Arran walked back to his group, following commander Margo’s instructions. Along the way, he was in a daze.

Thinking back to what he’s learned from commander Margo, Arran was in a special state of disbelief. It was that feeling when you thought you knew someone very well, only to find out you didn’t know that at all.

That is how Arran felt right now when he heard how old his old man was.

3000 years... this was not a number many people could relate to when it came to how long one could live.

All his life, Arran had grown with the idea that he would live a very short life and die after only 90 years. It was only when coming to the upper realm that he found out it was possible to live for a thousand years naturally.

This was even without training and increasing the level of one's life to a different stage. But even then, the idea that he could live an almost immortal life was still strange, and he had yet to accept it. That was why, when he learned his parents were more than 3000 years ol

    Arran, dressed in a black space suit, stared out the window at the endless stretch of darkness that was space and for the first time, he felt small and insignificant before the vast expanse.This was not the first time that Arran was looking out at space. But at other times, he had either been moving too fast to notice how vast and expansive space truly was, or he didn’t care enough to actually sense his own incongruity with the universe.But this time, Arran was completely stationary and had been like this for many hours. That is why the feeling suddenly struck him.After leaving the outpost, Arran and the other cadets had arrived at their designated location and were currently in the loading cabin of a battle cruiser that was parked on the route they were meant to patrol and set up an ambush in case any criminals ever make it to their side.Since then, they had been here for almost four hours already but were still yet to see hide or hair of any vessels quickly sprinting through spa

    “Attention, all units to your stations. I repeat all units to your station. We have activity on our side. Prepare for battle.”With the orders given, it was as if life had been breathed into the station, as everything seemed to come alive all at once. The previously patrolling soldiers shuffled around even more frantically, and military personnel from all departments became incredibly active.Arran saw all this through his perception that was spread outside the ship. The biggest change was still with the cadets in the various cabins.Suddenly it was as if they had been injected with a pack of hormones as every cadet lost the nervous look.In its place, excitement for the upcoming battle took hold of them.Most of the time, one might not be nervous when they were active, but they would definitely be nervous about inactivity. The saying that an idle mind is the devil's workshop is very true because when one has nothing to do, all sorts of random thoughts can come into one's mind, causin

  • Kingsman Return   Boarding The Enemy Vessel

    A vicious battle was going on outside the ship. Many ships zipped around in space, chasing and firing at each other. Their pilots were like demented gunners on steroids, each trying their best to down their enemy with immense firepower.Silent shockwaves from exploding ships spread around space, the dark spectacle of vessels bursting in bright lights made even darker by the ever-present silence that overshadowed the loss of life.The scene of fire and death entered the eyes of the cadets as they watched battle going on furiously in space. In this scene, death was like a promise given to everybody who took part in this gruesome debacle, one that hung over their heads as a constant reminder that your life may be forfeit and any time.Now the cadets knew what the pilot meant when he said he would try his best to get everyone across. He had said that because he knew that not even he could guarantee their safety on this terrible battlefield.But as if to comfort them before they would lose

  • Kingsman Return   Fighting The Resistance

    Having received command over the unit, Arran quickly gave orders to the cadets.“Alright, we are going to rush them. First, ignore the two by the access door and focus on the others, especially the three under the debris. That launcher worries me. Barry, take Nato Shelby and Flint and circle around to the debris. Cotten and Karry will cover you. Take down that launcher quickly before it causes any trouble for us.”“Clyde, you take point and attack the ones behind the broken wing. Take five more with you while the rest of us stay behind. Be careful cause they’ve got some heavy firepower. But it shouldn’t be a threat to you guys. As for the rest of you, fan out and cover your sixes. I’ll keep watch over the whole field and the access door in case anything happens.”“Move out!”Immediately after giving the order, the cadets started to move. Five veered off to the pile of debris where some enemy soldiers were fiddling with a launcher with three in the lead and two a little behind to cover

  • Kingsman Return   Captives

    After the enemies were captured, the cadets then moved to clean up the last two hidden beside the access doors.Whether by fortune or not, no reinforcements arrived to fight the cadets, and Arran’s team was able to secure the access doors easily. The two enemies hidden there had not put up much resistance and since they didn’t need any more captives, Arran’s team killed them both.Clyde had also finished taking care of the five that had put up the most resistance. Their bodies lay on the cold metal floor with holes punctured all over their bodies. No blood flowed from the wounds, as they had been cauterized up by the heat of the laser shots.Seeing as they were done, Arran gave the order to clear the area.“Alright everybody, sweep the area and search for anything that may be of value.”Arran left his spot at the back and went forward to meet his teammates. Along the way, he checked up on the situation of the other teams in the hangar.The hangar had suddenly gotten quieter and the ot

