Chereads / INSIGNIA : The Starlight bearer / Chapter 2 - Starlight Baptism

Chapter 2 - Starlight Baptism

After several days they were managed to settle on this new unknown planet.

"John, the food will not last longer than a year. We must find another supply" Ave tells John while she is checking the food reserve in the ship.

"Let me think out something. Do you think They can help us?"

"It's not appropriate for us to start asking them for help. Why don't we try to plant some tree from the specimen?"

"Ah yes, why am I'm forgetting about that"

Then they start to plant some three around the ship, it's appeared that the planet soil is full of energy. The plants are growing with some speed that they have never seen before.

After several months on the planet, there was no asteroid falling to the planet for time being. Ave right now is in process of birthing his baby.

Suddenly there the ground is trembling. It turns out there were big asteroids that fall to the planet and landed near the ship.

Ave is in the middle of giving birth and John is helping, they have ignored the situation.

From the fallen asteroid appears two big lizard monsters and walks near to the ship.

Before they get 100 meters to the ship, Stella and Sidius appear blocking their way.

"How can these two cosmic fiends come to us?" Stella stares at the two beasts with a vicious look.

"It looks like they were attracted by the star materials we collected".

The monster looks at Stella and Sidius with a fierce look and starts to barge into their location.

The fight began with two stations and two monsters. The destruction wave around their fight creates massive shockwaves and a trembling ground.

"Sidius, can you handle this alone? That human looks need protection. I will cast a shield around their ship"

"All right, this Fiend only level 50, even there are 4 of them are not match with my power"

Sidius level power is currently at level 77.

And Stella is withdrawn from the battle ring goes inside the ship and starts casting a light shield around the ship.

The situation inside the ship is calming down because of the shield and Ave can give birth peacefully.

When the baby is born, the baby is start glowing with white color. The light becomes bigger and covers all around in 10 meters distance and still growing.

"What? How can be starlight baptism from human born?" Stella looks confused with the situation.

"Sidius, Come back! This newborn has starlight baptism. We need to protect it!" Stella yells at Sidius.

"What! The heck is going on!" Sidius go back to the ship with haste leaving two injured monsters.

When Sidius enter the range of the white light, a black territory appears beneath them.

The black territory seems to suck the power and level.

"Stella, what happens?"

"I don't know, I thought this newborn human has starlight baptism. But right now, it's drawing our power"

"Ah! Shit! Why does this happen to me! All this time cultivating my powers right now is consumed"

While their power is sucked down, the two-monster get closer to the ship. They get weaker, realizing that their level also drops.

From level 77 dropped to 50 and still going.

The monsters get near them open the big mouth and want to eat weakened Stella and Sidius.

When they can feel the monster's breath in their faces, suddenly there were 6 colors of light exploding from the baby and covering 100 meters from the baby.

When the pillar of the colors struck the monster, the monster's body is transformed into a star beast with a lizard shape. The light purifies the monster's body and turn back into their original shape.

Stella and Sidius fell, and their power all decreased to 1.

"Sidius, thanks for all these years. It's proving out that you are more thrust worthy than my kind" Stella speaks with a weak voice.

"It's an honor to be with you" Sidius replied with a smile on his face.

And their level dropped to zero and they lost consciousness. While Stella and Sidius lose their consciousness the colors are covering Stella and Sidius's bodies crystallized with the shape like an egg.

The Colours are still spreading and covering all the planet and all the plants and anything on the planet is transformed into colorful light.

After one hour, John started to wake up and still stand while holding his baby.

"What happens? Are you okay honey?"

"I'm okay, how about the baby?"

"It looks like the baby is in good condition"

"What happens to them?" Ave starts to realize that Stella and Sidius are transformed into crystal eggs.

"I don't know, let's wait for a little longer"

...

After 6 hours, the crystal egg is start to crack, Stella and Sidius are alive with newly transformed bodies.

"What happens? What with this stripe along our body?" Sidius looked confused with his body.

"This… is the shape of ULTRAS" Stella looks at her stripe and realizes something.

"ULTRAS? Are you mean that we become ULTRAS?"

"The stripe and the halo marks around our star marks it's the sign of ULTRA"

"What? Ha Ha Ha. This is a blessing!"

