Alex dodged to the side and reloaded his gun. He kicked up dust and jumped of a nearby wall sending a kick. It was swiftly evaded, but the hood was taken off.Beautiful Red hair that extended until her elbows tied into a ponytail. Her Pure Black irises with red lines forming a circle near her pupils as if it was a solar eclipse. It's enchanting beauty drew in both of them who stared directly at it. She was wearing a voice modulator mask that covered half of her face.Alex grinned as soon as he saw her hair. "Heh, a survivor... Now that's a surprise." However the red haired girl was silent. She spun her blade as she took off the voice modulator. Her beautiful face like a doll that looks like it would break if you touch it. Wearing an Expression colder than ice that would send chills down your very soul.A faint scar ran across her left cheek but it didn't ruin her Oriental beauty in the slightest. She looked towards Nex and nodded slightly. Nex on the other hand was dazed those eyes we

Alexei "Rook" Wozniak
Beneath the rubble Alex came to because of the annoying sound his armor was emitting. He pushed the debris aside and looked up. He found out that he was almost buried alive if it wasn't for the barrier.>>A mechanical voice kept repeating it as an annoying beeping noise accompanied it. He looked around and saw that all his men were either dead or close to. After a few minutes of waiting the rubble was cleared and several Magitech soldiers helped him get out. They stared at their comrades and shook their heads. One by one they aimed their guns and gave them a swift end."Reporting Sir! They escaped and on their way to earth." An elite saluted Alex as he recounted the losses and the time that has passed."Get me a ship."Alex only uttered a few words as he looked towards him. The soldier wanted to stop him and said, "But sir, your suit...""GET. ME. A. SHIP. AND FUCKING C

Entering Earth's Atmosphere
Nex and her crew on the other hand were trying to shake off the Ghosts that were tailing them. Nex has already changed and freshened up, surprising Nick as he was frantically Manning the guns."I'm surprised you found the time to take a shower even though we're getting shot at!" He said angrily. Nex however shrugged her shoulders, "Do you really expect me to concentrate when I'm covered in fucking blood?" She said as she stared at her bullet wound that was slightly healing faster than any normal being.Nick laughed sarcastically and narrowed his eyes as he replied, "Every single thing you've done as a captain is a goddamn mess and a half. I've been wondering since the first time we've met till the time I heard you had a plan...." He cut himself off to take in a deep breath."ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND!? ALL WE'VE DONE IS GET PUNCHED, KICKED AND SHOT AT!" He bellowed as he fired off a series of shots towards the ones chasing them.Nex was quiet. She sighed and said in a very tiny

Graveyard of Forgotten Souls
Nex looked around and sniffed the air, "The air feels fresh, unlike back home. The gravity feels a little light too." She said as she dashed and jumped from point to point." Nick in the other hand promoted Nex to move, "We need to go! They'll probably search the area soon if not now." Nex followed after Nick as he dashed towards a worn building that had overgrowth all over it. She looked at the ruined buildings and muttered softly, "It smells weird. Not in a bad way, but it smells like an old book that was left for so long." Nick chuckled, "Well your not wrong. This place does feel like an old unopened book. No one knows of its existence, no one left to read it's stories. Making it obsolete, leaving it to rot. A story that could but never was..."Nex stared at Nick in complete silence, surprised by his sudden words. "Well I'll be, never took you to be quite the poet." He chuckled softly as he traced his fingers on the walls. It's paint long have faded in time, covered in dust. He rubb

The Chess pieces are in place.
Beneath all the Rubble and the sounds of machines that clash with metal. Excavators claw at the earth trying to dig around a huge derelict black ship. It's sharp edges gave the workers a hard time uprooting it, it's red like windows gave an occasional glow making them squint. The cold desert night made it even worse, their exhausted bodies frantically try to finish their task and make an opening through the temple. The smell of the desert and their sweat from working hours on end clashed, Making the entire atmosphere even more unbearable.One of the workers raised his eyebrows as it stared at the ship. "What do you think that is?" He asked the man nearby. The man removed his safety helmet and wiped the sweat off his face as he shrugged his shoulders. "Whatever this this is, it's bad news I tell ya. If it looks like a Gul'ak Crab it ain't safe." He said as he turned off his engines to tell the others to take a quick break."Man Here I am starving out of my wits and you just had to ment

