"Love, hate, ignorance. They can all be used to control. Love can make somebody feel happy, and make them want to protect that thing that is giving them love. Hate is forced to be reconned with when everything feels hopeless. Ignorance can cause both. But what if there was a creature that felt nothing like that." After those words, Kanj woke up from his dream and looked around to see that it was night time. And the flowers he laid in were lit up like lanterns. He got up and stretched and looked at the moon and took in the fresh warm air.

As Kanj was about to leave a little girl stood in front of him, no older than 11, with an all-black dress on and black long hair.

"Um...Hello." Kanj said giving a faint wave.

"Hello, there mister. what's your name?"

"You can just call me Kan. And what's yours?" Kanj sat back down.

"Mine is Eve."

"Oh Like the first human. Dats pretty neat. So what are doing out here? Were you sent from the camp to come to get me or something?"

"The flowers love you so, I found you trustworthy enough to talk to you."

"Oh, that's-" When Kanj blinked she was gone.

"...Did I pop a perk or something? No, I don't do drugs...Was it a ghost? Either way, I'm gonna head out."

"He's interesting." The little girl said as he walked away, not noticing her.

Kanj was just walking back into the camp it was the daytime. He didn't notice the change though. Everybody was getting along with each other. And the food was almost done.

"Hey, you're finally back." Cilantro said walking up to him.

"Yeah. I just needed some sleep is"

"Understandable. I heard the food will be done soon. It smells so good." Cilantro drooled a bit.

"Yeah. Anyway, where is the rest of the group?"

"They are just around and about. Meeting everyone."

"Soo...The girl androids are pretty hot." Cilantro said.

"You know what I can't even lie I was thinking the same thing," Kanj said as they stared at walking by android

"What are you guys staring at?" Asula said stepping in front of them.

"Stuff." They both said at the same time.

"Um, ok...Anyway, where did you go?"

"I just went to go take a nap."

"At least tell us before you go and do that," Asula said a little irritated.

"Don't worry too much. I got back fine."

"Yeah, but what if you had gotten ate by wolves?"

"I'd die." Kanj really didn't care about what she was talking about.

"Yeah, and we can't let that happen. So be more careful."

"..."

"Hey, are you listening to me!?"

"Don't worry Asula I won't die yet. If I did I couldn't see you anymore." Kanj gave her a grin.

"W-whatever keeps you alive." She said turning around and walking away.

"Damn you missed yo shot."

"Shut up Cilantro."

After waiting around the food was finally done but they didn't have any plates. Or tables so they had to wash some abjects and improvise.

They went and sat down and started eating.

"This is as good as I was expecting!" Cilantro Started scarfing down his food.

"Wow, this is good," Shay said taking a bite.

"A3 did a lot of the work," Aladin said taking a bite.

"Damn dude you were in their whippin...It means you did a good job at cooking." Kanj said.

"Thank you, guys. That means a lot to me." A3 said doing a little bow.

"You don't have to stand you can sit and chill with us," Tommy said.

"Oh, ok."

After they were done eating.

"Hey Cilantro."

"What's up Kanj?"

"Wanna fight?"

"Where is this coming from all a sudden!?" Tommy said.

"It's not for no reason. I'm trying to test something and the only way I can think of doing it is through a fight." Kanj explained.

"What's going on? Nix said walking over.

"Me and Kanj are about to have a sparring match." Cilantro said smiling.

"Um is that a Good Idea?" Nix said.

"Yeah, it'll be fine."

"We can do it a the roof," Kanj said.

"Sounds kinda hot when you say it like that," Lucy said.

"Don't give people weird ideas," Kanj said.

"Why not? I think you two would be cute together!"

"I should uppercut you."

"Yeah me and Kanj do be cute doe."

"Screw this I'm heading to a roof," Kanj said walking away.

"Hey wait up," Cilantro said.

On the roof right next to camp.

Cilantro and Kanj were standing on different sides. Nix, Subi, Lucy, Tommy, Shay, Aladin, Asula, and the commander were watching.

"Anybody feel like telling us to started?" Kanj said stretching.

The commander stepped up.

"Get ready! ....Fight!"

They both rushed at each other and connect fist. Then Cilantro threw 7 jabs with his other hand and Kanj dodged all of them then came around with a spinning back fist that Cilantro ducked under then hit Kanj in the stomach. Kanj grabbed his fist while it was buried in his stomach and punched Cilantro in the face. Cilantro stubbled back word and then Kanj kicked him in the thigh, Cilantro quickly returned a punch to Kanj leg. Then grabbed him by the hair and started punching Kanj in the face. Kanj grabbed Cilantro by the shirt and pulled him forward and headbutted him with the top of his head. Then while Cilantro was looking up Kanj punched him in his chin. They both were bleeding. That last punch made Cilantro dazed. Kanj started landing combos. 2 jabs to his stomach then a left hook to the side. Cilantro pushed through the pain and pushed Kanj head down and kneed him in the face. Kanj hurry up and grabbed Cilantro knee be for it left his face, then picked up Cilantro and slammed him on his back on the hard cement roof. Then Kanj on top of him and started Punching Cilantro in his face.

