The mysterious shadow entered it's interior, after a few twist and turns it finally entered a large sealed room. The shadow like tentacles prodded around until it reached a few buttons and switches. Pulling the switches down pressing on the buttons in an orderly manner, as if he already knew what to do. He made the entire room turn on its lights. Next to the switches were hundreds of rows of huge cylindrical vats filled with large Humanoid insects. They appeared to be suspended in time as they were submerged in an acid like substance.Suddenly one of them twitched, soon it was followed by most of them. Their compound eyes glowed with a menacing red light. They kept smashing their glass tubes with their heads, Some died in the process. However soon enough the glasses shattered and they were freed from their confines. The pungent smell of acid being released woke them up from their daze.Too weak to stand up, they started crawling towards one another. After a few screams of agony they s
Alex ran behind his men seemingly afraid of their new opposition. He clicked his tongue as he stared at his dead men. In anger he raised his voice and ordered his men to bring in the big guns. They shot at the Para-Nectas occasionally missing because their arms were shaking slightly.Opposite to Magitech's plight, the man wearing the wolf mask stood in front of the sylphid ship ignoring the commotion his two companions followed behind him closely. Two Hulking Para-Nectas appeared behind them as they screeched loudly swiping at the masked man. Their claws passed him by as if nothing happened, it went through without a resistance. The two insectoids tilted their heads as they stared at their claws.Suddenly the entire image of the masked man flickered once more. Revealing that it was just a hologram. He appeared behind them he lowered his stance preparing to strike. He drew his blade and slashed twice before sheathing his blade. In a mere instant the two Para-Nectas were bisected, and a
Aurora snapped her fingers and small orbs that emitted flames, lit up the dank cave. It rotated around the three of them. "You haven't told me how you're alive. That was a hydrogen bomb and according to reports you were dead center in the explosion." Sjor'kai said as he observed the orbs slightly impressed.Aurora stared straight into his eyes as if expecting something, "If... and only if we told you. Would you join Ragnarök once more?" Her cold green eyes reflected the flames that gave life to the dark cave. Sjor'kai was the first to break eye contact and looked towards the dark wooden entrance littered with fading rustic paint, Too fragile from the touch of time."No... I don't think I could anymore." He said with a tone that's filled with mockery. Whether it's to himself or Ragnarök, maybe even both it didn't matter at that moment. Aurora then looked towards the ground clenching her fist. "Then what are you going to do with that information? For closure? Don't make me fucking laug
Nick coughed loudly and spat the mouthful of dirt in his mouth, "Fuck! This is what I get for even trying to help." Nex chuckled at his predicament. Not noticing the leg sweep the Alpha Para-Necta that was approaching her.The masked man disappeared from his original position. His legs and blade glowed blue as he parried the strike towards the side. Nex saw this and opened her eyes wide. She stared at his back, at Ragnarök's symbol. With conflicting emotions.She sighed and reloaded her guns casually, "Thanks you saved me." She said as she tried to get a read on the masked man, To see if she was right, But the longer she stared something felt wrong. An uncomfortable feeling rose inside her heart. A Strange dissonance from what she's seeing and feeling. She tried to reach for the mask, but her hands just passed through him. He was back in his original position. He dashed once more to sweep on the Para-Necta's leg. It fell with a loud thud.She clicked her tongue as she stared at the ma
Aurora went near the altar and observed it from top to bottom. Nick stared at the three statues as he put his hand on his waist. He scratched his chin as he narrowed his eyes. "Don't you guys get like there is this Temple of Doom-ish kind of vibe? Like from this statues." He said as he poked the sword lodged on the statues. Everyone looked at him as if he was an idiot. Nex raised her eyebrows, "Temple of what?""You know from that movie. Well it's an old-" He stopped Midway noticing that no one here gave a damn. "Nevermind..." He said as he sighed. Nex went near him and patted his shoulders and gave him a smile filled with mockery.Nick however ignored all the mockery and kept fiddling with the swords. After a while he leaned his arm on the large sword handle pushing it down and a large click was heard. A loud rumble was heard from a distance. Nick immediately felt cold sweat start to appear behind his back. He smiled wryly towards the others glaring at him.But soon a door opened. Ni
Nex chuckled to herself weakly, "All I wanted was to become stronger. Was that too much to ask?" She said in a soft voice. Nick smiled wryly, "To be strong huh. Yeah, still a kid." He said as he chuckled. Nex frowned, "Fuck! you look as young as me so don't even try!"But as Nick was about to reply the rumbling sounds stopped. He furrowed his brows he stared at the dark narrow passage they went through earlier. A loud crash was heard as the huge Para-Necta dug around the walls to get to the room. Nick ran as fast as he could while assisting Nex. However his speed was affected by the extra person. He caressed his ring a small vial appeared and he threw it towards the right entrance. He threw Nex after the vial exploded with white mist. She struggled to try and reach out to Nick.>He chanted and a large wall made of the materials of the temple popped up underneath separating her from her partner. "Shit! Nick!"He smiled at her as he dodged the Para-Necta's strikes, "Yo
What came out front the narrow hallway, was Alex and his men seemingly exhausted from the previous battle. They were probably chased by those Para-Nectas. Only 8 of them came out of the hallway. They immediately saw Nex leaning in the corner. They aimed their guns at her direction, However Alex quickly stopped them. He gave an amicable smile towards Nex. She spat on the ground and lowered her guns."Miss Nex, What a coincidence. It seems you and Magitech are really fated." He said as he pulled a chair and sat down. He gestured for Nex to do the same. He looked at one of his men carrying a large bag, he pointed towards the table and said, "Let's rest."Nex was glaring at all of them not letting her guard down. He laid out an entire array of canned goods. It's tempting aroma wafted through the air. "Why don't we have a truce, And join us? What do you say Miss Nex?" She narrowed her eyes as she stared at him directly in the eyes. "What are you playing at Alex?"He shrugged his shoulders,
"You know you're the first to kill me in a really long time." Nick's voice echoed in the room. "Given that I got really complacent since it's been so long." His body was soon covered by a white pale fire. He then stood up, his injuries gone. He smiled at his towering opponent, "Well it was good effort at least."His upper clothes were torched by the flames revealing an extremely well built body and large tattoo on the middle of his chest. A circle,It was an image of a black snake eating its own tail. Inside of the circle was an inverted pentagram crimson in color. In every edge of the pentagram lay a red gem pulsating with power. The Alpha Para-Necta lowered it's stance, backing away slightly, as it screeched.He cracked his knuckles and stretched. Every stretch his bones would give a loud crack. "Damn that feels good!" He said as he bobbed up and down. He punched the air a few times. "Because of you my favorite shirt is ruined. Normally I don't want to kill anyone as much as I can."
