  “This is history in the making…!” Motakai whispers to Kimiko.

  “Yes…the time has finally come…” Kimiko whispers back.

  “…Well, that was quick,” says Harumi, ending the silence…

  “…Yup,” replies Kyo.

  Chapter 30

  Return

  After the events that have transpired in the land of Galaxus, we now return to the world of the newly reformed Atlas. 1 million Dynasty Soldiers, including the almighty Calamita Team, have just arrived at the surface of their land and were awestruck to have witnessed their precious world transformed into a world of complete darkness…

  Everyone walked around like zombies, slowly, quietly observing the many black towers before them, and the dark skies above them. Others got teary-eyed at the sight of the state that's become of their land. Tatyana looks around with the look of anger on her face, while Akira stands there motionless, observing his comrades’ reactions towards everything. Luke could do only walk around with the crowd and watch in silence…

  There’s nothing…but skyscrapers around here… thought Luke, gazing up at the dark sky.

  “Sky…blood red…fog running on the ground…it’s like we stepped into a futuristic ghost world,” says Tatyana.

  Saul observes everyone, observing, and crosses his arms, walking forward towards them with a serious look on his face.

  “Alright everyone!” shouts Saul. All the soldiers stopped what they were doing and quickly put their attention towards Saul, “…We are now going to be designated to our posts. Right now, I want all fighter soldiers stationed with me. Sword fighters are stationed with Daichi and Gunner soldiers with Victoria. The fighter soldiers and I will be heading towards Wintu City, which is my home city. Daichi’s team will head to his home of Xera, and Victoria’s home, Atlas City. Is that clear?”

  “Yes, sir!” shouts the soldiers in a loud, quick response. The Calamita gave the nod and smirk towards them before all three quickly pressed a button on the side of their Calamita Morpher. No later do they press the button, everyone vanishes in a white light…

  …As silence arrived once again into the spooky city; there appeared to be many shadows with piercing bright red eyes floating above the town where the soldiers just vanished…

  [Wintu City]

  A large white light formed in another part of the city, and in seconds, a bright flash occurs. As the brightness dims, a good chunk of the soldiers has landed in a different section of this dark land. Amongst the soldiers was Tatyana, slowly looking around the area, before looking up and finding Saul on top of one of the many skyscrapers, arms crossed looking down at them.

  “…Look at Mr. Hot Shot,” says Tatyana before sucking her teeth.

  “Alright! All fighter soldiers stationed in Wintu City!” shouts Saul. Everyone looked up and found where Saul was.

  “Holy shit…!” says a male soldier.

  “That transportation felt like it took only a second. We’re already in Wintu City…?” says a shocked female soldier.

  “I need all of you to begin scouting right away and prepare yourselves. We do not know when our enemy will strike. Try to split up into groups of 5 if you can, and get to work,” says Saul before turning his back on the soldiers and walking off. The thousands of fighter soldiers quickly talked amongst each other, seemingly already ready to group and begin. Tatyana walks around, scouting the many soldiers grouping with each other, walking off elsewhere or floating off the ground and fly off. As Tatyana continues walking, she suddenly gets a hand patted on her shoulder. Tatyana quickly turns around and finds a male soldier before her, along with one more male, and two females. The young man who approached Tatyana had short spiky brown hair and light brown eyes. He had a bright smile on his face contacting Tatyana. However, Tatyana didn’t return the same facial gesture, instead just rolling her eyes at him.

  “…What do you want?” asked an annoyed Tatyana.

  “…I’m Michael Havings. We want you to join us in our group,” says Michael, offering Tatyana a handshake. Tatyana squinted her eyes at him, but soon enough, Tatyana gives in and accepts Michael’s handshake.

  “Welcome aboard,” says Michael with a smile.

  “Whatever,” replies Tatyana, “OK, so who are the other members I’m working with here?”

  “I’m Tori Laynes,” says one female, “And I’m her twin sister, Tora Laynes,” replies the other female. They both had long blonde hair and blue eyes. Although they had a similar facial appearance, Tori had her hair in a long ponytail, while Tora’s was straight down past her shoulders.

  “Ah…twins…just to let you two know, I have three sisters who all almost look identical to me,” says Tatyana.

  “Wow! Quadruplets?!” says a shocked Tora, with Tatyana nodding in response.

  “Uhh…I’m Sammy Jones,” says the other male. He had short yellow spiky hair and green eyes. He nodded towards Tatyana. Tatyana nods back, before making eye contact with Michael.

  “Alright! Introductions are all done! Let’s begin, shall we?” says Michael with a smirk, walking past Tatyana, supposedly leading the group. The twins and Sammy follow him while Tatyana turns and looks towards her team with a look of curiosity.

  “…I hope you four don’t die on me…” mutters Tatyana before following her team crossing her arms with a serious look on her face…

  [Xera City]

  Next spot was Xera City, which looked no different to any other part of this dark land. However, there were many mountains not too far from this part of the area. Many of the swordsman and swordswomen soldiers were already out and about, quickly getting into groups and beginning their mission.

