"Year 2100 AD the world is deeply affected by global issues such as over population, health problems, food scarcity, land diversions, pollution, climate change, poverty and other global issues that needs humanity to transfer into another place where there is abundant resources."

"And so, at that same decade, people started their plans to solve hunger and overpopulation. And they launched them, the so-called Space Countries. These so called Space Countries are artificially made planets by man. Made by man themselves, compared to Earth, it is smaller like a moon and with the help of Science it has what like the Earth has."

"People started to migrate and have a living in these Space Countries and soon after, after many decades, groups of Space Countries are completely established. Later than the same year of 2100 AD, there are more than 13 Space Countries floating in the solar system."

"At the same years, technology became advance, that is, specially if its made for military purposes which gains military control and made fear to mankind."

"A so called Robosuits were invented by Ozone Space Country. These Robosuits are robots built for wars which are driven by its trained pilot. Technologically advance, these Robosuits can annihilate an entire Space Country in an overnight."

"Tides became bitter when the Ozone Space Country, the 13th Space Country, built so many Robosuits and trained so many pilots to establish power and fear to both the Space Countries and Earth. Until the day came that it was the day that Ozone Space Country became "Ozone Empire"

"In 2120 AD, when the menace began. The Ozone Empire uses its advance technology of Robosuits in Military and became the most powerful Space Country in the solar system. The Ozone Empire completely controls the solar system both the 13 Space Countries and Earth Federation countries. It is just like the Roman Empire during classical times. Even the Earth Federation (Planet Earth's United Nations) cannot stand against the Ozone Empire's will and power to control both the Space Countries and the planet Earth."

"However, few groups from Space Countries and groups from Earth stand up and fight Ozone Empire's tyranny. They became the resistance, the rebels, known as the Allied Force. But most of them disappeared and few only existed."

"They said that if you're from space colonies, you are strong? He he he he. Let me see," said the student near Kyrie. It seemed like he was the bully in the class.

"Gee, he really looks cool."

"Wow, he really has a cool vibe."

"I'm curious about the subjects they teach in Ozone schools."

"I wonder what lessons they have in Ozone schools."

These were the hushed remarks circulating among Kyrie's classmates as they observed him engaging in a warm-up exercise for karate in the gymnasium during their Physical Education class.

During a Physical Education class in the gymnasium, Kyrie's peers watched him perform Karate-do warm-up exercises, among them bullies eager to challenge him.

"They say space colonists are strong? Let's see about that," taunted a bully, eyeing Kyrie. The gym was alive with activity, yet not all were well-meaning. Unbeknownst to the bullies, Kyrie was prepared to challenge their assumptions and demonstrate true strength.

______________________

During a gym class, Kyrie's karate warm-up caught his classmates' attention. Tension brewed as bullies, thinking they could target him, watched closely.

"Hey! Kyrie Kata! Let's have a short match!" said one of the bullies.

"Are you in?" the bully asked for a small match of Karatedo.

The bully of the class, Rex Bono, challenged Kyrie to a Karatedo match in a 3-round battle. Since the teacher was not around, they saw an opportunity to have a show up—a little bit of exhibition.

"Huh? Hmmmm," Kyrie said and seemed to ignore Rex a little.

"Or are you afraid?" said Rex.

"I'll be giving you time to surrender" Rex added, teasing Kyrie.

"Ha ha ha, you're no match for me, space boy," Rex declared, showing off his biceps.

Kyrie tilted his head, a subtle smile playing on his lips as he calmly regarded Rex. The challenge hung in the air, and Kyrie's classmates eagerly gathered, sensing an imminent clash.

______________________

As the students gathered around the matting, the atmosphere buzzed with anticipation. Linda, Sofia, and Bethany, caught up in their badminton game, shifted their attention to the unfolding spectacle.

"Oh, look! He's challenging Kyrie to a Karate match," Linda exclaimed, drawing the attention of her friends.

"Huh? Does Kyrie know Karate-do?" Bethany inquired with curiosity.

"Let's watch and see," Sofia suggested, and the trio joined the growing crowd, eager to witness the unexpected clash.

The class gathered around, creating a makeshift arena for the impending Karate-do match between Rex and Kyrie. The air was filled with a mix of excitement and uncertainty.

