About four months later...

Tobi made it through Beyond HQ, driving the cart to the training room.

Sarah had recommended, he check on the recruits.

Eight Nova's now, including five new recruits, Sarah had picked up from around the world.

They were all fighting each other, in separate 1-v-1 battles.

He walked by the first audience box, where he could watch the first pair below through the glass.

Renesa Alvarez (23) was throwing ice volleys at Amaara, who kept dodging and leaping in the air, with bursts of fire.

Sarah had found her in the Philippines, living with her little brother and sister.

Her parents had passed away a while back and she was forced to do anything she could, to keep her siblings alive.

Sarah is taking care of siblings and providing them with the education they need.

Tobi turned his attention, to the two in the next arena.

Carina Solvieg (21) had surrounded herself with humanoid golems covered in metal.

She was trying to get her golems, to break through Kayed's golems, but she was getting overwhelmed.

Abused majority of her life, she reached out to a Sarah representative flying overhead in her neighborhood, in Sweden after the World Meeting, and Sarah listened to her.

Then invited her to come live at the Beyond HQ.

He walked over to the next arena and looked through the glass below.

Norah Ali (20) had just leaped up, cladding herself in electricity and proceeded to cut off half of the arm of the giant ice golem Helio Leondro (22) created.

He stood on top of the giants head, raising his hand.

Hundreds of ice spikes formed, floating above Norah's head.

Then he dropped them.

However, in that time she had already charged up all the energy she could muster.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

She stabbed down on the golem's arm with her short sword.

Massive spikes of electricity crackled through, destroying the giants arm and sending thousands of bolts through the ice golem, shocking Helio unconscious.

She jumped back off the arm as it collapsed, but could not avoid the explosions of ice spikes hitting the floor.

She was sent crashing into a wall, sitting down on the wall unconscious.

The medics rushed to the both of them.

Tobi laughed then walked on to the last glass.

Koji Hachiro (18) and Simon walker (19) were having an intense fight.

Simon raged flames around the room, while Koji zipped around dodging every attack.

Through one of the militias, Sarah had noticed a man risking his life to save a child, during the invasion of New York.

She used the soldier to go secure the civilians and ask the man's name.

Now Simon, had grown accustomed to his fire abilities like it was a part of him since birth.

Koji's family were involved in shady business.

His father had disappeared and his mom and little brother were killed due to it.

He had been living on the streets, unable to return home.

Both of them were passionate.

Both wished to be a stronger version of themselves everyday, just like the hero did in the Battle for Earth.

Koji used a katana, Sarah designed for him, colliding with Simon's daggers, trading blow for blow.

Simon learned from Tobi, to condense flames further into thrusters behind your elbows and feet to boost speed.

It was the only way he was keeping up with Koji.

Whereas Koji learned to pace electricity currents through his body to maintain speed and strength.

He covered his blade as well, to keep it from melting or breaking.

Sending light numb surges back to his opponents, wearing them down.

They both backed up, giving some distance from each other.

Simon sheathed his daggers then created a condensed small ball of fire in his palm

"Ignite: Globus."

Koji did the same, sheathing his sword and created a small dense ball of electricity, crackling with energy.

"Static: Denki Bōru."

Then they leaped at each other, placing their full might, in their attacks.

Less than 2 meters from striking each other down, Tobi breaks the window and places his hands out

"Frost: Time."

Orange veins flickered.

The rush of ice was a faster than the both of them.

They were both frozen like ice statues, facing each other.

Their attacks about to collide.

Their eyes whipped around, looking for who had just attacked them.

"It's just training, you don't have to kill each other."

Tobi said, as he walked between the two of them, finally releasing them of their binds.

Their attacks crumbled into ice pieces.

"Bruh, I was about to win."

Simon said, while panting and warming himself up.

"Nah, you were this close to getting your ass kicked, what do you mean."

Koji replied.

Tobi warmed him up with light flames that didn't harm him.

"Y'all can go shower up and cool your heads. That's enough training today."

Tobi said to the both of them.

Simon shook his head and started to leave.

"Sure, sure, Imma go grab something to eat, I'm starved."

Koji looked at Tobi.

"You know, I was gonna win right."

Tobi gave him a smile.

"Maybe next time, man."

Koji left to go have a smoke.

Just then, Tobi heard a static buzz in his ear.

Sarah spoke in his comm.

"Tobi can you please come to the Command Center."

"Will do."

He replied, then he headed back down to his cart and drove off to the Command Center.