  Afar from the city, Daichi was standing on top of a mountain, arms crossed with his eyes lowered. The wind blew through his hair before he slowly opened his eyes and gazed at the dark city before him.

  …Xera, nothing more than a small land, surrounded by only mountains. The Solars have now transformed it into only another section of their skyscraper land. For what purpose, did they to do this…? thought Daichi, looking on with anger. …My land is gone…but I will get it back…no matter what.

  “…Akira Matsumoto. Son of Daichi Matsumoto, or captain,” says Akira, shaking hands with another young male at his age. He had short brown spiky hair and brown eyes, with a small scar on his left cheek.

  “Awesome to be partners with you. The name’s Kame Thomas,” says Kame with a smirk.

  “Hello! I’m Miku Irumi!” shouts a joyful young female, suddenly hugging Akira from behind. Akira had the look of embarrassment on his face as Miku gripped tightly onto his body like a teddy bear. Miku had short black hair with light green eyes.

  “…Miku, can you please get off me?” asks Akira.

  “…No!” replies Miku with a smile, resting her head on Akira’s back.

  “I see you got yourself a girlfriend on the team!” says Kame.

  “She’s not my girlfriend! We just trained together, and now she’s…yeah,” replies Akira, rolling his eyes.

  Moments later, someone walks over to the group. The three look and find a soldier taller than them. They all had the look of curiosity on their faces, mainly focusing on the soldier’s face, who supposedly already had its armor helmet on, not revealing his or her face.

  “…Umm…hello?” says Akira with a confused look on his face.

  “…I’ll be joining your group, Akira Matsumoto,” says the tall soldier, with a broad male voice from behind the armored helmet.

  “…Cool. You’re older than all of us here. Name?” asks Akira.

  “He’s scary…” whispers Miku with a worried look.

  “…Zavius Knox,” replies Zavius.

  “…Alright then. It’s final. Me, Miku, Kame, and Zavius. Let’s do this,” says Akira with a smile on his face.

  “Wait. We still need one more. Sir Daichi says, five people,” says Miku.

  “…Don’t worry about that. I have a feeling this group
will be fine with me,” replies Akira with a warm smile.

  “Alright, you heard it here first from the legendary swordsman’s son! Let’s do this!” shouts Kame with a smirk.

  “…This’ll be interesting,” says Zavius.

  “Yay! Let’s get going Akira!” shouts Miku, holding onto Akira’s hand and dragging him off with her.

  “H-Hey! Miku calm down, will you?!” shouts Akira.

  “Hey Zavius, let’s go follow the lovebirds, huh?” says Kame, nudging Zavius on his arm as he walked past him.

  “…No other choice…” says Zavius, following ahead.

  [Atlas City]

  And last, but not least, was Victoria’s group, the Gunner soldiers. Besides Saul arriving on the top of a building, and Akira miles away from his soldiers, Victoria is joined with all of her soldiers.

  “Alright! Everyone’s here! Teleportation is great, isn’t it?” says Victoria with a smile, “Alright, you guys know the deal! Get into groups of 5 and venture into this shit hole.”

  “Yes, ma’am!” shouts the soldiers.

  As the soldiers formed into groups, meanwhile Luke has assembled his team. Altogether were three males and two females. Luke had his arms crossed, confronted by the two men and two women, and already, he had a smirk on his face, confident at the team formed before him.

  “Alright! Let’s get to names, shall we?” says Luke, “First, as you all may already know, I’m Luke Tavian, Victoria Tavian’s little brother!”

  “I’m Kim Masuri,” says Kim with a smile and waving at Luke. She was the first female. She appeared a little older than the rest of the group, around Victoria’s age. She was quite a beautiful woman, with slanted eyes, black eyes, and long black hair tied in a ponytail. Luke noticed that Kim wielded a sniper rifle attached to her back. The look she gave Luke made him blush, before quickly looking away and looking towards his next partner.

  “August King here,” says August, waving towards Luke, looking bored to be in the dark scenery. He had scruffy brown hair with a black beard and blue eyes. He appeared as if he just got out of bed, yawning and scratching into his hair.

  “Linda Kailee!” says Linda, saluting before Luke immediately, to which Luke looked on with a surprised look. Linda had short blonde hair and blue eyes, with the look of seriousness that the others in the group were surprised by.

  “I’m Caleb Dusk,” says Caleb with a smirk and a nod. Caleb had short black hair and a chin beard, looking very determined to start things.

  “Alright! The team has been finalized! Now let’s get out of here and start exploring!” shouts Luke with a smile. Luke’s feet floated off the ground, and in seconds, Luke flew off into the dark sky, with the rest of his teammates not saying a word and flying off after him.

  As most of the soldier’s scatter around the city, Victoria is standing on top of one of the many skyscrapers, with a full hologram of Daichi and Saul before her, with all 3 having a serious look on their faces.

