The following morning, Mukuso woke the boys up early to train, they thought they would be training in a time bubble but Mukuso said he wanted to change things up a little. He told Horu and Bastra that since they were the ones to lose a portion of their power, they would fight as a way to improve and evolve quicker. He told them that the orbs grow exponentially faster if they train with each other. He then told them that the average level needed to entire K.S Institute was to be able to destroy a planet, so Leeron was already out of the equation.
Horu and Bastra were enraged that their hard earned powers were just gone in an instant, so they made their mind up that they would do anything to get stronger. Then, Mukuso told the boys that the loser won't get a chance to eat. The two boys weren't worried at first because they could go months without food but Mukuso then added, "I will be cooking chicken pork soup with a whole TurkDuck. Mukuso knew that it was the boys favorite food and had intentionally not prepared it for some time. He only fed it to the boys once when they were in the time bubble.
Mukuso made Leeron use his power to create a platform for the boys to fight on. Mukuso then told the boys that the one to fall of the platform loses.
Bastra: I'm sorry Brother, that food is mine.
Horu: Hold your horses boy! That food is mine.
The match started and Horu knew that the only he would win was with his superhuman abilities. He ran around Bastra to try and generate a lightning bolt but no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't generate even a single volt. Bastra took this as a chance to cast a time slowing spell but the same thing happened he was only able to slow Horu down by 25% and at that time Horu was as fast as the speed of sound. This didn't really help Bastra in any way so he cast the spell again but this time with all his magical energy and was able to reduce his speed to his level.
Horu was infuriated at this and noticed that the only way he could have a chance if winning was if he came closer to Bastra and engaged in close combat but Bastra didn't want that to happen. So, he kept on shooting mini fireballs at Horu to keep him at a distance away from him but even though Bastra's attacks were fast, Horu always had a sixth sense that just unconsciously moved his body away from danger even before he had the orb's powers. He never told his brothers about this sixth sense of his so Bastra was worried that his attack speed was too slow for Horu. Horu then closed the gap between him and Bastra and they engaged in close combat, Bastra wasn't "new" to close combat and he was quite formidable but not on the level of Horu.
This made Bastra very mad as he was being beaten quite easily, he touched Horu in the stomach and shot him with a fireball sending him back. After sending him back, he shouted "YA NE SLAB!!!!". Horu thought Bastra was about to cast a spell but he then noticed that Bastra was growing stronger, until....
Bastra: Congratulations Bastra, you have evolved!
Now, the tables have turned. Horu went forward to close the gap again but he realised that all of a sudden, Bastra already improved in close combat and was matching him. This shocked him very much and wasn't thinking straight until Bastra told him, "WAKE UP TO REALITY BROTHER, I AM STRONGER NOW"
Then Horu realized that Bastra had evolved, he thought that was it and almost gave up but something brought him back, he looked at Mukuso's face and he whispered, "Grow stronger Horu, this is your story and no one can take it away from you". Horu then looked up at Bastra who was shit a massive fireball at him. Before it could come into contact with him, he said, "Sila Zevsa".
The fireball hit him and there was a huge smoke wall. Bastra went forward to throw him off the stage until he saw two frightening glowing white eyes, glowing white hair and his chest glowing. When the smoke cleared, Bastra saw a different person, he saw that Horu's face was filled to the brim with rage and fear engulfed his heart. He shot a fireball at him but he easily avoided it. He shot many at a time but Horu still avoided it easily. Horu instantly moved right infront of Bastra, and delivered a small punch to his stomach. The punch sent him flying. Horu tapped out of that godly form and felt dizzy, he thought he saw the sun running towards him but it was Bastra who shot a last gasp fireball in efforts to knock Horu off as well and shockingly, it worked.
So, the two brothers both fell off and Mukuso declared both of them the winner. Leeron went down to pick his two brothers up and brought them to Mukuso. Mukuso healed the two and they got up like nothing ever happened. Mukuso then congratulated them because just this one fight was enough to push them to their limits and grow stronger.
Horu asked Mukuso about the power that he tapped into. Then Explaining Senpai Mukuso said
Mukuso: There are a total of 8 Cores. And they are all powers drawn from gods. At least, that's what some people think, the Cores don't draw power FROM the gods, the cores ARE the gods. The colors are; Red,Yellow,Blue,Pink, White, Black, Green and Purple. I have the Green core. Horu, you have the white core, the strongest core, Bastra has the Red core and Leeron has the blue core. I gained information that the rest of the cores have fused with people and all of them are at K.S Institute.
Bastra: So, you want us to go there and recruit them to our team?
Mukuso: Yes and no. K.S Institute is where the wannabe heroes are, they built the school, so you should watch out for them. But yes, you are going there mainly to recruit the others and train your cores.
Leeron: It's gonna be so fun!
Horu: A New adventure awaits us at K.S Institute.
