Da-xia

Chapter 1

Seventy-eight years ago, humanity received an unexpected communication from a benevolent civilization on a distant planet. This advanced species warned of an imminent danger posed by an unknown hostile force targeting Earth and offered assistance in the form of special suits imbued with powerful capabilities.

The first chosen pilot underwent rigorous trials, tests, and training over seven years to master the suit’s abilities. When the threat finally materialized in the form of nine extraterrestrial species, humanity faced a twelve-day war for survival. Despite overwhelming odds, the courageous pilots, empowered by the alien suits, emerged victorious.

Since then, every sixty years, the suits are sent by the benevolent planet as a gesture of continued solidarity and protection. However, only forty percent of the human population possesses the innate ability to control and wield the suits effectively.

This periodic renewal of the suits serves as a reminder of the ongoing alliance between Earth and its allies in the cosmos, as well as the enduring need for vigilance against external threats.

Riyuji: “Wow... So all of this actually happened 78 years ago? It’s hard to believe. I mean, reading about these incredible battles and the bravery of those who fought, it’s like something out of a movie. “

Amayra: "Um, Riyuji, who are you talking to?"
Riyuji: “Um, oh, sorry, Amayra. I was just... reading this history book. Yeah, that’s it.” *His cheeks flush slightly as he avoids eye contact.* “Anyway, I gotta perform well in the aptitude exam so I can get selected... for the pilot training but what I’ll  do about z- score....?”
Amayra: “ ohh right... Your z-score is super less, we have 2 months for the exam can you increase it ..? Like near 160-170? But it will be hard for you to harness it and then flow your z energy into the suit.....”
Riyuji : “ this is the only thing that is bothering me.. my z score is near 56.. that’s soo less.. even a new born baby have a z-energy of 80 ... And for the pilot selection it should be around 150-300out of 400... It’s nearly impossible... For me... To achieve that much z-energy just in 2 months .... How about your score ? “
Amayra:”my z-energy is around 160-200 I think I’ll get a “B” grade suit.”
Riyuji:-“good for you....”
Amayra: “ don’t be disheartened.., i got to go now bye Riyuji do your best !”
As Riyuji boarded the subway after his conversation with Amayra, little did he know that his journey would soon become a battleground between humanity and extraterrestrial invaders. The ordinary hum of the train was shattered by the sudden descent of aliens into the subway, trapping everyone inside. In the middle of the chaos, four guardians on patrol swiftly arrived to confront the extraterrestrial threat, their arrival igniting a glimmer of hope in the hearts of the terrified passengers.

A fierce battle erupted as the four guardians valiantly clashed with the two powerful aliens, their blows echoing through the confined space of the subway car. However, the aliens were strong , and the guardians soon found themselves overwhelmed by the sheer strength . Despite their best efforts, the guardians suffered brutal injuries in the struggle, their resolve tested to its limits.

Just as hope began to wane, a ray of light pierced through the darkness—the number one guardian, renowned for their unparalleled strength and skill, joined the battle , he fought against the two aliens by himself commanding the four patrol guardians to evacuate the passengers.

Suddenly, one of the aliens broke through the chaos, fixating its gaze on Riyuji with menacing intent. Reacting with lightning speed, the number one guardian made a daring decision born of courage and selflessness.

“Detach my half armor helmet, leg jets, and attach them to the kid!” commanded the number one guardian to their suit, their voice ringing with authority. With a mechanical hum, the suit obeyed, detaching components with precision and seamlessly integrating them with Riyuji’s own attire.

Empowered by the advanced technology coursing through his veins, Riyuji felt a surge of energy unlike anything he had ever experienced before. With newfound strength and determination, he soared into the air, propelled by the combined might of human and machine.

Meanwhile, the number one guardian engaged the remaining alien in a fierce duel, their movements fluid and precise as they traded blows with their extraterrestrial adversary. With every strike, the guardian fought with unwavering resolve, determined to protect humanity at any cost.

As Riyuji soared through the air, carried by the powerful suit attached to him, he heard a chilling voice emanating from the helmet’s speakers.

“Z-energy not matched, neither qualified. Taking over host body. Either z-energy will increase or the host will die from brain damage. Chances of survival rate 0.1%,” the voice intoned, sending shivers down Riyuji’s spine.

