54 Team Whisky 4 (2/2)

Sergeant Red watched through to the end of the recording. He zoomed in to a spot of the video clip and sent it to the squad.

”Is this a psychic crystal?”

Simon said with uncertainty. Sergeant Red nodded. It was the crystal attached to the end of the Elu mage's cane.

”Everyone should be aware of the psychic bombs which shot down our planes. The Elu mage was the perpetrator. The driving force behind the attack had been this psychic crystal. They will reserve psychic energy in these crystals for a long time. This is the reason why they could attack with as much power as dragons. They will be able to make one more attack of the same power.”

”How do you know this?”

Han asked. Sergeant Red pointed to the crystal.

”The color of the crystal is a faint sky blue. This is the proof that there is not much psychic energy left inside. If the crystal is completely spent, it turns white. If you look at its size and color, you will be able to estimate the amount of psychic energy stored inside it.”

Sergeant Red had numerous battle experience. He had fought against dragons and of course countless minions.

Elu mages were threatening existences, Sergeant Red was aware of their unique characteristics. He had come to learn of these facts after losing countless peers.

'My role is to teach everything we learned from our sacrifices to these brats.'

Official squads which Ark deploys always include a minimum of one, first-generation psyker. The first generation psykers are instructed that if they are to fall into a life threatening situation, the students' lives come first. If necessary, they are to die in order to save the students.

”Catching the wizard will now commence. The most important point is our speed. We must suppress the Elu mage before it gets to use its power to attack. Silence will be responsible for this, while Han will be the second attacker. If Silence's situation becomes unfavorable, Han will face off with the mage. No, if it turns to that point, just kill the mage.”

Sergeant Red planned out tactics based on the information they had gathered. We will try to suppress the mage with an ambush, and afterwards eliminate the warriors.

-Moving out. Eight meters in distance.

Han focused. Now, any sort of mistake was unacceptable.

”Huu, huu.”

He inhaled and exhaled. He remembered the time he tried to steal food from the military food truck. He snuck past the soldier who was taking a smoke break and snuck into the back loading space. He had no idea when the soldiers would return and had to try to sooth his rampaging, fearful heart.

-arrived at an observable distance.

Han peered across through his helmet shield toward the Elu tribe.

'What are they doing?'

The Elus were putting something onto their alter. He could see bits and pieces of a familiar cloth. They were pieces of the Ark training uniforms.

Thump, thump.

Han's heart drummed heavily. He couldn't hear any sound from his surroundings, only his own heart's loud thumps.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

'Can't be.'

The Elu tribe had skewered something to the end of a stick and propped it onto the altar. Blood flowed down the stick.

Ba-dududuk!

Han grinded his teeth. The Elus had skewed corpses onto the stick. These were the dead youths of Ark; even in death they could not rest in peace. They had become the Elu's sacrifices.

-Calm down, Han.

Sergeant Red's voice sounded distant. Han breathed hard while getting a hold of himself. Anger boiled from his chest.

”Ah.”

Han let out a tiny groan. He saw a familiar face from the dead youths. The two members that had gone missing from Squad 13. The members of this squad had become cold corpses and were being mocked by the Elus.

'They are my squad members. Domingo, Qassim…..'

Han had always remained calm and made logical decisions. He had a coolness that stood out from his peers and was shocking even amongst adults. The Elus had ruffled the one thing that kept his emotions at bay.

'I had already known they were dead. However to be put into this state…..'

He tried to calm his heart, but his heart thumped like a wild animal that was raging inside. Han's chest began to ache.

Guuuoooo.

Psychic energy spilled from Han's eyes. His psychic energy and mind melted together. His mind shook and killing intent boiled, igniting his psychic energy.

-No! Han!
