"Fire!"
Ratatatatatatat!~
"It"s coming! It"s coming!"
"Team Bravo needs more back up!"
"Hostile creatures coming at 8"oclock! Shoot to kill!"
Babababababa!~
"aaagggk!"
"No...what are these creatures?"
"Guns don"t work! Retreat! I repeat retreat!"
"They got steve! Help steve! Aggh! Help me!"
Kaboooom!~
The world"s defense force was taken aback at the sudden appearance of the Shadows. The swirling realm hole continued to expand while more Shadow-Elemental Hybrids are falling from the sky.
"Kuekuekuek!~ Finally! Humans! Human meats! The most delicious one!"
"Look at that crowd! That is mine!"
"Move away! Those are mine!"
KHIIAAAAHK!-
KHIIAAAAAAHK!~
While the humans were trying their best to escape, the hybrid Shadows immediately went on a full rampage, stuffing humans with every dive while crus.h.i.+ng anything that stands in its way.
KabooooM!~
The Emperor was smart enough to make the situation more favorable in their end. He sent powerful hybrid Shadows to sabotage the city"s source of power supply, which resulted in the unexpected darkness.
As a result, the hybrid Shadows became even more aggressive.
"Aaggghh!"
"Nonononono!~"
With no place to hide, every human that was caught outside was instantly eaten or killed for fun. Those Shadows that had plans already in mind immediately went to action.
Fortunately, the Shadows that have arrived have already blended their bodies with the Elementals. Those normal Shadows that are capable of taking over a human body has not yet given the go signal to come by the Emperor.
Simply speaking, the first wave of Shadow Elementals are sent was just a warmup for the real invasion.
"Have your fill, my children! Eat, go merry, and eat more! This realm is ours! Tonight will be a long one! Whahaha!" beckoned the emperor as he stood atop of the One World Trade Center building, the tallest building in America. He is currently taking a form of
"Freeze!"
"This is security! "
"Put your hands on the air, now! Wait, what the fvck is thaack"
Aggkuuhhg~
AAhuhghu~
It didn"t take long for the security of the said building to notice a weird creature at the rooftop. Unfortunately for them, they were gobbled down before they could even run away.
"The human meat is truly the best. Tender and juicy. Worth a thousand years of wait indeed. kuekuekek~"
The Emperor"s plan was simple, eat the humans and mercilessly kill those who resist! While chewing the security
Then barely two minutes after the Shadow"s arrival, a sudden bright light suddenly exploded from a certain area like a super flash from a ma.s.sive camera.
Ziiip!~Flas.h.!.+ Ziiip!~Flas.h.!.+ Ziiip!~Flas.h.!.+
Agghhk!~
Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+ Ziiip!~Flas.h.!.+
Rooarrghk~
Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+ Ziiip!~Flas.h.!.+ Ziiip!~Flas.h.!.+
Khiaaaghk~
A floating ball that glows brightly like a sun suddenly came out of nowhere. Its ability to fly was due to anti-gravity technology. It is the size of a small car with a Guardian pilot inside, shooting lazer beams along the way that explodes into a blinding flash in contact - a perfect weapon against the Shadows.
"Reporting, these Shadows are capable of withstanding an attack or two. I repeat, they are stronger than antic.i.p.ated!" the Guardian pilot inside relayed to the headquarters.
"Hold on as much as you can. Backups are coming in less than thirty seconds."
"Roger that."
Based on their initial design, the beam weapons are capable of killing a single shadow in one shot. The beam shots are compressed light and wind that don"t just explode into a bright flash but also have a penetrative power stronger than a tank"s armor-piercing sh.e.l.l.
Unfortunately, their enemy was not just a Shadow, rather it was a hybrid of Shadow and Elementals. The added attribute of the Elementals gave them extra ability to survive the powerful a.s.sault of light, especially to those who have taken over an earth elementals.
Their solid body was a perfect counter to the light attribute of the beam shots.
However, thank"s to the beam"s penetrative effect, the Hybrids were still dying one after another although it would take more shots than necessary.
KHIAAAAHK~
SLAAAM!~
Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+ Ziiip!~Flas.h.!.+
KRuuuggh~
There are also some fearless hybrid Shadows that know how to fight back. Though the brightness of the s.h.i.+p itself was interfering with their sight, somewhere able to find ways and get close in an effort to shut down the Guardian.
WHAAM!~
Whooosh~
Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+
The city was in utter chaos. The presence of the glowing ball and its terrifying power was able to suppress the hybrids at a certain level. In response, some hybrids used the buildings as covers while others are enraged and decided to fight back.
While obtaining the elemental bodies, most of them are now capable of wielding their elemental powers. Soon enough, fireb.a.l.l.s, water currents, and solid earth b.a.l.l.s were used to fight against the lone Guardian.
