2026-03-29 03:41:37The five of them returned to the city hall and Alex entered the governor's office, Robert who was scribbling away at a few sheets on the table looked up to see Alex walking in with a frown on his face.
"How was it?" Robert asked then dropped the papers in his hand on the table and gestured to the chair in front of him. "What did he come here for?" Alex asked with a worried look on his face. "He asked for the cause behind the plague and I only told him the basics." "That's all?" Alex asked looking a bit relieved. "That's all, is it Lucien or not?" Robert asked while looking at Alex in the eye. "It's not Lucien, it's a mutant shapeshifter, probably a rogue newbie who was just a bit curious." He said with a hand on his forehead. "A shapeshifter? That's new, did he get away?" Robert asked with a curious expression on his face. "We couldn't catch him and he would probably slip away the moment we lost sight of him, it's pointless chasing if we can't catch him." Alex replied. "And if he only came for a few questions then I don't think he's harmful. "Even shapeshifters exist now what is the world turning to?" Robert said while leaning back on his swivel chair. "What are you guys going to do? Let him go? I think taking him in would be of help." "I've contacted a team to keep watch for any traces of him, I don't think he's dangerous so we'll try to recruit him for now." Alex was about to leave when one of the four standing outside came in. "I just checked for traces of the shapeshifter, the restaurant run by the governor's son was apparently raided by him recently." "A raid?" Robert asked. "Not really a raid, but according to the manager Lucien suddenly came to the restaurant and told him to transfer all the profits to an account he gave him, after they checked for the account it was already terminated." He explained. "Looks like we have a problem on our hands." Alex said. "But we have no trails on him for now. He could have gone to God knows where." Robert said. "Get the account he gave the manager, we'll work with that for now I'll contact you later" he said to Robert then left the office. After Alex left the office, Roberts expression changed into one of annoyance "these low lives who were nothing before suddenly think they rule the world after gaining some small ability." He snorted. -------------------------------------------- Orion was walking home now back in his normal body with a hood over his face and a small mask over his face, thinking of what Robert told him. 'So things should be back to normal soon and the deaths will stop. I'll just lay low till my exams are done then I'll think of what to do after that.' He muttered then returned to his lodge and called his mother. After the call, he cooked up a feast and decided to check the different cells he had stored already and their abilities, he had a total of seven stored colored cells already, he could recognize the green one he got from Dave (Rocky), the plain one he got from Lucien and the others with different colors. 'I didn't realize Dave was that strong maybe because I was using a partial transformation then or I did something wrong but it felt way stronger when I used it earlier.' Orion thought while transforming back into Dave's form then clenched his fists, he could feel his whole body screaming at him to throw out a fist but he resisted the urge and reverted back to his form. "This won't do, I'll go somewhere else" he said then put on his hood and left the lodge then hailed a cab headed for the outskirts of the city. "I should go rent a new house, staying in this lodge for so long is enough already." After a while, Orion stepped down the cab and paid him then walked towards the direction of the Silvermist mountains but didn't intend to go there, just deep enough to avoid attention. "I just need to check a few things then I'll leave real quick." Orion muttered. Looking at his right arm he transformed back in Dave's full form then clenched his fists and threw it towards a nearby tree. KRAAAACK!!—THOOOOM!! Orion watched in shock as the tree suddenly burst apart and fell to the ground. "How, no I'm not mistaken, it definitely wasn't this strong when I got it from Dave, what happened to it??"

Ambush?
