As soon as the crawler realized Astra was charging towards it, it dropped the soldiers it was munching off of and made the same blood curling shriek that it made on the first day that it came out of the monolith. Making the crawlers and red hounds scattered all over the destroyed bridges to respond.

Astra closed the distance between them in no time, despite a direct order for her to wait for her teammates so they can attack it as a team, she paid no heed, her attention on the monster, yet her mind stuck in the memories of the day the monoliths landed. The image of Jada’s face driving the rover as best as she could to get them out of the city and away from the persistent crawler in front of her.

“Today, I shall take that life of yours!” She shouted out loud and threw her HELL-blade at it. The crawler dodged it to the right, just as Astra has predicted it would. She has dashed there and pulled back the sword.

The crawler threw a strike with one of its clawed legs, Astra barely dodged

    Before Astra could reach the where she kept her HELL-blades, the entire camp had woken up as sirens were blaring loudly. The soldiers have mounted heavy machine guns and grenade launchers on the wall. As soon as Astra picked her blades, the alpha and beta team gathered and moved together to the upper parts of the steel barricades around the base. “prepare for an all out bombardment and brace for impact!” the commander said over public address system, which reverberated all over the base. From the far distance, the ship sitting on the bank of the sea started to fire its cannons and missiles into the air in a valley headed for the island. With a thundering impact, the entirety of the island goes up in flames, shaking the very island itself. She pulls out her binocular and switched on infrared vision. She put it over her face and quickly dropped the telescope from her hands. She immediately turns on her hell blades and the other ones, which Rhoda is holding at the moment. “Get ready

    Both Astra and Rhoda have reached an incredible speed of rotation, with a loud metallic clashing sound. Their HELL-blades hit each other and, just as Astra has suspected all along, the blades didn’t release an explosion of energy. When they finally stopped spinning, she realised something. The blades are pulsating with energy. The one in her hand begins to vibrate and as the alien spiders get closer and closer to them, she noticed the blades glowing brighter and brighter. “I understand what is going on, I think. Whoever made these must have made them with the ability to store the energy generated when they clash. I can feel this one is full of massive energy.” Astra remarked and started inspecting the buttons on the handle of the blade. “I have always wondered what these other buttons do, it is time I test them out, so step back into the base!” She shouted at Rhoda. She pointed the blade at the group of crawlers and pressed the second button located on her index finger. Immediatel

    Astra and Rhoda headed straight to the training room in the military unit together with Carter. They met the rest of the alpha team members at the entrance, waiting for them. They went straight in. the training equipment of the room had been removed and replaced with target practice dolls kept at different pars of the room. The two HELL-blades have been kept on a table by the right corner of the room, which has an anti blast shield in front of it. Carter walked to the table and sat behind the blast shield. “Come and pick your blades.” He said. Astra walked to the table and reached for her hands to pick the single blade. She stopped halfway and turned around to look at Carter. “I would like to go back to using the twin blades. I think they may be more efficient for me.” She said. In response, Carter’s face brightened up with a smile that tells Astra he has already figured what she is trying to do. She reached out and picked the blades, strapping the battery pod on her back and turn

    Carter approached her one step at a time, walking over pieces of equipment that the massive energy wave has scattered around the floor. He collected the two blades from her hands and examine them carefully. “I don’t understand what is going on here. If the battery pod is no longer connected to the blade, how is it possible that they are still active and, even better, glowing white?” Asked Carter with clear confusion on his face. Astra smiled and picked up a little piece of the green crystal bits on the floor in front of them. She approached him and brought the crystal close to the surface of her blade. He quickly withdraws back and shouted, “Are you out of your goddamn mind? That would create another explosion.” “I can now see the reason why you couldn’t figure how the blades are still powered despite the battery pod being removed. The energy source that we need to power it is right in front of your eyes, but you are too afraid of it to harness it.” Said Astra. As if possessed by

    “So you are saying we each get our own super weapons?” Asked Kate. “Yes, but only if you consent to partake in the dangerous missions that he will be tasking us with. Humanity is on the brink of literal extinction. Everything is on the line.” Astra answered. A few minutes later, a group of six soldiers walked into the training room and stood by the large patch of the letter ‘X’ that has been welded into the walls of the room. They turned around and saw Astra standing, with the two Japanese Katana swords on her back. They approached her and stood. Jamie suddenly stood at attention, raised his right hand and saluted them. “private Jamie, Sir, it is an honor to be in your company.” He said, and they started laughing at him. “It is okay private, Carter said that we will be working together from now on. We will be in your care.” A woman with a crew cut hair style said. She turned around where the rest of the five soldiers who came with her and stand behind her said. “Is that the girl

    As soon as they flew through the door, they were confronted by man and women looking weak and starving. Some of them were wearing dirty military uniforms and some weren’t, but all of them held guns and were pointing them at Astra and her colleagues. “Drop your guns and get down from the flying board or we will not show any mercy to you useless pirates!” one of the men barely shouted at them. “Do we have to kill those too because I will if they have done anything to Eric?” she said, pulling out her gun. “Wait, I think he just called us pirates. There may be a misunderstanding here.” Rhoda said. Astra lowered her flying blade so that she could see eye to eye with the man in the middle of the crowd talking. The rest of the people were covering him so that he wouldn’t stand out, but Astra noticed a few more things. She turned off her hover blade and put back her gun into the gun holder on her waist. “These people are soldiers.” She turned back and said to her team, then turned back to

    Elena and the rest of the emerald ghosts pulled out their weapons as well. Rhoda pulled her HELL-whip out, she activated it and it instantly started glowing green. “What the hell are these? Ehemmm. I mean, what on earth are these weapons, Ma’am?” Marcia asked. Astra laughed at the man, who was obviously confused and said. “These are humanity’s chance of taking back our home from these mindless monsters, the only weapons that can kill the aliens.” “We need to get moving out right now. The more time we waste, the more the chances that we may lose Eric. Open the door for me. I will enter the outer part and take care of the cannibal pirates there so we can get out of here.” Elena said. Astra tuned off her blades and put them back on their case. She walked to where Elena was standing next to Eric, who was on the floor passed out and said. “give us some of your guns. We cannot waste our green tipped bullets on these excuses of human beings that will rather cannibalize other humans.” S

    Elena was frozen in amazement of the scale that Astra has unleashed, she has heard the rumors about a newbie who uses some super powerful weapon that tore through the amour protection of the training room wall and quiet light she saw the patch on the wall, but this is different. She never expected that the girl on the floor in front of her can unleash an attack that can wipe out an army battalion. “This girl is a weapon of mass destruction herself. And to think that she is the only person in the entire world who has authority over the weapons.” She thought and rushed to where Astra was on the floor. She picked her up in her arms and picked the HELL-blades which have already deactivated. Khan flew to them and dialed his smart watch, calling the phantom cruiser to come pick them up. As soon as the call goes through, the thundering sounds of the booster rocket engines flying the gigantic ship boomed all over the place. From the side, it descended from the clouds and lowered a large rect

    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

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.
