“We are surrounded, and trapped!”
This was the only thought that was in the terrorists’ minds after a series of events that transpired as soon as the wall was withdrawn back.
They had the advantage before, they had the advantage of stronger experts in the form of their Commanders and numbers too. They were winning, which only should have been strengthened after the wall withdrew.
But no, it seemed that the wall withdrawing was a curse rather than a blessing to them in this case.
As soon as Clark shot the flare into the air, an enormous energy shield in a dome shape that covered the whole city rose from the ground. Its size alone was intimidating.
Seeing such a big shield rising up was intimidating, but it was far less intimidating than if it was a weapon that was that big.
As soon as it finished covering the whole city, the terrorists were surprised to observe something. The shield was not protecting the city from them but was actually
Thanks for reading, I really appreciate it.
Boom!The both of them ducked clumsily, falling pathetically as the vibrating shockwave of the explosion rocked the earth and swept them from their feet like a groom carrying his bride.The description felt romantic, but both commissioners were currently in a pinch that left them feeling tense and worried.Commissioner Terry turned to face his more resolute counterpart. “Are you sure that we made the right decision? Things seem not to be going according to plan”.“Hmph!” Commissioner Craig snorted. “No matter what tricks he decides to play, Captain Clark will still die today. I know the terrorist Commander; I have seen him fight before”.“Don’t worry, the things that he’s killed, I’m not sure our Captain has half of their strength. He’s just a meat before the butcher in front of the Commander”.“He’s just a new 3rd rank high-grade soldier, there’s no wa
Fire! Burning hot fire; this was what filled the region of the battle where King and Dickson reigned supreme as the absolute overlords. Both were already in their game, and they were absolutely killing it. Since their debut into the battle, they just kept on wreaking disaster everywhere with no care of the world. King didn’t know why he felt like this, but this was already seeming to be his most exciting battle to date. Perhaps, it was because he just fought for himself and his insatiable desire to obtain more bomb samples before. But now, fighting with the knowledge that the fate of a whole city was resting on his shoulders brought him a strange feeling that he was not familiar with. He felt heroic for the first time; what a nice feeling it was! “Burn!” Boom! Boom! His huge custom-made bomb launcher kept on shooting the mischievous little things out as they ravaged the battlefield without any feeling of remorse, it was
Bzzz!“Hello, Mr. King?”“Not this again”. King grumbled as soon as he heard this. “I told you to call me Captain like the others, I grew up in a relatively lawless region does not mean that I’m not qualified to be a Captain too”.“Ok, sir…”“Say, Captain!”“Ok, Captain. Please, I want to inform you that you’re needed to help hinder the activities of a key terrorist at bay”.“That female Commander?”“Yes”.Even as he talked through his special communication device with Corporal Damn who was the overall coordinator of the Vatican soldiers in this battle, King was still doing his dark work.Boom!Corporal Damn on the other end kept quiet to allow the loud booming sound to subside. From his location at the back of the formation of soldiers, he could see who he was speaking with at the distance.At
In an enclosed room underground, 3 old men sat on chairs as they watched the ongoing battle with rapt attention under the supervision of a lady clothed in red from head to toe. Seeing the rapt attention on the 3 Commissioner’ faces, Emily clicked her tongue playfully. Clark didn’t allow her to enter the battlefield, but he gave her another work which was to detain the Commissioners in the case that they were really traitors of the city. Head Commissioner Patrick sighed. “Craig was too hot-headed and self-confident, what an ending it would be”. Seeing the hidden cards that were dropped repeatedly on the battlefield since they found the traitors, they finally confirmed that Clark actually didn’t trust any of them from the onset. Only the superficial parts of his battle plan were exposed to them. The rest, he kept them tightly to himself, hidden from them and now they were experiencing the shock as the reinforcement unveiled themselves on
Seeing the joy and happiness emanating from the soldiers surrounding him, Clark could not help but let himself drown in this feeling. This was a feeling that he loved; that feeling of victory, he never got tired of it.Despite not being citizens of Vatican City, seeing the result of their efforts before their face, King, Josh, Captain Briggs, and all the invited reinforcements felt a proud feeling well inside their hearts.It all started as a dream, but now this dream was finally fulfilled.When Clark originally told them about his plan to purge the Persian tigers organization from his city, they originally scoffed at him that it was an unrealistic ambition, but here they were.It felt just like a dream to them, having the opportunity to battle against an old freak like the terrorist Commander only added more solemnity to it in Captain Briggs and Josh’s dictionary.They felt proud; what an endeavor! What a victory! What a battle!As th
