Chapter 44 : Hornet

"You're back, we have been waiting for you, where have you been?" Samuel asked.

Bright walked Into his dormitory, and could see his friends chit chatting and playing a video game. He ignored the question and went straight to his bed, he immediately crossed his leg and entered a meditative mode.

" What's up with him, why is he meditating now of all times?." Samuel continued.

" Hey guys, come over here. " James called everyone's attention to a video on his phone.

...............

Bright looked through himself in his meditative state and could see the seal on his oval.

' Got you ' he thought and controlled his ATP, forming it into a fist and smashed it at the seal with force, breaking it on impact. He rechecked his internals to check if everything is okay, after confirming that he was okay, he opened his eyes and could see eight pairs of eyes staring at him, with a what have you done look.

"Why are you guys staying at me, I'm not comfortable with your stare." he complained

" You really had to beat him up to that extent? " Samuel asked.

" What do you mean, what are you talking about?" Bright questioned back with a confused look.

Raising his hands, James showed him a video of him beating up the guard at the cafeteria.

"Oh that, he really upset me, let's forget about that. Are you guys ready, or aren't you visiting stelio again? " Bright asked.

They all decided to move out and head to the underground where stelio resides.

..........

Stepping into the Auta, the were greeted by the same empty hall, they all went to the centre of the hall and the regular clicking sound resounded and the sink into the opening below. instead of puking they all stood up well and surrounding them were stelio's sub- robots, which were ready to attack them, they are all blue and white pattern.

"Hey calm down, we aren't enemies, we came to visit a friend of ours" James said.

" You trespassed " one of the robots that had a different pattern from the others said

"No we didn't, like we said we are friends" James spoke again.

"No one is allowed to come in here, and we aren't expecting a visitor" the same. robot said again

" Is that thing deaf? " Samuel asked

" I don't have ears like you humans do, but I can process every single words coming out of your mouths, using deaf is an insult to us, and we won't let it slip" the robot said. It raised it's hand and decided to shoot a blaster at them.

"That won't work against us" Samuel said appearing right at the side of the robot and hitting it at the side of it's face.

The other robots turns around, surprised and wondering how he got there so quick, the decided to support their leader but before they could, they all met their demise.

Sparks were going off around the area. Stelio stride in, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"What have you done!!!??, you left me all alone after destroying my precious trainees, now you decided to come back here and this is what you do!!!? stelio said with a loud voice.

" Did we annoy him?"Timmy asked.

"isn't it obvious, we just destroyed his precious trainees again" Noah said

" Stelio we are sorry for this, we couldn't just stand still and let your sub-robots attack us, and besides we thought it's your way of welcoming us" Bright stepped forward and said

" Sigh, it's fine you guys have really improved in this short time, I'm happy to see that" stelio said

" hmm, what are you talking about? " Sam asked

" You were able to takeout this advanced robots with ease, I'll have to create stronger trainees. So welcome back, I have a surprise made for you all, come with me" Stelio smiled and said

They all followed behind, wondering what surprise he has for them. "Here we are" stelio exclaimed and pointed at a mini dojo.

"What are we meant to do here?" Sam asked

"You all took out those robots as if they were nothing, let's see how you'll handle this one's, alright go in" stelio answered.

They all walked into the dojo and was wondering what they were going to do. Suddenly an arrow shot out if nowhere, aiming to strike Timmy who was too late to move out of the way. Bright took a step forward and pushed him lightly, making the arrow to miss, immediately multiple arrows shit at them from. different angles.

"What is this, this stuff are annoying" Sam complained

" You get quickly annoyed about practically everything" Timmy said

They were all take care of the arrows in their own way, Noah's eyes caught something and it widened, he could see Bright knocking off every single arrow that shot at him relatively easy.

'He has really gone beyond us, we need to grow stronger so we won't be... ' he was lost in thought when he could see Bright raise his leg before stomping it on the floor. Energy left Bright's body and blew away every arrows in the area.

All eyes were turned at him" you should really give us something tough not this" he said without looking at the others face.

The dojo's floor shifted and black coloured robots landed into the robots, steels rose from the side of the dojo, and sealed every possible way of escaping.

"Let's see how they handle this?" Stelio muttered

" This should be a walk in the park, hey guys do you mind if I take the leader?" Sam asked

" This is a strong one, I'll take this one" James said while pointing at a plain looking robot.

"I sense nothing out of it, why would you choose something so weak? " Sam questioned, James limited himself to shrug.

" So which one are you up against Bright?" Noah asked

" None, I'm not interested, you guys can have your fill "Bright replied

Within 15 minutes the seal came off and smokes generated from the fight begin to clear, revealing beating ups robot everywhere.

'What? They did that so quickly and without using much of their powers, what did you guys go through to make you improve like so? ' Steilo thought.

They all followed him around and went through various training sessions, before deciding to rest for the day.

" Huff that was great, you guys are wonderful, enjoy your drink and relax, I have some things to do" Stelio said and left.

" I'm so tired" Sam said

" If this is how far we can go then we won't be close to the top, we really need to grow stronger, but it is as if I've hit a stalemate " Noah said in a low voice while staring at his palm." I want to grow stronger, I want to be in a better position, this just didn't seem enough" .

What he said made something click in Brights head. " Guys, about what he said just now, i think I've a way to increase our potentials.

