***********
Calling all squad 6 to the defense line! A sweet female voice resounded over the multiple speakers.
Followed by the charging of armed men and women. Dressed in a sleek black combat suit, Comprising in a group of about 7 in total.
We've received reports of a lv 2 threat beast. Get ready. A bulky man with a deep scar said. Placing a cigarette to his mouth he dipped his hand to his right pocket. Bringing out a silver lighter.
P-permission to speak sir? A young female stuttered with a pale face.
Of course. The man shrugged not condemning her.
This is the third time this week we've been faced with a lv 2 beast. I feel theres a connection to something bigger. She said with hints of fear in her tone. Turning the scared man had an indifferent expression plastered to his face.
Are you scared soldier? He calmly asked making the female gulp.
N-no~ of course not! My duty is to lutharion and it's people. She hastingly spoke standing at attention. Walking towards her the soldiers besides her gave way. All shuddering in sight of this intimidating figure.
You know the rules. Fear means treason and the result is death. He whispered making her body shudder more.
O-of course sir!
Good.. you can be at ease now. Oh! And watch where you point those things. He smiled replacing the dark intimidating expression earlier. Steadily walking back to his previous location.
Am detecting an increase in the static field, approximately 5 meter radius from here. A male soldier with a backpack like device strapped to his back.
Nodding the commander of the group waved his hand. Signalling the group to advance forward.
It's awfully quiet here. An average build male thought staring around. The street they were in was called eddi street. Having fewer buildings with little stalls.
There was no signs of people whatsoever within the vicinity. Almost seemed like it had been deserted for about some months now. But in truth was it had only been evacuated few minutes ago.
Incredible.. the atmospheric pressure is climaxing past a 180 degree. The nerd soldier uttered with a weird smile.
Swoosh! The air suddenly turned sharp making swooshing sounds. With fierce gusts of wind sucking lesser weight objects in front.
It's happening.. a gate's opening. Another female soldier uttered. She had a calm expression unlike the other. Clutching her assault rifle glowing a strange blue color. Her finger hovering just inches from the trigger button.
In front the wind had gathered at a particular spot. Forming a circle enlarging by the second. Various waste materials were caged in it's succulent grip. Along with other unknown elements.
Bam! A loud bang sound went off like a gunshot. With the gathering of blue electricity spiraling in an oval motion. Forming a blue portal reaching about 7 feet high. Releasing sparks of electric current letting out a static hum.
Finally, some action. Another male soldier barely uttered without any emotion whatsoever. Bringing out two swords with a mix of black and deep blue from his back.
S-sir beru.. I don't think it's a good idea to stand too close to the gate. There could be some interference and- the communication expert guy abruptly paused feeling two piercing eyes.
Shaking his head a bit sir beru tilted his head to the side a bit. Waving to some barrels in front with a lewd grin.
...….
What's with the weird grin? Celine inwardly thought staring at the huge screen in front.
She was also wearing a suit and helmet but different from the plain black combat suit. Being red with a touch of black and more intruiging.
She was clearly aware sir beru was aware of the two hidden drones filming them.
Money.. money.. bob muttered like a madman earning an awkward glance from Celine. Shaking her head she ignored bob's delusions of grand fantasies.
Focusing her attention back to the screen, obviously anticipated on the next phase. Like everyone else in the world watching the live broadcast.
.....
It's time. Beru softly muttered tossing the half used cigarette to the floor. His expression turning more serious.
Come on bastard, let's see that ugly face..
In front out from the otherworldly portal came a hideous beast. It looked like a chameleon reaching about 4 feet high.
Having a thick green skin with brown scales running all over it's body. Along ! withsharp claws and a single antenna like object at the center of it's head.
Swoosh! An object cut through the air like a blur heading fast for the tech soldier. But before it reached a shield appeared in front. Stooping the object momentarily.
Bang! A fierce strike hit the shield rattling it a bit. But not enough force to overpower or cause any serious damage.
Swiftly swinging his right hand with the blue axe clutched tightly. It moved with speed and precision meeting it's mark in front.
Screech! A creature yelled finally revealing itself.
Another chameleon, there's two of them? Gyru stuttered adjusting his glasses. He was aware of one chameleon appearing but his system hadn't detected another.
Don't just stand there boy! Beru roared snapping him from his gaze.
