The air caught fire, as electricity crackled dangerously around them.

Rael started to retreat back.

Tobi raised his left palm, while maintaining continuing his assault on Mado.

"Erupt: Cerberus!"

A 50 foot tall, massive lava hound erupted out of the ground grabbing for Rael.

One head completely made out of lava, the middle was made out of fire and electricity, the last grabbing for Rael, was completely made out of ice.

He turned around and blasted the inside of it's mouth with a beam of electricity completely shattering it, but it regenerated in seconds.

"Oi, don't think I'm someone you can ignore."

Mado said angrily, then punched Tobi faster than he could react, sending him flying back.

He felt his bones vibrating from the force, but he caught himself midflight, dozens of meters away.

"Ignite: Static Shock!"

He launched it with one hand, while holding onto his sword with the other to defend.

Mado split the beam in two as he crashed through it, to strike Tobi down to the ground.

He landed on his feet kicking up the ground, as he raised dozens of golems made out of titanium and gold to challenge Mado.

Without hesitating, Mado flicked his wrist, throwing tiny condensed spheres of fire and electricity homing for half of them.

Black fire protected him from the blasts, as they imploded within.

He didn't need to do anything to the rest, because an intricately detailed clone of him, made out of black fire, ice and electricity escorted him and started to engage the remaining using elemental abilities that he granted.

At the same time his hair flashed full silver, then settled.

His vein markings, glowed blue and working overtime, as the temperature began to rise.

Tobi realized, this power had to be the third gear.

He felt he needed to find a way to attain it, to have any hope of defeating him.

Mado teleported in front of him, as Tobi instinctively blocked his first strike.

However by the second, Mado disarmed him swiftly, then sheathed his sword and started to beat down on him.

"To be something in this universe, you have to tread the path of a conqueror. Winner takes all and strongest survive. It's unfortunate, since you're so young, however you've done well to make it this far."

Tobi continued to block all of the incoming punches, but Mado tore through his defenses with ease.

"Ignite: Static Dome!

An electric flame barrier erupted out of Tobi, pushing Mado back, as Tobi recovered himself.

"How are you using so many abilities?"

Tobi knew, he was just as guilty.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Mado smirked.

"What? Is this your first time meeting a Blessed Abnormal?"

He shook his head and laughed out loud.

"They are the ones in each race who were granted the ability to use two or more of the 5 abilities that govern nature. My twin brother and I, can use four of them, making us among the rarest of occurrences in history. It seems that you and the girl are the same case."

His clone had finished destroying the last golem and landed behind him.

Tobi quickly turned around, manifesting a sword made out of ice to slice the flame clones in half.

However it caught the blade, as it melted and shattered under his grip.

"The worst part is, the way you use Iko is incredibly inefficient. You won't be able to stop those who are even at least aware of it."

Tobi didn't hesitate, switching his attack to his other arm as an orb of lava manifested and was infused with electricity.

"Erupt: Volcanic Grenade!"

The ball burst through the clones chest caving it in, as it exploded in a magma inferno.

Mado grunted in disappointment.

"I guess you've always forced your way through, haven't you."

He shook his head and started walking towards him.

"What if you're enemy, is an assassin and takes you to a place not as favorable for you..."

He disappeared mid-walk, then reappeared behind him, with a hand on Tobi's shoulder.

His hair and facial hair turned her black, as black and white veins pulsed harmoniously all over his body.

The air visibly cracked all around them and in seconds they vanished.

Reappearing on an asteroid orbiting Dargan, as Mado maintained an air dome in space.

Tobi was shook.

He couldn't fathom how they got to space, however he instinctively held his breath and tried to keep the air in with a large dome of ice.

Mado laughed.

"Warrior, you can still breathe, because I allow it. The gravity of Roho Iko, can help me maintain air around me in space. Conquerers traverse space using this technique and will not hesitate to make their way towards you as you seek more power."

He smirked.

"It would be better for you, to just die here."

Slowly the air started to decrease, crumbling the ice away as it shrunk further.

Until it started to leave Tobi.

He started suffocating and freezing, unable to control his abilities any longer.

He dropped to his knees, in regret as a piece of them started to brake away, frozen and floating into the vacuum of space.

Mado watched curiously.

It was only moments, but he could no longer fight it any longer.

His heart flatlined, reporting through alerts immediately across Beyond Headquarters and the entire world.

The drone had just got to their location and was recording the incident.

Mado started to walk away to prepare himself to jump back to Dargan.

"I guess that was as far as you could go."

The air started to crack around him as he poured in energy.

Suddenly he was interrupted by a lash of dark energy, whipping about hazardously around the asteroid.

He looked at the epicenter, at Tobi's lifeless body still on it's knees.

Dark energy was pouring out of his heart, in almost sea level amounts flooding the asteroid.

Mado floated up to avoid it, wondering what was going on.

The energy crumbled the away the surrounding area as it withdrew back into Tobi, shocking his heart, over and over.

Mado noticed black electricity crackling around Tobi.

"So you're still alive."

He placed out his right hand, pointing at him.

Tobi's body started to reanimate, with a black skull etched with white whisker like tribal markings, forming over his head, leaving his hair jet black with ash like streaks.

Mado lowered his hand surprised.

"That color, it can't be... A lost one that has succumbed to darkness, usually lets off the aura of their abilities or sometimes their personality. However..."

He fired large blasts of black fire at Tobi.

A large barrier of dark energy erupted to protect him.

Tobi looked up at him, his red glowing eyes, sending daggers at Mado.

"You have to be that abnormal... The Dark One is searching for you. I must kill you here, for the sake of my people."

He released the maximum amount of energy he could muster and wrapped it around himself, causing an immense heat wave and artificial clouds to gather.

Striking down hordes of black lightning.

Tobi got up, black and white veins marking his entire body, as dark energy, crackled around him constantly.

He suddenly let out a massive dual tone roar, shaking the entire asteroid as a bubble of air wrapped around it.

He reached out.

A black and red indestructible katana formed beneath the asteroid and erupted into his hands, coated in black and purple electric flames.

Mado frowned.

"How is he that sentient?"

Mado unsheathed his sword, however it was too late.

As Tobi appeared in front of him and swung down on his left arm, cutting it clean off as it sailed down below.

Mado let out a an outcry of pain as black flames exploded a barrier protecting him.

He healed himself and formed an arm made out of ice, then reached into a pack on his side and swallowed a pill.

He felt rejuvenated.

They stared each other down, swords drawn, as the tension rose ridiculously.

"I am the King of Kiros, not even the Dark One can strike me down!"

Then they leaped at each other, swinging with all of their might.