With a sinking feeling of dread, Riyuji realized the gravity of the situation. The suit’s relentless attempts to seize control grew stronger with each passing moment, leaving him with a slim chance of survival.

Despite his best efforts to resist, Riyuji’s consciousness began to fade as the suit’s dominance took hold. Agonizing seconds stretched into minutes as Riyuji endured excruciating pain, his very existence hanging in the balance.

After a grueling 69 seconds, Riyuji felt the last vestiges of resistance slip away as the suit completed its takeover of his body. With a surge of energy coursing through him, Riyuji’s z-energy skyrocketed to 180, marking a miraculous transformation against all odds.

As Riyuji emerged from the ordeal, battered but alive, he knew that he had defied the odds and emerged stronger than ever before. With his newfound power and resilience, Riyuji was ready to embrace his destiny as a guardian, determined to protect humanity from the forces of darkness no matter the cost.

On the other side of the battle, the number one guardian gritted his teeth in frustration as he struggled to maintain the upper hand with only half of his suit operational.

“Argh, it’s hard to fight with my half suit!” he grunted, feeling the weight of the battle bearing down upon him.

Communicating with his suit, the number one guardian issued urgent commands, his voice tinged with determination. “Are you done? Keep the boy near the people who got evacuated and attach with me immediately!”

The suit responded promptly, acknowledging the order with a crisp “Yes, sir!”

With swift efficiency, the suit detached from Riyuji and guided him to the safety of the evacuated area, ensuring that he was placed among the other citizens out of harm’s way.

Once Riyuji was secure, the suit detached from him and seamlessly reattached itself to the number one guardian, restoring him to full strength and readiness to continue the fight against the alien invaders. With the unity of man and machine, the guardians stood united in their resolve to protect humanity against all threats, their courage unwavering in the face of adversity.
As the battle raged on, the relentless efforts of the guardians paid off as the alien invaders were finally vanquished. With the threat neutralized, a wave of relief washed over the area, and the surrounding bystanders erupted into cheers and applause, their gratitude palpable as they hailed the heroes who had saved them.

Among the jubilant crowd, the number one guardian stood tall, a beacon of hope and strength in the aftermath of the chaos. As the people cheered for him and the other guardians who had fought alongside him, a sense of unity and solidarity filled the air, binding them together in shared triumph.

Meanwhile, as the dust settled and calm returned to the surroundings, the suit approached the number one guardian with a crucial revelation.

“Sir, the boy’s z-energy was exceptionally low. I increased it in order to facilitate his flight. Did I do the right thing?” the suit inquired, seeking validation for its actions.

Curious, the number one guardian pressed for details. “How much was it?” he asked, his tone grave with concern.

The suit hesitated before responding, “It was near 56, sir.”

Shock registered on the number one guardian’s face as he processed the implications of the suit’s revelation. “You increased it to how much?” he demanded, his voice tinged with urgency.

“Up to 180, sir,” the suit replied, its tone betraying a hint of uncertainty.

Realization dawned on the number one guardian as he grasped the severity of the situation. “If he tries to pilot any suit with that level of z-energy, he could die!” he exclaimed, his mind racing with possibilities.

With a sense of urgency, the number one guardian knew that they needed to find Riyuji immediately, before it was too late. As the crowd continued to celebrate their victory, the guardians sprang into action, their mission clear: to locate Riyuji and ensure his safety at all costs.

As the suit questioned the potential consequences, the number one guardian paused, considering the gravity of the situation.

“His z-energy was very low, even lower than a newborn... And now, with his z-energy increased to 180, if he attempts to pilot a suit and channel that energy into it, the sudden overflow of energy from him to the suit could cause severe damage to his brain cells,” the number one guardian explained, his tone somber.

The suit processed the information, acknowledging the inherent risks involved. “But the boy survived with a 0.1% chance...” it interjected, highlighting Riyuji’s remarkable resilience.

“Indeed, it’s impressive,” the number one guardian conceded, admiration evident in his voice. Despite the slim odds, Riyuji had defied fate and emerged from the ordeal alive—a testament to his strength and determination in the face of adversity.

With a renewed sense of purpose, the number one guardian resolved to ensure Riyuji’s safety and well-being, knowing that the young boy possessed a resilience that defied the odds and held the potential for greatness.