"Josh, behind you!" The sudden alarm made his body tense, adrenaline pulsing through his veins as he performed a swift barrel roll, dodging over to the trees to take cover.~~squeak~~ ~~squeak~~A little rabbit poked it's head out of the dense covers, it's eyes fixated on the soldiers."A rabbit." His tensed body relaxed, the rabbit was barely a feet long it couldn't pose any sort of harm towards the team."Don't move out alone, this forest gives off creepy vibes, any small mistake and we'll be mowed by a truck sized bear.""S-013 vision!""All clear, you can proceed." "Understood, move out." ---"What do you mean all the beasts suddenly vanished?" Alaster asked with a frown on his face."A short while ago the teams reported the same occurrence to the command center 'beasts suddenly vanishing from sight'" "I instructed the team to increase awareness and watch out for potential ambushes but nothing was found, all the beasts in the outer zone vanished." The deputy general said wit
Taking Down The Outer Zone 1
12:00pm Over a thousand soldiers stood upright before the forward base, each of them divided into different units.The light soldiers with assault rifles, sidearms, grenades and other close combat weapons attached, assigned as the Frontline of the charge.The snipers were fewer in numbers but each of them were armed with snipers to take down enemies from hundreds of meters away along with reconnaissance drones for scouting.The third units were called the suppressors, armed with heavy machine guns, their main duty was to be on standby and open fire when ordered to, a combined assault from this unit would wreck down a portion of the mountain itself.The last unit were the heavy long distance support troops, armed with rocket launchers and rocket propelled grenades {RPGs}Alaster stood on a platform hurriedly made by the soldiers, he nodded with a look of satisfaction on his face."Do you all remember my order?!" "Take down the Silvermist mountains within the next 72 hours!!" The sold
The Advance Order
"They don't act like mindless beasts anymore, they have a sense of purpose behind their actions, it's more like they're an entirely new specie, new life forms birthed into existence." "We'll figure everything out as we advance, by tomorrow we'll move." Damion said with a smirk on his face."I am quite curious about what you mentioned also, I'm in." "I never said you had a choice." Aeric had a wide grin on his face as he turned to face Vincent who still remained silent."You're coming with me also."---Two days laterAeric walked across the small camp at the foot of the mountain, watching the soldiers march round the camp filled with endless vigor. The efficiency of the soldiers was really frightening, they managed to set up a suitable forward base within a single day, even cleared out all the tier 1 beasts roaming on the periphery of the mountain."The army lives up to it's name I'll admit, if only the battle wasn't in this dense forest we would win easily." Damion said beside Aeri
The Source
In a village located at the foot of the mountains near Cyberis, Damion stood with arms crossed watching the army organize themselves, creating a temporary base and supply center for the fleet to march into the mountains by the next day.Because of the dense forests even tanks couldn't be used, they had to rely on foot troops armed with guns, rocket launchers and bombs to carry out the siege."If the terrain was a bit more favourable this battle wouldn't be a source of concern, but they have all the advantage in this situation." Damion thought while watching the troops passing by.Vincent stood silently nearby without a word, he only watched the soldiers passing by with an expressionless look on his face.'How do they even expect this operation to work out? Bullets don't work against even tier 1 beasts anymore, only a few would actually be affected by bullets, this doesn't look optimistic to me no matter how much I try to reason with it, it's like throwing away the lives of the soldier
Robert's Despair
"The offensive forces are split into four fleets based on the four closest cities to the mountains, Cyberis in the eastern side, Arizona to the North, Raylen to the West and Godora to the South. After we take control of the outer zone we will set up a temporary camp and advance towards the inner zone where the four forces will link up and take down the core zone." "The president wants the war to end within a week or two at most, this will be a blitz attack and we'll take down the Silvermist mountains as soon as possible." Eric nodded his head with a smile "I trust with your competent capabilities the mission would be completed with a breeze, it can't be that bad it's just a bunch of beasts living up in the mountains right?" "If it were just a "bunch" of beasts we wouldn't be having this meeting, we won't have to organize a fleet to surround the forest on all sides and the government won't get involved in this whole mess, I'll prefer it if you all take this very serious." Eric imm
Relocation To Arizona
Orion gasped for air, taking in short deep breaths, the sudden Influx of information took him by surprise he couldn't react to it at once he almost passed out on the spot."What.. was that?" Even though he tried to peep into it's memories the sudden Influx was enough to drown him in an instant.He stood up with wobbly legs and trogged back to the town leaving behind the dead wolf who lay on the ground with blank eyes.----"Brother!""Brother!!"Orion opened his eyes with a reluctant gaze in his eyes staring at his younger sister who was crouching beside his bed."Kass, what's wrong? I'm still feeling sleepy don't disturb me." Orion said then pulled his blanket over his head without another word."Wake up! Mother's calling you downstairs, you've had enough sleep already." "Fine, I'll come over." "Mother wants to to come over, Now!" Kass said with a quick pull on his cloth."Okay I've heard, I'm up." "Better, I'll be waiting downstairs!" Kass said with her tongue stuck out in jest.
