Ethan's point of view...The countdown was already tickling, and I tried all my strength to break the emergency exit open.The spacecraft was fully damaged and I even activated the self-destruction mode in it. I was ready to face whatever awaited me, both on the planet's surface and in the battle against the shadowy forces. But as that mysterious voice echoed, I felt his words penetrating deep within my mind.Swirling every corner of my world. His urge to save me had an unspoken intention behind it.I felt it that way though.As he told me that the emergency exit pod was repaired, I tried lifting off the front metallic frame and then try breaking the escape exit of the vessel, the gravity of the situation settled in. I was now entirely on my own, hurtling through the vessel which was about to explode in seconds. With my heart pounding in my chest, I threw myself into the emergency escape pod just as the countdown reached its final moments. The pod sealed shut around me, the sensatio
Ethan's point of view...I was standing at the entrance of the chamber room when an announcement was made, that jerked me but I still felt slight excitement. I am finally going to get my answers.{Ethan Conner, assemble in the main hall immediately}The tension in the air was tangible as I walked down the gleaming corridors of the starship toward the main hall. The echoes of the recent battle still reverberated in my mind, and the remnants of the explosion were etched vividly in my memory. It was so near, I almost lost my life but still, I won't have regretted it.As I approached the central gathering area, I felt a mix of anticipation and curiosity. The main hall was a grand chamber, but today it looked different as its walls were adorned with holographic displays depicting distant galaxies and star systems.I saw one of the displays, displaying the Efrodo. The ambient lighting created an atmosphere of solemnity and reverence. As I entered, I noticed the members of my team had alr
Ethan's point of view...The announcement of our impending physical training hit us like a meteor, and I could practically hear the collective groan from my fellow teammates. As we gathered in the training area, a series of robotic figures stood at attention, their metal frames gleaming in the harsh overhead lights.Captain Ven strode to the front, his demeanor undeniable. "Meet your training partners for the week," he said clearly which almost jerked our souls out. We have been training all these days among ourselves under the eyes of the small service crew who hardly notice any ditch we did in the training before.But now, these figures in front of us are more like sumo wrestlers, completely scanning even the slightest movement we made.I appreciated these Robots when they were not completely made, never did I think that one day I will be monitored by them."These robots are designed to simulate real combat scenarios, so don't hold back!" Captain Ven continued.The robots stared b
Author's point of view...Ethan's heart raced as he stood there, holding the transmitter, his mind grappling with a whirlwind of emotions and questions. The voice on the other end was unmistakably the same one that had guided him through the spacecraft ordeal. But how could this person possibly know so much about him? "I know everything about you, how you breathe, Ethan," the voice continued, its eerie familiarity sending shivers down his spine. Ethan's brows furrowed, a mix of confusion and frustration coloring his expression. "How can you possibly know all that? Who are you, really? How do you know it was me?" The voice emitted a deep, enigmatic chuckle."We will meet soon, Ethan. I am someone who's been observing you throughout your life. Someone who's been keeping an eye on your journey, your strengths, and your weaknesses from the moment you were born." Ethan's mind raced, trying to make sense of the situation. His gaze flickered over to Captain Ven, who was still engaged i
Ethan's point of view...As we stood before that door, all our minds were in a mess. The room was dark and mysterious giving up an aura of something so dangerous that lay inside it. Captain Ven instructed that we must not make any sounds because even a pin-dropping sound can make a difference in this place.That was terrifying, isn't it?I experienced some sort of churning feeling inside my gutt as I stared at a slight fluorescent light emerging out of a huge tumbler inside the room.We moved in slowly and gathered around the transparent chemical tank, our focus was fixed on the genetically modified figure suspended within emitting a Persian blue fluorescent light. "A human being...!" I mumbled inside my mind.A tense silence enveloped the room, and our curiosity was matched only by the air of unease that lingered. As I moved slowly observing it carefully, A human body...!I was puzzled, it was indeed a human body but with many differences. A face with just two holes as the nose,
Ethan's point of view...Something was going around me, weird but unknown, whenever I demand an explanation they do something to me and it all just get out of my mind. I keep on thinking about what was it that I wanted to ask but nothing seems to work for me at that time.It was all so confusing. Sometimes I feel that I was lucky to be here but sometimes I feel as if I was being played by them.Why?As soon as I got the time to confront Captain Ven, those all questions that were lurking in my mind instantly slips out except for the one he volunteered to answer.Something was wrong...!Something was definitely wrong...!And I am going to figure it out soon.As the meeting concluded, Captain Ven fixed each team member with a steady gaze calling us all to gather. "You all doubt the training that you guys had yesterday, right? about negotiations" he asked and we all nodded our heads in agreement, so curiously, "Well, you guys are going to meet the best negotiators in the whole galaxy, to
Ethan's point of view...I examined the tiny box while I was alone in my chamber when we all dispersed to get some rest.I found a tiny bottle inside it with a bright liquid in it."What is this?" I was puzzled as it was the first time that I saw something like this.There was a button on a corner of that box so I hesitatingly touched it.[Agris Oil, the powerful oil which can be used as an antidote for any poison that ever existed and could also be used for healing any kind of wounds]A message popped up detailing the uses of that wonderful oil. I was taken aback by knowing the amazing uses of that oil. It must be a treasure for them, Why did they give this to me?The next day morning we woke up with an alarm siren.{Zodiac team alert}{Mission initiated, today the zodiac warrior team will be going on a mission...Mission 001 Silvora}It was a different alert, we all ejected from the chambers stretching and yawning but that notification caught us off guard. It wasn't a secret mission
Ethan's point of view...There was again training waiting for us, I never thought that we would be tired of training one day but this intensive training got me barely.Those so-called training partners, the brutal robots made our lives a living hell. I don't know why but this time the practices and combats were so brutal that after a long time, we saw blood flowing from our bodies.Though we were healed so quickly, it hurts like hell.Max was attacked by his robot partner without mercy, his hand was brutally injured during the combat.My skin was ripped on my back, it was just like a scratch but still, I bled horribly.These robots have their hook crowns on their arms, sometimes it converts into a brutal weapon that never shows mercy to anyone.But no matter what, from the path we were in, we had no turning back.It's just a physical injury, we can definitely get over it.The weeks of rigorous training honed our skills and determination even further. At first, we thought that we woul
