The Old Novas all gathered in a base, with 4 high thrones.They each sat in one and pressed a button on them.
A gate opened and there came ten people in armor.
“You all know who you are. The 9 Centurions. Hand picked by us.” Miguel told them.
“We’ll introduce the ones we individually picked. I’m going first.” Sabrina said. “I picked Ryan, the Warborn Nova and Vessel of Tyr, who can alter his weapons and empower his strikes.” Sabrina said, pointing to a man in light cloth like armor with a shield and sword on his back, “and Liza, the Abundance Nova, Vessel of Sif, she can multiply items to as much as she likes.” Sabrina continued, pointing to a woman wearing cloth and armor on her shoulders.
“I picked the Moon Nova and Vessel of Khonsu, Martin, who can envelop beings in darkness,” Haru said, pointing to a man wearing a hoodie and gauntlets.
“And the Disorder Nova, Vessel of Seth, Valeria, who can summon sand winds and storms.” Haru continued gesturing to a girl in a thick jacket.
“Alright guess I’ll go. I picked Fang Shu, the Rage Nova, Vessel of Erlang Shen. He doesn’t have great access to his Soul, but he can cancel out other peoples Chaos Soul.” he said, pointing at a man in formal Chinese clothing and armor, who was currently messing around smacking Ryan in the head a couple of times “ignore that…and Mizu, the Dragon Nova and Vessel of Ao Guang, he can summon and control water, and call upon dragons made of Divine Soul.” Miguel said, showing them a guy with long hair and blue eyes in a long cloak and armor.
“Alright, finally it’s my turn.” Elias said. “First, Alaric. We’ve all seen him in action, he can pick one element, and it links to another, for example fire and lightning.” he said, pointing to Alaric. “Then our wild card, Chance, who goes by Bi Bi for some reason. Casino Nova and Vessel to Tyche. He has luck manipulation.” Elias told them, pointing to a guy wearing normal clothes. “Finally Tyler, Inventor Nova and Vessel to Hephestus.” Elias said, pointing to someone in a blacksmith suit.
“Wait, we picked literal Novas of disaster, war, and creation. And you picked a lucky Nova and a blacksmith Nova?!” Haru questioned.
“Don’t underestimate them, especially Tyler. Ya remember Kenji, the guy who kicked Sabrina''s ass? Yeah, he could match that level of technology.” Elias answered.
“You all can go now, plan the next attack.” Miguel ordered, opening the gate and letting them leave.
Outside, Fang Shu approached Tyler. “Hey, black boy!” Fang Shu yelled, startling Tyler, who whispered to himself “Wait, he’s black too. Or black and asian I can’t tell”.

“You’re a blacksmith, that’s it? Sure you have Divine Soul but that’s it.” Fang told him. Tyler got up and tapped his ear piece.
“Vulcan, bring in Project Vesuvius.”. A chime was heard, and a large black robot with windows that were glowing orange was up in the sky and dropped in. “This is the current state of Project Vesuvius. It has destroyed Behemoth level demons with ease. I built it. I also created Vulcan, an AI. It blasts lava, fire, and when I’m in it, Vesuvius can harness my energy for stronger lava, and even metal.” Tyler explained.
Fang grabbed Tyler by the neck and raised him in the air “What do you think you are to me?” Fang yelled. Everyone began trying to break up the fight but the Vesuvius Robot punched Fang to the ground.
“Alright listen up. I’m in charge. We’ll make a plan. Right now, just get to know each other. If you fight, Vesuvius melts you to ashes. Got it?” Tyler explained.
“Okie Dokie.” Chance responded.
Valeria and Ryan were talking. “So how would we fight them? Sanzang beat Elias!” Ryan told her. “True, but we outnumber them. Ethan is currently in a limit, and Sanzang isn’t trained. We could beat them.” Valeria said.
Mizu and Martin talked about plans. “So what if I created the Divine Dragons, and you enveloped them in darkness so they can’t be seen.” Mizu explained to Martin. As Martin was about to say something, Chance interrupted.
“Hiiii my name is Chance, I’m really lucky so I basically can’t die!”. Alaric was in the corner and approached by Liza. She sat down next to him. “So, you fought Sanzang Amane and Tabia. What was that like?” She asked him.
“Tiring. Sanzang was the easiest. He wasn’t trying though. Amane and Tabia both relentlessly fought me. Cloning and shit.” Alaric explained.
“Wow…I can multiply things too.” Liza said, grabbing his glove and creating a second one. “I can’t alter its properties though. So I’ll just multiply your other glove-” Alaric grabbed her hand and stopped her.
“It’s fine, don''t worry about it. I can just buy another one.”. “No no I insist.”. These two said these phrases for the next ten minutes.
Chance walked up to the two and started taking pictures of them. “When you two get married I’ll show these pictures to everyone!” he proudly declared. Alaric waved his hand and sent a strike of lightning to the phone.
“No you won’t.” Alaric stood up. “We aren’t getting married and you''re not showing that photo.”.
“Yeah no…my phone is still working.” Chance said, showing him the phone screen completely intact.
“You could say I’m lucky!” Chance laughed.
Liza got up and multiplied a knife in her pocket and threw them at Chance, but he wasn’t hit. “You have a terrible aim. How’d they hire you of all people.” Chance told her, chuckling.
Alaric saw her getting mad and patted her on the back. “He just got lucky, it''s fine, he can’t win a fight with skill if he tried.” he told her.
She nodded and smiled. Chance laughed, commenting on how it was true.
Fang Shu got up and walked up to Ryan and Valeria. “Hey, we can beat them. I can beat Ethan easily.” He told them. Ryan and Valeria looked confused, before grinning, realizing that the three of them could make a good team.
Haru entered the room they were in. “Alright guys remember, we are becoming a public organization. We need all of you to have your best faces for this picture.” he told them. Chance was excited by the opportunity, but everyone was mad that they had to do this.
