Chapter 1 - 1. Ascension

In a far away planet, a planet so close to the sun it can be mistaken for a second sun itself. A figure trudges in the hot sun, his feet leaving deep marks on the desert earth as he takes each step, his whole body covered in what seems to be like white bandages and a long hooded coat above it stretched to his knees. As he walks, a streak of light seems to drop from the sky right toward him with magnificent speed like no other, the light drops with a heavy sound, spreading the dust from the place all around. As the dust settles, there's a massive hole created where the man was walking as another figure rises from the dust. A huge man that seems to be made of metal stands tall with a hammer twice his size as he looks at the bandaged figure who was once standing where he is now, glaring daggers at him as he shouts "Did you think you'll kill my brothers and get away with it?" as he continues to glare at the hooded man while strongly clutching his hammer in one hand.

The hooded figure simply stands in an upright stance seeming to gaze at the huge metal man before him even though his face is covered and shows no sign of him being able to see, talk or even breathe through it. Anger and disdain is written on the metal man's face as he surges forward, one leg leaving a deep mark on the earth as he charges forward toward the hooded figure in frightening speed with his hammer. Just before the hammer makes impact with the chest of the hooded man, he coils his whole body to the left barely dodging the strike as the impact of the strike destroys the surrounding area where his body stood a second ago and as he does, a blade seems to fly out of his hands streaking accurately to the neck of the man attacking him in a split second, as the blade lands, it bounces off the neck of the man with a dull "click" sound where the man appears unharmed and even unbothered by the attempt. He catches the dagger on his left hand and with a loud "crunch" the dagger is mere pieces as he closes his hand and opens it, dropping the remains of the metal to the ground and as he does he calls out to the hooded man saying "did you think this will hurt me??, I'm the sovereign of hammers", and just as he finishes saying it two more daggers clatter harmlessly away from his neck, he grunts and lunges at the hooded man with his large hammer as he throws more daggers bouncing harmlessly from his neck, he strikes with his large hammer connecting with air as the hooded figure once again swerves out of reach of his hammer but before he could completely avoid it the once large hammer shrinks to a medium size and the man once again swings at him but the hooded man barely ducks in time to avoid the hammer coming to the right side of his face, as he raises his head he sees two short handed hammers aiming for his head and once again dodging to his side while letting more daggers flying to the neck of the metal man who continues his onslaught unbothered by any of the hooded man's flying daggers, as he continues his barrages the hooded man expertly avoids every one of his attacks while still throwing seemingly endless daggers, as the fight goes on the distance between them grows and the huge man throws his two short handed hammers at the hooded man with frightening speed as another two appear in both his hands at once which he sends flying to the hooded man again is as two more large hammers of different shapes appear at his side as he grabs each in one hand and jumps in to the air aiming for where the hooded man stands. on the other side the hooded man struggles as he dodges the four short hammers as each time he dodges one hammer it returns once again aiming for him again and again, synchronized with the other three, just as he dodges more of the short hammers the metal man appears above him swinging the two large hammers at him as the four short hammers work in sync with him to make sure there is no space to escape, the huge man has a smile on his face as he says "I have you now, you rat!!!", as his large hammers connect to the body of the hooded man what is left is only an empty feeling as what was the hooded man's body a second ago was now nothing but smoke, the metal man is stunned and as he takes a step back, the smoke instantly creeps closer the form of the hooded man returning once more from the smoke as he instantly raises his fist aiming for the metal man's face while his left leg rises and kicks the man's knees with a loud metallic "crunch" as it bends in an unnatural angle, the figure of the metal man is falling face flat just as the fist of the hooded man connects with his chin as it gives off a resounding metallic "thunk" sound as his neck bends all the way to the left with cracks appearing on his face and the shape of the hooded man's hands showing on his chin, but just as quickly the cracks on the face of the huge man disappear as his leg moves back to it's rightful position and as he's about to rise the hooded man jumps into the air throwing his legs into the air right to the face of the metal man and pushes back with full force sending his whole body flying back as he creates space between him and the metal man while turning his body midair he sends daggers flying in the direction of the metal man. Immediately his feet land on the ground he once again sends two daggers flying with one arm to the metal man's neck whose still recovering from the blow and dusting his face and eyes, as the daggers streak straight to the huge man with most hitting his neck and two hitting his eyes with precision and bouncing off yet again but it's not over yet as the hooded man unsheathes another dagger, longer than normal, oozing with a dark and sinister aura holding it in his right hand, he twists his whole body and throws it with full force, it streaks with impeccable speed right toward his now recovered opponent.

The metal man stands finally seeing the sinister dagger coming at him in high speed, he grits his teeth sensing the danger the dagger poses unlike the others the hooded man has thrown so far, he shifts his massive weight doing all he can to avoid the dagger as it streaks right to him grazing the right side of his neck and sailing past, he smirks thinking to himself "that was nothing much after all" just as the right side of his neck which was grazed by the dagger ruptures with a "splurt" sound and molten and metallic colored liquid pours out from the wound. The man grits his teeth in pain and goes to cover the wound but before his hand reaches the hooded is already upon him as if appearing out of thin air, he sends an uppercut right to his jaw which dents his chin making the metal man shout in pain as his wound also worsens making him take a step back.

As the hooded man surges forward once again, the metal man sends out multiple hammers appearing out of thin air straight at him, he dodges swiftly while trying to close the distance but more hammers start appearing out of nowhere heading straight at him, giant hammers materialize from above and more rupture the sand as they come from below with many from both sides, he dodges, twists and turns and weaves in between dozens of hammers that come at him, a giant hammer ruptures from below carrying him up where another giant hammer is coming down
