"Where are you Mars?!" As Mars was still training inside his Mind Space, did he hear something from outside, echoing everywhere inside. Mars immediately left this place as he could clearly hear fear inside that call.
The white and black spaces turned into a vortex with Mars as the centre and simply returned back to him. The next moment someone shook Mars's body until he opened his eyes, making an agitated man in a white coat, Ari, visible. "I am sorry to break your meditation Mars, but - gulp - an enemy destroyer was sighted near Jupiter just now. They are the vanguard of the Void Army." Aris voice turned solemn after he finished, not trusting their abilities to defeat that giant ship and its Void Beasts on it.

Description:
A young man that got drawn in a conflict he should not be in. His soul is already tainted. The black veins are a sign of the already miserable state he is in. The guidance he received only made him step closer to his own demise. He should begin praying as they are after him already.

"Ari, how long can you guys hold them back?" "A bit over an hour? Maximum 70 minutes. Also we might be able to deal with one right now, but they always come in swarms, so backup should be on their way." "That will be enough. Do we have a Void Generator available or something else that produces Void Energy?" "We don't have one yet, but the corpses you brought back still gather some energy due to their Void bladder especially the Void Berserker. They are lying in the lab." "Bring me to them." "I will let a ship be prepared for you at the harbour." 'Time for some final preparation!'
- The moment Mars entered the room a smell of rotting and decay hit his face and he had to gather himself just to walk forward. Ari gave him a gas mask, but Mars had declined, thinking this might raise his Resilience, much to Aris confusion. "Sorry, but we haven't focused on building machines for preservation." Mars ignored him and went straight to the pile of corpses that layed in the centre. He could see a lot of tentacle monsters with big eyes and one giant unspeakable thing next to it.

Mars sat down near the huge pile of corpses and took a meditating position trying to follow his instincts he guided the swirls that were building up into his Energy Core that showed up before him. Ari that still stood there and saw the process happening just froze because of the immense pressure and killing intent he felt coming from that strange Core. It was as if his archenemy was lurking inside there.
Maybe it was because of the restrain and disgust he felt towards Void Energy or because of the corpses but he took his helmet off and let out the steak he had just eaten.
Mars was stoic and could not be disturbed by the sounds coming from Ari. He continued to compress the energy into his Energy Core, steadily gaining more and more Capacity. After reaching the one hour mark, did he stop because of his exp lack.

'Too bad I haven't enough exp or time for another 2 rounds...' Turning to Ari and the anxious Commander did Mars speak "How is the situation?" "We are keeping them at bay, using our small carriers and our own destroyers but a second one already arrived." "Then we have no time to lose, beam me up, Scotty!" The three man stopped in their movement and two looked strangely at the first man. "Ah sorry, this human said this in similar situations." "Anyway, let us get you to the harbour, your pilot will be Laurel Second Class Vice Captain and First Class Aviator. She will bring you to the battlefield."
Mars's thoughts: "Am I really already good enough for such an enormous battle? We don't even know their numbers and they could just keep coming... 1 hour. I just have to stall them so long, then I can show them what I got."
