"The fifth army?" Julia asked, it seemed like she had never seen them before. Seth spoke, "I am Sergeant first class, Seth Julius Siegel of the Huro Company." He pointed to Stas, "This is Master Sergeant Stas Waygand." She was holding a metal tablet and she started to tap it.
She looked at Stas and said directly to Seth and Stas. "There seems to be a mistake, Commander Stas Waygand of the Stas Company isn't a Master Sergeant. He is a Low First Sergeant." Stas spoke up, "What? I ranked up? Can you check the time of the approved rank-up?"She tapped her tablet twice before scrolling down. "You were ranked up yesterday at 16:51 by Brigadier General Sora. She approved of your rank up for your effort in the Invasion of Townsend. Also, Seth, you ranked up to Higher Sergeant First Class by Brigadier General Sora."Number 4 sighed before asking why they had been reassigned. The Second Lieutenant responded to her question swiftly and said she was unaware of they had been reassigned. Julia spoke, "We are still waiting for two more people." A ship flew overhead. It was loud and ear-piercing. They looked up at the ship.The ship had an insignia on the underside of the ship. It had a plane that was red with flames protruding from the wings. It was like a Phoenix. "Julia pulled a radio from her hip and started to talk into it. "Is that the East Fortside personnel with that loud plane?"The communication officer spoke, "Yes they arrived." She put the radio back to her him. Two people walked through the gates and they spoke, "I was told I was reassigned by Brigadier General Sora." He was a slender boy with a medium build, standing around 5'3" tall. His hair is a light brown colour and cut short, framing his youthful face. He had bright, green eyes.The other guy was taller with a slim build, standing at around 5'7. He had short, dark hair. His eyes are a piercing blue, and his skin is lightly tanned. Julia walked up to them and before she could speak, he spoke, "Why were we reassigned?" It was like he was demanding and not asking. She coughed and answered."I cannot say." She turned around and started to walk, she signalled for them to follow as a flagship circled overhead seemingly looking for somewhere to land. "Is that Townsend?" The communication officer returned the question, "Yeah I believe it is." They walked into the building it was a sense of weirdness seeing the place nearly empty.Julia walked to an elevator and presses the button and the elevator came down. The doors slid open, and the group walked in. The elevator started to rise to the 20th floor, the elevator was fast and they stood around waiting for the elevator to hit the top floor. The elevator slowed to a halt. The door opened and they walked to the end of the hallway and they knocked on the door.The door slowly opened and sat there was Cephas. There were ten people already in the room, they seemed to already be in groups. Everyone but Cephas and his Cephas's honour guard was wearing their combat uniforms. Everyone turned to look at them, Cephas did not move he only give them the signal to leave.The Guards including Julia left the door and shut the doors on their way out. The 5'3 guy with light brown hair spoke first. "Why did you reassign us?" Cephas shot it down, "I'll get to it Secero." Cephas then started, "Yesterday, General Kumar went to Lennox Field to give a rundown on your combat uniform."They were all confused about why this was important. "As soon as he finished. A Red Sail Agent hijacked his ship and took off with it. Kumar has been kidnapped. We are looking at a Principle Level Hostage Situation and we are leading a team to rescue him." Secero spoke, "But why us? You could have gone to war with Red Sails."Cephas spoke, "They have over 20 sub-branches which have
The rest of the East Fortside personnel started to walk past Anja. She started to walk to the elevator and she breathed out, the group of 12 walked in the pressed the button labelled one. The elevator started to descend and Number 4 looked at Anja. She started for a good five seconds before the Tomica noticed."What?" It creeped her out. She couldn't read number 4's facial expressions. Number 4 responded, "If you are a Tomica then you must be from the Island of Vollatomic?" She was confused about why the masked girl said this, "Yeah. Why do you ask?" Number 4 spoke, "Then that must mean you are strong."She nodded as June Tal started to talk to the group as the elevator was reaching the bottom floor. The doors opened and they hopped out. "I don't know any of your names." She pointed at Seth and asked for his full name, he told her his name was, "Seth Julius Siegel." She pointed at number 4, "Your name." Number 4 spoke out, "My name is confidential to personnel, I go by Number 4." Jun
