Planet Yada stretched out beneath a vast, alien sky swirling with turbulent clouds and distant thunder. The rocky terrain was scarred from countless training sessions, craters glowing faintly with residual silver energy. Astra floated high above it all, his adult form radiating quiet power — white hair drifting in the wind, silver eyes sharp and focused. He cracked his neck slowly, the sound echoing like a warning across the empty landscape. His gaze locked onto the swirling portal that had torn open in the sky moments ago, crackling with unstable golden energy.
Astra's voice was calm but laced with quiet irritation, carrying across the wind like a challenge.
"Show yourself…"
The portal pulsed, widening slightly with a low, ominous hum that made the ground tremble. Golden light spilled out like liquid sunlight, bathing the barren rocks in a warm, almost divine glow.
A figure stepped forward from the rift.
She was stunning — short golden hair shimmering like threads of pure sunlight, framing a face of elegant beauty. Her eyes glowed with a striking mix of red and golden hues, sharp yet filled with a quiet intensity. Her figure was graceful and commanding, clad in a flowing red dress that billowed around her like flames caught in a breeze, accentuating her presence as something otherworldly.
She looked at Astra directly, her voice ringing clear and authoritative across the planet's surface.
"My name is Taiyo, and I am the Sun Goddess."
Astra hovered steadily, silver aura flickering faintly around him as he studied her. His expression remained composed, but a hint of genuine confusion crossed his features.
"So what do you want from me?"
Taiyo's golden-red eyes narrowed, her voice steady but carrying an undercurrent of divine judgment.
"I want to capture you, because you have broken the rules of the solar system."
Astra tilted his head slightly, kicking a small pebble beneath his feet with casual indifference. The stone skipped across the rocky ground, vanishing into a distant crater.
"What did I break?"
Taiyo raised her hand gracefully. Instantly, a radiant golden spear materialized in her grip, its tip gleaming with solar fire that made the air around it shimmer with heat.
"The time rules of the solar system. And they vary on every person."
She pointed the spear toward him, her elegant figure poised like a goddess ready to deliver judgment.
"Fight me…"
Astra let out a small, almost tired sigh, his silver eyes flickering with mild annoyance. He kicked another pebble idly, watching it bounce away.
"What did I seriously break that she is too furious on me…?"
Without another word, Taiyo rushed forward in a blur of golden light. The distance between them closed in an instant — too close, too fast. Her spear swung in a wide, powerful arc, trailing solar flames that left burning afterimages in the air.
Instantly —
Astra's hand moved with effortless precision. Two fingers caught the spear's shaft mid-swing, stopping it dead. The golden weapon cracked under the pressure, splintering like fragile glass before shattering completely in his grip.
Taiyo's eyes widened in shock. She pushed herself backward through the air, landing gracefully but with clear tension in her posture. Her elegant red dress fluttered around her as she reassessed him, breathing steady but her divine aura flaring brighter.
Astra lowered his hand, silver energy dissipating like mist.
"Alright, I will make sure to not break any rule. You can go safely."
Taiyo's expression twisted with disbelief and rising anger. Her golden-red eyes burned with frustration.
"Are you kidding right now?! I am not here to go back… You think this is just a joke?"
Astra shrugged lightly, his voice calm and almost gentle.
"No… I just want some peace."
Without letting him finish speaking, Taiyo lunged again. Her fist glowed with intense golden aura, divine flames erupting around her like a miniature sun. The punch carried the weight of celestial power, the air igniting in her wake.
Astra reflected the blow effortlessly with an open palm, the impact sending a shockwave that cracked the ground beneath them. In the same fluid motion, he countered with a silver flame arrow launched from his fingertips — a concentrated bolt of pure energy that streaked toward her like a shooting star.
Taiyo tried to block it with her arms crossed, golden flames clashing against silver. But the arrow exploded on contact.
A massive nuclear silver cloud erupted outward, chains of silver flaming slashes and roaring flames spreading like a storm of blades and fire. The blast lit up the entire planet in brilliant silver light, the roar shaking mountains and sending shockwaves across the barren landscape.
Taiyo was hurled backward, crashing through multiple ice-covered peaks in a trail of dust and shattered rock. The entire planet roared in protest, the ground trembling violently as debris rained down.
When the smoke finally cleared, Taiyo struggled to stand, her elegant red dress torn at the edges, breathing heavily. Her golden hair was disheveled, and a trickle of divine energy leaked from a small cut on her arm.
Astra teleported beside her in a flicker of silver light, gently holding her one hand to steady her.
"You look injured now. You should stop."
