Stand Against the Storm!

*Everyone in the Shadow felt hell during this 3 month of hard training. Most of them collapse in the first month, except those who have a stronger physic, mental, and will to survive the training. In their 2nd month of training, they quickly adapt to the hellish environment and training, and found themselves a lot stronger than the previous month. Most of their 3rd month was spent with their families, and loved ones, but those who doesn't have family anymore continues to train 3 times harder than the previous month.*

*The Hunter Association trained their coordination, and their powers harder than ever. They were putting their mind, heart, and soul in every attack they do. Most of the members of the Hunter Association lost their family because of the Demish. They were in on it for 2 months of training and for themselves move as one and stronger than ever. Their 3rd month was spent on training their abilities, and mind individually.*

*The Government has the most relaxed training regimen compared to other factions; they even have time to party once a week. This complacency is due to their development of a railgun capable of harnessing and amplifying the powers of others, creating a massive, destructive force. However, it can only be used once, so they developed multiple units and ensure each is fully charged before use. By monopolizing the world's power, they boast a larger pool of more powerful members than any other group. Despite this advantage, there are still some members who train relentlessly, like General Donovan, who are driven by the desire to defeat their enemies by their own hands, preferring to rely on their strength rather than the Government's weapons.*

*Three months has gone by, and the TIME has COME *

*Three massive portals appear in the same spot where it appeared 3 months ago, and a massive ship was detected outside the earth's atmosphere*

*All alarms, sirens, and emergency notifications blare, blasting through the eardrums of everyone nearby*

*Shadow/Hunter Association/Government*

"EVERYONE, ON YOUR POSITION AND BE PREPARED!" All leaders readied their groups.

*Keane with his 2nd and 3rd division commanders went to face the massive ship, leaving 4th commander in command against the massive portal*

*Donovan now has his new mechanical arm, together with his right-hand man arrived a short while after Keane and his group arrived at the scene, they both were carrying gun-like weapon on each arm*

*Rain together with two young men arrived at the scene from above. They were wearing cloak with something written behind them. LIGHT was inscribed behind the Rain, YIN was written in white mixed with black behind Haku's back, and YANG was written at the back of Kuro*

*The Strongest Humans arrived in front of the massive ship*

"Hey Nate. It seems like these 'Demish' creature is more civilized than most humans here." Donovan talks to his Right-hand man loudly, making sure he was heard by everyone.

*Nate is one of Donovan's sergeant, who uses wind magic power. He has the same attitude as Donovan, which is why they get along really well*

"Yes Sir. They arrived at exactly 3 months after their declaration. To me, they are more true to their words than humans." Nate agrees to Donovan while inputting his own thought.

"Right?" Donovan looks at the Shadow faction with a smug face.

"Hey Orc-man in uniform! Looks like you lost your left hand during the last battle. That guy by your side, is he supposed to be your left hand now?" Kuro mocks them by wiping his butt using his left hand.

"Hey Shadow guy, I can't believe you're bringing kids to war. Are they your meat shield?" Donovan taunts the Rain.

"LOL! We'll see about that you Orc." Kuro was about to launch an attack to Donovan when to ground shakes.

"Kuro! Focus and get ready!" Haku warns Kuro while activating his Yang powers.

*Everyone gets on their position*

*A dim light starts to descend from the ship*

*When the dim light gets on the ground, they could see a huge human-like creature with wings*

*Standing five meters tall with a glowing white skin, 3 white horns, and its eyes were covered with a white looking piece of cloth, and it has pointy ears. Four glowing wings of black and white colors were on its back flapping slowly. He was wearing cavalry armor, and has a tail that looks like that of a white dragon's tail. Its demonic aura can suffocate those who have a weak mind and body*

"Humans." The creature talks.

"I believed I had given you enough time to vacate this tiny planet of yours. And yet, you are here in front of me. If anyone was to blame anyone for this stupidity of yours, blame yourselves." The creature in front of them was the King of Demish, 'King Niut'.

*Its voice was effortlessly loud, and in its every word, blows a heavy wind towards the human groups*

*Everyone was intimidated by the King's aura, but they suppressed it*

*The first to attack was Reid Crimson*

"You talk a lot for someone who's about to DIE!" Reid Crimson shouted as he throws his spear with all his might.

