BATTLES: The Royal Invasion
Chapter 38

Rad was trying to regroup after he was hit by very powerful solar beam shot by Manod who had the upper hand for some time during the battle but Rad, despite the direct hit, his body was capable of recovering fast and also his power was increasing with every hit he receives, this body that Manod wished from the lady of miracles to have it, so the battle was so intense and powerful that nobody had a complete control over the battle.

The two kings are very experienced and powerful individuals, and two of them had trump cards to hide up in their sleeves, but Rad decided to reveal one of them as he raised his hand above his head so a very bright ball that was in size of a basketball appeared float on his hand, this ball was mini magnetar but it was stronger than the usual one hundreds of times.

The mini magnetar started to hit manod with its extremely sharp magnetic field, that can easily slice a planet like earth to pieces, so Manod’s body became like a floating corpse but he was still alive as Rad could easily detect his energy flow.

“It’s over, old man” said Rad as he clenched his fist preparing to put the final touch.

“I felt that energy coming from this way” said John as his speed increased many times over when he broke into the atmosphere and became exposed to the harsh environment of the space.

“I see…I become more powerful every time I got into harsh events” said John as he was flying with speed equal to the three quarters of the speed of light.

“I will get rid of you…once and for all” said Rad as he was throwing his final punch but Manod dodge it at the last moment and he turned around him so he became behind Rad.

“I got you” said Manod as he putted his arm around his neck and he put the other hand on Rad’s back and attacked him with a solar beam from a point-blank range.

“What is this explosion?” John said as he now is certain that there’s something wrong.

Meanwhile…

Rad’s followers were exhausted trying to catch the carrier that was about to set off.

“Who are those two?” John said as he was getting closer to them as they were exchanging punches and kicks.

“You…who are you?” John cried at the two kings as he arrived. Their eyes were wide open when they saw John.

“No, who are you?!” Rad said in strong tone.

“I’m John, from planet earth”

The two kings were speechless when they heard John saying that he is an earthling before Rad broke the silence: you are…a human?

“Yes” said John proudly.

“No way! I feel energy flow coming from him” said Rad before he realized that he just found what he was looking for.

“The vision…was true” said Rad so the both men looked at him in amazement.

“What vision?” John asked as Manod was looking at Rad curiously as he know that the humans don’t have any powers yet.

“He is strong…but not strong enough to represent a threat to me” said Rad to himself before Manod said after he examined John from head to toe: you’re not this strong…but what an achievement for a race of lowlifes.

“Really?!” John said sarcastically before he continued: you didn’t answer me…who are you?

“I’m King Rad, the king of Terra and the leader of the invasion of your planet”

John’s heart started to beat like an engine when he heard Rad’s words: you…you are the one who is responsible for all this death and destruction?

Said John as energy was emits from him, and a solar aura was surrounding him.

John suddenly attacked Rad who didn’t evade on purpose.

“He is definitely equal to likes of Zarro” said Rad after he received John’s punch.

“Why you didn’t evade it?” Manod asked as John was looking at him wondering.

“You know why?” said Rad sharply then he attacked John on his face as he didn’t have the slightest chance to evade it or take any defensive position, so he got pushed back a little bit holding his head in pain.

“So this is how it goes” said John as the three men was exchanging looks waiting for who will make the first move, and as the two kings expected, John attacked first and his attack was toward Rad but he easily dodged John’s punch then he slapped John on the back of his head before Manod decided to attack Rad, who was alerted, with a solar beam that Rad know that it was coming from Manod’s offensive energy flow.

“It’s my turn now” said Rad then he attacked Manod with countless punchs and kicks that pushed Manod few meters back as he went unconscious. Rad wanted to finish him off but John attacked Rad in the last second.

“Dammit, your attack become more powerful, weak earthling” said Rad as he felt the pain of John’s punch in his head, but John didn’t let Rad to have a chance to attack so he rained Rad’s body with punchs and kicks that pushed Rad who was 4 million years old.

