Tobi felt like he was in a dream, walking through a forest, similar to one in his neighborhood.

Suddenly, the path opened up to a massive clearing with hills, except it wasn't empty.

Instead their were an insane amount of people of there.

Hundreds of millions, all dressed and looking like people from Rennaya.

Tobi looked out over the crowd, as each one of them turned their eyes onto him.

A child about ten years old, walked up to him, as he started to back away.

"Who are you people?"

The child spoke up, and they all spoke in unison.

"We are your strength."

Tobi was creeped out as he looked around at each one of them.

The child continued speaking.

"You have lent out our blessing without our consent, now you seek for more. Everything comes at a price, young one."

Tobi stared at child, wondering what he was speaking to.

"Darkness consumes all."

She grabbed his arm, and he instinctively yanked it away.

The ones sitting all got up and then they all began to converge towards him.

Tobi turned around and started running, not noticing the spot she touched, begin to invade his body like an infection at a rapid rate.

He collapsed unable to move his body within a minute, as the mob engulfed him.

At the Beyond HQ Medbay...

Saphyra had recovered all of the Novas back to the Medbay for checkups and treatment.

Helio, Amaara and Carina, waited patiently by the cryomeds, were Simon, Runa, Karim, and Osei were being treated for critical care.

The ones up, crowded around the TV's in the rooms, broadcasting the fight in Dargan's space.

Each of them shocked by what they were witnessing.

Hoping it wasn't all true.

"This can't be happening! Is he going to be alright?"

Sofia was anxious.

"I'm not sure anymore, I mean his heart stopped for a moment. Whatever that is, isn't human."

Koji replied to her.

Norah shook her head.

"He's still Tobi, he just has to wake up. It feels like he's stuck in a nightmare."

Kalista looked at her, wondering what she was going on about.

Norah was still dressed in her battle suit, refusing to check in.

Saphyra needed Kalista's help to force her into the Medbay.

"Norah, what are you talking about?

She finally turned away from the screen and went sat down on a nearby seat.

"I'm not sure why, but I can feel his anger, but it's not his."

Kalista walked up to her and sat down beside her.

"If anyone can get through this, it's him."

Norah nodded.

"I just hope him and Kiala can make it back to us in one piece. I have a few words I need to give her. Do you think it's true, Kalista?"

Kalista sighed then looked up.

"I'm not sure what to think anymore."

The rest of them, looked back at them for a moment, then turned their attention back at the screen, watching the fight escalate even further.

On the outskirts of Dargan's Atmosphere...

"Solkyr Altania!"

Mado swung down towards Tobi, as black electric flames compressed and followed through with telekinetic force, cutting through the ground.

Tobi reacted instantaneously raising a wall of ice, reinforced with a forcefield to block the attack.

A large shockwave followed by steam burst forth clouding the area.

Tobi still in the lost form, roared then disappeared into the smoke.

Mado braced himself, coating his sword in electric black flames.

He felt a blur from behind him as Tobi roared and began to swing down with his full might.

Mado quickly put forth his left hand, which had stayed closed preparing a condensed ball of black fire.

Just as it was about to shatter forth, Tobi grabbed his left wrist to push the devastating beam a way as he continued to swing down the middle, colliding with Mado's blade.

They crashed down together still holding their struggle as Mado started to bring the beam around towards his head.

The menacing skull on Tobi's head released steam and kept growling at Mado.

Mado could feel nothing but malice in those red eyes.

"You've completely lost yourself haven't you?"

Tobi pressed down closer, drawing blood with Mado's own sword.

Mado felt the pain and used the adrenaline to turn his wrist and fully blast him off of the asteroid.

He healed himself over and repaired his crushed ice wrist.

"A long drawn out battle in space, isn't favourable. I have to get back to Dargan somehow, but if I jump that far again, I won't have the strength to fight him."

He shook his head as he looked up in the direction that Tobi flew in.

Tobi landed on a small comet that was summoned, racing towards Mado.

His eyes grew wide as he teleported onto an orbiting meteorite close by.

The comet crashed into the asteroid, smashing it to smithereens, with a large explosion.

Mado thought he was watching the attack from a safe distance.

