The South Wall

“Who the hell are you?” Porseila looked at the figure floating in the air. Although she uttered in such a manner, she was feeling mushy in her stomach. The figure had dashing purple hair. Lightning was dancing on his muscular body and two purple wings behind him were making him only more handsome.

The purple eyes were gazing at her shyly while determination could be seen in them. His clenched fist was also filled with the same emotions. He was there to save her.

“Hey.” Xavic nodded cooly towards Porseila. “Um, I am here to assist you. My name is Xavic.”

“Who sent you? I have never heard of you before.” She answered back. The monster was still stunned, thus couldn’t even move. But the small wounds on her body were closing up at visible speed.

“I am a friend of Miles. When we heard you were in trouble, we rushed back. Another friend of mine is assisting at the North Wall.” Xavic answered as he charged up another lightning.

“I can stun the monster with my lightning, but you have to end it in the meantime. If you can’t, my next attack will heal it.”

He wanted to explain, but Porseila was too occupied in her thoughts. When she heard the mysterious figure was a friend of Miles's, she instantly started to hate the person. But this same person was dashing, handsome, and courageous. She couldn’t help but feel the hots for him.

“Why that little shit.” She screamed in her heart. “Fine. I will deal with her, but you have to stay close to me. I can reflect the spores she is using to create illusions. But if you are too far away, I cannot do anything.”

“Fine.” Xavic grudgingly nodded. He heard a lot about her from Miles and to be honest he didn’t want to be there. After all, Miles was a brother of his in everything but blood. To help them just in case the monster would attack their stronghold, he risked being called a traitor. It might seem small, but Miles was a Cross. It meant a lot for him and Zall.

They were also rushing at their maximum speed as soon as they heard it was Miles’s stronghold where it got hit. They met on their way to the stronghold and all three felt the brotherhood they were carrying all this while. Because of that, he didn’t like these people. But to protect the stronghold, he had to work with Porseila. Thus the unwillingness.

Porseila on the other hand was feeling downcast. She thought she was one of the most beautiful young girls in Unity. There were thousands of suitors who would do everything to woo her. But first Merlin, then the Marooner, and now this person, all were acting as if she was nothing but an insect.

‘I am still a beauty and princess of the Lemaze Family! I demand respect!’ She cried in her heart but couldn’t word it out.

“Enough!” The monster shouted as she shook off the chains of lightning stunning her. The dots on her skin started to shine, and her arms started to swell. Her wings were dancing in a mysterious manner, but her small figure still looked fragile.

“It is time to end this shit show!”

The North Wall

“Who are you?” Mihr looked at the giant of a man while keeping an eye on the monster. “Wait, I remember you. You were with the Post Commander of another stronghold. Are you here to assist us?”

“Just me and a friend of mine. We are Miles’s buddies, here to help you.” Zall smiled clemently. “The name is Zall, honored to meet you.”

“Oh, I see. So the strongholds are not helping.” Mihr was crestfallen but gathered his wits up quickly. “Eh, that Cross huh? So, what is your superpower? Are you strong?”

After the alien incident, people in positions started to recognize Miles and even keep track of him. Mihr even before that knew who Miles was. When they meet in the auction, Tian Ling run back to cry at his best buddy what Miles and Merlin did to him. After the auction, Mihr Orril went to Cross Family and formally apologized to Miles. After all, he would work with Tian Ling all the time, and the latter tried to kill the youngest Cross child.

“My Superpower gives me nigh-indestructible skin. So I will defend you, and you have to kill the monster.” Zall explained. He too knew who Mihr was, so didn’t ask what his superpower was. After all, as the grandson of the President, Mihr was quite famous.

“Alright, so long as you can keep him pinned, I will cut his heart out.” Mihr snapped. The monster killed many of his men and even his right-hand guard. He was quite hateful.

The monster was watching the duo with a squint. When his bullets clashed with the newcomer’s arm, he felt how hard that person’s skin was. Now that he heard that man had a nigh-indestructible skin, he thought it wasn’t quite far from as he described. He was known as the toughest mofo in their circle after the mutation Mama bestowed upon them. His bones were especially unbreakable. But when they collided with that man’s arm, there were fine cracks all over them.

“Why are you interfering with my battle?” The monster shouted from afar. He didn’t want to deal with this big man. He knew how annoying it could become when it came to a battle of hardness.

“You started this stampede, so you have to be killed,” Zall answered back with a smile.

“You invaded this world! You built a building on this land! You are the foreigners. How dare you accuse us?” The monster shouted in hatred. His old vengeance against the Earthlings mixed with his new hatred towards humanity.

“Shut up!” Zall and Mihr shouted at the same time. Images of people suffering appeared in their minds.

“Monsters invaded our peaceful lives first!” Mihr hissed in hatred. His eyes were so angry, even the monster took a step back. “You attacked humanity at our lowest, you deserve every bad thing in existence!”

“Well said!” Zall nodded. Surprisingly he wasn’t smiling. He raised his fist and looked at the small boy. “I am sorry. I am sorry that you will be killed. You look like a human child, so I feel regret for what I am about to do, but it is how it is. It is us or you.”