Other hybrids decided to throw anything solid they can grab on. Cars, lamposts, solid doors, and even bricks, as long as its heavy, they relentlessly threw it towards the glowing sphere like a mad man.
Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+ Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+ Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+
"d.a.m.n it! There is no end to them!" The Guardian struggled to keep up against the barrage from the hybrids from all sides.
The rain from the hybrid elementals was not a joke.
WHAAM!~
Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+
CRAa.s.ss.h.!.+~
Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+
BAAAMM!~
WHAAAAM!~
BAAAANG!~
The Glowing ball was made from advanced minerals that boosted terrifying durability and speed. However, it doesn"t mean it is unbreakable.
"Warning! Warning!~ Acc.u.mulated damage is reaching 40%... Damage...39%! Damage 37%!"
The Guardian pilot swiftly maneuvered his s.h.i.+p upward, avoiding the range attacks as much as he can while taking down those hybrid elementals one at a time.
KHIAAAAAH~
"It is running away!"
"Don"t let it escape!"
KHIAAAAAH!~
Quickly, the elementals chased after the guardian using the building walls like a gecko while spouting their elemental attacks furiously.
Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+
Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+
Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+
"Where do you think you are going!?"
The Guardian pilot suddenly felt his hair stood up at the sound from the figure above.
"Above!"
~
"Warning! Warning! Powerful hostile being detected!-" the s.h.i.+p"s computer system tried to warn the pilot but it was already too late.
"And down you go!"
SLAAAAAM!~
The glowing sphere was planted on the concrete road as if it was. .h.i.t by a solid hammer. Standing atop it is the Emperor of the Dark Realm wearing a smug look.
Its three red eyes looked down at the eyes of the Guardian pilot with a condescending gaze while the octopus-like wings wiggled on the background like a happy cat"s tail.
"I really wonder how does the Guardian meat taste. Could it be at a premium quality?" s...o...b..red the Emperor.
The Guardian pilot struggled to open his eyes. Bluish blood started to bleed out of his nose and head due to the powerful impact of his crash landing. The angry hybrids maintained their distance, not daring to come close and interrupt the Emperor"s fun.
After all, there is a saying in the Dark realm, that they would rather kill themselves than offending the Emperor.
The glowing sphere the Guardian was piloting is now currently unresponsive. Even the bright light it possessed a while ago is gone and his s.h.i.+p is now nothing but a dented mess of blue metals and sparking devices on the verge of explosion.
His eyes revealed a terrified look as the long dark arms of the Emperor suddenly reached in to pull him out of his junked capsule. The Emperor"s mouth was drooling in excitement as he slowly lowered down his hand.
"Interesting..."
But just when the latter"s hand was about to touch the pilot, the Emperor"s hand suddenly stopped midway as the bright octopus-like wings swiftly wrapped his entire body.
Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+ Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+ Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+ Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+
BOOOOMM~
BOOOOM!~
BOOOOOM!~
At point-blank range, ten other glowing spheres suddenly revealed themselves while firing a relentless a.s.sault to the Emperor.
The sheer repulsive force of their weapon immediately sent the Emperor cras.h.i.+ng on the wall.
"Don"t stop! Keep shooting! Number One-o-six, secure One-three-five and back out!" the captain of the newly arrived Guardians commanded as they continued their barrage against the Emperor.
The combined brightness of ten glowing spheres brought along a tremendous light to the city. As if a tiny sun is being born in the middle of the street. As a result, the hybrid Elementals where not able to take it and decided to back away.
As much as the Guardians wanted to deal with the hybrids, taking down the Emperor is the utmost priority. Thus, they made sure to destroy the latter as fast as they could.
Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+ Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+ Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+ Ziiiip!~Flas.h.!.+
BOOOOMM~
BOOOOM!~
Due to the Guardian"s relentless attack, the tightly wrapped Emperor was like a ball of light being pushed over by ten Guardians using their relentless barrage of light.
It didn"t take long, for the energy bars of their weapon to finally deplete and they immediately backed away in a defensive formation while activating stealth, causing the utter darkness to return instantly.
At the moment, the only source of light is the overwhelmingly hot orange-colored ball planted in the middle of the melting concrete road.
While their s.h.i.+p are charging for another round, the Guardian pilots gazed at the hot ball with an anxious look.
At the same time, everyone was sending a live video and data feed to the headquarters. The second Elder Guardian together with the representatives of the various races watched the whole event with an anxious gaze.
Right now, on the giant monitor, they could see the hot glowing ball that is the Emperor of the Dark Realm.
They were hoping for the latter to be destroyed right away.
Kue.kue.kueh~
Suddenly, the hot orange ball split like an orange peel, slowly revealing the unharmed dark figure inside. It"s three red eyes glowed menacingly as a creepy crescent smile followed.
"My turn."
The next thing everyone knew, the screen was swallowed by a humungous dark mouth of the Emperor.
