Team up and training

They returned to Croatia all the while making stops to train a bit here and there.

Back in Croatia, they met up with Petra, Ivana, and Marina.

The shock on their faces when they saw Kakashi's and Okuma's powers were priceless, in fact, they were so priceless that Ivan took some pictures at the moment of shock.

"We should meet tomorrow in the forest, to show you all how to use the powers." (Ivan)

Later that day they gave the protein bars they made again laced with the fairy water to each of them since they seemed smart and warned them not to get too excited when they wake up since that happened to Kakashi and Okuma who went flying out of their beds

"Ahahahahahah I Can't believe it! You actually went flying in a motel?" (Ivana)

"Yes, I rolled, and he flew, however short it was ahahahah." (Kakashi)

"That reminds me I got meat rolls waiting for me home… I will see you all tomorrow after my powers activate." (Petra)

"I'm coming also Petra, I always crave that meat roll since the first time I tried it!" (Ivana)

"OK, see ya all tomorrow then in the forest!" (Kakashi and Ivan together)

"Is it true that I can't use the power until tomorrow?" (Marina)

"Ah, yes, you have to sleep eight hours to be able to do it since it has to flow through your body when it is in REM sleep state, I think I memorized it alright." (Kakashi)

"Yes, you did young mister Kakashi." (Kage)

"T-t-t-that is the thing from TV?!?!" (Marina)

"To be honest, that was my 23rd cousin on your networks." (Kage)

"Ah, OK, you are both scary. So if we don't fight they will attack anyway in a year from now?" (Marina)

"Yes, the creation of the Compound sent an energy wave through the galaxy and your only choice is to train and fight." (Kage)

"What if it didn't send out a wave of energy? Would we still have to fight?" (Marina)

"Well, they would notice when someone exited the force field around Earth" (Kage)

"OK, so all inhabited planets have a force field around them? And if one leaves it they have a short time to build up their strength and face the universe?" (Marina)

"Exactly, but if they attack someone before the deadline passes, they can be attacked too." (Kage)

"Alright, that would be enough to fill my curiosity" (Marina while waving to everyone and leaving)

"You see why I picked her? All those other girls are just to have fun with talking and joking, but she is special, she asks those kinds of questions." (Ivan)

"I can see that, Ivan, so you have broken up with all of them?" (Kakashi)

"Yeah, I will settle with one... I don't need more than 1 girlfriend." (Ivan)

"Let's have fun tonight, and tomorrow we train!" (Kakashi)

"Yeah, we can't even use the powers right now." (Ivan)

"Kakashi lets train a bit and then go to sleep since we have some time." (Okuma)

"Alright senpai, I'll train instead, but later we party." (Kakashi)

They trained in a small forest near the house with only a fraction of their powers to see how they can use the powers even if it is just a fraction, they also tried switching the types of energy.

"Switching from light to heat is really easy, but the other way around is hard." (Okuma)

"I understand what you are saying, it's hard for me too, but Kage-sama says that we need to picture a fire or some kind of light bulb to produce light energy." (Kakashi)

They continued practicing for a bit of time and tried as many energy conversions as they could, and in the morning they went to train with everyone.

Everyone said their greetings and went deep into the forest.

"Kage sama." (Kakashi)

"Yes, young mister Kakashi" (Kage)

"Why can't I produce power enough to destroy an equivalent of a skyscraper?" (Kakashi)

"That is because you have to break through, and since your species never fought in interplanetary wars I don't know how you can breakthrough." (Kage)

"OK, I will do my best to break through, I hope I can make it before the battle starts." (Kakashi)

"Watch out, Petra missed her target!" (Kage)

"Whaa-" (Kakashi)

He got blown away with the wind, powered by Petra's kinetic energy she built up and ended up with his face in the dirt.

"Petra, please be more careful next time." (Kakashi)

Everyone laughed wholeheartedly, and they continued their training and got better by the day, and after 2 weeks they were all on the same level of power.

The same day Ivana tried to concentrate light into a spot and Okuma was talking with Ivan, and they were passing by:

"I would love to know what kind of compound this B52 is, I still can't und - OUCH!"

"I'm sorry, Okuma, I was only trying to concentrate light into a spot to make fire" (Ivana)

Again, the forest was filled with laughter and Okuma's butt had a black dot on it. They needed no chants for their power since they used physics but did it all just with imagination.

The time was passing and everyone stayed at the same power level, and Josip was given a few vials of water from the fairy lake, and he was told to use them when they couldn't protect from attacking aliens who managed to get by the first line of defence.
