Carter was hesitant at first. He wanted to be absolutely sure that Astra was dead before he makes his decision of leaving the area to the fortress before whatever attacked just a minute ago fires the second attack. ‘I may be scientist by choice, but above all of that, I am here as a soldier and Astra may be special, but she is not worth thousands of lives.’ He thought and finally decide to keep going head on without turning back. A few minutes later, the five phantom cruisers landed and docked the floating fortress, with the main cruiser having one of its engines destroyed, they started heading straight back to Quartz sixty island, now renamed Base Zero. It has been two months since the emerald Ghosts have left in the quest to rescue survivors from the Japanese shelters outside the planes of Tokyo Giga cities. From the far distances, none of them could recognize the island anymore, the walls around it have been erected even taller that they were and mounted on them are even more emer
Looking at them now, these are just kids, not like I am not one myself, just that my life and theirs are not the same; on a regular day, they will be in high school or possibly a year or two in college so why am I here on the top of a rooftop in an alien infested city tied down on a bed and being asked questions I will love to ask the aliens myself.“I would love for the aliens to tell me the answer to your questions kid, I don’t get why you are pointing your weapons at a bound person who has been in your care for….” Astra was saying and trying to check which day it is and determine how long she has been passed out, but realizes that her smart bracelet is not on her wrist anymore.“Holy shit! Where the heck is my bracelet? This is not funny kids, give it back. It is the only way for me to contact the fortress and get my guys to come pick me off of here.” She shouted at them.The scared gi
**(BASE ZERO)**The sun has just risen and it is six o’clock in the morning. Carter has just been woken up by a call on his secured bracelet channel from captain Andrew’s office. With sleep in his eyes, he managed to stay woke and answered the call, knowing that Andrew only call him early in the morning when there is an emergency, Carter already expects something big.“Hey Carter! Wake up and get over here at the excavation site, the workers were mining that dense chunk of the moon that fell on the island and found something, you need to get here and see it.” Andrew said.“For God’s sake Andrew, just get some of the geologists and analysts to tell you what kind of mineral or space rock it is, you don’t have to wake me up this early in the morning when you know that I have spent the last five nights in my laboratory developing the what will help your career reach its maximum height. J
Nat, Kana, and the rest of their colleagues watched yet another unbelievable thing that Astra has done, one she has done. As if falling out of the sky naked, glowing white light out of her body and literally telekinetically controlling two glowing blades are not enough surprises. Now she has leapt out of a building forty storeys high with no parachute.All the seven of them watched her fall all the way close to the ground before she pulled out her blades, activated them. Astra put the blades just below her feet, using them as gliders and telekinetically moving them forward.‘This sure looks like the flying blade technique from ancient Chinese myths. I will name it that and I know Elena and Khan will want to kill me out of jealousy.’ She thought as she glided back upwards to avoid drawing the attention of the crawlers on the street.After passing a few blocks to her right and left, she finally found the building w
“Are these rocket engines powered by emerald energy? I have been wondering how you could be here a few minutes after you get my massage. Don’t tell me you are travelling at these extreme speeds, or did you two warp your ay here through some portal?” Astra asked Carter and Elena.The two of them burst into uncontrollable laughter. Looking at them, Astra was annoyed that they were laughing at her questions, which to her are as legit and reasonable as can be considering the situation and the turn of events that they find themselves. But beyond all of that, she is very happy seeing that they are as happy as they are to see her again.“You are right on the first guess that this hypersonic ship uses emerald energy powered rocket engines and we call the emerald drives, but you are not correct that we received your massage and just zoomed massage and just warp around space to get here. We were already on the coasts of J
The hypersonic ship came to a stop with five consecutive sonic booms at one of the islands near Japan, each of the loud booms was louder than the other. Carter handed the controls of the ship to two of the soldiers that they brought with them who are pilots,“You keep her in the sky no matter what happens, okay? Even if we die in there you are not to ever bring this ship down without an order from either myself or any of the core members of the emerald ghosts. Understood?” Carter asked the two pilots.“Yes Sir!” They responded.He gathered all of the soldiers and Astra’s team ay the back of the ship and said.“We have already gone through the plan, we are to isolate the Gorgon from the rest of the crawlers, then Astra, Rhoda, Elena, Khan and myself will take care of the Gorgon by ourselves. That being said, if any of you get the chance to score a hit in vital area of the Gorgon,
Within a few seconds, the ship descended from the sky and landed on its four emerald drive booster engines, which also serve as the landing gear when they are facing downwards. The large hatch door at the back of the ship opened and all of them walked back in.As Astra steps into the shit, she shuts down the new flying PENTA-blades and gathered them close to each other. The ship’s hatch door closed and emerald drives were brought back online. Carter got out of his mechanical suit unit and got on the pilot’s seat. He levitated the shit and started flying it off of the island.With Astra and the rest of the core members of the emerald ghosts squad seated at the back of the ship, Elena picked up one of the new HELL-blades that Astra has gotten from the gorgon’s body, she observed it for a while, lifting and swinging it gently.“These blades are five in number, but they only weight one fifth of a normal h
It has been five months since we have discovered the emerald elemental crystals on the quartz sixty island and exactly nine months since the appearance of the aliens spheres that brought about the end of the world as we knew it, although we used to think that our civilization has advanced so far because of how much about the physic we utilize in our technologies, that belief was wiped right out of our minds when the invasion begun seen months ago.Despite our technology and what we considered advanced weaponry, it only four monoliths that spawn unintelligent beast to bring us down, our technology was rendered useless as none of our weapons were effective against the aliens monsters that ascended from the bottom of monoliths.More than seventy percent of humanity was lost and the rest were forced underground to live in shelters, but thanks to the acts of a single individual, humanity had a second chance, that person is my mother Jada! People suspect that she is an
