**EARTH, FEDERATION MEGA BASE**Carter leaned on the table in the lab thinking about the mess he had caused and what might have happened to the core emerald ghost squad members. Regrets filled his heart and sweat rolls down his cheek anytime he thinks about what to tell the council members. It's been almost ten hours ever since they left to go get the lavender. The last time he heard from them was when Elena contacted him to inform him that there is no more lavender on the roof top in Tokyo. Have they been caught by the aliens? Have they been killed? What is happening to them? He asked himself several times. He picked a communication table on his desk, and tried to reach them, but again no one is responding to the device on the ship. As for that of Elena, he can't seem to understand why the connection never goes through. The weekly briefing meeting of the federation is in twelve hours, what ever it takes, Rhoda, Jamie, and Elena must be present. Carter thought that the only way o
I do not believe in miracles or superstitions because I am a man of Science. But if this is not a miracle, then I certainly don't know what it is. God is real after all, but why does he choose to save me who does not believe in him. Carter let out a long breath when he found out his actions has not been discovered. This is a good opportunity to cover up which ever mess he has put the emerald ghost squad in. "Carter! Carter!" his thought suddenly got interrupted by the massive voice of the president who was waiting for Carter to say something but kept quiet and appeared lost in thought. "sorry Mr President, I will quickly go get the team ready for the journey" Carter thanked them and walked out very happy, although it still feels like a dream. As soon as he got back in the lab, Carter picked his backpack he had packed earlier and headed for the hangar. He got into one of the stealth ship and went out for the search of his team. He placed a tablet on the dashboard and projected a m
"The only way fighting the shadow assassins is going to be easy is when there is little or no shadow at all" prince Adriel shouted.Astra had heard what the price said so she activated her aether sword, it came out as one then separated into five different swords. The swords shines brighter than anyone had seen them shine before, each bright enough to light a fifty meter radius. She made them go high up, almost the hight of the trees. Then they began to rotate round in circles. When there was no single shadow left in the forest around, all the shadow assassins of house Estelona lost their most valued asset, the shadows. They could now see all the shadow assassins standing under trees. They wore black ninja outfits with a black mask on their faces that only allows one to see their eyes. There is a belt tied around their waste with lots of small daggers hanging all around it. They are about ten in number. Dula ran towards two assassins facing him, they began to throw the little dagge
In the same second, the auto-piloted ship had just arrived in a supersonic speed. Carter had estimated the time of its arrival already. He knew it be here even before he gets arrested and before his team gets found under the cloak. Carter let a tiny piece of cylindrical shape device fall to the grputfrom his hand at the exact moment that the ship arrived. The ship sped pass the building so fast that the drone soldiers only heard the noice made by a super fast machine. This is the exact situation Carter wanted to create. A distraction that will get the attention of the drone soldiers solidly that he and the team can escape amidst it. All of the soldiers, except one, had just activated thrusters and chased after the flying object which they can't see. At that moment, the little smoke grenade which Carter threw to the floor earlier began to exhume lots of smoke which filled the whole place withing three second. The drone soldier left, who was suppose to arrest could not see anything
CENTAURI**The rest of the journey from the forest, must avoid anything that can arise suspicion. Astra must avoid using aether or any power that seems strange, including the wyvern and shields no matter how important. Dula, on the other hand, can't go with them to the empire because his people needs him and they doesn't want suspicion and unnecessary questions to arise. Astra has lost the ring the prince gave her to change her appearance and they must not allow anyone to see her in her Terran nature. The prince and Claria are thinking of a way to deal with the current problem of Astra's appearance. "we can't go with you to the empire like this, it's dangerous" prince Adriel said. A strange wind began to blow around them. They all look surprised because nothing seems to be the cause and this is not the part of the year this should be happening.Claria, Dula and prince Adriel had brought out a their weapons, thinking its another ambush. For some reasons, Astra seem calm even though
King Agnus raised his two hands and pointed at the big tall door of the empire hall. All the Centuarians looked at the door waiting to see what this surprise looks like. The centaurian guards had just arrived at the door with Elena lying down and tied to the hovering table. The door opened and a guard walked in with a table floating in front of him. No one understands what the surprise is yet. All they are seeing right now is a Centuarian guard with another Centuarian on a table. This is because the only visible difference between a Centuarian and a Terran is the hair color and skin color.Bringing a Terran to Centauri is the last thing anyone expects. When the guard began to walk into the hall, those who saw the creature on the table only murmured about it and asking about it around.Elena laid down strapped on almost all joints. She could only move her head a little to see the strange but beautiful design of the upper part of the hall.As the guard brings Elena closer, Astra, Cla
