Tobi vs Bolgan

The sound of metal, striking metal resounded across the castle city, as Osei and Galzed traded blow for blow. He jumped back noticing the floor freezing and creeping near his feet, spreading from Galzed, as the giant yelled out, "World of Ice."  A cold breeze picked up fast, then with him as the epicenter, frost froze the ground around them at an alarming rate.

Osei jumped back even further near Helio and then jumped into the air, floating, by keeping electricity running under his feet. For electric users, doing this drained a heavy amount of energy.

Helio jumped up at the same time and created a floating ice platform for himself, then one for Osei, so that he could retain his stamina. Osei looked back at him and nodded, "Thanks."

The two looked around, below them. The entire castle was frozen, as the temperature had dropped drastically. The two started to feel chills, as their breaths formed mist and vapor, escaping into the cold.

Galzed laughed out loud, letting it echo across the city. "Since it's two vs. one, I hope you don't mind if I fight in my domain. Now..."

He leaped up onto a large platform of ice and charged at Osei, as the prince switched into first gear, then proceeded to fire hundreds of electric volleys and ice blades at him, with Helio. Galzed intercepted each barrage with hundreds of arrows, from archers rising from the frozen city.

Then he crashed through the attacks and collided with Osei's sword. Striking him off his platform.

Osei free fell for a bit, but regained his composure and maintained flight, while creating a small condensed ball of electricity in his palm. Rotating it at Mach speed, then parried all of Galzed's next incoming sword strikes, while Helio peltered ice blades at Galzed's back.

He held his ground, overcoming him with speed, then thrust the ball into Galzed's gut yelling, "Raika Sphere." Tens of millions of volts spilled out, as it shattered like glass coursing through Galzed's body. 

Sending him paralyzed, crashing through the castle city, and rippling utter destruction through his territory. Osei raced to follow up with a finisher, however, a gigantic clone looking similar to Galzed, towering over 30 feet tall, manifested behind him, in seconds. Then swatted Osei to the other side of the city.

Helio was terrified. His knees knocked, shaking, as he looked up at the golem. 'We underestimated them', it dawned on him. 'We could never defeat them.'

The golem made its way towards Helio, seemingly gliding across the ice city. Hordes of kaycers screeched, racing towards Osei's direction, fighting each other for the first bite.

Helio went into a frantic panic, he didn't know what to do. Barely noticing a slight vibration sounding off in his ear.  "Helio, get yourself together, remember where you came from, remember what you are here to do." Sarah reminded him.

Helio shook his head, trying to keep his hands from shaking. "Sarah... I don't know if I can do this."

Sarah chuckled, warming him up a little, as he thought of being anywhere else. "You are Helio Leandro, there's nothing you can't do. Why can't you control his ice?"

"His ice...?" Helio asked, as he launched volleys and jumped back from the ice giant trying to reach him.

"Yes Helio, if he can get stronger, with the ice around him, you can too." She said, making it sound like an idea he should thought of about a minute ago.

Tobi rarely used ice techniques, so it was hard to gain new knowledge from him. However, Helio decided, he wanted to do everything in his power to win this fight. He knew he was given this power for a reason.

The Nova stopped a far enough distance from the golem. Then focused on the energy coursing through the ice around him. He could feel the ice around the city breathe as if it were alive. It was as if, Galzed was continuously pouring in energy, into a new entity, using the planet's resources.

Ice was his domain, but he was afraid of touching the foreign energy, regardless he still decided to reach out. However, Tobi's cells inside the suit had a greater ability to drain energy, from anything compared to a normal Rennayan, granting Helio unexpected freedom.

Portions of the city started to melt as Helio absorbed frost energy from all around him. His body temperature was normal, but the temperature around him dropped to -30°C. A cold whirlwind started to form around him, as cracks ruptured across the ice around the city.

Galzed had just flown into view, stopping his golem short since Helio kept running away. "What do you think you're doing, you coward?" He asked, grasping at the hole in his stomach, which still had not fully recovered.

