-Year, 2008-
Kamar-Taj, Nepal.
It has been a year since their first battle, which got three of them punished. Still, It was a very productive year for him. He finally evolved his Ajula into 4th form and Adera into 2nd form. Although his Alma Eterna has been continuously increasing in quantity and quality over the year, granting him more potent and increase in mana's reserve.
Currently, Tobi could be classified as an S-rank entity that could be regarded as a planet level threat. But compared to other powerhouses in the universe, He is still considered weak.
Aqua and Motoshi are also considered quite strong within the Earth. Still, in the universe, They cannot stand a chance against other monsters and gods. They can be regarded as borderline B-rank and Low A-rank in terms of Strength.
Tobi stood in front of his teammates and said, "Today, We will be going on our first extra-terrestrial mission." Aqua looked very excited. She was bored with missions like collecting some relics or exterminate some cults. She wanted to go to space.
Motoshi had an expression of uneasiness on his face. Seeing her friend's weird expression, Aqua asked, "What happened, Motoshi? Why do you look uncomfortable?" Tobi also looked at him with a curious look.
Motoshi sighed and answered, "It's just that I am not sure about my strength. I have read information about various alien species that could kill every single life on Earth. Like those celestials or Asgardians." Aqua put her finger on her chin and had a thoughtful expression on her face. She sighed and said, "You don't have to worry about it. After all, Our captain is a strong person. He will protect us from any danger." Tobi nodded his head in agreement.
Motoshi smiled and did not say anything. Tobi took his smile as a yes and said, "We will meet at New York Sanctum, at 3 PM. Don't forget to bring the necessary items for the mission." Aqua nodded and asked, "What is the mission?"
"This will be a retrieval mission. The Ancient One's friend has requested her support in Gamahia Civil War. Her name is Kaya, and she's a judai. Our purpose is to retrieve a particular weapon called Gameha. The rest of the information will be given when we reach Gamahia." Tobi informed and opened a portal to his room. After saying goodbye, he entered it.
He sat on an armchair near his bed and did a cross handsign with his fingers. Suddenly, A lot of memories poured inside his mind making him bleed from the nose. But due to the Ajula, The pain was relieved, and his brain started to heal.
Tobi panted and muttered, "*pant* It seems that everything is going well. The company is doing good, and my relationship with the government is also getting better." Tobi stood up and changed his clothes into his black suit and went to the garage.
He entered the sportscar and dialed a number. He ordered his assistant on the call, "Luna. Today we will clean the entire company. Send an announcement; today, I will be supervising the New York branch along with the Manhattan office."
Luna answered, "As you wish, Sir. Also, How do we deal with those spies?" Tobi closed his eyes for a moment and replied, "Same as we do with others." Tobi cut the call and created a shadow clone. The clone poofed near the rear seat. He looked at his clone and ordered, "You will catch the moles inside the company and manipulate their memories. If they got any essential information, Delete their memories regarding it, and make them loyal to me."
Clone grunted in agreement and jumped out from the moving car.

Tobi and his teammates were now sitting inside the Starbucks and discussed their mission. Aqua drank her coffee and said, "When will be leaving?" She did not tell the location as it was a public space, and someone could have spied on them. Tobi chuckled at her paranoia and answered, "Within the next hour."
Tobi took a sip of his coffee and asked, "Are you ready?" Both of his teammates looked confused. Before they could question, they suddenly teleported to the Kamar-Taj. Aqua fell on her knees by sudden teleportation while Motoshi tried to balance himself and fell on the floor.
Their leader looked at them with a confused expression before hitting a sudden realization. Tobi gave his hands to his teammates and helped them. He apologized, "Sorry, I did not know that this was your first time teleporting." Aqua puked her coffee, and Motoshi tried his best not to puke.
Aqua cursed him while she was vomiting. Motoshi also wanted to curse but refrained as he was unsure that he would puke if he opened his mouth. He still glared at Tobi with anger.
Tobi rubbed his head and changed the topic, "How about we start our mission." Aqua cleaned her mouth and kneed him in the stomach. She almost shouted, "Don't you dare to change the topic!" Tobi once again apologized.
Motoshi created a portal and asked them to follow. They entered it and directly arrived in Hong Kong Sanctum. Master Hamir greeted them and asked them, "What is your destination?" Tobi looked at the Hong Kong Sanctum's Rotunda of gateways and said, "Is the destination ready?"
Master of the Sanctum smiled and answered, "Unfortunately, I do not know the necessary coordinates required to enter Gamahia. But I know someone who does." Tobi nodded and followed him. Master Hamir walked towards a Chinese girl wearing traditional Sorcerer's clothes and introduced, "Tobi, This is Su Meimei. She is my apprentice. She once visited Gamahia. But due to some personal reasons, I cannot tell you the details."
Su Meimei came forward and said, "I will create a portal in a few minutes. If you have any questions, please ask." She said and started to open the portal with the help of a sling ring.