However Tobi appeared above him, swinging down once again.

Mado blocked it with the flat side of the blade, however the small meteorite broke away from the force and he tumbled down hurdling towards Dargan.

He caught himself, floating in space just as he was about to enter orbit.

Tobi didn't let up, teleporting in, once more with a loud roar and aiming to cut him down.

Mado fought back, pushing himself to his limit and constantly healing himself as he raised the heat.

Their swords collided producing a blinding light, visible to half of the planet, followed by a shockwaves rippling through and causing tsunamis on Dargan.

Mado struggled to push him back, but before he could, out of Tobi's mouth, a beam of violet electric fire blasted Mado, down to Dargan point blank.

Incinerating the ground around him, as he produced a forcefield to protect himself.

The beam suddenly stopped, leaving only a loud roar filling the sky.

The temperature started to rise, as the sky darkened with a tint of purple.

Large amounts of purple lightning converged, wrapping around Tobi to manifesting a purple lightning armour.

Mado squinted, faintly seeing the danger he was in.

"Zolleus's Armour!"

Black electric armour wrapped around him, at his will.

Tobi zapped down, like a lightning strike, placing his entire force into his fist.

Mado returned back his charge, with equal force, as their surroundings got leveled from the collision and the strikes after as they continued to trade blow for blow.

Tobi caught Mado's right arm and twirled around to hurl him flying into a mountain.

He produced a massive crater on the side of it, as he coughed blood.

He grinned.

"No one has pushed me this far, in such a long time. You're making me feel alive again."

Tobi had just appeared above him, letting out an intense roar as he put his right hand in front of him and clutched it.

The mountain and ground, for several kilometers, started to shake.

Then rumbled intensely, as the mountain erupted in a magnificent fashion.

Lava and debris rained concavely around the mountain, trapping Mado in.

He quickly healed himself and teleported out, behind Tobi and knocked him flying into the lava.

"You can have that back."

He said to him, however the lava unnaturally moved away and avoided Tobi as he landed on Mado's original position.

He pointed his hand towards him, and the lava whipped together into a bubbling pillar of magma, arcing towards Mado with incredible speed.

Mado jetted up dodging the flow of lava, then looked back down, to his dismay, as it snaked back after him.

He retreated, as fast as he could, flying as far away from the volcano.

He heard a loud roar in the the distance, as magma infused with dark energy, crashed around him, while he zig zagged along hills into a desolate plains.

He turned around to face it, giving up on escape.

Only to meet silence, as he watched a bright figure soar up into the sky.

The purple armour around Tobi combined as fuel for his next devastating attack.

The continent they were on, began to have a rise in seismic activity.

Native animals began to scatter, but Tobi was unbothered.

"Grr..."

He was still in a trance, as he poured in incredible amounts of energy, from an unknown source, to power a rotating electric lava ball, reinforced with purple fire.

Meant to end any life it may reach, for it had grown to over ten times his size, then condensed to about half of him.

Mado looked up knowing there was no way to escape.

"He's trying to take us, all out with him."

He gritted his teeth, then placed his hands in front of him, holding together a blazing ball of electric black fire, and continuously adding more as he condensed it further.

He wrapped the sphere with force trapping the air within to thousands of atmospheric pressure.

Cracks of air, lined the sphere as he struggled to keep it together.

"Solkyr's Sun!"

Matching Tobi's timing, Mado launched his attack, with his life at stake.

The collision between both attacks, caused devastating consequences to Dargan.

Turning everything in their vicinity, for thousands of kilometers into a wasteland, as the largest mushroom cloud seen in mankind history rose through Dargan's skies.

The two were sent hurdling to different parts of the planet, sustaining heavy injuries.

Mado got up, as he healed his wounds, searching the constant massive explosion in the distance for his opponent.

Only for Tobi to appear in front of him, with cracks lining the air around him.

He had a beam prepared in his mouth, about to unleash it point blank at Mado.

Mado was taken back, seeing how Tobi had recovered so quickly.

He started to raise his right hand to brace for impact, however the sphere froze in front of Tobi's mouth, then moments later shattered to the floor.

Mado looked back, as Rael descended down behind him.