It was only for one day and some hours, but Mr. Trump felt that it was years already. He felt happy, just like the way his wife and 2 kids, Dandelion and Prince were happy too. After what felt like forever, the lockdown was finally over and they survived. Seeing the happy faces of the people all around him who took shelter in the same underground bunker as him and his family, his smile became broader, almost reaching the ends of his mouth. During the night, they could not sleep as they were tense throughout, watching the projection that was showing the struggle of the previous night. Knowing that their soldiers forfeited sleep just to fight on their behalf, they felt too ashamed to sleep. In the end, they took it upon themselves to cheer them on. It was superstitious, but they believed that their cheers helped. During the early hours of the morning after the night raid ended, they finally had time to themselves to sleep and rest. Due t
“On the 1st of September, 2178, the greatest event in the history of Vatican City happened. The event that would always be remembered by Vatican citizens for the next generations- The Day of Purging”.“The Day of Purging; as compiled by the Vatican library historians”.“Legends always spoke of geniuses that arise when nations need them the most; myths seldom spoke of superhero gods who arose at the time when their Empire needed them the most”.“These geniuses and superhero gods were always portrayed to stand up in the time of danger to face the danger with a calm face of conviction while letting their Empire see their firm backs only”.“They brave through trials, temptations, and tribulations just to make sure that their Empire and future generations experience that thorough sense of peace that we’ve always craved since the 1st era of humanity”.“Sometimes, they even die&hellip
It was a week already since the great purge, it didn’t exactly need a lot of getting used to for the Vatican City citizens to forget the feeling of living with the fear of terrorists. Despite this, they still needed a lot of getting used to, to adapt to the current state of the city after the aftermaths of the battle. The city was facing a new era of new trends and new inclinations, the citizens needed to adapt fast and follow the changes least they get left behind in the past. Despite the astronomical cost of the destruction wrath by the effects of the battle, Vatican City was shunning out money to repair at the pace of a machine gun like it was not affected the slightest bit. Citizens that were left homeless because of the battle were provided with temporary homes by the government where they got all the necessary provisions that would take them through their daily needs. After providing temporary homes for the stranded citizens, the city di
6 months ago, the sky turned red which according to world leaders signified the start of the war that would decide the fate of humanity.2 months prior, the news was finally publicized, spreading worldwide panic but with all the most powerful world leaders working together, the panic was easily curbed and order was restored.According to the government, humanity was not hopeless, they had heroes in the form of their soldiers and elite soldiers.Not only that, humanity had a superhero, the great Elite Commander Clark Pendragon. After the special training started, a fuse seemed to have been switched on as the Spartan soldier experienced a period of rapid growth.With veteran Elite Commanders around to guide him and with every resource he needed available, he encountered no bottlenecks, he improved at a superhuman speed never recorded since the human race was born.In just 4 months, he broke through 2 times, going all the way to the Elite-grade rank.
A month later, in the Gen. Clark Pendragon Mansion.At the big balcony attached to the mansion, Clark stood, looking out into the distance as a lot of things went through his mind. The past one month has been the best in his life, and he was grateful for it.Despite it being the best in his life, as a 4th rank high-grade soldier now, his intuition told him that something was happening.As a high-grade soldier and mercenary, things happened everyday around him but he knew that this was not the normal happenings, his intuition told him that this was far higher than anything that he has encountered before.And after making connections from the recent happenings, from his famous marriage ceremony, to the big 5 jointly broadcasting it, a lot of other things and now the Spartan President personally calling for him, he confirmed his guess.Something big was happening, it was just that no one deemed it right to inform him about it yet. As a man
Vatican City Central Church, General Clark Street. This was the church where the big things were happening for today. Not only people from all over the Spartan republic, even esteemed guests from foreign high-grade countries came to grace this occasion. Today was the day of Vatican City hero’s marriage ceremony. After 22 years as a single, General Clark Pendragon was finally ready to tie the nut with his fiancée. The name of the street where the ceremony was commencing was given and commissioned a few days after Clark became a General. Some of the most esteemed guests attending the marriage ceremony were the legendary President of the Spartan republic, Leonidas, and the armor tycoon, the billionaire Mr. Calibri of the Dakran republic. These 2 people were such powerful and well-known personalities in their own rights that their attendance alone shot the attention being given to the marriage ceremony to the highest point. Not only that,
