So, remember that weird voice I heard? Yeah, that was Dr Smith's voice. Except it is not his voice. It is his thought. When I entered the training facility, he thought: What powers does he have?
That was when I responded with " I can use fire and electricity. I am unsure of what the last one was." I was met with Dr Smith's shocked face. "Did… y-you just read my mind?" As it turns out, I could. I had developed that power after my explosion.
(Narrator)
The explosion. When his emotions and power has passed its limit, the Wisp fibres go berserk and desperately try to expel that energy before it kills the host. In turn, this gives Ares immense power. He temporarily loses control. As for what happens afterwards, that will be explained later in the story.

In the room I call the training room, I was alone. Not entirely. There were cameras everywhere to record my moves for data collection. I wanted to test my fire abilities first. I closed my eyes and relaxed my whole body. I was meditating while standing firm. Breathe in, breathe out…
I could feel my consciousness roaming in a sea, a sea of power and energy. This is my energy reserve or my power. I swam deeper and deeper, searching for my fire powers. I grabbed onto an orb of glowing orange flames. Ignite the flames within me!
I opened my eyes, and let out as much power as I could. I created a swirling fire, raging on, devouring whatever it can.I felt myself getting more tired. My energy reserve was being drained quicker than expected. My body and the flames reached 2000 degrees Celsius, the orange flames turned blue and I lost control. This power, however, was only 1% of what I could do. The thing is, 10% was my current limit, so I could not reach my full potential. Not with my current strength. I need to be stronger.
Despite my fatigue, I pushed myself more.
2%...
I was doing it.
5%
I feel unstoppable.
10%
The room was starting to melt. This was my theoretical limit.
20%
I could not stop. I was out of control. The flames in my consciousness consumed me.
50%
I felt a rush of emotions. Sadness, anger and a little bit of hatred.
70%
I was coughing up blood. My mind was hazy as hell.
80%
I could hear alarms go off. There was panic. Chaos everywhere.
90%
Trying… to… stop…
91%... 92%... 93%...
I can't feel my body.
94%... 95%... 96%... 97%... 98%... 99%
I was close to my peak.
100%
I burst out everything in my soul and the flames died out. I stood there, motionless. I could not feel my body. I could not move. I was tired and yet I still stood. That was not all my power. As crazy as it sounds, 100% of my power was not my full power. It was my full power without passing out. My Archangel form could tap into 1000% and above. However, if i go past 100%, I would lose all control, consciousness, and could possibly die. I needed to train a lot.
