Angel's Ascension: Heroes of Humanity (Book 11)

Epilogue: Urgency

In the middle of a jungle, Hanna crept through the low brush and held his blaster close. He hugged a thick tree and gently climbed up on the arch of it. A loud chirp startled him as a bird flew away and flapped its wings. His ears reddened while an intense heat covered the back of his head.

Whew, that was a close one. I hope that rare species of animal is still around or this ecosystem will be in big trouble. There has to be one female and one male to track at least. Hanna pulled a pair of goggles out when his phone vibrated. He stared down at it when he noticed Eren's name on the screen. With the phone raised to his ear, he took a deep breath and answered.

"Hanna, I'm sorry to call at such a bad time but this is some urgent business. Are you familiar with the last mission you were on?" Eren asked.

"Yes, sir. The one with the artifacts?" Hanna whispered.

Eren clenched his fist and inhaled. "Well, we found them but there seems to be trouble on the rise. The warnings we received from that shamen turned out to be true."

Hanna froze in place and nearly dropped his phone. "Are you serious? If that's the case then we need some serious help or else the multiverse could be out of balance again..."

"Looks like we landed on an unknown planet this time. It's unmarked on the map so we can explore it blind!" Reine exclaimed. She stepped out of the citadel and took a deep breath. "A lot of nitrogen in the air so we can filter the oxygen just nicely here."

Sai, along with Bane, and Ruby stepped out first when they spotted several purple trees. Neon green leaves glowed while two-headed critters crawled up the trees. Azrael and Luna sprinted out of the citadel before they jumped onto the fresh black sand.

"Well, this place seems interesting for sure." Wall crossed his arms and smirked. "Just what do we intend to do here?"

"To play with the wildlife!" Luna shouted. "I'm going to explore and see if any big ones show up." She giggled.

Reine glanced back at the entrance with a frown. "Karden, are you coming? Is something wrong in there?"

Spades slowly stepped out as light reflected across his mask. "I sensed something before we landed. Not sure what it was but I have a bad feeling about our home on Earth."
