"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
Fina finally agreed to go back to the base because, even though she is right, disobedience to superiors is a serious crime. According to the constitution of the human federation, it is also considered a disobidence to the government. They all got on board and headed back to the base only to return after the Sergent have showed off the pictures of what he didn't kill or even know how they were killed. On their way back, Sergent Brook have seen a group of drone soldiers parading some humans around. He asked Sergent Fowler to open the hatch and fly lower to allow him observe the drone soldiers.When the ship flew lower, he handed a camera device to Liu and ask him to snap him as many pictures as possible with the drone soldiers on the ground as the background. After about ten pictures, Sergent Liu showed the pictures to Brook. But he didn't like them much because they were not clear enough to see his face in them. So he asked that Fowler fly around again and also commanded Liu to sn
**CENTAURIAN EMPIRE**"Astra a guard has seen all these, don't make this uglier than it is already. I will surely get you back to earth, you need to trust me and give me a little time" Prince Adriel said"you have to do it quickly. We don't have all the time in the world. Your people are destroying my planet and killing my people. You have just seven days to get me out of here, otherwise, you will regret it" Astra said and lowered her blades, then asked Elena to do the same. "what are you going to do about the guard? Now that he has seen us holding knives to your throats" Elena asked the prince. "don't worry about that. All the palace and chamber guards aren't real humans. The only real humans are personal security like Claria" the prince explained. "on Centauri, there are certain kinds of jobs or duties that real humans never do. We have the technology to easily craft a robot that can do it better than a human could" the prince added as he walks towards the guard who came in earli