Taiyo yanked her hand away, gritting her teeth in frustration and pride. Her golden-red eyes blazed with defiance.
"You criminal! You think you can escape through kindness?!"
Astra's voice remained calm, almost soothing, as he took a small step back.
"Why are you keep shouting? Stay calm…"
Taiyo didn't reply with words. She rushed forward again, her leg covered in golden divine flames that burned like a comet. The kick was powerful, aimed straight at Astra's side with the force of a solar flare.
Astra blocked it cleanly with his forearm. The flames exploded on impact, turning into a shower of golden sparkles that scattered across the rocky ground like falling embers.
Astra's silver eyes softened with understanding, his voice gentle yet firm.
"You look determined, but you are forced. I know… That's why I'm not hurting you."
Taiyo paused for a moment, her chest heaving. Something flickered in her eyes — hesitation, conflict, a hint of vulnerability beneath the goddess facade.
She threw herself backward, rising both hands high. Golden energy gathered between her palms, swirling and expanding into a massive energy ball that looked exactly like a miniature sun — radiant, blinding, and terrifyingly powerful. The air around it warped with intense heat, the ground beneath her cracking as the temperature soared.
Taiyo's voice rang out with divine authority.
"Ultimate SuperNova!!!"
She hurled the blazing orb straight at Astra.
Astra stepped backward, arms clenched at his sides as the atmosphere itself changed. The planet felt like it was burning alive. Everything around them began to ignite — rocks glowing red, the air shimmering with unbearable heat. No erasing. Just pure, overwhelming incineration.
Astra's eyes narrowed, his voice steady but intrigued.
"What kind of attack is this…?"
He raised his hand calmly. Suddenly, silver flames surged forward, enveloping the SuperNova completely and turning its golden fire into pure silver energy. The massive orb slowed dramatically, its momentum draining away as Astra's power overpowered it.
Taiyo poured her full force into it, golden aura flaring wildly around her elegant figure, sweat beading on her forehead.
But the SuperNova didn't move even an inch closer.
Astra's hand glowed faintly brighter. With a subtle push, the supernova reversed direction, moving backward toward Taiyo herself.
Taiyo's eyes widened in utter shock, her voice breaking with disbelief.
"Impossible! Nooo—!"
She used every ounce of her divine strength, golden flames roaring around her, but nothing happened. The orb continued its inexorable path back to her.
Taiyo closed her eyes in terror, bracing for the end.
Suddenly, the light faded completely. The entire massive energy ball was absorbed into nothingness, vanishing as if it had never existed.
Taiyo slowly opened her eyes, breathing ragged.
"Wh… What?"
Astra was floating directly in front of her, his silver hair fluttering gently in the wind. His eyes glowed with controlled power, his hand still raised. The supernova had been reduced to a tiny pebble in his palm before disappearing entirely.
Taiyo stared at him, voice trembling with a mix of awe and confusion.
"What are you—?"
She threw a desperate punch, golden energy flaring, but Astra caught both her hands quickly and firmly.
Taiyo struggled to free herself, twisting and pulling with all her strength, her elegant red dress tearing slightly at the seams.
Astra teleported with her in a flash of silver light, pinning her gently but securely against the wall of a nearby mountain. The impact shook the entire peak violently, cracks spiderwebbing across the rock as small stones rained down.
Taiyo's one eye closed briefly from the force, her breathing heavy.
Astra leaned in closer, his expression now serious, silver eyes locked onto hers with intense focus. Their breaths mixed in the small space between them, warm and charged.
"Now tell me! Why are you doing all of these? I just wanted a peaceful training…"
Taiyo looked into his eyes, her golden-red gaze meeting his silver one. Their faces were so close that the tension in the air felt electric. A slight blush crept across her cheeks, her elegant features softening for just a moment.
"Re… Release me…"
Astra narrowed his eyebrows, his voice firm but not unkind.
"Not after what you have done. I won't release you until you say the truth."
His hand glowed with silver flames, energy crackling softly.
Then he struck — but not with force.
Taiyo closed her eyes in fear, bracing for pain.
But she felt nothing burning.
When she opened her eyes slightly, a soft *bonk* echoed as Astra lightly tapped her head with his knuckles.
Astra smiled gently, almost teasingly.
"Baka\~"
Taiyo's face flushed deeper, a mix of embarrassment and frustration.
"Uhh… Don't you dare to say those words."
Astra chuckled softly, releasing her completely and stepping back.
"Fine. I release you because you are funny."
