Astarian Challenges Thomas Anthony

On September 23, 2018, on the planet of Astaris, the King of the Astarians said, “Clydrilm, I have a job for you to do.”

One of the King’s right hand men, Clydrilm heard that and stepped forward asking, “How may I help you, your majesty?”

He answered, “There is a place called Earth. Ever hear of it.”

Clydrilm answered, “No sir. I never heard of that place before. Is it on Astaris?”

The King answered, “Nope. It’s a planet just like this one. Well, not entirely like this one. But it holds a species called Humans. They are known as the weakest species in the entire universe. But there are some strong ones. The one that I want you to fight is known as Thomas Anthony. A 15 year old boy who lives in Reach, California. He’s about your height. And is quite a hassle. Not even the cops dare touch him. I want you to challenge him.”

Clydrilm said, “And if I lose, what then?”

The King answered, “I’m afraid that you are going to stay there till you defeat him.”

Clydrilm said, “Understood.”

The King said, “It’s a 2 day travel. Start flying, my dear friend.”

Clydrilm looked at him and bowed and took off immediately. While he was flying toward Earth, 2 days later, a group of kids were walking toward the park. One of the kids said, “Yo, what are you going to do after this, Thomas? Go to your girls place? Or take her to yours?”

Thomas Anthony answered, “I actually plan on having dinner at her place. It’ll be fun.”

They smiled and said, “Sounds like her parents don’t trust you at all, Thomas. By the way, have you heard the reports of all the Superhumans that are appearing in the world. It’s crazy.”

Thomas said, “Yeah, it is crazy.”

As soon as they arrived at the park, 5 adults were bullying 5 elementary school students. Ri saw that and was about to head over there, but Thomas said, “Yo, you need to pick on someone your own size.”

One of the adults heard that and turned toward Thomas and said, “You must be terribly mistaken. We’re just teaching them how to play ball.”

Thomas asked, “Is that so? It looks like they are extremely upset. How about this? I beat you one on five. No, I take that back. Get your other 5 men out here and make it a one on ten match.”

His friends started laughing and said, “Shit, you really are insane Thomas. I guess that the police really can’t stop you from doing as you please.”

The leader used his Superhuman strength to beam the ball at one of Thomas’ friends and he screeched. Thomas placed his hand out and caught the ball with his fingertips and the leader saw that and said, “Impossible. How’d you catch it?”

Thomas started dribbling the ball on the court and they saw that and Thomas said, “Let’s begin, shall we?”

They heard that and looked at him saying, “You can’t be serious.”

Thomas said, “Also, foul play is allowed. Meaning that we can foul each other all we want. But there are no fouls. You call it, you lose a point. We’re playing a difficult game of me whooping your ass.”

They laughed and started chasing after him and Thomas said, “It’s your ball. Why the hell are you charging at me?”

The leader asked, “What the hell are you talking about?”

Thomas answered, “Loser’s ball.”

Thomas shot the ball from the half-court line and they said, “No way.”

Thomas said, “Loser’s ball.”

The leader grunted and the ball went into the net and the kids saw that and said, “Wait, I know you. You are Thomas Anthony. The man that is good at everything. Yet doesn’t have any Superhuman powers.”

Ri heard that and then one of her Chosen Knights, the 2977th Dragon Knight appeared saying, “Ri, the scanners are going off. It seems that an alien is headed this way. And at a fast rate, too.”

Ri asked, “How fast are we talking?”

Dragon Knight answered, “Faster than a spaceship and meteorite combined.”

Ri heard that and asked, “Where is it headed exactly?”

Dragon Knight answered, “This exact location. Reach National Park.”

Ri heard that and asked, “What to do?”

While they were talking, Thomas continued playing the game with them and the leader grabbed the ball saying, “I, Hubert Vincent, the strongest man in the city.”

Thomas heard that and said, “And I’m Thomas Anthony, the man that can’t be touched by the police. Nice to meet you, leader of the Park Bullies.”

Hubert tossed the ball at his younger brother, Calvin Vincent and Calvin caught it and then started dribbling toward Thomas. Calvin smiled and said, “Here I go.”

He started dribbling the ball between his legs and started picking up the pace. While that was happening, Clydrilm appeared above the park and watched from above. Thomas smiled and started backing up and Calvin saw that and then passed it back to someone else saying, “He’s dangerous.”

Thomas said, “Come on now, I was hoping for you to come at me. But what a disappointment.”

A man ran passed Calvin and then tried to get out of Thomas’ reach, but the ball appeared in Thomas’ hands in an instant. Everyone saw that and Thomas started dribbling it down the court and then ran toward the hoop. They made a wall and Thomas stared at it and then tossed the ball over their heads and they saw that and turned to the side and Thomas spun around them and grabbed the ball again and Hubert grabbed Thomas’ right arm and pulled him back saying, “Our ball.”