"This is interesting. I wonder if our new classmate from Ozone knows Karatedo?" Linda mused, her eyes fixed on the unfolding drama beside Sofia, who awaited the next scene with keen interest. The schoolyard became a stage for unexpected camaraderie and a showcase of talents, setting the scene for a memorable event in the students' school days.

"Ha? I think he's good at that," Sofia said.

__________________________

The match ignited with a burst of energy...

Twuumfff!!!

Rex, renowned for his swift Karate Chops, lunged at Kyrie with unparalleled speed!

Twamfff!!!

To everyone's astonishment, Kyrie effortlessly evaded Rex's powerful attack. Rex, visibly agitated, couldn't comprehend how Kyrie managed to elude his signature move.

"What the?" Rex uttered in frustration, his confidence shaken.

Kyrie, with closed eyes, had skillfully dodged Rex's formidable Karate Chop. The onlookers, including Bethany, were left in awe.

"Wow, did he just do that?" Bethany marveled, captivated by Kyrie's agility.

Seizing the opportunity, Kyrie swiftly seized Rex's arms and executed a flawless throw!

Twamp!!!

Rex hit the ground hard, emitting a resounding grunt.

"Aaaaaaaarrrghhh!!!" Rex groaned loudly, feeling the impact.

But the intensity didn't wane. Kyrie, driven by determination, launched another attack.

Kyrie's fist collided with the floor!

Craaassssshhh!!!

The tiles shattered into pieces, creating a dramatic spectacle. The spectators gasped at the raw power Kyrie unleashed.

"Ha? Ulk!" Rex mumbled, lying flat on the floor, realizing that Kyrie deliberately refrained from harming him further.

Fortunately for Rex, Kyrie chose to demonstrate his strength without inflicting harm.

"I have no time to play," Kyrie declared sternly, standing up and leaving an atmosphere charged with intensity and admiration.

"Playing is for kids only," Kyrie asserted, emphasizing his focus on more serious matters as he walked away.

"Ulk, he broke the floor tile" Rex exclaimed, still in awe of Kyrie's strength.

"Did you see that?"

"Wow. He just broke the floor using his fist."

"He has that kind of strength!"

"Rex is lucky he was not hit. Or his face will be good as like dogs from now on."

"Ha ha ha ha ha."

The onlookers, including Sofia, were left astounded by Kyrie's display of power.

"He's strong," Sofia acknowledged, her admiration evident.

"Unbelievable, he breaks the tiles in one punch only," murmured their classmates, echoing the collective amazement that filled the room.

"How did he do that? He's that strong," Sofia exclaimed in surprise.

Tut tut!!!

"Sir, a call from Commander Barbosa, an incoming call," Lt. Farah announced, holding the phone.

"Please, go ahead and answer, Lieutenant Farah," Major Lexus instructed from his seat behind the driver. Major Lexus, accompanied by his crew, once again loaded the Ozone space shuttle, which was discreetly stationed in the Earth's atmosphere above Manila Bay.

"Maybe the Earth Force commander felt that something fell in their line of defense," Major Lexus said, sitting firmly and wearing his maroon military tuxedo.

"Perhaps the Earth Force commander senses a breach in their defense," Major Lexus added.

Eagerly waiting for the right moment, they were prepared with specialized machinery to retrieve Kyrie's Flight Cybot and the Green Ox Robosuit, submerged in Manila Bay since yesterday.

_________________________

Tut tut tut!!!

Commander Barbosa Hayes, the highest-ranking official and supreme authority of Earth Force, concluded the call as the Earth military's most senior leader.

"Yes, Lieutenant Farah? Any details of the commander's call?" Major Lexus inquired as Lieutenant Farah answered General Barbosa's call.

They engaged in a brief conversation with General Barbosa of Earth Force.

Tut tut tut!

The call concluded swiftly.

"Sir, Commander Barbosa has a message for us," Lieutenant Farah conveyed, sensing a certain unease in General Barbosa's tone. It seemed that General Barbosa was not entirely pleased with their conversation.

Lieutenant Farah shakes her head. Shaking the head is a common non-verbal gesture used to express disagreement, disapproval, or simply means "no."

"Hhhhmmm, I see," Major Lexus said, indicating that Commander Barbosa did not want to hear any of their opinions on retrieving the Flight Cybot.

_________________________

A determined squadron of Earth Force Ships approached Manila Bay, ready for a vital operation. Their mission, prompted by Major Lexus's report, involved locating and recovering scattered debris and Robosuits in the bay. Fueled by urgency and commitment, the naval vessels navigated the waters with unwavering focus.

