Amun's point of view

I started raising my speed to catch up with the three men who were speeding towards a gunfire exchange ahead of us. Since I couldn't stop them even if I wanted to, the only thing I could do was follow them. Although I am lagging behind them because being short comes with short legs that can't keep up with tall me who have tall legs, the other one behind them and in front of me definitely was Raco, who is a couple inches taller than a man. Whether it was a good or bad thing, he was annoyed and smiling at the same time. Though I wanted to question him and try to know what he was doing, I refrained from asking because maybe it was something personal to him and I didn't have the right to ask about his business. We were closer because of the time we spent in the village, and I could ask anything, and he does that frequently, but when it came to personal life, there should be a limit to what you could ask, and you couldn't ask ever. That was the unspoken rule of traveling companions, with rule number one being: don't ask personal questions unless your companion wishes to tell you himself.

My attention drifted from Raco to the site that we are running to, wondering what we are going to encounter since there was no need to ask if it was safe or not; we will simply figure out the answer to that question when we reach our destination soon enough. Only then will I reach the vicinity, and only then will I be able to ask the load of questions I am carrying more and getting heavier at the same time?.

Nothing was that much of a challenge to me or to anyone else at that matter. We were running inside a dense forest with not much space between the trunks of the trees. I even don't know how the guard running in front of us was able to pinpoint the direction he was taking us. We had no other options but to follow him. While we were running and to estimate we were close to the location of the gunshots, suddenly the earth started to shake under our feet. "Is this an earthquake?" I asked that out loud at the same time the shaking that started like tremors started to increase. We all halted and looked around us, and without saying anything else, I grabbed the nearest trunk of a tree near me, at the same time, Azmar also did the same.

The other two looked at us for a second and also did the same, the shaking continued for a couple of minutes and it actually caused several cracks to appear on the ground, which were not that deep but never the less it was a totally scary experience for me. I don't remember ever seeing an earthquake like that except in movies back on earth; this was the first time for me experiencing one, and it happened to be in another world on top of that in a forest, I don't know why but it didn't make any sense to me, and an earthquake of that magnitude would cause a huge landslide; most of the trees would fall down; a forest is often completely removed or submerged by such landslides, but nothing happened except a few cracks on the ground, though I am not a scientist but an earthquake of that magnitude should have caused more than a few cracks.

Obviously this is not a natural earthquake but an artificial one, and that was the conclusion I reached, though I didn't voice it out to anyone simply because I don't have any proof of that. We waited in the same position after the earthquake for a few more minutes, and I was the first one to move and say, "I don’t think there will be any more earthquakes coming, so we better move and see what happened." Ajbadan looked at me for a second and nodded his head in agreement, then looked at the others and said, "Let's keep on going; I also think that we need to find people so we can figure out where we are." Without waiting for any response from anyone, he started moving towards the same destination he was going to before the quake.

.................................

At about 300 meters (1000 feet) from approximately where all our different parties were headed and where the gunshots started and the two parties were exchanging gunfire, there was a middle aged man around 40 years old and a young boy less than 15 years old. A woman and two kids were there, and the man asked the young boy, "How is it going so far?" The young boy answered, "Three are down, another three are remaining, and the ones at their back are coming towards us." "How many?" asked the man back to the young man. He answered, "Another six men." The man's face color changed immediately, and he looked back to his wife and thought, "This is the only way they would be safe." The man looked for a second at the two kids, a man has to do what he has to do for his family, so there is nothing to think about. He looked at the woman and said, "I am sorry, Hina. Luke will take care of you, until you reach the city, and I will take care of this."

Without waiting for any response from the woman he called Hina, he gave a last look at the two kids and turned his face back to the young man, saying, "Farewell brother, I will go now," and immediately he stood up, jumped to his right side, and started running.

The children started crying, and so did the woman. He didn't give them any chance to say anything; all of that just took a few seconds. The young boy, who was called Luke, was shocked as well. From the confusion caused by his brother's action, he stopped firing; him stopping firing, the children crying, and the man running out, all this happened in just around five seconds.

