The Five Kings: First Step

Hopian 112 Part 1 - Suit Up!

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.
