“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
Astra quickly stopped spinning and sat next to Elena, raising her and resting her head on her lap. “Is she going to be alright? Should I call the ambulance unit?” captain Andrew asked. “No, I just knocked her unconscious, she is perfectly fine. Just give her a minute and she will wake up just like that.” Astra said. The rest of the team gathered around and sat on the bare floor with the two of them. “I am never going to duel Astra, there is just no winning fights against her. One chop and she is down. Oh my God.” Jamie said and the rest of the team murmured in agreement. “I really didn’t do much, if he has tried harder that she did, I might actually be the one on the floor right now. Plus I am telling you that after waking up, I feel like my strength has doubled or something, I feel really light on my feet.” she said. “Thanks to you Eric is still alive, if you were not there to do whatever it is that you do, I don’t know what would have happened to us, none of us or the weapons we
Two days into the journey to the island located halfway across the world, the phantom cruiser has already closed eighty percent of the distance, it is two o’clock in the night and Astra has just been woken up by the alarm system on the ship. The speakers all over the ship are blaring loudly and Carter is on the deck addressing all personnel of the Emerald ghosts squad. “Attention! Attention! All members of the emerald ghosts are to assemble on the deck of the ship right now. This is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill.” The voice said. Astra woke up and put on her camouflage hoodie, the weather is freezing cold. She carried her HELL-blades and put them in the new sheath that Carter made for her and head to the deck. When she arrived, there were many soldiers wearing the black uniforms with the tag and symbol of the emerald ghosts. Captain Andrew stood in front of all of them addressing them, to the right side of the soldiers are the main members of the squad including the el
With the giant Arachnid queen dead, Astra and the Emerald ghosts evacuated the island to the phantom cruiser where they were met with every person aboard the ship in celebration and praise for their victory. She ship, stationed in the shore of Quartz sixty island, was turned off to save fuel. After the celebratory events that the soldiers organized, everyone eventually leaves the deck for their dorms as the night falls. Astra was sleepy, so she stood up and headed to the bridge where Carter and captain Andrew were busy going over some documented plans for constructions on the island. “Here comes humanity’s bravest hero. Astra of the twin glowing blades.” Andrew said with a crooked smile on his face. “Don’t mind him Astra, he is trying to cheer for you but he is better suited for formal military congratulations, this is him trying to be casual with you. Carter said. She turned around and look at Captain Andrew, stood at attention and saluted him. “thank you for the efforts you put
Astra quickly stood on her feet, Carter and every soul on the fortress came running to the deck, the engineers and workers on the island both constructing new building and excavating emerald crystals stopped their work, everybody is gazing upwards at some of the scattered pierces of the moon floating away in space from the force of the explosion, and the smaller pieces that are currently raining down on earth. A siren went off, Astra’s smart bracelet pinged a massage, and it is an emergency protocol asking everyone on board to get off the island back into the floating fortress. She ran to the back of the gigantic ship to find Carter and ask what is going on and why everyone is required to get off the island immediately with a countdown of two minutes and twenty seconds. The workers on the island raced one another into the fortress. As soon as she was inside, she head to the only place someone like Carter will be at the moment, although she knows that the fortress has a lot of Astro