Helio snarled angrily. No one calls him that. "I am no coward, and I'm going to be borrowing your strength."

The prince laughed out loud once again. "Insects! Still struggling! What can you even do?"

Turquoise veins began racing through Helio's body. Mist formed from each breath he took. He felt a rush of power like never before, in part due to his anger and adrenaline. His life was on the line.

Galzed felt uncomfortable as his city continued to melt. He tried to catch him off guard by throwing his sword at him.

Helio dodged it gracefully, with newfound confidence rushing through him. He flew at sonic speed towards Galzed, and cut down hard before he could even react. To his knowledge he dodged the strike in time, however, the cold chill, emanating from the tip of his sword, sliced him in half, rippling mass destruction across the city below.

He didn't understand what had just happened. However, fortunately, his body had instinctively moved his core to safety, at the last second, while he returned a large volley of ice, crashing into Helio.

Helio was sent flying off his platform, but he made another before he hit the ground. He watched as one of Galzed's halves dropped to the ground. He was coiling in pain but rushed to merge back with his other half.

"This kid is using my energy, but how? I'm not allowing him to." He whispered to himself. "I have to kill him first." He concluded, before being cut short, as he noticed Osei at the last second, coming for his neck.

Galzed ducked down, by instinct, afraid of being sliced a second time. Then froze Osei's sword in place with a fast-forming column of ice, then kicked him away from it. Helio flew by overhead, stopping behind Osei, with dozens of volleys of ice at the ready.

Galzed spoke up surprised by Osei's return. "You're still alive."

Osei grinned back. "I'm not leaving without your head." Catching himself too late. 'Damn', Sarah was going get him for that. The people around the world, sat at the edge of their seats, wondering what was going to happen.

Galzed smiled back. "Let's see if you can say the same thing after this." He jumped back up on a platform of ice, dodging Helios volleys and gaining some altitude.

Helio made a platform for Osei to hop on, as Galzed raised both of his hands above his head. A giant whirlwind of ice, spun into a full-blown blizzard of shards of ice, within a massive frozen and pressurized sphere above him.

It grew to over fifteen times his size, then condensed it more, straining the growing storm. Cracks raced around the sphere, as he struggled to hold it together. The air around him dropped by over 50°C. He looked down at them, wanting to see their fear-struck faces.

Instead, the pair had already gotten to work on their own move. Something they had practiced over and over together, with the entire group. For cases of emergency, and to rely less on Tobi, assist each other's elements.

Helio made the sphere while Osei poured in electricity. Then Helio drained as much, as he could from Galzed's ice, melting the city down even further.

As they combined each other's strengths, they raised their hands, condensing the sphere together hundreds of times over, as Osei, helped rotate it at Mach speed.

Galzed laughed. "Struggling till the end! Mortals always amuse me. Goodbye, warriors of Earth!"

He then dropped his hands forward, towards them as his attack followed his directions. "Freezing Comet!" He yelled, as his concoction bared down, unimaginable cold and dread before them.

The pair had just finished accumulating the most amount of energy they had ever mustered. Their sphere was much bigger than when they had first started, nearly over one-third of Galzed's.

Yet they looked up at the incoming sphere of destruction, with its shadow looming across the whole city. Osei chuckled and Helio smiled, as they thrust their hands forth. "Combo: Static Bomb!" They yelled, launching the ball forward, as it left cloud rings behind.

The two attacks collided, resounding a deafening shockwave, as Galzed's broke open exploding all around them. However, they held on, as their sphere eased through, intact, striking Galzed in moments, and exploding in a magnificent lightning storm blowing him up into pieces.

The pair looked at each other, then dapped fists, before dropping from exhaustion.

Back on Earth...

