"Tecro, but how is this possible?" he murmured, pointing at one of the people present. "Call your office. Tell them they’ve tampered with the image and placed people who aren’t responsible for this horrendous event."The agent nodded and quickly dialed from his phone. The scene was absolute chaos. Agent Mina arrived on-site with two other colleagues, but what they found was devastating: all the vehicles from their unit were destroyed, some riddled with bullet holes; the agents in the front had lost their lives, and those in the back were critically injured."Call an ambulance," Mina ordered urgently, and one of her companions immediately contacted emergency services.Following the trail of destruction left by Paul and Vera, they reached the car where Carlo had been traveling. The vehicle was completely wrecked, engulfed in fierce flames."Use the car’s fire extinguisher, and you, call the firefighters as well," Mina instructed firmly, delegating tasks among her team.Once the flames w

Adrian Walls listened as a familiar voice said, "How are you, old friend?" Eduard indicated with a barely perceptible smile."Oh, it's you… or half of you, to be precise," Adrian replied, noticing the missing arm of Eduard. The phrase was spoken in a light tone, almost as if he were trying to downplay something they both knew was significant. Standing before him was Adrian, a man of the same age as Eduard, though his appearance set him apart completely. Dressed like a true scientist, he wore an impeccable white coat, metallic gloves covering his hands, and thick glasses that suggested reduced vision. His average height contrasted sharply with Eduard's tall and slender figure."This is a wound from battle," Eduard explained, pointing to the empty space where his arm had once been."I see," Adrian said, adjusting his glasses as he observed with curiosity. "Although your arms always seemed different from human physiology due to your alien genes, I thought they were powerful and perhaps i

The canine lunged at another robot, which was about to electrify the water in the pool where all the recruits were taking refuge. With a swift motion, he struck the robot with his claw attack, prompting it to defend itself. Without wasting a moment, Podbe used his Firehead again, unleashing a burst of blue flames that enveloped the robot and burned through its internal circuits until it was completely deactivated. The kids in the water sighed in relief, happy they hadn’t been electrocuted."The good thing about that attack is that it’s effective. The bad thing is that I can’t use it often; it has already cost me eighty mana," the dog remarked as he caught his breath."Yes, that’s the downside. But since you reached level nine, your stats have been restored," Reia explained calmly."That’s great. Then I’ll go after those two.""Don’t rush it, little dog. Both of them are already heading toward you," the AI warned in a serious tone."Alright, I’ll take them both out at once," the dog de

In a room illuminated by an intense light, a scientist in a white coat and mask covering his entire face could be seen, protecting every inch of his skin. “Hello, Gol,” said Eros Laos as he entered the room carrying Adia’s sculpture.“What do you bring me, partner?” asked Gol, a man whose voice sounded metallic beneath his protective gear. “This,” replied Laos, pointing to the sculpture. “You, who know so many things and gave me access to this technology back in the sixties, when no country had managed to create anything like it. Well, the Russians tried, but they failed,” he added with ironic laughter, recalling old comic books.“Mr. Ras doesn’t want any more failures,” commented Gol as he examined the sculpture. “Besides, we have a patient who seems to come from an era of ancient wars, judging by her attire. She’s young, perhaps between fourteen and fifteen years old. Maybe it’ll work, or it’ll be another loss. We’ve tested soldiers, even eighteen-year-olds, but we always end up with

The day of the first trial arrived. The team of ten Metalux was sent to fight the enemy army. All wore black combat suits and helmets covering their faces to avoid recognition. They carried no flag of any nation, as it was an ultra-secret mission. They were taken to the coast of Korea to rescue a doctor who had created a device capable of deactivating and controlling enemy weapons.The territory was hostile, and the mission was extremely risky. A simple letter carrier arrived at the location with an envelope containing a tarot card. After leaving it in the house, he departed. From it emerged, the ten members of the team, including Adia, were ready to carry out the mission. “Alright, let’s get to work. I want everyone ready,” said Milo, who was the mission leader. “What an arrogant guy,” one of the members commented. “Well, what did you expect from the boss’s son?” added another.“Silence and get to work,” ordered Milo, who had overheard the murmurs. “We’re entering enemy territory,” a