*Reid Crimson is the 3rd division commander of the Hunter Association, and the one who killed the Demish's messenger with a spear. He has a red hair, a bearded face that looks like it wasn't shaved in a long time, a muscular physic, and he brings with him his bag with four golden spears. He prefers hand-to-hand combat, he only uses his spears to test his enemy's power. He has a powerful telekinesis and strength, which is a great power contrast*

*The spear that he threw travels in a lightning speed. But to their surprise, the spear was shattered before it can reach the King's body while the King didn't move in its place*

*The next to attack was the 2nd Division Commander with her powerful Ice Magic*

"CRASHING ICEBERG!" Norma releases a massive Ice towards King Niut.

*Norma Foster is the 2nd division commander of the Hunter Association, she had a bluish hair in ponytail, uses katana and has a powerful Ice magic power. John was the 1st division commander but Norma is a little stronger and powerful than John. Keane appoints John as their 1st division commander because Keane saw the leadership, and the willingness to protect humanity in John, and he's also Keane's first companion*

*The King flaps his wings and destroyed the massive Iceberg*

"Ha! I never thought you guys were so weak, you can't even reach its body! How can you even kill it?" Donovan ridicules everyone's effort, and prepare his own attack.

"Take this! RAIL GUN!"

*Wirl!* *Wirl!* *POW!*

*The first gun he used immediately broke down after being used*

*The attack reach the King, but everyone could see that the attack causes no damage to its body*

"My turn!" with an effortlessly loud voice the King flew and launched its attack.

"Everyone get ready!" Keane shouted to everyone.

*The King gathered a huge white energy ball, and shoots it towards the human group in a very fast speed*

*Rain, the Shadow founder whose body was now emitting light, gathered his energy and met the King's attack which he cuts through and shattered it*

*Everyone was in shock to see how strong the Shadow founder is, including the King Niut*

"Looks like some of you are useful to my conquest." King Niut spoke midair.

"Why don't you work for me, and we can negotiate the terms and conditions. I could give you your little planet back but in exchange you need to work for me." King Niut offers to leave the planet as their signing bonus.

"For how long?" Rain asks King Niut.

"As long as you live to prove your worth, you and your kind will be safe. Peace in your little world will be a normal thing again. Not a bad offer, right?" King Niut speaks in midair with his arms open.

"How can we assure that you will honor your word?" Keane asks King Niut.

"And how do you take responsibility for the lives you've taken like it was not a big of a deal? And what about their family? How can you take back the tragic lives that you've given to them?" Keane was furious at the thought that all the efforts and the lives sacrificed by humans would be wasted if they submitted to the very entity they sought to destroy.

"Human, I don't have to be the reason for every suffering you have encountered. You suffered because you are weak." King Niut doesn't care about the weak. Survival of the fittest is the environment he was raised in.

"HAHAHA! You're hilarious, who do you think you are to make that decision for us!? You're just a pest who keeps destroying our world!" Donovan laughs in fury. Being an underling is what he hates the most.

"Why don't you just die? Peace is more enjoyable if there is no threat pending and waiting to blow once more!!" Donovan, along with his right-hand man, fires the remaining three railguns simultaneously at King Niut, amplifying the power threefold.

*Wirl* *Wirl* *POW!* *POW!* *POW!*

* King Niut tries to evade the attack but it was so fast that it reach him in an instant*

*The attack causes an explosion*

 *The moment the smoke clears out, they could see that the King's ear was cut and was starting to regenerate*

*Everyone saw that the King took damage, but after his ear regenerated, they could feel that he was slightly stronger that before*

"I gave you multiple chances to change your fate, yet you chose to oppose me. Now all of you will suffer death!" King Niut, now enraged, unleashes a powerful counterattack, overwhelming Donovan and his right-hand man.

*The shockwave from the King's strength shook the battlefield, and everyone hesitates, unsure whether to continue the fight or not. Donovan, driven by his desire to destroy the King look towards Rain. At the same moment, Keane, sensing the pivotal role Rain could play, turned his gaze towards him, eager to see what decision Rain would make next*

*Donovan and Keane both recognized Rain as the strongest*

*With a fierce expression, Rain nodded, and together, they all launch an attacked on the King in unison*