The men who were shooting at them also stopped firing back at the same time, as it appears they were not expecting the man to come out and run in the opposite direction. They had already lost three men to that sharp-shooting young boy, but their goal was to capture the man who had just fled.

    Chapter 39Beginning of the Invasion Part 2B Rohonda appeared to be listening to a report from some type of recorded device when the countdown started; although her attention was directed to what she was listening to, she didn’t miss the quietness of the place with hundreds of people being silent at once. She put the device that she was listening to and collected another one from her desk drawer and started recording a message: “This recording is from Section One; the time is 17.00 hours, and today is the first day that officially Project Zero One started finally. I hope we have enough time to implement all the security measures that we have been working on." Without a second thought, she pressed the send button and returned the device to the same drawer. With a sigh, she rested her back on the chair she was sitting in and said, “I wonder if this was all a perdition or planned, I don’t know what they are thinking, fighting an alien invasion with abducted aliens.” a

"And Ayuma, Please call the head of the council, Mr. Enigma, and tell him to meet me here as soon as possible." At that time she heard a sound similar to thunder, or maybe it was thunder, but usably the lightning and thunder come for the sky with a storm or rain but not in a confide or an open space near the ground; the circle was actually above the ground and was almost two and a half meters above ground. From this distance, nobody was able to guess the size of it, but since it was almost three kilometers outside of the city and was visible that much from that distance, it was obvious that it was huge; everyone was able to see it was palpitating like a heart from that distance. The movement of the muddy cloud inside the circle was so ominous that everyone who was still standing there felt the chill in their bones, and whoever di

    Chapter 37Beginning of the Invasion Part 1BEmika’s point of viewThis was the worst nightmare I have been seeing, and I really wished it was just a nightmare, but it was not; it was a reality, a fact in front of my eyes. The thing I was referring to as a portal was forming in the same location I have been seeing it in my dreams, or, to say it correctly, my nightmares. And the reason I am referring to it as a portal is because I knew it was, because I saw it with my own closed eyes at that time, the monsters coming out of it, which indicates that it was a portal of some kind. I have been afraid my dreams would come true, and I didn’t wish for it, but somehow I had the feeling that whatever I saw would happen, but I hoped it would be in a different day and time; a time when I was better prepared for it and was able to take some kind of countermeasure for it.I have no idea what kind of countermeasure I could have been able to take. But anything is better than being taken by surprise

    Chapter 36Beginning of the Invasion Part 1AThe girls had a large tent and they were struggling with it, Since Ajbadan said he will help them, he decided to go to the boy Still, he was wondering why didn’t dismantle his tent? Or at least why? if he is not doing anything, why did he help the girls? Aren’t they his companions? At least they have been together more the rest of them, Regardless of their meeting in the forest, as they said, Murad shook his head like he was dropping the questions that filled it and went to the boy. Aden stood up when he saw Murad approaching him and smiled while saying, “It’s embarrassing to say that, seeing you came to help me, but I am actually leaving the tent here that way I didn’t dismantle it.” Murad was not expecting to hear that at all While the surprise was showing on his face, he asked, “Can I ask you why?” Aden didn’t expect to be asked that question either, so he hesitated for a second and said while scratching his head with a small laugh, ”ha

    Chapter 35The First EncounterPart 6BGoosebumps ran down his spine when he saw what he saw when he used the skill. He was staring at a black portal that was enormous, over four meters tall and ten meters wide, with a black square shape instead of the typical gateway portals seen on this planet. It was both smokey and liquid-like at the same time, and he was unable to determine what material it was composed of. It was moving like a live entity with a pulsating heart, but it was not changing shape. In a matter of seconds, it gained shape and materialized in front of him at the location the youngster had indicated. He felt a terrible sensation throughout his body. This is what the young man was talking about. He told himself, "So it's all true then," confirming the first thing the boys had mentioned. "The time was the next thing he confirmed, and it was true too." He had the chance to glance at the clock now that it was getting to be the time of sunset, but he didn't think of it. He fe
