, that he had been living at the Beyond HQ.
Amaara, is 21, and just a little shorter than Kayed.
Sarah saved her in Sierra Leone, from a dangerous life.
She had braided her hair in a ponytail and wore the same 'Beyond' light blue and grey, metallic training suits, Sarah had made for them.
Amaara threw a roundhouse kick.
Arcing flames with her kick.
The golem she kicked at, lost it's head.
Then she put both hands behind her back and blasted herself in the air
Jetting flames through her hands and feet.
This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.
She floated into the air for a few seconds, above the army of golems.
Then she put both of her hands in front of her body.
"Ignite: Shan!"
Flames burst forth, seemingly from out of her palms, engulfing the golems, as they crumbled away.
Kayed jumped back, seeing the flame blast and moved around the room, using a rock platform.
Sarah had placed dirt and metal scraps, all over the training room for them to use.
He launched the rocks and metal, that he came near at Amaara.
Amaara dodged the first few, then blasted the rest with fireballs.
Explosions resounded throughout the room.
Kayed then formed an armor of dirt, around his body, closing in Amara.
Amaara welcomed the challenge, summoning fireballs at her side and launching them.
Kayed threw floating rocks at her while he charged.
Both of their attacks collided in midair.
Kayed burst through the flames and smoke trying to tackle her.
Amaara dodged to the right about to launch another blast point-blank.
Then above her, a dirt dome dropped down enclosing her inside.
Metal scraps wrapped around it sealing it closed.
"I win this time!"
Kayed exclaimed.
Amaara had been whooping his butt, even though he got his abilities before her.
A blast of fire, blew off the roof and she climbed out pointing one hand at him.
"What do you mean? I'm still good to go-"
Sarah cut them off.
"Alright guys how about I stop you right there. It's a draw."
She looked over the both of them thoroughly.
"Are you guys feeling any side effects?"
Amaara spoke up.
"Well I felt like I was going to overheat soon, but the AC on blast, has been helping me out."
Kayed was annoyed.
"Your side effects are so much more easier to deal with. I feel a migraine already coming."
Amaara scoffed at him.
"You know Tobi is feeling all of them at once right now."
Sarah broke their argument.
"Of course, he had used his abilities beyond his current limit. The more you practice, the more your side effects will diminish."
She looked at Kayed.
"I've got some pain killers for you Kayed, take them with water."
He smiled at her, as he took the painkillers?
"Thank you, Sarah."
Osei walked into the training room.
"Hey guys."
The group greeted him back.
"Hey Osei!"
Osei looked at Sarah.
"How is Tobi doing?
He was worried about his brother.
Osei had been discharged early, since most of his wounds were external and because of his natural Rennayan strength.
Sarah responded in a solemn tone.
"He suffered many damages inside his body, and had mass internal bleeding. Normally he shouldn't be able to leave a hospital room for months or ever, but the cryomed will have him in good health for the world meeting."
Osei nodded, understanding the situation.
"Good, let me know if he wakes up early. I'll be training for the time being."
Amaara looked at him and asked shyly.
"Can I train with you?"
Osei looked at her and shrugged.
"Do as you wish."
She gleed happily.
Kayed went to the cafe to take a break.
His headaches were killing him.
The world was mess, but they waited patiently to hear again from their heroes.
Far off in the the distant galaxy...
Atlas paced around his throne room.
He couldn't shake the feeling off, but he felt like another one of his children had died.
Alcra barged into the room.
Atlas looked up angrily.
She dropped to one knee, bowing.
"Father, forgive my intrusion."
"I will allow it. What's the matter?"
He said, while looking out his window, overlooking his city.
It was beautiful.
Lots of machinery and sky scrapers plagued the city, but there was so much greenery everywhere and it was organized like someone took care of them everyday.
From bushes, to trees, to grass, they were all perfectly cut.
Androids roamed the streets.
There was not a single living being in sight.
Alcra continued.
"Two of the princes, Zaryon and Kairon, ventured into a sector with these coordinates."
She placed a tablet on the table.
"They went with forces great enough to take over any planet. Yet none of them have sent word back."
Atlas's anger turned to curiosity.
"Are you sure they weren't just killed by any of their siblings?"
He asked, without care for them.
Alcra shook her head.
"No, I 've checked many times. We have conquered all of the habitable planets in Kairon's sector. I sent Zaryon, to investigate why Kairon had not delivered his tributes at the allotted time, but he also did not return."
Atlas pondered the new information.
"Ok then, send two this time. Bolster their forces. I want to see, if this new force is worth challenging or not."
He looked at Alcra, with a sinister smile.
"If they are beaten... Wouldn't that make things, much more interesting?"
