We had been inside the Hammerhead for a week, now on our way to the part of Nexus that we would be infiltrating.Currently, we wore Nexus combat uniforms. The standard clothing of most of the citizens from that country. We had already adopted the appearance of Tyranus and Alice, and had been practicing referring to each other by name.Currently, 'Alice' sat beside me."I really can't wait until this is all over, Tyranus. I want you to be Mizik again.." Alice said."I know. Isabella is the woman I love and who I married. I want you to be her again as well, but that will have to wait."Alice nodded and then hugged my arm."I don't like Tyranus, but I can at least remember you're actually my husband. So I'll be Alice as long as you need me to be," she said.What I didn't mind, was the fact that Tyranus was taller than me. He was around 6'5. I was kind of enjoying the view...Just then, the hatch on our door opened and Leiso walked in."Mizik, Isabella, we're approaching the coast," she
The first thing I noticed upon reaching solid ground after teleporting, was how much magical power it actually used.Teleporting myself was one thing, even mildly long distances.But more than one person? I would need to think carefully before trying this again because I felt exhausted for a few minutes after we landed.Alice put her hands on my arm and looked at me. I couldn't see her face due to the mask, but I knew she was worried."Are you okay, Tyranus?" She asked quietly."I'm...fine... Let's just get moving."There weren't any living people around, but we remained invisible and kept our masks on. Once we reached the fence, I reluctantly teleported us a short distance to the other side and we ran into the forest.Alice made sure to restore my strength so that we could escape."What's the plan, now?" Alice asked."Well, we need to get to the capital. So let's go to the nearest city and see if we can get on a plane.""Understood."* * *After that, we spent the next few days trav
Alice and I made our way quickly to the Abyss Engine tower.We reached a wall just past the area where we encountered Kazuma and I teleported us to the other side of it. Then I used the compass to direct us to the power source.Eventually, we came close to a massive tower. I felt the buzzing sensation from before radiating from before and started feeling pain in my head. To be honest, it was hard to maintain focus on the invisibility and any minute, it would likely run out.We decided that the best course of action would be to begin the assault now.The front door was monitored by two stationary guards holding assault rifles. Occasionally, another group of about five or so guards would pass by.Alice placed a barrier around us and the two guards, then I uncloaked with my silenced pistol ready."What the hell!? Who are-"I shot both of them in quick succession. The bullets penetrated their helmets and killed then instantly.My magic ensured that even their voices weren't heard.We dra
I wasn't really sure what I was seeing here.The guy from inside the tank was now radiating a tremendous amount of power... As if he had strength comparable to the other Enforcers.The guards pointed their weapons at him as he stepped forward and unleashed a barrage of bullets.The man smiled and waved his hand.They bounced harmlessly off of his skin"Lots of speed behind bullets. A lot of force. Nothing I can't handle, though. Let's see, here..." He picked up a bullet and flung it at one of the soldiers.As soon as it made contact with him, his head exploded.The other soldiers stared at the man in shock.At the same time..."MIZIK WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OVER THERE!?" Iris shouted in my head."Umm...we found a guy inside the Abyss Engine. He's really powerful apparently.""It feels like...like it's...""ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF! ENFORCER SEAT 3 JALLAH O'BRIEN, USER OF THE ASPECTS OF LIGHTNING AND KINETIC ENERGY! DESIGNATION: THUNDERFIST!" Jallah shouted mightily."ENFORCER JA
The next day after we had rested, we gathered in the meeting room.Everyone was absolutely shocked to see Jallah still alive. Lots of tears were shed by everyone...even Gavin and Carlos. Dante as well.The whole time, Rune didn't let go of Jallah. At one point she looked at me and tapped her head."Need to talk, Rune?""Could you not mention my...less than faithful antics to Jallah...?""I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about. As far as I know, you've always just been a friend to us. Right?""Thank you, Mizik..."After that, Gavin approached us.He...smiled."You two aren't really so bad, after all. You might be otherworlders, but I can overlook that. Just for you two. Thanks...for getting our buddy back. From now on, you can really rely on me for anything. I mean it," Gavin said."Woah! Going soft, Gavin? I kinda like it. It's about time you showed those two some respect!" Michael said with a laugh."Damn, Michael...sometimes I really regret voting you in..." Gavin said an
Once we returned to Ulkanos, we arrived in our home and found Jallah waiting with Rune."Hey, you two! So here's the deal... I want to discuss living arrangements with you," Jallah said."What seems to be the issue?" I asked."Well...this is awkward... See, Rune told me you were staying in the room directly at the top of the stairs. That's sort of where I've lived for a long time... It isn't the real master bedroom, or the largest, but it's the room I've grown very accustomed to. I don't want to impose, but if possible...could I have it back?" Jallah said as he placed his hands together with a smile.He was wearing glasses today and his hair had been cut shorter. I wondered if it was his usual style. Regardless, it was a good question."Well, we've only just arrived here. Even if we took your place, it would be wrong to just keep it from you. Yeah, we can move. Is that okay, Isabella?" I asked.She nodded with a gentle smile."Awesome! Thank you so much! I didn't think you'd have a pr
After a few days of travelling on a ship, we finally arrived at our destination.I say ship, but this thing was absolutely gigantic.The pride and joy of the Ignitian fleet. The Revenant. An 'Aircraft Carrier' that doubled as a destroyer class ship. It held many fighter jets, attack helicopters, and was outfitted with every type of turret weapon.Rail guns, plasma cannons, laser turrets, missile launchers, machine guns... It even had a few nuclear warheads to use in case the arms treaty had been broken.Basically, if it could cause mass destruction and death, it was on this ship. Additionally, there were many other ships surrounding this one. Destroyers, troop and vehicle carriers, other aircraft carriers, and the like.Leiso's military might was truly a sight to behold. As soon as we reached the destination far enough away from the port, I could see just a bit of land in the distance. From what I could tell...Port Davis wasn't just a high volume military port. It was an enormous c
"I hereby name this camp PORT LEISO!" Leiso shouted mightily. Many soldiers roared in excitement.We spent several hours fishing soldiers out of the water and recovering as much of the wreckage as we could. Once that had been taken care of, we moved to the former location of Port Davis.Since there was a massive smoldering crater in the ground that had partially filled with seawater, we decided to camp next to it instead of in it. Leiso spit several times into the hole and stomped the ground next to it at the time.Luckily, the ether particles had already dispersed. There was no toxicity in the air at all. Perfect.Although many of the trees and surrounding areas had been decimated by the shockwave from my spell...Once the base camp was established, Leiso had gathered everyone here to shout about our victory.She brought Isabella up on the hastily thrown together stage to sing and play the violin for everyone to raise morale.The men were greatly entranced by her beauty, voice, and s