Tobi got confused and asked, "Why five minutes?" He asked with a frown, "Does your sling ring have any problems?" Upon hearing this question, Su Meimei looked uncomfortable. She still answered, "I have slight problems in my connection with dimensional energy." Tobi nodded in understanding and did not ask any further.
After a few minutes, She opened a portal allowing a stable connection between Earth and Gamahia. Tobi and his team entered it and crossed several galaxies. They arrived in front of an abandoned city.
The portal disappeared with sparks of flames, leaving some behind. Tobi inspected the area and frowned. Tracing some signs of blood and flesh, he turned to his teammates and said, "This area had been a war zone. Be careful." Aqua nodded, and Motoshi asked, "Where are our employers?"
"Let me scan the area for any life," Tobi said and put his finger on the head. He covered the entire area within 15-kilometers of the radius with Nature Energy and scanned it. He took a minute to locate the signatures nearby and took another to check if they have a mark of Sorcerer Supreme.
He said to his teammates while motioning to follow, "On the north-west, there are five signatures near the abandoned warehouse. One of them has a mark of The Ancient One, Probably our employer." They followed him and started to run.
They could have used portals to travel but, It is their first time on this planet. After some time, they reached the warehouse and stood in front of the entrance. Tobi once again scanned the area to check if there is any traps or ambush.
Seeing that they were safe, Tobi walked forwards and knocked on the door. A blue-skinned alien opened the door. He wore a yellow trench-coat and had a shiny orb on his head.
He opened the door partially and peeked. He asked with caution dripping in his voice. "Who are you?" Tobi could sense that he was vigilant of them.
He said, "The Ancient One sent me. I was informed that my employer is staying here." The alien was about to shut the door until a voice came from inside, making him stop.
"Let them in. They are friendly." Alien grunted but still followed the order and opened the door. The house was pretty empty and only had a few capsules and a single sofa in the living room.
("3… no! 4 signatures are inside the basement.") Tobi got off from his mode without showing any changes. He heard some footsteps coming from his right.
A blue-skinned beauty with a height of 6'2 walked towards them and introduced herself in Gohamian Language. "Ite Eman Azura. Ra uov da ban Anocient Ban set?" ("My name is Azura. Did the Ancient One sent you to assist us?") Tobi translated for his teammates.
"The Ancient One did send us, Mrs.Azura. I presume that you need our ability to complete the mission?" Tobi said in a polite tone.
His speech's meaning was that they would only complete their mission to retrieve the weapon. They will not take any part in their personal affairs.
Azura also got the meaning behind his words. She confirmed, "Indeed as you say, Mr..?" Tobi replied, "Tobias Remington." She nodded and continued, "Mr. Remington, you only have to retrieve the weapon. The rest is our duty."
Tobi nodded, but still, he was doubtful. He looked at his teammates and said, "We will start our mission by night-time and complete it by sunrise. I want you to be in your best form." They nodded.
He turned towards the Azura and asked, "So, Where will be staying?" She replied, "There are two empty rooms on the ground floor. I have cleaned and modified it to your needs."
Tobi nodded and inquired about some information. "Why is there a war going on?" He noticed that Azura was uncomfortable at his question, but she still answered after a few moments.
"Gamahia was a very peaceful planet. The Judai and Gamahians were co-existing peacefully. They often married to each other and made the planet peaceful." She looked quite proud at that, "But, It all ended when a battalion of soldiers attacked us. They massacred half of the population of the planet." She continued.
"Millions were killed mercilessly, and they did not even spare the children." She sadly said, making the atmosphere in the room bit uncomfortable.
"But the main problem was, more Judai was living than the Gamahian. The balance of power was quickly turned, making Judai the dominant." She said and looked at Tobi. After a moment, She continued, "This caused quite a dissatisfaction amongst the surviving Gamahians. And this only continued further when they found that the Judai still wanted to marry their females."
"The Gamahians have a unique constitution. They have higher physical strength than an average Judai." She informed. "It started from a small skirmish inside the government, and slowly it turned into a Civil-War."
"But don't the Judai have a higher population?" Tobi probed. She nodded and answered, "They wanted to have peace. But the opposition was not pleased. They came in a group, killing every Judai they saw."
"The central power was unable to respond, and they killed more than 30% of Judai's."
"They have a device that helps them to recover their lost health quickly, making them unstoppable. But, We have our technologies. The war is now in a stalemate."
("An interesting device.") Tobi mused. He commented, "That is why he was so cautious when we knocked on the door." Tobi pointed at a Blue-skinned alien who opened the door for them.
The man in the question grunted in annoyance, "If you are my enemy, then I am your enemy." He said as a matter of fact.
"...?" Tobi looked at him with confusion. Seeing this, the man elaborated.
"If you are gonna fuck me, Then I will also fuck you back."
"…" Tobi was speechless, and after a moment, he replied.
"That's crude. And I don't like it."