“Leonidas, you wish to attend?”Hearing that, the Spartan President sighed, exasperated. “If you were not my mentor, I would have probably fired you already. Cough…, sorry for that but I’m really going, what’s the big deal?”“You’re really asking me that right now? Of course, there’s a big deal. Apart from military burials, do you know the last time you have for social gatherings?”“I dunno, probably a decade or 2”.“No…, 4 decades! 4 whole decades! You get that?” The old man emphasized by waving his hands vigorously, showing 4 fingers at the powerful soldier.“Suddenly going to a social event after such a long time staying at home, what do you think will be people’s reaction. They may feel that something is happening, they may even panic”.“And just because he’s a 4th rank high-grade soldier does not change anythin
A day after the reunion with her family, Sonia took permission with her parents before going on the first official date with her boyfriend. It was a date, but they just wanted to spend more time together and close to each other. The few years apart was torment to them, now that they had the opportunity, they wanted to make up for it by all means. At first, staying together left them feeling awkward but they soon got over it and started reliving the feelings of a few years ago. For the destination for their first date, none of them planned for it as they were both individuals who have never interacted with the opposite sex in such fashions before now. As the only daughter of a famous billionaire, other billionaire sons already tried courting her in the past but she simply didn’t find them appealing enough, so she always ignored and avoided them. After just a day of staying with Clark, her brother, and her parents in her childhood home, she now
Among the 3 Pirate Gods in the Sahara, though none of them never publicly claimed the spot as the strongest, the Black Pirate God was the one most recognized by pirates as the strongest. After him was the powerful Red Goddess Pirate, then the Lilac Pirate God. Compared to the first 2, the Lilac Pirate God was on the more glaringly weaker side but he still had the strength to back his title. At this moment, in the Black God Pirate City, a surprising piece of news was being circulated. Pirate Queen Anamel was dead, and Pirate Queen Cobra was secretly a student of the Red Goddess. Not only that, the most shocking piece of news that took the city by storm was that of Pirate Queen Cobra’s intention to leave the Sahara and settle in normal human settlements outside. … “Is this news verified?” A deep voice asked with suppressed anger in an underground room with far better living conditions than most of the others out there in the desert. “Yes
Though they both wanted to just remain in each other’s embrace forever, Clark and Sonia knew that they were still in a pirate city and what it meant. With reluctance, they quickly left the city with Arthur.Even if they tried to cover it up, it was impossible so they didn’t bother. In minutes, the news of Pirate Queen Anamel’s death spread through the pirate city and beyond.For long, Clark has always been worried about his reaction when he finally saw Sonia again but he was surprised when he did. It was like they never separated; it was like they’ve lived through all these years together.15 minutes later, they got sufficiently far away into the desert from the pirate city so they finally had the time to speak things out.Sonia brought out the stolen pistol first, which Clark handed over to Arthur. After this, she finally started detailing her encounters after Clark asked.According to her, after the fierce battle on her fa
While Arthur asked the pirate, Clark already went to work as he closed his eyes to focus. As experienced soldiers, they already put a lot of contingencies in place during their tour around the pirate city.Even if they wanted to catch some fun, it was too unrealistic for them to just keep touring without setting anything in place.With his implant, Clark immediately accessed the hidden cameras that they placed around the city, most especially this bar. It didn’t take him long; he saw a hooded female going out through the bar’s back door.“Found our target”.While muttering to Arthur, Clark already turned to storm out of the bar. Arthur simply knocked the 2 pirates out before storming out also.In seconds, they were out of the bar’s main structure.…A few meters away from the bar, a hooded lady walked through the streets at a leisure pace as she kept a close but alert eye on her surroundings.<
The next day, Clark and Arthur woke up with the intention to remain patient while waiting for their informant to contact them. They didn’t even go into the pirate city, it was too disgusting for them to stay in it. The more Clark felt this way, the more he feared what his girlfriend may have become now. If just a day staying in it could make him this irritated, he just couldn’t imagine what staying here for 4 years could have done. Thinking of this, he felt guilty again. “Why didn’t I come earlier?” Souring his mood with such thoughts, the day moved extremely slowly to him. Perhaps, having noticed his current mood, Arthur didn’t disturb him and opted to go out hunting alone. When he came back, he had a desert antelope with him. Seeing the catch, Clark was left speechless. “Can we finish that?” Arthur wasn’t fazed by his question. “If we can’t finish it today, we’ll just finish it tomorrow or the next. Don’t worry, I have preservation gadgets with me, and besides, your girlfriend
