Chapter 5: Mr. Saturn Training Day
It was the second day of rookie training at the Starmen Federation HQ. Nem was waiting inside with his friends for General Naiot to instruct the group of fifty Starmen. The training this day was different than anything Nem expected. General Naiot spoke up.

"Greetings, all. Today, we will take a small break from offensive psychokinetic training. We will train in the ways of combat."

Ajuni Geka was happy, for he had much skill in the ways of combat.

"However, I'm not teaching you today. I have a special visitor today, who is a master of combat. He will instruct you. He is behind this curtain."

Behind General Naiot was a curtain. Many of the Starmen were afraid of what powerful being lurked behind that curtain. But Ajuni was ready for action. General Naiot lifted the current, and revealed the master of combat. Redef spoke up.

"That's it?"

Behind the current was a small, pale creature. He was circular with two feet, and a giant nose. He had three whiskers on each side of his face. He had two black eyes, and a single black hair. That hair was wrapped by a red ribbon. He also had two large eyebrows above his eyes. This creature was only one foot tall. Nem asked a question.

"Who is that?"

Redef interjected.

"What is it would be a better question."

General Naiot chuckled and introduced this alien.

"This, Starmen, is Nurutas Saturn, a Mr. Saturn."

Nurutas spoke with a very confusing accent.

"I Nurutas Saturn! I Mr. Saturn! I from Earth! My race from Saturn. You may say I Earthbound. I best fighter in Saturn Valley! DOING!"

All the Starmen, except General Naiot, stared at him. Ajuni spoke up.

"Hello, Nurutas."

"'Ello! DOING!"

Nurutas jumped of the stage and walked towards the Starmen.

"Make circle 'round me! Quickly! DOING!"

The Starmen made a circle around Nurutas.

"Good! Good! This kay-o! This kay-o! DOING! You all now try hit me! PK no! PK bad! Combat yes! Combat good! BEGIN! DOING!"

The Starmen were confused. They weren't used to trying to hurt a small creature. One Starmen ran forward and tried to stomp on Nurutas. Nurutas jumped up and kicked him in the stomach.

"YAA!"

That Starmen backed away. Another Starmen dove for Nurutas. Nurutas jumped up in time and landed on that Starmen. Nurutas began stomping on him. That Starmen got up and returned to the circle.

"PK no! PK bad! It good if all fight at once! Hit me! DOING!"

With those words, every Starmen dove for Nurutas. Nurutas dodged each and every one, and kicked every Starmen. Redef got up and started chasing Nurutas.

"GET BACK HERE!"

Nurutas head-butted Redef in the stomach.

"YAA!"

Redef grabbed Nurutas. Nurutas kicked both of Redef's hands at once, forcing Redef to let go. Nurutas then ran under one of Redef's legs, and then knocked Redef to the ground.

"DOING!"

Nem was ready to applaud Nurutas, but he was too busy trying to catch it. Meanwhile, General Naiot was watching the show, laughing at everybody's futile efforts. Emet started thinking of a plan aloud.

"If Nurutas is running at 40 miles per hour in one direction, and I run at 20 miles per hour in the other direction, and if the room has a circumference of 50 meters, then I should catch Nurutas in…"

At that time, Rimia also was conjuring up a plan.

"If Nem and I both dive at Nurutas at the same time, we might catch him. Nem!"

Rimia went looking for Nem. Emet put his plan to work, and ran across the perimeter of the room. Ajuni also had a plan. It was quite simple.

"When I see Nurutas, I chase him."

Ajuni saw Nurutas, who knocked out a Starmen by jumping up in the air, and kicking him in the head. Ajuni charged towards him. Nurutas ran off. But, Emet was running toward Nurutas. Nurutas jumped on Emet's head and jumped to the center of the room. As he landed, Nem and Rimia both dove for Nurutas. Nurutas jumped out of the way in time, so Nem and Rimia clunked their heads together. Nurutas jumped up, and was ready to land. However, Redef tried to punch Nurutas while he was in the air. Nurutas grabbed Redef's fist with his feet, and flung him against a wall. Had General Naiot not fixed that wall, Redef would have been sent out of the building.

"Come! One hit! Only one hit! It not too hard, is it? DOING!"

Nurutas kept on running. Suddenly, Nurutas noticed Ajuni, who was trying to land on him. Nurutas dodged in time, but that left him open for attack. Ajuni utilized that moment, and punched Nurutas, which sent him flying five feet away.

"HOI! I be hit! You! You be?"

"I be…I mean, I am Ajuni."

"Ajuni hit me! Ajuni win! DOING!"

Everybody cheered for Ajuni. General Naiot walked to the group of Starmen, while he was finishing recording what happened.

"Lunch break, everybody."