Tut tut tut!

A phone beeps, signifying a call had end.

"Seriously? What does that crap want? Does he know that this is Earth and not Space Countries anymore?" said General Barbosa upon ending the call.

"They are asking if they could proceed with their own search? Ha! No way! This is Earth! Not Space Country!" exclaimed General Barbosa.

"He has no agenda in this operation! We are in charge here! After we retrieve the fallen debris and Robosuits, we'll deliver them promptly!" said General Barbosa while in the control room of their Earth Force Ship.

"He doesn't have a say in this operation! Our team is in full control! Once we recover the debris and Robosuits, we'll promptly hand them over!" General Barbosa asserted from the control room of their Earth Force Ship.

"Sir, shall we commence the operation?" the Earth trooper asked while maneuvering the Earth Force Ship.

"Sir, shall we begin our search?" inquired the Earth trooper, awaiting the General's order.

"We will commence at 1400 hours. Get ready today," General Barbosa said.

___________________________

At the same time, Major Lexus and his crew at the Ozone space shuttle remain on standby within the atmosphere of Manila Bay.

"We'll use the Blue Shark Robosuit to retrieve the Green Ox Robosuit, but primarily the mysterious Cybot," Major Lexus explains the plan.

"Sir, what about the Earth Force? What if they notice us interfering with their operations?" Lt. Farah asks.

"Don't mind them; we'll use an unknown submarine, a research submarine, so that they'll think we're only on an exploration. A local offered us a rental," Major Lexus replied.

"We'll transfer to a civilian research submarine after one hour," Major Lexus added.

"Pay them no attention. We'll employ an undisclosed submarine, typically used for research purposes, so they'll assume we're merely on an exploration mission. A local contact has arranged the rental; we'll make the switch to a civilian research submarine within an hour," Major Lexus concluded.

"Hmmm. That's smart, sir," Lieutenant Gyro said while at the space shuttle's driver's control seat.

"Gidiyaaaappp!" Kyrie shouted while expertly riding a horse.

Heeeeeeeeiiiiiinggghh!!!

Kyrie's horse neighed, leaping over the barricades.

"He's also got horse-riding skills that could rival a cowboy!"

"He's not just in the show; he's stealing the entire spotlight!"

"He is seriously leaving us all in awe."

"They are on a whole other level academically at Ozone."

Statements echoed enthusiastically by Kyrie's impressed classmates.

"He's a jack of all trades, isn't he?" Sofia remarked.

"He's from Ozone," Bethany added with a sense of admiration while watching Kyrie excel in their horseback riding activity at school.

"Oh, look at him, breezing through our lessons in advance!" Linda exclaimed excitedly as Kyrie showcased his skills with a daring barricade jump on horseback.

_____________________________

After a while, the horse riding instructor declared, "Alright! That's a wrap for now – it's morning break!"

"Let's shake things up and try the new burger joint," Bethany proposed to Sofia and the rest of their classmates.

"The one with the sizzling grilled burgers? Ha ha ha," Linda chimed in with a mischievous grin.

"Hmm? Oh, ha ha ha. Let's round up some fellow students; we're on a mission for tasty burgers!" Sofia exclaimed, her eyes scanning the surroundings for potential burger enthusiasts passing by.

"Ha? An attendance," Bethany exclaimed while glancing at what their class was signing.

It was an attendance sheet for the Physical Education subject.

"Okay, thanks," Sofia said after filling up her details.

However, she noticed a small detail on the attendance sheet.

"Ha?" Sofia exclaimed.

"Kyrie didn't fill up the next attendance," Sofia added, realizing that Kyrie's signature was missing from the sheet.

"Kyrie Kata? He didn't sign the attendance. This is another one for today. Kindly inform him; he's half absent if not more," the instructor informed her.

"Yes, sir, I'll find him in the room," Sofia replied. Sofia left the others, making her way through the bustling hallways, determined to locate Kyrie within the labyrinthine corridors of the school building.

Sofia embarked on a quest to locate Kyrie within the bustling school premises.

"(Where could he be?)" Sofia muttered to herself, a sense of intrigue and determination driving her search.

However, Kyrie was nowhere to be found, as if he had vanished into thin air, adding an unexpected twist to Sofia's search.