Taiyo slid down the mountain wall, sitting on the ground and breathing heavily, her golden hair disheveled and her red dress slightly torn. She hugged her legs, looking down with a mix of defeat and quiet sadness.
Astra sat beside her on the rocky ground, his silver aura fading as he gave her space.
"Huh? You look sad now. Did I beat you too much?"
Taiyo didn't respond at first, her shoulders trembling slightly.
Astra's voice softened further, genuine concern in his tone.
"At least say something… So I can—"
"Shut up!"
Taiyo shouted suddenly, her voice cracking with emotion. She looked up at him, golden-red eyes glistening with unshed tears of frustration and desperation.
"You have broken rules, you have touched me, and now you are mocking me!! You are beyond a criminal!"
Astra remained calm, his expression patient.
"Don't get too hyped. It will hurt your own heart."
Taiyo stayed quiet for a long moment, looking down at the ground, her elegant figure slumped with exhaustion and inner conflict.
Astra's voice was gentle, almost kind.
"What's wrong with you? I can feel that you didn't come here by your own choice."
Taiyo nodded slightly, her voice barely above a whisper, filled with quiet pain.
"Actually… I have been ordered."
Astra leaned in slightly, eyes widening with curiosity and empathy.
"Ordered for what and from whom?"
Taiyo's shoulders shook as she hugged her legs tighter.
"Ordered from the Universal Patrol Team. To capture you."
Her voice broke.
"If I don't do it… they won't release my children…"
Astra's eyes widened in genuine shock. He slammed his hand on his forehead, whispering in disbelief.
"Nahhh!! Are you really married?! You look so young!"
Taiyo blinked, not quite catching the whisper.
"What did you say? I didn't hear…"
Astra waved it off quickly, a small embarrassed smile on his face.
"Nothing. I like to whisper to myself sometimes."
Taiyo nodded slowly, looking down again, her voice filled with deep sorrow.
"So yeah… I was forced to do this job. But… I failed. My children… I can't meet them again."
Astra's expression softened with understanding and compassion. He placed a gentle hand on the ground between them, his voice warm and reassuring.
"I understand the pain…"
He stood up slowly, silver aura flickering faintly around him.
"Alright. I will help you."
Taiyo looked up at him instantly, her golden-red eyes wide with surprise and a spark of hope.
"Really? But what are you going to do?"
Astra smiled confidently, extending a hand toward her.
"Just believe in me… They won't use you again, and they will listen to you."
He leaned closer, his silver eyes sincere.
"Just… I need something from you…"
Taiyo tilted her head slightly, her elegant figure still tense but softening.
"What?"
Their eyes met again, the moment stretching between them like a silent promise. The wind howled softly around the mountain, carrying the faint scent of scorched rock and distant ozone.
After a long pause, Astra spoke clearly.
"I need a small divine fragment of your powers… So I can turn powerful."
Taiyo's eyes widened slightly.
"You need a fragment?"
Astra nodded.
"Yes…"
Taiyo hesitated, her voice soft with confusion.
"But why?"
Astra gestured to himself, his white hair fluttering.
"This is my imperfect base form… I have evolved, but it doesn't fully fulfill my power level and energy level."
He looked at her earnestly.
"If you want to see your children fast, you have to do it."
Taiyo thought for a long moment, her golden-red eyes searching his face. Then she nodded slowly, determination replacing the sadness.
"Alright. I will do anything to see my children. It's nothing for me to give a fragment."
Astra smiled warmly.
"Let's get ready for the ritual then."
He stood tall, arms folded confidently.
Taiyo rose to her feet, raising her hand gracefully. Golden divine aura began to flow from her palm toward Astra, swirling like liquid sunlight.
Astra closed his eyes, focusing deeply.
The aura slowly faded, then surged upward before turning downward, merging with his silver energy. Taiyo poured more force into it, trying to perfect the transfer.
But the balance became unstable.
Taiyo tried to keep focusing, her elegant figure straining with effort.
Astra's aura rose higher, silver flames burning brighter and more intensely. His entire body glowed with blinding silver light.
Then — it exploded!
The entire planet shook violently, shockwaves rippling across the landscape and even affecting nearby celestial bodies. Taiyo covered herself from the impact, her red dress billowing wildly.
The ground burned instantly in a wide radius, turning to glass-like crystal under the intense energy.
When the smoke finally cleared, Astra floated in the center, no longer the same as before.
His hair was now spiky black with slight brownish highlights, a single bang falling dramatically over his forehead. His silver eyes glowed with newfound power, his muscular frame even more defined and imposing.