"What happened to you guys? Are you okay?" John starts questioning them.

"HaHaha…, it's better than okay! We are upgraded!" Sidius talks with pride.

"Oh… Thanks to that your guys are okay." Ave talks with relief.

"And what is this?" John point to two light shapes like a lizard.

"That's is star beast sources, it seems that light before purifying them to their original form" Stella was just aware while looking to the two-star beast sources.

Suddenly the two-star beast sources fly and struck to John and Ave. After the strike, John and Ave got a mark like a lizard tattoo on their hand.

"What is this?" John is worried while looking at his hand.

"It's a Star mark or some called Star Insignia, the Star sources will choose their partners. That means you guys are starlight users"

"What does that mean?"

"It means that you guys become powerful. Let's us teach you to cultivate the starlight power"

"Hey Stella, if we are now ULTRAS that means we can go back to the First ring," Sidius asked.

"Even though now we are ULTRAS, our power is back to ground level. And we need to help them back to their system, Afterall this can be happened because of the" Stella smile to John and Ave.

"Yeah, thanks to you guys. I never dreamed that I can be ULTRAS, we will teach you everything we know to make you great among your kind" Sidius thankful and determined.

"Okay, right now stabilize your power."

After John and Ave stabilize their new power, they go out from the ship and are shocked by the views.

"What is going on? Why all the surroundings become like this?" Ave amazed.

The planet now is like a rain forest with spread powerful lively aura.

"It looks like, your child baptism energized our body"

Latter Stella explained that this planet it's only asteroids that are used for patching her wounds, after several 1000 years the asteroids become like a planet with no living things. All the plants that appear are from the specimen that Ave plant to the planet. The water that streams around is from the Stella powers.

"In this condition, we can try to use our fauna specimen" Ave proposed.

"Yeah, that means we can get protein from the meat" John becomes excited.

"Do anything that you like, but remember this is only my temporary body. After we managed to take you guys back to the system, we will leave the body"

Then Ave took some of her fauna specimens and drop at the near river. When she is at the river edge her pendant is glowing with blue light.

Ave took his pendant from his neck and look it. She is now a starlight insignia; she can feel the presence of energy that his pendant gives out.

"Where do you get this source?" Stella was beside her all along.

"This is star source? This is my planet Levian Essence that was given by our mother" Ave is still amazed at her pendant.

"This is not a complete star source, it's only a part of it. But from the energy that gives out, it looks like it comes from high star sources"

"Somehow this source is compatible with my energy, could you lend me the source?"

Then Ave gives Stella the pendant. Stella examines the source cautiously then she mumbles "Are these same sources?" And then she put the pendant into the river.

The pendant glows more drastically and gives out a powerful energy. The give-out energy spread on the river and change the river color into a more clear blue. Right now, the river it's become more clear and the bottom is visible.

While the river becomes clearer, Stella's aura gives out more energy. It's turned out that the pendant source increased Stella's level. After Stella transforms into ULTRAS her level returns to 1 and after synthesizing with the sources her level is increased to 10.

Suddenly Sidius and John arrive at Stella's location.

"What is going on? How can you increase your level to 10?" Sidius ask with envious looks.

Then Stella explained the situation and show Sidius the pendant.

"Are this is…? " Sidius look aware of something.

"I don't know, we can find out later after we go to her home planet" Stella answered with a concerned look.

John suddenly asks "Are the specimen works?"

"Ah, I almost forget about it."

Then Ave starts to pour some specimens from the tube into the river. The specimen become livelier inside the river and evolved with drastic speed. After a while Ave start to pour every specimen she had and look at the last tube.

The last tube is cracked from the energy attack they had in the black hole, but surprisingly the specimen it's still a good condition. Then Ave starts to pour the last tube.

The specimen on the last tube is a very small cell, but when it hit the river it pops into the size of a marble. After the specimen grew into the size of a marble, it's flying out the rivers and glowed like a firefly and swirl around and flew away.

They chased the fireflies back to the ship; the firefly starts to swirl around on the top of the baby. The baby seems happy with the fireflies and then the firefly landed softly on the baby's chest.

"It looks like the things attracted to the baby. Anyway, what name do you give to the baby?" Stella asked John.

"Let the baby is called Astrum Levian Dux" John looks at the baby with a happy face.