"What will we do if they figure out that we are not Red Sail Special forces?" Number 5 interjected into their conversation, "Let's just hope they don't." June Tal stood up from her pilot seat and looked at her group. The ship was cruising smoothly through the sky. June Tal address Fragment. "Alright, the game plan is that we spilt up into two groups. Stas, Secero, Number 4, Marcus, Hasso and Lie are in one group. In the other group Seth, Leandre, Number 5, Anja, Nejla and Latona are in another group. We should be reaching their special forces base."They nodded and then she continued, "I will guide you from the ship. I will give you earpieces and I will talk directly to you." She sat down back in her seat as the sunny day turned dull, gloomy clouds. The rain started to fall and lightning started to strike the ground below. She started to descend towards the ground. The ship entered the school grounds and landed in bay 7. The engine started to power down as Lie opened the door and st
The two people of interest started to talk to each other, "We have to oversee his transfer." The other guy spoke, "Apparently General Ana is in transit here?" They were surprised and started to speak, "General of the Third Army, Ana?" The first guy spoke, "Kumar must be a powerful guy for the General of the Army has to be transporting him." They walked off.Stas used his earpiece, "June." June responded, "Did you find anything to lead us to Kumar?" Stas spoke, "No, all I got was confirmation of Kumar is here, but the General Of the Third Army is on her way. I think they said her name was Ana." June Tal sighed, "Nothing of interest but a General of an Army... stay clear of her. June out."Everyone came up empty-handed. They had found nothing. June Tal was at a loss. Then Stas spoke, "What about those spies?" June smiled before she made contact with them. "XK-T1" June spoke a girl on the other end answered, "Hello?" "This is Warrant Officer June Tal from West Field. We need to know wher
The music was a type of ambience. He found it nice, Seth started to hum as the elevator stopped on the second floor and two men walked. They were wearing boots, baggy trousers a camouflage shirt and headphones. They were communications officers. One boy, one girl. The elevator started to rise.They started talking to each other as Seth continued to hum. The girl spun around and yelled, "Do you mind!?" Seth was put off by her demanding demeanour but he stopped not wanting to draw his attention. The elevator slowed and it stopped completely, he walked past the communications officers.They looked closely at his arm when he walked out of the elevator to see a blue insignia. The elevator went up and the guy spoke, "I don't think that is a personnel of this faction. Call RSIO, and tell them we have an imminent threat." The girl started to link the Red Sail Intelligence Office and spoke, "Was there any personnel from any other school supposed to be here today?"A girl responded, "No schools
Stas twitched on the ground as Seth grabbed his numb, cold hands and pulled him around a corner Stas was tired, he wanted to sleep. He shut his eyes. It hurt but he started to feel warm. Seth patted his face, hard. He opened his eyes to see Seth trying to keep him awake. "Commander Stas, you have a mother waiting for you at home. You have a girlfriend. If you died now, how will they feel?"Stas looked at Seth, "I'm tired." Seth locked eyes with Stas, "You are not tired, to sleep, means to die." Stas tried to stay awake as a golden glow emitted from his body. Then a blinding golden light. Seth looked away as Stas's skin started to return. His muscles replaced themselves. The light dimmed and the glow faded. Stas had been repaired.Number 5 started to send laser beams that hit one guy whose left side was exposed. Secero pointed at one guy and started to pull him out of cover, Anja came and punched him in his gut. The guy coughed and fell unconscious. Stas sprinted in front of Anja and s
The General hit a wall and there was a thud. She looked on waiting for the General to make a move, her eye glowed as she appeared behind her but using her light speed elbowed her face, breaking the mask. Her face was exposed, she was a blonde girl with fair skin.She stumbled back as the rest of Fragment was still pinned. She felt a pressure over her that was trying to force her to the ground but the energy she had did not allow it. She looked at the General and spoke, "What rank are you?" Number 5 asked. Her blue mask with the number 5 glowing, a golden light."I am a General of the Army for Red Sail Headquarters. I command all of the people in the army across Red Sail" Number 5 charged up a beam and Lie was able to look at the General as Chains pulled her to the ground. The beam grew into a massive ball of light. The General's eye glowed to relieve her turquoise which had the Omega symbol. The Ball of Light was swung at her as the ball came, and the General's eye started to shine as
