Back at the settlent Dr Selly has discharged Alex. Mildread and his group took him to show him around.
"So Alex, did you really hide in an underground bunker?
Alex nodded his head. They just walked out of the dical area of the settlent. There was so truth in his statent. He really was away from the matters of the world. Now what was presented before him was the remnants of humanity.
No more was humanity the top of the food chain, dictating the direction of the world. The settlent looked like a small town. Old sky scrapers used for housing refugees. A 30 ter wall surrounding it with soldiers on the lookout. As he was walking, he could feel the atmosphere rich with fear and hopelessness.
Kids weren’t playing around like they were supposed to. No sound of chirping birds. No loud voices of sellers calling custors. The residents themselves had a shifty look in their eyes , as if ready for anything. As he was walking he ca across a building that appeared well kept. No dirt or cracks like other buildings. Everything appeared well maintained.
"How was it down there all alone, I’m surprised how calm you are despite your solitude"
"It felt more like a second if I’m being honest. Most of the ti it felt like I was dead"
Mike felt a cold in his spine when he heard that response. Alex continued to walk forward towards the clean building. If he had to guess by the shape. This was a church.
’I guess when things get hard people tend to look for answers from sothing bigger than them’
"So Alex, what do you think about this place, It might be the smallest settlent out there but I love it here"
"Mindy, You are the only person to have ever said that, Matter of fact you are the only Rich person who left their ga City like settlent to co visit a small settlent"
Mike said with frustration in his voice. It was common knowledge that the bigger the settlent, the better the security and here is soone not only from a rich background but also part of the hierarchy of that settlent but chose to co to a place lacking in security and facility.
Alex didn’t pay mind to them. His attention was currently on the dot he just saw up above the sky, It got bigger and bigger by the mont.
"Hey guys, what is that thing I’m seeing right there?"
Pointing at the sky and everyone else following his hand. The mont their eyes caught sight of what he was pointing at. They panicked....
"Shit, Shit, Shit, Wher the fuck is that connector when you need it"
Mike could get his thoughts straight, His hands rummaging all his pockets. Everyone else reached for their pockets. The mont they took them out Alex was fascinated by them. They appeared crude like those things they call phones in the old world. Alex was used to the eyewear which beca obsolete because of atmospheric interruption created after the seal was broken.
Finally without wasting a second they triple tapped the button on the side followed by a prompt on the screen.
"Ow my God, Yess.... I clicked Yes, sound the damn alarm already"
Frustrated by the extra steps.
"Guys what is going on?"
He can see this is a serious situation they are in...
"No ti to speak co with "
Wheeeeeee!! Wheeeee!!! Wheeee!!!
This is not a drill, civilians go to the nearest safe location. All soldiers take a battle position. I repeat, This is not a drill, Civilians are to head for the nearest safe locations, Soldiers take a battle location.
The place beca a frenzy, the once silent calm small town was chaotic. All the people who were laying down, droopy before were running like mad man. Mothers carrying their children while fathers carrying luggages for them. There were so unfortunate single mothers who had to carry both. While so tried to help them, the rest couldn’t care less, they wanted safety!!
Ring!
Their connectors rang and a ssage ca in.
The portal disrupter will be activated in 20 seconds, All jumpers are advised to jump to their battle location imdiately.
Mildread didn’t waste a mont and opened a portal imdiately.
"Let’s go. Alex, I’ve seen how good you fight. We need your help"
Alex didn’t even take a second to think he just walked right in, The rest followed.
"So guys, how do you know that a dot in the sky ans trouble?"
Alex asked as soon as everyone gathered near the gate. There were other junior jumpers there, waiting for the general.
"Well, we got a report that the fallen had attacked other settlents. And on that report one thing ca over and over again. There was a massive flying creature in the sky serving as a reconnaissance, Soon a horde of monsters ca and launched a coordinated attack.
Since becoming a Jumper, this was the first ti Alex heard that the fallen had beco coordinated. Seeing the shock in Alex’s Mildread continued.
"You aren’t the first to be shocked by this revelation. So it is rumoured that there is a fallen who either gained intelligence and is able to coordinate them or perhaps soone has gained a Mistica capable of controlling the already mindless fallen."
As Alex was listening to Mildread, a portal opened right in front of the jumpers, General Malkov walked out. Another opened a distance away. Brice’s team ca out of it with Marcel being supported by Bruce.
"Jumpers and Soldiers, the day we have been preparing for this week has co. It would appear the enemy has finally made themself visible. I don’t want to give you false hope, so will die. But don’t let that stop you from giving it your best. We are human, we are adaptive, we learn and finally we conquer. Nothing took us down in the past 300 000 years, and nothing will stop us from progressing another thousands of years to co. Let’s get out there and show them what we are made of!!!"
YEAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! YEAAAAAH!!!!
Screams resounded through the heavens as if to call the gods to co down and bear witness the spectacle that is about to unfold.
Not far from the settlent. Thousands of footsteps could be heard rumbling across the forest. Trees breaking, plants dying. High up there a fallen that looked like a dark lizard with wings like a bat. 7 tres tall and wings that span 10 ters each side, rough skin like a crocodile. This was a special type 7 lesser fla sprite.
A nace in aria attacks. It was currently monitoring the situation in the human settlent and reporting everything it watched to its Master. Currently the master was hidden, and watching and communicating through special ntal waves. The Fallen were quite fond of their master. Before he appeared they were nothing but mindless beasts but he shared with them his intelligence which allowed them the ability to think. Though not complex thought but at least they gained so semblance of self.
Gaining the ability to refine their strength. Most importantly, they weren’t controlled by their bestial instinct. Now that they found themselves. They fear returning back to who they were before, which is why they agreed to follow their master even though they might die in the process. It’s better to die who they currently are than a beast.
Soon the settlent ca into view. From a far they could see human figures standing still on the wall. Near tal cylindrical tubes aid right at them. Outside the settlent where Jumpers. Placed there to cut off the enemy before it could get near the gate.
In a cave sowhere, a red skinned man, black hair, holding so kind of fruit. His eyes were closed, in his mind’s eye he could see multiple view points of the monsters.
"Such a rigid and crude strategy won’t help you in any way. Seriously, how can the aboriginal in this dinsion be so simple minded. No matter, ti to harvest so souls"
With that the Demon sent an intent through to the advancing fallen.
RAUWWW!!! GRAUUU!!! gRRRRR!!!
An army of beasts let out growl. Charging fourth without wasting a second.
"Here we go, It’s ti to let loose"
Mike felt his blood rush as he saw a large army beast co running. The human side didn’t wait. They quickly started running towards the enemy.
Bang!
The two opposite sides finally slashing. All kinds of powers were unleashed. Thankfully, the Lesser fla sprite seems to be the only special type around here. The rest rely type 3 to type 6. What was frightening though was their number, which fell into the thousand mark.
"Well, let’s have so fun."
Alex finally understood his power and gained so chaos shadow power. First thing he did was re-equip himself with the shadow outfit. This ti it wasn’t just simple pants and a jacket. He put on a full on coat. Rugged pants and jacket that appeared far firr than the first.
Looking at the oncoming enemy, he couldn’t help but think of the old days.
