A Fragile Celebration

last update2025-03-04 23:19:10

The battle for survival had left Hazeed and his team exhausted. Oblivion Point had been compromised, Omega’s forces were relentless, and the unnatural star—that thing in the sky—was drawing closer. Yet, for the first time in years, they were on Earth again. The war, the endless cycle of running and fighting across distant galaxies, felt distant—at least for one night.

The underground resistance had one rule—after every major battle, if they survived, they celebrated. It was a fragile tradition, a desperate attempt to cling to something human in the face of extinction.

As the jungle night deepened, a bonfire flickered in the center of the rebel encampment. Smoke curled into the sky, carrying the scent of grilled meat and something that vaguely resembled Earth’s old alcoholic brews.

Mazda sat back against a fallen log, his boots still caked with mud. He took a swig from a dented metal flask, wincing as the liquid burned down his throat. “Damn, Goro, what the hell is in this?”

    The bunker’s dim lights flickered, casting long shadows against the cold, concrete walls. The air smelled of sweat, gunpowder, and something metallic—something unnatural. The survivors sat in tense silence, the weight of what had just happened pressing down on them like a heavy fog.Mazda exhaled sharply, rubbing a hand over his face. "Alright, let’s break this down. We were having a party, trying to forget all the shit we’ve been through, and then—" He snapped his fingers. "Reality just… broke?"Nia’s eyes, still wide with shock, flickered toward Hazeed. "No. It wasn’t reality. It was them. The thing… it wasn’t just killing. It was erasing."Goro, who had been pacing, stopped abruptly. "That thing. It wasn’t Omega. And it wasn’t the Starborn."Hazeed nodded slowly. "I saw something when it touched me. Visions. Flashes of… something bigger." He clenched his fists, trying to steady his breath.

    Hazeed gritted his teeth as he clutched the data pad, his mind racing. His heart pounded in his ears, drowning out the chaos around him. Omega’s forces were in full retreat, but not because of the rebels. They were running from it. The nightmare that had just unmade half their squad like they never existed.The creature pulsed, its shifting mass bending light and space around it. It wasn’t moving toward Hazeed. It was pulling him in."Shit."The gravity around him warped, his boots scraping against the dirt as he fought to stay upright. The data pad in his hands hummed violently, heat searing his palm."Hazeed, drop it!" Goro’s voice cut through the static in his head. "That thing wants it!"But Hazeed knew—he couldn’t. If this was the reason Omega was here, if they had risked everything to find it, then it meant something. And if that thing was after it, then destroying it might be their only way out.The problem was, he had no idea how."Fall back! Now!" Mazda shouted, dragging a wo

    It was early in the morning, but Hazeed's misfortune had already begin.Hazeed, who was washing his bike, was shocked when the landlady threw everything out of his room.Not only that, but she turned off the water tap."Get out of here right now, you're five months in arrears and you're still wasting water! This room is already rented!" said Ms. Lisa."But ma'am, I'm still working on it," said Hazeed, hurriedly putting down the water hose and quickly tidying up his clothes that were scattered outside the room."No, you can't! Leave now because the person will be here soon," said Mrs. Lisa adamantly.Hazeed could only remain silent. He realized that he was five months in arrears and it was very good for him that Ms. Lisa was only kicking him out now.Hazeed couldn't do much about it. He quickly carried his meager belongings away on his old moped.The sun was still warm on his tan skin. Hazeed's only thought this time was to try to find a rooming house that he could fill without having

    "Sir, I didn't do anything wrong, sir!" said Hazeed when two policemen arrived and immediately handcuffed him.There was even more commotion outside the clinic. Students who were arriving for classes now gathered in the clinic courtyard.Many of them began documenting and sharing information about Hazeed's arrest on social media."My day is complete," Hazeed thought as the police patrol car drove away from the clinic with him.Arriving at the police station, Hazeed was immediately questioned and bombarded with so many questions.The man really couldn't answer what the investigators were asking because he wasn't involved in the drug cartel as they intended."How much do you get paid to keep your mouth shut like this?" one of the police officers snapped at him.Hazeed repeated his answer."I don't know the woman, let alone get paid, I am the victim of the collision, sir, what is the fate of my motorcycle?" Hazeed said with half resignation.But the investigators did not take his word fo