"Suck his dick!" Lucy yelled from the side.

Kanj didn't pay any mind to her. Kanj went for a full power punch to break Cilantro's block. It landed directly on his arms.

"ARRGH! Sike..." Cilantro yelled in pain then smiled and returned a punched to Kanj's chest. And it sent Kanj flying off him. Cilantro used his power and hit him with 10 times the force Kanj gave to Cilantro. Kanj struggled to get up and spit up blood. And started breathing real hard.

"Hey he's not looking too good we should stop the fight," Shay said.

"Hold on. They won't kill each other so just wait." Tommy said.

"You know what my next punched will do to you if I hit you with all my power as well as yours." Cilantro said.

Standing up.

"That's why you won't be able to hit me..." Kanj was almost too hurt to get that sentence out.

"Returner!" Cilantro didn't even notice that Kanj had wrapped his chain around his foot. And when he said return The chain pulled Cilantro fast on the ground. At the last moment, Cilantro pushed off the ground and grabbed Kanj, and used the momentum from being pulled to throw him and himself off the roof.

Everything went in slow motion as they realized they were in the air.

"Got you!" Kanj yelled as he grabbed Cilantro then turned and used Cilantro's body to soften his fall. Then he flipped off him and landed on his back. They laned right in the camp.

"Holy shit they fell!" They all hurried and ran down to the ground.

"...I can't move."

"Me neither Kanj."

"Called it a draw?"

"Yeah."

The group rushed over to them.

"Hey, you guys ok!" Nix said.

as they stood over them

"Yeah, we're fine..." Kanj said.

"you idiot! Didn't I tell you to be more careful!" Asula said getting on her knee's over Kanj. She was angry, worried, and scared.

"You're so worried about me...Your starting to fall for me aren't you?" Kanj said smiling.

"Oh shut up bastard! I just don't want you to die." Asula turned her head away.

"Oh really? Then why haven't you even checked on Cilantro yet?"

"...Just shut your mouth."

"Eh, I guess this is a pretty good ship," Lucy said nodding her head.

"While you're still awake I have some questions. How did you get so much on that last punch after you were hurt?" Nix asked.

"...All humans aren't special like us. Cilantro has a special ability to return punches at 10 times the forces and I forgot and he knocked me on my ass." Kanj made it sound like they had these abilities their whole life.

"That's interesting! So you all have a special ability?"

"Yeah. we're 6 out of a billion."

"So only you 6 have these powers out of all the humans? Incredible." Nix was super interested.

"Hey, can we save the question for another time, My ass and everything else hurts...And don't worry me and Cilantro heal faster than most humans"

"Oh, that's fine."

Cilantro and Kanj fell asleep right there.

"...We never got to know what he was trying to test," Tommy said.

3 days later...

Cilantro and Kanj woke up in so hospital bed that they had at the camp.

"You're finally awake," Subi said sitting beside them.

"How long were we out for?" Kanj asked.

"72hrs."

"Oh, that's not bad."

They both got out of bed and stretched.

"I'm hungry," Cilantro said itching his back.

"Yeah, I could eat right now...Ay, I'm heading out for a little I'll be back." Kanj said waving goodbye.

"Is it ok for him to be moving around like that?" Subi asked.

"Yeah, it's fine." Cilantro said as he cracked his back.

"Oh, you guys are finally awake...Where is Kanj?" Nix said walking with the whole group.

"He left. He said he'll be back." Cilantro said.

"...That damn baster didn't even say hi to us!" Asula looked pissed.

Meanwhile what Kanj is doing.

He was back sitting in the field and open up his stats. And his durability and strength went up along with stamina.

"So I was right. My physical raises through fighting. Mabey if I find out what a black sphere is I'll be able to get that skill. What's the next skill I can get anyway? power pressure: This ability allows me to use my energy alone to overwhelm people. When this happens the thing that is being affected would have all types of things that could happen. And I can lower and higher at will. But it can't go over what I can handle."

"Damn I got some strong abilities. I wonder how strong my group would be if they started upgrading as well."

Suddenly the Power pressure unlocked without him doing anything.

"Wait why did it unlock? Shit whatever it helps me in the long run anyway." Kanj hopped to his feet.

