Episode 2
Invasion
To the greatest fear, pain, and grief, Og ran through the intertwined trees, dragging his legs through the dark forest. The faintest light illuminated his path as he struggled on, carrying his injured body with his weary legs.
Suddenly, they emerged from the shadows and surrounded him. They wore hoods and cloaks, hiding their faces from sight. Only their nails were visible—long and sharp like sabres.
The moment Og saw them, his fear multiplied a hundredfold. His pain intensified as one of them rushed toward him with incredible speed. It seized him and slammed his back against a tree. Then it moved closer, pinning him tightly against the trunk before raising its long claws and stabbing him.
Og cried out in agony.
The creature immediately flung him back to where he had been. Groaning in unbearable pain, Og felt the little life left in him fading away. He was in critical condition.
Then a mysterious figure appeared.
Dressed in a dark cloak with its hood covering its head, the figure radiated a majestic yet terrifying aura. Every step it took commanded fear. Its eyes were hidden beneath the mask it wore, making its presence even more intimidating.
As the figure approached, the other cloaked monsters bowed before it. When it reached Og, it stared at him before speaking in a foreign language.
Then, in English, it said,
"Mart Force... you're next."
Immediately, Og was lifted from the ground by an immense invisible force.
Head Intro
Ryan: "I'm Ryan Vins, and these are my friends—Ely, Iriel, and Alicia. We were all affected by Marthardanian DNA, which changed us in ways we could never explain. Our bodies and entire systems were transformed, drawing us into unbelievable mysteries and dangerous adventures.
The Marthardanian DNA made us... the Mart Force."
At De. Griss High School, Ryan and Ely were deep into the school's ball training session. Four players per side, dunks landing one after another, their skills showing remarkable coordination. After a while, the coach blew the final whistle. They stopped and exchanged friendly congratulations.
Coach: "Krueger, Vins... can I have a moment?" (He smiled, his dark skin glowing the afternoon light, the crooked grin of a man who had led De Griss High for ten years.) "Nice job out there, boys. Meet me in the afternoon for the next session."
Ryan and Ely: "Yes, sir!" (in a military tone)
The coach walked away, his whistle swinging from his neck. Ryan and Ely were about to high-five when Alicia and Iriel approached.
Iriel: "Hi guys."
Ely: (shocked) "Whoah!"
Alicia: "You guys are really good at this."
Ryan: "Thanks. But since when have you guys been here?"
Iriel adjusted her hair behind her ears, smoothing the loose black mini-gown she wore. Alicia wore a mini skirt, a black jacket, and a sleeveless crop top. Both shimmered with beauty.
Iriel: "Since the time you started dunking."
Ely: (stylishly) "Wow."
Alicia: " So we thought we'd treat you guys. Silvae's.",gesturing with her hands
Iriel and Ryan: "Silvae's?"(surprised)
Ryan: "What in the world is that?"
Ely:You guys still have a lot to learn in this school."
Ryan: "This is our third week, actually."
Alicia: "Just give us five minutes. Iriel, want to come?"
Iriel: "Maybe." (hesitant,adding abit of she followed Alicia)
In the fortress, Hazel and Kylock watched the rolling "M" sign on the screen after the ominous message.
Hazel: "What kind of message was that?"
Kylock: "An ominous one."Hazel gave him a sharp, fearful stare.
Hazel: "We need to contact the force."
She walked away.
Iriel and Alicia arrived at Silvae's, a student-friendly snack bar lit with bright bulbs forming its name.
Alicia: "Welcome to the legendary Silvae's."
Iriel: (skeptical) "So much for your hype."
Alicia: "You haven't seen anything yet, newbie."
She pulled Iriel inside. The interior was simple,with tables and chairs, with "Silvae's" inscribed around.
Iriel: "It's still the same as all bars."
Alicia: "But you haven't tasted the drinks."A heavysetChapter 20
Black woman in an apron approached them.
Alicia: "Hi Miss Im."