  • Hazeed : Guardian Of The World    Dropped from Campus

    He was still left with many questions about the phone. He even searched the internet for the name of the cell phone but there was nothing like it.A large phone like a handy talkie but with a screen that was very different from most phones today. Especially in its features.Hazeed, who was trying to figure this out, finally fell asleep very soundly because he was tired after all the things he had been through."I Am Omega, who woke me up?" someone said. But Hazeed, who was fast asleep, didn't notice.The warm morning touched Hazeed's face.Staying in that hut all night made him think hard now. Even though he was losing his way. But he didn't want his grandparents back in the village to know what had happened to him."I have to go to the college," Hazeed said.Using a water source he found near the field, he washed his face and cleaned his body. He separated some of his clean clothes.Once he was dressed, Hazeed walked to the campus to attend his classes. Hazeed himself is an outstandi

  • Hazeed : Guardian Of The World    Trial Mission

    "Come in, follow the route that will guide you, Mr.H!" Omega's voice sounded so cold this time.Hazeed then stepped inside."What? This is a driverless car? Autopilot? It really works systematically using a computer system connected to its center?" Hazeed said in amazement."Sir, Omega will lead you to your first mission," Omega said.TREKThe black car locked and accelerated to a lake behind an old factory.This lake was an artificial lake in the middle of the city, used as a water catchment area for the city."What should I do here?" said Hazeed."First Mission, save the children," said Omega, accompanied by the sound of a door opening.BUKKHazeed tumbled to the ground, as his chair had apparently shifted with him."You suck! Can't you just put me down quietly! What a lousy system!" grumbled Hazeed as he patted his clothes that had become soiled with dirt."Help! Help!" said someone from the lakeside.Hazeed was stunned to see two people struggling at the edge of the lake trying to

    "Next to your house is Ms. Lisa's boarding house," said Mr. Kardi.Hazeed frowned.A room on the outside of the house was then handed over to him. Hazeed felt very much at home, especially since there was a parking lot here too, which allowed him to save money."Thank you son, I hope you feel at home," said Mr. Kardi, who had rented out one of the rooms in his house to Hazeed."You're welcome sir, I'm very grateful that you offered me a room," said Hazeed.He immediately cleaned up the room that would now be his home. He was grateful that he could finally sleep comfortably again.Even so, his mind was still confused by the OMEGA system that kept appearing on his cell phone.It was getting late, and Hazeed felt free. He took out his antique cell phone and started to turn it on."It won't turn on?" said Hazeed in confusion. He then tried to charge it, but nothing fit into the charger hole."What kind of data cable is this?" said Hazeed as he continued to look up the size and specificati

    The bunker’s dim lights flickered, casting long shadows against the cold, concrete walls. The air smelled of sweat, gunpowder, and something metallic—something unnatural. The survivors sat in tense silence, the weight of what had just happened pressing down on them like a heavy fog.Mazda exhaled sharply, running a hand over his face. "Alright, let’s break this down.

  • Shadows of the Forgotten Star

    Hazeed and Mazda followed the scarred man deeper into the jungle, their boots crunching against damp foliage. The thick canopy above swallowed most of the sunlight, casting eerie shadows along the narrow path. Hazeed remained silent, still haunted by the image of the unnatural star they had seen before re-entering Earth’s atmosphere.Their guide finally spoke. “Name’s Goro. You’re lucky I found you before the others did.”Mazda shot Hazeed a wary glance before asking, “The others?”Goro didn’t stop walking. “You’ll see soon enough.”An Unwelcome TruthMinutes later, they emerged into a hidden clearing where an old but well-maintained military bunker stood. A few men and women in patched uniforms watched them warily, their hands hovering over weapons. A satellite dish sat atop the bunker, still functioning despite the rust eating at its edges.Goro led them inside, where the air smelled of damp concrete and metal. He gestured for them to sit while he grabbed a dusty map, spreading it a