The outskirts of Shanghai was in carnage. The alien spaceships had been opening fire on the city around them, while the Chinese military fought back an intense battle against the invaders. Hundreds of bodies littered the floor, troops, enemies, and civilians alike. Sarah had called the officials of the country over a hundred times but there was no answer.

She finally got a call back after forty-five minutes into the attack, because of international pressure, worried about the situation. She rushed to send the Nova division there. Her ships were already engaging with the enemy ships over France and fortunately, only troops and infantry landed there.

She decided to send her military to engage them, with French forces. However, both of the children of Atlas were floating above Shanghai watching the operation, unopposed. They had already announced themselves to the world via World Telomoniter, but Sarah quickly took it down. Then moments after the call, the Prometheus, Beyond's largest command ship, launched with the remaining Novas to China.

Back on Sonara...

Tobi sliced forward dozens of flame cuts toward Bolgan. In turn, the prince raised several stone walls in front of him blocking the barrage, then flanked to the right, flying a bit closer.

Tobi lunged at him, striking his axe and immediately surging millions of volts, through his sword. Shocking Bolgan back down to the city. At the same time, hundreds of golems rose out of the ground, leaping over each other in hordes at Tobi.

He dodged each one reaching for him, as he flew higher up, then burned them all away, just as a large shadow loomed behind him. A forty-40-foot tall gem-encrusted giant, crossed its hands together, over its head, and struck him down with devastating force.

Tobi had only managed to put up an ice wall and his sword in front of him, to lessen the impact. However, pain was all he felt, as he was sent crashing down into the city, causing a low seismic earthquake.

He coughed up blood. "Damn it!" He thought to himself. "He's a monster."

The prince himself, was already on his way, standing on a platform made of stone. Only Stopping a few meters, to look down on him. Tobi got up and glared back, shifting into first gear, as he sheathed his sword.

Bolgan laughed. "Ahh I see, you have ascended... Do you know how many ascended Rennayans I have cleansed with my axe?"

He sheathed his axe as well, out of respect, then proceeded to cover his body with stones & iron. "However, I want to enjoy this fight. I'm almost strong enough to join the top 100 and after I absorb you... I'll be far stronger."

Tobi smirked. "Death is an unexpected event. This may be as far as you go."

Bolgan chuckled. "Mighty words for the weak."

There was a tense silence for just a moment as they both smiled, full of confidence. Then they lunged at each other. Trading blow for blow. Tobi clad his punches, with fire and electricity, getting a hit in, with every couple of strikes. Bolgan jumped back to make some distance, noticing he wasn't getting anywhere, as Tobi was quicker and more agile, healing his bruises almost instantly.

Bolgan unsheathed his axe, giving up. "Fine then, I guess I have no choice but to pull out my ace."

Tobi frowned, wondering what was going on. Then he watched as the prince struck the ground in front of him with his full might, splitting open a massive crevice and yelling out to the sky. "Volcanic World!"

Tobi jumped back into the sky to avoid the eruption, as sea level amounts of lava, burst out of the crevice. Showering the land as far as the eye could see, with an endless burning downpour. He searched below, stunned as he watched Bolgan surfing, above a wave of lava, while adorning himself in a suit of magma.

Tobi cooled down some last remaining nearby rocks and covered his body, in a full-body stone and ice armor suit, as he watched Bolgan raise one hand towards him. Hundreds of drops of lava shot up out of the scorching ocean like rain returning to the sky. All surrounding Tobi, with nowhere to escape.

His eyes grew wide, as he thrust his hands outwards and manifested a frozen dome. Layering it with dozens of sheets, while it melted away by the barrage of scorching drops. Dozens burned through, burning him, as he tried his best, to block the remaining with his sword.

The moment he felt him let up, he ejected himself out, retreating off to the outskirts of the city to avoid his domain. However, he felt rumbles and heard crashes of rampant destruction, forcing him to look back in despair. As Bolgan chased him on a wave of lava, crashing through the city.