These are stealth type beasts, so they lack physical resistance. Gyru said to which they all nodded. Forming a team of two bringing out their individual weapons.
Screech! The two chameleons let out a powerful screech. Their green skin turning translucent to the eyes.
Shit, w-where did it go? Lia stuttered looking about. She was paired with the team of zaya and ray. The two silent of the six soldiers.
Swoosh! The hairs on Lia's arm immediately stood at attention. Indicating there was danger lurking in the shadows. One that she knew so well.
Clang! A loud clang sound resounded as ray blocked the creature's attack with his two swords. Zaya following up by firing off a barrage of blue bullets. Some hitting the beast spot on before it turned inisible again.
I-i can't believe it, I almost died. Lia stuttered with trembling legs. Balls of tears streaming down her cheeks as she fell down.
Hey! Zaya yelled already in front of Lia her fist crashing down to her face. Drawing out some blood from her mouth.
Don't you dare jinx this or I'll kill you myself! She yelled her face a bit red to which Lia nodded.
The beast is nearby I can feel it. Be prepared. She said to which ray nodded the two swords armed in his clutch. Steading her breath she did something strange. Crouching to the ground and placing her ears to the earth.
It's there! She yelled pointing towards the direction of an empty stall. Not hesitating Ray moved fast the suit potruding out hot steam from the double vent. Located at the back of the combat suit.
Charge. He calmly said crossing the swords to his chest. And like a command the swords let out a static hum. Charging with a considerable amount of energy.
Bam! With a powerful swing he slashed both swords forward. Dispelling two blue energy slashes in a straight line.
Bang! The first slash crashed into the wall leaving a mark while the second hit the creature. Causing it to screech in pain, appear in front.
It's mine. Zaya declared already running forward with a blue energy saber materializing in her right hand.
Screech! The creature responded running with it's three remaining legs. Slashing the saber downwards the chameleon was faster dodging to the side. Using it long tail to wrap around zaya.
Bam! She was sent flying into some craters. But she didn't have time to regroup seeing the beast in front.
Rolling she dodged the creature's stomp, severing it's arm with the saber.
Enraged the chameleon tried to sweep zaya off her feet but she'd predicted this. Leaping a bit in the air the saber turning into a whip wrapping around the beast body.
Game over. She smiled lightly pulling the whip dissecting the creature into pieces.
That's a good tactic. Beru inwardly nodded from the sidelines. He had been watching the fight from both sides since the beginning and he couldn't deny he was impressed by both teams.
Hopefully we don't have much casualties today. He sighed with a light smile.
Die! Gyru screamed rapidly pressing the trigger button of a strange spear. With a blue dusk like object in front.
Bang bang bang!
Low bang sounds erupted as the blue energy disks hit the wall.
I-it's too fast, we can't keep up. The male soldier by gyru's right side muttered shooting out energy bullets from his gun.
Beads of sweat dripping down his face as he blasted away. But it was futile as the chameleon beast was faster running up against a building. Cloaking itself invisible.
Swoosh! Something sharp cut through the air. Followed by the soldier's head falling with a thud to the ground. Blood spraying everywhere.
Grk.. it killed him with just one hit. Gyru stuttered with shock staring at the headless comrade.
Swoosh! The same swoosh sound occured with the second soldier by the left falling dead.
Damn it! Am next.. he gulped feeling his life in danger. Thinking of what to do his mind raced fast. Feeling the hairs on his arm stand at attention.
That's it! With a weird grin the tech support ran away screaming in fear.
What's he doing? Was the question on everyone's mind staring at gyru.
Swoosh! The air turned sharp indicating the chameleon was near. Ducking down he plunged the spear like disk upwards. Stabbing the guts of the creature.
Screech! It tried to break free but couldn't. Finally succumbing to the multiple energy disks. Protruding out from it's body.
Good work everyone. Beru applauded with a light smile. Calmly walking towards the group.
I'll give my report based on what I've accessed here today. You all may report back to base now. With a nod of acknowledgement they all proceeded back to the black reinforced van.
I wonder if she's still mad at me. Lia thought glancing at zaya. She knew the latter had a cold personality but they had talked only one. Which was unfortunately today.
I-i did it haha! Take that for a nerd. Gyru excitedly bragged to Ray who ignored him.
Sighs.. I can't believe it's been 2 years now. Zaya muttered staring out the window.
