  “Stacey, threat levels have begun surging again in Atlas, Xera, and Wintu City! The Hooded Solar bots have mysteriously arrived again! Soldiers are quickly engaged in combat!” reported another male operator.

  …Shit just got real. I like where this is going… thought Stacey, revealing a smirk on her face while slowly licking her lips and putting her left hand on her hip.

  Chapter End

  Chapter 33

  Trapped in Horror

  Luke and his group were now against a mysterious knight wielding a sniper rifle in its hand, who soon revealed it’s bright piercing red eyes towards the group, trying to entice fear towards them, but by the look on their faces, they weren’t intimidated…

  Tatyana and Michael had their backs close to each other, moving their eyes from left to right, locked in a battle against an invisible foe…

  Akira and his group are now against someone possibly up to par with them, a mysterious swordsman who appears to show no hesitance or mercy towards his prey…

  “I’ve got something just for you…!” whispers Luke.

  From behind Luke’s lower back, he reveals two silver uzi guns. Luke quickly grabs hold of them and points them down at the black knight. Luke smirks and presses the trigger, unleashing a rain of bullets towards the black knight.

  The knight stood still as the bullets began to bounce off of the knight’s body like rain against the hood of a car, doing minimal damage.

  “Holy shit, the bullets aren’t doing shit…!” says a shocked Luke.

  “Luke, we got those hooded solar bots coming after us again!” shouted Linda, turning around and pointing her rifle at the hooded solar bots that were coming after the team from afar.

  “Alright. Linda and Caleb, I want the both of you to”-

  “Oh shit, he’s about to fire!” shouted Kim, pointing at the black knight.

  Everyone turns their attention back to the black knight, and the black knight fires off another large black electrical energy ball towards the team. The team looked on in shock to find visible wind quickly forming around this energy ball as if it was creating a twister behind it. The team quickly disperses, barely avoiding the black bullet just in time before it soars towards the large group of hooded solar bots, and collides with them, destroying the lot of them in the process.

  “…Sweet, friendly fire,” says August with a smile, watching the explosion from afar.

  “Luke, you’re the captain here. You need to devise a plan on this black knight as well as the solar bots,” says Kim, looking towards Luke.

  Luke had no response. Luke looked back at the black knight with anger in his eyes, but also appeared to be thinking about something. Seconds after, the black knight quickly fires two more rounds at the group, and once again, the team disperses even farther to avoid being caught in the bullet’s suction twister. Successfully, they evade both powerful shots, which once again crash into solar bots from afar.

  “Man, if we got just a few inches closer we’d be sucked into that thing for sure!” shouted a shocked Caleb.

  “Yeah, the bullets are legit carrying a tornado behind it. The speed of those bullets is crazy fast…!” replies a surprised Linda.

  Kim looks at Luke once more silently and finds that he is deep in thought through that angered face.

  “…Luke, you got something?” asks Kim.

  “…Yes. Yes, I do,” replies Luke, looking at Kim with a serious look, to which Kim soon smirked.

  [Xera City]

  Akira’s group has now begun to attack the mysterious dual swordsman. Kame charges first, swinging his beam sword at the swordsman with impressive skill and speed. However, the dual swordsman smoothly moved back, evading most of Kame’s attacks, as well as blocking Kame’s sword with his own. At the right moment, the swordsman kicks Kame to the stomach hard enough to send Kame flying back. Kame yells in agonizing pain as he is sent quickly crashing into the wall of a building, and now it was Zavius’s turn, who charged at the swordsman faster. Zavius, like Kame, also proved to be the skilled swordsman, giving all he can against the swordsman. However, the swordsman would keep up with Zavius, evading all of his attacks.

  “Too easy!” shouted the swordsman. The swordsman suddenly hops back high into the air, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, the swordsman dashes at Zavius and performs a magnificent dual sword technique, slashing away at Zavius’s armored chest, before kicking Zavius to the stomach, now sending him flying and crashing into the wall of a building. The swordsman quickly turned around, and he was surprised to find Akira and Miku both coming after him in an ambush.