Tobi turned back around, preparing a small sphere of fire and electricity, hovering between his hands, then quickly released it at Bolgan, yelling, "Ignite: Static Cannon!"

However, Bolgan saw the attack coming and didn't hesitate to respond with a move of his own. As a tube of lava attached itself to his back and a massive sphere pulled itself together, from his surroundings and out of his hands. Pooling quickly and condensing once, before shattering forth, and erecting a beam of immense heat. Colliding with Tobi's attack and eating its way through, steadily.

Tobi grunted, as he was pushed back, then switched to one hand and jetted himself away with the other, as the beam sailed overhead. Drops of lava burned through his armor to his skin.

He writhed from the pain, then unsheathed his sword. Just in time, as Bolgan launched himself in the air, high above him, striking down with his axe covered in magma. "You're head is mine!" The giant exclaimed enthusiastically.

Even though he reinforced his sword with tough metals and ice the impact itself still sent him crashing down into the ground further away, as the sea of lava, crept closer to him.

Tobi wondered to himself while groaning from the pain, 'How could magma be controlled? Its nature is way too wild.' Just advancing an element, brought Bolgan so much more strength, than he had expected.

Then he shook head awake, and told himself that now was not the time to dwell on a problem. One direct strike and it was all over. Then he thought, about, what his favorite MC, would do. 'Use fire with fire and overcome it, to see another day,' he concluded and reached out to the magma's energy.

Just as he thought it was way too wild and thick for him to control, as if grasping for a toothpick, but several getting stuck on the container's lid. He kept trying anyway.

Bolgan dropped down sheathing his axe. "Fragile beings like you should just accept whatever is decided for you." He said with disdain.

Tobi growled back. "I'm not done yet. Someone, high and mighty, forced to use, his full might on a fragile being... You're a joke."

He braced himself, as Bolgan leaped at him furiously throwing dozens of strikes at Tobi. Magma flew in every direction, as Tobi kept reinforcing his body with stones, ice, and electricity. Dodging and returning every strike, with desperation.

His hands burned, as he held on, without being able to recover from the recoil rippling through his body. Then he jumped back, flying up quickly to avoid a gut-wrenching kick, from Bolgan.

Once more he tried his luck, manifesting a quick sphere of fire and electricity, and blasting it down, as quickly as he could, trying to catch Bolgan off guard. However, Bolgan didn't miss a beat, returning another blast of lava with one hand, aiming at him.

The collision sent Tobi flying up higher, as he poured more energy and might, to avoid being consumed by the flow of lava. He gave up and jumped out of the way, once it was safe, letting himself free fall for a bit as he ran over his options, watching the beam passing over him.

An idea struck his mind, making him draw his sword, and then reinforced it with dirt and ice, before sticking it into the passing beam. Collecting some lava on it and maintaining it burning over his blade. "I can do this!" He said to himself. It took all he had just to maintain the little amount of lava on his blade, due to lack of training and his earth abilities, but it was all he could depend upon now. 

Bolgan smiled, noticing him free falling back down towards him, then launched himself using a stone pillar and broke it into a platform to continue his flight. Axe in tow heating up with magma and ready to finish him off.

Tobi condensed the flames propelling him and struck himself with lightning, increasing his maximum speed. Then conjured flames and electricity, coating the magma-reinforced blade.  Burning it with intensity, as he broke sound barriers, racing towards Bolgan.

Then just before their weapons could collide, he stopped short, yelling out loud. "Ignite: Static Absolution!" As Bolgan swung short, wondering how he was being pushed back. His vision began to split. The strike, erupted lava, electricity, and flames, all in one, splitting him in two burning halves, and devastating the entire castle city behind him.

He watched Tobi's hair, streak even bits of silver and grey as static electricity crackled profoundly around him. "Not... Not possible-" He uttered as his last words.

Tobi sheathed his sword and powered down in midair, watching Bolgan's body finally crumble away. Then he remembered the situation and immediately tuned into his comm. "Everyone, status report?"