"Well, I mine as well explore the city." he climbs out of the hole and started walking around.

"The sun seems like it never goes down. I guess this place doesn't have night and days.

On his walk, he saw 2 robots in a field.

"Oh, so these must have been some of the robots they were talking about." The robots were only 4 feet and just looked liked a cylinder piece of metal with a sphere head on top. and arms and legs.

"They aren't attacking just like they said. Hey, do you guys talk?"

"..."

"I guess not. I'll move on then." Kunj walked and saw a Canyon and a bridge that led to the other side.

Kanj looked over the edged and heard something.

"Help me..." A voice whispered from the bottom.

"Is there somebody down there!? I got to find a way down!" Kanj looked around and seen some rocks he could jump to, to get to the bottom.

After hoping down all the rocks he finally made it to the bottom. It was misty and robot bodies were everywhere.

He ran through until he came upon a tall robot. About 20 feet tall.

"Please...kill...me." The robot spoke and it sounded like it was in pain.

This robot had big strong arms and long legs.

"You want to die?"

"Yes, my body...It's in constant pain. I don't want to fight but my body forces me to. Please kill me." The robot's eyes started glowing red getting ready to fight.

"...fine, I'll kill you then." Kanj got ready to fight.

The robot threw a punch at Kanj and he dodges to the left. Then the robot tries to crush him with both of his arms. Kanj jumps above them but the robot swung his arms upward and smacked Kanj in the back! It hurt and Kanj got sent flying into the air. He turned in the air and shot his chains out at the robot and wrapped it around the robot's head and pulled himself to the robot and punch him with all his might. The robot got pushed back and his head cracked. But Kanj's hand was bleeding from cracking steel. His chain retracted back to him and he shot them out again and wrapped them around the robot's legs and pulled and made the robot fall. He ran and jumped and the robot and punched it with his other hand as hard as he could and cracked it a bit more. The robot arm moved fast and smack Kanj off him and Kanj went flying into the hard rock walls of the canyon. His body cracked the rocks a little. Then he fell to the ground.

"One more hit should put you out of your misery. Just wait for a little longer." Kanj was hurt badly. His side was split open. His back was cut up and bruised.

"Thank...you." The robot said.

Kanj got up and pushed through the pain and slid in-between the robot's legs and wrap his chain around them then ran and jumped and shoulder bashed its back and made it fall over. He wasted no time. He ran up to the robot's head and jumped and punched with all his might one last time and took his head off.

"Rest...in peace." Kanj was out of breath and hurt. He wasn't even done completely healing from his last fight. His left hand was broken, 12 ribs cracked, right arm broke from trying to block a hit from the robot. There was a lot wrong with his body.

"Welp, guess I have to climb out of here," Kanj said hopping off the robot. He was bleeding all down his left side.

After about an hour he finally climbs out of the canyon.

"I...Just have to make it back to camp..." His legs badly damaged when he hit the rocks.

He slowly started limping back to camp. His vision started to get real blurry.

After he got 1 min away from camp he could only see what was right in his face.

When he limped into camp he couldn't even see if he had made it. He just heard voices.

"Hey...Guys...I'm back." Kanj smiled.

"Oh my god!" Shay shouted when she saw how badly he was hurt.

A blood trail was being left behind. A where he stood was a puddle of blood.

When they heard her scream they all looked and seen how bad he was hurt.

Cilantro before anybody was right there for him to lean on.

"So much blood...What did this to you! You beat it right!?"

"Of course I did Cilantro...do know who I am?" Kanj kept trying to smile through the pain but could barely talk because it hurt too much.

"Tommy get over here and help!" Cilantro yelled.

"Right!" They carried him to a bed and laid him down.

"At this rate, he's going to die!" Cilantro looked panicked for the first time in a while.

"What can we do though!" Nix said.

"I don't know!"

"If you guys open your skills....by thinking about....it and shaking your arms. They will pop up. Mabey one of you has a healing ability." Kanj was running out of breath quickly.

Everybody hurried up and shook their arms.

"I got one!" Shay said.

"But I need to have one of my bones broke to unlock self-healing. Then two more to be able to heal somebody else!"

"Shay give me your hand." Cilantro said without hesitation.

"Don't worry I'm just going to break your fingers. You'll heal in no time."

Shay reached out her hand.

He hurried and broke her pinky first.

"Arrgh!" Shay yelled in pain.

Then he hurried and broke the one next to it. then the other one.

"It hurts so much," Shay said crying.

"That was the last one. Is it unlocked?"

"Yes, it is...I can start healing him now."

Within that time Kanj was only staying alive with determination because his heart had stopped 7 times.

A light came out of Shay's hand and it started healing him...

Kanj ended up passing out...