“I don’t know who are you or how you get this power…but you are not powerful than me anyway” said Rad after he caught John’s punch which is was on its way to his face, John tried to release his hand but Rad’s grip was far too powerful, Rad took the advantage of the close range between them so he made a solar storm out of his body that pushed John away and made him lose conscious.

“We must put our conflicts aside now…we must disable the solar bomb” said Manod as he was wiping the blood that was coming out of his mouth.

“Yeah? Don’t try to run away from your fate…my men done this job already”

“You can make sure by yourself? My men ran away” Manod said so Rad used his supervision to observe to see that his followers were still trying to get to the carrier, so Rad just smiled: we’re over anyway…no need to fight our destiny.

“No, we are not done yet” said Manod.

“What do you mean?” Rad asked in amazement.

“I can’t believe I will tell this to my worst enemy” said Manod to himself.

John got closer to them after he woke up.

“What’s wrong with you? Why you stopped fighting? You feel weak?” said John but the two kings just looked at him in disgust.

“long time ago…I’ve learned some words from an old wise man that can calls an overwhelming force that can fulfill any wish you want”

“Any wish?” said Rad as his eyes were wide open.

“Why you are saying this now?” John said.

“No time to understand, kid” said Rad sharply so John silenced knowing that there is something wrong.

Manod raised his both hands staring at the depth of the space whispering some words no one of them heard it, but when he finished a portal appeared above of them and a young women appeared from this portal. She had a brown hair and palmy young face, her white dress almost blind them, and she opened her eyes and said to Manod: you called me…ask for what you want.

Rad looked at Manod as he was expecting that he called her to bring things back to normal or at least to disable the bomb, but Manod had another plans.

“I want to be immor…” Rad attacked Manod with a solar beam so he couldn’t finish his words.

“What is this?!” said John after he noticed a white spot, less than three seconds has passed before this white spot become an explosion like that of a supernova that coming at them like a tsunami and killed them all, or that what they thought.

“Is that what it feel to be killed? Nothing?” said John who felt deep down inside his heart that he was alive. He looked around him to see Rad and Manod wondering just like him.

They were in the same place when John met the prince of the universe.

“Traitor” said Rad as he wanted to fire a solar beam at Manod but nothing happened.

“Look” John said as he saw the prince standing before a lake, and the lake’s water was sparkling.

“Who is that?” said Manod but John just began to walk toward him without saying anything so they just followed him.

“You know that guy?” Rad asked but John silenced for a moment before he answered: you’ll know if you followed me.

It’s was the first time for Rad to take orders from beings lower than him.

“What is this place?” said Manod as he was looking around him looking at all this huge trees and towering mountains which pure water was descends from randomly shaped grooves, and in the middle of that there was a beautiful golden towering palace that was touching blue beautiful sky.

“Thank you” said John to the prince who the wind was moving his soft hair. He was wearing a black scarf that covered his wide shoulders and the same white dress as before.

“Well, don’t thank me yet…your journey haven’t even started”

“Journey? What journey?”

“John, it’s true that I have the power to do whatever I want but I should learn through experience…like any other being in the universe”

“Excuse me…I didn’t understand” John said and the two kings behind him had a lot of questions in their heads.

“I gave you this powers because I will put you under the test…the humans…your world has been ruined but it’s okay…I will fix everything in instant…I will erase all memories but I will keep yours”

“But what test?” John said but the prince didn’t answer him, and he just waved with his hand so the world around him began to change.

It was 3:30 when John walked out of the building heading home.

“How was your day?” said John’s wife as they were eating their lunch.

“It was a great day…the market was…” John suddenly silenced when he saw a breaking news on T.V says that a bank is being robbed, and there was a hostages.

“I think that I’ll go” said John as he headed outside the door to reach all the way to the crime scene in instant.

John just went in there with speed that equal to the half of the speed of light, to put all the criminals to sleep with simple child’s play punches. He then flew to the edge of the space as the blue planet was under his protection as the earth savior and its golden hero.

“It’s time to spread justice in this world, after years of darkness and injustice, and I was assigned for this purpose…the purpose of spreading the light of justice everywhere…this is my world and this is my mission”
