I tilted my head and narrowed my eyes as the High Orcs came into view. They moved in groups with some kind of monster resembling a hyena strapped with chains and held with restrain. "High Orcs!" Trooper blasted out. They were as big as an SUV vehicle standing vertically, with red skin and huge jaws lined with sharp teeth and a long cananine tooth sticking out. Their clothing were crude from some kind of material that wasn't native to earth, they wielded melee weapons made out of hot light energy— A light saber of some sought. It was evident they had been living under their means in this new terrain now called Ghost Town. The resources left by the fleeing people were running dry and sooner or later I'm sure they would plan another act of conquering more of Sector Z. "Are those mutated hyenas?" I became sure of it once they got close enough. They were indeed hyenas but wey bigger than a normal one and had more killing intent oozing out of them. The High Orcs released their hyena

"In that case..." Trooper said glaring at me, inspecting my physical appearance for any wounds or something of that sought. His gaze met Dr. Grace who was still hunched over Metal Fist, she shock her head. The injury on the heros side was deep, but being a strong hero if her class she could very well suck it out. "Metal Fist... Can you continue?" He asked as he strode to her side and descended with to one knee. "Tch! The dirty High Orc got me good! If I wasn't fast enough, it could have sliced me in half!". Metal Fist blurted out with her teeth gnashing against eachother as she riled in pain. "You did good soldier! We won the battle but the war isn't over yet! You have to get up and keep going". Trooper encouraged. I see why he was chosen to be the strike team leader, he does possess some leadership trait like the one that portrayed itself at the moment— Team Encouragement. Tank, Firebrand and Steel Python were in the background, high fiving and hugging eachother, celebrating th

I originally thought that this strike team would end up meeting a few High Orcs here and there and we'd work as a team until we came up to the boss. But, turns out these High Orcs really seem to understand the concept of overwhelming numbers. After a short while, we finally got past the long double walks of High Orcs and kept walking straight forward towards the direction of the space ship. The aliens followed closely behind like a dark cloak, lumming over our shoulders constantly oozing killing intent. It was a long walk even for me, Ghost Town of Sector Z was a huge place and the space ship was at the epicenter of all the darkness and barrenness. Trooper slowed down his walking speed gradually until he arrived at my side. This act forced Dr. Grace to twitch with intrigue. "E-Class...", he said with a hushed voice. "Yes?"I answered all the while looking ahead. He too didn't turn to make eye contact or glance back at the High Orcs walking closely behind us."How did you unders

To the others, it was as if a golden blur of light zoomed past them with lightning speed.It was quick.Fast.Faster than their eyes could keep up with.I burst forward and grabbed Trooper out of thin air, bringing him back to where the rest of the heroes stood.They all gasped in shock as I arrived with Trooper in my arms like a cradled baby.The breeze I pulled behind me swept over them, stirred by my speed.I carefully laid him on the ground near Dr. Grace Sparks, and she immediately went to work on him, checking to see if he was even still alive.The rest of the heroes stared at me in shock, the Forever Armor gleaming gracefully, as if repelling the bluish light surrounding us.I could feel the Forever Core humming with life in my chest, as though it had been begging to be released this whole time.I had been begging to let it out this whole time.They were all lost for words, staring at me with questions flooding into their minds.How?When?So fast?E-Class?I smiled at them—not

"Shadow Girl!" "Yes, it's Shadow Girl. S-Class, Rank 13, she's here to save us!" The rest of the Strike Team were elated by her presence, I would have never imaged the ISA would send her on a mission like. The moment those words came out if her mouth, the battlefield behind us changed. "Be still..." The shadows paused mide whirl. Chains froze mid rattle. Not even a breeze dared to blow as if the sur felt suspended.She hovered slowly, landing a few feet away from me. Her eyes were still glowing unnaturally violet as she stared at me intensively. Up and down. I could tell, no. I could feel her questions manufacturing in her head like a money printing machine.Too many, but she still remained composed."E-Class Hero Rank 50? Reno Renly..." She said slowly, her eyes taking in my golden presence. "You ditched the mask, I can see your face now. So you're the so called 'Bionic' golden streak that the ISA says took down Gravehowl..." I wasn't surprised she knew that. Most S-Class he
