Chap 1 out of 2

=========================================================

A few minutes earlier, Darius and Harmony were deep in conversation at their luxurious home, the atmosphere light and relaxed despite the heavy topic they were discussing.

Darius, lounging on a plush couch with Zuri curled up beside him, had been mulling over a way to better prepare the people of Earth for the upcoming tournament.

His white robes, adorned with golden accents, glimmered softly in the afternoon light as he sipped on a cup of tea.

Harmony, always the more energetic of the two, paced back and forth, her mind racing with ideas. "Look, Darius, these humans—they're tough, but they're also scattered. They need direction, someone to lead them and show them how to harness their powers properly."

Darius nodded, a playful grin spreading across his face. "You're not wrong, Harmony. But how do we reach all of them? I mean, I could put up a sign, but I doubt that'll do the trick."

Harmony stopped pacing and turned to face her brother, her eyes lighting up with excitement. "What if we made an announcement? A worldwide announcement, where you invite all the aspiring heroes, mutants, and the gifted to join an organization—a place where they can train and prepare for what's coming."

Darius raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "An organization? Like a school?"

"More like a training ground," Harmony clarified, a mischievous smile on her lips. "We'll call it The Agency. It'll be a place where those with powers can learn to become suitable warriors for the tournament. And who better to lead it than you, the guy who could end most fights with a snap of his fingers?"

Darius chuckled, leaning back into the couch. "The Agency, huh? I like it. But if we're going to do this, we've got to make it big. I'm talking every screen, every device, every platform. We'll make sure the whole world sees it."

Harmony nodded, already planning out the details in her head. "Leave that to me. You just focus on what you're going to say."

Darius grinned, feeling the familiar rush of excitement. "Oh, don't worry, sis. I've got that covered."

Moments later, across the globe, screens flickered as a sudden interruption cut through every streaming platform, television channel, and social media feed. People in cities, towns, and villages stopped what they were doing as a live broadcast took over their devices.

The image that appeared was one that would be hard to forget: Darius, with his long white hair flowing around him like a halo, standing against a backdrop of swirling galaxies, his golden robes gleaming.

He flashed a wide, mischievous grin, immediately capturing the attention of millions. "Hey there, Earthlings!" he began, his voice carrying a warmth and charisma that made it impossible to look away.

"I know, I know—most of you are probably wondering who this dashing guy with the fabulous hair is and why I'm hijacking your screens. Well, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Darius, and I'm here to help."

He paused, giving the audience a moment to take it all in before continuing. "Now, I'm sure by now you've all noticed the big, ominous countdown in the sky. Yeah, it's pretty hard to miss, right? And I bet some of you are freaking out a little, thinking, 'What does this mean? What's going to happen?' Well, let me tell you—it's not the end of the world, but it is going to be one heck of a challenge."

Darius leaned in closer to the camera, his tone becoming more serious but still lighthearted.

"As you may know, in about ten years, there's going to be a tournament—one that'll decide the fate of your world. But don't worry, I'm not here to scare you. I'm here to give you a fighting chance."

He straightened up, his grin returning. "That's why I'm inviting all of you—the heroes, the mutants, the gifted, anyone who's got a spark of power within them—to join me at The Agency.

It's a new organization I'm putting together, and our goal is simple: to train you to become the best warriors you can be. We're talking serious training—physical, mental, and spiritual."

"You'll learn to control your powers, hone your skills, and become the champions Earth needs."

Darius spread his arms wide, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "So if you've got what it takes—or even if you think you might—come find us. The Agency will be open to everyone who's ready to step up and take on the challenge. We'll be waiting for you, and trust me, it's going to be one wild ride."

He winked at the camera, his smile infectious. "So, what do you say, Earth? Are you ready to make history? Let's get started!"

With that, the broadcast ended as abruptly as it had begun, leaving millions of people around the world buzzing with excitement and curiosity.

The announcement had been heard loud and clear, and across the globe, those with powers—whether they were seasoned heroes or just discovering their abilities—began to consider what it meant to join The Agency.

From the bustling streets of New York to the remote villages in Asia, the impact of Darius' message was immediate. Conversations sparked among families, friends, and even strangers.

News outlets quickly picked up the story, analyzing the potential significance of The Agency and what it could mean for the future.

In the halls of power, world leaders convened emergency meetings, discussing the implications of such an organization and how it might shift the balance of global power.

Some were skeptical, others were intrigued, but all of them recognized that Darius was not someone to be taken lightly.

But for Darius and Harmony, the real work was just beginning. The floodgates had been opened, and soon, people from all walks of life would come seeking guidance, training, and a chance to become something greater.

And as they watched the world react to the announcement, Harmony turned to Darius with a satisfied grin. "I think that went pretty well, don't you?"

Darius chuckled, leaning back in his chair. "Yeah, sis, I think we just made history. Now let's see who answers the call."