His outfit had upgraded dramatically — a white long fluttering open jacket with a golden sash belt that swayed in the wind, golden wristbands gleaming, golden long boots, a tight black sleeved shirt, and matching black pants that completed the powerful, stylish look.
His silver eyes snapped open.
A faint silver aura leaked through his body, controlled and immense.
Astra smirked, arms folding confidently as he examined his new form.
"Alright… A new drip, with some new abilities."
He looked at Taiyo, his voice grateful.
"Thanks for the tonic."
His aura faded instantly, returning to a calm, steady glow.
Taiyo stood there, breathing heavily but smiling faintly.
"It's okay…"
Astra reached out and gently held her by the wrist.
"We don't have time for talk. Let's go."
They teleported away in a flash of silver light.

On another planet, far across the cosmos, a massive complex buzzed with activity — full of advanced machines, sleek spaceships docked in hangars, and beings of all kinds, including gods and officials moving with purpose. The headquarters of the Universal Patrol Team was a marvel of technology and authority.
In the central command room, the head of the entire operation sat on his chair, blue glasses slipping slightly down his nose as he operated multiple holographic computers with practiced ease.
Q.T. — Quantama Teliscaripa.
A cyborg with far more artificial enhancements than human features, he was a brilliant scientist known across the universe simply as QT. His mechanical arms moved fluidly across the consoles, eyes scanning data streams.
QT yawned lazily, legs crossed, arms resting behind his neck as he leaned back.
"Without giving them any threat, they don't work… Taiyo, the fool goddess. I told her to do the job, but she rejected capturing someone without proofs… So I have to do this plan."
---
At the main gate of the entire complex, Astra landed gracefully, still holding Taiyo's hand protectively.
Taiyo looked around nervously, her elegant red dress slightly torn from the earlier battle.
"Are you sure? They are too strong and so many…"
Astra smirked confidently, his new outfit fluttering in the artificial wind.
"Yeah yeah, that's just like some Monday breakfast for an Inferno Prince… You don't have to take tensions."
The words "Inferno Prince" echoed through Taiyo's mind like a thunderclap.
Taiyo's eyes widened in shock.
"No—"
She jumped backward, staring at him with pure disbelief.
"It cannot be!! You… You are the Inferno Prince! The prince of that legendary dragon clan!"
Taiyo's voice trembled with awe and realization.
"I can't believe… You touched me, you borrowed my power by yourself… That's unimaginable."
Astra shrugged casually, his silver eyes glowing with quiet power.
"What's wrong? You gave me a fragment of your power, let me achieve my perfect evolution. So it's like duty for me."
He smirked playfully.
"Don't tell me you are gonna fall to your knees and—"
Taiyo dropped to her knees immediately, bowing deeply with genuine respect and desperation.
"Now… Please help me… I have even given a fragment of my power… My children, they are in danger."
Astra's expression softened immediately. He knelt down to her level, voice kind and reassuring.
"Oh, you don't need to beg. I will help for sure."
He stood up, extending a hand to help her rise.
"Just believe in me."
He snapped his fingers casually.
The entire planet shook slightly, a subtle vibration that grew into something far more dramatic.
Suddenly —
The walls, the buildings, the spaceships, the entire office complex of QT — everything was slashed cleanly in half by razor-sharp silver energy slashes. Then the cuts multiplied into thousands of precise slices, followed by roaring silver flames that consumed everything in controlled, beautiful destruction.
People didn't even have time to scream or react — the attack was too fast, too precise, too overwhelming.
Taiyo shouted in panic, eyes wide.
"My children! They were inside it!"
But Astra had already moved. Her children — safe, cute, chibi forms sleeping peacefully — were now resting gently on his shoulder, protected by a faint silver barrier.
Astra handed them carefully to Taiyo.
Taiyo's face lit up with overwhelming joy and relief. Tears streamed down her elegant cheeks as she hugged her children tightly, bowing deeply to Astra with profound respect and gratitude.
Astra waved it off with a warm smile.
"Nah nah, it was just included with the deal."
He waved his hand casually.
"Bye bye. I'm going. Take care."
With a flash of silver light, he teleported back to Planet Yada.
Astra stretched his arms slightly, admiring his new form with a satisfied smirk.
"That's a big W. I got an insane power boost + that coldest drip ever… This might be the best chapter for me."
---
Now, in the vast emptiness of space, Blu flew steadily toward Earth, his cape fluttering dramatically behind him. His eyes were fixed on the blue planet growing larger in the distance, a small, warm smile on his face.
"The Earth is finally near…"
The journey home had been long, but the promise of reunion — and whatever new threats awaited — filled the air with anticipation.