  “Alright, guys. What do you think of this shit?” asks Victoria, crossing her arms.

  “Well, it appears everything looks the same. Atlas is nothing more than a dark skyscraper land,” replies Saul.

  “With Xera previously being nothing more than a village, it too has been scattered with nothing but skyscrapers,” says Daichi.

  “Ridiculous. How could the Solars have transformed this massive land into this…?” says Victoria, looking at the horizon of the city.

  “Trying to take our land as theirs. They may have won that round, but this round, we’re turning things around big time,” says Saul, cracking his knuckles with an angry frown.

  Moments later, a hologram of Stacey appears before the group, who also had a serious expression on her face.

  “…Good thing you all are ok,” says Stacey.

  “Too soon to be saying that Missy,” replies Victoria as she rolled her eyes.

  “Whatever,” Says Stacey, rolling her eyes back at Victoria, “Now, let’s get down to business. I’ve discovered where to plant the bombs,”

  “Damn, already?!” says a shocked Saul.

  “You say that it would take days to reach towards that plan. You’ve already located the key spots?” says a shocked Daichi.

  “I’m Stacey Jin. The Head Operator of Atlas Dynasty of Spheres. Don’t EVER, underestimate my skills,” replies Stacey with a smirk.

  “Yes, ma’am,” says Daichi and Saul in unison. Victoria, however, rolled her eyes at the confidence of Stacey.

  “OK, since we’re the ones to plant the bombs, where is the location? We can end this faster,” says Victoria.

  “1st of all, don’t be so sure of that Victoria. We don’t know what’s out there. Our enemy won’t leave this land vacant like that. 2nd of all, the key spots, are, unfortunately, located in Tower City,” replies Stacey.

  “Ugh…that’s fucking far,” says Victoria with a glowering look, “…Are you sure?”-

  “Yes,” replies Stacey, cutting Victoria off, “Go to Tower City, and I will coordinate you 3 to the key designated spots to plant the bombs. I will tell you three now, that already teleporting your soldiers over to the three cities have drained your morphers. Using it again to reach towards Tower City will gradually drain it. I advise you 3 save your energy and fly over there. From where you three are standing, it will take at least an hour to get there. I will send more energy to your morphers as soon as you get there.”

  “Can’t we just teleport there now and then you recharge them?” asks Victoria.

  “For safety precautions, I advise to FLY there. I don’t want you guys nearly out of energy teleporting there, and then the enemies show up. The powers you unleash from the Calamita Morpher already take enough. Flying will save much of it,” replies Stacey.

  “…Fine,” says Victoria, slowly floating off the top of the building as she crossed her arms, agitated.

  “Be safe on your destination guys. It’s going to be a long one,” says Stacey, watching the Calamita Team fly off with a gazing look in her eyes…

  [Wintu City]

  Elsewhere in the large city that once was Wintu City, there appeared to be two couples, apparently making out on top of a skyscraper. They both were naked, with the male on top of the female, passionately kissing each other in this rather dark atmosphere. The woman called out to the male’s name, which was David, while David did the same back to Mivelle. As the two were getting it on…what, they did not notice that above them in the sky, appeared to be a brown hooded coat figure wielding a saw-like sword, with piercing red eyes, watching the aroused couple “very” closely. As David stopped kissing Mivelle and continued towards her neck, continually thrusting her, Mivelle looked at the sky and saw the figure floating in the air. Her face quickly shifted from aroused, to complete fear. She opened her mouth and tried to let words out, but she couldn’t perhaps the performance from David was taking a toll on her, or that the hooded figure has now landed right in front, standing over them now.

  “Ohh…~ I’m about to bust!” shouts David.

  “D-Dav…David…!” says Mivelle, pointing at the hooded figure.

  “I’m coming baby~” replies David.

  Moments after, the hooded figure grabs hold of David’s head tight. Mivelle saw that the hooded figure’s hand was steel metallic, and before she knew it, David’s body was lifted off of her with the hooded figure now lifting David’s body high in the air.

  “Hey, what the fuck?!” shouts David, quickly kicking the air forcefully.

  “David!!” shouts a frightened Mivelle, crawling back.

  “Get the fuck off me!!” shouts David, kicking his legs and using his hands to get the hooded figure’s tight grip off his head.

  The hooded figure slowly looks at Mivelle, and seconds later, the hooded figure swings its sword and slices David’s head smooth off his body. The headless body of David falls to the ground in front of Mivelle, with Mivelle looking on in horror to find the hooded figure holding David’s head, who’s frozen fac
ial expression was only anger. Mivelle could do nothing but erupt in a blood curdling scream…

  A scream so loud, Tatyana’s group heard it. Tatyana and the others look up towards the sound of the cry with shocked looks on their faces.

  “Uh oh,” says a curious Micheal.

  “It’s nearby too…!” says Tori.

  “Shit just went down already,” says Tatyana, tightening her fists, looking up at the sky with a glowering look…
