Invasion: the apocalypse 6.9: BLACK WIDOW'S NEST AND THE ASCENT OUT OF HELL
“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
Invasion: the apocalypse 7.0: MISUNDERSTANDING
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
Invasion: the apocalypse 7.1: COMMON GOAL
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
Invasion: the apocalypse 7.2: CLOSING IN
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
Invasion: the apocalypse 7.3: ENCOUNTER
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
Invasion: the apocalypse 7.4: ENCOUNTER 2
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
Invasion: the apocalypse 7.5: BETRAYAL
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
Invasion: the apocalypse 7.6: A NEW LIGHT
Astra slowly opened her eyes to the beating of drums and a chorus humming of people surrounding her. She tried to recall what happened last before she passed out and Adriel came to her mind. ‘That is right, I was with Adriel and the guard Claria, we went past the forest fighting the venomous apes and I used an aether blast to clear a way for us but I was bitten by a flying severed ape head. But where am I? We were in the canyon or something last I checked. What is that sound?’ Astra murmured to herself and tried to roll around but was met with a pain unlike she has ever felt in her life. As the pain surges from her arm, through her neck and all the way down her spine, she let out a loud grunt that made all of the persons humming around her to stop for a second, maintained the silence for a while before bursting into loud chants in a language she has never heard of before. With a fresh sweat breaking on her forehead, Astra turned her head and realized that she was bound hands and leg