Night of the Living Dead (I)
The mysterious shadow entered it's interior, after a few twist and turns it finally entered a large sealed room. The shadow like tentacles prodded around until it reached a few buttons and switches. Pulling the switches down pressing on the buttons in an orderly manner, as if he already knew what to do. He made the entire room turn on its lights. Next to the switches were hundreds of rows of huge cylindrical vats filled with large Humanoid insects. They appeared to be suspended in time as they were submerged in an acid like substance.Suddenly one of them twitched, soon it was followed by most of them. Their compound eyes glowed with a menacing red light. They kept smashing their glass tubes with their heads, Some died in the process. However soon enough the glasses shattered and they were freed from their confines. The pungent smell of acid being released woke them up from their daze.Too weak to stand up, they started crawling towards one another. After a few screams of agony they s

Night of the Living Dead (II)
Alex ran behind his men seemingly afraid of their new opposition. He clicked his tongue as he stared at his dead men. In anger he raised his voice and ordered his men to bring in the big guns. They shot at the Para-Nectas occasionally missing because their arms were shaking slightly.Opposite to Magitech's plight, the man wearing the wolf mask stood in front of the sylphid ship ignoring the commotion his two companions followed behind him closely. Two Hulking Para-Nectas appeared behind them as they screeched loudly swiping at the masked man. Their claws passed him by as if nothing happened, it went through without a resistance. The two insectoids tilted their heads as they stared at their claws.Suddenly the entire image of the masked man flickered once more. Revealing that it was just a hologram. He appeared behind them he lowered his stance preparing to strike. He drew his blade and slashed twice before sheathing his blade. In a mere instant the two Para-Nectas were bisected, and a

The Temple of Ars Nova
Aurora snapped her fingers and small orbs that emitted flames, lit up the dank cave. It rotated around the three of them. "You haven't told me how you're alive. That was a hydrogen bomb and according to reports you were dead center in the explosion." Sjor'kai said as he observed the orbs slightly impressed.Aurora stared straight into his eyes as if expecting something, "If... and only if we told you. Would you join Ragnarök once more?" Her cold green eyes reflected the flames that gave life to the dark cave. Sjor'kai was the first to break eye contact and looked towards the dark wooden entrance littered with fading rustic paint, Too fragile from the touch of time."No... I don't think I could anymore." He said with a tone that's filled with mockery. Whether it's to himself or Ragnarök, maybe even both it didn't matter at that moment. Aurora then looked towards the ground clenching her fist. "Then what are you going to do with that information? For closure? Don't make me fucking laug

The Temple of Ars Nova II
Nick coughed loudly and spat the mouthful of dirt in his mouth, "Fuck! This is what I get for even trying to help." Nex chuckled at his predicament. Not noticing the leg sweep the Alpha Para-Necta that was approaching her.The masked man disappeared from his original position. His legs and blade glowed blue as he parried the strike towards the side. Nex saw this and opened her eyes wide. She stared at his back, at Ragnarök's symbol. With conflicting emotions.She sighed and reloaded her guns casually, "Thanks you saved me." She said as she tried to get a read on the masked man, To see if she was right, But the longer she stared something felt wrong. An uncomfortable feeling rose inside her heart. A Strange dissonance from what she's seeing and feeling. She tried to reach for the mask, but her hands just passed through him. He was back in his original position. He dashed once more to sweep on the Para-Necta's leg. It fell with a loud thud.She clicked her tongue as she stared at the ma

If fated we will meet again...
Aurora went near the altar and observed it from top to bottom. Nick stared at the three statues as he put his hand on his waist. He scratched his chin as he narrowed his eyes. "Don't you guys get like there is this Temple of Doom-ish kind of vibe? Like from this statues." He said as he poked the sword lodged on the statues. Everyone looked at him as if he was an idiot. Nex raised her eyebrows, "Temple of what?""You know from that movie. Well it's an old-" He stopped Midway noticing that no one here gave a damn. "Nevermind..." He said as he sighed. Nex went near him and patted his shoulders and gave him a smile filled with mockery.Nick however ignored all the mockery and kept fiddling with the swords. After a while he leaned his arm on the large sword handle pushing it down and a large click was heard. A loud rumble was heard from a distance. Nick immediately felt cold sweat start to appear behind his back. He smiled wryly towards the others glaring at him.But soon a door opened. Ni