Thomas smiled and launched the ball up and they saw that and then said, “It’s not going in.”

Thomas said, “In it goes.”

Thomas hit the ground hard and the ball went in 5 seconds later. They saw that and then looked at Thomas and Thomas stood up saying, “Don’t underestimate me.”

They said, “Enough of this. It’s time for you to collapse now.”

Thomas heard that and then said, “It seems that this game turned into a deathmatch.”

They smiled and they ran toward him and then a gunshot appeared and Thomas heard that and they stopped. The chief of police said, “Enough. If you don’t want to play ball, leave the court now.”

The Park Bullies started running away and then said, “This isn’t over Thomas Anthony. We will get what we want in the end.”

Thomas saluted to them saying, “Good enough.”

The chief of police said, “You owe me one, Thomas.”

Thomas said, “I don’t owe you shit. We’re even.”

He sighed and said, “I hate it when you are right, Thomas.”

Clydrilm appeared in front of Thomas saying, “Thomas Anthony, I challenge you to a duel.”

Thomas heard that and looked at him and everyone said, “Looks like an alien. Not Human, that’s for damn sure. Agreed. How does it know your name? Are you an alien, Thomas?”

Thomas answered, “Nope. I’m 100% Human. You are not.”

Clydrilm said, “That is correct. I am a Astarian from the planet Astaris. And I have been asked to fight you.”

Thomas heard that and then said, “By your family.”

He answered, “Nope. By my King.”

Thomas said, “Family.”

Clydrilm said, “You really are an idiot.”

Thomas said, “Thank you for agreeing.”

He said, “It’s not a compliment.”

Thomas said, “I know.”

Clydrilm sighed and then swung at him, but Thomas caught his fist and grunted and said, “Not flesh. Your skin is made of steel, correct.”

He smiled and said, “Correct. We Astarians are made of steel. Are you done analyzing me? Or are you going to keep talking?”

Thomas kicked his crotch and Thomas grunted and started shaking his foot around saying, “Damn, even that is made of steel.”

Everyone laughed and Clydrilm said, “Thomas, my entire body is made of steel. It’ll be difficult to defeat me with just your hands.”

Thomas sighed and then started swinging at him over and over again and Clydrilm asked, “Were you not listening to me?”

Thomas answered, “Oh, I was listening to you. I just don’t like listening to people. So, let’s have some fun.”

Clydrilm heard that and then tilted his head and Thomas uppercutted his chin and Clydrilm flew up a little. Ri saw that and then Thomas looked at his hands and then said, “Hm, left hand is fine. Yet my right hand broke, huh? Guess that I’ll fight with just a left fist.”

Clydrilm smiled and then Thomas punched Clydrilm’s stomach and Clydrilm flew back a yard and Clydrilm asked himself, “How is this possible? He’s overpowering me with every punch he swings.”

Thomas grabbed his right hand and then snapped it back into place. Thomas grunted and then started making a fist and opening it up over and over again. Dragon Knight said, “He knows how to reattach bones, huh?”

Ri said, “He truly is dangerous.”

The chief of police said, “Yes he is. That’s why everyone is afraid of him. He’s capable of doing things that a normal doctor can’t do.”

Clydrilm looked at him and then Thomas bent over to pick a rock up and then Clydrilm asked, “What do you intend to do with a rock? I’m made of steel.”

Thomas answered, “If I flick this rock correctly, then it’ll go fast enough to fly right through your skin.”

He said, “Bullshit.”

Thomas flicked it and the rock disappeared and flew right through his skin and Clydrilm felt that and looked down at him and then said, “Shit.”

Clydrilm flew toward him and Thomas lifted his foot up and kicked him straight in the face. But nothing happened and Clydrilm drove him through the wall and everyone saw that and Clydrilm said, “I will not lose to you.”

Thomas started bringing his elbow down into his back and Clydrilm grunted. Thomas lifted his arm up high and then Clydrilm stared at the ground to continue pushing him through buildings. Thomas brought his elbow down with a lot of force and Clydrilm coughed out blood and then flew through the last building which was made of titanium. As soon as Thomas hit it, he was unconscious, and so did Clydrilm. The match ended up in a tie. A girl appeared looking at both of them and saw blood coming out of both of them. Ri, Dragon Knight, and the chief of police arrived and saw that they were both unconscious and then the chief of police said, “You know, if Thomas has committed a crime by now, I would have arrested him. But he didn’t commit any crime.”

Ri said, “Take them back to base.”

The chief of police said, “Oh, you are taking them.”

Ri answered, “Yes. They interest me.”

As soon as Dragon Knight was about to pick up Clydrilm’s body, it disappeared before she could touch him. Ri said, “OK. Forget about him. Take him with us. He definitely won’t disappear.”

The Dragon Knight lifted Thomas up and Ri, Thomas, and Dragon Knight disappeared.