  Akira and Miku perform partner action, trying to attack the swordsman together with impressive team sword techniques, that was keeping the swordsman on his toes, working harder this time to avoid most of their attacks.

  “Miku, back!” shouts Akira.

  Miku glides back as if the road was icy, and Akira goes solo, performing swift sword techniques against the swordsman, and it appeared to be quite the dual.

  Countless times the two rapidly clash their swords, and it was to the point they stood there with their foot on the ground, not moving anything but their swaying arms, with their blades doing all the action. It wasn’t long before Zavius and Kame spring back into action and try to attack the swordsman from behind, but the swordsman smirks, and quickly performs a spinning attack, bringing his swords along for the ride. Akira quickly glides back, and Zavius, as well as Kame, both stop running towards the spinning swordsman.

  The swordsman quickly stops as soon as he obtained free space, and quickly darted his eyes towards Miku, who stood there ready to fight. The swordsman promptly charges towards Miku at unbelievable speed, going past Akira like a ghost. Akira was shocked by how fast the swordsman flew past him and quickly turned to find him going after Miku.

  “Miku!” shouts Akira.

  “It’s OK Akira, I got this!” shouts Miku, clenching the hilt of her sword.

  Miku stood her ground, as the swordsman began wildly swinging his blades at Miku with impressive speed, but Miku kept up, blocking each of his strikes with her sword. Akira and the gang charge after the swordsman like a herd of wild animals, but the swordsman smirked at Miku, to which Miku appeared frightened. His face looked like a demon towards her.

  “Farewell, scum…!” says the swordsman with a sniveling smirk towards the frightened Miku.

  Miku could do nothing in the final seconds but stand in utter fear, and just like that, Akira, and the rest of the group stopped in complete shock to find the swordsman slash Miku across her chest, with Miku letting out a grueling scream.

  “M-Miku…!” says a shocked Akira, reaching his hand out for Miku.

  Miku stood there, as her arms fell, and her beam sword dropped to the floor, motionless. The swordsman next kicks Miku to the stomach hard towards the group, and Akira grabs her just in time in his arms. The group gathers around as Akira lies Miku to the ground, and witnesses a huge slash mark across her armor, with her blood leaking out and sparks flying out. The men had no words but to show shock at their fallen comrade, whose eyes were already fast asleep.

  “Miku…!” says Akira, beginning to tear up, as he slowly put her hand on Miku’s right cheek.

  “…There’s nothing we can do now…she’s gone…” says Zavius.

  “…Dammit!” says an angry Kame, turning his attention to the swordsman.

  “Now that’s more like it…!” says the aggressive swordsman.

  “…I’ll take her somewhere safe…you guys handle him until I get back…” says a saddened Akira, holding on to Miku in his arms, and quickly flying into the sky, leaving Zavius and Kame to fight off against the swordsman once more. Zavius turns around and faces the swordsman before flashing his armor helmet’s eyes at him. The swordsman sends an evil smirk at the two, before the both of them silently charge at him full force for another round…

  [Wintu City/ Warehouse]

  Michael and Tatyana continue jumping far and back, avoi
ding incredible, yet invisible crashes where their foot last touched the ground. They both were on high alert, trying to avoid the invisible threat by all means.

  “Tatyana, we have to devise a plan right now!” shouts Michael.

  “…On my signal, the next time we land, we’re going to punch forward with all our strength. Got it?” orders Tatyana.

  “Yes, ma’am!” replies Michael with a smirk.

  Once again, the two jumped back in unison, soon followed by the invisible force crashing its foot or fist to the ground. As soon as Michael and Tatyana landed away from their foe, Tatyana taps her finger on Michael’s back, and from there, they both nod, as they charge forward and send their fists flying forward, ultimately connecting and smashing against an invisible wall. As soon as their fists are combined with the invisible wall, a loud growl echoes across the warehouse. Moments later, Tatyana and Michael both look up and are shocked at what they see. They both glide back and stand next to each other, witnessing the invisible beast in full form. This menacing beast stood 15 feet tall and appeared very muscular. Having dirt brown skin, bright red eyes, three horns, a long tail, and the face of a snarling wolf. It stood there as it’s saliva seeped through its snarling mouth, gazing at the two with pure anger.