  • A Stranger Star in the Void

    Hazeed and Mazda had successfully returned to Earth, but their journey was far from safe. Omega would not remain idle after losing their dimensional ship. If Omega had managed to implant a tracking code into the ship’s system, they might already know where they landed. Time was running out.Mazda tinkered with the console inside their half-buried spacecraft on the beach. “The main system is fried, but I can still access some data. I can confirm that we’re no longer connected to Omega’s network.”Hazeed scanned the coastline, watching the darkening sky and the waves crashing in the distance. They had landed on a small, seemingly uninhabited island, but that didn’t mean they were safe.“There’s a chance Omega has already sent a retrieval squad,” Hazeed said. “We need to leave before they arrive.”Mazda shut the panel and stood up. “Alright, but we need a plan. We don’t even know where we are besides ‘somewhere near Japan.’”Hazeed glanced a

  • Final Chase Return to Earth

    The alarm was still blaring as Hazeed and Mazda ran through the narrow corridors of the Citadel. Behind them, the sound of Omega soldiers' boots echoed, closing in fast. With the AI mainframe they had disabled, the Citadel’s defenses were in disarray, but that didn’t mean they were safe. Omega still had human soldiers—and they were coming with full force.Mazda tapped the digital panel on his wrist. “I’ve accessed the underground map. The dimensional aircraft hangar is in Sector Sigma-3!”“Lead the way!” Hazeed pulled Mazda close, dodging falling debris caused by the Citadel’s failing systems.They turned into a spiral staircase, descending into a silver corridor with flickering emergency lights. The air felt heavier down here, and the sirens mixed with the low hum of machinery from the underground levels.“Omega soldiers ahead!” Mazda warned.Hazeed glanced forward—two heavily armed guards stood in front of the hangar entrance. Without hesitation, he drew the dagger from his belt and

  • TREMOR

    The night descended quickly, the shadows of the city stretching long over the broken streets. The team gathered in the dimly lit safehouse, fully geared and silent, each member aware of the dangers they would face. The tension in the air was thick, yet there was also a sense of resolve, a shared understanding that this mission would change everything.Max stepped forward, checking the last of the equipment, while Mazda ran through the final details of their tech setup. Raze was already in his element, his eyes scanning the map one last time, preparing for the chaos that would unfold once they breached the Citadel.Hazeed stood at the center, his gaze steady, his thoughts calculating. It was do or die, but failure wasn’t an option. Not tonight.“We stick to the plan,” Hazeed said, his voice firm. “No one deviates. We get in, disable the AI, hit the core, and get out. Fast and clean.”Raze gave him a brief nod. "This isn't going to be clean, Hazeed. You’re talking about an enemy that ha

  • Rebellion

    Hazeed stayed rooted at the table, his fingers tracing the edges of the map. His team had always looked to him for answers, for direction, and he never let them down. But the Citadel wasn’t just another mission—it was a beast that could either cement their rebellion or crush it entirely. The stakes had never been higher.The faint sound of footsteps broke his concentration. He looked up to see Max approaching, his expression unreadable."Couldn’t sleep?" Hazeed asked, his tone lighter than he felt.Max shook his head. "Not when we’re planning to walk straight into the lion’s den. You?""Same." Hazeed leaned back in his chair, exhaling sharply. "What’s on your mind?"Max hesitated for a moment before speaking. "You sure about this? The Citadel... it’s not just a hub. It’s their crown jewel. If we go in unprepared, we’ll be walking into a massacre."Hazeed nodded slowly, understanding the concern. "I know it’s a gamble, but we don’t have the luxury of playing it safe anymore. Omega’s ti
