Beyond Lawsuit

As Tobi promised, he asked Sarah and Saphyra to think of a plan to help feed the new population.

They went to work earnestly, happy to gain more allies.

The rest of the Novas, including the world, had an awkward time adjusting to Sarah's change and Saphyra's takeover.

Some had newfound trust issues, but as time went on, it was quickly brushed off. Life became slightly better than it was before.

However, some people were left unhappy with the events that had transpired on Dargan and Earth.

Talks concerning life and safety became prominent on social media.

Before long, a high-priority case was taken up at the Republic of Rennaya's Supreme Court.

Between dozens of world leaders and the Beyond Space Force.

The world leaders argued, that they were not as equipped to protect their planet or their countries if Beyond did not share patents of their space tech technology.

They felt they had grown past the trust boundaries and they wanted to participate or at least have a voice in any events in space.

Their argument was agreeable with the masses, as they had started to feel as if Beyond could not protect them.

Sarah was furious.

"They're just trying to take, all of my hard work."

Her mood was felt across the whole headquarters, but Tobi knew there was little he could do, to remedy the situation.

Especially since he knew how the people felt, he slightly hoped to lessen the burden on himself.

A fortnight after the events on Dargan, a new Bill was passed, added to the Beyond Constitution.

Allowing the distribution of a Nova gear to countries for, reinnervation, replication, and use in space defense against all alien threats.

Only countries and allies with the Beyond Constitution were permitted to acquire Nova suits, Nova Lite suits, high-speed rovers, shuttles, and aircraft.

Lastly, each was promised a fully equipped spaceship, for use to pioneer, and combat in space.

She made digital courses in all languages on how to remodel and use each technology

After about a week, Tobi, Osei, and the Novas were invited to the Rahmanaka Clans planet and home base, Planet Azuria.

Some of the Novas turned down the invite, however, Kalista and Osei chose to participate.

Hoping to see traces of their people in Azuria.

Hovering near Azuria's Stratosphere...

Their shuttles exited out of Prometheus, descending into the atmosphere.

"Whoa! They're just like the cities, in the desert."

Kayed exclaimed looking out the window, as the shuttle flew over the Royal Capital, of Jadarn.

Carina wasn't happy, pressured to come by Norah and Runa at the last minute.

"I hope it's not too hot."

Runa let out light giggles, looking at her.

"You can't back out now."

They started to get closer with all they'd been through, including several talk shows and photoshoots around the world.

"I'm so glad I came. I could use a break from all the drama."

Norah said, giving them the widest grin.

"I'm not sure what we're in for, but they asked us all to come battle ready... But this place looks beautiful. Let's try and sneak out later."

She looked back, as shuttled jostled, touching down behind a palace, surrounded by alien palm trees and artificial grass.

"Welcome, welcome. So glad of you to come!"

A man with black hair and warm eyes, looking in his mid 30's, bowed and waved excitedly to see his guests.

The group exited out of two shuttles, greeted by a procession of guards, with light brown and green head cloths and outfits, made to protect them from heat.

They carried matching royal swords, sheathed at their waist.

Tobi walked up, leading their group.

"My name is Tobi of the BSF-"

The man cut him off and hurriedly put one arm around him while gesturing the others forward.

"Yes, yes. I've heard about you from my father. My name is Kaieda, son of Akio. Let's get you guys to the Greeting Hall shall we? We have water and refreshments there."

Tobi looked back at the others, who just gave him sheepish smiles as he got carried up ahead.

They entered through large intricately crafted doors, to a large hall, with tables of snacks and local delicacies.

Tobi eyed, some cookies and treats, but he was ripped away, by a beautiful woman, around his age.

"My daughter, Yori Rahmanaka, beloved princess of Azuria. She may act high and mighty, but she's still a kid, be gentle."

Yori was embarrassed.

"Dad! Stop it!"

He quickly whispered in Tobi's ear, then put his hands up backing away.

"Just teasing."

She turned to face Tobi, still flushed, but regaining her composure

"You must be Tobi. I've been told, a lot about you. You have my utmost gratitude, for aiding my people in our time of need."

She put one hand out towards him, and he gently received it and kissed it, just as his group walked in.

"The pleasure is all mine. It's an honor to meet you, princess."

She gave him a heartfelt smile, then turned around to greet the others coming in.

The guys instantly started making fun of him, seeing Tobi acting differently in front of a princess.

The girls looked over at Norah, who didn't seem all too pleased.

"It seems you all have acquainted yourselves."

Akio and several, guards that Tobi could tell, were his secret service, followed behind him through another set of doors on the opposite side of the hall.

Akio walked in high spirits, with both arms behind his back, and adorned with a light robe outfit, signifying a man of high status.

He gave his guests a welcoming smile.

"I suppose you're all wondering, why I have gathered you today."

Tobi nodded and the rest followed suit.

"You're here because you are weak. However, each of you has the potential, to become something great, akin to a star."

He shook his head.

"You've acquired strength, yet have not worked on the foundation to maintain it, or to get to new heights safely. I can only blame the people of Rennaya, for not preserving this knowledge, with the next generations."

Osei stepped forward, clutching his fist in front of him.

"They had no chance to preserve anything. It's cruel that you're considering them any blame."

Akio's dim green eyes focused their attention on him.

"Warrior, you must have been pretty young when it happened. How old were you?"

Osei felt uneasy with all the attention.

"Seven."

Akio nodded.

"Traumatizing indeed. However, they were corrupted well before then. Had they preserved their ancient knowledge and powers, of the universe, Atlas would have never been able to defeat them. They did not learn the lesson of the Messians."

Akio sighed.

"Now, now. I'm not here to bore you all with stories. I've brought you all here today so that you can train here."

Several of them were a bit shocked, but others were confused.

"For how long?"

Tobi asked, knowing Sarah had not set up the StarNet Galactic service for Azuria, to integrate media with the other planets.

"Until you're no longer weak. Which is why time is of the essence. Did you forget who declared war on you? His forces rival Atlas's, which is why Atlas avoids conflicts with them. They are as smart and even more violent than the Messians, and are blessed with more strength than the Rennayans, due to living in the Dark Sector."

He looked around the room and took a few steps forward.

"Do guys think, you're ready, to take both of those giant forces on? As you are right now?"

They went quiet, knowing deep within their hearts, that they were not ready.

He scratched his chin.

"Maybe, or maybe not, however, once we beat it into you, and you're able to harness it. I think you will be more prepared."

Jacira blurted, unable to help herself.

"Harness what?"

He looked at her, then gave her a large grin.

"The power of Iko."
