Hazel : These Ning Nong packs… I knew it was out of our reach.

They reported to the fortress, Hazel was flaming in fury already ready to devour those things, and she seemed more human with her fury)
Hazel : These Ning Nong packs… I knew it was out of our reach.
(She slammed the device on the table in front of her, agitated. The other five stood a little apart, leaning on some tech gadgets, giving her a "chill" stare.)
Ryan: Where in the world is this Navan?
Kylock: Simply the deadliest place in Marthadon.
(It appeared on the screen. Lightning was all over the place.)
It's filled with mystical, dangerous creatures whose existence can not be explained, and murderous traps whose origin is unknown. It's located in the Dark Lands,
Hazel: Thousands of explorers—
(Sudden chills sped through their spines.)
Alicia: Thousands?!
Hazel: They explored it but ended up dying in the process… or got lost trying to escape
.Ely: That's worth an adventure.
(He smirked. His thoughts were a stark contrast to what was going on. They were highly surprised by his words this was fun to them
Kylock: Trust me, Ely. This is your worst nightmare, not a place to have adventurous fun.
Iriel: I thought you said the Mart Force was created for dangerous situations like this. Maybe this could be an introductory adventure for us.
(Her words froze Hazel and Kylock in shock. What in the world is she saying?")
Ryan: Actually, she's right. Maybe it's time for round two. Besides, people are going to die if we don't act fast, right?
Kylock: Yes.
Alicia: Then what are we waiting for?
Hazel: (voice mixed with surprise and fear) Okay… I'llOkay… I'll check what we can do to reduce the risks.
Ryan: That's what we're talking about.
Kylock: You guys can go now. We'll call you when we get anything.
Hazel: You guys can contact me through this.
(She gave them a tech device like a ball, with a red button at the top.)
Press this. (pointing at the button) I'll send the portal immediately.
Alicia: Roger that.
(The four entered the teleporter.)
(The quaternions, after the long trip of fighting the Death Allies, entered Degriss High School's old, dusty, haggard attic. It was a terrible scene. The dust welcomed them horribly, and the cracked walls were proof that the place was ancient. Rusty materials and useless stuff lay everywhere.)
Ryan: (dumbfounded) What in the world is my offence to deserve this?
Alicia: (scorning) Coming from the person who missed Coach's training session.
Iriel: You guys should be appreciative of our macnermity.
(Ryan started dusting one of the old tools. It was a shovel.)
Ryan: Since what week has this place been cleaned?
(He held the shovel in a way that showed how disgusting it was.)
Alicia: Speaking of weeks… talk about years.
Iriel: Wow.
(She was assisting Ryan now.)
Ely: This is absolutely child abuse.
(Alicia assisted him, exchanging tools among each other. They were definitely sure this had swallowed their whole day. After a while, a portal opened, producing an explosive force that shook the shelves and pushed the humans in the attic backward. It was a greenish portal emitting forceful vibes. The quaternions
could barely see what was happening.
Og came out of the portal. He was floating in the air, hovering close to the entrance. He was badly injured, but he managed to speak.
Og: Mart Force… your world is in danger.
(He stammered in pain, fell from the air, and lost consciousness. The portal closed immediately.)
The four stood up carefully, recovering slowly. They felt a mix of amazement and fear. Why was it always this place that portals opened?
Ryan: What in the world is this thing? And how does it know the Mart Force?
Alicia: Maybe we should take it to Hazel.
(Even she couldn't believe she said that.)Iriel: You think so? (scared of what could happen)
Ely: Unless we want the whole school to know about this.
Ryan: We can't let that happen. We take it to her.
At this point, they knew their lives weren't normal anymore. Everything had changed. This was way more than what they expected
Together, they carried the unconscious creature through the portal.
Back inside the fortress, the creature was placed inside a transparent medical pod filled with glowing purple healing fluid.
Machines surrounded the chamber as scanners continuously monitored its condition.
STATUS: STABLE
Ryan, Alicia, Eli, Iriel and Kylock watched silently while Hazel studied the readings.
Iriel finally broke the silence.
"Do you think it came from Marthadon?"
Ryan nodded.
"It knew about the Mart Force."
Kylock folded his arms.
"We'll get our answers when it wakes up."
Hazel smiled.
"But that's not why I brought you here."
Everyone turned toward her.
"I have a surprise."
Eli sighed dramatically.
"I hate surprises."
Kylock laughed.
"You'll like this one."
Hazel pressed the glowing M symbol on the control panel.
A holographic image appeared.
Alicia blinked.
"So... the hologram is the surprise?"
Hazel smiled.
"No."
She enlarged the projection.
"This... is the Stealth Fighter."
Iriel raised an eyebrow.
"A Stealth Fighter?"
Hazel nodded proudly.
"It can perfectly imitate the appearance, energy signature and DNA of any Marthadonian creature."
Ryan stared at the hologram.
"So... it's basically a disguise?"
"It's much more than that," Kylock replied.
Hazel continued.
"It travels ahead of you, triggering hidden traps before you reach them."
Eli's eyes widened.
"That's incredible."
Kylock raised a finger.
"But it can't fight."
Everyone looked at him.
"If monsters attack, you're on your own."
Iriel smiled.
"So it does the easy part."
Kylock laughed.
"And you do the dangerous part."
Hazel smiled again.
"And that's only the beginning."
Ryan grinned.
"There's more?"
"Follow me."
The group followed Hazel into another chamber.
The lights illuminated a sleek triangular aircraft resting on a launch platform.
Its polished metallic surface reflected the blue lights of the hangar.
Everyone stopped.
Kylock's jaw slowly dropped.
"...A speed jet?"
Hazel smiled proudly.
"Not just any speed jet."
The team climbed aboard.
Alicia stared around in amazement.
"This thing is beautiful."
Hazel's voice echoed through the speakers.
"This is the fastest jet ever built. It possesses one hundred percent durability, an advanced autopilot system and an adaptive organic control interface. Please fasten your seatbelts."
Everyone quickly took their seats.
Kylock settled into the pilot's chair.
Iriel and Alicia sat in the middle row while Ryan and Eli occupied the rear seats.
The transparent windows expanded, revealing an enormous panoramic view of Marthadon.
Kylock smiled.
"Ready?"
The engines hummed to life.
The jet slowly lifted from its platform before accelerating into the sky with breathtaking speed.
Outside, countless glowing green lights streaked across the heavens.
Alicia gasped.
"They're beautiful."
Ryan leaned closer to the window.
"What are they?"
Kylock smiled.
"Those are Starlight Wrinkles—tiny organisms that cling to the atmosphere and leave glowing trails as they drift."
Moments later, enormous butterfly-like creatures with shimmering blue wings floated gracefully past the aircraft.
Eli pointed excitedly.
"What about those?"
"Those are Sky Divers."
Soon afterward, glowing fish-like creatures swam through the sky as though it were an endless ocean.
"And those?"
"Grazels."
Suddenly, an enormous dragon covered in emerald-green fur with glowing golden stripes soared past the jet.
Its massive wings shook the aircraft as it disappeared into the clouds.
Iriel stared in complete amazement.
"What... was that?"
Kylock smiled.
"A Kara Kara."
Alicia laughed.
"A Kara... what?"
"You'll learn all about Marthadon's wildlife soon enough," Kylock replied. "For now... just enjoy the view."
The group fell silent.
Outside the windows, floating mountains drifted across the horizon while glowing forests stretched beneath rivers of shimmering light.
For the first time since arriving in Marthadon, they truly understood the breathtaking beauty... and unimaginable vastness... of the world they had sworn to protect
