Last chapter, Kodan promised to defeat a Commander in the timespan of one year- however Restroid seems to be completely against Kodan's plans, and wishes to use his own methods to fufill his master's dreams. Six months later, Kodan stormed a hotel full of unarmed Hopian Army members in order to make a fool out of them, for the purpose of advertising the Red Fists to new potential recruits.

Kodan's P.O.V.

One month of training and recruiting later, inside of the Red Fists training area...

🥊🤖🥊

Just as Metallica bolts towards me and tries to uppercut me for once, I use my gravity manipulation to pull myself up and backwards- then I stop myself midair, and force myself down and forwards, as I stretch my ironclad legs out towards King who I'm flying down at-

*CLANG- BOOM!*

I slam my feet down into Metallica's shoulders, which with the help of my gravity manipulation lets me slam him down onto the ground, and pin him with a little bit of adjustments.

"Phew! I can't even keep up with you anymore pal- well done! My bolts must be getting rusty, YASHASHASHA- ah who am I kidding, your just as great as I am pal!" King admits which flatters me a little, since he's normally so prideful and all. It is deserved though, since he hasn't beaten me for 30 fights in a row now- well besides when I've, ACTUALLY, let him win a few on purpose.

"Haha- thanks man, good fight. Can't fucking wait until my Hesalo armor finally gets finished though, I'm gonna be a monster with it!" I say with a grin as I lower my hand down to help King stand back up with, and I'm able to pull him up super easily like usual.

Anyways- I've been waiting months for the armor set to be finished. Hesalo weighs a LOT and is almost indestructable. So, we had to resort to picking up the shards of it that were left over, from when King Metallica made this giant hole in the ground our base is in. So long story short there's been a shitton of hype around this armor set, and yeah I'm definitely one of the hyped ones- can only wonder why.

A few more months of training and prayers later...

💎💎💎

"Alright Kodan- so? How does it feel on you? Fit well...?" Galan asks as I slip on the final green headpiece to my armor set. The rest of me is already covered in armor, which is all made of the super hard and heavy green metal, Hesalo, as well.

"Breathe- don't shit yourself." I think to myself as I make sure to keep calm, so that my gravity manipulation powers stay on, and makes it so that the armor weighs nothing to me. Since if I panic- the suit of badass armor will suddenly weigh the two tons it really is, and yeah at that point I'll be crushed like a pancake.

But- I think I'm ok now... so I give the blacksmiths a thumbs up who are standing around me, and they instantly start to cheer.

"Not too loud, don't excite him too much!" Mont scolds the other 'smiths, which is probably for the better since I'm swinging my arms up too now, and I can already feel the armor start to get heavier on me. I take a deep breath and put my arms down to counteract it though.

"Great job, guys. Now then- don't mind me." I say as I start to walk- and it seems like they can hear me through the mouth part of my helmet, that's basically just a bunch of lines of Hesalo that are next to each other. The important part is though it lets me breathe- but AHHH YEAH I'M WALKING, IT FEELS SO NATURAL TOO!!!

"This is so cool!!!" I shout as I start to run, but I'm a dumbass because that excitement makes me lose focus and makes me fall to the ground as my gravity manipulation gets weaker.

"Easy Kodan. You remember the safeguard we have in place just in case this is too much for you, right?" Johnny asks me and I nod as I try to get calmer again. Right- if I say "get me out", a teleporter that's attached to my hip under my armor will activate and bring me back to base.

On that note we sure have advanced a fuckton like I'd hoped for. 8000 members now, way more teleporters due to more income coming in from our soldiers hunting bounties- and of course, way more soldiers. And now my glorious Hesalo armor suit comes in that I've dreamed for for so long. AND I'm legit skilled enough to use it! But again I can't afford to lose my focus, so I say,

"Alright. Shoot me up- let's test this thing." With a deep breath, looking through the eye-slits of my helmet at the turret we set up earlier that's to the left of me now.

"You sure? ...Who am I kidding I wanna see this shit too." Mont says with a smirk as he starts running over to the turret with his shorter legs, while the other blacksmiths follow him but head towards the other guns around us too- like RPG's.

A few minutes of preparing later...

💣💣💣

I raise my fully armored hands to my face to cover the slits in the helmet for breathing and seeing- which is pretty uncomfortable but it'll have to do for now, since I'll need to be fully protected for this.

"Fire." I calmly command to the insanely armed people in front of me, good thing I'm standing in a empty zone of our base, and in front of a massive wall of Hesalo that makes up part of the hole we're living in.

*BOOM!*

Even with the heavy duty earplugs I'm wearing, I can still hear the faint sounds of a ton of explosions and I think some gunfire too- and all of that is aimed at me of course. Not that I can see though since I'm covering my face, but JEEZ I can't feel jackshit!! This armor is nuts!