  “That…does not look like a robot,” says a shocked Michael.

  “No shit!” replies a shocked Tatyana, “…Where the hell did such a thing come from?”

  “We’re dealing with aliens from another world. Although I’m shocked at its appearance…at the same time I’m quite fascinated,” replies Michael.

  “Big or not, it’s going down. You ready?” asks Tatyana, tightening her fists.

  “Ready when you are,” replies Michael with a smirk.

  “Stop right there!” says the menacing man.

  Tatyana and Michael again were stopped by the appearance of the man that was taunting them earlier. He appeared in a mist in front of the beast, soon showing himself whole. He stood there with his hands clenched together in a lower position and appeared to have a very slim body, almost like a skeleton. He had on a tuxedo and top hat, with silver skin, and bright red eyes, revealing quite the wicked grin before the fighters.

  “Why hello there, humans. You’ve finally struck the beast,” says the slim man.

  “Just who the fuck are you now?” says an angry Tatyana.

  “Well, I do not act alone,” replies the slim man with a sniveling grin.

  “What…?” says a confused Michael.

  “You see, you’ve interrupted the “Invasorz” process of turning this land into true fruition,” says the slim man, “You humans have made a grave mistake. You will not escape the hell you have now entered.”

  “Oh, is that right?” says Tatyana with a smirk.

  “Oh yes,” replies the slim man, smirking back, “You’ve invaded “our” space, and you’re going to pay for it.”

  Chapter 34

  Tactics

  [Xera City]

  Akira lies Miku’s lifeless body on the top of a skyscraper. Akira stares at her body as tears rolled down his face. He appeared severely hurt by such a joyful and courageous spirit, gone.

  “…Miku…your death won’t be in vain. I will slay him…myself…!” says Akira, now tightening his fists and appearing angry now. Akira looks up and finds the soldiers fighting off the hooded solar bots from afar. A slight wind blows through Akira’s hair, and Akira closes his eyes for a moment and stands there in silence…just before two loud explosions are heard nearby where Akira was standing. Akira’s eyes then slowly open, and in seconds, Akira twists his body and swings his beam sword, clashing blows with the swordsman, attempting an attack on Akira from behind. The two locked eyes in silence, with the swordsman revealing an angry grin, but Akira revealing silent anger. From there, Akira and the swordsman begin flying across the sky and clashing their swords violently at each other at alarming fast speed.

  The swordsman goes to kick Akira, but Akira quickly glides back and successfully kicks the swordsman to the stomach hard, pushing him back. Akira charges forward to strike, but they clash blades once again, before going off into a frenzy, clashing their swords at each other rapidly once more.

  As the two were battling it out, Akira abruptly glides back, stopping their assault, with Zavius charging up from under the swordsman, attempting to strike an uppercut slash, but the swordsman is smart enough to notice, and quickly flies back, making Zavius miss. As the swordsman stops, this time Kame appears, attempting to thrust his sword through the swordsman’s upper back, but with seconds of Kame striking, the swordsman ends up turning and kicking the beam sword away and attempts to land another swift kick towards Kame’s head, but he easily blocks it by putting up his right forearm, before flying past the swordsman like a dart. The swordsman then floats there in the sky, letting out a chuckle, and turning around, finding the three men regrouped together, with Akira in the middle.

  “…Heh, it appears I haven’t even introduced myself to you 3,” says the swordsman, “You 3 earned the right. The name is simply, Ginzo, of the Invasorz…”

  …Invasorz… thought Akira.

  “Now that that’s out of the way, including your weakest link, we can get this party started…!” says Ginzo, tilting his head to the right with a menacing grin on his face.

  “…Guys…do not let Miku down…!” says an angry Akira.

  “I heard ya’…!” replies an angry Kame.

  “…Let us fight, Ginzo…!” says an angry Zavius.

  “Yes, let us!” shouts Ginzo, charging at the three swordsmen full blast.

