On Seth's computer, he was calling his parents.
Soon, they answered, and a man with light brown hair and purple eyes was on the screen. He smiled upon seeing Seth's face. "Seth, how have you been."
Seth smiled and answered happily. "I'm fine, how are you and mom."
William had a complicated expression on his face. He scratched his cheek and said. "Your mom is at her family's planet and dealing with things with her family, but she should come back tomorrow, and we should come back to earth the day after."
Seth was surprised, his parents were returning in two days, and he smiled brightly. "That's great. Which planet are you on right now? The last time I called you war at Vector—Alpha."
"Oh, I'm at my factions planet, Vector—Prime, you should join my student program after you graduate from school. I'm only accepting ten students, and after you graduate in three years, you can choose to join my faction or even take up my position as Head of the Vector faction." William smiled when he thought of taking his son as his student. He would spend more quality time with him.
Seth flinched before slowly speaking. "But...I don't have any abilities...well not really."
William was instantly intrigued by his last sentence. "What do you mean by that son?."
Seth hesitated before gaining the confidence to talk to him. "Some days ago, there was a seed on your test tube, and I happened to accidentally prick my finger on one of its spikes, and a drop of my blood landed on it, and the seed latched onto my finger and entered into my body and now a sentient alien plant parasite is attached to me."
William froze up with a smile on his face. Slowly, he raised his arm and put it under his chin with contemplation. "Well, your mother is probably going to kill me, but I never thought this mutated seed had a mind of it's own, when we first extracted it, it was inside the belly of a large tree that was draining everything that had life around it and it was a separate entity from the seed, the tree was a beast a team of mine killed and was ranked at...let's see, I would rank it at the level of Calamity-class, anyways I never thought the seed was a plant parasite, is it dangerous?."
His father was unsurprisingly calm about his son being parasatized by an unknown creature. It wasn't really surprising he would react this way, William had a strange past. "Uhm, no, she's actually cute and is a bit easy to anger, but she means well, Thally say high."
On the other end of the screen, William observed Seths widened arm, right in his palm, a green root like structure twisted until it formed the visage of a girlie entity with a seemingly human looking body and green eyes, the 'girl' was wearing a dress made entirely of vines, roots and green leaves. She waved her hand at William and said. "Hello, I'm Thally, and I'm Seth's partner or parasite. Our relationship isn't really confirmed."
She shrugged. William was astonished. He had never seen such a thing before, and it fascinated him. He muttered, "Interesting, your fusion seems different from the forced assimilation of human and beasts from the Illuminai Faction."
Seth blinked. "Forced assimilation, what do you mean by that dad?."
William looked at Seth and waved his hands at him. "Forget about that, just don't ever associate yourself with that faction. You understand?."
Seth looked suspiciously at his dad, but he still nodded his head. If his dad warned him, it must be something dangerous. "Ok, I will never associate with the illuminai Faction."
William nodded in satisfaction and then spoke. "By next month, you should be graduating from high school so you can follow me to Vector—Prime and you can invite a few of your friends to join my classes, and I can observe your little partner."
William took a crystal from his desk and played with it. "Maybe she can bring about a few mysteries concerning some things on Vecote Prime."
Thally stared at the glowing blue crystal on Williams' arm with an almost Predatory gaze. Noticing her attention, William moved the beast crystal, and Thally's eyes followed. He moved it up, and Thally's eyes followed once more. With a smile, he asked thally a question. "Do you want to eat this?."
Thally unconsciously nodded, her eyes dazed.
Sensing her strange behaviour and his fathers words, he looked at Thalky before coming up with a slight realization. "A beast core, huh? I wonder what would happen if you consumed one."
"I don't care about that, I just want to eat it. Can I have it. "Thally immediately replied. Seth lips twitched at her bluntness.
William laughed. "Don't worry, I'll bring back a bag full of it for you in a few days, but I can only give you the Cores of Mortal Class beasts. Okay then, seth, see you in two days. "
After saying that, the call ended, and Seth looked at Thally's fair skin. "You can look human?."
Thally turned to him with her brows raised and her arms folded across her chest. "It's not hard changing the colour of my body. I'm literally connected to you, and if I wanted, I could look like you or a female version of you."
Seth squinted his eyes and tapped her head with the finger of his other arm.
Thally's cheeks were pushed, and she was glaring Intently at seth. Without a moment of hesitation, she escaped his finger and appeared above his finger. With a single moment, she lunged and bit him hard.
Thus, that night, Seth experienced terror comparable to multiple termite attacks on his skin.
____The Next Day____
Seth woke up with a groan on his bed. It was like he was bitten by numerous ants, which, considering Thally's assault and her sharp teeth, then yes, it was like being bitten by numerous ants.
"Good morning." He said in a slightly depressed voice.
Thally who was happily humming in her pot greeted him back. "Good morning Seth, how was the night."
