~~~ Time Skip ~~~

     I was back home, though Amazonite and Lapis 3 asked me to tell them where I lived so they could visit every 'now and then.' About three days after I went back home, Lapis 3 and Amazonite had shown up saying they wanted to hang out for 'a bit.' They haven't left since then, and it has been two weeks. They seem to have decided themselves to be my unofficial personal guards, or as they call it 'overprotective friends, who are in no way attempting to serve me.' Lapis 3 found that she has preferred to obtain an earth name for herself, so from then on she declared herself to be Lisa.

(Y/N): "Lisa, Amazonite. I wanted to do some training and I need someone there to help me. It involves both, observation, as well as projectiles for certain tests. My aura can almost cover the whole block, so I thought it was about time to try to upgrade it."

Lisa: "Very well then, where shall we train?"

(Y/N): "In the backyard of course."

     We walked outside and I stretched, getting ready for my experiment. I took a deep breathe, and then relaxed.

(Y/N): "Here goes nothing."

    I am nothing. I am everything. I exist, I am (Y/N), I......am.....the void. I encompass all that was, is, will be. All that wasn't, that isn't and that won't be. I am the nothing that only exists at the end of all existence. I felt my aura extend, but it was very different. It felt compact, and it felt very draining. I opened my eyes to see I was covered in pitch black flames. They seemed as though they were made of the shadows of shadows, something that was blacker than black, emptier than emptiness. It was a thin layer, but a layer none the less. I looked up at Lisa and Amazonite.

(Y/N): "How do I look?"

Amazonite: "You... look at though you are a walking shadow, like you have escaped the two dimensional confines you were once trapped in."

(Y/N): "Very poetic."

     I started to sweat, starting to feel very drained. The black flames disappeared as I started to breath heavily, my muscles exhausted.

(Y/N): "Well, whatever that was, it wasn't something I could maintain for long."

Amazonite: "There was something about it though. It looked and felt like you were the vacuum of space, constantly, but slowly drawing in air to fill something that couldn't be filled."

(Y/N): "Like a black hole, I see. I will call it my black hole form. Hmm, I feel like I could do better. Well for now that's what that is."

Lisa: "Would you like to continue with the training?"

(Y/N): "After maybe three minutes of meditating, that took quite a bit out of me. I can stand, but I feel like I won't be running or swinging anything."

Lisa: "I see."

     I nodded as I sat down, closing my eye and focusing on my breathing, drawing it in, holding, and then letting it out. I would draw it in, hold it, let it out, and draw it back in again. Repeating the cycle.

Amazonite: "Why do you make that noise when you do that?"

(Y/N): "You mean my breathing?"

Amazonite: "Yes. What is the purpose of that?"

(Y/N): "So that I do not suffocate. I may be able to survive without breathing, but if I do not breathe, then my lung will slowly deteriorate which is very painful, luckily they regenerate before being damaged beyond repair, but it is still an agonizing pain that I would rather not live with. For normal humans, a lack of breathing results first, in pain, then in unconsciousness, then death."

     I heard Amazonite stop pacing, her feet silent.

Amazonite: "I see."

(Y/N): "A lot of, 'annoying habits', that humans have are often for survival, like eating, drinking, sleeping, breathing, and well, relieving themselves of waste."

Amazonite: "Well, I guess I can see that."

     I got back up, feeling refreshed.

(Y/N): "Man, I don't know why, but meditating really just refreshes my body."

     I did another stretch and and took a deep breath.

(Y/N): "Black hole form, take 2. Test, projectile interaction. Hypothesis, projectiles that come in contact with my void aura should pass through my body, exiting behind me without leaving a wound. Lisa, I want you, to throw that pebble at me."

Lisa: "You sure?"

(Y/N): "Well, when I activate it, yes. I don't have a LOT of time to practice. So, I will also be simultaneously testing for my aura's reaction to melee attacks, and that is where you come in Amazonite, I took a bat out of the garage. I want you to swing it at me when I activate my aura. So, please grab the bat and come over here, and Lisa, if you could pick up the rock, then everything will be ready for the beginning of the test. Oh but first, Black hole form take 2. Test, blunt weapon interaction. Hypothesis, weapon will pass through me harmlessly."

Amazonite: "Okay then."

     Lisa picked up the pecked up the pebble, as Amazonite walked over with the bat. I took a deep breathe, and activated my void aura. Lisa threw the rock as Amazonite swung the bat. The bat stopped just before it could hit me, and the rock was static in the air, a millimeter in front of my chest. My draining stamina seemed to have been replenished. Amazonite let go of the bad is it was suspended in the air. I stepped back, the two objects falling to the ground as they left my aura.

(Y/N): "Okay, that was interesting, while we still have time for the test, Amazonite, I need you to punch me, right now, before time runs out."

     Amazonite was shocked for a moment before recovering quickly, and then she threw a punch, right at me. Again, the fist stopped before it actually hit me. I felt another surge of rejuvenation. Amazonite was attempting to, and failing to remove her hand from my aura, the only signs of the attempt was the struggling arm, and a feeling I had, like before, a refreshment but very very slight. I stepped back, freeing Amazonite's arm, and dissipating my aura.

(Y/N): "Okay, result of black hole aura two, rock and bat stopped before contact. Reason, the energy from the movement of the objects were absorbed on contact with my aura. Aura most useful in combat, where energy can be absorbed with each offense the enemy takes."

Amazonite: "Energy absorption?"