  [Atlas City]

  “Alright! Let’s go!” shouts Luke.

  Luke and his team spread out and surrounded the black knight from afar, now beginning to fire energy beam waves at the black knight simultaneously, engulfing it into a large blue ball of light, soon resulting in a fiery explosion. The team stops their fire and look on at the large puff of black smoke in silence.

  “I hope we got the fucker…” says August.

  “…. Shit…!” says a shocked, yet angry Luke.

  Seconds after, five bullets from the Knight shoots out of the black puff of smoke, charging for the team. They all appear shocked to find the tornado bullet coming for them, but mordaciously, they all were fast enough to get out of the way just in time, before the bullets ended up crashing and exploding higher into the sky, or even demolishing buildings from afar.

  “Holy shit…! Those bullets knocked a lot of buildings down!” says a shocked Linda.

  “Who cares, this is OUR land, not theirs…!” replies August.

  The black smoke finally fades out, revealing the Knight looking alive and well. The Knight floats up and is surrounded by the team, who have their rifles pointed at it.

  “…I, Kizo, the Sniper Knight of the Invasorz, tell you, five brave humans, now…you have no chance of survival,” Says the deep, male voice of Kizo.

  “I’ve got to find a weak spot for this guy…! Our energy beam attacks did nothing…!” thought Luke, “We’re bound to die if we can’t stop him…damn, if only Victoria were here. She has the big guns for this guy…!”

  “…So, Luke, what’s next?” asks Kim.

  “…Fire again!” shouts Luke, ready to pull the trigger on his beam rifle once more, as Kizo stood there in the middle of it all, ready to take all they had for him…

  [Wintu City/ Warehouse]

  “…Jinzo is your name, huh?” says Tatyana, looking uninterested.

  “Yes, I am indeed Jinzo. I simply, truly, want to have fun with you all,” replies Jinzo, the slim man, “And as fate may have it, I am confronted by brutal fighters. Just what I need. The perfect opportunity, to show my true strength.”

  Jinzo takes a few steps back before he stops and stands next to the beast. Next, Jinzo takes his finger and simply pokes the beast by the arm, and in just a flash, the beast’s body transforms into a small ball of light. This ball of light ends up floating ove
r and going through Jinzo’s chest. Tatyana and Michael look on in suspense, but they soon appear shocked as Jinzo reveals a smirk to them, as a huge steel needle shoots out of his back. No later does the long needle appear on his back, does he charge at the two like a speeding motorcycle, and slams his fist into Tatyana’s face, sending her crashing into a box of crates from afar. Michael was indeed shocked by how fast Jinzo moves, but he wasn’t quick enough to do anything, for as soon as Tatyana gets struck, Michael next gets rocked by Jinzo as he smashes his fist into Michael’s face, sending him crashing through many boxes of crates from afar. Jinzo is now left standing victorious, with Tatyana and Michael laid out, cold.

  “Heh…I hope you two aren’t down too early…” says Jinzo with a smile, opening and closing the same hand that he struck the two soldiers…

  [Dynasty of Spheres H.Q./ Monitor Room]

  “Fuck…! This is not, good,” Thought Stacey, observing visuals of the Invasorz facing off against the soldiers.

  “Stacey, I’m getting a reading of someone near Tower City, and it’s approaching the Calamita Team, fast!” shouts a male operator.

  “…Great,” replies Stacey, shaking her head, “Now we got a war going on…”

  Chapter End

  Chapter 35

  The Invasorz

  “…. So…just who exactly…are the Invasorz…?” says an angry Tatyana, slowly trying to get back to her feet. Jinzo stands there silent and turns his head towards where Tatyana has now stood up. Her left cheek appeared bruised, but it meant nothing to Tatyana, as she now bursts at Jinzo full speed and attempts to throw a powerful punch at Jinzo. However, Jinzo ends up simply tilting his head to the left, making Tatyana miss, and now grabbing Tatyana by the back of the neck, and slamming her to the ground hard, making cracks appear where Jinzo was standing. Tatyana groans in pain as Jinzo puts his right foot on her back.