Seth gave Thally an annoyed gaze and did not reply to her. He stood up from bed and immediately went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and take a bath after coming out with a towel wrapped around his waist. He dried himself and got ready for school.
He picked up Thally and let her sit in his shoulder and gave her a large bug to shut her mouth up while he went downstairs to make breakfast. He didn't have time to waste, so he just made scrambled eggs and ate it with bread and then washed it all down with tea.
After leaving the house and locking the door and swiftly going to school.
After arriving at school, Seth went to his class and sat on his seat. Strangely, Jake seemed to ignore him and just tapped on his phone.
Did his little speech from a few days actually work, and he didn't want to fight him again, Thally was not on his shoulder and he quickly remembered that no one knew he had abilities at school...well he might as well keep that a secret.
Soon, Emily arrived at school, and she was on her on her seat, which was next to seth. The two began talking, but if people were to see them, they would think they were a distinctive trio, a bully with powers, a powerless guy, and a girl with powers, a splendid combination.
_____Meanwhile_____
[Secrore 35—Planet no 034.]
"If I was a bat, I would probably scream at how loud this planet was." A man with silver hair and eyes said with a sigh.
Yalen has landed upon a habitable planet in Sector 35 of the Middle galaxy, a galaxy between the Milky Way and Andromeda.
His ability is vibration manipulation, and he is a monarch rank ability user, one of the ten in all of humanity and can be considered the peak of humanity.
He was currently on this planet to do a single thing, and that was kill Beasts and harvest their cores. In fact, a few mortal class and abnormal class beasts have already begun wildly coming towards him.
Yalen wore two silver gauntlets with a glowing red crystal at both arms. He was wearing a silver and white trenchcoat, and underneath it was silver armour. He cracked his neck and, with a grin, stomped his foot on the ground and blasted towards the horde of low-level beasts.
All the beasts on this planet were insect types, and upon contact with Yalens fists and palms, they exploded into a bloody mess due to the high frequency vibrations, leaving only their beast Cores on the ground.
Using his advanced boxing skills to fight the beasts, he was done killing them all within moments.
Mortal Class
Abnormal Class.
Ruler Class
Catastrophe class.
Calamity Class.
Cataclysm Class
Apocalypse class
"The new rank designation given by the world council was not bad." Yalen smiled as he stretched. The World Council was there to keep the balance of ability users in check and ensure all factions are registered and dangerous ability users like him don't go on a rampage, his twin sister was a main member of the council and thinking about her...she must be complaining about being stuck with old people.
The two were quite young, twenty isn't the time of their late stages.
Either way, he would most definitely have to take her out for ice cream when he goes back to earth.
Seeing the beast, Cores littered around him, he used a device resembling a phone and told his extraction crew to take care of them.
He wanted to go further into this planet and try finding some Calamity Class beasts. As a Monarch Ranked ability user, Yalen wants a wild and unpredictable fight.
He blasted off into the distance forest, crushing weaker level beings by his vibrations.
On his way, he met some catastrophe and ruler class beasts that died like struggling bugs.
Yalen suddenly felt danger and stopped. He jumped back just in time before a blue flame crashed where he originally stood.
A long pale tail floated above, and it was connected to a woman with spiral looking irises in her two eyes and two horns that had blue flame floating in the middle.
The girl was wearing a black looking metal jacket and a silver skirt. She had boots that were too long for her legs, and she grinned when looking down at Yalen. Her white hair was fluttering in the air.
Yalen smiled and pointed at the girl. "Who might you be even though we now there are chances of extraterrestrials existing, I don't think you are one."
The girl tilted her head and spoke lightly. "You speak the universal language so your race is advanced and dodging my attack was no simple act, what is the name of your race."
"...Wait you're actually ab alien, well that's surprising, anyways you're asking what the name of my race is and not me, how rude. But I will introduce myself." Yalen jumped up towards the girl and floated in front of her.
"My name is Yalen, a Monarch Ranked ability user of Human kind, the peak of my race is standing in front of you alien, are you going to kill me?."
The alien girl chuckled, her tail waed around, and her eyes wondered around Yalens eyes before talking. "Your gear is...advanced. It's on par with the technology of my race. Also , I have no use for such barbaric methods. Our race just formed a base in this small galaxy in order for us to enter our neighbours galaxy. By your reaction, you have not met any aliens in your galaxy, or you have not yet fully explored your galaxy."
Yalen was disappointed. He thought he might fight someone strong. "Yeah, the council doesn't think we should waste our resources on planets that are unhabitable. We just go to planets with beasts on them and extract resources to advance out technology."
Yalen did not care that he was telling a foreign being about what his race was doing. Anyone could find that out.
The alien girl nodded. "That is normal. As we are in a friendly conversation for now, I think it would be beneficial if our race and yours form an alliance."
