Chapter 5

The weeks passed, and my strength was growing. As was my body!

Father figure continued to spar with me, however as of late, he has no longer become the challenging figure he once was. I have beaten him down many times over, and yet he smiles at it all. Why does he smile knowing I could easily end his life if I desired?

I didn't quite understand it, however I began to feel the time was right to stress my authority with this family. I am growing, I am stronger and I will be the one to take command of them all!

However, I found mother figure to be rather stubborn. She refuses to acknowledge my strength is greater than father figure or herself for that matter. Someone like her should be pleased to serve a great and powerful being such as myself! So much so I even told her.

However, her threats were ones I didn't know how to contend against. "Okay then. If you are so strong and powerful, make your own lunch" she decreed.

I froze.

Despite how intelligent I am, how fast I learn. Making food has been a great weakness of mine.

"I… I don't know how!" I protested to her. In her eyes I must be similar to her younger siblings. I have achieved their height to say the least, and yet not even they are allow cooking for themselves yet. How did she expect me to do so!

I would swallow my pride for the time being and accept that I still needed assistance. She didn't want me looking down on her, but it is how I was taught. The original insisted that the weak are either killed or devote their lives to service the strong. I refuse to become the one who serves!

However Mother figure looked to me curiously. "Perhaps you need a greater challenge…" she said offhandedly. "After all, you are looking to grow stronger, perhaps it is best you face someone you haven't before."

I grew curious. "Am I facing your father figure?" I asked curiously.

She laughed off the question. "You are nowhere near ready to face him, in fact, the one I have in mind is not someone you would assume. Just a moment…" she left the room and made a call.

Father figure on the other hand was smiling the biggest grin. "You're in for it now," he said with a chuckle to his tone.

"There isn't anyone in this family that will give me a proper fight besides the alpha…" I muttered and ate my meal.

Father figure on the other hand giggled. "We'll see about that!"

In an hour's time.

Mother brought my next challenger. However, I was greatly disappointed to it. She brought Luna and her minions along with the alpha's mate. "This is a joke, isn't it…" I demanded of her.

She merely smiled and asked her sister Luna to 'play' with me.

Luna looked to me and smiled. "I get to play with Bory!?"

"BOROS!"

The girl has yet to pronounce my name right if at all. Luna however was a rather strange girl as she appeared excited to the challenge. What bothered me was the fact her siblings appeared upset. "How comes she gets to play with him first?!" demanded Akira.

"We want a turn too!" said Eclipsa.

They have no concept of what my power is. None of them!

I decided to humor them and accept the 'play' invitation. Luna was rambling all the way down the spar room about how we would play well together.

I am going to silence this girl once and for all!

When we entered, Luna went to one side, skipping all the way until she was on the other end. Father figure walked us in yet would leave the room after he spoke some parting words. I was expecting to be lectured to go easy on the earth child, yet was taken aback as he turned to Luna. "Go easy on him okay?"

I was offended!

"She is of no concern to me nor challenge!" I snapped back.

Father figure said nothing, but he smiled strangely once more as he walked out of the room.

Luna had no idea what I could do, let alone what power I possessed. I decided to end this quickly and rushed her. I'll end this all in a punch!

My fist balled up, I ran at full speed, yet suddenly, my momentum was stopped!

My fist was caught, and I swore father figure interfered, however, Luna caught the strike with ease! "What are you doing? I thought we were going to play?" she then threw back my arm, and I was forced nearly to the end of the room!

Such power comes from her?

Impossible!

There was no choice, I went to stage two of my strength, and this for certain will scare her off!

Yet as I turned, she was surprised. "You can do that too!?"

This made me freeze. "What?" I demanded.

Then, she suddenly focused, her white hair turned to the same as mine of dark pink and some areas of dark blue. Her skin even adapted to match my own in various spots!

"Impossible… this is impossible…" I whispered.

I refused to allow some earthling brat beat me!

I went all out, attempting to land a solid blow against her. However, she avoided everything! She didn't even thrown a punch back at me, but her skills were something I didn't anticipate. The battle wore on, and I have yet to cause any damage to her. When suddenly, I took a solid blow to the chest!

My body flew and became embedded into the steel. I dropped and couldn't summon my strength anymore. My breath was short and I couldn't believe my own eye that I lost to a mere infant!

Normally, the victor would brag about their strength and abilities to one as strong as me. However, Luna approached me and said. "I'm thirsty, are you? Wanna get some water?"

It was so innocent. She never sought to embarrass me. I merely nodded to her as she helped me to my feet once more. Luna smiled as she skipped out of the room. I was forced to taste humble pie as father figure would say.

Such a strange sensation…

Normally I would be quite upset about this, that there is one stronger than me. And yet, this… makes me feel something different, something almost familiar from the original…

Mother figure has been trying to teach me that despite how strong I am and can become, it isn't everything. I had questioned her as to why the family never took over this planet with their power. She quickly explained Saitama for one, another reason was 'No one will ever respect you if you take power my force'.

Since when did respect play a factor?

I didn't understand, however I chose from that moment on to listen more carefully to mother and father figure. Their insight may explain what I lacked in defeating Saitama…