Fragment ran out to see the ship crash. It crashed but no explosion, luckily. They forced open the ship door to see Kumar, seemingly lifeless, they walked in and checked his pulse. "June! Kumar is alive!" Lie said with excitement. "Prep, exfil." Stas picked up Kumar and carried him out. Stas ran out last with Kumar and the general opened his eyes. "There was an explosion on the ship? Are you West Seaside?" Stas nodded as Kumar coughed up blood."Rest Sir," Stas said in a whisper as he continued running. They ran fast as they got shot at by Special forces personnel. Subsonic lasers fired past them missing. A communication officer spoke over the public announcement system and his words were, "Ready the flight crew of the engineering team."June faced her ship to fire at the main door. She fired as a loud explosion rang through everyone's ears, the communication officer spoke over the public announcement system, this time the same girl that spotted Seth in the elevator. "The main entranc
"Stop using that paper-thin ability and fight me fairly." She just looked at him with a smile as she laughed, "Or I'll burn you alive." She looked more serious now as he spoke, She got ready and using her paper-thin power glided past Stas' punches, She then hit Stas in the face, Stas' head moved back as he asked, "Why do you always start some great speech about being a champion of the Balbin Clan? Every time. Even back in Elementary.""Is it because I rejected you in year 5?" She gritted her teeth, "Stop trying to get me angry." She walked in front of Stas and hit him again in the chest this time, "Is that why you started working out?" She punched Stas even harder now, causing him to stagger, "Shut up." Stas walked back up to her and tried to punch her but as she dodged, his fist burst into flames burning her clothes. Stas looked at the fire, more intrigued but she tried to jump up and punch him in the face, he blocked with one hand and punched with his left. The punch was hot, causi
Olivia walled off the stage to see Dante panting as had neck trauma but nothing too life-threatening. He spoke in a raspy voice as she turned her body towards him, "Do you think?" He coughed profusely, "That if you got angry could Isak calm you down?" She considered it with a smile before she spoke, "Of course, he could." Dante smiled as her face became one of confusion, "Yeah because you would do anything for him." Dante laughed as she become grim she took a step towards him, "Don't fucking mock me." She grew in size to ten and a half feet tall. "Don't swear at me I am your Commander." She looked even more annoyed as she grew to 15 feet and 9 inches tall."Chill," Dante said with a smile as she grabbed him by the body Stas walked up behind Olivia, "Would you mind putting Dante down?" She looked at him then growled as she then bear hugged Dante and attempted to German Suplex. Dante using his fast thinking phased from her arm and onto the ground.As she tried to do this Isak walked up
The other matches finished as the other contestants ran off scared. Olivia got back up and towered over Retha, the fear was starting to get to Retha as she roared again as more fire came spewing from her mouth. It hit her again and was now doing less damage, Retha dashed at her tackling her and started to pummel Olivia in the ground as she used her Demon magic to stop her from growing in size and strength.Olivia using her size to her advantage flipped over and kicked Retha into the ground as she rolled, Olivia started to grow in size again she grew twice in one event and grew to the monstrous size of 53 feet tall. Retha was now terrified as she punched Olivia's gut but it had no effect as Olivia grabbed and bear-hugged the much smaller Retha and bent over backwards, German suplexing her into concrete. Olivia laughed as Retha's size was too small to keep up with so she evolved into her last form, her most powerful form meant taking over the third hell from her father. She grew to a s
After some time the first eight matches concluded and the next 16 jumped into the cage, the most notable match was Retha vs Olivia. They stepped up to the cage as Olivia got into a fighting pose and Retha transformed into her strongest demon form. It looked like an actual demon with claws, horns and fires at the end of her horns. Her skin was pale and she was 10 feet tall.Olivia looked up at Retha with Retha looked down at Olivia. The referee yelled, "Begin." As Olivia went on her guard as Retha walked over to the giant and gut-punched Olivia. Olivia coughed up spit as she clutched at her stomach, she finally recomposed herself more angry than before.Her pupils vanished as she grew inside becoming more muscular and powerful becoming the same size as Retha. Olivia pulled back her fist and punched Retha in the face making her stumble back. Olivia then swept Retha's leg, dropping her. Retha looked annoyed being put on her back but Retha got up.Retha tried to kick Olivia's stomach but
