Outside training ground:9:23 AM 9th February
Xavier stands with his back propped against the wall, Kazama walks out, finally ready to get some training. "Hey, we have to get this started quick, we're 10 days behind." Xavier says as he hustles into the middle of the training grounds. "Sure, whatever." Kazama says, his face emotionless as he shunties over to the middle. "Hey you good? You've been like this the last couple days." Xavier asks as he begins to stretch, Kazama throws off his hoodie, "Lets just fight already."
Kazama throws himself at Xavier "DAWN RENDER!!!" Kazama uses the purple heat attack that eviscerated Jack on Xavier. Xavier simply dodges the blast of air, Kazama falls over, out of breath. Unfortunately Xavier won't give him a chance to breathe as he jumps in and tries to stomp Kazama's head. Kazama manages to jump out of the way. "Wow, your body is getting more used to Purple Heat already." Xavier remarks, flying back in.
Kazama blocks the flurry of attacks raining down on him, "DAWN IMPACT…" Xavier tries to block it, as he expects it to be a simple Blue Heat attack, until he sees the Blue Heat turn purple. Xavier tries to dodge, but Kazama punches him in the face. Xavier flies black from the impact, blood flying from his mouth, "Heh, you're definitely strong… 10% Isn't enough anymore…" he stands up and stretches "You, my good si-""speed it up already, let's get back to training" … "Whatever, Mr Grumpy pants. 15%!" Kazama could definitely feel a difference in the power, just the sheer difference in the pressure of heat emanating from him.
Kazama braces himself, but like a demon, Xavier flies towards Kazama with godly speed. Kazama switches to a full block, but it doesn't work.
Xavier's knee collides with his head, and almost instantaneously Kazama is knocked out.
Xavier looks at Kazama's unconscious body which was clearly choking on blood, Xavier picks him up and tries to clear his airways. After a few seconds of messing around Kazama can breathe perfectly.
Meeting Room:1 PM 9th February
Xavier was weirdly called into an emergency meeting with the commander of the CIA compound, he goes in and seats himself at the table. The room was very grandiose, multiple banners lined the room, and at the front was the desk where the commander sat, the window behind him making it difficult to discern his features.
But with some effort he was able to. This was only the second time Xavier had met the commander, the first was his indoctrination into the CIA, and now this was the second. All he remembers from the first time was "The Induction Ceremony" Which is just seeing how many punches you can take from the commander.
The only piece of information he knew about the commander was that he was one of the '6 Disciples' which was a cringy name given to the 6 strongest heat users in the world, these people would be called upon in the case that another 'Incendium' spawned.
Only 3 Incendium have ever spawned, beasts born of Heat that cause devastation. The first one killed 3 billion people, but that was in 1856, before many Heat users existed. Actually in that incident a single man took it out, we only know him as 'God's Soldier' he appeared 50 minutes after the creature spawned, and it was done reportedly in one punch.
Apparently the governments back then took this as a sign to stop reproducing as much, as the human population was 10 billion in the 1850's.
The next one spawned in 1902 and reaped 1 billion 980 million lives, this time the '6 disciples' of 'God's Soldier' stopped it in 12 minutes. See after the first one revolutions happened all over the globe 7 years after, and these new governments had a new idea, that they needed to reproduce even more, so that if another spawned there would be more people to fight it. So when this one spawned there were 15 million people on the planet.
This 'God's Soldier' fellow trained 6 people in his way of heat, these people were so far ahead of everyone else in terms of heat, it was laughable. After a while the 6 disciples were just a group of the 6 strongest people in the world.
There was a weird trend, the first one was by far the weakest out of the three, it was called 'Ultima Tempestas' Latin for 'Final Storm'. The second one, which was way stronger than the first, was called 'Infernum Terrae', Latin for 'Eternal Night'. And the third one, as is about to be detailed, was by far the strongest. It was called 'Aeterna Noctis' Eternal Night, for the amount of people it killed.
November 19th 1970 was the day Aeterna Noctis striked. In 15 seconds 500 million people were dead. In 30 seconds 2 billion + 3 of the 6 disciples. In 1 minute 10 billion + all 6 disciples. 1 minute 12 seconds into its rampage, Watsuji Ryosei clashes with it, they both die from the impact. Everyone knows that without Watsuji Ryosei's sacrifice…
The world would've died…
Xavier stands in front of one of the six strongest men in the world, "Sir, what would you like me to do?" He asks timidly, "Ah… What's your name? I hate talking to men… oh yeah, Mater!" His face lights up.
The commander was a fat tub of lard, 3 chins in the place of a neck, his arms 30 cm thick. His massive bald spot coating the top of his head seemed to shine the light coming from the window so much that it looked like it was burning.
"Um, sir that's not-" "I don't think I've talked to you since your induction ceremony Mater!" The ball of fat called a 'person' crawls out of the chair to shake Xavier's hand. "Yeah… That's right commander… Black?" "Well Mater, I have a mission only you can do… The Turkish gang Kara Kartal has stolen an artifact from us…"
Xavier always hated going on missions, even though due to his strength he never had to go on many.
"...There was this stone mined in the depths, it radiated immense white heat." "Wait… White Heat!?" "Yes, only transformed can wield that level of heat, the human body combusts instantaneously. Well the Great Elders examined it and came to the conclusion that…"
The Great Elders are a group of monk's trained by the current God's Soldier. They can enter a Realm called the 'Heat Realm' it is a realm brimming with 'Heat monsters' the weakest, 'Flagra' the middle, and Incendium, but there are also warriors there, capable of defending against these beasts.
The first time you enter the heat realm, you are put into a scenario with fake people, and either a Heat Monster, Flagra, or Incendium attack you, or the group you're in. If you can defeat the beast, you escape the scenario, and you're much stronger.
These scenarios are called nightmares, and after you complete 5 of them, each harder than the last, you can enter the heat realm. The Great Elders in their prime would be stronger than the 6 disciples, but they're all so old after doing 5 nightmares that they would lose in a fight.
Back to the conversation in hand. Commander Black shifts about as he utters "...In the wrong hands, they could enter the Heat Realm, and bring an Incendium back to the real world…"
