As soon as they were out of the lava zone, Astra brought them down and Adriel was still not settled. He looked up above them and kept staring upwards.

The beeping on their bracelets continued once again, showing them the same massage it has warned them with earlier.

Watching the sky to see what exactly that means. All of a sudden, A bright light shone in the sky, making all of them understand what they had to do.

“That is a large meteorite shattering upon hitting the atmosphere, it looks like the fragments will be raining down on this region a few minutes later. What do we do now?” she asked.

Adriel turned around and twisted his ring, another golden tablet appeared in his hand and he pressed many thing at the same time that although she could watch him do it, Astra has no idea what he was doing.

As the light of the meteor shower brightens up with thousands of fragments heading their way, Adriel finally finished setting up whatever it was that he was using the tablet to set, he tur

    Back at the forest outside the walls of the Estelona regional colonies, five shadow assassins lurk in the shadows of the forest awaiting the arrival of their traveling companion from the Tyra colony, one of the unbeatable five of Tyra. Each of them dressed in pitch black suits that can absorb all light around them in a fairly lighted area to blend in with the shadows, the suits cover every part of their bodies with a hood on top that covers their head and masks to cover their faces. The five assassins have been tasked specifically by their master, Lord Shina, to travel all the way to the center of the abandoned plains of Centauri. They have arrived an hour ago but have yet to meet their travel companion from the Tyra household. The assassins came out of the shadows and assembled under the canopy of the forest. “Who exactly, from the unbeatable five, is it going to be? It will better not be Sting. If it is her, I don’t think I can work with her. Aren’t we even better off carrying out

    “Why were we not able to see it at all earlier? We were in their nest this whole time and we had no idea at all. How is that possible?” Astra asked. “That is because of the black widow’s special trait absolute camouflage. But if you noticed, nit is not only the black widows that we did not see, even the pile of dead Argonaut demons was invisible to us until we washed our eyes with the spectral fluid.” Adriel said, rolling his eyes to the left to see if there is any of the black widows that has noticed them. “They have a unique biology, just like many other living things, they have developed and evolved to what they are today to suit their environment and enhance their survival, the black widows have an eye that can see light in a mixture of the infrared and ultraviolet spectra that other species can’t see. Their bodies produce a mucus that resonate and absorb only infrared and ultraviolet spectra of light, making it invisible to us and other species.” “The liquid we washed our eyes

    Astra saw the look in the female guard’s eye, she remember her well enough, from when she hid in the pool chamber and watched her, to the duel she fought with the black knight back in the Agnus castle, she knew that the guard has had an eye out for her all along, the way she looks at her and the reaction she has on her face whenever their eyes met. “This is different now, in her eyes I am but an enemy of the empire, probably a lowly Terran who by her standards has no rights in the face of her superior existence.” Astra said to herself. She landed prince Adriel by the side and retrieved her five blades, keeping them activated and floating just above her head. Adriel’s helion shield deactivated instantly, his face looks a little tired to Claria and he has not said anything. “I knew it, the helion heart is really weak without the commandment, if I want to wield helion artifacts I will need the commandment after all, the effects on my body are huge. I feel so dizzy and out of it.” Adrie

    With itching pain in her eyes, Claria looked in the direction where the prince is lying down and saw five black widows emerging from the hole that she has dug earlier to save him from the cavern he was trapped in. “What in the world is going on here? Not only did the Terran had me beat in a fight but there are black widow all the way out here? Just what is going on here? Either way, I have to get Adriel out of there right now. I can deal with the Terran later.” She murmured to herself and clasp her palms together. ‘I need to get my helion heart to hundred percent activated if I want to beat a single black widow, that is if I can even beat one. But if I can get the prince and get out of here fast enough, then I may have a chance of saving him.’ She thought and continue the process of activating the helion heart. When she looked in the direction where Astra was standing earlier, there was nobody there, Astra has immediately activated her blades and zoomed in the direction of the princ

    After twenty three minutes of killing the Argonaut demons around him, Dula has finally dispersed the large horde into a small handful of beasts that are currently retreating away from the position back into their plains. With a blood covered body, she shouted at the top of his lungs and in celebration of his victory as he walks back to the edge of he lava zone where the shadow assassins were waiting for the right opportunity to follow the rare clouds of meteors that pass and sometimes even more rare than there passing, they fall onto the mountain ranges beyond the lava zone. “That was an incredible fight alright, but I know you guys are still rookies in the desert so here is a little piece of advice. Right now we have about twenty minutes to get the hell out of here, these Argonaut demons may look like they were running from me after I have killed hundreds of them but that is not true at all. The beasts in the wild have a sense of danger that is unparalleled to that of any living th

    For the next seven hours, Astra and Claria sat in the resting area of the cube shaped vehicle as it slowly approaches the end of the desert where their next step of the journey awaits them. Throughout their stay in the resting center of the vehicle, they mostly stare at one another awkwardly, not knowing what to say to each other and barely overcoming the fact that they almost killed each other not too many hours ago. With a little bit of courage and wit, Claria managed to ask. “So what is it like in Terra? I know this is so sudden but what is it like growing up there, with the vastness of water bodies that the planet has?” With an expressionless face, Astra turned around and looked at the soldier seated next tom her in tattered stealth uniform and an inquisitive look in her face. “Are you for real? You mean to tell me that your entire civilization is about to migrate to a planet four and a half light years away and even top ranking soldiers like you have not been briefed about wha

    The alien from the tower has just appeared in the presidential meeting hall in base zero and Carter is standing right next to him on the podium. He immediately reached for his HELL- blade and realized that it is not there at the moment. ‘Shit, I left it in my room when I was coming out, but come to think of it. How the hell did this alien bastard get all the way here? Did he teleport here? I can assume that he did since they themselves teleported here from where they came from. If that is the case, then I am more interested in why he is here.” Carter thought. At this moment, the emerald ghost squads have been mobilized and surrounded the meeting hall. Elena, Khan, Rhoda, Jamie, and all of the rest of the core members of the squad immediately broke into the meeting hall with their HELL-blades blazing hot. The alien, which has been standing in the middle of the room, finally turned around and looked in the direction of the squad, “Hahahahaha! Finally, someone strong enough for me to

    From above them, a long vine with hundreds of needle sharp spikes swing itself down in their direction, as Astra studies it, she noticed that it was long enough to reach them from the roof of the forest and although it was covered in spikes that can skewer a person if they hit them; she noticed an even bigger thing about the vines she should watch out for. Each of them stood in place and watched the vine miss them. The tip of the vine is accumulated into a thick round ball shaped structure that both carry much of the vine’s weight and help it gain momentum when it swings. “So this is more a wrecking ball trap than an actual spike trap, but the wrecking balls at the end of the vines are also covered with the spikes as well.” Astra said to herself. She threw one of her swords and hit the bulb on the vine, cutting it open and making the sliced half fall on the floor and the vines to splatter a fluid on the floor as well. A foul smell immediately covered the entire place and Astra could

    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.

    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.

    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