    “Alright everybody, gather up.”Some time had passed, and the cadets were once more ready to move. The team leader, whose name is Tim, finally called everybody to gather together.All the cadets rushed forward and surrounded Tim in the middle. He was fiddling with a hologram that showed a map of the cruiser's interior. Tim had gotten it after using the access codes the mercenary leader had given them.“Alright everybody, let’s make this short. According to the map, we are currently in the south board hangar of the cruiser. This is a small hangar that is used to hold the mercenary's ships. There are several other hangars scattered around the ship’s sides. Five in total, although the map only shows four, so I presume there is a secret hangar that the criminal heads would use in case they needed to escape.”“But dealing with the heads is not our mission. Our mission is to clear the ship's passageways and open a clear path for our boy's retreat. In that case, here’s what we’re going to do

  • Kingsman Return   Clearing The Levels

    As soon as the cadets reached the junction, they were met with fierce resistance. The mercenaries had set up a line of fire to ambush the cadets. With their upgraded weapons, they became much more of a threat to the cadets than before. But it was still not a problem to deal with them.In one swift wave of attacks from the cadets, the attacks of the mercenaries were dismantled by the cadet's offensive and their ambush was effectively thwarted.Facing four units and eighty cadets, the hundred-plus enemy mercenaries were no match for the immense firepower of the cadets' superior equipment. Even though they had upgraded their weapons and armor, those general weapons could still not compare to the military-grade blasters and armored suits that were developed by the aeth army and issued to all their soldiers.The strong defense of the mercenary's armor seemed like cardboard, as it completely crumbled under the fierce firepower of the blaster.In a single minute, all the enemies were defeate

  • Kingsman Return   Clearing The Levels 2

    The enemy cruiser was five kilometers long. Counting the basement level, there were four levels in the cruiser; each level was 200 meters high. Just going from one end to another would take close to an hour for a normal person to run from one end of the ship to another.For Arran, it would only take five minutes tops to run back and forth once. It was only for the sake of caution that they slowed down their pace to a crawl. But even then, it wouldn’t take them thirty minutes to scour the entire ship once. Such was the power that surpassed mortals.Arran led his unit to the first level in a minute, and they started their sweep. The forty of them moved swiftly and in order, each of them displaying a calm attitude devoid of nervousness or anxiety.With Arran’s perception, it was easy to spot enemies from far away and none could hope to escape from his senses. When one enemy was spotted, one would be gunned down without mercy. The cadets took no prisoners and left nine standing.Like an e

    The End… For Now!

    The battle which would later come to be known as the Apocalyptic Battle For Earth’s Survival ended in a dour note. This battle lasted for 4 hours and many lives were lost. Of these lives that went missing in the chaos of the battle, two were especially noteworthy for their relentless efforts to resist the vile invaders that threatened the planet Earth.They went by the names Arran Galen Von Stratenoff Nero and Faith (Poltergeist) Ohimai both of whom were presumed missing but still alive. Nobody knew where they went or what corner of the universe they currently found themselves. But wherever this was, they were both surely missed and everybody prayed for their safety and eventual return. … The Etherium… inside the royal council hall. A meeting of the highest importance was currently being held. In this meeting, every council member was present. Along with them, there were seven extra seats which were located at the highest point in the entire hall. Seated upon these esteemed chairs w

    Final Chapter

    Arran was sucked away into the void fissure which closed immediately after, but not before Poltergeist had managed to latch onto his thigh for whatever reason. Seeing Poltergeist clinging onto him, Arran was confused before suddenly developing the urge to retort vehemently. But he wouldn’t have that time for things were just starting to go very wrong. The space within the void fissure was just that… a literal void where nothing existed but the vast expanse of space. But the stability of this void was seriously compromised allowing for multiple fractures in space and time to open up in the surrounding void. Due to the force of the vacuum that pulled arran and Poltergeist into the void fissure, the two of them were barreling through this space uncontrollably without the ability to stabilize themselves. Arran was too weak at the moment after having all his strength drained from him while releasing the Earth’s World Will. As for Poltergeist, she was also weakened. This was because she

    World Will

    The awakening of the world's will of earth was not something Arran had ever expected much less that its awakening would have to do with him. It was then that Arran realized the cause of everything. In Arran’s hand, Soran lay there quietly, no longer trembling as before as if it had gone to slumber. But when Arran thought of how everything that just happened was all because of it, Arran was shocked beyond belief. Arran thought that he already understood what Soran was capable of yet only now did he know that he was yet to scratch the surface of all of Soran’s capabilities. Soran’s ability, Triumph, granted Arran the means to win. Before Arran thought it only made it so that he could meet his enemies power blow for blow regardless of the difference in the realm. But what if there was a situation where Arran was up against an opponent whose gap in the realm was impossible to cross logically? For instance, how would Soran ensure Arran’s victory if he was up against a god as a mere mort