** HUMAN FEDERATION BASE**The special squad have gathered in the council chamber for a briefing before their first mission outside the base. Only Sergent Brook and Sergent Liu have been outside he base more than three times since the invasion began. The president and the army general have a great doubt about the special squad but they can't continue without a squad and they also cannot reverse the suspension of the emerald ghost squad just to prove to anybody in the base that no one is beyond punishment. When the team gathered in the council chamber, the president briefed them despite his doubt and the thought that they maybe putting them in danger deliberately knowing that the team had not gotten adequate training and also because they are rookies. All the special squad team members carried automatic riffles as instructed by Brook who has continuously mocked emerald squad for their choice of weapons. Sergent Brook has filed a complaint severally requesting that he should be made
The feeling of being able to destroy the indestructible drone soldiers, made Fina smile despite the impending danger and knowing that there is still one more to kill.She raised the sword and take a good look at it up close. What is this? She asked herself. From her back, the sound of thrusters approaching called her attention. She turned and saw the other drone soldier flying towards her at full speed. She jumps to the side so that she can avoid being hit by it at that speed, but she was not quick enough because the drone soldier was able to hit her legs. It made her turn on the air and then falling hard on the ground.The crack on the aether shield has opened even wider due to the damage it has taken. To restore or repair the aether shield, one must avoid being hit for at least a minute. The shield would gradually absorve kinetic energy and automatically use it to repair it self. But Fina does not know that yet. The drone soldier dashed towards Fina again before she could recove
EARTH**After some hours, the giant ship of house Agnus finally got to earth. It’s entry through the portal made a loud sound just like it did when the portal first opened. The sound was so loud that everyone closed his ears for about a minute that it took the ship to get through the portal.As soon as the ship got in through the portal, the whole portal closed and for the first time for a long time, earth looked its usual color. And the unusual amount of brightness suddenly disappeared.Every human eyes on earth looked up to see the giant ship which has casted an enormous shadow on earth. It is so big that no one could see the end of the shadow it casted over the ground.People all over the earth began to run to no where particularly while those on the human federation base began to pick weapons in preparation for the war they have been waiting for.The problem in the human federation base right now is that there are no enough soldiers to fit Astra’s battle plan. She called a meeting
The three other leaders looked at each other hearing the manner in which king Near spoke to them. They immediately realized that they might have fallen into the wrong side.They turned to king Skar again and looked at him without saying a word to him. Then he began to speak again when he was sure that the last thing he said sank into their heads just the way he wants them to understand “first of all. I am going to be the supreme leader of all the houses combined together. The three of you are going to be my subjects that will answer to me. If you agree to that, you can go back and tell your subjects and also denounce your throne as kings. This is the only condition on which you will be joining the salvation ship to Terra, otherwise, you stay here and die”Shina, Jeroth and Akaris were speechless for a while trying to be sure that king Skar isn’t joking or mistaking. They kept looking at him in the most awkward manner. King Jeroth stood up and walked towards skar, then he turned after
“The aliens are getting ready for a full scale invasion. That thing you see in the sky is a portal. And they are coming very soon. So the base needs as much soldiers as possible” sergeant Brook said.“I see. As you can see, I have a full army and we are ready to fight. We don’t need to join forces with anybody” Hector replied.“You know how strong the aliens are. All humans must fight together. We have weapons. Very sophisticated weapons” sergeant Brook said.“Am sorry. You have to leave now” Hector replied.Disappointed and unsure of who these people are, sergeant Brook simply stood up and turned back. He walked away without looking back.Back at the camp, everyone was disappointed by the number of people that formed the human federation base army. Astra assigned sergeant Brook to train the new recruits which they began immediately.**CENTAURI**King Adriel has finished all necessary arrangements for the final invasion. While they were making the plans, they have successfully kept th