The Starmen sighed for relief, and went to eat their lunch. General Naiot ran off to deliver paperwork to King Ochun. After the lunch break, all the Starmen assembled in front of the small stage where Nurutas and General Naiot were standing.

"Kay-o! New challenge. You choose other and both fight! PK no!"

Redef was confused.

"So, we're allowed to fight now?"

General Naiot responded.

"Yes. Only in here."

"Good. Good. PK no! BEGIN! DOING!"

Nem walked to Redef.

"Redef…Wanna finish what we started yesterday?"

"No. You're only good with psychokinetics. I want a real challenge."

"Excuse me!?"

Redef walked off. Rimia poked Nem. Nem looked at her.

"It's okay, Nem. I'll fight you instead."

Nem sighed.

"Okay, sure thing."

Emet and Ajuni were partnering up, but then Redef approached Ajuni.

"Ajuni…You and I. I want to see how I fare against the best combat specialist in the class."

Ajuni looked at Redef.

"I'm with Emet already."

Emet spoke to Ajuni.

"It's okay. You can fight him. I'll fight someone else."

Emet walked away. Redef chuckled.

"So it's us two against each other, eh Redef?"

"What, scared?"

"Yeah right…"

Ajuni dove between Redef's legs. He grab his feet and threw Redef in the air. However, Redef landed perfectly. Redef ran towards Ajuni and tried to punch him, but Ajuni grabbed his hand. Ajuni then swung Redef around. However, Redef managed to punch Ajuni's back in the process. Ajuni let go of Redef.

"Tricky, Ajuni. However, not tricky enough."

Redef slid across the floor and elbowed Ajuni in the stomach. Even though Ajuni was in pain, Ajuni grabbed Redef's elbow and threw Redef up into the air. As Redef was landing, Ajuni punched him multiple times in the stomach. Redef got up slowly, wheezing in pain.

"I'm not finished, Ajuni."

Redef elbowed Ajuni in the stomach again. Ajuni grabbed his elbow again. Right as that happened, Redef punched Ajuni in his helmet and kicked Ajuni in the back of his knee at the same time.

"AGH!"

Ajuni let go off Redef. Redef ran up and continuously punched Ajuni in the stomach until Ajuni fell to the ground in pure pain. Redef chuckled.

"So you only caught Nurutas by pure luck. Pathetic."

Redef walked towards General Naiot. General Naiot recorded what just happened. Nurutas complimented Redef.

"Wow! For Starmen I throw to wall, you good. DOING!"

General Naiot raised his sword. It shined white.

"PK Lifeup Ohm."

Ajuni Geka got up. He was healed from major wounds, but smaller wounds still existed.

"Ugh…"

Emet walked over to Ajuni and gave him a hand.

"Thanks Emet."

"Any time, Ajuni."

Everybody except Ajuni and Redef continued fighting. As more people fell to the ground in complete pain, less people fought. Rimia and Nem could not seem to get a direct hit on each other. Every attack one threw, the other blocked. Eventually, it got late in night, and the two still couldn't get a hit on each other. General Naiot walked over to them.

"Stop fighting and go home."

The two stopped fighting. Rimia then clunked Nem on his head.

"Nem, I win."

All the Starmen, except General Naiot, went home. General Naiot and Nurutas went to see King Ochun instead. King Ochun was the strongest Starmen in their kingdom. However, he never got another to do his work. If King Ochun made a mess, he would clean that mess. And King Ochun knew every Starmen in the kingdom, and knew their living conditions. He was a kind king who helped everybody. That is why every Starmen in the kingdom loved King Ochun.

"King Ochun, your Majesty."

General Naiot bowed. Nurutas tried to bow, but fell over instead.

"Ah. General Naiot and Nurutas Saturn. I wanted to see you two. Nurutas Saturn, I am willing to accept you into the Starmen Federation as a permanent instructor in combat. I will provide you food, money, a nice two-story house with a basement and attic, and I will provide you a personal shuttle so you can visit Earth and Saturn whenever you want."

"That's kay-o, Majesty. I accept! DOING!"

"Very well then."

King Ochun signed some paperwork and filed it into a huge cabinet behind him. That cabinet took eight rooms.

"Thank you, Nurutas Saturn."

"No, no. I thank! You no thank! Thank you! DOING!"

A secretary helped lead Nurutas to his new keep. King Ochun then spoke with General Naiot.

"General Naiot, are you sure that you should put your Starmen through that tomorrow? Last year, you waited two weeks for that. This year, you're planning doing that on the third day. Are your Starmen ready?"

"You read the paperwork, King Ochun. This group of Starmen is stronger than any other group of rookie Starmen I've seen. You must allow me to do that tomorrow."

"…"

King Ochun thought for a minute. Then he signed paperwork.

"Very well."

King Ochun filed that paperwork.

"So tomorrow it is, General Naiot."

"Tomorrow it is, King Ochun."
