Ethan's point of view...As the two days of survival on the inhospitable planet came to an end, a sense of relief washed over me as I saw the rescue team approaching. Fatigued and weathered by the challenges I had faced, I eagerly welcomed their arrival, knowing that my time of isolation and struggle was finally coming to an end. As they helped me back onto the spacecraft, I couldn't help but notice a change in their expressions. There was a mix of relief and curiosity in their eyes as if something significant had transpired in my absence. But when I stepped out of the shifting elevator, my mind smacked in an instant.My teammates were standing on either side giving leaving the way, which gave me a feeling of giving a tribute to someone who had just saved a planet. Not only that, the astonished look on their faces was far beyond my expectations. Their expressions and the way they were staring at me, made me reckon on what I did to grab their special attention. Were they informed t

Ethan's point of view...As we reflect on our time in the robotics training center, all of us were filled with admiration for the brilliant minds and engineers who crafted these incredible machines. The experience instilled in us a profound sense of wonder and gratitude for the opportunities we had as Zodiac Warriors. We all were so eager to indulge in the extraordinary usage of those robots. But soon that admiration turned into a suspicious feeling that bloomed in me.I was a curious man, to begin with, and due to my curiosity, my attention was grabbed by the cabin that lay on one of the corners of the training center. I glared back to ask about it, but Captain Ven and his crew were so busy explaining things to the other team members.Still, my previous experience forced me to ask for his permission before checking the last room out. I strolled to him and asked sincerely."Captain Ven, can I check that as well? What is in that?" I don't know if he heard me, but he just tilted his

Ethan's point of view...Whenever I see these robots the flashes of that gigantic creature who smashed the earth swirl in my mind.I still remember how easily they swiped all those huge buildings and it was like killing an ant with just a pat. Tears swirl into my eyes as I think about that day.But that makes me wonder about their progress, exactly how much have they formulated, that they were able to destroy the whole planet in just a few hours?I can't wait to kill them, to wipe them out as how they did to us."It's not too far, Ethan" I jerked as I heard a voice and turned around at an instant to see who that was. "We will meet soon" No one...!No one at all.I was standing there alone. How could it be?Was that just my imagination?But it felt so real...!I confusingly gaped around but no one else was attentive to me. It was only me struggling with those weird illusions.But why me...?I smacked those thoughts out of my sanity as I don't think this could be real.Moving on, I i

Ethan's point of view...I steeled my nerves, feeling a mix of suspicion and excitement as I raised my hand to replicate the scratch on the silicon layer over the metallic frame on the other side of that model. I know it was wrong but my instinct keep forcing me to do it just to clarify this one thing that had been clinging behind my brain. I promised myself that I will never go against the system again.However, just as I was about to proceed, a distant alarm blared throughout the starship, jolting me out of my trance.Shit...!Did they put alarms on this?I was alarmed at the thought that I will be caught again.But soon I realized that I didn't even touch it yet...!Then what might have happened...!Panic washed over me as I acknowledged that my teammates might be in danger. With a heavy heart, I abandoned my secret experiment and rushed back to join them, my mind was now consumed with concern for their safety."What happened?""Oh, shit...!" As I rushed back to the robotic trai

Author's point of view... As the heavy metal doors slide open with a soft hum, someone stepped into a mysterious and futuristic chamber that leaves everyone in awe. The room was dimly lit as if someone doesn't want to be in the light, casting long shadows across the polished silver walls. An ethereal glow emanated from the numerous hidden light sources, making the entire place feel like a scene from a sci-fi movie. "General...!" a mechanical voice echoed, greeting someone in a fearful tone.In the center of the room, there is a circular table, meticulously crafted from sleek, black glass that reflects the surrounding lights and technology. Sitting behind the table is a man whose face is covered with a metallic mask, seemingly ordinary yet enigmatically intriguing. His attire consists of a finely crafted metallic suit, with the emblem of a mysterious organization embedded on the lapel. Stellar Vanguard."So it is the time for you to visit me, huh, Ven?" The man retorted, he appears