"Blegh!" I call out as a piece of- I don't know something somehow slips through my fingers and into my mouth, but anyways I start walking forwards like what was part of the plan- which I can do- kinda easily. I'm getting too excited though which is making the armor feel heavier on me.

"There should be turrets, rocket launchers, grenades- everything firing at me right now... this is... wow." I think to myself as I even start to blindly jog, I can't even feel the vibrations of any of the hits on my armor- and I still feel so mobile too!

"Hm?" I ask as I think I can hear someone talking... nah probably nothing, I stop moving anyways just in case though.

"KODAN!!!" Oh someone is shouting at me, guess the firing at me stuff is over now- bummer. Anyways I take my hand off of my face, to see about ten guys standing in front of me holding smoking weapons. Then I yank off my helmet, and rip out my earplugs.

"Fucking dumbass, you weren't supposed to jog that far! You rammed through the wholeass turret we had set up, that thing isn't cheap you know!" Eriz shouts at me which makes my excited heart sink-

"Shit, was anyone using i- AH!!" I cry out in pain as the armor suit starts to weigh so much, that it makes me fall to my knees and starts to hurt like crap. Shit I stopped focusing!

"Get- get me out!!" I shout out in a bit of panic, and luckily that teleports me to our base's hospital where my teleporter was connected to in just a second. Pretty smart since we assumed that if I had to call myself out of the armor, it'd be due to an injury. Luckily though I think I'm pretty intact, nothing broken- a little sore though.

"Oh Kodan! Are you alright?" A nurse asks from behind me in the white waiting room I'm in now,

"Yep I think so, a little malfunction is all." I ask as I try to look cool and spring up but- I pay for that as my muscles cry out right when I do. Anyways I spin myself around to see a few nurses gathered around a TV we apparently have hung up in this room, guess it's good for when patients have to wait around though.

I walk closer to them to see what's on and, oh great. Looks like Commander Jaxonite's being interviewed. He's still got on his orange and black helmet and mask on that he thinks looks cool. Yeah I wonder why he has to hide his face... anyways. The mask has a crooked smile on it, before it was an evil grin actually. But because people shit on it for just looking edgy he tried to make it into something funny, which wasn't much of an improvement in my opinion.

Anyways the one thing I'll admit is that the black visor he has across his mask where his eyes should be looks pretty cool. Though he mainly wears it so that he can see, since he's blind without them on. Tech can sure be handy... wish it wasn't used on massive cunts like him though.

Cunt or not he's also wearing a big black robe type jacket type thing that drapes down to his knees- and his arms are sticking out of it as well. Underneath the jacket I can just barely manage to see the purple jeans he's wearing, as well as his spiked shoes- yeah no this guy's a tryhard. Totally not biased here... well if I was- he's raped a few people in the past AND some of my members have heard reports from citizens that he hasn't stopped, so I wouldn't blame myself for being biased at all.

Either way- my ears perk up as I can hear the man interviewing Jaxonite ask, "Sir- there have been rumors of you abusing your powe-"

Jaxonite interuppts the reporter by slapping his gloved hand onto his shoulder, "What? Who told you this nonsense? Why would I ever hurt a woman- or hurt anyone? I've been serving here for 13 years, 13! You would think if I wanted to be a damn criminal that I'd quit by now, hm? Any of those videos that appeared online of me were clearly edited using technology." The absolute idiot says in his raspy voice with a wagging finger, which makes me slap my hand to my face. Course the bunch of accusations and videos of you are all fake...

I want to laugh, wish I could but this situation is so fucking disgusting I can't. There's no hard evidence of it but there's been some reports from my spy's of this scumbag doing horrible things to kids too. He HAS to go down- which is why he's 100% going to be the monster I kill in two months now.

He's also probably the weakest Commander- well maybe Erucid would be easier to beat with my armor now but, he doesn't deserve to die. I may even recruit him when we take over the Hopian Army... and then I'll save Ontarus for next time.

Jaxonite being the cocky bastard he is has told the public what his Blessing is a bunch of times now. He thinks it'll scare crime away or something because people will be afraid of him. His Blessing IS kind of strong but... it's a good thing I'll have my armor suit to pretty well make me invincible, as we've been planning for months. Just have to get used to it a bit more- I'm already good enough at fighting and all that as is.

"PAAAAAL- oh you are ok, great! False alarm folks, don't get me worried about Kodan for no reason you temporarily rotten I.D.I.O.T.S.!" I can hear King Metallica cry, then scold someone as he bursts through the wooden door to our hospital- hah, guess he ran into the blacksmiths and got here before them. Yeah probably should've ran back to tell them I was ok first- whoops.
