The human federation base continues to become weaker day by day. The absence of Astra has been major set back, and now the central computer has caused the biggest problem ever encountered in the base. Carter has done all he could to salvage the situation, but it just seems like he is doing nothing. Right now, the strong hold of the humans seems to have nothing to depend on when the aliens attack. The shield is the only defence tool standing between the aliens and humans. The emerald shield and the aether shield is still working because it's not connected to the central computer. The federation human base is covered under two shields, the first emerald shield, then the aether shield which was developed letter on. Astra then, suggested that the aether shield should be built over the emerald shield. When the Shield was activated, Carter suggested that there is no need to link it to the central computer because it needs to be kept on, at all times. On the night of that day, Jamie w
Carter and Rhoda have gone round the base along the edges of the shield, but didn't find any problem with the shield or any other problem. They went back into the base and continued searching for the cause of the buzzing sound. But there was still no sign of any problem.While the search was still on, Carter is working on the computer, going over and over the programs trying to find any fault, while Rhoda was beside him looking at the results of the analysis of the substance that killed Jamie. Suddenly, a broadcast began on all screens and speakers "attention all human! We are aware that you are in no state to fight a war right now, we are also aware that you can't figure what caused a sound in your base. The sound is as a result of a gap created in your aether shield. You have ten hours to fix it or you will receive a little surprise through it"As soon as the broadcast was over, all the screens and speakers shut down and commander tyra was gone. After the voice broadcast, everyon
In less than a year i was a happy man, living my dream life, i had a good job and almost everything i needed. The world was flourishing, families were happy. Today, the whole of humanity lives in a land not bigger than a state. Our total population is no longer up-to any state in the former USA. Of all the ways i thought it will end for me, i never imagined it this way. Carter's shoulders have become weak, his joints are sour and his hopes have vanished, as he stood with his eyes now closed expecting to experience death any second. A relief came to Carter when the harrowers made a humming sound. He opened his eyes and saw that the green helion lights on the side of harrowers had gone off and they are no longer vibrating. The harrowers have been switched off. The creaking sound of the harrowers were no longer heard by people in the bunkers. A form of relief is beginning to return and every one on the base remained quiet and trying to be sure the harrowers are no longer making the cr
The base has become quite ever since the harrowers incidence. With little hope in the atmosphere, there was not much topics for the people to discuss. The ships can't be used without energy to power them. Amidst the scary peace in the base, the buzzing sound that began the nightmare filled the air again. When the sound was over, the ships and the shield were back to what they were. The central computer have also been restored. The ships got powered and all the base weapons have automatically activated themselves. This is what commander Tyra had promised earlier. By now, every human on the base have seen how merciless things could get if humans do not surrender in three days time. **CENTAURIAN EMPIRE**Although the assassin was unable to mention who sent her, the prince and Astra knows who were responsible. Prince Adriel had been sleepless thinking about what to do regarding his assassination attempt by the other houses. As much as he wants to take an action about the several attem
A look at his face would tell that he is deeply lost in his thoughts. His angry and dull looking face suddenly turned to a smile. He smiled and continued to smile until his widening smile exposed his tooth. "I know exactly what to do" Jeroth of house Darko said to himself.Later, King Jeroth decided to go to house Agnus to see Prince Adriel regarding his new plan. He secretly sneaked out without guards, dressed like a commoner to avoid being identified because he does not want anyone to know, especially the leaders of the other three houses. When he got to house Agnus, he decided to teleport from one hideout to another until he finds the prince. The prince was seating on the round table in the library with Astra as usual. While Claria stood motionless behind the prince, with her hands crossed behind her. They were discussing Astra's return to earth and how to make it possible without king Agnus knowing, because they don't want him to ever find out Astra is a Terran. prince Adriel
As soon as Jeroth left, Prince Adriel took Astra to out. Outside of his chamber, they entered the royal ship of house Agnus, which is a means of transportation used by only the king of the house. The ship is completely made up of gold and powered only by the presence of the person with the helion commandment. King Agnus has given it to the prince the previous day, it's part of his ways to show that his son is now the king of the empire. This is the first time Astra is seeing it, Inside of it looks like any luxurious limo she knows on earth, except for the gold and some high tech functions and also the fact that it flies rather than moves on wheels. They soon began to drive to house Elora to negotiate a deal concerning the teleportation machine that would return Astra back to earth. On their way, the prince, Astra and Claria were surprised to see the city shining from afar. It's as if they have an alternative energy supply. When the ship got to the city, they saw that house Elora h
Her aether wings are completely out and flapping. Although it looks like a deadly battle is about to occur, the surprise on people's faces when these wings are out, never fails to amaze even the enemies. She flew up high in the hall. The guards looked up and all they could see is a bright white light, like the sunlight piercing through a hole in the roof. Akaris knows what Astra is capable of, but he also doesn't want to defy the orders of king Adriel. When he looked around and imagined the level of damage Astra could cause in his house, he started "Astra calm down and come back down. Even if i give you the machine, i will suggest you see the prince before you leave. You need to know why he did this to you"Although none of Astra's senses seems to be working, she was able to somehow hear the last part of Akaris's words. Astra began to descend gently. when she was down, she deactivated her aether sword. Her eyes return to normal brown color that they are. The only reason why she ha
Two days have passed already and there is still no word about king Agnus. His personal assistant is still unconscious in the hospital. The doctors have assured the prince that he will be conscious soon but that has not happened yet. The next day, the king's personal assistant woke up. The guard on the watch, at the door, had called the prince already. The prince was the first and only person allowed to see him before anyone else. when the prince arrived, he sat beside him on the bed. Then gave the nurses the permission to come in and check on the patient to make sure he is fine. After a couple of checking and tests, the nurses left the room for the prince. "you have been unconscious for almost two days now. You were found laying on the ground at the king's personal chamber. Tell me what happened" prince Adriel asked looking directly into his eyes. As he was about to reply the prince, he began to cough uncontrollably. The prince stretched his hand and picked a cup of water from a t
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
