“My son Adriel, now that you have come of age, it is time I teach you the proper ways of the Agnus. In this entire kingdom, you are the only person aside myself who can activate the helion drive that we use to dominate the eastern plains. We are the mightiest of all the five houses in the empire for one reason. What do you think that reason is?” Agnus Kai asked Adriel. Sitting on the royal prince throne to the right side of his father’s, Adriel sat with his legs crossed and his attention on the fight below. Without turning around to look at his father, he shook his head and said. “Is that not because you are so great father? You have raised a mighty chivalry of orbital knights and an entire armada of foot soldiers that can face all of the four families combined in battle and still hold their ground.” Agnus Kai started laughing uncontrollably, extending his arm and placing it on the shoulder of Adriel. “This is all true, but the reason why we are so mighty, the reason why the rest of

Astra and the remaining soldiers jumped into the rail tunnel and started their almost thirty hours journey, they organized themselves so in a passion that Astra and some soldiers from the Emerald ghosts lead them in front, where captain Jiro and two of his men were helping them navigate the tunnels, while Elena and the remaining emerald ghosts soldiers were in the back keeping an eye out for any alien that may be lurking in there. “Astra and Jiro have been discussing all the time, she has been smiling and periodically laughing, what is that man telling her like this? Is he really making a move on her?” Eric asked Elena and the Japanese soldiers from the shelter who were close enough to them heard him, they turned around smiling. “Poor bastard, he would have luck flirting with any lady in the entire world and he had to pick the absolute wrong one…. Hahahaha.” Rhoda said and started laughing uncontrollably. “What do you mean by he picked the absolute wrong one?” Elena quickly asked

Carter was hesitant at first. He wanted to be absolutely sure that Astra was dead before he makes his decision of leaving the area to the fortress before whatever attacked just a minute ago fires the second attack. ‘I may be scientist by choice, but above all of that, I am here as a soldier and Astra may be special, but she is not worth thousands of lives.’ He thought and finally decide to keep going head on without turning back. A few minutes later, the five phantom cruisers landed and docked the floating fortress, with the main cruiser having one of its engines destroyed, they started heading straight back to Quartz sixty island, now renamed Base Zero. It has been two months since the emerald Ghosts have left in the quest to rescue survivors from the Japanese shelters outside the planes of Tokyo Giga cities. From the far distances, none of them could recognize the island anymore, the walls around it have been erected even taller that they were and mounted on them are even more emer

**(BASE ZERO)**The sun has just risen and it is six o’clock in the morning. Carter has just been woken up by a call on his secured bracelet channel from captain Andrew’s office. With sleep in his eyes, he managed to stay woke and answered the call, knowing that Andrew only call him early in the morning when there is an emergency, Carter already expects something big.“Hey Carter! Wake up and get over here at the excavation site, the workers were mining that dense chunk of the moon that fell on the island and found something, you need to get here and see it.” Andrew said.“For God’s sake Andrew, just get some of the geologists and analysts to tell you what kind of mineral or space rock it is, you don’t have to wake me up this early in the morning when you know that I have spent the last five nights in my laboratory developing the what will help your career reach its maximum height.

“Are these rocket engines powered by emerald energy? I have been wondering how you could be here a few minutes after you get my massage. Don’t tell me you are travelling at these extreme speeds, or did you two warp your ay here through some portal?” Astra asked Carter and Elena.The two of them burst into uncontrollable laughter. Looking at them, Astra was annoyed that they were laughing at her questions, which to her are as legit and reasonable as can be considering the situation and the turn of events that they find themselves. But beyond all of that, she is very happy seeing that they are as happy as they are to see her again.“You are right on the first guess that this hypersonic ship uses emerald energy powered rocket engines and we call the emerald drives, but you are not correct that we received your massage and just zoomed massage and just warp around space to get here. We were already on the coasts of J