    Soran left Arran’s hand, trembling powerfully in the air and creating a buzz of vibrations that spread into the surroundings. Arran was shocked by this not expecting it at all. Just as Arran was about to reach out to Soran to grab him, he suddenly paused as a feeling overcame him. Something was calling out to arran. Even more surprised, Arran looked around swiftly but he couldn’t find anybody around him. Then he thought of something and turned back to look at Soran who continued to tremble in the air. Indeed, just as Arran thought, as he focused on Soran, that call rose in his heart once again. It was as if something was reaching out to him through Soran from a mysterious place. Arran didn’t know who this person was but he knew what they wanted… to be freed. Arran didn’t give it much thought at all — there wasn’t anything to think about. The situation right was already dire. In releasing this person, what was the worst that could happen? Inwardly, Arran tried speaking to the ent

    Full Awakening… The Spark of the Universe’s Origin 2

    With the eyes of the old face half open, everything took a drastic turn for the worse for Arran and his group. Everybody else had lost consciousness except for arran who retained only a bit of consciousness in this situation… and one other person. With the opening of the old man’s eyes, the defense line was broken not only on Arran’s front but also on that of the Earth. The barrier of distorted space-time surrounding Earth after its barrier shattered was also broken through. Apart from Eris and Charmy, it was this barrier that prevented the blood sea from approaching Earth. But now that it was broken nothing was stopping it anymore. The polluted blood sea was free to advance on Earth. But the Aeth and the others could also now approach the planet. Having lost consciousness, all of them were free falling into the earth at this moment. They were unable to control their descent and were hurtling toward Earth at an incredible speed. At this height, falling with such a speed was enou

    Full Awakening… The Spark Of The Universe’s Origin

    Kasack vanished from the battlefield, scooped away into the safety of the dark star planet causing Arran to miss his chance at finally ending this threat once and for all. Arran was frustrated not knowing when he might ever have another chance like this again. But he didn’t wallow in his frustration for long. In no time arran calmed down and analyzed the situation. While it was a pity that he couldn’t kill Kasack, arran realized the urgency of the situation. Whatever Kasack did before his disappearance, it was bad… very bad. Looking at the visage on the surface of the dark star planet, Arran’s mind was met with a deluge of corrupting thoughts that tried to erode his mind. Even his resistance granted by his reality gate against mental pollution was not able to stop this corruption forcing arran to turn away from the planet. Yet even then, a chilling and slimy feeling lingered in Arran’s mind as his consciousness was continually under attack. Only with the combination of the World E

    Final Death Throes 2

    In his madness, Kasack did something drastic. He completely unleashed the power of the old one sealed within the dark star planet. Lying within the core of the dark star planet was the old ones' power. This power was meant to be given to his chosen champion as a means to fight the Aeth civilization. It was the strongest legacy left behind by the old one which could not be inherited directly. This power was only meant to be used at the critical time of the conflict with the Aeth civilization. It was Kasack’s greatest trump card one that he was reluctant to ever use. Yet at this moment, In the face of death, Kasack unleashed this power knowing full well the repercussions of his action. Moan! Following Kasack’s mad ravings, a loud wailing moan echoed throughout the surroundings sounding like an old machine shutting down or large gears slowly going still. In the chaos of the battlefield, this sound was so conspicuous that it forced everyone to notice it. Gradually, the fighting stopp

    Final Death Throes

    Kasack was sent flying after being hit by Arran. His chest was sunken and bloodied from the barrage of staff thrusts delivered to him and a mouth full of blood burst from Kasack’s mouth. Kasack was severely damaged, his injuries extremely grevious. But the most severe blow done to Kasack was the blow to his mind and ego. Despite everything, despite all the preparations and plans he had made, Kasack still hadn’t succeeded in killing Arran, yet it was he who was left battered and on the brink of death once again. This thought, Kasack could not bear it. His previous shame which he had hidden beneath a well of anger and rage resurfaced once more, bursting onto the surface like an erupting volcano. Aaaahhhhhh! Kasack didn’t know who was screaming so desperately. In his daze, he heard a voice filled with fury and indignation. His mind was foggy from the impact of Arran’s blows and the bruise on his pride and ego. When the fog finally cleared a little, that is when Kasack realized that
