196 The Elders Trade (1/2)
Surrounding the massive Arkhan ship from all angles are the hundreds of Guardian aircraft. From afar, the scene looked like an alien invasion, with their spaceships hunting each other instead of the humans.
Composing the Guardian air armies are the four larger ships that are responsible for channeling the web-like energy that secured the whole Arkhan ship and trapping the remaining Arkhans inside. Besides these ships are other smaller ships that are about fifty meters in length and width.
KSSSSK~
Simultaneously, the exit hatch opened from different sides of the smaller aircraft, and Guardian soldiers, flying with antigravity boots and advance looking weapons on their arms, flew out and headed towards the Arkhan mothership.
Each of these Guardian soldiers has tall and solidly built of about seven meters in height. A transparent helmet with glowing holograms reflecting before their heads can be seen. Like a Jarvis system of Tony Stark except without the helmet.
Their skin tone is of the pale blue, their whole body is covered by a white flexible and bulletproof suit that seems to change colors whenever they liked while giving them an amazing blending ability.
Like ants zerging out of the hundreds of hovering Guardianships, these soldiers have stiff and serious expressions as they further secured the whole Arkhan ship while pointing their gun at any signs of resistance from the trapped Arkhans.
”Now where am I?”
Elric's first words after fully recovering and waking up. He is now standing in the middle of a messy room with advance looking machines making error beeping sounds from system overloading, while the rest are left to pieces of scorched devices.
”That was a close one huh...” He mumbled as he observed the broken devices and getting a full view of the entire area. There are faint flickering lights from the distant rooms and sparks from broken electric devices everywhere.
”Oh well...”
It did not take long before Elric finally found an exit path. However, the moment he saw the exit door, he saw the energy field coating the entire Arkhan ship. As Elric went closer to the energy barrier, a distant shout from the outside immediately greeted him.
”Don't move Arkhan!”
”Do not step further or we will have to end your miserable life right here, right now!”
”Resisting is futile! Just surrender and you will still get the chance to live, although behind bars.”
Elric, with a tired face, looked at the floating Guardian soldiers thank's to their anti-gravity boots. The moment they saw Elric, a surge of intimidating aura assaulted them, causing their instincts to stay on guard, raising their weapons and pointing them at Elric.
”Can you let me pass? I am really not in the mood right now.” Elric, without a hint of fear of worry, asked.
”You can't fool us Arkhan. We know how you are capable of changing your biological structure and imitate anyone as you will. That's why we can't let any single one of you go past the barrier.” The one closer in front replied with a stern look.
”Look. I really have to go. My turtle friend is waiting for me.”
”Turtle my ass! You think that lowly trick will work on us Guardians?” The one behind butted in, then with a whisper to his comrades, he asked, ”He can't be the Alpha Dragon right?”
”I am not quite sure, but data reports from the headquarters reveal that the Alpha Dragon's energy has suddenly weakened and dissapeared inside the middle of the ship.” Replied the one floating further back.
”Then it is really possible that the Alpha Dragon is dead?”
”That is why securing the Arkhan ship and making sure that no one escapes is our priority. As for now, his body and energy frequency is not emanating any threat at all.” Explained the leader in front.
Unable to wait anymore, Elric started to step forward and closer to the energy barrier that is trapping him inside.
Seeing Elric disregarding their warning, the floating soldiers immediately repointed their guns, charging it and ready to fire any second.
”Last warning! One more step and you are as good as dead!” The leader declared with a threatening shout.
But Elric still continued walking, not heeding an ounce of their threat. His hand is even poking his nose, trying to get rid of sticky dust inside his left nostril.
The moment his body made contact with the barrier, it created a sharp cracking sound like a glass slowly being shattered.
WOOOOM~BAASH!
Elric popped out of the barrier without even feeling any strong resistance. Compared to an ordinary Arkhan or Guardian, leaving the energy barrier by brute strength is but a miracle for them.
And witnessing Elric flawlessly breaking it left their mouths gaping in shock and eyes wide in disbelief.
Finally, after seeing Elric leaving the barrier without any hard effort, the commander immediately issued his command.
”Kill this Arkhan!”
SLAASH!
SLAASH!~
SLAASH!~