Everyone: ^_^

" Hahahahahaha, Bright really, you are trying to be funny right? But too bad you aren't close, that joke was too expensive, lame and dry " Sam said while laughing. Timmy joined in and they were both laughing.

" Cough cough, I don't know why, but I'm inclined to listen, but first there is no way we can get a hold of an evolution crystal, like the Noble and hidden forced will kill to get their hand on such crystal, making them powerful, but here you are saying you have a means of making us evolve. On a second thought, you were able to permanently increase our base power back on the red planet, so how do you want to go about it? " Noah said calmly.

" At least you're sensible enough to not laugh at my words, to be frank i don't know how to go about it, but it came as a second thought to me, it's more like I came across a secret art or so, you know about the inheritance ground " Bright tried to explain." Let me just follow my instinct on this one"

He told them to join their hands together and hold each other forming a circle, he then told them all to close their eyes and focus.

'System activate ruler inheritance' Bright thought

(Ruler inheritance activated)

(Four followers request has been made, followers oath will be sent to followers, followers will be asked to pledge an oath of loyalty to the ruler)

Everyone could see a message on their line of sight, they were perplexed and it's seems like they were in a trans, a message was been sent to them.

(Ruler has requested for you to join his pack, I'm so doing, you are asked to swear an oath of total loyalty to ruler, words of this shouldn't be heard by anyone, you will be welcomed into the pack and you will be rebuilt)

(Accept or Decline)

'What is this, what does it mean by being rebuilt? ' they all wondered.

Bright broke the connection so they could ponder on it before deciding on what choice to make.

" Why did you break the connection, I was about to accept . " Noah said with a friend

" Same here" James said

" You guys don't need to jump into conclusion, you can think about it later" Bright said

" We accept" they all said in unison.

Bright: (^^)

" Very well then, let's do this." Bright said, he activated the ruler inheritance.

(Accept or Decline)

(Now that you've all choosen to follow the rules, to be able to stand side by side with the ruler in the domination of the universe, followers need to go through an evolution)

(Evolution process will begin in 3.2.1....... brave yourself don't let go)

A purple coloured formation lit up underneath them, it surround all six of them, a massive wave of foriegn energy seeped out if it into the environment, making everything it come across Evolve. A soothing feeling came out if Bright and entered I to each and everyone of them,followed by a severe pain. Loud screams could be heard as the pain wasn't bearable, the formation did a nice job of swallowing every sound in the area.

"Hmm what is this foreign energy and where is it coming from ?" Stelio sensed the energy and ran toward it's direction. He got there and could see five youth in the midst of a formation, four of the shower look of pain and their mouth could be seen opening, which shows that they are screaming and in severe pain.

" What is this and why is he not showing signs of pian like the rest " Stelio got closer to the formation wearily, he tried to see if he could stop whatever was happening. As his hand crossed the purple flames enjoying from the formation, instead of it to burn his hands, it made his hands evolve into it's perfect state.

" Step back, it might hurt you eventually" a voice came from behind him and he could immediately recognize that voice.

" I can't seem to sense any dangerous vibe from it, and besides the look on their faces shows determination, once o sense any dangerous feeling ill stop it immediately" the voice said.

As if the formation was listening on their conversation, it began to spiral about and enlarge outward before converging together and forming a dome over them.

" Shouldn't we stop what's going on now, we can't see what's happening in there" a second voice said.

" Wait, what's this stuff?" the previous voice said.

" I've never seen this and it isn't in our record, never heard of something like this" Stelio said. What they were staring at was a rune.

......................

'(Evolution successful).'

' ( For every new born, a name is required).'

' ( Host is required to give the team a name)

They all opened their eyes and what came in their sight was a purple like dome around them.

" Relax, we are save, there is a problem though" Bright said

" Why could be the problem now, I feel powerful and it's as if I've gone through intense training." Samuel said and the rest nodded in acknowledgement.

" We need a name, a name we can bear in. the shadows" Bright said

" Very simple, we can be called the evolvers. " Sam said

" The rangers. "Timmy said

" The misfits. " James said

" Why are you guys calling something so vague, we need something that just its name can pass a message to anyone or organization" Bright said

" How about ' Hornet ', I guess you all know it's features" Noah voiced out.

Bright stared at Noah and could see the seriousness in his eyes. " Gentle and dangerous an hornet " Bright muttered

Noah smiled, seeing that they had gotten his meaning, the system made a ding sound in Bright's head.

' (pack name has being set) '

' (park name : Hornet) '

' (Members : Ruler, Sam, Noah, James, Timmy) '

*

' (park creation completed) '

" What is this in our body? " Timmy asked

'This is a rune, it's embedded deep into your core, when used with your ability the potential of your abilities grows stronger and generate great results, the more the rune you can draw the stronger your powers become. Note it is a powerful ability meant for all members of the Hornet, if you try to teach others, you'll automatically lose it, and make sure you keep it a secret and use it as a last resort' the androgynous voice of the system said lengthily.

.......................

" It's taking so long, shouldn't we stop what's going on, or aren't they of use to you? " the second voice said.

" Lori relax, I can feel that whatever is going on in there, has being completed" the first voice said

" Okay miss Abbie " Lori said. The dome shook and began to open.

" We have to be prepared for what's to come, we can't possibly take chances" Stelio said while taking a fighting stance. Blasters formed out of his hands, while Lori took out her Trident, the duo were prepared to take anything on. Miss Abbie just stood there with an unbothered expression.