Humans from all over the world stood motionless watching as an entirely strange event continues to unfold up in the sky.In only about a minute, the Centaurians are done setting up their invasion portal and its time for them to flood through unannounced.Chaos and confusion doubled in every small group of survivors on earth. Those humans who still have a bit of strength left in them began to run to anywhere trying to find solace.Everyone in the human federation base, including Astra stood looking at the giant strange occurrence in the sky.For the next twenty four hours, nothing more has happened ever since the portal opened in the sky. Although so many humans are beginning to feel relaxed about it, so many others have only looked away from the portal not more than an hour ever since it appeared.As confusion grew even among the best of human on the federation human base, Astra began to make attempt to contact commander Tyra. She used the neural link found on the Centaurian spy who d
Astra has not done what she is expected to do but for some reason the primitives are cheering her up for cutting loose the man she is supposed to kill.The crowd is cheering because to them it takes an extra courage and lots of ruthlessness to kill the person and rip the persons heart after a fight with the person. And that is what they all thought Astra was about to do.Astra is now standing behind the man who is facing the other directions and backing her. The man seems to be a warrior or a fighter somewhere because of his good boxer’s standing position.Kira and Mita are standing right in front of him. Whole Astra is standing behind the man. As the man is turning and trying to find the best standing position, which doesn’t seem to be happening, he felt a person behind him. He attacked the person behind him by swinging his elbow to the back, but Astra was quick to block it with her two hands.She jumped and kick him from behind so hard that he fell from too of the small flat rock to
Few hours later, it was morning and time to keep moving no where. There is no direction and not any single form of guide for Astra and her friends. The only thing they want to do is to stay as far away from the aliens as possible.They got up quickly and began to walk without knowing where they are headed.“While we think we are running away from the aliens, we might actual be going toward them” kira said.“at least we will know the way we shouldn’t go” Astra replied.While commander Tyra and his drone soldiers are seriously searching, they seem to have gone the wrong way because Astra, kira and Mita have been walking for more than five hours now hoping that they ate heading the right way. Or anywhere far from the aliens.About five more miles on the same direction, Astra and her companions sighted the shore of a lake about ten metres out of the woods with fine white sand and a bright gentle flowing water.They were so happy that they could not wait to get there. The three of them beg
Astra is surrounded by more than two hundred enemies of different kind. And everyone of them wants to kill her by all means necessary.The room is very wide and empty, except for the many dead ninja guards of the southern group. She kept looking around trying to find a way to escape this difficult situation.The only openings in the room are highly protected and guarded to prevent her from coming out at all cost. The walls are thick African mud style that even a bullet cannot penetrate. The only softer part of the room is up through the roof.She looked up and tried to examine it carefully. At this moment, she has figured out her best route to escape but she needs the perfect time to do it which she doesn’t know when and how it will happen.Commander Tyra has just stepped a foot on the frame of the door. He stood there and looked all around the room. He knows that the humans from the human federation base are capable of invincibility, he could feel Astra’s presence in the room, althou
The whole of the palace is already in shock and even fear over the presence of several foreign guards. For the first time ever, a simple meeting looks like a war is about start.No one is clear about why all the leaders came with a whole army. But Bolo and several others know that it is definitely not a coincidence that the three leaders came with lots of guards.The meeting is in Bolo’s palace and he is suppose to be the most feared, but today, he seems like the weakest and least feared. But this is only because he has relieved his massive submissive guards.Few minutes later, when everyone was tired of waiting, Bolo stepped into the meeting hall. His arrival is so not what anyone expected it to look like.There were no much guards standing by, or any form of adequate protection any where in the whole palace, and now, Bolo has stepped into a meeting room where no one is smiling with nothing but a female white girl on his side.When Bolo entered, a few people in the hall murmured and
Everyone has gathered to know the reason why Mita screamed so loud.The two dead guards is one thing no one has ever imagined because no one has the guts to cross such a line.The only persons or person who can do a thing like this does not leave any where near Rigasa. It is obvious that this is an attempt on the life of Bolo.The chief guard of the palace or any other person is not aware of the incident. And these are the only guards killed.When nobody seems to have an idea, kira finally revealed that to his father that he has installed secret surveillance cameras all around the palace.“I can take a look at the camera recordings. All we need to know will in it. I am sure” kira said.The surveillance camera recordings weren’t too difficult to access. In less than five minutes, kira has began rewinding the recorded footage trying to arrive at the estimated time of the incidence..When he finally found the footage, Bolo, Astra and Mita who were standing beside kira all saw what really