"What do you know about strength anyways, Ana? Judging by the marks on your necks and the possibility of you being able to teleport and fly, you were burned. Maybe you weren't able to register what occurred meaning the person was too fast for you to even react to. If I keep prying you will cry." She looked at him with anger in her eyes and glared at him."So if the person was able to move so fast, you couldn't think properly and was left open. Did you come into contact with one of the Holzer clan?" She looked at Dante and chuckled as a loud explosion came from one of the cages. It was Abels, who stood atop another student. The student was unconscious, "Next time get someone capable to fight me," He yelled angrily.Ana looked at Abels with disgust and spoke in an annoyed tone, "I hate people like him, cocky, overconfident and plain annoying. I remember the first mission I was on, A third-year captain, now a first-year Colonel was commanding a mission and told me to step back and he wou
"So, you became friends with the guy who made an attempt on your life? You should have made him suffer as you did." Dante sighed now sat down, "I tried but I was killed protecting two of my Officers." She raised an eye to his response, " Died? I thought you were stronger?" Dante looked at her with a solemn expression. "Apparently, the attack was supposed to make their hearts blow up. So I split my power amongst them and I took the attack. My heart blew up and I died. But instead of staying dead, my family has a way of cheating death."Flashback: Five months ago, 2222.Dante stretched out his arm as the laser came in a zigzag, and the attack hit. Dante panted heavily as a squelching sound came from his chest. He fell on his back feeling significantly weaker, Rama and Isak ran over to their weakened commander who was laid out on the ground. "I used my intangibility to save you but I could save myself. I'll only live for the next couple of seconds. Use this opportunity to run and I will
"Alright, I get the point." She blinked slowly and sighed, "I think they are about to start the tournament." She sat up as a Red Sail Lieutenant moved to the stand and spoke to the General of the Army and Special Forces, Ana. "My Commander, why did you come here, you still have not told me."She gave him a disgusted look, "I told you to guard the flagship not try to chat me up." He sighed as she stood up, "For your insolence, I will punish you right now." Magnus looked at Ana with an eyebrow raised as she was about to slap the lieutenant. "Ana, he is not that important, please just enjoy the tournament."He then looked at the Lieutenant, "Run along and guard the ship now." Ana sat back down as Voll stood back up and walked off the platform back to the 8 cages. She then signalled to one of the security guards as he got closer, she spoke, "Is there a person called 'Dante Tobias' here?" The security guard opened his phone and looked through the applicant list. "I believe he should be. Sh
"5,471!" Julia yelled as the other personnel conversed amongst themselves. The pink hair girl stood up enraged and screamed, "HE CHEATED! HE WAS IN HIS TRANSFORMED STATE HE THREW A PUNCH. I thought it was RAW STRENGTH." Julia considered this for 3 seconds as a door burst open and heavily armoured men with canons on their right arm walked in. Their insignia was a golden trident encased in a black circle. On the circle was 'TITAN COMMODORE' in big, bold, white letters. The trident was extended onto the circle. The men were carrying massive guns which looked like futuristic rifles but the rifles had two modes, a flamethrower mode and a taser mode.They had helmets which had mouth covers with goggles which were tinted black. They were wearing military helms. Their leader pointed to areas where they should be stationed. The men secured the back of the room and hugged the walls. "Well, we did ask for the full power of punches without the direct use of power." The girl was enraged by Julia'
The guy looked downcast and started to walk away until Stas spoke up, "Wait, Reset the machine!" Julia looked at Stas before turning it off and on again to reveal a score of 2093. The room was shocked and he smiled as he read the score, "If we add 12+10+2093 divided by 3 we get a score of 705, so contestant number 85. You move on to the starting rounds of the tournament."The lean tall guy looked at Stas with a smile stretching from cheek to cheek, "Thank you, sir. I have finally gotten somewhere because of you, sir." Stas looked at him with a confused face and raised eyebrow, "Gotten somewhere?" The guy was still smiling as he bobbed up and down slowly. He spoke, "Because of you I move on to the tournament and have a chance to get promoted. I am still a private because every time someone stole the limelight. Thank you, sir." Stas smiled as number 85 walked away cheerfully."That was certainly interesting," Seth commented as he sat down matches passed for around an hour, and after the
