Chapter 4: The Terror of the Zero Horde

Part 1: Outnumbered

“Rohan! Check updates about the soldiers in Zerthal” General Axis is somehow depressed of what happened yesterday, he is on his chair thinking of what to do to clear his name from jeopardy

“Okay sir… wait for a while, and I will tell you the results”

“C’mon Rohan! I did not  hire you for me to wait!” Axis draws his M1911 and shot the floor near Rohan. Rohan jumped off the floor

“Okay sir… here it is, according to this, both FDs arrived at Zerthal”

“Good…” Axis felt relieved from what Rohan said, knowing the soldiers are safe is important to him since it is his only way to erase what he was accused of doing in Terria

“ Unfortunately sir…”

“Unfortunately what!?” Axis turned from relieved, to stressed

“FD-Y made it to Zerthal by crashing, they did not press the button to activate the magnetic field before time travel”

“Dang it! How about FD-X?”

“They made it safe to Zerthal grounds”

“Well, that’s good news… I hope they don’t get attacked there by strange creatures… wait, I gotta go eat lunch now”

Axis walked out of the research room. Rohan was the only one left there, and is starting to make new plans against Axis

“Hahaha… Axis, these will be your last months in Terria anyway”

Zerthal: 0900

“This place is wonderful!” Crusher then draws his pistol and shoots in the air

“Whoa, hold your horses buddy, you might attract attention… and also conserve your freaking ammo” Lt. Parker Punched him in the back. Crusher almost fell by his knees because of force.

“We are not even sure if there are some aliens here…” Crusher replied

“Well it’s better to be silent. By the way, we are the aliens here.”

“Oh… nevermind. Where’s Capt. Maximus?” Crusher asked. Lt. Parker pointed east. They saw Maximus looking at a pile of violet red crystals.

“Man this looks beautiful… Barthas, Scan this material now!” Barthas immediately ran with mineral scanner in the shape of a pen in his hand.

“Scanning now sir…” The pen scanned the mineral and found it 100% unknown substance. They haven’t seen such mineral before.

“This is probably the mineral those scientists in the facility are talking about…” Maximus picked one from the ground and put it in his pocket.

“The one that can make us billionaires in just a gram? Dang I gotta have one of those things” Crusher and the rest picked one too. “Gosh… I can’t wait to get home and have my own mansion.” Crusher added.

“Ohohoho, we have a check in one of our mission list! Okay squad, let’s move!” Maximus ordered. He lead the way, although they do not know where they are going. They are looking for the antimatter in Zerthal. Barthas kept scanning the grounds just in case there are more minerals that can be extracted.

Then history repeated itself…

Lt. Parker was walking then a baby Zero jumped from a rock to his gauntlet.

“Awww, cu… wait…” He wondered, he was intimidated of the look of the baby Zero on his gauntlet. He looked sideways if someone is staring at him. When he realize that everyone was busy looking for antimatter, he drew his knife and cut the baby Zero.