Miss Im: (smiling) "How are you? You weren't here last week."
Alicia: "Uh... school stuff." (hesitant)
Miss Im: "I hope it's nothing worse."
Alicia: "Not at all... Miss Im, this is my friend Iriel, a freshman. Iriel, meet Miss Im, queen of all waiters here."
Iriel: "Nice to meet you, ma'am."
Miss Im: "And you, dear. So, what's your order?"
Alicia: "Two cups."
Iriel raised an eyebrow-they had planned to buy four. Alicia signalled her to relax.
Miss Im: "Thanks to our BOGO promo, you'll get four."Alicia: "Thanks!" (smiling, impressed)
Miss Im: "Thank Silvae's, kid."
Alicia leaned toward Iriel.
Alicia: "Now you know why it's the best."
Iriel: "Because of the promo?"
Alicia: "Bingo."
They laughed together.
Then the ground trembled.
An earthquake shook everything. Time seemed to stop. In front of them, an AI-like figure appeared.
Iriel & Alicia: "Wow..."
Iriel: "What are you?" they weren't really surprised cause the strangest things had been happening to them these days
Messenger Board: "I am a Messenger Board from Hazel."Alicia: "You mean... from Marthadon?"
Messenger Board: "I had no other way to relay this message. She needs you at the fortress."
Alicia and Iriel were the only ones left in motion.
Messenger Board: "Preparing teleportation sequence-"
A portal opened.
Iriel: "Uh... so fast."
Alicia: "What about the others?"
Messenger Board: "My other personality will handle that. Once we're gone, your timeline will resume."
They stepped through the portal
Iriel :(she whispered in Alicia's ears) what about the vae's
Alicia :we would come back for it (with these same tone, they stepped into the portal, which seemed more like they were making a decision than just teleporting)
.Chapter 21
At the fortress, Ryan and Ely were already there when Iriel and Alicia arrived in the teleportation device which opened as soon as they got there)
Alicia: "This place feels... alive.",as she gazed around
Ryan: "Better than the last time we came."
Hazel emerged from the automated door. She wore a black kameez, with an inner cloth bearing the "M" sign. Kylock followed, his glowing blue skin and green eyes making him stand out. His long black-and-blue hair and the three dots on his forehead gave him a unique presence he was like an age mate with Hazel with his differences the looks proofed that, he was an alien
Hazel: "Meet your captain... Kylock."(her tone had a mix of humility and a bit militancy
Ryan: "Field commander, you mean?"(His gaze fixed on the creature in front of him
Hazel: "You can say that."(a simple smile appeared on her face
Iriel and Alicia rushed forward.
Iriel: "I'm Iriel
Alicia: "I'm Alicia."
They smiled uncontrollably. Even Kylock looked confused about whom to respond to first.
Kylock: "Hazel told me a lot about you guys."
Ryan: "I'm Ryan."
Ely: "I'm Ely, cap. We'll have time to get to know each other better. I'm always available for that."giving him a theatrical salute
Hazel: "Enough introductions. Let's move to the main matter."(this was the militant style she introduced Kylock with, unlike the first time they met, hostile but she actually cared)
She tapped the large screen.
"Four Nesas ago..."
The group stared, confused.
Kylock: "Four days?"(He noticed their confusion)
Ely: "Wow..."
Hazel: "Message with an unknown sender hit Marthadon's satellite with a warning. (it was audioed not visual)
The message said: 'Mart Force... prepare for an invasion. Something big,and dangerous is coming at full speed ready to consume Marthadon, You are about to be attacked by-'"
The message cut off abruptly.
Hazel: "And that was it, it seems like it was from a long distance and that was the cause of it visual defects
Kylock: "The danger isn't the warning...
it's what came next."
Hazel: "Two Nesas ago, the Athrakanian caravan-"
Iriel: "Caravan?"
Hazel: "It was attacked by these creatures."
The Death Allies appeared on screen-monsters from the first sight who attacked Og
