Invasion: the apocalypse 9.2: THE DUST DEVILS
Elena followed Carter to his laboratory right after, upon arrival she saw that the shape and arrangement of the laboratory has been changed completely. Where Astra’s stuff were, has been changed completely to into other laboratory functions.But one thing has not changed at all and that is the large central space where the black ring that accidentally transported Astra after exploding is, has been preserved, Carter has secretly continued the research into the kind of technology that was used to form the ring.But from what Elena could see, she realized that he must not have made any much progress on the research since all she can see are a bunch of prototype smaller versions of the ring structure that have on them stickers that said “Failed!”As Carter walked to the other side of the laboratory, Elena walked to the center to check out what the covered object in the center of the defective prototypes were. She walked close to it and was about to pull the curtain used to cover it off wh
Invasion: the apocalypse 9.3: THE LOST CITY 1
From all directions surrounding them, large prehistoric looking crocodiles started jumping out of the mud and attacking them, Adriel’s helion shield could not do so much in blocking the strong bite force of the Nile beasts.Astra has engaged one of the beasts, it jumped out of the mud and grabbed her arm and is currently trying to drag her under the muddy floor of the swamp, she is trying her absolute best to stay above and not get dragged down. The beast started one of the most dangerous characteristic attack patterns of its smaller earth counterparts and Astra recognized it immediately.“This is dangerous, if it starts rolling around, I will have to roll along with it or risk my arm being torn out of my body in a painful and gruesome manner. But if I roll with it, I will lose my footing and get dragged into the mud. That will be a death sentence for me. Since I can’t have that, I guess it is time to try something new.” She thought and activated her aether heart.For a few seconds, s
Invasion: the apocalypse 9.4: TEMPLE OF ZEGNA
After walking for some hours following the directions of the digital navigation that Adriel has been using all the way from the empire’s walls, they finally arrive at the foot of a large pyramidal structure that is made entirely of a pitch black material that Astra could not recognize at all.The pyramid is so massive that looking at it, Astra realized it will fit at least three of the Giza historical pyramids back on earth and still have room for more, yet all of it is pitch black.It suddenly strike her how she got to Centauri, the ring! It was made of pitch black material just like this one. But those dreams that I was having, the computers and spaceships that they were inside were all made of the same material. The dimensional ring too.“What is this thing?” She said, pointing at the enormous pyramid.“That my dear is Zegna’s temple. The most sacred place in all of this god-forsaken planet we call our home.” Dula said.“Not the temple, that part is obvious I think anyone will be a
Invasion: the apocalypse 9.4.1: TRIAL 1
As soon as they entered the room, the large and heavy doors swung and closed themselves in a loud thump that made both of them to turn back. The light from the room has blinded them completely, making it impossible for neither Astra nor Adriel to see anything from inside of the room.After about a minute of absolute silence and blinding light that although Astra has closed her eyes to, shoe could still feel it burning into her eyes.“O you children of man, seat and I shall give you the knowledge you need to take the trial of the goddess of the sun, the priestess of the night and the queen of the city of Babylon.” A deep masculine voice that reverberates around the place in a down tone echo said, and all of a sudden, Astra felt her legs bending on their own and herself sitting on the floor.The light in the place suddenly dimmed down and as Astra squints and opens her eyes slowly, she could see prince Adriel sitting next to her on the opposite side. Each of them has a box in their fron
Invasion: the apocalypse 9.4.2: THE TRIAL 2
Astra raised her head upwards to see where the shining light attack came from and from the clouds descended a woman ling ridiculously long hair, her wings were larger and more beautiful that the rest of them, on her head, a golden tiara that makes her majestic rest. Decorated around it are listening gems that immediately caught Astra’s attention.On her hand is a bow made almost completely of light, she was drawing an arrow of light in it that is currently accumulating light and shining even brighter. She aimed and fired the second shot at the vile creatures that are swarming below.As the arrow leaves the bow, turning into a straight large beam of light heading towards the ground at an incredible speed, but as it got out of the clouds, it suddenly shattered into tens of little sparks that fall to the ground and exploded upon impact.The sound of a horn being blown suddenly caught Astra’s attention, making her look to her side to see who was blowing it among her fellow winged ladies a
Invasion: the apocalypse 9.5: A BIRD LOST IN TIME
Astra remained coiled up in the place she was sitting in the cave, blanketing herself in her wings for a couple of more hours before she finally regained her strength again and made her mind up to try fly out of the cave. She walked to the entrance of the cave and observed the weather, wing and the surrounding to be sure she was safe in free fall before she walked all the way to the innermost section of the cave.“Here goes nothing! If I die here, I die for real.” She said out loud and charged forward in a run, as fast as she could go with her wings folded as perfectly as possible. When she reached the edge of the cave at the entrance, she jumped out as fast as she could.The air was cold and the wind currents are strong. Astra descended towards the ground for about a minute before she finally opened her wings, braking drastically and started gliding just a couple of meters above a river connected to a waterfall that is falling from the mountain.Astra started beating her wings and ga
Invasion: the apocalypse 9.6: DEVOTION
Astra stood there confused as to what is going on and yet still, what she should do now.“I should probably just fly out of here right now, I have done enough and saved the child and looking at them, they may not kill them even if I leave now. But then what if they do and where exactly am I going to if I leave? These wings can fly well but unless I can make them dissipate like the aether ones the real me have, I cannot just live along these people, they will either try to catch me with a bird trap or start to worship me like they are right now” Astra thought to herself, getting carried away by her thoughts and forgetting about the people in prostration that have surrounded her.She opened her wings wide and point her finger at the King, and the clergy man.“You and you, tell your people to get on with their normal activities and leave. I will like to spend some time with you two to talk.” She said.Immediately she said that, the king finally stood up and nodded at the guard near him w
Invasion: the apocalypse 9.7: A CONFUSING DREAM
Then again, Astra found herself in the sky once more, fling with all her might alongside others who are winged like her and dressed like her and all heading ton what she can now see as some sort of castle in the middle of the sky.The castle looks more spaceship-like than an actual castle to her however, and it is so high in the sky that its entrance is the only thing that is with the sky and the majority of the rest of its body is in space.Some of the winged female soldiers have already arrived at the large entrance and passed through it straight into the castle. Astra turned her head around and saw that there are now an uncountable number of the alien creatures swarming after them in the sky, catching up to the ones that are tired and butchering them with their claws and feeding on them as they fall from the sky.This is even more terrifying for Astra than the fact that she just keeps finding herself in random places. They have arrived in the space near the castle and a few gigant
