Charging out of the hallway a swarm of 5'4 flying insects like alien's creatures that looks like giant rhino beetles' rushes towards Touka and the others. "OPEN FIRE!" Touka commended. Everyone open fire killing many of them in seconds. But the swarm kept on coming, slowly the soldiers begin to get overwhelmed by them slowly. Moving faster and more aggressive the soldiers find themselves standing in the middle of a swirling whirlpool of these deadly creatures. Covering the entire area with crew in the center of all of them. 

"There is too many of them!!" the soldiers shouted. The creatures begin biting down on theirs suits. With its strong jaws and teeth, they are managing to slowly peel away the armor off the soldiers. One of them tried to bite down on princess touka helmet. Standing next to her Stanley knocks the creature off her head using his gun and then step on it, crushing it under his foot. "Thank you," she said. "We are not out of the woods just yet. They are everywhere and at this rate we will be kill. 

The creatures dive one after the other so fast knocking around the soldiers. Another dive in to attack a soldier defenseless on the ground. Touka quickly jump in front of him activating her shield. "Activating arsenal matrix shield".  An energy shield that took the form of grid like plane. Touka held her wrist arm upward near her chest and the shield appeared and block the aliens from getting any closers. She then switches to her sword for a closer range attack and slice the creatures in half. 

The soldiers all as well activated theirs shields now that they are force into the defense.  They all hurdle up to each other with each of their backs against one another in a defensive circle formation. "We are completely surrounded. And these shields won't hold up forever. Any idea how to get out of this?" they ask. "Everyone just remembers to protect the princess," said Stanley. "Don't worry, I will get us out of this situation," said touka. "Do you have something in mind?" Stanley asks. 

She couldn't answer because she herself is unsure of her own words. She had no clue how to escape. Even if their try to run these things will still follow them. What should I do, if I don't do something. Everyone will die. Touka look at her comrades. Her interhomolog running wild. She cannot come up with the right course of action. Everyone right now is counting on her to save them but yet she feels like the one that need saving. She started to breath heavy. She feels her heart aching. She is sweating, feeling dizzy. Her vision is getting blurry and weakness in her knees. She is about to fall over while having a flash of memory of a similar occasion to this.  Blood, lots of blood. Tears and screaming with her being the only one standing in the center. 

No, please no. Not again. This can't be happening again. Why can't I do nothing when I need to the most. Please don't let it happen. Please something, anything. I can't hold it. "EVERYONE GET DOWN NOW!!" a voice shouted at them. It is Mio who is on the outside of the building. Flying up right behind her droid are the starfighters that is moving on their own. They all activated their weapons on the rare front. Massive machine guns pointed in the swarm of the creatures. "I hate bugs!! shouted Mio. She uses the weapons on the starfighters to unleash a rain of heavy bullet ripping apart the creatures as well as destroying the remaining area of the floor there are on. 

"Princess Mio that is enough seize fire," Stanley tried to tell her. "But Mio kept firing until all the bullets in the weapons are done. "Are they all dead?" she asks. With the dust settle she sigh in relief to all the bugs dead and the others ok. The soldiers are relief to be alive. Great thinking hacking into the starfighter to control the Mio," Stanley give her praise. Touka are you alright she asks her sister. Touka is still breathing heavily and unable to speck of a few second. "Touka it ok, you did great," Stanley said in a calm tone. After holding her hand, she started to calm down. After breathing normal again, she tells Mio good work before processing to order the soldier to continue moving.
