Marallda(Baraka's mom) sat by herself on a training field, the grass blew with the cold early morning wind. It was 4:00AM when she was just sitted by herself while looking at a bright star up in the sky. She muttered to herself "You know? I really do miss you a lot, Baroka. Our son's all grown up, he even has a girlfriend he's been hiding from me for a lomg while now. He looks a lot like you too, he even inherited an ability very similar to yours.", Marallda paused for a moment, a sad smile on her face. She continued to talk to herself alone in this early morning "Back then, we used to hang out a lot with each other, sometimes we'd even wake up early in the morning just to sit here together and watch the stars. But right now, I'm on my own.". She stood up, a female voice said to her "You still here?", Marallda scoffed "I come here every once in a while. And plus, this place is only a few meters away from my house.", she raised a brow In confusion "What are you even doing here?", Marallda asked. Gwen Armstrong (43 years old. Formally known as Gwen Star. Runo's mother. Long black hair.), explained "I came here for some early morning breeze. I thought you might be here, so i came to see you.". Marallda was a suspicious "At 4:00AM?", Gwen looked at her sternly "Like you're one to talk.". She looked down at a small grave infront of her "Mourning Baroka again?", she asked. Marallda replied "It was this time last 11 years that he died on a mission. We didn't know the full details of the mission, but he said something about dragon's and stuff terrorising a few countries before he left. At that time, Baroka and a few members of his team had gone go kill it. And then, a few days later.....", she didn't finish her sentence. Gwen kept quiet before saying "You know, a lot of us died afterwards. You know? Some of us didn't die because of the wars we fought back in our time, some died after the wars. Some of us even died while protecting what we cared about, and some of us died because the higher ups couldn't take control.", Marallda sighed "Whatever.". She looked at Gwen "By the way, have you heard from your daughter, Runo? Baraka left the house yesterday morning and said something about Lord Veronica calling him and the rest of his team.", Gwen replied "No, not really. They probably went on a mission or something. Usually at times like this, the city centre's where different soldiers take orders from, usually tell the families of said soldiers of their whereabouts.". Gwen took another sigh and waved her hand "Ehn, doesn't matter. Even if it's a mission, they'll be okay. They've survived a lot of things, right? They'll be fine.", she turned around "Later.". Marallda stood by herself infront of her husbands grave while her friend walked away "Yeah, I'll see you later.". Meanwhile, in a battle field that was constantly at night time, two streaks of white were moving at intense speeds, darting through the field. The two figures were both wearing rock armors, the only difference was that one had sharper edges and looked like a knight while holding an axe, his black armor was darker. The other soldier wearing the sharp rock armor as well, was holding a slim but large sword. The two clashed their weapons, sword and axe, an incredible display of weapon mastery, combat skills and destructive strength as they waved their weapons around trying to hit each other while they destroyed mountains in the process. They bashed each other around with their weapons and were fighting so much power to the point that explosions of white energy erupted everywhere while the wastelands broke apart due to their intense fight. As the fight rage on, Baraka(The armored soldier holding a huge sword made from earth), started to find it difficult to keep up with his enemy. In his armor, he gritted his teeth as he tried keeping up with his opponents dangerous physical prowess and speed "What the hell....? He's so strong! Way too strong.", Baraka's mind raced "His skills are impressive. His speed is faster than mine. His endurance is just as crazy and as durable as my endurance. And the worst part, he doesn't stay down! Its like we're having a battle of pure brutal strength and endurance.". The armored enemy waved it's axe backwards and hit Baraka on the face so hard that he flew several miles accross the battlefield. Baraka crashed into the ground several times "FUCK!", he exclaimed. His opponent flew in, rocks glowing with energy on its palm that turned into a huge sword made from earth emanating immense power, and then slammed it on Baraka. Luckily for him, Baraka was able to use his earth based ability to create an axe of his own to counter the sword strike. Baraka and his enemy dashed through the battlefield, they fought relentlessly with their weapons, their weapons bashed with one another at dangerous levels of speeds and strength, the impact of their blows were destroying everything around them as they fought. As the battle went on like this, Ballistic(The rock armored knight), unsummoned his two weapons, causing Baraka to be confused before being punched straight on the face accross a mountain. Baraka was in shock "Damn it! Even his physical strength is insane!", Ballistic jumped after him, rocks covered with white energy surrounding the air behind him before he snapped his finger "Blow him apart!", Ballistic command. Baraka was in shock, his eyes widened "Huh?!", all the rocks covered with intense and powerful white energy, fell down toward him at greater speeds. Baraka's arms hardened with his earth abilities, using them to protect himself, but that didn't mater. As soon as Ballistic's attacks dropped, even more powerful explosion of white energy were created, causing massive destruction. Baraka screamed while being overwhelmed by this dangerous amounts of power "AAAAAAAAH! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!". Baraka raged out, his energy shooting out of his body while being overtaken by Ballistic's dangerous attacks. Not just that, but his rock armor was crumbling away, leaving his face, arms and even his torso open "WHO DO YOU THINK I AM GETTING MYSELF DESTROYED LIKE THIS?!", he yelled out In rage before flying out of the explosions caused by Ballistic, infused an enormous amount of energy into his fists and punched Ballistic right on the face. The power from his blow made another explosion of energy with the ground being destroyed instantly. From the explosion, white energy flared down like lightning, laying waste to everything below them.