(Y/N): "Energy I can feed on. Whatever energy I absorb, I can use, it rejuvenates me, which allows me to keep up my aura longer, problem is, I do not know my limits, and I do not know what happens if I am overloaded past my limits. Overloading is possibly going to be a double edge sword. Something that has benefits as well, as drawbacks, such as when I overload myself with electricity. When I do that, I gain incredible strength and speed, draw back, it is more than my body can handle as I slowly destroy myself, so, that is something to be weary of. Definitely going to want to talk to Yellow and Blue about this."

Amazonite: "Okay then. Wait, overloading yourself with lightning? Like back when we first met?"

(Y/N): "Yes that, except I am not usually in a cloned berserk mode. But I am usually pushing myself to dangerous limits."

     I picked up the bat and took it to the garage. After putting it away, I teleported to the palace. I made my way to Yellow's room. 

(Y/N): "Hello Yellow. How's it going?"

     She jumped a bit turning around to see me.

Yellow: "Oh (Y/N). I am doing great. Is there something you needed?"

(Y/N): "Yes, I wish to spar. I got a new trick up my sleeve, and I also need some advice after. But first, sparring, if you are up to it of course."

Yellow: "Well of course, one moment."

     She stood up and dusted herself off.

Yellow: "Okay, so to the arena."

     I nod as we make our way.

Yellow: "Is there anything about this surprise you wish to inform me of?"

(Y/N): "If I told you about it, it wouldn't be a surprise, now would it. But it does have something to do with my aura."

Yellow: "Oh of course, let me guess, you finally figured out how to manipulate time?"

(Y/N): "Oh of course not, that was a dead end. But now that I think about it, I may want to continue trying, a door may have opened, but no, I can't do anything with time at the moment."

Yellow: "I see."

     We made it to the arena. I teleported to the other side.

(Y/N): "Now, I should warn you. You do not want to hold back on me. Because here is a little secret. I have been using my aura, but only in it's replicated form, I finally figured out how to draw it out in it's pure, uncensored form."

Yellow: "Oh? I can't wait to see this."

(Y/N): "Oh, honestly, of what I heard, I love how it looks. Now, prepare yourself, because I won't be holding back."

     Yellow was surprised as my voice changed, doubling in on itself, intensifying. I teleported next to Yellow, hammer in my hands, excitement filling me as I embraced it. She attempted to swat at me, and that is when I activated my black hole mode. Yellow's hand slammed into my aura, stopping as i felt power surge through me, I jumped away before she could notice that her hand was stuck for a moment. I charged at her, feeling harder, better, faster, stronger. She blasted lightning at me, I took the hit and felt it, flowing through me, pure energy being absorbed, then I felt it. My limit shattered, everything seemed to slow, and I knew what happened when I overloaded my energy, I became overclocked. After two steps the world returned to normal as I continued to charge, Yellow surprised at my sudden surge forward. I brought out my hammer, but it was different, it was bigger, darker, heavier and it had one very important feature.... spikes. I swung it at Yellow as I got close, I tried to overclock myself again to get her before she could retreat, and it worked, kind of. As soon as my hammer connected with Yellow I felt myself drain entirely as we both were blown backward. My aura was off, I was sweating, my weapon was gone, and I was unable to get back up.

(Y/N): "Okay, you win, I am drained, literally."

Yellow: "What in the world was that?"

(Y/N): "That, was my pure aura. It allows me to, get this, absorb energy. Wow, that was the first time I absorbed pure electrical energy, that was quite the rush, and overwhelming."

Yellow: "You can absorb energy? That would make you potentially unstoppable, so why did you stop?"

(Y/N): "Well, oh, let's use energy as an example. So, before I was using my aura in a copied, weak version, an imitation of something else, so in this case, my aura was a spark of static electricity from socks on a carpet. Weak, but still something. Now, my pure aura, is like a lightning bolt. Significantly more energy, power, strength, and so on, which means it uses up much more energy. So, I can only use it on it's own for maybe five seconds. But if I am in combat, then I can use my opponents energy to fuel my own form, problem. I can't just absorb an infinite amount of energy, because, well let's say I have a stamina bar, that stamina is used to fuel my aura, my stamina bar has a cap, when I absorb energy, it fills up the bar again, but if I absorb more energy then I can store, then it seems to overclock me, allowing me to move faster, but this overclock takes up more energy, as a way to just burn off that extra energy it can't store. Now, I can manually overclock myself but problem, it uses a lot more energy than normal, so it turn five seconds into maybe one or two, or at least one or two seconds in my perspective, in reality, it is much shorter. Also, that burst, I think I can not only absorb energy, but when exerting myself, say to hit my opponent, my aura will use my energy to enhance that attack, in an all out blast of energy, which I did not expect."

Yellow: "I see, so you have an ability to become a glass canon as the humans call it?"

(Y/N): "Close, a glass canon is a phrase used to describe something with a lot of power, but essentially no defense. A canon being a very strong weapon, and glass being one of the most fragile materials on existence. I am kind of the opposite. I have a lot of defense, but no power unless I want to sacrifice my defense, this would be a last resort move. Something that is risky and to be used only if you believe to be your only choice, or a guaranteed win. Since, attacking makes me unable to fight afterward, I have to make my one attack count, if I don't then my opponent will get back up and finish me off while I am helpless."

Yellow: "Well then, I am glad you could share with me, and that we could do this again. Maybe someday you could actually beat me."

     I stood up and chuckled.

(Y/N): "Maybe, maybe not. I need to head back home, but it was nice catching up."

     I waved as I teleported home, in my room. It was dark, and I had a fairly progressive day, it was about time I turned in for the night. I got in my bed, and went to sleep.
